The Draper University of Heroes received
tentative approval from the San Mateo
Planning Commission Tuesday night but not
after it agreed to several conditions such as
having more retail presence in the former
Collective Antiques building downtown.
The marathon meeting lasted nearly six
hours as members of the
public had the chance to
decry some of the short-
comings they see in the
proposal such as parking
and making sure the
school for entrepreneurs
ts in with the retail char-
acter of downtown.
The university, founded
by venture capitalist Tim Draper, will now
seek nal approval from the City Council at
its Feb. 4 meeting.
Draper has already mostly converted the
former Benjamin Franklin Hotel on Third
Avenue into dorms for its students and is in
the process of designing the Collective
Entrepreneurs Club, which will be a major
component of the three-building campus and
open to the public on a membership basis. The
former Bank of Wachovia building on Fourth
Avenue will also house administrative ofces
and a campus bookstore if the project gets
council approval.
The university held a pilot program over the
summer and hopes to host its next class of stu-
dents starting in April for an eight-week ses-
sion. About 30 people attending the meeting

State budget
debate turns
to spending
Gov.Jerry Browns proposal for
2013-14 fiscal year out today
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown is
preparing a spending plan as California
faces its most optimistic nancial outlook
in years, yet the Democratic governors
intention to stick with a frugal scal agen-
da could put him on a collision course with
Democratic lawmakers who seek to restore
state services lost during the recession.
After years of deep spending cuts to education, health and
social programs, Brown and California lawmakers will be
debating this year how to spend the states money rather than
battling over what to cut.
Brown will release his budget proposal Thursday for the
2013-14 scal year, which begins July 1. He is expected to
boost education funding by at least $2 billion, as he promised
during his campaign for Proposition 30. The November initia-

A Millbrae man facing the possibility of life in prison for
repeatedly molesting his young stepdaughters committed sui-

Richard Kenneth Watterworth was to appear in court Feb. 8
for a preliminary hearing on the charges but died from a self-

Authorities had conscated weapons from Watterworth after

BRACING FOR COLD
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
San Mateo County, its joint powers
nancing authority and several other
California public agencies are suing
major banks they claim have manipulat-
ed a global benchmark interest rate.
The suit targets 20 current or former
nancial institutions that set LIBOR, or
the London Interbank Offered Rate,
which is the worlds benchmark interest
rate used for setting short-term interest
rates. LIBOR is set daily by the British
Bankers Association based on an aver-
age of the interest rates each member
bank reports and Libor-based invest-
ments total in the trillions of dollars
every year.
In March 2011, government regulators
in four countries including the United
States launched investigations of LIBOR
rate manipulation to increase the banks
own prots and to create the illusion of
financial strength. In July 2012,
Barclays admitted manipulating LIBOR
with other members and in December
2012 UBS agreed to pay more than $1.5
million in penalties. A former UBS trad-
er and two brokers were also arrested in
London in connect with the investigation
and criminal charges were led in New
County, several others sue major banks

Officials: Possible fifth

MEXICO CITY A 15-year-old girl
found fatally bitten by dogs outside a

a teenage couple were found covered in
fatal bites from as many as 10 dogs a

Increasing safety to gas lines is part of the
settlement between Pacic Gas and Electric
and the family of a mother and daughter killed
in the 2010 San Bruno explosion, a lawyer
said this week.
On Sept. 9, 2010, a natural gas line main-
tained by PG&E ruptured, causing an explo-
sion and re that killed eight and destroyed 38
homes. Among the eight killed were 44-year-
old Jacqueline Greig and her 13-year-old
daughter Janessa Greig. The agreement with
the Greig family incorporates additional safe-
ty assessment practices for all segments of the
gas transmission lines within high conse-
quence areas.
Our efforts to resolve this case, during the
last six months this case was prosecuted,
focused almost exclusively on strategies for
assessing the potential for gas line failures in
the future. PG&E and its counsel, while work-
ing with our engineers, agreed to implement
these additional quantiable safety measures,
attorney Steve Campora wrote in a prepared
statement.
The agreement with the family was reached
last year. The monetary provisions remain pri-
vate.
Were working every day to do everything
we can to make the victims of this tragedy as
whole as possible. Our goal is to generate the
safest gas utility company, said PG&E
spokeswoman Brittany Chord.
Under the agreement, PG&E will use
hydrostatic testing measures to verify the
pressure a pipe can withstand, and fatigue life
calculations will be used to predict the useful
life span of lines to allow for replacement
prior to creating a risk. Lastly, parts of the
Fracture Control and Assessment Plan will be
enforceable by the family, according to the
press release. The Greigs will be advised of
the progress of the work and have the option
to audit it should they choose.
Hydrotesting has been used since 2010 by
PG&E.
PG&E could not have been compelled by a
jury verdict to include these additional assess-
ment measures, so we are very pleased that
they cooperated with our efforts to make these
safeguards enforceable as part of the settle-
ment, Campora wrote.
As of Dec. 31, there were 447 plaintiffs
involved in lawsuits related to the 2010 explo-
sion. Three of those voluntarily dismissed
their suits and 112 had settled, said Chord.
Jury selection for the remaining cases is
expected to start in late February and opening
statements are expected March 11.

PG&E settlement requires safety measures
A 24-year-old Redwood City man accused
of stealing the former district attorneys credit
card by falsely claiming he needed access to
his backyard to nd a missing baseball was
sentenced Wednesday to 11 years and eight
months in state prison.
Andrew Michael Jonke reportedly
knocked on former district attorney Keith
Sorensons door on Feb. 20, 2012, claiming
his baseball went into the mans backyard
and asked if he could
retrieve it. Sorenson let
Jonke in and the next day
discovered his wallet
missing from inside the
home. Sorensons credit
card was used five times
beginning hours after the
encounter with Jonke and
surveillance video at one
of the locations actually
captured Jonke using the card, according to
the District Attorneys Office.
Jonke pleaded no contest in September to
felony counts of identity theft, residential bur-
glary and possession stolen property. He also
admitted having a criminal strike and a felony
conviction within the past ve years in return
for just shy of the dozen years in prison.
Jonke has been in custody in lieu of
$200,000 bail.

NDNU to offer nations
first doctorate in art therapy
Beginning in the fall, Notre Dame de Namur
University will become the rst university in
the nation to offer a doctor of philosophy in art
therapy.
With 133 students, NDNUs masters pro-
gram in art therapy is the largest in the United
States and is recognized internationally as one
of the leading art therapy programs in the
world. This will be NDNUs rst doctoral pro-
gram.
Art therapy, as a discipline, has been prac-
ticed since the 1940s and has grown rapidly in
recent years, said Richard Carolan, chair of
the NDNU Department of Art Therapy. The
need for a rigorous program designed to pro-
duce art therapists with a high level of skill in
both research and clinical work has been clear
for several years. As a recognized leader in the
eld of art therapy, it was logical for NDNU to
offer the rst Ph.D. in this discipline.
In recent years, Carolan added that positions
for art therapists have been growing rapidly in
hospitals, school programs, community agen-
cies, military family and veterans health serv-
ices and services for the elderly.
According to the Art Therapy Association,
art therapy is a mental health profession that
uses the creative process of art making to
improve and enhance the physical, mental and
emotional well-being of individuals of all
ages.
The three-year NDNU doctorate program is
designed for working art therapy professionals
with masters degrees in art therapy or a relat-
ed eld and emphasizes scholarly research as
well as clinical expertise. NDNU has offered a
master of arts in art therapy for more than 30
years and was one of the rst schools in the
West to offer the degree. Masters students
may also earn a master of arts in marriage and
family therapy through the art therapy depart-
ment. Both degrees lead to registration as an
art therapist.
County urges flu vaccine
County health ofcials are warning the u
season looks to be active nationwide and is
encouraging all residents 6 months and older
to get vaccinated.
Flu activity usually peaks in February but
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention is reporting widespread activity
started in early January in many states. So far,
18 children have died and hospitalizations
continue throughout the nation. There have
been no reported deaths, hospitalizations or
outbreaks in San Mateo County due to u-
related complications, according to the Health
System ofcials.
Health ofcials are recommending residents
who have not yet done so be vaccinated by
calling their health care provider, visiting a
pharmacy or supermarket or check for infor-
mation on vaccination events at
www.smchealth.org/flu or
www.ShooTheFlu.org.
The u vaccine is a very good match for
this years strains of inuenza, said Dr. Scott
Morrow, the countys public health ofcer.
The vaccine takes an average of two weeks
for people to develop an immunity so Morrow
recommends getting vaccinated as early as
possible.
Two men rob drugstore
Two men armed with handguns entered
Anchor Drugs on Spruce Avenue in South San
Francisco Wednesday morning and robbed the
business, according to police.
The suspects ed the store at 161 S. Spruce
Ave., in a newer model, red Chevrolet
Corvette with a black soft top. No shots were
red during the robbery and not patrons or
employees were injured, according to police.
One suspect is described as an Asian male in
his late teens to early 20s, 5 feet 10 inches tall,
with a thin build, wearing a gray hooded
sweatshirt, black jacket, black pants and a
black and orange baseball cap. The second
suspect is described as a black male in his late
teens to early 20s, 6 feet tall, thin build, wear-
ing a green jacket, black pants and black base-
ball cap.
Anyone with information on the crime is
encouraged to call South San Francisco police
at (650) 877-8900 or the anonymous tip line at
(650) 952-2244.
Police seek three after shots fired
Redwood City police are seeking three men
who ran from the scene after witnesses report-
ed hearing between ve to seven shots red on
the 700 block of Whipple Avenue yesterday
afternoon.
The shots were reported at approximately
2:53 p.m. Three Hispanic males were seen ee-
ing the area on foot south across Whipple
Avenue toward Mezes Park, according to police.
Deputies find alligator
guarding 34 pounds of marijuana
Sheriffs deputies found 34 pounds of mari-
juana being guarded by an alligator during a
probation compliance check in Castro Valley
on Tuesday afternoon, an Alameda County
sheriffs sergeant said.
The dried, processed marijuana was found in
a bedroom at a home in the 19000 block of Mt.
Jasper Drive around 1:30 p.m., along with the
live 5-foot-long alligator, which was living in a
Plexiglas tank, sheriffs Sgt. J.D. Nelson said.
The suspect, 32-year-old Assif Mayar, was
booked into the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin on
drug possession and sales charges, according
to the sheriffs ofce.
Nelson said Mayar apparently acquired the
alligator, named Mr. Teeth, in 1996 to com-
memorate the death of rapper Tupac Shakur. It
appears the animal was being used as a deter-
rent to scare away would-be marijuana
thieves.
Mr. Teeth was taken to the Oakland Zoo,
where zoo ofcials said he is being treated at
the veterinary hospital.
Vets are accessing his health, as it appears
he is fairly sick and likely stressed from the
events in the past few days. After hes checked
out he will be placed in quarantine, zoo of-
cials said.

Bryan Alexander Morales, 20, also admitted
acting to benet a street gang and causing
great bodily injury in the attack. In return for
taking the plea deal, Morales received a at
20-year term with a credit toward the term of
458 days. He must also pay restitution to be
determined at a Jan. 16 hearing.
According to prosecutors, Morales along
with three teens and a 16-year-old boy stabbed
the victim several times in
the abdomen at approxi-
mately 4:30 p.m. Dec. 13,
2011 on the 800 block of
Brewster Avenue.
Witnesses reported seeing
two males jump out of a
gold car, stab the man and
ee the area. Police located
a car matching the vehicle
description at a home in
the 2600 block of Marlborough Avenue and
ultimately arrested the three teens inside based
on their statements. The victim was hospital-
ized with critical injuries but survived.
Morales case was severed from that of his
co-defendants after his defense attorney ques-
tioned his competency to stand trial. Both
court-appointed doctors who evaluated
Morales concluded he was able to aid in his
own defense and criminal proceedings were
reinstated. Morales decided in November to
settle his case rather than head to trial.
Co-defendants Jose Antonio Jiminez-
Hernandez, 19, and Jose Luis Segurasuarez,
19, are similarly charged and will set a trial
date March 8. Co-defendant Billi Ruben
Antonio, 19, pleaded no contest in July to
being an accessory to a felony and participat-
ing in a street gang. He was sentenced to two
years with 456 days credit for time served fol-
lowed by a year of mandatory supervision.

WASHINGTON Vice President Joe
Biden vowed urgent action against gun vio-
lence in America Wednesday, pledging steps
by the Obama administration that he said could
take thousands of people out of harms way
and improve the safety of millions more.
But a day ahead of a meeting with the
National Rie Association, which has sunk
past gun control efforts and is opposing any
new ones, Biden signaled that the administra-
tion is mindful of political realities that could
imperil sweeping gun control legislation, and is
willing to settle for something less. He said the
administration is considering its own executive
action as well as measures by Congress, but he
didnt offer specics.
I want to make it clear that we are not going
to get caught up in the notion that unless we
can do everything, were going to do nothing,
Biden told an array of gun control advocates,
crime victims and others at the White House.
Its critically important we act.
Shortly after last months slaughter of
schoolchildren at Newtown, Conn., President
Barack Obama tasked
Biden with heading a com-
mission to come up with
recommendations on gun
policy by the end of this
month. Obama supports
steps including reinstating
a ban on assault weapons
and high-capacity ammu-
nition magazines and clos-
ing loopholes that allow
many gun buyers to avoid
background checks.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun
Violence says that some 40 percent of gun
sales are made without background checks,
such as at gun shows and over the Internet.
The tragedy in Newtown, in which 20 young
children and six adults were gunned down by a
man with a military-style semiautomatic rie,
has prodded the administration to act. Obama
had remained largely silent on gun control after
the 2011 shootings in Tucson, Ariz., that killed
six people and wounded 12 others including
then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and the Colorado
movie theater killing of a dozen people and
wounding of many more last July.

Teachers fund moves
to divest from firearms
SACRAMENTO The nations largest
teacher pension fund took the first step
Wednesday toward divesting from companies
that make guns and high-capacity ammunition
magazines that are illegal in California.
State Treasurer Bill Lockyer made a motion
to begin the divestment process after pension
fund ofcials determined that the fund invests
in the owner of a company that manufactured
one of the weapons used in the Connecticut
school shooting. The California State
Teachers Retirement Systems investment
committee unanimously approved the motion.

WASHINGTON The White House is
dismissing suggestions to sidestep Congress
to meet the nations debt obligations, declar-
ing that it is Congress responsibility to pay
the bills of the United States.
President Barack Obamas adamant stand
that he will not negotiate with Congress over
raising the nations borrowing limit and
Republican demands that a debt ceiling vote
be linked to spending cuts have prompted a
creative outburst of alternatives to driving the
country into default.
Under one proposed scenario, pushed by a
number of House Democrats, the president
could invoke the 14th Amendment, a post-
Civil War change to the Constitution that
states that the validity of the public debt of
the United States ... shall not be questioned.
Another proposal would take advantage of
a legal loophole meant for coin collectors
and have the Treasury mint platinum coins
that could be deposited at the Federal
Reserve and used to pay the nations bills.
There is no plan B. There is no backup
plan, White House spokesman Jay Carney
said Wednesday. There is no alternative to
Congress raising the debt ceiling.
The government has already reached its
$16.4 trillion borrowing limit and by late
February or early March the Treasury
Department will run out of ways to cover
debts and could begin defaulting on govern-
ment loans.
As of Wednesday 21 Democrats, led by
Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont, had signed a
letter urging Obama to invoke the 14th
Amendment that they say gives him the
authority to raise the debt ceiling without
going through Congress. The Democrats said
in a letter that they would support the use of
any authority, including the constitutional
provision, to prevent the nation from going
into default, an event that some economists
predict could trigger a global recession.
The Democrats, in their letter, said they
fully supported Obamas position that raising
the debt ceiling will not be subject to negoti-
ation. Threatening default on our nations
debt is an economic weapon of mass destruc-
tion that will have immediate and catastroph-
ic consequences for the economy as well as
Americas standing in the world, they said.
Welch, in an interview, told the Associated
Press said he understood that the president
might not want to embrace the 14th
Amendment alternative at this point, when it
might appear to be a power grab. But if
there is the ultimate act of congressional irre-
sponsibility by having the United States
default on its obligations, we encourage the
president to rescue the country. He said ulti-
mately the courts would have to decide what
authority the amendment confers on the pres-
ident.
The coin idea has been mentioned by such
economists as Paul Krugman, a columnist at
The New York Times, and Donald Marron,
the director of the Urban-Brookings Tax
Policy Center.
Carney, reiterating a position the White
House has taken for some time on the use of
the 14th amendment, said Wednesday: We
just dont believe that it provides the author-
ity that some believe it does.
White House:No backup plan to debt ceiling
Threatening default on our nations
debt is an economic weapon of mass destruction
that will have immediate and catastrophic consequences
for the economy as well as Americas standing in the world.

Court wary of warrantless
blood tests in DUI cases
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court
appeared reluctant Wednesday to allow police
to routinely order blood tests for unwilling
drunken-driving suspects without at least try-
ing to obtain a search warrant from a judge.
The court heard arguments Wednesday in a
case about a disputed blood test from
Missouri, against the backdrop of a serious
national problem of more than 10,000 deaths
from crashes involving alcohol-impaired driv-
ers in 2010, about one every 51 minutes.
That number has dropped by 60 percent in
the past 20 years because of a sustained
national crackdown on drunken driving.
Lawyers for Missouri and the Obama admin-
istration argued that dispensing with a warrant
requirement would further that effort because
any delay in testing a suspects blood-alcohol
content allows alcohol to dissipate in the
blood.
Here, police are facing the certain destruc-
tion of blood-alcohol evidence, Justice
Department lawyer Nicole Saharsky said.
But justices across the ideological spectrum
questioned whether the intrusive procedure of
sticking a needle in someones arm to draw
blood should routinely be done without the
approval of a judge.

WASHINGTON The composi-
tion of President Barack Obamas
second term Cabinet became clearer
Wednesday, with
Labor Secretary
Hilda Solis
resigning and
three other mem-
bers of the presi-
dents team
deciding to stay
on amid con-
cerns about
diversity in
Obamas inner circle.
Solis, a former California con-
gresswoman and one of the highest-
ranking Hispanics in the Cabinet,
said she was departing after leading
the department during the economic
storms of the rst term. She was the
nations rst Hispanic labor secre-
tary.
A White House ofcial said three
Cabinet members Attorney
General Eric Holder, Health and
Human Services Secretary Kathleen
Sebelius and
Veterans Affairs
Secretary Eric
Shinseki
would stay on as
the second term
begins. It would
ensure diversity
among the presi-
dents leadership
team Holder
is black, Sebelius is a woman and
Shinseki is of Japanese-American
descent.
The ofcial, who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity to discuss person-
nel changes, said the three remaining
ofcials were not an exhaustive list of
which Cabinet members intended to
stay.
Some Democratic women have
raised concerns that the big three
jobs in the Cabinet State, Defense
and Treasury will be taken by
white men. Democratic Sen. John
Kerry of Massachusetts has been
tapped as the next secretary of state;
former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel,
a Republican, was picked to run the
Pentagon and White House Chief of
Staff Jack Lew is expected to be
named Treasury
secretary later
this week.
The White
House is expect-
ed to announce
more members
of Obamas
Cabinet in the
coming weeks,
giving the presi-
dent a chance to present a team that
reects the diverse coalition of
women, Hispanics and minorities
that helped give him a second term.
Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to
the United Nations and a close friend
of the president, removed her name
from consideration for the State
Department last month following
criticism from Republicans over her
initial comments about the attacks on
Americans in Libya. Several female
House Democrats said the criticism
of Rice, who is black, was indicative
of sexism and racism.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson
said last month she is stepping down
after nearly four years as the admin-
istrations chief environmental
watchdog.

bles, rendering his signature illegi-

ture is emblazoned in the lower

for the Treasury post or if the
Senate will make that a condition
of his conrmation.

WASHINGTON Its the same
debate, the same numbers and practi-
cally the same plan, but the White
House is working harder to keep
troops in Afghanistan than it did in
similar but failed discussions in Iraq
in 2011.
Security remains shaky in both war
zones, but current and former U.S.
ofcials say the Obama administra-
tion cannot afford to lose in
Afghanistan after a dozen years of
ghting and an ongoing threat by al-
Qaida and its extremist Taliban allies.
Defeating al-Qaida and bolstering
Afghan forces to prevent the terror
networks return there has been a top
priority for President Barack Obama
since he took ofce, while ending the
war in Iraq was the fulllment of a
campaign promise.
Weve made a lot of progress
against al-Qaida, but the job is not
done, Doug Lute, the top White
House military adviser on
Afghanistan, told reporters this week.
The Afghan National Security
Forces are a work in progress.
The U.S. has 66,000 troops in
Afghanistan, down from a peak of
about 100,000 as recently as 2010.
Just how many troops might remain
is at the heart of widespread discus-
sion in Washington, where
Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai
meets with Obama on Friday.
As initially in Iraq, U.S. ofcials
are considering keeping between
3,000 and 15,000 American troops in
Afghanistan after 2014. That would
not happen, however, if U.S. troops
are denied legal immunity from pros-
ecution in Afghanistan which ulti-
mately is what ended the same nego-
tiations in Iraq.
Weve seen this movie so many
times, said Sen. John McCain, the
senior Republican on the Senate
Armed Services Committee, who
remains troubled over the Iraq with-
drawal.

OPINION 9
Wrong target
Editor,
All this talk about the pollution
from wood-burning fireplaces is a
smoke screen for the real pollutants
endangering air quality: motor vehi-
cles.
How many residents, out of 100
houses, burn wood regularly in their
fireplaces? I would venture a guess at
maybe five.
Conversely, how many residents,
with an average of two cars per house,
drive their vehicles daily? I would
estimate at close to 100 percent.
I dont hear much about regulating
driving on Spare the Air days. In
fact, I dont hear much about regulat-
ing anything else but fireplace burning
on Spare the Air days (for example:
smoke-belching factory chimneys,
wood-burning pizza kitchens, tar and
gravel-roofing trucks).
The statistically minimal incidence
of fireplace burning is the reason for
its targeting. Its easy to pick on a
minority.
If the Bay Area Quality
Management District wants to get seri-
ous about air quality, it should target
every polluter on Spare the Air days.

Letter to the editor
By Leland Yee
I
n September, as a result of a law I
authored in 2011, California
launched online voter registration.
Consequently, California set a new
record with 18,245,970 registered vot-
ers. More than 1 million people used
the new registration system in less than
a month, with moe than 780,000 citi-
zens added to the voter le. Nearly 62
percent of those who registered online
were under age 35 and four out of ve
registered to vote for the rst time.
Proudly, these individuals also voted in
much higher numbers than those eligi-
ble via paper registration from previous
elections.
Unfortunately, this past year we also
saw the reinstitution of the poll tax in
many states. Thats right. Some may
use nicer words, but its a poll tax. By
reducing the places where people could
vote and the number of days for early
voting, dubious secretaries of state
grew the lines. People had to wait four,
ve or six hours. For an hourly wage
earner, say a hotel housekeeper in
Miami, that wait cost her $40 or $50 in
lost earnings.
While some spent their energies try-
ing to suppress the vote around the
country, in contrast, California dramati-
cally increased our voter rolls, especial-
ly among young people and rst-time
voters.
Our new online voter registration
system was protected from fraud by
matching information from the online
registration form with data from the
Department of Motor Vehicles, and all
registrations went through the same
screening process in which paper regis-
trations are veried.
There is no denying that online regis-
tration was an incredible success and
demonstrated that using modern tech-
nology can signicantly enhance our
democracy. That is why I believe we
need to start thinking about not just
registering online, but voting online as
well.
Voters are understandably distressed
that on Election Day
they often wait in
long lines to cast
their ballot espe-
cially when we can
conduct so many
very sensitive trans-
actions online such
as banking, paying
our taxes and pur-
chasing products.
I share this frustration but I have a
fundamental optimism that the barriers
to online voting can be lifted if enough
research and development is devoted to
solving the problem.
Unfortunately, Internet voting sys-
tems are not yet ready for deployment.
The National Institutes for Standards
and Technology and cyber security
experts at the Department of Homeland
Security have reviewed the currently
commercially available Internet voting
systems and found that fundamental
security problems have not been
resolved and thus should not be used
yet in our public elections.
Some of the challenges include the
simple fact that even the most secure of
online systems have been breached
including those at the Centcomm and
the FBI. In other words, in todays
cyber-security environment, even so-
called secure online banking has weak-
nesses. Banks annually lose billions to
cyber fraud and theft despite investing
heavily in the most state-of-the-art
cyber security tools available.
While e-commerce can tolerate a cer-
tain level of fraud, our elections cannot
and should not. Accepting that 1 per-
cent of all online transactions will be
fraudulent or lost is common practice
among banks and merchants. Elections,
however, can be decided by less than
0.1 percent of the vote, making our
democracy much less tolerant of small-
scale loss or fraud. Furthermore, the
Constitution safeguards the right for
every eligible citizen to have their bal-
lot count as cast not just 99 percent
of citizens.
Additionally, online banking or credit
card fraud can be detected because both
parties in the transaction maintain and
audit account records. But we vote by
secret ballot, a critical safeguard in our
election process to protect against coer-
cion and voter suppression. Currently,
there are no commercially available
means to reconcile the vote cast with
the vote counted and there is no current
mechanism for a voter to check that his
or her ballot was received and counted
as cast. This makes online voting espe-
cially susceptible to undetectable tam-
pering and leaves an unacceptable
means to recount ballots in extremely
close elections.
I am, however, encouraged to know
that some of the greatest minds in our
universities and at private corporations
are working to overcome some of these
fundamental challenges. I look forward
to a time that citizens can cast ballots
from their home computers and have
condence that their ballots will be
counted as cast and that any attempt to
hack and game the system will be
detected.
I believe everyone who is eligible
should be able to easily participate in
our democracy and that is why I will
not give up on the idea of one day vot-
ing online.
With some of the best universities
and colleges in the world and some of
the brightest minds in the technology
sector, California is poised to continue
to lead on nding new and exciting
ways to improve our democracy. We
have done extraordinary things
many of which people said could never
happen. While some people may say
never to online voting, I say lets put
our collective minds and energy into
nding a way.

Crazy for news
N
orman Bates, step aside and stop with the
creepy taxidermy. Travis Bickle, get back in
your taxi cab and drive away.
You two characters have nothing compared to journal-
ists in the psychopath category. Sure, reporters are often
labeled crazy for remaining
in a shrinking, low-paying
field that others are always
more than happy to catego-
rize as dying. Now, the loony
label has actual proof.
To be fair, the actual title
is psychopath, at least
according to the top 10 list
of professions most like to
attract them that was com-
piled by an Oxford
University psychologist. But
still, when the occupation
journalist is usually only
found on lists of worst jobs alongside lumberjack, this
latest mention seems like a step up.
Of course, the ink-stained scribes didnt take the top
spot. That belongs to CEO, followed by lawyer, media
(television/radio), salesperson, surgeon, journalist,
police officer, clergyperson, chef and civil servant.
This list makes a very important distinction that is a
long time coming broadcast folk are different than
journalists. Apparently, they are also twice as likely to
harbor a secret inner Dexter personality. Maybe that
explains the perfectly coifed hair and bright smiles while
regaling viewers with the days batch of doom and
gloom. At least those opting for print careers have no
need to hide their cynicism and disdain while filling the
page.
To be clear, were talking about psychopaths here. Not
sociopaths, spree killers, serial killers, the depressed, the
bipolar or anybody else with sincere mental health issues
who unfortunately gets wadded up together into catch-all
terms like wacko, crazy, cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs or one
taco short of a fiesta platter.
According to the book containing this fascinating list,
psychopathic traits include ruthlessness, charm, focus,
mental toughness, fearlessness, mindfulness and action
sort of Gordon Gekko meets James Bond although it
is interesting to note neither genius corporate raider nor
international spy made the cut. Oddly, neither did remote
motel clerk, cabbie nor blood spatter pattern analyst.
Although the psychopath list is probably about as
valid as the study of phrenology, it does clear up a few
passing thoughts when watching Top Chef (is a reference
Hannibal Lecters fondness for Chianti and fava beans
even necessary?) It also explains a lot about several peo-
ple I know and gives me a legitimate epithet to use the
next time an officer hands me a ticket.
As a counterpart, a list of compassionate occupations
was also offered up: nurse, therapist, craftsperson, hair
stylist, charity worker, teacher, creative artist, doctor and
accountant.
Accountant really? Perhaps they rely on empathetic
traits when delivering bad tax news. But does the inclu-
sion on the list also imply they are less than charming
and made of weaker mettle? Besides, we all know the
nice guys finish last.
Beautician makes sense if you think about how many
hours they have spent listening to clients dish up their
problems and gossip. But in that vein, bartender should
merit a spot on that list or nail technician. And while all
the health professions seem like no-brainers, how is it
that doctors are unlikely to be psychopaths but as soon
as they specialize in surgery they cross over to the dark
side?
As a small digression, consider how many of these
psychopath types are allowed to carry potential weapons.
Cop. Surgeon. Chef. The most journalists have our dis-
posal is a sharpened pencil or heavy laptop. Then again,
if we truly are psychopaths at heart well find a way to
use whatever is at our disposal as long as we dont get
so innovative we cross over to the other, softer list as a
creative artist.
For now, the best response to the list is having reason
to say thank you the next time someone says Im a
tough nut to crack.

Big movers

NEW YORK Stocks rose on Wall
Street Wednesday after U.S. corporate
earnings reports got off to a good start.
The Dow Jones industrial average
climbed 61.66 points to 13,390.51, its rst
gain of the week. The Standard & Poors
500 index gained 3.87 points to 1,461.02,
and the Nasdaq composite rose 14 to
3,105.81.
Having rallied after a last-minute reso-
lution stopped the U.S. from going over
the scal cliff, stocks are facing their
rst big challenge of the year as compa-
nies start to report earnings for the fourth
quarter of 2012. Throughout last year,
analysts cut their outlook for earnings
growth in the period and now expect them
to rise by 3.21 percent, according to data
from S&P Capital IQ.
Maybe earnings expectations were a
little too low, said Ryan Detrick, a strate-
gist at Schaeffers Investment Research.
You dont need to have great earnings,
you just need to beat those expectations
for stocks to rally, Detrick said.
Early indications were decent.
Aluminum maker Alcoa reported late
Tuesday that it swung to a prot for the
fourth quarter, with earnings that met Wall
Streets expectations. The company
brought in more revenue than analysts had
expected, and the company also predicted
rising demand for aluminum this year as
the aerospace industry gains strength.
Alcoa is usually the rst Dow component
to report earnings every quarter.
Despite the better revenue number,
Alcoas stock performance Wednesday
was lackluster. It traded higher for part of
the day then ended down 2 cents at $9.08.
Other companies fared better after
reporting earnings. Helen of Troy, which
sells personal care products under brands
including Dr. Scholls and Vidal Sassoon,
rose 2.7 percent, up 90 cents to $34.43
after reporting a 15 percent increase in
quarterly net income.
Boeing was the biggest gainer of the 30
stocks in the Dow. It jumped 3.5 percent,
up $2.63 to $76.76, following two days of
sharp declines triggered by new problems
for its 787 Dreamliner. Boeing said it has
extreme condence in the plane even as
federal investigators try to determine the
cause of a re Monday aboard an empty
Japan Airlines plane in Boston and a fuel
leak at another JAL 787 on Tuesday.

SAN FRANCISCO Apple is trying
to decide whether it makes sense to offer
a cheaper iPhone as it tries to boost sales
in less-afuent countries and reclaim
some of the market share lost to cheaper
phones running Googles Android soft-
ware, according to a published report.
Wednesdays report in The Wall
Street Journal speculated that Apple
could lower the iPhones price by
equipping the device with an exterior
that costs less than the aluminum
housing on current models.
A cheaper iPhone could come out as
early as this year, or the idea could be
tabled for future consideration, as has
previously happened. Citing unnamed
people familiar with the matter, the
Journal said Apple began assessing the
pros and cons of making a cheaper
iPhone in 2009 and has periodically
revisited the notion. Apple Inc. declined
to comment to the Associated Press.
Apple so far has stuck with an
approach that has stamped the iPhone as
the gold standard, a device that warrants
a higher price than other smartphones.
Under this tack favored by Apples late
CEO, Steve Jobs, the company sells a
premium-priced iPhone that has been
updated annually with new features
since its 2007 debut.
In an attempt to appeal to more budg-
et-conscious consumers, Apple has been
selling older models of the iPhone at dis-
counts before phasing them out.
The latest iPhones start at $199 in the
U.S., but those prices are subsidized by
wireless carriers, which gure they can
make up the costs through monthly serv-
ice fees over the life of a two-year con-
tract.

Boeing defends 787 reliability; shares rally
Boeing said Wednesday it has extreme condence in its
787 Dreamliner even as federal investigators try to determine
the cause of a re that has prompted new worries about the
plane.
The re happened Monday in one of the planes lithium
ion batteries. Mike Sinnett, Boeings chief engineer for 787,
wouldnt comment on that specific incident, but told
reporters that the battery is designed to avoid overheating and
the area around the battery is designed to withstand a re.
But questions remain about the high-prole jet, which has
a lot riding on it both for Boeing and its airline customers.
After a nearly three-year delay, Boeing has delivered 49 of
the 787s so far, and has about 800 more on order.
Investors rallied behind the company Wednesday. Boeing
shares gained 3.2 percent to $76.47, after dropping 4.6 per-
cent the two previous days.
The Dreamliner has had a rough stretch. Besides Mondays
re aboard an empty Japan Airlines plane in Boston, a sepa-
rate JAL 787 experienced a fuel leak on Tuesday. And All
Nippon Airways cancelled a domestic 787 ight in Japan
Wednesday when a computer system indicated a problem
with the planes brakes.
Facing backlash, AIG
wont join lawsuit against U.S.
NEW YORK Afraid of looking like a world-class
ingrate, AIG on Wednesday decided against suing the feder-
al government over the $182 billion bailout that saved the
giant insurance company from collapse.
American International Group Inc. was put in the awk-
ward position of having to consider joining a lawsuit
brought against Uncle Sam by its former CEO, Maurice
Hank Greenberg.
The suit claims that the terms of the taxpayer-funded
bailout were too onerous. The government received a huge
stake in AIG when it bailed the company out at the height of
the 2008 nancial crisis. AIG has since paid all the money
back and notes that the government made a prot of $22.7
billion.
Tech delegation pressing
North Korea Internet openness
PYONGYANG, North Korea A private delegation
including Googles Eric Schmidt is urging North Korea to
allow more open Internet access and cellphones to benet its
citizens, the missions leader said Wednesday in the country
with some of the worlds tightest controls on information.
Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson also said his
nine-member group called on North Korea to put a moratori-
um on missile launches and nuclear tests that have prompted
U.N. sanctions, and the delegation asked for fair and humane
treatment for an American citizen detained. He spoke in an
exclusive interview in Pyongyang with the Associated Press.
The visit has been criticized for appearing to hijack U.S.
diplomacy and boost Pyongyangs profile after North
Koreas latest, widely condemned rocket launch.

Carlmont, Bearcats slip and slide to 2-2 draw
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Oh yes, its true nothing takes away the
bitter aftertaste of a sub-par performance in a
soccer league opener like a draw.
Wait, a draw?
Yes, by listening to Carlmont and San Mateo
head coaches Jodi Beloff and Chuck Callaghan
after Wednesdays wet 2-2 tie in Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division action, you get
the sense there was something bigger than just
a win or a loss at stake.
We came off a loss on Monday to Menlo-
Atherton and it was a totally different game
today, Beloff said. [We] played well, [we]
played much better than we played on Monday.
Thats what Im most proud of that we
bounced back from that loss and they were able
to come out and play soccer like they know
how to.
I was proud of the guys, Callaghan said. I
liked the way we played. We played much bet-
ter than we played against Hillsdale (a 1-1
draw). The effort was better. The ball control
was better. The ball movement was better. We
had a lot of opportunities.
Both teams had their fair share of chances in
a game where the weather, the goalkeepers
hands and their ability to limit rebound oppor-
tunities was a factor. At the end of the 80 min-
utes though, despite the outside factors, the
teams demonstrated why theyre both in the
conversation for the best in the league.
The Bearcats had to bounce back from one-
goal decits twice in the game to salvage the
draw their second in two games.
Ryan Onizuka was Wednesdays hero in the
70th minute when a ball put on net by
Alejandro Mendoza leaked over to him some
15 yards out and No. 9 ried a shot that deect-
ed off of a body in the penalty box and found
the back of the net for the equalizer.
I really felt they would come back,
Callaghan said of his team. And I actually
thought we would get that third goal. We had a
ball go off the bar but I thought we attacked
them pretty well.
San Mateo is absolutely going to be a force
to contend with this year, Beloff said. So
yeah, I expected a good game and it was played
well by both sides.

a Mitchell Jang header set Theo Fedronic loose

Second draw in two
games for Hillsdale
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Ties in soccer mean different things to dif-
ferent teams. For a team like a Burlingame, a
scoreless draw against Hillsdale is not what
the Panthers expected, while Hillsdale has to
be thrilled with the result.
The rain started falling minutes before the
Panthers and Knights kicked off Wednesday
afternoon in San Mateo and it affected both
teams in the 0-0 tie.
It was tough to control the ball, said
Burlingame coach Mike Sharabi. Credit to
Hillsdale. They played tough.
While both teams only receive one point in
the standings, the tie had to feel like a win for
Hillsdale coach Andy Hodzic, whose team
captured the Ocean Division title last season
and earned a promotion to the more competi-
tive Bay Division this season. On top of play-
ing tougher teams, Hodzic is having to do it
with seven sophomores on his squad.
Talent wise, its OK, Hodzic said. But the
physicalness is not there.
Burlingame (0-0-2 PAL Bay, 3-2-3 overall)
controlled most of the game through the mid-
eld, but the Panthers struggled in the nal
third of the eld as the Hillsdale defense
thwarted the Panthers attack at nearly every
turn. The Panthers had their chances, they just

Fresh start for Bearcats
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The non-league portion of the schedule was
downright mean to the San Mateo High
School girls basketball team.
Its a kind of mean that left the Bearcats at
3-9 heading into Wednesdays Peninsula
Athletic League South Division opener
against Mills.
So the 46-42, come-from-behind win for the
Bearcats represented more than just a victory
in the standings as superstar guard Alana
Simon put it, it was a fresh start for us.
Winning this game was huge, said
Simons head coach Nancy Dinges. Having a
long season, being 3-9, its tough for the kids.
Its tough for everybody.
We did a good job mental-
ly in this game of starting
as a fresh team.
The Bearcats did it the
hard way. Down 17-8 after
one quarter of basketball
to the Vikings, San Mateo
out-gunned Mills 38-25
the rest of the for the win.
And of course, it took an
outstanding performance by Simon and her 24
points for the Bearcats to open league play
with that freshly-baked, hot out of the oven
W.
All season, weve been talking to her and
saying, You have to control the game, and
today was the day she controlled every
moment of this game, Dinges said.
Preseason, I was a little frantic about how
we were going to look, but now Im pretty
condent in us, Simon said. I was feeling
good. I just had to get us back.
Simon took control of the game in the third
quarter, scoring 10 of her 24 points in that
eight-minute stretch.
Before then, Mills jumped out to a hot start.
The Vikings shot 7 of 11 in the rst quarter
and despite cooling off in the second (4 of 15),
they still led by as many as 11 points and by
six heading into halftime.
Four players on the Mills roster had six
points at the half.
We made adjustments in our offense,
Dinges said about her teams mentality head-
ing into recess down by just six. I think we
moved the ball a lot better in the second half.
I pointed out some key things that were open
at halftime. They executed it.
Simon said it had a little more to do with
desire.
They (my team) noticed that they wanted
it, nally, she said. We made more of our
shots, got our post involved more and that was
basically it.
San Mateo outscored the Vikings 15-6 in
third frame with Simons 10 leading the
charge.
I think she did a good job of controlling the
tempo, Dinges said. She did a good job of
controlling where people were going. She was
really communicating with her teammates. I
think she did a good job of not just controlling
herself but the team as well.
Angelica Petelo and Ofa Tuipulotu were
huge on the boards, especially in that second
half combining for 10 after just ve in the
rst two quarters. Part of the reason why Mills
built a nice lead in the rst half was because
San Mateo could not keep Bryana Sui (14
rebounds) off the boards. That wasnt the case

The Aragon boys basketball team took 44
shots, grabbed 32 rebounds and scored 38
points all in the rst half.
Needless to say, the Dons were ready for the
Peninsula Athletic League South Division
opener and Woodside was the unfortunate
recipient of a hot Aragon team as the Dons
went on to record a 70-59 win, during which
they led by as many 32 points.
Aragon is one of the top teams on the
Peninsula, said Woodside coach Doug
Fountain. They controlled the tempo.
I think [we] came ready (to play) but I
think [Aragons] physicality rocked us a little
bit, knocked us on our heels.
The game was all but over after the rst
quarter as Aragon (1-0 PAL South, 10-3 over-
all) exploded out of the gate. After Woodside
(0-1, 6-7) scored the rst basket of the game
on a driving layup from Ryan Blocker, the
Dons ran away from the Wildcats. Alex Manu,
who scored a team-high 16 points, tied the
score at 2 and then gave the Dons the lead for
good when he drained a 3-pointer.
Forward David Manoa gave an indication of
what kind of night it was going to be when he
scored a layup and was fouled after three
straight Aragon offensive rebounds. Manoa
missed that free throw but converted a three-
point play the next time down the court, giv-
ing the Dons a 10-2 lead less than four min-
utes into the game. Manoa nished with 13
points and 14 rebounds.
Hes working hard, said Aragon coach
Sam Manu of Manoa. Hes a difference
maker for us. We want to be a physical team
and he provides that for us.
Blocker, who nished with 13 points, hit
one of two free throws to briefly slow
Aragons roll, but the Dons came back with
back-to-back 3-pointers from Manu and
Kevin Hahn to ignite a 14-2 run to end the
quarter and lead 24-5.
Aragon accomplished all this with a poor
rst half from Nick Frankel, who managed
only a pair of free throws in the rst half. No
problem. Hahn came in and picked up the
slack, nishing with nine points.
Weve been waiting on Kevin Hahn all sea-
son, Manu said. In the rst half, Frankel
couldnt hit a barn. Kevin came in and picked
up the slack. We needed that.
We have a lot of shooters. If one misses,
the others can pick him up.
Woodside nally stabilized things in the
second quarter, but the damage had already
been done. Woodsides Mitchell Hickman,
who came in averaging about 25 points per
game, struggled with his shot in the rst half,
scoring just ve points. Aragons speed and
defensive pressure made it hard for Hickman
to get clean looks at the basket.
Manu said his team was not looking to shut
down Hickman specically, but he was aware
of what the Woodside sharpshooter can do.
We know they can shoot, Manu said.
Thats just the way we play (defense). We
just work our tails off.
Both teams scored 14 points in the second
quarter and Aragon enjoyed a 38-19 lead at
halftime.
Given the Dons domination, that 19-point
halftime advantage seemed much larger. So
when the Wildcats started the third quarter
with a 10-2 run, they were down just 11, 40-
29, with 4:38 left in the quarter.
They never believe theyre out of it,
Fountain said of his team. They always
believe they can come back.
Aragon, however, quickly squashed any
thought of Woodside making a game of it. A
Frankel 3-pointer halted Woodsides run and
fueled a 18-4 run to end the quarter and give
the Dons a 58-33 lead going into the nal
eight minutes. Frankel ended up scoring 12
points in the second half.
Woodside made a run against Aragons
third string, outscoring the Dons 26-12 in the
period. Hickman, despite his rst-half strug-
gles, scored 20 points in the second half to n-
ish with a game-high 25.
Aragon did a good job defending him (in
the rst half). He did a good job of guring it
out and nding ways to score (in the second
half), Fountain said.
Aragon basketball dominates in PAL opener
Lance Armstrong recently met with the head
of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to explore a
pathway to redemption, according to a report
Wednesday night on 60 Minutes Sports deal-
ing with the investigation that cost the cyclist
his Tour de France titles.
USADA CEO Travis Tygart, in an interview
that aired Wednesday night during the shows
premiere on Showtime, didnt discuss the
meeting on camera and provided no details,
including when it was held and where. The
only mention, with no elaboration, came at the
end of the segment.
Tygart didnt respond to messages left by the
Associated Press seeking comment.
The New York Times reported last week that
Armstrong and Tygart had been meeting about
a possible confession. Armstrongs attorney,
Tim Herman, denied the meetings had taken
place.
During the show, Tygart detailed his mission
to investigate Armstrong, calling the cyclists
refusal to help in the probe one of the lowest
days of this investigation, quite honestly.
We were disappointed he didnt come in
and be part of the solution, Tygart said.
Last October, USADA released a 200-page
report detailing the doping program Armstrong
ran. At the time, Tygart called it the most
sophisticated, professionalized and successful
doping program that sport has ever seen.
If Armstrong were to confess, there could be
legal consequences, involving past and present
civil cases and possibly perjury.
In addition to having his seven Tour de
France titles stripped, Armstrong was banned
for life from competing, which makes him inel-
igible for triathlons and other events sanctioned
by USADA or the World Anti-Doping Agency.
Armstrong seeks pathway to redemption
SPORTS 13
SANTA CLARA Even at less than full
strength, Justin Smiths presence on the San
Francisco defensive line is enough to instill
plenty of fear in opposing offenses.
Or even his own teammates, for that matter.
Running back Frank Gore endured his tough-
est training camp yet last summer while fac-
ing his defensive teammates each day
Smith, in particular.
Id take a 75 percent Justin ahead of any-
body, Gore said Wednesday. At 75-80 per-
cent, hes better than anybody at his position.
... Im not scared, haaa! But hes a beast,
man.
Smith is expected to return to the eld for
Saturday nights NFC divisional playoff game
against Green Bay (12-5) at Candlestick Park,
and, oh, how his teammates will welcome
back The Cowboy as they try to chase down
Aaron Rodgers and Co.
Smith, the soft-spoken emotional leader of
defensive coordinator Vic Fangios unit,
missed the nal two regular-season games
with a partially torn left triceps muscle. His
arm is now covered in a protective brace for
practice, and everybody involved expects him
to be ready to play for the NFC West champi-
ons (11-4-1).
Coach Jim Harbaugh put it this way
Wednesday: God willing and the creek dont
rise, he will play.
Having the extra week of rest was a huge
help for Smiths health. San Francisco secured
the NFCs No. 2 seed with a win against
Arizona and when Minnesota beat Green Bay
in Week 17.
It is the versatile Smith who makes this
defense go with his stingy pass-rushing
and run-stopping. Sure, theres Patrick Willis,
NaVorro Bowman, Aldon Smith. And a talent-
ed, playmaking secondary.
Smith is a smash-mouth footballer to the
core. The denition of the blue-collar player
Harbaugh so loves. Smith chips his teeth
about once a season thanks to a refusal to
wear a mouth guard because it restricts his
breathing.
Justin, his presence just back on the prac-
tice eld, I can tell you this, that theres a
character of our team thats enhanced, is driv-
en by Justin, Harbaugh said earlier in the
week. And thats the way I think of it. Thats
what I sense and feel when were out there on
the practice eld. And we look very much for-
ward to having him back in the lineup.
Until last month, Smith had started 185 con-
secutive games dating to his rookie season of
2001.
While the 49ers have praised Ricky Jean
Francois for his ne play lling in for Smith,
No. 94 is needed on the eld now as San
Francisco looks to get past last seasons dis-
appointing nish and nally return to the
Super Bowl. This team lost in overtime of the
NFC title game to the eventual champion
Giants, failing in its bid to reach the Super
Bowl for the rst time since the 1994 season.
Its a big lift, for the simple fact Justins a
Pro Bowler and to try to ll his shoes, theyre
big shoes to ll, linebacker Ahmad Brooks
said. He creates a lot of havoc for the back-
eld and draws a lot of double-teams.
Smith dominates the right side of the line
with his sheer physical strength and spot-on
instincts. He is probably the biggest reason
linebacker Aldon Smith nished with a fran-
chise-record 19 1/2 sacks this season
falling three shy of Michael Strahans single-
season mark set in 2001 for the Giants. Yet
Aldon Smith didnt have a single one over the
nal three games, most of that stretch with
Smith sidelined.
While the team doctors will have the nal
say, Smith will offer his input regarding his
health the player knows his body best,
Harbaugh said. And Smith has already said he
will be on the eld to face the Packers.
Well, hes told me hes ready, and hes
ready to go, and thats enough for me, Fangio
said. Hes a leader both by example and ver-
bally, and more so by example. He plays with
a tenacity and an effort level thats second to
none. And its just contagious to everybody.
Not that opposing coaches need to be told
what they have in store seeing Smith. And cer-
tainly not Packers coach Mike McCarthy,
whose Packers lost 30-22 in the season open-
er against San Francisco in September at
Lambeau Field.
Justin Smiths a very good football player,
McCarthy said. And were preparing for him
to play. Weve gone back far enough, theyve
got plenty of lm on him, and make sure
were ready.
The Cardinals regularly pounded the ball
toward Smiths spot when he was out for the
regular-season nale Dec. 30.
Hes a great leader not only for our defense
but for our whole team, left tackle Joe Staley
said. Its going to be big having him back out
there.
No matter that Smith doesnt own the ashy
numbers or statistics of the NFLs more well-
known defensive stars, some on his team.
Smith, who spent his rst seven NFL seasons
with Cincinnati before joining the 49ers as a
free agent in 2008, was picked as a starter for
this years Pro Bowl.

Warriors lose two straight
for first time in months
OAKLAND Zach Randolph had 19
points and 12 rebounds, Rudy Gay scored 18
points and the Memphis Grizzlies completed a
3-0 road trip with a 94-87 victory over the
Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.
Mike Conley added 16 points and Marc
Gasol finished with 12 points and nine
rebounds to help Memphis make its quick
West Coast swing more memorable. The
Grizzlies (23-10) also won at Phoenix on
Sunday and at Sacramento on Monday.
Stephen Curry scored 24 points and Klay
Thompson had 20 points, seven rebounds and
seven assists as the Warriors (22-12) lost back-
to-back games for only the second time this
season.
After falling behind by ve late in the fourth
quarter, Curry made a pull-up 3-pointer and
Thompson drew a fast-break foul to set up the
tying free throws. Gasol answered with a
reverse layup under heavy pressure, pumping
his st in celebration to give the Grizzlies the
lead again.
In the end, defense sealed the game for
Memphis.
Mike Conley stole David Lees pass before
getting fouled and making both free throws.
On the next possession, Jerryd Bayless
blocked Jarrett Jacks shot and that led to a
layup for Conley that gave the Grizzlies an 88-
82 lead with 1:51 remaining.
Lee followed with a jumper, but Gay
answered back with an 18-footer. Currys 3-
pointer brought the Warriors within three for a
moment before Randolph made two free
throws to nish off Golden State with 13.2
seconds left.
The Warriors were coming off their most
lopsided loss of the season, a 115-89 setback
at the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.
They fell to 9-2 after a loss this season.
The length of Randolph and Gasol gave
Golden State ts on both ends of the oor.
Memphis took advantage of several second-
chance opportunities and started to pull away
behind its big men in the second quarter. On
one play, Randolph grabbed two straight
offensive rebounds with Lee falling to the
oor before he nished a layup through a
crowd of defenders to highlight a 16-2 run to
put the Grizzlies up 45-32.
Two late 3-pointers and a reverse layup by
Curry eased a horrible defensive half for the
Warriors some. After shooting 54 percent
from the oor and going ahead by 14 points,
Memphis only led 55-46 at the break.
Golden State held the Grizzlies to 5 for 18
shooting in the third quarter, getting a spark
from Thompsons two 3s and Jacks aggres-
siveness. Jack got Tony Allen to jump on a
pump-fake and made a long jumper while get-
ting fouled to start a three-point play, and
Curry swished another from the perimeter to
tie the game at 74 midway through the fourth.
NOTES: The Grizzlies have won eight
straight against the Warriors, who last beat
Memphis on Nov. 3, 2010. ... Warriors C
Andrew Bogut did some light shooting and
jogging before the game. He has not played
since Nov. 7 while he recovers from the lin-
gering effects of microfracture surgery on his
left ankle. ... Grizzlies G Josh Selby was not
with the team for personal reasons. ...
Memphis beat the Warriors 104-94 in Golden
States home opener Nov. 2. ... Memphis
hosts San Antonio on Friday, while the
Warriors welcome Portland.

perfection, going to William Amayas left for
goal number one of the match.
San Mateo responded four minutes later on
a great Ezequiel Sandavol-Valerio cross that
found Ricardo Molinas head. No. 8s initial
header rung off the cross bar and took a fortu-
nate bounce back to where Molina could get a
head on it again that time, the ball cross the
goal line for the 1-1.
San Mateo had seven quality looks at goal
in the rst half to Carlmonts three. But it was
the Scots that retook the lead in the 56th
minute on a short corner turned score by Ross
Gofgon who turned chaos in the penalty box
into a 2-1 goal.
We made a mistake on that short corner,
Callaghan said. We should have sent two
guys out and thats something weve gone
over.
San Mateo responded with a wave of
offense and nally a Mendoza run down the
left side and up the end line turned into a qual-
ity chance that Onizuka took full advantage of
late in the game.
The tie leaves San Mateo with a 0-0-2
record while the Scots improve to 0-1-1.
When asked what her team would take from
Wednesdays game into the rematch later this
year in game that should mean a lot into deter-
mining the league champion, Beloff smiled
and said, Oh, thats a secret.

the Bearcats led by three.
The game nished frantically with Mills
pulling to within a point at 39-38, again at 41-
40 and one more time at 43-42 with 1:59 left

But Simon had a huge block down the

rebounds put No. 22 on the line to ice the
game with free throws to preserve the lead

in closets for these writers skeletons? No
drug use by any of these writers? No cheat-
ing ever in anything? Not a game of
cards, darts or on their signicant other? Im
sure there are plenty of BBWAA writers who
are as big of jerks as Bonds or Clemens are.
But no one is judging them.
Maybe its time the baseball Hall of Fame
re-examine how the vote is administered. The
Hall of Fame is the entity that decided the
BBWAA handles the vote. But right on the
baseball Hall of Fame website, it states part
of the goal of the hall is preserving the his-
tory of the game.
Arent Bonds and Clemens among the
greatest hitters and pitchers, respectively, to
play the game? Anyone watching baseball for
the last 25 years can easily draw that conclu-
sion. Apparently these writers cant.
It would be one thing is there were only a
handful of player who were accused and
caught using steroids. But that isnt the case.
The entire game was rife with performance-
enhancing drug use for a couple decades.
Much like the Dead Ball Era of the early
1900s and the Pitcher Era of the 1960s, base-
ball went through and is still in a
Steroid Era. Vote those who deserve to be in
based on their performance and let the record
reect they were playing during the Steroid
Era. That is the history of the game. That is
with what the writers should concern them-
selves.
Personally, I believe these writers hold per-
sonal vendettas against Bonds and Clemens.
But the question I ask is: how did their use of
PEDs affect your life? When baseballs were
ying out of stadiums at record pace, how
many of these writers began digging around
to see what was causing it? None. Much like
fans, baseball writers were just as infatuated
with the play on the eld.
Is it because they were duped into thinking
these players were putting up huge numbers
based on sheer athletic ability? Is it because
they feel these players made them feel silly?
The problem is, there are already players
voted into the Hall of Fame who do not pass
all criteria on which the vote is based. Ty
Cobb is in the Hall of Fame and by all
accounts, he was a raging racist. How does
that work with integrity, sportsmanship and
character criteria? Amphetamines were even
more rampant than steroids in the 1950s,
60s and 70s. How many of those players
are in the Hall of Fame?
This was the rst time since 1996 that no
players were voted into the Hall of Fame.
Given that the bulk of the players during the
Steroid Era are now starting to come up for
voting, it could be a long time before any
players is again voted into the Hall of Fame.
And how would that be preserving the his-
tory of the game?

Investor seeking to buy Kings
SEATTLE Investor Chris Hansen has
contacted the Maloof family about buying the
Sacramento Kings, setting up the possibility
of the NBAs return to Seattle.
Hansens interest was confirmed
Wednesday by people with knowledge of the
situation. They spoke on condition of
anonymity to The Associated Press because
no deal has been reached.
One person said the Kings could sell for
more than $500 million. The Kings future in
Sacramento has been uncertain because the
Maloofs and the city havent been able to
come up with a long-term arena solution.
Yahoo! Sports rst reported the discussions
between the Kings and Hansen. Yahoo!
reported a possible sale could land the Kings
in Seattle for the 2013-14 season where the
team would play at KeyArena as a temporary
home until a new arena is constructed.
I know as much as you do, Seattle Mayor
Mike McGinn said when asked about the situ-
ation. If its true, aint it cool?
Hansen, a Seattle native and San Francisco-
based investor, reached agreement with local
governments in Seattle last October on plans
to build a $490 million arena near the citys
other stadiums: CenturyLink Field and Safeco
Field. As part of the agreement, no construc-
tion will begin until all environmental reviews
are completed and a team has been secured.
Hansens group is expected to pitch in $290
million in private investment toward the arena,
along with helping to pay for transportation
improvements in the area around the stadi-
ums. The plans also call for the arena to be
able to handle a future NHL franchise. The
remaining $200 million in public nancing
would be paid back with rent money and
admissions taxes from the arena, and if that
money falls short, Hansen would be responsi-
ble for making up the rest. Other investors in
the proposed arena include Microsoft Chief
Executive Steve Ballmer and two members of
the Nordstrom department store family.
Hansens goal has been to return the
SuperSonics to the Puget Sound after they
were moved from Seattle to Oklahoma City in
2008. Asked in September if he could envision
a team being in Seattle for the 2013 season,
Hansen was cautious.
The NBA had no comment. Representatives
for Hansen did not return messages seeking
comment.

couldnt convert. In the rst half, Carson
Wong stole the ball from a Hillsdale defender
deep in Knights territory. He fed a short pass
to Tim Lutvaliyev in the Hillsdale penalty
box, but his shot was just wide of the far left
post. Minutes later, it was Wongs turn to
come agonizingly close, but his shot also was
just wide of the mark.
In the opening minute of the second half,
the Panthers had a golden opportunity slip
away. With the Hillsdale goalkeeper out of his
net and out of position, no one from the
Panthers could pull the trigger on the empty
net.
Someone has to be the hero, Sharabi said.
At some point, you have to have a forward
who is a little selsh and say, Im going to
put the team on my back. We just didnt n-
ish our chances.
Burlingame nished with 12 shots, but only
ve were on frame.
Hillsdale, on the other hand, managed only
ve shots, but the quality was a lot better. In
the 15th minute, Alex Golden received the
ball at the top of the Burlingame penalty box
with space, but his shot was wide of the target.
Nine minutes later, it appeared Hillsdale (0-0-
2, 2-2-3) took a 1-0 lead when Arie Pisarevsky
ran onto a perfect pass through the heart of the
Burlingame defense and slotted the shot
home, only to have the goal waved off when
everyone noticed the assistant referee had his
agged raised, signaling offside.
About 10 minutes into the second half,
Hillsdale had another opportunity go by the
board when Tony Elian took a pass from
Kevin Roberts and shrugged off a shoulder
challenge from a Burlingame defender. He
then touched the ball around the charging
goalkeeper, but it was too heavy and it rolled
harmlessly over the endline.
A few minutes later, Alexis Estrella took a
pass from Elian and went around the goalie,
but the Knights could not take advantage of
the empty net.
We played better than I expected, Hodzic
said. But I always want better.

No hall for Bonds, gets
only 36 percent of vote
NEW YORK No one was elected to the
Hall of Fame this year. When voters closed
the doors to Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and
Sammy Sosa, they also shut out everybody
else.
For only the second time in four decades,
baseball writers failed to give any player the
75 percent required for induction to
Cooperstown, sending a powerful signal that
stars of the Steroids Era will be held to a dif-
ferent standard.
All the awards and accomplishments col-
lected over long careers by Bonds, Clemens
and Sosa could not offset suspicions those
feats were boosted by performance-enhancing
drugs.
Voters also denied entry Wednesday to fel-
low newcomers Craig Biggio, Mike Piazza
and Curt Schilling, along with holdovers Jack
Morris, Jeff Bagwell and Lee Smith.
Among the most honored players of their
generation, these standouts wont nd their
images among the 300 bronze plaques on the
oak walls in Cooperstown, where at least
for now the doors appear to be bolted shut
on anyone tainted by PEDs.
After what has been written and said over
the last few years Im not overly surprised,
Clemens said in a statement he posted on
Twitter.
Bonds, Clemens and Sosa retired after the
2007 season. They were eligible for the Hall
for the rst time and have up to 14 more years
on the writers ballot.
Curt Schilling made a good point, every-
one was guilty. Either you used PEDs, or you
did nothing to stop their use, Hall of Famer
Mike Schmidt said in an email to The
Associated Press after this years vote was
announced. This generation got rich. Seems
there was a price to pay.
Biggio, 20th on the career list with 3,060
hits, appeared on 68.2 percent of the 569 bal-
lots, the highest total but 39 votes shy. The
three newcomers with the highest proles
failed to come close to even majority support,
with Clemens at 37.6 percent, Bonds at 36.2
and Sosa at 12.5.
Other top vote-getters were Morris (67.7),
Jeff Bagwell (59.6), Piazza (57.8), Tim Raines
(52.2), Lee Smith (47.8) and Schilling (38.8).
Im kind of glad that nobody got in this
year, Hall of Famer Al Kaline said. I feel
honored to be in the Hall of Fame. And I
wouldve felt a little uneasy sitting up there on
the stage, listening to some of these new guys
talk about how great they were. ... I dont
know how great some of these players up for
election wouldve been without drugs. But to
me, its cheating.
At ceremonies in Cooperstown on July 28,
the only inductees will be three men who died
more than 70 years ago: Yankees owner Jacob
Ruppert, umpire Hank ODay and barehanded
catcher Deacon White. They were chosen last
month by the 16-member panel considering
individuals from the era before integration in
1947.
It is a dark day, said Jose Canseco, the
former AL MVP who was among the rst
players to admit using steroids. I think the
players should organize some type of lawsuit
against major league baseball or the writers.
Its ridiculous. Most of these players really
have no evidence against them. Theyve never
tested positive or theyve cleared themselves
like Roger Clemens.
It was the eighth time the BBWAA failed to
elect any players. There were four fewer votes
than last year and ve members submitted
blank ballots.
With 53 percent you can get to the White
House, but you cant get to Cooperstown,
BBWAA secretary-treasurer Jack OConnell
said. Its the 75 percent that makes it dif-
cult.
There have been calls for the voting to be
taken away from the writers and be given to a
more diverse electorate that would include
players and broadcasters. The Hall says it is
content with the process, which began in
1936.
It takes time for history to sort itself out,
and Im not surprised we had a shutout today,
Hall President Jeff Idelson said. I wish we
had an electee. I will say that, but Im not sur-
prised given how volatile this era has been in
terms of assessing the qualities and the quan-
tities of the statistics and the impact on the
game these players have had.
Bonds, baseballs only seven-time Most
Valuable Player, hit 762 home runs, including
a record 73 in 2001. He was indicted on
charges he lied to a grand jury in 2003 when
he denied using PEDs but a jury two years ago
failed to reach a verdict on three counts he
made false statements and convicted him on
one obstruction of justice count, nding he
gave an evasive answer.
It is unimaginable that the best player to
ever play the game would not be a unanimous
rst-ballot selection, said Jeff Borris of the
Beverly Hills Sports Council, Bonds long-
time agent.

As the season of snow boots and slush
arrives in much of the country, entryway
oors will take a beating.
The spot where we enter our homes
and welcome guests can be a tricky
one to decorate. Its meant to be a show-
case, expressing our style and setting the
tone for a visitors stay. But the oor
must withstand dripping umbrellas,
muddy shoes and more.
Los Angeles-based interior designer
Betsy Burnham is often approached by
clients who want help with entryways.
Choosing a oor covering is a priority,
she says.
Here Burnham and two other experts
offer tips on durable, easy-to-clean
ooring that doesnt skimp on style,
from cork to porcelain tile to washable
rugs.
THINK REPLACEABLE
Burnham and designer Brian Patrick
Flynn, founder of decordemon.com, are
fans of cork flooring in high-traffic
areas.
Cork squares are durable, made from
natural wood fibers and can handle
moisture. They also absorb sound well
and come in a variety of colors and pat-
terns. Dont just picture a bulletin
board when you think of cork,
Burnham says.
Cork offers a look similar to hard-
wood, but is less expensive. And you can
replace just one tile if a section gets
damaged.
Another exible option is FLOR car-
pet tiles, Flynn says. You can add color,
texture or pattern by laying them out in
the desired pattern, he says, then cut-
ting the end tiles to size. FLOR tiles can
be laid out to give the look of an area rug
or wall-to-wall carpeting.
Flynn also recommends vinyl plank
tiles. These inexpensive tiles are thin but
durable, and easy to install. They can be
mopped clean. And do-it-yourself instal-
lation is simple, Flynn says. It simply
requires a utility knife for installation.
The planks attach to one another with an
upward-facing sticky strip. Each time a
plank reaches a wall, its cut to size, he
says.
THINK REMOVABLE
Rugs can be a great way to delineate
the space at an entryway, and many
styles are washable. Ive done every-
thing from rag rugs to Turkish carpets
in entryways, Burnham says.
Rather than investing in one expensive
rug, she says, buy several that can be
swapped out when one is being cleaned.
Meg Caswell, host of HGTVs Megs
Great Rooms, suggests shopping for
carpet remnants. Carpet stores often
keep their remnants out of sight, she
says, but if you ask they should direct
you to them. If you nd a remnant piece
you want, have it cut to size. You can ask
to have it banded with a canvas edge in a
contrasting color, Caswell says, or in a
patterned fabric youve chosen (check
the remnants at fabric stores for afford-
able nds and bring the fabric with you
to the carpet store).
By using a remnant, youve created a
custom piece with little expense. If its
damaged by foot trafc over the course
of a few winters, the loss will be mini-
mal.
Stylish but inexpensive and washable
rugs are widely available online, from
Ikea.com to eBay.com or Etsy.com. If
you nd a style you like at a great price,
these designers recommend buying two
so youll have a backup.
Another approach that Flynn and
Entryway floors fit for winter
Woodworkers praise the
many faces of plywood
By Jennifer Forker
The home-improvement and design shows make it look
easy: Take a simple sheet of inexpensive plywood and presto!
In a few minutes, youve got a table, a cabinet or a lounge
chair.
Its not that fast or dirt-cheap, but it can be that easy, accord-
ing to woodworking experts who speak fondly of plywoods
many merits.
Plywood is the starting point for many of the things I
build, says artist and designer Jimmy DiResta of New York
City. With some imagination and inventiveness it can become
anything.
Plywood is cheaper and often stronger than solid wood, easy
to nd at home-improvement or lumber stores, and darn it
it looks good.
Plywood is made from thin layers called plies, or veneers
glued together under heat and pressure, with each ply laid
perpendicular to the next. This cross-graining gives plywood
its strength and stability, says Philip Schmidt, author of
PlyDesign (Storey Publishing, 2012).
Since plywood comes in more than a dozen standard thick-
nesses and twice as many grades, check a buying guide
Home Depot has one online before purchasing it. Schmidt
recommends using a cabinet-grade material, such as Baltic
birch, for do-it-yourself projects. The plies are thin and even,
and the exterior is smooth, sanded and blemish-free.
Beluga caviar notwithstanding, Baltic birch plywood may
be Russias nest export, Schmidt writes in his book.
PlyDesign includes 73 projects for novices and experi-
enced builders. Do-it-yourself project magazines such as
Ready Made and Make, and online sites such as Instructables
offer many other ways to use plywood.
Plywood is inherently modern, if you think of modern as
starting in the 1920s, says Schmidt, of Denver. Its still beau-
tiful wood . and its really easy to work with.
See PLYWOOD, Page 18
Whatever material you use for your entryway oors, designers suggest avoiding pale neutrals and solids in favor of slightly
bolder colors, patterns and textures that hide dirt and signs of wear.

A jigsaw can cut straight lines and curves,
so thats your primary tool, says Schmidt.
After that, invest in a good-quality drill. If
you want to go deeper into plywood DIY, get
a circular saw and a router, which helps cut
out multiple pattern pieces.
I dont own a table saw or any stationary
power tools, says Schmidt, a project design-
er and author of 17 design books. Im more
into DIY.
DiResta recommends the jigsaw and circu-
lar saw for most plywood projects, and sug-
gests starting out by building a storage box or
simple bench. He offers video tutorials on
YouTube, sponsored by Make magazine.
Plywood has its drawbacks. Schmidt warns
against sand-papering through the thin top
layer, ruining the look of your piece. To avoid
this, use a ne-grit sandpaper, and be careful.
DiResta warns against splinters. A few
years ago, he inadvertently brushed a palm
against a cut edge, and a matchstick-size
splinter went through his palm. He recom-
mends wearing gloves when cutting plywood,
and sanding cut edges with a sanding block.
Then theres the edge thing, as Schmidt
calls it: Do you cover the exposed plywood
edge or let it be?
Design will dictate, both DiResta and
Schmidt say. Some modern-looking pieces
look great with their plywood edges exposed,
and the better quality the plywood, the better
itll look. For other projects, you may want to
cover that edge with veneer.
Exposing the edge strata of the panel is
really cool, says Schmidt. Its a nice design
element that you can work with.
For some, a project is too delicate or the
plywood too high-end to entrust the cutting to
ones own hand. If that happens, nd a local
furniture-design business to cut the piece for
you. They use computer-controlled routers
that make precise cuts.
Denver furniture maker Scott Bennett
works with birch-and-alder plywood to make
storage and shelving pieces for his company,
Housesh. Occasionally, hes asked to cut a
one-off piece for a designer or DIY enthusi-
ast.
The cost is less than most people expect, he
says, averaging about $100 per hour of work.
Considering how many hours you might
spend trying to cut a complicated shape with
hand tools . spending a couple hundred dol-
lars to have a computer cut out your parts can
be a good way to get into DIY projects,
Bennett says.
He recommends investigating the online
site Ponoko, which provides laser-cutting
services, but says most cities will have a few
businesses that can handle an outside preci-
sion-cutting job.
PLYWOOD
Burnham recommend: Buy a vintage rug
thats already worn. Faded colors and frayed
spots are part of the charm, so you wont mind
if further wear-and-tear happens.
If youd prefer the nished look of wall-to-
wall carpeting at your entrance, Flynn sug-
gests buying several smaller rugs and attach-
ing them underneath with carpet tape. The
edges can be cut to t your space, giving a
permanent, wall-to-wall look. But pieces can
be removed for cleaning.
Think Durable
Caswell often recommends porcelain tiles
for high-trafc entryways. The minute I say
porcelain tile, people think its going to shat-
ter, that its fragile, she says. But really
porcelain tiles are truly the most durable tiles
out there.
Theyre nearly impossible to chip,
Caswell says. But the best part is that if it
does chip, the color is all the way through the
entire piece.
Burnham agrees: Porcelain tile, she says,
looks like stone, but its much less expensive
than actual stone. Weve done charcoal-gray,
big rectangles of porcelain tile, and its so
much easier to sweep out or mop up because
you can get it wet.
THINK BOLD
Whatever material you use for your entry-
way oors, these designers suggest avoiding
pale neutrals and solids in favor of slightly
bolder colors, patterns and textures that hide
dirt and signs of wear.
For wood oors, Flynn suggests, have a
pattern painted directly onto it using porch
and deck paint, he says. The porch and deck
paint is insanely durable and will last a long
time. To make it even more foolproof, consid-
er adding another coat of sealer to it just
before the winter.
Bold orals or sunbursts might not be your
taste, says Caswell, but entryways are a great
place to be riskier and push yourself, so you
can incorporate a little more of your personal-
ity. Youre making that statement when some-
one enters your home.

wore T-shirts that read I support Draper
University.
One wearing a shirt was Alicia Petrakis, co-
owner and chef at Astaria, a restaurant that is
housed in the old hotel.
Astaria has been given a new lease by
Draper and will provide breakfast for its stu-
dents.
The Benjamin Franklin has languished for
years, Petrakis told the commission, and
would have been a hotel by now if it were
meant to be.
The university could help boost business
for the Third Avenue corridor at El Camino
Real, Petrakis said.
While commissioners generally approved
plans for the hotel and former bank, much of
the discussion centered on the iconic
Collective building since it will be converted
from retail uses to more of an ofce or school
setting.
Ken Wilson, the universitys head of devel-
opment, showed the commission new render-
ings for the Collective building that featured
two pop-up retail sites but commissioners
said it was not enough.
Wilson then told the commission the uni-
versity could accommodate more retail uses
in the building as the discussion next turned
to how to make the Collective building a visu-
ally engaging, active storefront to t in with
the character of other downtown businesses.
The city recently relaxed its retail require-
ments for downtown frontages and Draper is
seeking an exemption from some of those
requirements to accommodate a school cam-
pus.
When Draper won the hotel for $6 million
in a Dutch auction two years ago he had no
idea what his plans would be for the building,
he told the commission Tuesday night.
It was my sons idea, Draper said.
The trial period worked well over summer,
he said.
The pilot worked well. The students lit the
place up, Draper said. We love San Mateo
and we hope it loves us.
One of the universitys first students,
Surbhi Sarna, has already secured $2.4 mil-
lion in venture capital funding after winning
the business pitch competition at the end of
the pilot. Sarna founded nVision, an early-
stage, venture-backed medical device compa-
ny dedicated to building a portfolio of propri-
etary technologies to ll the void in female
health-related innovation.
She told her story to the commission last
night to highlight the benets the school will
have on the region.
While parking has dominated much of the
discussion leading to now, the university has
pledged that none of its students will be
allowed to bring cars to the campus.
About 180 students at a time are expected
to attend the university.
The volume of students worries some in the
Baywood neighborhood who fear their valu-
able residential parking will be taken by stu-
dents who cannot nd parking downtown.
It is unrealistic to assume students will not
have cars, Shirley Melincoe told the com-
mission Tuesday night.
She suggested the university nd dedicated
parking downtown such as the former
Kinkos site on Fifth Avenue and Claremont
Street.
The university will become a catalyst for
economic development and growth in San
Mateo, the universitys Chief Operating
Ofcer Carol Lo said.
Plans include turning the old antiques
building on into the Collective Entrepreneurs
Club, which will be a exible co-working
space that offers collaborative peer-to-peer
workspaces for entrepreneurs on daily, week-
ly, monthly and annual membership terms.
The Collective will also feature retail pop-
up stores that can be rented short term and a
large multi-purpose event space that can be
rented out on evenings and weekends for
events such as art shows, jazz concerts, cor-
porate events and meetings when not in use
by staff or students with the Draper
University of Heroes located at the former
Benjamin Franklin Hotel at 44 E. Third Ave.
The Benjamin Franklin sign on the top of
the hotel is proposed to be painted over
although some of the commissioners want to
see it stay.
Draper is the founder of the venture capital
firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson and funded
Hotmail, Skype and Baidu in their infancies.

SUBURBAN LIVING 19
By Melissa Rayworth
Getting a family organized
requires more than a few well-cho-
sen New Years resolutions.
Increasingly, homeowners are carv-
ing out a physical space anything
from a single kitchen cabinet to an
entire spare room that can func-
tion as a family information center
and workstation.
In an effort to battle clutter and
keep track of schedules, designer
Brian Patrick Flynn helps clients
kick the habit of spreading out items
around their homes.
These days, its pretty much a
given that families use their kitchen
islands, dining tables and/or coffee
tables as prime real estate for lap-
tops, school papers, iPhones and
mail, says Flynn, founder and edi-
tor of decordemon.com.
When Im designing entire
homes, especially ones for young
families, the rst thing I focus on is
locating a seldom-used corner, sec-
tion or nook somewhere easily
accessible to create a creative and
organizational hub. This usually fol-
lows my tirade of, No more using
the dining table or breakfast nook as
a clutter station!
Here, Flynn and two other interior
designers offer tips on creating the
perfect family headquarters to wran-
gle homework assignments, invita-
tions, permission slips, calendars
and more.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
The key pieces are:
a calendar (paper, digital or both)
that the whole family can access;
accessible storage space for
incoming mail, invitations and per-
mission slips where things wont get
forgotten;
a message board (dry-erase
white boards and/or corkboards are
popular) where family members can
post and share information;
a labeled bin or section of cork-
board space assigned to each family
member; and
a power strip for charging elec-
tronic devices, with shelf or desk
space to keep those items while
charging
Ideally, the space will also include
a work surface where kids can do
homework and parents can handle
tasks like filling out permission
slips. Many families also include a
laptop or desktop computer for
homework or checking e-mail. If
you have a computer handy, youre
more likely to enter information dig-
itally and eliminate paper clutter.
WHERE TO PUT IT?
Homes built in the past few years
often come with what Flynn calls a
bonus room with no designated
purpose. These small, spare rooms
work well as a family organization
center, as do mudrooms.
Atlanta-based designer Mallory
Mathison has helped clients con-
vert a pantry or small closet into an
organizational hub. She suggests
removing the doors to open up the
space, then adding a deep shelf that
can be used as a desktop. Tack fab-
ric to the underside of the shelf and
hem it just above the floor, creating
hidden storage space and a place to
tuck a bench or stool.
Shelves can be added to the wall
above the desktop, along with a
message board and calendar.
If you lack a spare room or closet,
designer Cortney Novogratz sug-
gests choosing one corner of your
kitchen, since its a room the entire
family uses daily. Novogratz, co-star
of HGTVs Home by Novogratz
series, lives in Manhattan with her
husband and seven children. She
often works with clients who have
limited space, so she advises them to
use a single kitchen cabinet as their
organizational hub.
Novogratz suggests lining the cab-
inet door with the calendar and cork-
board or dry-erase board. Then add
small bins on the cabinet shelves for
each family members items. A
small laptop can be kept inside the
cabinet and taken out for use at the
kitchen table.
For additional storage, she sug-
gests buying a rolling cart with
labeled drawers where each child in
the family can keep things like pend-
ing work or art supplies. This can be
wheeled around the kitchen or other
rooms as needed. Novogratz says it
helps kids stay organized and feel a
sense of ownership over their work
when they have a permanent space
for it, even if its just a labeled draw-
er.
WHAT FURNITURE
DO YOU NEED?
The costliest option is hiring a car-
penter to install a built-in, custom
workstation with a desktop, shelving
and closed storage.
Flynn suggests a cheaper alterna-
tive: Buy two kitchen cabinets from
a big-box home improvement store,
and two pre-fab bookcases.
Assemble the cabinets, then the
bookcases and stack them directly
on top of the base cabinets. Mount
them to the wall and add some basic
molding to the front edges, creating
the look of custom built-ins, but for
only a few hundred bucks.
To save even more, he suggests
plundering the rest of your home in
search of old furniture. I recently
took one hot mess of a bonus room,
which was used for checking email,
working on art projects and keeping
kids artwork and les stored, then
turned it into a colorful, designer-
caliber multipurpose space using
100 percent leftover pieces from
other rooms, he says.
He placed two old dressers next to
each other, using their surfaces as a
place to collect mail and pending
paperwork. He outtted the dresser
drawers with a hanging le system,
then brought in an old table and
chairs from a childs playroom.
You can make just about any-
thing work together, as long as dis-
parate pieces are united with the
proper color story. In my case, I
gathered white, brown, gray and
blue pieces, then set them all against
a re-engine-red backdrop.
Another option: If space is limit-
ed, Mathison suggests searching
estate sales (or your own attic) for
one large piece of furniture like a
wooden secretary, which has a desk-
top and a mix of open and closed
storage. Refinish it with several
coats of glossy paint and, if neces-
sary, drill holes in the back for
power cords.
HOW DO YOU MAKE IT WORK?
Even the best system wont work
unless you use it. Flynn says beauti-
ful, bright colors can help draw you
to your organizational space, and
successful homework projects and
tests can be posted alongside your
kids artwork for added inspiration.
Plan the space carefully based on
your needs do older kids need
extra space for doing homework?
Are you juggling lots of appoint-
ments and need to make your calen-
dar the centerpiece? Novogratz sug-
gests hanging up a family calendar
and business calendar together so
you can mark things on both, and
kids can see when youll be busy
with work commitments.
If scheduling is key, post pending
items like permission slips and invi-
tations in a prominent spot or keep
them in an in-box that youll check
regularly.
Create an organization hub at home
Creating the perfect family headquarters to wrangle homework assignments, invitations, permission slips,
calendars and more is easier than you may think.

York Federal Court against two former
UBS traders.
As a result of the manipulation,
many California public entities and
investors may have received reduced
interest payments on interest rate
swaps, corporate bonds and other
investments tied to the LIBOR rate,
according to law rm Cotchett, Pitre &
McCarthy, which represents each
plaintiff.
All the defendants saw when they
made the decision to deceive the public
and to take part in this rate manipula-
tion conspiracy was their own bottom
line with no regard for the victim, the
suit states.
The other parties include San Diego
County, the cities of Richmond and
Riverside, the Richmond Joint Powers
Financing Authority, the East Bay
Municipal Utility District and the
Riverside Public Financing Authority.
The other defendants include Bank of
America Corporation, Bank of Tokyo-
Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd., Citigroup, Inc.,
Citibank, Rabobank, Credit Suisse
Group AG, Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC
Holdings, HSBC Holdings, JSBC
Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co.,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, Lloyds
Banking Group, HBOS, Royal Bank of
Canada, The Norinchukin Bank,
Societe Generale, The Royal Bank of
Scotland Group, WestLB AG and
Westdeutsche Immobilienbank AG.
The manipulation is just another
outrageous example of how self-regu-
lated nancial markets take advantage
of average hard-working people and
Main Street public entities, said
County Council John Beiers in a pre-
BANKS
sion of guilt, Carr said.
The case remains unresolved even
to me and the family, Carr said.
Watterworth was charged with 12
felonies, including four counts of lewd
acts on a child under 14 by fear or
force, three counts of child molesta-
tion, oral copulation, two counts of
threatening a witness and two counts
of committing continuous sexual
molestation. The last charge carried a
potential life sentence.
He pleaded not guilty in December.
Watterworth was arrested after a rela-
tive contacted Millbrae about suspi-
cions of abuse. According to prosecu-
tors, Watterworth abused his wifes 12-
year-old daughters after meeting the
woman online in 2009 and bringing
the family over from the Philippines.
He posted $1 million bail shortly
after his arrest.

tives sales and income tax increases
are expected to generate $6 billion a
year.
But he also said this week that 2013
is the year of scal discipline and liv-
ing within our means, and Im going to
make sure that happens.
The states nonpartisan legislative
analyst has pegged the 2013-14 budg-
et decit at $1.9 billion, a vast turn-
around from the double-digit decits of
the last several years. The Legislature
is required by law to approve a bal-
anced budget by June 15, which will
still force lawmakers to cut some areas
of spending to close the decit.
Brown is likely to face some of his
biggest challenges this year from fel-
low Democrats, who now hold two-
thirds majorities in the Assembly and
Senate and are eager to restore spend-
ing to a host of programs after years of
cuts. Brown is more scally conserva-
tive than many Democratic lawmakers,
favoring restoring school funding and
building a robust rainy day fund over
expanding services.
People want to have more child
care, they want to have more people
locked up, they want to have more
rehab, more, more, more. More judges,
more courtrooms. We have to live
within reasonable limits, Brown said
in a Capitol news conference this
week.
The legislative analysts ofce has
projected that the state will spend
nearly $56 billion of a $94 billion
general fund budget on education in the
2013-14 scal year, about $2 billion
more than last year. That money comes
partly through a voter-approved educa-
tion funding guarantee that requires the
state to spend more on schools when
tax revenue rises.
You can take this to the bank: Were
not going to spend money that we
cant afford to spend, Brown said.
We have to do more with less; thats
just the way life is.
Like Brown, the analysts ofce has
also cautioned that the states rosy
forecast is dependent upon maintain-
ing the strict spending limits of the
past few years.
Still, the added revenue from the
voter-approved tax increases allow the
governor and lawmakers to begin to
tinker with school funding formulas,
which Brown is expected to address in
his budget.
His administration advocates scrap-
ping a series of dedicated funds aimed
at addressing specic issues. Instead,
he favors freeing school districts to
spend that money in areas they deem
most important.
Browns proposed school formula
also is intended to target spending to
the neediest students, which is likely
to draw opposition from parents and
teachers in more prosperous areas.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said he is
open to Browns school funding pro-
posal. He said the goal is laudable, but
there will be a lot of details to work
out.
How do you make sure, without
micromanaging, that the kids that
need help the most get the help that
they need? Steinberg said. How do
you make sure that the proven
approaches to improving student
achievement and helping kids graduate
are funded?
The legislative analyst projected
last fall that the states overall general
fund spending would be about $94 bil-
lion, nearly 8 percent more than in
2012. Californias general fund spend-
ing hit a high of $103 billion during
the 2007-08 budget, the year the reces-
sion began, falling to a low of $87 bil-
lion in the 2011-12 scal year.
Still, some expenses will grow in
the short term, although the analyst
said they are likely to be outpaced by
higher revenue in the long term. For

THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 2013
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even though you
mean well, back off if a friend starts hinting that
youre being too inquisitive. You pal is anxious to
confde in you, but must do so in his or her own
good time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- In order to gain
the cooperation of a friend, you must frst show
willingness to compromise. You need to be able to
bend a little, or youll never get what you want.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A failure on your part
to appreciate an associates point of view could create
some severe friction between the two of you. Make it
a point to see things from another point of view.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- This is not a day to
make an impulsive gamble, even if you think it
would expedite matters for you. It wont. Stick to the
straight and narrow, even if it takes more time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- As long as you
dont make negative assumptions, some pleasant
experiences can be in the offng. Conversely, if you
anticipate having a bum time, thats whats going to
happen.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Attitude is everything,
especially where your career or work is concerned.
Whatever you do, dont make your responsibilities
more diffcult than they really are.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Its especially
important that you dont make any purchases -- be
they big or small -- rashly. Check all available sources
before spending your money on a big-ticket item.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The chances that youll
fulfll a personal ambition are pretty good, but you
must make sure that you dont handle things in a self-
serving fashion, which would ruffe a few feathers.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Unless you openly
discuss things that have bugged you lately, they
could fester in your brainpan. Instead of suffering in
silence, expose what ails you to the light of day.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Money matters could
be a mixed bag for you at present. Although you are
likely to make a wrong move thatll cost you money,
youll have a chance to rectify it later, if youre smart
enough.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Provided that
associates feel youre not trying to manipulate them,
theyll be willing to consider your directives. To be
on the safe side, explain your intentions before you
implement them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When you allow
your emotions to override your sound logic, you
become vulnerable to repeating past errors. Dont
fail to learn from experience.
