County urges veto SCENE OF RECOVERY

on local hire policy
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A San Francisco plan to hire half
of its construction workforce on city
projects solely from residents is
misguided and threatens to hurt the
already sluggish economy of the
entire region, according to San
Mateo County supervisors.
“This is not the time to put isola-
tion around a community,” said
Supervisor Carole Groom.
Groom co-authored a resolution
calling on San Francisco Mayor
Gavin Newsom to veto the so-called
local hire legislation passed last
Tuesday 8-3 by the San Francisco
Board of Supervisors.
At a hastily called special session
Tuesday, the San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors adopted the
resolution and remarked that the
Bay Area should be working togeth-
er rather than setting up barriers to
employment.
“If this is rejected, it would be
time for all of us to sit down and talk
about this,” said Supervisor
Adrienne Tissier.
The policy phases in the require-
ments, beginning with 20 percent
the first year and ramping up to 50
percent within seven years.
Newsom has until Dec. 24 to
either sign or veto the law, although
that could still be overridden. A
Newsom spokeswoman said the
mayor “understands San Mateo
County’s concerns” but offered no
further insight into his leanings.
Although the policy affects the
construction workforce of the
greater Bay Area, local officials say
it particularly impacts San Mateo
County because of a 70-mile provi-
sion that encompasses projects at
the San Bruno jail, the Hetch
Hetchy water system and San
Francisco International Airport.
Current labor agreements provide
protection now but any tweaks or
new contracts would kick in the
local hire policy, Tissier said.
Making San Francisco workers
travel to those projects flies in the
face of the environmental protec-
tions the policy argues for, accord-
ing to San Mateo County supervi-
sors.
Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson
said she isn’t automatically opposed
to local hiring policies; while on the
East Palo Alto City Council the city
adopted one to help it establish eco-
nomic viability.
But the ratio was nowhere near 50
percent and the radius of impact
didn’t extend past the city.
Both, Jacobs Gibson said, are
“absolutely absurd.”
The San Francisco policy further
burdens construction apprentices
looking for work experience, said
Victor Torreano, vice president of
the San Mateo County Building
Trades Council.
Construction is already nomadic

Nonprofits give out food and toy donations
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Two-year-old Adrian Mendoza was
overwhelmed Tuesday morning
standing amongst piles and piles of
toys inside the Burlingame United
Methodist Church.
First he set his eye on a plastic-
looking suitcase full of fake food, fol-
lowed by a colorful bowling set. The
latter of the two options retained his
attention. Adrian got his mother’s
attention and she decided to pick it up
to take home.
“He’s overwhelmed,” Imelda
Mendoza said of her son’s desire to
look around in the toy area.
The Mendoza family was one of
250 that received food and toys from
CALL Primrose, a Burlingame non-

Executive Director Mary Watt noted
an increase in need during recent
years. Though the amount regular
donors have been able to give has
gone down a bit, CALL Primrose has
seen a few new donors pop up during
the tougher time.
Yesterday, all receiving help were

keep healthy.
Distribution began in the morning
with a line from 139 Primrose Road in
Burlingame to the corner of Howard
Avenue staying steady by 10 a.m. The
nippy weather wasn’t a deterrent.
People knew the center is small inside
and only one to two clients could fit if
everyone was to get their food.
Inside was a well-oiled machine.
People came in one at a time giving
their name and getting an envelope
from Watt. Those with teenagers were
given gift cards. People with children
were able to visit the church next door
and select gifts for their little ones.
Everyone was given a variety of

people a stocking of toiletries and a

California braces for next wave of heavy rain

By Gillian Flaccus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — If six days of
pounding rain wasn’t enough to
dampen holiday spirits, a seventh
could prove to be downright danger-
ous.
Forecasters expected heavy rains
across California going into
Wednesday, and authorities began
evacuations late Tuesday as concern
grew about potential mudslides in
the wildfire-scarred foothills across
the southern part of the state.
Officials ordered evacuation of
232 homes in La Canada Flintridge
and La Crescenta, foothill suburbs
of Los Angeles, because of forecasts
of more heavy rains on already sat-
urated mountainsides.
San Diego police also ordered
evacuations of about a dozen homes
in the city’s Carmel Valley area and
a commuter rail station in Sorrento
Valley because of heavy rains, but
no damage was reported, police
spokeswoman Lt. Andra Brown
said.
A mudslide closed one street in
the La Jolla area of San Diego.
Other inconveniences have so far
been relatively minor: Rescuers had
to pluck some stranded motorists
from rain-swollen creeks. Shoppers
dodged puddles while buying last-
minute Christmas gifts. Disney
resorts canceled a plan to shower
visitors with artificial snow.
“We’ll keep our fingers crossed,
but the more rain that comes, the
possibility of mudslides is definitely
real,” said Jim Amormino,
spokesman for the Orange County
sheriff’s office, which has rescued
nine people from the flooding in the
past 24 hours.
“We’ve been lucky so far, but I’m
not sure how much longer the luck
will hold out,” he said.
For all the perils of the torrential
rains, there was a silver lining: The
water is expected to help ease the
effects of years of drought.
Thursday is expected to be dry, with
sunshine. There will be light rain on
Christmas Day in parts of
California.
The immediate concern, however,
was the impact of the expected
downpours, particularly in areas
where wildfires stripped hillsides of
the vegetation that keeps soil in
place and burns up dead leaves and
other debris that act like a sponge.
Downtown Los Angeles received
one-third of its annual average rain-
fall in less than a week. As of mid-
morning Tuesday, the rain gauge at
the University of Southern
California campus recorded 5.77
inches. Forecasters said another 2
inches was expected there through
Wednesday.
Up to two inches of rain per hour
was expected in areas primed for a
major mudslide by last year’s wild-
fire in suburbs just north of the city.
The storm was expected to drop a
total of 10 1/2 to 15 1/2 feet of snow
at Mammoth Mountain, about five
hours northeast of Los Angeles in
the Eastern Sierras, capping off
what’s already made record books
as the December ever at the ski
resort.
Mudslides are a significant risk
for three years after a fire and are
especially likely anytime the rainfall
rate reaches or exceeds one inch per
hour, said Susan Cannon, a research
geologist with the U.S. Geological
Survey.
That’s a likely scenario Tuesday
night into Wednesday in the area
burned by last year’s Station Fire,
which charred 250 square miles
above the suburbs tucked below the
San Gabriel Mountains.
A debris flow of rocks and mud
about three feet deep was detected
in the area early Tuesday and fore-
casters warned of possible rainfall
rates of .75 inch to 1 inch an hour
and thunderstorm rates of 2 inches
an hour in the region.
“It means that once the heaviest
rains start, it should be a very active
time up there,” Cannon said.
Heavy rains also fill riverbeds and
creeks that remain dry much of the
year, often spilling onto roadways
and washing them away.
In San Bernardino County, east of
Los Angeles, the normally dry
Mojave River was running 17 feet
deep and overflowing onto the road-
way, said Tracey Martinez, spokes-
woman for the county’s fire author-
ity.

Census: No gains in House seats for California
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California is
not gaining any seats in the House of
Representatives for the first time in
eight decades, according to 2010
Census figures released Tuesday.
However, California will hold on to
all of its current 53 seats under the
new state population totals being used
to reallocate the nation’s 435 congres-
sional seats.
While California’s population grew
by 10 percent in the past decade, it
was the state’s slowest growth rate
listed on a chart for California going
back to 1910.
California remained the most popu-
lous state in the nation, with 37.3 mil-
lion people in 2010. The state had
33.9 million residents in 2000.
California had gained seats every
decade going back to 1930. In 2000,
the state gained one House seat.
The latest population count will
help guide a newly formed state com-
mission responsible for carving new
congressional and state legislative dis-
tricts.
Voters in 2008 stripped the state
Legislature of the responsibility for
drawing boundaries and entrusted the
independent citizens commission to
determine the districts. The panel also
will determine districts for the tax-col-
lecting state Board of Equalization.
This year, voters expanded the com-
mission’s scope to include congres-
sional districts.
The final six members of the 14-
member California Citizens
Redistricting Commission were
selected last week.
“We think the initial eight commis-
sioners did an excellent job of com-
plementing regional and ethnic diver-
sity,” said Tunua Thrash of the
Greenlining Institute, a nonprofit
group advocating for racial and eco-
nomic justice.
The commission faces a daunting
task of drawing those districts in eight
months, she said.
Congress approves bill
to limit shark fin trade
WASHINGTON — Congress has
approved a bill to limit the lucrative
trade in shark fins, especially off the
West Coast, as demand rises for
shark fin soup in Asia and other
parts of the world.
The bill, approved this week by
the House and Senate, would
require all vessels to land sharks
with fins attached and prevent non-
fishing vessels from transporting
shark fins without their carcasses.
Rising demand for shark fin soup, a
delicacy in many cultures, has led to
an increase in removal of shark fins,
with the bodies dumped overboard.

Obama secures GOP votes U.S.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama locked up enough
Senate Republican votes Tuesday to
ratify a new arms control treaty with
Russia that would cap nuclear war-
heads for both former Cold War foes
and restart on-site weapons inspec-
tions.
Eleven Republicans joined
Democrats in a 67-28 proxy vote to
wind up the debate and hold a final
tally on Wednesday. They broke
ranks with the Senate’s top two
Republicans and were poised to give
Obama a win on his top foreign pol-
icy priority.
“We know when we’ve been beat-
en,” Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of
Utah told reporters hours before the
vote.
Ratification requires two-thirds of
those voting in the Senate and
Democrats need at least nine
Republicans to overcome the oppo-
sition of Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky and Jon Kyl
of Arizona, the party’s point man on
the pact.
The Obama administration has
made arms control negotiations the
centerpiece of resetting its relation-
ship with Russia, and the treaty was
critical to any rapprochement.
Momentum for the accord acceler-
ated earlier in the day Tuesday —
the seventh day of debate — when
Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, the
No. 3 Republican in the Senate,
announced his support.
The treaty will leave the United
States “with enough nuclear war-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — The U.S. teen birth
rate in 2009 fell to its lowest point in
almost 70 years of record-keeping
— a decline that stunned experts
who believe it’s partly due to the
recession.
The birth rate for teenagers fell to
39 births per 1,000 girls, ages 15
through 19, according to a govern-
ment report released Tuesday. It was
a 6 percent decline from the previ-
ous year, and the lowest since health
officials started tracking the rate in
1940.
Experts say the recent recession
— from December 2007 to June
2009 — was a major factor driving
down births overall, and there’s
good reason to think it affected
would-be teen mothers.

Editor,
Maybe unbeknownst to them, the
Belmont City Council Tuesday night
turned its back on the broader Bel-
mont community seemingly to serve
a small minority. After two years of
due process and community input
from all sides of this issue, Bel-
mont’s Planning Commission and
city staff developed and approved an
Amended Conditional Use Permit
for Notre Dame de Namur Univer-
sity’s Koret Field that reflected a fair
compromise for all involved parties
and would have benefited over 1,000
Belmont youth.
The proposed changes by the City
Council to the approved Planning
Commission’s Amended CUP de-
railed that entire two-year process.
The council’s proposed restricted
hours of play leaves NDNU with no
spare field time available for use by
the Belmont community, and all the
other proposed changes sought by
the Council will most likely result in
NDNU withdrawing its application
to Amend the CUP altogether and
fall back to the original CUP.
Should this occur, NDNU will con-
tinue to use Koret Field under the
current terms and conditions of the
original CUP. In addition, the restric-
tions the city imposes under the
original CUP on the use of Koret
Field will prevent the children and
teenagers of Belmont from using the
field. An opportunity for our youth
to play on an all-weather field, every
year, at no financial cost to Belmont,
will be lost.

the appeal, and implement the

Excellent coverage
on Koret field issue
Editor,
Compliments to Bill Silverfarb on
his article, “Belmont City Council
guts univerity’s permit for field use”
in the Dec. 16 edition of the Daily
Journal, for his comprehensive,
even-handed account of Tuesday
evening’s Belmont City Council
meeting.
In our view, in dealing with the
complexities of the Koret Field
issue, the council reached a
Solomonic balance. The affected
neighbors certainly did not get all
they wished, but the consensus
among them was that they were
treated fairly.
It is disappointing, indeed, to read
the intemperate remarks of univer-
sity President Judith Maxwell Greig.
In omitting the neighborhood groups
from “nearly two years of hard
work,” she shows a deep ignorance
of the formation of the original
Koret Field Task Force, which was
created to bring neighbors and
NDNU together.
Belmont Youth Sports groups were
late comers in negotiating with
NDNU to rent Koret Field, and were
at no time involved in negotiations
among the neighborhood group, the
Planning Commission, NDNU and
the city of Belmont.
Greig stated that “The City Council,
by contrast [to the Planning Com-
mission], based its decision...on
emotion, personal relationships, and
whim ... .”

would offer some evidence for such
an insulting statement. She should

Banking drive stock indexes

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dow 11,533.16 +55.03 10-Yr Bond 3.3260% -0.0230
Nasdaq 2,667.61 +18.05 Oil (per barrel) 90.02 NEW YORK — Financial companies
led stock indexes to new two-year highs
S&P 500 1,254.60 +7.52 Gold 1,388.00
Tuesday after another big banking deal
raised hopes that more acquisitions
could be on the way.
Toronto-Dominion Bank said it is
buying Chrysler Financial, the automak-
er’s old lending arm, from Cerberus
Capital Management LP for $6.3 bil-
lion. It was the latest example of a rela-
tively healthy Canadian bank buying a
U.S. lender battered by the financial cri-
sis. Toronto-Dominion bought
Commerce Bancorp Inc. in 2008, and
just four days ago Bank of Montreal
said it would buy Milwaukee-based
bank Marshall & Ilsley Corp. for $4.1
billion.
The S&P 500 closed above the level it
reached on Sept. 12, 2008, the last trad-
ing day before the collapse of Lehman
Brothers at the height of the financial
crisis. The Dow Jones industrial average
is at its highest since Aug. 29, 2008.
Corporate mergers have picked up
strongly this year. That, along with signs
of an improving economy and a tax cut
package passed last week, have helped
drive stocks up. The S&P 500 has
jumped 6.3 percent this month and 12.5
percent this year.
Investors like to see an increase in
deals because it shows that companies
are becoming more confident in the
economy. It also leads investors to hunt
for companies that might become tar-
gets for buyers.
Research firm Dealogic reported
Tuesday that the total dollar amount of
corporate deals has jumped 18 percent
to $2.7 trillion so far this year compared
with all of 2009. Caterpillar Inc.,
Chevron Corp. and Google Inc. have
also made significant deals in 2010.
“There is growing optimism about the
economy, or at least the U.S. economy,
in 2011,” said Alan Gayle, senior invest-
ment strategist for RidgeWorth
Investments. “We’re 18 months into this
recovery, and good things are gradually
happening.”
Financial companies were the best
performers. JPMorgan Chase & Co.
rose the most among the 30 companies
that make up the Dow. The stock rose
2.6 percent to $41. Bank of America
Corp., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and
Wells Fargo Corp. all rose by more than
1 percent.
“There’s a perception that some of the
... bigger banks will start an acquisition
program of their own in addition to what
we’re seeing with some of the Canadian
banks,” said Randy Bateman, chief
investment officer for Huntington Asset
Advisors.
Adobe Systems Inc. jumped 6 percent
to $30.93 after the software maker
reported earnings that were much
stronger than analysts had expected. The
company also raised its forecast for
earnings and revenue in the current
quarter.

Divided FCC adopts rules to protect Web traffic

By Joelle Tessler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A divided Federal
Communications Commission has
approved new rules meant to prohibit
broadband companies from interfering
with Internet traffic flowing to their cus-
tomers.
The 3-2 vote Tuesday marks a major
victory for FCC Chairman Julius
Genachowski, who has spent more than a
year trying to craft a compromise.
The FCC’s three Democrats voted to
pass the rules, while the two Republicans
opposed them, calling them unnecessary
regulation. The new rules are likely to face
intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill once
Republicans take over the House.
Meanwhile, public interest groups decried
the regulations as too weak, particularly for
wireless systems.
Known as “net neutrality,” the rules pro-
hibit phone and cable companies from
favoring or discriminating against Internet
content and services, such as those from
rivals.
The rules require broadband providers to
let subscribers access all legal online con-
tent, applications and services over their
wired networks — including online calling
services, Internet video and other Web
applications that compete with their core
businesses. But the rules give broadband
providers flexibility to manage data on
their systems to deal with problems such as
network congestion and unwanted traffic
including spam as long as they publicly
disclose their network management prac-
tices.
The regulations prohibit unreasonable
network discrimination — a category that
FCC officials say would most likely
include services that favor traffic from the
broadband providers themselves or traffic
from business partners that can pay for pri-
ority. The rules do, however, leave the door
open for broadband providers to experi-
ment with routing traffic from specialized
services such as smart grids and home
security systems over dedicated networks
as long as these services are separate from
the public Internet.
In addition, the regulations prohibit
wireless carriers from blocking access to
any websites or competing applications
such as Internet calling services on mobile
devices, and require them to disclose their
network management practices, too. But
the rules give wireless companies would
get more leeway to manage data traffic
because wireless systems have more band-
width constraints than wired networks.
Genachowski said the regulations will
prohibit broadband providers from abusing
their control over the on-ramps that con-
sumers use to get onto the Internet. He said
the companies won’t be able to determine
where their customers can go and what
they can do online.
“Today, for the first time, we are adopt-
ing rules to preserve basic Internet values,”
Genachowski said. “For the first time,
we’ll have enforceable rules of the road to
preserve Internet freedom and openness.”

Hovnanian trims fiscal 4Q loss on smaller charges
LOS ANGELES — Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. says it
trimmed its fiscal fourth quarter loss as the homebuilder
booked smaller land-related write-downs versus a year ago.
But slowing homebuyer demand led to a 13 percent drop in
new home contracts for the quarter.
The company said Tuesday it lost $132.1 million, or $1.68 a
share, for the three months ended in October. That compares
with a loss of $250.8 million, or $3.21 a share, in the prior-year
period.
Revenue dropped to $353 million from $437.4 million the
year before.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting a loss
of 66 cents a share on revenue of about $288.1 million.
Hovnanian is based in Red Bank, N.J.

Craigslist removes global adult services listings
By Stephanie Reitz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARTFORD, Conn. — Craigslist
has confirmed that it removed its
controversial adult services section
from its international sites,
Connecticut’s attorney general said
Tuesday, four months after it did the
same for its U.S. sites.
The U.S. move in September
came under pressure from officials,
including Connecticut Attorney
General Richard Blumenthal, over
whether Craigslist was adequately
policing illegal ads.
Money habits have family roots
By Eileen AJ Connelly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — If every budget
you’ve ever tried has failed, maybe
it’s because you didn’t first examine
your attitudes toward money.
Personal relationships with
money reflect influences that go all
the way back to childhood. Kids
learn from the ways their parents
handle spending, saving and debt.
Other family members, peer groups
and, of course, advertising and mar-
keting also have an impact.
You may rebel against these expe-
riences, or emulate them. But the
growing field that combines behav-
ioral psychology and personal
finance says the lessons you learned
as a child will continue to play a
role long after you’re on your own.
That doesn’t mean you can’t take
control of your spending and saving
habits. Whether you hope to save to
buy a house, pay down debt or shed
that Scrooge-like reputation, the key
to financial success is awareness of
the role money plays in your life.
The recession and its aftermath
has sparked new interest in finding
the root causes of money problems,
said Kathleen Gurney, founder of
Financial Psychology Corp. and
author of “Your Money

Personality.” She said more people
are doing some personal reckoning
and trying to break free from
ingrained patterns. That requires
“recognizing what’s behind them
and using that knowledge to develop
new habits,” said Gurney, who is
based in Sarasota, Fla.
Gurney developed nine profiles to
broadly categorize money behav-
iors. With names like Hunters, High
Rollers, Safety Players, Achievers,
and Perfectionists, the profiles are
based on 13 traits identified using a
series of questions to probe child-
hood memories and adult behaviors
linked to money. There are several
other similar programs that use per-
sonality traits, with numerous
quizzes available online.
Others say labels don’t matter that
much. “Once you label somebody,
so what?” said Lois Vitt, chair of the
Institute for Socio-Financial Studies
based in Charlottesville, Va. “I’m a
spender in some categories, I’m a
saver in others.”
Whether you’re more comfortable
finding a classification to identify
with or working with a broader
approach, Vitt said what’s important
is making an effort to define how
you think and feel about money,
how your values influence your
decisions, and what you would like
BUSINESS
The removal was first reported on
Wired magazine’s website.
Blumenthal called the company’s
decision a victory against sexual
exploitation of women and children,
and against human trafficking con-
nected to prostitution.
“This move is another important
step in the ongoing fight to more
effectively screen and stop perni-
cious prostitution ads,” he said.
Craigslist replaced the adult serv-
ices section’s link on United States
sites with a black-and-white “cen-
sored” bar on Sept. 4 after
Blumenthal and 16 other state attor-
neys general sent a joint letter to the
to change.
“What you want to do is become
more conscious of the finances in
your life,” she said. “You hear a lot
about mindfulness, and that’s what
we need.”
Here are some steps to help you
become more mindful of your
finances:
Identify your values regarding
money.
Start exploring what you learned
about money as a child. Perhaps you
heard conflicting messages from
your parents. You might find that
you identify with both in different
situations, said Elizabeth Husserl
Rubiano of Inner Economics, a
money coaching service in
Berkeley, Calif.
Also consider what triggers your
spending patterns — perhaps a need
to impress others or fight feeling
deprived?
Gurney noted not all traits are
negative. “I look at them as a bal-
ance sheet,” she said. “Some traits
work as assets.”
Educate yourself about personal
finance.
The amount of information avail-
able about money management and
investing is vast compared with
what consumers could get just a
decade or two ago, noted Vitt.
website demanding its removal.
A Craigslist official told U.S. law-
makers during a House Judiciary
Committee panel a few weeks later
that the website has no plans to
resume its adult services section.
Craigslist, which is largely free,
has been under prosecutors’ scrutiny
for years. It tried to police the post-
ings on its adult services page by
charging a fee to post the ads and
requiring them to be vetted and
approved.
The section carried ads for a vari-
ety of erotic services, including per-
sonal massages and a night’s com-
panionship, which critics say veered
Arming yourself with some basic
money skills that can be put to work
will help when you’re trying to fig-
ure out how to change your habits.
Identify one or two issues to start
with.
Small steps can lead to big
changes that make you feel better
about the process. A simple move
like taking the credit cards out of
your wallet can be a start.
It takes about six weeks to change
a habit — and you’ll likely always
have to work on maintaining it. “We
never quite wipe the slate clean,”
Gurney said.
Don’t expect a smooth ride.
It might take a few tries before
you discover what works best for
you: For some spenders, allowing a
certain amount for splurges may be
a winning strategy, while others find
a strict spending plan removes the
need for willpower.
“We like to hold on to that behav-
ior that makes us feel so comfort-
able,” Gurney said. Test out differ-
ent strategies to find those that are
suitable for sustaining your desired
changes. “Everybody slips back,

SANTA CLARA — Mike Singletary is

The coach has made up his mind on who
will get the call for San Francisco’s must-win
game Sunday at St. Louis. He just isn’t saying
which guy named Smith will be under center
for the 49ers.
Smith 1 or Smith 2? Singletary says it might
just be both.
“It depends on how the
game goes,” Singletary
said Tuesday.

both quarterbacks and

No stopping Neumayr
By Josh Koehn
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Of the five years Steve Erle has been in charge of Burlingame’s
girls’ volleyball program, Michelle Neumayr holds a distinct title.
“She’s the best I’ve ever seen,” he said.
Every now and then, it’s OK to buy into the hype. Because when
it comes to Neumayr — the Cal-bound senior who is the Daily
Journal’s Female Volleyball Player of the Year after leading
Burlingame to its best record in school history — the 6-foot-1 out-
side hitter is as multi-dimensional as they come.
To fully understand how important Neumayr was to the Panthers’
success this season, one only needs to take a look at the stat sheet.
Of the 1,162 kills the team had while going 28-6, Neumayr
accounted for more than half. She was also first on the team in digs,
third in blocks and recorded an astounding mark of one ace for
every four serves attempted.
Helping Burlingame to an undefeated record in the Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division, which gave the Panthers their second
straight league title, Neumayr showed off her versatility in each
match. But Erle said what makes Neumayr even more unique is her
work ethic and potential to improve.
“I think it’s limitless as far as volleyball goes,” he said. “She’s
going to be a strong college player because she works so hard. She’s
always the first one in the gym and last one to leave. She’s played
for some really good coaches and clubs, but she still wants to learn
things.”
Neumayr is in such an elite class that last week she played in the
Under Armour All-America Volleyball Match & Skills
Competition. The event was held in Kansas City and Neumayr
received the invite after being selected to the American Volleyball
Coaches Association’s First Team, which consists of the top 24
players in the country.
Despite all the accolades, Neumayr seems to understand that the
Panthers’ season wasn’t about showcasing just one player.
“I think it was really a cool thing to know that we went undefeat-
ed in league and are probably the best team Burlingame has ever
had,” she said. “Burlingame volleyball is definitely a lot more
respected than it was.”

Americans lord over ski world
By Pat Graham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sometimes, even the best in the business need
a little inspiration before a big race.
Prior to her competition last weekend, three-
time World Cup champion Lindsey Vonn tuned
in to a men’s race, hoping to draw motivation
from watching Ted Ligety.
Ligety attacked the hill and captured the giant
slalom in Alta Badia, Italy. Instantly inspired,
Vonn followed suit, winning the super-com-
bined in Val d’Isere, France.
It’s been that kind of season for the U.S.
skiers.
After a stellar showing at the Vancouver
Olympics last winter, hauling in a team-record
eight medals, the Americans are still riding the
momentum, with Ligety and Vonn currently
leading the overall World Cup standings.
The U.S. team’s performance has become the
chatter on the slopes.
“I think there’s a lot of people that are very
impressed with what we’re doing and there’s a
lot of people talking about the strength of our
team and the dominance right now that we
have,” Vonn said. “It’s so motivating and inspir-
ing and makes you want to keep skiing fast.”
The fact Vonn is skiing this well hardly comes
as a surprise. She’s the gold standard in the sport
and has picked up right where she left off in
Vancouver when she won the downhill and took
bronze in the super-G — on a badly bruised
right shin, no less.
Ligety’s rise to the top of the standings does
come as a surprise. He’s known more as a tech-
nical skier but has diligently worked on improv-
ing his speed. His extra attention to the downhill
appears to be spilling over as he’s flying through
even the tightest of giant slalom courses.
The 26-year-old from Park City, Utah, won
his third straight World Cup giant slalom race
last weekend.
Can he retain his overall lead all season?
SPORTS
“It’s a tall task,” said Ligety, who won gold in
the combined at the 2006 Turin Games.
Vonn and Ligety are far from the only
Americans making an early impression on the
slopes this season.
Julia Mancuso, winner of two silver medals in
Vancouver, has been skiing solid and is sixth in
the overall standings. Even more, there’s been a
bevy of up-and-coming women’s skiers consis-
tently placing in the top 30. Alice McKennis, 21,
recently took 11th during a downhill at Lake
Louise, Alberta.
“They’re all on a great track right now, and
they’re all showing a lot of potential,” said Vonn,
who lives and trains in Vail, Colo. “We try to
work as a team and feed off of each other and
learn from each other. That’s why we’re able to
have the success we’re having right now.”
On the men’s side, Bode Miller has started off
slowly, with just one top-10 finish so far this sea-
son. This after winning gold, silver and bronze
in Vancouver to run his career total to five Winter
Games medals.
However, there’s an influx of youth waiting in
the wings, skiers such as Travis Ganong, the 22-
year-old out of Squaw Valley, Calif., who recent-
ly finished 20th at a super-G in Lake Louise.
It’s been quite a showing for the Americans
this season in the traditionally European-domi-
nated sport.
As for garnering more respect, Ligety said that
was attained years ago through skiers such as
Miller and Daron Rahlves.
“We used to be able to train with the
Austrians, but they don’t let us do that anymore
because they know we can beat them,” Ligety
said. “I guess that’s respect in a way.
“Over the last few years, we’ve definitely
gained more respect in the ski racing world.”
For both Vonn and Ligety, the early season
success can be directly attributed to a strong fit-
ness program.

imen to enrich her explosion in the slalom and
giant slalom. She figured the only way to main-
tain an advantage over best friend and top rival
Maria Riesch of Germany was to get better at the
events Vonn’s struggled with most — the techni-
cal ones.
She currently leads Riesch by just three points
in the overall standings after both crashed out of
the slalom course Tuesday during a race in
Courchevel, France.
Vonn also changed her diet, basically elimi-
nating breads, rices, dairy and pastas — all the
things she typically craves.
So far, her training routine is paying off. Vonn
credits her increased strength for helping her
stave off what looked to be certain wipeouts in
two races this season to not only finish but wind
up on the podium.
In Lake Louise, she momentarily went down
on her left hip before springing back up off the
snow and regaining her tuck position to keep
charging down the mountain and finish second.
She nearly went down again in a downhill
race over the weekend, before regaining her bal-
ance and winning the race.
“I’ve made a lot of mistakes this year in my
races and I’ve been able to make really fast
recoveries because of the training I’ve done this
summer,” Vonn said.
Ligety’s source of motivation in the offseason
was simple — missing out on the medals in
Vancouver. That didn’t sit well with the skier
known as “Teddy Ball Game” for his cool under
pressure.
“That’s a big motivator,” said Ligety, who cap-
tured the overall GS title last winter for the sec-
ond time in three seasons. “You’re training in the
gym and going in there five days a week — you
don’t always want to be in there.
“But it’s definitely good motivation to think
about that and know that this little extra work is
going to help you in those situations.”

Was Tebow terrific or terrible? Redskins’ McNabb
By Arnie Stapleton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Tim
Tebow either demonstrated he was-
n’t ready for the NFL or provided
glimpses of greatness in his first
NFL start.
It’s all in the eye of the beholder:
Denver’s rookie quarterback was
either Tim Terrific or Tim Terrible in
his debut last weekend in Oakland.
The truth is probably smack dab in
the middle.
The Tebow haters found plenty of
flaws in his game: his measly total
of eight completions in a paltry 16
pass attempts and a pitiful 2-for-7
performance out of the shotgun, in
manageable down and distances no
less. They point to his 2-for-12
third-down conversion rate.
Tebow fans loved his 40-yard
touchdown jaunt — the longest by
an NFL quarterback in his first
career start — and learning that he
was supposed to hand the ball off to
Correll Buckhalter on the third-and-
24 play only added to the amaze-
ment.
And they adored his 33-yard
touchdown pass that went through a
defensive back’s hands before set-
tling into Brandon Lloyd’s hands as
he tumbled out of the end zone.
Another of his passes was
dropped by running back Lance Ball
in the end zone, although Tebow
was a tad late delivering the ball.
Tebow is probably more realistic
than either faction, saying there was
some good and some bad in his
debut, plenty to be proud of but lots
of work to do.
“I think I did OK,” he said after
throwing for 138 yards and running
eight times for 78
yards in Denver’s
39-23 loss to the
Raiders. “We did
some things well,
some things I
have to get better
at. We didn’t
have any
Tim Tebow turnovers offen-
sively so that
always gives you a better chance.
“We just have to execute a little
better on third down. Honestly, I
have to go back and look at the film
to know everything. But just be
crisper, quicker and better with my
reads.”
Tebow’s 100.5 passer rating was
the highest in team history for a pro
debut and the highest among the
NFL’s seven rookie quarterbacks
who have debuted this season.
The Raiders were impressed by
the former Florida star who was
stunningly selected in the first round
of the draft by former Broncos
coach Josh McDaniels.
“People said he couldn’t be an
NFL quarterback but he made some
good throws, he had some good
runs,” linebacker Quentin Groves
said. “He does what suits him best
and that’s what it is.”
And what best suits him right now
is passing prudently and running a
bunch.
But the big question about Tebow
is can he run like he did in college
and survive in the pros? He’ll have
to become more of a pocket passer,
and to do that, he’ll have to refine
his footwork and his throwing
mechanics, two things he’s spent
countless hours on.
SPORTS
“I thought he played well,”
Raiders cornerback Nnamdi
Asomugha said. “He ran the ball
well like we knew he would. I
thought he threw well. The passes
he was throwing, they were on the
money for the most part. So I think
he did OK.”
Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly
said Tebow made the most of the
conservative calls.
“You could tell their game plan
was specifically for his skill set.
They didn’t want to put him in too
much trouble, a lot of drop-back
passes,” Kelly said. “They put him
in a lot of boot situations where he
could use his athletic ability and he
did a very good job.”
Broncos interim coach Eric
Studesville, who has already
declared Tebow his starter for
Sunday when the Houston Texans
(5-9) visit Denver (3-11), praised
his quarterback’s play and poise.
“He did a lot of the things that we
always thought he could do. He made
plays scrambling and running the ball
on the long draw play. He threw the
ball, even though we didn’t throw it a
whole lot of times, he did make some
nice throws and completions that we
needed,” Studesville said.
“And I think his management of
the game, getting us in and out of
things, handling that environment is
not an easy thing. When those fans
get cranked up there in Oakland, it’s
a difficult environment and we
thought he handled that well. His
energy was unbelievable that he
brought to the sidelines.”
The Broncos don’t figure to be
quite as conservative in their play
calling with Tebow against the
Texans.
felt ‘disrespected’
by being benched
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASHBURN, Va. — Donovan
McNabb felt disrespected by the
way he was benched by Washington
Redskins coach Mike Shanahan.
“Everything was handled awk-
wardly,” McNabb said Tuesday on
his weekly radio show on
ESPN980, “somewhat to a disre-
spect to me and to the team.”
Making his first public comments
since his demotion last week,
McNabb said he strongly disagreed
with the decision, but he has a big-
ger problem with the way he says
the organization leaked the news to
the media before informing him.
“Because of the timing and
because of all the leaks and every-
thing that was put out there, and no
putting out the fire, so to speak,”
McNabb said, “I’m hearing every-
thing through the media.”
Shanahan waited until Thursday
evening to tell McNabb that Rex
Grossman would be the starter for
the rest of the season, even though
rumblings of a possible switch had
been circulating all week.
“I was pulled back by it. All of a
sudden you get this news a couple
of days before the game, you do feel
somewhat disrespected,” McNabb
said. “You could have told me earli-
er or at least prepared me for it. ...
The term I did use was professional.
You would like to hear it early, and
if you hear it late, it kind of throws
off the preparation for a lot of
guys.”

McNabb said
he wasn’t even
aware that he
was being
demoted to No.
3 quarterback
for the final two
games of the
season until
Donovan Shanahan
announced the
McNabb move to
reporters the next day.
As for the benching, McNabb con-
ceded he’s had a tough year, but he
said he felt he had made enough
progress in his first season in the
Redskins’ offense to give the team
something to build on. Shanahan
said he benched McNabb because
the team had been mathematically
eliminated from the playoffs and he
wanted to evaluate the two other
quarterbacks, Grossman and John
Beck.
“The way this whole thing went
down to me was ’off’ and one that I
strongly disagree, with because I’ve
always believed that if you start some-
thing you finish it,” McNabb said. “I
wanted to be out there with the team.
... Other quarterbacks have struggled
a little bit, but I’m the one that’s got to
go through this ’evaluation process.”’
McNabb was asked if he felt
demeaned by serving as the third-
string quarterback.
“Yeah, I don’t think too many guys
go from 1 to 3,” he answered. “That’s
an unfortunate situation that I guess
I’m one of a few to be a part of.”

“I’m not John Wooden and this isn’t
UCLA,” coach Geno Auriemma said. “This is
Connecticut and that’s good enough.”
It is one more chapter of history for UConn,
and perhaps the grandest.
Connecticut long ago established itself as
the marquee program in the women’s game,
the benchmark by which all others are meas-
ured. The Huskies already own seven national
titles and four perfect seasons under
Auriemma, and they’ve produced a galaxy of
stars that includes Rebecca Lobo, Diana
Taurasi, Jennifer Rizzotti, Sue Bird and Tina
Charles.
The streak, though, takes it to another level,
certainly raising the profile of women’s bas-
ketball and maybe all of women’s athletics.
Two days after beating No. 11 Ohio State to
tie UCLA, UConn toppled the mark in front of
a sellout crowd of 16,294 at the XL Center

attending his first women’s game.

on team president Jed York’s declaration that
the Niners would come back from an 0-5 start
to reach the postseason.
Singletary’s uncertain future very well
could hinge on the arm of the Smith he has
chosen. Singletary has said in recent weeks
that Alex Smith knows the entire playbook
and gives the 49ers more options on offense
and the best chance to win.
Neither quarterback could shed any light on
the situation Tuesday considering neither was
available — or even seen for that matter —
during the hour-long open locker room period
for media.
Tight end Vernon Davis has said previously
it is challenging to prepare each week without
knowing who will be passing him the ball
come game day.
“Singletary calls the shots,” Davis said
Tuesday. “Whether we like it or not, we have
to deal with it. I mean, I’ve never had a situa-
tion like that where we’ve had to use two quar-
terbacks in a game. But if you do it, there’s
nothing I can really say.”
Alex Smith has started the past two games
— a commanding 40-21 win over Seattle on
Dec. 12 and an embarrassing 34-7 loss last
Thursday night at San Diego — after a five-
Christian despite holding a higher seed. Also,
Neumayr was ill the entire week leading up to
the match.

said. “Michelle had not practiced all week. I

game absence.
Troy Smith, the 2006 Heisman Trophy win-
ner at Ohio State who joined the Niners in
September, initially filled in after Alex Smith
separated his non-throwing left shoulder Oct.
24 at Carolina and then kept the job even after
the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick was healthy
again.
Then it was back to Alex Smith.
Yet it was Troy Smith who led the 49ers to
a 23-20 overtime win over St. Louis on Nov.
14, throwing for 356 yards and a touchdown
on 17-for-28 passing.
Alex Smith was sacked six times against the
Chargers and 21 times for 122 lost yards in all
this season. He is 179 of 298 for 1,974 yards
and 10 touchdowns with 12 interceptions.
Alex Smith is set to become a free agent after
the season and will certainly be elsewhere in
2011.
The switcheroos are challenging.
“It’s been tough. It’s pretty much been like
that since I’ve been here,” Davis said. “We’ve
brought in several quarterbacks — using one,
using the other. It’s definitely difficult, but it’s
something you have to fight through. We have
to fight through adversity and you have to
manage to just overcome certain obstacles and
fight through it. So that’s what we’re doing
right now.”
So, it’s anybody’s guess what Singletary has
in mind, because he has been changing his so
often.
Neither the coach nor star player, however,
said that game will haunt them when looking
back at the past season.
“I think some of the things that stand out to
me most are the players I played with,”
Neumayr said. “They’re my best friends, and
we had a lot of chemistry. It was a really good
way to end my career at Burlingame.”

Edmonton Oilers 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Antero Niittymaki stopped 26 shots to beat
the Oilers for the third time this season and

contenders Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall.
Eberle had four goals in his previous three
games, and Hall had three assists in the
Oilers’ 6-3 victory over Columbus on
Thursday.

Wine 2011: Look forward to good prices

By Michelle Locke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Riesling will rise. The market for
wine in Asia will boom on.
Customers will continue to hunt for
vintage values. And the market for
fine wine will continue to rumble
back to life.
That’s the sort of year industry
observers say the world of wine will
bring us in 2011.
In 2010, the economy remained a
top issue for American high-end
winemakers, many of them in
California. They saw sales of wines
priced at $30 or more a bottle
slammed when consumer spending
collapsed.
“Since so much of the economy
of high-end wine is attached to a
robust economy and wealth cre-
ation, we have clearly seen a diffi-
cult couple of years for Napa and
other high-end growing areas,” said
Barry Schuler, former chairman and
CEO of America Online and now
proprietor of Meteor Vineyard in the
Napa Valley.
Now, “the market’s definitely com-
ing back,” which means producers
have to decide what to do next, he
says. “I think people are looking at
Asia, where all of a sudden there’s an
interest in fine wine and high-end
wine, both from collectors and
young entrepreneurs who are acquir-
ing some wealth for the first time.”
Here at home, meanwhile, con-
sumers who had been staying away
from premium wines — or, if they
were going to shell out $50 or more,
sticking to tried and true brands —
are getting a little more adventurous,
says Doug Shafer of Shafer
Vineyards, the Napa Valley producer
of the highly regarded Hillside Select
cabernet sauvignon. “People are
feeling a little more confident,” he
said.
One trend from 2010 that Shafer
expects to see continue in 2011 is
restaurants teaming with wineries to
sell wine under their own name. That
trend got a boost from the recession,
with premium grapes and wine
Analysts are predicting a rebound in wine sales,especially higher-end bot-
tles and varieties.
becoming cheaper and more avail-
able.
Consumers used to getting good
values in wines likely will continue
that hunt. “There can be some really
good finds out there,” Shafer says.
Some consumers are going to be
looking to imports for values, explor-
ing the well-priced varietals of
Argentina, Chile, Portugal, the
Rhone in France, and Spain. “As the
economy continues to rebound (we
hope!) consumers will be looking for
flavor and value, and these countries
are providing them,” say Karen Page
and Andrew Dornenburg, award-
winning authors of “What to Drink
with What You Eat,” now also avail-
able as an iPhone app.
Dornenburg and Page expect ries-
ling — “Which we’ve long termed
the single most food-friendly white
wine.” — to become more popular,
along with similar wines such as
Oregon pinot gris, Argentinian tor-
rontes and Spanish albarino.
And there will be more bubbly,
including new varieties such as
sparkling cabernet sauvignon,
sparkling malbec and sparkling tor-
rontes.
In 2010, wine drinkers found bar-
gains on Internet sites such as

Nuts are a healthier, satisfying party food

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When you’re lining up the shots at
your holiday party, don’t hesitate to
go a little nuts. Really.
Nuts are loaded with heart-
healthy nutrients. They also a good
source of protein and fiber, both of
which are helpful for controlling
hunger if you are trying to take off a
few pounds.
Almonds, pecans, walnuts and
hazelnuts are thought to be particu-
larly healthy. But even snacking on
favorites such is a good choice. Just
don’t go crazy, as you’re still look-
ing at plenty of calories and (in
many cases) tons of salt.
Luckily, nuts are easy to portion
control, even at a party. Instead of
putting out a big bowl, offer shot
glasses and small bowls filled with
nuts.

2010: ‘Artisanal’out,what’s on 2011 menu?
B
ow your heads, please, for 2010 saw
yet another foodie term of affection
jump the shark — artisanal.
This year big business continued to follow
the foodie dollar, co-opting and transforming
the language of the culinary crowd. A few
years ago they swarmed the once-crunchy cot-
tage organic industry. Then everyone from
Whole Foods to Walmart latched on to the
“local” label.
When the Big Foods of the world made
Frito-Lay’s Tostitos from “Artisan Recipes”
and Sargento shredded cheeses from “Artisan
Blends” (all trademarked, of course), you
know the term lost its cred.
So went the year in food.
It means 2011 will see yet another search for
a term that sets apart real from really industri-
alized food. There’s no frontrunner, but odds
are good author and activist Michael Pollan
(the man whose dilemma we all devoured) and
chef-agronomist Dan Barber (whose Blue Hill
restaurant menu we all want to devour) will
have a hand in coining it.
That’s no laughing matter. Or maybe it is.
Better ask another star of 2010 — Ruth
Bourdain, the fictional spawn of former
Gourmet magazine editor Ruth Reichl and
sass-talking chef Anthony Bourdain. The
freakishly androgynous anonymously-penned
mashup ruled the Twittersphere, retooling the
real Reichl’s lyrical tweets into raunchy, acer-
bic comic fodder (most of it unfit to print).
Ruth Bourdain was the name to follow and
the man (or woman?) to unmask. Nobody did.
Speaking of Gourmet, 2010 saw the one-
year anniversary of its demise, but its zombie
lived on. Most of us — including Reichl, now
a Random House editor — have moved on.
Parent company Conde Nast (which pulled the
trigger on it) seemed to have more trouble.
They trotted out the Gourmet name on every-
thing from a cookie cookbook to an app to
FOOD
“special editions” of the
magazine.
Makes you wonder
why they killed it in the
first place.
The Gourmet app
entered a crowded mar-
ketplace. This was the
year for big name food-
ies to put their
thumbprints on tiny
screens. Everyone from
J.M. HIRSCH Martha Stewart and
Tyler Florence to
Rachael Ray and Mark Bittman got in on the
app game.
Meanwhile, the iPad was supposed to revo-
lutionize cookbooks, finally bringing together
the traditional contents and portability of paper
with the whiz-bang features, encyclopedic
depth and flexibility of video and the Internet.
We’re still waiting.
Not all grub-related media growth was on
tiny screens. Apparently the American appetite
for televised food is as insatiable as its obses-
sion with over-the-top fast food (more on that
in a minute). In the spring, the 17-year-old
Food Network gave birth to another 24-7 culi-
nary enterprise — the Cooking Channel.
On another network, Brit chef Jamie Oliver
was busy trying to revolutionize the eating
habits and food policies of a West Virginia
town that wasn’t always thrilled to have him
there. Whatever the lasting difference on that
community, “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution”
was eaten up by viewers and it won an Emmy
for outstanding reality program.
It was a spotlight Oliver had to share, for
talk about healthing up America’s eating habits
was all the rage, everywhere from 1600
Pennsylvania Ave. right on down to Sesame
Street.

push to end childhood hunger and fight child-
hood obesity, rallying chefs (celebrity and not)
to donate time to resource-strapped school
lunch programs and helping to push through

funded an additional 20 million after-school

and obesity.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
latest fast food obsession — a caloric game of
one-upmanship in creating the most over-the-
top menu item. In Spring, KFC gave us the
hugely popular 540-calorie Double Down — a
bunless sandwich of bacon and cheese sur-
rounded by chicken filets.
Not to be outdone, a few weeks later IHOP
offered up Pancake Stackers, a crustless
cheesecake filling surrounded by two butter-
milk pancakes and topped with a strawberry,
blueberry or cinnamon apple compote and
whipped topping. Accompanied by its stan-
dard two eggs, bacon and hash browns, it
packed a mere 1,250 calories.
Yet both seemed eclipsed by the return of —
and frenzy to nosh — McDonald’s McRib.
The company credited the sandwich with help-
ing push sales nearly 5 percent in November.
Makes sense. In 2010, pork was the meat to
eat. Bacon continued to command star treat-
ment, though by the time you can cruise online
and find Star Wars spaceships constructed out
of bacon, you know its days are numbered.
And despite our preoccupation with cured pig,
chicken remained the leader in recipe searches
on Yahoo.
Also hot was what people weren’t eating —
gluten. Grocers seem so overstocked by prod-
ucts clamoring to set you free from the wheat
protein, it seems only a matter of time before
somebody offers gluten-free gluten.
What’s next? Vegans are hotter than hot. But
so is meat. We’ll inhale meatballs spiked with
unspeakable ingredient combinations. We’ve
read way too many books about butchers this
year. Could fish mongers be the next fascinat-
ing food worker for whom memoirists pen
pseudo-sexual odes?
Perhaps . If they batter the local and organic
catch of the day in artisanal gluten-free bread-
crumbs.

Lamb: Sweet,spicy and crunchy South Beach
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When Jean-Georges Vongerichten created
this recipe for rack of lamb, he was aiming for
a blend of sweet, spicy and crunchy. He got a
kick of heat from chilies and relies on fresh
mint and a sweet pea puree to tame it.
“Of course, I couldn’t leave the dish without
adding some crunch, and to me, there’s noth-
ing better than a golden breadcrumb crust on
a lamb chop. Every bite is exciting,” he says in
Lee Schrager’s “The Food Network South

food festival
keeps heat up
By Michael Hill
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Lee Brian Schrager is
preparing for another food and wine festival
— one of his signature events that draw thou-
sands and feature big names like Bobby Flay
and Rachael Ray.
One big concern: He’s looking for locations
to hold it.
With the fourth annual New York City Wine
& Food Festival looming in nine months,
Schrager and his assistants scout an old indus-
trial building on a Hudson
River pier. It’s old and run-
down, but Schrager pic-
tures it painted and open to
the river.
“I don’t dislike it,”
Schrager says into the vast
empty space. “I can imag-
ine that if the doors were
open, this could be a fan-
Lee Brian tastic space.”
Schrager Schrager’s big thinking
has made him the pre-emi-
nent event planner in the food world. At 51, he
is a ball of energy who is able to charm and/or
wheedle festival appearances from top chefs
as diverse as Emeril Lagasse and Alice Waters.
His main claim to fame is the South Beach
Wine & Food Festival, a sort of culinary
Woodstock meets red carpet meets spring
break. It will mark its 10th year in February. A
few years ago, he started a sister charity festi-
val in New York City.
“I think Lee’s a genius. How he pulls these
things off is beyond me,” said Food Network
star Paula Deen. “I don’t know how he does it
with such perfection.”
“If I were him,” she joked, “I would be lay-
ing in a ditch dead of a heart attack.”
Schrager lives in Miami, but spends about a
quarter of the year in New York City, where he
checked out possible sites for the 2011 city
festival recently. On a frosty day as Manhattan
geared up for Christmas, Schrager criss-
crossed the island for meetings.

number of bottles available. This was another
recession-fueled marketing shift; smaller wineries
found traditional distribution channels narrowing
as consumer spending dropped.
Paul Mabray of the Napa-based wine consulting
firm VinTank expects that trend to continue, but he
also expects wineries to start selling discounted
wines via their own websites to regular customers.
“It’s better than ever to be a member of a win-
ery’s email list,” he says.
Even when it comes to selling regular priced
wines, direct marketing to online consumers is
becoming more prominent among wineries, says
Mabray. “Consumer direct has always been a con-
versation piece. Everyone believes in it, but no one
really spends the resources. But when they have
no other channel, they’ve all shifted to, ’How do
we do consumer direct?’ Wine clubs, telemarket-
ing and e-commerce are all huge.”
Another byproduct of the narrowed distribution
channels, says Schuler, has been more sales out of
tasting rooms and more effort by vintners to go out
and meet their customers in their own towns.
“The labels got out there on the road them-
selves, were pouring a lot of wine, making direct
contact with customers, trying to keep product
moving.”
That includes using social media to identify and
keep in touch with customers. “That’s an interest-
ing dynamic, when a brand can directly connect
with the customers without a bunch of middle peo-
ple,” he says.

However, the board had to act quickly or
risk paying out hundreds of thousands of dol-

improvement and relocation costs — could
have jumped to $17.9 million if the county
didn’t meet the Dec. 27 closing deadline.
The vote to move forward, which also
included certifying the environmental docu-

In the last months, the city worked out the
deal and purchased 29, 50, 70 and 80
Chemical Way on behalf of the county for
$13.5 million with a promise of repayment.
The county’s agreement sets aside money
for the land plus funds for improvements.
The San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors was originally scheduled to vote
on the matter at its previous meeting in
December but postponed the public hearing
until yesterday morning.
Prior to greenlighting the purchase, the
board accepted the environmental review
which concluded the project will not adverse-
ly affect water, air, traffic or aesthetics. The
report does suggest the county implement
some mitigation measures such as landscap-
ing, checking for historical artifacts and work-

The construction price tag has been estimat-

also lower the cost to build.

Challenges for Iraq’s new government
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — Iraq seated a freely elected
government Tuesday after nine months of
haggling, bringing together the main ethnic
and religious groups in a fragile balance that
could make it difficult to rebuild a nation dev-
astated by war as American troops prepare for
their final withdrawal.
One of the government’s first priorities will
be to decide whether to ask the Obama admin-
istration to keep thousands of U.S. soldiers in
Iraq after their scheduled departure in
December 2011.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s new gov-
ernment solidifies the grip that Shiites have
held on political power since Saddam
Hussein’s ouster. It leaves open the question
of whether the country’s disgruntled Sunni
minority will play a meaningful role.
Despite tortuous negotiations that threat-
ened to unravel the country’s tenuous demo-
cratic gains, the public face of the new gov-
ernment will look remarkably like the outgo-
ing one. The prime minister, president and
foreign minister will remain the same. The
outcome was a huge victory for al-Maliki,
who has made more than his share of enemies
as prime minister since May 2006. Parliament
originally tapped al-Maliki as a compromise
candidate to lead Iraq following tumultuous
NATO denies U.S.military pushing for Pakistan raidsin The New York Times,” Smith said.
By Patrick Quinn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — The U.S.-led
coalition in Afghanistan on Tuesday denied a
report that American forces are pushing to
expand special operations raids into tribal
areas of neighboring Pakistan where Islamist
militants are known to find refuge.
NATO’s deputy chief of communications,
U.S. Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, said there
was no truth to the report published in The
New York Times.
Citing unnamed American officials in
Washington, the Times reported on its web-
site late Monday that U.S. military com-
manders believe special operations forces
could capture militants for interrogation,
bringing in an intelligence windfall.
“There is absolutely no truth to reporting

elections in December 2005 during the height
of the war.
The new government was sworn in Tuesday
immediately after the Iraqi parliament voted
to approve 34 Cabinet ministers including al-
Maliki. The remainder of the 44-member
Cabinet is made up of acting ministers who
will be replaced at a later date because of
ongoing disputes among coalition partners.
President Barack Obama praised Iraq for
building an inclusive coalition that he
described as “a clear rejection of the efforts by
extremists to spur sectarian division.”
Al-Maliki hailed what he called a unified
but diverse government, the creation of which
was “the most difficult task in the world.”
But even as he praised the new government,
al-Maliki hinted at its weakness: the need to
include all the major political factions as a
way to preserve stability at the expense of effi-
ciency.
“There were people whose parties have only
one or two seats and even they were demand-
ing a ministry,” al-Maliki said. “So I know
that nobody is satisfied with me.”
Indeed, two groups blasted the new Cabinet
even before it was sworn in.
The Kurdish splinter Goran party, which
has only eight lawmakers, said it should have
gotten more than the one Cabinet post it was
offered and threatened to boycott the govern-
He said NATO and U.S. forces, along with
their Afghan partners, have developed a
strong working relationship with the
Pakistan military to address shared security
issues.
“This coordination recognizes the sover-
eignty of Afghanistan and Pakistan to pursue
insurgents and terrorists operating in their
respective border areas,” he said.
In Washington, a senior defense official
also said the story was “not true.” Two other
Pentagon officials said it’s no surprise that
there would be commanders on the ground
who think having the U.S. go after insurgents
itself would be useful, but that the idea has
not risen through the chain of command to a
point where it is a formal proposal and being
given serious consideration.

anonymity because of the sensitivity of the
issue for Washington-Islamabad relations.
Pakistan has firmly rejected any suggestion
of U.S. assistance and has in the past sternly
protested when the U.S.-led alliance had
crossed the border into Pakistani tribal areas.
On Sept. 30, Pakistan closed a key border
crossing for 10 days, stranding NATO resup-
ply trucks in an apparent protest over a
NATO helicopter incursion that killed two
Pakistani soldiers on the border. During the
closure, almost 150 stranded trucks were
destroyed by attackers.
The U.S. has mainly relied on unmanned
drones to pursue al-Qaida militants based in
Pakistan. A decision to deploy special opera-
tions teams would signal frustration with
Pakistan’s efforts to root out militants who
use its territory as a base to support the
Taliban and other extremists.

Rome police: Device on
subway couldn’t explode
ROME — Police said Tuesday a suspicious
package full of wires and powder that prompt-
ed a terror scare in Rome’s subway during the
Christmas season was a fake made out of
cement-like powder, not explosives.
The device was found at around 10 a.m.
(0900GMT) on Tuesday inside a train at
Rome’s Rebibbia station, on the outskirts of
the Italian capital. The subway car was at the
end of the line and empty when the package
was found, said Atac, which runs the Rome
subway.
Bomb-disposal experts checked the powder
and concluded it was inert and that there was
no trigger mechanism among the wires, cara-
binieri police said in a statement.
Various Italian agencies joined the investi-
gation, but there was no indication they had
any clues about who left the device.
Atac said in a statement the train was in an
area beyond the platform that is used for
maneuvering when the device was found.
UK terror plot aimed at
British landmarks, shopping
LONDON — A large-scale terror attack was
aimed at British landmarks and public spaces,
security officials said Tuesday as more details
emerged and police searched the homes of 12
British suspects being held for questioning.
The men — whose ages range from 17 to 28 —
were arrested Monday in the largest counterterror-
ism raid in nearly two years. At least five were of
Bangladeshi origin.
Lord Carlile, the government’s independent
watchdog for terror legislation, said Tuesday the
alleged plot appeared significant and involved sev-
eral British cities, but he did not identify the tar-
gets. Police have up to 28 days to either charge the
men or release them.
Possible targets that were scouted include the
Houses of Parliament in London and shopping
areas around the U.K., according to a security offi-
cial who spoke to The Associated Press on condi-
tion of anonymity because the investigation was
ongoing.
The plot, however, was unconnected to a larger
European plot uncovered in the fall involving a
Mumbai-style shooting spree in cities across
Britain, France or Germany, the official said.
Monday’s arrests were also unrelated to last
week’s suicide bombing in Sweden and the plot
did not appear to be timed for the holidays, he said.

The gang affiliation caused police to

entry, police said.
The Oakland residence where
Wilkerson lived had no power with

permit to allow for more playing time on
the modern-turfed field and to let youth
sports organizations use the field, which
the city currently prohibits.
“We are in a bit of a conundrum,” uni-
versity spokesman Richard Rossi said yes-
terday. “There is no way we can accept the
council’s action. There has been specula-
tion that we might withdraw the applica-
tion and that is an option. We will have to
look at the final document before we make
any decisions.”
NDNU and the Planning Commission
amended the CUP, first crafted in 2005, to
allow practices and games go as late as 8
p.m. on weekdays and to allow the univer-
sity to open the field up to youth soccer
groups in the city on Sundays.
But a group of neighbors quickly filed an
appeal of the Planning Commission’s
September decision based on the excessive
noise the field generates and the council
took up the matter starting in October.
The old CUP contained language that
allowed for field use up to dusk, a vague
restriction that often involved the police,
the university contends.
Last week, the council voted to allow the
university to keep the field open until only
6:30 p.m. on weekdays and to restrict the
number of Sundays the field can be used.
The council made so many changes to the
permit that it will vote on the final docu-
ment at its Jan. 11 meeting.
“The council is offering fewer hours
with the new CUP,” Rossi said. It is the
opposite of what the university was trying
to achieve, he said.

and “the need for housing in San
Francisco and the Peninsula make it
impossible for many blue collar workers
from sinking family roots in the area,”
he said.
The hiring policy came on the heels of
a now-defunct plan by San Francisco
supervisors to charge $3 tolls to enter
and leave that city during peak times.
The board dropped the idea the same
day it passed the hiring policy after
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
said he would introduce legislation to
ban such a proposal or have San Mateo
County counter with its own toll.
Similarly, Assemblyman Rich
Gordon, D-Menlo Park, is standing with

to police.
The FBI’s Art Crime Team was
brought in immediately to help with the
investigation.
The suspects were located after
Hillsborough police inspector Nick
Chinca was able to track a history of
sales of the stolen car, eventually identi-
fying a suspect who used a stolen identi-
ty to process the sale of the vehicle to an
unsuspecting buyer, according to police.
Once the suspect was identified, a search
warrant for the suspect’s home on the
900 block of MacArthur Boulevard in
Oakland was issued, according to police.
Chinca, while checking Department of
Motor Vehicles records, saw that the title
of Kavanaugh’s Toyota Camry had been
transferred, Gottuso said.
Gottuso tracked down the new owner
of the car and discovered it had been
sold with a stolen driver’s license.
Wilkerson was arrested on possession
of stolen property charges along with
violation of probation and Primrose was
arrested for possession of stolen proper-
ty along with violation of parole. The
third person in the home was a visitor
and was released at the scene, according
to police.

Mayor Coralin Feierbach is not opposed
to NDNU operating under the old condi-
tional-use permit.
“If they feel more comfortable with 2005
than what we did then they can go back to
it,” Feierbach said yesterday. “They will
only be hurting the sports groups. It is up to
them.”
Councilman Warren Lieberman, who
lives within 500 feet of the field, has had to
recuse himself from council discussions on
the permit.
He did, however, express his opinion
about the matter in a guest perspective pub-
lished in the Daily Journal Monday.
In the perspective, Lieberman said
Belmont youth will be the losers if NDNU
withdraws its application.
Lieberman has noted Belmont’s general
lack of playing fields for youth in the city
for years.
“Without having to make any financial
investment, Belmont has the chance to pro-
vide its youth with access to an artificial
turf field year-round. It’s very sad that this
may well not take place,” Lieberman said
in the guest perspective.
The amendments to the CUP approved
by the Planning Commission in September
allow for the Belmont United Soccer Club
and Belmont-Redwood Shores American
Youth Soccer Organization to use Koret. If
NDNU withdraws its application, these
two groups would be prevented from using
the field under the old CUP.
“We are trying hard to do something for
Belmont kids. We don’t want to cut off
kids,” Rossi said.
Last week, NDNU President Judith
Maxwell Greig said the council based its
decisions on how to govern Koret based on
“emotion, personal relationships and
whim.”
The university is currently seeking legal

“We will await publication of the final
document and consider our options,” Greig
said last week.
Two NDNU soccer teams and a lacrosse
team currently have access to the field as
does Notre Dame High School Belmont
sports teams.
The council took up the matter after at
least 35 people signed a letter opposing the
Planning Commission’s decision to let the
university use Koret at later hours during
the week and on Sundays.
Margaret and Ray Davis, representing
the group Belmont Residents for a Tranquil
Community, submitted an appeal of the
Planning Commission decision Oct. 1 at a
cost of $950.
Margaret Davis argued to the council
Oct. 26 that the noise athletes create while
using the field is unhealthy. Davis lives on
Chula Vista Drive on the hill above the uni-
versity. She contends coaches are too loud
and that there is too much cheering during
soccer and lacrosse practice and games.
During public hearings on the matter,
those who favored expanded use on the
field and opening it up to youth sports
groups far outnumbered those who said the
field would be too noisy.
“Unfortunately, it is likely that the fur-
ther restrictions in hours and days of use of
the field will adversely impact the city’s
youth sports groups even more than the
university,” Greig said last week. “At the
urging of city staff those sports groups and
NDNU entered into a good faith agreement
that has now been jeopardized by the coun-
cil’s actions.”
The City Council is expected to take up
the issue at its Jan. 11 meeting.

“The goal to promote local hiring has
merit and should be explored further, but
not my creating new obstacles to the
local workforce,” Quigg wrote.
In a response, San Francisco
Supervisor John Avalos, who authored
the policy, said he had not fully assessed
the level of concern about the San Bruno
jail but was told only about a half-mil-
lion dollars was in question. Avalos
pointed out 80 percent of the workforce
could be non-city residents the first year
and, even at full implementation, half
the jobs were still available.
“Hardly an exclusion especially when
you consider that San Francisco taxpay-
ers are making the investments on these
projects,” Avalos wrote to City Clerk
Angela Louis.

requests for proposals shall be ob-
tained if the expense of the contract is
