Lack of crab ripples through Pillar Point Harbor

Local fishermen, businesses lose valuable season
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Instead of the hustle and bustle

enlivening the docks at Pillar Point
Harbor this time of year, little action
is afoot with hundreds of crab pots sitting idle as fishermen ponder how to
supplement their income while the
popular season remains closed.
The season is already a month
behind schedule and California wildlife
officials remain unsure when it will be
safe for fishermen throughout the state
to start reeling in crab. So far, crabs
testing positive for

high levels of
domoic acid a
neurotoxin potentially hazardous to
humans have
ground the nearly
$60
million
statewide industry
to a halt.
Porter
For many at the
McHenry
harbor just north of
Half Moon Bay, crab season makes up
a large percentage of their annual
income and the lack of a catch is hav-
ing rippling effects. Aside from the

commercial captains whose crews have
gone elsewhere in search of work,
local fish buyers, charter boats, offloading facilities and restaurants are
feeling the sting.
I told my crew: Guys, if you can
find some other work, pick it up.
Because itll probably be at least a
month before we go fishing. If I can
find other work, Ill try it too, said

State Lands Commission discusses failing negotiations for public access

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After nearly a year of working to

reinstate public access to Martins
Beach under more amicable terms, the
State Lands Commission directed staff
to begin investigating eminent
domain proceedings against billionaire property owner Vinod Khosla.
The commission met in Sacramento
Friday to review the status of its efforts
to negotiate an easement providing
the public with a permanent route to
the beloved beach just south of Half
Moon Bay.
As directed through legislation
authored by state
Sen. Jerry Hill, DSan Mateo, the SLC
has until the end of
the year to negotiate access before
its instructed to
consider using eminent domain an
Vinod Khosla authority the state
agency has long
had but never utilized.
Khosla has returned the SLCs offer
to purchase a nearly 6.5-acre easement
for an undisclosed price with a bold
proposal. Hes now asked for the state
to buy him a private beach in exchange
for the entire nearly 50-acre Martins

Beach an unrealistic suggestion to
which
officials
gave little deference.

Public rallies to replace stolen Christmas toys

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Instead of allowing a holiday grinch to

rob Christmas cheer from low-income children on the coast, the community has rallied
to replace more than the $2,000 worth of
toys stolen from a Half Moon Bay church.
Since word of last weeks theft from Our
Lady of the Pillar made the news this
Wednesday, donations have poured in from
individuals and organizations throughout
the Bay Area.
The local Catholic church regularly collects toys and clothes for low-income coastsiders over the holidays and this year plans
to serve 114 families with nearly 250 children, said Nancy Clarkin, organizer of the
giving tree donation and secretary of Our
Lady of the Pillar Saint Vincent de Paul
Society Conference.
Weve had a wonderful response. The
community has really rallied and weve gotten a number of toys from different sources
and people are bringing in donations. Its
really been just terrific, Clarkin said. We
definitely will have recouped everything
that weve lost and beyond. So itll be real-

ly nice to get some extra things for the
kids.
Members of the San Mateo County Toy
Drive a collaboration between the
Sheriffs Office Activities League as well as
the Redwood City police and fire departments dropped off bags of goodies
Thursday to help replace what was stolen.
In addition, the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Office Organization of Sheriffs
Sergeants will donate $1,000 to help the
church purchase any additional toys needed
to support the children, said Deputy Sal
Zuno.
Its nice that although this incident, the
theft, was sad because of the stolen toys,
its nice to see how the community reacts
and comes together to help, Zuno said.
Throughout the past few days, the church
has had some unexpected visitors dropping
by to help out, Clarkin said. People from
San Jose, Sunnyvale and San Mateo made
the trek to the coast to bring donations and

members of a local moms club as well as a
Redwood City gym that had conducted its
own toy drive also contributed, Clarkin
said.
The toys were stolen from a locked storage area behind the church where the gifts
had been wrapped and were awaiting distribution this coming Monday evening. The
unknown suspect hopped a locked fence and
unwrapped numerous gifts before stealing
some of the items collected for children
ranging from infants to 15 years old.
The crime occurred sometime between the
evening of Thursday, Dec. 10, and the morning of Saturday, Dec. 12. The sheriffs ask
anyone with information to come forward.
Clarkin said she bears no ill will toward
the criminal and is continuing to ensure
those who are less fortunate in the coastal
community have a joyous Christmas.
It was [upsetting] at first, but I think
were just trying to stay focused on the generosity of everyone and again, the kids.
Were just thinking about the kids and making sure theyre taken care of, Clarkin said.
Well let the police worry about finding
who did this.
Speeding driver killed in fiery crash near train tracks

By Sara Gaiser
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A speeding pickup truck burst into flames

after a crash near Union Pacific tracks in
South San Francisco Friday afternoon,
killing the driver, according to a railroad
spokesman.
The crash occurred shortly before 4 p.m.
when a truck exited Highway 101 at East
Grand Avenue in South San Francisco at
speeds of nearly 100 mph, according to
Union Pacific spokesman Francisco
Castillo Jr.
The truck missed a turn as it came off the

freeway and struck a fence and a large tree
before coming to a rest sideways next to rail
cars parked on the tracks, Castillo said.
The truck then burst into flames. The
vehicles driver was pronounced dead and
the San Mateo County Coroners Office was
called to the scene, Castillo said.
While the truck caught fire right next to
the empty rail cars, which were being stored
on the spur line, it did not actually hit them,
Castillo said.
The incident did not directly block the
tracks or affect traffic on nearby roads,
Castillo said.
Officials with Caltrain, which shares the

tracks with Union Pacific, said trains were
traveling at reduced speeds through the area
and reported delays of around 20 minutes.
Trains were cleared to return to travel at
maximum speed again just before 6 p.m.,
Caltrain officials said.

Obama vows active role

in 2016 presidential race
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON President Barack

Obama closed his next-to-last year in
office with rare praise for congressional
Republican leaders who helped orchestrate
a bipartisan budget deal Friday, then vowed
to work hard to beat the GOP and get a fellow Democrat elected to succeed him in the
White House.
I do want to thank Congress for ending
the year on a high note, Obama said in his
annual year-end news conference. He singled out former House Speaker John
Boehner for kick-starting the budget
process shortly before leaving Congress
and gave current Speaker Paul Ryan
kudos for seeing the effort through.
The budget package, which staved off a
government shutdown and extended tax
cuts for families and businesses, was finalized shortly before Obama addressed
reporters in the White House briefing room
Friday afternoon. The president quickly
signed the measure into law.
The fiscal agreement capped a year of
milestones for the president including a
historic Iranian nuclear accord, a sweeping
Asia-Pacific trade pact and a global climate

agreement that have been overshadowed
in recent weeks by deadly attacks in Paris
and San Bernardino, California, heightening Americans fears of terrorism.
Obama was stopping in San Bernardino
late Friday to meet with families of the 14
victims on his way to Hawaii for his annual two-week Christmas vacation in his
home state. The California attack by a mar-
ried couple has raised concerns about the

reach of the Islamic State and other terror
groups.
Much of the presidents focus was on outlining plans for his final year in office.
The race to succeed him is well underway
and will consume even more of the publics

Feds: Gun buyer in California faces charge in old plot

By Brian Melley
LOS ANGELES When the FBI went to

speak with a man accused of buying the
assault rifles used by his friend in the San
Bernardino terror attack, they learned about
a sinister plot the two men had crafted years
earlier.
In interviews over 11 days, Enrique
Marquez Jr. willingly told agents how he and
Farook had planned to slaughter students at a
community college they attended and massacre motorists on a gridlocked freeway,
according to court documents.

Marquez, the only person arrested in connection with the Dec. 2
shootings carried out by
Farook and his wife, is
now facing his most serious charge in the plot
that fizzled years ago.

never acted on. The material support provision is sort of the prosecutors weapon of
choice in going after individuals in plots
like this, said William C. Banks, interim
dean the Syracuse University law school.
Theyll have no problem applying that to
this guys activities.
If convicted of the charge, Marquez could
face up to 15 years in federal prison. He also
faces counts related to purchasing a gun used
in the San Bernardino attack and to a sham
marriage to help a Russian relative of
Farook get immigration papers, prosecutors
said.

FDA proposes ban on
indoor tanning for minors
WASHINGTON Anyone under the age of
18 would be barred from using indoor tanning equipment, under a federal proposal to
help reduce skin cancer linked to the
devices.
The Food and Drug Administration also
wants to require tanning bed users to sign
consent forms acknowledging the risks of
the radiation-emitting devices. Tanning
salons and other businesses would have to
collect the forms from customers before
their first tanning session and every six
months thereafter.
Fridays announcement follows years of
prodding by dermatologists and medical
groups for bolder action on indoor tanning,
citing rising rates of skin cancer among
teens and people in their 20s, particularly
women. The leading professional group for
skin specialists applauded the news.
Restricting teens access to indoor tanning and educating all users about the dangers of tanning devices are critical steps to
preventing skin cancer, said Dr. Mark
Lebwohl, president of the American
Academy of Dermatology, in a printed statement.
Painkiller politics: Effort

to curb prescribing under fire
WASHINGTON A bold federal effort to
curb prescribing of painkillers may be faltering amid stiff resistance from drugmakers, industry-funded groups and, now, even
other public health officials.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention was on track to finalize new prescribing guidelines for opioid painkillers
in January. The guidelines though not
binding would be the strongest government effort yet to reverse the rise in deadly
overdoses tied to drugs like OxyContin,
Vicodin and Percocet.
But this highly unusual move the CDC
rarely advises physicians on medications, a
job formally assigned to the Food and Drug
Administration thrust the agency into

Holiday sales pattern skews

online; malls lose some luster
By Anne dInnocenzio
NEW YORK More often shoppers are

making the decision to sit on their couches
rather than head to stores this holiday season.
Online sales growth so far this holiday
season is surpassing growth in sales at
physical stores, according to First Data,
which analyzed online and in-store payments from Oct. 31 through Monday.
Sales growth for stores is up 2 percent,
while online sales rose 4.6 percent, according to First Data, which declined to give
dollar figures, citing proprietary reasons.
Total spending, including sales in both
physical stores and online, climbed 2.4 percent, stronger than the 1.8 percent growth
during the same period last year.
While physical stores still account for the
majority of spending, the uneven growth
between buying at locations and on web-
sites signals the continuation of a big shift

in how U.S. consumers are shopping.
This season, Mother Nature appeared to
provide an extra lift to online sales, analysts said. While unseasonably warm weather has hurt overall sales of cold-weather
items, it appears to be driving more shopping to buy on their PCs or mobile phones
since they dont want to waste a pleasant
day inside a mall.
Store traffic is down everywhere, and its
compounded by the weather, said Steven
Barr, U.S. retail and consumer sector leader
for PwC. We do believe that warm weather
is driving consumers online.
The big question, he asks, is whether
warm weather is the number one reason or a
secondary reason shoppers are heading
online this season.
The overall shift to online spending is
largely due to more retailers working to
improve their websites and offer speedier
delivery on orders placed online.
Data breach sets off charges of

theft in 2016 Democratic race
WASHINGTON The Democratic race for

president unexpectedly exploded with rancor Friday as Hillary Clintons campaign
accused rival Bernie Sanders of stealing millions of dollars worth of information about
potential voters.
Sanders team, meanwhile, accused the
Democratic Party of holding his White
House bid hostage by temporarily barring it
from accessing its own voter data. His campaign filed a lawsuit to get it back and
aggressively tried to turn the allegations
into a political advantage.
This information is really key to our
campaign and our strategy, said Clinton
campaign manager Robby Mook. We are
particularly disturbed right now that they

are using the fact that they stole data as a
reason to raise money for their campaign.
The reaction to the data breach, the depth
of which was debated by all involved, tore
open an ugly fault line between two camps
that had so far engaged in a relatively civil
White House campaign.
On the eve of the partys next presidential
debate, it also thrust into the open longstanding suspicions among Sanders and his
supporters that the national party is unfairly working to support Clintons candidacy.
Clearly, in this case, they are trying to
help the Clinton campaign, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said of the
Democratic National Committee.
WASHINGTON In a chaotic year, when

Republicans in the House unseated a speaker,
Congress produced a significant amount of
bipartisan legislation that affects every
American.
It enacted laws recasting federal education
policy, restricting government access to bulk
phone records, renewing highway and transit
programs and even resolving a longstanding
problem of how Medicare reimburses doctors.
Before leaving town for the year, it sent
President Barack Obama bipartisan legislation Friday financing government agencies
in 2016 and cutting taxes, mostly by extending dozens of expiring levies.
Here are highlights of an eventful year in
Congress:
BUDGET DEAL
A $1.1 trillion spending bill approved
Friday funds the government for the 2016
budget year and extends $680 billion in tax
cuts for businesses and individuals. The deal
a victory for new House Speaker Paul
Ryan, R-Wis. avoids a government shutdown, allows crude oil exports for the first
time in 40 years and extends a huge variety of
tax breaks, including those for college tuition
and renewable energy such as solar and wind
power.
Security Agency. The new law gives private

companies more leeway to publicly report
information about the number of national
security surveillance demands they receive.
DEFENSE
Congress approved a sweeping defenseauthorization bill that includes a troop pay
raise and prohibits transfer of Guantanamo
Bay detainees to the United States.
DOC FIX
Under a bill shepherded by former House
Speaker John Boehner and House Democratic
leader Nancy Pelosi, Congress finally
approved a bipartisan measure that permanently recasts how Medicare reimburses doctors for treating over 50 million elderly people. The $214 billion measure prevented a 21percent cut in physicians Medicare fees, preventing a flood of complaints from doctors
and senior citizens that lawmakers dearly
wanted to avoid.
EXPORT-IMPORT BANK
Congress revived the federal Export-Import
Bank five months after lawmakers allowed it
to expire.
***
Despite those accomplishments, the
Republican-controlled Congress failed on a
number of fronts:
EDUCATION
IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL
Obama signed a sweeping overhaul of the

No Child Left Behind education law, the
biggest education reform since 2002. The
bipartisan law ushers in a new approach to
accountability, teacher evaluations and the
way the most poorly performing schools are
pushed to improve. Students will still take
federally required statewide reading and math
exams, but the law encourages states to limit
time spent on testing and diminishes the
stakes for underperforming schools.
GOP lawmakers failed to block a deal

involving the United States, Iran and five
other world powers that would curb Irans
nuclear activities in exchange for giving Iran
access to billions in frozen assets and oil revenue.
COLLEGE LOANS
Congress extended a federal loan program
that provides low-interest money to the neediest college students.
HIGHWAYS AND TRANSIT

After years of stymied efforts, Congress
approved a bipartisan bill to improve the
nations aging and congested highways and
transit systems. The new law assures states
that federal help will be available for major
projects, although it does not resolve how to
pay for transportation programs in the long
term.
TRADE PROMOTION AUTHORITY

Congress approved a bill granting the president trade promotion authority. The law
allows Congress to ratify or reject trade agreements negotiated by the executive branch,
but not change or filibuster them. Obama has
not submitted to Congress a recently competed trade agreement with 11 Pacific Rim
nations.
SURVEILLANCE
Obama signed into law the USA Freedom
Act, which extends three expiring surveillance provisions of the USA Patriot Act,
passed after the 9/11 attacks on New York and
Washington. The law overhauls the previous
laws most controversial provision, which
had been interpreted to allow bulk collection
of U.S. phone records by the National
PLANNED PARENTHOOD
Congress tried but failed to halt federal payments to Planned Parenthood, after secretly
recorded videos of Planned Parenthood officials discussing tissue donations fueled an
uproar among congressional Republicans and
abortion opponents.
OBAMACARE
Lawmakers tweaked the edges of Obamas
health care law but did not overturn it despite
repeated votes to repeal all or part of Obamas
2010 health care law.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
Congress did not block Obama administration regulations on clean air and water and
was unable to stop Obamas signature environmental accomplishment, a high-profile
plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions from
coal-fired power plants.
KEYSTONE XL
Despite many attempts, Congress again
failed to win approval for the Keystone XL oil
pipeline from Canada. Obama finally rejected
the pipeline last month after seven years of
indecision.
BENGHAZI
House Republicans continued a widely criticized investigation into the deadly 2012
attacks in Benghazi, Libya, which killed four
Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.
An 11-hour hearing featuring Democratic
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton failed
to produce revelations Republicans were
seeking. Clinton was secretary of state when
the attacks occurred.

U.N. endorses peace process for

Syria, but no mention of Assad
By Edith M. Lederer and Cara Anna
UNITED NATIONS U.N. Security

Council
members
unanimously
approved a U.N. resolution Friday
endorsing a peace process for Syria
including a cease-fire and talks between
the Damascus government and the
opposition, but the text makes no
mention of the most contentious issue
the future role of Syrian President
Bashar Assad.
The resolution makes clear that the
blueprint it endorses will not end the
conflict, deep into its fifth year with
well over 300,000 killed, because terrorist groups, including the Islamic
State group and the al-Qaida-linked alNusra Front, are not part of the ceasefire.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry
praised the unprecedented degree of
unity in the council, which has been
stymied in the past over a political
solution in Syria, and called the resolution a milestone.
Foreign ministers from 17 countries
met for more than five hours on how to
implement their call in Vienna last
month for a cease-fire and the start of
negotiations between the government
and opposition in early January. At the
same time, diplomats worked to overcome divisions on the text of the resolution.
The resulting agreement gives the
Syrian people a real choice, not

between Assad and Daesh, but between
war and peace, Kerry said, using the
Arabic acronym for the Islamic State
extremists.
Were under no illusions about the
obstacles that exist ... especially about
the future of President Assad where
sharp differences remain, Kerry said.
He said Assad must go if there is to be
peace in Syria, stressing that Assad
has lost the ability ... to unite the
country.
But Kerry later told reporters that the
United States and the opposition had
eventually realized that demanding

Assads departure up front in the
process was in fact, prolonging the
war.
Kerry, Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov and U.N. special envoy
Staffan de Mistura made clear that the
previously envisioned Jan. 1 start to
peace talks was unlikely. De Mistura
said invitations to the talks will go out
in January, at least.
Kerry said a start to the talks in the
middle or end of the month would be
more reasonable.

Israel: Two Palestinians
killed in attack on Israelis, clashes
TEL AVIV, Israel Israeli police said two Palestinians
were killed on Friday in confrontations and assaults on the
Israeli forces, the latest in three months of near-daily
Palestinian attacks and violence roiling the region.
In one attack, a Palestinian assailant sped in his car
toward Israeli forces who were controlling a riot in the
town of Silwad, near the West Bank city of Ramallah,
according to police spokeswoman Luba Samri.
The Israeli forces took cover behind concrete blocks and
fatally shot the driver, she said, adding that no Israelis
were wounded.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health identified the man as
20-year-old Mohammed Abdel Rahman Ayad from Silwad.
Also, Friday, the military said troops killed a Palestinian
at the border in the Gaza Strip who attempted to breach the
border fence with Israel. The Palestinian Ministry of
Health identified that man as Mahmoud Mohammed Saeed
Alagha, from Khan Younis in Gaza. The militant Hamas
group later said Alagha was a 24-year-old member of the
Hamas.
The military said the man was part of a crowd of 100 people who took part in a violent riot and attempted to damage the fence.
Earlier in the day in the West Bank, an assailant sped
toward soldiers and police at the Qalandiya checkpoint
north of Jerusalem, spokeswoman Samri said. She added
that he got out of his car and started to charge the Israeli
troops.
The attacker a man in his 30s from the West Bank village Turmus Aya was wounded in the leg and arrested,
Samri said. No Israelis were hurt.
Beijing issues second smog red alert of the month

BEIJING Chinas capital Beijing issued its second
smog red alert of the month, triggering vehicle restrictions and forcing schools to close.
A wave of smog is due to settle over the city of 22.5 million from Saturday to Tuesday. Levels of PM2.5, the smallest and deadliest airborne particles, are set to top 500,
according to the official Beijing government website.
That is more than 20 times the level that is considered
safe by the World Health Organization.
Half the citys cars will be forced off the road on any
given day, while barbecue grills and other outdoor smoke
sources will be banned and factory production restricted.
Schools will close and residents advised to avoid outdoor
activities.
On Friday afternoon, the air was relatively good, with a
PM2.5 reading of about 80 and the sun shining brightly
over the city.
However, visibility in some parts of Beijing will fall to
less than 500 meters (1,600 feet) on Tuesday when the
smog will be at its worst, the city government website
said. An almost complete lack of wind would contribute to
the smogs lingering over the city, it said.
Smog red alerts are triggered when levels of PM2.5
above 300 are forecast to last for more than 72 hours.
Although the four-tier smog warning system was
launched two years ago, Beijing had not issued a red alert
until last week, drawing accusations that it was ignoring
serious bouts of smog to avoid the economic costs.

Thailand address slavery
issue in its seafood industry

Teresa on the occasion of her 101st birth anniversary celebrations in Kolkata, India. Mother Teresa
of Calcutta will be made a saint of the Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican.
Mother Teresa to be
made a saint after
pope OKs miracle
By Nicole Winfield
VATICAN CITY Mother Teresa, the

tiny, stooped nun who cared for the poorest
of the poor in the slums of India and
beyond, will be declared a saint next year
after Pope Francis approved a miracle attributed to her intercession.
The Vatican on Friday set no date for the
canonization, but it is widely believed that
it will take place in the first week of
September to coincide with the 19th
anniversary of Mother Teresas death and
during Francis Holy Year of Mercy.
With her work, she was always the symbol of mercy, not just with words but with
her actions, said the superior general of
Mother Teresas Missionaries of Charity,
the Rev. Sebastian Vazhakala.
The Vatican said Francis approved a decree
attributing a miracle to Mother Teresas
intercession during an audience with the
head of the Vaticans saint-making office on
Thursday, his 79th birthday.
The miracle in question concerned the
inexplicable cure of a Brazilian man suffering from a viral brain infection that resulted
in multiple abscesses. By Dec. 9, 2008, he
was in a coma and dying, suffering from an
accumulation of fluid around the brain.
The Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk, the postulator spearheading Mother Teresas canoniza-
tion case, said in a statement Friday that 30 minutes after the man was due
to undergo surgery, he sat
up, awake and without
pain. The surgery did not
take place and a day later
the man was declared to
be symptom-free.
The Vatican
later
Pope Francis
attributed the cure to the
fervent prayers to Mother Teresas intercession by the mans wife, who at the time of
his scheduled surgery was at her parish
church praying alongside her pastor.
This is fantastic news. We are very
happy, said Sunita Kumar, a spokeswoman
for the Missionaries of Charity in the eastern city of Kolkata (earlier called Calcutta),
where Mother Teresa lived and worked.
Born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu on Aug. 26,
1910, in Skopje, Macedonia, Mother Teresa
joined the Loreto order of nuns in 1928. In
1946, while traveling by train from
Calcutta to Darjeeling, she was inspired to
found the Missionaries of Charity order.
The order was established four years later
and has since opened more than 130 houses
worldwide to provide comfort and care for
the needy, sick and poorest of the poor.
Mother Teresa won the Nobel Peace Prize
in 1979 for her work with Calcuttas destitute and ill work which continued even
after she herself became sick.
BRUSSELS The European Union warned

Thailand on Friday that it should promptly
address the human rights and slavery issues
that have dogged its seafood industry if it
wants to stave off an EU seafood import ban.
Several investigative reports by the
Associated Press focused on slavery in the
seafood industry and resulted in the rescue of
2,000 men this year, highlighting longstanding abuses in Thai fisheries.
Thailand is a major exporter of seafood,
with yearly revenues of almost 5 billion
euros ($5.4 billion), and an EU ban would
seriously affect the industry.
EU Fisheries Commissioner Karmenu
Vella said even though the 28-nation bloc
was primarily assessing Thailands
improvements in stamping out illegal fishing, there was no sidestepping the slavery
issue.
Thailand, the worlds third-largest seafood
exporter, was given a warning by the EU in
April to improve its fisheries practices or
face an export ban to the wealthy European
bloc. Annual Thai fish exports to the EU are
estimated to be worth between 575 million
and 730 million euros ($624 million to
$792 million).
We are still assessing whether Thailand
has made sufficient progress in delivering on
the actions it was asked to take in April,
Vella told reporters Friday.
Regarding human rights, slavery on
board and so on yes, apart from the fishing issues, the Commission also believes
that Thailand should also address promptly
the human rights issues, he replied to a

question from the AP.
The EU wants nations to be able to track
their vessels and make sure they declare their
catches to promote sustainable fishing and
counter overfishing. The Commission is not
expected to make a ruling on the Thai issue
until late next month.
Vella spoke during a visit from Ghanean
Fisheries Minister Sherry Ayittey, who
noted that her nation was once penalized
with such a ban.
It was like a wake-up call, Ayittey said.
It was necessary. It helped us to reshape our
own governance of the fisheries sector.
Beyond illegal fishing though, Thailand
also faces the slavery issue.
In the U.S., Congressman Emanuel
Cleaver, a Democrat from Missouri, wrote to
the Labor Department and the Food and Drug
Administration this week demanding investigations after the AP investigated the
shrimp peeling industry as well.
I am deeply concerned for the welfare of
adult and children shrimp peelers in
Thailand, who are forced to work in one of
the most abhorrent slavery schemes of the
21st century, he wrote.
Grocery and seafood organizations, meanwhile, say suppliers have to take responsibility for eliminating labor abuses in the
fishing industry.
In the case of the Thai shrimp industry,
this means that simple audits and inspections of third-party shrimp peeling houses
will not suffice, as corrupt police and
inspectors turn a blind eye to abuses, said
John Sackton in a report for Progressive
Grocer.

NEW YORK Stocks plunged

across all sectors in the heaviest trading of the year Friday as enthusiasm
over a long-awaited increase in U.S.
interest rates faded.
Several other negative factors combined to give the market its second big
loss in a row, bringing the indexes
lower for the week.
Bank stocks, which investors had
bid up in hopes they would become
more profitable as loan rates climbed,
fell the most. Technology shares suffered more declines as a bad December
got worse for Apple. The worlds most
valuable publicly traded company sank
again, bringing its monthly loss to 10
percent.
Overseas, Japans market sank after
that countrys central bank made
changes to a stimulus program that fell
short of what investors were hoping
for. Another drop in energy prices sent
oil stocks lower again, and worries
about weak global growth weighed on
shipping and other transportation
companies.
The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 367.29 points, or 2.1 percent, to 17, 128. 55. The S&P 500
index fell 36.34 points, or 1.8 per-
cent, to 2,005.55. The Nasdaq composite sank 79.47 points, or 1.6 percent, to 4,923.08. All 10 Standard &
Poors 500 sectors fell.
U.S. stock trading was even more
volatile than usual Friday because of
the simultaneous expiration of several
kinds of futures and other contracts
that investors use to place bets on
indexes and individual stocks. As a
result Friday was the busiest trading
day of the year for stocks.
The market ended a tumultuous week
slightly lower. Stocks had rallied over
the first three days and jumped
Wednesday after the Federal Reserve
raised interest rates for the first time in
almost a decade. The move was a vote
of confidence in the U.S. economy.
But over the next two days stocks were
hit by some of the worries that have
dogged them all year, like weakness in
the Chinese economy, slowing global
growth, and skidding prices for energy
and metals.
While the Bank of Japan plans to
spend a bit more on exchange-traded
funds for companies that increase hiring and investment, investors were
hoping for more, according to Ryan
Larson, head of U.S. equity trading for
RBC Global Asset Management.
They were looking for more, and
when the markets disappointed, this
is what you get, he said.
Women out-earn men in corporate finance

By Sarah Skidmore Sell
Women may be badly outnumbered

in the top ranks of corporate America,
but at least they arent underpaid.
Compensation for female chief
financial officers at S&P 500 companies last year outpaced that of their
male counterparts, according to an
analysis by executive compensation
firm Equilar and the Associated Press.
It follows a similar trend seen with
female CEOs in recent years.
The median pay for female CFOs last
year rose nearly 11 percent to $3.32
million. Male CFO pay rose 7 percent,
to $3.3 million. This follows several
years of steady gains for both sexes.
The gains, for both men and women,

are in part a result of the expansion of
the CFO role to include far more
responsibility and visibility.
The CFO is no longer a bean counter, said Josh Crist, managing director
at executive search firm Crist Kolder
Associates.
Companies and shareholders became
more focused on financial security and
regulation after the financial crisis,
and corporate finance began to play a
bigger role in company strategy,
according to Gregg Passin, a compensation expert at consulting firm
Mercer.
Ruth Porat, became one of the most
powerful women on Wall Street while
helping steer Morgan Stanley, one of
the nations biggest investment banks,

through the aftermath of the financial
crisis. She topped the list of highest
paid female CFOs with her $14.4 million pay package from Morgan Stanley
for the 2014 fiscal year.
Google has since lured her away with
a pay deal worth $70 million.
Investors have warmly welcomed her
arrival at Google, where she is expected to bring some financial discipline
to what some consider their freespending ways.
The increased responsibility and
visibility has helped some women
CFOs rise even further, to CEO. Indra
Nooyi, CEO of PepsiCo and Lynn
Good, CEO of Duke Energy are both
former CFOs.
Disney stock falls on downgrade despite Star Wars debut

LOS ANGELES Record-setting

results from Star Wars aside, Disney
shares fell faster than the market slump
Friday after an analyst downgraded the
company, saying it has paid too much
for sports rights and that its actions will
accelerate cord-cutting.
BTIG analyst Rich Greenfield cut Walt
Disney Co. stock to sell from neutral and set a target price of $90.
Disney shares closed down 3.8 percent, or $4.29, at $107.72. That was
worse than the 2.1 percent decline in the
Dow Jones industrial average. Still, the
stock is up 14 percent in the year to
date. Greenfield argues that its flagship
ESPN network paid too much for sports
rights in an effort to thwart rivals Fox
Sports 1 and NBC Sports, which will
trim profitability at cable network operations that represent 44 percent of
Disneys operating income.
Further, he says Disneys licensing of

key content to Netflix has further damaged their and the cable network industrys long-term prospects.
Disneys Marvel has licensed original
series such as Jessica Jones and
Daredevil exclusively to Netflix.
Starting late next year, newly released
Disney, Marvel and Pixar films will also
play on Netflix after Disneys movie
output deal with premium TV channel
Starz expires.
The global market went into a similar slide two weeks ago, when the
European Central Bank ramped up its
stimulus efforts but didnt do nearly as
much as expected. Stocks rallied after
ECB President Mario Draghi said the
bank is ready to expand its stimulus
program further if needed.
Those slumps show that investors
will continue keeping an eye on the
words and deeds of central banks in
struggling Europe and Japan as well as
the U.S. for the foreseeable future.
The Federal Reserve had kept interest rates near zero for seven years. Fed
Chair Janet Yellen emphasized that
despite the boost, interest rates will
remain low for some time. That
pleased investors overall, but it eventually put pressure on bank stocks.
Banks will benefit from higher interest rates and have and have rallied over
the last few months, but the initial
benefits wont be great.
Goldman Sachs dropped $7.12, or
3.9 percent, to $175.49 and ETrade
Financial lost $1.13, or 3.8 percent,
to $28.82. Citigroup gave up $1.63,
or 3.1 percent, to $51.21.
Tech stocks also slumped. Apple fell
$2.95, or 2.7 percent, to $106.03.
The stock has fallen 10 percent in
December and has risen only three
days this month. Microsoft fell $1.57,
or 2.8 percent, to $54.13.

Shkreli resigns as Turing
CEO after securities fraud arrest
TRENTON, N.J. The pharmaceutical executive reviled
for price-gouging resigned Friday as head of the drugmaker
Turing Pharmaceuticals, a day after being arrested on
charges of securities fraud related to a company he previously ran.
Martin Shkreli, whose arrest delighted countless people
appalled by his unapologetic stance after hiking the price
of a life-saving drug by 5,000 percent, is being replaced on
an interim basis by Ron Tilles, according to a statement
issued Friday by Turing, which is privately held.
Tilles has been chairman of Turings board of directors
since the company was founded late last year. Turing said
that Tilles will continue to hold the board chairman position as well. He has worked at numerous private equity and
venture capital firms in the pharmaceutical and medical
device industries over the last two decades.
Isis Pharmaceuticals changes name to Ionis

NEW YORK Isis Pharmaceuticals Inc., which shares a
name with the Islamic State extremist group, has changed
its name to Ionis Pharmaceuticals after resisting to do so
for some time.
The developers old name was a distraction, said Dr. Amy
Williford, the companys associate director of corporate
communications. Every time the Islamic State was in the
news, the drugmaker would be flooded with questions from
the media, she said. Islamic State, commonly known by its
acronym ISIS, has claimed responsibility for several violent attacks around the world, including the gun and bomb
massacres in Paris last month.

Burlingame knocks off Serra

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The high school basketball season is only

three weeks old, but there was a playoff atmosphere in the Burlingame gym Friday night.
Friday was the annual non-league matchup
between the Panthers and Serra and you didnt
need to know anything about the teams to know
what the game meant to each.
When the final buzzer sounded, the
Burlingame student section rushed the floor to
celebrate a 66-55 Panthers win.

Serra marked the loss by having one of its
players punch and smash a window to the
Burlingame weight room, which doubles as the
visitors locker room.
These (wins over Serra) dont come often,
said Burlingame coach Pete Harames, who has
now beaten Serra four times in his coaching
career the previous win coming during the
2013-14 season.
For the Panthers, the win is a validation of
sorts. Serra is not only the top program in San
Mateo County, it is one of the best programs in

the Central Coast Section. Any time a county
team can beat the Padres, its a feather in its cap.
It felt like a state (playoff) game, said
Burlingames Tyler Garlitos, a former Serra student who scored a game-high 29 points.
[This win] proves our worth.
Burlingame (5-1 overall) beat Serra (2-2) at
its own game Friday night. The Panthers outscrapped the Padres, our-rebounded them and
generally out-played them all night.
Our defense was amazing. Everyone was hus-
tling, Garlitos said.

Garlitos got off to a quick start and he stayed
in the zone all game long. He tied the game at 2
on a tip in and the first of his five 3-pointers
gave Burlingame a 9-7 lead with 4:50 to play in
the first quarter an advantage they would not
relinquish the rest of the game.
Garlitos was hardly alone, however. Point
guard Vinnie Ferrari electrified the crowd with a
pair of rainbow 3s to end the first quarter on his
way to a 15-point outing.

Gators run to success

Lapitu Mahoni is just the latest in a series of elite RBs for SHP
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Sacred Heart Prep looks to bring home the

programs first ever state title Saturday in San
Diego, and running back Lapitu Mahoni will
have a chance to set a school rushing record
in the process.
The Gators travel to Rancho Bernardo to
play for the CIF Division III-A championship, a new division in the restructured
high school playoff format in California.
With Mahoni currently sitting at 1,652 rushing yards this year, in puts the senior within
striking distance of SHPs all-time singleseason rushing record of 1,705 yards, set by
Matt Walter in 2009.
Gators head coach Pete Lavorato said there
was no pomp and circumstance surrounding
Walters record-setting season, because he
was not aware at the time there was a singleseason mark on the line. Now, the only pomp
and circumstance in which Lavorato is interested is winning the state title.
The only record I care about is winning,
Lavorato said.
Last Saturday, when SHP won its second
Northern California championship in three
years, Mahoni moved into second place on
the programs career rushing list. Mahoni
carried 16 times for 97 yards in a 56-20 win
over McClymonds-Oakland, improving his
career mark to 2,355 yards. He surpassed
Andrew Segres mark of 2,265 career rushing
yards, which he did between 2011-13.
Walter is SHPs all-time career rushing
leader, a record that is well out of reach of
Mahoni, at 3,560 yards which he totaled
from 2007-09.
We ran more fullback plays because
[Walter] was so fast, Lavorato said. He was
a good fullback because he was so fast.
In his 13 years at the helm of the Gators,
Lavorato has seen the fly offense he installed
flourish. A former Canadian Football League

Carr leads Raiders against Rodgers, Packers

By Josh Dubow
OAKLAND James Jones saw greatness

in Derek Carrs future from the moment he
first saw him throw the ball.
Jones compared Carr to his old MVP quarterback in Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers, even
as Carr struggled at times as a rookie with
the Oakland Raiders. Jones, who had
worked out with Carr during summers at
Fresno State, saw eerie similarities with the
way the two threw the ball.
The first time I saw him throw, its just
natural, Jones said. Its the flick of the
wrist. He has all the tools it takes to be a
special player. The way he throws it, man, I
call him Baby A-Rod because its just no
effort at all into it, flick of the wrist and he
can make every throw.
Carr has started to give some credibility
to those lofty compliments, matching
Rodgers in touchdown passes and many
other categories in a breakthrough second
season. Jones, who returned to the Packers
this season, will get to see that improvement firsthand Sunday when Green Bay (94) visits Oakland (6-7).
He looks a lot more comfortable out
there, Jones said. Hes picking and
choosing where he wants to throw the ball.
He can fit the ball to into tight spots so he
doesnt have any fear about where hes
throwing it or how hes

going to throw it. Hes
going to be a special
player.
Carr downplays the
comparisons with a
player who has won two
MVP awards and one
Super Bowl, saying he
has done far too little
Derek Carr
even to be mentioned in
a conversation with
Rodgers.
But the two have put up
awfully similar statistics
this year with. Each has
28 TD passes, while Carr
has a slightly higher
completion percentage
and yards per attempt
Aaron Rodgers while Rodgers has
thrown fewer interceptions and has a slightly edge in passer rating.
But beyond the stats are some similarities
in style with both players comparable in
size, arm strength and athleticism.
I definitely understand style-wise that
kind of stuff, because in college, Aaron was
one of my favorites watching him, because
of the way he played, Carr said. I tried to
emulate some of the stuff that he did.
Here are some other things to watch when
the Packers visit the Raiders:
Playoff chances
The Packers can clinch a franchise-record
seventh straight playoff berth with a win
and remain ahead of Minnesota in the NFC
North race. Green Bay also can get in with a
loss if Tampa Bay loses, along with either
Washington or the Giants. The Raiders need
to win their final three games and then get
plenty of help since they trail three teams
in the AFC wild-card race by two games.
Revenge game
Woodson was cut by Green Bay three
years ago when the Packers decided he was
no longer worth his salary at his age. Now
at 39, Woodson is still performing at a high
level. He has five interceptions and three
fumble recoveries to rank second in the
league with eight takeaways to show the
Packers and the rest of the league they wrote
him off too soon.
It wasnt just the Packers thinking I
couldnt play anymore, he said. There
were a lot of people. I didnt have a lot of
people knocking my door down trying to
sign me. Its good to try to prove it to
everybody.
Revenge game part 2

Woodson isnt the only player going up
against a team that gave up on him. The

Raiders cut Jones this offseason after signing Michael Crabtree and drafting Amari
Cooper. Jones has enjoyed his reunion with
Rodgers, posting a career-high 18.9 yards
per catch and tying for the team lead with
seven TD receptions.
Im not trying to go in there and catch a
million balls and say, I told you so. Why
did you cut me? Jones said. Nah, I just
want to play a good game.
Milestone watch
A few Raiders are closing in on some
notable milestones, led by rookie Cooper.
Cooper needs 80 yards receiving to become
the first Raider since Randy Moss in 2005
to reach 1,000 for a season. Carr needs two
TD passes to join Daryle Lamonica as the
only Raiders with 30 in a season. Khalil
Mack is two sacks shy of matching Derrick
Burgess franchise record of 16 set in 2005.
Long snappers
For the first time since 2005, the Raiders
will go into a game without Jon Condo as
their long snapper after he went down with
a season-ending shoulder injury. Condo had
played 141 straight games since taking
over as long snapper to start the 2006 season. The Raiders signed Thomas Gafford,
who was released last month by Chicago.
Gafford has played 116 career games.
Bengals have plenty to play for against 49ers

SANTA CLARA AJ McCarron remembers

most of the things about his first college start
at Alabama in 2011, especially his two interceptions in a 48-7 win over Kent State.
First starts are unforgettable.
So will be the Cincinnati Bengals game on
Sunday at San Francisco with a chance to
clinch their second AFC North title in three
years and fifth straight playoff berth. The second-year quarterback gets to make his first
NFL start in place of the injured Andy Dalton.
He had his first significant playing time
last Sunday when Dalton broke his right
thumb during a 33-20 loss to the Steelers.
McCarron, a two-time national champion at
Alabama, threw a pair of interceptions in a
showing that reminded him of that game
against Kent State.
It was just an unreal experience, kind of
like Sunday was, McCarron said.
In addition to leading the Bengals (10-3) to
the playoffs, McCarron has a chance to end a
long streak of Bama futility when he faces the

49ers (4-9). No quarterback from Alabama has
won an NFL start since Jeff Rutledge in 1987.
As for the history? Thats history,
McCarron said.
Oh, the Niners know McCarrons history all
right.
You go back to the preseason games and
youre obviously aware of him from his college career, coach Jim Tomsula said. Hes a
talented guy. He can throw the football. He
can run their offense, you know that.
Its doubtful San Francisco will have a problem with overlooking an opponent this week,
as a couple of players said might have been
the case at lowly Cleveland last week, when
linebacker Ahmad Brooks suggested his team
might have been big-headed in the 24-10
defeat.
Here are some things to watch for Sunday:
That Bama drought

In the past 25 years, Alabama has won four
national championships and seven SEC

titles, produced two Heisman Trophy winners
and hundreds of NFL players but no winning NFL quarterback. Since Rutledge led the
Giants to a 20-14 win over the Eagles in
1987, Alabama quarterbacks are 0-13 in NFL
starts Rutledge 0-2, Greg McElroy 0-1 and
Brodie Croyle 0-10, according to STATS.
Protecting Gabbert
Nine sacks. The number is glaring even
if Blaine Gabbert caused three of them himself
by running out of bounds.
Nine sacks is unacceptable, said left guard
Alex Boone, who will miss Sundays game
with a sprained MCL in his right knee and
might be done for the year.
I think it was an offensive thing. I think a
lot of people are obviously going to think the
offensive line sucks but at the end of the day
when you watch the film, theres 11 guys out
there playing and everybodys responsible to
do their job.
Run it
The Bengals managed only 64 yards rushing against the Steelers, putting pressure on
McCarron to throw a lot. Jeremy Hill had only
16 yards on seven carries 12 of them on
one play. The Browns ran for 230 yards
against the 49ers last Sunday, something the
Bengals would like to emulate with a young
quarterback.
Defensive doings
San Franciscos front seven met Wednesday
as a unit and held an open discussion about the
mistakes and timing issues the 49ers had last
week.
The 49ers gave up 481 yards to the 3-10
Browns Clevelands second-highest offensive total of the season.

Jarryd Hayne embracing Sharks fall

the 49ers practice squad to Ottawa
By Chris Biderman
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP)

The 49ers thought so highly of
former Australian rugby league
star Jarryd Hayne that he was their
opening night punt returner
despite playing football for just
over seven months.
But after three fumbles on punt
returns, including his rst ever
attempt in the season opener,
Hayne now nds himself on the
practice squad.
He needs to learn how to play
football,
said
Thomas
McGaughey Jr., the 49ers rstyear special teams coach. To
learn how to run and cover kicks
and protect punts. That kind of
stuff, thats going to be invaluable
for him with his overall skill
development.
Hayne
was
released on
Halloween after appearing in six
games before clearing waivers and
signing to the practice squad two
days later. He broke camp as the
teams punt returner after averaging over 18 yards on returns in the
preseason thanks to his quick feet
and elusiveness in the open eld.
If I could
come this far in
seven months,
just ve me 12
or 14, Hayne
said.
With his preseason
performance,
Jarryd Hayne Hayne became
one
of
Australias biggest sports stories
after converting from the National
Rugby Leagues Parramatta Eels,
where he was one of the countrys
biggest stars.
Hayne exceeded his initial goal
by making the 49ers roster for
Week 1. He was disappointed
about his demotion, but is embracing his opportunity on the practice squad, where hes received
more practice reps than he did as
the fourth-string running back.
Its denitely been a great year.
I overachieved what I ever expected, Hayne said. I think what
people dont realize that every day
for me is like a month to everyone
else because of the way I pick
things up and the way I learn.
I just feel like in these short six
weeks that Ive been on the practice squad, I learned so much. There

was two weeks where I literally

took every single rep in the lookcard squad. That was huge. The
most reps I took in a row (before
that) was probably three or four.
Hayne fumbled his rst attempt
at a punt return in the teams Week
1 win over the Vikings, and then
again against Green Bay in Week 4
and the Ravens in Week 6.
He just needs to learn the game
from the inside and out, said
McGaughey.
The 49ers dealt with injuries to
their top three running backs, losing Carlos Hyde to a stress fracture
in his left foot and Reggie Bush to
knee surgery for the season.
Rookie Mike Davis was placed on
injured reserve with the return designation after surgery to repair a
fracture in his hand.
All the while, San Francisco
passed over chances to bring
Hayne back to the active roster,
instead opting for Shaun Draughn
and Travaris Cadet, who were free
agents after being released by the
Browns and Patriots, respectively.
Im starting to realize when to
play slow and when to play fast,
Hayne said. Thats what the best
do.
OTTAWA, Ontario Ottawa got

chances when they were most needed.
Bobby Ryan had a goal and an
assist and the Senators scored three
times in the third period to beat the
San Jose Sharks 4-2 on Friday
night for their fourth straight home
win.
Craig Anderson made 31 saves to
help Ottawa win for the second time
in ve games. The Senators have
won just two of their past ve
games.
Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Chris
Wideman and Erik Karlsson all
scored in the third period.
We had chances, Ryan said.
We got a lot of shots in there and
there a lot of positives for us to
build on.
Joe Thornton and Brent Burns
had the goals for the Sharks, and
Alex Stalock made 31 saves.
Pageau started and nished the
play that gave the Senators a 2-1
lead 8:22 into the third period.
After Pageaus faceoff win, Cody
Ceci took a shot, and then Dave
Dziurzynski red the rebound back
at net. Stalock got a piece of
Dziurzynskis shot but left the

rebound right on the goal line for
Pageau to poke in.
I dont know if I stole it from
(Dziurzynski), I wish he would have
scored but when its 1-1 like that
you want to make sure its in,
Pageau said. He made a good play
to spin around and take a shot on
net, but I guess I stole it.
Wideman got the eventual winner
and Karlsson provided some insurance with goals later in the period.
Feels good to get anything at
this point, Wideman said of his
rst goal in 15 games. Ive had a
lot of shots the last couple of
games, I saw a little day light and it
got through. I think it was a huge
win.
Burns closed out the scoring with
2:24 left. The Sharks also lost 5-4
to the Toronto Maple Leafs on
Thursday night.
We came out, for back-to-back
games the way we wanted to,
Sharks defenseman Paul Martin
said. We were able to control some
of the play and we had our moments
but in the third we gave them some
opportunities with some odd-man
rushes and they capitalized.

Center Bassel Mufarreh also had a big game.

Not only did he score 15 points, he did a tremendous job on Serras 7-foot Jack Wilson, who
finished with 6 points and 4 rebounds.
Those three combined to score all 20 of the
Panthers first-quarter points as they built a 2015 lead after one period of play.
A Jake Killingsworth 3-pointer to open the
second quarter cut the Serra deficit to 20-18, but
the Padres would go more than four minutes
without scoring another point.
Burlingame, meanwhile, scored 10 unanswered points, with sophomore guard Gavin
Coleman draining a 3 to put the Panthers up 3018 with 3:29 to play in the half.
Serra got untracked a little bit over the final
couple minutes of the second quarter, closing on
a 7-2 run to trail 32-25 at halftime.
Serras Lee Jones did his best to keep his team
close, scoring nine of his 18 points in the first
half.
In the second half, Burlingame not only
maintained its advantage, it extended it. The
halftime break didnt slow down Garlitos, who
scored five of the Panthers first seven points of
the third quarter as they never let their lead get
smaller than nine points in the quarter and led
by 11, 47-36, going into the final eight minutes.
After Jones waltzed down the middle of the
lane for an easy layup to start the fourth quarter,
the Padres, once again, went cold. They didnt
score again until a Killingsworth dunk with
3:44 to play which cut the Serra deficit to 17,
57-40.
Killingsworth also finished with 18 points.
And of course Garlitos had a major hand in the
Panthers pushing their lead, scoring 12 points
in the fourth.
When he drained his second 3-pointer of the
quarter to put his team up 57-38 with 3:57 left,
The game stayed tight from there before

Curry used a slick crossover to score a layup
that put the Warriors up for good with just
over two minutes left. Curry got a steal on
Milwaukees next possession and made two
free throws and then fed Andre Iguodala for a
3-pointer from the corner to make it a sevenpoint game and seal the win.
Klay Thompson added 27 points and Green
had 21 points, nine rebounds and eight
assists.
Michael Carter-Williams scored 24 points
and Giannis Antetokounmpo added 20 for the
Bucks, who have lost five of six but have
been Golden States toughest opponent to
date.
The Warriors talked payback for the loss
and Carter-Williams boisterous celebration
following a late dunk that riled up Golden
State. But instead of a revenge-fueled blowout
some expected, Carter-Williams scored 13
points in the opening quarter for his second
highest-scoring first quarter of his career to
help Milwaukee take a 36-33 lead.
The Bucks extended that lead to 12 points
at the half as they were able to pick apart
Golden States defense and shoot 60 percent
in the highest-scoring first half against the
Warriors since Oklahoma City scored 71 on
Jan. 17, 2014.
GATORS
the Edmonton Oilers, Lavorato won five
Grey Cups as a defensive back with the
Edmonton Eskimos between 1975-81 he
has seen the fly offense succeed through
many incarnations.
With Walter in the backfield until 2009,
the Gators used a fullback-intensive look. By
2010, when they captured their first Central
Coast Section title, the fly offense returned
to its more prototypical three-pronged
attack, with Colin Tendrup rushing for 1,486
yards, Pedro Robinson rushing for 1,013
yards and Tyler McCool rushing for 811
yards.
We were more of a running team than we
were a passing team back then, Lavorato
said.
The 2010 season was also the last time the
Gators saw two running backs surpass the
1,000-yard rushing plateau until this season,
when Mahoni and junior Isoa Moimoi did so
with Moimois career-high 165-yard performance against McClymonds last
Saturday.
NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
Burlingames Bassel Mufarreh scores two of his 15 points in the Panthers 66-55 win over Serrra.
he said he was pretty confident the Panthers
would come away with the win.
I knew I had to go out with the win, Garlitos
said. When I hit that last 3, I kind of knew that
it was in the bag.
Ferrari, who did not score in the second and
had only two points in the third quarter after
dropping eight points in the opening period,

all but sealed the game from the free-throw line,
hitting on 5 of 6.
I think [the win] is good for the club,
Harames said. Now people will start looking at
us (as being a good team). I think it builds our
confidence.
SHP has relied more on a two-back system

this season, with Moimoi serving generally
as tailback and Mahoni at fly back. But part
of Moimois recent success each of his
three triple-digit rushing games this season
have come over SHPs last three playoff
games are due to his getting reps at the fly
back spot.
Isoa, man, he ran hard, Lavorato said of
last Saturdays performance. We put him at
fly back every on in a while. He liked that.
The reason the Gators havent needed to
rely on the third running back to get to where
they are this season is the success of quarterback Mason Randall. The senior has an outside shot at becoming the first quarterback in
SHP history to reach the 3,000-yard passing
mark, albeit it will take a career night to do
it.
Randall currently has 2,646 yards on the
season, leaving him 354 yards shy of the 3K
benchmark. Throughout his three-year varsity career, he has only surpassed the 300-yard
mark once, when he threw for a career-high
384 yards Sept. 19 against Salinas.
Putting up those kinds of numbers is going
to be a challenge against the Rancho
Bernardo defense. The Broncos have allowed
an average of 14.3 points per game this season. The last two games through the CIF
bracket has seen the Rancho Bernardo

defense budge though.
Two weeks ago, in the Southern California
semifinals against Mt. Carmel, the Broncos
won 41-23. Then last Saturday, Rancho
pulled off a fourth-quarter comeback to defeat
Oak Hills 31-30 for the So Cal championship. It was the most points the Broncos
have surrendered since Nov. 8, 2013, when
they capped a regular-season in which they
posted 1-9 record with a 34-31 loss to rival
Poway.
Since then, Rancho has seen a 180-degree
turnaround, posting a cumulative 22-5 record
over the past two seasons. The Broncos have
won back-to-back Palomar League titles in
that time, and are currently riding an eightgame winning streak since dropping their
Palomar League opener to Westview 20-17
on Oct. 9.
The Broncos feature the Palomar Leagues
2015 rushing champion in junior tailback
Milan Grice, who has gained 1,742 yards
this season, ranking sixth in the San Diego
Section.
Rancho Bernardo is all tailback,
Lavorato said.

TV sports reporter claims
age and gender discrimination
LOS ANGELES TV personality Colleen Dominguez
alleges that Fox Sports 1, her employer for more than a year,
was guilty of age and gender discrimination when it withheld
assignments and refused to air those she initiated on her own.
In a complaint filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for
the Central District of California, Dominguez claims she was
hired as a key sports personality with experience in most
major sports.
Fox Sports 1, in an email from Vice President Dan Bell, said
the company was declining comment.
Dominguez, 54, said she worked for NBC Network News
from 1996 to 2003, for ESPN from 2003 to 2014. Ten months
before her contract expired, she said she was recruited by Fox
and she signed a contract with them on March 1, 2014.
When some of her interviews were rejected, she says she was
told those would muddy the waters for other reporters.
She emailed the companys president and he promised to
look into it, but she says she never heard back from him.
She quoted one Fox producer, who sent her a text that said:
you havent done anything wrong at all. Just because 5 men at
a company want to be gratified by 24-year-old women doesnt
make you bad at your job.
Her lack of assignments and rejection of interviews she initiated cut down on her exposure and will cut down on her future
income, she said.

Cure bowl hits home for both

San Jose State, Georgia State
By Carl Kotala
Here are some things to watch in Saturdays Cure Bowl

matchup between San Jose State (5-7) and Georgia State (66):
ORLANDO, Fla. They may have come to Florida to

play a football game, but for both San Jose State and the
Georgia State the inaugural Cure Bowl is about more than
what takes place on the eld.
The game, set for Saturday night at the Orlando Citrus
Bowl, offers a platform to bring more awareness to breast
cancer. Money raised from the contest will directly benet
the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, which funds cancer
research.
It needs to be talked about, said Georgia State linebacker Joseph Peterson, whose aunt is a cancer survivor.
Its a big thing to play in a game like this. We are all very
proud to be a part of it.
The games cause couldnt be more personal to San Jose
State safety Simon Connette, who lost his mother, Nancy,
to cancer last spring.
Connette, who wears a breast cancer awareness wrist
band, said the memory of his mother is with him every single day, and every second.
Just to be a part of this and knowing that it is supporting
such a good cause, really means a lot to me because I dont
want anyone to feel what I and my family have to feel,
Connette said.
Unfortunately, Connette is not the only Spartan whose
life has been touched by the disease. Amy Rodriguez, the
mother of punter Michael Carrizosa, has cancer as well.
Five members of Georgia State coach Trent Miles family
have had cancer, including his mother, who is ying in for
Saturdays game.
Playing in a game like this, for a cause like this is bigger than us, Miles said.
Are we ready?
MCCAFFREY
300-pound defensive end has been projected as a top-10 pick in

next years NFL draft after deciding to remain with the Ducks for
his senior season this year.
I think Ive had a really good career here at Oregon, its been
fun, its been a good ride, its been too fast, Buckner said. I just
want to go out with everybody knowing I give it my all every
time.
Leach led an improbable turnaround in Pullman to earn coaching honors.
After 11 straight losing seasons, the Cougars were not expected to make many waves in the Pac-12 this season, picked to nish fth in the Pac-12 North.
But behind Leach and Luke Falk, the rst-team all-Pac-12 quarterback, Washington State was one of the conferences biggest
surprises, knocking off Oregon, Arizona and UCLA on the road.
The Cougars nished the regular season 8-4 their most wins
since 2003 and earned a spot in the Sun Bowl against Miami.
We had a lot of guys that had never played a game before and I
think the adjustment to the moment being out there, it took us a
few games to adjust to that, Leach told a Florida radio station this
week. But we had a great work ethic and just got better and better.

Barry Sanders 27-year-old record for all-purpose yards in a season. McCaffrey nished with 3,496 total yards and though
Sanders set the mark in two fewer games, it was still an impressive feat for the 6-foot, 201-pound sophomore from Stanford
who also was the rst-team all-purpose player.
This is an historic year, Shaw said. He did something that no
one has ever done and has done it better than everyone who has
ever won a Heisman. Its phenomenal.
Conference champion Stanford led the voting with six rstteam selections, followed by Utah with four. Joining McCaffrey
on the rst team for the Cardinal were tackle Kyle Murphy, center
Joshua Garnett, tight end Austin Hooper, defensive end Aziz
Shittu and linebacker Blake Martinez.
Buckner was named an All-American and picked up the Pac-12
defensive player of the year vote after leading Oregon with 16
tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks and 76 total tackles. The 6-foot-7,
The Spartans were one of three schools with losing

records to get a bowl bid with the announcement coming,
ironically, during their year-end team banquet. While the
Spartans have been trying to prepare for the game, coaches
were on the road recruiting and players were taking nals up
until Wednesday. Nevertheless, Spartans coach Ron
Caragher said he felt comfortable the team had established
the fundamentals that will have them prepared to play
Saturday.
Air Arbuckle
Georgia State quarterback Nick Arbuckle ranks fth in
FBS in passing yards (346.7 per game) and is 95 yards away
from breaking the Sun Belt Conference single-season passing record of 4,254 yards set by Troys Levi Brown in 2009.
Arbuckle will take on a talented San Jose State secondary.
A lot of times we have seen defenses on lm that are good
defenses, but will have mental lapses and make mistakes
and let receivers run wide open, Arbuckle said. You dont
see that a lot from their defense.
Swervin Ervin
Expect San Jose State running back Tyler Ervin to get the
ball a lot. The senior rushed for 300 yards on 42 carries
against Fresno State earlier this season. He also had 263
yards on 36 rushes against New Mexico State, making him
the only back in the FBS this season to have at least two
games of rushing for more than 250 yards.

sors dont want to pay very much,

Anderson said, noting distributors may pay
less next year if theyre still trying to
offload frozen crab.
Anderson said he typically makes 90 percent of his income by Jan. 1 and has spent
years selling product off the boat to eager
visitors who delight on crab for the holidays. But thats not the case this year and
surrounding business that typically benefit from visitors may be missing out as
well.
Its costing everybody to sit around and
wait in case something happens. But theres
no money in the harbor, Anderson said.
Without the fisheries here, all those people coming to buy fish and coming to see
what the fishermen are doing and people
that like to walk the docks without that,
everybody in the community is hurting.
McHenry agreed, noting local restaurants, gas stations and the three companies
that rent off-loading facilities at the end of
the dock are missing out.
McHenrys family also rents space from
the San Mateo County Harbor District where
crabbers typically pull up after a long haul
and offload their catch. His father rented an
extra forklift that is unlikely to see much
use, McHenry said.
CRAB
Seafood Marketing Association. You try
and stay in high spirits because theres
nothing you can really do about it. But living around here is tough; the rent is so high,
everything is so expensive.
Whether its working a construction site
or cleaning pools, McHenry and fisherman
Jim Anderson said many who would typically be helping to pull in crab this time of
year are elsewhere.
Because unlike the fickle weather and
shifting algae bloom credited for the toxin,
the bills dont stop coming. Many have
already paid for this years permits to go
crabbing, the deadline to move the pots out
of storage has passed and the bills to dock
their boats are still due.
Slip fees are coming up, license fees are
coming up, so not having an income is
hurting quite a bit, said Anderson, a member of the states Dungeness Crab Task
Force.
Widespread impact
With an already poor salmon season
plagued by the long-standing drought,
Anderson said he and many others were
counting on bountiful crab coinciding with
strong seasonal demands. But now more
than a month past when commercial season
typically opens, Anderson said the effects
could last through next year.
Weve already lost the Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Years markets, which is
the majority of the market. So the only
place the crab would go is to the frozen market or the can, and it sounds like the proces-
Missing fees, revenue

Hundreds of crab pots that would normally
be out at sea are instead stacked in a nearby
parking lot managed by the Harbor District
which typically only allows them to
remain stored there until Dec. 15. Now, the
local fishermens association is seeking
some reprieve due to the extenuating circumstances.
The district, which owns Pillar Point
Harbor and manages Oyster Point
Marina/Park, is also missing out on fees it

would normally collect from off-loading

crab.
Tom Mattusch, a charter boat captain and
president of the districts Board of
Commissioners, said businesses like his
are suffering as well.
Instead of the typically packed sport tours
he runs for individuals seeking an afternoon
of crabbing, hes lucky to take out a handful
of spectators, Mattusch said.
Its really tough to even put the boat out
with so few people on it. But my deckhand
has to pay rent, Mattusch said. Ive never
seen this ever happen to the crab season.
And the thing is, its not something we can
plan for either because we had expected a
season.
Waiting for safe crabs

But for all involved in the business one
thing is for sure, no one knows exactly
when or if the crab will flush out before the
season closes June 30. Just as important,
everyone wants to make sure
its safe.
The Department of Fish
and Wildlife has been regularly testing the crab with
varying results throughout
the state.
In November, crab pulled
from the Half Moon Bay and
San Francisco waters tested
clean. But as of Dec. 8, its
crept back up to 33 percent
of the nine crabs caught testing for high levels of
domoic acid, according to
the department.
Were seeing areas of
floating increases. Areas
that were safe for a couple
weeks, now all of a sudden
19
have elevated domoic acid content,

Mattusch said.
Whether fishermen in states further north
will be able to pick up crab is yet to be
determined, Anderson said. But its difficult
for most to participate as traversing state
lines means waiting 30 days before a boat
can return to fishing in California,
Anderson said.
So for now, they wait. They wait to see
what course Mother Nature has in store.
Were still holding out hope that maybe
the crab will turn good and get out in a
month or so and make a season of it. But the
market, well well see the long-term effects
on that; maybe deal with lower prices, lower
income. Im sure it will be lower, so its
harder to buy new gear or do the projects
youd like to do on the boat. Some of that
you expect, because its fishing and you
have your off years, said McHenry, who
started fishing with his dad 13 years ago.
Ive seen some bad seasons, but I havent
seen a no season before.
Ready to upgrade your cookie

baking? Weve got your pro tips
By Alison Ladman
No matter how ambitious your holiday

cookie baking plans are, chances are good
you wont be cranking out the massive
quantities most professional bakers are
prepping for this holiday season. But that
doesnt mean you cant borrow and benefit from their pro-grade tips that help
them turn mountains of dough into armies
of cookies.
FRESHNESS COUNTS
If you dont bake often, your baking soda
and baking powder may be past their prime.
And that means your cookies wont have the

right puff. If you cant recall when you
bought them, splurge on new ones. Or test
them by combining a little with vinegar. If
the mixture gets foamy, youre good to go.
You also want to check your ingredients
for rancidity. Nuts, seeds and some flours
can turn rancid, meaning the fats have gone
bad. Test nuts and seeds by taste before you

put them in your cookies. If they have a
funky or off taste, toss them. Rancid flours
will smell off, so just take a whiff. And the
best way to prevent this is to store wholegrain flours, nuts and seeds in the freezer in

Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat 2 standard
loaf pans with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the
pumpkin, eggs, oil, vanilla, both sugars,
and the salt. Stir in the flour, baking soda
and pumpkin pie spice just until well
mixed. Divide the mixture between the 2
pans and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or
until a toothpick inserted at the center
comes out clean. Leave the oven on.
Carefully transfer the pumpkin bread
from the pans to a cooling rack and allow
to cool. Once cooled, use a serrated knife
to slice the loaves into thin slices, about
1/4 inch thick.
Working in batches if necessary, set a
rack over a baking sheet. Arrange the
pumpkin bread slices in a single layer on
the rack. Its fine if they touch. Bake for
15 to 20 minutes, or until almost crisp
(theyll finish crisping as they cool).
After the biscotti have cooled, melt the
chocolate by microwaving in a small
microwave-safe dish in 20 second intervals, stirring frequently. Drizzle over the
biscotti, then sprinkle them with toasted
almonds. Allow to set before transferring
to an airtight container to store at room
temperature for 2 weeks.

Holiday cookie
decorations that
look, taste good
By Alison Ladman
Sugar sprinkles are pretty, but they generally dont taste like much. So when we created these delicious holiday butter cookies,
we decided to experiment with colorful decorations that taste as good as they look.
Our solution? Freeze-dried fruit. Youll
find a wide variety in either the produce or
dry goods sections of the grocer. Buy a variety of fruit for a rainbow of colors.
Strawberries, raspberries, mango, pineapple and blueberries are particularly nice.
Then you just crush any larger pieces and
sprinkle them over the glazed cookies.
Instant color. Big flavor.
RAINBOW BUTTER COOKIES

For the ultimate indulgence, replace the mints with chopped peanut butter cups.
A brownie treat that

bridges the holidays
to warmer weather
By Alison Ladman
This is the treat thats going to help you

bridge the gap between the fun of summer
and the warmth of the holidays.
We start with a basic but intensely
rich brownie, then we mix in chopped
mint candies for that unmistakable holiday
flavor. But to get us back to thoughts of
warmer weather, we top the entire thing
with a marshmallow frosting. And for good
measure, we toast the marshmallow, too.
Not so hung up on mint? There are plenty of other ways to go. Try leaving out the
mints (and mint extract) and mixing broken chunks of graham cracker into the
brownies. Now you have smores brownies. Or for the ultimate indulgence, replace
the mints with chopped peanut butter cups.
TOASTED MINT,
MARSHMALLOW BROWNIES
Start to finish: 1 hour, plus cooling
Makes 16 brownies
For the brownie layer:
2 cups packed brown sugar
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted
butter, melted
1 teaspoon table salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs
3/4 cup extra-dark cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup chopped chocolate-mint candies
(such as Andes Creme de Menthe)
For the marshmallow frosting:
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, divided
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons gelatin (less than a
packet)
4 egg whites
1 teaspoons peppermint extract
Heat the oven to 350 F. Mist a 9-by-12inch baking pan with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer
to beat together the brown sugar, melted
butter, salt and vanilla. Beat in the eggs,

one at a time, scraping down the sides of
the bowl as necessary to thoroughly combine all the ingredients. Stir in the flour
and cocoa powder just until mixed, then
stir in the chocolate mint candies. Transfer
the batter to the prepared pan and smooth
the top. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until
just set at the center.
When the brownies are done, make the
frosting.
In a small saucepan over medium-high,
combine 1 cup of the sugar, 1/4 cup of the
water and the corn syrup. Bring to a boil.
Using a candy thermometer, heat until the
mixture reaches 240 F.
While the mixture boils, in a small bowl
or cup, sprinkle the gelatin over the
remaining 2 tablespoons of water, ensuring that it all gets moistened.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the
egg whites until very foamy. Add the
remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat
until soft peaks form. Its important to
time the sugar syrup and the egg whites to
finish at close to the same time. Adjust the
speed of the mixer or the heat of the burner to speed up one or slow down the other.
Once the sugar syrup reaches 240 F and
the egg whites are at soft peaks, with the
mixer running, slowly pour the hot sugar
syrup down the side of the bowl into the
egg whites. Add the gelatin mixture immediately after, then scrape down the bowl to
ensure that its all mixed in. Beat until just
warm, then stir in the extract. Spread the
warm frosting over the cooked brownies.
Using a creme brulee torch or the broiler
of your oven, carefully toast the top of the
marshmallow frosting to the desired degree
of brown, turning the pan to prevent any
burnt spots. Allow to fully cool before cutting. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 5 days.

With holiday cookies, go big

or go home. Go bourbon bars!
By Alison Ladman
There is something immensely

satisfying about bar cookies.
They just have so much more
heft than a typical cookie. And
in our world, cookie heft translates into serious satisfaction.
So when we created this bar
cookie, we decided to go heavy
on the indulgence. After all, it is
the holidays. We started with a
basic pecan-brown sugar base,
then heaped a rich bourbon-cherry topping over it. For good
measure, we glazed the whole
thing with a bit more bourbon
and brown sugar. Bourbon not
your speed? Substitute rum or
brandy.
BOURBON CHERRY BARS

Makes 16 bars
1 cup pecans, toasted and
cooled, plus extra to garnish
1 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick)
unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar,
divided
1 egg
For extra flavor glaze the whole bar with a bit more bourbon and brown sugar.
2 cups dried cherries
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup plus 4 teaspoons bourbon, divided
3/4 cup powdered sugar
Heat the oven to 350 F. Mist
an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with
cooking spray, then line the
bottom with kitchen parchment,

letting it also go up the sides.
In a food processor, pulse
together the pecans and flour
until the pecans are very finely
chopped. Dont over process or
the mixture will become gummy.
In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the
butter, salt and 1/2 cup of the

brown sugar together until
creamy. Add the egg and mix
thoroughly. Stir in the pecanflour mixture just until a dough is
formed. Press the dough evenly
into the prepared pan. Bake for
20 minutes, or until light golden
brown.
Meanwhile, make the cherry

topping. In a food processor,
pulse the cherries until the
pieces are no bigger than 1/4
inch.
In a small saucepan, combine
the cherries, cinnamon, orange
juice, 1/4 cup of the bourbon,
and the remaining 1/4 cup of
brown sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until
all of the liquid is absorbed.
When the crust is ready, spread
the cherry mixture over the top.
Allow to cool. Using the parchment paper to assist, pull the
bars from the pan, removing and
discarding the paper.
the remaining 4 teaspoons of
bourbon and the powdered sugar
until smooth. Drizzle over the
tops of the bars, then garnish
with pecans. Cut into pieces and
serve. Store at room temperature
in an airtight container for 1
week.

Like cookies toasty, roasty?

You need these shortbread
By Alison Ladman
Are you the one who hunts for the cookies that are just
slightly overdone, the ones that are just a hair on the
other side of just done? These shortbread are the holiday
cookie you want.
We started with a basic shortbread, but then we looked
for ways to add toasty, smoky flavors to it. First, we skillet toasted both the flour and wheat germ that make the
dough. We also sweetened it with barley malt syrup,
which lends a subtle malt flavor. Finally, we added
smoked almonds for a smoky richness. Finally! All the
toasty flavor, but none of the burn.
ROASTED TOASTED SHORTBREAD

Start to finish: 1 hour
Makes 30 cookies
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons barley malt syrup
1/2 cup chopped smoked almonds
Heat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with
kitchen parchment.
In a large deep skillet over medium, toast the flour, stirring often, until fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Scrape out
into a bowl, then repeat with the wheat germ, which will
take only 1 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a larger bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together
the butter, sugar, malt syrup and salt just until creamy.
Stir in the cooled flour, wheat germ and almonds until a
dough forms. It should be a dry, crumbly dough.
Place the dough between 2 sheets of parchment or
waxed paper and roll out to an even 3/8 inch thick. Cut
out using 2-inch biscuit or cookie cutters of your choice.
Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and reroll the scraps
to cut as many cookies as you can. Bake for 13 to 17 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to fully cool on the
pan. Store in an airtight container at room temperature
for 3 weeks.

TIPS
a zip-close plastic bags.
PAY ATTENTION
TO TEMPERATURE
Temperature can play a variety of
roles in a recipe (beyond just setting
your oven correctly). Butter simply
cannot cream correctly if its too cold
or too warm. So if a recipe calls for
softened butter, you want it to hold its
shape, but yield when pressed on. And
proper creaming of the butter and
sugar is critical to the finished texture
of your cookies.
On the other hand, is a recipe calls
for chilling a dough, do it and dont
try to rush it. Its there for a reason.
Some doughs are too soft at room temperature and need to be chilled so they
are easier to handle or roll out. Other
doughs will lose their shape if placed
from room temperature into a hot
oven.
SCRAPE THE BOWL

You know the part of the recipe that
says to scrape your bowl between additions? Do it. Its important. If you
dont scrape the bowl, its likely that
your dough wont be properly mixed.
You might end up with a chunk of
unmixed butter or sugar, or a smear of
egg white, in your dough. Or even
worse, you could get a hunk of creamed
butter and sugar that hasnt been
mixed into the flour, resulting in a big
streak of crispy and unsightly burnt
edge.
evenly sized. You can find them online

and at most kitchen shops. (And in the
off season, use them for ice cream.)
For slice-and-bake refrigerator
cookies, the key is to turn your dough
log a quarter turn after every slice.
This keeps the log from losing its
shape, and that keeps the cookies
round.
WET YOUR HANDS

When youre working with a soft or
sticky dough, it can be difficult to
move it from the bowl to the counter
or pan. But if you moisten your hands
lightly with a bit of water, the dough
wont stick as much. This works especially well for spreading bars or
brownies in a pan, but also if youre
trying to wrap rounds of dough to go
in the refrigerator.
MAKE DOUGH DISKS, NOT BALLS

Most drop cookies should be slightly flattened once the dough balls are
arranged on the baking sheet. This
helps the cookies bake evenly so the
centers arent still doughy when the
edges are done. Pressing each ball
gently with the underside of a drinking
glass or a moistened palm is a good
way to do this.
EMBRACE KITCHEN PARCHMENT

Kitchen parchment (also called baking parchment or parchment paper) is
paper treated to be nonstick and heatsafe. It works wonders preventing
your cookies from sticking to the pan,
and also makes your cleanup much easier. You can find it alongside the foil at
the grocer and it comes as sheets or
rolls.
PORTION THE DOUGH EVENLY
DONT FLOUR
YOUR CUT-OUT COOKIES
If your cookies are evenly sized,

theyre more likely to bake evenly.
For drop cookies, your best bet is to
use a disher, also known as a cookie
scoop. These look like an ice cream
scoop, but have a thumb- or other
squeeze-activated bar inside the scoop
to help dislodge the dough. They are
the best way to get your drop cookies
When youre going to roll out dough

for cut-out cookies, you often turn out
the dough onto a floured surface, then
sprinkle it with more flour as you roll
it flat. Stop it.
Rolling the dough between sheets of
kitchen parchment eliminates all this
extra flour from being worked into the
dough. It also allows you to re-roll the
SECRET
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat

together the butter, sugar, salt and
vanilla until well combined. Stir in
both flours. Scoop into 48 equal balls
of dough, about 1 rounded teaspoonful
of dough each. A number 70 cookie
scoop works well for this.

1 1/4 cups hazelnut or almond flour
Powdered sugar, to finish
Heat the oven to 375 F. Line 2 baking sheets with kitchen parchment.
In the bowl of a food processor,
pulse the nuts until finely chopped but
not powdered. Stir in the honey to
make a sticky but malleable dough of
sorts. Set aside.
Working one at a time, flatten a ball

of dough in the palm of your hand,
then place 1/2 teaspoonful of the
honey-nut mixture in the center. Fold
the dough up and around the honey-nut
ball to completely enclose it. Repeat
with the remaining dough and honeynut mixture, arranging them on the
scraps more times without making the

cookies unpleasantly tough. If the
dough sticks a little to the parchment,
pop it into the refrigerator or freezer
to make sure it is nice and cold before
peeling the paper off.
COOL YOUR PANS

If youre baking more than one pan
of cookies, make sure to let your pans
cool between batches. Remember how
that dough needs to be the right temperature before it goes in the oven? If
you put it on a hot pan, the bottoms of
the dough will get all melty and the
cookies will spread too much during
baking.
FREEZE EXTRA DOUGH

Maybe you dont want a huge pile of
cookies lying around the house
(because you might eat them all at
once). Or maybe you want to prep your
cookie supply so you can bake off a
few at a time later. The solution is the
freezer. Most cookie doughs freeze
beautifully. Slice and bake cookies
should be frozen, well wrapped, as a
whole log. Just bring back to refrigerator temperature before slicing.
Drop cookies can be scooped into
balls and frozen, then transferred to a
zip-top plastic bag for storage. Cutout cookie dough can be shaped into
disks, then wrapped in plastic and
frozen, then rolled out on another day
(works great for pie dough, too).
FREEZE EXTRA COOKIES

While freshly baked cookies definitely are better, if you bake too
many cookies the freezer still can be
your friend. Make sure you freeze your
cookies before decorating them. The
best option is in an airtight container
to help prevent breaking. And separate layers of cookies with sheets of
kitchen parchment or waxed paper to
prevent them from sticking together.
Unfrosted bars can be frozen right in
the pan. Cookies with a very high
sugar content (such as Florentines or
other lace cookies) dont do well in
the freezer. Youll just need to eat
those.
prepared baking sheets as you go.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until
lightly golden brown around the
edges. Allow to cool on the pans.
Roll the cooled cookies in powdered
sugar, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.
Roll in powdered sugar again, if
desired, just before serving.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Diane V. Johnson
Case Number: 126256
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Diane V. Johnson. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Kirstin
N. Durham in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Kirstin N.
Durham be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: JAN 19, 2016 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who sits on the three-member
commission, said hes hopeful the SLC will receive
broader support from the Legislature if it must consider
eminent domain.
Its unfortunate, the amount of money thats been
spent all across the board on this; litigation, I know
theres two lawsuits, said Newsom, according to a live
video of the meeting. Were now getting to a point where
the question needs to be called, and that question of course
was [instructed] to us in January eminent domain.
Thats a significant shift in gears here and its not to be
done, as they say, lightly.
A range of issues from how the SLC could fund such proceedings, what kind of precedence it would set and
whether the two civil cases currently in the appellate
court system have an impact will be considered in the
report, said SLC Executive Officer Jennifer Lucchesi.
If the commission opts to pursue eminent domain, it
cannot draw from the $6.4 million statewide budget it has
for negotiating easements, Lucchesi said.
Yet as Khoslas request for the state to purchase him a
private beach is a proposal Newsom said respectfully, I
cant imagine wed take seriously, state officials are
LOCAL
likely interested in supporting efforts to reopen the property.
We dont have the kind of resources that would be
required. But that doesnt mitigate the capacity to be creative and to engage the Legislature and the governor to
consider a different kind of level of support, as opposed
to just direction, Newsom said, referring to the
Legislatures and Gov. Jerry Browns approval of the bill
seeking public access. I imagine the response will be
swift coming back in the legislative session there will
be a lot of punctuation and momentum to move us more
quickly, said Newsom.
Whether state lawmakers step up to help further enforce
the intention of Hills Senate Bill 968 and exactly what
type of action will be needed, is left to be seen.
Despite the fast-approaching Jan. 1, 2016, deadline
outlined in SB 968, Lucchesi said the SLC remains committed to attempting an amicable reinstatement of public
access assuming Khosla and his representatives make
sincere efforts.
The SLC offered to purchase the public easement that
would overlap the existing access road off Highway 1
down to the beach and run parallel above the median high
tide line, where the states ownership stems westward.
They also seek space for parking, portable toilets and
trash cans the maintenance of which would be handled
by a local public agency.
As things evolve, and if we are engaged in very mean-

ingful, good faith negotiations to acquire a public access
easement with the property owner, we will pursue that to
its end. That is, in my opinion, the most effective way
and cost-effective way of getting public access out there
sooner rather than later; without spending a lot of money
and decades of time fighting this, Lucchesi said.
Lengthy and drawn-out civil proceedings are expected
in the two civil suits currently pending in the appellate
court. Khosla is appealing a San Mateo County Superior
Court judges decision to side with the nonprofit Surfrider
Foundation in its claim he violated the California Coastal
Act by engaging in unpermitted development after he
bought the property in 2008 for $32.5 million.
Khoslas attorneys argue painting over a sign and closing the already established gate did not constitute development and forcing him to keep his property open to the
public violates his Fifth Amendment rights.
Surfrider contends the lands use changed when Khoslas
employees painted over a welcoming sign and hired security guards to keep the public off the beach that was once
open to visitors for more than 100 years.
Amber Gill, vice chair of the San Mateo County
Surfrider chapter, spoke at the meeting Friday pleading
for the SLC to enforce Hills law and uphold the publics
interest in maintaining access to the coast.
Our chapter is very disappointed that Mr. Khosla is not
interested in seeking a reasonable solution, Gill said.
Instead, [hes] making an egregious power play.
Other members of the public spoke in favor of reopening the property, including a 71-year-old woman named
Helen who lives in Redwood City and said she grew up
visiting Martins Beach as a child.
I dont believe that any beach in the state of California
should belong to private property. It totally belongs to
the state of California and the citizens, said Helen,
whose last name was not immediately available. Im so
happy that youve taken this on and I want you to continue and fight for this hard.

BUDGET
ents and teachers to Big Oil and small business, from 9/11 first responders to cybersecurity hawks and more.
Theres some things in there that I dont
like, but thats the nature of legislation and
compromise, and I think the system worked,
the president said at his year-end news conference at the White House before traveling with
his family on their annual vacation to
Hawaii. It was a good win.
The legislation pairs two enormous bills: a
$1.14 trillion government-wide spending
measure to fund every Cabinet agency
through next September, and a $680 billion
tax package extending dozens of breaks
touching all sectors of the economy, making
several of them permanent and tossing the
entire cost onto the deficit.
Republicans and Democrats joined to
approve the spending bill on a resounding
316-113 vote in the House, a day after passing the tax bill. The unexpectedly large margin was a victory for new Speaker Paul Ryan,
who saw a majority of his GOP lawmakers
REACT
Speier, D-San Mateo, along with U.S. Sen.
Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif, reacted to the
2016 tax and spending package the president has signed. All three approved the federal spending bill and, while Feinstein
approved the tax extension measures,
Speier and Eshoo voted against it citing
concerns over costs.
The omnibus deal allocated $1.1 trillion
to fund the federal government through
October 2016 with certain provisions the
legislators hesitantly approved.
Eshoo said in a press release she vigorously opposed the elimination of the 40year ban on crude oil exports, provisions
that roll back protections for Americans
from government surveillance online and a
measure permitting continued consolidation in media ownership.
This bill is far from perfect. With any
legislation of this magnitude come many
pluses and minuses, Eshoo said. After

back the legislation despite complaints by

frustrated conservatives whose priorities
were ignored.
Not long after, the Senate voted 65-33 to
send the entire package to Obamas desk, and
lawmakers began rushing out the Capitols
exits to catch flights back home with
Congress adjourning until January.
On Capitol Hill, it was a harmonious conclusion to a wild 2015 that was driven largely
by tea party lawmakers pushing for showdowns with Obama on immigration, Planned
Parenthood and the presidents health law.
They never achieved their principal goals
even with the Senate newly under GOP control, but along the way they forced out Ryans
predecessor, John Boehner, and nearly shut
down the Homeland Security Department.
On Friday several hardliners expressed disappointment over a year that ended with passage of a spending bill funding many of
Obama priorities while excluding their own,
including curbs on Syrian refugee resettlement in the U.S.
The product were delivering this year is
awful, groused GOP Rep. Dave Brat of
Virginia.
Several of the GOP presidential candidates
in the Senate were among those opposing the
legislation, though Sen. Marco Rubio of
Florida didnt show up to vote. Sens. Ted Cruz

of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky voted
no.
Yet few conservatives were complaining
about Ryan himself, and many lawmakers,
Republicans and Democrats alike, proudly
touted the accomplishments achieved since
the new speaker was sworn in, including
bipartisan bills on highways and education
and a two-year budget and debt deal that paved
the way for Fridays spending and tax legislation.
Truly historic, Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., boasted on the
Senate floor as he and Congress other top
leaders of both parties took turns claiming
credit for the holiday-season largesse.
Ryan himself told reporters he fielded a
congratulatory call from Obama who thanked
him for keeping government working and
invited him to dinner at the White House in
the new year.
The Democratic leaders, Nancy Pelosi of
California in the House and Harry Reid of
Nevada in the Senate, complained about a
provision lifting the four-decade-old ban on
exporting crude oil and the legislations failure to address Puerto Ricos fiscal woes,
which Ryan pledged to tackle next year
instead.
But they boasted of using their leverage,

veto threats from Obama and the GOPs craving for the oil export ban to extract numerous
concessions from Republicans, including
five-year extensions of solar and wind tax
credits, a top goal for Reid. And they blocked
numerous policy riders Republicans sought
on the environment and other issues.
They wanted big oil so much that they
gave away the store, Pelosi gloated.
The spending measure awards increases of
about 6 percent, on average, above tight
spending caps that were a relic of a 2011
budget and debt deal, and were opposed by
both GOP defense hawks and Democrats seeking boosts in domestic spending. It contains
large spending boosts for veterans and medical research.
The bill extends more than 50 expiring tax
cuts, with more than 20 becoming permanent, including credits for companies expenditures for research and equipment purchases,
and reductions for lower-earning families and
households with children and college students.
Ryan cited the lifting of the oil export ban,
the large increase for the Pentagon and curbs
on the activities of the Environmental
Protection Agency and the IRS as wins for
Republicans.
careful examination of the legislation, I

concluded that attempting to block a giveaway to Big Oil should not come at the
expense of the numerous benefits for my
constituents and millions of Americans.
Benefits include increasing funding for
the Department of Veterans Affairs, keeping
the Affordable Care Act intact, reauthorizing
funding for the Land and Water
Conservation Fund, setting aside funding
for non-nuclear proliferation and extending
tax credits supporting renewable energy
production such as wind and solar.
Californians will also see direct benefits
as the bill supports a range of statewide and
local projects covering the drought, public
transit, Veterans Affairs facilities and natural disaster preparations, according to
Feinstein.
The bill allocates $100 million to
address the drought in California and other
western states, $761 million for major
infrastructure projects including $150 million for the Bay Area Rapid Transits 10mile extension connecting the popular
commuter rail from Fremont to San Jose,
and $8.2 million to develop a West Coast
earthquake early warning system. It also
includes language directing the FBI to provide increased support to local offices
working to combat human and sex trafficking around large sporting events an
acute issue local law enforcement has
expressed concerns over as the 2016 Super
Bowl at Levis Stadium is expected to
attract hundreds of thousands of spectators
to the area.
I voted for the omnibus and tax extenders
because I think our nation is best served by
fiscal certainty, Feinstein said in a press
release, adding California is benefited by
the omnibus spending bill.
Speier also dissented on the export of
crude oil but felt the bill offered positive
support to causes like Alzheimers research
and cut funding for military weapons systems she opposed.
The omnibus is not a perfect package,
but with Republican majorities in both
houses of Congress, this package keeps the
government open and honors the promises
we have made to our armed forces, government employees and veterans, Speier said
in an email. It also funds the child care tax
credit, the college tax credit provisions and
combating western drought and climate
change provisions.
Eshoo and Speier said they couldnt in
good faith vote in favor of the $680 billion
package that extends dozens of tax breaks.
I have supported and helped create many
of the tax extenders during my tenure in
Congress, including making permanent
those for middle class Americans, small
businesses, and the research and development tax credit. However, my opposition
rests on the cost of the bill $680 billion
over a 10-year period, and $2 trillion over
20 years all unpaid for and charged to the
national debt. I view this as irresponsible
and unfair, shortchanging our children and
collective future, Eshoo said.
As many of the legislators packed up to
return home for the holidays, Speier said the
tax breaks for the wealthy were an unfortunate consequence.
I did not support the tax cut bill although
it had plenty in it that I liked. How can we
add $2 trillion to the debt over the next 20
years and feel good that our children will be
better off? she said. The Republicans were
unwilling to pay for any of it so it became a
Christmas tree filled with beautifully
wrapped presents for the high rollers.
