Millbraes Business Advisory Committee
is trying to nd its footing as its viability
as a group was recently questioned by the
City Council and the committee itself feels
it doesnt have the resources to make an
impact on Millbraes economy.
The committee is exploring various
options for how to improve downtown and
business in general, including creating a
business improvement district, presenting
a bond measure and getting city staff more
involved in the committee, along with
other ideas.
A vote on dissolving the committee was
pulled from the City Councils agenda at a
November meeting, but committee mem-
bers still came to speak about why they
believe the group is necessary. More recent-
l y, the committee unanimously voted at its
Wednesday meeting to request a representa-
tive from the Millbrae Chamber of
Commerce, Community Development
Department and a council liaison be present
at its meetings, along with making sure to
have specic items on its agendas.
We need to show that were a viable com-
mittee rst and the council needs to know
were alive and well, said committee mem-
ber Matt Fitzgibbons.
Vice Mayor Wayne Lee, liaison to the
committee, asked to take the dissolution
item off the agenda. He would like to see a
downtown committee formed that has more
control of downtown business develop-
ment, giving more of a voice to its mer-

FlightCar
sued over
violations
Legal tangle continues between
startup and the city of Millbrae
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The latest in the battle between FlightCar and the city of
Millbrae involves the city suing the new airport business
that allows people to rent out their personal cars in state
court for failing to comply with a conditional use permit and
obtain a business license or a certicate of occupancy.
The suit, led Tuesday jointly with the state of California
in San Mateo County Superior Court, outlines various com-
plaints the city brought against the startup when the coun-
cil decided to rescind the companys conditional use permit
back on Nov. 12.
In addition, after FlightCars conditional use permit was
revoked on Nov. 12, by unanimous vote of the Millbrae
City Council, defendants continued to operate their facili-

First Wienerschnitzel
stand named landmark
LOS ANGELES Der
Wienerschnitzel isnt just a hot dog
stand anymore its a tasty bite of
history.
The Los Angeles City Council on
Tuesday declared the chains very rst
stand in the Wilmington area as a city
landmark adding it to the list of city
historic-cultural monuments.
The drive-thru was built in 1961 and
it doesnt have the chains trademark
A-frame construction just a flat
roof. However, the Cultural Heritage
Commission says it epitomizes the
drive-thru and walk-up concepts made
popular in the 1960s and is strongly
associated with LAs car culture.
The chain now has hundreds of
restaurants in the U.S. and overseas.
Wienerschnitzel, by the way, isnt a
hot dog but a breaded veal cutlet.
Maine man pleads guilty in
New York to drug smuggling
PORTLAND, Maine The former
owner of a live music venue in
Portland, Maine, has pleaded guilty to
his role in smuggling nearly 170
pounds of cocaine from California to
Vermont.
Robert Evon, former owner of the
Port City Music Hall, pleaded guilty
Tuesday in federal court in Syracuse,
N.Y., to a single count of conspiracy
to distribute the cocaine.
The Portland Press Herald reports
that Evon, whos from Portland, and a
co-conspirator face a minimum prison
sentence of 10 years.
Law enforcement ofcials say Evon
arranged to have 78 kilograms of
cocaine worth $2.7 million shipped
inside two vending machines to New
Jersey. Ofcials say that his co-con-
spirator then drove the drugs to
Vermont, where he called a contact in
Albany, N.Y., who turned out to be a
federal drug agent.
Search for missing
plane resumes in Idaho
BOISE, Idaho More than 60
search and rescue personnel scoured
the central Idaho mountains
Wednesday for ve people, including
four family members, who were
onboard a plane that disappeared three
days earlier.
The search grew to include seven air-
craft, up from ve on Tuesday, and at
least 18 new members of a specially
trained ground party looking for the
Beech Bonanza piloted by Dale Smith,
a 51-year-old software executive from
San Jose, Calif., said Rob Feeley of
the Idaho Bureau of Homeland
Security.
A faint emergency beacon was
detected Tuesday, but it couldnt be
veried by other aircraft searching in
the same area Wednesday. As a result,
teams have expanded their search area
using projections of the possible path
of the missing plane.
Others on board included Smiths
son, Daniel Smith, and his wife,
Sheree, both of Butte, Mont.; and Dale
Smiths daughter, Amber Smith, and
her ance, Jonathon Norton, who are
students at Brigham Young University-
Idaho in Rexburg.
After spending the Thanksgiving
holiday together, they departed Sunday
from Baker City in eastern Oregon in
the single-engine plane bound for
Butte, Mont.
Over remote country, Smith reported
engine trouble and sought coordinates
for a landing strip near the Frank
Church-River of No Return Wilderness,
about 150 miles northeast of Boise.
Since the plane vanished, tempera-
tures have dipped overnight to around
zero degrees, while winds and snow
showers have further slowed the search
in dense stands of trees that could hide
wreckage.
Its heavily forested, which makes
it more difcult to spot things, either
from the ground or the air, Feeley
said.
The search includes ve Civil Air
Patrol planes and two helicopters from
the Idaho National Guard. On the
ground, a volunteer crew from Boise-
based Idaho Mountain Search and
Rescue planned to access the area with
snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles and
on foot.

A homeless 53-year-old veteran
invited to stay with a Veterans
Affairs hospital worker for a few
weeks tried choking her to death
because he felt she did not appreci-
ate his house cleaning, according
to prosecutors.
The 55-year-old employee asked
Timothy Page Seith home because
she knew he was a transient but
prosecutors say on Nov. 27 he
grew angry over what he perceived
to be her lack of appreciation for
his housework.
He allegedly
choked the
woman with his
hands and arm
while saying he
was going to
kill her. She
broke free and
tried calling
911 but Seith
knocked the phone from her hand
and began choking her again,
according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
She was able to break free a sec-
ond time and run for help. South
San Francisco police arrested him
nearby.
On Wednesday, Seith pleaded not
guilty to charges of attempted
murder, assault and making
threats.
He waived his right to a speedy
trial and returns to court Jan. 29
for a preliminary hearing with a
one-hour estimate. If convicted,
he faces up to 12 years in prison,
said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Seith remains in custody with-
out bail.

RICHMOND Two California
cities have voted to ban electron-
ic cigarettes in public places, and
Los Angeles on Wednesday
moved to prohibit their sale to
minors.
The Richmond and Carlsbad
city councils voted Tuesday to
prohibit the battery-powered
nicotine inhalers from parks,
restaurants and other places
where cigarettes are banned.
The Los Angeles council voted
unanimously to regulate e-ciga-
rettes and other nicotine-laced
products in the same manner as
tobacco products, which cannot
be sold to minors, on the street
or from mobile vendors such as
ice cream trucks or food carts.
If the mayor signs the new law,
merchants also would need to
obtain a license to sell the
devices, which vaporize liquid
nicotine for inhalation.

EVERGLADES NATIONAL
PARK, Fla. Wildlife workers in
boats struggled unsuccessfully
Wednesday to coax nearly four
dozen pilot whales out of danger-
ous shallow waters in Floridas
Everglades National Park, hoping
to spare them the fate of 10 others
that already had died.
The workers suspended their
efforts after dark, but planned to
return Thursday morning to try
again, said Kim Amendola,
spokeswoman for the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, which is taking
part in the effort.
Six of the whales were found
dead, and four of the whales had to
be euthanized Wednesday, said
Blair Mase, coordinator for
NOAAs marine mammal stranding
network. At least three could be
seen on the beach, out of the water.
The whales are stranded in a
remote area near Highland Beach,
the western boundary of Everglades
National Park and about 20 miles
east of where they normally live. It
takes more than an hour to reach
the spot from the nearest boat
ramp and there is no cellphone
service, complicating rescue
efforts.
We want to set the expectation
low, because the challenges are
very, very difcult, Mase said.
Park spokeswoman Linda Friar
said rescuers were trying to sur-
round the whales, which were in
roughly 3 feet of salt water about
75 feet from shore, and herd them
back to sea.
They are not cooperating,
Friar said.
Workers also tried to nudge the
whales out to sea earlier in the day
with no success.
The short-nned pilot whales typ-
ically live in very deep water. Even
if rescuers were able to begin nudg-
ing the 41 remaining whales out to
sea, Mase said they would encounter
a series of sandbars and patches of
shallow water along the way.
This particular whale species is
also known for its close-knit
social groups, meaning if one
whale gets stuck or stays behind,
the others are likely to stay behind
or even beach themselves as well.
It would be very difcult for the
whales to navigate out on their
own, Mase said.
Federal officials were notified
about the whales Tuesday around 4
p.m. Because of the remote loca-
tion, workers were unable to access
the site before dark. They arrived
Wednesday morning and discov-
ered 45 whales still alive.

OAKLAND A San Francisco
Bay Area Rapid Transit trains
emergency brakes malfunctioned
Wednesday, stranding hundreds of
passengers in a tunnel and sending
at least nine people to hospitals,
ofcials said.
Oakland Fire Battalion Chief
Melinda Drayton said the nine
were among 11 passengers who
were treated for medical issues. The
extent of their injuries was not
clear, but Drayton said many of the
passengers complained of respira-
tory problems caused by brake
dust.
One passenger was found in a
semiconscious state, and another
suffered an asthma attack.
No smoke, no re. It was brake
dust, Drayton told reporters at
BARTs Rockridge Station in
Oakland.
It was nerve-racking, BART
passenger Kaylee Adams told
reporters. Everybodys trying to
stay calm, everybodys trying to
help each other, talk to each other
and get through it.
The San Francisco-bound train
stopped around 8:15 a.m. in the
Berkeley Hills between BARTs
Orinda and Rockridge stations
when the trains emergency brakes
became spontaneously engaged,
BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost
said.
The train emitted a white smoky
substance that sickened some pas-
sengers, she said.
Atechnician was able to release
the broken brake around 9:30
a.m., and the disabled train moved
on its own power to the Rockridge
station, where about 700 passen-
gers onboard were evacuated with
fire and medical crews waiting,
BART spokeswoman Luna Salaver
said.
The incident created signicant
delays on the line as the two sta-
tions were shut down. Full service
was restored by noon with delays
up to 15 minutes, BART
spokesman Jim Allison said.
Nine go to hospitals
after BART problem
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A San Francisco man charged
with throwing a hammer at picket-
ing BARTworkers and later threat-
ening to take care of jail ofcers
may not be competent to stand
trial, according to his defense
attorney.
Vincent Matteucci, 39, was sup-
posed to have a preliminary hear-
ing in both cases yesterday but
instead attorney Christine
Bogosian questioned his ability to
aid in his own defense. Criminal
proceedings were put on hold and,
on Friday, a judge will appoint two
doctors to evaluate his mental
state.
Competency is a persons abili-
ty to aid in his or her own defense
while sanity is the mental state at
the time of an alleged crime.
Matteucci was rst arrested Oct.
21 after reportedly throwing the
tool at picketers outside the Daly
City station as his friend yelled at
the strikers to get your asses back
to work. The hammer landed
about 15 feet away.
Ofcers who arrested Matteucci
reported nding
on him a wood-
handled pick he
called his whit-
tler and he
allegedly told
authorities he
threw the ham-
mer in self-
defense.
While in jail
awaiting prose-
cution on felony counts of assault
with a deadly weapon, possessing
a dirk or dagger and a misdemeanor
count of brandishing a knife,
Matteucci allegedly refused to
comply with orders by two San
Mateo County sheriffs deputies
working there. Prosecutors say he
repeatedly threatened to take care
of them on the outside and that he
would terminate their unit and
f them up. He resisted the
deputies trying to move him into a
holding cell and again threatened
that he owned them and would
get even, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
He remains in custody on
$125,000 bail.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The driver accused of causing a
Colma crash that killed three pas-
sengers, including his girlfriend,
earlier this year pleaded not guilty
Monday to three counts of gross
vehicular manslaughter, drunk
driving and hit-and-run.
Paul Michael Anthony Diaz, 25,
is also alleged to have a prior mis-
demeanor drunk driving convic-
tion. On Tuesday, he entered his
plea in Superior Court and set a
Jan. 28 pretrial conference date at
which point a jury trial date may
be scheduled.
Prosecutors say on May 27 Diaz
was speeding in his Mustang on
Hillside Boulevard near the
Cypress Lawn Funeral Home at 90-
plus mph when
he crashed into
the back of a
Honda, pushing
it into a ceme-
tery while he
lost control and
smashed into a
retaining wall.
The Mustang
split in two,
ejecting and killing Ruvin Abel
Vazquez, 22, Jonathan Jade
Mouton, 21, and Rosa Maria
Falla, 23, all of Daly City. Falla
and Diaz were dating and prosecu-
tors say Diaz approached her dead
body after the crash before run-
ning away. The Hondas driver was
not seriously injured.
He surrendered to Daly City
police about ve hours later which
left authorities having to pinpoint
his blood alcohol level via a for-
mula rather than direct test.
Prosecutors considered increas-
ing the charges against Diaz to
murder but opted against doing so
after weighing factors like his
driving record and the short driv-
ing pattern before he lost control.
Any time we have an alcohol-
related case leaving three dead
bodies behind we look to see if the
conduct rises to that level, said
prosecutor Sean Gallagher.
Fleeing the scene did not play a
role. It is appalling conduct but
doesnt help us prove there was a
conscious disregard for human
life, Gallagher said.
Diaz remains in custody on $1
million bail. If convicted, he faces
up to 15 years in prison.

It was nerve-racking.

other, talk to each other

SFO to open new boarding area
A new boarding area at San Franciscos International
Airport will be unveiled next year as part of a renovation
at one of the airports terminals.
Terminal 3, where United Airlines is based, has under-
gone a $138-million transformation to upgrade the board-
ing area, set to open to travelers Jan. 28.
The renovation of a 68,000-square-foot boarding area,
known as Boarding Area E, includes new interactive dis-
plays, new dining and shopping venues, new seating
options, a yoga room like the one in Terminal 2, art
installations, and a wall of windows for plane watching.
As part of the design, airport officials have touted the
use of local and recycled materials, such as tiles from
Sausalito and terrazzo flooring, and energy-efficient
designs for the windows, skylights, roof and ventilation
system.
Another project to revamp the 150,000-square-foot con-
necting concourse to Boarding Area F is underway with a
$209-million budget. A new security checkpoint with as
many as 10 lanes and three additional gates are part of the
project, which is anticipated to open late next summer.
The project will be phased in until its completion in July
2015.
During construction on the conjoining concourse, pas-
sengers will be able to go through a temporary passage-
way starting at the end of January.
The original terminal was built in 1981 and has 10
United gates. Airport officials said after the renovation the
new boarding area will be able to accommodate passengers
on more than 100 departing and arriving flights each day.
An open house for the public to view the new boarding
area a few days before it opens will be held Jan. 25.
Ranch hand to trial for attacking woman, puppy
A Pescadero ranch hand accused of separately trying to
drown a 9-week-old puppy and its 67-year-old owner at
Castagnetto Family Ranch will stand trial in March on
five felonies.
Jorge Ruiz-Martinez, 33, pleaded not
guilty and was scheduled for a pretrial
conference Feb. 24 followed by jury
trial March 17. He is charged with resi-
dential burglary, physical elder abuse,
false imprisonment, methamphetamine
possession, animal cruelty and a misde-
meanor count of being under the influ-
ence.
The alleged Nov. 3 incident began
with the family matriarch allegedly
finding Ruiz-Martinez pouring water down the throat of
her puppy, Heidi, and after freeing the dog later being
attacked and choked with water herself.
Responding deputies found Ruiz-Martinez in a field
about 30 feet away possessing and under the influence of
crystal methamphetamine.
He remains in custody on $100,000 bail and a no-bail
hold.

NEW YORK Sex toys. French
lms. Star Wars action gures. Erotic
photos.
What do these things have in com-
mon? Theyre the gifts that keep on giv-
ing about every month.
Dozens of online subscription busi-
nesses have popped up offering to ship
boxes of different goodies within a
given niche or theme, like makeup or
travel, each month. Most often, the
exact products remain a mystery until
theyre shipped.
These monthly subscriber services
have gained fans among those who
appreciate novelty and surprise. But as
their popularity has grown, the list of
products they offer has gone from ordi-
nary (Think: hair products) to really
niche (Think: black socks) to naughty
(Think: vibrators.)
Overall, subscription services
account for less than one percent of the
nations $231 billion online business,
excluding the movie subscription serv-
ice Netix, Forrester Research esti-
mates. But experts say they are poised
to do well during the holiday season
because there arent a lot of must-have
gifts on peoples wish lists.
Theres so little thats new to buy for
the holiday season, said Candace
Corlett, president of WSL Strategic
Retail, a retail consultancy. The idea of
a subscription service is fun and excit-
ing.
Of course, shoppers have long been
able to order fruit, movies or wine
through monthly services. But since
online subscriber service Birchbox
launched surprise makeup samples in
2010, theres been an explosion of
these businesses that focus on nearly
every desire imaginable.
Boinkboutique.com delivers vibra-
tors and other sex toys and features
plans like a $25 monthly make out
box. Blacksocks.com, which has
60,000 subscribers, sends three pair of
socks, including striped and colored
versions, four times a year for $118
annually. And for $45 per box,
Trytheworld.com ships hard-to-find
food items like jams and ne teas and
cultural nds from Paris, Tokyo and
Rio.
Trytheworld.com, which launched in
August, declined to say how many sub-
scribers it has, but co-founder David
Foult said its reaching customers who
love the idea of traveling and discover-
ing new cities but dont necessarily
have the time or the money to do so.
Balthazar Simoes, an erotic photogra-
pher for years, took the idea of discov-
ery a step further with his service. For
$10 a month on his website, callme-
balthazar.com, Peek in the Mail sub-
scribers receive two 5-by-7 inch photos
of erotica.
Simoes said about a few dozen sub-
scribers have signed up for the service
since it launched last year, and he insists
its striking a chord with voyeurs and
amorous couples. Its a novelty to get
beautiful prints in the mail, he said.
The novelty of subscriber services, in
general, are resonating with people like
Moire K. Tivenan, 28, who was stumped
on what to get as Christmas gifts for her
family until she found subscription
services.
She wound up getting her 21-year-old
brother a subscription to Birchbox for
mens grooming products like shaving
cream for $20 a month. She signed up
for My Ireland Box, a box of goodies
and crafts from Ireland like shamrock
oven gloves for a $150 three-month
subscription, for her mother.
And for her 24-year old brother, she
turned to Nerdblock.com, a $19.99
monthly service that sends a box of T-
shirts and collectible gures from
brands like Star Wars and Marvel.
I picked something specically
geared toward their tastes, said
Tivenan, who lives in Brick, N.J. At
the same time, its a surprise for both of
us ... because neither of us knows what
theyre going to send.
Not every subscriber service is suc-
cessful, though. SecretSexBox.com
promised better sex to your doorstep
for just $19.95 a month with a box of
products that featured a different sexual
theme. But the sites owner called it
quits in September after just over a year
in business.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama prodded Congress
to raise wages and secure the
social safety net as he issued an
overarching appeal Wednesday to
correct inequalities that he said
make it harder for a child to escape
poverty. That should offend all of
us, he declared. We are a better
country than this.
Focusing on the pocketbook
issues that Americans consistent-
ly rank as a top concern, Obama
argued that the dream of upward
economic mobility is breaking
down and that the growing income
gap is a dening challenge of our
time.
The basic bargain at the heart
of our economy has frayed, the
president said in remarks at a non-
prot community center a short
drive from the White House in one
of Washingtons most impover-
ished neighborhoods.
Though he offered no new initia-
tives, Obama blended a call for
Congress to act on pending short-
term economic measures with a
long vision aimed at correcting a
growing level of income inequali-
ty in the United States. The speech
came amid public doubts over
Obamas stewardship of the econ-
omy, as his overall approval rat-
ings sink and as he seeks to move
past the health care troubles that
have consumed his presidency in
recent months.
He acknowledged his adminis-
trations poor execution in
rolling out the awed website that
was supposed to be an easy portal
for purchasing insurance, while
blaming Republicans for a reck-
less shutdown of the govern-
ment.
Nobody has acquitted them-
selves very well these past few
months, Obama said. So its not
surprising that the American peo-
ples frustrations with
Washington are at an all-time
high. Worse for Americans, he
added, are their growing difcul-
ties in trying to make ends meet
no matter how hard they work.
The speech coincided with grow-
ing national and international
attention to economic disparities
from the writings of Pope
Francis to the protests of fast-food
workers in the U.S. The president
cited the popes question of how it
isnt news when an elderly home-
less person dies from exposure,
but news when the stock market
loses two points.
And he noted that in the United
States, a child born into the bot-
tom 20 percent of income levels
has less than a 5 percent chance of
making it to the top income levels
and is 10 times likelier to stay
where he is worse than other
industrial countries such as
Canada, Germany and France.
House Speaker John Boehner
blamed Senate Democrats and
Obama for the lack of action on
jobs-related legislation. He said
bills passed by the Republican-
controlled House that would help
the economy and create jobs have
been blocked in the Democratic-
controlled Senate. The Senate
and the president continue to stand
in the way of the peoples priori-
ties, he said on the House oor.
Obama conceded that the ele-
phant in the room is the political
gridlock that has prevented con-
gressional action. He said issues
of inequality of upward mobility
would not likely be resolved even
over the next ve years. But he
pointed to the health care law as
one example that he said is already
helping families by providing
insurance coverage to more
Americans and by pushing down
the costs of health care.
Obama specifically called on
Congress to increase the federal
minimum wage from the current
$7.25 an hour. A Democratic bill
by Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa would
raise the threshold to $10.10 an
hour in three steps and tie auto-
matic annual increases to changes
in the cost of living.
A vote in the Senate is not
expected in December, when the
chamber will mostly focus on
stalemates over the budget and
other issues. Whenever it is debat-
ed, the measure seems unlikely to
win the 60 votes it would need to
clear the Senate due to GOP oppo-
sition.
Obama also pressed Congress to
extend jobless benets to 1.3 mil-
lion long-term unemployed peo-
ple. The benets are set to expire
just three days after Christmas.
The additional weeks of benet s
have been extended each year
since 2009, but a senior
Republican lawmaker, Rep. Tom
Cole of Oklahoma, said Tuesday
that Republicans oppose yet
another extension.

BAALBEK, Lebanon The attackers
waited in an olive grove around midnight. As
the Hezbollah commander pulled into the
garage of his nearby apartment building,
they went in after him. Five bullets were
pumped into his head and neck from a
silencer-equipped pistol an assassination
that reverberated across the Middle East.
The killing early Wednesday of Hassan al-
Laqis, described as a member of the inner cir-
cle of Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan
Nasrallah, was the latest in a series of recent
attacks against the Iranian-backed group.
Hezbollah blamed Israel, which denied
involvement. However, the Shiite militant
groups open support of Syrian President
Bashar Assad has enraged Sunnis and left it
with no shortage of enemies eager to strike
at its strongholds and leadership. Dozens of
people have been killed in deadly car bomb-
ings claimed by radical Sunni groups.
The groups participation in the civil war
in Syria is highly divisive and unpopular in
Lebanon, where many feel it has deviated
from its raison detre of ghting Israel and
exposed the Shiite community to retalia-
tion.
Most recently, two suicide bombers blew
themselves up outside the Iranian Embassy
in Beirut, killing 23. An al-Qaida-afliated
group claimed responsibility, saying it was
payback for Hezbollahs support of Assad.
Al-Laqis killing came shortly after
Nasrallah accused Saudi Arabia of being
behind the embassy bombings in a sharp
escalation in rhetoric against the Sunni
regional powerhouse. In a three-hour
interview with a local TV station, he indi-
rectly suggested an alliance between
Israel and Saudi Arabia was trying to
destabilize his group.
The Saudi monarchy is engaged in a proxy
war with Iran over inuence in the region,
and in that, Riyadh has increasingly found
common ground with the Jewish state.
The assassination is another notch in
tensions between Hezbollah and Saudi
Arabia, said Kamel Wazne, founder of the
Center for American Strategic Studies in
Beirut.
There will be repercussions. Its going to
be more like an open battle, he said.
Two previously unknown Sunni groups
claimed responsibility on Twitter for al-
Laqis assassination, but the claims could
not be veried.
Al-Laqis, 53, was killed as he returned
home from work, Hezbollah said.
The brother martyr Hassan al-Laqis spent
his youth and dedicated all his life in this
honorable resistance since its inception up
until the last moments of his life, a state-
ment from the group said.
An ofcial close to the highly secretive
group said al-Laqis held some of Hezbollahs
most sensitive portfolios and was very close
to Nasrallah and his inner circle, often act-
ing as a link with ofcials in Tehran.

AMSTERDAM The European
Commission has ned a group of major
global banks a total of 1.7 billion euros
($2.3 billion) for colluding to prot from
the manipulation of key interest rates.
The banks that received fines, which
include JPMorgan, Citigroup and Deutsche
Bank, are accused of manipulating for years
European and Japanese benchmark interest
rates that affect hundreds of billions of dol-
lars in contracts globally, from mortgages
to credit card bills.
Switzerlands UBS bank escaped a whop-
ping 2.5 billion-euro ne only because it
informed the Commission, the EUs execu-
tive arm, of a cartels existence and cooper-
ated with the subsequent investigation.
We want to send a clear message that we
are determined to nd and punish these car-
tels, competition commissioner Joaquin
Almunia said Wednesday.
The Commission is only the latest to pun-
ish banks for proting from manipulating
interest rates, after similar cases brought by
U.S. and national European market regula-
tors.
The banks regularly contribute data to
help compile market interest rates, which
are then used as benchmarks for loans in the
wider economy.
The banks are thought to have proted by
cooperating to x the rates higher or lower
depending on whether they or their
clients held investments in derivatives
that stood to gain.
In a rst cartel, which operated from 2005
to 2008 and was focused on euro-denominat-
ed derivatives, Deutsche Bank received the
largest ne, of 468 million euros, followed
by Societe Generale with 445 million euros.
Royal Bank of Scotland was ned 131 mil-
lion euros.

Sen. Harry Reid exempts his
staff members from Obamacare
Editor,
Per CNN, Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid has exempted his staff
members from participating in
Obamacare. This is very confusing to
us working people who do not have
the option of not participating in
Obamacare. Why are congressional
staff members and selected union
members given this option? If
Obamacare is good for us, why isnt it
good for the privileged few? Didnt
we leave Europe to form a class-free
nation? Why, then, are there different
rules for different groups of people?

The real crisis
Editor,
It is comforting to read that U.S.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, is
very concerned about the impending
threat of sea level rise (Government
Watch, in the Dec. 3 edition of the
Daily Journal). We certainly need to
know the road out of town when that
tsunami strikes. Wouldnt it also be
nice to read how Speier is trying her
best to avert the humanitarian crisis
that she helped create? She voted for,
and vehemently supports, the law
which strips away the health plan
from hundreds, if not thousands, of
her own constituents. She acts like
the damage she caused was a mistake
and says, half-heartedly, that she is
trying to gure out a x.
Her attempt to help is belied by the
fact that, on Nov. 15, 2013, she
voted against grandfathering the
existing health plans. So, in spite of
repeated promises that we can keep
our doctors, keep our plans we are
confronted with the stark reality that
she lied to get the government-run
health care bill passed, and she con-
tinues to deceive when she says that
she is trying to x the problem.
There is a humanitarian crisis of her
own creation beginning in about 30
days from now. Hopefully, an honest
leader will step forward to really help
the many constituents of our congres-
sional district.

Letters to the editor
By Gene Mullin
A
fter the many recent stories
commemorating the 50th
anniversary of the assassi-
nation of John Kennedy, Id like to
offer my memories of the Kennedy
family at the beginnings of his presi-
dency.
I was fortunate to know Joseph
Kennedy, Johns father, nancier and
former ambassador to Great Britain.
As fate would have it, in the late
1950s I worked summers as a life-
guard at the Cal Neva Lodge resort at
Lake Tahoe, and each June, the senior
Kennedy stayed for most of the
month at the resort. He often golfed
alone in the early mornings at the
nearby Brockway Vista course, and I
was usually his caddy. As a college
student at the time, I was somewhat
aware of his importance but less so of
his children and grandchildren
some of whom would stay in his
resort residence from time to time in
those early summer months.
His three sons were rare visitors,
but the daughters often came, and
joined his niece and companion, Ann
Gargan, who usually spent summers
and vacations with the Kennedy fami-
l y. The most frequent visitor was
daughter Jean, who was then married
to actor Peter Lawford. Lawford was
one member of the so-called Rat
Pack, headed by Frank Sinatra.
Sinatra fronted a syndicate that pur-
chased the Cal Neva in 1961 but was
a frequent presence in the years prior.
After college I wound up in
Washington, D.C., in the fall of
1960 and my earlier connections
with the Kennedy
family led me to a
volunteer position
with John
Kennedys presi-
dential campaign,
primarily doing
canvassing and
precinct work in
northern Virginia.
Living in the District of Columbia, I
was unable to vote in presidential
elections the subsequent 23rd
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
corrected that disenfranchisement of
district residents.
John Kennedy would frequently
address his campaign workers, often
from the front steps of his home in
the Georgetown section of
Washington, D.C., Most of us, as
twenty-somethings were captivated
by this candidate who was not that
many years older than us. Many of us
volunteers had full-time jobs and did
campaign volunteering in our off
hours; having the candidate talk to
us, standing on the sidewalk in front
of his residence, was payment
enough.
The Kennedy inaugural in January
of 1961, as were all others in earlier
administrations, was held on the west
side of the Capitol building, a much
more space-limited setting than we
see now with ceremonies on the east
side, facing the Capitol Mall. I lived
within walking distance of the
Capitol, and was one of the relatively
small assemblage that observed Chief
Justice Earl Warren administer the
oath of ofce to JFK, hear Robert
Frosts poem and nally the newly
elected president delivering what is
now regarded as one of the signature
inaugural speeches ever. Although
likely written by Ted Sorensen,
Kennedys aide and speech writer, the
sentences: My fellow Americans,
ask not what your country can do for
you, but what you can do for your
country. My fellow world citizens,
ask not what America can do for you,
but what we can do together set the
tone not only for that speech, but for
the new dynamic created by the
Kennedy administration.
Asevere snow storm the night
before not accurately predicted by
the local weather folks made
access into and around the district dif-
cult both for that day and several
days after. I marvel at the hundreds of
thousands and more that inaugura-
tions currently draw.
It was a privilege to observe many
of those 1,000 days of the JFK presi-
dency from up close although, by the
time of his assassination, I had
returned to the Bay Area. But I retain
the fond memories of the beginnings
of the Kennedy presidency, and the
sad recollections of the end of his
presidency and his life.
Gene Mullin is a former member of the
California Assembly, the former
mayor of South San Francisco and a
former teacher.
Personal Kennedy remembrances
For a good claus
O
llie, meet Jolly Jolly Old St. Nick. Claws
would cuddle up with Claus and the resulting
cuteness would nearly make my iPhone camera
explode and perhaps motivate me to mail out personal-
ized holiday cards this season for the first time in
years.
At least thats how I
thought my dogs meet-
and-greet with Santa
would go when I forced my
furry 4-year-old into a red
and green sweater com-
plete with tasseled bow
and headed to the
Peninsula Humane
Societys Center for
Compassion. PHS/SPCA
is hosting pet photos
with Santa to raise money
for homeless animals
not to mention give us
crazy animal owners yet
one more excuse to dress up the critters, coo and pre-
tend they share our human characteristics.
The annual event welcomes all pets dogs, cats,
goats and even snakes, according to PHS.
If Santa can manhandle a slithering reptile, he should
be able to keep my shy 13-pound boy from tangling up
in his beard and maybe coax that puppy-like grin he
usually reserves for fuzzy balls and his nighttime duck
t oy, I figured.
But like any young child worth his salt, Ollie was not
so easily convinced this stranger in the red suit was
deserving of unbridled affection and trust. You know
those classic Santa visit photos we all seem to have
in my case, my older brother is smiling as though
Santa will really bring him whatever toy while my 1-
year-old self is screaming bloody murder? Ollie wasnt
quite that unsure but the result was certainly far from
the image of his ears flopping happily forward and his
head cocked sweetly to the side.
An owner with a ball of fluff an Akita maybe?
got to Santa before our turn. Smile! she coaxed the
scarf-wrapped puppy while a woman dressed as an elf
squeaked a toy as a way to get his attention.
See? He can do it, I said to Ollie, taking the same
shame tactic I used recently at the rabies clinic as
young puppies took the shot bravely.
Santa did his best, too.
Were you a good dog this year? he asked as Ollie
gave him the squinty eye.
I bit my tongue about the time he got into the dog
treats. That time with the couch cushion. The fun game
of pulling through his collar and dashing into the
street. The tendency to turn off his hearing when called
for bath time.
Ollie might be on Santas naughty list but I certainly
wasnt going to be the one to throw him under the bus.
Ollie didnt stick around quite long enough to submit
a wish list but thats OK.
For what could he possibly ask? He doesnt need his
two front teeth; he definitely has those although the
ones on the bottom have settled into an adorably fierce
underbite that belies his skittish personality.
Everything else important in his world are also already
available the electric blanket, peanut butter, the
turquoise squeaky rubber squirrel that he insists on
stealing from his canine older brother, the reality show
which is simply looking out the front window to assess
passersby and leaves. Both appear equally shady in his
estimation. And as with the mailman, they disappear
when he barks which makes him think it does the trick
(dont tell Santa).
Besides he already won the puppy lottery with his
adoption four years ago as I tell him every time an
SPCA commercial comes on television and Sarah
McLachlan sings about the arms of the angels.
Before we left, an elf offered Ollie a treat as reward for
sticking out the trip to Santa. He passed. I guess in the
end he got exactly what he wanted a trip home.
Photos with Santa are noon to 4 p.m. Saturday Dec. 7
and Dec. 14 at the Center for Compassion, 1450
Rollins Road, Burlingame. The cost is a $10 donation

Big movers

NEW YORK The stock market
continued its sluggish start to the
month on Wednesday.
The broader market fell for fourth
straight day, its longest losing streak
in more than two months. A payroll
company reported that U.S. businesses
last month added the most jobs in a
year, and investors worried that the lat-
est sign of growth could mean the Fed
begins pulling back on its stimulus
sooner than expected.
Sears fell sharply after its CEO
reduced his stake in the department
store chain.
The latest bout of investor anxiety
about the Feds plans comes ahead of
the governments closely watched
monthly employment report on
Friday. The Feds $85 billion in
monthly bond purchases have support-
ed financial markets and given
investors an incentive to buy stocks
by making bonds seem relatively
expensive.
After surging this year, stocks have
had a slow start to December, usually
one of the strongest months for the
market. The Standard & Poors 500
index has dropped 0.7 percent so far,
paring its gain for the year to 25.7 per-
cent. Even so, the markets surge has
left some investors nervous. They
dont want to add to their holdings
when the market may have reached a
peak.
Things have been up and down,
said Bob Gavlak, a wealth adviser with
Strategic Wealth Partners. Theres
some general angst about whether the
market is overvalued and when is it
going to come back down.
Sears fell $4.63, or 8.3 percent, to
$50.92 after the companys CEO, bil-
lionaire hedge-fund manager Eddie
Lampert, reduced his stake in the
department store chain to less than
half.
CF Industries was the biggest gainer
in the S&P500 index, surging $22.88,
or 10.7 percent, to $237.07. The fer-
tilizer company told investors that it
was evaluating whether to increase its
dividends and said it expected to have
signicant additional cash to give
shareholders.
The Dow Jones industrial average
fell 24.85 points, or 0.2 percent, to
15,889.77. The S&P 500 index fell
2.34 points, or 0.1 percent, to
1, 792. 81. The Nasdaq composite
edged up 0.80 point to 4,038.
As stocks slumped, the yield on the
10-year Treasury note rose to its high-
est level in more than two months.
The yield climbed to 2.84 percent
from 2.78 percent on Tuesday, resum-
ing its upward trajectory on signs that
the economy is improving. In
September, the yield reached 3 per-
cent, rising from a years low of 1.63
percent in May. Back then, investors
speculated that the Fed was set to
announce that it would cut back on its
stimulus.
Investors are following Treasury
rates closely because they are used as a
benchmark for setting many kinds of
borrowing rates, such as those on
mortgages.
However, it will be the speed at
which interest rates climb, rather than
the absolute level that they reach, that
will be crucial for the economy and the
stock market, said Quincy Krosby, a
market strategist at Prudential
Financial.
Markets can get used to a gradual
move, said Krosby.
The stock market has had an out-
standing year. The Dow and the S&P
500 index have climbed to record lev-
els. The two months when the stock
market declined came during periods
when investors thought the Fed was
poised to ease back on its stimulus.
Higher rates will push up borrowing
costs, but stock investors should wel-
come the end of stimulus because it
shows the economy is strengthening,
said Doug Cote, chief market strategist
at ING Investment Management.
Market remains sluggish
Newsweek to start printing again next year
NEWYORK Paper copies of Newsweek will again
roll off the presses starting next year.
Editor-in-Chief Jim Impoco says the news magazines
owners, IBT Media, want to hit the reset button and
move to a business model where a weekly print maga-
zine would be mainly supported by subscription fees
instead of advertising.
Impoco said in an interview Wednesday that ofcials
havent decided how much the magazine will cost, but
its expected to be less than $10 per issue.
Newsweek had been struggling for years when The
Washington Post Co. sold it for $1 in 2010 to stereo
equipment magnate Sidney Harman, who died the fol-
lowing year. Before he died, Harman placed Newsweek
into a joint venture with IAC/InterActiveCorps The
Daily Beast website, a move intended to help widen its
online audience.
Newsweek ceased print publication at the end of 2012.
The online magazine was sold to IBT, which owns
online publications including International Business
Times, Medical Daily and Latin Times, in August for an
undisclosed sum.
Disney raises annual dividend to 86 cents
NEWYORK Disney is raising its annual dividend
to 86 cents from 75 cents.
The Walt Disney Co. says it is boosting its dividend
by 15 percent after its third-consecutive year of record
net income, earnings per share, and revenue.
The Burbank companys next dividend is payable Jan.
16 to shareholders of record on Dec. 16.
Disney also says it will hold its next annual meeting
on March 18 in Portland, Ore.
Business briefs

SAN FRANCISCO Activist
investor Carl Icahn is seeking the sup-
port of Apple shareholders as he tries
to pressure the iPhone maker into
spending more of its cash to buy back
the companys stock.
Icahn red the latest volley in his
two-month-old crusade with a
Wednesday disclosure that he has sub-
mitted a proposal to Apple Inc. that
would enable the companys share-
holders to vote on his ideas early next
year. The announcement came on
Icahns own Twitter account and in an
interview with Time magazine.
The attempt to gather more allies for
Icahns cause could set up a showdown
between an acerbic billionaire and one
of the worlds most powerful compa-
nies.
But this battle seems unlikely to be
as acrimonious as the many other
attacks that Icahn has led on corporate
boards that havent acceded to his
wishes after he has bought large stakes
in their companies.
As he has in previous public state-
ments, Icahn used his Time interview
to express his admiration for Apple
CEO Tim Cook, one
of the eight direc-
tors on the compa-
nys board.
Tim Cook is
doing a good job
with the business,
Icahn told Time. I
think hes good
whether he does
what I want or not.
The comments were made as part of a
Time story that hails Icahn as the
most important investor in America
on the magazines cover.
In another sign that Icahn is trying
to maintain a cordial relationship with
Apple even as he pesters the company,
he made his proposal in a precatory
form that makes it nonbinding even if
a major of shareholders vote for it.
Nevertheless, Apples board could face
a backlash if it ignored the will of
shareholders, even on a nonbinding
measure.
Icahn, 77, didnt respond to a request
for comment. He has been pushing
Apple to spend $150 billion buying
back its own stock since hosting
Cook at a dinner in his New York apart-
ment in late September. That meeting
came after Icahn notied Apple that he
had been accumulating stock in the
company because he believes the
shares are undervalued.
In his Wednesday tweet, Icahn said
he is no longer pressing for Apple to
spend $150 billon buying back its
stock. He didnt specify a new target
amount.
In his last public disclosure made in
late October, Icahn said he owned 4.7
million Apple shares, or less than 1
percent of the companys stock.
Apple confirmed it has received
Icahns proposal, but didnt reveal
anything about its content or whether
it met the criteria to be included on the
agenda of the companys annual meet-
ing. The Cupertino company hasnt
set the date for the meeting yet, but it
is usually held in late February.
As part of our regular review
process, we are once again actively
seeking our shareholders input on our
program, and as we said in October, the
management team and our board are
engaged in an ongoing discussion
about it which is thoughtful and delib-
erate, Apple spokesman Steve
Dowling said. He said the board will
announce any changes to its plans for
its $147 billion cash hoard early next
year.
Icahn ups ante in crusadefor Apple buyback

TOKYO General Motors says its
in Japan for the long haul despite sales
of Cadillac and Chevrolet models bare-
ly surpassing 1,000 vehicles a year.
There has never been much appetite
in Japan for left-hand drive gas guz-
zling U.S. autos, and there are many
informal barriers to foreign automakers
making it here.
But GM executives see a glimmer of
hope in the fact sales of its luxury
nameplates have doubled in the past
three years.
The automaker is trying to lure
Japanese buyers with the new Cadillac
CTS and Chevrolet Corvette, which it
says boast better quality and mileage.
GM Japan Managing Director Sumito
Ishii declined to give a sales target
Wednesday, but said part of the Detroit
automakers sales strategy is to
approach buyers who may not have pre-
conceptions about GM.
General Motors Co. has also begun to
offer models with the steering wheel on
the right, which is standard in Japan.
We have just begun our ght, Ishii
told reporters at the Foreign
Correspondents Club in Tokyo. We
offer attractive qualities that you cant
nd in Japanese and European cars.
Ishii and Gregg Sedewitz, director of
sales and marketing, said the cars repre-
sent American luxury and are synony-
mous with risk taking, coolness and
Hollywood celebrities.
The Cadillac CTS comes packed with
the latest technology, such as a light-
weight structure and a direct injection
turbo engine, and sells for 5.99 million
yen ($59,900) and 6.99 million yen
($69,900).
The Corvette, which ranges from
9.29 million yen ($92,900) to 11.59
million yen ($115,900) including the
convertible models, is the greenest
Corvette ever, delivering 12.3 kilome-
ters per liter.
They go on sale in Japan from April
and May next year.
Japanese consumers have historical-
ly favored European imports and home-
made cars over American models,
including luxury brands.
Annual sales of the Lexus, the luxury
offering from Toyota Motor Corp., the
worlds top automaker, total about
40,000 vehicles in Japan. Annual sales
for the BMWare about that same num-
ber.
In Japan, General Motors has high hopes, low sales

Rivalry heating up as Sunday nears
Joe Looney takes on key offensive line role
Seattle linebackers display their versatility
By Tim Booth
RENTON, Wash. Pete Carroll believed
the Seattle Seahawks
defense didnt need gim-
micks to shut down New
Orleans.
He thought Seattles
standard defensive princi-
ples would be good
enough.
Carroll was right.
In particular, Monday
nights win highlighted
the versatility of Seattles linebackers.
K.J. Wright hounded Saints tight end
Jimmy Graham all game, limiting him to
three receptions on nine targets. Bobby
Wagner was just as important shadowing
Darren Sproles out of the backeld.
And because it came on Monday night, the
way each played garnered attention.
I made a lot of plays in the open eld,
snifng out screens and showing my cover-
age ability, Wright said. And it was
Monday night football too so everybody
was watching. It was against some really
good players and a good offense. It just
stood out, this game.

SANTA CLARA A little-known offen-
sive lineman with less

NFLexperience could nd
himself starting for San
Francisco in its biggest
game of the year yet.
Every Sunday, Joe
Looney goes through his
own pregame practice on
the Candlestick Park eld
well before his 49ers
teammates on the active roster do it for real.
Such is life on the practice squad, or devel-
opment squad as it is called around here.
Forced into his rst regular action at right
guard early in Sundays 23-13 victory
against St. Louis when left tackle Joe Staley
went down and Alex Boone shifted to
replace him, Looney impressed his team-
mates and coaches with how quickly he set-
tled into his position.
Its helping the team out any way I can,
Looney said. I know those guys are relying
on me and Im relying on the guys. Its a
team game. You just always have to be
ready. It (stinks) to see Joe Staley go down,
a Pro Bowler.

THOUSAND OAKS Tiger Woods
believes its harder than ever to win on the
PGATour because of the increasing depth of
talent of the players.
And most of them are at his tournament
this week.
The World Challenge gets underway
Thursday, held at Sherwood Country Club
for the last time, and the eld is so strong
that the entire 18-man eld is in the top 30
in the world ranking. Thats what makes it
difcult to win trophies.
And whats why Woods laughs at using the
phrase pretty good to describe a year in
which he won ve times on the PGATour.
I think its deeper now than it ever has
been, Woods said. There is more young
talent. There are more guys winning golf
tournaments for the rst time. If you look at
the major championships, how long did we
go from basically Phil winning and Phil
winning?
He was referring to the 13 majors played
between Phil Mickelson winning the 2010
Masters and the British Open this year.
Eleven of those champions had never won a
major, the exceptions being Ernie Els and
Rory McIlroy.
Of those 11 rst-time major champions,
only Darren Clarke has fallen lower than
No. 40 in the world.
Its more difcult to win events now,
Woods said.
He pointed to advancements in equip-
ment, particularly from wood drivers and
wound golf balls. Woods says the younger
players who hit the ball high are shocked
to see the ball get moved by the wind.
For a lot of us who grew up playing bala-
ta balls, you wanted to get that thing down.
You didnt want it up in that wind because it
got pushed around like you wouldnt
believe, he said. Its a totally different
game. Guys have evolved, and I think
theyve become much more aggressive now
than they ever used to be because of equip-
ment.
Separating the best players is getting
more difcult.
Graeme McDowell set a target to get back
into the top ve in the world at the start of
the season. He wanted a certain amount of
world ranking points that he gured would
do the trick, and he about reached that level.
Little did he know that so many other play-
ers also raised the level of their game.
Its fun to be part of it, McDowell said.
Woods dominated the PGA Tour with ve
wins against ve tough elds, which also
gave him another Vardon Trophy and money
title. Henrik Stenson became the rst play-
er to win the FedEx Cup on the PGATour and
the Race to Dubai on the European Tour.
Adam Scott and Phil Mickelson had multi-
ple wins around the world that included his-
toric majors Scott was the rst Australian
in a green jacket at Augusta National,
Mickelson won a British Open that not even
he thought he could ever win.
Jordan Spieth nished No. 7 in the FedEx
Cup even though he didnt have status on
the PGATour at the start of the year. Hideki
Matsuyama became the rst rookie to win
the Japan Golf Tour money title, and he did-
nt even turn pro until April.
And this list of characters doesnt include
McIlroy, who began the year at No. 1 and is
just now starting to emerge from a slump.
Golf deeper than ever,
most are at Sherwood By Will Graves
PITTSBURGH Heres another adjective
Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin can
call his ill-timed two-step onto the eld last
Thursday night against Baltimore.
Expensive.
The NFL ned Tomlin $100,000 on
Wednesday for interfering with Baltimores
Jacoby Jones on a kickoff return in the third
quarter of a 22-20 loss to the Ravens on
Thanksgiving night.
The ne is the second-highest ever levied
by the league on a head coach, behind only the
$500,000 the NFLdocked New Englands Bill
Belichick in 2007 for spying on an oppo-
nents defensive signals.
There is also the chance the Steelers have a
draft pick taken away because the conduct
affected a play on the eld. Though he was
not penalized, the league said the Steelers
should have been agged 15 yards for
unsportsmanlike conduct.
All that from what Tomlin called an embar-
rassing, inexcusable case of being mesmer-
ized while standing in a restricted area that
separates the sideline from the playing eld
and staring at the video board during Jones
73-yard return.
Jones had to swerve to avoid running into
the coach and was tackled during a return that
might have gone for a touchdown if not for the
obstruction. Tomlin briey stepped onto the
eld before he jumped back.
Tomlin insists the blunder was not inten-
tional but has no plans to appeal the ruling.
I apologize for causing negative attention
to the Pittsburgh Steelers organization,
Tomlin said in a statement Wednesday. I
accept the penalty that I received. I will no
longer address this issue as I am preparing for
an important game this Sunday against the
Miami Dolphins.
Jones didnt blame Tomlin for his own
inability to score on the return, but his team-
mates believe the move put the coach and the
league in a difcult position.

ALAMEDA The Oakland
Raiders may have to reach way
down on the depth chart to ll out
their backeld for Sundays game
in New York.
Darren McFadden is sidelined
again, this time with an ankle
injury. Rashad Jennings has made
progress since sustaining a con-
cussion last week but has yet to be
cleared. Not even third-stringer
Jeremy Stewart, who is nursing a
combination of ankle and knee
injuries, was able to practice
Wednesday.
That forced the Raiders to turn to
a player who hadnt taken a single
snap at running back since 2012.
Taiwan Jones, a fourth-round
pick who was converted to corner-
back during the offseason, prac-
ticed with the rst-team offense
and could conceivably start
against the Jets if Oaklands
injured running backs arent able
to do so.
Once I got out there everything
started coming naturally, just like
riding a bike, said Jones, who is
also one of Oaklands top special
teams players. The more reps I
got, the more comfortable I was.
Weve got a lot of backs down ...
so just in case. Youve got to pre-
pare for the worst.
The oft-injured McFadden has
already missed four games this
season with hamstring injuries.
He came back to play against
Dallas on Thanksgiving, but car-
ried just ve times for 13 yards and
apparently injured his ankle at
some point during the 31-24 loss.
The fourth overall pick in 2008,
McFadden was unable to practice
Wednesday and his status for
Sunday is uncertain.
Its more than what we initially
had thought so he wasnt able to
go today, Raiders coach Dennis
Allen said. Hopefully well be
able to get him out there soon but
I dont know.
Jennings situation is just as
questionable.
The veteran backup leads
Oakland with a career-best 588
yards and has provided Oaklands
running game with a much-needed
boost while McFadden has been
out. Jennings, however, has not
been cleared to play since getting
hit late in the fourth quarter
against Dallas after catching a
short pass from quarterback Matt
McGloin.
Jennings, who missed the nal
four games of the 2012 season
with Jacksonville because of a
concussion, passed some of the
tests required by the NFL for play-
ers with concussions and was lim-
ited in practice.
With Stewart joining McFadden
on the list of players not practic-
ing, Jones was pulled off defense
and inserted into the offense.
Later in the Raiders locker
room, Jones got confused when
the players began leaving for
meetings. He wasnt sure whether
to go to the offense or defense.
Ill just start with special teams
and go from there, Jones said.
Allen didnt seem too con-
cerned, even though the Jets own
the NFLs top-rated run defense.
We have to be prepared with the
guys that we have to have some-
body step up, Allen said.
Taiwans done a great job for us
all year long on special teams.
Hes played at a Pro Bowl level, so
having a guy with that type of ver-
satility that can go over and play
defense but yet can be a guy that
can get us some snaps on offense

The Raiders ability to run the
ball could directly affect McGloin.
Oaklands undrafted rookie
starter passed for three touch-
downs without an interception
when the Raiders piled up 165
yards on the ground against
Houston on Nov. 17. Theyve had
just 143 rushing yards over the
past two games, however, and
McGloins performance has
dipped accordingly.
While hes passed for 515 yards
in the two games both losses
McGloin has thrown just one
touchdown with two intercep-
tions.
I know the backs are helping
each other out right now with dif-
ferent things, McGloin said. I
have no doubt whatever guy thats
in there will get the job done.

OAKLAND If those independ-
ent league road trips werent hum-
bling enough for Scott Kazmir,
starting over from square one with
his delivery and mechanics sure
did the trick.
As Kazmir looks back a couple
of years now, a fresh $22 million,
two-year contract with the
Oakland Athletics in hand, that
challenging time in his baseball
career is all worthwhile.
The past couple years the
organization has had a great team,
a great fan base and that denitely
swayed my decision a little bit,
said Kazmir, who drew serious
interest from several clubs.
The two-time defending AL West
champion As announced the deal
Wednesday after Kazmir passed his
physical. The addition of Kazmir
lls a key rotation spot with a
player plenty familiar with the
division after his stint pitching
for the Los Angeles Angels.
As general manager Billy
Beane, who also made three trades
in the past three days to build his
2014 roster, isnt ready to pencil
Kazmir into a particular spot in
the clubs young rotation. That
will be up to manager Bob
Melvin.
The advantage of having as
much good starting pitching as
you can get is something that has
helped make us successful, Beane
said. The more we looked at it,
the more we thought we should
jump on the opportunity to bring
him in. Having ve good starters,
and I think in some respects we
have more, puts us, puts the club
in a position of strength.
That was before the two-time
All-Star was limited to one start in
2011 for the Angels before going
on the disabled list with a lower
back strain and being released.
The 29-year-old Kazmir then spent
the 2012 season with independent
Sugar Land before bouncing back
to go 10-9 with a 4.04 ERA in 29
starts and 158 innings for
Cleveland this year.
Pitching in the AL West, Im
very comfortable there. I like
pitching in the Oakland stadium,
Kazmir said. After my time in Los
Angeles with the Angels, I kind of
did a lot of self-evaluating and a
lot of hard work getting to where I
was last year.
Athletics finalize two-year contract with Kazmir
WIKIPEDIA>ORG
Scott Kazmir went 10-9 last season
with the Cleveland Indians.
Seattles defensive performance
against New Orleans was its most
impressive of the season.
The Seahawks allowed just 188 total
yards to Drew Brees and a Saints team
that came into the game with the No. 2
pass offense in NFL. The 188 total
yards were the fewest allowed by
Seattle this season and fewest since
giving up 154 yards to Arizona in
December 2012.
Most of the attention coming into
the game was on the depleted
Seahawks secondary with corner-
backs Brandon Browner (injury) and
Walter Thurmond (suspension) out,
the night became a display of
Seattles talent at linebacker with
Wright and Wagner the standouts.
Despite his belief, Carroll wanted
proof that his linebackers could handle
the problems the Saints offense would
present.
With Seattle having a bye week
before facing the Saints, Carroll asked
his coaches to come up with lm clips
showing Wright could handle Graham
in coverage and Wagner could stay
with Sproles.
The hope was to provide evidence
that Seattle would not need elaborate
schemes to slow down two of the
Saints biggest offensive threats.
I was challenging the fellas with
all of the options that we could go
to, Carroll said. Theres a variety
of ways that you can try and match
things up and the coaches really felt
like we could do it with the matchups
that were kind of normal for us. I
said, OK, well show me. So they did
and they were right.
Seattle used a different tactic than
others in keeping Graham from having
a huge game.
There was a thought that the
Seahawks might use Richard Sherman
and follow what New England did when
the Patriots put cornerback Aqib Talib
on Graham and held him without a
catch.
But instead the job fell mostly to
Wright. He played Graham aggressive-
ly on the line of scrimmage and tried to
alter his route from the start of the
play. Graham had two receptions on
the Saints lone scoring drive and one
catch on the rst play of the fourth
quarter when Seattle was well ahead.
If you let him run free its just like
seven-on-seven to him. So youve got
to get into his face and bother him a
little bit and just win on your lever-
age, Wright said.
SPORTS 14
Looney began this week working at
right guard with the rst-team offense
given that Staleys status for Sundays
game against Seattle (11-1) remains
unclear as he nurses a right knee
injury.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday
he wouldnt rule out Staley or left guard
Mike Iupati, who has missed the past
two games with a sprained left knee.
Neither practiced Wednesday.
So, just who is Joe Looney? Many
around the league might be asking that
very question this week and its an
obvious one. Especially considering
Looney only made his NFL debut for
three plays in the waning moments of
the 49ers Nov. 25 Monday night win
at Washington before being called
upon in a much more important situa-
tion Sunday.
Staley went down at the 11:13 mark
of the rst quarter against the Rams
and didnt return.
Joe (Looney) did an amazing job to
come in, perform the way he did, quar-
terback Colin Kaepernick said
Wednesday. He pretty much locked
their front down the whole game. So,
hats off to him.
In fact, several of Looneys team-
mates have credited him for carrying
himself in a way that made it tough to
tell he had never done this before at
the NFL level. Thats what center
Jonathan Goodwin shared with offen-
sive line coach Mike Solari.
You never really know what to
expect with a guy who hasnt played,
Goodwin said. One thing about him,
he works hard and hes a student of the
game. The one thing I told Coach
Solari that I felt from the moment he
came in the game Sunday was you got a
condent vibe from him. His rst real
action for him to be in that position
and for him to come in and be that way
that says a lot about him.
The 49ers selected the 23-year-old
Looney in the fourth round of the 2012
draft out of Wake Forest. Little did they
know he would break into a veteran,
close-knit offensive line in December
with a playoff berth at stake as an
emergency ll-in.
Looney and the other young O-line-
men who arent usually on the game-
day 53-man roster are among the rst
on the eld to go through their own
routine to stay ready.
Hes on it. He prepares very dili-
gently, offensive coordinator Greg
Roman said. Hes a very profession-
al, intelligent young man. Love his
aggressiveness, too. He went after
people, which is what we like.
Without question he played really
well. He was just genuinely excited to
be out there and have an opportunity
to play, and it showed in his perform-
ance. We had condence in him, but
its his rst time out there doing it and
he stepped up big. Were very
pleased.
Enough so that he could get another
shot Sunday against the NFC West-
leading Seahawks, who already
clinched their playoff berth and could
capture the division crown with a road
win at San Francisco?
That is still to be determined.
Harbaugh is never one to offer his
opponent any kind of lead time, and
especially not Pete Carroll and the
archrival Seahawks.
Whatever happens, Looney earned
the respect of his teammates.
He just did a great job throughout
the whole game, fullback Bruce
Miller said. There was no fall off, no
drop off with Joe (Staley) leaving. Im
really impressed with the way he han-
dled himself. Hes condent, and very
humble in his approach. He prepares
like a starter, so when he goes in there,
hes a starter.

SAN FRANCISCO Once Ryan Vogelsong got over the
hurt and frustration that followed when the Giants declined
his option last month, the pitcher realized he still wanted
to stay put in San Francisco.
Being mad never gets anything accomplished, he said
Wednesday.
Vogelsong is right back where he wanted to be all along,
with the ability to still do nearly as well nancially, too.
He nalized his $5 million, one-year contract with the
Giants on Wednesday after passing his physical a
month after the club didnt pick up his $6.5 million con-
tract option for 2014. San Francisco owed him a $300,000
buyout.
Now, his new deal includes perform-
ance bonuses for starts and innings
pitched.
This whole deal really isnt about
ego and money for me, Vogelsong
said. This game never has been about
that. Its about being the best pitcher I
can be and winning baseball games.
While it seemed early in free agency
the sides might go their separate ways,
they found common ground.
First and foremost our intent wasnt necessarily to part
ways with Vogey, general manager Brian Sabean said. I
knew in my heart we would, as things go, nd a way to
work out a way to get him back under a different contract
scenario, and thats exactly what happened.
Vogelsong is eager to forget the frustration of last sea-
son and begin fresh in a place and clubhouse where he
already feels comfortable.
Obviously when the option got declined, I was upset
and more hurt than anything else, Vogelsong said. After
taking a couple days and gathering myself and reading
between the lines a little bit personally, at the end of the
day I felt San Francisco and this family was the best place
for me and for Nicole and we were going to try to do what
we needed to do to make this work and get back here.
He went 4-6 with a 5.73 ERA in 19 starts and 103 2-3
innings during an injury-shortened season. He broke two
bones in the right pinkie area of his pitching hand and
also dislocated a knuckle on a swing May 20 and underwent
surgery the next day. He had ve pins inserted in his hand.
My hands a non-issue, its back to normal, he said.
Just maintenance to make sure its as strong as I can get
it.
Vogelsong won 13 and 14 games the previous two sea-
sons. The journeyman pitcher became one of baseballs
feel-good comeback stories in 2011, when he made the
All-Star team after joining the Giants rotation rst as a l l
in for the injured Barry Zito.
Vogelsong had toiled through three seasons in the
Japanese League before Triple-A stints in 2010 for the
Phillies and Angels. In the Bay Area with the team that
originally drafted him in the fifth round in 1998,
Vogelsong became a front-line starter at last.
Invited to spring training in 2011 on a minor league
deal, he went on to win the teams Willie Mac Award
named for Hall of Famer Willie McCovey and is voted on
by players, coaches and training staff for the most inspi-
rational Giants player on the eld and in the clubhouse.
Vogelsong set a career high for wins while going 13-7
with a 2.71 ERAin 30 games and 28 starts.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. The
prosecutor overseeing the investi-
gation of sexual assault allega-
tions against Florida State quarter-
back Jameis Winston said
Wednesday that it is completed.
State Attorney Willie Meggs has
scheduled a news conference at 2
p.m. Thursday in his office to
announce his ndings. Meggs said
investigators have learned as
much as they can about the
December 2012 incident.
We think we have exhausted all
investigative tools, he said.
Winston has led the Seminoles
to the No. 1 ranking, and they will
play for a conference title
Saturday, with a shot at the nation-
al crown.
The quarterback also is the lead-
ing candidate for the Heisman, and
many voters are waiting to see
whether Winston will be charged
with a crime before casting their
ballots. The deadline for Heisman
ballots to be turned in is Dec. 9.
ESPN has previously reported
that DNA belonging to Winston
was found in the underwear of the
accuser. Alawyer for Winston has
suggested that the star quarterback
and the accuser had consensual
sex. But the family of the victim
has accused the 19-year-old of
rape.
Meggs has said he wanted to
make sure prosecutors completed a
thorough investigation before
making a nal decision. He has
also said several times that its up
to prosecutors to determine
whether there is a reasonable
chance of conviction.
The fact that Meggs has sched-
uled a news conference as
opposed to getting a warrant for
Winstons arrest could be seen
as a sign that he will not file
charges.
Meggs said earlier Wednesday
that the end of the investigation
should answer some lingering
questions about how the investi-
gation was handled and why it
took 11 months before prosecu-
tors were notied.
When you all look at this,
when the dust all settles, youll
say Man, there were some things
that could have been done back in
December of 12 that could have
cleared this up a whole lot easier
than November of 2013, he said.
Timothy Jansen, the attorney
representing Winston, said he
does not know what Meggs will
announce.
But Jansen said he hopes that
following Meggs Thursday
announcement, Winston will
nally address the investigation.
If he looked at evidence we did,
we feel condent he will nd that
Mr. Winston did nothing wrong,
Jansen said.
Patricia Carroll, the attorney
representing the accuser, did not
immediately respond to a request
for comment.
The alleged sexual assault was
first reported to police in
December.

also about giving back. Toys for Tots and
InnVision Shelter Network will benet from
the event.
This is denitely a great new tradition
that were looking forward to embracing and
were hoping to bring people downtown to
benet the community and support these
charities because thats what the holiday
season is all about, said DSMA Executive
Director Jessica Evans.
The event will include local merchants
doing a Nativity scene, local restaurants and
Whole Foods giving out free snacks and
warm drinks, there will be arts and crafts
activities for children, a jump house, live
music and the Holiday Train festooned with
60,000 lights will be stopping at the San
Mateo station. The San Mateo Fireghters
Association will arrive with its 1920s re
truck and do its annual Christmas tree light-
ing, Evans said.
The Christmas-clad Caltrain is running
through the weekend and making select
stops for 20-minute shows along the way,
said Caltrain spokeswoman Christine
Dunn. It will stop at the San Mateo station
at 6:20 p.m. Sunday with Christmas charac-
ters like Mr. and Ms. Claus, Rudolph and
elves in tow. The traditional barbershop
chorus the Golden Chordsmen will be per-
forming at the station as well, Dunn said.
Representatives from the Salvation Army
and U.S. Marine Corps Reserve will be col-
lecting new, unwrapped toys for the charity
Toys for Tots, Dunn said.
Its really a wonderful way to kick off the
holiday season by doing it the rst weekend
in December. Its a great way for people to
get into the holiday spirit and we also want
to be able to collect the toys and have them
distributed in time for Christmas, Dunn
said.
The DSMA is pairing with the First
Baptist Church of San Mateo and the
InnVision Shelter Network to benet First
Step For Families transitional housing in
San Mateo. The public can donate adult win-
ter and professional clothing as well as gro-
cery store food cards that will be distributed
through the emergency and transitional
housing facility.
For the DSMA, when you have a
Christmas celebration, it should be benet-
ing somebody, Evans said.
First Step for Families has been part of
the neighborhood for a long time, said Mila
Zelkha, spokeswoman for InnVi si on
Shelter Network.
Its been poignant to see the merchants
involved with the [DSMA] to discover that
our facility has been in their midst the
whole time and that the need is very local
and tangible. This is an event thats a way
for the entire community to engage and
rally around helping these families,
Zelkha said.
Supporting the local community by
arranging an event that is joyous to attend,
supports local commerce and is charitable
to the community and is what Christmas is
all about, Evans said. Most of those who are
in need within the community struggle year
round and taking pause during the season to
remember what the festivities are really
about is important, Zelkha said.
Holidays provide us with an opportunity
to tell these stories, Zelkha said. Its
when everyone has their fellow neighbor in
mind and when we as a community are
reflecting on everything we have to be
thankful for.
The event begins 4 p.m. and continues
through 7 p.m., when the Holiday Train will
head down the track. The reghter tree
lighting will begin around 5:30 and the
Holiday Train will arrive about 6:20 p.m.

chants, he said. The council first dis-
cussed the possibility of nixing the
committee in early October because
of lack of productivity from the
group, a number of councilmembers
said.
They (the council) wanted to see
more activity in downtown through
the committee, but we havent had the
budgets, said committee member
Dan Rogers. We dont have the sales
tax base or the transient occupancy
tax that Burlingame has. We used to
have the redevelopment money.
The committee is intended to con-
sist of 10 members who serve a term
of four years and may either reside or
work in Millbrae. The committee was
established to guide the implementa-
tion of the America Downtown
Action Agenda and advise the council
on downtown issues. Members may
be reappointed to additional terms
and arent paid. The committee has
struggled to reach a quorum because
only eight of these seats are filled
and the rest should be filled,
Fitzgibbons said at the last council
meeting. Councilwoman Anne Oliva
was on the committee, but can no
longer serve in her capacity as a
councilwoman.
Nothing works without funding,
said Chair Harry Aubright. Several
members suggested that forming a
Business Improvement District, sim-
ilar to other cities in the area, could
be the key to having a more produc-
tive economy in Millbrae. These dis-
tricts are revitalization tools for
commercial neighborhoods and allow
business owners to approve an
assessment to pay to increase servic-
es and promote their districts.
Levying a bond for infrastructure
improvements to downtown such as
adding a parking garage, widening
the sidewalks, repaving them and
adding parallel parking after this
happens could be another option,
some members said.
We are deteriorating [downtown],
said committee member Dolores
Tiny Sand. Were not attracting
businesses and the city has a void.
Committee member Desmond Yuen
said San Carlos is an example of mak-
ing change when you dont like what
you see in your downtown.
Meanwhile, Fitzgibbons said he
was hoping the group would better
define itself as a committee rather
than discussing the formation of a
new district.
This is a pie in the sky idea and a
waste of our time, he said. Weve
yet to receive an answer from the City
Council that gives us direction. Tell
us what you (the council) would like
us to do and define our purview.
He said the downtown has become a
mix of restaurant row and insignifi-
cant retail. Its not going to change
unless the citys bureaucracy
changes, he added.
The committee plans on having its
next meeting 8 a.m. Wednesday, Jan.
8 .

We Dont Meet
Our Competition,
We Create It
By Dean Fosdick
Gardening is a forgiving pursuit. Get
it wrong one year and you can start
fresh again the next, wiser, with les-
sons learned.
Study up between planting seasons.
Scan the seed catalogs for bulletproof
plants that anyone with the blackest of
thumbs can grow.
Start small, said Claire Watson,
Wave brand manager for Ball
Horticultural Co. in West Chicago, Ill.
Whether its a vegetable garden or
owers, dont give in to taking on too
much, too soon. Afew small successes
will give you the condence to expand
or at least youll realize your limits.
Learn the rules of the row.
The right plant for the right
place may be a gardening clichi,
but its an accurate one. So, too, is
the caution, Know your (USDA
plant hardiness) zone.
Like humans, plants will perish
without water and food, Watson said.
So plants that can survive the stress of
missing a few waterings, or can with-
stand poor soils and extreme weather,
are the ones to look for.
Some proven low-maintenance vari-
eties include:
Shrubs: hydrangea (paniculata
Levana), spiraea (japonica
Norman) and buttery bush (Buddleia
Miss Molly).
Perennials: Coneflowers
(Cheyenne Sprit, Sombrero),
hosta (Sun and Substance) and black-
eyed Susan (Rudbeckia fulgida
Goldsturm).
Bulbs, rhizomes and tubers: Canna
lilies (Whithelm Pride) and daylilies
(Lilting Belle) can endure a wide vari-
ety of challenging conditions.
Annuals: Dragon Wing red begonia
(full sun to full shade), zinnias
(Profusion and Zahara), angelonia
(Serena, which is deer- and rabbit-
resistant) and Cool Wave pansies.
Plant them in the fall and theyll
bloom until the snow ies, Watson
said of the pansies. Then, theyll re-
bloom to be your rst pop of color in
the spring.
Succulents and cacti: agave (Parryi
truncata Mescal), sedum
(Sarmentosum Yellow Moss) and
yucca (Hesperaloe parviflora Texas
Red).
Vegetables: Malibar spinach and
okra (Clemson Spineless for heat
tolerance); Brussels sprouts, garlic,
leeks and parsnips for cold hardiness.
Those veggies are so cold-tolerant
that they can be left in the garden and
allowed to freeze outright, said Robert
Polomski, an extension consumer hor-
ticulturist with Clemson University.
Herbs (rosemary), lettuce, beans and
peppers also are forgiving.
Novice gardeners: Try these bulletproof plants
The right plant for the right placemay be a gardening clichi,
but its an accurate one.
SUBURBAN LIVING 19
By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY
Now that our gardens are dormant and
fall cleanup is well under way if not com-
pleted, many gardeners are turning their
attention to indoor gardening.
I am old enough to remember the house-
plant revolution of the 1970s, when
indoor flora were as popular as long hair
and corduroys. Almost every home had at
least one hanging plant in it, often sus-
pended in some sort of macram hanger.
Terrariums, too, were popular, as were
large tropical foliage plants. Growing
houseplants seemed to add a touch of the
exotic into the suburban homes of yester-
year.
Fads come and go, and houseplants are
again in vogue, and todays specimens are
even more exotic than their 1970s prede-
cessors. We have e-commerce to thank for
that; its easier to find unusual varieties of
plants not sold on the shelves of DIY
stores.
The Internet has also been instrumental
in connecting armature hybridizers and
backyard growers with potentially mil-
lions of plant enthusiasts interested in
trying something new. From unusual suc-
culents to new varieties of dwarf citrus
trees, exotic houseplants are increasing
being found in homes and apartments
across the country.
Websites like the popular Logees
(Logees.com), a greenhouse business
located in Danielson, Conn., caters to this
growing trend and has been expanding its
offerings for the past several years. One of
many internet businesses supplying the
growing demand in exotic plants, Logees
offers an array of houseplants plants much
more diverse than even the hippest of 70s
households could ever have imagined.
I have bought many exotic plants from
Logees over the years, but one of my
favorites is called Streptocarpus.
Its name sounds more like a disease than
a beautiful flowering plant, which may be
why it is often referred to by its common
name, Cape primrose. Orchid-like in
appearance, the flowers have five petals
and are carried on tall, wiry stems that arch
over the plants dark green, strap-like
leaves.
Easy to grow in the house, Cape prim-
rose flowers come in a myriad of colors
ranging from near black to blue, pink,
white, purple, red and bicolors. The flow-
ers themselves can be single, double,
large or small. Some have one flower per
stem while others have multiple.
Streptocarpus grows wild in Central and
East Africa in high mountain woodlands.
They are often found growing on rocks or
fallen tree trunks near streams, where tem-
peratures are cool and light is filtered.
As is the case with most cultivated
plants, they grow best in conditions that
replicate their natural environment as
closely as possible.
Streps like bright light but not direct
sunlight, unless it is early morning or late
afternoon, and they prefer to grow in tem-
peratures that range from 55 to 75 degrees.
Although they like to grow in soil that
drains freely, they do best when the mois-
ture level of the soil remains even but
never soggy. Average potting soil with
extra perlite or sand added works well. If
they become too dry, they will wilt but
will perk back up when watered again.
They are very forgiving that way and in
time will train you to the watering
schedule they need.
Cape primrose likes fertilizer, and a
water-soluble African violet food works
well. If fed regularly, the plants will
reward you with an abundance of flowers.

code, showing a brazen disrespect for
the citys laws, its duly elected of-
cials and its citizens, the suit states.
FlightCar itself sued the city in San
Mateo County Superior Court on Nov.
18, stating the non-compliance identi-
fied at the Millbrae Planning
Commission hearing and in the com-
missions report either relate to mat-
ters which FlightCar had previously
corrected, or matters which are unrelat-
ed to the terms of FlightCars condi-
tional use permit. It also states the
effect of the citys actions has been to
thoroughly and capriciously preju-
dice the rights of the plaintiff by deny-
ing it the ability to operate its busi-
ness.
FlightCars attorney Oliver Lock
Holmes said the latest suit is not unex-
pected as its common for cross com-
plaints to be led.
We believe their revocation of the
use permit is improper, he said.
The odd thing is the city attorney
and personnel admitted FlightCar
was in compliance of the use permit
at the time of meeting it was
revoked. Its very unusual.
The companys primary service is
renting out peoples cars through its
website while traveling, giving them a
share of the proceeds, free airport
parking and a car wash in exchange.
Customers are taken by limousine
from a nearby airport parking lot to
their flights at the San Francisco
International Airport, while the busi-
ness says renters get a cheaper price.
Issues with the city include three
FlightCar rentals being stolen since
the company moved into the 14,159-
square-foot 480 El Camino Real site
on two parcels of the former Daland
Nissan, according to the police depart-
ment. The companys claim that one
cant report a stolen car for ve days is
not true, police said. The suspects in
the cases have criminal records and
this invites crime into the city, police
said.
Additionally, the company ran into
trouble this summer with the San
Francisco City Attorney Dennis
Herrera, who wanted to shut it down
until it complied with the regulations,
including conducting pickups and
dropoffs at a special area, paying 10
percent of gross prots to the airport
and paying a $20 per rental transac-
tion.
On Aug. 15, Fire Marshal Jim Allan
observed two electrical generators on
the site and a neighbor on Hermosa
Avenue reported to staff that a genera-
tor had been operating 24 hours a day.
The use of the generators was never
approved, according to a staff report.
The fire marshal also observed a
makeshift exhaust for the temporary
generator attached to a portable toilet
enclosure. The downspout/exhaust
stack was unprotected and was very
warm to the touch and could have
potentially reached a temperature capa-
ble of burning skin, according to the
report.
Further, there was an empty fire
extinguisher and no smoke detector in
the temporary ofce structure, unau-
thorized curb painting and stored vehi-
cles that presented a potential Class B
re hazard. Dead plants observed on
the property also violated the require-
ment that the landscape must be main-
tained in neat, healthy and growing
condition, according to the report.
Vice Mayor Wayne Lee said the city
cant comment on the suit as it is pend-
ing litigation.

inches tall and 160 pounds. He was
last seen wearing a dark, puffy jacket
and a black flat-billed hat, San Mateo
police Sgt. Dave Norris said.
On Nov. 26, around 6:20 p.m., a
24-year-old San Mateo woman was
walking her dog through Central Park
near the rose garden when the suspect
approached her, struck her and stole
her purse, according to police. The
suspect then fled toward the parks
Japanese Tea Garden. The suspect in
that attack was wearing a green jacket
and black hat.
Two days later on Thanksgiving,
around 10:30 p.m., a suspect struck a
woman waiting at a bus stop at Ninth
Avenue and El Camino Real, very
close to Central Park. The attacker in
that case also made off with the vic-
tims purse, according to police.
In both cases, police said the
women suffered visible but not seri-
ous injuries.
Police officers dispatched to the
scene following both incidents can-
vassed the area but could not locate
the suspect, Norris said.
Increased patrols by both police
and city of San Mateo park rangers
will be employed in Central Park.
Officials are asking the public to be
on alert. Central Park, along with all
other city parks, closes at 10 p.m.
Officials warn that attacks like
these come by surprise, as oppor-
tunistic criminals strike when a
potential victim is distracted many
times when a victim is using a mobile
device.
To avoid becoming a victim, police
advise people to always be aware of
their surroundings and leave brows-
ing on mobile device for a time when
the person is in a safe environment.
Anyone with information about the
two robberies is asked to contact
police at (650) 522-7650 or on the
secret witness line at (650) 522-
7676. Anonymous texts can be sent
to police at (650) 262-3473.
SUSPECT
By Raquel Maria Dillion
BEVERLY HILLS Eytan
Rosenberg had no idea that the man he
let paint a mural on the side his fami-
lys gas station in Hollywood was the
darling of the art world.
Rosenberg had never even heard of
Banksy, when the elusive British
street artist stenciled Flower Girl on
the brick wall of the station in 2008.
He introduced himself, I shook his
hand, Rosenberg recalled. I was
busy, didnt really take much more
time, went back to work.
Now, the 9-by-8 foot artwork depict-
ing a young girl with a basket of owers
and a security camera perching over her
like a vulture is set to go on the auction
block, and auctioneer Michael Doyle
says it could fetch as much as $300,000
on Thursday at Juliens Auctions in
Beverly Hills. It will be one of ve auc-
tioned pieces that Banksy created on
plywood and concrete walls and doors in
Berlin and London.
The works by the provocative
artist who shuns the spotlight were
on display this week alongside
stage costumes worn by famous
rockers at the gallery that special-
izes in celebrity memorabilia.
Rosenberg is now well aware of the
reputation of Banksy. When he sold
the gas station last year, he painstak-
ingly removed the artwork and
installed it in a sturdy aluminum frame.
He joked during a recent interview
that the stencil was almost gone just a
few days after it was nished.
He said one of his employees called
to say the station had been tagged with
graffiti and Rosenberg told him to
paint over it immediately. Then
Rosenberg recalled the conversation
with a friend of a friend the Brit who
wanted to paint his wall.
