Forshey said reusable bags are a good way

Plastic never biodegrades and only 4 percent of paper bags end up being recycled, so
shifting to reusable options makes good

Californias population

By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
accounted for 243,000 of the states new residents. California also had a net gain of
92,000 people moving into the state during
the last fiscal year.
Much of the growth is in urban coastal
counties, with Los Angeles, San Diego,
Orange, Riverside, and Santa Clara counties
adding the most people and providing more

Its almost like we have three states here,
as demographics go, said John Malson, a
research manager in the states Demographic
Research Unit.
Home construction and job opportunities
are recovering in those coastal counties. The
San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley,
which traditionally had slower growth due to
land and housing restrictions, became the
fastest-growing region during the recession
for the first time since the 1860s, Johnson
said.
That growth is now spreading into the second region, the Central Valley. Some counties there were among those with the highest

As part of the plea deal, authorities say
Omuro acknowledged that the website hosted ads posted by prostitutes that were

He also agreed to give up the domain name
and more than $1 million in property and
cash. He is scheduled to be sentenced in

Companies that rely the most on
spending by consumers rose the most
Thursday. The S&P 500 consumer discretionary sector, a category that
includes department stores and other
retailers, gained 0.7 percent, while
makers of consumer staples increased
0.8 percent.
Urban Outfitters, GameStop, Coach,
Best Buy and Macys were among the
biggest gainers.
The rise came after the Commerce
Department said U.S. retail sales rose
by 0.7 percent in November. The
encouraging retail sales report could
not have come at a more crucial time for
retailers, since holiday sales often
mean the difference between retail companies reporting a profit or a loss for
the year.
Falling gasoline prices led to a
decline of 0.8 percent in sales at gas
stations, but that money was likely
spent elsewhere, investors said.
(Lower oil prices) are a very big tax
cut for U.S. consumers, Koesterich
said. Middle-income families are
spending what they would spend on gas
on other parts of the economy.
Another downturn in the price of oil
discouraged buyers.
Oil fell 99 cents to close at $59.95 a
barrel, its first time below $60 a barrel
in more than five years. Thats on top
of steep plunges of $2.88 a barrel on

Adobe posts strong 4Q results, will buy Fotolia
SAN JOSE Adobe Systems Inc. reported fourth-quarter
results that beat Wall Street expectations on Thursday, and
said it will pay $800 million to buy stock image and video
company Fotolia.
Stock of the software maker known for Photoshop,
Illustrator and Acrobat rose $4.52, or 6.5 percent, to
$74.24 in aftermarket trading.
Adobe said Fotolia will be integrated into Adobe Creative
Cloud, which makes the companys software products available through a monthly subscription. It said Fotolia runs a
marketplace of royalty-free photos, graphics, and video
with 34 million images and videos.
The company has been shifting to subscription cloudbased software like Creative Cloud, and away from physical
products. Adobe said it gained 644,000 Adobe Creative
Cloud subscribers during the quarter and now has about 3.5
million subscribers total.
Fotolia is currently owned by the private equity firms
KKR and TA Associates and company management. The deal
is expected to close in the current quarter.

To make room
for Canha on the
40-man roster,
the As designated for assignment outfielder
Shane Peterson.
Mark Canha The deal for
Canha
still
comes with all the guidelines of the
Rule 5 draft though. The As are
required to keep him on the 25-man
major league roster all season or
offer him back to the Marlins.
The As told me theyre planning
for me to be on the roster. Thats the
only way I can stay with them,
Canha said. I think the As wouldnt
have taken a chance on me if they
didnt see me as a big league player
and a guy who can make their roster.
So Im planning on being in the
big leagues this year with the As.
Im excited.
The 2007 West Catholic Athletic
League Most Valuable Player while at
Bellarmine, Canha is coming off one
of his best overall seasons as a pro.
Playing the entire 2014 season at
Marlins Triple-A affiliate New
Orleans, the right-handed slugger hit
.303 with 20 home runs, 82 RBIs and
a .505 slugging percentage, qualifying for the top 20 in the Pacific
Coast League in each category.
Ive always been good with runners in scoring position, Canha
said. I think thats more a testament to me being a good hitter and
having a good approach most of the
time. Ive never seen myself as a
pure power hitter.
More importantly, after ending
his Cal career in 2010 while battling back from preseason surgery
and was never the same again, hitting .223 at Triple-A Iowa in 2013
and .210 in his return there in 2014
until he was traded to the Arizona
Diamondbacks in August for minor
league pitcher Blake Cooper.
Jackson went 3 for 16 in a brief
stint at Diamondbacks affiliate
Triple-A Reno until being called up
in September. He went 0 for 4 in
seven games in Arizona.
The Giants also selected righthanded pitcher Ramon Del Orbe from
the Marlins. The Dominican-born
Del Orbe has pitched at Low-A
Greensboro for the past two seasons.
He was 3-2 with a 5.09 ERA through
16 relief appearances in 2014.

SANTA CLARA San Francisco defensive coordinator Vic Fangio expects outside
linebacker Ahmad Brooks to return to the
49ers starting lineup Sunday at Seattle after
his benching last week for missing a team
meeting.
Yeah, I think he will, provided he keeps
practicing like he did yesterday, Fangio
said Thursday.
Brooks had started 60 straight games
under fourth-year coach Jim Harbaugh
before sitting out a 24-13 loss at Oakland.
Brooks said after the game he inadvertently
missed a morning defensive meeting Dec. 2
but showed up an hour later for a second
meeting focused on domestic violence.
Fangio said Thursday that Brooks also
arrived 20 minutes late to a Dec. 3 meeting,
and the coach didnt know why.
Brooks apologized to Fangio and had a
strong practice Wednesday.
We talked on Tuesday. Hes fine, Fangio
said of Brooks. Had a good day at practice
yesterday and expect him to be fine.

including a pair of 3-pointers. Six other
Knights scored in the contest.
We dont have any star players,
Hillsdale assistant coach Jon Ramirez said.
We have a group of guys that play really
well together.
Ramirez a graduate of Hillsdale in 2000
is in his first year on Stevensons staff.
He previously served as an assistant coach
at Caada College for three years.
The point of pride for Ramirez following
Thursdays win was the defensive play of the
Knights. They broke even with the Trojans
in rebounding with each team grabbing 22
boards. But, like Hillsdales scoring, the
Weatherdon said.
Many of the recommendations about
locker room and bench behavior are similar
to the standard precautions the NHL provides regarding the flu, which is similarly
transmitted.
Simple coughing and sneezing and getting those respiratory droplets on each
other can cause the spread of mumps, Aberg
said. The problem is that it is contagious
before you have symptoms. Thats where it
gets tricky because you dont know youre
going to come down with the mumps, and
youre contagious. Then you are contagious
for five days or so after you have symptoms.
The illness even felled Minnesota ironman defenseman Ryan Suter, the rare
American-born player to be affected.
Every Wild player was offered a booster
shot last month when the virus surfaced.
Suter decided not to take it, and paid the
price. He was the fifth Minnesota player
all defensemen whose cubicles are next to
each other to come down with the
mumps.
Suter, who hadnt missed a game since
joining the Wild in 2012, led the NHL in ice
time each of the last two seasons.
I probably wash my hands more than
anybody, he said. I go out of the way to
make sure Im a clean guy. So for me to get
it, it stunk. I always tell these guys, Youve
got to be mentally strong and youll never
get sick. So theyre all giving me a hard
time.

Hillsdale Station to get to school in

Prior to this season, Cook begged
Stevenson to set up a nonleague game with
St. Francis, but it didnt happen. So, Cook
is daring to dream of somehow meeting his
former school in the CCS playoffs.
Although the two teams are categorized in
different divisions, the Knights could conceivably meet the Lancers if both with their
respective leagues Hillsdale plays in the
Peninsula Athletic League South Division
while St. Francis is in the West Catholic
Athletic League to qualify for the CCS
Open Division bracket.
Thats a dream, to play St. Francis and
beat them, Cook said.

Meanwhile, back at the baseball

story regarding Pablo Sandoval, the
former Giants third baseman.
Hughes, a veteran Major League
front office operative, currently
works for the Boston Red Sox in that

Coast.
Sandoval was lured east to sign a
hefty contract with the Red Sox last
month, much to the remorse of his
devoted San Francisco fans who
learned to love the Panda through
the years.
Not long after that big free-agent
deal became final, Hughes, who lives
in Aptos, was attending Catholic
Mass in that seaside town south of
Santa Cruz; the unhappy priest didnt

According to Hughes, He told me I

leges. In 1962, they moved to the Bay
Area and opened the national headquarters
for Saga in Menlo Park. The Andersons
began collecting art in the mid-1960s
after a trip to Europe, where they admired
works of the French Impressionists. They
initially collected work by Early
Modernists, such as Pablo Picasso and
Henri
Matisse,
the
German
Expressionists, such as Emile Nolde, and
the Early American Modernists, such as
Georgia OKeeffe, Marsden Hartley and
Arthur Dove. By 1969, however, the
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Andersons made the decision to concentrate exclusively on postwar American art.
Over the years, the Andersons spent a
great deal of time and energy educating
themselves about art history and the individual artists whose work they were collecting and they built their collection
without the assistance of outside curators
or consultants.
SHARING THEIR COLLECTION. A
large part of the Andersons collecting
philosophy rests upon their belief that
they are custodians rather than owners of
the art in their collection. They have
worked to share their expansive collection
through loans to museums and special
exhibitions,
including

of Modern Art (2000-01) and An American

Homsley as Boy. Cyril Jamal Cooper and Jeremy Kahn are
noteworthy as Boys fellow orphans.
Plot transitions are aided by Joe Rageys flexible set and
creative, sometimes zany costumes by B. Modern. Some
scenes are enhanced by Wayne Barkers music.
On the other hand, the sound design by Brendan Aanes
overamplifies the actors, several of whom tend to shout
their lines.
The plays weaknesses are most apparent in the first act,
but the second act becomes more interesting as it goes
along.
Peter and the Starcatcher will continue at the Lucie Stern
Theatre, 1305 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, through Jan. 3.

STORM
Continued from page 1
Anderson said.
Sonoma County felt an astonishing
9 inches, while the Sierra Nevada
mountains were expected to gain 1 to
3 feet of snow by the time the storm
dies down, Anderson said.
Winds, while slightly less than projected, peaked in gusts of 56 mph in
Half Moon Bay and 48 mph at the airport. San Joses Mount Hamilton had
above hurricane-force winds of 82
mph and the Sierras a powerful 120
mph, Anderson said.
The choppy waves also came hard,
reaching between 12 and 20 feet along
the coast, Anderson said.
Definitely a potent, powerful
Pacific storm rolled through,
Anderson said. Its certainly a step in
the right direction, but nowhere near
ending the drought or even coming
close.
Firefighters, police and public
works personnel across San Mateo
County assisted nearly nonstop
storm-related calls that made roads
impassable and hazardous throughout
parts of the day.
San Mateo County dispatchers
reported quadruple the amount of calls
as a normal day, but emergency operations fared well, said sheriffs Deputy
Rebecca Rosenblatt.
Everything went as well as could be
expected when you have conditions
like this. Obviously theres going to
be trees down and wires down and
flooding and we experienced those
throughout the county, Rosenblatt
said. However, everybody worked
really well to mitigate those issues
throughout the county. It seemed to
run pretty smoothly.
County emergency officials attributed part of the success to preparation
efforts and continuous storm updates
via Twitter, Facebook and Nixle.
Social media played a really really
important role as well because we
would hear about a report of flooding
in a particular area and then youd see
it on Facebook and on Twitter and see
pictures of what it looked like,

Case Number: 122555
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may

Petition for Probate has been filed by Judy Ann Ray in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
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

authority.

California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA

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 court. If you are a
person interested in the estate, you may
file with the court a Request for Special
Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an
inventory and appraisal of estate assets
or of any petition or account as provided
in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available
from the court clerk.

its not as intense there. I dont think weve ever had an
experience like this before.
The last time there were mass school closures was probably
after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, she noted.
The San Bruno Park Elementary School District decided to
close schools on Friday as well, as campuses are unsafe due to
flooding, said Superintendent David Hutt.
Our mission to provide schooling for kids, he said
Thursday. Weve had circumstances where weve had poor
weather before and look to make sure we have power to provide heating, lights and water. Weve had some flooding at
some of the campuses Parkside (Elementary),
Rollingwood (Elementary) and at Allen (Elementary), but not
to the same degree. My decision to close school tomorrow is
for safety reasons; were supposed to get more substantial
rain before now and 4 a.m.
Skyline College canceled all classes and activities on campus at 8 a.m. Thursday after it became clear the roads to campus were flooding, said Jennifer Owen-Blackmon, interim
director of marketing, communications and public relations
for the school. She added it was a big decision and the San
Mateo County Community College District Board of Trustees
was very sensitive to the proximity to finals, but ultimately
President Regina Standback Stroud decided to close the
school for the day.
We had preventative measures to prevent flooding,
Owen-Blackmon said. The plan was to keep the campuses
open. Safety was paramount.
Preventative measures included tree assessment, roof
repairs, preparing generators, street cleaning, along with
positioning sandbags and rain water sacks in front of floodprone areas. A few campus buildings are below grade and
water was starting to encroach, so the storm drains were
unplugged to get that under control, she said. There was brief
flickering of lights on campus and the power did go out at the
Child Development Center in Building 14, she said. The last
time the campus was closed was Sept. 2 and 3, 2009, because
of a campus shooting incident, she said. Skyline also cancelled classes for Friday but expected the campus to be open
by Saturday.
Up in South San Francisco, the unified school districts
Board of Trustees decided it was necessary to close all schools
due to safety concerns, said district spokesman Ryan Sebers.
Within his 16 years in the district, he cant recall a time when
something like this has happened. The school board also
decided to cancel classes on Friday.
In Redwood City, the school board decided to shut down its
schools because of safety concerns related to flash flooding
and difficulties getting to school. The last time there were
districtwide school closures in Redwood City was probably
back during the earthquake, said Superintendent Jan
Christensen. Schools at individual sites have shut down, but
not the entire district, she said. Flooding occurred at nearby
Hoover and Taft elementary schools, while the Clifford
Elementary School resource room also experienced flooding,
she said.
Our number one priority is always going to be to best we
SNOW

Zamboni machine but, because of the growing interest in
the activity, snow is now made for Snow Day artificially. It
comes in on a truck and families from the church come and
shovel it together over the hill.
Its a church with quite a lot of young families and theres
also a nursery school, so its a nice way to draw different
parts of our community together with other parts of the
wider community, he said. About 150 to 200 people should
turn out at the event this year, he added.
It seems to be really popular, Woodward said. It seems
to be unusual to have as part of an Advent event. Its a
really fun event and we love having people join.
For Woodward, who hails from England, its nice to great
a taste of home with the event the malt wine and snow
specifically. Its a funny concept to see snow in this part of
California, he said.
Church members like Virginia Fox, who has attended the
congregation for 18 years, said the event was spurred from
the communitys desire to share its joy and welcome the
entire community into the church.
They get a chance to get a taste of our church community
and how it intersects with the larger community, she said.
It is such a fun intergenerational event. We have lots of
kids, lots of parent-aged, grandparent-aged and people
bringing their friends; its a wonderful time for people of all
ages to come together. We dont get to play a lot in this
world.
The church has also set up a Giving Tree through the
Samaritan House to help plant trees in Haiti.
The event takes place 4 p.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13 at
3900 Alameda de las Pulgas in San Mateo. The event is funded by donations and those who wish to donate can bring
them in the day of the event or contact the church directly.
