State snowpack at 136 percent

Snow provides about 30 percent of Californias water supply during the months when it melts
By Rich Pedroncelli
and Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ECHO SUMMIT The water content

of the Sierra Nevada snowpack in
drought-stricken California was 136
percent of normal Wednesday when
officials took the winters first manual
survey an encouraging result after
nearly no snow was found at the site in
April.
The latest snow level is a good sign,
but thats it its a start, said Frank
Gehrke, chief of the California
Cooperative Snow Surveys Program
for the Department of Water Resources.
The water story for much of the American West over

most of the past decade has been dominated by punishing
drought. ... Now, were preparing to see the flip-side of natures
water cycle the arrival of steady, heavy rains and snowfall.
Jet Propulsion Laboratory climatologist Bill Patzert
After four years of drought, Gehrke

plunged a measuring pole into a thick
field of snow in the Central Sierra,
which includes Lake Tahoe. His survey
followed an electronic measurement
last week that put the water content of
the snowpack at 112 percent of normal. Even more snow has fallen since
then.
The snowpack provides about 30

percent of Californias water supply
during the months when it melts and
rushes through rivers and streams to
fill reservoirs that remain critically
low.
Last Jan. 1, the snowpack was a mea-

South San Francisco school educates community about wine for drivers in new year
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For all those who want to know more

about the wine poured in their glass,
the ideal institution just opened in
South San Francisco to quench that
thirst for knowledge.
The San Francisco Wine School
offers education programs from a central location in downtown South San
Francisco, 415 Grand Ave., to novices
and connoisseurs alike who want to
drink in a fuller understanding of wine.
And though the students can taste as

they learn, the school is not a space
for excessive imbibing.
This is not a place to come and get
your drink on, said Kristin Campbell,
chief operating officer of the San
Francisco Wine School.
The school held its grand opening
last month, after years of a nomadic
existence traveling throughout the
Bay Area hosting classes in restaurants, hotels, wineries and other guest
venues.
The school is the brainchild of mas-
ter sommelier David Glancy, who started it as a means of spreading his wine
wisdom with professionals in the
restaurant and service industry.
In its infancy, the closest space to a
headquarters the school knew was
being run from the Embassy Suites
hotel in South San Francisco, before
outgrowing the available capacity.
Now open in its new space, the
school is able to offer a variety of
courses designed to inform and educate

Woman beats DUI rap with
claim her body brews alcohol
ALBANY, N.Y. Drunken-driving
charges against an upstate New York
woman have been dismissed based on
an unusual defense: Her body is a brewery.
The woman was arrested while driving with a blood-alcohol level more
than four times the legal limit. She
then discovered she has a rare condition called auto-brewery syndrome,
in which her digestive system converts ordinary food into alcohol, her
lawyer Joseph Marusak said in interviews this week.
A town judge in the Buffalo suburb of
Hamburg dismissed the drunken-driving charges this month after Marusak
presented a doctors research showing
the woman had the previously undiagnosed condition in which high levels
of yeast in her intestines fermented
high-carbohydrate foods into alcohol.
The rare condition, also known as
gut fermentation syndrome, was first
documented in the 1970s in Japan, and
both medical and legal experts in the
U.S. say it is being raised more frequently in drunken-driving cases as it
is becomes more known.
At first glance, it seems like a getout-of-jail-free card, said Jonathan
Turley, a law professor at George
Washington University. But its not
that easy. Courts tend to be skeptical
of such claims. You have to be able to

Man arrested for burglarizing

SUNNYVALE Authorities say a
San Francisco Bay Area man has been
arrested on suspicion of stealing two
cars and burglarizing a gun store.
The 29-year-old Jerod Wold was
booked on two counts of auto theft,
one count of burglary and two outstanding drug-related warrants.
Wold is accused of breaking into the
U.S. Firearms Company in Sunnyvale
by pushing a Dumpster through a back
door Tuesday.
Police do not believe any guns or
weapons were stolen during the burglary.
Authorities say after abandoning the
first stolen vehicle, Wold drove off in

The condition was first documented
in the U.S. by Barbara Cordell of
Panola College in Texas, who published a case study in 2013 of a 61year-old man who had been experiencing episodes of debilitating drunkenness without drinking liquor.
Marusak contacted Cordell for help
with his client who insisted she hadnt
had more than three drinks in the six
hours before she was pulled over for
erratic driving Oct. 11, 2014. The
woman was charged with driving while
intoxicated when a Breathalyzer test
showed her blood-alcohol content to
be 0.33 percent.
Cordell referred Marusak to Dr. Anup
Kanodia of Columbus, Ohio, who
eventually diagnosed the woman with
auto-brewery syndrome and prescribed
a low-carbohydrate diet that brought
the situation under control. She is currently free to drive without restrictions.
During the long wait for an appointment, Marusak arranged to have two
nurses and a physicians assistant
monitor his client for a day to document she drank no alcohol, and to take
several blood samples for testing.
At the end of the day, she had a
blood-alcohol content of .36 without
drinking any alcoholic beverages,
Marusak said. He said the woman also
bought a Breathalyzer and blew into it

New laws show

states diverging
on guns, voting
By Geoff Mulvihill
TRENTON, N.J. Laws taking effect at

the start of the new year show states diverging on some hot-button issues.
Restrictions on carrying guns will ease in
Texas, for example, but will get tighter in
California. It will be easier to register to
vote in Oregon, but there will be another
step to take at the polls in North Carolina.
The opposing directions in the states
reflect a nation with increasingly polarized
politics.
In the debate over gun control, both sides
say their arguments are strengthened by a
string of mass shootings this year. That
includes the December attack at a county
health department gathering in San
Bernardino, California, when a couple who
investigators say pledged allegiance to the
leader of the Islamic State group killed 14
people.
Everytown for Gun Safety, a group backed
by billionaire former New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomberg, is seeking to be a
counterweight to the National Rifle
Associations lobbying of state lawmakers.
Both groups are expected to be active in legislatures in the coming year.
Whether to raise the minimum wage has
become another hot topic in states and
cities, with the issue getting no traction in
the Republican-led Congress.
New voting laws, meanwhile, could help
shape the outcomes in state and federal elections in the coming year. Democrats and
others who want to boost voter participation have been pushing to expand access to
the polls, while conservatives have pushed
for measures aimed at preventing election
fraud. Each side says the other is using legislation to help their favored party in elections.
A look at some of the more notable laws
taking effect in January:
GUNS
Texas, the second-most populous state, is
joining 44 other states in allowing at least
some firearm owners to carry handguns
openly in public places. Under the Texas
law, guns can be carried by those with
licenses and only in holsters.
Meanwhile, California, the most populous state, has multiple new laws on gun
control. One tightens a ban on firearms in
and around schools. Under the new law, the
prohibition will apply even to most people
who are allowed to carry concealed weapons
generally. Another will allow people to
request that a judge order weapons be taken
away from relatives who are believed to

pose a threat.
VOTING
California and Oregon will become the
first states that automatically register eligible voters when they obtain or renew their
drivers licenses. Critics of the measures
mostly Republicans say that could lead to
voter fraud and is part of a plan to register
more voters who are likely to be Democrats.
They say voters should register voluntarily.
In both states, people will be able to opt out
of being registered.
Similar measures have been proposed in
other states but never adopted. This year,
Republican Gov. Chris Christie vetoed the
concept in New Jersey.
In North Carolina, a voter identification
law passed in 2013 that requires people to
show a photo ID is taking effect.
An amendment adopted this year allows
voters who have trouble obtaining the
required ID to vote anyway. That provision
keeps North Carolina from joining eight
states in which a photo ID is strictly
required. There are still legal challenges
over the law, and opponents want a judge to
delay implementation.
In most states, voters are asked to show
some kind of identification.
REUTERS
Miyoshia Bailey struggles to speak while holding a photo of her slain son Cortez during a
press conference about gun violence. Congressional leaders joined advocates from Newtown
Action Alliance and the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, as well as over 60 family members of
victims and survivors of gun violence to demand congressional action to expand background
checks and curb gun violence in the United States.
PUBLIC HEALTH
Hawaii is becoming the first state to raise
its minimum age, from 18 to 21, to buy or
use cigarettes or e-cigarettes. Its a move
some local governments have made before,
but never a state.
California is joining West Virginia and
Mississippi as the only states without a personal-belief exemption for parents who do
not want to vaccinate their children.
Children whose parents refuse to have them
immunized against several diseases will not
be allowed to enroll in public or private
school and would instead have to be homeschooled. There is an exemption for children with serious health problems.
EMPLOYMENT ISSUES
In California, a new law lets female
employees allege pay discrimination based
on the wages a company pays other employees who do substantially similar work.
Under the law, it will be up to employers to
prove a mans higher pay is based on factors
other than gender.
Oregon will become the fifth state with a
paid sick leave mandate for many employers.

LAWS
Continued from page 5
Some cities in traffic-congested urban
areas are trying to ease the burdens of commuting. Employers with at least 20 workers in Washington, D.C., and New York
City will be required to offer commuter
benefits such as tax-free mass transit subsidies to their workers.
San Francisco already has a similar ordinance.
In Missouri, a new law will link the duration of jobless benefits to the states
unemployment rate. When fewer people
are out of work, those claiming the benefits will be cut off sooner. The maximum
length of the benefits will be reduced from
the current 20 weeks already among the
shorter periods in the nation to 13.
Only North Carolina, which has a similar
sliding scale, has a shorter period: 12
weeks.
MINIMUM WAGE
The minimum wage will rise in many
cities and states with the new year. Some
of the wage increases are coming under
laws passed years ago that phased in the
increases over a period of years. Some are
automatic increases tied to the cost of living.
Fast-food workers in New York state will
receive their first pay bump under a new
law that eventually will push their minimum wage to $15. The full amount will
kick in at the end of 2018 in New York
City and 2021 in the rest of the state.

Female workers in California get new tools to challenge genderbased wage gaps under a law supporters say offers the
strongest equal-pay protection in the nation. The legislation
places the burden of proof on an employer to show a mans
higher pay for similar work is based on factors other than
gender. It also prevents employers from retaliating against
workers discussing or asking how much their male colleagues
are paid, though employers arent required to provide that
information.
California becomes the first state to allow family members to

ask a judge to remove firearms from a relative who appears to
pose a threat. Democrats proposed the legislation in response
to a deadly 2014 rampage near the University of California,
Santa Barbara.Victims relatives said the parents of 22-year-old
Elliot Rodger were blocked from seeking help for their troubled
son before the rampage.
A separate new law requires that certain airsoft BB guns and
pellet guns come with bright markings to distinguish them
from real firearms.
Another law extends a ban on concealed weapons at K-12
schools and community colleges, removing an exemption that
previously allowed people with concealed weapons permits
to carry firearms on school grounds.
MINIMUM WAGE
Californias minimum wage rises to $10 an hour from $9 an
hour, well above the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour. In
addition, amid a national debate about income inequality,
several legislative and ballot initiative proposals will push for a
$15 an hour minimum wage as early as 2020.Two union factions
have submitted competing minimum wage ballot initiatives
for 2016.
Cheerleaders for professional sports teams will be entitled to
minimum wage under a new law that requires teams to classify
them as workers instead of contractors. The law also provides
them with sick leave, overtime pay and other labor protections
available to team staff. The law is believed to be the first of its
kind in the nation.

States with automatic annual increases
effective Jan. 1 are Arizona, Colorado,
Montana, New Jersey, Ohio and South

Some cities, including New Orleans,

Minimum-wage fast-food workers in

ABORTION
Crisis pregnancy centers that discourage women from getting
abortions will be required to provide information about the
procedure, affordable contraception and prenatal care. Clinics
operated by abortion opponents sued to block imposition of
the new law, arguing that it is forced speech, but a federal judge
rejected the claim.

Law enforcement officers will be required to obtain a search

Income tax rates will drop slightly in
Oklahoma, where state revenues have fallen sharply, and Massachusetts.
In North Carolina, the tax on gasoline
will drop by a penny a gallon to 35 cents.
The sales tax on boats will drop in New
Jersey as of Feb. 1.
Taxes on cigarettes and other tobacco
products will rise in Minnesota, as will
hotel taxes in Hawaii.
ABORTION
Physicians in North Carolina will be
required to provide the state with ultrasound images of fetuses and other data
related to abortions performed after the
16th week of pregnancy.
For pregnancies terminated after the
20th week, doctors must explain to the
state Department of Health and Human
Services how continuing the pregnancy
warrant before they can obtain emails, text messages, online

history and other digital data from suspects.
RIDE-SHARING
Ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft will have to
participate in a California Department of Motor Vehicles
program and regularly monitor the records of drivers. The
system flags actions of license holders such as DUI arrests.
STUDENT PRIVACY
California enacts what supporters say is the nations toughest
law for protecting student privacy rights by barring companies
from using their personal information for profit. Companies
are responsible for protecting any personal information that
they gather from elementary and high school students and
the data can only be used for school purposes.
BALLOT INITIATIVES
The fee to file a California ballot initiative proposal increases
from $200 to $2,000, an effort to limit frivolous proposals and

SACRAMENTO The U.S. Department of Homeland

Security granted a last-minute extension giving California
more time to comply with the federal Real ID Act that sets
stricter standards on identification.
The state Department of Motor Vehicles said the federal
agency will give California until Oct. 10 to comply with
the rules. California was among several states where an
exemption to the law was set to expire on Jan. 10.
The department recognizes your efforts in enhancing the
security of your jurisdictions drivers licenses and identification cards, Homeland Security officials said in a letter
dated Tuesday.
The 2005 Real ID act imposes tougher requirements for
proof of legal U.S. residency in order for state drivers
licenses to be valid for federal purposes. The law was passed
in response to national security concerns after the Sept. 11,
2001, terrorist attacks.
At least 19 other states recently received an extension of
their exemptions, but the federal agency rejected requests
for extensions from Missouri and Illinois, meaning drivers
licenses from those states cannot be accepted as ID at military bases and most other federal facilities.
It also could eventually mean those licenses wont be
accepted as identification for commercial airplane flights.
Californias extension gives the state time to implement
a new law set to take effect on July 1. It will require new
applicants for drivers licenses to provide proof of
California residency, though the DMV is still drawing up
guidelines specifying what documents will be acceptable,
spokesman Artemio Armenta said.
The agency said in a statement Wednesday that it will continue to work on complying with the federal law.

could escalate even after a land-

Turks and Belgians report

foiling holiday attack plans
Suzan Fraser and John-Thor Dahlburg
ANKARA, Turkey With less than 48

hours left in 2015, Turkey on Wednesday
became the latest country to announce the
foiling of a holiday attack plot, detaining
two suspected Islamic State militants
believed to be planning suicide bombings
during New Year celebrations in the capital
citys heart.
They were caught before they had the
opportunity to take action, said the office
of the chief prosecutor of Ankara, Turkeys
capital.
The men were detained in a raid on a house
in the low-income Mamak neighborhood,
where police seized a suicide vest armed
with a bomb, a second explosive device that
was fortified with ball bearings and metal
sticks and concealed inside a back pack, as
well as bomb-making equipment, according
to the prosecutors office.
The two men, Turkish nationals identified
only by their initials M.C. and A.Y., were
being questioned by anti-terrorism police.
The prosecutors office said the men had
staked out possible locations in Ankara
where they could carry out the attacks.
The state-run Anadolu Agency, quoting
unnamed police and judiciary officials, said
the would-be bombers had intended to blow
themselves up during holiday festivities at
bars and a shopping mall in the central
Kizilay district.
In Belgium, an investigation was continuing into what authorities characterized as a
serious threat of holiday season attacks
directed at police, soldiers and popular
attractions in the capital city of Brussels.
The arrest of two suspects was announced
Tuesday by the Federal Prosecutors Office,

KaloBios, formerly led by

Shkreli, files for bankruptcy
NEW YORK KaloBios, the troubled drugmaker taken over by Martin

Shkreli last month, is seeking bankruptcy protection less than two weeks
after his arrest for securities fraud.
It is the second pharmaceutical company with ties to the former hedge fund
manager now in turmoil following his
indictment on charges unrelated to his
involvement with them, though the
drugmakers are not lacking for problems of their own
The other, Turing Pharmaceuticals
Inc., is cutting jobs and seeking a new
CEO after Shkreli resigned the position because of his arrest.
Under Shkreli, Turing acquired the
rights to a treatment for a rare parasitic
infection that mainly strikes pregnant
women and raised the price from
$13.50 to $750 per pill. That shoved
the New York company right into the

crosshairs of lawmakers under pressure
to do something about soaring drug
prices.
An investigation by the Senate
Special Committee on Aging is now
focused on Turing and three other pharmaceutical companies.
With Shkreli in charge, KaloBios
also planned to rack up big profits on
a decades-old drug that treats a parasitic infection. The company suggested it might charge tens of thousands of
dollars for a round of treatment,
although the real prize might have
been a government voucher potentially worth hundreds of millions.
When it was revealed in November
that Shkreli had acquired a controlling
stake in publicly traded KaloBios, a
failing drug developer doing research
on cancer treatments, its shares soared
20 percent in a day.
Two weeks after he became its CEO,

KaloBios agreed to buy the U.S. rights
to benznidazole, which is used to treat
a parasitic infection called Chagas disease. Benznidazole was never
approved in the U.S. because Chagas
disease isnt common there, although
the number of cases is growing.
The
South
San
Francisco,
California, company said it planned to
get quick marketing approval for benznidazole without running costly clinical studies and said it wanted a price
tag similar to new hepatitis C drugs
that cost around $1,000 per pill, or
more than $80,000 for a course of
treatment.
Doctors Without Borders said a
course of treatment with benznidazole
typically costs about $100 in Latin
America. Patients in the U.S. get the
drug through the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.

Business briefs
Pep Boys agrees to be
bought by Icahn for $1 billion
NEW YORK Carl Icahn is acquiring Pep Boys for $1
billion, ending his weekslong bidding war with the
Japanese tire company Bridgestone.
The deal announced Wednesday is expected to close in the
first quarter of next year.
Icahn Enterprises offered $18.50 in cash for each share of
Pep Boys, $1.50 more per share than the most-recent offer
from Bridgestone. With the contest becoming too rich,
Bridgestone bowed out Tuesday.
Because Pep Boys had already agreed to a deal with
Bridgestone Corp., Icahn Enterprises will pay it a $39.5
million breakup fee.
Philadelphia-based Pep Boys Manny, Moe & Jack
operates more than 800 locations around the country that
sell auto parts, fixes vehicles and offer other services. The
companys tire business has been under pressure and it has
looked for new ways to generate cash.
Icahn said in a statement that Pep Boys has enormous
growth potential. The activist investor said he has been
looking for a company to pair with Auto Plus, an auto parts
distributer that Icahn Enterprises bought earlier this year.
With the end of the bidding war, shares of Pep Boys fell
55 cents, or 3 percent, to close Wednesday at $18.39. Icahn
Enterprises LP rose 60 cents, or 1 percent, to $62.12.

of basketball. The Knights defense gave
University (10-4) fits, as the Trojans committed 29 turnovers in the game, including
20 in the second half.

South City boys soccer team earns big non-league win over Serra
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The South City boys soccer team

has been steadily moving up in the
Peninsula Athletic League hierarchy
over the last several years.
The Warriors captured the PAL
Ocean Division title three years ago
and have moved up and played in the
Bay Division the last two seasons,
earning Central Coast Section
berths all three years.
Wednesday, however, the Warriors
pulled off their biggest win during
this run of success. Alejandro Perez
scored his second goal of the game
with 10 minutes left to lift South
City to an entertaining 3-2 nonleague win over visiting Serra.
Its a really good win, said
South City assistant coach Eduardo
Rubalcava. This was a big challenge. Serra is a big name around
here. They have a good squad.
When it became apparent early on
that neither team would control the
midfield with any sort of consistency, both teams ditched the possession game and went straight on the
attack. This was a game in which if
either team could string together
two or three passes in a row, it
resulted in a dangerous chance.
Our style is touching the ball and
playing in space and moving
around, Rubalcava said. It was a
little choppy (early), but when we
find our groove, we can score.
Serra coach Jeff Panos would also
have liked to employ a possession
style of play, but South Citys pressure defense, coupled with the
Padres youth, led Serra to get pulled
into a back-and-forth game.
Both teams had a lot of chances,
Panos said. Were a young team and

Warriors 3-2 non-league win Wednesday afternoon in South San Francisco.
At halftime, Menlo held a slight 28-25

lead. A byproduct of the Knights hyperaggression is it carries over into their
shooting. And in the first half, they were
erratic to the hoop despite consistently taking the ball away from University.
But the Menlo offense found its footing in
the second half with junior point guard Sam
Erisman running the show. While senior
forward Hannah Paye produced a game-high

sports. Someone makes a big
play, the camera zooms in on
them and they inevitably say, Hi Mom!
Hi Mom? What about Dad? Wasnt it
Dad who started the journey? Wasnt he
the one who worked with and coached up
his son/daughter, hoping one day he/she
would make it to television?
Ive had a few days to really think
about this. A few hours after spending the
Christmas holiday together, my mom,
Betty Jean (Weigelt) Mollat, passed away
early Saturday morning at the age of 77.
Much like after my dad passed away in
2013, I started thinking about how my
mom shaped my passion for sports.
Growing up, she
was not one you
would call an athlete, but she appreciated the lessons
sports taught.
While she was not
one to sit down and
watch a game with
me, she literally
enabled me to participate in sports
growing up. Since
dad was usually
working until early
evening during the week and oftentimes
working Saturdays, she was a team mom,
game operations manager, chauffeur,
logistics coordinator and, above all else,
patient. She was not one to drop me off
and come back when the game was over.
She would grab her folding chair, and usually a book, and sit on the sideline and
wait for the game to nish. Win, lose,
draw, didnt matter to her. Of course she
would offer guidance on how to behave
like a decent human being, but she was
not going to break down what happened
on that corner kick.
On more than one occasion, it was my
moms hard work that allowed a game to
even be played. Being an elementary
school teacher afforded her the time to
get to the eld a couple hours before
game time and, on several occasions, she

Short-handed Warriors cant keep up with Mavs

By Schuyler Dixon
DALLAS The Golden State Warriors

flopped without Stephen Curry, getting
blown out for just their second loss of the
season behind 23 points for Dallas J.J.
Barea in a 114-91 victory for the Mavericks
on Wednesday night.
Curry missed his first game of the season
with a lower left leg bruise that might keep
the NBAs leading scorer and reigning MVP
out again Thursday at Houston. But the
Warriors (29-2) still have the best 31-game
start in NBA history, a game better than four

teams.
Klay Thompson, the other half of the
Splash Brothers, couldnt make up for
Currys absence, going 4 of 15 for 10
points. Ian Clark led the Warriors with 21.
Zaza Pachulia had 14 points and 15
rebounds and Dirk Nowitzki added 18 and
eight boards for the Mavericks, who won
their fourth straight game without injured
point guard Deron Williams.
The Warriors looked out of sorts almost
from the beginning with their sharpshooting star watching from the bench in jeans
and a black sport coat.

Marreese Speights threw a pass into the
first row in the first half, drawing a rebuke
from Clark, the intended target.
And Brandon Rush didnt play much
defense against Nowitzki. First, he let the
7-foot, 37-year-old German go by him for a
rare two-handed dunk, and soon after left
him alone at the 3-point line for a 75-49
Dallas lead midway through the third quarter.
The 23-point margin was Golden States
worst defeat since a 31-point loss to
Houston in 2013, according to STATS. The
worst loss during the title run last season

was 15.
The Mavericks went up by 30 at 83-53 on
a 3-pointer by Wesley Matthews, who had
13 points. The Warriors, who fell behind for
good with 8 minutes left in the first quarter,
didnt get closer than 17 after that.
Thompson didnt play in the fourth quarter with a mid-afternoon start against the
Rockets looming, and interim coach Luke
Walton went with reserves for the last 5
minutes in Golden States third straight loss
without Curry. The first two were last season.

New O-lineman
Brown finding
way with 49ers
By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Trent Brown accepted

the compliment by way of his coaches: The
Atlanta Falcons didnt even recognize him
on tape last month.
Thats how far the rookie offensive lineman has come to improve himself physically in his first season with
San Francisco.
A nice confidence
boost, indeed.
I remember having the
coaches tell me when we
played the Falcons, I was
out
doing
pregame
warmups and some of the
Trent Brown coaches from the Falcons
didnt even recognize me,
Brown recalled recently. I guess my body has
changed that much. I was just smiling.
Offensive line coach Chris Foerster
passed that along.
Very happy that they would say that
about him, Foerster said. Thats why I
went and told him. I wanted him to know
that they said, Well, whos that guy? I said,
Its Trent Brown, and they said, No way.
The way he was moving and the things he
was doing out there, they all saw him in college. Its been great for him.
Brown is a far different player and athlete
than he was earlier this year.
Drafted in the seventh round out of
Florida, the 6-foot-8 Brown has made drastic strides physically since Day 1 in Santa
Clara dropping from 355 pounds to 346,
building muscle.
The biggest thing was maintaining it,
he said. Im a lot stronger.

Woodsons impact will be felt after retirement

By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA Charles Woodson was unable

to lead the Raiders back to the playoffs in his
second stint in Oakland.
But if the Raiders manage to get back to the
postseason after Woodson retires, he will
deserve credit for the work he has done the
past three years in teaching young players and
creating a winning culture.
While Woodson prepares for the final game
of his 18-year career on Sunday in Kansas
City, the Raiders believe his influence will
last much longer.
He will have a legacy here that lasts
because of the things that he has shown people, coach Jack Del Rio said. The lead that
he has provided in terms of the way he prepares, the way he attacks his preparation, the
way he trains his body, the way he takes care
of himself, the respect he has for the game. I
think those things stay with the organization
for a number of years.
While Woodson repeatedly said he didnt
come back to Oakland solely to mentor
younger players, it was a natural byproduct of
the way he did his job every day.
Teammates who grew up watching Woodson
win the Heisman Trophy at Michigan and
become one of the greatest defensive backs in
NFL history, relished the chance to see
Woodson work up close.
As a player when you get a chance to play
with a guy that caliber you have to take things
from him and apply it to yourself in your own
way, cornerback David Amerson said. The
great things he does are little things I see to
help him get to that position. I definitely
want to apply them to myself.
As much as the 10 interceptions and countless other plays Woodson made the past three
years, it was his work ethic that resonated
most.
Never known for spending lots of time with
his playbook or in the weight room as a
young star, Woodson has been just that late in
KIRBY LEE/USA TODAY SPORTS
Charles Woodson will play the final game of his 18-year NFL career Sunday in Kansas City.
his career a major reason why he has been
so successful even at age 39.
Woodson took part in the entire offseason
program and never missed a game despite dislocating his right shoulder in the season
opener. Woodson occasionally had to leave
games briefly to pop the shoulder back in
place and even used it to deliver hits in lopsided games in a lesson on competitiveness.
You cant even put a word on the different
things that hes done for these players, and
just the competitive nature, defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. said. He let the players
know early on that, If you have any chance of
taking my position, good luck, because its
not going to happen. He let them know early
on that he was competing from the very
beginning. It doesnt matter what is his age,
its just a number. He was a guy thats letting
them know its about how hard you work and
how hard you compete.
Despite a 14-33 record since his return to
Oakland, Woodson sees reasons for optimism
in the Raiders near future thanks to two

straight strong drafts by general manager
Reggie McKenzie.
That has helped put foundation pieces in
place with quarterback Derek Carr, receiver
Amari Cooper, pass rusher Khalil Mack as
well as several other young contributors. The
Raiders could be in position next year to end a
playoff drought that dates back to the 2002
season.
Woodson is one of three players still active
in the NFL who have played in a playoff game
for the Raiders, joining Oakland kicker
Sebastian Janikowski and Houston punter
Shane Lechler.
I do feel like the organization is in a great
place for going forward, Woodson said. I
think theyre under great leadership under Jack
Del Rio. I think Reggie has done a great job
for what he inherited when he came. I guess
you always want to leave a place better than
when you came in. I feel like this organization
and this team is definitely in a better place.

Iowa gears up to stop McCaffrey

LOS ANGELES Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey did

nearly everything its possible to
do with a football in his hands this
season, dropping jaws and breaking long-standing NCAA records
along the way.
With a big performance in the
Rose Bowl on Friday, he might
even become famous in Iowa City.
I hadnt heard too much about
him, Iowa linebacker Cole Fisher
said of McCaffrey. I didnt follow
him (before) the Heisman race too
much. That was probably the rst
time I heard about him.
Fisher can be excused for missing those late-starting Pac-12
games. After all, many Heisman
Trophy voters undoubtedly did the
same during McCaffreys incredible sophomore season, which
concludes with his debut in the
Granddaddy of Them All.
The Hawkeyes (12-1) are up to

speed on the challenge posed by
Stanfords do-it-all back with
speed, instinct, a throwing arm
and an uncanny knack for turning
almost anything into a positive
gain. Even after a season spent
largely shutting down the best run
games in the Big Ten, the
Hawkeyes defense hasnt faced
anybody
as
daunting
as
McCaffrey.
Youve got to make sure you
know where hes at, (because) hes
at the quarterback, hes at wide
receiver, they put him in the backeld, Iowa defensive coordinator
Phil Parker said. Its going to be
hard. Its going to be a good competition for us.
Although Alabamas Derrick
Henry
won
the Heisman,
McCaffrey won The Associated
Press player of the year award last
week and his accomplishments
are stunning by any measure.
McCaffrey ran for 1,847 yards,

led Stanford (11-2) with 41 receptions for 540 yards and returned
kicks while setting the NCAA
record for all-purpose yards. Most
recently, he turned in a 461-yard
performance against Southern
California in the Pac-12 title
game.
Stanford offensive coordinator
Mike Bloomgren knows which
award voters make sense to him.
We think (the Heisman voters)
got it wrong, Bloomgren said.
We think the AP got it right. I
texted him as soon as the AP
(award) came out, and I was like,
Well, at least weve got one of
those things right. He red back
with: I guess AP stands for all
purpose, because at least they
like my all-purpose yards.
After a few weeks of watching
McCaffrey on lm, Parker seems
inclined to agree with the AP voters.
Sports brief
Manny Pacquiao to return
April 9 against Bradley
LAS VEGAS Manny Pacquiao
will return to the ring April 9 for
the first time since losing to
Floyd Mayweather Jr., and it will
be against a
familiar foe.
Promoter Bob
Arum
said
Wednesday that
Pacquiao will
fight Timothy
Bradley at the
MGM Grand in
Las Vegas for a
Manny
third time in
Pacquiao
his first bout
since losing a
decision to Mayweather in the
richest fight ever. Pacquiao reinjured a shoulder in that fight and
was
ineffective
against
Mayweather in dropping the unanimous decision.
Technically, the fight with
13
Bradley will be the rubber match

of their three-fight series.
However, most in boxing believe
Pacquiao won the first fight in
2012 easily the judges gave it
to Bradley and was largely dominant in the rematch, which he
won by decision.
The fight will not be marketed
as Pacquiaos last fight, though he
had talked previously about just
one more fight before running for
Senate in his native Philippines.
Pacquiao is currently a congressman in the Philippines.
Bradley (33-1-1, 13 knockouts)
is coming off an impressive win
over Brandon Rios last month in
Las Vegas. Bradley signed up with
noted trainer Teddy Atlas before
that bout, which was seen as one
of his best performances.
Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 knockouts) had surgery to repair a torn
rotator cuff in his right shoulder
after the Mayweather fight. It wasnt disclosed before the fight, but
Pacquiao hurt the shoulder in
training and then reinjured it during the fight.

Dodgers sign SOCCER

Scott Kazmir
By Greg Beacham
LOS ANGELES Left-hander Scott

Kazmir agreed to a three-year, $48 million
contract on Wednesday
with the Los Angeles
Dodgers.
The three-time All-Star
was among the top names
left on the free-agent market after revitalizing his
career over the past three
seasons with Cleveland,
Scott Kazmir Oakland and Houston. He
ranked fourth in the AL
with a 3.10 ERA last year while going 7-11
for the Athletics and the Astros.
Kazmir hailed the deal in a post on his
Twitter account: What a great day to officially be a Dodger!
He also wished a happy 80th birthday to
Dodgers Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax, whom
he called my lefty idol.
Kazmirs deal includes an opt-out clause
after the first year, but his arrival is a highlight in an unusual offseason for the
Dodgers, whose fans are still sore about losing superstar right-hander Zack Greinke in
free agency to Arizona.
Los Angeles also declined to close a deal
with right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma, who resigned with Seattle, and backed out of a trade
for Cincinnati closer Aroldis Chapman after
learning the Cuban had been investigated
over an accusation of domestic violence.
Kazmir is headed to the NL for the first
time in his six-team, 11-year major league
career, but the Dodgers front office is quite
familiar with the resilient 31-year-old
starter.
I think we panicked, which affected our possession.

The teams combined for 25 shots, with several good scoring chances going by the wayside.
It appeared Serra got on the board first in the
13th minute when Joe Montero headed home a
cross from Matt Herrera, but the ball was ruled
to have rolled over the end line and out of
bounds before Herrera got the pass off, negating the goal.
Five minutes later, it was South City (5-0
overall) celebrating the first goal of the game.
Hugo Ramirez made a long run down the right
sideline, but his cross was partially cleared by
the Serra defense. Ramirez got the ball back on
the wing and whipped a pass in front of the
goal. South Citys Francisco Rodriguez was
taken out of the play by a Padre defender at the
near post, but Perez snuck inside his defender
and dove headlong at the ball, burying it in the
back of the net for a 1-0 South City lead.
NINERS
Brown earned his first career start in
Sundays 32-17 loss at Detroit, playing
right tackle in his fourth NFL game.
Big Trent stepping up, is how quarterback Blaine Gabbert put it Wednesday.
Brown will likely be out there again when

Sundays season finale at Levis Stadium
looking to go into the offseason on a positive note while missing the playoffs for the
second straight year.
Brown wants to be part of a young core of
players building something special with
this franchise.
Hes just soaking it all in, left guard
THE DAILY JOURNAL
That first goal was a bad defensive mark on

our part, Panos said.
It didnt take long for Serra to find the equalizer. The Padres earned a free kick from 34 yards
out, near the right sideline. Josh Gonzalez lifted a cross into the South City goal box where
Julio Rodriguez out-jumped everyone to nod
home the goal to tie the score at 1 in the 22nd
minute.
Both teams had several scoring chances over
the final 20 minutes of the first half, but neither
could crack the others defense.
It didnt take long after the whistle to start the
second half that South City retook the lead,
scoring in the first minute after halftime. The
play was triggered by South City defender
Rafael Vieyra, who stole the ball in his defensive end and went on the attack. He passed the
ball just past midfield to Rodriguez, who laid
the ball off to Perez on the wing. With a defender on his shoulder, Perez broke in on goal, but
had his shot turned away by the Serra goalkeeper. The rebound went right to Rodriguez, however, who hammered the ball into the back of
the net to put the Warriors up 2-1.
Much like the first half, both teams went at
each other with several more scoring chances in
the second half. Serra scored the equalizer again
16 minutes into the second half. Along through

ball from the Padres defensive end found a
streaking Colin ODonoghue, who ran past his
defender and calmly finished by slotting a shot
past the charging goalkeeper and just inside the
far left post to tie the game at 2.
South City, however, kept attacking and got
the game winner in the 70th minute. Rodriguez
and Perez hooked up once again, with
Rodriguez again finding Perez on the wing.
This time, Perez held off a challenge from a
Serra defender before calmly slipping a shot
under the charging goalkeeper and into the net
for a 3-2 South City advantage.
Serra gave it a go over the final few minutes,
looking to tie the game for a third time, but it
was not to be.
[South City] won the 1-v-1 matchups on the
wing, which led to goals two and three, Panos
said.
For South City, the win solidifies what the
Warriors are feeling: that this could be the year
they win the PAL Bay Division title and make
some real noise in the CCS playoffs.
This proves a point to the Bay league that
South City has grown a lot the last couple of
years, Rubalcava said. Were building as a
team.
Andrew Tiller said. Hes just learning how

to be a pro. Hes a good dude.
Changing his health and fitness patterns
over an extended stretch will be important
for the 49ers to see from Brown going forward into the offseason program.
He has appreciated O-line veterans such
as Alex Boone and Joe Staley regularly
checking up on him.
Theyve all been pretty helpful, Brown
said. Sometimes they see me, I may not
look down but they feel like I am because
theyve all gone through their rookie season already, so theres real motivation to
come talk to me. Especially Staley, he talks
to me all the time. Im pretty happy. Of
course there are some things that have been
pointed out to me that I can get better this
offseason and I will get better on those.
For Brown, the adjustment to the fast pace
of the NFL is beginning to become more
manageable.
Hes done everything weve asked him to

do. Hes come in, hes worked real hard,
Foerster said.
The 49ers would like Brown to continue
building strength before his second year,
and the offensive lineman still strives to
get in better shape and improve his footwork.
Changing his eating habits was among
the most difficult challenges as a rookie.
It was definitely having to dedicate
myself to a regular daily diet, no cheat days
really, he said. Sometimes I reward myself
with a cheat day every now and then. Not
very often, like twice a month.
No tes : RB Shaun Draughn was placed on
injured reserve with a knee injury after he
sat out Sunday at Detroit. TE JeRon Hamm
was claimed off waivers from Washington.

With the Knights holding their slightest

tied it 16-16 to open the second on a long
jump shot by Ashley Chandler. A minute and
a half later, Chandler hit another bucket to
give the Trojans a 19-18 lead. But that lead
was short-lived, as Stine got a little lucky
with a three-point attempt that looked long,
but banked off the glass and in to give the
Knights the lead for good at 21-19.
After the shot, Stine grimaced as she realized she had just gotten away with one. But
after the game, she admitted offense isnt the
reason she is on the floor.
Im not the best offensively, so I try to
concentrate of defense, Stine said. Defense
creates offense.
Stine earned all-tournament honors, while
Hannah Paye was named the Bracket I MVP.
For Hannah Paye a fourth-year senior
this year will mark her final season of organized basketball, as she has decided not to
play in college, she said. The senior has seen
a great run, leading the Knights to three consecutive Central Coast Section playoffs,
including back-to-back Division IV titles.
Not much has changed in the way of roster
makeup during Hannah Payes career. The
biggest difference is the team has grown into
a 2016 roster containing six seniors. Over
the past three years, the Knights have seen a
total of six seniors in the varsity mix,
including just one in each the 2014 and 15
seasons.
My first three years we had a very, very
young team, Hannah Paye said. This is the
15
first time we have six seniors and two juniors

and we have the age and maturity of our team.
So, Menlos fast start comes as no surprise. And this years CCS goal is simple.
With the program having won back-to-back
CCS championships three times in history,
this years Knights team is looking for its
first ever three-peat.
I think this is our best team so far, Stine
said. This is the first time Menlo has come
together as a family.

Browns coach
Mike
Pettine
said
Manziel
reported to the
teams facility
Johnny Manziel on Wednesday
complaining of concussion-like
symptoms. Manziel rushed 11 times
for 108 yards, but wasnt sacked in
Sundays 17-13 loss to Kansas City.
However, Pettine said Manziel
took a bunch of hits against the
Chiefs and remembered one on
Clevelands sideline being especially violent. Pettine said its not yet
known if Manziel has a concussion

but its looking that way.
If Manziel has a concussion, he
will have to enter the NFLs protocol
on head injuries and will sit out the
final game. If Manziel cant play,
backup Austin Davis will make his
second start this season.
The Browns may have to sign a
third quarterback and will have wide
receiver Terrelle Pryor, a former quarterback with Oakland, take snaps in
practice.
Manziel has made six starts in his
second season with Cleveland. The
23-year-old has shown significant
progress on the field, giving the
Browns hope the 2012 Heisman
Trophy winner can develop into
their franchise quarterback.
Also, Pettine said he did not have
a chance to speak with Manziel
about a video that surfaced of him
partying in his home last week.
Manziel was demoted from starter to
third string earlier this season when
he defied coaches by becoming a distraction during the teams bye week.
Pettine said Manziel will not be
disciplined for the latest video.

Then I played my game.

us to nish up our games before
rounding us up and hauling us back
home.
In fact, the rst two professional
basketball games I ever went to, my
mom took us. The Harlem
Globetrotters at the Oakland
Coliseum Arena in the late 1970s.
Like everyone else, she enjoyed the
antics more than the game.
It was my mom who signed me up
when I wanted to give Little League a
shot. She used the address of a friend
who lived in the Centerville
American district, which was not my
home district. Not because it was
better than any other, but because
that was the league to which she was
referred.
That team, the Tigers, nished in
second place with only two losses.
The following season, she signed
me up in my home district Niles
Centerville. That Cardinals team
won the league championship and
didnt lose until the seminals of the
Tournament of Champions, citywide tournament.
I called it quits after two years.
Why not go out on top?
Once again, it was my mom who

would shuttle me to and from practices and games. She would patiently
sit in the stands and wait for the
game to nish. Again, no critiques
about the game. To her, when the
game was over, it was time to move
on.
Once I got old enough to drive,
my mom stopped being heavily
involved. She never saw me play
soccer in high school. She would
ask if we won or lost and how the
game went, but that was the extent
of it.
I dont think my mom really cared
if my brother and I played sports. We
could have chosen anything as a
hobby and she would have supported
us to the best of her abilities. But
being that my interests were in
sports, Mom couldnt have had a
bigger role in shaping who I am and
what I do.

Despite new varieties, hunt for perfect tomato goes on

By Dean Fosdick
Page through any of the freshly arrived

seed catalogs and youll note the words
new and improved splashed across
many of the tomato varieties available to
home gardeners for 2016.
New flavors, lively colors, different sizes,
higher yields and better disease resistance
and pest tolerance are among the noteworthy traits.
Despite all the new varieties, however,
breeders believe theres still more room for
development. The search for the perfect
tomato continues.
Iceberg lettuce is iceberg lettuce, but
there are so many different kinds of tomatoes that we strive for perfection in a number of directions, said George Ball, chairman and chief executive officer of W. Atlee
Burpee
&
Co. ,
in
Warminster,
Pennsylvania. There are cherries, small
round salad tomatoes, slicers and paste,
among others.
We define the perfect tomato for what it
delivers in taste, Ball said. Everything
else is delivery, with uniformity being a
close second. Were looking for consistency in size and shape. We dont want a lot of
different-looking tomatoes on the same
plant. Were also trying to bring out a
vibrancy in colors.
Tomatoes originated in the coastal highlands of South America and are second only
to potatoes as the most consumed fruit in
the U. S. , the Agricultural Marketing
Resource Center says.
Over 700 different tomato varieties have
been brought to market, and each year sees
more new hybrids. But many consumers prefer the rich flavors and proven history of
heirlooms tomato types that have been
cultivated for at least 50 years. Were talking plants with a pedigree, like
Brandywines,
German
Johnson,
Persimmon, Beefsteak and Radiator
Charlies Mortgage Lifter, the latter a large,
meaty tomato introduced by a West Virginia
radiator repairman to help him stay financially afloat during the Great Depression.
We do carry many heirlooms, and while
the flavor is quite good, productivity and
disease resistance usually is not quite as
good, said Janie Lamson, owner of Cross
Country Nurseries in Stockton, New Jersey,
who sells more than 180 tomato varieties.
The solution to some of those problems is
a tomato series called heirloom marriages, says Sue Amatangelo, brand manager for Park Seed Co., a mail-order plant
and seed operation in Hodges, South
Carolina. Thats where two classic varieties
are crossed to create a new tomato with the
advantages of both.
Varieties such as Genuwine a cross of
the heirlooms Brandywine and Costoluto
Genovese offer the deep, tangy tomato
flavor and aroma lacking in so many modern
varieties, combined with improved plant Over 700 different tomato varieties have been brought to market, and each year sees more
vigor, crop size and appearance, new hybrids. But many consumers prefer the rich flavors and proven history of heirlooms

introduction.
What else is on the way for tomato development?
Expect to see more blends from grafting,
or attaching desirable fruiting varieties
onto vigorous, disease-resistant rootstalks.
Also look for more dwarf plants as gardening on patios and decks grows still more
popular. Anticipate finding the right blends
of acids with sugars to push tomato flavors
forward.
And then there are weather adaptations.
Were going toward regionalization big
time, Ball said. Now, for instance, in the
Northwest, you can grow a great cherry
tomato outside but you have to go to a
greenhouse for the big steak varieties. We
want to improve upon that.

to a felony charge.
In California, drunk drivers caused 867
deaths and over 23,000 injuries in 2013.
Nationally, the latest data shows over
10,000 people were killed by an impaired
driver. In the city of San Mateo, officers
have investigated 323 collision that resulted in one persons death and another 75
injuries, according to police.
From Dec. 30 through Jan. 2, San Mateo
officers will be deployed in areas with high
frequencies of DUI offenses between 7 p.m.
and 3 a.m.
Its a priority for us year round to do
everything we can to stop not only drunk
drivers, but drugged drivers. With the holidays, our enforcement operations go up
simply because these prove to be the most
dangerous times, said San Mateo police
Sgt. Rick Decker.
Officers from Pacifica, Redwood City,
Daly City, Brisbane, San Bruno, Belmont
and more will also have enforcement operations aimed at arresting intoxicated drivers
before they injure others, said Dianne
McCarthy, Avoid the 23 coordinator and a
management analyst with Daly City police.
As a county with multiple cities in close
proximity and the bustling San Francisco
holiday festivities nearby, McCarthy said
its important for the smaller departments

to pool resources and crack down on drunk
drivers. Avoid the 23 is funded with the help
of a grant from the California Office of
Traffic Safety, through the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Its a festive time, everythings lit up,
fun things are happening during the holidays and always it seems alcohol is there,
McCarthy said, adding people who drink
irresponsibly make bad decisions. The
senses are dulled and their reactions are
slower. People arent thinking ahead and
innocent lives are being compromised.
Planning ahead means designating a
sober driver or using the variety of public
transit or taxi services available. Caltrain
will be offering free rides beginning 8 p.m.
New Years Eve with several trains leaving
San Francisco after midnight. Officials
expect the 2:15 a.m. train to be crowded and
remind riders no open containers of alcohol
are allowed past 9 p.m.
SamTrans will also offer free rides both
New Years Eve starting at 8 p.m. and on
New Years Day until 5 a.m. It will operate
on a less frequent Sunday schedule New
Years Day, according to SamTrans.
BART is extending service until 3 a.m.
New Years Day with trains running every
20 minutes after midnight.

AAA officials are again offering their
Tipsy Tow program where drivers can get a
free tow and ride home, even if theyre not
members.
The service begins 6 p. m. and lasts
through 6 a.m. New Years Day in Northern
California, according to AAA. Drivers, bartenders, party hosts, restaurant managers
and potential passengers can call (800)
222-4357 for a free tow up to 10 miles,
according to AAA.
Even hiring a driver is a much brighter
idea then driving drunk or drugged, Decker
said.
On average, a DUI can cost someone
around $10,000. So this time of year, we try
to make it clear to people that clearly, a
local taxi or ride-[share] service is a heck of
a lot cheaper, Decker said.
While law enforcement officials will be
on high alert, people are encouraged to
report any suspicious behavior and participate in keeping their community safe.
Were working very hard to keep the road
safe for everyone. But for the public, if you
see a drunk driver or someone you suspect of

Our goal is to keep the road safe for everybody this weekend.

The boards can be operated at speeds of

The new law states local governments and

Fashion moment for plaid extends to housewares, home decor

By Leanne Italie
NEW YORK Plaids are having a fashion moment as retailers and designers play
with the classic pattern. But the apparel and
footwear industries are sharing the love:
Fresh takes on plaid have made headway in
housewares and home decor, too.
The great thing about plaid is
that you can take it in so

WINE
wine drinkers of all sorts from novices
looking to develop their palate to experts
interested in further expanding their
already broad base of knowledge.
Glancy, who started in the restaurant and
hotel industry before transitioning to specialize in wine sales and education, said his
goal is to offer the courses and programs in
an interesting as well as accessible fashion.
We make it fun, said Glancy.
He sometimes refers to his workshops
and programs as edu-tainment, which
exists at the intersection of education and
entertainment.
Each class or program offers an opportunity for students to taste as they learn lessons about varietals and blends from the
ferent directions, said Kristen Chalupa, a

kitchen and tabletop product manager for
Crate & Barrel.
Through scale, color and application,
plaids can be complex and traditional, or
simplified for a clean, updated look, she
said.
Theres something very recognizable
and nostalgic about plaid,
Chalupa said.
Her company went for nostalgia but also took a more modern
approach in recent offerings,
with updated plaids in table
linens and such kitchen items as
an oven mitt, pot holder, apron
and dishtowel in a matching pattern of bright red, green, yellow
and blue.
A wide plaid with a metallic
shimmer was on sale there in
Christmas wrapping paper, a
plaid throw in Christmas red
and green
was
called
Cratchit, and Crate &
Barrel also built a crosshatched plaid into the handcrafted iron wire front of a
mi d-cen t ury -i n fl uen ced
fireplace screen.
Target went mad for
plaid in a variety of
ways, including a
limited-edition collaboration with sportswear
designer Adam Lippes in mostly apparel

and accessories, playing on the classic buffalo design. The retailer also offered some
unlikely items such as special-issue
Chapstick sets of three lip balms and plaiddecorated bottles of Listerine mouthwash
in yellow, green and blue.
Plaid has been a defining element of
style for every generation, said Amy
Goetz, a Target spokeswoman. Offering it
across different categories allows our
guests to experience that element of surprise as they browse throughout the entire
store.
Both classic and contemporary plaids are
plentiful throughout the retail universe in
couches, curtains and bedding, but also for
Christmas tree ornaments, in deer shapes
of orange and black on throw pillows, and
in non-traditional color schemes that
include soft pinks. Ugg Australia sells a
calming glacier plaid in soft wool, in blue,
white and light tan with fringe at one hem
just down from a decorative three-button
closure.
Pinterest is awash with ways to decorate a
home using plaid, including wallpaper in
red to anchor a cozy, book-filled study, and
building a plaid design in contemporary
bathroom or kitchen wall tile.
The design need not scream rustic, country
or
all
things
Scotland.
Grahambrown. com offers a thoroughly
modern take on plaid in a charcoal-andwhite wall covering that lends a more
sophisticated air against a white floor and

contemporary white easy chair.
Other sightings of creative uses for plaid:
ISAAC MIZRAHI: The designer sells
on QVC, and recently sold out of a ceramic,
pedestal cake plate with a set of matching
plates in bold preppy designs of green and
blue.
TERVIS: A springy plaid called poppy
was used on double-wall Fiesta plastic wrap
tumblers in two sizes: 16 and 24 ounces. A
set of highball glasses at Fitz and Floyd
were designed in a contemporary, minimalist take on plaid.
RALPH LAUREN: Plaid is alive and
well for apparel and for the home at Ralph
Lauren. A red tartan was used for a porcelain cup-and-saucer set trimmed in gold,
along with dinnerware in the same pattern. A rustic plaid of red, black and gray
inspired by a vintage Ralph Lauren blanket was carried over to napkins and placemats in woven linen. The company also
put a similar vintage-inspired plaid in
wool on a picture frame.
WILLIAMS-SONOMA: Tartan was also
paired here, but in chrome, for picture
frames in red and blue. The traditional plaid
also adorns everything from mugs and
tabletop runners to pillow covers and a
Christmas stocking. One modern take on
plaid is a hand-woven, hair-on cowhide pillow cover in broad red and black stripes
against a white background.
states rich selection of wines, as well as

others from across the globe.
The sessions range from weekly online
classes to intensive wine program management courses ending with an exam and can
offer students an opportunity for various
degrees of certification.
The classes can require students to dedicate between 15 hours and upwards of 40
hours to work toward their preferred level
of training, as well as workshops only
demanding between two to four hours of
specialized education on specific realms of
the wine world.
The school does not solely serve aspiring wine connoisseurs though, as it also
offers education on beers, spirits, sakes
and other drinks.
The new space in South San Francisco
also works as a place to host private and
corporate events, as well as food and wine
pairings, restaurant staff trainings and
even film nights presented with tastings.
Campbell said the school has thrived in
the Bay Area, as residents are constantly

looking to soak up more information
about their passions.
The result of taking the classes is not
just a more informed drinker, but someone
who can share their knowledge as well, she
said.
We teach people how to be a better consumer, she said.
Glancy said the school has done more
than allow students to uncork their passion
for learning, but also exposed them to
wines from regions of the globe they had
not previously tried, which inspired some
to travel to those countries on a quest to
taste more.
For the wine drinkers feeling prepared to
take the next step from simply consuming
to understanding, Glancy suggested the
path of maniacal studying, traveling, asking about what you are having and taste,
taste, taste.
He suggested drinkers look for patterns
that run as similar notes through different
blends, then identify what may be confusing or disorienting and attempt to understand the character of the wine better.
For him, Glancy said teaching the classes has been a great educator, as he is constantly impressed by the breadth of knowledge his students will step into his classroom with and the details they will challenge him on.
Glancy said his expertise grew not from
an innate ability to taste wine differently
than others, but rather a desire to learn as
much as possible, which is a trait he hopes
to pass along to his students.
Campbell said with Glancys talent and
passion for instruction, combined with a
diverse staff of experts working under him,
the wine school intends to blend wine culture into South San Francisco and beyond,
rather than keep the knowledge bottled up.
We want to be a trusted resource in the
wine industry where the community can
come and enjoy all the things wine touches, she said.

Bill Cosby charged with 2004

drugging, sex assault of woman
By Maryclaire Dale
ELKINS PARK, Pa. Bill Cosby

was arrested in the twilight of his life
and career Wednesday and charged with
a decade-old sex crime after a barrage
of accusations from dozens of women
made a mockery of his image as TVs
wise and understanding Dr. Cliff
Huxtable.
Holding a cane, the 78-year-old
comedian walked slowly and unsteadily into court on the arms of his
lawyers to answer charges he drugged
and sexually assaulted a woman less
than half his age at his suburban
Philadelphia home in 2004. He had no
comment as he was released on $1 million bail.
The case marks the first time Cosby
has been charged with sexual misconduct despite years of lurid allegations
and sets the stage for perhaps the
biggest Hollywood celebrity trial of
the mobile-news era.

ger 45 percent of the historical average. On April 1, it had dropped to a
record low of 5 percent.
Gehrke said snow must continue
falling through April for him to feel
confident the drought is easing.

moments when we start to get into a
Make no mistake: We intend to

mount a vigorous defense against this
unjustified charge, and we expect that
Mr. Cosby will be exonerated by a
court of law, his attorney Monique
Pressley said in a statement.
The decision to prosecute came just
days before Pennsylvanias 12-year
statute of limitations for bringing
charges was set to run out. It represents an about-face by the district
attorneys office, which under a previous DA declined to charge Cosby in
2005 when the woman first told police
that the comic put his hands down her
pants.
The former Cosby Show star and
breaker of racial barriers was charged
with aggravated indecent assault, punishable by five to 10 years in prison
and a $25,000 fine. He did not have to
enter a plea.
Prosecutors accused Cosby of plying former Temple University
employee Andrea Constand with pills
and wine, then penetrating her with
his fingers without her consent while

she was drifting in and out of consciousness, unable to resist or cry out.
She was frozen, paralyzed, unable
to move, Montgomery County
District Attorney-elect Kevin Steele
said. In court papers, prosecutors said
the drugs were the cold medicine
Benadryl or some other, unidentified
substance. Steele noted that Cosby
has admitted giving quaaludes to
women he wanted to have sex with.
Cosby acknowledged under oath a
decade ago that he had sexual contact
with Constand but said it was consensual.
Wearing a black-and-white hooded
sweater, Cosby tripped on a curb as he
made his way into court. Inside, he
seemed to have trouble seeing the
paperwork and finding the place to
sign, and his lawyers helped him hold
the pen. But he seemed at ease, laughing and chatting with his attorneys.

you, sir, he shouted: Thank you!

A brewing El Nino system a

Its effects on Californias drought
are hard to predict, but Jet Propulsion
Laboratory climatologist Bill Patzert
said it should bring some relief. El
Ninos in the early 1980s and late
1990s brought about twice as much

The weather also caused mudslides,
