he said in a prepared statement. The
governors proposed budget continues
to invest more in helping students
succeed on their way to 21st century
careers and college.
Under the proposed budget, perpupil spending stands to jump by
$300 from the year prior to $10,900.
In all, the total education investment
is roughly $26 billion more than the
amount during the depths of the Great
Recession.
State lawmakers are expected to
spend the coming months dissecting
the proposal before approving it for
Brown to sign, as a budget is required
to be passed by the end of June.
Though the increased investment
marks a significant jump in funding
for schools over the past several
years, more work stands to be done to
make California competitive with the
rest of the nation in terms of matching
dollars to students, Susan Henry, president of the California School Boards
Association, said in a prepared statement.
In this budget, Gov. Brown has
reiterated his commitment to invest in
the future of Californias transportation infrastructure, she said.
However, Californias students are
our states human infrastructure, and
we must invest in them as well.
Henry cited rising pension costs as
a primary concern regarding the state
school systems financial health.
Recognizing that these costs will
continue increasing at a much higher
rate than previously projected, it is
incumbent upon the state to protect
the Proposition 98 guarantee and to
move toward an adequate level of funding for our schools, she said.
Proposition 98 is the voter
approved initiative requiring a minimum of the states budget to be spent
on the public school system. A portion of the increased money available

STORRS, Conn. UConns womens basketball team is on the verge of winning its
91st straight game, which would break its own
NCAA Division I record that was set between
2008 and 2010. The Huskies play Saturday at
SMU, a team that is 10-6 and just lost to
Tulane. UConns streak ranks among the most
impressive in sports, but there are plenty of
others. Heres a look at some of them:
Trinity-Squash
UConns women dont own the longest winning streak in college sports history, or even
in the state of Connecticut. That streak
belongs to the Trinity mens squash team. The
Bantams won 252 consecutive matches,
including 13 national championships,
between February 1998 and January, 2012,
when they lost to rival Yale.
UCLA-Mens basketball
UConns streaks are most often compared to
the 88-game benchmark put up by John
Wooden and the UCLA men between 1971 and
1974. There are parallels. Both programs are
considered the best in the history of their
sport. UCLA won 10 titles during the Wooden
era. UConn and Auriemma have 11. UCLA
won the final three of its seven consecutive
titles during the winning streak. UConn has
won four straight, two during the streak.
Oklahoma-College football
Oklahoma went more than three seasons
without losing or tying a game. Their 47 con-
Byron Nelson-Golf
Byron Nelson dominated the PGA Tour in
1945, winning 18 tournaments, including an
unprecedented 11 in a row. The closest any
other golfer has come to that record is seven
straight, accomplished by Tiger Woods 2006
and 2007.
Martina Mavratilova-Tennis
Martina Navratilova won 74 straight matches in 1984, including 13 straight tournaments. She also holds the doubles streak
record with Pam Shriver. The pair won 109
straight matches between 1983 and 1985.
ALTENMARKT-ZAUCHENSEE, Au stria
Lindsey Vonn is taking a lot of risk of
doing more damage to her right arm when
she returns to World Cup skiing this weekend, nine weeks after breaking her right
upper arm.
Surgery has made the arm more vulnerable
to another fracture if she has to break a fall,
the four-time overall champion said on
Thursday.
For the rest of my career there will definitely be a lot of risk, Vonn said. The plate
is stable but obviously above the plate my
arm is susceptible to
another fracture. As I
have already a plate in
there, it becomes a very
complicated surgery if I
were to do that.
Vonn would have to fly
back immediately to the
clinic in Vail, Colorado,
Lindsey Vonn where she underwent surgery in November, in
case it happens.
They have to be either taking out the
plate and do another plate, or two plates on
top of each other, the American said. That
is a very complicated surgery.
Vonn suffered the injury in a training crash
on Copper Mountain, Colorado, while
recovering from a left knee injury that ended
her last season prematurely in February.
Late Wednesday, Vonn revealed she struggled with nerve damage so severe she couldnt even move her fingers soon after the surgery in November. She posted a 5 1/2-minute
video on her Facebook page which showed
glimpses of her nine-week rehab. The video
had more than one million views the following day.

understandably meager experience, including none as a head coach at any level of football.
Lane Kiffin was 31 years old when the
Oakland Raiders hired him in January 2007.
That hire didnt work out so well, but perhaps risks are in order to snap the Rams out
of their 12-year playoff drought.
Theyve made the playoffs just four times
in the last 27 years, all during a five-year
span in St. Louis from 1999-2003, and they
havent had a winning record in Los Angeles
since 1989.
Los Angeles has the NFLs youngest roster, but McVay is still younger than Rams
defensive linemen William Hayes. McVay
doesnt inherit an enormous amount of elite
talent beyond Pro Bowl defensive lineman
Aaron Donald and other topflight defensive
players, but the Rams are eager to build a
winning team heading into their new stadium in Inglewood, which they will share with
the Chargers beginning in 2019.
Three Giants remain eligible for arbitration and are set to swap proposed salaries
with the team Friday: right-hander George

Aragon (0-0-1 PAL Bay, 4-0-2 overall) controlled more of the run of play, but it was
Woodside (0-0-1, 1-5-2) that had the better
scoring chances.
The Wildcats had the best chance of the day
minutes into the second half. Earning a free
kick from 37 yards out, Woodsides Daisy
Jimenez put a ball on frame that Aragon goalkeeper Shaye Kenney caught, then dropped.
Thats when all hell broke loose. Kayla Hart
had the first crack at the rebound for the
Wildcats, but Kenney made a lunging stop,
injuring her shoulder when Kenney crashed
into her. Amelia Esteverena pounced on the
second rebound and slotted it into the back of
the net but the goal was waved off because
of offside.
While Navarrete didnt understand the call,
he said he didnt want to make a big deal out of
it.
We still had 35 minutes left to play,
Navarrete said. One day, well get a goal we
dont deserve.
Kenney, however, was forced from the game
with a shoulder injury, forcing backup
Isabella Cortwright between the posts.
She handled the situation flawlessly, finishing with three saves and providing a
steadying calm.
Shes very composed, Dye said. We were
missing Shaye in a preseason game and she
came in. We know were in capable hands.
Before she got hurt, Kenney did a tremendous job of keeping Woodside off the scoreboard because, after struggling for the first 20
minutes, the Wildcats came on strong over the
final 20 minutes of the first half, testing
Kenney several times.
And she passed with flying colors, finishing with seven saves five in the first half

The familiar elements, including
episodes that play out by the clock, are
there for good reason, the shows producers said. The approach remains a
brilliant propulsive engine, said

24: Legacy also is bringing back
the character of Tony Almeida, played

Katz said that reflects what a

I think the focus right now is on
what we can expect for the most part
with the new president going into
office in a few days, Moore said, noting hes heard complaints of racial
incidents at restaurants and high
schools. There are people out there
who feel good in terms of sticking out
their chest and letting people know
that they dont like either Muslims or
African-Americans or what have you.
We have to teach people how to deal
with this, how to stand up to this sort
of nonsense.
Without question, he said its
imperative to teach children about
Kings message of nonviolence and
how to live a life that honors the values hard-fought for by leaders of the
civil rights movement. With the
nations first black president spending his final days in the White House,
Moore noted it feels as though Donald
Trumps rise to the presidency and
heightened racial tensions detract
from the efforts to create a society
that welcomes diversity.
Sometimes when we take two steps
forward, we end up taking a step
back, Moore said. We have to deal
with these things and remember the
many accomplishments of Dr. King,
not only Dr. King but many of the
civil rights fighters going back to the
40s, 50s and 60s in terms of what
they went through. Some of them
gave their lives for the cause. We

For Svelflohn, Powerhouse Gyms
move will allow his team to create the
gym they have always wanted to build.
Because his business was two years
into its second 20-year lease on 2075
Broadway when Lane Partners came
forward with their proposal, the developer said they would facilitate his
business move.
The gym that were going to build
is a million-dollar gym, said
Svelflohn.
Svelflohn is preparing to move his
gym across the street in the next three
to six months. The new Powerhouse
Gym will feature brand-new locker
rooms, showers and equipment as well
as a separate room for yoga and aerobics activities.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Clotilde Carcamo
Case Number: 16PRO00662
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Clotilde Carcamo. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Jorge
E. Carcamo in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Jorge E.
Carcamo 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 the proposed action.)
The independent administration authority
will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: February 01, 2017
at 9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable 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 DE154) 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.

The foundation hopes to use funding from
a variety of sources such as the city and
county of San Mateo plus a loan to construct the facility estimated to cost between
$12 million and $16 million, according to
the city report. The proposal includes an
indoor facility with at least two sheets of
ice, locker rooms, a training center, restaurant, parking and youth homework center.
The U.S. Badminton Center Group also
expressed interest in building a facility
housing between 20 and 50 badminton
courts, wellness center, training facility and
a variety of other amenities at the driving
range owned and operated by the city.

DROUGHT

unleashed burbling waterfalls in southern
deserts, and doubled the vital snowpack in
the Sierra Nevada in little more than a week.
Declaring California as a whole to be past
its official three-year drought emergency
will be up to Gov. Jerry Brown, who will
probably wait until the end of the winter
rain and snow season to make that decision.
But for people in northern cities such as
Sacramento, where state workers opened
flood gates to ease pressure on levees for
the first time in a dozen years, releasing a
two-mile-wide torrent of excess water from
the surging Sacramento River, the call on
declaring the dry spell over in Northern
California looked much clearer.
Its hard to say we have a drought here
right now, said Jay Lund, director of the
Center for Watershed Sciences at the
University of California at Davis.
Lund spoke as he returned from taking students to see the wrenched-open, century-old
flood gates in Sacramento, which got its
heaviest rain in 20 years this week.

She noted the bureau has not adopted a formal position on the issue, but a group of
local hoteliers wrote a letter to the council
expressing their support for Topgolf as
well.
We are all in support of the Topgolf
application over any other proposed entertainment uses, according to a letter signed
by executives at the Hyatt Regency, Crowne
Plaza, San Mateo Marriott and other local
hotels.
LeClair said Topgolf would meet the needs
of corporate groups seeking amenities adjacent to the hotels east of Highway 101, in
an area otherwise starved for entertainment
opportunities.
The committee examining the proposals
explored an opportunity to share the site
between applicants, but found parking
restrictions precluded such an alternative,
according to the report.
Ultimately, officials concluded Topgolf
would serve as the highest and best use of
the site.
Topgolf is a proven, successful and profitable brand name business with operations
around the country, and they have prior
experience working with municipalities,
according to the report.
