Here's a month-by-month reminder of what occurred in The Jewel in 2011. January � The 20-plus-year legal battle over the constitutionality of Mount Soledad's landmark cross continued with a rally to defend keeping the Korean War Memorial centerpiece in place in the wake of the 9th Circuit Court's ruling that the cross was an illegal religious symbol on federally owned land. � Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) got the green light to do a $25 million climate research project. � A master plan for long-anticipated Torrey Pines Road improvements was unveiled.

Cunningham's contemporary opus, "The Razor." Perched above Torrey Pines State Reserve at 9826 La Jolla Farms Way, the 11,000-square-foot estate boasts an open, minimalist design of white polished concrete and floor-to-ceiling glass that emphasizes its uninterrupted views of ocean and sky. The home, which has never been occupied, has been featured in television ads for Calvin Klein and Visa. It has a vanishing-edge pool and two-story guesthouse. Records show it cost roughly $32 million to build. "In my 32 years in real estate it is without question one of the most architecturally significant and beautiful homes I've ever seen," said Jeffrey Nunn, branch manager of Coldwell Banker La Jolla. Laleh and Niloo Monshizadeh of Coldwell Banker represented the buyer, Donald Burns and Bob Hurwitz of Hurwitz James in Beverly Hills represented the seller, Jimmy Donald Cooksey, Jr. Despite its opulence, records show the home had both federal and state tax liens placed on it, and remained on the market Galleria JAN marks its 25th anniversary, B7 See hoMeS, a13 Known as The Razor, the home at 9826 La Jolla Farms way, sold for $14.1 million on Dec. 21.

Former City Councilman Bill Mitchell reports being one of the victims. "We ordered a $45 subscription, didn't really want the magazine but wanted to help out the poor stu- dent who said he was trying earn a trip to Spain," Mitchell said. "When I talked to Maggie Blanchard, she told me, `We don't have a grandson.' Another woman from Rancho Bernardo called her and told her she was similarly ripped off for $250." SDPD officer Mark Soulia asked Mitchell to put out a bulletin to the homeowner's association alerting residents of the activity. Door-todoor magazine subscription sales should be reported to the police at (619) 531-2000.

San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts has provided funding for her work specifically for remote sensing in Eastern San Diego County for the purpose of better wildfire identification and response. Block also has support from the San Diego unit chief for CAL FIRE. As final validation, she received a $262,000 NSF grant to merge data from local weather stations with predictive models. Block's interest in this field stems from her experience witnessing Australia's worst wildfire in 2009. She soon began working with firefighters to leverage technology as a means of assisting in fighting fires. Jennifer Burney, a University of California President's Postdoctoral Fellow at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, is interested in understanding how changes in cooking habits -- such as replacing homemade cook stoves in rural India with cleaner-burning alternatives -- could have effects on climate change and public health. Jessica Block This work links to broader issues such as the environmental impacts of food production and consumption. The research has caught the attention of the National Geographic Society which has named Burney an "Emerging Explorer," an award that provides financial support for scientists early in their careers. Gordon, a unique data-intensive supercomputer using flashbased memory officially goes online Jan. 1 at the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UCSD. Gordon is capable of handling massive data bases while providing up to 100 times faster speeds when compared to hard-drive disk systems. It's secret: About 300 trillion Jennifer Burney bytes of flash memory, the technology commonly used in mobile phones and laptop computers. Gordon generated tremendous buzz in the technology community during its test phase and is already ranked among the top 50 fastest supercomputers in the world. And, yes, Gordon is named after the 1950s Flash Gordon science fiction hero. Malene Hansen, this assistant professor is a rising star at the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute. Even in the face of difficult funding times, she received two research project grants from NIH -- a sure sign of good things to come. Hansen's research interest is the malene Hanson molecular mechanisms that affect the process of aging and age-related diseases. A paper by Hansen that unraveled how the interplay between two cellular processes influences lifespan in the worm C. elegans � an important research model � was deemed an "exceptional" work by the Faculty of 1000, which identifies and evaluates the most important articles in biology and medical research. Michael A. Marletta takes over the helm of The Scripps Research Institute as president and CEO on Jan. 1. This is the first presidential transition at TSRI in 25 years, following the retirement of Richard Lerner. Marletta, a biochemist, is ac- michael a. marletta knowledged as a pioneer in discovering the role of nitric oxide, a critical player in communication between cells. Marletta will maintain a lab of a dozen people while at the same time building up TSRI's research infrastructure and expanding the number of up-andcoming scientists on the faculty. Expect a major fundraising effort in this regard.

IC0406-A Scorecard: Checking back with past profiled scientists By Lynne FriedmAnn Sandra Ann Brown hit the ground running as UCSD vice chancellor for research by introducing new electronic systems to reduce paperwork, save time, and boost scholar and researchers' productivity. Among them: Electronic Research Administration Program (eRAP), a new centralized proposal-submission process; and Research Proposal Development Service that enables faculty and researchers to respond faster and more effectively to funding opportunities, leading to the university's second-best year for research funding, despite the tough economy. Astrophysicist Alison Coil, assistant professor in the UCSD department of physics, received a prestigious NSF Career Grant that will allow her to carry out three complementary research projects to tackle key questions about galaxy evolution. She was also the recipient of a Hellman Faculty Fellows Award designed to provide financial support and encouragement to young faculty who show capacity for great distinction in their research and creative activities. Philip Steven Low, founder and CEO of NeuroVigil, was named the first recipient of the Jacobs-Rady Pioneer Award for Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship honoring an exceptional scientist and chief executive for combined leadership in technology and business. In May, NeuroVigil closed its initial round of financing, with a pre-investment valuation reportedly over twice the combined seed valuations of Google and Facebook's first rounds. Eric Topol, chief academic officer of Scripps Health and chief medical officer of the West Wireless Health Institute, received the 2011 TCT (Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics) Career Achievement Award in recognition of his contributions as a pioneer in the field of interventional cardiovascular medicine. Topol was also senior author and principal investigator of the first study on the psychological effect of genetic testing on consumers (published in the New England Journal of Medicine). Yuanyuan (YY) Zhou, Qualcomm Chair in Mobile Computing in the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering, was highly visible at two international conferences this past year. She co-chaired APSys 2011 (Shanghai), a must-attend meeting for computer systems researchers and practitioners worldwide. Her presentation at another software engineering conference (held in Hungary), received the meeting's distinguished paper award. OUR NEXT EVENT: JANUARY 11, 2012 � 1-7 PM New Year New You!

Se Habla Espanol Page a6 - DECEMBER 29, 2011 - LA JOLLA LIGHT www.lajollalight.com Historical Society exhibit paints portrait of La Jolla during WW II By Pat Sherman During the dark days of the Second World War, La Jolla would often dim to the occasion, as depicted in the La Jolla Historical Society's current exhibit about life in La Jolla during the war. "People were so afraid the Japanese would attack that you had to turn out all your lights at night," said society historian Carol Olten, standing in the exhibit's makeshift "blackout" room, covered with heavy black sheets like those residents used to prevent light from escaping their homes during the war. Blackouts were enacted to prevent enemy aircraft from reaching their targets by sight. They also helped prevent ships from being viewed in silhouette against the shore, and vulnerable to attack by enemy submarines. "La Jolla had quite a number of blackouts during the war years," Olten said. "Down by the Museum of Contemporary Art there's a wall that was built by Ellen Browning Scripps that had lamps on it to guide the ships at night. That was one of the things that La Jolla turned off." "Mount Soledad ... was a survey point. They spotted planes from up there." The exhibition, "Homefront La Jolla: An American Community During World War II," is open Thursdays through Sundays, noon to 4 p.m. through May 27. The exhibit is comprised of items from the society archives with additional artifacts on loan from Veterans Museum in Balboa Park and the Japanese American Historical Society of San Diego. If you go n What: "Homefront La Jolla: An American Community During World War II" n When: Noon to 4 p.m. Thursdays-Sundays to May 27 n Where: Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St. n Admission: Free n Phone: (858) 459-5335 n Website: lajollahistory.org The exhibition includes airplane spotter cards, which were used like flash cards to help members of the military and civilian defense identify and differentiate Allied and Axis planes. An army footlocker belonging to deceased La Jolla resident Robert Larimer served as inspiration for the exhibit, and contains items on loan from the Veterans Museum, like those the major and Silver Star recipient would have carried with him during the war. "We started wondering what was it like in La Jolla during World War II so we set out to interview people who were here or who came here because of the war or who had to leave here because of the war." Additional information for the exhibit was gleaned from the oral histories of La Jolla residents who lived through World War II, or their surviving relatives. The taped histories will help the society fill gaps in La Jolla history from the post-war era to present, said society archivist Mike Mishler. "You're getting the stories about what they remembered about World War II, but you're also getting the stories about what life was like beyond just the war, and I think that will be a very valuable resource as we try to build our collection," Mishler said. The oral history of World War II veteran Don Schutte was conducted by a student at La Jolla High School. Schutte donated a scrapbook of artifacts for the exhibition, which includes a series of mail correspondence with his parents, as well as his capture and imprisonment Carol Olten browses through a scrapbook Don Schutte compiled of his experiences during World War II.

Pat Sherman PhotoS by the German army during the Battle of the Bulge, on Dec. 16, 1944, in Luxembourg. Transported to several prisoner of war camps, Schutte was eventually released during the armistice of May 1945. The final page of the scrapbook contains a letter he wrote to himself on Dec. 2, 1945, stating: "Hello there, great to be a civilian, isn't it?" "The fact that he kept this scrapbook all these years and he had the telegram that his parents received notifying them (of his capture), I think that's just really fascinating," Mishler said. "It's something I hope everybody takes a look at. It's very powerful stuff." www.take2ladiesconsignor.com 6786 La Jolla Boulevard � La Jolla Located next to WindanSea Cafe 858.459.0095 Happy New Year! 7910 Girard Avenue � Suite 9 � La Jolla 858.459.0601 RENTAL CENTER $1500 $2800 $3000 $3200 OCV Village Condo overlooking Park/Cove $777,000 Granite/Marble Kit & Baths, Walk to Beach, Shopping 1/1 2/2 2/2 2/2 Palomar, duplex, pvt patio Furn, El Paseo Grande, Clubo peek OCV Furn, Exchange, www.lajolladreamcottage.com VACATION � SHORT & LONG TERM Exchange, Quaint redone Cottage Enrich Your R etirement The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute - UC San Diego $2200-$3300 2+/2 Furn, El Paseo Grande, Clubdo, short or long trm $3500 $3995 $4000 $4000 $5200 $5500 $6800 2/2 2/2 2/2 1/1 5/3 Furn, Cam del Oro, OCV, Shores Furn, 1040 Coast Blvd So.

In June, a Superior Court judge ordered a preliminary injunction restraining LJHS officials from limiting messages that can be painted on those benches. March � La Jolla High School Foundation's Board launched "Conquer the Cuts," a five-week fundraising campaign that netted $154,000 to offset school budget cuts, saving programs and teaching jobs. � A debate ensued when Bonair Street neighbors objected to the Riford Center's Fireworks over The Cove in July plan to put an ADA-access ramp on their side of the building. Neighbors eventually prevailed and the ramp was built in the front of the building. � Longtime Real Estate Brokers Association (REBA) manager Anna Galloway retired and was feted for her many years of service, while investor Kevin Kinsella renovated the old ivy-covered Copley Library turning it into exhibit space "for things of significance to La Jolla." April � La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc., split from its parent body, La Jolla Town Council, to become an independent entity to continue its mission of advising the city on coastal parks and beaches. � A jury deliberated two hours before returning a guilty verdict for reckless driving and hit-and-run to 66-year-old transient Ronald Troyer, who seriously injured three teens and two adults when he crashed through a Bird Rock roundabout and into a restaurant in August 2010. � La Jolla Shores merchants rose up against a proposed storm water drain replacement project proposed for September 2012 that tune-in ...to The Financial Advisors Radio Series Every Saturday at 8am On AM 600 KOGO A portion of mural No. 5 at Hotel Parisi many feared would put them out of business.

Some of the most precious and memorable times I have shared with others, have been during the holiday season. Of course, there are many busy moments, too, but sitting down and listening to others and really caring what they say and feel has often been a very rewarding experience for me. Listening has been said to be an art that needs a lot of practice. I want to try develop that art and listen more this year and learn more about those I am with.

The nectar produced from these beautiful plants has become very popular as a sugar and syrup substitute as it has a milder flavor than syrup but is sweeter than honey. The heart of the blue agave (Agave tequilana) is used to make tequila. The foxtail agave (Agave attenuata) is a common succulent in gardens and along walkways, probably because it is one of the only agaves not armed with spikes on the margins of its leaves. Although a pretty green color, it is fairly unremarkable unless it is flowering, and then it can be quite spectacular. Like all agaves, these plants must save their energy before they can send up a flower stalk. This may take a long time -- perhaps up to 20 years depending on the soil and local environment, thus earning the agaves the common name of century plant. Beginning in the middle of the foxtail agave (and looking a bit like an asparagus stalk), the flower stem (or inflorescence) shoots up- A Natural La Jolla Bees visit open agave flowers. the pollen baskets on these two bees are nearly full.

Foxtail agave flowers open from the base of the inflorescence first, and are quickly visited by bees and other insects for pollination. On the flowers, bees will sip nectar and collect pollen -- storing it in pollen baskets (or corbicula) on their hind legs. Unlike many of the other agaves, the foxtail agave doesn't die after it blooms. There are now plenty of these pretty flower stalks to see here around town. -- Kelly Stewart, Ph.D. is a postdoc with NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center.

Courtesy From House, A1 for more than three years before Donald Burns, a 47-year-old real estate investor from Palm Beach (Fla.) with ties to the telecom industry, picked it up this month for $14.1 million cash, according to agent Hurwitz and San Diego 10News. That's almost a third of the original asking price of $45 million. The oceanfront property failed to sell at two auctions this fall. Coldwell Banker sold another of La Jolla's residential jewels this year, a 6,039-squarefoot ranch-style home at 5960 Camino de la Costa. Built in 1949, the seven-bedroom, five-bath home went for slightly more than $11.5 million, a more modest reduction in a listing price of $13.9 million. Though in 2009 another four La Jolla homes sold for $10 million or more, only one home sold for as much in 2010, according to the La Jolla Real Estate Broker's Association. Nunn said 2011's $10 million-plus sales signal an uptick in the market for luxury homes. "It tells me the people with cash are sensing it's time to put their money into real estate," Nunn said. "The fear of bottom falling out is gone." Another La Jolla home, at 6040 Camino de la Costa, sold for $10.8 million this year. The 1935 Spanish-Mediterranean home's original asking price was $12.9 million. It sold within a matter of months. "It went pretty quick because it was priced right," said Linda Daniels, an agent with Willis Allen Real Estate who handled the sale. Maxine and Marti Gellens of Prudential California Realty recently sold a home at 1330 Inspiration Drive for $12 million, though it took 40 or 50 showings before a buyer fell in love with the seven-bedroom, 11-bath "Old Muirlands trophy estate." The 12,203-square-foot home was originally listed at a range of $13,250,000 to $15,000,876. Daniels said the houses agents are "struggling a bit" to sell are those in the $2 million to $4 million range. "Nowadays people don't want houses that they have to do anything to," she said, noting a concurrent downswing in rebuilds. "People want instant gratification right now. I think that's just a sign of the times. They don't want to overspend, they don't want to overcommit." Claudette Blanchard Berwin, broker-owner at Gallery Properties in La Jolla, said she sees the uptick in ultra-luxury sales as great news. Berwin, who is poised to list a coastal La Jolla home with a small vineyard for $4 million, said the $2 million to $4 million-price range actually "opened up" at her office. "I think there's a lot of pent-up demand," she said. "Those that can afford the homes are tired of waiting. I'm hoping to see $5 million-plus (home sales) become a lot more frequent in 2012. I'm extremely optimistic." Nunn said the average listing price at Coldwell Banker was more than $1 million, though the sweet spot for actual sales was between $700,000 and $800,000. According to DataQuick Information Systems, there were 16 single-family residential home sales last month in La Jolla, with an average sales price of about $1.5 million, up by 7.9 percent from the same period last year.

Surviving family members -- wife Myrna Naegle of La Jolla, daughters Caroline Hendricks of San Diego, Michelle Kerwin of Kenwood, and Melanie Miller of Santa Rosa, and son Eric Naegle of San Diego -- reflect on the priceless gift of sharing in Dale's humanity and his fine and worthwhile life. Always a devoted husband, father and gentleman, Dale is cherished as the fount of life through which all good things flowed. Dale relished shopkeeper/home living with Myrna, the perfect fit for her sparkling clothing boutique with his office below and their residence above. It became a lively Mecca for family, friends and clients. An affable, mirth-filled man, Dale's sense of humor left a glow of goodwill in any milieu. Great strength of character underlay Dale's modest persona, mirrored in the integrity and simple beauty of his architectural designs. He modeled qualities of two esteemed men of mettle -- the undaunted John Wayne of "True Grit," and the all-American patriot, leader Ron- ald Reagan. A polio handicap never stunted his stature. Dale always walked tall and with grace among men. --Dianne Schroeder, La JoLLa Rules for leaf blowers I'm in complete agreement with Rand Hogan (Dec. 8 view on weed blowers). I deliver mail in San Diego. Everyday I cross paths with at least five leaf blowers. Would it be all right if I invented a gadget that busts eardrums, causes headaches and swirls dust? No. Would it be OK if I parked a Harley motorcycle on the street and gunned it for 15 minutes? No. How did this country survive without leaf blowers? Is there no regulation of this product? Eric Taub, La JoLLa www.lajollalight.com OPINION LetterS to the editor LA JOLLA LIGHT - DECEMBER 29, 2011 - Page a15 Goodbye 2011 and goodbye lawsuit Our family is pleased to announce our lawsuit against the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) and the City of San Diego has been resolved. With the filing of our lawsuit, we wanted both the LJCPA and the City of San Diego to acknowledge the appeal "Policy and Procedures" of the LJCPA were inconsistent with City Council Policy 600-24 and their own City approved bylaws. Although our family is regretful as applicants we were required to take this course of action, the purpose in filing and pursing our lawsuit has been accomplished. The LJCPA has been instructed by the City of San Diego to incorporate their appeal "Policy and Procedures" into their City reviewed and approved bylaws. In order to comply with the City's request, the LJCPA has established an "Ad Hoc Committee" instructed to rewrite and incorporate their appeal "Policy and Procedures" into their City approved bylaws. We are hopeful the Ad Hoc Committee members read and understand City Council Policy 600-24, Appeal Procedure Information Bulletin 505 and Information Bulletin 620 (Community Planning Committees) prior to rewriting and submitting their appeal "Policy and Procedures" to the City. Following the City's receipt of the Ad Hoc Committee's request, the City Planning staff will review the amendment language for content and conformance with Council Policy 600-24, the City approved Bylaws shell and the Brown Act and submit their appeal "Policy and Procedures" to the City Attorney's Office for review. Following City review, staff will work with the Ad Hoc Committee on any needed changes. If the Ad Hoc Committee's appeal "Policy and Procedures" conform to the City Council Policy 600-24, the City approved Bylaws shell and Brown Act they will be approved administratively by signature of the Deputy Director of Planning and the Deputy City Attorney. Additionally, since the filing of our lawsuit, the City of San Diego on Aug. 4, 2011 changed the San Diego Municipal Code to comply with California state law concerning their own appeal review process involving environmental appeals. Having accomplished our goals, we have decided to dismiss our lawsuit and concentrate in 2012 on obtaining the final approval from the City for our mixed-use project and future home. To date, our project has approval from the City of San Diego Planning Staff, Hearing Officer and the Planning Commission. We will now complete the requested Environmental Impact Report for the City Council and move forward. We want to thank our many friends and neighbors for their continued support throughout 2011. The Whitney Family Seal `dumping' has led to ocean safety issues In a recent opinion by L. Jordan-Smith, she dismisses my concerns by saying that La Jolla will never compare, with regards to piniped population, to the Farallon Islands. That wasn't the issue. The issue is whether creating a seal colony here makes it more dangerous to be in the ocean in La Jolla than it used to be before the seal colony was created. The seal colony was created by Sea World as a dump-off point for recovered seals. Sea World will continue to dump recovered animals there as long as they are allowed to do so. The maturity and gestation rate of seals therefore is only part of the factor in increasing the seal population at Children's Pool. We're feeding the sharks a piniped population that didn't exist before eight or 10 years ago when Sea World started dumping them here instead of taking them out to the old rookery on San Clemente Island. Great Whites used to pass by here once in a great blue moon. Now there's enough of a piniped population to sustain at least one permanent Great White, or maybe a family of them, thanks to the Friends of the Seals and people like L. Jordan-Smith who want to make pets out of shark food and chum our local waters with them, and then won't concede the obvious. Roger Raffee, Via email The seal rope at the Children's Pool is intended to keep visitors away from the pupping seals. Dave Schwab photo Editor's Note: In an effort to put the sealdumping issue to rest, the Light contacted SeaWorld. Here is the response: The notion that SeaWorld is responsible for harbor seals hauling out at the Children's Pool is untrue. There have been harbor seals inhabiting the waters off the San Diego County coast long before SeaWorld began rescuing harbor seals. We don't rescue that many harbor seals in a given year � maybe around a half dozen to 10 animals, which is a negligible percentage of the number of harbor seals living in the water off the San Diego County coast. Those that are rehabilitated and can be returned to the sea are released a mile-and-ahalf or more off the coast in the kelp beds from Point Loma to north of Oceanside. No harbor seals are released at the Children's Pool. SeaWorld marine mammal rescue, rehabilitation and return program has in no way resulted in harbor seals hauling out at Children's Pool. David Koontz, SeaWorld San diego OBITUARIES parents were British, she was named for a German nurse who her father said saved his life while he was in a German prison camp after his merchant ship was torpedoed during WWI. Ursula was raised in New York City where in fifth grade she met a boy named Paul Roth. After she entered Catholic school, they would not be classmates again until they both attended Queens College in Queens, NY. Ursula and Paul became friends but never officially "dated." More typically he would call and say his mother was sending him to the Fulton Fish Market and ask if she wanted to go. "It's interesting," would be his lure. Another favorite outing was taking the subway out to the stables in Forest Hills where Paul taught her to ride. In March of 1942, in an unlikely replay of an event nearly 30 years earlier, the merchant ship John Reynolds was on was the target of a German torpedo. This time, however, he was trapped in the engine room and did not survive. When Ursula learned her father would never come home again, she called her friend Paul. He picked her up in his old Ford and they drove out to Holmes Airport and parked by the runway. In her own words, "He held me close, keeping me close while my mournful howls drowned out the roar of the airplanes." Later that year, when Paul was about to leave on his first tour of Naval duty on the West coast, he suggested it would be a good idea if they married. Ursula remembered that as the best idea Paul ever had. Ursula and Paul had what she described as a "full marriage," raising five children � four daughters and a son � in whom she took great joy. She was fond of noting, "Children, like roses, reflect their care." She was profoundly proud of the reflection cast by her children. Her only regret was that Paul did not live to experience the later years that brought what she described as such "sweet rewards." Paul died suddenly of a heart attack in 1978. When asked why over the 33 years since she never dated, much less remarried, she would answer matter-of-factly, "Why would I? I found my one true love." Stoical in the face of hardship or her own physical discomfort, Ursula was effusive when it came to the simple pleasures she took from the company of her family, friends and the community she called home for 42 years. She worked with the local city council to preserve the Fay Avenue extension as a bike path. She was an avid baseball fan and loyally supported her Padres. A theatre buff, she frequented the La Jolla Playhouse and Old Globe. She carried on Paul's love of animals with contributions to the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park. Later in life she discovered and supported La Jolla's Riford Center, where she took exercise and yoga classes. Ursula will be remembered as a kind and thoughtful mother and friend who challenged those she loved to "be good and do good;" to live truthful lives characterized by tolerance and passion. She is survived by four of her children, Elizabeth, Martha, David and Barbara; 10 grandchildren; and, just recently, her first greatgrandchild. One of the few tragedies of her charmed life was outliving her second daughter, Etta, who died of cancer in 2010. Ursula would take great pleasure in knowing that her passing resulted in donations in her memory to the Riford Center or to a charity of your choice. As she might say, "Oh frabjousday. Calloo! Callay!" Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy. com/obituaries/lajollalight.

Fabio Speziali, who owns the quaint restaurant at 2151 Avenida de la Playa in the heart of the Shores, with Antonio Mastellone (who also owns Arrivederci in Hillcrest) said this is one of their busiest times of the year. And to accent the spirit of the season they highlight a few special traditional dishes, combining the tastes of Speziali's Lake Como home and Mastellone's Sorrento heritage. In addition to daily specials that are switched up year-round, in December they add sweet bread and Baccala. The latter is a meal of dried cod that is soaked in water for three to four days to cleanse it of the salt used to preserve it, Speziali said. Once ready to cook, it is served with fresh tomato sauce, olives and capers. Osteria Romantica does not offer a prix fixe menu option, he said, choosing instead a wide selection of a la carte offerings. Drawing a large crowd of regulars from the Shores neighborhood, Speziali said the restaurant attracts a wider range of diners during the "nice season" when the weather warms up. And on Tuesday nights, regulars and visitors get a 50 percent discount on bottles of Jacobs to retire from Qualcomm Board Qualcomm Inc. announced that Irwin Mark Jacobs will complete his current term on its board of directors and will retire from the board at the 2012 annual stockholder meeting. In recognition of his achievements with the company, the board has conferred upon him the title of "Founding Chairman and CEO Emeritus." "When we first started Qualcomm, I told my wife Joan that, if we were lucky, we might grow to 100 employees," Jacobs said. "We clearly have surpassed that. I am immensely proud of the company we have built, its more than 22,000 employees, and the impact Qualcomm has made on the telecom industry and the lives of mobile users worldwide. I leave knowing that Qualcomm's strong management team and technical roadmap will ensure the Company's continuing success." Of the move, his son, Paul E. Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm said, "As a father, university professor and business leader, Irwin inspired generations of engineers, including me, to think beyond what is possible today and pursue the technology breakthroughs of tomorrow." Jacobs served as chief executive officer from Qualcomm's founding on July 1, 1985 to its 20th anniversary, June 30, 2005 and as chairman from founding until March 2009. He and his six co-founders established Qualcomm with the goal of creating a company that could innovate rapidly and develop commercial solutions to some of the communication industry's most challenging Irwin and Joan Jacobs problems. As CEO, Jacobs oversaw Qualcomm's revolutionary innovations in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), a technology fundamental to today's 3G mobile wireless standards. Previously, Jacobs co-founded and led Linkabit, a development and manufacturing company whose approach to technology ultimately made it an incubator to more than 100 other technology companies in San Diego. Jacobs is currently chair of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and of the National Academy of Engineering. He has received many industry, education and business accolades, including the National Medal of Technology in 1994, the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell medal in 1995, the Financial Times Lifetime Achievement award for 25 years in Telecommunications in 2005, the IEEE and Royal Society of Edinburgh James Clerk Maxwell Award in 2007, and the Marconi Society Prize in 2011. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Old-world charm is evident in the dinning room. DANIEL K.

Currently in development, it's designed to add more residents to the town council's membership roster, while boosting community shopping, dining and entertainment. Under the program, town council resident or business members are entitled to exclusive, sizable discounts from participating merchants. "Any business member who wants to can participate free of charge," said John Weinstein, town council vice president. "They can offer any discount they like. The beauty of the program is it encourages people to shop in La Jolla." Council trustee Greg Phillips, who's spearheading the program added, "We think it's a win-win. It's a win for residents looking to save a little money, who many not otherwise patronize some of these local businesses, and it's a win for local businesses to capture a new customer base." Thus far, more than a dozen Village businesses have expressed interest in the program, with several announcing discounted products or services.

The annual fee to join the council is $50 for residents, $100 for businesses. Anyone can become a member by paying the fee and filing a membership form. Phillips said the council is busy lining up more Village businesses to participate in the Shop Local program.

Jeff Moorad As founder of Moorad Sports Management, he began specializing in athlete representation in 1983. His client base took off in 1984 when he was retained by Will Clark and four other members of the U.S. Olympic baseball team, each of whom were Top 10 draft choices. In 1985, he joined forces with Leigh Steinberg to form a dynamic twosome in sports representation, covering both Major League Baseball and the National Football League. The duo negotiated more than $3 billion in athlete contracts throughout their 18 years together, including representing Pro Football Hall of Famers Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Warren Moon and Thurman Thomas. Moorad was the negotiator on a number of landmark contracts for baseball clients that included Manny Ramirez, Eric Karros, Ivan Rodriguez, Mo Vaughn, Shawn Green and Raul Mondesi. He and Steinberg appeared in (and served as technical consultants) to director Cameron Crowe in the 1996 Oscar-winning film "Jerry Maguire," and then Moorad had a cameo and consulted on "For Love of the Game." In February 2009, Moorad and a California-based group, reached an agreement to purchase the San Diego Padres. Moorad was named CEO. Moorad guided his firm into sports technology ventures, publishing and charitable projects. He helped his clients understand the responsibility of serving as role models, encouraging them to contribute millions of dollars to community programs, including their own non-profit foundations and alma maters. Moorad endowed a $100,000 baseball scholarship to his alma mater UCLA. Eight places to whet your whistle with a yuletide twist Seasonal Sips Alex Fatoohi holds a Merry Chocotini at Barbarella.

Dr. Silvia Dubovoy has been training Montessori preschool teachers at the Institute for the past 15 years. Many of these teachers now work in area schools. Shannon Helfricht gave the keynote speech at the event and signed copies of her book, "Montessori Learning in the 21st Century: A Guide for Parents and Teachers." "Parents are realizing that we have to prepare children to respond to a future that we do not know ourselves," Dr. Dubovoy said. "The old teacher-centered educational model must give way to a more child-centered approach in order for the next generation to navigate the currents of a rapidly changing society."

LEW an Diego's Balboa Park is renowned for its museums and gorgeous setting, so it's only fitting the park's only fullservice restaurant -- The Prado at Balboa Park -- offers its own sense of culture with California-modern cuisine blended with international influences. Like the draw of attractions or arts events at Balboa Park, The Prado can be considered a destination restaurant. It is located at the heart of the park inside the architecturallygrand House of Hospitality building, a historic landmark. Executive Chef Jonathan Hale said he has created a menu with "fresh, bold flavors" which compliment the location, ambiance and decor. "There is something for everyone," Hale said of the "eclectic but accessible" cuisine. In addition to innovative, American dishes with French, Spanish and Asian touches, the menu carries familiar, comfort-food favorites. Popular appetizers reflecting the menu's diverse flavors and international influences include Spicy Calamari Fries (with Korean chili sauce and napa-cabbage slaw), Prado Sea Cake, and Kobe Beef Sushi Roll. Not the usual crab cake, Prado Sea Cake consists of crab, shrimp and cod with South Asian sambal remoulade, Spanish piquillo aioli; and served with an apple-jicama slaw. The Beef Sushi Roll has a good balance of textures and flavors with the soft sushi rice, crunchy asparagus, bold zing in the wasabi cream, a hint of citrus in the ponzu dipping sauce, along with flavorful tobiko aioli. Some of the salads have changing ingredients based on the season. A popular winter salad is the 3 "P" Salad. Thin-shaved, orange-colored persimmon are beautifully arranged and topped with sliced pears, chopped pecans, watercress, mint and a honey-ginger vinaigrette. The result is a www.lajollalight.com On The The Prado at Balboa Park The Vibe: Cultural, casually elegant, romantic, eclectic, relaxing Signature Dishes: Sea Cake, Beef Sushi Roll, Seafood Paella, Braised Beef Short Ribs, Pan-Roasted White Sea Bass, Shrimp and Filet Open Since: 1999 Reservations: Recommended Patio Seating: Yes Take Out: No 1549 El Prado, San Diego (619) 557-9441 www.pradobalboa.com Happy Hour: 4-6 p.m. and 8-10 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday 4-6 p.m. and 8-11 p.m. Friday 8-11 p.m. Saturday Hours: � Lunch: 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday-Friday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday-Sunday � Dinner: 5 p.m. to close � Holiday Hours: Inquire The Prado's main dining room is filled with hand-crafted decor and Spanish architecture.

A visit to Balboa Park isn't complete without dining at The Prado On The Menu Recipe Each week you'll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com. Just click `Get The Recipe' at the bottom of the story. This week: Shrimp and Filet: Grilled Angus petite filet, marinated grilled shrimp, garlic potato puree, green beans, crispy shallots, and bordelaise sauce. The Prado's Pan-Roasted White Sea Bass light and tasty combination. One of the more fitting entree choices -- based on the restaurant's Spanish architecture -- is the Prado Seafood Paella. Fish, mussels, shrimp, calamari, chicken and chorizo are simmered with a twist on tradition by using a lobster-saffron broth. Seafood dishes include local fish, like the Pan-Roasted White Sea Bass. It is served with French green lentils, baby spinach, pancetta, star-anise emulsion and topped with fineshaved fennel -- resulting in a Californiamodern dish with a touch of French and Asian ingredients. "Lentils are great in the fall with a great, Earthy flavor," Hale said. "The accompanying carrots have some vibrant colors; there is a sweetness in the sauce, and the big-flakes in the fish give some nice texture." Braised Beef Short Ribs is a signature dish in which its preparation may change seasonally. Hale said the rich flavors of the beef are balanced with horseradish mashed potatoes to give sharpness to the dish; an Italian gremolata mixture of roasted garlic, parsley and citrus; and grilled asparagus for texture. The short ribs are slow-roasted for hours and so tender that a knife is not needed. Beef lovers would also be wise to choose 3 "P" Salad: Shaved persimmon, sliced pears, chopped pecans, watercress, mint, and honey-ginger vinaigrette. Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Bar: Cake, mousse, praline crunch, and baconhazelnut tuille. PHOTOS BY DANIEL K. LEW the Grilled 16-ounce Bone in Ribeye (with truffled mac 'n cheese, and green peppercorn sauce), or Shrimp and Filet (Grilled Angus petite filet, marinated grilled shrimp, garlic potato puree, green beans, crispy challots, harts of palm, and bordelaise sauce). One of the top vegetarian dishes is a ThaiStyle Yellow Curry Red Pepper Pappardelle with Tofu (coconut milk, lemongrass, lime leaf, peas, cauliflower, and spinach), which is also available with chicken. Lunchtime choices include the addition of comfort foods, such as Artisan Sourdough Grilled-Cheese Sandwich and Soup (serrano ham, tomatoes, french fries, chunky tomatobasil soup), and a twist on a classic: SlowCooked Short Rib Pot Pie (marsala wine, peas, carrots, and cipollini onions, topped with a giant puffed-pastry lid). For dessert, the Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Bar can be a sweet ending to a fine meal. Rich chocolate cake is layered with a soft chocolate mousse, praline crunch, and bacon-hazelnut tuille in which pieces of Applewood smoked bacon give a subtle, salty balance to the sweetness. Another dessert great for sharing is the "over the top" Tres Leches. Traditional "three milk"-soaked sponge cake has baked pistachio meringue filled with caramel bananas and vanilla-bean ice cream. The spacious restaurant offers dining in several areas: a trendy bar/lounge; garden terrace with skylights and views of the park's greenery; expansive patio overlooking one of the park's lush valleys; and the main dining room filled with hand-crafted decor, Latin architecture, Spanish ceiling tiles; and glowing, romantic lighting in the evening. Reservations are highly recommended, especially for weekends and tourist seasons, when there are special events at the park, and days when The Old Globe Theatre holds performances. www.lajollalight.com LA JOLLA LIGHT - DECEMBER 29, 2011 - Page B5 Baccala Gumbadi Buchadadi FROM SIPS, B1 over ice and serve up.

This risk, however, is surprisingly low, and according to a recent U.S. Department of Agriculture study, of the 69 billion eggs produced annually in this country, a paltry 2.3 million are tainted. This translates to .003 percent of the egg supply or 1 in 30,000 eggs. So your chances of meeting up with a bad egg are once in every 42 years. Now, if you're a selfproclaimed germaphobe (like this Kitchen Shrink) and are still worried about getting salmonella from raw eggs, this miniscule risk decreases even more dramatically with the use of high quality, cage free, organic eggs. And if that doesn't give you Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman M y kids and I love eggnog. At the supermarket the other day when I was reaching for a carton, a fellow shopper warned me to avoid products containing raw eggs. Should I boycott eggnog altogether or are there safe alternatives? Eggnog has been the signature beverage of upper crust Brits since the 17th century when large estates had adjacent farms with an abundance of eggs and dairy. Pioneer smoothie makers whipped up concoctions with the milk, eggs, spices, and to spike up the drink and warm the cockles of the heart in the dank, depressing winters Remove from the heat, add the bourbon or rum and extract, and mix well. Chill in the refrigerator. Ladle into Method: eggnog or toddy glasses, and Beat the yolks in the bowl of garnish with freshly grated an electric mixer until lemony nutmeg and gingerbread snaps. added a splash of brandy, Madeira or sherry. Etymologists surmise the name originated from a carved wooden beer mug called a "noggin," typically used to serve alcoholic drinks. Eggnog has become a celebratory and seasonal winter beverage around the globe with various cultures and countries adapting the recipe. The Mexican version known as rompope has a heavy-handed sprinkling of Mexican cinnamon and rum, the Germans enjoy an eggnog soup with beer, while in Puerto Rico rum and coconut milk are the weapons of choice in their coquito/ eggnog. Whatever your eggnog druthers, make sure it has been prepared safely. As eggnog typically contains raw eggs, there is a risk of contracting salmonella a dose of comfort, then make sure your eggnog is made with pasteurized eggs. This process gently heats the eggs under controlled conditions to destroy microorganisms that could cause a food-borne illness. Fair warning -- although pasteurization does not eliminate microorganisms altogether, it greatly reduces the risks. If whipping up your own homemade eggnog, you can buy pasteurized eggs by the dozen or in liquid form. And always use your noggin when buying, handling and storing fresh eggs. Check the expiration date on the carton, and buy with a one-week or more leeway; discard cracked eggs and bloodshot ones, and always refrigerate. Above left, are two recipes for safe eggnog -- one uses cooked eggs, the other is a vegan version without eggs, that is also a good choice for the cholesterol-conscious or egg allergics. Cheers!

His wife, Biljana, is the director of the Prospect Street gallery in La Jolla that features work of contemporary artists, both international and local. In the last 25 years, Galeria JAN has traveled the world with the Berans -- to Belgrade, Rome, Vienna and Croatia. In 1994, it moved with the Berans to California and opened in La Jolla in 1996, where it has remained for the last 15 years. In celebration of the journey, Galeria JAN is showcasing work by Jan Beran in a retrospective titled, "Slow Train Coming." It opened on Nov. 25 and continues through Dec. 31. A decade in the making, Jan's artwork is influenced by his witness of the Bosnian War and the transition to American life after becoming a refugee in Croatia. "Jan is mixing past and future," Biljana explained, "they are histories." As a videographer, Jan has participated in more than 400 documentaries, covering Lebanon, Israel, Western Sahara, and the Bosnian War. During that time, he saw many beautiful works of art destroyed, which is why "he is interested in how one piece survives 3,000 years," Biljana said. Jan studied and practiced in Sarajevo, developing an interest in iconography that shows through the use of gold and silver leaf, rusted metal, and muted oils on wood, seen in "Knocking on Heaven's Door." His works also feature the faces of woman, as in "Inside Looking Out," which is a portrait of Biljana. Two of Jan's paintings are in the collection of the Sheikh of Dubai in Tel Aviv and many more are in collections around the world. Galeria JAN is the only gallery in the United States representing his work. During their time here, the Berans have made a lasting impression in town with the honesty in their art col- TCS-lj-light-ad.pdf 1 12/16/11 12:26 PM If you go What: Galeria JAN Where: 1250 Prospect St., Suite B21, La Jolla Contact: (858) 551-2053 Web: galeriajan.com er galleries and museums around the world. Her next exhibition at Galeria JAN will be in April 2012. "I will take care of San Diego artists," Biljana said. In 2012, she will feature American contemporary artists like Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana. She will also have works by Joze Ciuha (Slovania/France), Vladimir Velickovic (Serbia/France), Viacheslav Kalinin (Russia), Beck Guttin (Mexico/USA), Jan Beran (Bosnia/USA) and Prendergast (USA). Retirement isn't in the near future, but one day Biljana "would love to see my son take care of the gallery." He is currently 28. "For 25 years in business, I'd like to thank my husband and my son Bojan. In La Jolla, thank you a lot to my landlord, Mr. and Mrs. Considine, who are part of my family now after 15 years."

Failing at that (just couldn't figure out how to get our barbecue lighter wand in that itty bitty space), we simply ended up wrapping ourselves in our cabana cover. Looking out the windows in the mornings, one could see the joggers fairly shivering in their thin cotton T-shirts, and of course, all the open-air restaurants were in an absolute dither. (They didn't know how to turn on their heaters either.) Though it has warmed up since then, Sundays at the beach have simply had to be abandoned, and even poolside sunbathing is possible only a few hours a day. The ocean, of course, is much too cold to swim in now (but then, many of us think the Pacific is too cold in the summer, too). We've simply resigned ourselves to the Jacuzzi till spring. Rather than fight it, we have just decided to accept that winter is here and prepare for it. So last weekthe bougainvillea and nightblooming jasmine grow so fast that we were out there every spare minute trying to whack them back -- in February yet! Then, barely six months of perfect beach weather later and bam! -- it was winter again. In between the recent unseasonably cold temperatures, the Santa Anas blew in -- clear and beautiful days with spectacular sunsets to be sure, but totally hot and dry. We were forced to eat Thanksgiving dinner outside on our patio, barefoot no less! So friends, wherever you are -- Chicago or Boston, Stockholm or G�teborg -- take heart. Life here in San Diego is not always what it's cracked up to be. Meanwhile, Happy New Year and Gott Nytt �r from your friends in La Jolla, Inga and Olof Look for La Jolla resident Inga's lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light. Reach her by e-mail at email@example.com Let Inga tell you ... December, 2011 Dear American and Swedish friends, It is hard to believe that it is time for our annual holiday letter again. As I sit here at my computer on this chilly night snuggled in my warmest beach hoodie and sipping a hot mulled pi�a colada, I'd like to assure you that all those rumors about San Diego's terrific climate are totally unfounded. Indeed, if I had to sum up the year 2011, I would say that it has been one of terrible extremes of weather. Already winter has struck here with savage force. Several weeks ago, the temperature plummeted to a news-making 58 degrees, necessitating us to figure A tree branch slams a car after recent windstorms. end, with heavy hearts, we went around closing the windows. Of course, this winter can only be better than last. Many of you probably read in the papers earlier this year about the absolutely torrential rains San Diego suffered -- eight record-breaking inches for the year, a staggering three-quarters of an inch above normal. Bike paths were muddied, tennis courts rendered unusable with puddles, and lemons torn from their branches by winds gusting to 12 miles per hour. Residents raced to get their patio umbrellas cranked down in time. The worst of it, however, was that all the rain made VOTED BEST PLASTIC SURGEON AND BEST SPA We believe that positive outcome SDVI uses state-of-the-art techniques for treatment of vein problems, which include unsightly hand and temple veins, varicose veins and the most advanced forms of venous insufficiency.

It's the best place to live in San Diego, and the opportunity to run the Padres. What makes this area special to you? Fabulous aesthetics and understated people; it's not a glitzy community. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I wish every La Jolla resident had an ocean view -- and also that all residents could be season ticket holders of the Padres. Who or what inspires you? The World Series inspires me annually. I was at game 6 in St. Louis this year (when the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Texas Rangers, forcing a seventh game). I had what was certainly the best baseball experience I've ever had. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom would you invite? The guest list would include Willie Mays, John F. Kennedy, Colin Powell, John Wooden, Lou Gehrig, Leland Stanford and Warren Buffett. What are your five favorite movies of all time? "Heaven Can Wait," "Polar Express," "The Sound of Music," "American Graffiti," and "Jerry Maguire." What is your most-prized possession? My relationship with each of my three sons: Justin, Christopher and Blake. What do you do for fun? Explore new restaurants, travel the world, and spend quality time with my kids. Describe your greatest accomplishment? Living out my dream of a 30-year career in sports. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Listen carefully and don't be afraid to be the last person in the room to speak.
