For some of the most challenged stu-
dents in East Palo Alto, the best part of
their day is closing their eyes and turn-
ing in to themselves.
Quiet Time, created by the Center for
Wellness and Achievement in
Education, is a semester-long pilot
program at Sequoia Community Day
School Green Street Academy that
focuses on meditation for stress reduc-
tion. Funded with $35,000 as part of
the Sequoia Healthcare Districts
Healthy Schools Initiative grant and
matching funds from the district. Of
that amount, $22,000 went to medita-
tion training and the presence of a
trainer from the wellness group while
$12,500 was for the three psychother-
apists to be there twice a week for ther-
apy sessions. Twice a day for 18 min-
utes, the students, who are have been
incarcerated and, or, expelled from
schools in the Sequoia Union High
School District, are led in a non-reli-
gious transcendental meditation by
trained teachers. Students sit, close
their eyes and allow themselves to
have their attention travel naturally to
a less active, quieter style of mental
functioning.
Theres no way they would close
their eyes before [Quiet Time], said
Karen Li, wellness coordinator for the
school district. In their world, you

Man who killed son
for insurance sentenced
WATERLOO, N.Y. A 53-year-old
upstate New York man who killed his
son for the insurance money has been
sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.
Karl Karlsen was sentenced Monday
afternoon after pleading guilty in
November to a charge of second-degree
murder in the death of 23-year-old Levi
Karlsen.
Prosecutors said Karlsen killed his
son in 2008 by shifting a truck off its
jacks as the younger man worked
underneath on the familys Finger
Lakes property in Romulus.
Karlsen was the sole beneciary of
Levis insurance policy and received
$700,000 in the settlement.
Investigators in Calaveras County
have also been reviewing the 1991
death of Karlsens former wife,
Christina Karlsen, in a re.
Flights delayed,
canceled at San Jose airport
SAN JOSE Flights at Mineta San
Jose International Airport have been
delayed and canceled after a pipe burst
and ooded parts of a terminal.
Airport spokeswoman Rosemary
Barnes says a hot water line ruptured in
Terminal Aaround 2:15 a.m. Monday.
Water ooded the baggage claim and
security areas, forcing ofcials to shut
them down. Passengers were being
checked in at airline counters before
being taken to Terminal B on shuttle
buses for security screening.
Barnes said one checkpoint lane at
the terminal reopened by 8:50 a.m.,
but screening was limited.
The ooding caused several ight
delays and a few cancellations. The ter-
minal serves carriers, including
American, Delta, JetBlue, United, U.S.
Airways, Virgin American and Volaris.
The cause of the rupture was under
investigation.
Girl is brain dead after
surgery to remove tonsils
OAKLAND A 13-year-old
Northern California girl is brain dead
after going into surgery to remove her
tonsils.
KGO-TV reported Sunday that Jahi
McMaths family is demanding
Oakland Childrens Hospital conduct
an investigation after she went into
cardiac arrest and died, before being
brought back by hospital staff. Jahi is
brain dead and on life support.
Doctors said the surgery would help
with Jahis sleep apnea, but there were
complications during her recovery last
week. Her mother Nailah Winkfield
said Jahi had actual clots sliding out
of her mouth, which her mother was
told to catch in a cup for hospital staff
to measure.
A hospital spokeswoman said in a
statement that any surgery is risky and
that the hospital would investigate
what happened. She didnt provide
details on the surgery.
Stores have free rein
to recoup shoplifting losses
NEW YORK Outside the view of
paying customers, people accused of
shoplifting at Macys huge agship
store are escorted by security guards to
cells in Room 140, where they can
be held for hours, asked to sign an
admission of guilt and pay hundreds in
nes, sometimes without any conclu-
sive proof they stole anything.
As shoppers jam stores ahead of the
December holidays, claims of racial
proling at department stores in New
York have helped expose the wide lati-
tude that laws in at least 27 states give
retailers to hold and ne shoplifting
suspects, even if a person hasnt yet
technically stolen anything, is wrong-
ly accused or criminal charges are
dropped.
You must remember, these people
are not police ofcers; they are store
employees, said Faruk Usar, the attor-
ney for a 62-year-old Turkish woman
who sued Macys, which some cus-
tomers say bullied them into paying
nes on the spot or harassed them with
letters demanding payment. When
they are detained, they are not yet even
in a real jail.
Industrywide, more than $12 billion
is lost to shoplifting each year. The
laws, which vary on strictness and ne
amounts, allow stores to try to recoup
some losses.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The former nance director of a Menlo
Park seminary and university and her secre-
tary will stand trial in April for allegedly
taking more than $200,000 and stealing a
donated Mercedes Benz.
Jennifer Margaret Morris, 58, is charged
with four counts of felony embezzlement.
Her former secretary, Evelyn D. Vallacqua,
45, is charged with three embezzlement
counts for allegedly helping issue several
improper reimbursement checks to her boss
and accepted unauthorized severance pay-
ments from St. Patricks Seminary and
University.
Both women pleaded not guilty to all
charges and were sched-
uled for trial April 7.
The seminary launched
an audit after learning
Morris used her personal
credit card for reimbursed
work purchases to accu-
mulate airline miles. The
audit reportedly uncov-
ered that, between
October 2006 and 2012,
Morris made $166,000 worth of unautho-
rized personal purchases for which she also
reimbursed herself from seminary funds and
overpaid herself at least $36,000 from 2011
to 2012.
Prosecutors also claim
Morris stole a donated
1982 Mercedes Benz by
registering the vehicle in
her name and chargi ng
the registration and main-
tenance costs back to the
seminary.
Vallacqua is accused of
helping Morris with the
reimbursement and also
received severance pay-
ments although she never left the semi-
narys employment.
Morris is free from custody on a $200,000
bail bond while Vallacqua is free on
$10,000.

BIG SUR A wildfire burning Monday
in the Big Sur area of California destroyed
at least 15 homes and forced about 100
people to evacuate as it chewed through
dry vegetation on its way toward the
ocean. No injuries were reported.
The fire burned about 500 acres in the
Pfeiffer Ridge area of Los Padres National
Forest near state Highway 1, Los Padres
National Forest spokesman Andrew
Madsen said.
Madsen said the fire destroyed the home
of Big Sur Fire Chief Martha Karstens.
Officials were hopeful that they could con-
tain the blaze within the next couple of
days.
The Red Cross has set up an overnight
shelter for people who have been dis-
placed by the fire, Madsen said.
Big Sur is a popular tourist destination
along the Central California coast with
high-end resorts and beautiful views of the
Pacific Ocean.
Residences were scattered in the path of
the fire that was being battled by 300 fire-
fighters. Officials also brought in air
tankers and helicopters.
The cause of the fire was under investiga-
t i on.
A wildfire so late in the year is unusual
but not surprising given that California is
in the midst of the driest calendar year on
record.
A lightning-sparked wildfire in 2008
forced the evacuation of Big Sur and black-
ened 250 square miles before it was con-
tained. That blaze burned more than a
dozen homes.

KATHERINE A. MCMILLAN
Katherine A. McMillan died peacefully surrounded by her
children, on Tuesday, December 10. She was 89 years old.
Born in Worcester, MA, Katherine was the last of nine
children born to Irish immigrants, John Patrick Trumble
and Margaret Kearns Trumble. She graduated from
Sacred Heart Academy as the valedictorian of her class.
Dedicating her life to others, Katherine attended Saint
Vincent School of Nursing and nished her training as a
registered nurse as an ensign in the United States Navy.
Over the course of her marriage to Robert Neal
McMillan they had three children. Moving to Redwood
City in 1956, Katherine began a 30-year career at
Sequoia Community Hospital. She had a great respect
for her profession and infused those with whom she
worked with the same pride and dedication.
After retirement from Sequoia, she went on to establish
the day care center at St. Pius Church, where over a
ten-year period she cared for hundreds of children who
learned to use words like bubbler and pocket book.
Her devotion to her faith was a constant in her life. She
gave tirelessly to the St. Pius Parish where she made
many life-long friends.
Continuing her service to others, Katherine was
appointed to the Health Plan of San Mateo County, working to improve access to quality
health care for the needy. A proud Redwood City resident she had many good times with the
Fun After Fifty group before moving to San Carlos where she enjoyed senior living at The Elms.
She was affectionately known as Mrs. Mac, but she was most proud of becoming Mama,
the moniker her grandsons bestowed on her. All her boys attended Junipero Serra High
School where she was embraced and loved. She was the rst woman to receive the Serra
In Via award, given to a non-alumnus who exemplies a true dedication to the service of
others. She was also delighted to be crowned the rst and only homecoming queen at
Serra. She spent hours crocheting yellow and blue scarves worn by many Serra fans. She
loved sitting in the stands cheering on her grandsons Sean and Kenny. She was a rabid
sports fan who loved the Red Sox, Patriots, 49ers and the SF Giants. She was a strong
woman, proud of her Irish heritage, and possessed of a sly wit and a deep faith.
She is survived by her daughters Katherine (Kate Marie), Mary, her son Bobby (Julie), and her
beloved grandsons, Sean and Kenny. The family would like to thank the wonderful care their
mother received from Kaiser Hospice and from Roxan Bartolo her compassionate care giver.
A mass will be held at St. Pius Church at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, December 17, with a
reception to follow in the Fitzsimmons Center at the church. In lieu of owers, the family
requests that donations be made in Katherines memory to the Junipero Serra High School
Padre Annual Fund or to the St. Pius Childrens Center.

infrastructure, California Gov. Jerry Brown
said Monday.
People were calling it a failed state,
Brown said. But the fact is, from a $27 bil-
lion decit we now have a very signicant
surplus that can continue for many years to
come.
Brown was interviewed by James Bennet,
editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, before an
audience of about 100 technology business
leaders at a Silicon Valley summit focusing
on innovation.
Brown noted that the Silicon Valley was a
source of innovation and revitalization for
California.
This is still a very yeasty place, he said,
drawing laughs. Far from decline were in a
very creative stage of our national history.
Brown warned that the largest pitfall is
the fact that small special-interest groups
can interfere with efforts for broader nation-
al change.
Brown says state on
track, future bright
By Paul Elias
SAN JOSE A state judge on Monday
ordered paint companies to pay 10
California cities and counties $1.1 billion
to remove lead from millions of older
homes.
Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge
James Kleinberg found that Conagra
Grocery Products Co., NL Industries Inc.
and the Sherwin-Williams Co. marketed
paint they knew was harmful to children.
Atlantic Richfield Co. and DuPont Co.
were found not liable.
The industry has faced similar lawsuits
across the country but has won most of
them.
Kleinbergs verdict came after a five-
week trial without a jury. The companies
have 15 days to object to the tentative rul-
ing, which the judge can alter.
There is a clear and present danger that
needs to be addressed, Kleinberg wrote in
his 110-page decision. The defendants
sold lead paint with actual and constructive
knowledge that it was harmful.
Lead-based paints were barred from the
U.S. market in 1978, but millions of
homes painted before then still pose a
health risk.
The industry argued that it never deliber-
ately sold a harmful product and that the
old paint is no longer a significant public
health risk. The companies argued that
children diagnosed with lead poisoning
could have gotten sick from sources other
than paint.
The existence of other sources of lead
exposure has no bearing on whether lead
paint constitutes a public nuisance,
Kleinberg wrote in todays opinion. It
does not change the fact that lead paint is
the primary source of lead poisoning for
children in the jurisdictions who live in
pre-1978 housing.
Bonnie Campbell, a spokeswoman for
the companies, said the paint manufactur-
ers will urge the judge to overturn his deci-
sion. Failing that, she said the companies
will seek a mistrial. If the judge upholds
his verdict, Campbell said the companies
will appeal.
Campbell said the verdict unfairly penal-
izes companies for marketing lead-based
paint in good faith before the health risks
were known. She said the current owners of
pre-1978 painted homes should be respon-
sible for removing the lead.
The decision rewards scofflaw landlords
who are responsible for the risk to chil-
dren from poorly maintained lead paint,
and it conflicts with and threatens to upend
Californias lead poisoning prevention
programs, which work, Campbell said.
This decision is more likely to hurt chil-
dren than help them, and it will likely dis-
rupt the sale, rental and market value of all
homes and apartments built before 1978.
Exposure to lead is linked to learning
disabilities and other health problems,
especially in children. Some 60,000 chil-
dren under the age of 6 suffered from lead
poisoning between 2007 and 2010 alone
in the jurisdictions who filed the lawsuit,
the judge noted.
Data from the 2010 census show that
close to 5 million homes at issue in the
lawsuit were built before lead paint was
banned in 1978. Homes built before then
are presumed to have been painted with
lead paint.
The case has taken 13 years to reach trial
because of objections from the industry,
but appeals courts have allowed it to pro-
ceed. It alleges the manufacturers knew of
lead-paint dangers starting in the 1890s
but still sold it to consumers without
health warnings.
The ten cities and counties awarded dam-
ages Monday are the counties of Santa
Clara, Alameda, Los Angeles, Monterey,
San Mateo, Solano, and Ventura, and the
cities of Oakland, San Diego and San
Francisco.
Judge: Paint companies to
pay state, cities $1.1 billion

Feds grant Navy
permit for sonar
training in Pacific
By Julie Watson
SAN DIEGO Environmental organizations led a law-
suit Monday against the National Marine Fisheries Service
to demand it force the Navy to consider alternatives to its
ve-year plan that will intensify its sonar use off Southern
California and Hawaii.
Earthjustice, representing several groups, led the lawsuit
in federal court in Honolulu, only hours after the federal
agency announced it had decided to grant the Navy permits
to move ahead with its plans for training and testing in the
Pacic.
Navy ofcials estimate its activities would have a negli-
gible impact on marine mammal populations.
Environmentalists dispute that and favor creating zones
that would be off-limits to biologically sensitive areas.
They also want the Navy to avoid training in certain spots
seasonally when they are rich in marine life.
The science is clear: sonar and live-re training in the
ocean harms marine mammals, said Marsha Green of Ocean
Mammal Institute, which is among the groups suing. There
are safer ways to conduct Navy exercises that include time
and place restrictions to avoid areas known to be vital for
marine mammals feeding, breeding and resting.
The Navy estimates that its activities could inadvertently
kill 186 whales and dolphins off the East Coast and 155 off
Hawaii and Southern California, mostly from explosives.
It calculates more than 11,000 serious injuries off the East
Coast and 2,000 off Hawaii and Southern California, along
with nearly 2 million minor injuries, such as temporary
hearing loss, off each coast. It also predicts marine mam-
mals might change their behavior such as swimming in a
different direction in 27 million instances.
NMFS granted the permits for the Atlantic and Gulf of
Mexico last month. The Pacic permit was the nal one.
Environmentalists won a small victory in September
when a federal judge ruled the marine sheries agency did not
consider the latest science when it granted permits last year.
In Mondays ruling, the agency said it will review the lat-
est scientic data yearly with the Navy to determine if
enough is being done to mitigate the risks.
The Navy is committed to complying with environmen-
tal laws and protecting the environment, Navy spokesman
Kenneth Hess said when asked about the lawsuit.
Reported mass strandings of beaked whales have
increased around the world since the military started using
sonar more than half a century ago. The sounds can scare
animals into shallow waters where they can become disori-
ented and wash ashore.
Aside from beachings, biologists are concerned about
prolonged stress from changes in diving, feeding and com-
munication habits. Only in the past decade have scientists
had the technology to closely monitor the behavior of
whales and dolphins.

WASHINGTON In a ruling with poten-
tially far-reaching consequences, a federal
judge declared Monday that the National
Security Agencys bulk collection of mil-
lions of Americans telephone records like-
ly violates the U.S. Constitutions ban on
unreasonable search. The ruling, lled with
blistering criticism of the Obama adminis-
trations arguments, is the rst of its kind
on the controversial program.
Even if NSAs metadata collection of
records should pass constitutional muster,
the judge said, there is little evidence it has
ever prevented a terrorist attack. The collec-
tion program was disclosed by former NSA
systems analyst Edward Snowden, provok-
ing a heated national and international
debate.
U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon
granted a preliminary injunction against the
collecting of the phone records of two men
who had challenged the program and said
any such records for the men should be
destroyed. But he put enforcement of that
decision on hold pending a near-certain
government appeal, which may well end up
at the Supreme Court.
The injunction applies only to the two
individual plaintiffs, but the ruling is likely
to open the door to much broader challenges
to the records collection and storage.
The plaintiffs are Larry Klayman, a con-
servative lawyer, and Charles Strange, who
is the father of a cryptologist technician
who was killed in Afghanistan when his hel-
icopter was shot down in 2011. The son
worked for the NSA and support personnel
for Navy SEAL Team VI.
Leon, an appointee of President George
W. Bush, ruled that the two men have a sub-
stantial likelihood of showing that their
privacy interests outweigh the govern-
ments interest in collecting the data and
therefore the NSAs bulk collection program
is indeed an unreasonable search under the
Constitutions Fourth Amendment.
I have little doubt that the author of our
Constitution, James Madison, who cau-
tioned us to beware the abridgment of free-
dom of the people by gradual and silent
encroachments by those in power, would be
aghast, he declared.
In addition to civil liberties critics, big
communications companies are unhappy
with the NSA program, concerned about a
loss of business from major clients who are
worried about government snooping.
President Barack Obama will meet Tuesday
with executives from leading technology
companies. The meeting was previously
scheduled, but the NSAprogram is sure to be
on the agenda, and now the court ruling will
be in the mix.
After the ruling, Andrew C. Ames, a
spokesman for the Justice Departments
National Security Division, said in a state-
ment, Weve seen the opinion and are
studying it. We believe the program is con-
stitutional as previous judges have found.
We have no further comment at this time.
Snowden, in a statement provided to
reporter Glenn Greenwald and obtained by
the Associated Press, said, I acted on my
belief that the NSAs mass surveillance pro-
grams would not withstand a constitutional
challenge and that the American public
deserved a chance to see these issues deter-
mined by open courts. Today, a secret pro-
gram authorized by a secret court was, when
exposed to the light of day, found to violate
Americans rights. It is the rst of many.
Klayman said in a telephone interview
that it was a big day for the country.
Obviously its a great ruling and a correct
ruling, and the rst time that in a long time
that a court has stepped in to prevent the
tyranny of the other two branches of gov-
ernment, he said.
The Obama administration has defended
the program as a crucial tool against terror-
ism.
But in his 68-page, heavily footnoted
opinion, Leon concluded that the govern-
ment didnt cite a single instance in which
the program actually stopped an imminent
terrorist attack.
I have serious doubts about the efcacy
of the metadata collection program as a
means of conducting time-sensitive investi-
gations in cases involving imminent
threats of terrorism, he added.
He said was staying his ruling pending
appeal in light of the signicant national
security interests at stake in this case and
the novelty of the constitutional issues.
The government has argued that under a
1979 Supreme Court ruling, Smith v.
Maryland, no one has an expectation of pri-
vacy in the telephone data that phone com-
panies keep as business records. In that rul-
ing, the high court rejected the claim that
police need a warrant to obtain such records.
But Leon said that was a far cry from the
issue in this case. The question, he said, is,
When do present-day circumstances the
evolutions in the governments surveil-
lance capabilities, citizens phone habits,
and the relationship between the NSA and
telecom companies become so thorough-
ly unlike those considered by the Supreme
Court 34 years ago that a precedent like
Smith simply does not apply? The answer,
unfortunately for the government, is now.
He wrote that the court in 1979 couldnt
have imagined how people interact with
their phones nowadays, citing the explo-
sion of cellphones. In addition, he said, the
Smith case involved a search of just a few
days, while there is the very real prospect
that the (NSA) program will go on for as
long as America is combatting terrorism,
which realistically could be forever!
Leon added: The almost-Orwellian tech-
nology that enables the government to
store and analyze the phone metadata of
every telephone user in the United States is
unlike anything that could have been con-
ceived of in 1979.
The judge also mocked the governments
contention that it would be burdensome to
comply with any court order that requires the
NSA to remove the plaintiffs from its data-
base.
Mega Millions jackpot
climbs to $586 million
DES MOINES, Iowa The Mega Millions
jackpot inched toward a U.S. lottery record
Monday as it soared to $586 million amid a
frenzy of ticket purchases, raising the possi-
bility that the prize could pass the once-
unthinkable $1 billion mark by Christmas
Eve should nobody win before then.
Paula Otto, executive director of the
Virginia Lottery and lead director for Mega
Millions, said ticket sales are ahead of pro-
jections for Tuesdays drawing, increasing
the likelihood it could shatter the current
record of $656 million, set in a March 2012
Mega Millions drawing.
That was enough for Drew Gentsch to buy
one ticket Monday morning. The attorney
from Des Moines never plays, but the bal-
looning jackpot was too good to pass up.
I think its ridiculous but you have to
dream big, he said. The odds of winning are
so low, theres no real reason to play. But its
fun to do so once in a while.
The large Mega Millions prize is the prod-
uct of a major game revamp in October that
dramatically lowered the odds of winning the
jackpot. If a winner isnt selected Tuesday
night and it rolls over past the next drawing
scheduled Friday night, Otto predicts the
jackpot will reach $1 billion an unheard of
amount for Mega Millions or Powerball, the
nations two main lottery games.
No suspicious devices
found at Harvard after email
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Four buildings on
Harvard Universitys campus were evacuated
Monday after police received an email claim-
ing that explosive devices may have been
hidden inside, but after hours of searches and
disruptions to nal exams, no suspicious
devices were found.
The buildings were evacuated and access to
Harvard Yard was restricted after the email was
received at about 8:40 a.m. Monday, shortly
before students were set to begin nal exams.
Investigators from several agencies
searched the buildings for hours and cleared
students to return to all four by mid-after-
noon. One of the buildings was a freshman
dormitory; classes are held in the other three.
In a statement to the Harvard community,
Harvard Executive Vice President Katie Lapp
said that the buildings were evacuated out of
an abundance of caution and that activities
at the Ivy League school in Cambridge were
returning to normal.

Community Day School students atti-
tudes toward the program have changed
since it rst began. An independent lm
crew even came by during the morning ses-
sion to record the process. The meditation
is encouraged, but not considered mandato-
ry. Principal R. Marshall Burgamy said ini-
tially students were concerned it wouldnt t
their street personas.
I thought it was weird and funny, said
one student following a meditation ses-
sion. I didnt take it seriously. It helped me
with my problems at home and controlling
my anger.
Data backs up the student improvement,
Sequoia administrators say. According to
data from Center for Wellness and
Achievement in Education, the number of
suspensions was cut in half from 13 per 100
students in 2006-07 to six per 100 students
in 2010-11 at San Franciscos Visitacion
Valley Middle School over a ve-year peri-
od. Truancy rates, dened as having more
than three unexcused absences or being
tardy more than three times per year, have
dropped by 61 percent, from 18 percent of
students in 2006-07 to just 7 percent in
2010-11.
Results of the Quiet Time program in
Oakland and San Francisco include
improved school-wide grade point average,
increased attendance, decreased suspen-
sions and school violence, reduced student
anxiety and psychological distress,
increased self-esteem, higher standardized
test scores, decreased burnout and stress in
teachers and administrators, increased emo-
tional intelligence and increased coping
ability in adults.
Another Community Day School student
said it also helped him control his anger at
home.
At home I used to blow up quick, he
said. Im more calm now and my reaction
to situations is different.
Meditation is my medicine, said one,
while another said he feels better since the
meditation and no longer comes to school
with an attitude. One put a hood on and
pulled his hair in front of his face as a cur-
tain of space, said Li.
Burgamy, who is stepping down when the
semester ends, said as a former military
member and Type A personality, he never
expected he could do this meditation him-
self.
It allows for more resiliency and exi-
bility both mentally and physically, he
said. Students have told me its a time to be
free outside of struggles with their family
and friends. Its an important thing to be
working on their emotional intellect.
Teacher Jason Kinser said he just didnt
think this would work as well as it did.
There are about 30 students, all of color
and lower socioeconomic backgrounds,
enrolled in the Community Day School that
focuses on helping transition students back
into the district. Now, 19 are eligible for
readmission into regular district schools,
such as Redwood High School, in January
2014. The number of students in the pro-
gram has been reduced signicantly, as the
number of expulsions has decreased from
125 students in the 2008-09 school year to
just 36 students in the 2012-13 school
year. About 10 to 12 students will need to
continue to serve their expulsion terms in
January 2014; these students will be trans-
ferred to Gateway, a San Mateo County
Community School. The success of the
comprehensive high schools in retaining
students has eradicated the need for the dis-
trict to run its own program, according to a
staff report.
Weve put ourselves out of business in a
positive way, Burgamy said. Attendance
is up, discipline is down, theres been no
suspensions since it started, grades are up
and self-reported attitudes are up.
Pamela Kurtzman, director of grants and
programs for the Sequoia Healthcare
District, said she would like to see more
funding from the school district or another
source go to Redwood High School or
another school in the district. She would
also like to be able to follow the students
from Community Day Schools progress.
At rst, she said Quiet Time sounded a little
hokie pokie to her, but the kids really seem
to love it and are beneting from it.
The research was really intriguing, she
said. We were looking for something
unique that might make a difference. There
is real promise for having something like
this as an elective for most comprehensive
schools. Its still a little early to make any
decisions. We have a really tight budget and
our annual expenses are pretty tight.
Noah Schechtman, director of school pro-
grams for the Center for Wellness and
Achievement in Education, said Quiet Time
has many practical uses.
For a student that is coming to school
with a very high stress level having that
kind of support and education you could see
it as a prerequisite to learn effectively, he
said. It can sound like a luxury, but it sup-
ports social and emotional learning and is a
stress management technique.
Those involved in the program would like
to see it in a variety of schools.
Were nding stress is not unique to low-
income populations, Schechtman said.
Theres different kinds of stress; be it pres-
sure to get into Stanford (University) or to
commit crime.
School district staff will bring recom-
mendations for proposed utilization of the
Green Street site in East Palo Alto at a future
board meeting. The Quiet Time program at
the school wraps up at the end of this
semester.

QUIET
Avenue, lied to other school parents about
the circumstances after a state agency man-
dated she alert them and acted as though
police ofcers doing follow-up investiga-
tion were simply there for career day.
The letter makes it sound like it was once
and only two kids playing doctor. Thats not
what happened, said the girls mom, identi-
ed as Jane Roe to protect her daughters
identity.
The girl, who had been enrolled at Happy
Hall School since 2010, left 30 days shy of
the 2012 school year end because of inci-
dents and is still processing what happened
with the boy and the school, Roe said.
Roe said she was driving with her daughter
when the girl shared that in April 2012 a
boy in her class had taken off her clothes
and touched her inappropriately.
My jaw dropped, she said.
The parents also learned the girl allegedly
had the same thing happen numerous times
previously in several on-campus locations
like a play yard tunnel and log cabin, behind
a cupboard door and under a table when the
children were unsupervised.
Roe said she told Johnson in a tearful
meeting and was shocked that the owner did-
nt seem to understand her responsibility as
a mandated reporter. Johnson refused to
remove the boy from the school or the girls
play group and instead argued it was not
always in the families best interest to get
the authorities involved. The suit also
claims Johnson had the gall to jokingly
tell the mother to be sure to invite her to
the [kids] wedding.
I was just oored. I couldnt believe it
because she was certainly not reacting to
this the way I was, that this was a viola-
tion, Roe said.
On April 27, the California Department of
Social Services validated claims the girls
personal rights were violated by lack of
supervision and issued a written investiga-
tive report including recommendations like
that staff remind children about inappropri-
ate behavior and send parents a letter.
The April 30 letter from Johnson said a
family reported their child being touched
but did not specify how many times. The let-
ter also said the parents met with a pediatri-
cian and therapist who recommended the
girl remain at the school.
Roe took issue with both.
It makes it sound like this was two kids
playing doctor. It was not, Roe said. And
her therapist specically said she should
not go back to the school if the boy is
there.
Following the state investigation, the
school repositioned some of its equipment
so that it could see the students at all times.
Roe and her husband pulled the girl out of
the school about a month shy of the school
year but Johnson did not refund any of the
$1,100 monthly tuition, the suit stated.
The girl couldnt say goodbye to her
friend and teachers and birthday parties were
off limits because they didnt know if the
boy would be there, Roe said.
This past summer, Roe said her daughter
and the boy ended up at the same summer day
camp after which she reached out to his par-
ents about the earlier alleged incidents.
It was the rst they had heard of it, Roe
said.
Roe said she is frustrated and alarmed by
the situation not just for her own child but
out of concern for what issues might need
resolution on the boys behalf or other chil-
dren who might be put in similar circum-
stances.
Johnson was not available for comment.
The interim director returned an inquiry but
did not respond to questions about the law-
suit. Happy Hall was established in 1951
and serves children 18 months to sixth-
grade. Johnson began as executive director
in 1976 followed by owner in 1990, accord-
ing to the schools website.

OPINION 9
By Anna Eshoo,
Mike Honda and Zoe Lofgren
N
o one who lives on the
Peninsula and in the Santa
Clara Valley can question the
importance of open spaces and gor-
geous landscapes to our quality of
life, the water we drink, the air we
breathe and our very identity.
Preserving these treasured areas is
synonymous with life itself.
Over the last several decades, our
region has enjoyed astonishing eco-
nomic growth and has welcomed mil-
lions of new residents. Acreage that
may have once been used for dairy
farming is now home to advanced
manufacturers, innovative software
companies and clean energy startups.
This growth has been immensely
valuable to our economy and job cre-
ation, but it has not come without
challenges for maintaining open
spaces.
Thankfully, 40 years ago this year a
group of visionary citizen activists
recognized the potential of our
regions unprecedented growth and
development for better and worse.
They understood that action had to be
taken if our regions unspoiled lands
were to be preserved for future genera-
tions. With voter approval, they
established the Midpeninsula
Regional Open Space District and
began the work of preserving open
spaces for the benet of our communi-
ties. Twenty years later, the Santa
Clara County Open Space Authority
embraced a similar mission to protect
the valley and has been promoting
open space, environmental preserva-
tion and public recreation ever since.
Through the
explosion of
growth in the
1970s and 80s, a
tech revolution that
transformed the
local economy and
our community
identity in the
90s, and the Great
Recession of the
last decade, Midpen
and the authority
have worked tire-
lessly to protect
open spaces. Both
districts have lever-
aged modest fund-
ing to bring in mil-
lions more in pri-
vate, state and fed-
eral dollars, allow-
ing them to pur-
chase open space
and preserve it.
Together, they now
protect more than
78,000 acres in two
counties, and they
keep working to add more as opportu-
nities arise. Their work has also
helped farmers and ranchers carry on a
proud local heritage of agriculture.
But Midpen and the authority con-
tinually face new challenges that
require a recommitment to their cause.
Pollution continues to threaten our
air, water and land, and the ever-pres-
ent danger of major wildres has been
exacerbated by years of budget cuts to
re prevention services. Both must
confront these challenges and plan
for the coming decades. Success
requires a clear vision, a specic plan,
adequate funding and, most important,
the support and involvement of the
public. Everyone is impacted.
Its important to celebrate the
remarkable successes of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space
District and the Santa Clara Valley
Open Space Authority and what their
work has contributed to our regions
health, environment and quality of
life. But we must also use this occa-
sion as a call to action. We fully sup-
port both districts as they continue to
protect open spaces and serve our res-
idents for another 40 years. And we
urge all residents to visit our regions
wonderful open spaces, breathe in the
clean air and take in the awesome
beauty they offer.
Join us in celebrating the fore-
sight of those citizen activists from
40 years ago and the organizations
that have carried out their vision
which distinguishes our region as one
of the most naturally beautiful metro-
politan regions in the world, as well
as a place that embraces the values of
preserving and protecting lands for
generations to come.

W
hat does it say about the
state of Russia today
when the official state
news agency is dissolved to make
way for another that presumably will
toady up more reliably to President
Vladimir Putin?
RIA Novosti, which had acquired a
certain credibility for fact-based
reporting, must have been too credi-
ble and too serious for its govern-
ment sponsor.
So with a flick of his pen, Putin
dissolved RIA Novosti and
announced the creation of Rossiya
Segodnya (Russia Today) to be head-
ed by former news anchor Dmitry
Kiselyov, a Putin loyalist and unre-
pentant homophobe (who has made
public comments demanding homo-
sexuals be banned from donating
organs for transplants).
Reporting on its own demise, RIA
said in its English-language version
of Putins actions, The move is the
latest in a series of shifts in Russias
news landscape which appear to
point towards a tightening of state
control in the already heavily regu-
lated media sector.
Putins decree said the main focus
of Rossiya Segodnya is to high-
light abroad the state policy and
public life of the Russian
Federation.
Just what the world and Russia
needs more of: propaganda.
Russian media is already replete with
happy talk and trivia passing for
news. Its television programming
which remains influential in all
Russian-speaking elements of the
old Soviet Union, including Central
Asia gives new meaning to the
old term vast wasteland.
Is it any wonder that hundreds of
thousands of Ukrainians have taken
to the streets and tore down a
statue of Lenin last weekend to
protest the turn toward Moscow of
their own president? The old Soviet
handwriting is on the wall. But a
generation raised with new freedoms
and new ways of communicating
wants no part of it.
An American president who actual-
ly stood for American values would
hear their pleas and tell them they
still have a friend in the United
States.
Back to USSR
Deck the halls, and
maybe some others
T
is the season to deck the halls. Of course, as
with most holidays that turn falalalala into
sticuffs, the December holiday season also
seems to be a pretty good time to deck somebody else, or
at least think strongly about doing so. Blame the extra
brandy in the egg nog. Blame the elbowing mall crowds.
Blame St. Nick himself. Blame folks thinking the
biggest balls in the room arent those festooning the
Christmas tree. But regardless of which mischievous elf
is behind this years naughty list, seems for some revel-
ers the only yule log worth having is the one aimed at
somebody elses head.
Or maybe ones own.
In China, a 38-year-old
man leapt to his death at a
mall after his girlfriend
insisted they continue shop-
ping, according to pub-
lished reports. Supposedly
the couple had shopped for
ve hours before he leapt. Is
this shop till you drop or
just proof that retail therapy
isnt quite the same as a cou-
ples secession? All joking
aside, witnesses said the
man told the girlfriend
who was after yet another pair of shoes that she had
more than she could wear in a lifetime. She replied by
calling him cheap and accusing him of ruining
Christmas. Obviously. Eventually the man ended the spat
with a seven-story plummet.
The mall spokesman said, and I cant make this up this
level of dry understatement, This is a tragic incident but
this time of year can be very stressful for many people.
Stressful indeed.
What about the stress of putting on just the perfect
show?
South Carolina police were called to a home to break up
a ght between three female relatives ages 76, 61 and
24 who pushed and yelled over decorating the family
tree. Seems two of the ladies went to work on the tree
while the third went to actual work. Obviously a no-no.
She must have wanted a say on where to drape the gar-
land. At the end of the scufe, police said the family
made amends, that is after an ambulance was called
because the eldest of the ladies worried about her blood
pressure.
Those with rock-solid views on the winter holidays
have plenty to test the limits of their blood pressure
without family members bickering over the best tree top-
per. First theres Megyn Kelly insisting Santa is white
which will either annoy you for the narrow race view or
annoy you that the conversation is even news.
Then theres the new holiday stamps which includes
Kwanzaa and Hanukkah but somehow leaves out
Christmas. The contingent that gets angry at X-mas
and Happy Holidays and winter break probably just
blew a blood vessel. In the post ofces defense, the ad
for the stamps does show a gingerbread house along with
the Hanukkah candles and the open book of Kwanzaa but
there is no actual holiday named spelled out. Frankly,
what else did people think the gingerbread house repre-
sented Labor Day?
But if saying Merry Christmas is a key ingredient to
the holidays, head over to Texas where a Republican state
representative is sponsoring a measure removing legal
risks from exchanging holiday greetings in classes and
protects holiday symbols at school. The law also makes
it unconstitutional for schools to favor one religion over
the other and yet, interestingly, is named in the honor of
Christmas.
I guess when you send out that news, dont use a
postage stamp.
And then there are those who think the bit about the
holidays being merry and bright means a good old-fash-
ioned shiner. And by those I mean Santa.
Over the weekend, about eight men partying it up at a
New York SantaCon took the idea of Christmas spirits a
little too literally and ended up brawling with each other
in the snow. Then, they did what any good Santa would
do. They posted the footage on YouTube so that every-
body tired of stop motion animation Rudolph icks and
AChristmas Story can start a new holiday viewing ritu-
al.
Sadly for this bunch of St. Nicks, not to mention some
of these other pre-holiday bruisers, their celebrating
came a tad too early. Hold off until Dec. 26 and they can
at least claim to be actively observing Boxing Day.

Big movers
By Joshua Freed
Stocks raced higher after two down
weeks, as investors warmed up to the
idea that the economy is getting better.
Stocks have fallen lately after good
economic news as investors worried
that the Federal Reserve would think
its stimulus was no longer needed.
But Mondays gains, driven by two
corporate deals and a strong report on
manufacturing, suggested that
investors are focused more on growth
and less on the central banks
actions.
For a while, investors felt, Oh my
goodness, we wont be able to sur-
vive without Fed support. But people
are actually seeing that things really
are getting better, said Brad
McMillan, chief investment officer
for Commonwealth Financial.
The Fed meets for two days begin-
ning Tuesday, and officials could sig-
nal when the Fed will dial back the
stimulus that has helped boost the
stock market this year.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 129 points, or 0.8 percent, to
close at 15,884.57, after rising
almost 175 points in the morning.
The Standard & Poors 500 index rose
11 points, or 0.6 percent, to
1, 786. 54. The Nasdaq composite was
higher by 28 points, or 0.7 percent,
at 4,029.52.
The gains ended what had been a
four-day losing streak for the S&P
500 index, beginning the week on
the upbeat note after two down
weeks.
Two major deals caught investors
attention: Chipmaker Avago
Technologies is buying LSI Corp. for
$6.6 billion. Avago rose $4.45, or
10 percent, to $50.10, while LSI rose
$3.05, or 39 percent, to $10.96.
AIG is selling its aircraft leasing
business for about $5.4 billion to
Dutch leasing company AerCap. AIG
has been selling major assets after
getting a bailout during the financial
crisis. Its shares rose 55 cents, or 1
percent, to $50.28.
The Avago-LSI deal helped make
tech stocks the biggest gainers
among the 10 industries in the S&P
500. Others winners included com-
puter hard drive makers Western
Digital and Seagate, which benefited
from analyst upgrades.
Of those 10 industries, only con-
sumer staples fell.
Also Monday, the Federal Reserve
said factory production accelerated in
November as auto production surged.
The gains in manufacturing could
help boost economic growth.
Just last week, such positive
reports made investors nervous. They
feared the Fed would think the econo-
my was doing so well that its $85 bil-
lion in monthly bond-buying was no
longer needed.
The Fed will release a statement and
projections for the economy
Wednesday. Economists are almost
unanimous in believing the Fed will
not begin winding down its stimulus
program yet.
This years stock rally has been
fueled by that stimulus, higher corpo-
rate earnings, and a slow but steady
recovery in the U.S. economy. All of
the big indexes are up more than 20
percent.
Karyn Cavanaugh, market strate-
gist with ING U.S. Investment
Management, said she doesnt expect
such large returns next year maybe
more like 10 percent.
But thats actually good for
investor confidence, she said.
When they see these big huge num-
bers, I think they look at it with kind
of a jaded eye and think, Is that real-
ly sustainable? Maybe its already
run its course so I want to get out.
Energy stocks rose, led by Tesoro,
which runs refineries and gas sta-
tions. It was up $2.07, or 4 percent,
at $58.37. Exxon Mobil rose $1.91,
or 2 percent, to $97.22 after being
upgraded by Goldman Sachs.
Stocks rise on signs of stronger economy

SAN FRANCISCO Google may be
gearing up to build robots that resemble
props in science-ction movies as the
ambitious Internet company expands
into yet another technological frontier.
To gather the expertise and research it
needs, Google has purchased eight
companies that specialize in robotics
this year. The acquisitions are being
assembled into a new robotics division
headed by Andy Rubin, who oversaw
Googles development of Android, now
the worlds leading mobile operating
system.
Google Inc. added more pieces to its
growing toolbox of robotics late last
week with the purchase of Boston
Dynamics, a military contractor that
has raised intrigue by releasing videos
of its inventions in recent years. Those
inventions include a four-legged robot
capable of galloping past Olympian
sprinters and a jumping contraption
that can leap onto tall buildings.
Another video of a creepy-looking four-
footed machine has been watched more
than 15 million times since it was post-
ed on Googles YouTube site ve years
ago.
Besides designing animal-like
robots, Boston Dynamics also has
been working on humanoids as part of a
$10.8 million contract with the U.S.
governments Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency, or DARPA.
Boston Dynamics links to the U.S.
military has inspired comparisons of
its work with the ruthless cyborgs that
overthrew humans in the Terminator
movies. Founded in 1992 by former
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
professor Marc Raibert, Boston
Dynamics says it is dedicating to
changing your idea of what robots can
do.
Google confirmed the Boston
Dynamics purchase on Monday, but
declined to reveal any other informa-
tion, including the sales price.
Rubin, though, evidently views the
Waltham, Mass., companys technolo-
gy as a key to Googles robotics plans.
The future is looking awesome,
Rubin wrote about the acquisition in a
message posted on his Twitter account
late Friday, after news of the deal leaked
out.
Google deal adds to companys robotics toolbox
Obama to meet with
tech CEOs amid NSA concerns
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama will meet
Tuesday with executives from leading technology compa-
nies, including Google, Twitter and Apple.
The White House says the meeting will focus on efforts
to repair the Obama administrations HealthCare.gov
website and reforming government information technol-
ogy. Leaks related to National Security Agencys surveil-
lance programs are also on the agenda. Obama will also
discuss ways government and tech can partner to grow the
economy.
A number of the companies attending, including
Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Facebook, are urging
Obama to curb surveillance programs after the extent of
the information the U.S. collects through their systems
was revealed. Several companies are introducing more
encryption technology to shield users data from govern-
ment spies and other prying eyes.
CEOs from Netix, Comcast, LinkedIn, Etsy and AT&T
will also join Tuesdays session.
U.S. regulators sue online lender CashCall
WASHINGTON Federal regulators have sued online
lender CashCall Inc., its owner and two related compa-
nies, accusing them of collecting money that consumers
didnt owe.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau alleged in
its suit led Monday that CashCall made loans that vio-
lated licensing rules, interest-rate caps or both in at least
eight states.
The Anaheim-based company disputes the allegations
and plans to ght them in court. Through its lawyers,
CashCall says the CFPB exceeded its congressional man-
date by attempting to cap interest rates.
CashCall, its subsidiary WS Funding and collection
agency Delbert Services Corp. are owned by J. Paul
Reddam, a philosophy professor-turned-businessman
who gained fame last year when his horse, Ill Have
Another, won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness
Stakes.
Union to begin voting this week on UC contract
LOS ANGELES Voting is set to begin on a contract
for more than 12,000 researchers, technical employees
and health care professionals who work for the University
of California a deal one labor observer said Monday
could serve as a guidepost for other unions still trying to
hammer out agreements with the system.
The tentative deal on the four-year contract was recent-
ly reached between UC and negotiators for the University
Professional & Technical Employees union. The vote by
members is expected this week.
The agreement prevents the creation of a two-tiered
pension system that would have pushed back retirement
benets from age 60 to 65.

BEIJING Apple Inc. might have a
chance to pep up cooling iPhone sales
in China if it nally can reach a deal
with the worlds biggest phone carrier.
Once Chinas must-have gadget, the
iPhone has seen its explosive popular-
ity squeezed as the market lled with
lower-priced rivals from Samsung to
ambitious local brands. Some analysts
say anybody who wants an iPhone and
can afford it already has one.
That might change if Apple can gain
access to China Mobile Ltd.s network
and a new pool of potential customers.
After a yearslong courtship, there
are signs the two corporate giants
might finally be edging toward a
deal. The Wall Street Journal said it
could be announced as early as this
week, though China Mobile
spokespeople have said the compa-
nies were still talking.
On Monday, China Mobiles website
was taking orders for a mystery phone
called Ming Xing, or Bright Star. It
showed a handset silhouette like that
of an iPhone but gave no brand name.
The timing looks right. Just as
Apples sales growth in China cools,
China Mobile received approval Dec.
5 to start operating the worlds fourth-
generation network and needs to mar-
ket it.
Possible China deal could pep up iPhone sales
Y
ou shocked the world! That
how Sacred Heart Prep foot-
ball coach Pete Lavorato start-
ed his post-game meeting with his team
following the Gators stunning 42-7 win
over El Cerrito in the Northern California
Division III regional championship game
at De Anza High in Richmond Saturday
night, sending the Gators to the Southern
California for the
state championship
game.
And as Lavorato
would tell reporters
later, it was no uke.
The team no one had
heard of let alone
given a chance
dominated the North
Coast Sections best
the way it had all sea-
son: suffocating
defense and virtually
unstoppable offense.
While El Cerrito
featured a quartet of players already commit-
ted to Division I college programs, the
Gators featured a better team, which proved
to be the difference. Unlike the college or
pro level, a lesser-talented team can beat
teams known more for its individual talent
in high school for one simple reason,
which Lavorato explained.
Its not about Xs and Os, Lavorato said.
Its about execution.
The Gators out-executed the Gauchos in
every facet of the game, which is why I
gave SHP a shot to beat El Cerrito, one of
the few who did. No one, other than the
SHP team and Gator Nation, gave the small,
private school from Atherton much of a
chance to win. But the Gators had full faith
in their scheme and abilities. If nothing
else, the Gators were going to make sure
the Gauchos know they were in a game, win
or lose.
We said, We belong here. We saw an
undisciplined team and we thought we could
take them, said SHPs Ben Burr-Kirven

Sacred Heart Preps appearance in this
weekends Division III California
Interscholastic Federation State
Championship Bowl Game in Carson marks
the rst time in almost 90 years that a San
Mateo County prep football team has been
in this position.
The last county team to capture (or play
for) a state football title of any kind was San
Mateo High School way back in 1926.
Calvin Coolidge was president and a three-
bedroom house in Belmont would set you
back $5,000 that year.
The Bearcats of Coach Clifford Mitchell
won the Golden States prep football crown
by shutting out Covina of Southern
California, 20-0.
The game was played at what would soon
be Burlingame High Schools new facility
on Oak Grove Avenue. The Burlingame cam-
pus was still an annex of San Mateo in
1926. Burlingame became a separate school
during the 1927-28 academic year.
An estimated 9,000 fans managed to
shoehorn their way in to the Burlingame
eld to view the championship proceed-
ings, according to reports at the time.
In 1926, the Bearcats posted a 9-1-1 over-
all record, with only a 13-0 loss to Lick-
Wilmerding of San Francisco and a 7-7 tie

Miller likely out for year
By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Do-everything 49ers
fullback Bruce Miller is expected to miss
the remainder of the regular season and the
playoffs with a left shoulder blade injury
sustained during Sundays win at Tampa Bay.
It doesnt look good. It looks like he has
an injury to his scapula, coach Jim
Harbaugh said Monday. He does so many
things in the protection, in the run game,
receiving out of the back eld. He is a mul-
titalented, multi-use player. Special teams
contributor on two, three phases. Its a
loss.
While the 49ers have a pretty good idea
how long Miller will need to recover,
Harbaugh declined to say except for its
something hell heal from.
Former Stanford fullback Owen Marecic
was expected at team headquarters to under-
go a physical and conditioning test with the
intent of re-signing him to help ll the void
if all goes well during the visit. Marecic
spent a stint with the team from Sept. 17 to
Oct. 2.
Owen Marecics hopefully en route and
well look at our options, Harbaugh said.
The possibility of signing Owen Marecic,
Anthony Dixon (also could play fullback).
Then we could get creative with some other
guys on the team.
After Sundays 33-14 victory, Miller had a
tough time using the arm. He took a hard hit
from Buccaneers safety Keith Tandy after a
10-yard catch midway through the fourth
quarter.
Miller has been a key blocker for 1,000-
yard rusher Frank Gore, and has 25 catches
for 243 yards for the 49ers (10-4), who are
riding a four-game winning streak as they
prepare for next Monday nights game
against Atlanta in a rematch of the NFC
championship game and the finale at
Candlestick Park.
Third-year pro Millers job is among the
most crucial in the running game. Miller
worked to convert from college defensive
end to NFL fullback.

Ravens beat Lions
18-16 on Tuckers 6 eld goals
DETROIT Justin Tuckers career-long
61-yard field goal with 38 seconds left lift-
ed the Baltimore Ravens to an 18-16 win
over the Detroit Lions in a Monday night
matchup with major playoff implications.
Ravens rookie safety Matt Elam sealed
the victory with an interception
Matthew Staffords third of the night.
Stafford threw a 14-yard touchdown pass
to Joseph Fauria with 2:21 left, putting
Detroit ahead 16-15. But the Lions were
unable to make a 2-point conversion and
couldnt prevent Baltimore from setting up
its sensational kicker for his sixth field
goal of the game and 33rd in a row.
The defending Super Bowl champion
Ravens (8-6) are in control of an AFC wild
card following their fourth straight win.
Detroit (7-7) has hurt its playoff chances
by losing four of its last five.

STANFORD David Shaw has a message
for anybody who believes hes going to
leave Stanford for the NFL after this season:
no chance.
The Cardinal coach said
Monday night that the
growing mention of his
name for NFL jobs is
very attering.
He said he was bothered
by the speculation last
year but now its just a
testament to being a real-
ly good college football
program.
No matter what I say, the rumors arent
going to stop, Shaw said. It doesnt bother
me. Every good football program in the last
15 years, after two good years, the head
coach is going to be rumored to go some-
place else. I take it as a compliment.
Shaw was promoted from offensive coordi-
nator after Jim Harbaugh left for the San
Francisco 49ers in January 2011. While
Harbaugh built the foundation for the pro-
grams renaissance, Shaw has taken his alma
mater to even greater heights.
Shaw has led Stanford to a 34-6 record in
three seasons, going to three straight BCS
bowls and winning the past two Pac-12
titles. The fth-ranked Cardinal (11-2) will
go for their second straight Rose Bowl vic-
tory against No. 4 Michigan State (12-1) on
Jan. 1.
The day Shaw became Stanfords head
coach, he said he never wanted to interview
for another football job again. Asked if he
still felt that way, Shaw said: Absolutely.
I think when he says to the media that
hes found his dream job, hes one of the
coaches that I truly believe what hes say-
ing, senior safety Ed Reynolds said. Its
his alma mater. His dad (Willie Shaw)
coached here (as an assistant). Hes been
around this environment for so long. He
knows what hes getting and I think hes def-
initely in a spot where he feels comfortable
for him and his family.
Shaw agreed to what the school termed a
long-term contract extension after last sea-
son. Shaw has declined to discuss details of
his contract but has said repeatedly that he
wants his three young children to grow up
around Stanford.
Despite Shaws insistence on staying, his
background and success running pro-style
systems makes him a natural candidate for
NFL teams.
Shaw had been an assistant in the NFL for
Philadelphia, Oakland and Baltimore before
joining Harbaugh as an assistant at the
University of San Diego, then following him
to Stanford before the 2007 season.
Harbaughs success at the next level tak-
ing the 49ers to the NFC championship
game and the Super Bowl in his rst two sea-
sons has only generated more conversa-
tions about Shaws potential in the NFL.
Shaw won Pac-12 Coach of the Year honors
his rst two seasons. Arizona States Todd
Graham won the award this year, though
Shaws Cardinal routed the Sun Devils twice,
including in the Pac-12 championship game.
Stanford lost the Fiesta Bowl in an over-
time thriller to Oklahoma State in Shaws
rst season and Andrew Lucks last. Shaw
still led Stanford to its rst Rose Bowl win in
41 years when the Cardinal beat Wisconsin
without the schools record-setting quarter-
back last season.
All of 41 years old, Shaw has showed the
ability to bond with players in ways even
Harbaugh couldnt, understanding as he does
the intricacies of a rigorous academics uni-
versity that practically raised him: as a
coachs son, student, player, assistant
coach, husband and father he even pro-
posed to his wife, Kori, outside of Stanfords
Memorial Church.
When he started coaching, Shaw said he
set his sights on the NFL. After spending
time as an assistant in the pros, he said hes
happy at Stanford now.
Thats also just kind of how I am. If Im
going to start doing something, Im going
to see if I can be as good as I can be and go
as high as I can go, Shaw said.
So I thought about being a head coach. I
didnt necessarily set a plan for it. I know
growing up in this business you cant ever
plan to be a head coach. You either have the
opportunity or you dont. The opportunity
thankfully came my way here (at Stanford)
and its been great here ever since.
Shaw not interested in leaving Stanford for NFL

FRANKFURT, Germany Vitali
Klitschko is leaving boxing to concentrate
on Ukrainian politics and his role as an
opposition leader.
Klitschko vacated his WBC world heavy-
weight title on Monday and said he doesnt
expect to ght again as he pursues a presi-
dential bid in his home country, where citi-
zens have been protesting for weeks in Kiev
over President Viktor Yanukovychs deci-
sion to shun closer ties with the European
Union and push his country toward Russia.
The World Boxing Council proclaimed
Klitschko a Champion Emeritus, a move
that would allow him to challenge the new
champion directly should he wish to resume
his career.
This offer makes it theoretically possible
to return to the ring, which I cannot imagine
at all happening as things stand now,
Klitschko said in a statement. I am now con-
centrating on the politics in Ukraine, I feel
people need me there.
Klitschko is a lawmaker and chairman of
the opposition party Udar (Punch) and
intends to run for president in 2015.
Klitschko has taken an active part in the
rallies, urging his countrymen to continue
their ght to turn the ex-Soviet republic into
a genuine Western democracy.
This is not a revolution. It is a peaceful
protest that demands justice, Klitschko told
The Associated Press in an interview earlier
this month. The people are not defending
political interests. They are defending the
idea of living in a civilized country.
The 42-year-old Klitschko has a 45-2
record, with 41 KOs. His younger brother
Wladimir holds the other signicant heavy-
weight belts.
My brother Wladimir will be responsible
for further sporting successes, the older
Klitschko said Monday.
Vitali has not fought since September
2012, when he made the 10th defense of his
belt with a fourth-round stoppage of previ-
ously unbeaten Manuel Charr.
With the current extreme and delicate
political situation in the Ukraine, Vitali has
answered his countrys call to ght for human
rights and equality. Accordingly, Vitali will
not be able to provide the WBC with a pre-
dictable time-frame to return to the ring, the
WBC said.

STANFORD Chiney Ogwumike scored
24 of her 32 points in the rst half and No.
6 Stanford won its eighth straight, beating
New Mexico 74-41 on Monday night.
Mikaela Ruef had 10 rebounds and blocked
three shots for the Cardinal (9-1), who host
No. 3 Tennessee on Saturday.
Bryce Owens scored 12 points, all on 3-
pointers, to lead the Lobos (4-5), who fell
to 2-11 against teams ranked in the top 10.
New Mexico, which ranks second in the
Mountain West Conference in scoring
defense and rst in rebounding margin, last
beat a top 10 team eight years ago.
Ogwumike scored Stanfords first 10
points and 23 of its rst 25 before she was
replaced by Erica McCall with 9:52 left in
the rst half.
New Mexicos 6-foot-4 freshman post
player Kianna Keller made her fourth start of
the season and did everything she could to
slow down Ogwumike, who became the fth
member of Stanfords 2,000-point, 1,000-
rebound club with her fth point of the
game.
Keller is in the lineup because of season-
ending injuries to three of the Lobos front
line players, including sophomore Whitney
Johnson and junior Ebony Walker.
Ogwumike, who blocked four shots, was
10 of 15 from the eld in the rst half as
Stanford took a 40-21 lead.
Ogwumike, who had seven rebounds to
pass her sister Neka into third place on the
schools all-time list, left the game for good
with 10:30 remaining.
The Lobos, who had a two-game winning
streak snapped, were within 7-5 before the
Cardinal went on a 20-2 run to open a 20-
point lead midway through the rst half.
New Mexico kept the game relatively
close for the rst 7 minutes of the second
half by dominating the offensive boards and
getting second chance points.
Owens and Brooke Allemand hit3-point-
ers to cut Stanfords lead to 16, the closest
the Lobos would get the rest of the way.
Looking ahead to Tennessee, Stanford
owns consecutive wins over the Lady Vol s
and will be looking for a third straight for
the rst time in a series that dates to the
early 1990s.

Sports Brief
Manning realizes
his comeback inspires others
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Peyton Manning
says hes not sure hes deserving of the
2013 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the
Year honor but is glad to be in such elite
company that includes the likes of former
Tennessee womens basketball coach Pat
Summitt.
The Broncos quarterback was recognized
at a banquet at Sports Authority Field on
Monday night.
Manning has led Denver to an 11-3 record
this season, his second with the Broncos
after missing the 2011 season with
Indianapolis because of neck troubles that
affected his right triceps. He has thrown 47
touchdown passes, three shy of Tom Bradys
NFL season record, with two games remain-
i ng.
Manning is the fourth NFL quarterback to
take the honor in the past nine years, fol-
lowing Brady in 2005, Brett Favre in 2007
and Drew Brees in 2010. LeBron James was
the winner last year.
It means a great deal and for one, I really
accept this award on behalf of a lot of peo-
ple that have helped me, Manning said. I
realized that being injured and coming back
from an injury and playing is probably a
large reason why I received this award.

ALAMEDA The defense allowed Jamaal
Charles repeatedly to take short passes and
run untouched down the eld for scores. The
offense kept giving the ball away no matter
who played quarterback. Even the special
teams had its share of miscues.
It all added up to a 56-31 loss to the
Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday that might
not have been the most lopsided of the sea-
son for the Oakland Raiders but was possi-
bly the most distressing.
With every facet of the team struggling in
a fourth straight loss, its making it tougher
to make the case that the Raiders (4-10) are
making progress in year two under coach
Dennis Allen and general manager Reggie
McKenzie.
Were not in the blame game. Were not
in the pointing ngers game. Thats for
everybody else to do, Allen said Monday.
Our job is to come together as a group,
coaches and players. Were in the solution
business, not in the creating problem busi-
ness. And thats what weve got to go work
to do.
The biggest problems of late have been
on a defense that was the strength of this
team the rst half of the season. The Raiders
allowed the most points in franchise histo-
ry to the Chiefs with much of the damage
coming on short passes that turned into big
gains.
Charles scored on three screen passes that
covered 49, 39 and 16 yards to go along
with a 71-yard score on a downeld pass.
That was part of a 195-yard receiving day
that was the best for a running back in 14
years.
In all, Alex Smith completed 17 of 20
passes for 287 yards but 223 of those yards
came after the catch, according to Pro
Football Focus, as the Raiders were never in
position to make plays.
Weve got to recognize that those things
are coming, Allen said. Weve got to do a
great job of tackling in space. Thats an area
that weve got to work to improve on,
because we cant let screens behind the line
of scrimmage go for big gains like that.
That has become a disturbing trend in
recent weeks as the Raiders have been
picked apart by Nick Foles, Ryan
Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith and Alex Smith
while allowing a league-high 34.7 points
per game the past seven weeks.
Its very concerning and its frustrating
because at times weve played really good
defense, Allen said. Weve played out-
standing defense at times this year.
While the offense scored a season-high
31 points, the play wasnt much better than
the defense with Matt McGloin throwing
four interceptions and losing a fumble and
Terrelle Pryor also throwing an intercep-
tion.
McGloin started and played 65 snaps,
while Pryor got in for 15 in a seemingly
haphazard rotation aimed at catching the
defense off-guard. On one drive, the Raiders
went from McGloin to Pryor and back to
McGloin. It paid off in a touchdown but the
offense found little rhythm for most of the
game.
McGloin won the job by playing mostly
mistake free in his first start against
Houston but has been careless with the ball
of late with seven interceptions and one
lost fumble the past four games.
He has done well at avoiding sacks, tak-
ing just ve in ve starts with only Peyton
Manning getting sacked fewer times per
dropback. He also leads the NFL with 15
pass plays of at least 25 yards since becom-
ing the starter, which is a big reason why he
will start again this week despite the
turnovers.
Matts our starting quarterback, Allen
said. I think hes earned that right and hes
gone in and played well. He didnt play well
(Sunday). He made some mistakes. ... Its
tough to learn from those rookie mistakes
and those young mistakes.
Even the special teams got into the prob-
lems, allowing a 50-yard kickoff return to
open the game and then having Taiwan
Jones lose a fumble on a kickoff return with
Oakland trailing 42-31 late in the third quar-
ter.
NOTES: RB Darren McFadden is expected
back at practice Wednesday after missing
the past two games with an ankle injury. . . .
S Charles Woodson (ribs), TE Jeron Mastrud
(wrist) and LB Miles Burris (ankle) all suf-
fered minor injuries in the game.
Raiders showing
signs of regression
By Oskar Garcia
HONOLULU Hall of Fame wide receiver
Jerry Rice says he has a draft strategy
mapped out for picking his Pro Bowl squad
and wants quarterback Peyton Manning and
linebacker Robert Mathis on his side.
Rice told reporters
Monday he plans to take
a balanced approach to
selecting his players for
the Jan. 26 game and
expects rival alumni cap-
tain Deion Sanders to
focus on defense.
I can tell Deion is
afraid of me, said Rice,
taking a light swipe at
Sanders for being unable to make a confer-
ence call to discuss their role in the game
because of travel complications.
As alumni captains, Sanders and Rice have
nal say on the selections for each of the
Pro Bowl teams. The two-day draft is a
departure from the games traditional AFC
vs. NFC format, with a schoolyard-style
selection process modified with several
twists.
Rice says he expects the game to be a
throwback to battles he and the former
defensive played out when they were all-
stars in the NFL. He says he wants bragging
rights and knows Sanders wants the same.
Im really trying to keep up on all these
players, Rice said. Ive never been in a
war room but I think I have a feel for what
they go through now.
Rice said he most likely plans to take
skill position players in the early rounds
selecting from among quarterbacks, wide
receivers and perhaps running backs but
keep things balanced with defense.
For me it has to be 50-50 and I believe
you win with defense, Rice said. And some
of these guys that are really making state-
ments right now like Robert Mathis, Robert
Quinn, Mario Williams, all these guys ...
Im thinking defense.
Manning and Mathis are in the running to
be active player captains based on voting
by fans. The top vote-getter on offense will
be paired with the second-highest defensive
pick and the top defensive pick with the sec-
ond-highest offensive selection.
If those guys happen to be in the Super
Bowl, then all of a sudden I have to reassess
everything and look at these other guys,
Rice said. Players in the Super Bowl one
week later do not play in the Pro Bowl.
When Rice and Sanders arrive in Hawaii,
theyll ip a coin with the winner deciding
whether they want to pick their pair of cap-
tains or have rst pick among the rest of the
88 Pro Bowlers.
The rest of the draft will play out over two
days, with 30 players on each team picked
during a three-hour live draft Jan. 22 at a
beachside estate in Oahus popular Ko Olina
resort area. Each team will select a third
quarterback in the last round and the team
that picks second will be allowed to force a
trade on the other team after the draft ends.
Rice said hes been disappointed with the
play in the Pro Bowl the last few years and
is hoping the new format will allow the
players to gain better chemistry. He said
hes looking for players who will come in
excited to play hard, put on a good show for
fans and help him beat Sanders.
The main focus for me is going to be to
go out there to kick his butt, he said.

Aside from the injuries and some losses
Harbaugh would like back, this is almost
the script Harbaugh had in mind for the
December stretch run.
The reigning NFC champion Niners are
surging with a much healthier roster at last
despite the tough loss of Miller.
Were playing good ball, Aldon Smith
said. We just keep getting better.
Harbaugh didnt have an update on wide
receiver Michael Crabtrees injured left
hand, which he hurt during the fourth quarter
but didnt consider serious.
Harbaugh didnt seem overly concerned.
He seemed good after the ballgame and
on the ight home, he said.
And regarding Gores tender ankle,
Harbaugh said he, too, was walking well
afterward when the running back came to
visit with the coach on the plane.
With kicker Phil Dawson extending his
franchise-record streak of made eld goals
to 24, is it time to extend his contract
beyond this year?
Let me do that right now, Phil, stay
beyond this season, Harbaugh said with a
chuckle. Ive been remiss in asking in ask-
ing him to do that. Let me ofcially ask him
to stay beyond this season. Absolutely, Im
glad you brought it up, 24 straight eld
goals. He has been a top-notch guy, too, on
the team from the day he got here. ... Pay
the man.

Workers at Brazil World
Cup stadium walk off job
RIO DE JANEIRO News
reports say construction workers
have walked off the job at the
World Cup stadium in Brazils jun-
gle city of Manaus after a worker
fell 115 feet to his death.
The G1 Internet portal said the
stoppage has brought all work on
the stadium to a halt.
The G1 report cited a labor union
representing construction workers
as saying the stadiums estimated
1,800 workers walked off the job
early Monday to protest safety
conditions and what they
described as pressure to speed up
the project. Amazonas state gov-
ernment officials have denied
applying pressure to accelerate the
work.
The work stoppage follows a
Sunday decision by a Manaus court
that froze work in all areas where
laborers need to be high above the

Mark Martella has been a xture on the
Sacred Heart Prep sidelines all season long.
The father of Gators wide receiver Mitch
Martella, Mark Martella spent the season
as a parent photographer, taking pictures
of the team including his son.
Unfortunately, Mark Martella hasnt had
a lot of chances to get photos of his son
making plays. Because the Gators employ
a run-heavy offense, receivers are usually
limited to blocking for most of the game.
Saturday night, however, Mitch Martella
made his biggest play of the season and his
dad was there to capture it on his cameras
memory card. Midway through the fourth
quarter with SHP leading 35-7, the Gators
faced a fourth-and-long at the El Cerrito 47-
yard line. Eschewing a punt, Lavorato
decided to go for it. Quarterback Mason
Randall dropped back to pass and targeted
Mitch Martella, who had a step on his
defender. Randall released the pass down-
eld where the El Cerrito defensive back
got a hand on the ball.
He tipped the ball up, however, and as he
fell, Mitch Martella kept his eye on the
ball and made a juggling catch in stride.
The Gauchos defense caught up to him
inside the 10-yard line, but Martella bulled
his way into the end zone for the score and
an exclamation point on the Gators 42-7
victory.
I hope dad got the shot.

NEW YORK The National
Institutes of Health, with partial
funding by the NFL, has chosen
eight projects to receive support in
researching concussions.
Two $6 million grants will be
given to a cooperative partnership
focused on long-term changes in
the brain years after a head injury
or after multiple concussions. The
partnership includes the National
Institute of Neurological Disorders
and Stroke (NINDS); the Eunice
Kennedy Shriver National Institute
of Child Health and Human
Development (NICHD); and multi-
ple academic medical centers.
The NIH also will provide just
over $2 million for start-ups of
sports-releated concussion proj-
ects. If the early results are encour-
aging, they may become the basis
of more comprehensive projects.
The NIH institutes responsible
for managing these grants are
NINDS, NICHD, and the National
Institute on Deafness and Other
Communication Disorders
(NIDCD).
We need to be able to predict
which patterns of injury are rapidly
reversible and which are not,
Story Landis, director of NINDS,
said in a statement. This program
will help researchers get closer to
answering some of the important
questions about concussion for our
youth who play sports and their
parents.
The NFL did not have a role in
which organizations received the
grants. Those decisions were made
by the NIH.
We are optimistic that these
research projects will help advance
the understanding of the complex
issues involving traumatic brain
injury, said Jeff Miller, the NFL
senior vice president of health and
safety policy.
The cooperative awards bring
together two teams of independent
scientists to study and compare the
brains of donors who were at high
or low risk for developing long-
term effects of traumatic brain
injury.
Ten neuropathologists from
eight universities will meet to
develop standards for diagnosis.
Four teams will correlate brain
scans with changes in brain tissue,
which could lead to using such
advanced brain imaging techniques
to diagnose chronic effects of trau-
matic brain injury in people who
are still alive.

Russia: Aug. 21 Syria
chemical attack was staged
UNITED NATIONS Russia on Monday
lashed out at the U.S. and its allies on the U.N.
Security Council over who is to blame for
chemical weapons attacks in Syria this year.
Russias ambassador told the council that
the dramatic Aug. 21 attack that led to Syria
agreeing to give up its chemical stockpile was
staged and a large-scale provocation.
Vitaly Churkin compared it to the manipu-
lation of public opinion that led up to the
U.S. invasion of Iraq. He read reporters the
statement he read to council members.
The current council president, French
Ambassador Gerard Araud, told reporters only
that members had an acrimonious
exchange.
The spirited session came as the council
received its rst brieng from Secretary-
General Ban Ki-moon on the nal report of a
U.N. inspection team that last week said
chemical weapons probably were used in Syria
several times.
Bachelet has big win
in Chile presidential vote
SANTIAGO, Chile President-elect
Michelle Bachelet vowed on Monday to initi-
ate profound social changes in Chile, a day
after winning the seat with the biggest victo-
ry in eight decades.
Analysts, however, noted that the 41 per-
cent voter turnout was the lowest since Chiles
return to democracy, suggesting shell need to
move deliberately, not radically, when she
begins her second turn in ofce next year.
Bachelet will be sworn in March 11, giving
outgoing President Sebastian Pinera nearly
three more months in ofce. They shared an
hourlong breakfast at Bachelets home
Monday to discuss the transition.

BAGHDAD Adouble car bombing and a
shooting killed 34 Shiite Muslims on pil-
grimage in Iraq on Monday, the deadliest in
a wave of attacks across the country that left
at least 65 dead. It was the bloodiest day of
violence in nearly two months.
Police ofcials said the worst attack took
place Monday night in the southern
Baghdad suburb of al-Rasheed, when two car
bombs struck a group of Shiite pilgrims
walking to the holy Shiite city of Karbala,
killing 23 and wounding 55.
Hundreds of thousands of Shiite pilgrims
are making their way to the city to com-
memorate Arbaeen, the end of 40 days of
mourning following the anniversary of the
death of the Prophet Muhammads grand-
son, Imam Hussein, a revered Shiite gure.
Earlier in the day, gunmen opened re on a
bus in Mosul that was carrying Shiite pil-
grims traveling also to Karbala, killing 11
and wounding eight. Mosul is located about
360 kilometers (225 miles) northwest of
Baghdad.
Sunni Muslim insurgents in Iraq frequent-
ly attack Shiites, who they consider in-
dels. Usually, Shiite marches to holy cities
are poorly protected by Iraqi security forces.
In other violence on Monday, a group of
suicide bombers launched a brazen attack on
a police station in the town of Beiji, a for-
mer insurgent stronghold 250 kilometers
(155 miles) north of Baghdad, where a sui-
cide bomber rammed his explosives-laden
car into the main gate of the town police
station.
That explosion paved the way for three
other suicide bombers who were on foot to
storm inside and blow themselves up in the
building, a police ofcer said. Eight police-
men, including an ofcer, were killed while
ve were wounded in the attack, he said.
Later in the morning, several bombings
hit different parts of Baghdad and northern
Iraq, police said.
In southeastern Baghdad, a parked car
bomb ripped through a parking lot, killing
six civilians and wounding 12.
Another parked car bomb went off in the
central Salhia neighborhood near the heavi-
ly fortied Green Zone where key govern-
ment offices and foreign embassies are
located. That attack killed ve civilians and
wounded 14.
Wave of attacks kill 65 people in Iraq

JOHANNESBURG Just when it seemed
the scandal over the bogus sign language
interpreter at Nelson Mandelas memorial
had run its course, a cousin and three friends
say he was part of a mob that accosted two
men found with a stolen television and
burned them to death by setting re to tires
placed around their necks.
Thamsanqa Jantjie never went to trial
for the 2003 killings when other suspects
did because authorities
determined he was not
mentally fit to stand
trial, the four told the
Associated Press
Monday. They spoke on
condition of anonymity
because of the sensitivi-
ty of the fake signing
fiasco, which has
deeply embarrassed
South Africas govern-
ment and prompted a high-level investi-
gation into how it happened.
Their account of the killings matched a
description of the crime and the outcome for
Jantjie that he himself described in an inter-
view published by the Sunday Times news-
paper of Johannesburg.
It was a community thing, what you call
mob justice, and I was also there, Jantjie
told the newspaper.
Jantjie was not at his house Monday, and
the cousin told AP Jantjie had been picked
up by someone in a car Sunday and had not
returned.

Many immigrants
hesitate to seek health insurance
HOUSTON The new health insurance
system is stoking fears among immigrant
families that applying for coverage could
draw the attention of immigration authori-
ties.
Immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally
cannot participate in the system. But
many of them have relatives who are
American citizens or legal residents and
are eligible.
Since the system debuted in October,
immigrant advocates and federal officials
have been working to reassure families
that insurance information will not be
shared with enforcement agencies.
The effort has brought changes in the
main health care website and a memo from
immigration authorities promising not to
go after anyone based on insurance paper-
work.
Of the nearly 40 million people in the
U.S. who were born elsewhere, about a
third lack health insurance.

WASHINGTON Theres more disappoint-
ing news about multivitamins: Two major
studies found popping the pills didnt protect
aging mens brains or help heart attack sur-
vivors.
Millions of Americans spend billions of
dollars on vitamin combinations, presum-
ably to boost their health and ll gaps in
their diets. But while people who dont eat
enough of certain nutrients may be urged to
get them in pill form, the government
doesnt recommend routine vitamin supple-
mentation as a way to prevent chronic dis-
eases.
The studies released Monday are the latest
to test if multivitamins might go that extra
step and concluded they dont .
Evidence is sufcient to advise against
routine supplementation, said a sharply
worded editorial that accompanied Mondays
ndings in the journal Annals of Internal
Medicine.
After all, most people who buy multivita-
mins and other supplements are generally
healthy, said journal deputy editor Dr.
Cynthia Mulrow. Even junk foods often are
fortied with vitamins, while the main nutri-
tion problem in the U.S. is too much fat and
calories, she added.
But other researchers say the jurys still
out, especially for the countrys most com-
monly used dietary supplement multivita-
mins that are taken by about a third of U.S.
adults, and even more by people over the age
of 50.
Indeed, the U.S. Preventive Services Task
Force is deliberating whether vitamin supple-
ments make any difference in the average per-
sons risk of heart disease or cancer. In a draft
proposal last month, the government adviso-
ry group said for standard multivitamins and
certain other nutrients, theres not enough
evidence to tell. (It did caution that two sin-
gle supplements, beta-carotene and vitamin
E, didnt work). Anal decision is expected
next year.
For better or for worse, supplementations
not going to go away, said Dr. Howard Sesso
of Brigham and Womens Hospital in
Boston. He helps leads a large multivitamin
study that has had mixed results suggest-
ing small benets for some health conditions
but not others and says more research is
needed, especially among the less healthy.
Still, theres no substitute for preaching a
healthy diet and good behaviors such as
exercise, Sesso cautioned.
As scientists debate, here are some ques-
tions and answers to consider in the vitamin
aisle:
Q: Why the new focus on multivita-
mi ns?
A: Multivitamins have grown more popu-
lar in recent years as research showed that
taking high doses of single supplements
could be risky, such as beta-carotene.
Multivitamins typically contain no more
than 100 percent of the daily recommended
amount of various nutrients. Theyre market-
ed as sort of a safety net for nutrition gaps;
the industrys Council for Responsible
Nutrition says theyre taken largely for gen-
eral wellness.
Q: What are the latest ndings?
A: With Alzheimers on the rise as the pop-
ulation ages, Harvard researchers wondered if
long-term multivitamin use might help keep
older brains agile. They examined a subset of
nearly 6,000 male doctors, age 65 or older,
who were part of a larger study. The men were
given either multivitamins or dummy pills,
without knowing which they were taking.
After a decade of pill use, the vitamin-tak-
ers fared no better on memory or other cogni-
tive tests, Sessos team reported Monday in
the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.
Q: Did that Harvard study nd any
other benet from multivitamins?
A: The results of the Physicians Health
Study II have been mixed. Overall it enrolled
about 15,000 health male doctors age 50 and
older, and the vitamin-takers had a slightly
lower risk of cancer 8 percent. Diet and
exercise are more protective. They also had a
similarly lower risk of developing cataracts,
common to aging eyes. But the vitamins had
no effect the risk for heart disease or another
eye condition, Sesso said.
Q: Might vitamins have a different
e ffect on people who already have
heart disease?
A: As part of a broader treatment study, a
separate research team asked that question.
They examined 1,700 heart attack survivors,
mostly men, who were given either a special
multivitamin containing higher-than-usual
doses of 28 ingredients or dummy pills. But
the vitamins didnt reduce the chances of
another heart attack, other cardiovascular
problems, or death.
Q: What about women?
A: Research involving postmenopausal
women a few years ago also concluded multi-
vitamins didnt prevent cancer or heart dis-
ease. But it wasnt nearly as rigorous a study
as Mondays research, relying on women to
recall what vitamins they used.
Do vitamins block disease? Some disappointing news

By Matthew Perrone
WASHINGTON After more
than 40 years of study, the U.S.
government says it has found no
evidence that common anti-bacter-
ial soaps prevent the spread of
germs, and regulators want the
makers of Dawn, Dial and other
household staples to prove that
their products do not pose health
risks to consumers.
Scientists at the Food and Drug
Administration announced
Monday they are revisiting the
safety of triclosan, the sanitizing
agent found in soap in countless
kitchens and bathrooms. Recent
studies suggest triclosan and simi-
lar substances can interfere with
hormone levels in lab animals and
spur the growth of drug-resistant
bacteria.
The governments preliminary
ruling lends new support to outside
researchers who have long argued
that the chemicals are, at best,
ineffective and at worst, a threat to
public health.
The FDA is nally making a
judgment call here and asking
industry to show us that these
products are better than soap and
water, and the data dont substanti-
ate that, said Stuart Levy of Tufts
University School of Medicine.
While the rule only applies to
personal hygiene products, it has
implications for a broader $1 bil-
lion industry that includes thou-
sands of anti-bacterial products,
including kitchen knives, toys,
paciers and toothpaste. Over the
last 20 years, companies have
added triclosan and other cleaners
to thousands of household prod-
ucts, touting their germ-killing
benet s.
Under a proposed rule released
Monday, the agency will require
manufacturers to prove that anti-
bacterial soaps are safe and more
effective than plain soap and
water. Products that are not shown
to be safe and effective by late
2016 would have to be reformulat-
ed, relabeled or removed from the
market.
I suspect there are a lot of con-
sumers who assume that by using
an anti-bacterial soap product they
are protecting themselves from ill-
ness, protecting their families,
said Sandra Kweder, deputy director
in the FDAs drug center. But we
dont have any evidence that that
is really the case over simple soap
and water.
A spokesman for the cleaning
product industry said the FDA
already has a wealth of data
showing the benets of anti-bacte-
rial products.
Mondays action affects virtual-
ly all soap products labeled anti-
bacterial, including dish and hand
soaps and body washes.
FDA: Anti-bacterial soaps may not curb bacteria
The Food and Drug Administration says it has found no evidence that
common anti-bacterial soaps prevent the spread of germs.

that does not levy such a fee on oil
pumped from private land, which could
generate billions of dollars a year for
the state budget.
Proposals for an oil tax have stalled
repeatedly amid pressure from oil com-
panies, which are major donors to law-
makers campaigns. But Steyer said he
believes the current Legislature is more
progressive and collaborative than in
the past.
I dont understand why the politics
are hard here, he said in a telephone
interview. Who is going to stand up in
the town square and say that we should-
nt have a tax on this?
Tupper Hall, a spokesman for the
Western States Petroleum Association,
which represents oil companies, said
Steyer is wrong to compare California
with other states that have such a tax.
He said oil companies generate a lot of
revenue through other fees, including
$500 million a year in state royalties
and billions of dollars annually in roy-
alties paid to private landowners for oil
extracted on their property.
Hall said an extraction tax would mean
more imported oil, decreased invest-
ment in the states oil infrastructure and
job losses.
After understanding the implications
of raising taxes on energy production,
Californians have rejected all of those
proposals and they will reject this one,
Hall said.
State Sen. Noreen Evans, D-Santa
Rosa, already has pending legislation
that would impose a 9.5 percent per-bar-
rel tax on oil, but it stalled in a legisla-
tive committee this year.
Her spokeswoman, Teala Schaff, said
Evans hopes to nd more support for the
bill in 2014. But she noted that the cur-
rent makeup of the Legislature includes
more moderate Democrats who are
loathe to oppose the business commu-
nity, which has opposed such efforts.

away from brick-and-mortar business-
es down the street.
Recently, the Broadway Business
Improvement District proposed to
move Off the Grid to Broadway
between Chula Vista and Capuchino
avenues on Tuesday nights for a 90-day
trial after businesses objected. Matt
Cohen, owner of Off the Grid, present-
ed a petition to keep the business in
Burlingame. The companys prefer-
ence is to stay at its current location.
The trafc, if Broadway were closed
for Off the Grid, could be a potential
nightmare, police said.
It really is like synchronized swim-
ming when youre shutting down an
area like that, said Burlingame police
Sgt. Don Shepley. We would need to
get signage and trafc direction. If we
look at what it takes to shut
[Broadway] down, it would be six of-
cers at six and a half hours and it comes
out to $4,700 per event. If the police
department were to absorb it, it would
be a little less.
On the other hand, the Broadway
Business Improvement District wrote a
letter to the council requesting an
environmental impact report of hav-
ing Off the Grid at the Broadway
Caltrain station. It states the business
district has noise, litter, sanitation
and poor food safety concerns that the
staff report prepared by Community
Development Director Bill Meeker did-
nt include.
There has been considerable politi-
cal shilly-shallying about the matter
with one government entity stating
one thing, Caltrain, and another, the
city of Burlingame, another, the let-
ter states. In the meantime, the city of
Burlingame is putting at risk the very
backbone of its community that func-
tions hour-by-hour, day-by-day, year
in and year out.
Meeker said this land is unclassied,
meaning it is not zoned for any partic-
ular type of use, since it is owned by a
government entity, Caltrain, and isnt
subject to an EIR.
Vice Mayor Nagel suggested it would
be good to talk with the Broadway
businesses on how to bring in more
customers. Closing down Broadway
would cause too many congestion
issues, safety issues and high costs.
One big eye opener for me is that
Off the Grid isnt a casual business,
Nagel said. This is not the case of a
casual business thats trying to move
in. The bigger problem Ive seen from
this is the merchants on Broadway are
not prepared to deal with the sophisti-
cation of this business.
Councilman Jerry Deal, who voted
against the letter, said the Broadway
idea seemed like a great idea, but has
since realized its not feasible. He said
he cant support it being on Broadway
or at the Caltrain station.
Im going to stick up for the mer-
chants themselves, he said. Ive got
a 35-year history of knowing the mer-
chants on Broadway. A lot of these
merchants are holding on by a tiny bit.
Its sure not a viable business model
that helps Broadway in any shape or
form.
Meanwhile, Councilman Ricardo
Ortiz said he would support some way
to bring synergy between Broadway
merchants and Off the Grid.
The public came to speak out about
the matter. Two fourth-graders in the
neighborhood spoke in support of
keeping Off the Grid in Burlingame.
Derek Daniels, a senior at
Burlingame High School, said if the
city closes Broadway for a market its
going to conceivably have a backup of
cars.
Off the Grid has become a huge part
of culture in this area, Daniels said.
Its one of the only places in the com-
munity where you can nd pulled pork
sandwich, spring rolls and creme
brulee all within 20 meters of each
other.
Other discussed the sense of commu-
nity the market brings and that they
dont believe Off the Grid competes
with the businesses on Broadway.
Resident Ray Marshall said the resi-
dents want it to stay in town and the
Broadway business district is being a
little petty.
Off the Grid currently pays $750 a
month between Caltrain and the
California Public Utilities
Commission for the space, said
Caltrain spokeswoman Jayme
Ackemann. Off the Grid works to
develop markets that are both located
in urban cores of cities and use spaces
that are not easily activated effectively
throughout the day. This ts with the
Broadway Caltrain location since the
train doesnt stop there during week-
days. The agreement with Caltrain
extends into December and the con-
tract is on hold while issues worked out
with the merchants, Ackemann said.
In other city business, the council
approved changes to the historic
preservation covenant as it was previ-
ously accepted for the Post Office
property located at 220 Park Road. The
first states the California Office of
Historic Preservation will not be a
covenant holder and asked it be
removed from administration of the
covenant. Second, the ofce has asked
the good cause clause be removed from
the covenant. As originally drafted,
this clause would have permitted the
covenant holders to modify or cancel
the restrictive provisions of the
covenant for good cause and following
notice to the public.
Additionally, the council voted to
send a letter to the California
Department of Transportation stating
the city wants it to adopt the most
cost-effective option with incremental
changes to the intersection on
Floribunda Avenue and El Camino
Real. The letter states that, in the
strongest terms, the city objects to
adding the turn signal lane on historic,
cultural and aesthetic grounds ... any
improvements should be made with the
least possible impact to the environ-
ment. The project is a controversial
safety project that could remove her-
itage eucalyptus trees if a left turn sig-
nal lane is installed.
