GIRL DECLARED BRAIN DEAD TO BE KEPT ON LIFE
SUPPORT UNTIL JAN. 7
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo County residents spent
2013 absorbing and participating in
several national stories the imple-
mentation of the Affordable Care Act,
the historic U.S. Supreme Court rul-
ings allowing same-sex marriage and
ending the Defense of Marriage Act and
the salmonella outbreak that included
chickens sold at the South San
Francisco Costco.
But closer to home, the countys top
headlines were steeped in grief, tri-
umph and occasionally surprise.
On May 4, ve nurses died when a
limousine fire on the San Mateo-
Hayward Bridge trapped nine women
celebrating ones recent wedding. An
investigation concluded the cars rear
suspension failed, letting the cars
steel drive shaft scrape against the
limousines oorboards and catch re.
The tragedy spurred a number of pro-
posed bills to make limousines safer
but Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed legisla-
tion by state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, that would have required the
California Highway Patrol to conduct
annual safety inspections for a $75
fee.
The county made national news
again July 6 when Asiana Airlines
Flight 214 crashed while landing too
low at San Francisco International
Airport. Three Chinese girls were
killed and 181 other passengers
injured in the initial crash. One of the
fatalities was a 16-year-old girl who
survived the crash but died after being
run over by two rescue vehicles rush-
ing to the scene though the foam-lled
runway.
In the aftermath, debate arose over
the use of cameras on reghter hel-
mets, a local television station fell
victim to a racial-tinged prank involv-
ing the pilots names and a United
Airlines worker at SFO and his ancee
were charged with reportedly stealing
luggage from diverted travelers and
returning the merchandise to a depart-
ment store for money.
Redwood Citys year was marked by
several res that left several apartment
residents displaced and raised safety
questions about both residential build-
ings and industrial facilities.
On July 7, the 72-unit Hallmark
House Apartments at 531 Woodside
Road went up in ames, killing a 48-
year-old man and injuring 17 others.

Daly City ambulance
stolen as medics helped patient
Police in Northern California are
searching for suspects who stole an
ambulance while paramedics were help-
ing a patient.
Daly City police say paramedics were
inside a home early Monday morning
tending to someone experiencing
blood sugar issues related to diabetes
and didnt need to be taken to a hospi-
tal.
After the paramedics treated the
patient and stepped outside the home,
they discovered their American Medical
Response ambulance was no longer
there.
Police say the vehicle was recovered
within ve minutes a couple blocks
away with small items missing.
Authorities say the 911 call to bring
the paramedics to the home was legiti-
mate. They would not say what was
taken.
The incident is under investigation.
No arrests have been made.
Six arrested in police
impersonation prank
TEMECULA Authorities say they
arrested six teens accused of posing as
Southern California police ofcers and
ordering people out of their cars by
using megaphones and high-powered
ashlights to obscure their real identi-
t y.
The teens ordered the victims to lie
face down on the pavement and then
drove away.
The Riverside County Sheriffs
Department says 18-year-old Mason
Gonzalez of Temecula has been arrested
as well as three girls and two boys.
Authorities said they first received
reports of the alleged pranks on Dec.
23.
There were no attempts to harm or
rob the victims during the incidents.
There was no phone listing for
Gonzalez and he couldnt immediately
be reached.
Temecula is about 50 miles from San
Diego.
California universities
move to ban campus smoking
SAN DIEGO Schools in
Californias public university systems
are stamping out smoking in hopes
that it will help improve the health of
students, faculty and employees.
Both the University of California
and California State systems have
taken measures to ensure smoking will
no longer be allowed on campuses.
Some schools already enforce no-
tobacco policies, while others plan to
do so beginning next year, joining
more than 1,100 colleges and universi-
ties around the nation that have gone
smoke-free.
At San Diego State University, work-
ers will remove ashtrays from the
remaining 12 designated smoking
areas on campus for its new rule that
ofcially takes effect Wednesday. SDSU
ofcials say they have created an infor-
mational website, smokefree.sdsu.edu,
about its new directive.
Some students question how the pol-
icy will be enforced. Ofcials have said
that if they see people lighting up,
theyll offer a friendly reminder. SDSU
spokesman Greg Block said police
arent going to be walking around cam-
pus handing out tickets.
Im not sure it will work, Jin
Salamack, a junior studying graphic
design, told U-T San Diego. I feel like
the students who do smoke will end up
smoking all over campus.
Former UC President Mark Yudof
announced the ban in 2012 but the roll-
out has been left up to each school. A
call to the California State University
ofce was not immediately returned.
UCLA did away with cigarettes,
cigars and chewing tobacco in April.
About 8 percent of UC students smoke,
compared with the national average of
16 percent, ofcials said.
At the University of California,
Riverside, school ofcials have spent
about $50,000 on signs, promotional
events and materials for the ban expect-
ed to start Wednesday. Some smokers at
the school remain deant.
Susan Chevrie, a custodian who has
smoked a pack a day for 35 years, said
she will kick the habit on her own
terms.

Stalled labor negotiations between teach-
ers and the Redwood City Elementary School
District has led to mediation with legal coun-
sel to begin in mid-January.
In early November, both sides agreed to an
impasse after the Redwood City Teachers
Association and board failed to come to an
agreement over a new contract. On Oct. 15,
the union requested a 7 percent pay increase
that could be spread out over two years, while
the district countered with a 2 percent raise
beginning on July 1, 2014. The districts
offer would include a one-time payment this
year equal to 1 percent of salaries, according
to the district.
Additionally, for the 2013-14 school year,
the district offered a one-time 2.6 percent
salary increase. This would be comprised of a
1 percent off-schedule bonus and a reduction
of three workdays equivalent to a 1.6 percent
salary increase, according to the district.
Teachers in the district havent received a
cost-of-living adjustment or across the board
salary increase since the 2007-08 school
year.
Its a misnomer the education funding cri-
sis has ended, said board Vice President
Dennis McBride. Im appalled everyone
thinks its over. Im ne with the impasse
because I believe a mediator will look at the
nancials and say theres no money.
The new Local Control Funding Formula
sends $2.1 billion more to school districts
that have high numbers of students from
lower-income families, who have limited
English prociency or are foster children.
The district receives $141 per pupil with the
new formula, receiving $1.3 million total
from the state incrementally, McBride said.
There is still a $2.5 million decit, he said.
He notes the state owes the district $62 mil-
lion, which he said he guarantees it wont see
with the new funding formula.
McBride said the district absolutely wants
to give teachers, staff and administrators a
raise, but it just doesnt have the wherewith-
al. Currently, certied, credentialed teachers
make from $45,495 starting to $84,938
annually.
We are extremely frustrated that continu-
ous budget cuts have put us in a position of
not being able to raise salaries since 2007-
08, he said. To put this in perspective,
when I joined the board in 2003 we had 8,000
students and approximately $95 million
today we have 9,000 students and $80 mil-
lion.
A mediator will be appointed from the
California State Mediation Service to assist
the union and district in resolving their dif-
ferences. Mediation can last for one meeting
or for months, at the complete discretion of
the mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful and
the mediator releases the parties, the next
step is a fact nding process. If this too fails,
there could be a strike.
Redwood City Teachers Association
President Bret Baird could not be reached for
comment.

A 25-year-old South San Francisco man
locked in a bedroom by a woman who he
reportedly confronted in her home wearing
only boxers while she bathed two young
children will stand trial at the end of January.
Rodney Rajiv Narayan had already been
convicted of misdemeanor trespassing and
sentenced to 30 days in jail for similar con-
duct just nine days before he entered the
womans South San Francisco home on Aug.
3, according to prosecutors.
At about 4:30 p.m. that day, the woman
was bathing her 5- and 8-year-old children
when Narayan allegedly appeared in the bath-
room doorway clad only in his boxer shorts
and telling her to come with him. The intrud-
er got inside using a ladder to the window of a
downstairs bedroom
whose boarder was not
home, prosecutors said.
As the children ran to
their room and locked the
door, as instructed by their
mother, the woman fol-
lowed the man downstairs.
He turned to face her with
his hand inside his shorts
and the other holding
money, telling her to
come to him. He walked into a room and, as
he entered, she slammed and locked the door,
trapping him while she phoned her sister
who in turn called police. She hid upstairs
and police had to break into the house where
they found Narayan locked in the room and
lying on a bed.
Prosecutors charged Narayan with rst-
degree burglary and battery. He pleaded not
guilty and is scheduled for jury trial Jan. 27.
According to the District Attorneys Ofce,
Narayan committed a similar offense which
included grabbing a womans breast in July.
He was sentenced to 30 days in jail with cred-
it of eight days which put him back out of
custody for one day before reportedly acting
out again. He is also on three years proba-
tion.
In the latest case, he remains in custody in
lieu of $100,000 bail.

Cal Fire suspends burn
permits due to dry weather
The California Department of Forestry
and Fire Protection has suspended burn per-
mits, citing dry conditions and a sharp
increase in vegetation res.
The agency issued a ban Monday on 31
million acres of state property and private
land in Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara,
San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties as well
as parts of Stanislaus and San Joaquin coun-
ties.
Cal Fire ofcials say the region has been
experiencing record-breaking low rainfall,
low humidity, dry fuel moisture levels and
increased re activity.
The agency also says in Santa Cruz
County alone, there have been 31 vegeta-
tion res in November and December, about
half of which involved blazes relating to
burning debris. Typically, there would be
ve to seven such res.
Ofcials say campres are still allowed in
organized campgrounds or on private prop-
erty with landowner permission.

they want to take her off the machines that
are keeping her body functioning. Her
family wants to continue life support, say-
ing they have hope she will still pull
through.
Shortly before a 5 p.m. Monday deadline
that was set in a previous ruling, Alameda
County Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo
ordered the hospital to keep Jahi on a ven-
tilator until Jan. 7.
Meanwhile, the familys lawyer filed suit
in federal court, requesting that the hospi-
tal be compelled to perform a tracheotomy
for breathing and to insert a feeding tube
procedures that would allow Jahi to be
transferred to a facility willing to care for
her. The hospital has said its unethical to
perform surgery on a person who is legally
dead.
Jahis mother, Nailah Winkfield, said she
wept when she heard about the delay, and
she hugged relatives outside the hospital.
She said it was an answer to her prayers and
a sign that she was right to keep fighting.
Who wants to know the date and the
time their child would die? Winkfield said.
I dont care what anyone has to say about
what Im doing. ... I have to do what is
right for me and for Jahi.
She said she does not believe her daugh-
ter is dead because her heart is still beating.
Sam Singer, a hospital spokesman, said
it would comply with the judges new order.
The familys lawyer, Christopher Dolan,
said he was pleased.
Hes giving us a meaningful opportuni-
ty to seek relief and what I consider a stay
of execution, Dolan said. I feel like Im a
death row lawyer, and it does not feel
good.
Dolan said when he called Jahis mother
at the hospital about the extension of the
deadline, she said that hospital staff had
cleared family members out of a waiting
room as doctors prepared to remove Jahi
from the ventilator.
The stakes are so high when you hold
somebodys life in your hands, he said.
And when someones mother says to you,
Please dont let them kill my baby, you do
everything that you can. Theres nothing
that can prepare you for this.
Dolan said he knows he has been widely
criticized by some for apparently giving
the girls family a false sense of hope, but
he said he has had family members speak to
other doctors who have painted the bleak-
est of pictures.

SACRAMENTO Californias political
watchdog agency said Monday it has declined
to open an investigation into a lawmaker
whose name surfaced in an ongoing federal
investigation of a state senator.
The Fair Political Practices Commission
told Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, that
it will not investigate whether he was
involved in the transfer of a $25,000 contri-
bution from a Latino political action commit-
tee to a nonprot .
The nonprot, Californians for Diversity,
is run by former Assemblyman Tom Calderon.
FBI agents raided the ofces of Calderons
brother, state Sen. Ron Calderon, D-
Montebello, in June as part of an investiga-
tion.
The commission asked de Leon earlier this
month for more information about the contri-
bution but said in a letter dated Monday that
he would not be the subject of an investiga-
tion.
Instead, the agency has initiated an investi-
gation into whether any elected ofcer of the
Latino Caucus political action committee,
Yes We Can, might have directed the donation
from the group to the nonprot .
If so, the parties would have been required
to report the contribution as a behested pay-
ment under Californias campaign nance
laws, said Gary Winuk, chief of the FPPCs
enforcement division. A letter announcing
the investigation does not name any specic
target.
Ron Calderon was in line to become chair-
man of the legislative Latino Caucus this
year, but state Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell
Gardens, did not want to give up the job. Afew
weeks after the caucus voted to keep Lara as
chairman, Yes We Can gave $25,000 to
Californians for Diversity, the nonprot run
by Ron Calderons brother.
In a letter to the FPPC denying de Leons
involvement in the donation, his attorney,
Stephen Kaufman, said the lawmaker did not
request the contribution, did not recommend
the contribution, and was not part of any vote
or decision to make the contribution.
In an emailed statement Monday, de Leon
said I had nothing to do with the contribu-
tion and am pleased that after reviewing the
evidence the FPPC quickly closed this mat-
ter.
Agency: No investigation of Latino Caucus donation

Have you ever been
entrusted to make
final arrangements
for a funeral?
Those of you
whove had this
experience know
that important decisions are required and
must be made in a timely manner. The next
of kin is many times required to search for
information about the deceased which may
not be easily accessible, and must answer
questions without the time to think things
out. Even though your Funeral Director is
trained to guide you every step of the way, it
is still best for you to be prepared with the
proper information if the need should arise.
Ask your Funeral Director what info is
needed before you meet with him/her.
Making funeral arrangements can be very
simple, or can become difficult at times if
you are not prepared. A good Funeral
Director is experienced in leading you with
the necessary requirements, and will offer
details that you may not have thought about
or previously considered as an option.
Allowing him/her to guide you will make
the arrangements go by quickly and easily.
A number of items should be considered
in preparation for the future:
1. Talk to your loved ones about the
inevitable. Give them an indication on what
your wishes are regarding the type of funeral
you want, burial or cremation, etc., and ask
them their feelings about plans for their own
funeral. This is only conversation, but it is
an important topic which will help break the
ice and prevent any type of confusion when
the time comes.
2. Talk to your Funeral Director. Write
down a list of questions and make a phone
call to your Funeral Director asking how to
be prepared. He/she will gladly provide
detailed information and can mail this
information to you for your reference.
Asking questions doesnt cost anything and
will help you with being organized.
3. Make an appointment and Pre-plan a
Funeral. Many more people are following
through with this step by making Pre-Need
Arrangements. Completing arrangements
ahead of time makes this process more
relaxed, and putting these details behind you
will take a weight off your shoulders. Your
wishes will be finalized and kept on file at
the Mortuary. Your Funeral Director will
even help you set aside funding now as to
cover costs at the time of death. Families
who meet with us at the CHAPEL OF THE
HIGHLANDS are grateful for the chance to
make Pre-Need Arrangements. With their
final details in place it helps to make matters
more calming for surviving loved-ones.
4. Enjoy Life. There are those who dwell
on situations that cant be controlled.
Taking time to stop and look around at
beauty in the world and appreciate good
things can be therapeutic. If you need to use
a negative statement, try re-wording it into a
positive. Change I had a lousy day today
into Today was demanding, but it made me
appreciate my better days. As the song
goes: Accentuate the positive; Eliminate
the negative; Latch on to the affirmative.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Accentuating The Positive
Can Eliminate The Negative

WASHINGTON In a competitive dis-
trict east of Denver, Democrat Andrew
Romanoff is counting on voter anger at a
divided and ineffectual Congress to help
him unseat three-term Republican Rep.
Mike Coffman.
I must have blinked and missed it, the
challenger said of the Houses work this
past year. Its become a punch line to call
this the least productive Congress in histo-
ry or to joke how do you tell when
Congress is in session or on vacation, its
hard to tell the difference.
Ten months to next years midterm elec-
tions, Democrats are determined to make
Congress slim production of fewer than 60
laws and plenty of incompletes on immi-
gration, gun control, tax reform and basic
spending bills a dening issue, heaping
much of the blame on the GOP-led House for
obstructing President Barack Obamas sec-
ond-term agenda.
Republicans dismiss criticism about a
sparse record and insist that the driving
issue in 2014 will be the impact of Obamas
health care law, with a raft of canceled insur-
ance policies, higher premiums and an end-
less cycle of problems.
Voters are more motivated when some-
thing is taken away from them, Rep. Greg
Walden, R-Ore., head of the campaign com-
mittee to elect Republicans, said this past
fall during the woes of the health care web-
sites startup.
Waldens Democratic counterpart, Rep.
Steve Israel of New York, has his own
assessment: Voters are paying members of
Congress to do a job, to get things done,
not to just sit back and obsess about repeal-
ing a single law.
The election will decide who is right and
who controls Congress for the last two
years of Obamas presidency.
The GOP has held the House majority
since January 2011 and is widely expected
to maintain that edge in next Novembers
contests. Congressional ofcials and out-
side political experts point to the drag of
Obamas low approval ratings, the troubled
health care law and the traditional losses for
the presidents party in midterm elections.
Republicans insist they will expand their
232-201 majority there are currently two
vacancies but no one expects the gains
of 2010 when the GOP notched 63
Democratic seats and captured House con-
trol. Past Republican wins and redrawn con-
gressional lines have reduced the universe
of competitive seats.
Dems, GOP seek to define issue for 2014 elections
Its become a punch line to call this the least
productive Congress in history or to joke how do you tell when
Congress is in session or on vacation, its hard to tell the difference.

NEWYORK The average amount of elec-
tricity consumed in U.S. homes has fallen to
levels last seen more than a decade ago, back
when the smartest device in peoples pockets
was a Palm pilot and anyone talking about a
tablet was probably an archaeologist or a
preacher.
Because of more energy-efcient housing,
appliances and gadgets, power usage is on
track to decline in 2013 for the third year in a
row, to 10,819 kilowatt-hours per household,
according to the Energy Information
Administration.
Thats the lowest level since 2001, when
households averaged 10,535 kwh. And the
drop has occurred even though our lives are
more electried.
In the early 2000s, as energy prices rose,
more states adopted or toughened building
codes to force builders to better seal homes so
heat or air-conditioned air doesnt seep out so
fast. That means newer homes waste less ener-
gy.
Also, insulated windows and other building
technologies have dropped in price, making
retrots of existing homes more affordable.
In the wake of the nancial crisis, billions of
dollars in Recovery Act funding was directed
toward home-efciency programs.
Big appliances such as refrigerators and air
conditioners have gotten more efcient
thanks to federal energy standards that get
stricter ever few years as technology evolves.
Atypical room air conditioner one of the
biggest power hogs in the home uses 20
percent less electricity per hour of full opera-
tion than it did in 2001, according to the
Association of Home Appliance
Manufacturers.

LAS VEGAS Six states were named
Monday by federal officials to develop test
sites for drones a critical next step for
the burgeoning industry that could one day
produce thousands of unmanned aircraft for
use by businesses, farmers and researchers.
Alaska, Nevada, New York, North
Dakota, Texas and Virginia will host the
research sites, providing diverse climates,
geography and air traffic environments as
the Federal Aviation Administration seeks
to safely introduce commercial drones into
U.S. airspace.
Members of Congress and other politi-
cians lobbied intensely to bring the work
to their states. Representatives were jubi-
lant about the likelihood that the testing
will draw companies interested in cashing
in on the fledgling industry.
An industry-commissioned study has
predicted more than 70,000 jobs would
develop in the first three years after
Congress loosens drone restrictions on
U.S. skies. The same study projects an
average salary range for a drone pilot
between $85,000 and $115,000.
This is wonderful news for Nevada that
creates a huge opportunity for our econo-
my, said U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nevada.
In New York, Sen. Charles Schumer, a
Democrat, called the announcement a boon
for his state.
Drones have been mainly used by the
military, but governments, businesses,
farmers and others are making plans to
join the market. Many universities are
starting or expanding curriculum involv-
ing drones.

BEIJING China on Monday accused
Japans prime minister of hypocrisy and
said he would not be welcome in China after
he visited a shrine honoring Japans war
dead, the latest sign of worsening ties
between the two nations.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang
said that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo
Abes visit to the Yasukuni shrine in central
Tokyo had seriously hurt relations between
the countries and shut the door for dialogue
between their leaders.
Abes hypocrisy in his claims of priori-
tizing relations with China and hopes for
dialogue with the Chinese leaders has been
fully revealed, Qin said at a regular brieng.
The Chinese people do not welcome him.
Now, Abe needs to admit his mistakes to the
government and people of China, cut loose
from the past and make a new start, he said.
Abes war shrine visit and Chinas reac-
tion escalated tensions already running high
over a festering territorial dispute.
Relations sank to a new low recently after
China announced an air defense identica-
tion zone that covers a string of uninhabit-
ed East China Sea islands controlled by
Japan but also claimed by China.
Tokyo has repeatedly called for dialogue
to resolve the islands dispute. But Mondays
comments show how the shrine visit has
added another reason for China to reject
talks between President Xi Jinping and Abe
on the issue. Xi and Abe had a ve-minute
exchange on the sidelines of the G-20 sum-
mit in Russia in September.
Beijings remarks add to the steady drum-
beat of criticism that Beijing has kept up
against Abe since the shrine visit last
Thursday. Chinas foreign minister sum-
moned Japans ambassador to protest, while
other spokespeople from the foreign service
and the defense ministry issued scathing
criticisms.
Japanese politicians visits to Yasukuni
have long caused friction with China and
both Koreas, because the 2.5 million war
dead enshrined there include 14 class Awar
criminals from World War II national
leaders who were either executed or died in
prison or during their trials. Japan colo-
nized Korea and occupied parts of China,
often brutally, before and during World War
II.
They are the people who masterminded,
launched and carried out the war of aggres-
sion against China, Chinas Qin said of the
Japanese war criminals. Their hands are
covered with the blood of the victimized
peoples. They are fascists. They are the
Nazis of Asia.

CHIANG MAI, Thailand Residents of
this facility for people with Alzheimers dis-
ease toss around a yellow ball and laugh
under a cascade with their caregivers, in a
swimming pool ringed by palm trees and
wind chimes. Susanna Kuratli, once a painter
of delicate oils, swims a lap and smiles.
Watching is her husband, Ulrich, who has
a heart-rending decision: to leave his wife of
41 years in this facility 9,000 kilometers
(5,600 miles) from home, or to bring her
back to Switzerland.
Their homeland treats the elderly as well as
any nation on Earth, but Ulrich Kuratli says
the care here in northern Thailand is not only
less expensive but more personal. In
Switzerland, You have a cold, old lady who
gives you pills and tells you to go to bed, he
says.
Kuratli and his family have given them-
selves six months to decide while the retired
software developer lives alongside his 65-
year-old wife in Baan Kamlangchay
Home for Care from the Heart. Patients
live in individual houses within a Thai com-
munity, are taken to local markets, temples
and restaurants, and receive personal
around-the-clock care. The monthly
$3,800 cost is a third of what basic insti-
tutional care would cost in Switzerland.
Kuratli is not yet sure how hell care for
Susanna, who used to produce a popular
annual calendar of her paintings. But hes
leaning toward keeping her in Thailand.
Sometimes I am jealous. My wife wont
take my hand but when her Thai carer takes
it, she is calm. She seems to be happy, he
says. When she sees me she starts to cry.
Maybe she remembers how we were and
understands, but can no longer find the
words.
Relatives in Western nations are increas-
ingly confronting Kuratlis dilemma as the
number of Alzheimers patients and costs
rise, and the supply of qualified nurses and
facilities struggles to keep up. Faraway
countries are offering cheaper, and to some
minds better, care for those suffering from
the irreversible loss of memory.
The nascent trend is unnerving to some
experts who say uprooting people with
Alzheimers will add to their sense of dis-
placement and anxiety, though others say
quality of care is more important than
l ocat i on. Theres also some general
uneasiness over the idea of sending ailing
elderly people abroad: The German press
has branded it gerontological colonial-
ism.
Germany is already sending several thou-
sand sufferers, as well as the aged and other-
wise ill, to Eastern Europe, Spain, Greece and
Ukraine. Patients are even moving from
Switzerland, which was ranked No. 1 in
health care for the elderly this year in an
index compiled by the elderly advocacy
group HelpAge International and the U.N.
Population Fund.
The Philippines is offering Americans care
for $1,500 to $3,500 a month, well below
U.S. rates. About 100 Americans are current-
ly seeking care in the Philippines, says J.J.
Reyes, who is planning a retirement commu-
nity near Manila.
Facilities in Thailand also are preparing to
attract more Alzheimers sufferers. In Chiang
Mai, a pleasant city ringed by mountains,
Baan Kamlangchay will be followed by a
$10 million, holiday-like home scheduled to
open before mid-2014. Also on the way is a
small Alzheimers unit within a retirement
community set on the grounds of a former
four-star resort.
The U.K.-based Alzheimers Disease
International says there are more than 44
million Alzheimers patients globally, and
the gure is projected to triple to 135 mil-
lion by 2050.
Anumber of European countries have gen-
erous national health insurance, but these
generally do not cover treatment abroad.
Kuratli says the Swiss government would
cover two-thirds of the bill for his wifes care
if she stays in Switzerland, but since high-
end private clinics there can cost $15,000 or
more per month, he could still end up paying
more there than he would in Thailand.
Some with Alzheimers find care in far-off nations

On Oct. 17, another six-alarm re broke out
about a mile away at the Terrace Apartments at
926 Woodside Road. The re left about 75 res-
idents of the four-story building without
housing and sent four people to the hospital.
The rst caused an estimated $3.5 million in
damage.
In both cases, the older complexes predated
a 1998 law requiring sprinklers in new resi-
dential buildings. Lawsuits from the residents
involved in both blazes now number in the
dozens.
Less than a month after the residential re,
Sims Metal Management on Seaport
Boulevard had its rst of two res within a
ve-week span. Following the Nov. 10 and
Dec. 17 res, the city gave the recycling cen-
ter a list of stipulations to remain open while
various agencies investigated the cause and
Sims agreed to measures to prevent stock-
piles of unprocessed metal that could cause
future res. The facility will also keep three
qualied operators present round the clock.
The res sent smoke into the air reported as
far away as Mountain View and came amid a
lengthy stretch of Spare the Air days.
Redwood City also had notable news on the
development front for several projects in its
downtown core and with a revamped plan for
Petes Harbor. The Redwood City Council
sent the original controversial plan back to
the Planning Commission in 2013 for recon-
sideration after developer Paul Powers
redesigned his proposal for 411 units and a
commercial marina at the former oating
community.
Future development in San Carlos also got
a big change in 2013 when the City Council
approved plans for a much-scaled down
Transit Village mixed-use complex around the
existing Caltrain station.
Over in San Mateo, changing market con-
ditions pushed the Hillsdale Shopping Center
to withdraw large-scale renovation plans that
included a new Target store, open-air food
court and luxury cinema. The plan, submitted
in March but withdrawn in late November,
was meant to update the centers north block
and link it with the new Bay Meadows com-
munity.
San Mateo development also made head-
lines when the City Council in August
launched a review its Community
Development Department following what
some members called hiccups like erro-
neously permitting the controversial 7-
Eleven on San Mateo Drive. The department
also saw exits, including former director Lisa
Grote.
In March, The Tom Lantos Tunnels at
Devils Slide opened to great fanfare nearly
32 years after the late congressman secured
the rst $50 million in federal funding to
bypass the treacherous former stretch of
Highway 1 south of Pacica. Construction
started in 2006 and Lantos family was on
hand these several years later to see his pro-
posal unveiled as a reality.
Crime in the county included a drop in the
number of murders but a noticeable uptick in
crimes like vehicular manslaughter and resi-
dential burglaries that prompted police
departments to warn residents about mid-day
doorknock robberies and snake scams. A
San Bruno police ofcer fatally shot a suspect
in late October after the man allegedly drove a
stolen car at him. The case is still under
review by the District Attorneys Ofce.
In February, 35-year-old Cecilia Zamora
went missing from the San Bruno home she
shared with boyfriend Albert Antonio Trejo
and others. Her body was found April 26 at a
Pacica apartment complex and Trejo is now
charged with her fatal shooting.
The courts were also free of all but a few
notable moments. Former 49ers Kwame
Harris was tried and convicted of misde-
meanor domestic violence against an ex-
boyfriend. Former San Mateo child psychia-
trist William Hamilton Ayres was sentenced
to eight years in prison for molesting former
patients after a plea deal that ended decades of
waiting by victims and families. One former
patient during sentencing called Ayres a wolf
spider. Others just called him done.
But the biggest court case of 2013 had to be
the child pornography possession trial of
Stuart Forrest, the former chief probation
ofcer who was found with dozens of images
of young boys on his laptop. Forrest, who
capped the 2012 year with his arrest and sui-
cide attempt in late December, was convicted
and sentenced to 10 months jail and lifetime
sex offender registration after a trial in which
he personally testied that he bought the
videos and downloaded the photos as part of a
self-launched initiative to ght child pornog-
raphy. Meanwhile, the county brought in an
interim chief and ultimately hired John Keene
permanently to head the Probation
Department.
County hiring was also notable in 2013 for
the unexpected move of longtime San Mateo
Deputy Police Chief Mike Callagy from law
enforcement into a newly created deputy
county manager spot with a focus on state
criminal realignment.
The education arena was marked by 641
invalidated Advanced Placement test scores
by 286 Mills High School students after seat-
ing irregularities. The July 17 move by the
Education Testing Service sparked protests
and a lawsuit later withdrawn voluntarily by
the San Mateo Union High School District
and a parent group. ETS never accused the stu-
dents of cheating but said it launched an
investigation after a Mills student com-
plained that school personnel didnt comply
with specic seating guidelines.
In the southern part of the county, the San
Carlos Elementary School Districts $1.3
million home loan to Superintendent Craig
Baker drew re after the funds were transferred
a day before the board approved it. The dis-
trict hired a third-party investigator whose
report is pending and former board president
Beth Hunkapiller resigned out of frustration
there was not a fuller review and timeline of
the loan process.
In the November election, voters defeated
Measure P, a $130 million bond proposal that
would have added capacity in the San Mateo-
Foster City Elementary School District.
In that same election, Burlingame voters
had a nail-biting City Council race with
Ricardo Ortiz beating out Russ Cohen by a
mere eight votes. The two candidates went
back and forth for days after the election but
ultimately fell in Ortizs favor and Cohen
opted against a recount.
Millbrae City Council got a fresh face
very fresh indeed when 25-year-old Reuben
Holober was elected to ll one of two open
seats. One seat was left vacant after the death
of his mother, councilwoman Nadia Holober.
He is also the son of Richard Holober, a long-
time member of the San Mateo County
Community College District Board of
Trustees.
Speaking of elections, San Mateo County
in 2013 dovetailed off of two of the previous
years big governmental news: the charter
change moving from countywide to district
supervisorial elections and the passage of
half-cent sales tax Measure A. In October, fol-
lowing months of public workshops and
dozens of proposed boundary maps, the
Board of Supervisors nalized lines that split
four cities and keeps District Five in the
northern end of the county as a majority-
minority Asian-American district. The super-
visors also held several hearings to determine
how to allocate the annual sales tax revenue.
Venture capitalist Tim Draper continued
expanding his university offerings in down-
town San Mateo in 2013 but also made state
and national news right before the Christmas
holidays by launching a state initiative to
split California into six smaller states.
Draper will spend 2014 collecting about a
million signatures to qualify for the
November ballot. He argues the plan will
reconnect residents and better serve them.
Some of the years stories were also contin-
uations of years past, among them the battle
over high-speed rail. Peninsula cities, like
Burlingame, started January debating asking
voters to reconsider the 2008 approval and,
by the end of the year, high-prole lawsuits
had its future in doubt and other transit agen-
cies like Caltrain scrambling to assure the
public that electrication was still on regard-
less.
Gas pipeline safety, the California Public
Utilities Commission and distrust of Pacic
Gas and Electric also continued in 2013.
Lingering fears that began with the deadly
San Bruno explosion and re of 2011 peaked
in October when the city of San Carlos
declared a state of emergency after learning
about November 2012 emails in which a
PG&E engineer questioning the safety of the
84-year-old gas transmission Line 147 which
runs parallel to Brittan Avenue. The former
engineer suggested the city could be another
San Bruno situation in reference to the Sept.
9, 2010, gas line explosion and re that
killed eight, injured dozens and destroyed 38
homes. The engineer also questioned if
hydrotesting in 2011 exacerbated cracking.

OPINION 9
Divide-and-conquer agenda
Editor,
Good grief. Your headline screams
out: Draper Seeks Six Californias
(Tim Draper seeks Six
Californias: New initiative calls for
dividing state into six sections in
the Dec. 21 issue of the Daily
Journal), which is tantamount to
promoting more corporate abuse of
our long established progressive
initiative process.
Why only six? Why not 10, or
maybe 12? Instead of packing the
U.S. Senate with only a few more
Republicans from our poorer red
counties they might even garner a
bakers dozen in both houses.
Unwilling to lose an honest elec-
tion, the GOP has resorted to petty
chicanery such as gerrymandering
district lines, restricting registra-
tion or voting times and voter IDs ,
etc., etc., ad nausea.
Breaking California into mini-
states is a typical weapon of their
divide-and-conquer agenda.
Obviously, Mr. Draper doesnt seem
to have been educated here or has
probably forgotten that some of
these political subdivisions and
their lobbyists, like the Redwood
Empire and the Inland Empire, have
been in existence long before he
was born. I urge all of our think-
ing fellow Californians to reject
this psycho-babble.

Have we evolved
or devolved as a nation?
Editor,
Have we evolved or devolved as a
nation?
At one time, we the people sub-
mitted our cause through the U.S.
Declaration of Independence and
U.S. Constitution. Our modern elec-
tion and complex legislation has
made us hostages by our elected rep-
resentatives and their legislation.
As enunciated by House of
Representatives Nancy Pelosi, we
must first vote for it before we can
know what it is. She also informed
the president to just do it, mean-
ing legislate the congressional leg-
islation to make it work. This can
best be demonstrated by the
Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)
waivers to unions, large and small
businesses like McDonalds, extend-
ing deadlines and their base data
where millions of Americans have
lost their insurance or their policies
not the minimum ACA requirements.
And dont forget that certain mem-
bers of government (elected or
appointed) do not have to buy into
the new health care system. If its
good enough for us its also good
enough for the legislative assis-
tants.
Lets not forget our governments
failure to impose immigration
reform, allowing state governments
to waive DREAM provisions and
reduce deportation that is in flux
across state boundaries. We dont
even have a national budget, but
resort to sequestration.

Letters to the editor
By Rod Hsiao
W
hile many of us are slip-
ping into holiday vacation
mode, other families with
rising high school freshmen anxious-
ly await Jan. 8 when they can begin
enrolling in San Mateo Union high
schools for next fall.
Last year, pressure was intense
among tiger moms and dads to get
their kids into Mills High School in
Millbrae. When Asian students were
denied enrollment in the school,
charges of discrimination were lev-
eled at the district which resulted in a
federal civil rights investigation by
the U.S. Department of Education. In
April, the investigators cleared the
district of any discrimination. No sur-
prise there: The Asian resident popu-
lation in the city of Millbrae is 43
percent, and the Academic
Performance Index student population
at Mills is even higher at 53 percent.
So if anything, there was a dispropor-
tionate high representation of Asians
at Mills.
But what drives this intense compe-
tition to get into Mills? Parents often
point to the API score, one of the few
yardsticks that can be used to compare
schools. But one might ask if this is
the right metric to
use to size up a
school? Does the
API really reect
the best school for
their student?
The good news is
that students in the
San Mateo Union
High School
District have many excellent choices
to pick from whether you use the API
or other metrics.
First of all, if you really want to
rely on API scores to decide, in the
most recent school year 2012013,
Burlingame actually tied with Mills
High School at 868, and Aragon was
not far behind at 845.
But if one were to ask which school
best prepares my child to do college-
level work you might look at the
University of California writing
requirement results which ensures that
students can communicate and form
critical arguments. Eighty percent of
graduates from Burlingame, Aragon
and Hillsdale high schools that
entered a UC school met the require-
ment, and Mills was respectable at 75
percent but still came in last among
the districts comprehensive high
schools.
Also consider how many students
took Advanced Placement tests and
their pass rates to get college credit.
Aragon, Burlingame and San Mateo
high schools all had a higher percent-
age of their students taking AP tests,
about 30 percent, while Mills was 26
percent. If you care about science and
math pass rates, Aragon and
Burlingame had higher pass rates than
Mills in biology and calculus, while
Mills led in chemistry and physics B.
Theres no doubt that Mills is a ne
high school. But in the spirit of low-
ering the excessive pressure to get
into this one school, parents should
realize that there are other schools
with extraordinary teachers and stu-
dent bodies that should warrant a clos-
er look for their students. You have
excellent schools from which to
choose so have another cup of cocoa
and relax!

Mateo County Board of Education. He

Clear resolution
T
oday, I resolve to do many things. True, the rest
of the world except for those of course
whove snarkily resolved to swear off resolu-
tions will wait until Jan. 1 to launch into the annual
ritual known as Feebly trying to change habits
ingrained over several years with a strong dose of
willpower and the drunken vows of last nights toast.
In some parts, this ceremony is also known as tithing
to the gym because most of the money committed to
the annual membership will be doled out in monthly
increments long after the motivation to climb stairs on
a stationary machine has passed.
However, this year I
am taking a different
path and tackling a
laundry list of resolu-
tions New Years Eve
instead if for no other
reason than to have
several options
Wednesday when
exhaustion, dehydra-
tion or simple day-
after regret lead me to
the road of self-
improvement.
So today, I vow to
ingest as many empty
calories as possible.
Bring on the lingering
holiday sweets, the
trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, anything smoth-
ered in sauce and a large helping of shortening. Jan. 1,
2014, might be the day for perusing the McDonalds
McResource employee website for helpful nutritional
tips key among them, dont eat cheeseburgers and
French fries but today Id like to supersize my size.
Besides, after receiving flak for offering tone-deaf
advice about how its low-wage earning workers should
tip an au pair or pool cleaner, the company closed the
site down.
I also plan today to take up smoking. Certainly a
childhood of second-hand smoke from Marlboro-loving
parents did keep any real desire to light up from ever
catching fire in me but with the growing popularity and
publicity of vaping there just might be a Wednesday
resolution hidden somewhere among the flavored nico-
tine juice. Besides, I can always just claim that I
thought I was signing up to be vapid. There are certain-
ly days when I already have that quality down.
Just in time for a 2014 commitment to fiscal pru-
dence, I better get some retail therapy out of the way
stat. Target seems a good choice if only so that I can
feel like Im also risking my identity and can also vow
to better protect my personal security. Two resolutions,
one debit card. Done!
Liquor is a no-brainer vice but Id better first make
sure my better half is also ready to drain a bottle or
two. Anew study shows that couples with compatible
drinking habits are less likely to break up. Or maybe
less likely to end up in jail. ASouth Carolina woman
allegedly beat down and stabbed a man with a ceramic
squirrel when he failed to come home with beer on
Christmas Eve because the stores were closed. Perhaps
she was gunning for an anger management resolution
tomorrow.
All of my language choices today will hopefully be if
not quite short than at least nothing beyond a fifth-
grade reading level. Id shoot for monosyllabic but that
wont ensure mass understanding as qat, xi and a
host of other two-letter words that through the power of
Scrabble and Words With Friends Ive learned actually
exist. Tomorrow, I will bother to bolster my vocabulary
by looking up all those verbal and written oddities
rather than just being amazed they are accepted by the
smartphone application after all, the phone is the
one in this relationship that is supposedly smart. But
today my resolution is all about sentences with one
noun, one verb and nothing compound and words that
might just as well be thingy or doohickey.
Maybe today Ill also resolve to be apathetic about
global warming, health care, meditation, positive atti-
tudes, cholesterol, car maintenance, daily dog walking,
morning breakfasts and that treadmill-turned-clothes-
rack in the spare room corner.
Today I will have resolve about them because tomor-
row, when it comes time to actually commit to their
reversal, it is very likely I wont .

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK The stock market
ended a quiet Monday mostly where it
began as investors shut their books
for what has been an extraordinary
year on Wall Street.
Traders had little corporate or eco-
nomic news to work through. The
bond market was quiet as well. The
yield on the benchmark 10-year
Treasury note continued to hover near
3 percent.
The Dow Jones industrial average
moved less than 30 points the entire
day, the narrowest range for the index
since February 2007. Approximately
2.3 billion shares changed hands on
the New York Stock Exchange, 40 per-
cent less than average.
The Dow ended the day up 25.88
points, or 0.2 percent, to 16,504.29.
The very narrow range reects that
theres not a lot of news out there and
a lot of investors positions are closed
for the year, said Alec Young, chief
global strategist with S&P Capital IQ.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
fell less than a point to 1,841.07 and
the technology-heavy Nasdaq com-
posite fell 2.39 points, or 0.1 per-
cent, to 4,154.20.
Walt Disney rose $1.88, or 3 per-
cent, to $76.23, the most in the S&P
500. Analysts at Guggenhiem
Securities upgraded Disneys stock to
a buy from a hold on Friday.
With just one trading day left in the
year, 2013 is looking to be a memo-
rable one for investors. The S&P 500
is up 29.1 percent so far, on pace for
its best year since 1997. The Dow is
up 26 percent, the most since 1996.
With 2013 in the books, investors
have turned their attention to the
beginning of 2014. Few expect next
year to be as good to investors as
2013 was.
After a year like this, people start
to think a 30 percent-plus year is nor-
mal, said Ron Florance, deputy chief
investment officer for Wells Fargo
Private Bank. We need to be realistic
going into next year.
The next big piece of news
investors will have to work through
will be the December jobs report,
which will be released Jan. 10. There
is also corporate earnings season,
which will start in the second half of
January. Corporate earnings will be
important, particularly since this
upcoming season will encompass the
closely watched holiday shopping
period.
The market is rallying on the idea
that economic growth is picking up
globally and in the U.S., so investors
need to see those expectations
matched, Young said.
Bond yields continue to tread water
around the 3 percent level. The yield
on the U.S. 10-year note fell to 2.98
percent Monday from 3 percent
Friday.
The market is expected to be a hold-
ing pattern until next week, once all
the mid-week holiday disruptions are
over, Florance said. Both the NYSE
and the Nasdaq Stock Market will be
closed Wednesday for New Years Day.
In overseas markets, Japans Nikkei
stock index closed higher for a ninth
straight day Monday. The index ended
2013 up 57 percent. Japanese markets
will be closed Tuesday for New Years
Eve.
Stocks barely budge in end-of-year trading
After a year like this, people start
to think a 30 percent-plus year is normal. ...
We need to be realistic going into next year.

Netflix ends anti-takeover
measure two years early
LOS GATOS Netix says its ending a move meant to
help ward off hostile takeovers almost two years early.
The online video company adopted the shareholder rights
plan, also known as a poison pill, in November 2012 after
activist investor Carl Icahn disclosed a stake of almost 10
percent in the company.
The poison pill was scheduled to expire in November
2015, but the company terminated it effective Monday.
According to FactSet, Icahn now owns a 4.5 percent stake

Samsung sells 110-inch
ultra-HD TV for $150,000
SEOUL, South Korea Samsung said a 110-inch TV that
has four times the resolution of standard high-denition
TVs is going on sale for about $150,000 in South Korea.
The launch Monday of the giant television set reects
global TV makers move toward ultra HD TVs, as manufac-
turing bigger TVs using OLED proves too costly.
Last year, Samsung and rival LG Electronics, the worlds
top two TV makers, touted OLED as the future of TV. OLED
screens are ultrathin and can display images with enhanced
clarity and deeper color saturation.
Business briefs
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON The number of
Americans who signed contracts to
buy existing homes in November was
essentially unchanged from October,
suggesting sales are stabilizing after
several months of declines.
The National Association of
Realtors said Monday that its season-
ally adjusted pending home sales index
ticked up to 101.7 from 101.5 in
October. The October figure was
revised lower from an initial reading of
102. 1.
Higher mortgage rates and strong
price gains over the past two years
have slowed sales. The pending home
sales index had fallen for ve straight
months before November. And com-
pleted sales of existing homes fell for
three straight months, the Realtors
said earlier this month.
There is generally a one- to two-
month lag between a signed contract
and a completed sale.
The average interest rate on a 30-
year mortgage edged higher to 4.48
percent last week, from 4.47 percent
the previous week. Rates jumped about
1.25 percentage points from May
through September, peaking at 4.6
percent. That increase occurred after
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke indicated that the Fed would
start to slow its bond-buying program
before the end of the year.
Earlier this month, the Fed
announced it will reduce its $85 bil-
lion in monthly bond purchases by
$10 billion a month starting in
January. The bond purchases are
intended to push down longer-term
interest rates and encourage more bor-
rowing and spending.
Robert Kavcic, an economist at
BMO Capital Markets, said that recent
housing market indicators have been
mixed. Applications for mortgages to
purchase homes fell to a nearly two-
year low last week, he said.
Still, we continue to believe that
the U.S. housing market will absorb
the upward move in mortgage rates and
push higher in 2014, helped by still-
attractive affordability, better job
growth and improved condence in the
recovery, Kavcic said.
Despite the recent declines, home re-
sales should reach 5.1 million in
2013, the best total in seven years, the
Realtors forecast. Thats 10 percent
higher than 2012s total of almost 4.7
million. But its still below the 5.5
million that is consistent with a
healthy housing market.
The Realtors forecast that sales will
remain largely at in 2014 and then
rise to 5.3 million in 2015. Steady job
gains should make it easier for more
people to buy homes. And mortgage
rates remain low by historical stan-
dards.
Signed contracts to buy U.S. homes level off
By Stephen Ohlemacher
WASHINGTON In an almost annual rit-
ual, Congress is letting a package of 55
popular tax breaks expire at the end of the
year, creating uncertainty once again
for millions of individuals and businesses.
Lawmakers let these tax breaks lapse
almost every year, even though they save
businesses and individuals billions of dol-
lars. And almost every year, Congress even-
tually renews them, retroactively, so tax-
payers can claim them by the time they le
their tax returns.
No harm, no foul, right? After all, taxpay-
ers ling returns in the spring wont be hurt
because the tax breaks were in effect for
2013. Taxpayers wont be hit until 2015,
when they le tax returns for next year.
Not so far. Trade groups and tax experts
complain that Congress is making it
impossible for businesses and individuals
to plan for the future. What if lawmakers
dont renew the tax break you depend on? Or
what if they change it and youre no longer
eligible?
Its a totally ridiculous way to run our tax
system, said Rachelle Bernstein, vice
president and tax counsel for the National
Retail Federation. Its impossible to plan
when every year this happens, but yet busi-
ness has gotten used to that.
Some of the tax breaks are big, including
billions in credits for companies that
invest in research and development, gener-
ous exemptions for nancial institutions
doing business overseas, and several breaks
that let businesses write off capital invest-
ments faster.
Others are more obscure, the benets tar-
geted to lm producers, race track owners,
makers of electric motorcycles and teachers
who buy classroom supplies with their own
money.
There are tax rebates to Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands from a tax on rum import-
ed into the United States, and a credit for
expenses related to railroad track mainte-
nance.
Adeduction for state and local sales taxes
benets people who live in the nine states
without state income taxes. Smaller tax
breaks benet college students and com-
muters who use public transportation.
Aseries of tax breaks promote renewable
energy, including a credit for power compa-
nies that produce electricity with wind-
mills.
The annual practice of letting these tax
breaks expire is a symptom a divided, dys-
functional Congress that struggles to pass
routine legislation, said Rep. John Lewis of
Georgia, a senior Democrat on the tax-writ-
ing House Ways and Means Committee.
Its not fair, its very hard, its very dif-
cult for a business person, a company, to
plan, not just for the short term but to do
long-term planning, Lewis said. Its
shameful.
With Congress on vacation until January,
there is no chance the tax breaks will be
renewed before they expire. And there is
plenty of precedent for Congress to let them
expire for months without addressing them.
Most recently, they expired at the end of
2011, and Congress didnt renew them for
the entire year, waiting until New Years
Day 2013 just in time for taxpayers to
claim them on their 2012 returns.
But Congress only renewed the package
though the end of 2013.
Why such a short extension? Washington
accounting is partly to blame. The two-year
extension Congress passed in January cost
$76 billion in reduced revenue for the gov-
ernment, according to the nonpartisan
Joint Committee on Taxation. Making
those tax breaks permanent could add $400
billion or more to the decit over the next
decade.
With budget decits already high, many
in Congress are reluctant to vote for a bill
that would add so much red ink. So, they do
it slowly, one or two years at time.
More cynically, some people say, if you
just put it in for a year or two, then that
keeps the lobbyists having to come back
and wine-and-dine the congressmen to get it
extended again, and maybe make some cam-
paign contributions, said Mark Luscombe,
principal tax analyst for CCH, a consulting
rm based in Riverwoods, Ill.
This year, the package of tax breaks has
been caught up in a debate about overhaul-
ing the entire tax code. The two top tax
writers in Congress House Ways and
Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp,
R-Mich., and Senate Finance Committee
Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont. have
been pushing to simplify the tax code by
reducing tax breaks and using the additional
revenue to lower overall tax rates.
But their efforts have yet to bear fruit,
leaving both tax reform and the package of
temporary breaks in limbo. When asked
how businesses should prepare, given the
uncertainty, Camp said: They need to get
on board with tax reform, thats what they
need to do.

OLYMPICS ON HIGH ALERT: BOMBINGS IN RUSSIA HAVE ATHLETES WONDERING HOW SAFE SOCHI IS >> PAGE 13
A
nyone who follows football on
the Peninsula knows the story of
Tom Brady the former Serra
standout who has put together a hall-of-
fame career as the New England Patriots
quarterback.
But Brady was
not the only
player with
Peninsula roots
to have a big sea-
son in 2013. One
had a breakout
performance that
secured his spot
among the best
the game, while
two others just
nished up regu-
lar seasons that
bode well for
their futures.
Julian Edelman (2005 Woodsi de,
New England Patriots WR)
Other than Brady who ironically is
Edelmans quarterback in New England
Edelman has experienced the greatest
amount of success of anyone drafted out
of the Peninsula in the last 20 years.
Sunday, Edelman became just the third
receiver in New England Patriots history
to catch 100 passes in a season and 10th
to go over the 1,000-yard mark. His
nine-catch, 65-yard performance during a
34-20 win over Buffalo gave Edelman
105 receptions for 1,056 yards for the
season.
Not bad for a kid out of Redwood City
who made his name as a quarterback.
Edelman used his arm and his legs to lead
Woodside to the 2004 Central Coast
Section Medium School championship.
He earned the starting quarterback spot at
College of San Mateo as a freshman the
following season and led the Bulldogs to
an 8-3 record, combining to run and pass
for more than 2,500 yards.
He transferred to Kent State for the
2006 season and went on to become a

ALAMEDA Dennis Allen met
with the Oakland Raiders players as a
team and individually and talked
about his vision for turning the fran-
chise around after a second straight
four-win season.
Even with no ofcial word yet from
owner Mark Davis, Allen is sure act-
ing like a coach who will be back in
Oakland for a third season.
Ive been given the indication that
Ill be back but I think it will be
important for me and Mark to be able
to sit down and communicate and talk
about the things that we need to talk
about, Allen said Monday. But I
have every intention of being back.
Allen said he
has already met
with general
manager Reggie
McKenzie about
plans for the
future and will
meet soon with
Davis to talk
about how he
plans to turn
around the team.
Im sure theres a lot of things that
he wants to talk to me about, theres
things that I want to be able to talk to
him about, and those will be things
that well communicate on and well
move forward from there, Allen said.

SANTA CLARA That familiar
Quest for Six slogan has re-
emerged.
The San Francisco 49ers have
acknowledged for months that the
road back to the Super Bowl to chase
a sixth championship would be a
daunting one. Now, they have to hit
the road, literally a different path
than San Francisco had the past two
seasons as NFC West champions
with a rst-round bye and hosting
home games.
The No. 5 seed Niners (12-4) are
riding some important momentum
with a six-game winning streak.
They head for the bitter cold of Green
Bay to play Sunday against the
Packers (8-7-1), who have lost the
past three meetings in what has
become quite a rivalry.
Coach Jim
Harbaugh isnt
ready to call it so
yet, however,
only that this is
a matchup with a
talented football
team he respects.
In terms of a
challenge, our
guys know the
challenge, Harbaugh said Monday.
Being in the playoffs is a chance at
the ultimate chance. I dont know if
theres a different way to speak about
the ballgame, the approach is that
were going to be playing at
Lambeau Field next Sunday.
The 49ers recent run of success
against Green Bay includes a 45-31
NFC divisional playoff victory last
January at Candlestick Park in which
Colin Kaepernick rushed for a quar-
terback playoff-record 181 yards in a
sensational postseason debut.
San Francisco also beat Green Bay
in each of the past two season open-
ers, 30-22 at Lambeau Field in 2012
and 34-28 this past September at
Candlestick to kick off the stadiums
farewell year.
While the 49ers can learn plenty
from those games, the Niners are
most concerned with improving in
several areas while staying on this
nice roll.
Ive noticed in this league every-
one bases it on your last four quarters
of play, thats very much how youre
playing at the moment, Harbaugh
said. That will be judged this week.
I like our team very much in the
regard that theyre a very competi-
tive group. Theyre ery competi-
tors.

Notre Dame-Belmont girls basketball
coach Josh Davenport can never be accused
of stacking the Steve Geramoni
Invitationals odds in his teams favor, as
evidenced by the fact the Tigers have not
won their own tournament in what
Davenport estimates to be nine or 10 years.
The fact the Tigers faced Moreau Catholic
a North Coast Section and Northern
California Division IV power in the
nals of the tournament Monday night rein-
forces that point.
Notre Dame-Belmont will have to add
another year to its tournament drought as
the Mariners took down the Tigers 44-27.
Notre Dame (7-3 overall) has no one to
blame but itself. The Tigers committed 20
turnovers and Moreau came up with 12
steals. It was especially bad in the second
half as the Tigers had as many points as
turnovers 10.
Youre not going to win many games
turning the ball over that much, even if we
shoot 75 percent, which we didnt ,
Davenport said. Thats what were trying to
gure out. Was it us? Were we too amped up?
We were a little panicky and turned the ball
over too much.
The Tigers had no answer for Moreau for-
ward Haley Joly, the tournament MVP who
scored a game-high 20 points, scoring all
10 of her teams third-quarter points.
Notre Dame was led by Emma Pastorino,
who nished with eight points. Samantha
Requilman added seven in the loss for the
Tigers.
This (Moreau) team could compete in our
league (the West Catholic Athletic League),
Davenport said.
Things started decently for the Tigers.
After Joly hit a pair of free throws to open
the scoring, Notre Dame got back-to-back
3-pointers from Pastornio and Requilman to
put the Tigers up 6-2.
It would the Tigers only lead of the game.
Moreau (8-2) responded with a 9-0 run to
take an 11-6 lead with 44 seconds left in the
rst quarter and led 11-8 going into the sec-
ond period.
The Mariners continued their hot play as
they opened the second with a 7-2 run to

The suicide bombings in Russia serve as a
chilling reminder of what the Winter
Olympics represent to terrorists: Ahigh-pro-
le target with more than 2,500 athletes,
some of them world-famous, waving the ags
of nearly 90 nations.
So, while many Olympic leaders offered
reassurance on the day after two bombings
400 miles from Sochi killed at least 31 peo-
ple, some of those getting ready to compete
in the Games spoke of a different reality.
They know their security is never sure thing.
I am concerned, said U.S. speedskater
Jilleanne Rookard. Im scared their security
may be involved. I dont know if I necessari-
ly trust their security forces. But they dont
want a national embarrassment, either. I use
that thought to relieve some of my worry.
Im sure they want to save their image and
their pride.
Indeed, the Russians vow the athletes will
be safe, even though they will be competing
in a city 300 miles away from the roots of an
Islamist insurgency that has triggered securi-
ty concerns for the Games, which start Feb.
7.
The country has spent a record $51 billion
preparing for its rst Winter Games and has
promised to make the Games the safest in
Olympic history.
Olympic chief Alexander Zhukov said the
bombings didnt spark a need for additional
security measures because everything nec-
essary already has been done.
Swedish hockey player Johan Franzen of
the Red Wings sees things a little differently.
Im sure after this, the security will be
higher than they intended from the start, he
said.
The threat of terrorism at the Olympics has
been in the forefront since 1972, when mem-
bers of a Palestinian terrorist group invaded
the Olympic village and killed 11 Israeli ath-
letes.
Security rose to a new level at the 2002
Salt Lake City Games, which came only ve
months after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Improvements in technology, along with
ever-present threats of terrorism, have turned
security into a top priority for any country
hoping to host the Olympics.
Among the security measures Russia has
put in place for this years games is a require-
ment that all ticketholders obtain and wear
spectator passes while attending events.
To get a spectator pass, fans have to provide
passport and contact information to authori-
ties.

Olympic concerns
Tim Tebow joins
SEC Network, still pursuing NFL
ATLANTA Tim Tebow has his next foot-
ball job talking about the sport on TV.
The Heisman Trophy winner has been
hired as a college football analyst for the
new SEC Network in a return to his Florida
glory days, but he still hopes to play quar-
terback in the NFL.
Tebow will appear on SEC Nation, a
pregame show that will travel to a different
campus each week after the channel launches
in August. The multiyear deal will not pre-
clude him from continuing to pursue playing
opportunities in the NFL, ESPN, which
runs the network, said in a statement
Monday.
Tebow did not play in the league in 2013
after he was cut by the Patriots in August. In
the span of just over one season, he went
from a national sensation who led the
Denver Broncos to the playoffs, to a back-
up, to out of the NFL.
While I continue to pursue my dream of
playing quarterback in the NFL, this is an
amazing opportunity to be part of the unpar-
alleled passion of college football and the
SEC, Tebow said in a statement released by
ESPN.
ESPN senior vice president Justin
Connolly called Tebow an SEC icon with a
national fan base and broad appeal.
Tebow will make his ESPN debut during
pregame coverage of the BCS championship
Jan. 6.
After winning the 2007 Heisman and two
national championships for the Gators in
the SEC, Tebow became one of the biggest
stories in the NFL in his second season. He
went 7-1 in his rst eight starts in 2011 then
threw an 80-yard touchdown pass on the rst
play of overtime to give the Broncos a 29-
23 playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sports brief
By Greg Beacham
LOS ANGELES Stanfords David Shaw
and Michigan States Mark Dantonio have
built powerhouse teams over the last few
years, and so far theyve both stuck around
when bigger football powers with deeper
pockets came calling.
When the Spartans and Cardinal clash in
the 100th edition of the Rose Bowl on
Wednesday, Dantonio and Shaw will demon-
strate the power of persistence in building a
winner.
Shaw usually just chuckles when hes con-
nected with head coaching vacancies in the
NFL or at the nations top college pro-
grams.
To be honest, its unbelievably atter-
ing, he said Monday. I think its really
cool.
In his own understated way, Dantonio
takes the same approach to their unpre-
dictable profession.
When we came here seven years ago, we
made a statement this is where we wanted to
come, Dantonio said. Were here now.
Weve accomplished that goal. Now we need
to gure out, do we belong? Thats another
opportunity, statement, challenge.
Both coaches have turned themselves into
valuable properties by building formidable
programs and then staying at two
schools sometimes considered stepping
stones instead of destinations.
Shaw is 34-6 in three seasons in charge at
Stanford, banking two Pac-12 titles during
the remarkable renaissance created along-
side departed coach Jim Harbaugh. Dantonio
is 63-29 at Michigan State since 2007, win-
ning at least 11 games in three of his last
four seasons.
Such success quickly leads to higher-pro-
le opportunities, and other winning coach-
es at both schools have used these jobs as
springboards to big money and power.
Tyrone Willingham turned a moderately suc-
cessful tenure at Stanford into the Notre
Dame job in late 2001, while Nick Saban
infamously left Michigan State for LSU
shortly before the Spartans bowl game in
late 1999.
But when Shaw and Dantonio are asked
about their own desirability, both coaches
play it off with a combination of amusement
and outspoken loyalty to the schools that
put them in this position.
Shaw has been a part of four straight trips
to BCS bowls an unthinkable standard
just a few years earlier at the academic
dynamo better known for Nobel Prizes than
football trophies. Shaw isnt offended by
the attention he receives from other
schools, but he also has never sounded terri-
bly interested in leaving his alma mater.
He appeared at the top of many Southern
California fans wish lists earlier this
month, but openly laughed at the notion of
moving south.
I dont mind it, (but) I have no desires to

open up an 18-10 advantage with 4:21 to
play in the rst half. Notre Dame continue
to struggle handling the ball and the bigger,
taller Mariners took advantage and a 23-17
lead into halftime.
The game was lost for the Tigers in third
quarter. Notre Dame attempted just four
shots in the period and turned the ball over
ve times. The Tigers would have been shut
out in the third quarter if not for a pair of
Pastorino free throws with 17 seconds left
that cut the Tigers decit to 31-19.
It was more of the same in the fourth quar-
ter as the Tigers connected on only 2 of 11
shot attempts, scoring just eight points to
give then a second-half total of 10 points.
Moreau, meanwhile, scored 21 points in
the second half, on top of the 23 the
Mariners scored in the rst half.
While his team came up short, Davenport
was at least glad to get some early prepara-
tion for the upcoming WCAL season.
Im absolutely ecstatic to play a team
like that. It gives us a measuring stick,
Davenport said. The kids are playing pret-
ty well. We havent faced a team like that
yet.
Third-place game
Hillsdale gave Northgate everything it
had in the third-place game of the Steve
Geramoni Invitational, but the Broncos
held on for a 36-33 win.
Hillsdale was led by Emily Nepomuceno,
who scored 10 points. Louisa Bevilacqua
added eight points. C.C. Cueno led the
Broncos with 10 points.
Hillsdale scored the rst two buckets of
the game for a quick 4-0 lead, but that was
erased by a 7-0 Northgate run and the
Knights found themselves trailing 12-11
after one quarter.
An Emily Lyons bucket gave the lead back
to Hillsdale to start the second quarter, but
the Knights managed only one more point
the rest of the period as they found them-
selves down 19-14 at halftime.
Hillsdale outscored Northgate 11-7 in the
third period and cut its decit to one point,
26-25, on a Nepomuceno 3-pointer at the
quarter buzzer.
That seemed to spark the Knights. Rachiel
Tjans bucket off the drive through the paint
gave the Knights their last lead of the game,
27-26, but Northgate answered with a 8-2
run to take a 34-29 lead. Hillsdale cut the
decit to one, 34-33, following a pair of
Adesia Cotton free throws, but Danielle
Arauzos bucket with 21 seconds left extend-
ed the Broncos lead to 36-33.
Hillsdale had a chance to tie it, but turned
the ball over with three seconds to play
without getting a shot off.

the third quarter, during which the Wildcats
outscored the Spartans 12-5 to take a 34-27
lead into the nal eight minutes.
The last quarter turned into a scoring fest
as the teams combined for 33 points, with
Mountain View outscoring Woodside 18-15

pursue another job, said Shaw,
who has nine years of NFL coach-
ing experience. I have not and
dont plan on interviewing with
anybody. I think its really nice
that my name gets batted around ...
but honestly, Im looking forward
to playing this game and getting
into the offseason and starting to
put together another winning sea-
son next year.
Michigan State athletic director
Mark Hollis already has discussed
a raise with Dantonio, who has
appeared on speculative lists of
candidates for Texas vacancy.
Hollis also plans to bump the pay
of Dantonios assistant coaches.
Although he claims to be at-
tered by the idea of his candidacy
elsewhere, Dantonio said hes
happy with the impressive pro-
gram he has built in East Lansing.
The coaches share more than
loyalty. Stanford and Michigan
State both embrace hard-nosed,
run-rst football with suffocating
defenses led by coordinators Derek
Mason and Pat Narduzzi two ris-
ing coaches who might be better
candidates for new jobs than their
bosses.
Shaw respects Dantonio for his
handling of starting middle line-
backer Max Bullough, who wont
play in the Rose Bowl after a rules
violation. Shaw thought back to
his painful decision two years ago
to suspend Shayne Skov for a
game after the star linebacker was
arrested.
Theres a guy thats very simi-
lar, Shaw said. Your game-day
leader, your middle linebacker, the
guy that sets your defense, the guy
that tells everybody what to do.
Being a head coach, its your
responsibility. Actions like that,
as a head coach, even help you in
your locker room because guys
know where the line is and they
know that nobody is bigger than
the program.
I applaud Coach Dantonio for
that, because it doesnt happen
everywhere. There are a lot of
places where you get a slap on the
wrist and they bench you for a
practice, and then play you in the
game.
Dantonio said Kyler Elsworth is
likely to start at middle linebacker
in Bulloughs place, but Darien
Harris also will play the position.
Bulloughs replacements will keep
his on-field responsibilities,
including checking down on cer-
tain plays.

Portland (8-6, 0-2) later answered

But Santa Clara answered with a 10-
3 run and made eight free throws in
the nal 2 minutes.
The Broncos shot 12 of 23 from
3-point range and Roquemore was 5

Santa Clara the lead for good at 28-

the slight mental edge.
He got the best of linebacker Clay
Matthews in the last meeting. After Matthews
said leading up to the game that the Packers
spent a large portion of their offseason work-
ing to stop Kaepernick and the read option, he
lost his cool with a late, out-of-bounds hit on
the third-year quarterback in the second quarter
back in September.
Afterward, Kaepernick offered this parting
shot: If intimidation is your game plan, I
hope you have a better one.
Green Bay is a completely different team
than the team we saw in Week 1, as we are,
wide receiver Anquan Boldin said. For us, we
would like to carry that momentum. We are in
a six-game winning streak.
And if the 49ers get through the wild-card
round they could be headed to the Pacic
Northwest for another highly anticipated date
with the nemesis Seattle Seahawks, who
grabbed the division crown away from the bay
this year.
I think we are showing ght, linebacker
NaVorro Bowman said. None of the games are
going to be easy. The scenarios are going to
be tight and a lot of teams had a chance to be
in the playoffs. So as a team we are showing
ght, we are showing grit, we are staying
focused. Teams are going to make plays but
the teams that prevail through adversity and
not let things distract them, those are the
great teams and we are doing that right now.
While Harbaugh hadnt yet spoken to big
brother, John, whose Ravens beat the Niners
34-31 in the Super Bowl then missed the play-
offs, he understands how eeting these oppor-
tunities can be.
I think we all understand the wonderful
opportunity we have to be in the playoffs. We
take it very seriously, Harbaugh said.
The 49ers insist the chill factor wont be a
factor at all.
Its the Super Bowl on the line, coldness
goes out the window, Bowman said. You
want to be great. You want to be remembered.
These are the games that you are remembered
in the teams that fought no matter the tem-
perature or situation. Were prepared. This
team is going to Green Bay weve done it
before.

three-year starter at quarterback before being
drafted in the seventh round as a wide receiver
in the 2009 draft by the Patriots.
People have wondered how the Patriots
could done so well this season, given their
dearth of wide receivers. The answer is
Edelman, who has quietly become one of the
top receivers in the NFL.
Paul Fanaika (2004, Mills, Arizona
Cardinals RG)
Lightly recruited out of Mills, Fanaika just
continued to work, eventually earning a col-
lege scholarship and parlaying that into a
starting spot with an NFLteam.
Fanaika was drafted in
the same class as Edelman
in 2009 by the
Philadelphia Eagles. He
was out of the league in
2012 after bouncing
around between the
Eagles, Washington
Redskins, Cleveland
Browns and Seattle
Seahawks practice squads.
He made three appearances for the Seahawks
in 2011, but was released in the summer of
2012 and never signed with another team.
This spring, Fanaika hooked on with
Arizona, seized the starting right guard spot
and never relinquished it, starting all 16
games for the Cardinals this season.
Just another example of a guy keeping his
eye on the prize. After going to Arizona State
as a recruited walk-on, he
improved enough to be
given a full scholarship
and ended his college
career by making 35
straight starts.
David Bakhtiari
(2009, Serra, Green
Bay Packers LT)
He could end up having
the biggest impact of any-
one from the Peninsula since Brady. Bakhtiari
left the University of Colorado after his jun-
ior year and was drafted by the Green Bay
Packers in the fourth round this past spring.
When presumptive starter Brian Bulaga tore
up his knee during a preseason scrimmage,
Bakhtiari was quickly tossed into the re at
arguably the most crucial position on the
offensive line left tackle, the man most
responsible for his quarter-
backs blindside, who in
this case is Super Bowl
winner Aaron Rodgers.
Bakhtiari more than
held his own, starting all
16 games for the Packers
and earning a spot in the
playoffs.
At Colorado, Bakhtiari
was essentially a three-
year starter he started 11 of 12 games dur-
ing his redshirt freshman year and was
ranked one of the top tackles in the nation his
junior season.

Allen said he doesnt expect many changes
on his coaching staff even though most of
them have contracts that expire next month.
Despite losing their nal six games and
eight of the last nine following a promising
start to the season, Allen retained the support
in the locker room from players hoping for
continuity after years of constant change in
Oakland.
The result on the eld was not anywhere
near what we wanted, but we need to keep con-
tinuity and keep building, left tackle Jared
Veldheer said. You cant rip down and start
over because then we just fall into the same
problem. Its hard for people to see, but its
going to happen. There will be success here.
It was hard to see that success down the
stretch of the season especially. The Raiders
struggled mightily on defense and allowed the
second most points in franchise history and
had the fth worst passer rating against in NFL
history.
The offense also struggled late in the season
as both Matt McGloin and Terrelle Pryor failed
to deliver consistent play. Pryor won three of
his rst six starts before regressing down the
stretch. McGloin won his debut start before
losing his nal ve games.
The Raiders have the fth pick in Mays draft
and could use it on a quarterback or bring in a
veteran through trade or free agency.
Thats a position that weve got to make
sure that we address, Allen said. Im not sure
that we have the quarterback of the future in the
building right now.

HARRISBURG, Pa. About 5 million
people will be without health care next year
that they would have gotten simply if they
lived somewhere else in America.
They make up a coverage gap in President
Barack Obamas signature health care law
created by the domino effects of last years
Supreme Court ruling and states subsequent
policy decisions.
The court effectively left it up to states to
decide whether to open Medicaid, the feder-
al-state program for the poor and disabled,
to more people, primarily poor working
adults without children.
Twenty-ve states declined. That leaves
4.8 million people in those states without
the health care coverage that their peers
elsewhere are getting through the expan-
sion of Medicaid, according to a Kaiser
Family Foundation estimate. More than
one-fifth of them live in Texas alone,
Kaisers analysis found.
Among those in the gap is Cheryl Jones,
a 61-year-old part-time home-care worker
from Erie, Pa., who makes do without health
insurance by splitting in half pills for high
blood pressure, which she gets from a
friend, not a pharmacist. Shed also like to
visit a dentist to x her broken partial den-
tures. Anew pair of glasses might be nice,
t oo.
There are a lot of us who need medical
help now, she said. I need new glasses, I
need to go to a dentist, I need my medicine.
... Think about us working poor. We pay our
taxes.
The Medicaid expansion was supposed to
work hand-in-hand with tax credits subsi-
dizing private insurance for people with
slightly higher incomes, two keys to the
laws broader aim of extending health insur-
ance to 30 million more people. As an
enticement for states to expand Medicaid,
the federal government promises to pay
nearly all of the cost.
Without the expansion, the law is unable
to help people who are below the income
threshold where tax credits start kicking in,
about $11,500 for working adults.
On Wednesday, 24 states and Washington,
D.C., will extend Medicaid to more than 4
million adults who would otherwise fall
into the same gap as Jones. Access to the
care theyll get is similar to what people get
with private insurance, said Joan Alker,
executive director of Georgetown
Universitys Center for Children and
Families.
A25th state, Michigan, plans to expand
in April. Wisconsin effectively eliminated
its own gap without using the more gener-
ous federal contribution.
Politics is apparent in states expansion
decisions. Of those that joined it, all but
ve supported Obama in last years elec-
tion. Of those that declined, most are more
conservative states in the South, Midwest
and northern Rocky Mountains that voted
against Obama.
One outlier is Pennsylvania, a moderate
industrial belt state that supported Obama
twice.
Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican who sued
unsuccessfully as attorney general to over-
turn the health care law, instead plans to ask
the federal government to approve an alter-
native to a Medicaid expansion. He wants to
use the laws generous Medicaid dollars to
cover the same population through private
insurance companies while stripping down
existing benets under Medicaid, a target of
conservatives criticism.
With no guarantee of federal approval,
hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians
Kaiser estimates 281,000 could be
stuck in the gap until at least 2015.
Corbett doesnt apologize for not
expanding eligibility right away. Rather,
administration ofcials say they want to
put themselves in a better position to create
a successful, affordable program.
Our goal is to absolutely get this plan
approved so that every uninsured
Pennsylvanian has health care options,
said a senior Corbett aide, Todd Shamash.
Corbetts ofce declined to make him avail-
able for an interview.
In the meantime, the uninsured who fall
into this new Medicaid gap are selective
about seeking care.
Their health care needs dont go away
just because theyre uninsured, Alker said,
and what theyre missing out on is consis-
tent primary and preventive care.

mary care at a federally funded community

A friends loan of $200 covered a month

Collins, 56, used to be a high-level

sional secretarial temporary work and
unemployment compensation checks and is
trying to protect a 401(k) retirement
account of $21,000 that she said makes her
ineligible for Pennsylvanias current
Medicaid program.
But the job market is brutal, temp work is
scarce and her unemployment compensa-
tion checks are at an end, she said.
I have never gone through anything like
this in my life, Collins said.

WASHINGTON Certain current or for-
mer heavy smokers should start getting
yearly scans for lung cancer to cut their
risk of death from the nations top cancer
killer, government advisers said Monday
even as they stressed that the tests
arent for everyone.
The long-anticipated decision by the
influential U.S. Preventive Services Task
Force says these CT scans of the lungs
should be offered only to people at espe-
cially high risk: Those who smoked a
pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years or an
equivalent amount, such as two packs a day
for 15 years and who are between the
ages of 55 and 80.
Thats roughly 10 million people, but
not all of them qualify for screening, said
task force vice chairman Dr. Michael
LeFevre, a University of Missouri family
physician. Even those high-risk people
shouldnt be scanned if theyre not healthy
enough to withstand cancer treatment, or if
they kicked the habit more than 15 years
ago.
Lung cancer kills nearly 160,000
Americans each year. Smoking is the
biggest risk factor, and the more and
longer people smoke, the higher their
risk. Usually, lung cancer is diagnosed too
late for treatment to succeed, but until now
there hasnt been a good means of early
detection.
The newly recommended screening could
prevent as many as 20,000 deaths a year,
LeFevre said if its used correctly.
That estimate assumes good candi-
dates seek the scans. Theres no way to
know if people at the highest risk will,
or if instead the overly anxious will
flood testing centers.
Screen the wrong people, and we could
see more harm than good, LeFevre cau-
tioned. Theres a lot of room for what I
would call people exploiting the recom-
mendation. I can imagine a street-corner
imaging center advertising to invite peo-
ple in.
Why not screen younger or lighter
smokers? Theres no data to tell if theyd
be helped. Lung cancer is rare before age
50, and the major study that showed
screening could save lives enrolled only
heavy smokers starting at age 55.
But screening isnt harm-free. A suspi-
cious scan is far more likely to be a false
alarm than a tumor, LeFevre noted. Yet
patients may undergo invasive testing to
find out, which in turn can cause complica-
tions.
Moreover, radiation accumulated from
even low-dose CT scans can raise the risk
of cancer. And occasionally, screening
detects tumors so small and slow-growing
that they never would have threatened the
persons life.
While screening clearly can benefit
some people, the best way to avoid lung
cancer death is to stop smoking, LeFevre
added.
The task force proposed the screenings
last summer but published its final recom-
mendation Monday in the journal Annals
of Internal Medicine. That clears the way
for insurers to begin paying for the scans,
which cost between $300 and $500,
according to the American Lung
Association.
Under the Obama administrations health
care law, cancer screenings that are backed
by the task force are supposed to be cov-
ered with no copays, although plans have a
year to adopt new recommendations.
Lung cancer scans urged for some smokers, not all

CONCORD, N.H. Ofce workers
in search of snacks will be counting
calories along with their change under
new labeling regulations for vending
machines included in President Barack
Obamas health care overhaul law.
Requiring calorie information to be
displayed on roughly 5 million vend-
ing machines nationwide will help
consumers make healthier choices,
says the Food and Drug
Administration, which is expected to
release nal rules early next year. It
estimates the cost to the vending
machine industry at $25.8 million ini-
tially and $24 million per year after
that, but says if just .02 percent of
obese adults ate 100 fewer calories a
week, the savings to the health care
system would be at least that great.
The rules will apply to about 10,800
companies that operate 20 or more
machines. Nearly three quarters of
those companies have three or fewer
employees, and their prot margin is
extremely low, according to the
National Automatic Merchandising
Association. An initial investment of
$2,400 plus $2,200 in annual costs is
a lot of money for a small company
that only clears a few thousand dollars
a year, said Eric Dell, the groups vice
president for government affairs.
The money that would be spent to
comply with this theres no return
on the investment, he said.
While the proposed rules would give
companies a year to comply, the indus-
try group has suggested a two-year
deadline and is urging the government
to allow as much exibility as possible
in implementing the rules. Some com-
panies may use electronic displays to
post calorie counts while others may
opt for signs stuck to the machines.
Carol Brennan, who owns Brennan
Food Vending Services in
Londonderry, said she doesnt yet
know how she will handle the regula-
tions, but she doesnt like them. She
has ve employees servicing hundreds
of machines and says shell be forced
to limit the items offered so her
employees dont spend too much time
updating the calorie counts.
It is outrageous for us to have to do
this on all our equipment, she said.
Brennan also doubts that consumers
will benet from the calorie informa-
tion.
How many people have not read a
label on a candy bar? she said. If
youre concerned about it, youve
already read it for years.
But Kim Gould, 58, of Seattle, said
he doesnt read the labels even after his
choice pops out of a vending machine,
so having access to that information
wouldnt change what he buys.
People have their reasons they eat
well or eat poorly, Gould said.
Standing with his 12-year-old
daughter near a vending machine in a
medical clinic where he bought some
drinks last week, he said he only
makes purchases at the machines when
hes hungry and has no other options.
How do we know people who are
buying candy in the vending machines
arent eating healthy 99 percent of the
time? he added.
As for the new labels, Gould said he
wasnt sure what the point would be,
and that they would just be nibbling
around the edges of the problem.
The FDA also is working on nal
rules for requiring restaurant chains
with more than 20 locations to post
calories information, something some
cities already mandate and some large
fast-food operations have begun doing
voluntarily. A2011 study in New York
found that only one in six customers
looked at the information, but those
who did generally ordered about 100
fewer calories. A more recent study in
Philadelphia found no difference in
calories purchased after the citys
labeling law took effect.
There is probably a subset of peo-
ple for whom this information works,
who report using it to purchase fewer
calories, but what were not seeing
though is a change at an overall popu-
lation level in the number of calories
consumed, said Brian Ebel, the
studys author and an assistant profes-
sor at New York Universitys depart-
ment of population health and medi-
cine.

pagne, its becoming equivalent to
supporting a local artist, he said.
Major brands, like (Domaine)
Chandon, always sell well, particular-
ly in the holiday season, but con-
sumers are learning champagnes are
great wines with food.
Apopular New Years Eve beverage,
champagne is dened as a sparkling
wine produced from grapes grown in
the Champagne region of France fol-
lowing rules that demand secondary
fermentation of the wine in the bottle
to create carbonation. Some use the
term as a generic term for sparkling
wine, but many countries reserve the
term exclusively for sparkling wines
that come from Champagne and are
produced using the rules.
For those seeking the high quality of
champagne without a high price,
Taggart suggests sparkling wine alter-
natives, including Cavas from Spain,
Crmant from another district of
France and other sparkling wines from
Argentina, Australia and Italy.
Champagne is world-renowned, so
the price is also world-renowned, he
said.
Weimax Wines & Spirits on
Broadway in Burlingame sells a lot of
champagne from small growers. You
can get a good bottle of good cham-
pagne for $35 to $60, said owner
Gerald Weisl.
They range from small family-
owned estates who grow their own
grapes and make their own cham-
pagne, Weisl said. Were sell-
ing quite a bit this year. It s a
great gi ft i t em duri ng t he
December holidays. Our philoso-
phy i s onl y dri nk champagne wi t h
days ending with letter Y.
Marie Courtin, champagne from a
tiny estate in the southern part of
Champagne has been selling well,
Weisl said. Weisl agreed champagne is
popular all year long because it goes
well with food.
For those not so keen on the taste of
champagne, alternatives to consum-
ing champagne straight up include the
mixed drink Kir Royale. This cocktail
mixes champagne and the sweet black-
currant liquor creme de cassis.
Additionally, theres always mimosas,
with orange juice and champagne, and
the Poinsettia, with orange liqueur,
cranberry juice and champagne.
In terms of etiquette, Taggart recom-
mends using a small white wine glass
over using a narrower champagne ute.
You can smell the aromas, he said.
Getting your nose in the glass makes
a difference. The shape also allows the
carbonation to disperse.
SALES
many. But waking up with a raging
headache, upset stomach and dark bags
around the eyes is no way to greet 2014.
So the experts at some of San Mateo
Countys favorite watering holes have
suggestions on how to relieve the pre-
vious nights indulgences.
Plan on having
a smashing new year
Staying hydrated and managing sugar
intake is key to avoiding a hangover,
said Kristen Snow, a bartender at Yuppie
Bar on San Mateos B Street. Although
most people are rightfully caught up in
the holiday celebrations, New Years
Eve doesnt have to be amateur night,
Snow said.
You should always hydrate with good
old-fashioned water. But people dont
always think about that when they
drink, Snow said.
Be conscious of what you drink and
avoid overlapping different liquors. If
you start with a clear alcohol, dont go
throwing wine in the mix, Snow said.
Avoiding the sweet chasers and sticking
with something like a vodka soda is
typically a better choice, Snow said.
The sugar is really what gives you
that screaming hangover in the morn-
ing, Snow said.
Making sure youre not drinking on
an empty stomach can make or break
Jan. 1 for those who start to party early,
said Juan Loredo, co-owner of
Barrelhouse Pub in Burlingame.
Really hydrate and eat well. Alot of
customers that come in and are worried
about their physique, dont eat before
and a lot come in and get really drunk
right away, Loredo said.
For those who cant afford to spend a
night on the town and wake up exhaust-
edly dragging their feet to work, Loredo
said taking a nap ahead of the celebra-
tion and making sure youre well rested
before counting down to midnight can
help stave off the hangover.
When you know
youve gone too far
The two most excruciating hangover
symptoms are the crippling headaches
and the unprecedented bubble tummy,
Barrelhouse bartender Jeff Peterson
said. When serving up a morning-after
hair of the dog remedy, anything with a
kick will help. Adding something spicy
like Tabasco sauce to even a basic tequi-
la shot can get the sweat dripping and
ease ones suffering, Peterson said.
When it comes to the bubble tummy,
there are pre- and post-drinking reme-
dies. If youre truly desperate for a quick
hangover x, you might have to wait to
start your New Years diet resolutions
until Jan. 2.
Anything fatty or greasy will help
absorb the leftover liquid courage cours-
ing through your body. Although its
typically served on a Sunday, slopping
up a delicious bowl of menudo during
this mid-week New Years Day is his go-
to cure, Loredo said.
It has a lot of fat, so thats what I
think absorbs the alcohol. Anything
with fat or a fatty food helps. I think it
just makes you feel better, Loredo said.
Dehydration not only gives your
stomach the turns, it can also dumb you
down. To combat the hangover haze, a
pinch bit of salt can go a long way, said
Tim Lamberg, a Barrelhouse patron.
Your brain, from when youre dehy-
drated, is severely inhibited because of
the lack of salt, Lamberg said.
He usually indulges in some pickles or
mixing a spoonful of salt into a glass of
water, Lamberg said.
When all else fails
If youre able, heading to the gym
may ease your haggard feeling and help
start your resolution to get into shape.
Stepping into a sauna to sweat out the
toxins or jumping into cold water can do
the trick, Mike Fitzpatrick said.
If youre lucky enough to know a para-
medic or a doctor, hit them up for a
favor. In the countrys drinking mecca
Las Vegas, theres a mobile truck that
services the most brutally hungover by
giving a saline IV, Loredo said. But a
more viable option is to try some char-
coal pills that can help absorb the
booze, Loredo said.
Everyone agreed the best go-to hang-
over remedy is digesting electrolytes.
Dont be afraid to admit when youre in
need, Loredo said even childrens
Pedialyte turns into a day-after adult
drink.
Taking a shot of the licorice tasting
Fernet can help ease your tummys
woes, Loredo said. Its a digestif that is
extremely helpful after a meal and some-
times it helps as a hangover cure. Its
extremely popular and San Francisco is
one of the worlds largest consumers,
Loredo said.
Fernet has been around for decades,
was the only thing allowed during
Prohibition and has been considered a
cure-all, Snow said. Fernet used to be
standard in the 40s and 50s kitchens
and bathroom, Snow said.
Alot of people cant stomach Fernet.
So when you drink it dont smell it,
especially if its your rst shot of
Fernet; its pretty intense, Snow said.
One of the more easy to stomach and
widely distributed electrolyte drinks
now a days is coconut water. It tastes
good and will help ease you into the new
year, said Barrelhouse bartender BreAnn
Hanna.
Coconut water is more hydrating
then water, Hanna said. And it goes
down smooth when nothing else will.
San Mateo County police ofcials
remind everyone not to drink and drive.
SamTrans is offering free rides on New
Years Eve and BART will be running

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
OFELIA GONZALEZ
Case Number: 124037
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Ofelia Gonzalez. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Auturo
Gonzalez in the Superior Court of Cali-
fornia, County of San Mateo. The Peti-
tion for Probate requests that Auturo
Gonzalez be appointed as personal rep-
resentative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
203 Public Notices
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: February 3, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal qutho-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
