State Sen. Jerry Hill today is
introducing legislation limiting
political spending by ofcials to
organizations with familial ties
a bill in part reacting to the
fundraising scandal caused by the
Latino Legislative Caucus donating
$25,000 to a
group ran by its
former vice
c h a i r m a n s
brother.
This is one
piece of the polit-
ical reform puz-
zle, Hill said.
The bill by
Hill, D-San Mateo, also proposes
several other changes to the
Political Reform Act which governs
the disclosure of political money.
Among them are prohibitions of
elected ofcials contributing cam-
paign funds to business entities or
nonprots operated by another
elected ofcial on the same body,
family members or family members
of other elected ofcials. The legis-
lation would also cap travel-related
gives to elected ofcials from non-
prots and other groups at $5,000
in a calendar year and ban the use of
campaign funs for an elected of-
cials personal needs like mort-
gage, rent utility bills, vacation
and entertainment tickets.
Currently, state law only requires
the reporting of so-called behested
payments contributions solicit-
ed by elected ofcials for legisla-
tive, governmental or charitable
purposes more than $5,000 per
year from a single source and do not
place any limits on the amount.
Behest payments are not considered
campaign contributions or gifts.

With a good portion of the
Burlingame Avenue Streetscape
project completed, the city wants
more frequent cleanings and more
cooperation to make sure the
revamped blocks are kept clean
amid growing concern about dirty
new sidewalk pavers.
Since the opening of the wider
and revamped 1200 block of
Burlingame Avenue in September
2013, the city has been receiving
complaints about dirty new pavers
spewed with trash, stains, food
and drink spills, cigarette butts,
chewing gum, dog waste and other
items. The City Council will vote
Monday night whether to put in
$25,000 to increase cleaning,
conduct outreach to businesses and
property owners seeking their
cooperation to keep their frontage
sidewalk areas clean and require
restaurants and food/beverage-

Redwood City-based Rocket Fuel
uses articial intelligence technol-
ogy to take advantage of the
opportunities big data offers and
help companies run ad campaigns.
Big data is a name for the large
amount of information or data
available in the world because of
the Internet, social media sites and
corporations.
The power of big data isnt the
data itself, but rather the insights
that it provides, Rocket Fuel Vice
President Abhinav Gupta wrote in
an email. Marketers are feeling
overwhelmed by all of this data.
Rocket Fuels AI (articial intelli-
gence) technology can sort
through and make sense of this
massive amount of big data much
faster than humans ever could.
CEO George John, President
Richard Frankel and Gupta, who
worked at the behavioral targeting
group at Yahoo!, decided to start
their own company in 2008, and
that is when Rocket Fuel was born.
The name Rocket Fuel was cho-
sen for symbolize two main
things, and that is the companys
rocket-scientist-type background
and also all of the power behind
the AI technology it uses to fuel
larger advertising campaigns.
Our backgrounds are very tech-
nical and marketing-focused, and
with Rocket Fuel we saw the
opportunity to leverage big data
and AI to create an autonomous
platform that works around the
clock to deliver the right ads to the
right people at the right time,
Gupta said.

Obama gift mistakenly
finds its way to Illinois home
WADSWORTH, Ill. A book of
personal White House family photos
was mistakenly sent to a suburban
Chicago woman, who says shes
making sure the Christmas gift finds
its way to the rightful recipient.
Alane Church tells NBCs Today
show she was surprised to find the
beautiful, personal book shoved
in the bottom of a damaged box of
packages her family opened at their
Wadsworth home on New Years Day.
WLS-TV reports the book included
a hand-written gift tag from Barack,
Michelle + the girls.
Church wont show anyone whats
in the book. But she says the pic-
tures of first daughters Sasha and
Malia Obama offer a glimpse of
very special, private moments of
their year of 2013 together.
The White House confirmed the
errant delivery but offered no details.
New York bathers splash
into new year with ocean swim
NEW YORK Hundreds of brave
bathers rang in 2014 with a plunge
into the icy ocean off Coney Island.
Members of the Coney Island
Polar Bear and Ice Breakers clubs and
other hardy swimmers stripped down
to their trunks or dressed in costumes
on Wednesday for the annual New
Years Day splash.
Some people hit the surf dressed
only in bikinis or briefs. Agroup of
guys wore bow ties and top hats and
had a tea party, and others waved giant
American ags. Temperatures outside
were in the low 30s. People screamed
at the shock of the cold water.
Polar Bear club president Dennis
Thomas, whose club has hosted the
annual dip since 1903, said it was a
perfect day for a swim.
It was a glorious beach day, he
said. New York City beaches are
great even in the winter. We love
being out in it.
Thomas has been a member for
more than 30 years and has done
countless swims. Others, though,
were jumping in for the first time.
Michael Haltman and his 17-year-
old son, Cory Haltman, took the
plunge to raise awareness for the
bone marrow donation registry. His
23-year-old daughter, Samantha
Haltman, is donating bone marrow to
a patient struggling with blood can-
cer, and they wanted to show support.
The water was a shock - Haltman
said he felt it was difficult to breathe.
I wore a winter coat until it was
time to go, but others were out there
for an hour and a half only in biki-
nis, Haltman said. Parts of my
body are still re-emerging. The sun
wasnt out. It was freezing. Water
temperature wasnt much warmer.
The Polar Bear club swim raises
money for Camp Sunshine, a camp
for children with life-threatening ill-
nesses. The club hosts swims weekly
during the winter months.
Just east of Coney Island at
Brighton Beach, the Ice Breakers
plunged into the Atlantic. The group
has 14 members over the age of 70,
including 90-year-old Michael
Friedman. The group is a loose mem-
bership of eager winter swimmers
who raise awareness for environ-
mental issues.
Thief carries 250-pound safe
out of Massachusetts eatery
WEYMOUTH, Mass.
Massachusetts police are searching
for a strong-armed thief who carried a
250-pound safe out of a restaurant.
Kevin Hynes says a man walked
out of his Stockholders Restaurant
in Weymouth on Sunday night lug-
ging the vault.
Surveillance tape shows the man
entering a side door at the rear of the
restaurant, heading down the stairs
and coming back up carrying a large
object wrapped in a trash bag.
No arrests have been made.
Hynes isnt saying how much
money was in the safe, but hes offer-
ing a $2,500 reward for information
leading to the mans arrest.
He says hes since bought an even
heavier safe and bolted it to the con-
crete floor.

The perks of impersonating
A woman who claimed to be a police

W
ater has been an attracting force
of civilization almost forever.
When the Spanish blazed a path
from San Jose to the tip of the Peninsula,
the first explorers began following the
small, shallow creek that came down from
the Daly City, Colma and San Bruno
Mountain area. This well-worn path on the
west side (that will later be called Mission
Road) of the San Bruno Mountain attracted
many pioneers in the mid-1800s as there
was adequate water for agriculture and per-
sonal use.
The northern area of San Mateo County
has unique natural drainage systems that
supplied water to the early pioneers.
Although the average is about 21 inches of
rain per year that falls in wintertime, those
21 inches of rain could fall at four or five
inches at a time. That turned any small
creek into a torrent, which can devastate
the countryside at times. The early pio-
neers did not let that detour them and they
began businesses and the homes along this
route and in the area. The first structure in
the area was Abbey House at the Top of the
Hill. Gradually, many businesses centered
along Mission Road and San Pedro Road.
The creek along this section was the first
to be covered over to prevent and control
floods. The section south of this was a low,
wide, open plain where many smaller
creeks entered from the west and was there-
fore avoided by the railroad when it was
built in 1861. This section along Mission
Road flooded many times and has been cov-
ered only in recent times.
As the creek flows south, paralleling
Mission Road, it flows behind Malloys
business across from the Holy Cross
Cemetery. The Southern Pacific Railroad
and the # 40 Line had to negotiate across
and parallel to the creek in this area that
was frequently flooded in the wintertime.
From this point south, the creek was on the
west side of Mission Road and at the area of
Chestnut Avenue it then turns toward the
Bay. It was in this area that the 12-Mile
House was built in the late 1840s and Mr.
Lux built his large house overlooking the
mass of willow trees that had grown up
alongside the creek. It was at this point
also that the Mission Road crossed the
creek to the west and continued south on
higher and drier ground.

The allegedly drunk driver who
killed a Daly City woman and her
two sons and injured another in
March after plowing into their
vehicle while eeing from another
accident will stand trial on three
counts of second-degree murder
and several other felonies.
Denis Pereria Demacedo, 29, of
Sunnyvale, has pleaded not guilty
but, after a three-day preliminary
hearing that culminated Friday, he
was also held to answer on three
counts of gross vehicular
manslaughter for the deaths of
Josefa Osorio Acevedo, 50, and
her sons Amado Osorio Acevedo,
23, and Josue Osorio, 14. Amado
Acevedos girlfriend was critically
hurt but survived the crash.
Demacedo will also be tried on
two counts each of felony drunk
driving and per-
jury and one
count of felony
hit-and-run. The
charges stem
from both the
fatal collision
March 2 and the
earlier rear-end-
ing of a stopped
car. The perjury
charges are
from Demacedo ling false infor-
mation with the Department of
Motor Vehicles to unsuspend his
license, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
He returns to court Jan. 24 to
enter a Superior Court plea and
potentially schedule a jury trial
date.
Prosecutors said previously that
murder charges are warranted
because three people died, investi-
gation showed that his heavy
drinking was done prior to the
crash and, since he was on proba-
tion for drunk driving, he should
have known better.
Demacedo reportedly left the
scene of a fender-bender a block
away when he pulled his BMW
into oncoming trafc to maneuver
around the driver he had rear-
ended, accelerated and collided
with a red Toyota Tercel pulling
away from the curb to make a U-
turn on the 100 block of Eastmoor
Avenue in Daly City. Pereria
Demacedo sped 60-65 mph in a 30
mph zone, broadsiding the Tercel
and pushing it 150 feet, according
to prosecutors.
Demacedo was not injured and
remained at the scene where he was
arrested. His blood alcohol level
was .15 several hours after crash and
was ultimately pinpointed at .18.
He remains in custody without
bail.

Man arrested in 2010
German tourist shooting
SAN FRANCISCO Authorities
have arrested a seventh suspect
wanted in the killing of a German
tourist near San Franciscos Union
Square in 2010.
The San Francisco Chronicle
reports that 21-year-old Devante
Laws was arrested Friday in
Hayward by the U.S. Marshals
Service.
Investigators have been look-
ing for the suspected gang member
since the August 2010 killing of
50-year-old Mechthild Schroer,
who was vacationing in San
Francisco with her husband to cel-
ebrate her birthday and the cou-
ples 25th wedding anniversary.
Six other suspected gang mem-
bers have already been charged in
the case. The fatal shots were red
outside a club during a brawl.
Schroer, an elementary school rec-
tor from Hanover, German, was killed
while she and her husband, Stefan,
were looking for a place to eat.

SACRAMENTO California
lawmakers are returning to the
Capitol this week for a pivotal
election-year session.
Expect ghts over billions of
dollars in new tax revenue and
leadership changes in both par-
ties. Democrats will work to pro-
tect the supermajorities that give
them command of state politics,
as a federal corruption investiga-
tion hangs over one of their own
in the Senate.
Meanwhile, freshmen lawmak-
ers elected under Californias
newly extended term limits will
come of age, a class that could
dominate the lawmaking process
for more than a decade.
Its a year that will be unlike
others and predictable only in the
way that they will all be looking
to some degree after their own
self-interest because its an elec-
tion year, said Senate Minority
Leader Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar.
It just changes the dynamics.
Democrats will face heavy pres-
sure on taxes, with interest groups
urging them to make changes and put
constitutional amendments before
voters with or without Republican
support. Party leaders, meanwhile,
will balance such demands against
the risk of over-
reaching and
alienating cen-
trist voters.
S e n a t e
President Pro
Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D-
S a c r a me n t o ,
and Assembly
Speaker John
Perez, D-Los
Angeles, said
their goals
include building
up a budget
reserve, paying
down long-term
debt and cau-
tiously restor-
ing funding to
some social pro-
grams that were cut during the reces-
sion. Such spending would include
more money for education from
working toward universal pre-
school programs to giving col-
leges and universities enough
money to prevent tuition increases.
Assembly Minority Leader
Connie Conway, R-Tulare, howev-
er, warned her political rivals not
to get crazy and spend a bunch of
money that we dont have.
Democratic lawmakers also plan
to revisit some of the major issues
from last year, including gun con-
trol and environmental safe-
guards. Their
absolute con-
trol of the leg-
i s l a t i v e
process cou-
pled with bil-
lions of dollars
in new revenue
from voter-
a p p r o v e d
increases in
sales and income taxes creates
what Perez called a healthy ten-
sion between lawmakers and also
with Gov. Jerry Brown, a fellow
Democrat who is urging fiscal
restraint and is up for re-election
this year.
That tension shows over the
issue of whether to change the tax
code. There are smart ways to
make improvements to our tax
system, and we ought to look at
them, Steinberg said.
He wants lawmakers to consider
imposing a new tax on oil pro-
duced within the state, noting that
California is the only state with-
out an oil-extraction tax.
Democrats also could advance a
ballot measure that would make it
easier to approve local taxes under
Proposition 13. The landmark
1978 voter initiative rolled back
property taxes and limited annual
increases, and it also required sup-
port from two-thirds of voters to
pass local tax hikes. A new plan
would seek to lower that threshold.
Perez considers such a plan as
unlikely to get much traction in
his chamber. And while were at
it, well consider the electrica-
tion of third rails, he said, allud-
ing to the political danger in try-
ing to alter Proposition 13, which
sometimes is called the third rail
of California politics because
touching it can lead to the death of
political careers.
Perez said legislative action on
an oil-extraction fee also is
unlikely, although he said his
chamber would consider anything
that passes the Senate.
California Target Book publish-
er Allan Hoffenblum said party
leaders will face growing pres-
sure from progressive
Democrats, who say, Weve got
the governors chair, weve got
supermajorities in both cham-
bers my God, why dont we
start spending it?
Yet the impulse to raise taxes or
spend the budget surplus will be
tempered by business-friendly
Democrats and those facing tough
re-election battles, said
Hoffenblum, whose publication
analyzes legislative and congres-
sional campaigns. The states
independent legislative analyst
has projected a $5.6 billion
reserve by July 2015 and annual
operating surpluses approaching
$10 billion a year by the 2017-18
scal year if current spending and
revenue policies continue.
Analysts said the majority party
must tread carefully. Democrats are
in no danger of losing control of
either the Assembly or Senate, but
retaining their two-thirds majori-
ties will depend on just a handful
of seats in each chamber.
A Field Poll released in
December showed the Legislature
with a 40 percent approval rat-
i ng, up 30 percentage points
since it hit bottom three years
ago. But that is largely a func-
tion of the improving economy,
said poll director Mark
DiCamillo, and many voters
remain suspicious of Democrats
extraordinary power.
Internal politics also will con-
sume lawmakers energy, with
three of the four current caucus
leaders set to leave office after
next year because of term limits.

Scientists use sea
mammals to make toxic map
MOSS LANDING California
marine scientists are collecting
samples from sea mammals around
the state to in an effort to create a
map of toxic hot spots.
Marine Mammal Center
researchers plan to use 10 years of
data collected from the stranded
sea lions, seals and whales it has
saved to create a disease map of
the coastal environment.
Stephanie Hughes, a marine sci-
entist who studies disease in seals,
tells the Santa Cruz Sentinel that
the creatures are samplers for the
environment.
Seals and other marine mammals
live near humans and eat a lot of
the same seafood, including
salmon and sardines.
As a result, the animals store
contaminants from that food in
their blubber, the levels of which
can tell scientists where pollution
is more concentrated.
So far, the blubber samples have
shown different contaminants
depending on the area agricul-
ture pesticides in Monterey Bay or
ame retardants in the more urban
San Francisco Bay environment.
Once the data is collected, scientists
will study the regional differences of
health issues and toxins from human
contamination of the ocean.
The project hopes to inspire
similar information gathering
efforts elsewhere, like in New
England, where many harbor seals
stricken by bird u died in 2012.
The idea is to track trends and
nd hot spots, both where and
when. Then we can address why,
Frances Gulland, the centers head
veterinarian, told the newspaper.
Suspects arrested
for Bay Area mail theft
PLEASANTON Four East Bay
men have been arrested on suspi-
cion of stealing mail out of mail-
boxes from homes in as many as
13 Bay Area cities, according to
Pleasanton police.
On Friday night at around 9
p.m., a resident on MacDonald
Court reported seeing a man
removing mail from nearby mail-
boxes, Pleasanton police said.
The man left the area in a 2011
Nissan, which was located a short
time later by responding ofcers,
police said.
Four men were found in the vehi-
cle, who were later identied as
Elmer Aguilar, 18, Gustavo Rivas,
26, and Ruben Ramirez, 31, all of
Concord, and David Gonzales, 23,
of Antioch, police said.
Asearch of the suspects' vehicle
yielded suspected stolen mail from
multiple addresses in Pleasanton,
as well as more than a dozen other
cities in Contra Costa, San Mateo,
and Solano counties, police said.

related businesses to clean and maintain
their frontage sidewalk areas as part of their
tables and chairs encroachment permit con-
ditions, according to a staff report.
Were not sure if its because the pave-
ment is new and it shows up more on it
because its cleaner and shinier, said Vice
Mayor Terry Nagel. We want to educate
businesses on how to clean the pavers
too.
Education, included in a letter to busi-
ness and property owners on the 1200 and
1300 blocks of the avenue signed by
Public Works Director Syed Murtuza,
includes not using bleach, solvents or
chemical solutions to clean the sidewalks,
benches, planters and light poles, not
using sharp instruments to remove gum
from the pavers and leaving sidewalk
power washing to companies that special-
ize in those cleaning techniques.
The city will also vote on installing
signs on other education measures includ-
ing installing signs informing the public
not littering. Signs would include images
with the words Help Keep Your Downtown
Clean; Please Dont Litter. There are also
additional cleaning measures such as per-
forming power washing of the sidewalk
pavers monthly and reseal the pavers
biannually using a private contractor, per-
forming spot cleaning of the pavers fol-
lowing the power washing monthly and
performing quarterly cleaning of the park-
ing lane pavers, the report states.
Staff believes that quarterly power
washing of the sidewalk pavers on
Burlingame Avenue is inadequate, the
report states. A more frequent collabora-
tive approach is needed to properly main-
tain the pavers [T]he collaboration is
vital to maintain the charm and aesthetics
of Burlingame Avenue.
The staffs proposed plans would cost
about $45,000 annually, with an addition-
al $2,500 needed for street signs. There
would also be costs for staff time and out-
reach. There currently are no funds avail-
able in the Public Works Departments
operating budget to undertake the
increased cleaning efforts as outlined in
the report. If approved, a mid-year appro-
priation of $25,000 would be made to
cover the costs for increased cleaning
efforts and signs for the 2013-14 fiscal
year.
Jane Gomery, program manager for the
Public Works Department, said the upkeep
measures are really to make sure the new
streets are cleaned correctly and kept in
shipshape.
Streetscape work stopped for the holi-
days, but will commence on the 1400
block between Primrose Road and El
Camino Real sometime this month.
Construction began in April 2013 and is
expected to be completed by the end of the
summer of 2014.

CLEAN
ANGELA SWARTZ/DAILY JOURNAL
Community members have complained to
the city of Burlingame about food and
beverage stains, along with cigarette butts
and other litter.
The San Bruno Creek (which at one time
was renamed Colma Creek), was deep
enough at high tide for barges to bring
loads of hay from the Bay to the ranch of
Miller/ Lux. Although Mr. Lux built his
mansion on what he thought was high
ground, it was nevertheless flooded many
times. The area from Mission Road and
Chestnut Avenue to the east was an
extremely interesting area, as it was more
of a large floodplain that supported dense
growths of dwarfed willow trees. This
dense growth of willows and the creek
effectively formed a barrier and kept the
cattle within a natural corral. Later, a rail-
road cutoff to Mission Road from the area
of Linden Avenue was constructed and a
road was built along there named Railroad
Avenue. Many of the individuals who built
homes on Railroad Avenue were able to rent
strips of land and convert much of the wil-
low forest land to vegetable gardens. The
removal of the willows then presented
other problems as flood waters could erode
the area very rapidly.
Eventually, this wild creek had to be
tamed and the Army Corps of Engineers
began cementing sections of the creekbed
beginning in South San Francisco. Even
this was not sufficient and many times the
retaining walls had to be built higher due
to infrequent, exceedingly high floods.
When BART was constructed the section
from Chestnut Avenue toward Colma was
rerouted and improved. Recently, in the
early 2000s, the section around Linden
Avenue was finally cemented to prevent
flooding in this industrialized section.
The San Bruno Creek, which is now
called Colma Creek, was a very big influ-
ence on the development of Daly City,
Colma and South San Francisco. Although
the creek produced many benefits for the
farmers as well as the residents of the area,
it was nevertheless treated very poorly by
the ones who depended upon it the most.
The hog farmers and vegetable farmers
dumped their refuge in the creek and at
times the smell became exceedingly offen-
sive. Laws were passed and this practice
was stopped. The days of using the creek as
a sewer were over when most of the area
was incorporated. One has to look very
hard today to find the path of the original
creek.

NATION 7

WASHINGTON An unusual alliance of
tea party enthusiasts and liberal leaders in
Congress is pursuing major changes in the
countrys mandatory sentencing laws.
Whats motivating them are growing
concerns about both the fairness of the
sentences and the expense of running fed-
eral prisons.
The congressional push comes as
President Barack Obama and his Cabinet
draw attention to the issue of mandatory
sentences, particularly for nonviolent
drug offenders.
Supporters say mandatory minimum
sentences are outdated, lump all offend-
ers into one category and rob judges of
the ability to use their
own discretion.
They also cite the
high costs of the poli-
cies. The Justice
Department spends
some $6. 4 bi l l i on,
about one-quarter of its
budget, on prisons each
year, and that number is
growing steadily.
People are coming here for different
reasons, but there is a real opportunity,
said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., one of the
Senates leading proponents of sentenc-
ing changes.
The push is being led by the Senate,
where Durbin has worked with tea party
stalwarts such as Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah,
on legislation that would give judges more
flexibility to determine prison sentences
in many drug cases. At the same time, a
right-left coalition is pressing for
changes in the House.
Prison costs have soared in the past 30
years, when laws requiring mandatory
prison time for many drug offenses were
put in place.
The yearly cost for one federal inmate
ranges from $21,000 to $33,000 depend-
ing on the prisons level of security.
About half of the nations more than
218,000 federal inmates are serving time
for drug crimes and virtually all of
them faced some form of mandatory min-
imum sentencing.
Tough-on-crime drug policies once
united Republicans and Democrats who
didnt want to appear weak on crime.
Now reversing or revising many of those
policies is having the same effect.
The Fair Sentencing Act, passed in
2010, drew bipartisan support for cutting
penalties on crack cocaine offenses. The
bill reduced a disparity between crack-
related sentences and sentences for other
drugs, though it only addressed new
cases, not old ones.
Durbin, one of that bills chief spon-
sors, has written a much broader bill
with Lee, called the Smarter Sentencing
Act. It would expand a provision that
gives judges discretion for a limited
number of nonviolent drug offenders.
The new law would allow judges the same
latitude for a larger group of drug offend-
ers facing mandatory sentences.
Push for sentencingchanges underway in Congress

WASHINGTON Oskar Zepeda has had
pretty much one mission in his life: kill or
capture.
After serving nine tours of duty in Iraq and
Afghanistan, he now has a new target
child predators.
Zepeda, 29, is part of a 17-member class
of veterans trained in computer forensics
and sent to Immigration and Customs
Enforcement field offices. They arent
paid, and theres no guarantee that theyll
have a full-time job when their one-year
stint ends.
But the interns are nding the purpose of
their new mission outweighs nancial con-
siderations.
I love challenges. And I have a family of
my own, said Zepeda, whose military
career was cut short by a hand grenade and
the 25 operations that followed. I feel Im
still serving my country and protecting my
family at the same time.
For Shannon Krieger, who was in the
Army and is now assigned to an ICE ofce
in New Orleans, This was a new ght I
could sink my teeth into. Thats what really
I was looking for. I wasnt just going to
take a job so I can have a paycheck.
Federal ofcials say a childrens lobbying
group, PROTECT, pitched the idea of incor-
porating wounded veterans in the fight
against child pornography. ICE Special
Agent Patrick Redling said the agency,
where veterans account for 30 percent of the
workforce, ran with the idea.
They built their career upon ghting for
this country and keeping citizens of this
country safe, Redling said. What better to
get somebody already with that mindset
into a program where its another battle-
eld, very similar, but youre keeping our
children safe. Youre taking predators off
the street.
The agency relied on the U.S. Special
Operations Command to get the word out to
wounded service members transitioning out
of the military or already separated. The
veterans were given about 11 weeks of
intensive computer and legal training
before being assigned to an ICE eld ofce.
Even though theyre not getting paid by
ICE, the majority of those on the team are
receiving disability compensation. Many
also get a monthly stipend from the
Department of Veterans Affairs for educa-
tional expenses.
In exchange, theyre gaining expertise
in computer forensics, a skill thats in
high demand with law enforcement agen-
cies, and one that should lend itself to job
offers once the internship is completed.
In general, the veterans work in a lab
and scour the computers and flash drives
that agents in the field confiscate when
conducting a search warrant. The veterans
have two priorities: analyze the evidence
to assist in the prosecution of a suspect,
and help determine if there are children
still in harms way who need to be rescued.
The veterans also are called on to
help agents carry out a search warrant.
Zepeda said thats how he spent his first
day on the job.

BAGHDAD The Iraqi military
tried to dislodge al-Qaida mili-
tants in Sunni-dominated Anbar
province Sunday, unleashing
airstrikes and besieging the
regional capital in ghting that
killed at least 34 people, ofcials
said. A series of bombs in Shiite
neighborhoods of Baghdad, mean-
while, killed at least 20 people.
The recent gains by the insur-
gents have been a blow to the
Shiite-led government as sec-
tarian violence has escalated since
the U.S. withdrawal. U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry said
Washington was very, very con-
cerned by the ghting but would
not send in American troops.
Video of the airstrikes in Anbar
apparently taken by aircraft at
night was released by Iraqs
Defense Ministry showing al-
Qaida hideouts being bombarded.
It showed men gathered around a
vehicle, then running away as the
site was struck.
Aministry statement said the air
force struck a militants hideout
overnight, identifying them as
belonging to the al-Qaida-linked
Islamic State in Iraq and the
Levant, which the government
refers to as terrorists.
The army and allied tribesmen
also fought al-Qaida militants
around the provincial capital of
Ramadi on Sunday, two Anbar
government officials told The
Associated Press by telephone.
They said 22 soldiers and 12 civil-
ians were killed, along with an
unknown number of militants, and
58 people were wounded. The of-
cials spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not
authorized to brief reporters.
Clans inside the city of Fallujah
have started to form brigades, they
said, and some of the factions who
fought the Americans following
the U.S.-led invasion a decade ago
say they do not want the Iraqi
army to enter the city. There was
no fighting inside the city on
Sunday.
Government troops, backed by
Sunni tribesmen who oppose al-
Qaida, have encircled Fallujah for
several days, and have entered
parts of Ramadi. On Friday, troops
bombarded militant positions out-
side Fallujah with artillery, a mili-
tary ofcial said, speaking on con-
dition of anonymity as he was not
authorized to release information.
The deadliest attack Sunday in
Baghdad took place in the northern
Shiite Shaab neighborhood, where
two car bombs exploded simultane-
ously near a restaurant and a tea
house. Ofcials say those blasts
killed 10 people and wounded 26.
Authorities said a car bomb
ripped through the capitals east-
ern Shiite district of Sadr City,
killing five and wounding 10.
Another bombing killed three
civilians and wounded six in a
commercial area in the central Bab
al-Muadham neighborhood, of-
cials said. Two other bombings
killed two civilians and wounded
13, police said.
Medical ofcials conrmed the
causality figures. All officials
spoke on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized
to release information.
Clashes have been taking place
since Monday in Ramadi and near-
by Fallujah, and the Baghdad
bombings could be seen as an
attempt by militants to distract
security forces.
Earlier on Sunday, a senior Iraqi
military commander said that it
will take a few days to fully dis-
lodge al-Qaida-linked ghters in
the two cities.

VATICAN CITY Pope Francis
will travel to Israel, the West Bank
and Jordan in May, his rst visit
to the Holy Land and one that
comes amid a new U.S. push for
peace between Israel and the
Palestinians.
Francis told thousands gathered
in the rain for his weekly Sunday
blessing that in the climate of
joy that is typical of the
Christmas season, he was
announcing a visit May 24-26 to
Amman, Bethlehem and
Jerusalem. It is the only papal
trip confirmed so far for 2014 and
the second foreign trip of
Francis pontificate, following
his 2013 visit to Brazil for World
Youth Day.
Francis said his prime aim was
to commemorate the 50th
anniversary of the historic meet-
ing in Jerusalem between Pope
Paul VI and the then-spiritual
leader of the worlds Orthodox
Christians, Ecumenical Patriarch
Atengora. Catholics and Orthodox
have been divided since the Great
Schism of 1054, precipitated
largely by disagreements over the
primacy of the pope.
Francis will be joined in
Jerusalem by the current ecumeni-
cal patriarch, Bartholomew. They
will celebrate Mass together at the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre,
where the faithful believe Jesus
was crucied and buried, Francis
said.
But the visit also underscores
Francis close ties to the Jewish
community, his outreach to
Muslims and the Vaticans long-
standing call for peace between
Israel and the Palestinians. The
announcement was made just as
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry
wrapped up three days of talks
with Israeli and Palestinian lead-
ers in a new U.S. bid for peace.
In his Christmas address,
Francis singled out the Holy Land
for prayers, saying Bless the land
where you chose to come into the
world, and grant a favorable out-
come to the peace talks between
Israelis and Palestinians.
On Sunday, the Palestinian news
agency Wafa said President
Mahmoud Abbas welcomed the
visit and said he hoped it would
contribute to alleviate the suffer-
ing of the Palestinian people who
aspire for freedom, justice and
independence.
Jordans Royal Palace said the
Amman leg of Francis visit on
May 24 would mark a signi-
cant milestone for brotherhood
and forgiveness between Muslims
and Christians and consolidates
the message of peace.
Despite the geopolitical back-
drop of the trip, the Catholic
Church in the Holy Land insisted
that the visit was aimed mainly at
spreading and promoting love,
cooperation and peace among all
inhabitants.
Francis, an Argentine Jesuit
who made forging relations with
Jews and Muslims a priority of his
tenure as archbishop of Buenos
Aires, will be the fourth pope to
visit the Holy Land after Paul VIs
landmark visit in 1964.
After decades of reluctance by
the Vatican to recognize the
Jewish state, the Polish-born
John Paul II forged formal rela-
tions in 1993, following it up
with an ofcial visit to Israel in
2000 that included stops at the
Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem
and at the Western Wall, where he
famously left a handwritten plea
asking forgiveness for Christian
persecution.

OPINION 9
A heavy heart
for the Middle East
Editor,
I read with a heavy heart your recent
op-ed (Warped zeal against
Christians, in the Jan. 2 edition of
the Daily Journal). As a Jew born in
Damascus, Syria, I know firsthand
the fear and destitute shared by most
Christians today in the Middle East
and various African countries who are
terrorized and murdered by extreme
Islamists under the banner of Jihad.
I cannot but feel sorry for these
Christians, unfortunately among them
a gentle soul, who dared in 1947 to
hide my family from a Muslim mob
running amok in Damascus and
screaming Itbah-el-Yahud (slaugh-
ter the Jews). If it was not for this
courageous Arab-Christian neighbor
that hid my family and helped us
escape from Damascus, we would be
all dead. Yet, it seems that most
newspapers and media outlets in the
West focus their reporting and
analyses regarding the Middle East
on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,
with a predominant bias against
Israel; they pay little attention to
the multitude of infighting between
the various Muslim sects there,
with an occasional tidbit about the
plight of the Christians at the hand
of marauding Islamists, be it the
bombing of church in Iraq, the
prosecution of Copts in Egypt and
the killing of scores in Niger. More
so, many Christian churches made
it their main policy to chastise
Israel and promote the boycott
movement of Israeli goods and
institutions, conveniently ignoring
the fact that the only safe place in
the Middle East that Christians can
live and prosper is in Israel.

NSA spying
Editor,
New revelations by the German pub-
lication, Der Spiegel, have provided
details of a super secretive unit inside
the National Security Agency (NSA),
called the Ofce of Tailored Access
Operations, or TAO (no connection to
the Chinese spiritual path). TAO has
developed new ways to invade our pri-
vacy, courtesy of Microsoft, by gain-
ing access to Windows users who
report technical problems (a frequent
occurrence).
In addition, new computer orders are
intercepted in transit and special mal-
ware is implanted to monitor all activ-
ity of unsuspecting users, all with a
wink and nod from Federal Express
and the United Parcel Service. Two
federal judges have harshly admon-
ished the NSAfor its dragnet surveil-
lance vastly exceeding its mandate
and thus violating the Constitution. A
panel appointed by President Obama
issued a strong indictment calling for
a major overhaul of the agency.
The congressional oversight com-
mittee has clearly failed in its mission
and its chairman, U.S. Sen. Dianne
Feinstein, should resign. It is not sur-
prising that her approval ratings have
plummeted following her vigorous
support for the NSAs highly ques-
t i onabl e act i vi t i es. We need more
whistleblowers like Snowden.
Remember how thousands of
Iraqis and Americans died based
on false claims of weapons of
mass destruction or the release of
the Pentagon Papers which
exposed the massive deceit of our
government and halted the war in
Vietnam?
In a landmark editorial, the New
York Times has called for some
form of clemency that would
allow Snowden to return home.

Its OK to blow
up planes if we do it
Editor,
Patrick Fields letter, Why do they
say that? (in the Dec. 21 edition of
the Daily Journal), laments that the
U.S. government, which is leading
the war on terrorism, is not even
willing to remember Moammar
Ghada as a terrorist, but rather gives
him a full pardon for his role in the
bombing of Pan Am 747 airliner over
Scotland. It seems like Mr. Fields
doesnt remember when CIAagents
Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando
Bosch planted a bomb on Cubana
Airlines Flight 455 in 1976, killing
all 73 passengers and crew members.
He can Google this and even hear the
pilots panic as they radioed the
tower to report a bomb going off
before the plane crashed into the sea.
Carriles was given a heros welcome
in the terrorist-supporting state of
Florida as he clandestinely returned to
the United States. Both Venezuela and
Cuba requested his return so he could be
tried for air piracy and murder, but the
United States refused to extradite him.
And, Mr. Fields, because of the
length of this response, I wont go
into any details about how the U.S.
Navy shot down an Iranian airbus,
killing all on board in 1988 ... oh,
and yes, the U.S. government did pay
$61.8 million to the survivors of the
290 murdered on that ight, but the
United States was never held to answer
or apologize for this act of terrorism.

L
aw and order and the economy
in Egypt continue to deterio-
rate under military rule, making
continued U.S. support of the Cairo
government installed in the June coup
detat increasingly precarious.
Hopes for democracy in Egypt
prompted by the events of the 2011
Arab Spring, including the overthrow
of President Hosni Mubarak, have rap-
idly diminished. Popular elections
were held in 2012 and Mohammed
Morsi, head of the Muslim
Brotherhood, won and was installed as
president. What was considered by
some Egyptians to be overly rapid
movement by Morsi to move the coun-
try to a more Islamic posture, brought
demonstrations against him.
The Egyptian military, which had
been in power since 1952, having
given itself important economic fran-
chises as well, felt threatened by
Morsis policies. Using the street
demonstrations against him as justi-
cation, the military overthrew him in a
coup led by Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi
in June.
Under U.S. law, the coup should have
led to a cessation of American aid to
Egypt, which totals about $2 billion a
year and is mostly military in nature.
Much of the $2 billion is used to reim-
burse U.S. defense contractors for pro-
duction and training that is part of the
military aid. As a result, and also
because of the strategic role that Egypt
has played for years in the U.S. pos-
ture in the Middle East region, includ-
ing in the protection of Israel,
President Barack Obama did not cut off
aid to the regime installed by the coup.
For show or for real, Egypts mili-
tary leaders have laid out a schedule for
a theoretical return to democratic rule
that includes a new constitution and
presidential elections. It is not clear at
this point which order they envisage
for the writing of the constitution and
the holding of elections or if Gen.
al-Sisi intends to be a candidate and
attempt to preserve military rule by
that means.
What is clear is that the Egyptian
military does not intend to relinquish
power, that the military coup was just
that and that Egyptians have seen the
last of democracy for now, at least
until they can wrest it once more from
military hands. The question is how
long that will take.
For the United States, the need to
separate itself from Egypts generals
by cutting off the remaining aid is
clear. Otherwise, U.S.-Egyptian rela-
tions will go down when the generals
ship does.

This is the season for outstanding movies as pro-
ducers prime for the Oscars. But some, not all, with
the full page promotional ads of best movie of the
year may disappoint. One of the big disappoint-
ments for holiday viewing was The Wolf of Wal l
Street whose director Martin Scorsese usually pro-
duces a winner (Raging Bull, The Departed, Taxi
Driver and Goodfellas). The star was Leonardo
DiCaprio who also excelled as J. Edgar Hoover and
Jay Gatsby. But the story of Jordan Belfort, a Wal l
Street conniver with a vulgar and dangerous lust for
money, was over the top. Its a true story based on a
book by Belfort, who served time in prison for
defrauding buyers with
worthless penny stocks.
The movie is not flatter-
ing, to say the least, so
it was weird to see a
photo of a happy Mr.
Belfort and his wife at
the premier of the film in
the Wall Street Journal.
Belfort is now a motiva-
tional speaker and earn-
ing a bundle for movie
rights to his book.
The reviews were
mixed. Joe Morgenstern
of the Wall Street Journal
enjoyed the first hour,
but eventually, the pan-
demonium wears you down; in my case, eventually
meant the end of the first hour with two more hours to
go. The New York Times was a bit kinder: Wildly
entertaining and completely appalling. ... Scorseses
three hour bacchanal of drugs, sex and greed zigs
across the line between satire and propaganda. ... Its
a vivid document of our times, and an essential arti-
fact for future archaeologists trying to figure out what
destroyed our civilization.
***
Inside Llewyn Davis was more confusing than dis-
appointing until I searched the web for reviews and
plot synopsis. Its a movie you think about after you
leave the theater, as in what does it all mean? Its
the story of a rootless folk singer who sleeps on the
couches of friends and acquaintances and has bad luck
most of the time. No happy ending in this Coen pro-
duction. Much more enjoyable and worthwhile were
Saving Mr. Banks about the author of Mary
Poppins; and Robert Redfords solo stand against the
sea in All is Lost, a truly masterful movie.
However, despite worthwhile movies, what has really
captured my nightly attention is the Netflix stream-
ing version of Breaking Bad. I have to admit I am
addicted to this series which has 60 plus episodes.
The story line constantly surprises, the characters are
real but mostly unlovable, and the violence is inno-
vative, to say the least. While the series is also about
drugs and money, unlike The Wolf of Wall Street, it
is not fun but terrifying. You get a feel for the
Mexican drug trade where the stakes are high and
killing people is part of the business. You also wit-
ness the life of people who spend or waste a good part
of their day getting high. None of this is presented in
a preachy way. Just great drama.
***
The week we saw The Wolf of Wall Street there
was news that the safety net for the 1.3 million long-
term unemployed would be gone by years end. Most
of the long-term unemployed are people who had
good, decent paying jobs but lost them in the finan-
cial debacle described in the movie. Maybe thats why
Scorsese went over the top. Maybe thats the propa-
ganda mentioned in the New York Times. The dispari-
ty between those in the upper 1 percent and everyone
else is not good news for the coming year. The econo-
my is recovering, but at a slow pace. Many former
jobs which were eliminated during the financial crash
are not coming back. People at the top, because they
are so few, dont spend enough to create enough jobs
for everyone else. Maybe its easier to concentrate on
sports and the NFL championships or on series like
Breaking Bad instead of trying to keep up with the
real world.

SEATTLE Under pressure from
national union leaders, machin-
ists in Washington state took a
late-night vote that deed their
local union bosses by narrowly
approving a new labor contract
that secures a coveted plane proj-
ect for the Seattle area but moves
workers away from pensions.
The tight count exposed deep
rifts in the once-powerful union,
but with plenty of states lining up
to give Boeing exactly what it
wanted to get work on the 777X,
the aerospace giant had a tremen-
dous advantage.
The company, the states gover-
nor and national union leaders all
hailed the contract as a vital boost
to the regions economy, but to
some observers the vote dealt a
blow to local union inuence.
It shows that even a strong
local is vulnerable and has a limit-
ed defensibility to slow the tide of
concessions that has been going
on across the country, said Leon
Grunberg, a sociology professor
at the University of Puget Sound
who co-authored a book,
Turbulence: Boeing and the State
of American Workers and
Managers.
He added Saturday, This is hap-
pening with a company thats
doing very well nancially.
Members of the International
Association of Machinists and
Aerospace Workers approved an
eight-year contract extension late
Friday by 51 percent, a turnaround
from November when the same
workers voted down a previous
offer by 67 percent.
The passing margin was about
600 votes of about 23, 900 count-
ed, accordi ng t o Wi l son
Ferguson, president of a local
unit of District 751.
Ferguson said Saturday that the
vote diminished the local unions
power since it conceded some
hard-fought benets they wont be
getting back.
Foes of the contract opposed the
i dea of freezi ng t he machi ni st s
pensi ons and movi ng workers
t o a defi ned-cont ri but i on sav-
i ngs pl an.
The very fact that Boeing was
making these demands in the rst
place just has to be seen as dis-
couraging for average workers,
said Jake Rosenfeld, a sociology
professor at the University of
Washington who has a forthcom-
ing book What Unions No
Longer Do.
This is a very strong union,
and if you have a strong union,
being forced into givebacks of
this sort . . . then you can just
imagine how little leverage other
workers have when negotiating,
he added.

SAN JOSE Celebrities, busi-
nesses and even the U. S. State
Department have bought bogus
Facebook likes, Twitter followers
or YouTube viewers from offshore
click farms, where workers tap,
tap, tap the thumbs up button,
view videos or retweet comments
to inflate social media numbers.
Si nce Facebook l aunched
almost 10 years ago, users have
sought to expand their social net-
works for financial gain, win-
ning friends, bragging rights and
professi onal cl out . And soci al
media companies cite the levels
of engagement to tout their value.
But an Associated Press exami-
nation has found a growing glob-
al marketplace for fake clicks,
which tech companies struggle to
police. Online records, industry
studies and interviews show com-
panies are capitalizing on the
opportunity to make millions of
dollars by duping social media.
For as little as a half cent each
click, websites hawk everything
from Li nkedIn connect i ons t o
make members appear more
employable to Soundcloud plays
to influence record label interest.
Anytime theres a monetary
val ue added t o cl i cks, t heres
going to be people going to the
dark side, said Mitul Gandhi,
CEO of seoClarity, a Des Plaines,
Ill. , social media marketing firm
t hat weeds out phony onl i ne
engagements.
Italian security researchers and
bl oggers Andrea St roppa and
Carla De Micheli estimated in
2013 that sales of fake Twitter
followers have the potential to
bring in $40 million to $360
million to date, and that fake
Facebook act i vi t i es bri ng i n
$200 million a year.
As a result, many firms, whose
values are based on credibility,
have entire teams doggedly pur-
suing the buyers and brokers of
fake clicks. But each time they
crack down on one, another, more
creative scheme emerges.
When software engineers wrote
computer programs, for example,
to generate lucrative fake clicks,
tech giants fought back with soft-
ware that screens out bot-gener-
ated clicks and began regularly
sweeping user accounts.
YouTube wiped out billions of
music industry video views last
December aft er audi t ors found
some videos apparently had exag-
gerated numbers of views. Its par-
ent -company, Googl e, i s al so
constantly battling people who
generate fake clicks on their ads.
And Facebook, whose most
recent quarterly report estimated
as many as 14. 1 million of its
1. 18 bi l l i on act i ve users are
fraudulent accounts, does frequent
purges. Thats particularly impor-
tant for a company that was built
on the principle that users are real
people.
Twi t t ers Ji m Prosser sai d
theres no upside. In the end,
t hei r account s are suspended,
theyre out the money and they
lose the followers, he said.
Li nkedIn spokesman Doug
Madey said buying connections
dilutes the member experience,
violates their user agreement and
can al so prompt account cl o-
sures.
Googl e and YouTube t ake
act i on agai nst bad act ors t hat
seek to game our systems, said
spokeswoman Andrea Faville.
Dhaka, Bangladesh, a city of 7
million in South Asia, is an inter-
national hub for click farms.
The CEO of Dhaka-based social
media promotion firm Unique IT
World said he has paid workers to
manually click on clients social
media pages, making it harder for
Facebook, Google and others to
catch them. Those accounts are
not fake, t hey were genui ne,
Shaiful Islam said.
A recent check on Facebook
showed Dhaka was the most pop-
ular city for many, including soc-
cer star Leo Messi, who has 51
million likes; Facebooks own
security page, which has 7. 7 mil-
l i on l i kes; and Googl es
Facebook page, which has 15. 2
million likes.
In 2013, the State Department,
which has more than 400, 000
likes and was recently most pop-
ular in Cairo, said it would stop
buying Facebook fans after its
inspector general criticized the
agency for spending $630, 000 to
boost the numbers.
In one case, its fan tally rose
from about 10, 000 to more than
2. 5 million.
Selling social media clicks becomes big business
By Mae Anderson
NEW YORK The Super
Bowl is still about a month
away but the ad blitzes are
already starting.
Pepsico plans to promote
the halftime show it is
sponsoring in a TV ad airing
Saturday.
The commercial is part of
a larger campaign by the
beverage giant aimed at
driving awareness for the
show during the 48th annual
big game on Fox on Feb. 2,
featuring singer Bruno
Mars.
Over the next few weeks
advertisers will start to give
more hints about what their
plans are for the big game,
taking place at the MetLife
Stadium in New Jersey, just
a short bus ride from New
York City. An estimated
108. 4 million people
watched the game on CBS in
2013, according to Nielsen.
Its the biggest game of
the year, and this year its in
the biggest city, said Lou
Arbetter, senior director,
trademark Pepsi.
Pepsi has been a Super
Bowl advertiser nearly
every year since 1986. Last
year it began sponsoring
the halftime show as a way
to help the brand stand out
from the crowded eld of
advertisers.
In an ad that starts run-
ning Saturday during the
NFL playoffs, Pepsi reimag-
ines how halftime began
with a scenario that shows a
1920s football game being
broken up when a car full of
women breaks down nearby.
They offer the players a
Pepsi break and halftime is
born.
Even the rst halftime
wasnt halftime without
Pepsi, the voiceover
states. Other components
on the monthlong cam-
paign, for which spending
was not disclosed, include a
ticket giveaway for the half-
time show and subway
wraps and digital billboards
in New York.
Pepsi also has a 30-sec-
ond ad during the game lead-
ing into the halftime per-
formance, but so far has
been mum on the details.

BCS TITLE GAME: ITS TEAM DESTINY VS. TEAM DOMINATION >> PAGE 15

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
While the Peninsula Athletic Leagues
South Division may be a tossup this sea-
son, in the North Division, there is an over-
whelming favorite: Half Moon Bay.
The Cougars are the defending South
Division champ and there are high expecta-
tions around the program this season.
Coach Rich Forslund has already declared
the Open Division of the Central Coast
Section playoffs as the main goal and they
are not expected to be seriously challenged
by the rest of the division.
Thats leaves the rest of the division to
battle for second place and a handful of
teams are poised to duke it out. While the
chasm between Half Moon Bay and the rest
of the division remains wide, the difference
between second and seventh will be razor
thin.
The following is a look at the North
Division, in alphabetical order. All records
are through Saturday, based on results post-
ed on MaxPreps.com
El Camino (0-9)
Ayear ago, the Colts were putting togeth-
er a Northern California tournament team,
taking El Cerrito to the wire before losing
in the Nor Cal opener.
The Colts graduated nearly every player of
signicance from that team and a new coach
is charged with guiding them through a
rebuilding period this season.
The Colts have taken a pounding in sever-
al games during the preseason, but they can
hang their hat on the fact their most com-
petitive games have come against PALcom-
petition. The dropped a ve-point decision
to Carlmont and seven-point loss to
Aragon.
Half Moon Bay (9-1, M-A Saturday)
This is the year for the Cougars. Coming
off its second-straight 20-win season and
second-straight Central Coast Section
Division IV title game, Half Moon Bay has
the experience and talent to make 2014 a

GREEN BAY, Wis. Home or away. Late
summer or during one of the coldest nights
of the year.
Doesnt matter where or when the San
Francisco 49ers keep guring out how to
beat the Green Bay Packers.
Phil Dawson kicked a 33-yard eld goal as
time expired, and Colin Kaepernick threw
for 227 yards and ran for another 98 to lead
the 49ers past the Packers 23-20 on Sunday
night in a frigid NFC wild-card game.
In a back-and-forth fourth quarter, the
49ers (13-4) threw the final punch.
Kaepernick escaped a blitz on third-and-8
and scrambled for an 11-yard gain to the 27
with 1:13 left.
Just trying to gure out a way to get that
rst down, Kaepernick said. Had a play
called, we didnt get the look that we want-
ed. It worked out for us.
Dawson nailed the winning kick five
plays later but only after nearly being
blocked by edge rusher Davon House. He
was whistled for offsides on the play, but
the 49ers declined the penalty with the win
in hand.
The defending NFC champions came away
with a huge win in conditions that resem-
bled a meat locker. It was 5 degrees at kick-
off, and the winds made it feel like minus-
10.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
After closing out non-conference play
with an easy 72-52 victory over visiting
Cabrillo College on Saturday, College of
San Mateos womens basketball team will
open Coast North play on Wednesday (Jan.
8) at conference favorite City College of
San Francisco at 5 p.m. CCSF (12-3) i s
currently ranked No. 8 in the state and
defeated Mission, 88-78, on Saturday.
The Bulldogs (8-6) scored the rst seven
points against Cabrillo, including ve by
sophomore guard Kay Cooper (out of South
San Francisco High), and never looked
back. It was 22-5 mid-way through the peri-
od and 40-22 at the half.
Cooper led the Bulldogs with 17 points,
11 in the rst half. Five of her six eld
goals were three-pointers. Freshman guard
Mia Maffei (from El Camino High) had her
best game with 14 points, coming off the
bench. That included ve points to key a
CSM 11-point run near the end that killed
any lingering Seahawks comeback hopes.
Her previous high game was 11 points
against Solano in November.
Sophomore forward Kate Larson (Notre
Dame Belmont) added eight points. Season
scoring leader McKenna Hilton (Half Moon
Bay) had seven points. Her average is 11. 7
and she remains the only San Mateo player
scoring in double gures.
CSM will play at San Jose CC (1-12) on
Friday before hosting Las Positas (7-8) in
the conference home opener on Jan. 15
(5:30 p.m.).
Menlo Oaks wrestling places second
A full day of wrestling came to a close
inside Haynes-Prim Pavilion last Saturday
afternoon with the No. 18 Menlo grapplers
earning a second place team nish and saw
seven different wrestlers place in the high-
ly-competitive tournament.
The solid performance resulted in three
Oaks taking home top-billing in their
respective weight class including: Troy
Lakin (125 pounds), Jason Ladd (149
pounds) and Eric Lopez (165 pounds).
The No. 1 wrestler in the nation at 165
pounds, Lopez, was dominant once again on
Saturday, posting a perfect 4-0 record which
included a pin and a major decision. In his
rst match of the afternoon, Lopez pinned
San Francisco States AJ Simon at the 2:11
mark. He followed that performance up with
a 16-2 major decision over Zack Dawson
and then earned a close 3-2 decision win
over Southern Oregon Universitys Garrett
Urrutia to put him in the nals.
In the nals, Lopez faced off with Vince
Aboytes (SFSU) and scored early and often
to earn a 9-3 decision and take home top
honors at 165 pounds.
Menlo School 3, Pacic Grove 1
The Menlo boys varsity soccer team (2-2-
2 overall) defeated Pacic Grove 3-1 to wrap
up their Monterey trip.
Menlo started the game strong and were
quickly ahead. Senior captain John Strong
received a piercing through ball from junior
midelder Peter Rosston and condently
slotted it by the Pacic Grove keeper.
A few minutes later sophomore striker
Will Chisholm icked on a throw-in that
fell to fellow sophomore Matt Joss in the
box. Joss held off his defender and beat the
Breaker goalie to put Menlo two up just f-
teen minutes in.
The Knights put the game away after
Chisholm was fouled in the box and the ref
awarded Menlo a penalty kick in the second
half. Justin Wang stepped up and calmly
slotted the ball past the keeper to put the
game out of reach.
We have a very young team but our per-
formances the last two games show that we
are starting to come together at the right
time, said second year coach Marc Kerrest
via email. It is difcult to single anyone
out as the entire team put in a solid perform-
ance today. The Knights open league play
Wednesday January 8th at home against
Pinewood.
Other Local Scores
In other local scores, Wooside girls used
a second-half goal to stay unbeaten and
defeat Sacred Heart Prep 1-0. ... SHP boys
basketball outlasted Serra High School 48-
47 on the road. ... Corbin Koch led the way

WASHINGTON Klay Thompson
scored 26 points, Stephen Curry and
Andrew Bogut connected on a trick
play worthy of the NBAs slam dunk
contest, and the Golden State Warriors
have their longest in-season winning
streak since 1975 after Sunday nights
112-96 win over the Washington
Wizards.
The Warriors won their ninth in a
row by turning the third quarter into a
laugher, opening the period with a 30-
5 run that included a sequence in which
Curry drove into the paint and sent the
ball ying out of his hand and off the
backboard above the rim. The carom
went right to a leaping Bogut, who
timed the play perfectly for a dunk,
then stared at his right hand with
mouth agape as he ran down court.
The Warriors hadnt won nine
straight in the same season since a 10-
game run from Dec. 6-23, 1975. They
also had a nine-game regular season
winning streak that overlapped the
1990-91 and 1991-92 seasons. Golden
State is 5-0 on its season-long, seven-
game, 13-day road trip and moved into
a tie with the Los Angeles Clippers
atop the Pacic Division.
Curry and Thompson topped John
Wall and Bradley Beal in the battle of
the two highest-scoring backcourts in
the NBA. Curry scored 14 points on 5-
for-17 shooting, but the leagues most
turnover-prone player had 10 assists
and only two giveaways. Thompson
was 9 for 14 from the eld, including 6
for 9 from 3-point range.
David Lee added 21 points and 11
rebounds, and Bogut nished with 15
points and 11 rebounds.
Wall had 14 points and 10 assists,
but he shot 4 for 11, including 1 for 5
in the crucial third quarter. Beal, who
remains on a minutes restriction
because of a left leg injury, scored nine
points and 4-for-15 shooting. The
Wizards made only 6 of 21 shots in the
third quarter, and they hit bottom when
Nene committed two backcourt bad-
pass turnovers in a span of six sec-
onds.
Nene also scored 14 points for the
Wizards, who have lost three straight
and four of six.
The rst half, by contrast, was as
competitive as could be. The teams
were tied 58-58 at the break, each with
22 eld goals and 13 assists. The
Wizards were 14 for 21 from the eld in
the rst quarter, and a 9-0 run gave
them a 10-point lead early in the sec-
ond, but the Warriors came back with a
run that included Currys behind-the-
back pass to Lee an assist that
would be eclipsed by the off-the-back-
board feed to Bogut in the second half.
NOTES: There was a bizarre call in
the rst half when Wall crashed into
Bogut in the lane. Bogut was initially
whistled for a block, but ofcials con-
ferred during a timeout and ruled that
fouls were committed by both players.
Make it 9 for red-hot Warriors
Deep freeze puts
chill in tailgating
in Green Bay
GREEN BAY, Wis. Jeff Giardinelli embraced the cold
outside Lambeau Field dressed in a No. 8 Steve Young jer-
sey, red San Francisco 49ers knit cap and Candlestick Park-
themed scarf.
Hell remember his rst visit to Green Bay for a while,
and not just because beloved 49ers beat the Packers 23-20
in the NFC wild-card game Sunday.
An arctic front pushing through the Midwest made the
game one of the coldest in NFL history. During its telecast,
Fox reported the temperature dipped to 2 degrees and the
wind chill was minus-11.
It is not that cold, it is all mental, 49ers quarterback
Colin Kaepernick said. Just look at Bow (All-Pro line-
backer NaVorro Bowman) with no sleeves.
The meat-locker conditions put a chill on outdoor tail-
gating and had fans heading into Lambeau early to warm up
with free coffee and hot chocolate.
Refreshing, Giardinelli, of Fresno, Calif. , exclaimed
as he walked across a parking lot with friend Jeff Morgan.
We suited up, we brought all the snowboarding gear we use
out there and added to it. Without the wind, which isnt here
yet, were good. When it gets windy, well be ready for it.
Morgan wasnt quite as convinced.
He says refreshing. I say its cold as heck, said
Morgan, also from Fresno. Hes not a 49ers fan but wanted
to come this weekend for what he called the Lambeau
atmosphere.
It was 5 degrees by kickoff at mid-afternoon, though a
northwest wind made it feel like minus-10. Winds increased
through the evening.
That apparently meant little to some of the players like
Bowman. Each member of the starting offensive line of the

special year.
With four of ve starters return-
ing from last years PAL North
Division championship, and 10
returners who saw signicant play-
ing time last season, the Cougars
are head and shoulders better than
the rest of the division.
Senior center Rico Nuo will be
in the running for player of the year
honors and will challenge
Burlingames Nick Loew for title of
best post player in the PAL. Nuo
has continued to grow, adding a
dribble-drive aspect to his game.
He can put the ball on the oor and
take defenders off the dribble. He
can even step out and knock down
3-pointers. Add in the sharp-shoot-
ing prowess of shooting guard
Corey Cilia and the Cougars have
as good an inside-out tandem in the
league. Case DuFrane, a junior, is
developing into a nice third
option, averaging just under eight
points per game.
Half Moon Bays biggest tests
this season have come against
local competition, having beaten
Menlo-Atherton and Menlo School
by a combined ve points. They
also had a difficult time with
Aragon and Burlingame.
Jefferson (4-6)
The Indians have been mostly
solid in the preseason and with a
few breaks could have a few more
wins. They have been competitive
in all but a couple games. They
proved they can play with teams in
the PAL, suffering a three-point
loss to Terra Nova and beating
Capuchino by seven.
Jefferson has already equaled its
win total from a season ago and can
only improve on last years 2-8
league mark.
Oceana (5-5)
The Sharks are in the running for
most improved team in the PAL.
After winning only one game last
season, the Sharks appeared to
have turned it around this season.
They opened the year with a cou-
ple of blowout losses, but then
ripped off three wins in a row.
They have only three returning
players, including senior forward
Nick Phinn and senior guard Jason
Ghirarduzzi. Matthew Bonilla, a 6-
1 wing player, enters his sopho-
more year with a year of varsity
experience under his belt. Look for
freshman guard Isiah Margate to
get plenty of run this season, while
the addition of 6-4 forward/center
Miguel Contreras gives the Sharks
some beef in the paint.
South San Francisco (4-5)
The Warriors have played one of
the more rugged preseason sched-
ules, facing the likes of Los Gatos,
St. Patrick-St. Vincent and
Berkeley and it remains to be
seen if those tough matchups help
in PALplay. South City does own a
win over San Mateo, so the
Warriors should, at the very least,
be competitive most nights.
Last seasons 7-15 squad (3-9
PAL North) was senior-heavy, so
the Warriors have only four return-
ing players in junior guard Eric
Watkins, along with senior wings
Alex Lew, Derrick Lim and Andre
Diosmito.
The Warriors do have an inux of
young talent that should help this
season and into next. Romel
Greene is a sophomore forward and
Claudio Perez is a freshman post
player.
Terra Nova (5-6)
If Half Moon Bay stumbles, Terra
Nova could be the team to take
advantage. The always rugged
Tigers have lost three in a row, but
they are 3-1 against teams from the
PAL, including a 49-46 win over
North rival Jefferson.
The Tigers are one of the more
physical teams in the PAL and they
are not afraid of contact. David
Smathers, Sean Gregg, Sydney
Golden and Dominic DeSouza are
all 6-foot and over, and 200
pounds or better. DeSouza clocks in
at 6-7, 265.
All told, the Tigers feature 10
players 6-foot or taller.
Jaylend Jones provides the spark
offensively from his guard posi-
tion. There may be no faster player
in the PAL and Jones has the skills
to take advantage of it on the court.
Westmoor (2-9)
The Rams could be in for a long
year after going 23-5, 9-3 in North
Division play and capturing the
PAL tournament title a season ago.
Forget the nine losses, the impor-
tant number is four: thats the num-
ber of PAL teams the Rams have
faced this preseason and those are
ve of their nine losses. Granted,
all four were against teams from the
PAL South, and while the Rams
were competitive in all four con-
tests, they could not get over the
hump.
Westmoor graduated 10 from last
seasons squad, including all three
captains and most of its starting
lineup. They do return ve players
from that team, including juniors
Alton Chen, Bruce Newbeck and
Toby Mak, all who played varsity
as sophomores last year. Apair of
senior returners guard Hargel
Magante and Cameron post player
Cameron Cook will have to pro-
vide senior leadership.

Destiny vs. Team Domination.
Before the Bowl Championship
Series is replaced next year by a
playoff, No. 1 Florida State and
No. 2 Auburn will meet in its last
title game Monday night at the
Rose Bowl.
The Seminoles (13-0) ripped
through their schedule on the way
to Pasadena, winning each game
by at least 14 points behind
Heisman Trophy winner Jameis
Winston.
I still think our best game is
out there, Florida State coach
Jimbo Fisher said Sunday. Im
looking forward to playing it on
Monday night, and our kids are
looking forward to the challenge.
The turnaround Tigers (12-1) are
the most unlikely group ever to
reach the BCS championship
game. Auburn went from 3-9 to
Southeastern Conference champi-
ons in their first season under
coach Gus Malzahn. It was a wild
ride. The Prayer at Jordan-Hare
beat Georgia. The Kick-Six beat
Alabama. Destiny? Fate? Luck?
The Tigers dont see it that way.
Hey, I know were a team of
hard work, I know that, said tail-
back Tre Mason, a Heisman nal-
ist who has run for 1,621 yards and
22 touchdowns for the No. 1 rush-
ing offense in the country. These
guys put a lot of hard work in with
me every day, blood, sweat and
tears all year long.
Auburn is the rst team to reach
the BCS championship game after
having a losing season the previ-
ous season, and would become the
rst national champion to start
the season unranked since BYU in
1984.
After 16 years of the BCS, the
routine is familiar the day before
the big game.
The coaches hold their final
early morning news conferences,
and then take a few minutes to
shake hands with each other,
exchange pleasantries and pose
for pictures with the crystal foot-
ball trophy that goes to the win-
ner.
On Sunday it was Fisher, the
fast-talking West Virginian and
Nick Saban disciple, and Malzahn,
who has gone from high school
coach in Arkansas to the national
championship game in eight
years, running the drill.
Malzahn, who was the Tigers
offensive coordinator when they
won the 2010 national title, said
Sunday he told his players before
the season one of their goals was
to make the biggest turnaround in
college football. Done. Auburn
has already matched the 2000
Hawaii team for most improved
record in FBS history.
Well, Auburn is a great program
and used to winning champi-
onships, so I knew that we were
going to get it turned around, he
said. I didnt know how quick.
There was a lot of questions when
we rst got there. We did a lot of
Dr. Phil-ing early, and our guys
came together and they believed.

Sunday in the divisional round.
They got us the rst time, line-
backer NaVarro Bowman said, refer-
ring to Carolinas 10-9 win on Nov.
10. Whats on our minds is to get
them now. Its the playoffs. Win or go
home.
Mason Crosbys 24-yard eld goal
tied it at 20 for the Packers (8-8-1)
with 5:06 left before the 49ers nal
drive.
Until then, Packers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers did his best to turn into
Captain Comeback again. After a
slow rst quarter, Rodgers nished 17
of 26 for 177 yards and touchdown.
Kaepernick connected with a spin-
ning Vernon Davis down the seam for a
28-yard touchdown pass with 10:39
left. The score quickly answered John
Kuhns 1-yard touchdown run that
briey gave the Packers a four-point
lead.
That TD was set up after Rodgers, in
the clutches of a 49ers defender, some-
how managed to escape a sack on
fourth-and-2 and found Randall Cobb
for a 26-yard gain to the Niners 4.
Eddie Lacy ran for 81 yards on 21
carries for the Packers, while Frank
Gore had 66 yards and a touchdown on
20 carries for the 49ers.
Michael Crabtree had eight catches
for 125 yards for San Francisco.
But it was Kaepernick who was the
difference-maker once again in San
Franciscos fourth straight win over
Green Bay. He nished 16 of 30 with
the touchdown and an interception.
For the second year in a row, the
Packers season has started and ended
with losses to the 49ers. The latest
edition of whats turned into a chippy
and heated rivalry took place on the
worn, frozen turf of Lambeau Field.
In a memorable playoff debut last
January, Kaepernick ran for a quarter-
back playoff-record 181 yards and a
pair of touchdowns. In the season
opener in September, the strong-
armed quarterback threw for a career-
best 412 yards and three scores.
This time, he did his damage on the
ground and through the air.

CINCINNATI Dump it off to
the running back, hand it off, let

there.
Philip Rivers didnt have to do a
whole lot to get a playoff win. Not
with the way San Diegos defense
was dominating.
And not with the way Andy
Dalton was coming apart in the
playoffs again.
The Chargers took advantage of
Daltons three turnovers in the
second half on Sunday, pulling
away to a 27-10 victory that
extended San Diegos late-season
surge and pushed the Bengals
postseason misery to record lev-
els.
With Rivers making accurate
throws in the chilling rain, the
Chargers (10-7) won their fth in a
row, beating the last team that had
knocked them off. Theyll play
next Sunday in Denver, which has
the AFCs top seed.
The Chargers lost at home to the
Broncos 28-20 on Nov. 10, then
went to Denver and got a rejuve-
nating 27-20 victory on Dec. 12
that gave them momentum.
We will be confident, said
Rivers, who was 12 of 16 for 128
yards with a touchdown and no
interceptions on a rainy, 40-
degree afternoon. Weve got to be
careful were not overconfident,
which we wont be. Cincinnati
came to our place and won ve
weeks ago.
The Bengals (11-6) won in San
Diego 17-10 on Dec. 1, starting
their nal push toward the AFC
North title. They took advantage
of three turnovers in that one.
They turned it over four times on
Sunday, with Daltons fumble and
two interceptions in the second
half leading to one of the most
stunning losses in franchise his-
tory. The Bengals had been 8-0 at
home and brought the NFLs No. 3
defense their highest-ever play-
off ranking into the game.
With everything in their favor,
they unraveled in the second half,
getting outscored 20-0.
The Bengals now have the
sixth-longest streak of playoff
futility in NFL history, stretching
all the way back to the 1990 sea-
son. Theyve lost their playoff
opener three straight years,
matching a league record, accord-
ing to STATS LLC.
Whatever you do during the
regular season doesnt matter once
you get to the playoffs, said
Dalton, who is 0-3 in the playoffs.
Its disappointing. All the good
stuff we did this year, then to come
out and not win this game kind of
hurts.
Coach Marvin Lewis fell to 0-5
in the playoffs during his 11 sea-
sons as head coach, but is expect-
ed to stick around and get another
chance to try again.
Alot of it falls on Dalton, who
has a trilogy of bad playoff games.
He fumbled and threw two inter-
ceptions in the second half.
Dalton nished 29 of 51 for 334
yards with a below-average passer
rating of 67.
The Chargers pressured him in
the second half and took advan-
tage of his mistakes. And they did-
nt turn the ball over in a conser-
vative offense that sometimes
grated on Rivers but ultimately
worked.
The way our defense was play-
ing, as long as we didnt have a
disaster and we made plays when
they were there, we were going to
win this game, Rivers said.
Combined with the Saints vic-
tory over the Eagles on Saturday
night, the two No. 6 playoff seeds
won for the rst time since 2010,
when the Packers won the Super
Bowl.
And the Chargers are thinking:
Why not us?
Were loose, were condent,
were peaking at the right time,
safety Eric Weddle said. We are a
team to be dealt with. Were a con-
dent bunch, especially in the sec-
ond half, in the fourth quarter. We
feel were ready for those situa-
tions.

T
he year was 1985. I was roaming
the halls as a senior at Serra High
School just like the Brat Pack kids
from The Breakfast Club. Ronnie was in
the White House. Only one friend had a
home computer, but everyone had shrink-
to-t 501 jeans. Wham!, Phil Collins and
Huey Lewis were atop the music charts and
the 49ers won their second of ve Super
Bowls. That year, my family had our rst
experience with PHS/SPCA. Our dog died
and we brought her to the shelter. Like
many Peninsula residents at the time, we
knew of the shelter as that old place out at
Coyote Point. You went there to spring
your dog from the pound, to have a pet
disposed of or put to sleep. I didnt
know anyone who adopted; we got our
pets from friends whose dogs and cats had
litters. Today, more and more people are
aware of our full range of services, includ-
ing spay/neuter surgeries at a fraction of
the cost of what someone would pay at a
private vet clinic. We also offer low-cost
vaccinations, a free animal behavior
helpline, low-cost obedience classes, ani-
mal abuse investigations, free sheltering

tims and Red Cross clients and educator
docent visit to our countys schools. And,
our adoption fees arent much more today
than they were in 1985 (yet, include more
bonuses, like microchips). Over a three-
day weekend last month, we placed more
than 60 pets into new homes. 1985 wasnt
so bad; Ill take Huey Lewis and a 49ers
title (you can keep Wham!). But, today,
our communitys animals and the people
who care for and about them can answer
nobody! to Niners Coach Jim

By David B. Caruso
NEW YORK For all its 147
years, the American Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals has been more than an
advocacy group; it has served as
the primary law enforcement
agency for animal abuse and neg-
lect in New York City.
That role, the rst of its kind in
the nation, led to a squad of uni-
formed agents who ashed badges,
carried guns, made arrests, trav-
eled in blue-and-white squad cars
and, for years, starred in an
Animal Planet reality TV show,
Animal Precinct.
But now, that unit is losing its
bite. In December, the ASPCAlaid
off most of its 17 remaining law
enforcement agents. Their respon-
sibilities will be left to the New
York Police Department.
The change is one that has been
sought for years by some animal
advocates, who said the ASPCAs
small enforcement staff couldnt
handle the volume of abuse reports
and was taking weeks or months
to respond to calls regular police
could probably get to in hours.
Others are concerned that with-
out a team focused on animal
abuse, it could be given a lower
priority by ofcers dealing with a
full plate of human-on-human
crimes.
If they think they can just give
this to regular police ofcers and
have them handle it, theyre
crazy, said David Favre, an expert
on animal law at the Michigan
State University. Its hard work.
Its different work. Its important
work. And its sad that the ASPCA
isnt doing it anymore.
Over the past few years, the
ASPCAs humane law enforcement
division has handled about 4,000
investigations annually and made
about one arrest per week, accord-
ing to the nonprot group. Tens of
thousands of additional abuse
reports came in through a hotline
with tips surging from 2001 to
2008, when Animal Precinct
was on the air.
The changes were initially put
into motion in August following
the spring appointment of the
ASPCA President Matthew
Bershadker, who previously led
the organizations anti-cruelty
division. Bershadker has said the
NYPDs more than 34,000 ofcers
are simply better positioned to
keep up with the huge volume of
complaints.
The NYPD has always had the
ability to investigate and make
arrests in animal abuse cases, but
it doesnt currently have a unit
dedicated to that task.
As part of a pilot program,
NYPD ofcers have been handling
animal abuse complaints in the
Bronx since September, said
ASPCA spokeswoman Emily
Schneider.
During that four-month peri-
od, she said, the NYPD has
responded in a positive way that
illustrates how their size and
scope will allow them to enforce
animal cruelty laws across NYC
better than we could on our own.
Enforcement has been a primary
part of the ASPCAs mission since
it was founded in 1866. Founder
Henry Bergh persuaded state law-
makers to enact the nations rst
anti-cruelty law; they also gave
his new organization unprecedent-
ed powers to police the new rules.
Much of the organizations
early work involved horses,
which was then the primary means
of transportation in the city. But
Bergh also personally led investi-
gations of dog- and rat-ghting
rings, even dropping in from a
skylight during a raid on the citys
most notorious dog pit, according
to an ASPCAhistory.
Over the years, the unit has
arrested countless people accused
of beating pets and seized multi-
tudes of mistreated animals. In
1995, in one of its biggest busts,
ASPCAagents arrested nearly 300
spectators at a cockght in a for-
mer Bronx movie theater. When
the city began requiring dog
licenses, ASPCA agents were
responsible for checking collars.
As the ASPCA has grown into a
national advocacy group, the New
York City enforcement operation
has become a smaller part of its
operation.
Of the nearly $169 million the
organization spent in 2012, the
largest chunks went to animal
health services and public educa-
tion programs, according to the
ASPCAs lings with the Internal
Revenue Service. It spent $27 mil-
lion on anti-cruelty programs, but
only part of that amount related to
the humane law enforcement
department in New York City. The
ASPCA also has a eld investiga-
tions team that works nationally
and will continue operating, as
well as a cruelty intervention team
in New York City that responds to
neglect complaints, counsels
owners and often takes custody of
animals but has no enforcement
powers.
Garo Alexanian, founder of the
Companion Animal Network, an
animal rescue group, praised the
ASPCAs decision to shift law
enforcement duties to the NYPD.
He said the ASPCAdidnt have the
resources to do the job right.
Youre talking about 18, 19, 21
people trying to handle tens of
thousands of calls, he said. The
existence of the unit, he said, also
gave regular police the opportuni-
ty to pass the buck on animal
complaints, he said.
Several of the agents let go by
the nonprot in the past few days
said they doubted their work would
be folded into regular police oper-
ations.
I think the animals are in trou-
ble, said Joann Sandano, one of
the dismissed agents.
She said that while she was sure
that many police ofcers love ani-
mals and would tackle abuse com-
plaints with enthusiasm, they will
always be under pressure to deal
with crimes against humans rst.
In the past, they just didnt
have the manpower and the time to
do it, said another former ASPCA
agent, Debbie Ryan. Theyre
overwhelmed as it is.

CHICAGO Snow-covered
roads and high winds created
treacherous driving Sunday from
the Dakotas to Michigan and
Missouri as residents braced for
the next round of bad weather:
dangerously cold temperatures
that could break records across
much of the nation.
Temperatures were being sup-
pressed by a polar vortex, a
counterclockwise-rotating pool
of cold, dense air that will affect
more than half of the continental
U.S. throughout Sunday and into
Monday and Tuesday, with wind
chill warnings stretching from
Montana to Alabama.
The forecast is extreme: 25
below zero in Fargo, N.D., minus
31 in International Falls, Minn.,
and 15 below in Indianapolis and
Chicago. Wind chills what it
feels like outside when high
winds are factored into the tem-
perature could drop into the
negative 50s and 60s.
Northeastern Montana was warned
Sunday of wind chills up to 59
below zero.
Its just a dangerous cold,
National Weather Service meteor-
ologist Butch Dye in Missouri
said.
Several Midwestern states were
walloped by up to a foot of new
snow on Sunday. Five to 9 inches
fell in the Chicago area by Sunday
afternoon, while the St. Louis
area had about a foot of snow and
northern Indiana had at least 8
inches. Central Illinois was brac-
ing for 8 to 10 inches, and south-
ern Michigan could see up to 15
inches.
Ofcials closed several Illinois
roadways because of drifting
snow, and warned residents to stay
inside. Roads in the Midwest were
particularly dangerous, and of-
cials in Missouri warned it was
too cold for rock salt to be very
effective.
Authorities also urged residents
to check on elderly and disabled
relatives and neighbors.
In Chicago, temperatures were
expected to bottom out around
minus 15 overnight, likely set-
ting a daily record, National
Weather Service meteorologist Ed
Fenelon said. Earlier Sunday, tem-
peratures sank to 20-below and
colder in northern Minnesota and
Grand Forks, N.D.
Despite the dangerous cold,
Green Bay Packers fans were
expected to pack Lambeau Field
for Sundays NFL playoff game
against the San Francisco 49ers.
It could be among the coldest ever
played: It was 5 degrees at kickoff
at 3:40 p.m. CST, warmer than
expected.
We suited up, we brought all
the snowboarding gear we use ...
and added to it, said 49ers fan Jeff
Giardinelli of Fresno, as he walked
across a parking lot with a friend.
Without the wind, which isnt
here yet, were good. When it gets
windy, well be ready for it.
It hasnt been this cold for
almost two decades in many parts
of the country. Frostbite and
hypothermia can set in quickly at
15 to 30 below zero.
Lorna West, a 43-year-old stu-
dent and consultant from
Columbus, Ohio, said she doesnt
believe people unaccustomed to
such weather are ready for whats
coming.
AChicago native, she said ther-
mal underwear, lots of layers and
Eskimo coats with zipped
hoods to block the wind were the
norm growing up.
And dont go out if you dont
have to, she said.
In Michigan, residents jammed
stores to stock up on supplies.
I made my husband go grocery
shopping last night, said Kim
Tarnopol, 46, of the Detroit sub-
urb of Huntington Woods.
Tarnopol was picking up cold
medicine Sunday for her daughter
Emma at a CVS in nearby Berkley,
Mich.
Travel problems started early
Sunday. In New York City, a plane
from Toronto landed at Kennedy
International Airport and then
slid into snow on a taxiway. No
one was hurt, though the airport
temporarily suspended operations
because of icy runways.
About 1,200 ights had been
cancelled Sunday at OHare and
Midway international airports in
Chicago, aviation ofcials said,
and there also were cancellations
at Logan International Airport in
Boston and Tennessees Memphis
and Nashville international air-
ports.
School was called off Monday
for the entire state of Minnesota,
as well as cities and districts in
Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana
and Iowa, among others. Chicago
ofcials said school would be in
session for the nations third-
largest district, though absences
would be excused.
Southern states are bracing for
possible record temperatures, too,
with single-digit highs expected
Tuesday in Georgia and Alabama.
Temperatures are expected to dip
into the 30s in parts of Florida on
Tuesday. But Florida Citrus Mutual
spokesman Andrew Meadows said
it must be at 28 degrees or lower
four hours straight for fruit to
freeze badly.
In western Kentucky, Smithland
farmer David Nickell moved extra
hay to the eld and his animals
out of the wind. Hed also stocked
up on batteries and gas and loaded
up the pantry and freezer. The
2009 ice storm that paralyzed the
state and knocked out power to
hundreds of thousands of people
is fresh in his mind.
We are hoping this isnt going
to be more than a few days of cold
weather, but we did learn with the
ice storm that you can wake up in
the 19th century and you need to
be able to not only survive, but be
comfortable and continue with
your basic day-to-day functions,
Nickell said.
In Mt. Prospect, Ill., Steve
White spent part of Sunday raking
his roof with a specially made
pole to prevent icicles as he pre-
pares for a trip to Costa Rica in
the coming days. He also
installed a thermostat that direct-
ly faces a window, so a neighbor
can check to make sure his furnace
is working.
Im just glad Im here to take
care of it, he said.

LOS ANGELES Phil Everly, who formed
an inuential harmony duo with his brother,
Don, that touched the hearts and sparked the
imaginations of rock n roll singers for
decades, including the Beatles and Bob
Dylan, died Friday. He was 74.
Everly died of chronic obstructive pul-
monary disease at a Burbank hospital, said
his son Jason Everly.
Phil and Don Everly helped draw the blue-
print of rock n roll in the late 1950s and
1960s with a high harmony that captured
the yearning and angst of a nation of
teenage baby boomers looking for a way to
express themselves beyond the simple plat-
itudes of the pop music of the day.
The Beatles, early in their career, once
referred to themselves as the English
Everly Brothers. And Bob Dylan once said,
We owe these guys everything. They start-
ed it all.
The Everlys hit records included the then-
titilating Wake Up Little Susie and the
universally identiable Bye Bye Love,
each featuring their twined voices with
lyrics that mirrored the fatalism of country
music and a rocking backbeat that more
upbeat pop. These sounds and ideas would be
warped by their devotees into a new kind of
music that would ricochet around the world.
In all, their career spanned ve decades,
although they performed separately from
1973 to 1983. In their heyday between
1957 and 1962, they had 19 top 40 hits.
The two broke up amid quarrelling in 1973
after 16 years of hits, then reunited in 1983,
sealing it with a hug, Phil Everly said.
Although their number of hit records declined
in the late 1980s, they made successful concert
tours in this country and Europe.
They were inducted into the Rock n Roll
Hall of Fame in 1986, the same year they had
a hit pop-country record, Born Yesterday.
Don Everly was born in 1937 in Brownie,
Ky., to Ike and Margaret Everly, who were
folk and country music singers. Phil Everly
was born to the couple on Jan. 19, 1939, in
Chicago where the Everlys moved to from
Brownie when Ike grew tired of working in
the coal mines.
The brothers began singing country music
in 1945 on their familys radio show in
Shenandoah, Iowa.
Their career breakthrough came when they
moved to Nashville in the mid-1950s and
signed a recording contract with New York-
based Cadence Records.
Their breakup came dramatically during a
concert at Knotts Berry Farm in California.
Phil Everly threw his guitar down and walked
off, prompting Don Everly to tell the crowd,
The Everly Brothers died 10 years ago.
During their breakup, they pursued solo
singing careers with little fanfare. Phil also
appeared in the Clint Eastwood movie
Every Which Way but Loose. Don made a
couple of records with friends in Nashville,
performed in local nightclubs and played
guitar and sang background vocals on
recording sessions.
Don Everly said in a 1986 Associated
Press interview that the two were successful
because we never followed trends. We did
what we liked and followed our instincts.
Rock n roll did survive, and we were right
about that. Country did survive, and we were
right about that. You can mix the two but
people said we couldnt.
Phil Everly, half of pioneer rock duo, dies at 74
The Everly Brothers perform at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in December 1970. Phil Everly,
shown with his brother Don, died of complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease Jan. 3, in Burbank.

NEW YORK On a wintry weekend,
Disneys Frozen retook the box-ofce top
spot with $20.7 million, freezing out the
horror spinoff Paranormal Activity: The
Marked Ones.
Paramounts The Marked Ones debuted
in second place with $18.2 million, a total
that includes Thursday night screenings,
according to studio estimates Sunday. The
lm is a stand-alone story spun off from the
lucrative, low-budget horror franchise
Paranormal Activity, the fth of which
will be released in October.
But it wasnt able to overcome Disneys
animated Frozen, which has been a hit for
family audiences for the last seven weeks. It
has now surpassed $600 million worldwide,
making it the second highest grossing
Disney Animation release, behind The
Lion King. It will soon pass that lms
$312 million domestic haul, too.
Another hold-over, Warner Bros. The
Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, came in
third with $16.3 million in its fourth week
of release after narrowly topping the busy
Christmas weekend box office. Like
Frozen, Peter Jacksons second install-
ment of his Hobbit trilogy has beneted
from the lengthy holiday moviegoing sea-
son. Its domestic cumulative total is
$229.6 million.
The snow and icy temperatures battering
the Midwest and Northeast likely tempered
the weekends box-ofce business.
Everyone probably suffered a little bit
from the weather, said Don Harris, head of
domestic distribution for Paramount. It
looked like no matter what movie it was, it
was half a million to a $1 million less on
Friday and Saturday than you would have
been expecting, just based on what the
norms were.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through
Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters,
according to Rentrak. Where available, lat-
est international numbers for Friday
through Sunday are also included. Final
domestic gures will be released Monday:
1. Frozen, $20.7 million ($52 million
international).
2. Paranormal Activity: The Marked
Ones, $18.2 million ($16.2 million
international).
3. The Hobbit: The Desolation of
Smaug, $16.3 million ($58 million inter-
national).
4. The Wolf of Wall Street, $13.4 mil-
lion ($6.3 million international).
5. American Hustle, $13.2 million
($6.8 million international).
6. Anchorman 2: The Legend
Continues, $11.1 million ($5.4 million
international).
7. Saving Mr. Banks, $9.1 million.
8. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,
$8.2 million ($31.5 million internation-
al).
9. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,
$7.4 million ($9.1 million international).
10. Grudge Match, $5.4 million.

Hill cited a Common Cause report that
recently found that in 2012 state elected
ofcials received $216,000 in gifts and
travel payments and either solicited or
received $6.7 million in behested pay-
ments.
One politician spent $12,000 on one
trip, according to the report, Hill said.
He proposes lowering the threshold
for behested payments to $2,500 and
requiring the Fair Political Practices
Commission to post the transactions
within 30 days on its website.
Although Hills proposed legislation
doesnt make any mention of specic
incidents, it follows on the heels of the
FBIs corruption investigation of state
Sen. Ron Calderon, D-Montebello, who
formerly served two years as the Latino
Legislative Caucus vice chairman. The
caucus donated $25,000 to a group run
by Calderons brother.
Calderon has denied any wrongdoing.
News of the investigation broke in
late October when the state Legislature
was in recess and Hill said as the body
reconvenes it is time to update the act
and increase transparency.
Hill said his bill is also a reaction to
conduct like that of former state senator
Dean Florez of Fresno who was ned
$60,000 for misusing campaign funds
for personal use and not refunding dona-
tions after aborting his bid for lieu-
tenant governor. The democrats pur-
chases include airfare, dining, concert
tickers and gas.
The problem is that the Political
Reform Act of 1974 says the money
must be used for political purposes but
doesnt adequately dene what that is,
Hill said.
What was done by former senator
Florez crossed the line but then there is
no real clear line there. What were
doing is identifying that line, he said.
Hills bill needs a two-thirds majority
to pass.

Casualty relocated from San Francisco to
its San Mateo headquarters where it employs
more than 150 people, Brown said.
The company pioneered afnity-
based group insurance in 1951, which
allows it to offer competitive rates to
members of public service unions and
associations, Brown said. California
Casualty has been endorsed by both
state and national public service associ-
ations and is proud to say that most of
its policyholders are employed as nurs-
es, teachers, reghters and peace of-
cers, Brown said.
The people that we get to serve are
the people that serve our community
we think of them as heroes and its just a
pleasure to be able to serve them,
Brown said.
California Casualty is endorsed by
and provides coverage for members of
numerous public service organizations
such as California State Fireghters
Association, the California Association
of Highway Patrolmen, the National
Education Association and others. The
companys advisory board is also made
up of people who work in these elds
and has provided California Casualty
with rsthand insight as to how the
company can best serve its customers,
Brown said.
Were able to offer discounted rates
for members of these groups and trade
associations and then we offer tailored
products and services, Brown said.
If a vehicle belonging to a nurse or
teacher is broken into or hit while
parked at their place of employment,
California Casualty waives their
deductible, Brown said. For a police of-
cer or reghter, if they are tragically
killed in the line of duty, the company
waives their family members premiums
for about a year, Brown said. The com-
pany has proudly invested a great deal of
thought in ensuring it remains true to its
commitment to serve and protect its cus-
tomers, Brown said.
In 1965, the companys code was
written and implemented to reect his
great grandfathers mission of running a
company that acts with integrity, pro-
vides excellent service and fullls its
promises, Brown said.
Prior to Brown taking over, his father
served as the chairman of the board and,
in 1991, demonstrated what it truly
means for a company to act in the best
interest of its customers. During the
Oakland Hills res, many people found
themselves with their homes destroyed
and their insurance maximums expend-
ed. However, with the commitment to
policyholders in mind, the company
waived the limits to ensure those whose
homes were damaged by the re could
begin to recoup their loss, Brown said.
Because the company isnt owned by
shareholders, its able to follow its
long-term vision of supporting its cus-
tomers and employees instead of having
to pursue a strict quarterly prot margin,
Brown said.
The biggest difference is that were
policyholder owned; so we can focus on
providing service to our customers and
giving them competitive rates. We
dont have to funnel a certain level of
prots back to some holding company
out of state or out of the country. We can
focus on providing outstanding service
and fullling our commitment to our
policyholders, Brown said.
One of the most rewarding things
about working for his family-based
company is the quality of people with
whom he gets to work, Brown said.
Theres longevity among its employee
base and many have worked for
California Casualty for several decades,
Brown said.
He and most of his employees feel
pride in being part of a company that
has been helping community members
for 100 years. At the end of the day, the
success of California Casualty boils
down to its superb and dedicated
employees, Brown said.
Its an honor to work for a family
company and I feel a responsibility to
our employees. When I rst came to
work here the thing that really
impressed me was the people who
worked here, Brown said. The compa-
ny is really about the people who work
here and its about the relationships
with our customers.

Some of the clients Rocket Fuel
works with are Bowflex, Brooks
Running, Choice Hotels and Subaru.
For a real-life example of how
Rocket Fuels technology is applied,
Heather Fogarty, the interactive asso-
ciate media director for TouchPoint
Integrated Communications,
explained how her company uses
Rocket Fuels services.
We work with Rocket Fuel on the
display front with a look-a-like
model, Fogarty said in an email.
Look-a-like targeting analyzes the
online behavior of our current convert-
ing consumers, it allows us to nd
fresh prospects that have similar
online habits as current converting
consumers. This targeting technique
has proven to drive more qualied traf-
c to our site.
Some of TouchPoints clients
include Bowex, Five Star, Stanford
Hospital and Sparkling Ice, Fogarty
said.
Redwood City Mayor Jeff Gee said he
is very happy Rocket Fuel has chosen
Redwood City as their home because
they add to the citys influence in
Silicon Valley, along with companies
such as Oracle and Informatica. Gee
also said Rocket Fuel has helped
Redwood City through volunteer hours
as well as by sponsoring community
events and helping to pay for items
such as water treatment machines.

DILBERT CROSSWORD PUZZLE
CRANKY GIRL
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2014
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Youll have many
professional opportunities today. Deals can be settled,
but be very careful when they involve loved ones. A
careless mistake on your part could lead to trouble.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Dont let your
emotions lead you astray, and dont let overindulgence
or denial compromise your integrity. Temptation is
apparent, and strength of character will be required.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Get organized and
make whatever adjustments are necessary. You
may find yourself in an inflammatory situation,
and if you cannot admit your mistakes, you will
meet with roadblocks.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your emotions will be
close to the surface, especially if you are goaded into
a heated discussion. You must avoid saying the wrong
thing to someone who could damage your reputation.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will have the
discipline to get things done, but you will also
attract a person who is more of a hindrance than
a help. Dont expect others to lend a hand. Just
focus on what you can do.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Today, you can find
the momentum to get stalled projects up and
running again. To make things happen, you may
have to adjust a few of your ideas or re-establish
yourself with people from your past.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Dont let anyone
give you a hard time about work. You will be very
serious in your endeavors, and following through
with your plans will be key.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Do everything you can
to promote your talents. You have much to offer,
and today is the perfect time to take center stage.
Love is likely on your mind, but dont let it distract
you from your ambitions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A trip or a conference
you attend will expand your knowledge base. You
will make meaningful changes to the way you
communicate that will seriously up your game.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Someone you least
suspect may turn on you. Deal with loved ones
delicately, or they may react with vitriol. You should
avoid being overly serious and instead put your
focus on light creative pursuits.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Issues with your
partner may cause confusion, but if you refuse to
be drawn in, it will pass. Concentrate on artistic or
mentally challenging work, and you will thrive.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Now is the
time to implement professional changes. Take
action where your work is concerned so that you
can make progress.

New Hope!
A Health Center
Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
If you suffer with lower back,
neck, or leg pain, we invite you to try
our non surgical solution. The pain
from degenerating and bulging discs
affects everything that you do, from
work, to play, and ultimately your
quality of life. At Crossroads Heath
Center, we have created an entire
facility dedicated to patients with
severe disc conditions that have not
responded to traditional care. Our
revolutionary, Crossroads Method,
provides a very high success rate to
patients with serious back, neck,
leg and arm pain even when all
else has failed. This FDA cleared;
non-surgical treatment allows us
to rehabilitate your herniated or
degenerative disc(s) by reversing
internal pressure and enabling your
disc(s) to heal from the inside out.
We succeed where other treatments
have failed by removing the
pressure that is causing pain to
your disc(s) and nerves without
drugs, injections, invasive surgery or
harmful side effects.
The only ofce to have
The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!
Lisa K. San Jose, 2013
I came in to Dr. Ferrigno for
lower back pain. Its a problem
that I have had for about 10 to
15 years. I tried everything from
physiatrists, medical doctors,
doctor of osteopathy, chiropractic,
acupuncture, pain medications,
epidural injections and everything
was a temporary fx. I decided to try
the DRX therapy and Ive gone from
an average pain level between 5/7
out of 10 all the way down to a pain
level of 1 to 2 pretty consistently.
The DRX was defnitely the only
thing that has made me feel better.
Brian G. Los Gatos CA. 2013
How Will I Know If I Qualify
for Treatment?
When you come in for a
complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform
a comprehensive examination to
determine exactly where the pain is
coming from. If x-rays are necessary,
we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
treatment protocol.
If we dont feel like we can help we
will refer you to someone who can.

Bulging, Herniated or Degenerative Disc?
