With enrollment exploding and
facilities waning, the San Mateo-
Foster City School Elementary
District is trying to guring out
how to accommodate more stu-
dents into the Montessori pro-
gram while parents want to ensure
the program stays in place.
Last year parent opposition to
the transformation of Parkside
Elementary School into a science,
technology, engineering, art and
math program school initially
caused the district to backpedal on
its decision to change the school
which currently operates
Montessori and traditional
schools. The district did decide to
move forward by approving a sin-
gle STEAM magnet theme at its
Thursday, Feb. 8 meeting.
It also approved convening a
planning group at the end of
February to look into providing
more opportunities for
Montessori instruction for K-8
students in the 2015-16 school
year. One option the district is
looking at is having the
Montessori program on one cam-
pus, as it is currently at Parkside
and North Shoreview elementary
schools, Trustee Ed Coady said.
Were continuing conversa-
tions with both communities,
said Trustee Chelsea Bonini.
Were hopeful those conversa-
tions will continue in a good way
and the growth issue discussions
have been going on.
Some fear the district is attempt-
ing to phase out the Montessori
program by trying to shift the
program to the almost at capacity
North Shoreview, behind their
backs.

State Sen. Jerry Hill introduced
legislation Monday that he plans
on using as a bargaining chip to
force the billionaire owner of the
Martins Beach property near Half
Moon Bay to reinstate public
access to the strip of beach other-
wise blocked off by coastal bluffs
and accessible only by boat.
Hill, D-San Mateo, proposed SB
968 which would require the State
Lands Commission to negotiate
with wealthy venture capitalist
Vinod Khosla who bought the
coveted and secluded cove in 2008
for $37.5 million and closed
Martins Beach Road to the pub-
lic. If no deal is met by Jan. 1,
2016, the state could use eminent
domain for a portion of the prop-
erty to reopen or create a new pub-
lic road, Hill said.
Today I proposed legislation to
try and provide a pathway for com-
promise, Hill said.
Hill said eminent domain is a
last resort but, with Khosla and
his attorneys refusing to respond,
an appropriate use to uphold the
states constitution and guarantee
public access to the 1,100 miles
of the California coast.
Although SB 968 specically
refers to the Martins Beach case,
the law could affect other

Three accused of mailing
meth to Hawaii in dummy heads
HONOLULU There was something
unusual about three mannequin heads
found inside a UPS parcel being mailed
from San Bernardino to Hawaii: They
each had two pounds of methampheta-
mine stuffed inside them, authorities
said.
Now, three men in face drug charges
in Hawaii. One of the men, Anthony
Buzio Sanchez, was expected to plead
guilty in federal court in Honolulu on
Monday.
Authorities in Californias Riverside
County intercepted a cardboard box
being mailed from San Bernardino to
Honolulu, according to a criminal com-
plaint.
Once a deputy sheriff got a California
search warrant, investigators found
inside shirts, shorts, slippers, towels
and three boxes individually wrapped
in pink and gold paper. The wrapped
boxes each contained a mannequin
head with about two pounds of metham-
phetamine inside, totaling 2,932
grams of methamphetamine, the court
document said.
After the drugs were discovered, the
contents were mailed by FedEx to feder-
al agents in Honolulu, where an under-
cover agent posing as a delivery man
brought the parcel to the Honolulu
address for which it was originally des-
tined.
No one answered the door during two
attempts to deliver the package. On the
third attempt, a man identied in court
papers as Carlos Gallego signed for the
parcel.
College offers course
in zombies, apocalypse
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. Some
Central Michigan University students
are getting schooled in the undead this
semester, thanks to a religion course
thats exploring apocalyptic themes in
biblical texts, literature and pop cul-
ture.
Philosophy and religion faculty
member Kelly Murphy says she always
wanted to teach a course on apocalyptic
literature, and she is a fan of AMCs TV
show The Walking Dead. The result is
Murphys class, which is called From
Revelation to `The Walking Dead.
Thinking about the end and imagin-
ing life in a different way is something
that humans have always done,
Murphy said in a university release.
Murphys class will discuss biblical
texts, review popular novels and watch
clips from movies such as Shaun of
the Dead and 28 Days Later. Students
also will discuss hypothetical ethical
and theological problems that people
could encounter in a post-apocalyptic
world.
The prevalence of apocalyptic sto-
ries in various media gives us a window
into what people are worrying about,
what they hope for and how they imag-
ine they would react in the face of a cat-
aclysmic event, Murphy said. In the
same way, we can read the Book of
Revelation ... and learn what ancient
Jewish and Christian groups were con-
cerned about.
Firefighters save dog from
sinkhole in Buffalo, N.Y.
BUFFALO, N.Y. A German shep-
herd is back on solid ground after being
rescued from a sinkhole that opened up
in a Buffalo park.
The 3-year-old dog named Mack
dropped more than 10 feet to the bot-
tom of the watery hole during a Sunday
morning walk with his owner, Mattie
Moore, who nearly fell in herself.
Moores 911 call brought the re
departments technical rescue team to
Martin Luther King Jr. Park, where a
broken underground water pipe had
eroded the soil and created an opening
about 2 feet across on the surface but
wider below.
She was crying, reghter Michael
Paveljack said, describing the fright-
ened dog owner in the snowy park
where she walks Mack every morning
before sunrise.
Rescuers put plywood around the
hole to stabilize the ground, and then
widened the gap enough for a person to
t through.

A murder defendants claims that a child-
hood lover killed his 15-year-old classmate
in Daly City 13 years ago on the orders of a
secret Guatemalan police outt is a fantas-
tic story that, even if true, does not clear
him of responsibility for at the very least
luring the teen to his death, a prosecutors
told jurors Monday afternoon.
You cannot kill an innocent person
because youre being threatened. Thats the
law, prosecutor Jeff Finigan said in the
closing argument of Erick Morales murder
trial.
Finigan said Morales and Reynaldo
Maldonado, who was already convicted of
the murder last year, both killed Quetzlcoatl
Alba in a storage facility used by teenagers
as a hang out. Finigan conceded that we
dont really know why Alba was stabbed to
death repeatedly in what he characterized as
a bloody and violent struggle but that the
jury neednt have that answer to reach the
conclusion he is guilty of rst-degree mur-
der and lying in wait for his victim.
But defense attorney Tom Kelley painted a
different picture, one of Morales fearing
Maldonado and his claims that a police
group known as S2 wanted him to kill some-
body. Morales, who Kelley said was sexual-
ly assaulted and stalked by Maldonado from
their young days in Guatemala through their
individual arrivals in Daly City, refused to
participate in a murder but allowed a photo
of himself to be taken hunched over the
body as proof for the S2. That photo-
graph was found in Maldonados possession
after his arrest and
Finigan said it showed
the then-teenagers
involvement in part
because it shows him
wearing a bloody sweat-
shirt excavated from his
backyard years later.
Kelley said the photo-
graph is only a picture
of Mr. Morales over a
body and does not show him stabbing any-
one.
Morales never testied himself about his
relationship with Maldonado and what
exactly happened to Alba on May 21, 2001.
Instead, jurors heard taped police interviews
shortly after the murder and in 2009 after
Morales was apprehended following a trafc
stop on Long Island.
Two days after Albas friends found his
body in the Westlake Apartments storage
room, Morales told Daly City police he
only knew the victim from school and they
were barely even friends. However,
Morales was the last person seen with Alba
and between May 1, 2001, and May 20,
2001, the two exchanged 57 phone calls,
including a nearly three-minute conversa-
tion the night before Albas death which
Finigan said showed evidence of plotting
and luring.
During Maldonados trial, Finigan told
jurors that Maldonado held Alba down while
Morales stabbed him repeatedly in the neck,
arms and torso. He was less specic in
Morales trial but said the murder took both
teens because Alba was much bigger.
After his body was found, both defendants
disappeared and the case grew cold until
2007 when a Florida friend of Maldonado
contacted authorities to report he had con-
fessed the murder and shared the photo of
Morales and the body. The tipster also said
the murder weapon, Morales bloody sweat-
shirt and Albas cellphone were buried in the
yard of Morales childhood home on Miriam
Street. Police dug up a tin can containing
the items and extradited Maldonado from
Florida. Morales followed two years later
but the two were tried separately because of
legal wrangling over Maldonados mental
ability to stand trial.
In closing arguments Tuesday, Kelley dis-
puted that the found sweatshirt is the same
worn by his client in the photograph and
told jurors the question is not if the S2 actu-
ally exists but if an impressionable then-
teen boy believed it. Other than that, Kelley
said, there is no evidence ... to suggest he
would take it upon himself to end that young
mans life.
Morales faces life in prison without
parole if convicted of rst-degree murder
plus lying in wait for his victim. Jurors were
also given the option of second-degree mur-
der.
Jurors deliberated three days in November
before convicting Maldonado of murder but
rejected the special allegation of lying in
wait that would have negated the possibility
of parole.
Morales and Maldonado both remain in
custody without bail. Maldonado will be
sentenced March 7.

Google subsidiary to run nearby federal airfield
SAN FRANCISCO The U.S government has picked a
Google subsidiary to run and renovate a federal aireld that
is frequently used for the personal ights of the Internet
companys billionaire executives.
The decision announced Monday clears the way for
Googles Planetary Ventures LLC to take over management
of the 1,000-acre Moffett Federal Aireld, a former U.S.
Navy based located four miles from Googles Mountain
View, Calif., headquarters. The aireld, which was built in
the 1930s, has been managed by NASAs Ames Research
Center for the past 23 years.
Financial terms of the new arrangement still must be
worked out among Google, NASA and the General Services
Administration.
As part of the deal, Google Inc. must renovate the air-
elds three hangars, including one that is a Silicon Valley
landmark because of its massive size and location off a
major highway. Google also has agreed to upgrade a golf
course located next to the aireld.

Qayoum says more details will be released once the coro-
ners investigation is nished.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A29-year-old Belmont man was con-
victed of having sex with the drunken
sister of his roommates girlfriend
while on parole for similar behavior
with an inebriated teenage girl.
Jurors returned their verdicts in the
case of Joshua Kenneth Bringazi on
their second day of deliberations. The
jury convicted Bringazi of unlawful
sexual intercourse with a minor and
committing a lewd act on a child age
14 or 15. The same jury also found true
his previous criminal strike which will
play a role in sentence March 25
unless a judge opts not to consider it.
After his conviction, Judge Jack
Grandsaert ordered Bringazis
$100,000 bail raised to $1 million and
he was taken into custody.
During trial pros-
ecutors told jurors
Bringazi, then 25,
had sex with the
Oregon teen on Aug.
24, 2010, when she
came with her half-
sister to visit fami-
l y. Bringazi was a
roommate of the
sisters boyfriend
and the girls reportedly stayed with
them. On the night in question,
Bringazi reportedly pressured the girl
to have a beer during a drinking game
before having sex with her in his
room. The next day, the girl allegedly
refused further advances and Bringazi
kicked her and the sister out of the
apartment. The roommate contacted
authorities.
At the time, Bringazi was on parole
for multiple Santa Clara County con-
victions of using a minor to produce
obscene material and penetration of a
minor using a foreign object.
Bringazis case started and stalled
several times between his arrest and
conviction. He started trial once
before but his previous attorney caused
a mistrial by declaring mid-trial he had
a conict. While awaiting a new trial
date, Bringazi was accused of assault-
ing a correctional ofcer while trying
to remove a T-shirt illegally covering
the mans jail cell light.
Even the trial had a hiccup. One juror
was replaced during deliberations after
taking photos of his wife and himself
embracing in a way described by the
victim and sharing them with other
jurors.
Jury convicts rape defendant of sex with drunkteen
Joshua Bringazi
The alleged Norteo gangmember
accused of starting a shoving match
that ended with the fatal shooting of a
man mistaken for a rival because of
his blue jacket was sentenced to 12
years in prison.
Mario Cazarez Jr., 21, pleaded no
contest to mayhem in December to
avoid a murder trial in the death of
Julio Pantoja Cuevas and prosecutors
indicated then they would seek a 14-
year term although the plea deal came
with no actual promises. On Friday,
Cazarez received 12 years prison with
credit of 1,342 days.
Cazarez codefendants, including
the actual shooter, are serving life
prison sentences one with a chance
of parole and one without for the
death more than three years ago.
On Nov. 28, 2010, Cuevas was
allegedly visiting three female
friends at a Madison Avenue apart-
ment complex in Redwood City wear-
ing a navy blue
jacket. Cazarez
along with
Michael Elijah
Rodriguez and
Jaime Treto
Rodriguez, no rela-
tion, approached
Cuevas and chal-
lenged him about
what gang he
claimed. After a
shoving match led by Cazarez,
Michael Rodriguez allegedly pulled a
gun and shot him several times.
Cuevas ran down an alley where he
fell and died and the suspects fled in
the opposite direction.
Cazarez and Michael Rodriguez
were arrested the day after the shoot-
ing. Jaime Rodriguez remained at
large until June 2011 when he was
arrested in Santa Fe, N.M., for a
domestic dispute in a casino.
In November, a jury convicted
Michael Rodriguez of first-degree
murder and he received life prison
without the possibility of parole plus
another consecutive 25 years to life
for the use of a firearm. Jaime Treto
Rodriguez, 22, pleaded no contest in
October to first-degree murder and the
special gang enhancement in return
for a flat 26-years-to-life term.
Another defendant, Gerardo
Aboytes, 22, also accepted a plea deal
and received 17 years in prison for
mayhem, perjury and assault with a

Obituary
Chrome revolver bandit guilty
The three-strikes robbery defendant nicknamed the chrome
revolver bandit for the large silver weapon used during a
multi-city crime spree and the shooting of a San Mateo pet
store clerk was convicted of multiple felonies including 17
counts of armed robbery.
Jurors deliberated three days before also convicting Ricky
Renee Sanders, 36, of eight counts of being a felon in pos-
session of a weapon, ve counts of assault with a rearm,
seven counts of false imprisonment, ve counts of attempted
robber, one count of making threats and one count of may-
hem. Ajudge also found true his prior felony convictions and
criminal strikes and that he committed the new felonies while
on parole. Sanders, who is in custody without bail, will be
sentenced April 25.
Prosecutors say Sanders robbed the PetSmart at 3520 El
Camino Real in August 2011 and returned Oct. 8, 2011, when
he shot the same 34-year-old male cashier with a silver
revolver. The bullet severed his femoral artery, leaving him
with long-lasting effects.
Sanders also allegedly robbed or attempted to rob a
Beverages and More in Colma, a GameStop in Colma and
other businesses in San Francisco and Santa Clara counties.
Authorities estimate he may have committed more than 30
similar robberies throughout the Bay Area. Authorities appre-
hended Sanders in Alameda County. Fingerprints collected
from the Oct. 30, 2011, armed robbery of a San Jose PetSmart
linked him to the local cases.
He maintained his innocence during the 23-day trial.
State seeks appellate hearing on high-speed rail
Gov. Jerry Browns administration is asking the 3rd District
Court of Appeal to intervene in rulings that have slowed
progress on building the nations rst high-speed rail system.
In a ling Monday, the administration asks the state appel-
late court to overturn a Sacramento County Superior Court
judges rulings in a lawsuit led by Kings County farmers and
landowners. Judge Michael Kenny ordered the California
High-Speed Rail Authority to draft a new funding plan and
blocked the sale of $8.6 billion in bonds.
The ling says the stakes are high and the risks are great
if the ruling stands. Finance ofcials also are worried the rul-
ing could set a precedent for other bonds.

STATE 7
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO Federal judges on
Monday gave California two more years to
meet a court-ordered prison population cap,
the latest step in a long-running lawsuit
aimed at improving inmate medical care.
In doing so, the judges said they would
appoint a compliance officer who will
release inmates early if the state fails to
meet interim benchmarks or the nal goal.
The order from the three-judge panel
delayed an April deadline to reduce the
prison population to about 112, 000
inmates. California remains more than
5,000 inmates over a limit set by the
courts, even though the state has built more
prison space and used some private cells.
It is even more important now for defen-
dants to take effective action that will pro-
vide a long-term solution to prison over-
crowding, as, without further action, the
prison population is projected to continue
to increase and health conditions are likely
to continue to worsen, the judges said in a
ve-page opinion scolding the state for
more than four years of delay.
California has reduced its prison popula-
tion by about 25,000 inmates during the
past two years, primarily through a law that
sends lower-level offenders to county jails
instead of state prisons. It also has spent
billions of dollars on new medical facilities
and staff, including opening an $839 mil-
lion prison medical facility in Stockton
last fall.
Yet in its latest ruling, the special panel
of judges tasked with considering the legal
battle involving overcrowding said the
state has continually failed to implement
any of the other measures approved by the
panel and the Supreme Court that would
have safely reduced the prison population
and alleviated unconstitutional conditions
involving medical and mental health care.
The judges said the delays have cost tax-
payers money while causing inmates to
needlessly suffer.
However, immediately enforcing the pop-
ulation cap would simply prompt the state
to move thousands more inmates to private
prisons in other states without solving the
long-term crowding problem, the judges
said.
Given that choice, they adopted a propos-
al outlined by Gov. Jerry Browns adminis-
tration that it can reach the population cap
by the end of February 2016 through steps
that include expanding a Stockton medical
facility to house about 1,100 mentally ill
inmates and freeing more than 2,000
inmates who are elderly, medically incapac-
itated, or who become eligible for parole
because of accelerated good-time credits.
The judges said the state also has agreed
to consider more population-reduction
reforms in the next two years, including the
possible establishment of a commission to
recommend reforms of penal and sentencing
laws.
Brown said the ruling was encouraging.
The state now has the time and resources
necessary to help inmates become produc-
tive members of society and make our com-
munities safer, he said in a statement.
Browns administration said the alterna-
tive would have been to spend up to $20
million during the scal year that ends June
30 and up to $50 million next scal year to
lease enough additional cells to meet the
court order.

FRESNO The executive director of
Californias health insurance exchange said
Monday that he is hiring 400 call-center
workers, many in Fresno, with the goal of
alleviating telephone backlogs that have
frustrated those applying for health care.
Peter Lee, executive director of Covered
California, formally announced the stafng
increase in a visit to a Fresno call center,
where 250 new employees began training on
their rst day of work. He expects the extra
help to bring down the average wait time of
51 minutes and better serve speakers of
Spanish and other languages. In the coming
weeks, Lee said the exchange will hire
another 150 people and start training them.
This stafng boost increasing workers
by about 50 percent comes in answer to
barriers causing frustration and potentially
preventing people from enrolling.
Californians need to continue signing up to
make the states health exchange viable.
Lee acknowledged that there have been
problems.
Weve heard their complaints. Weve
heard their concerns, Lee said. Weve
stepped up to say were going to make it
right.
Covered California is the states health
insurance exchange under the federal
Affordable Care Act. Since it was launched
last fall, 625,000 Californians have signed
up. Open enrollment ends March 31, which
Lee expects to be a busy month as residents
are reminded that if they fail to get covered,
they will be ned.
In a January meeting of the board that
oversees California Covered, Lee said the
staffing would increase by 350, but in
Mondays announcement the gure increased
to 400. Covered California spokeswoman
Ann Gonzales said the numbers are projec-
tions, which account for turnover in
employees. The full force is expected to be in
place by the end of March, she said.
The increased customer service from
Covered California also means more call-
center workers in Rancho Cordova and
Contra Costa County. The exchange will add
phone lines, make the website easier to use
and create an option to get help through
online chat. An automated phone system
will answer commonly asked questions
callers have without requiring them to wait,
Lee said.

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

NATION 8
By Richard Lardner and Yuri Kageyama
WASHINGTON The Pentagon is com-
ing under pressure to give Congress detailed
information on the handling of sex crime
cases in the armed forces following an
Associated Press investigation that found a
pattern of inconsistent judgments and light
penalties for sexual assaults at U.S. bases in
Japan.
Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of
New York, whos led efforts in Congress to
address military sexual crimes, is pressing
the Defense Department to turn over case
information from four major U.S. bases:
Fort Hood in Texas, Naval Station Norfolk
in Virginia, the Marine Corps Camp
Pendleton in California, and Wright-
Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
Such records would shed more light on
how military commanders make decisions
about court martials and
punishments in sexual
assault cases and whether
the inconsistent judg-
ments seen in Japan are
more widespread.
APs investigation,
which was based on hun-
dreds of internal military
documents it rst began
requesting in 2009,
found that what appeared
to be strong cases were often reduced to
lesser charges. Suspects were unlikely to
serve time even when military authorities
agreed a crime had been committed. In two
rape cases, commanders overruled recom-
mendations to court-martial and dropped the
charges instead.
Gillibrand, who leads the Senate Armed
Services personnel panel, wrote Monday to
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel asking for
all reports and allegations of rape, forcible
sodomy, sexual assault, sex in the barracks,
adultery and attempts, conspiracies or
solicitations to commit these crimes, for
the last ve years.
She said APs investigation is disturbing
evidence that some commanders refuse to
prosecute sexual assault cases and the
Pentagon should have provided the records
more quickly.
The documents may build momentum for
legislation she has introduced that would
strip senior ofcers of their authority to
decide whether serious crimes, including
sexual assault cases, go to trial. The bill
would place that judgment with trial coun-
sels who have prosecutorial experience and
hold the rank of colonel or above. The leg-
islation, expected to be voted on in coming
weeks, is short of the 60 votes needed to
prevent a libuster.
Defense Department officials have
acknowledged the problem of sexual
assaults in the ranks and said they are tak-
ing aggressive steps to put a stop to the
crimes.
This isnt a sprint, said Jill Loftus,
director of the Navys sexual assault preven-
tion program. This is a marathon and its
going to take a while.
Col. Alan Metzler, deputy director of the
Defense Departments Sexual Assault
Prevention and Response Office, said
numerous changes in military law and poli-
cy made by Congress and the Pentagon are
creating a culture where victims trust that
their allegations will be taken seriously and
perpetrators will be punished. Defense of-
cials noted that the cases in Japan preceded
changes the Pentagon implemented in May.
Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagons
press secretary, said Hagel will respond to
Gillibrands letter as expeditiously as pos-
sible.
Senator seeks records on military sex crimes
By Andrew Taylor
WASHINGTON House Republican lead-
ers Monday unveiled a plan to reverse a
recently passed cut to military pensions as
the price for increasing the governments
borrowing cap, but it received a rocky recep-
tion from skeptical conservatives.
GOPleaders briefed rank-and-le GOPlaw-
makers at a meeting in the Capitol on
Monday evening in hopes of passing it on
Wednesday before departing Washington for
a week-long vacation. Its unclear whether
the vote would still go forward after it was
rejected by many conservatives.
Right now weve got a debt ceiling bill
that increases spending, which is diametri-
cally 180 degrees opposite of what we were
battling over just two years ago where
the question was how much in spending cuts
we were going to get, said Rep. Mo
Brooks, R-Ala.
The GOP bill would extend Treasurys bor-
rowing authority for at least another year,
repeal the curb passed in December on pen-
sion inflation adjustments for military
retirees under the age of 62, and extend auto-
matic cuts to Medicare and other programs
to 2024, another year than presently sched-
uled.
Email shows effort
to shield bin Laden photos
WASHINGTON A newly-released email
shows that 11 days after the killing of terror
leader Osama bin Laden in 2011, the U.S.
militarys top special operations officer
ordered subordinates to destroy any photo-
graphs of the al-Qaida founders corpse or
turn them over to the CIA.
The email was obtained under a freedom of
information request by the conservative
legal group Judicial Watch. The document,
released Monday by the group, shows that
Adm. William McRaven, who heads the U.S.
Special Operations Command, told military
ofcers on May 13, 2011 that photos of bin
Ladens remains should have been sent to the
CIA or already destroyed. Bin Laden was
killed by a special operations team in
Pakistan on May 2, 2011.
McRavens order to purge the bin Laden
material came 10 days after the Associated
Press asked for the photos and other docu-
ments under the U.S. Freedom of Information
Act. Typically, when a freedom of informa-
tion request is led to a government agency
under the Federal Records Act, the agency is
obliged to preserve the material sought
even if the agency later denies the request.

No on the
life-threatening pipeline
Editor,
Mr. Guy Guerrero seems to be badly
informed and is spreading his igno-
rance to the people of the Peninsula
in his letter, Keystone XL pipeline
needed (in the Feb. 6 edition of the
Daily Journal). Hasnt he noticed the
changing climate? Doesnt he know
the sea level is rising? Doesnt he
know that our high level of unem-
ployment is due to NAFTAglobaliza-
tion and the shipping of our well-
paying jobs to foreign nations that
have have slave labor conditions and
no regulations to protect the environ-
ment?
Our government must refuse to
allow this pipeline and refuse to sign
onto the Trans-Pacic Partnership Act
(which is NAFTAon steroids) to pro-
tect American jobs. Our government
needs to protect the water supply and
the health of the people living in the
lands threatened by this pipeline.
After the experience of the pipeline
disaster in San Bruno, we know how
dangerous these pipelines are.
If you enjoy breathing fresh air and
drinking clean water, it is your duty
to contact your representatives and
instruct them to vote no on the life-
threatening pipeline. If you are con-
cerned about our high level of unem-
ployment, you must urge your repre-
sentative not to sign the job killing
the Trans-Pacic Partnership Act.

Where is the ignorance?
Editor,
No doubt there is a lot of disturb-
ing ignorance. But sometimes its
not where some writers nd it.
Scientic consensus is not always
right. Scientists were warning us: If
the speed of train exceeds 30 mph,
passengers will suffocated. Or, in the
19th century, consider a case of a
Hungarian doctor. I quote
InterestingFactsBlog.Tumble.com:
Hungarian doctor Ignaz
Semmelweise discovered that doctors,
who delivered babies after handling
corpses often passed infection to
mothers. By advocating hand wash-
ing as a solution, he was ridiculed and
ostracized for challenging medical
orthodoxy and died in an asylum.
There are several movies about his
life. To quote our letter writer: Take
the so-called Great Flood. Where
did all that water come from, and
where did it go afterward? Off the edge
of the at Earth, perhaps? This is an
easy one. Just Google 10,000 B.C.
Some of the info there says, Melting
glaciers caused catastrophic ood-
ing. Isnt one of the results of
global change effect supposed to be
ooding of the coastal areas. Glaciers
thats where the water comes from
and where it will eventually return, as
it did number of times before. Just ask
an geologist, not a meteorologist,
who has much shorter span of data.

Napa Valley Register
T
he best thing Napa city resi-
dents can do to combat
Californias well-publicized,
record-setting drought is to let their
lawns stay brown this winter. Thats
the message from the citys water
department.
Lush, green grass in your front yard
is nothing to be proud of these days.
Winter irrigation is not normally an
issue. Mother Nature almost always
brings ample rains with her to the
Napa Valley. Most sprinkler systems
are put into hibernation well before
the holidays arrive.
But with drought, people are tempt-
ed to put green back in their grass,
even if its still winter, city of Napa
Water General Manager Joy Eldredge
said. Counterintuitively, local water
usage often spikes in drought condi-
tions.
If residents instead simply maintain
their typical winter water consump-
tion, the city of Napa will at least
in the short term fare better than
most in the current drought.
City water comes from two primary
sources: Lake Hennessey and the State
Water Project. Ample Lake Hennessey
storage in the last few years has
allowed water ofcials to bank about
11,000 acre-feet (one acre-foot is
about 326,000 gallons) from previ-
ous State Water Project allocations.
That allows the city to better weather
the impact of the state projects cur-
rent meager offer of only 5 percent of
full allotment. Meanwhile, Lake
Hennessey is still 72 percent full,
ofcials say.
Napa also made a very wise busi-
ness decision many years ago by pur-
chasing 1,000 acre-feet of the city of
St. Helenas State Water Project right.
The city now sells 600 acre-feet of
that water back to St. Helena annually
and has the rest at its disposal.
The citys supply is even signi-
cant enough to allow for sales to pri-
vate interests, including hotels out-
side city limits as well as to some
vineyards. This revenue is key to the
citys budget and enables residents
water bills to remain as reasonable as
possible.
Such sales will continue and not
impact supply until a Stage 1 water
emergency is declared, said Eldredge,
who believes Napa is at least one full
dry year removed from the threat of
such a declaration. AStage 1 alert
calls for voluntary conservation
measures.
Contracts with private interests,
Eldredge said, allow sales to cease in
the event of a Stage 1 emergency.
Napa hasnt instituted mandatory
water conservation requirements
the impact of a Stage 2 emergency
in more than 20 years, ofcials said.
Conversely, St. Helena issued its
Stage 1 alert this month. Calistogas
water supply is also much more pre-
carious. And American Canyons
reliance on the State Water Project is
more signicant than Napas as well.
How can Napa residents help their
neighbors? Conservation in Napa
doesnt necessarily benet Calistoga
(or anywhere else in California). It
isnt as simple as saving here helps
there. But even with ample local city
supply, limiting water usage is the
right thing to do. Less reliance on the
State Water Project is also benecial.
Increased conservation is actually
the law. Legislation in 2009 called
for a 20 percent reduction in urban per
capita water consumption by 2020.
Drought or not, the city of Napa has
been working toward that goal.
Current per capita usage in the city is
around 140 gallons a day, ofcials
said, a vast improvement from the
170-gallon average seen in the
1990s, but still some distance from
the 2020 mandate.
The quickest way to achieve that
goal in the city of Napa is to nd
alternatives to irrigated lawns. The
city has made some headway through
its Cash for Grass program, which
rewards residents for replacing their
grass with low- and zero-water land-
scaping options.
The current drought should give
more residents with grass lawns a
motive to look into it.
Napa has water, but no reason not to conserve
Making a
game of it
T
he Olympics are nothing if not educational.
Look, Slovakia, I overheard while watching
the opening ceremony parade of athletes. I
know where that is from Hostel.
Other counties didnt necessarily fare so well in the
location identification department in that same crowd.
Estonia? Where the heck is that?
But ever-evolving geography aside, the Winter
Olympics is a treasure trove of learning. And by learn-
ing I mean weird at least as weird as it gets without
Rocky and Ivan Drago mak-
ing a surprise appearance in
the middle of a curling
match.
Bob Costas puffy infect-
ed eye. Shaun White daring
to pull out of an event. All
of the snowboarders trash
talking the courses and
halfpipe. The Russian
police choirs rendition of
Lucky. Threats of tooth-
paste bombs. Germans
crazy neon-colored uni-
forms. The pleas to adopt
stray dogs getting more
attention that the baby
adoption ban for Americans. Russian President Vladimir
Putins reported mistress lighting the Olympic torch.
Sure, shes an athlete herself but it still seems a little
tabloidy.
Speaking of Putin or rather his homophobic lean-
ings how is it that Team Russias entrance during the
opening ceremonies was to a 2002 tune (perhaps the
only tune) of faux-Sapphic pop duo t.A.T.u. Todays les-
son: Do as I say and not what I listen to.
Another point. If at first you dont succeed, digitally
alter success. The opening ceremony was marred by one
of the decorative rings failing to open so all many
viewers saw broadcast was a small snowflake in place of
the final ring. Russian TV would have none of that and
doctored the shot.
Weve also learned that journalists are a whiny bunch.
First they want water potable water, no less and
flushing toilets. Then theyre seeking heat, Internet and
bathroom stall privacy.
Who do they think they are, American athletes
deprived of their Chobani? Yes, the biggest Greek
tragedy of the games is the Russian detainer of the prod-
uct for something involving dairy standards. Obviously,
this was orchestrated by Chobani itself. You cant buy
this kind of publicity.
U.S. bobsledder John Quinn taught that when trapped
in a small confined space, use ones head and fists.
When finding himself trapped in a bathroom, Quinn
took the logical route. He punched his way out. The
method was less useful days later when stuck in an ele-
vator.
Despite the old adage to the contrary, sometimes there
are stupid questions. Amorning host who will remain
nameless sat down with ice dancing gods Meryl Davis
and Charlie White prior to their performances. Her ques-
tion was something akin to are you guys hoping to win
a medal?
Um, let me try to answer that. Im going to go with
yes.
Of course, the one thing I might never get is how ice
skating is scored. The Russian couple bobbled. The
Canadians were awesome. France had the best costumes.
Guess which home team dominated. Please, broadcasters
and judges, how about a side box on the screen explain-
ing deductions or twizzle or even why the need for so
many sequins.
At least in that sport, the clothes make the man or,
rather, coach. Davis and White share a coach with
Canadian rivals Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. The two
teams close rankings meant coach Marina Zoueva
required a quick costume change in the kiss and cry area.
Perhaps a pair of glasses and she can pass herself off as
the next Clark Kent, too.
Ah, Sochi. Never a dull moment. But the strangest
thing Ive learned? That in between all the hoopla and
worries and social media buzz, the Olympics actually
involves sports.

Big movers

NEW YORK The stock market
ended up more or less where it began
Monday in a quiet day for investors
who had little economic data or compa-
ny earnings to react to.
Analysts said the market is likely to
remain in a holding pattern until
traders hear from Janet Yellen in her
rst testimony before Congress since
becoming head of the Federal Reserve.
After spending most of the day
lower, the Dow Jones Industrial aver-
age turned slightly higher in late trad-
ing and closed up 7.71 points, or 0.1
percent, at 15,801.79.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 2.82 points, or 0.2 percent, to
1,799.84 and the Nasdaq composite
rose 22.31 points, or 0.5 percent, to
4,148.17.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq was pushed
higher by Apple, which rose $9.31, or
2 percent, to $528.99. Apple rose after
the activist investor Carl Icahn said he
has dropped his shareholder proposal
to force Apple to increase its stock
buybacks. Apple recently disclosed it
had bought $14 billion of its own
stock.
Yellen, who started her term as head
of the central bank this month, is
scheduled to testify before Congress on
Tuesday and Wednesday. Yellens com-
ments will be closely watched, espe-
cially after recent disappointing eco-
nomic news and the Feds decision to
further reduce on its monthly bond pur-
chases.
Despite recent volatility in the mar-
ket, investors believe that Yellen will
likely continue her predecessors plan
to continue winding down the Feds
economic stimulus program. Last
week, the Fed cut its bond purchases to
$65 billion a month.
We should expect more volatility as
the Fed transitions away from its (eco-
nomic stimulus plan), said Doug Cote,
chief investment strategist at ING
Investment Management.
Investors got a respite from a recent
deluge of earnings and economic
reports. Wall Street remains in the mid-
dle of earnings season, when the bulk
of the nations publicly traded compa-
nies report their quarterly results. Only
two out of the 55 companies announc-
ing this week reported their results
Monday: the toy maker Hasbro and the
industrial conglomerate Loews Corp.
Hasbro rose $2.27, or 5 percent, to
$52.36. Hasbros said its fourth-quarter
prots fell from a year ago, due to a
slow holiday season, but it also boost-
ed its dividend and issued a bright out-
look for 2014.
Loews, which owns a variety of busi-
nesses including insurance, oil drilling
and hotels and resorts, fell $1.92, or 4
percent, to $43.26. The company
reported a loss of 51 cents a share, due
to some one-time charges tied to its
ownership of insurance company CNA
Financial.
So far this quarter, 344 members of
the S&P 500 index have reported their
results. While the earnings results have
been solid - up 8.1 percent from a year
ago, according to FactSet - many com-
panies have been lowering their fore-
casts for 2014. Fifty-seven companies
have cut their forecasts for 2014, while
only 14 have raised them, according to
Factset.
The guidance for the upcoming quar-
ters has not been good at all, said Sam
Stovall, chief equity strategist with
S&P Capital IQ.
Stocks are also coming off of a
strong nish last week.
The Dow rose 188 points on
Thursday and 166 points on Friday. The
market rallied Friday despite a govern-
ment report that U.S. employers added
just 113,000 jobs in January, fewer
than economists were anticipating.
The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq are all
still negative for 2014, although the
Nasdaq is down less than 1 percent.
The Dow is down almost 5 percent this
year, the S&P 500 almost 3 percent.
Trading volume was lighter than nor-
mal due to the lack of economic data
and company news. Roughly 3.3 bil-
lion shares were traded on the New
York Stock Exchange, slightly below
the recent average of 3.4 billion
shares.
Stocks end slightly higher in quiet trading
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON When Janet Yellen
makes her rst public remarks Tuesday
since succeeding Ben Bernanke as
Federal Reserve chair, her every word
will come under scrutiny.
Will she embrace all of Bernankes
policies? When will the Fed raise
short-term interest rates? Is she worried
about the economy or the stock mar-
ket?
Dont expect many direct answers
when Yellen addresses a House
Financial Services Committee hearing.
Her replies will most likely boil down
to a single overarching point: The Fed
will keep all its options open depend-
ing on how the economy evolves.
Even so, anticipation of Yellens tes-
timony is running high, given con-
cerns about the economy and the job
market, turmoil in global markets and
uncertainty about her direction at the
Fed.
After a rocky 2014 so far, nervous
investors will be paying particularly
close attention. They want to know
whether Yellen might deviate from the
message the Bernanke Fed sent late last
year: That Fed ofcials think the econ-
omys outlook is bright enough to
withstand a slight pullback in their
stimulus but that rates should stay low
to fuel a still-subpar economy.
The occasion is the Feds twice-a-
year report to Congress on interest-rate
policy and the economy. After
Tuesdays House hearing, Yellen will
address the Senate Banking Committee
on Thursday. Next month, shell pre-
side over her rst Fed meeting and hold
her rst news conference.
Yellen, 67, the rst woman to lead
the Fed in its 100 years, was sworn in
Feb. 3 for a four-year term. As vice
chair for three years and long a leading
economist, she has given speeches and
addressed congressional committees.
But as Fed chair, considered the worlds
most powerful economist post, the
spotlight will burn much brighter.
A new Fed chairs rst testimony is
always a testing period, said Diane
Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow
Financial.
Below are issues Yellen will likely be
pressed on this week. For each issue,
here is what investors would like to
hear and what Yellen is likely to say.
OUTLOOK FOR ECONOMY
Investors: The Dow Jones industri-
al average has sunk nearly 5 percent
this year in part because sectors of the
economy like manufacturing have
shown signs of weakening. Investors
worry that 2014 may not be the break-
out year for the economy that many had
foreseen. They hope Yellen will signal
that she expects a more robust econo-
my in 2014 after 4 1/2 sluggish years
of recovery from the Great Recession.
Yellen: She wont likely disap-
point. Its the nature of Fed leaders to
err on the side of optimism. A down-
beat message could derail condence
and potentially send markets tum-
bling. Yellen will probably refer to
what the Fed said in a policy statement
last month: Encouraging trends in con-
sumer spending and business invest-
ment suggest that growth was picking
up - at least before 2014 began. Yellen
will surely be asked about the January
jobs report, which showed lackluster
hiring for a second straight month. She
may stress the solid hiring in sectors
like manufacturing and construction.
EMERGING MARKETS
Investors: Investors have yanked
money from emerging economies from
Turkey to Argentina. Theyve done so
in part because they fear that a pullback
in the Feds stimulus will send U.S.
interest rates up and draw investor
money from overseas in search of
higher returns. Currency and stock val-
ues in emerging markets have dropped.
The Fed made no mention of this devel-
opment in its most recent policy state-
ment, leaving investors unsure how
concerned Yellen and the Fed might be.
Yellen: She may point out that some
developing nations have moved to sup-
port their currencies by boosting rates
and pursuing economic reforms. She
may also note a sometimes-forgotten
fact: That the Feds mandate is to maxi-
mize employment and keep prices sta-
ble in the United States, not the rest of
the world. But Yellen will likely assure
investors that the Fed is monitoring
emerging markets for any signs that
turbulence there might be harming the
U.S. economy.
Yellens words to be studied for Fed policy clues
GM CEO Barras pay
package worth $14.4M this year
DETROIT New General Motors CEO Mary Barra will
get a pay package worth $14.4 million this year, 58 percent
more than her male predecessor, the company said Monday.
GM released the gure to counter reports that said Barra,
the rst woman to lead a major automaker, would be paid
less than former Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson.
Those reports calculated Barras compensation without
including her long-term stock compensation, and the com-
pany was criticized for paying a woman leader less than a
man.
Barra will get $1.6 million in salary, $2.8 million in
short-term incentives and long-term stock compensation
worth $10 million, the company said in a statement. The
long-term amount is part of a new incentive plan that still
has to be voted on by shareholders in June.
Akerson received roughly $9.1 million for 2013, the
same package he received in 2012, GM spokesman Greg
Martin said. His base salary was $100,000 more than Barra
will get, but she likely will earn far more in stock-based
compensation.
Icahn retreats from Apple
battle on stock buybacks
SAN FRANCISCO Activist investor Carl Icahn is
retreating from his battle with Apples board of directors,
ending a high-prole campaign to pressure the iPhone
maker into spending more money to buy back its own
stock.
The about-face outlined in an Icahn letter to Apples share-
holders gures to turn the companys Feb. 28 annual meet-
ing into a more sedate affair.
Icahn had been trying to drum up support for a non-bind-
ing proposal urging Apple Inc. to spend at least $50 billion
buying back its shares during the scal year ending in
September. The idea faced mounting opposition from other
stockholders who supported the companys board.
To hit Icahns target, Apples board would have had to
increase the volume of stock buybacks authorized under a
program unveiled last year. That plan allows Apple to spend
$60 billion on its stock through December 2015. The com-
pany only had $37 billion still left for stock purchases
under that plan as it began the scal year.
McDonalds U.S. sales chilled by January weather
NEWYORK McDonalds says bad weather hurt its U.S.
sales performance in January, representing another setback
as the fast-food chain ghts to fend off rivals and get its
menu right.
The worlds biggest hamburger chain says sales fell 3.3
percent at established U.S. locations last month.
Its global sales gure rose 1.2 percent, however, lifted by
improvements in Europe and the region encompassing
Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
Business briefs

SEATTLE Mark Zuckerberg and
his wife, Priscilla Chan, were the most
generous American philanthropists in
2013, with a donation of 18 million
shares of Facebook stock, valued at
more than $970 million, to a Silicon
Valley nonprot in December.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy
reported Monday that Zuckerbergs
donation was the largest charitable
gift on the public record in 2013 and
put the young couple at the top of the
magazines annual list of 50 most gen-
erous Americans in 2013.
The top 50 contributors made dona-
tions last year totaling $7.7 billion,
plus pledges of $2.9 billion.
The Chronicles editor says the most
signicant fact from the list was the
amount of money coming from living
donors, which totaled about the same
amount as the two previous years com-
bined.
Its a sure sign that the economy is
getting better and people are getting a
lot less cautious, said Stacy Palmer,
Chronicle editor.
Some of the nations biggest givers
do not appear on the 2013 list, not
because they stopped being generous,
but because their donations in 2013
were counted as pledges in previous
years.
For example, Microsoft co-founder
Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda, gave
their foundation slightly more than
$181.3 million last year, but they were
paying off a pledge of about $3.3 bil-
lion they made in 2004.

1st openly gay NFL player to face hurdles
Warriors take

By Arnie Stapleton
Michael Sam will face a daunting set of
challenges that most rookies dont have to
deal with when making the already formida-
ble jump from college to the NFL.
The SECs co-defensive player of the year
is about to nd out if Americas most popu-
lar sport, rooted in machismo and
entrenched in locker room hijinks, is ready
for its rst openly gay player.
First, hell have to nd a team willing to
put up with the media circus that will sur-
round him. Then, hell have to nd accept-
ance like he did at Missouri, where his sexu-
ality was a non-issue during a 12-2 season.
Only now, hell face opponents and their
fans who know hes gay. He might even face
cheap shots and teammates hesitant to
shower alongside him or undress in his
presence.
While several teams and coaches said
Monday that Sams sexual orientation
wouldnt affect his draft status, former NFL
punter Chris Kluwe, who contends his
championing of gay rights led to his release
from the Minnesota Vikings last year, was-
nt so sure.
The majority of players will be support-

Loew has never been bigger
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Burlingames Nick Loew has always been
a cant-miss gure on the basketball court.
Since his arrival on the Peninsula Athletic
League scene as a freshman, the center for
the Panthers has always been one of the
PALs biggest players. It wasnt too long
after he rst stepped onto the court that his
skill caught up with his size and the two
have made for one heck of a combination.
Last season, the All-League center saw his
high school career reach an apex as he was
the focal point of a basketball team that
captured it rst ever Central Coast Section
title. But with the highs of victory now
comes the a realization even witha CCS
championship season under his belt, Loew
is perhaps in the middle of his best varsity
year.
And through all those years of success,
the big man in the middle of Panthers had
never been about the spotlight. Surrounded
by dynamic shooters throughout his career,

OAKLAND Marreese Speights scored a
career-high 32 points to hand his former
team a near-record setback, leading the
Golden State Warriors past the woeful
Philadelphia 76ers 123-80 on Monday
night.
After losing 123-78 at the Los Angeles
Clippers on Sunday night in a game they
trailed by 56 points in the third quarter,
Philadelphia gured it couldnt get much
worse.
It almost did.
Speights nished 12-of-15 shooting and
grabbed eight rebounds, and Stephen Curry
added 23 points and eight assists to help the
Warriors go ahead by 49 in the fourth quar-
ter.
Philadelphia nearly matched the NBA
mark for the largest total margin of defeat in
consecutive games. The Detroit Pistons lost
by 95 points combined in back-to-back
games in November 1966, according to
STATS.
Michael Carter-Williams scored 24
points, and Evan Turner and Thaddeus Young
had 12 points apiece for a rebuilding 76ers
team that never put up much of a ght.
The two-game stretch was the worst in
nearly 20 years for the 76ers, who lost
back-to-back games in April 1994 by a com-
bined 93 points.
No other team in NBAhistory has lost two
straight games by at least 40 points each.
Philadelphia has now done it twice.

The Gryphons are still flying
fly. And its due to a couple of
their leaders.
Natasha Thornton-Clark and
Megan Duncanson of Crystal
Springs Uplands School girls
soccer, helped their team to a 2-1
win over Harker, sending the
Eagles to their first loss in West
Bay Athletic Leagues Skyline
Division play. Both Thornton-
Clark and Duncanson had a goal
and an assist in the victory,
which kept the Gryphons in the
running for the division crown.
Also in the girls soccer world,
Alexis Prieto and Kelsey Andews
of Burlingame have the Panthers
thinking division title. Andrews
saved the day for the Panthers,
scoring the tying goal in a 1-1
tie against Hillsdale. Prieto had a
big day in a 4-2 win over Aragon,
scoring twice and assisting on a
third as the Panthers joined
Woodside atop the Bay Division
table.
Spreaking of Woodside,
Isabella Bascara and Jillienne
Aguilera a freshman and soph-
omore respectively they both
had three goals in a pair of wins
last week. Both tallied twice in a
6-0 win over Aragon and each
found the mark again in a 4-1 win
over Carlmont, which boosted
the Wildcats back to the top of
the PAL Bay Division standings.
Elsewhere in the Honor Roll,
James McLean of Sacred Heart
Prep basketball came up big in a
pair of games last week. He
scored 19 in a 60-58 loss to
Pinewood and came back with a
16-point effort in a 55-51 over-
time win over Menlo School
Friday night.
Paolo Maramba of San Mateo
basketball scored 19 points, hit-
ting five 3-pointers in the
process, in a 56-42 loss to

Aubrie Businger is just a fresh-
man but is making major contri-
butions to the first-place
Vikings squad. In a 47-46 loss to
Carlmont the first in league
play for Mills Businger scored
10 points, grabbed eight
rebounds and handed out three
assists. In a 43-40 win over
Burlingame, Businger came up
one point short of a second
straight double-double, finishing
with nine points and 10 boards.
Frankie Ferrari, the USF-bound
point guard from Burlingame
helped lead the Panthers to a pair
of wins last week. He scored 25 of
his game-high 29 points in the
first half of a 76-55 win over
Hillsdale and came back with a

Honor Roll players keeping

SOCHI, Russia Different
American, same result for Maria
Hoefl-Riesch another Olympic
gold in the super-combined.
Just as she did four years ago at
the Vancouver Games, Hoefl-
Riesch found herself trailing an
American after the downhill leg
before using her slalom skills to
vault into first place and success-
fully defend her Olympic title in
the dual-run event.
The German finished less than
a second ahead of both silver
medalist Nicole Hosp of Austria
and Julia Mancuso of the United
States, who won the bronze.
Mancuso won silver in the event
in Vancouver.
Lindsey Vonn had the fastest
downhill time in Vancouver, but
when Vonn skied out on the
slalom, Hoefl-Riesch roared back
to claim gold. This time, Vonn is
out with an injury, and Mancuso
replaced her at the top the stand-
ings after the downhill.
Also on Day 4 of the Sochi
Olympics, Charles Hamelin of
Canada raced to the 1,500-meter
short track speedskating gold,
and Viktor Ahn earned the bronze
to give Russia its first-ever short
track medal; Michel Mulder of the
Netherlands earned the 500-meter
speedskating gold; Martin
Fourcade won the 12.5-kilometer
biathlon pursuit; and Alex
Bilodeau won his second consec-
utive gold medal in mens
moguls.
ALPINE SKIING: Hoefl-Riesch

was fifth fastest in the opening
downhill leg, trailing Mancuso
by 1.04 seconds. The Germans
two-run time of 2 minutes, 34.62
seconds was 0.40 seconds faster
than Hosp. Mancuso, who fin-
ished 0.53 behind Hoefl-Riesch,
won her fourth career Olympic
medal in Alpine skiing. No other
American woman has won more
than two.
SHORT TRACK SPEEDSKAT-

ING: At 29, Hamelin was the old-
est skater in the first final of the
short track competition. The
wily veteran maintained a top-
three position throughout most
of the 14-lap race, leaving
enough at the end to defeat a
loaded field, including Ahn and
silver medalist Han Tianyu of
China. Ahn was a three-time gold
medalist for his native South
Korea, but after missing the
Vancouver Games he changed his
name and became a Russian citi-
zen. When he stepped on the
medals podium, the mostly
Russian crowd erupted in wild
cheers.
SPEEDSKATING: Mulders
500-meter speedskating victory
earned him the title of fastest
man on skates. Teammate Jan
Smeekens was 0.01 seconds
behind for silver, and twin
Ronald Mulder took bronze in a
Dutch sweep.
BIATHLON: Fourcades win

earned France its first medal.
Ondrej Moravec of Czech
Republic took the silver, and
Jean Guillaume Beatrix of France
earned bronze. Ole Einar
Bjoerndalen of Norway finished
fourth, missing out on a record
13th Winter Olympic medal.
MENS MOGULS: Bilodeau

became the Olymics first repeat
winner in mens moguls.
Canadian teammate Mikael
Kingsbury won the silver, giving
the Canadians a 1-2 finish in
both mens and womens moguls.
CURLING: The Norwegian

men, curlings fashion kings of
cool, made their Sochi debut with
another snazzy pattern on their
pants -- a mixture of red, white,
blue and gray squares and rectan-
gles. Norway dazzled the U.S. 7-
4, but the surprise of opening day
was Switzerlands upset of
defending champion Canada. On
the womens side, Sweden defeat-
ed Britain 6-4 in a matchup of
two favorites for the womens
curling gold.
ICE HOCKEY: The United

States romped to a 9-0 victory
over Switzerland to all-but clinch
a spot in the Olympic womens
hockey semifinals. Canada
topped Finland 3-0 to ensure its
spot in the semifinals.

Golden State outshot the Sixers 48.9 per-
cent to 36.7 percent and outrebounded them
60-38 despite playing without center
Andrew Bogut (left shoulder injury) and
backup center Jermaine ONeal (sore right
wrist). David Lee, who had missed the past
two games with a sprained left shoulder and
strained left hip, had 13 points and 13
rebounds in 31 minutes.
Sixers coach Brett Brown said before the
game that he was happy his team had a
chance to quickly atone for its horrendous
showing in Los Angeles. Instead, the 76ers
had another embarrassing performance.
As if Philadelphias miserable two-day
stretch wasnt bad enough, it was capped off
by one of its former draft picks.
Speights spent his rst 2 1/2 seasons in
Philadelphia before getting traded to
Memphis. He split last season between
Memphis and Cleveland before signing
with the Warriors as a free agent last sum-
mer.
The reserve big man made his rst seven
jumpers, including a 3-pointer and a layup
through traffic that started a three-point
play, to give Golden State a 47-27 lead mid-
way through the second quarter.
On his eighth attempt, Speights missed a
26-footer that had nearly everybody in the
announced sellout crowd of 19,596 waiting
to roar before it caromed off the rim.
Speights left to a standing ovation before
the Warriors went ahead 66-33 at halftime.

The last couple of years, weve liked to
have him in that low post so hes gotten
more and more comfortable with it, said
Burlingame head coach Pete Harames, who

Youd almost want him to be a little more

tion he has been doing that the last few
weeks really asserting himself, I think.
Hes going to the basket and getting fouled

at another CCS title. In two wins last week,
Loew scored 24 points against Hillsdale and
added another 16 against Mills in what was
a division-clinching win for the Panthers.
He did this by shooting an average of 73
percent from the oor and close to 87 per-
cent from the free throw line.
For his efforts, Loew is the Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
Hes been really active around the basket
lately and getting a lot to the free throw line
and his rebounding is still a terric part of
his game, Harames said. His defense has
been terric, as well. Pretty much anyone
that gets the ball down there, hes defending
them really well. And thats been a real
improvement this year. It was always good,
but its outstanding this year.
Outstanding to the point that hes averag-
ing almost 14 boards a game and nearly four
blocks a contest per Maxpreps.com, while
maintaining his point total at a touch under
17 points per.
Were a different team offensively this
year and I think sometimes that takes away
from (Loews game) because we run the oor
more where Nick was kind of the focal
point last year as far as in and out, Harames
said.
Still, even without the spotlight on Loew
when it comes to offensive production, the
fact is, if Burlingame is going to repeat as
CCS champions, its center will have to
once again be the focal point of a complete
team effort.
Hes a tireless worker, Harames said.
Hes a positive inuence with his leader-
ship. Hes an outstanding leader.

COLUMBIA, Mo. Michael Sam was just
another recruit when he left his small Texas
hometown and arrived in Missouri. Playing
for the Tigers, he turned into a private loqua-
cious leader ready to make a trailblazing
announcement.
The defensive star wants to become the
rst openly gay NFL player.
I told him: This is going to be mam-
moth, coach Gary Pinkel said Monday, a
day after Sam came out to the world. I dont
have a word, OK, for how big this is going
to be.
Its a bigger deal for the older generation.
Sams teammates and acquaintances easily
made the adjustment, plus he proved himself
on the eld.
Hes a leader, former 49ers great run-
ning back Roger Craig said. I would de-
nitely welcome him on my team. Id play
with him any day. I like people who stand up
for themselves.
Sam revealed he was gay at one of the
football teams get-acquainted dinners last
summer hosted by Pinkel and assistant
coaches. The next day, Pinkel said, Sam told
the entire team.
Realizing the enormity of the situation,
Pinkel left the next move up to the senior
who blossomed into one of the best defen-
sive ends in the country and one sur-
rounded by teammates who didnt worry one
bit about sexual orientation or reveal his
secret until he came out on Sunday.
Athletes across the campus approve.
Love is love, basketball guard Jordan
Clarkson said. Thats their personal life.
Pinkel, athletic director Mike Alden and
other school officials applauded Sams
courage Monday at Faurot Field. As a back-
drop, the rst two letters of Sams last name
were etched in snow to join the giant M
just beyond the north end zone.
Pretty cool, Pinkel said.
Coaches and Sam agreed that making an
announcement during the season might be a
distraction. It was Sams call to skip all the
weekly media days and postgame news con-
ferences, too, the better to avoid the risk of
the topic coming up. Sam broke his silence
prior to the Cotton Bowl and the conversa-
tion stayed on football, just like he wanted.
Sam was prompted to make his decision to
come out after the Senior Bowl, where it
became apparent the players sexual orien-
tation was widely known. This meant a dec-
laration just days before the NFL combine
and shouldering the pressure that goes
along with the historic declaration.
Its very clear that everybody in the NFL
knew, said Howard Bragman, a consultant
hired by Sams agent to help manage the
announcement in the media.
The NFL and many others, including the
White House, publicly applauded Sams
decision. President Barack Obamas
spokesman, rst lady Michelle Obama and
Vice President Joe Biden all called him a
courageous and inspirational athlete.
But now, after a few high-prole inter-
views, its back to silent Sam. The fth
level of the stadium was jammed with dozens
of reporters for Mondays news conference
but there was no sign of the star attraction.
Pinkel, Mizzou applaud
Michael Sams courage

out and say that, so were going to use the
word distraction, Kluwe added. And unfor-
tunately, those are the people who deter-
mine if youre employed or not.
John Elway has a unique perspective run-
ning the Broncos front ofce now after a
Hall of Fame playing career, and he said
Monday hed have no problem drafting
Sam.
We will evaluate Michael just like any
other draft prospect: on the basis of his
ability, character and NFL potential. His
announcement will have no effect on how
we see him as a football player, Elway said.
Having spent 16 years in an NFL locker
room, the bottom line is that its about
treating others with respect and earning that
respect. By all indications, it appears
Michael has done just that throughout his
football career.
Several coaches said if a player is
accountable and a winner, being gay is a
non-issue.
If anybody can come in and help us win
games and be successful black, white,
yellow, straight, gay I dont think it mat-
ters, said new Green Bay quarterbacks
coach Alex Van Pelt.
Before Sam revealed his sexual orienta-
tion, the pass-rusher was projected as a mid-
round draft pick.
Kluwe said reports that Sams draft stock
could drop because he revealed his sexual
orientation basically could have been lift-
ed from any American sporting paper in the
1940s when Jackie Robinson was about to
enter Major League Baseball. Its like weve
been here before. Why do we have to keep
doing the same thing?
NFL
Mateo and Aragon the two teams at the
bottom of the standings. Menlo-Atherton
has another showdown with rival Woodside
Thursday, with the Wildcats coming off a
must-win game against Carlmont
Wednesday. Back-to-back games for
Woodside will test its mental fortitude.
In the Ocean Division, El Camino has
quietly risen to the top of the standings and
is working on an unbeaten league season.
The Colts 26 points are two points clear
of rival South City and ve points ahead of
third-place Hillsdale.
If the Colts can hold off those chal-
lenges, they will have denitely earned the
title. Their two nal regular-season games
come against South City Wednesday and
Hillsdale next Friday.
Girls soccer
Both the PAL Bay and Ocean races are as
tight as can be. Woodside, Burlingame and
Carlmont are all battling it for the Bay
Division championship, while Menlo-
Atherton is within shouting distance.
Burlingame probably has the toughest
road left, with game a game against Menlo-
Atherton today and Carlmont next Tuesday.
In the Ocean Division, the race is com-
ing down to Half Moon Bay and Terra
Nova, which will most likely end up as co-
champions. They split their season series
and they are both head and shoulders better
than the rest of the league. Aloss by either
from here on out would be considered a
major upset.
Wrestling
In PAL Bay Division wrestling, the title
will, once again, come down to a matchup
between Half Moon Bay and Terra Nova,
who meet in Pacica Thursday night. Terra
Nova is the defending champion, Half
Moon Bay was the 2012 champ. Both enter
the match undefeated in league dual meets
and both have a number of ranked
wrestlers.
In the Ocean Division, Menlo-Atherton
and Burlingame both have shots at nish-
ing at co-champions. Both are 4-1, with
the Bears hosting Burlingame and the
Vikings traveling to Woodside.
If Burlingame beats M-Aand Mills wins,
the Vikings would be outright champions.
Girls basketball
Carlmont and Mills are tied for the PAL
South lead right now, a game ahead of
Hillsdale.
Fifth-place Capuchino could end up play-
ing the spoiler, however. The Mustangs
have games against both the Scots
(Wednesday) and Mills (Friday). If Cap
knocks off both and Hillsdale wins its nal
two games, there could be a three-way tie
for the top spot.

At the professional level, sport is all
about winning and losing. At the high
school and college levels, however, there
is more to sports than just the nal score.
Prep atheltics are an extension of the class-
room and are supposed to be used to teach
life lesson that student-athletes can apply
in their every-day lives.
Friday night was one such occasion when
Menlo School hosted rival Sacred Heart
Prep in both boys and girls basketball.l
The rivalry may exist on the court, but
Friday both the Menlo and SHP student
bodies came together to lift the spirits of a
young man battling cancer.
Friday was coined Noahs Day and the
student sections showed their support for
the seven-year-old South Bay student,
whose teacher is the wife of Menlo coach
Delandro Leday. Noah was diagnosed with
Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, a high-
grade, cancerous brain tumor. He is being
treated at the U.C. San Francisco medical
center and is part of a clinical trial in
Houston, Tx.
Instead of the usual gold worn by Menlo
fans and the cardinal of SHP, most of those
in attendance were clad in orange, Noahs
favorite color. Noah was an honored guest
at the game and was named Menlos team
captain for the night. He was also given a
game ball and signed jerseys from both
teams.
"We got a lot of support from Menlo for
making this a special day for Noah and
Prep did a great job with service, so kudos
to them for all their help," Leday said in a
press release.
SHP pulled out a 55-51 overtime win to
sweep the regular-season series from
Menlo, but the big winner Friday night was
Noah.

High school athletes arent the only
ones getting involved in the battle against
cancer. The Skyline mens and womens
basketball teams will host a Coaches vs.
Cancer Wednesday, when they host Las
Positas College-Livermore in a double-
header.
The Skyline athletic department will
donate all proceeds to the family of Bella
Hung, an eight-year-old girl from Pacica
who was diagnosed with Acute
Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) this past
Novemeber. ALL is a cancer of the blood
and bone marrow, and is one of the most
common types of cancer in children. Bella
is facing two more years of chemotherapy.
Bellas mother is a former Skyline College
student.
The mens game tips off at 5 p.m., fol-
lowed by the women at 7 p.m.

Congratulations are in order for Skyline
baseball manager Dino Nomicos, who won
his 300th game with the Trojans with a 12-
1 win over visiting College of the
Redwoods Sunday.
Nomicos, who took over the Skyline
program beginning the 2000 season, has
averaged 20 wins during his 15 seasons
with Skyline.
More importantly, however, was the fact
Skyline picked up its rst two wins of the
season Sunday with a doubleheader sweep

Sochi faces issue of
empty seats, atmosphere
SOCHI, Russia Its an issue
that comes up in the early days of
almost every Olympics: What to
do about those empty seats and
lack of buzz?
Its the case again in Sochi, with
some senior Olympic officials
voicing concern about less-than-
capacity crowds and a dearth of
spectator enthusiasm.
One International Olympic
Committee member suggested
Monday that school children and
unarmed soldiers be let in to help
ll venues.
Gerhard Heiberg, a Norwegian
member who heads the IOC mar-
keting commission, praised the
overall organization but said the
games werent as lively as hoped.
We feared that a little bit,
Heiberg said. We were warned
about this. The TV pictures are
wonderful, the competitions are
wonderful, the venues are great.
But I feel a bit the lack of enthusi-
asm and the joy of sports.
Heiberg said the issue had
reached the highest levels of the
International Olympic
Committee.
There are not enough people,
he said. You have seen the stadi-
ums are not lled.
Some events, like gure skat-
ing, have been packed. Others,
like biathlon, have been half-
empty.

BAGHDAD An instructor teaching his
militant recruits how to make car bombs
accidentally set off explosives in his
demonstration Monday, killing 21 of them
in a huge blast that alerted authorities to the
existence of the rural training camp in an
orchard north of Baghdad. Nearly two dozen
people were arrested, including wounded
insurgents trying to hobble away from the
scene.
The fatal goof by the al-Qaida breakaway
group that dominates the Sunni insurgency
in Iraq happened on the same day that the
speaker of the Iraqi parliament, a prominent
Sunni whom the militants consider a traitor,
escaped unhurt from a roadside bomb attack
on his motorcade in the northern city of
Mosul.
Nevertheless, the events underscored the
determination of the insurgents to rebuild
and regain the strength they enjoyed in Iraq
at the height of the war until U.S.-backed
Sunni tribesmen turned against them. The
militants are currently battling for control
of mainly Sunni areas of western Iraq in a
key test of the Shiite-led governments
ability to maintain security more than two
years after the withdrawal of U.S. troops.
While the Iraqi army has been attacking
insurgent training camps in the vast desert
of western Anbar province near the Syrian
border, it is unusual to nd such a camp in
the center of the country, just 95 kilometers
(60 miles) north of the capital.
The discovery shows that the terrorist
groups have made a strong comeback in Iraq
and that the security problems are far from
over, and things are heading from bad to
worse, said Hamid al-Mutlaq, a member of
the parliaments security and defense com-
mittee.
Iraqi militants accidentally kill 21 of their own
IOC: Black armbands,
helmet stickers not allowed
SOCHI, Russia The IOC is telling
Olympic athletes they may not wear arm-
bands or stickers during competition to
commemorate the dead.
The Olympic body said Monday it sent a
letter to Norwegian Olympic ofcials after
four female cross-country wore black arm-
bands in memory of an athletes brother
who died on the eve of the games.
The International Olympic Committee
also told freestyle skiers not to wear stick-
ers on their helmets in tribute to Canadian
halfpipe skier Sarah Burke, who died after a
crash in training two years ago.
We would say the competitions them-
selves, which are a place of celebration, are
probably not the right place to really do
that, IOC spokesman Mark Adams said.
We would like to keep that separate.
Burke died Jan. 19, 2012, nine days after
a training accident on a halfpipe in Park
City, Utah. She was 29.
Burke lobbied hard for inclusion of all the
freeskiing disciplines for women in the X
Games and, ultimately, the Olympics.
Some athletes had wanted to wear helmet
stickers in tribute but were turned down by
the IOC.
EU urges new
government, elections in Ukraine
BRUSSELS In a sharp rebuke to
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych,
the European Union on Monday called for
the formation of a new, inclusive govern-
ment and constitutional reforms that would
pave the way to free and fair presidential
elections.
The blocs 28 foreign ministers said in a
joint statement they were alarmed by the
human rights situation, including violence,
cases of missing persons, torture and intim-
idation as part of the authorities crack-
down against the ongoing protests, reect-
ing an atmosphere of impunity.
Ukraine has been rocked by nearly three
months of anti-government protests
sparked by Yanukovychs refusal to sign an
agreement with the EU and accept a $15 bil-
lion loan package from Russia instead. The
political deadlock is also pushing Ukraines
economy closer to the brink; its currency
and foreign reserves are tumbling while
Moscow has suspended its loan payments.

BEIRUT Aid ofcials rushed to evacuate
more women, children and elderly from
rebel-held areas that have been blockaded
by government troops for more than a year
in Syrias third-largest city, Homs, after a
U.N.-brokered cease-fire in the city was
renewed for three more days Monday.
The truce, which began Friday, has been
shaken by continued shelling and shooting
that prevented some residents from escap-
ing and limited the amount of food aid of-
cials have been able to deliver into the
besieged neighborhoods.
U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos
sharply criticized the two sides, saying
U.N. and Syrian Red Crescent workers were
deliberately targeted.
The drama in Homs, where Amos said
around 800 civilians have been evacuated so
far, played out as activists on Monday
reported new sectarian killings in Syrias
civil war.
Al-Qaida-inspired rebels killed more than
two dozen civilians, including an entire
family, when they overran a village popu-
lated by minority Alawites on Sunday, Rami
Abdurrahman of the British-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said. They
also killed around 20 local ghters in the
village, he said.
The violence further rattled peace talks
that entered their second round Monday in
Geneva and which quickly became mired
in recriminations between President Bashar
Assads government and the opposition in
exile.
The two sides rst face-to-face meetings
adjourned 10 days ago, having achieved lit-
tle.

FEET, LEGS, HANDS
Prickling orTingling of Feet/Hands
By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO Nearly 3 out of 4 U.S. chil-
dren and young adults consume at least some
caffeine, mostly from soda, tea and coffee.
The rate didnt budge much over a decade,
although soda use declined and energy
drinks became an increasingly common
source, a government analysis nds.
Though even most preschoolers consume
some caffeine-containing products, their
average was the amount found in half a can
of soda, and overall caffeine intake declined
in children up to age 11 during the decade.
The analysis is the rst to examine recent
national trends in caffeine intake among
children and young adults and comes amid a
U.S. Food and Drug Administration investi-
gation into the safety of caffeine-contain-
ing foods and drinks, especially for chil-
dren and teens. In an online announcement
about the investigation, the FDAnotes that
caffeine is found in a variety of foods, gum
and even some jelly beans and marshmal-
lows.
The probe is partly in response to reports
about hospitalizations and even several
deaths after consuming highly caffeinated
drinks or energy shots. The drinks have not
been proven to be a cause in those cases.
The new analysis, by researchers at the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, shows that at least through
2010, energy drinks were an uncommon
source of caffeine for most U.S. youth.
The results were published online
Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
The American Academy of Pediatrics rec-
ommends against caffeine consumption for
children and teens because of potentially
harmful effects from the mild stimulant,
including increases in heart rate and blood
pressure, and worsening anxiety in those
with anxiety disorders.
Dr. Stephen Daniels, chairman of the
academys nutrition committee, said caf-
feine has no nutritional value and theres no
good data on what might be a safe amount
for kids.
Evidence that even very young children
may regularly consume caffeine products
raises concerns about possible long-term
health effects, so parents should try to limit
their kids intake, said Daniels, head of
Caffeine common in kids, young adults
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends against caffeine consumption for children
and teens because of potentially harmful effects from the mild stimulant,including increases
in heart rate and blood pressure, and worsening anxiety in those with anxiety disorders.

The authors analyzed national health sur-
veys from 1999 through 2010, involving a
total of 22,000 from age 2 to 22. The chil-
dren or their parents answered questions
about what they ate or drank the previous
day, a common method researchers use to
assess Americans diets.
In 2010, 10 percent of daily caffeine came
from energy drinks for 19- to 22-year-olds;
2 percent for 17- to 18-year-olds, and 3 per-
cent for 12- to 16-year-olds. For younger
kids, the amount from energy drinks was
mostly minimal or none during the study.
The average intake in the study was about
60- to 70 milligrams daily, the amount in a
6-ounce cup of coffee or two sodas, said lead
author Amy Branum, a health statistician at
the CDCs National Center for Health
Statistics. For the youngest kids it was
much less than that.
Use of energy drinks increased rapidly
during the study, even if they didnt amount
to a big portion of kids caffeine intake, and
that rise is a trend researchers are going to
keep their eyes on, Branum said.
Soda was the most common source of caf-
feine throughout the study for older children
and teens; for those up to age 5, it was the
second most common after tea. Soda intake
declined for all ages as many schools
stopped selling sugary soft drinks because
of obesity concerns.
The American Beverage Association,
whose members include makers of soft
drinks and energy drinks, maintains that
caffeine has been safely added to drinks as a
avor enhancer for more than 100 years.
In amounts often found in coffee and
some energy drinks, caffeine can have a
pleasant stimulating or alerting effect, the
groups website says.
Maureen Beach, a group spokeswoman,
said the study conrms that kids consump-
tion of caffeine from soft drinks has
decreased.

California properties under similar circum-
stances, Hill said.
The case earned national notoriety after a
group of surfers, now known as Martins 5,
were cited for trespassing after entering the
property to surf the local break in October.
The ve surfers became advocates for the
underlying issue of coastal access rights and
after extending personal nances and time,
Jonathan Bremer said hes grateful to be
given legislative support.
We nally feel like were getting the sup-
port we actually need to change things,
Bremer said. Fighting the battle ourselves,
feels like were a very small sh in a very
big pond.
The criminal charges against Martins 5
were quickly dropped by the San Mateo
County District Attorneys Ofce, but legal
battles pitting the rights of private proper-
ty owners against the publics right to
beach access continue.
Prior to Hills proposed legislation, the
public led suits alleging the closure of
Martins Beach Road was unlawful. The
Friends of Martins Beach led a lawsuit cit-
ing the states constitution but the case was
shot down last year when a judge ruled to
uphold a 1848 law guaranteeing the recog-
nition of Mexican land grants. The Surfrider
Foundation sprung to action and initiated a
suit accusing the property owner of violat-
ing the California Coastal Act by making
alterations on the road without permits.
That case is still pending.
Hills announcement came with applause
from county ofcials and coastal activists
who want to reinstate the public right-of-
way to the secluded beach. Mike Wallace, a
Half Moon Bay surf club coach and Surfrider
spokesman, stood alongside Hill on
Monday.
In every step in this saga, Khosla has
taken every step to be an unreasonable
man, Wallace said. This is very disre-
spectful to the families whove been com-
ing to this beach and had a love affair with
[Martins Beach.]
Supervisor Don Horsley held his chil-
drens birthday parties at Martins Beach
and hopes the public will be given the
opportunity to frequent the unique strip of
coast once again.
I want to thank Senator Hill for introduc-
ing legislation to try to get public access
to, I think, one of the real treasures of the
coastside, Horsley said.
Julie Graves has been a regular at Martins
Beach for years and is appalled by the
Khoslas decision to close off a portion of
the coast thats been open to the public for
a century.
This guys not the 1 percent, hes the .01
percent. This is emblematic of the inequali-
ty and monetization of the coast, Graves
said. Weve got to preserve what weve
got. Because once [coastal properties] go
into development or get cut off to the pub-
lic, they never go back.
Greta Waterman bought a 10-year lease on
the contested property and is surprised the
public and state ofcials are questioning the
rights of private property owners.
This is private property. I paid for that. I
had no idea how problematic my sense of
privacy and private property would
become, Waterman said.
She enjoys watching people surf and
thinks a limited ow of people might be
feasible but wonders who the state expects
will pay for road maintenance and public
accommodations such as parking and rest-
rooms.
Chris Adams visited Martins Beach every
year for decades until the road was closed
off. The property owner said he recognizes
an individuals entitlement to their land but
Khosla has gone too far, Adams said.
He has a right to have a house on the
beach, he bought the property. But he
should not deny access to the beach to the
citizens of California, Adams said.
Kyle Foley, another Martins 5 surfer, did-
nt intend on becoming the center of a polit-
ical debate but hes happy to continue with
the ght and grateful with the increased sup-
port the cause is receiving.
This was denitely not an altruistic act
of civil disobedience, Foley said. We just
wanted to go surng on a Sunday morning.

year. In most cases, this is work that the
colleges already have underway, according
to the district.
The main thing is we were accredited and
we are delighted about that, said board
President Karen Schwarz.
Meanwhile, the accreditation team recom-
mended that the College of San Mateo com-
plete and assess Student Learning Outcomes
for all courses, programs, certicates and
degrees, linking them to the Institutional
Learning Outcomes. The team also recom-
mended implementing multiple modes of
assessment for certicates and degrees.
The college should use utilize multiple
modes of assessment for the learning cen-
ters in order to integrate academic support
services with the instructional program,
the accreditation report stated.
At Caada, the college was told to review
its system for identifying course outlines of
record that are out of date to improve and
implement a curriculum process that insures
that all course outlines of record are
reviewed and curriculum currency is main-
tained.
Because of the circumstances surrounding
City College, the documents being present-
ed by the San Mateo County Community
College District this time around were about
double or triple the size they were during the
districts last accreditation review. The
accreditation visits happen every six years
and the one prior to this took place for the
district in 2007.
Were dotting every i and crossing every
t, Barbara Christensen, director of commu-
nity and government relations for the dis-
trict, previously said. Were providing lots
of evidence, minutes from meetings and
gone over the top.
Some of the accreditation commissions
recent additional requirements were over the
top, Trustee Patricia Miljanich previously
said. One example is that you dont just
have to show connections between plan-
ning groups, but provide ow charts.
Its excessive, she said. The communi-
ty would be shocked to nd out how much
money has been spent on things that are
not necessarily related to making sure were
providing good education for the communi-
t y. What used to be an educational process
has become more of a punitive, legally doc-
umenting process.
Cabrillo College, Grossmont College,
MTI College, Salvation Army College for
Ofcer Training at Crestmont and Cuyamaca
College also had their accreditations reaf-
rmed. The agency issued Sierra College a
warning on the basis of its evaluation.
Columbia, Cuesta, Honolulu Community
and Solano Community were all removed
from the warning list and had their accredi-
tations reafrmed on the basis of follow up
reports and visits.

HEALTH 19
By Mike Stobbe
ATLANTA Health ofcials have begun
to predict the end of cigarette smoking in
America.
They have long wished for a cigarette-
free America, but shied away from calling
for smoking rates to fall to zero or near
zero by any particular year. The power of
tobacco companies and popularity of their
products made such a goal seem like a pipe
dream.
But a conuence of changes has recently
prompted public health leaders to start
throwing around phrases like endgame
and tobacco-free generation. Now, they
talk about the slowly-declining adult smok-
ing rate dropping to 10 percent in the next
decade and to 5 percent or lower by 2050.
Acting U.S. Surgeon General Boris
Lushniak last month released a 980-page
report on smoking that pushed for stepped-
up tobacco-control measures. His news con-
ference was an unusually animated showing
of anti-smoking bravado, with Lushniak
nearly yelling, repeatedly, Enough is
enough!
I cant accept that were just allowing
these numbers to trickle down, he said, in
a recent interview with the AP. We believe
we have the public health tools to get us to
the zero level.
This is not the rst time a federal health
ofcial has spoken so boldly. In 1984,
Surgeon General C. Everett Koop called for
a smoke-free society by the year 2000.
However, Koop a bold talker on many
issues didnt offer specics on how to
achieve such a goal.
Whats different today is that we have
policies and programs that have been
proven to drive down tobacco use, said
Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign
for Tobacco-Free Kids. We couldnt say
that in 1984.
Among the things
that have changed:
Cigarette taxes have increased around
the country, making smokes more expen-
sive. Though prices vary from state to state,
on average a pack of cigarettes that would
have sold for about $1.75 20 years ago
would cost more than triple that now.
Laws banning smoking in restaurants,
bars and workplaces have popped up all
over the country. Airline ights have long
been off-limits for smoking.
Polls show that cigarette smoking
is no longer considered normal behav-
i or, and is now less popular among
teens than marijuana.
Federal officials are increasingly
aggressive about anti-smoking advertis-
ing. The Food and Drug Administration
launched a new youth tobacco prevention
campaign last week. At about the same
time, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention debuted a third, $60-million
round of its successful anti-tobacco ad cam-
paign this one featuring poignant,
deathbed images of a woman featured in ear-
lier ads.
Tobacco companies, once considered
impervious to legal attack, have suffered
some huge defeats in court. Perhaps the
biggest was the 1998 settlement of a case
brought by more than 40 states demanding
compensation for the costs of treating
smoking-related illnesses. Big Tobacco
agreed to pay about $200 billion and curtail
marketing of cigarettes to youths.
Retailing of cigarettes is changing, too.
CVS Caremark, the nations second-largest
pharmacy chain, announced last week it
will stop selling tobacco products at its
more than 7,600 drugstores. The company
said it made the decision in a bid to focus
more on providing health care, but medical
and public health leaders predicted pressure
will increase on companies like Walgreen
Co. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to follow suit.
Experts increasingly contemplate end of smoking
REUTERS
Fifty years after the rst U.S. surgeon generals report declared smoking a hazard to human
health, the tally of smoking-related effects keeps rising, with liver and colorectal cancers,
diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and even erectile dysfunction joining the list, according to a
report released Jan. 17.
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON Angling to avoid polit-
ical peril, the Obama administration
Monday granted employers another delay in
a heavily criticized requirement that medi-
um-to-larger rms cover their workers or
face nes.
In one of several concessions in a com-
plex Treasury Department regulation of
more than 200 pages, the administration
said companies with 50 to 99 employees
will have an additional year to comply with
the coverage requirement, until January 1,
2016.
For businesses with 100 or more employ-
ees the requirement will still take effect in
2015. But other newly announced provi-
sions, affecting technical issues such as the
calculation of working hours, may help
some of those rms.
More than 90 percent of companies with
50 or more employees already cover their
workers without the government telling
them to do so, but the debate has revolved
around the potential impact on new and
growing rms. Most small businesses have
fewer than 50 workers and are exempt from
the mandate. However, employer groups
were also uneasy with a requirement that
denes a full-time worker as someone aver-
aging 30 hours a week.
Republicans trying to take control of the
Senate in the November elections have
once again made President Barack Obamas
health care law their top issue, casting it as
job killer. They want to use the employer
mandate to build that case, with anecdotes
of bosses reluctant to hire a 50th worker, or
slashing the hours of low-wage workers
who need to pay household bills. Mondays
moves by the administration seemed cali-
brated to reduce that risk.
Another delay in health laws employer requirement

I dont want to see the program go
away, said community member Rick
Nava. Theyre going after a STEAM
grant on the pretext theyd bring a big-
ger Montessori program. I dont trust
theyll do that.
This is not the case, Coady said.
Im a Montessori graduate, so Im a
big fan of it and would like to see more
Montessori availability in the dis-
trict, he said. We want there to be
more students [in the program], not
fewer.
North Shoreview parent, who chose
to withhold their name, noted the deci-
sion to move Parkside to a STEAM
program was rash, done with poor
planning and hasnt involved North
Shoreview stakeholders. The plan at
the meeting seemed to be to combine
the two Montessori programs, the
source said.
By making the decision for
Parkside, they affected a separate
school, the parent said. Its a capac-
ity problem [for North Shoreview] and
they made guarantees for certain stu-
dents to have placement into
Montessori programs. Its going to
disrupt a high testing school.
In 2013, North Shoreviews
Academic Performance Index was 888,
while Parksides was 785. The API is a
numeric index that ranges from a low
of 200 to a high of 1,000.
A recent district survey of Parkside
parents and teachers found 57 percent
of families preferred the Montessori
program, while 25 percent preferred,
10 percent wanted the middle school-
geared STEM, 5 percent wanted an
ecology program, 2 percent wanted a
world studies program and 0 percent
wanted another program.
I wanted it to be Montessori, said
Parkside parent Jennifer Trizuto. Im
happy they have decided to keep the
number of seats for Montessori and
grow the program; its the second best
option. Im not sure they completely
understand the picture.
Others are relieved the district came
up with a solution.
We are glad that they nally chose a
single option that will benet every
child in the school and not just a select
few 25 percent or less, said a San
Mateo resident whose family has been
in the area for more than 100 years.
Though the damage is done, parents
between the groups hate each other and
the funny part is the loud mouth par-
ents blabbing about this have no stake
in this anymore, their kids are not in
the program or affected by it. ...
Reality check here, but the middle
schools, high schools and real world
is not a Montessori world so it is like
your is child learning one way while
the rest of the world does it another.
In terms of expanding the
Montessori programming, a district
presentation states it would want to
guarantee all current Parkside
Montessori children have a
Montessori placement during the plan-
ning year, 2014-15 and during the
implementation year, 2015-16.
Parkside teachers who are Montessori
certified would have first transfer
rights, while the Montessori planning
committee would have representation
from both current Montessori schools.
The district has been grappling with
growing enrollment and how to
accommodate new students. The dis-
tricts school board had placed
Measure P on the ballot last summer to
rebuild and expand Bowditch Middle
School to add Foster City fth-graders
and reopen Knolls Elementary School
to 1,050 students in San Mateo for the
2016-17 school year. It would have
cost property owners $19 per
$100,000 assessed property value.
The measure aimed to help the dis-
tricts issues with overcrowding. For
the past ve years, district enrollment
has grown from 1,703 students from
10,079 to 11,782. It didnt receive the
necessary votes to pass though.
I am disappointed by the vote, but I
respect that the majority of our voters
want a different solution to the
increasing student enrollment facing
our schools and to the funding of the
classroom technology required to
ensure student access to 21st century
learning strategies, Cynthia Simms,
superintendent of the district, said in
an official statement back in
November 2013. Following a review
of the nal voting results, and consul-
tation with key school district and
community leaders, I will present a
plan for our Board of Trustees consid-
eration on next steps to engage the
varied constituencies of the district
and ways to address these challenges
together.
The district announced it planned to
implement four strategies, in the fol-
lowing order: take up all empty rooms
available in schools, overflow stu-
dents to schools where there is space,
implement a.m./p.m. kindergarten dis-
trictwide and increase class sizes in
grades 4-8 districtwide, according to
the statement.
The school board next meets

Woods, spokeswoman for Northstar
California Resort near Truckee.
Weve been prepared because we

with the natural snowfall skiers and
boarders with ear-to-ear grins.
The snowfall was so heavy that ava-
lanche concerns on Sunday forced the
closure of some resorts, including
Squaw Valley, where more than 5 feet
fell on the upper mountain, and caused
morning delays at others, including
Heavenly and Kirkwood.
It really was a combination of wind
and avalanche safety and just digging
out the chairlifts, said Liesl Kenney,
a spokeswoman at Heavenly in South
Lake Tahoe, Calif.
We got so much snow and so much
heavy snow, it takes a long time for
staff to get to the right places, she
said, which is always a good problem
to have.
Kip Johnson was among the skiers
eager to get going Monday at the
Mount Rose ski resort on the edge of
Reno.
You know we have been waiting for
this for a long time, he told KRNV-
TV. The snow is a little bit heavier
than we like just for our rst day of
skiing, but you know what? It is what
we needed ... this heavy glob that just
sticks.
The weekend blast was the rst sig-
nificant storm to hit Northern
California in 14 months. It brought
more than 2 inches of rain to Carson
City and about a half-inch to Reno.
But experts cautioned it would take
weeks of similar storms to end the
regions immediate drought worries.
At the end of last month, snow water
content was only 12 percent of normal
in the central Sierra and 5 percent of
normal in the northern Sierra, accord-
ing to the California Department of
Water Resources. The Lake Tahoe
Basins snowpack was measured at 19
percent of normal, while the Truckee
River Basins snowpack was 11 per-
cent.
Precipitation is still lagging about
half behind the normal at Reno-Tahoe
International Airport, where .6 inches
has been reported since Jan. 1 com-
pared with the average 1.33. Only
1.56 inches has been recorded since
Oct. 1, compared to the normal 3.69,
the weather service said.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Carol V. Grener
Case Number: 124164
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Carol V. Grener. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by An-
drew S. Ichimura in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Andrew
S. Ichimura be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: March 10, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
