Christine Wozniak announced
her resignation from the Belmont
City Council late Monday night
citing her need to focus on family
and personal responsibilities
eliciting shock and disappoint-
ment from her peers.
I am greatly honored to have
served the peo-
ple of Belmont
for the last six
years on the
City Council
and for several
years before
that on the
P l a n n i n g
Commi s s i on.
Over these
years I have enjoyed the opportu-
nity to represent the best interests
of our city, our residents and our
region, Wozniak wrote in an
email. I regret that I have an
increasing number of family and
personal responsibilities that
must take priority over my council
role.
The council will now begin to
decide to either hold an election
for a new councilmember or
appoint a replacement, Mayor
Warren Lieberman said.
It was certainly very disap-
pointing and we wish her the very
best of luck with what she needs to
do. I know shes taken her respon-
sibility as a councilmember very
seriously, Lieberman said.
Wozniak addressed her email to
City Manager Greg Scoles who
was surprised and also disappoint-
ed by her leaving.
Ive enjoyed working with her.
She was on the council when I was
appointed as city manager and
shes been very helpful to me per-
sonally. Shes got a good perspec-
tive; shes been a real proponent
of green initiatives, Scoles said.

trafcking in San Mateo County is
prompting law enforcement agen-
cies to increase outreach, promote
a victim hotline and provide spe-

victims and ensuring they are
placed at locations where victims
of this crime can see it and get the
help they need.

The iconic child star Shirley Temple
Black passed away Monday at the age
of 85 in Woodside, where she lived for
many decades.
According to statement from the tel-
evision and film actresss family,
Temple Black died peacefully at her
home of natural causes.
We salute her for a life of remark-
able achievements as an actor, as a
diplomat, and most importantly as our
beloved mother, grandmother, great-
grandmother and adored wife for 55
years of the late and much missed
Charles Alden Black, the family
wrote.
Known as Shirley Temple when she
started acting at age 3, she went on star
in dozens of lms including A Little
Princess and Bright Eyes and as an
adult became a U.S. ambassador to
Ghana and Czechoslovakia.
She served as a past president of the
Common Wealth Club of California
and was recognized with many honors
throughout her lifetime such as the
Kennedy Center Honors in 1998 and
the Screen Actors Guild Life
Achievement Award in 2006.
Woodside Mayor David Burow said
Temple Black was visible in town and
lived in a central neighborhood.
Well obviously miss her, he said.
She was a longtime resident of the
town.
Burow said Woodside made sense for
the high-prole celebrity to make her
home.
People come to Woodside to be
anonymous, he said. He noted she
mostly kept to herself, but she was
always social when frequenting local
businesses, such as the grocery store.
Roberts Market owner George
Roberts said Temple Black used to
shop at the store often, but in recent
years her declining health kept her at
home.
She was wonderful, he said. A
pleasant person.
Roberts, who has lived in Woodside
since 1960, remembered the star
known as a child for her tight ringlets
and sparkling smile, as personable and
social.
She would talk to anybody, he
said. She was not above anything.
He said word spread fast about her
death and shoppers and staff at the mar-
ket were all remembering the loyal
patron.
On Temple Blacks ofcial website,
hundreds of online condolence notes
are pouring in Tuesday morning.
In one post, a fan wrote: Thank you
for making the world smile during a
time when there was little to smile
about after the Depression and during
the War. We also appreciate your diplo-
matic efforts. Godspeed Shirley.
At Tuesdays town council meeting
council members recognized Temple
Blacks passing.
The actress family has asked for
donations in her honor go to the
Academy Museum in Los Angeles or
the Commonwealth Club of
California.

San Jose State
students death ruled suicide
A coroner has ruled that a San Jose State
University student who was found dead in
his dorm room took his own life.
University spokeswoman Pat Lopes
Harris said that the death of 18-year-old
Brenden Tiggs represents the rst on-cam-
pus suicide at the school in at least a decade.
Campus police still are looking into the
circumstances of the freshmans death,
which was discovered Sunday.
Tiggs father, Gary Tiggs, welcomed the
investigation, saying that his son had
excellent grades, a positive outlook and no
reason to end his life.
Several hundred people attended a candle-
light vigil in Tiggs memory outside his
dorm on Monday.
Man, 22, indicted
in 2012 murder of girl, 15
A grand jury has indicted a 22-year-old
man for a series of violent attacks on South
Bay women in 2009 and the 2012 abduction
and murder of a 15-year-old Morgan Hill
girl, Sierra LaMar.
Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff
Rosen announced in a statement that
Antolin Garcia-Torres was indicted Tuesday
for the alleged crimes.
Garcia-Torres is set to be arraigned
Thursday afternoon.
He is accused of trying to kidnap three
women during a string of carjackings in
2009. The victims included an 18-year-old
from Gilroy, a 46-year-old from San Martin
and a 36-year-old from Morgan Hill.

The former head usher at a Daly City church
molested two girls in 2008 and confessed to
the congregation but the pastor did not
remove him nor notify police, according to
prosecutors.
Julian Lopez is charged with six counts of
child molestation and potentially faces life in
prison if convicted because of the allegation
he abused multiple victims. At his initial
arraignment, Lopez, 69, did not enter a plea
but asked for a court-appointed attorney.
Lopez served at Ministerio Mundial in Daly
City when a teen now says that, in October
2008 when she was 10, he approached her
upstairs where she was doing homework and
both kissed and fondled her. The girl said
Lopez threatened to harm her parents if she
told but she informed her mother who con-
tacted the church pastor. The pastor called a
church meeting at which Lopez reportedly
confessed and asked forgiveness from the
congregation, according to prosecutors.
Lopez was removed as an usher but not the
church.
Church pastors are mandated reporters,
meaning people holding
those positions are
required to contact authori-
ties when sexual or physi-
cal abuse is suspected. Not
doing so can be charged as
a misdemeanor.
However, District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe
said it appears at rst
blush that the statute of
limitations has expired.
If not, Wagstaffe said his ofce would cer-
tainly look into possibly ling the charge.
I would want to have this investigated to
nd out the reasoning for not doing so, he
said.
The pastor has since reportedly moved on.
After the teen came forward recently and
made her allegations to police, Lopez was
arrested Feb. 7. Further investigation led to
another reported victim who said around the
same time in 2008 when she was 13 Lopez
also grabbed her twice and touched her inap-
propriately.
Lopez has no prior criminal history in San
Mateo County, according to court records.
Lopez returns to court Feb. 19 to enter a
plea and is being held without bail.

WASHINGTON The House voted over-
whelmingly Tuesday to restore full cost of
living increases to pension benefits for
younger military retirees, responding
eagerly to election-year pressure from veter-
ans groups.
The Senate debated a similar bill as law-
makers hastened to reverse course on the
most controversial cut contained in budget
legislation approved less than two months
ago.
Approval of the measure was never in
doubt in the House, where the nal vote was
326-90.
Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., said the
bill would protect the promises that this
nation has made to our veterans. He called
on Congress to care for those who have
borne the battle and to send that message to
all who can hear it.
Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., argued that
overturning last years relatively modest
change in pensions would eventually cause
military readiness to erode as the Pentagon
struggles to adjust to budget restrictions.
Weve got to make some hard choices.
This bill doesnt do it. It punts in every con-
ceivable way, he said.
Under the bill in the Republican-con-
trolled House, a cut in cost of living increas-
es for military retirees under age 62 would be
eliminated before it is scheduled to take
effect 2015. The $7 billion cost of the
measure would be more than offset by
extending pre-existing cuts in Medicare and
other government programs for an addition-
al year, through 2024.
The change to cost of living benets was
part of a budget bill that Congress approved
late last year, and several lawmakers in both
parties said at the time they would attempt
to reverse it quickly in the new year.
At issue was retirement income for veter-
ans with at least 20 years of military serv-
ice. The Pentagons gures show nearly 2
million retirees receive pensions at an
annual cost to the government of $4.5 bil-
lion a year. Of them, about 840,000 are
under 62 and would be affected by the legis-
lation that passed in December to hold
annual cost of living benets one percent-
age point below the rate of ination begin-
ning next year.
Critics of the change said that would mean
a reduction of nearly $72,000 in benet s
over a lifetime for a sergeant rst class who
retires at age 42.

Nurse pleads no contest to faking time cards

A Redwood City bank robbery defendant
who reportedly told the teller he needed
money for his kidnapped daughters ransom
before making off with $5,600 last month
pleaded not guilty Tuesday.
Just before 10 a.m. Jan. 10, Douglas
Mitchell Taylor, 55, of Boulder Creek,
allegedly handed a note to
the teller of the Wells
Fargo Bank stating that
they have his daughter
and he will never see her
again unless he pays them.
The teller gave the man
later identied as Taylor a
bag with $5,600 cash and
triggered the silent alarm.
When the robber left the bank, Redwood City
police were waiting for him outside.
Taylor gave his occupation as both
teacher and electrician and said he could not
nd a job and was living in his RV.
He remains in custody on $50,000 bail.

contest Tuesday to misdemeanor grand
theft.
Regina Nyanjia Lyimo, 37, opted to
settle the case just as an estimated six-day
jury trial was about to begin on two
counts. The terms of the negotiated deal
were not immediately available. She had
originally been charged with 14 felony
counts of embezzlement stemming from
her 10 months of employment at the
countys public hospital but they were
later consolidated into just the two.
Between November 2009 and September
2010, Lyimo received $14,573.65 for 265
hours worth of work she claimed.
However, prosecutors say she did not actu-
ally work any of those hours noted on the
time cards.
Lyimo, who is free from custody on
$50,000 bail, will be sentenced May 21.

WASHINGTON Unwilling to
spook the markets and divided
among themselves, House
Republicans backed away from a
battle over the governments debt
limit Tuesday and permitted
President Barack Obamas
Democratic allies to drive quick
passage of a measure extending
Treasurys borrowing authority
without any concessions from the
White House.
The 221-201 vote came hours
after Speaker John Boehner
announced that his fractured party
would relent.
Just 28 Republicans voted for the
measure, including Boehner and
his top lieutenants. But 193
Democrats more than compensated
for the low support among
Republicans.
Senate Democrats hoped to vote
on the legislation as early as
Wednesday and send it to Obama for
his signature.
The move was denounced by
many conservative groups but
came after most Republicans in the
House made clear they had no taste
for another high-stakes ght with
Obama over the nations debt ceil-
ing, which must be raised so the
government can borrow money to
pay all of its bills.
The bill would permit the
Treasury Department to borrow
normally for another 13 months,
putting off the chance of a debt cri-
sis well past the November elec-
tions and providing time for a
newly elected Congress to decide
how to handle the issue.
Just Monday, Republicans sug-
gested pairing the debt measure
with legislation to roll back a
recent cut in the ination adjust-
ment of pension benets for work-
ing age military retirees.
Democrats insisted on a debt meas-
ure completely clean of unrelated
legislation.
The full faith and credit (of the
United States) should be unques-
tioned and it is not negotiable,
said House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif.
The vote comes four months after
Washington defused a government
shutdown and debt crisis that
burned Republicans politically
an experience they did not want to
repeat.
The White House applauded
Tuesdays vote.
Tonights vote is a positive
step in moving away from the
political brinkmanship thats a
needless drag on our economy,
White House spokesman Jay
Carney said. He said Congress
should now take additional steps to
strengthen the economy and
pressed efforts by Obama and
Democrats to restore jobless bene-
ts to the long-term unemployed
and to increase the minimum wage.

AG urges restoring voting rights to ex-inmates
WASHINGTON Attorney General Eric Holder called on a
group of states Tuesday to restore voting rights to ex-felons,
part of a push to x what he sees as aws
in the criminal justice system that have a
disparate impact on racial minorities.
It is time to fundamentally rethink
laws that permanently disenfranchise peo-
ple who are no longer under federal or state
supervision, Holder said, targeting 11
states that he said continue to restrict vot-
ing rights for former inmates, even after
theyve nished their prison terms.
Across this country today, an estimat-
ed 5.8 million Americans 5.8 million of our fellow citi-
zens are prohibited from voting because of current or pre-
vious felony convictions, Holder told a symposium on
criminal justice at Georgetown University.
Now into his fth year as attorney general and hinting that
this year might be his last, Holder survived political contro-
versies that, early on, placed him on the defensive. Now, he
is doubling down on the kinds of issues that have long held
his interest during a career in law enforcement prison over-
crowding, overly harsh mandatory drug sentences and school
disciplinary policies that he says push kids into street crime.
Congress used to be the place that highlighted Holders
problems, including a plan to try terrorists in New York City
and the failed Justice Department investigation of gun smug-
gling in Arizona that ended in the death of a border patrol
agent.
Now, Holder is talking about partnering up with conserva-
tive lawmakers like Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who shares con-
cerns such as mandatory minimum prison sentences that can
put away low-level drug offenders for decades.
Drone use highlights questions for journalists
HARTFORD, Conn. As police responded to a deadly car
crash, they noticed an increasingly familiar sight: a remote-
controlled aircraft, equipped with a video camera, hovering
over the wreckage.
The Federal Aviation Administration has opened an inves-
tigation of the drone, which was used by an on-call employ-
ee for a Connecticut television station. The FAAis develop-
ing new rules as the technology makes drones far more versa-
tile, but for now operators can run afoul of regulations by
using them for commercial purposes, including journalism.
The case of the Hartford crash, in which the victims body
was left hanging out of a mangled car, highlights some of the
safety, privacy and ethical issues that journalists will wrestle
with as interest grows in using drones for newsgathering.
Here was a dead body still on the scene. We had covered it
the best we could, said Lt. Brian Foley, a Hartford police
spokesman, who said drones have been appearing more fre-
quently at crime scenes. You dont want the family to see
that.
Hartford ofcers questioned the man operating the drone on
Feb. 1 but did not ask him to take it down, Foley said. The
man identied himself as an employee of WFSB-TV but said
he was not working for them that day.

WASHINGTON Big retail stores,
hotels, restaurants and other rms with
lots of low-wage and part-time workers
are among the main beneciaries of
the Obama administrations latest
tweak to health care rules.
Companies with 100 or more work-
ers will be able to avoid the biggest of
two potential employer penalties in
the Affordable Care Act by offering
coverage to 70 percent of their full-
timers.
That target is considerably easier to
hit than the administrations previous
requirement of 95 percent, but the wig-
gle room is only good for next year.
It will be very helpful to employ-
ers, said Bill OMalley, a tax expert
with McGladrey, a consulting firm
focused on medium-size businesses.
This gives them a bit of a transition
period to begin expanding coverage
on a gradual basis. There would be
some cost savings to employers who
otherwise were nowhere near meeting
the standard for 2015.
It means that big companies, not
only medium-sized rms, can benet
from the new employer coverage rules
that the Treasury Department
announced Monday. Under those rules,
companies with 50 to 99 workers were
given an extra year, until 2016, to
comply with the health care laws
requirement to offer coverage.
I think its pretty significant
because the vast majority of the work-
force is in large firms, said Larry
Levitt, a health insurance expert with
the nonpartisan Kaiser Family
Foundation. It affects a much bigger
swath of the economy.
President Barack Obamas health
care law requires companies with 50 or
more employees working 30 or more
hours a week to offer them suitable
coverage or pay nes.
The so-called employer mandate was
written into the law as a guardrail to
discourage employers from shifting
workers into taxpayer-subsidized cov-
erage. Small businesses with fewer
than 50 workers are exempt. And more
than 90 percent of the larger rms
already offer health care.
But even if it directly impacts a rela-
tively small share of companies, the
mandate still represents a major new
government requirement on business-
es. At a time when the economy
remains weak, implementation has
been fraught with political overtones.
The requirement was originally sup-
posed to take effect in 2014, but last
summer the White House delayed it for
a year. Then came this weeks addition-
al delay for medium-size companies.
Treasury ofcials say the lower cov-
erage standard for bigger companies
should help employers struggling with
the health care laws denition of a
full-time worker as someone who aver-
ages 30 hours a week. Many rms have
traditionally set a 35-hour week as the
threshold for offering health care ben-
et s.
Wiggle room for big firms
under new coverage rule
I think its pretty signicant because
the vast majority of the workforce is in large
rms. ... It affects a much bigger swath of the economy.

WASHINGTON Adrugmaker work-
ing to develop a pill to boost sexual
desire in women says regulators are
demanding more studies on the experi-
mental drug.
Sprout Pharmaceuticals said Tuesday
that the Food and Drug Administration
wants to see more data on how the com-
panys drug, ibanserin, interacts with
other medications and how it affects
driving ability. Nearly 10 percent of
women studied in company trials report-
ed sleepiness while taking the daily pill.
The FDAs request represents another
hurdle in the pharmaceutical industrys
15-year search for a female equivalent to
Viagra.
But in a news release, Sprout
Pharmaceuticals President Cindy
Whitehead described the development as
a signicant step toward the approval
of ibanserin. The three studies
requested by the FDA are relatively
small, involving 25 to 50 patients
each. The company says it plans to
resubmit its drug application to FDAi n
the third quarter.
The company based in Raleigh, N.C.,
said in December that it had reached an
impasse with regulators after the
agency issued a second rejection letter
on the drug. The company led a formal
dispute over the agencys decision,
which prompted the FDAs latest request
for additional studies.
If approved, Sprouts daily pill would
be the rst drug for women who report a
lack of sexual desire, a market that drug-
makers have been trying to tap since the
blockbuster success of Viagra for men in
the late 1990s. While earlier drugs
worked on hormone levels, ibanserin
is the rst attempt to increase sexual
desire by acting on brain chemicals that
affect appetite and mood.
The race to develop a female libido
booster was once dominated by multina-
tional companies like Viagra-maker
Pzer Inc. and Procter & Gamble, but
today the space mainly consists of tiny
startups.

Revitalization of North B Street
Editor,
The revitalization of North B Street
can begin now with one simple act
(Abetter North B Street in the Feb.
10 edition of the Daily Journal). If
every business owner and/or property
owner would take the responsibility
of sweeping and picking up trash in
front of their own property or busi-
ness as part of their daily routine,
this would begin the revitalization of
North B Street. This should be con-
sidered part of doing business. It
should not be the citys responsibili-
t y.
Some may consider it beneath them
to pick up trash, but I do it all the

enhancement wont matter if people
continue to trash and litter. And,
please, while were at it, lets tackle

Food trucks
really a bad influence?
Editor,
I read Alex Wrights letter
Remove food trucks from near
schools (Feb. 2 edition of the
Daily Journal) and was stunned.
Is it really the food trucks fault that
children purchase unhealthy, junk
food? They will just nd another
place to go for their junk food if
these trucks were removed.
Great, the school and park depart-
ment are teaching about good nutri-
tion and serving healthy meals, but
isnt this the responsibility of par-
ents? These outside organizations are
here to help.
Parents need to talk and show their
children about diets. They need to
serve healthy meals and explain the
difference between good and bad.
Shouldnt this be an active home
front responsibility? Talk about the
meal and the healthy aspects.
Again I ask you and others, is this
really the fault of the food trucks?
How many times have you seen par-
ents buy junk food for their kids?

Letters to the editor
W
hen Sabrina Brennan ran
for a seat on the San
Mateo County Harbor
District Commission in 2012, she ran
on a platform of new ideas, trans-
parency and environmental steward-
ship. Hers was a refreshing voice,
tempered with a certain amount of
progressivism yet scal conser-
vatism.
During her campaign, Brennan
focused on water quality and smart
development that focused on environ-
mental quality at both the Pillar Point
Harbor in Princeton and the Oyster
Point Marina/Park in South San
Francisco. Her ideas were out-of-the-
box, creative and interesting.
As she enters her second full year
on the commission, we have seen a
large amount of focus on transparen-
cy, yet very little about the other
ideas on which she ran. That might be
because her relationship with other
members of the commission has been
contentious from the outset. And
thats too bad.
As with any local elected body of
representatives, there needs to be
majority consensus when making
decisions and that is often built
through teamwork, collaboration and
mutual respect. It is clear that none of
those attributes are present in the cur-
rent makeup of the Harbor District
commission. As Daily Journal
reporter Michelle Durand outlined in
her Feb. 8-9 story, Harbor District
caught in storm, months of inght-
ing and allegations have tainted the
commissions work and it seems to be
at a point where its possible it may
not recover. We know little about how
Brennans ideas may have come to
fruition because they simply havent
gotten a chance to be presented.
Whether that is Brennans fault or the
fault of other leaders in the district is
a matter of perspective.
There have been other instances in
which an outsider gains a seat on an
elected body and that person learns to
work within the system to make it
work and make their ideas clear. An
example is when Matt Grocott was
elected to the San Carlos City
Council. Ascal conservative,
Grocott often butted heads early on
with other members of the council on
a variety of issues, specically on the
citys practice of contracting out its
services. In time, the city revised its
practices and Grocott has grown into
a knowing elder statesman who is not
afraid of being contrarian and speak-
ing freely. He also knows when to
choose his battles case in point,
his recent decision to not ask for a
revote on the contentious Transit
Village development project. Another
example is Jack Hickeys position on
the Sequoia Healthcare District Board
of Directors. Hickey was elected on
the platform of dissolving the district
and has made that his sole focus. He
constantly asks for additional infor-
mation from the district and is obvi-
ously disliked by others in the district
because of his questions. That does
not, however, mean all his claims are
without merit. It is important to note
that Grocott initially ran on a plat-
form of nancial conservatism and
public openness while Hickey ran on
a platform of dissolving the district.
Neither have swayed from those goals
and both of their organizations have
seemingly been able to function.
Perhaps that speaks to the strength of
the organizations.
At a national level, some speak ill
of the tea party for its inability to
work within the system and for stick-
ing to its ideals over the established
process. Others may say that the sys-
tem itself is broken. And that may be
the case for our little Harbor District
commission. Perhaps it cannot with-
stand the weight of one of its mem-
bers constantly asking for informa-
tion and for drawing like-minded peo-
ple to its meetings.
There have been questions in the
past about the value of having a
Harbor District. Essentially, it is to
best represent the people it serves.
And if that primary goal is being mud-
dled by inghting, then there is a
larger question of its value to be con-
sidered. Once again, the question is
one to be considered by the San
Mateo County Board of Supervisors
is this another troubled district
that should be absorbed by a more
professional government structure?
The Harbor Districts shaky future Coming together?
T
here is nothing more destructive of physical
and mental health than the isolation of you
from me, of us from them. Phillip O.
Zimbardo, The Age of Indifference.
Friday is Valentines Day, a day devoted to romantic
love, but this is about another kind of togetherness. It
seems todays culture is in much more need of dealing with
the way so many people isolate themselves from others.
Too many shy away from open communication, interrelat-
edness, trust and intimacy. It seems that many people are
so uncomfortable with themselves that they erect a wall of
indifference that makes it easy to become supercial,
stilted and even callous.
Whenever we fail to express our feelings (joy, love,
hurt, frustration, etc.) in a sincere and inclusive way or
listen patiently to others concerns, we are separating our-
selves from one another. Those who dont try to listen to
others with an open mind
may be so obsessed with
themselves that anyone
elses thoughts dont even
register. Every time we lie
(to ourselves or to some-
one else) we are widening
the gap. Whenever we fail
to express something hon-
estly, when we use some-
one else for our own pur-
poses, or when we fail to
consider the effects of our
actions on others, we are
isolating ourselves. We are
withdrawing when we use
alcohol or other drugs, frantic activity (work or leisure) or
mindless entertainment as a way of escaping from reality.
The criminal, the drug addict, the depressed, the lonely,
the hermit are, of course, isolated, but consider other, less
obvious, examples.
There are those who go to great lengths to outdo every-
one, clinging to a feeling of superiority that keeps others
at a distance. This can range from the Olympic athlete, to
the movie actress, to the man who aunts his Rolex.
The person who is so obsessed with doing his own
thing on his own terms that he has no interest in connect-
ing with anyone else is often not bothered that he uses
others for his own purposes. Consider the corporate CEO
who will do anything to increase prots, including taking
advantage of his employees and skirting the law whenever
possible.
Reminds us of what Robert Reich wrote in the Jan. 26
San Francisco Chronicle: The wages of production work-
ers have been dropping for 30 years, adjusted for ina-
tion, and their economic security has disappeared.
Were all aware of politicians who are unduly tied to
their benefactors and have little interest in the lives and
needs of their constituents except to win their votes so
they can continue on their ego trip in Washington. Add
those in Congress who refuse to compromise. How about
those of the top 1 percent who cling to their wealth like a
security blanket for fear that they may have to share with
some undeserving wretch?
People who are so obsessed with such technological
phenomena as texting, Facebook and Twitter that they are
often unaware of their surroundings can become very iso-
lated. Some are so busy with their social media that they
rarely interact face to face with even their families. We
are a people who spend half our days gazing down at
screens and that, I think, has changed us. Weve become
unused to interacting with one another and were not very
good at it any more. We have, many of us, lost the knack
of treating people like people. Leonard Pitts Jr., Jan.
22 San Mateo County Times.
Our cultural stability is becoming more and more threat-
ened by those who are so self-centered, so hostile, so dis-
connected from others, so lacking in caring and compas-
sion that they have no qualms about taking advantage of
others for their own benet. From the street gangmember,
to the narcissistic politician, to the overcontrolling par-
ent, the results can be similar. Some say that this is
because of the fast pace of todays world, the state of the
economy, the pressures on people to produce, consume
and appear successful, and examples set by our out-of-con-
trol media. Whatever it is, this can have unexpected con-
sequences, as described by Matthew D. Lieberman in his
new book, Social. Although adults can survive with
unmet social needs for longer than with unmet physical
needs, our social bonds are linked to how long we live.
Having a poor social network is literally as bad for your
health as smoking two packs of cigarettes a day.
So lets dedicate Valentines Day this year to coming
together and communicating in an understanding and more
loving way. Lets value and promote our human potential
of generosity and caring instead of accepting selshness
and greed as a natural part of our modern society. Lets
remember the wisdom of Erich Fromm who wrote: The
deepest need of man is the need to overcome his separate-
ness, to leave the prison of his aloneness.

Big movers

NEW YORK Reassuring words
from the new head of the Federal
Reserve sent stocks soaring on
Tuesday and gave the market its
longest winning streak this year.
The Dow Jones industrial average
jumped nearly 200 points after Fed
Chair Janet Yellen said she would con-
tinue the central banks market-friend-
l y, low-interest rate policies.
Investors also welcomed news that
Congress appeared poised to raise the
U.S. borrowing limit without the
political drama that happened late last
year. That would avert the threat of a
disastrous default on the U.S. govern-
ments debt.
Many of the risks everyone had
their eyes on for 2014 are quickly
being cleared away, said Kristina
Hooper, head of U.S. investment
strategies for Allianz Global
Investors.
On Tuesday, the Dow Jones industri-
al average rose 192.98 points, or 1.2
percent, to 15,994.77. It was the
Dows third triple-digit advance in
four days.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 19.91 points, or 1.1 percent, to
1,819.75 and the Nasdaq composite
rose 42.87 points, or 1 percent, to
4,191.04. The Nasdaq is now in posi-
tive territory for 2014, while the S&P
500 and Dow are down 1.5 percent and
3.5 percent the year, respectively.
The Dow and the S&Phave risen four
straight days, their longest stretch of
gains this year.
Its a positive shift for the stock
market, which had its worst January
since 2010 as concerns about growth
in China and the U.S. sent investors
shifting from stocks to bonds. The
rst month was so rough, with fre-
quent triple-digit swoons in the Dow,
that it raised worries of a correction,
a decline of 10 percent or more from a
peak. That kind of slump hasnt hit
the stock market in more than two
years.
But this week, investors had two
worries resolved, analysts say.
Yellen, in her rst public comments
since taking over for Ben Bernanke at
the Fed last week, told Congress that
she expects a great deal of continu-
ity with her predecessor.
Yellen said she supports Bernankes
view that the economy is strengthen-
ing enough to withstand a pullback in
the Feds stimulus, but that interest
rates should stay low to encourage
more growth. Last week, the Fed
announced it would reduce its bond
purchases by $10 billion to $65 bil-
lion a month.
Shes being well received (by
investors), said Rob Stein, CEO of
Astor Investment Management in
Chicago.
Politicians also appear to have
reached an agreement over raising the
nations borrowing limit, also called
the debt ceiling.
House Speaker John Boehner said
Tuesday that he would allow a vote to
raise the borrowing limit without any
conditions attached. The announce-
ment came a few days after Treasury
Secretary Jack Lew said the federal
government would exhaust its ability
to borrow money by Feb. 27. Lew
urged Congress to pass a bill to raise
the limit as soon as possible.
The approaching deadline had been a
lingering source of worry for
investors, who still bear scars from
the last two debt debates.
The political tussle over raising the
borrowing limit in August 2011 even-
tually led Standard & Poors to down-
grade the United States credit rating,
which in turn caused the stock market
to go through three months of nause-
ating swings. During the October
2013 debate, the United States came
within days of running out of cash,
causing investors to ee some parts of
the U.S. Treasury market out of fear
that the federal government could not
pay its debts.
Stocks surge after Fed chief reassures
By Josh Boak and Martincrutsinger
WASHINGTON Janet Yellen pursued a
simple strategy Tuesday for handling a bat-
tery of lawmakers who came armed with
skepticism about the Federal Reserve.
Politely stand your ground. Be consis-
tent. Signal continuity at the top.
In her rst public words since becoming
Fed chair this month, Yellen struck a note of
unity with her predecessor, Ben Bernanke,
who stepped down last month. She
embraced his dual outlook on the economy:
Its strengthening enough for the Fed to
slightly pull back its stimulus yet still
needs the help of low interest rates.
When her questioners turned aggressive,
Yellen stoutly defended the Feds approach
to the 2008 nancial crisis and the reces-
sion. She rebuffed sug-
gestions that its stimulus
efforts were ill-conceived
or that stricter nancial
rules were squelching
growth.
At times, she basked in
good wishes from mem-
bers of the House
Financial Services
Committee, to which she
was delivering the Feds twice-a-year report
to Congress. Several female members
offered warm congratulations to the rst
woman to lead the Fed in its 100 years.
Ive understood more of what youve said
today than the last two (Fed leaders), said
Rep. Shelley Moore Capitol, R-W.Va.
Fed leaders can make unusual witnesses at
Washington hearings. Unlike many gov-
ernment ofcials, they strive to protect
their political independence by avoiding
confrontation. Yellen kept her guard up yet
aimed not to sound combative.
She dropped no hints of how her leader-
ship might depart from Bernankes. She
stressed that the Fed would decide whether to
continue paring its bond purchases and
eventually to raise short-term rates based
on how the economy improved. The Feds
bond purchases are intended to keep bor-
rowing rates low to stimulate growth.
At times, her descriptions of Fed policy
and strategy mirrored Bernankes nearly to
the word. Her key goal: Assure investors
that the Bernanke-Yellen transition would
be seamless.
It appeared to work. Yellens testimony
contributed to a powerful rally on Wall
Street. The Dow Jones industrial average
soared nearly 200 points.
She clearly has read the Fed playbook on
how to not say a lot, said Brian Gardner,
head of Washington research for Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, an investment bank.
Yellen, 67, offered unsolicited to stay
all day, noted the committee chairman, Jeb
Hensarling, R-Texas. That was a break from
recent practice. Bernanke and his predeces-
sor, Alan Greenspan, tended to sit for ques-
tions for only two or three hours.
Stay she did. Yellen testied for nearly
ve hours, beginning soon after 10 a.m.
and enduring well into midafternoon, minus
a lunch break and two brief pauses.
Yellen repeated the Feds expectation that
it will keep its key short-term rate near zero
well past the time the unemployment rate
falls below 6.5 percent, as long as ination
remains low.
Yellen rebuffs Fed critics and pleases investors
Janet Yellen

WASHINGTON A coalition of the
nations leading technology rms joined an
international protest Tuesday against the
U.S. governments spying programs, urg-
ing more limits on collections of
Americans electronic data and greater over-
sight and transparency about the secret
operations.
Top executives from Google, Microsoft,
Yahoo, Facebook, AOL, LinkedIn and
Twitter published a joint statement and sent
a letter Tuesday to President Barack Obama
and members of Congress. The coalition of
tech rms, known as Reform Government
Surveillance, urged changes that would
include a government agreement not to col-
lect bulk data from Internet communica-
tions.
Technology companies expressed outrage
last year after media accounts based on leaks
from former National Security Agency con-
tractor Edward Snowden disclosed that the
U.S. and the Britain intercept massive
amounts of electronic Web metadata abroad
from foreign computer users and sometimes
from Americans. Executives highlighted
their concerns during talks with administra-
tion ofcials about the spying programs,
but Obama did not commit to curtailing the
NSAs sweeps of data from the Internet.
The stance taken by the technology rms
provided a public boost to The Day We
Fight Back, a day of protest against the
governments spying operations organized
by civil liberties and privacy advocates.
Activists urged Americans to write and call
members of Congress in protest. By
midafternoon, The Day We Fight Back
claimed backers had sent 104,000 emails
and made nearly 50,000 calls to Congress.
Reports about government surveillance
have shown there is a real need for greater
disclosure and new limits on how govern-
ments collect information, said Facebook
CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a statement on the
Reform Government Surveillance website.
The U.S. government should take this
opportunity to lead this reform effort.
The civil liberties groups, which include
the ACLU and the Electronic Frontier
Foundation, are trying to mirror the success
that activists had in 2012, when a similar
protest effort helped derail two major anti-
piracy bills in Congress.
Technology firms urge changes to U.S. spying
PETALUMA A California slaughter-
house has voluntary halted operations after
recalling more than 8.7 million pounds of
beef products.
The recall began Jan. 13 and was expand-
ed Saturday to include just over a years
worth of meat products processed by
Rancho Feeding Corp. in Petaluma.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said
the facility processed diseased and
unhealthy animals without a full federal
inspection.
Co-owner Robert Singleton confirmed
Monday that the company had temporarily
ceased processing and was compiling a list
of affected companies. He declined further
comment.
The recalled products were processed from
Jan. 1, 2013, through Jan. 7, 2014, and
shipped to distribution centers and retail
stores in California, Florida, Illinois and
Texas. They include beef carcasses, oxtail,
liver, cheeks, tripe, tongue and veal bones.
California plant shuts down after beef recall
IRS loses appeal
on new rules for tax preparers
McLEAN, Va. The IRS on Tuesday lost
a federal appeal in a legal battle over its
effort to institute competency exams and
other new regulations for as many as
700,000 paid tax preparers.
Athree-judge panel of the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia unan-
imously upheld a lower courts ruling last
year that the IRS lacked authority to
impose the new rules without congres-
sional authorization.
The regulations were challenged by the
Institute for Justice in Arlington, Va., a
libertarian legal group that has filed a
variety of lawsuits challenging occupa-
tional licensing laws. It argued that the
proposed regulations for tax preparers
were onerous and would have put thou-
sands of mom-and-pop tax preparers out of
business.
Dan Alban, a lawyer for the institute
who argued the case in front of the D.C.
circuit, called the ruling a clear win both
for tax preparers and taxpayers and said it
could have broad implications for federal
agencies that attempt to issue regulations
without a mandate from Congress.
Congress never gave the IRS the power
to license tax preparers, and the IRS can-
not give itself that authority, Alban said.

With the top three nishers in 12 weight
classes at the Central Coast Section girls
wrestling championships advancing to the
state tournament, there were 36 spots up for
grabs.
The Peninsula Athletic League grabbed
nearly a third of them.
The PAL will send eight female wrestlers
to the state tournament after a stellar per-
formance at Independence High School last
Saturday. Included in those qualiers are four
CCS champions: Hiba Salem (101 pounds,
South City), Marcela Cordova (143, Half
Moon Bay), Jackie Achermann (150, South
City) and Alison Kretschmer (160, Terra
Nova).
The PAL (girls are) definitely on the
stronger side of CCS, said South City
coach Steve Matteucci. [The PAL] had a
pretty good showing.
Overall, Terra Nova was the highest n-
ishing PALteam, taking third place overall.
South City nished ninth as a team.
Salem, Achermann and Kretschmer were
especially spectacular, as that trio com-
bined to go 10-0 all without losing a
point.
I make a big deal about that (with my
wrestlers), Matteucci said. That almost
meant more to them than the medals around
their necks.
Achermann and Kretschmer took it even a
step further, winning all their matches by
pi n.
Salem won her rst two matches by pin
before shutting out her opponents in the
seminals and nals by a combined score of
17-0.

Aweek ago, the Burlingame girls soccer
team managed to salvage a 1-1 tie with
Hillsdale, in a game coach Philip DeRosa
said his team didnt play very well.
Fast forward to Tuesday and the Panthers
showed why they are still unbeaten in
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
play. Hosting a dangerous Menlo-Atherton
side, Burlingame scored a goal in each half
and the defense stymied the Bears in a 2-0
Panthers victory.
Weve been really trying to concentrate
on focus focus on every shot, focus on
every possession just total focus,
DeRosa said. In the rst game (against M-
A), we did not match up well with them. We
were on our heels most of the game.
[Tuesday], I told them you have to be rst to
the ball, win the 50-50 balls, just pressure,
pressure, pressure.
That pressure works wonders for
Burlingame (7-0-4 PAL Bay, 10-2-5 over-
all), which kept M-A (5-4-2, 9-3-4) mostly
at bay. The Bears did a good job of switch-
ing sides of the eld to nd space, but the
Panthers closed them down quickly, either
turning the Bears back toward their own
goal or preventing them from making the
pass that would result in an opportunity on
goal.
[Burlingame] played well. Theyre in
rst place for a reason, said M-Acoach Paul
Snow. [Tuesday], they deserved to win.
This league is so good.
Burlingame controlled possession and
kept the ball in the Bears half of the eld
for most of the opening 10 minutes of the
game, with the Panthers getting off a couple
of shots during that span.
Once the game settled down, M-A started
pushing forward and creating some opportu-
nities of its own.
But in the 28th minute, Burlingame strung
two passes together and it resulted in a 1-0
Panthers lead. Kelsey Andrews received a
pass just past mideld. With no one around
her, she turned and sent a perfect diagonal
pass toward the right sideline. Alexis
Panthers still atop table

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia Shaun
White lost to a kid they call the I-Pod, and
now, he may never hear the end of it.
How big of an Olympic shocker was this?
White, the best snowboarder of his era and
one of the best-known and best-marketed ath-
letes at the Sochi Games, didnt even win a
medal. He nished fourth.
The 27-year-old
American, who opted out
of the Olympic slopestyle
debut and put all his chips
in the halfpipe, where he
hoped to win a third
straight gold medal, got
knocked off by Iouri
Podladtchikov, the
Russian-born inventor of
the Yolo, the trick that
White could not master.
Im disappointed,
White said. I hate the fact I
nailed it in practice, but it
happens. Its hard to be
consistent.
The Japanese pair of 15-
year-old Ayumu Hirano and
18-year-old Taku Hiraoka
won silver and bronze, and
the Americans were shut out
on the halfpipe for the rst time since the
sport was introduced to the Olympics in 1998.
Podladtchikov, who now lives in and com-
petes for Switzerland, landed the trick success-
fully at an event in Europe last season, White
watched on his computer and knew what he
had to do next.
He landed it twice in qualifying events and
was listed as the heavy favorite to become the
New Olympic halfpipe champion crowned

NEW ORLEANS Six years ago this
week, LeBron James, Dirk Nowitzki and
several other NBA All-Stars left the com-
forts of a high-rise hotel in downtown New
Orleans for a short, sobering bus ride to a
devastated neighborhood a few miles away.
It was pretty sad. I think nobody really
knew how bad it still was, Nowitzki
recalled from the NBAs Day of Service
during 2008 All-Star weekend. If you only
stayed downtown (or) in the French Quarter,
everything looked great.
But once we drove out
there, 10 minutes outside
the city ... it was tough to
see what conditions peo-
ple still lived under.
The 6-foot-11 Dallas
Mavericks forward
remembered feeling small
in the face of such wide-
spread destruction in the
Holy Cross neighbor-
hood, situated along the Mississippi River
in New Orleans Ninth Ward. He gured the
few hours of painting he did was largely
symbolic, but hoped that the presence of
NBAstars in storm-ravaged neighborhoods,
and the encouragement they offered to
rebuilding residents, would make a lasting
difference in the citys recovery Hurricane
Katrina.
More than half a decade later, New Orleans
remains part of the NBA, defying many who
predicted storm-torn community would ulti-
mately lose its franchise and the All-Star
game is coming back this weekend.
Us painting a couple of houses didnt
really make the difference, but us being
there and lifting up some spirits is I think
what made the difference, Nowitzki said.
And the NBA, obviously, making that
commitment. That was one of the better
All-Stars eager
to see legacy
of 2008 event

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

OAKLAND The Golden State Warriors
will be without centers Andrew Bogut and
Jermaine ONeal when they host the Miami
Heat on Wednesday night.
With the All-Star break up next, Warriors
coach Mark Jackson said the team wanted to
give both big men more time to rest nagging
injuries. It will be the fourth straight game
Bogut has missed because of a left shoulder
injury, while ONeal will sit out for the sec-
ond consecutive game with inammation in
his surgically repaired right wrist.
The Warriors (31-21), who beat the two-
time defending champion Heat 123-114 in
Miami on Jan. 2, wont
play again until a visit to
Sacramento on Feb. 19.
Jackson said he hopes
both players can rest up
and take the break as an
opportunity to get closer
to 100 percent so we can
take off running in the
second half of the sea-
son.
David Lee participated in Tuesdays practice
and is expected to start at center. He missed
two games with a sprained left shoulder and
strained left hip before returning for Golden
States 123-80 win over Philadelphia on
Monday night.
Versatile reserve
Draymond Green will like-
ly start at power forward
again.
Bogut, who sat out 50 of
82 regular-season games
last year dealing with the
effects of left ankle sur-
gery, had not missed a
game because of an injury
all season until sitting out
the last three. That
prompted more questions over the centers
status before the win over Philadelphia, lead-
ing to a weird back-and-forth between
Jackson and Bogut in the media.
Jackson said in his pregame news confer-
ence that he wasnt sure when Bogut injured
himself, speculating it may have been sleep-
ing, and I say that in all seriousness. Bogut
later cleared things up, calling over a couple

bruised a bone in his shoulder, which began
nagging him after a win at Utah on Jan. 31.
Bogut also called Jacksons suggestion
that he woke up with the injury absolutely
ridiculous.
After the game, Jackson opened his news
conference by saying his comments were not
a dig at Bogut and he was merely trying to
explain the centers injury. Jackson reiterated
that Tuesday.
We dealt with it. Its over with, he said.
Theres no issue.

SAN JOSE Back with the San Jose
Earthquakes after their nearly monthlong stint
on the U.S. national team and training in Sao
Paulo, Clarence Goodson and Chris
Wondolowski believe Brazil will be ready for
the World Cup stage come June.
The U.S. held a training camp in Sao Paulo
for almost two weeks last month, giving the
Americans a feeling of already being acclimat-
ed to the culture and an idea of what to expect
during this summers tournament.
Goodson and Wondolowski hope they will
return to Brazil in June as part of the
Americans 23-man World Cup roster. They
were impressed with their setup in Brazil,
which has less than four months to complete
venues and nish all other details in some of
the 12 cities across the country set to host
games.
The Americans will be based out of Sao
Paulo FC.
It was very nice where we were, Goodson
said after Tuesdays Earthquakes training. I
know theres been a lot publicized about them
not being ready, but everything that we did
with the U.S., all the facilities we were at and
the hotels, they were all top notch and ready to
go. I didnt experience the other part. Certainly
everything with the U.S. was top class.
Earthquakes defender Victor Bernardez, a
member of the Honduran World Cup team, isnt
worried about Brazil meeting its deadline and
ultimately being prepared.
Bernardez and Honduras are set to face
Ecuador at Arena da Baixada one of the
delayed stadiums that could be dropped from
competition on June 30.
Its not a problem with that, Bernardez said
during an interview in Spanish. I think every-
thing will be ne. Well be there in June to
compete and I think theyll be ready. Were
condent it will be a beautiful World Cup.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia Carina
Vogt of Germany has never won a World Cup
event but she now owns womens ski jump-
ings rst-ever Olympic gold medal.
Sara Takanashi, the World Cup leader in
the sport, had been the heavy favorite head-
ing into the Sochi Games, but the 22-year-
old Vogt performed when it counted Tuesday,
scoring 247.4 points on the normal hill at
the Rus-Ski Gorki Jumping Center.
Daniela Iraschko-Stolz of Austria took
silver and Coline Mattell of France earned
bronze. Takanashi was left in a disappoint-
ing fourth.
Vogt, who has four second-place nishes
in World Cup events this year, had been
quiet in training runs, allowing Takanashi
and Iraschko-Stolz to take much of the hype
as they dueled for supremacy.
I cant nd the right words, Vogt said.
Im just speechless because training yes-
terday was not so good. Now Ive improved
today. Ive not won a World Cup till now.
Its unbelievable. I wouldnt have imagined
that one day before.
In 2011, the International Olympic
Committee agreed to allow the women to
compete at Sochi 90 years after men did
at the inaugural Winter Games in 1924.
Takansashi set the tone early, jumping
last in the warm-up and beating Iraschko-
Stolz by a meter.
When Takanashis placing lit up the
scoreboard, a group of Japanse fans blew
kazoo-like devices and waved a large ag-
pole containing a carp kite a sh that the
Japanese consider good luck, followed by
the Japanese ag, and then a banner with
Takanashis picture on it.
The carp didnt bring her much luck.
Takanashi nished the rst round in third
place, meaning she would jump third-last in
the nal round, a place she was not used to
considering she has led and won so many
World Cups this year.
Iraschko-Stolz took the lead with three
jumpers to go, leaving Vogt needing a good
jump to overtake her. It wasnt as good as
the Austrians nal jump, but enough to
give the German a six-point edge.
Japan had been counting on Takanashi to
end a gold medal drought. The countrys last
gold came at the 2006 Turin Games when
Shizuka Arakawa won the ladies singles in
gure skating.
I couldnt jump the way I wanted to on
both attempts. Takanashi said. I came
here wanting to do my best. Im incredibly
disappointed.
Sarah Hendrickson, the 19-year-old
defending world champion from Park City,
Utah, nished 21st of 30 starters, clearly
still affected by right knee surgery she
underwent in August. Although she showed
improved form Tuesday, she plans to take
the rest of the season off.
Two other Americans from Park City com-
peted Jessica Jerome was 10th and former
world champion Lindsey Van 15th.
Before the nal, Jeromes father Peter held
a news conference with other American fam-
ilies who had led the ght to get womens
jumping into the Games.
No one handed this to them, he said.
Being good at this didnt get them to where
they are tonight. They were jumping as
much as they could because they loved the
sport and there was no reward other than the
personal satisfaction of competing with
their peers, challenging themselves and
doing well.
Vogt wins 1st gold medal in womens ski jump
By Tim Reynolds
KRASNAYAPOLYANA, Russia Finally,
Olympic gold for Germanys Natalie
Geisenberger.
Finally, Olympic anything for Erin
Hamlin and the United States.
Leaving no doubt that she absolutely rules
her sport, Geisenberger won the womens
luge gold medal at the Sochi Games on
Tuesday posting the second-largest victo-
ry margin in Olympic history. Her nal time
was 3 minutes, 19.768 seconds, 1.139 sec-
onds better than German teammate Tatjana
Huefner, the 2010 gold medalist.
And Hamlin nished third, grabbing the
rst medal for any American singles luge
athlete at the Olympics, 50 years after luge
rst appeared at the games. So in the sports
golden anniversary as part of the Olympics,
Hamlin came up with bronze, a feat that will
surely go down as perhaps the greatest
moment in USALuge history.
U.S. individual sliders had been fourth on
three occasions at the Olympics, but never
any better. So every four years, the same
question gets asked when will an
American break through?
Hamlin, a native of Remsen, N.Y., nally
put an end to that.
Hamlin nished 0.236 seconds behind
Huefner in the race for silver, but held off
Canadas Alex Gough by 0.433 seconds for
the nal spot on the ower stand. It was the
fth Olympic medal for USA Luge, the rst
four two silvers and two bronzes com-
ing in doubles races.
When Hamlin crossed the line, that medal
nally clinched, she threw her arms sky-
ward, then covered her face briey with her
hands. U.S. coach Mark Grimmette a dou-
bles medalist for the Americans raced over
to offer congratulations, and mens slider
Chris Mazdzer reached down from the
bleachers to hand Hamlin the U.S. ag.
Its amazing, Hamlin said. Its surreal,
really.
Then the roars kept coming, for the
Germans.
Maybe it was tting that Geisenberger,
Huefner and Hamlin were the three who found
their way to the top. Every single time since
2007, in the years nal race either the
world championships or the Olympics
one of those three women were crowned
champion. And this marked the rst time in
Olympic womens luge history that three
world champions stood side by side on the
medal podium.
But theres no doubt which one stands
tallest these days, both literally and gura-
tively.
Geisenberger turned 26 last week, already
was a world champion and World Cup cham-
pion, and now has the Olympic title after
taking the bronze in Vancouver four years
ago. Much like Felix Loch, the mens two-
time Olympic champion and fellow protege
of all-time great Georg Hackl, her run of
dominance might just be getting started.
How dominant was Geisenberger at the
Sochi Olympics? Consider: The victory
margins posted by the last four Olympic
womens winners, combined, was 0.949 sec-
onds. Geisenbergers lead after three runs
this time was 1.049 seconds. And she didnt
take her foot off the gas for the nal run,
either.
In other words, there was never a doubt.
Kate Hansen of La Canada, Calif., was
10th for the U.S., and Summer Britcher of
Glen Rock, Pa., placed 15th. They were both
making their Olympic debuts.
U.S. wins first singles luge medal, German dominates
Womens slopestyle skiing
Dara Howell won gold with a score of
94.20, trouncing the rest of the eld, and
Kim Lamarre earned bronze to give the
Canadians seven medals in four days of
snowboarding and freestyle skiing, includ-
ing three events in which they took two of
the top three spots. Were over the moon
right now, said Peter Judge, CEO of the
Canadian Freestyle Skiing Association.
Devin Logan of the United States took sil-
ver. Canadas big day was tempered by team-
mate Yuki Tsubotas crash on the slushy
snow. She was carried off the mountain on a
stretcher with a possible fractured jaw.
Speedskating
Lee Sang-hwa won the womens 500
meters and set an Olympic record of 37.28
seconds in her second race, beating the
mark of 37.30 set by Catriona Le May Doan
at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. Her
combined time of 1 minute, 14.70 seconds
also was an Olympic record, beating Le May
Doans mark of 1:14.75. Olga Fatkulina of
Russia won the silver, and Margot Boer of
the Netherlands got the bronze.
Cross country skiing
Hattestad took the early lead, avoided the
crash behind him and then held off Teodor
Peterson of Sweden for the gold. Peterson
finished 1.2 seconds behind for silver.
Vesna Fabjan of Slovenia won the bronze in
the womens sprint. Besides Randall, Marit
Bjoergen of Norway was also eliminated
early.
Womens biathlon
Darya Domracheva of Belarus led for most
of the womens 10-kilometer pursuit race,
missing only the last target before nish-
ing in 29 minutes, 30.7 seconds. Tora
Berger of Norway took silver, and Teja
Gregorin of Slovenia claimed the bronze.
Mens curling
SOCHI, Russia Sweden secured a third
straight win in mens Olympic curling by
beating Canada 7-6 on Tuesday, intensify-
ing the early-tournament woes of the gold-
medal favorites.
Canada has won the last two Olympic
titles but now has lost back-to-back games
and was sloppy in its only win so far
against tournament outsider Germany on
Monday.

proud of what we offer.
seventh person to win three straight
gold medals in an individual event at
the Winter Games.
When White pulled out of the
Olympics inaugural slopestyle
contest, saying he didnt want to
risk injury for his historic quest on
the halfpipe, the stakes were set.
It unraveled early.
On Whites rst of two runs in the
nal, his attempt at the Yolo ended
with a fall that left him sliding down
the halfpipe on his backside. Even
though his chance at putting up a
winning score was over, he tried to
nish the run with another of his
double-cork tricks. White wasnt
close his board slammed on the
lip of the pipe, followed by an awk-
ward and painful fall onto his rear.
I-Pod had scored an 86.5 in his
rst run clearly in medal con-
tention and then won it on his
second attempt. The Yolo includes a
total of 1440 degrees of spin two
head-over-heels ips and two 360-
degree turns. Four years ago, it was
unthinkable, but not anymore. He
landed it and even though he only
threw ve tricks, when most riders
were trying six in a supersized,
super-slushy halfpipe, the judges
liked what they saw.
As did I-Pod, who spiked his
snowboard into the ground like a
football.
Hes incredible, American
Danny Davis, the 10th-place nish-
er, said of Podladtchikov. That run
on that halfpipe. Wow.
It put huge pressure on White,
whose nal runs at the last two
Olympics have been nothing more
than pressure-free victory rides.
He didnt fall, but rather skittered
down the pipe on his Yolo landing.
The landing on his last double cork
was less than perfect, too his
knees buckled and nearly touched
the snow. White raised one nger in
the air and raised his hands in victo-
ry. Yes, sometimes judges reward
athletes for what theyve done, not
what they just did.

didnt pin two of the girls, but [those oppo-
nents] didnt do anything, Matteucci said.
In the nals, the only thing the girl was
trying to do was not get pinned. She just
balled up and didnt do anything.
Achermann and Kretschmer did not have
such problems. In fact, one would be hard-
pressed to nd two more dominant perform-
ances. In her three matches, Achermann
spent a total time of two minutes and 57 sec-
onds actually wrestling as none of those
matches got out of the first round. She
pinned her rst opponent in 18 seconds, her
second opponent in 1:31 of the rst round
and stuck her opponent in the nals in a
time of 1:08.
[Achermann] is definitely on a roll,
Matteucci said. Shes won her last six or
seven matches by pin.
Kretschmer was equally impressive, need-
ing just three minutes and 45 seconds to win
her three matches. Her longest match was in
the quarternals, where she needed 33 sec-
onds into the second round to pin her oppo-
nent. She followed that with an 18-second
pin in the seminals and needed just 54 sec-
onds to capture the CCS title.
Cordova also cruised through her rst two
matches, earning a third-round pin in the
quarternals and a second-round stick in the
seminals. In the championship match, she
was pushed, but pulled out a 12-10 win to
capture the 143-pound title.
The other PAL wrestlers who qualied for
the state tournament are: Chelsea Wilson
(Menlo-Atherton, third place, 101 pounds),
Mallory Moore (Terra Nova, second place,
121), Elisa Han (Aragon, third place, 170)
and Sydnie Thiesen (Terra Nova, second
place, 189).
Other strong performances included a
fourth-place finish for Renata Lopez of
Hillsdale at 137 and Terra Novas Teagan
Allen, who was fth at 111.
And Matteucci doesnt believe his
wrestlers will not just be happy to be com-
peting in the state tournament, which will
be held in Bakerseld Feb. 27 and 28.
Im very optimistic that both (Salem and
Achermann) can get a medal (at state),
Matteucci said.

With Bob Costas sidelined with an infection
that has reddened both his eyes and blurred his
vision, Today show anchor Matt Lauer lled
in Tuesday on NBCs prime-time Olympics
coverage.
Lauer, opening the broadcast, said Costas
looked a little like a loser in a prize ght.
Costas has been wearing glasses since the start
of the Sochi Olympics because of an infection
in his left eye, and on Monday it spread to his
other eye. It quickly became the topic of con-
versation on social media and sports talk
radio.
Costas said he simply couldnt do the job
because his eyes had become blurry, watery and
sensitive to light. Im walking around, I
might as well be playing Marco Polo, he
said in a telephone call to the Today show
Tuesday. I have no idea where I am.
He said its a viral infection that has to run its
course, and he hopes things improve enough
in the next few days so he can return to the
broadcast.
If it was just discomfort, Id be there, he
said.
No one besides Costas has anchored a prime-
time summer or winter Olympic broadcast in
the U.S. since 1998, when CBS had the rights
to broadcast the games.
Not only does he want to get better, but
Costas joked in a statement from NBC that
the last thing I want is to go through the rest
of my life owing Matt Lauer a bunch of favors.
Lauer said he was happy to keep Costas seat
warm.
Although I might Purell it before I sit in it,
he said.
Bob Costas replaced by
Lauer as Olympic anchor

More than eight years after Katrina struck
in August 2005, pockets of New Orleans are
still rebuilding, but many areas of the city
are more vibrant than even before the storm.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimated that, as of
July 2012, the population of New Orleans
proper was just surpassing 80 percent of its
pre-Katrina population of about 484,000.
In the past few years, New Orleans has
hosted college footballs 2012 BCS champi-
onship game, the 2012 NCAAmens basket-
ball Final Four and the 2013 Super Bowl.
The arena that hosted the citys rst NBA
All-Star game six years ago has since under-
gone signicant upgrades. The rst phase of
what will be a two-part renovation costing
about $50 million is done. The stadium also
has a new name the Smoothie King Center
thanks to a 10-year sponsorship deal
with a growing company that chose to main-
tain its headquarters in New Orleans after
irting with the idea of moving to Atlanta or
Dallas.
Only a handful of 2014 All-Stars were part
of the 2008 festivities in the Big Easy.
Along with Nowitzki and James, they
include Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, Chris
Paul, Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony.
James helped sponsor the resurfacing of a
basketball court at a recreational center in
the flood-damaged St. Bernard neighbor-
hood.
It was perfect timing, James said of the
NBAs decision to bring the All-Star game to
New Orleans in 2008, even though some
people, including former NBA Players
Association head Billy Hunter, questioned
whether New Orleans could handle the event
or if players would be safe.
I was happy to be part of it, James added.
For us to be there is good.
Wade said he was able to help three dis-
placed families get into permanent homes
six years ago.
I dont remember the game, but I remem-
ber the city, Wade said. The NBA really
made it about the city of New Orleans.
Howard won the 08 slam dunk contest,
wearing a red Superman cape.
Prieto, with a step on her defender, ran onto
the ball and broke in on goal. Astride into
the M-Apenalty box, she unleashed a right-
footed shot that found the upper-left corner
of the net.
Despite being down 1-0 at halftime, Snow
liked his teams chances.
Thats what I said at halftime. Theyre
right in this game, down 1-nothing, Snow
said.
The Bears came out ying to start the sec-
ond half, putting tremendous pressure on
the Burlingame defense. M-A earned a pair
of free kicks in the rst few minutes, includ-
ing a golden opportunity with a set piece 19
yards from the Panthers goal. The shot,
however, was chipped high and wide of the
frame.
We had a good opportunity there, Snow
said. That (miss) took the wind out of our
sails a little bit.
In the 51st minute, the Panthers ran their
counter attack to perfection, doubling their
lead. Center mideld Rachel Byrd triggered
the play by sending a perfect diagonal ball
toward the right corner. Alysse LaMond
chased it down and one-timed a perfect cross
to the front of the M-A goal, where Anika
Rianzares was waiting. She calmly one-
timed her shot into the roof of the net to put
the Panthers up 2-0.
Their counter worked well both times,
Snow said.
It was Rianzares first goal for the
Panthers in her three years on the varsity
squad.
M-A continued to apply pressure, but the
Burlingame defensive line of Guilia
Flygare, Malia Smith, Greer Chrisman and
Katie Kissner, along with goalkeeper Nina
Chikarov, who made ve saves, kept the
Bears off the scoreboard.
This was a very big win, DeRosa said.
[We] played well [Tuesday]. When these

NEWYORK Reputed mobsters in New
York City and Italy joined forces in a failed
conspiracy to smuggle large amounts of
heroin and cocaine, with one suspect sug-
gesting that the drugs could be concealed in
frozen sh bound for an Italian port, author-
ities said Tuesday.
Law enforcement ofcials on both sides
of the Atlantic Ocean said the scheme
involved Italys powerful ndrangheta
organized crime syndicate and New Yorks
Gambino organized crime family. A sting
operation resulted in 24 arrests 17 in
Italy and seven in New York.
The investigation targeted a new cocaine
trafcking route from South America to the
southern Italian port of Gioia Tauro, Italian
anti-Maa police said. In exchange, the
Italians were to provide heroin to the
American market.
Ofcials, using wiretaps and an undercov-
er agent who inltrated the Brooklyn-based
mob, said they thwarted the delivery to Italy
of about 500 kilograms of pure cocaine that
was to have been hidden in shipments of
canned coconuts, pineapples and frozen sh
being shipped from Guyana to Gioia Tauro.
The plot unfolded in 2012, when one of
the ndrangheta suspects visited his son-in-
law, Franco Lupoi, in Brooklyn. The father-
in-law claimed he knew a corrupt customs
agent in Italy who would guarantee the safe
arrival of container ships containing con-
traband, court papers led in New York said.
In a recorded meeting with the undercover
agent, Lupoi later explained that he could
have cocaine packed into sh and frozen,
saying it takes a day to defrost and then it
takes a day to take out, the court papers
said.
The papers also accuse Lupoi of traveling
to Italy, where he sold the undercover more
than 1 kilogram of heroin that he believed
the undercover planned to smuggle back to
the United States for resale, the papers said.

WASHINGTON Juggling a pair of
tenuous diplomatic efforts, President
Barack Obama on Tuesday vowed to
come down like a ton of bricks on
businesses that violate Iranian sanc-
tions while nuclear negotiations are
underway. He also conceded enor-
mous frustration with stalled Syrian
peace talks and offered little hope of
ending the conict soon.
Obama spoke during a joint White
House news conference with French
President Francois Hollande, a key
partner on both Syria and Iran. The
leaders have aimed to project a united
front on the two
matters, but a trip to
Tehran last week by
French executives
has irked U.S. of-
cials who are seek-
ing to tamp down
the notion that a
temporary easing of
sanctions opened
Iran up for busi-
ness.
In a blistering warning, Obama said
companies exploring economic
opportunities in Iran do so at their
own peril right now because we will
come down on them like a ton of
bricks.
Hollande sought
to distance himself
from the execu-
tives trip, saying
through a translator
that the French
business communi-
ty is very much
aware of this situa-
tion.
Obama welcomed
Hollande to the
White House Tuesday morning for a
lavish state visit, an honor typically
bestowed on Americas closest allies.
However, the visit has been overshad-
owed somewhat by Hollandes recent
romantic woes.

All wine pairs well with romance.
But some bottles really wear their
hearts on their labels.
Whether youre interested in the
Birds & bees sweet red wine or want to
cut straight to the chase with some
Simply Naked chardonnay, bottles
abound with labels that range from
sweet to saucy.
Feeling true to the one you love?
Perhaps Monogamy wine is what you
seek. Or maybe the mood calls for
Menage a Trois, a popular line of
California wines from Trinchero
Family Estates. (For the record, the
name stems from the fact that the ag-
ship wine, a red blend, is a mix of zin-
fandel, merlot and cabernet sauvi-
gnon.)
For a wine that makes a definite
statement about your intentions, the
Taken Wine Co. has one wine called
Taken and another called Complicated.
Athird, Available, is planned.
The company was founded by Carlo
Trinchero and Josh Phelps, childhood
friends who grew up in the Napa Valley
and both have family in the wine busi-
ness. The inspiration for the company
name, launched in 2010, was when
they joked that all the names they
wanted were, literally, taken.
But after a while they began to
explore the idea of marketing their
wines with a wink to modern romance.
The result was wines that take their
names from the frequently used social
media statuses. Taken is a red wine, a
blend of cabernet sauvignon and mer-
lot; Complicated is available in a red
blend and a chardonnay. Available will
also be made in multiple varietals.
Wine has a history of romance, and
Taken Wine Company is putting a new
millennial spin on it, says Phelps.
Taken is the perfect Valentines gift to
let someone know how you feel or
even to propose with.
Speaking of the married life,
Monogamy wine comes from
California-based Canopy Management
and is available as a cabernet sauvi-
gnon or chardonnay. The company
first came out with a wine called
PromisQous, a blend of cabernet sauvi-
gnon, merlot, zinfandel and petite
syrah. At tastings, people would ask,
Heres PromisQous. What about
Monogamy? says Mary Ann Vangrin,
company spokeswoman.
In other words, being PromisQous
led to Monogamy.
At one tasting recently, we heard a
story about a guy who had proposed to
his girlfriend with a bottle of
Monogamy on which he had written
Will you marry me? (She said yes.)
Clearly, this wouldnt have worked out
so well had it been a bottle of
PromisQous, notes Vangrin.
Wines with a loving message on the
bottle arent limited to U.S. producers.
From Argentina theres Bodega
Renacers Enamore, which means in
love in Spanish. Its also a play on
the word Amarone, which refers to
an Italian style of wine made with par-
tially dried grapes. Enamore is a joint
production between Bodega Renacer in
the Mendoza region of Argentina and
Allegrini, a well-known producer of
Italian Amarone. The Enamore version
of the wine is made of malbec, syrah,
bonarda and cabernet franc grapes dried
and made in the Amarone style.
And from Sicily theres Lamuri Nero
dAvola from the producer Tasca
DAmerita. Lamuri means love in the
Sicilian dialect and this red wine is
made entirely from nero dAvola
grapes grown on the island.

Grill the corn both in the husk and out of the husk, then slice the kernels off the cobs and
make them into a decadently delicious salad.
By Elizabeth Karmel
The rst time I saw Mexican street corn
was just after I had moved to Chicago. I was
meandering down Wells Street, which was
closed for a summer art fair. Out of the corner
of my eye, I saw a guy with a tower of grilled
corn. I walked over to get a better look and
watched as he took a piece of the corn off the
grill, rolled back the husk and quickly tied it
off, forming a handle from the husks.
His movements were fluid as he next
dipped the exposed corn into butter, then
slathered it with mayo, rolled it in cheese,
sprinkled it with ground chilies and squirted
it with lime juice. I was mesmerized. I could-
nt wait to take that rst bite. It ended up
being a pivotal food experience for me. Ive
been making it at home ever since.
When corn is fresh from the eld, I soak it
and grill it right in the husk. The delicate
sweet corn takes only a few minutes to cook
and I love the slight earthiness that the corn
silk and husk infuse into the kernels. When
the corn isnt as fresh and is a little starchi-
er, I like to brush it with olive oil and place
the corn with the exposed kernels directly
on the cooking grates to char and blister.
This summer, I reached a new level with
my Mexican street corn experiments. And
like many great breakthroughs, I created the
recipe out of necessity.
I wanted to serve the corn for a tasting and
competition event, but I was serving 800
people and realized there was no way to grill
and serve that many people quickly and deli-
ciously! So I decided to turn the street corn
into a salad. That way, I could still serve the
avors of my favorite summer corn, but I
could make the dish in advance.
Because I was going to be serving it cool,
I decided to amp up the avors in my normal
recipe with a little cilantro and garlic to add
brightness, and rich smoky bacon to com-
plement the charred corn.
For the event, I mixed all the ingredients
together and served it as a side dish to my
smoked and grilled beef tenderloin. It actu-
ally worked out even better than if I had
made the original corn on the cob its cer-
tainly easier to eat! And, as good as my beef
was, I know that it was the grilled Mexican
street corn salad that scored me the top prize
that night.
In this recipe, I grill the corn both in the
husk and out of the husk, then slice the ker-
nels off the cobs and make them into a deca-
dently delicious salad. You can serve the
salad with grilled beef tenderloin as I did,
but its versatile enough to go with your
favorite grilled protein salmon, beer-can
chicken, chicken thighs or backyard ribs.

Maligned and misunderstood, anchovies have long been
those stinky little sh that sneak into Caesar salad or top
some adventurous persons pizza.
My father would eat them out of a can, says New Orleans
restaurateur and TVchef John Besh. If Dad was going hunt-
ing, hed grab a can of smoked oysters or anchovies and
crackers and that would be his lunch.
But today, chefs like Besh have moved anchovies to the
top of the food chain, showcasing them as elegant bar
snacks, sophisticated bruschetta or the foundation for pasta
dishes and stews.
They make friends and enemies quickly, says Seamus
Mullen, chef-owner of Tertulia in New York City. A bad
anchovy is not a good thing. Its a question of making sure
you get the right ones.
Getting the right anchovies has become much easier in
recent years. The mushy, salty tinned anchovies eaten by
Beshs father are still out there. But more and more, the
shelves of gourmet stores and upscale supermarkets offer
high-quality anchovies preserved in olive oil, pickled in
vinegar or sometimes even fresh.
More menus feature items such as boquerones, white
anchovies, often dressed with vinegar. Fresh anchovies
might be cooked over a wood re or dressed with bread-
crumbs and garlic. Sometimes, anchovies go undercover.
Besh uses them as what he calls natures MSG, melting
them into beef daube and lamb stew to intensify the savory
avors.
Nick Stefanelli, executive chef at Bibiana Osteria-
Enoteca in Washington, D.C., uses them to make an ancient
Roman sh sauce called garum.
One of the most classic pasta dishes is spaghetti with
sh sauce, garlic and chilies, says Stefanelli, who includes
the dish on his tasting menus. The product itself really
takes it where it needs to be... Its so simple and beautiful.
Anchovies have been a staple of Italian, Spanish and
Provencal French cooking for centuries. French and Italian
country stews use them to provide umami, a sense of meati-
ness and depth. They are made into marinades and tape-
nades, tossed into pasta and mixed with garlic, breadcrumbs
and parsley to stuff vegetables, such as peppers and egg-
plant. In Spain, they are among the nest tapas.
In Spain, you can go into any tapas bar and youll see
anchovies all over the menu, chef-entrepreneur Jose
Andres said via email from Spain. What we are seeing right
now in the U.S. is a food revolution where people want to
know more about food and so as that is happening people
are becoming more and more open to new ingredients and
experiences.
Not that youll see anchovies in the fast food lane any
time soon. But as more and better quality anchovies become
available, theyre likely to play a bigger role on supermar-
ket shelves and upscale menus. But in the wider world, they
may hang out on pizza and Caesar salad a bit longer. Which
is not such a bad thing.
The Caesar salad with anchovies, when done well,
Mullen says, is pretty darn good.
So here are some tips for embracing anchovies in your
own cooking:
AIM HIGH
Go for the ones in a jar, says Mullen. The people pro-
ducing them are proud of them. Mullen suggests topping a
buttered rye cracker with an anchovy and a drizzle of vine-

dry. Brush the 3 ears of husked corn on all
sides with the olive oil. Leave the other ears
of corn in their husks.
Place all of the corn on the cooking grate.
Grill, turning occasionally, until the husked
corn is well-browned and charred in places,
about 10 minutes. The other ears of corn
will steam in their husks, but the husks
themselves will be dried out and charred in
places.
Remove all of the corn from the grill and
set aside until cool and easily handled, about
5 minutes. Once cool enough to handle,
remove the husks and silk from the 3 ears
that were grilled with them on.
One at a time, stand each ear on its wide
end and use a serrated knife to saw down the
length of the cob to remove the kernels.
Discard the cobs, then transfer the kernels
to a large bowl. Mix in the melted butter,
then set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together the may-
onnaise, cilantro, lime zest and juice, gar-
lic, chili powder and a pinch of salt. Stir in
both cheeses and most of the bacon, reserv-
ing a little for garnish. Add the dressing to
the buttered corn kernels and mix well. Taste
and season with salt and pepper. Garnish
with grated cheese, cilantro and the reserved
bacon. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

NEW YORK Kraft is
removing articial preserva-
tives from its most popular
Singles cheese product vari-
ety, in the latest sign that
companies are tweaking
recipes as food labels come
under greater scrutiny.
The change affects the com-
panys Kraft Singles in the full-
fat American and White American varieties,
which Kraft says account for the majority of
the brands sales. Sorbic acid is being
replaced by natamycin, which Kraft says is a
natural mold inhibitor.
Krafts decision comes as a growing num-
ber of Americans pay closer attention to
what they eat and try to stick to foods they
feel are natural. That has prompted a number
of food makers to change their recipes.
Last week, for instance, Subway
said it was removing a chemical
from its bread after a popular food
blogger named Vani Hari started a
petition noting the ingredient is
also used in yoga mats.
The ingredient, azodicar-
bonamide, is an approved food addi-
tive and can be found in a wide vari-
ety of products, including those sold by
McDonalds and Starbucks. But Hari said she
targeted Subway because of its healthy food
image.
Even though such ingredients are
approved for use by the Food and Drug
Administration, being able to tout a product
as being free of them can be a selling point.
Kraft Singles to lose all

temper the anchovy and gives it luxurious
mouth feel, he says.
GO BASIC
Cut up a head of cauliower and boil some
pasta, says Stefanelli. When the pasta is
almost cooked, throw the cauliower into
the water. Heat olive oil, garlic, anchovies,
raisins and pine nuts in a skillet. Drain the
pasta and cauliflower and toss with the
anchovy sauce. Boom, 10 minutes you
have dinner, he says.
STUFF IT
Stuff zucchini owers with mozzarella and
anchovies, suggests Italian cookbook
writer Michele Scicolone. Dip them in a
light batter and fry until the cheese melts
and the outside is crisp.
GET FRUIT
Anchovies pair really well with fruit like
a nectarines or clementine, Andres says.
The fruit complements the sweetness and
saltiness of the anchovy. Cut the fruit into
small pieces and top with a dressing or
anchovies and sherry vinegar.

Festival lets you eat,
drink, floss with bacon
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Get ready for
bacon like youve never eaten, drunk or
worn it before.
Bacon milkshakes. Chocolate-covered
bacon shaped like roses. Bacon-flavored
toothpaste, dental oss and lip balm. Bacon
bourbon, margaritas, beer and vodka. Bacon
ice cream sundaes. A BLT sandwich with a
full pound of bacon.
Theyre all on the menu this week as one
Atlantic City casino stretches the bounds of
good taste and cardiovascular health with
Bacon Week. The festival at the Tropicana
Casino and Resort gives new meaning to the
term pigging out.
The idea of a bacon festival is not as far-
fetched as it might sound. Americans eat
about 1.5 billion pounds of bacon a year,
according to the National Pork Board. And
the website bacontoday.com counted nearly
30 bacon festivals around the country from
late April through December 2013, many of
whose tickets sold out in minutes.
Bacon is like heaven, said Nadina
Fornia, of Egg Harbor Township. If youre
going to die, die with bacon on your lips
and a BLTin each hand.
She was drawn to the casino Monday by
the promise of bacon in far-out forms,
including milkshakes and beer (not in the
same glass, thankfully.) She also heard
about the bacon-infused vodka.
That is my quest today, she said.
Wozniak had an active role in the citys
ban of plastic bags and spoke out against
the impact of high-speed rail and a proposed
1,436-acre development at the Cargill salt
ponds in Redwood City, said former council-
man Dave Warden, now a member of the
Mid-Peninsula Water District Board.
As one of Belmonts strongest environ-
mental and neighborhood activists, the city
may be hard-pressed to nd a comparable
replacement, Warden said.
Im obviously very upset and disap-
pointed and she has extremely deep roots in
Belmont. Shes been involved in Belmont
for many many years, shes the only woman
on the council, shes a very strong neigh-
borhood advocate and I think its a tremen-
dous loss to the city, Warden said.
Wozniak took her role seriously so this
was probably not something she took
l i ght l y, Councilman David Braunstein
said. He hopes she knew her fellow coun-
cilmembers would have stepped up and
covered for some of her public council
duties if she needed more help.
I dont know whats going on and I wont
pry, but I will reach out to her, Braunstein
said. I hope that everything is OK for her
and her family and obviously this is some-
thing she felt she had to do.
With both Coralin Feierbach and Wozniak
off the council, Warden says hes concerned
about a potential imbalance on the council.
I think you need a mix of people, I just
do. I think she represented a very good seg-
ment of the city, Warden said. I dont
know that other people on the council have
as deep roots as she does and I dont know
that they have as serious concerns about
neighborhood and individuals and the char-
acter of the community. Maybe they do and
I just dont know that. But I know Christine
did.
In their tenure, none of these city ofcials
had seen someone retire mid-term. But
before the council can determine how to
replace Wozniak, the discussion will have
to be agendized, Scoles said.
From my perspective, Scoles said, her
perspective is going to be missed.

of dissatisfaction with her job per-
formance. It shared the resolution to a
crowd of nearly 100 at a Monday night
meeting.
There are just two words I want to
repeat tonight acknowledge and
resolution, Taylor Middle School
teacher Julie Nestor said at the meet-
ing. Here we are nearly two months
later (after the Taylor teachers no con-
dence vote) and there has been no
communication with Taylor. Youre
ignoring our words and this situation
has expanded. We want to work
together toward a resolution.
Luna said in terms of the concerns
written from the MEA, many had to do
with competitive compensation and
rising costs in health benet s.
The district, of course, shares these
same concerns as we want so much to
compensate our employees and restore
staff and programs from all these years
of cuts, she said in an email. Both
compensation and rising costs of
health benefits are concerns of our
entire state and affect all of us. The
district is working hard to compensate
all employees and stay scally sol-
vent in our multi-year projected budg-
et.
A push for change in the treatment
of teachers and other staff was sparked
by the December 2013 resignation of
Taylor Principal Lesley Martin, who
some felt was intimidated by the
superintendent and school board into
leaving. On Dec. 4, 2013, the Taylor
classied and certicated employees
submitted a no condence vote in Luna
because of their fear she was not pro-
viding good leadership.
At the same meeting, the district
voted to expand the contract with
Pivot Learning Partners to include
feedback from parents and staff at each
of the ve schools in the district, not
just Taylors faculty and staff. The
responsibilities and commitments
will be performed at a cost not to
exceed $15,000, $5,000 more than
the original contract.
The data collected from this survey
will be compiled, analyzed and com-
municated in a report to the board. A
preliminary report will be completed
as soon as possible and no later than
March 1. Recommendations will not
be part of the preliminary report. The
preliminary report can be reviewed by
the superintendent, the district gover-
nance team and other appropriate staff
members to determine strategies for
improvement in school climate.
Im concerned to see the communi-
ty ripped apart, said Taylor parent
Laurie Giammona. Im pleased with
the climate survey, but concerned it
delays what may be the inevitable. Im
concerned we dont have an action
plan moving forward. Lesley Martin
may have a legacy of mobi-
lizing parents to get
involved.
When the association
brought forward the no con-
fidence resolution, Trustee
Frank Barbaro held up a
poster that stated Wi t h
Confidence in opposition
to the No Condence vote,
along with a sticker stating
the same thing.
Im very disappointed
with the sticker and poster,
said Taylor parent Charles
Taylor. It doesnt show a
willingness to acknowledge
the problem and move for-
ward.
Barbaro proceeded to
applaud himself. There were
also moments during the
meeting when Barbaro
argued with various audience
members. Board President
Denis Fama at one point
said, lets try to keep civil
here.
Barbaro later apolo-
gized, but said he didnt
want to be attacked.
Ive been emotional and unprofes-
sional at times, he said. Ive been
emotional because I care about the
staff and Im having a hard time under-
standing. I want the survey to go
through; I want to hear everybody
clear. The problem I have is I have a
feeling one employee (Luna) has been
personally attacked.
Fama still had some concerns about
board relations with teachers and par-
ents.
My biggest fear is that we cant
heal this thing, Fama said. I dont
want to live that kind of life as a
trustee.
Salary inequity
The no confidence vote by the
group, that is the local branch of the
California Teachers Association,
notes district teachers salaries are not
keeping pace with soaring salaries for
administrators and that health benet
inequalities also exist.
MEA members are concerned that
the superintendent has failed to take
any action about staffs increasing
concerns about the rising costs in
health benets, even though it has
been repeatedly brought to her atten-
tion that the districts contribution to
an employees health benefits is
essentially the lowest in the county.
MEA is also concerned that some
highly compensated top district ofce
staff receive the district maximum
contribution for family coverage
regardless of whether or not they actu-
ally take family coverage, according
to the no condence resolution pre-
sented to the board.
Trustee Jay Price rushed to defend
Luna.
She is being labeled the bad guy
when she has the most difcult job of
all, Price said. We must work
together because divided we fail.
There were also concerns raised
about the districts inability to secure
substitute teachers at Spring Valley
Elementary School. Some recounted
teachers having to supervise 60 stu-
dents at a time for teachers who didnt
have secured substitutes.
This breaks state laws, said parent
Karen Chin. There have been excus-
es, but not solutions. Theres been no
response at all communicated with
how to solve the problem. Its an
unacceptable response to say this
happens. The response has been cal-
lousness when people (staff) leave.
The resolution addressed this con-
cern, stating members are concerned
that issues directly affecting the edu-
cational quality of the district are not
addressed when brought to the super-
intendents attention.
For example, the issue of a lack
of substitutes in our district has
been brought to the superinten-
dents attention repeatedly with
MEAs suggestions for solving the
problem, the resolution states.
Yet nothing has been done.
Hurt in this room
Meanwhile, some board members
believe change is necessary, including
Vice President Lynne Ferrario. She
said she is anxious for the climate sur-
vey to have some data and ultimately
make changes.
Theres so much hurt in this room;
all over the place, Ferrario said at the
Monday meeting. I know its about
feelings, I know its about something
thats much bigger than what were
hearing right now. Youre right, we
have not gone down to Taylor to talk
to the staff and we made a promise on
Jan. 10 to do that. Im hoping we can
make these changes and I think we
can; were going to be better for it.
On the other hand, Trustee Don
Revelo said people cant let their emo-
tions get the better of their thought
processes. He also noted no one ever
applies for the job of trustee, so he
sees it difcult for the public to com-
plain.
I dont like a lot of what we have to
do and trustee comments are not the
board making a statement or the board
making policy or intent, he said. I
would hope we have the right to
express a thought if it is counter to
what others think.
Meanwhile, Taylor physical educa-
tion and health teacher Petra
Kretschmer said the district used to be
like a family and the board would be
hard-pressed to nd more teachers who
care as much as she does.
The resolution goes on to state that
members are concerned about trans-
parency in the districts budget within
the context of contract negotiations
with its members.
For example, the Nov. 8, 2013, to
Jan. 14, 2014, budget projections
provided to the MEAnegotiating team
by the district failed to include the
quarter of a million dollars of interest
earned on 1 Alp Way money that was
historically intended for teacher
salaries, it stated.
The districts Classified School
Employees Association also present-
ed a no condence vote at the meeting
by 59 percent of its workers. About 85
percent of this districtwide members
staff voted, 21 percent in condence
of superintendent and 20 percent
abstained.
In terms of the no condence vote
from the CSEA, I work with ve CSEA
staff on a daily basis and have very
good relationships with the district
ofce staff, Luna said in the email. I
am always open to meet and hear from
staff about any concerns and ideas for
our district. I would welcome time with
staff anytime.
The school districts next meeting
is Monday, Feb. 24.

returned stolen jewelry to three differ-
ent owners, at least two of whom were
victims of residential burglaries, Lt.
Sean Hart said.
Hopefully its going to continue to
be this successful, were pretty happy
with the way its been so far, Hart
said.
Using social media is a more ef-
cient means to distributing and gather-
ing information, Hart said.
In the past, youd have to come
down to the police station and make an
appointment to look at it, Hart said.
If people came down three or four
times and didnt nd their property,
itd get discouraging and theyd give
up.
Being able to identify stolen proper-
ty during an investigation assists
police in building a case against a sus-
pect, said San Mateo police Sgt. Dave
Norris.
The San Mateo Police Department
has also set up a Pinterest account and,
by collaborating with Redwood City
police and the Sheriffs Ofce, has
allowed residents to view stolen items
discovered in multiple cities on
Pinterest sites, Hart said.
San Mateo police branched out and
created accounts on Twitter and
Leadsonline. Citizens can keep track
their property by uploading photos,
receipts, serial numbers and any iden-
tifying information about their valu-
ables on Leadsonline, Norris said.
An ofcer recently approached the
department with several bicycles he
believed to be stolen but, with no own-
ers to identify them, was having a hard
time making a case, Norris said.
One of the biggest problems law
enforcement ofcers encounter is they
make a great proactive stop on a car
that has property in it. The ofcers
instinct tells them its stolen property
but, because whoevers property that it
was didnt have a photo, or receipt
we have a really difcult time returning
it, Norris said. Social media helps
people whose valuables are stolen get
reunited with their property; it also
helps police ofcers to make a solid
case for prosecution.
The Bay Area Law Enforcement
Social Media Group was created to help
get the public engaged and remain vig-
ilant to protect themselves and assist
police, Norris said.
The group is comprised of more than
50 agencies representing six Bay Area
counties. It allows organizations to
follow crime trends, social media tech-
niques, best practices and training pro-
grams, Norris said. The concept
became so popular, law enforcement
agencies across the nation began to
create their own groups and use social
media platforms, Norris said.
San Mateo police are using
Leadsonline to record and search prop-
erty recovered from secondhand sellers
such as pawn shops, shops that buy
and sell gold and bicycle stores that
buy and sell used bikes, Norris said.
It has also tapped in to
Nextdoor.com and is asking the public
to contact police if they receive any
information regarding crime or safety,
Norris said.
Twitter has become a valuable tool
and allows them to disperse breaking
news, Norris said.
Its an enhanced way to communi-
cate with the public, Norris said.
Being able to put [information] out
instantaneously allows us to provide
more information and more accurate
information faster.
POLICE
propagating human trafficking and its
going a step further by ensuring specied
establishments abide by new legislation to
hang informational posters aimed at vic-
tims.
Senate Bill 1193 requires establishments
including airports, train stations, truck
stops, emergency rooms and urgent care cen-
ters, farm labor contractors, massage par-
lors, adult stores and bars to display iers
listing information about human trafcking
and a hotline number for the National Human
Trafficking Resource Center and the
California Coalition to Abolish Slavery and
Trafcking. SB 1193 requires the informa-
tion to be posted in English, Spanish and
another widely spoken language.
San Mateo County released its poster
Tuesday and establishments who fail to dis-
play it will face a $500 ne on rst notice
and $1,000 subsequent citations, Wagstaffe
said.
Sex workers are often exploited at a young
age so its important for ofcers to shift
their line of thinking and recognize many
may be victims of human trafcking, said
San Mateo Police Chief Susan Manheimer.
One part of our effort is to really focus on
who the victims are. Because you may see a
hardened prostitute at 24 years old, but you
may be seeing years and years of oftentimes
forced slavery, Manheimer said.
Many victims and sex workers are reluc-
tant to work with police, so providing them
with a hotline number will hopefully encour-
age them to come forward, Manheimer said.
Anyone who suspects human trafcking is
also encouraged to call police or the num-
bers listed on the ier, Wagstaffe said.
Between 100,000 and 300,000 youth
become victimized by sex trafcking rings
in the country and California is no excep-
tion, said U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San
Mateo.
For the longest time, prostitution was
looked upon as a victimless crime. But this
is an insidious enslavement and in part its
particularly appealing to a subculture of
criminals that recognizes how valuable hav-
ing young girls and boys are in the market-
place, Speier said.
Sex trafcking is increasingly difcult to
identify with the ability for trafckers to
advertise online, so its important to educate
those who may be coming into contact with
victims and not even know it, Speier said.
South San Francisco, San Mateo and Foster
City police departments have held special
training workshops for hospitality industry
employees to help them identify and report
suspected trafcking, Manheimer said.
Making sure the public and law enforce-
ment is equipped with information and
resources is critical in reducing the presence
of human trafficking in the county,
Wagstaffe said.
Were hopeful this will save some girl, so
many are isolated and dont know where to
call, Wagstaffe said. If its something that
permeates the county, then again, we need to
collaborate to stop it.
If you or someone you know is being
forced to engage in any activity and cannot
leave call the National Human Trafcking
Resource Center at (888) 373-7888 or the
California Coalition to Abolish Slavery and
Trafcking at (888) 539-2373.
