SAMANTHA WEIGEL/DAILY JOURNAL

The 12-acre site of the former Kmart and Michaels Arts and
Crafts will make way for a new 599-unit residential development
at Delaware Street and Concar Drive in San Mateo.

After years of planning a sustainable community promoting mass transit at the Hayward Park Caltrain station, the
San Mateo City Council cleared the way for the Station Park
Green mixed-use residential development Monday night.
The council unanimously approved the proposal to create
599 residential units, nearly 2 acres of parks and open
space, 15,000 square feet of office space and 30,000 square
space of retail space at the 12-acre site on the corner of
Delaware Street and Concar Drive.
Although owner EBL&S development secured city
approval in 2011, the project was postponed due to financing and returned last year with changes requiring the councils vote.
Having been discussed for nearly a decade, nearly all of

Feds: State rail project


infringed on fox habitat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO Californias $68 billion


high-speed rail was chastised by federal
officials for infringing on the habitat of the
protected kit fox.
In a Jan. 26 letter, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service said the California HighSpeed Rail Authority and Federal Railroad
Administration are out of compliance with
environmental commitments for building
the bullet-train line in the Fresno-Madera
area, the Fresno Bee reported Monday.
The letter claims a contractors preliminary work infringed on habitat for the fox.
The authority has pledged to make up for
the loss of the habitat by providing additional habitat elsewhere in the Central
Valley.

Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
The Fish and Wildlife Service regional
office in Sacramento and the state rail
authority characterized the problem as a
communication issue, not willful disregard
of the rules.
Ground was officially broken on the initial phase of the project in January but preliminary work had been done prior to that.
The San Joaquin kit fox, about the size of
a cat, has been on the federal endangered
species list since 1967.
In the letter, a Fish and Wildlife official
chastised the agencies for work done by

contractor Tutor Perini/Zachry/Parsons last


June.
Fish and Wildlife Deputy Assistant Field
Administrator Dan Russell said the agency
was not notified of the unauthorized work
until an Aug. 29 telephone conversation. A
written notification didnt come until Oct.
21.
A biologist hired by the contractor determined a potential San Joaquin kit fox den
near the Fresno site was not active last summer.
With the high-speed rail system, the state
has promised to combat global warming
while whisking travelers between Los
Angeles and San Francisco in less than
three hours.
The initial work is on a 142-mile stretch
north and south of Fresno.

SAN FRANCISCO There is not enough

Prosecutors say the medical examiner has

the victim.
Andrus was taken into custody Friday at an

ALBANY, N.Y. Bottles of Walmartbrand echinacea, an herb said to ward off


colds, were found to contain no echinacea at
all. GNC-brand bottles of St. Johns wort,
touted as a cure for depression, held rice,
garlic and a tropical houseplant, but not a
trace of the herb.
In fact, DNA testing on hundreds of bottles of store-brand herbal supplements sold
as treatments for everything from memory
loss to prostate trouble found that four out
of five contained none of the herbs on the
label. Instead, they were packed with cheap

fillers such as wheat, rice, beans or houseplants.


Based on the testing commissioned by his

GNC, Target, Walmart and Walgreens

The governor called on
Californians to use 20 percent less

they previously came to reaching

water use dropped 11.6 percent.
California is doing its part to

through a spokesman to comment
in more detail. Careful stewardship and conservation must be our

December 2013 was unusually

a particularly heavy storm in
December 2014. The board said

this points to the potential for permanent savings if more people

There is a chance of urban and small

That would be enormous

But there was little sign

of cooperation at the
Senate Budget Committee, where Obamas
budget director Shaun Donovan defended the
$4 trillion plan as stabilizing the deficit

while raising taxes to ease the mindless


austerity of automatic spending cuts known
as sequestration.
I want to emphasize that every investment in the budget including both the discretionary investments made possible by
reversing sequestration and mandatory

paid for through spending or tax reforms,

Republicans attacked the plan over its tax
increases, spending hikes, and for adding
more than $8 trillion to the national debt
over 10 years.

He wants to spend more. He wants to tax


more, said Senate Budget Chairman Mike
Enzi, R-Wyo. He wants us to owe more,
and more and more.
Obama and many Republicans also hope
to find overlapping common ground on proposals to increase defense spending,
upgrade the nations aging infrastructure and
fix the corporate tax system.
Agreement on any one of those is a long
shot; there are significant differences
between Obama and Republicans over scale
and scope in each of their intersecting interests.

Police investigate
stabbing of transient

Man robbed on Centennial


Trail in South San Francisco

A transient was found stabbed in the area


of East Fifth Avenue and South El Camino
Real in downtown San Mateo just after 8
p.m. Monday, according to police.
The man, 54, had a single stab wound to
the torso. He was intoxicated and able to
only provide minimal details to police on
how he received the injury, according to
police.
It appears the man was in the area of the
Hillsdale train station about an hour before
he was located by police and was reported to
be intoxicated and acting aggressively
toward various people in the vicinity of the
station, according to police.
Police also dont know how he traveled
the 2.25 miles from the station to downtown in that time, according to police.
The man was taken to the hospital where
he is in stable condition, but is still unable
to speak with police investigators, according to police.

South San Francisco police are on the


lookout for two men who robbed another
man of his cellphone and bicycle Monday
night.
At approximately 9:56 p.m., the man was
robbed while sitting on the bench on
Centennial Trail and the two men fled north
toward West Orange Avenue. The victim was
struck in the back of the head before the
robbery and was taken to the hospital,
according to police.
The men were described as Hispanic and
20-25 years old. One was wearing a gray
hooded sweatshirt and dark jeans and the
other was wearing a baggy white T-shirt,
according to police.
Anyone with any information is asked to
call South San Francisco police at (650)

The more than 3 pounds he was carrying
were for personal use, he told police.
But a jury rejected that argument, finding
him guilty of felony possession of marijuana for sale and felony transport of marijuana during a trial last November.
On Friday, Judge Richard Livermore sentenced Esguerra to six months in jail and
three years probation for those charges,
prosecutors said. He will have to submit to
drug testing as part of his probation.
Prosecutors had sought a stiffer sentence,

Man exposes self


to woman at bus stop
A woman on the 600 block of El Camino
Real in Millbrae was the victim of an indecent exposure incident Monday night,
according to the Millbrae Patrol Bureau of
the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office.
Between 10:45 p.m. and 11 p.m., the
woman was at a bus stop at that location
when an unknown Hispanic male stopped
his vehicle and committed a lewd act toward
the victim. The suspect was described as a
30-40 year old, clean shaven with short,
black hair. He was driving a light four-door
sedan with a rear spoiler and left north on El
Camino Real. He is still at large, according
to the Sheriffs Office.

says repeal makes no sense

Republicans challenge
president on all fronts
By David Espo and Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Newly-empowered congressional


Republicans
challenged
President Barack Obama at both ends of the
Capitol on Tuesday, voting in the House to
repeal the health care program he signed into
law but faltering in an initial Senate attempt
to roll back immigration policies he issued
on his own.
There was a third challenge as well, as
Republican leaders announced the House
would give final approval next week on legislation clearing the way for construction of
the Keystone XL Pipeline. That would trigger Obamas threatened veto, the first in a
new era of divided government.
The skirmishes all seemed likely to end in
eventual defeat for Republicans, but served
as a potent reminder of their power after
Obama challenged them bluntly last month
with his State of the Union address and a nobalance budget on Monday calling for higher taxes and new spending. The GOP won
control of the Senate in last falls elections,
and has its largest House majority in nearly
70 years.
Badly beaten in last falls elections,
Democrats were defiant.
Theyre baying at the moon, something
that is not going to work, said the partys
leader in the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi,
referring to Republicans as the health care
vote neared.
The vote was 239-186 to repeal the health
care law known as Obamacare. Similar votes
have been held more than 50 times in the
four years, but the day gave newcomers to
Congress their first opportunity to vote to
uproot the health care law they campaigned
against last fall.

Today, I am making good on my commitment to support a full repeal of Obamacare,


said Rep. Alex Mooney, a West Virginia
Republican who took his seat in Congress
last month.
The days vote was marked by a second difference. The bill included instructions to key
committees to begin work on a replacement
that the party promised in the 2010 political
campaign. Officials described that as a measure of preparation in case the Supreme Court
overturns a key portion of the existing program in a ruling expected this June.
Only three Republicans opposed repeal of
the program, Reps. Bob Dold of Illinois and
first-termers John Katko of New York and
Bruce Poliquin of Maine.
Across the Capitol, Democrats blocked
debate on legislation to fund the Department
of Homeland Security and simultaneously
overturn presidential executive orders that
have spared an estimated four million immigrants in the country illegally from the
threat of deportation. The vote was 51-48,
nine shy of the 60 needed to begin work on
the measure.
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said
his rank and file would continue to block
action on the measure until Republicans
agree to strip out the immigration provisions.
Echoed by other Democrats, he said
Republicans were playing politics with
national security, citing the execution-byburning earlier in the day of a Jordanian
pilot held hostage by Islamic terrorists in
the Middle East as evidence of a threat.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
of Kentucky said that by issuing his immigration policy by executive order, Obama
had committed a power grab that exceeded
his authority as president.

WASHINGTON President Barack


Obama gathered with beneficiaries of his
health care law Tuesday to argue that the
persistent effort to wipe it out makes
absolutely no sense, as the House was
poised to take the first repeal vote of the
new Congress.
Obama spoke from the White House
Roosevelt Room, surrounded at a conference table by 10 Americans from across the
country who wrote him letters about how
they benefited from the Affordable Care Act.
The bottom line is that the Affordable
Care Act is not an abstraction, Obama
said. Its about people.
The House was voting Tuesday to repeal
the health care law Republicans have
vowed to undo. Theyll also direct work to
start on a replacement bill the GOP promised more than four years ago. The White
House said Obama would veto that bill if it
reached his desk.
Ive asked this question before. Why is

it that this would be at the top of their


agenda? Obama said. It was maybe plausible to be against the Affordable Care Act
before it was implemented. But now it has
been implemented and it is working.
The House voted more than 50 times in
the past two years to repeal the law in
whole or in part. Next weeks vote will be
the first for such a bill in the new
Congress. It will also be the first time the
legislation will go to a Republican-controlled Senate.
The legislation does not set any deadlines for committees to complete work on
replacement legislation or provide any
precise details on its provisions.
House Republicans promised in the 2010
campaign to repeal and replace the health
care law.
The meeting at the White House also was
intended to draw attention a coming signup deadline. Open enrollment through
insurance exchanges closes on Feb. 15 for
2015 the second year the exchanges are

Jordan executes two


al-Qaida prisoners
after ISIS kills pilot
By Omar Akour
and Karin Laub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AMMAN, Jordan Islamic


State militants put to death a captured Jordanian fighter pilot by
burning him alive in a cage,
according to a video the group
released Tuesday. The kingdom,
which had vowed a swift and lethal
response, executed two al-Qaida
prisoners by hanging early
Wednesday,
a
government
spokesman said.
The pilots gruesome death
sparked outrage and street demonstrations in Jordan, where the
countrys participation in the antiIS coalition has not been popular.
The video emerged after a weeklong
drama over a possible prisoner

exchange for a female al-Qaida


operative imprisoned in Jordan
who was one of the two prisoners
executed.
The Jordanian military confirmed the death of 26-year-old Lt.
Muath Al-Kaseasbeh, who was captured by the extremists in
December when his F-16 crashed
while he was flying a mission as
part of the U.S.-led air campaign
against the Islamic State group. He
was the first airman participating
in the U.S.-led bombing raids
against Islamic State positions in
Syria and Iraq to be captured by the
militants.
In Washington, Jordans King
Abdullah II and President Barack
Obama vowed in a hastily arranged
White House meeting not to let up
in the fight against Islamic State.

U.K. moves to allow baby to be


made from DNA of three people
By Maria Cheng
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Britain moved Tuesday toward


allowing scientists to create humans from
the DNA of three people.
The technology aims to liberate future
generations from inherited diseases, but critics say it crosses a fundamental scientific
boundary and could lead to designer
babies.
The U.K.s House of Commons voted 382178 in favor of legislation to license these
experiments. If approved in the House of
Lords, Britain would become the worlds first
nation to allow genetic modifications in
human embryos.
This is a bold step to take, but it is a considered and informed step, Health Minister
Jane Ellison told the Commons.
The technology is completely different
from that used to create genetically modified
foods, where scientists typically select
individual genes to be transferred from one

species into another. But critics say it


crosses a red line, since changes made to
embryos will be passed on to future generations, with the potential for unforeseen
consequences.
While this legislation was drafted specifically to grant permission only for certain
specified techniques, critics fear it will
encourage scientists to push for other experiments in the future.
The protests are about protecting children from the severe health risks of these
unnecessary techniques and protecting
everyone from the eugenic designer-baby
future that will follow from this, said David
King, director of the secular watchdog group
Human Genetics Alert.

embryo before transferring it into a mother
with defects in her mitochondria, the energyproducing structures outside a cells nucleus.
These genetic defects can result in diseases
including muscular dystrophy, heart, kidney
and liver failure and severe muscle weakness.

A real problem with no easy solutions

ith San Mateo County


rents reaching an average
of $2,572 a month and
possibly heading a little higher, there
is certainly no shortage of head
scratching over what to do about it.
Some contend the market will take
care of itself, but there is a danger in
doing so since average workers
particularly in the service industry
will surely be priced out of the area.
While some may say, thats the
breaks, it has the potential of further
exacerbating our already crowded
roads as many would be forced to travel from farther away. Besides, a wellbalanced community has room for
everyone with all income levels
not just the rich, the upper middle
class and the very poor. The middle
and upper-lower class have a place at
the table too.
However, some suggestions that
rent control be explored also have
some danger attached to it. First, and
paramount, rent control means that
current levels would be frozen for
those already renting. While that
might be good for those currently in
their rented homes, it would not bode
well for those seeking a rental apartment since rates could be higher,
sometimes dramatically higher, to
make up for the lower rates. It would
also take a while to proceed with any
rent control ordinances and it might
coincide with the top of the market
and provide little incentive for property owners to lower rates once rental
rates naturally go down. There is also
a concept called rent stabilization but
it is essentially a form of rent control.
Ask any real estate agent or rental
property owner and they will share
with you genuine fear about such concepts since they also have been found
to have had a deleterious effect on
housing since there is little incentive
for property owners to make improvements to their buildings if they cannot get market value in rent for them.
But there is something to be said for
property owners who believe charg-

Editorial
ing a base level to cover expenses and
a make a small prot is sufcient particularly if they have a solid tenant.
But asking for that is easier said than
done, especially when there is money
to be made.
Even if cities are interested in creating some level of rent control, the
battle against it will be tough and
may even result in changes come
Election Day. And the solutions may
actually create a whole new set of
issues with which future councils must
contend.
In the past, a tool that cities along
the Peninsula could use was redevelopment agencies to assist in building
below-market rate units but there has
not been an identied alternative
since the governor disbanded them in
2011. Redevelopment agencies
worked by keeping tax revenue in certain identied areas that could use
revitalization, and often housing was
a part of that mix. There has been
some discussion of using the states
cap-and-trade revenue allocated for
affordable housing but that is early in
the process and cities have yet to
organize plans to vie for those funds.
There has also been some discussion
about creating a housing policy for
the state at the legislative level but
that has been an ongoing discussion
with little action. In the meantime,
cities are working to determine the
best direction with properties they
acquired through redevelopment and
there are possibilities for using that
land for housing, though the scope
will be small.
Another consideration may be for
cities to loosen their zoning restrictions and in-lieu fees for certain types
of development. Cities now have the
ability to collect money for parks,
parking and other city needs from
developers and, by waiving those
fees, can do their part to ease developers burden when it comes to the construction of housing for all income

levels. There is also the possibility


of using city-owned land for development of below-market rate housing as
Belmont Councilman Charles Stone
has suggested in his city. While an
interesting idea, it will not cure the
markets overall high levels of inaccessibility for many. It is, however, a
step in the right direction, and shows
an interest in participating in the
solution. Many cities have dipped
their toes in the water when it comes
to exploring solutions and more
needs to be done.
While it can be noted there is a
housing boom in certain areas of the
Peninsula because the nances penciled out, by no means is $2,700 to
$2,900 for a studio apartment, like
those offered at the new Bay Meadows
development in San Mateo, accessible to all. More needs to be done, at
the state level, at the regional level
and the local level to not only provide a balanced community but alleviate impacts on regional trafc and
mass transit. Leaving it to the market, or overreacting to the market,
will lead us along the path to
Manhattanization, with its out-ofreach rents and questionable rent control policies the main difference is
Manhattan has a robust transit system
designed to withstand the load of travelers from other areas. Caltrain is
nice, but already crowded. BART is
not an option in the southern reaches
of San Mateo County. Without infrastructure, there is little choice for
many but the car. And the idea that
building more housing will only
make the problem worse is valid, but
short-sighted in many instances.
Workforce housing in many cases will
allow workers to live in the city in
which they are employed.
It is a complex problem with no
easy solutions, and with the possibility that some solutions may actually make the situation worse. Each and
every member of each and every city
council should be asking city staff,
what do we have available right now
to help? Then plan from there.

Should you
believe it?
W

hat an extraordinary achievement for a civilization: to have developed the one diet
that reliably makes people sick!
Michael Pollan, Food Rules.
Just when we thought that there is no hope that the adulteration of our food supply has gone beyond the point of
no return, our dilemma may be ending. It seems that various
facets of the food industry are concerned about you and me
and are beginning to offer products that they say are
improvements over previous ones. Apparently in some
cases prots are decreasing and they are concerned that consumers are turning away from their usual highly processed
products in an attempt to eat healthier. Of course, they want
us to think they have our best interest at heart, but does
anyone believe that? Its all about the bottom line.
According to a report in
the Jan. 3 Daily Journal,
many fast food establishments are concerned that
the demand for fresh and
real is on the rise. The CEO
of Yum Brands, which owns
Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza
Hut, and others are learning
toward terms like fresh
and real and healthy
though it will be a hard sell
since such outlets reputation is cheap and greasy.
Seems they are also considering eliminating chemical
preservatives and high fructose corn syrup, articial colors
and avors and bromated vegetable oil.
Carls Jr. has come up with the all-natural burger made
with beef that is supposedly antibiotic free, steroid free and
grass fed. So are they admitting that the usual ground beef
leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to quality and contamination? Subway informs us that its new chicken strips
are free of articial preservatives and avors.
As reported on the KTVU Jan. 24, McDonalds was 21
percent down in prots recently and thinking of offering
alternatives to its usual fare. Its thought that the push for
eating healthy and fresh foods has something to do with
it. Even Monsanto, that purveyor of genetically modied
organisms that, among other effects, changes the character
of our food, is airing commercials that try to convince us it
they really, truly has our best interest at heart and all is safe
(which they have no way of knowing) when it genetically
modies the plants that are the basis of the health of everyone worldwide.
As often occurs, when Im getting started on a column, I
come across a new book that relates amazingly well. This
time the book is What the Fork Are You Eating? the
truth about whats hidden in your food. by Stefanie Sacks.
She grabs our attention with her risqu title and then thoroughly reviews all the foods and products that we should
and should not be eating and how to travel supermarkets
and grocery stores so that we nd the products that contribute to our health. It also goes into quite a bit of detail of
how to purge our pantry and refrigerator of undesirable
products and how to choose healthier items at the supermarket. She even supplies recipes. After reading it, though it
offers much good advice, I was somewhat overwhelmed
like many of the listed changes are too much trouble. And
Im sure there are others who would feel the same way. Is
that why so many corporate interests are trying to entice
people to buy their supposedly improved products?
If you would like something less complicated, its much
easier to consult a small, concise book like Pollans Food
Rules as a guide and just ignore all of the healthier
claims made by the industry. Part one, What Should I Eat?
includes: Dont eat anything your great-grandmother
wouldnt recognize as food. A few other rules include
Eat only foods that will eventually rot. Its not food if
its called by the same name in every language. (Think Big
Mac, Cheetos or Pringles). I love this one: Eating what
stands on one leg (mushrooms and plant foods) is better
than eating what stands on two legs (fowl), which is better
than eating what stands on four legs (cows, pigs, and other
mammals). Add his term, edible foodlike substances for
highly processed products. Pollan rightfully condemns the
western diet as the main culprit in obesity, type 2 diabetes,
80 percent of the cardiovascular disease and cancer. And
who knows how much of the compromised health of so
many of our children is a result of the adulteration of our
food?
After all is read and done, Stefanie Sacks admits: I realize
that you are probably on information overload, but hold
close to your heart that any change, no matter how small,
can make big everyday differences. Believe it!

Is S&Ps $1.38B deal enough to keep credit raters in check?


By Marcy Gordon,
Eric Tucker and Matthew Craft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON More than six years


after the financial crisis struck, credit rating
giant Standard & Poors will be paying a
hefty $1.38 billion penalty for its role in
fueling the subprime mortgage meltdown.
But that doesnt mean it cant happen again.
S&Ps settlement announced Tuesday with
the U.S. government, 19 states and the
District of Columbia marks a public chastening of a major credit rating agency
accused of knowingly overrating toxic
mortgages that ignited the crisis. S&P and
its competitors are crucial gatekeepers that
can affect a companys or governments
ability to raise or borrow money. In the
aftermath of the crisis, federal regulators
have imposed some changes on how the rat-

ing agencies conduct business.


Yet the fundamental conflict of interest at
the heart of the rating agencies business
remains intact: They continue to be paid by
the companies whose securities they rate.
This doesnt fix anything, said Janet
Tavakoli, the president of Tavakoli
Structured Finance and a former investment
banker. This is just a traffic ticket.
Tavakoli cites a number of problems,
including payments that companies and
banks make to the agencies for ratings, as
well as flawed statistical methods. The government should go further and strip the big
rating agencies national licensing for rating complex securities, she suggested.
The process for companies and rating
agencies is akin to having a pitcher choose
the umpire, critics of the industry say, and it
puts pressure on the agencies to award better
ratings in order to secure repeat business.

Thats exactly what the government


asserts S&P did in ratings on billions of
dollars of securities that it issued from 2004
through 2007. The settlement resolves a
court fight that began with a Justice
Department lawsuit two years ago. S&P was
accused of failing to warn investors that the
housing market was starting to collapse in
2006 because doing so would hurt its ratings business.
Half the amount S&P is paying, or
$687.5 million, will go to the 19 states and
the District of Columbia.
Under the agreement, S&P acknowledged
that it issued and confirmed positive ratings
despite knowing that those assessments
were unjustified and in many cases based on
packages of mortgages that it knew were
likely to default.
On more than one occasion, the companys leadership ignored senior analysts

Virgin Galactic gets back on track toward space tourism


By Susan Montoya Bryan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UPHAM, N.M. The only thing


interrupting the creosote and mesquite
that makes up one of New Mexicos
most remote stretches of desert is a
pristine runway where Virgin Galactic
plans one day to launch the worlds
first commercial space-line.
In the four years since its completion, however, the runway has seen little use. No constant roar of jet
engines. No screeches from landing
gear. Just promises, year after year,
that it would shuttle paying passengers to the edges of Earth.

Virgin Galactic had proclaimed 2015


was finally going to be the year. That
was until the companys rocket-powered spacecraft broke apart over
Californias Mojave Desert during a
test flight last fall, killing one pilot
and igniting speculation about the
future of commercial space tourism and
Spaceport America.
Virgin Galactic CEO George
Whitesides said things are on track
now and testing will take off again this
year.
I really think were turning the corner, Whitesides said. Weve gone
through one of the toughest things a
company can go through and were

still standing, and now were really


moving forward with pace.
He said the company and its
investors arent backing down from
the goal of making space accessible.
Virgin Galactics manufacturing crew
is about two-thirds done with building
a new spacecraft, and the operations
team is ramping up for a test-flight
program that will serve as one of the
last major hurdles to getting off the
ground.
Our company has spent a lot of time
and money to get to the point where we
can carry out successful commercial
operations at Spaceport America.

Uber, Carnegie Mellon partnering on Pittsburgh research lab


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH Ride-hailing service Uber is partnering with Carnegie


Mellon University on a Pittsburgh
research lab both hope could lead to the
development of driverless cars.
Carnegie Mellon and its Robotics
Institute have been working on driverless vehicles for years, and its work is
part of the reason the city has successfully segued from an industry-driven
economy to one based on technology
and medicine in the last 20 years, with

the nearby University of Pittsburgh


Medical Center pioneering transplant
medicine and other breakthroughs.
The Uber-Carnegie Mellon deal is
another case where collaboration
between the city and its universities is
creating opportunities for job growth
and community development, Mayor
Bill Peduto said.
The partnership announced Monday
includes Uber funding for faculty chairs
and graduate fellowships at the private
research university.
San Francisco-based Uber said the

Uber Advanced Technologies Center will


also focus on mapping and safety technologies in support of its ride-hailing
mission. The lab to be built near CMUs
National Robotics Engineering Center
will occupy part of two buildings,
including a former chocolate factory.
Carnegie Mellon has been working
very hard over the last few years, developing direct relationships with the
absolute top companies in technology
and science, said Andrew Moore, dean
of the universitys School of Computer
Science.

who warned that the company had given top


ratings to financial products that were failing to perform as advertised, Attorney
General Eric Holder said at a news conference Tuesday.
S&P also agreed to retract its earlier allegation that the government had brought the
action in retaliation for its downgrade of the
United States credit rating in 2011, a concession that Holder said was personally
important to him.
The three big rating agencies S&P,
Moodys Investors Service and Fitch
Ratings have been blamed for helping
fuel the 2008 crisis by giving strong ratings to high-risk mortgage securities. The
ratings made it possible for banks to sell
trillions of dollars worth of those securities. Some investors, such as pension
funds, can only buy securities that carry
high credit ratings.

Carlmont scores four second-half goals


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Both the Carlmont and host Aragon girls


soccer teams had plenty on the line when
they met in San Mateo Tuesday.
The Scots, who were entrenched in the
No. 3 spot in the Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division standings, were trying to put
some distance between themselves and
fourth-place Menlo-Atherton.
Aragon came into the game in fifth place
and needed a win to have any hope of finishing in the top three and an automatic bid

into the Central Coast Section playoffs.


And for a half, the Dons were the equal of
the Scots, as they battled to a scoreless draw
after 40 minutes.
Over the final 40 minutes, however,
Carlmont came alive and solidified their
third-place slot with a 4-1 win over the
Dons as the Scots ran their unbeaten streak
to five games in a row.
I told my team at halftime, were going
to score, said Carlmont coach Tina Smith.
My team needs to remain patient, that
youre not going to give up on the game
plan.

That game plan is to possess the ball, get


it to attacking midfielder Kayla Fong and let
her send one dangerous through ball after
another. The Scots had plenty of chances to
cash in throughout the first half, but the
Aragon defense and goaltender Jennifer
Parker held them at bay.
It wasnt for a lack of trying on the part of
the Scots, as they outshot the Dons 8-1 in
the first half. If not for a couple of strong
saves from Parker, Aragon would have
trailed at halftime. In the 14th minute, Fong
received a free kick, turned and ran on goal.
Parker came off her line and used a kick save

to thwart Fong. The rebound went right to


Carlmonts Soha Said, whose shot was also
saved.
In the first half, we werent as successful
as we wanted to be, Smith said. We had
plenty of scoring opportunities in the first
half and their goalie made some great
saves.
Aragon, while not having a lot of chances
in the first half, nonetheless showed they
could be dangerous as Sonia Chan distributed a few hopeful through balls that were

A perfect game. A walk-off home run. Just


another day at the yard for the College of
San Mateo softball team.
The Lady Bulldogs (3-0) won their third
straight to start the season in Tuesdays
home opener with a 10-0 rout of Modesto
Junior College. CSMs pitchers Lauren

Berriatua and Lacie Crawford combined on a


five-inning perfect game. And after entering
the bottom of the fifth inning leading 5-0,
the Bulldogs rallied for a five-run fifth to
score the mercy-rule victory, capped by a
three-run home run by sophomore Kayleen

Cabinian took a nodecision after working
seven shutout innings
before giving way to
Keone Cabinian Jonny Palsha, who faced
just one over the minimum through three innings of shutout relief
to earn the win. His record improves to 1-1.
The Bulldogs (2-2) took a scoreless tie
into the bottom of the 10th inning but
loaded the bases with one out before Austin
Lonestar produced a sacrifice fly to score
Steve Pastora with the game-winning run.
Cabinian worked seven innings, giving
up four hits and walking none while striking
out five. The sophomore right-hander
pitched out of bases-loaded jams in both the
third and fourth innings before setting down
the last nine batters he faced.
In the third, DVC (1-2) got a one-out rally
cooking when Josh Stevens and Ryan
Meisenheimer had back-to-back singles and
Leo Costa got hit by a pitch to load the bases.
But Cabinian battled back by inducing a 4-63 double play to keep the shutout in tact.
CSM had its leadoff man reach four times in
the game, but could not cash in until its final
at-bat. The Bulldogs best opportunity was in
the fourth when Juan Gonzalez singled to start
the frame. Gonzalez was thrown out trying to
steal, however, just before Brad Degnan put a
one-out triple up the right-center field gap.
Degnan was stranded at third though. CSM

through. Pastora led off with a single. The

Warriors ride hot first-half stretch to beat Kings


By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Stephen Curry had 23


points and nine assists, and the Golden State
Warriors rode a 23-0 spurt in the first half to
beat the Sacramento Kings 121-96 on
Tuesday night.
The Warriors shut down Sacramento for
more than seven minutes at the end of the first
quarter and start of the second quarter to take
an 18-point lead. They went ahead by 20 at

the half and 25 in the third


quarter before holding off
a brief Kings comeback.
Andre Iguodala added 17
points, and Marreese
Speights finished with 17
points and eight rebounds
to help the Warriors sweep
the four-game series with
Marreese
Sacramento for the second
Speights
straight season.
DeMarcus Cousins had 26 points and 11

Warriors 121, Kings 96


rebounds, and Rudy Gay scored 20 for the
Kings, who rallied within 11 late in the third
quarter before the Warriors regrouped.
Sacramento snapped its eight-game losing
streak with a win at Indiana on Saturday and
had hoped to carry the momentum home.
Instead, about the only thing the Kings
accomplished was quieting Klay Thompson
who had 14 points after he scored an
NBA-record 37 points in the third quarter and

finished with 52 points in Golden States last


game against Sacramento on Jan. 23.
The Warriors had 33 assists and 11
turnovers, while the Kings had 17 assists and
18 turnovers. Golden State outshot
Sacramento 50.5 percent to 44.3 percent and
outscored Sacramentos bench 61 to 12.
It was quite a way for the NBA-leading
Warriors (38-8) to begin a stretch of four
games in five nights, including three on the
road. In all, five of their last six games before
the All-Star break are away from home.

Cubans draw dozens of scouts to Caribbean Series


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico Major league


baseball scouts leaned forward as they steadied
their radar guns and trained their video cameras on Cuban players who prepared to bat and
pitch during Tuesdays Caribbean Series in
Puerto Rico.
It is the first time that top Cuban players are
competing in the U.S. territory since Cuba
and the U.S. moved to normalize relations,
opening up the possibility that a greater number could eventually reach the big leagues.
Dozens of scouts traveled to the Caribbean
Series almost exclusively to assess Cuban talent, jotting down page after page of statistics
and observations on players including star
second baseman Yulieski Gourriel.
Were all excited about the possibility of
having the ability to acquire Cuban players
more easily now, Matt Slater, director of
player personnel for the St. Louis Cardinals,
told The Associated Press. The potential is
certainly going to increase the talent level of

baseball. Its good for the teams, its good for


the fans and the industry in general.
Cuba returned to the round-robin tournament last year for the first time in 53 years,
when it was held in Venezuela. Cuban players
had won the series seven times when it was
held from 1949 to 1960 before they were
barred in 1961 from playing professionally
overseas. In September 2013, Cuba revised
the five-decade ban to allow players to sign
offseason contracts with leagues in countries
including Japan and Mexico, as long as they
return home.
Now, the possibility of being able to play
in the major leagues excites many, including
Gourriel.
Of course I would like to play where the
best baseball is played, Gourriel said. As
long as we have permission, we would always
be willing.
More than 80 Cuban players have defected
since the 1980s, typically to countries other
than the U.S. so they can become free agents.
In 2014, 25 Cuban-born players played in

the majors, according to STATS, and since


1995, 59 Cuban-born players have made it to
the big leagues.
Fans and scouts alike hope to see the number of players increase as relations thaw
between the U.S. and Cuba.
This is the best thing that has happened,
said baseball fan Joaquin Rodriguez, a 58year-old elevator repairman from Cuba who
lives in Puerto Rico. Players from the
Dominican Republic pretty much dominate
the major leagues.
Its too early to say what kind of opportunities could open up for Cuban players, but
some changes have already taken place. The
MLB on Tuesday eliminated its requirement
that Cuban players obtain a license from the
U.S. government before they are eligible to
sign with big league teams.
Cuba team manager Alfonso Urquiola said
he hopes more negotiations will take place.
This will be beneficial to us in all areas,
not just baseball, he told the AP.
U.S. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred

said in an interview last week that there is


great interest in Cuban talent even though he
wasnt sure clubs were seeking to build more
academies in yet another country.
Currently, contracts for six of the top-earning Cuban major league players total close to
$280 million.
Cuba has a great baseball tradition. Its a
great source of talent, Manfred said.
Obviously the president has announced an
important policy change. What that means at
the nuts-and-bolts level that we operate, were
just not sure yet.
Some fans, including 45-year-old Roberto
Tellez, hope that improved relations between
the U.S. and Cuba could mean that Cuban athletes might get the opportunity to participate
in tournaments other than those played in
Latin America. Cuban-born Tellez lives in
Miami but traveled to Puerto Rico with his
wife to cheer for Cuba.
He said his dream is to see both Cuban players who live on the island and in the U.S. form
one team for the next baseball classic.

PGA Tour caddies sue for sponsorship compensation


By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO A group of PGA Tour caddies sued the PGA


Tour in federal court Tuesday for making them wear bibs that
have the logo of the tournament sponsors without sharing
in what it estimates as $50 million in endorsement revenue.
The class-action suit on behalf of 81 caddies was filed in
San Francisco, where former UCLA basketball star Ed
OBannon successfully sued the NCAA for keeping college
players from selling their marketing rights.
This lawsuit is intended to protect the rights of caddies
who are required to endorse tour sponsors with zero compensation from the PGA Tour, said Gene Egdorf, the caddies Houston-based lawyer. Any working professional
deserves to be paid based on the income they generate, but
thats not happening on the PGA Tour.
PGA Tour spokesman Ty Votaw said there would be no
comment.
At issue was whether the tour had a right to force caddies
to wear bibs and retain for itself the tens of millions of dollars in advertising generated by those bibs.
The lawsuit stems from a dispute that has been brewing

for more than a year over treatment of caddies.


A tipping point was at The Barclays in August 2013 at
Liberty National during a rain delay, when caddies said security would not allow their wives or children in a caddie room
because they did not have credentials. They felt it was an
example of how the tour treats them like second-class citizens. At several tournaments, they are not allowed in the
clubhouse or in the locker room.
The bibs a caddie wears have the players name on the
back, and the tournament logo on the front. The lawsuit
also claims the tour has denied caddies access to basic
health care and pensions plan.
Mike Hicks, the caddie for Payne Stewart when he won his
last U.S. Open in 1999, and Kenny Harms, who works for
Kevin Na, were the top two class representatives in the lawsuit. Included among the other caddies were Andy Sanders
(who works for Jimmy Walker), Jimmy Johnson (Steve
Stricker), Damon Green (Zach Johnson) and Tony Navarro,
the longtime caddie for Greg Norman who now works for
Gary Woodland.
The caddies for Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Rory
McIlroy were not part of the class-action lawsuit. Joe
LaCava, who works for Woods, is a board member of the
Association of Professional Tour Caddies that was formed

just over a year ago.


The profession has changed over the last few decades.
Several caddies on tour formerly played on smaller tours.
Michael Maness, who caddies for Kevin Chappell, qualified
for The Greenbrier Classic in 2012. Green played in a U.S.
Senior Open. Sanders played in the Palmer Cup when he was
in college.
PGA Tour players are considered to be independent contractors who employ their caddies individually.
The lawsuit claims the tour has contacted players to ask if
they would be willing to fire their caddies for not wearing a
bib.

Falcons owner acknowledges fake crowd noise


By Charles Odum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga.


Falcons owner Arthur Blank said
Tuesday he has seen enough of the
NFLs investigation of fake crowd
noise at Atlantas home games to
acknowledge wrongdoing.
The NFL is trying to determine if
the Falcons pumped artificial crowd
noise into the Georgia Dome for
home games the last two years.
Apparently, the answer is yes.
Blank had a quick response when
asked if there was a fine line for crowd
noise not allowed by the league.
Its not really a fine line, Blank
told The Associated Press. I think
what weve done in 2013 and 2014
was wrong. Anything that affects the

Carlmont fullbacks or gobbled up
by goalkeeper Lauren Racioppi.
Carlmont continued to dominate
possession in the second half and
the dangerous passes kept coming
until the Scots finally broke
through with three goals in 20
minutes.
They turned it up a notch and we
couldnt match them, said Aragon
coach Nick Dye. They have a
number of good players who can
hurt you.

league, as a club and as an owner. Its
obviously embarrassing but beyond
embarrassing it doesnt represent our
culture and what were about.
Blank said he expects the league to
report its findings in two to three
weeks.
The Falcons could be fined or
penalized with the loss of a draft pick
if found to have added fake crowd
noise during the opposing teams
huddles when they were trying to call
a play.
Weve got some information
internally, Blank said of the investigation. Not all, clearly, until we see
the full report. But weve dealt with it
internally the best we can, which was
limited because we havent seen the
report.
Weve gotten some information

from the league but until we read the


full report and until they publish their
findings, we cant be totally clear.
Weve talked to a lot of people and
weve cooperated and well be anxious to read the report.
The Falcons say 101 of 103 games
have been sellouts since Blank
bought the team in 2002. Actual
turnouts declined during losing seasons the last two years.
Atlanta ranked 10th among the 32
NFL teams with its average home
attendance of 72,130 in 2014.
Construction is underway for a new

Fong slotted a perfect through ball
that Said ran onto in the middle of
the penalty box before poking
home for a 2-0 Scots advantage.
Five minutes later, it was 3-0,
with Said receiving a pass in the
Aragon penalty box. Despite having three defenders hanging on
her, Said managed to turn, find

some space and get just enough on


her shot to get it past the goalkeeper.
We can be competitive, we can
be organized then there was that
five-minute spell that cost us the
game, Dye said.
Sage Shamsai rounded out the
scoring for the Scots two minutes
later on what was arguably the
best-looking goal. Amit Netanel
whipped a pass into the penalty
box that Shamsai one-timed with
the side of her foot into the top of
the net to put Carlmont up 4-0.
Aragon (3-5-1) pulled a goal
back in the 72nd minute when Zoe
Barrie slotted a perfect through
ball into space for Katie Savage,
who put her shot away.
Were building for the future,
Dye said. There is enough (talent)
here to get us where we want to
go.

NEW YORK Major League


Baseball has eliminated its requirement that Cuban players obtain a
license from the U.S. government
before they are eligible to sign with
big league teams.
The decision could speed the
negotiating process for Yoan
Moncada, a well-regarded 19-yearold infielder who left Cuba last year
with permission from Cubas government.
MLB Executive Vice President

Dan Halem sent a memorandum to


teams Tuesday, saying the new policy was warranted following changes
made last month by the U.S.
Treasury Departments Office of
Foreign Assets Control to Cuban
Assets Control Regulations. That
followed President Barack Obamas
announcement in December that the
United States and Cuba were reestablishing relations.
A Cuban player previously had to
obtain an unblocking license from
OFAC before he could sign a contract. Halem told clubs that under the
new rules all Cuban national

Diana Taurasi to
skip 2015 WNBA season
PHOENIX The toll of playing
year-round basketball finally caught
up with Diana Taurasi.
But instead of taking a season off
from her club team, Taurasi is going
to skip the 2015 WNBA season so
she can rest.
Less than a year after leading the
Phoenix Mercury to its third WNBA
title, Taurasi announced on Tuesday
that she has accepted a lucrative offer
from UMMC Ekaterinburg in Russia
to rest this summer.

ended in disappointment. CSM went twoand-out in the state tourney a lesson
learned for the current sophomore, who
through her first two outings this season
looks to be on a mission.
[Losing] was hard, but it is what it is,
Berriatua said. Going into this year, it was
cool because its a new team, a new year.
Were not trying to push last year into this
year. But now were starting to build and
grow. I think thats what we need. We need
to keep building and see where it goes from
there.
The right-hander looked to have everything working Tuesday, setting down all 12
batters she faced, including notching all
four of her strikeouts in her final two
innings. Berriatua said she was a little
uneasy after her first pitch of the game
missed in the dirt. But she quickly settled
in, inducing three groundouts to cruise
through the first inning.
I think starting out I was a little [iffy] but
after a while it was pretty consistent,
Berriatua said.
CSMs smooth infield defense helped settle down Berriatua. The Bulldogs have not

pinch hitter Tyler Carlson was intentionally
walked to load the bases with one out,
Lonestar produced his first RBI of the year
on a walk-off sacrifice fly to win it.
Next up, CSM travels to Solano College
Thursday for a 2 p.m. first pitch.

Caada 9, Contra Costa 7


The Colts (4-0) won their fourth straight
to start the season with a dramatic 9-7 win at
Contra Costa (0-2).
The back-and-forth battle saw Caada
leading 9-5 in the bottom of the ninth, but
Contra Costa mounted a rally against the
Colts bullpen. Enter closer Chris Miguel,

made an error through three games this season.


[Defense] is very important, said
Smith, the Bulldogs shortstop. Our coach
reminds us every day that weve been top in
the state for defense. So, we focus on that a
lot and make sure we make our big plays.
Once Berriatua and sophomore catcher
Leilani Akai settled into a rhythm, CSMs
fluid defense carried over to the offensive
side of the ball. And once the Bulldogs bats
get going, theres no stopping them.
After a rare scoreless first inning by
CSM, the bats got going in the bottom of
the second. Kaitlin Chang started a two-out
rally with a ground-rule double down the
right-field line. Brittney Wilkerson followed with a high fly ball that Modesto's
left fielder dropped for an error, allowing
Chang to score with Wilkerson advancing
to second. Smith followed by scorching an
RBI single to center to score Wilkerson,
giving the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead.
In the third, CSM added to its lead with
four hits and a clutch squeeze bunt.
Rodriguez led off the frame with an infield
single. After she stole second, Akai shot an
RBI double to left-center. Berriatua then
singled to left, moving Akai to third.
Christy Peterson followed with her first collegiate hit, an infield single to score Akai.
Then Chang dropped a squeeze bunt to score
Berriatua, giving CSM a 5-0 lead.

Meanwhile, Berriatua was dominating in


the circle. In the first inning she induced
two groundouts to the shortstop Smith and a
groundout to the second baseman Peterson.
In the second inning, she got three fly outs:
a pop out to Smith at short, a liner to
Wilkerson in center and a routine fly ball to
Chang in left. In the third, she started the
inning getting a groundout to second before
notching back-to-back strikeouts. In the
fourth, she induced a groundout to short
before finishing her day with a pair of
swinging strikeouts.
She looked good today, CSM head
coach Nicole Borg said. Everything looked
right on point. So, were in good shape for
it only being the third game of the season.
Up 5-0 going into the fifth inning, Borg
turned to left-handed reliever Crawford. The
sophomore preserved the perfecto by starting the frame with a pop out to catcher
Harlee Donovan. The she ran the count full
to notch a dramatic strikeout. She finished
the day by inducing a pop-up to Janelle
Rubio at second base.
Borg said she was aware of the perfect
game when she brought in Crawford, but the
priority is for the entire team to get its feet
on the ground early in the season.
The whole perfect game when its a
big game and youre fighting tooth and
nail to get that win sure, you dont pull
your pitcher, Borg said.

The combined perfect game bodes well for


the Bulldogs though, who are relying on the
pitching duo to eat up a majority of the
innings this season.
They've both looked solid, Borg said.
Its a matter of developing them both and
getting them both to where we need them to
be for a big game. So, were going to
need both of them to be at their very best
throughout the season.
When Crawford walked off the diamond
after the top of the fifth though, the game
seemed as though it could go a regulation
seven innings. But a five-run Bulldogs rally
sealed the deal to win via eight-run mercy
rule.
In the fifth, CSM got a single from Kacy
Edwards and a pair of walks to Rubio and
Chang to load the bases. Then Wilkerson
shot a two-RBI single to up the lead to 7-0,
moving Chang to third base as the potential
game-ending run.
But leave it to the Bulldogs to go out in
style. Smith not only drove home Chang,
she connected with a fastball to blast a towering three-run home run to left-center and
set off a walk-off celebration at home plate.
Next up, CSM starts a three-game weekend series Friday. The Bulldogs host Shasta
Friday at 3 p. m. before playing two
Saturday. The doubleheader starts at 10 a.m.
against Gavilan. The nightcap is against
Shasta at 2 p.m.

who came on amid a twoout, bases loaded jam and


threw one pitch to end it
on a fly out to center
fielder Randy Ventura.
Before Miguel entered,
Caada second baseman
Champy Lucca had two
clutch defensive plays in
Josh Eclavea the inning to help preserve the lead, including
a headlong, backhanded dive on a sharp
grounder up the middle. Champy Lucca
gloved it while fully extended, popped to
his feet and fired to first for the second out
of the inning.
Colts starting pitcher Josh Eclavea earned
the win to improve to 2-0. The sophomore
right-hander threw seven innings, allowing
five runs on eight hits while walking one
against four strikeouts.
According to Colts manager Tony Lucca,
Eclavea didnt have his best stuff Tuesday,
but he brought enough in persistence and
demeanor to get the job done.

Just the fact that he throws strikes and he


has command of all his pitches and hes
got a great attitude, Tony Lucca said. Hes
stoic-faced out there. You cant tell if hes
giving up 12 runs or if hes throwing a nohitter.
After falling behind 4-2 early, the Colts
began chipping away. They scored once in
the third to close it to 4-3 before taking the
lead in the sixth.
The play on which Caada took the lead
was a bizarre one. With runners on second
and third, Champy Lucca lifted a routine fly
ball to left. But the Costra Costa left fielder
not only dropped the ball allowing Dom
Giuliani to score from third base, the left
fielder then threw errantly to the plate to
allow Sean Walsh to score from second.
There were two errors charged on the play.
Giuliani got Caada some valuable insurance runs in the second when the freshman
connected with his first home run of the
year.
Giuliani was 2 for 3 in the game. Jacob
Martinez also had a multi-hit game for the

Colts going 2 for 4 with two doubles. For


Contra Costa, Timmion Hughes was one leg
short of the cycle, going 3 for 4 with a single, double and triple. Arturo Parra was 3 for
5 with a double and an RBI.

For big flavor, little fat, try powdered peanut butter


By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Powdered peanut butter sounds, pardon


the pun, a bit nuts.
While fitness buffs sang its praises
when it first hit
the scene a few
years ago, I
scoffed. But after
seeing it take up
more
and
more space on
the

shelves of my local supermarket, I caved and


bought it for the first time. At first I stayed
fairly traditional in my usage: I added a scoop
to my chocolate or banana morning smoothie, or added it to cookie dough to make a
lower calorie peanut butter cookie.
But it grew on me. Soon, I was adding it to
curries and sprinkling it on my oatmeal or
over frozen yogurt. It really is quite good.
Powdered peanut butter is just what it
sounds like peanut butter that has had all
of the moisture and most of the fat removed.
Youre left with a fine powder (similar in texture to cocoa powder) that has the flavor of
regular peanut butter. It can be used as is or
reconstituted. For the latter, you just
stir 1 tablespoon of water or other liquid (such as almond milk) into 2
tablespoons of powdered peanut
butter until smooth.
One serving (2 tablespoons) of
reconstituted peanut butter has a
fraction of the fat and calories of traditional peanut butter 45 calories, 5
grams of protein, 1.5 grams of fat and 1 gram
of sugar. Compare that to the 188 calories,
16 grams of fat, 8 grams of protein and 3
grams of sugar in the real deal.
I love the creamy decadence of real peanut
butter as much as anyone, but its worth considering powdered if there are times when you
want the flavor with a leaner profile. Plus, I
find powdered peanut butter can be used in
ways the regular stuff cant. For example, this
recipe for salty-sweet peanut popcorn. It is
awards season, after all. So I figured Id
share my favorite popcorn treat.
The recipe is simple, with just enough
sweetness from a hit of honey to balance the
salty peanut flavor. Using coconut oil for the

popping rounds out the flavor. Its truly


addictive!

SALTY-SWEET
PEANUT-HONEY POPCORN
Prefer the microwave? Use unflavored plain
popcorn and pop according to package directions, then transfer to a large bowl and proceed with the recipe starting with the honey.
Start to finish: 10 minutes
Servings: 8
1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
In a heavy, large saucepan over medium,
heat the coconut oil. Sprinkle in the popcorn
kernels and give a quick stir with a wooden
spoon to coat the kernels in oil. Continue
cooking and stirring until the first kernel
pops. Once it does, cover the pan and, using
oven mitts, grasp the pan by both the handle
and the lid, then gently shake the pan (on the
heat) to keep the kernels moving as they continue to pop. Do this for about 2 minutes, or

BROADWAY
Continued from page 1
night, the policy will be moved to the
consent calendar for formal action at the
next council meeting later this month.
Councilman
Michael
Brownrigg
approved of removing the restaurant cap,
but wanted to know what type of power the
city government had to restrict national
fast food chains from filling available
storefronts on Broadway.
I dont know how many people will
thank us if there is a Taco Bell,
McDonalds and Burger King on
Broadway, he said.
Community Development Director Bill
Meeker said the city has limited ability to
impede national chain food establishments from moving into Burlingame,
without also blocking the ability of
smaller, local restaurants to set up shop on
Broadway.
The council agreed to move toward
approving lifting the restaurant cap, but
said that the policy should be brought
back for review in one year, to inspect any
potential unintended consequences.
Vice Mayor Ann Keighran said she is
willing to defer to the desire of residents
in shaping the future of the shopping district.
I dont mind having more restaurants
on Broadway, if thats what the communi-

FOOD
ty wants, she said.
Meeker said the city should also review
its policy regarding specialty food establishments, the umbrella under which fast
food and small-scale local restaurants both
fall, to further delineate between the type
of restaurants that the city might support.
He said that the price to rent space on
Broadway might be cost prohibitive for
national fast food chains, and could work
to curb the interest of those establishments from wanting to move to
Burlingame.
Councilmembers said during the meeting that it was time to move away from the
restriction, instituted in 1999, and spoke
in favor of allowing the free market to dictate what businesses would succeed on
Broadway.
The idea of limiting restaurants is not
appealing to me, said Councilman John
Root.
Ross Bruce, of AVR Realty on Broadway,
said he doubted that fast food chains would
be quick to snap up prime real estate along
the street, and favored allowing the
demand of customers to determine what
types of businesses would succeed in
Burlingame.
Its worth rolling the dice on this
change, he said. If the entire process
goes south, we can reevaluate it.
Councilmembers agreed that lifting the
restrictions would increase competition in
the region, which is generally healthy for
businesses.
If the city gets too many restaurants,

the market will rule it out, said
Councilman Ricardo Ortiz.
Brownrigg echoed those sentiments.
I do very much agree that competition
is what keeps things lively, and what
keeps things moving, he said.
The councils decision on Monday continues the momentum set by a unanimous
approval of the Planning Commission
last month, to recommend removing the
cap on restaurants and health services
above the first floor on Broadway. Last
year, the Business Improvement District
sent a letter to the council to support the
action. Burlingame currently allows only
28 food establishments on Broadway.
In October, the city hosted a survey summit, in which residents, merchants and
property owners offered their feedback on
the vitality of the region. Of the more than
1,000 responses to the survey, 60 percent
said they did not think the district is thriving.
Others expressed concerns regarding the
lack of parking options, and the city staff
said that it will look at those opportunities when the city leadership reassesses
the general plan in coming months.
Brownrigg said that the city should also
consider loosening its restriction on
murals and signs, and perhaps allow merchants on Broadway more freedom to promote their business through creative
means.
Local patrons and merchants spoke in
favor of lifting the cap on restaurants.
John Kevranian, owner of Nuts For

Candy, and president of the Broadway


Burlingame
Business
Improvement
District, emphatically agreed with the
restriction being lifted.
Im thrilled, he said. Council made a
great decision. Its a great outcome for the
community, and for Broadway.
Kevranian, who has owned his business
on Broadway for 20 years, has long advocated for the district to be free of restrictions on restaurants. He said he would like
to see a bakery, wine shop and pizza
restaurant open on the street, now that the
cap is going to be lifted.
He also agreed with the councils concern regarding fast food businesses interest in moving to Broadway, but said he
doubted there would be overwhelming
interest from national chains.
With much of the retail industry shifting
its focus to online sales, Kevranian said
allowing more restaurants on Broadway
will help fill store fronts vacated by retailers who were forced to shutter their businesses. He said there are five vacancies
currently on Broadway.
Paul Woodworth, a frequent customer of
local businesses on Broadway, said he supported allowing more food establishments
in the region, as it is in keeping with the
character of the business district.
I dont think its a bad thing,
Woodworth said. Little cafes and restaurants are what this area is all about.
He said he did not think that lifting the
restriction would result in Broadway being
overrun with food establishments.
I think its good for the economy. I
dont think too many more restaurants are
going to come in here, he said.

Coke bets on super milk; more protein, less sugar


By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Coke is coming out with


premium milk that has more protein and less
sugar than regular. And its betting people
will pay twice as much for it.
The national rollout of Fairlife over the
next several weeks marks Coca-Colas entry
into the milk case in the U.S. and is one way
the worlds biggest beverage maker is diversifying its offerings as Americans continue
turning away from soft drinks.
It also comes as people increasingly seek
out some type of functional boost from their
foods and drinks, whether its more fiber,
antioxidants or protein. That has left the door
open for Coke step into the milk category,
where the differences between options remain
relatively minimal and consumption has
been declining for decades.
Its basically the premiumization of
milk, Sandy Douglas, president of CocaCola North America, said at an analyst conference in November. If developed properly,
Douglas said it is the type of product that
rains money.
Fairlife, which Coca-Cola formed in partnership with dairy cooperative Select Milk
Producers in 2012, says its milk goes

years, during which hes served as the director of the Parks and Recreation Department
for 22 years.
Im very honored, privileged and excited about being named the next city manager. This is a great, great community,
Miller said. We have an outstanding staff,
and thats in every single department. And
they really are focused and Ill continue to
have them focus on maintaining excellent
public service.
Miller said while his role is to support
the councils direction, he looks forward to
engaging the community as they work on
issues such as economic sustainability and
promoting responsible growth.
Miller will continue to train with Hardy
over the next five months as he transitions
into his new role. The council will negotiate an employment agreement and salary
for Miller at its Feb. 17 meeting.
Vice Mayor Gary Pollard, who previously
chaired the Parks and Recreation
Commission, said hes confident in

in 2012, says its milk goes through a filtration process thats akin the way skim milk is made.
through a filtration process thats akin the
way skim milk is made. Filters are used to
separate the various components in milk.
Then, more of the favorable components are

added, while the less desirable ones are kept


out.
The result is a drink that Fairlife says is lactose free and has 50 percent more protein, 30

Millers foresight and attributes.


He brings skills of teamwork, of getting
the best out of people. Im confident hell
surround himself with the right players to
make our city continue to be where you
want to live, work and play, Pollard said.
Hes very organized, detailed, a big
thinker type of person. When he does a
project, hes not thinking just for the
moment, hes thinking three, five years
out. Hes the most sociable, outgoing
person that I think our business community is going to really thrive with his ideas
and hes a very creative individual.
Miller will step in as an array of changes
continue with new housing developments
in the pipeline and expanding biotech
companies calling the small Bayside community home. Internally, the city has also
experienced transitions as several longtime employees recently retired or relocated.
Along with Hardy, who spent 34 years
with the city, the former assistant city
manager Steve Toler, Finance director LinLin Cheng and former Public Works director Ray Towne as well as his replacement
Brad Underwood have also left over the last
few years.
Mayor Art Kiesel said Millers long-

standing history serving the city made him


an opportune candidate.
We have become void of institutional
knowledge through retirements and just
with new people. And I think Kevin can
bring stability to all of those groups and
get all the new department heads to function as a cohesive unit, Kiesel said.
Councilmen Steve Okamoto and Charlie
Bronitsky agreed Miller will help ease any
challenges related to losing major city
department heads.
Kevin, with his tenure with the city,
helps us maintain that institutional knowledge bridge, Okamoto said. We know
Kevin to be a very organized administrator
and we knew that he would take this position and keep it going without missing a
step. So I am both professionally and personally pleased that Kevin has accepted our
offer.
Foster City is known for its extensive
network of pristine parks
with Kiesel and Councilman
Herb Perez citing them as
evidence of Millers leadership.
He possesses a tremendous skill set and is a
dynamic leader who is well

percent more calcium and 50 percent less


sugar than regular milk.
The same process is used make Fairlifes
Core Power, a drink marketed to athletes that
has even more protein and calcium than
Fairlife milk.
Sue McCloskey, who developed the system
used to make Fairlife with her husband Mike
McCloskey, said Fairlife will be marketed
more broadly to women who are the gatekeepers for their families nutritional needs.
Even while touting its nutritional advantages, however, Fairlife will need to be careful about communicating how its drink is
made. Jonas Feliciano, senior beverage analyst for market researcher Euromonitor, noted
people want drinks that do something for
me, but that Fairlifes juiced-up nutritional
stats may make people hesitant about how
natural it is.
They have to explain that this is not an
abomination of nature, Feliciano said.
Already, Fairlife has been subject to some
teasing. After the drink was referenced in
Cokes analyst presentation, comedian
Stephen Colbert referred to it as extra expensive science milk and made fun of the elaborate way its made.
Its like they got Frankenstein to lactate,
he said.
respected by his peers and staff, Perez
wrote in an email. He is unparalleled in his
understanding of our community and ability to motivate people towards excellence.
His department is a testimony to his
vision, direction and follow through.
When Hardy announced his retirement,
councilmembers had varying ideas of what
they wanted to see in his replacement.
While the councils vote is often split on
weighted topics, the councilmembers
remained unanimous in their choice of
Miller.
Im looking forward to working with a
very dynamic and spirited City Council. I
know the City Council is very passionate
about the community they love and they do
love Foster City. And I absolutely believe
theyre champions of and for the citizens
they serve, Miller said. As a city manager, Im looking forward to working with all
five of them to make sure we deliver excellent service to the community.

APPROVED
Continued from page 1
the
councilmembers
previously
reviewed the Station Park Green development while on the council or
Planning Commission.
I think Ive seen it evolve into a
much better project and a lot of that has
to do with the Planning Commission, I
really applaud their hard work, said
Mayor Maureen Freschet, who was on
the commission in 2006, according to a
video of the City Council meeting.
This project to me really meets the
goals of our General Plan and it also
supports our transit-oriented development goals of our Rail Corridor [Plan]
that was passed in 2005, and it also
supports our sustainability goals.
Developers were able to postpone the
project in 2011 with the council
approving a long-term development
agreement and EBL&S paying $1.7
million to the city. With the council
approving the changes Monday night,
the site will now be made up of four
larger buildings instead of eight and
have the minimum amount of office and
retail space as originally proposed.
Enclosed parking is provided through
structures hidden within the four buildings with the residences wrapping
around. A total of 778 spaces will be
provided for residents and another 131
spaces are designated for visitors,
workers and guests, according to a city
staff report.
It was due to the changes, the developers and the Planning Commission
met several times over the last year to
hash out details with the commission
ultimately approving the proposal 4-1
in mid-January.
This has been a long time, this project, and I have to say as painful as it was
sometimes, going through the process
with the Planning Commission
improved this project, said Alan
Talansky, EBL&S senior vice president

TECH
Continued from page 1
Valley, representing businesses, government and the broader community,
also shows record venture capital
investment in technology.
The worlds hottest regional economy keeps getting hotter, said Joint
Venture President Russell Hancock,
pointing to the highest growth rate
since 2000.
And unlike 15 years ago when the
tech sector spiked and then crashed,
this time economists say theres a
solid economic base.
Its not bubblicious. We have
grown into this and weve done this

of development and a San Mateo resident. I think we ended up with a beautiful project and I think its better looking than I thought it would be.
Talansky previously said he anticipates starting demolition within three
months at the former sites of Kmart and
Michaels Arts and Crafts. Construction
is likely to take about two years and the
Shell gas station has already been leveled, Talansky said previously.
In designing Station Park Green,
Talansky said they took instruction
from the citys Rail Corridor Plan,
which calls for transit-oriented developments and housing along the
Caltrain line.
This project really does epitomize
what we as a community approved in
2005, said Vice Mayor Jack Matthews.
Station Park Green will provide 60
units available to those with very-low
incomes and Matthews said the 599 residences will help the citys and countys
dire need of more housing.
The rental units are primarily made up
of the highly desired studios and onebedrooms, however, a handful of threebedroom apartments were added at the
request of planning commissioners,
Talansky said.
Station Park Greens pedestrianfriendly interconnected street system,
diversity of architecture, neighborhood
and commuter-serving retail rather than
big box stores and sustainability measures exemplify San Mateos transit-oriented development goals, Talansky
said.
Station Park Green aims to achieve
LEED, or Leadership in Energy and
Environment Design, Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building
Council.
The project incorporates numerous
sustainability measures, will be ready
for solar and implement gray water
infrastructure allowing the project to
use recycled water when the city is able
to provide it, Talansky said.
Some councilmembers raised concern
that although the project will be solar

ready, there is no firm commitment


from EBL&S to install panels.
However, Talansky said with the pace at
which renewable energy technology is
changing, it makes more sense to wait
until the project is closer to completion
and his commitment to achieving LEED
Gold will encourage on-site renewable
energy sources.
The site will also provide a minimum
of six electric-vehicle charging stations available to the public as well as
ample bike parking space for residents,
according to EBL&S representatives.
To promote use of mass transit,
Talansky said Station Park Green will
provide shuttle services for residents
and possibly work with Caltrain to provide discount rail passes.
Station Park Green may also team up
with the proposed neighboring Hines
office complex, which could transform
3.3 acres into 292,400 square feet of
offices, to provide traffic demand management measures such as more shuttles, Talansky said.
In taking notes from other transitoriented
development
projects,
Talansky said they plan on providing a
market-demanded amount of retail that
will be less big box chain and more
community serving. Talansky added
hes interested in offering a few downtown merchants the option to open
sites at Station Park Green.
Developers agreed to use local laborers. Union representatives as well as
members of the public spoke in favor of
the project Monday night.
Councilman David Lim praised
EBL&S for working closely with the
community to address concerns and said
he was thrilled to approve the project
for a second time.
Freschet agreed shes hopeful Station
Park Green will live up to the citys and
communitys goals.
I think its a wonderful, thoughtful
example of urban development,
Freschet said. I think its something
the city of San Mateo can be very proud
of.

incrementally, Hancock said. Silicon


Valley, home to Google Inc., Apple
Inc., Facebook Inc. and many other
tech companies, was the last economy
to succumb to the recession and the
first to emerge from it. The 1,900square-mile region south of San
Francisco also saw some of the highest income gains and housing prices in
the country last year.
The report shows that with the
income and population growth, lowwage earners are being priced out of
housing, roadways are increasingly
congested, and public rail service is
overwhelmed throughout the greater
Bay Area.
In addition, the income gap is the
largest in the U.S., with world-class
firms paying top wages to computer
scientists while those who work for

them, such as housekeepers, landscapers or caretakers, havent seen significant wage increases. Thus almost one
out of three households needs food or
shelter subsidies.
The gap is growing, not because
most people are doing worse here, but
because people at the top are growing
faster, said economist Stephen Levy,
who directs the Center for the
Continuing Study of the California
Economy.
At Buena Vista Mobile Home Park in
Palo Alto, resident Alex Simangas, a
cook at a local pizza restaurant, says
theres no way he could afford rents
that average $2,600 for an apartment
in his hometown if he lived anywhere
else.
I love Palo Alto, but its expensive, he said.

Reverse Mortgage Financial Assessment to begin March 2015


The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued a nancial assessment for
reverse mortgage borrowers that will take effect
March 2, 2015
HUD writes in explaining the purpose of nancial
assessment, The mortgagee must evaluate the
mortgagors willingness and capacity to timely meet
his or her nancial obligations and to comply with the
mortgage requirements. The mortgage requirements
include paying property taxes, homeowners insurance
and keeping up home maintenance.
HUD states, In conducting this nancial
assessment, mortgagees must take into consideration that some mortgagors seek a HECM due
to nancial difculties, which may be reected
in the mortgagors credit report and/or property
charge payment history. The mortgagee must also
consider to what extent the proceeds of the HECM

could provide a solution to any such nancial difculties. For borrowers who do not demonstrate
their willingness to meet their loan obligations, life
expectancy set-asides will be required.
The mortgagee letter also species documents that
must be collected and submitted to all borrowers. The
documentation has been updated to include Financial
Assessment Documentation including, credit history,
income verication, asset verication, property charge
verication, residual income analysis, documentation
of extenuating circumstances or compensating factors
and calculations for life expectancy and residual
income shortfall set-asides.
If you have a question about qualifying for a reverse
mortgage today, or how the nancial assessment will
impact your situation, contact us today.

A reverse mortgage is a loan that enable


homeowners 62 or older to borrow against the
equity in their home without having to give up
title, or take on a monthly mortgage payment.
The money received can be used for any purpose.
The loan amount depends on the borrowers age,
current interest rates, and the value of the home.
Borrower must maintain property as primary
residence and remain current on property taxes
and homeowners insurance. A reverse mortgage
does not have to be repaid until the borrower
sells or moves out of the home permanently,
and the repayment amount cannot exceed the
value of the home. After the loan is repaid any
remaining equity is distributed to the borrower or
the borrowers estate.
