By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The owner of a San Mateo pest and jan-
itorial services company who prosecutors
say under-reported more than $10 million
of payroll to avoid paying more than $2
million in workers compensation insur-
ance was sentenced yesterday to a year in
jail and ordered to repay the money.
Teresa Reif, 34, faced up to 17 years in
prison after pleading no contest in April to eight various counts
of fraud without any sentencing promises. On Tuesday, Judge
Craig Parson instead handed down the year jail followed by
five years supervised probation. She must also repay
$1,651,148 to the State Compensation Insurance Fund and
$451,310 to Berkshire Hathaway.

neighborhood at Pilgrim and Triton
drives, is set to have its grand opening
later this month and some city ofcials
like the project so much they say it will

Elected officials with the Sequoia
Healthcare District are bracing for uncertainty
as they grapple with the implications of the
federal Affordable Care Act and whether new
strategies should be developed as it supports
the health-care needs of residents in southern
San Mateo County.
The board recently reorganized with Dr.
Jerry Shefren being appointed president to
take over for Kim Grifn and Art Faro being
named vice president. Katie Kane was also
renamed the districts secretary-treasurer at its
Feb. 6 board meeting.
At the same meeting, the districts Chief
Financial Ofcer Lee Michelson reported that
the district last year spent $10.3 million on
programs while collecting $8.3 million in tax
revenues. A contractual payment from Dignity
Health, operator of Sequoia Hospital, and
reserves provided the balance of spending, he
reported in his State of the District speech.
Dignity Health is the new name for the for-
mer Catholic Healthcare West which bought
Sequoia Hospital from the district in 1996.
Shefren praised the districts recent direc-
tion in terms of tighter
controls on how grants are
given and pledged careful
oversight of taxpayer
money.
As for the future, in the
next two to three years the
board has to understand
the implications of the
Affordable Care Act and
how it affects the care-
delivery systems in the district which may
require changes in our strategy. We have to
make sure that our activities are in sync with
the major changes that will be occurring in
health care, Shefren wrote in a statement.
Faro wants to make sure as many residents
as possible have access to critical health-care
services.
There are many loopholes in our health
care delivery system. As best we can, the dis-
trict should ensure that no citizen in our dis-
trict goes without preventive and curative
care, Faro wrote in a statement.
Jack Hickey, who has consistently called for
the districts dissolution, rounds out the board.
The district provides major funding to
numerous nonprot community health organ-
izations that directly assist more than 50,000
women, children and seniors in the district,
which includes the cities of Atherton,
Belmont, Menlo Park, Portola Valley,
Redwood City, San Carlos, Woodside and
portions of San Mateo and Foster City from
Skyline Boulevard to the Bay.
In other health care news: Sequoia Hospital
announced yesterday that it is one of the
nations 50 best hospitals for 2013 as meas-
ured by Healthgrades, an online resource that
helps consumers search, evaluate, compare
and connect with physicians and hospitals.
Healthgrades evaluated nearly 4,500 hospitals
nationwide reviewing and analyzing clini-
cal performance across 27 common proce-
dures and diagnoses to determine the
nations best performing hospitals based on
objective measures of clinical quality. To be
recognized with this distinction, according to
Healthgrades, hospitals must have had risk-
adjusted mortality and complication rates that
were among the lowest 5 percent in the nation
for a minimum of seven years. This is the rst
year that Sequoia Hospital has achieved this
designation.

Obituary
A Redwood City man facing a potential life
sentence for the beer bottle face slashing of a
man celebrating his 21st birthday with three
female friends accepted a felony assault plea
deal that sends him to prison for up to four
years.
Ismael Cruz, 36, was expected to start trial
Monday on charges stemming from the June 11
altercation outside Mazzoccos Bar on
Middleeld Road but instead settled the case.
Prosecutors sought a ve-year maximum term
but Judge Jonathan Karesh capped it at four
years when Cruz is sentenced April 11.
Prosecutors say the fracas began around 2
a.m. when the victim and his three female
companions left the bar and encountered Cruz
and his friends outside. Cruz reportedly made
vulgar remarks to the women and when the
victim asked him to calm down the two
exchanged punches. Cruz
broke a beer bottle, charged
forward and slashed the
man in the face leaving him
with a pronounced and per-
manent 7-inch scar from
the top of his head to his
neck and a second 3-inch
scar near his ear, said pros-
ecutors.
The man required hospi-
talization to remove the glass and close the
wounds.
The permanent disgurement led to Cruz ini-
tially being charged with aggravated mayhem
which carries up to a life sentence.
Prosecutors agreed to settle the case rather
than pursue trial because there was some con-
cern about how a jury would perceive the vic-
tim and the circumstances of the bar ght, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

Police are seeking two men who tried to
steal $2,000 worth of power tools from Home
Depot in San Carlos Sunday before assaulting
two employees who were able to get back the
merchandise.
Deputies from the San Carlos Police Bureau
were called to Home Depot, 1125 Old County
Road, at about 6 p.m. Sunday. Reports had
come in that an employee, the store loss pre-
vention ofcers, had been assaulted, according
to police.
About 10 minutes prior to the call to police,
the rst suspect described as a Hispanic
man in his late 20s, about 5 feet 8 inches tall
and weighing more than 300 pounds wearing a
black short sleeve shirt and blue jeans
placed about $2,000 worth of power tools into
a shopping cart then left the store without buy-
ing them, according to police. Once outside,
the man walked toward a black, newer model
Honda Accord with tinted windows and a large
spoiler that had the second suspect
described as a white man in his mid to late 20s
with blond hair, about 6 feet tall and weighing
185 to 200 pounds in the drivers seat,
according to police.
The stores loss prevention ofcers identied
themselves to the men and told them to stop,
after which the men started a physical ght
with the store employee. At the end of the
ght, both store employees sustained minor
injuries from being struck with a small wood-
en bat. The loss prevention ofcers successful-
ly recovered the stolen merchandise. Both sus-
pects ed the scene.
Anyone with any information about this
crime should contact Detective Matthew Broad
at (650) 363-4363 or the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce Anonymous Tip Line at (800)
547-2700.

A Daly City teenager who bound and
gagged a 68-year-old man during a home inva-
sion robbery last year was sentenced to seven
years in prison in San Mateo County Superior
Court on Tuesday.
Jose Antonio Rodriguez, 18, lowered his
head as Judge Craig Parsons handed down the
maximum sentence for the July 2012 robbery.
Deputy District Attorney Sharon Cho said
Rodriguez scoped out the victims Daly City
home before the crime, and knew that he used
a walker.
Rodriguez enlisted the help of a teenage boy
and forced his way into the residence after
knocking on the door and asking to use the
bathroom, Cho said.
Rodriguez then used duct tape to tie up the
victim and cover his eyes and mouth, Cho
said.
The two intruders stole the mans laptop,
money and his 2008 Honda. The victim man-
aged to struggle free and call police.
One day later, Rodriguez and his accom-
plice were pulled over in the victims car in
San Francisco. Cho said the two were cele-
brating with the victims stolen property.
In December, Rodriguez pleaded no contest
to ve felonies, including robbery of a victim
over 60 years old, false imprisonment of an
elder and car theft.
At Tuesday mornings sentencing, Parsons
called the robbery an incredibly serious
crime against a helpless victim in his home.
Parsons said the robbery was extremely
egregious and warranted the maximum sen-
tence.

for a state that saw energy prices spike to
unprecedented heights amid rolling blackouts
in the summer of 2000. The state itself bought
billions of dollars worth of electricity to keep
the lights on.
The judge sided with the state in nding that
more than a dozen electricity wholesalers arti-
cially drove up energy prices.
There was massive manipulation going on
in the market by virtually all these sellers,
said Frank Lindh, the commissions general
counsel.
State pension fund
moves to divest from firearms
SACRAMENTO Californias largest pub-
lic pension system has approved divesting from
companies that make guns and high-capacity
ammunition magazines that are illegal in the
state.
State Treasurer Bill Lockyer made the motion
Tuesday as a board member of the California
Public Employees Retirement System.
Lockyer had requested a review of CalPERS
investments after it was revealed that the state
teachers retirement fund invested in the owner
of a company that manufactured one of the
weapons used in the Connecticut school shoot-
ing.
The California State Teachers Retirement
System last month approved Lockyers motion
to divest from companies that manufacture
assault weapons, Saturday Night Specials or
high-capacity ammunition magazines.

County seeks volunteers
for caterpillar release
Volunteers are needed this week and next to
help reintroduce the Bay Checkerspot Buttery
to a historic range at Edgewood County Park
and Natural Preserve by placing caterpillars.
The San Mateo County Department of Public
Works and Parks in partnership with volunteers
with the Friends of Edgewood County Park and
Natural Preserve, the California Native Plant
Society and San Mateo County Parks
Foundation have been working on reintroduc-
tion for years following the populations extinc-
tion in 2003.
Habitat restoration efforts aimed at increasing
Plantago, the favorite food of the butteries, has
been the primary focus of thousands of volun-
teer hours. Successful work included spring
mowing to remove plants that crowd out
Plantago as well as hand weeding, goat grazing
and the removal of Eucalyptus stands. For the
past three years, volunteers have carefully trans-
ported Bay Checkerspot Buttery larvae and
caterpillars from Coyote Ridge in south San
Jose to Edgewood County Park and Preserve in
Redwood City.
This has been an excellent example of suc-
cessful restoration efforts reversing the damage
done to a rare species, said Parks
Superintendent Gary Lockman in a prepared
statement. This project has been a cooperative
effort among scientists, San Mateo County
Parks, volunteers and local funders. These part-
nerships are invaluable in our efforts to enhance
the ecosystem during these difcult nancial
times. A call is now out for volunteers to place
buttery caterpillars Feb. 21 and Feb. 25. Space
is limited.
For more information or to register as a vol-
unteer visit www.friendsofedgewood.org.
Reservations are required and while the event is
free donations are suggested to support the but-
tery restoration program.

County Park and Natural Preserve visit the Bill

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The benefits of
expanding health care for Californias poor
under the Affordable Care Act far outweigh
the costs to the state, according to a report
released Tuesday by the nonpartisan
Legislative Analysts Ofce.
Legislative analyst Mac Taylor urged law-
makers to adopt an optional Medicaid expan-
sion that features an enhanced cost match
from the federal government, meaning Uncle
Sam will pick up most of the tab and send bil-
lions of dollars owing into the state.
Taylor says the additional money can be
used improve health care in California even
though the state will take on additional costs
down the road. The report estimated that by
taking on new enrollees, the state could be on
the hook for between $300 million and $1.3
billion a year starting in 2020.
Gov. Jerry Brown has committed to expand-
ing Medicaid, known as Medi-Cal in
California, for people who make up to 138
percent of the federal poverty line, or about
$15,400 a year for an individual. The analyst
estimated the expansion will bring 1.2 million
new enrollees by 2017.
The program already serves about 8 million
adults and children, nearly 1 of every 5
California residents.

SAN FRANCISCO A mid-winter storm
brought colder temperatures, a rare tornado
and much-needed rain to California on
Tuesday and left light snow dustings on even
relatively low-elevation San Francisco Bay
Area mountain peaks.
The storm came out of the Gulf of Alaska,
bringing the rst signicant rainfall to the
region in several weeks, the National Weather
Service said.
Periodic showers, including bits of hail, hit
the Bay Area in time for the morning com-
mute while a batch of new snow fell in the
Sierra Nevada where ski resorts around Lake
Tahoe were expecting up to 8 inches of snow.
Light snow urries were spotted high in the
hills in Oakland and in neighboring Berkeley,
said Rick Canepa, a National Weather Service
meteorologist based in Monterey. The storm
also left a dusting of snow on the top of Mt.
Hamilton near San Jose and on the tips of Mt.
Diablo in the East Bay by early Tuesday after-
noon.
In the Sacramento area, a tornado with
winds speeds between 40 to 70-miles-per-
hour was spotted north of Red Bluff shortly
after 1:30 p.m., according to the weather serv-
ice. It caused little or no damage.
Even though San Francisco saw highs in the
70s last week, California has been experienc-
ing a colder-than-normal winter overall.

Suspects sought in armed robbery
Redwood City police are searching for two
suspects who assisted a third man in an armed
robbery of a 79-year-old
woman in her home Feb.
7.
Police have arrested 21-
year-old Jovanni Martinez
Aguilar, a Redwood City
resident, and are searching
for Luis Martinez Trujillo,
21, and an unnamed juve-
nile Hispanic female, who
allegedly assisted in rob-
bing the woman at gunpoint and ransacking
her house on the 900 block of 10th Avenue,
according to police.
The victim phoned police while she was
locked in a bedroom and police arrived in
time to apprehend Aguilar.
The other two suspects ed the scene, how-
ever.
Arrest warrants have been issued for both
suspects and police believe the suspects are
still together, are aware they are being sought
by law enforcement and are taking steps to
avoid detection and arrest. An associated
vehicle is a black Volkswagen Jetta,
California license number 5TGT848.
Anyone with information regarding the
whereabouts of these suspects or this incident
is encouraged to contact Detective Mark
Alifano at (650) 780-7677.
Girls saved from fire on coast
San Mateo County Sheriffs deputies are
credited with saving two young girls from a
burning home in Moss Beach Monday night.
County Dispatch received the report of a
house re on the 500 block of Lancaster
Street. Upon arrival, deputies learned from
the homeowner that his two daughters were
still asleep in their beds in an upstairs bed-
room.
They entered the smoke-lled residence
and retrieved the two girls. All family mem-
bers and the pet dog were taken to safety and
the fire quickly extinguished. The family
members plus the ofcers were given medical
treatment at the scene and later transported to
area hospitals as a result of smoke inhalation.
The re was contained to the garage but
there was smoke damage throughout the
home, according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
The cause of the re is under investigation.
Burlingame officers recognized
Avoid the 23, San Mateo Countys multi-
jurisdictional effort against impaired drivers,
honored police ofcers, California Highway
Patrol ofcers and sheriffs deputies for their
DUI expertise.
Among those recognized for their individ-
ual efforts were Burlingame police ofcers
Nick Kempel who made 28 arrests, and Dan
Forbes with 20 arrests.
The event took place at the Crowne Plaza
Hotel in Foster City and was sponsored by
Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the
California Ofce of Trafc Safety, which
funds the Avoid the 23 through the National
Highway Trafc Safety Administration.
Caada College introduces African
wasp to help control the olive fruit fly
A small African wasp that is the natural
enemy of the olive fruit fly appears to be
gaining a toehold in the olive trees on the
campus of Caada College in Redwood City
which could bring good news to Californias
olive growers.
Diego Nieto, an adjunct biology professor
at the college, and students in biology 110,
are part of a statewide effort to find a way to
control the olive fruit fly, whose larvae feed
on the fruit of olive trees and is considered a
serious pest. California produces more than
95 percent of the olives grown in the United
States.
The olive fruit fly was first discovered in
California in 1998 and was later found in
San Mateo County in 2001. California is the
only area in the Western Hemisphere where
the olive fruit fly has been found. Scientists
discovered that natural predators in
California were largely ineffective in con-
trolling the spread of the fruit fly.
The olive fruit fly is in the family
Tephrididae, which is home to several seri-
ous agriculture pests, including the
Mediterranean fruit fly, Mexican fruit fly,
and oriental fruit fly, said Nieto. These
flies are capable of utilizing ripening fruit
for oviposition, which makes them especial-
ly damaging to fruit production. The fruit
flies we commonly encounter, on the other
hand, are in the family Drosophilidae, and
are only capable of laying eggs in overripe
fruit.
The wasps are very small and look like lit-
tle ants with wings. They are also incapable
of stinging people. And while they pose no
threat to people or animals, they pose a
major threat to olive fruit flies.
These wasps are specialists, Nieto said.
They have co-evolved with the olive fruit
fly and are well-suited to utilize the fruit fly
larvae for reproduction.
Female wasps deposit eggs into a fruity y
maggot inside of an olive. The egg hatches
into a smaller larva that feeds internally on
the maggot. After this maggot pupates,
instead of a y emerging, a wasp emerges to
seek out additional maggots.
Since being released on campus, Nieto and
his students have been monitoring the
progress of the little African wasp.

Regional government
Editor,
Andy and Kerry Patterson, not to
worry, (Regional Government
Merger in the Feb. 14 edition of The
Daily Journal) local city and county
governments will ght tooth and nail
against becoming irrelevant and cer-
emonial. I had a chuckle when I read:
We are the USA, not the United States
of Socialist Nations. We were the
USA until the Great (Socialist) Society
programs of President Lyndon Baines
Johnson in the 1960s. We have become
the United Socialist States of America,
a Plutocracy. Thats USSAP, pro-
nounced you-sap. Want proof? Just
watch Obama ght budget cuts for his
programs.

Meeting on regionalization
Editor,
I think the Silicon Valley Network
and the Silicon Valley Community
Foundations idea to regionalize the
101 cities and nine counties is social
engineering (Bay Area leaders consid-
er merger in the Feb. 9 edition of the
Daily Journal). This will take away the
voice of each person in these location
and make each city and their elected
ofcials irrelevant.

Gun control?
Dear editor,
In a recent guest perspective, in the
Feb. 18 edition of the Daily Journal,
state Sen. Mark Leno outlined his per-
spective on Keeping our communities
safe from gun violence. Lenos Senate
Bill 140 intends to strengthen the
armed prohibited person system. This
automated system tracks gun owners
who have crossed the line due to men-
tal illness, felony, domestic violence or
violent misdemeanor offenses. Under
such circumstances, these individuals
are required to surrender their rearms
but do not do so. This system allows
agents from the Department of Justice
to legally conscate any rearms being
held by such individuals.
On the other side of the aisle, are a
number of senators, both state and
national, along with certain major met-
ropolitan mayors, (you know who they
are) who are trying everything in their
elected power to burden law abiding
gun owners with additional fees (taxes)
and multiple restrictions in order to dis-
courage gun ownership. This, on top of
current regulations, puts California at
the top of the list for most restrictive
gun laws.
In the middle of all this are those
persons of interest who own rearms
and commit crimes, that havent been
caught, or turned in their guns. These
individuals are the responsibility of the
local police department.
In conclusion, based on being sensi-
ble and responsible where would you
apply your tax dollars?

Letters to the editor
Pasadena Star-News
I
t has been clear to many
Californians of all political stripes
for some years now that the
California Environmental Quality Act is
in need of reform.
Its also clear that the act at its best
has protected our state from untold des-
ecration over the decades since it was
signed into law by Gov. Ronald
Reagan.
But its been equally clear that a rush
job is worse than prescriptions that
would be more harmful than the dis-
ease. Thats why we noted in August
that while reforms are needed, it is cru-
cial to get them right. That meant not
hashing them together into a last-
minute bill without public scrutiny in
the rush last fall to pass such bills.
That makes now a good time to start
the discussion about how best to revise
the important environmental quality
laws.
There is a renewed effort early in the
2013 session and it is welcome. Gov.
Jerry Brown discussed CEQA reform in
his January State of the State address.
He noted, as many have, that its hard
to think of a CEQA exemption in
recent years including the wholesale
one for a proposed football stadium in
downtown Los Angeles that hasnt
been necessary if anything is to get
done. When regular exemptions are the
correct political stance to apply a law,
something is wrong.
Enacted in 1970, CEQA has done a
lot of good by requiring the proponents
of land development and construction
projects to document the expected
impact on the surroundings and lay out
plans to limit damage.
However, it is one of those laws
whose effects sometimes stray beyond
the intent. It has been used by local
governments, by labor unions, by own-
ers of agriculture land, and by business
rivals to try to block projects they dont
like. Whether or not their objections are
really about the environment, theyve
been able to use CEQA as a legal speed
bump.
Even when CEQA lawsuits have
failed to stop projects, theyve too often
added delays and costs.
Fortunately, a rush reform effort that
did indeed come along late in the last
legislative year was not passed by the
California Legislature.
Now, just a few months after the last
legislative reform effort was quashed,
some of those who have been pushing
in Sacramento for reform believe the
dynamics have changed.
And one of the leaders of that effort,
moderate Democratic state Sen.
Michael Rubio of the Central Valley,
could be the appropriate Nixon-in-
China gure to lead the reform. While
the need to reform CEQA has tradition-
ally been a Republican issue, Rubio
took it on last legislative session and
saw his effort put down by the
Democratic leadership when Senate
President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg
declined to advance it.
But Steinberg just appointed Rubio
chairman of the Environmental Quality
Committee, and the Senate leader has
said he will make reviewing updates to
the CEQA law a priority this session,
according to the Sacramento Bee.
The Sierra Club and other traditional
CEQA proponents continue to say that
even now is not the time for a total
overhaul of the law. But even they
allow that some of its low-hanging
fruit particularly egregious bureau-
cratic language in its latest update to a
grand 399 pages just two years ago
might be ripe for picking.
It is indeed not the time, nor will it
ever be, to gut Californias environmen-
tal protections against inappropriate
development. But, given how often
CEQA is either entirely thrown out or
merely bogs down a process, this leg-
islative session is the time to nally
strike the right balance.
This is year for CEQA reform
Role Models?
T
he nature of man is always the same. It is their
habits that separate them. Confucius.
Did you watch the Super Bowl? If you did, did you give
any thought to the gratuitous violence and the possibility of
serious or permanent brain damage caused by concussion?
Did you think about all of
those ex-pro football players
who are preparing to sue
because of their continuing
problems from concussion?
Maybe Im an old fuddy-
duddy, but Ill never be able
to understand why many par-
ents are still pressuring their
young sons to play the game
and to hope for eventual fame
and fortune in the pros.
A few questions: What
does all of that obsession
with power, strength, vio-
lence and winning at any cost
say about us? Why are warriors and such extremely violent
athletics so revered? Is it a good idea to teach our children
that real men indulge in violent activities and risk serious
injury or even death? Even Bob Costas, NBC sports com-
mentator, said on Meet The Press Feb. 3, that the way
football is played now even legal hits are frightening and
illegal hits are worse. How can there be any hope to live
in peace and harmony when such violence and aggression
remain such an integral part of our sports and entertain-
ment culture?
Seems George Orwell caught on long ago. Serious sport
has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred,
jealousy, boastfulness, disregard for all rules and sadistic
pleasure in witnessing violence: In other words, it is war
minus the shooting.
About those rules, think Lance Armstrong that All-
American Bike Racer. This married man with children lied
and cheated about his drug enhancement for years in his
obsession with winning and staying in the limelight. Is
there no conscience, no decency, no shame, no punishment
for such dishonesty besides taking some of his awards
away? Is this the type of role model we want for our chil-
dren? What happened to integrity, honor and humility?
Theres an old saying: Sports do not build character, they
reveal it.
When it comes to role models, we cant overlook all of
those priests who were molesting young boys for so many
years while the Catholic Church hierarchy covered for
them. And they profess to be Christians! It makes you won-
der what kind of men go into the priesthood. What are they
escaping by cloistering themselves in the sanctuary of the
church? After all, they come from parochial schools where
children learn not to question, to believe what has been
drummed into their heads by catechism and look up to
those pious men in their ecclesiastical robes who apparent-
ly have immersed themselves in a fantasy world in order to
escape reality. Now that so many of the transgressors are
being exposed, you wonder what Catholic parents are
telling their kids.
We are in desperate need of providing heroes that
demonstrate good morals, good values and good deeds and
thats where parents come in. Not only is it essential for
them to be good role models, they have to try to counteract
all of the cultural garbage that bombards their kids on a
daily basis. Thats why they need to spend time with their
kids and talk to them about why so many things that are
considered desirable these days are not conducive to a good
life and what things contribute. Its not easy, but parents
need to be there for their kids physically and psycholog-
ically after having worked on developing some sustaining
values of their own. Unfortunately, too many of todays
children do not have responsible, caring and involved par-
ents in their lives.
Children need to see and live with good examples not
narcissistic sports figures, not inebriated football fans who
riot and destroy after a victory (or a loss), not bike racers
with absolutely no ethical standards or seriously dysfunc-
tional, hypocritical men of God. They need to experience
and observe men who contribute to the support material-
ly and psychologically of their families, concentrate on
setting a good example for their children and take part in
the community. They need to experience decent, responsi-
ble and compassionate men who face life with courage,
integrity and determination and do their part to make this
world a better place for their children and grandchildren
men who dont get their thrills from violence and mayhem,
exploiting others or cheating the establishment but from
doing the right thing.
In writing about the preying priests, David Weigand of
The Chronicle, described some deaf boys who were so
egregiously violated. For years, their unspoken voice fell
on intentionally deaf ears in the church and law enforce-
ment. But they never gave up, simply because they knew
right from wrong. Maybe theres hope!

BUSINESS 10
By Matthew Craft
NEW YORK Talk of more
deal-making sent the stock market
higher Tuesday, putting the Dow
Jones industrial average within
close reach of its all-time high.
Reports that retailers Office
Depot and OfficeMax are dis-
cussing a merger came after big cor-
porate deals for Heinz and Dell
were announced in recent weeks.
Some investors are betting that
more deals could be on the way as
buyers pay premium prices for pub-
licly traded companies.
The Dow rose 53.91 points to
close at 14,035.67. All it would take
now is one good day to push the
average above 14,164, the record
high reached in October 2007.
It seems that investors are more
comfortable with taking risk right
now, said Jack Ablin, chief invest-
ment ofcer at BMO Private Bank
in Chicago. Thats despite the $1.2
trillion in automatic federal spend-
ing cuts that are scheduled to start
March 1 unless Congress and the
White House nd a way to avoid
them. Congress returns from vaca-
tion next week.
Previous budget battles in
Washington have rattled nancial
markets. But this time out, many
investors seem unfazed by the
prospect that Congress wont stop
the sequester from kicking in.
One reason is that the cuts are
spread across the board for a
decade, instead of all at once.
I think investors are actually
comforted by it, Ablin said. Its
not ideal. But if Congress cant do it
when left to their own devices, this
is the next best thing.
In other trading Tuesday, the
Standard & Poors 500 index rose
11.15 points to 1,530.94. The tech-
nology-heavy Nasdaq composite
index gained 21.56 points to
3,213.59. Google crossed $800 for
the rst time.
The gains were widely shared, if
slight. Nine of the 10 industry
groups tracked by the Standard &
Poors 500 index inched higher, led
by energy companies. More than
two stocks rose for every one that
fell on the New York Stock
Exchange.
Markets were also higher in
Europe following news that the
German economy is picking up
steam. Indexes rose more than 1
percent in Germany and France.
Stocks of ofce supplies stores
jumped following a report in The
Wall Street Journal that OfceMax
and Ofce Depot were considering
a deal to merge. The paper said an
announcement could come as early
as this week.
OfficeMax soared $2.25 to an
even $13, a gain of 21 percent, and
Ofce Depot shot up 43 cents to
$5.02, a gain of 9 percent. Staples
also rose as investors anticipated
that more mergers could be on the
way.
Analysts cautioned that antitrust
regulators could block mergers in
the ofce-supply business. Staples,
for instance, tried to buy Ofce
Depot in 1997, but was stopped by
the Federal Trade Commission.
Health insurers fell after the
release of preliminary government
data that suggests rate cuts to
Medicare Advantage plans for next
year will be steeper than anticipat-
ed.
The two largest Medicare
Advantage providers, Humana and
UnitedHealth, sank. Humana had
the biggest loss in the S&P 500,
dropping 6 percent, or $4.98, to
$73.01. UnitedHealth fell 66 cents
to $56.66.
The government says it expects
costs per person for Medicare
Advantage plans to fall more than 2
percent in 2014. The government
uses this gure as a benchmark to
determine payments for these pri-
vately run versions of the govern-
ments health care program for the
elderly and disabled.
In the market for U.S. govern-
ment bonds, the yield on the 10-year
Treasury note rose to 2.03 percent
from 2 percent late Friday.

SAN FRANCISCO Googles stock
price topped $800 for the rst time
Tuesday amid renewed condence in the
companys ability to reap higher prots
from its dominance of Internet search and
prominence in the growing mobile mar-
ket.
The milestone comes more than ve
years after Googles shares initially hit
$700. Not long after breaking that barrier
in October 2007, the economy collapsed
into the worst recession since World War
II and Googles stock tumbled into a pro-
longed malaise that eventually led to a
change in leadership.
Besides enriching Googles employees
and other shareholders, the companys
resurgent stock is an implicit endorse-
ment of co-founder Larry Page. He
replaced his managerial mentor, Eric
Schmidt, as CEO in April 2011. Googles
stock has risen by 36 percent since Page
took over. By contrast, the benchmark
Standard & Poors 500 index has climbed
by 15 percent over the same stretch.
Most of Googles gains have occurred
in the past seven months a period that
has overlapped with a sharp downturn in
the stock price of rival Apple Inc. The
iPhone makers market value has plunged
by about $230 billion, or 35 percent,
since late September.
All that Apple money had to go some-
where, said BGC Financial analyst Colin
Gillis.
Standard & Poors Capital IQ analyst
Scott Kessler concurred, reasoning that
many investors who have abandoned
Apple are gravitating to one of its biggest
rivals.
Google makes and distributes its free
Android software to Samsung Electronics
Co., HTC Corp. and other mobile device
makers looking to compete with Apples
iPhone and iPad. Since its 2008 introduc-
tion, Android has established itself as the
most popular mobile operating system,
partly because the free software makes it
easier for device makers to undercut
Apples prices for iPhones and iPads.
Android is set up to feature Googles
search engine and other services, giving
the company a chance to sell more ads.
If you are looking at Apples peers in
its space and see who seems to be really
doing well right now, it makes a lot of
sense to invest in Google now, Kessler
said.
Despite its diminished luster, Apple
remains the most valuable U.S. company
with a market value of $432 billion.
Google now ranks third with a market
value of $266 billion, with Exxon Mobil
Corp. holding the spot in between at $402
billion.
Google lifts stock above $800
Homebuilder confidence
slips from six year high
By Alex Veiga
LOS ANGELES Condence among U.S. homebuilders
slipped this month from the more than six year high it reached
in January, with many builders reporting less trafc by prospec-
tive customers before the critical spring home-buying season.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo
builder sentiment index released Tuesday dipped to 46 from 47
in January. It was the rst monthly decline in the index since
April.
Readings below 50 suggest negative sentiment about the
housing market. The last time the index was at 50 or higher was
in April 2006, when it was 51. It began trending higher in
October 2011, when it was 17.
The latest index, based on responses from 402 builders,
comes as the U.S. housing market is strengthening after stag-
nating for roughly ve years after the housing boom collapsed.
Steady job gains and near-record-low mortgage rates have
encouraged more people to buy homes. Prices have been rising.
In part, thats because the supply of previously occupied homes
for sale has thinned to the lowest level in more than a decade.
And the pace of foreclosures, while still rising in some states,
has slowed sharply on a national basis.
Microsofts Outlook takes aim at Googles Gmail
SAN FRANCISCO Microsoft is so condent it has
the Internets best email service that it is about to spend at
least $30 million to send its message across the U.S.
The barrage began Tuesday when Microsofts twist on
email, Outlook.com, escalated an assault on rival services
from Google Inc., Yahoo Inc., AOL Inc. and a long list of
Internet service providers.
As part of the process, all users of Microsofts Hotmail
and other email services operating under different domains
such as MSN.com will be automatically converted to
Outlook.com by the summer, if they dont voluntarily
switch before then. All the old messages, contacts and set-
tings in the old inboxes will be exported to Outlook.com.
Users will also be able to keep their old addresses.
Email remains a key battleground, even at a time when
more people are texting each other on phones.
HTC shows off new phone for One line
NEW YORK HTC Corp., the struggling Taiwanese
maker of smartphones, is taking a page from longtime part-
ner Microsoft Corp. as it launches a new phone under the
One brand.
The phone runs Google Inc.s Android software, but HTC
is grafting its own home screen on the phone, one thats sim-
ilar to that of Microsofts Windows Phone software.
Apple says Macs at its offices were hacked
NEW YORK Apple says a small number of Mac com-
puters at its ofces were infected by malicious software, in
an attack similar to the one Facebook acknowledged last
week.
In both cases, computers were infected through software
downloaded from a site for software developers. The attacks
took advantage of aws in the Java plug-in for Web
browsers.

NEW YORK Reserved for the better part
of February for the con-
tentious process of salary
arbitration, the Ellis East
Room on the second oor
of the Hyatt Regency
Phoenix went unused. For
the rst time since arbitra-
tion began in 1974, none
of the players who led
wound up arguing their
cases.
After peaking at 35 hearings in 1986, the
number of salary arbitration cases argued has-
nt reached double digits since 2001. The total
dropped to a record low of three in 2005, 2009
and 2011, and then there were none at all this
year.
All 133 players who led last month settled,
gaining an average increase of 119 percent,
according to a study by The Associated Press.
San Francisco catcher Buster Posey, the NL
batting champion and MVP, led the way with
a 13-fold hike to $8 million.
While I do believe that this year was an
aberration, the salary structure for arbitration-

No Central Coast Section seeding? Not a
problem.
Both Sequoia and Carlmont high schools
went into the 2013 CCS boys basketball play-
offs unseeded and came out with victories
Tuesday night to kick off rst round action in
Division I.
The Scots traveled to Santa Clara and took
down the home team 51-44, extending head
coach Dave Lows stay at the helm for
Carlmont at least another game.
I thought the key was Yash Malik hitting
those three 3-pointers in the rst quarter,
Low said. That set the tone offensively for
us.
Malik finished with 14 points while
Michael Costello led the Scots with 20 huge
points.
Defensively Carlmont held Santa Clara to
just ve points in the rst period and eight in
the fourth. We really clamped down on their
best shooters, Low said. Carlmont takes on
No. 7 Milpitas next on Thursday night.
Sequoia, also unseeded, took down No. 11
Independence High School. The Cherokees
will visit No. 6 Fremont next.
Also in Division I action, Menlo-Atherton
could not overcome a scrappy Wilcox team.
The No. 9 seeded Bears fell 61-54. Theyre a
very athletic team, M-A head coach Mike
Molieri said of Wilcox. And we had to get
our of game plan early with such a high-scor-
ing game. I was proud of the way we came
back but give Wilcox credit. Theyre a good
team.
Over in Division III, No. 11 Terra Nova
defended its home court and took down
Sobrato 66-62. It was one of those game
where the Tigers were forced to hit clutch free
throws down the stretch to hold off Sobrato.
Jaylend Jones was a perfect 10 for 10 from the
charity stripe.
We were able to pound the ball inside,
said Terra Nova head coach Kenny Milch.
And we did a good job on the boards. And
then, we hit some timely 3s. The Tigers take
on No. 6 Aptos in the second round, Thursday.
In girls basketball action, No. 9 Menlo-
Atherton trounced Independence 53-25. Erin
LaPorte and Katherine Hayse hit 3-pointers
on M-As rst two possessions and the Bears
never looked back.
Emma Heath scored eight of her game-high
13 points in the rst quarter as the Bears built
a 20-6 lead after one period and led by 23 at
the half.
LaPorte nished with 10 points for M-A
while Dana Nguyen led the 76ers with eight.

Woodside High School guard Mitchell
Hickman knows a thing of two about the gym-
nasium hes called home the last four years of
his basketball life.
And when he sits back years from now to
tell heroic tales, he and the rest of the 2013
Wildcat seniors can say they said goodbye to
their home oor in style.
It took No. 12 Woodside overtime but they
overcame a late surge by unseeded Overfelt,
winning 66-59 to open Central Coast Section
Division II play. The Wildcats held the Royals
to just four point in the OT frame and just one
eld goal which actually came as the
triple-zeroes hit the scoreboard.
We wanted to come out with a win,
Hickman said. It feels good to get it. To go
out in your last game with a win, its all we
want. Its what we play for. Im going to miss
it so much. Its been a good four years. Its
been a lot of fun.
The CCS fun isnt over yet for the Wildcats.
Theyll travel to No. 5 Leland on Thursday
night for second round action.
This is a good senior class, said Woodside
head coach Doug Fountain. They have no
quit in them. Thats been the thing all season.
Were not a dominant team and we have to
out-hustle, we have to out-defend the teams,
but they just dont quit. They never believe
theyre out of a game. So, my hats off to them.
Im proud of them tonight. I thought they
showed their true grit.
Grit is what it took because Overfelt erased
a lead that was as big as 10 at one point in the
third quarter. Come the fourth, the Royals
were down 49-44 and a couple of minutes into
the period, they took the lead 50-49.
It was a game of runs, Hickman said. We
started really well, theyd come back. Wed
have another run and theyd come back. We
were just making some stupid plays that did-
nt turn out well. We nally decided to come
together and play some team basketball. Get
some real buckets.
They dont get much more real than the
three in fourth quarter. With 19.4 seconds left
and Woodside down 55-53, Fountain called a
timeout and drew up a Ryan Blocker to
Ryan Yedinak play that worked to perfection
and tied the game at 55.
I thought that was a good hustle play,
Fountain said. We practice that every day and
that is one we actually practiced yesterday.
So, Im not sure if it was good foresight or just
plain luck. Ill take either.
In overtime, the key was defense.
We just wanted to play some solid D,
because we had been making silly fouls, silly
turnovers, Hickman said. It wasnt going to
well. We decided to play solid D and lock
down.
I told them, lets get back to Woodside bas-
ketball, Fountain said of the pre-OT huddle.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Sergio Romo took the mound to
face a hitter for the rst time since sneaking a fastball past
Miguel Cabrera for the nal out of the World Series.
This time, he was facing teammate Pablo Sandoval in
spring training batting practice.
Same result: called strike.
Only a lot less drama.
It was a lot of fun to get out there again, Romo said
Tuesday. It got my competitive juices
going. I wanted to stay focused and be in
the zone.
Romo said watching his teammates let
loose after the last out of each clinching
game the NL West title and the three
postseason series were his top four
memorable moments of last season. He
wants a repeat.
Sure, it was emotional for me at the
moment, he said. But then I was able to
take a step back and watch my team cel-
ebrate. I wanted them to enjoy what we worked so hard to
get. Those are the most gratifying moments to me.
Romo shut his eyes while talking, as though he were
reecting back to those moments. His face contorted, his
hands rolled into sts. He wore a broad smile.
It was sheer euphoria, Romo said. An unbelievable feel-
ing.
After Brian Wilsons season ended last April because of an
elbow injury that required surgery, Romo eventually took
over as closed and saved 14 games in 15 chances during the
regular season.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Romos next step is
learning to deal with the ups and downs that go along with
being the last man on the mound. Sometimes it leads to fail-
ure.
Its going to be an adjustment for him, Bochy said. He
does take it hard. He feels like hes let his teammates down.
Youre going to go through that, and he has to understand it.
We know hes not trying to make a mistake, but it happens to
everybody. You have to put that behind you. When you
bounce back as much as we did last year, you need to be
resilient.
Romo credited most of his success to his teammates belief
in him. His resources are Wilson, who struck out Nelson
Cruz to complete the Giants 2010 World Series over Texas,
and Robb Nen, who won a World Series with the Florida
Marlins and helped the Giants reach Game 7 of the 2002
World Series. Nen has become a Giants instructor.
Brian helped me with little questions down the stretch,
Romo said. It basically came down to: Get your outs and
then go celebrate. Having Nen around last year was huge for
me, just to be able to talk to him.
For Romo, just glancing at his teams dugout or turning
around to look at his elders gives him a lift.
Romos trust in

BERKELEY California coach
Mike Montgomery said Tuesday there
was no excuse for him shoving his star
player during a game and that the action
was completely out
of character for him.
The fact was, I
was wrong,
Montgomery said on
a Pac-12 conference
call Tuesday.
Looking back, you
cant do that.
Montgomery has
been publicly repri-
manded by the Pac-
12 conference and
his own athletic director for pushing
Allen Crabbe with both hands during a
timeout in the second half of Cals 76-68
win over Southern California on Sunday
night.
After initially downplaying the event
by calling it a motivational tactic and
saying he would do it again because it
worked, Montgomery issued an apology
statement later that night and then
expanded on that Tuesday.
Theres no excuse, he said. Ive
been doing this 31 years. Theres no
excuse. I know better. Its totally out of
character for me. I think things have
changed in terms of how you can deal
with kids. Theres a heightened sensitiv-
ity to these kind of things but that does-
nt change it. But theres nothing that
makes it right. I was wrong. You have to
just acknowledge that and push for-
ward.
Montgomery said he called Crabbes
father to tell him he was out of line and
that he will address the issue with his
team at practice later Tuesday.
Montgomery said this incident can be a
learning experience for him and his
players about the scrutiny they are under
and the importance of controlling emo-
tions.
Montgomery said his talk with
Crabbes father was all positive and that
his relationship with his star player is
good. Crabbe said after the game that
emotions were high at the time and
Montgomery was just trying to motivate
him. Crabbe, the leading scorer in the
Pac-12 with an average of 19.8 points,
scored 14 points after the shove and led
the Bears back from a 15-point decit to
win.
To try to mitigate or nd an excuse or
a reason why something like that might
happen, doesnt work right now,
Montgomery said.
Lost in the hubbub from the contro-
versy of the shove Sunday night is the
fact that Cal has been playing its best
basketball of late. The Bears have won
ve of the past six games to get into con-
tention for an at-large bid to the NCAA
tournament and to move into a tie for
fourth in the conference with Arizona
State.
Cal has quality wins over Oregon and
Arizona when both teams were ranked
in the top 10 and gets another shot at the
Ducks on Thursday night when the
Bears begin their weekend trip to
Oregon.
Cal coach says no excuse for shoving player

PHOENIX Bartolo Colon knew he
had failed a drug test for about six weeks
before he got hit with a 50-game sus-
pension last season. He made several
starts for the Oakland Athletics while
knowing he probably wouldnt partici-
pate in the pennant race.
I continued to pitch, but my mind
wasnt good, he said.
Now that Colon is back in the club-
house at spring training with the team-
mates he let down, the 39-year-old right-
hander knows he can only earn peace of
mind and forgiveness by getting back in
top form on the mound.
Colon nally spoke Tuesday about his
season-ending suspension for a positive
testosterone test. Through a translator,
the former Cy Young Award winner with
171 career victories expressed regret for
his past mistakes and hope for his future.
The only thing I can say about last
year is I apologize to everybody, even
the fans, the team, the front ofce about
what happened, he said.
The As organization already has for-
given the veteran starter whose rst sea-
son with Oakland ended prematurely.
Not only did the unlikely AL West
champions re-sign Colon, they gave him
a raise with a $3 million, one-year con-
tract.
I feel loved, because Oakland gave
me the opportunity to come back and be
part of it again, he said.
The Dominican veteran doesnt intend
to call a team meeting to apologize to
everybody. He said hell speak to the As
individually about his past mistake and
their future.
I talked to him beforehand, and I
thought that was the proper way to go
about it, Oakland manager Bob Melvin
said. Hes not a guy that wants to call a
team meeting. Thats not his personality,
but its his personality to deal with guys
individually, and hes done that to this
point. I think hes handled everything so
far to this point very well.
Colon still must serve the last ve
games this season, costing him a turn in
the rotation. Colon is expected to be a
calming veteran presence in one of the
majors youngest starting rotations, but
Oakland has plenty of starting depth
with Brett Anderson, Jarrod Parker,
Tommy Milone, A.J. Grifn and Dan
Straily.
Colon went 10-9 with a 3.43 ERA in
24 starts last season, his 15th in the
majors. He pitched fairly well after
learning of his positive test, going 4-2
after July 1 while presumably not using
banned substances.
The As were frustrated after losing
Colon in mid-August, yet they stuck
with him.

Warriors out of All-Star
gate with loss at Utah
Sharks 2 goals are enough
ST. LOUIS Tim Kennedy and the San
Jose Sharks were happy to end their long win-
less streak.
Kennedy scored on a wobbling shot in the
third period and Antti Niemi made 25 saves to
help the Sharks end a seven-game winless
streak with a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis
Blues on Tuesday.
The seven-game streak was the Sharks
longest since a 10-game run Nov. 5-30, 2005.
Joe Thornton also scored for San Jose,
which began the season with a franchise-
record seven successive wins.
St. Louis has dropped five consecutive
home games for the rst time since losing ve
in a row Dec. 18, 2009, to Jan. 2, 2010. The
Blues also had a three-game winning streak
halted. They were coming off a perfect road
trip with wins in Detroit, Calgary and
Vancouver.
Kennedy scored the go-ahead goal at 13:02
on a shot from the left faceoff circle that elud-
ed goalie Jake Allen, who had won the rst
three starts of his career.
I dont know how that quite went through
him but its a goal, Kennedy said. The
puck came off the wall and I just red it. You
cant score if you dont shoot.
Kennedy scored for the second time in just
three games this season. His uttering shot
seemed to surprise Allen.
It was kind of a knuckler, it sort of wob-
bled on me, Allen said.
The Sharks were 0-for-February entering
the game, including four one-goal losses.
This time, San Jose made the most of a
lucky bounce.
Finally, we got a uke goal that went our
way, Thornton said. It was nice to get out of
a streak like that. Its huge to get back on the
winning side of things.
Niemi improved to 7-2-3. He made 11 saves
in the opening period.
The relief is there, its (nally) over, San
Jose coach Todd McLellan said. Now, we
cant let our game slip.
Patrik Berglund scored his team-high ninth
goal for St. Louis in the rst period. He has
tallied in the past four games, a career best.
Thornton then tied the game early in the
second period jumping on a rebound from
close range.
San Jose, which outshot the Blues 9-5 in the
third period, held St. Louis without a shot for
the rst 12:17 of the nal period.
The Sharks were playing for the rst time
since Friday while St. Louis arrived home at
6:30 a.m. on Tuesday after a 14-hour travel
delay in Vancouver.
Yet the Blues werent using fatigue as an
excuse.
Too many people not pulling their
weight, Coach Ken Hitchcock said. Too
many passengers.
NOTES: Kennedy led all players with ve
shots on goal. ... This was the rst meeting
between the teams since St. Louis beat San
Jose in ve games in the Western Conference
playoffs last season. ... G Jaroslav Halak is
expected to start for the Blues on Wednesday
in Colorado. ... San Jose played the fourth
game of a six-game road trip. The Sharks
return home Jan. 26 to face Colorado.
SALT LAKE CITY Al Jefferson scored
24 points, Gordon Hayward added 17 in his
return from a shoulder injury and the Utah
Jazz defeated Golden State 115-101 Tuesday
night to extend the Warriors losing streak to
six games.
Seven Jazz players scored in double gures
and Utah got 47 points from its reserves.
The Jazz made 10 of 21 3-pointers, includ-
ing three by Randy Foye.
Stephen Curry led Golden State with 29
points, Jarrett Jack had 19 off the bench and
David Lee contributed 18 on 9-of-13 shoot-
ing.
Lees runner and Currys fourth 3-pointer
pulled the Warriors within 93-87 with 9:47
remaining.
Thats as close as they would get.
Paul Millsaps turnaround jumper ignited a
6-0 Utah run and the Jazz held the Warriors to
30 percent shooting in the fourth.
The Warriors were within one point in the
third several times, including 66-65 after
Currys third 3-pointer.
Utah countered with a 15-4 run, with 3-
pointers by Foye and Marvin Williams and
nine more points for Jefferson, who had a
dunk and three-point play in ve minutes to
bump Utahs lead to 81-69 with 3:36 left.
Jacks 9-foot runner with 2.6 seconds left in
the fourth pulled Golden State within 87-79.
Utah led by as many as 12 in the second
quarter only to see Golden State rip off an 8-0
run, with a pair of 3-pointers by Curry sand-
wiched around two more shots by Jack, who
opened 5 of 5.
Utah countered with its own 8-2 run, with
3-pointers by Hayward and Foye giving Utah
a 50-40 advantage.
The Warriors closed the half on a 13-8 run,
shooting 67 percent in the quarter to get with-
in 58-53 at the break.
The Jazz led 26-19 after one despite shoot-
ing just 36.4 percent. It helped that they got to
the free throw line 10 times and made eight.
They shot 33 free throws overall, making
27, compared to 18 of 24 for the Warriors.
Utah led 19-9 seven minutes in as Golden
State opened 4 of 13.
The Jazz second unit, led by Hayward, kept
it going. He checked into the game with 4:35
remaining in the quarter to loud applause after
missing the last 10 games because of a
sprained right shoulder.
Two minutes later, he drove the lane and
took a shot to the same shoulder by Andris
Biedrins. Hayward sank both free throws for a
23-13 Utah lead.
Jack pulled Golden State within 26-19 after
the rst after hitting 3 of 3 shots off the bench.
NOTES: Utah assistant Sidney Lowe was
on the Jazz bench, coaching his rst game
since being arrested over the weekend in
North Carolina for failing to le his state
income tax returns for 2009, 2010, 2011. The
team is referring all legal questions to Lowes
attorney, but head coach Tyrone Corbin said,
We support him wholeheartedly. He under-
stands and has taken responsibility for where
he is in it. Well support him and move on. .
Corbin wouldnt talk specifics about
Thursdays trade deadline, but said, I love
everybody on this team. Love what these guys
bring, love how they stayed focused and try to
get better. . These are Utah Jazz kind of guys.
. Warriors F David Lee was called for a tech-
nical foul with 9:33 left in the second quarter
for arguing a non-call on the defensive end. .
Second-year Jazz G Alec Burks had the drive
of the game, with a twisting reverse layup
over the outstretched arms of 6-foot-11 C
Festus Ezeli late in the third.
SPORTS 14
Mayweather to be the face of Showtime,
Mayweather adviser Leonard Ellerbe told The
Associated Press. Its the ultimate compli-
ment to a ghter like Floyd. They were
aggressive, and the deal that they put on the
table was essentially a deal that you cant
refuse.
Mayweathers rst bout
is against Guerrero (31-1-
1, 18 KOs), the WBCs
interim welterweight
champion. The ght likely
will be at the MGM Grand
Garden in Las Vegas.
Mayweather turns 36 on
Sunday, but the unbeaten
WBC 147-pound champi-
on has shown no signs of
age in the ring. He hasnt
fought since beating Miguel Cotto last May 5,
and he spent two months in jail last summer
after his conviction in a misdemeanor domes-
tic battery case.
He has a renewed motivation to stay active
and to take on everybody out there, Ellerbe
said. When Floyd is more active, hes going
to be beyond untouchable. Hes proved he can
stay sharp with those layoffs in the past, but
hes going to be more active now.
Guerrero beat out several contenders to get
the biggest payday of his career and a long-
awaited shot at his sports biggest name.
Guerrero, from Gilroy, Calif., is a onetime
featherweight champion who hasnt lost since
2005, beating welterweight Andre Berto in a
thrilling ght last November.
On May 4th Im going to shock the world,
Guerrero tweeted.
Ellerbe said Mayweather chose Guerrero as
his next opponent because of his toughness
and crowd-pleasing style.
He denitely earned the right to ght
Floyd, Ellerbe said. He won the
Mayweather sweepstakes, so now he gets to
see what the grand prize is, and when he
opens up that grand prize, its going to be a
can of (tail) whooping.
Mayweather has been on HBO for essen-
tially his entire professional career, which
began after the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
HBO has been the home for nearly all of
boxings biggest stars and biggest fights
over the past three decades.
The pay-cable network has an extensive
array of boxing-related programming along
with hundreds of ghts on its regular network
and pay-per-view arm. Mayweather starred in
HBOs popular 24/7 reality series before
each of his last six bouts, further growing his
celebrity with the four-episode showcases of
his Vegas lifestyle and irrepressible personali-
ty.
We made an aggressive and responsible
pay-per-view offer, HBO said in a statement
from spokesman Kevin Flaherty. Now we
move on. We are focused on the best boxing
franchise in the television business. We are
proud of the roster of superstar ghters and
emerging stars who are scheduled to appear
on the multiple HBO television platforms this
year.
Manny Pacquiao was Mayweathers only
rival for boxing supremacy in recent years
before the Filipino congressmans back-to-
back losses last year.

eligible players has become more well-
dened over the last decade or so as clubs and
player agents have become more sophisticat-
ed in valuing players, MLB senior vice pres-
ident Dan Halem said. That factor, combined
with the relatively recent trend of locking up
pre-arbitration and arbitration-eligible players
to multiyear contracts, probably has con-
tributed to the decline in the number of hear-
ings.
Relatively few big-name stars even led.
Giants pitcher Tim Lincecums nal two sea-
sons of arbitration eligibility were covered by
a $40.5 million, two-year contract agreed to in
January 2012. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher
Clayton Kershaw agreed the following month
to a two-year deal guaranteeing $19 million
that leaves him with just one more arbitration-
eligible season.
Clubs have been more aggressive in recent
years to sign players under control to multi-
year contracts, agent Seth Levinson said, to
not just obtain cost certainty but to also
acquire the nancial benets that are derived
when the players value increases beyond the
salaries actually paid over the term of con-
tract.
Evidence of the change is that the highest
salary awarded in arbitration remains $10 mil-
lion, to Alfonso Soriano in 2006 and to Ryan
Howard and Francisco Rodriguez two years
later Howard was the only winner among
the three.
Conict had been replaced by concord.
I dont think Id draw any trend from zero,
players association head Michael Weiner
said. Its always been the unions view that if
the arbitration system works properly, there
should be no hearings. We should get all set-
tlements. But its unusual for that to happen. I
dont expect that to happen on an ongoing
basis going forward.
The increase for this years arbitration
group was up from 89 percent last year but
down from 123 percent in 2011. In addition to
Posey, big raises were obtained by Baltimore
catcher Matt Wieters (11-fold to $5.5 mil-
lion), Cincinnati pitcher Mat Latos (10-fold to
$5.75 million).
Latos was the only player who even got out-
side the Ellis room the pitcher and the Reds
settled on an $11.5 million, two-year deal
before the hearing before a three-person panel
to was start on Feb. 12.

The ninth-seeded Bears travel to No. 8
Milpitas on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in the sec-
ond round action.
No. 10 Terra Nova took down Del Mar 54-
33 in Division III play.
We played solid defense, said Terra Nova
head coach Kareem Summerville. Today was
more of team win. We made the extra passes
and got some easy lay-ups on the back door. It
was a well-balanced game.
Lynette Mackey led the way with 19 points.
Sophomore Arianna Sheehy scored 15 while
Autumn Ragler added nine. The Tigers travel
to No. 7 Saratoga on Thursday night.
In boys Division III soccer action, Sacred
Heart Prep got two timely headers by Robert
Hellman to overcome a one-goal decit and
beat No. 12 Carmel 2-1.
Carmel opened the scoring in the 28th
minute. But the Gators perservered and broke
through with two big headers.
The Gators are the No. 5 seed in DIII and
will take on either No. 13 Santa Cruz or No. 4
San Mateo in the quarternals.

Start playing with each other. I thought we got
away from that a little bit. And we had to
intensify our defense. I think we did that. I
think the defense really made the difference in
the overtime. It really stepped up I thought.
With the game still tense, Woodside got a
bit 3-pointer by David Lopez midway through
OT to add some distance. The senior guard
nished with six 3s for the game.
David is a pure shooter, Fountain said.
Hes the hardest working team on our team.
We have to encourage David to shoot. Hes
unselsh. Hell pass the ball but we tell him,
you have to shoot the ball. As far as Im con-
cerned, hes got the green light all the time.
Hes that good a shooter.
Woodside had all eight of its players who
saw oor time get on the scoresheet in the rst
half. They started a hot 9 of 14 from the oor
to begin the game but cooled off in the second
period when the Royals made their rst run of
the game.
Hickman nished with nine points. Fellow
senior Blocker scored 14 including four huge
points in the OT before fouling out. Lopezs
point total was 18.

Allen retirement opens
Europe command slot
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama is looking for a new
candidate to
lead American
and allied
forces in
Europe after his
first choice,
Marine Gen.
John Allen,
bowed out
Tuesday and
announced his
intention to retire for what he
called personal reasons.
The move further clouds the pic-
ture for Obama as he repositions
key figures on his national security
team and in key military leadership
roles. The White House is fighting
for Senate confirmation of Chuck
Hagel as defense secretary; a con-
firmation vote was stalled last
week by Republicans but is expect-
ed to happen next week.
Obama also is switching com-
manders at Central Command,
which is responsible for U.S. mili-
tary operations throughout the
greater Middle East, and Africa
Command.
Sunni protesters dig in
as tensions flare in Iraq
RAMADI, Iraq Sunni protest-
ers are camped out in dozens of
tents festooned with tribal banners
on the edge of this one-time Iraqi
insurgent stronghold. They are dig-
ging in and growing more organ-
ized, vowing to keep up their
demonstrations against a Shiite-led
government they feel has left them
behind.
The protesters will seek to bring
down the government if their
demands arent met, warns a
prominent Sunni sheik who once
helped Americans battle al-Qaida
in Iraq. He speaks ominously that
armed militants who once fought
U.S. troops could rally to the
cause.
When we give up hope that the
government can reform itself, we
will call for toppling it, Sheik
Ahmed Abu Risha said in his well-
guarded family compound near the
banks of the Euphrates.
$50 million in diamonds
stolen at Brussels airport
BRUSSELS When the
armored car set off for the Brussels
airport carrying $50 million worth
of precious stones from Antwerps
diamond district, eight gunmen
knew all about it.
One of the biggest diamond
heists in recent memory was about
to go down.
The thieves surely knew it would
be too risky to make their move in
Antwerp, which is the world capi-
tal of diamond-cutting, 43 kilome-
ters (27 miles) from the airport.
The citys diamond industry has
some 2,000 surveillance cameras,
police monitoring and countless
identity controls to protect its $200
million in daily trade of rough and
polished gems.

WASHINGTON The White
House on Tuesday sought to keep
delicate immigration negotiations
on track, as a key Republican sena-
tor distanced himself further from a
draft bill President Barack Obamas
aides are readying in case congres-
sional talks crumble.
Florida Republican Sen. Marco
Rubios ofce said Obamas plan
injected additional partisanship
into an already difcult process.
The White House, following the
weekend leak of its draft legislation,
insisted the president wants the
bipartisan Senate group Rubio is a
member of to put forward its own
bill instead.
Obama spoke with Rubio on
Tuesday to reiterate his commitment
to the Senate process and to make
clear that he had his own legislation
ready, the White House said. The
president also called Republicans
Sens. Lindsey Graham of South
Carolina and John McCain of
Arizona, two other GOP lawmakers
involved in the immigration negoti-
ations.
It is, by far, the presidents
preference that the Senate process
move forward, that the bipartisan
group of eight have success, and
that they produce a bill that wins
the support of Democrats and
Republicans in Senate, White
House spokesman Jay Carney
said.
Senate aides said privately
Tuesday that bipartisan negotiations
are in a good place and they did not
feel as though the disclosure of
details in Obamas draft bill would
disrupt their process. In fact,
Obamas backup bill could end up
spurring GOP lawmakers to rally
behind a congressional plan with
many similarities rather than sup-
port legislation attached to the pres-
ident.
White House tries to keep immigration on track
By Jim Kuhnhenn
WASHINGTON Ten days
before a new deadline for broad,
automatic government spending
cuts, the sense of urgency that sur-
rounded other recent scal crises is
absent. Government agencies are
preparing to absorb an $85 billion
hit to their budgets, and politicians,
at least for now, seem willing to
accept the consequences.
President Barack Obama, back
from a Florida golng weekend,
warned Tuesday that people will
lose their jobs if Congress doesnt
act. But lawmakers werent in ses-
sion to hear his appeal, and they
arent coming back to work until
next week.
Still dividing the two sides are
sharp differences over whether tax
increases, which Obama wants and
Republicans oppose, should be part
of a budget deal.
Obama cautioned that if the
immediate spending cuts known
as sequestration occur, the full
range of government will feel the
effects. Among those he listed: fur-
loughed FBI agents, reductions in
spending for communities to pay
police, reghters and teachers, and
decreased ability to respond to
threats around the world.
So far at least, the ideas that the
Republicans have proposed ask
nothing of the wealthiest Americans
or the biggest corporations, Obama
said at a White House event against
a backdrop of reghters and other
emergency personnel. So the bur-
den is all on the rst responders, or
seniors or middle class families.
Not much urgency to avoid automatic spending cuts
It is, by far, the presidents preference that the Senate
process move forward, that the bipartisan group of eight
have success, and that they produce a bill that wins the
support of Democrats and Republicans in Senate.

hen is a recipe that takes
many hours a fast and easy
recipe? When it takes just
10 minutes of your time to prepare.
Admittedly, this
recipe for roasted
goat isnt week-
night-friendly. But
it is ideal for a
weekend when
you want a bold,
richly avored
dinner that sports
tons of slow-roast-
ed deliciousness
without needing to
spend the day
slaving in the
kitchen.
But rst, we must address the issue of
goat. Plenty of people think its a little
sketchy. But when properly prepared it
is crazy delicious, akin to the best dark
meat turkey youll ever taste. You prob-
ably wont nd it at most mainstream
grocers; farmers markets or ethnic mar-
kets are where to go to hunt down this
dinner. For this recipe, ask for the
shoulder roast, sometimes labeled leg
roast.
In fact, getting the meat probably is
the hardest part of the whole recipe.
Once youve got it, all you do is trim
off any fat, rub it with an herb and
spice blend, then pop it in a Dutch oven
with some carrots and white wine, then
ignore it for several hours (or until the
meat is so tender you can cut it with a
spoon).
If you want to add some roasted pota-
toes to the mix, add 1 pound of lightly
oiled new potatoes to the pot (around
the goat) during the last hour of cook-
ing.
SLOW ROASTED
ROSEMARY LEG OF GOAT
This recipe was written for a 2 1/4-
pound bone-in leg of goat, which will
make about 4 servings. If you cant nd
that size, or need a larger one in order
to feed more people, estimate about 2
hours of roasting per pound. We also
found that using a ceramic Dutch oven
slowed the cooking slightly; a cast-iron
pot accelerated it. Its best to check the
meat about every 30 minutes after it has
roasted for 3 hours.
Start to nish: 4 hours (10 minutes
active)
Servings: 4 servings
3 large carrots, cut into 2-inch lengths
1 medium yellow onion, roughly
chopped
2 large sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves
only
Stewed rosemary goat
that takes 10 minutes
Getting the meat is probably the hardest part of the goat stew recipe.

Vermont hopes syrup grade
changes will sweeten sales
By Dave Gram
MONTPELIER, Vt. Would fancy grade maple syrup by
any other name taste as sweet?
Vermont lawmakers are pondering that question as they con-
sider whether to drop the states traditional maple labeling sys-
tem in favor of an international one.
The change pits tradition versus a desire to be a bigger play-
er in world markets. Vermont is the No. 1 maple syrup pro-
ducer in the United States, but its unique labeling standards
put it at odds with the other big producers, including Canada.
The state Senate last week passed and sent to the House a
measure to drop fancy, grade A medium amber, dark amber
and grade B. (Fancy is the lightest and mildest, while grade B
is the darkest and has the strongest maple avor.) In their place
would be several types sharing a grade A label, with descrip-
Vermonts syrup production has roughly doubled in the past
decade,to the extent that supply vastly exceeds any demand
that would come from a state of about 626,000.

FOOD/LOCAL
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground dried sage
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/4-pound bone-in goat leg
2 1/2 cups white wine
Heat the oven to 425 F. Arrange the
carrots and onion in a Dutch oven.
In a mini processor or spice grinder,
combine the rosemary, garlic, thyme,
fennel, cumin, salt, peppercorns, papri-
ka, sage, coriander and cloves. Grind
until a coarse paste forms, then transfer
to a small bowl. Add the olive oil and
mix to form a loose paste. Set aside.
Use a knife to trim away any fat on
the exterior of the meat. Rub the oil-
and-spice blend thoroughly over the
meat, massaging it into any splits or
separations. Set the meat on top of the
carrots and onions in the pot. Pour the
wine into the pot (not over the goat,
which would wash away the seasoning
rub).
Set in the oven and cook for 30 min-
utes. Reduce the heat to 300 F, then
cook for another 3 1/2 hours, or until
the meat falls away easily from the
bone.

Defense attorney Chuck Smith said he was
disappointed in the sentence, calling the case
a sad, unfortunate situation in which his
client didnt prot a nickel but insurance com-
panies will now receive an extra $2 million.
Prison was never a realistic concern, he said,
but ve years incarceration rather than the
nancial penalty would affect the life of her
husband and three children much less signi-
cantly.
She was given nancial penalties akin to an
inside trader, Smith said. This is unfair and
far beyond the conduct that she committed.
Smith had requested house arrest for Reif
and said the Probation Department recom-
mended the same.
The prosecution was pleased with the out-
come, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Reif has operated the business with her
brother since 2003 as the fourth-generation off-
shoot of the family business, according to the
companys website. The site also notes it has
grown by providing superior service, at a rea-
sonable price, with honesty and reliability for
over 80 years.
Between 2004 and 2009, Reif purchased
workers compensation insurance through
Redwood Fire & Casualty Insurance Company
and the State Compensation Insurance Fund for
her business, Genesis Building Services.
In 2008, the insurance company said it
received conicting data from Genesis staff
about the number of employees and began sus-
pecting it was under-reporting its payroll by
approximately $544,440. Further investigation
by the California Department of Insurance
placed the under-reported amount at
$10,657,776.69 which resulted in Reif avoid-
ing paying $2,957,089.20 in insurance premi-
ums.
The CDI claims Reif misrepresented both the
number of employees and its payroll when
applying for insurance, while insured and dur-
ing annual audits conducted by the carriers.
Genesis allegedly employed more than 140
employees but Reif reported less than half the
staff and gave auditors fraudulent paperwork to
support the false monthly reports.
During a search of the business, investigators
actually found the fraudulent books, according
to prosecutors.
After Reif surrendered to authorities in April
2011, Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones
used the case as an example of what happens to
those who commit fraud.
Business owners should be on notice, egre-
giously under-reporting wages to avoid premi-
um payments will not go unpunished, Jones
said in a prepared statement. These violations
will be fully investigated by my department.
Reif was originally arrested on a $1 million
warrant citing suspicion of 44 counts of fraud
but was later released on her own recognizance.
FRAUD
Vasquez, 59, sister Lucia Aguilar Vazquez, 36,
and friend Teresita DeJesus Moran-Melchor,
18, accepted misdemeanors. Vasquez pleaded
no contest to misdemeanor battery for credit
of time served while the others pleaded no
contest to misdemeanor assault likely to pro-
duce injury. Moran-
Melcher received two
years court probation and
20 days jail and Vazquez
received credit for time
served while in custody on
$50,000 bail.
The four were arrested
after the Oct. 28 incident
which prosecutors say
started when Aguilar con-
fronted the neighbor in front of a Geneva
Avenue apartment complex.
Around 12:30 p.m., Aguilar
allegedly asked the victim what
she said about Vasquez and
punched her repeatedly in
the face. Prosecutors say
the other three joined in
the attack with repeated
punching and kneeing and
Moran-Melchor hit her
several times in the fore-
head with what appeared
to be a ring on her nger.
The victim sustained
fractures, cuts and bruises
but were not as serious as originally thought
which played a role in the plea deal, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Four years previous, Aguilar was connected
to another assault on Geneva Avenue. In the
early hours of Aug. 9,
2008, she and another
woman had a scufe at a 7-
Eleven in Redwood City
and hours later that woman
and Ramon Buenrostro,
21, appeared outside
Aguilars apartment.
Aguilar and several others,
including her 16-year-old
boyfriend Adrian Sedano
who had escaped from a
youth detention camp, confronted them.
Sedano was later convicted of second-degree
murder for stabbing Buenrostro with a kitchen
knife. He received 16 years to life in prison.

Sometimes, even on a weeknight,
you really crave a little dessert. But
making dessert takes time, and you
already are spending time cooking
up the main event, namely dinner.
Thats where this recipe comes to
the rescue. Its a quick, easy and
delicious pear crisp that calls for
just ve ingredients pears, gra-
nola, lemon juice, apricot jam and a
pinch of salt.
Pears are just now at the tail-end
of their season. Yes, I know we can
nd pears all year these days. But
believe me, those specimens are
going to be nowhere near as electri-
fying as a fully-ripened in-season
local pear. The problem is the rela-
tive rareness of such pears. Ralph
Waldo Emerson was onto some-
thing when he wrote, There are
only 10 minutes in the life of a pear
when it is perfect to eat.
In other words, most of the time,
no matter where it comes from, our
pears arent at the peak of perfec-
tion. And for those times, when
pears are unripe and you dont have
time to let them ripen, this recipe
comes in mighty handy. Baking an
unripe pear not only makes it ten-
der, it also crystallizes and magni-
es the fruits avor. Happily, any
kind of pear and there are many
varieties will work in this recipe,
as will a mix of varieties.
Pears also have a lot to offer in
terms of health. Theyre a good
source of vitamin C and a great
source of ber.
As for granola, there are a zillion
brands in the cereal aisle of the
supermarket. The problem is that
many of them are laden with fat and
sugar even as they masquerade
under a healthy halo. Thats why
the recommended portion on the
back of most granola boxes is just
1/4 cup. Pour yourself a normal,
adult-sized portion and you might
as well be tucking into a breakfast
of wafes and sausage.
So when you shop for granola,
look for a brand thats lower in fat,
sugar and calories than the compe-
tition and which also contains
lots of nuts, seeds and dried fruit.
And if you want to bump up the
nutritional value of this recipe even
more, you also could add 1/4 cup of
ground axseed.
With all of that said, I wouldnt
worry too much about the amount
of granola in this recipe. Per serv-
ing, its about what the granola box
recommends, and mostly serves to
put the crisp on this pear crisp.
Heck, youd be much better off
serving this dessert for breakfast
than dogging a big bowl of nothing
but granola.

neering and math. Currently Parkside
operates two programs: Montessori and
a traditional school. The change would
be phased in allowing currently enrolled
Montessori students to nish their time
at Parkside. Parents are taking issue with
being told about the changes to come
rather than being part of the conversation
that led to the decision.
Shawn Fletcher, a Parkside parent who
serves as the Montessori Parent
Committee chair, said the groups goal is
to save the Montessori program. First,
theyd like to be part of the conversation
before any decisions are made.
We just want it to be a fair ght, he
said.
Trustee Ellen Mallory Ulrich said
shes sure a positive solution can be
reached. Ulrich added it is premature to
approve a plan for one magnet school
before the board can give direction on
the vision for all the magnet schools in
the district.
This year the district operates 16 ele-
mentary schools and four middle
schools. Eight of the districts elemen-
tary schools and two of its middle
schools offer magnet programs, accord-
ing to a staff report.
News of a change at the school has
been circulating for months. On Friday,
Feb. 8, parents got a voicemail from the
principal announcing a meeting
Monday, Feb. 11 to discuss changes.
During a special meeting, parents
learned that plans included phasing out
the Montessori program then introduc-
ing the STEM instruction during the
2014-15 school year.
The educational responsibility lies on
the shoulders of the district and school.
The recommendation was made by the
folks who are directly responsible for
student achievement. Parents will be
involved in the next steps of how to
implement a new program and transition
the school to a single focus, said Molly
Barton, assistant superintendent of stu-
dent services.
The original plan was to begin the
phase out in the 2014-15 school year,
she said.
That would have allowed another
Montessori class to start at Parkside in
the fall. However, as applications for the
program were reviewed during the rst
week of February only eight had applied
to the program for kindergarten.
With that small number, we decided
to begin the phase out in the 2013-14
school year. Eight students does not sus-
tain the program, Barton said.
Parents who had applied to the kinder-
garten for the upcoming fall will be put
into the lottery for North Shoreview
Montessori School.
Fletcher argued the program at
Parkside could grow. The North
Shoreview Montessori School often has
a wait list. Those on the wait list could
be offered a place at Parkside sustaining
the program, he said.
Also, Fletcher noted, that the district
has allowed the program to grow in
recent years. Changing the direction
altogether sends mixed messages, he
said.
If approved, next year will be a transi-
tion year but the school will soon start
introducing its STEM focus, which will
include training opportunities for teach-
ers. It would be the rst STEM elemen-
tary school within the district, which
already offers such a program at the
Bayside STEM Academy. The middle
school teachers can help with the transi-
tion, said Barton.
The new, single focus program will
allow more collaborative planning. Also,
it will allow the school to better imple-
ment the new common core standards,
Barton said.
The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb.
21 at the District Ofce, 1170 Chess
Drive, Foster City.
SCHOOL
family residential apartment units, some
live-work units, 17,000 square feet of
commercial space and a parking garage
on six acres of the property. An acre of
the property is committed to a plaza.
The Phase A development agreement
calls for a park fee payment of $4 mil-
lion plus construction, maintenance and
dedication of public access easement for
a .69-acre plaza. The deal calls for ve
moderate, 40 low- and 15 very-low-
income affordable units.
Its one of the last dying breaths of
RDA, Councilman Art Kiesel told the
Daily Journal about the citys effort to
support affordable housing. Were out
of dirt.
The project, Kiesel said, will put a
good face on the city.
It will also generate more property tax
revenue for Foster City, he said.
The Plaza is a four- and ve-story
complex surrounding a ve-story park-
ing garage where residents will park on
the same level as their apartment. There
is a limited retail component on the
ground oor adjacent to the leasing cen-
ter.
The planning for the Pilgrim-Triton
master plan has been in the works for
more than six years and ultimately will
include a total of more than 700 residen-
tial units along with almost 300,000
square feet of commercial ofce space.
The project took three separate prop-
erty owners to join together to turn the
industrial area into a residential com-
munity, said Vice Mayor Charlie
Bronitsky, who expressed pleasure with
the affordable-housing aspect of the
project.
Councilman Herb Perez praised for-
mer members of the council for helping
to bring the project to fruition.
I believe it will serve out community
well, Perez said about the project.
The fourth phase of the project, called
Triton Pointe, is seeking approvals from
the city now. It will include 43,000
square feet of ofce/commercial space
with 166 multi-family residential units
and 5,000 square feet of retail.
PLAZA
tive phrases following: golden color and
delicate taste; amber color and rich taste;
dark color and robust taste; very dark
color and strong taste.
Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, initial-
ly argued against the measure before
reluctantly going along.
We should not be following everyone
else in lockstep and ... giving them the
ability to try to pretend that syrup made
in another state is anywhere near as good
as the syrup made in Vermont, he said.
Mullin later said he was mollied by
assurances that the changes would be
phased in over three years and that pro-
ducers wouldnt have to throw out con-
tainers already printed with the existing
labels.
State Agriculture Secretary Chuck
Ross said the changes have largely been
pushed by the industry, though the
agency has conducted a series of public
hearings to address the concerns of the
more reluctant producers.
Thanks to improvements in technolo-
gy and growing interest by landowners,
Vermonts syrup production has roughly
doubled in the past decade, to the extent
that supply vastly exceeds any demand
that would come from a state of about
626,000, Ross said.
Whats become clear is that the
majority of syrup produced in the state
of Vermont is sold in national and inter-
national markets, Ross said.
Vermont will maintain its distinct
branding by labeling its syrup as coming
from the state. Connoisseurs will contin-
ue to appreciate that Vermont regulations
will continue to require boiling sap for
longer than is the case elsewhere, pro-
ducing a slightly denser product, Ross
said. But to continue using a separate
grading system would lead to consumer
confusion, the secretary added.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Jose S. Talens, Jr.
Case Number 123048
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Jose S. Talens, Jr.. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by Jo-
selito V. Talens, III in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Joselito
V. Talens, III be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: March 04, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you ob-
ject to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state
your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by your
attorney. If you are a creditor or a con-
tingent creditor of the decedent, you
must file your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representa-
tive appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters as provided in Probate Code sec-
tion 9100. The time for filing claims will
not expire before four months from the
hearing date noticed above. You may
examine the file kept by the court. If you
are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing
of an inventory and appraisal of estate
assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250.
A Request for Special Notice form is
available from the court clerk.
