PRESIDENTS ADDRESS TO FOCUS ON WHATS ACTUALLY

Longtime San Mateo city man-
ager Arne Croce is now sharing
his time helping get the corrup-
tion-ridden city of Bell back on its
feet.
Croce, who has 35 years of
experience as a city manager,
served as San
Mateos city
manager for 18
years before
going on to
other roles,
which included
his position as
interim city
manager of
Bell. He recently spoke to the
Rotary Club of San Mateo about
his experiences with the city,
which experienced several years
of misappropriation of public
funds by eight city officials.
Former city manager Robert Rizzo
and his assistant siphoned off
more than $6.7 million before the
public scandal emerged in the sum-
mer of 2010.
Its the rst time Ive been able
to talk about Bell since the story
has concluded, said Croce, 62,
who spent 10 months rehabilitat-
ing Bell. The justice system has
run its course.
The ofcials in the small Los
Angeles County city were con-
victed of their crimes in 2013.
Sentencing is still being awaited
for some though. The case was
described as corruption on
steroids. Councilmembers
received special compensation
for heading districts and pensions
were enriched.

WASHINGTON A House plan
to make major cuts to food stamps
would be scaled back under a bipar-
tisan agreement on a massive farm
bill, a near end to a more than two-
year ght that has threatened to
hurt rural lawmakers in an election
year.
The measure announced Monday
by the House and Senate
Agriculture committees preserves
food stamp benefits for most
Americans who receive them and
continues generous subsidies for
farmers. The House was expected
to vote on the bill Wednesday,
with the Senate following shortly
after.
The compromise was expected
to cut food stamps by about $800
million a year, or around 1 per-
cent. The House in September

Police say shooting
suspect used baby as shield
LOS ANGELES Agunman used his
baby son as a shield while he red at
deputies, who did not return re until
after the mans ex-girlfriend took the
child away from him, the Los Angeles
County Sheriffs Department said
Monday.
The 43-year-old man was hit by mul-
tiple gunshots but was expected to sur-
vive, a department statement said.
The drama that unfolded late Sunday
in unincorporated Willowbrook was
described by sheriffs Lt. John Corina
as a combination love triangle and
attempted suicide by cop.
The suspect confronted his ex-girl-
friends new boyfriend around 10 p.m.
outside a house on East 126th Street
and shot him in the face with a
revolver, then drove off with the 1-
year-old baby, according to the depart-
ment statement, which did not release
any identities of those involved.
Deputies spotted the car and attempt-
ed to stop it, but the driver led them on
a chase that nally ended up back at the
house.
The man stopped his car and got out,
holding the baby in one arm and the
revolver in the other hand, pointing it
at deputies who did not re for fear of
hitting the child, the statement said.
Failing to get into the ex-girlfriends
house through a locked side door, the
man red one shot at deputies, who still
held their re as he tried and failed to
get in through the locked front door and
once again red at deputies, according
to the account.
The ex-girlfriend, who is the babys
mother, nally opened the front door,
took the baby away from the suspect
and went back inside the house.
Once the ex-girlfriend had the baby,
the suspect again pointed his handgun
at the deputies and that is when a
deputy-involved shooting occurred,
the department statement said.
The new boyfriend who was shot at
the outset was taken to a hospital and
was expected to survive.
No deputies were hurt.
76,000 pounds of ribs
burn in highway truck re
LUDLOW A Southern California
freeway smelled like a cookout when a
big rig carrying 76,000 pounds of beef
ribs caught re.
The San Bernardino Sun reports the
rear wheels of the truck ignited Saturday
night on Interstate 40 in Ludlow.
San Bernardino County Fire
spokesman Al Franco says that by the
time reghters arrived, the truck was
unhooked from the trailer, which
became engulfed in ames.
He says the re emanated a wonder-
ful BBQ beef rib odor.
It also shut down trafc for about two
hours.
No one was injured and the cause of
the re is under investigation.
THC-Hawks? Pot puns
pack this Super Bowl
SEATTLE The way Bryan Weinman
sees it, he and his friends already won
their Super Bowl bet.
Two weeks ago, the nightclub DJ and
a few buddies were sitting at a sports bar
in Denver, joking about how funny it
would be if the Seattle Seahawks and
Denver Broncos the NFLteams from
the two states that have legalized mari-
juana made it to the big game.
They decided to plunk down a $44
wager the fee for registering the
Internet domain www.stonerbowl.org
just before the Seahawks and
Broncos won their conference champi-
onships.
It paid off. Theyre now using the site
to hawk T-shirts and hats celebrating
the coincidence. One shirt features the
Vince Lombardi Trophy, reserved for
the games victors, refashioned into a
bong. Another features a spoof of the
leagues logo, with the letters THC
for marijuanas active compound
replacing NFL.
From weed-themed Super Bowl par-
ties to a Denver companys Stoner
Bowl tours of recreational pot shops,
this years Super Bowl offers a twist on
a sporting event better known for its
beer commercials. Thanks to the recre-
ational marijuana laws passed by vot-
ers in 2012, sales of taxed pot to adults
over 21 began at Colorado pot shops
Jan. 1 and are due to begin in
Washington later this year.

A fall election could be what determines
the replacement for a longtime South San
Francisco Unied School District trustee
who recently stepped down due to ongoing
health concerns.
Although Trustee Philip Weise will
already be on the ballot for re-election Nov.
4, and newly appointed member Patrick
Lucy will be up for election, a third space
will now be on the same ballot for Trustee
Shirlee Hochs replacement. Hoch first
became a trustee in 1990 and her resigna-
tion took effect Jan. 1. The board unani-
mously approved Monday having her
replacement chosen by a vote in the
November election.
I think we arrived at the best outcome for
our community, one that ensures we are gov-
erning responsibly and being inclusive in
determining the future composition of our
board, board President Maurice Goodman
said in a press release. A November elec-
tion date affords the largest segment of the
electorate the rightful opportunity to ll the
vacancy with a candidate they best feel will
represent their interests on the Board of
Trustees while, at the same time, minimiz-
ing expense to the taxpayers by avoiding a
costly special election.
The decision to go forward with election
was more of a statutory measure, Goodman
said. The board previously announced its
intention to ll the vacancy through a board
appointment like that of Liza Normandy,
who recently left to serve on the South San
Francisco City Council. Normandy was
replaced by parent Patrick Lucy, who the
board appointed. California Education Code
necessitates that appointment process
being initiated within 60 days of Hochs l-
ing her deferred designation, which occurred
Nov. 18, 2013. Since that 60-day period has
already passed, the board decided it most
prudent and cost-effective to ll the vacancy
during November general election, at the
same time two other board seats would be on
the ballot.
With the replacement of Liza, it was
something we anticipated and we had
already started that process, Goodman said.
The Shirlee thing took us by surprise and it
was not something we were used to. The San
Mateo [County] Community College
District had a similar situation and they
attempted to replace her (Helen Hausman),
then went back to look at other candidates
and it was past 60 days, so they went for-
ward with an election.
Hochs health issues date back to January
2011 when she rst had a stroke. Then in
May 2011, she suffered three strokes in the
same day resulting in brain surgery. Because
of this, Hoch had to relearn to talk and read.
Her left side was also impaired.
There will be no interim to ll Hochs
position until November, said Rolando
Bonilla of Ford and Bonilla LLC, who han-
dles communications for the district.
Superintendent Alejandro Hogan contends
the board continues to aggressively pursue
policies and initiatives aimed at improving
student performance and the districts serv-
ice of students, parents and the South San
Francisco community.
We have much to accomplish this year
and I look forward to continuing to work
with our board and all of our local stake-
holders to advance our mission and prepare
our students for future success, he said in
the release.
The recommendation for an election to l l
Hochs vacancy will now be forwarded to the
San Mateo County Office of Education,
which will ultimately determine when the
vacant seat will be placed on the ballot.
Uber sued for wrongful
death of 6-year-old S.F. girl
The family of a 6-year-old girl killed while
in a San Francisco crosswalk on New Years
Eve intends to le a wrongful-death lawsuit
Monday against the Internet ride-sharing
service company Uber.
The lawsuit to be led in San Francisco
Superior Court on behalf of Soa Liu claims
that Uber and its driver at the time, Syed
Muzaffar, are responsible for the girls death,
the girls family attorney, Christopher
Dolan, said Monday.
Dolan believes it is the rst wrongful-death
lawsuit of its kind against the company.
The girl was crossing the street along with
her mother and younger brother in San
Franciscos Tenderloin neighborhood last
month when they were struck by a Honda
driven by Muzaffar, authorities said.
Police arrested Muzaffar, 57, of Union City,
who they say was logged onto the Uber appli-
cation at the time of the accident. He faces
charges of vehicular manslaughter with gross
negligence and failure to yield to pedestrians
in a crosswalk.
Election could determine vacant board seat

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Much-needed rain will be arriving in the
Bay Area this week, but a forecaster said
Monday that it wont be enough to quell the
regions drought worries.
It doesnt look like its going to be a lot
of rain, National Weather Service meteor-
ologist Christine Riley said.
There will be about a quarter- to one-third
of an inch of rainfall between Wednesday
evening and Thursday morning, she said.
The North Bay and higher-elevation areas
may see up to a half-inch of precipitation.
In the Monterey Bay area, only about a
tenth of an inch of rain is expected. She said
lingering showers may keep minimal
amounts of the wet stuff in the area into
Friday.
Its not going to make any difference at
all, she said, referring to the statewide
drought declared by Gov. Jerry Brown earli-
er this month. Its just enough to water
some lawns.
Riley warned that built-up oil on roads
could make for slick and dangerous driving
conditions once the rainy weather arrives.
Otherwise, she said, its just a really,
really weak winter storm with no strong
winds in the forecast.
The storm is heading in from the Aleutian
Islands and moving southeast toward the
California coast.
This weekend is expected to be dry again
with no sight of rain into next week, she
said.
The Bay Area has been warmer than usual
this month, but temperatures are expected to
drop to normal late-January temperatures
between the low 50s and mid-60s, she said.
Report: Firm provided
wrong bolts for bridge work
VALLEJO AChinese company supplied
hundreds of thousands of bolts of the wrong
size for the seismic retrotting of a San
Francisco Bay Area bridge, according to a
California Senate report.
The 250,000 incorrectly sized bolts were
made by Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry
Co. Ltd. for a retrot of the Carquinez Bridge
to Vallejo, the report says.
The bolts for the Carquinez Bridge were
rejected and remade, but they the led to a near
disaster, according to the report.
An after-hours call to Shanghai Zhenhua
was not answered. Bay Bridge spokesman
Andrew Gordon said the bolts were never used
on the span. We made sure that the correct
bolts were installed, he said.
Matt Rocco, a spokesman for the
California Department of Transportation,
said he wanted to reiterate that the bridges are
safe. The report, released Wednesday, focuses
on the construction of the new eastern span
of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge,
raising questions about the quality of work-
manship used to build the $6.3 billion span.
The problems with the Carquinez Bridge are
mentioned in a footnote that says they led
the California Department of Transportation
to have quality-assurance specialists per-
form an audit of Shanghai Zhenhua before
allowing the company to take on deck and
tower work for the new Bay Bridge.

Residential burglaries are trending in
cities throughout the county and the collab-
oration of several law enforcement agencies
led to an arrest of a woman suspected of mul-
tiple burglaries Monday.
Mekeila Zayas, a 22-year-old San
Francisco woman, was arrested after evad-
ing police and being suspected of at least
two residential burglaries in Millbrae and
San Bruno, San Bruno police Lt. Troy Fry
said.
Burglars tend to hit multiple residences
consecutively and often across city and
county lines. Recently four homes were bur-
glarized in San Bruno in the course of a day,
Fry said.
Multiple agencies are working together
trying to catch these residential burglars
that are breaking into homes and vehicles
all over the county, Fry said.
Mondays arrest spanned across three
cities and involved multiple citizens and
law enforcement agencies.
It started when a Millbrae resident inter-
rupted their home being burglarized and
called police who immediately issued a
countywide alert for three suspects in a
green Honda, Fry said. San Bruno police
were patrolling for burglars when a resident
interrupted a home burglary on Fleetwood
Drive. During that burglary, the resident
reported hearing someone knock on the
door but did not answer. He heard breaking
glass and noticed three people trying to
break into the home, according to police.
Police saw the suspects flee in a car
matching the description of the suspects in
the Millbrae burglary and began to follow it
before eventually losing sight, Fry said.
Shortly after, a Daly City police ofcer
located the vacant car parked in San
Francisco. Zayas eventually appeared and
entered the car, Fry said. While police
attempted to stop the car, Zayas drove off
and a chase ensued, Fry said.
Zayas was eventually apprehended and
booked into San Mateo County Jail, accord-
ing to police.
San Bruno has experienced a recent
increase in residential burglaries with simi-
lar motives and wants the public to remain
diligent in protecting themselves and help-
ing catch criminals.
Theres been a huge increase in [residen-
tial burglaries] in the last few months, but
its not just us. Its all over the place, Fry
said.
The thieves are using similar tactics and
often commit crimes in groups. One famil-
iar tactic is having one suspect knock on
the door to see if anyone is home, Fry said.
If someone is home, they typically come up
with a ruse, such as claiming to be a sales or

Belmont neighborhood
targeted for mail theft
An apparent rash of mail theft has been
reported in the Central Neighborhood of
Belmont, according to police.
The specific areas are Terrance Drive,
Hillman Avenue and Arbor Avenue, and
police have been receiving calls from the
Belmont post office for the past week,
according to police.
Pieces of mail have been found discarded
in the area and it appears whoever is steal-
ing the mail is walking the area, taking the
mail, keeping what they ant and discarding
the rest, according to police.
Mail theft is often the rst step toward
identity theft, according to police.
Police are asking residents to keep a look
out for suspicious people, especially in the
Central Neighborhood. Anyone with infor-
mation on the thefts is asked to call

LOS ANGELES In a packed courtroom,
attorneys unveiled opposing views Monday
on the emotionally divisive issue of
whether California public school teachers
should be protected from dismissal if they
are found to be grossly ineffective in their
jobs.
The opening volleys in whats expected
be a monthlong trial came from lawyers for
nine students seeking to abolish teacher
tenure and seniority, and from attorneys for
the governor, state education department
and teacher unions who say such extreme
measures are not needed.
The evidence will show that the impact
of an effective teacher is profound and unde-
niable, said attorney Theodore Boutrous Jr.
This is the gateway to their success in soci-
ety.
He said he will present experts and studies
showing that achievements in later life can
be measured by interactions with good
teachers.
One study showed that students taught by
ineffective teachers had their lifetime
income reduced by $2 million, Boutrous
said.
The trial, being heard by Superior Court
Judge Rolf Treu without a jury, is the latest
battle in a nationwide trend.
Dozens of states have moved in recent
years to abolish or toughen the standards
around giving teachers permanent employ-
ment protection and seniority-based prefer-
ences during layoffs.
Unions say eliminating such laws would
erase a vital support system for a profes-
sion that is already losing talented people
to higher paid positions in the private sec-
tor.
The rst named plaintiff in the case, 17-
year-old Beatriz Vergara, will testify about
teachers falling asleep in class, sitting and
reading newspapers or playing YouTube
videos while ignoring students, the lawyer
said.
The students oppose the tenure system
they say keeps bad teachers in classroom.
Boutrous said the granting of tenure, which
amounts to lifetime employment protec-
tion, after 18 months on the job is inade-
quate to guard against accepting unqualied
teachers.
He said there are 275,000 teachers in
California but under the current rules, the
state dismisses just 10 teachers a year for
being ineffective in their jobs.
Lawyers for the state and unions coun-
tered that most teachers targeted by such
claims usually resign before dismissal is
necessary.
Central to the lawsuit is the claim that
teachers who fail are shuttled to schools in
minority and poor neighborhoods, giving
those students an unequal education.
Boutrous said that is a violation of the state
constitutions guarantee of education.
Deputy Attorney General Nimrod Elias
told Judge Treu that 18 months is more than
enough time to identify teachers who are
the worst of the worst.
He and attorney James Finberg, repre-
senting the teachers union, said the guaran-
tees of tenure, seniority and other benet s
are necessary to keep teachers in the low-
paying jobs.
Our schools struggle to retain teachers,
he said, noting the challenge is greatest in
high-crime areas.
Elias noted that Gov. Jerry Brown has
made education a centerpiece of his budget
and plans to pour funds into schools in low-
income and minority areas.
Boutrous said Los Angeles Unied School
District Superintendent John Deasy will be
among the witnesses called by the plain-
tiffs.

WASHINGTON No longer
about bold ambitions, this years
State of the Union address will
focus more on whats actually
achievable.
For the White House, that dose
of realism is aimed at avoiding a
repeat of 2013, when a long list of
unfullled policy goals includ-
ing gun control and an immigra-
tion overhaul dragged President
Barack Obama down like an
anchor. Tuesdays prime-time
address will focus instead on
redening success for Obama
not by what he can jam through
Congress but rather by what he
can accomplish through his own
presidential powers.
He is expected to announce
executive actions on job training,
retirement security and help for
the long-term unemployed in nd-
ing work. All are part of the White
House focus this year on boosting
economic mobility and narrowing
the income gap between the
wealthy and the poor.
Another action Obama is
expected to announce is the cre-
ation of a new retirement savings
plan geared toward workers whose
employers dont currently offer
such plans. Because commercial
retirement accounts often have
fees or high minimum deposits
that are onerous for low-wage
workers, this program would
allow first-time savers to start
building up savings in Treasury
bonds. Once the savings grew
large enough, a worker could con-
vert the account into a traditional
IRA, according to two people who
have discussed the proposal with
the administration. Those people
werent authorized to discuss it
ahead of the announcement and
insisted on anonymity.

WASHINGTON The U.S. gov-
ernment is looking at ways to pre-
vent anyone from spying on its
own surveillance of Americans
phone records.
As the Obama administration
considers shifting the collection
of those records from the National
Security Agency to requiring that
they be stored at phone companies
or elsewhere, its quietly funding
research to prevent phone compa-
ny employees or eavesdroppers
from seeing whom the U.S. is spy-
ing on, the Associated Press has
learned.
The Office of the Director of
National Intelligence has paid at
least ve research teams across the
country to develop a system for
high-volume, encrypted searches
of electronic records kept outside
the governments possession. The
project is among several ideas that
would allow the government to dis-
continue storing Americans phone
records, but still search them as
needed. Under the research, U.S.
data mining would be shielded by
secret coding that could conceal
identifying details from outsiders
and even the owners of the targeted
databases, according to public doc-
uments obtained by the Associated
Press and AP interviews with
researchers, corporate executives
and government ofcials.

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

Assad future blocks
progress in Syria peace talks
GENEVA The key issue of a transitional

Assad blocked any
progress Monday in
Syrian peace talks,
described by one delegate
as a dialogue of the deaf.
The chief U.N. mediator
expressed frustration over
inammatory public
remarks by the two sides
as he sought to identify
some less-contentious
issues in hopes of achiev-
ing any progress at all at the bargaining
table. But even the most modest attempts at
condence-building measures faltered
including humanitarian aid convoys to
besieged parts of the central city of Homs and
the release of detainees. Veteran mediator
Lakhdar Brahimi somberly declared at the end
of the day that he had little to report.
There are no miracles here, Brahimi said,
adding that both sides nevertheless appeared
to have the will to continue the discussions.
Egyptian military backs

CAIRO Army chief Abdel-Fattah el-
Sissi, who led the coup ousting Egypts
Islamist president, moved closer to declaring
his candidacy to replace him, securing the
militarys backing on Monday for a presiden-
tial run, due by the end of April.
Though hes riding on a wave of nationalist
fervor touting him as the nations savior to
bring stability, his candidacy is certain to
ename a violent backlash from Islamists.
A run by the 59-year-old el-Sissi, a U.S.-
trained infantry ofcer, would be a new twist
in Egypts tumultuous transition, which
began with 2011 revolt against autocratic

LVIV, Ukrain Young designers, their
eyes glued to a TVset showing live scenes of
protests from the Ukrainian capital, stayed
up late one night to work on a pet project
not a chic gallery opening, but making bat-
tle armor for protesters.
Marianna Kvyatkovska and her friends
used hunks of plastic drainage pipes to craft
shin and elbow pads to protect the demon-
strators from police truncheons in Kiev,
where anti-government protests have gone
on for two months. While largely peaceful,
violent clashes with police broke out last
week in which at least three protesters died.
Although Kiev is the epicenter of the
demonstrations calling for President Viktor
Yanukovych to step down, Lviv is a buzzing
entrepreneurial engine of support.
This western city 300 miles (480 kilome-
ters) from Kiev, near the border with Poland,
is the heartland of Ukrainian nationalism,
where an overwhelming majority of the
people resent Russias former occupation
and current strong inuence. Support for the
pro-Russian Yanukovych is almost non-
existent and residents in this city of
730,000 want their future clearly tied to
Europe.
This is a country that is killing the mid-
dle class, of which I consider myself a part,
said Andrey Kit, owner of an agricultural
business.
Employers in Lviv, known for its thriving
small-business community, have tacitly
encouraged their employees to take part in
the protests. Kvyatkovska, who makes a
living as a tapestry restorer in a local muse-
um, said despite working in a government
institution, her boss was in favor of her
going.

and leave. If the burglars believe the home
is vacant, they will check the perimeter of
the home to nd an unlocked window or door
and sometimes break glass barriers to enter
the property, Fry said.
Its important for residents to avoid
leaving garbage cans out, newspapers on
their door steps or any other signs that
someone might be away from the home,
Fry said. People should ensure all entries
to their homes are locked. Different
types of security measures such as alarm
systems, dogs, surveillance cameras or
light sensors can add further layers of
protection, according to police.
If anyone suspects anything suspicious or
notices a person who seems out of place, they
should immediately contact police, Fry said.
[Burglars] dont limit themselves to one
area, Fry said. The people who do this,
its their job, just like we have jobs, they
get up every day and commit burglaries
every day.

Unemployed
still struggling
Contra Costa Times
W
ith tens of thousands
of jobless
Californians still
struggling to get information
about why theyre being denied
unemployment benefits, its
time for Gov. Jerry Brown to
step in.
The state Employment
Development Department has
gone without a director for more
than half of the past four years.
Since last summer, the rudderless
agency has drifted from one
debacle to the next.
Its long past time for the gov-
ernor to put someone in charge
and then hold that person
accountable. Quick, smart and
radical change is needed to
ensure the jobless receive pay-
ments to which theyre entitled
so they can pay rents or mort-
gages and put food on their
tables.
We understand that the depart-
ment faces significant federal
funding cuts. But theres little
hope that will change. Its time
to find other solutions, other
efficiencies. Punishing the inno-
cent unemployed is not the
answer.
In September, the agency
deployed a new computer system
that led to massive delays in the
processing and payment of
claims. The agency and the proj-
ect contractor misjudged the
number of claims that would be
flagged by the new system and
how long it would take to
resolve their issues.
The fallout continues. The Los
Angeles Times reported this
week that the agency answers
only 10 percent to 17 percent of
its calls. It seems that EDD is
caught in a downward spiral, try-
ing to save money by flagging
more benefit requests for further
information before payment but
unable to handle the flood of
telephone inquiries from those
people seeking answers.
Yes, there are rules and, yes,
they must be followed. But its
cruel to automatically cut off
benefits or deny them from the
start, often without justification,
and then leave people helplessly
dialing for days in a futile
attempt to reach someone for an
explanation.
It not only affects the estimat-
ed 20 percent of claimants who
are flagged for more information,
it also hurts others who cant get
through.
Chief Deputy Director Sharon
Hilliard says the agency is look-
ing at how other states handle
calls and promises an improve-
ment plan by the end of March.
Thats two more months just to
come up with a plan. Then they
will have to implement it.
Thats not only unacceptable,
it dismisses the urgency of the
situation. Unemployed workers
are entitled to up to $450 a week
when they lose their jobs. Its
not much, but its critical money
to help keep households afloat.
Its time for leadership. That
wont happen until the governor
steps up. This mess is on his
watch.
Letters to the editor
Petes Harbor development
Editor,
I applaud the people who are
bringing the proposed new resi-
dential community at Petes
Harbor to the Planning
Commission on Feb. 4.
From an environmental per-
spective, this is a forward-think-
ing, visionary project that
Redwood City needs and should
support. It incorporates build it
green practices for energy and
water efficiency, including recy-
cled water, and offers EV charg-
ing stations, bike and motorcy-
cle parking and spaces for a car-
share program. Public paths, an
extension of the Bay Trail, a
new access point to the San
Francisco Bay Area Water Trail,
new landscaping and trees,
nature overlooks and a storm
water bio-filtration system
this is clearly a vast improve-
ment over the existing site. The
buildings will have an elevation
that meets the sea level projec-
tion for 2070 and work toward
an adaptive management plan
for how to deal with projected
sea level rise all the way through
year 2100.
The developer has worked long
and hard to create a project that
is right for the times, the place
and the people of Redwood City.
I encourage final approval with-
out any further delay.

Editor,
NSA phone data spying (bulk
data) is illegal, says the five
people appointed by the presi-
dent to the oversight board. The
White House disagreed with the
oversight board. The adminis-
tration believes the program is
lawful, according to Caitlin
Hayden.

Success in Tunisia
Editor,
Let us congratulate Tunisia for
enacting a Constitution this
past Sunday through consensus
and the Democratic process. This
new constitution establishes a
civil government, whose laws
are not based on Islamic law,
with strong guarantee for reli-
gious freedom and womens
rights. While our attentions are
focused on troubled places such
as Syria and Egypt, we should
not forget the people of Tunisia
for taking the steps toward dem-
ocratic civil government amid
continuing economic challenges
and regional uncertainty, and
offer moral and material support
as individuals, as businesses or
investors and as nonprofit
organizations.

College Board testing
Editor,
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin,
D-South San Francisco, and state
Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
have only scraped against the
top of the iceberg with legisla-
tion proposed to bring the
College Board to heel (Bill
strives to prevent future testing
issues in the Jan. 25-26 edition
of the Daily Journal).
The College Board tossed out
more than 600 AP test scores
from Mills High School last
May because students were not
properly seated. Thats just plain
wrongheaded. The College Board
is neither an academic institu-
tion nor an assemblage of per-
sons tasked with responsibility
for determining eligibility for
college admissions. The College
Board fancies itself a nonprofit
but, make no mistake, it is a
lucrative business that sells
seats at standardized test ses-
sions to high school students.
SAT exam sessions are convened
several times annually; AP
exams, ostensibly offered to
boost students eligibility for
college admission, are adminis-
tered in the spring. The College
Board has no competition. It
also offers products marketed to
improve scores on their tests.
More to the point, these tests
are simply not a good measure of
a students suitability for col-
lege enrollment. Hundreds of
colleges and universities now
offer a test-optional application
process.
So what would happen if the
College Board scheduled a test
and nobody showed up?
Nothing. Colleges and universi-
ties would use transcripts, rec-
ommendation letters, essays,
interviews, outside coursework,
etc. to select the students best
equipped to succeed in the pur-
suit of higher education at their
respective institutions. I believe
the College Board should be
more responsive to the public it
serves, and the legislation pro-
posed by Messrs. Mullin and
Hill is a positive step in that
direction.

Oppose Assembly Bill 659
Editor,
I join the Turkish American
citizens of California, members
of the Pax Turcica Institute, to
oppose Assembly Bill 659.
Introduced by Assemblyman
Adrin Nazarian, AB 659 seeks to
impose the one-sided and legally
unfounded Armenian genocide
narrative in the history-social
science curricula of our public
schools.
As acts of crime, all geno-
cides, including the Holocaust,
Srebrenica and Rwanda, have
been determined through rele-
vant court tribunals and verdicts.
In contrast, the atrocities in the
Ottoman Empire were never tried
in any court. No legal ground to
charge the crime of genocide was
ever established. Last month, in
a landmark Perincek vs.
Switzerland decision, the
European Court of Human Rights
ruled that genocide is a very
narrowly defined legal notion
which is difficult to prove in
the Armenian case. ECHR also
doubted that there could be a
general consensus on the alleged
Armenian genocide as it
remains a matter of historical
debate.
In 2012, then Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton expressed
the same position. Reputable
American scholars, including
Bernard Lewis, Stanford Shaw,
Guenter Lewy, Justin McCarthy,
Edward J. Erickson and Michael
Gunter, have rejected the charac-
terization of the Ottoman
Armenian tragedy as genocide.
Furthermore, during World War I,
more than half a million Turks,
Kurds and other Muslims were
massacred by the Armenian
armed groups fighting alongside
the Russian, Greek and French
armies, with an aim to carve an
ethnic Armenian state.
While I share the pain of inno-
cent Armenians who perished in
WWI, memories of the non-
Armenian victims are insulted
by this bill. AB 659s advocacy
of a single ethno-religious view-
point and unfounded allegation
of a crime constitutes an unfair
educational malpractice.
Therefore, I urge you to vote
against this bill when it comes
to the floor Jan. 31.

Flaws
Editor,
In writing of the state of edu-
cation in California. Mr. John
McDowell waxes poetic on the
possibilities he envisions in
charter schools, (Thank God for
Mississippi in the Jan. 25
issue of the Daily Journal) with
their alleged freedom from stulti-
fying rules and teacher unions.
Afew facts. Mr. McDowell
states that the Stanford CREDO
study shows that charter schools
do a better job teaching low-
income students, minority stu-
dents and English learners.
However, the CREDO study also
acknowledges that traditional
public schools in the area stud-
ied have up to four and a half
times more students enrolled
who are English learners.
Finland is often cited as a global
model for education, as it was in
the documentary Waiting for
Superman referenced by Mr.
McDowell. Finland also has the
highest rate of unionization of
their teaching force, and main-
tains class sizes of around 20
pupils. Schools are also funded
to provide wrap-around services.
As of 2013, California had
slipped down to 35th in per
pupil spending in the United
States. The passage of new taxes
and a redistribution of funds to
target schools in underprivileged
areas mean better resources are
on the horizon for California
public schools.
Californias passage of
Proposition 30 in 2012 demon-
strated a firm commitment of our
families to the promise of public
education in our state. It seems
to me on the question of school
choice, the voters have spoken.
Lets make every public school
an excellent school.

NEW YORK Stock markets fell
across the globe on Monday, but at
least it wasnt another rout on Wall
Street.
Shaky economies and plunging cur-
rencies in the developing world fueled a
worldwide sell-off as fearful investors
pushed prices lower across Asia and
Europe.
In the U.S. and other rich countries
with healthier economies, investors
also retreated, although the selling was
more modest.
Major indexes in both Hong Kong
and Tokyo fell more than 2 percent. The
selling then spread to Europe and the
U.S., as stocks slipped across the
board, but the declines were much less
than on Friday, when the U.S. market
ended its worst week since 2012.
Jack Ablin, chief investment ofcer
at BMO Private Bank, said he was
encouraged that the U.S. losses were
limited.
We have an accelerating economy,
low ination and accommodative mon-
etary policy, he said. The world isnt
falling apart.
The Dow Jones industrial average
slipped 41.23 points, or 0.26 percent,
to 15,837.88. The Standard & Poors
500 index fell 8.73 points, or 0.5 per-
cent, to 1,781.56. The tech-heavy
Nasdaq was down the most in the U.S.,
falling 44.56 points, or 1.1 percent, to
4,083.61.
The market turbulence was set off last
week by a report from China on a down-
turn in its manufacturing, more evi-
dence that the worlds second-largest
economy is slowing. Thats a big prob-
lem for Brazil, South Africa and other
developing countries that have come to
depend on exports to that country.
Adding to the troubles: The decision
by the U.S. Federal Reserve last month
to scale back its bond-buying stimulus
for the American economy, which has
helped keep interest rates low. Money
that had flooded emerging markets
looking for higher returns outside the
U.S. has begun to come back now that
rates may rise, battering those markets.
Despite Mondays widespread sell-
ing, experts say the troubles in China
and elsewhere in the developing world
are unlikely to derail a global economic
recovery that appears to be gaining
momentum. Growth in the worlds
wealthy economies is expected to pick
up the slack.
This year, growth will be driven by
the dull and old economies the U.S.,
the U.K., Germany and even Japan,
said Nariman Behravesh, chief econo-
mist at IHS Global Insight.
The International Monetary Fund
expects the global economy to grow
3.7 percent this year, up from 3 percent
in 2013, carried along by faster growth
in the United States and the 17 coun-
tries that use the euro. The IMF expects
Chinas growth to decelerate from 7.7
percent last year to 7.5 percent in
2014.
A lot of growth is shifting back to
the developed world, said Jennifer Lee,
senior economist at BMO Capital
Markets.
Compared with a couple of years ago,
the U.S. economy is in a better posi-
tion to withstand a Chinese slowdown.
American consumers have paid down
debts and can spend more freely. The
housing market is recovering from the
depths of the Great Recession.
Helping investor spirits in the U.S.
are decent corporate earnings.
Caterpillar was the biggest gainer in
the Dow on Monday, rising $5.12, or 6
percent, to $91.29, after the earth-
moving equipment maker reported
fourth-quarter net income that easily
beat analysts estimates.
Caterpillar said its sales of excava-
tors and other machinery in China rose
20 percent last year, and it expects more
sales this year. But a slowdown might
dash those hopes.
China is also struggling with $3 tril-
lion in debt run up by local govern-
ments and by the fallout from specula-
tive investments in the countrys
shadow banking system.
Ablin said one of his few fears is
some kind of credit default in China
triggering waves of stock selling
again.
After gains of nearly 30 percent in
the S&P 500 last year, though,
investors in U.S. stocks have been
nervous, selling on any whiff of bad
news.
When they see a little negative
news, they wonder, Is this going to
continue or should I run for the doors?
said Sean Lynch, global investment
strategist at Wells Fargo Private Bank.
Losses in the U.S. eased Monday after
a recovery in the battered currency of
Turkey, one of the flash points of
emerging market troubles. The Turkish
lira initially sank to a low of 2.39 per
dollar, then recovered to 2.29 per dollar
after the countrys central bank said it
would hold an emergency policy meet-
ing, raising hopes it will shore up the
currency.

WASHINGTON Just as Ben
Bernanke prepares to turn the chairman-
ship of the Federal Reserve over to Janet
Yellen, global markets are on edge over
the prospect that shell extend a policy
he began: a steady pullback in the Feds
extraordinary economic stimulus.
Managing a slowdown in the Feds
bond purchases without roiling markets
will pose a tough early test for Yellen,
who succeeds Bernanke as Fed chair
next week. The Feds bond purchases
have been intended to keep long-term
loan rates low to spur spending and eco-
nomic growth.
Investors have been nervous in part
because a pullback in Fed bond buying
will likely mean higher rates.
Borrowing could weaken as a result.
Many also fear that higher U.S. rates
will lead some bond investors to move
cash out of emerging markets and into
the United States to seek higher returns.
That fear has depressed currency values
in emerging economies.
Once the Fed ends its meeting
Wednesday, its expected to announce an
additional $10 billion cut in its month-
ly bond purchases. Last month, the Fed
said it would start reducing its monthly
purchases from $85 billion to $75 bil-
lion. It decided to pull back mainly
because of evidence the U.S. economy
is strengthening and needs less support
from the Fed.
Analysts expect the Fed to stick with
that policy despite the turmoil in over-
seas markets, which has battered the cur-
rencies of Argentina, Turkey, Russia and
other emerging economies. Those
economies had previously enjoyed an
inow of investor money.

WASHINGTON U.S. sales of new
homes fell in December for a second
consecutive month but even with the
pause at the end of the year, sales for
all of 2013 climbed to the highest
level in ve years.
Sales of new homes dropped 7 per-
cent last month to a seasonally adjust-
ed annual rate of 414,000, the
Commerce Department reported
Monday. In November, sales had fallen
3.9 percent.
For the whole year, sales were up
16.4 percent to 428,000, the highest
level since 2008.
It marked the second year that sales
have risen after six consecutive annual
declines as the housing industry was
rocked by the collapse of a housing
bubble. Sales of new homes peaked at
1.28 million in 2005.
Economists said continued job gains
and a strengthening in the overall
economy should help boost sales fur-
ther in 2014.
We continue to be upbeat about the
outlook for new home sales, said Paul
Diggle, an economist at Capital
Economics. Mortgage rates are very
low in a historical context.

SAN FRANCISCO Apples holi-
day season proved to be a letdown,
even though the company sold a record
number of iPhones and iPads during its
latest quarter.
The results released Monday further
crystalized the challenges facing
Apple as the worlds most valuable
company struggles to lift its stock
back to where it stood in September
2012. That was before investors began
to fret about ercer competition in
mobile devices and the lack of a break-
through product since the iPad came
out nearly four years ago.
Apples management amplified
those concerns with a revenue forecast
that fell below analysts predictions
for the current quarter. The cautious
outlook is likely to feed perceptions
that Apple expects to lose more ground
to competing devices running Google
Inc.s Android software.

Poll: Breaches not changing peoples habits
NEW YORK American shoppers say they are very
concerned about the safety of their personal information
following a massive security breach at Target, but many
arent taking steps to ensure their data is more secure, says
a new Associated Press GfK Poll.
The poll nds a striking contradiction: Americans say
they fear becoming victims of theft after the breach that
compromised 40 million credit and debit cards and per-
sonal information of up to 70 million customers. Yet they
are apathetic to try to protect their data.
In the survey, nearly half of Americans say they are
extremely concerned about their personal data when shop-
ping in stores since the breach. Sixty-one percent say
they have deep worries when spending online, while 62
percent are very concerned when they buy on their mobile
phones.
But just 37 percent have tried to use cash for purchases
rather than pay with plastic in response to data thefts like
the one at Target, while only 41 percent have checked
their credit reports. And even fewer have changed their
online passwords at retailers websites, requested new
credit or debit card numbers from their bank or signed up
for a credit monitoring service.
Legg Mason paying $21M
in government settlements
WASHINGTON Asubsidiary of investment rm Legg
Mason Inc. has agreed to pay about $21 million to settle
U.S. government claims that it concealed losses to
investors and engaged in prohibited transactions that
favored some clients over others.
The settlement with Western Asset Management was
announced Monday by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Labor Department. The agencies said
Western Asset didnt disclose and quickly correct a com-
puter coding error that caused losses for holders of about
100 employee-benet retirement plans. They said most
clients were notied nearly two years later, in 2010.
The government said the Pasadena-based Legg Mason
unit also improperly moved securities among client
accounts.

Fall ball on the College of San Mateo
baseball diamond has been all about compe-
tition.
Every pitch, every swing, every ground
ball, heck, every stride on the base path has
been charted, assessed a point total and
quantied for every Bulldog to see on a big
board the following day.
If that seems like a pressure-packed way
of selecting the best starting lineup and
pitching staff its because that has always
been the idea for manager Doug Williams
and his staff.
Yes, the big scoreboard up over the left
eld fence isnt necessarily keeping score.
But that doesnt mean another type of scor-
ing hasnt been kept. And come today
against the College of Marin in the season
opener for the Bulldogs, the rest of CSM
and its baseball fans will know exactly
whos come out on top.
I think this team is an interesting
group, Williams said. I really like the way
they practice, how they compete. Weve
completely turned our practices into com-
petitive environments where everything
that is being done is being charted and
adding up to a point total and they
responded well to it. I got a bunch of guys
that like to play baseball, like to get after
it. I think well have decent team speed, I
think well be fairly offensive and I think
were going to throw the ball in the strike
zone pretty consistently.
It was actually a different sort of fall camp
for the Bulldogs, who were without
Williams as he served a sabbatical in Italy
supporting the countrys baseball academy
and national team. Williams returned in
early December and the evaluation process
heightened.
It was still a very competitive atmos-
phere with Doug gone, said CSM second
baseman Dane Vande Guchte. We worked
hard to get to where we are right now. There
are a lot of new faces. But I think we mesh
pretty well. We all know we have a job to do
and are going to do it to the best of our abil-
ity trying to get this thing done.
The thing about this years CSM baseball
team revolves around youth as in, there
W
hile it seems the football season
and Christmas ended only a cou-
ple weeks ago, this week marks
the halfway point of the basketball and
soccer seasons.
As such, the standings are starting to
shake themselves out. While there are some
familiar teams near the top, there are also a
few surprises leading the pack.
Boys basketball
No big surprises in the Peninsula Athletic
League divisions. Burlingame and Half
Moon Bay defending South and North
division champions, respectively are
both sitting in rst
place with undefeated
league records.
The Cougars have a
little more breathing
room, however. Their
win over second-place
Terra Nova Friday
gives them a two-game
lead in the standings.
The race for the South
Division title is a bit
tighter, as Hillsdale is
just a game behind
Burlingame, following
the Knights win over Aragon Friday night.
Working in the Knights favor are the
vagaries of the PAL schedule, which sched-
uled only one game this season Feb. 5
in Burlingame. If both teams take care of
business, that game could determine
whether the Panthers can win yet another
division crown, or if Hillsdale can forge a
tie atop the table.
In the West Catholic Athletic League,
Serra may be the surprise of the division.
Having lost three starters and a key reserve
from last season, the Padres were going to
lean heavily on guards Danny Mahoney and
Sean Watkins.
So far so good. Serra is tied atop the
WCAL standings with a 6-1 record, tied
with Mitty for the best record. The Padres
only loss was to Mitty, in a game they led
in the fourth quarter.
Mahoney and Watkins have all but willed
the Padres to the top and if the team can
nd a consistent third scoring option, they
could be even more dangerous going into
the playoffs.
Stop me if youve heard this before, but
Sacred Heart Prep and Menlo School are,
once again, battling for the West Bay
Athletic League title. The Gators already
have a leg up on the Knights, beating them
last week on a pair of last-second free
throws in the rst meeting of the season.
The rematch will be in a week or two and
the title could be decided then.

The legend of Brian Houle at Hillsdale
High School began when he was a fresh-
man.
And it revolves around the number 50
as in, points.
Its been four years since Houle went off
during a frosh/soph basketball game but
the now forwards scoring output that one
afternoon in 2010 is still a topic of con-
versation because it was then that Houle
showed the Hillsdale basketball world that
he and twine have a special kind of rela-
tionship.
Its for that reason that no one is sur-
prised Houle is in the middle of one of the
best scoring seasons, not just in the
Peninsula Athletic League, but the entire
Central Coast Section there arent too
many players out there who can say
theyre scoring an average of 23 points
every time they step onto the basketball
court.
Junior year, I think he was kind of try-
ing to nd his way, said head coach Brett
Stevenson. But man, his senior year, hes
the complete package. He can shoot from
3, he puts the ball on the oor and nishes
at the rim, hes getting to the free throw
line and shooting a lot of free throws
which is a sign of his toughness. He n-
ishes games in the fourth quarter. Hes the
whole package right now.
The argument can be made that, right
now, Houle is having a Player of the Year
kind of season for the Knights in a divi-
sion full of Player of the Year kind of play-
ers. Not only is he doing it all for Hillsdale

SAN FRANCISCO Tim Flannery
received a heartfelt thank-you voicemail
from Bryan Stow, who struggles to put
thoughts and words
together nearly three
years after being severe-
ly beaten outside Dodger
Stadium on opening day
2011.
Flannery, the San
Francisco Giants third
base coach and musician,
presented the Stow fami-
ly with $96,000 during
the weekend to help with
Bryans care as the father of two and former
paramedic continues to deal with traumatic
injuries and brain damage from the attack.
And more money is still coming from
recent silent auctions and further CD sales.
Flannery and his band, The Lunatic
Fringe, just concluded a series of four sold-
out Northern California concerts beneting
Stow, while all dollars from purchases of
Flannerys 11th album, Outside Lands,
released in November, go directly to Stow.
That was, for me, kind of a gamble.
People always say, Well, why dont you
just write a check? I always say, Well, I
only hit nine home runs in my 10-year
career, I cant just write a big check,
Flannery said by phone Monday. I did write
a check, I wrote a check that produced a new
record. ... Im just playing the music. Im
doing the same thing I always do. For peo-
ple to come and just continue the love, its a
great, great honor.
As part of the large donation presented
Saturday night, Giants reliever Jeremy
Affeldt contributed $25,000 to match
Flannerys initial total and former Giants
great turned instructor Will Clark wrote a
$10,000 check.
I dont think we could even begin to
explain how much the efforts of all the peo-
ple involved mean to us, Stows sister,
Bonnie Stow, wrote in an email Monday.
Theyre all busy people, with their own
lives going on, yet they take the time to put
on these shows to help Bryan. Its like
thank you just isnt enough. Even when
hes not playing these shows, Tim stays in
touch with our family and sends his love to
Bryan continuously. Hes amazing.
Flannery presented Bonnie Stow with the
envelope of money before his show
Saturday in Santa Cruz, where the Stow fam-
ily lives and where Bryan is now cared for
by his parents, Dave and Ann.
She kind of went quiet and both of us
kind of broke down and just held each other
for a while, Flannery said. I told her all
the people who wrote checks and all the
people who brought their gifts, everybody
loves you and everybody loves your fami-
l y.
Flannerys band dedicated the song You
Have My Word to Stows parents. Flannery
received a photo Sunday from the family of
the couple holding hands during that song
while on a rare evening out.
It felt like this is a great opportunity to
let the family know that people still are
thinking about them. More than anything it
allows them to know that people still care,
people still think about them, Flannery
said. That has always been the story,
everybody else showing up and giving of
themselves. I play the music. It inspires me
to just keep doing it. Its not that difcult
for me doing what I always do.
In all, Flannery held 24 concerts during
the baseball offseason.
As he told his music crew and support staff
of the success, We went 24-0.

even when her own performance nearly goes
unnoticed.
Ogwumike had 30 points and 12 rebounds
to lead No. 4 Stanford to an 86-59 victory
over Southern California on Monday night
in a game between the Pac-12s top teams.
Ruef added 11 points and 10 rebounds for
the Cardinal (19-1, 8-0), who won their
18th straight to open a two-game lead at the
top of the conference standings.
I think what happened last year was that
we depended on Chiney too much, said
Ruef, one of ve Cardinal players to score in
double gures. If other people are scoring,
they cant double off me or the guards and
that means we can nd Chiney even more.
Ogwumike, third in the nation in scoring,
had at least 30 points for the 10th time this
season, adding to her Stanford record. She
also recorded her 15th double-double.
I keep telling people this, Ogwumike
said, my teammates are the No. 1 reason I
can nish.
Amber Orrange and Lili Thompson scored
12 points apiece, Karlie Samuelson had 10
and Stanford beat the Trojans for the 13th
straight time.
I thought we did a good job on defense,
Cardinal coach Tara VanDerveer said. This
is a team that focuses on defense. I like to
say we are a scouting report team. We try to
take away another teams strengths.
Ariya Crook scored 18 points and Cassie
Harberts added 17 for USC (14-7, 7-2),
which had won four straight and nine of its
last 10. The loss was in overtime at then
No. 23 Arizona State.
One of the big changes is on defense,
Trojans coach Cynthia Cooper said. We
didnt show it tonight, but for the last
month or so we have been playing solid
team defense.
The closest USC got in the second half
was when Kaneisha Horn hit a jumper with
17:26 remaining in the game, cutting
Stanfords lead to 50-34.
Nine minutes and 12 points from
Ogwumike later, the Cardinal were up by 28
points, their largest lead of the game.
We still have to do a better job of
rebounding, VanDerveer said. We need to
be more aggressive grabbing the ball. We
need to continue to improve our guard play.
Stanford used a 14-0 run to lead 46-28 at
halftime.
Deanna Calhoun hit a jumper with 10:15
left in the rst half to bring the Trojans
within 23-20.
USC went cold for the next seven minutes,
missing 11 consecutive eld goal attempts
and two free throws as the Cardinal built a
37-20 advantage.

SAN JOSE Anze Kopitar broke a long
scoreless drought for Los Angeles and
Jonathan Quick earned his third shutout of
the season to help the Kings snap a ve-
game losing streak with a 1-0 victory over
the San Jose Sharks.
Kopitars goal late in the second period
ended a stretch of more than 154 minutes
without a score for the Kings, who avoided
their rst six-game skid since December
2007. They did it with defense as Quick
needed to make only 23 saves, stopping a
urry in the nal seconds to seal the win.
The game ended a streak of 15 straight
games between the California rivals that
were won by the home team, including all
seven contests in last years second-round
playoff series won by the Kings. Los
Angeles had dropped nine straight in San
Jose since winning Game 5 of a rst-round
series in 2011 and had not won a regular sea-
son game here since Dec. 27, 2010.
Alex Stalock made 20 saves for the
Sharks, who had won six straight games.
But he got little offensive help as San Jose
got just nine shots the rst two periods and
came up empty on three power plays to lose
at home in regulation for just the third time
all season.
The Kings broke their scoreless drought
late in the second period on a nifty move by
Kopitar. Brent Burns deected a pass from
Jeff Carter to a streaking Kopitar. But
Kopitar still managed to gather it and
stopped just outside the crease to make
Stalock commit before tucking it into the
net to give Los Angeles the lead with 2:05
remaining in the second period.
The goal was the rst for Los Angeles
since Kopitar scored early in the rst period
of a 2-1 loss at Anaheim last Thursday
night, ending a scoreless stretch of 154:43.
It also ended Stalocks franchise-record
scoreless streak at 178:55 for San Jose.
The Sharks, limited to seven shots at that
point, generated more pressure after falling
behind with Quick making a good save
against Bracken Kearns and San Jose draw-
ing a late penalty against Willie Mitchell.
But the Kings killed off that penalty that
carried over into the third period.
They negated another power play when
Joe Thornton was called for hooking 16 sec-
onds into Slava Voynovs cross-checking
penalty and then got a strong save from
Quick against Joe Pavelski midway through
the third to preserve the lead.

SAN FRANCISCO The San
Francisco Bulls, an afliate of the
NHLs San Jose Sharks, folded
operations Monday after failing to
complete a change in ownership
that they hoped would sustain the
ECHL organization established in
October 2012.
The Bulls nished their partial
season 15-20-5 with 32 games
remaining. They made the playoffs
in their inaugural season.
CEO Angela Batinovich
announced last week that the ECHL
commissioner and Board of
Governors granted the teams
request during its midseason meet-
ing for additional time to complete
negotiations for a new ownership
group which ultimately didnt
happen.
The team said it would provide
refunds for tickets via email
requests through Feb. 28.
Sharks general manager Doug
Wilson said the ve players who
had NHL or AHL contracts on the
Bulls will be reassigned to new
teams in the near future. Goalie
J. P. Anderson and forward
Sebastian Stalberg have NHL con-
tracts, while defensemen Kyle
Bigos and Steven Tarasuk and for-
ward Riley Brace have AHL deals.

LOS ANGELES UFC President
Dana White is thrilled by the
Association of Ringside
Physicians call for the elimina-
tion of testosterone replacement
therapy in mixed martial arts.
White still believes the UFC
cant be solely in charge of elimi-
nating steroid users from its
bouts, saying government athletic
commissions should close the TRT
loophole permanently.
The doctors came out and said
they want to ban it? Well, thats
the answer, White told The
Associated Press on Monday. Its
legal in the sport. The commis-
sions let you do it. You get an
exemption, and you have to be
monitored and all the stuff thats
going on, but if theyre going to
do away with it? There you go. Its
a problem solved.
The ARP is an association of
ringside doctors involved in box-
ing and MMA the so-called
combat sports. The organizations
consensus statement calls for the
elimination of therapeutic use
exemptions for testosterone, a
thorny issue in MMA circles for
years.
Steroid use of any type, includ-
ing unmerited testosterone, sig-
nicantly increases the safety and
health risk to combat sports ath-
letes and their opponents, the
ARPs statement said. TRT in a
combat sports athlete may also
create an unfair advantage contra-
dictory to the integrity of sport.
Several UFC ghters in recent
years have been given exemptions
by athletic commissions to use
synthetic testosterone before their
bouts, including veteran stars
Chael Sonnen, Dan Henderson,
Vitor Belfort and Frank Mir. The
exemptions were granted ostensi-
bly for medical reasons, including
a supposed deciency in naturally
occurring testosterone caused by
hypogonadism a diminished
function of the gonads.
Well before the ARP added its
influential voice to the chorus
against TRT, many medical profes-
sionals have questioned the legiti-
macy of such exemptions, particu-
larly for professional cage ght-
ers.
The incidence of hypogo-
nadism requiring the use of testos-
terone replacement therapy in pro-
fessional athletes is extraordinari-
ly rare, the ARPs statement said.
Accordingly, the use of an ana-
bolic steroid such as testosterone
in a professional boxer or mixed
martial artist is rarely justied.
White knows the UFCs next
showdown with TRT use is immi-
nent, and he hopes the Nevada
State Athletic Commission wont
grant an exemption to Belfort,
who is scheduled to ght Chris
Weidman for the middleweight
title in Las Vegas later this year.
The 36-year-old Belfort, who
failed a steroid test in Nevada sev-
eral years ago, has improbably
revitalized his career with three
spectacular stoppage victories in
his native Brazil. Belfort knocked
out the 43-year-old Henderson
with a head kick in the rst round
last November in Goiania, Brazil,
earning a title shot.
Belfort has been open about his
TRT use for the past year, while
Henderson has acknowledged it for
several years.
He drives me crazy, and me and
Vitor were not on good terms a few
months ago, White said. Just
because this whole TRT thing, I
think, is unfair, and I said were
going to test the living (day-
lights) out of him (during train-
ing). And we have, and he has
complied, and he has been within
the limits hes supposed to have.
Although the UFC tests its
ghters when they sign contracts
and adds additional in-house test-
ing before certain ghts, White
said hes wary of completely step-
ping in front of government regu-
lators on the issue. When the UFC
stages ght cards in areas with no
appropriate athletic commission,
the promotion acts as its own reg-
ulator.
We couldnt be more proac-
tive, White said. Drugs hurt us.
Hurts our sport. Let alone our per-
ception in the media and every-
thing it destroys great athletes.
Drugs destroy great athletes,
because once you start on them,
you can never get off them. Youre
on them for the rest of your
career.
Other prominent fighters
believe the UFC should be doing
more.
Georges St. Pierre, the UFCs
longtime welterweight champion
before stepping away from the
sport late last year, re-ignited the
public discussion of drug testing
in MMA earlier this month with
criticism of the UFCs current test-
ing policies, calling them ineffec-
tive and beatable. St. Pierre
believes performance-enhancing
drugs are still a major problem in
MMA.
Tim Kennedy, a rising UFC mid-
dleweight and former Army Green
Beret, hailed Mondays statement
from the ARP in a post on his
Twitter account: So the
Association for Ringside
Physicians supports elimination
of TRT in MMA, the ghters want
it gone. Only the cheaters want to
keep it.

The NHLhas not decided whether
to let its players participate in the
Olympics beyond this year, cast-
ing doubt on who will be compet-
ing for hockey gold in four years.
With the league set to push
pause on its season for next
months Sochi Olympics, Deputy
Commissioner Bill Daly also is
allowing for the possibility of a
security issue that could keep the
players from traveling to Russia at
all.
As of now, we do not doubt that
all necessary steps are being taken
by the Sochi Organizing
Committee, the Russian govern-
ment and the IOC to ensure the
safety of the athletes and guests in
Sochi, Daly wrote Monday in an
email to The Associated Press.
Obviously, if something signi-
cant were to transpire between
now and February 9 that causes us
to question that conclusion, we
will re-evaluate. I dont expect
that that will become necessary.
Russian security has been look-
ing for three potential female sui-
cide bombers, one of whom is
believed to be in Sochi. The coun-
try has assembled what is believed
to be the biggest security opera-
tion ever for an Olympics with
more than 50,000 police and sol-
diers.
The NHLPA continues to be in
contact with Olympic and security
ofcials regarding plans for the
Olympic Games in Sochi, and will
work closely with all concerned to
monitor matters in advance of and
during the Games, NHL Players
Association spokesman Jonathan
Weatherdon wrote in an email.

but, most importantly, hes carried the
Knights to a 5-1 mark in the South Division
only one game behind Burlingame with a
gigantic matchup between the two teams
looming on the calendar.
In three games last week, Houle averaged
those 23 per and led the Knights to a 3-0
mark.
For his efforts, Houle is the Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
Hes driving the train, Stevenson said.
And the nice thing is, when he is having a
bit of an off night and he hasnt had
many he certainly has the aspect in his
game where he can nd teammates. He can
draw that defensive attention, hit that open
guy and if the shot is not falling hes com-
mitted to getting to the free throw line and
getting those easy ones. So, were counting
on him. Hes our guy.
And without a doubt the Knights are lucky
to have him. On Monday of last week, he
poured in 26 points against St. Elizabeth
High School. He then followed that up with
24 points in a win over Carlmont.
But, while he only scored 19 against
Aragon last Friday, that win against the
Dons was probably his most complete
effort of the week. Although he scored fewer
points, his defensive efforts in that win
helped shut down a usually potent Dons
offense.
He denitely anchors our front court,
Stevenson said. Were primarily a zone
team but were pretty active in our zone. He
really has the ability to kind of shut down
the side, he knows how to close out and con-
test pretty well. Whats most impressive is
he really rebounds the position. We dont
have to outlet with him on the rebounds. He
just goes. Hes just as tough defensively
which is why I think hes an interesting
prospect for teams at the next level. He can
do it on both sides of the oor.
And Stevenson expects Houles work
ethic and drive will carry the Knights for the
rest of the season.
Hes a gym rat. Hes a smart kid. Hes a
3.5 GPA student and that translates to the
basketball IQ side of things, he said. He
really worked hard in the off season to ele-
vate his game. He added the ability to put
the ball on the oor and nish and, once he
did that, hes a hard guard.

ATHLETE
are a lot of freshmen on this squad. While
that isnt unusual on a community college
baseball team, the Bulldogs chime in at a
little above average. Thus, the 2014 season
begins with more than its fair share of
uncertainty at least on the preview
front. That said, the word Williams repeated
a lot during his annual preseason press con-
ference was depth.
We have a whole bunch of guys that have
the opportunity to step up and play when
the games start, he said.
That will be the most obvious on the
pitching staff, where all but two of the
pitchers are freshmen.
We had huge turnover, Williams said. I
think its going to be a lot more, total-staff
contributions this year than in past years.
Tim Gretter (Capuchino) and Skyler Fuss
are the two with Bulldog experience.
I think we have a lot of guys who are
willing to be role players and do what they
can do to help the team, Fuss said. And
they understand that. We have the guys that
are willing to take the sacrices and take
their roles and were not going to have any
problems.
Much like the pitching, the theme of
youth is very prevalent in the CSM outeld
where only Kailen Robinson returns after a
fairly successful first year with the
Bulldogs.
We have options and there are different
ways we can go with the lineup, Williams
said with direct reference to the outeld. I
do like our outeld in terms of covering
ground, arm strength, different things we
can do with personnel in terms of potential
power to potential speed. Its truly and it
may sound a little ambiguous right now
but it truly is an ongoing competition. We
have always operated on the belief that its
good for raising the bar. You have to look at
it that way and the guys are.
CSMs ineld is about the surest part of
the team, on paper it has three players
who saw playing time last season and
another who is transferring from Santa
Clara University in Matt Glomb. Expect
Vande Guchte to be the glue of not just the
ineld, but the entire Bulldog team. The sec-
ond baseman hit .305 last year and drove in
20 runs.
Im just going to play my role, Vande
Guchte said. Im not a power hitter. Im
going to try and get my on-base percentage
up, steal bases and just try to lift up the
team.
This is certainly a fun group to watch,
Williams said, because they do truly com-
pete and I think that competition has
allowed each of them to reach another
level.
The rst pitch of the 2014 season is
scheduled for 2 p.m.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. The names are
hardly as familiar as Peyton Manning and
Richard Sherman. Yet, for all the megastars
and All-Pros in this Super Bowl, there are
guys like Jermaine Kearse and Paris Lenon.
Like Michael Robinson and Terrance
Knighton. Malcolm Smith and Manny
Ramirez.
Players who have gone from pretty much
nowhere on the NFL landscape to the
doorstep of a championship.
Perhaps no one is more grateful for the
opportunity to grab a ring than these men.
Some are veterans who t the term journey-
men. Some are youngsters who went in late
rounds of the draft or were ignored alto-
gether.
All recognize they will play some sort of
role in Sundays championship game.
Some might even sneak into a starring
part, the way running back Tim Smith did in
1987 or cornerback Larry Brown did in
1996.
You never know who it might be, said
Knighton, the massive defensive tackle
coming off a sensational AFC champi-
onship game performance.
Knighton could be the poster child for
players who graduate from the depths of the
NFL I did my four years in
Jacksonville, he said to the top of the
pro football ladder.
Hes been practically unblockable in the
last few weeks, rising from obscurity to
recognizability as a leader of an improving
defense.
Well I think thats naturally going to
happen when youre in the middle of the
defense and youre the anchor of the
defense, the 335-pound Knighton said. I
feel like Im a natural leader; I think wher-
ever I am, people just gravitate towards me,
and with that it requires a responsibility to
help other guys and bring them along.

of the PAL South Division standings. What
is somewhat shocking is seeing Hillsdale
keeping pace with the Vikings.
The two are currently undefeated in PAL
South play, although that will change
when the two face off Wednesday night in
Millbrae. The Knights have set up this
showdown by handing Carlmont its only
loss of the season last week.
In the North Division, Westmoor took
its rst step toward a second straight divi-
sion title after beating South City Jan. 17
to take a one-game lead in the standings
over the Warriors.
The Rams currently sit alone atop the
North Division standings, with South City
a game back.
The Warriors will get their chance at
revenge Feb. 7, but cant afford a slip in
the meantime.
In the West Bay Athletic League,
Pinewood is, once again, the cream of the
crop. The Panthers (5-0 WBAL Foothill
Division) sit alone in rst in the WBAL
Foothill Division and everyone else is
playing for second. Menlo School current-
ly occupies that spot, along with Eastside
Prep, both a game back. But Pinewood
handed each their league loss. Sacred Heart
Prep is struggling a bit at 1-3.
In the Skyline Division, Mercy-
Burlingame is two games back of rst-
place Castilleja, while Crystal Springs is
still looking for its rst WBAL win.
Notre Dame-Belmont is also winless,
playing in the West Catholic Athletic
League, arguably the toughest league in
Northern California, but the Tigers remain
one of the top teams in the county.
Boys soccer
Things can change quickly in soccer
standings as the combination of wins,
losses and ties all factor into it. Acouple
of key wins or losses can rocket a team up
or down the standings.
Alook at the PAL Bay Division stand-
ings show Woodside on top with a 4-0-1
record, while Half Moon Bay is in fourth
place at 3-3. While that may look like
three games in the L column, Woodside
currently has 13 points (three points for a
win, one point for a tie), while Half Moon
Bay has nine points. AHalf Moon Bay win
and a Woodside loss would nearly draw
them even.
In the Ocean Division, South City took
control with a dramatic 3-2 win over
Hillsdale Wednesday. Both teams were
undefeated in league play going into the
game and the Warriors left that way.
The Warriors have no time to take a
breather, however, with El Camino and
Hillsdale in hot pursuit.
Serra, which may be the best team on the
Peninsula, is only two points behind Mitty
in the WCAL standings, while Sacred Heart
Prep and Menlo School battle for WBAL
supremacy.
Girls soccer
Carlmont has a slim lead over both
Menlo-Atherton and Woodside in the Bay
Division, while Terra Nova remains unbeat-
en in the Ocean, with Half Moon Bay three
points behind.
Things can change quickly, however, and
upward of ve teams are still in the mix in
the Bay, and an equal number in the Ocean.
Notre Dame-Belmont is, once again, tak-
ing their lumps in the WCAL, but have
some of the Peninsulas most dynamic
players in Jessica Parque and Luca Deza.
Sacred Heart Prep and Menlo School bat-
tle for the WBAL Foothill Division title.
Kings Academy, with a 3-3 record (nine
points), is within shouting distance. In the
Skyline Division, Harker, Mercy-
Burlingame and Crystal Springs are bat-
tling it out, but the Gryphons chances
took a big hit with a 6-5 loss to Mercy, a
game in which Crystal Springs led 4-1.

EAST RUTHERFORD Legislation for
federal funding to help protect student ath-
letes from concussions got the National
Football Leagues backing Monday in the
shadow of the stadium where the Super Bowl
will be played this weekend.
NFL Senior Vice President Adolpho Birch
joined two New Jersey lawmakers in support
of legislation drafted following the 2008
death of a New Jersey high school football
player.
The proposal by Sen. Robert Menendez
and Rep. Bill Pascrell involves national
concussion guidelines currently under
development for schools and youth sport
programs by the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. The legislation
would authorize a 5-year grant program to
bring those guidelines to school sports pro-
grams nationwide.
The bill would authorize $5 million in
rst-year funding, with additional funds to
be provided as necessary for the remaining
four years. It would be used to help states
train athletic staff and help ensure schools
have adequate medical staff coverage and can
implement the CDC guidelines expected to
be established by next year.
Birch, the NFLs senior vice president of
labor policy and government affairs, joined
the lawmakers for a news conference at an
East Rutherford high school a little over a
mile from MetLife Stadium, which will host
the Super Bowl on Sunday. Several student
athletes from the Henry P. Becton Regional
High Schools Wildcats football squad a
few of whom spoke about concussions suf-
fered during play joined them at the podi-
um.
In the NFL, player health and safety is a
priority for us, Birch said. But we need to
be clear that its not just our players who
were thinking about, and who were worried
about, its all players, its athletes at all
levels, in all sports. We believe that youth
sports should be a particular focus.
The NFLs support for the legislation
comes as it tries to settle a lawsuit by thou-
sands of its former players over its handling
of concussions. The two sides have negoti-
ated a proposed $765 million deal to settle
thousands of lawsuits consolidated in feder-
al court in Philadelphia. Amid concerns the
fund may not last the promised 65 years,
plaintiffs lawyers are preparing for a fair-
ness hearing expected sometime this year.
Sen. Menendez said federal funding was
needed at the school sports level to ensure
that every child who takes the eld is prop-
erly protected and that their parents have
peace of mind.
The Contact Act was drafted following the
October 2008 death of Montclair High
School football player Ryne Dougherty.
The 16-year-old Dougherty suffered a brain
hemorrhage and died after his family said he
was prematurely returned to action follow-
ing a concussion.
The Contact Act hasnt been enacted, but
Pascrell said he hoped the CDC guidelines
and the NFLs endorsement would help get it
passed.
They were a reluctant partner in the
beginning, Pascrell said of the NFL.

BETHESDA, Md. Forget being sneezed
on: Government scientists are deliberately
giving dozens of volunteers the flu by
squirting the live virus straight up their
noses.
It may sound bizarre, but the rare type of
research is a step in the quest for better u
vaccines. It turns out that how the body
fends off inuenza remains something of a
mystery.
Vaccines are working, but we could do
better, said Dr. Matthew Memoli of the
National Institutes of Health, who is lead-
ing the study that aims to infect up to 100
adults over the next year.
Wait a minute: Flu is sweeping the coun-
try, so why not just study the already sick?
That wouldnt let scientists measure how
the immune system reacts through each step
of infection, starting with that rst expo-
sure to the virus.
Its not an experiment to be taken lightly.
After all, the flu kills thousands of
Americans a year. For safety, Memoli chose
a dose that produces mild to moderate symp-
toms and accepts only volunteers who
are healthy and no older than 50.
And to avoid spreading the germs, partic-
ipants must spend at least nine days quaran-
tined inside a special isolation ward at the
NIH hospital, their health closely moni-
tored. Theyre not released until nasal tests
prove theyre no longer contagious.
The incentive: About $3,000 to compen-
sate for their time.
I received a very scolding email from my
mother about signing up, Daniel Bennett,
26, said with a grin.
Their standards are so high, I dont
believe Im in danger, added Bennett, a
restaurant worker from College Park, Md. I
dont get sick that often.
Amasked and gloved Memoli had Bennett
lie at for about a minute.
It will taste salty. Some will drip down
the back of your throat, Memoli said,
before squeezing a syringe lled with mil-
lions of microscopic virus particles, oat-
ing in salt water, into each nostril.
Sure enough, a few days later Bennett had
the runny nose and achiness of mild u.
The best defense against inuenza is a
yearly vaccine, but its far from perfect. In
fact, the vaccine is least effective in people
age 65 and older the group most suscep-
tible to u probably because the immune
system weakens with age.
Understanding how younger adults bod-
ies ght u may help scientists determine
what the more vulnerable elderly are miss-
ing, clues to help develop more protective
vaccines for everyone, Memoli explained.
Heres the issue: The vaccine is designed
to raise peoples levels of a particular u-
ghting antibody. It targets a protein that
acts like the virus coat, called hemagglu-
tinin the H in H1N1, the strain that
caused the 2009 pandemic and that is caus-
ing the most illness so far this winter, too.
But its not clear what antibody level is
best to aim for or whether a certain
amount means youre protected against get-
ting sick at all, or that youd get a mild case
instead of a severe one.
As mind-boggling as it is, we dont
know the answer to that, said Dr. Anthony
Fauci, chief of NIHs National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases. We made
some assumptions that we knew everything
about u.
Just targeting hemagglutinin probably
isnt enough, Memoli added. Already, some
people in his study didnt get sick, despite
remarkably low antibody levels, meaning
something else must be protecting them.
Could it be antibodies against the N in
flus name, the neuraminidase protein?
Specic T cells that are activated to ght
infection? Genes that switch on and off
when a virus invades?
To begin nding out, Memoli rst devel-
oped a laboratory-grown copy of the H1N1
u strain and sprayed different amounts into
volunteers noses until he found the right
dose to trigger mild u. He hopes eventual-
ly to test the harsher H3N2 strain, too.
Now hes infecting two groups people
with low antibody levels and those with
high levels. Some were recently vaccinated,
and some werent. Hell compare how sick
they get, how long theyre contagious and
how the immune system jumps into action.
Want to get the flu? Volunteers sneeze for science
The best defense against inuenza is a yearly vaccine, but its far from perfect. In fact, the
vaccine is least effective in people age 65 and older the group most susceptible to u
probably because the immune system weakens with age.

coastside.
There is the neon orange safety vest
thats denitely staying, he said and requi-
site hard hat. Adolls head found during a staff
community cleanup day, much like the base-
balls sitting next to the rocks from Norway
and Greenland. And in the corner, perhaps the
piece de resistance of Petersons push to get
county residents to embrace reusable carriers:
the bag man suit.
The suit, a white zipup with 500 plastic
bags attached, represents the average number
of sacks used by a Californian each year.
Peterson has climbed into the outt several
times hes not one to ask staff to do what
he wont whether it be outreach at a city
council meeting or giving residents a visual
idea of environmental impacts. Most people
are interested once they learn what the suit
represents. But there are drawbacks.
Children cry and dogs are scared,
Peterson said.
When Peterson leaves in March, the suit is
staying behind as is its successor, the plastic
bottle suit.
Filling the void, if not the suit then at least
the county job, will be nonprot work,
kayaking with the Monterey Bay National
Marine Sanctuary and some mild handiwork.
Peterson, 51, said he will miss the day-to-
day surprises of heading a department with so
many facets.
You never know what it will be when you
pick up the phone, he said.
What he wont miss is the personnel mat-
ters. Plus, retiring now lets him narrow his
focus more closely to the type of environ-
mental passions like pollution prevention
and Bay preservation that placed him on the
road toward the hat hes held since the 1980s.
Peterson was born just outside Billings,
Mont., and majored in chemical engineering
on the advice of a high school physics
teacher who said it would give him more
options than a civil engineering degree if he
didnt love environmental work. The choice
was ironic considering Peterson spent time
protesting oil drilling on Indian land and
taking aim at big companies like Chevron.
Interviews with those companies for jobs
usually ended in arguments and no offers, he
joked.
But an opportunity with the U.S. Navy in
San Bruno drew Peterson to the Peninsula in
1985 and he fell in love both with the area
and eventually and a fellow worker in the
environmental field who he married.
Petersons responsibilities were managing
underground storage tanks and air monitor-
ing. He learned about regulations and was
able to craft policy hands-on and learn how
big companies think handy skills years
later when faced with opposition like the
plastic bag lobby.
A1988 job posting for a hazardous materi-
als specialist with the county proved fortu-
itous although Peterson had a three-year plan
of staying before leaving for the private sec-
tor. He did so, joining a consulting rm in
Martinez which sparked that realization
about public service. Thankfully, the county
had yet to hire his replacement when he came
knocking back on its door.
In the years since, Peterson said environ-
mental health has expanded into areas that
overlap with public health and enveloped
some needs that dont necessarily fall under
that heading in other counties like restaurant
inspection. He said hes learned to be a little
more savvy with the media earlier inter-
views about restaurant code violations had
him illustrating one case as raining cock-
roaches and the rats are pregnant. Another
gem? Arestaurant was Club Med for bacte-
ria.
The attorneys didnt care for that much, he
recalled.
He also learned that for opponents of some
issues like global warming and plastic bags
or theories about radiation contamination
due to the Japanese nuclear plant meltdown,
there is no convincing them otherwise.
Traitor to the human race is one memorable
label Peterson said he was given.
In September 2011, Peterson and his
department also were given a completely
unexpected and some might say Herculean
task: the cleanup of a San Bruno commu-
nity after the deadly gas pipeline explosion
and re that killed eight, injured dozens and
leveled a signicant portion of a neighbor-
hood. Peterson, who had just gotten home,
put away the just-opened bottle of wine and
went to work. The task was daunting for
about 10 minutes, he said, but he and his
team focused, called in contacts with state
agencies and began guring out how to make
the neighborhood safe and eventually ready
for rebuilding. The department had some
cleanup experience in the past with a
Redwood City lagoon and three landlls but
nothing was quite like San Bruno.
Unlike other county departments that may
focus primarily on the unincorporated areas,
Environmental Health crosses boundaries in
large part because individual cities do not
have their own divisions. That is part of why
the department took the lead on funding the
plastic bag environmental impact review for
the countys cities plus a few in Santa Clara
County.
The next widespread environmental chal-
lenge he sees is cigarette butts.
Now, more than 25 years after that San
Mateo County job posting, Peterson is pack-
ing up his ofce and looking forward to his
next challenges. But rst there are still a few
things on his to-do list like tweaking the
countys existing massage ordinance and
getting cities to sign off on an agreement for
a new animal shelter.
His interest is also still piqued by news of
environmental health challenges like the
recent water contamination in West Virginia.
The rst thought is thank goodness that did-
nt happen here, he said. Then comes the
wondering of how his department would han-
dle it if it did. Then lastly, questions of how
to prevent it from even occurring by making
sure policy is in place and routine inspec-
tions are completed.
Its a reminder that what we do every day
makes a difference, he said.

RETIRE
passed legislation cutting 5 percent from
the $80 billion-a-year program. The House
bill also would have allowed states to
implement broad new work requirements
for food stamp recipients. That has been
scaled back to a test program in 10 states.
The Democratic-led Senate had twice
passed a bill with only $400 million in
annual food stamp cuts, and had signaled it
would not go much higher. The White
House had threatened to veto the House
level of food stamp cuts.
The final bill released Monday would
cost almost $100 billion a year over five
years, with a cut of around $2.3 billion a
year overall from current spending.
Committee aides said they were still wait-
ing for final numbers from the
Congressional Budget Office to assess
exactly how much the bill would cost.
Republican House leaders said they
would support the deal. After wavering for
several years, the GOP leaders were seek-
ing to put the long-stalled bill behind
them and build on the success of a biparti-
san budget passed earlier this month.
Leaders in both parties also were hoping to
bolster rural candidates in this years
midterm elections.
Still unclear, though, was how
Republicans would get the votes they
needed to pass the final bill on the
House floor. The full House rejected an
earlier version of the farm bill in June
after conservative Republicans said cuts
to food stamps werent high enough
and that bill had more than two times
the cuts than those in the compromise
bill announced Monday.
Some of those conservatives were cer-
tain to oppose the lower cuts to food
stamps, along with many of the farm sub-
sidies the bill offered.
While many liberal Democrats were
expected to vote against the legislation,
saying the food stamp cuts were too high,
Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Okla., chairman of
the House Agriculture Committee, and his
Senate counterpart, Sen. Debbie Stabenow,
D-Mich., have attempted a balanced bill to
attract votes from the more moderate wings
of both parties. They have touted the bills
overall savings and the elimination of a $5
billion-a-year farm subsidy called direct
payments, which are now paid to farmers
whether they farm or not.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Memo to the
White House: The website may be
fixed, but President Barack Obamas
new health insurance markets have
yet to win over most consumers.
Negative perceptions of the health
care rollout have eased, a new
Associated Press-GfK poll finds. But
overall, two-thirds of Americans say
things still arent going well.
Of those whove tried to sign up, or
who live with someone who has, 71
percent have encountered problems.
But the share reporting success
jumped to 40 percent from a meager
24 percent in December.
Everything is not perfect; it takes
time to work out the glitches, said
Carol Lyles, a homecare provider
from Los Angeles who was able to get
coverage as a result of the law. If
done right, I believe it will provide
the services that are needed.
The poll comes with about 60 days
left in open enrollment season. The
administration is playing catch-up to
meet its goal of signing up 7 million
people in new insurance exchanges
that offer subsidized private coverage
to middle-class households. So far,
the markets have attracted an older
crowd that tends to be more costly to
cover. Younger people in the coveted
18-34 age group are still mainly on
the sidelines.
While the poll did not find a turn-
around for Obamacare, the trend
offers some comfort for supporters of
the health care law.
In December, 76 percent of adults
had said the opening of the new mar-
kets was not going well. Such nega-
tive perceptions have now fallen 10
points to 66 percent.
Still, rave reviews remain rare.
Only 4 percent said things were
going extremely or very well, while
another 17 percent said things were
going somewhat well.
Compare that to 38 percent who
said the rollout had gone not at all
well. Another 28 percent said things
were not going too well. Add those
together and it makes up two-thirds
of the public.
People were locked out of the sys-
tem, said Karyle Knowles, a restau-
rant server from San Antonio. They
werent able to access what they
should have, which only added to the
mayhem.
The White House had hoped to
bring the ease of online shopping to
the daunting process of buying
health insurance. Instead, the federal
website serving 26 states froze up
when it was launched Oct. 1. Some of
the 14 states running their own sites
also encountered problems. It took
the better part of two months to
straighten out the issues with the fed-
eral exchange.
The administration reported Friday
that 3 million people have now
signed up for private coverage
through federal and state markets, and
another 6.3 million have been
deemed eligible for Medicaid cover-
age. Its not clear how many of those
were previously uninsured.
According to the poll, many web-
site users have had a frustrating expe-
rience. Among those whove tried to
sign up, just 8 percent say it worked
well, 29 percent somewhat well, 53
percent not well.
The publics take on the law itself
is stable, with 27 percent saying
they back it, 42 percent opposed and
30 percent neutral. Those figures are
unchanged since December.
People who have tried to sign up
are more positive than the overall
public 46 percent say they back
the law, 31 percent oppose it.
But among the uninsured generally,
theres a more even divide, with 30
percent saying they support the law
while 33 percent oppose it.
The major elements of the health
care law took effect with the new
year. Virtually all Americans are now
required to get covered or risk fines.
Insurers can no longer turn away peo-
ple with health problems. And the
exchanges are open for business.
Poll: Negative view of health rollout eases
By Larry Neumeister
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWYORK The top executive of
a New York City-based Bitcoin compa-
ny and a Florida Bitcoin exchanger
have been charged with conspiring to
commit money laundering by selling
more than $1 million in Bitcoins to
users of the black market website Silk
Road, authorities said Monday.
Charlie Shrem, 24, the chief execu-
tive officer of BitInstant and vice
chairman of a foundation that pro-
motes the Bitcoin currency system,
was arrested Sunday at New Yorks
Kennedy Airport, and Robert Faiella
was arrested Monday at his Cape
Coral, Fla., residence, prosecutors
said.
Faiella and Shrem conspired to sell
more than $1 million in Bitcoins to
criminals who wanted to sell narcotics
on Silk Road between December 2011
and October, U.S. Attorney Preet
Bharara said in a release.
Truly innovative business models
dont need to resort to old-fashioned
law-breaking, and when Bitcoins, like
any traditional currency, are laundered
and used to fuel criminal activity, law
enforcement has no choice but to act,
Bharara said.
Over the objection of prosecutors,
U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry B.
Pitman allowed Shrem to be released
on bail, though he required him to sub-
mit to electronic monitoring and live
with his parents in Brooklyn.

get from that intersection warrant
whats in the best interests of the citi-
zens safety.
Perez wants the City Council to dis-
cuss additional pedestrian and bicycle
safety measures and has the support of
former mayor Pam Frisella and residents
who have contacted him after Fridays
accident.
At 6:49 a.m. Friday, the girl was walk-
ing in the crosswalk of Port Royal
Avenue and Edgewater Boulevard when
she was struck and seriously injured by a
woman driving a BMW, according to
Foster City police Capt. Joe Pierucci.
As of Monday, the girl was still in the
intensive care unit at Stanford Medical
Center with signicant injuries but is
expected to survive, Pierucci said.
Perez and Frisella live a few blocks
from the site of the accident and the dan-
gers of this intersection have troubled
them for years.
There are guidelines and equations used
to gauge the appropriateness of a stop
sign or signal light in a particular loca-
tion. Speed limits, vehicle and pedestri-
an trafc rates and other factors are con-
sidered, Frisella said. Those guidelines
had previously prevented the install-
ment of safety devices along Edgewater
Boulevard, but accidents such as this
highlight the need for ofcials to focus
on safety and not codes, Frisella said.
It should be all about safety, not
about what the law says but I think
we should forget those laws, forget
those codes, Frisella said.
Its odd that the busier Edgewater
Boulevard doesnt have a stop sign
while Port Royal Avenue does, Perez
said.
The road with the least amount of
trafc, the least amount of cars has a
stop sign. While the road with the most
cars and a 40 mph speed limit has no
stop signs, Perez said.
He crosses the intersection daily and a
gymnastics facility, martial arts school,
tutoring centers, a childrens hair salon,
a church and Foster City Elementary
School are all nearby, Perez said. The
city has attempted to improve safety on
Edgewater Boulevard, but it hasnt been
enough, Perez said.
Its a crosswalk that has slow down
painted, its got a watch for pedestrian
sign and thats not slowing people
down, Perez said. At what point do we
decide its an important enough issue for
us? At what point are we going to deal
with this?
Its unfortunate that tragic accidents
enticed action in this case and in previ-
ous ones, Frisella said.
Afew years ago, citizens asked for a
stop sign at Beach Park and Foster City
boulevards but it wasnt until a car
struck a child on a bicycle that one was
nally installed, Frisella said.
Police have conducted sting opera-
tions, posing as pedestrians and writing
tickets in an attempt to deter drivers
from failing to adhere to pedestrians in
the crosswalk. Perez said he also seen
one driver stop to let a pedestrian pass
while another in the next lane nearly
struck the pedestrian, Perez said.
Mayor Charlie Bronitsky said he
expects the issue will be placed on a
future council agenda for discussion.
Although he would not comment on the
issue of street safety, Bronitsky wrote
in an email he believes the council
always has and I believe will always
place the highest value on the safety of
people in Foster City.
Collision rates in the city decreased
by about 10 percent in 2013 and, of the
39 injury collisions, only four involved
pedestrians, Pierucci said. Both drivers
and pedestrians need to be hyper cog-
nizant of their surroundings, Pierucci
said.
We can never assume that a driver
sees a pedestrian. Its indicative that
there be some sort of eye contact before
we step out in a roadway, especially dur-
ing early morning hours and late at
night, Pierucci said.
Pedestrians can have a false sense of
security that they have the right of way
when in a crosswalk, but unfortunately
thats not always the case. Whether
someone is driving, walking or biking,
people should remember their actions
have effects, Frisella said.
Im angry. Im not angry at our
police department or our planning
department, Im angry that people are
just not paying attention. Im angry
that people will not take personal
responsibility for human beings,
including themselves, Frisella said.
Both pedestrians and drivers need to
protect themselves and abide by laws,
Perez said.
I dont underestimate the importance
of personal responsibility on both the
behalf of pedestrians and motorists.
However the ultimate responsibility
lies with the motorist to be cognizant of
the trafc situation, Perez said.
The investigation is still ongoing so
city ofcials would not comment on
case specics. But Perez believes there
was inattentiveness on at least one, if
not both, parties.
Whether people are distracted, com-
muting during poor vision conditions
or simply just failing to abide by the
law, the council and city need to do
everything they can to protect citizens
welfare on the road, Perez said.
Ive heard enough from the trafc
committee on this issue, I believe this
is a matter for the council, Perez said.
In cases of public safety, I tend to defer
to more restrictive then less restrictive.
Were talking about lives and personal
safety.

birthday and returned from a trip to
Kosovo and I told my wife I was trying
to gure out what to do when I grew
up, he said. While Bell may be
extreme, its not unique. It was com-
pletely foreign to me in my career in
city government though.
In 2011, he was asked to assist with
recovering Bell, which had been com-
pletely dismantled by the former gov-
ernment. The city had controlled all
activities and manipulated and man-
aged elections.
Stealing money was the least dam-
aging thing they did, Croce said.
They did a systematic dismantling of
the civic system and there was no way
for people to get access to city govern-
ment. There were no more committees
and there was an absence of traditional
service groups; there was no Little
League or AYSO.
He noted city ofcials kept an air of
poverty to hide the corruption. City
employees were encouraged not to
dress very nicely.
The carpet (at City Hall) had not
been cleaned in 15 years, he said.
Thats not a metaphor.
Left in the wake of the scandal were
citizens unused to process, Croce had a
difcult job in transitioning the city
and building a foundation for the gov-
ernment. When he came to the city,
there were many vacant positions,
which needed to be lled including
chief of police and community devel-
opment director positions.
They had developed a cult-like envi-
ronment, he said. They had a charis-
matic leader who took care of you if you
worked for the city. Some staff told
me, many of us wept when Mr. Rizzo
was arrested because we couldnt imag-
ine such a good man would do some-
thing like this.
But, as things unraveled, they felt
betrayed. Rizzos crimes themselves
unraveled with hubris and miscalcula-
tion, Croce said. Rizzo was about to
retire within a year, he said.
The fun part of the job was that I got
to assemble a dream team of interim
department heads to get Bell back on
track, he said. We brought the com-
munity in to do civic training, devel-
oped job descriptions, recruited city
managers, came up with new contracts
and lowered outrageous property tax
assessment rates.
There was quite a bit of community
engagement and education, he said.
Sky-high building permit fees were
lowered and other changes were made.
A lot of progress was made, he
said. Theyre still getting over the
hangover of audits and lawsuits. It
was the only city I was aware of that
used armed police ofcers to come pay
for business licenses. They
have a long way to go; it is a
divided community.
The rst election since the
revolution, as Croce calls it,
took place in March 2013.
Most cities are worried
about the future, but in Bell,
divisions fall on how do we
reconcile and deal with the
past, he said. It really was a
fascinating experience, but
Im sorry the citizens of Bell
had to go through what they
did.
Now, Croce is the execu-
tive director of Peninsula
Family Service, a nonprot
that provides skills and
resources for children, fami-
lies and older adults in San
Mateo and Santa Clara coun-
ties.
Its great to be back in the
San Mateo community,
working for a nonprot with
a rich history of helping
families along the
Peninsula.
