Although the governors
drought declaration is less than a
month old, San Mateo County
farmers and ranchers have been
struggling with dry conditions
for years and are fearful it will
continue.
Agricultural workers in the
county rely on water sourced
from wells, rainfall and reser-
voirs that capture from creeks or
ponds. The drought is acutely
daunting to those who are at the
mercy of the weather, said John
Muller, a Half Moon Bay coun-
cilman and farmer.
I dont think theres too many
farmers in this
world that dont
wake up in the
middle of the
night not wor-
rying about
growing condi-
tions or weath-
er conditions, Muller said.
Often when a crop is out of sea-
son, a farmer plants cover vege-
tation to capture moisture, deter
erosion and put nutrients back
into the soil, Muller said. Poor
soil quality can affect whats
grown for years and hell proba-
bly purchase fewer seeds and har-
vest less produce, Muller said.
The Westland Water District
serves approximately 600,000
acres of agriculture lands in the
San Joaquin Valley. Because of
the drought, about 200,000 acres
may be fallowed this year and
there will be less produce, Muller
said.
Thats huge. Thats frighten-
ing to think of that, Muller
said. There could definitely be a
spike in food costs. Cattleman
are having to sell their cattle,
dairy farmers are worrying about
fee costs. Its a huge chain reac-
tion that impacts all of us in
America. California does produce
a major portion of our food prod-
ucts for America and the world.

DENVER IS DOMINATED

San Mateo County is 52 mil-
lion meals short of meeting its
need a 10 percent increase
from the previous year and the
situation is looking more dire due
to food stamp cuts and the
drought.
The 2012 Hunger Index, which
measures the difference between
the need for food and the ability
of individuals to receive it, found
that the 47 million missing
meals in 2011 jumped to 52 mil-
lion in 2012. In that same peri-
od, food assistance increased
from 40 million meals to 44 mil-
lion meals.
The increasing divide is worri-
some, said Kathy Jackson, CEO
of Second Harvest Food Bank,
but the data should be tempered
by noting that it comes from
2012 rather than today or even
last year. The economy overall is
in a better position but Jackson
said signs of improvement like
housing and rental increases
ironically can make life tougher
for those struggling to make ends
meet.

Reptile consignment
intercepted in South Africa
JOHANNESBURG A large ship-
ment of reptiles smuggled from
Madagascar and destined for the exot-
ic pet trade in the United States were
confiscated in South Africa, said ani-
mal protection activists.
An estimated 1,600 reptiles and
amphibians were discovered during a
routine inspection at Johannesburgs
international airport, said South
Africas Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals said in a state-
ment Friday.
Geckos, frogs, chameleons,
skinks, lizards and toads, many of
which are endangered species, were
tied up in small muslin bags, or
crammed into overcrowded plastic
tubs for approximately 5 days before
they were discovered. Many of the
animals had already died.
The animals, bound for the U.S.
from Madagascar, were left unattend-
ed in the cargo area when flights to
the U.S. were cancelled. The surviv-
ing reptiles were taken to the
Johannesburg Zoo for treatment,
according to local news reports.
Dead Puerto Rico boxer
posed standing in the ring
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico Even in
death, Christopher Rivera Amaro
almost looked ready to box, leaning
against the corner of a simulated
ring.
Mourners who came to his wake in
San Juan on Friday found him posed
afoot, a yellow hood on his head,
sunglasses glasses over his eyes and
blue boxing gloves on his hands.
Elsie Rodriguez, vice president of
the Marin Funeral Home, said
Riveras family wanted to stress his
boxing. The funeral home suggested
posing him in a ring.
The makeshift ring was set up in a
community center of a public hous-
ing complex. Rodriguez told The
Associated Press it took them several
hours to create the scene.
The funeral home has staged simi-
lar wakes for others. One featured a
deceased man riding his motorcycle.
The 23-year-old Rivera had a 5-15
record in the 130-pound weight
class. Police said he was shot dead
Sunday in the city of Santurce. No
one has been arrested.
Handlers: Punxsutawney
Phil predicts longer winter
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. Emergi ng
from his lair on Super Bowl Sunday,
groundhog Punxsutawney Phil could-
nt predict the winner of the big game
but his handlers said he was sure of
his weather forecast: There will be
six more weeks of winter.
Pennsylvanias famed groundhog
was roused from slumber at 7:28 a.m.
Sunday and, according to the
Punxsutawney Groundhog Club,
directed handler Bill Deeley to a
scroll that contained the prediction -
along with a Super Bowl reference.
As usual, thousands of fans turned
out on Groundhog Day to see the
furry rodent, the most famous of a
small group of groundhogs said to
forecast the weather.
Legend has it that if the groundhog
sees his shadow on Feb. 2, winter
will last another month-and-a-half. If
he doesnt see it, spring will come
early.
In reality, Phils prediction is
decided ahead of time by a group
called the Inner Circle, whose mem-
bers don top hats and tuxedos for the
annual ceremony on Gobblers
Knob, the tiny hill in the town for
which hes named about 65 miles
northeast of Pittsburgh.
The prediction fell on Super Bowl
Sunday for the first time. The closest
the game previously came to coincid-
ing with Groundhog Day was in
2009, when the just-down-the-road
Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the
Arizona Cardinals 27-23 the night
before Phils forecast.
This years NFL championship pit-
ting the Seattle Seahawks and Denver
Broncos at MetLife Stadium in East
Rutherford, N.J., will be the Super
Bowls 48th installment, while Phil
has been predicting the weather since
1886.

T
he 1849 Gold Rush presented oppor-
tunities of great wealth for those
who left the settled communities
from the East Coast and other lands. Those
who were smart set reasonable goals for
their life and the money that was presented
to them. Unfortunately the gold elds didnt
keep the 49ers busy for the entire year and
when the rains came in the winter, most left
for the settle community of San Francisco.
With time on their hands now, most of the
men (it was a male community) sought
pleasure in the forms offered in this devel-
oping community. Gambling became the
favorite pastime with cards, dice and horse
racing predominate.
The need to travel to San Jose to San
Francisco posed a problem due to the
unpaved and unimproved path that was the
main way to travel on foot and horseback.
In good weather, it could be traveled in a day
but bridge washouts and muddy, gumbo clay
sometimes made it impossible to complete
the trip in one or two days time. The devel-
opment of El Camino Real started with the
need for food and lodging along the way. In
San Bruno, a wide, deep and dangerous creek
by Crystal Springs Road presented delays in
the rainy season so an enterprising individ-
ual built a small shack to supply food for the
horses and men who got stuck there waiting
for the water to go down. Business was so
good that the shack was soon enlarged into
a permanent two-story, well-constructed
roadhouse. Being 14 miles from the
Mission Dolores, it became named The 14-
Mile House. Eventually, not only food and
shelter was offered, but entertainment and
gambling. It grew into an institution
known throughout the state.
In the late 1850s, a toll road was built that
made it possible to get to San Francisco by
traveling around (to the east side) San Bruno
Mountain. This shortened the time travel-
ing to San Francisco. Just before a railroad
(San Francisco and San Jose Railroad) was
built through San Bruno, Mr. Cunningham
purchased land to the east of El Camino Real
(where the American Legion is now). The
railroad was built through his property and
Cunningham built two two-story buildings
he named The San Bruno House. His bar
was advertised as the biggest bar in the
county. Asmall horse track was built also as
well as trap-shoot across the road and the
area developed into a sportsmens paradise.
Boxing bouts were scheduled and thousands
would ock to the area for weekend festivi-
ties.
In the late 1880s, a former manager of the
14-Mile House, August Jenevein, bought
the land across from the street, at a triangu-
lar corner, and he built a magnicent two-
story, New Orleans-style architecture hotel
he advertised as being a family oriented
hotel. The reputation of the 14-Mile House
had become too risqu for many travelers.
Since the late 1840s, San Franciscos
development had been one of a traditional
western town, wide-open, bent-hell for
pleasure community. Uncontrolled crime
was common and the businessmen took
advantage of little law enforcement by run-
ning crooked gambling joints. The area
soon sported many places for horse racing.
In the Mission District, a track was built to
the north of Army Street where Lake Dolores
once stood. The entire area became a pleas-
ure center. Restaurants, bars and gambling
abounded that allowed the miners all types
of opportunity to spend their money.
Another race track was built in Bayside
(near Hunters Point), another to the west in
Ingleside. Many more stood for short times
and have been forgotten. The gambling,
however, eventually posed too many prob-
lems for the police and horse racing in San
Francisco was outlawed in the 1890s.
When the Spanish arrived on the
Peninsula in the 1770s, they found a nice,
pleasant stretch of land that was ideal on
which to race horses. This piece of land
stood in what is now San Bruno. When
horse racing was outlawed in San Francisco,
this offered an opportunity to develop a
track on the site that had been used for rac-
ing for many years.
With the demise of horse racing in San
Francisco, a new horse racing track was
built on property to the north of Uncle
Toms Cabin (14-Mile House). With the rail-
road to the east of the stands, it was easy for
patrons from San Francisco to travel to the
Tanforan race track. However, when gam-
bling was outlawed by the state, the track
became used for the coming fad the auto-
mobile. Auto races were scheduled until
World War I when the area was used to train
soldiers to go to Europe to ght. The track
never recovered without gambling and it
was torn down in 1918.
In 1922, with new investors and a modi-
ed gambling attitude by lawmakers, a new
track was built on the west side of the site,
along El Camino Real.

Brian Ponty isnt sure what his
next chapter holds but the retiring
Redwood City nance director is
pretty sure his wife does.
She has a very keen talent in
keeping me occupied around the
house. I dont think Ill get
bored, Ponty said.
Ponty also has college visits
with his son, golf and a proper
vacation without constant email
and iPad checks on his post-city
career to-do list. Although after so
many years with finance pretty
much his life, Ponty said he does-
nt have too many hard and fast
plans for days when hes not liv-
ing and breathing municipal gov-
ernment.
Im just looking forward to a
blank canvas, he said.
After 30 years keeping Redwood
Citys nances in check, Ponty,
56, is leaving in May. During his
tenure, Ponty has seen quite a few
changes and says without hesita-
tion the downtown development
is the biggest.
Hes also seen his share of sur-
prises. One of them the states
dissolution of redevelopment
agencies and the ensuring
headaches prompted thoughts of
changing course about two years
ago.
I started to think about how life
would look, he said. I wanted the
opportunity to retire and spend
more time with my family and
experience other things in life.
But as much as Ponty said hes
looking to the future, he also cele-
brates his time with Redwood
City. Ponty, who graduated with
degrees in accounting finance
from CSU East Bay, spent four and
a half years as a management ana-
lyst with San Mateo County
before opening the paper one
Sunday and spotting the Redwood
City job advertisement that would
put him on his current path. The
position offered the breadth and
depth of a citys overall nancial
picture rather than pigeonholing
him in a smaller niche like budget-
ing or treasury management.
He joined the city in 1985 as an
assistant finance director and
accepted the nance director spot
in November 1993. When he rst
joined the city, he estimated stay-
ing three to ve years. His depar-
ture marks signicantly more time
passed than that initial prediction
and he currently oversees a depart-
ment staff of 18 and a budget that
includes estimated general fund
revenues of $86.6 million.
Ponty said hes always enjoyed
nance and how it allows him to
solve problems. He appreciates
pulling together his team and
gathering around a white board to
nd the answers. Those are the
people he counts among what
hell miss most.
He is also grateful for a city
which he said allowed him to reach
those conclusions without being
bogged down in a tedious process.
That license to act is part of why
he stayed so long, Ponty said.
City brass say they are also glad
for Pontys longevity.
Brian has been instrumental in
seeing us through tough nancial
times, said City Manager Bob
Bell. His expertise in all things
financial, his ability to look
beyond the numbers to see the
impacts of nancial decisions on
staff and our community, and his
calm and professional demeanor
will be missed.
The city is actively recruiting
for Pontys replacement and Bell
said it is a tall order.
As city manager, I know that
finding someone to fill Brians
shoes will not be easy, but I am
condent that our citys reputation
for scal health and strong leader-
ship will attract top quality candi-
dates for this important posi-
tion, he said.
A posting notes the window
closes Monday, Feb. 17 and the
salary range is $164,676 to
$201,216. The recruitment char-
acterizes the ideal candidate as an
adept manager of people with an
exceptional customer orienta-
tion.
Pontys advice for his successor
is more straightforward come
with a healthy passion for munici-
pal nance and curiosity.
Ponty doesnt discount the pos-
sibility of coming back to work
for a government or nonprofit
agency where he can add value.
Although hes ready to step away
from a full-time workload, Ponty
said there are still many aspects of
the job he enjoys.
This is where I realized what
my role on Earth is, he said.

The all-apparent lack of rain has
put a thorn in the side of the coun-
tys planned reseeding of the
endangered thornmint plant at
Edgewood Park.
Using an innovative govern-
mental crowdfunding site, parks
officials and supporters were
recently able to make donations
pour into its thornmint seeding
project. Mother Nature, however,
has been a lot more stingy.
Although some precipitation is
predicted, it will likely be too lit-
tle too late for the plants to com-
plete a normal life cycle, wrote
Julia Bott, San Mateo County
Parks Foundation director, and
Stuart B. Weiss and Christal
Niederer, of the Creekside Center
for Earth Observation, in a letter
to thornmint lovers.
The seeding has now been post-
poned until next year and the
$5,400 raised through Citizinvestor
will be placed in a special founda-
tion fund earmarked only for this
project, according to Bott.
Bott said the foundation consid-
ered supplemental irrigation but
doing so is logistically tough
because it would be the primary
source of water rather than just a
helping hand.
The thornmint is an annual
plant standing 2 to 4 inches high
with white and purple owers and
some thorns. The plant, which is
on both the federal and state
endangered species lists, was
only ever identied in San Mateo
County and now is only in a secret
location in Edgewood Park. This
single population has been on the
decline for years, with an estimate
of more than 53,000 plants in
1994 dropping to only 249 indi-
viduals counted in 2008. That
year, the restoration project
began and, by May 2011, the
population hit 3,450. But without
seeding the last few years, the
number of plants again plummet-
ed and advocates had hoped the
December 2013 planting window
would result in springtime
blooms.
The countys parks have no ded-
icated source of funding and are
often rst on the budgetary chop-
ping block which is why wish list
projects like this are often in the
hands of public generosity.
The county Parks Foundation
turned to Citizinvestor late last
year to fund the thornmint plant-
ing along with proposals to
replace the re rings at Memorial
Park and three months worth of
funding for the Bicycle Sunday
program, the closure of Caada
Road for non-motorized activity.
Donors could pledge any amount
but were not charged unless the
given project reached 100 percent
of its funding goal before the
deadline ends.
The re ring idea never really
caught on and fell short of its
$27,540 goal. The foundation
finally pulled the project and
instead extended the Bicycle
Sunday investment. The funding
window for that project closes in a
week and Bott said it still needs to
raise a little more than $4,300.
The total could be met by a few
big gifts and lots of little contri-
butions, Bott said.

Drought proves thorn in side of seeding project

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE Walter Cottle
Lester, a third-generation
California farmer who stubbornly
refused to sell his familys 237-
acre ranch to developers even as
Silicon Valley rose up around it
and made the land worth hundreds
of millions of dollars, has died at
age 88.
Lester died of natural causes on
Friday, a day before a 4-mile
perimeter trail representing the
rst piece of a future park and agri-
cultural preserve that will occupy
his family homestead opened to
the public, The San Jose Mercury
News reported .
Lester deeded the land, which
had been in his family since the
1860s and where fruit and grains
still are grown, to Santa Clara
County and the state starting a
decade ago on the condition that it
remain as open space forever.
At his request, the future Martial
Cottle Park will be named for his
maternal grandfather, who
bequeathed the ranch to Lesters
mother, who in turn passed it on to
her son and his sister,
who died 15 years ago.
Lester, who never
married or had chil-
dren, died in the same
140-year-old farmhouse where he
was born. He was the last surviv-
ing member of the Cottle family
and Silicon Valleys last big farm
owner, the Mercury News reported.
He repeatedly turned down offers
from developers eager to secure
the prime south San Jose real
estate and could have gotten as
much as $500 million for the
property, the newspaper said.
People ask: Why didnt Walter
sell and go buy an island? Well,
his world was right here, said
David Giordano, who managed
Lesters farming operation for the
past two decades. His duty in life,
as he perceived it, was to preserve
the ranch in its entirety.
Current plans call for the park to
include a visitor center that
explores the areas agricultural
past, picnic areas and parcels that
can be leased for farming and the
crops sold at local markets.
Former Santa Clara Supervisor
Susanne Wilson, who worked with
Lester to hammer out the preserva-
tion deal, said the project will be a
tribute to his determination.
He was just a crusty old farmer
who had a dream, and he stuck with
it. He was stubborn and crotchety,
and a loner in many ways. He
knew what he wanted, Wilson
said. He wasnt about to relin-
quish one bit of that land. He was
here rst, and, by golly, he had
rights.

STATE
By Scott Smith
MENDOTA Amid Californias driest
year on record, the nations leading agricul-
tural region is locked in drought and bracing
for unemployment to soar, sending farm
workers to food lines in a place famous for
its abundance.
One-third of the Central Valleys jobs are
related to farming. Strains on water sup-
plies are expected to force farmers to leave
elds unplanted, creating a ripple effect on
food processing plant workers, truck driv-
ers and those who sell fertilizer, irrigation
equipment and tractors.
No place may be harder hit than Mendota,
a small farm town where unemployment
rose above 40 percent at the height of the
economic recession in 2009, also a dry
year. Mayor Robert Silva said he fears this
year could be even worse.
Were supposed to be the cantaloupe cap-
ital of the world, Silva said. But were the
food line capital of the world.
Residents of Mendota late last year began
seeing tough times on the horizon when lit-
tle rain fell in the valley and snow didnt
blanket the High Sierra. This marks the
third consecutive dry year for California,
and Gov. Jerry Brown has declared a drought
emergency.
This past week, the snow packs water
content was measured at 12 percent of nor-
mal. State ofcials announced that they
would not be sending water to Californias
agricultural customers. U.S. officials are
expected in late February to announce they
will allot only a fraction of the federally
controlled water that farmers want, if any.
If that scenario plays out, Silva estimates
the lines they saw outside a Mendota food
bank ve years ago could run three times as
long this year. His towns unemployment
today is at 34 percent the highest in
Fresno County and interim City Manager
Don Pauley gures it will top 50 percent.
Ofcials at Mendotas City Hall arent the
only uneasy ones. Steve Malanca, general
manager at Thomason Tractor in Firebaugh,
said farmers have already told him that dig-
ging deeper wells and buying irrigation
water are higher priorities in 2014 than
investing in new farm equipment from him.
With reduced work in the elds, Malanca
said its clear he will have to lay off some of
his 49 employees.
The ripple effect of drought extends to the
trucking companies that haul crops, tire
companies that outt the big rigs and fuel
suppliers who provide diesel, he said.
Employees at John Deere world headquarters
in Moline, Ill., will feel repercussions from
drought in California, the biggest agricul-
tural producer, he said. So will the business-
es that make cardboard boxes to hold can-
taloupes and the wooden pallets for stacking
the boxes, Malanca said. The list goes on.
When you make a hay bale, youve got
to tie that bale with string, he said. The
supplier who made that string, hes going
to be out of work, too.
A 2012 study by the Agricultural Issues
Center at the University of California,
Davis, found that farming and food process-
ing industries created nearly 38 percent of
all Central Valley jobs. Every 100 farm and
processing jobs create work for another 92
people, said the report, which measured
agricultures impact on the states economy.

NAPA Police arrested a mother and her
boyfriend Sunday after being questioned in
connection with the sexual assault and
homicide of the womans three-year-old
daughter in Napa on Saturday, according to a
police lieutenant.
The girls mother, Sara Krueger, 23, and
her boyfriend, Ryan Scott Warner, 26, have
both been arrested for assault resulting in a
childs death, homicide, and special circum-
stances murder, according to police. The
homicide investigation began at about 1
p.m. on Saturday when Napa police received
an anonymous phone call requesting a wel-
fare check at an apartment in the 2000
block of Wilkins Avenue for a three-year-old
girl, police said.
Ofcers entered the apartment and found
the young girl deceased in her bed, police
said.
Detectives found evidence of foul play,
observed signs of blunt force trauma
injuries on the childs body, and found pre-
liminary evidence of a sexual assault,
according to Napa police Lt. Debbie
Peecook.
The girls mother and her mothers
boyfriend were not home when police
arrived and had been last seen carrying lug-
gage from Kruegers apartment at about 10
a.m. on Saturday, according to police.
Neither Krueger nor Warner owns a vehi-
cle and police were not been able to reach
them on their cellphones, Peecook said.
Regional law enforcement was advised to
be on the lookout for the couple, police
said.
An citizen saw the couple at a restaurant in
El Cerrito, about 30 miles south of Napa,
and reported their whereabouts to police.
BARTpolice detained Krueger and Warner at
the El Cerrito del Norte BART station, at
about 11 a.m. Sunday, according to
Peecook.
Napa police ofcers picked up the couple
and interviewed them about the circum-
stances surrounding the death of Kruegers
daughter. Both Warner and Krueger were
booked into the Napa County Department of
Corrections, according to Peecook.
Detective Andy Hess is in charge of the
investigation and anyone with information
regarding this case is urged to contact him at

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obamas new declaration that hes open
to legalizing many immigrants short of
citizenship sounds a lot like House
Speaker John Boehner and other GOP
leaders, an election-year compromise
that numerous Republicans as well as
Democrats crave.
But the drive for the first overhaul in
three decades still faces major resistance
from many Republicans who are wary that
the divisive issue could derail what they
see as a smooth glide path to winning
Novembers congressional elections.
And they deeply distrust the Democratic
president to enforce the law.
Just hours after Boehner pitched immigra-
tion to the GOP at a Maryland retreat,
Obama suddenly indicated he would be open
to legal status for many
of the 11 million living
here illegally, dropping
his once-ironclad insis-
tence on a special path
to citizenship.
Democrats, including
Obama, and other immi-
gration proponents have
warned repeatedly about
the creation of a two-tier
class system.
If the speaker proposes something that
says right away, folks arent being deport-
ed, families arent being separated, were
able to attract top young students to provide
the skills or start businesses here, and then
theres a regular process of citizenship, Im
not sure how wide the divide ends up being,
Obama said in a CNN interview that was
recorded Thursday and aired Friday.
Obamas exibility is a clear indication
of the presidents desire to secure an elusive
legislative achievement
before voters decide
whether to hand him even
more opposition in
Congress. Republicans
are expected to maintain
their grip on the House
and have a legitimate
shot at grabbing the
majority in the Senate.
Im going to do
everything I can in the coming months to
see if we can get this over the finish line,
Obama said Friday of an immigration over-
haul in a Google Plus Hangout talk.
In an earlier compromise, Obama sig-
naled late last year that he could accept the
Houses piecemeal, bill-by-bill approach to
immigration changes after months of back-
ing a comprehensive, bipartisan Senate
bill. Notably, he calibrated his comments
on immigration in his State of the Union
address this week.
I think he realizes that this is a very del-
icate issue, its very controversial and I
think his recent statements have been very,
very positive in allowing us to move for-
ward, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., a
proponent of immigration overhaul, told
reporters Friday.
Boehner, for his part, tried to sell his
reluctant broader caucus on tackling immi-
gration this year by casting it as critical to
job creation, economic growth and nation-
al security. The speaker, along with Reps.
Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Jeff Denham, R-
Calif., argued for action in a closed-door
session with other House Republicans
Thursday at their annual retreat in
Cambridge, Md.
Boehner rejected the idea of a special path
to citizenship.
If Democrats insist on that, then we are
not going to get anywhere this year, he
said.
Citizenship for immigrants? Obama eases insistence
John Boehner Barack Obama
By Mathew Daly
and Dina Cappiello
WASHINGTON The White
House has rebuffed repeated
protests by some of President
Barack Obamas top environmen-
tal allies that his climate strategy
wont work.
The heads of 18 environmental
groups went public recently with a
complaint they have privately
pressed the White House on for
months: Obamas support of
expanded oil and gas production
doesnt make sense for a president
who wants to reduce global warm-
ing pollution.
We believe that continued
reliance on an all-of-the-above
energy strategy would be funda-
mentally at odds with your goal of
cutting carbon pollution, the
environmentalists wrote in a let-
ter to Obama this month.
The plea from some of his
staunchest supporters did not stop
Obama, who proclaimed in his
State of the Union address Tuesday
that his energy strategy is work-
i ng.
Taken together, our energy pol-
icy is creating jobs and leading to
a cleaner, safer planet, said
Obama, who also declared that
climate change is a fact.
The dispute between Obama and
the leaders of major green groups
has been simmering for months, a
schism that shows the ne line the
environmental community has
walked with a Democratic presi-
dent who has taken significant
steps on climate change and the
recalcitrance of Obamas White
House when it is criticized, even
by its allies.
White House ofcials knew last
spring that a letter objecting to
Obamas energy policy was in the
works. They urged the environ-
mental groups to wait until after
Obama delivered a speech on cli-
mate change in June, hoping his
aggressive steps on global warm-
ing would change their minds.
There is a cognitive dissonance
inside the administration,
Michael Brune, executive director
of the Sierra Club, said in an inter-
view with The Associated Press.
We believe their commitment to
ght climate change is genuine,
and yet the energy policy goals of
the administration make address-
ing climate change much more dif-
cult.
The environmental groups
stance could be dismissed as advo-
cacy groups just doing what they
do pushing the president to go
further on an issue important to
their members. Already, they have
protested a pipeline project carry-
ing Canadian tar sands oil into the
U.S., fought to shutter coal-red
power plants and opposed the
drilling technique known as
hydraulic fracturing.
But for the major groups, the
letter marked new territory, the
rst time the lobby has been both
united and sharply critical of
Obamas central environmental
issue, one they support in princi-
ple: curbing climate change.
Not a lot of these groups have
said it aloud. It does mark a shift in
environmental community, said
Maura Cowley, executive director
of the Energy Action Coalition,
who signed the letter.
That shift was clear in the reac-
tion to Obamas State of the
Union. Groups that had viewed the
June climate speech positively
pointed out what they saw as a aw
in logic in the presidents remarks
Tuesday night.

Anybody worried about how Bruno Mars
would do on one of the worlds largest
stages had obviously never seen the young
star perform live. That all changed Sunday
night when tens of millions got their rst
chance to see why hes one of the most
exciting live acts of his generation.
Mars, 28, took his high-powered live
show to Super Bowl halftime, creating what
felt like an intimate show in the arena in
East Rutherford, N.J., and supersizing it in
what has become a dening moment for
those who preceded him on the list of half-
time performers in the big game.
The Grammy Award-winning singer elimi-
nated any doubters from the second he
appeared on screen in a skinny tie and gold
jacket almost as dazzling as his smile. He
played a deep-groove drum solo while
rolling across the eld on a raised, motor-
ized platform, then joined his smoking-hot
live band for a series of energetically exe-
cuted hits that were clearly not lip-synced.
He then seamlessly integrated the Red Hot
Chili Peppers into his set.
There were a lot of doubters and my man
delivered, Fox commentator Howie Long
said after the performance.
Hard to disagree. There were no ubs, no
negative moments that will live on at the
water cooler Monday morning. And while
you can argue about the entertainment value
of watching shirtless Chili Peppers gambol
about the stage, the 50-year-old Rock and
Roll Hall of Famers managed to match
Mars energy in a brief appearance that was
no less memorable.
Mars trades in shared memories, taking
the best of acts that have come before like
the infectiousness of Sting and The Police,
or the groove of James Brown, and updating
them with lyrics and sounds that capture the
freshness of the current moment.

NEWYORK Super Bowl advertisers nally seeing their
efforts play out on the industrys biggest stage.
Heres a look at some highlights of the Super Bowl ad
action. Check back for updates throughout the night.
BOB DYLANS SUPER BOWL

Legendary singer Bob Dylan appears in the esh for one
of Chryslers surprise ads for the night. The two-minute
spot is reminiscent of the car makers patriotic ad starring
Eminem and celebrating Detroit in 2011.
Dylan walks through the city streets explaining that
Detroit made cars and that cars are made in America.
In case you didnt get the point, he goes on to explain in
his familiar raspy voice:
Let Germany brew your beer, let Switzerland assemble
your watch, let Asia assemble your phone. We will build
your car.
Its the second appearance of the night for Dylan, if you
count the tune of I Want You in the Chobani ad.
A SEINFELD REUNION...SORT OF
Sightings of Seinfeld actors lming in New York City
this week sparked rumors of a reunion.
Now we know what it was all about: an ad for Jerry
Seinfelds show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee on
Crackle.
In the ad, George gripes that he wasnt invited to a Super
Bowl party. After some prodding, Jerry tells him its
because he over-cheered. After some more prodding, Jerry
admits the real reason: it seems George availed himself in
the bathroom of the hosts master bedroom.
NEWYORK CITY GETS A TUNE-UP

Halftime sponsor Pepsi got one of the sweetest ad spots
of the night, with a 30-second lead-in to the show starring
Bruno Mars.
The spot showed various New York City monuments at
night being lit up and played like instruments the
Manhattan bridge is strummed like a guitar, Columbus
Circle is spun like a record and the Guggenheim and famous
Pepsi-Cola sign in Long Island City get played like drums.
MetLife stadium, where the game is being played, is
turned like a dial, making the lights climb across the citys
skyscrapers.
TIM TEBOW MAKES IT TO

THE SUPER BOWL AFTER ALL
Tim Tebow may not be on the eld, but hes still in the
NFL spotlight.
T-Mobile wants to win over customers and who better than
the former Broncos quarterback to show how great life can
be without a contract?
The Broncos may have gone with Peyton Manning for its
quarterback, but expect to see more Tebow tonight too; T-
Mobile has more ads on the way.
SLOWCLAP FOR...STEPHEN COLBERTS EAGLE

The best part of the Wonderful Pistachios ads starring
Stephen Colbert? The eagle perched on his desk wearing a
little matching suit.
The spots launch a yearlong sponsorship for between
Colbert and parent company Roll Global. Mainly, were
looking forward to seeing what other outts the eagle will
sport.
Wonderful Pistachios says the eagle played by a puppet
is female.
Colbert calls her a girl in the teaser, notes Rob Six, a

Water usage tips
Editor,
Last month, Gov. Jerry Brown
declared we need to institute a 20
percent water conservation.
Conservation will help protect our
vital water supply. Our two year
drought has now resulted in a water
emergency in the state of California.
Since it is probable that there will
be little future rainfall, the present
cutback will become mandatory.
Future violators will undoubtfully be
fined. So, here are some tips to con-
serve water:
Reduce water flow;
Take shorter showers;
Dont needlessly run water while
shaving/brushing teeth;
Operate dishwashers and washing
machines at full load;
Skip washing autos/driveways;
Water gardens lightly and at
night and use mulch around plants;
and
Report/repair any and all leaks or
dripping faucets.
Conservation is important because
it protects our vital water supply.
Lets all do our part during this dry
season, but dont overlook drinking
water daily.

CSM parking
Editor,
I am on the College of San Mateo
campus five days a week, and park-
ing on Monday and Wednesday
mornings is nearly impossible. On a
recent morning, I arrived at the
lower Hillsdale parking lot to find
that Solar City and Go Pro have now
been given more than half of that
lower lot for their exclusive use. At
9:45 a.m., there were precious few
spaces left for student use and by 1
p.m., when I returned to the lot,
dozens of students had been ticketed
(they were courtesy warnings today).
When taxpayers approved the two
college district bonds, they assumed
the money was going to improve
facilities for students, not to build
parking lots for private companies.
The entire north parking area at
CSM has been closed for renova-
tion. Why would CSM, then, take
limited parking space away from stu-
dents, give it to private companies
and then ticket students when there
is nowhere to park?
No student should have to pay a
parking ticket as long as Solar City
and Go Pro have priority parking
over students.

Im so proud
Editor,
After reading the front page arti-
cle, 7-Eleven legal battle still far
from finished, in the Jan. 27 issue
of the Daily Journal, I just have to
tell everyone that Im so proud of
the executive employees of the city
of San Mateo. In particular, a certain
city councilman, a certain staff
member of the city attorneys office
and the mayor himself are all to be
congratulated. Collectively, they
have learned some valuable lessons
in the wake of the 7-Eleven fias-
co. I am so proud of them because
they learned how to sweep their
screw-ups under the rug. Im so
proud that they also learned how to
cover up for their fellow city
employees. Finally, Im so proud
that they learned how to move for-
ward, like nothing has happened by
employing the ol We need more
training excuse. Man, to think
that we, the citizens of San Mateo,
pay big bucks for city employees
like these. No wonder no one trusts
government, including the local city
government.
All sarcasm aside, I believe that if
7-Eleven prevails in the lawsuit
with the city of San Mateo, the cer-
tain city councilman and city attor-
ney employee should have to pay for
any judgment, since they are ones
who caused this whole 7-Eleven
fiasco in the first place. The people
of San Mateo shouldnt have to pay
for the mistakes these highly paid
and highly trained city employees
caused.

Orange County Register
J
an. 1 marked the full implemen-
tation of the federal govern-
ments ban on traditional
incandescent light bulbs, as 40-watt
and 60-watt bulbs were phased out.
Congressional Republicans made one
last-gasp attempt to ght the ban by
inserting a provision into the
omnibus spending bill preventing the
Department of Energy from enforcing
the ban, though they did not overturn
the ban and manufacturers have
resigned to it, no longer making the
banned bulbs.
The bulb ban was included in the
Energy Independence and Security Act
of 2007, which was passed with the
help of Republican votes and signed
into law by President George W.
Bush. It was not just environmental-
ists who pushed for the prohibition.
The provision also enjoyed strong
support from manufacturers, who
stood to benet from the higher prot
margins of the remaining higher-cost,
energy-efcient bulbs.
As some Republican lawmakers
learned, many people dont like being
told how to live their lives. During a
failed attempt by some Republicans
to repeal the ban in 2011, Rep. Fred
Upton, R-Mich., who had co-spon-
sored the EISA, issued a mea culpa:
The public response on this issue is
a clear signal that markets not
governments should be driving
technological advancements. Even
in the face of inevitability, a January
2014 Rasmussen poll shows that 60
percent still oppose the ban, and just
25 percent support it.
Whether the issue is cost, a prefer-
ence for the light cast by incandes-
cent versus energy-efcient bulbs, the
inability to dim some compact uo-
rescent light or light-emitting diode
bulbs, concerns over the potentially-
harmful mercury contained in CFL
bulbs or simply resistance to govern-
ment paternalism, many consumers
have rendered a verdict in favor of the
traditional incandescent bulbs.
Not that this would have always
remained the case. If CFL, LED or
other types of light bulbs not yet
invented truly are superior, consumers
will choose to use them. Instead, peo-
ple have been forced to stockpile
their preferred incandescent bulbs.
The light-bulb ban may not have
eviscerated freedom as we know it, but
it is symptomatic of the heavy-hand-
ed approach used by both major polit-
ical parties to dictate how we live our
lives and what choices we are allowed
to make.
Moreover, it raises a frightening
question: If politicians and bureau-
crats are willing to revoke so trivial a
freedom, which aspects of our lives
and what choices that we take for
granted today remain beyond the
reach of their dictates?
A not-so-bright idea
No sugar to help the
medicine go down
W
hen it comes to the state of American educa-
tion, we know the problems and remedies but
theres no sugar to help the medicine go down.
And, typically, the patient refuses to swallow.
Here is a brief diagnosis. The reason American students
are falling behind their peers in other industrialized coun-
tries is because:
1). We need better trained
teachers. Especially in
math and science where few
teachers have majored in
these subjects or are prop-
erly equipped to teach
them. The United States
needs to revamp teacher
training, make it more rig-
orous and raise the bar on
admittance. We should be
aiming for the top third
college graduates instead of
the present bottom third.
The medicine: teacher
unions should relent on
their opposition to merit
pay and be more supportive of reforms to improve evalua-
tion and remove failing teachers. The other bitter pill:
good teachers need to make more money and teaching as a
profession needs to be up there with lawyers and doctors
as a respected and sought-after occupation. But its not
just the fault of inadequate teaching. And teachers are sick
and tired of getting all the blame.
2). We need students to take their education more seri-
ously. According to Thomas Friedman in the New York
Times, Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education, asks:
Are we falling behind as a country in education not just
because we fail to recruit the smartest college students to
become teachers or reform-resistant teachers unions, but
because of our culture today: too many parents and too
many kids just dont take education seriously enough and
dont want to put in the work needed today to really
excel?
High school kids complain about the six to eight hours
of homework they get a night. But is it really six to eight
hours or does it just take that long because of the study
breaks via Facebook, texting, etc. Parents complain
about the homework, while some students just dont do
the work. Heres a true story: Student Aattended a local
high school. Her best friend B, came from South Korea. B
was taking a year off from her South Korean studies to
attend a high-achieving high school in the United States.
The young woman would do her U.S. homework in about
an hour or two and then nish off the evening by doing
South Korean homework so she could keep up on her
return home. Whats so scary is that A, very bright and
with good grades, would spend about eight hours doing
the same assignments. Was she texting in between or just
not as smart as her friend? I bet it was the former.
The medicine: parents and teachers need to revere and
support education the way they revere sports. They need
to be willing to have the self-discipline to work hard
every day. Because if you are not good, you are not going
to make the team. Sports is the one area in education
where meritocracy still counts. You dont get on the A
team if you cant play.
3). We need students to spend more time on task: If we
treated education as we treat sports, students would be
spending more time in school. You dont get to be or
remain a good athlete unless you practice, practice, prac-
tice. Our California students spend only 180 days in
school a year. Thats just half a year. Meanwhile, students
in other countries have longer school days and spend
more days in school per year. More time in school means
more money for staff. Thats the bitter pill.
4). We need to further the talents of our very brightest
students. Too many mathematically gifted kids are bored
in the classroom. Too many educators feel bright kids can
fend for themselves. Acceleration and tracking, once tools
for dealing with the gifted, are now in most cases unac-
ceptable. The medicine: we need special attention paid to
those who need extra help as well as special attention to
those whose full potential is being ignored.
5). We need more and better preschool for all children.
This is the one area where there is progress. Politicians
all over the country starting with the president are
singing this song (Will devote a future column to whats
happening in our county, Oklahoma and other states).
Reluctantly, this is a negative picture of American edu-
cation. Yet you go into a classroom and witness a teacher
working his/her magic and students doing incredible
things. In many places, including San Mateo County,
theres a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down.
Its a work in progress.

BUSINESS 10
By Adam Geller
ASHBURN, Va. The wealthi-
est county in America is settled
deep in 4 a.m. slumber when Neal
Breen threads the mini-mansion
subdivisions and snow-blanketed
fairways on his way to open shop.
Theres two hours yet before the
business day begins, but Breen,
who is 21, has plenty to do after
ipping on the lights. Donning a
green apron without taking off his
tweed cap, he boils the rst of
more than 500 bagels, then shov-
els them into a waiting oven.
When the early risers step from
their cars at a few minutes past 6, a
chalkboard meets them at the
door: Breakfast of Champions.
Breen, who quit college a year
ago with hopes of saving money
to start his own business, is keen-
ly aware that the wealth in the
neighborhoods where he delivers
breakfast sandwiches is, for now,
beyond reach. Hes long known
what it means to have less; he
recalls growing up as the son of a
pastor whose earnings sometimes
made it tough to feed ve children.
But he does not decry the gap
between the Vienna sausage din-
ners of childhood and the
$168,000 median income of the
households surrounding this
shopping center, about 35 miles
from Capitol Hill.
It just conrms that the free-
market economy is working,
Breen says, by rewarding those
who do for themselves.
Capitalism is about seizing
opportunity. A lot of people get
more opportunities than others,
but a lot of people arent comfort-
able seizing it, he says.
When President Barack Obama
promised to do something about
growing economic inequality in
his State of the Union address, he
spoke to a public whose own
experiences have, like Breens ,
shaped very personal views about
who makes it in todays economy
and who gets left behind.
Those at the top have never
done better. But average wages
have barely budged. Inequality has
deepened. ... Our job is to reverse
these trends, Obama said.
The speech addressed deeply
held convictions: Americans
know rsthand the challenges of
trying to get ahead, and some-
times just getting by, and speak
reverently about making sure the
country fullls its promise as a
land of economic opportunity.
But in a reporters conversa-
tions along a drive of more than
400 miles, from communities of
wealth to those of poverty, from
areas where politics increasingly
lean Democratic to those fast tilt-
ing Republican, there was little
agreement on how to realize that
ideal or on what role government
should play.
In a college town, a retired ele-
mentary school principal whose
uneducated father toiled in citrus
groves says in this technological
age, its harder to rise from poverty.
In a faded railroad town along
West Virginias New River, a
young barber is grateful for the
programs that helped him pay for
training and put food on his table
until he found work, but hes skep-
tical about people who abuse such
aid.
Its a conundrum, says Chris
Meyer, the owner of a landscaping
business, leaving Ashburn Bagel
& Sandwich Shop, breakfast in
hand. How do you make a work-
able system out of being a com-
passionate people?
Americans grapple with income inequality
By Mathew Pennington
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obamas Asia policy took
a hit this week, and it came from a
member of his own party.
The top Democratic senator,
Harry Reid, announced that he
opposes legislation thats key for
a trans-Pacic trade pact that is
arguably the most important part
of Obamas effort to strengthen
American engagement in Asia.
Since Obama rolled out the poli-
cy, most attention has been on the
military aspect, largely because it
was described as a rebalance in
U.S. priorities after a decade of
costly war in Afghanistan and
Iraq.
But ofcials have increasingly
stressed that Obamas foreign pol-
icy pivot to Asia is about more
than cementing Americas stature
as the pre-eminent power in the
Asia-Pacific as China grows in
strength. Its about capitalizing
on the regions rapid economic
growth.
Thats the importance of the
Trans-Pacic Partnership, or TPP,
an ambitious free trade agreement
being negotiated by 12 nations,
including Japan, that account for
some 40 percent of global gross
domestic product.
The pivot is the TPP right
now, Victor Cha, director of
Asian studies at Georgetown
Universitys School of Foreign
Service, told a conference at a
Washington think tank this week
on U.S. policy and the outlook for
Asia in 2014.
The problem for Obama is that
Congress needs to approve so-
called fast track negotiating
authority to move TPP along.
Many of his fellow Democrats are
against fast-track authority, which
would require Congress to act on
the trade deals negotiated by the
administration by a yes-or-no
vote, without the ability to make
any changes.
In a bitterly divided
Washington, Obamas in the rare
position of having more support
for a key policy among his politi-
cal rivals, the Republicans, than
from his own party.
Reid, the Senate majority leader,
said Wednesday that he opposed
fast-track authority and that law-
makers should not push for it now
a comment suggesting that leg-
islation introduced three weeks
ago will go nowhere soon.
The Obama administrations
Asia policy has been welcomed by
countries wary of Chinas rise and
expansive territorial claims.
During the presidents rst term,
the U.S. made progress in
strengthening old alliances with
nations like the Philippines,
forging deeper ties with Indonesia
and Vietnam and befriending for-
mer pariah state Myanmar.
There were missteps. Angry pol-
itics at home forced Obama to
withdraw from the East Asia
Summit last fall, raising some
questions about his commitment
to the region. New military
deployments in the Asia-Pacic
a few hundred Marines in
Australia, new warships rotated
through Singapore have fueled
Chinese accusations of a U.S. pol-
icy of containment while making
little impact on regional security.
Asia got little mention in
Obamas State of the Union
address Tuesday, adding to percep-
tions in some quarters that the
pivot has dropped in the adminis-
trations policy agenda in the
presidents second term.
But he did urge both parties in
Congress to approve fast-track
legislation needed to make the
TPP and a trade deal under negotia-
tion with Europe a reality, saying
it would open new markets and cre-
ate American jobs.
While that legislation is co-
sponsored by a senior Democrat
Obamas nominee to become
the next ambassador to China,
Sen. Max Baucus many in the
party join with labor unions in
opposing lowered trade barriers,
which they worry will cost jobs
due to increased competition.
But top Republicans who want
fast-track authority accuse the
administration of failing to do its
part to mobilize support for it
among Democrats in Congress
a task that will be complicated by
the midterm elections in
November. Lawmakers will be
careful to avoid measures that
could hurt their prospects of re-
election.

Monday Feb. 3, 2014
By Barry Wilner
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. The Seattle
Seahawks mantra all season was to make
each day a championship day.
They made Super Bowl Sunday the best
day of all with one of the greatest perform-
ances in an NFL title game sparked by a
defense that ranks among the best ever.
The Seahawks won their rst Super Bowl
crown in overpowering fashion, punishing
Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos
43-8. That masterful defense, the NFLs
stingiest, never let the ve-time MVP get
going, disarming the highest-scoring
offense in league history.
Seattle (16-3) was too quick, too physical
and just too good for Denver, and that was
true in all areas. What was hyped as a classic
matchup between an unstoppable offense
and a miserly defense turned into a rout.
We been relentless all season, quarter-
back Russell Wilson said. Having that
mentality of having a championship day
every day. At the end of the day, you want to
play your best football and that is what we
did today.
Punctuating Seattles dominance were a
69-yard interception return touchdown by
linebacker Malcolm Smith to make it 22-0,
and Percy Harvins sensational 87-yard
kickoff runback to open the second half.
Smith was the games MVP, the first
defender in 11 years to win the award.
When the Seahawks, up by 29 points,
forced a Denver punt early in the third quar-
ter, the 12th Man and there were legions
of them in MetLife Stadium began chant-
ing L-O-B, L-O-B.
As in Legion of Boom, the Seahawks
hard-hitting secondary, part of young team
with an average age of 26 years, 138 days.
This is an amazing team. Took us four
years to get to this point but they never
have taken a step sideways, coach Pete
Carroll said. These guys would not take
anything but winning this ballgame.
The loss by the Broncos again raised
questions about Mannings ability to win
the biggest games. He is 11-12 in the post-
season, 1-2 in Super Bowls. After the game,
he brushed off questions about his legacy.
Certainly to nish this way is very dis-
appointing, he said.
He never looked comfortable against a
defense some will begin comparing to the
1985 Bears and 2000 Ravens other NFL
champions who had runaway Super Bowl
victories.
Seattle forced four turnovers; Denver had
26 all season.
The Seahawks looked comfortable and at
ease, and not just their defense, which lost
All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman to a
high ankle sprain in the fourth quarter. He
celebrated on crutches.
I hope we etched out names in the histo-
ry books, Sherman said.
Wilson, who has an NFL-record 28 wins
in his rst two pro seasons, including play-
offs, had a 23-yard TD pass to Jermaine
Kearse late in the third quarter to make it 36-
0.
Wilson also hit Doug Baldwin for a 10-
yard score in the nal period in what had
become one of the most lopsided Super
Bowls. For the fth time in six meetings
between the NFLs No. 1 offense and
defense, the D dominated.
Its all about making history, All-Pro
safety Earl Thomas said. This was a domi-
nant performance from top to bottom.
Denver fell to 2-5 in Super Bowls, and by
the end many of Mannings passes resem-
bled the ducks Sherman said the All-Pro
quarterback sometimes threw.
The victory was particularly sweet for
Carroll, who was red in 1994 by the Jets,
led the Patriots for three seasons and again
was canned. After a short stint out of coach-
ing, he took over at Southern California and
won two national titles.
But he always felt there was unnished
business in the NFL. Carroll nished that
business by lifting the Vince Lombardi
Trophy, four years after taking charge in
Seattle and eight years after the Seahawks
lost in their only previous Super Bowl to
Pittsburgh.
SUPER BOWL XLVIII 12
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE
Have you ever been
entrusted to make
final arrangements
for a funeral?
Those of you
whove had this
experience know
that important decisions are required and
must be made in a timely manner. The next
of kin is many times required to search for
information about the deceased which may
not be easily accessible, and must answer
questions without the time to think things
out. Even though your Funeral Director is
trained to guide you every step of the way, it
is still best for you to be prepared with the
proper information if the need should arise.
Ask your Funeral Director what info is
needed before you meet with him/her.
Making funeral arrangements can be very
simple, or can become difficult at times if
you are not prepared. A good Funeral
Director is experienced in leading you with
the necessary requirements, and will offer
details that you may not have thought about
or previously considered as an option.
Allowing him/her to guide you will make
the arrangements go by quickly and easily.
A number of items should be considered
in preparation for the future:
1. Talk to your loved ones about the
inevitable. Give them an indication on what
your wishes are regarding the type of funeral
you want, burial or cremation, etc., and ask
them their feelings about plans for their own
funeral. This is only conversation, but it is
an important topic which will help break the
ice and prevent any type of confusion when
the time comes.
2. Talk to your Funeral Director. Write
down a list of questions and make a phone
call to your Funeral Director asking how to
be prepared. He/she will gladly provide
detailed information and can mail this
information to you for your reference.
Asking questions doesnt cost anything and
will help you with being organized.
3. Make an appointment and Pre-plan a
Funeral. Many more people are following
through with this step by making Pre-Need
Arrangements. Completing arrangements
ahead of time makes this process more
relaxed, and putting these details behind you
will take a weight off your shoulders. Your
wishes will be finalized and kept on file at
the Mortuary. Your Funeral Director will
even help you set aside funding now as to
cover costs at the time of death. Families
who meet with us at the CHAPEL OF THE
HIGHLANDS are grateful for the chance to
make Pre-Need Arrangements. With their
final details in place it helps to make matters
more calming for surviving loved-ones.
4. Enjoy Life. There are those who dwell
on situations that cant be controlled.
Taking time to stop and look around at
beauty in the world and appreciate good
things can be therapeutic. If you need to use
a negative statement, try re-wording it into a
positive. Change I had a lousy day today
into Today was demanding, but it made me
appreciate my better days. As the song
goes: Accentuate the positive; Eliminate
the negative; Latch on to the affirmative.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Nerves, Seahawks get better of Broncos
USATODAY SPORTS
Peyton Manning walks off the eld after the Broncos fell to the Seahawks 43-8.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. All those
records, all for naught.
Peyton Manning couldnt cap the greatest
season any NFL quarterback ever had or
secure his legacy as the best QB in history
because his Denver Broncos came down
with a case of the yips Sunday night.
They lost to Seattle in the Super Bowl 43-
8 by falling behind right from the start and
never recovering.
The bumbling Broncos trailed before
Manning ever got his hands on the ball
because Manny Ramirezs bad snap went for
a safety 12 seconds into the game.
It was a crazy start, Manning said, not
the way you expect to start the game.
It only got worse for the leagues most
prolic point producers who scored 606 of
em in the regular season, then dominated
the AFC in the playoffs but mustered only
Demaryius Thomas 14-yard touchdown
catch on the nal play of the third quarter at
MetLife Stadium.
We couldnt get it to swing, man, left
tackle Chris Clark said. We tried, but they
just played better than we did today. It didnt
shift. We didnt play Broncos football
today. When you got a good thing going,
you want to nish it off and we didnt do that
today.
Dominated in every way, the Broncos (15-
4) trudged through the tunnel trailing 22-0
at halftime, then watched Percy Harvin
return the second-half kickoff for a TD.
Youve got to play well in this game to
win it, said Broncos boss John Elway, who
lost Super Bowls by scores of 39-20, 42-10
and 55-10 during his Hall of Fame playing
career before winning his last two.
Elway returned to rescue his beloved
Broncos in 2011 after the franchise
foundered and his biggest coup was luring
Manning to Denver.
Over his two seasons in Colorado,
Manning engineered the greatest comeback
in NFL history: recovering from neck
fusion surgery that weakened his throwing
arm to win his fth MVP award this season
when he set records by throwing for 55 TDs
and 5,447 yards.
But he couldnt match that with the great-
est comeback in Super Bowl history after
falling behind 36-0.
I will tell you this: its hard to get things
turned around against a great defense like
that, Elway said. They are a great defense.
So, thats why you cant afford to lose the
momentum because to try to ip it on a great
defense is always hard.
This was easily Mannings worst day
since trading the blue and white horseshoe
of the Indianapolis Colts for the orange-
mane mustang of Denver. He was sacked for
the rst time in the playoffs, threw two
interceptions, one of which was returned for
a touchdown, lost a fumble and turned it over
on downs.
The bumbling Broncos nally found the
end zone when Thomas made a leaping,
twisting grab of Mannings 14-yard pass
his 100th TD toss for Denver. But he needed
a lot more of those to keep up with the ef-
cient Russell Wilson, who didnt commit
any turnovers and kept plays alive with his
legs and pinpoint passes.
They outplayed us in every facet, tight
end Jacob Tamme said.
Thomas caught 13 passes for 118 yards
but he also had a fumble as Denver was driv-
ing in the third quarter.
Denver was missing five defensive
starters who are on IR that might have made
this a fairer ght Von Miller, Rahim
Moore, Kevin Vickerson, Derek Wolfe and
Chris Harris Jr.
We just didnt play like were capable
of, Elway said. Its disappointing. But we
had a great year. And hopefully well learn
from this. But it started tough and we just
couldnt seem to get it going.
You are invited!

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Malcolm Smith always was ready
to step in when the Seattle
Seahawks needed him.
Now hes only the third line-
backer in NFL history to earn
Super Bowl MVP honors.
Smith returned an interception
of regular-season MVP Peyton
Manning 69 yards for a touchdown
in the rst half, recovered a fumble
in the second half, and was part of
a dominating defensive perform-
ance by Seattle during its 43-8
victory over the Denver Broncos
on Sunday night.
I woke up jumping, bouncing,
Smith said when presented with a
truck amid the confetti-strewn eld
after the game. It turned out great
for us tonight.
Sure did. And it was rather appro-
priate that a member of Seattles
league-leading D would be the
MVP of the Super Bowl, consider-
ing the way the Seahawks shut
down Manning and Denvers
record-breaking offense, forcing
four turnovers and holding the
Broncos scoreless until the last
play of the third quarter.
Smith joined Ray Lewis of
Baltimore in 2001, and Chuck
Howley of Dallas in 1971 as the
only linebackers to be picked as
the top player in a Super Bowl.
Only eight of 48 Super Bowls
have ended with a defensive player
getting the honor; the last exam-
ple was Tampa Bay Buccaneers free
safety Dexter Jackson in 2003.
Seahawks cornerback Richard
Sherman and safety Earl Thomas
were rst-team All-Pro selections
this season, and both finished
among the top ve vote-getters
for NFL Defensive Player of the
Year. Safety Kam Chancellor was a
second-team All-Pro choice.
That trio of defensive backs is
part of a talented secondary known
as the Legion of Boom, and
guys such as Smith often get over-
shadowed.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)
The talk, at least before the
Denver Broncos took a team vote
and decided not to show up for the
game, was that Peyton Manning
might call it a career and ride off
into the sunset after winning his
second Super
Bowl ring.
After as
miserable a
performance
as you will
ever see on a
big stage by a
future Hall of
Famer, the
Broncos
might be
excused if
they just
dont invite
him back.
They will, of course, because
Manning can still put up big num-
bers and win more games than the
average quarterback. He actually
set a Super Bowl record Sunday
night by completing 34 passes,
though the vast majority were
meaningless short throws that the
Seattle Seahawks were more than
happy to give him in a 43-8
blowout.
But after a second Super Bowl
op where the 37-year-old seemed
to be aging by the minute, it may
be that Manning is destined to
forever be among a large group of
quarterbacks who win the big one
only once.
Yes, he had plenty of help from
teammates who couldnt hold
onto the ball and others who
seemed to forget how to tackle.
Yes, the Seahawks have a suffo-
cating defense lled with players
who like to hit and strut and then
do it all over again.
But it was Manning and center
Manny Ramirez who set the tone
with a miscommunication for the
ages on the opening play from
scrimmage. And it was Manning
who threw two rst half intercep-
tions that gave the opportunistic
Seahawks a lead they werent
about to give up.
One of the greatest quarterbacks
ever? Not this night, when
Manning seemed jittery and
unprepared against a Seahawks
defense eager to stake a claim to
greatness of their own.
He wasnt even the greatest in
the Broncos locker room after-
ward, where John Elway stood
against a wall and tried to give an
explanation about something he
couldnt explain.
You gotta play well in this
game, Elway said. Gotta play
well to win.
That Manning didnt even come
close was a shocker, after a sea-
son where he set NFL records with
55 touchdown passes and 5,447
yards while leading the leagues
top-ranked offense. He failed to
become the rst quarterback to
win Super Bowls with two differ-
ent teams, and is 11-12 in playoff
games.
Tom Brady has lost a few of
these, but he never completely
gave them away. Joe Montana
wouldnt have even dreamed of it.
Heck, its hard to even imagine
the other Manning sibling
who owns two rings of his own
losing like this.
To nish this way is very dis-
appointing, Manning said. Its
a bitter pill to swallow.
That Manning was even play-
ing at the end of the game is tes-
tament to his stubbornness, if
nothing else. His night should
have ended on the previous
Denver possession, when he was
hit while throwing and fumbled
the ball away for his third
turnover of the game.
Maybe he just wanted to end
with one good pass, and he did.
After hitting reserve back C.J.
Anderson on a throw across the
middle for 14 yards, he settled for
handing the ball off as the nal
seconds ticked off.
Afterward, he dressed slowly in
front of his locker, putting a knot
in his tie and slipping on his suit
coat. Then he trudged off, head
down and hands in pocket, to the
interview tent where he knew the
questions ahead.
The play that sent the game
into a tailspin was blamed on
crowd noise, though Manning has
played in far noisier places than a
MetLife stadium that was lled
with 82,529 people with divided
loyalties. Manning said he was
moving forward to change the
cadence when Ramirez snapped
the football past him and running
back Knowshon Moreno fell on it
for a safety that was the fastest
score in Super Bowl history.
Its not the way you want to
start a game, he said. For what-
ever reason we couldnt get any-
thing going after that.
Someone then asked Manning
if the Broncos were embarrassed
by a blowout in a game they had
entered as slight favorites.
Its not embarrassing at all, I
would never use that word, he
said. The word embarrassing is
an insulting word, to tell you the
truth.
With that, Manning was gone,
with as nifty of an escape as he
had made all night. He had said he
had a lot to think about during the
offseason, and it was time for the
thinking to begin.
He will be back, unless doctors
who treat his neck say otherwise.
But its hard to imagine how
next season will end any better
than this one did.

Bad night at wrong time for Manning

THE ASSCIATED PRESS
BERKELEY California
expects to make signicant strides
over the next month as the pro-
gram plays for what it hopes is
another special March.
Two competitive losses to rival
Stanford could provide the needed
motivation or at least thats
what coach Lindsay Gottlieb
hopes.
Brittany Boyd had 20 points,
six rebounds and six assists for
No. 21 Cal in a 79-64 loss to the
fourth-ranked Cardinal on Sunday,
the second meeting in four days
between the Bay Area teams.
We have to turn around from
this week and say, Weve got
eight more games in this confer-
ence, and use the intensity and the
ght and competitiveness of this
weekend and turn that into our
team hitting another level,
Gottlieb said. Im excited to see if
our players respond to that chal-
lenge.
Mikayla Lyles added a career-
high 16 points with four 3-point-
ers for California (14-7, 6-4)
while making her second career
start after debuting in the starting
ve Thursday.
Chiney Ogwumike had 29
points, eight rebounds and four
assists as Stanford ran its winning
streak to 20 games. Amber
Orrange added 13 points for the
Cardinal (21-1, 10-0 Pac-12),
whose only loss came Nov. 11 at
No. 1 Connecticut. Stanford is on
pace for a 14th straight conference
regular-season crown.
The sweep of Cal keeps Stanford
well ahead in the Pac-12 stand-
ings. These teams shared the Pac-
12 regular-season crown last sea-
son by each winning on the
others home floor, with the
Golden Bears later advancing to
their rst Final Four berth in pro-
gram history.
Ogwumike shot 10 for 16 and
made 9 of 12 free throws.
Chiney is just in there and
theyve got to deal with her and
she nishes really well, coach
Tara VanDerveer said.
Stanford answered nearly every
threat as Cal struggled to get time-
ly defensive stops. Cal has played
the Cardinal tougher than any
other conference opponent after
Stanford won its rst eight Pac-12
games by an average of 25 points.
Lyles 3-pointer with 17:16 to
play cut Stanfords lead to 39-32,
then Ogwumike answered on the
other end. When Lyles hit another
3 at the 14:10 mark, Ogwumike
quickly scored.
The game at Haas Pavilion drew
5,715 fans, but it was a far cry
from the dramatic way Thursdays
game changed. Stanford led by 30
with 13:45 remaining and held on
for a 70-64 victory on its home
oor at Maples Pavilion.
Freshman Karlie Samuelson
scored 14 points off the bench
Thursday as Cal struggled to
defend the perimeter, opening up
things for Ogwumike inside.
Samuelson added 16 points
Sunday, including a three-point
play with 11:34 left that extended
the Cardinals lead to 52-38.
I thought Stanford was just bet-
ter, Gottlieb said. Its such a
problem with Chiney inside.
Bears leading scorer Reshanda
Gray was held scoreless while
playing only 14 minutes Thursday
as Gottlieb stuck with a lineup she
thought was clicking, but the
coach told everybody afterward
Gray would lead the way again
Sunday.
No. 4 Stanford women
beat No. 21 Cal 79-64
Travis Bader breaks
Division I 3-point record
MILWAUKEE Oaklands
Travis Bader set the NCAA
Division I record for the most
career 3-pointers on Sunday
against UW-Milwaukee, surpass-
ing the previous mark of 457 set
by Dukes J.J. Redick.
Bader, who entered the game two
behind Redick, missed his rst 3-
point attempt but made his next
four. He broke the record with a
shot from the right corner with
6:17 left in the rst half, pulling
Oakland within 29-28.
I was in rhythm, caught it and
shot it in the corner. It went in,
Bader said. I practice those shots
all the time. Its just constant rep-
etition and confidence that Im
going to make every shot.
He made his second attempt with
11:45 left in the half despite being
fouled, converting the four-point
play.
Bader, a 6-foot-5 senior guard,
tied the record with a 3-pointer
from the right wing with 6:58 left.
Bader scored 18 of his 21 points
in the rst half, making of 5 of 7
3-pointers. He was 1 for 4 beyond
the arc in the second half, pushing
his career total to 461.
Youve got a guy sitting in the
room thats the greatest of all-time
at something, said Oakland coach
Greg Kampe. And were not talk-
ing about ipping a tiddlywink or
something like that. This games
been played for a long, long time
and hes the best ever. And, hes
still got seven, eight games left.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia
Construction workers ignored
the blaring alarm in Gorki Plaza
on Sunday, tuning out the loud
hoot-hoot-hoot and automated
voice that urged guests to evacu-
ate.
That was a re drill a require-
ment ahead of building approval
but alarm bells of a more gura-
tive kind are ringing louder and
louder for the organizers of the
Sochi Olympics.
Its almost impossible to pin
down how many hotels will be n-
ished ahead of the Winter Games,
which ofcially open Friday.
Gorki Plaza was always sup-
posed to be a hive of activity, an
accommodation and transport hub
for thousands of visitors to
Olympic venues in the mountains
above Sochi. It just wasnt sup-
posed to be a hive of building
activity this late. And that has
Olympic leaders worried.
IOC President Thomas Bach was
given a status update on accommo-
dation by local organizers at an
executive board meeting Sunday.
There is a great condence and
great satisfaction with what we
have seen here, Bach said. Of
course, ... always before the
games, we have some issues to be
addressed. We received informa-
tion that this will be addressed, but
in general for the athletes the
stage is set for great performanc-
es, both with regards to the vil-
lages and with regards to the
sports facilities.
But the accommodation situa-
tion for non-athletes threatened to
become a major embarrassment for
organizers when some Olympic-
accredited people were turned away
in recent days from unfinished
hotels, or checked into unnished
rooms.
Organizers estimate that thou-
sands of media will be arriving in
Sochi on Monday. About 11, 000
overall are expected to be cover-
ing Russias rst Winter Games.
Spectators are expected to ood in
later in the week.
IOC spokesman Mark Adams
conceded there were hotels that
werent nished.
That doesnt mean theyre
empty shells with no beds or what-
ever, he said, adding that 41,000
rooms were being provided for the
Sochi Games and, of those,
20,000 were brand new.
I also understand not a single
person has gone without a room,
he said. All round, I think I can
assure you that people will get the
rooms they need.
Alarm bells are ringing in

O
f all my PHS/SPCAco-workers,
the one we call Miss Behavin i s
among my very favorites. Shes
fascinating, actually. One week, shes a
dirty blond from the Southwest. The next
week, an Asian American who grew up
right here on the Peninsula. Then, she
becomes a brunette with an accent people
have trouble placing. Give up? Miss
Behavin is actually a name weve given
to the collective group of ladies who make
up PHS/SPCAs Behavior and Training
Department. They split their time between
working with our shelter animals to make
them more adoptable (and training volun-
teers to do the same), and providing serv-
ices for members of the public, including
the areas best obedience classes and a free
behavior helpline. We dont get quite as
many calls as we used to this may be,
in part, due to the availability of behavior
and training resources online. It could also
be that we dont promote this fantastic,
free service well enough. Its simple. You
call and leave a message, briey describ-
ing your pets issue and Miss Behavin
will call back, usually within 24 hours. Is
your kitty not using her covered litter
box? Thats a soft-ball teed-up for Miss
Behavin. Shell explain that while a cov-
ered litter box is good for you as odors are
kept in the box, its not comfortable for
your cat, due to the strong odor, moist lit-
ter and low ceiling. Does your dog bark
constantly at strangers? No problem for
our behavior experts. Do you know the
must dos for your new puppys rst week
at home? Miss Behavin does. Are you
having trouble teaching your dog tricks or
getting your cat to stop using the back of
your couch as a scratching post? Miss
Behavin is all over that. Call 650/ 340-
7022 ext. 183. We can even answer ques-
tions in Spanish, so please pass this
along to your Spanish-speaking friends.
Same number, extension 186.

dle in his arm. He was 46.
Two law enforcement ofcials, who spoke
to The Associated Press on condition of
anonymity because they were not author-
ized to talk about the evidence, said the
actor apparently died of a drug overdose.
Glassine envelopes containing what was
believed to be heroin were found with him,
they said.
Hoffman no matinee idol, with his
lumpy build and limp blond hair made his
career mostly as a character actor, and was
one of the most prolic in the business,
plying his craft with a rumpled naturalism
that also made him one of the most admired
performers of his generation.
The stage-trained actor was nominated for
Academy Awards four times in all: for
Capote, The Master, Doubt and
Charlie Wilsons War. He also received
three Tony nominations for his work on
Broadway, which included an acclaimed turn
as the weary and defeated Willy Loman in
Death of a Salesman.
Hoffman spoke candidly over the years
about past struggles with drug addiction.
After 23 years sober, he admitted in inter-
views last year to falling off the wagon and
developing a heroin problem that led to a
stint in rehab.
Tributes poured in from other Hollywood
gures.
One of the greatest actors of a generation
and a sweet, funny & humble man, actor
Ricky Gervais tweeted. Director Spike Lee
said on Twitter: Damn, We Lost Another
Great Artist.
And Kevin Costner said in an AP inter-
view: Philip was a very important actor
and really takes his place among the real
great actors. Its a shame. Who knows what
he would have been able to do? But were
left with the legacy of the work hes done
and it all speaks for itself.
No words for this. He was too great and
were too shattered, said Mike Nichols,
who directed Hoffman in Charlie Wilsons
War and Death of a Salesman.
The law enforcement ofcials said
Hoffmans body was discovered in a bathroom
at his Greenwich Village apartment by a friend
who made the 911 call and his assistant.
Late Sunday, a police crime-scene van was
parked out front, and technicians carrying
brown paper bags went in and out. Police
kept a growing crowd of onlookers back. A
single red daisy had been placed in front of
the lobby door.
Hoffmans family called the news tragic
and sudden. Hoffman is survived by his
partner of 15 years, Mimi ODonnell, and
their three children.
We are devastated by the loss of our
beloved Phil and appreciate the outpouring
of love and support we have received from
everyone, the family said in a statement.
In one of his earliest screen roles, he
played a spoiled prep school student in
Scent of a Woman in 1992. One of his
breakthroughs came as a gay member of a
porno lm crew in Boogie Nights, one of
several movies directed by Paul Thomas
Anderson that he would eventually appear in.
He often played comic, slightly off-kilter
characters in movies like Along Came
Polly, The Big Lebowski and Almost
Famous.
More recently, he was Plutarch
Heavensbee in The Hunger Games:
Catching Fire and was reprising that role
in the two-part sequel, The Hunger
Games: Mockingjay, which is in the
works. And in Moneyball, he played Art
Howe, the grumpy manager of the Oakland
Athletics who resisted new thinking about
baseball talent.

in which one can speak to venture capital-
ists, as well as classes on business and web-
site preparation. The college will host some
classes as well.
Were trying to create a meeting place for
great minds, said Susan Barnes, director of
the new center. You could try on a new
product or see how to run a business effec-
tively. [To start a business], you have to be
attorneys, HR (human resource) people and
have auxiliary skills to be successful.
Barnes has even initiated conversations
with Stanford University about helping
with business classes.
The incubator, located in a one-story
5,000-square-foot space at 458 San Mateo
Ave. in San Bruno, will host a soft opening
of the center Tuesday, Feb. 18.
People can come in to kick the tires,
said Barnes, who previously worked as an
economic development consultant for cities
like Redwood City. Well start to offer
classes and do recruitment. Its open to
everyone and has a broad range of classes.
The San Mateo County Community
College District funded the incubator for its
rst year with $325,000 to cover costs,
including leasing the space. The center is a
separate entity though.
We are looking for partners to continue
funding it, Barnes said.
The center is located near Caltrain in
downtown San Bruno, which makes it a con-
venient location for those who wish to use
its services. She also sees this as an oppor-
tunity to help the downtown area.
Were looking forward to being part of
the renaissance for revitalization of the
city, said Barnes, who grew up in San
Mateo and helped initiate Palo Altos busi-
ness improvement district. I know these
cities really well and am able to play with
some of the niches we have. Ive been
working with businesses for a long time;
its a passion.
Cherie Colin, director of marketing, com-
munications and public relations for
Skyline, said the incubator is like building
a bicycle while riding it. Barnes agrees,
noting the process of opening the center is
like operating a startup.
At this stage, there are so many details to
get the incubator running, said Barnes.
We just got the keys two weeks ago.
Barnes also notes it will be geared to two
tiers of entrepreneurs: one that needs basic
skills and for serial entrepreneurs.
Regina Stanback Stroud, Skylines presi-
dent, was tremendously visionary in sup-
porting project, Barnes said.
The target date for the grand opening of
the center is Thursday, May 8.

SKYLINE
By Kimberly Hefling
WASHINGTON Theres been
no real reduction in the number of
U.S. school shootings despite
increased security put in place
after the rampage at
Connecticuts Sandy Hook
Elementary School in December
2012.
In Pennsylvania and New
Mexico, Colorado and Tennessee,
and elsewhere, gunfire has echoed
through school hallways, and
killed students or their teachers
in some cases. Lockdown is
now part of the school vocabu-
lary.
An Associated Press analysis
finds that there have been at least
11 school shootings this academ-
ic year alone, in addition to other
cases of gun violence, in school
parking lots and elsewhere on
campus, when classes were not in
session.
Last August, for example, a gun
discharged in a 5-year-olds back-
pack while students were waiting
for the opening bell in the cafete-
ria at Westside Elementary
School in Memphis. No one was
hurt.
Experts say the rate of school
shootings is statistically
unchanged since the mid- to late-
1990s, yet still remains trou-
bling.
Ronald Stephens, executive
director of the National School
Safety Center, said there have
been about 500 school-associated
violent deaths in the past 20
years.
The numbers dont include a
string of recent shootings at col-
leges and universities. Just last
week, a man was shot and critical-
ly wounded at the Palm Bay
Campus of Eastern Florida State
College, according to police.
Finding factors to blame, right-
fully or not, is almost the easy
part: bad parenting, easy access
to guns, less value for the sancti-
ty of life, violent video games, a
broken mental health system.
Stopping the violence isnt .
I think thats one of the major
problems. There are not easy
answers, Stephens said. Aline I
often use is do everything you
can, knowing you cant do every-
thing.
Bill Bond, who was principal at
Heath High School in West
Paducah in 1997 when a 14-year-
old freshman fired on a prayer
group, killing three female stu-
dents and wounding ve, sees few
differences in how shootings are
carried out today. The one consis-
tency, he said, is that the shooters
are males confronting hopeless-
ness.
You see troubled young men
who are desperate and they strike
out and they dont see that they
have any hope, Bond said.
Schools generally are much
safer than they were five, 10 or
15 years ago, Stephens said.
While a single death is one too
many, Stephens noted that per-
spective is important. In
Chicago there were 500 homi-
cides in 2012, about the same
number in the nations 132,000-
plus K-12 schools over two
decades.
I believe schools are much
safer than they used to be but
clearly they still have a good
ways to go, Stephens said.
The recent budget deal in
Congress provides $140 million
to support safe school environ-
ments, and is a $29 million
increase, according to the office
of Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa,
chairman of the Senate Health,
Education, Labor and Pensions
Committee.
About 90 percent of districts
have tightened security since the
Newtown shootings, estimates
Randi Weingarten, the president
of the American Federation of
Teachers.
Many schools now have elabo-
rate school safety plans and more
metal detectors, surveillance
cameras and fences. Theyve
taken other steps, too, such as
requiring ID badges and dress
codes. Similar to fire drills, some
schools practice locking down
classrooms, among their
responses to potential violence.
The incident involving the 5-
year-old in Memphis led to the use
of hand-held metal detecting
wands inside elementary schools
in Shelby Countys school dis-
trict.
Attention also has focused on
hiring school resource officers,
sworn law enforcement officers
who are trained to work in a
school environment, said Mo
Canady, executive director of
the National Association of
School Resource Officers. He
said his organization estimates
there are about 10,000 of them
in the U.S.
Canady said it was such an offi-
cer who helped avert more blood-
shed at Arapahoe High School in
the Denver suburb of Centennial
when an 18-year-old student took
a shotgun into the building on
Dec. 13 and fatally shot another
student.
Despite safety emphasis, school shootings continue
Fight near middle
school sparks shooting
SAN JOSE An argument led to a shoot-
ing near a middle school campus in San Jose
on Friday night that sent a young man to
the hospital, a police spokesman said
today.
Ofcers responded around 9:40 p.m. to
reports of a shooting in the 3100 block of
Oakgate Way and found a man suffering from
at least one gunshot wound, San Jose police
spokesman Ofcer Albert Morales said.
The man was taken to an area hospital
where he remained as of Saturday afternoon.
Morales said he did not have information
about the mans condition.
The shooting was apparently sparked by a
ght between the victim and his friends and
the shooter and his friends in the area of
Quimby Oak Middle School at 3190
Quimby Road, the spokesman said.
Ofcers searched the campus and the sur-
rounding area but were unable to locate the
suspects, who had ed the scene.
Morales said it does not appear that the
gunman and victim knew one another
before the confrontation, nor does it appear
to be a gang-related attack.
Police continue to investigate the
shooting and are attempting to locate the
shooter.

Poverty looks different here,
Jackson said.
A number of factors play a role in
the hunger gap in San Mateo County
and not all of them are quantifiable to
pinpoint if the 10 percent increase in
meal need also reflects other changes
in those needing a safety net.
However, Jackson said California as
a whole ranks last in states for food
stamp use among qualified individu-
als in part because each county oper-
ates its own system. San Mateo
Countys use hovers about 40 percent
while, in comparison, neighboring
Santa Clara County is more than 50
percent. Santa Clara County in gener-
al has a narrower meal gap in part
because its housing costs are lower,
Jackson said.
In San Mateo County, Jackson said
Second Harvest has two categories of
user people whose need might be
short-lived and due to an unforeseen
circumstance and working families
who need help getting by. The second
group is more worrisome because the
cost of living isnt going down,
Jackson said.
Its not episodic so how are you
going to bridge that? Jackson said.
Looking forward, Jackson said her
two biggest worries include one
nationally and one closer to home.
The first is recent cuts to the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program, known as SNAP or more
commonly food stamps. The average
family receives between $240 and
$270 in benefits and will lose about
$90, Jackson said.
Can we possibly make that up?
The answer is no, she said.
The local issue on Jacksons mind
is drought. More than half the food
distributed by Second Harvest Food
Bank is fresh food and produce. Alack
of rain means reduced crops and there-
fore less product for the food bank.
What is available is also likely to see
price spikes. With so much of the
fresh produce donated, Jackson said
the bank may not receive as much and
therefore be left needing to buy
replacements.
One silver lining to the Hunger
Index statistics is the increase in
food assistance even if it is lower
than other counties or states,
Jackson said. Literally one out of
every six people receive some type
of food assistance which makes it
more likely that people know some-
one who has visited a food bank, col-
lected food stamps or taken some
other type of aid. Recognition takes
away some of the stigma and encour-
ages the needy to have the courage to
ask for help, Jackson said.
The toughest part is putting a face
on local hunger, Jackson said.

HUNGER
their four children in Half Moon Bay.
Theyre dedicated stewards of their
land and manage strictly grass-fed
cows with strong heritage breed
bloodlines, Markegard said. Theyve
spent 26 years building on the genet-
ics of their cattle and their 1,000
acres of farmland is withering the
drought, Markegard said.
This is by far the worst condi-
tions weve ever experienced,
Markegard said.
They usually work on rotational
grazing but three years of minimal
rainfall has dried much of their land
so theyre supplementing with
expensive hay, Markegard said.
Weve been having to import feed
like weve never have before and its
really costly and were having to
make some really difficult decisions
for our cattle operations, Markegard
said.
Many cattle ranchers have two
options, grow their own grass or
depend on the increasingly expen-
sive imported feed, said Fred
Crowder, San Mateo County agricul-
tural commissioner.
We have cattleman that are reliant
on winter grass and there just isnt
any and theyre really concerned
because theyre having to buy grass
and feed, Crowder said.
Its a chain reaction; as the demand
for feed increases, prices skyrocket,
said Bill Gass, executive director of
the San Mateo County Farm Bureau.
[The drought is] already affecting
them because they rely on new grass.
Usually new grass is already pretty
established by now, Gass said. So
there would usually be a fair amount,
but its not happening. Coupled with
the fact that hay prices have risen
dramatically, its prohi bi t i vel y
expensive for them to rely on grass
thats [imported,] Gass said.
With increasing costs, some will
sell off their livestock and thin their
herd to be more manageable during
the drought, Gass said.
Markegards family ranch is an ani-
mal welfare certified operation so
she said theyre not able to sell at
auction. They usually send younger
cows to slaughter but theyve been
sending breeding cows instead.
When theyre forced to sell a healthy
heifer, they lose out on every calf
she could have born, Markegard said.
The drought is disrupting the genet-
ics theyve spent decades refining,
Markegard said.
Weve brought in bloodlines and
weve been preserving this heritage
breed which has been very costly for
us to build up to this point and, with
this drought, its going to set us off
our trajectory, Markegard said.
Although everyones situation is
different, those who are selling off
their livestock will eventually feel
the sting of the market after the
drought subsides, said Half Moon
Bay cattleman Bob Marsh.
Everybodys in the same situa-
tion, so the price would be sky high
to build their herd back, Marsh said.
Being proactive and having new
wells drilled on farmland has also
become competitive, Gass said.
Because of concerns about other
sources of water that might be
unavailable or curtailed, people
around the state are putting in new
wells. And I understand well drillers
are just swamped, theyre back-
logged, theres a waiting list because
theyre so busy right now, Gass
said.
With less access to water, they
grow fewer commodities and the job
market is plummeting, Muller said.
Its your income number one, and
employing individuals that help us
all on our farms. So were all very
concerned about employment and
also for the financial aspect that we
do need to have something to sell if
were going to survive and were all
looking pretty thin right now,
Muller said.
Produce growers are on the edge of
their seats, especially those whose
smaller wells or reservoirs are drying
up quickly. Theyre trying to stay
positive, but weather conditions will
determine what people can afford to
grow, Muller said.
Theres still time for an easier
recovery if the county sees a signifi-
cant rainfall between now and March,
Gass said. But for many ranchers,
their livestock has already become
difficult to maintain and theyve dra-
matically reduced production. As a
major national agricultural producer,
the effects of Californias drought
will extend far past state lines, Gass
said.
The long-term effects of this
drought is more than one year, if it
goes into multiple years, we could
see a significant increase in the cost
of food, Gass said. It could affect
the whole system.

BANGKOK Thailand held
nationwide elections without
bloodshed Sunday despite wide-
spread fears of violence. But the
countrys bitter political crisis is
far from over, and one of the next
ash points is likely to be an
effort to nullify the vote.
Although balloting was largely
peaceful, protesters forced thou-
sands of polling booths to close
in Bangkok and the south, disen-
franchising millions of registered
voters. Not all Parliament seats
will be lled as a result, meaning
the nation could stay mired in
political limbo for months with
the winning party unable to form a
new government.
The struggle to hold the vote
was part of a 3-month-old conict
that has split the country between
supporters of Prime Minister
Yingluck Shinawatra and protest-
ers who allege her government is
too corrupt to rule.
The crisis, in which demonstra-
tors have occupied major intersec-
tions across Bangkok and forced
government ministries to shut down
and work elsewhere, overshadowed
the polls run-up to such an extent
that campaigning and stump speech-
es laying out party platforms were
virtually non-existent.
Rather than a contest among
candidates, it was about whether
the election itself could happen,
said Sunai Phasuk of Human
Rights Watch. That in itself says
a lot about the fate of democracy in
Thailand its hanging by a
thread.
Television stations, which nor-
mally broadcast electoral results,
were reduced to projecting graph-
ics not of party victories and loss-
es, but of which constituencies
were open or closed.
Official results cannot be
announced until a series of by-
elections are held and all districts
have voted. The first will take
place Feb. 23.
In Bangkok, protesters sur-
rounded government ofces hous-
ing ballot papers, preventing
them from being delivered. They
also pressured electoral ofcials
not to report for duty, and in some
cases physically preventing peo-
ple from voting.
Infuriated voters cut the chains
off polling stations that had been
locked, futilely demanding that
they be allowed to cast ballots. In
one downtown district, they hurled
bottles at each other and one
demonstrator red a gunshot after
several people tried to push past a
blockade. After authorities called
off voting there, angry crowds
stormed into the district ofce.
We want an election. We are
Thais, said Narong Meephol, a
63-year-old Bangkok resident
who was waving his voter identi-
cation card. We are here to exer-
cise our rights.
Thai elections peaceful, but crisis far from over

JERUSALEM Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on
Sunday rejected U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerrys warning
against a growing boycott move-
ment against the Jewish state
should peace talks with the
Palestinians fail, saying the
stance undermined Israels legiti-
macy and the chances of reaching
a peace agreement.
The latest brush-up with the
United States comes as Israel is
negotiating with the Palestinians
against a backdrop of increasing
international pressure to reach a
deal, coupled with a growing call
for boycotting Israel over its set-
tlements in areas it captured in the
1967 Middle East war.
A small but growing number of
European businesses and pension
funds have begun to drop invest-
ments or limit trade with Israeli
rms involved in the West Bank
settlements. At a security confer-
ence in Germany this weekend,
Kerry warned that a breakdown in
Israeli-Palestinian talks would
accelerate this trend and could
threaten Israels economic pros-
perity and its safety.
You see for Israel theres an
increasing de-legitimization cam-
paign that has been building up.
People are very sensitive to it.
There are talk of boycotts and
other kinds of things, Kerry said.
Todays status quo absolutely, to
a certainty, I promise you 100 per-
cent, cannot be maintained. Its
not sustainable. Its illusionary.
Theres a momentary prosperity,
theres a momentary peace.
At the opening of his weekly
Cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said
international pressure on Israel
would backre and only cause the
Palestinians to harden their posi-
tions.
Attempts to impose a boycott
on the State of Israel are immoral
and unjust. Moreover, they will
not achieve their goal, he said.
While Netanyahu refrained from
taking aim at Kerry, some of his
ministers were harsher.
Intelligence Minister Yuval
Steinitz, of Netanyahus ruling
Likud party, called Kerrys com-
ments offensive, unfair and
insufferable.

BEIRUT Syrian government
helicopters and warplanes
unleashed a wave of airstrikes on
more than a dozen opposition-held
neighborhoods in the northern
city of Aleppo on Sunday, ring
missiles and dropping crude barrel
bombs in a ferocious attack that
killed at least 36 people, including
17 children, activists said.
Aleppo has been a key battle-
ground in Syrias civil war since
rebels swept into the city in mid-
2012 and wrested most of the east-
ern and southern neighborhoods
from the government. Since then,
the fighting has settled into a
bloody grind, with neither side
capable of mounting an offensive
that would expel its opponents
from the city.
But over the past two months,
President Bashar Assads air force
has ramped up its aerial campaign
on rebel-held areas of Aleppo,
pounding them with barrel bombs
containers packed with explo-
sives, fuel and scraps of metal
that cause massive damage on
impact.
On Sunday alone, Syrian mili-
tary aircraft targeted 15 opposi-
tion-controlled neighborhoods,
said an activist who goes by the
name of Abu al-Hassan Marea.
The Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights
monitoring group said the Tariq al-
Bab district on the eastern edge of
the city was the hardest-hit, with at
least eight barrel bombs raining
down on it Sunday. Marea said one
of the air raids in the neighborhood
struck a vegetable market and
another landed near a mosque.
The Aleppo Media Center
activist group said the strike near
the Abdullah bin Masoud Mosque
killed more than 10 people.
The Observatory put the days
death toll in the air raids at 36,
including 17 children. Marea said
that more than 50 people were
killed in the airstrikes, although he
did not have an exact count.
An amateur video posted online
showed a helicopter circling in the
blue sky, and then a barrel plum-
meting from the aircraft until it
slams into buildings on the hori-
zon, sending a pillar of smoke and
dust into the air. The video
appeared genuine and corresponded
to other Associated Press reporting
of the events depicted.
This is not the rst time that
Assads air force has waged an
intense campaign over Aleppo. In
December, military helicopters
pounded rebel-held districts of the
city with barrel bombs, leveling
buildings, burying people under
the rubble and killing more than
500 people over a two-week
stretch.
The misery in Aleppo was then
compounded in early January by an
outburst of rebel-on-rebel ghting,
which has weakened the opposi-
tions grip on parts of the city.
Over the past two weeks, Assads
forces have slowly chipped away at
the rebels hold on neighborhoods
in southeastern Aleppo. While the
advances have been small, they
still mark the most significant
government gains in the divided
city since opposition fighters
seized the areas in mid-2012.
As intense as the airstrikes have
been, the rebels position in the
city and across northern Syria has
been undermined to a greater
degree by the bloody bout of
inghting that pits the al-Qaida-
linked Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant against an array of ultra-
conservative brigades and more
moderate factions.
The rebel clashes have killed
more than 1,400 people since they
began a month ago, and the ght-
ing shows little sign of coming to
an immediate close.
On Saturday, a twin suicide
bombing killed 26 people, includ-
ing a senior military commander of
the Tawhid Brigade, a prominent
rebel group opposed to the Islamic
State.
The attack, widely blamed by
both pro- and anti-al-Qaida
activists on the Islamic State, tar-
geted the base of its rivals in the
Tawhid Brigade and killed senior
leader Adnan Bakkour, said
Observatory director Rami
Abdurrahman.
The Islamic State also killed
another prominent commander,
Abu Hussein al-Dik of Suqour al-
Sham, on Saturday near the central
city of Hama, the Observatory said.
Abdurrahman said al-Dik was killed
in an ambush outside of Hama,
where he was traveling to try to
help rebels encircled by Islamic
State ghters.
Both the Tawhid Brigade and
Suqour al-Sham are part of the
Islamic Front, a powerful alliance
of seven Islamist rebel factions
that united in November. The
Islamic Front has emerged as a
heavy weight in northern Syria,
and has been a driving force in the
ght against the Islamic State.

MOUNT SINABUNG, Indonesia
The death toll from an
Indonesian volcano that has been
rumbling for months rose to 16
Sunday after rescuers found anoth-
er charred corpse and a critically
injured college student died in a
hospital, ofcials said.
Mount Sinabung erupted again
Saturday just a day after authori-
ties allowed thousands of vil-
lagers who had been evacuated to
return to its slopes, saying vol-
canice activity was decreasing.
Rescuers found 14 bodies and res-
cued three people with burn
wounds, said National Disaster
Mitigation Agency spokesman
Sutopo Purwo Nugroho.
Rescue efforts resumed Sunday
and rescuers found another body
about three kilometers (two
miles) from the volcanos peak,
said Lt. Col. Asep Sukarna, who
led the operation. Another resi-
dent, a 24-year-old college stu-
dent died in an intensive care unit,
said an official at the Efarina
Etaham hospital.
Among the dead were a local tel-
evision journalist and four high-
school students and their teacher
who were visiting the mountain
to see the eruptions up close,
Nugroho said. At least three other
people were injured and authori-
ties fear the death toll will rise.
Sinabung in western Sumatra
has been erupting for four
months. Authorities had evacuat-
ed more than 30,000 people,
housing them in cramped tents,
schools and public buildings, but
many were desperate to return to
check on homes and farms.
On Friday, authorities allowed
nearly 14,000 people living out-
side a ve-kilometer (three-mile)
danger zone to return after believ-
ing volcanic activity had
decreased. Others living close to
the peak have been returning to
their homes over the past four
months despite the dangers.
On Saturday, a series of huge
blasts and eruptions thundered
from the 2,600-meter (8,530-
foot) volcano. Television footage
showed villages, farms and trees
covered in thick gray ash.

The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much

when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!
Lisa K. San Jose, 2013
I came in to Dr. Ferrigno for
lower back pain. Its a problem
that I have had for about 10 to
15 years. I tried everything from
physiatrists, medical doctors,
doctor of osteopathy, chiropractic,
acupuncture, pain medications,
epidural injections and everything
was a temporary fx. I decided to try
the DRX therapy and Ive gone from
an average pain level between 5/7
out of 10 all the way down to a pain
level of 1 to 2 pretty consistently.
The DRX was defnitely the only
thing that has made me feel better.
Brian G. Los Gatos CA. 2013
How Will I Know If I Qualify
for Treatment?
When you come in for a
complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform
a comprehensive examination to
determine exactly where the pain is
coming from. If x-rays are necessary,
we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
treatment protocol.
If we dont feel like we can help we
will refer you to someone who can.
