Beach owner claims threats

Martins Beach manager says hes received death threats, wants approval to ban public
By Samantha Weigel

trespassed, engaged in vandalism
and even made death threats

Philz Coffee held a job fair in downtown Redwood City Wednesday to hire baristas for its new location on Broadway.

One barista at a time

Concerned members of the Mills

High School community turned
out for a special San Mateo Union
High School District board meeting to encourage district leadership to find a new campus for the
Design Tech High School.
Residents, students and teachers
implored the Board of Trustees during the meeting at Hillsdale High
School Tuesday night to take the
charter school off the Mills campus, and move it to a new location
where d.tech could flourish without impacting an existing high
school.
Trustees did not make a decision
regarding where the charter school
would be relocated, and instead

asked district staff to come back

with more exact information on
costs associated with relocating
the school.
D.tech needs its own site so
that it can have its own identity,
said Maureen Seto, a Mills parent,
who has previously opposed the
charters co-location on the Mills
campus in Millbrae.
The district is currently considering a variety of available longterm and short-term options for
relocating d.tech, including moving it to the former Crestmoor
High School site in San Bruno,
onto property owned by either the
San Mateo County Office of
Education or San Mateo County, or
to a parcel of land in Redwood

Teachers and district hit negotiation deadlock

Millbrae educators come to impasse over proposed pay raises
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Teachers and administration in the

Millbrae Elementary School District
reached an impasse in contract negotiations, but officials said they are hopeful
that an agreement can be found soon.
District leaders and members of the
Millbrae Education Association agreed to
engage in contract mediation with an unbiased third party to help both sides find a
common ground at the bargaining table.
Sticking points in the negotiation
revolve around the unions desire to receiving a proposed 4 percent raise, while the
district is offering to increase annual
salaries by 2 percent, according to a district
document.
Teachers are also asking for $2,000 in
payments from the district toward health
and welfare premiums, while the district is
offering an $827 one-time payment, according to the document.
The two sides met for an eight-hour mediation session last week, and will go back for
a second meeting Feb. 11.
Though both parties have agreed to not
speak publicly about the negotiations,
Superintendent Lisa Luna said she is optimistic about the process.
I am hopeful for a resolution soon, she
said.
Officials said they agree that the teachers
deserve a raise, but said they are also trying
to balance the pay increase with an effort to
restore other programs and services recently
cut during leaner budget times.

We want to give them a raise, its just not
enough of a raise, said Frank Barbaro,
member of the Board of Trustees.
Luna cited the desire to hire more classified personnel, such as maintenance workers, technical support staff and custodians,
as targets for the district that run concurrent
to negotiations with teachers.
Barbaro agreed with Lunas assessment of
the districts priorities.
We are obligated to restore a lot of the
programs that we cut, and the personnel that
we cut, said Barbaro, who noted that the
school board is not part of the bargaining
process. If we can restore some of these
positions, they do help the teachers.
Teachers though are frustrated by the
administrations unwillingness to agree to
the proposed 4 percent raise, while the district continues searching to add more classified staff, according to a report circulated
among members of the union.
The district is currently searching for two
supervisors, overseeing the business services and maintenance departments, which
teachers estimate may cost the district
between $250,000 and $300,000, according to a district report.

last week, the union report expressed dissatisfaction with the bargaining process.

was angry and disappointed with the little

progress that was made today is an understatement, said the report.
The report said teachers are due for a raise,
citing that they are one of the lowest paid
unions on the Peninsula.
According to a report from the California
Department of Education, teachers in
Millbrae made an average of roughly
$69, 100 last year. The average annual
income for elementary school teachers in
San Mateo County last year was roughly
$73,900 per year.
Teachers in the northern region of the
county, including Burlingame, South San
Francisco, San Mateo-Foster City and San
Bruno earned an average of about $65,900
last year, according to the state report.
Teachers last year accepted a 4 percent
raise, as well as a 1.5 percent pay increase
to health and welfare benefits.
Luna said the district is hoping that the
two sides can agree to a multi-year contract
going forward.
Barbaro echoed those sentiments, and
said that annual negotiations makes the bargaining process more difficult for the district.
We are trying to get away from negotiating every year, Barbaro said. We would
really like to get a two- or three-year contract, because we are going back to negotiations every year and the contract is over so
fast.

Executive gets three

Laurel Way planned development not legal

A Hillsborough executive who pleaded no

contest to possession of child pornography
last year was sentenced
Tuesday to three years of
probation
and
six
months in jail, prosecutors said Wednesday.
However,
Gordon
Bardet, 64, could avoid
jail time if he is admitted
to a work release proGordon Bardet gram, according to the
San
Mateo
County
District Attorneys Office.
Bardet, the chief executive officer of the
San Mateo-based engineering and manufacturing company Pioneer Motor Bearing
Co., first came under investigation by the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security in
2011 based on an Internet discussion.
He was searched at San Francisco
International Airport as he returned from the
United Kingdom on Aug. 29 of that year.
Investigators found child pornography on
his laptop and then searched his home and
found other laptops and disks containing
child pornography.
He did not have enough child pornography for federal prosecutors to bring charges,
but the county district attorneys office filed
two felony counts of possession of child
pornography.
Bardet reached a plea deal with prosecutors
last November and pleaded no contest to one
count in exchange for a sentence of no more
than 16 months in prison.
In addition to the probation and possible
jail sentence, Bardet must register as a sex
offender for life, participate in a treatment
program, submit to random polygraph testing and have no contact with children.
His defense attorneys were not immediately available for comment.

A judge has blocked the construction of 16

homes planned to be built on Laurel Way in
Redwood City and ruled the city must set
aside permits granted to the developer.
San Mateo County Superior Court Judge
Marie Weiner sided with the group Save
Laurel Way that argued the city demonstrated
an abuse of discretion by approving an
environmental report and issuing a Planned
Development Permit for the project to move
forward. Weiner issued her decision Friday
which can be appealed within 15 days.
The developers attorney, Bill Warhurst,
told the Daily Journal Wednesday that
Weiners decision is under review and that a
decision to appeal has yet to be made.
The judges decision vacates the citys
approval of the Laurel Way Joint Venture
Planned Development Permit and the citys
certification of a revised environmental
impact report on the findings the lots on
Laurel Way were not created legally.
We are worried about risky and dangerous
hillside construction, said Save Laurel
Ways Beverly Purrington. We are delighted
with the judges decision.
The judges decision does not mean, however, that the lots cannot someday be developed, city spokeswoman Meghan Horrigan
told the Daily Journal Wednesday.
Building new homes in a hillside area like
Laurel Way is a complex endeavor with many
different interested party viewpoints. The
city appreciates the courts guidance and will
consider the courts decision as it evaluates
the proposed development of upper Laurel
Way, Horrigan said.

The city has not decided yet whether to

appeal the decision, she said.
The developer first approached the city
with the proposal in 2007 but attempts to
develop on Laurel Way date back to the 1960s
when the city argued that development of the
lots posed substantial risks, Purrington said.
The developer sought to build 16 houses
and a bi-level road on 4.75 acres of neverdeveloped, steeply-sloped, wooded hillsides.
Save Laurel Way, a grassroots community
group that filed the civil lawsuit, hopes
Weiners decision serves as a wake-up call
for the city that development is not suitable
for the area.
City planners have continued to present
new hillside regulation recommendations to
the Planning Commission as recently as Jan.
20 that Save Laurel Way calls vague.
Weiners ruling states that the facts and
law do not support a finding that there are 16
legal lots upon which 16 homes can be built
and do not support a finding that the property owners have a vested right to develop each
of the 16 alleged lots.
The city made its decisions based on the
advice of staff and assertions made by the
project owners that the lots had been legally
transferred or created, Weiner wrote in her
decision.
Weiner wrote in her decision that the citys
factual and legal error infects the entirety of
the decision-making process leading to the
granting of a Planned Development Permit,
the entry of Resolutions, and certification of
the Revised Final EIR.
The city had argued that the lots were lawfully created through a 1926 subdivision map
long before the area was annexed by the city.
Weiner, however, ruled that the city could not
prove that finding.

Inmate dies at San

Francisco County Jail in San Bruno
The death of a 57-year-old inmate on
Monday morning at a San Francisco County
Jail in San Bruno remains under investigation.
The inmate, identified as San Francisco resident Alvin Haynes, reportedly died at San
Francisco County Jail No. 5 at 1 Moreland
Drive in San Bruno around 10:30 a.m.
Monday, according to Chief Deputy Kathy
Gorwood, a spokeswoman for the San
Francisco Sheriffs Department.
Gorwood said Haynes had previously been
arrested for burglary, receiving or buying
stolen property, possession of burglary
tools and resisting or delaying arrest. He was
remanded into custody on a probation violation for possession of a controlled substance.
Gorwood did not say what led up to Haynes
death.
An autopsy is being conducted since there
is no clear medical history that explains the
inmates death, according to the San Mateo
County Coroners Office.
Since the jail is located in San Bruno, an
investigation into the death will be handled
by the San Mateo County District
Attorneys, Sheriffs and Coroners offices.
The San Francisco Sheriffs Department
will also investigate Haynes death and the

State declares electronic cigarettes a health threat

By Fenit Nirappil
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO California
health officials Wednesday declared
electronic cigarettes a health threat
that should be strictly regulated
like tobacco products, joining
other states and health advocates
across the U.S. in seeking tighter
controls as vaping grows in popularity.
The California Department of

research needs to be done to determine the immediate and long-term
health effects.
E-cigarettes are not as harmful
as conventional cigarettes, but ecigarettes are not harmless said
California Health Officer Ron
Chapman. They are not safe.
New generations of young people will become nicotine addicts if
the products remain largely unregulated, Chapman said. Last year,
17 percent of high school seniors
reported using
e-cigarettes,
known as vaping, according to the
report.
Without action, it is likely that
Californias more than two decades
of progress to prevent and reduce
traditional tobacco use will erode
as e-cigarettes re-normalize smoking behavior, the report says.
E-cigarettes heat liquid nicotine
into inhalable vapor without the
tar and other chemicals found in
traditional cigarettes. A cartridge of
nicotine can cost anywhere from
$5 to $20 dollars and can be reused.
California banned the sale of ecigarettes to minors in 2010, but
the report raises concerns about the
products appeal to children with
flavors such as cotton candy and
gummy bear. Reports of children
under 5 with e-cigarette poisoning
jumped from seven in 2012 to 154
last year.
The California report says e-cigarettes emit as many as 10 toxic
chemicals, but advocates say there
is no evidence those substances are
released at dangerous levels.
Despite the health officers
false claims, there is ample evidence that vaping helps smokers

The California Department of Public Health report says e-cigarettes emit cancer-causing chemicals and get users

long-term health effects.

Things to know about e-cigarette health concerns

They are electronic devices that
heat liquid nicotine derived from
tobacco into an inhalable vapor
available in fruity and sweet flavors. Traditional cigarettes burn
tobacco leaves, which also

suggest the products are harmful

to curtail their use. E-cigarettes
emit at least 10 chemicals known
to cause cancer or birth defects,
according to the California report.
The report does not say if these are
released at levels that threaten
health, but Chapman says some
chemicals such as formaldehyde
are never safe. Nicotine is also
harmful to youth brain development. While e-cigarette makers
tout the product as safer than combustible cigarettes, the California
report says there is no evidence
the device helps people quit
smoking.

THE HEALTH RISKS?

HOW POPULAR
ARE E-CIGARETTES?

Many of the long-term effects

of e-cigarettes are not known
because the technology is recent
and research is ongoing. But
Chapman says enough studies

Surveys of students show

The health report says e-cigarettes should be regulated as

tobacco products with restrictions
on marketing and protections
against accidental liquid nicotine
ingestion. SB140 by Sen. Mark
Leno, D-San Francisco, would
expand the states smoke-free
laws to include e-cigarettes and
prevent vaping in public places
such as schools, bars, hospitals
and buses. It would also create
some restrictions to keep the

the dangers of using e-cigarettes.

A state senator introduced legislation this week that would regulate
e-cigarettes as tobacco products
and ban their use in public places
such as hospitals, bars and
schools. A similar bill was defeated
last year over opposition from
tobacco companies.
Chapman, the health official,
would not take a position on legislation, but said his department
would be rolling out an e-cigarette
awareness campaign with possible
television and radio advertisements.
E-cigarettes have become more
visible as they grow in popularity
and commercials for the products
air in places where traditional cigarette ads have been banned.
Businesses related to e-cigarettes,
including vaping lounges, are rapidly popping up in cities across
California.
Geoff Braithwaite, co-owner of
an Oakland store that sells liquid
nicotine for e-cigarettes, said he
understands the need to restrict
vaping in public and prevent sales
to minors. He says his customers
are longtime smokers who should
be able to get a nicotine buzz without the harshness of a regular cigarette.
Nicotine has all this stigma
attached solely to the medium we
used to use, Braithwaite said.
When you try to outright ban ecigarettes, youre lumping in the
solution with the problem.
Other
states,
including
Oklahoma,
Tennessee
and
Arkansas, already have issued advisories cautioning the use of e-cigarettes. Legislatures have been
exploring restrictions on e-cigarette marketing, adding childproof
packaging
requirements
and
imposing taxes to discourage use.
Health officials want to be
proactive on this important public
health issue, said Lisa Waddell,
who leads community health and
prevention at the Association of
State and Territorial Health
Officials. The issue of real concern here is we really dont know
everything thats in these products, and you are seeing the rise of
use of these products in our children as well as our adults.

AG nominee defends
President Obamas
immigration changes
By Erica Werner
and Eric Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Confronting
skeptical Republicans, attorney
general nominee Loretta Lynch
pledged a new start with Congress
and independence from President
Barack Obama Wednesday, even as
she defended the presidents unilateral protections for millions of
immigrants in the country illegally.
If confirmed as attorney general, I would be myself. I would be
Loretta Lynch, the nominee told
her Senate confirmation hearing as
Republicans showered criticism
on the current occupant of the job,
Eric Holder. They said Holder was
contemptuous of Congress and too
politically close to Obama, and
repeatedly demanded assurances
that Lynch would do things differently.
Youre not Eric Holder, are
you? Texas Republican John
Cornyn, one of the current attorney generals most persistent critics, asked at one point.
No, Im not, sir, Lynch
responded with a smile.
It was a moment that summed up
a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that was often more about
Obama and Holder than about
Lynch, who is now the top federal
prosecutor for parts of New York

City and Long Island. If confirmed, she would become the

nations first black female attorney general.
Holder, Cornyn contended,
operated as a politician using the
awesome power conferred by our
laws on the attorney general.
Lynch asked the senator to take
note of the independence that Ive
always brought to every particular
matter, and she said that when
merited she would say no to
Obama.
On immigration, Lynch faced
numerous
questions
from
Republicans critical of the administrations new policy granting
work permits and temporary deportation relief to some 4 million
people who are in the country illegally. The committee chairman,
Republican Chuck Grassley of
Iowa, called the effort a dangerous
abuse of executive authority.
Lynch said she had no involvement in drafting the measures but
called them a reasonable way to
marshal limited resources to deal
with the problem of illegal immigration. She said the Homeland
Security Department was focusing
on removals of the most dangerous of the undocumented immigrants among us.
Pressed by Sen. Jeff Sessions of
Alabama, a leading immigration
hard-liner, she said citizenship
was not a right for people in the

country illegally but rather a privilege that must be earned.
However, when Sessions asked
whether individuals in the country
legally or those who are here
unlawfully have more of a right to
a job, Lynch replied, The right
and the obligation to work is one
thats shared by everyone in this
country regardless of how they
came here.
Sessions quickly issued a news

clarified it, stating there is no
right to work for an immigrant

who has no lawful status.

The hearing was the first such
proceeding since Republicans
retook control of the Senate in
January. Although comments from
Sessions and Sen. Ted Cruz, RTexas, as the session neared its
conclusion suggested her stance
on immigration and presidential
authority would cost some
Republican support, Lynch is
expected to win confirmation with
little difficulty, in part because
Republicans are so eager to be rid
of Holder. He has been a lightning
rod for conservatives over the past
six years, clashing continually
with lawmakers and becoming the

first sitting attorney general to be

held in contempt of Congress.
Lynch found occasions to differentiate herself from Holder without
contradicting him.
She stated without hesitation
under questioning from Sen.
Lindsey
Graham,
R-South
Carolina, that she considers the
death penalty an effective punishment and has sought it in her district. That was a rhetorical shift
from Holder, who has expressed
personal reservations about capital punishment, particularly in
light of recent botched executions,
but has also periodically authorized it.

An intoxicated driver who

plowed into the back of a SamTrans

The crash happened just before 6

driving on El Camino Real and
rear-ended a bus stopped at the
intersection with Arroyo Drive,
prosecutors said.
Multiple passengers were injured
and taken to a hospital.

Velasco was not hurt in the crash

and told arriving officers, I hit the
bus, Im a little drunk, prosecutors
said. Police testing found that he
was driving with a blood-alcohol
content of 0.17 percent.
When Velasco was arrested, he
threw up in the back of the officers patrol car. He pleaded no
contest to felony drunk driving
last month in exchange for a
maximum sentence of two years

in prison, prosecutors said.

In addition to his jail and probation sentence, he must pay restitution to six victims, $7,341 to one
and an amount to be determined for
the other five. His driving privileges were suspended and he must
enroll in a nine-month alcohol
abuse program, Gallagher said.
Velascos attorney was not

Study shows insurers

may be using drug costs
to discourage patients
By Kelli Kennedy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Insurance

companies, perhaps more than previously
thought, may be charging the sickest
patients extra for drugs under the federal
health law, in an effort to discourage them
from choosing certain plans, according to a
study released Wednesday.
One of the cornerstones of President
Obamas signature health law forbids insurance companies from turning away people
with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes or cancer. Yet hundreds of patient
advocacy groups say insurance companies
have found a way to discriminate against
these people, who are more expensive to
cover because they require lifelong treatments.
The companies do this by putting all of
their medications in a special category
where the patient is required to pay a percentage of the cost of the drug, rather than a
flat co-pay. Some are as high as 50 percent,
leaving people on the hook for thousands
of dollars. That compares to the average
$10 to $40 per-medication co-pay that
most pay.
A study published in the New England
Journal of Medicine only examined HIV
drugs, but noted the problem applies to
mental illness, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes and other chronic conditions.
Patient advocates have complained that
prescriptions for these patients were virtu-

ally unaffordable in some plans offered on

healthcare.gov.
The AIDS Institute even filed a formal
complaint with Health and Human Services
officials last summer about four plans in
Florida. Georgia plans to file a similar complaint, but the scope of the problem has
been difficult to gauge as many of the complaints have been anecdotal.
The researchers studied 48 plans in 12
states using the federal marketplace:
Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan,
South Carolina, Utah, Illinois, New Jersey,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.
They found that one-quarter of the plans
placed all of the HIV drugs into the highestcost category and required consumers to pay
at least 30 percent of the drug costs instead
of a flat co-pay. Annual drug costs in these
plans were more than triple compared with
other plans ($4,892 to $1,615), according
to the analysis. And 50 percent had to pay a
separate deductible for drugs, compared to
only 19 percent of consumers in other
plans.
Insurers have historically placed drugs in
categories with higher co-pays to encourage consumers to select generic or preferred
brand-name drugs. The problem is exacerbated as more plans place all drugs, including generics, in the more expensive category.
Our findings suggest that many insurers
may be using benefit design to dissuade
sicker people from choosing their plans,
the study noted.

WASHINGTON In a rare show of bipartisanship over President Barack Obamas

health care law, a Senate committee voted
unanimously Wednesday to exclude veterans
from the 50-worker threshold that triggers
required coverage for employees under that
statute.
The Senate Finance Committee vote was
26-0, a departure from the usual party-line
fights over Obamas showcase 2010 law.
Yet senators comments suggested that
party-line battling over many aspects of the
statute and other laws could erupt when
the measure reaches the full Senate.
Lawmakers described potential amendments
ranging from restoring expired tax credits
to paying veterans a $10.10 hourly minimum wage to exempting additional workers
from the 50-employee threshold.
We should consider other categories of
Americans who also should be relieved of
this job-killing provision, said Sen.

Patrick Toomey, R-Pa.

Despite repeated pledges by Republicans
now running Congress to repeal and replace
the health care law, Democrats said the committees actions Wednesday were an
acknowledgment that such efforts were
going nowhere. Obama has promised to
veto any congressional effort to dismantle
the law.
Senators do not make changes to laws
that are going away, said Sen. Ron Wyden,
D-Ore.
Obamas law is gradually phasing in a
requirement that companies with at least 50
workers offer health coverage to their
employees. The Senate bill would let
employers exclude from that count veterans
who receive health care from the
Department of Veterans Affairs or the military.
Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, RUtah, said the bill will help our nations
veterans find needed jobs and encourage
small businesses to hire them.

Census: 1 in 5 children on food stamps

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Sixteen million children

were on food stamps as of last year, the highest number since the nations economy tumbled in 2008.
Numbers released by the Census Bureau
Wednesday as part of its annual look at children and families show that one in five children were on food stamp assistance in 2014.
The survey was taken last spring.
The number of people receiving food
stamps now called the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP
spiked through the recession and has stayed
at a higher level since. In the 2007 Census
survey, 9 million children received SNAP
assistance.
Participation and spending appear to be
going down, though. The Congressional
Budget Office said this week that the government spent $76 billion on SNAP last year,
down 8 percent from the year before. That
was the first time spending went down since
the beginning of the recession.
Around 46.5 million people received food
stamps last year, according to the Agriculture

Department, which oversees the aid, up from

around 26 million in 2007. Participation is
expected to decrease over the next 10 years,
though higher food costs could keep spending up. Half of the children receiving food
stamps in the Census survey 8 million
were living only with their mothers. Around
5 million children receiving food stamps
lived with married parents.
The spike in food stamp spending has
caught the attention of Congress, and House
Republicans tried to cut the program by
around $4 billion a year in 2013. In an eventual compromise, Congress agreed to cuts of
around $800 million a year, policy that was
signed into law by President Barack Obama
early last year as part of a larger farm bill.
Since then, many states have found ways to
get around the cuts.
The SNAP program will still be under
scrutiny in the new Republican Congress.
The new chairman of the House Agriculture
Committee, Texas Rep. Mike Conaway, and
the new chairman of the Senate Agriculture
Committee, Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts, are
both expected to take a look at food stamp
spending in the coming year.

Investors struggled to figure out a

barrage of signals from the Federal
Reserve, oil markets and Corporate
America Wednesday, and stocks fell
sharply for second straight day.
The Federal Reserve issued its first
policy statement of the year, making
clear that it would remain patient in
raising interest rates from near zero,
which was expected. But it also
strengthened its assessment of the
U.S. economy, noting it is expanding
at a solid pace and generating strong
job growth.
Thats good news for Main Street
and Corporate America, but signals
that the Fed is moving closer to raising rates, even if its not contemplating an imminent hike. When interest
rates remain low they tend to make
stocks more attractive by comparison
to bonds.
The market is, on one hand, happy
the Fed is saying things look solid,
but it means at some point we will get
that first rate hike, said Quincy
Krosby, market strategist for
Prudential Financial.
Investors were buffeted by other
cross currents. Impressive earnings
from Apple and Boeing made
investors optimistic and lifted stocks
early. But when benchmark U.S. oil

later sank to its lowest level in nearly

six years, investors worried about
worsening earnings prospects for
energy companies.
The Energy Department reported
that U.S. oil inventories rose to their
highest levels ever recorded. Those
high supplies drove crude prices to
the lowest level since March 2009.
Benchmark U.S. crude fell $1.78 to
close at $44.45 a barrel in New York.
As recently as June, it traded above
$100.
Inflation has stayed ultra-low partly
because of the plunge in energy prices
and a steadily rising dollar. The Fed
noted it anticipates inflation will
decline further before starting to rise
gradually.
Prices for the benchmark 10-year
Treasury jumped after the Fed statement came out, knocking the yield to
1.70 percent, the lowest level this
year. It edged back up to 1.72 percent
late in day, compared with 1.82 percent late Tuesday. The yield on the 30year bond, meanwhile, touched a
record low of 2.27 percent.
The Fed has a much more beneficial view on the drop in oil than the
stock market does, said John
Canally, chief economic strategist at
LPL Financial.

average dropped 195.84 points, or

Facebooks status update: Profit

and revenue beat expectations
By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK For the seventh quarter

in a row Facebook beat profit and revenue forecasts, continuing to win more
mobile advertising revenue as most
users shift to using the site on smartphones and other portable devices.
The worlds biggest online social
network said Wednesday that advertising revenue jumped 53 percent to
$3.59 billion for the fourth quarter
with mobile ad revenue representing
69 percent of the total. That percentage has grown steadily in each quarter
of this year. Facebooks massive user

base also continued to climb. It had

1.39 billion monthly active users at
the end of the year, up 13 percent from
a year earlier. Daily users totaled 890
million, up 18 percent.
Mobile
monthly active users jumped 26 percent to 1.19 billion.
The bigger Facebook gets, it
cements its position as one of the
most dominant players in digital
media, and it has the size and reach to
change the rules of digital advertising
and convince others to play by them,
says Debra Aho Williamson, an analyst at research firm eMarketer.
Facebook, which turns 11 years old
this year, began offering mobile ads in

2012, the year its stock began publicly trading. More recently, Facebook
expanded into video ads, which are
very lucrative, and last year it relaunched Atlas, a tool for marketers to
better target people across devices,
platforms and publishers and to measure how well the ads work.
The company is still a long way
from catching up to rival Google Inc.
in the digital advertising market,
though. In 2014, Facebook had a nearly 8 percent share of the market compared with Googles 31 percent according to eMarketer. Thats an increase
for Facebook and a slight decrease for
Google from 2013.

percent, to 2,002.16.
The Nasdaq composite dropped
43. 50 points, or 0. 9 percent, to
4,637.99.
The market had been in a wait-andsee mode in advance of the Fed statement, drifting between small gains
and losses for much of the day.
Falling oil prices dragged the energy
sector lower, while strong earnings
from Apple helped lift tech stocks.
The market initially perked up after
the Fed issued its statement at 2 p.m.
Eastern Time. But the gains were
short-lived, and by late afternoon
three major indexes slumped, extending their losses for the year. The Dow
in now 4.8 percent below its all-time
high of 18,053.71 on Dec. 26. The
S&P 500 index is down 4.2 percent
from its high of 2,090.57 on Dec. 29.
The 10 sectors in the index fell
Wednesday, with energy stocks
falling the most.
Among the biggest decliners were
several oil and gas exploration companies, as well as drilling services
and equipment providers.
Nabors Industries lead declines. It
slid $1. 39, or 11. 7 percent, to
$10.49. Denbury Resources lost 67
cents, or 9.4 percent, to $6.47. Hess

Tiger fight: China and
Alibaba face off over fake goods
BEIJING Theres a tiger fight going on in China.
Regulators on Wednesday issued a scathing report against
one of the countrys biggest stars, accusing e-commerce
giant Alibaba of failing to do enough to prevent fake goods
from being sold on its websites. Uncowed, Alibaba fired back
with charges of bias and misconduct by a named Chinese official. Such public defiance is almost unheard of in China.
Even more dubious is the timing of the sternly worded
report. The State Administration of Industry and Commerce
wrote the report in July after meeting with Alibaba management, but postponed issuing it to avoid affecting the companys New York stock market listing. Alibaba disclosed the
issue of counterfeit goods as a risk factor in its prospectus
but didnt reveal any investigation by regulators before raising $25 billion in its September IPO.
The controversy dragged Alibabas U.S.-traded shares down
about 4 percent to $98.45 on Wednesday. It also threatens to
cause headaches for Yahoo Inc., which holds a 15 percent
stake in the Chinese company.

Sheriffs expand concerns about Waze mobile traffic app

Mobile provider TracFone to

pay $40M in federal settlement

By Eileen Sullivan

WASHINGTON The nations largest prepaid mobile

provider, TracFone Wireless, will pay $40 million to settle
government claims that it misled millions of smartphone
customers with promises of unlimited data service.
The Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday that
TracFones advertising promised unlimited data, but the company then drastically slowed down consumers data speeds
a practice known as throttling when they had used a certain
amount of data within a 30-day period. In some cases, the
FTC said, the company cut off customers data service when
they ran over the limit.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Sheriffs said

Wednesday that Googles popular Waze
traffic app is making it harder to nab
speeders, adding to earlier police complaints that a feature in the software
that lets drivers warn others about nearby police activity is putting officers
lives at risk.

The National Sheriffs Association

had previously focused its campaign
against Waze on police safety after the
fatal shootings of two New York police
officers in December. It broadened its
campaign with a new statement criticizing Googles software as hampering
the use of speed traps. The trade association said radar guns and other speed
enforcement techniques have reduced
highways deaths.

This app will hamper those activities by locating law enforcement officers and puts the public at risk, the
group said.
In the Waze app, which operates like
a free GPS navigation tool, users can
tag the locations of parked police vehicles, accidents, congestion, traffic
cameras, potholes and more, so that
other drivers using Waze are warned as
they approach the same location.

Greater head trauma for NFL players who started early

BOSTON NFL veterans who started

playing tackle football before the age of 12
are more likely to have cognitive difficulties after their careers, according to a study

picked up the sport before they were 12

The release of the study during Super Bowl

place for 49ers
coaching hires

There may be more important games on

the schedule for the Serra basketball team,
but none are bigger than when St. Ignatius
comes to San Mateo for the annual Jungle
Game.
The Jungle Game is a big thing, said
Serra coach Chuck Rapp. Its the epicenter
of the Serra community.
Its definitely a big game. Sixteen, 17year-old kids jacked out of their minds.
Serra, however, turned the game into a
laugher with a 26-9 second quarter as the
Padres cruised to a 62-36 win Wednesday
night.
Making the win even bigger was the fact
that the Padres victory, coupled with St.
Francis loss to Mitty, pulled Serra into a tie
for first place with the Lancers in the West
Catholic Athletic League.
The win was also the 300th of Rapps 15year career with the Padres.
He was in no mood to talk about that,
however. He was more than willing, however, to talk about how his team dismantled a
St. Ignatius team that featured five players
6-4 or taller, including 6-9 center Arash
Poorsina, 6-8 forward Will Emery and 6-6
forward Henry Little.
One of the big strengths of S.I. is their
size, Rapp said.
Serra (6-1 WCAL, 14-3 overall), however,
neutralized the Wildcats length by using
tenacious defense, not allowing easy entry
passes into the post and more often than
not, limiting S.I. (2-5, 8-9) to one and done
offensively.
When the Wildcats could even get into
their offense that is. Serras defense was so
suffocating, the Padres out-rebounded the
Wildcats 32-22 and held Poorsina, Emery
and Little to a combined 12 points. Serra
also managed to force the Wildcats into 14
turnovers and came up with 11 steals as S.I.
managed to take only 36 field goal
attempts.
How dominant was Serra defensively? The
Padres had nearly as many second-quarter

NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL

he search for a 49ers offensive

coordinator appears to be finally
coming to an end. Albert Breen
of the NFL Network reports current quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst will be promoted
to the lead offensive coach position.
If Chryst is the man, at least the search
will be over, but it still goes to show that
CEO Jed York and
general manager Trent
Baalke had absolutely
no plan in place when
they decided they
were done with Jim
Harbaugh. The only
plan they had was to
get rid of Harbaugh.
Everything after that
beginning with
the comical head
coach search that
resulted in the promotion of defensive line
coach Jim Tomsula to the top has been
done on the fly.
How can the owner and GM of a NFL team
have no clue on how to rebuild a coaching
staff when the writing was on the wall early
that they were sick of Harbaughs act? They
literally had 10 months to compile a list of
potential coaches for all positions
and yet here we are: a head coach that left
many scratching their heads and the most
incomplete coaching staff in the game, at
any level. Heck, there are high schools
and, I bet, Pop Warner programs that have
moved faster than the 49ers have.
The 49ers brass continued to insist there
were quality coaches still available. Could
have fooled me. Steve Logan, who most
recently coached the Tampa Bay running
backs in 2011 and has since been a radio
host in North Carolina, is reported the
teams new quarterbacks coach.
At least there would be some familiarity,
as Logan served as Tomsulas OC when he
was head man with NFL Europes Rhein
Fire.

Surprise players often star in Super Bowls

By Rob Maaddi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX Almost all football fans

know Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Richard
Sherman, Marshawn Lynch and Rob
Gronkowski.
The New England Patriots and Seattle
Seahawks wouldnt be playing in the Super
Bowl on Sunday if it werent for their superstars. But both teams got here with lesserknown players coming up big at key times.

Jermaine Kearse caught a touchdown pass

in overtime in Seattles win over Green Bay
in the NFC championship game. Julian
Edelman threw a TD pass in New Englands
division-round win over Baltimore.
Theres Rob Ninkovich, Michael Bennett
and several others. Often, surprise players
are the stars in the Super Bowl.
Just look at last year when Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith was the unlikely
MVP in Seattles win over Denver. Smith
returned a Peyton Manning interception for

a touchdown and recovered a fumble in a 438 rout. Now the former seventh-round pick
hardly plays on defense.
Thats the beauty of our team that anybody can have an MVP-type of day,
Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin said
Wednesday. Thats what makes us special. I
wouldnt be surprised if somebody nobody
talks about is MVP.
Brady, Wilson, Lynch, Gronkowski and
LeGarrette Blount have the five best odds of
winning the MVP award. But Smith is listed

at 100:1 by Bovada.
To get to this point and to win these
games, its not about anything more than
that, Smith said. That is how we can be
successful.
Ninkovich, one of New Englands top
pass rushers, is also at 100:1 odds. He had
eight sacks in each of the past three seasons
and will be a key factor in trying to contain
Wilson.
You cant run past him, Ninkovich said.

Players set to face renovated TPC Scottsdale

By John Nicholson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Tom Weiskopf

borrowed a design element from Oakmont
when he replaced the left fairway bunker on
TPC Scottsdales par-4 18th hole.
Out of respect for the historic
Pennsylvania clubs Church Pews bunker,
the course architect refers to the four long,
thin strips of raised, turfed ground as
islands.
Thats reserved for Oakmont. There is
only one Church Pews, Weiskopf said.
Those are islands in there. Four islands.
Big islands. Some people call them church
pews. They can call them whatever they
want. You dont want to be in there.
At the Phoenix Open this week, players
will face a 300-yard carry over the left-side
water and need to fly it 340 yards to clear the
bunker. The previous bunker ended at 310
yards.

The punishing islands are the key feature.

Oh, my gosh, that went through a
process of about two months, because the
islands were actually a little higher. They
were very nice, Weiskopf said. You know,
I had enough controversy as a player. I didnt want controversy. So, we toned them
down. I wish we wouldnt have, to tell you
the truth.
The 72-year-old Weiskopf, a 16-time winner on the PGA Tour who has designed close
to 70 courses, directed the $9.2 million renovation that was completed in November.
He relished the chance to update the cityowned Stadium Course he teamed with Jay
Morrish to design nearly 30 years ago.
I felt lucky to be approached and asked to
be involved, Weiskopf.
Weiskopfs team moved four greens,
resurfaced all of the putting surfaces,
reshaped and moved bunkers and tee boxes
and replaced the irrigation and drainage systems. The clubhouse also was renovated,

bringing the cost to $15 million.

Weiskopf used ShotLink data from the last
five years to put the fairway bunkers back in
play for even the longest hitters. He cut the
number of bunkers from 73 to 66 and filled
them with white sand that area tour players
tested for two years on the back range.
I thought the most important thing that
we could do for this tournament was to challenge the tee shot more, Weiskopf said.
To reduce frost, the second and third
greens were shifted to create better angles to
the morning sun. The fourth hole was completely rebuilt, with the green moved away
from the hotel, and the 14th green was
shifted to a hilltop.
I always thought the 14th green should
be up on the hill in a location where you
look behind that green and you can see the
famous Superstition range behind it,
Weiskopf said. More importantly, we needed to get away from a very tight situation
with the road.

Mark Calcavecchia set the tournament

record of 28-under 256 in 2001 and Phil
Mickelson tied it two years ago. The course
record is 60, set by Grant Waite in 1996 and
matched by Calcavecchia in 2001 and
Mickelson in 2005 and 2013.
I would hope we never see the 20s,
Weiskopf said.
Mickelson said he has always liked
Weiskopfs work.
He has great strategy from a players
standpoint, Mickelson said.
The greens are better than he expected.
The first year you always have to cut
some slack because the greens are firm and
unreceptive because the roots havent had a
chance to grow in, Mickelson said.
Surprisingly, the greens are putting very
true and in wonderful shape.
Keegan Bradley also praised the work.
They did an unbelievable job, Bradley
said. A lot harder, but still very fair. I think
this is a great test.

U.S soccer fades in 3-2 loss at Chile

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mark Gonzalez scored in the 66th and 75

minutes, rallying Chile to a 3-2 exhibition
win over the United States on Wednesday
night that sent the Americans to their first
five-game winless streak since 2007.
The 27th-ranked Americans led 2-1 at halftime on goals by Brek Shea in the sixth
minute and Jozy Altidore in the 31st around
Roberto Gutierrezs 10th-minute equalizer in
the game played in Rancagua, Chile.
U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann unveiled a 35-2 formation in his teams 2015 opener, but
the Americans once again were tripped up by
their habit of fading in the second half. With
the defeat to No. 14 Chile, they have lost

three straight games for the first time since

late 2009 and early 2010, and they have one
victory in nine matches (1-5-3) since beating Ghana in their World Cup opener last
June.
Both teams were missing nearly all
Europe-based players because the match was
not on a FIFA fixture date. Most Americans
have not played since mid-November.
D.C. United defender Steve Birnbaum made
his U.S. national team debut, starting at
right back. Two other players entered in the
second half for their first international
appearances: Columbus defender Wil Trapp
in the 60th and Los Angeles Galaxy forward
Gyasi Zardes in the 68th.
Jermaine Jones played center back in front

of goalkeeper Nick Rimando and Matt Besler

on the left. Mix Diskerud and Michael
Bradley were in defensive midfield, and Clint
Dempsey in the center of attacking midfield,
with DeAndre Yedlin on the right and Shea on
the left. Altidore and Bobby Wood started at
forward.
Shea and Altidore returned to Major League
Soccer this month following struggles in
England. Shea signed with expansion
Orlando after appearing in just three league
and two League Cup games for Stoke over the
previous two years. Altidore joined Toronto
following an awful 1 1/2 years at Sunderland,
where he scored one goal in 40 league
appearances with the Black Cats.
Shea scored his third international goal

and first since the 2013 CONCACAF Gold

Cup. Besler played in a longball and Shea ran
on to it, letting it bounce three times before
beating goalkeeper Johnny Herrera with a
left-footed angled shot from about 11 yards.
Gutierrez tied the score when he split
Jones and Besler to beat Rimando with a
glancing header from 7 yards off Gonzalezs
cross.
Altidore put the U.S. back ahead with his
26th international goal. Yedlin, who joined
the team in South America following his first
few weeks of training with Tottenham, made
a short throw in to Mix Diskerud. He
exchanged passes with Yedlin, and Diskerud
crossed for Altidore, who scored with his
right foot from 10 yards.

Even with sore back, skier Bode Miller named to U.S. team
By Pat Graham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Alpine director of the U.S. Ski Team has

a healthy and extremely confident
Lindsey Vonn for the world championships
next week in Beaver Creek, Colorado. One of
the best slalom skiers in teenager Mikaela
Shiffrin, too.
And dont forget Ted Ligety, who won three
titles at the 2013 world championships in
Austria.
Still, Patrick Riml is holding out hope that
his unbelievably strong team includes one
more familiar name Bode Miller.
It all depends on how much Millers surgically repaired back improves by next
Wednesday for the super-G or Feb. 7 for the
downhill.
However, Riml is prepared to give the six-

time Olympic medalist until the last possible

moment to see if the back can hold up to the
rigors of racing.
Well see how it shakes out, how Bodes
feeling day by day. Then, well make a call,
said Riml, who announced his roster
Wednesday and included Miller on the squad.
Were very fortunate to have Bode being able
to ski, with his track record over the last
decade-plus. Its very awesome for us to have
him on the team.
Miller has yet to compete in a World Cup
race this season after having a herniated disk
repaired in November. And while his race status for Beaver Creek remains uncertain, hes
showing signs of improvement.
The 37-year-old Miller recently turned in
solid training runs in Wengen, Switzerland,
and Kitzbuehel, Austria, before electing to
skip the races.
He may be known for taking plenty of risks

in a competition, but hes playing it safe with

his back. This is the event hes been eyeing
all along as Miller made his eighth team for
the world championships, which are held
every two years.
(The training runs) show he has to get
more mileage under his belt, to get back in
form and closer to the top, Riml said. Every
day is an important day for Bode to get back
on snow and get the feeling back.
Thats hardly the case for Vonn, whos
already in top form as she enters the world
championships in her hometown with a head
of steam. She recently surpassed the 35-yearold record held by Austrian great Annemarie
Moser-Proell for most World Cup wins.
I always believed Id be back on top eventually, said Vonn, who now has 64 World Cup
victories after taking a super-G race in St.
Moritz, Switzerland, last Sunday. I didnt
know how long it would take.

This is as healthy as Vonn has been heading

into a major event in quite some time. The 30year-old blew out her right knee in a super-G
race at the 2013 world championships in
Schladming, Austria. She then hurt her knee
again, keeping her out of the Sochi
Olympics.
In Sochi, Shiffrin became one of the stars
for the U.S., winning the Olympic slalom
crown. She also won the event at the 2013
world championships.
I know I can perform under pressure, said
Shiffrin, whos from nearby Eagle-Vail,
Colorado. The more pressure I have, the
more liberated I feel.
Ligety has a tall order in front of him to
duplicate what he did two years ago at worlds,
when he won the super-G, giant slalom and
combined.

field goals made (10) as S. I.
attempted in the first and second
quarters combined (14).
We put a lot of defensive pressure on them. That was key, Rapp
said. A lot of offense was created
from defensive pressure.
S.I. didnt crack the 10-point
mark until there was less than a
minute to play in the first half.
Offensively, the Padres had 11 of
15 players on the roster get in the
scoring column, led by 6-4 forward
Trevor Browns game-high 15
points. Brown also pulled down
five rebounds.
Frank Lemos added 11 in the
win, while Jeremiah Testa chipped
in with eight.
Jake Killingsworth, who was
surprisingly held scoreless, led
the Padres with nine rebounds.
Jack Wilson, a 6-10 freshman forward, added five rebounds.
This is one of the deepest teams
Ive had, Rapp said. The more
the merrier.
With all the hype surrounding
the game, it was no surprise both
teams came out a little tight to
start the game. Brown scored the
games first points on a pair of
field goals with 5:04 to play in the
opening quarter and by the time
the first period ended, the Padres
held a pedestrian 8-3 lead.
In the second quarter, Serra put
the pedal to the metal and all but

ended the game as the Padres outscored the Wildcats 26-9. The
Wildcats managed to hit just two
field goals in the quarter. They had
a chance to stay in the game as
they attempted 15 free throws in
the first half, but managed to connect on just six of them.
Jimmy Wohrer got the Padres
rolling in the second quarter when
he took a pass as he cut down the
lane and converted a layup to put
Serra up 10-3. Lee Jones went
coast-to-coast for another layup,
then connected on a jump-stop
jumper to put the Padres up 14-5.
Brown used a variety of moves on
the block to score another layup to
put Serra up 16-5 and the rout was
on. Testa came up with a steal and
layup to put the Padres ahead 18-6,
Lemos and Testa had back to back
layups to put Serra up 22-7 with
3:01 to play in the first half.
Marcus Alvarez and Lemos then
connected from downtown with 3pointers and Serra led 30-9 with
1:22 to play in the half. Lemos hit
a pair of free throw and Stephon
Nettles rounded out the scoring for
Serra in the second quarter as the
Padres led 34-12 at halftime.
St. Ignatius started hot in the
third quarter, with Justin Wong
burying back to back 3-pointers to
cut the Wildcats deficit to 36-18,
but Serra responded with a 10-0 run
to take a 46-18 lead. The rest of the
game was essentially spent just
running out the clock.
I thought we played well,
Rapp said.

Sports brief
Real Madrids Ronaldo suspended
two games for kicking player
MADRID Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended from Real Madrids next two matches
after his violent outburst in last weekends
league game that included kicking an opponent.
The federations disciplinary committee on
Wednesday banned Ronaldo from home games
against Real Sociedad on Saturday and Sevilla
on Feb. 4.

for us we treat every game exactly the same

Heres a list of some surprise stars from
past Super Bowls:

Dexter Jackson

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Jackson had two interceptions to help the

Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Oakland
Raiders 48-21 in the 2003 Super Bowl.
Teammate Dwight Smith returned two picks
for touchdowns against Rich Gannon and
Oaklands top-ranked offense, but Jackson
got the MVP award. Jackson signed a $14
million, five-year deal with Arizona in free
agency, but was released after one season
and returned to the Buccaneers.

Larry Brown
Brown became the first cornerback to win
Super Bowl MVP when his two interceptions helped the Dallas Cowboys beat the
Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17 in 1996. Brown
leveraged that performance into a $12 million, five-year contract with the Raiders in
free agency, but lasted only two seasons in
Oakland and started just one game.

David Tyree
Tyree only had 54 career catches, but hell
forever be remembered for the helmet grab
that helped the New York Giants beat the

With the talent on the roster, I still believe

the 49ers have enough to compete for a playoff spot, in spite of the coaching staff. But as
that talent ages and begins moving on,
coaching will become that much more important. The way things look right now, it

appears it could be a long time before San

Francisco is again a Super Bowl contender.
***
Obviously, as sports editor for the Daily
Journal, I am constantly asked at this time of
year: who is going to win the Super Bowl?
(Wait. Can I write Super Bowl, or do I have
to refer to it as the NFL championship game
so as not to get in trouble with the NFL?)
My stock answer is, assuming the 49ers
arent playing, I just hope its a competitive
game.
But if youre going to pin me down, Id
have to say New England.
Truthfully, I really cant stand either team.
Usually, I root for whoever is playing New
England, but my contempt for Seattle is
much greater.
I used to be a Seahawks fan. Most of the
relatives on my mothers side live in the

arate from the problem of chronic traumatic

encephalopathy, which can only be diagnosed after death.
Stern said the research does not lead to
any simple solutions.
Among the limitations of the study,
which he conducted with researcher Julie
Stamm, were that it only looked at former
NFL players; the conclusions cannot be
generalized to a broader population. Youth
sports also have many health benefits that
need to be considered by policymakers,
sports organizations and parents, Stern
said.
It also looked back at people who played
a long time ago; conditions could have got-

ten better as concussion education

improved or worse, because athletes are
getting bigger and faster. There is a need
for so many follow-up studies, Stern said.
The issue for me is one of science being
balanced with logic, he said. It does not
make sense to me, as someone who studies
the brain and as someone who has four kids,
to foster repetitive hits to the kids brains at
a young age. Does that really make logical
sense? Do we want to do that to our children
at that age whose brains are rapidly developing?
Stern, whose research into CTE has
helped lead to a greater understanding of the
dangers of concussions, said he isnt ready

Im not buying that. If it was true, why is

management down to options 12, 13 and 14?
I believe many coaches are turned off by the
way Baalke and York ran Harbaugh out of
town for really no good reason. If the 49ers
brass was willing to jettison a coach who
performed a miraculous turnaround and led the
team to three straight NFC title games and a
Super Bowl appearance, how will they be
treated? There is also that little fact that
many see Tomsula as nothing more than a
puppet for the Baalke/York regime. Who in
their right mind would want to work in that
kind of environment?

Patriots 17-14 in the 2008 Super Bowl,

snapping New Englands perfect season.
Giants quarterback Eli Manning was the
MVP of the game.

Timmy Smith
After running for only 126 yards as a
rookie in 1987, Smith set a Super Bowl
rushing record with 204 yards and scored
two TDs to help the Washington Redskins
beat Denver 42-10. Quarterback Doug
Williams was the MVP of the game. Smith
played only two more seasons in the NFL
and ran for another 476 yards total.

Rod Martin
Martin had more interceptions (three)
against Ron Jaworski in Oaklands 27-10
win over Philadelphia in the 1981 Super
Bowl than he had in his first four seasons in
the NFL. Martin eventually went to two Pro
Bowls and was a productive player for eight
more seasons. Quarterback Jim Plunkett was
MVP of the win over the Eagles.
Seattle area and of course they are all die-hard
Seahawks fans. My cousin even has season
tickets, I believe. Heck, growing up, I had a
Steve Largent jersey literally the only jersey from a professional sports team Ive ever
owned.
It was much easier to root for Seattle when
the Seahawks played in the AFC West. But
when they were moved into the NFC West
before the 2002 season the 49ers division I simply could not root for them any
more, even when they were the dregs of the
division.
Now that they are on top of the heap, I
detest them even more.

to write off the sport. Although he said he

can no longer watch youth football, he is
still a New England Patriots fan who is
planning to attend the Super Bowl on
Sunday.
Im not sure how to deal with this incongruity between what I know and what I like
to watch, he said. Im not saying we need
to get rid of football. For me to be going to
the Super Bowl this year, with the Patriots
playing, Im giddy with excitement. And
that, along with watching the game on
Sundays, makes for a huge amount of selfquestioning.

Hezbollah millitants
fire missiles and kill
two Israeli soldiers
By Ariel Schalit
and Zeina Karam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHEAR YASHUV, Israel The

Lebanese militant Hezbollah group
fired a salvo of missiles at an
Israeli military convoy in a disputed border area Wednesday, killing
two soldiers and triggering deadly
clashes that marked the most serious escalation since the sides
2006 war.
The flare-up, which also left a
U.N. peacekeeper dead, added to the
regional chaos brought on by
neighboring Syrias civil war.
Hezbollah indicated the attack was
in retaliation for a deadly Israeli
strike on its fighters inside Syria
earlier this month.
The violence sparked fears in
both countries of yet another crippling war between the two foes.
Israels Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu warned Israel would

respond forcefully, and the military fired artillery shell barrages

that struck border villages in
southern Lebanon. Hezbollah
responded with rocket fire on
Israeli military positions.
The Israeli military said five
anti-tank missiles hit the soldiers
as they were traveling near Mount
Dov and Chebaa Farms, along a
disputed tract of land where the borders of Israel, Lebanon and Syria
meet.
The soldiers were in two unarmored white vehicles without military insignia when they were struck
from a distance of about three miles
(five kilometers) away, according
to Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli
military spokesman.
Israeli media aired footage showing the charred, smoldering vehicles after the strike, which also
wounded seven Israeli soldiers.

Two Israeli soldiers and a Spanish peacekeeper were killed on Wednesday in an exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Israel that has raised the threat of a full-blown conflict between the militant Islamist group and Israel.
this escalation of violence, and it
came from the Israeli side,
Spanish Ambassador Roman
Oyarzun Marchesi told reporters at
U.N. headquarters.
He did not elaborate. However,
Lebanese security officials said earlier that the peacekeeper was killed
by Israeli shelling that struck near
a U.N. base inside Lebanon. They
spoke on condition of anonymity

in line with regulations.

The Security Council, meeting in
an emergency session, condemned
the peacekeepers death in the
strongest terms and offered its
deepest sympathies. In a statement, Israels Foreign Minister
Avigdor Lieberman said that he
conveyed Israels condolences for
the death in a conversation with
his Spanish counterpart.

A relative of Islamic State captive Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasaesbeh hold

up his picture as they shout slogans demanding the Jordanian government
negotiate with Islamic State for his release, in front of the Royal Palace in
Amman, Jordan.

AMMAN, Jordan Jordan

offered a precedent-setting prisoner swap to the Islamic State
group Wednesday in a desperate
attempt to save a Jordanian air
force pilot the militants purportedly threatened to kill, along with
a Japanese hostage.
Late Wednesday, the pilots
father met with Jordans king who
he said assured him that everything will be fine.
King Abdullah II faces growing
domestic pressure to bring the
pilot home. However, meeting
the Islamic States demand for the
release of a would-be hotel
bomber linked to al-Qaida would
run counter to the kingdoms hard-

line approach to the extremists.

Efforts to release the pilot, Lt.
Muath
al-Kaseasbeh,
and
Japanese journalist Kenji Goto
gained urgency with the release
late Tuesday of a purported online
ultimatum claiming the Islamic
State group would kill both
hostages within 24 hours if the
al-Qaida-linked prisoner was not
freed.
By Wednesday evening, there
was no word on the fate of the
hostages and no sign a swap was
underway. In a possible indication of a holdup, Jordans foreign
minister wrote on his Twitter
account that Jordan had not
received evidence the pilot was
alive and healthy.
The scope of a possible swap
and of the Islamic State groups
demands also remained unclear.

Shores owned by the Oracle Corporation.
The district could not comment on the
exact location of property owned by the
county Office of Education, citing ongoing
negotiations with each agency.
Trustee Linda Lees Dwyer said she may
support some of these possible locations,
but would need to know how much the project might cost the district, such as in the
case of leasing property.
Trustee Robert Griffin echoed those sentiments, and said the district should apply
continuous pressure to the county and
Office of Education to ensure the agencies
respond in a timely fashion to requests
regarding the rental rates for potentially
leasing property.
The charter school offers students an
opportunity to get an education focused on
innovation and technology. It opened last
year on the Mills campus, to concerns
from school community members regarding the impact co-location may have on
the existing school. The school is growing by a class size each year, and anticipates being at full capacity next year.
Though the board postponed making a
decision Tuesday night, district leadership
agreed it is imperative to track down the
necessary information in a timely fashion,

possibility for lifetime heath benefits,
said City Manager Greg Scoles.
To have more control over their own
benefits, it was necessary to delink councilmembers benefits from the labor group
representing middle-management staff,
Scoles said.
[They] eliminated the connection
between their benefits and what could be
negotiated with labor units, Scoles said.
As benefits became more and more
expensive being tied to the labor units, it
drove the councils benefits up in an inordinate way.
Scoles
and Councilman
Warren
Lieberman said the new rule is a follow-up
to action the council took several years
ago to reduce the amount of benefits councilmembers could receive.
There are now three tiers determined by
when a councilmember is appointed or
elected that impacts ones ability to collect lifetime health benefits.
The council really took significant

to not delay the relocation process.

Im not keen on extending the timeline.
The public is waiting for this answer, Lees
Dwyer said. But I want to see real numbers, and that is the only reason to support
pushing this out.
Millbrae residents requested that district
leadership give them assurance that the
charter school would not return to the
Mills campus next year, in lieu of making
a permanent decision regarding the relocation.
And though the board did not adopt a formal resolution to take Mills off the list of
possible locations for d.tech next year,
there was general agreement among members that they would prioritize looking
elsewhere to find a new home for the charter school.
We are going to push these other
options really hard, said board President
Marc Friedman.

ty of some to get counseling from their

teachers because d. tech occupied classroom space that would have previously
been reserved for Mills personnel.
Denise Dreyer, a teacher at Mills and parent of a student at the school, said she
appreciated the boards desire to find the
best available option for the charter
school, but also reminded them to keep the
interests of the Mills community in mind.
It is a nice program. It services a muchneeded area for our students, Dreyer said of
d.tech. But we have several other student
groups who also have very strong needs.

Space to grow

That message was well received by members of the Mills community, who advocated for the high school to regain control of
its entire campus.
Abraham Chung, president of the
Associated Student Body at Mills High
School, expressed his appreciation for the
boards willingness to consider moving
d.tech off of the high schools campus.
Let d.tech have its own space, he said.
Chung told the board concerns that his
fellow students shared, such as the inabili-

Elizabeth McManus, deputy superintendent of business services, said the district

should focus on finding a location that can
absorb the current d.tech enrollment, and
allow it space to grow as the program continues to develop.
We want to make sure that where ever we
select will be able to accommodate d.tech
going forward, she said.
A district report said that d.tech administration also agreed that Mills is not an
appropriate venue for the charter school,
citing concerns about limited space for
growth, as well as the inflexibility of the
classrooms to accommodate the charters
curriculum.
Co-location at Mills High School for
the 2015-16 school year and subsequent
years is extremely challenging, said the
report. The loss of Mills High School

action to reduce the level of benefits that

it receives and this is something that Ive
wanted to do for a while, Lieberman said.
This will make it a lot more transparent.
It makes the council more accountable
for what benefits it chooses.
All current and future councilmembers
are entitled to a $390 per month stipend
and vision, dental and health insurance
while serving the city. Councilmembers
who opt out of health insurance can have
in-lieu funds contributed to a deferred
compensation plan accessible once they
reach retirement age.
Councilmembers elected or appointed
before Oct. 1, 2012, and who serve 12
consecutive years, are eligible for lifetime health benefits to date, no one has
done so.
Mayor David Braunstein and Lieberman
are the only ones who could be eligible
should they continue to serve. Both indicated should they serve 12 straight years,
they do not plan on taking advantage of
the option.
Were trying to do the right thing.
Were trying to be responsible and we
knew that this was an issue that was out
there that Councilmember Lieberman had
mentioned a couple years ago and we saw

it was an opportunity to correct something that we thought wasnt right,

Braunstein said.
Until a few years ago, councilmembers
could receive up to $1, 600 a month in lieu
of health insurance, but that amount was
reduced to around $700. Councilmembers
could have been receiving thousands of
dollars per year and that liability would
have increased significantly had someone
opted for the lifetime health benefits,
Lieberman said.
Councilmembers who enter office after
Dec. 31, 2012, and serve at least 10 continuous years may receive a monthly contribution into a retirement health savings
plan in place of lifetime health benefits.
The citys contribution would range
between $200 and $250 per month based
on the councilmembers years of service,
according to the resolution.
Due to the new resolution, any future
councilmember would not qualify for any
type of lifetime health benefits.

thought it out of proportion for them to
receive benefits comparable to full-time

McManus said that the district should

d.tech could be moved to the San Mateo

facilities fall through.
She acknowledged that moving to the
Adult School, located at what is known as

Students of the school, which serves

what the possibilities are at the adult

an email he had no preference regarding
where the charter school would end up.

Indoor herbs can thrive on winter windowsills

By Katherine Roth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

During this season of short, dark

days, indoor herb gardens offer welcome greenery and fragrance, as well
as adding zest to cold-weather stews
and soups.
In the winter, even indoor plants
wont be doing much, but an already
established herb plant can thrive quite
happily in a sunny window, said
Sonia Uyterhoeven, who teaches herb
gardening at the New York Botanical
Garden.
Easy herbs to grow inside are basil,
chives, parsley, oregano, sage,
thyme, mint, cilantro and bay, she
said. If you bring lemon verbena
inside for the winter, it will drop its
leaves. But just cut it back hard and in
a month it will look good again. Its
fragrant and really lovely. Rosemary
can do OK, but needs time to adjust to
lower indoor light and should be given
two weeks to transition first.
For rooms with limited light, parsley, chives and mint are quite forgiving, she said. Basil, oregano, rosemary and sage, all Mediterranean
plants, generally do better with much
more sun. Most herbs are happiest
with 6 to 8 hours of sunlight a day.

The biggest mistake people make

is underestimating how much light
herb plants need, explained Leda
Meredith, who teaches about herbs and
herb gardening at the Brooklyn
Botanic Garden. Your basil plant is
not going to love you for just two
hours of sunlight in the morning. You
have to remember that to a plant, light
is food.
If light is a challenge, fluorescent
light is full-spectrum, works well on
plants and is much cheaper than plant
lights, she said.
Ginger root is another wonderful,
easy and often-overlooked option for
indoor gardens, said Meredith.
Ginger is a great idea, and the long
glossy plant leaves are very attractive.
Florists use it a lot in arrangements.
Just get a ginger root from the grocery
store, chop it into 1-inch chunks, and
plant those in a pretty good-size pot
with just an inch of potting mix on
top, leaving several inches between
each piece of ginger. Thats it, she
said.
Start watering them and, after a couple months, youll realize that the
whole top of the pot is ginger root.
They form horizontally, not vertically, and you can harvest what you
want, she said.

Ginger plants do well with anything

from full sun to bright indirect light
most of the day, but are pretty tolerant,
she said.
General rules to help kitchen gardens thrive in winter include making
sure pots are sufficiently large; herbs
almost always need to be repotted in
containers two to three times the size
they came in.
The more space they have to grow,
the better theyll do, Uyterhoeven
said.
Around 70 degrees is ideal for most
herb plants, and placing a bowl of
water beside them will give them a little extra humidity, Uyterhoeven said.
She and Meredith warned against
overwatering and over-fertilizing
indoor herb plants, which should generally not be watered until the soil just
below the surface is dry. They tend to
lose their scent and taste if given too
much fertilizer.
Plants should be rotated periodically
to ensure all sides are exposed to sunlight, and they do best when planted in
a combination of potting soil mix and
compost.
They also love a good haircut,
according to Uyterhoeven, and can be
cut back by a third to a half periodically.

In the winter, even indoor plants wont be doing much, but an

already established herb plant can thrive quite happily in a
sunny window.

DATEBOOK

BEACH
Continued from page 1
was approached by a man who pointed
his right hand at Mr. Deeney, as if
holding a gun, and yelled Im going
to come back and shoot your ass!
before speeding off, according to the
motion.
Deeney also alleges vandals broke
chains and damaged the widely contested gate thats been at the heart of
the litigation.
Surfrider representatives condemned the alleged threats but maintained its unfair for the property
owner to cite the poor behavior of a
few individuals as reason to disregard
the law and punish the public.
Thats certainly not conduct
Surfrider promotes or condones, said
Eric Buescher, an attorney representing Surfrider with the firm Cotchett,
Pitre & McCarthy. If what theyre
saying is true, thats certainly inappropriate behavior. But I dont think
that has much to do with whether the
defendants are required to comply with
the law. This is not a situation where
they can say we dont have to comply
with the law because somebody else is
acting like an idiot.
San Mateo County Superior Court
Judge Barbara Mallach ordered the
property owner to cease preventing
the public from accessing and using
the water, beach and coast at Martins
Beach until he secure a coastal development permit when she ruled in
Surfriders favor last year.
The defendant argues theyve followed the courts orders by allowing
visitors to drive down and park for
$10 when someone is available to
collect the fee.
Deeney has attempted to forbid visitors from walking to the beach from
Highway 1 and short of driving by,
there appears to be no schedule for the
public to confirm when Martins
Beach might be open.
According to the motion, individuals have ignored Deeneys requests,
walked to the beach, engaged in
unsafe behavior, spent the night,
brought alcohol and the Sheriffs
Office is refusing to prosecute trespassers.

COFFEE

for his San Francisco grocery store
customers and started the company in
2003. Today, his son Jacob Jaber leads
the company. He was just 8 years old
when his father started to perfect various blends, Montoya said.
They established a cult following,

THE DAILY JOURNAL

No citations
Yet even if Khoslas motion is
granted and Mallachs ruling is put on
hold, its unclear whether that would
be of any assurance to the district
attorney and sheriff.
The Sheriffs Office and District
Attorneys Office stated they will not
be issuing or prosecuting trespassing
citations while Martins Beach
remains the subject of litigation or
until there is clear direction from the
court.
However, the Sheriffs Office said in
a statement of its philosophy that it
will use its discretion to investigate
or make arrests related to crimes that
occur at the contested beach.
Surfrider contends the property
owner should apply for a coastal permit to iron out the terms and conditions of access, that could then be
upheld by the Sheriffs Office, before
complaining about law enforcements
refusal to cite while litigation drags
on.

Prohibitive versus
mandatory judgment
The defendants motion for a stay of
judgment simultaneously revealed
their plans to appeal the case should
their Dec. 16 request for a new trial be
denied. While the law typically provides an automatic suspension of a
mandatory judgment during an appeal,
enforcement of a prohibitive judgment customarily remains through the
appeals process.
Surfrider argues Mallachs ruling is
prohibitive as it requires Khosla to
stop excluding the public, which constitutes illegal development under the
coastal act.
Martins Beach attorneys argue the
owner had to take affirmative action
by reopening the beach and infers
that Mallachs ruling should be put on
hold during an appeal.
Buescher said the appeals process
could take years and the defendants
claim that the public wouldnt be burdened by the closure of the beach is a
glaring example of the property
owners disconnect with the community.
It represents their attitude on this
entire issue. That this is ours and if
Montoya said.
Wednesday, a passerby urged the
company to open up in Burlingame as
Muratore poured him a cup of coffee.
Philz provides every customer with
one-on-one time with their barista,
Muratore said.
New baristas are also required to train
extensively to provide the Philz experience.
Starting pay is $12 an hour and the
company provides medical, dental and

we close it, too bad. The idea that

that doesnt harm anybody, I think, is
just misguided and misreads the purpose of the Coastal Act and the publics interest in the property,
Buescher said.

New trial?
Both parties are awaiting Mallachs
decision on whether to grant a new
trial. According to the defendants
motion, the judge has until Feb. 3 to
reply or she is considered to have
denied their request for a new trial and
they have until March 5 to file an
appeal.
Attorneys for Martins Beach did
not return requests for comment.
The defendants motion and
Deeneys declaration claiming he
fears for his safety include threats
apparently made through social media
such as Smith and [W]esson makes
an excellent cleansing agent and we
should separate him from his billion
dollar jewels.
Mike Wallace, a Half Moon Bay
high school surf coach and Surfrider
spokesman who testified at the trial,
said the few oddballs posting inappropriate content on Facebook
shouldnt be used as a rationale to terminate law-abiding citizens access to
the beach.
Wallace said the property hasnt
remained consistently open since
Mallachs ruling nearly two months
ago, but Martins Beach lovers should
comply with the law and not detract
from Surfriders mission.
I would encourage people to be
completely lawful. Ive picked up
trash at the gate Im not happy to
see that. I personally wish that everyone is respectful of the residents,
respectful of Khosla in that regard.
Threats are totally inappropriate and
any vandalism just undermines what
were trying to achieve, Wallace
said. I think people have to be certainly aware that its not a crime to go
to the beach, but it is a crime to
threaten somebody and it is a crime to
vandalize. Neither of which we at
Surfrider condone at all.
