Carlos Villegas tried some college
after graduating high school but it
did not work out for the young man
from East Palo Alto.
A cousin of his, however, told
him he would be a great t for an
internship program in San Francisco
that trains urban young adults with
the skills needed to work at many of
the Bay Areas top companies.
Villegas applied for and was
accepted into a year-long program
with Year Up
Bay Area, a
nonprofit, and
was taught for
ve months an
exhaustive set of
computer and
i nf or ma t i on-
t e c h n o l o g y
skills.
The second
part of the program placed him into
an internship with Electronic Arts in
Redwood Shores where he learned
new skills in a real work environ-
ment.
Villegas worked in the IT depart-
ment at EA, doing trouble-shooting
in a hands-on environment that sent
him down his current career path.
While taking drives on Highway
101, however, Villegas could see
from his car some of the nations
top high-technology companies
headquartered here in the Bay Area
from EA, Oracle, Cisco,
Facebook and Google and won-
dered if he may one day work at one
of these prestigious companies.
Two months ago, Villegas landed
a job at Mountain View-based
Google and hopes to be with the
company a long time, he told the
Daily Journal.
Villegas, who just turned 23, now
offers tech support for buyers of the
Chromebook laptop computer all
over the world.
Even though he has only been
working at Google for about eight
weeks, he already feels like a part of
the company as the learning is fast
paced.
It is a cooperative environment
and the training is as you go,
Villegas said. It is a professional
environment but the company
allows for unique personalities to
shine through.

County agency
seeks to make its
services more
user-friendly
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The noticeable change starts at the
door of the Human Services Agency
lobby in Redwood City.
A touch screen kiosk asks what
the user needs. Applying for food
stamps or Medi-Cal? The kiosk spits
out a numbered ticket and a greeter
gives the person the necessary forms
to ll out before they are even called
to a window. Need to drop off docu-
ments? The person is directed to a
condential box around the corner,
right next to the new copy machine.
Looking for Social Security? The
kiosk informs the user is in the
wrong location but prints out the
ofces contact information.
In the quest to make residents
who use county services more self-
sufcient in terms of food, jobs and
shelter, HSA is making it easier for
clients to be more self-sufcient in
connecting with those services.

It was during their third visit to

Menlo Park got a surprise.
The nurse commented on the
well-being of baby A and baby B,
explained 32-year-old K.C. Carlson.
Thirty-one-year-old Allison
Carlson, who was carrying the two
little bundles of joy, was also excit-
ed. They had expected to welcome a
baby in mid-January. Up until their
17th week checkup, it seemed like
thats what would happen. Having
twins was a fun but scary change in
plans.
Fifteen minutes later, the couple
learned there may be a problem.
Normally, there is a thin membrane
that forms to separate the twins.
Less than 1 percent of U.S. twin
pregnancies are monoamniotic, in
which both babies share the same
amniotic sac in utero. Sharing space
can create complications often due
to the umbilical cords becoming
entangled. Thats what happened to

Owner of Rivera plane
denies drug connections
PHOENIX The man who runs the
business that owns a luxury jet that
crashed and killed Latin music star Jenni
Rivera says he has never been involved
in drug trafcking and that the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration has dogged
him for more than two decades without
ever proving a single narcotics connec-
tion.
DEA spokeswoman Lisa Webb
Johnson has said two planes owned by
Las Vegas-based Starwood Management
were seized by the agency in Texas and
Arizona this year, but she declined to dis-
cuss details of their ongoing investiga-
tion. The agency also has subpoenaed all
the companys records, including any
correspondence it has had with a former
Tijuana mayor long suspected by U.S.
law enforcement as having ties to organ-
ized crime.
Christian Esquino, 50, who runs the
business and has a long and checkered
legal past, told The Associated Press on
Friday that the DEA has been investigat-
ing him since the 1980s around the time
he sold a plane in Florida to a major traf-
cker who later used it as part of a mas-
sive smuggling operation.
The federal government has also
claimed Esquino is involved with
Tijuanas notorious Arellano Felix cartel,
he said, a charge he vehemently denies.
The DEA has been investigating me
my whole life,
Equino told the AP in
a telephone interview
from Mexico City.
They can investigate
me all they want and
they can investigate
Starwood all they
want, but theyre not
going to find any-
thing.
I would have to be the smartest drug
trafcker in the world to be able to stay
away from a drug conviction with the
DEA looking at me under a microscope
for 20 years, he added.
The 43-year-old California-born
Rivera died when the plane she was trav-
eling in nose-dived into the ground last
week. Rivera was an internationally
known star who sold more than 15 mil-
lion records in her career.
Esquino said the singer was consider-
ing buying the aircraft from Starwood for
$250,000 and the ight was offered as a
test ride. The 78-year-old pilot and ve
other people were also killed. Esquino
said the pilot was an experienced airman
with more than 24,000 hours ight time,
and that Rivera had been considering
buying a plane from Starwood for some
time.
She was a very nice lady and Im very
sad that this happened, he said. Its a
terrible accident.
He did not have any information on the
cause of the crash.
Were a legal business that has now
had a terrible tragedy and were basical-
ly licking our wounds right now, he
said.
Esquinos legal woes date back to the
late 1980s, and he says its all part of an
aimless witch hunt by the U.S. He said
the government wrongly assumes he
must be involved in drugs just because he
is a successful Mexican businessman in
the high-end aviation industry.
He was indicted in the early 1990s
along with 12 other defendants in a
major federal drug investigation that
claimed the suspects planned to sell
more than 480 kilograms of cocaine. He
eventually pleaded guilty to conspiring
to conceal money from the IRS and was
sentenced to ve years in prison, with all
but about six months suspended.
Cynthia Hawkins, a former assistant
U.S. attorney who handled the case, said
it began with the arrest of Robert
Castoro, who was at the time considered
one of the most prolic smugglers of
marijuana and cocaine into Florida from
direct ties to Colombian drug cartels.
Castoro was convicted in 1988 and sen-
tenced to life in prison, but he began
cooperating with authorities and had his
sentence reduced to 10 years, Hawkins
said.
Esquino said he only pleaded to the
money charge to avoid a much lengthier
sentence in the narcotics case. He said he
came under scrutiny because he sold a
plane to Castoro for about $220,000 that
he later learned was used to smuggle
drugs.

T
he rst attempt to nance a line from
San Francisco to San Jose failed due
to a nancial depression in 1855.
Another attempt was made a few years later,
however, and after an initial bond-raising suc-
cess by a new company named the San
Francisco and San Jose Railroad, a contract
was signed Oct. 24, 1860, for the actual begin-
ning of the railroad.
The tracks to San Francisco were laid
through the well-populated sandy hill area of
Colma rather than the more direct and shorter
route to the east of San Bruno Mountain. The
Colma route was a longer one to downtown
San Francisco, but the terrain was easier on
which to lay tracks. The east side was rugged,
hilly and steep-cliffed, and the technology to
overcome the engineering obstacles was not
yet available. Although construction was start-
ed early in the 1900s, this eastern route would
not be conquered until after the earthquake in
1906.
In the late 1860s, a lot was happening in the
young railroad industry. A transcontinental
rail-line was being planned by numerous indi-
viduals men who become known as the
Big Four Leland Stanford, Charles
Crocker, Mark Hopkins and Collis
Huntington. They beat the competition,
formed the Central Pacic Railroad and began
the construction of it in the 1860s. It was near-
ing completion by the end of the 1860s and
these men, wealthy and full of self-condence
and power, were planning on controlling all of
the western railroads they could, regardless of
what they had to do to own them. Plans were
already circulating about another southern
transcontinental railroad from Southern
California to the middle of the continent. A
power struggle resulted from this idea.
The San Francisco and San Jose Railroad
acquired the Market Street Railroad (which
ran trolleys down Market Street to the Mission
District) and in the 1860s that combination
was acquired by members of the Central
Pacic Railroad. This combination of rail and
trolley franchises locked up the most lucrative
rail business from San Francisco to San Jose.
Many other small railroads were acquired by
the Big Four by devious methods and slow-
ly they gained control over much of the
Northern California rail trafc. In this process,
Southern Pacic Railroad was formed.
The east side of San Bruno Mountain had
been impassable until the San Bruno Toll
Road was built in 1859. The S. B. Toll Road
(San Bruno Avenue in San Francisco) opened
up the eastern section and cut off the time to
get to San Francisco from the Peninsula. The
Southern Pacic Railroad began acquiring
property east of Bernal Heights and the
Potrero area where acres of reclaimed land
was becoming available that the SP needed to
expand its empire. Plans were made by the
Southern Pacic Railroad (which now includ-

Center, Ive created an entire facility
dedicated to patients with severe disc
conditions that have not responded
to traditional care. My revolutionary,
Crossroads Method, provides a very
high success rate to patients with
serious back, neck, leg and arm pain
even when all else has failed. This
FDA cleared; non-surgical treatment
allows us to rehabilitate your
herniated or degenerative disc(s)
by reversing internal pressure and

harmful side effects.
The only ofce to have
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
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
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.
My severe low back and sciatica
pain have been reduced signifcantly
since receiving spinal decompression
therapy at Crossroads Health Center.
I am now able to walk, golf, and do
things that I havent been able to do in
years! I would also like to say thanks
to Dr. Ferrigno and the offce staff as
they went above and beyond to make
sure my back problem was resolved. I
couldnt be happier!!

A reverse mortgage can be an effective tool for
giving homeowners (62+) additional cash to live on
by using the equity in their home. However, it is
not a decision to be taken lightly.
Its important to work with an
experienced originator who can
help you assess your individual
situation to determine if a reverse
mortgage is right for you.
A reverse mortgage is a unique loan that
enables homeowners (62+) to borrow against their
equity without requiring them to give up title, sell
the home, or take on a monthly mortgage payment.
Proceeds can be taken either through a line of
credit, lump sum, or monthly installments.
There are no income requirements or credit
qualications on a reverse mortgage. However,
the homeowner must maintain the property as their
primary residence and remain current on property
taxes and insurance.
The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage
(HECM) provides the most money, but there is
a newer Saver HECM with signicantly lower
closing costs. Like the original HECM the Saver
HECMhas a xed and adjustable
interest rate program.

Three arrested in connection
with stolen car, pursuit
Three people were arrested this
week in connection with a vehicle
theft after a pursuit by Pacifica
police.
The vehicle, which had been
reported stolen to Daly City police,
was spotted by a Pacifica police
unit on Wednesday around 3:50
p.m. in the 1400 block of Crespi
Drive, according to Sgt. Daniel
Steidle.
Police pursued for a little over a
mile before dropping the chase in
the interest of public safety, Steidle
said.
A few minutes later, the vehicle
was found at St. Peters Church, at
700 Oddstad Blvd., and police
arrested the driver, 20-year-old
Jimmy Baylor of Austin, Texas.
After learning that two other sus-
pects had fled the car, police
searched the church and surround-

of stolen property and criminal con-
spiracy, Steidle said.
Three passengers killed
in Interstate 280 crash
Friday identied
The California Highway Patrol
has identied the victims of a crash
involving a stopped car on Interstate
280 near Redwood City Friday
afternoon that left three people dead
and two seriously injured.
The CHP said 48-year-old Manjit
Kaur, 21-year-old Jasdeep Kaur, and
Manpreet Singh, 28, were killed
after a Volkswagen SUV crashed
into their Lexus sedan, which was
stopped with a at tire in the center
median of northbound Interstate 280
north of Edgewood Road in an unin-
corporated area west of Redwood
City.
The cars driver, identified
Amarjit Singh Multani, 56, was
taken to Stanford Medical Center

Montiel said.
Local briefs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWPORT BEACH A suspect
who red about 50 shots in the park-
ing lot of a crowded Southern
California shopping mall, sending
shoppers sprinting for safety, was
cooperative when ofcers took him
into custody, authorities said
Sunday.
Witnesses said people ran,
screaming and ducking for cover,
when 42-year-old Marcos Gurrola
red into the air and onto the ground
Saturday afternoon near the Macys
department store at the open-air
Fashion Island mall in Newport
Beach.
He paused to reload several times,
police said.
Then Gurrola put the gun down
and offered no resistance when
bicycle ofcers arrested him around
4:30 p.m., said Lt. John Lewis.
He just gave up, Lewis said.
Investigators have no motive,
Lewis said.
Gurrola, of Garden Grove, was
charged with shooting at an inhabit-
ed dwelling. He was being held
Sunday on
$250,000 bail.
Police recovered
a handgun and
ammunition.
Officials said
one person suf-
fered a minor
injury while run-
ning away, and
was treated at
the scene.
The gunre caused panic, coming
a day after a gunman killed 26 chil-
dren and adults at a Connecticut ele-
mentary school, and days after a
deadly mall shooting in Oregon.
The mall, near Pacific Coast
Highway in the heart of Newport
Beach, was crowded with holiday
shoppers and the parking lot was
full.
Many people ran into stores, a
movie theater and other businesses.
Its a miracle nobody got
injured, said Sven Maric, who said
he was celebrating his wifes birth-
day at a restaurant patio about 50
yards away. The bullets had to land
somewhere, and he shot so many.
Some stores voluntarily closed
their doors and kept shoppers inside
while police investigated.
Bret McGaughey, 22, of Laguna
Beach, said he was with his mom in
the Apple store when shoppers ran
to the rear of the store as employees
locked the front entrance. He esti-
mated that up to 100 people stayed
in the back of the store for about 30
minutes until Apple employees
announced that police said it was
safe to reopen the doors.
Gurrola is a licensed security
guard whose rearm permit expired
in 2001, according to the Orange
County Register, which cited state
records.
Gurrola doesnt appear to have a
criminal record, the newspaper said.
A telephone number for a Marcos
Gurrola was disconnected.
On Tuesday, a gunman at an
Oregon shopping mall killed two
people and wounded a third amid a
holiday crowd estimated at 10,000
people. Clackamas County authori-
ties are still trying to determine why
the gunman opened fire before
killing himself.

SAN FRANCISCO Hundreds
of guns have been taken off the
streets of Oakland and San
Francisco in a gun buyback program
that Oakland police Ofcer Johnna
Watson described as a huge suc-
cess.
In exchange for $200 in cash,
Oakland ofcers collected 300 guns,
while San Francisco police collect-
ed 290 guns during Saturdays holi-
day gun buyback program, Watson,
an Oakland police spokeswoman
said Sunday.
The buyback, announced earlier
this month, was the largest
exchange of cash for guns that the
city of Oakland had ever held,
Watson said.
The buyback happened to take
place the day after a man with a rie
went on a rampage, killing 20 chil-
dren and six adults at a Connecticut
elementary school on Friday, per-
haps spurring more people to turn
over their weapons.
It also occurred just a few hours
after four people were wounded in a
shooting between an occupant of a
car and a man standing on an East
Oakland sidewalk, police said.
What inspired me really was
incident that just took place in
Connecticut and my own son was
murdered, Emad Abdullah told tel-
evision station KTVU
(http://bit.ly/U5quOQ). I just want
to help out.
The weapons collected by
Oakland police included handguns,
a fully automatic assault pistol,
shotguns, ries, and a rie with a
bayonet attached to it, Watson said.
Given the tragedy that happened
last Friday at the elementary school,
whatever small part we can do to
prevent a tragedy like that and save
even one life is worth our time and
effort, Watson said.

STATE/NATION
By Mark Sherman
WASHINGTON The next big
issue in the national debate over
guns whether people have a right
to be armed in public is moving
closer to Supreme Court review.
A provocative ruling by a panel of
federal appeals court judges in
Chicago struck down the only
statewide ban on carrying concealed
weapons, in Illinois. The ruling is
somewhat at odds with those of
other federal courts that have large-
ly upheld state and local gun laws,
including restrictions on concealed
weapons, since the Supreme Courts
landmark ruling declaring that peo-
ple have a right to have a gun for
self-defense.
In, 2008, the court voted 5-4 in
District of Columbia v. Heller to
strike
d o w n
Washi ngt ons
ban on handgun own-
ership and focused
mainly on the right to
defend ones own home.
The court left for another day how
broadly the Second Amendment
may protect gun rights in other set-
tings.
Legal scholars say the competing
appellate rulings mean that day is
drawing near for a new high court
case on gun rights.
The appeals court ruling in
Chicago came early in a week that
ended with the mass shooting in
Connecticut that left 28 people
dead, including 20 children at an
elementary school and the pre-
sumed gunman.
Laurie Levenson, a professor at
the Loyola Law School in Los
Angeles, said that along with thorny
legal issues, we have the overlay of
these tragedies hitting us on a some-
what regular basis.
The author of a book that traces
the battle over gun control in the
U.S. said he thinks Supreme Court
intervention is likely in the short-
term. Since the Heller case, the
next great question for the Supreme
Court to decide was whether there is
a right to carry guns in public, said
UCLA law professor Adam
Winkler, whose book Gunght
was published last year.
Roughly 40 states make it easy
for people to carry a gun in public.
But in California, New York and a
few other states, local and state reg-
ulations make it difficult if not
impossible to get a license to carry a
weapon. Illinois and the District of
Columbia have been the only places
to refuse to allow people to be
armed in public.
In some of our most populated
states, the right does not exist either
because its completely forbidden or
practically forbidden, said Alan
Gura, the lawyer who won the
Heller case at the Supreme Court.
Gun rights advocates and gun
control supporters are as split over
the issue of having guns in public as
they were over whether the
Constitution protected gun owner-
ship at all and along the same
lines.
Jonathan Lowy, an attorney with
the Brady Center to Prevent Gun
Violence, said, If law enforcement
makes a determination that some-
body would increase the danger to
the public by carrying a loaded gun
on the streets, then that person
should not be carrying a loaded gun.
Some people in the gun lobby want
to tie the hands of law enforce-
ment.
But Wayne LaPierre, chief execu-
tive ofcer of the National Rie
Association, said, Clearly, the indi-
vidual right under the Constitution
does not apply only to your home.
People have lives outside their
home and the constitutional right
applies outside their home.
Sometimes, LaPierre said, The
only thing to stop a bad guy with a
gun is a good guy with a gun.
Judge Richard Posner of the 7th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
employed similar reasoning in his
majority opinion striking down the
Illinois law.
High court fight looms over guns
SAN FRANCISCO Officials have
released the name of a veteran California
Highway Patrol ofcer who was killed in an
off-duty motorcycle crash, while his col-
leagues remembered him as a dedicated pub-
lic servant.
John Fanene died after the motorcycle he
was riding clipped a pickup truck that had
turned in front of him on Highway 12 near
Faireld around 5:45 p.m. Friday, said CHP
Sgt. Diana McDermott.
The impact knocked Fanene off his
Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle, his personal
motorcycle, and he was hit by a car traveling
in the opposite direction.
Fanene, 38, was pronounced dead at the
scene. A resident of Napa, he had been a CHP
ofcer for 14 years and was assigned to the
CHP truck scales alongside Interstate 80 in
Faireld.
John was a fun-loving co-worker, with a
big heart, said CHP Lt. Mike Ferrell, who
worked with him at the truck scales.

ENCINITAS Public school yoga instruc-
tor Katie Campbell proudly looks out at 23
rst graders as they contain their squirming in
a kid-friendly version of the lotus position.
In a voice barely above a whisper, she says
into her microphone: Why look at everyone
showing me theyre ready for yoga. A-plus,
plus, plus!
Then the lesson begins with deep breathing
and stretches common to many yoga classes.
But there is no chanting of om, no words
spoken in the Indian language of Sanskrit nor
talk of mindfulness or clasping hands in the
prayer position.
Campbell avoids those potential pitfalls for
the Encinitas Union School District, which is
facing the threat of a lawsuit as it launches what
is believed to be the countrys most comprehen-
sive yoga program for a public school system.
Parents opposed to the program say the
classes will indoctrinate their children in
Eastern religion and are not just for exercise.
Its a debate public schools across the coun-
try are increasingly facing with the rising pop-
ularity of the practice and the recent dispute
over school prayer.
Yoga is now taught at public schools from
the rural mountains of West Virginia to the
bustling streets of Brooklyn as a way to ease
stress in todays pressure-packed world where
even kindergartners say they feel tense about
keeping up with their busy schedules. But
most classes are part of an after-school pro-
gram, or are offered only at a few schools or
by some teachers in a district.
Encinitas is believed to be the only public
school system that will have yoga instructors
teach full-time at its nine schools as part of an
overall wellness curriculum that includes
nutrition and a school garden program, among
other things.
This is 21st century P.E. for our schools,
said Encinitas Superintendent Timothy B.
Baird. Its physical. Its strength-building. It
increases exibility but it also deals with
stress reduction and focusing, which kickball
doesnt do.
The program is expected to teach a 30-
minute yoga lesson to roughly 5,000 students
twice a week at the districts schools, which
run kindergarten through sixth grade. It is
funded with a $533,000 grant from the Jois
Foundation, a nonprot whose board of direc-
tors includes the son of the late Indian instruc-
tor Krishna Pattabhi Jois.

NEWTOWN, Conn. The gun-
man in the Connecticut shooting
rampage was carrying an arsenal of
hundreds of rounds of especially
deadly ammunition enough to
kill just about every student in the
school if given enough time,
authorities said Sunday, raising the
chilling possibility that the blood-
bath could have been far worse.
Adam Lanza shot himself in the
head just as he heard police draw-
ing near to the classroom where he
was slaughtering helpless children,
but he had more
ammunition at
the ready in the
form of multi-
ple, high-capac-
ity clips each
capable of hold-
ing 30 bullets.
The disclo-
sure on Sunday
sent shudders
throughout this picturesque New
England community as grieving
families sought to comfort each
other during church services devot-
ed to impossible questions like that
of a 6-year-old girl who asked her
mother: The little children, are
they with the angels?
With so much grieving left to do,
many of Newtowns 27,000 people
wondered whether life could ever
return to normal. And as the work-
week was set to begin, parents
weighed whether to send their own
children back to school.
Gov. Dannel Malloy said the
shooter decided to kill himself
when he heard police closing in
about 10 minutes into the attack.
We surmise that it was during
the second classroom episode that
he heard responders coming and
apparently at that decided to take
his own life, Malloy said on
ABCs This Week.
Authorities said they found hun-
dreds of unused bullets at the school,
which enrolled about 670 students.
There was a lot of ammo, a lot of
clips, said state police Lt. Paul
Vance. Certainly a lot of lives were
potentially saved.
The chief medical examiner has
said the ammunition was the type
designed to break up inside a victims
body and inict the maximum
amount of damage, tearing apart
bone and tissue.
By late afternoon, President
Barack Obama arrived to console
families and speak at a vigil in mem-
ory of the 26 teachers and school-
children who were killed in the sec-
ond-deadliest school shooting in U.S.
history.
Newtown ofcials couldnt say
whether Sandy Hook Elementary
School, would ever reopen.
Were just now getting ready to
talk to our son about who was killed,
said Robert Licata, the father of a boy
who was at the school during the
shooting but escaped harm. Hes not
even there yet.
Jim Agostine, superintendent of
schools in nearby Monroe, said plans
were being made for students from
Sandy Hook to attend classes in his
town this week.
The road ahead for Newtown was
clouded with grief.
Evidence hints at deadlier plan
Adam Lanza
By Christine Amario
MIAMI Schools around the country are
reviewing security plans, adding extra law
enforcement patrols and readying counselors
for the rst day of classes since a shooting
massacre at an elementary school in
Connecticut.
Districts from Alabama to Arizona and
Florida to New England were asking local law
enforcement to increase patrols on Monday.
School ofcials in some areas sent messages
to parents addressing security or stressing that
they have safety plans that are regularly test-
ed. While some ofcials refuse to discuss
plans in detail, it was clear that vigilance will
be high this week at schools around the coun-
try.
Additional police patrols are planned this
week in northern Virginia around the Fairfax
County Public Schools, which is the largest
school system in the Washington area with
181,000 students. Counselors will also be
available at all schools.
This is not in response to any specic threat
but rather a police initiative to enhance safety
and security around the schools and to help
alleviate the understandably high levels of
anxiety, Superintendent Jack Dale said
Sunday.
Those sentiments were echoed to the South
in Floridas Hillsborough Co., where Sheriffs
office spokesman Larry McKinnon said
unmarked and marked cars will patrol the
schools along with deputies in plain clothes.
He wouldnt say how many extra ofcers will
be involved.
The additional patrols will supplement
deputies already assigned to every high school
and junior high school in the area to ease the
fears of parents who may feel uneasy about
sending their children to school. The countys
public school system in the Tampa area
includes around 195,000 students.
The precautions come after a gunman shot
his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School
in Newtown, Conn., on Friday and killed 26
people before shooting himself. The dead
include 20 children ages 6 and 7.
Aside from their students physical safety,
administrators were also concerned about the
psychological toll of the shootings. In
Marylands suburbs outside Washington,
Montgomery County Public Schools will have
counselors available at each school Monday to
support the systems 149,000 students. Chief
of Staff Brian Edwards said ofcials posted
advice online from the National Association of
School Psychologists on Friday to help parents
talk about acts of violence.
Obviously, this is a very difcult situation
that all school communities are dealing with
and the entire nation is dealing with, Edwards
said, adding that the system doesnt discuss
security procedures. You cant change what
occurred, but you try to do the best you can to
help families cope.
In Tucson, Ariz., where a January 2011 mass
shooting killed six and wounded U.S. Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords and 12 others, the largest
school district increased security after Fridays
shooting. Tucson Unified School District
spokeswoman Cara Rene said Sunday that the
district was participating in a memorial being
held at one of its schools on Sunday evening,
with Giffords replacement, Rep. Ron Barber,
a featured speaker along with Superintendent
John Pedicone. Barber was with Giffords at
the constituent meet-and-greet and was among
the wounded.
Rene said planning was under way to help
teachers and students with grief and fear issues
when school resumes Monday, and the district
was working with Tucson police on security
issues.

CAIRO Nevine Mustafa nal-
ly had enough after 10 hours of
waiting to cast her no vote in
Egypts referendum on a highly dis-
puted draft constitution. She and the
other women in line were convinced
the judge running the polling station
was deliberately stalling to drive
away voters opposed to the docu-
ment.
So the 39-year-old housewife and
dozens of other women launched a
protest, blocking the street and
chanting against the judge in an
upper class district of Alexandria,
Egypts second largest city.
The line was not moving since 8
a.m. I protest. It is now 7 p.m., an
agitated Mustafa said at the time.
He wants us to get bored and
leave. After their protest, new of-
cials were brought in to speed up
the process.
The scene was a reection of the
deep distrust of Egypts ruling
Islamists and their management of a
referendum on a draft constitution
that they largely wrote. Questions
raised Sunday over the referen-
dums legitimacy suggest the con-
frontation between Islamists and
their secular, liberal and Christian
opponents will not be resolved by
the long-await-
ed vote.
As Islamist
P r e s i d e n t
Mo h a m m e d
Morsi rushed
the referendum
despite high
pitched opposi-
tion, the dispute
over the charter
has turned into a
ght over the Islamists hold on
power, and the ballot has become a
yes or no vote on the president him-
self.
Rights activists and opponents of
the constitution said Sunday that the
rst round of voting a day earlier
was marred by widespread viola-
tions, including suppression of vot-
ing by opponents of the charter, par-
ticularly women, Christians. A
coalition of rights groups said the
rst round was invalid and should
be held over again.
That appeared highly unlikely.
The Muslim Brotherhood, from
which Morsi hails, said the constitu-
tion was on route to approval.
But the margin from the first
round of voting, which took place in
10 of Egypts 27 provinces, was
narrow and turnout low, at only
32 percent.
Preliminary results showed 55.8
percent backed the draft, according
to the Brotherhood. Its count was
based on a compilation of results
announced at each individual
polling station. In past elections, the
Brotherhoods counts have proven
largely accurate.
The strongest no vote was in
Cairo, with 68 percent, according to
the ofcial website of Egypts state
television. The yes vote narrowly
carried Egypts second largest city,
Alexandria, with nearly 56 percent.
The head of the referendum com-
mission said the ofcial results will
be announced after the second and
last round, scheduled for next
Saturday.

Rocket still centerpiece as
NKoreans mourn Kim
PYONGYANG, North Korea
North Korea parlayed the success of
last weeks rocket launch to glorify
leader Kim Jong Un and his late
father on Sunday, the eve of the rst
anniversary of his death.
The successful ring the rocket on
Wednesday ostensibly to place a
satellite in space was a clear sign
that Kim will continue carrying out
his father Kim Jong Ils policies
even if they draw sanctions and
international condemnation.
The West sees the rocket as a thin-
ly disguised way of carrying out
U.N-banned tests of long-range mis-
sile technology, which it says not
only threatens regional stability but
is also a waste of resources when the
country is struggling with a chronic
food shortage.
There are concerns also that in
upcoming weeks, Pyongyang will
press ahead with a nuclear test.
World brief
TRIPOLI, Libya Four police-
men were shot dead in Libyas trou-
bled eastern city of Benghazi on
Sunday when gunmen red rocket-
propelled grenades on a security
compound there, according to the
Interior Ministry.
Police spokesman Ezzedine al-
Fazani said that the attack was
linked to the recent detention of a
man allegedly involved in last
months assassination of the head of
one of the citys security agencies,
National Security chief Col. Farag
el-Dersi.
The unknown assailants attacked
the security compound, in an appar-
ent attempt to break into a nearby
detention center where the suspect
in el-Dersis killing is being held.
In Benghazi, where the revolt that
unseated longtime ruler Moammar
Gadha began last year, security has
sharply deteriorated over the past
year.
An attack in September on the
U.S. Consulate in Benghazi killed
U.S. ambassador to Libya Chris
Stevens and three other Americans.
Security in the countrys south is
also of concern.

BEIRUT Syrias longtime vice president
said Sunday that his regime and the rebels are
both going down a losing path after 21 months
of civil war, a rare admission by a top govern-
ment ofcial that President Bashar Assads
victory is unlikely.
The comments by Farouk al-Sharaa came as
an Islamist faction of Syrian rebels captured
an infantry base in the northern city of
Aleppo, and Syrian warplanes blasted a
Palestinian refugee camp in Damascus, killing
eight people and wounding dozens, activists
said.
Al-Sharaa told the Lebanese newspaper Al-
Akhbar that neither the rebels nor the Assad
regime can decide the battle militarily. It
appeared to be an attempt to show that the
rebels are not the solution to the Syria con-
ict, and their victory might bring chaos to the
country.
Balancing that, he said the Assad regime
cannot achieve change.
The solution to the conict must come from
within Syria, al-Sharaa said, adding that any
political settlement must include stopping all
types of violence, and the creation of a nation-
al unity government with wide powers.
The Assad regime has long rejected Western
involvement in the civil war and has called for
talks with the opposition. Most rebel groups
refuse to meet with Assad, demanding his
removal from power before laying down their
arms.
Excerpts of the interview were posted on
Al-Akhbars English-language website late
Sunday. The full interview will be published
on Monday, the newspaper said.

Death by decit
Editor,
This is an addendum to Rick
Zobeleins excellent observation of our
looming debt problem and eventual
downfall published in his letter in the
Dec. 14 edition of the Daily Journal.
Our $16 trillion decit, which will
become over $20 trillion by the time
Obama sinks us, is a huge amount of
money. Lets put that in perspective. If
a dollar is a second in time, one trillion
seconds will take us back to 22,000
B.C.! And no one is worried? And
dont forget, theres 16 of those pesky
little trillions right now! And you folks
voted for that little pretender twice?
Good luck!

Adult education
Editor,
Against the backdrop of the call for
more coherency and accountability in
Californias adult education system, I
want to speak to the category of t-
ness classes and enrichment courses for
senior citizens. I pay to enroll in San
Mateo Adult Schools excellent Fifty
Plus classes. For me and others, the
program fosters the maintenance of
both mental and physical capacity. We
not only consume fewer community
and health resources but also contribute
skills, knowledge and talent in our
homes, neighborhoods, and towns.
Demographically, we are a huge group
of unpaid workers who volunteer in
schools, senior centers, churches, pub-
lic agencies and nonprot organiza-
tions. That most of us are no longer
members of the workforce does not
mean we lack benet and, accordingly,
should be excluded from adult educa-
tion offerings.

Response to Moving
right along
Editor,
In his letter published in the Dec. 14
edition of the Daily Journal, Rick
Zobelein thinks that the victory of the
Democrats will cause us lots of prob-
lems because Democrats want to raise
taxes on the rich. He says we need to
take a closer look at some entitlements
that are self serving for a lucky few. Is
he talking about our Social Security
and Medicare? I paid into the Social
Security fund for decades. Social
Security is not funded by the govern-
ment. It is paid for by the workers.
Rick doesnt think raising the taxes
on the wealthy is a good idea. He
prefers cutting our domestic programs.
Rick sees a big difference between the
two corporately funded political parties
that I cant see. Seems like we are still
Moving right along on the same path.
Wars, bankers bailouts, massive job
loss and the danger that our economic
system will come to a total collapse as
the value of the dollar continues to
decline.
Rick doesnt want us to attack the
Republicans but asks for ideas on how
we can solve our nancial problems as
a nation. My idea is to put a 1 percent
sales tax on all transactions on the
stock market and end the wars. There
you are. The crisis would be over.
These two steps will give us plenty of
funds to reinstate the WPA and put
Americans to work repairing our crum-
bling infrastructure. We would not have
to cut Social Security, and we could
fund Medicare for all.

the states stem cell agency, the
California Institute for Regenerative
Medicine, to take a hard look at
CIRMs internal structure and revamp it
to avoid conicts of interest and possi-
ble misuse of taxpayer funds.
Instead of listening, leaders of this
institute a poster child of how ballot
initiatives can be manipulated to create
quasi-public institutions with little pub-
lic oversight have been consumed by
a siege mentality that has prevented any
real introspection.
Theres a chance that may change
today. A blue-ribbon committee of the
National Academy of Sciences is
scheduled to formally present CIRMs
oversight board with a report examining
the agencys internal workings.
Although the report by the academys
Institute of Medicine commends the
agency for raising the prole of stem
cell research nationally, it warns that
the appearance and reality of built-in
conicts could undermine future sup-
port for CIRMs mission.
California should be concerned about
this for at least two reasons:
1). Stem cell research still holds the
promise of potential cures and treat-
ments for diabetes, spinal cord injuries,
Parkinsons and other diseases.
2). The agency will soon run out of
money, limiting the potential from
transforming basic research into real-
world therapies.
A creation of Proposition 71, a 2004
ballot initiative that authorized $3 bil-
lion in state bond funding for stem cell
research, the institute was the brain-
child of Robert Klein, a bond nancier
and patient advocate. Klein, who served
as institute chairman until 2011, wrote
the initiative so CIRM would be insu-
lated from political interference,
whether it be opponents of stem cell
research or taxpayers looking out for
how their money is being spent.
Under the structure that Klein
designed, ultimate decisions about
researching funding are made by a 29-
member governing board largely made
of up representatives from California
universities and hospitals seeking stem
cell research funding. To date, this
oversight board has doled out about
$1.7 billion, with roughly 90 percent
going to institutions with representa-
tives on the board.
Over the years, the built-in conicts
have become all too apparent. In 2007,
the CEO of the Sanford-Burnham
Medical Research Institute in San
Diego, a member of CIRMs oversight
board, intervened to endorse a grant
application to his institution. The inci-
dent brought to light by David
Jensen, the dogged author of the
California Stem Cell Report blog
eventually led to the disqualication of
grant applications from 10 institutions
that were the focus of improper lobby-
ing by oversight board members.
Although the Institute of Medicine
report didnt go into specics about
conicts, it recommended that oversight
board members not be allowed to
decide on specic grants. It also urged
CIRM to create a new scientic adviso-
ry board - composed of experts who do
not have a stake in the funding to
advise CIRM staff on scientic priori-
ties.
In addition, the report also recom-
mended a clear division of responsibili-
ties at the agency, with the oversight
board focused on policy and day-to-day
operations handled by the agencys
president and its senior management.
It is to CIRMs credit that it solicited
the Institute of Medicine report last
year. Although some taxpayers may
blanch at the reports $700,000 price
tag, it will be worth the cost if it leads
to a restructuring of how CIRM oper-
ates.
Of course, if it fails in that task, it
will only afrm the view of many vot-
ers that they should never again endorse
a California research initiative, espe-
cially one like Proposition 71 that lacks
proper controls and accountability over
taxpayer dollars.
Conflicted stem-cell agency must look inward
David Lim
San Mateos
new mayor
D
avid Lim is the rst Asian American to serve as
San Mateo mayor and city council member. Even
though Asian American Pacic Islanders (API)
make up more than 25 percent of the countys population,
the group is just beginning to ex its political muscle in the
region and cities on the Peninsula. Lim joins a growing list
of local city councilmembers: Karyl Matsumoto, South San
Francisco; Wayne Lee,
Millbrae; Peter Ohtaki,
Menlo Park; Steve Okamoto,
Foster City; Jeffrey Gee,
Redwood City; Naomi
Patridge, Half Moon Bay;
Mike Guingona, Daly City;
and Paul Seto, recently
retired from the Millbrae
City Council.
Lim is proud of his her-
itage and happy to be a role
model for young students.
His family history involves a
memorable connection to the
city in which he now lives
and serves.
Lims great grandfather came to the United States in 1903,
illegally because of Chinese exclusion laws. Later his son,
and Lims grandfather, joined him. But the great grandfather
urged his son to move out of San Franciscos Chinatown so
he could better assimilate into American culture. The grand-
father came to San Mateo where he worked in a restaurant
and was later hired as a houseboy by a San Mateo family.
According to Lim, his grandfather could cook great
American food as well as traditional Chinese dishes. His
specialty was desserts, recipes he learned from preparing
delicacies for ladies bridge groups.
The family moved to East Los Angeles where Lims par-
ents settled and he and his sisters grew up. Lim attended
local public schools, UCLA where he majored in political
science and obtained a masters in education. He taught
world history for two years at a public middle school. While
waiting for his application to law school, Lim worked in
Washington, D.C. as an intern for the late congressman Bob
Matsui, D-Sacramento. He was accepted at Hastings law
school, graduated in 1999 and was hired by Alameda
Countys district attorney. He now works for the Santa Clara
County District Attorneys Ofce. His specialty is real estate
fraud.
***
Lim met his wife Terri on a Southwest ight from Oakland
to Los Angeles. They were married in 2002 and have three
children twin girls and a new baby boy. Terri Lim is a
pharmacist for Packard Childrens Hospital in Palo Alto. Lim
has a busy schedule. He is an active member of the council,
is the mock trial coach at Aragon High School and has run
14 marathons to date. He tries to run three to ve miles
every other day. But he also tries to be a good dad and help-
ful husband. He limits his nights out to two to three a week,
saves Friday night for the family, does his laundry and
divides up some chores with his working wife
Lim started a neighborhood watch board and was appoint-
ed to the citys Human Relations Commission (now
Community Relations) in 2003. He was elected to the coun-
cil in 2009. In that time, Lim has been a major player in city
politics. He is not afraid to take bold actions and ask tough
questions. He was the councilmember who called for a spe-
cial meeting on the 7-Eleven debacle, where a chain conven-
ience store has opened up in a residential neighborhood and
infuriated neighbors. It is not a done deal. The Planning
Commission and City Council still have to determine
whether staff improperly issued a permit to locate the chain
on the site of a closed deli despite the fact that the site had
been rezoned as residential and whether 7-Eleven is allowed
to remain open as a non-conforming use. In the meantime,
Lim has publicly questioned the role of his colleague, Jack
Matthews whose rm was hired to work on the 7-Eleven
project.
Lim has a full plate now but there is no question he is des-
tined for higher political ofce at some future time. He is a
second generation American ( his fathers family came from
Guangzhou, China; his mothers family is Chinese but came
from the Philippines) but his ties to the Asian Pacic
Islander advocacy and legislative groups is strong. He is
close to state legislators Paul Fong, Leland Yee, Fiona Ma
and Phil Ting. Being an Asian American is increasingly
becoming a political asset in California. While San Mateo
County has a long way to go before it catches up to San
Francisco and Cupertino where Asian Americans predomi-
nate, 43-year-old Lim has a promising future at either the
regional or state level.

BUSINESS 10
By Matthew Craft
NEW YORK On the road and in
nancial markets, it pays to ask some-
body with a good sense of direction.
Two years ago, most of Wall Streets
economists believed interest rates had
bottomed out.
But not Priya Misra, a top investment
strategist at Bank of America Merrill
Lynch.
She was one of few to argue that the
sputtering U.S. economy and the
European debt crisis would knock long-
term interest rates to record lows in
2011.
I was called quite crazy at that point,
she says.
Her forecast looks clear-sighted today:
The rate on the 10-year Treasury note,
an all-important anchor for mortgage
rates and other loans, seems stuck under
a historically low 2 percent.
So what does Misra think now?
Long-term interest rates will creep
higher, she says, as the economy gradu-
ally gains strength. The wild card is
Washington, where talks are under way
to avert tax increases and government
spending cuts scheduled to start in
January.
Most on Wall Street are condent that
congressional Republicans and the
White House will stave off the full s-
cal cliff because the stakes are so high.
Economists say the tax hikes and spend-
ing cuts could trigger a recession early
next year.
Our assumption is that a deal will get
done, Misra says. If the two sides fail to
strike a bargain, politicians know that
the markets will take it very badly and
blame Washington for it.
Condence in a deal may be shaken,
pushing Treasury yields lower, if the
talks drag on too long. Ethan Harris,
Bank of Americas chief U.S. economist,
says it looks increasingly likely that
budget negotiations will run into the new
year.
If that happens, it may take the nan-
cial markets to force Congress to com-
promise.
Congress and the president have
given themselves way too much to do in
way too little time, Harris says.
Something has to slap Washington in
the face, and itll be the stock market.
Why not the bond market? A ght
over a governments budgets and debt
might be expected to send investors ee-
ing from its bonds, causing prices to fall
and yields, which reect the govern-
ments borrowing rate, to climb.
Battles over budgets in Spain and
Italy, for instance, regularly cause those
countries borrowing rates to jump. In
the United States, traders say a brawl in
Washington would have the opposite
effect.
Thats because rates are also a barom-
eter of worry. When the world economy
appears in danger, banks and big
investors hide money in Treasurys,
ignoring mounting U.S. government
debt because they see this country, the
worlds largest economy, as a trustwor-
thy borrower.
In July, fear that Europes debt trou-
bles could set off a global nancial crisis
drove the 10-year Treasury rate to a
record low, 1.38 percent. Since then, the
European Central Bank has taken steps
to calm the crisis, and the 10-year
Treasury rate has climbed. It was 1.70
percent on Friday.
Could a big budget fight
rattle the bond market?
WASHINGTON Millions of fami-
lies and businesses will get hit by big tax
increases a lot sooner than many realize
if Congress and the White House dont
agree on a plan to skirt the year-end s-
cal cliff of higher tax rates and big gov-
ernment spending cuts.
In fact, they already have.
More than 70 tax breaks enjoyed by
individuals and businesses expired at the
end of 2011.
If Congress doesnt extend them
retroactively back to the beginning of
this year, a typical middle-class family
could face a $4,000 tax increase when it
files its 2012 return in the spring,
according to an analysis by H&R Block,
the tax preparing giant.
At the same time, businesses could
lose dozens of tax breaks they have
enjoyed for years, including generous
credits for investing in research and
development, write-offs for restaurants
and retail stores that expand or upgrade,
and tax breaks for nancial companies
with overseas subsidiaries.
Even if Congress does act, last-minute
changes to federal tax laws could make
it difcult for taxpayers to gure out
their 2012 tax bills.
Were really expecting this upcoming
tax season to be one of the more chal-
lenging ones on record, said Kathy
Pickering, executive director of The Tax
Institute at H&R Block. For your 2012
returns theres so much confusion about
what will be impacted.
Much of Washington is consumed by
negotiations over how to address auto-
matic tax increases scheduled to take
effect next year. Thats when tax cuts
rst enacted under President George W.
Bush, and extended under President
Barack Obama, are scheduled to expire.
A temporary reduction in the Social
Security payroll tax is set to vanish as
well.
Obama wants to let the Bush-era tax
cuts expire on incomes above $200,000
for individuals and $250,000 for married
couples, while extending the tax cuts for
people making less.
Millions face higher taxes real soon without fix
LA VALL DUIXO, Spain When Felix Valls followed his
bank managers advice and invested his entire savings in the
banks stocks, he did it without thinking.
It was a simple question of loyalty. After all, how could he
doubt the local bank that opened an account for him just after
he was born in 1935 with a gift of 5 pesetas, a small fortune in
those days, as a sign of respect to his parents, who were life-
long customers? Now the 77-year-old Valls feels betrayed as he
nds himself locked out of his hard-earned money.
I dont understand whats going on, he said. The only thing
I want is for them to return what is mine.
His plight is shared by thousands of his fellow townspeople
and nearly a million across Spain: Lured by the family-like ties
nurtured between bankers and customers, they poured their
lifes savings into higher-yielding nancial instruments recom-
mended by the people managing their money. When boom
turned to catastrophic bust, they found the stock they had
acquired had become all but worthless.
Once-lifelong friendships have turned to enmity, as victims
cry treachery. In some towns, angry customers have burst into
bank branches with shotguns and yelled death threats. Despair
has set in as many of the victims are elderly people who were
depending on the money to fund their last years.
In towns like La Vall DUixo, bank employees and customers
would often have close relationships, sometimes going out to
have coffee and other times nding themselves sitting together
at school plays. But those times are over.
Jose Romero has spent nearly four decades working at
Bancaja, a regional savings bank that is now part of Spanish
banking giant Bankia. He said relationships with clients have
recently become very tense and sometimes have hovered on the
verge of violence.
The client trusts the brand, but the employee even more,
Romero said. But when you touch their money, people change
radically. Weve seen death threats, insults, people who come in
with shotguns.

NFL SUNDAY: PACKERS BEAT BEARS; TEXANS TOPPLE LUCK, COLTS >> PAGE 15
By Jimmy Golen
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The
New England Patriots silenced their
End Zone Militia on Sunday
night, paying tribute to the victims
of the Connecticut school shooting
by canceling the traditional scoring
celebration in which men dressed as
Revolutionary War soldiers fire
muskets into the air.
Two days after 20 children and
six adults were shot to death at the
Sandy Hook Elementary School in
Newtown, Conn., the Patriots joined
teams across the NFL that honored
the victims memory by asking for a
moment of silence and darkening
their scoreboards.
New York Giants receiver Victor
Cruz, after learning that he was the
favorite player of one 6-year-old
victim, wrote R.I.P. Jack Pinto,
Jack Pinto, my hero and This
one is for you on his shoes for the
Giants game against the Falcons in
Atlanta. Cruz said he called the
boys family after hearing he was a
Giants fan and was told they
planned to bury him in one of
Cruzs No. 80 jerseys.
I dont even know how to put it
into words, Cruz said. There are
no words that can describe the type
of feeling that you get when a kid
idolizes you so much that unfortu-
nately they want to put him in the
casket with your jersey on. I cant
even explain it.
The Patriots, the closest team to
Newtown that was home on Sunday,
wore a helmet sticker with the city
seal and a black ribbon on it. The
Giants, another popular team in
southwestern Connecticut, afxed a
decal with the schools initials
SHES on their helmets.
Houston Texans defensive end J.J.
Watt wrote Newtown, CT on one
of the gloves he wore in warmups
and on both of his shoes for the
game.
Were playing football, and
theres something much bigger
going on in this world, Watt said.

wanted everyone to know, that our

Raiders
shut out
Chiefs
By Josh Dubow
OAKLAND The Oakland Raiders nal-
ly found a team they could beat.
Sebastian Janikowski kicked five field
goals, Darren McFadden rushed for 110 yards
and the Raiders shut out Kansas City for the
second time ever, beating the Chiefs 15-0 on
Sunday.
The Raiders (4-10) overwhelmed the under-
manned Chiefs (2-12) to snap a six-game los-
ing streak. Sandwiched around those losses
are two wins over Kansas City, a rare bright
spot in this disappointing season in Oakland.
There has been little to cheer for this season
for the Chiefs, who have lost 10 of 11 games
and are tied for the second most losses in fran-
chise history behind a 2-14 mark in 2008.
Kansas Citys only win since September came
the day after linebacker Javon Belcher killed
his girlfriend before committing suicide at the
teams practice facility.
About the only bright spot from this loss is
it kept Kansas City in the running for the No.
1 overall draft pick. The Chiefs and Jaguars
are tied with the worst record in the NFL with
two weeks remaining.
This matchup between two old AFL rivals
lacked the meaning many of the past meetings
had with both teams entering the game with at
least 10 losses for the rst time ever.
The quality of play matched the poor
records for much of the day as the Chiefs took
nearly 40 minutes to earn their initial rst
down of the game and the Raiders failed to
reach the end zone.
But with McFadden topping 100 yards for
the third time this season, Carson Palmer
playing turnover-free for the rst time since
September and the Raiders dominating defen-
sively, Oakland came out on top.
The Raiders held Jamaal Charles to 10
yards rushing on nine carries, giving him 14
yards on 14 carries in two games against
Oakland this season. Brady Quinn was 18 for
32 for 136 yards and an interception as he
missed injured receiver Dwayne Bowe.
The Chiefs nally got a rst down with just
more than ve minutes remaining in the third
quarter when Dexter McCluster fought for 8
yards on a catch on third-and-6. Two penalties
by Oakland gave Kansas City 42 yards and
helped set up Kansas City with rst-and-goal
from the 9.
But the drive stalled when Charles was
tackled at the 8 by Matt Giordano after a short
catch on fourth down.
Kansas City also failed to capitalize on a
fumble by McFadden that Justin Houston
recovered at the Oakland 18. An offensive
pass interference and four straight incomple-
tions by Quinn gave the ball back to the
Raiders and helped seal the shutout.

VILLANOVA, Pa. Villanovas Big East
banner that hangs in the rafters already has a
white patch stitched over West Virginia.
The Wildcats can now start putting Xs over
most of the rest of the conference schools, as
well.
The Big East a proud league built on bas-
ketball moments like the 1985 Wildcats stun-
ning conference rival Georgetown in the
national championship game will soon
become extinct, even if the name lives on in
some unrecognizable form.
On Saturday, Villanova, Georgetown, St.
Johns, DePaul, Marquette, Seton Hall and
Providence all decided to ofcially separate
from the conference many of them helped to
build, so they can construct a league focused
on basketball in this ever-changing landscape
of college athletics.
The breakaway from the Big East was only
the rst step. It will be weeks and months of
uncertainty, and possibly lawsuits, before the
nal structure over this transition period falls
into place.
The seven schools must decide who will
join them in the new hoops-heavy conference,
when they want to depart, where theyll play a
conference tournament, and whether they will
attempt to keep the Big East name. Plus, the
league will need a commissioner.
There is no true timetable for any of those
decisions. Like so many of these reshaped
conferences that stretch from coast to coast,
this new league wont be conned to eastern
teams. Xavier, Butler, Dayton, Creighton, and
Gonzaga, way out in Spokane, Wash., also
dont play major college football and would
be natural ts to align with these Catholic
schools. The league also will consider non-
denominational schools, as well.
They dont necessarily have to be Catholic,
but it could happen, Patrick Lyons, Seton
Halls athletic director, said. Were not
restricting it. We also have to consider our
football-playing Big East partners and what
they plan to do. But were extremely excited
about being able to shape our future.
The seven departing schools have won three
mens basketball national championships with
18 Final Four appearances. Georgetown, St.
Johns, Seton Hall and Providence helped
form the Big East, which started playing bas-
ketball in 1979. Villanova joined in 1980, and
Marquette and DePaul in 2005.

Niners win thriller
By Barry Wilner
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The
San Francisco 49ers earned a play-
off berth by withstanding a stunning
comeback by New England from a
28-point decit to beat the Patriots
41-34 on Sunday night in the rain.
Michael Crabtree took a short
pass from Colin Kaepernick and
sped around cornerback Kyle
Arrington for a 38-yard touchdown
with 6:25 to go, then David Akers
made a 28-yard eld goal to clinch
it.
San Francisco (10-3-1) owns at
least a wild-card spot and plays at
Seattle next week with a chance to
win the NFC West. A loss would
bring the division race down to the
nal weekend.
Kaepernick threw for four touch-
downs, two to Crabtree, who had
107 yards receiving. The defense
rattled Tom Brady at times, but also
yielded 443 yards passing.
AFC East champion New England
(10-4), which had won seven in a
row, trailed 31-3 at one point and
lost for the rst time at home in
December in 21 games. The Patriots
also had won 21 in a row in the sec-
ond half of the schedule before San
Francisco somehow regrouped late
in a game it seemingly had clinched
long before.
The 49ers appeared headed for an
easy win in a sloppy game. They
forced four turnovers, matching the
number of giveaways New England
had at home all season.
But then the Niners began sleep-
walking, and back came Brady and
the Patriots on a 6-yard TD run by

NEW YORK Jeremy Lin was
barely hanging on to an NBA job
when he stepped on the oor at
Madison Square Garden last
February.
He returns Monday having
proven hes a legitimate starter and
sometimes star, capable of energiz-
ing a franchise and a fan base, a
player who saved his teams season
and was rewarded with a lucrative
contract.
Linsanity was short but spectacular,
and even the New York Knicks lock-
er room is lled with Lin, who attend-
ed Palo Alto High School, admirers.
Yet on the
court, his old
team hasnt
missed him at
all.
What he did
was amazing. I
mean, I was
watching every
game. He was
hitting game-
winners, he was doing all that. He
was amazing, point guard
Raymond Felton said. But its time
to move on. Were 18-5, whatever
the record is, were 10-0 at home, so
no need to talk about that no more.
Lin makes his lone New York
appearance with the Houston
Rockets, who threw big dollars at
Lin in July and were maybe just as
surprised as so many others when
the Knicks let them have him. They
could have kept Lin simply by
matching the Rockets offer, which
was widely considered to be a fore-
gone conclusion, and the big-mar-
ket Knicks certainly could have
afforded him.
Instead, they traded for Felton,
and signed Jason Kidd and Pablo
Prigioni, and nobody can argue
now. The Knicks are the best in the
league in taking care of the ball a
Lin weakness even during his high-
est point and they have the best
record in the Eastern Conference
with Felton and Kidd starting
together in a two point guard back-
court.
Im not taking anything away
from what we had last year, those
guys gave us all they had, but to
win at a big level in this league
youve got to have good point guard
play. I think Jason Kidd and
Raymond and Pablo have lled that
void that we were somewhat miss-
ing last year, Knicks coach Mike
Woodson said.
The Knicks were going nowhere
without anyone to run former coach
Mike DAntonis offense and just
days from needing to cut Lin or
guarantee his salary for the remain-
der of the season when DAntoni
turned to him in a Feb. 4 game
against the Nets. Lin scored 25
points off the bench, was promoted
to the starting lineup two nights
later, and the phenomenon known
as Linsanity was born.
An undrafted player from
Harvard who had been cut three
times already and was so uncertain
of his NBA future that he had slept
on teammate Landry Fields couch
the night before his breakout
because he had refused to get his
own place with an unguaranteed
contract, Lin became an immediate
hit with fans around the world.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. Jim
Boeheim has experienced a lot since
the dawn of the new century
prostate surgery, a national champi-
onship, induction into the
Basketball Hall of Fame, a pair of
Olympic gold medals, the ring of a
lifelong friend on his staff.
Yet even though its been 50 years
since he enrolled as a freshman at
Syracuse, the 68-year-old Boeheim
just keeps rolling along, as intense
and focused as ever in his 37th year
at his alma mater, worried only
about the next
game when hes
not recruiting or
raising money
for cancer
research.
He hasnt
lost a beat, said
Boeheims wife,
Juli. Jims got
an intense edge
at all times.
One that has brought him to the
doorstep of another milestone
900 victories. Sometime soon
the first chance comes against
Detroit on Monday night in the
Carrier Dome on the court that
bears his name Boeheim will
join a most elite fraternity, one with
only two other members Mike
Krzyzewski (936) and Bob Knight
(902), the only mens coaches in
Division I history to win that many
games.
The sooner we get through it, the
better well be able to focus on the
season, said Boeheim, 899-304 for
his career after his fourth-ranked
Orange (9-0) beat Canisius 85-61
on Saturday night. This team does
not care about how many wins I
have. They care about getting the
next win. Thats it. Everything else
does not matter. It really doesnt.
Im happy Im still here.
Even though his Orange have
won more games the past three sea-
sons than during any three-year
stretch in his career and Boeheims
program is probably better than its
ever been, crossing another thresh-
old on the victory list isnt fodder
for the dinner table.
We dont even mention it at
home, Juli said.
One of a vanishing breed, Boeheim
has been head coach at Syracuse
since 1976 and has never had a desire
to go anywhere else. His rst victory
as a college coach was against
Harvard in Springeld, Mass., a 75-
48 triumph on Nov. 26, 1976.
We were behind at halftime, not
playing well at all, Boeheim
recalled. We just kind of went to
something real simple offensively
and outscored them about 20-some-
thing to six in the second half.
After taking over for Roy
Danforth, Boeheims Orange went
26-4 in his rookie season, losing in
the second round of the NCAA
tournament.

than that. We played our game today, but hon-
estly our thoughts are with them, the families,
the teachers, the friends, the rst responders,
who had to go see that. My dad is a rst
responder. They were just kids.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin said the fact
that the town was only about 90 minutes from
New York City made the loss hit even harder.
Being close to home, the players were
greatly upset about it, he said. Many of the
players have young children so they can
empathize with the parents who had young
children killed. There was no one that
escaped the effect of it, but thats not an
excuse for why we played the way we played
today.
In St. Louis, the players who wear No. 26
Rams running back Daryl Richardson and
Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield
joined hands in a circle with their coaches at
mideld before their game, surrounded by
dozens of children wearing jerseys.
I have a son thats in kindergarten. It
choked me up because I would hate to be one
of those parents, Rams running back Steven
Jackson said. You drop your kid off at
school and he or she wants to go there and
learn and better themselves, and to then go to
the school and nd that your child will no
longer be with you. I couldnt imagine that
thing.
The U.S. ag was at half-staff at Gillette
Stadium, and a spokeswoman said the team
planned to re 26 ares into the air in a
pregame ceremony before New Englands
night game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Flags were also at half-staff in Baltimore,
where the scoreboards went black as the pub-
lic address announcer asked the crowd at the
game between the Ravens and Denver
Broncos to observe silent reection in the
wake of Fridays horric tragedy.
As a parent you drop your kids off at
school many times, said Miami Dolphins
coach Joe Philbin, whose 21-year-old son
Michael fell into a Wisconsin river and
drowned in January. Its hard to put into
words what that community and those fami-
lies must feel like. We obviously kept them in
our prayers.
A moment of silence was observed at all 14
NFL games on Sunday; in Houston and in
Arlington, Texas, the scoreboard went black.
Members of the Buffalo Bills and Seattle
Seahawks stood quietly with their heads down
on their sideline while fans stood silently at
the Rogers Centre in Toronto.
The Bills did continue their pregame habit
of playing U2s Sunday Bloody Sunday,
which theyve played before every home
game this season. The song is in reference to
British troops shooting and killing unarmed
protesters in Derry, Northern Ireland in
January 1972.
In Chicago, Green Bay wide receiver
Donald Driver retweeted the names of the vic-
tims. St. Louis defensive end Chris Long said
after the 36-22 loss the Vikings that it was
hard to feel sorry for himself.

VICTIMS
Danny Woodhead and a 1-yard dive by Brady.
A 5-yard pass to Aaron Hernandez and
Woodheads 1-yard run with 12:13 remaining
tied it.
San Francisco mounted a quick response.
Rookie LaMichael James broke free for a 62-
yard kickoff return. On the next snap the
third time the Niners would have a one-play
TD drive Crabtree took a pass on the left
side, spun and headed into the end zone.
New England turned over the ball on downs

The College of San Mateo womens basket-
ball team couldnt shutoff Santa Monicas 3-
point shooting barrage and fell to the visiting
Corsairs, 77-65, in the consolation nals of
the Tom Martinez Womens Basketball
Invitational Sunday.
CSM (3-7) scored rst, on a jumper by
Jenna David, before 3-pointers by all-tourna-
ment guard Angelique McDaniel and Aniese
Palmore put Santa Monica ahead for good.
The Corsairs (6-7), started with a 12-5 run and
never looked back as McDaniel and Palmore
each sank ve 3-pointers.
The Bulldogs did rally at the end, cutting a
24-point, 62-38, decit in half. That included
a 10-2 run over the nal 3:30 of play before
time ran out.
San Mateos comeback hopes were hurt
when 5-10 freshman Kate Larson (Notre
Dame-Belmont) fouled out with 5:16 left in
the game after grabbing eight rebounds and
scoring six points.
In the Bulldogs 81-72 win over Hartnell on
Saturday Larson had CSMs season high of 23
points and pulled down 12 rebounds. Her play
was an encouraging highlight of the tourna-
ment, according to CSM coach Michelle
Warner.
Larson had missed most of CSMs
November games with an injury.
In the consolation semifinal against
Hartnell, San Mateo needed several come-
backs in the close game, which had 17 lead
changes and six ties. The Bulldogs nally
took the lead for good with at 55-54 with 8:29
left in the game on a steal and lay-in by fresh-
man guard Amanda Lee (Mills High School),
who scored 13 points in the game.
We played our best game, by far, said
CSM coach Michelle Warner after the
Hartnell win. Four Bulldogs scored in double
gures.

CHICAGO The Green Bay
Packers clinched their second
straight NFC North title with a 21-
13 victory over the archrival
Chicago Bears on Sunday.
James Jones caught all three
touchdown passes thrown by the
Packers Aaron Rodgers. Green Bay
has now won six straight in the
NFLs oldest and ercest
rivalry.
The Packers (10-4) have won 12
straight against NFC North oppo-
nents, the longest streak in the NFL.
Brandon Marshall had a 15-yard
TD catch for the Bears, who have
lost ve of six and are in danger of
missing the playoffs after beginning
the year 7-1. Clay Matthews contin-
ued his torture of Jay Cutler with
two sacks, and Alshon Jeffery hurt
the Bears (8-6) with three offensive
pass interference calls late in the
second half.
TEXANS 29, COLTS 17
HOUSTON The Houston
Texans are AFC South champions
for the second straight year.
Andre Johnson had 151 yards
receiving and a touchdown, Bryan
Braman scored on a blocked punt
and Shayne Graham kicked five
eld goals.
The Texans (12-2) grabbed their
rst AFC South title last season
after the Colts nosedived without
injured quarterback Peyton
Manning. Manning is gone and
Andrew Luck couldnt do much
against Houstons defense.
The Colts (9-5) had won three
straight and needed a win to clinch
a playoff berth a year after going 2-
14.
J.J. Watt had three sacks as
Houstons defense got back on track
a week after a 42-14 loss to New
England.
The Texans will have home-eld
advantage throughout the AFC
playoffs in they win out.
REDSKINS 38, BROWNS 21
CLEVELAND Rookie Kirk
Cousins threw for 329 yards and
two touchdowns filling in for
injured star Robert Grifn III, lead-
ing Washington to its fth straight
win.
Cousins connected with Leonard
Hankerson for both TDs in his rst
career start and the Redskins (8-6)
barely missed a beat without the tal-
ented and multi-dimensional RG3,
who sat out with a sprained knee.
Last week, Cousins came off the
bench after Grifn got hurt. Cousins
was behind center from the start of
this one and delivered a perform-
ance that extended Washingtons
longest winning streak since 2007
and moved the Redskins into a tie
for rst in the NFC East.
Rookie Trent Richardson had a
pair of TD runs for the Browns (5-
9).
VIKINGS 36, RAMS 22
ST. LOUIS Adrian Peterson
ran for a season-best 212 yards,
including an 82-yard touchdown
that fueled the Minnesotas big sec-
ond quarter.
Peterson has 1,812 yards rushing,
leaving him 294 shy of breaking the
NFLs single-season record of 2,105
by Eric Dickerson of the Los
Angeles Rams in 1984. Peterson,
less than a year removed from a
serious knee injury, has two games
left at Houston and home against
Green Bay to top Dickerson.
The Vikings (8-6) scored 10 of
their 23 points in the second quarter
off turnovers by Sam Bradford,
including a 29-yard interception
return by defensive end Everson
Griffen.
The Rams fell to 6-7-1.
FALCONS 34, GIANTS 0
ATLANTA Matt Ryan threw
three touchdowns passes and
Atlanta handed the Giants their rst
regular-season shutout since 1996.
Julio Jones caught a couple of
scoring throws from Ryan, who
broke his own franchise records for
completions and passing yards in a
season. He nished 23 of 28 for 270
yards.
The Falcons (12-2), who have
already clinched the NFC South,
moved a step closer to locking up
home-field advantage throughout
the conference playoffs. One more
win would lock it up.
Eli Manning threw two intercep-
tions for New York (8-6), which
came into the game with a one-
game lead over Washington and
Dallas in the NFC East.
BRONCOS 34, RAVENS 17
BALTIMORE Chris Harris
returned an interception 98 yards
for a momentum-turning touch-
down, and Denver won its ninth
straight.
Peyton Manning threw for 204
yards and a score in his ninth con-
secutive win against Baltimore, the
rst with the Broncos (11-3).
Down 10-0 late in the rst half,
the Ravens had a rst-and-goal at
the Denver 4 when Harris stepped in
front of Anquan Boldin, picked off a
pass by Joe Flacco and sprinted
down the right sideline en route to
the longest regular-season intercep-
tion return in Broncos history.
The Ravens (9-5) were playing
their first game under offensive
coordinator Jim Caldwell, who
replaced the red Cam Cameron.
SEAHAWKS 50, BILLS 17
TORONTO Seattle rookie
quarterback Russell Wilson ran for
three touchdowns and threw for
another in leading the Seahawks to
their second straight rout.
Wilson scored on runs of 14, 25
and 4 yards and then hit Zach Miller
for a 4-yard touchdown in helping
the Seahawks score 31 points on
their first five possessions. The
defense forced three consecutive
turnovers to start the second half,
including Earl Thomas scoring on
57-yard interception return.
A week after a 58-0 win at home
against Arizona, the Seahawks (9-5)
inched closer to clinching a playoff
berth and became the NFLs third
team to score 50 points on consecu-
tive weekends. The Bills (5-9) were
knocked out of playoff contention
for a 13th consecutive season.
COWBOYS 27, STEELERS 24 OT
ARLINGTON, Texas
Brandon Carr intercepted a pass
from Ben Roethlisberger to set up
Dan Baileys 21-yard eld goal in
overtime.
The Cowboys won a Bailey kick
on the nal play for the second
straight week since practice squad
linebacker Jerry Brown was killed
in a one-car accident that led to
manslaughter charges against team-
mate Josh Brent.
Carr intercepted Roethlisbergers
pass along the sideline and returned
it 36 yards to the 1. Baileys kick
came after Tony Romo took a 2-
yard loss to put the kicker in better
position.
The Cowboys (8-6) moved into a
three-way tie for the NFC East lead
with the Giants and Redskins. The
Steelers (7-7) lost for the fourth

A
decade ago, I proposed my column
to the then upstart Daily Journal. As
I contended then and still do now,
Im the best they have in my price range.
Seriously, I love reaching readers and gladly
volunteer my time to dispel myths, offer tips
and explain helpful services. Back in 2002, I
thought long and hard about that rst col-
umn. The rst of anything sets a tone, right?
I wanted that rst column to say something
about my style and my organizations style. I
wrote about dog poop. I wanted readers to
see that this column would cover business,
but go for a few smiles, too. Still, there was a
moment after I pressed send when I thought
that might be my rst and only column. Ten
years later, dog poop is still around we
havent solved that one. My friends at Doody
Calls, professional poop-scoopers (When
nature calls, we answer), described a recent
poop emergency and urged me to use this
forum to encourage good behavior and avoid
angry interactions. A man was walking his
dog and the dog went on a neighbors lawn.
That neighbor ew out of the house, irate.
The dog owner did his best to clean up. Since
the homeowner was upset, the dog walker
called Doody Calls. The homeowner seemed
satised with the relief work, but still con-
tacted the police to report the dog walker.
This must have been a frequent occurrence.
People dont like poop, especially when it
doesnt come from their pet. People have got-
ten into sticuffs over dog poop, theyve
harmed animals doing their business and a
person was shot over it. Be responsible. Pick
up day or night, whether youre in plain view
or hidden, whether youre on private or pub-
lic property. If you allow your cat to roam
outside, know you are inviting trouble from
neighbors who dont want their yards to be
litter boxes.

NEW YORK Peter Jacksons The
Hobbit led the box ofce with a haul of $84.8
million, a record-setting opening better than
the three previous Lord of the Rings lms.
The Warner Bros. Middle Earth epic was
the biggest December opening ever, surpass-
ing Will Smiths I Am Legend, which
opened with $77.2 million in 2007, according
to studio estimates Sunday. The Hobbit: An
Unexpected Journey also passed the
December opening of Avatar, which opened
with $77 million. Internationally, The
Hobbit also added $138.2 million, for an
impressive global debut of $223 million.
Despite weak reviews, the 3-D adaptation of
J. R. R. Tolkiens rst novel in the fantasy
series was an even bigger draw than the last
Lord of the Rings movie, The Return of the
King. That lm opened with $72.6 million.
The Hobbit is the rst of another planned
trilogy, with two more lms to be squeezed out
of Tolkiens book.
While Jacksons Rings movies drew many
accolades The Return of the King won
best picture from the Academy Awards the
path for The Hobbit has been rockier. It
received no Golden Globes nominations on
Thursday, though all three Rings lms were
nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press
Association for best picture.
Particularly criticized has been the lms 48-
frames-per-second (double the usual rate), a
hyper-detailed look that some have found jar-
ring. Most moviegoers didnt see The Hobbit
in that version, though, as the new technology
was rolled out in only 461 of the 4,045 theaters
playing the lm.
Regardless of any misgivings over The
Hobbit, the lm was a hit with audiences.
They graded the film with an A
CinemaScore.
Whats really important, what makes this
special is the CinemaScore, said Dan Fellman,
president of domestic distribution for Warner
Bros. All these things point to a great word of
mouth. We havent even made it to the
Christmas holidays yet. Kids are still in school
this week.
The strong opening culminated a long jour-
ney for The Hobbit, which was initially
delayed when a lawsuit dragged on between
Jackson and Rings producer New Line
Cinema over merchandizing revenue. At one
point, Guillermo del Toro was to direct the lm
with Jackson producing. But eventually the
lmmaker opted to direct the movie himself,
originally envisioning two Hobbit lms. The
production also went through the bankruptcy
of distribution partner MGM and a labor dis-
pute in New Zealand, where the lm was shot.
The long delay for The Hobbit, nearly a
decade after the last Lord of the Rings lm,
made it one of those movies that had everyone
scratching their heads as to how it would
open, said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for
box-ofce tracker Hollywood.com.

ed the Central Pacific Railroad as well as
many others tracks) to complete a more
direct line to San Jose around the east side of
San Bruno Mountain but a number of tunnels
needed to be built before the tracks could be
laid. This construction began toward the end
of the 1900s but was interrupted by the 1906
earthquake when a tunnel was damaged.
This event actually aided the SP and other
businesses along the Mission Bay area
because much rubble the quake created was
used to fill in the many water barriers that
slowed the development south of the
Townsend Street/China Basin area. Railroad
yards were placed south of China Basin and
planned for more repair and storage yards by
Brisbane when the Bay was filled in there.
After cleaning up from the earthquake, the
line to the south was completed to San
Bruno by Dec. 8, 1907. This became known
as the Bayshore Cutoff. The former SF & SJ
RR tracks from Daly City were connected
with the Bayshore Cutoff in South San
Francisco and San Bruno. Rail traffic to
Daly City was conducted by these connec-
tions and, by the early 1940s, the rail line
through the Mission District was discontin-
ued and the rails removed. The property
through the Bernal Cut was acquired by San
Francisco and San Jose Avenue was con-
structed. With the increase in truck trans-
portation, the commerce of the Daly
City/Colma area decreased for Southern
Pacific Railroad and the line from Daly City
was discontinued.
By 1955, passenger traffic peaked at
16,000 passenger round trips per day (com-
pared to Caltrains 11,750 round trips per
day) and SP was looking for ways to cut
costs. In 1953, the first diesel locomotive
took over the chore of motive power. In
1957, the last scheduled steam train left San
Francisco at 5:45 p.m. on its last commute
trip. The completion of Bayshore Freeway in
the mid-50s and the shift to the electronics
industry to Silicon Valley that moved jobs
south led to greatly decreased patronage and
the SP continued to lose money on passenger
service. Amtrak was formed in 1971 and pas-
senger service across the United States was
taken over by it. This resulted in Caltrain
being formed to take over the Peninsula
commute in 1980. In 1988, Southern Pacific
was taken over by Rio Grande Industries. In
1992, the Joint Powers Board bought the
right of way from SP for about $210 million
and, by July of 1992, Amtrak was hired to
run the passenger operation.
In 1996, the SP merged with Union
Pacific, forming the largest railroad in the
United States.

HISTORY
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Mark Twains The Adventures
of Huckleberry Finn is considered
one of the greatest novels in
American literature. Its musical
version, Big River, doesnt reach
an equivalent pinnacle, but it has
its virtues.
Theyre apparent in the
TheatreWorks production directed
by Robert Kelley. For one, the
excellent cast produces some fine
renditions of the music and lyrics
by Roger Miller, who has created a
score rife with country, blues and
spirituals. For another, the cast has
fun with some of the situations in
the book by William Hauptman,
who adapted his script from
Twains novel.
Best of all, theres James Monroe
Iglehart, who plays Jim, a runaway
slave who shares Hucks adven-
tures as their raft drifts down the
Mississippi River from the fiction-
al town of St. Petersburg, Mo. A
fine singer, Iglehart is just back
from three years in the Broadway
production of Memphis, in which
he continued to play the role of
Bobby. He had originated the role
in the world premiere at
TheatreWorks. The imposing
Iglehart imbues Jim with a dignity
and integrity that surpass any other
character in the show.
Therefore, the decision by Huck
(Alex Goley) to help him elude
capture becomes both believable
and inevitable even though Huck
understands that in doing so, hes
breaking the law. After all, the
action takes place in the early
1840s, when slavery was legal in
many states and when slaves were
regarded more as property than as
human beings.
This theme comes through
despite the shenanigans of other
characters like Tom Sawyer (Scott
Reardon), a decent fellow who
nevertheless makes everything too
complicated in the name of adven-
ture. The script also spends too
much time on two flimflam men,
the King (Martin Rojas Dietrich)
and the Duke (Jackson Davis),
despite the comedic talents of both
actors. Except for Iglehart and
Goley, nearly everyone else in the
large cast plays multiple charac-
ters.
While Jim is trying to reach a
non-slave state and earn enough
money to free his wife and chil-
dren, from whom he has been sep-
arated for several years, Huck is
trying to escape his drunken, mur-
derous father, Pap (Gary S.
Martinez). The two set off on a raft,
drifting by night and sleeping in
secluded spots during the day. In
one of the more touching scenes,
they spot a boat full of recaptured
slaves, who sing a mournful spiri-
tual.
Music director William
Liberatore conducts the singers and
the six-member orchestra from the
keyboard. The uncluttered set, fea-
turing a backdrop of a winding
river, is by Joe Ragey, with lighting
by Pamila Z. Gray. The choreogra-
phy is by Kikau Alvaro, while the
costumes are by B Modern and the
sound by Jeff Mockus.
Big River, which premiered on
Broadway in 1985, won seven
Tonys, including Best Musical,
Best Score and Best Book. It does
have much to commend it, but the
source still has greater depth.
The show will continue at the
Lucie Stern Theatre, 1305
Middlefield Road, Palo Alto,
through Dec. 30. For tickets and
information, call (650) 463-1960

Year Up Bay Area is a one-year, intensive
training program that provides low-income
young adults, ages 18-24, with a combination
of hands-on skill development, college credits
and corporate internships.
Since opening its doors in 2008, Year Up
has helped almost 500 young adults nd work
or get into college.
About 88 percent of the programs gradu-
ates are employed or attending college within
four months of completing the program.
Year Up has more than 20 corporate partners
in the Bay Area including eBay, Zynga,
Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Gap and Yelp and
a full 100 percent of its students are placed in
internships with these companies and others.
Villegas, a Woodside High School graduate,
always had high expectations for himself.
I wish I had known about Year Up after
graduating high school, he said.
Villegas was a little lost after dropping out
of California State University East Bay but
now knows there are alternatives to nding
success in life other than attending college or
getting a degree.
Most who enroll in the Year Up programs
come from San Francisco or the East Bay but
about 13 percent reside in the Peninsula.

designers, often from the private sector, into
local governments that often havent adapted at
the same rate with new technology.
San Mateo County is one of 29 municipalities
that applied for the 2013 fellowship cycle and
the rst county Human Services Agency
accepted.
This is a way for us to sort of accelerate our
connection to a new world and bring very dif-
ferent eyes, said Beverly Beasley Johnson,
director of the countys Human Services
Agency.
Although the primary focus of the fellows is
better connecting the needy with food and
increasing participation in state and federal pro-
grams, they also receive a month to work on an
issue of their choice and are also free to tackle
other issues or problems that might arise. The
thought of Code For America is that the fellows
will bring a fresh perspective outside of the typ-
ical mode of operation and cut through a lot of
the red tape that bogs down civic innovation in
government. Cities or counties get highly
skilled professionals who could probably pull
in hefty salaries in private employment; the fel-
lows get a shot at creative freedom and the
chance to give back by improving government
service. The code for all projects is open source
and made available for any government entity
so San Mateo Countys solutions may end up
providing answers to needs in any number of
other jurisdictions.
While the fellows are not handed specic
projects, the countys focus includes raising
public awareness of available services, creating
a central point to connect with food resources
and better coordinating between the public and
nonprot food service providers and agencies.
With HSA seeing a 93 percent increase in
food stamp caseloads over the last three years,
Johnson and others involved with hunger issues
say the need to strengthen the food safety net is
more important than ever. And with technology
ever-evolving, the old way of doing business
might not be the most efcient.
In HSA, weve always believed that part of
the problem was the technology divide. Even
our clients often have smartphones, Johnson
said.
A smartphone app might be one result of the
partnership, maybe something a client can use
as one-stop shopping to nd food banks, apply
for food stamps or, as Board of Supervisors
President Adrienne Tissier said, who even
knows?
They will probably come up with things we
never even thought of. The project is to end
hunger in San Mateo County, but were certain-
ly not telling them how to get there, Tissier
said.
Tissier thinks one of the other issues that
could be taken on is developing some sort of
tool to help emancipated foster youth transition
out of the system, such as easing how to receive
copies of birth certicates and court lings.
That the demographic that would really use
an app, she said.
She also hopes the hunger solutions in part
target seniors who are a big piece of the popu-
lation not utilizing the CalFresh program.
Tissier and Johnson had never heard of Code
For America until tipped off by Bill Somerville,
the president and founder of Philanthropic
Ventures Foundation, who Tissier said is always
ready with a new idea or suggestion to make the
community better.
PVF is funding $130,000 of the countys par-
ticipation which is primarily housing, travel and
the stipends the fellows receive for participat-
ing. HSA is covering another $60,000 and
$140,000 came from the general fund.
James Higa, PVFs executive director, said
the unique collaboration should change the
image of the public sectors approach to prob-
lems.
Throw everything youve heard about gov-
ernment being slow and conservative out the
window, Higa said.
The fellows dig into the work in San Mateo
County beginning in February but have already
been busy interviewing county staff and under-
going orientation in Code For Americas San
Francisco ofces.
Serena Wales knows what the fellows just
starting can expect. Wales, a web developer
from New York with a focus on campaigning
tools, was a 2012 fellow in New Orleans, work-
ing on ways to ght blight. She learned how
city government works from the clerks ofce
up to the mayor and at the end felt a great sense
of accomplishment.
Its awesome to see. The code that I spent a
year on is now in the world and thats exciting,
she said.
She said fellows dont come into a communi-
ty saying they have all the answers but rather
are ready to collaborate and offer their skills.
We kind of see the fellowship as the begin-
ning of a process. Everything isnt all shiny in a
year, but its the beginning, she said.
In her case, Wales said there was some skep-
ticism on the part of government workers
because they had a history of working with con-
sultants who promised solutions but never
delivered.
There might be some institutional stagnation
but most people are excited about doing some-
thing different, Wales said.
Back in San Mateo County, ofcials say they
are red up about channeling that type of
excitement and getting under way even if the
task at hand is a bit daunting.
Trying to end hunger is like saying you want
to end homelessness. We may not get 100 per-
cent, and it will take some time, but weve got
to start somewhere. Weve got nowhere to go
but up, Tissier said.
HUNGER
even need a face-to-face appointment anymore.
But when they do, the lobbies of HSAs ve
ofces will be better equipped to get them seen
and served more efciently.
The Redwood City location at 2500
Middleeld Road is the rst of ve to get the
ofce facelift and the county celebrated the
multi-year system redesign on Wednesday by
showing off the renovated space. More than
90,000 residents currently use HSAs services
and, with the full start of the Affordable Care
Act looming in 2014, Clarisa Simon, director of
self-sufciency, and HSA Director Beverly
Beasley Johnson, said even more residents are
expected through the doors.
An estimated 12,500 people will receive
health insurance through the programs Medi-
Cal expansion and those who receive one form
of help through HSA often overlap with other
services.
Clients previously had to wait in lines for
their turn at a window to tell a worker their
needs before being handed forms and told to
ll them out, balancing a clipboard on their
knees while often also trying to keep small
children occupied. The process was lengthy,
often frustrating and not the best use of time
and resources for either workers or clients,
HSA members said at the unveiling.
Now, the documents are completed at tables,
phones are available for those whose problem
can be solved with a call and toys will be
mounted on walls and inside a glassed-in play
area to keep tiny hands and minds occupied
while Mom and Dad focus on the tasks at hand.
The kiosk will deliver the clients requirements
directly to a worker so that he or she is pre-
pared for the case when the number is called
over a speaker and posted on at-screen moni-
tors posted throughout the room. Clients taken
into back areas for interviews no longer crowd
into open cubicles with a lack of privacy.
Instead, now there are individual rooms with
several chairs and even toys. Printers and scan-
ners are at workers ngertips rather than else-
where.
Data from the kiosk will also let HSA analyze
when the ofces have attendance peaks and
lows to better schedule the number of workers
actually needed at any given time.
Some of the changes seem like common
sense. Nobody seemed to know exactly why a
condential drop box inside or after-hours
box outside had never before been imple-
mented. Other arose out of visiting similarly
sized counties as well as counties that imple-
mented their own renovations to check best
practices for ideas. Some they used, some
they discard and some they know are a work
in progress.
But a common theme through the changes is
technology and a new population of users used
to downloading their own forms or connecting
with answers via computers and smartphones.
As part of the redesign, clients can access phone
and online services 24 hours a day, seven days
a week in multiple languages.
The redesign represents the future of eligi-
bility and enrollment, Johnson said at the
unveiling.
HSA
Packard Childrens Hospital Nov. 7. Today,
the girls are gaining weight and getting closer
to going home for the holidays. But the road
to parenthood took a number of unexpected
turns for their parents.
There was an additional baby to plan for
and less time to do the work. There was a lot
of hustle, even a quickly thrown-together
baby shower. There was nine weeks between
the time the Carlsons learned they would have
twins and when Allison Carlson checked into
the hospital at 26 weeks to be constantly mon-
itored. Allison Carlson was given a shot of
steroids at that time to help the little ones start
developing their lungs earlier, said neonatolo-
gist Dr. William Rhine, medical director of
Packard Childrens neonatal intensive care
unit.
Once checked in, there was lots of waiting
and monitoring. Constant monitoring by the
nurses is important. There is a weighing of
risks and benets and trying to be sure the lit-
tle ones are safe.
Dr. Susan Crowe, attending physician and
obstetrician who led the delivery team,
explained the Carlsons situation is quite rare.
The babies umbilical cords created a per-
fect knot leading to an emergency cesare-
an delivery when the girls were 30 weeks
along.
This is her once-in-a-lifetime emergency.
This is my every day, said Crowe when
describing how important it is to make per-
sonal contact with a mom when meeting her
just before delivery.
The team nurses, those in the delivery
room and the NICU was prepared, Crowe
said, making things go a bit smoother. Crowe
took comfort in knowing the NICU team was
ready for the girls. Kate, who was born rst,
weighed in at 3 pounds while Annie weighed
3 pounds 2 ounces.
It was a testimony to the skill of the obste-
tricians to allow the twins to grow in the
womb as much as they did, so that their lungs
were able to mature, Rhine said.
Its natural for the tiny girls to lose weight
at rst, but it was concerning because they
were already so small, said K.C. Carlson. The
couple found comfort in taking part in the reg-
ular baby tasks that they could, like changing
diapers. Today, the girls graduated out of
intensive care and each weighing in at about 5
pounds 2 ounces.
Allison Carlson is optimistic about the chal-
lenges noting they are new parents who have
had signicant help during the rst month.
Any time they were scared or concerned, they
were put at ease, K.C. Carlson added.
Weve learned how to do everything we
need to do, said Allison Carlson.
The last step will be getting into a family
routine at home. First, the little ones need to
be able to feed either by bottle or breast. Then
Kate and Annie will be introduced to Riley,
the family dog. And, they can all celebrate
their rst Christmas together one which
the new parents thought would be their last
before welcoming children.
They get an extra Christmas, K.C. said of
his daughters.
TWINS
MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2012
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Although its
always important for you and your spouse or loved
one to be like-minded, today it could be even more
crucial. Dont expect desirable results if you two
arent simpatico.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even though you
might do little, you could still expect a lot. However,
because your rewards will be commensurate to
your service, youre not apt to get what you want.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Going to a place that
attracts only small groups of people is likely to be
far more pleasing to your taste than being where the
large crowds gather. Make a smart choice.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If youre planning on
hosting something at your place, be very selective
about the guest list. Without careful consideration,
you could invite someone who doesnt ft in, making
everyone uncomfortable.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You might not be as
well tuned to your audience as you think, so be
extremely careful that you dont blurt out something
that could be offensive to your listeners.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your judgment
regarding a commercial matter might not be up to
its usual sharpness. Tread softly when it comes to
negotiating a transaction so that you dont make any
bum deals.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont be tempted to
change a well-considered opinion due to pressure
from a companion. He or she might merely be
biased or self-serving.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you accidentally put
your foot in your mouth by blurting out something
you shouldnt have, take care when trying to make
amends. You could do more damage if youre not
careful.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It could be a big mistake
today to try to alter some social plans that would
affect others in order to suit your personal
interests. You might get your way, but anger a lot of
companions in the process.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You arent apt to
achieve too much today if youre not methodical or
purposeful. Even if you get back on track, it might
be too late to get to where you need to go.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Pretending to
comprehend something you really dont understand
could put you in an embarrassing position. Dont
let your ego get you in a situation that you wont be
prepared to handle.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If youve been
pretending to be the underwriter of hopeless causes
lately, theres a chance that others might get you
involved in a costly undertaking that youll have a
hard time dodging.
