Former San Francisco 49ers and Oakland
Raiders offensive tackle Kwame Harris will
appear in San Mateo County Superior Court
today on charges he assaulted his former
boyfriend at a Menlo Park restaurant during
an argument over soy sauce and underwear.
Harris, 30, is charged with felony counts of
domestic violence causing
great bodily injury and
assault with force likely to
produce great bodily
injury in the Aug. 21, 2012
incident. He has pleaded
not guilty but was held to
answer after a preliminary
hearing last fall. He is due
back in court today for a
pretrial conference to either settle the case or
conrm a jury trial hearing.
The man, Dimitri Geier, is also suing Harris
civilly for assault, battery, false imprison-
ment, negligence and both intentional and
negligent iniction of emotional distress.
Harris and his alleged victim had been in a
romantic relationship but were no longer
involved when they met at Su Hong restaurant
in Menlo Park, said Chief Deputy District
Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Harris attorney Alin Cintean conrms the
pair were previously involved but were just
friends at that point.

Gun buybacka huge success
County collects
371 long guns,
285 handguns
By John S. Marshall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Nearly 700 guns are
off the streets of San Mateo County and in the
hands of law enforcement ofcials after the
latest in a series of what authorities across the
San Francisco Bay
Area have been
describing as success-
ful gun buyback pro-
grams, officials said
Sunday.
In a buyback event
held Saturday, the nal
tally shows that 680
guns including 24
assault weapons
were turned in at the
San Mateo County
Event Center, said
Detective Rebecca Rosenblatt, a San Mateo
County sheriffs spokeswoman.
In addition to the assault weapons, 371
long guns and 285 handguns were turned over
to ofcials, Rosenblatt said.
In exchange for the guns, ofcials paid up
to $100 in cash for a handgun, shotgun or
rie, and up to $200 for an assault weapon.
Feinstein:
Tough odds
for gun ban
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Sen. Dianne
Feinstein, whos leading the push to
restore an assault
weapon ban,
acknowl edged
on Sunday that
the effort faces
tough odds to
pass Congress
and she blamed

rights group.
Feinstein, D-
Calif., on Thursday introduced a bill
that would prohibit 157 specific
weapons and ammunition maga-
zines that have more than 10 rounds.
The White House and fellow
Democrats are skeptical the measure
is going anywhere, given lawmakers
who are looking toward re-election

The San Carlos City Council will consider
Monday night if it wishes to join Redwood
City and other members of the Peninsulas
garbage agency in forming a task force to
evaluate if the group is being as efcient as
possible while asking customers to accept
annual rate hikes.
The Redwood City Council in December
threw out the invitation to other members of
the South Bay Waste Management Authority
to look at possible changes to its governance
structure and board composition. On Monday
night, the San Carlos City Council will decide
whether to join up or pass.
Assistant City Manager Brian Moura, who
also sits on the SBWMA, is recommending
the council say yes and appoint a coun-
cilmember rather than a high-level staff mem-
ber as the citys representative.

San Mateo County and nonprot Silicon
Valley Community Foundation are teaming up
again to offer $1 million in safety net grants to
community organizations providing food,
shelter and help to recently released inmates.
The joint effort is similar to previous ven-
tures between the two entities as a way to help
needy residents in a still sluggish economy.
On Tuesday, County Manager John Maltbie
will ask the Board of Supervisors to sign off
on the proposal which requires both the coun-
ty and foundation to pony up $500,000. The
foundation also expects to commit an equal
County and nonprofit team

The novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane
Austen was rst published anonymously
in London.
Vanity and pride are different things,
though the words are often used synonymously. A
person may be proud without being vain. Pride
relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to
what we would have others think of us.

Help! Too many
crocodiles, police say
JOHANNESBURG Calling all croc-
odile experts South African police say
youre needed to help capture thousands
of crocs out on the lam.
Thousands of crocodiles escaped a
breeding farm along a river on the South
Africa-Botswana border when the farms
gates were opened earlier this week to
alleviate pressure caused by rising ood
waters.
Efforts are now being made to wrangle
the reptiles and get them back to the
Rakwena Crocodile Farm, from where the
vast majority escaped. Hangwani
Mulaudzi, a spokesman for the police in
Limpopo Province, said Friday that
experts are needed right away to help sort
out the crocodile crisis.
Due to the number of crocodiles that
have been washed away there is a need for
expertise, people who have expertise to
come and assist, Mulaudzi said. So we
are just making appeals to anyone ... who
has knowledge of catching crocodiles to
come and assist.
News reports from the scene show peo-
ple hunting down smaller crocodiles at
night, tying them up and taking them back
to the Rakwena Crocodile Farm in north-
ern South Africa. The crocodiles are easi-
er to hunt at night because their eyes glow
when hit with a beam of light. The farms
website shows crocs up to 16 feet long,
though crocs of all sizes escaped,
Mulaudzi said.
It isnt clear exactly how many croco-
diles are on the loose. Mulaudzi said he
believes around 10,000 from multiple
farms remain on the loose. Ofcials from
the Rakwena Crocodile Farm have been
quoted in conicting South African media
accounts as saying either 7,000 escaped or
up to 15,000 escaped. The farm originally
held about 15,000 crocs. About 2,000
crocodiles have been returned to the farm,
Mulaudzi said.The farm did not respond
to an email or calls seeking comment.
Regardless of the exact number of farm-
raised crocs now touring the wild, govern-
ment ofcials and experts are calling on
people who live near the remote region,
which sits on the Limpopo River, to be
careful around bodies of water. Many of
the crocodiles are assumed to now be
residing in the river.
Worms: A Zimbabwe snack,
from tree to dinner table
GWANDA, Zimbabwe In
Zimbabwe, mopane worms are a staple
part of the diet in rural areas and are con-
sidered a delicacy in the cities. They can
be eaten dry, as crunchy as potato chips,
or cooked and drenched in sauce. When
harvest season for the worms began
recently, I decided to document the
process, and I found it somewhat stom-
ach-turning. But the worms can be mighty
tasty and theyre very nutritious. Heres
the scoop on mopane worms.
The worm is the large caterpillar of the
Gonimbrasia belina species, commonly
called the emperor moth. Its called a
mopane worm because it feeds on the
leaves of mopane trees after it hatches in
summer. It has also burrowed into litera-
ture, nding its way, for example, into the
pages of Alexander McCall Smiths series
about The No. 1 Ladies Detective
Agency, set in neighboring Botswana. At
least one of the characters munches on
dried mopane worms.
After six weeks of rain, the mopane
worms cling to mopane trees in rural
Gwanda, an arid cattle-ranching area in
southern Zimbabwe. Amanda Ncube nor-
mally fetches rewood to sell and looks
after the family cattle, but when its
worm-harvesting season she joins other
women and a few men in collecting the
worms and piling them into buckets. The
worms are as long as a hand and as thick
as a cigar. Ncube carefully plucks them
from the lower branches before climbing
partway up the tree to shake off the high-
er worms. The more stubborn ones are
pried loose with a long stick.
The worms excrete a brown liquid once
they make contact with skin, leaving the
pickers hands wet and slippery. As they
harvest the worms, the women and men
move from one tree to another until their
buckets are full. A thick slimy green uid
comes out as Ncube carefully squeezes
out the entrails from a mopane worm she
has just plucked from a tree. During har-
vest season, the porches of mud-walled
homes are covered with thousands of
worms, laid out to dry in the hot sun.

T
ravel to San Jose from San Francisco
was a long, arduous and dusty trip.
To accommodate the travelers along
this trail, establishments were built to pro-
vide food and drink for people, feed for the
horses and a place to stay if night arrived
before you could reach your destination.
These roadhouses were indispensable as
they provided the only comfort for travelers
who many times could not carry their own
provisions and who had to rely on the road-
houses in case of accidents with the horses
and wagons. In the winter, the creeks were
often at ood-stage, preventing the travelers
from continuing their journey.
The mile houses were named so because
they represented the distance traveled from
Mission Dolores in San Francisco. The mis-
sions had been intended to be a days walk
from each other with the Mission Dolores
established at the head of the San Francisco
Peninsula. The main mode of transportation
between the missions was walking or riding a
horse or mule. The trip was long and
exhausting in bad weather. Creeks had to be
traversed without the benet of bridges and
any injury or mishap to the traveler could be
life-threatening. The rst house established
after leaving Mission Dolores was at the
Top of the Hill (Daly City) and called
Abbey House. Next was built the 7-Mile
House beside the creek in Colma (Woodlawn
Cemetery). The date of construction is
unknown and the exact place is speculative
as no photos exist. The 12-Mile House in
Baden (South San Francisco) was built near
the Miller-Lux Ranch that stretched from the
Mission Road (El Camino Real) to the Bay.
The ranch was conned on the north by San
Mile Houses of the Peninsula
One of the best known road houses on the San Francisco Peninsula during the mid-1800s to
the mid-1900s was the 14-Mile House, better known as Uncle Toms Cabin.

Laughter and teasing appears to be common
among the administrative team leading
Crocker Middle School in Hillsborough.
This school year meant a change in leader-
ship, a new regime thats learning and working
together as they prepare for the changes com-
ing in education. While the work is serious
everyone is committed to supporting the stu-
dents Principal Catherine Mikes, Assistant
Principal Chris Collins and Counselor Bonnie
Slater take turns laughing, poking fun at each
other and also pointing out the strengths of the
others on the team.
Catherine, Chris, and Bonnie are a wonder-
fully strong team, said Superintendent
Anthony Ranii. They always present a united
vision and message. They believe strongly in
shared leadership not only amongst the three
of them, but inclusive of the Crocker staff and
larger community. ... All three of them have the
three most important characteristics of school
leaders: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny-
bone.
The trio has some interesting similarities.
Each is married with three children. None of
them live in Hillsborough with their families.
And, working in education wasnt the dream
job for any of them.
Actually, Collins, who grew up in Marin
County, said he was inspired by having both
good and bad teachers. He thought it was
something he could do well. After studying
history, he became a teacher. Collins, who
dreamed of being a pitcher for the San
Francisco Giants, started at Crocker nine years
ago as a teacher. Working as the assistant prin-
cipal was a chance for Collins to keep the tra-
ditions and history of Crocker going.
On the other hand, neither Mikes nor Slater
planned to go into education.
Mikes, a hockey mom, entered the eld on a
whim. She was asked to consider education
when there was a shortage of teachers. From
the rst day working with students, she knew
it was a t. Since then, shes pursued her mas-
ters degree in education and worked at both
public and private schools throughout the East
Bay. She wasnt looking for a job when the
Crocker position became available but consid-
ers herself lucky to be part of the team.
Slater, who grew up in Turlock, thought she
would go into the medical eld as a pediatri-
cian. She instead found a passion for working
with children in education when she began
coaching while in college. She pursued train-
ing in social and emotional learning after
working with inner city children in Southern
California. Slater a certied scuba diver
who previously lived in Japan joined the
district last year as a teacher at West
Hillsborough School. While being at Crocker
is new, the position shes holding isnt. She
was excited to get back to counseling.
Starting as a new team has its perks, said
Slater. All three are learning and working
together (They are also very complimentary of
the help and skills brought to the team by the
other two).
Mikes recognized how unique it is to bring
together a team of people, who dont know one
another, and have it work well. That wouldnt
be possible, each said, without the supportive
community at Crocker from students and
parents to teachers and support staff.
While getting into the groove at Crocker, the
trio is also working to prepare the school to
meet changes that are coming to education.
The common core standards will soon be
implemented, requiring all schools to consider
changes. Together, the group is working
toward nishing that vision with the support of
their school.
In the meantime, laughter and hard work
remains. And, Oklahoma native Mikes
assumes shell continue to have students tease
her for the teams she chooses to support the
Oklahoma Sooners football team and the
Dallas Stars hockey team.
Students often throw Texas longhorns or
make the Sharks chomping jaws gestures to
Mikes. On sports day, students even personal-
ized a jersey for their new principal. The good
news is, its probably a pretty good sign that
shes reaching her goal of having children feel
comfortable around her.

Tug collides with
sailboat in Bay, two rescued
Two people have been pulled from the frigid
San Francisco Bay water after a tugboat escort-
ing a barge collided with their sailboat.
Coast Guard Ensign Corrine Gaines says
Saturday afternoons collision occurred near the
Golden Gate Bridge caused the sailboat to sink.

Police investigating
Saturday night fatal shooting

Report: Fire agency
hid $3.6 million from state
SACRAMENTO An investigation has
found that the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection hid $3.6 million
in collected legal settlements rather than
depositing the money into the states general
fund as required.
For seven years, the agency paid the
California District Attorneys Association to
hold the money and used the cash for equip-
ment purchases and training, the Los Angeles
Times reported Saturday.
Documents reviewed by the Times show
that top agency ofcials were aware of poten-
tial problems with the fund as early as 2008,
when an internal audit was launched. The
practice didnt end until last year, however,
amid questions about whether the fund was
legal.
Cal Fires own regulations stipulate that
proceeds of legal settlements go to the states
general fund.
In early drafts, auditors said Cal Fire need-
ed approval from the state Department of
Finance for the separate fund. They added that
Cal Fires chief counsel expressed concern
that if the Finance Department learned about
the fund, it would demand that the money be
placed in the state treasury.
State hasnt bought
land for bullet train route
Construction of Californias high-speed rail
network is set to start in July, but the state still
has not purchased any land along the route.
Purchase offers are expected to be made in
the next several weeks.
But experts tell the newspaper that the state
faces a convoluted legal process that will drive
up prices and giving farmers, businesses and
homeowners leverage to delay the project by
weeks or months.
One major hurdle could be valuing agricul-
tural land in the Central Valley, where prices
have spiked, raising property owners expecta-
tions above what the state expects to pay.

WASHINGTON In an earlier era, a move
like the one engineered by House GOP leaders
to pass a no budget, no pay measure probably
would have been stopped in its tracks.
But with Congress approval ratings in the
gutter, House lawmakers pushed aside ques-
tions about fairness and constitutionality and
tacked the idea on to an unpopular, must-pass
measure to increase the governments borrow-
ing cap.
The measure temporarily would withhold
pay from any member of the House or Senate
whose chamber doesnt pass a budget this year.
The Senate is expected to approve it in the
coming week, but only after leaders make clear
they think no budget, no pay is rife with
aws and is not going to be repeated.
The proposal is before the Senate because the
House breezed past objections that the idea is
unconstitutional because it could vary the
pay of lawmakers in violation of the 27th
Amendment to the Constitution. The House
ignored concerns that the measure is unfair to
members who are in the minority and are pow-
erless to determine whether a budget passes or
not.
Nearly unmentioned was the prospect that
withholding lawmakers pay favors wealthy
members over those of more modest means and
could, in theory, attract more afuent candi-
dates better able to withstand having some of
their $174,000 salary withheld.
The last thing we want to do is to say to peo-
ple running for Congress, If youre not a mil-
lionaire, dont run because theres no guarantee
youll be paid, said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-
N.Y.
For these reasons and more, the idea went
nowhere in the last congressional session. But
it was embraced about a week ago by House
GOP leaders such as Speaker John Boehner of
Ohio as they struggled to avoid a potential mar-
ket-crippling default on government obliga-
tions.
The proposal is a slap at the Democratic-con-
trolled Senate, which hasnt passed a budget
since 2009. Republicans advanced the measure
as a one-year experiment rather than a perma-
nent law.
The logic behind no budget, no pay goes
like this: Passing a budget is the core responsi-
bility of Congress, so why should lawmakers
get paid if they dont do their main job?
The hardworking people that I represent
wouldnt be paid if they didnt show up and
they didnt do their job, said Rep. Michael
Fitzpatrick, R-Pa. And this place should oper-
ate no differently.

WASHINGTON Buying your own
health insurance will never be the same.
This fall, new insurance markets called
exchanges will open in each state, marking the
long-awaited and much-debated debut of
President Barack Obamas health care over-
haul.
The goal is quality coverage for millions of
uninsured people in the United States. What
the reality will look like is anybodys guess
from bureaucracy, confusion and indifference
to seamless service and satised customers.
Exchanges will offer individuals and their
families a choice of private health plans
resembling what workers at major companies
already get. The government will help many
middle-class households pay their premiums,
while low-income people will be referred to
safety-net programs they might qualify for.
Most people will go online to pick a plan
when open enrollment starts Oct. 1.
Counselors will be available at call centers
and in local communities, too. Some areas
will get a storefront operation or kiosks at the
mall. Translation to Spanish and other lan-
guages spoken by immigrants will be provid-
ed.
When you pick a plan, youll no longer have
to worry about getting turned down or charged
more because of a medical problem. If youre
a woman, you cant be charged a higher pre-
mium because of gender. Middle-aged people
and those nearing retirement will get a price
break: They cant be charged more than three
times what younger customers pay, compared
with six times or seven times today.
If all this sounds too good to be true,
remember that nothing in life is free and
change isnt easy.
Starting Jan. 1, 2014, when coverage takes
effect in the exchanges, virtually everyone in
the country will be required by law to have
health insurance or face nes. The mandate is
meant to get everybody paying into the insur-
ance pool.
Consumer alert: New health care markets on the way
The last thing we want to do is to say to people
running for Congress,If youre not a millionaire,
dont run because theres no guarantee youll be paid.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama says gun-control
advocates should be better listeners
in the debate over firearms in
America.
In an interview with The New
Republic, Obama says he has a
profound respect for the tradition
of hunting that dates back for gener-
ations.
And I think those who dismiss
that out of hand make a big mistake.
Part of being able to move this for-
ward is understanding the reality of
guns in urban areas are very differ-
ent from the realities of guns in rural
areas, he says.
Obama has called for a ban on
military-style assault weapons and
high-capacity ammunition maga-
zines and is pushing other policies
following the mass shooting last
month at an elementary school in
Newtown, Conn. In response, gun-
rights advocates have accused
Obama and others of ignoring the
Second Amendment rights of
Americans.
The president says its under-
standable that people are protective
of their family traditions when it
comes to hunting.
So its trying to bridge those
gaps that I think is going to be part
of the biggest task over the next sev-
eral months. And that means that
advocates of gun control have to do
a little more listening than they do
sometimes, he says.
Has Obama himself ever red a
gun?
Yes, the president says, in fact,
up at Camp David, we do skeet
shooting all the time.
His daughters dont shoot skeet at
the presidential retreat in Maryland,
he adds, but oftentimes guests of
mine go up there.
The interview appears in the Feb.
11 issue of The New Republic.
Obama: Gun-control advocates have to listen more
REUTERS FILE PHOTO
Barack Obama unveiled a series of proposals to counter gun violence with Vice President Joe Biden on Jan. 16.
By Adam Geller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK It sounds, at rst,
like a bold, next-generation solution:
personalizing guns with technology
that keeps them from ring if they
ever get into the wrong hands.
But when the White House called
for pushing ahead with such new
technology as part of President
Obamas plan to cut gun violence,
the administration did not mention
the concepts embattled past. As
with so much else in the nations
long-running divisions over gun
rights and regulation, what sounds
like a futuristic vision is, in fact, an
idea that has been kicked around for
years, sidelined by intense suspicion,
doubts about feasibility and pressure
tactics.
Now proponents of so-called per-
sonalized or smart guns are hoping
the nations renewed attention on
firearms following the Newtown
school massacre will kick start
research and sale of safer weapons.
But despite the Obama administra-
tions promise to encourage the
development of innovative gun safe-
ty technology, advocates have good
reason to be wary.
In the fiery debate over guns,
personalized weapons have long
occupied particularly shaky
ground an idea criticized both
by gun-rights groups and some
gun control advocates.
To the gun groups, the idea of
using technology to control who can
re a gun smacks of a limitation on
personal rights, particularly if it
might be mandated by government.
At the same time, some gun control
advocates worry that such technolo-
gy, by making guns appear falsely
safe, would encourage Americans to
stock up on even more weapons then
they already have in their homes.
Without the politics, the notion of
using radio frequency technology,
biometric sensors or other gadgetry
in a gun capable of recognizing its
owner sounds like something
straight out of James Bond. In fact, it
is. In the latest Bond ick, Skyfall,
Agent 007s quartermaster passes
him a 9 mm pistol coded to his palm
print.
Only you can re it, the contact
tells the agent. Less of a random
killing machine. More of a personal
statement.
In real life, though, theres no get-
ting around the politics, and the
debate over personalized guns long
ago strayed well beyond questions of
whether the technology will work.
Those were the first questions
asked in 1994 when the research arm
of the Justice Department began
studying prospects of making a
police gun that a criminal would not
be able to re if he wrestled it away
during a struggle.

Commendations for councilman
Editor,
I strongly commend San Carlos
Councilman Ron Collins approach to
the Transit Village proposal currently
under consideration by the city of San
Carlos (What it takes to build a vil-
lage guest perspective in the Jan. 25
edition of the Daily Journal).
He is the rst member of the City
Council to voice serious questions and
concern regarding the background and
history of this long-running proposal
unresolved issues that been ques-
tioned by many San Carlos residents
for some time now.

A middle ground on gun control
Editor,
Being a gun owner, and with all the
recent events, I cant help but feel
demonized on both sides even though I
am in the middle on this issue.
The truth is that gun owners such as
myself support effective legislation.
Universal background checks and
capacity limit to 10 rounds (already in
effect in California) would truly work
to reduce the amount of gun violence
while leaving legal gun owners with the
minor inconvenience of paperwork and
having to spend more time reloading.
The proposed Assault Weapon Ban
and Assembly Bill 48 will only serve to
make the popular modular modern
sporting rie illegal and take the fun
out of visiting the range by making it
difcult to purchase ammunition.
Despite how the media portrays us,
most gun owners have a good under-
standing of safety and the necessity of
sane gun control.

Gun laws
Editor,
It has been reported that Honduras
and El Salvador compete for the high-
est murder rate in spite of the most
restrictive gun laws in the world while
Switzerland, where everyone is
required to own a gun and know how to
use it, has one of the lowest murder
rates.
There will naturally be some people
who will, with all good intentions, truly
believe that getting rid of all guns will
improve safety in spite of our dramatic
demonstration by 19 young men with
nothing more than box cutters taking
out more than 3,000 people, three 747
airliners and two rather large buildings
on 9/11.
Wouldnt you rather be on an air-
plane with some good American who
had a concealed carry permit?

SFOs name should remain
Editor,
The editorial in support of keeping
SFOs name, SFOs name should
remain, in the Jan. 23 edition of the
Daily Journal, was absolutely on the
mark.
Yes, its true that political gures
have had lasting and culture-changing
inuences. Their names would rightly
be on libraries, colleges and other facil-
ities that contribute to their furthering
of human rights and understanding.
If any persons name was more logi-
cal and appropriate for being perma-
nently associated with SFO, it would
be Darius Odgen Mills. With the for-
mer Mills family estate overlooking the
airport, and the pioneering inuence
Darius had in developing the areas
economy, what a more tting name is
there?
I cant think of any reason for chang-
ing SFOs name, but if it had to change
then name the airport Mills Field.

F
oster City continues to move
forward and the inertia that car-
ries it stops for no individual.
The reality is that the perpetual mecha-
nism of change is upon us and will cre-
ate its own path with resultant out-
comes unless we intervene to shape our
future. Together we must determine
what issues require our attention and
direction. In this way we can better pre-
pare the city to meet the expectations of
our residents and our regional commu-
nity.
Foster City is a community of fami-
lies with young children who come to
enjoy our parks, safe streets and high
quality of our public schools. The
promise of a safe environment that is
healthy and sustainable would seem to
be of great importance to all of us. I
have grown increasing concerned with
the issue of smoking and its impact on
our community. This serious issue has
been brought to the forefront by a
report, which scores Foster City as an
F. This is in sharp contrast to Forbes
magazine rating our
city in the top 10
best cities to live in.
During my tenure
on the Foster City
Parks and
Recreation
Committee, I had
the pleasure to serve
with Steve
Okamoto. He was chair and I was vice
chair respectively. Now Councilman
Okamoto championed an effort, which
resulted in a resolution to ban smoking
at all public events. The implementa-
tion went fairly smooth with most, if
not all, residents voluntarily complying.
The policy question that remains is
whether the city should expand its non-
smoking resolution and give it the force
of law through an ordinance. This issue
was rst proposed for our policy calen-
dar by Councilman Okamoto and earli-
er this year by me. With the guidance
of my fellow councilmembers and the
indispensable input from our residents,
we hope to bring clarity and draft a pol-
icy position for the citys consideration.
The question is whether we should be
using better efforts to protect our chil-
dren and community from the hazards
of second-hand smoke. We as a city
spend a great amount of time, energy
and dollars to build and maintain our
citys infrastructure and cosmetic
appeal. In fact, we fund the continued
maintenance and growth through vari-
ous capital improvement programs and
initiatives. We do this because we con-
sider these resources to be important
enough to protect. I posit that our most
important resource is our young chil-
dren. We need to nurture and protect
them. This includes protecting them
activities, inuences or materials that
can cause them harm.

Where theres smoke A realistic future for
downtown San Mateo
D
owntowns, similar to cities, are subject to change.
Thats what makes them potentially exciting places
to live, work and visit. But when cities and down-
towns stagnate, become dull and lack energy, they begin to
fail.
Downtown San Mateo has experienced these changes.
Before the Hillsdale Shopping Center became the citys shop-
ping mecca, downtown San Mateo was the place to buy
clothes, shoes, sports equip-
ment, furniture, groceries,
stationary and books. It
included department stores
such as I. Magnin, Joseph
Magnin, Livingstons, Levy
Brothers, Roos Brothers,
Judd Green and J.C. Penney.
All of these stores, with the
exception of J.C. Penney, are
defunct. The one thing it was
short on was good restau-
rants. The locals shopped
downtown but went to San
Francisco for ne dining.
***
Fast forward to today. San
Mateo hosts 120 restaurants
downtown. No need to head
to the city for a good meal. But retail has taken a hit. The
most viable today are Talbots Toyland and Cyclery;
Walgreens drug store and Draegers emporium market. All
but Talbots is part of a chain. Noahs Bagels, Baskin-
Robbins, Starbucks and Peets Coffee and Tea are also popu-
lar chain destinations. The place which has lines outside is
TPumps, the Asian tea house that is a favorite of the under-30
set. There are a few specialty stores which survive, but its a
challenge for those establishments not part of a larger busi-
ness.
For many years, the downtown purists have fought against
ofces because they would be empty at night and create a
dead atmosphere. Wanted are attractive storefronts so people
have something to look at and potentially buy as they window
shop. These goals are in the citys General Plan. The irony is
that these same purists fought the movie theater saying it was
too big, would create too much trafc and crime and
would ultimately destroy downtown. As we know, the cinema
helped the revival. Even on a Monday night, the streets are
crowded. The theater didnt do much for retail but it certainly
attracted restaurants and brought a nightlife to the city which
San Mateo had not enjoyed in years.
***
So what is a realistic and viable vision? San Mateo already
has many advantages. It has become a magnet for expensive
retirement buildings the Stratford, the Peninsula Regent,
the apartments and condos which ring the downtown. These
seniors are potential downtown customers. Their shopping
needs could attract new specialty stores. Central Park strad-
dles Fifth Avenue and could be a gateway to downtown. San
Mateo feels authentic, it maintains its historic buildings and
connection with the past. It is not dominated by chains. It
offers an assortment of ethnic eateries which are popular with
young people who work in or near downtown. And those
startups are not to be disparaged but encouraged because they
bring energy and young adults to the citys center.
***
So how does Draper University and its expansion plans t
into the mix? The Benjamin Franklin Hotel, once lled with
United Airlines employees, has remained empty since United
left. Then Tim Draper came to the rescue and set up his
entrepreneur university. Talk of a boutique hotel or expensive
condos went nowhere because the hotel has no parking. A
dormitory for students attending a private college was not on
the list of possibilities. But so what? It has provided an inno-
vative way to do something productive with the ghost hotel.
A more challenging issue is Drapers plans for the
Collective Building across the street on Third Avenue. The
antique dealers moved out some time ago. A startup company
rented part of the space but its expansion was squelched
when it wanted to occupy the front of the building. Then the
city loosened its requirements to allow retail in the back as
long as the front had a retail look and purpose. Draper is try-
ing to t university expansion plans into these parameters. He
came up with pop-up retail, trial runs for retail entrepreneurs,
who will operate in the Collective for three months, try sell-
ing their wares and not have to worry about typical startup
costs. If traditional retail isnt going to happen, then exibili-
ty is needed. Kudos to the Planning Commission for allowing
Draper to move forward, but with certain conditions. And to
the new Downtown San Mateo Association executive director,
Jessica Evans, who sees the necessity for an updated vision.
The fact is, while retail dominated the old downtown, times
have changed. The competition from Hillsdale, Burlingame
and the increase in online shopping dim the chances of a tra-
ditional retail revival. Lets take advantage of new opportuni-
ties to keep downtown San Mateo strong.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Health care stocks have
started off the year on a tear.
The industry group that includes health care
providers, drugmakers and biotechnology
companies has advanced 7.3 percent this year,
making it the second-best in the Standard and
Poors 500 index, trailing only energy compa-
nies. Even drugmakers, traditionally consid-
ered a safe-haven play, are outperforming the
market.
The rally has solid foundations, but not all
companies will benet equally from the inux
of cash. Also, the wide range of stocks in the
sector offer investors vastly differing risk and
return dynamics.
U.S. health care spending is projected to
climb at a faster pace than economic growth
in coming years as the population ages and
President Barack Obamas Affordable Care
Act gives millions of Americans greater
access to care.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services projects that total health care spend-
ing will rise 70 percent over last years esti-
mated level of $2.8 trillion to $4.8 trillion by
2021. Thats almost 20 percent of U.S. gross
domestic product.
Theres just a lot more money owing into
health care and were seeing the markets react
accordingly, says Derek Taner, a portfolio
manager at Invesco.
President Obamas re-election in November
gave the sector a boost by removing the
uncertainty surrounding the implementation
of the Affordable Care Act. Republican candi-
date Mitt Romney had said that he would
overturn the act if elected.
The biggest beneciaries of the act will
likely be hospital companies, which have the
potential to increase their earnings signi-
cantly, says Taner, who manages Invescos
Global Health Care fund.
So-called managed-care companies should
also benet from the increase in spending,
though they also face higher taxes and restric-
tions on how they can price their coverage, so
the law will be challenging to them too.
HCA Holdings Inc., a bellwether for the
hospital industry, has gained 25 percent so far
this year. Tenet Healthcare Corp., a Dallas-
based operator of acute care hospitals, has
advanced 20 percent.
Drugmakers, often regarded as defensive
growth companies by analysts, are also
emerging from the doldrums after lagging the
broader index for much of the last decade.
Pzer Inc., the worlds biggest drugmaker
by revenue, has returned 31 percent over the
last 10 years, compared with 113 percent for
the S&P 500.
The big pharmaceutical companies were
shunned by investors as they faced challenges
from rising research costs and the economic
slump in Europe, which prompted govern-
ments to try to rein in health care spending.
Drug companies were also hurt by what the
industry dubbed the patent cliff, as an
unprecedented number of patents expired on
drugs worth billions of dollars in sales. The
expiration of patents allows cheaper generic
versions of drugs to replace blockbuster prod-
ucts. That hurts sales.
Pzer lost exclusivity for its cholesterol-
ghting drug Lipitor in the U.S. in November
2011. In its most recent earnings report, Pzer
said that U.S. revenues from the drug plunged
87 percent in the third quarter of 2012 to $192
million. The company will release its fourth-
quarter earnings Tuesday.
The worst of the impact of patent expiration
may now be over for the drugmakers, and the
market has already factored it into stock
prices, says Mark Bussard, a health care ana-
lyst at fund manager T. Rowe Price.
The patent cliff for most of the compa-
nies has now come and gone, says Bussard,
who is a physician by training. Some of the
largest losses to generic competition are in the
rear-view mirror now.
Approvals for rst-of-a-kind drugs have
also been climbing as drugmakers continue to
pursue an emerging business model focused
on treatments for rare and hard-to-treat dis-
eases.
The Food and Drug Administration
approved 39 new drugs last year, up from 30
the year before and the highest annual tally
since 1997, when the agency also approved 39
drugs.
In addition to being relatively low-risk
investments, due to the steady demand for
drugs, Big Pharma also pays big dividends.
The largest drug companies in the S&P 500
have higher dividend yields than the broader
index, which yields 2.1 percent. Pzer cur-
rently has a 3.6 percent yield and Merck &
Co. yields 4 percent.
Health care among early leaders in the S&P

DAVOS, Switzerland The fragile state of
the world economy, coupled with the relentless
turmoil in Syria and the rocky fallout from the
Arab Spring, dominated discussions during
this years annual gathering of the global elite
at Davos, leaving many participants uneasy
about what lies ahead as they left for home
Sunday.
Even broad agreement that there are some
positive signs on the economic front, at least in
emerging markets, was coupled with a warning
from the head of the International Monetary
Fund. Do not relax, Christine Lagarde said.
Theres still a risk of relapse.
More than 2,500 of the best and brightest in
business, government, academia and civic life
gathered for the ve-day World Economic
Forum at this Alpine resort. But much of the
overt glitz and glamor that is a usual feature
was toned down or absent this year, a decision
founder Klaus Schwab said reected the seri-
ous issues facing the world.
Political and economic issues vie for top
billing each year at Davos, and this time, the
economy had the edge, with a special focus on
how to promote economic growth and jobs,
especially for the youth among the worlds 220
million jobless.
The IMF said that China, Africa and other
emerging markets could see signicant growth,
but Japan, eurozone nations and the U.S. are
likely to struggle with negative to low growth.
Ahead of the 43rd forum, the IMF downgraded
its forecast for global economic growth this
year by one-tenth of a percentage point to 3.5
percent.
While the U.S. avoided the so-called scal
cliff of automatic tax increases and spending
cuts, and fears have abated that the euro curren-
cy union will break up, there is growing con-
cern that governments may ease up on meas-
ures to improve growth and reduce debt that the
IMF and many other institutions are calling for.
IMF chief Lagarde said the very fragile and
timid recovery depends on leaders in the 17-
nation eurozone, the United States and Japan
making the right decisions. The eurozone in
particular is fragile because it is prone to
political crisis and slow decision-making, she
said.
Davos participants uneasiness about the
world economy was matched by growing con-
cern over the political turmoil in the Arab
world, terrorism in North Africa, a spate of nat-
ural disasters that have highlighted the failure
to tackle climate change, and the growing
inequality between the worlds haves and
have nots.
Two years ago, gloom around the stalled
economic recovery was leavened by euphoria
at the outbreak of the Arab spring, Kenneth
Roth, the executive director of Human Rights
Watch, told the Associated Press at Saturday
nights low-key nal reception. This year,
relief at the improved economic outlook is
tempered by despair at the unimpeded slaugh-
ter in Syria, uncertainty about the outlook in
Egypt, and frustration over the Arab monar-
chies resistance to reform.
Fragile economy, other global woes dominated Davos
Theres just a lot more
money owing into health care and
were seeing the markets react accordingly.

A new market, black
as ink: Printer toner
By Tom Hays
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Manhattan hospital clerk Marque Gumbs was
doing so well moonlighting as a peddler of stolen property that
he drove a BMW, shopped at designer stores like Burberry and
vacationed in Las Vegas and Mexico.
But unlike other more common thieves brazenly living beyond
their means, his contraband wasnt jewelry or electronics it
was toner for copiers and printers.
The $1.5 million scheme at the prestigious Memorial Sloan-
Kettering Cancer Center exploited what New York City authori-
ties describe as a largely overlooked, yet lucrative black market
for toner cartridges and other ofce supplies.
Businesses have long endured employees pilfering pens, paper
clips and other items for personal use, called supply-jacking.
But schemes like Gumbs go much further, with the perpetrators
using business accounts to place false orders for more costly
items such as toner, then reselling them at a steep discount.
Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, a large law rm in
Manhattans nancial district, recently became the scene of
another toner caper that ended with grand larceny charges
against Adrian Rodriguez, who worked in the duplicating depart-
ment.
This defendant didnt just take a box of Post-it Notes out of
the ofce supply closet, District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said
in announcing the case.
Prosecutors allege the 38-year-old Rodriguez, who pleaded not
guilty this month, ordered more than $376,000 in excess toner
from two vendors over a two-year period. He would sell the car-
tridges worth $80 to $259 a piece for as little as $10 out
of the rms back door ... and using the money to party and oth-
erwise nance his lifestyle, according to court papers.
During a sting operation in late December, undercover investi-
gators went to the law rm and delivered a shipment of cartridges
that was marked so it could be tracked. They then watched as
Rodriguez stashed the cartridges away before directing an
unidentied buyer driving a van to pick them up at a loading
dock, the court papers say.

ON HIS GAME: WOODS IN CONTROL AT TORREY PINES >>> PAGE 13
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Sometimes you win with more than
just your legs and your head in a soccer
match. The Serra High School soccer
team proved Saturday afternoon that it
also takes poise.
The Padres were rewarded with a late
goal against Valley Christian High
School en route to a 2-1 win over the
Warriors in West Catholic Athletic
League play. Typical of all WCAL con-
tests, the toughness and grind of the
schedule produce certain lulls in match-
es and on Saturday, Serra was the men-
tally tougher team.
I think my guys are coming around,
said Serra head coach Jeff Panos of his
teams cerebral make up. Weve had a
couple of early-season games where I
think we were undone a bit, particularly
with a goal like we gave up today. But
today, we stayed with it. We talked at
halftime about keeping the pressure on.
The wind played a huge factor. That
was for sure. And I think this is a late
January WCAL game for both teams,
really, really highly contested, both
teams want the points and I really liked
how we were able to bounce back from
the mistake we dont see very often.
Panos is talking about a 50-yard won-
der shot by Valley Christian in the sev-
enth minute that oated through the air
and caught the Serra goalkeeper well off
his line to give the Warriors the early 1-
0 lead. The shot was one of only two
shots Valley Christian got on frame dur-
ing the rst half.
Serra for its part did its best to put
pressure on the wings with Tim Trzeciak
and Lee Vella. They also found offensive
success with Gerald Ingemansson but
had no goal to show for their efforts.
Valley isnt quite as physical as the
other teams we see so I think the ball

MELBOURNE, Australia No shirt
ripping or bare-chested exing this time.
Novak Djokovic completed his work
before midnight, defeating Andy Murray
in four sets for his third consecutive
Australian Open title and fourth overall.
It was also the second time in three
years Djokovic had beaten his longtime
friend in this nal. So the celebration
was muted: a small victory shuffle,
raised arms, a kiss for the trophy. No
grand histrionics, although thats not to
say the moment was lost on him.
Winning it three in a row, its incred-
ible, Djokovic said after his 6-7 (2), 7-6
(3), 6-3, 6-2 victory Sunday night. Its
very thrilling. Im full of joy right now.
Its going to give me a lot of condence
for the rest of the season, thats for sure.
Nine other men had won consecutive
Australian titles in the Open era, but
none three straight years. One of them
was Andre Agassi, who presented
Djokovic with the trophy.
A year ago, Djokovic began his season
with an epic 5-hour, 53-minute ve-set
win over Rafael Nadal at the Australian
Open, the longest Grand Slam nal. He
tore off his shirt to celebrate, the TV
replays repeated constantly at this tour-
nament.
He mimicked that celebration after
coming back to beat Stanislas Wawrinka
in ve hours in a surprisingly tough
fourth-round victory this time.
Since then, hes looked every bit the
No. 1 player. He said he played perfect-
ly in his 89-minute win over fourth-

SANTA CLARA Alex Smith ran off the field at
Candlestick Park two weeks ago to a standing ovation and
cheers from the sellout crowd, not much different from the
reception last January when he took the San Francisco 49ers
oh so close to a Super Bowl.

Super Bowl against Baltimore is hardly how he envisioned it.
This used to be his team. Now, he plays Joe Flacco in prac-

Smith expected to be under center chasing the franchises
sixth championship, not watching strong-armed second-year
pro Colin Kaepernick direct the offense against Ravens star
Ray Lewis and Co.

said it wasnt a little bittersweet, Smith said. Yeah, I want to
be out there. Thats what you work for. Coming into the sea-

movement gets a lot crisper, a lot better
and our strength is our wing play and
then our guy up front, Panos said, refer-
ring to Nick Schnabel. So, if we can
connect those wings and exploit that
space, not only do we do well in attack-
ing, but I think we also take away, they
play a 4-5-1 with that concentrated mid-
dle, and if we keep it away from that
middle, it takes them away from their
offensive rhythm.
With things getting a bit chippy, Serra
earned a free kick late in the rst half to
the left of the penalty box some 20 yards
away.
Up stepped Robert Peardon, who sur-
veyed the box and decided to strike the
ball to Valley Christians far post. The
Warrior goalkeeper didnt even move
and Peardon equalized at the 39-minute
mark.
I was looking to score on that,
Peardon said. When its closer to the
box, I look to take it, have a shot, get it
on goal.
Hes been doing that for us all sea-
son, Panos said of his captain, kind of
leading the way and standing there when
the pressure is on. That was our fth
restart in a two-minute span, so to nal-
ly get the reward I think is good.
The second half was frantic to say the
least. Valley Christian controlled the ini-
tial stages, forcing Serra into a couple of
miraculous saves on balls just inches
from crossing the goal line.
But the Padres weathered the Warrior
storm and their continued persistence on
the wings with Trzeciak, Antoine Martel
and Ingemansson nally paid off late.
With 11 and change to go,
Ingemanssons hustle up the right side
netted him a shot on net that was saved
by the Valley Christian keeper. But in
text book fashion, Schnabel continued
his run and pounced on the rebound,
poking it into the VC net to give Serra
the lead.
Just coming out strong and getting
the goal helped us get some motivation,
Peardon said when asked what the dif-
ference in Saturdays game was.
Coming out the second half, we didnt
do too good but we found it, got that
though ball and got that cross into
Gerald. It gave us condence and we n-
ished strong.
As theyre kind of playing the count-
er attack and had the wind in their favor,
to get a goal like we did, against the run
of play, showed poise on our part,
Panos said. So I was very proud.
The win is the 10th on the year for the
Padres, making them eligible for the
Central Coast Section playoffs later this
year.

seeded David Ferrer in the seminals
Thursday night. Murray struggled to
beat 17-time major winner Roger
Federer in ve sets in the seminals
Friday night, and still had the bad blis-
ters on his feet to show for it in the nal.
In a nal that had the makings of a
classic when two of the best returners in
tennis were unable to get a break of
serve in the rst two sets that lasted 2:13,
the difference may have hinged on
something as light as a feather.
Preparing for a second serve at 2-2 in
the second set tiebreaker, Murray was
rocking back about to toss the ball when
he stopped, paused and then walked onto
the court and tried to grab a small white
feather that was oating in his view. He
went back to the baseline, bounced the
ball another eight times and served too
long.
After being called for a double-fault,
Murray knocked the ball away in anger
and ung his arm down. He didnt get
close for the rest of the tiebreaker and
was the rst to drop serve in the match
in the eighth game of the third set.
Djokovic broke him twice in the fourth
set, which by then had turned into an
easy march to victory.
It was strange, said Djokovic,
adding that it swung the momentum his
way. It obviously did. ... He made a cru-
cial double-fault.
Murray didnt blame his loss on the
one distraction.
I mean, I could have served. It just
caught my eye before I served. I thought
it was a good idea to move it, he said.
Maybe it wasnt because I obviously
double-faulted.
You know, at this level it can come
down to just a few points here or there.
My biggest chance was at the beginning
of the second set didnt quite get it.
When Novak had his chance at the end
of the third, he got his.
Djokovic had ve break-point chances
in the opening set, including four after
having Murray at 0-40 in the seventh
game, but wasnt able to convert any of
them.
Then he surrendered the tiebreaker
with six unforced errors. Murray
appeared to be the stronger of the two at
the time. Hed beaten Djokovic in their
last Grand Slam encounter, the U.S.
Open nal, and had the Serb so off bal-
ance at times in the rst set that he
slipped to the court and took skin off his
knee.
Murray held serve to open the second
set and had three break points at 0-40 in
the second game, but Djokovic dug him-
self out of trouble and held.
After that I felt just mentally a little
bit lighter and more condent on the
court than Ive done in the rst hour or
so, Djokovic said. I was serving better
against him today in the rst two sets
than Ive done in any of the match in the
last two years.
Djokovic said he loves playing at Rod
Laver Arena, where he won his rst
major title in 2008. He now has six
Grand Slam titles altogether. Federer has
won four of his 17 majors at Melbourne
Park, and Agassi is the only other player
to have won that many in Australia since
1968.
Djokovic was just nding his way at
the top level when Agassi retired in
2006, but he had watched enough of the
eight-time major winner to appreciate
his impact.
Hes I think one of the players that
changed the game not just the game
itself, but also the way the people see it,
Djokovic said. So it was obviously a
big pleasure and honor for me to receive
the trophy from him.
Agassi was among the VIPs in the
crowd, along with actor Kevin Spacey
and Victoria Azarenka, who won the
womens nal in three sets against Li Na
the previous night.
Murray broke the 76-year drought for
British men at the majors when he won
the U.S. Open last year and said hell
leave Melbourne slightly more upbeat
than he has after defeats here in previous
years.
The last few months have been the
best tennis of my life. I mean, I made
Wimbledon nal, won the Olympics,
won the U.S. Open. You know, I was
close here as well, he said. No ones
ever won a slam (immediately) after
winning their rst one. Its not the easi-
est thing to do. And I got extremely
close.
So, you know, I have to try and look
at the positives of the last few months,
and I think Im going the right direc-
tion.

Harbaugh parents
could become Super Bowl TV stars
NEW YORK Jack and Jackie Harbaugh would do well
to practice their impassive faces in front of a mirror before
the Super Bowl.
The parents of Baltimore Ravens coach John and the San
Francisco 49ers Jim Harbaugh will be watched closely dur-
ing Sundays Super Bowl if anybody finds them for
any visual evidence that mommy and daddy really do love
one boy or the other best.
It promises to be a fascinating sidebar to CBS coverage of
the game because, as Lynn and Rick Raisman can attest, par-
ent cams are valuable in sports coverage. NBCs clip of the
Raismans watching daughter Aly perform on the uneven bars
during last summers Olympics in London went viral, with
stage parents everywhere relating to their murmurs and facial
contortions.
I had no idea it was going to be so great, said David
Michaels, senior producer at NBC Sports, who often pro-
duces and directs coverage of gymnastics and figure skating,
events where parental involvement can be particularly
intense.
Michaels makes it a point to know where parents are sitting
during competitions, tracking them through spotters or some-
times sports governing bodies that know where parent seats
have been assigned. Or where they are not sitting: Sometimes
a dad who retreats to a concession stand because he cant
bear to watch an offspring compete is a good story, too.
Team flag waves as 49ers arrive
NEW ORLEANS With a team flag waving from an
open window of their chartered plane, the San Francisco
49ers arrived at their first Super Bowl in 18 years on Sunday.
The players walked off the airplane in a businesslike man-
ner no video recorders or cameras, no waves to onlookers.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, wearing a red wool cap
sporting 49ers on it, mouthed the words to a song on his
head phones as he calmly walked on the tarmac.
Most of the teams veteran players disembarked first,
including center Jonathan Goodwin, who won a Super Bowl
three years ago with the Saints.
The 49ers will play Baltimore next Sunday, seeking their
sixth Super Bowl crown but first since the 1994 season. The
Ravens arrive Monday.
Snowmobiler has

ASPEN, Colo. Snowmobile rider Caleb Moore has had
a secondary complication involving his brain after a crash
at the Winter X Games led to bleeding around his heart.
The Moore family released a statement Sunday, but pro-
vided no further details, only the rider continues to be mon-
itored in ICU.
The 25-year-old was performing a flip Thursday when he
clipped the top of a jump. He went over the handlebars and
the heavy sled rolled over him. He walked off the course with
help and transported to a hospital with a concussion.
While there, he developed bleeding around his heart and
was flown to Grand Junction for surgery Friday.
His younger brother, Colten, also crashed in the competi-
tion and was taken to the hospital with a separated pelvis.

BOSTON Boston Celtics star
point guard Rajon Rondo will miss
the rest of the season with a torn
anterior cruciate ligament in his
right knee.
The news came during Bostons
100-98 double-overtime win over
the Miami Heat on Sunday in which
Ray Allen
returned to his
old home court
for the first
time.
New guys
are going to get
an opportunity
now, Boston
forward Paul
Pierce said.
These guys havent had a chance to
really showcase what they can do.
For the past ve seasons, Pierce,
Allen and Kevin Garnett made up
the Big Three. After Allen signed
with the Heat as a free agent in the
offseason, Rondo joined that group
and became the team leader with
his ability to run the offense.
He was chosen as the starting
point guard for the Eastern
Conference in the All-Star game in
Houston on Feb. 17.
Now the Celtics hope he can be
ready for the start of next season.
How far is that? coach Doc
Rivers said, I dont even know how
long that is. Eight months? Nine
months? So hell probably be ready,
but I dont know.
Rondo injured his right knee in
Friday nights 123-112 double-
overtime loss in Atlanta, a game in
which the Celtics blew a 27-point
lead, but Rivers said he didnt know
when.
He reported to the TD Garden on
Sunday for a pregame shootaround
but was taken to a hospital after
complaining of pain.
The initial report was a hyperex-
tended knee, but tests showed the
ACL tear.

Due to the fog that wiped out an
entire day of golf, the Farmers
Insurance Open was never going to
end on Sunday.
Tiger Woods just made it look as if
it was over.
Hands thrust in the pockets of his
rain pants, Woods walked off Torrey
Pines in the chill of twilight with a
six-shot lead and only 11 more holes
standing in the way of winning on the
public course along the Pacic Ocean
for the eighth time in his pro career.
He drove the ball with superb con-
trol in the third round on his way to a
3-under 69 to build a four-shot lead
after three rounds. He lost control
with his driver in the fourth round and
still managed three birdies in seven
holes.
All we can do tomorrow is go out
and try to make him think about it a
little bit and see what happens, said
Nick Watney, one of two former win-
ners at Torrey Pines who faced the
tough task of trying to make up six
shots on Woods.
The other was defending champion
Brandt Snedeker.
Ive got a guy at the top of the
leaderboard that doesnt like giving
up leads, Snedeker said. So I have
to go catch him.
Woods was at 17-under par for the
tournament and will resume his
round on the par-3 eighth hole. CBS
Sports wants to televise the Monday
nish no surprise with Woods in
the lead so play wont start until 2
p.m. EST.
Snedeker played 13 holes of the
nal round. Watney played eight
holes. Both were at 11-under par.
Woods played 25 holes. He started
with a two-shot lead and tripled it
before darkness suspended the nal
round.
It was a long day ... and I played
well today, Woods said. Overall,
Im very pleased that I was able to
build on my lead.
Thick fog washed out all of
Saturday, forcing players to go from
sunrise to sunset Sunday. They n-
ished the third round, took about 30
minutes for lunch and went right back
onto the golf course.
Woods nished 54 holes at 14-
under 202 and was four shots ahead
of Canadian rookie Brad Fritsch. It
was the 16th time in his PGA Tour
career that Woods had a 54-hole lead
of at least four shots.
If that wasnt enough to make the
outcome look inevitable, everything
was going his way in the nal hour.
His tee shot was so far left on No. 2
that the ball nished in the rst cut of
rough in the sixth fairway. He still
saved par. Woods made a birdie putt
of about 10 feet on No. 3, and then
wound up well right of the cart path
and blocked by a tree on the fourth
hole.

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.

me; that was the goal for me. At the same
time, it is a team sport and these are all my
teammates.
As he has done during each such trying
time in an up-and-down career full of them,
Smith has handled the change with class and
the shared team-first attitude that is a big
reason his club made it this far.
And Smith, the No. 1 pick from the 2005
draft out of Utah, left no doubt that he would
appreciate and relish the rare opportunity
before him.
Absolutely, yes, very much so, Smith
said of enjoying this experience despite the
high-profile, midseason demotion.
Smith acknowledged when he lost the job
to Kaepernick back in November that he had
done nothing wrong but get hurt. Not only
had he completed 26 of his previous 28 pass-
es 18 of 19 for 232 yards and three touch-
downs without an interception and a 157.1
passer rating in a Monday Night Football
win at Arizona on Oct. 29 but Smith
earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week
honors after that victory.
He then sustained a concussion in the sec-
ond quarter of a 24-24 tie against St. Louis
on Nov. 11. He sat out the next game as
Kaepernick dazzled in his debut as an NFL
starter, beating the Bears handily at home on
Monday Night Football.
After that, coach Jim Harbaugh stuck with
the hot hand, as he regularly put it, while
complicating matters by still referring to
Smith as a starter.
The eighth-year quarterback is already
fielding his fair share of questions about
how it feels not being on the field for the
biggest moment in a players career.
If you cant be happy for them, then
somethings wrong with you, Smith said of
his teammates.
Smith revealed last week that he actually
got his shot in college when the starter went
down injured. At Utah in 2003, starter Brett
Elliott broke his wrist on the last play of the
game in the second week of the season.
Smith took over, and Elliott wound up trans-
ferring to Division III Linfield College.
So how could Smith possibly be angry at
Kaepernick?
Itd be pretty hypocritical to be upset
about it, Smith said. Its the nature of
sports. He got an opportunity, stepped up
and made the most of it.
Smith made a few things clear: No, his
confidence isnt shaken, and, no, he hasnt
thought about whats next where he
might end up, or as a starter or a No. 2.
When the 49ers faced Arizona to end the
season, Smith was asked if he looked at his
brief playing time as an audition to be the
Cardinals QB for 2013.
Not with unfinished business this season.
Hes a very classy guy, said Packers QB
Aaron Rodgers, in Smiths draft class.
San Francisco lost to the eventual Super
Bowl champion New York Giants 20-17 in
overtime of the NFC title game last January.
That fueled everybody, the 28-year-old
Smith included.
Smith tossed a perfect 14-yard touchdown
pass to tight end Vernon Davis with 9 sec-
onds remaining as the Niners stunned Drew
Brees and the New Orleans Saints 36-32 in
the divisional playoffs last year.
Smith, once booed by the home crowd as
he struggled to find a groove for an ever-
changing list of offensive coordinators,
finally shined last season and produced a
career year while thriving under the guid-
ance of former NFL quarterback Harbaugh.
It was Smith, unsigned at the time, who
organized San Franciscos summer workouts
at nearby San Jose State during the 2011
lockout. Harbaugh handed over his play-
book, fully trusting that Smith would be
back. He did return on a one-year deal and
guided the 49ers to a 13-3 record to end an
eight-year playoff drought. Then, he
received a three-year contract last spring
after Harbaugh and the 49ers flew to North
Carolina to work out Peyton Manning, who
wound up in Denver.
Smith showed no hard feelings and went
back to work. Heres a guy who threw for
1,737 yards and 13 touchdowns with five
interceptions and posted a 104.1 passer rat-
ing this season.
His family life certainly helps him keep
everything in perspective.
Smith and his wife, Elizabeth, are expect-
ing their second son in mid-March to join
big brother-to-be Hudson, who turns 2 in
May.
Smith has said all the right things and qui-
etly left much unsaid. He has stayed behind
the scenes and out of the spotlight rarely
seen in the locker room, even praising
Kaepernicks clutch decision-making and
cool demeanor all the while.
Alex has been a class act as far as han-
dling everything that is going on, Davis
said. Hes been through a lot. But he also
understands that its the nature of the busi-
ness. And this is a business.
Its not as though it was Smiths first
benching. There were several changes dur-
ing the 2010 season alone.
These days, Smiths backup job is far from
complicated.
For me, its just being worried about
being ready to go, Smith said. Thats my
responsibility, knowing the game plan, stay-
ing in it, staying focused in the meetings.
You dont get the reps that you used to get,
so its a different style of preparation. For
me, I have to take the reps standing back
there watching, and really do it through Kap.
You never know when your opportunitys
going to come. The good ones are ready
when they do come.

Obama: Tough call on
letting a son play football
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama is a big football fan
with two daugh-
ters, but if he
had a son, he
says hed have
to think long
and hard
before letting
him play
because of the
physical toll the
game takes.
I think that those of us who love
the sport are going to have to wres-
tle with the fact that it will probably
change gradually to try to reduce
some of the violence, Obama tells
The New Republic.
In some cases, that may make it a
little bit less exciting, but it will be a
whole lot better for the players, and
those of us who are fans maybe
wont have to examine our con-
sciences quite as much.
In an interview in the magazines
Feb. 11 issue, Obama said he wor-
ries more about college players than
he does about those in the NFL.
The NFL players have a union,
theyre grown men, they can make
some of these decisions on their
own, and most of them are well-
compensated for the violence they
do to their bodies, Obama said.
As gear up for new season
with added expectations
OAKLAND Center fielder
Coco Crisp strutted back into the
Bay Area with puffed-up hair and a
retro-style beard. Red-headed right
elder Josh Reddick slicked back
his locks and added even more inch-
es to his bushy beard. General man-
ager Billy Beane still had his hair
combed clean but picked a terrible
time for a sun spot to be removed
from his nose.
The Oakland Athletics are back,
and with plenty of new looks.
In front of a sellout crowd of more
than 10,000 fans at neighboring
Oracle Arena, players and coaches
returned to Oakland on Sunday to
drum-up support before heading to
spring training in a few weeks.
After an improbable run to the AL
West title last season, attention on
the low-budget club could be quite
different this season.
Sports briefs
By Howard Fendrich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OWINGS MILLS, Md. It
was as if linebacker Ray Lewis,
safety Bernard Pollard and the rest
of the Baltimore Ravens defense
set out to provide a quarter-by-
quarter demonstration of how they
do business.
About 11 minutes into the AFC
championship game against Tom
Brady and the New England
Patriots, Lewis drew a 15-yard
unnecessary roughness penalty for
a helmet-to-helmet hit that pushed
tight end Aaron Hernandezs chin
strap up near his nose.
Then, in the second quarter, line-
backer Dannell Ellerbe gave New
England another free 15 yards by
hitting an offensive lineman in the
face mask in response to an after-
the-play shove.
Fast-forward to early in the
third, and Pollard was flagged for
his teams third personal foul of
the day, thanks to a leaping hit
against the helmet of receiver Wes
Welker. Two plays later, Welker
dropped a third-down pass.
And finally, a couple of minutes
into the fourth, Pollard struck
again. No penalty was called this
time, but his helmet-to-helmet hit
on Stevan Ridley resulted in a
fumble and left the running back
on his back, looking limp and
helpless. Ridley left the game with
a head injury, while the Ravens
recovered the football and were on
their way to next Sundays Super
Bowl against the equally aggres-
sive San Francisco 49ers.
In an age of high-powered
offenses in the NFL this sea-
sons games featured 45.5 points,
the highest average since 1965
and increasingly safety-conscious
officials, a pair of hard-hitting, oft-
penalized defenses are meeting for
the championship. Those second-
half shutouts of the Patriots and
Atlanta Falcons in the conference
title games were only the latest
reminder from the 49ers and
Ravens that defense still matters.
Sometimes it isnt about some
sort of newfangled, complicated
Xs-and-Os defense, either. Its
about players pushing it to the limit
and, sometimes, perhaps beyond
in a league that has been taking
steps to rein in certain kinds of hits.
Being physical? Thats vital,
man. Thats what we live by,
Baltimore cornerback Cary
Williams said. Thats something
that Ray Lewis established here
back in 96, and were going to
continue to do that. Its been, I
guess, in our bloodline. Its in our
DNA. We dont bring in guys thats
timid. We dont bring in guys thats
not going to hit anybody.
What about San Franciscos
defense?
Theyre just as physical as we
are, Williams replied, offering
what in his mind is probably the
highest compliment he could pay
another teams players.
San Francisco defensive lineman
Justin Smith deflected a question
about whether his defense is as
good as Baltimores, replying: I
mean, were just trying to win a
ring.

amount for programs in Santa Clara
County.
Safety net organizations are still see-
ing high demand for food and shelter
services and the needs that were exposed
during the recession have not gone
away, said Rebecca Salner, vice presi-
dent of marketing and communications
for the Silicon Valley Community
Foundation.
In San Mateo County, unemployment
averages 6.2 percent but some communi-
ties see rates as high as 14.9 percent.
The money, which will help but not
replace nonprot funding, will be allo-
cated to organizations helping low-
income and disadvantage children and
adults meet basic food and shelter needs;
help newly vulnerable families and indi-
viduals struggling in the economy; sup-
port agencies serving the county areas
with the greatest needs and aid programs
helping those newly freed from correc-
tional custody.
Groups with existing nancial rela-
tionship with the county or foundation
will be prioritized.
The criteria mimics that used in 2012
for an earlier round of grants. In fact, the
county and foundation have teamed up
twice before.
In 2009, the county and foundation
jointly awarded $750,000 for food and
shelter help and the county also awarded
$250,000 to 32 agencies. The grants
benefited 11,664 county residents
through food, shelter beds and services.
The following year, the foundation
offered $1.3 million for both counties
but San Mateo Countys strapped budget
did not afford it the same opportunity.
In 2012, the county was in a position
to help again and the board approved
$500,000 in matching funds that went to
19 agencies. The money helped 11,664
clients receive 13,684 bags of food,
35,863 meals and 43,005 shelter bed
nights, according to Maltbies summary
to the board.
The foundation expects to put out the
request for proposals in late February,
Salner said.
The projects will come to the board
for nal approval in late spring and the
grants awarded in July 2013.
The $500,000 will come from the gen-
eral fund reserves.
The Board of Supervisors meets 9 a.m.
Tuesday, Jan. 29 in Board Chambers,
400 County Government Center,

is the hardest of the hard, Feinstein
said.
I think I can get it passed because the
American people are very much for it,
Feinstein said of the measure that fol-
lows a similar measure she championed
into law 1994 but expired a decade later.
She acknowledged, however, the
NRAs political clout.
They come after you. They put
together large amounts of money to
defeat you, Feinstein said.
She also said the group was a pawn of
those who make weapons.
The NRA is venal. ... The NRA has
become an institution of gun manufac-
turers, she said.
The NRA disputed her characteriza-
tion.
The NRA is a grass-roots organiza-
tion. We have more than 4 million dues-
paying members and tens of millions of
supporters all across this country. Our
political power comes from them.
Decent and logical people would under-
stand that, spokesman Andrew
Arulanandam said.
The Senate Judiciary Committee plans
to take up the proposal on Wednesday
and hear from the NRAs CEO and sen-
ior vice president, Wayne LaPierre.
Mark Kelly, the husband of former Rep.
Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., who was shot
in an assassination attempt, also plans to
testify.
Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the
GOP vice presidential nominee in 2012,
said Congress should focus on the caus-
es of violence and not the weapons
alone.
We need to look beyond just recy-
cling failed policies of the past. ... Lets
go beyond just this debate and make sure
we get deeper. Whats our policy on
mental illness? Whats going on in our
culture that produces this kind of thing?
You know, we need to have that kind of
a discussion and debate, Ryan said.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., also
urged lawmakers to consider mental
health issues.
When I hear some of this conversa-
tion, I think that were looking at symp-
toms, were not looking at the root caus-
es, she said. And I understand the sen-
ators passion for this, but I got to tell
you, an assault ban is not the answer to
helping keep people safe.

It was such an awesome turnout that
by the end of it we had essentially a pile
of guns, Rosenblatt said.
I would say it was a hugely success-
ful event, she said.
The event, sponsored by San Mateo
County Sheriff Greg Munks, San Mateo
County Supervisor Adrienne Tissier and
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
paid out more than $63,000 in cash in
exchange for the guns, ofcials said.
The success of the gun buyback
exceeded our expectations, Speier, a
Democrat who represents San Mateo
and the surrounding area, said in a state-
ment.
People are moved to get rid of guns
they no longer need or want. Every
weapon turned in is one less life that
might be lost or damaged by a rearm,
whether accidentally or intentionally,
the statement said.
The buyback was scheduled to start at
10 a.m. Saturday, but with cars already
waiting in line for blocks outside the
event center, ofcials opened the gates
early.
Ofcials planned on destroying the
guns collected, unless they had been
used in a crime of if they were stolen,
Rosenblatt said.
If we determine any of the guns were
lost or stolen, we would do our best to
get them back to the rightful owners,
Rosenblatt said.
The San Mateo County buyback
comes after hundreds of guns were
turned over for cash in recent buyback
offers in Marin County, San Francisco
and Oakland.
Earlier this month, a buyback offer in
Marin County was so overwhelmed by
people selling their rearms that ofcials
ran out of money. After collecting 827
guns, the Marin County district attor-
neys ofce doled out $43,000 for the
guns and distributed another $40,000 in
vouchers.
In December, about 600 guns were
turned during over to authorities during
a buyback in San Francisco and
Oakland.

Fire at nightclub
kills 230 in Brazil
By Juliana Barbassa and Morco Sibaja
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA MARIA, Brazil A fast-moving re roared
through a crowded nightclub in southern Brazil early Sunday,
within seconds lling the space with ames and a thick, toxic
smoke that killed more than 230 panicked partygoers who
gasped for breath and fought in a stampede to escape.
It appeared to be the worlds deadliest nightclub re in more
than a decade.
Fireghters responding to the blaze at rst had trouble get-
ting inside the Kiss nightclub because bodies partially blocked
the clubs entryway.
Witnesses said a are or rework lit by band members start-
ed the blaze in Santa Maria, a university city of about 260,000
people. Ofcials at a news conference said the cause was still
under investigation though police inspector Sandro
Meinerz told the Agencia Estado news agency the band was to
blame for a pyrotechnics show and that manslaughter charges
could be led.
Egypt declares state of

CAIRO Egypts president declared a state of emergency
and curfew in three Suez Canal provinces hit hardest by a
weekend wave of unrest that left more than 50 dead, using tac-
tics of the ousted regime to get a grip on discontent over his
Islamist policies and the slow pace of change.
Angry and almost screaming, Mohammed Morsi vowed in a
televised address on Sunday night that he would not hesitate to
take even more action to stem the latest eruption of violence
across much of the country. But at the same time, he sought to
reassure Egyptians that his latest moves would not plunge the
country back into authoritarianism.
There is no going back on freedom, democracy and the
supremacy of the law, he said.

Joseph! A St.
Joseph medal,
that is. I showed
her some stuff
from an old jew-
elry box and she
was fascinated
with the dime-
sized medal I wore as a child and teen, so we let her keep
it with other coins she was treasuring. Obviously, our
mistake, as her curiosity led to popping St. Joe in her
mouth, followed by Mommy mommy, I swallowed
Daddys medal! Thankfully, it was just the medal and
not the chain. So, we did what all parents do when their
kids swallow coins. Theres no pretty way to go about
this, but we, uh, came across St. Joseph a few days later
after his interesting voyage. I wont go into the exact lan-
guage, but the incident and aftermath has become a fami-
ly joke. Our pets, of course, swallow all sorts of things,
and I try to cover holiday hazards and other hazards from

LOS ANGELES Hansel & Gretel:
Witch Hunters cooked up $19 million
in its opening weekend.
Paramounts R-rated action film
update on the classic fairytale topped the
box ofce, according to studio estimates
Sunday. Hansel & Gretel features
Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as
grown-up renditions of the title charac-
ters battling witches with crossbows.
Don Harris, Paramounts president of
distribution, blamed icy weather on the
East Coast for the lms not-so-bewitch-
ing debut.
We got dinged a little bit with the
weather on Friday, but overall were
pleased, said Harris, who added that
Hansel & Gretel performed solidly
internationally, earning $25 million
overseas.
Other lms opening over the weekend
in the U.S. and Canada didnt fare as
well. The crime thriller Parker, star-
ring Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez,
debuted in fth place with $7 million,
while Relativity Medias raunchy
ensemble comedy Movie 43 opened in
the seventh spot with $5 million.
Hollywood.com box-office analyst
Paul Dergarabedian noted that it was the
rst time box-ofce grosses were down
over last year after four up weekends.
Universals supernatural horror lm
Mama starring Jessica Chastain
dropped to second place with $12.8 mil-
lion in its second weekend.
Several best-picture Academy Awards
contenders continued to benet from
Oscar buzz, as well as the motion picture
academys decision to move up this
years nomination announcement, giving
nominees more time in theaters between
the Jan. 10 nominations unveiling and
the Feb. 24 ceremony.
Having an Oscar nomination is like
holding a lottery ticket, said
Dergarabedian. It could pay off on
Oscar night, but its already paying big
dividends now. All this time between
the Oscar nominations and the telecast
is prime time for these movies to capi-
talize on their higher profile.
Silver Linings Playbook, which is
up for eight Academy Awards, came in
third place over the weekend with $10

Bruno Mountain and on the south by
San Bruno Creek (Colma Creek). Much
trafc passed by and to the ranch and
business was good. After crossing the
creek, El Camino Real continued south
until the deep and wide Crystal Springs
Creek was reached in San Bruno.
One of the best known road houses
on the San Francisco Peninsula during
the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s was the
14-Mile House. Know better as Uncle
Toms Cabin, it was established on El
Camino Real at the Crystal Springs
Creek in San Bruno in 1849. The 14-
Mile House was a natural site for a rest
stop for people, horses and later wag-
ons and stagecoaches. The creek here
was wide, deep and treacherous and
presented a hazard to both man and
beast. Developed by Mr. Thorpe, the
roadhouse lasted, after passing through
many owners, for 100 years and was
torn down in 1949.
The next road house was designated
the 16-Mile House and was built at
Center and El Camino Real by the heirs
of the Rancho Buri Buri grantee, Jose
Antonio Sanchez. This establishment
was built in 1872 and lasted until the
early 1970s. When it was razed in 1972,
a business was established on
Broadway in Millbrae using the 16-
Mile House identication, although
much to the dismay of many patrons, it
is not the original 16-Mile House.
Farther south of the 16-Mile House
was built the 17-Mile House at the cor-
ner of Millbrae Avenue and El Camino
Real. No photos or lithographs exist of
this house, but it had a fabulous reputa-
tion for serving oysters taken directly
from the Bay by Morgan Oyster Farm.
The naming of the houses seemed
to have lost its appeal as the next estab-
lishment that could be called a road-
house in the northern stretch of this
road was built next to San Mateo Creek
and named The San Mateo House.
Across the street from the San Mateo
House had been a granary-hospice that
the Mission had built in the late 1800s.
The often treacherous San Mateo Creek
presented a barrier much as Crystal
Springs Creek had in San Bruno and
was very difcult to cross in winter.
The site where Nicholas de Peyster
built the San Mateo House (at the cor-
ner of Second Avenue and El Camino
Real) was a natural for travelers to stop
and refresh themselves before moving
on. This became a stagecoach stop in
the 1850s. Many roadhouses were built
south of this, but they were not desig-
nated as mile houses
In 1858-59, another road was blazed
to San Francisco around the east side
of San Bruno Mountain. This was
called the San Bruno Toll Road and it
shortened the trip to downtown San
Francisco. After passing the east side
of San Bruno Mountain, it went into
Brisbane and then north paralleling the
present Bayshore Highway. The Toll
Road later became San Bruno Avenue
in San Francisco. A 3-Mile House and
a new 7-Mile House were built along
this Toll Road. The 3-Mile House was
approximately at the site of I-
280/Bayshore Highway, and the 7-
Mile House was built at Geneva
Avenue and Bayshore Boulevard. The
7-Mile House was used to collect the
tolls as you traveled south. In San
Bruno, the San Bruno House was built
in 1861 at San Bruno and San Mateo
avenues, but it was not designated a
mile house.

HISTORY
involved, namely me, I dont see any
additional value in putting another one
in the group since what Redwood City
wants is a fresh look, Moura said.
The SBWMA, also known as
RethinkWaste, formed in 1982 and its
members include Atherton, Belmont,
Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Foster City,
Hillsborough, Menlo Park, Redwood
City, San Carlos, San Mateo, San Mateo
County and the West Bay Sanitary
District. It owns the Shoreway
Environmental Center in San Carlos and
is led by an executive director who
reports to a board of directors comprised
of city staff from the various cities.
The SBWMAs budget for scal year
2012 included more than $40 million in
revenue and operating expenses of $36.5
million. The program budget of $3.5
million includes the cost of 7.8 employ-
ees along with other administrative,
recycling diversion program and con-
tract compliance expenses.
Redwood Citys move to evaluate the
agency comes on the heels of repeated
fee hikes and the handling of an ex-
employees retaliation claim against the
executive director after her job was cut.
In deciding to form a task force,
Redwood City Councilwoman Rosanne
Foust used as an example questions over
why the SBWMA did not put the direc-
tor on leave while investigating the mat-
ter.
She and the rest of the council asked
other agencies to consider joining and
name a representative by February.
Joining Redwood City so far are
Belmont, Hillsborough, Burlingame and
the West Bay Sanitary District, said
Redwood City spokesman Malcolm
Smith.
In proposing the task force, City
Manager Bob Bell previously told the
Daily Journal it might also consider a
common suggestion to change the board
to elected ofcials rather than appointed
staff.
If San Carlos decided to participate,
Moura said the city may also want to ask
that other aspects of the operations be
looked at such as the host fee. The city
receives 5 percent of the gate fee rev-
enues of material processed at the
SBWMA transfer station in San Carlos
to offset the wear and tear to streets and
the lands unavailability for a different
economic use like a big-box retail store.
The fee is roughly $1.4 million annu-
ally, Moura said.
But other Bay Area cities like Fremont
that host stations have raised their host
fees, some even double that of San
Carlos, and Moura said doing so on the
Peninsula might be worth consideration
by the task force.
Even if the task force does take shape,
any suggestions by it will not necessari-
ly translate into change. Any amendment
requires a supermajority of at least eight
member agencies to be on board.
The San Carlos City Council will meet
7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 28 at City Hall, 600
Elm St., San Carlos.

GARBAGE
County Superior Court.
The men argued for approximately
seven minutes and Harris said he would
no longer take Geier to the airport, the
suit states.
As the men left to remove Geiers
belongings from Harris car so that he
could instead take a cab, Harris tried
pulling the other mans pants down and
accused him of stealing his underwear,
according to the suit.
Geier unsuccessfully tried pushing
Harris away but the bigger man shook
him violently and punched him in the
arms, the suit states.
Police reports list Harris as 6 feet 7
inches and 240 pounds while Geier is 6
feet 1 inch and 220, Guidotti said.
Geier allegedly hit Harris three times
in the face but Harris seemed only to
grow more agitated and punched him in
the face several times until he fell, the
suit states.
Harris allegedly threw Geiers proper-
ty from the car and left while Geier
hailed a cab and was taken to an emer-
gency room in San Jose.
Geier had surgery to repair broken
orbital bones and required a metal plate
to repair the damage.
Harris was arrested at his home.
Geier threw the rst punch after the
verbal ght escalated but Harris was
charged because the other man ended up
injured, Cintean said.
This really is a pure self-defense
case. He was attacked, Cintean
said.
Cintean said the claims and
subsequent civil matter is an
effort to get money from
Harris.
Were looking forward to
having this proven in court and
clearing his name, Cintean
said.
A filed legal response to
Geiers lawsuit also denies
every claim.
Harris was in fear of his life
and his physical well-being and
was merely acting out of self-
defense because Geier was
attacking him for no apparent
reason, the complaint
response states.
Harris also denies the allega-
tion of falsely imprisoning
Geier, saying he was at no time
prevented or told he could not
leave.
If convicted, Harris faces up
to seven years in prison,
Guidotti said.
He is free from custody on
$75,000 bail.

HARRIS
MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 2013
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You are not likely to
make a good decision if youre forced to do so under
pressure. Dont let yourself be pushed into coming
up with an immediate answer.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Something you
previously failed to attend to properly could demand
your attention. If you dont take care of it once and
for all, it will remain a burr under your saddle.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Being too assertive
can make it diffcult for you to get others to follow
your lead. Respect others abilities, and treat people
as if they have some common sense of their own.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Although you and your
mate might have the same objective, your methods
could confict. If neither of you will compromise,
trouble is likely.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Even though youre
usually a rather easygoing individual, you could have
a chip on your shoulder today. Try not to read too
much into other peoples words or actions.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Its entirely up to you
to protect your interests in both fnancial and social
situations. Unless you look out for yourself, you
could end up being the scapegoat.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- As long as you stick to
your blueprint, things should go rather smoothly. Let
another lead you astray, however, and you can kiss
your careful plans goodbye.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- To be productive,
you must be well organized and methodical. If you
get off on the wrong foot, you might not fnd your
equilibrium.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont let friends get you
involved in something that you dont like doing and
cant afford, to boot. Be selective regarding your
social activities.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- No one is questioning
your capacity to achieve, but you frst need to set
goals that are actually attainable. Be realistic and
practical at all times.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Instead of
making mountains out of molehills, strive to be
pragmatic. Harboring a poor attitude will make life
much more unpleasant than it needs to be.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you need to
negotiate with a tough cookie who has something
you want and knows it, you can win out if you are
courageous and frm in your dealings.

ty Recorder's Office. NOTICE TO PO-
TENTIAL BIDDERS If you are consider-
ing bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks in-
volved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on a
property itself. Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may be a
junior lien. If you are the highest bidder
at the auction, you are or may be respon-
sible for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You
are encouraged to investigate the exis-
tence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's office or
a title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. If you consult either of these re-
sources, you should be aware that the
lender may hold more than one mort-
gage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and, if applicable, the resched-
uled time and date for the sale of this
property, you may call 1-800-281-8219
or visit this Internet Web site www.recon-
trustco.com, using the file number as-
signed to this case 12-0069834. Infor-
mation about postponements that are
very short in duration or that occur close
in time to the scheduled sale may not im-
mediately be reflected in the telephone
information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement in-
formation is to attend the scheduled sale.

The only ofce in California
to have the Non-Surgical
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, exibility, relax-
ation 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.
AHealth Center Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
At Crossroads Health Center, Ive created an entire
facility dedicated to patients with severe disc condi-
tions 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 rehydrate your herniated or degenera-
tive disc(s) by reversing internal pressure and
enabling your disc(s) to heal from the inside out. We
succeed where other treatments have failed by
removing the pressure that is causing pain to your
disc(s) and nerves without drugs, injections, inva-
sive surgery or harmful side effects.
Patient Testimonials
Back Pain & Spasms Are Finally Gone
During the 1 1/2 years of having constant daily lower back pain
and spasms, I took anti-inammatory 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 epidu-
ral 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 Kilinski.
Back Golng At Age 94
I am 94 years old and I was suffering with awful pain due to a
herniated and degenerated disk. I nally came to Crossroads
Health Center and Dr. Ferrigno and staff helped take my pain

I Only Wish I Came To You Sooner
My sincere thanks to all of you at Crossroads Health Center for
restoring me back to good health. When I came to Dr. Ferrigno
with numbness in my hand and arm and severe back pain, you
assured me that there was hope. Not only did you make that
happen, you also gave me back my energy and sense of well
being. Dr. Ferrigno and the entire staff have been warm and
welcoming without fail. I owe you much and thank you doesnt
begin to cover it.
