Water district
embezzlement
probe continues
DA investigation to be completed soon
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Accusations that a former employee of the Mid-Peninsula
Water District embezzled more than $250,000 from the special
tax district more than a year ago are still being investigated,
according to the San Mateo County District Attorneys Ofce.
The district sent the DAs ofce a pile of evidence last March
related to former employee Cathy Remeleh, who allegedly
wrote checks to herself over a lengthy period.
We are hoping that the investigation will be complete with-
in 30 days, Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti
wrote the Daily Journal in an email yesterday.
The district, which mostly serves Belmont, has had exten-
sive audits and has put new controls in place the past year to
make sure a similar incident never happens again, board
President Al Stuebing told the Daily Journal yesterday.
Toddler, 3, falls from
second-story window
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A 3-year-old boy tumbled out of the second-story window of
a San Mateo home Monday evening in what a police sergeant
said was a tragic accident.
The toddler, who was conscious and crying directly after the
incident, was transported to a nearby trauma center. Any fur-
ther information on his condition has not been released.
The incident occurred in the rst block of South Grant Street
in San Mateos North Central neighborhood at 5:10 p.m.
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
More people passed through San
Francisco International Airport in 2012
than any previous year, with an estimat-
ed 44.5 million passengers traveling out
of the Bay Areas busiest airport, a
spokesman said.
Last years all-time record for annual
passenger trafc at SFO was up 8.5 per-
cent from a previous record set in 2011,
when approximately 41 million people
traveled through the airport, acting SFO
spokesman Doug Yakel said.
We believe that a big reason behind
the growth is the competition between
low-cost carriers, Yakel said.
Southwest Airlines, JetBlue Airways,
and Virgin America have all expanded
their operations at SFO during the last
ve years, competing with each other in
the low-cost ticket market and increas-
ing passenger trafc as a result, he said.
In addition to record passenger num-
bers, SFO continued to be a major eco-
nomic driver for the region, generating
an estimated $469 million in state and
local taxes, Yakel said.
More than 29,500 people are
employed as a direct result of operations
at SFO, Yakel said, generating an esti-
mated $1.7 billion in personal income.
Those jobs include flight attendants,
ground crews, concession employees,
car rental employees and service compa-
ny workers.
Hotels, restaurants and transportation
companies also benet from increased
activity at the airport, Yakel said.
Major construction projects, such as a
new state-of-the-art air trafc control
tower that broke ground in May, contin-
ue to bring jobs to the area.
SFO dominated Bay Area air travel
compared to other regional airports at
Oakland and San Jose, Yakel said. SFO

Customers buy hot dogs and mouthwash at the 7-Eleven at 501 N. San Mateo Drive yesterday afternoon.The stores legality
will be decided in court after the San Mateo City Council deemed the land it sits on should revert back to residential under
city code.
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The recently opened 7-Eleven in the
San Mateo Heights neighborhood has
drawn much criticism from area resi-
dents who fought hard to close the store
down but company ofcials intend to
show the store can be a good neighbor
while the courts settle its legality.
To be a good neighbor, store employ-
ees routinely keep the surrounding
streets clear of litter and have made great
strides to reduce noise levels, said com-
pany spokeswoman Margaret Chabris.
7-Eleven will operate the store as if it
will always be there, Chabris said, and
has made great strides to alleviate neigh-
borhood concerns.
The company intends to partner with
ofcials with San Mateo High School
and the citys police department in its
effort to be a good neighbor, she said.
The San Mateo City Council voted
last month that the store was an illegal
extension of a non-conforming use and
that the property needs to be reverted
back to residential.
Last week, the city led a lawsuit to
have the store closed and ofcials with
7-Eleven and the property owner,

Sheep known for
butting vehicles at park dies
LANDER, Wyo. A bighorn sheep
named Bam Bam because of his habit of
butting vehicles at a Wyoming park has
died with his horns, likely of natural
causes.
He was the last survivor of the bighorn
sheep herd in Sinks Canyon State Park
near Lander.
Bam Bam became a local celebrity of
sorts when he began showing up near the
parks main road in 2007 and allowed
people to pet him. He earned the name
Bam Bam because he liked to butt vehi-
cles.
Fearing for the sheeps and visitors
safety, park managers moved Bam Bam
to an enclosed state facility near
Wheatland in 2009.
Sinks Canyon Superintendent Darrel
Trembly says Bam Bam will be mounted
by a taxidermist and put on display in the
parks visitor center.
Stolen giant cookie sculpture

recovered a cookie sculpture that may
have been stolen by someone impersonat-
ing the Cookie Monster.

ter demanding cookies be delivered to
children at a hospital. The paper also
received a picture of someone dressed
like Sesame Streets Cookie Monster
holding what appeared to be the stolen
cookie.
The Bahlsen company promised a
reward of 52,000 packets of cookies for a
charitable cause if their emblem turned
up.
No suspect has been apprehended.

Doug Long didnt find his parks and recre-
ation profession it found him.
The 58-year-old director of San Carlos
department was actually interested in ani-
mals and got his first job sweeping up after
a dog obedience class because, as a junior in
high school, he didnt want to move to Utah
with his mom.
From there, he filled in for a sick recre-
ation leader on the playground, was asked to
run the sports league and just started saying
yes, yes, yes, to everything.
I was getting all this experience to build
a resume and didnt even know it, Long
said.
After a brief detour to a year in law school
and some dabbling in radio and column writ-
ing, Long returned to parks and recreation in
Danville, Vallejo, Fairfax and San Anselmo.
He started in San Carlos in 2009 but that run
ends Friday, Feb. 8 when he retires.
So much has happened. Its been a short
four years but a long road, he said.
Long, whose bald head has led to more
than one Bruce Willis comparison, certainly
wasnt lacking in action in San Carlos.
During his tenure, hes wrestled with sub-
stantial budget cuts, lingering questions and
legal battles over synthetic turf on athletic
fields and service consolidations. In 2010,
Long was charged with delivering the omi-
nous warning that proposed cuts to his
department would knock staffing levels back
to 1964 levels, shut down up to four parks,
stop mowing lawns and cleaning up graffiti
and end traditions like holiday tree lighting.
But three years later, Longs messages were
on the opposite end of the spectrum as he
adjusted to running a department with a sur-
plus, the city became the first municipality
to use an organic coconut-based synthetic
turf and San Carlos took over parks and
recreation administration
for the city of Half Moon
Bay.
It was a complete par-
adigm shift for me
because every agency Ive
gone to Ive been the
change agent. I became
known for being able to
downsize without cutting
services to the bone but
now weve got a couple of bucks so the next
person who comes along will really have an
opportunity to improve, he said.
Oh, and those Bruce Willis parallels?
Now, he is more commonly compared to
the subject of Pawn Stars much to the cha-
grin of his wife, he joked.
But reality and action stars aside, Long
does have an entertainment streak although
he said the television show Parks and
Recreation killed the publics perception of
what his day job is really like.
Part of the Richmond natives plan for
retirement includes a return to voice over
work. He has previous experience for
Albertsons grocery stores in Texas and
Idaho, he said, and thinks hed enjoy anoth-
er go. He is also looking forward to spend-
ing more time with his wife, five kids rang-
ing from 19 to 37 and five grandchildren
although intellectual pursuits and dabbling
in the arts are also high on his to-do list.
After renting a house in San Carlos the
past four years, Long said its time to return
full time to the family home in Benicia. That
doesnt make the decision to leave easy,
though, he said.
This is a very coveted position and a
great community. Im really, really fortunate
to end my career here in such a great envi-
ronment with a great group of employees,
Long said.
Speaking of employees, several attended
the last City Council meeting at which Long
was honored. They gave Long a standing
ovation as he accepted recognition for his
retirement and at least one was heard yelling
out, Theres still time to change your
mind.
Even so, the city is moving quickly on fill-
ing Longs shoes. A wide recruitment net
was cast nationwide and City Manager Jeff
Maltbie hopes to have an offer made to a
candidate by the end of February with a start
date soon after in March. Maltbie and the
Public Works Department are pitching in for
Longs duties in the meantime but the short
turnaround leaves no need for an interim
director, Maltbie said.
Long said he is most proud of the citys
downtown events like the tree lighting and
annual Goblin Walk. The first year, he esti-
mated 200 people might show up and didnt
even close the streets. Instead, when thou-
sands arrived, Long said he knew hed made
a successful choice.
Long was also proud to see the city
respond to the overall economic meltdown
and the failure of the Measure U tax measure
by outsourcing and out-of-the-box thinking.
This is a really, really progressive town
and its fun because you could think of
something and its not just lip service. Here,
there is really action, he said.

Increasing capacity and changing intra-dis-
trict transfer rules are recommendations San
Mateo Union High School District ofcials
will discuss during a special meeting tonight
focused on growing enrollment.
Enrollment throughout the district is pro-
jected to grow to 9,804 by the year 2022 an
increase of more than 1,400 students than cur-
rent numbers. That growth isnt happening
throughout the district but is instead concen-
trated in the southern part. Given the districts
current space, the real challenge would start
in 2018.
Superintendent Scott Laurence said the dis-
trict is trying to plan ahead. But hes also sug-
gesting the plans be revisited in four years to
be sure the growth projections are becoming a
reality.
Board President Peter Hanley agreed,
adding the meeting will allow for planning
both in the short and long term. The chal-
lenge, he explained, is trying to balance the
needs of the unequally growing pockets in the
district population while maintaining similar
programs for all.
Tonight, the board will consider two recom-
mendations: adding space at all schools and
changing the intra-district transfer policy. In
terms of growth, district staff is suggesting
increasing capacity at each school by 25 stu-
dents annually over the coming four years. This
could be challenging at Hillsdale High School
which operates three houses, or semi-
autonomous smaller learning communities. In
this system, students often end up with teachers
in core classes for two years. Another option
would be to add an additional house, or 350 stu-
dents, to Hillsdale. If the board supported the
idea, plans for such a change would need to start
soon as it would require building approval from
the state and other work, said Laurence. Should
the district decide to build, the board would
need to revisit the plan for using voter-approved
money from Measure O, a $186 million bond
measure passed in November 2010.
Boundary changes arent part of the enroll-
ment conversation but requests for students to
change schools within the district are.
Over the last two years, the district received
949 requests to change schools and granted
526. Of the requests, most students were look-
ing to attend in order of most requests
Aragon, Burlingame, Hillsdale or Mills high
schools. Requests for Capuchino and San
Mateo high schools were both under 60 for the
two years. As a result, most students requesting
to attend those two schools were approved,
according to district records. Starting next
year, the district is considering changing how
this process would work.
Under the proposal, the district would create
a list of intra-district transfer requests once the
open enrollment period ends. Then, a lottery
would be held, based on the number of seats
available. Families will be made aware of their
place in the lottery. Once schools are at capac-
ity, intra-district transfers would only be
allowed when there is an equal trade between
two schools creating a zero impact on both,
according to the recommendation.
The board meets 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7
at the Adult School, 789 E. Poplar Ave., San
Mateo.

the San Mateo County Health
System.
In that 10-year period, 138 chil-
dren have been enrolled the whole
time. Claudia Galvans daughter,
who is now a healthy 18-year-old
planning to soon be the rst in her
family to attend college, is one of
those children.
Galvan said, like Williams, her
daughter needed glasses. The family
was able to help get her that support
as well as get checkups and take
advantage of preventative health care
options as a result of the county pro-
gram.
Im so grateful, Galvan said.
Founders Toby J. Douglas,
Californias Health Care Services
director, and Margaret Taylor, former
director of the San Mateo County
Health Department, were on hand to
discuss the goal of giving all children
access to health care. Taylor attrib-
uted the success of the program
locally to partnering with the schools
and targeting communities they
knew served populations that could
benet from such services. Douglas
said the initial idea was to provide
such options for children throughout
the state, which has yet to happen.
However, the work in San Mateo
County, he said, helped in creating
the federal Affordable Health Care
Act which will give more options for
people throughout the state in 2014.
Similar programs throughout the
state either have wait lists or closed
due to a lack of funding. San Mateo
County, on the other hand, used a
collection of funders and partners
First Five San Mateo County,
Sequoia Healthcare District,
Peninsula Health Care District and
San Mateo County to sustain the
program, said Rob Robinson of the
Health Plan of San Mateo. As a
result, 95 percent of children in San
Mateo County have health insurance,
he said.
Looking forward, the challenge
will be to spread the word about the
changes coming in health care pro-
grams and how that can continue to
help local families, said Jean Fraser,
San Mateo County Health System
chief.

Nanny in court for
95 forged checks
A Redwood City woman accused
of forging checks from the family
which employed her as a nanny and
housekeeper is being held on
$950,000 bail $10,000 for each
of the 95 checks prosecutors say she
falsied over a four-year span.
Sandy Kelly Delgado, 28,
appeared in court for her initial
arraignment on six felonies includ-
ing grand theft and forgery but
delayed a plea until Feb. 14.
Commissioner Kathleen McKenna
set Delgados bail at $950,000 and
she remains in custody.
Prosecutors say Delgado forged
95 checks totaling $45,265 between
2009 and mid-January 2013 when
her North Fair
Oaks employer
discovered a
$600 check she
had not author-
ized. A review
of her bank
records turned
up 32 forged
checks and the
alleged victim
contacted the Sheriffs Office,
according to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
Delgados employer, at the
request of detectives, reportedly
confronted her in a secretly record-
ed meeting and the woman admitted
the crimes, saying she needed
money for the necessities of life,
prosecutors said.
Further review of bank records
resulted in 63 more forged checks
being discovered.
Sheriffs deputies arrested
Delgado over the weekend on suspi-
cion of 95 crimes but prosecutors
filed charges only on the lesser
amount. More could be added later.
The investigation is going on
extensively, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
Former cop sentenced
for embezzlement
The former Half Moon Bay
police ofcer accused of stealing
$5,700 from the Police Officers
Association was sentenced yester-
day to 45 days in jail for misde-
meanor embezzlement.
Askia Mohammed Johnson, 40,
faced up to 90 days after accepting a
plea deal on a single felony but
Judge Mark Forcum yesterday
reduced the charge to a misde-
meanor because the former ofcer
paid restitution. Johnson must sur-
render to the county jail April 6 and,
after serving the time, will spend
two years on supervised probation.
Johnson originally faced trial for
allegedly making 36 separate with-
drawals from the POA account
between 2008 and 2010 while serv-
ing as its head. Instead, Johnson
will receive the three-month term
when formally sentenced Feb. 6.
Johnson, who previous pleaded
not guilty to all charges, has said
publicly the money was a loan sim-
ilar to those taken by other ofcers
while he was
president of the
POA.
Last year,
Johnsons for-
mer defense
attorney ques-
tioned the for-
mer officers
ability to aid in
his own
defense. Johnson actually objected
to the attorneys request for mental
evaluations but a judge opted to halt
criminal proceedings until the mat-
ter was resolved. Once court-
appointed doctors deemed Johnson
competent, proceedings were rein-
stated and Johnson replaced his
attorney.
Johnson is free from custody on
his own recognizance.

WASHINGTON Florida Sen. Marco
Rubio will give the Republican rebuttal to
President Barack Obamas State of the Union
address on Tuesday, providing a direct mes-
sage to a growing Hispanic electorate that
shunned the GOP in last years election.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell,
R-Ky., announced the selection of Rubio on
Wednesday, calling him a strong advocate of
conservative principles.
Rubio will speak after Obamas prime-time
address before Congress, offering a counter-
weight to the presidents agenda. The high-
prole speech gives Rubio a broad national
audience for a party that lacks a true standard-
bearer after Obamas re-election.
Boehner called Rubio one of our partys
most dynamic and inspiring leaders. He car-
ries our partys banner of freedom, opportuni-
ty and prosperity in a way few others can.
McConnell said his Senate colleague would
contrast the Republican approach to the chal-
lenges we face with President Obamas vision
of an ever-bigger government and the higher
taxes that would be needed to pay for it.
The 41-year-old Cuban-American lawmaker
was given a prominent speaking role at last
years Republican National Convention and
traveled extensively on behalf of Republican
presidential candidate Mitt Romney. He has
been touted as a potential presidential candidate
in 2016 for a party that fared poorly among
Latino voters last year. In a signal of renewed
outreach to Hispanic voters, Rubios address
will be delivered in both English and Spanish.
Rubio has played a leading role among
Republicans in seeking changes on immigra-
tion, one of the top legislative priorities of the
year for both parties. He has been part of a
bipartisan group of senators who have pro-
posed a plan that would allow illegal immi-
grants to pursue citizenship after a number of
steps are taken to secure the border with
Mexico. The issue is expected to be among
the most highly-watched measures in
Congress this year.
On the economy, Rubio has said tax
increases will not bring down the nations $16
trillion debt and urged policies to promote
economic growth and changes to entitlement
programs.
Rubio said he would discuss how limited
government and free enterprise have helped
make my familys dreams come true in
America. He said the speech would help lay
out the Republican case of how our ideas can
help people close the gap between their
dreams and the opportunities to realize them.
Rubio, a former state house speaker from
Miami, became a popular gure among tea
party activists during his improbable rise dur-
ing his 2010 Senate campaign. He defeated
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who switched to
run as an independent when it became clear
he would lose the Republican primary to
Rubio.

WASHINGTON A Senate hearing on
John Brennans nomination to head the CIA
could lay bare some parts of the secret war
against al-Qaida: lethal drone strikes from
covert bases against even American terror sus-
pects, harsh interrogation methods and long
detention of suspects without due process.
Some of the practices produced revulsion
among some in Congress
and the public, but the out-
cry has been muted
because Brennan and oth-
ers say that these harsh and
secretive methods have
saved American lives.
Those issues will be
front and center in the
Senate Intelligence
Committee hearing
Thursday for Brennan a chance for him to
answer criticism that he backed the detention
and interrogation policy while he served at the
CIA under President George W. Bush, charges
that stymied his rst attempt to head the intel-
ligence agency in 2008.
In answers to questions from the Senate
Intelligence Committee before the hearing,
Brennan said he was aware of the program but
did not play a role in its creation, execution, or
oversight, and added that he had signicant
concerns and personal objections to the inter-
rogation techniques.
He wrote that he voiced those objections to
colleagues at the agency privately.
Brennan also described how individuals are
targeted for drone strikes, saying whether a
suspect is deemed an imminent threat and
therefore appropriate for targeting is made
on a case-by-case basis through a coordinated
interagency process involving intelligence,
military, diplomatic and other agencies.

Obama picks outdoor retail exec to lead Interior
WASHINGTON President Barack Obamas choice for
interior secretary is a lifelong outdoors enthusiast who likes to
bike, ski and climb mountains.
As president and chief executive at
Recreational Equipment Inc., Sally Jewell
has applied her passion to her job, helping
push REI to nearly $2 billion in annual
revenues and a place on Fortune
Magazines list of Best Places to Work.
Now Obama hopes to take advantage of
Jewells love for the outdoors and her busi-
ness sense as she takes over at Interior, the
federal department responsible for nation-
al parks and other public lands.
In announcing the nomination, Obama said Jewell has
earned national recognition for her environmental stewardship
at REI, which sells clothing and gear for outdoor enthusiasts.
He also noted her experience as an engineer in oil elds and
her fondness for mountain climbing.
The toughest part of Jewells new job will probably be sit-
ting behind a desk, Obama said.
U.S. to cut carrier fleet in Persian Gulf to one
WASHINGTON The Pentagon is cutting its aircraft car-
rier presence in the Persian Gulf region from two carriers to
one, the Defense Department said Wednesday, in a move that
represents one of the most signicant effects of budget cuts on
the U.S. military presence overseas. The decision comes as
Washington struggles to nd a way to avoid sharp automatic
spending cuts set to strike the Pentagon and domestic pro-
grams next month.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has approved keeping just
one carrier in the Persian Gulf region. The U.S. has maintained
two aircraft carrier groups in the Gulf for most of the last two
years.
Panetta has been leading a campaign to replace the automat-
ic cuts he warns would hollow out the military, and the
Pentagon has been providing greater details on the cuts it
would have to make if Congress fails to both replace them and
agree on a 2013 defense budget bill. The carrier decision is one
of the most signicant announcements made thus far.
Boy Scouts delay decision on policy excluding gays
IRVING, Texas Caught in an ideological crossre, the
Boy Scouts of America is putting off a decision on whether to
ease its policy of excluding gays. Whatever the organization
eventually does, its likely to anger major constituencies and
worsen schisms within Scouting.
The delay, which the Scouts attributed to the complexity of
this issue, was announced Wednesday after closed-door delib-
erations by the BSAs national executive board. Under consid-
eration was a proposal to ease the longstanding ban on gays by
allowing sponsors of local troops to decide for themselves on
the membership of gay Scouts and adult leaders.

WASHINGTON Saturday mail
may soon go the way of the Pony
Express and penny postcards. The Postal
Service said Wednesday that it plans to
cut back to ve-day-a-week deliveries
for everything except packages to stem
its nancial losses in a world radically
re-ordered by the Internet.
Our nancial condition is urgent,
declared Postmaster General Patrick R.
Donahoe. But Congress has voted in the
past to bar the idea of eliminating
Saturday delivery, and his announce-
ment immediately drew protests from
some lawmakers. The plan, which is to
take effect in August, also brought vig-
orous objections from farmers, the letter
carriers union and others.
The Postal Service, which suffered a
$15.9 billion loss in the past budget year,
said it expected to save $2 billion annu-
ally with the Saturday cutback. Mail
such as letters and magazines would be
affected. Delivery of packages of all
sizes would continue six days a week.
The plan accentuates one of the
agencys strong points: Package delivery
has increased by 14 percent since 2010,
ofcials say, while the delivery of letters
and other mail has plummeted. Email
has decreased the mailing of paper let-
ters, but online purchases have increased
package shipping, forcing the Postal
Service to adjust to customers new
habits.
Things change, Donahoe said.
James Valentine, an antiques shop
owner in Toledo, wasnt too concerned
about the news.
The mail isnt that important to me
anymore. I dont sit around waiting for
it to come. Its a sign of the times, he
said, adding, Its not like anyone writes
letters anymore.
In fact, the Postal Service has had to
adapt to changing times ever since
Benjamin Franklin was appointed the
first postmaster general by the
Continental Congress in 1775. The Pony
Express began in 1860, six-day delivery
started in 1863, and airmail became the
mode in 1918. Twice-a-day delivery was
cut to one in 1950 to save money.
But change is not the biggest factor in
the agencys predicament Congress
is. The majority of the services red ink
comes from a 2006 law forcing it to pay
about $5.5 billion a year into future
retiree health benefits, something no
other agency does. Without that pay-
ment $11.1 billion in a two-year
installment last year and related
labor expenses, the mail agency sus-
tained an operating loss of $2.4 billion
for the past scal year, lower than the
previous year.

SAN FRANCISCO Netix wont
miss Saturday mail delivery, even though
the weekend service helped keep its
DVD-by-mail subscribers happy.
The U.S. Postal Services planned shift
to ve days of home delivery a week
instead of six may even make Netix Inc.
slightly more protable by lowering the
costs for sending out its familiar red
envelopes with DVDs. Thats because
subscribers may be able to watch fewer
DVDs for the same monthly price.
For Netix customers, DVDs that used
to arrive on Saturday would come on
Monday instead, delaying when they
could watch a movie and send it back for
the next one. Those who want to make
sure they have a DVD to watch on the
weekend might have to mail the discs
back to Netix a day earlier to ensure that
they receive it on Friday.
However, analysts believe few cus-
tomers are likely to mind. Most Netix
subscribers no longer get DVDs anyway,
and those who do often let their discs sit
on shelves for days or weeks, so the extra
waiting time wont hurt that much.
Complaints are more likely to come from
subscribers who try to watch as many
DVDS as possible each month an
unprotable audience for Netix anyway.
Investors reacted positively to
Wednesdays announcement that the U.S.
Postal Service intends to stop Saturday
home delivery beginning Aug. 10.
Netixs stock gained $10.02, or nearly 6
percent, to close Wednesday at $184.41.
Earlier in the session, the stock hit a new
16-month high of $185.14.

WASHINGTON After two
tumultuous years of budget
brinkmanship, President Barack
Obama and Republicans in Congress
nally agree on something name-
ly, that a previous 10-year pact to cut
$1 trillion across the board was such
a bad idea it must be stopped before
it starts.
If consensus counts as good news
in an era of divided government, con-
sider this: They also disagree vehe-
mently on a suitable replacement.
As a result, they seem likely to
spend the spring and perhaps a good
part of the summer struggling to
escape a bind of their own making.
This time, Medicare and the rest of
the governments benet programs
are likely to face changes.
Already, the two sides are laying
down markers.
Obama on Tuesday called on
Congress to join him in developing a
replacement for the across-the-board
reductions, a balanced mix of
spending cuts and more tax reform.
We cant just cut our way to pros-
perity, he told reporters at the White
House.
Senate Republican leader Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky had a differ-
ent view. If Democrats have ideas
for smarter cuts, they should bring
them up for debate, he said, noting
that the GOP-controlled House
already has produced an alternative.
But the American people will not
support more tax hikes in place of the
meaningful spending reductions both
parties already agreed to and the
president signed into law,
McConnell said, a reference to legis-
lation earlier this year that raised
taxes at upper incomes by $600 bil-
lion.
Majority Republicans in the House
welcome the debate after calculating
that their leverage with Obama
would increase once he asked law-
makers for repeal of the across-the-
board cuts.
Weve passed a bill twice to
replace them, House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday.
Its time for the president and
Senate Democrats to do their job
without higher taxes, he added.
In fact, the across-the-board reduc-
tions themselves were born almost of
desperation, designed to be so
unpalatable that they would force
members of a 2011 congressional
supercommittee to agree on a
sweeping anti-decit plan rather than
let them take effect.
The panel deadlocked. The cuts
have been delayed by two months
but are set to kick in on March 1,
with $483 billion cut from defense
over a decade and roughly the same
out of a variety of domestic pro-
grams. Medicare, Medicaid and
Social Security benefits are
untouched.
The cuts known in Washington-
speak as a sequester have not
gotten any more popular in the inter-
vening months.
President Obama proposed the
sequester, insisted the sequester
become law and then doubled down
on keeping the sequester in place,
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of
Washington asserted Tuesday. She
was one of numerous Republicans to
do so.
Few if any political leaders care to
defend the automatic cuts, and the
nonpartisan Congressional Budget
Ofce said Tuesday they would slow
economic growth if they take effect.
The nations top uniformed of-
cials warned lawmakers recently of
dire consequences from even one
years allotment of cuts planned for
the Pentagon. We will have to
ground aircraft, return ships to port
and stop driving combat vehicles in
training, members of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff wrote to Congress.
A group of liberal House
Democrats wants to replace across-
the-board cuts with nearly $1 trillion
in higher taxes over a decade, at the
same time calling for changes to ear-
lier decit deals they opposed. The
effect would be a fair, balanced
approach that protects working fami-
lies, they said.

7-Eleven
Editor,
To quote Richard Belzer, H-e-l-l-o,
is anybody listening? This 7-Eleven
asco could have been avoided if the
owners or the Planning Commission
requisitioned a second story to the
retail market (City sues to close down
mini-mart in the Feb. 2 edition of the
Daily Journal).
A medical-dental ofce may have
been acceptable as well as a condo
unit. In this way, the property would
have met the requisites of operating in
a residential zone. There is a related
precedent for this: witness the Planning
Commission working with Draper
University to establish retail space at
street level while maintaining universi-
ty facilities on the upper oors at one
of its locations. Even a neighborhood
day care on the second oor above the
7-Eleven might be acceptable and prob-
ably welcomed (all safeguards in place,
of course). Now, its not too late to do
this. Building a second story would be
a lot less expensive than either going
out of business or a lawsuit costing the
owners and the city unnecessary
expenses.

7-Eleven should

Editor,
We are not part of the discussions,
nor want to be, but the following might
be acceptable to 50 percent or more of
the people in the city of San Mateo and
could save a family matter between
the City Council and city staff from
further embarrassing publicity.
Go back to what made 7-Eleven suc-
cessful. Open at 7 a.m., close at 11
p.m. Considering that convenience food
sells in great volume between 9 p.m.
and 10 p.m. (convenience store fran-
chises know this), that should work for
the benet of all.

C
alifornia consumers shouldnt
have to reveal any more per-
sonal information than
absolutely necessary, whether theyre
shopping at a mall or at their comput-
ers.
That means the Legislature ought to
debate whether to update the states
consumer protection law for credit card
purchases to cover the billions of dol-
lars of online purchases. The state
Supreme Court basically beckoned law-
makers to do so in its 4-3 decision
Monday in a lawsuit brought by an
Apple customer who didnt want to
divulge his home address and phone
number to download music.
The majority of justices ruled that the
Song-Beverly Credit Card Act which
bars brick-and-mortar retailers from
demanding such information does
not extend to online transactions. The
justices agreed with e-retailers that
argued they require personal data to
ght fraud and identity theft. Unlike
traditional retailers, they are unable to
require photo identication, Justice
Goodwin Liu wrote for the majority.
Indeed, Liu asserted, the law enacted
more than two decades ago before
Amazon and iTunes became ubiquitous
did not envision online transactions.
In 1990, the idea of computerized
transactions involving the sale and pur-
chase of virtual products was beyond
any legislators imagination, he wrote.
Such technology was not even a twin-
kle in Steve Jobs eye.
The three dissenting justices, howev-
er, cautioned that the ruling further
erodes privacy protections and frees
retailers to sell personal information to
other companies. The justices noted
that other forms of remote purchases
such as mail and telephone orders did
exist when the law was passed. Civil
liberties and consumer advocacy groups
argue that online merchants can prevent
fraud without collecting so much per-
sonal data.
There needs to be the right balance
between protecting merchants from los-
ing money to fraud and shielding shop-
pers from unnecessary intrusions into
their privacy.
As usual, there are a lot of inconse-
quential bills being bandied about the
Capitol this session. Heres an issue
worth the Legislatures time, where it
can do some real good.
Legislature needs to clarify credit card law Neither snow nor rain
nor heat nor gloom of
night ...but Saturdays?
N
ews that first-class mail service is cutting out
Saturday deliveries in August went immediately
viral. Not postal, mind you, but viral. In other
words, the announcement got around via the Internet
which, ironically, just proves why nobody really needs six
full days of physical mail to disseminate information. The
truth is the mail hasnt been used to deliver quality infor-
mation regularly for quite a while. Mail boxes are chock
full of catalogs, advertisements, pleas for money by St.
Jude and the SPCA and, before every November, campaign
nonsense. But anything of
immediate value? Rarely.
The small ratio of quality
parcels to junk makes the
effort seem not worth the
letter carriers time or the
noisy upset to the dogs who
think the daily delivery is
the chance to show off their
lung capacity.
Birthday cards, thank you
notes, party invitations and
holiday greetings are few
and far between and even
those anymore pop up as
emails, Evites, tweets and
texts. My neighbors credit
card solicitations show up more often than any piece of
legitimate mail and chances are hes not missing them
much.
Tax return info, maybe. Legal documents and college
application rejection letters? OK, although again so much
of these communications, too, have shifted online and what
hasnt probably isnt so time sensitive that an extra day or
two makes that much difference.
For those who prefer immediate gratification, snail mail
is no good either. Reaching a hand into the mail box with
no clue of what may be inside provides a fleeting moment
of anticipation. Those with erratic delivery schedules may
also get a jolt from knowing the mail even arrived. But then
its gone. Beginning with the now-famous Youve got
mail alert, those jonesing for a mail fix now need do noth-
ing more than click repeatedly on the get mail button
until a message any message downloads into the
inbox.
And you have to pay for the privilege! First 10 cents,
then 20, then 32 or 44 or 46 or some amount nobody can
really remember because the postage simply says
Forever. Paying bills online and cyber correspondence is
faster, cheaper and runs no risk of containing anthrax.
Mailing packages are usually better deals through FedEx or
UPS in fact, the two private companies consistently cap-
ture more than 98 percent of the $337 million in annual
shipping spending by federal agencies, according to an
inspector generals report released in January.
So if mail isnt all that convenient, all that cost-effective
or simply just all that, why isnt the plan to cut Saturdays
as a drastic $2 billion cost-savings measure receiving
an unanimous public stamp of approval?
Nostalgia is a key ingredient. For the same reason, we
collectively mourn the growing demise of the American
space program, cursive handwriting, paper checks, com-
plete sentences that dont hinge on text speak shorthand
and 80s movies that arent poorly remade for new genera-
tions. Add mail service to the list of has-beens whose only
future is in admonishments to children. When I was your
age I walked to school barefoot in the snow. And killed a
bear with a loose-leaf notebook. AND mail actually came
to the house only once daily! Imagine! Waiting! Did I for-
get to mention stamps?
Whether or not all physical mail one day goes the way of
the pay phone remains murky at this point but what is clear
is that something has to be done to end the financial hem-
orrhaging. Perhaps the post office can slash its way to prof-
itability. Perhaps the federal government can contract out
the mail service to a private provider. Perhaps a soft spot
for envelopes and pre-printed mailing labels will convince
the masses to give quaint, old-fashioned mail service anoth-
er try.
Or, perhaps not.
Love it or hate it, feel free to write the U.S. Postal
Service a strongly worded letter about its plan. Just dont
try mailing it on a Saturday.

Administration, carrying out a
mandate from Congress, has
ordered the removal from airports of
full-body scanners that allow security
ofcers to electronically undress airline
customers. They will be replaced with
machines that show only a dummy
human outline and any hidden
weapons.
This is a big gain for air travel priva-

But the same privacy concerns that
made the removed scanners controver-

as planned, in other government securi-

The 250 machines in question are
among those that use backscatter X-

vacy software that uses a generic body
image. These newer machines require
fewer operators, take up less oor space
and complete scans in less time.
But there is always some drawback,
it seems. The millimeter-wave
machines have been found, in tests
conducted in Europe and Australia, to
have very high false-positive rates.
At least one in four travelers were
stopped for body searches.
So dont expect the change in scanner
technology to speed the ow through
airport security.
Backscatter machines are controver-
sial not only because they can produce
a near perfect nude body image that is
invasive of travelers privacy but
because, in the view of some critics,
they expose travelers to dangerous lev-
els of ionized X-rays.
Members of the public who must
pass through these machines at their
new locations will inevitably face the
same privacy concerns as airline travel-
ers.
Happy trails.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Stocks were at on
Wall Street as the latest round of earnings
reports failed to give investors an impe-
tus to push the markets recent rally for-
ward.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
7.22 points to 13,986.52 on Wednesday,
after trading slightly lower for most of
the day. The Standard & Poors 500 rose
0.83 point to 1,512.12. The Nasdaq com-
posite was three points lower at 3,168.48
Time Warner rose $2.05, or 4.1 per-
cent, to $52.01 after the company said its
net income grew 51 percent in the last
three months of 2012 even as revenue
was largely unchanged. Marathon Oil
Corp. fell 32 cents, or 0.9 percent, to
$34.40 after its fourth-quarter net income
fell 41 percent on higher exploration
costs and taxes.
Stocks are consolidating their gains
after surging since the start of the year.
The Dow closed above 14,000 for the
rst time since December 2007 Friday
and had its best January in almost two
decades. The index is up 6.7 percent this
year; the broader S&P 500 is 6 percent
higher.
Theres no question that we need to
take a pause and let reality catch up, said
Jim Russell, an investment director at
U.S. Bank.
The rally started when lawmakers
reached a last-minute deal at New Years
to avoid the scal cliff, a series of steep
tax increases and spending cuts that
would have kicked in at the beginning of
the year. The gains continued on opti-
mism that the housing market recovery is
gaining momentum and that the job mar-
ket is healing.
While the budget deal reached in
January dealt with tax increases, it didnt
tackle spending cuts.
Automatic spending cuts, which would
hit everything from defense spending to
popular benet programs, were sched-
uled to take effect Jan. 1, but were post-
poned till March 1. Russell says stocks
will be unlikely to rise strongly while
talks heat up in Washington over the
spending cuts, which are also referred to
as sequestration.
The rally has pushed stocks close to
record levels. The Dow is 178 points off
its record close, reached in October
2007, and the S&P is 53 points below its
all-time high, achieved in the same
month.
Stocks little changed as earnings fail to inspire
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Wednesday on the
New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
Ralph Lauren Corp., up $9.72 at $174.63
With rising sales of its designer clothing,the company posted a 27 percent
prot increase in its scal third-quarter.
Moneygram International Inc., up $1.21 at $15.33
The money transfer company said that its fourth-quarter net income
rose as fee revenue increased from completing more transfers.
Time Warner Inc., up $2.05 at $52.01
Higher ad revenue at its TV networks helped push the media companys
net income up 51 percent in the last three months of 2012.

LAS VEGAS A newly announced Star
Wars sequel was on everyones mind when
J.J. Abrams took the stage Wednesday at a Las
Vegas video game conference, but he made
only a sideways mention of the lm he has
been hired to direct.
The reference was a throw-away joke from
his last franchise reboot.
The director played a scene from his 2009
Star Trek lm to illustrate the importance of
embroidering lms with subtle details, and
freeze-framed on a shot of
a familiar Star Wars
robot peeking from space
junk.
So theyre looking at
all the debris thats out
there, and curiously, its
R2D2, he said, drawing a
roar of laughter.
Gabe Newell, president
of video game developer
Valve, shared a stage with Abrams at the
Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain
Summit at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
So now I have to go back through your
movies looking at all the debris to gure out
what movie youre going to direct next?
Newell asked.
Abrams has given die-hard fans few clues
about his vision for the seventh live-action
Star Wars lm. He was announced as its
director in January.
The Sin City appearance left fans of The
Force hungering for more insight.
Id love to know who theyll focus on,
what character, how far in the future it will be
set, things like that, said Sadierose
Schwartzmiller, 19, a comic-book creator
who won her ticket to the event in an art con-
test.
Abrams has made a name for himself as a
trusted steward of beloved fantasy universes,
directing well-received additions to the Star
Trek and Mission: Impossible franchises.
Star Wars creator George Lucas opened
the door to the latest round of spin-offs when
he sold his Lucaslm empire to The Walt
Disney Co. for $4.05 billion last fall. The
company is planning three sequels and two
peripheral movies focusing on characters.
Episode VII is tentatively scheduled for
release in the summer of 2015.

Experts say cruise industry starting to recover
NEW YORK Cruise watchers looking back at the
industrys past year say the Concordia disaster affected
everything from prices to safety drills to first-time cruisers,
but bookings appear to be picking up as the 2013 cruise
booking season gets under way.
The first three months of each year are known as wave
season, a period when many cruisers book trips as they
plan ahead for summer vacations. The Costa Concordia ran
aground and capsized Jan. 13, 2012, killing 32 people just
as last years wave season began. Experts have blamed the
captain for the disaster, saying he took the ship off course
in a stunt. The wrecked ship is still lying on its side in
waters off Tuscany, Italy.
In hindsight the market took a bigger hit than anticipat-
ed, said Michael Driscoll, editor of the industry newsletter
Cruise Week. First-time business (from people taking their
first-ever cruise) was off in particular. The lowered
demand led to a decline in prices because cruise lines are
loathe to sail a ship without filling every room, so theyll
drop prices until the ship is at capacity.
Visas fiscal 1Q net income jumps 25 percent
LOS ANGELES Visas profit jumped 25 percent in
the last three months of 2012 as consumers hit stores for
the holidays, using their credit cards and debit cards more
often.
The payments processing company is also expanding a
program to buy back its stock, Visa said Wednesday.
Shares slipped 52 cents to $160.30 in after-hours trading.
The stock ended regular trading up $1.29 at $160.82.
Visa, which is based in Foster City, Calif., makes money
by processing card transactions. Its results provide insight
into how consumers are spending.
Revenue from data processing, international transactions
and service all rose from a year earlier in the October-
December quarter, when consumers ramp up spending for
the holidays.

NOT A GOOD START: U.S. MENS SOCCER TEAM LOSES TO HONDURAS IN OPENER OF FINAL QUALIFYING LEG FOR WORLD CUP >>> PAGE 13
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It sure is nice when the soccer gods reward
faith.
In this particular case, were talking about the
Carlmont High School girls soccer team who for
75-plus minutes heard head coach Tina Doss
emphatically emphasize patience and for 75-plus
minutes had zero goals and a lot of frustration to
show for it.
We were creating plenty of opportunities,
Doss said. We just needed to keep going and it
would eventually come.
Eventually arrived in the 76th minute, on
Carlmonts 10th shot on goal (sixth in the second
half) when Amelia Jacobs nifty move in the
penalty box opened up just enough space for her
to get a clear look at the San Mateo net. Jacobs
nished past a diving Kitty Qu for the winning
goal.
The goal was much deserved considering
Carlmonts efforts in the second half. That said, it
took very little away from Qus game between
the posts for the Bearcats. The San Mateo goal-
keeper recorded nine saves.
She was amazing, said San Mateo head
coach Carlos Bover. She had great positioning.
Shes a solid goalkeeper. Shes kept us in many
games. In the second half, I thought they
(Carlmont) were getting closer and closer to goal.
But Kitty was able to keep us in great shape.
Despite San Mateos defensive efforts, they
allowed Carlmont one too many knocks on the
proverbial door and Jacobs shot nally smashed
through.
Anytime they felt like there were too many
white jerseys in front of them, they needed to get
the ball back and switch it up again, Doss said of
her offensive instructions. Spread them out. I
just kept telling them, Be patient, be patient, be
patient and so, Im very lucky that it happened
that way.
Bover said his team knew coming it that in
order for the Bearcats to think about a win, theyd
need a superior defensive effort. In the rst 20
minutes of the game, San Mateo appeared the
more relaxed team one with of a better idea
of what they wanted to do with ball and the
game.

The Half Moon Bay boys basketball team was
the only thing standing between El Camino and
the Peninsula Athletic Leagues North Division
championship when the Colts traveled to the
coast for a Wednesday night showdown.
Despite giving the Colts all they could handle,
the Cougars could not pull off the upset as El
Camino held on for a 60-53 win, giving the Colts
their second straight PAL division title.
But dont expect a lot of pats on the backs from
the Colts or the El Camino coaching staff.
Nooo, said El Camino coach Archie Junio
when asked if he told his team the importance of
Wednesdays game. I never talk about it. Maybe
they (the players) do. We have other things to
worry about.
The Cougars gave the Colts plenty to worry
about Wednesday, especially a big front line that
controlled the glass for most of the night, which
initially slowed down the Colts. But once El
Camino got rolling, it was hard to stop.
They out-rebounded us like crazy, Junio
said. If we cant get out in transition, it (the
game) gets a little closer.
Half Moon Bay (7-4 PAL North, 17-5 overall)
did a good job of getting 6-6 center Rico Nuno
involved early, as he scored the Cougars rst six
points and had 10 in the rst half.
But El Camino (10-0, 18-4) did a good job of
limiting him the rest of the way, as Nuno man-
aged only six points in the second half. The Colts
tried to front Nuno in the beginning, but that was-
nt working so Junio changed up the defensive
strategy.
We went to full-court man and hopefully they
cant see the big man down low, Junio said.
Half Moon Bay coach Rich Forslund said his
team just stopped trying to get the ball down in
the post.
We cant the ball into the bigs enough,
Forslund said. And we practice the hell out of it.
We cant get guys to try certain things.
Half Moon Bay played well for most of the
game, but it was a pair of El Camino runs one
at the end of the rst half and one to start the
Colts clinch crown
L
ike a lot of schools, hanging from
the rafters in the Burlingame High
gym are banners commemorating
the schools Central Coast Section champi-
onships. There is one, however, if you look
closely, that has a different title: state cham-
pions. In 1988, the Burlingame girls bas-
ketball team not only won the CCS title, it
went on to win the Division III state crown
the only public school girls team from
CCS to accomplish that goal.
Tuesday, during halftime of the
Woodside-Burlingame girls game, the
school will honor that
team on the 25th
anniversary of win-
ning it all. A lot of the
members of that team
will be in attendance
but not the coach.
Steve Picchi wont
make it to the ceremo-
ny because he will be
coaching the Sequoia
girls team that night.
I may try to get
there late and check in
and say hello to the
kids, Picchi said.
Those kids are now adults, but they will
always be the kids that won Burlingames
lone state championship. Not that the title
came as much of a surprise. The 1986 and
1987 Panthers teams advanced to the CCS
championship game and the NorCal tourna-
ment. In 1988, they put it all together.
We had played for the CCS title the pre-
vious two years, Picchi recalled.
Expectations were pretty high (in 1988).
We didnt talk about it, but the expectations
were high.
We were certainly the favorites locally.
We got going pretty good by the middle of
the season.
The Panthers started that year 6-2, losing
a couple of close games to a pair of San
Francisco schools. From there, however,
Burlingame took off, winning their nal 30
games and nished the year with a 36-2
record. Picchi said after a pretty tough pre-

As the nal seconds ticked off the score-
board Wednesday night in the Burlingame
High School gym, Dana Michaels and Nina
Newman shared a big hug near the team
bench the two grinning from ear to ear.
Revenge, no matter how you slice it, is
always very sweet.
The smiles oating around the Burlingame
bench were a complete contrast to the tears
shed three weeks ago when Mills shocked the
Panthers and handed them their lone
Peninsula Athletic League loss this season by
simply out-willing them for the win.
On Wednesday during Senior Night, it was
a completely different story.
Burlingame steam-rolled the Vikings 43-24
to avenge the earlier loss. It was a game the
Panthers controlled from the tip-off on the
defensive side of the ball. Come the second
half, the Panthers already led 27-10 after
Mills did not score a single point in the second
quarter.
My seniors hadnt beat Mills so it was a
big deal for them, said Burlingame head
coach Bill Lepeltak. We rebounded the ball
and that keyed our break. We were patience.
Usually, we just re the ball up. And in the
second half, we played smart. We eliminated
anything from happening that could have
caused us to lose the game. We played incred-
ibly smart. We didnt play great, but we were
smart.
We came out strong like we wanted it real-
ly badly, said Michaels, who nished with
seven points. At halftime, our coach said it
was 0-0 on the scoreboard we have to work
hard and keep doing what we were doing.
It was just a brutal game all the way
around, said Mills head coach Dave Matsu.

OKLAHOMA CITY A fog-delayed
arrival in Oklahoma City made Golden States
task tough enough.
Then the Warriors made the mistake of get-
ting on Kevin Martins bad side.
Kevin Durant scored 25 points and Martin
roared to life with 10 points during a fourth-
quarter run that put away the Thunders 119-
98 win on Wednesday night.
Martin hit a pair of 3-pointers, a runner and
slammed home a two-handed dunk during a
16-4 fourth-quarter spurt that pushed the lead
to 106-83 and coaxed coach Scott Brooks into
emptying his bench instead of going back to
All-Stars Russell Westbrook and Durant down
the stretch. Warriors coach Mark Jackson soon
followed suit.
Coach Jackson should talk to a couple of
his bench players and make sure they get wet
behind the ears before they come barking at a
couple of our players, said Martin, who went
4 for 5 in the nal period and ended up with 21
points.
Playing on the second night of a back-to-
back, the Warriors didnt get settled in
Oklahoma City until almost daybreak and it
showed as they fell behind by 20 early. Martin
refused to say specically who got him riled
up to nally squash Golden States chances for
a comeback.
Youve got to take it personal, what they
did, Martin said. It wasnt only talking trash.
They made a couple of dirty plays to inspire us
as a team.
Harrison Barnes and
Klay Thompson had 19
points apiece for the
Warriors. Golden State
played without Andrew
Bogut, who is still easing
his way back from a left
ankle injury, and Jarrett
Jack was sidelined by a
right shoulder contusion.
Fog kept the Warriors from arriving in
Oklahoma City after their 140-109 loss at
Houston on Tuesday night, and the team plane
ended up landing about 100 miles away in
Tulsa instead. The team buses were still in
Oklahoma City, though.
Some players took taxis and others waited
for the buses to come get them. It was around
4:30 a.m. by the time they got to the hotel.
It denitely throws your routine off, espe-
cially on a back-to-back, Stephen Curry said.
On game day, you cant really think about it,
about that being a crutch for you. Just try to
overcome it as much as possible.
I dont know if our energy was a problem.
I think it was just a lack of focus at the begin-
ning.
Oklahoma City opened a 42-22 lead after
scoring the rst eight points of the second
quarter with four each from Martin and
Nick Collison. The Thunder shot a blazing 60
percent over the rst quarter and a half, getting
easy buckets against the ragged Warriors and
building a 28-10 scoring advantage in the paint
and a 53-31 lead.
Golden State clawed back to cut the decit
to 75-63 after David Lees two-handed dunk
with 7:19 left in the third quarter and was as
close as 11 to start the nal period before
Oklahoma City put it away with a lineup fea-
turing Serge Ibaka, Thabo Sefolosha and three
reserves most notably Martin.
Durant said he thought Martin got upset
when he was fouled and shoved out of bounds.
I wouldnt say they were too dirty but they
were playing us physical, and you dont ever
want to shy away from a physical game,
Durant said. I think K-Mart did a really good
job of getting mad and getting into a zone.
He can get hot pretty quickly, and thats
what busted the game open for us in the fourth
quarter.
The big lead allowed Brooks to go without
Durant or Westbrook in the fourth quarter for
the second straight game.
Any time youre sitting over there to start
the fourth for the rest of the game, its a good
game, Durant said.
Westbrook nished with 22 points and Ibaka
had 15 points, nine rebounds and a career-high
four assists for Oklahoma City, which won
consecutive games for the rst time in nearly
three weeks after alternating wins and losses
for the previous nine games.
Curry had 14 points and 11 assists, and Lee
had 12 points and 11 rebounds, but the duo
also combined for 10 of the Warriors 19
turnovers.
I thought we played well in spurts but you
give up 64 points in the paint and 29 points off
turnovers, thats a recipe for disaster coming
into this building against this team, Jackson
said.

TUCSON Stanford got off to a great start
and stayed close even when No. 7 Arizona
fought back.
The Cardinal faded down the stretch, but
hanging with a top-10 team in one of college
basketballs toughest environments is a good
sign.
Dwight Powell scored 18 of his 24 points in
the second half, but Stanford couldnt stop
Arizona and it seniors in the second half of a
73-66 loss Wednesday night on the 40th
anniversary of the rst game at the McKale
Center.
It shows they can compete at this level,
Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins said. This is
a tough environment. It was a great effort, but
its not about the moral victories for us. Its
about what we have to do to win.
Stanford (14-9, 5-5) dominated Arizona
early to put a damper on Arizonas celebra-
tion. Even as the Wildcats rallied and the
McKale Center came to life, the Cardinal
stayed close behind Dwight Powell, who
scored 18 of his 24 points in the second half.
Stanford faded down the stretch, though,
unable to stop Lyons and Hill or handle
Arizonas defensive pressure in the games
nal 3 minutes.
Powell grabbed 10 rebounds, but had ve
turnovers, and Aaron Bright added 16 points
for the Cardinal, who nished 7 of 19 from 3-
point range.
Even though tonight was a loss, we came
out and showed we can hang with anyone in
the country, said Stanfords Josh Huestis,
who had 10 points and 10 rebounds. We let
things down in the last couple of minutes and
thats where we lost it.
Playing in front of color-coordinated crowd
at the McKale Center, Arizona (20-2, 8-2 Pac-
12) came out at, spoiling the festive atmos-
phere inside its 40-year-old arena.
The Wildcats needed most of the rst half to
catch the Cardinal and traded a urry of made
baskets in a back-and-forth second half before
seniors Mark Lyons and Solomon Hill took
over.

A young American defense came apart on a
hot, tropical afternoon, and the United States
opened the nal round of World Cup qualify-
ing with a loss for the rst time in 24 years.
Jerry Bengtson took advantage of a defen-
sive mix-up to score the go-ahead goal in the
79th minute, and Honduras rallied to beat the
United States 2-1 at San Pedro Sula.
They were a much better team than us
today. We did look at, American goalkeeper
Tim Howard said.
Clint Dempsey put the U.S. ahead in the
36th minute with an impressive volley, but the
Americans gave up the lead when Juan Carlos
Garcia scored with a bicycle kick in the 40th
that should make the highlights reels of the
best goals of 2013.
Bengtson, who plays for Major League
Soccers New England Revolution, scored the
winner when defender Geoff Cameron and
Howard both went for a pass by Maynor
Figueroa to Oscar Boniek Garcia. That
allowed Garcia to tap the ball across to
Bengtson for a shot into an open net, and
Omar Gonzalez was too late to challenge him.
It was denitely a dagger. I didnt see that
coming, said Gonzalez, who started in place
of longtime captain Carlos Bocanegra. I did-
nt see the guy on the back post. Maybe I
should have looked over my shoulder and saw
him quicker.
The game marked a generational change for
the U.S. defense, with right back Timmy
Chandler (age 22) making his competitive
debut and ending his eligibility to play for
Germany. Gonzalez (24) and Cameron (27)
paired together in central defense for the rst
time, and Fabian Johnson (25) was at left
back.
Gonzalez had a chance to redeem himself,
getting his head on a corner kick by Graham
Zusi in the nal seconds of stoppage time. But
his shot from the 6-yard box sailed well above
the crossbar.
Overall, there were too many mistakes
done and too many players today just didnt
reach their usual potential, U.S. coach Jurgen
Klinsmann said. They stayed behind their
own game and therefore, its really difcult
coming away with a win here if youre not
having everybody 100 percent at their limits.
Playing without Landon Donovan, a veteran
of three World Cups who is unsure whether to
continue his career, the 28th-ranked U.S. was
under pressure for much of the match. No. 59
Honduras had the better chances, forcing
Howard into several difcult saves.
Not the way we wanted to start, but look,
its a long road, American midfielder
Michael Bradley said. Nobody on our end
expects to go 10-0-0. Thats the reality.
Theres six good teams. Theres tough stadi-
ums to play in, theres tough atmospheres.
The U.S., seeking its seventh straight trip to
soccers showcase, lost its nal-round opener
for the rst time since 1989 in Costa Rica. The
Americans had been 12-3-3 against Honduras,
including 3-0 in qualiers at San Pedro Sula.
The U.S. overcame that last opening loss to
earn a spot in the 1990 World Cup, the
Americans rst appearance since 1950.
Most of these guys are playing in Europe,
and you come in here today at its, like, 90
degrees, the games at 3 oclock, said
Dempsey, who went the distance Sunday in
London for Tottenham. Its a difcult game
because you cant press and run and have the
endurance that you would have in other
games.
Klinsmann used his three substitutes in the
early part of the second half, inserting
Maurice Edu, Sacha Kljestan and Zusi for
Danny Williams, Eddie Johnson and Jermaine
Jones.

coaches and up-to-date equipment, a coalition of
groups recommended Wednesday in a call to
action aimed at protecting the almost 8 million
students participating in high school sports each
year.
The Youth Sports Safety Alliance of more than
100 organizations released the proposed rules,
which call for health providers such as athletic
trainers or doctors available for every school,
warnings about performance-enhancing sub-
stances for athletes and the creation of a national
registry to track student athlete deaths. The rules
also would require schools to have clean and well-
maintained facilities, and require students to have
a pre-season physical exam, including testing for
some of the 400,000 concussions students suffer
annually.
Many of the proposed requirements are already
standard practice, state athletic ofcials said. The
biggest hurdle, however, is medical care.
Only 42 percent of high schools have access to
an athletic trainer and 47 percent of schools even
come up short on the federally recommended
nurse-to-student ratio.
You get into schools with less than 30 kids in
the schools, theyre not going to have the money,
New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic
Association executive director Patrick Corbin
said. Theyre lucky if they can nd a physician in
those places.
In his state, for instance, schools are required to
have medical care for students during games and
practice. But that can range from an on-site physi-
cian in the densely populated southern part of his
state to a cellphone to call an ambulance in the
rural north.
Organizers called their Secondary School
Student Athletes Bill of Rights the rst compre-
hensive and national plan aimed at protecting stu-
dents who participate on their schoolsteams. The
group is urging each state athletic association to
adopt their blueprint.
While state athletic ofcials agreed with the
premise of protecting students, logistical and
nancial challenges were clearly visible. Every
state is on its own to put in place rules for its stu-
dent athletes and athletic trainers arent always a
priority amid tight school and state budgets; the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a $41,600
median salary for athletic trainers.
In Ohio, students already are meeting many of
the requirements, said Deborah Moore, associate
commissioner of the Ohio High School Athletic
Association.
Its not a requirement but most high schools
have access to athletic training services, she said,
noting the larger schools have athletic trainers on
staff and smaller ones have contracts with local
hospitals or rehabilitation facilities.
Its the same in Colorado, said Bert Borgmann,
an assistant commissioner with the Colorado
High School Activities Association.
In some cases, coaches step in.
Coaches pick up the important aspects of ath-
letic training because they know their responsibil-
ity is the kids on the oor and the kids on the
eld, Borgmann said. You rarely, if ever, nd a
coach who is in this who is in this to hurt kids.
Texas, the state with the largest number of stu-
dent athletes, already is following most of the
advocates requirement. Each school district is
required to have a concussion-prevention pro-
gram led by at least one medical professional but
does not require schools to have an on-staff ath-
letic trainer.
California, the state with the second largest
number of student athletes, comes up short on the
advocates demand for on-site athletic trainers but
ofcials there have considered it amid the states
budget crisis.

We played terrible. It was ridiculous.
They came out. They punched us in the
face. They wanted it more than we did. I tip
my hat to (Burlingame). They played a
great game. They scared our girls.
The Panthers came out and led by 10
before Mills could get a decent sweat going.
With 1:13 left, a Michaels 3-pointer gave
Burlingame the double-digit advantage and
it was cut to seven right before the first
quarter buzzer.
But it was then that Mills went on an
uncomfortable run of offensive basketball.
The Vikings shot 0 for 11 from the oor in the
second quarter and did not score a point
they didnt even get to the free throw line. The
entire period was a 10-0 run for the Panthers.
Offensively, we couldnt buy a basket,
Matsu said. When we dont score, our
morale gets down. We have no energy when
we dont score. Its been a tough year. We
havent been scoring like were used to.
I think our defense was strong and we
worked really hard on offense to get the ball
to Lauren (Rally) and I, Michaels said.
Lauren had some good drives. Sarah
(Gogarty) had good passes. We just worked
well together.
The drought continued until the 6:23 mark
of the third quarter for Mills when Julia Gibbs
nally hit a little hook in the lane. But by then,
the Panthers led 31-12.
Burlingame dominated the glass throughout
the game, outrebounding 33-24. After shoot-
ing just 18 percent for the rst half, the
Vikings actually shot worse in the second,
going 3 of 32 from the eld.
We live and die by playing defense,
Matsu said. We dont play defense, we dont
get stops, we cant score on the other end.
Were a small team. When you get out-
rebounded and out-hustled, it makes for a
long game. We lost by 20-something we
should have lost by 40.
They were the better team tonight. Im just
more disappointed that my team gave a terri-
ble effort tonight.
Rally led the Panthers with 14 points. Nora
Gustafson was huge for Burlingame. She
scored 11 points and pulled down 10
rebounds.
The win for Burlingame keeps them a game
behind rst place Woodside. The two are
scheduled to meet next week in the regular-
season nale.

Bay Area colleges stock up on Signing Day
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STANFORD David Shaws latest
recruiting class is short on numbers and mar-
quee names. If the past has shown anything,
though, that might not matter much.
Looking for the right combination of brawn
and brains, Stanford signed 12 players to
national letters of intent Wednesday. Thats a
considerably smaller and less heralded
group than a year ago, when the Cardinal
coach hauled in 22 players in what the pro-
gram called the best class in its history.
The type of players signed, Shaw said,
remains constant.
Youre going to see toughness. Youre
going to see guys play with the attitude that
we have here, said Shaw, sitting at a table
anked by the Pac-12 and Rose Bowl champi-
onship trophies. Youre going to see guys
that are bright and intelligent. First and fore-
most before we ever start this process, youre
going to see guys that t us.
That has been Stanfords strategy during its
recent renaissance.
With so many players returning from a team
that just won the Rose Bowl, Shaw focused on
nding targets to help breakout quarterback
Kevin Hogan as he enters his redshirt sopho-
more season. Among those in the recruiting
class are tight ends Greg Taboada (Atlanta,
Ga.), Austin Hooper (San Ramon, Calif.) and
Eric Cotton (Nampa, Idaho) along with wide
receiver Francis Owusu (Oxnard, Calif.).
Stanfords recruiting class
follows a similar pattern
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERKELEY Sonny Dykes made the
most of a tough situation in his rst recruiting
class as coach at California.
Two months after inheriting a 3-9 team from
the red Jeff Tedford, Dykes put together a
25-player class with an emphasis on offensive
and defensive linemen that ranks in the middle
of the conference, according to analysts.
Dykes managed to keep most of the key
players who committed to Cal when Tedford
was coach and made a few key additions in the
closing weeks.
While the class lacks star power, Dykes is
pleased with the depth he added on both lines
of scrimmage with eight defensive linemen
and ve offensive linemen.
Those guys will never be the ashy guys in
a recruiting class, Dykes said Wednesday.
Football is won and lost in the trenches. To
add 13 quality players in terms of our lines
was critical.
The defensive group includes two junior
college players, Sione Sina and Kyle Kragen,
who have already enrolled in school and could
make an immediate impact, as well as talent-
ed incoming freshmen Takkarist McKinley,
Tony Mekari and Garrett Hughes.
The offensive linemen may take more time
to develop and Cal lost its top player in that
group when Cameron Hunt signed with
Oregon after originally committing to Cal
when Tedford was coach.
Dykes targets trenches in
rst class at UC Berkeley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE Newly hired coach Ron
Caragher had the opportunity to watch a few
practices as San Jose State prepared for the
Military Bowl last December. He turned his
observations into evaluations and decided to
boost prospects on the defensive line for his
rst season at the helm.
The Spartans, who nished 11-2 and No. 21
in the AP Top 25, signed eight defensive line-
men out of 20 overall commitments
Wednesday.
San Jose State graduates three defensive
ends, so Caragher went after a pair of JC line-
men among the ve who were signed from the
community college ranks.
When you have pressing needs you feel
better with a 20- or 21-year-old who is more
developed, Caragher said. We can watch
lm of them playing against a higher level.
The Spartans also signed a tight end, line-
backer and running back from various junior
colleges.
Five of those who officially signed are
already enrolled in school and eligible for
spring practice, which gets under way on Feb.
19.
Overall, San Jose State signed nine offensive
players, nine defensive players and two overall
athletes.
We have some good momentum with the
football program, Caragher said.

Giants settle arbitration
case with closer Sergio Romo
SAN FRANCISCO Reliever Sergio
Romo and the San Francisco Giants have
agreed to a $9 million, two-year contract,
avoiding salary arbitration.
The deal announced Wednesday means the
Giants have settled all of their potential arbi-
tration cases before hearings.
Romo, who made $1,575,000 last season,
had asked for $4.5 million in 2013 with the
Giants offering $2,675,000. Romo will be eli-
gible to be a free agent after the 2014 season.
Romo went 4-2 with 14 saves and a 1.79
ERA last season. He was the teams primary
closer in the postseason, when he had one win,
four saves and a 0.84 ERA in 10 appearances.
He struck out Miguel Cabrera to nish San
Franciscos sweep of Detroit in the World
Series that gave the Giants their second cham-
pionship in three seasons.
Raiders to tarp off part of upper deck
ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders are
tarping off about 10,000 seats at the
Coliseum to reduce capacity to approximate-
ly 53,250 next season.
Raiders CEO Amy Trask announced
Wednesday that tarps will be put over the
third deck on the East side of the stadium to
make it easier to sell games out and to create
a better game-day environment.
About 4,850 fans will be relocated with
the price of their season tickets cut from
$260 to $250. Other season-ticket holders on
the West side will see the price of their sea-
son tickets drop by as much as $360.
Rare 1865 baseball card
to be auctioned in Maine
BIDDEFORD, Maine Six-gure bids are
expected when a rare 148-year-old baseball
card discovered at a rural Maine yard sale is
auctioned.
Saco River Auction Co. in Biddeford is
holding an auction Wednesday evening that
includes a card depicting the Brooklyn
Atlantics amateur baseball club.
The card isnt the same as a modern-day
baseball card, which became common in the
1880s. Rather, its an original photograph
from 1865 mounted on a card, showing nine
players and a manager.
The Library of Congress said last month it
was aware of only two copies of the photo.
The other is in the institutions collection.
In its book Baseball Americana, the
Library of Congress calls the item the rst
dated baseball card, handed out to supporters
and opposing teams in a gesture of bravado
from the brash Brooklynites, who were domi-
nant and won their league championships in
1861, 1864 and 1865.
About half a dozen people are expected to
bid by phone, and at least ve people have
said theyll travel to the auction house to place
bids, said Troy Thibodeau, manager and auc-
tioneer at Saco River Auction.
The great unknown is the Internet,
Thibodeau said. We have two Internet bid-
ding sites, and we wont know how many peo-
ple will use those until the bidding begins.
A Maine man who doesnt want to be pub-
licly identied found the card inside an old
photo album he bought while antique picking
in the small town of Baileyville on the
Canadian border.

season, the Panthers sailed the rest of the way.
We kind of rolled, Picchi said. At the
time, we were just competing, trying to do our
best every year. I had some really good kids.
Theyre the ones who deserve all the credit. I
was just along for the ride.
The state championship team was a model
for taking success a bit further every year.
After losing in the CCS nals in 1986, the
Panthers were bounced in the rst round of
the Northern California tournament. The fol-
lowing year, after another loss to Harbor in the
CCS championship game, Burlingame won its
first-round NorCal game. In 1988, the
Panthers won the CCS title and cruised to the
state championship game, beating Lemoore
61-39.
By the third year, it was an amazing run. It
was pretty cool. It was nice to be a part of
that, Picchi said. We had a good crowd (at
the title game). It was pretty exciting. The city
of Burlingame really paid tribute. The recog-
nition the kids got from the city of
Burlingame was a great thrill.
Despite having high expectations in 1988,
Picchi said there was never any talk by him
about taking that last step and doing some-
thing really special. He said there didnt seem
to be a lot of pressure, but when the Panthers
took down Lemoore, Picchi said everyone
was nally relaxed.
For me, there might have been a little of
that. I think relief was a good word. We were
able to nally let our guard down and cele-
brate.
That was, by far, my best team. Their
results speak for themselves. I think that team
would stand up just ne right now.
For Picchi, the reunion will more than like-
ly wrap up his coaching career, as he said he
will most likely step down at Sequoia follow-
ing the season.
I think this might be it for me. My plate is
pretty full. I think I want to see what it feels
like not to be a coach, Picchi said. Sequoia
has really rejuvenated me and probably
extended my coaching career for a few years.
I knew I would do it forever. Im in the
stage of life where I want to relax.

But a depleted Bearcats team with
a thin bench began to wear down,
leaving them with very little re-
power on the offensive side of the
ball. The Scots never threatened San
Mateo too dangerously in the rst
half but all the running around to
defend eventually gassed the
Bearcats.
Thats something Carlmont took
advantage of in the second half.
The Scots came right out of the
chute ring shots at San Mateos
goal while all the Bearcats could do
was clear the ball and wait for
another Scots assault. Key to
Carlmonts offense was Jacobs, who
Doss pushed forward from her mid-
eld position.
I wanted more numbers up,
Doss said. I wanted to put people
in positions to go to goal and I know
shes one of those players that will
go to goal.
Qu was huge on some clear looks
at goal. And the longer the game
went, the more unsettling it was for
Carlmont and the more the Bearcats
believed they might be able to sal-
vage a draw.
But a long ball into the penalty
box and played off a bounce by
Jacobs with a tap of her head allud-
ed her defender. The midfielder
squared up after a slight poke-drib-
ble to her right and red a shot that
beat Qu to the far post.
The team played well, Bover
said of his girls. Compared to the
previous game where we didnt per-
form good soccer at all, today was a
well-played game defensively
against a really tough team.
San Mateo gave it one last gasp
effort but tired legs afforded no clear
looks at goal. Still, Doss made sure
her Scots didnt let up.
I dont think there is a team in
this league where if we started to let
down a little bit, theyd start to come
back in, Doss said. So thats
something I denitely talked to the
defense about defensively we
cant fall asleep, period. Weve let
too many teams come back when we
had control of the game and I didnt
want it happening today.
They play amazing soccer,
Bover said of Carlmont. We tried
to match up with them. Our aggres-
siveness was good. Were just lack-
ing numbers in that nal third.
Burlingame 1, Aragon 0
The Panthers scored in the third
minute courtesy of Alexis Prieto and
then held the Dons off for the next
77 minutes to secure a 1-0 win.
The goal was assisted by Lena
Mendelson.
We couldve had a lot more,
said Burlingame head coach Philip
DeRosa. But well take it.
The win helps the Panthers stay
ve points back of Carlmont for sec-
ond place in the Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division.

fourth quarter that carried the Colts to the
win. Half Moon Bay, which led 15-14 after one
quarter, took a 24-20 lead with 3:02 to play in
the rst half. But El Camino nished the half on
a 10-0 run to lead 30-24 at halftime.
The Cougars eventually cut their decit to 39-
36 with 1:31 left in the third quarter, but the
Colts again responded with a 7-0 run to lead by
10, 46-36, going into the nal eight minutes,
where they threatened to blow out the Cougars.
After a Brody Menzies driving layup cut the
Colts lead 46-38 to open the fourth quarter, El
Camino answered with an 11-2 run to push the
lead to 17, 57-40, with 3:04 to play as the
Cougars went more than three minutes without
scoring.
The Cougars nished with a ourish, outscor-
ing the Colts 13-3 the rest of the way, but the
hole was too deep.
I thought our effort was really good,
Forslund said. Theyre two runs killed us.
These are games players have to make plays in.
Nuno led the Cougars with 16 points and 11
rebounds. Corey Cilia added 13. The Colts were
led by Michael Smith, who scored a game-high
23. Elijah White added 15.
The Colts appeared to be a bit of trouble when
White picked up his fourth foul with 3:13 left in
the third quarter, but Alex Huerta came in and
provided a steadying hand. He ran the point
awlessly and scored seven points with White
sitting.
We knew he could step up, Junio said. We
knew we would be OK with what he gives us.

Its cold out there. In much of
the country, nows the time when
home serves as a cozy refuge from
the ice and snow. We light our fire-
places and wish for springtime.
But what if we took the opposite
approach, using the inspiration of
frosty winter colors and shimmer-
ing, icy textures to create rooms
that look gorgeous year-round? A
winter-inspired room can celebrate
the beauty of this season, and also
provide a cooling refuge perfect
for the spring and summer ahead.
My clients usually think Ive
lost my mind when I suggest using
winter as a source of inspiration
for a cozy bedroom, says design-
er Brian Patrick Flynn, founder of
decordemon.com. But, he says,
when done right, a combination
of layered whites, blue-grays and
touches of metallic can add a win-
try look thats chic, inviting, sur-
prisingly warm and totally time-
less.
Here, Flynn and two other interi-
or designers Betsy Burnham of
Los Angeles Burnham Design and
Kyle Schuneman of Live Well
Designs offer advice on using
winter as a decorating inspiration.
GET REFLECTIVE
Start with the reflective sheen of
ice as your main inspiration, says
Flynn. Use a plethora of reflec-
tive surfaces and metallic touch-
es, he says, including mirrored
accent tables and nightstands, as
well as mirrored lamps.
Flynn and Schuneman both rec-
ommend metallic wallpaper. One
bedroom I designed in California
was completely inspired by
Candice Olsens birch bark wall-
paper from York Wallcovering,
Flynn says.
The paper is made from white-
toned birch bark, and has a metal-
lic backing which just screams
winter chic.
If youd prefer painted walls,
Schuneman suggests choosing a
shade of pale gray or icy blue and
buying it in two different finishes
one with a high sheen that
almost looks metallic and the other
matte. Paint the walls with alter-
nating stripes of each finish.
This use of just a few metallic or
mirrored items is a great way to
bring in some icy glamour,
Schuneman says, without it
becoming the ice princess dun-
geon.
Mirrored and metallic items also
maximize light, warming a room
even in winter.
Since trees lose their leaves in
the winter, the amount of light that
streams in through the window can
be double the amount in the spring
or summer, Flynn says. By the
time that gorgeous light hits the
reflective surfaces and metallics,
the room instantly warms up.
Burnham also likes mirrored
items. A mirrored table adds a
dimension to a room that wood
just doesnt, she says. But she
cautions against taking the look
too far. If youre buying mirrored
end tables, she says, put a ceramic
lamp on top rather than a mirrored
or glass lamp. Or mix mirrors and
chrome with warm shades of ivory,
rather than stark whites.
USE A RANGE OF COLORS
The biggest trick to doing a

Monday, Sgt. Dave Norris said.
By all accounts it appears to have been an accident, Norris
said. There is no indication of any criminal activity or foul
play involved in this incident.
Norris said it is important for parents to remember that
young children especially toddlers are very active and
curious.
Although not every accident can be predicted, parents and
families should remember that predictable is preventable, and
take measures to secure their home environments as best they
can to prevent foreseeable dangers, he said.
wintry palette right is to layer, layer,
layer, Flynn says. I like to stick
with an overall white palette, but
bring in ultra-white, off-white, cream,
blue-white and then add touches of
blue-gray. This makes a space sooth-
ing and sophisticated, while adding
depth.
Burnhams favorite wintry wall
color right now is a shade called
Silver Spoon by Dunn-Edwards.
Its a really, really pale gray-blue, and
I cannot tell you how many rooms Ive
used it in, she says. It contrasts well
with white for a modern look or with
warm shades of brown for a more
organic and earthy feel.
Schuneman loves mixing wintry
whites, silvers and grays accented with
shades of purple. Or he sometimes
pairs a gray that has blue as its base,
and a blue that has gray in its base
and brings in hard edges, like crystal
lamps for a chic, wintry feeling.
WORK IT ANYWHERE
Winter-inspired design can work in
any climate, from a Vermont ski house
to a California beach condo.
I did a bedroom in the Hollywood
Hills with icy blue walls, and the head-
board wall was all metal ceiling tiles,
Schuneman says. For the bedside
tables, he chose pale blue glass lamps
that resemble melting chunks of ice.
You can really go for it and do a
full-on winter-inspired style,
Schuneman says, or use just touches of
it as the thing that gives a room an
edge.
In southern California or other warm
locations, Burnham says, it may work
best to mix winter-inspired items with
something more reminiscent of the
local weather.
Think of a beautiful driftwood table
with something sparkly on it. That
brings it back to the sand and the
beach, and keeps it relatable to your
warm-weather location, but also
includes a bit of icy beauty, she says.
BALANCE ICY WITH COZY
Along with shimmery, mirrored sur-
faces, be sure to include soft, cozy
ones: Look for beautiful cable-knit
cashmere throws, Burnham says, or
a big faux-fur coyote blanket on a
bed. Its wintry, but its also so luxe, so
high-end hunting lodge, and that
works at the beach, too.
Layers of soft fabric on furniture and
floors bring a welcome feeling of
warmth. If you choose a fluffy, white
flokati rug for the floor, youre still
having a kind of wintry moment,
Schuneman says, but its just not
hard-edged.
WHAT NOT TO DO
Just dont get silly, Flynn says.
First and foremost, I let my client
know that just because were going
wintry, it doesnt mean were going to
pop out igloos, snowflakes and polar
bears. In other words, we completely
avoid themes and cliches altogether.
Instead, he says, we just think of
different ways to use whites, grays,
metallics and textures in a manner
which fits their personal style and
makes a room feel airy and open.
Thats usually my trick to getting win-
ter-inspired design right.

We understand its the publics money and we have made a
lot of progress, Stuebing said.
In the meantime, Paul Regan, the districts former general
manager, has retired and has been replaced by Tammy Rudock,
who was named general manager of the agency in January.
The district was insured, Stuebing said, and has already
received payment that covers the loss.
In late 2011, the district identied nancial irregularities that
caused it to engage in a forensic audit of its nancial records.
The results of the forensic audit were then forwarded to the
DAs ofce.
The discrepancies in the books were discovered after
Remeleh, the agencys former administrative service manager,
took a leave of absence from the agency before Christmas
2011.
Her interim replacement allegedly found a stack of checks
hidden away in a ling cabinet that were all made out to
Remeleh, according to an anonymous source who shared the
story with the Daily Journal early last year.
Remelehs daughter, Sara Abou-Remeleh, also previously
worked at the agency part time but was allegedly let go after the
discrepancies were discovered.
Mid-Peninsula Water District is a local government agency
that provides water to 28,000 homes in Belmont, parts of San
Carlos, parts of Redwood City and parts of unincorporated San
Mateo County. It has an annual budget of about $8.5 million
through its operations and is served by a ve-person elected
board of directors. It collects about $180,000 annually in local
property taxes.
Remeleh, a 53-year-old Castro Valley resident, worked at the
agency for more than a decade.
The San Mateo Local Agency Formation Commission com-
pleted a municipal service review and sphere of inuence
review of the Mid-Peninsula Water District in March 2011. The
LAFCo review suggested the agency be transferred either to
privately-owned California Water Service Company or become
a subsidiary of the city of Belmont to achieve savings in pro-
viding water to its customers by eliminating redundant admin-
istration and governance in overlapping areas. Cal Water pro-
vides service to San Mateo, South San Francisco and most of
San Carlos.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
You wouldnt think that the dead of winter
would be a good time to sow seeds. But it is,
for plants whose seeds need some kind of
long-term treatment before they will sprout.
Such is the case for the tree peony seeds I
recently planted. Well, planted may not be
quite the right word. After soaking them in
water for a few hours, I merely tossed them
into a plastic sandwich bag with a handful of
moist potting soil. The bag will sit on the
kitchen counter for a couple of months, then
go into the refrigerator for a couple more.
HOLDING BACK FOR A REASON
Such treatment is needed because tree
peony seeds must lay down roots before any
shoot growth takes place. To grow, the roots
need some rain (or a good soaking) to leach
out inhibitors, and some warmth.
The shoots, however, wont sprout until
theyve been exposed to a period of cool,
moist conditions outdoors or in my refrig-
erator. Under natural conditions, all this might
take two years. In my house, all systems
should be go by spring.
Lily and viburnum seeds also respond to
this treatment.
For tender young seedlings, a reluctance to
sprout as soon as they hit moist soil often
makes sense. In a climate characterized by
cold winters and periodic drought, a wild tree
peony seedling does well not to rear its head
until its sure that winter is over and its got
the support of an established root system.
DORMANCY REFLECTS
NATURAL CONDITIONS
Other germination quirks reect other natu-
ral environments. Some seeds have a double
dormancy, one for the seedcoat and one for
the embryo. Still others goldenseal, for
example ripen with underdeveloped
embryos. That warm then cold treatment also
prepares seeds with either of these quirks for
germination.
In places with consistent moisture through-
out the year, it is winter cold that would snuff
out any young sprout that began growing in
the fall. So seeds of many of our native plants
wont sprout until they feel that winter is over,
a condition that could be mimicked by a cou-
ple of months in the refrigerator in a sandwich
bag along with moist potting soil. While
doing time in the refrigerator, its not unusual
for a whole batch of seeds to sprout in unison,
as if a switch has been turned on, even before
theyre released into warmth.
Hormones in seeds are what bring them to
life at the appropriate moment. Although the
seeds appear to be lying lifeless in a bag on a
refrigerator shelf, all sorts of things are going
on hormonally. Levels, for instance, of a ger-
mination inhibitor called abscisic acid are
decreasing, while levels of another hormone,
gibberellic acid, are increasing. These hor-
mones have been extracted from seeds or syn-
thesized, and some seeds shed their normal
reluctance to sprout with nothing more than a
dip in an appropriate concentration of gib-
berellic acid. All is not so simple, though,
because other hormones also are at work and
other compounds, such as potassium nitrate,
can, for unknown reasons, also promote ger-
mination.
MECHANICAL INHIBITION
Lets not blame dormancy only on hor-
mones; some seeds stay asleep for purely
mechanical reasons. The tough seedcoats of
honeylocust, black locust and black cohosh
are among those that cannot imbibe water as
soon as their seeds hit the ground. And a seed
that remains dry inside will not sprout.
In nature, these tough coats are eventually
softened as soil microbes chew away at them,
by cycles of freezing and thawing, by abra-
sion and by passage through animals.
Microbes work best at warm temperatures, so
a couple of months in a sandwich bag along
with some moist potting soil could awaken
these seeds just as they do those of tree
peonies.
The potting soil, in this case, should contain
some real soil or compost to supply living
organisms to work on the seedcoats. Nicking
seeds with a le or carefully nipping at them
with a wire cutter also lets water penetrate.
The easiest pretreatment is that needed by
many grasses and most annual owers and
vegetables. Seeds of these plants need nothing
more than a period of dry storage of from one
to six months before theyll germinate. Cold
is not needed but does keep them fresh longer,
so my vegetable and ower seeds are waiting
out winter sitting in airtight plastic boxes in
my garage.
Some seeds need coaxing to sprout
In a climate characterized by cold winters and periodic drought, a wild tree peony seedling
does well not to rear its head until its sure that winter is over and its got the support of an
established root system.

Portfolio Development Partners, led a
countersuit to overturn the councils
decision.
In the meantime, the company is run-
ning the store at 501 N. San Mateo Drive
like a model store, said Robert Young, 7-
Elevens local market manager.
There are no plans to franchise the
store now and the store is still not selling
beer and wine, said Young, who oversees
about 80 stores in the region.
The company is seeking to transfer the
beer and wine license from the former
Stangelinis Italian Deli, however, from
the state Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control.
Almost everybody likes to buy beer
and wine as a convenience, Young said.
But, at this point, we havent decided to
carry beer and wine.
When the store was set to open,
pledges were made that it would close
voluntarily from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. but the
store is now open 24 hours a day.
If you have a sick child at 3 a.m. you
can run down to 7-Eleven and get medi-
cine, he said.
But nearby residents say that breaking
the pledge is another example of it not
being a good neighbor.
Residents complained during a public
process that the store would bring
increased crime, trafc and litter to the
mostly residential area.
7-Eleven, however, has listened to the
community, Young said, and has limited
deliveries to the store between 6 a.m.
and 10 p.m.
The store has also requested that its
garbage pickup be pushed back to a later
hour, Young said.
Six times a day, store employees make
a four-block trek six times a day to clear
litter, even out of yards, Young said.
The store even has a guest journal that
nearby residents can lodge complaints,
he said.
The store has also dimmed its lights,
he said.
Its not really the spaceship its been
described as, Young said.
With excellent customer service, fresh
fruit and outreach efforts, the store is
trying to pay attention to what the
neighbors are looking for, Young said.
Many residents in the neighborhood
disagree, however.
The new 7-Eleven good neighbor
policy in no way excuses its bad neigh-
bor behavior prior to opening. Neither
does it excuse them from violating city
codes, which they are doing by continu-
ing to operate, Jeanne McCarthy wrote
the Daily Journal in an email.
Emily Slichter, who often represented
the neighborhood during the public
process, said trash is still prolic near
the stores and deliveries are still made at
odd hours.
It is wrong to think the 7-Eleven is a
good neighbor. Nothing it has represent-
ed in the past has come to fruition. There
is no reason to believe its promises of
community outreach are legitimate,
Slichter wrote the Daily Journal in an
email.
Some said the companys effort to be a
good neighbor now is too late.
If 7-Elevens good intentions were
discussed nearly a year ago, they might
appear more genuine than they do in this
post-decision display of disingenuous-
ness. Instead, there was deception from
the very beginning regarding the neigh-
bor market and a lack of real and honest
discourse amongst the citizens affected,
Fred Chiappe wrote the Daily Journal in
an email.
Some contend the neighborhood is
trashier than ever now that the 7-Eleven
has moved in.
I still nd cellophane wrappers, ciga-
rette butts and receipts in my front yard
landscaping every day, Annie Coull
wrote the Daily Journal in an email. She
resides at 503 N. San Mateo Drive, right
next door to the store.
But Young said he hears people say
good things about the store all the time.
Many seniors at a local complex, he
said, have found the store and nd it
convenient.
It saves them from having to take a
taxi to the grocery store. They say were
happy you are here, Young said.

7-ELEVEN
By Lynn Elber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES After putting yet
another wearying, bitterly fought national
election behind us, do we really need a
sitcom set in the White House?
Yes, said Jason Winer, a creator of
NBCs newcomer 1600 Penn, because
its about a family in a colorful setting,
not politics, and because its a custom-
made showcase for The Book of
Mormon sensation Josh Gad, not part of
a partisan agenda.
Winer and Gad met when the actor
auditioned for the Modern Family pilot
directed by Winer. Gad jumped to
Broadway instead for some silly play,
as a wisecracking Winer put it. Fast for-
ward, and the two were noodling about a
project to collaborate on.
He does such a great job playing a lov-
able idiot manchild, Winer said of the
actor who excels at chubby-cheeked imp-
ishness. We tried to gure out an envi-
ronment for that, like a bull in a china
shop. And whats the biggest china shop
in the world? Its the White House.
Expensive china gets broken, and not
just guratively, in 1600 Penn (9:30
p.m. EST Thursday), which serves up
large helpings of silli-
ness and slapstick
ignited by Gad.
He plays Skip, the
free-spirited, bum-
bling oldest child of
President Dale
Gilchrist (Bill
Pullman, a mellower
chief executive than
in Independence
Day) and stepson to
first lady and lawyer Emily (Jenna
Elfman). His siblings include the chroni-
cally perfect Becca (Martha MacIsaac),
whose one slip led to a one-night-stand
pregnancy.
Gad is a solo whirlwind but benets
from comedic chemistry with sitcom pro
Elfman (Dharma and Greg). She gets to
display her Michelle Obama-esque toned
arms, which in one episode delivered a
right hook to media banality with help
from a real NBC journalist.
When the president and rst lady take
part in a TV interview to lobby for a key
education bill, an insistent Savannah
Guthrie of Today instead wants Emily
to share exercise tips for those great
pipes.
Its the kind of swipe that the show may
take at Washington itself while remaining
apolitical, said Winer, adding, I think
people will be hard-pressed to determine
what party the president is a member of.
Such careful neutrality is typical for TV
shows despite Hollywoods reputation as
a liberal bastion, according to Tim
Brooks, a former network executive and
co-author of The Complete Directory to
Prime Time Network and Cable TV
Shows.
His book includes several examples,
including mostly uffy sitcoms The
Governor and J.J. and Benson. Its
scant exceptions include The West
Wing, with a hard-charging Democratic
president played by Martin Sheen.
The reason is simple, Brooks said.
Controversy and selling cars and soap
dont go together very well. Sponsors
usually run from that sort of thing, he
said. Networks, whether broadcast or
basic cable, dont want to take chances
to alienate advertisers.
Premium cable network can be bolder,
which is why HBO is home to West
Wing creator Aaron Sorkins new drama
The Newsroom. Series star Jeff Daniels
plays an anchor whos emboldened to
uncover the truth largely consisting
of a left-wingers dream agenda.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Margaret Jeanne Remirez
Case Number 122743
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Margaret Jeanne Remir-
ez. A Petition for Probate has been filed
by Rita Herman in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Rita
Herman be appointed as personal repre-
sentative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to the
probate. The will and any codicils are
available for examination in the file kept
by the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: March 04, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you ob-
ject to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state
your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by your
attorney. If you are a creditor or a con-
tingent creditor of the decedent, you
must file your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representa-
tive appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters as provided in Probate Code sec-
tion 9100. The time for filing claims will
not expire before four months from the
hearing date noticed above. You may
examine the file kept by the court. If you
are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing
of an inventory and appraisal of estate
assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250.
A Request for Special Notice form is
available from the court clerk.
