Apopular Redwood Shores bird-watching
pond was drained Friday as ofcials try con-
taining an outbreak of avian cholera they
believe is behind the death of 150 ducks in
the past week.
The South Bayside System Authoritys
pond technically called a landscape
impoundment at 1400 Radio Road in south-
east Redwood Shores draws tens of thou-
sands of birds and birdwatchers. But ducks
began dying Friday, Jan. 3 and U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service officials think the
avian cholera conrmed in Hayward has
spread to the Peninsula.
Fish and Wildlife has collected dead birds
and sent them to a facility for necropsies
and conrmation of the suspected cause.
The removal of the remaining fowl and
draining of the pond is a preemptive move,
said SBSAManager Dan Child.
Child said SBSAspoke with several agen-
cies about the situation and ultimately made
the call to nip the problem by eliminating
the water.
It is believed that draining the area is in
the best interest of the health of the birds
that frequent the area, Child said in an
email to the Daily Journal.
Although avian cholera can be fatal to
waterfowl, gulls and other species, it does
not pose a threat to humans, Melisa Amato,
wildlife refuge specialist and hunt program
coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Services, Don Edwards San Francisco Bay
National Wildlife Refuge, said in a prepared

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Daly City man convicted of leav-
ing his seriously injured passenger for
hours inside a crashed car off an
embankment before returning to move
the man into the drivers seat ahead of
authorities arrival was sentenced
Friday to ve years in prison.
Jurors deliberated less than three
hours in November before finding
Henock Admassu, 24, guilty of felony
drunk driving causing injury, felony
driving with more than a blood alco-
hol of .08 causing injury and causing
great bodily injury.
According to prosecutors, on Dec.
10, 2012, Admassu
called 911 to say he
was involved in an
accident but was dis-
oriented and unclear
where he left the
vehicle containing
an injured passen-
ger. About 45 min-
utes later, he arrived
at his sisters home
and awoke her with
the same story. They reportedly spent
the next few hours driving around
looking for the spot and called 911
again around 4 a.m. to report the vehi-
cles location 300 feet down off an
embankment off Skyline Boulevard.
When Daly City police and the
California Highway Patrol arrived,
they reportedly spotted Admassu
pulling the passenger from a Dodge
Charger and pushing him back into the
drivers side seat. Admassu was unin-
jured in the crash and, seven hours
after, his blood alcohol level was .05.
Admassu had been free on $150,000
bail through the trial but was immedi-
ately taken into custody on increased
bail of $250,000 once the verdict
came in.
He has credit of 140 days against the
ve-year sentence. He faced up to six
years in prison.

A Daly City bank teller who stole
$119,600 from a 91-year-old cus-
tomer both before and after his death
and, with her boyfriend, spent nearly
$25,000 of the funds was sentenced
to a year in jail and banned from hold-
ing a position of trust for any elder
adult.
Priscilla Banh, 24, must also repay
more than $10,000 to Wells Fargo
bank. Banh pleaded guilty to felony
counts of elder theft and identity theft
in return for no more than three years
prison. Instead,
she received the
year jail with credit
of 296 days fol-
lowed by three
years of supervised
probation.
Her boyfriend,
Jabriel Scott, 23,
pleaded no contest
to misdemeanor
grand theft in return for credit of time
served and was already sentenced to
90 days jail and two years court pro-
bation.
Banh worked as a teller at Wells
Fargo bank and occasionally helped
the elderly man with his financial
transactions. Beginning on July 13,
Banh opened three accounts in his
name and linked them to her debit
card, according to the District
Attorneys Office.
Over the next month, she allegedly
transferred nearly $120,000 from his
account and the couple made $24,620
in purchases. What they spent the
money on or how they were caught
was not immediately known.
The man died July 17.

Caretaker imprisoned for hitting elderly man
Acaretaker accused of hitting a now-deceased 88-year-old
Millbrae man over the head with a walker two years ago was
sentenced Friday to seven years in prison
for assault and physical elder abuse.
Jalome Sukulu Balekaba, 51, pleaded
no contest in October for up to seven
years which is what he received along
with credit still to be calculated for time
served while in custody on $200,000
bail. He faced 11 years in prison if hed
stood trial and been convicted by a jury.
Balekaba worked as a caretaker for the
man and, during a Dec. 19, 2011, phone
call with his nephew, reportedly sounded
intoxicated, according to the District Attorneys Ofce.
The nephew contacted the Sheriffs Offices Millbrae
Bureau for a welfare check and police reported nding
Balekaba asleep in his room while the man was in a living
room chair bleeding profusely from the head. The man was
hospitalized where he was treated for a stroke and became
comatose. He died 10 weeks later.
Investigators cannot conclusively prove the alleged
strike led to the mans death 10 weeks later which is why
Balekaba was charged with felony counts of assault and
physical elder abuse rather than homicide.

Virgin Galactic spaceship makes successful flight
MOJAVE Virgin Galactics SpaceShipTwo has made its
third rocket-powered supersonic flight in the Mojave
Desert, soaring to a record 71,000 feet.
The company says the reusable space vehicle was carried
by airplane to 46,000 feet Friday and then released. The
craft used its rocket motor the rest of the way to reach its
highest altitude to date.
SpaceShipTwo and its two-member crew then glided to a
safe landing in the desert north of Los Angeles.
Virgin Galactic says the 10-minute test ight moves the
company closer to its goal of ying paying passengers into
space.
No date has been set for the rst commercial ight but
hundreds of would-be tourists have made down payments for
the chance to y.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry
Browns proposal to redirect $250 mil-
lion from Californias landmark effort
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
spend it instead on his beleaguered bul-
let train has renewed debate about the
future of the contentious project.
In defending that part of the budget
proposal he released this week, Brown
pitched the $68 billion rail line as the
perfect way to unite a fractured state
and help California pull together to
form a greater community.
His proposal does appear to be unit-
ing many lawmakers and interest
groups, but perhaps not in the way the
governor intended. Some Democrats
who have supported high-speed rail
have joined their Republican col-
leagues in rejecting Browns funding
idea, and environmental groups are
lukewarm at best on it.
They say the money should be used
to improve Californias air quality
today and not go to a project that is
decades away from being nished, if it
is ever built at all.
The project has been dogged by set-
backs in recent months. In November,
a Sacramento County Superior Court
judge rescinded the rail authoritys
funding plan, ordering it to get more
environmental clearances and show
how it will pay for the rst 300 miles
of work, agreeing that the voter-
approved initiative that authorized
funding for the bullet train required it.
That segment alone is projected to
cost $31 billion.
The judge also blocked the further
sale of some $9 billion in bonds that
were approved in the 2008 ballot
measure, money the state had planned
to use to start work in the Central
Valley.
Brown has been steadfast in his
efforts to keep the high-speed rail
dream alive.
On Thursday, he compared the proj-
ect to building the Golden Gate Bridge,
the transcontinental railroad and the
Panama Canal, all of which he said
faced criticisms, skepticism and
attack.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Best friends, colleagues at a major law
rm and now founders of a new boutique
rm, two women are embarking on their
second year running their own group all
while one had a baby.
Mary Lin, 40, and Quynh Tran, 45, of-
cially launched the Bay Wealth Legal Group
Jan. 18, 2013. They originally met at the
Burlingame-based Carr McClellan Ingersoll
Thompson Horn and became fast friends,
both working in the estate planning depart-
ment.
In a nutshell, it was a really great friend-
ship that turned into a really great partner-
ship, said Tran, who attended University of
California at Los Angeles for law school and
was at Carr McClellan for more than 13
years. It was tough decision because I had
been there a long time and had strong rela-
tionships with the attorneys there, but I
always thought I wanted to have more con-
trol over my practice.
The group Anderson Yazdi Hwang Minton
+ Horn LLP of the estate planning group in
Carr McClellan also recently formed from
the original practice. Lin and Tran, who
have more than 27 years of combined law
practicing experience, said its a trend for
estate planning practices to separate from
rms.
Apparently we started a trend, laughed
Tran.
Lin adds they have more exibility at
their own rm.
Estate planning is unique because we
work with more individuals and families
instead of companies, so its a very person-
al relationship, said Lin, who is originally
from Canada and graduated from Harvard Law
School. Its been fabulous and part of the
reason we started the rm was that we saw a
real need in the marketplace and our
instincts were correct.
Their new practice is in Redwood City
since its a midpoint between San Francisco
and Silicon Valley and they can serve a
diverse client base here, they said.
The women put in as many as 100 hours a
week when they rst began the rm and Lin
gave birth to a baby boy nine months ago.
She admitted she was up working until 2
a.m. or 3 a.m. the night before her scheduled
labor induction when her husband told her
she needed to stop working. She does have
the help of a nanny and her husband, she
said.
Its definitely not good for work-life
balance, she said. Its for pure profes-
sional satisfaction.
Lins and Trans lives mirror each other in
many ways. Both are married to lawyers,
live in San Carlos and have two sons. Both
are also fluent in languages other than
English, which they say helps them serve a
diverse group of clients. Lin speaks
Mandarin, while Tran knows Vietnamese.
The two are so close and involved in their
Legal duo marks first year on their own

Gold shop gunfire leads to arrests
Two men are in custody after a AR-15 type assault rifle
and shotgun were discharged inside the We Buy Gold
shop at 3301 Middlefield Road in unincorporated San
Mateo County in the presence of a child Thursday evening,
according to the Sheriffs Office.
At approximately 6:39 p.m., deputies were called to the
location after receiving reports of multiple gunshots heard
inside the business in the North Fair Oaks area. Deputies
found the business locked and saw four men and a small
child inside. Two men inside, who initially refused to open
the doors, were determined to be the owners of the busi-
ness, according to the Sheriffs Office.
No one was found to be injured but deputies found
firearms including automatic rifles, shotguns and hand-
guns, expended casings and stolen computer equipment
inside the business.
The child was determined to be the 3-year-old son of one
of the men and released to his mother. The other two men
inside the business were determined to be uninvolved in
any criminal activity and released, according to the
Sheriffs Office.
The men taken into custody were Pedro Aguilar-Baltazar,
23, and Jorge Conde-Cardona, 34, both of Redwood City,
according to the Sheriffs Office.

Bank robbery suspect arrested
A Boulder Creek man is in custody after robbing the
Wells Fargo bank at 1900 Broadway in Redwood City
Friday morning, according to police.
At approximately 9:30 a.m., the man entered the bank
and handed a note to a bank employee demanding money.
The employee started to retrieve the money while alerting
another employee who called 911. Officers quickly
responded and established a perimeter around the bank.
The employee who called 911 stayed on the line to report
progress, a description and direction of travel once the
man left. He was quickly taken into custody as he exited
the bank, according to police. The man arrested was
Douglas Taylor, 55, according to police.
More flu deaths reported
Two more influenza-related deaths were reported in
Alameda County Friday after the state Department of
Public health announced fatal infections of the virus from
throughout the state.
There have been three cases of H1N1 strains of the flu
leading to deaths in Alameda County since the beginning
of the winter season, county public health department
spokeswoman Sherri Willis said.
One was reported earlier this week and two more con-
firmed cases came in Friday, she said.
The three make for a total of 11 flu deaths that have been
reported in Bay Area counties, including two in Marin
County, two in Santa Clara County and one each in San
Mateo, Sonoma, Contra Costa and San Francisco coun-
ties.
California Department of Public Health doctors said
seven confirmed influenza deaths of people under age 65
have been reported this season up until Jan. 4. There are
28 more influenza-related deaths are under investigation.
Six of the seven deaths reported by the state were from
the H1N1 strain.
The seven deaths as of Jan. 4 were in Alameda, Contra
Costa, San Francisco, Lassen, Los Angeles, Sacramento
and Stanislaus counties.
STATE GOVERNMENT
State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, introduced a bill Friday to pro-
hibit the sale of data collected by auto-

chair. The board has nine members, with three representatives
from each of the three counties through which the rail service
operates San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara.
The San Mateo County Transit District Board of

CITY GOVERNMENT
The Redwood City Council will receive a staff report
on the status of the Inner Harbor Speci c Plan which
has been in the works since June 2013 when the 15-member
task force began meeting. On Jan. 14, the task force will
start folding the technical reports into the specic plan.
The City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 13 at City
Hall, 1017 Middleeld Road, Redwood City.
The San Carlos City Council will consider authoriz-
ing the city manager to issue requests for proposals for a
hotel at the landmark site. The city is purchasing three
parcels for $13.69 million with hopes of building a hotel
which could bring in up to $1 million in revenue. The city
will consider several factors in choosing a developer includ-
ing constructing the project at a prevailing wage, the
amount of city help needed, the scal benets and commu-
nity engagement.
The City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 13 at City
Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.
The Burlingame Parks and Recreat i on
Department is holding a meeting 10 a.m. Saturday at
Cuernava Park, Hunt and Alcazar drives in Burlingame to
discuss options for off-leash dog hours. The department has
been meeting with dog owners regarding dog off-leash hours
within the city recently. Many ideas have been discussed and
researched and one idea was to use ball elds to increase the
options of off-leash areas. One of the benets to using a ball
eld is that it is a fenced in area. Currently, Cuernavaca Park
has off-leash hours daily from 6 a.m.-7:30 a.m. on the
grass area along Hunt Drive. The city is interested in explor-
ing the idea of using the ball eld in addition for hours after
7:30 a.m. The addition of off-leash hours would not affect
the eld usage by sports groups.

Serra High School,
San Mateo. He was
currently attending

enrolled at San Francisco State
University where he was going to
complete his major in business.
Adding to the heartbreak of losing
Julian so young is the loss of the enor-

Fatal beating suspect to trial
The man accused of beating a fellow Belmont bar patron
to death after exchanging words over the victims female
friend last April will stand trial for murder
and causing great bodily injury.
Joseph Patrick Kaufman, of San
Carlos, has pleaded not guilty but, after a
preliminary hearing Friday, was held to
answer for the death of 48-year-old
Barney Hanepen. Kaufman allegedly beat
Hanepen outside the Lariat Tavern on
April 29 and he died May 2.
Kaufman, 23, and Hanepen were drink-
ing separately at the bar and, after it
closed at 2:15 a.m., reportedly got into
an argument outside. Kaufman allegedly punched Hanepen
in the face, pushing him to the ground and repeatedly kick-
ing him in the head and torso until the man lost conscious-
ness. Hanepen suffered broken vertebrae, fractures to his
orbital bones, broken teeth and brain bleeding. Police
found him lying in the street and he remained hospitalized
in critical condition until his death.
At Fridays hearing, four prosecution witnesses testied
and the defense presented no evidence.
Kaufman is being held without bail and returns to court
Jan. 31 to enter a Superior Court plea and potentially set a
trial date.

WASHINGTON The Republican-led
House voted overwhelmingly Friday to bolt
new security requirements onto President
Barack Obamas health care law, with 67
Democrats breaking ranks to join with the
GOP. It was the rst skirmish of what is cer-
tain to be a long and contentious election-
year ght .
The vote was 291-122 with Republicans
relentlessly focusing on Obamacare, con-
vinced that Americans unease with the trou-
bled law will translate into signicant elec-
tion gains in November. Dozens of
Democrats, nervous about their re-election
chances or their campaigns for other
ofces, voted for the GOP bill.
Americans have the right to know if the
presidents health care law has put their per-
sonal information at risk, and todays
bipartisan vote reects that concern, said
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
Among the Democrats joining the
Republicans was Rep. Steve Israel of New
York, the chairman of his partys campaign
committee dedicated to electing Democrats.
I voted for this bill because I want to
make sure condential information is pro-
tected. Thats just common sense, Israel
said in a statement. This is an added con-
sumer safeguard on top of the many con-
sumer protections in the law that already
exist.
The bill would require the secretary of
health and human services to notify an
individual within two business days of any
security breach involving personal data
provided to the government through the
health care website HealthCare.gov.
White House press secretary Jay Carney
said Friday that the administration opposes
the measure as an unnecessary and costly
burden. He said the government already has
imposed stringent security standards, uses
sensors and other tools to deter unautho-
rized access and conducts regular testing.
He said Americans will be notied if per-
sonal information has been compromised.
Several House Democrats said the meas-
ure was a GOP message bill designed to
scare people away from enrolling in cover-
age.
The bill stands no chance for final
approval in the Democratic-led Senate.
Elsewhere on Friday:
The administration said it was parting
ways with the lead outside contractor for the
sign-up website, which had to be rebuilt
after its disastrous launch last fall.
Obama lunched at a Washington restau-
rant with ve young people to call attention
to a need for young Americans to enroll for
insurance through the law. The administra-
tion needs millions of Americans, but espe-
cially young, healthier people, to enroll to
keep prices low for everyone.
On Capitol Hill, Republicans said their
legislation on the overhaul addressed
potential security breaches, though they
offered no specic examples of compro-
mised information to this point. Instead,
they pointed to the recent security breach at
Target Corp. The nations second-largest
retailer said Friday that personal informa-
tion connected to about 70 million cus-
tomers through credit and debit card
accounts had been stolen in a pre-Christmas
data breach.
Former Reagan spokesman
Larry Speakes dies at 74
JACKSON, Miss. Larry Speakes, who
spent six years as acting press secretary for
President Ronald
Reagan, died Friday in
his native Mississippi.
He was 74.
Speakes died at home
in Cleveland, Miss.,
where he had lived the
past several years, said
Bolivar County Coroner
Nate Brown. Brown said
Speakes had Alzheimers
disease.
He died in his sleep and it was a natural
death, Brown said.
Speakes was buried in North Cleveland
Cemetery during a private service Friday
morning, a few hours after dying, said
Kenny Williams of Cleveland Funeral
Home.
Speakes became Reagans acting
spokesman after Press Secretary James
Brady was wounded during an assassination
attempt on Reagan in 1981.
Damage-control worries
followed New Jersey lane closings
TRENTON, N.J. Officials squabbled
over media leaks and worried about bad pub-
licity in the days after
lane closings near the
George Washington
Bridge caused huge trafc
jams that now appear to
have been politically
orchestrated by a member
of Gov. Chris Christies
administration and key
allies, documents
released Friday show.
In the documents, ofcials appointed by
Christie seemed more concerned about the
political fallout than the effects of the grid-
lock in the town of Fort Lee during four
mornings in September.
Chemical spill brings West
Virginia capital to standstill
CHARLESTON, W.Va. Achemical spill
left the water for 300,000 people in and
around West Virginias capital city stained
blue-green and smelling like licorice, with
ofcials saying Friday it was unclear when
it might be safe again to even take showers
and do laundry.
Federal authorities began investigating
how the foaming agent escaped a chemical
plant and seeped into the Elk River. Just
how much of the chemical leaked into the
river was not yet known.
Air Force drug probe
grows to 10 ofcers
WASHINGTON An Air Force investiga-
tion into alleged drug use in the ranks has
expanded to include 10 ofcers at six bases
in the U.S. and Britain.
Nine lieutenants and one captain are
being investigated for illegal possession of
recreational drugs, Air Force spokesman Lt.
Col. Brett Ashworth said Friday. The case
began with the investigation of two ofcers
at Edwards Air Force Base in California and
quickly widened to several other bases
because of the airmens contacts with others
about drug possession, he said.
The probe surfaced Thursday as Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel visited F.E. Warren
Air Force Base in Wyoming to give a pep
talk to members of the nuclear missile
force. Initially, ofcials revealed that two
nuclear launch control officers at
Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana were
being investigated for drug use.
Court to rule on television
over Internet service
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court will
decide whether a startup company can offer
live television broadcasts over the Internet
without paying fees to broadcasters.
The high court agreed on Friday to hear an
appeal from television broadcast networks
in their attempt to shut down Aereo Inc.,
which takes free signals from the airwaves
and sends them over the Internet to paying
subscribers.
Broadcasters have sued Aereo for copy-
right infringement. The big networks have
supplemented their advertising revenue
with fees from cable and satellite TV com-
panies for redistributing their stations to
subscribers. If customers drop their pay-TV
service and use Aereo, broadcasters would
lose some of that revenue.
GOP House targets health care law; 67 Dems join in
Americans have the right to know if the presidents
health care law has put their personal information at
risk, and todays bipartisan vote reects that concern.

OPINION 9
Here we go again
Editor,
Just when I thought it was safe to
read the Daily Journal on the week-
ends, and then what do I see: another
Republican/tea party writers piece
titled Billionaire bullies in the Jan.
4 issue of the Daily Journal. Here we
go again! John McDowell writes
about all the Democratic-leaning bil-
lionaire bullies who are trying to
inuence our political voting process
in America. Apparently, McDowell
thinks its OK for the Republican/tea
party billionaires to use their wealth
to inuence and corrupt Americas
political voting system, but its not
OK for any Democratic-leaning bil-
lionaires or unions to do the same
thing. Now, dont get me wrong, I
think it is wrong and illegal for bil-
lionaires of any political party to use
their wealth in a manner that inu-
ences or corrupts our political voting
system.
McDowells piece smells of the
same old Republican/tea party atti-
tudes like: I got mine, who cares
about anyone else; its me, myself
and I; its OK for Republicans to do it
because were better than you; or,
lastly, Im a Republican, I have selec-
tive memory.
McDowells selective memory has
seemed to kick in, as he forgot to
mention the Koch Brothers and their
nancial inuence of our government
and political process, especially any-
thing that is anti-President Obama.
And there are more Republican bil-
lionaires and other secretive groups
that are also using their money to
inuence our government and politi-
cal process.
Nice try, McDowell. The American
people are smarter than you think and
they know that its Republicans who
will do anything to get their way, no
matter what the effect is on the rest of
the country. Look at our Congress.
Michael R. Oberg

Billionaire bullies
Editor,
Alie by omission is when an
important truth or set of facts in left
out in order to foster a misconcep-
tion. I completely agree with John
McDowells warning that Acabal of
1 percenters are using their riches to
push their own agendas (Billionaire
bullies in the Jan. 4 issue of the
Daily Journal). What I nd startling,
is his piece mentions only left-lean-
ing political donors. How is it that he
managed to nd room in his article to
mention everyone from Gandalf to
Joseph Stalin and left out their
brethren on the right, such as the
Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson and
the late Harold Simmons among
many, many others, who actually
account for the lions share of this
kind of thing? The political right in
this country has been pushing for
both an end to limits on the amounts
wealthy individuals can shovel into
politics and also for greater secrecy
for large political donors. Isnt this
exactly the kind of Power of the
Shadow McDowell supposedly
opposes?
This is not a right versus left issue.
As a moderate independent, I believe
we should know who is trying to
inuence our elections and elected
ofcials and why. Large and largely
anonymous outside donors are pour-
ing millions into local campaigns all
over the country in an effort to
advance personal and ideological
agendas and it is soiling our democra-
cy. Telling the truth is good but
telling all of it is way better.

Presidential misstatements
Editor,
Al-Qaida is capturing major cities
in Iraq as well taking over parts of
Syria (not to mention its powerful
presence in Yemen, Libya and numer-
ous other places). Now didnt our
president reassure us in his election
speeches that al-Qaida was decimat-
ed and on the run? But perhaps we
shouldnt be too shocked by mis-
statements like this from our leader.
After all, didnt we hear President
Obamas election speeches telling us
we could keep our health plans too?

Letters to the editor
By Jackie Speier
T
he 13th Amendment made
slavery unconstitutional in
1865. But modern day slavery
exists today, both in the U.S. and
globally. An estimated 30 million
people worldwide are in bondage for
sex or labor. Between 100,000 and
300,000 minors are sold for sex in
our country every single year. These
girls and boys as young as 13 years
old are sold over and over again which
makes sex trafcking one of the most
protable and fastest growing crimes.
January is Human Trafficking
Awareness month; ironically it leads
up to one of the biggest days for traf-
fickers: Super Bowl Sunday on Feb.
2. Hundreds of thousands of visitors
will descend on New Jersey, many of
them not only to watch the game,
but to have sex with a minor. Pimps
from all over the world will fly and
drive in their trafficking victims to
feed this cycle.
All sporting
events are destina-
tions for trafckers,
but girls and boys
are exploited every
day. Sex trafcking
happens in our
communities in
plain sight, but
most of us dont recognize it. Thats
why it is so important to raise aware-
ness of this horric crime that entan-
gles our daughters and sons in a
prison they dont know how to
escape. We have to stop thinking of
prostitution as a victimless crime;
these children are traumatized victims
who deserve to be alive, safe and
given a chance. I know how paralyz-
ing trauma can feel, thats why we
have an obligation to help these vic-
tims become survivors. Our country
cannot tolerate the sale of human
beings. Together we can stamp out
this shameful epidemic.

National Human Trafficking Awareness Day
Conservatism
for everyone
By John McDowell
O
ne thing about living in California, we get to be
on the leading edge of national trends. Whether
its Hula-Hoops or skateboards, ne wine or fusion
cuisine, California leads the way. The same is true in poli-
tics. Tax revolts, gay marriage and government by initia-
tive all had their start here. Now, the demographic change
that will sweep American has happened here as well.
The U.S Census Bureau reports that less than 40 percent
of Californians are of European heritage, with no one racial
or ethnic group making up a majority of
residents. Moreover, Hispanics already
make up 52 percent of our states public
school enrollment, with whites con-
tributing only 26 percent of students in
grades K-12.
Who should be concerned about this?
Conservatives and the center/right,
thats who. In todays political world,
demography can be destiny and conser-
vatives will need to adjust to the
changes ahead.
Henry Olsen, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public
Policy Center, lays out the challenge in the winter issue of
National Affairs. In 2012, 72 percent of the electorate was
white and Mitt Romney won their votes 59 percent to 39
percent. Yet, he lost the presidential election. He lost by
four points because non-white voters went for Obama over
Romney by 63 percent. These voters will soon be a majori-
ty in California, and they are growing throughout the coun-
try.
Olsen also notes that 74 percent of voters thought a pres-
ident should share my values, or is a strong leader, or
has a vision for the future and those who valued these
characteristics went for Romney by nine to 23 points.
However, Romney lost voters who thought a president
should care about people like me by more than 60 points.
There it is. Minority voters, who are growing in
strength, decided the last presidential election. And, they
thought that Mitt Romney didnt care about people like
them.
The Republican National Committee concurs in this
analysis. After the election, the RNC commissioned a
report to determine what went wrong. Among its ndings
were that former Republican voters describe the national
party as out of touch and as the Party of stuffy old men.
Moreover, minority voters simply did not believe that the
GOP or its nominee cared about them.
Romney also lost households earning less than $50,000
per year (half the country) by 38 percent to 60 percent.
Losing half the country by such a decisive margin is no
recipe for national electoral victory.
Olsen describes a solution for center/right Republicans,
and I concur. He believes that contrary to our Libertarian
and some tea party friends Americans, particularly those
in the middle class (white and non-white), are looking for a
government that will address their real needs and concerns
while not smothering them with taxes, regulation and man-
dates. In other words, a hand up, not a handout.
To connect with a majority of these voters, conservatives
must offer a positive platform and describe what they are
for rather than what they oppose. Not everyone is a tech
entrepreneur, not everyone owns a business. Most just want
to raise a family in a stable environment, see their children
succeed, volunteer to improve their communities, serve God
as they understand him and retire with dignity. How conser-
vatives connect with that way of life as Ronald Reagan
did with his shining city on a hill will determine their
electoral success.
Republican leaders in California understand the need for a
positive agenda that addresses how families of all kinds can
lead the life they seek, whether their desire is to make it
big, or simply make it through. Senate Republican Leader
Bob Huff recently wrote that, Were going to show
California that Republicans believe government can work
efciently by doing what its supposed to do: serve the peo-
ple. And, Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway
notes that Republican priorities are growing our economy,
providing a quality education to our children and protecting
our communities.
These are policies that will appeal to all voters. These are
policies that resonate with people who think that elected
leaders should care about people like me. California is
leading the way in demographic change, and its up to
Californias center/right to continue to respect that change
and develop policies that address the needs of all our citi-
zens.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEWYORK It was a uke.
That was the conclusion investors
reached about the U.S. governments
latest jobs report, which showed a
sharp decline in hiring last month.
Stock indexes ended mostly higher
after wavering for much of the day.
The gains were minuscule, however,
and there were a number of signs that
investors were being cautious. Prices
rose for bonds and gold, traditional
go-to assets for nervous investors.
Utilities and other kinds of low-risk,
high-dividend stocks also rose as
investors sought safe places to park
money.
We need to see more evidence
before concluding that all the other
(economic) indicators are wrong and
the jobs data is correct, said Kate
Warne, a market strategist with Edward
Jones.
The Dow Jones Industrial average
fell 7.71 points, or less than 0.1 per-
cent, to 16,437.05. If not for a slump
in Chevron, which reported a decline
in oil and gas production late
Thursday, the index would have risen
slightly.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 4.24 points, or 0.2 percent, to
1,842.37 and the Nasdaq composite
rose 18.47 points, or 0.4 percent, to
4,174.66.
The Labor Department said that only
74,000 jobs were added to payrolls in
December, the least in three years and
far fewer than economists expected.
The unemployment rate fell, but most-
ly because many people stopped look-
ing for work, the government said.
The December jobs survey stands in
contrast to weeks of reports consis-
tent with a steadily strengthening
economy. U.S. companies are selling
record levels of goods overseas;
Americans are buying more big items
like cars and appliances and layoffs
have dwindled. As recently as
Wednesday, the payroll processor ADP
said private businesses created
238,000 jobs in December.
If the recent U.S. economic picture
were a jigsaw puzzle, the jobs report is
the piece that didnt t .
The investor base was completely
shocked with how especially weak the
numbers were, said Tom di Galoma,
who heads up bond trading at ED&F
Man Capital.
Market strategists blamed the bad
jobs data on everything from the
unseasonably cold weather in
December to the fact that
Thanksgiving came later than usual.
Few believed the economic recovery
is slowing down.
Cautious investors took the data as a
reason to retreat into safer invest-
ments.
Bond prices rose, sending yields
lower. The yield on the 10-year
Treasury note fell to 2.87 percent from
2.97 percent the day before.
Utility stocks were among the
biggest gainers as investors looked to
pull back on risk. The Dow Jones util-
ity average, a basket of 15 utility
companies, rose 1.3 percent.
Consolidated Edison, Pacic Gas &
Electric, and Edison International
were all up roughly 1 percent or more.
Even gold prices went up, after hav-
ing a difcult 2013. Gold rose $17.50,
or 1.4 percent, to $1,246.90 an ounce
on the New York Mercantile
Exchange.
With Wall Street treating the
December jobs data as an aberration,
the place investors will look next for
guidance will be corporate earnings.
Investors spent the second half of
2013 bidding up stock price to his-
toric highs in hopes that the U.S. eco-
nomic recovery would translate into
higher prot s.
What really needs to come through
this year is earnings growth, said
Steve Rees, head U.S. equity strategy
for JPMorgan Private Bank.
On average, Wall Street is looking
for corporate earnings to be around 6
percent higher than they were last
year.
Very few companies have reported
their latest quarterly earnings, but so
far the results have not been promis-
i ng.
Stocks rise as investors dismiss job report
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON It came as a shock: U.S.
employers added just 74,000 jobs in
December, far fewer than anyone expected.
This from an economy that had been adding
nearly three times as many for four straight
months a key reason the Federal Reserve
decided last month to slow its economic
stimulus.
So what happened in December?
Economists struggled for explanations:
Unusually cold weather. Astatistical quirk. A
temporary halt in steady job growth.
Blurring the picture, a wave of Americans
stopped looking for work, meaning they
were no longer counted as unemployed.
Their exodus cut the unemployment rate
from 7 percent to 6.7 percent its lowest
point in more than ve years.
Fridays weak report from the Labor
Department was particularly surprising
because it followed a urry of data that had
pointed to a robust economy: U.S. compa-
nies are selling record levels of goods over-
seas. Americans are spending more on big
purchases like cars and appliances. Layoffs
have dwindled. Consumer condence is up
and debt levels are down. Builders broke
ground in November on the most new homes
in ve years.
The disappointing jobs report ies in the
face of most recent economic data, which are
pointing to a pretty strong fourth quarter,
said Sal Guatieri, an economist at BMO
Capital Markets.
Its unclear whether the sharp hiring slow-
down might lead the Federal Reserve to
rethink its plan to slow its stimulus efforts.
The Fed decided last month to pare its
monthly bond purchases, which have been
designed to lower interest rates to spur bor-
rowing and spending.
Janet Yellen, who will take over as Fed
chairman next month, is probably scratch-
ing her head looking at the report, said Sun
Wong Sohn, an economics professor at the
University of Californias Smith Business
School.
Certainly many economists were. Some
predicted that the job gain would be revised
up in the coming months. The government
adjusts each months jobs gure in the fol-
lowing two months as more companies
respond to its survey.
Few analysts saw the sharp slowdown as
the beginning of a much weaker trend.
There is a good possibility this is just a
one-shot deal that could either get revised
away or made up for in next months
release, Scott Anderson, chief economist
at Bank of the West, said in a note to
clients.
Cold weather affected the report in several
ways. Construction companies, which stop
work during bad weather, cut 16,000 jobs,
the most in 20 months. And the average
workweek dipped as more people worked
part time. An unusually large number of peo-
ple missed work in December because of the
weather, the governments surveys found.
Michael Hanson, an economist at Bank of
America Merrill Lynch, estimated that all
told, the cold weather lowered hiring by
about 75,000 jobs.
Surprisingly weak jobs report puzzles economists
By Anne DInnocenzio
and Michelle Chapman
NEWYORK Fallout from Targets pre-
Christmas security breach is likely to affect
the companys sales and prots well into
the new year.
The company disclosed on Friday that the
massive data theft was signicantly more
extensive and affected millions more shop-
pers than the company reported in
December. As a result of the breach, mil-
lions of Target customers have become vul-
nerable to identity theft, experts say.
The nations second largest discounter
said hackers stole personal information
including names, phone numbers as well as
email and mailing addresses from as
many as 70 million customers as part of a
data breach it discovered last month.
Target announced on Dec. 19 that some 40
million credit and debit card accounts had
been affected by a data breach that happened
between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 just as the
holiday shopping season was getting into
gear. As part of that announcement, the
company said customers names, credit and
debit card numbers, card expiration dates,
debit-card PINs and the embedded code on
the magnetic strip on the back of cards had
been stolen.
According to new information gleaned
from its investigation with the Secret
Service and the Department of Justice,
Target said Friday that criminals also took
non-credit card related data for some 70 mil-
lion shoppers who could have made pur-
chases at Target stores outside the late Nov.
to mid-Dec. timeframe.
Some overlap exists between the two data
sets, the company said Friday. That means
that more than 70 million people may have
had their data stolen.
The latest developments come as Target
said that just this week it was starting to see
sales recover from the crisis. The company,
however, cut its earnings outlook for the
quarter that covers the crucial holiday sea-
son and warned that sales would be down for
the crucial period.
Massive Target breach could have lasting effects
PALO ALTO Tesla Motors says it will
offer Model S customers new adapters to
assuage safety concerns of overheating.
The electric auto maker said Friday that
corrosion, faulty wiring of an electrical out-
let and other issues could cause an existing
adapter to overheat while the vehicle is
charging.
There had been multiple consumer com-
plaints to the National Highway Safety
Trafc Administration of smoke or re while
the car was plugged into the adapter for
charging.
Tesla already provided a software update in
December to address the problem. The new
software is designed to reduce the charge
current by 25 percent if it senses conditions
that could lead to overheating. The Palo
Alto, Calif.-based company says it does not
believe the new adapter is necessary, but is
providing as another layer of assurance to
customers. The improved wall adapter,
available in a few weeks, has a thermal fuse
to prevent current from flowing to the
device if an electrical socket heats up.
The NSHTAcould not be reached immedi-
ately for comment. Tesla did not return a
request for more information on incidents
related to the adapter.

Obama picks ex-Bank of
Israel head as No. 2 at Fed
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama took a step Friday toward reshaping
the Federal Reserve under
incoming chairman Janet
Yellen, choosing a lead-
ing expert on the global
economy to be her vice
chairman.
Obama said he will
nominate Stanley
Fischer, a former head of
the Bank of Israel, for
the No. 2 job at the Fed.
He would replace Yellen, who was conrmed
this week to lead the Fed.
Fischer, a dual citizen of the United States
and Israel, was a long-time professor at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Departing Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and
Mario Draghi, the current head of the
European Central Bank, were among his stu-
dents. Obama also is nominating Lael
Brainard as a Fed governor. Brainard served
as the undersecretary for international
affairs at Treasury during Obamas rst term.
She left the administration recently. He also
is renominating Jerome Powell to the Fed
for a second term.
All three nominations must be conrmed
by the Senate.

ANOTHER BARNBURNER: ARAGONS BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM HOLDS OFF MILLS, 57-56 >> PAGE 12
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There has been a shakeup at Woodside
High School as boys varsity basketball
coach Doug Fountain is no longer with the
team.
Wednesday, Woodside forfeited its
Peninsula Athletic League South Division
opener to Hillsdale.
Due to internal coaching changes in the
boys basketball program, we canceled
Wednesdays varsity game, said Woodside
Principal Diane Burbank in an email, for-
warded by Athletic Director Wendy Porter to
the Daily Journal.
The new varsity head coach is Jason
Llantero. The new JV head coach is Jesse
Richardson. We look forward to a successful
season.
A call to Fountain for comment was not
returned Friday.
Llantero was previously assisting the
Wildcats freshman team, while Richardson
was assistant on the junior varsity coaching
staff.
Woodside was off to a 5-7 start during the
preseason, but had won its nal two tune-
ups ahead of Wednesday PAL opener.
In his time with Woodside, Fountain was
17-21 and 5-7 in PAL play. Last year, he
went 12-14 overall and 5-7 in league play.
The Wildcats qualied for the Central Coast
Section playoffs, where the Wildcats went 1-
1.
It was going to be a bit of a rebuilding
year after graduating nine players from last
years squad but, with six returning players,
the Wildcats had a solid nucleus around
which to build.
Its the second time in three years

coach in the PAL. Two seasons ago,

SANTA CLARA Ever since Jim
Harbaugh arrived in San Francisco three
years ago to build the 49ers into a consistent
winner, a bruising offensive line has been the
backbone of the teams offensive success.
Whether its clearing holes for Frank Gore
or giving Colin Kaepernick enough time to
make big throws or scramble, the ve block-
ers up front have dictated how the offense has
played.
Thats why it stood out so much when that
unit was overmatched in November in a 10-9
loss to the Carolina Panthers that remains
prominent in the memories of the 49ers play-
ers heading into the playoff rematch on
Sunday.
Its one of those games where you wish
you could have it back, guard Alex Boone
said. Theyre a great team. I feel were two of
S.F. hopes rematch ends differently

OAKLAND Stephen Curry hit a go-
ahead jumper with 2.1 seconds left, lifting
the Golden State Warriors over the skidding
Boston Celtics 99-97 on Friday night in
their rst game back home after a long road
trip.
Curry came off a pick-and-roll with David
Lee before hitting the high-arching shot
over center Kris Humphries to electrify the
sellout crowd of 19,596. Gerald Wallace
missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer, sending
Boston to its seventh straight loss.
Two nights after its 10-game winning
streak ended at Brooklyn, Golden State gave
its home fans another memory to savor.
Andre Iguodala had 22 points, seven
assists and ve rebounds, and Curry nished
with 19 points, seven rebounds and four
assists for a worn-out Warriors team that
badly needs some rest.
Golden State was 6-1 on its extended road
trip and doesnt play again until Wednesday
night at home against Denver.
The Warriors entered the night having
played an NBA-high 23 road games com-
pared to 15 home games, meaning the more
favorable portion of the schedule is ahead.
Golden State began a stretch of 11 of 15 at
Warriors get back
to winning ways

With 7.2 seconds left in the game and his
team up by just a point, Aragon head bas-
ketball coach Sam Manu looked over to his
scorekeeper in disbelief.
I said, Does this look familiar to you?
Its was Manus worst nightmare all over
again. A year ago in a similar scenario
against Burlingame, the Dons had an
inbound play that went terribly wrong when
a home run ball to Alex Manu hit the gym-
nasiums center divider and resulted in a
turnover.
The Panthers went on to win that game.
This time, against Mills another time
that the Dons enjoy basketball games of the
cardiac variety coach Manu called for the
same play to try and kill the seven seconds
standing between his team and the exciting
win.
But the ball found the divider again, giv-
ing Mills the ball and a chance to stun the
Dons ... again.
Yes, rewind the clock to last season and
Robert Nolands shot with 1.2 seconds left
in the game is still very fresh in the collec-
tive memory of the Dons. And in 2014, the
guard got another opportunity to shock
Aragon when he managed to get off a poten-
tial game-winner.
But Nolands shot wasnt meant to be and
the Dons held on to win 57-56 in a game
that had more swings than a kindergarten
playground. Aragon led after one, trailed by
three at the half, went up eight at the of
three but found themselves down by one
with less than two minutes left in the game.
But they got a huge 3-pointer from Toby
Liebergesell and a bonkers, no-look feed
from Alex Manu down the stretch to pick up
their second league win.
We didnt have a solution for their two
bigs early on, coach Manu said. They
were eating us alive. They play such a great
zone defensively. We put Alex in the middle
of that zone and let him facilitate from
there. The team feeds off of him not really
offensively, but as a whole. Thats a nice lit-
tle help for us because Mills zone can be
very suffocating.
The Mills defense really went to work in
the second quarter after Kevin Hahn knocked
down a trio of treys in the rst to fuel
Aragons early 19-11 lead. But come the
second quarter, Noland found his stroke. He
and Tyler Wright combined for all of Mills
25 points in the second period. The
Vikings ability to limit Aragon to just 5 of
13 shooting in the period allowed them to
take a 36-33 lead into recess.
But it was Aragon who used a bit of
defense in the third to get them going. Huge
was the play of Keith Samujh, who spent all
of the rst half on the bench.
He came up to me at halftime and said,
Coach, I think I can guard 33 (Marquis
This time, Aragon holds off Mills

Hillsdales Raichel Tjan scores on a fastbreak layup during the Knights 55-35 win over
SanMateo Friday night.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Emily Nepomuceno, a sophomore guard for
the Hillsdale girls basketball team, was held
to just four points by San Mateo Friday night.
For any other team, that might spell trou-
ble. Nepomuceno makes the Knights engine
run and if a teams best player is shut down, it
usually results in a loss.
Hillsdale Megan Hankins, however, was
not worried in the least.
They were trying to shut down
Nepomuceno, Hankins said. Thats ne.
Hankins was comforted by the fact her team
is more than just a one-woman show. Shut
down Nepomuceno? Senior forward Emily
Lyons can step in and score. Or freshman
guard Raichel Tjan. Or junior guard Ashley
Yakushi. Or any other number of Knights.
All had a hand in Hillsdales 55-35 win over
San Mateo to improve to 2-0 in Peninsula
Athletic League South Division play.
Were not just a one-person team,
Hankins said. Its just great how they all
responded.
Lyons nished with a game-high 13 points,
while Tjan had 11, hitting three 3-pointers.
Yakushi chipped in with eight.
After Hillsdale built a 27-14 lead at half-
time, San Mateo (0-2 PAL South) came out in
the third quarter and pounded the ball into the
post where Ofa Tuipuloto and Jen Patterson
had their way with the smaller Knights.
Tuipuloto and Patterson combined to score 13
of San Mateos 14 third-quarter points.
Tuipuloto led the Bearcats with 10 points.
And the best the Bearcats could do was cut
their decit to 11 heading into the nal quar-
ter.
Thats because San Mateo could not consis-
tently stop the Knights defensively espe-
cially Lyons, who nished with a game-high
13 points, 11 coming in the second half.
Lyons scored just before the halftime buzzer
for her only points of the rst half and that
seemed to take the lid off the rim for her.
My shots werent falling (in the rst
half), Lyons said. I knew eventually, if I
kept shooting, theyll go in.
Lyons converted a pair of baseline jumpers
in the third quarter and then scored seven in
the fourth period capping her night by
draining a 3-pointer with 48 seconds to play.
[Lyons] came through big today, Hankins
said. Shes my oor general.
The Bearcats managed to cut their decit to
nine, 43-34, following a pair of Alyssa Cho
free throws with 5:42 to play. Hillsdale
responded with a 12-1 run to end the game.
In the rst half, San Mateo jumped out to an
early lead. Veronica Reinosa knocked down a
jumper to open the scoring and Cho hit one of
two free throws. After a Yakushi free throw got
Hillsdale on the board, San Mateo easily
broke the Knights full-court press, getting an
easy layup for a 5-1 lead. When Patterson con-
verted a layup moments, the Bearcats were up
six, 7-1, just over three minutes into the
game.
We start slow, Hankins said.
AYakushi 3 seemed to wake up the Knights
and then their press starting paying dividends
as Hillsdale got back-to-back steals. The
Knights missed a layup off the rst one, but
Adesia Cotton scored on a putback. Tjan then
swiped the ball near midcourt and glided in for
a fastbreak layup. A three-point play from
Victoria Montague gave the Knights their rst
lead of the game, 11-9, and they would not
trail the rest of the way. When Cotton
knocked down a pair of free throws to put
Hillsdale up 13-9, it capped a 9-0 run to end
the rst quarter.
In the second quarter, while San Mateo
became tentative on offense, Hillsdale kept
pushing. The Knights outscored the Bearcats
14-5 in the second period and nished the half
on a 10-0 run, capped by a Lyons reverse
layup on a putback at the buzzer to give the
Knights a 27-14 lead at halftime.
We have only one person who is 5-9, 5-10,
so we have to rely on our speed, Hankins
said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Trying to describe exactly how
the Burlingame boys soccer team
defeated Carlmonts 1-0 on Friday
afternoon is like failing miserably
at properly detailing the scene of a
car accident.
Yes, you were there and you saw
everything.
You saw a cross into the
Carlmont penalty box, for sure.
But, then it gets kind of blurry
because there was a bunch of traf-
c, balls going off of heads, a vol-
ley back into the box (maybe).
But you denitely saw the ball
go into the Carlmont net followed
by a bunch of young men in red
shirts celebrate.
Then two minutes later, you can
confirm you heard the referees
whistle go off and signal
Burlingames second league win
and sixth straight victory.
But actual eyewitness accounts
of Adrian Eatons (we think) goal
vary. Heck, even both head coach-
es needed their players to go over
exactly what happened in the
Carlmont penalty box in the 80th
minute.
Who headed what? Who sent the
ball, where? Huh?
Well, whats important is that
once again the Panthers and Scots
treated Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division fans with a vintage
clash that annually is among one
of the more physical confronta-
tions on the schedule. And the
2014 version did not disappoint.
The bout had crashes and yellow
cards throughout. And to make
matters more interesting and juicy,
once the rematch rolls around in a
couple of weeks, is that lone goal.
We got lucky in the end, with
the ball bouncing around in there,
said Burlingames rst-year head
coach Dave Siracusa. Carlmont
played great today. We were fortu-
nate to come away with a win.
They had, like, 11 corner kicks and
some seven balls into the box on
fouls. So, we were fortunate. But,
were on the road and we know how
to win close games so far.
Luck (was the difference).
Which happens in soccer a lot. It
was like a scrum in rugby, said
Carlmont head coach Jodi Beloff
about the goal that took down her
team. They played a decent game.
They definitely challenged our
back line. We challenged theirs. It
was an even game all the way
around. The result could have gone
either way. We could have won.
They could have won. We couldve
tied.
For the majority of the game, it
looked like a draw was the fair
result. Both teams generated a fair
amount of offensive pressure.
Burlingames Zachary Seniff and
Baxter Kindler-Balmy gave the
Panthers their best chances to
score in the first half while
Carlmonts midfield showed
episodes of creativity that resulted
in a couple of decent chances.
But there wasnt a whole lot
either team could hang their gura-
tive hats on for 40 minutes.
Ten minutes into the second, it
took a miracle header by Eaton to
clear a sure-re Carlmont goal off
the goal line. That was the closest
the Scots would be to the
Burlingame net despite a couple of
times when it looked like break-
away chances would lead to, at the
very least, solid saves by the
Burlingame keeper. Instead, it
appeared the Scots were suffering
from a case of over-generosity.
Thats one of the things we are
struggling with right now, Beloff
said. Were not taking the shots
when we should be taking the
shots. Were being too nice.
Theyre trying to give the glory to
their teammates when they should
be taking the shots. Thats what
were working on.
But it wasnt like Burlingame
was making it rain shots on
Carlmonts net. If anything, the
Eaton goal was a nice reward for
the senior captain and defender
who capitalized on the Panthers
last ditch, all-out frenzied effort to
steal a couple of points on the
road. Eaton got the score, but his
teams defense was the real hero
Friday afternoon.
We play all the way to the end,
Siracusa said. We were fortunate
today. Good teams can win when
they dont play so well and we did-
nt. I would have been happy with
a tie. Were a good defense held
down by Adrian Eaton and Nick
Darnell. They keep us focus so
were not rufed back there.
Persistence and composure. I
think theyre a well-prepared team
and they feel theyre condent in
the end to win games. They dont
panic.

TRANSACTIONS
BOSTON Two players violat-
ed league concussion protocol dur-
ing last weekends wild-card
games, according to a letter sent
by the NFLs head, neck and spine
committee chairmen to all team
doctors and trainers.
In a document obtained by The
Associated Press, Drs. Hunt Batjer
and Richard Ellenbogen said one
player re-entered the game and
another refused to leave the side-
line.
The doctors did not identify the
players, but one was Green Bay
tackle David Bakhtiari, who went
into the game for an extra-point
try despite being examined for a
concussion and not cleared. The
other player was Saints corner-
back Keenan Lewis, who remained
on the sideline but did not get back
on the eld.
On two occasions last week-
end, and contrary to the advice of
the team medical staffs, players
who had been diagnosed with a
concussion and therefore declared
ineligible for play nonetheless
refused to leave the sidelines as
required by league concussion pro-
tocols, the letter said. In one
case, the player went back onto
the eld for one play before being
removed from the game.
The doctors found no fault in
how the team medical staffs con-
ducted themselves.
If a player refuses to follow
your advice and leave the sidelines
after being diagnosed with a con-
cussion, we recommend that the
head athletic trainer seek assis-
tance from the players position
coach (or another member of the
coaching staff) or from another
team ofcial to remove the player
from the sidelines as soon as pos-
sible, the letter said.
The NFLs Madden Rule requires
a player diagnosed with a concus-
sion to be taken to the locker
room or another quiet location.
We will continue working with
the league to ensure that team doc-
tors, coaches, trainers and other
members of a teams medical staff
enforce return-to-participation
protocols, the NFL Players
Association said in an email.
Players naturally want to play
and ultimately, the game-day med-
ical and coaching staffs have the
responsibility and obligation for
player protection and care.
The Saints and Packers declined
comment.
No nes will be imposed for the
violations.
Bakhtiaris season is over
because Green Bay lost to San
Francisco. But Lewis Saints are
playing Saturday at Seattle and he
has been practicing.
Two NFL players violated
leagues concussion protocol
Raiders re-sign offensive
line coach Tony Sparano
ALAMEDA The Oakland
Raiders have re-signed offensive
line coach Tony Sparano to a two-
year contract.
The team announced the move
Friday before Sparano could have
become a coaching free agent next
week.
Sparano helped oversee a dra-
matic improvement on Oaklands
line in his rst season with the
Raiders despite numerous injuries
to the unit. The Raiders increased
their yards per carry from 3.8 to
4.6 this season which ranked
sixth in the NFL.
The Raiders have decided to keep
coach Dennis Allen for a third sea-
son despite back-to-back four-win
campaigns. Most of the assistants
were in the nal year of their con-
tracts and the team is deciding
which assistants to try to keep.

with a couple games left in the regular sea-
son for what he said was his unwillingness
to play an athlete he had suspended for
repeated team violations. In his four sea-
sons with the Mustangs, he compiled a
record of 40-57. His most successful year
was 2010-11 when he guided Capuchino to
the PAL Lake Division title, a 16-9 overall
record and a spot in the Central Coast
Section playoffs.
When Fountain was initially hired by
Woodside in May of 2012, he told the Daily
Journal what he learned about his experi-
ence at Capuchino.
I took a look at what happened, I looked
at the processes, how I communicated with
the players, the parents, the administration.
I think there are things I learned. You can
always improve.
One of the things I learned is I need to
have a good problem-resolution process. If
we have a process down, I think it would a
lot easier. There would be less frustration.
Continued from page 11
COACH
the same teams, just East Coast and West Coast
separates us. There are things you always want
to have back, and that game especially. If we go
in and play our game and dont get mentally
hijacked and emotionally hijacked, it could be a
good day for us.
It sure wasnt the rst meeting when San
Francisco was overpowered for a change after
building a reputation for beating up on other
teams. The Niners were held to 151 yards of
offense for their lowest total in seven years as
Kaepernick was sacked a career-high six times
and looked ustered at times.
With athletic defensive ends Charles
Johnson and Greg Hardy keeping him hemmed
into the pocket and linebackers Luke Kuechly
and Thomas Davis chasing after him if he tried
to escape, Kaepernick had one of his worst days
as a pro, completing 11 of 22 passes for 91
yards and one interception.
They have a great front seven, Kaepernick
said. Theyre very athletic, very fast, very
strong. It was something that the rst game we
didnt play very well. We didnt execute the way
we should have.
The Panthers were able to generate pressure
without blitzing, with half of their sacks com-
ing on four-man rushes, according to STATS
LLC. San Francisco ran only nine plays against
the blitz as Carolina was able to control the
line of scrimmage with their front seven.
I really believe that they are the most tal-
ented front seven that we have played,
Harbaugh said. Thats in large part a great
share of what makes them so effective. Putting
pressure on the quarterback, stopping the run.
Again, you look across the categories that they
measure defensive success, and theyre in the
top, top ve, top six, top.
Kaepernick didnt complete a single pass
that game when he was pressured, going 0-for-
4 with an interception and the six sacks as he
played without star receiver Michael Crabtree
all game and lost tight end Vernon Davis to a
concussion in the rst half.
He also wasnt able to scramble as effective-
ly as he did in last weeks playoff win over
Green Bay when he escaped four times for 85
yards. He had three scrambles against the
Panthers for 22 yards with only one of those
runs generating a rst down.
Kaepernick struggled throwing as well and
completed just one pass that went more than 10
yards downeld.
It denitely wasnt our best day at the
ofce, offensive coordinator Greg Roman
said. Youve got to give the opponent credit
rst. I think when you go back, all the answers
were on the lm, really. There were some very
unique things that took place in that game and
was a little bit of a perfect stormshall you say.
But, thats a long time ago and were going to
be playing a game Sunday. Were a different out-
t than we were that day and well be playing in
a land far, far away.
NOTES: CB Carlos Rogers (hamstring) did
not practice for the second straight week and is
listed as questionable for the game although it
is unlikely he will play. ... LB Dan Skuta (foot)
is also questionable.

Adkins), coach Manu said. Hes shorter
than him, but were short at the center posi-
tion. He plays a bit of football and he used
that to his advantage there.
Samujhs defense wont show up on the
stat line, but it was big considering that
Mills went from a team that shot 68 percent
in the second quarter, to one that went 2 of
11 from the field in the third. Trevor
Pagaduan caught a bit of re in the period,
scoring eight points and Aragon led by
those eight going into the fourth.
The Vikings got to within two points on
an Adkins basket and then tied the game
with 2:42 left when Noland sunk a couple of
freebies that set up the exciting turn of
events that nished the game. Wright sank a
free throw to give Mills its last lead of the
night before Lierbergesell knocked down a
3 near the top of the key to put Aragon up
for good.
Alex Manu nished with 18 points and
four assists. Pagaduan had a nice 11 while
Hahn ended the night with those nine
points from a hot rst quarter.
Noland led Mills with 22 good for tops
among all scorers for the night. Both teams
are now 1-1 in PAL Bay Division play.

Oracle Arena before the All-Star break,
though things didnt start off easy at home.
The Warriors appeared to put the game away
with a 19-3 run at the end of the third and start
of the fourth quarter to go ahead by 13 points.
But Boston kept on coming, getting a pair
of big shots and a big block by
Humphries down the stretch. The Celtics cut
the Warriors lead to 89-88 on Jordan
Crawfords 3-pointer, and after Golden State
started to pull away again, Jeff Green hit a 3
to bring Boston to 94-93 with 2:13 remain-
ing.
Iguodala answered with a fadeaway while
getting fouled by Green, though he missed
the free throw. Crawford came back with a
pull-up shot, then Draymond Green missed a
jumper for the Warriors.
Iguodala stole the ball from Jared Sullinger
on the ensuing possession, and after Curry
missed a difcult jumper, Lee tapped out a
rebound to give Golden State another posses-
sion. Harrison Barnes was fouled following a
timeout and made one of two free throws to
put the Warriors ahead 97-95 with 19.6 sec-
onds left.
Green made the tying jumper with 11.6 sec-
onds to play for Boston, getting a friendly
bounce off the rim. Curry then came back
with another shot in a young career already
full of them, kissing his ngers following
the swish that gave Golden State the victory.
Green finished with 24 points and 11
rebounds, and Sullinger had 21 points and 11
rebounds for Boston, which has lost 10 of
11. Boston also is 0-4 on its ve-game road
trip, which ends Saturday night at Portland.
Golden State started with some hop in its
step.
Curry completed a rare dunk on a runaway
fast break to give the Warriors a 10-2 lead in
the opening minutes. But the second unit
couldnt sustain the momentum, continuing a
troubling trend this season.
The Celtics went ahead by six in the second
quarter behind the smooth shooting of
Sullinger, who scored 14 in the period.
Boston led 49-47 at halftime.
Warriors reserve Marreese Speights scored
the nal six points of the third quarter to start
the Golden State surge. Curry and Iguodala
added a few highlights at the start of the
fourth, and Golden State held on at the nish.

Have you ever been
entrusted to make
final arrangements
for a funeral?
Those of you
whove had this
experience know
that important decisions are required and
must be made in a timely manner. The next
of kin is many times required to search for
information about the deceased which may
not be easily accessible, and must answer
questions without the time to think things
out. Even though your Funeral Director is
trained to guide you every step of the way, it
is still best for you to be prepared with the
proper information if the need should arise.
Ask your Funeral Director what info is
needed before you meet with him/her.
Making funeral arrangements can be very
simple, or can become difficult at times if
you are not prepared. A good Funeral
Director is experienced in leading you with
the necessary requirements, and will offer
details that you may not have thought about
or previously considered as an option.
Allowing him/her to guide you will make
the arrangements go by quickly and easily.
A number of items should be considered
in preparation for the future:
1. Talk to your loved ones about the
inevitable. Give them an indication on what
your wishes are regarding the type of funeral
you want, burial or cremation, etc., and ask
them their feelings about plans for their own
funeral. This is only conversation, but it is
an important topic which will help break the
ice and prevent any type of confusion when
the time comes.
2. Talk to your Funeral Director. Write
down a list of questions and make a phone
call to your Funeral Director asking how to
be prepared. He/she will gladly provide
detailed information and can mail this
information to you for your reference.
Asking questions doesnt cost anything and
will help you with being organized.
3. Make an appointment and Pre-plan a
Funeral. Many more people are following
through with this step by making Pre-Need
Arrangements. Completing arrangements
ahead of time makes this process more
relaxed, and putting these details behind you
will take a weight off your shoulders. Your
wishes will be finalized and kept on file at
the Mortuary. Your Funeral Director will
even help you set aside funding now as to
cover costs at the time of death. Families
who meet with us at the CHAPEL OF THE
HIGHLANDS are grateful for the chance to
make Pre-Need Arrangements. With their
final details in place it helps to make matters
more calming for surviving loved-ones.
4. Enjoy Life. There are those who dwell
on situations that cant be controlled.
Taking time to stop and look around at
beauty in the world and appreciate good
things can be therapeutic. If you need to use
a negative statement, try re-wording it into a
positive. Change I had a lousy day today
into Today was demanding, but it made me
appreciate my better days. As the song
goes: Accentuate the positive; Eliminate
the negative; Latch on to the affirmative.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Accentuating The Positive
Can Eliminate The Negative
By Zeina Karam
BEIRUT With nearly 500 peo-
ple reported killed in a week of
rebel inghting, many Syrians bar-
ricaded themselves in their homes
Friday, while others emerged from
mosques angrily accusing an al-
Qaida-linked group of hijacking
their revolution.
The rebel-on-rebel clashes have
overshadowed the battle against
President Bashar Assad and under-
score the perils for civilians caught
in the crossre of two parallel wars.
The violence, which pits ghters
from a variety of Islamic groups and
mainstream factions against the
feared al-Qaida-linked Islamic State
of Iraq and the Levant, have spread
across four provinces in opposi-
tion-held parts of northern Syria.
The inghting is helping Assad,
whose forces have clawed back
some of the ground lost to the
rebels in recent months as they
bombard the north and other oppo-
sition regions with warplanes,
heavy artillery and crude explosive-
lled barrels dropped over rebel
neighborhoods.
The revolution has been
derailed, said Abdullah Hasan, a
self-described secular activist in the
northern town of Maskaneh, where
ghters from the al-Qaida-linked
group swept in last month. None
of the groups ghting in Syria rep-
resent me now, he said, adding that
he was nonetheless hopeful that the
inghting would help purge
extremists from the ranks of the
rebels.
The latest bout of violence broke
out a week ago across northern
Syria and is the most serious among
opponents of Assad since the civil
war began.
The Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said
Friday that at least 482 people have
been killed in the inghting since
Jan. 3. It said 157 were from the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant,
240 from more moderate factions
and 85 were civilians.
The death toll mirrors and even
exceeds casualties from the broader
war between government forces and
the rebels in the same time frame.
The Observatory, which documents
casualties on a daily basis through a
network of activists on the ground,
has recorded 385 people killed
between Jan. 3 and Jan. 9 in ght-
ing between rebels and government
forces. But casualties among sol-
diers are difcult to track down and
are often under reported.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant and another al-Qaida-linked
group known as Jabhat al-Nusra, or
the Nusra Front, initially joined
forces with moderate rebels ght-
ing to oust Assad in a conict that
began in March 2011 as a popular
uprising but morphed into a civil
war.
The extremists proved well-
organized and efcient ghters,
giving the ragtag rebels a boost.
But the Iraqi-based Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant, which includes
many foreign ghters, has alienat-
ed many Syrians over the past sev-
eral months by using brutal tactics
to impose its strict interpretation
of Islamic law.
The group has also kidnapped
scores of foreign journalists and
activists, and killed and beheaded
opponents in areas it controls.
Earlier this week, dozens of dead
bodies were found at a hospital
allegedly used as the groups local
headquarters in Aleppo, many of
them blindfolded and with their
hands tied behind their backs.
Opposition groups said the dead
were captives killed by the al-Qaida
militants before they retreated from
the hospital.
The Nusra Front has largely
stayed on the sidelines of the ongo-
ing clashes, and in some places has
tried to broker a truce.
The collection of ultraconserva-
tive rebels and more moderate
brigades have made headway
against extremist ghters in sever-
al areas in the provinces of Aleppo,
Idlib, Hama and Raqqa although
the al-Qaida-linked group has man-
aged to regroup and curb some of its
losses.
Bari Abdellatif, a resident of the
town of al-Bab in the Aleppo coun-
tryside, said al-Qaida ghters seized
control Friday of wheat silos and
mills just outside the town, and
were trying to storm it from several
fronts.
He accused the extremists of con-
scating our and bread and distrib-
uting it to areas under their control,
leading to severe shortages in al-
Bab.
A group of people in the town
emerged from mosques following
prayers Friday, marching in
protest.
Those who stole the revolution
are traitors! some shouted, while
others chanted slogans in support
of the Free Syrian Army, the
Western-backed umbrella group
that includes more moderate fac-
tions.

Person of
the Year
By Mari Andreatta
W
hether you believe that
he is a man touched by
God, or just a man, Pope
Francis is a remarkable one. In
December, Time magazine named him
Person of the Year for 2013. Now,
whether one belongs to the Roman
Catholic Church or not, people should
respect the decision of Time because, as far
as Im concerned, they dont name just
anybody Person of the Year. Time
awards the
title to
the per-
son
that
for
better or
for
worse
... has
done the most to inuence the
events of the year. The award is gen-
erally the province of U.S. presidents,
world leaders, legendary businesspeople
and activists and even other popes (two
have been recognized previously), but no
pope has ever been recognized without
even a full year on the job. What has Pope
Francis been doing to deserve this recogni-
tion? As a practicing Catholic myself, even
I was astonished to nd out some of these
facts about the leader of the Catholic
Church.
For starters, not only is he the rst Latin
American pope, but Francis is also the rst
non-European pope in more than 1,200
years. Born and raised in Buenos Aires,
Jorge Mario Bergoglio lived a simple life
in Argentina, working as a janitor, night-
club bouncer and teacher, among other
jobs, before being ordained a priest at the
age of 33. He joined the Jesuit order, a
branch of the Catholic Church dedicated to
education, evangelization, social justice
and Christian unity all things that shine
through Francis to this day. Even after
becoming archbishop of Buenos Aires in
1998, Francis continued taking public
transportation and living in a simple apart-
ment on the same block as the cathedral,
rather than in the luxurious archdiocesan
residence.
The word pope has always triggered the
same image in my head. I picture an out-of-
touch elderly man who handles most of his
papal duties behind the scenes and is barely
able to impart his wisdom and share his
experience with the world. While appointed
leader of the faith, a pope is not always
connected to their constituents in a mean-
ingful way. Doctrine is great, but our socie-
ty now expects leaders to be genuine and to
communicate with us in ways we under-
stand. Pope Francis has changed my view
of what a pope can be and represent. Hes
bringing everything to the front: stepping
out, washing the feet of convicts, embrac-
ing people with illness, talking about
homosexuality. He is calling for greater
tenderness, mercy and compassion, as well
as promoting peace negotiations and inter-

Its the end of the world for Marvels
Ultimate universe, but its a beginning,
t oo.
Fourteen years after its creation by
Marvel Entertainment as a modern, grittier
and contemporary take on Marvels charac-
ters, the publisher is pushing forward with
new efforts to reinvigorate its universe
where the dead remain so and disaster, dis-
cord and ultimately redemption and
rebirth are among the events that keep read-
ers coming back issue after issue.
What it means for characters like Miles
Morales; members of the FF (Future
Foundation, not Fantastic Four); and the
All-New Ultimates, including the new Black
Widow (she used to be Spider-Woman),
Kitty Pryde, Bombshell and Cloak and
Dagger, will unfold beginning in April as
the events of the soon-to-end Cataclysm
miniseries runs its course.
Writer Brian Michael Bendis is tight-
lipped about the end but said this week that
it ends with great cost.
Theyre able to win the day, but at great
sacrice, a sacrice that is so huge that it
changes the entire landscape, said Bendis.
It creates a place that demands a fresh start
from everyone who surveys it.
The move is part of Marvel
Entertainments relaunching of its Ultimate
universe that starts in April under the banner
Ultimate Marvel NOW!

UN-stage Your Staging?
John King has been serving home sellers and buyers on The Peninsula and Silicon Valley for almost 30 years.
Top 1% of Keller Williams agents.
The final item to complete when preparing your home for the
market is the staging of the home. But once the staging is completed,
sellers may say "this isn't how we would live in the house" and
immediately start moving furniture around and half a day can be
spent deciding where two chairs and a couch will be relocated.
Sellers can feel they know their
house the best, although, it's
really for how they would live
in a home.
I advise my clients that the
purpose of staging a home is to
maximize the effect for buyers
and to trust that a professional
stager knows what will entice a
buyer to bring a great price for
the home. Once your home is
staged, please don't UN-stage it.

and building something new, but theres an
end game in sight, he said of the move,
noting that Marvels so-called Ultimate uni-
verse has always been noted by readers,
writers and artists and editors for its elas-
ticity and experimentation.
We created the line to take chances, he
said.
Dead is dead, he said, so dont expect
any miraculous resurrections. The long and
short of it is this: The Ultimate (universe)
benets from a good, old kick in the butt.
Its also a chance for other characters to
take larger roles in place of long-standing
ones.
If youve been following Brian Bendis
and David Marquezs Ultimate Comics
Spider-Man, you know that Miles Morales,
has had to grow up fast, said editor Mark
Paniccia. In All-New Ultimates, well see
this eclectic group of super-powered teens
step up, live fast and maybe even die hard
in the new series written by Michel Fiffe and
drawn by Amilcar Pinna.
Fiffe said he hopes to introduce many
more enemies and allies to their world. The
Ultimate universe is relatively young,
which yields more opportunities for real
change, real dangers and dramatic avenues
left unexplored in superhero comics.
Bendis said Morales, who took up the
Spider-Man mantle after the death of Peter
Parker, is among those in new territory.
You can look at this as kind of his Bar
Mitzvah of sorts and, now, he has to take
the reins of Spider-Man under the new world
he nds himself in, he said of the upcom-
ing Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man
series drawn by Marquez.
His entire life as a human being has
changed.
For others, the change is going to be
rapid, and unexpected, said Joshua Hale
Fialkov, writer of Ultimate FF, a team
book drawn by Mario Guevara focusing on
several core members that make up the
Future Foundation.
Its a team of geniuses, four of the
smartest people in the Ultimate universe,
he said, of the core that includes Sue Storm
and Tony Stark, among others. And were
missing one, and that one happens to be a
psychopath.
Fialkov called the titles an opportunity
for Marvel and readers.
We have a pretty big responsibility with
this universe. No. 1., it has been a gateway
for people back into lms and we want to be
innovative, doing things different with
these characters that you cannot get any-
where else.
We look at the opportunity Cataclysm
gave us to reset the board, he said, and do
some really cool stuff with the characters.

consider getting an abortion because of
poverty or rape, he asks, Who can remain
unmoved before such painful situations?
This stuff is a big deal and it is an impor-
tant dialogue to have, rather than just bury-
ing our heads in doctrine or the way its
always been.
Pope Francis chose his name after
Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of the
poor. Like Francis of Assisi, Pope Francis
is making the most vulnerable members of
society his focus, thus truly embodying the
name and deserving the title given to him
by Time.
Hey, he piqued the interest of a high
schooler albeit via a magazine on the
coffee table but thats still saying some-
thing. I couldnt ask for more in a leader
someone to whom I want to listen.
Regardless of faith, his principles make

the Medicare prescription benefits first
administrator says greater availability of
generic drugs nowadays may allow for some
protections to be safely eased.
The three classes of drugs widely used
antidepressants, antipsychotics and drugs
that suppress the immune system to prevent
the rejection of a transplanted organ
have enjoyed special protected status
since the launch of the Medicare prescrip-
tion benet in 2006.
That has meant that the private insurance
plans that deliver prescription benets to
seniors and disabled beneficiaries must
cover all or substantially all medications
in the class, allowing broad access. The
plans can charge more for costlier drugs, but
they cant just close their lists of approved
drugs, or formularies, to protected medica-
tions.
In a proposal published Friday in the
Federal Register, the administration called
for removing protected status from antide-
pressants, antipsychotics, and immunosup-
pressant drugs.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services said that status is no longer needed
to guarantee access, and the change would
save millions of dollars for taxpayers and
beneciaries alike, while potentially help-
ing with the problem of improperly pre-
scribed antipsychotic drugs in nursing
homes.
But advocates for patients are opposed,
saying it could potentially limit access to
critically needed medications for millions
of people.
We are disturbed by this, said Andrew
Sperling, legislative advocacy director for
the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
This is a key protection. Its a cornerstone
of what has made the benet work for peo-
ple with mental illness.
Sperling said that patients with mental
health issues often have to try a variety of
drugs before they nd the right one for their
condition. He questioned whether the
change would help crack down on the prob-
lem of improperly prescribed antipsy-
chotics, saying it amounted to a blunt
instrument.
The National Kidney Foundation also
voi ced worri es. Legi sl at i ve pol i cy
director Tonya Saffer said transplant
patients often depend on combinations
of medication, so having the broadest
possible choice is crucial.
Covering all immunosuppressant drugs
is very important for the patient and very
important to protect the transplanted organ
from rejection, Saffer said.
The proposal could lead to patients hav-
ing to go through multiple channels to try
and get a drug, which would put patients at
risk, she added.
Medicares prescription drug coverage
has proven a popular benet since it was
added under President George W. Bush. The
rst administrator of the program, health
policy expert Mark McClellan, says it may
make sense to ease some patient protec-
tions because there are more low-cost
generic alternatives now than was the case
eight years ago. But he said the govern-
ment has to be careful to nd the right bal-
ance.
The six classes were designated based on
the science and the availability of drugs at
the time, McClellan said. Everyone
should expect that the science and availabil-
ity of drugs is going to change.
He added: There is a clinical case to be
made that not every drug in the class needs
to be available on formulary.
In the proposal, the administration said
the new policy was developed after careful
consultation with experts. The three other
types of drugs that have special status for
cancer, HIV/AIDS and preventing seizures
would remain protected. If adopted in the
coming months, the new policy could take
effect as early as 2015 with an additional
year to make the change for antipsychotic
medications.
The administration estimates the plan
could save the taxpayers a total of $720
million by 2019. Beneciaries may also be
able to save. Thats because the drug plans
can drive a harder bargain for manufacturer
discounts when a drug is not protected.
We are concerned that requiring essen-
tially open coverage of certain classes and
categories of drugs presents both nancial
disadvantages and patient welfare concerns
... as a result of increased drug prices and
overutilization, said the proposal from the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services.
A leading industry analyst said the pro-
posal would represent a signicant change
for Medicares prescription benet .
It is a weakening of a patient protec-
tion, said Dan Mendelson, CEO of Avalare
Health, a market analysis rm.
Im not sure that Medicare saves money
from this kind of a change, he added.
Other elements of the program may have a
cost increase if people are not using medica-
tions in the right way.
WORRIES
WAILUKU, Hawaii AHawaii man has
filed a $300 million copyright infringe-
ment lawsuit, claiming the Matrix trilo-
gy of science fiction films has striking
similarities to his screenplay.
Playwright Thomas Althouse of Maui
claims 166 instances in the movies are
similar to parts of his 1992 screenplay,
The Immortals.
They took so much, he told the Maui
News (http://is.gd/KrjiCd). The striking
similarities are off the charts.
Named in the lawsuit are Warner Bros.
Entertainment Inc., producer Joel Silver,
directors and writers.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District
Court in the Central District of California
in January 2013.
Althouse said he was invited by studio
executives to submit his story to the
Burbank, Calif., studio in 1993 for con-
sideration as a possible project. Defense
attorneys, in court filings, deny such an
invitation was made.
There is no merit to this frivolous law-
suit, Warner Bros. said in a statement.
Althouse claims the concept of the
movie trilogy futuristic tales in which
reality is actually simulated, created by
machines to subdue humans, and a com-
puter programmer leads a rebellion
against the machines was born four
months after the studio received his
screenplay.
The first film, The Matrix, was
released in 1999. It was followed by The
Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix
Revolutions, both released in 2003.
Because the lawsuit was filed more than
10 years after the first films release, the
statute of limitations has passed.
Althouses lawsuit is for claims against
the two remaining movies.
He said it took him 20 years to file a
lawsuit because he was diagnosed with a
stress disorder that prevented him from
watching violent movies. He also said he
heard the two other films were horrible and
didnt bother to watch them.
Althouse said he saw the first movie and
just thought the similarities to his screen-
play were a coincidence. But later, after
seeing some images on movie websites,
he decided to watch the last two films in
the series.
Althouse said he was like ... No way.
I started researching immediately, and I
was blown away, he said.

work they admitted they missed the
coming of 2014. As the last few sec-
onds were counting down to midnight
they were on the phone discussing
business.
The two have found building their
own business from the ground up is
very rewarding and difcult at the same
time. Lin notes its not for the faint of
heart.
We occupy a really important niche
and have found the response to be real-
ly amazing, Tran said. Its been chal-
lenging because not only have we cre-
ated legal services, but weve learned
to be entrepreneurial and enterprising;
its really empowering at same time.
Lin said she and Tran represent a
growing trend of female-run compa-
nies.
We are a women-owned business
and thats an empowering sort of mes-
sage, Lin said. You see more and
more women setting out and making
their own destinies. Our rst year went
above expectations and hope for this
year to be even better than last year.
Although it is just the two of them
for now, along with part-time staff,
they hope to grow the practice organi-
cally in the next few years. Theyre
both still putting in about 50-80 hours
a week and for a while Lin said she reg-
ularly went to bed at 3 a.m. or 4 a.m.
They currently have a satellite ofce in
San Francisco and are considering
adding another in Burlingame.
Other rms have offered to merge
with Bay Wealth Legal Group, but the
women would like to keep their auton-
omy.

ships, said Susan Pontious, director
of public art and the civic art collec-
tion for the San Francisco Arts
Commission.
One work by Staller includes
Spirogyrate an interactive kinetic
light sculpture comprised of six-foot
circular rotating spirals inset into the
oor and the wall of the childrens play
area. The spirals move as if they were
being propelled by one another like
gears. They are covered with glass so
you can walk on them as they spin,
with motion sensors activating
changes in the lighting casting differ-
ent colors on to the discs.
SFOs new Boarding Area E,
Terminal 3 reflects San Franciscos
reputation as a hub for innovation and
creativity, said Tom DeCaigny, direc-
tor of cultural affairs for the commis-
sion. With each new renovation proj-
ect, the San Francisco Arts
Commission has an opportunity to
engage artists in reimagining the air-
port experience. The latest projects by
Eric Staller and Merge are both capti-
vating and will transport viewers on a
journey before they embark on their
real trip.
During a media tour of the space,
DeCaigny said its important for
artists to be able to dene a unique
space like San Francisco and the city is
very lucky to have public art pro-
grams.
Additionally, at the waiting area at
the end of the terminal lies the sus-
pended light sculpture Sky by Merge
Conceptual Design. The artist team
Franka Diehnelt and Claudia
Reisenberger created the sculpture,
which is made up of 27 mirror-pol-
ished stainless steel spheres of differ-
ent sizes. The globes are hollow with
circular openings oriented at various
angles and their interiors are painted a
matte blue. They are also illuminated
by LED lights to create a soft interior
glow, while a computerized program
causes these lights to brighten and dim
at intervals creating a changing pat-
tern of light.
In addition to the new works, the
commission will reinstall ve paint-
ings, currently in the airport collec-
tion, by artists Jay DeFeo, Wayne
Thiebaud, Robert Bechtle, James
Torlakson and Carlos Loarca.
The repurposed Boarding Area E, rst
constructed in 1981, will feature 11
dining and retail outlets, 10 gates for
United Airlines, desk spaces with out-
lets, a yoga room and other amenities.
The architects included Gensler and
The KPAGroup.
With this latest renovation project,
the San Francisco Arts Commissions
Public Art Program received approxi-
mately $717,440 in art enrichment
funds for the new commissions.
According to San Francisco adminis-
trative code, before proposing a bond
issue or making a request for an appro-
priation for the construction for cer-
tain projects, there needs to be art
enrichment included in the proposed
construction. Two percent of the gross
estimated construction cost needs to
be exclusively dedicated to items pro-
posed for such art enrichment.

statement.
Child said there is not an estimated
timeline for when the pond may be
refilled, or if it even can be, but
expects that at least several months
are needed to stabilize and test the soil
rst.
We realize this area is a very nice
bird watching site and want to make
sure the birds are safe as our first
priority, Child said.
Draining is just the beginning. Wi t h
the water out, the next step is address-
ing a large area of mud and bird drop-
pings that Child expects will have
extremely high odor levels. The
plan is to mitigate the smell while sta-
bilizing the soil a process he
expects will take months to accom-
plish.
The pond has stood on the west side
of the sewage treatment plant since
1998 when it was created to eliminate
dust from the barren dirt which in turn
helps protect the plants equipment.
Recycled water refreshes what the pond
loses through evaporation and the
Sequoia Audobon Society estimates
birdwatchers can see more than 10,000
birds at the site.
Amata asks public help with the
birth death investigation by reporting
any mass die-off greater than 10
especially if the birds appear fresh and
with no other obvious signs of death
to the agency by emailing
cheryl_strong@fws.gov or
rachel_tertes@fws.gov.

life- altering decision. Things will look up if you use

Announcement of Opening of Interest List
Moving To Work (MTW) Program
The Housing Authority of the County of San Mateo (HACSM) will begin accepting pre-applications beginning
January 13, 2014 to establish an interest list for the Moving-To-Work (MTW) program. Persons who are
interested may apply online at:
www.smchousingwaitlist.org
The interest list will remain open until further notice.
The MTW program is a federally-funded housing assistance program that provides rental subsidy (commonly
known as Housing Choice Voucher or Section 8 program), allowing eligible families to rent housing in the private
market by subsidizing a portion of each familys monthly rent. In addition, the MTW program provides case
management services, financial incentives and other supportive services to program participants. The MTW
program has a five (5) year time limit.
The interest list is not established based on date and time of the application. Periodically, as vouchers become
available, names will be randomly selected from the interest list for placement on the waiting list. Preference will
be given to families who live, work, or have been hired to work in San Mateo County.
The pre-application will remain active for one (1) year. Visit the above noted application web site for further
details on renewing or updating the pre-application.
The following Federal Income Limits currently determine income eligibility for participation in the MTW
program. Income limits are published annually by HUD.
Household Size
Annual Income Limits

$38,750 $44,300 $49,850 $55,350 $59,800 $64,250 $68,650 $73,100
Application is limited one per household. Duplicate applications will be rejected.
Applications will be accepted online only. Do not mail, fax, or deliver the pre-application form to any of the
housing authoritys offices.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
John P. Sheehan, aka John Sheehan,
aka Jack Sheehan
Case Number: 124038
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: John P. Sheehan, aka
John Sheehan, aka Jack Sheehan. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by Di-
ane Key in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Diane Key be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able 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: January 29, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
203 Public Notices
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
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 ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Pursuant to County Ordinance Section 2.83.170:
(a) Before the County contracts for engineering services, ar-

proposal shall be in accordance with Administrative Memo-
randa promulgated by the County Manager.

French president angry
over report on love life
PARIS French President Francois
Hollande threatened legal action Friday over
a magazine report saying
he is having a secret affair
with an actress, the latest
breach in the French
medias practice of turn-
ing a blind eye to presi-
dential love affairs.
Rumors have long cir-
culated that the 59-year-
old Hollande might have
a lover. The magazine
Closer published images
Friday showing a bodyguard and a helmeted
man it says is Hollande visiting the apart-
ment of Julie Gayet, 41, a moderately known
French actress who appeared in a clip for his
2012 presidential campaign.
French media faces strict privacy laws, as
well as a longtime tradition of ignoring the
private lives of public figures. Former
President Francois Mitterrand had a daughter
with his lover that the French media knew
about but never revealed, until the president
himself appeared publicly with his daughter
coming out of a restaurant.
U.S. withdraws diplomat
after India expulsion demand
NEW DELHI The United States said
Friday it was withdrawing a diplomat from
India in hopes it would end a bitter dispute
that started with the arrest and strip search of
an Indian diplomat in New York.
Washingtons announcement that it was
complying with a demand from New Delhi for
the expulsion of the U.S. ofcial came hours
after Devyani Khobragade, Indias deputy
consul general in New York, left the U.S.
Khobragade, 39, is accused of exploiting
her Indian-born housekeeper and nanny,
allegedly having her work more than 100
hours a week for low pay and lying about it
on a visa form.
By John Heilprin
GENEVA Irans nuclear envoy in
Geneva said Friday that an initial agree-
ment has been reached on how to imple-
ment a nuclear deal with six world powers.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas
Araghchi, in comments to the official
IRNA news agency, said world powers and
the Iranian government should respond
within two days about whether they accept
the terms, which he did not reveal.
It maps out a first-step agreement for six
months as diplomats from Iran and the so-
called P5+1 the five permanent mem-
bers of the U.N. Security Council plus
Germany negotiate a permanent agree-
ment. The five veto-wielding Security
Council members are Britain, China,
France, Russia and the United States.
The European Union, whose negotiators
Catherine Ashton and Helga Schmid repre-
sent the P5+1, reported on Twitter that
Araghchi and Schmid made very good
progress on all pertinent issues related
to implementing the Nov. 24 deal
which would require Iran to stop some of
its nuclear activities in exchange for some
sanctions being dropped.
Araghchi told IRNA that technical and
political differences were settled through a
solution that must go to capitals for
approval.
The result will be announced within the
next two days, said Araghchi, after which
the first step will be taken for implemen-
tation of the November deal.
Iran insists it has no interest in nuclear
weapons, only nuclear power, but the
United States and its allies are skeptical.
Limiting uranium enrichment is one of
the core aims of the six-month interim
deal.
Enriched uranium, depending on its
grade, can be used either for reactor fuel or
at levels above 90 percent for the
fissile core of a nuclear warhead.
The details of the initial agreement were
not clear. But two officials have told the
Associated Press that Iran was coming to
the table with demands to exempt a facili-
ty used for research and the development of
uranium enrichment from the overall curbs
on its enrichment.
That is something that has been
opposed by the six powers.

implementing nuke deal made
