FBI: Wednesday blaze not being
investigated as act of terrorism
Fire set at
SF Chinese
Consulate
By Terry Collins and Terence Chea
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Federal ofcials said Thursday a re
at the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco was ignited at the
front of the building, leading to an arson investigation and
calls from the Chinese government for better protection of
diplomats in the U.S.
The blaze on Wednesday night was not being investigated
as an act of terrorism, the FBI said.
An incendiary device fueled by gas was detonated at the
consulate, David Johnson, FBI special agent in charge of
the San Francisco division, said at a news conference.

The 1400 block of Burlingame
Avenue just got a little bit livelier at
night with the opening of the farm-
driven eatery Pizzeria Delna.
Officially opened Dec. 23, the
restaurant is the third Pizzeria Delna
from the Stoll family. The menu,
focused on fresh, handmade and sea-
sonal food, changes daily based on
whats available from the farms.

Oh, baby!
With a few exceptions, San
Mateo County parents are nothing
if not consistent. While the top
baby names of 2013 are not the
exact monikers holding the
crown the previous year, they
are still among the countys
favorites.
The name Lucas is num-
ber one for little boys in San
Mateo County, a big jump
from its fourth-place ranking
in 2012. For newborn girls,
Sophia was the most popu-
lar. Last year, the name was
third among girls.
The statistics from
the San Mateo County
Clerks Ofce are not
nalized as they are
only provided
through Dec. 27.
Afew of the names
for both boys and girls are neck in
neck so there is a chance the places
could still shift. However, as in past
years, the differences in the countys
most popular names from year to year
are not the actual names but the order
in which they fall. The incomplete
rankings are based on 2,373 female
births and 2,775 male births.
The top names for boys and their
counts for 2013 are:

Office tower on hold
Completion of a $300 million two-
tower ofce and retail space project on
the heel of San Bruno Mountain was
postponed due to leasing problems, it
was announced the week of Jan. 3,
2014.
San Francisco-based Myers
Development made the postponement
announcement days before the 12-
story tower, which began develop-
ment in April 2008, was set to be com-
plete. Postponing construction of the
second tower was prudent
in the economic cli-
mate, said Jack Myers,
chairman and CEO of
Myers Development
Company.
With lease negotiations, our
progress is slower than we would
like, he said. Building a second build-
ing without leasing the rst seemed
like a bad decision, Myers said.
Visa moves headquarters to S.F.
Foster Citys largest employer, Visa
USA Inc., signed a 10-year lease to
move its headquarters to San
Francisco, it was announced the week
of Jan. 3, 2009.
Visa was moving its headquarters
into the top three oors at 595 Market
St. in San Francisco. The move meant
the companys administrative ofces
were moving to San Francisco but
other employees were to remain in
Foster City.
Manufacturing index
drops to 28-year low
The week of Jan. 3, 2009, signs
grew that the economy
could turn even weaker,
as an index of December
manufacturing activity
sank to its lowest point in
28 years. Every corner of the
sector was down, from bakeries to cig-
arette-makers to aluminum smelters.
The Institute for Supply
Management, a trade group of purchas-
ing executives, said on Friday of that
week that its manufacturing index fell
to 32.4 in December, a greater-than-
expected decline from Novembers
reading of 36.2. Wall Street econo-
mists surveyed by Thomson Reuters
had expected the reading to fall to
35. 5.
Decembers reading was the lowest
since June 1980, when the economy
was near the end of a six-month reces-
sion.
Office rents dropping
as vacancies up
The state of the economy and subse-
quent downsizing of businesses on the
Peninsula had office space vacancy
increasing with rents dropping, the
week of Jan. 3, 2009.
The Peninsulas softening office
space market continued in the third
quarter of 2008. As a result,
the market gained nearly
156,000 square feet of ofce
space, pushing vacancy rates
to 13.1 percent, according to a report
released that week by Grubb and Ellis,
a worldwide commercial real estate
company based in San Francisco.
San Mateos vacancy rate was 16.2
percent and rents ranged from $4.25
for Class Aspace to $3.50 for Class B
space, according to the Grubb and Ellis
report.

Six years after Erick Morales was formal-
ly charged with fatally stabbing a teen
acquaintance in 2001, the former Daly City
man began trial on the murder and weapons
charges that could send him to prison for
life.
The trial in the May 21, 2001, death of
15-year-old Quetzlcoatl Alba also comes
less than two months after a jury convicted
his former childhood friend and lover in the
same crime. Reynaldo Maldonado, 34, will
receive life in prison for the murder the
same sentence Morales, 32, faces although
he may not have the option of parole.
While Maldonado claimed during trial he
only helped clean up the crime scene, he
also took a photo of Morales standing over
Albas body.
Although ofcially underway, the trial is
off to a walking start with
motions due by the end of
next week and opening
statements not scheduled
until Jan. 27. The slow
progress is in line with
the entire cases history
which began with the dis-
covery of Albas body in
storage unit turned teen
hangout at the Westlake
Apartments, then stalling for years while
both suspects went on the lam and the unex-
pected restart in 2007 when Maldonado was
turned in by a friend in Florida. In 2009, two
years after Maldonados arrest, Morales was
apprehended after an East Coast trafc stop
revealed his identity.
The prosecution has been mum on a spe-
cic motive for Morales killing Alba, cit-
ing the pending trial, but during
Maldonados trial told jurors that the latter
held the teen down while the former stabbed
him repeatedly in the neck, arms and torso.
Maldonado testied on his own behalf that
Morales killed Alba and then called him to
help hide the weapon and other evidence.
Both men were eyed as suspects but each
left Daly City shortly after the murder.
Maldonado testified that he helped
Morales because the two had been friends
and lovers in Guatemala before each moved
to the Bay Area. He also said that Morales
father frightened him.
Jurors deliberated three days before con-
victing Maldonado of murder but rejected
the special allegation of lying in wait that
would have negated the possibility of
parole.
Maldonado and Morales are both in cus-
tody without bail. Maldonado will be sen-
tenced Jan. 31.

Trial starts for co-defendant in teen murder
OAKLAND Afederal judge on Thursday
ordered settlement talks between lawyers for
a California hospital and a 13-year-old
California girl declared brain dead after tonsil
surgery.
A federal magistrate will oversee the
mandatory talks on Friday between represen-
tatives of Childrens Hospital Oakland and
the family of Jahi McMath, U.S. District
Judge Saundra Brown said. Settlement confer-
ences are usually scheduled to expedite court
cases or to end them without a trial.
The hospital and Jahis mother are locked
in a harrowing clash over the girls care.
Childrens maintains that Jahi is legally dead
and that the ventilator keeping her heart
pumping should be removed. A state judge
originally ordered the hospital to keep the
ventilator in place until Dec. 30 at 5 p.m.,
but an hour before the deadline agreed to
extend it until Jan. 7.
The girls mother, Nailah Winkeld, wants
to transfer her to another facility and force
the hospital to either to t Jahi with the
breathing and feeding tubes she would need
to be moved safely or to allow an outside doc-
tor to perform the surgical procedures.
At this point, Jahi has not had nutrition
for nearly three weeks. She is in desperate
need of a tracheostomy tube and a gastric
tube, Winkfields lawyer, Christopher
Dolan, wrote in a motion led with Judge
Brown on Thursday. The defendant has
responded that ... they will not allow such a
procedure to be done and will not write dis-
charge instructions that instruct a physician
to carry out such orders.
Although another federal judge, Chief U.S.
District Judge Claudia Wilkens, already has
refused to order the hospital to insert the
requested gastric and tracheostomy tubes, the
dispute over the procedures is likely to gure
prominently in Fridays talks.
The hospitals lawyer, Douglas Straus, has
said doctors have no legal obligation to
operate on the body of a dead person, but that
the matter remains irrelevant for now because
the family has not named a doctor who is
willing to put in the tubes or a facility capa-
ble of caring for Jahi.
The issue also is being considered by the
state judge who so far has blocked Childrens
Hospital from removing Jahis ventilator.
Alameda County Superior Court Evelio
Grillo has scheduled a hearing for Friday
morning so he can speak with the opposing
sides about how to handle that part of the
case.

Former San Bruno jewelry
company worker charged with theft
A temporary worker at a San Bruno jewelry company
helped herself to samples and items shipped from East Coast
ofces that she later sold on eBay using
her husbands account, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
Prosecutors say Michelle D. Buckius,
48, caused the Stella & Dot online acces-
sories company to lose between $7,000
and $8,000 since her March 25, 2013,
hiring as a temporary accounts manager.
The alleged theft was uncovered when the
companys chief nancial ofcer noticed
items shipped form the East Coast ofces
were missing and a box of sample jewelry
went missing from a desk at the San Bruno ofce.
Surveillance video from the company ofce allegedly
showed Buckius removing the stolen jewelry and investiga-
tors reported nding the missing items for sale on eBay all
from the same seller. The sellers account belonged to
Buckius husband, according to prosecutors.
Her husband is not charged with any crime because inves-
tigators cannot prove he knew anything about the use of his
account, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Buckius pleaded not guilty yesterday to felony grand theft.
She previously waived a preliminary hearing on the evi-
dence. On Thursday, she also set an April 14 jury trial date.
If convicted, she faces up to three years in jail.
She remains free from custody on $10,000 bail.
BART Board members
approve revised labor contract
The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit agencys board
has overwhelmingly approved a revised labor deal with two
of its largest unions to nally resolve months of con-
tentious negotiations.
The Board on Thursday voted 8 to 1 to approve a four-year
contract to settle a dispute over paid medical leave for
employees that arose in November after BARTmanagement,
the ATU 1555 and the SEIU 1021 previously reached a deal
ending a second strike in October.
The new deal dropped a controversial clause granting
union members up to six weeks of paid family medical leave
that BART ofcials said was mistakenly included and would
cost $44 million if one-third of the agencys workers took
advantage of it.

Local briefs
By Jason Dearen
SAN FRANCISCO The California
Supreme Court granted a law license
Thursday to a man who has lived in the
U.S. illegally for two decades, a ruling
that advocates hope will open the door
to millions of immigrants seeking to
enter other professions such as medi-
cine, accounting and teaching.
The unanimous decision means
Sergio Garcia, who attended law
school and passed the state bar exam
while working in a grocery store and
on farms, can begin practicing law
immediately.
Its the latest in a string of legal and
legislative victories for people who
are in the country without permission.
Other successes include the creation of
a path to citizenship for many young
people and the granting of drivers
licenses in some states.
This is a bright new day in
California history and bodes well for
the future, the Coalition for Humane
Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles said
in a statement.
The court sided with state ofcials in
the case, which pitted them against the
White House over a 1996 federal law
that bars people who are in the U.S.
illegally from receiving professional
licenses from government agencies or
with the use of public money, unless
state lawmakers vote otherwise.
Bill Hing, a law professor at the
University of San Francisco, said the
court made clear the only reason it
granted Garcias request is that
California recently approved a law that
specifically authorizes the state to
give law licenses to immigrants who
are here illegally.
The new law, inspired by Garcias
situation, took effect Wednesday.
It was unclear how many people
would qualify to practice law under the
ruling and whether it would inuence
other states. Legislatures and gover-
nors in more conservative states such
as Alabama and Arizona are likely to be
less receptive to the idea.
Garcia, who plans to be a personal
injury attorney in his hometown of
Chico, said he hoped the decision
would serve as a beacon of hope to
others in the same situation.
He can hang up a shingle and be his
own company, said Hing, who repre-
sented the state bar association in the
case. Once he does that, a client can
retain him as a lawyer.
But some questions remained unre-
solved, such as whether Garcia can
appear in federal court or in other
states. Federal law makes it illegal for
law rms to hire him.
Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye,
who wrote the opinion, said the new
state law removed any barrier to
Garcias quest for a license. And no
other federal statute purports to pre-
clude a state from granting a license to
practice law to an undocumented immi-
grant, Cantil-Sakauye wrote.

SACRAMENTO The new year brought
relief for Americans who previously had no
health insurance or were stuck in poor plans,
but it also led to confusion after the troubled
rollout of the federal health care reforms sent
a crush of late applications to overloaded
government agencies. That created stacks of
yet-to-be-processed paperwork and thou-
sands if not millions of people unsure
about whether they have insurance.
Mike Estes of Beaverton, Ore., nally
received his insurance card on Dec. 27 after
applying in early November. Still, the fami-
ly was thrilled to have insurance through the
Oregon Health Plan, Oregons version of
Medicaid, because their previous $380-a-
month premium literally crushed our fami-
lys nances, Estes said.
Obama administration ofcials estimate
that 2.1 million consumers have enrolled so
far through the federal and state-run health
insurance exchanges that are a central feature
of the federal law. But even before coverage
began, health insurance companies com-
plained they were receiving thousands of
faulty applications from the government, and
some people who thought they had enrolled
for coverage have not received conrmation.
Tens of thousands of potential Medicaid
recipients in the 36 states relying on the fed-
eral exchange also are in limbo after the fed-
eral website that was supposed to send their
applications to the states failed to do so.
Reports of other complications were scat-
tered around the country.
In Burlington, Vt., the states largest hos-
pital had almost two dozen patients seek
treatment with new health insurance policies,
but more than half of those did not have
insurance cards. Minnesotas health care
exchange said 53,000 people had enrolled for
coverage through its marketplace, but it was
unable to conrm the insurance status of an
additional 19,000 people who created
accounts but did not appear to have purchased
plans.
In Connecticut, ofcials were pleading for
patience as call centers elded calls from peo-
ple who are concerned because they had yet to
receive a bill for premiums or an insurance
identication card.

female Marines in boot camp cant do
three pullups, the minimum standard
that was supposed to take effect with
the new year, prompting the Marine
Corps to delay the requirement, part of
the process of equalizing physical stan-
dards to integrate women into combat
j obs .
The delay rekindled sharp debate in the
military on the question of whether women
have the physical strength for some mili-
tary jobs, as service branches move toward
opening thousands of combat roles to them
in 2016.
Although no new timetable has been set
on the delayed physical requirement,
Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James
Amos wants training ofcials to continue
to gather data and ensure that female
Marines are provided with the best opportu-
nity to succeed, Capt. Maureen Krebs, a
Marine spokeswoman, said Thursday.
Starting with the new year, all female
Marines were supposed to be able to do at
least three pullups on their annual physical
tness test and eight for a perfect score. The
requirement was tested in 2013 on female
recruits at Marine Corps Recruit Depot,
Parris Island, S.C., but only 45 percent of
women met the minimum, Krebs said.
The Marines had hoped to institute the
pullups on the belief that pullups require the
muscular strength necessary to perform
common military tasks such as scaling a
wall, climbing up a rope or lifting and car-
rying heavy munitions.
Ofcials felt there wasnt a medical risk to
putting the new standard into effect as
planned across the service, but that the risk
of losing recruits and hurting retention of
women already in the service was unaccept-
ably high, she said.
Because the change is being put off,
women will be able to choose which test of
upper-body strength they will be graded on
in their annual physical tness test. Their
choices:
Pullups, with three the minimum. Three
is also the minimum for male Marines, but
they need 20 for a perfect rating.
Aexed-arm hang. The minimum is for
15 seconds; women get a perfect score if
they last for 70 seconds. Men dont do the
hang in their test.

LOCAL/NATION
By Charles Babington
and Jennifer Agiesta
WASHINGTON Americans enter 2014
with a profoundly negative view of their
government, expressing little hope that
elected officials can or will solve the
nations biggest problems, a new poll
nds.
Half say Americas system of democracy
needs either a lot of changes or a com-
plete overhaul, according to the poll con-
ducted by the AP-NORC Center for Public
Affairs Research. Just 1 in 20 says it works
well and needs no changes.
Americans, who have a reputation for
optimism, have a sharply pessimistic take
on their government after years of disap-
pointment in Washington.
The percentage of Americans saying the
nation is heading in the right direction has-
nt topped 50 in about a decade. In the new
poll, 70 percent lack condence in the gov-
ernments ability to make progress on the
important problems and issues facing the
country in 2014.
The poll comes about two months after
partisan gridlock prompted the rst govern-
ment shutdown in 17 years.
People feel somewhat better about their
personal lives. Most have at least some
condence that theyll be able to handle
their own problems in the coming year. A
narrow majority say theyd do a better job
running the country than todays leaders in
Washington.
Local and state governments inspire more
faith than the federal government, accord-
ing to the poll, with 45 percent at least
moderately condent in their state govern-
ment and 54 percent expressing that much
condence in their local government.
When asked to name up to 10 world or
national problems they would like the
government to be working on in 2014,
Americans chiefly cite issues that have
dominated and often ummoxed the
White House and Congress for ve years.
Health care reform topped the list. It is like-
l y, however, that those naming the issue
include both opponents and supporters of
President Barack Obamas sweeping health
care overhaul.
Jobs and the economy were next, fol-
lowed by the nations debt and decit spend-
i ng.
Some issues that draw ample media and
campaign attention rank lower in the pub-
lics priorities. No more than 3 percent of
Americans listed gay rights, abortion or
domestic spying as prime topics for gov-
ernment action.
Regardless of the issue, however,
Americans express remarkably little con-
dence that the federal government can make
real progress.
For instance, 86 percent of those who
called health care reform a top priority said
they want the government to put a lot or
a great deal of effort into it. But about half
of them (49 percent) are not at all con-
dent there will be real progress, and 20 per-
cent are only slightly condent.
This yawning gap between public desires
and expectations is one of the polls most
striking ndings. Even on an issue com-
pletely within the federal governments
control, the budget and national debt, 65
percent of those who called it a priority say
they have no condence in the govern-
ments ability to x it. Another 20 percent
are only slightly condent.
When it comes to the issues people cited
as most important to them, 80 percent want
the government to spend signicant effort
working on them. Yet 76 percent say they
have little or no condence the government
will make real progress.
But asked generally about the role of gov-
ernment in society, the AP-NORC Center
poll nds Americans divided on how active
they want government to be. Half say the
less government the better. However,
almost as many (48 percent) say there are
more things that government should be
doing.
On the economy, an area historically
driven by the private sector, the poll nds a
clear public desire for active government.
Fifty-seven percent of Americans say we
need a strong government to handle todays
complex economic problems.
Even among those who say the less gov-
ernment the better, 31 percent feel the
nation needs a strong government to handle
those complex problems.
Americans dont feel terribly optimistic
about their own economic opportunities.
Although 49 percent say their standard of
living surpasses their parents, most are
broadly pessimistic about the opportunity
to achieve the American Dream. And they
are mixed on whether people like them have
a good chance to improve their standard of
living.
Few are hopeful that the pieces are in
place for the government to improve. About
half are pessimistic about the countrys
ability to produce strong leaders generally.
And 61 percent are pessimistic about the
system of government overall and the way
leaders are chosen.
Poll: Americans have little faith in government
motive or suspects.
No one was hurt in the re that charred a
doorway, damaged the lobby and burned
upward toward the roof.
No bomb-making materials were found,
FBI spokesman Peter Lee said earlier.
The building was open for business on
Thursday with an increased police presence.
Consulate workers say surveillance
footage showed a person coming out of a van
parked outside the compound with two buck-
ets of gasoline, pouring it on the front of the
building, and setting it on re, said Wang
Chuan, a spokesman for the consulate.
We strongly condemn this despicable act
and have already made representations with
the U.S. on the attack, Wang said. And we
hope that the U.S. takes all necessary meas-
ures to provide adequate protection to the
consular personnel and properties and bring
the culprits to justice as soon as possible.
The consulate also would not speculate on
who might be responsible for the attack,
Wang said. The cost of repairs was not yet
known.
Lee said he did not know whether the con-
sulate had received any threats or been the
target of demonstrations.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman
Marie Harf said it was too early to judge
whether security at the consulate had been
adequate.
We take this incident very seriously, and
the Bureau of Diplomatic Security is work-
ing with the FBI and local authorities to
investigate and apprehend the perpetra-
tors, Harf said.
Police and reghters arrived at the re
around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday and the ames
were under control within minutes, fire
department spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge
said.
The re caused serious damage and endan-
gered consulate ofcials and citizens living
nearby, Wang said.
The consulate was struck by blaze in
March 2008, when a group of people poured
ammable liquid on a security gate at the
rear of the building and set it on re. No
injuries were reported.
That re came on the day San Francisco
supervisors heard public comment on
Chinas human rights record months prior
to the start of the 2008 Summer Olympics
in Beijing. The issue arose because of the
scheduled Olympic torch run through San
Francisco.
The FBI said the 2008 incident was not
related to Wednesdays re.
California Assembly Speaker John Perez
condemned the blaze.
This kind of shameful attack has no
place in California. While we are fortunate
there was no injury or major damage, this
attack on one of our diplomatic partners
must be condemned, Perez said.

MILLBRAE
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

JERUSALEM Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
blasted his Palestinian partner in
peace-making efforts on Thursday,
accusing him of embracing terror-
ists as heroes, harsh words that
clouded the start of Secretary of
State John Kerrys tenth trip to
the region to negotiate a peace
deal he claims is not mission
impossible.
Kerry arrived in Israel to broker
negotiations that are entering a
difcult phase aimed at creating a
Palestinian state alongside Israel.
He had dinner with Netanyahu and
planned to be in the West Bank on
Friday to talk with Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas. Kerry
is asking both leaders to make
tough, highly charged political
decisions in hopes of narrowing
differences on a framework that
will outline a nal peace pact.
Netanyahu greeted Kerry at the
prime ministers ofce and joked
that it had been a long time since
hed seen him. But after the initial
small talk, the Israeli leader took
aim at Abbas. He claimed Abbas
homecoming for Palestinian pris-
oners released from Israeli jails
earlier this week had led more
Israelis to wonder if the
Palestinians seriously want to nd
a way to end the decades-long dis-
pute.
I know that youre committed
to peace, Netanyahu told Kerry.
I know that Im committed to
peace, but unfortunately, given
the actions and words of
Palestinian leaders, theres grow-
ing doubt in Israel that the
Palestinians are committed to
peace.
Netanyahu was referring to
events surrounding Israels release
on Tuesday of more than two
dozen Palestinian prisoners con-
victed in deadly attacks against
Israelis. Netanyahu has faced
political pressure from Israeli
hard-liners for agreeing to release
a total of 104 Palestinian prison-
ers as part of the U.S.-brokered
package to restart the peace talks.
As with earlier releases, the
Palestinian prisoners received a
heros welcome upon their return
to the West Bank and Gaza, with
ofcials and jubilant relatives lin-
ing up to greet them. At his head-
quarters in Ramallah, Abbas wait-
ed to meet the men in the middle of
the night, and he pledged not to
sign any peace deal until all pris-
oners were released.
While he gave them a heros
welcome, Abbas, a long-standing
critic of violence who has pledged
his commitment to a two-state
solution, did not condone the pris-
oners deeds.
Kerry: Mideast peace still possible despite rifts
By Ian Deitch
JERUSALEM Former Israeli
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who
has been in a coma for eight years,
was in critical condition on
Thursday, clinging to life after a
decline in the functioning of vari-
ous bodily organs, his doctors
said.
Dr. Zeev Rotstein, director of Tel
Hashomer hospital, said Sharons
condition had
d e t e r i o r a t e d
over the past
two days and
that a number of
vital organs,
including his
kidneys, were
suffering from
critical mal-
function. His
family was at his bedside, he added.
He is in critical condition and
his life is denitely in danger,
Rotstein told reporters at the hos-
pital, just outside Tel Aviv. The
feeling of the doctors treating him
and also that of the family with
him is that there is a turn for the
worse.
Israeli TV stations were broad-
casting live from the hospital
where they reported all the com-
ings and goings while special ret-
rospectives on his life were aired
along with interviews with old
friends and political allies. Old
interviews with his were shown,
highlighting the charming, grand-
fatherly image he cultivated later
in life. Sharons medical condition
also dominated the front pages of
newspapers and radio shows all
day.
Visiting U.S. Secretary of State
John Kerry also addressed his con-
dition ahead of a meeting with
Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu.

Two newspapers call for
clemency for Snowden
Local brief
By Raphael Satter
LONDON The New York Times
and Guardian newspapers have
called for clemency for Edward
Snowden, saying that the espi-
onage worker-turned-privacy advo-
cate should be praised rather than
punished for his disclosures.
The papers both of which have
played a role in publishing
Snowdens intelligence trove
suggested late Wednesday that the
former National Security Agency
contractors revelations about the
United States world-spanning espi-
onage program were of such public
importance that
they outweighed
any possible
wrongdoing.
Considering
the enormous
value of the
information he
has revealed,
and the abuses
he has exposed,
Mr. Snowden
deserves better
than a life of permanent exile, fear
and ight, the Times said, calling
either for a plea bargain, some form
of clemency, or a substantially
reduced punishment.

OPINION 9
Persecution of religions
Editor,
Thank you for the Op-Ed Warped
zeal against Christians in the Jan. 2
edition of the Daily Journal. This
report about radical Muslim persecu-
tion of Christians is way overdue.
Recent attacks on Christians and
their churches in Iraq, Syria and
Egypt must be condemned.
Previously, Muslim countries forced
about 800,000 Jewish citizens to
leave. Radical Muslims have launched
terrible terrorism against Israeli Jews.
The radical Muslims persecute all
other religions. Western democracies
must nd a way to respond, possibly
by isolation of radical Muslims in
addition to ceasing all nancial aid
and trade relationships.

Christians under attack
Editor,
Thank you for the Jan. 2 edition of
the Daily Journals Other voices
Warped zeal against Christians by
the Charleston Post and Courier
regarding the deadly assaults on
Christians in the Middle East. No one
is safe as long as radical Islam goes
unchecked. The rise of political Islam
in Egypt and Turkey is especially
alarming as these two nations had a
secular political structure.
This Op-Ed did leave out one nation
where Christians are not an endan-
gered species: Israel. The Jewish state
is the only country in the Middle East
where the Christian population is
actually increasing. This is even
more remarkable as the Christian
birth rate is lower than the Muslim or
Jewish rate. In 1948, when Israel was
established, there were less than
50,000 Christians and now there are
more than 160,000. These numbers
are in stark contrast to her neighbors
where Christians have ed persecu-
tion and civil strife.

Climate change
is that a fact?
Editor,
In the Dec. 23 edition of the Daily
Journal, Tim Murphys Petition
Scam letter to editor addresses my
Dec. 20 Climate change scam letter
to editor. He states a questionable
petition of approximately 31,000
scientists who do not believe in cli-
mate change and a weathermans
opinion is a weak argument.
The case against climate change is
supported by numerous reasons, too
many to list in a short letter. Afew
decades ago the case for another ice
age was in the news. According to
NASA, the average temperature on the
planet between 1940 and 1970
dropped .18 Fahrenheit (.1 Celsius).
In Time magazine edition of Monday,
Jun. 24, 1974, there was an article
titled Another Ice Age? Aportion of
the article stated: Climatological
Cassandras are becoming increasing
apprehensive, for the weather aberra-
tions they are studying may be the
harbinger of another ice age.
Currently, the best-case scenario
for climate change is it being a theo-
ry, despite it being presented as a
fact. Another theory presented as fact
is evolution. Amajority of people
believing something is a fact does
not make it a fact. Afact is knowledge
or information based on real occur-
rences. Both climate change and evo-
lution supporters choose to believe
based on their acceptance of informa-
tion presented by some professionals
and reject opposing information pre-
sented by other professionals.
Therefore, calling people climate
change deniers does not make any
sense when they are actually skep-
tics.

Letters to the editor
Riverside Press-Enterprise
C
alifornias Legislature starts
the new year facing many of
the same old policy chal-
lenges issues which still demand
attention. Legislators need to avoid
the political distractions of an elec-
tion year, and focus on addressing cru-
cial public business.
Here are the key issues legislators
should tackle in the coming year:
State nances: The Legislature
should not use projections of ush
times ahead as an excuse to abandon
scal restraint. Legislators should
know by now the dangers of spending
money that has not yet appeared,
given Californias volatile stream of
tax receipts. The Legislature should
use any surplus to stabilize state
nances, by repaying billions in past
budgetary borrowing and creating a
real reserve. And legislators should
put any additional tax collections
toward one-time expenses, such as a
large backlog of infrastructure main-
tenance projects, instead of ramping
up spending on continuing programs.
Education: The Legislature
revamped the states school nance
system in 2013, and now needs to
make sure that crucial reform suc-
ceeds. The state will direct more tax
money to districts with large numbers
of pupils who typically require extra
academic help. But legislators need to
ensure that the money actually goes
to help educationally needy students,
and that the state holds districts
accountable for their use of those tax
dollars. Legislators also need to
streamline the costly, cumbersome
process of ring misbehaving teach-
ers.
Retirement costs: The state still
faces a funding gap of more than
$175 billion over 30 years for gov-
ernment workers retirement pay-
outs, despite the limited package of
reforms legislators approved in
2012. Legislators still need to direct
teachers and districts to increase the
money flowing into the teachers
retirement plan, because the system
is on course to run out of money in
about three decades. And the state
should move more retirees onto
Medicare, instead of asking taxpay-
ers to fund a separate health care
perk for government workers.
Corrections: Legislators need to
address both state and local correc-
tions needs in 2014. The state needs
to create a more coherent criminal
sentencing system and provide incen-
tives for inmates to participate in
counseling and education programs
that lessen the chance of reoffending.
Legislators also need to ensure the
success of the 2011 law that shifted
responsibility for some felons and
parolees to counties. Counties need
sufcient resources, ranging from tax
funding to jail space, to handle the
new duties without harming public
safety.
Water: Legislators still need to
address the environmental ills of the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, which
threaten water exports to the rest of
the state. California also needs to
increase water storage capacity,
including catching and saving more
winter storm runoff. And the state
needs to improve oversight of pump-
ing from underground aquifers.
Legislators should start by creating
an affordable, carefully focused water
bond measure to replace the pork-
laden $11.1 billion monstrosity now
slated for the 2014 ballot.
Key issues for Californias Legislature
Wash and
a prayer
A
plastic item wrapped in fabric was placed in the
washing machine. It was a piece of a childs
play mat to be given away soon. The plastic
piece punctured the rubber wall of the front-loading
washing machine door gasket, upon which we placed
duct tape. Everything seemed to be in order.
It wasnt. Some time later, evidence of water damage
was seen creeping up the side of the wooden built-in
pantry next to the machine indicating indubitable
trouble. Water had pooled beneath both machine and
pantry. Both had to be removed to determine damage.
The floor had to be replaced, along with the pantry.
For some time, our food
was stored in paper bags
upon small tables. We
replaced the tiles and
sealed what needed to be
sealed. Anew door gasket
arrived via UPS and the
process of installing it
should not be wished
upon anyone. Numerous
folds of rubber, two
springy metal bands, a
large amount of regret-
table profanity, pinched
fingers and the idea of
using string and the
torque of a hand-turned
screwdriver to pull the
band into place and it was
done.
We purchased a new pantry from IKEAand after were
poorer by two hours and about $400. Better than the man
in line next to us who had spent six and a half hours
there. We drove the flat boxes home and shoved their
mighty weight into the garage until the opportunity for
its construction.
There was a slight recollection of pinging sounds in
the IKEAparking lot as we loaded the boxes. Were those
metal objects falling from the boxes necessary for our
pending task?
They were. The construction opportunity arrived at nap
time, not ours, but our daughters, and we were immedi-
ately immersed in the arduous task of constructing this
8-foot monstrosity on our kitchen floor to be lifted into
place upon completion. Like home burglars trying to
complete a task before the home owner awakened we
were silent and quick in our movements. The deed was
nearly done when our daughter awoke and we quickly
placed her in front of the television for us to complete
the job. It was not the ideal situation, but necessary. The
parking lot pings were pegs to hold the shelves and
those would have to be ordered. They arrived eventually
and the shelves were installed and our food was replaced
back into an orderly fashion albeit diminished in
quantity. The doors would be installed later.
Afew weeks later, there was a rattle within the con-
fines of the washer which eventually subsided. One
might presume the rattle somehow was fixed but a wiser
person would know it was not. Afew days later, water
made a return appearance on the floor. To the gasket I
returned and replaced both springy bands with consider-
able trouble.
All seemed to be well. Until two mysterious warning
lights appeared. The Internet explained that drainage was
blocked and that a pump area at the bottom of the
machine had to be cleared of debris. After draining small
bowl after small bowl into larger bucket after larger
bucket, the debris was found two pennies and a paper
clip. They were discarded, the area was cleaned and every-
thing was back in order. Until the machine stopped
draining. Perhaps it was the pump itself. An upbeat
British man on YouTube described its replacement as
easy can be provided you pull the machine apart and
put it on its side.
I wanted to try one more thing. Astick would surely
work. And with this stick, I cleared the area of debris and
spun the pump around several times both clockwise and
anti-clockwise (as the British man said). And that, my
friends, did the trick.
Or perhaps it is again temporary, and there will be need
for professional intervention as likely should have
been the case from the start.

Big movers

NEWYORK Investors may already
feel a little nostalgic for 2013.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
began the New Year with its worst per-
formance in three weeks as energy and
technology companies pulled down the
stock market.
Stocks started the year at lofty
heights after a combination of rising
company earnings and economic stim-
ulus from the Federal Reserve pushed
major indexes to record levels in 2013.
The S&P500 surged almost 30 percent,
its best year since 1997, and the Dow
Jones industrial average climbed 26.5
percent, the most since 1995.
The market was grossly overbought
and needed to pull back, said Peter
Cardillo, chief market economist at
Rockwell Global Capital. But funda-
mentally everything is looking pretty
good.
The S&P 500 dropped 16.38 points,
or 0.9 percent, to 1,831.98, its worst
start to a years trading since Jan. 2,
2008, when the index slumped 1.4 per-
cent.
The Dow fell 135.31 points, or 0.8
percent, to 16,441.35. The Nasdaq
composite slid 33.52 points, or 0.8
percent, to 4,143.07.
Energy stocks fell as the price of oil
dropped $2.98, or 3 percent, to $95.44
a barrel. Oil slumped after reports that
an end to protests at a major Libyan oil
eld could return 300,000 barrels of
daily production to the global market.
Technology stocks lost ground after
analysts published gloomy notes on
companies in the sector. Analog
Devices lost $1.65, or 3.2 percent, to
$49.28 after analysts at Goldman
Sachs advised its clients to sell the
chipmakers stock, saying its over-
valued compared to its peers.
Apple fell $7.89, or 1.4 percent, to
$553.13, after Wells Fargo cut its out-
look on the stock to market perform
from outperform, saying prot mar-
gins may come under pressure later this
year.
Some analysts said investors should-
nt read too much into the lackluster
start to the year because trading vol-
umes were below normal as the holiday
season wound down with many market
participants still away from their
desks.
I dont think we can really start
counting till Monday, said Dan
Morris, Global Investment Strategist
at TIAA-CREF. Alot of people are still
on holiday.
Investors will be hoping that the
stock market steadies because its per-
formance in January often gives an
indication of how the rest of the year
might turn out. The January barometer
has proven accurate almost 90 percent
of years since 1950, according to the
Stock Traders Almanac.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note climbed to 2.99 percent from 2.97
percent after some encouraging reports
on the economy. The yield on the note,
which rises when investors sell bonds,
is close to its highest since July 2011.
The number of Americans seeking
unemployment benets last week fell
by 2,000, extending a recovery in the
job market, and U.S. manufacturing
grew at a healthy pace in December as
factories stepped up hiring and received
more orders.
Among other stocks making big
moves, Martha Stewart Living
Omnimedia climbed 37 cents, or 8.8
percent, to $4.56 after it announced an
end to its bitter standoff with Macys
over a breach-of-contract lawsuit
involving J.C. Penney.
After year of records, weak start to 2014
The market was grossly
overbought and needed to pull back. ... But
fundamentally everything is looking pretty good.

NEW YORK Its a new year, so
once again its time to take Dogs of
the Dow out for a run.
This annual Wall Street strategy has
investors kick off January by buying
the 10 highest-yielding stocks in the
Dow Jones industrial average and hold
them for rest of the year.
Yield is the annual dividend from a
company divided by its stock price.
The higher yields of the Dogs signal
that their stock prices have declined
the most among the Dows 30 blue-
chip companies.
The goal of the strategy is to earn
more dividend income and hope that
the stocks also mount a comeback.
If a companys stock price is $1 and
it pays a dividend of 5 cents to share-
holders, the yield is 5 percent. Yields
are attractive to some investors
because companies will rarely cut their
dividend payout to shareholders,
except under extreme circumstances.
This years Dogs are a lot like the
ones from 2013.
In the top spot is AT&T, which has a
dividend yield of around 5.2 percent,
followed by Verizon Communications,
which has a yield of 4.3 percent. Both
Verizon and AT&T held the number one
and two spots, respectively, going
into 2013 last January.
Rounding out the top 10 Dogs of
the Dow are Merck, Intel, Pfizer,
McDonalds, Chevron, General
Electric, Cisco and Microsoft.
Collectively, 2014s Dogs have a
dividend yield of around 4 percent.
New year means time for newDogs of the Dow
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON Expectations are
rising for a stronger U.S. economy in
2014 after reports Thursday showed
solid growth in manufacturing and
construction spending at the end of
last year.
Factory activity in December stayed
near a 2 1/2 -year high. Americans are
buying more cars and homes, increas-
ing demand for steel, furniture and
other manufactured goods.
Manufacturers have boosted hiring to
meet that demand and may add jobs at a
healthier pace this year.
And builders stepped up spending on
home construction in November,
despite recent increases in borrowing
rates. That suggests many remain con-
dent in the housing recovery.
The economy has had bursts of
healthy growth since the recession
ended in June 2009, only to be fol-
lowed by disappointing slowdowns.
But many analysts think growth is
now more sustainable.
There was strength in some impor-
tant sectors of the economy at the end
of last year, Paul Dales, an economist
at Capital Economics, said. 2014
could be the year where the recovery
really starts to gain some ground.
The Institute for Supply
Management, a trade group of purchas-
ing managers, said Thursday that its
index of manufacturing activity
slipped to 57 in December from 57.3
the previous month. But thats still the
second-highest reading since April
2011. And any reading above 50 sig-
nals growth.
The ISMs measure increased for six
straight months through November.
A measure of new orders rose to the
highest level since April 2010. And a
gauge of hiring increased to its high-
est level since June 2011. Indexes of
production and manufacturers stock-
piles fell.
Separately, construction spending
rose 1 percent in November to a sea-
sonally adjusted annual rate of $934.4
billion, the Commerce Department
said. Thats the highest in more than
four years.
Factory, construction growth boost 2014 outlook
FireEye buys firm that
tied cyberattacks to China
NEW YORK FireEye Inc. said Thursday it has
acquired Mandiant Corp., the rm that linked years of
cyberattacks against U.S. companies to a secret Chinese
military unit.
FireEye said that the purchase of privately held
Mandiant would increase its ability to stop attacks in
their early stages.
The company valued the deal at nearly $1 billion.
FireEye said it would buy 21.5 million shares and options
of its stock worth about $884 million at Thursdays
closing price and pay $106.5 million in cash to for-
mer Mandiant investors.
FireEye makes computer-security software. It had a suc-
cessful initial public offering of stock in September, with
the shares nearly doubling in price on the rst day of trad-
ing. The Milpitas-based company said its customers
include more than 100 of the Fortune 500 corporations.
Virginia-based Mandiant drew attention last February
when it issued a detailed report tracing attacks on 141
companies to a hacking unit in Shanghai that experts
believe is part of the Chinese Armys cyber command.
The Chinese government denied the rms accusations,
but the incident helped the company burnish a reputation
in cybersecurity.
Mandiants clients include more than one-third of the
largest 100 corporations, according to FireEye.
Snapchat says to make app more secure
NEWYORK Snapchat says it plans to put out a more
secure version of its application following a breach that
allowed hackers to collect the usernames and phone num-
bers of some 4.6 million of its users.
The disappearing-message service popular with young
people said in a blog post late Thursday that the updated
version of its app would allow users to opt out of its
Find Friends feature and would stem future attempts to
abuse its service.
The breach occurred after security experts warned the
company at least twice about a vulnerability in its sys-
tem.

SUGAR BOWL: OKLAHOMA SHOCKS THE CRIMSOM TIDE >> PAGE 12
By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Colin Kaepernick has
no idea why two of his best games as a pro
have come against the very team he grew up
cheering as a Packers cheesehead.
He has beaten Green Bay nearly every way
imaginable in two meetings over the past
year. In a sensational playoff debut last
January, he used his speedy legs to run for a
quarterback playoff-record 181 yards and a
pair of touchdowns. In
the season opener in
September, the strong-
armed San Francisco QB
threw for a career-best
412 yards and three
scores.
Really cant say why,
it has just worked out that
way, Kaepernick said
about the success.
Weve played well when
weve played against them.
He is hoping for the same result by what-
ever means necessary Sunday, when the
reigning NFC champion Niners (12-4) play
in the bitter cold of Green Bay in the wild-
card playoff round as they chase a return trip
to the Super Bowl and the franchises sixth
championship.
The biggest challenge for Kaepernick this
time might be holding onto the ball as the
temperature dips into single digits or,
gasp, below.
The ball is going to be harder and thats
really the No. 1 obstacle, offensive coordi-
nator Greg Roman said Thursday. Its more
about the ball and the grip.
That divisional-round playoff win last
year at Candlestick Park is still fresh for all
involved. It went a long way to launch not
only an impressive Super Bowl run for San
Francisco but also an offseason lled with
glamorous appearances and awards shows

Carlmonts Soha Said,left,beats Notre Dame-Belmonts Monet Mendenhall to the ball during the Scots4-1 win in the Battle of Belmont. Said
had two goals and an assist to lead the Scots to the win.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
About a year ago, Carlmont striker Soha
Said had left ankle surgery after suffering an
injury during practice.
Ayear later, Said is back to her brilliant self
for the Scots, instantly putting them in the
discussion for a Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division title.
Said scored twice and added an assist to lead
the Scots to a 4-1 win over Notre Dame-
Belmont in the annual Battle of Belmont
game at Carlmont Thursday.
Said started feeling normal again two or
three months after the procedure, she said. And
with a season of club soccer under her belt, she
is feeling condent with the Scots again.
Its been a hard but really good rehab, she
said. Every game I look forward to see what
where I am (on a competitive level).
Said, a junior, is quickly approaching her
form as a freshman, when she helped lead
Carlmont to the Central Coast Section
Division I seminals in 2012.
Notre Dame-Belmont proved to be danger-
ous as well, but the Tigers could not convert
on their opportunities and were mostly quiet
in the second half after a back-and-forth open-
ing 40 minutes.
Junior striker Jessica Parque and freshman
midelder Luca Deza were at the heart of the
Tigers attack in the rst half, making several
dangerous runs and passes.
It was Dezas heads-up play on a free kick
that knotted the score at 1 late in the rst half,
but Carlmont made adjustments at halftime

Despite losing two straight in the Diablo
Valley College Classic tournament, the
Skyline mens basketball team is sitting pret-
ty at 8-4 heading into the start of Coast
Conference play beginning next week.
Thats the good news for the Trojans. The
bad news? The Coast Conference North
Division is arguably the toughest conference
in Northern California. City College of San
Francisco (14-1), Ohlone-Fremont (13-2) and
Chabot-Hayward (13-3) all have double-digit
wins during non-conference play and are all
ranked in the top 20 in the state.
Skyline opens conference play Jan. 10 at
home versus San Francisco.
Skyline earned its rst state ranking in a
while, holding down the No. 12 spot in the
Dec. 16 CCCAApoll.
How tough is the Coast Conference North?
Six of the seven teams have .500 or better
records, with only Caada really struggling at
4-11.
Compare that to the Coast Conference
South Division in which only a pair of squads
in the seven-team division have winning
records. Skylines 8-4 mark would give the
Trojans the best win-loss record in the divi-
sion.
The Trojans continue to depend on the tri-
umvirate of Elijah White and Kevin
Brandenberg at guard and Brandon Berkovatz
in the post. Those three all score in double g-
ures, with White leading the way at nearly 14
points a game.
Both Brandenberg and Berkovatz are scor-
ing an average of 12 and 11, respectively, and
combine for nearly 15 rebounds per game.
D.J. Harvey and Aaron Brown are providing
some offensive punch as well, averaging
almost 10 points a game.
Much like Skyline, Caada has three players

MIAMI Game-high in points. Game-
high in assists. Game-high in steals. Oh,
and for good measure, he made as many 3-
pointers as the entire Miami Heat roster.
Stephen Curry had another night to
remember.
And the Golden State Warriors continued
their surge.
Curry nished with 36 points, 12 assists,
four steals and made eight 3-pointers, David
Lee finished with 32 points and 14
rebounds, and the Warriors ran past the Heat
123-114 Thursday night to extend the
NBAs longest current winning streak to
seven games.
Curry was spectacular, Warriors coach
Mark Jackson said. If he doesnt make the
All-Star team, I might retire.
If the Heat had a vote, Jacksons job
would be safe.
One of the best shooters this NBA will
see, Heat star LeBron James said. I mean,
if you can nd a better shooter than him
right now, especially with the way he han-
dles the ball and the light that he has, its
more than green, its uorescent you just
hope that he misses.
He did miss a few. Just not very many.
Curry was 13 for 22 from the oor, 8 of 15
from beyond the arc. Lee made 13 of 17
shots. The Warriors made 15 3-pointers; the
Curry carries Warriors past the Heat

NEW ORLEANS Bob Stoops
declined to announce a starting
quarterback before the Sugar Bowl,
and when freshman Trevor Knight
took the eld on the Sooners rst
possession, Alabamas defenders
couldnt have anticipated what was
in store.
Knight completed a Sugar Bowl-
record 32 passes for 348 yards and
four touchdowns, and No. 11
Oklahoma took down third-ranked
Alabama, 45-31 on Thursday
night.
Knights completion percentage
entering the game was 52.2. He
had completed 47 passes all sea-
son, before a breakout perform-
ance in which two of his TDs went
for more than 40 yards.
Oklahoma (11-2) needed him to
play that well in the 80th Sugar
Bowl, the rst in which quarter-
backs for both teams threw for
more than 300 yards.
The victory was a sweet one for
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, who
last offseason called talk about the
Southeastern Conference being
the best league in college football
propaganda.
His Big 12 team vanquished an
Alabama (11-2) squad that had
been ranked No. 1 much of the past
three seasons, winning the previ-
ous two national titles before its
shot at a third straight was derailed
by Auburn on the last play last
month in the Iron Bowl.
AJ McCarron passed for 387
yards and two TDs, but his two
interceptions set up Oklahoma
TDs, and his fumble, returned for a
score in the nal minute, sealed
Bamas rst two-game skid since
its Sugar Bowl loss to Utah in
January 2009. McCarron, mean-
while, lost his last two starts after
going 36-2 before those games.
Freshman Derrick Henrys 43-
yard run in the third quarter pulled
Alabama to 31-24, and the
Crimson Tide defense forced four
punts while giving up only one
rst down in the third quarter. But
Alabama was unable to add another
score before the Sooners starting
moving the ball again early in the
nal quarter.
Knight lofted a perfect pass to
Lacoltan Bester for a 34-yard gain
to the Alabama 9. Shortly after,
Knight rolled left all the way to
the sideline before riing a touch-
down strike to Sterling Shepard,
making it a two-touchdown game
again with 10:44 left.
Henry, a 6-foot-3, 238-pound
true freshman, pulled Alabama
back with in a score once more
when he turned his first career
completion into a tackle-shedding
61-yard TD with 6:22 still to go.
But Oklahoma was able to burn
several minutes off the clock, and
then Oklahoma registered its sev-
enth sack when Eric Striker
stripped McCarron, and Geneo
Grissom returned it 8 yards for a
score.
Both teams entered the Sugar
Bowl with defenses ranked in the
top 15 nationally, but quarterback
play dominated a rst half high-
lighted by ve passing plays of
43 yards or longer, three of which
went for scores.
Oklahoma beats Alabama 45-31 in Sugar Bowl
By Ralph D. Russo
NEWPORT BEACH Lamarcus
Joyner is listed on Florida States
depth chart as a cornerback. That
fails to tell the whole story of the
All-America defensive back.
Auburns C.J. Uzomah is the
Tigers No. 1 tight end, though
hes almost as likely to line up out
wide or in the back eld.
In college football today it
helps to have players who are hard
to dene because it also makes
them hard to neutralize. Hybrid is
the term that gets thrown around a
lot. Joyner and Uzomah t the
description and could have a major
impact on the BCS championship
game Monday night, when the
top-ranked Seminoles and No. 2
Tigers meet in the Rose Bowl.
Joyner is the Swiss Army knife
of Florida States stingy and fast
defense, which ranks tops in the
nation in yards per play (3.95) and
third in yards per game (268.5)
allowed.
First of all hes very intelli-
gent, Florida State defensive
coordinator Jeremy Pruitt said
Thursday. Hes got a lot of foot-
ball savvy about him. We play six
defensive backs and he can play
all six positions. Hes a really
good man-to-man guy. He can play
the ball in the deep part of the
eld. He can tackle in space. Hes a
great blitzer. Hes just an all-
around good football player.
If Joyner was a basketball play-
er, hed be a point guard who lls
up the stat sheet.
The 5-foot-8, 190-pound senior
and former ve-star recruit from
Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was second
on the team in tackles with 64, led
the team in sacks with ve, had
two interceptions, four passes
broken up and three forced fumbles
this season.
Hes been asked to do a lot
and wished he could do even more.
If its important enough to you,
you would do it and the passion
that I have for the game it allows
me to do so, he said. Whatever I
have to learn I will do it. If the dear
Lord blessed me to be 50 pounds
heavier and 3 more inches taller I
may go to linebacker or d-end or
something. I just love football.
While most cornerbacks become
stars because of their ability to
play on an island, isolated with an
elite receiver, Joyner thrives on
being in on the action.
I love being around that ball,
he said. You have some lockdown
corners and they dont get any
action. I get to roam around on the
football eld, stick my nose in
everyones business and always be
around the football.
Auburn offensive coordinator

former Alabama All-America cor-
nerback Gilbert Arenas.
Hes a guy we have to know
where hes at, Lashlee said. We
have to account for him because
you see some plays some teams
run the ball one way and hes mak-
ing a play 20 yards on the other
side of the eld before guys on that
side of the eld are. You can tell
hes got a high football IQ.

SAN JOSE Brent Burns and Patrick
Marleau scored goals 49 seconds apart in
the rst period to lead the San Jose Sharks
to their fth win in six games, 5-1 over the
Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.
Bracken Kearns and Logan Couture added
goals 1:27 apart in the second period to
give each scores in three straight games as
the Sharks beat the Oilers for the sixth
straight time. Joe Pavelski added a goal and
an assist and Antti Niemi made 23 saves for
San Jose.
Nail Yakupov scored the lone goal for the
last-place Oilers, who looked at to open
the new year in the front end of a difcult
back-to-back. The Oilers play Friday night
at the rst-place Anaheim Ducks, who have
not lost at home in regulation all season.
The Sharks have been nearly as tough at
home so far, losing just once in regulation.
San Jose needed to go to a shootout in ve
of its previous eight home games before
dispatching the Oilers easily by scoring
twice in each of the rst two periods against
Devan Dubnyk.
The Sharks got off to a fast start once
again, breaking out to a 2-0 lead in the rst
period for the 15th time in 41 games this
season.
San Jose squandered a pair of early power-
play chances and needed Niemi to make two
pad stops on Sam Gagner on one of them to
keep the game scoreless.
The Sharks then used great puck move-
ment on their rst goal and a takeaway for
their second to take the 2-0 lead.
Justin Braun got a shot on net from the
point and Pavelski sent the rebound to
Burns, who knocked it in the short side of
the net for his 13th goal.
Less than a minute later, Marleau took the
puck from Yakupov near the boards and
skated to the high slot, where he beat
Dubnyk with a wrister for his team-leading
18th goal of the season.
San Jose broke it open with the two goals
in the second. Kearns, who scored his rst
career goal at age 32 on Sunday, struck for
the third time in as many games when he
took a pass from Andrew Desjardins in the
slot and one-timed it past an unsuspecting
Dubnyk.
Couture then took a break out pass from
John McCarthy and beat Dubnyk on a
breakaway to make it 4-0 and give him 200
career points.
Yakupov scored his second goal of the
season against the Sharks later in the sec-
ond and gave an emphatic st pump that
drew boos from the sellout crowd.
Those turned to cheers and chants of U-S-
A! U-S-A! in the third when Pavelski one-
timed a shot past Dubnyk just one day after
being picked for his second U.S. Olympic
team.
Sharks start fast in 5-1 win versus Oilers
Sharks 5, Oilers 1
LAKE FOREST, Ill. If the Bears make
changes this offseason, it will not be at quarter-
back.
Chicago signed Jay Cutler to a seven-year
contract Thursday, ending speculation they
might make a change after ve seasons of good
and bad from their talented signal-caller. Cutler
clearly thrived under rst-year coach Marc
Trestman and now has some of the best comple-
ments on offense hes had since arriving in
Chicago in 2009.
Its not always been easy, Cutler said.
Theres been some ups and downs. Theres been
some bad years theres been some good years. I
think it makes me appreciate the moment Im in
even more, with the offensive weapons we
have, with the type of leadership we have from
the front ofce, with the type of coaching staff
we have with the play calling and our (offen-
sive) install. It makes me happy Im here.
The Bears also signed cornerback Tim
Jennings, who has led the team in interceptions
in each of the past two seasons, and guard Matt
Slauson to four-year deals. Like Cutler, both
players were scheduled to become free agents.
General manager Phil Emery said the team and
Cutlers agent, Bus Cook, completed contract
discussions three days after the season ended
Sunday with a 33-28 loss to the Green Bay
Packers in a game that decided the NFC North
title. Terms were not disclosed, but the deal for
the 30-year-old Cutler is reportedly worth near-
ly $18 million per year over the rst three years
and includes at least $50 million guaranteed.
Bears sign Cutler to 7-year deal
TAMPA, Fla. The Buccaneers say Lovie
Smith is the ideal man to coach Tampa Bay.
The team made it ofcial Thursday, announc-
ing the one-time Tony Dungy protege who led
the Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl seven
years ago nalized a ve-year contract that he
had reportedly agreed to on Wednesday. He
will be formally introduced at a news confer-
ence next Monday.
The 55-year-old Smith replaces Greg
Schiano, who was red Monday following a 4-
12 nish. The Bucs also dismissed general
manager Mark Dominik, and the search for his
successor continues.
Bucs co-chairman Bryan Glazer called it an
exciting day for the organization.
We knew from the start of our search that he
was the ideal man to lead our team into a new
era. ... Lovie is an accomplished and very
well-respected head coach who has enjoyed
success at every level of his 30-year career,
Glazer said.
In hiring someone with a proven track
record as a NFLhead coach, ownership depart-
ed from the route taken for two other coaching
changes over the past ve years.
The Glazer family promoted Raheem Morris
from defensive coordinator to replace Jon
Gruden after the Bucs missed the playoffs in
2008. They opted for another candidate with
no previous NFL head coaching experience
when they lured Schiano from Rutgers.
Tampa hires Smith
Heat managed only eight.
Its a good experience against a champi-
onship-caliber team, Curry said. They
know how to get it done so to come in here
and play the way we did, it shows were on
the right path.
Klay Thompson scored 16 points and
Harrison Barnes added 15 for the Warriors.
James scored 26 points and Dwyane Wade
added 22 for the Heat, who had all ve
starters in double gures. Chris Bosh scored
19, Mario Chalmers had 17 and Shane
Battier added 11 for Miami.
But the Heat allowed Golden State to
shoot 56 percent, plus nish with a 40-31
rebounding edge.
They played a heck of a ball game, Heat
coach Erik Spoelstra said. They deserved to
win this one.
About the only blip for the Warriors were
turnovers. They had 20, which Miami turned
into 32 points. Without those, this might
have been a lot worse.
More than anything it keeps the ball
rolling, Lee said after matching his sea-
son-high for scoring. Anytime you play
the champions like this its a measuring
point. Tonight was no exception.
They were sizzling from the get-go. The
Warriors opened by making 11 of their rst
13 shots and somewhat unbelievably,
were trailing at time, down 29-28 for a few
seconds late in the rst quarter.
Golden State scored on 14 of its rst 21
possessions and led 38-33 after the opening
quarter, putting up the highest point total
for any period against the Heat this season.
Things cooled, albeit slightly, in the sec-
ond, and the Warriors went into the break
with a 65-61 advantage.
And then the third quarter was all about
Curry.
SPORTS 14
for Kaepernick with his newfound rock-star
status.
Everybody calls that kind of his break-
out game, center Jonathan Goodwin said.
He made a lot of big plays with his legs and
that sticks out.
Kaepernicks rst full season as a starter
this year has had some bumps, with a pair of
two-game losing streaks as well as several
big performances like that Week 1 outing
against the Packers.
San Francisco has outscored Green Bay
79-59 the past two games, while also
defeating the Packers 30-22 in Week 1 of
2012 at Lambeau Field.
Whether Kaepernick can duplicate what he
has already accomplished against the team
he long loved will be seen Sunday.
Just pretty good execution there,
Roman said. Its probably just happen-
stance really. Colin played really well and
everybody around him played really well as
well. Every games different.
Green Bay sure knows it. After spending
significant time during the offseason
focused on stopping the read option after
the embarrassment that ensued following
Kaepernicks performance, the Packers did
well stopping the run in Week 1 only to see
Kaepernick go off with his arm complet-
ing 13 passes for 208 yards to Anquan
Boldin.
Kaepernick presents problems no matter
what. Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy
knows there will be new wrinkles.
Obviously, very versatile, McCarthy
said. Excellent, big athlete. Were prepar-
ing for their whole offense. Denitely the
quarterback is always a focus. I look back at
Week 1s game from a defensive perspec-
tive, our run defense played well. The big
plays were something that factored into that
game.
Big hits, too.
Typically one to say as little as possible,
Kaepernick offered a parting shot for
Packers linebacker Clay Matthews after-
ward.
Kaepernick took a late, out-of-bounds hit
from Matthews out for Sundays game
in the second quarter.
If intimidation is your game plan, I hope
you have a better one, the tattooed play-
caller said at the time.
The 26-year-old Kaepernick went on to
lead his team back to the playoffs, this sea-
son as the wild-card team after missing a
third straight NFC West crown with a sec-
ond-place finish to the rival Seattle
Seahawks.
The explosive Kaepernick threw for
3,197 yards and 21 touchdowns with eight
interceptions while also rushing for 524
yards and four TDs.
Before each game, linebacker Patrick
Willis pulls Kaepernick aside with the same
message: Go out and do your thing. Weve
got you on defense.
The support from the other side of the ball
means a lot.
Kaepernick has come a long way in a
years time.
Just more comfortable with the situa-
tion, with the scenario, he said. I think
last year everything just happened fast, this
year I have the experience of being in the
playoffs. I have the experience of being in
the offense.
While Kaepernick only makes it back to
his native Wisconsin every year or two, he
cherishes that time as a boy before he
moved to Turlock, Calif.
Kaepernick might have scripted it quite
like this. Same venue perhaps, warmer
weather.
I dont think my dream was to play in
freezing weather, he said, but to be in the
playoffs and have this opportunity, yes, its
part of the dream.
49ERS
and limited the touches for Parque and Deza
over the nal 40 minutes.
We had a couple of (defensive) strategies,
said Carlmont coach Tina Smith. We talked
(at halftime) about the fact a major part of their
offense comes out of those two players.
The rst half saw end-to-end action, with
Carlmont controlling the bulk of the posses-
sion with its size and strength. But there were
plenty of opportunities for the Tigers.
The teams combined 18 rst-half shots, 13
of which were on goal. Carlmont Alyssa Fagel
made ve saves in the half, while Notre
Dames Katie Nibbi nished with six. Olivia
Viera took over in goal for the Tigers in the
second half and made seven saves. Fagel n-
ished the game with eight.
Both Nibbi and Fagel allowed a rst-half
goal, however, with Carlmont striking rst in
the 25th minute. The play was triggered by a
throw-in on the right sideline. Said beat a
defender to the ball and poked a pass into the
middle of the Tigers penalty box.
Nibbi came off her line, while Carlmonts
Simone McCarthy came streaking in, beat a
pair of defenders to the ball and poked it under
a sliding Nibbi for a 1-0 Scots lead.
Notre Dame tied the score 10 minutes later.
Deza was fouled near the top of the Carlmont
penalty box and she lined up to take the free
kick. Since she did not ask the referee for help
with the Carlmont defenders, she was free to
take the kick whenever she pleased. She
noticed a wide-open hole on the left side and
promptly sent a shot into the upper-left corner
of the net to draw the Tigers even at halftime.
In the second half, Carlmont continued its
all-out assault on the Tigers defense. The
Scots size and physical play seem to wear
down the Tigers and it led to three, second-half
goals for the Scots.
The rst half it was evenly matched, said
Notre Dame coach Matt Dodge. [The Scots]
came out to play in the second half. They out-
worked us and outhustled us.
Our girls are more talented than what we
showed [Thursday].
Carlmont needed less than 10 minutes into
the second to seize complete control of the
game. The Scots earned a corner kick and
Carolyn Donohoes cross into the penalty
box found Said, who redirected a shot into the
net for a 2-1 Carlmont lead two minutes into
the second half.
Four minutes later, Said struck again. Off a
throw-in, Payton Smith icked a header into
space. Said split a pair of defenders to gain
control of the ball and then unleashed a cross-
body shot that found the low-right corner of
the net to put Carlmont up 3-1.
McCarthy then capped the victory in the
60th minute and it was a mirror image to Saids
second tally.
This time, it was Said who icked the ball
into space with a header and McCarthy ran on
to gain control before also shooting across
her body and into the right-corner of the net
for the Scots fourth goal of the game.
Smith was not too surprised to see her team
playing well. She has seen a bounce in her
teams step since the Scots earned a scoreless
draw against Sacred Heart Cathedral last week.
Smith believes that carried over to
Thursdays game against another West
Catholic Athletic League squad.
The last two games weve been playing
very well, Smith said. We walked out of that
(SHC) match with a lot more condence. We
had a lot of successful practices this week.

scoring in double gures, as the Colts average

is giving up 86.
Israel Hakim is leading the conference in
scoring at 20.6 points per game, with
Rohndell Goodwin adding 15 and Kenny
Hatch chipping in 11.5.
The Colts struggles are coming on the
glass as they have only three players averag-
ing more than ve rebounds per contest.
CSM, Skyline women
Both these squads near Coast Conference
North play hovering around .500. CSM is at
7-6, while Skyline is 6-8.
Skyline started the season well, going 3-2
in its rst ve games. The Trojans have strug-
gled since, having lost four of their last ve.
They have taken their lumps against pretty
stiff competition, however, so it remains to
be seen if the Trojans are battled tested enough
to see improvement in conference play.
Jayzyl Tauala gives Skyline the ability to at
least compete. Tauala, a guard out of Terra
Nova, was one of the players in the area before
an injury cost her her senior year of high
school. She has appeared in seven games for
Skyline this season and is averaging just
under 10 points per game. Malia Elliott-
Tufono is also right around 10 points.
While the Trojans dont have that one dom-
inant player, they are getting contributions
from most of the team. Seven of the squads 14
players are scoring ve points or more.
CSM, meanwhile, has cooled off following
a hot start. At one point, the Bulldogs had won
four of ve, but have since lost two straight
albeit to Southern California teams.
McKenna Hilton leads the Bulldogs attack
at nearly 12 points a game and leads the con-

Both CSM and Skyline should be in the mix
for an at-large playoff berth. Other than San
Francisco, which at 10-3 is the cream of the
Coast Conference North crop, no team has
fully emerged. Ohlone sits with a record of

Sunday afternoon NFL
TV ratings grow even bigger
NEWYORK The already-big television
audiences for the NFL on Sunday afternoons
grew even bigger this season.
The NFC package on Fox matched its
highest rating in the networks 20 seasons
broadcasting the league, and the AFC pack-
age had its best rating since 1994.
The NFC games on Fox averaged a 12.5
rating, equaling the record set in 1995 and
up 6 percent from last year. The AFC games
on CBS averaged an 11.1 rating, up 4 per-
cent from last season.
Ratings measure the percentage of homes
with televisions tuned into a program.
Sports brief
By Fraizer Moore
NEW YORK As it
returns for its much-awaited
fourth season, Downton
Abbey remains a saga about
elegance, tradition and gentili-
ty and the pressures of pre-
serving them.
On the premiere, airing
Sunday at 9 p.m. EST on PBS,
Lady Mary Crawley has buck-
led under the weight of wid-
owhood six months after her
husband, Matthew, perished in
a car crash. Inconsolable at the
start of the episode, Mary
(played by Michelle Dockery)
dismisses their infant son as a
poor little orphan.
Her father, Lord Robert
Crawley (Hugh Bonneville),
wrestles with business pres-
sures: the death of Matthew
and the absence of a will have
thrown the Downton manor,
already financially fragile,
into further crisis.
Meanwhile, the modern
world of 1922 bears down on
the Downton hidebound. Just
consider the encroachment of
an electric mixer, the newest
threat to the culinary status
quo over which Mrs. Patmore
reigns in the kitchen.
Even so, Mrs. Patmore
remains squat, high-strung yet
unbending under the pressures
of keeping the Downton
nobility well-fed.
In a recent interview, Lesley
Nicol, who plays her, recalls
filming the series original
episode with Mrs. Patmore

Start with celery for a healthy, crunchy salad
By Elizabeth Karmel
I know this will make me sound like some ultra-serious
dieter which Im not! but I love raw celery.
The humble celery stalk shines in so many ways, from a
bloody mary to a snack stuffed with peanut butter or pimen-
to cheese. To me, its the cracker of the vegetable world. Its
what I reach for when I want a snack or a salad that is pure
and simple and uncomplicated. Conveniently, it also hap-
pens to be high in ber and low in calories.
There is an urban legend that it has zero calories mean-
ing that it takes more calories to digest than it contains.
That is not true, but it always makes me feel better when I
am on a diet. And I bet celery sales spike in January, when
everyone is attempting a healthy makeover of their diet.
Sadly, raw celery often is relegated to the crudite platter
that hardly gets touched when there are more crave-worthy
(and fattening) dishes to choose from. But it doesnt have to
be that way! This January, eat your celery in my favorite
have-it-your-way celery salad.
This crunchy salad is seriously satisfying and elevates
celery to gourmet status. The secret is in slicing the celery
paper thin with a mandolin, or the slicing blade of a food
processor. Atart lemon vinaigrette and thin ribbons of real
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese enhance the dish.
The combination of cool crunchy slices of celery and thin
bits of savory cheese is what makes this simple salad so sat-
isfying. It also is a great foundation for add-in, one of the
reasons that I make it all the time. Depending on my mood
or what I nd at the market, I fancy it up with mushrooms,
fennel, apples, pears, beets all thinly sliced and/or
walnuts, even pomegranate seeds. Try any ingredients that
suit your fancy. Just keep the two main ingredients celery
and Parmesan cheese the same.
HAVE-IT-YOUR-WAY CELERY SALAD
A food processor is the fastest way to thinly slice large
Celery high in ber and low in calories.

shouting at everybody and being horri-
ble. As an actor you go, Is she just a plain,
nasty piece of work?
But Nicol says she was set straight by
the series historical adviser, who reminded
her that the character is solely responsi-
ble for the food in that house. If you go to
dinner at Downton, its got to be the best
youve ever had. Sometimes people are
harsh because they need things to be
right.
That was a key ingredient for playing
Mrs. Patmore, but the recipe keeps the
pressure on Nicol to look authentic doing
it, because viewers are looking for mis-
takes they are!
With a lifetime of credits that include the
musical Mamma Mia! and the films East
Is East and its sequel, West Is West,
Nicol must rely on her acting chops to be
convincing as a cook, because (she readily
confesses) she isnt one in real life: While
her husband likes to throw dinner parties,
Im front-of-the-house, she explains
with a laugh. I do the talking and the pour-
ing of the drinks.
Its no secret that Downton Abbey has
dined out on startling success from almost
the first moment it hit the air in Britain in
2010 (three months before its U.S. debut).
It has gained a firm foothold in the cul-
ture, won 10 Emmys and two Golden
Globes, and found a robust audience that
rose to the challenge of calling it
Downton, not Downtown. Last sea-
sons finale drew 8.2 million U.S. viewers,
most of them left shattered by Matthews
demise as they faced the long wait to see
how the Downton elite and underclass
would cope.
In November there was a bit of good
news for rabid fans with the announcement
that, yes, next year there will be a fifth sea-
son. That news freed viewers to fret about
their favorite shows fate beyond 2015:
How many years will Downton carry on?
Just ask Downton executive producer
Gareth Neame. Everybody else has.
We know theres going to be more than
five, he replies patiently, and I know
theres going to be less than 10. I dont
know what happens between now and
then.
Neame is the managing director of
London-based Carnival Films and a
Downton executive producer who, a few
years ago, put the show in motion over
dinner with Julian Fellowes, the Oscar-
winning writer of the 2001 murder mystery
Gosford Park.
Neame was a fan of that ensemble drama,
set at an English country house in the
1930s where a party of wealthy Brits and
their servants convened for a shooting
weekend. He proposed that Fellowes create
a series with the same social stratification,
politesse and melodrama. Its starting point
was rolled back to the eve of World War I.
With Carnival (whose credits include
such series as Jeeves and Wooster,
Traffik and Whitechapel) set to pro-
duce, Neame sold Downton to the British
commercial network ITV.
I wanted to position the show on a very
broad mainstream entertainment channel,
he says. But in the U.S., no commercial
networks were biting (ironically, not even
NBC, whose parent company owns
Carnival Films). Neame found a buyer
instead in public televisions
Masterpiece anthology.
But it goes without saying the series
caught on far beyond that in more
than 200 countries.
Theyre crazy for it in China, marvels
Nicol, who found out firsthand on a visit
there: Ive seen me speaking Mandarin!
The show is everything Id hoped for,
times 100, says Neame. But when success
is multiplied, so, often, is accompanying
pressure. Theres such an insatiable
demand for the show. So much is expected
of it!
Neame works closely on the story lines
with Fellowes, whom he credits as the
sole writer and the creator of the show
while describing his own role as ultimate
custodian of the whole thing.
Julian and I are making the show we
want to make, he says. Its our cup of tea.
We make it for us, and then, hopefully,
people will come along.
But at some point in the not-too-very-
distant future, those people will be forced
to say goodbye. Then Lady Mary, Lord
Robert, Mrs. Patmore and the rest will be
consigned to viewers memories (and
reruns, of course).
There are only seven stories, says
Neame, citing a familiar literary thesis,
and I think the challenge with a long-run-
ning TV show is to retell those seven sto-
ries without anyone noticing. But there
could come a time where well be going,
What do we do now? And I dont want to
get to that place.
I think the show is in very good health
at the moment, he declares. But people
should enjoy it while its there. It wont be
there forever.

amounts of celery, but a mandoline does a
better job of getting the slices as thin as
possible. The trouble is that it is almost
impossible to use the hand guard of the
mandoline when slicing celery. Some
kitchen shops sell safety gloves for slic-
ing, which can help. Another way to make it
easier is to hold several celery stalks
together (nestled into one another) when
slicing.
Start to nish: 15 minutes
Servings: 2
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
8 ribs celery, very thinly sliced crosswise
2-ounce chunk Parmigiano-Reggiano
cheese
Additional salad ingredients, as desired
(fennel, sliced mushrooms, fruit, nuts, etc.)
In a medium bowl, whisk together the
olive oil, lemon juice and mustard. Season
with salt and pepper, then add the sliced cel-
ery. Toss well to coat, then divide the celery
between 2 serving plates.
Use a vegetable peeler to shave some of
the cheese over each serving, then add addi-
tional salad ingredients as desired.
Mushrooms, pluots and fennel make an
excellent combination with this celery
base.

because a lot of their customers were
actually from Burlingame and the sur-

1998. Delfina, a bit more upscale
than Pizzeria Delfina, and has gar-
nered the James Beard Award for
excellence in cuisine.
Meanwhile, with the $16.5 million
Burlingame Avenue Streetscape project
set this year to shut down the street
from cars, and the sidewalk at times,
Craig Stoll does say hes a bit worried
about the parking situation.
There is a parking lot in the back
and we have two spots dedicated to
pickup and to-go orders, he said. We
also have a back patio that seats up to
30. Were still nishing the details on
that. Once the streetscape is done,
well have more front seating.
The Burlingame space is a lot bigger
than the San Francisco locations, he
said. There are about 60 seats in the
downstairs part of the restaurant, 30 in
the back and about 30 on the soon-to-
be opened mezzanine level, he added.
We have a lot more repower here,
Craig Stoll said. Were doing things
slowly and once we get our sea legs
well open up the other sections.
The menu includes a desserts list
with the amarena cherry sundae and
gelato, pizzas such as clam pie,
margherita and 4 formaggi, fresh
spaghetti, orechiette and antipastas
such as saffron arancini and warm mar-
inated olives, along with wine and
beer.
Pizzeria Delnas original restaurant
opened in 2005 in a 600-square-foot
space in the Mission district and the
second Pizzeria Delna in 2008.

services routes. The SamTrans Service
Plan aims to improve efciency, grow
ridership and increase reliability.
SamTrans conducted community out-
reach to identify ways to achieve these
goals, taking more than 1,200 com-
munity comments from public meet-
ings.
The fundamental message we heard
from the community is that more peo-
ple would take the bus if it was reli-
able, frequent and convenient, said
Chuck Harvey, deputy CEO of opera-
tions, engineering and construction,
in a press release. These changes are
the foundation for making SamTrans
more accessible for more people today
and into the future.
One of the key recommendations
was service improvements to the ECR,
El Camino Real, service, which serves
nearly half of SamTrans riders on some
of their trips. Service improvements
implemented last year included com-
bining the 390 and 391 to create a
more frequent route that provided bet-
ter reliability and an easier-to-under-
stand schedule.
Starting Jan. 26, the FLX pilot serv-
ices in San Carlos and Pacica are part
of the new approach. The FLX Pacica
will provide a xed-route service in the
Linda Mar area 7 a.m.-5:40 p.m. on
weekdays. While it will have a xed
schedule, residents will be able to call
to schedule a bus pickup within a half
mile of the existing route.
Additionally, the FLX San Carlos
will pilot a demand-based service oper-
ating 6:45 a.m.-6:40 p.m. on week-
days. During peak hours, the service
will operate on a xed route, but during
midday the general public will be able
to schedule dial-a-ride service. As
long as the rider lives in San Carlos,
he or she can call for a pickup.
Depending on demand, either a bus or
shuttle will pick them up, said
SamTrans spokeswoman Jayme
Ackemann.
Meanwhile, SamTrans is realigning
many routes to improve performance
and add riders. In areas where service is
being adjusted or eliminated, the
agency has identied alternatives for
existing customers to minimize
impacts resulting from the changes,
according to the press release. Routes
being discontinued include the 123,
132, 262 and 359. For more informa-
tion on the changes visit
samtrans.com/schedulesandmaps/Upc

Last years top names were Ethan, a

Christopher, Dylan and Anthony.
The top names for girls and their
counts for 2013 are:
Sophia, 38

Emily, 25
Soa, 25
Emma, 22
Isabella, 19

The top girl names in 2012 were
Olivia, Isabella, Sophia and Emily.
Maya, Amelia, Ella and Samantha also
made showings although they fell off
in the past year.
But while the same names nd soft
spots in the hearts of San Mateo
County parents, a majority opt for
those falling into the other catego-
ry. Of the boys born, 2,498 received a
name other than those in the top 10
and 2,373 girls were also given less
popular names.
The Social Security Administration
has yet to crunch its nationwide popu-
lar names for 2013 but in 2012 Jacob
and Sophia were the top names fol-
lowed by Mason and Emma, Ethan and
Isabella, Noah and Olivia.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 2014
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today will be
busy and demanding. Stay focused on what needs
to be done. Its best to try to compromise in order
to keep the peace.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Dont be deceived by
rumors; someone may be trying to manipulate you. Use
your own judgment and avoid risk-takers. Dont make
any promises without getting all of the facts rst.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Take some time to
be alone. Leave your work for tomorrow. This is a
good day to muse about the past and the future.
Youll feel better prepared to make changes after
youve had a break.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Keep pace with the
go-getters. You are too busy to make time for people
with no direction. Do whats best for you and make
friends with those who inspire you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Its a good day to nd
ways to pick up new skills and knowledge. Youll get
ahead if you continue to solidify your assets. Seek out
stimulation. Dont settle for dull conversation.

have been having health concerns. This is not the
day to let things slide. Follow through with your
goals to give yourself a greater sense of purpose.

tocheck up on someone. Your intervention may not be
welcome, but it will be helpful. Deep conversations will
lead to new ideas that will be useful in the future.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Maintain a skeptical
attitude. Insincerity from your acquaintances is
likely to lead you astray. Youd do better to focus on
your professional life instead of personal concerns
if you wish to make headway.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Its time to take care
of unfinished business. Let go of projects that have
no legs, and instead focus on those with promise.
Your decisions will give you momentum. Allow your
ambition to grow.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) To avoid conflict,
you should maintain an impartial point of view. If
you are critical, you will meet with resistance. Let
others do as they may.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Close listening will be
benecial. Your observations will provide insights that
will change your path. If you put yourself in someone
elses shoes, youll feel fortunate.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Its time to
enjoy friends and thought-provoking entertainment.
Consider a change of residence. Keep your eyes and
ears open to new possibilities.
