Economic development is cre-
ating thousands of new Bay Area
jobs but affordable housing is
not keeping pace, leaving San
Mateo County and its cities
struggling to encourage devel-
opers to either provide below-
market rate units or equivalent
fees.
San Mateo County and a num-
ber of its cities are currently
banding together for a study of
those impact fees which can
serve as both a guide for imple-
mentation and legal rationale for
those in place.
Jurisdictions are turning to
these fees for affordable housing
more and more since the dissolu-
tion of redevelopment agencies
and the disappearance of a few
state bonds. In cities where they
exist, developers must pay if
they dont provide a certain
number or percentage of below-
market rate units in their proj-
ects. The funds are meant to give
the cities means to procure
affordable housing elsewhere
although, with land at a premium
on the Peninsula, that can be its
own challenge.
Cities and counties are advised
to conduct what is known as a
nexus study of these fees to pro-
vide parameters for the amounts
charged, the units requested and
other factors which could be
challenged in court. Some do
while others sidestep the study
and set numbers without that
information, said Janet Stone,
housing policy and development
manager with the county
Department of Housing.

Frustration is mounting with
an unfinished senior housing
building at the corner of
Trousdale and Ogden drives in
Burlingame and the City Council
is even considering a lawsuit
against Sunrise Senior Living,
the company that intends to
build on the site.
The four-story, 79-unit project
at 1818 Trousdale Drive was
originally approved by the
Planning Commission in 2006,
but ran into bumps due to the
2008 economic downturn, the
company said. Potential litiga-
tion was a closed session agenda
item for the City Council Friday
afternoon, but there was no
action reported out of the meet-
ing, City Attorney Kathleen
Kane said in an email.
I dont think theyve
(Sunrise) made much progress,
said Vice Mayor Terry Nagel,
who couldnt comment further on
the potential lawsuit since it was
a closed session item.

With 17,000 square feet of space this year, Carolyn
Hoskins is continuing to run her black history pop-up
museum despite some hesitance.
This year may be her last though if she cant nd a
permanent location for the museum, which will be at
190 Independence St. in Menlo Park until Feb. 28. Her
daughter and son helped her set up the museum and
learning center in two weeks. She rst began display-
ing her collection of history items about 12 years ago
during February, Black History Month.
Im frustrated and tired because I have such big
dreams about seeing the kids excited about history
its not happening, she said. Basically, when you put
it all together, then youre here by yourself, its very
disappointing.

Camel escapes, attacks
man in Southern California
PALMDALE, A camel escaped
from an enclosure in a Southern
California high desert community
Friday, stomped a 72-year-old man
who tried to capture it, and chased
other people before it calmed down
and was corralled.
The camel escaped in the unincor-
porated community of Acton and was
reported chasing cars shortly after
8:30 a.m., Los Angeles County sher-
iffs officials said.
My dad ... tried to catch it and it
must have cornered him or some-
thing, and it took off after him, bit
him on the head and knocked him
down and stomped on him, Skylar
Dossenbach told KCBS-TV. He
crawled under something and the
camel tried to pull him out from under
it.
Her father was hospitalized and
needed stitches for a gash to his
head, she said. His name wasnt
immediately released.
A neighbor came out and saw the
commotion and got the camel away
from him, Dossenbach told KABC-
TV. And the camel actually started
chasing them, and they had to jump
in a car, and the camel was running
around after everybody.
Dossenbach said she finally ended
up capturing the camel.
I just put a halter on him, fed him
a treat and he calmly walked down to
my round pen and I corralled him,
she said.
The camel was seized by animal
control officials because the owner
does not have a permit and because of
the injury, agency spokeswoman
Betsy Webster said.
The owner could be cited for endan-
gering residents, sheriffs officials
said.
Dossenbach said the camel and
other animals, including a buffalo
and an ostrich, previously escaped
from the owners property, which she
described as a zoo. There have been
as many as five escapes this year, she
said.
Dossenbach said she believed no
one lives on the property but a care-
taker comes by daily to feed and water
the animals.
Big, runaway snowball
slams into college dorm
PORTLAND, Ore. Two math
majors at Reed College lost control
of a massive snowball that rolled
into a dorm, knocking in part of a
bedroom wall.
There were no injuries, but college
spokesman Kevin Myers said Friday
it will cost $2,000 to $3,000 to
repair the building.
The incident happened last
Saturday night following a rare trio
of snowstorms in Portland.
Students started building the giant
snowball on a campus quad near the
dorm. Urged by a crowd, the math
majors tried to make the snowball as
big as possible by rolling it down
the sidewalk that goes past the dorm.
And the ball just got away from
them, Myers said.
After escaping their control, the
boulder-sized snowball rolled about
15 yards before slamming into Unit
(hash)7. Three students heard the
smack and discovered the fractured
bedroom wall. The student whose
dorm was damaged has not had to
move.
Nobody weighed the snowball, but
a maintenance worker who sliced it
up for removal estimated it to weigh
800 pounds or more, Myers said.
The students responsible for the
runaway snowball reported the inci-
dent and wont be disciplined. Myers
said they didnt intend to cause dam-
age and feel awful about what hap-
pened. He declined to release their
names and said he didnt know their
class years.
Reed Magazine was first to report
about the snowball.
It was not the talk of campus until
the story came out, Myers said.
The people that were there knew
about it, but now it has kind of taken
us by storm.

S
ir Francis Drake left his name in
California on a bay not far from
San Francisco. He also left a lega-
cy that can be strange to people who come
from a democracy that believe that rules
and laws are made for everyone from every
country. That isnt so I found out while
studying piracy from the 16th to 19th
centuries. Francis Drake was one of those
who obeyed the laws of England and disre-
garded those of other countries. He was a
privateer or corsair given power to dis-
rupt, capture, plunder and generally raise
hell on any other ship other than his own
country. He got this authority from his
government during wartime.
When Spain conquered Mexico and vari-
ous other areas, she acquired vast sums of
silver, gold and commercial goods. This
surplus was then shipped to Spain across
the Atlantic Ocean from Havana. In the
1560s, the Spaniards began a system of
convoys to protect these riches due to the
sacking of Havana by the French. By the
end of the 16th century, Spain was the
richest country in Europe; however the
Hapsburgs used this wealth to fight wars
against the Ottoman Empire and most of
Europe. This eventually bankrupted
Spain.
The Spanish treasure fleet developed due
to the galleons becoming targets for
pirates that preyed on these ships. As
many as 50 ships would sail in these
fleets and be escorted from the Dutch,
English, French and various pirates who
worked for themselves.
Francis Drake was born in England in
1544 and started working on a ship (bar-
que) after his father, a vicar of a church,
apprenticed young Drake to a neighbor
that traded along the coast. At age 23,
Drake made his first voyage to the
Americas with his cousin Sir John
Hawkins. He was caught by the Spanish in
a port but managed to get away with his
friend Hawkins.
After this experience, he vowed
vengeance against the Spanish and began
plotting ways to capture the riches Spain
shipped home. In 1572, he took two
ships and sacked the town on the Isthmus
of Panama that collected the gold and sil-
ver from Peru for shipment to Spain. In
1873, he and others made an attack on a
richly laden mule train and captured 19
tons of silver and gold. They buried much
of the plunder as it was too much to carry
back to the ships. Carrying what treasure
they could, they traveled back to the coast
where ships were to meet them, but the
ships were not there when they arrived.
Burying the loot, he built a raft and sailed
along the coast to the flagship and was
rescued.
With this much success, Drake returned
to England. Elizabeth I, in 1577, sent
Drake on an expedition against the
Spanish on the Pacific Coast of the
Sir Francis Drake Drakes Bay

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Cafe Tsui Wah, the newly opened restau-
rant in San Mateos Marina Plaza at East
Hillsdale Boulevard is tucked behind a beau-
ty spa and hard to spot yet the circular
logo with green and yellow text pique famil-
iarity and comfort for some who are no
stranger to the city of Hong Kong and Asia.
This place is my new go-to restaurant
now that I live here, I was pretty excited
when I found out they were open, said Irene
Young, a 36-year-old attorney in Hong
Kong who recently moved to Millbrae.
The name Tsui Wah came from a restaurant
chain in Hong Kong that started in 1967.
Caf Tsui Wah in San Mateo has no aflia-
tion with the established overseas chain but
its concept follows the same style of eater-
ies known as cha chaan teng.
Found in metropolitan cities throughout
Asia, cha chaan tengs are much like diners
typically open 24 hours a day with menu
offerings aimed at satisfying a diverse
group of patrons. Dishes that are indige-
nous to Asian palettes are noodles, wontons
or dumplings; crispy chow mien; rice plates
and congee, a rice porridge cooked with
meat or vegetables.
For the large population of American,
British and European expatriates living
abroad, the cafes created an adaptation of
western dishes like pork chops over baked
spaghetti; pasta dishes, ham and egg sand-
wiches, chicken wings, fries and omelets
now customary on most cha chaan tengs
menus.
Cha chaan tengs are a place to grab a
quick bite or a social destination for fami-
lies and friends to meet over coffee or share
a meal.
At Caf Tsui Wah, the decor mirrors the
feel of a casual no-nonsense diner with a
comfortable setting and streamline look
with tables and booth benches.
Along the wall are pictures of special
dishes to entice a craving or help a cha
chaan teng rookie visualize an item on the
menu. Prices are reasonable with appetizers
and entrees ranging from $5 to $12.
Things to try:
House Special Congee: Atraditional style
rice porridge soup with variations of meats
or vegetables added. Usually, accompanied
with the Chinese doughnut, long rectangu-
lar shaped dough lightly fried, similar to a
beignet without the powder sugar that can
be dunked in the congee.
Crispy chow mien with choice of chick-
en, pork, seafood or vegetarian toppings:
Egg noodles pan fried with into a nest with
create crispy edges that soften when savory
brown gravy stir fried with meat and vegeta-
bles is served on top.
Wonton Noodle soup: Shrimp and pork
raviolis wrapped in a delicate light skin and
chewy, thin egg noodles in a chicken based
broth.
Sweet Iced Lemon Tea: Fresh brewed tea
served with ice and slices of lemon, sweet
and refreshing.
Caf TW Tsui Wah is located at 2946 S.
Norfolk St. in San Mateo, (650) 341-1899.

Authorities identify man
fatally struck by SF Muni train
SAN FRANCISCO Authorities say a man
who was fatally struck by a light rail train
earlier this weekend was a transient with no
xed address who may have fallen off the
platform.
The San Francisco Medical Examiners
ofce says 55-year-old Michael Mendez was
killed by an outbound Muni train at the
Powell Street station around 2:40 p.m.
Saturday.
Authorities in response shut down four
subway stations to investigate, causing
delays for mass-transit riders heading to
downtown San Francisco for the Chinese
New Year parade.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports
Mendez died at the scene. Police say a pre-
liminary investigation suggests he fell.
Atrain operator who was injured while hit-
ting the brakes on the train was taken to the
hospital for not life-threatening injuries.
San Carlos man
arrested after police standoff
REDWOOD CITY Police arrested a sus-
pect following a standoff at a bar in Redwood
City Saturday, ofcers said.
At about 10:50 a.m. police received a
request for a welfare check on a man who had
locked himself inside Sodinis Bar located at
727 El Camino Real, near Broadway.
Police arrived at the bar and identied the
man as Paul McNerney, 42, of San Carlos.
Ofcers learned that McNerney had locked

tions while ofcers attempted to communi-
cate with McNerney.
Ofcers attempted to reach him by phone,
but were unsuccessful. Shortly before 3 p.m.,
ofcers entered the bar and made contact with
the suspect. Police said McNerney appeared

He was taken into custody and was trans-
ported to a nearby hospital to be cleared by

Gunman wearing curly-haired
wig attempts to rob gas station

New system to boost
shelter access for homeless
SAN FRANCISCO Starting Saturday,
homeless individuals in San Francisco can
reserve a spot at a shelter by calling a city-
run service center at 311, Mayor Ed Lee
announced Friday.
The new system allows any homeless
person to reserve a three-month reservation
at one of the citys homeless shelters by
calling 311 at any time. The 24-hour serv-
ice is designed to enable easier access to
the citys emergency shelter system for
homeless people who often have to wait in
long lines to secure a shelter reservation,
according to the mayors ofce.
We want to make it as easy as possible
for homeless adults to access safe, clean
emergency shelters when they need it, so
that they can seek employment, access
vital services and nd permanent housing,
Lee said in a statement.
The new system was created through the
Shelter Access Workgroup, a process led by
the mayors ofce of Housing Opportunity,
Partnerships and Engagement, or HOPE.
Emergency shelter is vital to our tool-
box to end homelessness, and a 90-day
stay in a shelter can make the difference
between life and death for those on our
streets, said Bevan Dufty, Mayors Office
of HOPE director.
Beginning Feb. 25, long-term reserva-
tions at San Francisco homeless shelters
for single adults will be made through a
waitlist system managed by the 311 service
center.

SACRAMENTO Californias drought is
providing an opportunity to the two
Republicans vying to challenge Gov. Jerry
Browns expected re-election campaign this
fall, highlighting what they say are gov-
ernment failures to prepare the state for a
foreseeable crisis.
The drought emergency Brown declared last
month has added to the pressure on the
Democratic governor to address longstanding
problems with the states water storage and
delivery systems. Brown has proposed a $25
billion plan to build two massive tunnels to
ship water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin
River delta to farms and communities.
The two Republican candidates,
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin
Peaks, and Neel Kashkari, a former U.S.
Treasury ofcial, both say the most press-
ing need is for more water storage, although
it would do little to help ease the current
shortfall.
Lets get going with
the piece of this that
everybody agrees on
the storage. I think we
can get support for that,
Kashkari said.
Although Democrats
and environmentalists
have often resisted build-
ing reservoirs and
expanding the states
storage capacity, instead favoring water
conservation, Kashkari said the politics
have changed, amid the crisis. He said he
believes there is now consensus.
An $11.1 billion water bond is already
slated for the November ballot, but lawmak-
ers believe it is too expensive and too
loaded down with special projects to win
favor with voters. At least four alternative
proposals are circulating, but Brown has
declined to say whether he would support
any of them. He has said he is unsure
whether any package can get voter support.
Donnelly said he would support a water
bond that is strictly
water, nothing else, no
political payoffs. But it
has to address every
region of the state.
Southern California
has to become part of it;
it has to own up to its
own responsibility in
water usage. That means
major conservation, and
it means we need to
invest in desaliniza-
tion, Donnelly said.
Kashkari said he favors
breaking up the bond and
pushing a measure solely
dedicated to storage.
But the bond, a hard-
fought, bipartisan deal
brokered in the
Legislature in 2009,
reects the complexity of sensitive negoti-
ations on water politics. It includes money
to move water, store it, protect sensitive
environmental areas and ensure clean drink-
ing water.
Neither of the Republicans supports the
centerpiece of Browns water proposal, the
$25 billion plan to build two 35-foot long
tunnels, a 10- to 15-year project that is
intended to make it easier to pump water
from the Sacramento River to Central
Valley farms and Southern California cities.
It also includes money for delta habitat
restoration.
Donnelly wants to ask voters to repeal
the contentious high-speed rail project and
divert nearly $9 billion in bonds approved
for it to water projects. While that proposal
is unlikely to win support from Democrats
in the Legislature, Donnelly said he
believes the crisis brings opportunity.
I dont know that itll all be reached in
the Legislature this year, but I am encour-
aged to see for the rst time in a long time,
all of the players coming to the table so
they can at least have the conversation,
Donnelly said. And Im willing to work
with anybody who has a better idea so we
can get this done.

Obama tees off on Oracle founders
private course
RANCHO MIRAGE President Barack
Obama played golf Sunday on a private
California course owned by supporter Larry
Ellison, the billionaire co-founder of the
Oracle software company.
Ellison ranks third on Forbes annual list
of the 400 richest Americans, with an esti-
mated $41 billion fortune.
His 249-acre desert property in Rancho
Mirage came with a 19-hole private golf
course. The extra hole is available for playoffs.
The White House said Obamas foursome
included childhood friends Bobby Titcomb,
Greg Orme and Michael Ramos.
Obama spent the weekend in California
after meeting Friday at a resort with
Jordans king. His wife and daughters are
skiing in Colorado.
The president was returning to the White
House on Monday. On Tuesday, he planned
to discuss the economy during a trip to a
Safeway distribution center in the
Washington suburb of Upper Marlboro,
Md., before heading to Toluca, Mexico, on
Wednesday for meetings with Mexican
President Enrique Pena Nieto and Canadian
Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
On Thursday and Friday, Obama is sched-
uled to meet with Democratic governors in
Washington for the governors associations
annual winter meeting.
California ofcials blow
up explosive-laden home
REDDING Sheriffs deputies in far
Northern California are burning down a
mobile home where more than 60 pounds of
highly volatile explosive material was
found, forcing dozens of residents to evacu-
ate the area.
Shasta County sheriffs ofcials consult-
ed with water and air quality ofcials before
proceeding with the incineration midday
Sunday. Emergency personnel and hazmat
teams were standing by.
Sheriffs Lt. Dave Kent says the mandato-
ry evacuations around the Redding home
began last week and were expanded on
Friday, bringing the total to about 55
homes under evacuation orders.
Kent says the materials in the house are
too unstable for deputies to even walk on
the property without risking a blast. They
were discovered Feb. 6 after authorities
responded to an explosion at the home
that took off a mans hand.
Man gets 18 years
prison for machete attack
CROCKETT A Northern California
man has been sentenced to 18 years in
prison for killing his transient acquain-
tance with a machete.
Contra Costa County prosecutors say
20-year-old George Fite was sentenced
Friday after agreeing to plead guilty to
voluntary manslaughter with the use of a
deadly weapon for the killing of Daniel
Stackenburg in January 2012.
Prosecutors initially charged Fite with
murder, after the 45-year-old man was
found so badly beaten his head was nearly
split in two.

WASHINGTON House
Democrats are determined to cast
an election-year spotlight on
Republican opposition to raising
the minimum wage and overhaul-
ing immigration laws.
To try to accomplish that in the
GOP-controlled House, Democrats
are planning to rely on an infre-
quently used, rarely successful tac-
tic known as a discharge peti-
tion.
It requires the minority party
in this case, Democrats, who are
unable to dictate the House agenda
to persuade some two dozen
Republicans to defy their leader-
ship, join Democrats and force a
vote on setting the federal mini-
mum wage at $10.10 an hour.
House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi of California said
Democrats will push the wage
issue when Congress returns from
its break Feb. 24. Forcing a vote
on a comprehensive overhaul of
immigration laws could occur in a
few months.
Democratic leaders argue that a
majority of Americans favor both
steps, which are priorities for
President Barack Obama, and say
the House GOP is the obstacle.
Republicans say Democrats are
embarking on an approach that
they know has little chance of suc-
cess in an attempt to circumvent
the will of the GOP-led House.
The odds are daunting for
Democrats in what clearly is polit-
ical maneuvering ahead of the
elections this fall.
Some questions and answers on
how it works.

Q: What does a discharge peti-

tion do?
A: It allows the minority or
opposition party to bypass the
House speaker and get a vote.
First, 217 members one more
than half the Houses current mem-
bership of 432 have to sign a
petition. Amotion to consider the
wage issue would then be placed
on the legislative calendar, but it
cant be acted on for at least seven
days. Any lawmaker can then call
it up but only on the second or
fourth Monday of the month. The
motion is debated and if the House
passes it, then lawmakers would
consider and vote on the bill.
Currently there are 232
Republicans, 200 Democrats and
three vacancies in the House. All
200 Democrats would have to sign
the petition, but Democrats would
have a tough time getting 17
Republicans to join them.
Signing a discharge petition
would be a breach of loyalty for
Republicans, certain to draw the
wrath of the caucus, and a rebuke
of Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
Republicans largely oppose any
increase in the minimum wage.
They say its an issue left to the
states and that it could slow hiring
in a struggling economy.
Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland,
the No. 2 House Democrat,
acknowledged that Democrats are
unlikely to sway Republicans. Yet
he also provided a preview of one
of his partys arguments on this
issue.
I dont think were ever con-
dent that were going to get 18
Republicans to sign a discharge
petition, but we apparently have
30 or 40 that are known over
here, Hoyer said at a news confer-
ence this past week at the partys
retreat in Cambridge, Md. Our
expectation is if they want to
make sure that working people
have an incentive to work, they
will pay them to do so a wage that
does not leave them in poverty.

Q: What about immigration? A

number of House Republicans
back a comprehensive approach.
Would they sign a discharge peti-
tion?
A: Highly unlikely.
Republicans still are unwilling to
break ranks with the party and
Boehner, despite the distinctly
different political forces on the
issue.
Immigration overhaul has the
support of an unusual coalition
that includes some traditional
backers of the GOP. They include
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
and business groups, religious
organizations such as the U.S.
Catholic Bishops, evangelicals
and labor unions.
A few Republicans have
expressed support for a compre-
hensive bill similar to the Senate-
passed measure and have pleaded
for the House to act this year. They
worry about the political implica-
tions in their swing districts back
home. Yet it would be a remarkable
step for some of the more moder-
ate lawmakers from California and
Florida to abandon Boehner.
House Dems try to force votes on wage, immigration
By Lolita C. Baldor

WASHINGTON The number of
U.S. soldiers forced out of the Army
because of crimes or misconduct
has soared in the past several years
as the military emerges from a
decade of war that put a greater
focus on battle competence than on
character.
Data obtained by The Associated
Press shows that the number of of-
cers who left the Army due to mis-
conduct more than tripled in the past
three years. The number of enlisted
soldiers forced out for drugs, alco-
hol, crimes and other misconduct
shot up from about 5,600 in 2007,
as the Iraq war peaked, to more than
11,000 last year.
The data reveals stark differences
between the military services and
underscores the strains that long,
repeated deployments to the front
lines have had on the Armys sol-
diers and their leaders.
It also reects the Armys rapid
growth in the middle part of the
decade, and the decisions to relax
standards a bit to bring in and
retain tens of thousands of soldiers
to ll the ranks as the Pentagon
added troops in Iraq and continued
the ght in Afghanistan.
The Army grew to a peak of about
570,000 soldiers during the height
of the wars, and soldiers represent-
ed the bulk of the troops on the bat-
tleelds compared with the other
services.
I wouldnt say lack of character
was tolerated in (war) theater, but
the fact of the last 10 or 12 years of
repeated deployments, of the high
op-tempo we might have lost
focus on this issue, Gen. Ray
Odierno, the Armys top ofcer,
told the AP last week. Sometimes
in the past weve overlooked char-
acter issues because of competence
and commitment.
His comments mirror concerns
aired by Army Gen. Martin
Dempsey, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, several times in
recent months. The ethical lapses,
Dempsey said, can be attributed in
some ways to 10 years at war when
the military failed to properly bal-
ance character and competence.
It is not the war that has caused
this, Dempsey said. It is the
pace, and our failure to understand
that at that pace, we were neglect-
ing the tools that manage us as a
profession over time.
Over the past year, a series of
high prole scandals from sexu-
al assault and damaging leadership
to mistreatment of the enemy and
unauthorized spending has
dogged the military, leading to
broad ethics reviews and new per-
sonnel policies.
Those scandals included the demo-
tion of Army Gen. William Kip
Ward for lavish, unauthorized spend-
ing; sexual misconduct charges
against Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair;
and episodes of gambling and drink-
ing by other general ofcers.
More recently, there have been
cheating allegations against Air
Force nuclear missile launch of-
cers and a massive bribery case in
California that has implicated six
Navy ofcers. Examples of troop
misconduct include Marines urinat-
ing on the corpses of Taliban ght-
ers and soldiers posing with body
parts of Afghan militants.
As a result, Defense Secretary
Chuck Hagel and other leaders say
ethics is a priority about which
they now routinely lecture troops
and ofcers.

DENTAL
IMPLANTS
Dental Implants are
small titanium screws
that function much like
the roots of natural
teeth. They support xed
replacements for one
tooth, several teeth, or
even a full set of teeth.
With Implant-supported
dental restorations, you
can chew with the power
of natural teeth and slow
down the facial aging
process.
NO MORE
DENTURES
Fed up with messy
creams and adhesives
or plastic in your mouth?
Dentures inhibit an active
lifestyle and can greatly
affect self-condence.
They also provide no
support within the jaw,
resulting in deterioration
and shrinkage of the
jaw bone, often causing
pain, discomfort, loss
of chewing ability, and
resulting in signicant
facial aging. Russo Dental
Care can change all that.
NO MORE
BRIDGES
Bridges are a three tooth
solution for a one tooth
problem. Healthy teeth
must be led down just to
support the bridge. Bridges
also take a pounding as
you chew, limiting their
lifespan. Dental Implants
are the modern solution
for missing teeth, and
can eliminate most of the
problems associated with
bridges. Dental implants
are as close to natural
teeth as you can get and
last a lifetime.

JAKARTA, Indonesia U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry is taking his case for
action on climate change to Indonesia,
where he urged governments across Asia and
beyond to step up efforts to combat the phe-
nomenon.
In a speech in Jakarta delivered on
Sunday, Kerry argued that the cost of inac-
tion to environments and economies will
far outweigh the significant expense of
reducing greenhouse gas emissions that
trap solar heat in the atmosphere and con-
tribute to the Earths rising temperatures,
according to U.S. ofcials.
In the address, Kerry said climate change
is real and is pushing the planet toward a
tipping point of no return, threatening not
just the environment, but the global econo-
my and our way of life, a senior State
Department ofcial said.
Kerry says climate change may be the
worlds most fearsome weapon of mass
destruction and urgent action is needed to
combat it. He compares those who deny its
existence or question its causes to people
who insist the Earth is at.
In his speech Sunday to Indonesian stu-
dents, civic leaders and government of-
cials in Jakarta, Kerry laid into climate
change deniers. He says they use shoddy
science to delay measures needed to reduce
emissions of greenhouse gases at the risk of
imperiling the planet.
Kerry says quote We simply dont
have time to let a few loud interest groups
hijack the climate conversation.
He argues the cost of inaction outweighs the
expense of reducing greenhouse gases that
contribute to the Earths rising temperatures.
The speech comes a day after Kerry won
an agreement with China to cooperate more
closely with the U.S. on combatting cli-
mate change. American ofcials hope will
help encourage other nations, including
developing countries like Indonesia and
India, to follow suit.
Just after Kerry departed Beijing on
Saturday, the U.S. and China issued a joint
statement saying they had agreed on steps
to carry out commitments to curb green-
house gases, including reducing vehicle
emissions, improving energy efciency of
buildings and other measures.
China and the United States are the biggest
sources of emissions of carbon dioxide and
other gases that cause the atmosphere to trap
solar heat and alter the climate. Scientists
warn such changes are already leading to
drought, wildres, rising sea levels, melting
polar ice, plant and animal extinctions and
other extreme conditions.
The two governments will contribute
significantly to successful 2015 global
efforts to meet this challenge, the state-
ment said, citing overwhelming scientic
consensus on climate change and its wors-
ening impacts, and the related issue of air
pollution from burning fossil fuels.
Beijing and Washington launched the
U.S.-China Climate Change Working
Group last year. They promised progress in
ve areas reducing vehicle emissions,
advanced electric power grids, capturing and
storing carbon emissions, gathering green-
house gas data and building efciency.
In Indonesia, Kerry blasts climate change deniers
Spanish man enters
comatose state after pot cake
MADRID A university student in
Spains capital went into a comatose state
early Sunday after he ate a birthday cake
baked with marijuana, while nine others
were also hospitalized, ofcials said.
The comatose man wasnt responding to
stimulus when admitted to a Madrid hospi-
tal, but he later recovered, city emergency
services spokesman Javier Chivite said.
The man was still hospitalized.
It wasnt immediately clear if the pot cake
directly led to the mans comatose state, or
if he had ingested other substances or had
underlying medical problems.
An official at Puerta de Hierro de
Majadahonda hospital conrmed the man
went into a comatose state, but declined to
reveal further details, citing privacy issues.
The hospital ofcial spoke on condition of
anonymity because she wasnt authorized to
be identied by name.
Atotal of 11 people were affected by eat-
ing the cake, Chivite said. Ten of them were
hospitalized, the hospital official said.
Chivite said they were treated for irregular
heartbeat.
Jose Dominguez de Posada, dean of
Madrids Alfonso X University, said the stu-
dents were all male and aged between 18 and
22 and the most affected was studying vet-
erinary sciences. Dominguez de Posada said
the university campus houses about 12,000
students.

LONDON The force of
Gravity was strong at the
British Academy Film Awards on
Sunday but it was uninching
drama 12 Years a Slave that took
the top prize.
Steve McQueens visceral, vio-
lent story of a free black man kid-
napped into servitude in the 19th-
century U.S. South was named best
picture. Its star, Chiwetel Ejiofor,
took the male acting trophy.
Ejiofor thanked McQueen, a
visual artist who turned to lm-
making with Hunger and
Shame, for bringing the story to
the screen.
Holding the trophy, the British
actor told McQueen: This is
yours. Im going to keep it
thats the kind of guy I am but
its yours.
McQueen reminded the ceremo-
nys black-tie audience that, in
some parts of the world, slavery is
not a thing of the past.
There are 21 million people in
slavery as we sit here, he said. I
just hope 150 years from now our
ambivalence will not allow anoth-
er lmmaker to make this lm.
The prizes, coming two weeks
before Hollywoods Academy
Awards, are watched as an indica-
tor of likely Oscars success.
It was a good night for lost-in-
space thriller Gravity, which
won six prizes, including best
director for Alfonso Cuaron.
The 3-D special effects extrava-
ganza also took the awards for
sound, music, cinematography
and visual effects. And despite its
mixed parentage made in
Britain by a Mexican director and
starring American actors it was
named best British lm.
Cuaron paid tribute to star
Sandra Bullock, who is alone
onscreen for much of the lm.
Without her performance,
everything would have been non-
sense, he said.
Con-artist caper American
Hustle charmed its way to three
prizes, including original screen-
play and supporting actress for
Jennifer Lawrence. Its spectacular
70s stylings took the hair and
makeup award.
The best-actress prize went to
Cate Blanchett for her turn as a
socialite on the slide in Blue
Jasmine. She dedicated the award
to her friend and fellow actor
Philip Seymour Hoffman, who
died this month, calling him a
monumental presence who is now
sadly an absence.
Phil, buddy, this is for you, you
bastard. I hope youre proud,
Blanchett said.
The supporting actor prize went
to Barkhad Abdi, who made an
explosive screen debut as a Somali
pirate in Captain Phillips.
The 28-year-old called his expe-
rience of going from obscurity in
Minnesota to stardom com-
plete with an Oscar nomination
surreal.
In the past few years, the British
prizes, known as BAFTAs, have
helped underdog lms, including
Slumdog Millionaire, The
Kings Speech and The Artist,
gain Oscars momentum.
The prize for adapted screenplay
went to Philomena, based on the
true story of an Irish womans
decades-long search for the son
she was forced to give up for adop-
tion.
The awards have become an
essential stop for many
Hollywood stars before the
Academy Awards, held this year on
March 2.

SOCHI, Russia Between pho-
tos and insights about their
Olympic experience, some
Olympians are turning over their
social media accounts to spon-
sors, agreeing to quotas of post-
ings on Twitter and Facebook and
letting other people send commer-
cial messages in their name.
The agents for US gure skaters
Ashley Wagner and Gracie Gold
both say sponsors draft some of
their tweets, plugging their
brands.
This is the first Olympics
where I actually have a social
media calendar, where an athlete
has to tweet or mention some-
thing on a given day, Golds
agent, Yuki Saegusa, said in an
interview.
We get a list of tweets or social
media things that need to be post-
ed and then we approve them for
her, said Saegusa, senior vice
president for Olympic clients at
sports management giant IMG.
Although they encourage
Gold to post the pre-packaged
commercial tweets to her 65,000
followers herself, sometimes oth-
ers do it for her.
We want it to be from her point
of view, and from her mouth and
from her ngers. So we try to get
her to do them mostly,
Saegusa said.
Were in a very new age now
where a lot of advertising, or PR,
or promotions, is social media.
Thats becoming a very important
aspect of marketing.
Wagners IMG agent, David
Baden, said athletes sponsorship
deals are now starting to specify
how many tweets, how many
Facebook mentions and even
Instagram photos they must
post.
That is part of the contract
now. That is how important social
media has become, he said. The
last Olympics that was not the
case.
Baden, an IMG vice president
for Olympic clients, worked with
skating bronze medalist Joannie
Rochette at the 2010 Vancouver
Games.
He said they have access to
Wagners account, so they can
post commercial tweets to her
60,000 followers.
Its not like Ashley doesnt
know about these. I mean we send
her all these. She had to approve
all of them, and so its not that she
does not know what is being said.
Shes seen it. Shes part of this
whole process, he said.
Its just that with her schedule,
and if we can make things easier,
whats the difference?
Sponsors make sure schedules of
tweets are adhered to.
Well get a message, usually,
from the sponsor, and just
say(ing) Just reminding you this
week, these tweets, he said. Ill
send it to my assistant. And shell
just say; Yes, I have it already in
queue to do it.
The agents did not specify
which of their athletes tweets in
recent months were drafted and
posted on their behalf.
The veried accounts of both
Gold and Wagner
(at)GraceEGold and
(at)AshWagner2010 have refer-
enced their own and US Olympic
Committee sponsors, in tweets
and re-tweets.
Its not clear which recent post-
ings were paid for, but after the
Feb. 7 opening ceremony Gold
sent out an Instagram photo of
herself holding a lipstick applier.
Couldnt forget the red lips, it
read. As well as CoverGirl, her
Twitter prole lists other spon-
sors: Visa, United Airlines,
Procter & Gamble Family,
Smuckers, Pandora Jewelry and
Airweave.
Baden says to fulll their con-
tracts, simply retweeting a tweet
rst sent by a sponsor isnt suf-
cient.
When on one occasion he used
his own account to send a spon-
sors tweet and then asked Wagner
to retweet it, they called me and
said, No, no. No retweets. It has
to come from her.

T
his year is starting out to be a
very busy one for the City
Council and staff as well. City
Council meetings in Foster City are
regularly scheduled for the rst and
third Mondays of each month, with
an occasional spe-
cial meeting occur-
ring on either the
second, fourth or
fth (if a month
has a fth one)
Monday. Those
special meetings
have usually been
dedicated to budget
sessions or to
some specic issue or study session.
We have already had four council
meetings in January, four are sched-
uled in February, four in March, and
already there are three scheduled in
April.
On Jan. 13, the City Council and
staff had their annual retreat, where
the entire day is spent brainstorm-
ing and identifying issues that
should be addressed in the coming
year. From that session, the policy
calendar is developed, which serves
as the road map for City Council
expectations and staff direction.
One of the many items that made
its way to the policy calendar is a
comprehensive review of the Foster
City Municipal Code. When Foster
City was formed in 1975, ordinances
to govern the city were established.
As time has passed, modications
and updates have occurred on an as-
needed basis. It is almost 40 years
later and the council felt that a proac-
tive review of all the ordinances is in
order to ensure that they are up to
date, particularly with the topograph-
ical changes in the city, our soon to
be built-out environment and
advances in technology. It is expect-
ed that a municipal code review will
take several years depending upon
the amount of resources that are
available to do the work.
Foster City is and has been
arguably one of the best-run cities in
the region, if not the state. This is
no accident; this is due to the proac-
tive approach that the city operates
under and how it has been governed
for many years. Prior city councils
have included a five-year look ahead
into the budget process and this has
served the city well. Other cities are
just beginning to incorporate this
look ahead into their budgetary
processes. Maintaining and keeping
our ordinances current and modern-
ized is just as important to the citi-
zens of the city.
In the coming council meetings, we
will be addressing potential amend-
ments to the smoking ordinance and
the ordinances that address fences,
hedges and walls. As a result of the
recession that some feel we are work-
ing our way through, we have initiat-
ed an effort to develop a sustainable
economic development strategic
plan. It is hoped our local economy
will fare even better when the next
eventual economic downtown occurs.
I have every reason to believe that
there will be more special meetings
of the City Council during the year to
address other needs as they come up.
Water (or the lack of) is quickly
becoming a major concern for all of
us in the region. The governor has
declared a statewide drought emer-
gency. The consequences range from
water rationing, expectation of more
wildres and potential devastation to
one of our biggest economic sectors:
the farmers and related crops from the
Central Valley. We could be faced with
some of our re personnel and equip-
ment being assigned to res or pay-
ing more for produce at the grocery
store. And, of course, there is the
state budget that right now sees a
projected surplus, but how long that
lasts remains to be seen.
Some good news is that the econ-
omy continues to show signs of
improvement, although moderate.
The feeling in Sacramento is cau-
tiously optimistic and the word
recession has not exited many
vocabularies of the serious eco-
nomic observers.
As for some of the special ses-
sions, you might want to attend one
or more of them to further participate
in the decision-making process as it
affects our community.

STEM crises
By Robert Baker
S
TEM stands for science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics. There has been a great deal of
coverage recently on the poor performance of our
students in math and science; the STEM Crisis.
Scientists, technicians, engineers, and mathematicians
have IQs in the range of 94-103 (technicians) and 114
(life sciences) to 133 (physics and astronomy).
This places scientists, engineers and mathematicians
approximately in the range of 18 percent to 1 percent of
the IQ distribution. So,
only about 17 percent of
students have the ability to
succeed as scientists, engi-
neers or mathematicians.
Technicians IQ range from
94-103, so a career as a
technician is open to many
more people.
Math skills are obvious-
ly critical to anyone con-
templating a career in
mathematics. Mathematics
is the language of physics.
Any high school student
who aspires to a career in
math or physics should be
excellent in math. And there are other careers (economics,
engineering, operations research and actuarial science
where math skills are important) but somewhat less so
then math or physics. In 2012, STEM employed just 6
percent of the total workforce. So, about 11 percent of the
workforce could have a career in STEM but choose not to.
The careers of economics, humanities and art, banking
and nance, religion and theory, history, library and
archival sciences, architecture, social science, agricul-
ture, sociology and business, orthodontist, podiatrist,
attorney, pharmacist, commercial airline pilot, nancial
planner, optometrist, economist, school principal,
physician assistant and veterinarian also pull from this
same 17 percent of students.
If you look at the most popular non-STEM majors among
the nine UC campuses, they are agricultural business and
management, anatomy, art lm/video, business, communi-
cations studies, criminology, economics, English, envi-
ronmental design, global studies, history, human relations,
interdisciplinary studies, international relations, legal
studies, liberal arts and sciences, management science,
political science, psychology and sociology.
And the skills required are for these majors are soft
skills, e.g., analytical, communication, creative, critical
thinking, global knowledge, interpersonal relations,
language, leadership, project /program management,
motivating people, organization, partnerships, problem-
solving, public presentation, relationships, research,
spoken communication, teamwork, time management,
writing and reading.
It is true that people in non-STEM careers earn about 26
percent less than those in STEM; $65,285 and $90,508
respectively. While this might not have much effect on
the car you drive, it does make a considerable difference
in where you can live and how much house you can afford.
These salaries will buy a house of $561,000 and
$920,000 in Danville and Orinda respectively. Orinda is
certainly a lovely community, but there is nothing wrong
with Danville.
Before we completely revamp our school system to
produce an army of scientists, engineers and mathemati-
cians, we should consider what our world would be like
without humanities and art, banking and nance, law and
medicine.
To quote former Secretary of Health, Education and
Welfare John W. Gardner, The society which scorns
excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates
shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activi-
ty will have neither good plumbing nor good philoso-
phy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
Although I studied math through differential equations,
I had successful careers in IT and marketing without using
any more than basic algebra. If a student is interested in
science but not particularly good at math, consider a
career in botany, ethnobiology, medicine, parasitology,
pathology, physiology, psychobiology, virology, ethol-
ogy, entomology, ichthyology, mammalogy or prima-
tology where average math skills are ne.
Lastly, one of my wise tennis playing buddies made the
statement Find something you truly love doing, that
way you will never feel like you are going to work.

Keystone XL mess
Editor,
Ill support the many letters criti-
cizing the effort to make the
Keystone XL pipeline a reality. Id
like to touch on the lthy nature of
extraction involved in this corporate
bonanza requiring enormous amounts
of oil to heat the oil baring tar sands
in order to release other oil.
This makes it the dirtiest method of
extraction in the world. Fracking is
another very dubious practice that
uses enormous amounts of precious
water and questionable chemicals
which brings with it yet more dan-
gers. Better to embark on a Marshal
Plan of putting solar on the roof of
every home and on the siding of
every high rise so as to kick the car-
bon habit entirely.

Millbrae wants more tax levied
Editor,
Millbrae wants more money from
its residents (Millbrae to vote on
new tax: Fire assessment extension
would last 10 years, raise $1.5 mil-
lion annually in the Feb. 13 edition
of the Daily Journal).
Why? Almost all of the taxation is
slice of revenue and income levied on
workers and companies income.
That slice is typically a percentage,
and that means they already have a
free ride on the backs of all of us. So
again, why? They need to start living
within their means. This is a good
time to do that. As per the pundits and
the Democrats in control of this
state, the economy is accelerating,
revenue is just plentiful and hence the
tax coffers will get lled plenty
quick.

Rock n roll lives on
Editor,
In response to Mr. Fotis letter
(The true end of rock n roll music
in the Feb. 7 edition of the Daily
Journal) regarding the socio-religious
regressions caused by rock n roll
music, Mr. Foti completely denies
any artisitc value in music. Not only
does he devalue rock music as art, he
also claims that jazz is equally to
blame for the regression from whole-
some Christian values and the promo-
tion of sexual immorality.
Does Mr. Foti remember the social
movements of the 1960s that
expressed the themes of radical and
gender equality? Does he remember
the demand for political change that
was told through the lyrics of folk and
rock bands? Clearly Mr. Foti was not
paying attention when such dramatic
positive social change was effected
through the music of the era. If Mr.
Foti would like to live in a place
where contemporary music is regulat-
ed only to represent solid religious
values, I am sure Saudi Arabia would
be glad to offer him accommodation.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. The
failure of the United Auto Workers
to unionize employees at the
Volkswagen plant in Tennessee
underscores a cultural disconnect
between a labor-friendly German
company and anti-union senti-
ment in the South.
The multiyear effort to organize
Volkswagens only U.S. plant was
defeated on a 712-626 vote Friday
night amid heavy campaigning on
both sides.
Workers voting against the
union said while they remain open
to the creation of a German-style
works council at the plant, they
were unwilling to risk the future of
the Volkswagen factory that
opened to great fanfare on the site
of a former Army ammunition
plant in 2011.
Come on, this is Chattanooga,
Tennessee, said worker Mike
Jarvis, who was among the group
in the plant that organized to ght
the UAW. Its the greatest thing
thats ever happened to us.
Jarvis, who hangs doors, trunk
lids and hoods on cars said work-
ers also were worried about the
unions historical impact on
Detroit automakers and the many
plants that have been closed in the
North, he said.
Look at every company thats
went bankrupt or shut down or had
an issue, he said. What is the
one common denominator with all
those companies? UAW. We dont
need it.
Pocketbook issues were also on
opponents minds, Jarvis said.
Workers were suspicious that
Volkswagen and the union might
have already reached cost con-
tainment agreements that could
have led to a cut in their hourly
pay rate to that made by entry-
level employees with the Detroit
Three automakers, he said.
The concern, he said, was that
the UAW was going to take the
salaries in a backward motion, not
in a forward motion, said Jarvis,
who makes around $20 per hour as
he approaches his three-year
anniversary at the plant.
Southern Republicans were hor-
rified when Volkswagen
announced it was engaging in
talks with the UAW last year.
Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Corker,
who has been among the UAWs
most vocal critics, said at the time
that Volkswagen would become a
laughingstock in the business
world if it welcomed the union to
its plant.
Volkswagen wants to create
works council at the plant, which
represents both blue collar and
salaried workers. But to do so
under U.S. law requires the estab-
lishment of an independent union.
Several workers who cast votes
against the union said they still
support the idea of a works council
they just dont want to have to
work through the UAW.
Volkswagens German manage-
ment is accustomed to unions and
works councils, which have been
ingrained in its operations since
the end of World War II. And labor
interests that make up half of the
companys supervisory board
have raised concerns that the
Chattanooga plant is alone
among the automakers major fac-
tories worldwide without formal
worker representation.
But in Tennessee theres little
recent history of prominent manu-
facturing unions, and people are
suspicious of them.
This is an area of the country
where union density is low, said
Harley Shaiken, a professor at the
University of California at
Berkeley who specializes in labor
issues.
Still, because of the close mar-
gin, Shaiken believes the union
would have won without state-
ments from Corker and other
Republican politicians that
played to anti-union sentiment
and cast doubt on the plants future
with union representation. Those
statements, he said, influenced
spouses, relatives and neighbors
of as well as workers at the plant.
Youve got wives, husbands,
family members. They hear these
threats and they say, What are
you doing here? This is a risk,
Shaiken said.
UAWopponent Sean Moss, who
works in the plants assembly shop
as a quality inspector, said he began
hearing more from colleagues with
concerns about the union in the last
days before the vote.
Im sure they probably had
influence at home, from other
members of the family that work,
other people that have been
through unions who did not have a
good experience, he said.
He said the UAWs negative rep-
utation resonated with workers at
the plant.
I think their history was prob-
ably the biggest part, he said.
People sat back and looked at
what theyve done with regard to
the last 30 years.
The thought was were doing
ne without the unions here, so
why start now? he said.
As for the UAWs next step, lead-
ers said theyre still evaluating
their next steps. Bob King, the
union president, wasnt prepared to
say after the vote whether the
union would try to take legal action
due to what he called unprecedented
outside interference.
UAW drive falls short amid culture clash in Tenn.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK The account
information given by a new cus-
tomer at Liberty Reserve read like
a not-so-clever prank: Joe Bogus,
123 Fake Main Street,
Completely Made Up City, N.Y.
But at the multibillion-dollar
virtual banking operation, it did-
nt matter. Mr. Bogus in reality,
an undercover federal agent was
free to begin transferring funds,
no questions asked.
Authorities say the recent inves-
tigations of Liberty Reserve and
the hidden website Silk Road, a
vast black-market bazaar for nar-
cotics and other contraband,
demonstrate how the anonymity
inherent in the use of virtual cur-
rency is attracting a legion of
esh-and-blood criminals.
The perpetrators feel they can
more easily conceal their activity,
their identities and their pro-
ceeds, Deputy U.S. Attorney
Richard Zabel said at a hearing last
month held by the New York State
Department for Financial
Services.
Hard cash carries the burden of
needing to be physically smug-
gled and hand-delivered, Zabel
said. By contrast, in the Silk Road
case, users were able to purchase
drugs from drug dealers located
anywhere in the world, essentially
with a push of a button, he said.
At the same hearing, Manhattan
District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.
urged state regulators to put
tighter controls on digital curren-
cy exchanges to tame a digital
Wild West.
New Yorks chief nancial regu-
lator, Benjamin Lawsky, said in a
speech last week that hes consid-
ering new rules requiring busi-
nesses to obtain a Bitlicense if
they use the new currencies and
comply with know-your-customer
guidelines to prevent money laun-
dering activities.
The dialogue comes at a time
when Bitcoins and other virtual
currencies have been gaining the
backing of legitimate investors
and mainstream businesses. Last
month, Overstock.com became
the rst major retailer to accept
digital money. An online orist,
Bloomnation, also began accept-
ing Bitcoins in time for
Valentines Day.
Users exchange cash for digital
money using online exchanges,
then store it in a wallet program in
their computer. The program can
transfer payments directly to a
merchant who accepts the curren-
cy or to private parties anywhere
in the world, eliminating transac-
tion fees and the need to provide
bank or credit card information.
Some Bitcoin advocates say
they welcome limited regulation
but claim the negative publicity
brought by criminal prosecutions
is misleading. In the past year,
there are signs that the virtual cur-
rency phenomenon has moved
beyond the early days when it was
an oddity embraced by a small
cadre of libertarians and computer
geeks and later by criminals dur-
ing its vice phase, said Fred
Wilson, a partner in a Manhattan
venture capital rm.
The vice phase is in the
rearview mirror, Wilson said.
Are people still doing bad things
with Bitcoin? Sure. Is the majority
of the Bitcoin activity vice? Not a
chance.
The Liberty Reserve case had no
shortage of vice. Prosecutors esti-
mated that over roughly seven
years, the Costa Rica-based opera-
tion processed 55 million illicit
transactions worldwide for 1 mil-
lion users and laundered $6 billion
in proceeds for credit card thieves,
child pornographers, drug trafck-
ers and other criminals.
People banking with Liberty
Reserve couldnt transfer money
into their accounts or withdraw it
directly a system that would
normally leave a paper trail.
Instead, to add another layer of
anonymity, it required customers
to wire money to and from third-
party money exchangers in loca-
tions in Malaysia, Russia and
Vietnam with little or no money-
laundering oversight.
Once an account was funded, a
customer could make deals for
stolen credit card numbers, drugs
and other illicit services with
other Liberty Reserve account
holders using a virtual currency
called LR. Liberty Reserve would
charge a 1 percent transaction fee,
plus an optional privacy fee that
allowed users to hide their account
number.
Liberty Reserve provided its
users with nearly impenetrable
anonymity and enabled them to
conduct untraceable financial
transactions, Zabel said.
In the Silk Road case, investiga-
tors found that the website pro-
tected users with an encryption
technique called onion routing,
designed to make it practically
impossible to physically locate
the computers hosting or access-
ing websites on the network,
court papers said.
Among those arrested in the
case was a defendant using the
name BTCKing, who operated a
service that allowed customers to
obtain Bitcoins by depositing
cash into a bank account con-
trolled by a third party. The only
identifying information provided
was an email address.
The Silk Road case has turned
the U.S. attorneys office in
Manhattan into a large holder of
Bitcoins 29,655 found on a
server. The government also is
seeking forfeiture on an additional
144,336 seized from computer
hardware belonging to the alleged
mastermind, Ross William
Ulbricht.

East overcomes Durant, West
By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS The Eastern
Conference nally stopped Kevin
Durant and Blake Grifn then
stopped its losing streak at the
NBAAll-Star game.
Kyrie Irving had 31 points and
14 assists and was voted the
games MVP, Carmelo Anthony
made an All-Star record eight 3-
pointers and scored 30 points, and
the East rallied for a 163-155 vic-
tory over the West on Sunday
night.
Its a great honor, Irving said.
We had a few MVPs. Everyone out
here today is an MVP.
Durant and Grifn each nished
with 38 points, four shy of Wi l t
Chamberlains All-Star game
record. But the East scored the
nal 10 points to pull out a game
it trailed by 18.
Irving scored 15 points in the
fourth quarter as the East ended a
three-game losing streak. LeBron
James had 22 points, seven
rebounds and seven assists.
The superstars of our league
were just telling us to compete on
every play, Irving said. Trying
to play as much defense as possi-
ble. You know, sticking to our
game plan. We had a game plan
going in and we executed.
Griffin shot 19 of 23, while
Durant nished with 10 rebounds
and six assists.
But the West was shut out after
Durants 3-pointer gave it a 155-
153 lead with 1:59 left. Indianas
Paul George made three free
throws, Anthony nailed his nal

STANFORD Arizona coach
Niya Butts has had no choice but to
turn to a lot of talking and teach-
ing through lm study. There is no
scrimmaging 5 on 5 when you
only have six players.
The short-handed Wildcats
couldnt sustain a fast-paced start,
given their limitations to substi-
tute, and lost 74-48 at No. 6
Stanford on Sunday.
Bonnie Samuelson knocked
down ve 3-pointers on the way to
17 points, all scored in the rst
half, as the Cardinal moved closer
to a 14th straight conference regu-
lar-season crown.
Obviously a tough game for us
to play, Butts said. Stanford, a
credit to them for taking care of
business and knocking down
shots. We were actually playing a
little bit too fast, though were
better in that element, we just did-
nt have enough bodies to contin-
ue that. Initially that was working
for us, getting out to shooters,
running them off the 3-point
line.
LaBrittney Jones scored 11
points for Arizona (5-20, 1-13),
which went cold in the rst half
and couldnt recover against the
dominant play of Stanford on both
ends of the oor. Jones was the
only player to reach double gures
in Stanfords games against
Arizona and No. 15 Arizona State,
which lost 61-35 at Maples
Pavilion on Friday night.
Chiney Ogwumike scored 11 of
her 15 points during a decisive run
late in the rst half that put the
game away for the Cardinal (24-2,
12-2 Pac-12), who clinched a bye
into the quarterfinals of next
months conference tournament in
Seattle. They earned their 24th
consecutive victory against the
short-handed Wildcats.

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)

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Tim Hudson
stretched a bit, pawed at the dirt with his
foot, and took a few warm-up tosses. He was
ready to go.
The newest member of the San Francisco
Giants rotation had thrown three bullpen
sessions since he sustained a severe injury
to his right ankle last season while with the
Atlanta Braves, but none were as signicant
as this.
This was his rst of-
cial turn on the bullpen
mound, and the audience
was of greater impor-
tance, notably Giants
manager Bruce Bochy and
trainer Dave Groeschner.
Hudson was the third
pitcher to work on this
particular mound on
Sunday, following fellow
right-handers Ryan Vogelsong and Tim
Lincecum. Buster Posey caught the three
pitchers, who all worked out of the stretch.
The 38-year-old Hudson threw about 30
pitches and appeared to have no difculties.
He said he felt good.
I feel like Im the same as far as throwing
goes. Its all a process, he said. I didnt
think about the ankle. The only time I real-
ly notice it on occasion during the side to
side (movements during conditioning).
Hudson usually works the lower part of the
strike zone, and some pitches were a bit
lower than he liked.
You dont want to be making your best
pitches right away, Hudson said.
Working with Posey was enjoyable, and
he expects things to be even better as the
spring rolls along.
Buster, hes a pro, one of the best on
offense and defense, Hudson said. We were
working out in the weight room the other
day, talking about pitching philosophy. He
was asking how I do things, how I tick, and
I was asking how he calls a game.
Posey said Hudson looked good, and he
is looking forward to working together.
He had a smooth, easy delivery, the same
Ive seen over the years, Bochy said. I
dont see him changing anything.
Bochy added that he expects Hudson to
continue to make progress toward his rst
Cactus League start.
If we have to delay it, we will, Bochy
said. We will do what we can to help him
avoid having a setback.
NOTES: Lincecum also looked strong,
popping Poseys mitt with regularity. I
went by how I felt today, and I felt good out
there, said Lincecum, who signed a two-
year, $35 million contract during the offsea-
son. He threw on a regular basis over the
winter back home in Seattle. He rented out
space in a warehouse, rented a portable
mound, and used a few friends as catchers.
Bochy said Lincecum was eager to get
going, like a horse out of the barn. ...
Bochy didnt use long relievers much early
in his managerial career, but over time has
realized their importance. He will have a
long man this season, and it doesnt matter
if it is a righty or lefty. Its who ts in best,
who competes, he said. ... The bullpen ses-
sion of rookie non-roster invitee Derek Law
also caught Bochys eye. Law pitched in the
Arizona Fall League in 2013.

Now that the NFL knows the scope of the
racially charged Miami Dolphins bullying
scandal, the league has been left to grapple
with what its next steps should be.
Areport released Friday on the Miami case
concluded with a one-paragraph call to
action:
As all must surely recognize, the NFL i s
not an ordinary workplace. Professional
football is a rough, contact sport played by
men of exceptional size, speed, strength
and athleticism. But even the largest,
strongest and eetest person may be driven
to despair by bullying, taunting and con-
stant insults. We encourage the creation of
new workplace conduct rules and guidelines
that will help ensure that players respect
each other as professionals and people.
League executives agree steps need to be
taken, and have vowed to take action. But it
may be difcult to regulate locker room
behavior by determining when something a
player considers to be harmless locker room
nonsense crosses the line. Players are part
of a team, but they are also individuals with
different levels of sensitivity.
And as the reports call to action points
out, the NFLis not an ordinary workplace
and locker rooms are sanctuaries within
those workplaces where even without the
kinds of vicious taunts and racist insults
cited in the report, behavior that would not
be accepted in society is tolerated, and even
condoned or encouraged.
Still, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross
wants his organization to lead the way to
change the culture.
I have made it clear to everyone within
our organization that this situation must
never happen again, Ross said in a state-
ment released through the team after the
report was released. We are committed to
address this issue forcefully and to take a
leadership role in establishing a standard
that will be a benchmark in all of sports.
Many questions facing

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Menlo mens basketball team
(9-17, 6-6) concluded its 2013-14 reg-
ular season on a winning streak after
going on the road to down UC Merced
(2-27, 0-12) 70-54 in Cal Pac play on
Saturday evening. The win completes
the regular season sweep of the
Bobcats as Menlo defeated them 92-71
at home on Jan. 23.
Menlo big man Keith Bowman
played his nal regular season game in
navy and white and nished on a high-
note, scoring 12 points and pulling
down 17 rebounds for his 11t h double-
double of the campaign. He was one of
four scorers to eclipse the double-digit
mark as the Oaks shot 38 percent from
the eld and 54 percent from deep.
John Smith nished with 13 points
and three rebounds and was solid on
the defensive end with a game-high
four steals. Charles Barnes, who
knocked down six 3s on Thursday,
drained two more on Saturday and n-
ished the night with 10 points and ve
rebounds. Mandip Rai was a perfect 2-
for-2 from three point range and n-
ished with 10 points, an assist and a
steal. All four double-digits scorers
were seniors playing their nal regular
season home game at Menlo.
Senior guard Carlos Monroy notched
eight points to go along with ve
assists, a block and a steal.
The Menlo defense again shut down
the opposition in the second stanza
following up Thursdays 16-point sec-
ond half defensive effort by holding
the Bobcats to just 22 points in
Saturdays second half. That led the
way for a +13 point scoring differen-
tial and the eventual 70-54 win.
Menlo will enter the March 1 Cal Pac
tournament as the No. 4 seed and looks
to follow-up last seasons dramatic run
to the championship game with more
excitement in 2014.
Lady Oaks end
regular season with a win
The Lady Oaks (23-5, 12-0) conclud-
ed 2013-14 regular season play with a
decisive 78-51 win over conference
foe UC Merced (4-19, 2-9) on Saturday
evening to nish with 20+ wins for
the second consecutive season.
Saturdays win also marks that second
time in as many season the Lady Oaks
have finished with an unblemished
conference record. Theyre now 30-2
in regular season conference games in
the last three seasons.
Looking for a strong bounce-back
performance after having their 12-
game winning streak snapped at home
by UC Santa Cruz on Thursday
evening, the Lady Oaks dominated all
facets of the game against the
Bobcats. Shooting nearly 40 percent
from the field and forcing 15 UC
Merced turnovers and 31 percent
shooting from the eld led the way in
the win.
Eleven different scorers got in on the
action Saturday led by Laurel
Donnenwirths game-high 17 points
and a 12-point effort from Jolise
Limcaco. Donnenwirth was back to her
dominate ways, ripping down a game-
best 15 rebounds to go with her 17
points for her 13th double-double of
the year. Limcaco dished out six
assists and blocked a pair of shots in
the win.
Vanessa DAmico knocked down 3-
of-4 shots from beyond the arc to n-
ish with nine points as did both
Aaliyah Sowards and Fia Hoskinson.
Sowards added six assists and four
rebounds and Hoskinson pulled down
six boards.
The Lady Oaks shot 32 percent in the
rst half but held the bobcats to just 19
points on 28 percent shooting. The
second half was a different story as
they turned it on offensively and shot
a blistering 50 percent to stretch its
lead to the eventual nal of 78-51.

Obama applauds Missouri
gay player for coming out
RANCHO MIRAGE President Barack Obama is
praising University of Missouri football player Michael
Sam for announcing he is gay before the NFL draft.
Obama says Sams attitude is that he knows he can play
great football and that he should be judged only on those
facts.
Sam could become the NFLs rst openly gay player.
The defensive end is scheduled to participate in the
leagues scouting camp in Indianapolis later this month.
Hes projected to be a mid-round draft pick in May.
First lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe
Biden sent Sam messages of encouragement over Twitter
last week after his announcement. Aspokesman had said
Obama shared their sentiments.
Obama commented in a taped interview with Charles
Barkley that aired during TNTs pregame coverage of
Sundays NBAAll-Star game.
Kirk Triplett wins ACE Group Classic
NAPLES, Fla. (AP) Kirk Triplett won the ACE Group
Classic on Sunday for his third Champions Tour title,
holing a 6-foot par putt on the nal hole for a one-stroke
victory.
make it 161-155. George closed it out with
two more free throws and nished with 18
points.
The game that usually doesnt get tight
until the nal minutes was close throughout
the fourth quarter, neither team leading by
more than four until the nal minute.
Chris Paul had 11 points and 13 assists,
and rst-time All-Star Stephen Curry had 12
points and 11 assists for the West. But the
best point guard on the oor was Irving,
who shot 14 of 17 and helped the East ring
up 87 points in the second half after it sur-
rendered a record 89 in the rst.
In a colorful tribute to New Orleans, play-
ers wore sneakers and socks that ranged
from green and blue to orange and purple,
making the game look like a Mardi Gras
parade.
The parade was one of layups and dunks
for the West, which scored 44 points in the
rst quarter and 45 in the second. Grifn had
18 points in the rst quarter and Durant had
22 at halftime, both two shy of records set
by Glen Rice in 1997.
And there was plenty of music, the rosters
and starting lineups introduced around a
concert by Pharrell Williams, who was
joined by his own All-Stars in Nelly, Busta
Rhymes, Sean Diddy Combs and Snoop
Dogg.
Magic Johnson led a band, too, encourag-
ing the All-Stars to join him in singing
Happy Birthday after the rst quarter to
Hall of Famer Bill Russell, the NBAs great-
est champion who was celebrating his 80th.
The All-Stars played better than they
sang.
The East nished with 61 percent shoot-
ing, needing all sorts of offense after it sim-
ply couldnt defend Durant and Grifn.
Durant made 6 3-pointers and easily blew
past the 28.8 points he had been averaging
in All-Star games, which was an NBArecord.
Outside of the ugly sleeved jerseys, it was
a good look for the NBAs midseason show-
case, bouncing back strongly from an even
All-Star Saturday night.

More just piece of mind for him to get
that out of the way, As manager Bob
Melvin said. You dont want to start camp
with that weighing on your mind. It was
going to get done, just glad it got done
where both sides are happy with it and now
he can just move on and start playing base-
ball.
Melvin said Reddick looks a little
stronger this season after putting on some
additional pounds from weightlifting.
Reddick regrets not taking care of his
wrist earlier, when it rst started to hurt. He
said he should have gone on the disabled
list right after the injury instead of resting
it and then continuing to play.
Im not going to try to set any expecta-
tions, Im just going to try and put last year
behind me, he said. Try to get back to

thing. If they catch and shoot and get those
kind of shots, theyre hardly going to miss
those shots, Butts said.
Amber Orrange dished out nine assists to
go with nine points and ve rebounds in 24
minutes, and Stanford coach Tara
VanDerveer was able to rest her regulars for
another long stretch given the lopsided
result.
Ogwumike shot 7 for 12 and grabbed nine
rebounds in 22 minutes, getting a nice
break for the second straight game. For
only the second game all season, she didnt
lead the team in scoring.
Stanford found its shooting touch again
against Arizona and held a 42-28 rebound-
ing edge in the teams second meeting of the
season. The Cardinal won 96-52 behind a
season-high 15 3s last month on the
Wildcats home oor in Tucson.
Injury-plagued Arizona had only six
healthy players after senior guard Carissa
Crutcheld sprained an ankle in a 63-49
loss at California on Friday night and hob-
bled in a walking boot.
With the Cardinal 9 for 45 on 3-point
attempts the past two games including 0
for 4 in Fridays win against Arizona State
Samuelson kept the pressure on the
Wildcats from the perimeter in this one. She
shot 5 for 8 from beyond the arc and was one
3-pointer shy of matching her career high.
Bonnies been working really hard, and
it was great to see her come in and get 17
points in 16 minutes, VanDerveer said.
Thats pretty (darn) good.
Stanford added three quick 3s early in the
second half, by Orrange, Taylor Greeneld
and Lili Thompson, and Arizona called
timeout down 61-21 with 15:50 remaining.
Arizona made 5 of its initial 7 shots to
keep things close early before a long
drought did the Wildcats in for good.
Trailing 11-8, Thompson scored four
straight points followed by four in a row
from Ogwumike as Stanford got rolling with
a 28-2 run to go ahead 36-13. The Wildcats
missed 15 straight shots during that 10 1/2-
minute stretch before Candice Warthens
basket at 4:24.
Samuelson hit four straight 3s late in the
rst half, and the Cardinal led 48-19 at
intermission behind 51.4 percent shooting
(18 for 35) with 10 3-pointers.
My shot was feeling pretty good. My
teammates did a really good job of nding
me, Samuelson said. I enjoy shooting 3s,
I like it.
Arizona made only seven eld goals in
the rst half and shot 31.5 percent overall,
missing all ve of its 3-point tries.

Olympic hat trick in the 5-1 U.S. win over
Slovenia. Canada defeated Finland 2-1 in

already been eliminated from medal con-
tention.

the Olympic ice, and the Netherlands cant
seem to lose.
The Russians were forced into a second
straight shootout on Sunday and now must
play an extra game to reach the mens hock-
ey quarterfinals. The Dutch speedskaters
have fared much better, earning a third
sweep of the podium at the Sochi Games.
With hockey-crazed Russian crowds pack-
ing the arenas, Canada, Sweden, the United
States and Finland advanced to the hockey
quarternals. Theyll be joined by the win-
ners of a four-game qualifying round next
Tuesday among the eight remaining teams.
Russia lost its chance to skip the qualify-
ing round when it was forced into a shootout
by Slovakia, winning 1-0. That allowed
Finland to claim the bye on goal difference.
Canada, Sweden and the U.S. all nished the
qualifying round undefeated.
At the Adler Arena, Dutch skaters swept
the podium in the womens 1,500 meters.
Overall, the Dutch have won an astounding
16 speedskating medals in Sochi out of 24
awarded so far, smashing the Olympic
record of 13 set by East Germany at the
1988 Calgary Games.
Two snowboarders were taken off the
slope on stretchers Sunday following crash-
es during qualifying rounds for the snow-
boardcross nals. One suffered a concus-
sion, the other an injured knee. It was the
same slope where Russian skicross racer
Maria Komissarova fractured a vertebra in
her back during a training crash Saturday.
She was airlifted to a German hospital
Sunday for further treatment.
Elsewhere on Day 10 of the Sochi
Olympics, Norwegian skier Kjetil Jansrud
earned his countrys fourth consecutive
Olympic title in mens super-G; Czech
snowboarder Eva Samkova won her coun-
trys rst gold medal of the games; and
Sweden took gold in the mens 4x10-kilo-
meter cross-country relay.

ALPINE SKIING: Jansrud continued

Norways dominance in super-G, outracing
two Americans and a Canadian for the
Scandinavian countrys fth gold in the
event in the past seven games. Andrew
Weibrecht earned the silver medal, while
American teammate Bode Miller and Jan
Hudec of Canada tied for bronze. It was
Millers sixth Olympic medal, moving him
two behind all-time Alpine leader Kjetil
Andre Aamodt of Norway. At 36, Miller is
the oldest Alpine skier to medal.

SNOWBOARDING: Samkova won the

womens snowboardcross, the rst gold of
the games for the Czech Republic. Samkova
led from start to nish in all three qualify-
ing and elimination races. Lindsey
Jacobellis of the U.S. crashed while leading
her seminal, the third straight disappoint-
ing Olympic nish for the eight-time X
Games winner. Jacobellis had gold in hand
in Turin in 2006 only to fall with a big lead
in the nal while attempting a fancy grab.
She recovered for silver. Four years ago in
Vancouver, she washed out early in her
seminal run.

CROSS-COUNTRY: Swedens win in the

4x10-kilometer relay came one day after the
Swedish women had won gold in the same
race. No country has won both relays since
the old Soviet Union did it 42 years ago.
Swedish anchor Marcus Hellner skied alone
for the entire fourth leg and grabbed a
Swedish ag to wave as he entered the stadi-
um. Russia took silver in front of President
Vladimir Putin. France nished third.

SPEEDSKATING: Jorien ter Mors earned

the gold in the Dutch sweep of the womens
1,500. Pre-race favorite Ireen Wust settled
for silver, with bronze going to Lotte van
Beek. If there had been a medal for fourth
place, the Dutch would have won that, too,
with Marrit Leenstra nishing just after Van
Beek. Ter Mors turned in a stunning time of
1 minute, 53.51 seconds, an Olympic record
and the second-fastest ever at sea level.

CURLING: Sweden and Canada became the

rst mens teams to qualify for the semi-
nals. Norway, Britain and China are bat-
tling for the other two spots. The Swedes
and Canadians also advanced to the semi-
nals in the womens tournament. China,
Britain, Switzerland and Japan still have a
chance for the remaining two semifinal
spots.

Caadas annual trip to Southern
California produced one of the sea-
sons wildest baseball games in
the nation to date. The Colts took
on Cuesta in doubleheader action
Saturday, splitting the twin bill
with a 21-16 victory in Game 1
before falling 6-3 in Game 2.
Cuesta committed 10 errors in
Game 1, opening the door for
Caada to jump out to a 21-5 lead
by the seventh inning. Cuesta put
up crooked numbers in each of the
last three innings, but could not
overcome Caadas ginormous
lead
Despite the outlandish score,
Caada starter Sam Alton was solid
over ve innings of work to earn
the win. The sophomore right-
hander allowed five runs (three
earned) on four hits and four
walks, improving his record to 2-
0.
In the nightcap, Cuesta evened
the score with a 6-3 win behind a
solid eight-inning effort by start-
ing pitcher Evan Peterson. The
Colts dropped Fridays game at
Allan Hancock, 2-0.
Caada center fielder Maurice
Fuller continues to swing a hot

ts been six years since I hired some-
one. Im ultimately responsible for
about 50 of PHS/SPCAs 110
employees as well as our volunteer pro-
gram, but I have just six direct reports and
each has been an incredibly valuable part
of our team since 2008. Recently, one
decided to move on. Our employee respon-
sible for our printed publications and
design work, our website maintenance and
a few other responsibilities is having her
second baby and decided to be a stay-at-
home mom, which I think is totally cool.
Fortunately, we get our share of interest
for openings, so Im condent well nd a
fantastic designer/webmaster/social media
coordinator soon. Fairly often, even when
we have no openings, people ask how
they can get hired. Or, they ask about tips
for seeking employment within the ani-
mal welfare eld, in general. For one,
dont stress how much of an animal per-
son you are. I know, sounds odd, coming
from me. But, we expect that applicants
will like animals, and want them to be
good around people since every employee
has to interact with people. If you want to
work for a humane society, animal shelter
or SPCA, try volunteering rst. The rst
applicant I contacted about our current
opening is a volunteer. I was able to ask
around about her and I also gured she
learned enough about our culture to know
its a good t. If you arent a volunteer,
learn about the organization by visiting
in person, reading everything you can
online and even checking out one of their
offsite events. In your printed materials,
spell the organizations name correctly!
One applicant called us the SPCALA.
Then again, an applicant years ago sent
her materials to the Pacic Humane
Society. She realized her error and sent
new materials a day later. I hired her and
she was with us nearly ve years. She suc-
ceeded in standing out and making an
impression, which is my last piece of
advice.

Americas. Sailing with four ships and 164
men, he added another ship he captured by
Africa. After crossing the Atlantic, he
scuttled two ships due to loss of men to
run them while crossing the Atlantic.
After arriving on the coast of South
America, he discovered that his flagship
was too rotted to continue so he burned it.
After spending the winter at port, he took
off for the Pacific with three remaining
ships that were soon damaged in a severe
storm. Only his ship continued to sail up
the west coast of South America. He
renamed his ship the Golden Hind, then
sailed north along the coast rifling and
sacking towns and capturing ships from
which he took their valuable cargos.
Outside of Peru, he captured a ship laden
with wine as well as a ship carrying
Peruvian gold worth $7 million. Another
ship yielded 80 pounds of gold, a golden
crucifix, jewels, 13 chests full of valu-
ables and 26 tons of silver. The trip north
was slow and full of danger due to the fog
and rocks along the coast.
On June 17, 1579, Drake landed at what
was believed to be land he called Nova
Albion. Because the captains of ships did
not always record exact dates in their logs
because they didnt want any enemy to
know where they had been, the logs dont
give enough information to state that he
landed exactly at what we call Drakes Bay
in Marin County.
Abrass plaque was later found stating he
landed there but it was later proven to be a
hoax. After refilling their supplies for the
ship, he headed west across the Pacific
Ocean. He landed in Indonesia where he
almost lost his ship on a reef. He contin-
ued sailing toward the tip of Africa, round-
ed the Cape of Good Hope and landed at
Sierra Leone on July 22, 1580 com-
pleting his circumnavigation of the
Earth. He presented the queens half-share
of the treasure that paid for the rest of the
crowns income for the year.
On April 4, 1581, the queen of England
awarded Drake knighthood by a French
diplomat (for political reasons) aboard
the Golden Hind. Sir Francis Drake died
Jan. 27, 1596.

KARACHI, Pakistan Abomb
placed by an ethnic separatist
group derailed a train in southwest
Pakistan on Sunday, killing eight
people, police and the militants
said.
Three of the dead were children
and another 20 people were
wounded by the blast in Kashmor
district, which caused several train
cars to run off the track, said
police ofcial Mohammad Azeem.
Kashmor is in Sindh province
but adjoins insurgency-hit
Baluchistan. One of several ethnic
Baluch separatist groups operat-
ing in the resource-rich province,
the Baluch Republican Army,
claimed responsibility. Al-Qaida-
linked militants also have a pres-
ence there.
The groups spokesman, Sarbaz
Baluch, said in a phone call to The
Associated Press from an undis-
closed location that the attack was
a reaction to what he alleged were
killings in Baluchistans Dera
Bugti region by Pakistani para-
militaries.
The group also blew up three gas
pipelines last week, suspending
supplies to millions of household
for two days.
Local Pakistani TV channels
showed footage of several badly
damaged train cars lying off the
track. Pakistani Railways
Minister Saad Raq said ofcials
were working to reopen the track
at earliest.
Meanwhile, a roadside bomb
killed a policeman guarding a
polio vaccination drive team in
the outskirts of northwestern city
of Peshawar.
Police official Ibrahim Khan
said another ofcer was wounded
in the attack during the weekly
anti-polio campaign in the
Budhni area.
Khan said the two ofcers were
patrolling a road leading to the
suburban neighborhood where
anti-polio teams were vaccinating
children.
Anti-polio teams or their guards
have been frequently targeted in
Pakistan by Islamic militants,
who say the campaigns are a tool
for spying and claim the vaccine
makes boys sterile.
Pakistan is one of the few
remaining countries where polio
persists and most cases found in
its northwest, where militants
make it difcult to reach children
for vaccination.

JOHANNESBURG They
refused to be rescued.
Emergency workers in South
Africa cleared a mine shaft
entrance of debris on Sunday,
allowing miners who had been
trapped below the chance to
escape. The only problem was that
the miners were working illegally
at the abandoned mine, and some
stayed underground because they
feared arrest if they came out,
according to ofcials.
At least 11 miners were escorted
to safety at the mine in Benoni,
on the outskirts of Johannesburg,
but an undetermined number of
their comrades were still in the
gold mine, emergency responder
Kobus Du Plooy said by telephone
late Sunday.
Police were preparing to ques-
tion those who came out about
anyone left underground, local
media reported.
After nightfall, some mine secu-
rity ofcials remained at the site,
but rescue workers had packed up
and left, leaving behind a ladder in
the shaft for those still below.
Should they have a change of
heart and mind, they then have at
least some access to get out of the
shaft, Du Plooy said.
He said he didnt know how
many people were still in the
shaft. Earlier, reports said more
than 200 miners had been trapped.
But the ones who emerged were
tightlipped about the colleagues
they left behind, apparently con-
cerned about trouble with the
police.
They dont want to give away
too much information, Du Plooy
said. It was unclear how long the
holdouts, who seemed to have few
options, planned to prolong their
stay in the mine.
Some of the 11 who came out
were dehydrated but otherwise in
good health. They were believed
to have been trapped since
Saturday morning and police
patrolling in the area heard their
screams for help, the South
African Press Association report-
ed. Rescue vehicles and equipment
were brought to the site to stabi-
lize the ground before the removal
of the rubble began.
Illegal mining is common in
South Africa, a major producer of
gold and platinum. Workers brave
unsafe conditions below ground
amid reports of the involvement
of organized crime and even clash-
es between rival groups seeking to
extract precious metal from the
shafts.
Authorities suspect the miners
in Benoni were robbed by a rival
group that blocked the mine exit,
reported Eyewitness News, a
South African media outlet.
Illegal mining remains a serious
concern, despite progress in curb-
ing it, South Africas mineral
resources department said in a
statement. It attributed the
improvement to illegal mining
forums, in which stakeholders in
the mining industry seal open
shafts and seek to detain illegal
miners, according to the South
African Press Association.
Some analysts say the problem
could increase if legal mines close
or downsize, forcing skilled work-
ers who have lost their jobs to
turn to illegal activities. South
Africas mining industry, a pillar
of the economy, is struggling
with rising costs. Tens of thou-
sands of workers in the platinum
sector are currently on strike.

Now, San Mateo County is taking the
novel approach of trying a regional
approach of having it and its 20 cities
work together on the study rather than
having each replicate the same process
and much of the same basic information
individually. Doing so saves the par-
ticipants time and money, according to
local housing officials.
The proposal to join the nexus study is
making its way through city councils.
The more that join the less expensive
each citys price tag with it falling some-
where between $16,000 to $20,000. In
comparison, an individual jurisdiction
would pay $30,000 to $60,000 to get the
same information on their own.
Its a lot of research in the same place
so cities are pretty happy to sign off and
get what they need at a minimal cost,
said Housing Department Director Bill
Lowell.
Participating cities include Brisbane,
Burlingame, Colma, Foster City, Menlo
Park, Redwood City, San Bruno, San
Mateo, Pacifica and South San Francisco.
San Mateo County is also on board and
Millbrae will be next fiscal year when
they can contribute funds and others may
also join later although their cost will be
higher. Foster City is taking the lead on
the project.
The cities have a consultant identified
and a list of informational goals the
maximum and recommended fees permit-
ted on new residential development,
allowable inclusionary zoning levels,
the maximum and recommended fees for
new commercial development and other
information like fee levels in other cities
and the potential benefits.
The consultant is ready to start the
study which is estimated to take about
eight to nine months and produce individ-
ual reports for each city, said Curtis
Banks, Community Development director
for Foster City.
Once in hand, the communities can
decide what do do with the data.
The study doesnt obligate any city to
initiate fees. It just gives them the back-
ground information to take the next
step, Banks said.
Lowell said the joint effort speaks not
only to the countys spirit of collabora-
tion but also the shared understanding
that the benefits of the high-tech boom
on the Peninsula can be a double-edged
sword when only a few hundred housing
units are built compared to the tens of
thousands of jobs created.
The problem is where will these peo-
ple live? In some sense, to say no to
housing after youve provided many of
the jobs, well the cow is out of the barn,
Lowell said.
The nexus study will look at both resi-
dential and commercial development and
the fees reached will be unique for each
city based on its conditions like land
cost s.
The countys study effort is catching
the attention of other regions and coun-
ties, like Santa Clara which Lowell said is
very interested in seeing how it plays
out.
While a shared nexus study is new, the
county taking a regional approach to its
housing needs is not. For the past two
years, the county and its cities have tack-
led the state-mandated housing element
and other goals though 21 Elements.
The effort gives participating cities a
forum for sharing best practices and
brainstorm policy and zoning along with
like the nexus study eliminating
redundancies and overlapping costs,
Stone said. The 21 Elements discussion is
what led to the idea of doing the same
with the nexus study, Stone said.
Its all a way for us to learn from each
other, Stone said.

The council is trying to work out an
agreement with Sunrise, said Councilman
Jerry Deal. He hopes Sunrise will respond
and the project will move forward.
Theres no signed agreement, but were
working on it, he said.
Meanwhile, Sunrise said there will be
updates on the project soon and that plans
are still in the works.
We continue to move forward with our
plans to develop Sunrise of Burlingame
and will provide an update on our progress
at next weeks City Council meeting,
Sara Abriatis, a spokeswoman for Sunrise,
said in an email.
Mayor Michael Brownrigg agreed with
Nagel that plans need to move forward.
Theres been no progress with the
facility, which is whats so frustrating to
the City Council and residents, he said.
Were told theres progress behind the
scenes with the financing and thats a
good thing, but it has been deeply frus-
trating no work has been done apparently.
That ought to be fixed frankly.
He noted the company is run and owned
by successful companies, Health Care
REIT (HCN) and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts
& Co. L.P. (KKR), so the project should
be doable.
Back in May 2013, the company
received a one-year building permit exten-
sion from the city, which expires on May
28 of this year. The city gave the exten-
sion, contingent on certain commitments
that Sunrise had to make. Progress
reports, updates to the city, inspections
of the unfinished structure and demonstra-
tion of progress toward completion of the
project by the new building permit dead-
line were some of the stipulations.
Sunrise said the latest updates on the
development can be found at sunrise-

Hoskins, who was married to the late
San Francisco 49ers football player
Bob Hoskins, received a Quiet Hero
award from state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo. She said she really appreciates
the awards and honors, but what she
really needs is for his help nding a
permanent building for her black his-
tory collection. She wants to keep it
on the Peninsula.
The building shes using this year
was donated by David Bohannon, the
owner of the building. She said Menlo
Park Mayor Ray Mueller helped her
nd the location.
Her decision to share her collection
was sparked by what she calls the
question she received from her now
24-year-old grandson Domini, for
whom the exhibit is named.
He had to do a report on Dr. (Martin
Luther) King (Jr.) and he asked werent
there any other famous black people
who did anything?, she said.
The museum is split into various
rooms, each covering different gures,
time periods and themes in black his-
tory. Theres a White House room; a
library; displays with African-
American dolls; a room for leaders like
Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther
King Jr., Nelson Mandela and
Malcolm X; a room to honor African
American musicians; a room to honor
black football players; a room dedicat-
ed to soul food; a room for baseball
player Willie Mays and another for
Jackie Robinson; another for the
49ers Jerry Rice; and others.
I try to do the best I can without any
money, Hoskins said.
Despite her discouragement, she
trudged on and opened the exhibit this
year with some encouragement from
family and friends.
It took so long to nd a building,
she said. I was hesitant and going to
say no [this year] because I know what
it takes to put it together, but Im just
so passionate about the history. So I
took a deep breath.
She notes there are so many people
in the Bay Area who are a part of black
history who can speak to children,
including Teri Jackson, the first
African-American woman appointed as
a judge to San Franciscos branch of
the Superior Court of California.
People dont take advantage of
their history and knowledge, Hoskins
said.
To make donations to the museum,
send a check made payable to the
Domini Hoskins Black History
Museum, 951 Old County Road, Box
#304 in Belmont. There will also be a
Motown fundraiser 7 p.m.-10 p.m.
Feb. 22. The museum is open 10 a.m.-
5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.
Saturday and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday.
Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for stu-
dents and its free for those under 5.
The exhibit is sponsored by the NFL
Alumni Northern California Chapter.
For now, she keeps the pieces in stor-
age during the rest of the year, which is
expensive, she said. If she discontin-
ues the museum, she said she will dis-
tribute the collection to her kids.
In addition to the museum, there will
be other Black History Month events
throughout the Peninsula. The Black
Parents Association of the San Mateo
Union High School District is hosting
a black history program and talent
show. This years theme is
Unapologetically Black. The program
will run 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. Feb. 28
at Hillsdale High School, 3115 Del
Monte St. in San Mateo. Admission to
the program is free to the public. If
interested in being a vendor, contact
the association or visit smubpa.yola-
site.com. All proceeds made will go
toward scholarships for graduating stu-
dents.
The NAACPs San Mateo branch will
host the Herby Dawkins Freedom Fund
Banquet and 88th Branch Anniversary
event 3 p.m.-5 p.m. March 16 at the
Elks Lodge, 229 W. 20th Ave. in San
Mateo. The keynote speaker will be
Alice A. Huffman, president of the
California NAACP. For further details
contact Robert Moore at (510) 543-
4045 or Gladys Young at (650) 343-
0345.

according the report.
The proposed bridge would be com-
pletely separate and south of Hillsdale
Boulevard between the Franklin
Parkway and Norfolk Street intersec-
tions, according to the report.
It would also complete the last major
segment of a 1.2-mile multi-use path
separated from vehicle trafc connect-
ing the Hillsdale Caltrain station and
the Los Prados and Lakeshore neigh-
borhoods.
The city is trying to become more
pedestrian and bicycle friendly, said
Ken Chin, a project manager for Public
Works.
The plans are still in the very early
stages and the department is a long
way from picking a specic design but
the City Council indicated it wanted to
create a unique signature design and
become a landmark for the city, accord-
ing to the report. The city recently
held a community workshop to gather
public input and ideas as it moves
through the process, Chin said.
About 60 people attended the meet-
ing and shared thoughts about the
style of the bridge, a signature design,
amenities theyd like to see and con-
cerns about funding, Chin said.
The public wants a timeless design
that draws from the surrounding envi-
ronment such as the rolling hills and
lagoon, Chin said. Ideas for including
amenities such as benches and shelters
will also be taken into consideration,
Chin said.
People want to make sure the bridge
is well lit and even made suggestions
for the city to install security cameras.
Although the city hasnt determined
exact measurements for the width of
the bridge, it should be able to accom-
modate wheelchairs and strollers, Chin
said.
The bridge could cost upwards of $12
million to create but the city hasnt
gotten far enough to determine where
it could nd the money, Chin said.
The current outreach phase of the
project is being supported by San
Mateo County Measure Afunds the city
secured last year and it will probably
look at applying for other grants as it
progresses, Chin said.
One thing is for certain, Caltrans
will be have to be on board with the
project since the bridge crosses the
freeway, Chin said.
Public Works staff will work on com-
piling the community workshop dis-
cussions and present a report to the
council sometime in March. Further
workshops will be held throughout the
coming months and listed on the citys
website.

By Hamza Hendawi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO An explosion tore through a bus
lled with South Korean sightseers in the
Sinai Peninsula on Sunday, killing at least
four people and raising fears that Islamic
militants have renewed a bloody campaign
to wreck Egypts tourism industry.
The bombing near the tip of the Red Seas
Gulf of Aqaba was the rst attack against
tourists in Sinai in nearly a decade.
There was no immediate claim of respon-
sibility. But the blast bore the hallmarks of
attacks blamed on the al-Qaida-linked mili-
tant groups that have been battling govern-
ment forces in Sinais restive north for
years.
At least three South Korean tourists were
killed and 12 seriously wounded, according
to Egyptian security ofcials. The Egyptian
bus driver was also among the dead, the of-
cials said.
I am deeply saddened by the incident,
Tourism Minister Hesham Zazou told state
TV. The Egyptian presidency called the
attack a despicable act of cowardice and
vowed to bring the culprits to justice.
Egypts vital tourism sector, which nor-
mally accounts for about 11 percent of the
economy and 20 percent of all foreign cur-
rency revenue, has been badly hit by the
deadly turmoil that has roiled the country
since the 2011 revolt that overthrew ruler
Hosni Mubarak.
Sundays blast came as signs of a slow
recovery in the industry were emerging,
especially at Red Sea resorts in Sinai like
Sharm el-Sheik.
The sad consequence for Egypt is that
this takes the tourism industry and devas-
tates it for years into the future, said Jon
Alterman, director of the Middle East
Program at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies in Washington.
Egyptian security officials said they
believe the blast was caused by either a car
bomb or a roadside bomb that was detonated
by remote control.
Rescue workers found the remains of four
and perhaps five people, according to
Khaled Abu Hashem, the head of ambulance
services in southern Sinai.
In Seoul, the foreign ministry said in a
text message that 31 passengers from a
church in Jincheon were being led by a
South Korean tour guide. Two of its citizens
were killed and nine wounded, the ministry
added.
The discrepancy in the death toll could
not immediately be reconciled.
The attack stoked fears that a deadly cam-
paign against tourists similar to one waged
in the 1990s by extremists may have
resumed. In 1997, gunmen opened re at the
Temple of Hatshepsut in the city of Luxor,
killing 58 tourists and four Egyptians.
Sundays bombing was the rst attack
against tourists in Sinais southern region
since a spasm of bloodshed in 2004-06 that
killed about 120 people. That included a
bombing at a luxury hotel in Taba in 2004
that left 34 people dead, 11 of them Israelis.
The bus in Sundays attack had set out on
a journey from Cairo and was about to enter
Israel from the border town of Taba, of-
cials said. Security ofcials said it arrived at
Taba from the ancient Greek Orthodox
monastery of St. Catherines in Sinai.
The officials spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not author-
ized to speak to the media.
Meanwhile on Sunday, lawyers for
deposed Islamist President Mohammed
Morsi and his co-defendants walked out of
court to protest the soundproof glass cage
in which the accused are held during pro-
ceedings.
It was the rst hearing in a case in which
Morsi and 35 others are charged with con-
spiring with foreign groups and undermin-
ing national security.
The judge ordered Egypts lawyers union
to appoint 10 members to represent the
defendants. The trial was adjourned until
Feb. 23.
The soundproof cage was introduced after
Morsi and his co-defendants interrupted
other court cases by talking over the judge
and chanting slogans.
The cage is tted to give the judge sole
control over whether the defendants can be
heard.
In a separate development, the ofce of
Egypts former chief of staff, Sami Annan,
announced Sunday that the retired general
will run for president in elections scheduled
for April.
The decision apparently pits Annan
against Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the general
who led the military takeover that ousted
Morsi. El-Sissi is widely expected to
announce his candidacy, and is heavily
favored to win.

Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!
Lisa K. San Jose, 2013
I came in to Dr. Ferrigno for
lower back pain. Its a problem
that I have had for about 10 to
15 years. I tried everything from
physiatrists, medical doctors,
doctor of osteopathy, chiropractic,
acupuncture, pain medications,
epidural injections and everything
was a temporary fx. I decided to try
the DRX therapy and Ive gone from
an average pain level between 5/7
out of 10 all the way down to a pain
level of 1 to 2 pretty consistently.
The DRX was defnitely the only
thing that has made me feel better.

we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
