U.N.WARNS KIM JONG UN THAT HE MAY BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR WIDESPREAD CRIMES
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
County supervisors were careful
not to draw themselves out of their
district when revamping bound-
aries last year but are now nding
that at least one appointed com-
missioner wasnt so lucky.
Although the number of
appointees affected are limited,
the Board of Supervisors have had
to vote on waiving district resi-
dency requirements and discuss
whether doing so is only a short-
term x. The board had no prob-
lem maintaining the faces already
in those seats for now but there is
some difference in opinion about
whether removal is unfair to the
appointing supervisor or main-
taining an out-of-area representa-
tive is unjust to that particular
jurisdiction.
We have talented commission-
ers but dont you think they really
ought to live in their districts?
Supervisor Carole Groom asked
her colleagues at a late January
board meeting.
Groom agreed with that agendas
request to waive residency man-
dates as a matter of public interest
for the Arts and Parks and
Recreation commissions if neces-
sary until successors are picked.
However, she questioned how long
to do so.
At some point, we should think
about how long they should stay if
theyre not in the district, Groom
said.
Supervisor Adrienne Tissier said
shes comfortable with the current
exception and that removing her
appointee would be a disservice
to me because I think hes served
me very well.
Redistricting means commission, board changes
New supervisor districts create questions about appointees residency

Foster Citys drug giant
Gilead aims to increase access to medication with expanded campus
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Foster City biopharmaceutical
giant Gilead Science, Inc. is at
forefront of discovering drugs to
treat life-threatening diseases and
its officials believe essentially
doubling the size of its campus
will allow it to expand its assis-
tance to developing countries
across the world.
Gilead Science, Inc., was found-
ed in 1987 near Vintage Park Drive
and focuses on researching and
developing treatments for diseases
such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and
C, cardiovascular and respiratory
diseases and cancer.
We believe expanding opera-
tions in Foster City allows us to
accommodate our long-term
growth as we seek to develop more
novel therapies that address unmet
medical needs for patients living
with life-threatening diseases
around the world, Clifford
Samuel, vice president of access
operations and emerging markets,
wrote in an email.

more than 5,800 employees across

smoking rules
Foster City to holding
study session Feb. 24
By Aimee Lewis Strain
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Foster City smokers might soon
have some new rules to follow, as
the city is considering whether
changes should be made to its
smoking ordinance, which hasnt
been updated in 18 years.
Astudy session is being held Feb.
24 to encourage an open dialogue
on the matter and to allow residents
to weigh in on what changes they
think should be made, according to
city ofcials. Aprevious study ses-
sion was held in September.
In 1996, Foster City updated its
smoking ordinance to prohibit the
sale of cigarettes in vending
machines and self-service displays.
The city has further restricted
smoking in some outdoor restau-
rant seating areas and has sought
the publics voluntary compliance
in not smoking in city parks and at
city-sponsored events such as the
annual Art and Wine Festival and
the Fourth of July celebration.
The study session is 6:30 p.m.
Feb. 24 in the Foster City Council
Chambers, 620 Foster City Blvd.
No action will be taken at the
meeting, but the feedback will
help city ofcials direct staff on
how to craft a smoking ordinance
to be considered by the council at
a future date.

Health department deems
Mexican cactus a health risk
SACRAMENTO California health
ofcials are warning people not to eat
cactus sold in several stores around the
state because of the presence of unap-
proved pesticides.
The state Department of Public
Health said Sunday that a recent
inspection of cactus imported from
Mexico found traces of
Monocrotophos, a pesticide that has
been barred from use in the United
States since 1989. Consumption of
the pesticide can lead to neurotoxicity
and permanent nerve damage.
The department is urging anyone
who bought the contaminated product
at the following stores between Feb. 6
and 12 to return it or get rid of it.
The cactus was sold at: La Superior
SuperMercados in Sacramento,
Stockton, Woodland and Pittsburg;
Mercado del Valle in Concord; and La
Sucursal Produce, Fresh American
Produce and J&L Produce in Los
Angeles.
Drivers mostly avoid
Jamzilla and I-405 work
LOS ANGELES Jamzilla hasnt
lived up to its name at least so far.
Drivers over the holiday weekend
mostly avoided a stretch of Interstate
405 in Los Angeles County, where
repaving is continuing as part of a
project to add carpool lanes to the
notoriously choked freeway.
Ofcials say the job is on schedule
and the freeway and on-ramps should be
open fully by 6 a.m. Tuesday, in time
for the workday rush.
Workers are repaving nearly six
miles of northbound lanes over the
Sepulveda Pass connecting West Los
Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.
There should be minimal impact on
southbound lanes.
Metropolitan Transportation
Authority spokesman Dave Sotero
Monday thanked motorists for staying
away.
Planners practically begged drivers
to avoid the area, fearing what was
nicknamed a Jamzilla of trafc.
Mother wants
memorial to daughter saved
LOS ANGELES A Long Beach
mother wants the city to allow a memo-
rial to her daughter, who was stabbed to
death in 2012, to remain on public
property.
The tribute to 9-year-old Xiomara
Fernandez near the parking lot where
she was killed began with owers but
now includes a bench, plantings and
bird bath.
Its become a weekly refuge for the
late girls mother, 42-year-old Graciela
Fernandez.
Impromptu memorials are common,
but the Los Angeles Times reported
Monday that city ofcials say it can-
not stay permanently on public prop-
erty.
They want to work with Fernandez
on other options.
The girls stepfather, Jacinto Zuniga
Trujillo, has been charged with one
count of murder with the special cir-
cumstance that he killed the girl
because she was a witness to a crime.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE It used to be that hacking
was just a type of crime, a computer break-in.
But today, the term is also part of a growing
and perfectly legal mainstay of the tech
sector.
Computer programming competitions
known as hackathons have spread like
viruses in recent years as ways for geeks,
nerds and designers to get together to eat
pizza, lose sleep and create something new.
The formal, marathon group brainstorm-
ing sessions are focused on everything from
developing lucrative apps to using computer
code to solve the worlds problems. This year
a record 1,500 hackathons are planned
around the globe, up from just a handful in
2010.
Ahackathon is the fastest way to actually
do something about an idea, said Nima
Adelkhani, organizer of the weekend-long
Hack for Peace in the Middle East competi-
tion in San Francisco this month.
Law enforcement has not abandoned the
term. Dozens of federally convicted hack-
ers are serving prison sentences for comput-
er fraud and other cybercrimes. And the
Justice Departments cybercrime budget this
year is $9 million to target offenses that
include hacking.
But the new uses have popped up with
increasing frequency since a pair of tech
events in 1999 where developers worked
together to write programs. Yahoo gets
recognition for the rst ofcial hackathon in
2005. And Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg
has been largely credited with helping broad-
en the denitions by urging his staff to
hack by building something quickly or
testing the boundaries of what can be done.
A new Facebook option that went live
Thursday allowing users more than 50 ways
to identify their gender beyond male and
female was conceived during a company
hackathon four months ago.
This month, the rst global hackathon for
Black Male Achievement was held in
Oakland. Music Hack Day is coming in
Tokyo and Hackomotive competitors will
develop apps in Santa Monica that make it
easier to buy and sell cars.
During these sorts of tech-heavy, weekend
competitions, teams of computer program-
mers, software engineers and developers hud-
dle over monitors for hours, working up new
apps for smartphones or other devices. A
panel of judges selects winners, and prizes
are usually awarded.
Developers are a rare breed where they get
paid a lot of money to do this job during the
week, and they enjoy it so much they want to
do it more on the weekend, said Jon
Gotfriend, whos been going to hackathons
for more than three years.
As such events have become more popular,
a set of rules has coalesced. Teams are typi-
cally made up of a handful of people.
Designs, ideas and even mock-ups can be
worked on in advance, but everyone starts
writing code at the same time. And teams own
whatever they come up with.
The opening stages of a hackathon can be
exciting as challenges, prizes, teams and
judges are introduced. But within hours
theres a quiet buzz and lots of keyboard
clicking as programmers make their ideas a
reality.
Participants arrive with sleeping bags,
deodorant, toothbrushes, pillows and lap-
tops. By mornings wee hours, pizza, energy
drinks and bean bag chairs are in hot demand.
Candy of all kinds is consumed, and by the
time the buzzer goes off after 24 or 48 hours,
most participants are disheveled and a little
loopy.
Like the tech industry itself, hackathon
participants are mostly men. But some
organizers are trying to change that.
There was an unusually high number of
women at a hackathon at the AT&TDeveloper
Summit in Las Vegas last month after organ-
izers promised $10,000 extra to any team
with a majority of females. It worked; both
winning teams were led by women. But in
every other way, the event was typical.
Computer whizzes brainstorm for
cash at hackathons competitions
Developers are a rare breed where they
get paid a lot of money to do this job during the week, and
they enjoy it so much they want to do it more on the weekend.

Three arrested during
DUI saturation patrols
Three people were arrested during DUI
Saturation Patrols in parts of San Mateo
County on Saturday night, according to the
Burlingame Police Department.
The patrol took place between 6 p.m.
Saturday and 2 a.m. Sunday and was conduct-
ed by units from the San Mateo, Foster City
and Burlingame police departments.
A total of 61 cars were stopped and
screened while four drivers were given eld
sobriety tests, police said.
Joan Raoul, 34, of San Mateo and Luther
Sacinas, 36, of Oakland were arrested for
driving under the influence of alcohol,
according to police.
Kevin Mullins, 40, of Willits, was arrest-
ed for possession of paraphernalia, accord-
ing to police.
Four motorists were also cited for sus-
pended license violations, police said.
The patrol was funded by a grant from the
California Ofce of Trafc Safety through
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
Residents targeted by phone scam
San Mateo police are warning the public
of a scam in which a caller claims to be a law
enforcement officer and then asks for
money.
Several city residents reported receiving a
phone call on Saturday from a person who
warned them that a bench warrant had been
issued for their arrest and instructed them to
send money through a wire transfer, police
said.
The caller told the residents that if they
did not follow through with the transaction,
they would be arrested, according to police.
San Mateo police said law enforcement
agencies dont make calls like that, and
advised residents not to send any money if
they receive a similar call.
Anyone who receives such a call is
advised to contact police.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLYMPIA, Wash. Tesla enthusiasts
drove their electric cars to Olympia on
Monday to protest legislation they said
would prevent the company from opening
and operating additional facilities in
Washington state.
Tesla lobbyist Daniel Witt told supporters
at the Capitol that under legislation current-
ly proposed, Tesla Motors Inc. would not be
able to expand beyond the two stores and
service centers it operates in Seattle and
Bellevue.
Language in House Bill 2524 and its com-
panion, Senate Bill 6272, says the
Department of Licensing would no longer
be able to issue additional facility licenses
to Tesla because of its status as a vehicle
manufacturer and not as a dealer. The compa-
ny sells cars directly from the manufacturer
to the consumer.
Were eager to see this language out of
the bill, Witt said.
Bill Hotchkiss, of Vancouver, Wash., said
he and his wife bought their Tesla Model S
sedan online in April 2013, a process he
called seamless. Hotchkiss said that they
came to Olympia Monday, in part, because,
it cost us nothing to get here. The car can
go up to 265 miles on a single battery
charge.
Lawmakers in both chambers said
Monday afternoon they were working on
amendments to the bills that would reduce
the impact on Tesla.
Bill sponsor Sen. Mike Hewitt, R-Walla
Walla, said that although his bill was creat-
ed to keep the Palo Alto automaker from
adding similar showrooms, he was open to
an amendment making sure it would be able
to keep its already established facilities.
Im trying to help keep dealerships
alive, he said.
Rep. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle, said he
and Rep. Matt Manweller, R-Ellensburg,
introduced an amendment to HB2524
Monday afternoon. It would allow Tesla and
other new car companies to continue their
business and expand it.
The purpose of our amendment is to with-
draw any prohibition on Tesla to conduct
sales, Carlyle said.
The Model S begins at about $70,000 but
can top $100,000 with options.
Washington state has the most Tesla vehicle
sales per capita, Witt said.
Both bills, which also clarify existing
laws between car dealers and manufacturers,
have passed through one committee and are
in their respective Rules Committees.

Seigler Springs Resort in Lake County with
his aunt and cousins where he later returned
with his cousin to work during the summer.
It was there he met the love of his life,
Claire Annette Olsen.
He is survived by his devoted wife Claire;

SOCHI, Russia An Italian activist
shouting Its OK to be gay and
dressed in a rainbow-colored outt and
large headdress was detained Monday
as she entered an arena to watch an
Olympic hockey game.
Vladimir Luxuria, a former
Communist lawmaker in the Italian
parliament who has become a promi-
nent transgender rights crusader and
television personality, was stopped
by four men and then driven away by
police in a car with Olympic mark-
ings.
Luxuria later told The Associated
Press she was kept in the car for about
10 minutes, then released in the coun-
tryside after the men had taken away
her Olympic spectator pass. She even-
tually made it back to her hotel and
said she was leaving Russia on Tuesday
morning.
They dont say anything. They just
were people who had to do this and
they did it, Luxuria said.
Earlier Monday, Luxuria walked
around the Olympic Park in Sochi for
about two hours. She was shouting
Gay is OK and Its OK to be gay in
both English and Russian.
As she was being led away from
Shayba Arena, she was shouting I
have a ticket.
Luxuria said she was detained on
Sunday evening by Russian police
who told her she should not wear
clothes with slogans supporting gay
rights. Police denied detaining her.
The Italian activist walked around
the Olympic Park on Monday with a
group of journalists, attracting
onlookers. Some Russian fans stopped
to pose for photos with her.

KINGSBURG The California
Highway Patrol was mourning the loss
of two officers Monday after their
squad car ipped over while respond-
ing to a multi-vehicle crash.
Ofcers Brian Law, 34, of Clovis,
and Juan Gonzalez, 33, of Fresno, were
heading to the crash on state Route 99
near the Central Valley town of
Kingsburg when they swerved to avoid
a person in the road and lost control of
the vehicle, the CHP said.
California Gov. Jerry Brown and rst
lady Anne Gust Brown sent their
regards Monday to the fallen ofcers
and their loved ones. Flags will be
own at half-staff at the State Capitol
in Sacramento.
Anne and I extend our deepest con-
dolences and sympathies to the fami-
lies, friends and colleagues of Ofcers
Law and Gonzalez as they mourn the
tragic loss of these dedicated public
servants, Brown said in a written
statement. We join all Californians in
honoring these officers for their
courage, commitment and service.
Law and Gonzalez were traveling
southbound to get to the crash, CHP
Capt. Dave Paris said.
The original pre-dawn collision
about 25 miles southeast of Fresno
was initially reported on the north-
bound side of the divided highway,
Paris said. The ofcers soon realized,
however, that the crash scene was actu-
ally in the southbound lanes, and one
the drivers involved was on the road,
Paris said.
Gonzalez, who was driving, swerved
out of the way, and the squad car hit a
guardrail and struck the pylon of a free-
way exit sign, said Ofcer Axel Reyes,
a CHP spokesman.

NEWHAVEN, Conn. Federal prosecutors want a man con-
victed in a failed 2001 shoe bomb plot to bring down an air-
plane to testify at the sentencing of two
British citizens who pleaded guilty in
Connecticut to supporting terrorists
through websites.
The testimony reects an effort by pros-
ecutors to show that Babar Ahmad, one of
the two men facing sentencing in
Connecticut, had an active role in sending
recruits to terrorism training camps
beyond appealing for support on the web-
sites.
Prosecutors say the witness is expected to testify that
Ahmad sent him to Afghanistan to train for violent jihad and
that he ultimately moved on from Ahmad and came under the
mentorship and training of al-Qaida members who prepared
him for the shoe bomb plot. The man also is expected to tes-
tify that he saw nearly two dozen others that Ahmad sent from
the United Kingdom to train in Afghanistan, and he would
describe camping trips and training exercises that Ahmad
organized in England to groom recruits for violent jihad
abroad, prosecutors said.
Ahmads conduct went beyond cyberspace and included real
world effects and consequences owing from the criminal
activity, regardless of the media used to plan, coordinate and
execute some of the conduct, prosecutors wrote in court
papers last week, citing his efforts to send people to
Afghanistan to train for violent jihad and emails discussing
night vision goggles and safe routes into Afghanistan.
Ahmads attorneys say theyll respond in court objecting to
the request to have the man testify by a videotaped deposition.
Prosecutors didnt name the man they want to testify, but his
description matches that of Saajid Badat, a British citizen
whose videotaped testimony was shown at the 2012 New York
City trial of a man convicted in a foiled plot to attack the New
York City subway system in 2009. Aspokesman for the pros-
ecutors declined to comment to the Associated Press on the
witnesss identity.
Badat was convicted in London in a plot to down an
American Airlines ight from Paris to Miami with explosives
hidden in his shoes. He said at that trial that he refused a
request to testify in person in the U.S. because he remains
under indictment in Boston on charges he conspired with
failed shoe bomber Richard Reid and has been told hed be
arrested if he set foot in the United States.
Prosecutors said the man they want to testify at Ahmads
sentencing had testied by videotape at the trial for the foiled
subway plot, was indicted in Massachusetts on charges related
to the shoe bomb plot, refuses to testify in the U.S. and
expects to be arrested upon arrival in the country.

CARACAS, Venezuela A
crowd of anti-government
activists wrested free an opposi-
tion politician as he was being
hauled away in handcuffs by secu-
rity forces following a raid on the
party headquarters of President
Nicolas Maduros biggest foe.
Dario Ramirez, a city council-
man, shouted Im an elected of-
cial as national guardsmen, sur-
rounded by journalists and party
activists, frantically looked for an
escape route from the Caracas
shopping mall where they took
him into custody. Once outside,
dozens of activists banging pots
and pans in protest attacked the
squad, freeing Ramirez by force
and speeding him away on a
motorcycle.
The dramatic scene underscored
the rising tensions that could spill
over into violence Tuesday when
pro- and anti-government
activists hold dueling demonstra-
tions in the capital.
Ramirez belongs to the Popular
Will party led by Leopoldo Lopez,
the target of a police manhunt
accused by Maduro of inciting vio-
lence and leading a U.S.-backed
conspiracy to oust him from
power.
Maduros government on
Monday gave three U.S. Embassy
officials 48 hours to leave the
country, charging that the Obama
administration is siding with
opposition protesters.
Foreign Minister Elias Jaua said
the senior U.S. consular ofcers
were trying to infiltrate
Venezuelan universities, the
hotbed of the recent unrest, under
the cover of doing visa outreach.
The U.S. denied the charges, and
is expressing concern about ris-
ing violence and the govern-
ments attempts to block peaceful
protests.
Secretary of State John Kerry
said Saturday that Lopezs arrest
would have a chilling effect on
Venezuelans right to free expres-
sion.

JAKARTA, Indonesia
Indonesias foreign minister said
Monday he was bafed by the latest
report of a top-secret document
about Australia spying on
Indonesia and offering to share that
information with the U.S., saying
he was not sure how snooping on a
trade spat could relate to security.
Foreign Minister Marty
Natalegawa said he found mind-
boggling Australia Prime Minister
Tony Abbotts explanation con-
cerning allegations that Canberra
conducted surveillance involving
an American law rm hired by the
Indonesian government to help in
a trade dispute with the U.S.
In the document obtained by for-
mer U.S. National Security Agency
system analyst Edward Snowden,
Australia offered to share the infor-
mation it collected with the NSA,
The New York Times reported on its
website over the weekend.
Abbott has refused to comment
on the report but told the Australian
Broadcasting Corp. that any mate-
rial gathered is for the benet of
our friends and to protect our cit-
izens and the citizens of other
countries.
To suggest that the future of
shrimp exports from Indonesia to
the United States has an impact on
Australian security is a bit too
much, Natalegawa said, referring
to a dispute over Indonesia alleged-
ly dumping shrimp on the U.S. at
below-market prices.
In our view, neighbors like
Indonesia and Australia should be
looking out for each other, not
turning against each other. We
should be listening to each and not
listening in, and I think it is a very
important and ne distinction, he
said.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visits participants of a national agriculture competition in
this undated photo released by North Koreas Korean Central News Agency.
By John Heilprin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GENEVA A U.N. panel warned North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Monday that
he may be held accountable for orchestrat-
ing widespread crimes against civilians in
the secretive Asian nation, ranging from
systematic executions to torture, rape and
mass starvation.
It is unusual for a U.N. report to directly
implicate a nations leader. But in a letter
accompanying a yearlong investigative
report, the chairman of a three-member U.N.
commission of inquiry, retired Australian
judge Michael Kirby, directly warned Kim
that international prosecution is needed to
render accountable all those, including pos-
sibly yourself, who may be responsible for
crimes against humanity.
Even without being directly involved in
crimes against humanity, a military com-
mander may be held responsible for crimes
against humanity committed by forces under
the commanders effective command and
control, Kirby wrote.
He urged Kim to take all necessary and
reasonable measures to stop crimes against
humanity and insure that they are properly
investigated and prosecuted. Kirby added,
however, there was no indication the North
Korea would do so.
The investigative commissions 372-
page report is a wide-ranging indictment of
North Korea for policies including political
prison camps with 80,000 to 120,000 peo-
ple, state-sponsored abductions of North
Korean, Japanese and other nationals, and
lifelong indoctrination.
They are wrongs that shock the con-
science of humanity, Kirby said, compar-
ing them with Nazi atrocities.
Details of the findings were reported
Friday by the Associated Press.
Speaking to reporters after the release of
the report, Kirby said it was impossible not
to include Kims name in the list of suspects
because of what he described as the govern-
ments totalitarian nature.
Kirby referred to prison camps, which
North Korea says do not exist. However,
the satellite images show the prison camps
and we had testimony, which is quoted in the
report, which tells the stories of the prison
camps that include starvation and stunted
growth in babies, he said.

GENEVA It seemed like a routine
overnight flight until the Ethiopian
Airlines jetliner went into a dive and oxy-
gen masks dropped from the ceiling. Only
then did the terried passengers bound
for Italy from Addis Ababa realize some-
thing was terribly wrong.
The co-pilot had locked his captain from
the cockpit, commandeered the plane, and
headed for Geneva, where he asked for polit-
ical asylum, although authorities say a
prison cell is more likely.
One passenger said the hijacker threat-
ened to crash the plane if the pilot didnt
stop pounding on the locked door. Another
said he was terried for hours Monday as
the plane careened across the sky.
The Boeing 767-300 took off from the
Ethiopian capital on an overnight ight to
Milan and then Rome, but it sent a distress
message over Sudan that it had been
hijacked, an Ethiopian ofcial said. Once
the plane was over Europe, two Italian ght-
er jets and later French jets were scrambled
to accompany it.
Italian Air Force Col. Girolamo Iadiciccio
said the order to scramble came from NATO
to ensure the plane didnt harm national
security and didnt stray off-route.
The plane landed in Geneva at about 6
a.m. (0500 GMT). Ofcials said no one on
the ight was injured and the hijacker was
taken into custody after surrendering to
Swiss police.
The pilot went to the toilet and he (the
co-pilot) locked himself in the cockpit,
Geneva airport chief executive Robert
Deillon told reporters. (He) wanted asylum
in Switzerland.
It wasnt immediately clear why he chose
Switzerland over Italy. Swiss voters recent-
ly demanded curbs on immigration and Italy
has a reputation among many Africans as
not being hospitable to asylum seekers.

High-speed rail
or money sucker?
Editor,
I was pleased to read that Lt. Gov.
Gavin Newsoms opinion regarding
high-speed rail for California has
evolved (Newsom says to stop high-
speed rail plans in the Feb. 15 issue
of the Daily Journal). This well-
intended project was sold to the vot-
ers with numerous misstatements and
must be stopped in its tracks before
any more money is wasted.
Several states have already rejected
high-speed rail and said, thanks, but
no thanks to the token federal fund-
ing. In California the federal funding
would be approximately $3 billion
but we are talking about a boondog-
gle that will cost at least $100 bil-
lion. I applaud our lieutenant gover-
nor for having the political courage
to stand up and be counted along with
the majority of California tax payers
who realize we have many more
pressing needs than a multi-billion-
dollar project that is projected to
have very little ridership and would
require huge taxpayer subsidy.

High-speed rail lessons learned
Editor,
On Feb. 14, 2014, California Lt.
Gov. Gavin Newsom publicly stated
that high-speed rail must not be fund-
ed, that Most [Sacramento
Democrats] are saying it privately,
that I think Im where the public was
and is and funding is nonexistant
because We dont have the federal
dollars the private sector hasnt
stepped up. (Newsom says to stop
high-speed rail plans in the Feb. 15-
16 edition of the Daily Journal.)
Call your California assemblymem-
ber/senator today to demand that
he/she defund the high-speed rail
boondoggle. Unfortunately, King
Jerry Brown is being unduly inu-
enced by construction/labor unions
looking to prot by him building his
$117 billion Legacy Train to
Nowhere. But, if high-speed rail is
funded, this kills every future local,
school and state bond due to politi-
cian mistrust. In 2008, high-speed
rail politicians promised a $38 bil-
lion train with California exposure
capped at $10 billion. But, in 2012,
the High-Speed Rail Authority bal-
looned its estimate to $117 billion,
demanding that Californias general
fund cover the extra $79 billion con-
struction cost essentially a blank
check to build at any cost. Voters
never approved a blank check and
will now forever mistrust new bond
requests sold to the public by
greedy politicians like high-speed
rails .

Ideas to help Millbrae schools
Editor,
I was educated in the Millbrae
Elementary School District, am a
teacher and resident of Millbrae. I
have found Superintendent Linda Luna
very efcient in helping my neigh-
borhood correct the problems that
have troubled us for years due to par-
ents lack of consideration when
picking up children. Some ideas to
help these unprofessional meetings
are:
Everyone
Children always come rst, not
you;
Cool heads prevail;
Do not use mob mentality;
Respect the position you are
addressing, even if you do not respect
the person;
Stop any bullying at the meetings;
this lowers your power;
Set an example on solving prob-
lems; offer solutions; have one
spokesperson if possible; and
Compromise.
Teachers
You are captain in the classroom
only, not outside of the classroom;
Board Meetings are not the place to
argue salary/health benets, save for
the bargaining table;
Be thankful you have a job; you
cannot always be at the top salary
range;
Stop bragging about what a good
teacher you are; if you are good some-
one else will brag about you; and
Remember why you went into
teaching; hopefully it was to make a
difference in a childs life, not yours.
Administration and board
If teachers do not get a raise, nei-
ther do you;
If you make promises, keep them;
and
Listen.
Parent s
Children are loaned to us to raise;
they do not fulll our dreams, but
their own;
They cannot always get As in
school; do not ask the teachers to
change grades; and
Support your children, teachers and
board in their decisions.

Cable TV merger
Editor,
Much is being written about the pro-
posed $45.2 billion acquisition of
Time Warner Cable by Comcast
(Comcast strikes deal to buy Time
Warner Cable in the Feb. 14 edition of
the Daily Journal).
Most of the emphasis has been on
the probability of this being a threat
to competition. The present market-
ing strategy of Comcast and AT&T i n
the Peninsula does not give us much of
a choice and I have to think that it is
probably the same in other markets
around the country where the proposed
acquirer and the one to be acquired com-
pete. The so-called bundles our local
providers force on consumer with 200
or more channels of which only ve or
seven are relevant, are really a joke and
the $160 or more per month, a total
waste. What do I do with Tagalog and
Chinese language channels if I do not
speak them?
Many people are doing away with
their phone landlines in favor of their
cellphones, yet these bundles often
force consumers to continue that
unnecessary service to save money.
Who are we kidding? So, Comcast,
Warner, AT&T, DirecTV, etc., go ahead
and merge all you want. It wont make
any difference to us the consumers. But
it is good to see our younger genera-
tion doing away with this monopoly
and doing most or all of their viewing
on their laptops.

Taking bribes
Editor,
Former New Orleans Mayor Ray
Nagin was found guilty of 20 of the 21
counts against him involving a string
of crimes committed before and after
Hurricane Katrina. The Democrat, who
left ofce in 2010 after eight years,
was indicted in January 2013 on
charges he accepted hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars in bribes money,
free vacation trips and truckloads of
free granite for his family business
from businessmen who wanted work
from the city or Nagins support for
various projects(Ex-New Orleans
mayor convicted of taking bribes in
the Feb. 13 issue of the Daily Journal).
What makes this story so sad is if
Ray Nagin was Congressman Nagin,
instead of Mayor Nagin, then every-
thing he was found guilty of is just the
everyday way the elected ofcials do
business in the District of Criminals.
No indictment, no trial, no problem;
just business as usual.

Get out
of clown
S
end in the clowns, at least if there are any left. The
national clown population is dwindling to a woeful
low, according to the New York Daily News which
broke this devastating turn of events while reporting on
the latest local staging of The Greatest Show on Earth.
Surely this tabloid jests without clowns there can be
no circus and without the circus there can be no silly per-
former antics and trained animals in captivity. And with-
out trained animals in captivity there can be one less
thing for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
to protest. Just imagine. And the rodeo what the heck
will the rodeo do?
But this is no joke.
Cue Smokey Robinson
and grab a tissue.
According to the news-
paper article, member-
ship in clown organiza-
tions is dropping due to
declining interest by
those who dont nd
professional clowning
cool enough, death of
the industrys elderly
statesmen without fresh
blood to ll their over-
sized shoes and more-
stringent employers
not willing to hire just
any Bozo for their trav-
eling show or chil-
drens birthday party. Amove toward Cirque du Soleil
style acrobats and pervasive streak of coulrophobia exac-
erbated by John Wayne Gacy and that scene in
Poltergeist probably doesnt help much, either.
The World Clown Association alone reported that mem-
bership has dropped about 1,000 people to 2,500 since
2004.
The Ringing Brothers Clown College in Florida is also
not goong around and takes its future clowns very seri-
ously. This Harvard of clowndom only picked 14 new stu-
dents out of 531 applicants. This job isnt something any
trained monkey could do.
But perhaps its time to look at ways to bolster the
clown ranks before the country becomes overrun with
mimes, harlequins, balloon artists and those silvery
painted people busting out robot moves for spare change.
Think clown afrmative action. Think federal grants to
establish more clown vocational training programs.
Think breeding programs ClownMatch.com, anyone?
to spur new generations born with the desire to tumble
and juggle in their blood. Nothing screams romance like a
bouquet of water-squirting owers on the rst date and a
pie in the face for dessert.
Think H-1 B visas for non-American performers coming
overseas to ll the national void. Some international
clown-wannabes not willing to jump through all the
bureaucratic hoops might just even sneak over the border
willing to accept this type of labor at which the majority
of Americans are obviously turning up a bulbous red nose.
If, however, these attempts to bolster the clown ranks
dont work, those brave remaining few must take steps to
make sure they become indispensable. They can moon-
light as fashion consultants for the Norwegian mens
Olympic curling team. Maybe they get themselves on
some type of federal endangered species list. This works
on two levels circus folk are suddenly on the other side
of PETAs crosshairs and the anti-development contin-
gents hoping to stall projects can hire the clowns to be
found living indigenously on the controversial land
parcels.
Or, they can repurpose their eets of now-pitifully
roomy clown cars into Google corporate commuter shut-
tles. San Francisco residents annoyed by large private
company vehicles clogging public bus stops cant wig
out as much when the equivalent of a Mini Cooper or
Smart Car packs 22 workers inside and takes off down the
Peninsula. Honking horn optional.
As a last ditch effort, these rare entertainers can always
hang up their rufed collars and make a move into politics
although, frankly, that three-ring circus is already crowded
with clowns.

MILLBRAE
Have you ever been
entrusted to make
final arrangements
for a funeral?
Those of you
whove had this
experience know
that important decisions are required and
must be made in a timely manner. The next
of kin is many times required to search for
information about the deceased which may
not be easily accessible, and must answer
questions without the time to think things
out. Even though your Funeral Director is
trained to guide you every step of the way, it
is still best for you to be prepared with the
proper information if the need should arise.
Ask your Funeral Director what info is
needed before you meet with him/her.
Making funeral arrangements can be very
simple, or can become difficult at times if
you are not prepared. A good Funeral
Director is experienced in leading you with
the necessary requirements, and will offer
details that you may not have thought about
or previously considered as an option.
Allowing him/her to guide you will make
the arrangements go by quickly and easily.
A number of items should be considered
in preparation for the future:
1. Talk to your loved ones about the
inevitable. Give them an indication on what
your wishes are regarding the type of funeral
you want, burial or cremation, etc., and ask
them their feelings about plans for their own
funeral. This is only conversation, but it is
an important topic which will help break the
ice and prevent any type of confusion when
the time comes.
2. Talk to your Funeral Director. Write
down a list of questions and make a phone
call to your Funeral Director asking how to
be prepared. He/she will gladly provide
detailed information and can mail this
information to you for your reference.
Asking questions doesnt cost anything and
will help you with being organized.
3. Make an appointment and Pre-plan a
Funeral. Many more people are following
through with this step by making Pre-Need
Arrangements. Completing arrangements
ahead of time makes this process more

Accentuating The Positive

RANCHO MIRAGE The costly $787
billion spending bill that President Barack
Obama signed into law soon after taking
office boosted the economy and helped
avoid another Great Depression, the White
House said in a status report on Mondays
fth anniversary of the laws enactment.
Republican leaders in Congress took note
of the anniversary, too, but argued that the
bill spent too much for too little in return.
White House economic adviser Jason
Furman said the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act made other targeted
investments that will pay dividends for
years to come.
By itself, the stimulus bill saved or creat-
ed an average of 1.6 million jobs a year for
four years through the end of 2012, Furman
said in a White House blog post.
Half of the total scal support for the
economy, or about $689 billion, from the
recovery act and subsequent measures was in
the form of tax cuts directed mostly at fami-
lies. The remainder was spent on such
things as rebuilding roads and bridges, pre-
venting teacher layoffs and providing tem-
porary help for people who lost their jobs
or needed other assistance because of the
poor economy.
The report said recovery act spending will
have a positive effect on long-run growth,
boost the economys potential output and
ultimately offset much of the laws initial
cost.
More than 40,000 miles of roads and
more than 2,700 bridges have been upgrad-
ed, nearly 700 drinking water systems serv-
ing more than 48 million people have been
brought into compliance with federal clean
water standards and high-speed Internet was
introduced to about 20,000 community
institutions.
While these gures are substantial, they
still nevertheless understate the full magni-
tude of the administrations response to the
crisis, Furman wrote.
He noted that the report focused solely on
the effects of scal legislation. It did not
evaluate other administration policies that
aided the recovery, such as stabilizing the
nancial system, rescuing the auto industry
and supporting the housing sector.
Republicans were in less of a mood to cel-
ebrate.
The stimulus has turned out to be a clas-
sic case of big promises and big spending
with little results, House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a written state-
ment. Five years and hundreds of billions
of dollars later, millions of families are still
asking Where are the jobs?
Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky., argued that Obama could
put the nations nances on a more solid
footing and create jobs by taking steps to
roll back regulations and nally approve
the Keystone XL pipeline project from
Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
Five years later, the stimulus is no suc-
cess to celebrate, said McConnell. It is a
tragedy to lament.
Furman said the economy is undoubtedly
in a stronger position because it has grown
for 11 straight months, although not at a
pace that would be considered robust.
Businesses have also added 8.5 million
jobs since early 2010. Obama initially sold
the stimulus as an investment that would
produce a dramatic decrease in unemploy-
ment that ultimately did not materialize.
Unemployment remains high, at 6.6 per-
cent in January, though it has fallen consid-
erably since reaching double-digit highs
early in Obamas administration. Some of
the decline, however, is due to people drop-
ping out of the workforce.
White House: Stimulus bill was good for economy

WASHINGTON The days when political
campaigns would try to make inroads with
demographic groups such as soccer moms or
white working-class voters are gone. Now,
the operatives are targeting specic individ-
uals.
And, in some places, they can reach those
individuals directly through their televi-
sions.
Welcome to Addressable TV, an emerging
technology that allows advertisers Senate
hopefuls and insurance companies alike
to pay some broadcasters to pinpoint specif-
ic homes.
Advertisers have long bought ads knowing
that only a fraction of the audience was like-
ly to respond to them. Allowing campaigns
political or not to nely hone their TV
pitches to individuals could let them more
efciently spend their advertising dollars.
With a traditional TV buy you can end up
paying for a lot of eyeballs you dont care
about, said Chauncey McLean, chief operat-
ing ofcer of the Analytics Media Group, an
ad and data rm. Addressable TVis a power-
ful tool for those that are equipped to use it.
If you know who you want to talk to and what
you want to say, you can be much more pre-
cise.
Data geeks look at everything from voting
histories to demographics, magazine sub-
scriptions to credit scores, all in the hopes
of identifying their target audience. The
advertiser then hands over a list of targets
and, without the viewer necessarily realizing
it, the ads pop on when viewers sit down to
watch a program if their broadcaster has the
technology.
This is the power of a 30-second televi-
sion commercial with the precision of a
piece of direct mail targeted to the individual
household level, said Paul Guyardo, chief
revenue ofcer at DirecTV. Never before
have advertisers had that level of precision
when it came to a 30-second commercial.
The level of precision on televisions has
long been a dream for political campaigns,
which are decided by relatively small groups
of voters. President Barack Obamas cam-
paign in 2012 experimented with it on a
small scale, but too few homes were in broad-
casting systems equipped to handle house-
by-house decisions.
Next up: TV ads just for you, dear voter

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
In a very real sense, Jim Fregosi
set the standard for athletic excel-
lence at Serra High School.
He represented a bridge between
the all-boys Catholic schools
formative years and a brave, new
world that lay just down the road.
Fregosi, who died last Friday in
Miami at age 71 after a series of
strokes, was Serras rst, true big-
time sports prospect, a gifted kid
who was wooed
by both college
f o o t b a l l
recruiters and
Major League
Baseball scouts
and would even-
tually wind up
front and center
on Americas
p r o f e s s i o n a l
sports stage.
Fregosi wasnt just a two-sport
gem; he was a four-sport phenom-
enon as a prep athlete. In addition
to football and baseball, he was a
state-caliber track and eld star as
well as a tough, physical basket-
ball point guard.
In his senior year at Serra (he
graduated in 1959), he was an all-
Catholic Athletic League per-
former in football, baseball and
basketball and long-jumped 23-8
which, at that time, was the best
mark in Northern California.
Fregosi was the genuine article,
the real deal, a natural who went
effortlessly from sport to sport.
He made high school athletics
look like a walk in the park. For
him, maybe it was.
Nick Carboni, a teammate of
Fregosis in both football and
track and eld, has recalled that
his cohort didnt practice much.
He just played sports all year,
Carboni said in an interview sev-
eral years ago. Whatever the sea-
son, thats what he played.
When Fregosi entered Serra as a
freshman in the fall of 1955, the
school was beginning a fresh
chapter; it had moved to a new
campus on West 20th Avenue,
about a mile south of its original
location at the corner of Crystal
Springs Road and Alameda de las
Pulgas.

Breaking
down the
tourney
T
he Peninsula Athletic
League boys and girls
basketball tournaments
get begin Wednesday and a
champion will be crowned
Saturday night.
First-round games will played
at the home of the higher seeds,
while the seminals
(Wednesday) and the champi-
onship games are at Capuchino.
On the boys side, it appears
Burlingame, the No. 1 team in
the PAL South, and Half Moon
Bay, the top
seed from the
North, are on
a collision
course for the
nals.
Considering
both teams
are a com-
bined 24-0 in
PAL play,
anything
less than a
meeting in
the title game would be consid-
ered a major upset.
But both need to focus on the
task at hand to guarantee a spot
in the nals. Half Moon Bay
opens against Sequoia (8-4 PAL,
No. 4 South), while Burlingame
takes on Westmoor (7-5 PAL,
No. 4 North). Half Moon Bay
thumped the Rams twice during
the regular season, while
Burlingame hammered Sequoia
in their only meeting, so both
the Cougars and Panthers should
easily advance to the seminals.
Thats when things could get a
little dicey. Assuming the
chalk the higher seeds
advance, Half Moon Bay should
prepare for a meeting with Mills
(No. 2 South), while Aragon
(No. 3 South) could be
Burlingames opponent. Mills
has played Burlingame tough in
a pair of league games this sea-
son and Burlingame needed a
huge performance from Frankie
Ferrari to beat the Dons in over-
time earlier this year. That
should mean both Half Moon
Bay and Burlingame will have
to work to make it into the title
game.
Assuming both squads get
there, there could be a revenge
factor working for the Panthers.

There arent many girls soccer
programs in San Mateo County
with a future brighter than Crystal
Springs Uplands Schools.
With only three seniors and no
juniors on this years varsity
squad, sure the Gryphons have hit
a bump in the road here and there,
but, with eight freshmen and three
sophomores, CSUS light at the
end of the tunnel is a reaching
exploding star status.
And Megan Duncanson is a huge
reason why.
Shes absolutely the epitome of
what a coach wants in a striker,
said CSUS head coach Mike
Flynn, whos seen a fair share of
great scorers in his time on the
Peninsula. Shes got tremendous
speed. Its something you cant
teach when someone has that kind
of speed. That, coupled with the
fact that she just has a knack for
the goal. Shes very relentless.
Duncanson is the face of the lat-
est wave of young talent to call
Crystal Springs home. Always a
hot bed for great offensive talent,
Duncanson has taken the Gryphon
planet by storm in 2014 shes
the teams second-leading scorer
behind arguably one of the best
CSUS players of all time in
Natasha Thornton-Clark. And
when Duncansons career is all
said and done, there is no reason to
believe, with her 37 points this
season, that she wont be part of
that conversation as well.
If shes got the ball, shes very
difcult to knock off, Flynn said.
Shes strong on the ball. And you
put that with speed and a knack for
scoring and fact that we kind of
give her free rein I always use
the Wayne Gretzky phrase, you
miss 100 percent of the shots you
dont take. You get an opportuni-
t y, take it. Im not going to com-
plain. And shes bought into it.
Its coming to fruition for her.
No week on the CSUS schedule
exemplified what Duncanson is
capable of than lasts when the
freshman scored the rst hat trick
of her career in a 5-0 win over
Eastside Prep. She then followed
that with a goal and an assist in a
4-1 win over Mercy-Burlingame.
For her efforts, Duncanson is the
Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
Flynn said that in just 15 games
this season, Duncanson has
proven herself to be the kind of
player he hated to play against
during his playing days as a
defender.
I hated playing against a player
like this because shes just relent-
less. Theyre going to make you
pay, Flynn said. If they lose the
ball and you have it, shes going
to knock you down, shes going to
let you know to get rid of the ball,
dont hold it for more than two
seconds because Im coming after
it, Im going to get it. And she
quite often stripes the defender of
the ball.
Its Duncansons approach to
defense as her best offense that has
been her bread and butter,
according to Flynn. The numbers
back his statement as Duncanson
is second on the team with 5.2
steals per game. Its the old
Brazilian way of playing where
the ball is your most prized pos-
session. Shes want it back. Youre
not taking that from me, Flynn
said.
CSUS may be young, but if
theres one thing Duncanson and
the rest of the her squad has
proven, its that theyre hunger for
success is denite senior-esque.
Were looking forward to the
future at Crystal Springs, Flynn
said. The future is very, very
bright for Crystal.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Mike Morse is
healthy again, and he thinks hes ready to
return to the form that made him one of the
top hitters in the American League in 2011.
All it took was a little
guidance from friends.
Morse agreed to a one-
year contract with San
Francisco in December
and is expected to play
left eld. He said Monday
he has no restrictions
following surgery to
shave a bone spur in his
left wrist last October, a
condition that was dis-
covered in a visit to orthopedic surgeon
Richard Berger at the Mayo Clinic.
Former teammate Jayson Werth, who had
a wrist operation done by Berger, directed
Morse to the Mayo Clinic. Mark DeRosa,
another former teammate, directed Morse to
the Giants.
The 31-year-old Morse played most of
last year with the pain in his wrist, think-
ing it was just part of the routine bumps and
bruises.
I thought, Well, this is it, he said. It
was just something I had to play with.
He hit 11 home runs through May for the
Seattle Mariners and then hit just two more
the rest of the way, and none with the
Baltimore Orioles, who acquired him in a
deal at the end of August.
DeRosa would like to touch my arm and
say Does it hurt here? Morse said. Yeah,
it hurts there. Then hed walk away like it
was pretty bad.
Werth, who had his surgery with Berger in
2006, went on to help the Philadelphia
Phillies win a World Series title two years
later.
He was really high on Dr. Berger, Morse
said. My wrist hurt and no one could nd
anything wrong with it. I decided to go to
the Mayo Clinic on my own dime.
An MRI scan was inconclusive, and
Berger decided the best course of action was
exploratory surgery to nd the problem.
The bone spur was shaved off and Morse
returned to swinging the bat about 10 days
later.
Dr. Berger is legit, Morse said. Hes
the real thing.
Now Morse is looking for the type of
numbers he had in 2011 with Washington in
his only full season, when he had 31
homers and 95 RBIs. If he can return to that
form, he could provide a big boost for San
Franciscos power-starved lineup from a
year ago.
Morse, who has a .281 career average,
also has played shortstop and rst base.
With the Giants, he replaces speedy Gregor
Blanco and will share the outfield with
Angel Pagan and Hunter Pence.
Ill catch the routine balls, Morse said.
I may not make the spectacular catch but
we have Pagan in center. He can make those
plays.
When it came time to look at free-agent
offers, Morse said DeRosa was a big reason
he chose to play in San Francisco.
He told me this was the place to play,
Morse said. He thought highly of this
place.
DeRosa played with the Giants in 2010-
11.
NOTES: Position players are scheduled to
report Tuesday. ... Hard throwing LHPEdwin
Escobar is expected to start the season at
Triple A, after making 10 starts in Double A
a year ago. We want him starting for now,
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Hes
ahead of where he was last year at this time.
He has a better look about him. ... Bochy
said theres an emphasis on pitchers eld-
ing drills earlier this year. It was a problem
last season. I dont think we executed as
well as we should have, he said. Were
spending more time on it and getting peo-
ple focused.

PHOENIX Despite getting hurt late last
season, A.J. Grifn has already shown he
can handle a heavy workload for the
Oakland Athletics.
Now, he wants to keep pitching deep into
October.
The 26-year-old right-hander threw 200
innings in 2013, his rst
full season in the majors.
He went 14-10 with a
3.83 ERAand 1.13 WHIP
in 32 starts as Oakland
won its second straight
AL West title.
Griffin was durable
until late in the season,
when he was unable to
pitch in the playoffs
against Detroit due to
tendinitis in his right elbow. Had the As
reached the AL championship series, he
thinks he would have recovered sufciently
to be added to the active roster.
We were really close. I thought for sure
we were going to get there, Grifn said.
This year, Grifn again has a rm grip on
a spot in manager Bob Melvins rotation.
He threw his second bullpen of the spring
Monday and said he feels no discomfort.
I felt really good today. Im optimistic,
said Grifn, a 13th-round draft pick by the
As in 2010 out of the University of San
Diego. Its a gradual buildup. You raise your
pitch count. Its a process.
He would like to reach 200 innings again.
Thats pretty much every starters goal,
to pitch as many innings as they can and
have a quality outing, he said. Last year
was pretty nice, my rst full season, to
pitch as many innings as I did. I felt fortu-
nate.
Grifn has four quality pitches: a four-
seam fastball, curve, changeup and cutter.
Im a guy who adds and subtracts, hits his
spots, pounds the zone. You want to try to
force the early contact, let your defense
work for you, he said.
But not too much contact. Grifn gave up
36 home runs last season, tops in the
majors.
Theres always room for improvement,
things you can work on, he said.
Everybody has stuff they can work on,
except for maybe Clayton Kershaw. His
numbers were ridiculous.
The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Grifn grew up
in San Diego and has long, surfer-type
locks but doesnt spend much time at the
beach. He does listen to some modern beach
culture rock bands like Slightly Stoopid,
and plays the guitar.
But when hes on the mound, he is more
intense.
Ive worked a lot on staying focused, not
letting the game get to me, he said.
Melvin likes Grifns attitude and thinks
the right-hander has the potential to pile up
innings for his staff.
Hes looked that way since hes been
here, Melvin said. He has that mindset of,
I want to be the only guy with the ball
today.
NOTES: Oakland claimed LHP Joe Savery
off waivers from Philadelphia. To make
room on the 40-man roster, the As moved
LHP Eric OFlaherty to the 60-day disabled
list. The 28-year-old Savery was 2-0 with a
3.15 ERAand two saves in 18 relief appear-
ances for the Phillies last season. ... The As
tweaked their roster this offseason, and
Melvin noticed other teams in the AL West
have added signicant pieces in an effort to
keep up. They have tried to match what we
do, he said. First it was Albert Pujols and
then Josh Hamilton (signed by the Angels).
Now its Robinson Cano (Mariners). ...
The As use yoga exercises to stretch each
day during the spring. A lot of guys have
beneted from it. Hopefully, they stay loose
and develop good habits, Melvin said.

Costas returns to Olympic coverage
SOCHI, Russia Bob Costas returned as
host for NBCs prime-time Olympic cover-
age Monday night, if still not exactly clear-
eyed, at least with a sharpened sense of
respect for the colleagues and crew who cov-
ered for him during a six-day absence.
Costas joked at the shows opening that
he was sitting in for Matt Lauer and
Meredith Vieira, who had subbed for him
while he was out with an eye infection. He
thanked the two, and viewers for expressing
concern.
My apologies to everyone for the
unavoidable but uncomfortable circum-
stance of a broadcasters ill-timed afiction
getting in the way, even for just a moment,
from what we all came here for, Costas said.
Hours before his return, he told The
Associated Press that his infection has to
run its course of 2-to-3 weeks, the entire
Olympics. Its the all-time perfect bad tim-
ing, but what can you do? Its a curve ball
and youve got to go with it, Costas chuck-
led during an interview, even though I
couldnt spot the rotation on a curve ball
right now.
The broadcaster who began his Olympic
work as a late-night host at the 1988 Seoul
Games looked relaxed at the NBC compound
in a navy polo shirt and cardigan sweater.
Traces of his bout with viral conjunctivitis
were still visible the infection began in
his left eye and spread quickly to the right
and both are still reddened.

Burlingame one of its three losses of the
season in the nals of the Burlingame
Lions Club tournament, 66-53. In that
game Dec. 13, HMB shooting guard Cory
Cilia went off, scoring a season-high 33
points. More importantly, center Rico
Nuo outplayed his counterpart Nick Loew,
outscoring him 18 to 7.
Ferrari, who was battling a back/hip
injury, was held to just 16 points, a season
low.
Since then, both Ferrari and Loew have
picked up their games.
Again, assuming both Burlingame and
Half Moon Bay play for the PAL champi-
onship, the winner should get the nod for
the Central Coast Section Open Division
a goal both teams have had since the
beginning of the season.
While the boys tournament has a pair of
clear-cut favorites, the girls side appears a
lot more wide open. For the second year in
a row, Westmoor ran the table in PAL North
Division play and is now 22-0 in PAL play
the last two years. The Rams are the No. 1
seed in the North. Carlmont, led by Anisah
Smith, is the No. 1 team from the South.
Westmoor, however, could have a battle
on its hands in the rst round with Menlo-
Atherton, the No. 4 seed from the South.
The Bears have one of the best inside-out-
side tandems in freshman center Ofa Slli
and point guard Emma Heath. If both are on
top of their game, M-Ais capable of beat-
ing anyone in the tournament.
Carlmont opens against Half Moon Bay
and while on paper it looks like a mis-
match, the Scots go as Smith goes. She is
the PALs leading scorer, but if she has an
off night, the Scots are imminently beat-
able.
On top of that, Mills (No. 2 South) and
Hillsdale (No. 3 South) have both proven
to be tough matchups and it wouldnt be
surprising to see either one of the win two
games in a row to advance to the champi-
onship game.
Granted, there is a lot of assuming on my
part in breaking down the tournament, but
thats why I get paid the big bucks to know
these things.

If you needed any more evidence that soc-
cer is the toughest sport to handicap, look
no further than the Serra soccer team. The
Padres, which nished second in the West
Catholic Athletic League regular-season
standings with just one loss, were stunned
in the rst round of the WCAL tournament
Saturday.
The Padres were the No. 2 team in the
bracket and faced No. 7 Valley Christian in
the rst round. Serra outscored the Warriors
8-1 in two regular-season games, beating
them 6-0 in the rst round, but holding on
for a 2-1 win in the second meeting.
Saturday, the teams nished regulation
and 20 minutes of overtime tied at 2,
before the Warriors pulled off the upset 6-5
in penalty kicks.
The loss shouldnt affect the Padres seed-
ing too much when the CCS brackets are
announced this weekend. They should still
get a top-5 seed. But it also shows Serra
or any other team for that matter cant
overlook an opponent.

The old Serra site was small and cramped;
its football eld was about 80 yards long
and basically dirt; the gymnasium was tiny
and inadequate for actual ballgames.
The new school, which could hold twice
as many students as the previous site, was a
sea change. Serra teams could play at home.
Fregosis class was the rst to go through it
all four years.
The athletic program grew apace. Fregosi
was in the vanguard. A full year younger
than his class (he graduated at 17), he was a
sporting prodigy, earning a staggering 11
varsity letters during his time at Serra.
During Fregosis tenure on the campus,
the CAL was expanding. It included schools
in the East Bay, Marin County and Santa
Clara County. Travel could be daunting.
In less than a decade after Fregosi depart-
ed from Serra for bigger things, the CAL
would be carved up into a new West Catholic
Athletic League and a CAL for the East Bay
only.
Marin Catholic High School became part
of a public school league in Marin County
and the East Bay version of the CAL has
been disbanded and its members scattered
throughout a variety of leagues.
Once Fregosi graduated, Serra began to
churn out a steady procession of eye-catch-
ing sports stars, including eight more
Major League Baseball players.
Among the notable names, in no particu-
lar order, are: Tim Cullen, Danny Frisella,
Jesse Freitas Jr., Lynn Swann, Tom Scott,
John Caselli, Jim Freitas, Tom McBreen,
Norm Angelini, Tom Brady, David

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOCHI, Russia Through 17 years of gru-
eling practices, of defeats and victories,
Meryl Davis and Charlie White insist
theyve never considered parting ways.
Aperfect pairing, they were nearly awless
at the Sochi Olympics, and on Monday they
became the rst Americans to win an ice
dance gold medal.
The closest we came to breaking up, I
cant pinpoint one because there hasnt been
one, Davis, 27, said. Certainly there have
been struggles. It hasnt been easy to get
where we are. ... Its a partnership which I
couldnt have asked for more.
Charlie and I are very different. We used
those difference to balance it out. There has
never been a moment of doubt.
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada, the
2010 champions, took silver, while bronze
went to Russias Elena Ilinykh and Nikita
Katsalapov.
Davis and White won silver in Vancouver,
but in the four years since they have overtak-
en the Canadians, their training partners in
Detroit under Russian coach Marina Zoueva.
The reigning world champs scored 116.63
points in the free dance to finish with
195.52, 4.53 ahead of Virtue and Moir.
No athletes like it to sit in this position,
Moir said. We came here to win the compe-
tition. But its easier when we see them and
know how hard these guys work.
When their program to Sheherazade
ended with White on a knee, Davis rested her
head on his back in exhausted elation. The
two started skating together in 1997 in
Michigan, and on the biggest day of their
career, they performed just as they had visu-
alized it.
That in itself justied 17 years of hard
work, White, 26, said.
The music swelling over the nal minute of
the program, their feet were in nonstop
motion, yet every step was intricately chore-
ographed. Their lifts were a blur as White
spun across the ice with Davis held aloft,
their movements and expressions still erce
despite the draining demands of the perform-
ance.

Belarus has big
day at Sochi Olympics
SOCHI, Russia It was Belarus
day Monday at the Sochi
Olympics.
A Belarussian woman made
Olympic history by becoming the
first female ever to win three
biathlon titles at the same games,
and one of her teammates captured
the mens freestyle skiing aerials
competition to complete a gold-
medal sweep on the event.
Anton Kushnir nailed a near-per-
fect landing after a back double
full-full-double full jump ve
twists packed into three head-
over-heels ips while soaring 50
feet off the ramp and into the night
sky.
It was the best jump Ive ever
witnessed in person, said 18-
year-old American Mac
Bohonnon, who nished fth.
Darya Domracheva won her third
biathlon title when she left a eld
of elite racers far behind to capture
gold in the 12.5-kilometer mass
start. As she neared the nish line,
she waved her right pole above her
head in celebration.
Maybe its strange, but I dont
feel like Ive done something spe-
cial, Domracheva said. I just
tried to enjoy myself and I did my
race with a laugh. But for sure, its
amazing.
The race was in doubt earlier as
dense fog forced postponement of
the mens mass start race and the
mens snowboardcross competi-
tion. It lifted just in time for the
womens race and Domrachevas
history-making performance.
Indoors, American pair Meryl
Davis and Charlie White won the
gold in gure skatings ice dance,
nishing just ahead of longtime
training partners and rivals Tessa
Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada. It
was the rst Olympic title in the
event for the United states.
On Day 11 at the Sochi
Olympics, Russia won the two-
man bobsled for its fifth gold
medal of the games; the U.S. and
Canada advanced to the champi-
onship game of the womens ice
hockey tournament; and Germany
won the mens team ski jumping
gold, raising its games-leading
total to eight.

BIATHLON: Domracheva won


the pursuit and individual biathlon
races last week. She took the lead
for the rst time after four minutes
and stayed ahead of the eld after
the first shooting. Gabriela
Soukalova of the Czech Republic
took silver and Tiril Eckhoff of
Norway bronze.

BOBSLED: Russias winning


two-man bobsled had Alexander
Zubkov driving and Alexey
Voevoda as the brakeman. The
Swiss team of Beat Hefti and Alex
Baumann took silver, and the U.S.
bronze, with Steven Holcomb
driving and Steven Langton as
brakeman. It was the rst two-man
bobsled medal for the U.S. in more
than a half century.

FREESTYLE SKIING: Alexei


Grishin won Belarus first ever
gold medal in Vancouver four years
ago also in the mens aerials.
Afterwards, he got his picture on a
stamp back home. On Monday, he
failed to qualify in the aerials.
Belarus now has five golds in
Sochi. Australias David Morris
nished 24 points behind Kushnir
to win silver; Chinas Jia
Zongyang took the bronze.

FIGURE SKATING: Davis and


White began skating together in
1997, and on the biggest day of
their career, they were nearly aw-
less. The American pair won the
silver in Vancouver in 2010, while
their Canadian rivals won the
gold. The two pairs train together
in Detroit and are both coached by
Marina Zoueva.

SKI JUMPING: Germanys win


in the team event ended Austrias
winning streak. It had won gold in
the last two Olympics and hasnt
lost a team large hill event since
the 2005 world championships.
Germanys team included Andreas
Wank, Marinus Kraus, Andres
Wellinger and Severin Freund.
Austria took silver and Japan won
the bronze.

ICE HOCKEY: Megan Bozek and


Brianna Decker each had a goal and
two assists to help the United
States beat Sweden 6-1. The U.S.
has medaled in every Winter
Games since womens hockey was
added in 1998.

five continents and was ranked second in
Fortune magazines list of fastest growing
companies in 2012, according to its web-
site.
Foster City officials have been support-
ive of its continuing proposal to expand
the area covered by the Gilead Sciences
Corporate Master Plan from 40 acres to
72.59 acres to allow for 5,000 potential
new employees.
The City Council approved the environ-
mental impact report for the plan in
October. Specific portions of the project
are being channeled through the citys
Community Development Department, the
most recent of which is for a 10-story
office building.
In 2003, Gilead began focusing on
addressing those with limited access to
HIV/AIDS treatments, Samuel said.
Recognizing that the greatest need for
HIV treatment is in the least-developed
parts of the world, the company has put in
place innovative programs and partner-
ships to expand global access to its anti-
retroviral therapies, Samuel said.
The World Health Organization estimates
9.7 million people in low- and middle-
income countries receive antiretroviral
therapies. Today, approximately 4.7 mil-
lion of those are receiving Gilead medica-
tions, Samuel said. Yet its a growing epi-
demic and WHO estimates 34 million peo-
ple across the world are living with HIV.
Gilead missions to expand its access pro-
grams for those with limited resources by
sharing its processes to international
licensing partners, Samuel said.
The companys approach to access in
the developing world includes tiered pric-
ing for branded medicines, voluntary
generic licenses and technology transfers,
regional business partners, product regis-
trations and medical education, Samuel
said. Generic licensing partners play a
major role in expanding treatment in devel-
oping countries. Today, 96 percent of
Gilead HIVtherapy used in low- and middle-
income countries is produced and sold by
licensing partners, Samuel said.
Licensees are provided with Gileads
manufacturing process and subsequently
earn approval from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration or from WHO, Samuel said.
This model has allowed licensed manufac-
turers to lower the costs of certain medica-
tion by 80 percent, according to its site.
Gilead contracts with 70 manufactures in
other countries and most of Gileads gener-
ic HIV/AIDS medications are produced by
companies in India, said Michele Rest,
spokeswoman for Gilead.
Gilead generally focuses on other chron-
ic, life-threatening diseases that 10 to 20
years ago were a death sentence. It works to
address the growing population suffering
from Hepatitis B and C and has begun to
expand oncology research as well, Rest
said.
Many of Gileads employees are drawn by
the companys ethics and global influence,
Rest said.
There are a lot of very passionate peo-
ple that work here, Rest said. Meeting
unmet medical needs, which is nice to see
and I think a lot of people want to be a part
of.
The drug discovery process often begins
in a biology lab where researchers may
start reviewing a million different chemi-
cal entities from which they may narrow it
down to one with which to work, said
Guofeng Cheng, senior research scientist
at Gilead.
The process is time consuming and
experiments could last from a few hours to
more than a year, Cheng said. But with
innovative equipment, a single person can
now quickly perform procedures that would
otherwise take days, Cheng said. The
advanced machinery in Gilead labs allows
for more accurate and consistent high vol-
ume performances, Cheng said.
Theres a high emphasis on doing
things well, doing things quickly and
doing things safely, said Jeromy Cottell,
a research scientist at one of Gileads four
medicinal chemistry labs.
He was drawn to work at Gilead based on
the companys leadership, Cottell said.
A lot of [pharmaceutical] companies
have non-scientists running the company.
It makes it more of a business with a focus
on science. With [Gileads] scientist lead-
ership, it makes it clear Gilead has a really
good focus on core sciences, Cottell said.
Gileads top executives all have doctor-
ates in chemistry and its Chief Executive
Officer Dr. John C. Marin was ranked by
the Harvard Business Review as one of the
top performing CEOs worldwide, according
to its site.
Gilead is currently working with Foster
Citys planning department for its propos-
al to double its allowable building space
from 1,200,480 square feet to a total of
2,500,600 square feet and recently com-
pleted a four-story laboratory.
Growing in Foster City will assist Gilead
in furthering its mission to address some of
the worlds deadliest diseases, Samuel said.
Gilead makes it a priority to increase
access to its medicines for people who can
benefit from them, Samuel said, regard-
less of where they live or their ability to
pay.

Once she leaves office, Tissier said her
successor should certainly choose
appointees from the district.
Although the board was willing to
grandfather in members where necessary,
Groom said her appointee to the Measure A
oversight committee was replaced prior to
its first meeting because he now sits in
Supervisor Don Horsleys district.
At last Tuesdays meeting, the Board of
Supervisors continued its residency
cleanup by waiving the requirement for
county Planning Commissioner Steven
Dworetsky who joined in 2004 as a mem-
ber of District Five Tissiers District
but now resides in District One, that of
Board President Dave Pine.
In a memo to the supervisors, County
Counsel John Beiers noted that
Dworetskys home is in an area as geo-
graphically near as practical to District
Five which is otherwise left without an
appointee on the Planning Commission.
His term expires in 2017, the same as
Tissiers .
Beiers had county staff review all of the
boards and commissions to see which
required residency in the district of the
appointing supervisor shortly after the
Board of Supervisors finalized the new
lines in October 2013.
It is kind of a practical problem,
Beiers said at the board meeting.
Beiers later said the waivers are a way to
get ahead of any issues and offer future
flexibility if somebody moves or the dis-
trict lines get changed.
The new supervisorial districts are a
result of a voter-approved charter change
moving from at-large to district elections.
The ballot measure was spurred largely by
a civil rights lawsuit against the county
resolved by both sides after the election.
The new map, known as the Community
Unit B plan, split four cities Belmont,
Menlo Park, San Bruno and South San
Francisco and kept District Five as a
majority-minority Asian-American dis-
trict. The county also cleaned up the lines
as needed to remove so-called sliver
precincts, which are areas too small to jus-
tify physical polling places. The lines
will stand for the next 10 years until the
new census and will govern this years two
supervisor elections in districts two and
three.

very well scientically researched. People
that come into this course ll out a medical
symptoms checklist; on average theres a
decrease of symptoms by 35-40 percent
nationally (after taking the class).
Mindfulness-based stress reduction is a
behavioral medicine program created at the
University of Massachusetts that uses the
psychological concept of mindfulness to
help people cope better and be more at ease.
Suzanne Buckley, director of Mercy
Center, said Schindlers class is part of the
centers program that hosts groups of non-
prots that use space for meetings and train-
ings.
Cassie wanted to bring her group here
and while its not a Mercy Center program, I
really want to support her because this con-
tributes to the wellness of our community,
Buckley said. At Mercy, we are really
involved in supporting the community in
health and wellness. Everybody has stress
in their lives and stress is one of the key
contributors to poor health, so many peo-
ple out there could really benet from her
teaching.
The class is open to everyone, Schindler
said. Attendees are sometimes referred by
physicians, are people under stress, have
chronic conditions or are in pain. She said
the class is a means of gaining tools to
strengthen coping capabilities.
Schindler began meditating at 17. In light
of her multiple sclerosis, she took a teacher
training class.
I was going to do everything in my
power to heal, she said. I live very well in
light of this disease because I actually prac-
tice what I preach. I feel strongly people can
have an incredible impact on their own state
by simply resting the mind and body.
Marisa Dumpis took Schindlers mindful-
ness-based stress reduction class in
November 2012 while dealing with the
stress of unemployment.
One big benet was total stress reduction
and [I learned] ways to manage stress, said
Dumpis, who now is an academic advisor at
San Jose State University. Its about appre-
ciating the little moments. Cassie embodies
positivity. Mindfulness and meditation can
be hard to adapt into everyday life and one
thing she teaches people is its a practice
and she doesnt expect you to sit for four
hours with no other thoughts.
Meditation does seem difcult for many,
but its a misconception to think one wont
be able to do meditation, Schindler said.
Sometimes people overlook the power they
have in of themselves to relieve stress and
change the circumstances of their life, she
said.
When people hear the word meditation,
they automatically think of doing some-
thing too difficult, like clearing their
minds, she said. People in this culture
cant slow down and give their nervous sys-
tems a rest and a break. People think its too
simple and were such a complicated world
that sometimes simplicity is overlooked.
Schindler said its very difcult for people
to dedicate themselves to a practice on their
own and thats why the structure of class so
important.
Its eight weeks and speaks to each per-
sons own patterns of behavior, she said.
Some are disempowering. At home, you
dont dig deep to nd behaviors that might
be causing more stress. I teach to be more
resilient in the face of daily stressers and
include discipline, structure, information
and the practice. It impacts lives in a very
phenomenal way.
People can receive mindfulness-based
stress reduction training in more than 500
locations. The Mercy Center class will be
$295 per person. Classes run from 5:30-
7:30 p.m. and after the sixth week, there is
a six-hour all-day session. The maximum
number of students is 32 people for each
eight-week class. Schindler plans to start
with one class at the center, but if the
response is overwhelming, then shell open
another session to run concurrently.
The center is located at 2300 Adeline
Drive in Burlingame. For more information

CHICAGO For many older Americans
who lost jobs during the recession, the
quest for health care has been one obstacle
after another. Theyre unwanted by employ-
ers, rejected by insurers, struggling to
cover rising medical costs and praying to
reach Medicare age before a health crisis.
These luckless people, most in their 50s
and 60s, have emerged this month as early
winners under the nations new health insur-
ance system. Along with their peers who are
self-employed or whose jobs do not offer
insurance, they have been signing up for
coverage in large numbers, submitting new-
patient forms at doctors ofces and lling
prescriptions at pharmacies.
I just cried I was so relieved, said
Maureen Grey, a 58-year-old Chicagoan
who nally saw a doctor this month after a
fall in September left her in constant pain.
Laid off twice from full-time jobs in the past
ve years, she saw her income drop from
$60,000 to $17,800 a year. Now doing
temp work, she was uninsured for 18
months before she chose a marketplace
plan for $68 a month.
Americans ages 55 to 64 make up 31 per-
cent of new enrollees in the new health
insurance marketplaces, the largest seg-
ment by age group, according to the federal
governments latest gures. They represent
a glimmer of success for President Barack
Obamas beleaguered law.
The Great Recession hit them hard and for
some its impact has lingered.
Aging boomers are more likely to be in
debt as they enter retirement than were pre-
vious generations, with many having pur-
chased more expensive homes with smaller
down payments, said economist Olivia
Mitchell of University of Pennsylvanias
Wharton School. One in ve has unpaid
medical bills and 17 percent are underwater
with their home values. Fourteen percent
are uninsured.
As of December, 46 percent of older job-
seekers were among the long-term unem-

ployed compared with less than 25 percent
before the recession.
And those financial setbacks happened
just as their health care needs became more
acute. Americans in their mid-50s to mid-
60s are more likely to be diagnosed with
diabetes than other age groups, younger or
older, accounting for 3 in 10 of the adult
diabetes diagnoses in the United States
each year. And every year after age 50, the
rate of cancer diagnosis climbs.
The affordable coverage is an answer to
a prayer really, said Laura Ingle, a 57-
year-old Houston attorney who had been
denied coverage repeatedly because she
has sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease.
She recently had back surgery for a painful
condition thats been bothering her for
months.
One night in September, 64-year-old
Glenn Nishimura woke up with wrenching
pain that sent him to the emergency room.
It was his gallbladder. A doctor recom-
mended surgery.
Instead, Nishimura went home. A con-
sultant to nonprofit groups, he was self-
employed and uninsured.
I checked myself out because I had no
idea what this was going to cost, the
Little Rock, Ark., man said. They didnt
want me to go, but they didnt stop me.
Nishimura lost his coverage after leav-
ing a full-time position with benefits in
2007, thinking he could land another
good job. The recession ruined that plan.
After COBRA coverage expired, he was
denied coverage because of high blood
pressure and other conditions.
He made it until September without a
major illness. Asecond night of gallblad-
der pain and a chat with a doctor persuaded
him to have the surgery. After getting the
bills, he negotiated the fees down to
$12,000, which he considered a big hit,
but it could have been worse. The average
cost of a gallbladder removal in Arkansas
was listed at three times that. Nishimura
dipped into his savings to cover the bill.
In December, he chose a bronze plan on
the new insurance marketplace that costs
him $285 a month after a tax credit. The
deductible is $6,300, so he hopes he does-
nt have to use his coverage. He can get on
Medicare in April, just in time for his
annual checkup.
Now theres the peace of mind of know-
ing the limits of my obligation if I have
catastrophic health needs, he said.
Dr. Bernd Wollschlaeger said hes
noticed a recent increase in patients in
this age group at his family practice in
Miami. Lots of them have untreated chron-
ic conditions that have progressed to an
advanced stage.
Many have delayed necessary treat-
ments due to costs and expect a total and
quick workup on their first visit, he said,
adding they want referrals to specialists
and tests including colonoscopies and
mammograms.
The abundance of older patients signing
up is no surprise to the Obama administra-
tion, which conducted internal research
last year that showed the sick, active and
worried would be the most responsive to
messages urging them to seek coverage.
Signing up younger, healthier enrollees
is seen as more difficult, but crucial to
keeping future insurance rates from
increasing. The administration said those
age groups may put off enrolling until
closer to the March 31 deadline.
We have always anticipated that those
with more health needs would sign up early
on, and that young and healthy people
would wait until the end, administration
spokeswoman Joanne Peters said.
Some of the aging boomers were deter-
mined to get coverage in the marketplace,
despite repeated problems and frustration
with the federal website.
The hours spent online and over the
phone paid off for real estate agent Greg
Burke and his beautician wife, Pat. The
empty-nesters qualified for a tax credit
that will lower their monthly health
insurance premiums by nearly half.
The Burkes, from Akron, Ohio, are
among the 38 percent of marketplace
enrollees in the state between 55 and 64
years old. Hes 61 and had a knee replaced
six years ago.
They will now spend $250 a month for
health insurance, a huge savings, Greg
Burke said. Their deductibles also dropped
from $2,500 each to $750 each, meaning
they will pay less out of pocket.
In Miami, licensed practical nurse Marie
Cadet, who is 54, often works double
shifts to make ends meet for herself and
her 12-year-old daughter. She had been
paying more than $150 a month for
health insurance, with a $3,000
deductible. In effect, she paid most med-
ical costs out of her own pocket, includ-
ing about $80 a month for blood pressure
medicine.
After choosing a plan from the market-
place, Cadets monthly payment dropped
to $86 a month, with the government
kicking in $300. Her deductible fell to a
more affordable $900.
Now, Cadet said, Im not scared any-
more.

About one in six people suffer from clinical depression at some point in their lives, and most
mental health disorders start before age 24. There is currently no biological test to spot
depression.
By Maria Cheng
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON A saliva test for teenage
boys with mild symptoms of depression
could help identify those who will later
develop major depression, a new study
says.
Researchers measured the stress hor-
mone cortisol in teenage boys and found
that ones with high levels coupled with
mild depression symptoms were up to 14
times more likely to suffer clinical depres-
sion later in life than those with low or
normal cortisol levels.
The test was tried on teenage boys and
girls, but found to be most effective with
boys.
About one in six people suffer from clin-
ical depression at some point in their
lives, and most mental health disorders
start before age 24. There is currently no
biological test to spot depression.
This is the emergence of a new way of
looking at mental illness, Joe Herbert of
the University of Cambridge and one of
the study authors said at a news conference
on Monday. You dont have to rely sim-
ply on what the patient tells you, but what
you can measure inside the patient, he
said.
Herbert compared the new test to ones
done for other health problems, such as
heart disease, which evaluate things such
as cholesterol and high blood sugar to
determine a patients risk.
Herbert and colleagues at the University
of Cambridge observed more than 1,800
teenagers aged 12 to 19 and examined their
cortisol levels with saliva tests. The
researchers also collected the teens own
reports of depression symptoms and
tracked diagnoses of mental health disor-
ders in them for up to three years later.
The boys who had high cortisol levels
and mild depression symptoms were up to
14 times more likely to suffer from clini-
cal depression when compared to other
teens with normal levels, while girls with
similarly elevated cortisol levels were
only up to four times more likely to devel-
op the condition. The study was paid for by
the Wellcome Trust and the results were
published online Monday in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academies of
Science.
Experts suggested that cortisol might
affect boys and girls differently.
All hormones, including sexual hor-
mones, influence brain function and
behavior, said Dr. Carmine Pariante, a
professor of biological psychiatry at the
Institute of Psychiatry at Kings College
London. He was not linked to the study.
Pariante said the gender-specific hor-
mones androgen for males and estrogen
and progesterone for females might
react differently to cortisol and could
explain the difference in risk for teenage
boys and girls.
Pariante said the saliva test was promis-
ing and could help target psychological
help such as talk therapy for boys at risk
of developing depression. Scientists are
increasingly searching for physical mark-
ers in the body of psychiatric illnesses
instead of relying exclusively on a diagno-
sis based on a patient consultation.
This gives us a biological model to
understand mental health problems the
way we understand other medical condi-
tions, he said, comparing it to how doc-
tors might diagnose a broken leg based on
an X-ray or identify heart disease patients
based on high blood pressure or choles-
terol readings. It will help us identify
patients at risk so we can try to help them
as soon as possible.
Test could predict which teen boys get depression

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWYORK If Jimmy Fallon had
already proven he was a natural host-
ing NBCs Late Night, he left no
doubt Monday that The Toni ght
Show now ts him like a glove.
As promised during the much-pro-
moted run-up to his Tonight Show
debut, Fallon made no drastic changes
to the Late Night formula that had
served him for ve years. He remained
funny, gracious, bubbly and, above
all, comfortable presiding over a show
that was different mostly for its earlier
time slot, its classier production val-
ues and legendary brand name.
We can book people from the West
Coast?! he joked at his newfound sta-
tus.
He did pretty well with his bookings
on opening night: Will Smith and the
rock group U2.
But all that was ahead.
First, his viewers beheld his new set,
boasting burnished-wood paneling
and panoramic blue curtains.
They had seen his lmed opening
Jimmy as the New York nightcrawler
shot by director Spike Lee.
They discovered that his band, the
Roots, had grown by two from its
already husky eight pieces.
Then out he came, to thunderous
applause, and planted himself on his
mark (a four-leaf clover) to deliver his
rst monologue.
Im Jimmy Fallon, he began, and,
with a nod to past late-night turbu-
lence that most recently saw his
Tonight predecessor, Jay Leno,
make an unsought exit, he added, Ill
be your host for now.
He expressed gratitude for his new
gig, introduced his parents in the stu-
dio audience, and dispensed love in
every direction and made it sound
authentic.
He had a few Olympics jokes, one
offering sympathy to NBC sportscast-
er Bob Costas, who was sidelined from
several days of Olympics coverage
with a blinding bout of pinkeye.
You could tell he was having trou-
ble when he spent half-an-hour inter-
viewing a mop he thought was Shaun
White, Fallon cracked.
Back at his desk, he voiced what
seemed like an aside: To my buddy
who said that Id never be the host of
The Tonight Show and you know
who you are you owe me a hundred
bucks, buddy.
With that, Robert De Niro burst
through the curtain and plunked a hun-
dred dollars on Fallons desk.
But that wasnt all. In rapid succes-
sion, a parade of other celebs circled
through right behind him. They
included Joe Namath, Rudolph
Giuliani, Lindsay Lohan, Lady Gaga,
Mike Tyson, Stephen Colbert and
Sarah Jessica Parker.
Joan Rivers was also among them,
repaying her debt and making a bit
of history in the bargain: 49 years ear-
lier to the day, the veteran comedian
had made her rst appearance on The
Tonight Show Starring Johnny
Carson in that very studio, and had
not appeared on Tonight since 1987,
when she was banned by Carson after
jumping to Fox to host her own short-
lived show.
A key part of the celebratory spirit
for Fallon was the fact that, after more
than 40 years in Los Angeles, he and
NBC have brought Tonight back to
New York and Rockefeller Plaza, where
it has reclaimed Studio 6B, once the
home of Carson and, before him,
Tonight host Jack Paar.
If viewers needed visual evidence of
Tonights restored New York state of
mind, Fallon delivered it with ourish.
From the observation deck atop the
G.E Building he occupies, he intro-
duced U2, who, 70 stories aloft, per-
formed a new song, Invisible,
against a magnificent New York
cityscape at a perfect moment of dusk.
The backdrop was so beautiful you
might have sworn it was computer
generated, but it was real, as was the
bitter cold that had the musicians, and
a legion of fans gathered round, clad in
heavy winter wear.
But after a commercial break, Fallon
and his musical guests were cozy, back
in the studio, where U2, seated on the
powder-blue couch, performed an
acoustic version of their Oscar-nomi-
nated song, Ordinary Love.
First night a hit for
Tonight host Fallon

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2014
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Demanding people
are likely to get you down. Dont feel that you have to
be everything to everyone. Make a point of keeping
some time for yourself to prevent enervation.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Disagreements and
confrontations will not resolve pending issues.
Your reputation will be at risk if you argue about
unimportant matters. Let some things slide in order
to avoid alienating your peers.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Avoid uncomfortable
situations by using discretion. Although you may favor
one person over another, giving too much attention to
someone will not help you gain overall support.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others will be
impressed by your achievements if you stop
procrastinating and start acting. With persistence
and planning, you can clear your agenda for more
pleasurable activities.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Get rid of tension by
taking care of household chores or doing something
physical. You will be surprised how much more
relieved and relaxed you feel in a clean and
comfortable environment.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your social life may
need a pick-me-up. Join a service, club or organization
and meet new people. Sharing common interests will
stimulate your senses and improve your outlook.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It is never a good idea to
aunt your wealth around strangers. Be especially

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MILLBRAE PROPOSING TO ESTABLISH THE CITY OF
MILLBRAE FIRE SUPPRESSION ASSESSMENT, DE-
CLARING ITS INTENTION TO CONDUCT A PROPERTY
OWNER BALLOTING ON THE MATTER OF THIS AS-
SESSMENT AND TO LEVY ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS
COMMENCING IN FISCAL YEAR 2014/15
WHEREAS, the City Council has, by previous Resolution, ini-
tiated proceedings for the imposition of a Fire Suppression
Assessment pursuant to the provisions of Title 5, Division 1,
Part 1, Article 3.6 of the Government Code of California, be-
ginning with Section 50078 (hereinafter referred to as the
Code) that provides for the levy and collection of Fire Sup-
pression Assessments by the County of San Mateo for the
City of Millbrae to pay for the purchase, operation and main-
tenance of fire suppression equipment and the salaries and
benefit costs of firefighting personnel; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has retained Harris & Associ-
ates for the purpose of assisting with the establishment of the
assessments and to assist the City of Millbrae with the Prep-
aration of an Engineer's Report (hereafter referred to as the
Engineer's Report) in accordance with the requirements of
the California Constitution, Article XIIID.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of Millbrae relative to the City of Millbrae Fire Sup-
pression Assessment, pursuant to the Code and the Califor-
nia Constitution, Article XIIID, as follows:
1. The City Council hereby declares its intention to seek the
annual levy of the Fire Suppression Assessment pursuant to
the Code, over and including the land within the City of Mill-
brae fire service area boundaries, and to levy and collect as-
sessments on all such land to pay the costs of the following:
the purchasing of fire suppression equipment and the opera-
tion, maintenance, repair, replacement and equipping of such
equipment, and the salaries and benefit costs of firefighting
personnel.
2. The boundaries of the assessment area are located within
the boundaries of the City of Millbrae fire service area.
3. An assessment ballot proceeding is hereby called on be-
half of the City on the matter of confirming assessments for
any property within the City of Millbrae fire service area sub-
ject to a new assessment pursuant to California Constitution
Article XIIID.
The assessment ballot proceeding on the matter of authoriz-
ing the levy of the assessments, pursuant to California Con-
stitution, Article XIIID, Section 4 consists of a ballot, included
with mailed notice, distributed by first class mail to the prop-
erty owners of record subject to the proposed assessment.
Each property owner's ballot is weighted by the amount of
their proposed assessment. Each property owner may return
the ballot by mail or in person to the City of Millbrae City
Clerk not later than the conclusion of the Public Hearing on
the matter on April 22, 2014. The Public Hearing is scheduled
to begin on Tuesday, April 22, 2014, at 7:00 p.m., at the City
Council Chambers, 621 Magnolia Avenue, Millbrae, Califor-
nia. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Clerk or
her impartial designee shall tabulate the ballots to determine
if a majority protest exists. The ballots shall be weighted ac-
cording to the proportional financial obligation of each affect-
ed property. A majority protest exists if, upon the conclusion
of the hearing, weighted ballots submitted in opposition to the
assessment exceed the weighted ballots submitted in favor of
the assessment.
4. The proposed assessments and a full detailed description
of the methodologies for calculating the Assessments are
presented in the Engineer's Report, on file in the Office of the
City Clerk.
5. The City Council hereby declares its intention to conduct a
Public Hearing concerning the levy of assessments for the
City in accordance with California Constitution, Article XIIID,
Section 4(e).
The City shall give notice of the time, date and place of the
Public Hearing by posting a copy of this resolution on the offi-
cial bulletin board customarily used by the City Council for
the posting of notices and by publishing this resolution in a lo-
cal newspaper. Those properties subject to a new assess-
ment shall be mailed a notice of the Public Hearing and a
property owner ballot not less than 45 days before the date of
the Public Hearing pursuant to California Constitution, Article
XIIID. Property owners being balloted for a new assessment
must return their ballots to the City Clerk prior to the conclu-
sion of the Public Hearing, after which they will be tabulated.
At the Public Hearing, all interested persons shall be permit-
ted to present written and/or oral testimony regarding the pro-
posed assessment.
6. Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing on the estab-
lishment of the City of Millbrae Fire Suppression Assessment
will be held by the City Council on Tuesday, April 22, 2014, at
7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as feasible in the City Coun-
cil Chambers, located at 621 Magnolia Avenue, Millbrae, Cal-

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Carol V. Grener
Case Number: 124164
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Carol V. Grener. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by An-
drew S. Ichimura in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Andrew
S. Ichimura be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: March 10, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
