OBAMA DECLARES: TIME TO ACT

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The 2012 homicide rate in San
Mateo County dropped from the
previous year, with a majority of the
15 deaths occurring in East Palo
Alto, but arrests were made only in
three cases where the suspect was
discovered at the scene of the crime.
Of the others, suspects remain at
large in all but the shooting of a 15-
year-old boy by a South San
Francisco police ofcer that was
ultimately ruled
a justifiable
homicide.
The 2012 sta-
tistics are not
u n i v e r s a l l y
agreed upon;
the District
A t t o r n e y s
Office counts
15 homicides
while the Coroners Ofce lists 11.
The discrepancy is largely in part
because District Attorney Steve
Wa g s t a f f e
includes cases
of vehicular
death that are
charged as mur-
der while
Coroner Robert
Foucrault does
not. The two
also disagree
over a February
hanging in Daly City and a March
beating and stabbing in Menlo Park.
Regardless, either gure is less
than the 2011 tally of 18 and a very
far cry from San Mateo Countys
peak in 1992 when more than 60
homicides were recorded and more
than 45 were in East Palo Alto.
The city has the dubious honor of
having 2013s rst homicide a
shooting that injured one other on
Monday, Jan. 14 and seven in
2012. Menlo Park followed with
three, San Bruno had two and Daly
City, South San Francisco and
Pacica each had one.
San Mateo County got though
January without any homicides but
marked its rst Tuesday, Feb. 7
when Natisha Anderson allegedly
stabbed Charles Perry, the father of
her 4-year-old child, during an argu-
ment. Anderson called police for his
removal but told them upon arrival
he had left, according to prosecu-
tors. Several minutes later, she
called 911 again to say she acci-
dentally stabbed him, according to
prosecutors. He died at the hospital

East Palo Alto leads death count; stats vary with DAlisting 15, coroner listing 11

With covers over their shoes, a
group of kids collected near the
northwest corner of Belle Air
Elementary Schools multipurpose
room and liberally applied navy
blue paint to the walls.
Where to paint was outlined with
blue tape, which one boy explained
to the others would later be
removed. So, painting on the tape
wouldnt be a problem. The kids
were part of a larger group of vol-
unteers at the San Bruno campus
Monday. People of all ages were
helping with different projects
landscaping, painting, reshelving a
storage space. The school served as
one site where people were giving
back Monday. Nearly 200 people
from 15 different faith communities
in San Mateo County volunteered at
various locations as part of the rst
Multifaith Day of Service in honor
of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Working side by side with
Jewish, Muslim, Catholic,
Protestant, Mormon, Buddhist folks
and more, to serve the needy here

what we have in common is so
much more important than whatev-
er our differences might be, said
the Rev. Kristi Denham of the
Congregational Church of Belmont.

With a majority of the San Mateo
City Council leaning toward banning
leaf blowers outright, a special
demonstration of the common types
of the devices and leaf vacuums will
be given today.
The demonstration is open to the
public, who can then make comments
before the council makes its nal
decision on how to best regulate the
tool used commonly by gardeners.
Councilman Brandt Grotte has been
pushing for an outright ban of the
devices for months and has gained
some support from Mayor David Lim
and Councilwoman Maureen Freschet
in his quest.
Councilman Jack Matthews and
Deputy Mayor
Robert Ross had
p r e v i o u s l y
requested more
data on the health
risks of the
devices and other
i n f o r ma t i o n
before casting
their votes.
A broom,
Matthews said previously, does not
always get the job done and Ross said
the issue is bigger than just San Mateo
and that ultimately the state or federal
government should consider how the
tool should best be regulated.
At a previous study session, the
council had three options to consider:

Report: Teen had
homicidal, suicidal thoughts
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The New
Mexico teenager accused of fatally shoot-
ing his parents and three younger siblings
told authorities he was annoyed with his
mother and had been having homicidal
and suicidal thoughts, according to a prob-
able cause statement.
Nehemiah Griego, 15, remained in cus-
tody Monday on charges of murder and
child abuse resulting in death. He was
arrested following the shootings Saturday
at a home in a rural area southwest of
Albuquerque where he lived with his fam-
ily.
A Bernalillo County sheriffs detective
questioned the teen Saturday night and the
details of their conversation were spelled
out in the statement.
The teen allegedly told the detective that
he took a .22 caliber rie from his parents
closet around midnight Saturday and shot
his mother in the head while his younger
brother slept next to her.
Griego told the detective that his brother
did not believe him that their mother was
dead so he showed his mothers bloody
face to his brother and then shot him,
according to the statement.
Hes accused of then shooting his two
young sisters in their room. He retrieved
an AR-15 rie from his parents closet and
waited in a downstairs bathroom for his
father to come home. The statement said
he shot his father multiple times after he
passed the bathroom doorway.
The teen said he reloaded the guns so
he could drive to a populated area to mur-
der more people, according to the state-
ment.
His plan, the statement said, was to
shoot people at random and eventually be
killed while exchanging gunre with law
enforcement.
Zion condor found dead;
was likely lead poisoning
SALT LAKE CITY A California
condor found dead at Zion National Park
is believed to have died from lead poison-
ing after foraging on a bullet-ridden game
carcass, in another setback for the recov-
ery project on the Utah-Arizona border,
ofcials said Monday.
Separately, two condors found dead in
northern Arizona in December were con-
rmed by The Peregrine Fund to have died
of lead poisoning. The latest fatality
involved a 9-year-old female that had been
observed searching nesting cavities
together with a mate at Zion, which takes
out a breeding pair.
The condor was found dead Wednesday
near Angels Landing at Zion National
Park. Biologists were alerted to a problem
when a motion device signaled the bird
hadnt moved for much of a day, said Chris
Parish, project director for The Peregrine
Funds recovery project for an area from
Arizonas Grand Canyon to southern
Utahs Zion National Park.
The condors body was sent to a San
Diego lab for testing. Results arent
expected for a week or more.
Restoring the California condor to much
of its historic range across the Southwest
has been hampered by dozens of deaths
linked to lead from the remnants of
hunters bullet.
About half of the roughly 130 condors
released since 1996 along the Arizona-
Utah border have died or vanished,
wildlife ofcials say. For birds that have
been recovered, lead poisoning turned up
as the main cause of death, Parish said.
More condors are released ever year,
with the current population hovering at
just under 80, he said.
As scavengers, North Americas largest
land bird feasts on carcasses such as deer
and coyotes left behind by hunters.
A dozen people cited or arrested
in San Francisco after 49ers win
SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco

that nine of the 12 incidents in the citys
Mission District on Sunday involved
public drunkenness. One person was
arrested on an outstanding warrant,
another for driving under the inuence
and a third for assault with a deadly
weapon.

San Carlos is getting ready to put away the
homework, turn off the television and recon-
nect with family not to mention gear up for
a no-holds barred game of roshambo.
But this years 14th annual Week of the
Family is also injecting a little seriousness
among the fun with two speakers focused on
the increasingly common challenge of how to
juggle multiple generations under one roof.
As families nd themselves more and more
caring for aging parents while simultaneously
raising kids, the difculty can be in nding a
balance, said Jennifer Kula, this years chair
of Week of the Family.
The theme is how you can manage that
better rather than having a divide and feeling
like youre not spending enough time with
either, Kula said.
The talk at the library caps the week and
features Jennifer Mangosong-Shankle, educa-
tion manager of The Alzheimers Association,
and Dr. John Rose, chief of geropsychology
and director of outpatient spinal cord
injury/disorders psychology with the Veterans
Administration in Palo Alto. Topics will
include ways to bring the family together and
learning what local resources are available.
The discussion, like every happening during
the Week of the Family, is open to everybody,
not just those who reside in the City of Good
Living. The events are also open to all fami-
lies no matter the personal denition and each
are aimed at reminding people that family is
as much a priority as work and school.
This years annual week of family together-
ness includes past favorites like the hike day,
cooking school, story time and scavenger
hunt. There are also new additions like a sci-
ence expo, too, along with a focus on volun-
teerism.
I think its an activity that families can do
together while theyre giving back to the com-
munity. It gives them an exposure to volun-
teering and teaches a great foundational
value, said Kula whose own passion for vol-
unteering played a role in this years planning.
On Sunday, Jan. 27, a donation drive will
collect diaper wipes, new or unused craft sup-
plies, activity books and small toys as part of
volunteering for There With Care, a nonprot
that helps families and children facing critical
illness. Children will decorate cards for the
families, parents will be trained and together
they will pack snack bags.
Later in the week, middle school students
will spend an evening with senior residents of
The Elms, helping them create activity boxes
for families supported by There With Care or
reading and playing games. Students will also
offer residents training on something they
probably know a lot about iPads. Kula said
several residents received the technology from
relatives but need some help learning how to
actually use the devices.
Those with a soft spot for science and a
strong streak of curiosity will enjoy the fami-
ly science expo on Wednesday, Jan. 30 when
the library displays student projects. Past
efforts include dying hair with unexpected
products like Kool-Aid and explaining the
impact of vegetation on cooling roofs.
Those with a culinary leaning can learn how
to make sushi, fruit salad and decorated sugar
cookies that same night at the Arbor Bay
School at family cooking school. The popular
event was started by two middle school stu-
dents, showing that creation as well as par-
ticipation runs the gamut of ages.
The week has previously drawn more than
3,000 families participating in some way,
Kula said.
She personally is looking forward to Captn
Jack Spareribs show at the library think a
pirate and talking monkey providing magic,
juggling and illusions.
Thats going to be very fun, she said.
But if that show is not really a familys
thing, there are also Hiller Flight Night and
discounted sundaes at local ice cream and
yogurt shops like Cowabunga Creamery,
Harmony Yogurt and Tutti Frutti. And dont
forget to reserve Monday, Jan. 28 all
school principals have declared it no home-
work night as a way to encourage families to
stay home and do something specically with
their loved ones.
There is really something for everybody,
Kula said.

Indecent exposer located
After Belmont police released a security
camera image that showed a man who
allegedly exposed himself to a woman last
week, police believe they have identied the
suspect.
The suspect allegedly ashed himself to two
different women over the course of two weeks
but may have been captured on tape.
On Jan. 13, a woman was walking on Hiller
Street near Marine View Avenue around 3:30
p.m. when a man pulled up in a car and asked
for directions, according to police.
When the woman walked over to the car,
however, she saw that the driver had exposed
himself. The woman turned and walked away,
and the suspect drove away south on Hiller
Street, according to police.
The suspect allegedly did the same thing to
another woman Saturday, Jan. 19, according
to police.
The suspect is described as a heavyset man
in his early 20s who has a medium complex-
ion and was clean shaven with short straight
dark hair. He spoke English without an accent
and wore oversized, square black sunglasses.
The car was described as a dark red, early
1990s model Toyota Camry that police found
parked in Belmont Saturday.
The suspect was interviewed by police and
a report has been forwarded to the San Mateo
County District Attorneys Ofce requesting
charges be led against the Belmont man.
The suspects name is not being released at
this time as charges are pending.
Local brief
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
SAN FRANCISCO Hundreds of people
marched from the San Francisco Caltrain sta-
tion to Yerba Buena Gardens Monday morning
in honor of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day hol-
iday.
The crowd had come up the Peninsula on the
Freedom Train, a specially chartered Caltrain
devoted to celebrating Kings legacy.
One of the riders, Jim Zito, 54, of San Jose,
said he brought his 10-year-old son to the march
with him to show the importance of what King
stood for, and how to exercise civic rights.
What we do today can affect the future, he
said.
Zito was 10 years old himself when King was
assassinated.
The crowd, which included San Francisco
Police Chief Greg Suhr, was made up of people
of all ages, and the marchers made their way to
Yerba Buena walking up Third Street in the sun.
Those in the front sang songs, including
Amazing Grace.
Many carried signs, one reading Say no 2
racism and sexism.
Another read, Jobs, housing and education,
not war and occupation.
The march culminated in a celebration at
Yerba Buena Gardens.

One engine responded to the scene initially
and found a burning dumpster adjacent to the
building that was spreading indoors.
Three additional engines, a truck company
and a battalion chief were called to the scene and
quickly extinguished the re outside of the
building.
Fireghters then went inside and found that
the re had spread inside to some ofces, burn-
ing papers and spreading smoke through the
building.
Fireghters quickly extinguished that re as
well, leaving the building with very little struc-
tural damage but some cosmetic damage to the
exterior from re and smoke damage throughout
the building.
Because the labor hours of replacing the lost
paperwork and the extent of damage to comput-
ers and other items is not clear, it was difcult to
estimate the full extent of the damage, Rael said.
The South San Francisco Fire Departments
re marshal is investigating what caused the
dumpster to catch re.
Fireghters remained on the scene until about
4:30 a.m.

ctober and November were busy
months for Notre Dame Elementary
School in Belmont students as they
reached out to the less fortunate in the community.
In October, fth grade students organized a
school-wide food drive, Trick or Treat So All Can
Eat. More than 1,800 pounds of food was collect-
ed for families helped by the St. Vincent de Paul
Society of San Mateo County.
Students from rst through eighth grades com-
peted to see which grade could bring in the most
canned foods and non-perishable goods, as calcu-
lated by weight. The hallways of the school were
soon lled with cans of tuna, beans and pasta.
In November, students held a $5 drive to bene-
t survivors of Hurricane Sandy. Students raised
more than $1,200 for the American Red Cross
efforts on the East Coast.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Californians who
helped kill their friends or spouses have avoid-
ed jail time as prosecutors struggle with the
troubling issue of assisted suicide.
An Orange County social worker received
probation last week for providing yogurt laced
with the drug Oxycontin to an 86-year-old
man who wanted to end his life. And a judge
in San Luis Obispo County sentenced another
86-year-old man to probation and two days
already served in jail for helping kill his wife
last month in a botched suicide pact.
Prosecutors decided not to bring charges in
at least two other suspected cases of assisted
suicide last year.
While assisted suicide is illegal in
California, such cases rarely go to trial. Plea
deals usually are reached instead.
Prosecutors nd it necessary to uphold the
principle of law but recognize the pointless-
ness of sending this person to prison forever,
said Robert Weisberg, a criminal justice
expert at Stanford Law School. Those who do
take cases to trial risk acquittal because of
sympathetic jurors.
Its much better to have a record that peo-
ple are convicted of a very serious crime but
use human, commonsense judgment as to
what the penalty is, Weisberg told the Los
Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/WxdDTO ).
George Taylor, 86, of Los Osos, was sen-
tenced Wednesday for assisting in the suicide
of his wife, Gewynn Taylor, 81.
It wasnt murder, prosecutor Jerret Gran
said. There was an intent to help her kill her-
self, not an intent to kill her.
George Taylor, a retired Los Angeles re-
ghter, and his wife had long agreed on assist-
ed suicide, said Ilan Funke-Bilu, Taylors
attorney.
Neither had a terminal illness, but medical
problems were taking a toll on the couple.
There was nothing wrong with their think-
ing, Funke-Bilu said. They were active peo-
ple who always promised one another that if
they couldnt lead their lives the way they felt
they should, then that would be the end of it.
Taylor was arrested Dec. 10 after his wifes
body was discovered in the back seat of his car
by a ranger in Montana De Oro State Park.
Taylor had cuts around his neck and on his
wrists and appeared disoriented, while the
body had a trash bag cinched around its neck,
authorities said.
Taylor told the ranger that he and his wife
had been extremely depressed and had a sui-
cide pact. He said that after putting the bag on
his wife, he slashed his wrists and neck and
tried to suffocate himself but survived, the
sheriffs report stated.
Taylor pleaded guilty last month to assisted
suicide.
Last week, an Orange County judge sen-
tenced Elizabeth Barrett, 66, of Laguna
Woods to three years of probation for aiding
in the suicide of a World War II veteran.
Jack Koency, 86, of Laguna Niguel, decided
to commit suicide even though he was not
immobile or terminally ill, prosecutors said.
Barrett drove him to make his funeral
arrangements on Sept. 30, 2011.
Later that day, she crushed Oxycontin pills,
mixed a lethal dose into yogurt and gave it to
Koency, who ate it, went to his bedroom, lay
down and died, authorities said. She called
911 to report the death a while later.
Last year, prosecutors in San Diego County
decided against pursuing assisted suicide
charges against Alan Purdy, 88, of San
Marcos.
Purdy said he watched his 84-year-old wife,
Jo Purdy, take applesauce she had laced with
30 sleeping pills and place a bag over her
head.
Alan Purdy said his wife was in crippling
pain from the autoimmune disease pancreati-
tis and had attempted suicide before.
Yes, I sat beside her as she died, he told
the Times in an interview weeks after his
wifes death. I didnt want her to feel aban-
doned. I wanted her to know that I loved her.
In July, Riverside County prosecutors
decided not to charge Bill Bentinck, then 87,
in the death of his wife, who was under hos-
pice care at the couples Palm Springs home.
He was released after spending three days in
jail.
The district attorneys ofce said there was
insufcient evidence to prove that he had
helped 77-year-old Lynda Bentinck, who was
terminally ill with emphysema, disconnect her
oxygen supply.
Bentinck told police that his wife removed
her own nasal catheter and refused his offer to
get emergency help.
Californians avoid jail
for assisted suicides
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO A system that tracks
prescription drugs and has assisted in several
celebrity death investigations is in jeopardy of
ending, prompting Californias top law
enforcement ofcial to seek new funding.
The state created the nations rst prescrip-
tion drug monitoring program in 1939 and
shifted to a computerized database in 1997.
The online system tracks prescriptions written
by doctors and lled by pharmacies.
It also has been used in recent years in the
death investigations of Michael Jackson, Anna
Nicole Smith and actor Corey Haim, among
others.
But the database nearly fell victim to budg-
et cuts 18 months ago, forcing Attorney
General Kamala Harris to divert enough
money from federal grants and other programs
to keep it functioning until July. She now is
working with lawmakers, medical providers
and law enforcement agencies to collect
enough money to retain and improve the sys-
tem.
Harris estimates it would cost about $3.8
million to upgrade the Controlled Substance
Utilization Review and Evaluation System
and another $1.6 million to run it each year.
Her plans to expand it are prompting the most
debate.
She is seeking another $4.3 million annual-
ly to create two law enforcement teams, split
between Northern and Southern California,
that would ensure doctors, pharmacists and
other medical providers are reporting their
prescriptions for controlled substances, as
required by law. The teams would then use the
computerized system to look for patterns or
anomalies that could suggest abuse.
Ive talked to a number of physicians who
were shocked when they
started to see the numbers
and realized that that one
patient that they see has
gone to four other different
doctors to get the same
prescription, Harris said
in an interview.
Harris said the database
also is needed for investi-
gations like the one that
resulted in the federal indictment of 16 Los
Angeles-area doctors and pharmacists in
October on charges of improperly prescribing
more than 900,000 Oxycontin pills. The pow-
erful painkillers were then sold on the street
for as much as $27 per pill.
Authorities say the scam defrauded state
and federal health care programs of millions
of dollars. Moreover, expanded use of the
tracking program could reduce Californias
workers compensation claim costs by more
than $50 million a year, Harris said, citing a
recent California Workers Compensation
Institute estimate.
California started a paper-based system 74
years ago to track prescriptions of highly
addictive controlled substances. Since 2009,
doctors and pharmacists have been able to
look up their patients prescription history
online to make sure theyre not prescribing a
dangerous combination of drugs and to deter-
mine if patients are doctor-shopping to feed
their addictions.
Prescription drug abuse, particularly among
young people, is not only dangerous on its
own but often serves as a precursor to other
addictions, Harris said. The state Department
of Justice calls misuse of prescriptions the
nations fastest-growing drug problem, with
deaths now exceeding fatalities from vehicle
accidents.

NATION 7
By David Espo
WASHINGTON Turning the page on
years of war and recession, President Barack
Obama summoned a divided nation Monday to
act with passion and dedication to broaden
equality and prosperity at home, nurture democ-
racy around the world and combat global warm-
ing as he embarked on a second term before a
vast and cheering crowd that spilled down the
historic National Mall.
Americas possibilities are limitless, for we
possess all the qualities that this world without
boundaries demands, the 44th president
declared in a second inaugural address that
broke new ground by assigning gay rights a
prominent place in the wider struggle for equal-
ity for all.
In a unity plea to politicians and the nation at
large, he called for collective action to con-
front challenges and said, Progress does not
compel us to settle centuries-long debates about
the role of government for all time but it does
require us to act in our time.
Elected four years ago as Americas rst black
president, Obama spoke from specially con-
structed ag-bedecked stands outside the
Capitol after reciting oath of ofce that all pres-
idents have uttered since the nations founding.
The events highlighted a day replete with all
the fanfare that a security-minded capital could
muster from white-gloved Marine trumpeters
who heralded the arrival of dignitaries on the
inaugural stands to the mid-winter orange ow-
ers that graced the tables at a traditional lunch
with lawmakers inside the Capitol.
The weather was relatively warm, in the mid-
40s, and while the crowd was not as large as on
Inauguration Day four years ago, it was estimat-
ed at up to 1 million.
Big enough that he turned around as he was
leaving the inaugural stands to savor the view
one nal time.
Im not going to see this again, said the man
whose political career has been meteoric
from the Illinois Legislature to the U.S. Senate
and the White House before marking his 48th
birthday.
On a day of renewal for democracy, everyone
seemed to have an opinion, and many seemed
eager to share it.
Im just thankful that weve got another four
years of democracy that everyone can grow in,
said Wilbur Cole, 52, a postman from suburban
Memphis, Tenn., who spent part of the day vis-
iting the civil rights museum there at the site
where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was
assassinated in 1968.
The inauguration this year shared the day with
Kings birthday holiday, and the president used
a Bible that had belonged to the civil rights
leader for the swearing-in, along with a second
one that been Abraham Lincolns. The president
also paused inside the Capitol Rotunda to gaze
at a dark bronze statue of King.
Others watching at a distance were less upbeat
than Cole. Frank Pinto, 62, and an unemployed
construction contractor, took in the inaugural
events on television at a bar in Hartford, Conn.
He said because of the presidents policies, My
grandkids will be in debt and their kids will be
in debt.
The tone was less overtly political in the
nations capital, where bipartisanship was on the
menu in the speechmaking and at the congres-
sional lunch.
Congratulations and Godspeed, House
Speaker John Boehner, a Republican, said to
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden as he pre-
sented them with ags that had own atop the
Capitol.
Outside, the Inaugural Parade took shape, a
reection of American musicality and diversity
that featured military units, bands, oats, the
Chinese American Community Center Folk
Dance Troupe from Hockessin, Del., and the
Isiserettes Drill & Drum Corps from Des
Moines, Iowa.
Time to act, Obama declares,
as he takes oath second time
President Barack Obama says it was a
privilege to take the oath of ofce using a
Bible that had been owned by the Rev.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Obama paused by a statue of King in the
Capitol Rotunda after a luncheon hosted by
members of Congress. He was accompanied
by his wife, Michelle, and Vice President Joe
Biden and his wife, Jill.
You know this is the rst time I have seen
this, he said.
The King bust a bronze sculpture 36
inches high on a 66-inch high Belgian black
marble base has been in the Capitol
Rotunda since 1986, according to the
Architect of the Capitol.
Kings Bible was one of two Obama used
for the ceremonial inauguration.
I had the great privilege that the Bible we
used was his Bible and they asked for it to be
inscribed, Obama said. The other Bible
belonged to President Abraham Lincoln.

WASHINGTON Three U.S. citizens were
killed in last weeks hostage standoff at a natu-
ral gas complex in Algeria, while seven
Americans made it out safely, Obama adminis-
tration ofcials said Monday.
The State Department conrmed that gas
workers Victor Lynn Lovelady of Houston,
Texas, and Gordon Lee Rowan were killed at
the Ain Amenas eld in the Sahara. U.S. of-
cials identified Texas resident Frederick
Buttaccio as the rst death last week.
Im glad we were able to get some rescued,
but we did lose three Americans, Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta said as he was leaving
the Capitol, where he attended President
Barack Obamas second inauguration. That
just tells us that al-Qaida is committed to cre-
ating terror wherever they are and weve got to
ght back.
A U.S. ofcial had told The Associated Press
earlier Monday that the FBI had recovered
Loveladys and Rowans bodies and notied
their families. The ofcial had no details on
how the Americans died, and their hometowns
were not released.
Militants who attacked Ain Amenas had
offered to release Lovelady and Rowan in
exchange for the freedom of two prominent
terror suspects jailed in the United States:
Omar Abdel Rahman, a blind sheik convicted
of plotting to blow up New York City land-
marks and considered the spiritual leader of the
1993 World Trade Center bombing, and Aaa
Siddiqui, a Pakistani scientist convicted of
shooting at two U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.
The Obama administration rejected the offer
outright.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria
Nuland said the U.S. was still working with
Algerias government to gain a fuller under-
standing of the attack and to enhance their
counterterrorism cooperation in future.

DIABALY, Mali French troops in
armored personnel carriers rolled through the
streets of Diabaly on Monday, winning praise
from residents of this besieged town after
Malian forces retook control of it with French
help a week after radical Islamists invaded.
The Islamists also have deserted the town of
Douentza, which they had held since
September, according to a local ofcial who
said French and Malian forces arrived there on
Monday as well.
The militants occupation of Diabaly marked
their deepest encroachment into government-
held territory, and Mondays retaking of the
town is a signicant victory for the French-led
intervention.
Diabaly, located about 320 miles (460 kilo-
meters) north of Bamako, the capital, fell into
rebel hands on Jan. 14. Residents said those
who ed in the aftermath were forced to
escape on foot through rice elds.
We are truly really grateful to the French
who came in the nick of time, said Gaoussou
Kone, 34, the head of a local youth association.
Without the French, not only would there no
longer be a Diabaly, there would soon no
longer be a Mali. These people wanted to go
all the way to Bamako.
On Monday, all that remained of the
Islamists were the charred shells of their vehi-
cles destroyed by the French air strikes. Three
of them were clustered in one location, the
machine gun cannon of one still pointing sky-
ward.
The cluster of rebel vehicles was directly in
front of the home of an elderly man, Adama
Nantoume, who said the French bombs started
falling at around 11 p.m. the same day that the
Islamists occupied Diabaly.
I was at home, sitting like this against the
wall, he said, showing how he had hugged his
knees to his chest in a fetal position. The
plane came and the bombs started to fall. After
that, I saw that the cars had caught on re. And
the explosions were so loud that for a while I
thought I had gone deaf. I was suffocated by
the smoke and the light burned my eyes. The
gas made me cry.
Islamists had seized Diabaly just days after
the French began their military operation on
Jan. 11. The offensive is aimed at stopping the
radical Islamists from encroaching toward the
capital in Malis south from their strongholds
in the vast, desert north where they have been
amputating the hands of thieves and forcing
women to wear veils for the last nine months.
Meanwhile, Egyptian President Mohammed
Morsi who hails from his countrys oldest
Islamist group, the Muslim Brotherhood
opposed Frances military intervention in
Mali. Speaking at the opening of an Arab eco-
nomic summit in Saudi Arabia, he said
Frances actions would create a new conict
hotspot separating the Arab north of Mali
from its African neighbors to the south. He
said he would have preferred to see a peace-
ful and developmental intervention.
On Monday, about 200 French infantrymen
supported by six combat helicopters and
reconnaissance planes made their way to
Diabaly. Associated Press reporters saw
French troops in camouage uniforms take up
positions in front of a Malian military camp in
the town.
With the help of the French troops its reas-
suring, but we must search, and search some
more. There may still be a few pockets of
enemy resistance, said a Malian army com-
mander who gave only his last name, Samassa.

UKs Prince Harry
returns from Afghanistan
LONDON Capt. Wales is coming home
to be Prince Harry once again.
The Ministry of Defense revealed Monday
that the 28-year-old prince is returning from a
20-week deployment in Afghanistan, where he
served as an Apache helicopter pilot with the
Army Air Corps. It did not immediately
divulge his exact whereabouts.
In interviews conducted in Afghanistan, the
third in line to the British throne described
feeling boredom, frustration and satisfaction
during a tour that saw him kill Taliban ghters
on missions in support of ground troops. He
also spoke of his struggle to balance his job as
an army ofcer with his royal role and his
relief at the chance to be one of the guys.
My fathers always trying to remind me
about who I am and stuff like that, said Harry,
the younger son of Prince Charles and the late
Princess Diana. But its very easy to forget
about who I am when I am in the army.
Everyones wearing the same uniform and
doing the same kind of thing.
Stationed at Camp Bastion, a sprawling
British base in the southern Afghan desert, the
prince known as Capt. Wales in the military
ew scores of missions as a co-pilot gunner,
sometimes firing rockets and missiles at
Taliban ghters.
Moscow to start
evacuating Russians from Syria
MOSCOW Russia is sending two planes
to Lebanon to evacuate Russians from civil
war-struck Syria, authorities said Monday, a
move that appears to reflect Moscows
increasing doubts about Syrian President
Bashar Assads ability to stay in power.
The Emergency Situations Ministry said
two of its planes were scheduled to y to
Beirut on Tuesday to carry more than 100
Russians from Syria.
Russia has been Assads main ally since the
start of the conict in the Arab state in March
2011, using its veto power at the United
Nations Security Council to shield Damascus
from international sanctions.
But it has recently begun to distance itself
from the Syrian ruler, signaling it is resigned
to him losing power. Russias President
Vladimir Putin has said that Russia realizes
the need for change in Syria.

Thank you to Speier
Editor,
Im grateful to U.S. Rep. Jackie
Speier, who took action and stood up for
middle-class American families by vot-
ing yes on the bipartisan bill to avert
the scal cliff. Without this legislation,
middle-class Americans would have
seen their taxes go up by about $2,200
in the new year.
For many, that would have meant the
choice between buying groceries and ll-
ing a prescription, or worrying about
making ends meet while paying rent and
tuition. Now, thanks to our congress-
woman and her fellow representatives,
who took action and came together in a
bipartisan way to do the right thing, the
wealthy are nally paying their fair share,
middle-class American families get the
tax relief they need during tough eco-
nomic times and millions of Americans
wont lose unemployment benets.
My thanks to Congresswoman Speier
for her leadership and for standing up for
middle-class families in our community.

Isnt that ridiculous?
Editor,
I heard the Tour de France will start
now in Yorkshire, the northern most
part of England. This is coming on the
heels of the rst victory in the history
of the race by an Englishman last year.
This just represents another hijacking
of a countrys national identity by
Britain a country most Americans
are completely deluded about, deluded
in their understanding of its history, its
orgins and the way it has treated other
people in the world.
Now cyclists will make their way
from Northern England in the torrents
of rain to London. There there will be
a brief ride through the city of London,
a city that has absolutely no relevance
to the origins of the race at all. Then
hundreds of them will board ferries to
cross the English Channel to France
and continue the race. So, hell why not
change the name of the race? Call it the
Tour de France et Angleterre.

Security mystery
Editor,
Lois Garcia just noticed that the
White House has armed guards and
wonders if children are so much less
valued than the president (Security,
letter to the editor, Jan. 4 San Mateo
Daily Journal).
Never noticed until now? The reason
is quite simple! The White House and
the president and his family are under
constant threat, with armed lunatics out
there ready and willing to take a shot if
given a chance especially at
President Obama. Whenever threatened
in any way, schools receive security, too.
Ever noticed? One difference, though:
we have hundreds of thousands of
schools never threatened, and only a sin-
gle White House, always threatened.
Yes, the concept is quite simple and a
no-brainer, but apparently too complex
to grasp for those blinded by hate of our
twice-elected President Obama and our
Democratic values.

and Electric and many of us
who were impacted by the 2010
pipeline explosion in San Bruno. Many
things have occurred between then and
now. Some of it
has made the news.
Some of it has not.
What has not is
that the wounds of
our injuries keep
reopening. Just
when an emotional
scab begins to
form, just when
there is a glimmer
of new emotional skin, something hap-
pens or doesnt, and we are left with a
raw and open wound once again.
We have many wounds, and they
keep opening. They are wounds that, all
too often, are inamed and weeping.
They are wounds that can be ugly to
look at, so ugly that some people have
turned away from them because theyve
grown tired of the sight. There is a
neighborhood full of wounds, wounds
in varying stages of healing, yet
wounds that continue to weep nonethe-
less, enough of them to know that
something is still not right here. The
chain link fences are gone, but the
wounds are not.
The wounds are not able to heal for
many reasons. They are unable to heal
because we are jostled coming home
each night, driving over rutted streets
and metal plates that cover PG&Es
pipeline replacement. They cannot heal
because we awaken to sunny days, once
special and joyful, now only highlight-
ing the lth that has accumulated on
our windows from reconstruction and
repair. They cannot heal because we
have learned that we, as ratepayers, will
have to pay for the egregious failures of
a corporation and its oversight commit-
tee that caused our wounds to begin
with.
Our wounds are not able to heal
because we are tossed back and forth
through legal wrangling, one moment
preparing ourselves for settling our
cases, the next moment preparing our-
selves for a trial, only to be preparing
for settlement once again. They are not
able to heal because, in one breath, we
hear PG&E profess their sorrow for
what has occurred, only to nd in the
very next moment that they have tried
to block evidence that would show a
jury their wrongdoings. We are not
fools, and we are not fooled. This legal
battle has left many of our wounds
open and raw and wretched, and some
days, nothing seems to make sense or
have meaning because of it. We are
tired of hearing about closure, about
promises to change, about safety and
commitment and healing. We have
heard it for two years, four months, 11
days and counting. Yes, we count. We
count because, even through all of this,
we wait for a better day. We count
because we cannot believe how long it
has been since our lives have felt nor-
mal. We count because we are unable
to remember what normal even feels
like. We count because it orients us in
the many moments that continue to be
disorienting. We count because we have
heard all too often that time will heal
these wounds we carry, and we hope
no, we pray that if we can just count
loudly enough or convincingly enough,
maybe time will heal just a few of ours
soon.
We count because it gives us some
small sense of control. But the truth is
we have none. To PG&E and the
California Public Utilities Commission,
there is no closure for us in this neigh-
borhood. Our wounds cannot close
because the only closure we get to have
is in a court room.
And closure never happens there.

Signature moves
in how we write
X
marks the spot. Unfortunately, that spot is
where a perfectly sloppy, often-illegible signa-
ture should be. The writing has been on the
proverbial wall for quite awhile that cursive, and with
that, a proper signature, are going the way of the dodo
and proper pre-texting spelling. Schools no longer wish
to teach it, students feel no need to learn it and the
advent of electronic signatures and verification mean
individuals have cause to need it less and less.
Fair enough. Besides, as someone who often ruined
her elementary school grade point average with Cs in
handwriting, the idea of shelving graded penmanship is
perfectly acceptable. New generations of children should
not be motivated to choose doc-
tor as their early career path
only because it is the only
occupation in which three lines,
a squiggle and a dot are an
accepted if not even outright
expected form of handwriting.
Yet, with the skill becoming
as uncommon as calligraphy,
how will these same future gen-
erations be able to mark
National Handwriting Day?
National Handwriting Day on
Jan. 23 honors the 276th birth-
day of John Hancock, the poster
boy for famous signatures, and is an attempt to keep the
lost art of writing relevant. Of course, it is also a day
sponsored by the Writing Instrument Manufacturers
Association which undoubtedly has a stake in pens, pen-
cils and markers not joining quills as outdated relics.
Come tomorrow, though, the biggest surprise wont be
that such a holiday exists. Instead, the question will like-
ly be, Whats handwriting?
Unlike email created in computer fonts and emoticons,
handwriting offers a personal touch to correspondence
be it a hastily scribbled birthday card or Unibomber-like
manifesto. Brilliant ideas get fleshed out on cocktail
napkins. Love letters get xs and os with a special flour-
ish. Electronic thumbprint scans may be more secure but
they will never be instantaneously recognizable in the
eyes of loved ones who immediately know the long
swoop of the s, the long tail of the g or the mish-mash of
print and cursive that most people eventually settle into
years after grade school practice on lined paper.
As handwriting evaporates, so will handwriting
analysis. So much for murder mysteries that rely on
document examiners proving the deceased did not write
that suspicious suicide note or sign the will just before
they conveniently passed away. And too bad for those
who think the key to somebodys personality is evident
in just how they cross their ts and dot their is.
Goodbye to those folks at the county fair that turn
ones signature into colorful artwork of feathers and
flowers and so much for using cursive when engraving
a name on rice. Fewer middle fingers may become cal-
loused from grasping writing implements tightly so
farewell manufacturers of pens with those helpful
squishy centers. Cashiers will no longer be checking
the back of credit cards for matching signatures and
birthday cards passed around the office will just be a
sea of printed well-wishes.
A third-hand story passed on a couple weeks back
would have sounded incredulous a few years ago. Now
the tale just sounds realistic and sad. A woman standing
in line behind a young student at Skyline College over-
heard a school employee ask him to sign his name on
some paperwork. He couldnt do it. He had never
learned how. As these scenes become more and more
common, signatures will return to an X once again
the accepted signoff for the illiterate.
With the absence of learning to write cursive, the skill
of reading the style of handwriting will also disappear.
Someday, looking at cursive will be like decoding hiero-
glyphics, a niche market left to archeologists, grapholo-
gists and teens who think listing the arcane ability on
their resumes will help secure a spot in an Ivy League
school.
At least, if nothing else, future treasury secretary nom-
inees need not worry about having their slinky-like
loopy scrawl torn apart publicly, a la Jack Lew.
American currency will likely instead boast names writ-
ten out in a classic Helvetica or maybe even a quirky
Zapf Dingbats.
Yes, the pen is mightier than the sword. It just not
strong enough to stave off change.

TOKYO Japanese and U.S. investigators began a probe
Monday into the maker of the lithium ion batteries used in
Boeings grounded 787 jets.
Tsutomu Nishijima, a spokesman for GS Yuasa, the battery
manufacturer, said investigators visited the companys head-
quarters in Kyoto, Japan and that Yuasa was cooperating with
the probe.
All 50 of the 787 Dreamliners that Boeing has delivered to
airlines were grounded after an overheated battery forced the
emergency landing of an All Nippon Airways 787 ight last
week in western Japan. Boeing has halted deliveries of new
planes until it can address the electrical problems.
Mondays investigation involved an introductory meeting and
factory tour, with deeper studies into product quality and other
issues to follow as the probe continues, said Tatsuyuki Shimazu,
the chief air worthiness engineer at the Civil Aviation Bureaus
Aviation Safety Department.
Two investigators from the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration and an investigator from Japans government
were conducting the probe into how the batteries are made and
assembled and into any quality issues, he said.
We are in the midst of collecting information, so as to
whether there is a problem or not has not yet been determined,
Shimazu said.
Nishijima of GS Yuasa said he could not comment on details
of the investigation.
The burned insides of the ANA battery showed it received
voltage in excess of its design limits. However, a battery that
caught re in a Japan Airlines Boeing 787 in Boston earlier this
month was found not to have been overcharged.
U.S. government investigators said there could still be prob-
lems with wiring or other charging components.
In the U.S., investigators from the National Transportation
Safety Board planned to meet Tuesday with ofcials from
Securaplane Technologies Inc., manufacturer of the charger for
the 787s lithium ion batteries, at the companys headquarters in
Tucson, Ariz., said Kelly Nantel, a spokeswoman for the board.
Boeing investigation
turns to battery maker

ILION, N.Y. The big brick Remington gun factory
pieces together military-style ries in a state that has just
banned their sale after a string of mass shootings led to a
national outcry over civilian ownership of them.
Residents of Ilion see the issue far differently: The gun fac-
tory is a major local employer and a source of pride for almost
two centuries.
As Mayor John Stephens put it, Remington is Ilion. Ilion
is Remington.
Little wonder that residents in this blue-collar stretch of the
Mohawk Valley are defending Remington after state lawmak-
ers banned the sale of semi-automatic rifles like the
Bushmaster weapon made there. The move came after the
weapon was linked to gunmen in the deadly Connecticut
school shooting and in the Christmas Eve slayings of two re-
ghters in western New York.
Remington employee Tom Bradle said dont blame the guns
in mass shootings, blame the shooters.
Its the person that pulls the trigger. I dont care what kind
of gun it is, Bradle said as he walked back to the factory from
lunch break on a chilly, gray day recently.
Chad Delmedico, who works on Remingtons Model 700
bolt-action rie, said it more simply: We have a bum rap.
Remington has been intertwined with Ilion since shortly
after Eliphalet Remington crafted a intlock rie on his
fathers forge in 1816. Even the elementary school shares the
companys name. Company ofcials did not respond to calls
seeking comment, but locals say the factory employs about
1,200 people and produces Bushmaster, Marlin and H&R
products.
Parts of the Remington Arms Co. factory, with its imposing
four-story front of brick and old-style, multi-paned windows,
date back to the days when upstate New York was a manufac-
turing powerhouse. But factory jobs have become rarer in the
string of modest towns along the Mohawk River, and Ilion,
with about 8,000 residents, depends heavily on Remington.
Stephens, the mayor, was disgusted by the news last month
of 20 rst-graders and six adults killed by a gunman at Sandy
Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. But he is criti-
cal of the New York state law approved last week banning cer-
tain semi-automatic ries and large-capacity magazines and
calling for background checks on ammunition purchases,
among other measures. He dismisses the idea that theres an
emotional link between Newtown and Ilion.
Are people disappointed and distraught? Stephens asked.
Do they feel bad and are they sad? Absolutely! Absolutely! I
would never wish that on anyone, never. But as far as an emo-
tional attachment between us and them, I dont see it.
Stephens voiced a sentiment heard frequently in this large-
ly conservative area: New Yorks law and the sweeping gun
regulation package proposed recently by President Barack
Obama are wrongheaded.
The New York law, starting when Gov. Andrew Cuomo
signed it Jan. 15, dened as illegal assault weapons semi-auto-
matic ries that accept detachable magazines and have one
additional military-style feature such as a pistol grip, ash
suppressor or bayonet mount. The old law required two such
features.
At the State Bowling Center next to the Remington factory,
Rod Brown said the weapon that the Newtown gunman used
could easily have been a Smith & Wesson or a Browning
instead of a Bushmaster model.
Kelley Holmes-Morton in her salon, Heads-R-Turning, said
she is a National Rie Association member who believes gun
makers are not to blame. And Betty Watkins said as she
pumped gas that the Second Amendment, about peoples right
to bear arms, is being pushed around and misused.
Robbi Breit at the Sellers Avenue consignment shop seemed
more conicted than others in Ilion but still feels that closing
Remington wont end gun violence.
I cried my heart out after Sandy Hook, she said. Im torn
between both sides. But you can get another job. You cant get
another kid.
Bushmaster is owned by Freedom Group Inc., the largest
rearms maker in the U.S., which has its headquarters on
Remington Drive outside the neighboring small towns of
Madison and Mayodan, N.C.
No guns or ammunition are manufactured there. Most peo-
ple around know the 43,000-square-foot building near the
high school and the Walmart as the home of Remington Arms,
which moved to the site in the mid-1990s, and not the
weapons conglomerate Freedom Group has become, said
Mayodan Town Manager Michael Brandt.
Theyre not big contributors to the community like a typi-
cal large company would be in an area, Brandt said. This is
where theyre located, but we dont really see much of them.
Word that Freedom Group is for sale and changes are loom-
ing has generated little local concern in an area where surviv-
ing textile producers and a Miller-Coors brewery are bigger
employers, said Sharon Chirichella, who runs a temporary
stafng agency and is an ofcer with the local chamber of
commerce.
That contrasts with Ilion, where the concern among people
is the future of Remington. The company had said last March
it could leave New York if the state went ahead with a move
to add unique identifying information on spent bullet casings.
That proposal is off the table, but people in town wonder
where things stand in the wake of the new state law, which
does not affect Remingtons ability to manufacture military-
style weapons.
If Im an executive at Remington, whats my attitude going
to be toward the state that bans one of the premier products
that I produce? local Assemblyman Marc Butler asked.
Obamas gun control proposal added more uncertainty.
Jamie Rudwall, who has worked at the plant since 1995 and is
president of the United Mine Workers of America Local 717,
said he expected the gun business to increase in the short term
amid new regulatory proposals, but he worries about jobs in
Ilion long term.
Weve been here almost 200 years, he said. I hope to be
here another 200.
Town defends Remington
factory amid new gun ban

SEA BRIGHT, N.J. Superstorm Sandy, one of the nations
costliest natural disasters, is giving new urgency to an age-old
debate about whether areas repeatedly damaged by storms
should be rebuilt, or whether it might be cheaper in the long run
to buy out vulnerable properties and let nature reclaim them.
The difculty in getting aid for storm victims through
Congress most of a $60 billion package could get nal
approval next week highlights the hard choices that may
have to be made soon across the country, where the federal,
state and local governments all say they dont have unlimited
resources to keep writing checks when storms strike.
But the idea of abandoning a place that has been home for
years is unthinkable for many.
Were not retreating, said Dina Long, the mayor of Sea
Bright, N.J., a chronically ooded spit of sand between the
Atlantic Ocean and the Shrewsbury River only slightly wider
than the length of a football eld in some spots. Three-quarters
of its 1,400 residents are still homeless and the entire business
district was wiped out; only four shops have managed to
reopen.
Despite a rock and concrete sea wall and pumping equipment
in the center of town, Sea Bright oods repeatedly. It is the go-
to spot for TV news trucks every time a storm roars up the
coast. But as in many other storm-damaged communities, there
is a erce will to survive, to rebuild and to restore.
Nobody has come to us and said we shouldnt exist, she
said. It is antithetical to the Jersey mindset, and particularly to
the Sea Bright mindset. Were known for being strong, for
being resilient, for not backing down.
The story is different in the Oakwood Beach section of Staten
Island, N.Y., where despite 20 years of ood protection meas-
ures, Sandys 12- to 14-foot-storm surge inundated the commu-
nity, forcing some residents to their attics or roofs to survive.
Three people died.
Building again and again in this very sensitive ood plain
will only achieve the same results ooding, and possibly
untimely death, homeowner Tina Downer told about 200 of her
neighbors who gathered to discuss a potential buyout program
last week. It is not safe for anyone to live there.
The problem has worsened in recent decades with an explo-
sion of development near the nations shorelines. The National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that in 2003,
approximately 153 million people 53 percent of the nations
population lived in coastal counties, an increase of 33 mil-
lion people since 1980. The agency forecasts 12 million more
to join them by 2015.
Scientists say that putting so many people in the most vul-
nerable areas is a recipe for disaster.
Should worst-flooded
areas be left after Sandy?

Sacred Heart Prep girls basketball coach
Ann Tafolla believes that her superstar player,
Melissa Holland, has taken her game to the
next level by tapping into her inner catcher.
In a sense, what has catapulted Holland this
season is the cerebral.
She sees everything, Tafolla said. Shes
managing people. She talks to players both on
offense and defense. Shes working that
defensive side of the oor playing big.
Shes a smart kid. Weve actually made
some adjustments based on who were play-
ing as to what side of the oor shes playing.
Not just offensively, obviously her offensive
numbers are big, but even more so, for me as
a coach, shes manages the oor for us.
There are no tools of ignorance necessary
here. At least not ones that are visible. But
when talking about Holland, Tafolla has
noticed the senior wearing a certain light in
her eye on and off the oor which has trans-
lated into a new level of basketball for No. 22.
Its fun to watch, Tafolla said.
Nowhere has Holland been bigger and more
instrumental than the start of the West Bay
Athletic League season. After back-to-back
losses to begin the 2013 campaign, Holland
has put the Gators on her back. In two wins
last week, No. 22 averaged 26 points per
game and played inspired defense along the
way.
For her efforts, Holland is the Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
You cant see some things on a stat sheet,
Tafolla said. In the last three games speci-
cally, you see Melissa is rebounding, shes
scoring ... but you cant see that intangible
heart and spirit. Our last three games have
been determined by ve points. You have to
keep your head in the game manage your-
self. And thats what shes been doing.
Holland has gured herself out and has
turned that knowledge into leading her team-
mates in this her nal run through the WBAL.

Ready for the rematch
Jim, John primed to square off on the NFLs biggest stage
By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Jim and John
Harbaugh have exchanged a handful of text
messages, and plan to leave it at that. No
phone conversations necessary while the sea-
sons still going. No time for pleasantries,
even for the friendly siblings.
There is work to be done to prepare for the
Super Bowl, prepare for each other, prepare
for a history-making day already being wide-
ly hyped as Harbowl or Superbaugh
depending which nickname you prefer.
It doesnt matter who the coach is, what
relationship you have with the person on the
other side, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said so
matter-of-factly Monday afternoon.
Their parents sure arent picking sides for
the Feb. 3 matchup in New Orleans.
These days, the Harbaughs longtime
coaching father, Jack, stays away from game-
planning chatter or strategy sessions with his
Super Bowl-bound coaching sons.
Baltimores John Harbaugh and little brother
Jim have been doing this long enough now to
no longer need dads input.
Yet, they still regularly seek it. And, their
father does offer one basic mantra: Get
ahead, stay ahead.
Probably the greatest advice that Ive ever
been given and the only advice that Ive ever
found to be true in all of coaching, I think we
mentioned it to both John and Jim ... the
coaching advice is, Get ahead, stay ahead,
Jack Harbaugh said.
If Im called upon, Ill repeat that same
message.
His boys still call home regularly to check
in with the man who turned both on to the
coaching profession years ago, and the moth-
er who has handled everything behind the
scenes for decades in a highly competitive,
sports-crazed family with all the routine
sports clichis to show for it.
The Harbaugh brothers will become the rst
siblings to square off from opposite sidelines
when their teams play for the NFL champi-
onship at the Superdome.
Not that theyre too keen on playing up the
storyline that has no chance of going away as
hard as they try.
Well, I think its a blessing and a curse,
Jim Harbaugh said Monday. A blessing
because that is my brothers team. And, also,
personally I played for the Ravens. Great
respect for their organization. ... The curse
part would be the talk of two brothers playing
in the Super Bowl and what that takes away
from the players that are in the game. Every
moment that youre talking about myself or

Seattle group
buys the Kings
By Antonio Gonzalez
The only thing stopping the Sacramento
Kings from a sale and move to Seattle is
approval by NBA owners.
The Maloof family has agreed to sell the
Kings to a Seattle group led by investor Chris
Hansen, the league conrmed in a statement
Monday morning. The deal is still pending a
vote by the NBA Board of Governors.
A person familiar with the decision said that
Hansens group will buy 65 percent of the
franchise, which is valued at a total price of
$525 million, and move the team to Seattle
and restore the SuperSonics name. The deal
will cost the Hansen group a little more than
$340 million. The Maloofs will have no stake
in the team.
The person spoke to The Associated Press
on condition of anonymity because the deal
was waiting approval.
The sale gure works off a total valuation of
the franchise, which includes relocation fees.
Hansens group also is hoping to buy out other
minority investors.
The Maloofs will get a $30 million non-
refundable down payment by Feb. 1, accord-
ing to the deal, the person said. They will still
be allowed to receive other offers until the

SAN FRANCISCO When Jim Harbaugh
and Alex Smith drove in the Giants victory
parade last fall, players on San Franciscos
championship baseball team hoped they might
be able to return the favor if the 49ers could
win it all a few months later.
Now, the Giants might just get that very
chance with the NFC champion Niners headed
to New Orleans to face the Baltimore Ravens
in the Super Bowl on Feb. 3.
Titletown USA very well could be moving
out West and soon.
For sure! Giants general manager Brian
Sabean said Sunday night.
San Francisco is trying to become the rst
market to win a World Series and Super Bowl
in the same season since the Boston Red Sox
accomplished it in 2004 and the New England
Patriots followed suit in February 2005.
Whats more, even the NBAs Golden State
Warriors are giving Bay Area fans an awful lot
to cheer and hopes of a playoff season.
The 49ers beat Atlanta and made it this far
with a second-year quarterback boasting all of
nine career starts to his name 25-year-old
Colin Kaepernick. The Giants captured their
second championship in three years behind the
play of an All-Star catcher who won the NL
batting title and MVP after missing most of
2011 with a season-ending left leg and ankle
injury 25-year-old Buster Posey.
The teams have taken a similar path, too.
The Giants rallied from a 2-0 decit in the
NL division series to beat Cincinnati, then
from a 3-1 hole in the NL championship series
against the 2011 World Series champion St.
Louis Cardinals before manager Bruce
Bochys bunch pulled off an improbable
World Series sweep of the well-rested Detroit
Tigers.
On Sunday, the 49ers traveled to hostile
Atlanta, erased a 17-0 decit and held the
Falcons scoreless over the second half for a
28-24 victory.
One thing about our team is that all year we
continued to nd, and even through adversity,
we continued to ght, linebacker Patrick
Willis said.
With second-year coach Harbaugh leading
the way, San Francisco is headed back to the
Super Bowl for the rst time since after the
1994 season, when it won its fth champi-
onship during a remarkable run through the
1980s and 90s.
When the Giants rallied to beat the Reds,
they became the rst team in major league his-
tory to come back from a 2-0 decit by taking
three straight on the road. The 49ers snapped a
five-game postseason road losing streak
Sunday at Atlanta.
In late September, San Franciscos baseball
players autographed a hat for Smith, the quar-
terback who had been ned $15,000 last sea-
son by the NFL for sporting a Giants hat after
games though the ne was later dropped.
Bochy wore a 49ers hat in the dugout before a
game to show Smith who later threw out a
ceremonial rst pitch during the playoffs
that the Giants appreciated him.
Were having fun with this. Its our way of
supporting him for supporting us, Bochy said
at the time. Were all 49er fans here. This is
in honor of Alex. Im glad he didnt have to
pay the ne. Thats good news.
Inelder Ryan Theriot also bought 49ers
hats for his teammates, while quirky reliever
Sergio Romo dressed in full 49ers garb after
one of his games. He sported a red Aldon
Smith No. 99 jersey, and also attended a 49ers
game and met players in the locker room after-
ward even seeking a few autographs and
getting a hug and handshake from tight end
Vernon Davis.

rode with Harbaugh in the Halloween victory
parade through the city.
He might have gotten more claps than I
did, Belt said, only half-joking.
Harbaugh quickly nixed that notion a couple
of days later.
Giants CEO Larry Baers favorite sign he
saw on parade day read: San Francisco,
Happiest Place on Earth.
After Giants win title, Niners get their shot
LAS VEGAS Sports books in Las Vegas
made the San Francisco 49ers a favorite in the
Super Bowl over the Baltimore Ravens on
Sunday night based on the teams solid record
and popularity with sports fans.
Oddsmakers gave the 49ers an early 4 1/2-
point handicap and put the total score at 49
points for the Feb. 3 game in New Orleans.
This means gamblers who bet on the Niners
will collect only if they win by a margin of vic-
tory surpassing 4 1/2 points.
In addition to betting on the victor, fans can
put money on whether the total points scored
during the game will fall short of or exceed
oddsmakers predictions.
Jay Kornegay, race and sports book director
at The LVH casino, said his book made the
49ers a 4 1/2-point favorite and quickly moved
the line to 4 points as bettors gambled on the
Ravens.
The 49ers have been a sexy team all year,
he said. The Ravens dont get a lot of respect
from the public, but that bandwagon is getting
a lot more supporters as we speak.
The 49ers beat the Atlanta Falcons in the
NFC title game Sunday afternoon, rallying in
the second half after falling behind by 17
points. The Ravens defeated the New England
Patriots for the AFC championship later that
night, with Joe Flacco throwing three touch-
down passes in just over 10 minutes.
Oddsmaker Benjamin Eckstein of Americas
Line said he made the 49ers a 4 1/2-point
favorite to encourage action on both teams.
San Francisco is what we call a very public
team because theyve been very good over the
past couple years, and people just like to bet on
them, said Eckstein, who provides betting
lines to more than 100 newspapers in the U.S.
and Canada. The 49ers have done very well
against the spread this year, so theyve made
people a lot of money.
The Super Bowl is the most popular betting
event of the year in Las Vegas.
Last year, sports books made the New
England Patriots three-point favorites to win
the Super Bowl over the New York Giants, but
the Giants won 21-17. Fans bet $93.9 million
at Nevada casinos on the matchup the most
wagered in the past decade and sports books
made $5 million on the action, according to
data from the Gaming Control Board.

The plan by Hansens group is to have
the team play at least the next two sea-
sons in KeyArena before moving into a
new facility in downtown Seattle. The
deadline for teams to apply for a move
for next season is March 1.
We have always appreciated and
treasured our ownership of the Kings
and have had a great admiration for the
fans and our team members. We would
also like to thank Chris Hansen for his
professionalism during our negotiation.
Chris will be a great steward for the
franchise, Kings co-owner Gavin
Maloof said in a statement on behalf of
the family.
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson
said last week he had received permis-
sion from NBA Commissioner David
Stern to present a counteroffer to league
owners from buyers who would keep the
Kings in Sacramento.
Johnson, himself a former All-Star
point guard in the NBA, said in a state-
ment that the city remained undeterred.
Sacramento has proven that it is a
strong NBA market with a fan base that
year in and year out has demonstrated a
commitment to the Kings by selling out
19 of 27 seasons in a top 20 market and
owning two of the longest sellout streaks
in NBA history, Johnson said.
When it comes to keeping the team in
our community, Sacramento is playing
to win. In particular, we have been
focused like a laser on identifying an
ownership group that will both have the
nancial resources desired by the NBA
and the vision to make the Kings the
NBA equivalent of what the Green Bay
Packers have been in the NFL.
The Kings were in New Orleans
preparing for a matinee game against the
Hornets when news came down of the
agreement.
Its just a little weird (but) at the same
time I love Sacramento. I love every-
thing about it. Love the fans; the organi-
zation just brought me in with open
arms. Thats all I really know in this
league is Sacramento, said Kings guard
Isaiah Thomas, a Tacoma, Wash., native.
But then I am from that area back
home. Its just kind of a different situa-
tion. Whatever I say about Seattle,
Sacramento fans might be mad at me,
and whatever I say about Sacramento,
Seattle fans might be mad at me. I just
love both cities.
Added Kings coach Keith Smart, For
us, Im going to get on the oor and
coach the game and players are going to
get out there and make shots, take shots,
make mistakes, make great plays. And
then well deal with it as we do off the
oor.
In a saga that has dragged on for near-
ly three years, Johnson and Sacramento
appear to be facing their most daunting
challenge yet.
Hansen, a Seattle native and San
Francisco-based investor, reached agree-
ment with local governments in Seattle
last October on plans to build a $490
million arena near the citys other stadi-
ums, CenturyLink Field and Safeco
Field.
As part of the agreement, no construc-
tion will begin until all environmental
reviews are completed and a team has
been secured.
The arena also faces a pair of lawsuits,
including one from a longshore workers
union because the arena is being built
close to port and industrial operations.
Hansens group is expected to pitch in
$290 million in private investment
toward the arena, along with helping to
pay for transportation improvements in
the area around the stadiums.
The plans also call for the arena to be
able to handle a future NHL franchise.
The remaining $200 million in public
nancing would be paid back with rent
money and admissions taxes from the
arena, and if that money falls short,
Hansen would be responsible for mak-
ing up the rest.
Other investors in the proposed arena
include Microsoft Chief Executive Steve
Ballmer and two members of the
Nordstrom department store family.
Hansens goal has been to return the
SuperSonics to the Puget Sound after
they were moved from Seattle to
Oklahoma City in 2008.
KINGS
John, thats less time that the players are
going to be talked about.
Both men love history, just not the
kind with them making it.
I like reading a lot of history ... I
guess its pretty neat, John Harbaugh
offered Monday. But is it really going
to be written about? Its not exactly like
Churchill and Roosevelt or anything. Its
pretty cool, but thats as far as it goes.
Nice try, guys.
John watched the end of Jims game
from the eld in Foxborough, Mass., as
Baltimore warmed up for the AFC
championship game. Jim called his sis-
ters family from the team plane before
takeoff after a win at Atlanta and asked
how his big brothers team was doing
against New England.
The improbable Super Bowl features a
set of brothers known around the NFL as
erce competitors unafraid to make a
bold move during the season. Unafraid
to upset anyone who stands in their way.
In fact, each one made a major change
midseason to get this far John red
his offensive coordinator, while Jim
boosted his offense with a quarterback
switch from Alex Smith to Colin
Kaepernick.
Leading up to Sundays games, par-
ents Jack and Jackie said they would
wait to decide whether to travel to New
Orleans if both teams advanced or stick
to what has been working so well
watching from the comfort of their
couch in Mequon, Wis.
We enjoy it very much. We get down
in our basement, turn on the television
and just have a fantastic day watching
outstanding football, Jack said last
week. We share our misery with no one
but ourselves. Not only the misery, but
the ups and downs, the ins and outs of an
outstanding professional game.
And, no, the Harbaughs werent look-
ing ahead to a potential big trip to the
Big Easy.
Jack insists his wife is quick to pull
out that old sports cliche: Its one game
at a time. I think its very appropriate,
he said.
Jim gures they wont possibly miss
this history-making game.
I think theyll be there, he said with
a smile.
The brothers, separated in age by 15
months, have taken different paths to
footballs biggest stage years after
their intense games of knee football at
the family home. They tried to beat each
other at cards, or whatever other game it
was at the time. Sometimes, they tried to
beat each other up. Sister, Joani Crean,
often got in on the fun, too.
The 49-year-old Jim never reached a
Super Bowl, falling a last-gasp pass
short during a 15-year NFL career as a
quarterback. The 50-year-old John never
played in the NFL.
Still, both will tell you, Whos got it
better than us? No-body! one catch-
phrase they got from their dad.
We cant put into words what it
means to see John and Jim achieve this
incredible milestone, their brother-in-
law, Indiana basketball coach Tom
Crean, said on Twitter. We talked to Jim
(before) his team plane left. All he want-
ed to know was how was John doing?
How were they playing? One incredible
family who puts the care, well-being and
love for each other at the forefront like
most families do. Again, we are very
proud of them. Going to be exciting to
watch it unfold.
John worked his way up from the bot-
tom of the coaching ranks, while Jim
was the star college quarterback at
Michigan, a rst-round draft pick and
eventual Pro Bowler who made coach-
ing his career once he retired.
John already has the one-up, while
Jims team is the early favorite. Johns
Ravens beat the 49ers 16-6 on
Thanksgiving night 2011, in Jims rook-
ie season as an NFL coach though
both know that means nothing now.
I just want everybody to know, that
was a four-day deal and every story has
been told, John said. Were not that
interesting. Theres nothing more to
learn. The tape across the middle of the
room story, OK, you got it? Its OK. It
was just like any other family, really. I
really hope the focus is not so much on
that. We get it, its really cool and its
exciting and all that.
Said Jim, Completely new business.
In spite of his efforts to avoid the
topic, Jim did take the opportunity to
express how proud he is of John.
Hes a great football coach, a real
grasp of all phases offense, defense,
special teams. I think he could coordi-
nate at least two of those phases and do
it as well as anyone in the league, Jim
said. Ive got half the amount of coach-
ing experience he does. Again, its not
about us. I keep coming back to that. Im
really proud of my brother. I love him.
Thats the blessing part, that this is hap-
pening to him.

I actually told some of the kids the other day, Listen to
Melissa. If shes managing that, youre managing this,
Tafolla said. Shes not only really found a knack for defense,
shes also sort of found her leadership in the communication in
the right way in the way that people listen because they
want to follow her. Its a fun place for her right now. Shes
playing fun, spirited basketball. Theres a light in her eye.
That light was a re against Menlo School. Holland scored
29 points in the win. More importantly, she was asked to guard
Knights superstar center Drew Edelman and limited her to 17
points.
Melissa is considered one of the biggest players on the
team, Tafolla said. So, shes playing big. Every game, shes
in the middle of our zone specically. Shes managing any-
thing thats coming through there. Shes directing trafc.
She denitely has had her games here and there, but that
game specically, with some of the defensive adjustments that
we made, it ultimately put the game on her with Drew. We
said, Hey, you know where shes at, Tafolla added about that
Menlo win. It was one of the best games Ive seen any kids
play in a long time.
Holland followed that performance with a solid 23-point one
against Castilleja upping her points per game average to 10
per during that effort.
What she does on the offensive end is only because of how
they play on the defensive end, Tafolla said. So, her defense
has denitely pushed her offense. Shes playing smart basket-
ball right now. Theres a spirit in her. Shes sort of found this
light in her eyes if you watch her play. Its very calm. She just
knows what to do.

NFL PLAYOFF GLANCE
closed on a 14-4 run.
Blake Grifn had 26 points and
13 rebounds for the Clippers. Jamal
Crawford added 24 points off the
bench.
Curry stayed mostly silent for
three quarters in his second game
back from an ankle injury but gave
the Warriors a much-needed spark
in the fourth after the Clippers had
taken an 82-75 lead.
He scored 16 points, including
three 3s in a span of 2:13, red a
bounce pass from midcourt to Jack
for a fast-break layup that capped a
10-2 run and made four free throws
over the nal 23.4 seconds to seal
the win in what has quickly become
a heated rivalry between these two
West Coast teams.
Things got chippy just before
halftime when the Clippers
DeAndre Jordan was called for a
technical foul after shoving Lee into
the lap of a courtside fan after get-
ting fouled by Lee. The two men
were quickly separated and
Thompson made the free throw for
Golden State.
Los Angeles regained its compo-
sure long enough to put together a
12-0 run to end the third quarter
and was comfortably up in the
fourth before Curry rallied the
Warriors to end the Clippers four-
game winning streak.
Curry nished 9 of 14 from the
oor and had six 3s.
Golden State (25-15) has won
back-to-back games for the first
time since the end of December and
still trail Los Angeles by six games
in the Pacic. The Clippers (32-10)
lost for just the second time in nine
games.
The urry at the end was in stark
contrast to earlier in the game when
neither team could establish much
control.
Grifns thunderous dunk from
just outside the lane gave the
Clippers an early lead and Jamal
Crawford later scored eight consec-
utive points to make it 33-29.
Draymond Greens jumper and two
free throws from Jarrett Jack with
0.4 seconds left tied the score.
The Warriors scored 10 straight
points to open the second and were
up 52-42 on Currys fadeaway
jumper with 3:10 remaining before
the Clippers put together their best
run of the half. Grifn scored on a
reverse layup and had two free
throws, Butler made a 3-pointer and
Paul added two free throws to help
pull Los Angeles within 53-52 at the
break.
Crawford, the former Warrior, got
Los Angeles going briey in the
third.
After Lees layup put Golden
State up 71-65, Crawford made two
3-pointers and banked a 5-footer off
the glass as part of a 15-2 run to
close the period.

NEW YORK A large study offers reassuring news for
pregnant women: Its safe to get a u shot.
The research found no evidence that the vaccine increases the
risk of losing a fetus, and may prevent some deaths. Getting the
u while pregnant makes fetal death more likely, the Norwegian
research showed
The u vaccine has long been considered safe for pregnant
women and their fetus. U.S. health ofcials began recommend-
ing u shots for them more than ve decades ago, following a
higher death rate in pregnant women during a u pandemic in
the late 1950s.
But the study is perhaps the largest look at the safety and
value of u vaccination during pregnancy, experts say.
This is the kind of information we need to provide our patients
when discussing that u vaccine is important for everyone, par-
ticularly for pregnant women, said Dr. Geeta Swamy, a
researcher who studies vaccines and pregnant women at Duke
University Medical Center.
The study was released by the New England Journal of
Medicine on Wednesday as the United States and Europe suffer
through an early and intense u season. A U.S. obstetricians
group this week reminded members that its not too late for their
pregnant patients to get vaccinated.
The new study was led by the Norwegian Institute of Public
Health. It tracked pregnancies in Norway in 2009 and 2010 dur-
ing an international epidemic of a new swine u strain.
Before 2009, pregnant women in Norway were not routinely
advised to get u shots. But during the pandemic, vaccinations
against the new strain were recommended for those in their sec-
ond or third trimester.
The study focused on more than 113,000 pregnancies. Of
those, 492 ended in the death of the fetus. The researchers cal-
culated that the risk of fetal death was nearly twice as high for
women who werent vaccinated as it was in vaccinated mothers.

WASHINGTON It has the makings of a
science ction movie: Zap someone's brain
with mild jolts of electricity to try to stave off
the creeping memory loss of Alzheimers dis-
ease.
And its not easy. Holes are drilled into the
patients skull so tiny wires can be implanted
into just the right spot.
A dramatic shift is beginning in the disap-
pointing struggle to nd something to slow the
damage of this epidemic: The rst U.S. exper-
iments with "brain pacemakers" for
Alzheimers are getting under way. Scientists
are looking beyond drugs to implants in the
hunt for much-needed new treatments.
The research is in its infancy. Only a few
dozen people with early stage Alzheimers will
be implanted in a handful of hospitals. No one
knows if it might work, and if it does, how long
the effects might last
Kathy Sanford was among the rst to sign
up. The Ohio womans early stage Alzheimers
was gradually getting worse. She still lived
independently, posting reminders to herself,
but no longer could work. The usual medicines
werent helping.
Then doctors at Ohio State University
explained the hope that constant electrical
stimulation of brain circuits involved in memo-
ry and thinking might keep those neural net-
works active for longer, essentially bypassing
some of dementias damage.
Sanford decided it was worth a shot.
The reason Im doing it is, its really hard to
not be able, sometimes, to remember, Sanford,
57, said from her Lancaster, Ohio, home.
Her father is blunter.
Whats our choice? To participate in a pro-
gram or sit here and watch her slowly deterio-
rate? asked Joe Jester, 78. He drives his
daughter to follow-up testing, hoping to spot
improvement.
A few months after the ve-hour operation,
the hair shaved for her brain surgery was grow-
ing back and Sanford said she felt good, with
an occasional tingling that she attributes to the
electrodes. A battery-powered generator near
her collarbone powers them, sending the tiny
shocks up her neck and into her brain.
Its too soon to know how shell fare; scien-
tists will track her for two years.
This is an ongoing evaluation right now that
we are optimistic about, is how Ohio State
neurosurgeon Dr. Ali Rezai cautiously puts it.
More than 5 million Americans have
Alzheimers or similar dementias, and that
number is expected to rise rapidly as the baby
boomers age. Todays drugs only temporarily
help some symptoms. Attempts to attack
Alzheimers presumed cause, a brain-clogging
gunk, so far havent panned out.
Were getting tired of not having other
things work, said Ohio State neurologist Dr.
Douglas Scharre.
The new approach is called deep brain stim-
ulation, or DBS. While it wont attack
Alzheimers root cause either, maybe we can
make the brain work better, he said.
Implanting electrodes into the brain isnt
new.
Between 85,000 and 100,000 people around
the world have had DBS to block the tremors
of Parkinsons disease and other movement
disorders. The continuous jolts quiet overactive
nerve cells, with few side effects. Scientists
also are testing whether stimulating other parts
of the brain might help lift depression or curb
appetite among the obese.
It was in one of those experiments that
Canadian researchers back in 2003 stumbled
onto the Alzheimers possibility. They
switched on the electrical jolts in the brain of
an obese man and unlocked a ood of old
memories. Continuing his DBS also improved
his ability to learn. He didnt have dementia,
but the researchers wondered if they could spur
memory-making networks in someone who
did.
But wait a minute.
Alzheimers doesnt just steal memories. It
eventually robs sufferers of the ability to do the
simplest of tasks. How could stimulating a
brain so damaged do any good?
A healthy brain is a connected brain. One
circuit signals another to switch on and retrieve
the memories needed to, say, drive a car or
cook a meal.
At least early in the disease, Alzheimers
kills only certain spots. But the diseases hall-
mark gunky plaques act as a roadblock, stop-
ping the on switch so that healthy circuits
farther away are deactivated, explained Dr.
Andres Lozano, a neurosurgeon at Toronto
Western Hospital whose research sparked the
interest.
So the plan was to put the electrodes into
hubs where brain pathways for memory,
behavior, concentration and other cognitive
functions converge, to see if the jolts reactivate
those silenced circuits, added Ohio States
Rezai.
Its like going through Grand Central
Station and trying to affect all the trains going
in and coming out, he said.
Lozanos team found the rst clue that its
possible by implanting six Alzheimers
patients in Canada. After at least 12 months of
continuous stimulation, brain scans showed a
sign of more activity in areas targeted by
Alzheimers. Suddenly, the neurons there
began using more glucose, the fuel for brain
cells.
It looked like a blackout before. We were
able to turn the lights back on in those areas,
Lozano said.

from a stab wound to his femoral artery and
police found a steak knife in the sink.
Anderson is one of the three people arrested
for murder in 2012 and the only woman. She
is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Feb. 28.
Two weeks later on Monday, Feb. 27 Daly
City police reported nding a man hanging in
his studio apartment on the 40 block of Park
Plaza.
Foucraults ofce has the case labeled a sui-
cide but Wagstaffe said, while he understands
the reasoning, his ofce believes the death
appears suspicious.
Another case in question is the Monday,
March 26 death of Lawrence Cronin, 67, who
was stabbed and beating while walking in
front of his insurance ofce on Alma Street in
Menlo Park. He died two months later. The
cause of death is undetermined so it is not
considered a homicide by the Coroners
Ofce, Foucrault said, adding that the stab-
bing may have been self-inicted.
East Palo Alto had its second homicide
Thursday, April 26 when 25-year-old
Alejandro Palomino-Albino was found beaten
to death on the street near a parking lot on the
300 block of East OKeefe Street.
Homicides then stayed at bay nearly two
months until South San Francisco police
Ofcer Joshua Cubillo fatally shot 15-year-
old Derrick Gaines at the Arco gas station at
Westborough and Gellert boulevards. In
October, the District Attorneys Office
declared the shooting a justiable homicide
but Gaines family is seeking $10 million in
damages from the city of South San
Francisco.
According to the district attorneys report
on the case, Gaines was shot June 5 after he
and another teen were stopped by Cubillo,
who reportedly suspected the teen was carry-
ing drugs or possibly a weapon due to his sus-
picious behavior. The ofcer gave chase and
caught up to him quickly before grabbing his
clothing and striking him on the back of the
head with a gun. The ofcer told Gaines to put
his hands in the air and the teen started to
comply before eeing the scene. As Gaines
fell to the ground, a gun fell from him onto the
ground close to the teens knee and Cubillo
shot..
Two days later, on Thursday, June 7, Cedric
Tippins, 31, was found dead of multiple gun-
shot wounds just before midnight in the 2500
block of Gloria Way. East Palo Alto police
were alerted by its Shotspotter gunre-detec-
tion system.
On Sunday, June 23, 19-year-old Jesus
Becerra was shot twice in the driveway of a
Madera Street home where had been attending
a party. The teen was a Norteo associate,
according to Menlo Park police.
The next day, June 24, in East Palo Alto
Taliban gangmember Edmund Beverly, 30,
was shot four times in the 2300 block of Glen
Way. The Shotspotter system again alerted
police.
In 2009, Beverly was reportedly involved in
a gunre battle with another man that shut
down Lincoln Street.
The summers last homicides were in San
Bruno when 39-year-old Rodney Corsiglia
had a seizure while driving just after noon
Saturday, July 28 and collided into a car car-
rying two cousins on their way to a baptism.
Prosecutors charged Corsiglia with two
counts of second-degree murder in the deaths
of Usbaldo Gomez, 37, and Arnulfo Picazo,
39, because they say he was intoxicated and
forbidden to drive because of his medical con-
dition of petit mal seizures. He has a record of
seven crashes, including two on the same day,
and was also convicted in 2004 of striking his
girlfriend with a telephone receiver while
intoxicated and seizing.
Corsiglia crashed into several eastbound
cars at an El Camino Real stoplight while
driving east on Sneath Lane. Two others, an
adult and a 9-year-old boy, were also hospital-
ized with serious injuries.
Corsiglia is scheduled for trial Aug. 19. The
Coroners Ofce does not consider these two
deaths homicides because they were vehicular
in nature.
Christopher Baker, 21, was shot six times
with a handgun by a person on a bike just after
8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5 on the 2200 block Terra
Villa Avenue. Baker was a DaVille gangmem-
ber who had a dispute with a Taliban gang
member a week prior during an Operation
Ceasere meeting, Wagstaffe said.
The same night at 11:13 p.m., Taliban gang
associate Lonnie Brown, 24, was shot multi-
ple times in front of his girlfriends home on
the 300 block of Azalea Drive as the couple
were leaving.
The last murder suspected arrested in 2012
was Marc Anthony Furlan, 24, who is accused
of beating and stabbing his 24-year-old friend
Keith Coffey with a hammer in Pacica.
Furlan and Coffey reportedly argued Oct.
17 at the home of Furlans father on Dell Road
before Coffey was hit more than 50 times by a
hammer. Prosecutors say Furlan dragged the
body outside before trying to clean the scene.
Two tenants who ed the scene contacted
police who reported nding Furlan trying to
dispose of the body and leaving a wide swath
of blood from the house to outside.
Coffeys death was Pacicas rst homicide
since 2000.
On Nov. 17 at 6:30 p.m., Carey Cudlip, 42
and of Newark, was shot in the head while sit-
ing in a car with his girlfriend outside a home
in Menlo Park. Cudlip had reportedly just col-
lected a $20 debt and authorities say two
males in hoodies had walked up and demand-
ed money before shooting and eeing on foot.
The woman was not injured.
The years homicides ended where it began
East Palo Alto just before 10 p.m.
Sunday, Dec. 16 on the 1500 block of Bay
Road. Rodolfo Navarro Balderas, 45, was
standing in the doorway of a residence when
he was shot by an unknown person. Balderas
fell between cars in the driveway and died.
Police were alerted by the shot spotter system.
While police arrested only three people on
murder charges in 2012, the District
Attorneys Ofce led four cases.
In August, prosecutors charged Placerville
sex offender John William Kelley, 49, with
potentially capital murder charges after DNA
linked him to the December 1986 rape and
fatal beating of Annette Thur, a 17-year-old
Ben Lomond girl whose body was discovered
down a San Mateo County embankment.

COUNTY
an outright ban; a certication program, which
would limit gas-powered leaf blower noise lev-
els to 65 decibels or less; or improved enforce-
ment of the current leaf blower ordinance.
All three options would cost the city an addi-
tional $160,000 to $200,000 a year to implement
with the creation of new jobs, according to city
staff.
City staff suggested nes and fees could help
offset the cost of the programs.
A long list of gardeners and landscapers, how-
ever, have said a ban would hurt their businesses
and put some of them out of work.
Proper education would eliminate a lot of leaf
blower complaints in the city, gardeners told the
council at a past meeting.
The city has conducted a series of workshops
in recent months to gauge resident response
related to amending the citys municipal code.
Glendale Village neighborhood resident John
Ebneter said the noise leaf blowers create is a big
reason to ban them but the biggest reason is for
health impacts.
He and Beresford/Hillsdale neighborhood
resident Kara Anderson have been urging
other residents to try and convince the council
to ban them.
We want a complete ban on leaf blowers,
both electric and gas, Ebneter said previously.
Restricting the use is not enough, he said.
He also said the public needs to be more
involved in the process because of the health
risks to the users of the device and all the partic-
ulates others have to breathe in.
Grotte and Lim have also described the use of
leaf blowers as a social justice issue since gar-
deners, who are typically low-wage earners, are
subjected to breathing in emissions, bacteria and
particulates almost constantly while they use the
device.
The devices come with warning labels that are
often ignored, say those who want leaf blowers
banned.
The citys police department elds between 30
and 40 complaints a year related to leaf blowers,
according to a staff report.
Currently, leaf blowers are allowed to be used
weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Use is prohibited on
Sundays and major holidays.
The City Council adopted a leaf blower ordi-
nance in 1997.
The leaf blower demonstration is 4 p.m.,
today, Central Park near the southwest play-
ground area at the corner of El Camino Real
and Ninth Avenue, San Mateo.
BLOWERS
on the site on El Camino Real near downtown.
Tonight, residents in the area will learn
whether the City Council sticks with the
Planning Commissions recommendations to
deny the project.
Church ofcials, however, contend the cam-
pus needs to be improved and will be a bene-
t to the surrounding neighborhood once con-
struction is complete.
If the City Council votes down the project
tonight, the church will resubmit another plan-
ning application and start the process over
again, which began in 2006.
The churchs project manager Brian Swartz
said, however, that the church is committed to
seeing the project completed.
We have spent three years working on
this, Swartz told the Daily Journal previous-
ly. The improvements to the site, he said,
would benet both the city and surrounding
neighborhood.
The proposal includes an addition of 108
new parking spaces on site, for a total of 306,
and construction of a new gymnasium with
approximately 12,000 square feet in overall
oor area.
The site, bounded by Notre Dame Avenue
and Aragon Boulevard on El Camino Real,
currently has parking for only 198 vehicles.
The project includes a master plan to regu-
late the allowable uses on the site including:
limiting the use of the gymnasium to athletic
events related solely to St. Matthew School;
restrictions to prohibit the simultaneous use of
the gymnasium and existing auditorium; limi-
tations on the number of special events held
annually on the site; and a requirement for
police ofcer patrol in the neighborhood dur-
ing special events to enforce trafc and park-
ing violations.
We are going to continue to work with the
city and community to improve the existing
conditions on the site. Thats our focus,
Swartz said previously.
The City Council meets 7 p.m., tonight, City
Hall, 330 W. 20th Ave., San Mateo.

CHURCH
TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 2013
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- In an involvement
with friends, dont depend upon any one person to
get things organized. You should know -- if you want
something done, do it yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Youre likely to be far
more successful in your commercial affairs if you
use an indirect approach. Dont be too obvious about
your intentions and tip your hand prematurely.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you feel you could do
a better job of making arrangements for others than
someone else, dont hesitate to ask to take over.
That person might be pleased to get rid of the job.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An important objective
is reachable, but you might have to alter your tactics
to achieve it. You wont mind being fexible to deal
with shifting conditions.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Because you always
do quite well with situations that challenge your
imagination and creativity, you wont dodge
assignments that appear complex or diffcult to
others.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Much to your surprise,
youll perform ably and even reap substantial
benefts from an arrangement that you thought
offered little or no possibilities whatsoever.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Teaming up with others
could turn out to be a fortunate move for you,
especially if your allies are as bold as you are. This
is not a day for shrinking violets.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are now in a
cycle where you could receive a lot of deserving
acknowledgement and rewards for past work.
Instead of easing up, push harder.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Instead of attempting to
manipulate developments, let nature run its course.
Youre in a fortunate cycle, but Lady Luck needs lots
of room and freedom to operate.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Remain both hopeful
and expectant today, because, just when you think
an important matter cant be fnalized to your
satisfaction, events will take a turn for the better.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Try once again to
get in touch with certain people who you believe are
important to your immediate plans. They are likely
to be more receptive to your ideas than they were
previously.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be sure to manage
your resources with extreme care, because your
material trends look uncertain. Dont unrealistically
raise your expectations.
