When Dr. Chris Foreman rst
stepped off a plane in Rwanda, he
had a feeling hed be back.
The Peninsula Baptist minister
had come to the African country at
the urging of his wife, Dr. Kim
Hyun Deok Foreman, whod trav-
eled there previously with Korean
missionaries. The couple, who
met in Korea when Foreman was in
the Peace Corps and his wife a
school teacher, had been looking
for the right spot to work. But
while Kim helped him say hello to
Rwanda, little did he know the
country is where hed eventually
say good-bye to her.

Advocates for the expansion of
early learning in California are
pleased with legislation that
would extend transitional kinder-
garten to all 4-year-olds.
The Kindergarten Readiness Act
of 2014, recently introduced by
S e n a t e
President Pro
Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D-
S a c r a me n t o ,
and nine others
including State
Sen. Jerry Hill,
D-San Mateo,
would put $198
million a year
into allowing
all 4-year-olds
to attend the
new grade level.
This would be
phased in over a
ve-year period
beginning dur-
ing the 2015-
16 school year. Transitional
kindergarten came about as part of
the states Kindergarten Readiness
Act of 2010 and was created to
serve younger students with birth-
days between September and
December. It is currently available
only to 4-year-olds whose birth-
days fall too late in the calendar
year to be eligible for kinder-
garten. Students arent required to
start school until age 6.
Hill said its a critical issue and
one that makes a difference in sav-
ings that includes higher lifetime
earnings for successful students,
lower rates of students repeating
grade levels, lower placements in

The city of Millbrae will move
forward with plans for the long-
awaited construction of land
around the BART/Caltrain station
if the City Council approves an
agreement with the potential to
make way for two developers
projects.
The two proposed mixed-use
plans would modify the 1998
Millbrae Station Area Specific
Plan and related Environmental
Impact Report, building on Sites
One, Five and Six of 13 sub areas
in the plan. The city would charge
the developers
$899,686 for
the amendments
to the plan,
according to a
staff report.
This is
huge, said
Councilwoman
Anne Oliva. I
think these are
some viable submittals and its a
great step in the right direction for
the city of Millbrae.

Chicken plant closes
again after cockroach cleanup
LIVINGSTON ACalifornia chick-
en farm that reopened over the week-
end after it was shut because of a cock-
roach infestation says its voluntari-
ly and temporarily suspending oper-
ations again.
Foster Farms said Sunday it was
closing the plant in Livingston for
several days so it can properly imple-
ment new food safety measures. The
company said in a statement it is
exercising vigilance and dedicating
additional time to ensure its preventa-
tive plan is realized.
Work had resumed Saturday after
Foster Farms announced it met the
demands of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture by performing a thorough
cleanup and treatment of the plant.
The company says no chicken product
was affected.
The USDAsaid in a statement that it
lifted its suspension and ofcials will
monitor the plant once it reopens.
The plant closed Jan. 8 when
inspectors found the cockroaches on
five separate occasions in various
parts of the plant over four months.
That closure came three months after
inspectors threatened a shutdown
because of salmonella problems at the
Livingston plant and two Foster
Farms sites in Fresno.
Those facilities stayed open as the
company agreed to improve safe-
guards. It issued no recalls of products
and instead advised consumers to han-
dle chicken properly and to cook it
thoroughly.
The company said in its statement
Sunday that maintenance workers will
remain on the job during the volun-
tary closure. Other workers will be
called back once full operations
resume.
The company also said it has tem-
porarily shifted production to its
other plants in Californias Central
Valley. Foster Farms spokeswoman
Karmina Zaro declined to elaborate
on the statement.
Arson fires have San
Jose neighborhood on alert
SAN JOSE San Jose residents
remained on high alert Monday as
authorities search for a serial arsonist
they believe is responsible for nearly
a dozen fires in the city within a
week.
The re department has reported 13
res near downtown since Wednesday
11 of them determined to be arson.
The blazes usually occur during the
early morning hours. Three res alone
were set early Sunday.
The targets have included homes and
businesses and a church that was
struck twice. More than 100 reght-
ers battled a massive 5-alarm blaze at
a large vacant warehouse near
Highway 101 on Thursday that
delayed the morning commute and
closed two nearby schools for the day.
No injuries have been reported.
Authorities have released a sketch
of a person of interest in the case.
Surveillance footage obtained by
KTVU-TV shows a man matching that
description starting a re on the porch
of a home.
When you see someone who is
there who shouldnt be there, acting
suspicious, going into peoples drive-
ways, knowing that they shouldnt be
there that is something you should
report, San Jose Fire Capt. Cleo
Doss told reporters Monday.
Residents in one area have taken to
patrolling the neighborhood them-
selves. San Jose Fire Capt. Robert
Brown said Monday that residents
have been doing a better job of keep-
ing the areas around their homes lit.
There is a serious problem here in
San Jose of someone who is destroy-
ing homes, and its hurting everyone
in San Jose, resident John Padilla
told KTVU.
Ben Rodriguez told the station he
had been awake all night keeping
watch.
This has felt really personal to
me, Rodriguez said. Whoever is
doing this is just trying to tear this
neighborhood up.
The local re union is also helping
out. Theyve put up a $10,000 reward
for information that will lead to the
suspects arrest and conviction.

ARedwood City man charged with animal
cruelty spent a month torturing the familys
4-month-old puppy by spraying household
cleaner in its eyes and taping his mouth shut
before eventually suffocating the animal,
according to prosecutors.
On Monday, Alan Velete, 31, pleaded not
guilty to that felony along with misde-
meanor charges of child endangerment for
allegedly committing some of the abuse in
front of his 4-year-old daughter and violat-
ing a court order barring him from having
contact with the girls mother.
Redwood City police arrested Velete
Thursday on the 300 block of Redwood
Avenue after responding
to a report of animal cru-
elty at the apartment of
his girlfriends mother
where the family was
staying.
Prosecutors say Velete
was angry the terrier mix
puppy, Lucky, defecated
on the oor so he spent a
month torturing the ani-
mal before killing it. The abuse included
keeping him crated in the bathroom, punch-
ing and kicking, feeding him his bipolar
medications, taping his mouth shut, spray-
ing household cleaner in his eyes and hang-
ing him in a duffel bag from the shower
while he whimpered, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
Velete eventually suffocated Lucky and
took him away in a duffel bag after which
the girlfriends mother, who had been too
terried to contact authorities before, nal-
ly called the police, Wagstaffe said.
Velete reportedly blamed the actions on
mental issues.
Velete, who has prior convictions for
assault and domestic violence, is on both
felony and misdemeanor probation.
In court Monday, Velete asked for a court-
appointed attorney and had bail set at
$37,500. He returns to court Jan. 27 for a
preliminary hearing.
He remains in custody.

A 37-year-old man who prosecutors say
called his girlfriends husband dozens of
times with threats of harm and eventually
went to the couples Half Moon Bay home
to have it out last week was charged with
stalking.
Andrew Hopkins Rustad is also charged
with making criminal threats and annoy-
ing phone calls to the womans husband
between Jan. 8 and 9. Rustad reportedly
began a romantic relationship last summer
with his alleged victims
wife. In December, she
left her husband to move
in with Rustad but asked
to come back on Jan. 8
because she said he was
verbally abusive,
according to prosecu-
tors.
Throughout the night
of Jan. 8, Rustad
allegedly called 68 times and left 24 mes-
sages of escalating threats such as being
outside the home waiting to get him.
Sheriffs deputies could not locate Rustad
but were called to the couples gated com-
munity early the next morning because he
was there to see the husband. Deputies
arrested Rustad and reported him saying he
was there to have it out with the victim,
said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Rustad pleaded not guilty to all charges
and a preliminary hearing was calendared
for Jan. 23. A judge denied his request for
release on his own recognizance and set
bail at $250,000 which he posted.

Local brief
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown
is on the right track with his 2014-15
budget proposal by recommending
that California devote billions of dol-
lars in new revenue to start paying
down its massive debts, the
Legislative Analysts Office said
Monday.
The governors plan would place
California on an even stronger scal
footing as the state emerges from
recession, analyst Mac Taylor said in
his review of the spending proposal
released by the governor last week.
Browns budget forecasts a $106.8
billion general fund, the highest in
state history. The Democratic gover-
nor wants to boost K-12 funding by
nearly $4 billion and spend $11 bil-
lion paying down debts, including $6
billion more that is owed to schools
from previous budgets where education
was underfunded. He is proposing to
put $2.3 billion in reserves, including
$1.6 billion in a rainy day fund for s-
cal emergencies.
The review by the legislative ana-
lyst, an independent and nonpartisan
arm of state government, warns
against new spending commitments
other than toward education and notes
that the Legislature could revise some
of Browns spending priorities in the
months ahead.
Lawmakers have until mid-June to
send the governor a balanced budget.
Taylor credits Californias rebound-
ing fortunes to a recovering economy,
soaring stock market, relatively
restrained spending and new revenue
from Proposition 30. Under the initia-
tive pushed by Brown in 2012, voters
approved temporary increases in the
state sales tax and income taxes on the
wealthy.
The analysis says anticipated
growth in the U.S. economy creates a
significant possibility that
California will see billions more in
additional revenue by May, when the
governor issues his revised spending
plan for the scal year that will start in
July.
The report issued Monday also rec-
ommends:
That the state set aside money this
year toward $80 billion in unfunded
liabilities in the states teachers retire-
ment fund. Brown has said he wants to
meet with representatives of school
districts and teachers unions this year
to address the problem. The legislative
analyst notes that it will be a very
expensive proposition, starting at $5
billion a year and growing. He recom-
mends that future benefits be paid
completely by districts and teachers
over the long term.
That the Legislature consider a host
of proposals for a rainy day fund,
including Browns budget recommen-
dation, which would replace a constitu-
tional amendment that is scheduled for
the November ballot.
That the Legislature reject Browns
plan to spend $250 million out of
$850 million in cap-and-trade funds on
the high-speed rail project, saying it
is unlikely to be the most efcient way
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
and is legally risky.

Man arrested for shoplifting, heroin
An Oakland man was arrested for shoplifting inside the
Luckys Supermarket on Old County Road in San Carlos
Friday evening and dropping a container
of heroin after he was chased down by
responding deputies, according to the
San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce.
At about 7:30 p.m., deputies were
called to the store at 1133 Old County
Road on the report of a shoplifter who
was detained for questioning. At that
time, the man later identied as Anthony
Stovell, 29, suddenly ed on foot and ran
north through the Home Depot parking
lot. Deputies gave chase and saw him
toss a white container on the ground, which contained a sig-
nificant amount of suspected heroin, according to the
Sheriffs Ofce.
He was booked into San Mateo County Jail for the
attempted burglary of more than $800 in health care and per-
sonal hygiene items, possession of controlled substance
and resisting arrest, according to the Sheriffs Ofce.

WASHINGTON Rep. George Miller, the top Democrat
on the House Education and Workforce Committee and a
longtime condant of House Democratic
leader Nancy Pelosi, announced Monday
that he will not seek re-election in 2014
after four decades in Congress.
Miller, the dean of Californias con-
gressional delegation, has been a leading
Democratic party voice on education,
labor and health care policy. He played a
prominent role in developing President
Barack Obamas signature health care
overhaul, defended environmental regu-
lations and fought against efforts to open up environmen-
tally sensitive land to oil drilling and helped guide House
Democrats on issues such as education funding and college
affordability.
I look forward to one last year in Congress ghting the
good ght and then working in new venues on the issues
that have inspired me, Miller said.
Miller, 68, was rst elected in 1974 to his reliably
Democratic San Francisco Bay area district and he has been
a longtime adviser to Pelosi, serving on her leadership team
while she was House speaker.
President Barack Obama praised Miller as someone who
spent his entire career ghting for the middle class, calling
him an indispensable partner in passing Obamas health
care law.
Because of his tireless efforts, our air and water are clean-
er, our workers rights are better protected, more young peo-
ple can afford to go to college, and more working families

SACRAMENTO Astate lawmaker
proposed Monday that California
extend its requirement that gun buyers
undergo background checks and regis-
ter their weapons to anyone who
assembles a rearm in their home.
The legislation by state Sen. Kevin
de Leon is part of a growing effort
across the country to pre-empt the
spread of undetectable guns that can be
made using 3-D printers. His bill also
would apply to anyone who buys parts
that can be assembled into a gun.
De Leon said he is trying to address a
twin threat from what he called ghost
guns plastic guns that can slip
through metal detectors and unregis-
tered weapons that can fall into the
hands of people who are legally pro-
hibited from owning firearms under
state law.
Currently, no one knows they exist
until after a crime has been commit-
ted, said de Leon, a leading candidate
to take over as Senate leader next year.
That was the case for John Zawahri,
who assembled his own military-style
assault rie and killed ve people in
Santa Monica in a June rampage even
after he was barred from legally buying
a gun in California because of mental
health issues.
The bill by De Leon, a Democrat
from Los Angeles, goes further than
the federal government, which last
month renewed for 10 years an exist-
ing ban on plastic rearms that can
evade metal detectors and X-ray
machines.
His bill, SB808, would allow the
manufacture or assembly of homemade
weapons, but require the makers to rst
apply to the state Department of
Justice for a serial number that would
be given only after the applicants
undergo a background check. The num-
ber would have to be engraved on or
otherwise permanently attached to the
weapon within one day of its manufac-
ture.
He plans to amend the bill to also
require that the guns contain perma-
nent pieces of metal that could be
detected by X-ray machines and metal
detectors, a proposal that was blocked
in the federal legislation. Some plastic
guns currently comply with the federal
law by including a metal piece that can
be removed, which potentially would
allow them to be slipped through secu-
rity screeners at airports, courthouses,
schools and elsewhere.

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

New Jersey Democrats
intensify Christie scandal inquiry
TRENTON, N.J. Democrats in New Jersey sharpened
their aim at Republican Gov. Chris Christie on Monday,
forming special legislative committees
to explore the role politics played in
trafc jams last fall and announcing that
the investigation has grown into an
abuse of power probe.
The intensifying investigation, which
threatens to undermine Christies second
term and his chances at a 2016 presiden-
tial run, revealed last week that high-
ranking Christie aides and appointees
were involved in ordering lane closings
in September as apparent political payback that led to mas-
sive gridlock in the town of Fort Lee.
Facility in West Virginia spill
ew under regulatory radar
CHARLESTON, W.Va. The facility whose chemical
spill contaminated the water supply for 300,000 West
Virginia residents was barely scrutinized, ying largely
under the radar of government regulators who viewed it as a
low-risk operation but in reality, a problem at a key
holding wall went undetected and unreported at Freedom
Industries Inc.
The chemicals stored at Freedoms facility near the Elk
River are not considered hazardous enough by regulators to
prompt routine inspections. On a normal day, it never cre-
ated chemical waste that went into the environment. As a
result, the chemical storage terminal was a low priority for
regulators, who must pick and choose how to allocate scarce
manpower when enforcing environmental laws.
Test votes postponed on unemployment bill
WASHINGTON The Senate postponed a pair of test
votes on stalled unemployment legislation on Monday as
Republicans and Democrats sought a compromise to restore

Harry Reid of Nevada met privately with two Republicans
on the measure, the rst in what looms as a series of elec-
tion-year bills in which the political parties vie for support

WASHINGTON The Supreme
Court cast doubt Monday on President
Barack Obamas use of a provision of
the Constitution to make temporary
appointments to high-level positions
over the objection of Senate
Republicans.
The court is writing on a blank slate
as it considers for the rst time the
Constitutions recess appointments
clause. That clause allows the presi-
dent to ll vacancies temporarily, but
only when the Senate is in recess.
The justices heard more than 90 min-
utes of arguments in a dispute over
Obamas appointments to the National
Labor Relations Board in January
2012. Republicans and employers who
objected to NLRB decisions made by
those Obama appointees say the
Senate was not in recess at the time
Obama acted, and so any decisions
made by the board were illegitimate.
Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr.
warned the court that it would essen-
tially write the recess appointment
power out of the Constitution if it
found that those appointments were
illegal.
The court battle between the Obama
administration and Senate
Republicans is an outgrowth of the
increasing partisanship and political
stalemate that have been hallmarks of
Washington over the past 20 years,
and especially since Obama took ofce
in 2009.

WASHINGTON The U.S. govern-
ment ran a $53.2 billion surplus in
December, signaling further improve-
ment in the nations nances.
The surplus was the largest since
September and a record for the month
of December, according to the Treasury
Department report released Monday. It
was boosted by nearly $40 billion in
payments from mortgage giants
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
For the rst three months of the
budget year, which began on Oct. 1, the
Treasury has run a decit of $173.6 bil-
lion. Thats 40.8 percent below the
$293.3 billion decit run during the
same period last year.
Rising tax revenues and government
spending constraints are expected to
trim this years annual decit to around
$600 billion. That would be even lower
than last years decit of $680 billion,
which was the lowest since 2008.
Annual decits ballooned above $1
trillion from 2009 through 2012. They
peaked at a record $1.4 trillion in
2009, President Barack Obamas rst
year in ofce.

special education programs and lower crime

Everyone knew the advantages of pre-
school education and early learning as a
great investment for future, said Hill.
Twenty years ago, I was working to devel-
op early learning centers in the San Mateo-
Foster City [Elementary] School District.
Were still talking about it and still not
making an initial investment. Theres such
a difference between those who start
[school] at 4 and those who start as 5.
Senate Bill 837 proposes a model of both
a morning and afternoon session for two-
teacher teams, reducing the Average Daily
Attendance funding to $6,000. During the
ve-year phase-in period, 46,000 4-year-
olds would be added each year to the
Transitional Kindergarten for All program,
eventually totaling 350,000 additional
children eligible for transitional kinder-
garten. California has three major educa-
tional programs for preschool-aged chil-
dren: state preschool, federal Head Start and
transitional kindergarten. This proposal
would effectively combine part-day state
preschool for 4-year-olds with transitional
kindergarten. The program would eventual-
ly provide transitional for all 4-year-olds,
with an extra year of Head Start or Strong
Start for children living in poverty, accord-
ing to the bill. Funding for Transitional
Kindergarten for All would total $990 mil-
lion by 2019-20.
The 2010 readiness act did not legally
make it mandatory for schools to offer tran-
sitional kindergarten, so this one would
make it mandatory for schools to offer the
program. Parents can voluntarily have their
children attend at age 4.
We got calls from two school districts
saying they were not going to offer transi-
tional kindergarten because in their legal
opinion we did not make it mandatory,
Hill said. So we needed some cleaned up
language to do that. At the same time, I had
talked to Darrell [Steinberg] to see if there
was something else we could do with this.
Local school ofcials are also stressing
the importance of beginning education at
an earlier age.
The San Mateo County School Boards
Association took a stand on preschool edu-
cation with its recent position paper,
Preschool is Just School: Closing the
Achievement Gap by Rethinking the
Starting Age of Public School. The paper
calls on policymakers and the education
community to seriously engage in the topic
of providing universal preschool, or early
education, for all 3- and 4-year-olds.
Association President Alisa MacAvoy, of
the Redwood City Elementary School
District, said the reality is there are budget
implications to expanding to younger age
groups and starting with 4-year-olds is a
really good start.
Steinbergs proposal is in line with
what our association would like to see,
MacAvoy said. We feel like the opportuni-
ty gap starts at a very young age and the
sooner we can get kids in an academic situ-
ation, the better. The tricky thing is how
do they fund it, but if you look at the
research, eventually it saves us money.
The current structure of U.S. public
schools including the K-12 grade frame-
work was established more than a centu-
ry ago based on the goals, scientic knowl-
edge and theories of child development at
the time, yet this structure has been remark-
ably resistant to change despite the fact
that our society, economy and the require-
ments of our public school system have
changed dramatically, the paper states.
It goes on to state that less than 40 per-
cent of children in the United States are
ready for kindergarten when they get to
public schools, creating an opportunity
gap long before schools can address it
properly.
Many children who live in poorer house-
holds and neighborhoods are both less
likely to have attended a quality preschool
program and less likely to have resources
and support outside of school during their
K-12 years, it states. There is a mountain
of evidence that this opportunity gap is
created when children are young 88 per-
cent of those who drop out of school could
not read prociently by third-grade.
The existing transitional kindergarten
has a ratio of one teacher for 24 students.
This expanded program would require a cre-
dentialed teacher and associate teacher,
with a minimum of an associate of arts
degree and 24 units of early childhood edu-
cation, in each class of 20 students, lower-
ing the ratio to one adult for every 10 stu-
dents. School districts and charter schools
would be allowed to contract with private
transitional kindergarten providers who
meet quality standards, according to the
bill.
Advocacy groups are also excited about
the proposal, including Early Edge
California, a nonprot organization work-
ing to ensure all children have the early
experiences necessary to be successful
learners by the end of third-grade, setting
them on a path to college and career readi-
ness. The group is co-sponsoring the bill
with State Superintendent Tom Torlakson.
Were thrilled by the pro tems
announcement, said Molly Tafoya, direc-
tor of communications for Early Edge.
Were committed to ensuring this propos-
al is passed because its good for children.
The reality is there is an achievement gap
for children. The education of a child is a
pipeline and were denitely advocates for
expanded opportunities from birth to age
3.
Some states already have universal access
to transitional kindergarten, including
Oklahoma, Georgia and Florida. New
Jersey, New York, Alabama, Illinois, West
Virginia and Vermont have regional or
underfunded universal transitional kinder-
garten programs.

Avian cholera confirmed,
SBSA warns of smells
The death of 200 ducks that prompted the
draining of a popular Redwood bird-watch-
ing pond has been confirmed as avian
cholera and ofcials are warning the public
the empty area will smell.
The South Bayside System Authority
began draining the wastewater facility pond
at 1400 Radio Road on Friday. U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service authorities believed at the
time that avian cholera from the East Bay
was behind the bird deaths but still needed
conrmation which was delivered Monday.
Once the water is gone, the several inches
of bird excrement on the bottom of the area
and record-setting warm weather this week is
expected to enhance the odors, according
to the SBSA.
Depending on wind direction, the odors
could impact Redwood Shores neighbors.
The wastewater facility is at 1400 Radio
Road in southeast Redwood Shores.
To mitigate what we can, we have heavy
equipment ordered and coming in to try and
keep the area as fresh as possible, but it is
going to smell, said SBSA Manager Dan
Child in a prepared statement.
The pond needs a few months to dry out
before possible relling.

T
he life-altering damages caused by
concussions to National Football
League players have received much
attention in recent months, and appropri-
ately so. The NFL for too many years
ignored its responsibilities to better pro-
tect players.
However, tens of thousands of concus-
sions and other brain injuries occur each
year to football players at the college,
high school and even peewee levels of the
sport across America.
Parents, coaches and school ofcials
need to be more involved in nding ways
to prevent concussions. Coaches, along
with trainers, must be aggressive in mak-
ing sure players do not take part in games
until they have recovered from possible
concussions.
Baseline concussion testing should be
required for all players at the high school
and college levels because individuals react
differently to brain injuries. The National
Federation of High Schools and the
National Collegiate Athletic Association
should put together more comprehensive
concussion education programs.
One barrier to progress: Players, parents
and coaches sometimes dont recognize
concussions when they occur. Or, players
want to or are told to play through head
injuries.
That kind of destructive attitude can lead
to permanently harming the health of a
young football player. Get rid of the macho
posturing in the sport, and take injuries to
the brain more seriously.
Who are the bullies?
Editor,
John McDowells Jan. 4 column on lib-
eral billionaire bullies brought quick
response from letter writers who criticized
him for failing to note the conservative
Koch brothers and their efforts to control
politics.
I agree he should have done so to give
the column some balance. The same lack
of balance from the late columnist Keith
Kreitman used to drive me nuts. However,
I would remind myself that Kreitmans
column was his opinion. I wish
McDowells critics would have the same
attitude. The outraged tone of their letters
made me wonder who the real bullies are.
Aquick search of the Internet shows the
Koch tag team have been well covered in
the mainstream media. Not so much Tom
Steyer, the crux of McDowells piece. I
consider myself a news junkie, yet I had-
nt heard of Steyer until McDowells col-
umn, which prompted my search. I dis-
covered that the Los Angeles Times
recently referred to him as The Liberals
answer to the Koch Brothers, which
seems like a fair assessment to me, but it
did make wonder why the Times took so
long to note his influence.

All a hoax
Editor,
In his informative Jan. 9 letter to the
editor, Irv Chase assures us that the warn-
ings of climate change are all a hoax,
perpetrated by dubious characters like
Nobel Prize winner Al Gore, and corrupt
politicians attempting to line their own
pockets with our hard-earned dollars
used to pay taxes for them to squander it.
So, the question for us is who should we
believe when it comes to climate change:
scientists, oceanographers, biologists
and geographers those who spend
years, not just in college but in the field
and in labs studying these things and
offering suggestions about what is hap-
pening on the planet which we inhabit
and, frankly, havent treated very well
throughout history or Irv? Because
other than a very familiar tea party-like
opinion, what qualifications does Irv
have to substantiate his opinion? He cites
the military as a legitimate government
concern and expenditure, yet current news
releases make it clear that the military is
a major source of waste, with its buying
of equipment it has no need or use for.
But Irv doesnt see it as a problem he
is primarily anti-government and tells
us to wake up but he, and those who
think like him, seem to forget it was we
people he tells to wake up who put
these people in government and who re-
elected 92 percent of Congress. It would
seem we like them just fine.

Minimum wage increase
Editor,
Per numerous news sources, there are
91.5 million people no longer in the
workforce. Per my simple math 91.5 /
300,000,000 = .305 or 30.5 percent.
With 30 percent of the entire population
out of work, why are we raising the mini-
mum wage? Paying people more money
raises the cost of goods and services. The
employers in turn raise the price of their
products and services, plus reducing the
number of employees. We now have less
people employed and our money is worth
less. How does that help our economy?

FBI abuses under Hoover
Editor,
The recent release of The Burglary: The
Discovery of J. Edgar Hoovers Secret
FBI showcases the massive abuses the
FBI perpetrated on unsuspecting political
activists during the Vietnam War. The FBI
used the program to infiltrate, monitor
and disrupt social and political move-
ments. In a desperate attempt to halt the
abuses, several activists raided the FBI
office in Media, Penn., hoping to find
incriminating documents. One of the
activists, John Raines who was recently
interviewed by Amy Goodman of
Democracy Now, explained that we knew
the FBI was systematically trying to
squash dissent. And dissent is the
lifeblood of democracy.
One of the documents revealed a group
of FBI agents who were told to enhance
the paranoia in the antiwar movement and
to create an atmosphere that theres an
FBI agent behind every mailbox. Many
of the techniques were clearly illegal: bur-
glaries, forged blackmail letters and
threats of violence.
David Brinkley, a prominent newscast-
er, commented that no one was spared in
the massive FBI surveillance including
diplomats, government employees,
sports figures, socially prominent per-
sons, senators and congressmen.
Another prominent newscaster, Walter
Cronkite, observed that the FBI at one
time sought to blackmail the late Martin
Luther King into committing suicide.
Tragically, countless lives had been
destroyed by the FBI. The activists decid-
ed to break their long silence out of con-
cern that the NSA is conducting far more
sophisticated methods to invade the pri-
vacy of ordinary Americans and U.S.
allies which has caused so much conster-
nation and moral outrage.

Protecting young football players from concussions

Think of the
possibilities
W
ell aint that a kick in the head.
Forget about the dog eating ones
homework. The newest excuse
for avoiding schoolwork is a concussion.
The Boston-based Sports Concussion
Clinic with a name like that theres no
confusion over what those folks study
announced recently that new research shows
children sporting a concussion recover sig-
nicantly faster if
they dont strain
their mental facul-
ties too much after
being injured. In
other words, the
best advice for
them is not to
think too hard.
Actually, thats
probably good
advice for a good
number of people
I know. And the
other ones? I
might argue they havent thought hard in a
very long time, skull bop notwithstanding.
But back to those whose excuse for a men-
tal break is actually medically warranted. The
conclusion seems pretty common sensical.
When you hurt your knee, you usually rest it.
Makes no sense to put weight on an already
weakened area. When you throw out the
back, the same maybe along with some
super fun painkillers and eventual physical
therapy. And when its the brain hurting, it
follows suit that the best thing to do is give
the gray matter a couple days vacation.
Unless, of course, that brain ache is due to
too many adult beverages and too little sleep
on a school night. Then you just have to
suck it up, chug some aspirin and water, dial
down the volume on the desk phone ringer
and hope the boss doesnt expect too much.
Maybe now with this study, though, there
is an alternative even for those of us long
out of high school. Calling in concussed.
Gee, Id really like to annotate that data
report in triplicate and practice having a
smile in my voice but darnnit I went and got
myself concussed last night. That twerking
sure is a killer on the noggin.
Why should adolescent athletes get all the
perks? The real question is if feigning con-
cussion can also supplant the old check is
in the mail explanation, too.
The ironic thing about the concussion
study is that at rst blush hitting ones head
(or at least claiming to have done so) sounds
like a creative way for teens to avoid hitting
the books. But the devil is in the details,
kiddos. The mental rest prescribed by
experts extends far beyond reading, writing
and arithmetic.
Imagine the scenario:
Student: Id really have liked to nish up
those algebra equations and polish up that
report on the beginnings of World War I but I
rattled my brain a bit yesterday.
Teacher: Thats OK then. Just go home and
rest up. But make sure not to play any video
games or text your friends either. Hand over
the cellphone.
Student: Wait what? I have to just lay in
bed without Snapchat or getting everybody
on Facebook to like my slightly exaggerat-
ed version of injuring myself in a complete-
ly awesome way? I cant just stay home and
play Call of Duty for hours? My head does-

NEWYORK The stock market had
its worst day of the year so far, extend-
ing a January slump.
Stocks dropped Monday as falling
oil prices pushed down energy stocks.
The prospect of the Federal Reserve fur-
ther cutting back on its economic stim-
ulus also weighed on the market.
Stocks are falling back this year after
exceptional gains pushed the market to
record levels in 2013. Investors con-
dence that the economy was recovering
was jolted Friday by a weak employ-
ment report that showed far fewer jobs
were added in December than econo-
mists had forecast.
Unlike last year, investors have so
far been reluctant to buy stocks when
the market has slumped. Instead they
appear to be waiting for more news
before committing, said Peter Cardillo,
chief market economist at Rockwell
Global Capital.
At these high levels, people arent
going to step in until they get more
evidence of earnings growth or better
economic news, Cardillo said. Until
that happens, whos going to step up
to the plate?
The Standard & Poors 500 index
dropped 23.17 points, or 1.3 percent,
to 1,819.20, the biggest decline for
the index since Nov. 7. After surging
almost 30 percent last year, the S&P
500 index is down 1.6 percent in
January.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
179. 11 points, or 1.1 percent, to
16, 257. 94. The Nasdaq composite
dropped 61.36 points, or 1.5 percent,
to 4,113.30.
All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 fell.
Energy stocks were among the
biggest decliners, dropping 1.9 per-
cent after the price of oil slumped close
to its lowest in eight months. Exxon
Mobil fell $1.97, or 2 percent, to
$98.55.
Oil fell 92 cents, or 1 percent, to
$91.80 a barrel as Libyan production
continued to ramp up and the possibil-
ity of increased crude exports from Iran
raised the prospects of excess supply
on global markets.
Investors are also worried about more
cuts to the Federal Reserves big eco-
nomic stimulus program.
Dennis Lockhart, the President of the
Federal Reserves Atlanta branch, said
Monday that he would support further
cuts over the course of this year if the
economy continued to improve.
Policymakers said in December that
they intended to reduce their purchases
of bonds by $10 billion a month to
$75 billion a month. The Feds stimu-
lus was a key driver of the markets
rally last year.
For many investors, the focus this
week will be on company earnings.
JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and
Bank of America are among the big
banks that are scheduled report fourth-
quarter earnings this week. Best Buy
and General Electric are among the
non-financial companies that will
report earnings.
The market will take its direction
from how well, or how poorly, corpo-
rate earnings season is unfolding, said
Phil Orlando, chief equity market
strategist at Federated Investors. I
think were setting up for a positive
surprise.
Analysts expect fourth-quarter earn-
ings to rise by 5.3 percent for S&P500
companies, according to S&P Capital
IQ.

DETROIT Some call it a game-changer.
Some just shake their heads. Either way,
Fords new aluminum-clad F-150 is such a
radical departure from past pickup trucks
that it dominated talk at the opening of the
Detroit auto show.
Ford Motor Co. unveiled the 2015 F-150,
whose body is 97-percent aluminum, on
Monday. The lighter material shaves as
much as 700 pounds off the 5,000-pound
truck, a revolutionary change for a vehicle
known for its heft and an industry still
reliant on steel. No other vehicle on the
market contains this much aluminum.
Its a landmark moment for the full-size
pickup truck, said Jack Nerad, editorial
director for Kelley Blue Book.
The change is Fords response to small-
business owners desire for a more fuel-ef-
cient and nimble truck and stricter gov-
ernment requirements on fuel economy. It
sprang from a challenge by Fords CEO to
move beyond the traditional design for a
full-size pickup.
Youre either moving ahead and youre
improving and youre making it more valu-
able and more useful to the customer or
youre not, Chief Executive Alan Mulally
told the Associated Press in a recent inter-
view. But it remains to be seen if customers
will accept the change.
Trucks are put to such hard use. They take
bangs and dings and a lot of hard use, Nerad
said. Well see how the use of lightweight
aluminum plays out in the eld.
Ford is taking a big risk. F-Series trucks
which include the F-150 and heavier duty
models like the F-250 have been the
best-selling vehicles in the U.S. for the last
32 years; last year, Ford sold an F-Series
every 41 seconds. Ford makes an estimated
$10,000 prot on every F-Series truck it
sells. Michael Robinet, the managing
director of IHSs automotive group, says the
trucks account for about a third of the com-
panys revenue in North America $80 bil-
lion in 2012.
Anytime you make a change with that
vehicle, its got to be well thought out,
because you are really playing with the crown
jewels of that company, Robinet said.
But Robinet said Ford had to make a
change, since its trucks were heavier than
competitors, hurting their fuel efciency.
Ford, which has been selling F-Series
trucks since 1948, also has a deep under-
standing of its customers, he said.
They wouldnt roll the dice on this if
they felt it wasnt going to work, he said.
Competitors arent panicking, but
theyre on notice. Chrysler CEO Sergi o
Marchionne, whose company makes Ram
trucks, said hell be watching the Ford truck
carefully. Still he believes cost is still a big
barrier to the wider adoption of aluminum.
Weve looked at it, but right now I cant
make the weight to cost benet analysis to
work. But it may be my fault, he said.
The 2015 F-150 goes on sale late this
year. As for cost, Ford wouldnt reveal
prices, but its truck marketing chief Doug
Scott says the F-Series will stay within its
current price range even though aluminum
costs more than steel. F-Series trucks now
range from a starting price of $24,445 for a
base model to $50,405 for a top-of-the-line
Limited.

Beam being
acquired by Japans Suntory
NEW YORK The maker of classic
American whiskeys Jim Beam and Makers
Mark has agreed to be acquired by a
Japanese company in a $13.62 billion deal
that would create the third largest global
premium spirits business.
Shares of Beam Inc. rose 24 percent on
Monday after it said that it agreed to be pur-
chased by Suntory Holdings Ltd., a
Japanese beverage company. The combined
company would have annual sales of more
than $4.3 billion.
The deal follows other recent acquisitions
in the alcohol industry, including Anheuser-
Busch InBevs $20.1 billion deal last year
to buy the other half of Mexican brewer
Grupo Modelo that it didnt already own.
It also comes at a time when the taste for
bourbon a type of American whisky that
is made primarily of corn and typically dis-
tilled in Kentucky continues to grow
domestically and abroad.
In the U.S., sales volume for bourbon and
Tennessee whiskeys such as Jack Daniels
has grown 26 percent over the past decade,
according to the Distilled Spirits Council,
and industry group. Exports of U.S.
whiskeys has grown to roughly $1 billion
last year, more than double what it was a
decade ago.

NEWYORK Google will pay $3.2 bil-
lion to buy Nest Labs, which develops
high-tech versions of devices like thermo-
stats and smoke detectors, in its second-
largest acquisition ever.
The search engine operator was an early
investor in Nest Labs. It says the compa-
nys Nest Learning Thermostat has been a
consistent best-seller. The thermostat,
which retails for $249, is designed to learn
how inhabitants like their homes to be
heated and cooled. Once it learns the con-
sumers preferences, it automatically adjusts
the temperature on its own.
Its Nest Protect alarm is intended to be
less annoying than traditional alarms: when
it detects rising smoke or carbon monoxide
levels, it lights up yellow and speaks with
human voice, giving consumers an option
to turn the device off if there is no emer-
gency. They can stop the alert by waving an
arm. The Nest Protect costs $129 while an
older smoke and carbon monoxide detector
could cost $50 to $80.
Analyst Shyam Patil of Wedbush
Securities said Google is positioning itself
to offer products that work on the Internet
of Things specifically a connected
home full of intelligent wireless devices
that collect data and could be controlled
with a smartphone. The Internet of
Things is a global network that not only
links computers, tablets and phones but
connects everything from bikes to washing
machines to thermostats. Last year Google
introduced Chromecast, a device that lets
users connect their TVs and mobile devices.
Its a big market opportunity and it pro-
vides Google with good technology to
attack it over time, Patil said in a tele-
phone interview. He has a Neutral rating
on Google shares.

DALLAS The pilots of a Southwest
Airlines flight that mistakenly landed at
the wrong Missouri airport were grounded
Monday, less than a day after they touched
down at a small airfield that gave them
only half as much room as normal to stop
the jet.
Southwest Flight 4013 was traveling
Sunday evening from Chicagos Midway
Airport to Branson Airport but instead
landed at tiny Taney County Airport seven
miles away.
No one was hurt, but after the 124 pas-
sengers were let off the plane, they noticed
the airliner had come dangerously close to
the end of the runway, where it could have
tumbled down a steep embankment if it had
left the pavement.
As soon as we touched down, the pilot
applied the brake very hard and very
forcibly, said Scott Schieffer, a Dallas
attorney. I was wearing a seatbelt, but I
was lurched forward because of the heavy
pressure of the brake. You could smell
burnt rubber, a very distinct smell of burnt
rubber as we were stopping.
Branson Airport has a runway that is
more than 7,100 feet long a typical size
for commercial traffic. The longest runway
at Taney County is only slightly more
than 3,700 feet because it is designed for
small private planes.

Theres a chance that Serras Nick
Schnabel could do to the Padre record books
what hes been doing to opposing defenders
on the eld this season: Leave them in his
dust.
Nine games into the season, Schnabel has
been the main weapon in what is a torrid
Serra offense that is putting up over three
goals a game and has the Padres near the top
of the WCAL standings.
That means, with more than half a season
to go, Schnabel and his 14 goals is primed
to blow past the 17-goal mark in his
time as the Serra head coach, Jeff Panos said
no one has scored more.
Hes one of the smartest players Ive ever
coached, Panos said. He knows exactly
how to exploit the weakness of any defend-
er that is on him. Hes a game-changer for
sure.
So far, Schnabel has changed the long-
term outlook of the Serra season. With a
game in hand, the Padres are making a
strong push atop the WCAL standings with
a couple of huge games this week the lat-
ter against rst place Archbishop Mitty.
And if his start to the season is any indi-
cation, Schnabel and the Padres should com-
pete all the way to the end.
In two games last week, Schnabel scored
four goals, including a hat trick against
Sacred Heart Cathedral in a 5-2 win. He also
notched a big goal in Serras 1-1 draw with
St. Francis-Mountain View.
For his efforts, Schnabel is the San Mateo

Like all great players, Schnabel has
I
m occasionally asked by coaches,
athletic directors and even parents
how they can get more ink for their
school, teams and athletes.
The answer is simple: send us your results
after every game. Technically, the home
team is the ofcial
scorebook at a game
and its usually their
responsibility to con-
tact the media with the
result. Not every home
team does that, howev-
er. If you want to get
more coverage for your
team, send in every
result, home and away.
There are a few
coaches and schools
that send in every
result from every

NEWYORK Alex Rodriguez sued Major
League Baseball and its players union
Monday, seeking to overturn a season-long
suspension imposed by
an arbitrator who ruled
there was clear and con-
vincing evidence the
New York Yankees star
used three banned sub-
stances and twice tried to
obstruct the sports drug
investigation.
As part of the com-
plaint led in federal court
in Manhattan, Rodriguezs lawyers made pub-
lic Saturdays 34-page decision by arbitrator
Fredric Horowitz, who shortened a penalty
originally set at 211 games last August by
baseball Commissioner Bud Selig for viola-
tions of the sports drug agreement and labor
contract.
Horowitz, a 65-year-old making his second
decision as baseballs independent arbitrator,
trimmed the discipline to 162 games, plus all
postseason games in 2014.
While this length of suspension may be
unprecedented for a MLB player, so is the
misconduct he committed, Horowitz wrote.
Horowitz concluded Rodriguez used testos-
terone, human growth hormone and Insulin-
like growth factor-1 in 2010, 2011 and 2012
in violation of baseballs Joint Drug
Agreement. He relied on evidence provided
by the founder of the now-closed Biogenesis
of America anti-aging clinic in Florida.
Direct evidence of those violations was
supplied by the testimony of Anthony Bosch
and corroborated with excerpts from Boschs
personal composition notebooks, BBMs
(Blackberry messages) exchanged between
Bosch and Rodriguez, and reasonable infer-
ences drawn from the entire record of evi-
dence, Horowitz wrote. The testimony was
direct, credible and squarely corroborated by
excerpts from several of the hundreds of

STANFORD All-American left guard
David Yankey is forgoing his final year of
eligibility at Stanford to enter the NFL
draft.
Yankey said in a state-
ment released by the
school Monday that the
decision was not easy. I
have loved my time at
Stanford and am a proud
member of Nerd Nation.
I am humbled at the
prospect of joining a
long list of Stanford
alumni currently play-
ing in the NFL.
The decision hardly came as a surprise.
Yankey led one of the best offensive lines
in the country last season and could be a
first-round pick and possibly the top
interior linemen taken in the draft.
Yankey also is scheduled to graduate in
the spring with a bachelors degree in sci-
ence, technology and society. He could
have returned as a fifth-year senior due to
an injury as a freshman.
Yankey is the first of three Stanford
players who must decide whether declare
for the draft before Wednesdays deadline
for underclassmen. Right tackle Cameron
Fleming and free safety Ed Reynolds are
the others.
Linebacker A.J. Tarpley and defensive
end Henry Anderson announced last week
they would remain at Stanford for their
final season of eligibility in hopes of
improving their draft status.
After anchoring a stout offensive line at
Stanford, Yankey had little left to accom-
plish on The Farm. The Cardinal ranked
seventh nationally for fewest tackles for
loss allowed (4.14) and 11th for fewest
sacks allowed (1.14) per game. The unit
also helped Tyler Gaffney run for 1,709
yards.

Cipiti died Sunday morning in Ohio, and
Jim Harbaugh spoke fondly of his grandfa-
ther Monday as the coach begins San
Franciscos preparation for the NFC cham-
pionship game Sunday in Seattle.
Along with the Harbaughs parents, Cipiti
attended last years Super Bowl in New
Orleans, where Johns Baltimore Ravens
beat Jims 49ers 34-31.
Jim Harbaugh says his grandpa watched as
San Francisco beat Green Bay in the wild-
card round Jan. 5. The coach says it was hard
leading his team during Sundays 23-10 vic-
tory at Carolina, calling his grandfather,
an amazing storyteller. He is a poet of life.
Aman that was all about family.
He will miss the memorial service Friday,
a bit of a crushing blow.

ZURICH Cristiano Ronaldo couldnt
hide how much it meant to him, nally being
voted the worlds best soccer player again.
Having spent four years in the shadow of
his great rival Lionel Messi, Ronaldo broke
down in tears after being elected the Ballon
dOr winner for 2013 on Monday a rare
display of emotion that showed just how
important it was for the Portugal winger to
get his hands on the trophy again.
Ronaldo rst won soccers biggest indi-

as Messi found a way of upstaging him each
year despite consistently scoring at an
unprecedented rate for Real Madrid.
There are no words to describe this

Cristiano, stood at his feet. The little boy
had just been hoisted by Brazil great Pele to

results when theyve won, but tend to for-
get when they lose. But there are several
who never send any results.
With only a two-person staff to cover the
entire Peninsula Athletic League as well
as several schools in the West Bay Athletic
League and Serra and Notre Dame-Belmont
out of the West Catholic Athletic League
it is impossible for us to be at every game.
And given the fact we have a ton of other
responsibilities, its difcult for us to call
every coach to track down scores.
The simplest and easiest way to increase
your teams chances of making it into the
Daily Journal is to email the results to me
and Julio Lara, the Daily Journals other
sports reporter. Not only does it allow us
to get more information out to the public
about more schools, it allows us to follow,
from afar, how well a certain team or player
is doing, which can lead to more publicity
for that team and his or her school.
Since wed rather write about a game than
simply put in a box score, please include
the nal score, score by periods (or
halves), high scorers (with rst and last
names) and some highlights from the
game. Even a simple box score is better
than nothing.
Heck, you can even tweet the info out on
Twitter. Including my Twitter handle on it
ensures that Ill get it, since my smart-
phone will alert me whenever I have a
tweet sent to me.
Also, the sooner after a game a result is
reported, the better chances of getting into
the paper the following day. I know, espe-
cially on a Friday night, coaches may have
other things on their minds like where
theyre going to dinner and what theyre
going to have. But if coaches, athletic
directors, team managers or even designat-
ed parents can send the results as soon as
possible after a game, it greatly enhances
the chances of making it in the Daily
Journal. Results can be sent to
nathan@smdailyjournal.com and
julio@smdailyjournal.com. Or, if you want
to send me a Tweet, I can be reached
@checkkthissoutt.com double k, dou-
ble s and double t. I know, its a lame
handle, but thats what I went with.
Oh, and one other thing, the Daily
Journal does not work with any other news-
paper on the Peninsula or their reporters.
We are the one of the few independently
owned newspapers in the Bay Area.
In other words, the Daily Journal sports
department does not work with Simi Lee.

If you look at this weeks boys basket-
ball schedule, youll notice Half Moon Bay
and El Camino will face off at Oracle Arena,
home of the Golden State Warriors, at
12:15 p.m. Wednesday.
That is not a misprint. In fact, its the
second year in a row the Cougars will play
a PAL game at Oracle. Last year, Half Moon
Bay easily beat Westmoor 51-33.
There are some concessions the teams
will have to make. Number one is the
pregame routine. The teams have three
hours to play a varsity and frosh-soph
game, but the arena will not open until
right around noon, so the teams will have
10 to 15 minutes of warmup time.
The schools must also buy an allotment
of 200 tickets, which are then resold at the
schools. Anoon game on Wednesday is not
a prime time to draw a lot of students or
even parents.
But the negatives are far outweighed by
the positives. The biggest being an oppor-
tunity to play on a professional court. Ill
go ahead and say this will be the only time
the players on these teams will get a
chance to do that.
Plus, the teams and their fans get to stay
for that nights Denver Nuggets-Warriors
game, which will be broadcast on ESPN.
As for the game itself, you can probably
expect an easy Half Moon Bay victory. The
Cougars are the favorites to win the PALs
North Division title and have won their
rst two league games by an average of 41
points. El Camino, on the other hand, has
lost its rst two PAL games by a combined
six points to a pair of teams that are a com-
bined 9-18.
But who knows? Maybe the Colts can
come out and stun the Cougars. It is, after
all, high school sports and if there is any-
thing I have learned in my nearly two
decades of covering prep sports includ-
ing my 13th season on the Peninsula
its that the better team does not always
win.
It usually does, however.

filed by MLB in Florida state court as part
of its Biogenesis investigation.
His lawyers criticized Michael Weiner,
the union head who died from a brain tumor
in November, for saying last summer he
recommended Rodriguez settle for a lesser
penalty if MLB were to offer an acceptable
length.
His claim is completely without merit,
and we will aggressively defend ourselves
and our members from these baseless
charges, new union head Tony Clark said
in a statement.
The players association has vigorous-
ly defended Mr. Rodriguezs rights
throughout the Biogenesis investigation,
and indeed throughout his career. Mr.
Rodriguezs allegation that the associa-
tion has failed to fairly represent him is
outrageous, and his gratuitous attacks on
our former executive director, Michael
Weiner, are inexcusable.
The suit also claimed the MLB engaged
in ethically challenged behavior and
was the source of media leaks in violation
of baseballs confidentiality rules.
Rodriguezs lawyers said Horowitz acted
with evident partiality and refused to
entertain evidence that was pertinent and
material.
They faulted Horowitz for denying
Rodriguezs request to have a different
arbitrator hear the case, for not ordering
Selig to testify and for allowing Bosch to
claim Fifth Amendment rights against
self-incrimination in refusing to answer
questions during cross-examination.

Northwest for Sundays NFC title game
the 49ers third in as many years.
Its the trip everyone has envisioned for
months now since it became clear Seattle
would win the NFC West and secure the No.
1 seed.
Long story short: They know us, we
know them, linebacker NaVorro Bowman
said. We got to go there. We all know the
history. But this is the Super Bowl.
Everything is on the line. That says it all.
Were ready. Thats all it comes down to.
The 49ers (14-4) have committed seven
turnovers and been outscored 71-16 in their
last two trips to Seattle, including an
embarrassing 29-3 defeat in September.
The memory of those visits stings.
Yet a lot has changed in four months since
San Francisco last traveled some 800 miles
up the Pacic Coast to face its archrival,
such as the 49ers 19-17 victory against the
Seahawks last month at Candlestick Park.
That game showed this team it can go back
to Seattle this time and leave with a different
result even if it thunders and rains all after-
noon.
Oh, man, this is everything. Weve
worked hard, linebacker Ahmad Brooks
said. Now we need to capitalize on what
weve been doing all year.
Be prepared from some high-octane trash
talking from both sides and even from
that raucous, tremor-causing home crowd.
Seattles secondary loves to chirp, and
49ers wideout Anquan Boldin has been talk-
ing after the play at any chance in recent
weeks.
Its playoff football. It gets chippy
between two great teams, right guard Alex
Boone said. I wouldnt expect anything
less.
Kaepernick improved to 4-1 in the post-
season 3-0 on the road with Sundays
23-10 victory at Carolina, while Harbaugh
became the rst coach since the NFLs 1970
merger to lead his team to the NFC title
game in each of his rst three years.
Kaepernick will look to bounce back from
a forgettable September performance at
CenturyLink Field.
San Francisco lost two fumbles and
Kaepernick threw three interceptions in
Week 2. On Dec. 23, 2012, a 42-13 Seattle
home win, Kaepernick had an interception
and the Niners lost a fumble.
Were a different team than we were the
first time we played them up there,
Kaepernick said. We have a lot of key play-
makers back and were ready to go.
Three of those are Boldin, Michael
Crabtree and Vernon Davis. The addition of
Crabtree to the mix since his Dec. 1 return
from a six-month recovery from Achilles
tendon surgery has changed San Franciscos
offense and passing game.
Frank Gores ability to run the 49ers right
back to a second straight Super Bowl will
play a big part in the outcome Sunday, too.
He rushed for 84 yards on 17 carries facing a
Carolina front seven among the best in
football Sunday, but was held to 16 yards on
nine carries at Seattle on Sept. 15.
Safety Donte Whitner speaks of the need
to take it away from them in Seattle,
where the Seahawks opened as 3-point
favorites and the line moved to 3 1/2 points
Monday.
We dont want it to end for us. We under-
stand that we have to go up there in a hostile
environment with a really good football
team and do what a lot of people probably
arent going to pick us to do, Whitner said.
Thats OK with us. We understand what we
have to do.
Notes: Harbaugh said the medical staff
was reviewing the MRI results on FB Will
Tukuafus injured left knee, but didnt have
an update. Im encouraged how hes mov-
ing around, Harbaugh said. Well have
more information on that.... Harbaughs
grandfather, Joe Cipiti, died Sunday morn-
ing in Ohio. Harbaugh wont make the
memorial service Friday, saying thats a
bit of a crushing blow there.

49ERS
By Tim Booth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENTON, Wash. After beating up on
each other twice earlier this season, Pete
Carroll was not surprised to see San
Francisco as the opponent coming to Seattle
for the NFC championship game.
He believes the division foes, with one of
the most heated rivalries in the NFC, meet-
ing for a trip to the Super Bowl is validation
for how good the once-mocked NFC West has
become.
This matchup is exactly what everybody
is looking for and its an exciting one with a
lot of background, Carroll said on Monday.
Im grateful its coming from our divi-
sion. I think our division really made a state-
ment this year about how good we were and
lot of losses came within the division. When
you look at it this is a fantastic matchup with
a great opportunity for both teams.
Seattle (14-3) advanced to the NFC title
game after knocking off New Orleans 23-15
in the divisional round on Saturday.
Its the second NFC championship game
appearance for Seattle and third overall hav-
ing once played for the AFC title.
There is familiarity and contempt when it
comes to San Francisco and Seattle.
Theyve played six times since San
Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh arrived
before the 2011 season with the 49ers
holding a 4-2 advantage. But of Seattles
four losses, only one the first has
been by more than seven points.
Seattle and San Francisco split the two
games this season with each winning at
home.
The Seahawks rolled to a 29-3 win in Week
2, and the 49ers kicked a late eld goal for a
19-17 win in Week 14.
Perhaps its appropriate that the series
record is tied 15-15 heading into Sunday
with more at stake than ever before.
It shows how good the NFC West has
been over the past couple of years, Seattle
quarterback Russell Wilson said.
Its going to be a great challenge for both
teams. Its going to be a physical game. Its
going to be a game where everybody knows
each other and everybody knows every-
bodys techniques so we just have to play
great football and execute and be on time
make the plays when we need to make
them.
Seattle goes into the week with two lin-
gering injury questions.
The first is with wide receiver Percy
Harvin, who made his return on Saturday and
suffered a concussion late in the rst half.
Carroll emphasized Monday they will
respect the heck out of the process for
Harvin to get cleared and said Wednesday and
Thursday will be the important days if hes
able to get back on the eld.
Harvin took two big hits in the game, the
rst coming from Rafael Bush on the third
play and drawing a 15-yard roughing penal-
t y.
Harvin also was hit by Malcolm Jenkins
as he hit the eld on the play he was injured.
Before he was injured, Harvin showed the
ashes Seattle believed it was getting in
mass quantity when it traded for him during
the offseason.
Seattle not suprised to see 49ers again

WHATS ON TAP
shown tremendous growth in his
senior season. Always a dynamic
talent, Schnabel has tapped into a
deeper soccer Zen and a love for
playing alongside his Serra team-
mates, Panos said. All this has
translated into an insane 29 goals
and a 7-1-1 overall record for the
Padres.
The thing that sets him apart
from other great strikers is his
lack of ego, Panos said. Nick is
unique because hes not out there
for the numbers or the win and
losses, so much. Hes the ultimate
teammate. He loves to compete
but he know that the team cant
accomplish as much without each
other. He loves playing with his
friends. Its like when you were lit-
tle, playing in the streets until
mom or dad called you back
inside.
Schnabel began and nished the
Serra scoring in a 5-2 win over
Sacred Heart Cathedral to begin
the week. His goal four minutes in
kept the Padres and their offense
true to form as theyve been scor-
ing goals early on in games which
tend to deate the opposition.
But, it was his nal tally that
was world class. Serra defender
Alex Avila sent a long clearing
ball out of the Padres defense end
past mideld. Schnabel ran onto
the ball, controlling it with his
back to the goal and a defender on
him. Schnabel scooped the ball up
with his foot, juggled it three
times as he made the turn to his
right. He beat the defender and
slotted a shot past the sliding
goalkeeper and into the net for the
Padres fth goal of the game.
Panos said Schnabel has been
scoring in all sorts of ways this
season. Against St. Francis, again
with a couple of defenders latched
on top of him, he managed to beat
a typically tough defense with a
laser beam some ve yards outside
the penalty box. It was a goal that
showed his soccer intellect and
physical growth.
We can hurt teams a multitude of
ways, Panos said. Thats not
something we had consistently
last year. He sets a nice tone for us.
He produces at the right time and
makes everyone better.

By Hamza Hendawi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO Egyptians are being asked
to vote this week on a vision of their
nations future sponsored by the power-
ful military, a two-day election widely
seen as a referendum on a likely presi-
dential run by the countrys top general
but held in a climate of fear and intim-
idation.
An astounding 160,000 soldiers and
200,000 policemen were expected to
deploy across Egypt on Tuesday and
Wednesday to guard polling stations and
voters following months of violence
that authorities have blamed on Islamic
militants. Supporters of Mohammed
Morsi, the Islamist president ousted in a
coup last summer, have said they would
stage massive demonstrations and boy-
cott the vote on a new constitution.
In many ways, Egypt looks more like
a country going to war rather than one
preparing for what is supposedly a tran-
sition to democratic rule. The govern-
ment and the overwhelmingly pro-mili-
tary media have portrayed the balloting
as the key to the nations security and
stability over which there can be no dis-
sent.
Hundreds of thousands of iers,
posters, banners and billboards exhort
Egyptians to vote yes. Posters urging
a no vote have led to arrests.
There appears to be a conviction
among security officers that there
should be zero accommodation for
anyone who wants a no vote, said
Heba Morayef, the Egypt director for
Human Rights Watch.
Authorities have threatened legal
proceedings against the owners of
cyber cafes, presses and stationery
stores if they allow use of their facili-
ties for the production of no iers or
posters, according to security ofcials.
They said police commanders have
instructed ofcers to arrest anyone dis-
tributing leaets or hanging banners
against the draft charter. The ofcials
spoke on condition of anonymity in
exchange for discussing security opera-
tions.
We are trying to mobilize the yes
vote. Anyone doing the opposite is a
traitor and an American agent, said
Mohammed Hamdy, a politician and
local dignitary from the city of Assiut,
an Islamist stronghold with a large
Christian community south of Cairo.
In Washington, U.S. State
Department deputy spokeswoman Marie
Harf said Monday: Were deeply con-
cerned by reports of ongoing arrests for
campaigning for a no vote on the con-
stitutional referendum. We are also
deeply troubled by reports that at least
one individual was beaten during his
arrest.
Egypt holds key vote in climate of fear
New law in Nigeria bans gay meetings
LAGOS, Nigeria A new law in Nigeria, signed by the
president without announcement, has made it illegal for gay
people to even hold a meeting. The Same Sex Marriage
Prohibition Act also criminalizes homosexual clubs, asso-
ciations and organizations, with penalties of up to 14 years
in jail.
The act has drawn international condemnation from coun-
tries such as the United States and Britain.
Some Nigerian gays already have ed the country because
of intolerance of their sexual persuasion, and more are con-
sidering leaving, if the new law is enforced, human rights
activist Olumide Makanjuola said recently.
Nigerias law is not as draconian as a Ugandan bill passed
by parliament last month which would punish aggravated
homosexual acts with life in prison. It awaits the presi-
dents signature.
But Nigerias law reects a highly religious and conserva-
tive society that considers homosexuality a deviation.
Nigeria is one of 38 African countries about 70 percent of
the continent that have laws persecuting gay people,
according to Amnesty International.
The Associated Press on Monday obtained a copy of the
Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act, which was signed by
President Goodluck Jonathan and dated Jan. 7.
Thai protesters block
roads in bid to shut capital
BANGKOK Anti-government protesters seized key
intersections across Thailands capital on Monday,
blockading major roads into the heart of Bangkoks down-
town districts at the start of a renewed push to derail elec-
tions next month and overthrow the prime minister.
The protesters vowed to shut down the city of 12 mil-
lion people, but life continued normally in most places,
with the majority of businesses and shops open.
The intensied protests were peaceful and even festive, as
vast swarms of people blew whistles, waved Thai ags and
spread out tents and picnic mats at seven key crossroads
where demonstrators wearing bandanas and sunglasses
turned cars back.

STAFF AND WIRE REPORT
With u season in full swing and
more than a dozen u-related deaths
reported in the Bay Area as of Monday,
many residents are getting vaccinated,
and flu shot providers are ordering
extra doses to keep up with demand.
There have been 15 conrmed u
deaths in the Bay Area so far, with one
more each reported Monday in San
Mateo and Santa Cruz counties and two
more in Santa Clara County.
In San Mateo County, there have
been two deaths including one reported

medical conditions but the other did
not. Both are conrmed H1N1 cases.
The county also has six flu-related
intensive care unit hospitalizations as

there have been four u deaths this sea-
son, including the two reported yester-
day. Those two victims were 61 and 62
years old.

ofcials said.
The deaths of two other males under
50 in the county are suspected of being

rmed, according to the county.
Other deaths have been reported in
Sonoma, Santa Clara, San Mateo,
Marin, Contra Costa, San Francisco

Many get flu vaccine as more deaths reported

WASHINGTON Its an older, costlier
crowd thats signing up so far for health
insurance under President Barack Obamas
law, according to government figures
released Monday. Enrollments are lower for
the healthy, younger Americans who will be
needed to keep premiums from rising.
Young adults from 18 to 34 are only 24
percent of total enrollment, the administra-
tion said in its rst signup gures broken
down for age, gender and other details. Wi t h
the HealthCare.gov website now working,
the gures cover the more than 2 million
Americans who had signed up for govern-
ment-subsidized private insurance through
the end of December in new federal and state
markets.
Enrolling young and healthy people is
important because they generally pay more
into the system than they take out, subsi-
dizing older adults. While 24 percent is not
a bad start, say independent experts, it
should be closer to 40 percent to help keep
premiums down.
Adults ages 55-64 were the most heavily
represented in the signups, accounting for
33 percent of the total. Overall, the premi-
ums paid by people in that demographic
dont fully cover their medical expenses.
Some are in the waiting room for Medicare;
that coverage starts at age 65.
Some questions remained unanswered.
For example, the administration is unable
to say how of many of those enrolling for
coverage had been previously uninsured.
Some might have been among the more
than 4.7 million insured people whose pre-
vious policies were canceled because they
didnt meet the laws standards.
The uninsured folks for whom the law
was intended dont seem to have signed up
in nearly as high numbers, said Richard
Foster, a former statistics chief for the
Health and Human Services department.
There is still a huge unknown aspect to
this.
But even if the age mix remains tilted
toward older adults, its nothing of the sort
that would trigger instability in the sys-
tem, said Larry Levitt, an insurance expert
with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family
Foundation. Premiums would go up next
year for the overhaul, along with taxpayer
costs per enrollee, but not enough to push
the system into a death spiral in which
rising premiums discourage healthy people
from signing up.
Levitt and other experts expected older,
sicker people to be more heavily represent-
ed in the early numbers. They would have
had strong motivation to persevere in the
face of website dysfunction.
Still, he said it underscores a need to
heighten outreach efforts to young people.
Adults ages 18-34 represent 40 percent of
the target group for the health care law,
according to a recent Kaiser study. Open
enrollment ends March 31.
Considering that the federal health care
website was down most of the time in
October, administration ofcials said they
were pleased that the percentage of young
adults was as high as it was.
We think that more and more young peo-
ple are going to sign up as time goes by,
said Gary Cohen, head of the HHS ofce in
charge of Obamas push to cover the unin-
sured. And theres a hammer, too: Those
who fail to sign up face a tax penalty in
2015 for being uninsured.
With Mondays numbers, a fuller picture
has started to emerge of whos signing up.
Some of the highlights:
The administration continues to play
catch-up. Originally, ofcials hoped to sign
up more than 3.3 million people through
the end of 2013, nearly halfway to the goal
of 7 million enrollments by the end of
March. Instead, enrollment as of Dec. 31
was not quite 2.2 million.
Fifty-four percent of those who signed
up were women, a slightly higher propor-
tion of females than in the population.
Nearly four out of ve who signed up got
nancial help with their premiums.
The most popular coverage option was a
so-called silver plan, which covers about

70 percent of expected medical costs.
Three out of five people picked silver. One
in five picked a lower-cost bronze plan.
Only 13 percent picked gold, which most
closely compares to the typical employer
plan. Another 7 percent went for top-tier
platinum plans, and about 1 percent picked
skimpy catastrophic plans available
only to certain groups of people, including
those under 30.
Afew states accounted for a huge share
of the enrollment. California alone had 23
percent of the signups. California, New
York, Florida, Texas and North Carolina
accounted for nearly half the total.
Officials remain confident theyll be
able to get young adults interested.
Insurers, nonprofit groups, and advocates
are moving ahead with marketing cam-
paigns that were put on hold when the fed-
eral website that serves 36 states was
struggling.
Administration officials said that in the
coming weeks they plan to increase out-
reach to young people in 25 communities
located in states served by the federal web-
site. That effort includes a national youth
enrollment day on Feb. 15 and targeted
outreach by sororities and fraternities, as
well as Voto Latino, which focuses on
Hispanic youth.
In Miami, 19-year-old college student
Stacy Sylvain was one of the last-minute
online signups as 2013 drew to a close. In
about an hour, the part-time waitress
signed up for a plan with a $158 monthly
premium, with the feds kicking in $48.
She has a $2,500 deductible. Sylvain said
she had no trouble navigating the website.
Many people have a preconceived
notion that young people are healthy and
dont need to go to the doctor, said
Sylvain, who suffered a minor injury when
she fell and hit her head during an indoor
soccer class in 2012. Not having to worry
about being uninsured and the what-ifs has
made an incredible impact on my life.

ing the couple back to the airport fell asleep
at the wheel and crashed. The aftermath
forced Foreman to eventually nd forgive-
ness for the driver for his friend and direc-
tor of his ministry which was no easy
task, even for a man of fervent faith.
Foreman also promised to continue his late
wifes dream, which was establishing a stu-
dent training center and hotel catering to
the University of Rwanda students and even-
tually, hopefully, becoming self-sufcient.
This month, Foreman is back in Rwanda
with his two grown sons to dedicate the cen-
ter with a plaque bearing Kims name and
participate in an international conference
that is also drawing two pastors from
Central Peninsula Church in Foster City.
Foreman also hopes to nd a little closure
on that chapter of his life.
Land of extremes
Butare, Rwanda, is beautiful, Foreman
said.
The elevation is 6,000 which mediates
the climate and provides a home for the
mountain gorilla. It is also home to people
of two extremes, the urban poor and rural
bush poor, who nonetheless are welcoming
and generous, he remembers.
Kim used to tell people you go with suit-
cases of good and bring back suitcases of
love, Foreman said.
It is also the land of genocide in 1994 that
still scars the county. The genocide was the
worst holocaust since World War II,
Foreman said.
The seeds really started at the university
with racial superiority which is why,
Foreman said, he and his wife agreed change
would come on the intellectual level rather
than simply improving the infrastructure
with orphanages and schools. There is all
kinds of money available but, with a corrupt
government, it is like pouring water into a
bottomless cup, he said.
The desire to minister to the university
students and eventually build the center was
a very strategic decision. Get students into
non-governmental organizations and non-
prots, get them in key positions, ght bad
governance with the seeds of religion plant-
ed early.
Multi-level trip
Kim Foreman, a university professor, had
been to Rwanda in 1998.
I made the mistake of saying if you ever
go there again Ill go with you, her hus-
band, now 64, remembers with a chuckle.
In 2001, the couple traveled to Butare
with Christian Life World Mission
Frontiers and was hooked. This recent trip
marks his 19th visit.
The trek from the afuent Peninsula to the
small African nation is like going to the
bottom of the ocean, Foreman said.
First you put on your deep sea gear in
this case, packing. Then go down a little
which means ying to Dulles Airport in
Washington, D.C., near where one son
lives. Then on to the continent, to Ethiopia
and then a bus ride to Butare. At the airport,
he expects to be greeted by Murenzi, his
former minister and the driver at the wheel
when Kim died.
After the accident, Foreman never thought
he could forgive him. He red Murenzi and
couldnt move beyond the loss of his part-
ner of 36 years. He eventually rehired
Murenzi in hopes of smoothing construc-
tion complications when workers in Butare
felt he was acting unfair toward his former
friend. The actual feeling of forgiveness did-
nt come until later, after Foreman returned
to Rwanda to lay a plaque at the spot of the
fatal crash in his wifes memory. In that
crowd, he saw again the people who had
helped that day, the man who cut him free
from his seat belt, the individuals who
helped his wife into the ambulance.
Foreman said that is when he returned to
himself and forgave.
The grief is there. Its just a scar, he
said.
Planned ceremony
The planned dedication ceremony includ-
ed remarks by Foreman and his brother
Frank who took a bigger role with nonprof-
it Come & See Africa after his sister-in-
laws passing. Foreman is the executive
director of the organization that launched in
2005 and sponsors short-term mission
trips. The ministry also runs The
Lighthouse gathering place in Butare,
Rwanda and within it the Kim Foreman
Bible Institute.
Also at the ceremony, his one son, the
artist, is dedicating a piece and the other, a
doctoral student, will speak. They will lay a
plaque bearing her photo, a memorial to the
woman who died at 59 and the goals she had
for this facility.
The couple began construction in 2007
until money fell off in the 2010 recession.
Foreman used some of the insurance money
from his wifes death to continue the work;
he never wanted to prot, he said.
The result is a building up to four stories
what is possible in a country where all
construction is rebar and concrete with a
roof from Kenya and cargo containers from
San Lorenzo.
The building isnt 100 percent done, but
close, and the classrooms are ready for the
East Africa Christian Apologetics
Conference which is held at The Lighthouse
every January.
The rst oor will be classroom and an
auditorium topped by guest rooms and a
restaurant. The top oor is open, maybe
perfect for weddings. Eventually, the goal is
to generate enough money to cover its
expenses and possibly even turn a small
prot.
I dont want Americans sending money
to Rwanda forever, Foreman said.
When Foreman returns from this trip, he
plans to take a time-out for a couple of
years. He made a commitment to his new
wife of one year to do so. One small step
away was when Kim died; a bigger one is
this dedication. But he knows hell eventu-
ally be back.
Its part of my blood and part of what I
do, he said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STOCKHOLM Nine women in Sweden
have successfully received transplanted
wombs donated from relatives in an experi-
mental procedure that has raised some ethi-
cal concerns. The women will soon try to
become pregnant with their new wombs,
the doctor in charge of the pioneering proj-
ect has revealed.
The women were born without a uterus or
had it removed because of cervical cancer.
Most are in their 30s and are part of the rst
major experiment to test whether its possi-
ble to transplant wombs into women so
they can give birth to their own children.
In many European countries, including
Sweden, using a surrogate to carry a preg-
nancy isnt allowed.
Life-saving transplants of organs such as
hearts, livers and kidneys have been done
for decades and doctors are increasingly
transplanting hands, faces and other body
parts to improve patients quality of life.
Womb transplants the rst ones intended
to be temporary, just to allow childbearing
push that frontier even farther and raise
some new concerns.
There have been two previous attempts to
transplant a womb in Turkey and Saudi
Arabia but both failed to produce babies.
Scientists in Britain, Hungary and else-
where are also planning similar operations
but the efforts in Sweden are the most
advanced.
This is a new kind of surgery, Dr. Mats
Brannstrom told The Associated Press in an
interview from Goteborg. We have no text-
book to look at.
Brannstrom, chair of the obstetrics and
gynecology department at the University of
Gothenburg, is leading the initiative. Next
month, he and colleagues will run the rst-
ever workshop on how to perform womb
transplants and they plan to publish a sci-
entic report on their efforts soon.
Some experts have raised concerns about
whether its ethical to use live donors for an
experimental procedure that doesnt save
lives. But John Harris, a bioethics expert at
the University of Manchester, didnt see a
problem with that as long as donors are
fully informed. He said donating kidneys
isnt necessarily life-saving, yet is widely
promoted.
Dialysis is available, but we have come
to accept and to even encourage people to
take risks to donate a kidney, he said.
Brannstrom said the nine womb recipi-
ents are doing well. Many already had their
periods six weeks after the transplants, an
early sign that the wombs are healthy and
functioning. One woman had an infection
in her newly received uterus and others had
some minor rejection episodes, but none of
the recipients or donors needed intensive
care after the surgery, Brannstrom said. All
left the hospital within days.
None of the women who donated or
received wombs has been identified. The
transplants began in September 2012
and the donors include mothers and other
relatives of the recipients. The team had
initially planned to do 10 transplants,
but one woman couldnt proceed due to
medical reasons, university spokesman
Krister Svahn said.
The transplant operations did not connect
the womens uteruses to their fallopian
tubes, so they are unable to get pregnant
naturally. But all who received a womb have
their own ovaries and can make eggs.
Before the operation, they had some
removed to create embryos through in-vitro
fertilization. The embryos were then frozen
and doctors plan to transfer them into the
new wombs, allowing the women to carry
their own biological children.
The transplants have ignited hope among
women unable to have children because
they lost a uterus to cancer or were born
without one. About one in girl in 4,500 is
born with a syndrome, known as MRKH,
where she doesnt have a womb.
Lise Gimre, 35, who was born without a
womb, said she thought many women with
MRKH would be interested if the operation
proves to be safe and effective. Gimre runs
an organization for women with the syn-
drome in Norway.
If this had been possible when I was
younger, no doubt I would have been inter-
ested, she said. Gimre, who has two foster
children, said the only option for women
like her to have biological children is via
surrogacy, which is illegal in many
European countries, including Norway and
Sweden.
Fertility experts have hailed the project
as significant but stress its unknown
whether the transplants will result in
healthy babies.
The technique used in Sweden, using live
donors, is somewhat controversial. In
Britain, doctors are also planning to per-
form uterus transplants, but will only use
wombs from dying or dead people. That was
also the case in Turkey. Last year, Turkish
doctors announced their patient got preg-
nant but the pregnancy failed after two
months.
Mats has done something amazing and
we understand completely why he has taken
this route, but we are wary of that
approach, said Dr. Richard Smith, head of
the U.K. charity Womb Transplant UK,
which is trying to raise 500,000 pounds
($823,000) to carry out ve operations in
Britain.
He said removing a womb for donation is
like a radical hysterectomy but it requires
taking a bigger chunk of the surrounding
blood vessels to ensure adequate blood ow,
raising the risk of complications for the
donor. Smith said British ofcials dont
consider it ethical to let donors take such
chances for an operation that isnt consid-
ered life-saving.
Smith said the biggest question is how
any pregnancies will proceed.
The principal concern for me is if the
baby will get enough nourishment from the
placenta and if the blood flow is good
enough, he said.
All of the women who received womb
transplants will need to take anti-rejection
medicines, but Smith said data from women
who have received kidney transplants does-
nt suggest their babies are at any increased
risk from the drugs.
Brannstrom said using live donors
allowed them to ensure the donated wombs
were functional and didnt have any prob-
lems like an HPV infection.

reapply, but the property was no longer
for sale. CSUS surprised the council last
November when it announced it had pur-
chased the property, a risky move not
having entitlements.
Although most of the application is a
replica of the 2012 original, CSUS will
essentially be starting from scratch.
The application looks remarkably
similar to the one we proposed in
August of 2012. The terms are the same,
except were proposing an indoor
swimming pool and to conduct a new
trafc survey, said Jill Grossman, a
member of the CSUS Board of Trustees.
The school is proposing to demolish
the current 84,500 square feet of com-
mercial office space and construct
60,000 square feet of school facilities
comprised of a main academic building,
a gymnasium and an outdoor synthetic
athletic field, according to a CSUS
application letter.
The buildings would primarily be two
stories and the design would achieve the
equivalent of an environmentally
friendly LEED Silver rating, according
to the letter.
In its original application, it pro-
posed constructing an outdoor pool at a
later date. However, an indoor pool
would help to mitigate noise concerns,
Grossman said.
The school also plans on incorporat-
ing more recent trafc data into its new
survey to address residents concerns
about the impacts related to its pro-
posed facility, Grossman said.
Conducting a trafc survey needs to
involve input from those who under-
stand it best, the residents, said Mayor
Warren Lieberman.
I think how they may address the
trafc concerns is probably a dialogue
that they need to have with the commu-
nity. The community understands the
trafc problems and [is] in a stronger
position to suggest how trafc prob-
lems can be mitigated, Lieberman
said.
Councilman Eric Reed hopes CSUS
will remain diligent in working closely
with the city and residents.
Resident concerns need to be
addressed by the CSUS proposal. So Im
glad that theyre taking it seriously,
Reed said.
Being a good neighbor is at the crux
of CSUSs application, Grossman said.
In resuming this application we
know that noise is a concern, so we
want to be sure were listening to our
neighbors and working with the city,
Grossman said.
The city will be able to reap benet s
from the deal, including a one-time pay-
ment of $1 million and $250,000 per
year in-lieu of property taxes,
Grossman said.
We believe its going to bring a ben-
et to Belmont, and obviously bring a
benet to CSUS. In terms of benets to
Belmont, outside of the obvious nan-
cial benet, theyll be able to share our
all-weather soccer field, Grossman
said.
Through a joint-use agreement with
the Belmont Parks and Recreation
Department, the synthetic turf soccer
eld would be accessible to the public
on weekends and three weeks during the
summer, according to the letter.
Belmont can also capitalize on
resources CSUS is expending on evalu-
ating trafc problems within the sur-
rounding area, Lieberman said.
[CSUS is] not the cause of the cur-
rent traffic problems. But I believe
between the nancial aspects and what
they do, they may be able to help us
with some of the trafc problems that
we have today, Lieberman said.
It will take time for the issues sur-
rounding a large development like
CSUS is proposing to be resolved,
however Lieberman is excited because
its a discussion that the council was
never allowed to have the rst time
around.
Im thrilled that CSUS remains inter-
ested in locating a middle school in
Belmont. I know that there is a lot of
interest on the part of the community in
seeing whether or not an arrangement
can be constructed that will be good for
the community as well as for CSUS,
Lieberman said. I believe that is possi-
ble and I look forward to the potential
discussion at the council level.
A signicant amount of time will
pass before Belmont welcomes CSUS
as new neighbors. Before a genuine
timeline is developed, the school will
start by paying $48,000 to begin an
environmental study after which itll
need to be approved, de Melo said.

CSUS
tainment uses in a mixed-use develop-
ment have yet to materialize for the area
which is the largest multi-agency trans-
portation center west of the Mississippi
River. Site One hasnt been actively
worked on since 2006.
Republic Urban Properties hopes to
develop Sites Five and Six of the current
plan, which are owned by BART. The
BART-selected developer has proposed a
mixed-use project containing ofce,
multi-family residential units, an
extended stay hotel and retail on 10
acres. It calls for 263 dwelling units,
136,600 square feet of commercial
space, 84,880 square feet of retail space
and 110 hotel rooms. The project would
displace several hundred of BARTs
existing surface parking spaces and
would impact existing SamTrans bus
parking and service. However, the
details regarding the amount of parking
that will be replaced and the potential
relocation of the bus intermodal facility
to the west side are to be determined,
according to the report.
The second application is coming
from Serra Station Properties and is on a
portion of Site One comprising the old
Millbrae lumberyard and Serra
Convalescent Home. The proposal is
for a mixed-use project containing
ofce, multi-family residential units and
commercial space on 3.5 acres. The pro-
posal offers a variety of building
options, including one that follows the
current area specic plan and would build
271,868 square feet of ofce space and
24,220 square feet of retail space. Other
options include modifying the plan and
including 500 dwelling units, 916,000
square feet of ofce space, 75,000 square
feet of retail space and 134 hotel rooms,
according to the report.
This is very exciting for or city and
the community of Millbrae, said
Councilwoman Marge Colapietro. Its
been many years in the making and,
unless we take this step, we cannot
move Millbrae forward. Both develop-
ments have goals of mixed-use, transit-
oriented development with great poten-
tial for increasing tax revenues for our
city operations.
The amendments requested relate to
allowing building heights to be raised
to the maximum permitted by the
Federal Aviation Administration,
increasing land use density or the oor
area ratio, allowing for a form-based
code based on physical form to be
applied and other changes. The city is
keeping the Planning Center | Design
Community and Environment, the
citys consultant on the project site, in
charge of project management.
Due to the signicance of these proj-
ects regarding the land use, trafc/circu-
lation, scal/nancial and public
impacts, signicant emphasis in the
analysis of these projects will be devot-
ed to: market area trends and scal
impact, circulation system modeling, a
master EIR and public outreach, the
report states.
Councilman Reuben Holober agreed
with both Oliva and Colapietro on the
signicance of the potential plans.
Its denitely an important step; it
was one of my goals running [for
ofce], Holober said. Other coun-
cilmembers would like to see movement
on Site One. We want to make sure the
best plan is utilized for that area.
Both projects received Notices of
Determination of Completeness on Jan.
3 for having complete applications,
including all required application forms,
drawings, notations and fees. TPC |
DC&E will be in charge of guiding a
technically sound and time sensitive
amendment and environmental review
process, working with all parties to
dene a locally benecial and regional-
ly valuable district, providing technical
information and unbiased rec-
ommendations, providing
solutions to potential con-
icts, organizing research
and preparing documents,
facilitating community out-
reach and assessing public
input, along with educating
and presenting to the public,
Planning Commission and
the City Council.
There would also be two
public meetings to identify
community issues. The tenta-
tive deadline for nalizing the
amendments to the area spe-
cic plan and EIR is December
2014. The $899,686 costs
will be split between the two
applicants, 55 percent for
Republic Union and 45 per-
cent for Serra Station on the
basis of the maximum devel-
opment square footage
requested and a costs share for
the BARTAccess Plan.
The City Council meets 7
p.m. tonight at Council
Chambers, 621 Magnolia
Ave. in Millbrae.

PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT REPORT
The Burlingame School District has prepared a Preliminary Environmental Assessment
(PEA) Report in accordance with Education Code section 1.7213.1(a)(4)(B). The School District
has submitted the PEA Report to the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) for review
and has chosen to make the PEA Report available for public review and comment pursuant to
Education Code section 17213.1(a)(6)((A) .
Project Designation:
Hoover Elementary School
2220 Summit Drive
Burlingame, California
Project location:
The approximately 6.99-acre site is located at 2220 Summit Drive in Burlingame, California. Prior
to starting recent construction activities, the property was developed with an approximately
18,000 square foot two story Main Building, an approximately 3,300 square foot one story Annex
Building, and asphalt pavement parking lot. The Site is currently an active construction project for
the development of the new school campus. Land use in the general Site vicinity is residential.
The site is owned by the Burlingame School District.
Description of Assessment:
Soil samples collected from the site were analyzed for chlorinated pesticides, lead, and naturally
occurring asbestos. Concentrations of these target chemicals were either not detected, or were
detected at concentrations below residential screening levels for unrestricted use. Based on this
data, the site does not pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment and ap-
pears suitable to accommodate Burlingame School District's school development plans. The PEA
report recommends DTSC consider a No Further Action determination for the Site.
The PEA and Supporting Documents are Available for Review at:
Burlingame School District, 1825 Trousdale Drive, Burlingame, California 94010

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
OFELIA GONZALEZ
Case Number: 124037
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Ofelia Gonzalez. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Auturo
Gonzalez in the Superior Court of Cali-
fornia, County of San Mateo. The Peti-
tion for Probate requests that Auturo
Gonzalez be appointed as personal rep-
resentative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: February 3, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal qutho-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable in California law.
203 Public Notices
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
