OFFICIAL: EGYPTIAN VOTERS HAVE BACKED NEW
CONSTITUTION
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its ofcial San Mateo County will
receive a hefty nancial infusion from the
state to expand its existing county jail to
better accommodate mentally ill inmates
and the longer-staying population that
would have been housed in prison prior to
criminal justice realignment.
The Board of State and
Community Corrections
executive steering com-
mittee recommended the
$500 million award to 15
counties, including San
Mateo, in December. On
Thursday, the full board
confirmed the funding
recommendation.
This is really good news, said Sheriff
Greg Munks.
Assistant Sheriff Trish Sanchez represent-
ed the county at the board meeting and
reported the vote was a little touch and go
because of other counties wanting to
change the allocations or postpone the
vote but that ultimately the recommenda-
tion stood. San Mateo Countys portion is
more than $24 million for the Maguire
Correctional Facility on Bradford Street.
The projects include converting the jails
now-dormant treatment center into a
Critical Treatment Center for the most
severely mentally ill, changing one 80-bed
pod used for general population into a 40-
bed treatment section for the less acute men-
tally ill, a new recreation yard for newly

The State Board of Education unani-
mously approved the regulations, which
were required under a school finance
reform bill championed by Gov. Jerry Brown and passed by
the Legislature last year, after hearing from more than 320
superintendents, school board members, parents, students
and other supporters of the potentially historic redistribu-
tion model.
Speakers were divided, however, over whether the propos-
al struck the right balance between giving educators in the

Sequoia Union High School District

Some concerned about students switching schools

Maps of new boundary lines aimed at addressing over-
crowding in the Sequoia Union High School District are

are worried it will mean their kids will have to go to Sequoia
High School instead of Menlo-Atherton High School,

As Martin Luther King Jr. Day approaches, local charita-
ble organizations, churches and young people are planning
on following in the footsteps of the late reverend by using
the holiday to inspire others to give back to their commu-
nities.

Association will be holding an award ceremony for its 31st
annual MLK Essay and Poetry contest for children ages pre-
school to 12th-grade, the Unitarian Universalists of San
Mateo will hold its annual reception party and on Monday,

Hillside homes in question
The week of Jan. 17, 2009, ques-
tions regarding trafc, open space and
stress on an already taxed
Hillsborough school system sur-
rounded a proposal to build 25 homes
on a 48-acre estate near Crystal
Springs Reservoir.
Third-generation
Hillsborough resident
Christian de Guigne IV
submitted a proposal to
the town of Hillsborough Dec. 30,
2008, to subdivide his property for
25 more homes. The property is nes-
tled between Crystal Springs Road
and Parrott Drive and bordered by the
city of San Mateo to the east. It is
considered by some as the last great
family estate on the Midpeninsula.
Residents, however, were concerned
25 new homes would mean dozens
more cars traveling on an already
crowded thoroughfare. They are also
concerned new homes would disrupt
views on the scenic hillside, create
re hazards, disrupt an unique envi-
ronmental habitat and tax an already
overtaxed school system.
Turf project moving ahead
Plans to renovate a Highlands Park
athletic eld with synthetic turf did
not need a full environmental impact
report, according to the San Carlos
City Council which unanimously
agreed the week of Jan. 17, 2009, to
move the project along with a miti-
gated negative declaration.
The decision meant construction
could have still nished in 2009
nine years after the city began
mulling articial versus natural sod.
More environmental
review could have
pushed it back until
2010 and tacked on an
extra $75,000 for pro-
cessing a full EIR.
Councilman gets jail time
Belmont Councilman Bill
Dickenson, who maintained his inno-
cence all through trial to allegations
he assaulted his former girlfriend and
business partner, was sentenced the
week of Jan. 17, 2009, to 20 days
jail, 36 months of probation and 104
hours of domestic violence counsel-
i ng.
The sentence followed the recom-
mendation of the Probation
Department.
Dickenson told the court during
sentencing he already started his
mandated counseling. His jail term,
for which he received one days credit,
was likely to be served through the
Sheriffs Work Program, an alterna-
tive to jail that can include picking
up trash or ling paperwork.
Dickenson was also ordered to spend
18 months on supervised probation
followed by 18 months of court pro-
bation and pay the victim $2,697 in
restitution for attorney fees.
Dickenson was reportedly offered a
negotiated deal in the case but instead
opted for jury trial on the two misde-
meanors. In November, a jury deliber-
ated just more than an hour before
nding Dickenson guilty. Aweek
later, Dickenson, then-
vice mayor of Belmont,
was passed over for the
mayor position.
Speier, Eshoo call
for bailout of local government
Legislation introduced the week of
Jan. 17, 2009, by U.S. reps. Jackie
Speier, D-San Mateo, and Anna
Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, was aimed to
direct millions of dollars to local
cities, counties, school districts and
transportation agencies that lost
money when Lehman Brothers col-
lapsed.
The Equitable Treatment of State
and Local Governments Act of 2009
was to direct the Secretary of the
Treasury to purchase troubled assets
from state and local governments
using money from the Troubled
Assets Recovery Program, or TARP. It
would mean many capital improve-
ments put on hold late the prior year
by local agencies could resume with
little or no effect on the projects.

The San Mateo County Community
College District will have a hearing to
decide if it can proceed with plans to demol-
ish a 50-year-old garden and replace it with
a parking lot, according to the California
Supreme Court.
The court Wednesday granted the district a
review of its appeal of earlier judicial rul-
ings blocking the demolition and ordering
more environmental study.
The district greeted the courts latest deci-
sion with satisfaction.
We are very pleased that that the
California State Supreme Court elected to
review our case. From the beginning, we
have been certain that we have acted legally
under [California Environmental Quality
Act] laws and believe the Supreme Court
will validate our position, said Chancellor
Ron Galatolo.
Susan Brandt-Hawley, the attorney for the
students and garden supporters who sued,
also said the review is exciting and that
the group and she is looking forward to it.
Its a very important issue and the ruling
can affect cases statewide on issues of what
can be treated as new and what is modica-
tion of a prior project, Brandt-Hawley said.
Wednesdays ruling by the states highest
court is the latest wrinkle in the tug-of-war
over the gardens fate. In 2011, after the
College of San Mateos horticulture pro-
gram ended due to low enrollment, the dis-
trict moved to demolish the Building 20
Complex which includes the gardens to
make room for a surface parking lot with
between 140 and 160 spaces.
The 2006 district master plan called for
renovating the building and saving the gar-
den which has more than 300 plant vari-
eties. Instead, the district said the plan was
too minor for a full-scale review of the envi-
ronmental impacts.
Supporters of the garden sued over the
lack of an environmental impact report
which led to both a county judge in 2012
and a state appellate court last October to
put the brakes on demolition and order a
public-involved environmental study. The
hearing unanimously ordered Wednesday
will determine if the district can continue
forward without that previously mandated
study.
A hearing date was not scheduled but
Brandt-Hawley estimates the process of
briefs and arguments to take at least a year.

The annual Western Workers Labor
Heritage Festival will be hosting an art-
inspired event over Martin Luther King Jr.
weekend to honor the leaders contribution
to the civil rights and labor movement.
The event is about solidarity and bring-
ing people together to share experiences
and getting down to learning about issues
that workers are facing and struggles that
are currently going on, said David Winters,
founding member and festival organizer.
The 28th annual festival which began in
1986 aims to raise awareness for workers in
the greater Bay Area and explore topics sur-
rounding social justice and economic
change during an era of hard times and uncer-
tainty, Winters said.
The festival was founded out of union
roots but is not directly tied with unions,
Winters said. Still, he said contributions
from the events do go toward working fami-
lies in need. This years proceeds from the
Sunday evening benefit concert will go
toward the Second Harvest Food Bank.
Not everyone is union but there are peo-
ple that are concerned about workers and
their lives, Winters said. It affects every-
one.
Beginning on Friday, Jan. 17, the festi-
val, which is open to the public, includes
workshops, documentary lm screenings,
music, poetry swaps and artwork.
It is important to use culture and the arts,
(they) lend themselves to help us learn
about things, said Winters.
On Jan. 18 and 19, the workshops will
feature performances by the New York City
Labor Chorus, Rockin Solidarity Labor
Heritage Chorus and singer/songwriter
Jimmy Collier. There will also be screen-
ings of documentaries such as, Dirty Wars
by Jeremy Scahill and Brother Outsider, a
film about civil and gay rights activist
Bayard Rustin.
Western Workers Labor Heritage Festival
will be held Jan. 17, 18 and 19 at the
Machinists Hall, IAM Local 1781 at 1511
Rollins Road in Burlingame. Ashuttle will
be provided at the Millbrae BART and
Caltrain station. For more information go

Woman arrested at SFO for
fraud, burglary, identity theft
A San Leandro woman was arrested at a
San Francisco International Airport rental
car facility early Tuesday morning for
attempting to rent a vehicle with a fake ID
and credit cards, according to the San
Mateo County Sheriffs Office.
At approximately 12:14 a.m., the woman,
identified as Chantel Falcon, 51, was
arrested for presenting a fraudulent credit
card not in her name to rent a vehicle,
according to police.
The California drivers license had been
reported stolen in an auto burglary in
Oakland, according to police.
She later admitted her true identity and a
$10,000 arrest warrant was located under
her true name, according to police.
She had rented a vehicle earlier in the day
from the Oakland International Airport
using the same fake ID and credit card. She
was booked into San Mateo County Jail
for burglary, identity theft, fraudulent use
of an access card and auto theft, according
to police.
City encourages water conservation
Foster City officials are encouraging the
public to remain diligent in conserving
water due to the extremely low rainfall the
state has experienced over the past three
years.
The city recently received a preliminary
report about the status of the Hetch Hetchy
Regional Water System, according to
Foster City officials.
The Bay Area Water Supply and
Conservation Agency and the San
Francisco Public Utilities Commission
have indicated the water supply San Mateo
County relies on is currently at 72 percent
capacity during a time of year when it
should nearly be full, according to city
officials.
The SFPUC will be issuing a final report
sometime in April that could formally
declare a water shortage emergency and the
need for voluntary or mandatory rationing.
If rationing is required, Foster City cus-
tomers consumption will be closely
tracked monthly basis and they will be
required to reduce their water supply or pay
st i ff penalties and fines for additional
water, according to city officials.
In 2007, the SFPUC issued voluntary
reductions of 10 percent, the 2014 supply
levels are even lower than they were in
2007, according to city officials.
As of March 2013, residential consump-
tion was down 8.8 percent and irrigation
consumption decreased by 17 percent.
Nearly $300,000 in conservation rebates
and educational programs were distributed
and more are available, according to city
officials.

Dry ice bomber settles case
A 33-year-old Redwood City man who
left a one-liter dry ice bomb in the middle
of a street on Fourth of
July and later fought
with responding officers
pleaded no contest to
possessing an explosive
device and resisting
arrest.
In return, Richard Dean
Santos Jr. was immedi-
ately sentenced to 90
days jail followed by
three years supervised probation. He sur-
renders to jail March 1.
Redwood City police arrested Santos late
July 4 after responding to reports of a sus-
picious bottle in he middle of the 400
block of Ruby Street. Witnesses pointed
police to a house where the suspect entered
and found Santos who they reported was
immediately hostile and possessed a
methamphetamine smoking pipe.
The bottle led police to call the bomb
squad who confirmed it as a dry ice device
and detonated it in place.
Santos is free from custody on a $25,000
bail bond.
La Honda grass fire burns 4 acres
Fire crews in San Mateo County
remained at the scene of a grass fire all day
Thursday after containing a blaze that
burned roughly 4 acres, a fire captain said.
Crews from Cal Fire and San Mateo
County fire responded to a report of a grass
fire in the area of state Highway 84, near
Stage Road, in La Honda at about 8:45
p.m. Wednesday, Cal Fire Capt. Gary Silva
said.
After battling the blaze for more than
four hours, crews were able to fully contain
it at about 1:10 a.m. Thursday, Silva said.
No structures were damaged in the fire
that burned 4.1 acres and no one was
injured, according to Silva.
The cause of the fire is under investiga-
tion.

MOUNTAIN VIEW Google unveiled
Thursday a contact lens that monitors glucose
levels in tears, a potential reprieve for mil-
lions of diabetics who have to jab their n-
gers to draw their own blood as many as 10
times a day.
The prototype, which Google says will
take at least ve years to reach consumers, is
one of several medical devices being designed
by companies to make glucose monitoring
for diabetic patients more convenient and less
invasive than the traditional nger pricks.
The lenses use a minuscule glucose sensor
and a wireless transmitter to help those
among the worlds 382 million diabetics who
need insulin keep a close watch on their blood
sugar and adjust their dose.
The contact lenses were developed during
the past 18 months in the clandestine Google
X lab that also came up with a driverless car,
Googles Web-surng eyeglasses and Project
Loon, a network of large balloons designed to
beam the Internet to unwired places.
But research on the contact lenses began
several years earlier at the University of
Washington, where scientists worked under
National Science Foundation funding. Until
Thursday, when Google shared the project
with The Associated Press, their work had
been kept under wraps.
You can take it to a certain level in an aca-
demic setting, but at Google we were given
the latitude to invest in this project, said one
of the lead researchers, Brian Otis. The beau-
tiful thing is were leveraging all of the inno-
vation in the semiconductor industry that was
aimed at making cellphones smaller and more
powerful.
American Diabetes Association board chair
Dwight Holing said hes gratied that creative
scientists are searching for solutions for peo-
ple with diabetes but warned that the device
must provide accurate and timely informa-
tion.
People with diabetes base very important
health care decisions on the data we get from
our monitors, he said.
The device looked like a typical contact
lens when Otis held one on his index nger.
On closer examination, sandwiched in the
lens are two twinkling glitter-specks loaded
with tens of thousands of miniaturized tran-
sistors. Its ringed with a hair-thin antenna.
It doesnt look like much, but it was a
crazy amount of work to get everything so
very small, Otis said at Googles Silicon
Valley headquarters. It took years of soldering
hair-thin wires to miniaturize electronics,
essentially building tiny chips from scratch,
to make what Otis said is the smallest wire-
less glucose sensor ever made.

Police say they have arrested a man
believed responsible for setting nearly a
dozen blazes within a week in San Jose.
Sgt. Albert Morales said the suspect was
taken in for questioning Wednesday night
by the police Covert Response Unit.
Authorities released few details about the
suspect. The newspaper says investigators
are conducting follow-up interviews and
plan to reveal more at a news conference
Thursday morning.
The fire department has reported 13 fires
near downtown since Jan. 8. Eleven of
them are determined to be arson. The
blazes usually occurred during the early
morning hours. Three fires alone were set
on Sunday.
The targets have included homes and
businesses and a church. No injuries are
reported.
Earlier in the week authorities released a
sketch of a person of interest in the case.

GLENDORA Santa Ana winds
that fanned a campre into a wild-
re that destroyed ve homes and
threatened foothill neighbor-
hoods east of Los Angeles relented
Thursday afternoon, halting the
blaze in its tracks.
The fire swept through 1,700
acres of brush in the San Gabriel
Mountains early in the day but by
nightfall it was no longer advanc-
ing and was 30 percent contained.
The weather cooperated quite a
bit today. We didnt get the wind
... that we thought, Los Angeles
County fire Deputy Chief John
Tripp said.
Authorities planned to reopen
evacuated Glendora neighbor-
hoods, allowing back some of the
2,000 people ordered to leave the
area.
However, fire engines would
remain to guard the area
overnight, he added.
The National Weather Service
said a red-ag warning of extreme
re danger would remain in effect
into Friday evening because of
low humidity and the chance of
winds gusting to 30 mph in the
foothills and canyons.
The wildre, which erupted early
Thursday, damaged 17 homes,
garages, barns and other build-
ings, Tripp said.
At least 10 renters were left
homeless when the re destroyed
rental units on the historic
grounds of a retreat that once was
the summer estate of the Singer
sewing machine family. Statues of
Jesus and Mary stood unharmed
near the blackened ruins.
However, the main, 1920s man-
sion was spared.
Its really a miracle that our
chapel, our main house is safe,
owner Jeania Parayno said.
Alex Larsen, 50, rented a room
at the estate. The musician had
lived there for about four years.
All my possessions are toast,
burned toast, he told the Los
Angeles Times.
Two firefighters had minor
injuries and a woman trying to
ght the blaze near her home suf-
fered a minor burn, Tripp said.
Three men in their 20s, includ-
ing a homeless man, were arrested
on suspicion of recklessly start-
ing the blaze by tossing paper
into a campfire in the Angeles
National Forest, just north of
Glendora.
Glendora Chief Tim Staab said
the men were trying to keep warm
and the wildre appears to have
been an accident.
One was very remorseful for
starting this re, he said.
The men could face either state
or federal charges, depending on
whether the campre was on feder-
al forest land, he added.
The Angeles National Forest was
under very high fire danger
restrictions, which bar campres
anywhere except in re rings in
designated campgrounds.

SACRAMENTO Former Lt.
Gov. Abel Maldonado abandoned
his long-shot GOP bid for gover-
nor of California on Thursday as
his campaign was oundering for
support and failing to attract the
kind of donors he would need to
mount a credible challenge to Gov.
Jerry Brown.
The former state senator and
member of a successful Central
Coast farming family held a news
conference in his hometown of
Santa Maria to say he was drop-
ping out of the race and would not
run for any other ofce this year.
I have concluded that now is
not my time, he said in prepared
remarks released as he was making
his formal announcement.
He said he wanted to focus on
being a full-time dad and husband
and help his daughters venture
with a new wine business.
Maldonado did not directly address
the problems he has had gaining
traction from voters or potential
campaign donors, saying instead
that he believed he had the neces-
sary qualications to be governor
if he chose to stay in the race.
Maldonado, who lost a bid for
Congress in 2012, has struggled
to raise money and has held few
events in recent months, even as
other would-be candidates ramp up
their campaigns.
His exit leaves Republican state
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly as
the only major candidate to
announce a challenge to Brown.
The Democratic
governor has
not yet formally
declared his
intention to run
for re-election
even though he
is raising mil-
lions of dollars
for a campaign.
Former U.S.
Treasury ofcial
Neel Kashkari, a
R e p u b l i c a n ,
also is consider-
ing a run.
Brown is
expected to seek
re-election and
has amassed
nearly $17 mil-
lion for a
potential cam-
paign. He is considered a formida-
ble foe for any would-be oppo-
nent.
In a statement, the California
Democratic Party said Maldonado
pulled out because he saw the
writing on the wall for
Republican candidates in the state.
The GOP has seen a sharp
decline in voter registration over
the past decade and now stands at
less than 30 percent of the elec-
torate. After years of multibillion
dollar budget decits, California is
now looking at the prospect of
surpluses in the years ahead.
Brown has restored billions of
dollars to K-12 schools, notable
because education funding consis-
tently ranks as one of voters top
priorities.

WASHINGTON The House on
Thursday backed a bill that would require
the Obama administration to report weekly
on how many Americans have signed up for
health care coverage as Republicans main-
tain an election-year spotlight on the trou-
bled law.
The vote was 259-154, with 33
Democrats breaking ranks and joining the
GOP majority in supporting the legisla-
tion. It marked the second time in a week
and certainly not the last that the House
has targeted President Barack Obamas law,
with Republicans condent that Americans
unease with the overhaul will produce major
GOP wins in the November elections.
Some of the most vulnerable Democrats
facing re-election this fall from Arizona,
Georgia, New York and Florida voted for the
bill. Last week, 67 Democrats bucked the
administration and backed a bill to bolt new
security requirements on the law.
The bill would require the administration
to report weekly on the number of visits to
the government health care website, the
number of Americans who applied and the
number of enrollees by ZIP code, as well as
other statistics. It stands no chance in the
Democratic-led Senate.
House passes bill requiring health care numbers
Rebecca Wilhelm said she bought her house
because the home school was Menlo-
Atherton and she doesnt want to be lumped
up with the rest of Redwood City, while her
neighbor Stuart Sussman agreed.
Many of us on our street bought homes
knowing Menlo-Atherton would be our high
school, Sussman said. Its impossible to
safely ride [your bike] to Sequoia from there.
Many parents seem to agree we dont want
to change Menlo-Atherton as our high
school.
Board members and Superintendent Jim
Lianides were sympathetic about the neigh-
bors concerns, but contended theres no way
to draw lines that will satisfy everyone.
Lianides said his facilities task force took
into account board support to allow the
North Fair Oaks community to remain within
the Menlo-Atherton boundary, but a chal-
lenge in developing a map was how to best
dene that community. The natural boundary
division was along Eighth Avenue since
Sixth and Seventh avenues have different
patterns of school attendance. There are cur-
rently 35 K-8 students residing on Sixth and
Seventh avenues who attend Garfield
Elementary School and 16 students attend
other Redwood City elementary schools.
When the enrollment choices of current high
school students living on Sixth and Seventh
avenues are examined, seven students attend
Menlo-Atherton and 11 students attend other
district comprehensive high schools and uti-
lize open enrollment to make those choices,
according to a staff report.
Any way you draw the border is going to
divide a diverse community, said Trustee
Alan Sarver. I dont see it being a slam dunk
decision.
North Fair Oaks community members say
their own data conicts with the districts
account, while others applauded the new
map, including Brandon Nicholson of the
San Francisco 49ers Academy in East Palo
Alto.
Tonight, and your subsequent vote, offers
students an opportunity for education and
you will make history in the advancement to
public education, he said. The new map
solidies the effort to support good educa-
tion to all communities.
Overall, the tentative new district bound-
ary map, created by the task force, was pre-
sented to the board for discussion at its
Wednesday night meeting. The new map very
closely aligns middle schools with a single
comprehensive high school, except for in
Redwood City, according to the staff report.
Major changes from the current boundary
map reect the goal of improved alignment,
including:
1). Menlo-Atherton becomes the home
school for the portion of East Palo Alto for-
merly assigned to Carlmont and Woodside
high schools;
2). The portion of Las Lomitas formerly
assigned to Woodside will now be within the
Menlo-Atherton boundary;
3). Except for the area referred to as the
Avenues beginning with Eighth Avenue,
the remainder of the North Fair Oaks and east
Redwood City communities formerly
assigned to Menlo-Atherton will now be
assigned to Sequoia High School;
4). The Heather Elementary School com-
munity in San Carlos currently assigned to
Sequoia will now attend Carlmont. This will
align the entire Tierra Linda Middle School
boundary with Carlmont; and
5). The boundary between Sequoia and
Woodside high schools in west Redwood
City is being adjusted by several blocks to
follow main avenues; Roosevelt Avenue to
Valota Road, Valota to Jefferson Avenue,
Jefferson to Alameda de las Pulgas and
Alameda to Edgewood Road.
With the changes, Trustee Carrie Du Bois
said she would like to see small learning
communities potentially established or a
plan to help the students get to know each
other before integrating the schools.
Meanwhile, the latest projects from the
districts demographer show the district will
grow to 9,996 students by 2020, with
Menlo-Atherton growing to the largest num-
ber of students with 2,643. These projec-
tions do not include the benecial effects of
the proposed two small schools of 300 to
400 students under consideration, do not take
into account any future new housing within
the district that will generate students not
currently attending K-8 schools, and
assumes that all students will attend their
home school. The district is looking at put-
ting one small school in the Menlo Park area
in the south and another between Redwood
City and San Carlos in the north.
Were very concerned about the size of
Menlo-Atherton, Lianides said. These are
numbers theyve never seen at these schools.
There were a number of considerations for
this map and the most important outcome
was to keep communities together.
Inequity in the district has also been of
concern for trustees, who in October 2013
voted 4-1 to allow more students from East
Palo Alto to attend Menlo-Atherton. This
acted as a way to allow more East Palo Alto
students to attend their local school, rather
than taking a long bus ride to Carlmont.
We know students who come to Menlo-
Atherton from Ravenswood [City
Elementary School District] succeed better
here, said board President Allen Weiner.
Its not going to chew up students.
The next step in the process will be to
schedule a new series of community meetings
in which this map, along with information
regarding the districts impending facility
needs, will be presented to parents. There
will likely be one meeting at each high
school and additional meetings held at Fair
Oaks Community Center and the districts
Myrtle Street facility in East Palo Alto. The
target implementation date for map changes
will be the fall 2015. If approved, the
changes would only affect entering ninth-
graders and it would take four years to phase
in the modications. Siblings of current stu-
dents residing in areas affected by boundary
changes would be able to attend the older sib-
lings school, according to the report.
The board will hold a study session on
enrollment growth and facility planning
5:30 p.m. Jan. 22. The facilities task force
will present recommendations to meet the
housing needs of district students in the
coming years. There will also an update on
current activities and upcoming tasks to pre-
pare for a bond election in 2014. Included in
this presentation will be nancial informa-
tion relating to tax rates and bonding capac-
ity.

DISTRICT
targeted to students who are low-income,
learning to speak English or living in fos-
ter care.
The rules require districts to devote the
extra money they receive for their high-
needs students to improving and expanding
services specically for those students. But
they also give local ofcials latitude to
decide whether to increase teacher salaries,
invest in training or technology, or pro-
mote other strategies that would help all
students.
Voicing the concerns of those who worry
California will squander the opportunity to
close the achievement gap that separates
black and Hispanic students from white and
Asian classmates, Assemblywoman
Shirley Weber, a San Diego Democrat, told
the appointed school board that without
greater restrictions, We run the risk of
once again doing what we have always
done: a little bit for everybody and a whole
lot of nothing for anybody.
The governor himself dropped by the
marathon meeting to endorse the regula-
tions, saying the goals of equity and exi-
bility were not exclusive. Brown reminded
the audience that while equal opportunity
for students is the revised formulas overar-
ching purpose, the central principle sup-
porting it is focusing authority where it
can be most effectively exercised.
Now thats not to say that its not
important that we have guidelines and some
outcomes that all the teachers can strive
for. And these regulations certainly go a
long way toward achieving that, he said.
But it isnt a matter of putting this on
automatic pilot with minute prescriptive
commands from headquarters. Were head-
quarters.
School districts must submit to their
county education ofces by July 1 three-
year plans on the use of targeted funds and
explain why those decisions will reduce
school suspensions and absences, increase
school involvement and boost student
achievement. The plans, subject to state
approval, must be prepared with communi-
ty input and include annual goals.

Have you ever been
entrusted to make
final arrangements
for a funeral?
Those of you
whove had this
experience know
that important decisions are required and
must be made in a timely manner. The next
of kin is many times required to search for
information about the deceased which may
not be easily accessible, and must answer
questions without the time to think things
out. Even though your Funeral Director is
trained to guide you every step of the way, it
is still best for you to be prepared with the
proper information if the need should arise.
Ask your Funeral Director what info is
needed before you meet with him/her.
Making funeral arrangements can be very
simple, or can become difficult at times if
you are not prepared. A good Funeral
Director is experienced in leading you with
the necessary requirements, and will offer
details that you may not have thought about
or previously considered as an option.
Allowing him/her to guide you will make
the arrangements go by quickly and easily.
A number of items should be considered
in preparation for the future:
1. Talk to your loved ones about the
inevitable. Give them an indication on what
your wishes are regarding the type of funeral
you want, burial or cremation, etc., and ask
them their feelings about plans for their own
funeral. This is only conversation, but it is
an important topic which will help break the
ice and prevent any type of confusion when
the time comes.
2. Talk to your Funeral Director. Write
down a list of questions and make a phone
call to your Funeral Director asking how to
be prepared. He/she will gladly provide
detailed information and can mail this
information to you for your reference.
Asking questions doesnt cost anything and
will help you with being organized.
3. Make an appointment and Pre-plan a
Funeral. Many more people are following
through with this step by making Pre-Need
Arrangements. Completing arrangements
ahead of time makes this process more
relaxed, and putting these details behind you
will take a weight off your shoulders. Your
wishes will be finalized and kept on file at
the Mortuary. Your Funeral Director will
even help you set aside funding now as to
cover costs at the time of death. Families
who meet with us at the CHAPEL OF THE
HIGHLANDS are grateful for the chance to
make Pre-Need Arrangements. With their
final details in place it helps to make matters
more calming for surviving loved-ones.
4. Enjoy Life. There are those who dwell
on situations that cant be controlled.
Taking time to stop and look around at
beauty in the world and appreciate good
things can be therapeutic. If you need to use
a negative statement, try re-wording it into a
positive. Change I had a lousy day today
into Today was demanding, but it made me
appreciate my better days. As the song
goes: Accentuate the positive; Eliminate
the negative; Latch on to the affirmative.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you

Accentuating The Positive
Can Eliminate The Negative
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Congress sent President
Barack Obama a $1.1 trillion government-
wide spending bill Thursday, easing the
harshest effects of last years automatic budg-
et cuts after tea party critics chastened by
Octobers partial shutdown mounted only a
faint protest.
The Senate voted 72-26 for the measure,
which cleared the House a little more than 24
hours earlier on a similarly lopsided vote.
Obamas signature on the bill was expected in
time to prevent any interruption in govern-
ment funding Saturday at midnight.
The huge bill funds every agency of gov-
ernment, pairing increases for NASA and
Army Corps of Engineers construction proj-
ects with cuts to the Internal Revenue Service
and foreign aid. It pays for implementation of
Obamas health care law; a ght over imple-
menting Obamacare sparked tea party
Republicans to partially shut the government
down for 16 days last October.
Also included is funding for tighter regula-
tions on nancial markets, but at levels lower
than the president wanted.
The compromise-laden legislation reects
the realities of divided power in Washington
and a desire by both Democrats and
Republicans for an election-year respite after
three years of budget wars that had Congress
and the White House lurching from crisis to
crisis. Both parties looked upon the measure
as a way to ease automatic spending cuts that
both the Pentagon and domestic agencies had
to begin absorbing last year.
All 53 Democrats, two independents and 17
Republicans voted for the bill. The 26 votes
against it were all cast by Republicans.
The measure advanced to Obama three
months after House Republicans called off
the government shutdown and sought a
scaled-back bargain with Democratic law-
makers and the president. It added the details
to the framework laid out by the December
bargain between the chairmen of the House
and Senate Budget committees.
Congress still has to act in the next few
weeks to increase the governments borrow-
ing cap to avoid a potentially devastating
default on U.S. obligations, but GOP leaders
no longer appear to have much enthusiasm
for a showdown with Obama over that issue.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told
reporters Thursday that the government
shouldnt even get close to a default.

NEWYORK The price to board an air-
liner in the United States has risen for the
fourth straight year, making it increasingly
expensive to y almost anywhere.
The average domestic roundtrip ticket,
including tax, reached $363.42 last year, up
more than $7 from the prior year, according
to an Associated Press analysis of travel data
collected from millions of ights throughout
the country.
The 2 percent increase outpaced ination,
which stood at 1.5 percent.
Airfares have risen nearly 12 percent since
their low in the depths of the Great
Recession in 2009, when adjusted for ina-
tion, the analysis showed.
Ticket prices have increased as airlines
eliminated unprotable routes, packed more
passengers into planes and merged with one
another, providing travelers with fewer
options.
Today, 84 percent of seats are filled
with paying passengers, up from 82
percent i n 2009.
Anyone traveling today will know that
those flights are full, said Chuck
Thackston, managing director of data and
analytics for the Airlines Reporting Corp,
which processes ticket transactions for air-
lines and more than 9,400 travel agencies,
including websites such as Expedia and
Orbitz. Just through supply and demand,
those fares will go up.
And none of this factors in the bevy of
extra fees travelers now face for checking
bags, getting extra legroom or even purchas-
ing a blanket, meal or pair of headphones.
The typical traveler pays an additional $50
roundtrip to check a single suitcase.
Those fees, introduced in 2008 to offset
losses from rising fuel prices, now bring in
$3.4 billion a year for U.S. airlines and have
helped them return consistent annual prot s
for the last four years.
Airlines pay just over $3 a gallon for jet
fuel, up from $1.89 in 2009. Another $2.7
billion a year is collected in reservation-
change fees, with airlines charging up to
$200 to revise an itinerary.
Airfares continue to rise, up 12 percent since 2009

Obituary
Al-Qaida asking
Iraqis for support
By Sameer N. Yacoub and Sinan Salaheddin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD Members of al-Qaidas branch in Iraq hand-
ed out pamphlets in Fallujah on Thursday, urging people to
take up arms and back them in their weekslong ght against
government troops for control of the city.
While the militants battled Iraqi security forces in and
around Fallujah and Ramadi, police outside the capital,
Baghdad, found the bullet-riddled bodies of 14 Sunni men
who had been abducted from a funeral by gunmen wearing
military uniforms. It was a grim reminder of similar slay-
ings at the height of the war about six years ago.
Iraqi forces and allied Sunni tribesmen have been ghting
to recapture key territories overrun by al-Qaida militants in
the countrys Sunni-dominated Anbar province, including
its two main cities, Fallujah and parts of the provincial cap-
ital, Ramadi, which are west Baghdad.
Violence has escalated in Iraq over the past year, particu-
larly since late last month after authorities dismantled an
anti-government Sunni protest camp and arrested a Sunni
lawmaker on terrorism charges. To alleviate the tension, the
army pulled back from the two cities, but that allowed al-
Qaida militants to seize control.
Speaking to the Associated Press by telephone, Fallujah
residents said al-Qaida militants distributed pamphlets with
the emblem of their group the Islamic State of Iraq and
the Levant at main city intersections Wednesday and
Thursday.
The pamphlets called on Fallujah residents to join the
ght, give money or open their homes as shelters, the resi-
dents said. They spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing
for their safety.
Another pamphlet announced that al-Qaida would form a
Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice
that would look into the disputes among residents of
Fallujah, 65 kilometers (40 miles) west of Baghdad.
Clashes between the militants security forces continued
in two Fallujah neighborhoods from late Wednesday to early
Thursday, the residents said.
Amedical ofcial said the city hospital received the bod-
ies of seven men killed in the ghting and that 13 were
wounded. He was unable to provide a breakdown of how
many of the dead were militants and how many might have
been civilians caught up in the clashes.
Elsewhere in the province, Iraqi state television said secu-
rity forces and allied tribal ghters clashed with militants
inside and around Ramadi on Thursday, retaking several
areas captured earlier by al-Qaida ghters. No more details
were given.
Two senior military ofcials said that one soldier was
killed and three others were wounded by sniper re during a
clash in the village of al-Bubali, between Fallujah and
Ramadi.
OPINION 9
Friday Jan. 17, 2014 THEDAILYJOURNAL
Letters to the editor
By Kevin Mullin
O
n Jan. 6, the Legislature recon-
vened for the second half of our
two-year session. This year, we
will consider well over 2,000 bills (far too
many in my opinion), but the single most
signicant action we will take is adopting
a 2014-15 state budget. As a member of the
Assemblys Budget Committee, we held our
rst hearing yesterday and have just begun
reviewing Gov. Jerry Browns budget pro-
posal.
In the coming months, we will hold
dozens of additional hearings. I am very
optimistic that the Legislature and the gov-
ernor are on track for a fourth on-time bal-
anced budget in a row. We are making
strides in paying down debt and making
strategic investments that will serve to
bolster our recovering economy. While I
generally support the governors budget,
there are still details to be worked out and
areas that can be improved upon.
First, we need to start work on the
California State Teacher Retirement
Systems this year. CalSTRS faces a grow-
ing $80.4 billion unfunded liability and is
expected to exhaust its assets in approxi-
mately 30 years. CalSTRS estimates that
stabilizing the system could cost more
than $4.5 billion a year, which could over-
whelm other education priorities as well as
other policy initiatives. This is a problem
with no easy answer and there is no way to
avoid increased contributions from teach-
ers, districts and the state. I look forward to
working on this to strike the right balance
to make a meaningful dent in this outstand-
ing liability.
Second, we need to work on the tax code.
Arainy-day fund is obviously critical given
our volatile revenue and I applaud legisla-
tive leadership and the governors plan to
ensure we have a workable rainy-day fund.
However, this is a symp-
tom of an antiquated tax
code. There have been
working groups, com-
missions and panels
established inside and
outside of government in
the past, but in reality
weve done very little.
Legislators, myself
included, need to start moving on some of
these proposals.
Third, we need to get redevelopment
going again. There were abuses in many
areas of the state, but cities in San Mateo
County demonstrated redevelopment done
right. We must give local governments
strong economic development tools with
the proper safeguards. This should include
the re-establishment of tax increment
nancing as well as lower voter thresholds
on revenue and bonds. The governors very
limited proposal expanding the scope of
infrastructure nancing districts is inade-
quate. The dust is still settling on the dis-
solution of former redevelopment agen-
cies, but both infrastructure needs as well
as the severe shortage for affordable hous-
ing cry out for a more aggressive approach.
Fourth, we need to take care of our chil-
dren and working families. Increasing fund-
ing for K-12 and paying down the deferred
payments to schools is absolutely the
right thing to do but, while taking a scal-
ly restrained approach, I believe we need to
take this opportunity to make important
investments in our future. Investing in
both child care and early childhood educa-
tion has a substantial return on invest-
ment. During the Great Recession, we elim-
inated subsidies for more than 100,000
children in the CalWorks program. We need
to help people struggling economically
with the high cost of child care. Gradually
restoring these cuts will help people get
back to work. As the economy recovers, we
need to give struggling families a hand up
and promote economic mobility. Starting
to restore child care funding will do that.
Additionally, I believe we need to make
the investment in universal early child-
hood education. Speaker Perez and Senate
pro Tem Steinberg have been working with
a variety of stakeholders including busi-
ness groups such as the Bay Area Council
and have come up with a proposal that will
have long-term benets and cost savings
into the future. Very basically, the proposal
would make transitional kindergarten uni-
versal for all 4-year-olds and strengthen
existing early care programs for 0- to 3-
year-olds. This proposal is scally prudent
because we know from experience in other
states that these programs will increase
high school graduation rates and reduce our
prison population down the road. This is a
long-term policy step that will have sub-
stantial return on investment for all
Californians.
The governors proposal is a strong
start, and I am eager to start working
through the Budget Committee process
with my colleagues to rene and hopefully
improve it. I would also like to invite resi-
dents of San Mateo County to email me at
assemblymember.mullin@assembly.ca.go
v or call my ofce at (650) 349-2200 with
suggestions and feedback as we move for-
ward.

Francisco, represents the 22nd Assembly
District which includes cities in northern and

A New Years resolution
Editor,
The new year is here, offering us a clean
slate on which to write. I challenge your
readers, who contribute letters to the edi-
tor, to stick to the frank but polite
exchange of ideas and opinions without
personal attacks, ridicule and stereotypes. I
know its tempting, it often works, but
lets battle with the ideas, not the messen-
gers.

Editor,
Asmall note of appreciation to the Daily
Journal and writer Julio Lara for the recent
tribute to Mr. Frank Firpo (article
Longtime Burlingame coach Frank Firpo
dies in the Jan. 15 edition of the Daily
Journal).
Simply put, anyone and everyone who
knew Mr. Firpo is a better and stronger per-
son today because of him. May the legacy
of this good and loving man keep encour-
aging all of us to journey down the same
path. By any standard and in every respect,
a noble life well-lived and well-remem-
bered.

Still no honest answer
Editor,
The guest perspective by Ben Tripousis
(High-Speed Rail: Partnering with
Caltrain, in the Jan. 16 edition of the
Daily Journal) is full of the usual fantasies
we have come to expect from the Rail
Authority. There is just one tiny multi-bil-
lion-dollar sticking point in this idyllic
picture: Exactly how do they plan to pay
for it? We have been waiting for years and
still no honest answer.

The ever-changing
B Street landscape
T
here are always many changes in
downtown San Mateo, especially
on its core B Street, but the latest
mystery is what happened to one of the
amigos? Tres Amigos shut down after 25
years last January, and has since been
replaced by
Pacic Catch
Fresh Fish Grill.
Across the
street, however,
a new taqueria
has opened
called Dos
Amigos. That,
apparently, is
the reincarna-
tion of Tres
Amigos, but
with one less
amigo. So those
looking for their
carnitas x wont have to go very far from
where they once went on B Street.
Pacic Catch ofcially opened this
month and it looks fantastic. Last
Saturday, the place was packed at dinner-
time and there seemed to be a lot of interest
from passersby (myself included). It has a
wide selection of seafood options (one
would hope) including Hawaiian poke,
ceviche and Pacic Island-themed entrees.
The look of it is rened and seems to be a
nice upgrade to the plaza right by the
movie theater.
In the same area, but down the block, the
folks who brought us Curry Up Now have
decided to open a bar within the Indian
street food restaurants cozy connes. So
now you can get a libation with your sexy
fries, holy moly fried ravioli and naughty
naan. The new tavern is called Mortar &
Pestle (after those things you use to crush
spices and other things that need to be
crushed) and features such creations as
Indian-inspired rum old-fashioned with
housemade garam masala syrup and a Sri
Lankan coconut arrack. Small bites are
available at the bar.
And word is that Tomatina (a casual but
modern Italian restaurant originally found-
ed by celebrity chef Michael Chiarello, he
of Yountvilles Bottega Restaurant fame) is
opening up on the corner of Fourth Avenue
and B Street. Estimated time of opening is
around May, according to the San Rafael-
based chains reps.
Another addition in the B Street core is
the soon-to-arrive Cream, which features
ice cream sandwiches. It already has loca-
tions in Palo Alto, Berkeley and Walnut
Creek and people reportedly line up for it.
Since its set to be pretty close to TPumps
and Old Town Sushi, which already have
their fair share of street lineups, seems like
the western sidewalks of B Street will be
pretty crowded. Lets just hope the ice
cream goes in customers mouths and not
the sidewalk.
Bambu, a dessert place with fancy Asian-
inspired tea drinks, is also upping B
Streets game with its selection of fresh
and innovative offerings.
Another new business, though not food-
related is Roosters by Yougurtouille, which
opened just this week. Its ofcially called
Roosters Mens Grooming Center, a classic
American barbershop (yet with modern hair
care services) for men and boys.
And dont forget places like 31st Union,
which has been open for about a year and
half now, with a locavore-inspired menu
that always pleases. Maybe you were put
off by the constant crowds there when it
rst opened, but it seems to have a little
more space nowadays but the menu remains
solid. Though its a block of the B Street
core, its included in this breakdown
because its just the kind of place down-
town needed when it opened.
And thats my B Street report. Always
changing, always interesting. Now about
that lost amigo ... .

Big movers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWYORK A batch of negative
company news gave investors some-
thing to fret over Thursday.
A day after eking out its rst record
high of 2014, the stock market lost
ground Thursday as electronics retailer
Best Buy, Goldman Sachs and
Citigroup, and railroad operator CSX
had disappointing earnings news.
Consumer discretionary companies
and banks fell the most.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
slipped 2.49 points, or 0.1 percent, to
1,845.89, retreating from the all-time
high it hit the day before.
Best Buy fell the most in the S&P500
index after the company reported a
decline in sales during the crucial holi-
day season. Its shares plunged $10.74,
or 29 percent, to $26.83.
Investors had high hopes that Best
Buy, which has faced intense competi-
tion from companies like
Amazon.com, would put itself back on
track. The stock soared 236 percent last
year. However, the company said
Thursday that the aggressive price-
matching policy it offered during the
holidays backred and sales fell 0.8
percent compared to a year ago.
Best Buy is not the only retailer to
disappoint investors in the last week.
Bed Bath & Beyond, Family Dollar
and Target all cut their full-year out-
looks last week after a weak holiday
season. The only bright spot in the
retail industry was Macys, and even it
announced layoffs of 2,500 employees
as part of a restructuring.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
64.93 points, or 0.4 percent, to
16,417.01. The Nasdaq composite had
a modest gain of 3.80 points, or 0.1
percent, to 4,218.69.
Goldman Sachs was the biggest drag
on the Dow, falling $3.58, or 2 percent,
to $175.17.
The bank reported a drop in fourth-
quarter prot due to problems in its
mortgages and bond trading division.
However, Goldmans earnings did beat
analysts expectations.
The bond and mortgage businesses
were also weak at Citigroup, whose
results fell short of expectations. The
stock dropped $2.39, or 4 percent, to
$52.60.
The stock market is fragile right
now, said Scott Clemons, chief invest-
ment strategist at Brown Brothers
Harriman.
If something were to go wrong, like
if this earnings season continues to dis-
appoint, I think any negative market
reaction would be magnied, Clemons
said. The market is not as resilient as it
was last year.
The company disappointments were
not limited to retailers and banks.
CSX warned investors that it might
be difcult to reach its own prot tar-
gets over the next two years because of
ongoing weak demand for coal. The
news pushed CSX down $1.99, or 7 per-
cent, to $27.24. Other railroad stocks
including Union Pacic and Norfolk
Southern also fell.
Its still very early in earnings sea-
son. Roughly 70 members of the S&P
500 index report next week, including
Microsoft, IBM, Delta Air Lines and
McDonalds.
Quincy Krosby, a market strategist
with Prudential Financial, said the mar-
ket desperately needs companies to
deliver on expectations this quarter and
should nd more direction next week
once more companies release their
results.
We need the economic data and cor-
porate earnings to be strong enough to
support these valuations, Krosby said.
Investors retreated into traditional
safe havens like government bonds,
high-dividend stocks and gold. The
yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell
to 2.84 percent from 2.89 percent the
day before.
Weak earnings drag stocks mostly lower
If something were to go wrong, like if this
earnings season continues to disappoint, I think
any negative market reaction would be magnied.
... The market is not as resilient as it was last year.

WASHINGTON U.S. consumer
prices rose last month by the most
since June, driven up by higher gas
prices, but excluding energy, ination
was tame.
The Labor Department said Thursday
that the consumer price index rose a
seasonally adjusted 0.3 percent in
December, after a at reading the previ-
ous month.
Prices increased 1.5 percent in 2013,
down from 1.7 percent in 2012. Thats
below the Federal Reserves target of 2
percent. Fed ofcials have said in recent
months that they are watching the ina-
tion data closely to ensure it does not
fall too far.
The price data continue to deliver the
same message: no signs of ination
pressures in the US economy, said
Laura Rosner, an economist at BNP
Paribas.
Gas prices jumped 3.1 percent in
December, the biggest gain since June.
Food prices ticked up 0.1 percent,
pushed up by higher restaurant costs.
Grocery prices were at, held down by
the biggest drop in fruit and vegetable
prices in ve years.
Excluding the volatile food and ener-
gy categories, core prices increased just
0.1 percent in December. Car prices
were at and airline fares plummeted 4.7
percent, the most in 14 years. Those
declines were offset by a big increase in
clothing costs, which followed three
months of decreases, and rents also
rose.
Core prices increased 1.7 percent in
2013, down from a 1.9 percent increase
in 2012.
Ination has been held back in recent
years by sluggish growth and high
unemployment, which makes it harder
for retailers and other businesses to
raise prices.
Persistently low inflation has
allowed the Federal Reserve to pursue
its extraordinary stimulus program. The
Fed launched an $85 billion-a-month
bond purchase program in September
2012 in an effort to keep interest rates
low and spur more borrowing and
spending. Fed policymakers cut those
purchases to $75 billion this month.
Fed policymakers could continue
their purchases for longer if ination
doesnt move closer to their 2 percent
target. Fed ofcials have said ultra-low
inflation poses economic risks.
Among other concerns, falling ina-
tion raises ination-adjusted interest
rates, making it harder to pay off debts
and potentially discouraging borrow-
ing. The Fed meets again at the end of
this month.
Critics of the bond-buying program
fear it will spark higher ination in the
future. But the ination has yet to mate-
rialize.
A small amount of ination can be
good for the economy, because it
encourages consumers and businesses
to spend and invest before prices rise
further.
U.S. consumer prices up 0.3
percent, most in six months
By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK In a move that
echoes Twitter, Facebook is adding a
feature to its service that lets users
know the topics of discussion that are
trending among the sites 1.2 billion
users, whether its the death of a world
leader or the Oscars.
Users in the U.S., U.K., India,
Canada and Australia will begin see-
ing a list of trending topics on the
right side of their Facebook pages in
coming weeks. It will be available in
more countries later on.
Trending topics wont be available
on the mobile version of Facebook,
but the company said it is testing the
feature in its app for smartphones and
tablet computers.
Facebook, which signaled last year
that it would introduce trending topics
at some point, said Thursday that the
topics people see will be tailored to
the users interests and location. On
Thursday afternoon, two users saw
topics that included the Academy
Awards, American Idol and Republican
Sen. David Vitter from Louisiana.
Unlike Twitter, which simply lists
topics, Facebooks trending section
explains why a particular topic is
trending. In this case, the 2014
Academy Award nominations were
announced, American Idol named new
judges and promised a new attitude and
Vitter introduced a bill that would
require people show photo IDs to
make purchases with food stamps.
Chris Stuhar, a software engineer at
Facebook who works on the sites
news feed, said the feature is designed
to uncover the most interesting con-
tent across the site and fits into the
companys broader effort to make
Facebook your personal newspa-
per.
Facebook is already seen as a place
where users go to find out what their
friends and family are up to. Stuhar
said learning that a friend got married
or discovering what his friends are
doing on a Friday night is certainly
news, but Facebook has a much
broader vision of where we want news
feed to go in the future.
Facebook adds trending topics to site
Intel 4Q net income rises 6 percent
NEWYORK Intels fourth-quarter net income rose 6
percent, as the company offset at demand for its person-
al computer chips with higher sales of other products.
The worlds largest chipmaker earned $2.63 billion, or
51 cents per share, up from $2.47 billion, or 48 cents per
share, in the same quarter of 2012. Revenue rose 3 percent
to $13.83 billion.
Analysts polled by FactSet expected a prot of 52 cents
per share on revenue of $13.72 billion.
Intel supplies chips for the majority of personal com-
puter processors, so the consumer shift away from PCs
and toward tablets and smartphones continues to hurt
sales. The company has tried to offset the decline with
higher sales of chips for servers, phones and tablets.
Last week, a pair of research rms said PC sales contin-
ued to sink during the holiday shopping season, capping
the steepest annual decline in PC shipments in decades.
According to Gartner Inc., worldwide PC sales fell 7 per-
cent during the fourth quarter, marking the seventh-
straight quarter of declines. Meanwhile, International
Data Corp. said global PC shipments fell 6 percent.
AmEx posts higher 4Q profit, revenue
LOS ANGELES American Express Co. said Thursday
that its net income more than doubled in the fourth quarter,
as cardholders boosted spending and borrowing during the
holiday season.
The New York companys prior-year quarter was also
weighed by $594 million in restructuring charges and
other one-time costs.
American Express said cardholder spending grew 8 per-
cent in the October-December quarter, which helped drive
revenue gains for its U.S. and international card business-
es.
CEO Kenneth I. Chenault said many consumers remain
cautious about taking on additional debt, but noted the
company saw a modest increase in cardholder loans.
American Express cardholders tend to be more afuent
than other credit card users, which has helped bolster the
company despite the slow economic recovery.
Best Buy holiday sales fall, shares skid
MINNEAPOLIS Best Buy said Thursday it had disap-
pointing sales during the holiday shopping season, rais-
ing concerns about the consumer electronic retailers abil-
ity to turn around its business.
Shares tumbled nearly 29 percent on the news, showing
that investors are increasingly worried about Best Buys
future. Best Buys stock price had more than quadrupled
last year, but had been down 7 percent since the beginning
of this year.
The holiday season, which runs from November through
December, is a critical period for retailers because it can
account for up to 40 percent of their annual revenue.

MLB CHANGES STANCE: AFTER YEARS OF COMPLAINTS, BASEBALL TO FINALLY EXPAND REPLAY STARTING THIS SEASON >> PAGE 13
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENTON, Wash. Packers-Bears. Steelers-
Browns. Cowboys vs. anybody in the NFC
East.
Those are long-standing NFLrivalries.
Add to them 49ers-Seahawks, with a history
of nastiness emanating from the college ranks
for their coaches, and a hefty animosity built
up in annual doubleheaders in their division.
Now they meet for a spot in the Super Bowl.
Are those hard feelings for real?
I think so, but itll always be that way when
you have two good teams in the same divi-
sion, 49ers receiver Anquan Boldin said. You
play each other a couple
times a year and if youre
good enough, possibly
three times a year. It was
the same way when I was in
Baltimore playing against
Pittsburgh. You respect
each other as foes, but
there is really a dislike.
Its a healthy thing, real-
l y, because it makes for
even more uncompromising action on the
eld and on the sideline.
One of these teams will emerge Sunday from
ear-splitting CenturyLink Field headed for New
Jersey to play for the sports biggest prize.
The other will carry into the offseason even
more loathing for this opponent.
There is no love lost; there is no love
found, said Seahawks cornerback Richard
Sherman, who will nd himself lined up often
against Boldin in the NFC championship
game. Its going to be intense. Its going to
be physical. I dont know if there are going to
be handshakes after this one.
That almost goes without saying with the
coaches. When 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was
at Stanford where, incidentally, Sherman
played after being recruited by current
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll when he was at
Southern California he ran up the score in a
2009 win at Los Angeles that prompted
Carroll to ask him at games end: Whats your
deal.
Harbaughs deal has always revolved around
being a hard-edged player and coach. His teams
embody that attitude, and it certainly has
worked in San Francisco. The 49ers are 41-13-
1 in his three seasons in charge, are in their
third straight conference title game, and back
down from no one.
That can make for some uncomfortable
moments, whether its Harbaughs overzealous
handshakes and back slaps after wins or his
team playing up to (and sometimes beyond)
the whistle.
Lets get nasty: 49ers versus Seahawks

Mills April French, left, and Marie Cazares celebrate Frenchs goal during the Vikings 2-0 win
over El Camino in a PAL Ocean Division game Thursday.
Anquan Boldin
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For 64 minutes on Thursday, it looked like
the soccer gods were up to their head-
scratching ways again.
The last time El Camino and Mills high
schools found themselves in a girls soccer
match, the Vikings had their way with the
Colts to the tune of 7-0. So coming into
Thursdays latest rematch, a soccer game
controlled by the Vikings was something
everyone was expecting.
But for 64 minutes, the soccer gods, and
the Colts, had something else in mind.
Wave after wave of Mills attack was thwart-
ed by a wide shot, El Camino keeper Clara
Althaus or the far side referees offside ag.
And when El Caminos Rebecca Campos
hit the Mills crossbar with 13 minutes left
in a 0-0 tie, it looked like the soccer gods
were going to hook the Colts up big time
for all the improvements they had made dur-
ing practice in anticipation of a rematch
with the Vikings.
But, as it turned out, Mills had one too
many attacks that El Camino could not han-
dle.
Caitlin Ung sprung April French on a run
down the left side that the junior who in
only a few weeks into her new role as a for-
ward powered into the box and nally
beat Althaus low and to her left to give the
Vikings a 1-0 with 10 minutes left in the
game.
French also had a hand in another Mills
goal minutes later and her late-game heroic
were the key in the Vikings 2-0 victory.
We did have some scoring opportunities,
but we were still at, said Mills head coach
Caroline Tiziani about her teams rst-half
performance. And we didnt come out as
intense as I want and would expect. And
thats one of the things this year: having
good warm-ups so we come out on the eld
ready to play. I told them, Hey, if you do it
again, this is going to happen and we go 0-
0 at half. Im glad they pulled it out 2-0 is
quality. Two great goals.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. For a
brief time, Josh McDaniels was a
celebrity in Denver and he played
the part with gusto running to
the corner of the stadium after his
rst signature win and pumping
his sts at the crowd to celebrate.
This doesnt mean a whole lot
unless you can
share it with
s o me b o d y,
McDaniels said
that day.
So me t i me s ,
youre allowed
to have fun.
The fun ended
almost as
quickly as it
began.
And less than ve years after
that big win over New England
vaulted the Broncos to an unex-
pected 5-0 record, the name Josh
McDaniels stirs up far more angst
and anger in Denver than those of
the men he beat that day, Bill
Belichick and Tom Brady.
I aint got nothing to say about
him, says Broncos defensive
lineman Robert Ayers, a first-
round draft pick during the two-
year McDaniels era that Broncos
fans would love to forget.
The man who gave the Broncos a
videotaping scandal and a league-
worst defense, who alienated fans
and left the franchise holding the
bag on the Tim Tebow experiment,
returns Sunday to try to deliver
another dagger to Denver.
Hes now working as New
Englands offensive coordinator
and will try to devise the game
plan to send the Patriots to the
Super Bowl and keep his old team,
the Broncos, out of it.
A33-year-old coach with a thin
resume and a lot to prove,
McDaniels got another victory
after the New England win in 2009
to extend his tenure-opening win-
ning streak to six games. He fol-
lowed that with 17 losses over the

OAKLAND Golden State Warriors gen-
eral manager Bob Myers believes he has put
together a roster that has a real chance to
win the NBA title. He also knows so much
has to go Golden States way between now
and June for that to happen.
The streaky Warriors (25-15) will hit the
seasons halfway point Friday night at
Oklahoma City, and theyre still as tough as
any team to gure out. Golden State has
shown it has the potential to achieve the
leagues ultimate prize or just as easily
fall far short.
Until youve actually seen success in the
playoffs with your roster,
its hard to predict what
success may or may not
come, Myers said. I
think certain teams that
have been there before
like the Heat and the
Spurs who are bringing
back the same core, of
course they know those
rosters work. Were still
guring that out.
The Warriors proved in the playoffs last
year that, when healthy, they could beat
anybody. Theyve done just that for most of
this season, too, putting together even
longer stretches of success.
Golden State is 20-5 when its regulars
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre
Iguodala, David Lee and Andrew Bogut are
in the starting lineup. The Warriors also are
among the leagues best defensive teams in
opponents eld-goal percentage (second),
rebounding differential (third) and points
allowed per 100 possessions (fourth).
Its scary to think how good we are when
we click on all cylinders, Warriors coach
Mark Jackson said.

ALAMEDA Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie
never doubted he would bring back coach Dennis Allen for a
third year despite back-to-back 4-12 records.
If anything, McKenzie believes the team is on the cusp of
turning around what has been a decade-long tailspin and likes
the direction the franchise is moving under Allen.
Speaking to reporters for the rst time in more than two
months, McKenzie said Thursday that he purposely kept a
low prole while rumors swirled about
Allens job status during the nal month
of the regular season in hopes the chatter
would go away.
It was not an issue with me, McKenzie
said. I understand how things kind of go
in different directions when it gets toward
the end of the season throughout the
league when predicting whos going to be
in, whos going to be out. But I wasnt
going to play into that.
I wasnt going to add fuel to just to put
out a re that wasnt there.
Oakland ended the season on a six-game
losing streak and dropped eight of its last
nine. Allens 8-24 record after two years is
the worst of any Raiders coach in fran-
chise history since the NFL went to a 16-
game schedule in 1978. McKenzie still
gave Allen a vote of condence and point-
ed out the teams dearth of talent on the
roster.
On that front, McKenzie said he and
owner Mark Davis agree.
He saw some progress in some areas, absolutely,
McKenzie said. But its the bottom line, and like myself,
Mark wants some better results.
Denitely we lack some talent in some areas, no question.
Were fully aware of some of the places were lacking offen-
sively and defensively. Were trying to upgrade at quarter-
back, at receiver, linemen on both sides. The whole defense.
Oaklands second-year general manager also touched on
several other topics during the 45-minute conversation with
a small group of selected reporters at the teams facilities.
Dressed casually in a Raiders sweatshirt, black-and-white
shorts and shower shoes, McKenzie spoke in a quiet tone but
talked enthusiastically about heading into the offseason
armed with more than $50 million worth of salary cap space
and a full allotment of draft picks.
That was something he didnt have in either of the two pre-
vious years when the Raiders payroll was saddled with bloat-
ed contracts that limited the general managers ability to
sign other free agents.
Now you get to make some decisions from a standpoint of
... not going through the list of who I have to release to get
under the cap, McKenzie said. We can start building and
adding some players, and try to keep guys that we dont want
out. Its a heightened sense of lets get this thing going.
Among a long list of offseason decisions McKenzie has to
make is what to do at quarterback.
Terrelle Pryor beat out McKenzies hand-picked selection,
Matt Flynn, for the job coming out of training camp but lost
it to undrafted Matt McGloin midway through the season.
Both quarterbacks struggled to move the offense consistent-
l y, a big reason Oakland nished 24th in passing and 24th in
scoring.
I just want a quarterback that can be consistent and can
rally that team to move up and down the eld and make
plays, McKenzie said. (McGloin) came in and I thought he
did a pretty good job for what he was asked to do. Terrelles
got a ways to go with the decision making and the timing.
Its a process and well see what happens this offseason.
The Raiders already made one small change at quarterback,
signing journeyman Trent Edwards shortly after the regular
season ended. McKenzie hinted the team will possibly look
to bring in another veteran at the position.
McKenzie has other issues on the roster to address as well.
He said he wants to re-sign running back Rashad Jennings
and acknowledged that Darren McFadden the fourth overall
pick in 2008 will test the free agent market now that his
contract with Oakland has expired.

Thornton scored and Alex Stalock made 24 saves for his rst
career shutout and the San Jose topped the Florida Panthers
3-0 on Thursday night.

The Sharks, who defeated Washington 2-1 on Tuesday,
won consecutive road games for the rst time since taking
three straight Nov. 12-15. They beat the Panthers for the
rst time in ve games, dating to the 2008-09 season.
Leading 1-0, the Sharks scored two goals in the third peri-
od.
Nietos goal gave the Sharks a 2-0 lead. Tyler Kennedy
took a shot from the right side of the crease. Thomas
stretched to block it, but Nieto swept in the rebound at 4:44.
The Sharks stretched their lead to 3-0 when Pavelski
poked a rebound into the net at 11:46 of the third. Pavelski
leads the Sharks with 22 goals and has 13 points in his past
13 games.
The Sharks took a 1-0 lead in the second on Thorntons
breakaway goal. Thornton got a loose puck in the neutral
zone, skated in on Thomas and put the puck over Thomass
glove with 51 seconds left in the period. Thornton has 15
points in his past 13 games.
Thomas stopped 21 shots in the rst period, the most in a
period against the Panthers since they allowed 21 against
Ottawa on Dec. 3, also in the rst period.
The Sharks have been the best rst-period team in the
league with 52 goals, but Thomas was able to keep them out
of the net.
The Sharks had a 5-on-3 power play for 1:29 in the rst,
but the Panthers were able to kill off the penalty. The

As, Jaso agree to $2.3 million, 1-year contract
OAKLAND Catcher John Jaso has agreed to a $2.3 mil-
lion, one-year contract with the Oakland Athletics.
Jaso gets a $500,000 raise under the deal announced
Thursday. In addition, Jaso can earn $25,000 bonuses for
90 games started at catcher 450 plate appearances.
His rst season with the two-time defending AL West
champion As was cut short after he sus-
tained a concussion when he took a foul
tip off his mask July 24 at Houston and
complained of a headache. Initially, Jaso
was placed on the seven-day concussion
list the following day, then transferred to
the 15-day disabled list on Aug. 8.
Jaso batted .271 with three homers and
21 RBIs in 70 games.
He was among seven Oakland players
who led for arbitration.
Sports brief
John Jaso
Ive been part of games where you shot
50 times, 10 are on frame, some hit the post
but nothing goes in. The problem is, you
have to make the ball go into the back of
the net. You have to make better decisions.
We have to execute. Its a learning experi-
ence all the way around.
Im so proud of my girls, said El
Camino head coach Rachel Lauderdale.
Weve been really improving. The last
time we played Mills in the preseason we
lost 7-0 and this time, we came out and
played strong. We held them to the last 15
minutes of the game. We had a couple of
chances. We held our own.
It took an above-average effort by Althaus
for El Camino to stay in the game during the
rst half. Mills Ty Harames, Marie Cazares
and Saige Daniel had great scoring opportu-
nities throughout the period with a cou-
ple shots nding iron and others requiring
high saves by the Colts keeper.
El Camino couldnt muster too much on
offense. The majority of their chances came
from solid mideld play by Emily Ramirez
and Rebecca Cruise.
With Mills not capitalizing on their
opportunities, El Camino gained condence
and with 13 minutes left, they almost pulled
off a stunning goal when Campos was mere
inches from nding twine.
But it wasnt meant to be for the Colts.
Ung dribbled up from her defensive post,
looked up and found French. The junior then
ran onto the ball, into the box and did what
Mills hadnt done all day test Althaus
low.
She put together a key goal for us,
Tiziani said. Right person. Right time.
Good for the team. Well take it.
Acouple minutes after that, it was French
who found Cazares on a through ball that
the sophomore willed into goal after
Althaus made the initial save the shot
still had just enough mustard to inch over
the goal line.
While the offensive heroics saved Mills
in the end, it was a worthwhile performance
by the defense that kept the Vikings in the
game.
The defense is another work in
progress, Tiziani said. Theyre young
three sophomores. Its a faster game and
their condence level is something were
working on.
They learn as much from each other as
they do from me Lauderdale said. We push
them in practice but they all talk and learn
from each other. And this just shows how
much they want to improve.
Menlo-Atherton1, Burlingame 1
The Bears remain unbeaten at 3-0-1 in
league play and 7-0-3 overall after a draw
with the Panthers.
M-Agot on the board late in the rst half
when sophomore Kelsey Reed served a cor-
ner kick into the box that was nished by
freshman Katie Guenin in the 32nd minute.
The Bears outshot the Panthers 7-3 in the
rst half.
In the second half, the Bears again man-
aged seven shots on the Burlingame goal.
Burlingame was the benefactor of a M-A
miscue in the second half when a deected
shot resulted in an own goal equalizer.
In other Bay Division scores, Hillsdale
doubled up San Mateo 4-2.
Menlo School 6, Castilleja 0
Senior midelder Emma LaPorte scored
twice in the opening ve minutes and the
Knights scored four times in the rst half to
earn an easy victory over the Gators.
Sienna Stritter also scored twice while
Amanda McFarland and Jamie Corley each
had a goal in the win.
Zoe Enright assisted on a pair of goals for
Menlo (3-0-1 WBAL, 7-3-2 overall).
Chandler Wickers also recorded an assist.

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. Major League
Baseball will greatly expand instant replay
to review close calls starting this season.
MLB announced Thursday that owners,
players and umpires have approved the new
system.
Each manager will be allowed to challenge
at least one call per game. If hes right, he
gets another challenge. After the seventh
inning, a crew chief can request a review on
his own if the manager has used his chal-
lenges.
The so-called neighborhood play at sec-
ond base on double plays cannot be chal-
lenged. Many had safety concerns for middle
inelders being wiped out by hard-charging
runners if the phantom force was subject to
review.
I tell you the fans will love it, baseball
Commisioner Bud Selig said after owners
met and voted their unanimous approval.
Its another in a long list of changes that
will make this sport better than it already
is.
All reviews will be done by current MLB
umpires at a replay center in MLB.coms New
York ofce. To create a large enough staff,
MLB agreed to hire six new big league
umpires and call up two minor league umps
for the entire season. Aseventh major league
umpire will be added to replace the late Wally
Bell.
Joe Torre, MLBs executive vice president
of baseball operations, said work continues
on a proposed rule that would ban home-plate
collisions between runners and the catcher.
The rule has not been written and talks on its
content are ongoing between MLB represen-
tatives and the players union, he said.
Baseball was the last major pro sport in
North America to institute replay when it
began late in the 2008 season. Even then, it
was only used for close calls on home runs.
The NFL, NBA, NHL, some NCAA sports
and major tennis tournaments all use a form
of replay, and even FIFA and the English
Premier League have adopted goal-line tech-
nology for soccer.
I think its great, San Francisco Giants
manager Bruce Bochy said. Its about get-
ting it right, and with our technology today
we can do that in a way I dont think we will
interrupt the ow of the game.

Carroll claims the acrimony between them
is overblown.
For whatever reasons, you guys have had a
eld day with this, Carroll told reporters
Thursday. We have not been friends over the
year, we just know each other through the
games. We have a very conned relationship.
I have great respect for Jim. Thats it you
guys have had a blast with it.
Carrolls Seahawks arent exactly wallow-
ers, either. Defensively, at least, these are the
NFLs two most physical and intimidating
units.
That, in turn, can lead to ill will.
I dont hate anybody, All-Pro cornerback
Sherman said. So I dont think (theres) hate.
But passion, denitely. There will be some
passion, some dislike some strong dislike.
But there will be some intensity. Its playoff
football.
So even if we werent two teams that are
familiar with each other ... theres going to be
a lot of intensity, a lot of chippiness, and a
hard-fought game.
Where might this antipathy show most?
Try whenever Seahawks running back
Marshawn Lynch his nickname, Beast
Mode, says it all about his style of play
meets up with All-Pro NaVorro Bowman and
his fellow linebackers, the best group in the
NFL.
Or when Boldin, among the best clutch
receivers in football, uses his physicality
against Sherman, safety Earl Thomas, a fellow
All-Pro, and the rest of the games top second-
ary.
All of the matchups for Sunday are familiar
to both sides, of course. And when division
foes meet for the conference title each team
won at home this season the results hardly
are predictable.
Since the 1970 merger, there have been 15
third meetings in conference championships,
10 in the AFC, including the Seahawks losing
to Oakland when Seattle was an AFC franchise
in 1983. The 49ers beat the Rams in such a
meeting in 1989. In 10 of those games, the
host won.
What can be forecast for Sunday: hard feel-
ings all around, even if 49ers linebacker
Patrick Willis tones it down slightly.
Theres no question theres a lot of hostili-
ty between us, Willis said, but at the end of
the day theyre another football team. So,
theres always going to be dislikes. Theyre an
opponent of ours and we want to win.
If we werent in this race right now thered
be no doubt that if they were playing against
someone else, I would wish them well because
its in our division. But its us playing, so
theres not going to be any like at all there.

NFC
next 22 games and got red with four weeks
left in the 2010 season.
Obviously, his time here was a little
shorter than he probably hoped or expected,
but thats in the past, said Broncos wide
receiver Eric Decker, a third-round pick in
McDaniels second draft in Denver.
The presence of Decker, Ayers, Demaryius
Thomas, Knowshon Moreno and left guard
Zane Beadles all key cogs in the
Broncos current success adds a layer of
complexity to the discussion about what,
exactly, McDaniels left behind in Denver.
Sure, he turned out to be a callow leader, not
near ready to guide an NFL franchise. But he
didnt completely whiff on every choice.
Hes been vilied, but hes a bright,
young coach and you see what hes done in
going back to New England and being their
offensive coordinator, said John Elway,
who was brought back to the Broncos to
clean up the McDaniels mess. I dont know
why it didnt work out, other than the fact he
didnt win enough games.
But it was more than that.
It was the cheating the Broncos got
caught in an embarrassing videotaping
scandal that transpired while they were prac-
ticing to play the 49ers in London.
It was the secrecy he created an envi-
ronment of mistrust, not only with the
media, but with fans, who never felt they
were getting the full story. Shortly after r-
ing him, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen sent an
apology to ticketholders: You deserve
more from this franchise than what we saw
in 2010, and you have my word that I will
restore the culture of winning, trust and
integrity within the Broncos, he wrote.
And it was the roster successes aside,
there were also a number of mistakes: The
botched handling of Jay Cutlers ouster.
(Not that all Broncos fans disagreed with
the move itself.) The out-of-nowhere trade
of the popular and effective Peyton Hillis.
And, the move that symbolized it all
McDaniels decision to run counter to the
opinion of every other NFL front ofce and
use a rst-round pick on Tebow, and then,
just as inexplicably, to leave him wallow-
ing on the bench.
Elway hired John Fox in part because Fox
had a sunshiny disposition the franchise
sorely needed after 22 months of being
beaten down by the man they called
McHoodie. Fox made things work with
Tebow for a year and actually coaxed the
Broncos to a playoff victory. Then, they
went to New England and lost 45-10 in the
2011 divisional playoffs.
It was a pretty good indicator of how far
we had to get moving, Fox said, speaking
of the roster he inherited.
Elways decision to jettison Tebow in
favor of Peyton Manning made things right
very quickly in Denver.
Now, the story comes full circle.
It will be Manning trying to decipher the
Belichick defense, while McDaniels calls a
Patriots offense that has shined this season,
even after replacing key playmakers Wes
Welker, Aaron Hernandez and Rob
Gronkowski with a far-less-accomplished
group including Danny Amendola, Julian
Edelman and LeGarrette Blount.

medics checked him for broken bones.
There were none.
White recovered, grabbed lunch and came
out for the second contest, where he nailed
three straight jumps with three or more rota-
tions and scored 94.8. He passed on his sec-
ond run a strategic move designed to save
strength during a long weekend of qualify-
ing and nobody topped that score.
That made White the top American in two
of the four qualiers and guaranteed a spot
on the U.S. Olympic team that, though
seemingly preordained, has come with its
fair share of injuries and angst.

TRANSACTIONS
But there are still troubling
trends, too.
The Warriors average 17 turnover
per game, the second most in the
NBA. The bench also ranks at or
near the bottom in almost every
efciency category, though Golden
State is counting on a rejuvenated
Jordan Crawford acquired in a
trade from Boston on Wednesday
to shore up the spot behind Curry
the way Toney Douglas never could.
Some of those growing pains
were expected after standout
reserves Jarrett Jack and Carl
Landry departed in free agency,
when the Warriors opted to sign
Iguodala to a four-year, $48 million
deal instead. Harrison Barnes is
still adjusting to his role off the
bench after starting as a rookie, and
Golden State is counting on the 21-
year-old forward to blossom again
this spring.
Even with the reserves strug-
gling, the Warriors put together a
10-game winning streak with
seven victories coming on the
road. Other times, such as a 123-
116 home loss to Denver on
Wednesday night, the Warriors fuel
fodder that maybe theyre still a
awed team.
Were worried all the time,
Myers said. Im never not worried.
Ill be worried tonight. Ill be wor-
ried tomorrow. Thats what we do.
Were always trying to get better.
Few expected the Warriors, who
had made the playoffs just once
since 1994, to make the postsea-
son last year. Winning and win-
ning big would surprise nobody
now.
The Warriors are on pace for 50
wins, three more than last season
when they earned the Western
Conferences sixth seed, upset
Denver in the rst round and lost to
San Antonio in six games.
If you look at last year, we went
to Miami, we expected to have a
shot to win the game. Our celebra-
tion at the end of the game was like,
Wow. We won. We got it done,
said Curry, whos likely to make the
All-Star team for the rst time.
This year we went down there and
won the game and we had a sense of
like, This is what were supposed
to do.

Sacramento Kings to
accept Bitcoin for purchases
SACRAMENTO The Sacramento Kings are set to
become the rst major professional sports franchise
to accept Bitcoin virtual currency for ticket and mer-
chandise purchases.
The Kings announced Thursday that fans will be
able to buy gear from the ofcial team store and pay
for tickets with the digital money beginning March
1. Purchases will be processed through BitPay, which
accepts the digital dollars and pays the Kings in cash.
Bitcoin users buy digital money and load it onto a
virtual wallet. Unlike government-issued money, the
value of Bitcoin uctuates rapidly. At one point
Thursday, the value of one Bitcoin was worth nearly
$850.
Kings owner Vivek Ranadive said the new payment
method is part of his model for NBA 3.0, which
focuses on investments in technology, globalization
and deep community partnerships.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Not all rats look exactly alike, even ani-
mated ones. But theres a real resemblance
between a rat in The Nut Job, the new lm
by Peter Lepeniotis, and Remy, the main
character in Ratatouille, that wonderful
2007 Pixar lm.
And thats not a good thing for The Nut
Job, because anyone who makes that con-
nection will be likely also remembering
how Ratatouille showed so beautifully
that an animated lm, done with the right
skill and imagination, can be equally
enchanting to kids and adults. Something
that The Nut Job, a decent but frankly for-
gettable entry to the animal-centered ani-
mated lm oeuvre, does not.
The movie certainly looks nice. Colors
are vibrant, particularly the reddish autumn
shades of trees in Liberty Park, in ctional
Oakton City, where much of the action
takes place. Theres a lovely moment where
shimmering water reects the leaves above.
And the whole thing has a period feel
mid-20th century which is appealing,
though confusing, too, when you see char-
acters break into what looks like very 21st-
century dancing at one point.
Like most animated films these days,
The Nut Job, a joint Canadian-South
Korean-U.S. production, trades on its
celebrity voices, which here include
Katherine Heigl, Brendan Fraser, Wi l l
Arnett, Maya Rudolph and, most recogniz-
ably, Liam Neeson, who sometimes sounds
like he could be on a Shakespearean stage.
Not that you could call this dialogue
Shakespearean. Or even witty. This being a
lm about squirrels and their nuts, kids will
enjoy the nut puns, and parents will
groan. Lets not get too nutty about this,
one character says. Sorry, I went a little
nuts, says another. The movies slogan:
No nuts, no glory.
Well, at least theres an interesting
digression on the existential nature of
peanut brittle. Is it, someone asks, a nut or
a candy?
Both, comes the considered reply.
The story, based on Lepeniotis short
lm, Surly Squirrel, is simple: The ani-
mals in Liberty Park, ruled by a gruff rac-
coon (Neeson, of course) ominously just
named Raccoon, are facing a severe nut
shortage just as winter is approaching.
Surly the squirrel (Arnett), who thinks only
of himself, has somehow set re to the win-
ter stockpile. (Watch for the nice shot of
popping corn kernels from an exploding
tree it will remind you theres a reason
youre wearing those 3-D glasses.)
But Surly doesnt seem willing to help
solve the situation, and hes banished from
the park to the city.
There, he discovers a nut shop
cashews, peanuts, hazelnuts, you name it. If
he can snag that booty, hell be golden for
the winter, though that wont necessarily
Its just a little nuts
Decent but forgettable entry to the animal-centered animated film oeuvre

LOS ANGELES As Kristen Stewart,
Elisabeth Moss and Joseph Gordon-Levitt
have learned, the Sundance Film Festival in
the mountains of Utah is the ideal destination
to get away from it all and work on that career
shift.
Robert Redfords two-week celebration of
independent cinema kicks off its 30th year
Thursday in Park City, Utah, with a lineup
that includes 117 feature lms. One of them is
Camp X-Ray, in which Stewart plays
against type as a Guantanamo Bay guard who
befriends a prisoner.
Stewart, who was last at the festival in
2010 when she was promoting her role as
Joan Jett in The Runaways, says Camp X-
Ray was one of the rare scripts shed read
that made her want to work again after her
two-year acting hiatus following the
Twilight movies.
At my age its difcult to nd stuff that
isnt completely derivative, said the 23-
year-old in a recent interview. Most parts are
imitating something else that was popular.
With Snow White and the Huntsman 2
coming in 2015, Stewarts big-budget fran-
chise days are far from over. But its a little
bit more difcult to create the environment
that I thrive in on a bigger movie, she
explains. I prefer doing smaller ones.
Theyre quicker. I like intensive things and
then I like to walk away.
For Gordon-Levitt, persistence has paid
off. This will be his seventh consecutive year
at Sundance and hell be presenting the rst
three episodes of HitRecord on TV. Its the
cable TV extension (airing on the Pivot net-
work) of his HitRecord.com, a website dedi-
cated to giving artists a platform to share and
develop their work.
HitRecord started at Sundance in 2005 in a
way, says Gordon-Levitt. But it was more
of an informal hobby. Then, in 2010, it was
launched at Sundance as an ofcial production
company.
Gordon-Levitt says the fest feels like a
home away from home, which made it the
perfect place last year to debut his rst feature
lm, the porn addiction tale Don Jon.
Looking back on a whirlwind year full of
HitRecord on TV development and the suc-
cess of his acclaimed debut feature, Gordon-
Levitt says TV has required far more effort
than lm.
Everybody already knew what to do and
how to do it on Don Jon, he says.
Whereas, with making a television show
with hundreds of thousands of artists from all
over the world who are uploading their work
on the Internet, there isnt much of a prece-
dent of how you go about that. But its been
so rewarding.
Other actors and lmmakers have also
picked Sundance as their coming out party.
Last year, little-known actor Michael B.
Jordans popularity spiked when he starred in
the fests jury prize winner, Fruitvale
Station. And noted documentarian Alex
Gibney, returning this year with Finding
Fela!, has been attending the festival for
years.
Back at Sundance with two lms this year,
Mad Mens Elisabeth Moss stars in Listen
Up Philip, a New York-based comedy about
an angry writer (Jason Schwartzman) anxious
for the publication of his second novel.
Moss also stars in The One I Love, in
which she and Mark Duplass portray a mar-
ried couple on the brink of separation hoping
to reconnect on a weekend getaway.
In comparison to her role as Peggy Olson
on AMCs Mad Men, both lms have real-
ly different sensibilities, said Moss in a
phone interview. Its an especially appealing
factor for Moss, who shot the lms during
Mad Mens hiatus. I wanted to explore
things that were closer to my every day.

help out his furry friends in the park, led by
the feisty Andie (Heigl).
Of course, theres a big complication. A
group of human lowlifes plotting a bank
heist have their own connections to the nut
stash, for reasons unrelated to nutrition.
So wholl win out, the human criminals or
the park animals? And will Surly remain, er,
surly and uncooperative, or will he work
with the others? And what about Raccoon?
Is there something menacing in that deep,
husky voice?
Parents may concern themselves with
these issues, while kids may simply be
focusing on the puns, and, oh yes, the fart
jokes.
And if they get tired of those, theres
always the animated PSY yes, that PSY

roll. Never mind that this movie is supposed
to take place some 50 years before the song
came out. Its all mildly entertaining if

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
The chamber music series Music at Kohl
Mansion hosts many fine artists, but it
scored a coup on Sunday with the long-
awaited return of pianist Garrick Ohlsson.
Renowned since winning the Chopin
International Piano Competition in 1970
at the age of 22, Ohlsson is a big, tall man
with a slightly ungainly appearance.
When he sits at the piano, he looms over
the instrument.
But set his fingers on the keys, and the
most graceful and subtle sounds come out.
That made the Great Hall at Kohl Mansion
an ideal space to place his talent under a
magnifying glass for close examination.
This high-ceilinged, wood-paneled room,
centerpiece of a century-old baronial house
on the Mercy High School campus in
Burlingame, is about the size and shape of
a very wide corridor. Even filled with an
audience on folding chairs, its sound is
bright and intense. Nothing gets lost in
the air between performer and listener.
Ohlsson is renowned for his Chopin.
That composers Piano Sonata No. 3 in B
minor, Op. 58, was the evenings high-
light. Ohlsson played it with exquisite
delivery, as an instinctive cascade of beau-
ty rather than an exercise in sonata form.
Declamatory opening statements that
might require more forceful playing in a
larger hall were dialed down to increase
expression. Low dramatic rumbles further
enlivened the work. The Presto finale dis-
played an infectiously dancing rhythmic
pulse.
Most affecting in the Chopin section
were the lyrical themes. Ohlsson was able
to play these slowly while still carrying
the flow of melody across the piano notes,
creating seductive beauty. He accom-
plished this also with the variation theme
in Beethovens Sonata No. 30 in E major,
Op. 109, one of the most Chopinesque of
Beethovens piano works. The return of
the plain theme at the end of the long
movement was heartbreaking.
Also particularly fine in the Beethoven
section were the contrasting juxtaposi-
tions in the first movement between
Vivace and Adagio. These too flowed lyri-
cally.
What these works had relatively little of
was opportunities for Ohlsson to display
his distinct way with the softest of notes.
Instead, we got them in profusion in some
short pieces of Charles Griffes, the
American counterpart to Claude Debussy,
especially in The Fountain of Agua
Paola. The acoustics of the Great Hall
wouldnt permit the notes to vanish in the
air. Instead, they hung there, exuding tone
color like perfume.
Soft notes also made an appearance in
Schuberts Wanderer Fantasy. This enor-
mous, back-breaking work felt bumptious
in the presence of such delicacies by
Griffes and Chopin. Nevertheless, its tor-
rent of hot and cold running emotions had
a place for the most softly ringing hush as
well as rhythmic thunderings rather less
reflective than Chopins heavier passages.
Wanderer is a good name for this piece
featuring a recurring rhythm taken from a
Schubert song whose lyric describes a
traveler so lost he cant find his own coun-
try. The germs of a sonata hiding inside it
were buried under Ohlssons rhapsodic
approach.
Ohlsson favored the audience with an
encore in the form of Chopins quiet,
introspective Waltz in A minor, Op. 34
No. 2. One more treat introduced the con-
cert: two student musicians, cellist Jeremy
Tai and pianist Vivian Wang in a vigorous
performance of a movement from
Beethovens Sonata in A, Op. 69, an
appropriate choice to lead the listeners
into Ohlssons recital.

AIRLINE IDENTITY, AT THE SAN
FRANCISCO AIRPORT MUSEUM.
Whats in a name? Shakespeare asked
the question. If it were the name of a com-
pany, then the answer would be, quite a
lot. Corporate identity is conveyed first
and foremost by the companys name. The
importance of corporate identity design,
or brand science, has always been particu-
larly acute in the commercial aviation
industry. In general, major airlines utilize
the same equipment aircraft and
many fly to the same destinations.
Therefore, while airlines do position
themselves in different market categories,
such as business versus economy, their
core products would be virtually indistin-
guishable from each other if not for the
differentiation of their corporate identity.

New Jersey options for Super Bowl foodies
By Michele Kayal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Super Bowl wont touch down in New
Jersey until next month, but the New York
restaurant scene already is rolling out the
turf carpet.
The city with the endless appetite for
great food is going all out for the big game,
mounting a culinary spectacle in keeping
with the over-the-top nature of the event.
We go crazy for things, says Kate
Krader, Food and Wine magazines restau-
rant editor and a lifelong New Yorker. But
Im kind of astonished at the level of
things people are doing.
Exhibit A The 50 Yard Lounge. At the
intersection of Madison Square Garden and
Penn Station, the 50 Yard Lounge will offer
what amounts to a ve-day food and wine
festival with athletes. Heated roof decks,
tented plazas and restaurants will showcase
themed menus from top New York chefs
while current and former NFL players min-
gle with diners.
In some of the many chef-and-athlete
demonstrations, Michelin-starred chef
Michael White will teach Football Hall of
Famer Cris Carter to make pasta. And
celebrity butcher Pat LaFrieda will show
three-time Super Bowl champion Matt
Light how to break down meat.
Its about New York City chefs, New
York City music, and about experiencing
the Super Bowl in New York City, says
Lonny Sweet, founder of marketing agency
The Connect Group and creator of the
event. I felt I had an opportunity to show
what makes this city so great.
Super Bowl XLVIII also will give rise to
Forty Ate, a pop-up steakhouse created by
hospitality giant Danny Meyer where VIP
tables will cost $50,000 food and drink
included.
Commissioned from Meyer by the
National Football League and hosted in the
Renaissance New York Times Square Hotel,
the restaurant will serve burgers, steak and
pasta with a view of Super Bowl
Boulevard, which is a section of Broadway
converted into a street fair featuring a giant
toboggan run.
A more modest offering will be found in
Brooklyn, where the charity Taste of the
NFL will hold its annual fundraiser to com-
bat hunger. The event, which costs $700
per ticket, will bring former players as well
as chefs including Tertulias Seamus Mullen
and Cake Boss Buddy Valastro to the
Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.
Meanwhile, all across the city, independ-
ent restaurants from the famous to the
obscure are getting in on the game. A.G.
Kitchen on the Upper West Side will
enlarge its famous Cubano, stretching the
roast pork-ham-and-cheese sub to 6 feet
long.
It gets away from the Italian subs people
are used to, says restaurant co-owner
Spencer Rothschild. All of New York is
being transformed. Every restaurant should
nd a way to step up.

wings and chicken fingers, take a breather.
Crab dip and curly fries, sit this one out.
For Super Bowl foodies, New Jersey offers
a mash-up of delicacies representing just
about every culture on the planet.
Those fortunate enough to have tickets
to the game at MetLife Stadium will be able
to gorge on American, Mexican, Asian and
Italian specialties, done with a local flair,
in the Home Food Advantage food court.
Club seat ticketholders will get an even
more varied menu including sushi, sliced
beef tenderloin and garlic shrimp with
peppercorn demi-glace, blue crabcake with
pickled baby bok choy and lemon aioli, to
name a few of a host of offerings.
The food court dishes have local roots,
such as Nonna Fuscos homemade meat-
balls, inspired by stadium chef Eric
Borgias grandmother (based on some dili-
gent first-person research, they are the real
deal).
For everyone else, a 20-minute drive in
any direction from the stadium will land
you in the middle of any of a number of eth-
nic enclaves brimming with culinary
treats. And you wont even have to pay a
bridge or tunnel toll.
Borgia, who worked as executive chef for
baseballs San Diego Padres before coming
to work for Delaware North Companies
when the stadium opened in 2010, wanted
to create a local-themed food court that
brought to mind a New York/New Jersey
street fair, minus the funnel cakes and
$1.99 three-packs of tube socks. Ideas
came during several days of food touring
around the area, Borgia said.
We drove around to food trucks and little
holes-in-the-wall where people eat lunch,
he said. We wanted to do street food, but
we wanted to make sure it was authentic.
Located on the ground floor of the stadi-
um, it is a street youll wish you lived on.
Its comfort food gone rogue, starting with
a stand where you can score a linebacker-
sized grilled cheese sandwich featuring two
varieties of New York State cheddar pinned
between thick slices of Texas toast. Add a
slab of bacon on a stick dipped in
jalapeno-infused maple syrup and make
sure your cardiologist is on speed dial.
Next door, Luckys serves Asian dishes,
including noodle soup and pork-and-chick-
en steamed buns with pickled slaw and
Sriracha aioli.
For meat lovers, theres Liberty Sausage
and its kitchen sink sandwich, combin-
ing grilled chicken sausage and hot dog
with potatoes, peppers and sauce, or a pork
sausage sandwich with fresh spinach and
roasted garlic. Nonnas, in addition to its
heavenly meatballs, serves pasta and
antipasti and is adding a roast pork and
broccoli raab sandwich for the Super Bowl.
Tacos Raqueros burritos and tacos should
provide enough heat to take your mind off
the fact that it is February and you are out-
side.
Trying to sum up the multitude of food
options in the surrounding area is like try-
ing to analyze Hamlet in a tweet, but
here goes:
The best Cuban sandwiches can be found
on almost any corner in Union City, out-
side the Lincoln Tunnel and overlooking
the Hudson River. Afew miles north along
the river is Mitsuwa Marketplace in
Edgewater, billed as the largest Japanese
supermarket in the country. Head back up
and over the hill and youre in Palisades
Park, where Korean food reigns. Nothing
warms better than curry, and Jersey Citys
Newark Avenue, in the Journal Square area,
is chock-full of Indian restaurants. In
downtown Jersey City, dont miss Taqueria,
one of the areas best taco joints, as long as
you dont mind the uber-hipster vibe.
Newark, which will host Super Bowl
media day on Jan. 28, is home to the
Ironbound neighborhood, known for its
Portuguese and Spanish flavors and dishes
of paella big enough to feed a 53-man ros-
ter. Newark also has Hobbys deli, and
Calandras Italian family bakery, both of
which have attained well-deserved leg-
endary status. Equally revered is Fiores in
Hoboken, where the fresh mutz (moz-
zarella) melts in your mouth and the friend-
ly servers make what some consider the
perfect sandwich. For cheaper eats and an
authentic New Jersey experience, Libbys
Lunch (Paterson) and Rutts Hut (Clifton)
are masters of that humble American sta-
ple, the hot dog.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPENCER, Mass. For more than a cen-
tury, Catholic Cistercian monks known as
Trappists have been brewing and selling
what many beer lovers consider some of the
best in the world. Eight monasteries six
in Belgium and one each in Holland and
Austria produce the only beer recognized
by the International Trappist Association as
authentic Trappist beer.
And starting Thursday, the 63 brothers of
St. Josephs Abbey about an hours drive
west of Boston will join them, selling
the rst Trappist beer brewed outside Europe.
Their ambitious venture was hardly met
with enthusiasm by their exacting Trappist
brothers in Europe.
After all, for nearly 60 years the monks in
Spencer, Mass., had been selling jams and
jellies to help support their community.
Now they were interested in the real family
business: beer.
The journey from jams to beer started
almost ve years ago when St. Josephs sent
two monks on a fact-nding mission to the
Belgian Beer Fest in Boston. Within hours,
their European brothers were alarmed to
learn of the inquiries.
The original skepticism was because we
were outside of Europe... and Americans,
said Father Isaac Keeley, the bald, jovial for-
mer potter who has been at St. Josephs for
35 years and now directs the brewing. And
the fear we would go too big too fast.
Keeley and another monk from St.
Josephs packed up and moved to Belgium in
December 2010 to see how their European
brothers brew and to convince them that
they could properly produce an American
Trappist beer.
The European monks werent the only
ones who needed convincing. Back at St.
Josephs, a robust debate among the broth-
ers was underway. Some were concerned
about starting what would be the most
expensive enterprise ever undertaken by the
abbey.
But everyone agreed the aging monastery
buildings were getting increasingly expen-
sive to maintain. In the end, more than 85
percent of the American brothers voted for
the project.
We see it as a 50-100 year project. (Just)
as were standing on the shoulders of those
who came before us and built these building
and supported the way of life, hopefully
future generations will be able to stand on
our shoulders, what we are doing and we
see the brewery as part of that, said Father
Damian Carr, head of St. Josephs Abbey.
The European monks, warming to the idea
of an American Trappist beer, began giving
close counsel to their Massachusetts broth-
ers.
The European monasteries made three
strong recommendations: To brew beer of
Trappist quality they must build a state-of-
the-art brewery, hire a skilled brewing engi-
neer, and brew just one kind of beer for the
rst ve years. The St. Josephs monks set
to work and built a multi-million-dollar
brewery that would be the envy of almost
any microbrewery in the world.
Securing their bank loan an amount
they wont disclose was made easier by
the success of the monks previous business
venture, Trappist Preserves.
The European brewers, wanting a beer that
wouldnt damage the Trappist brand, agreed
to help the Americans develop a good
recipe.
After more than 20 trial batches, the
monks in Massachusetts settled on the
recipe for what would become Spencer
Trappist Ale, a refectory ale of 6.5 percent
alcohol. The cloudy, golden beer is all-
American yet rooted in European tradition
with sweet, yeasty notes familiar to fans of
other Trappist ales.
With beer in his suitcase, Keeley ew last
month to Belgium, seeking his brother
monks blessing. He first delivered a
PowerPoint presentation on the new brew-
ery, then poured glasses of Spencer Trappist
Ale for his European counterparts.
They approved it unanimously, he said,
and after the vote there was applause.
With the Europeans on board, a U.S. dis-
tribution deal was signed. Sales will only be
in Massachusetts at rst, but plans are to
expand nationally and someday, interna-
tionally.
Monks brewing beer like European brothers

In a hydra-headed Oscar race, American
Hustle, 12 Years a Slave and Gravity
all have legitimate claims to favorite sta-
tus. And thats a good thing.
Even if a front-runner emerges from the
much-nominated trio over the six weeks
leading up to the 86th Academy Awards on
March 2, the credentials of each lm should
be plenty to heighten nerves and add to the
drama on Oscar night.
Its an extremely competitive year, said
David O. Russell, whose American Hustle
landed 10 nods, tied for most with
Gravity, in nominations announced
Thursday from Beverly Hills, Calif. It
could go any which way.
Steve McQueens 12 Years a Slave, an
unflinching depiction of 19th century
American slavery, trailed close behind with
nine nominations, including nods for
McQueen, lead actor Chiwetel Ejiofor and
supporting players Michael Fassbender and
Lupita Nyongo. Since its festival debut,
its been seen by many as the movie to beat,
a lm bearing heavy historical gravitas that
the lighter American Hustle and the liter-
ally weightless Gravity cant match.
But Russells wild Abscam comedy, thick
in 1970s style, has ridden a wave of enthu-
siasm for its manic performances. Its three
in a row for Russell, too, who may be due
for bigger Oscar wins than his much-nomi-
nated lms Silver Linings Playbook and
The Fighter managed. Ayear after Silver
Linings Playbook landed nominations in
all four acting categories, Hustle managed
the same feat with Amy Adams, Christian
Bale, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper
all receiving nods.
Then theres Gravity, which, along
with nominations for director Alfonso
Cuaron and lead actress Sandra Bullock,
exerted its force with nominations in all
seven technical categories. With $670 mil-
lion in worldwide box-ofce, the 3-D space
odyssey is easily the most popular of the
best-picture nominees, widely credited with
reinvigorating the spectacle of the big-
screen experience.
The three lms will vie in the best picture
category with Captain Phillips, Dallas
Buyers Club, Her, Nebraska, The
Wolf of Wall Street and Philomena. If
any of them poses a dark-horse threat, its
Martin Scorseses The Wolf of Wall
Street, a nearly three hour-long portrait of
hedonism and greed that some have said
glories former trader Jordan Belfort.
The Wolf of Wall Street landed ve big
nominations, including best director
(Scorsese, his eighth for directing), best
actor (Leonardo DiCaprio), best supporting
actor (Jonah Hill), and best adapted screen-
play (Terence Winter). DiCaprio, now a
four-time nominee, said he felt vindicated.
To be recognized like this and to see that
there were enough people out there who
said, Look, we get what this lm is not
what its trying to say, but what its trying
to reect, said DiCaprio. Nobody wants
to be misunderstood.
The nominations seemed to favor new
blood over esteemed veterans. In an espe-
cially strong best actor race, Tom Hanks
(Captain Phillips) and Robert Redford
(All Is Lost) were surprisingly left out.
Emma Thompson was omitted from best
actress, and her lm, Disneys making-of
Mary Poppins tale Saving Mr. Banks,
was overlooked in the best picture category.
The best actor category is led by rst-time
nominee Matthew McConaughey, whose
Texas HIV drama Dallas Buyers Club
earned six nominations.
Im at home in Malibu, having a cup of
tea, catching the sunrise. My newborns
walking around, said McConaughey,
whose nod capped a remarkable reinvention
by the actor after sliding into mediocrity.
What a great alarm clock and news to wake
up to this morning.
Others enjoying their first nod were
Ejiofor, McQueen, Fassbender, Barkhad
Abdi (a limo driver before being cast as a
Somali pirate in Captain Phillips), 84-
year-old June Squibb (Nebraska) and Jared
Leto, who had devoted himself to music
before returning to play a transsexual in
Dallas Buyers Club.
Said Leto: Yesterday I was doing jury
duty, today I woke up with an Academy
Award nomination. Only in America.
Even 77-year-old Bruce Dern, nominated
for best actor for his performance as a gruff,
taciturn wandering Montana man in
Nebraska, has an uncommon youthful
vigor. Few have taken more pleasure in
awards season than Dern (nominated 35
years ago for Hal Ashbys Coming
Home), revitalized by a lm hes happily
viewed, he estimates, approaching the
upper 30s.
I cant see it enough to realize how lucky
we all were with the collaboration that went
on on this particular movie, said Dern. I
feel somehow that the industry has suddenly
today put their arms around our little
movie.
The black-and-white Nebraska earned
six nominations, including best director for
Alexander Payne.

Kimmels show heads
to SXSW festival in March
PASADENA Jimmy Kimmel is taking
his late-night show to Texas for the South
by Southwest festival.
ABCs Jimmy Kimmel
Live said Thursday it
will air five shows in
March from Austin. The
Texas city hosts the
international showcase
for music, lm and inter-
active projects thats in
its 28th year.
Kimmels guests will
include celebrities and musical performers
from South by Southwest. Comedy seg-
ments shot at the festival and around Texas
also will be part of the shows.
Jimmy Kimmel Live will air from
Austin beginning March 10. Kimmel
quipped that hell be the guy covered in
barbeque sauce.
His shows visit to South by Southwest
comes just weeks after NBCs Tonight
Show passes in February from host Jay
Leno in Los Angeles to Jimmy Fallon in
New York.
Ayear ago, Kimmel moved his show back
a half-hour, to 11:35 p.m. Eastern, in direct
competition with Tonight and David
Lettermans show on CBS.
The road trip is Kimmels rst since his
time slot change. In 2012, the show visited
New York for a week and posted one of its
top-rated weeks in its nearly 11-year run.
Showtime climate
change series travels globe
PASADENA Producers of a Showtime
series on global warming due this spring
said Thursday it was crucial to get celebrities
and Republicans involved to spread the sto-
ries beyond people who already believe its
an important issue.
The series, Years of Living Dangerously,
begins April 13.
Former California Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger, a Republican who was in
Pasadena to promote the series, is among the
celebrities who travel to different sites to
illustrate the impact of climate change. Matt
Damon, Jessica Alba and Don Cheadle also
participate.
We want to break down the tribalism on
this issue, said David Gelber, a former 60
Minutes producer who is helping make the
series. You ask people what they think
about climate change and they say, I dont
like Al Gore.
Along with Schwarzenegger, Staten Island
Rep. Michael Grimm, R-N.Y., is involved
talking about the impact of Superstorm
Sandy on his district. Schwarzenegger talks
about the impact of wildres, an important
issue in California and other western states.
Gelber initially wanted to make a movie
on climate change and met with veteran
Hollywood producer Jerry Weintraub, who
steered him to television and helped open
doors in his world.
Scientists will never get the attention
that someone in show business will,
Weintraub said.
Duck Dynasty greeted

NEW YORK Nielsen says Duck

That audience was slightly higher than for
Octobers fourth-season nale of the A&E
reality show. But last summer, 12 million
viewers caught the fourth-season premiere.
Set in Louisiana bayou country, Duck
Dynasty follows a family that manufac-
tures duck calls and loves to go bird hunt-
ing.
Wednesdays airing gave viewers their
rst fresh look at the series since it got
caught up in an uproar.
Phil Robertson, the family patriarch, was
briey suspended by A&E after GQ magazine
quoted him declaring that gays are sinners
and African-Americans were happy under
Jim Crow laws. Supporters of Robertsons
right to voice his opinions ocked to his
defense before the network reinstated him.

the Peninsula Multifaith Coalition will
gather a variety of volunteers to help
give back at events throughout the
county.
About 200 kids from the San Mateo
and Foster City schools as well as kids
from various churches throughout San
Mateo have submitted Advancing the
Dream inspired works, which they
performed on Wednesday and Thursday.
The contest will culminate with the
winners reading their writings on
Saturday at the King Center, said event
organizer Anita Webb.
[The contest] teaches the kids about
King and what he stood for. Because our
history is sometimes not told and what
King stood for was equal rights, for all
kids. This is a diverse community,
youll see kids from all ethnicities rep-
resenting themselves and expressing
themselves through writing, Webb
said.
There will be six winners per grade
and although the kids are competing
for monetary donations, its real pur-
pose is learning how to show love and
compassion for one another, Webb
said.
Theyre learning how to resolve
their differences in a peaceful manner,
Webb said. The main theme is peace
and love towards one another and what
[they] get a lot of too, is that the kids
feel like they can make a difference.
The preschool through fourth-
graders read their poems or essays
aloud on Wednesday and the fifth-
through 12th-graders participated on
Thursday. The winners will be
announced Saturday morning and recite
their works from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.,
Webb said.
[King] was a great speaker and the
kids are encouraged to want to speak
well and a lot of them do. They look at
what hes done and they look at the
peaceful way hes done it and it really
does help the kids, Webb said.
Immediately following Saturdays
award ceremony, the Unitarian
Universalists of San Mateo will be
honoring King with its 25th annual
reception comprised of a pot luck,
speakers, music and birthday cake, said
Jennifer Martin, co-chair of the event.
Martin also has two children compet-
ing in the Advancing the Dream
themed essay contest.
Its important that they know the
legacy of Dr. King and carry it for-
ward, Martin said. They learn how to
integrate [Kings message] into their
poems and about what his dreams were
and how they apply today.
Bullying is much too prevalent in
schools nowadays, so its vital to teach
compassion and equality, Webb said.
Im hoping that the speeches and
what the kids are saying reaches some
of those kids that are bullying and
maybe make them feel like theyre
accepted and equal. Because bullying is
starting from something or, I think
maybe, a lack of something, Webb
said.
The contestants come from diverse
backgrounds and ethnicities; having
them write about their own experiences
and interpretations of Kings life and
teachings will help raise a generation
of children who strive to live in accept-
ance and love, Webb said.
The equally diverse Peninsula
Multifaith Coalition will also be enact-
ing the works of King through several
volunteer activities on the Jan. 20 hol-
iday.
The grassroots PMC was founded in
2012 by members of 16 different faith-
based organizations with religions
ranging from Christianity, Judaism,
Buddhism, Islam, Catholicism and
other denominations, said PMC repre-
sentative Karen Wisialowski. The
organization thrives on bringing
those of various backgrounds to share
in their cultures and philanthropic
beliefs, Wisialowski said.
Our purpose is to get together and
work together in the community. And
in the process of doing that, we get to
know each other, Wisialowski said.
Last year, PMC gathered about 175
volunteers; this year they are expect-
ing more than 300 people,
Wisialowski said.
PMC is kicking off the holiday at
8:30 a.m. with a breakfast at the First
Presbyterian Church of Burlingame
before volunteers are dispersed to vari-
ous service sites. Outreach events
include preparing and serving lunch for
residents at a homeless shelter, class-
room improvements at a local school,
distributing winter coats and books, a
youth choir singing for the elderly and
crafting items for Ukrainian orphans,
Wisialowski said.
Collaborating with people from all
walks of life and beliefs to show com-
passion and promote equality is the
most sincere way to spend the holiday,
Wisialowski said.
We are all different faith groups and
each one of us in our tradition believes
very strongly in contributing to the
community and in social justice,
Wisialowski said. And of course,
Martin Luther King was all about social
justice, so it makes sense that we come
together on this day.

DREAM
realigned inmates staying in jail for
longer periods of time, a public retail
vocational store to train reentry and
furlough inmates, along with overall
seismic upgrades.
Munks said the projects wont start
for at least a year and half after the new
Maple Street Correctional Center in
Redwood City is finished because
inmates and programs will need to be
shifted over from Maguire to make
room for the expansion. For example,
the video visitation area once up and
running will create space for child care
and the retail store.
We will start the process
and the design but wont be
able to do any construction
until the new jail is open
and were able to reduce the
population, Munks said.
The new facility will
house realignment inmates,
all female inmates and oth-
ers serving time or transi-
tioning back into the com-
munity. Maguire will con-
tinue being used for book-
ing and holding pretrial and
higher-level offenders and
those who require maximum
security, administrative seg-
regation or special gang
housing. Some areas in
Maguire like the outdated
kitchen will be moved to the
new jail which will free up
more space for new use.
Another factor that might
slow expansion progress is
the states bond process
which requires review of
every step, Munks said.
The state funds require a
10 percent local match
which the county plans to pay from
the general funds excess property tax
reserves from scal year 2014-17 and
$598,000 in-kind staff time by the
county administration and jail plan-
ning unit.
But while ofcials lauded the states
nal stamp of approval, opponents of
new and expanded jails statewide held
rallies Thursday and denounced what
they said was needless spending.
These jail construction plans are
dangerous and devastating to our com-
munities, said Luz Flores, an organ-
izer with the Youth Justice Coalition,
in a prepared statement.
The coalition along with
Californians United for a Responsible
Budget held rallies in Santa Cruz and
Los Angeles to protest the jail con-
struction allocations. Munks said pro-
testers were also present outside the
board meeting in Sacramento.
I understand some of what theyre
talking about although we disagree
but what troubles and disappoints me
is their lack of being forthright and in
some cases making inaccurate
claims, Munks said, citing a specic
example of debate over chemical
cleanup at the Maple Street
Correctional Center.
Munks said the groups blanket
claims are not applicable to individual
counties issues and needs.
It might be an easier approach but
its not a very helpful one, he said.

EU poised to suspend some sanctions on Iran
BRUSSELS Sometime between breakfast and lunchtime
Monday, a message will arrive in Belgiums capital that
should set in motion an international diplomatic machine,
affect billions of dollars blocked in banks and have repercus-
sions from U.S. college campuses to oil tankers on the seas.
In Tehran, inspectors from the International Atomic
Energy Agency are expected to certify that day whether Iran is
respecting its engagement to rein in its nuclear program,
which the Obama administration and U.S. allies fear is direct-
ed at producing a bomb.
If the inspectors are satised the Iranians are keeping their
word, European Union governments, with the White Houses
blessing, are poised to deliver with surprising swiftness on
their end of the deal: a six-month suspension of some of the
sanctions that are hobbling Irans economy.
Foreign ministers of Britain, Germany, France and the rest
of the EU member countries will be in Brussels on Monday
for one of their periodic meetings.
EU ofcials said Thursday the plan is that within 30 min-
utes of receiving an email, phone call or other form of com-
munication from IAEAinspectors or their bosses in Vienna,
the foreign ministers will unanimously approve the neces-
sary changes in European Union legislation, and transmit
their decision to the trade blocs ofces in the neighboring
country of Luxembourg.

CAIRO An overwhelming majority of
Egyptians who voted on the countrys new
constitution backed the draft charter, a sen-
ior Egyptian ofcial said Thursday, despite
criticism from an international monitoring
group of a clampdown on free speech ahead
of the election.
The election ofcial told the Associated
Press that unofcial results after most of the
ballots had been counted indicated that
more than 90 percent voted yes on the
constitution. He declined to give an esti-
mate on the nal turnout and spoke on con-
dition of anonymity because he is not
authorized to talk to journalists.
The interim government is looking not
only for a strong yes majority but also a
large turnout to win undisputed legitimacy
and perhaps a popular mandate for the mili-
tary chief, Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, to
run for president later this year.
An incomplete estimate published by the
state news agency MENA showed a turnout
of about 40 percent in Cairo and in Egypts
second largest city, Alexandria, both higher
than in the 2012 referendum on the
Islamist-backed constitution.
In the western border province of Masra
Matrouh, which has a sizeable constituency
of Islamists, turnout was the lowest, with
only 20 percent of voters showing up, in
comparison to 36.5 percent participation
in 2012.
In the southern province of Assiut, con-
sidered a stronghold of Islamists but with a
large Christian population, participation
was slightly less than in 2012, dropping
from 28 percent to 25 percent.
The Election Commission said results
will be announced Saturday evening.
The vote held Tuesday and Wednesday was
a milestone for Egypts interim govern-
ment, installed by the military after a July
coup toppled Islamist President Mohammed
Morsi following mass protests demanding
that he step down.
Many considered the vote as key to
restoring stability and supporting the cur-
rent government in the face of continued
opposition and protests from Morsi sup-
porters.
But on Thursday, students rallied outside
the campus of the University of Cairo and
fought with security forces. Police red tear
gas, pushing the students back and later
arrested 23, authorities said.
An Interior Ministry statement said it
later deployed forces to clear clashes on
campus between pro- and anti-Morsi stu-
dents, and that one student was shot and
killed. It was not immediately clear who
shot the student.
The draft constitution is a heavily amend-
ed version of a charter written by Morsis
Islamist allies and ratified in December
2012 with some 64 percent of the vote but
with a nationwide turnout of just over 30
percent. Morsis Muslim Brotherhood
group and other Islamist groups boycotted
this weeks referendum, calling it illegiti-
mate and vowing to keep up protests.
The countrys second-largest Islamist
group, the ultraconservative Salas, largely
stayed away from the polls. That left tradi-
tional Islamist strongholds across Egypt
seeing only a trickle of voters during the
two-day balloting.
