RIOT POLICE MOVE IN AGAINST KIEV PROTEST CAMP

Beach fecal contamination is
not being caused by any activity
at Pillar Point Harbor but rather
from upland sources, according to
a recently released study by the
San Mateo County Resource
Conservation District.
Though the report revealed no
smoking gun, it did rule out
decades of sometimes contentious
assumptions about the cause
from dogs on beaches to sewer
leaks at the harbor north of Half
Moon Bay.
One of the signicant ndings
of our study is the high counts of
bacteria are landscape issues.
Bacteria is not coming from the
harbor, activities in the harbor or
even because the harbor doesnt
flush. Its noteworthy that its
coming from behavior and sources
upland, said Kellyx Nelson,
executive director of the San
Mateo County Resource
Conservation District. So people
need to make a better connection
between their activities upland
and the effects on water quality in
the harbor.
The primary focus of the study
was Capistrano Beach, which the
State Water Resources Control
Board identied as signicantly
impaired. The county
Environmental Health Division
has also permanently posted it
with potential health warnings
and it is on the Save the Bays list
as one of the most impaired beach-
es in Northern California, Nelson
said. The RCD study also exam-
ined ve other harbor beaches as
well as the live-aboard harbor
boats.

Anew health-focused quick serv-
ice shop serving Greek yogurt,
with savory and sweet fresh top-
pings, coffee, tea and salads just
popped up in Burlingame and it
comes with a very personal story.
Robert Tabz, owner of Jougert
Bar (pronounced Joe-gert) on
Burlingame Avenue, hadnt
planned on working in the food
industry, but that all changed after
interactions with his mother who
was suffering from Alzheimers
disease. At 1:30 a.m., two weeks
before his mother Sedi, a choco-
latier, passed away, she was in a
coma.
I told her, mom this really
sucks, youre 65, you didnt get to
enjoy your life and this is how its
going to end? recalled Tabz, who
ultimately opened the store on
Feb. 1. You didnt get to retire or
relax; youre not a good example
for me right now. I asked her,
please somehow show me theres
a reason to move on and live. Give
me some hope.
He said at the time, she gathered
everything she had, woke up,
opened eyes said OK, then went
back into a coma. That in itself
was happiness for him, he said. A
20-minute ride home took him an
hour and a half because he was so
disoriented.
On Nov. 28, 2012, he said his
mother came to him in his dreams,
telling him he should create a
quick service healthy food restau-
rant with Greek yogurt and healthy
toppings. At the time he was
working for Oracle, but he had

Marlboro cigarette ads. The next two
top icons are Ronald McDonald and
the Jolly Green Giant.
***
Established in 1924, Marlboro brand
cigarettes were originally marketed
toward women. Their slogan was
Fresh as the month of May. In 1955,
the company changed the brand to a

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A25-year-old Woodside military veteran
was sane at the time he allegedly assaulted
his cousin with a shovel and grabbed for a
responding sheriff deputys gun, according
to court-appointed doctors.
If convicted, Milo McIntosh Imrie will
then have a sanity trial with the same
jurors weighing his guilt on the assault
charges. The doctors sanity conclusions
will be admitted as evidence in that phase
for jurors consideration. A not guilty by
reason of insanity conclusion means Imrie
will be committed to a state mental hospi-
tal rather than incarcerated. Imrie already
spent one stretch at Napa State Hospital
last year after being found incompetent to
stand trial but doctors there returned him
to San Mateo County in
August after deeming his
mental state restored.
Prosecutors say Imrie
is thought to have post-
traumatic stress disorder.
Imrie was arrested Dec.
12, 2012, after allegedly
threatening his 22-year-
old cousin with a gaso-
line can and claims he
planned to kill him and himself through
either fire or the use of a knife. The cousin
took a butcher block of knives from the
kitchen and threw it on the roof but, when
his back was turned, Imrie struck him in
the back with the shovel and fled, accord-
ing to prosecutors.
Deputies found Imrie at the nearby
Menlo Country Club on Woodside Road
where he reportedly resisted arrest and
tried grabbing the gun. He was placed on a
psychiatric hold but, while being trans-
ported to jail the next day, he ran from the
patrol car when its door was open.
Before he could be tried, Imries defense
attorney questioned his competency.
Competency is a persons ability to aid
in ones own defense while sanity is his or
her mental state at the time of an alleged
crime.
Imrie is free from custody on $25,000
cash bail.

A San Carlos man who forced a standoff
with SWAT ofcers after locking himself
inside a bar over the weekend and refusing to
leave is a second-striker awaiting trial on
unrelated charges.
Paul McNerney, 42, reportedly locked
himself inside Sodinis Bar at 727 El
Camino Real around 10:50 a.m. and told the
owner to call SWATif she wanted him gone.
The owner did just that and Redwood City
police closed the 700 block of El Camino
Real in both directions while negotiating
his exit. Ofcers nally
entered the bar just before
3 p.m. to remove
McNerney and reported he
appeared under the inu-
ence of alcohol or drugs.
Although causing a
police standoff is itself
not a crime, McNerney
was charged Tuesday with
a misdemeanor count of
resisting arrest and interfering with a peace
ofcer. He was ordered back to court Feb. 19
to set a preliminary hearing and also returns
Wednesday morning for a hearing to surren-
der his $40,000 bail bond in an earlier case.
At the time of his most recent arrest,
McNerney was awaiting an April 1 jury trial
on two felony counts of carrying a dirk or
dagger on Oct. 19, 2013. McNerney also
has two prior strikes on his criminal record
from four previous prison commitments.
Neither the October nor this recent case can
count as strikes if he is convicted because
they are not considered violent or serious.
McNerney remains in custody.

Groups wont seek pot legalization in 2014
Local briefs
SAN FRANCISCO Acoalition of leading
drug reform groups has decided against pursu-
ing a ballot initiative this year to legalize the
adult use of marijuana in California.
Drug Policy Alliance Deputy Executive
Director Stephen Gutwillig said Tuesday that
while polling suggests California voters
would support such a measure, members of the
Coalition for Cannabis Policy Reform want
to wait until 2016 so they would have more
time to raise money and build public support.
The coalition already had the Secretary of
States clearance to circulate petitions for a
legalization initiative, but wont proceed in
gathering the signatures needed to qualify it
for the November ballot.
A different group also has a legalization
measure pending, but the coalition led by the
Drug Policy Alliance includes politically
powerful organizations such as the ACLU, the
NAACP and Law Enforcement Against
Prohibition.

WASHINGTON Boosting the federal
minimum wage as President Barack Obama
and congressional Democrats are propos-
ing would increase earnings for more than
16.5 million people by 2016 but also cut
employment by roughly 500,000 jobs,
Congress nonpartisan budget analyst said
Tuesday.
In a report containing ammunition for
both supporters and opponents of the
Democratic election-year proposal, the
Congressional Budget Office said gradual-
ly raising the minimum from $7.25 hourly
to $10.10 would lift 900,000 people
above the federal poverty level by 2016.
That is out of 45 million who would other-
wise live in poverty without an increase.
But the analysis also noted a down side:
About 0.3 percent fewer jobs, higher costs
for business owners and higher prices for
consumers.
The study was unveiled as the Senate
prepares for a March debate on the
Democratic plan ramping up the minimum
in three steps to $10.10 by 2016. The
proposal is backed by Obama and is a key-
stone of Democrats campaign-season
plans to highlight their effort to make
incomes more equitable, but it faces
strong Republican opposition and long
odds of approval by Congress.
The analysis immediately added fuel to
the partisan dispute over the proposal. It
put authoritative weight behind long-time
GOP claims that increasing the minimum
wage would cost jobs by forcing compa-
nies to spend more on wages.
This report confirms what weve long
known: While helping some, mandating
higher wages has real costs, including
fewer people working, said Brendan
Buck, spokesman for House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio. With unemployment
Americans top concern, our focus should
be creating not destroying jobs for
those who need them most.
Democrats have said such claims are
overblown and outweighed by the benefits
to workers and the overall economy as
low-paid employees spend more money.
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, author of the
Senate legislation, cited other research
concluding that a higher minimum wage
would create jobs, not reduce them.
And as the CBO report affirms, an
increase in the minimum wage will help
lift families out of poverty, Harkin said.
The study also examined the impact of
boosting the minimum wage to just $9
hourly by 2016. That lesser increase
would have smaller effects: About
100,000 fewer jobs, higher wages for 7.6
million workers and 300,000 people lifted
out of poverty.
The report said the increase to $10.10
would add $31 billion to the earnings of
low-wage workers. But it noted that only
19 percent of that increase would go to
families earning less than the poverty
threshold, while 29 percent would go to
families earning more than triple the
poverty level. That is because many low-
wage earners are not in low-wage families.
Budget office: Wage hike would lift pay, cost jobs
REUTERS
Obama signed an executive order last Wednesday to raise the minimum wage for federal
contract workers to $10.10 an hour starting next year and encouraged employers nationwide
to increase wages for their workers.
SACRAMENTO As tuition costs rose
over the last six years, a record number of
California college students applied for
financial aid, according to federal data
reported by a newspaper.
The number of California residents fil-
ing the federal financial aid application
jumped nearly 74 percent over the six-
year period, The Sacramento Bee report-
ed on Tuesday based on data from the
U.S. Department of Education. Some
colleges saw even higher increases
such as an 81 percent rise among appli-
cants at California State University,
Sacramento.
Over all, in the 2012-13 academic year,
2.65 million graduate and undergraduate
students based in California filed federal
financial aid applications, according to
the U.S. Department of Education.
Part of it is the economy, Judy
Heiman, with Californias Legislative
Analysts Office, told the Bee. Wi t h
higher unemployment, more families
qualify for financial aid. And certainly
higher tuition helps kick some families
into the category of having financial

PARKDALE, Ore. People on the West
Coast have counted on fish hatcheries for
more than a century to help rebuild popu-
lations of salmon and steelhead decimated
by overfishing, logging, mining, agricul-
ture and hydroelectric dams, and bring
them to a level where government would
no longer need to regulate fisheries.
But hatcheries have thus far failed to res-
urrect wild fish runs. Evidence showing
artificial breeding makes for weaker fish
has mounted. And despite billions spent
on significant habitat improvements for
wild fish in recent decades, hatchery fish
have come to dominate rivers.
Critics say over-reliance on costly
breeding programs has led to a massive
influx of artificially hatched salmon,
masking the fact that wild populations are
barely hanging on and nowhere close to
being recovered. Recently touted record
runs were made up mostly of hatchery fish,
and scientists are concerned that hatchery
fish could completely replace wild fish
though state and federal officials say they
are working to address the problem.
Lawsuits could lead to changes at fish hatcheries
well as Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium
that causes Lyme disease, in ticks they sam-
pled in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
They found ticks infected with one or both
bacteria in nearly every park they exam-
ined, surprising since until now the
Northeast has been the focus of the disease.
The study underscored the importance of
awareness and prevention, said Ana
Thompson, executive director of the Bay
Area Lyme Foundation. What surprised us
the most is we found ticks with Lyme dis-
ease in places we didnt expect, like in drier
areas like chaparral and grasses, not just in
the forest.
She said exposure to Borrelia miyamotoi
causes side effects similar to Borrelia
burgdorferi, but researchers dont know as
much about it. Health consequences of Lyme
disease are fever, headache, fatigue and
sometimes a telltale rash that looks like a
bulls-eye centered on the tick bite. If left
untreated, the infection can cause arthritis,
joint pain, immune deciencies and a per-
sistent cognitive fog. Most people recover
with antibiotic treatment but, for unknown
reasons, some patients who suffer from a
variety of Lyme-like symptoms find no
relief from the normally prescribed therapy.
People who have difculty getting diag-
noses maybe this is involved, Salkeld
said in an official statement, and she
believes Borrelia miyamotoi could be the
culprit.
Changes in climate and the movement of
infected animals may be partly to blame for
the move of Lyme disease west. Last sum-
mer, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention reported as many as 300,000
Americans contract Lyme disease annually,
a rate 10 times higher than previously
reported. The new figure, the result of
national laboratory surveys and a review of
insurance information, reects that Lyme
disease is not well diagnosed or reported by
many doctors, a press release stated.
Salkelds research is funded by the non-
prot Bay Area Lyme Foundation, which
was founded by residents of Portola Valley
who were alarmed by the number of people
with the disease in their community.
Bonnie Crater, the groups vice president,
said she and others were frustrated with an
apparent lack of regional medical knowl-
edge on the issue, along with the difculty
of diagnosing and treating the disease.
This is not cancer, she said in an ofcial
statement. Its bacteria, and weve had
antibiotics for over 100 years.
Meanwhile, Kathleen ORourke, a co-
founder and advisory board member of the
foundation, was diagnosed with Lyme dis-
ease along with her 9-year-old son after
being told for months the disease didnt
exist in California. She caught the disease
in her backyard in Woodside.
Diagnostics is the number one thing in
terms of getting care, she said in an ofcial
statement.
After a year and a half of heavy antibiotic
doses, her son was back to normal, but she
suffered through four years of treatment and
lingering symptoms. She said the pain of
unmedicated childbirth was nothing com-
pared to the excruciating pain she felt,
describing it as liquid re in the joints.
When someone is infected, it can take
weeks before blood tests detect antibodies.
Additionally, tests sometimes return false
positives and false negatives. Current test-
ing capabilities make it hard to determine
whether the infection has been cured. An
interdisciplinary Lyme Disease Working
Group at the Stanford School of Medicine is
exploring ways to improve diagnostic tests
and medical understanding, evaluate the
effectiveness of new therapies, expand clin-
ical services and build greater public aware-
ness.
Tick season is year-round, Thompson
said. Know the importance of prevention.
Also, documenting where you might have
been bitten helps get the diagnostic.
The Stanford Woods Institute for the
Environment does have tips for avoiding
exposure to the disease including staying in
the middle of trails; avoiding brush, wood
piles and logs; checking thoroughly for
ticks (especially in hair) after spending
time outdoors; checking pets who can bring
ticks indoors; and if you develop symptoms
(fever, headache, fatigue or rash), consider
consulting a doctor knowledgeable about
Lyme. Thompson also recommends apply-
ing any insect repellent with DEET in it.

The San Mateo County Harbor District,
which oversees both Pillar Point and Oyster
Point Marina Park in South San Francisco,
contributed $15,000 to the multi-year
study.
The harbor is kind of a victim in this sort
of thing, because the stuff doesnt originate
there its not caused, according to the study,
by activity in the harbor, said Peter
Grenell, general manager of the San Mateo
County Harbor District.
People have known about the high levels
of bacteria at Pillar Point beaches for years
and various hypotheses as to who or what
was to blame was a polarizing community
issue for decades, Nelson said.
We were concerned that although there
were a number of theories, there hadnt been
any science done to test those hypotheses
and determine what might be the source. And
furthermore, we were concerned that people
might feel obligated in expending signi-
cant resources in trying to address one of
the hypotheses without a good likelihood
that the money spent would actually address
the real problem, Nelson said.
Even though the RCD study didnt identi-
fy a smoking gun, it was valuable as it ruled
out unfounded theories, Nelson said.
Neither harbor birds nor canines on the
beach are of cause so efforts to prohibit dog
walking would be moot. The bacteria isnt
from human feces, so theories about leaky
sewer lines or live-aboard boat waste are
unfounded, Nelson said.
Discovering the contamination wasnt
from human feces went a long way to
assuage fears about severe public health
concerns, said Dean Peterson, the countys
environmental health director. The main
source of pollution came from wildlife
sources and bacteria or viruses found in ani-
mals that arent typically contagious to
humans, Peterson said.
The study found a major pollutant was
bovine feces contaminating Deer Creek, but
that creek doesnt run into Capistrano
Beach so its not an encompassing explana-
tion, Nelson said. And while the study does-
nt pinpoint the original source of bacteria
but that its from uphill activity, the RCD
can now go about establishing effective rec-
ommendations, Nelson said.
Controlling wildlife fecal input into the
storm drain system is not feasible so the
focus is now on changing human behavior
and cleaning the water before it reaches the
beaches, Nelson said.
The RCD will continue to develop sugges-
tions and mitigation efforts including pub-
lic outreach and education, effective uses of
planting vegetative buffers, ways to clean
storm water and drains before it reaches the
beaches and further water quality monitor-
ing, Nelson said.
The Harbor District has no jurisdiction or
control over residential behavior upland in
nearby El Granada but it is continuing to
ensure Pillar Point behavior doesnt con-
tribute to the fecal pollution, Grenell said.
The RCD has trained several members of
the Pillar Point Harbor Patrol now taking
samples of water in the boat basin and con-
tributing them for further study, Grenell
said.
Both Grenell and Peterson agree the RCD
has a strong track record of working with
private individuals and public entities. A
major component of resolving the problem
will be educating and working with
landowners to change how they manage ani-
mal waste and behavior, Peterson said.
Its a matter of continuing education,
Peterson said. We really need people to
understand what goes into the storm drain is
going to be affecting the harbor and eventu-
ally the Pacic Ocean.

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

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama wants to put major emerging trade
deals with Europe and Asia on a fast track
to congressional passage. But with midterm
elections looming, many fellow Democrats
are working to sidetrack them instead.
At the same time, Obama has found an ally
in a traditional foe, Republican House
Speaker John Boehner.
If ratied, the proposals the Trans-
Atlantic and Trans-Pacific Trade and
Investment Partnerships would create the
largest free-trade zone in the world, cover-
ing roughly half of all global trade.
In his State of the Union address, Obama
asked Congress to give him trade promo-
tion authority, usually known as fast track,
to negotiate the twin trade deals. But the
separate negotiations with the European
Union and 11 Pacic Rim nations are gener-
ating strong emotions at home and abroad.
Many Democrats up for re-election in
November are fearful of drawing primary-
election opposition over the trade talks.
Concerned about lost jobs that are impor-
tant to labor unions, theyre abandoning
Obama on this issue.
Late last year in fact, 151 House
Democrats, roughly three quarters of the
chambers Democratic membership, signed
a letter to Obama signaling their opposi-
tion to granting him fast-track trade author-
i t y.
Obama said his goal in requesting such
authority was to protect our workers, pro-
tect our environment and open new markets
to new goods stamped Made in the USA.
But the president, never known as an enthu-
siastic free-trader in the past, has yet to
make an all-out push for the authority,
which was last approved by Congress in
2002 for President George W. Bush but
expired in 2007.
Meanwhile, some European allies are
pushing back, still peeved over disclosures
of National Security Agency surveillance of
them.
Obama had hoped an agreement could be
reached on the trans-Pacic talks before he
visited Japan and other Asian nations in
April. The Pacic talks are further along
than the Atlantic ones.
But the trans-Pacic talks have been com-
plicated by disputes over environmental
issues and resistance in some Asian coun-
tries to a wholesale lowering of trade barri-
ers. Also, U.S. standing in the region took
a hit when Obama missed the Asia-Pacic
Economic Cooperation meeting last
October because of the American govern-
ment shutdown.
Obama, fellow Dems are
at odds on big trade bills
By Bradley Klapper and Julie Pace
WASHINGTON With peace talks fail-
ing, Syrias government on the offensive
and moderate rebels pushed aside by al-
Qaida-linked militants, the Obama adminis-
tration is struggling for new ideas to halt a
savage civil war.
Extending beyond Syria, the crisis is also
an accelerating national security threat to
the United States, ofcials say. And that, in
part, has led to a fresh look at previously
shelved ideas, including more robust assis-
tance to Western-backed rebels.
Ofcials also have looked at newer, more
far-reaching options, including drone
strikes on rebel factions who might aspire to
attack the United States though such
strikes are seen as unlikely for now.
American ofcials remain hampered by the
same constraints that have stymied the U.S.
response throughout the three-year civil war,
including concern that lethal assistance
could end up in the hands of extremists. And
then there also is President Barack Obamas
own distaste for military action.
Speaking cautiously, White House
spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday, We
have to examine what the alternatives some
might be proposing are and whether theyre
in our national security interest. He added
that the administration also was concerned
about whether stepped-up intervention could
lead to unintended consequences.
Obama has yet to approve any policy
shift. His top aides plan to meet at the
White House before weeks end to examine
opt i ons. And last week, intelligence
chiefs from the U.S. and several other
countries met in Washington.
AWestern ofcial said that meeting indi-
cated there was new motivation to see what
more could be done, including strengthening
the moderate opposition and ramping up
humanitarian assistance. The renewed focus
has been sparked in part by the apparent
impasse in the Geneva peace talks and by
increasing concerns about the potential ter-
rorist threat emanating from Syria, accord-
ing to the ofcial, who was not authorized to
discuss the matter by name and spoke only
on condition of anonymity.
In recent weeks, Obamas senior national
security aides have also delivered dire warn-
ings about extremist havens in Syria, and
about Americans and other Westerners join-
ing the ght and being radicalized.
Syria has become a matter of homeland
security, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh
Johnson said this month.
In separate testimony before Congress,
National Intelligence Director James
Clapper estimated there were about 26,000
extremists in Syria, including around 7,000
foreigners, in an insurgency encompassing
75,000 to 110,000 fighters. Jabhat al-
Nusra, for example, one of the most powerful
rebel factions, has aspirations for attacks
on the United States, he said.
By any account, the current U.S. policy of
sending limited military aid for Syrias mod-
erate opposition coupled with support for
U.N.-brokered peace talks between the
rebels and Syrian President Bashar Assads
government isnt working.
Appalling scenes of emaciated children
leaving the besieged city of Homs last week
underscored the desperate plight of many
Syrians.

Utah mom buys all of stores indecent T-shirts
SALT LAKE CITY Amother upset about indecent T-
shirts on display at a Utah mall found a quick if not espe-
cially convenient way to remove them: She bought every
last one.
Judy Cox and her 18-year-old son were shopping
Saturday at the University Mall in Orem, about 40 miles
south of Salt Lake City, when she saw the shirts in the
window of a PacSun store.
The shirts featured pictures of scantily dressed models
in provocative poses.
Cox said she complained about the window display to a
store manager and was told the T-shirts couldnt be taken
down without approval from the corporate office. She
then bought all 19 T-shirts in stock, for a total of $567.
She says she plans to return them later, toward the end of
the chain stores 60-day return period.
The shirts cost about $28 each on the website for
PacSun, which sells beach clothes for teenagers and
young adults.
These shirts clearly cross a boundary that is continual-
ly being pushed on our children in images on the Internet,
television and when our families shop in the mall, Cox
said in an email to the Associated Press.
The story was first reported by The Daily Herald of
Provo.
An employee at the Orem store said Tuesday she wasnt
authorized to speak about the issue and referred questions
to the companys Orange County, Calif., corporate head-
quarters. PacSun CEO Gary Schoenfeld said in an emailed
statement the company takes pride in the clothes and
products it sells, which are inspired by music, art, fashion
and action sports.
While customer feedback is important to us, we remain
committed to the selection of brands and apparel avail-
able in our stores, Schoenfeld said in the statement.
Families celebrate
Olympics at backyard sled track
MASON, Mich. Two Michigan families are celebrat-
ing the Olympics with a massive sled track they built into
a backyard hill.
WILX-TV reports the Baker and Hines families came up
with the idea for a luge track in Mason, located southeast
of Lansing.
The course is about 200 feet long and includes a tunnel
and a rendering of the Olympic rings. Doug Hines says
they used two tractors with front-end loaders to create the
course. He says it took about three days to build and a few
hours to cover with ice.
His wife, Amy Hines, says its a memory maker for
the kids.
Family members and guests use sleds to speed down the
curving course. Thad Baker says daily maintenance is
done to ensure safety.

WASHINGTON While some lead-
ing Democrats are reluctant to condemn
the dragnet surveillance of Americans
phone records, the Republican Party
has begun to embrace a libertarian shift
opposing the spy agencys broad pow-
ers. But the lines are not drawn in the
traditional way.
The Republican National Committee
and civil libertarians like Kentucky
Sen. Rand Paul have joined liberals
like Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth
Warren on one side of the debate a
striking departure from the aggressive
national security policies that have
dened the Republican Party for gener-
ations.
On the other side, defending surveil-
lance programs created under the Bush
administration and continued under
President Barack Obama, are Florida
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio,
Democratic former Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton, and the
House and Senate leadership of both
parties.
As a result, the debate about whether
to continue the National Security
Agencys sweeping surveillance tac-
tics has highlighted intraparty divi-
sions that could transform the politics
of national security. The split in each
party could have practical and political
consequences ahead of the 2014
midterm elections. There are already
signs that the debate is seeping into
the next presidential contest.
Speaking Tuesday to New Hampshire
voters, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.,
cited the spy agencys surveillance
methods as another example of broad
overreach in what he called Obamas
imperial presidency. Issa called for
reforms that would ensure American
people are represented during secret
court proceedings that decide the scope
of the NSA surveillance. Obama has
called for more oversight, too, and
Issa stopped short of endorsing the
plan to eliminate the bulk collection
program.
Congress may address government
surveillance this spring in one of its
last major moves before members head
home to focus on the November elec-
tions. But if Congress punts the sur-
veillance debate to next year, it would
resurface just as the presidential pri-
mary campaigns are beginning.
The bulk collection of Americans
phone records was authorized under
Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act.
Details of the program were secret
until June when a former NSAsystems
analyst, Edward Snowden, leaked clas-
sied documents that spelled out the
scope of the governments activities.
The bulk collection provision in the
law is set to expire June 1, 2015,
unless Congress acts to renew it.
More than a decade after the 9/11 ter-
rorist attacks, Americans have become
less willing to support invasive sur-
veillance tactics in the name of
national security. Recent polls show a
sharp decline in public support for the
NSAprograms.
The Obama administration justies
continuing the surveillance program,
in part, by pointing to Congress con-
tinued approval and support. In an
effort to win back public trust, Obama
has called for some changes that would
provide more privacy protections and
transparency but not end the program.
Clinton, the overwhelming
Democratic favorite should she seek
the presidency, has been virtually
silent on the NSA debate for months.
Last fall she called for a full, compre-
hensive discussion about the prac-
tices but also defended the surveil-
lance. From my own experience, the
information-gathering and analyzing
has proven very important and useful
in a number of instances, she said. A
Clinton spokesman declined to offer
further comment last week.
NSA program exposes
divisions in both parties
By Mary Clare Jalonick
WASHINGTON Need olive oil?
American shoppers are more likely to
pick a European brand, which is cheap-
er and viewed as more authentic than
U.S.-produced olive oil.
But U.S. producers contend that
extra virgin olive oil from Europe
may not be as pure as you think.
Theyve asked the federal government
to intervene by imposing stricter stan-
dards on the imports, which now make
up 97 percent of the market.
Olive oil production is steadily
growing, and the domestic industry
says it has gone from 1 percent of the
national olive oil market ve years ago
to 3 percent today. Most of that is in
California, though there are smaller
operations in Texas, Georgia and a few
other states.
U.S. producers are seeking to build
on that growth in a struggle reminis-
cent of the California wine industrys
push to gain acceptance decades ago.
Theyve mounted an aggressive push
in Washington, holding olive oil tast-
ings for members of Congress and lob-
bying for stricter standards on imports.
The strategy almost worked last year
when industry-proposed language was
included in a massive farm bill passed
out of the House Agriculture
Committee.
The provision backed by California
lawmakers would have allowed the
Agriculture Department to extend
mandatory quality controls for the
domestic industry to imports. The
bills language would have allowed
government testing of domestic and
imported olive oil to ensure that it was
labeled correctly.
That testing, intended to prevent
labeling lower-grade olive oil as extra
virgin or fraudulently cutting in other
types of oil, would be much more com-
prehensive than what imported oils are
subjected to now. Extra virgin olive oil
is considered to be the highest quality.
But the language on labeling was
stripped from the bill on the House
oor, an effort led by lawmakers from
New York, where many of the countrys
olive oil importers are based. They had
the backing of food companies and
grocery stores that use and sell olive
oil.

Commissioner Brennan
and the Harbor District
Editor,
Commissioner Sabrina Brennan is
ghting the San Mateo County
Harbor Commission to make the pub-
lic marinas better for boaters, mer-
chants and taxpayers.
Pietro Parravano and Wi l l
Holsinger take full health, dental and
life insurance benets for a part-time
job at $40,000 per year for each of
them for life. Arelative of a former
commissioner may be getting these
benets for life even though the for-
mer commissioner is dead.
Commissioner Brennan doesnt
take these benets. The state
Legislature is proposing to stop ben-
ets like this for part-time govern-
ment ofcials.
The commission and marina staff
are very strongly aligned against
Commissioner Brennan. Board mem-
bers are on record complaining about
the lengthy meetings that have
resulted from their blockading
Commissioner Brennan. The board
members average $1,100 an hour for
the few hours they spend doing their
job.
The San Mateo County Civil Grand
Jury is investigating the district.
Only Commissioner Brennan is ask-
ing for an investigation into the
pile of missing checks and request-
ed the leaky sewer pipe under
Johnson Pier be replaced.
Commissioner Brennan pushed for
Wi-Fi at both marinas. Commissioner
Brennan has pushed for a new strate-
gic plan to replace the outdated 1991
Master Plan. Commissioner Brennan
requested an outside consultant to
help the board overcome their dis-
function.
Commissioner Brennan has repeat-
edly requested the board to reconsider
three commercial sh buying leases.
This is at the request of the three sh
buyers.
Commissioner Brennan is against
downsizing the Harbor Patrol because
of the many lives it has saved.
Vote these bums out of ofce. It
wont stop their benets for life, but
it will save money and improve the
marinas.

Are we all addicted?
Editor,
Uh oh. Now the Republicans wont
even make a peep about the legisla-
tion coming out of Washington
increasing the U.S. debt ceiling,
which, by the way, seems to be occur-
ring at least once every quarter now.
Our country just increased our bor-
rowing limit without even a discus-
sion about the ramications of our
enormous national debt. We are
zooming past $17 trillion in debt on
our way to $18 trillion. Does that
scare the hell out of anyone else in
this country? Or are we all going to
just pretend together that this
impending catastrophe is imaginary.
I am used to the Democratic Party not
being concerned about decits and
unfunded liabilities but when the
Republicans are scared not too even
challenge this irresponsibility, we
have some major problems coming
our way.
I guess we have collectively thrown
in the towel as a country in trying to
address our out-of-control borrowing
and spending. Hand in hand as we
march toward the proverbial cliff,
oblivious that we are fast approach-
ing the point of no return. Ignorance
is bliss until it isnt.

Letters to the editor
I
t was the interview heard round
the world when Bode Miller
cried. It was a bit much and per-
haps a little sympathy would have
told the NBC interviewer to let off the
gas when the U.S. Olympic skier
started showing emotion. On the
other hand, the interviewer Christin
Cooper sensed she could press a well-
remembered TV moment by continu-
ing to ask Miller about his emotional
state as he talked about winning the
bronze medal in the Super-G event. It
worked, and Miller broke down into
tears. While he brought it up, it was a
cringe-worthy moment for many of
those watching.
Taking a step away from the contro-
versy about whether Cooper went too
far, what can we learn from Miller and
his experience?
Miller is a great skier, long known
to be one of the best. However, he has
been constantly dogged by his own
shortcomings, both professional and
personal. He is known for his disas-
trous performance in the 2006 Turin
Winter Olympics in which he said he
got to party and socialize at an
Olympic level.
Always known to say that medals
are not the goal, rather the experi-
ence, he has been both criticized and
lauded and criticized for his devil-
may-care attitude and abilities.
Miller has had both a good and a
bad year. His brother died of seizures
and he was in a custody battle for his
infant child. He also got married and
seemed to have a more reective and
professional attitude about his per-
formance in this years games. Both
self-effacing and critical, he seemed
to want to do well both for his story
line and for his team and country.
Maybe the loss of his brother put
things in perspective for him he
was granted tremendous gifts and he
should use them to the best of his
ability.
Winning a medal is never easy, and
it seemed this year was not going his
way, as it was for many on the
American team. When he turned in a
front-runner race early in the Super-G
competition, he seemed to know it
may not be enough to stay on the
medal stand, and yet, when the camera
panned to him, he seemed to really
care about the result. When the racing
was nished, it revealed a tie for third
for him and a chance to stand on the
medal stand. He stood for an interview
with American Andrew Weibrecht,
who won second place and soon broke
down after being pressed about his
emotions during these games and the
race. For a man who always said win-
ning wasnt the point, and that
medals didnt matter, it sure seemed
this one did. Maybe its because, for
Miller, the experience was the point,
and when lifes experiences turned
tumultuous, specically when his
brother died, obtaining the stature of
a medal gave some quantiable mean-
ing to his existence. Thats what
awards do. They indicate a known
accomplishment, one that can be
immediately explained to others.
Miller is an accomplished skier
and, at 36, knows that his long run is
nearing an end. Rather than being
known for what could have been, he
is seeking what was. And for some-
one like Miller, who was known for
immaturity, it reveals that perhaps he
has grown up and realized that there is
more at stake than his own thrill.
Perhaps he was proud of himself for
trying his best and winning a perch
on the medal stand, for achieving a
symbol of success in a trying year.
Perhaps he misses his brother and
wishes he had more time with him.
Perhaps it was all of the above.
What we have seen is a shift in
Miller and it reveals the complexity
of the human spirit and its ability to
always move forward.
What we learned from Bode Miller
GMO feats, kids car seats
A
s long as GMO foods remain unlabeled, they
are likely to continue to elicit fear and distrust
of not only the biotechnology industry, but
also its federal regulators. Marian Nestle, Eat, Drink
and Vote.
While reading this newspaper Jan. 23, two items right
next to each other caught my attention. The rst one,
States weighing labels on genetically altered food. In the
absence of federal regulation, states from Rhode Island to
Hawaii are considering laws to require labels on food items
containing genetically modied ingredients.
The second, New rules sought to make car seats safer,
covers the requirement that child car seats would for the
rst time have to protect children from death and injury in
side-impact crashes under regulations the government pro-
posed Wednesday.
So what might these have to do with each other, you
might ask? Well, both are very crucial to our childrens
health. Of course its important that when children ride in
cars, they have the best protection possible in case of an
accident. Government has gone to great lengths to enact
laws that require well-made
safety seats.
Now consider the fact that
70 percent of our food prod-
ucts contain at least one
ingredient made or derived
from genetically modied
crops. Our children are eat-
ing such foods on a regular
basis, but GMO altered
crops have never been tested
for the long-term safety for
anyone. Of course, the
industry claims they are
absolutely safe. So why
should we believe them?
More than 40 countries
(including Japan, Australia and most of Europe) require
labeling of any products containing GMO technology. But
our government regulators allow the industry to have its
way with them in spite of the fact that there is no proof that
such products are safe. Could that have anything to do with
the fact that Michael Taylor, the Food and Drug
Administration commissioner for foods, was Monsantos
former attorney and later its vice president?
It was also recently reported that the FDAis getting ready
to revise 20 year old nutrition labels. They are considering
including a more prominent display of the number of calo-
ries, the amount of added sugar and percent of whole wheat,
etc. Maybe theyre trying to make us think that theyre
doing something important. Yet they do not say when the
new guidelines might be released since the FDAhas already
been working on this issue for a decade. Food processing
companies spent over $28 million last year on lobbying
efforts, some of which were aimed at the FDA. And how
much do you think that Monsanto and related industries are
spending in their crusade to ght propositions that aim to
require the labeling of GMO products?
In my research on the subject (including The Institute for
Responsible Technology), I offer more reasons that GMOs
should be thoroughly investigated by the government
(besides the Michael Taylor connection). They include:
The toxic insecticide produced by GM corn was found in
the blood of pregnant women and their unborn fetuses.
Although there is not sufcient research to conrm that
GMOs are a contributing factor to the numerous health prob-
lems that increased after GMOs were introduced in 1996,
doctors groups such as The American Academy of
Environmental Medicine tell us not to wait before we start
protecting ourselves, and especially our children who are
most at risk.
GM crops and their associated herbicides can harm
birds, insects, amphibians, marine ecosystems and soil
organisms. They reduce biodiversity, pollute water resources
and are unsustainable.
The U.S. government allows companies to put other GM
foods on the market without even notifying the FDA.
Independent research and reporting is attacked and sup-
pressed. Attempts by media to expose problems are often
censored.
In spite of what Monsanto would like us to believe,
GMOs do not increase yields and work against feeding a
hungry world. Instead of focusing on the food needs of the
developing world, food biotechnology companies engage
almost exclusively in research on rst-world agriculture
genetically modied corn, soybean and cotton bioengi-
neered to resist weed killers made by those very same corpo-
rations. Nestle.
For every child who may be harmed because of a child seat
that isnt strong enough, many, many more children are
threatened with harm (now and in the future) by a technolo-
gy that has not proven to be safe for anyones consump-
tion. This is one egregious example of how our government
caters to corporate interests instead of safeguarding the well-
being of the rest of us. According to numerous public opin-
ion polls, more than 90 percent of Americans want geneti-
cally engineered foods to be labeled. What are we waiting
for?

Big movers

NEW YORK U.S. stocks closed
mostly higher Tuesday as traders got
back to work after a long holiday week-
end.
It was a fairly quiet day for investors,
who had relatively little news to react
to.
Health care stocks rose more than the
rest of the market after pharmaceutical
company Actavis said it was buying
rival Forest Laboratories for $25 bil-
lion in cash and stock.
Investors liked the deal, which is
intended to make the companies more
competitive in a rapidly changing
industry and allow them to command
higher prices from insurance compa-
nies. Actavis makes the generic ver-
sions of hyperactivity disorder medica-
tion Concerta and the cholesterol drug
Lipitor, while Forest Labs makes the
Alzheimers treatment Namenda.
The Dow Jones industrial average
lost 23.99 points, or 0.2 percent, to
16,130.40. The Dow was dragged lower
by Coca-Cola, which fell $1.46, or 4
percent, to $37.47.
Coke reported that its income and
sales fell in the fourth quarter compared
with the same period a year ago. The
company said sales volume declined 1
percent in North America, its largest
market.
The Standard & Poors 500 index rose
2.13 points, or 0.1 percent, to
1,840.76. The Nasdaq composite rose
28.76 points, or 0.7 percent, to
4,272.78.
Forest Labs and Actavis were among
the biggest gainers in the S&P 500
index. Forest Labs soared $19.65, or 28
percent, to $91.04 and Actavis rose
$9.59, or 5 percent, to $201.47.
Other drug makers also rose sharply.
Gilead Sciences rose $2.60, or 3 per-
cent, to $83.81 and Eli Lilly rose
$1.05, or 2 percent, to $55.25.
The Forest Labs-Actavis deal is the
latest in big-name, big-budget deals to
be announced so far this year. Last week
cable giant Comcast announced a deal
to buy Time Warner Cable for $45 bil-
lion and Japans Suntory Holdings
announced last month it was buying
Beam, the maker of Jim Beam and
Makers Mark whiskey, for $13.9 bil-
lion.
Investors should expect more large
deals this year, said Mike Serio, region-
al chief investment ofcer at Wells
Fargo Private Bank.
This has been building up for
three or four years now, he said.
Companies have so much money
on their balance sheets and theres
only so much you can do with it.
You could increase your dividend.
You could buy back stock. You
could spend it on (business invest-
ments), or you can do deals.
The stock market is extending its
gain from last week, when the S&P 500
increased 2.3 percent. Investors liked
what they heard from Federal Reserve
Chair Janet Yellen, who said she
planned to continue her predecessors
market-friendly policies for the time
being.
The markets turnaround last week
was especially notable given the rough
start to the year. The S&P 500 has risen
seven out of the last eight days.
I would be very surprised if we dont
see the market move back to its highs
very soon, said Randy Frederick, a
managing director at Charles Schwab.
Even with the markets recent rise,
both the Dow and the S&P 500 are still
down slightly for 2014. The Dow has
lost 2.7 percent, the S&P 500 just 0.4
percent.
Investors had two minor economic
reports on Tuesday to work through.
Both suggested that the bitter winter
weather that has enveloped much of the
nation the last two months has been
holding back the U.S. economy.
The New York Federal Reserves
Empire State survey showed that manu-
facturing slowed in the region in
February far more than economists
expected. Meanwhile, a survey of the
housing market showed homebuilder
condence fell sharply in February, due
to the severe weather.
Stocks edge higher in quiet, post-holiday trading
U.S. credit card late
payments up in 4Q from 3Q
LOS ANGELES Many Americans took
on more credit card debt and failed to make
timely payments in the final quarter of
2013, when consumers typically crank up
spending on holiday shopping.
Even so, the national late-payment rate
remained close to its lowest level in six
years, credit reporting agency TransUnion
said Tuesday.
The rate of credit card payments at least
90 days overdue was 1.48 percent in the
October-December quarter. Thats up from
1.36 percent in the previous three-month
period, but down from 1.61 percent in the
fourth quarter of 2012, the rm said.
Under Armour stumbles
in Olympic sponsorship
NEWYORK The 2014 Sochi Olympics
were expected to be a triumphant moment for
the U.S. speedskating team and the
squads sponsor, Under Armour.
Its been anything but that.
After a strong showing on the World Cup
circuit, the team headed to the Games in skin-
suits that Under Armour developed and called
the fastest speedskating suits in the world.
Not only has no U.S. skater won any
medals yet with seven speedskating events
to go, but the sportswear company that made
their high-tech Mach 39 suits is being
blamed in part for the downfall.

Because the Serra basketball team is so
perimeter oriented, the Padres have lived
and died with their outside shooting this
season.
Tuesday, in the rst round of the West
Catholic Athletic League playoffs against
visiting No. 7 seed Bellarmine, the second-
seeded Padres managed to knock down just
15 of 52 shots.
While Serra may have struggled offen-
sively, its defense was just ne. The Padres
held the Bells to just 23 percent shooting
from the eld 10 of 44 as Serra sur-
vived a fourth quarter surge by the Bells to
post an ugly 47-33 victory.
It wasnt pretty. We never play well (in
this tournament opener) game, said Serra
coach Chuck Rapp. We got it done. At this
point, its win and advance.
Serra will now host the winner of No. 6
St. Francis/No. 3 St. Ignatius Friday at 7
p.m. in the WCAL seminals.
Serra (19-6 overall) held a comfortable
double-digit lead for most of the game. In
the fourth quarter, however, the Padres, who
led 37-23 going into the nal eight min-
utes, went more than ve minutes without a
point as Bellarmine (9-15) opened the peri-
od with a 8-0 run, cutting the Serra lead to
six, 37-31, with 3:51 to play.
But then up stepped Serra senior guard
Sean Watkins, who drained a 3-pointer from
the left corner to push the lead back to nine,
sparking a 10-2 run to end the game.
That was a big 3. Thats what senior
guards do, Rapp said. He delivered when
wee needed it.
Watkins finished the game with 10
points, while backcourt mate Danny
Mahoney scored a game-high 12 but
Padres struggle, survive Bells
Craig Schoof, longtime Menlo School
baseball coach and athletic director,
announced last week he will be stepping
down from both positions at the end of the
school year.
I have decided it is time for me to look for
a different challenge, Schoof said in a press
release. Every 10 years or so I have
enjoyed challenging myself with some-
thing new and now it is time for a big
leap into a completely new environment.
As a baseball coach, Schoof led the
Knights to ve Central Coast Section titles
(1988, 1989, 2004,
2010 and 2011) and two
other championship
appearances (2012 and
2013). In 2012, he was
named the ESPN
Rise/Cal-Hi Sports state
coach of the year. He also
guided Menlo to 16
league titles.
In his 14th year as the
schools athletic director, Schoof have
overseen a program that has captured 120
league titles, 30 CCS crowns, 15 Northern
California championships and two state
championships. During his tenure, the
Knights have won at least one CCS title
each year and every sport has won at least
one league title.
Craig has done a tremendous amount of
work and dedicated much time and energy
toward helping build the athletics program
during his time at Menlo, said Head of
School Than Healy in a press release. He
deserves all of our thanks for his efforts.

Carlmonts Brooke Buckley, left, and Burlingames Alysse LaMond battle for control of the ball
during the Scots 1-0 win over the Panthers Tuesday.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Soha Saids strike in the 59th minute
turned out to be the games only goal in the
Carlmonts win over Burlingame Thursday
afternoon.
The loss was the rst in Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division play for the Panthers,
who also all but saw their chances of win-
ning the division title go by the board as
well.
Woodsides scoreless tie with San Mateo
gave the Wildcats a one-point lead over
Burlingame in the race for the Bay Division
championship with one game to play in the
regular season. The Panthers will need a win
Thursday, coupled with a tie or Woodside
loss, to win the Bay Division crown.
The kids are heartbroken. They really are
heartbroken, said Burlingame coach Philip
DeRosa. They really wanted the champi-
onship.
Dont expect a lot of sympathy from
Carlmont, however. Two weeks ago, the
Scots were part of a three-team tie atop the
Bay Division standings, along with
Woodside and Burlingame. Over the span of
three games, however, the Scots went 1-2
and dropped into third place, where they are
rmly entrenched.
In three games, we went from rst to
third, said Carlmont coach Tina Smith.
Everything we now practice for is to go
into [the Central Coast section playoffs] on
a high.
Carlmont (8-3-2 PAL Bay, 12-4-3 overall)
took a step toward that Tuesday by beating
Burlingame (8-1-4, 10-3-5). Not that it was
easy. The Panthers had the better chances in
the opening 40 minutes, but could not capi-
talize on their opportunities.
In the 11th minute, a mistake by the
Carlmont goalkeeper nearly cost the Scots.
She came way off her line to clear a ball
toward mideld, but it was intercepted by
Burlingames Rachel Byrd. From 50 yards,
Byrd saw the Carlmont keeper was nowhere
near the goal and decided to take a shot. As

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia David
Wise considers himself a dad and husband
rst, a freestyle skier second.
That might be why he also became an
Olympic champion.
Soaring through sloppy snow and sleet,
Wise won the rst gold medal in the young
sport of halfpipe skiing Tuesday, outclass-
ing a eld in Sochi that had trouble with the
slow, waterlogged conditions.
Sightlines were less than perfect on the
rst true soaker of a night at the action-
sports venue, but not so bad that Wise could-
nt look down from the top and see his wife,
Lexi, and the rest of his family members
cheering at the base of the halfpipe.
Many of them were holding big pop-out
pictures of his 2-year-old daughter, Nayeli,
stapled to wooden sticks.
To see that face looking back up at me
was cool, Wise said.
After placing a heart-shaped rock Lexi
gave him into one pocket, the 23-year-old
from Reno, Nev., dropped into the halfpipe
and scored a 92 a mark that held up to beat
Canadas Mike Riddle by 1.4 points.
Kevin Rolland of France took bronze.
That podium pretty much went to form, a
fact not lost on Wise or any of the others,

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. The setbacks that
limited Giants second baseman Marco
Scutaro to 127 games last year have done
nothing to tarnish the optimism and gusto
he brings to the game.
Scutaro arrived at San Franciscos spring
training headquarters Tuesday and
announced he intends to play a full season.
I want to get to the point where I do all
the stuff every day and be ready for the next
day, Scutaro said. I want
to be ready for 162
games.
A bad back and occa-
sional neck trouble
plagued him the entire
2013 season and a man-
gled left pinkie eventual-
ly shortened his season.
His little finger still
doesnt look right
with bends in the wrong places but he can
hold a bat comfortably.
His back feels better now than it did at
this time last year though he and the Giants
intend to take things slowly this spring.
I dont want to put a number on it,
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Well go
by where hes at and how he feels.
Scutaro returned to the lineup a week after
getting hit by a pitch by Pittsburgh Pirates
reliever Tony Watson last June 11 and

SPORTS 12

On a wet, cold Friday earlier this month,
nearly 1,400 raucous fans turned out in
Millbrae to view a set of four Peninsula
Athletic League basketball games between
boys and girls teams from host Mills High
School and visiting rival Burlingame.
The turnout at the glittering, expanded
Mills gymnasium which features ample
seating on all four sides, closed-circuit TV, a
new snack bar, a spectacular glass-walled
lobby and other sparkling additions rep-
resented one of the largest crowds of the year
in San Mateo County for basketball at any
level.
For Mills, it was by far the biggest home
basketball gathering since the school
opened more than 50 years ago. Those in
attendance were entertained during the nal
two contests by the driving rhythms of the
tireless Mills pep band, gyrating varsity
cheerleaders from both schools and the nim-
ble Mills dance squad. The joint, as they say,
was jumpin. And then some.
The bottom line: It was one more upbeat
indication that the PAL continues to evolve
and adapt.
In terms of facilities, crowd counts, stu-
dent-athlete participation and overall organ-
ization and governance, the PAL is forging
ahead briskly right now as it and its member
schools change with the times.
This circumstance, which cannot be
measured only in terms of wins and losses,
has been years in the making. The improve-
ments have been incremental but quite sub-
stantial when taken as a whole, historic in
fact.
All the while, the PALs 17 signature pub-
lic schools, stretching from Daly City to
Menlo Park and over to the Coastside, along
with a collection of associated private
schools, have made it a point to endeavor to
adhere to tenets that nourish and instruct
teen student-athletes, with an emphasis on
the student part of the equation.
Terry Stogner has been commissioner of
the PALfor the last nine years. Before taking
that post, he was a teacher, coach and athlet-
ic director at Carlmont High School in
Belmont, from which he graduated in 1960.
All told, he spent 42 years at the school.
The PAL executive position has proven
to be a natural step for him. And it has come
at a propitious time, just as the ve member
public school districts, for the most part,
were in the process of dramatically upgrad-
ing their athletic amenities, from
football/soccer elds and swimming pools
to gymnasiums and tennis courts. The total
cost of this frenzy of sports construction
throughout the county, the bulk of it funded
by generous taxpayers (and some signicant
donations), is estimated to be close to $200
million. And more is coming.
Through the years, Stogner, with the
considerable assistance of the PALs policy-
makers, has been able to institute key
changes designed to upgrade the league and
its sports offerings even as the PALcomes to
grips with the countys big demographic
shifts, distinctly different levels of member
schools funding capacities/administrative
commitments, overall resources and other
factors bearing on competitive athletics
from school to school.
Besides the huge outlays for new and
improved sports facilities, the league, dur-
ing Stogner's busy tenure, has, among other
things:
Moved back mid-week starting times for
some sports (volleyball and basketball in
particular) to make them more accessible for
more fans.
Continued to increase the number of
Friday night football games.
Solidified the PAL
post-season basketball
tournament which is
being played this week,
beginning Wednesday
night.
Adjusted the basket-
ball schedule to allow for
more traditional rivalry
quadruple-headers on
Fridays. Stogner
explains, Schools make their money on
Fridays.
Added supplementary private schools to
the 2014 baseball schedule to accommodate
competitive balance, especially in the North
County where interest in baseball is waning.
Brought back junior varsity teams and
adding more freshman teams (2014-15).
Instituted open rosters (2014-15) to
allow much more exibility between varsi-
ties and their feeder teams during a full sea-
son.
Continued to seek reasonable parity
between boys and girls sports.
Embraced online broadcasts of selected
football and basketball games.
Strongly encouraged charging for admis-
sion to as many contests as possible.
Stogner, through the decades, has learned
how to deal with hundreds of coaches, athlet-
ic directors and principals (the PAL Board of
Managers which has ultimate authority). As
he puts it, To create change, you have to
sell it. Group dynamics are very important.
He attends close to 60 administrative
meetings per year, including those of the
Central Coast Section (which became a sep-
arate California Interscholastic Federation
section in 1965); the PAL is an integral and
original part of CCS. The politics, he
notes, are fascinating.
The PAL offices operating budget is
$170,000 (each school/district handles its
own gate receipts, booster funds and other
revenues).
Stogners contract states that he works
10 months out of 12 (hes off much of the
summer), 25 hours per week. He is paid
$40,000.
He estimates that the PALs 8,000 male
and female athletes compete in more than
1,700 league games and matches during the
course of a typical school year.
There are at least 1,000 PAL coaches,
many of them non-faculty members, at all
levels of competition. It can be a challenge
to make sure each PAL school properly vets
and monitors its off-campus coaches. There
are also player transfer and eligibility issues
to consider.
Stogner oversees league activities from
his modest ofce on the second oor of the
headquarters building of the San Mateo
County Office of Education in Redwood
Shores.
He has a secretary; she works the grand
total of one day a week. The PALis not a one-
man show. But its closer to a solo act than
you might imagine.

State of the PAL: The joint is jumpin
By John Horgan
When did the Peninsula Athletic League
come into existence?
Although it may not be denitive, the
earliest mention of a prep sports champi-
onship in San Mateo County has been pro-
vided by Ed Nordness, a keeper of sports
history at Sequoia High School.
He has information indicating that the
Cherokees won a league baseball title in
1908. An actual league is not named, how-
ever.
Meanwhile, more evidence of a high
school sports league on the Peninsula can
be found buried in the basement floor
archives of the Burlingame Public Library.
Microfilm of hoary editions of the
Burlingame Advance Star, a defunct
Peninsula newspaper, indicates that San
Mateo Union High School defeated Palo
Alto, 6-3, in a league rugby match in
October 1914.
The rudimentary grouping was said to
consist of those two schools, along with
San Jose High School and the St.
Matthews Military Academy (now St.
Matthews Episcopal Day School) in San
Mateo, according to the Advance Stars
brief account.
It was a modest beginning. By the early
1920s, the Peninsula Athletic League had
been formed. A1925 report referred to it as
one of the few formal high school athletic
arrangements in all of California at that
time.
A year later, the league strode onto
Californias big prep sports stage when
San Mateo High Schools football team
won the state championship.
By the 1930s, the far-ung PAL includ-
ed public schools from Jefferson High
School in the north to San Jose in the
south.
The post-World War II era saw tremen-
dous population growth along the
Peninsula. New secondary schools were
opened with regularity right into the rst
half of the 1960s.
The PAL grew accordingly. Something
had to give. Local PAL schools were even-
tually divided up into the South Peninsula
Athletic League, the Mid-Peninsula League
and the North Peninsula League to accom-
modate the surge in student numbers and
rampant school construction.
Even Serra High School, at one point in
the 1950s, requested entry into the PAL.
The proposed move by the Catholic school
was turned down by league ofcials on a
close vote.
When a drastic enrollment slump began
to drain the region of students 40 years
ago, retrenchment in earnest began.
Three schools (Cubberley, Ravenswood
and San Carlos highs) in the SPAL, one
(Crestmoor High School) in the MPL and
two (Oceana and Serramonte highs) in the
NPL eventually were closed.
Oceana later re-opened as a specialized
small school; today it has 600 students and
a limited sports program. In 1995, it was
determined to merge all of the remaining
schools, Oceana included, into one mega-
league under one administration.
Today, the PALincludes 17 primary pub-
lic school members (not all schools offer
all sports), along with nine supplementary
private schools which compete in a few
selected sports, including football and
baseball.

NEWYORK Goodbye, Dan Marino and
Shannon Sharpe. Hello, Tony Gonzalez.
Marino and Sharpe will not return to their
analyst roles on CBS The NFL Today
pregame show. Gonzalez, a recently retired
star tight end, will now prep for a turn on
the networks pro football coverage.
CBS sports chairman Sean McManus said
the move to part ways with Marino and
Sharpe was really kind of a mutual deci-
sion and has nothing to do with any dis-
satisfaction in the ratings.
McManus said he has no single metric by
which he measures the success of the
pregame show.
Its very subjective, McManus said.
Normally, if somebodys really doing a
good job, theres a fairly overwhelming
feeling that the person was a good hire, and
Marino, Sharpe out, Gonzalez in on CBS pregame

CHICAGO Northwestern quarterback
Kain Colter testied Tuesday that he was
essentially paid to play via his scholarship
as the National Labor Relations Board
opened a closely watched hearing on a bid
to form what would be the rst union for col-
lege athletes in U.S. history.
From a witnesses stand in a federal court
building, Colter characterized playing col-
lege football as a job and said schools make
clear to incoming players that athletics are
a higher priority than academics.
Colter, a co-founder of the newly formed
College Athletes Players Association, said
players adhere to grueling schedules, put-
ting in 40- to 50-hour weeks on football
during and before the season. During August
training, he said, players often start prac-
tice at 8 a.m. and nish at 10 p.m.
Its a job, there is no way around it its
a job, said Colter, a 21-year-old senior
whose college career is over.
Asked why Northwestern gave him a
scholarship of $75,000 a year, he respond-
ed: To play football. To perform an athlet-
ic service. Later, he said players earn the
money, in part, by sacricing our bodies.
Whether the players qualify under federal
law as employees is the core question for
the NLRB. If they are deemed employees,
they would have rights to unionize.
Whatever ruling the panel makes can be
appealed.
The Colter-led bid, which is supported by
the United Steelworkers, is seen as a test
case that could transform the landscape of
college athletics. The NCAA and Big Ten
Conference, which includes Northwestern,
both maintain that college students are not
employees whatever their participation
might be in athletics.
During his opening statement, an attor-
ney representing the university, Alex
Barbour, insisted academics are at the center
of a football players college experience.
Academics always trumps athletics at
Northwestern, he said. Northwestern is
not a football factory.
But during his testimony, Colter said he
abandoned his hopes of entering a pre-med
program because of time demands
Northwestern makes on football players.
He said chemistry was invariably offered at
times that conicted with football practice.
You fulll the football requirement and,
if you can, you t in academics, he said.
You have to sacrice one. But we cant sac-
rice football. ... We are brought to the uni-
versity to play football.
Devoting more time to academics at the
expense of his football, he added, could
result in the loss of a scholarship. Asked if
coaches ever told players to leave practice
and go study, Colter said no.
Another Northwestern attorney, Anna
Wermuth, asked Colter whether playing
football was, in itself, part of the education
process. Does it help players learn to crit-
ically analyze information? she asked.
We learn to critically analyze a defense,
said Colter, who ended up studying psychol-
ogy. Football also taught values, including
perseverance, he added.
But that does not mean it helps you earn
a psychology degree, he said. It makes it
harder.
Northwestern spokesman Bob Rowley
declined to comment on Colters suggestion
the school made football a higher priority
than academics in some cases. He said the
universitys own witnesses later this week
could address that and other questions.
The university and its attorneys have
repeatedly pointed out that Northwestern
has one of the highest graduation rates for
football teams in the country with around
97 percent of players receiving degrees.
Colter said most of the teams 85 scholar-
ship players support forming a union,
though he has been the only one to step for-
ward publicly with the support of the United
Steelworkers, the players association and
its leader, former UCLA linebacker Ramogi
Huma. Huma was also expected to testify,
possibly on Wednesday.
Supporters say a union would provide ath-
letes a vehicle to lobby for nancial securi-
ty and improved safety, noting that players
are left out of the billions generated through
college athletics. They contend scholar-
ships sometimes dont even cover livings
expenses for a full year.
Adecision by the NLRB could come soon
after the testimony concludes.
For now, the push is to unionize athletes
at private schools, like Northwestern.
Public universities, which are subject to dif-
ferent regulations, could follow later.
QB backs bid to form college athletes union
By Janie McCauley
BERKELEY Californias Justin Cobbs
points out how just a few weeks back, Arizona
appeared invincible and everybody else in the
Pac-12 Conference seemed to be playing for
second place.
Two losses later for the Wildcats one at the
hands of Cobbs game-winning shot to stun
then-No. 1 and unbeaten Arizona on Feb. 1
and things have changed in a hurry. Cal is right
in the middle of the chase for a conference title
with six games to go.
At rst, a lot of people were talking that they
were just going to sweep the conference and no
one can beat them, Cobbs said after practice
Monday. Everybodys beatable in this confer-
ence. With Arizona State knocking off Arizona,
it tightened things up a little bit. ... Its time to
play, were ghting for a Pac-12 championship
now, theres only six games left. If you dont
have a little re under you, somethings wrong.
So, well come out aggressive.
The rst chance comes when Cal hosts sec-
ond-place UCLAon Wednesday night and then
USC on Sunday to begin an important stretch to
close out the Pac-12 schedule. The Golden Bears
have won three of four following a three-game
losing streak after a road sweep of the
Washington schools this past weekend. They
are riding a three-game home winning streak
against the Bruins.
Getting the road sweep puts us back in con-
versation, there should be some excitement
with that, coach Mike Montgomery said.
Cal (17-8, 8-4 Pac-12), which began the week
tied with Arizona State for third place in the Pac-
12 with four of six remaining games at home in
Haas Pavilion, recognizes all of the things it
didnt do right in a 76-64 loss to UCLAin Los
Angeles on Jan. 26. Cal can make a move by
beating UCLA(20-5, 9-3).
Were certainly going to have to play better
than we did last time, theres no question about
that, Montgomery said. We were very, very
poor in a lot of different areas last game. Were
going to have to pay much more attention to
detail, were going to have to match their phys-
ical play, were going to have to recover on
defense. We just really had a bad weekend that
weekend.
Cal men prepare for key Pac-12 stretch run
SPORTS 14
the goalkeeper scrambled back, Byrds shot
sailed just over the crossbar and the Scots
dodged a bullet.
Alysse LaMond had a couple of good scor-
ing chances for the Panthers as well in the
rst half. Two minutes after Byrds attempt,
LaMond used a cutback move at the top of
the Carlmont penalty box to lose her
defender, but her shot went high and wide. In
the 24th minute, LaMond stole the ball
from a Carlmont defender just outside the
Scots penalty box and juked a defender, but
her shot to the near post was saved.
Carlmont, while it did have ve shots
four of which were on goal none of them
were especially dangerous as all four were
easily saved by the Panthers goalkeeper.
[We] looked good in the rst 15 minutes
of the game, DeRosa said. When you miss
opportunities, they come back to bite you
in the end.
In the second half, Carlmont played like a
team on a mission. The Scots controlled
most of the possession and applied heavy
pressure on the Panthers at every turn. The
Scots used pinpoint passing to spring runs
down the anks and with Said patrolling the
middle, it seemed it was only a matter of
time before the Scots found the magic.
They really outplayed us in the second
half, DeRosa said.
In the 59th minute, the Scots found it.
Carlmont earned a throw-in deep in the
Burlingame end. Brooke Buckley took the
throw and found Said at the top of the
Panthers penalty, who was inexplicably
unmarked. Said took a touch to settle the
ball, turned and red a shot to the far left
corner of the net a shot the goalkeeper
had no chance of saving to give the Scots
what turned out to be the game winner.
Normally, I would say that was a normal
game for us, Smith said. We communicat-
ed well. We distributed (the ball) well.
The Panthers nally found their rhythm
over the nal 20 minutes of the game, but
the Carlmont defense stood rm and kept
Burlingame off the scoreboard.
More than the win, Smith was satised to
see her team respond to the challenges a
team like Burlingame presented.
I think Burlingame is an amazing team
and what Burlingame poses to us is our
biggest weakness, Smith said. When
teams come out hard on us, we tend to shut
down.
Not on Tuesday, however.
SOCCER
adjusted his grip, which led to further prob-
lems with his ring nger.
I had more problems with my ring nger
because I wasnt using the pinkie, Scutaro
said. It got more messed up but its good
now.
He had a pin inserted into his nger in
September to help keep it straight after sur-
gery that repaired tendon damage.
Scutaro addressed his back issues during
the offseason, working to make his core
stronger. He will continue his routine
through camp.
The rst couple of weeks well be focus-
ing on getting my back stronger, Scutaro
said. It was really hard to gure out. Id go
to sleep feeling good and wake up and my
back was tight. It was annoying.
Scutaro still hit .297 last year and was
named to his rst all-star team. He didnt
like the way he played defense, though, and
hopes to make corrections.
I attribute some of his problems to his
physical well-being, Bochy said. His
neck and back bothered him. Its hard
enough to play when youre 100 percent.
Scutaro, the Giants 2012 postseason
hero, said his injured ngers did not bother
him while playing defense. While acknowl-
edging his displeasure regarding defense, he
feels the whole team has something to
prove this season.
Expectations were high and we didnt
play the way we wanted to play, Scutaro
said. Players kept getting hurt and we did-
nt play well. Hopefully, we can all stay
healthy and go from there.
NOTES: OF Mike Morse took grounders
at rst base. . 1B Brandon Belt remained in
Florida for an arbitration hearing. . RHP
Santiago Casilla remains in the Dominican
Republic but has been throwing bullpen
sessions and sending the video to the
Giants. He looked good on video, Bochy
said. ... OF Angel Pagan was in the club-
house and reported that he was healthy and
ready to go. He was reduced to 71 games last
year with a hamstring injury suffered while
scoring on an inside-the-park home run in
late May. Pagan was able to play again in
September. It was important for him to
come back and play, Bochy said. It gives
him the condence that he is ne.
SCUTARO
only three in the second half.
The Padres were picked up by the play of
their supporting cast, however, as a total of
five players scored six points or more.
Jimmy Wohrer chipped in with nine points,
Jake Killingsworth added eight and Cory
Cravalho nished with six.
While the Padres struggled all night with
their shooting, their defense was in lock-
down mode. They forced six Bellarmine
turnovers and also came up with 12 steals.
They also held their own on the boards
against the taller Bells, nishing with 30
rebounds compared to 38 for Bellarmine.
the defense was definitely the differ-
ence, Rapp said. Our pressure defense
bothered them at times.
Serra never trailed, but Bellarmine kept it
close in the rst quarter. With the Padres
leading 6-2, Bellarmines Amador Nazarov
nailed a 3-pointer to trim the Bells decit to
6-5 with 3:58 left in the opening period.
Serra responded with a a 3 from
Killingsworth which jump-started a 7-0 run
to push Serras lead to 13-5 and the Padres
led 13-7 after one period.
The Padres opened the second quarter with
a 7-0 spurt, with Mahoney converting a
layup off a steal and draining a 3. AWatkins
dribble-drive layup pushed the Serra lead to
20-7 with 5:25 to play in the rst half.
Watkins then ended the rst-half scoring
for the Padres by drilling a NBA-distance 3
to put his team up 27-15 at halftime.
Serra continued its tenacious defense in
the third quarter, limiting the Bells to just
eight points and when Killingsworth
knocked down a 3 just before the quarter
buzzer, Serra was up 14, 37-23, going into
the nal eight minutes.
The Padres withstood the Bells fourth-
quarter run, however, and advanced to
Fridays seminal game.
We had to scrap through it, Rapp said.
SERRA
NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
Serras SeanWatkins knocked down a crucial 3-pointer in the fourth quarter as the Padres
held off Bellarmine 47-33 in the rst round of the WCAL tournament.
who have watched expected results in other
action sports at these games get shufed
partly because of conditions and maybe
because of pressure. Shaun White never got
comfortable with the tough halfpipe a week
ago and nished fourth. Kelly Clark struggled
and ended up with bronze, not gold.
Ive been watching a lot of favorites lose
this Olympics ... seeing how much pressure it
can be and how you have to perform, regardless
of the conditions or how youre feeling that
day, Wise said. Its kind of sobering, to say
the least.
He had a couple new tricks he wanted to bust
out for the Olympics, but because of the condi-
tions, those will have to wait.
Instead, he went with his most dependable
jumps: 2 1/2 spins; two ips with 3 1/2 spins;
back-to-back 720-degree spins; then another
two-ip, 1260-degree move. Some went 14-15
feet above the halfpipe. Most had fancy grabs
of the skis that the judges love. All had rock-
solid landings that win gold medals.
Dave is, right now, on top of the sport,
said his 17-year-old American teammate, Aaron
Blunck. Hes the best. Hes proven it multiple
times. He comes out in any condition and has
amazing fun. Hes the dad out of the group. So,
no matter what he does, were proud of him
Wise is the winner of three straight Winter X
Games titles, which, until now, were the
biggest prizes in his trophy case.
All these major victories have come since he
got married and became a dad.
Hes a family man the regular dude in a
counter-culture sport and hes sure he would-
nt be this good if it were different.
I can go and ski my heart out, but that does-
nt necessarily dene who I am, he said.
Being a good husband and father is more
important. I can have passion with both things
and it provides balance.
Riddles silver continued a sparkling stretch
of freestyle skiing for Canada. Including the 1-
2 moguls nish by the Dufour-Lapointe sisters,
a 1-2 nish in mens moguls and some other
strong results, the Canadians have won seven
medals in the action sports, three of them gold.
This one means a little more, given that it
came in the sport the late Sarah Burke of
Canada pushed hardest to include in the
Olympics. Burke was the freeskiing star who
died two years ago after a training accident in
the halfpipe.
OLYMPICS
the show is better than it was without him.
He is expecting to get that with Gonzalez.
Hes the closest thing to a sure bet that
Ive seen in a long time, McManus said.
You cant teach ... likability. Tony is a
very likable individual.
Gonzalez is going to go from the eld to
the studio in a hurry. The former All-Pro
tight end who appears destined for a spot in
the Hall of Fame in Canton said he was
looking for a TV job with all of the major
companies that broadcast NFL games.
He said he felt the most comfortable with
CBS. The Tiffany network recently landed a
deal to air NFL games on network TV on
Thursday nights next season in addition to
its longtime stable of AFC games.
What really stood out about CBS was it
was a comfortable t from the beginning,
Gonzalez said. The opportunity to work
with someone like James Brown the
guys a legend.
Marino, the longtime Miami Dolphins
quarterback, joined CBA in 2002. Sharpe
was added for the 2004 season.
Gonzalez will join Brown, Bill Cowher
and Boomer Esiason on The NFLToday on
Sundays. He hasnt ofcially retired from
the NFL, though this would seem to make
returning to the eld a remote prospect.
The work ethic that made him a star per-
former should serve him well in the TV
world, too. He said he is already rehearsing
to himself in the mirror and it doesnt
quite feel normal.
I think the best thing that I can do is
reps, Gonzalez said. You dont go out
there and start balling in Week 1.

By Candice Choi
NEW YORK When people take an
interest in cooking, broth sales apparent-
ly get a bump.
Campbell Soup has been struggling to
boost sluggish sales of its famous con-
densed and ready-to-eat canned soups. But
there is a bright spot in its U.S. soup divi-
sion: broth.
The company on Friday reported a high-
er quarterly profit as U.S. soup sales rose
5 percent. The bump was largely a quirk of
the calendar, however; Thanksgiving fell
later in the year, meaning the higher ship-
ments associated with the holidays were
pushed back to its fiscal second quarter.
In fact, Campbell said consumer pur-
chases for its soup division were actually
down 1 percent in the period. People
bought more of its Swanson broth, but
that was offset by declines in purchases of
its condensed and ready-to-eat soups.
In a call with analysts, Campbell CEO
Denise Morrison noted that the growth in
broths is being driven by an increase in
homemade soup behavior and people
cooking more with broth in general.
Mark Alexander, president of Campbell
North America, added in a phone interview
that people often buy broth to make
homemade soup, but start using it for
other purposes over time. That could
include boiling vegetables or making stir
fries.
Broth is for people for whom cooking
is a big deal, Alexander said, noting that
Campbell targets a customer it refers to as
a passionate kitchen master.
The growing interest in cooking is why
Campbell recently introduced a line of fla-
vored broths, which let people make
homemade dishes while greatly reducing
the amount of work they have to do in the
kitchen.
The strategy of catering to peoples
desire for both convenience and home-
made meals can been seen in other parts of
Campbells portfolio. The companys new
Skillet sauces, for instance, are posi-
tioned as a way to make a quick homemade
dinner. All people have to do is add some
vegetables and meat to the sauces, which
come in flavors such as Green Thai Curry
and Creamy Chipotle.
The packages are intended to appeal par-
ticularly to people in their 20s and 30s, a
group referred to as Millennials by mar-
keters. As Campbells head of innovation
Darren Serrao explained in 2012, Their
definition of cooking is different.
Assembly is cooking.
Last fall, Campbell even introduced a
Why I Cook marketing campaign for
Swanson to encourage people to use broth
in a variety of ways.
What the growth in broth and cooking
means for canned soups isnt clear.
The latest quarters 5 percent sales
increase for the soup division includes a 4
percent increase for condensed soups, flat
sales for ready-to-serve soups and a 21
percent increase for broth.
But those results are a bit skewed by the
timing of Thanksgiving. Results for the
first half of the companys fiscal year
paint a better picture of the trend:
Sales of condensed soups are down 1
percent.
Sales of ready-to-serve soups such as
Chunky are down 5 percent.
Campbell: Broth sales get
bump from more cooking
W
hether youll be hosting a crowd
or watching solo, Oscar night
calls for dinner with a bit of
panache.
So lets reverse engineer this. To help
you get in the mood, youll want to drink
something with bubbles. Sparkling wine is
the obvious choice, though dont forget the
sparkling cider for those abstaining. But
you dont have to sip them straight up.
Sparkling wine and cider are delicious when
doctored.
For either, consider pureeing watermel-
on, then pouring the puree into ice cube
trays and freezing. Drop one cube into each
glass, then top with the sparkling bever-
age. Or for something more wintery, grab a
jar of amarena cherries, an Italian treat of
sour cherries packed in syrup. Drop one
into each glass, then ll and sip.
With the drinks sorted, we need some-
thing that works with bubbles. Fried food
is perfect, but who wants to deep-fry at
home? The other happy companion to bub-
bles is Asian food. So I
created a simple teriya-
ki chicken that is
served in lettuce wraps.
The recipe comes
together quickly, but
has wonderful savory,
yet light, avors that
work perfectly with
your cocktails.

By Luis Andres Henao
MAULE VALLEY, Chile Sven Bruchfeld
doesnt mind if you dont like his wine, as
long as some people love it.
Hes part of a bold new wave of independ-
ent vintners who are challenging Chiles
reputation for producing oceans of agree-
able but predictable wines. Their quirky,
small-batch harvests are capturing the
attention of wine connoisseurs at home and
abroad.
We need wines that are polemical, that
are not liked by everyone, that generate
controversy and spark conversations, said
Bruchfeld, a Chilean of German ancestry
who is owner and chief winemaker at the
Polkura winery.
The independents have broken away from
Chiles industrial wine culture to lovingly
squeeze out small lots of wines, usually
using organic, even spiritually tinged theo-
ries of winemaking.
In Alvaro Espinozas vineyard in the
Maipo Valley south of Santiago, a horse
plows along rows of grapevines in the shad-
ow of the Andes mountains while a solar
panel powers the irrigation. In the Maule
Valley farther south, Pilar Miranda also
farms with horses and when her wine is
ready for bottling, she punches the corks in
by hand.
This new generation is much more con-
scious about environmental problems and
more committed to healthy, sustainable
agriculture ... and also for the production of
wines that have a stronger connection to
the Earth, said Espinoza, whose Antiyal
wines regularly break into the 90s in
respected ratings.
Thats why I think this new generation
of winemakers and entrepreneurs is going
to change Chiles image globally.
Chile has been making wine since the
mid-1500s, when Spanish settlers brought
the rst vines to the coast-hugging nation.

grown up with a sister and mother who
were both chefs.
I went to Oracle exhausted and my
wife was getting her masters and said
no, youre being depressed, go to
work, come home and well talk about
it, he said. Two hours into my shift,
I knew I had physically, mentally and
emotionally quit Oracle. I stayed on
board with them, but by that evening,
I had written 15 pages of a business
plan and research.
Tabz showed the plan to his wife,
Veiss, and she cried saying, this is so
Sedi.
I went back to work thinking oh
my gosh my wife is supporting me in
this, he said. The creative juices
started owing.
Weight loss through yogurt
With the loss of his mother, he
gained 36 pounds through binge eat-
ing.
A friend told me, you look like
crap, you need to get a hold of your-
self, Tabz said.
So, he dedicated himself to eating
healthier, exercising three times a
week and eating Greek yogurt before
each of his meals. He ended up compet-
ing the internal biggest loser weight
loss competition at Oracle. On April 4,
2013, he separated from Oracle with
seven days left for his nal weigh-in,
but ended up winning the competition
of 288 participants by 1.6 percent
body fat. The outcome of becoming so
healthy through eating Greek yogurt
helped reinforce his belief in his store
idea.
Seventy percent of the reason I won
was because of diet, said Tabz, who
lives in the South Bay. Greek yogurt
eats away fat cells and has protein,
making muscle. It was awesome to see
myself get back into shape physically
and mentally.
The right place
He then began his quest to open a
Greek yogurt shop. Unable to nd a
good location, he came to visit
Burlingame because his aunt owns
Encore, also on Burlingame Avenue.
I said this is the right place, he
said. It has a very European feeling, a
friendly neighborhood, everybody
knows everybody and sure enough
there was a shop open. The name of the
store Manijeh, which is important
because that was the name of my
moms best friend through high
school until the end of her life.
He signed the lease for the 996-
square-foot space on his moms birth-
day, Aug. 9.
So much all these miracles were
happening right before my eyes, he
said. I cried in front of the landlord
and said its my moms birthday; Im
signing the lease to my dream. Thats
so serendipitous, he said.
Inspiration
He said throughout the whole jour-
ney, his mom has been with him from
the other world talking to him. He
recounts working 17 hour days and
being really exhausted. One night
driving home. He asked his mother
why she was making him do all this.
He looked up and saw a billboard which
read, Courage is in every CEOs
DNA.
I said mom you never stop, he
said. If you open eyes, youll be able
to see a lot of these things you werent
able to see.
He said this has all been a great jour-
ney.
Where I get my energy every day,
the positive attitude, comes from when
I went to visit my mom, he said.
Tabz said its also important to him
to do something in this lifetime to
help nd a cure for Alzheimers dis-
ease.
Her (his mother) and I were really,
really close, he said. One time I went
to give her a hug and she punched me
in my mouth because she didnt recog-
nize who I was. It was the most difcult
thing I experienced in my life. She
wouldnt let a feather land on me. What
the hell is this disease that robs you of
your life and family?
He said dealing with the disease was
the biggest test in his life.
You leave the world without saying
goodbye to relatives, he said. Its so
painful to get punched in mouth by
your mom; Mike Tysons left hook
doesnt have anything on that. I dont
want anyone to go through that.
The 1115 Burlingame Ave. shop spe-
cializes in both savory and sweet
yogurt dishes, including Sedis Touch,
which has yogurt, walnuts, dill, rose-
bud raisin, cucumber, mint, salt and
pepper. Sweet concoctions include the
George Washington with yogurt,
Morello cherry and mint syrup.
For more information visit jougert-
bar.com. The store is open 7:30 a.m.-
9 p.m. on weekdays, 9 a.m.-9 p.m.
Saturdays and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sundays.

cost of benets for retirees who are liv-
ing longer.
The board of the California Public
Employees Retirement System
approved new assumptions for the pen-
sion system Tuesday that effectively
increase contribution rates.
Projections show workers are expect-
ed to live an average of as much as two
years longer, driving up the cost of pay-
ing benets to people until they die.
Women retiring at age 55 in 2028 are
expected to live to 87.
Contributing more to CalPERS
$282.5 billion pension fund means
local governments will have less
money to pay for services such as
police, roads and parks. But delaying
payments to the pension system would
cost more in the long run.
The rates cities, counties and school
districts pay for their employees wont
change until 2016 and the increase will
be phased in over ve years, with the
added contributions over a 20-year peri-
od covering the extra cost of workers
longer lives. But the board voted 7-4 to
approve a request from Gov. Jerry Brown
to accelerate the states payments start-
ing this summer, with the increase
phased in over three years. Brown said
waiting would have cost the state $3.7
billion on top of its $45 billion in long-
term unfunded pension liabilities.
Starting July 1, the state estimates its
annual pension payment will rise by
$440 million, including $260 million
from the general fund. Once the increase
is completely phased in, the states
annual payment is expected to be $5 bil-
lion, an increase of $1.2 billion.
The board today took important and
responsible action to strengthen
Californias pension system, Brown
said in a written statement.
But some CalPERS board members
and union representatives said the
move to treat the state differently was
unnecessary, given that it could vol-
untarily pay more for pensions, as it
has in recent years.
I dont see a reason to mandate an
acceleration, and quite frankly, if the
state really has extra money, the fund
across the river is actually in far worse
shape, said J.J. Jelencic, one of four
board members who voted against the
governors request, referring to the
states $80 billion unfunded liability for
teachers pensions.
Most county and city governments
surveyed by associations agreed with
CalPERS approach to phase in the
increase over ve years and spread the
total cost over 20. But the new rate
increases are on top of additional rate
increases coming next year.
Together, they are going to cause
serious service reductions, said Chris
McKenzie, executive director of the
League of California Cities.
Sacramento Finance Director Leyne
Milstein told the CalPERS board her
city expected to have to pay $12 mil-
lion more for pensions at the peak of
new rates, the equivalent of cutting 34
police ofcers, 30 reghters and 38
other employees.

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2014
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Spending your hard-
earned cash on frivolous purchases or helping others
will lead to nancial trouble. Adhere to a strict budget
before its too difcult to dig your way out of debt.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Neglecting your
love life will be emotionally costly. Plan to share
quality time with someone special, or engage in
events geared toward finding love. You deserve to
be happy for a spell.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Maintain patience
and understanding when dealing with others. A
troublesome situation will escalate quickly if you
arent sensitive to the problems and challenges faced
by others. Do whats right.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Youll be offered
unwanted advice. Disregard any such counsel and
remain on the path that you feel most comfortable with.
Discipline and commitment will bring you success.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Give your spirits a
lift by spending time with children or close friends.
Treating yourself to a guilty pleasure will add to your
enjoyment. Your good humor will be appreciated.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) It may seem as
though others are taking advantage of you. Make
your feelings known in a rm but tactful way. Your
frustration will only increase if you dont speak up.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Regardless of from
whence it comes, do not repeat gossip. You will be
looked upon as untrustworthy, and it could cause
irreparable damage to your reputation. Concentrate
on work, not meddling.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Focus on romance.
Revitalize your relationship with someone special.
Unexpected expenses may cramp your style, but you
can still show your affection without trying to buy love.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You are in need of some
peace and solitude. Avoid conicts that may cause
emotional and physical distress. A quiet evening
alone will calm your nerves.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Refrain from
discussing your nancial status. Only a trusted
professional adviser has the qualications necessary
to provide the information you require. Relying on a
well-meaning friend will result in future problems.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Offering
unsolicited advice to peers will lead to trouble. Dont
be afraid to admit that you dont have all the answers.
Instead, devote your energy to doing what you do best.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) There are many
resources available that provide practical ways to
refocus your attitude. Consider a discussion group
or seminar that would inspire you to approach life in
a positive manner.

And it has grown into the worlds No. 7
wine producer, with an output of nearly
1.3 billion liters last year. About 480
million liters of bottled wine were
exported.
While major producers such as
Concha y Toro also release batches of
world-class wines, critics have long
complained that Chilean wine overall
was too industrial and xated on vol-
ume.
It had quality but lacked character,
and there was no space for the small
winemaker, said Patricio Tapia, Chiles
most respected wine writer.
But in the past decade a new genera-
tion has been born, and Espinoza was
the precursor, said Tapia, author of the
Descorchados wine guide.
The 52-year-old Espinoza who appren-
ticed at wineries abroad as well as in
Chile was among the rst to embrace the
biodynamic wine movement that was
taking root in Europe and the United
States.
Based on the writings of Austrian
philosopher Rudolf Steiner, it forbids
articial pesticides, herbicides and fertil-
izers and it sees farms as living organ-
isms affected by the cycles of the moon
and planetary alignment, as well as sea-
sons.
Like Espinoza, most of the new vint-
ners emerged from the countrys old wine
industry, either working at corporate
winemakers or studying enology at local
universities.
But some have also come from abroad:
an Italian count, a former Canadian ski
coach and a Swiss lawyer are among the
18-member Chile-based Movement of
Independent Vintners.
The artisanal producers have pounced
on long-abandoned vines or set up shop
in forgotten wine zones, while others
have experimented with new combina-
tions of grapes, regions, temperatures
and terrains.
In the quest for a more interesting wine,
theyve experimented in extreme places:
from the icy south to northern areas in the
heart of the Atacama desert. The result has
been a rich mosaic of styles.
They often use rustic but proven meth-
ods such as manual corking and egg-
shaped concrete vats and earthenware
pots for fermentation.
For us its about getting back to our
roots to make some great juice, said
Miranda, 40, who started making wines
in the garage with her ski-coach
Canadian husband and created the whim-
sically named Garage Wine Co.
WINE
3 medium carrots, cut into chunks
1 small yellow onion, quartered
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cool water
1 head Boston lettuce, separated into leaves (or similar
broad, tender lettuce)
In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together
the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic powder, hot sauce and
sh sauce. Set aside.
In a food processor, combine the carrots and onion. Pulse
until nely chopped. Add the chicken, then pulse several
times to begin chopping the chicken. Add the sauce, then
continue pulsing just until the chicken is well chopped, but
not ground. The pieces should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the
chicken and cook, stirring often and breaking up any
clumps, until cooked through, about 8 minutes. In a small
glass, stir together the cornstarch and water, then add to the
skillet. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to one side of a serving platter.
Arrange the lettuce leaves on the other side. Diners help
themselves by spooning the chicken into individual
leaves, using the leaves as they would a sandwich wrap.

KIEV, Ukraine Amid cries of
Glory to Ukraine! and with am-
ing tires lighting up the night sky,
thousands of riot police armed with
stun grenades and water cannons
attacked the sprawling protest
camp in the center of Kiev on
Tuesday, following a day of street
battles that left 18 people dead and
hundreds injured.
The violence was the deadliest in
nearly three months of anti-gov-
ernment protests that have para-
lyzed Ukraines capital in a strug-
gle over the nations identity, and
the worst in the countrys post-
Soviet history
With the boom of exploding stun
grenades and fireworks nearly
drowning out his words at times,
opposition leader Vitali Klitschko
urged the 20,000 protesters to
defend the camp on Independence
Square that has been the heart of
the protests.
We will not go anywhere from
here, Klitschko told the crowd,
speaking from a stage in the square
as tents and tires burned around
him, releasing huge plumes of
smoke. This is an island of free-
dom and we will defend it, he said.
Many heeded his call.
Thi s l ooks l i ke a war
agai nst ones own peopl e,
said Dmytro Shulko, 35, who
was heading toward the camp
armed with a fire bomb. But
we will defend ourselves.
As police dismantled some of the
barricades on the perimeter of the
square and tried to push away the
protesters, they fought back with
rocks, bats and fire bombs.
Against the backdrop of a soaring
monument to Ukraines independ-
ence, protesters fed the burning
ames with tires, creating walls of
re to prevent police from advanc-
ing. Alarge building the protesters
had used as a headquarters caught
re and many struggled to get out.
Many of the protesters were bleed-
ing.
Speaking over loudspeakers,
police urged women and children to
leave the square because an anti-
terrorist operation was underway.
The protesters appeared to sense
that Ukraines political standoff
was reaching a critical turning
point. Waving Ukrainian and
opposition party ags, they shout-
ed Glory to Ukraine! and sang the
Ukrainian national anthem.

Iran at talks: No
scrapping any nuclear facility
VIENNA Iran drew a red line
on Tuesday on how far it would go
at landmark nuclear talks, saying
as the meeting opened that it
would not buckle to pressure from
the U.S. and ve other world pow-
ers to scrap any of its nuclear facil-
ities.
The statement by Deputy
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi
suggested tough talks ahead, con-
stituting a rejection of a central
demand by the six countries.
At the same time, neither side
can afford to have the talks fail.
Lack of agreement would leave
Iran struggling under the weight of
harsh economic sanctions and a
threat of military strikes by Israel,
which sees Irans nuclear program
as an unacceptable security threat
primarily designed to develop
weapons.
The United States has promised
to protect Israel, but said more
time is needed for diplomacy and
sanctions to try to reduce the
threat Israel faces from Iran.
The talks are designed to build
on a rst-step deal that came into
effect last month and commits Iran
to initial curbs on its nuclear pro-
gram in return for some easing of
sanctions. The deal can be extend-
ed, if both sides agree to do so after
six months.
Iran insists it is not interested in
producing nuclear weapons, but
the six powers want Tehran to back
its words with concessions.

CARACAS, Venezuela
Opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez
emerged from days of hiding and
surrendered to police before thou-
sands of supporters Tuesday, saying
he hopes his arrest awakens
Venezuela to the corruption and
economic disaster caused by 15
years of socialist rule.
Speaking with a megaphone to
more than 10,000 people, Lopez
said that he didnt fear going to jail
to defend his beliefs and constitu-
tional right to peacefully protest
against President Nicolas Maduros
government.
If my jailing serves to awaken a
people, serves to awaken Venezuela
... then it will be well worth the
infamous imprisonment imposed
upon me directly, with cowardice,
by Nicolas Maduro, Lopez told the
sea of supporters who were dressed
in white to symbolize non-vio-
lence. Venezuelas red, yellow and
blue ag hung from his shoulders.
The U.S.-educated Lopez was
taken to a military base outside the
capital. His Popular Will party says
he was expected to appear before a
civilian judge Wednesday on
charges that include homicide and
inciting violence during protests
last week in which three people
were killed as government forces
clashed with protesters.
