A long-term vision with a clear plan vetted by the commu-
nity is how San Bruno school ofcials should approach the
$1.4 million structural decit, Crestmoor Elementary School
parents told the board during a special meeting Tuesday.
Last week, board President Henry Sanchez broached the
topic of school closure at a meeting of the San Bruno Park
Elementary School District Board of Trustees. His question
was simple: Is closing a school one of the tools wed like to
discuss in hopes of creating a balanced budget? While the
board agreed to continue the exploration, the idea wasnt
strongly supported. It was also suggested that a special meet-
ing be held at Crestmoor the school with the lowest enroll-
ment which is normally on the short list when school closure

It was an extra dusty day in San
Mateos Central Park yesterday after-
noon as the City Council got a hands-on
demonstration on how effective various
leaf blowers and vacuums are compared
to the old reliable rake and broom.
The council is considering banning
leaf blowers outright but will take in
plenty of public comment before it
makes its decision.
Gardeners contend the devices are far
more efcient in cleaning up yard waste
while foes of the device say they are too
noisy and hazardous to the health of
users and those caught up in the particu-
late the devices blow into the air.

WASHINGTON Seeking to regain
their budget footing versus President
Barack Obama, Republicans controlling
the House are moving quickly to try to
defuse a potential debt crisis with legis-
lation to prevent a rst-ever U.S. default
for at least three months.
The Republicans are giving up for
now on trying to extract spending cuts
from Democrats in return for an increase
in the governments borrowing cap. But
the respite promises to be only tempo-
rary, with the stage still set for major bat-
tles between the GOP and Obama over
taxes, spending and decits.
The rst step comes Wednesday with a
House vote on GOP-sponsored legisla-
tion that would give the government
enough borrowing leeway to meet three
months worth of obligations, delaying a
showdown next month that Republicans
fear they would lose.
Republicans leaving a two-hour meet-
ing Tuesday afternoon appeared con-
dent that the measure would pass.
While its commonly assumed that the
Treasury Department wouldnt allow a
disastrous default on U.S. Treasury
notes, the prospect of failing to meet
other U.S. obligations such as payments
to contractors, unemployment benets
and Social Security checks would also
be reputation shattering. House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other GOP
leaders have made it plain they dont
have the stomach for it.
The legislation is disliked by many
Democrats, but the White House
weighed in Tuesday with a statement
that the administration would not oppose
the measure, even though Obama just
last week dismissed incremental increas-
es in the debt ceiling as harmful to the

Answer: There were two movies with that
plot: Airport 1975 (1974) and
Airplane! (1980). Airport 1975 was

trols until the Air Force can get a pilot on

that movie, starring Leslie Nielsen. When
the pilots get food poisoning, a stewardess
and a passenger must land the plane.

A former bookkeeper accused of stealing
$3,200 from a dental ofce while on manda-
tory supervision for embezzlement from two
other dental businesses pleaded no contest in
the new case on Tuesday.
Jasmine Delafuente, 32, faces up to three
years and eight months when sentenced for
the single count of felony embezzlement but,
under the realignment rules, will not be sent to
prison even with her prior record of similar
crimes.
Prosecutors say Delafuente worked as an
ofce manager for 6 to 9 Dental in East Palo
Alto and, between June 29, 2012 to July 19,
2012, stole approximately $3,200 by deposit-
ing only part of the cash
payments and pocketing
the rest.
She got caught early or
she would have kept doing
this, Wagstaffe said.
Delafuente was accused
of stealing much more
from her earlier victims.
She was sentenced in
January 2012 to two years
in county jail and two
years supervision the same supervisory
term she was serving when arrested in the
newest case for stealing $70,000 from a
Redwood City dentist. Between March 2009
and August 2010, prosecutors said Delafuente
took the cash paid by patients and deleted
proof of payment from office records.
Delafuente urged patients to pay in cash,
according to prosecutors who said she partic-
ularly took advantage of Spanish-speaking
patients.
Just prior to working for that office,
Delafuente had been red in February 2009
for stealing $6,793 through the same means.
Delafuente was prosecuted and convicted of
felony embezzlement in August 2010, settling
a case that had been pending in court through
most of the time she was working for her sec-
ond alleged victim.
She was sentenced to 60 days jail and
felony probation for the rst case.
Delafuente remains in custody on $25,000
bail and a no-bail hold for violating probation
and mandatory supervision.

Cocaine carrier pleads guilty
A passenger who was arrested at San
Francisco International Airport in October
while carrying 100 pellets of cocaine inside his
body has pleaded guilty to a federal drug
charge.
Emmanuel Amankwa, 55, pleaded guilty
before U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White in San
Francisco on Thursday to one count of possess-
ing more than 500 grams of cocaine with the
intent to distribute it.
He will be sentenced by White on April 11. In
a plea agreement, prosecution and defense
lawyers agreed to recommend a sentence of
between ve years and six years and eight
months in prison, but the actual sentence will be
up to White.
Amankwa had arrived at the airport on a ight
from Long Beach and was attempting to board
a ight to Japan when he was arrested by feder-
al customs agents on Oct. 23.
U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag said an investi-
gation revealed he was carrying 100 latex-
wrapped pellets containing a total of 995 grams,
or two pounds and three ounces, of cocaine in
his body.
According to an afdavit led by U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent
Alex Chan on Oct. 24, authorities became sus-
picious when a records check showed
Amankwa was arrested at John F. Kennedy
International Airport in New York in 1992 and
later convicted of attempting to smuggle about
three pounds of heroin in a false-sided suitcase.
Agents observing Amankwa in October also
noticed he was walking awkwardly and clench-
ing his stomach, Chan wrote.

Lawmakers split on
Mickelsons tax comment
SACRAMENTO Republican state law-
makers reacted Tuesday with an I told you
so after golf champion Phil Mickelson said
he might leave California because voters
approved higher income taxes on the wealthy.
The four-time major champion said higher
state and federal taxes will take 60 percent of
his income.
California lawmakers split upon reliably
partisan lines in offering reaction, with
Republicans saying they expect more high-
earners to follow and Democrats saying multi-
millionaires can afford to
pay more.
Voters in November
overwhelmingly approved
Proposition 30, an initia-
tive championed by Gov.
Jerry Brown that boosts
taxes on income over
$250,000 a year for seven
years and raises the

Blockbuster to shed stores, jobs
Blockbuster, the former video rental giant, will get much
leaner in the coming months as it plans to shutter 300 stores in
the United States and shed 3,000 employees, parent company
Dish Network announced Monday night.
Locally, Blockbuster has just one store left in San Mateo
County at the Sequoia Station on El Camino Real in Redwood
City.
Last year, Blockbuster closed 500 stores across the nation
including locally in Belmont, downtown San Mateo and South
San Francisco.
Dish Network ofcials would not say which stores would
close but employees were given notice Friday.
The manager at the Redwood City store did not indicate
whether the store is slated for closure and referred questions
from the Daily Journal to a corporate ofce, which did not
respond.
The company will continue to operate about 500 stores in
the United States. Some stores will close as their leases end,
while others are being closed for under-performing, according
to Dish Network.
The company has suffered stiff competition from Redbox
and Netix in recent years and has moved toward renting
videos through digital streaming and Blockbuster Express
kiosks.
The number of Blockbuster stores nationwide will drop to
about 500 this year, down from a peak of 4,000 stores in the
mid-1990s.
The company went bankrupt in 2010 and was bought by
Dish Network in an auction for about $233 million.
Port reports increased imports
Business is up at the Port of Redwood City which reported
total tonnage for all commodities the rst half of the scal year
is up 9 percent.
Total tonnage is 666,543, of which nearly 67 percent was
imported sand and aggregates from British Columbia. This is
a more than 20 percent increase in the amount from the same
period last scal year. Shipments of bauxite and gypsum from
Australia and Mexico also added to the mix of inbound cargo.
Exports of shredded scrap metal was nearly 25 percent
below the same period last scal year due to a weak interna-
tional market for scrap metal.
Thirty-eight vessels 24 ships and 14 barges made calls
during the rst half of the scal year compared to 30 vessels
the previous year.

LONG BEACH California State
University ofcials said Tuesday they
will need nearly $250 million more in
state funding for the next academic year
than is currently proposed, an amount
that Gov. Jerry Brown called a dream
more than reality.
Brown warned the board of trustees at
its Tuesday meeting that any request for
funding more than the currently slated
$125 million for 2013-14 will be hard to
push through the Legislature.
Look, its a tight ship and its going
to get tighter, he said. Were going to
have to do some, how shall I say it
very creative, very thoughtful, very car-
ing adjustments.
The university and the governor are
also far apart on capital spending.
Brown has allotted $3.6 million for four
capital projects, while the university
says it needs $519.6 million for 38 proj-
ects that include seismic, utility and
infrastructure upgrades at various cam-
puses.
Brown, who is a member of the board
by virtue of his ofce, attended the
trustees meeting for the second time in
a row, a sign that he is paying close
attention to public higher education
spending and policies.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
An 18-year-old East Palo Alto man
who prosecutors say red several shots
into a vehicle on Highway 101 in
Belmont, sending two people to the hos-
pital with wounds, pleaded not guilty
yesterday to several counts of attempted
murder and gun use.
Eric Valencia Vargas will learn at a
March 26 preliminary hearing if hell
stand trial on the felonies stemming
from the Sept. 30 incident that also hos-
pitalized another passenger with minor
non-gunshot injuries.
Vargas is charged with 10 counts of
threatening a police ofcer, three counts
of attempted murder, three counts of
felony gang afliation, three counts of
shooting into a vehicle and gun posses-
sion.
Prosecutors believe the shooting was
motivated by a rivalry between two
gangs in East Palo Alto and Menlo Park
Vargas was arrested for the shooting
Dec. 6 in the juror parking lot outside
the Hall of Justice in Redwood City.
However, he was actually in custody
before that after allegedly ghting gang
task force ofcers Nov. 14 when they
found him in possession of a loaded gun.
He posted bail but was rearrested two
weeks later after forensics linked his
Glock to the Sept. 30 highway shooting.
The shooting began near the Ralston
Avenue exit when the driver of a red
Dodge Charger was shot from another
car while traveling south past the State
Route 92 interchange. The Charger
swerved before crashing into a fence and
stopping in a drainage ditch between
Ralston Avenue and Holly Street. Two of
the passengers, a 24-year-old man from
Menlo Park and a 19-year-old East Palo
Alto man, were hit by bullets. A 23-year-
old Santa Cruz woman in the car was
also hospitalized.
Vargas remains in custody without
bail.

WASHINGTON More than 6 in 10
Americans now favor allowing illegal
immigrants to eventually become U.S.
citizens, a major increase in support
driven by a turnaround in Republicans
opinions after the 2012 elections.
The finding, in a new Associated
Press-GfK poll, comes as the
Republican Party seeks to increase its
meager support among Latino voters,
who turned out in large numbers to help-
re-elect President Barack Obama in
November.
Emboldened by the overwhelming
Hispanic backing and by shifting atti-
tudes on immigration, Obama has made
overhauling laws about who can legally
live in the U.S. a centerpiece of his sec-
ond-term agenda. In the coming weeks,
hes expected to aggressively push for
ways to create an eventual pathway to
citizenship for the estimated 11 million
illegal immigrants already in this coun-
try.
The poll results suggest that the public
overall, not just Hispanics, will back his
efforts. Sixty-two percent of Americans
now favor providing a way for illegal
immigrants in the U.S. to become citi-
zens, an increase from just 50 percent in
the summer of 2010, the last time the AP
polled on the question.
In an even earlier poll, in 2009, some
47 percent supported a pathway to citi-
zenship for illegal immigrants.
Further boosting the president on the
issue, Democrats have opened a 41 per-
cent to 34 percent advantage as the party
more trusted to handle immigration, the
rst time theyve held a signicant edge
on the matter in AP-GfK polling. In
October 2010, Republicans held a slight
edge over Democrats, 46 percent to 41
percent, on the question of who was
more trusted on immigration.
Much of the increase in support for a
path to eventual citizenship has come
among Republicans. A majority in the
GOP 53 percent now favor the
change. Thats up a striking 22 percent-
age points from 2010. Seventy-two per-
cent of Democrats and 55 percent of
independents like the idea, similar to
2010.
The ndings suggest that those GOP
lawmakers weighing support for eventu-
al legal status for illegal immigrants
could be rewarded politically not just by
Democrats and independents but also by
some in their own party as well.
Poll: Many say let illegal immigrants stay in U.S.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A San Mateo man serving 25 years to
life in prison for the lengthy 1986 fatal
beating and strangulation of his girl-
friend is suitable for parole, a commis-
sion decided Friday.
The Board of Parole Hearings granted
Ronald Joe Moore, 63, an immediate
parole date which sends his case to
Sacramento for review and possible
gubernatorial approval. San Mateo
County prosecutors had objected to
releasing Moore, who was convicted in
June 1988 of rst-degree murder and
torture in the death of Claire Miller.
Moore had denied responsibility for
Millers Nov. 10, 1986 death during his
11-day trial but jurors found him guilty
of beating her for hours and strangling
her inside the San Mateo motel where
they lived. Miller suffered extreme
pain and suffering from the hours of
torture, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Miller and Moore were staying at the
Royal Lodge when, in the morning
hours, a woman in a neighboring room
was awakened by screams and the sound
of a woman pleading God, somebody
please help me, according to court
records. Other occupants also reported
hearing pleas to stop for up to six hours
before Millers death along with glass
breaking and thumping sounds like a
body falling or hitting a wall.
Ofcers responding just before 2 p.m.
found Miller unresponsive and without a
pulse. She was declared brain dead two
hours later.
Moore helped the ofcer administer
CPR until medics arrived. He told the
ofcer he had left the room while Miller
prostituted herself and found her uncon-
scious with the door ajar upon his return.
Police were suspicious of Moore in part
because he had unusually long nger-
nails that could have caused two cres-
cent-shaped wounds on Millers throat,
according to court records. He later
admitted arguing and struggling with her
during which she hit her head.
During trial, a defense expert testied
Moore may have suffered from cocaine-
induced transient psychosis and Moore
testied the couple had smoked crack on
and off for three days prior to her death
and again before the argument.
Moore had no prison rules violations
while incarcerated which was consid-
ered by the parole board, Wagstaffe said.

U.S. Afghan commander
cleared in Petraeus email case
WASHINGTON A Pentagon investiga-
tion has cleared Gen. John Allen, the top U.S.
commander in
Afghanistan, of profes-
sional misconduct in
exchanging emails with a
civilian woman linked to
the sex scandal that led
retired Gen. David
Petraeus to resign as CIA
director.
Pentagon press secretary
George Little said Tuesday
that Defense Secretary
Leon Panetta was informed of the conclusion
by the Pentagons inspector general.
The secretary was pleased to learn that alle-
gations of professional misconduct were not
substantiated by the investigation, Little said,
adding that Panetta has complete condence
in the continued leadership of Allen.
The matter had been referred to the
Pentagon in November by the FBI during the
course of its investigation of emails between
Petraeus and his biographer-turned-paramour,
Paula Broadwell. The FBI turned up thousands
of emails between Allen and Jill Kelley, who
was said to have received threatening emails
from Broadwell.
Senate chair: Count up
Hagel vote after hearing
WASHINGTON Top Senate Republicans
said Tuesday they would reserve judgment on
Chuck Hagels nomination
until after his conrmation
hearing next week, a posi-
tive sign for President
Barack Obamas choice to
head the Defense
Department.
Hagel, who already has
drawn strong opposition
from six Senate
Republicans, continued his
outreach to lawmakers on
Tuesday, meeting with 11 senators. Among
them were Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen.
John McCain, whose support for the nomina-
tion could smooth the way for the former GOP
senator and provide political cover for other
Republicans to back the nominee.
Senator Hagel and I are old friends and we
had a very frank and candid conversation, and
Ill be looking forward to the hearing and ask-
ing him questions, the Arizona Republican
told reporters at a news conference on his
recent overseas trip.

HOUSTON A shooting at a Texas com-
munity college wounded three people
Tuesday and sent some students eeing for
safety while others with medical training
helped tend the wounded.
Harris County Sheriffs Maj. Armando
Tello said authorities had detained a person of
interest.
Authorities also thought there could be a
second shooter, according to a law enforce-
ment ofcial in Washington who spoke on
condition of anonymity because he was not
authorized to discuss the ongoing case.
Students said they were studying or waiting
for classes to start when they heard gunshots
about 12:30 p.m. on the Lone Star College
System campus about 20 miles north of down-
town Houston. Some barricaded themselves in
the room they were in, while others ed to
nearby buildings.
Mark Zaragosa said he had just come out of
an EMT class when he saw two people who
were injured and stopped to help them.
Ofcers had not yet arrived, he said.
The two people that I took care of had just
minor injuries, Zaragosa told KHOU. One
gentleman had a gunshot to the knee and the
(other) actually had an entry wound to the
lower buttocks area.
The colleges ofcial Twitter feed said the
shooting was between two people. Tello said
three people were injured, but he did not pro-
vide any details about them, such as whether
they were students or included the person who
was arrested.
Mark Smith, spokesman for the Harris
County Emergency Corps, said three people
were taken to two hospitals. He said at least
two had gunshot wounds, and one appeared to
have heart problems related to the shooting.
He said one was in critical condition.
Smith said previously that four people had
been taken to hospitals.
Reginald Neal told KPRC-TV that his
nephew, Jody Neal, 24, was one of the wound-
ed taken to Harris Health Ben Taub Hospital
Emergency Center.
All I know he got shot three times. Thats
all I know, Reginald Neal said. He got shot
in one of his arms, in the stomach and the leg.

SACRAMENTO State Senate leader
Darrell Steinberg is meeting this week with
Obama administration and congressional of-
cials in Washington, D.C., to promote
Californias approach to dealing with mental
illness as a model for the nation.
Californias Mental Health Services Act,
approved by voters eight years ago, raises $1
billion a year for early intervention and treat-
ment through a special tax on millionaires.
Steinberg is urging the federal government
to devote $10 billion to help states establish
additional mental health programs, perhaps by
making treatment a priority under Medicaid
and the federal Affordable Care Act.
The Senate president pro tem, a Democrat
from Sacramento, met Tuesday with aides to
Vice President Joe Biden, who headed
President Barack Obamas
review of gun control and
mental health efforts after
the Newton, Conn., school
shooting. He also met with
representatives of national
mental health advocacy
groups.
We are leading the
country in identifying
early signs of mental ill-
ness especially in young
people and then in doing something about it,
Steinberg said in a telephone interview. They
conrmed for us that nobody is doing what
California is doing, on the scale that we are
doing it. No one is putting $1 billion a year
into community mental health.
The Associated Press reported in August
that tens of millions of dollars from
Steinbergs Proposition 63 has gone to gener-
al wellness programs for people who had not
been diagnosed with any mental illness, and
Steinberg has asked auditors to review the
program. Other critics say not enough money
is going to those already diagnosed with seri-
ous mental illness.
But Steinberg said the biggest problem is
that about $750 million has been taken out of
mental health programs to deal with budget
cuts even as the initiative raised $1 billion
from a 1 percent surtax on incomes exceeding
$1 million.
He said early intervention and treatment is
key to preventing violence like last months
massacre in Connecticut, where a young gun-
man killed 20 elementary school students, six
educators and himself.

JERUSALEM Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and his hard-line
allies fared far worse than expected in a
parliamentary election Tuesday, prelimi-
nary results showed, likely forcing him
to reach across the aisle to court a popu-
lar political newcomer to cobble together
a new coalition.
While Netanyahu appeared positioned
to serve a third term as prime minister,
the results marked a major setback for his
policies and could force him to make
new concessions to restart long-stalled
peace talks with the Palestinians.
His most likely partner was Yesh Atid,
or There is a Future, a party headed by
political newcomer Yair Lapid that
showed surprising strength. Lapid has
said he would only join a government
committed to sweeping economic
changes and a resumption of peace talks
with the Palestinians.
Addressing his supporters early
Wednesday, Netanyahu vowed to form as
broad a coalition as possible. He said the
next government would be built on prin-
ciples that include reforming the con-
tentious system of granting draft exemp-
tions to ultra-Orthodox Jewish men and
the pursuit of a genuine peace with the
Palestinians. He did not elaborate, but the
message seemed aimed at Lapid.
Shortly after the results were
announced, Netanyahu called Lapid and
offered to work together. We have the
opportunity to do great things together,
Netanyahu was quoted as saying by
Likud ofcials.
According to preliminary results,
Netanyahus Likud-Yisrael Beitenu
alliance was set to capture about 31 of
the 120 seats, signicantly fewer than the
42 it held in the ou9going parliament and
below the forecasts of recent polls.
With his traditional allies of nationalist
and religious parties, Netanyahu could
put together a shaky majority of 61 seats,
initial results showed. But it would be
virtually impossible to keep such a nar-
row coalition intact, though it was possi-
ble he could take an additional seat or
two as numbers trickled in throughout
the night.
The results capped a lackluster cam-
paign in which peacemaking with the
Palestinians, traditionally the dominant
issue in Israeli politics, was pushed aside.
Netanyahu portrayed himself as the only
candidate capable of leading Israel at a
turbulent time, while the fragmented
opposition targeted him on domestic eco-
nomic issues.

Algeria scours Sahara for five missing foreigners
ALGIERS, Algeria Algerian forces scoured the Sahara
Desert on Tuesday, searching for ve foreign energy workers
who vanished during a chaotic four-day battle with hostage-
taking Islamist militants.
One ofcial says the men may have ed the sprawling com-
plex during the ghting and gotten lost.
The four-day confrontation that began when al-Qaida-afli-
ated militants stormed the remote desert natural gas complex
and took hostages early Wednesday, was punctuated by
exploding cars, attacks from helicopters and a nal assault by
Algerian special forces.
In all, 37 hostages, including an Algerian security guard, and
29 militants were killed, but ve other foreign workers remain
unaccounted for.
Are they dead? Did they attempt to ee the site after the
attack like some other expatriates? Are they lost in the desert
after taking a wrong turn? an ofcial who is part of Prime
Minister Abdemalek Sellals ofce told the Associated Press.
These are all questions we ask ourselves, but one thing is
sure, everything is being done to know their fate.
The ofcial spoke on condition of anonymity because he
was not authorized to speak to the media.
The Ain Amenas gas plant, jointly run by BP, Norways
Statoil and the Algerian state oil company, is located deep in
the Sahara, some 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) south of the
Mediterranean coast, with few population centers nearby.
Russians starts evacuating nationals from Syria
MASNAA, Lebanon Key Syrian ally Russia began evac-
uating its citizens from the country on Tuesday as the civil war
gathered momentum in the capital Damascus with intense
ghting around the international airport.
The evacuation was the strongest sign yet of Moscows wan-
ing condence in the ability of its ally President Bashar Assad
to hold onto power. The U.N. chief said Tuesday that a diplo-
matic conclusion to the war seems unlikely.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said
the Russian evacuations indicate the continued deterioration
of the security situation and the violence that Assad is leading
against his own people.
Four buses carrying about 80 people, mostly women and
children, crossed out of the country over land into neighboring
Lebanon in the early afternoon. They were bound for the
Lebanese capital Beirut to y home in two planes that Russia
sent. They apparently were not own directly home out of
Damascus because of the ghting around the airport there.
Russian announced the beginning of the evacuations on
Monday, saying it would take out 100 nationals.

Leaf blowers
Editor,
The San Mateo City Council had a
leaf blower demonstration yesterday at
Central Park. I spoke to my gardener
and asked him how he felt about it
He told me he was not concerned
about it. He said it only represents a
new annual expense of about $160 to
$200 he very likely would have to pay
the citys bureaucracy to obtain a per-
mit
He already owns the new blowers as
he was required to do to be able to con-

China is paying for
our Health Exchange
Editor,
Times are good when the federal
government can borrow money from
China and throw it over the fence like
a frisbee or is it freebie to build
Californias Health Exchange to the
tune of $674 million.
After 2014, Californians are going
to foot the bill of nearly $1 billion per
year to keep that government depart-
ment in business, especially great
union jobs with salaries and benefit to
match of course. I am thinking there
are some real parties planned to cele-
brate. Dont you? Frankly, am I just
one of the few worrying how our chil-
dren are going to repay this donation
and others like it (100 weeks of
unemployment benefits give or take)
so lavishly provided? Yes, $1 billion
of insurance-payers money disappear-
ing into a black hole of government
managed behemoths complete with
waste, fraud and no oversight. Heaven
forbid ... we would actually find out
how they spend our money. On a
related side note, nowhere do I hear
stories about belt tightening, caution-
ary spending and reducing expenses.
Heck, that was just a bad dream we
had yesterday, or was it?

Letters to the editor
A
recent proposal to rename San
Francisco International
Airport after former San
Francisco supervisor and gay rights
activist Harvey Milk means well, but
could prove to be problematic.
First, let us say that Milk was leg-
endary and the work he did to move
gay rights forward is certainly notewor-
thy. His legacy is enduring and we
should be proud to have such a man in
the Bay Areas collective history.
However, San Francisco International
Airport, or SFO, is a ne name as it is.
There have been other efforts to rename
it after a notable gure, including for-
mer mayors Joseph Alioto and Willie L.
Brown. Even the late congressman Tom
Lantos had an effort to rename the air-
port after him, but a hub in the new
international terminal was settled upon.
Alioto, Brown and Lantos all had ties
to the airport and worked on its behalf
on a number of renovation/expansion
efforts.
There is no link between Milk and
the airport aside from the fact that he
lived and worked in San Francisco. The
airport may be owned by the city of
San Francisco, but its location in San
Mateo County should give residents
here some say in changes to it. While
there have been plenty of noteworthy
people on the Peninsula who have been
involved with the airport in one capaci-
ty or another, none rise to the level of
having it renamed after them.
There are other instances of airports
around the country being named for
people, most notably LaGuardia and
John F. Kennedy in New York City,
OHare in Chicago and Mineta in San
Jose. But those are more the exception
to the rule. For the most part, naming
an airport after a person is rare, and
should remain that way unless that per-
son had strong ties to it or to trans-
portation, as Mineta has.
We understand the rationale behind
the effort by San Francisco Supervisor
David Campos. There is no internation-
al airport named after an openly gay
person, and the change would certainly
elevate Milks international promi-
nence. But that doesnt mean this par-
ticular effort is the right one. The air-
port name now represents this areas
best asset, and that is the city of San
Francisco. It should remain as it is.
SFOs name should remain
Non-performers
W
e make a living by what we get, we make
a life by what we give. Winston
Churchill.
A few weeks ago, a letter to the editor in one of the
newspapers we read caught my attention. The writer
lamented, The recent actions on the fiscal cliff were
to punish the successful and
reward the non-performers.
In his own words, he repeat-
ed the same old mantra that
ultra-conservatives, deplor-
ing any tax increase, spew
regularly. Such views are
very discouraging and
depressing to read (or hear)
again because it reminds us
that there are many people in
this country who are so arro-
gant and narcissistic that
they completely lack empa-
thy and compassion. They
seem to believe they are
Gods chosen and those who do not perform deserve
absolutely nothing from them. I would never use the word
successful, to describe such people. They are not suc-
cessful as human beings no matter how much money and
influence they may obtain.
This obviously aggravated letter writer apparently suf-
fers from what John W. Dean describes in his book,
Conservatives Without Conscience. He writes,
Conservatives without conscience do not have horns and
tails; if they did theyd be easier to identify. Many of
them can be quite pleasant, but at heart they are tough,
cold-blooded, ruthless authoritarian. They are limited in
their ability to see the world from any point of view but
their own, and they are narrow in their outlook.
So, what is being successful? Is it grabbing every-
thing you can for yourself so that you can impress your-
self and others? Is it obtaining a position of power so you
can influence others to believe the way you do and/or
carry on in your authoritarian ways? Is it believing that
you are one who made it on his own and those who do not
make it in this world are inferior beings who dont
deserve any better? Or is it the person who, even though
he doesnt have a lot, is willing to share what he has with
those less fortunate those non-performers? Or maybe
its someone who had a really rough childhood and youth
who has become an asset to the community because he is
honest, decent, compassionate and responsible. And what
about some of those with wealth, like Warren Buffet, who
give generously to good causes?
Youd think that by now we would have realized our
cultural definition of success and achieving the Great
American Dream is very distorted. Gurus have warned us
for centuries that success isnt in how much wealth we
accumulate or how much power we have, but in attaining
peace of mind, sharing with others and enjoying reward-
ing relationships. You wonder if we, as a culture, will ever
learn that gaining power and wealth at the expense of oth-
ers is despicable, that wealth without integrity and com-
passion is immoral, and that self-indulgence and hedo-
nism do not lead to true contentment or peace of mind.
Authoritarian conservatives are often religious fundamen-
talists, yet they dont seem to have absorbed the message:
There, but for the grace of God, go I.
I know Ive gone on about this before, but theres noth-
ing that gets my dander up more than people who have
such a grossly inflated view of themselves that they are
unable to feel empathy and compassion and are indiffer-
ent to the suffering of others as they cling tenaciously to
their assets. From the shenanigans that have surrounded
the fiscal cliff boondoggle, we got a good idea of who
these types are in Washington.
When you combine the generally accepted definition of
the American Dream with lack of conscience and empa-
thy, you come up with those authoritarian conservatives
who Dean describes. He warns us: Conservatism has
been co-opted by authoritarians, a most dangerous type of
political animal. Think Tea Party.
If we want our democratic society to thrive, we need to
focus on recreating the American Dream so everyone has
a chance at a better life and the gap between the rich and
poor narrows considerably. We must downplay the adula-
tion of the wealthy and powerful and disavow the mantra:
You are what you have.
If only those conservatives who are having such a hard
time parting with a few extra tax dollars and disrupting
our governmental processes with their inability to soften
their hearts and open their minds a bit, could absorb the
following: It is a worried life in which people pursue a
success that forever eludes them. Their goal is an unde-
fined material success, to be provided by the largest
returns in the shortest amount of time. These are unquiet
souls; their way of life is unrelenting. Alexis de
Tocqueville.

L
ike any successful company,
Wal-Mart knows a public rela-
tions coup when it sees one.
Plans announced recently are text-
book perfect: The nations largest pri-
vate employer said it would hire every
recent veteran seeking a job, amounting
to 100,000 hires over ve years.
But dismissing this as a stunt would
be a mistake.
Wal-Marts commitment to hire such
a large number of veterans and more
importantly, its endorsement of their
value as workers is meaningful and
one we hope will set an example for
others to follow.
Veterans returning from Iraq and
Afghanistan have had a tough haul.
Their unemployment rates outpace
the nation as a whole, with veterans
encountering difculty with a percep-
tion among employers that former sol-
diers are unstable and lack skills that
are transferable to the civilian world.
Bill Simon, CEO of Wal-Mart U.S.,
took a step toward dispelling that
stereotype with this:
Hiring a veteran can be one of the
best business decisions you make,
Simon, a Navy veteran, said in a speech
to the National Retail Federation.
Veterans have a record of performance
under pressure. Theyre quick leaders
and team players.
We have no illusions that Wal-Mart
will erase the veteran unemployment
rate or solve all the nancial problems
for hired vets. Hourly Wal-Mart wages
are still too low to support a family and
far too many Wal-Mart employees get
stuck with part-time hours when they
want full-time work.
Wal-Mart has made many missteps
for which it must make amends, which
is often in the backdrop when big ini-
tiatives are announced. That is the gift
of advocates and journalists who
expose Wal-Marts aws.
They push Wal-Mart, and hopefully
all of us, to do better. Todays beneci-
aries are 100,000 veterans who
admirably served our country and
deserve to be welcomed home with
open arms.

Strong earnings reports from big U.S.
companies helped push the Dow Jones
industrial average to its eighth gain in
nine sessions Tuesday.
DuPont, Verizon and Travelers Cos.,
three of the 30 stocks that make up the
Dow, closed higher after reporting their
nancial results for the nal quarter of
2012.
The Dow closed up 62.51 points, or
0.5 percent, at 13,712.21. The Standard
& Poors 500 index gained 6.53, or 0.4
percent, to 1,492.51. The Nasdaq com-
posite average rose 8.47, or 0.3 percent,
to 3,143.18.
The indexes spent the morning edging
between small gains and losses. Around
noon, the Dow rose decisively and stayed
higher for the rest of the day.
Earnings have been strong enough this
season to drive a ve-day winning streak
for the S&P 500 and put the Dow on
track for its biggest monthly percentage
gain since October 2011. Jack Ablin,
chief investment ofcer at BMO Private
Bank in Chicago, said traders have been
encouraged by the number of companies
beating analysts prot expectations.
Granted, we have diminished expec-
tations, but companies are doing a decent
job beating on the prot side, he said.
The revenue side of the equation has
been weaker, Ablin said, preventing a
stronger updraft for stocks. Traders
might gain more condence if companies
reported stronger demand from emerging
markets and Europe, he said.
The U.S. has been pulling this wagon
by itself for the last couple years, and now
were facing some austerity measures. We
could certainly use a hand, he said.
Among the Dow components that
reported early Tuesday, chemical and
bioscience company DuPont reported a
sharp drop in net income on weakness in
its electronics, communications and
other businesses, but the results still beat
analysts forecasts. DuPonts stock
closed up 83 cents, or 1.8 percent, at
$47.82.
Johnson & Johnson said higher sales
helped boost its prot from a year ago,
when results were weighed down by a
slew of one-time charges. However, the
companys 2013 prot forecast fell short
of analysts estimates. J&J dropped 54
cents, or 0.7 percent, to $72.69.
Verizon Communications Inc. rose
after the countrys biggest wireless carri-
er said it activated a record number of
new devices on contract-based plans in
the fourth quarter. Verizons net loss
widened on restructuring and pension
costs and expenses related to the cleanup
from Superstorm Sandy. Its stock rose 40
cents, or 0.9 percent, to $42.94.
A fourth member of the Dow 30, prop-
erty and casualty insurer Travelers Cos.,
rose strongly after it said core income
categories like investments and premi-
ums written rose. Net income fell
because of claims led in the wake of
Superstorm Sandy. The stock shot up
$1.64, or 2.2 percent, to $77.95, an all-
time closing high. Travelers has risen
nearly 27 percent over the past 12
months.
The market was closed on Monday for
the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Yet another company hit by
Superstorm Sandy was Delta Air Lines,
which said its fourth-quarter prot was
nearly wiped out after it was forced to
cancel more than 20,000 ights. The
storm hit Delta harder than other airlines
because it slowed operations at Deltas
new oil renery near Philadelphia. The
results were still better than analysts
were expecting. Delta rose 40 cents, or
2.9 percent, to $14.01.
Tech behemoths Google and IBM
reported solid earnings gains after the
market closed. Tech companies results
are being watched closely because many
of them have warned about a weak fourth
quarter.
Google soared after saying its fourth-
quarter earnings rose 7 percent as online
advertisers spent more money in pursuit
of holiday shoppers. The stock gained
$29.13, or 4.1 percent, to $732 in after-
hours trading.
IBM said its net income rose 6 percent.
The stock rose $6.82, or 3.5 percent, to
$202.90 in late trading.
Stocks rise as tech, industrial earns roll in
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Tuesday on the New
York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
TD Ameritrade Holding Corp., up 58 cents at $19.03
The online brokerage said that its scal rst-quarter prot fell 3 percent,
but its results still beat analysts expectations.
Goodrich Petroleum Corp., up 67 cents at $10.32
A BMO Capital Markets analyst upgraded the oil and natural gas
companys stock, saying shares could rise after a recent selloff.
Packaging Corp. of America, down $1.21 at $38.81
The producer of containerboard and corrugated packaging issued an
outlook for the current quarter that was below expectations.
Kansas City Southern, up $4.04 at $91.67
The railroad operator said that its fourth-quarter net income fell 4 percent,
but its results still topped Wall Street expectations.
SeaCube Container Leasing Ltd., up $2.84 at $23.14
The shipping-container leasing company agreed to be acquired by the
Ontario Teachers Pension Plan for $466.9 million.
Nasdaq
Research In Motion Ltd., up $2.06 at $17.90
Shares of the BlackBerry maker rose after its CEO was quoted in a German
newspaper saying the company is considering strategic options.
Western Digital Corp., up $2.55 at $47.36
The computer hard drive maker said it acquired Arkeia, a private data
protection company, to increase products for smaller businesses.

continued to cut costs.
Big movers

NEW YORK For many investors,
Apples best days are behind it.
Competitors are catching up, they
believe, and the latest iPhone is stum-
bling.
The companys doubters have backed
their conviction with billions of dollars.
Last week, the stock fell below $500 for
the rst time in 11 months. Since Apples
stock peaked at $705.07 on Sept. 21
the day of the iPhone 5s release it has
fallen nearly 30 percent, cutting Apples
market capitalization by nearly $200 bil-
lion.
On Wednesday, Apple still the
worlds most valuable public company
gets a chance to rebut the skeptics as it
reports nancial results for the holiday
quarter. But the report could also end up
conrming beliefs that the company is
losing its edge as an arbiter of innovation
and a pacesetter in sales growth.
Apples perception problem centers on
the iPhone. Many investors believe the
company has painted itself into a corner
with the high-priced gadget. The iPhone is
more expensive than other smartphones
that do many of the same things. The com-
pany created the modern smartphone, but
because of its strategy to sell the iPhone at
a large premium, it will be unable to cap-
italize fully as smartphones continue con-
quering the world. The iPhone seems des-
tined to remain the phone of the elite who
can afford it.
In many ways, the iPhones global bat-
tle with phones running Googles Android
operating system is a replay of the Mac-
PC battles of the 80s and 90s, when
Apple saw its innovative-yet-expensive
Mac outanked by cheaper PCs running
Microsofts DOS and Windows software.
Can Apple maintain its shine?
Googles 4Q earnings rise
despite Motorola worries
By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO Google eked out slightly higher
earnings in the fourth quarter, despite a nancial drag caused
by the Internet search leaders expansion into device manu-
facturing and a decline in digital ad prices as more people
gaze into the smaller screens of smartphones.
The results announced Tuesday pleased investors, helping
to lift Googles stock by nearly 5 percent in extended trading.
More advertising poured into Google during the holiday
shopping season, fueling a moneymaking machine that has
steadily churned out higher prots since the company went
public in 2004. Googles fourth-quarter ad revenue totaled
$12.1 billion, a 19 percent increase from the previous year.
Some of that money, though, has been shifting away from
personal computers as advertisers try to connect with an
expanding audience that relies on smartphones and tablet
computers to reach Googles search engine, email and other
online services. By some estimates, about one-fourth of
Googles search requests are now coming from mobile
devices.
Reports: Microsoft may invest in Dell buyout
NEW YORK Microsoft has joined the negotiations
to buy struggling computer maker Dell, according to
media reports.
Both CNBC and The Wall Street Journal reported that
Microsoft Corp. may invest some of the money needed to
take Dell Inc. private after 25 years as a publicly traded
company. Tuesdays stories cited unidentified people
familiar with the negotiations.
If Microsoft joins in a Dell buyout, CNBC and the
Journal say the software maker would contribute $1 bil-
lion to $3 billion. That amount would make Microsoft
Corp. a minority investor in a complex deal expected to
cost $23 billion to $27 billion if its completed.
Microsoft declined to comment on the reports.
Word that Dell Inc. is interested in selling to a group led
by buyout rm Silver Lake Partners rst surfaced last week.
Wells Fargo increases dividend
SAN FRANCISCO Wells Fargo & Co. is increasing
its regular quarterly dividend by 3 cents to 25 cents, an
increase of nearly 14 percent.
The countrys biggest mortgage lender says the divi-
dend will be payable March 1 to shareholders of record
as of Feb. 1.
Wells Fargo indicated last year that it might boost its
dividend in 2013 as part of its 2012 capital plan that the
Federal Reserve did not object to in March 2012. The
Federal Reserve is now reviewing Wells Fargos 2013 cap-
ital plan.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. The
only reason why Matt Birk
brought his aching knees and bat-
tered body to training camp for a

Super Bowl.
The 36-year-old Birk was both-

injuries during his previous three
years with the

never missed a

the offseason,
the six-time

repair varicose
veins in his legs.
Still, Birk
knew the
Ravens had a
shot at a
championship,
and he wanted
to be a part of
it.
At this

career, losing
takes a lot out of you, Birk said.
I wouldnt have come back if I
didnt think there was a legitimate
chance that I could help the team.

For a program that prides itself on setting
high expectations year in and year out, the
College of San Mateo softball team has
entered uncharted territory.
For the rst time under head coach Nicole
Borg, the Bulldogs enter a season as the lone,
defending Coast Conference champions after
nally unseating rival Ohlone College from
atop the standings last season.
But if you think Borg and her Bulldogs are
content with nally getting over the proverbial
hump last year and resting on those laurels,
you have another thing coming.
The expectation this year is to win another
conference championship, Borg said. I think
thats what every single one of us has on our
plate. We dont set an expectation to lose. We
set an expectation to win every game. And so
yeah, theres a lot of pressure there. But life is
pressure. To be successful in life, you have to
be able to thrive under pressure. The thing I
want so much for this group is to say they
were the rst under myself and my coaching
staff to win two conference championship.
Because thats hard to do, win back-to-back
champsionships. And they have the talent to
do it. Hopefully, we do what we need to do on
game day.
The 2013 softball Bulldogs are indeed
loaded at least it would appear that way on
paper. Of the 13 players listed on Borgs ros-
ter, nine are returners giving them more than
twice as many sophomores (four) as last year
a season that saw CSM go 39-6 for one of
the years in school history.
You always want to be the top dog, Borg
said. And it feels great. And the fact that we
have so many returners is even better. And
they have a great understanding of what it
took to get that championship last year and
hopefully they have a real sour taste in their

Any checklist to win a Peninsula Athletic
League title has beat the reigning champs
right at the very top.
The Woodside High School girls soccer
team can now check that off its list.
The Wildcats jumped into the proverbial dri-
vers seat Tuesday afternoon, defeating reign-
ing PAL Bay Division champion Carlmont
High School 2-1 to take a one-game advantage
in the standings as the regular season nears its
halfway point. Woodside didnt necessary
squeak past the Scots either the Wildcats
controlled the majority of the game with
Carlmont managing just four shots on net the
entire game and the home white using a
Lauren Holland goal in the 54th minute to
secure the victory.
We do have a lot of younger girls and they
havent experienced a game as tough as this,
said Woodside senior defender Randall
Stafford. And all I had for them was, play our
game. Work as hard as you possibly can. Be
aggressive and dont let them shove you. Be
the good team we know we are throughout the
entire game.
We knew that they were a fantastic team,
said Woodside coach Jose Navarrete of
Carlmont. We have a lot of respect for them.
And they played with such persistency. We
knew they were going to be on us. Fortunately,
we got off to a pretty good start. We hung in
there. It was ugly at the end but we hung in
there. Theyre a very, very good team. We
knew that we had to play 80 hard minutes just
to stay with them. Although we were kind of
zzling at the end, our girls gave a great effort,
a smart effort.
It was an overall balanced effort by the
Wildcats who did have to withstand a late-
game urry of scoring desperation by the
Scots. But for the most part, Woodsides talent
on the ball and especially in the mideld with
players like Holland and Heather Seybert was
superior to Carlmonts throughout the game
that, and the Scots had very little they could
do defending Erika Negrete.
I dont know if weve had a player here
like Erika who, even with nothing left, will
Woodside takes Round 1
EDMONTON, Alberta Patrick Marleau
and Logan Couture each had two goals and an
assist as the San Jose Sharks won their second
in a row to start the abbreviated NHL season,
defeating the Oilers 6-3 on Tuesday night and
ruin Edmontons home opener.
Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Dan Boyle also
scored and Joe Thornton had three assists for
the Sharks (2-0-0).
Taylor Hall, Nail Yakupov and Justin Schultz
replied for the Oilers (1-1-0).
San Jose struck rst on a two-man advantage
just three minutes into the match as Joe
Pavelski fed it to Boyle at the top of the circle
and his blast got past Edmontons starting
goalie Devan Dubnyk.
It was a 2-0 game just over a minute later as
the Sharks again capitalized on the power play,
this time on a Couture wrist shot that fooled
Dubnyk.
Edmonton was able to respond on a power
play of its own 8 1/2 minutes into the opening
period as Sam Gagner passed the puck through
the goalmouth to a hard-charging Yakupov,
who put the puck in the net before Sharks
goalie Antti Niemi could get across the crease.
It was the rst NHL goal for Yakupov, who
was drafted rst overall in last summers 2012
Entry Draft by the Oilers.
San Jose quickly restored its two-goal lead
halfway through the rst as Thorntons no-look
pass from behind the net found Marleau, who
sent home his third goal of the season.
Just over a minute later it was a 4-1 game for
the Sharks as Marleau scored high to the glove
side on a quick shot from the slot on another
power play with Thornton picking up his third
assist of the game.
The rst period pounding wasnt over yet,
however.
San Jose added two more goals to make it 6-
1 after 20 minutes as Couture scored his sec-
ond of the game on a rebound with just under
two minutes left and Vlasic scored on a
screened point shot with 40 seconds remain-
ing.
San Jose out-shot Edmonton 17-7 in the rst.
Backup goalie Yann Danis started the second
in the Oilers net.
Edmonton got a goal back on a two-man
advantage of its own with ve minutes left in
the second as Schultz, a player the Oilers
acquired as a free agent after a league-wide
bidding war last summer, scored his rst NHL
goal to make it 6-2.

HONOLULU The NFL is hoping to
decide the fate of the Pro Bowl by the time it
releases next seasons schedule in April. And
the fate of the leagues all-star game will
largely depend on how much effort this years
participants put into the game.
NFL Executive Vice President of Football
Operations Ray Anderson told reporters of the
timing at a news conference Tuesday to kick
off this years Pro Bowl week in Honolulu. He
said the league expects its players to play a
game that fans will be proud of.
Our hope is that the players will give the
same effort and energy that allowed them to
become roster members of this Pro Bowl,
Anderson said.
Commissioner Roger Goodell nearly can-
celed the game after uninspiring play last year,
but it will be held Sunday at Aloha Stadium
after discussions between the league and the
players union.
Chicago Bears cornerback Charles Tillman,
a Pro Bowler for the second year in a row, says
the message to players has been clear. He said
players need to balance playing hard with
avoiding injury, to give fans the game they
deserve without hurting their teams going into
next year.
We owe it to our fans, we owe it to our
viewers, to give them a little more effort than
we did last year, Tillman said.
Anderson said the league has considered
less intense substitutions for the game, includ-
ing skills competitions, seven-on-seven scrim-
mages or other watered down events. But of-
cials havent found anything that lives up to
the standards of what fans expect.
Tillman said fans are used to touchdowns
and interceptions.
Thats what the fans want, Tillman said.
Anderson and Tillman spoke as the league
promoted a week full of events leading up to
the Pro Bowl, including practices at Pearl
Harbor and an exchange program with
Japanese coaches.
Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell made a
public plea to keep the Pro Bowl in Honolulu,
saying perhaps the city and state dont express
their appreciation often enough for the game
being held on the islands.
Anderson said the relationship between the
league and Hawaii has grown strong over
more than three decades.
Pro Bowls future hangs in the balance
NEW YORK Sean Payton is back as
coach of the New Orleans Saints.
Paytons season-long suspension for his role
in the Saints bounty program was lifted by
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on
Tuesday, nearly two weeks earlier than
expected.
The decision allows Payton to attend the
Senior Bowl in Mobile,
Ala., on Saturday, where
some of the top college
players available for the
NFL draft will be compet-
ing.
Payton, along with assis-
tant head coach Joe Vitt,
general manager Mickey
Loomis, and four players
including Jonathan Vilma,
was suspended after an
investigation found the club had a perform-
ance pool offering cash rewards for key plays,
including big hits. The player suspensions
eventually were overturned.
I clearly recognize that mistakes were
made, which led to league violations, Payton
said in a statement. Furthermore, I have
assured the commissioner a more diligent pro-
tocol will be followed.
The suspension was scheduled to end after
the Super Bowl on Feb. 3, but was moved up
after Payton and Goodell met on Monday.
Coach Payton acknowledged in the meet-
ing his responsibility for the actions of his
coaching staff and players and pledged to
uphold the highest standards of the NFL and
ensure that his staff and players do so as well,
Goodell said in a statement. Sean fully com-
plied with all the requirements imposed on
him during his suspension.
More important, it is clear that Sean under-
stands and accepts his responsibilities as a
head coach and the vital role that coaches play
in promoting player safety and setting an
example for how the game should be played at
all levels.
Saints owner Tom Benson welcomed back
his coach.
We are all thankful that Sean Payton has
been reinstated, Benson said. We have a lot
of work to do and we are in the middle of it
right now.
Payton also needs to ll a key position on
his coaching staff following the departure last
week of offensive line coach and running
game coordinator Aaron Kromer, now the
offensive coordinator in Chicago.
Loomis and Vitt are in Mobile evaluating
players. Loomis said he was caught off guard
by the news of Paytons return. But he said
having Payton back sooner than expected will
help the Saints.
Every day makes a difference. Weve cer-
tainly missed Sean in terms of the football
team and all the things that go with our busi-
ness and the game. But look, I miss his friend-
ship. We all miss his friendship. We miss him
as a person. Im excited that hes going to be
back here and red up that hes back.
Vitt said he talked to Payton Tuesday morn-
ing and that he should join the Saints contin-
gent in Alabama on Wednesday.
We just found out on the way to practice,
Vitt said. Mr. B called Mickey and were all
excited. Sean went and spent the day in New
York (Monday). He just got back in Dallas. I
talked to him on the phone about 5 oclock
this morning. Hes packing his bags so well
expect hell be here some time Wednesday.
Vitt agreed with Loomis that the timing of
Paytons return is good for the team.
Payton is going to hit the ground running
with both feet. His jaw is going to be set. Hell
have a note pad full of thoughts and ideas and
hes going to have to get himself caught up
with the evaluation process of our team and
looking at lm, which hell do. This is perfect,
getting him back now, because hes going to
be here for the readings of our players. Hes
going to be here for the readings of these col-
lege seniors. We start handing out unrestricted
free agent tape on Thursday and Friday of this
week.
This is where youre building the founda-
tion of your football team, with the evaluation
process of these draft eligible juniors and sen-
iors and the free agents that are out there.
There remains one outstanding issue for the
Saints stemming from the bounty probe: What
will become of the Saints second pick next
spring. As part of the bounty punishment,
Goodell ned the Saints $500,000 and took
away second-round picks in 2012 and 2013.
However, Goodell left open the possibility of
restoring the 2013 second-rounder and instead
docking the team a later-round pick if he is
satised with the clubs level of cooperation in
the bounty matter.
What the Saints do know is that the 49-year-
old Payton is set to return to New Orleans for
the next ve seasons. Earlier this month he
signed a contract extension running through
the 2017 season.
The coach is the last person punished in the
bounty probe to return to work. Before
Tuesday, Payton had not been at work since
mid-April, when Goodell rejected the coachs
appeal of his suspension.
Loomis was suspended for eight games, Vitt
for six and former defensive coordinator
Gregg Williams remains suspended indenite-
ly
Vilma and current Saints defensive lineman
Will Smith, along with former Saints Scott
Fujita and Anthony Hargrove, were given sus-
pensions of various lengths, but never served a
game.

Theres a snowboarder working on a trick so
difcult that if the feat is pulled off in a competi-
tion, it just may be game over for everyone else.
Heard this one before?
Only, this time its not Shaun White honing the
mechanics of an intricate maneuver in a hush-
hush location as he did before capturing gold at
the 2010 Vancouver Games.
No, this is Elena Hight, a 23-year-old two-time
Olympian who doesnt have Whites name
recognition who does, really? but she can
alter an event just like him, especially once she
dials in her game-changing trick thats essential-
ly two backips with a 180-degree rotation.
She plans to debut it this weekend at the Winter
X Games in Aspen, Colo.
That is, if she can work up the nerve. Because,
really, its still a work in progress.
Theres a lot that can go wrong, said Hight,
whos chasing after an elusive Winter X gold
after taking second in Aspen and again in Tignes,
France, last season. More than anything, its get-
ting past that fear.
Hight has landed the trick the one snow-
boarders refer to as a double alley-oop backside
rodeo on a trampoline, into a foam pit and
then onto an air bag set up at the end of the half-
pipe. Her breakthrough moment came last May
at U.S. team camp, when she successfully per-
formed the feat on the course to become as the
snowboard community is saying the rst
female to do so.
Now comes the tricky part: Taking it from
practice and attempting the endeavor in a com-
petition, under the bright lights and in front of a
big audience.
Pull this off, though, and Hight, of Lake Tahoe,
Calif., instantly leaps into the role of favorite
heading into the 2014 Sochi Games. As it stands,
shes someone that everyone is carefully watch-
ing.
I was there that day when she landed it and
what she did was just amazing, said Gretchen
Bleiler, an Olympic silver medalist at the 2006
Turin Games. By doing that, shes already pro-
gressed womens snowboarding. Its already on
everyones mind. Its like, OK, maybe this is
something I need to start doing?
This is the sort of trick that even White is try-
ing to incorporate into his repertoire.
Thats saying something, right?
Its the only double Ive tried, Hight said. I
wouldnt want to do some of the doubles that
Shaun or some of the guys do. Hopefully, I can
get it going and show it off at X Games.
She very well may need it, too, given the talent
in the halfpipe these days. Also expected to com-
pete this weekend are reigning Olympic champi-
on Torah Bright of Australia and 2002 Salt Lake
City Games gold medalist Kelly Clark of West
Dover, Vt. Clark also is the two-time defending
champion in Aspen.
Kelly is riding amazing, Hight said. Shes
out there doing her thing, always pushing it. Its
great to see. Were all such good friends, so its
awesome when someone is stepping it up,
because it makes you push yourself even more.
Born in Hawaii, hardly a hotbed for snow-
boarding, Hights father moved the family to the
mountains of Lake Tahoe when she was a kid.
Shes been constantly pushing the eld since
bursting on the scene, landing a 900 2 1/2 full
rotations in a competition at just 13.
Snowboarding was just our familys sport,
she said. Once we started, we just never
stopped.
Hight has had plenty of unique experiences on
a snowboard, including this: Gliding down a vol-
cano.
Thats right, a volcano.
A few years ago, she coasted down the side of
Mauna Kea, which is on the island of Hawaii and
has an elevation around 13,800 feet.
It was really cool, she said.
Almost as cool as this: Landing her new trick
a few times in practice. Obviously, she had to
build up to it. The trampoline helped, as did the
foam pit and jumping into an air bag, with each
stage giving her more condence.
I didnt go out and just throw it. You have to
be safe about these types of things, she said.
Then, she attempted it for real. Not in some
secretive place, either, but in Mammoth Lakes,
Calif., at a training camp.
Thats a little bit different from White. Before
the Vancouver Games, the snowboard icon
trained in seclusion on a halfpipe built for him in
the back country of Colorado. White perfected
his daring Double McTwist 1260 in secret,
before unveiling it for the world to see, ultimate-
ly leading to an Olympic gold medal.

Sacramento mayor tells
Seattle dont celebrate too early
SACRAMENTO Sacramento Mayor Kevin
Johnson had a stern warning for Seattle
SuperSonics fans who are excited about the
prospect of the NBA returning to the Puget Sound
next season.
Dont celebrate too early, he said.
In front of a cheering City Hall crowd lled with
fans and public ofcials Tuesday, Johnson intro-
duced the rst part of his four-step plan to keep the
Sacramento Kings in Californias capital city.
The three-time NBA All-Star guard turned
mayor said he has secured 20 investors who have
pledged at least $1 million each to be part of a
local group to buy the franchise. Johnson said the
major partners he hopes will anchor the last-ditch
deal to keep the Kings from moving to Seattle will
be revealed as soon as this week.
A person familiar with the negotiations told the
Associated Press that billionaire Ron Burkle and
24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov are in
serious talks to collaborate on Sacramentos bid,
which would include a plan for a new downtown
arena.
Sports brief
SPORTS 14
By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA Former Oakland coach Bill
Callahan has denied allegations made by two
of his former players that he sabotaged the
Raiders in their Super Bowl loss to Tampa
Bay 10 years ago.
Former Raiders
receivers Tim Brown and
Jerry Rice both said in
recent interviews they
believe Callahan under-
mined his own team in the
Super Bowl in 2003
because of his close
friendship with Tampa
Bay coach Jon Gruden by
altering the game plan less
than two days before Oaklands 48-21 loss.
While I fully understand a competitive
professional football players disappointment
when a games outcome doesnt go his teams
way, I am shocked, saddened and outraged by
Tim Browns allegations and Jerry Rices sup-
port of those allegations made through various
media outlets over the last 24 hours, Callahan
said Tuesday in a statement. To leave no
doubt, I categorically and unequivocally deny
the sum and substance of their allegations.
The hubbub over a game played a decade
ago began Monday when Brown said on
Sirius XM Radio that he believed Callahan
altered the game plan because of his close ties
to Gruden, the former Raiders coach who
hired Callahan, and because Callahan hated
the Raiders.
We all called it sabotage, because Callahan
and Gruden was good friends, and Callahan
had a big problem with the Raiders, hated the
Raiders, and only came because Gruden made
him come, Brown said.
While many of Browns teammates, includ-
ing quarterback Rich Gannon, came to
Callahans defense on radio and Twitter on
Tuesday, Rice sided with Brown that
Callahans decision to shift the game plan
from a run-oriented attack to a pass-heavy
offense after a week of practice was done to
hurt the team.
I was very surprised that he waited till the
last second and I think a lot of the players they
were surprised also so in a way maybe
because he didnt like the Raiders he decided
Hey look maybe we should sabotage just a
little bit and let Jon Gruden go out and win
this one, Rice told ESPN.
Both Rice and Brown also said the decision
to alter the plan less than two days before the
game might have contributed to starting cen-
ter Barret Robbins leaving the team that
Friday night to go party in Tijuana. Robbins
missed a team meeting and walkthrough and
was suspended for the game. He was hospital-
ized and diagnosed as bipolar.
Former Raiders offensive lineman Frank
Middleton said in a phone interview that he
didnt believe Callahans change in game plan
contributed to Robbins problems or that
Callahan purposely lost the game even if there
were bad feelings between the coach and
players.
Callahan hated us, Middleton said. He
didnt want to see a lot of us succeed because
of who we were. I do believe Callahan had
bad feelings against us. But to say he threw
the game, I cant say that.
Middleton acknowledged that the plan the
team used in the game was different than what
was practiced but said he didnt know if that
was because Robbins had left the team and the
Raiders were forced to use backup center
Adam Treu.
The Raiders threw a then club-record 619
passes in the 2002 season but originally planned
to run the ball more in the Super Bowl to take
advantage of Tampa Bays undersized defensive
front. But Oakland fell behind early in the game
and had 49 pass plays and a season-low 11 runs.
Gannon threw ve interceptions, including
three returned for touchdowns, in the lopsided
loss.
Callahan, currently the offensive line coach
for the Dallas Cowboys, said he tried to win the
game and suggestions to the contrary were
ludicrous and defamatory.
Any suggestion that I would undermine the
integrity of the sport that I love and dedicated
my life to, or dishonor the commitment I made
to our players, coaches and fans is at out
wrong, he said. I think it would be in the best
interests of all, including the game America
loves, that these allegations be retracted
immediately.
Callahan denies allegations of Super Bowl sabotage
Tim Brown
MELBOURNE, Australia Serena
Williams dominating run at the majors is
over. American teenager Sloane Stephens is
headed to the seminals of the Australian
Open.
Williams injured her back in the second set,
hampering her serve, and the 19-year-old
Stephens kept her composure in a 3-6, 7-5, 6-
4 victory on Wednesday.
It was the rst loss since Aug. 17 for the 15-
time Grand Slam winner, ending a run of 20
consecutive wins. She hadnt lost a match at a
Grand Slam tournament since the French
Open, where the rst-round exit sparked a
resurgence in the second half of 2012 that
included titles at Wimbledon, the London
Olympics, the U.S. Open and the WTA
Championship.
After winning her rst Grand Slam quarter-
nal, Stephens next plays defending champi-
on Victoria Azarenka.
With her most famous fan sitting in the
crowd wearing a shirt reminding her to keep
calm, top-ranked Azarenka overcame some
early jitters to beat Svetlana Kuznetsova 7-5,
6-1 in the earlier quarternal match on Rod
Laver Arena.
After dropping serve in a long fourth game
which went to deuce 10 times, Azarenka
recovered to dominate the rest of the match
against Kuznetsova, a two-time major winner
who was oating dangerously in the draw
with a No. 75 ranking as she recovers from a
knee injury.
Azarenkas American rapper friend,
Redfoo, returned from a concert in Malaysia
to attend Wednesdays quarternal match.
Wearing a red sleeveless T-shirt that read
Keep Calm and Bring Out the Bottles, the
name of his next single, Redfoo stood,
clapped and yelled Come on, Vika! during
the tight rst set.
Asked if it helped to have her No. 1 fan
wearing a keep calm logo, Azarenka said I
was looking more at the part that says Bring
out the bottles.
Of her game, she added, Im just glad I
could produce my good tennis when it was
needed.
Williams loss was a boost for Azarenka,
who lost all ve head-to-heads against the
American in 2012 and is 1-11 in their career
meetings.
In the mens quarternals, 17-time major
winner Roger Federer was playing No. 7 Jo-
Wilfried Tsonga in a night match and U.S.
Open champion Andy Murray was to meet
Jeremy Chardy of France.
Novak Djokovic is already through to the
seminals after his 6-1, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 win over
fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych on Tuesday
night.
The 2-hour, 31-minute victory took exactly
half the time of his ve-set, fourth-round win
against Stanislas Wawrinka.
It was a great performance. Djokovic
said.
Williams loses in quarters, Azarenka into semis

mouth of what its like not to get to the state
championship.
Talks of making serious noise at the state
level arent far-fetched if you consider the tal-
ent returning to don a CSM uniform in 2013.
First and foremost is the presence of former
Capuchino superstar and Central Coast
Section champion Michele Pilster, who had a
breakout rst year for the Bulldogs going 29-
5 from the circle with a 1.43 ERA. San Mateo
also returns the second-best pitcher in the con-
ference with former Notre Dame-Belmont
Amelia Shales and her 1.73 ERA supporting
Pilster and a staff that posted a 1.68 team ERA
last season.
Doing the same thing I did last year,
Pilster said when asked how she will go about
duplicating such a fantastic statistical season.
Just practice and get all my pitches to work.
Communicate with coach and my catcher on
what I want to do.
Her battery mate is Jamie Navarro, a former
Mustang teammate and arguably CSMs best
offensive weapon in 2013. Navarros average
was a powerful .414 (19 extra-base hits, 36
RBIs, 17 stolen bases) and itll probably
anchor the middle of the Bulldog lineup.
Our lineup should be strong. Should be
strong, Borg said. I always use that because
you never what youre going to get.
Borg jokingly acknowledged the actual
lineup isnt set in stone just yet. But no one
can argue with the luxury of players she has at
her disposal.
Expect Jenn Davidson (Carlmont) and her
.446 average to hover somewhere near the top
of the lineup along with Mikayla Conlin
(.361, 36 RBIs) and Kaylin Stewart (.315, 14
stolen bases).
Stewart will play a huge role on defense,
moving over from second base to shortstop.
Her old spot will be occupied by Talisa Fiame
(Terra Nova) who has proven a pleasant sur-
prise in fall ball for the Bulldogs. Selina
Rodriguez (El Camino, 31 RBIs) returns to
play third base and her role in the lineup
most likely somewhere in the middle of it
will be huge according to Borg.
Everything is on the sophomores shoul-
ders, Borg said. For the sophomores, every
day you have to be clutch. You have to come
through and really understand what this is
about. Its not, Well get it tomorrow. It has
to get done today. And were going to get this
done today.
Key newcomers for the Bulldogs include
another Mustang in Kelly McDaid who will
most likely man centerfield and former
Burlingame Panther Natalie Saucedo, one of
the Peninsula Athletic Leagues most com-
plete hitters the past couple of seasons.
No doubt CSMs roster is stacked. But Borg
acknowledged the biggest task for the
Bulldogs this year, if theyre going to repeat as
conference champions and make noise in the
playoffs, is mentally playing with the chip on
their shoulders that typied the College of San
Mateo teams that had yet to win an outright
conference title.
Thats been the biggest challenge, as far as
coaching, weve never been here, Borg said.
And its on us to make sure were motivating
our athletes to stay hungry and to keep that
re lit and to understand that this doesnt
always come around. This is something spe-
cial. But that proverbial chip thats always on
my shoulder is a lot bigger this year.
Now that chip is really, Hey, were going
to win a conference championship. Thats the
ultimate goal. Thats number one. And now
hopefully, after we get past that, how do we
get past that super regional round? How do we
get over that hump? Because we always get to
the top, but we can never get over it. And
thats really what its all about. When you are
the defending champions, you probably have
a bigger target on your back than you did the
year before. And, we just have to understand
that people are probably going to play their
best game against us. And we cant falter in
any which way.

compete, Navarrete said. And you saw on
that play (the winning goal), she made it hap-
pen on just sheer hustle. And she was able to
get it to [Hollands] feet. And Lauren is very
good turning in the box and we knew if we
could get her two or three possessions like
that she would get it (a goal).
It was really nerve-wrecking in the begin-
ning, Negrete said. We had to push our-
selves to do our best and win. I wanted to win
this game really bad. It was really important.
Negretes hustle run down the left side drew
three defender toward the outside edge of the
penalty box. On No. 7s cutback, she sent a
low cross over to Holland who received the
ball, twice-touched it to her right foot and
then poked a shot past the Carlmont keeper
for the 2-1 advantage in the 54th minute.
The goal was much-deserved for a
Woodside team who controlled the entire rst
half but surrendered a 35-yard marvel shot by
Melissa Wood with seconds left in the period
that equalized things at 1-1.
Woodside was a better team, by far, in the
rst half, said Carlmont coach Tina Doss.
They dominated us. And I needed my team to
come out hard and respond at the start of the
second half and they didnt. The last half hour,
they decided to come alive and thats not,
especially against a quality team and the qual-
ity players they have, its not good enough.
The Wildcats opened the scoring in the 11th
minute when Holland fed Gianna Rosati on a
corner kick to the far post that the big center-
back headed into the net for the 1-0 score.
Aside from Woods score late in the half,
only Kayla Fong managed to get a shot on
goal for the Scots and while Carlmont did its
best to try and equalize late in the game, Doss
felt the team lacked offensive build-up.
We played defense today and we just cant
play defense, Doss said. We have to attack
and we didnt. We werent attacking. We were
hanging back and waiting for them to come at
us. And, yes, weve always been a team that
plays solid defense, but weve also been a
team that takes risks and attacks and we did-
nt today.
I think the rivalry was in our head,
Stafford said, alluding to a couple of intense
battles last season one of which saw the Scots
win a game in the nal seconds of action. We
knew we had to work hard to control the game
in order to win because we knew Carlmont is
great team. They have great athletes and we
do too. So we had to prove to ourselves and to
them that we can beat them.
SOCCER
It means a lot for all the guys to have an
opportunity to be a part of that, coach John
Harbaugh said. To be able to be involved with
that as a leader is a huge thing. It makes you feel
really good, and now you try to make the most of
it.
Birk endured 11 fruitless years in Minnesota,
reaching the playoffs ve times without a confer-
ence title. Then, after joining the Ravens as a free
agent in 2009, he was part of three more playoff
runs that ended short of the Super Bowl.
Now, Birk is poised to be part of the NFLs
biggest game.
Its great, obviously, he said. Thats the goal.
Thats your dream. Thats why you play.
Maybe Birk deserved it, after everything he
went through over his rst 14 years. But Birk
exudes no such feeling of entitlement.
Nobody deserves it more than anybody else. It
doesnt matter how long you play, he said. To
be doing it with this team and just, I think, the
closeness of this team and kind of the journey that
we have been through my four years here
every year getting close and getting close to
nally break through, its pretty special.
Reed, 34, has earned nine Pro Bowl invitations
in 11 years with Baltimore and has long been rec-
ognized as one of the nest free safeties in the
game. But he never got into the Super Bowl until
now, and to make it even sweeter, his rst appear-
ance will be in his home state of Louisiana.
Its been a long time coming, but it takes
time, Reed said. Weve built up to this point.
Teammate Jacoby Jones, who grew up in New
Orleans, will be making his Super Bowl debut in
his sixth season. After the Ravens beat New
England 28-13 in the AFC championship game,
Reed prepared for a trip to familiar territory with
Jones in tow.
I really dont have any words for it, Reed
said. I rushed into the locker room to call my
mom, because I know that my family has been
going through some things, so Im just thankful
to be going home and for the whole of New
Orleans to see some hometown guys. Jacoby, we
talked about it. We havent been there since
(Hurricane) Katrina. Were just grateful.
The Ravens failed to win the AFC title game in
2008 and 2012 under Harbaugh before nally
breaking through.
For everything weve been through since
coach Harbaugh got here, he had a vision of
working us a certain way and taking us through
something to build something and to create this
moment, Reed said. We believed it, but it was
just something we had to go through as men and
understand each other and understand the process
together.

Chinese New Year is the sort of new
year celebration I love.
Because unlike the Western tradition
of big blowout parties, Chinese New
Year is a time to get together with fami-
ly, to give thanks for what you have, to
retire your grudges, and to look forward
to a year of peace and happiness. In that
way, I think of it much as I do
Thanksgiving.
Its in the spirit of Chinese New Year
(which this year starts Feb. 10) that Ive
recongured one of my favorite dim sum
dishes shrimp toasts. Not familiar
with dim sum is? Think of it as Chinese
tapas, or small plates of food.
Traditionally, shrimp toasts are made of
chopped or ground shrimp seasoned
with soy sauce, sesame oil, scallions and
rice wine. This mixture then is mounded
onto little toasts and deep-fried. The
result is creamy on top, crispy on the
bottom, and richly avorful through and
through.
Like everyone else on the planet, if its
fried, I love it. In this case, though, I was
hoping to get the crunch of frying with-
out the fat.
I did a bunch of research and discov-
ered that while the toast in this dish usu-
ally is made of plain old white bread,
sometimes its swapped out for a slice of
baguette. Eureka! Since baguettes
become wonderfully crunchy when
baked, I gured that that was how
without frying I could conjure the
crunchiness necessary for this recipe.
But then I worried that the shrimp
mixture would dry out during baking. It
needed protection, or some sort of coat-
ing. Thats when I reached for one of my
favorite stealth ingredients mayon-
naise. It makes a terric glaze. I spiked
low-fat mayo with some sesame oil and
sprinkled it with sesame seeds and, sure
enough, it did the trick. The shrimp top-
ping stayed creamy.
BAKED SESAME SHRIMP TOASTS
Start to nish: 40 minutes (20 minutes
active)
Makes 32 toasts
32 diagonally sliced 1/2-inch-thick
baguette slices
Cooking spray
1/2 pound raw shrimp, peeled and
deveined
1 large egg white
2 1/2 teaspoons sake, Chinese rice
wine or dry sherry
2 teaspoons nely grated fresh ginger
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil,
divided
Heaping 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
4-ounce can water chestnuts, drained
and nely chopped
2 scallions, nely chopped (about 1/4
cup)
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Heat the oven to 400 F.
On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange the
baguette slices in a single layer. Spritz
the bread slices on both sides with cook-
ing spray. Bake them on the ovens mid-
dle shelf for 4 minutes. Remove them
from the oven, turn over each slice, then
set aside. Reduce the oven to 350 F.
In a food processor, combine the
shrimp, egg white, sake, ginger, garlic,
hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of the sesame
oil, the salt and the sugar. Puree until
smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl
and stir in the water chestnuts and scal-
lions.
In a small bowl, stir together the may-
onnaise and remaining 1 teaspoon
sesame oil. Mound a rounded tablespoon
of the shrimp mixture on top of each
toast and spread evenly over the toast.
Brush the top of each mound with some
of the mayonnaise mixture, then sprinkle
with sesame seeds.
Bake on the ovens middle shelf for 12
to 14 minutes, or until the shrimp mix-
ture is just cooked through. Serve hot.

Artists obsession with
Twinkies spans decades
By Martin Grifth
RENO, Nev. Long before Hostess Brands plan to shut
down made Twinkies the rage, Nancy Peppin found something
special about the cream-lled snack cakes.
No, she doesnt have a sweet tooth for them.
But she has featured Twinkies in hundreds of pieces of
quirky, satirical artwork because of an obsession with what she
calls the ultimate American food icon.
The prolic Reno artist says she was rst inuenced to focus
on Twinkies in 1975 by Andy Warhol, who demonstrated that
even a Campbells soup can could be an object of art.
He showed you a new way of looking at a familiar object,
said Peppin, who has sold and exhibited her artwork. Thats
what Im doing with Twinkies. Im having people look at
Twinkies in a brand new way and in an entertaining way.
Shortly after Hostess Brands Inc. announced plans to go out
of business last year, Peppin was among those who joined the
rush to stores to ll shopping carts with boxes of the spongy
cakes.
But unlike others, she didnt buy 12 boxes with 10 Twinkies
each to turn a prot on eBay or Craigslist.
See TWINKIES, Page 18

FOOD/LOCAL/NATION
I needed art supplies, said Peppin, who
uses Twinkies and their packaging to create
some of her pieces. She also features render-
ings of the snack cakes in watercolor paint-
ings, mixed media, prints and artwork.
Her works include her Twinkies in history
series, which portrays how scientists such as
John James Audubon, Charles Darwin and
Leonardo da Vinci would have sketched and
written about Twinkies in journals or books.
Peppin, an Oakland native who earned a
bachelors degree in anthropology from the
University of California, Berkeley, in 1966,
conducted extensive research to make the
series seem as authentic as possible.
Her Audubon series on the North
American Twinkie (twinkopus hostus)
includes illustrations of three important sub-
species Cream-bellied Twinkie,
Strawberry-throated Twinkie, Golden-backed
Twinkie as well as writings describing the
birds and explaining their migration pat-
terns.
Twinkies radiate out from the spring St.
Louis breeding area to the summer nesting
habitats throughout the world. Populations are
heaviest in the North American 7-11 meridi-
an, she wrote. St. Louis and 7-Eleven stores
both share a long history with Hostess and its
brands.
She updated the Audubon series after
Hostess shut down operations in November:
It went from being the most popular snack
cake in the world to sudden extinction due to
consumption by raptors capitalist vultures
(cathartes wallstreetidae).
Her painting titled The Last Snack is a
takeoff of da Vincis The Last Supper fea-
turing Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos and
other Hostess products at a table with the
same arrangement and background as da
Vincis classic.

economy.
I am not going to have a monthly, or every
three months conversation about whether or
not we pay our bills, Obama said at a news
conference Jan. 14.
But what was important to the White House
about the GOP proposal was that it separated
the debt ceiling from other upcoming scal
target dates and that it signaled that, at least for
now, Republicans were not going to demand a
dollar of spending cuts for every dollar of fed-
eral borrowing as Boehner long has demand-
ed.
It also appeared that Senate Democrats
would grudgingly accept the bill.
The Boehner rule of 1-for-1, its gone, said
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. So its a good
step forward, and well see what happens.
The idea driving the move by GOP leaders is
to re-sequence a series of upcoming budget
battles, taking the threat of a potentially devas-
tating government default off the table and
instead setting up a clash in March over auto-
matic across-the-board spending cuts set to
strike the Pentagon and many domestic pro-
grams. Those cuts postponed by the recent
scal cliff deal are the punishment for the
failure of a 2011 decit supercommittee to
reach an agreement.
These across-the-board cuts would pare $85
billion from this years budget after being
delayed from Jan. 1 until March 1 and reduced
by $24 billion by the recently enacted tax bill.
Defense hawks are particularly upset, saying
the Pentagon cuts would devastate military
readiness and cause havoc in defense contract-
ing. The cuts, called a sequester in
Washington-speak, were never intended to
take effect but were instead aimed at driving
the two sides to a large budget bargain in order
to avoid them.
But Republicans and Obama now appear on
a collision course over how to replace the
across-the-board cuts. Obama and his
Democratic allies insist that additional rev-
enues be part of the solution; Republicans say
further tax increases are off the table after the
10-year, $600 billion-plus increase in taxes on
wealthier earners forced upon Republicans by
Obama earlier this month.
We are not going to raise taxes on the
American people, Boehner told reporters.
We feel by moving the issue of raising the
debt ceiling behind the sequestration ... that we
reorder things in a way that Democrats will
have to work with, said Rep. John Fleming,
R-La. The cuts are the kind of cuts we want,
theyre just not in the places we want, but
theyre also not in the places that the
Democrats want. So hopefully theyll be
forced to come to the table and work with us
on a bipartisan basis to put them where they
need to be, where it has the less pain.
According to the latest calculations, which
account for the recent reduction of this years
sequester from $109 billion to $85 billion, the
Pentagon now faces a 7.3 percentage point
across-the-board cut, while domestic agency
budgets would absorb a 5.1 percent cut. The
calculations are not ofcial but were released
Tuesday by Richard Kogan, a respected budg-
et expert with the Center on Budget and Policy
Priorities think tank.
The sequester is arbitrary, but the fact is
that when the sequester goes into effect ...
it will have a pretty dramatic effect of peo-
ples attitudes here in Washington and they
may get serious about cuts to the mandato-
ry side of the spending equation, Boehner
said, referring to benefit programs like
Medicare and food stamps whose budgets
essentially run on autopilot.
GOP leaders have also promised conserva-
tives that the House will debate a budget blue-
print that projects a balanced federal budget
within a decade. For the past two years, the s-
cal plans of Budget Committee Chairman Paul
Ryan, R-Wis., have contained strict budget
cuts but have never projected balance.
In a slap at the Senate, which hasnt debated
a budget since 2009, the House debt measure
would withhold the pay for either House or
Senate members if the chamber in which they
serve fails to pass a budget plan. This no
budget, no pay idea had previously been
regarded mostly as a gimmick and had been
earlier dismissed by many lawmakers as
unconstitutional since it seems to run counter
to a provision in the Constitution that says
Congress cant change its pay until an election
has passed.
To address that problem, the measure would
deny pay until Jan. 3, 2015, if either chamber
failed to pass a budget.
Schumer said Sunday on NBCs Meet the
Press that Democrats are likely to adopt a
budget this year. Under congressional rules, a
joint House-Senate budget resolution is a non-
binding measure that sets forth an outline for
follow-up legislation but doesnt accomplish
any cuts by itself.
DEBT
is discussed. At last nights meeting, parents
wanted a common community vision for what
the district should offer and the steps needed to
achieve those goals.
At the district level there has been much
talk about restructuring and remaining scally
solvent. Talk of pending nancial challenges
has been a constant for years. ... There has
been little talk on building a common vision
for the district. There has been littler agree-
ment on long-term strategic planning, the
statement reads.
Parents asked for a vision for the district
as well as a comprehensive plan to achieve it
that would be posted online before the Feb.
13 board meeting and have action items that
can go before the board Feb. 28.
Trustees generally agreed long-term plan-
ning would be a good move. However, how to
proceed with the decit, whether to include
consolidating schools as a tool or not, remains
unclear.
Trustee Skip Henderson was still vocally
against the conversation noting it would most
likely not be done well, given the districts his-
tory.
Trustee Kevin Martinez said there could be
educational benets from closing a school
allowing for larger enrollment at other schools.
As a result, fewer teachers would have stu-
dents from multiple grade levels. Currently,
about one-third of the districts classes have
students from a combination of grades.
Sanchez agreed that the issues are not just
about money. Trustee Jim Prescott agreed
there could be educational benets to consoli-
dation, although he was unsure if the nancial
benets would become a reality. That aside, he
said the Crestmoor community was still heal-
ing, making it a less-than-ideal time to consid-
er closing that location.
Overall, parents suggested the district look
at re-evaluating the boundaries, cutting down
on consultant costs and working to increase
revenue.
In April, the board voted against a proposal
to close two schools El Crystal and
Crestmoor elementary schools. The conversa-
tion caused a community uproar and meeting
protests featured children speaking about the
importance of their teachers and school com-
munity. A petition with more than 900 signa-
tures was presented in opposition to the idea of
school closure. Another cause for concern was
how the talks of school closure had pro-
gressed.
It resulted in a parent-driven parcel tax
effort. Measure G, a $199 annual parcel tax on
the November ballot, failed to meet the two-
thirds threshold.
In the first interim budget update, San
Brunos plan recognized it would most likely
need to make $335,000 to $400,000 in ongo-
ing budget reductions this year along with an
additional $1.4 million in cuts in each of the
2013-14 and 2014-15 school years.
In November, a report by the Fiscal
Sustainability Task Force put out some possi-
ble options for cuts. For example, closing a
school could save $236,000; eliminating con-
tracted physical education in fourth and fth
grades would save $110,000; moving a special
education class back to the district would save
an estimated $450,000; and furloughs could
save hundreds of thousands. Raising revenue is
also an option. Most notably, the task force
report shows renting out a closed school could
generate more than $600,000 annually.
As a district, San Bruno has previously tack-
led the possibility of closing a school during
the 2006-07 school year due to a drop in
enrollment. An enrollment uptick for the fol-
lowing school year caused the district to drop
the talks.
Declining enrollment forced the closure of
two schools in the 1970s. Carl Sandburg
Elementary was closed in 1978 and was sold
for $30.5 million in 2006. The district leases
20 acres for a driving range on what was once
Engvall Middle School at Interstate 280 and
Sneath Lane to VB Golf Inc. That lease gen-
erates about $500,000 annually for the dis-
trict.

Super Bowl Sunday surely is one of the
meatiest eating days of the year. But its still
somewhat surprising the lengths some people
will go to push their game day feed over the
top. Last year, for example, some enthusiastic
carnivores went as far as to build football
arena replicas out of deli meats, cheese and
bread.
Constructing stadiums out of cold cuts may
be a great conversation starter, but its not
likely to win you many accolades from the
foodies in your life. Luckily, some recent
trends on the butchering side of things are
offering whole new ways to up your meat
game, so to speak.
Up until recently, shopping for meat at the
grocer generally meant you were limited to
just a few mainstream cuts, says meat guru
Bruce Aidells, author of last years The
Great Meat Cookbook. Part of the problem
was the standardization of the meat industry.
Butchering skills waned because so much was
handled at the industrial level.
But as consumers demanded better, more
unusual meats including locally raised
chefs needed to improvise. Many had to learn
butchering skills in order purchase and use the
sorts of meats their customers were looking
for, says Tia Harrison, chef and co-owner of
Sociale, a Northern Italian-inspired restaurant
in San Francisco.
And in order not to waste a single bit, those
chefs also began to develop and rediscover
recipes for lesser known cuts of meat, includ-
ing how to produce charcuterie.
Pretty soon restaurants were having wildly
popular snout-to-tail supper nights where
dishes made from every bit of the animal are
served. The burgeoning market for local meat
ultimately led to the art of butchering becom-
ing quite hip. And that has inuenced the
meats available even at mainstream grocers,
with most offering grass-fed and organic
meats, even some heritage breed meats.
Aidells welcomes the change as an easy
opportunity for home cooks to try new, and
better quality, cuts. And a meat-centric cele-
bration like a Super Bowl party is a ne time
to give it a go.
Perhaps start with something easy, such
as grass-fed beef. Because the animal was
raised entirely on grass, expect the meat to
be a bit pricey and leaner than grain-fed.
Similar to wine, flavors can vary widely
depending on where the animal was raised
and the quality of grass it ate, says Aidells.
If youre a meat lover, you owe it to your-
self to sample and compare grass-fed beef
from various areas, he says.
To get further into the sports theme, ask
your butcher for a baseball steak, which
gets its name from the fact that when grilled it
plumps up into a ball shape. They are cut from
the tip of the top sirloin and are about 2 to 3
inches thick. There are only two of these deli-
cious steaks from each animal, and Aidells
recommends marinating and grilling them as
you would a top round steak.
MEXICAN BEEF BRISKET
AND WINTER SQUASH CHILI
Start to nish: 3 hours 15 minutes
Servings: 12
6 dried ancho chilies
2 cups boiling water
6 ounces bacon, diced
4 cups chopped yellow onions
5 pounds rst-cut beef brisket, cut into 3-
inch chunks
Salt and ground black pepper
2 jalapeno chilies, stemmed, seeded and
chopped (optional)
6 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons chili powder
14 1/2-ounce can diced re-roasted toma-
toes with green chilies
12-ounce bottle Mexican beer, plus more if
needed
1 bunch cilantro, stems and leaves separat-
ed
7-ounce can diced re-roasted green chilies
3 cups 2-inch chunks peeled and seed but-
ternut or banana squash
Finely chopped red onions (to garnish)
Peeled, seeded, and sliced avocado (to gar-
nish)
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese (to garnish)
Warm corn or our tortillas
Tear apart the dried ancho chilies, then dis-
card the seeds and stems. Place the torn chilies
in a small bowl. Pour the boiling water over
them, then soak until soft, at least 30 minutes,
or up to several hours.
When ready to proceed, heat the oven to 325
F.
In a large Dutch oven over medium heat,
saute the bacon until it begins to brown. Add
the onions and cook, covered, for 5 minutes.
Season the beef with salt and pepper.
Remove the pot with the onions and bacon
from the heat and stir in the beef.
Place the soaked chilies and about 1/2 cup of
the soaking liquid in a blender (save the
remaining liquid to add to the pot later, if
needed). Add the jalapenos (if using), garlic,
cumin seeds, oregano, coriander, chili powder,
and 2 teaspoons of salt. Blend to form a puree,
then add to the pot along with the diced toma-
toes, beer, cilantro stems and green chilies.
Stir well, cover, place in the oven, and bake
for 2 hours. If the chili becomes too dry during
cooking, add some of the reserved chili-soak-
ing liquid or more beer. The meat is done
when it is fork tender. If the meat is not yet
fork tender, return the covered pot to the oven
and check it every 20 to 30 minutes. Once the
meat is tender, stir in the squash and bake for
20 minutes more, or until the squash is tender.
Remove the pot from the oven. Use a spoon
to skim off any fat on the surface of the chili.
Season with salt and pepper. Divide between
serving bowls with the cilantro leaves, red
onions, avocado, cheese and tortillas on the
side.
Butchering trends bring fresh, meaty opportunities
For this years Super Bowl, consider trying this recipe from Aidells for Mexican beef brisket
and winter squash chili.It takes a cut usually known for pot-roasting or barbecue and transforms
it into a meaty, chunky chili.

They Run tells the story of residents
preparing for the threat of Nazi invasion.
While that doesnt sound like a setup for
a comedy, the two-hour show is a farce
featuring mistaken identity, vicars, pos-
sible affairs and lots of meddling neigh-
bors.
Its just a lot of fun, said director
Ron Lopez Jr.
Lopez, who was approached to do the
show while working on The Producers
last year, wasnt familiar with it at rst.
But he enjoyed the story, the humor and
gags so Lopez
agreed.
Work began just
after Thanksgiving
with a break for the
holidays a lit-
tle non-tra-
ditional for
a show. But
the cast
came back
k n o w i n g
most their
lines and
ready to
work, Lopez
said.
Set in the cti-
tious village of
Me r t o n - c u m-
Middlewick, lead
c h a r a c t e r
Penelope Toop,
played by Maureen
ONeill of Redwood
City, is a former
actress and wife of the local vicar, the
Rev. Lionel Toop, played by Taylor
Smith of Redwood City. The simple
marriage becomes complicated when
ghts are staged, people come to town
and try to avoid army regulations, and
gossip quickly spreads the misinforma-
tion. Perhaps the real challenge is to the
Cockney maid Miss Skillon, played by
Helen Laroche of Palo Alto, who often
ends up injured in the high jinks.
Philip Kings See How They Run
was rst staged at the Peterborough Rep
in 1944 prior to a British tour as an
entertainment for the troops during
World War II. The play received its rst
American production at
Actors Theatre in
Plainfield, N.J., in
1949 and
w a s
adapt-
ed for the screen in 1955. Although best
known for See How They Run, King, a
British playwright who often performed
on stage in his own works, wrote close to
a dozen plays and co-wrote many more
during his lifetime.
See How They Run will have per-
formances Jan. 25 through Feb. 10 at
Hillbarn Theatre, 1285 E. Hillsdale
Blvd., Foster City. Tickets are $23 to $38
for adults and seniors. Students 17 and
under should call 349-6411. For more

PLAY
ones and how leaf vacuums differentiate
from blowers.
The council held a special study ses-
sion in Central Park that was attended by
about 30 people with representatives
from manufacturer Stihl on hand.
Decibel levels were a big topic for
those who say the devices are too noisy
but much of yesterdays discussion
focused on health concerns.
Leaf vacuums have been proposed as
an alternative for gardeners to use rather
than blowers, however, the vacuums
demonstrated yesterday filled the air
with a ne dust despite the fact they
were catching the leaves in bags.
The battery-powered devices produce
less toxic emissions but still kicked up
plenty of dust in yesterdays demonstra-
tion.
My main concern is health, said
Rick Bonilla, who is on the citys
Planning Commission. The exhaust and
dust and ne particulates hurt people
with asthma.
Airborne bacteria is also a big health
concern, Bonilla said.
City gardeners told the council yester-
day that using rakes and brooms to clean
up Central Park would take twice the
time a leaf blower would.
Labor costs might double with a rake
and broom, said Glendale Village neigh-
borhood resident John Ebneter, but leaf
blowers create far more health hazards.
Ebneter supports a full leaf blower
ban.
Others, though, said banning the
devices will drive the cost of gardening
up and threaten jobs in the process.
Councilman Brandt Grotte has been
pushing for an outright ban of the
devices for months and has gained some
support from Mayor David Lim and
Councilwoman Maureen Freschet in his
quest.
Councilman Jack Matthews and
Deputy Mayor Robert Ross have previ-
ously requested more data on the health
risks of the devices and other informa-
tion before making their decisions on a
ban.
At a previous study session, the coun-
cil had three options to consider: an out-
right ban; a certication program, which
would limit gas-powered leaf blower
noise levels to 65 decibels or less; or
improved enforcement of the current
leaf blower ordinance.
All three options would cost the city
an additional $160,000 to $200,000 a
year to implement with the creation of
new jobs, according to city staff.
City staff suggested that nes and fees
could help offset the cost of the pro-
grams.
A long list of gardeners and landscap-
ers, however, have said a ban would hurt
their businesses and put some of them
out of work.
Currently, leaf blowers are allowed to
be used weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Use
is prohibited on Sundays and major hol-
idays.
The City Council adopted a leaf blow-
er ordinance in 1997 and will likely
amend the ordinance later this year.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 2013
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You wont have to be
told that duties that require your immediate attention
should be given top priority. Sweeping them under
the rug wouldnt give you any peace.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A convivial
atmosphere will help immensely if there is some
kind of business matter that needs to be discussed
with others. Find a pleasant, social setting in which
to talk things out.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Because youre usually
such an upbeat person, merely going along with
things could make you look as if youre down in the
dumps. You wont be -- youll just be in a quiet mood.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Listen attentively to
someone who always has something new to share.
If you retain what you hear, chances are youll later
fnd some effective ways to put it to use.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Itll pay to focus
on endeavors that could enhance your material
security. There are likely to be several constructive
steps you can take if youre willing to take action.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Its OK to spend some
time on the advancement of one of your primary
interests, even if you have to break plans with another.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The best way to achieve a
critical objective is to keep a low profle. You need to
pursue your intentions as unobtrusively as possible.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Because friends will
sense your concern for them is genuine, theyll
appreciate your efforts on their behalf. Sincerity is
the key to a harmonious relationship.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- An objective that you
couldnt achieve in the past looks like it can be
attained, mostly because this time youre likely to be
more fexible and tenacious in your efforts.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Youre likely to fnd
out that some knowledge you recently acquired can
beneft a close friend as much as it does you. Be
sure to share it openly and honestly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your instincts
regarding a commercial matter are likely to be a
shade sharper than usual. Follow your impulses, but
be sure to use plenty of logic as well.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Try to avoid an
acquaintance who always takes it upon him or herself
to make decisions for everybody. Youre not likely to
have too much patience for this kind of behavior.
