The Burlingame Post Ofce is included in the citys inventory of
historical properties as part of its 2010 downtown specic plan.
Burlingame residents would
voluntarily receive historic
designations, tax assistance
City works on
ordinance for
preservation
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Preserving historical buildings in Burlingame could mean
tax incentives and restoration of various properties if an
ordinance gets through the City Council.
City staff has been working on the potential ordinance for
a historic resource program that lets people apply to make a
place, within its downtown specic plan, a historic build-
ing over the last few months. Back in March 2013, the City
Council directed staff to work on such an ordinance. For
now, the councilmembers would like to keep a pilot pro-
gram within the downtown area. There are currently 23
potentially historic properties in the citys downtown
inventory, including the Burlingame train station, the G.W.
State probes spike
in coastal radiation
Increase assumed natural, not nuclear
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
State health experts are investigating a four-fold spike in
radiation readings at Pacica State Beach but local health
ofcials believe the increase is due to natural minerals like
potassium rather than fallout from the Fukushima nuclear
plant disaster.

With the growing popularity of elec-
tronic cigarettes, South San Francisco
may explore the implications of
allowing the sales of these devices
within the city given potential health
risks.
In recent months, the citys plan-
ning division has approved business
license applications for two e-ciga-
rette retailers. The council will vote
tonight on whether to put a 45-day
moratorium on the establishment of e-
cigarette lounges, hookah bars and
smoking lounges, fearing e-cigarettes
could be as harmful as cigarettes. It
would also apply to retailers that
devote more than 15 percent of their
total oor area, or more than a 2-by-4-
foot area of shelf space, to e-cigarette
sales, and wouldnt apply to retailers
that sell e-cigarettes as a smaller com-
ponent of their business. In the mean-
time, staff would review and study
potential zoning amendments to limit
e-cigarette sales.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Maverix Biomics, a San Mateo-based
software company that does sequencing
genomic data analysis, announced yester-
day it closed a $6 million Series Afunding
round.
The financing was led by the venture
capital firm Asset Management Ventures
and two prominent Silicon Valley infor-
mation technology investors, Andreas
Bechtolsheim and Andrew Yang.
Maverixs pioneering flagship offer-
ing, the Maverix Analytic Platform, sim-
plifies complex big data analytics for life
science researchers, integrating context-
based data exploration, interactive visual-
ization, secure data management and
affordable long-term storage in an easy-
to-use cloud-based solution.
Maverix is a great example of a portfo-
lio company where Asset Management can
offer its expertise in both life sciences and
information technology, Louis G. Lange,
general partner at Asset Management
Ventures, said in a press release. We have
been consistently impressed with the
companys leadership, scientific and soft-
ware development expertise. As high-
throughput sequencing becomes a main-
stream research and clinical technology,
bioinformatics must move from the com-
puter room directly into the hands of life
scientists, creating a hundred-fold increase
in potential customers that Maverix is
uniquely poised to serve.
Researchers using the Maverix platform
experience a simple, collaborative user
environment that allows them to upload
their own data, initiate their own analyses
and put their results in context with other
public and private data sources, according
to the release.
Leveraging the power of open source
analytic tools that previously have been
available only to bioinformatics experts,
researchers are able to immediately per-
form analyses with reliable, scientifically
recommended configurations, as validated
and cited in peer-reviewed journal publica-
tions. Visualization is provided through a
variety of integrated graphical tools,
including the University of California at
Santa Cruz Genome Browser, the worlds
most widely used genome browser, accord-
ing to the release.

SACRAMENTO Catholic bishops
called for divine intervention Tuesday as
California endures what appears to be its
third straight dry winter.
The California Conference of Catholic
Bishops asked people of all faiths to join
in prayers for rain as reservoirs in the state
dipped to historic lows after one of the dri-
est calendar years on record.
Some cities already are restricting water
use, while prospects for another dry sum-
mer have raised alarm about agriculture and
wildres.
The rst Sierra Nevada snow survey of the
winter last week found the water content in
the statewide snowpack to be just 20 per-
cent of average for this time of year.
Without relief, state water managers said
they will be able to deliver just 5 percent of
the water sought by agencies that supply
more than 25 million Californians and
nearly a million acres of irrigated farmland.
Sacramento Bishop Jaime Soto, presi-
dent of the bishops conference, suggested
a prayer for God to open the heavens and
let His mercy rain down upon our elds and
mountains.
Our reliance on water reveals how much
we are part of Creation and Creation is a
part of us, Soto said in a news release that
included four other suggested prayers for
relief and for the wellbeing of those most
at risk from a water shortage. The bishops
said a drought, if it comes, will affect peo-
ples livelihoods, health and quality of
life.

MONTEREY PARK Embattled Los
Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca announced
his retirement Tuesday amid federal investi-
gations that have targeted abuses in his jails
and discrimination against minorities in one
of the communities his deputies patrol.
Baca said he would step down at the end of
the month and wouldnt seek re-election
because he was concerned about the nega-
tive perception the upcoming campaign
would create concerning the nations largest
sheriffs department.
I didnt want to have to enter a campaign
that would be full of negative, contentious
politicking, said Baca, 71, in an emotional
statement outside sheriffs headquarters.
Baca spent 48 years in the Sheriffs
Department and became the rst Hispanic-
American to hold the top post. He liked talk-
ing about his job, travel-
ing the world and even
went on uniformed patrol a
few years ago to try and
save the department from
paying overtime.
He said it was time to
step aside and give some-
one else a chance.
I dont see myself as
the future, I see myself as
part of the past, he said.
Last month, 18 current and former sheriffs
deputies were indicted for alleged crimes that
included beating inmates and jail visitors,
falsifying reports, and trying to obstruct an
FBI probe of the nations largest jail system.
Federal prosecutors said the charges
showed that some sheriffs employees
thought they were above the law and exhibit-
ed behavior that had become institutional-
ized.

WASHINGTON The Hubble
Space Telescope has peered back
to a chaotic time 13.2 billion
years ago when never-before-seen
galaxies were tiny, bright blue and
full of stars bursting to life all
over the place.
Thanks to some complex
physics tricks, NASAs aging tele-
scope is just starting to see the
universe at its infancy in living
color and detail.
Images released by NASA on
Tuesday show galaxies that are 20
times fainter than those pictured
before. They are from a new cam-
paign to have the 23-year-old
Hubble gaze much earlier and far-
ther away than it was designed to
see.
I like to call it cosmic dawn,
Hubble astronomer Jennifer Lotz
said at the American Astronomical
Society convention in
Washington. Its when the lights
are coming on.
It was a time when star forma-
tion was ramping up, and it was far
more hectic than now.
Imagine if you went back 500
million years after the Big Bang
and looked around in the sky,
astronomer Garth Illingworth of
the University of California Santa
Cruz said. Galaxies are closer.
Theyre smaller. Theyre bright
blue and theyre
everywhere...They are probably
blobby, small, nothing like our
Milky Way.

President Barack Obama at the
White House, shortly after six
Republicans sided with
Democrats on a 60-37 Senate vote
to keep the measure alive.
Even so, the fate of the three-
month reinstatement remained
uncertain in an atmosphere of
intense partisanship at the dawn
of an election year.
The two parties have made it
clear they intend to battle for the
support of millions of voters who
have suffered economically
through the worst recession in
decades and the slow, plodding
recovery that has followed.
The often-cited phrase is
income disparity the gap
between the rich and the econom-
ically squeezed. Democrats are
expected to follow the effort on
jobless benefits with another
pocketbook measure, a proposal
to increase the federal minimum
wage.
The maneuvering on Tuesday
was intense. Senate Republican
leader Mitch McConnell pro-
posed paying for the renewal of
federal jobless benefits by delay-
ing a requirement for millions of
Americans to purchase coverage
under Obamacare an attempt
to force Democrats to take a pub-
lic stand on that highly contro-
versial issue.
Democratic leader Harry Reid of
Nevada, who generally seeks to
shield his rank and file from
politically painful votes, deemed
McConnells proposal a non-
starter.
At the same time, Reid and
White House officials suggested
they would be receptive to cuts
elsewhere in the federal budget to
offset the cost of a yearlong
renewal of the program, if
Republicans would first agree to
turn the benefits back on for three
months without preconditions.
Reid also said hed be willing to
consider allowing votes on pro-
posed changes, but avoided a flat
commitment on a demand
Republicans said was essential.

San Carlos man
killed in weekend crash
A man who was killed in a crash early
Sunday on Interstate 280 near Los Altos
Hills that injured four other people has been
identied by the Santa Clara County medical
examiners office as 21-year-old Julian
Thomas, of San Carlos.
The crash happened shortly after 4 a.m.
Sunday on northbound I-280 near Page Mill
Road.
Thomas was driving north on I-280 in a
1999 BMWwith three passengers when the
car somehow collided with a 2012 Nissan
and struck a tree, according to the California
Highway Patrol.
The BMWwas cut in half, and Thomas was
ejected even though he was wearing a seat
belt, CHP ofcials said. He was pronounced
dead at the scene.
The Nissan overturned and landed with
part of its roof on top of the concrete center
median wall but the driver was able to get
himself out of the car, according the CHP.
He and the three passengers in the BMW
were taken to Stanford Hospital.
The Nissans driver, Johnson Chao, 46,
of Redwood City, and BMW passengers
Matthew Navarra, 21, of San Carlos, and
Ashley Farr, 21, of Sacramento, all suffered
minor injuries, CHP investigators said.
The third passenger in the BMW, Megan
Smith, 19, of San Francisco, had moderate
injuries, according to the CHP.
The crash remains under investigation.

San Mateo polices crime
reduction unit arrests burglar
An East Palo Alto man is in jail for numer-
ous theft-related charges after a Predictive
Policing operation by the San Mateo Police
Departments Crime Reduction Unit Sunday,
Jan. 5, according to police.
The man, Kevin Kipler, 25, was arrested
after ofcers spotted him suspiciously drive
around different areas, exit his car and peer
into windows of several parked vehicles.
His target was the area of Seal Point Park off
J. Hart Clinton Drive, an area with recent
vehicle burglaries, according to police.
During an enforcement stop, officers
found items related to recent vehicle thefts
in San Mateo and further suspect him of res-
idential burglary and fraudulent use of an
access card. Follow-up at his residence iden-
tified property from more than a dozen
thefts from vehicles all over the Bay Area,
according to police.
Ofcers used Predictive Policing practices
which helps officers study and identify
crime trends and work with other resources
and agencies to locate high-potential areas
for criminal activity based on trends,
according to police.
Woman, 48, died of
H1N1 flu complications
A48-year-old woman who died earlier this
week is Contra Costa Countys rst u death
of the season, county health ofcials said
Tuesday.
Contra Costa Health Services spokes-
woman Kate Fowlie said the woman had
underlying health conditions in addition to
being infected with the H1N1 virus.
The woman, whose name is not being
released, was one of 17 people under 65
years old in Contra Costa County who have
been hospitalized with the virus this u sea-
son, according to Fowlie.
The H1N1 virus sometimes called
swine u surfaced in the United States in
2009, causing the rst global pandemic in
more than 40 years and resulting in a num-
ber of hospitalizations and deaths, accord-
ing to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
The public is advised to get yearly u vac-
cinations to protect against H1N1 as well as
other types of u viruses.

WASHINGTON Janet Yellen will
take the helm of a Federal Reserve fac-
ing a signicantly different economic
landscape from the one that dominated
Ben Bernankes tenure as chairman,
confronting her with different decisions
as well.
Bernankes eight years leading the
Fed were largely consumed with the
Great Recession and his efforts to cure it
by pushing down interest rates and
pumping cash into the economy. Many
economists think Yellens big chal-
lenge will be deciding how to ease off
some of those very policies, which
Bernanke took with Yellens support.
Circumstances may demand more
rapid tightening than people are expect-
ing, said Bill Cheney, chief economist
for John Hancock Financial Services,
who envisions a growing economy this
year. He contrasted that with Bernanke,
who he said had to decide when to step
on the gas pedal and how hard as the
economy recovered weakly from the
recession.
The Senate conrmed Yellen, a long-
time Fed ofcial and economist at the
University of California at Berkeley, by
a 56-26 vote Monday. Supporting her
were all 45 voting Democrats and 11
Republicans, while all opposing votes
came from the GOP. Many senators
missed the vote because frigid weather
canceled numerous airline ights.
Yellen begins her four-year term Feb.
1, when Bernanke steps down. She has
been Fed vice chair since 2010.
Nominated by President Barack
Obama to the top job in October, Yellen
comes to the post after a career in which
she has focused in part on unemploy-
ment and its causes. Obama and con-
gressional Democrats lauded her con-
cerns for workers Monday.
In a written statement, Obama said
Yellens approval means the American
people will have a erce champion who
understands that the ultimate goal of
economic and nancial policymaking is
to improve the lives, jobs and standard
of living of American workers and their
families.
Many Republicans were less enthusi-
astic. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa,
warned that a continuation of the Feds
easy money policies risks fueling an
economic bubble and even hyper-ina-
tion, which he said could cause real
and lasting damage to our economy.
House Financial Services Committee
Chairman Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas,
announced that he will hold hearings on
the Feds bond buying program and on
the potential unintended conse-
quences of the Volcker rule. That rule,
approved by the Fed and other agencies,
is aimed at preventing many large banks
from trading for their own prot in
hopes of preventing practices that
helped lead to the 2008 nancial melt-
down.
Yellen faces challenges
as Fed trims bond buys

WASHINGTON Funding for
implementing the new health care law
and other sticking points remain, but
negotiators reported significant
progress Tuesday on a $1.1 trillion
spending bill to fund the government
through September.
We are looking at narrowing the
differences, looking at ... how we can
compromise without capitulation on
both sides, said Senate
Appropriations Committee
Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.
After a meeting of the four principal
negotiators the top Democrats and
Republicans on the House and Senate
Appropriations committees
Mikulski was cautiously optimistic of
reaching agreement on the massive
bill later this week in hopes of a vote
next week.
Our subcommittee chairmen have
really done 90 percent of the work.
We are now at 10 percent, but this
last 10 percent, like in any negotia-
tion, is the toughest, Mikulski
said. A top aide accompanying
Mikulski back to her office told
reporters that the budgets for the
Pentagon and the Commerce,
Justice, Agriculture, Housing and
Urban Development, Veterans
Affairs and Transportation depart-
ments are virtually wrapped up.
But the two sides remain at odds
over funding to implement so-called
Obamacare and a 2010 overhaul of
nancial regulations, and theyre still
sorting through more than 130 policy
items known as riders in
Washington-speak, many of which are
backed by conservatives seeking to
derail Obama administration environ-
mental and labor regulations.
Among the differences is giving the
administration flexibility to certify
that Egypt qualies for U.S. military
aid despite a law that bans such assis-
tance after coups, said Sen. Lindsey
Graham, the top Republican on the
foreign aid panel.

Polar air brings single-digit
cold to many in East, South
By Ray Henry
ATLANTA Fountains froze over, a 200-foot Ferris
wheel in Atlanta shut down, and Southerners had to dig out
winter coats, hats and gloves they almost never have to
use.
The brutal polar air that has made the Midwest shiver over
the past few days spread to the East and the Deep South on
Tuesday, shattering records that in some cases had stood for
more than a century.
The mercury plunged into the single digits and teens from
Boston and New York to Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville
and Little Rock places where many people dont know
the rst thing about extreme cold.
I didnt think the South got this cold, said Marty
Williams, a homeless man, originally from Chicago, who
took shelter at a church in Atlanta, where it hit a record low
of 6 degrees. That was the main reason for me to come down
from up North, from the cold, to get away from all that stuff.
The morning weather map for the eastern half of the U.S.
looked like an algebra worksheet: lots of small, negative
numbers. In fact, the Midwest and the East were colder than
much of Antarctica.
The cold turned deadly for some: Authorities reported at
least 21 cold-related deaths across the country since
Sunday, including seven in Illinois, and six in Indiana. At
least ve people died after collapsing while shoveling
snow, while several victims were identied as homeless
people who either refused shelter or didnt make it to a warm
haven soon enough to save themselves from the bitter tem-
peratures.

BAGHDAD A government airstrike
killed 25 al-Qaida-linked militants in a
besieged province west of Baghdad amid
erce clashes Tuesday between Iraqi special
forces and insurgents battling for control of
the key cities of Fallujah and Ramadi, Iraqi
ofcials said.
The al-Qaida gains in the Sunni-dominat-
ed province of Anbar once bloody battle-
grounds for U.S. troops pose the most
serious challenge to Prime Minister Nouri
al-Malikis Shiite-led government since the
departure of American forces in late 2011.
Iraqi forces and fighters from govern-
ment-allied Sunni tribes have been battling
militants to try to recapture the strategic
territory, seized last week by an al-Qaida-
linked group known as the Islamic State in
Iraq and the Levant.
Iraqi military spokesman Gen.
Mohammed al-Askari said the Iraqi air force
struck an operations center for the militants
on the outskirts of Ramadi, the provincial
capital, killing 25 ghters who were holed
up inside.
He didnt give more details about how the
death toll was conrmed but cited intelli-
gence reports. It was not possible to inde-
pendently verify the militarys claim.

Farrell residence on Chapin Avenue.
After the pilot program, it would be good
to explain to other property owners [outside
of downtown] the benets of the program,
said Vice Mayor Terry Nagel.
The main incentive of the program is
that, under the Mills Act Historical Property
Contract Program, homeowners get a sub-
stantial discount on property tax if they put
together a plan for maintaining and restor-
ing their historical property. A Mills con-
tract is executed between the city and the
property owner for a revolving 10-year
term. Citizens would work with the
Community Development Department
before bringing the proposal to the
Planning Commission for approval.
Owners cant use the Mills Act if their city
doesnt have a historic resource program.
Beyond the pilot program, Mayor
Michael Brownrigg and Nagel are voicing
support for expanding the preservation
program beyond the downtown district so
others might take advantage of the Mills
Act. However, that might open the door to
a requirement that others would be required
to get historic assessments by historical
consultants to determine dening features
and historic characteristics of their homes
before doing any remodeling. That is
already the case in the Burlingame Park dis-
trict, due to documents submitted back in
2009 by the Burlingame Historical
Society.
Councilman Jerry Deal is a bit hesitant
about such an ordinance, but did agree it
would be good for property taxes.
Preservation can be expensive, said
Deal. I saw one building owner go into
bankruptcy. They had to sell the building.
Meanwhile, some residents are in support
of an ordinance being extended out of down-
town. For example, Reese and Sally Foster
live in a Julia Morgan home in Burlingame.
Julia Morgan was a California architect who
designed more than 700 buildings in
California during her life, including the
famous Hearst Castle in San Simeon. The
Fosters wonder how they can protect their
homes historic value.
Were thinking of downsizing and when
someone buys our home our main concern is
they would tear it down, Sally Foster said.
Its a 100-year-old house and were happy
with the possibility of using the Mills Act.
Nagel noted Burlingame has some charm-
ing, historic buildings in town that should
be protected, including the little houses
behind the main re station on California
Drive and the storybook homes on Carlos
Avenue.
How to protect historic buildings with-
out infringing on the rights of other home-
owners is still an open question, Nagel
said in an email.
Brownrigg made it clear he believes the
program should be strictly voluntary.
Im really against designations being
foisted on people who dont want them,
Brownrigg said. Im OK with a program
thats completely voluntary as long as a
neighbor cant do it to someone elses
home.
Bill Meeker, community development
director, said the next step is to ne tune the
ordinance with the city attorney and city
manager.

HISTORIC
Mateo, said the state has yet to issue a for-
mal conclusion but that all indicators point
to naturally occurring radioactivity.
Its not an uncommon thing to see in
coastal geology, Peterson said.
The California Department of Public
Health echoed the sentiment.
There is no public health risk at
California beaches due to radioactivity
related to events at Fukushima. The
California Department of Public Health is
not aware of any recent activity at
Fukushima or any new data that would cause
elevated radioactivity on California shores
from the Fukushima incident, the CDPH
said in a prepared statement.
Word of the increase came Dec. 27 when
an anonymous caller contacted the state
about his personal Geiger counter reading
and the California Office of Emergency
Services in turn put out an email to counties
with the information, much as it does with
other incidents like sewage spills or train
accidents. Peterson said the notice caught
his attention and he sent out staff to the
same Pacica beach location where readings
near the high tide mark were three to four
times those in the parking lot area.
Meanwhile, a seven-minute video of the
readings posted online under the heading
Fukushima radiation hits San Francisco
garnered hundreds of thousands of views.
Although elevated, Peterson said he is
still comfortable saying the readings are
safe. An unsafe range would be 100 times or
more above the expected baseline
Per its protocol for elevated levels, the
county contacted the California Department
of Public Health for more detailed testing
which can specify the type of isotope and
determine if it is natural or manmade.
The state made several trips to monitor
and, on Tuesday, issued a statement concur-
ring the elevated levels are due to naturally
occurring materials. The CDPH said it ana-
lyzed samples from the water and will post
information on its website when complete.
But the assurances have not stopped
some online sites from using the informa-
tion to bolster theories that radioactive par-
ticles from the March 2011 Fukushima
meltdown are now hitting western shores.
Peterson, though, said there is no indica-
tion that is true.
Of all the information we have in front of
us and reviewed, there is no public health
and safety concern, he said. The public
should feel safe visiting our coast.

Thoughts on
climate change theory
Editor,
In the Jan. 3 edition of the Daily
Journal, John Bloomstine continues
our climate change discussion (in
his letter, Climate change is it
real?); I think this is good. Mr.
Bloomstine seems to have given up
on the evidence from his first let-
ter without a fight. Hes replaced
those items with a couple of 1970s
references. In response to his
remark, I believe you can be called a
denier when current science is
overwhelmingly against your
beliefs. The last decade, 2000 to
2009, was the hottest on record. For
some help getting references that
are less than 40 years old, heres a
sample link: http://www. live-
science.com/19466-climate-change-
myths-busted.html. As for the gratu-
itous remark about evolution being
a theory evolution is a fact,
evinced by the fossil record. The
questions are, why is there evolu-
tion, and how does it work? Over
150 years ago, Mr. Darwin proposed
his theory as to the cause behind
the visible facts. Scientists since
then have been free to test or dis-
prove his theory; it has held to
date, and is about as tested and
proven as a scientific theory can be.
Again, oil is a finite resource,
which took millions of years of
geologic processes to create, and
weve burned half of it in the last
century. Why wouldnt we get ahead
of the curve on renewables and save
some oil for future generations?
There are plenty of low-pollution
alternatives. All of the energy
released by burning oil came origi-
nally from the sun; lets cut out the
middleman and go straight to the
source whenever possible.

Children and the future
Editor,
The future looks pretty bleak for
our children. Most of the people on
food stamps are children who are
hungry and unhealthy now because
food stamps are such a paltry
amount that you cant feed a child
well. That pittance has now been cut
by the millionaires in Congress
who have no empathy or compas-
sion for the working people of this
nation. Our schools are being
destroyed and run like prisons. Our
babies are taken from their mothers
at a few months old because Clinton
ended welfare for families with
dependent children. We are not tak-
ing care of our children but plen-
ty of funds for tax cuts for the rich
and bailouts for the banksters and
the wars go on and on and on. There
are no jobs for the young people
and this will cause serious social
problems.
I agree with Mr. Havis (Letter
Future in Jan. 7 edition of Daily
Journal) that we need to reduce our
population but it is even more
important that we stop burning fos-
sil fuels! We must stop the fracking
and the refining of the toxic tar
sands and create a new energy sys-
tem based on renewable fuels.
This should be especially impor-
tant to the residents of Foster City
and anyone living or working on
the east side of El Camino Real
(which used to run on the shore of
the Bay). Watch out! Here comes the
rising sea level!

Letters to the editor
N
ow that current Federal
Reserve Vice Chair Janet
Yellen has been confirmed
to replace Ben Bernanke when he
steps down after eight years at the
end of the month, it appears she cer-
tainly has her work cut out for her.
The last two chairmen certainly
knew when to call it quits. After 18
years, Alan Greenspan stepped down
in 2006 right before the toppling
of the house of cards that was our
economy propped by credit default
swaps and easy money policies that
made home purchases entirely too
easy. The most recent chairman, Ben
Bernanke, pulled out every trick in
the book to ensure the worlds finan-
cial system did not implode. After
years of fiscal stimulus, monetary
policy expansion including sev-
eral quantitative easing programs
and bailouts of key market sectors
including banking and the auto
industry, it is now time to start
winding down. And while Bernanke
did some monumental heavy lifting,
transferring that awkward amount of
weight to the shoulders of Yellen,
who will be charged with setting it
down gently, will be no small task.
In addition, Yellen will have to
contend with increased scrutiny of
the Federal Reserve and its policies
and overseeing the enactment of the
Dodd-Frank regulatory reforms.
Depending on your philosophy
free market or Keynesian that
increased scrutiny is either warranted
or not. But the fact of the matter is
that after years of letting the Fed do
whatever it wanted, Congress has
taken an interest in its activities.
However, how much traction that
attention gets is yet to be seen but
its difficult to see our current
Congress agreeing on much of any-
thing particularly new policy for
the complicated and entangled infra-
structure that is the Federal Reserve.
But Yellens primary task will be
to scale back the sheer volume of its
stimulus efforts as the stock market
is still in a rolling boil. Anyone
who knows anything knows there is
a danger in such a rolling boil espe-
cially if the Fed has had its hand on
the knob for about four years. Turn it
down to fast and the market will
panic and interest rates may rise too
quickly. Keep it boiling and infla-
tion and asset bubbles become a
risk. Additionally, it is yet to be
seen if the market is strong enough
on its own to maintain without the
Feds assistance.
But that is the challenge. And
while Yellen was cheered by liberals
for her scrutiny of big banks, dont
expect her to do anything but main-
tain the status quo until the economy
is stabilized and unemployment is at
least under 7 percent, and maybe
even under 6 percent. There are many
other factors in play, some are polit-
ical, some are not, but the Federal
Reserve certainly needs a steady
hand as it unwinds its years of
aggressive monetary policy. Yellen
will likely prove to be that steady
hand out of necessity.
Steady hand needed at the Fed
Fat chance
T
o blame obesity on the obese is the easy
answer but it is the wrong answer. The current
formulation of gluttony and sloth, diet and
exercise, while accepted by virtually everyone, is based
on faulty premise and myth that have taken hold in the
worlds consciousness. Dr. Robert H. Lustig, Fat
Chance.
Is one of your New Years
resolutions related to los-
ing weight? Do you go
around feeling guilty
because you believe that
those extra pounds are a
result of your sloth and
gluttony? In that case, you
may want to read more
about Dr. Lustig.
But rst I want to discuss
an interesting article that
was in this newspaper
toward the end of
November: Doctors are
told to get serious about
obesity. How sad to think that it has come to this that
the lifestyles and eating habits that have become preva-
lent in the United States, and have inundated so many in
our culture, have led to so much obesity and ill health.
According to the article, if youre overweight, your doc-
tor will now be encouraged to come up with a plan to help
you lose weight which includes prescribing a counselor.
You wonder if these counselors will perpetuate what Dr.
Lustig says is the rampant myth that eating less and exer-
cising more will solve the problem. If so, how many of
the reported one-third of American adults who are obese
would be inclined or able to follow advice for dieting and
exercising that may ensue?
It was while this column was in the mixer that I discov-
ered Lustigs very interesting book. He goes into many
psychological and physical reasons why so many people
are overweight and are unable to lose for any length of
time. They have very little to do with gluttony and sloth
the way the rest of us think about them. He writes, The
behaviors of gluttony and sloth are very real, but they
are the result of changes in brain biochemistry.
Isnt it time that the problem of obesity is taken seri-
ously enough for government to step in and stem the tide
before it completely inundates us before many more
people become so overweight and in need of prescriptions
for counseling and cholesterol and blood sugar problems?
Shouldnt the reasons that people are overweight in the
rst place be addressed? Shouldnt our government and the
medical establishment thoroughly investigate and face up
to why, especially in the past 30 years or so, there has
been such an unprecedented increase in these problems
and do something about it besides advising eat less and
exercise more?
Isnt it way past time that the onus is put where it
belongs on the food industry that gleefully sells junk
food and government legislators who allow corporate
interests to buy their votes? As Lustig argues: govern-
ments around the world have been co-opted by the food
industry. They must instead partner with the populace and
exert inuence over the food industry to stop the obesity
epidemic before we all reach the medical and nancial
Armageddon now within sight.
Consider how the American diet has evolved. We can go
back to the renement of wheat, the development of trans
fats, to the huge increase in sugar consumption and, in the
more recent past, the plethora of highly advertised and
easily available fast- and ready-prepared foods, on to high
fructose corn syrup, secret ingredients, chemical addi-
tives the fact that what most people are eating now has
little resemblance to anything whole and natural. So what
can be done to try to counteract the effects of our haz-
ardous safari into the jungle of fabricated foods?
Government must demand that industry gets chemicals
like BPAout of our food, hormones and antibiotics out of
food animals and who knows how many other chemicals
that have never even been tested. And Lustig believes
(based on much research) that sugar (especially high fruc-
tose corn syrup) that has become rampant in our food has
much to do with the obesity epidemic. Our bodies have
not adapted to our current environmental sugar glut, and it
is killing us slowly, he writes.
Laws should be passed that would help reduce production
and sale of so many anti-nutritious foods that offer noth-
ing but calories and that many people consume regularly.
For a start, any product thats mainly sugar and doesnt at
least ll a set minimum requirements for naturally occur-
ring nutrients like protein, vitamins and minerals, would
be clearly labeled to denote it as anti-nutritious. Such
products would therefore not qualify for food stamps.
As Lustig concluded: I get sick when I think of whats
happened to us, our country, our planet. This book is my
outcry for a better world for our children. Time to cry out
and just maybe our children will inherit the Earth.

NEW YORK Stocks rallied
Tuesday, ending a slump that had ush-
ered in the New Year.
The Standard and Poors 500 index
climbed the most in three weeks, led
by gains for health care stocks.
UnitedHealth Group, the nations
largest health insurer, and Johnson &
Johnson both climbed on recommen-
dations for brokerage rms.
After three straight declines, the
S&P 500 would have matched its worst
opening of a year since 1978 had it
closed lower for a fourth day. The stock
markets slow start to 2014 contrasts
with last years exceptional perform-
ance, when the S&P 500 climbed to
record levels after surging almost 30
percent.
To me the trend still looks up, even
though weve been chopping around,
said Bill Stone, chief investment
strategist at PNC Wealth Management
Group. The economy seems to be in
the mode that you would expect corpo-
rate earnings to continue to grow.
The S&P 500 rose 11. 11 points, or
0.6 percent, to 1,837.88, the biggest
gain since Dec. 18. Nine of the 10 sec-
tors that make up the index rose.
The Dow Jones industrial average
climbed 105.84 points, or 0.6 per-
cent, to 16,530.94 The Nasdaq com-
posite gained 39.50 points, or 1 per-
cent, to 4,153.18.
UnitedHealth group gained $2.27, or
3.1 percent, to $76.51 after analysts
at Deutsche Bank said they expected
the nations largest health insurance
company to charge customers more in
premiums this year.
Johnson & Johnson climbed $1.96,
or 2.1 percent, to $94.29 after ana-
lysts at RBC Capital raised their out-
look on the stock to outperform, in
part due to optimism on sales of the
diabetes drug Invokana.
Investors were also encouraged by
the easy passage in a Senate vote late
Monday of Janet Yellens nomination
to take the helm at the Federal Reserve.
The vote puts an economist in the post
who has backed the Feds recent efforts
to stimulate the economy with low
interest rates and huge bond purchases.
The conrmation is a reminder that
the Feds policies of stimulating the
economy will likely continue, said
Kristina Hooper, U.S. Investment
Strategist at Allianz Global Investors.
Its just a nice little halo effect,
said Hooper.
Investors will get more insight into
the Feds thinking when minutes from
the Federal Open Market Committee
are released on Wednesday. The Fed
announced after its last meeting that it
would begin winding down its month-
ly $85 billion bond-buying program.
That stimulus was a major support for
last years rally in stocks.
Despite Tuesdays gains, stocks
have started the year off on uncertain
footing. Materials companies have
declined 1.6 percent so far this year,
led by Cliffs Natural Resources. The
mining company, which was the sec-
ond-biggest loser in the S&P 500 last
year as commodities prices slumped, is
extending its losses.
In government bond trading, the
yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell
to 2.94 percent from 2.96 percent
Monday.
The most important piece of eco-
nomic news to be released this week
will come on Friday when the Labor
Department releases its jobs report for
December. The report will inuence the
Feds decision on how quickly it will
reduces its bond purchases in the com-
ing months.
Among the biggest losers on
Tuesday was Neti x.
The online video streaming compa-
ny, the biggest gainer in the S&P 500
last year, fell $20.07, or 7.8 percent,
to $339.50, after analysts at Morgan
Stanley cut their outlook on the stock
to underweight. The brokerage says
the online video service will face
increasing competition from services
such as Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime and
HBO GO.

NEWYORK American oil compa-
nies have not been allowed to export
crude for 40 years, but the industry
wants to change that, even though the
U.S. still consumes far more oil than it
produces.
A surprising surge in domestic pro-
duction of light, sweet crude a par-
ticular type of oil that foreign reners
covet has triggered growing calls to
lift the restrictions, which were put in
place after the Arab oil embargo of
1973.
But the idea is touching a nerve that
remains raw four decades after oil short-
ages crippled the economy and led to
the law that banned crude exports with-
out a special license.
For 40 years, energy policy has
been shaped by that experience of the
1970s, says Daniel Yergin, energy
historian, author and vice chairman of
the research and analysis rm IHS. But
we are in a different world. Neither our
logistics nor our thinking has caught
up with the dramatic changes in North
America.
Skeptics worry that lifting the
restrictions would lead to higher gaso-
line prices and decreased energy securi-
t y. Economists and analysts argue that
it would have little or no effect on
prices, largely because the U.S. already
exports record amounts of gasoline and
diesel, which are not restricted.
Some experts say allowing crude
exports could actually improve energy
security by encouraging more domestic
production.

JPMorgan to pay more than $2.5B in Madoff fraud
NEWYORK JPMorgan will pay more than $2.5 billion
for missing obvious warning signs of Bernard Madoffs
massive Ponzi scheme.
Authorities said Tuesday that the nations largest bank
will forfeit $1.7 billion to settle criminal charges. It also
will pay a $350 million civil settlement to the government.
The trustee recovering assets for Madoff investors also
announced that the bank will pay $543 million to settle
other claims brought on behalf of fraud victims.

WARRIORS CONTINUE ROLL: GOLDEN STATE WINS 10TH IN A ROW WITH 21-POINT WIN OVER MILWAUKEE >> PAGE 12
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For years, Terra Nova football coach Bill Gray
has joked that when he retires, he was going to
write a book about his life as a high school
coach.
Looks like Gray can nally start putting pen
to paper.
The legendary Peninsula coach announced
Monday he was retiring as the Tigers head
coach. The news was rst reported by the San
Jose Mercury News and MaxPreps.com.
Calls to Grays ofce and cellphone were not
returned.
There are of others, however, who had plenty
to say about Gray stepping down following a
42-year coaching career at Oceana and Terra
Nova.
Hes an icon. A pillar, said Burlingame
coach John Philipopoulos, who played his sen-
ior year of high school under Gray at Oceana and
has coached against him for the last 12 seasons.
Hes what we all strive to be.
Aragon coach Steve Sell said Grays
announcement caught him completely off
guard.
Never saw it coming, said Sell, who now
becomes the Peninsula Athletic Leagues
longest tenured football coach at 14 years head-
ing the Dons program. My phone was just
buzzing (Monday). Text after text. Everyone
was kind of shocked.
As reported by Mitch Stephens at
MaxPreps.com, Gray, 66, compiled a record of
256-176-6. Since the merger of the PAL in
1996, Terra Nova is the only team to have
played in the Bay Division every year. His team
won six PALBay Division titles, including the
last ve in a row. He won Central Coast Section
championships in 1987 with Oceana and the
Division III title with the Tigers in 2010.
This season, the Tigers completed the regular
season undefeated at 10-0 and is generally
regarded as one of the best teams in school his-
tory. But a 26-7 loss to Valley Christian in the
rst round of the CCS Open Division playoffs
put a damper on the year.
With Grays retirement, it ends an era in PAL
history. He has served as the leagues football
commissioner so long, not one coach in the
PAL has ever been to a league meeting without
Gray as the chairman.
Whos going to do that (now)?
Philipopoulos said. Whos going to hold
shop? Retirement has ripple affects going way
down the line.
Said Sell: Its going to be different not hav-
ing him be the guy. But Im happy for him.
Gray has also served as a mentor to many
coaches, especially Philipopoulos, who admits
copying a lot of what Gray did at Terra Nova for
his teams at Burlingame.
Hes been such an inuence on my coaching

If were keeping it real, no soccer team
loves a draw.
But if youre the Burlingame girls, right
about now, youre really liking the one you
just earned.
The Panthers, missing two of their starters
and with another all bandaged up, rallied
twice from one-goal decits to draw with the
reigning PAL Bay Division champion
Woodside Wildcats 2-2 in the Bay Division
opener for both teams Tuesday.
With a little more than eight minutes left
in the game, Alexis Prietos all-out hustle
play and pinpoint nish equalized it for the
Panthers.
Woodside is so good. And theyre so, so
talented, said Burlingame head coach
Philip DeRosa. Its funny because in the
[postgame] meeting there, our assistant
coach (Steve Freitas) said hes been with us
for two championship years, but he never
thought a tie could feel this good only
because theyre a really loaded team and
given the circumstances we had during the
game.
The postgame jubilation from the
Panthers gave the Wildcats a dose of what to
expect this season as they try to defend their
Peninsula Athletic League title. The reality
is, because theyre above and beyond the
most talented team in the league, the usual
target most squads carry as reigning champi-
on is much bigger for them a positive
result against Woodside right now is gold for
any of the teams in the PAL.
They deserved to win, said Woodside
head coach Jose Navarrete. They played
Panthers giddy with tie

Looks like a change is afoot in the
Peninsula Athletic League South Division
girls basketball standings.
The usual contenders Aragon,
Burlingame, Mills and San Mateo are
around .500 or worse. While squads that
havent sniffed division titles in years
Capuchino and Carlmont seem to be
favorites this season.
The following is a look at the girls South
Division, in alphabetical order. All records
are through Monday, based on results post-
ed on MaxPreps.com.
Aragon (3-5)
About a decade ago, the Dons were vying
for Central Coast Section championships,
making back-to-back nals in 2004 and
2005.
That was a long time ago. The 2014 edi-
tion of the Dons has played a fairly rugged
schedule, but have struggled against better
teams.
With league play starting, the Dons
should have the pieces necessary to con-
tend, despite starting a pair of sophomores
and a freshman. When the Dons are running
theyre at their most dangerous.
Burlingame (2-8)

The goal for the 2013-14 College of San
Mateo womens basketball teams is a brand new
hardwood oor some 380 miles away from their
own.
There, you will nd El Cerrito College
home of this years state championships and
former stomping grounds for CSM head coach
Michelle Warner.
I tell them all the time, Warner said. Ive yet
to see their new court. And Id like a courtside
seat.
Shed also really like to have her entire bas-
ketball team sitting next to her for this home-
coming. And with an 8-6 record in non-league
play, along with a mostly-healthy (and full) ros-
ter, a spot in the CCCAAstate championships
might not be too far-fetched.
The Bulldogs begin conference play in the
newly-reformatted Coast Conference North
Division Wednesday evening against the heavi-
ly-favored, state-ranked City College of San
Francisco Rams. Its the rst of 12 very tough
games that will determine CSMs plight the
top two nishers in conference earn automatic
bids in the playoffs while the rest will battle
each other for an at-large bid.
For the most part, especially compared to
last year, its much better [health-wise], Warner
said about her team heading into conference
play. It helps to have more people because than
other people can help shoulder the load. That
helps a lot. We try to play all 14 [players].
The rst promising sign of CSMs start is that
there are several players on its roster who have
logged considerable minutes. And while the
Bulldogs have
big aspirations

MILWAUKEE David Lee scored 22
points, making his rst 10 shots from the
eld, to lead the Golden State Warriors to a
101-80 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on
Tuesday night.
Lee added 18 rebounds for the Warriors,
who have won 10 consecutive games, the
teams longest streak since its NBA-title
season in 1975. Stephen Curry contributed
15 points for the Warriors despite connect-
ing on just 5 of 18 shots. Klay Thompson
also scored 15 points.
The Warriors, playing their sixth game of
a seven-city road trip, led by just two at the
half against the Bucks, who have the NBAs
worst record.
Golden State broke
open the game with a 23-
7 run to start the third
quarter, highlighted by a
step-back 3-pointer from
the corner by Curry. Later
in the quarter, Curry hit
an acrobatic reverse
layup while being fouled,
extending Golden States
lead to 19. The Warriors led 79-68 heading
into the fourth.
A3 by O.J. Mayo cut Golden States mar-
gin to eight to start the fourth, but the
Warriors quickly built the lead back to dou-
ble digits, cruising to victory. The Warriors
led by as many as 23 late in the fourth.
Ersan Ilyasova had 20 points and Brandon
Knight 18 for the Bucks.
Milwaukee grabbed a 30-28 lead after the
rst quarter, sparked by Knights 10 points.
Golden State opened the second quarter on
a 10-0 run and went on to a 50-48 lead at the
half. Lee led the way with 14 points, mak-
ing all seven of his shots from the eld. He
added seven first-half rebounds. Golden
State shot 55 percent from the eld in the
half, despite connecting on only 4 of 14 3-
point attempts.
Knight had 13 rst-half points for the
Bucks and Ilyasova added 12.
NOTES: Ilyasova sank his rst 3-point
attempt of the game. He entered having mis-
red on 20 consecutive 3s. . Warriors center
Andrew Bogut, a No. 1 overall pick of the
Bucks in 2005, played his rst game in
Milwaukee since a March 2012 trade that
sent him to Golden State. ... Bucks coach
Larry Drew said peace returned to the locker
room following a dustup between team-
mates Larry Sanders and Gary Neal after
Saturdays blowout loss at Phoenix. Were
back in love with one another. Its a very
emotional game and tempers do are, Drew
said. The most important thing is that
there is no snowball effect. We make it an
isolated incident. . Draymond Green

SANTACLARA Phil Dawson walked off
the eld in triumph, his left hand still raised in
the freezing air.
San Franciscos veteran kicker waited 15
years for his rst playoff victory. And 11
years to return to the postseason after his lone
previous trip after 2002 with Cleveland.
What a memorable day Dawson had Sunday,
kicking the winning 33-yard eld goal in the
bitter cold as time expired at Green Bay, send-
ing the 49ers (13-4) into the NFC divisional
round this weekend at Carolina.
This is fun, its been a long time coming,
Dawson said Tuesday. To be around this kind
of locker room and these
kind of coaches, where
this isnt a surprise, this is
expected, this is what
everythings geared for all
year long, its fun to be a
part of that.
Even given single-digit
temperatures that made for
challenging playing con-
ditions, coach Jim
Harbaugh said he would have let Dawson go
for it with the game on the line from as far out
as 53 yards.
Dawson was thrilled he could kick from 20
yards closer.
As steady as Dawson has been in his rst
season with San Francisco delivering on
32 of 36 eld goals and making a franchise-
record 27 in a row before the streak ended Dec.
29 at Arizona even he knew nothing was
guaranteed kicking on the frozen tundra of
Lambeau Field.
Dawson had long envisioned such a
moment, unsure whether he would get his shot
with a playoff game on the line.
Id like to say yes, but you never really
know, Dawson said. Ive watched way too
much playoff football at home. Id see games,
not necessarily all game-winning situations
but a big kick would come up, maybe it was
bad weather, a hostile environment or whatev-
er the case may be, and I just quietly wondered,
I wonder how I would handle that? I put the
work in to be prepared if that day ever came. It
came for me Sunday, and it was fun to have an
opportunity and experience winning with my
teammates.
Dawson departed Cleveland after 14 seasons
for a fresh, winning start out West. A fan
favorite for the Browns, his former city is
happy for him now as hard as it was to see
Dawson go.
I was never bitter, I was very happy where
I was, very grateful to play all the years I did in
Cleveland, he said. I would have loved to
experience this with the people there. Thats a
city starved for playoff success. Theyre
going to get it someday, and Ill be very
49ers kicker Dawson finally gets playoff win

hard. They hung in there and took whatever
we threw at them which wasnt a whole
lot tonight. But this is what our team needs.
Theres something missing from this team.
We are not good enough to not play hard. If
we would have played as hard as
Burlingame, we would have come away with
a victory. But they played harder than we
did.
Harder, and a bit hungrier if you ask
Navarrete. It showed in the second half
when the Panthers took advantage of the
only two really clear looks at the Woodside
net. To Burlingames credit, the Panthers
really worked for those chances and execut-
ed them with great precision.
Woodside struck rst after knocking on
the door several times in the rst half.
Jillienne Aguilera broke the scoreless draw
with less than four minutes left in the period
after a ball was oated from the right side
into the Burlingame penalty box. After a bit
of commotion, it landed comfortably on her
right foot and the sophomore nished to
give Woodside a 1-0 lead.
But Burlingame responded less than a
minute into the second half perhaps
catching the Wildcats napping a bit. Kelsey
Andrews made a tough turn to the inside
some 17 yards out and was rewarded with a
bit of daylight. She wasted little time in
shooting low and to the keepers right to
make it 1-1.
Fourteen minutes later, it looked like
Woodside found the extra strike it needed to
settle things. Isabella Bascara turned a great
scramble in the Burlingame box into a goal
after another freshman, Alex Augulis, set
everything up with some great individual
skill and pressure.
Despite the goal, Woodside wasnt get-
ting as many looks on goal as they were in
the rst half.
We tightened up defensively, DeRosa
said. We really stress defense. And that was
the key. In fact, I was extremely disappoint-
ed that we gave up those goals. They pound-
ed them in. And we know how talented they
are. Theyre fast, theyre quick, theyre
deadly. My girls executed today and I could-
nt be happier for them.
Prieto turned out to be the DeRosas
biggest source of happiness on Tuesday.
No. 16 won a 50-50 ball deep in Woodside
territory. She then proceeded to maneuver
around a pair of Wildcat defenders the sec-
ond of those jukes freed her up to take a
shot. Prieto didnt miss and tied the game 2-
2.
Thats my biggest concern right now,
Navarrete said of his team, talking speci-
cally about their tenacity. This team is by
far more talented than last years but not as
passionate, not as hungry. Its a cause of
concern. Its going to take a little more
effort.
Woodside versus Burlingame is usually
kick-ass one way or another, DeRosa said.
But, I thought [it was] a good game.
The Wildcats remain unbeaten at 5-0-2.
They have not dropped a PAL decision since
Menlo-Atherton beat them in February of
2012.
Burlingame is now 1-3-1.

Vonn wont ski in Sochi Olympics
Lindsey Vonn will miss the Sochi Olympics
because of a right knee injury, leaving the
Winter Games without one of its biggest stars.
The 29-year-old from Vail, Colo., announced
her decision Tuesday, exactly one month before
the opening ceremony in Russia.
Her personal publicist, Lewis Kay, said in a
statement that Vonn will have surgery short-
ly.
She took home two medals from the 2010
Vancouver Games, including becoming the rst
American woman to win an Olympic gold in the
downhill. Vonn is also a four-time overall
World Cup champion, the most recognized
name in Alpine skiing and, as it happens,
the girlfriend of Tiger Woods.
But Vonn tore two ligaments in her right knee
during a high-speed crash at the world champi-
onships last February, sidelining her for about
10 months. She re-tore her surgically repaired
ACLin a training crash in November, a key set-
back. Then, after returning to competition in
early December by nishing 40th, 11th and
fth in a set of World Cup races at Lake Louise,
Alberta, Vonn sprained her MCLduring a race at
Val dIsere, France, last month.

At Sterling Court, were
proud of what we offer.
Division III champs have gotten off to a
slow start in their quest to repeat. Last year
after 10 games, the Panthers were undefeat-
ed.
The Panthers dropped their first three
games this season, without breaking the
30-point barrier. They ended the preseason
with three straight losses in the Garden
Grove tournament, again struggling with
offense.
Burlingames troubles can almost be
expected as the Panthers graduated six sen-
iors from last season, including a majority
of starters and key subs off the bench. Claire
Phillips (jr. C) and Lexi Elia (sr. G) saw the
most playing time of nine returning play-
ers, appearing in 28 and 23 games, respec-
tively, of the Panthers 31 games played last
year.
Add a pair of sophomores and a freshman
making their varsity debuts this season and
it could take awhile for the Panthers to nd
their rhythm. If they dont fall out of the
race early, they have a shot at closing
strong.
Capuchino (10-2)
The Mustangs have been the biggest sur-
prise girls or boys this season. They
have won just 16 games the previous three
seasons, but have already secured a spot in
the CCS playoffs.
After starting the preseason 3-2, the
Mustangs have ripped off seven straight
wins, including victories over North
Division squads Jefferson and El Camino.
The Mustangs have all the pieces neces-
sary to make a run. Senior Taylor Brazil and
junior Brianna Deckman are two of the bet-
ter wings in the PAL and have combined to
average nearly 30 points per game.
Junior guard Brittany Deckman is averag-
ing nine points and three assists, while
returning sophomore Ani Uikilifi is the
Mustangs low-post presence, averaging
just over six points while pulling down
eight rebounds per game.
The Mustangs rebound well as a whole.
Brazil and Brittany Deckman grab five
boards a game, while Brianna Deckman
pulls four.
With a lot of returning talent, the
Mustangs appear poised to make a title run
for the rst time in a while.
Carlmont (11-1)
The Scots have been equally surprising
this season. Not only have they been win-
ning, they have been dominant in doing so.
During their 10-game winning streak,
Carlmonts average margin of victory is 22
points, with their closest margin of victory
being a 62-55 win over Sacred Heart Prep.
Anisah Smith has been the story for
Carlmont, averaging more than 20 points
per game. The Scots need to nd a comple-
ment to her to give the Scots another reli-
able scorer and take some of the pressure off
Smith.
Hillsdale (6-5)
The Knights limp into league play, hav-
ing lost four straight, but do so knowing
they can win. They opened with three con-
vincing victories, before losing a close one
to Castilleja.
The Knights should be ready to compete
with most of the PAL South this year after
going 2-10 last year but have eight return-
ers back and only three seniors. Emily
Nepomuceno is only a sophomore, but
played in all 21 games as a freshman last
year.
Kara Roberg is scoring 5.3 points and
grabbing just over six rebounds per game,
while Emily Lyons paces the offense with
just nine points a game.
If the Knights outside shooting is
falling, theyre capable of beating just
about anybody in the PAL.
Menlo-Atherton (7-3)
The Bears have quietly put together a
solid preseason and should be in position to
challenge for the top of the standings.
They have a win over a 9-3 San Marin
squad as well as a relatively easy, 15-point
win over Menlo School.
Despite going 7-5 last season in league
play, it was only good for fth place in a
loaded division. The Bears may be among
the youngest teams in the division, with
just one returning senior, Emma Heath. But
they have ve other returners four jun-
iors and a sophomore who played varsi-
ty last season. Add to the mix is two sopho-
mores and a pair of freshmen and this team
could experience some growing pains. But
given their competitive preseason, the
Bears should be primed for a run.
Mills (6-6)
The Vikings experienced some troubles
during the preseason, but you can always
count on them being in the mix for the divi-
sion title.
They had a streak of double-digit losses in
the Pinewood and Tracy tournaments after
opening the season with four wins in ve
games.
Mills will have to overcome the gradua-
tion of four-year starter Kristen Lastofka,
but the Vikings might have the premiere
post player in the division in sophomore
center Julia Gibbs, who took over games at
times during her freshman season. She is
averaging 9.3 points and 5.8 rebounds per
game this year.
All told, five players return from last
years team that nished 9-3 in league, but
just 11-12 overall.
San Mateo (3-7)
The Bearcats have struggled in the presea-
son, with one of their wins coming by way
of forfeit.
San Mateo has struggled offensively,
scoring an average of 29.9 points per game.
Defensively, the Bearcats are allowing an
average of 43.3. The Bearcats have some
work to do if they want to come close to
matching last years league record of 8-4.
Sequoia (3-6)
After starting the season 0-2, it appeared
the Cherokees had built up some steam,
winning three in a row. But they enter PAL
play on a four-game slide and the good feel-
ings garnered by three wins have been tem-
pered by four blowout losses.
Woodside (4-7)
Ayear after nishing as co-champs of the
South Division, the Wildcats look to be in
rebuilding mode with a new coach.
This years squad is extremely young,
with just three juniors. The rest of the roster
is lled out with freshmen and sophomores,
so expect some growing pains from
Woodside this season.
The Wildcats had some encouraging
results in preseason play, pulling out a
three-point win over South Fork and a one-
point victory over Lower Lake in the
Kelseyville tournament.
But theyve endured some one-sided loss-
es as well. There have been four games when
the Wildcats have failed to score 20 points.
PREVIEW
career and we model a lot of what we do from Terra Nova,
Philipopoulos said. Hes such a nice man and he really
cares about the kids.
And Gray was more than just a football coach. He coached
wrestling for many years, was a physical education teacher
until a couple years ago and has been the schools athletic
director for years. He cared about all high school sports, not
just football.
And he wasnt all about whats best for Terra Nova. He was
always looking out for the good of the PAL.
The impact he had on athletics is much more broad than
just football, Philipopoulos said. When he talks, people
listen. When coach Gray has something to say, people lis-
ten.
Gray was tough but fair. On the Terra Nova football web-
site, Gray laid out exactly what was expected of players. All
there in black and white. And if there were any problems,
Gray dealt with them swiftly and decisively.
I think the key word is respect, Philipopoulos said.
[Hes a coach] whos been there and done that. I think were
all safe following his lead.

win-loss record suggests an up-and-
down start, the reality is the Bulldogs
feel like theyve won a lot more con-
sidering they battled against really
tough competition and emerged rela-
tively unscathed.
We learned a lot, Warner said.
Theres denitely been a transition
from playing most of the game in
high school to playing all out for
three or four minutes and then need-
ing a sub. Theyre starting to learn,
you cant jog, you cant go 70 percent
especially against teams like City.
You have to go 100 percent all of the
time.
Theres where the luxury of a full
and versatile roster really kicks in for
CSM as they enter conference play.
With the exception of one of two
players, Warner said she has a group
of girls comfortable with guard duties
and a couple of guards who dont
mind getting physical underneath the
basket if the situation calls for it.
That versatility will prove huge as
teams go with short rest this season
with games on Wednesday than
Friday.
We have much more 3-point
shooters this year, Warner said. We
have some size on the inside. So,
depending on who were playing,
somebody should be getting their
double-digit [points] in. But usually,
were shooting for 10 or more scorers
a game.
So far, the offensive wealth has
come from former Half Moon Bay
Cougar McKenna Hilton. Shes aver-
aging over 11 points a game and is
the only Bulldogs in double digits.
After that, CSM is looking at ve or
six different players who are in the 5
to 6 point range. It just depends on
the match-ups, Warner said. I think
thats whats good about this group.
They know any night could be their
opportunity.
Theyll get an opportunity to make
some immediate noise when they
travel to the 12-3 Rams. City College
of San Francisco and their athletes
will tell CSM right off the bat exactly
where they t in and how realistic
their dream of getting Warner her
homecoming really are.
Bring it on, said CSM guard
Teanna Price. Were going to learn a
lot about ourselves. Im excited to see
how much different itll be from last
year. I know theres going to be a lot
of change. Its going to be interest-
ing. Im optimistic about it.
Im not worried about them (the
other teams in conference), Im wor-
ried about my team. What we can do.
How we work. I know what we want to
be and that is, tenacious on defense. I
know we all want success. The last
couple of games have been a real gut-
check to see how much we really
want it.
After two road trips to start league
play (San Francisco and San Jose),
CSM will play its home opener next
Wednesday against Las Positas
College.
CSM
happy for them when that day
comes.
Now, the Niners are expected to
re-sign him when his one-year
contract expires. Dawson has said
he would love to be back, while
Harbaugh has said he will work on
keeping Dawson around saying
a couple of weeks back, Pay the
man.
Im one of his biggest fans,
linebacker Patrick Willis said.
That guy is amazing.
Dawson wants to cherish this
opportunity, realizing how eet-
ing success can be, perhaps even
more so as an NFL specialist at
this late stage of his career.
He continues to bring value
each and every week, tight end
Vernon Davis said Tuesday. Hes
been clutch for us. Im happy for
him, and Im happy to have him
on this team as we continue to
move forward. I look forward to
seeing him help us.
Dawson, who turns 39 on Jan.
23, credits everyone for doing
their job in such tough circum-
stances from the offense get-
ting him closer to rookie long
snapper Kevin McDermott and
holder Andy Lee.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernicks
11-yard run on third-and-8 set up
Dawsons winning kick, which
was nearly blocked.
I think I walked away from that
with the reality that every eld
goal, youre inches away from it
being blocked, Dawson said.
Once back in the locker room,
Harbaugh and Dawson spent a
quiet moment together following a
team prayer. The coach could sense
the importance of Dawsons
accomplishment to the kicker.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Mattias
Ekholms rst NHL goal proved to
be the game winner as the
Nashville Predators beat the San
Jose Sharks 3-2 on Tuesday night
for their first victory in four
games.
David Legwand also had a goal
and an assist, and Shea Weber
added two assists for the Predators,
who have earned points in ve of
six games.
Joe Pavelski and Patrick Marleau
scored for San Jose, which has lost
two of three.
Nashville returned home from a
road trip in which the Predators
lost all three games despite going
to overtime twice.
The Predators took control
against the Sharks by scoring
three goals in the second period.
Nashville is undefeated in regula-
tion this season when scoring at
least three times.
The banged-up Sharks came into
Nashville to wrap up their three-
game trip, following a shootout
win in Chicago on Sunday. The
excitement of that win was tem-
pered because forward Logan
Couture is scheduled to undergo
surgery on Wednesday for what is
believed to be a hand injury.
The Predators took a 1-0 lead
when Legwand scored his seventh
of the season with a wrist shot
from the right circle at 3:35.

Chinese Cuisine
By Sara Moulton
When its cold outside, I love mak-
ing soup for supper. Everything goes
into a single pot, starting with an aro-
matic broth and a substantial array of
vegetables, then a little bit of protein,
and nally a crispy garnish. And when
dinners over, theres only that one
pot to wash!
This recipes fragrant broth is essen-
tially a Chinese version of a Jewish
chicken soup. Folklore has it that the
latter is a cure-all, if only because its
so comforting. But once you add a sig-
nicant amount of fresh ginger, as I
have here, your case for the soups
therapeutic value is even stronger.
Ginger does great things for the body,
which is why I keep a big batch of gin-
ger tea simmering on the stove when
Im ghting a cold.
Swimming in this broth are four veg-
etables carrots, shiitake mush-
rooms, bok choy and peas. I chose
them not only because theyre the kind
of vegetables you might find in a
Chinese soup, but also because they
are nutritious and provide a fresh array
of colors. That said, youre welcome to
swap them out in favor of any number
of other winter veggies, including but-
ternut squash, sweet potatoes, turnips,
broccoli and parsnips.
But whatever else you add to the
soup, make sure that the chicken goes
in last. Cut into bite-sized chunks, it
takes little time to cook, but it will
become tough and leathery if cooked
too long.
At the end of it all, youll want to add
some wonton crisps, which bake
quickly and contribute some avorful
crunch. A healthful approximation of
the wonderful fried noodles often found
on Chinese-styled salads, these crisps
spend no time submerged in oil. You
simply take fresh wonton wrappers (an
all-purpose item you always want to
have at hand in your freezer), cut them
into strips, toss them with a tiny bit of
oil, then bake them until crispy
(which happens in a ash). Theyre the
crowning touch for a soup thatll warm
you from the inside out.

Great fried crab in San
Franciscos Chinatown
By Michelle Locke
SAN FRANCISCO Crab and San Francisco go together
like sour and dough, and you can nd it here in just about
every incarnation from basic cracked and steamed to metic-
ulously plated in the mode of haute cuisine.
But if you like your crustaceans on the crispy side, you
may want to check out the citys Chinatown, the district
that almost wasnt. The original community was razed by
the great earthquake and re of 1906, and city leaders
planned to relocate residents away from the valuable land
next to the Financial District.
Except that far-seeing businessman Look Tin Eli and a
group of like-minded entrepreneurs came up with the nanc-
ing and the vision to do better. He helped create a theatri-
cally decorated neighborhood that would serve as a tourist
attraction as well as provide a place to live, hence the many
pagoda-style roofs and splashes of bright red and gold.
If you are lucky enough to be in San Francisco for Chinese
New Year, the 15-day festival that begins Jan. 31, a stroll
around Chinatown before or after a meal will show you the
neighborhood in its frenetic, bustling glory.
But for those crispy crabs, youll want to head to the R&G
Lounge. Theres nothing fancy about the R&G, which pres-
ents a modest facade to the world at its three-level Kearny
St. location. Step inside and youll nd traditional rib-
sticking fare, such as oyster clay pot and minced sea food in
lettuce cups.
If youre in the mood for a libation, you might try the
lychee martinis along with the house specialty of geoduck
sashimi. (Geoducks, pronounced gooey-ducks, are the huge
clams with gnarled necks that look like a pint-sized ele-
phants trunk.) The restaurants Special Beef is also pop-
ular here. Dont ask for the recipe; its a secret.
But the star attraction is the salt and pepper crab, a whole
Dungeness crab cleaned and partially jointed, dipped in bat-
Any number of winter veggies, including butternut squash, sweet potatoes, turnips, broccoli and parsnips will work well in
this Chinese version of a Jewish chicken soup.

ter, deep-fried and lightly seasoned. This is
not cheap on a recent visit the market
price was $40 but theres a lot to go
around; two people could split one for a
meal with rice, or for four as an appetizer.
Artistically arranged on a white plate with
the glistening shell (lled with the crab but-
ter) arranged on top, this is a dish to admire
for a few seconds before getting to work
with ngers, forks and nut cracker.
Waiters keep your glass lled with piping
hot tea, but you may want to accompany
this with a beer, a lager like the Chinese
brand Tsingtao would make sense. Service is
brisk but pleasant and the decor is plain but
clean. Go downstairs if you want to see the

eying their fate.

CRAB
1/2 cup rice wine, sake or dry sherry
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced carrots
4 to 5 ounces sliced or cubed shiitake
mushrooms
3 tablespoons cornstarch whisked with
1/4 cup water
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken
breasts cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 cups sliced bok choy or napa cabbage
1 cup frozen peas (do not defrost)
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Heat the oven to 375 F.
Cut the wonton wrappers into 1/4-inch
strips. In a bowl, toss the wonton strips
with the oil and a pinch of salt. Arrange the
strips in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake on the ovens middle shelf until gold-
en and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool com-
pletely before serving.
Meanwhile, place the scallions on a cut-
ting board, then use the side of a large knife
or a rolling pin to lightly smash. Cut the
ginger into thin rounds, then slice each
round into thin matchsticks.
In a large saucepan over medium-high
heat, combine the smashed scallions, sliced
ginger, garlic, rice wine and broth. Bring to
a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer
for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, use a slot-
ted spoon to remove and discard the solids.
Add the carrots and mushrooms and sim-
mer gently, covered, for 5 minutes. Bring
the liquid to a boil, then add the cornstarch-
water mixture in a stream while whisking.
Return to a boil.
Add the chicken, bok choy, peas, soy
sauce and sesame oil. Cook gently until the
chicken is just cooked through, about 5
minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and top
each portion with some of the wonton
crisps, if using.

SOUP
NEWYORK Playoff parties may have
one fewer dip option this year.
Kraft Foods says some customers may
not be able to find Velveeta cheese over the
next few weeks. A representative for the
company, Jody Moore, didnt give any rea-
sons for the apparent shortage, saying
only that they happen from time to time
given the nature of manufacturing.
She noted that the lack of availability is
more noticeable because of the seasonal
demand during the NFL playoffs. The com-
pany has been airing TV commercials fea-
turing a recipe for a chili con queso dip
made with Velveeta.
Moore says it should be a short-term sit-
uation and that Kraft hasnt yet heard from
any customers who are having problem
finding the products. She did not say
whether the company experienced a similar
shortage last year.
The trade publication Ad Age reported the
issue Tuesday, quoting an employee at a
Brooklyn-area grocery store who didnt
expect shipments again until February due
to a plant issue.
Safeway supermarkets are not experienc-
ing issues with Velveeta supplies, said
Safeway representative Teena Massingill
in an email.
A representative for supermarket chain
Kroger was not available to comment on
whether it was having difficulty stocking
Velveeta cheeses.
The shortage affects only the Velveeta
hard cheese products, but was not limited to
a specific area.
It is possible consumers in any part of
the country may not be able to find some
Velveeta products, Moore said in an email.
Kraft Foods Group Inc., based in
Northfield, Ill., also owns brand including
Jell-O, Oscar Mayer and Maxwell House.

1/8/14 Filet Mignon
1/22/14 Salmon Wellington
By Sara Moulton
I have always been a huge fan of
the Chinese dumplings known as
pot stickers. Theyre wonton
wrappers filled with pork or
shrimp, crisped up in a pan,
steamed, re-crisped, then served
with a dipping sauce. Yum!
Thinking about pot stickers
recently, it occurred to me that if
you swapped out the savory for
something sweet, youd have a
dandy little dessert on your hands.
And this time of year, when I think
sweet, I think blueberries. Theyre
still thick on the bushes at sum-
mers end when we take our annual
vacation at my parents farm. I had
a feeling that blueberries would
show up very well in a dessert pot
sticker.
Their deliciousness aside, blue-
berries are a wonderfully healthy
fruit high in ber, vitamin C
and antioxidants and this is
their season, whether you buy
them cultivated or wild. Even
frozen berries would work well
here. Just defrost them in a colan-
der taking care to capture the
juice that leaks out of them as they
come to room temp (youll add the
juice to the sauce) then pat the
berries dry before you encase them
in the wrappers.
Given how wildly blueberries
can vary in their acidity and sweet-
ness, be sure to taste a berry or two
before you make this recipe.
Youll want to increase the lemon
juice if the berry is relatively at,
and increase the sugar if the berry
is exceptionally tart. And by the
way, even though Im partial to
blueberries, this recipe would
work with almost any fruit.
Wonton wrappers are one of my
favorite cheating ingredients.
They are made out of the same
ingredients as Italian pasta and are
available in the dairy, Asian or
frozen food sections of many
supermarkets. I even use them to
make giant ravioli or individual
lasagna stacks. They must be
wrapped tightly, however, and not
left out uncovered for very long
when youre working with them.
Otherwise, theyll dry out. They
happen to freeze very well,
wrapped in plastic, then foil. I try
to keep a supply in the freezer at
all times.
Its very easy to make this
recipe. But you have to cook the
pot stickers soon after you make
them, and then eat them right
away. If you prepare them too far
ahead, the bottoms of the wrap-
pers get soggy. Ideally, you
should prep the pot stickers just
before dinner, then park them on a
sheet pan sprinkled with light
dusting of cornstarch until youve
finished the main course. This
keeps them from sticking to the
pan.
When youre ready for them,
they cook up in 5 to 8 minutes.
And if it turns out that you dont
eat every last one at a single sit-
ting, just put the leftovers in the
fridge. My daughter Ruthie swears
theyre delicious cold the next
day. I nd them fairly addictive at
any temperature.
BLUEBERRY POT STICKERS
Start to nish: 35 minutes
Servings: 4
3 cups blueberries, divided
1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek
yogurt
2 tablespoons orange liqueur
(optional)
2 tablespoons sugar, divided
4 teaspoons lemon juice, divid-
ed
16 square wonton wrappers
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup low-fat vanilla frozen
yogurt
Powdered sugar and mint sprigs,
to garnish
In a blender, combine 1 cup of
the blueberries, the yogurt, the
orange liqueur (if using), 1 table-
spoon of the sugar, and 2 tea-
spoons of the lemon juice. Puree
until very smooth, then set aside.
In a medium bowl, toss a heap-
ing cup of the remaining blueber-
ries with the remaining table-
spoon of sugar and 2 teaspoons of
lemon juice.
Spread out 4 of the wonton
wrappers on a work surface, keep-
ing the rest covered with plastic
wrap. Place a small mound of sug-
ared blueberries in the center of
each.
To form the dumplings, brush
the edges of the wrappers with
water. You can use a pastry brush,
but its also easy to just dunk your
nger in a glass of water and rub it
along the edges of the wrappers.
Lift 2 opposite sides of each
wrapper up and press together
above the center of the blueberry
mound. Bring the other two oppo-
site sides up and press them
together. This should form a little
box with the blueberries inside.
Pinch the wrapper together very
tightly at the seams to make sure
they are well sealed. Repeat with
the remaining blueberries and
wrappers.
In a large nonstick skillet over
medium, heat the oil until hot.
Arrange the wonton packages,
seam sides up, in the skillet. Cook
until the bottoms are golden,
about 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup
water, reduce the heat to low, cover
the skillet, and cook for 5 min-
utes. At this point the wonton
wrappers should look somewhat
translucent and cooked. If they
dont, add a little more water and
steam for another 2 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue to
cook until the water has complete-
ly evaporated and the bottoms of
the pot stickers are crisp and gold-
en. Gently loosen the pot stickers
and divide between 4 dessert
plates. Sprinkle lightly with pow-
dered sugar and top each plate with
a small scoop of frozen yogurt.
Garnish with the remaining blue-
berries and mint and serve with the
blueberry sauce on the side.

and/or associated equipment may pro-
mote the consumption and purchase of
these devices by children and minors by
increasing exposure, which may result
in threats to public health, safety and
welfare and may not be compatible with
existing and potential uses of similarly
zoned businesses, a staff report stated.
In order to ensure that uses within the
city remain consistent with existing
zoning and long-term planning goals,
it is necessary to review and study
potential revisions to the zoning ordi-
nance.
E-cigarettes are nicotine-delivery
products that dont contain tobacco.
They are available in many styles,
ranging from disposables that resemble
real cigarettes and can be purchased at
convenience stores for a few dollars, to
more complex vaporizers that can cost
hundreds of dollars, according to a staff
report. Theres so much unknown about
e-cigarettes, said Vice Mayor Richard
Garbarino, adding that nicotine patches
and gums are an already known way of
weaning smoking addiction without
having to actually smoke.
Were trying to step ahead of the
game and say were not going to have
them here unless we know theyre safe,
Garbarino said. We dont want to pro-
mote smoking of any kind. Its not a
good thing for our city since were try-
ing to promote healthy living. We have
enough junk in the air as it is.
The citys current regulations related
to prohibiting smoking cigarettes in
certain locations, and requirements to
have a license from the county to sell
cigarettes, dont apply to e-cigarettes
because they dont contain tobacco and
are not lit or smoked. The federal and
state governments are both in the
process of developing laws and regula-
tions related to e-cigarettes.
Preliminary 2009 data from the Food
and Drug Administration indicated labo-
ratory analysis of e-cigarettes found
they contain carcinogens and toxic
chemicals such as diethylene glycol.
More recently, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention provided a
report with data from the 2011 and
2012 National Youth Tobacco Survey
indicating e-cigarette use among middle
and high school students is increasing.
Mayor Karyl Matsumoto brought the
idea to City Manager Steve Mattas to
further study the impacts of e-cigarettes
and limit sales after reading a number of
articles on the topic.
Im concerned theyre becoming
more prevalent and there are signicant
health risks associated with e-ciga-
rettes, she said. I felt we needed to
take the opportunity to get out in front
of it and take a look at it. I support local
businesses but, from a health stand-
point, I want to take an opportunity to
very seriously look into them.
Meanwhile, Asia Gato, manager of
the newly opened The Vaping Buddha in
South City, said the citys stance is
based on fear. Her store specializes in e-
cigarettes and e-juices, the avoring for
the e-cigarette.
There isnt any medical evidence I
know of that vaping is equated to smok-
ing cigarettes, she said. We also dont
service customers under 18 and consider
e-cigarettes an alternative to smok-
ing.
Councilman Pradeep Gupta said it
will be important to not only look into
the health effects on those who use
them, but also the secondhand impacts.
Its difcult to distinguish limiting use
of particular substances since things
like sugar and butter are harmful, but
not worth regulating, he added.
We have to look at e-cigarettes to
see if theyre harmful in a substantial
way, he said. I dont want to compro-
mise freedom of choice.
He also added its troubling some kids
are becoming addicted to e-cigarettes.
Of the two businesses that just had
their business license applications
approved, one will share counter space
within an existing general retail use and
the other will sell only e-cigarettes and
associated equipment.
The vote requires four out of the ve

E-CIGS
Francisco-based Five Keys Charter
School.
The board backed the plan which
Supervisor Adrienne Tissier said t s
into the countys goal of really look-
ing at creative ways of helping people
and nding creative solutions.
The agreement calls for transferring
the four chosen inmates to the San
Francisco Jail where they will get both
computer-based learning and transi-
tional classroom schooling both while
in custody and after their release.
Munks said while the San Mateo
County jails have GED programs they
cannot deliver the same outcomes as
this charter school because many
inmates either leave before they nish
or take the tests before discharge but do
not later follow up to receive the docu-
mentation.
Another hindrance is simply a matter
of education and circumstances.
The average San Mateo County
inmate is a man or woman of color 18
to 25 years old and with a fourth- to
sixth-grade reading level, Munks said.
That inmate also tends to be from a
single-parent family, is economical-
ly disadvantaged and on the radar of
social services and law enforcement
since adolescence.
Without education in place, these ex-
offenders are challenged to qualify for
higher-paying jobs and having crime
free lives after release, Munks said.
Currently, the countys recidivism
rate hovers around 40 percent although
under realignment the denition, and
therefore the statistic, is under review.
The San Francisco charter school
a partnership with the Sheriffs
Department and the San Francisco
Unified School District is the
nations rst offender-oriented charter
school. While the program isnt limit-
ed only to San Francisco residents,
Munks said he and his staff chose to
make residency a factor for considera-
tion because it will help the offenders
continue even after release. San
Francisco is also the second-most com-
mon city of residence for local inmates
and Tissier pointed to the challenges
and costs of supervising out-of-county
offenders once they leave custody and
go home.
Other factors for school participa-
tion are having no more than 60 days
remaining on a sentence with no super-
vision conditions and a positive rec-
ommendation by the classication unit
as a low to medium risk.
Munks said an initial survey of those
interested and qualifying turned up
about 30 men and 10 women. Now,
with board approval in place, the clas-
sication unit will return to the list to
see who is still in custody and willing
to make the commitment.
We want the best opportunities for
success so motivation is a big issue,
Munks said.
The county will pay the San
Francisco Sheriffs Department the
daily rate of $135 per inmate for a
total, assuming all bed days are used,
up to $197,000. The money will come
from the existing state realignment
funding allocated to the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Ofce.
Munks said the price is pretty much
in line with the industrys average daily
rates for incarceration. Renting beds in
other counties run between $100 to
$110 per day so the programming
piece adds about $30 on top of that.
Once San Mateo Countys new jail in
Redwood City is open in 2015, Munks
said a similar charter school program
might be a good t.
We want to see what it looks like
and how it ts into our plan, he said.
With a number of San Mateo County
residents housed in the San Francisco
jail, there could also be the opportuni-
ty to swap inmates between the two
school programs, he said.
Tissier is also open to the idea of
establishing a county program in the
new jail if the pilot proves successful.
The jurys out but it seems to be a
good program and well give it a shot,
she said.

REUTERS FILE PHOTO
Miss Universe 2005 contestant Monica Spear of Venezuela, models during a swimwear
competition in Bangkok in this le picture taken May 26, 2005.
By Jorge Rueda
CARACAS, Venezuela Apopular soap-
opera actress and former Miss Venezuela and
her Irish ex-husband were shot and killed
and their 5-year-old daughter was lightly
wounded when they resisted robbers by
locking their car doors after it broke down,
police said Tuesday.
The slaying of Monica Spear, 29, and
Thomas Berry, 39, was the latest high-pro-
le crime in a country where people are reg-
ularly killed in armed robberies and where
rampant kidnapping has ensnared even for-
eign ambassadors and professional baseball
players.
Spear and Berry were slain Monday late
night near Puerto Cabello, the countrys
main port, while headed to Caracas after
their car hit a sharp object that had been
placed on the highway, the director of the
countrys investigative police, Jose
Gregorio Sierralta, told reporters.
He said the attack occurred after the car had
been lifted onto a tow truck and, seeing the
assailants coming, the family locked them-
selves in their car.
Sierralta said the couples daughter was
treated for a light leg wound and was with
relatives in Caracas. He said police in Puerto
Cabello had arrested ve suspects, some
under age 18.
Local media reports said the pair had a
good relationship despite being divorced
and identied Berry as the owner of a travel
agency.
Venezuela has one of the worlds highest
murder rates and violent crime is so rampant
that Venezuelans tend to stay home after
dark. Spears death triggered a wave of anger
on social media directed at the populist gov-
ernments poor record on crime.
