Biotech booms in Foster City

BioMed Realty, Illumina strike major campus development deal
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As the Bay Area continues to prosper

as a hot spot for growing biotech companies, BioMed Realty Trust is helping keep Foster City on the map after
signing a build-to-suit campus development deal with Illumina Inc.
Illumina, a global gene sequencing
technology firm, agreed Dec. 30 to
take 360,000 square feet of office, lab
and parking space at BioMeds 20-acre
Lincoln Centre development off State

Route 92 near the San Mateo-Hayward

Bridge.
BioMed, which has sites in Redwood
City, Brisbane, Newark and several in
South San Francisco, will boast over
3.2 million square feet of space in the
Bay Area thanks to the Illumina deal,
said BioMed spokesman Jim Cullinan.
When youre looking for these
types of build-to-suits, what weve
noticed is theres a couple of key
things life science companies are
looking for. One is the right amenities, their employees work long, hard
hours trying to make these innovative

products. Whether its fitness, food

and coffee or open air space, Cullinan
said. Thats important to these companies. And secondly, especially in
the Bay Area, its [to be] near easy
transportation hubs.
Centered between San Francisco and
Silicon Valley, Foster City is proving
an attractive site for tech company
headquarters like Visa Inc. and Gilead
Sciences, another biotech currently
expanding its campus.
BioMed purchased the site for $37

With some Burlingame residents concerned rentals are growing too expensive in
the city, the City Council held a study session and pubic forum on housing policy
options to try to figure out solutions to
some of these issues.
Councilmembers noted Monday night

that rent stabilization, or rent control, that

some have suggested might actually make
matters worse. At the same time, the city is

Council opens application window for vacancy Police reports

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A day after Robert Ross vacated his council seat, the city of San Mateo is beginning
to accept applications to find his replacement through an appointment.
The City Council decided at a special
meeting Monday that it would take applications, host public interviews Jan. 26 then
appoint a replacement for a term beginning
Feb. 2 and ending Dec. 7.
Ross, 57, announced Dec. 31 he would be
retiring due to heart-related health problems
after five years on the council, one term as
mayor and 28 years with the San Mateo
Police Department.
The council had several options but only
30 days to fill the position. Its decision to
appoint an interim representative will allow
the council to coincide its special election
with the general Nov. 3 election, during
which a two-year-term ending Dec. 2017
would be up for grabs.
Mayor Maureen Freschet said shes
pleased with the decision as it reflects the
values of the community and opens the
opportunity to everyone.
San Mateo has the good fortune of hav-

San Carlos schools closed

due to water main break

ing numerous qualified

individuals who have
already expressed interest
in this appointment and I
am confident we will ultimately appoint someone
who can hit the ground
running and help us continue the important business of the city without
Robert Ross too
much
delay,
Freschet wrote in an email.
The council had the option to hold a special mid-term election, host interviews in
closed session or require the appointee not
run in the next election.
Councilman David Lim suggested last
week the council appoint former mayor
Claire Mack, who retired in 2003 after 12
years on the council.
Mack told the Daily Journal she was
happy to serve and Lim said she agreed not
to run in the next election.
Councilman Jack Matthews previously
said he wasnt in favor of prohibiting the
appointee from running in November and
his fellow councilmembers concurred
Monday.
The council unanimously agreed to an

Local brief

A water main burst on a campus shared

by three San Carlos schools Monday
night, sending a plume of water 40 feet in
the air and forcing the closure of the three
schools Tuesday morning, a school principal said.
Staff at the school noticed the broken
water main on the schools campus at 750
Dartmouth Ave. between 10:30 p.m. and
11 p.m.
The campus is shared by Tierra Linda
Middle School, San Carlos Charter
Learning Center and Edison Montessori
School. Carlmont High School, next door

to the San Carlos campus, at 1400

Alameda de las Pulgas in Belmont, also
shut down Tuesday because of the main
burst, but was expected to reopen on
Wednesday, according to Sandra Rick,
administrative assistant to Sequoia Union
High School Districts superintendent Jim
Lianides.
Tierra Linda principal John Nazar said a
6-inch hole broke in the line, sending the
water spurting into the air and flooding
the schools parking lot.

open process that will seek applications

from all parties, including those who intend
to run for a seat in November as well as those
who would only be interested in serving as a
placeholder, Freschet said. San Mateo
prides itself on being a city that maximizes
community engagement and this open and
equitable process best serves that purpose,
whether we end up appointing a placeholder or a potential future candidate.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old, a
San Mateo resident and file a Statement of
Economic Interest (form 700) through the
Fair Political Practices Commission.
Those interested in vying for the position
will be allowed to make a 10-minute presentation at the special meeting starting 5:30
p. m. Monday, Jan. 26 in Council
Chambers.

Spa worker takes prostitution deal

A Redwood City spa employee accused
of propositioning an undercover detective
during a massage pleaded no contest to
misdemeanor prostitution and received no

against the owner.
Winnie Tse, 45, changed her plea the day

months court probation. She was also
ordered back Jan. 13 to testify at the preliminary hearing of Ting Sun, the owner
of two Redwood City spas including
Aurora Spa on Broadway where the detective went undercover in July.
Sun, 28, is charged with three counts of
pimping and two counts of keeping a

Thursday. She was arrested Aug. 8 at the

Hefty charges piled on landfill workers State breaks ground

Trio accused of faking waste weights, taking nearly $1.4M
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Three Ox Mountain Landfill

workers collectively defrauded the
company of nearly $1.4 million
by misclassifying waste and
improperly weighing trucks,
according to prosecutors who
charged the men with grand theft,
computer fraud and committing a
pattern of fraud and embezzlement.
Jose Oliver Lopez, 31, of Tracy,
Isaac Avelino Molina-Lopez, 26,
of East Palo Alto, and Rui M.
Navalhas and Orlando Duarte
Pires, both 44 and of Half Moon
Bay, all worked as weigh house
operators between January 2010
and August 2013. Their job was to
monitor and record customer transactions in and out of the landfill.
But, prosecutors contend, each
man in varying amounts stole

money by charging customers

higher rates while recording lower
ones in the company ledger to
pocket the difference. They
allegedly labeled construction
waste as green waste which has
cheaper disposal fees because it
has less environmental impact and
recorded only partial or incomplete truck weights and attributed
lighter cargo container weights to
certain customers.
The companys management
caught wind of the scheme after a
different employee noticed an
accounting discrepancy and management launched a full audit, said

Management confronted the
defendants who all but Pires admitted their involvement, Wagstaffe
said.
Lopez is accused of taking
$613,029, Molina-Lopez of tak-

ing $63,815, Navalhas of taking

$172, 638 and Pires of taking
$548,905 all together adding
up to $1,398,387.
Lopez has not yet been arrested
on his issued warrant but the other
three men were taken into custody.
Molina-Lopez posted a $25,000
bail bond and was released.
Navalhas and Pires were arraigned
Monday afternoon and, after proving their bail money was not illgained, a judge set the amounts at
$90, 000 for Navalhas and
$225,000 for Pires. Both posted
bail and are free from custody.
Navalhas and Pires delayed
entering pleas to their respective
charges and return to court Jan. 23
when Molina-Lopez is also scheduled to make his first appearance.
If convicted, the men face about
nine years in prison, Wagstaffe
said.

Man to trial for again allegedly grabbing woman

on high-speed rail
as climate solution
By Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO California broke

ground Tuesday on its $68 billion
high-speed rail system, promising
to combat global warming while
whisking travelers between Los
Angeles and San Francisco in less
than three hours.
The bullet train project, the first
in the nation to get underway,
faces challenges from Republican
cost-cutters in Congress and
Central Valley farmers suing to
keep the rails off their fields.
Others doubt the state can deliver
the sleek system as designed, and
worry it will become an expensive
failure.
But Gov. Jerry Brown said highspeed rail is essential to meeting
his latest goal: Encouraging the
nations most populous state to
get half its power from renew-

able energy by 2030.

Its not that expensive. We can
afford it. In fact, we cannot NOT
afford it, Brown said before signing a symbolic section of rail. All
these projects are a little touch and
go. Youll have these critics say
why spend all this money?
On the other hand I like trains, I
like clean air, Brown said. And I
like to enjoy the comfort of trains.
I like to get up and walk around and
shake hands. You cant do that in
your little car as you look in your
rear view mirror.
One of the biggest public works
endeavors in the country,
Californias high-speed rail is a
signature project for Browns
political legacy, and supporters
say it promises to boost the states
economy with thousands of jobs,
including many in the Central
Valley, which has been hard-hit by
recession and drought.

State improves slightly on water-saving efforts

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN
FRANCISCO

Californians did slightly better in

November on conserving water
during the drought, figures
released Tuesday show.
Overall water consumption
declined by 9.8 percent about
15 billion gallons in the month
compared to the same period a year
ago, according to a report by the
state Water Resources Control
Board that surveyed nearly 400

urban water agencies.

Water use typically drops in the
fall and winter as rainy weather
idles sprinklers. The northern part
of the state saw bigger savings
than the southern portion, mainly
because it received more rain in
November.
People shouldnt rest on their
laurels because water consumption may rise again in warmer
months, said Felicia Marcus,
chairwoman of the state water
board.

Man sentenced to two years for

theft of wallet during a funeral
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

An East Palo Alto man was sentenced

to two years of incarceration Monday
for stealing a wallet while working as
a caterer with his girlfriend at a
Belmont funeral reception last summer, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Robert Spiva, 31, pleaded no contest last month to two counts of identity theft in a plea deal with prosecutors
for no more than two years in prison,
according to the San Mateo County
District Attorneys Office.
Spiva will serve his prison term in
county jail and has 301 days of credit
for time served, District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said.

Robert Spiva

His
girlfriend,
Paige Boswell, 22,
pleaded no contest
to one count on
Dec. 5 and was sentenced that day to
three years probation and must enroll
in a residential drug
treatment program,
according to prose-

cutors.
The couple stole a victims wallet
with credit cards and a checkbook
while working as caterers during a
funeral reception at a Belmont home
on Aug. 2.
They charged items to the credit

cards over the next week until police

found the credit cards and other stolen
items during a search of their East Palo
Alto apartment on Aug. 8, prosecutors
said.
Officers also found a box with debit
cards and an insurance card stolen from
a Woodside couples mail weeks earlier. Both Spiva and Boswell were
already on probation for an identity
theft conviction in April 2013, prosecutors said.
Its really despicable conduct, they
specifically took advantage of the fact
that people would be at the funeral,
Wagstaffe said. It certainly warrants
the incarceration term that the judge
has given.

California Republicans looking

By Kevin Freking
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Republican members of

Californias congressional delegation on
Tuesday celebrated GOP control of
Congress, pointing to passage of drought
relief legislation for the San Joaquin Valley
as one possible benefit.
Still, GOP lawmakers werent promising
any breakthroughs, knowing that it may be
difficult to overcome filibusters or presidential vetoes without significant help from
Democratic lawmakers.
There are 14 Republicans in Californias

We will send bills to the president,
including the water bill, said Rep. Jeff

GOP takes charge in Congress,

runs into a swift veto threat
By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In a blend of pageantry

and politics, Republicans took complete
control of Congress for the first time in
eight years Tuesday, then ran straight into a
White House veto threat against their toppriority legislation to build the Keystone
XL oil pipeline.
Republicans condemned the unexpected
announcement, which came at the same time
they were savoring the fruits of last falls
elections and speaking brightly about possible bipartisan compromises in the two
years ahead.
Im really optimistic about what we can
accomplish, said Kentucky Sen. Mitch
McConnell, moments after he was recognized as leader of the new Republican majority on one side of the Capitol.
At the other end of the majestic building,
Rep. John Boehner of Ohio easily won a

Injuries force Reid to

account of his injury last
week that forced him to
miss the opening day of
the new Congress.
I didnt go bull riding.
I wasnt riding a motorcycle. I was exercising in

Harry Reid
Harry Reid said in a video
released Tuesday by his office. The former
boxer said after all his fights he never
looked as beaten up as he does now.
Reid suffered three broken ribs and facial
bones when an exercise band broke at his
home in Nevada. He also suffered a concussion, an injury that his office had not previously disclosed. On doctors orders, he was
not present when Republicans assumed the
majority in the Senate and GOP Sen. Mitch
McConnell became the new majority leader.

him. He said the 114th Congress would

begin by passing legislation to develop
more North American energy among top
priorities, adding We invite the president
to support and sign these bipartisan initiatives into law.
It was an offer the White House could and
did refuse in advance. If this bill passes
Congress, the president wouldnt sign it,
presidential press secretary Josh Earnest
said before Boehner spoke. He said the
measure would undermine a review process
underway by the administration.
The events spilled out rapidly on a day
that offered a glimpse of the political forces
at work in an era of divided government
the intraparty struggle among House
Republicans, the coordination that GOP
leaders in both houses showed in pursuing a
conservative agenda and the blocking
power of a Democratic president.
There was well choreographed pageantry
as well on a day Republicans installed a 5446 majority in the Senate and took 246 of
the 435 seats in the House, the most in more
than 60 years.

Around the nation

Ex-Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell
gets two years for corruption
RICHMOND, Va. Family members and
friends wept softly as former Virginia Gov. Bob
McDonnell told the judge at
his sentencing hearing that
he couldnt fathom any
deeper humiliation for taking bribes from a wealthy
businessman to promote a
dietary supplement.
Then, the tears mostly
stopped. Some even turned
to smiles when the judge
Bob McDonnell sentenced McDonnell to
two years in prison far
below the 10 years prosecutors originally
wanted for the Republican, who was once on
the short list to be Mitt Romneys vice presidential running mate. McDonnell, who held
his head in his hands and sobbed when he was
convicted in September on 11 counts of corruption, was stoic as U.S. District Judge
James Spencer delivered the sentence in a
courtroom packed with the former governors supporters.

A Republican-led House passed two

drought relief bills in the last congressional session. But the Senate opted not to take
up either bill, with opponents saying the
bills essentially took water from some constituencies and gave it to others without
solving the real problem a lack of water
due to extreme drought.
Democratic Rep. John Garamendi said a
better course of action would be to align federal policy with elements of a $7.5 water
bond that California voters approved in
November that calls for building two new
reservoirs, investing in conservation measures, water recycling and groundwater
cleanup.
But did he really expect that to happen?
Garamendi sounded a bipartisan note on the
sessions opening day. Its a new year and
its a new Congress, Garamendi said. We
have an opportunity to really do some positive work.
Republican control of both chambers also
will likely mean no federal funding for
Californias high-speed rail system for at
least the next two years.

U.S. probing two airstrikes
alleged to have killed civilians
WASHINGTON The U.S. military disclosed Tuesday that
it is investigating alleged civilian casualties from two
airstrikes in Syria and Iraq last year, and that it has dismissed 13 other allegations of civilian casualties from
airstrikes.
Air Force Col. Patrick Ryder, a spokesman for U.S.
Central Command, said the command has considered 18 separate allegations that U.S.-led coalition airstrikes killed or
wounded civilians between Aug. 8, 2014, when the U.S.
launched its air campaign against the Islamic State Group in
Iraq, and Dec. 30.
Thirteen allegations were deemed unfounded five
involving airstrikes in Syria and eight in Iraq, he said. Of
the five other allegations, three are still being assessed by
Central Command and two are under active investigation.
Ryder provided few details about the two cases under
investigation. He said they involved a total of fewer than
five alleged civilian casualties and said one incident
occurred in Iraq and the other in Syria. He did not provide the
dates of the two strikes but said both happened in late
December.

Despite pressure, EUs

sanctions against Russia could last
PARIS EU sanctions against Russia over the crisis in
Ukraine are cutting both ways: hurting Russia as well as
pinching some big European companies. But economic
relief isnt likely any time soon, diplomats and analysts
say, since EU divisions make the sanctions tough to overturn.
France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine are trying to set up
talks next week in Astana, Kazakhstan, to ease the tensions
behind the punitive measures that, along with slumping oil
prices and U.S. sanctions, have sent the ruble sinking. The
sanctions, and Russian retaliation, have in turn squeezed
corporate Europe including banks, oil companies,
machinery makers and food giants that do business with
Russia.
European Union rules complicate any attempt to modify
the sanctions put into place last year amid the separatist
violence in eastern Ukraine and after Russias annexation of
Crimea. A unanimous decision by all 28 EU nations is needed to change the sanctions, and analysts say such unanimity doesnt exist.

Clashes with IS in Iraq kill

23 troops and allied fighters
By Sinan Salaheddin
and Sameer N. Yacoub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD A suicide blast targeting Iraqi security forces and subsequent clashes with Islamic State
extremists on Tuesday killed at least
23 troops and pro-government Sunni
fighters in the countrys embattled
western province of Anbar, officials
said.
The days heavy toll for the Iraqi
forces came as they struggle in battles
against the Islamic State group and try
to claw back territory lost to the
extremists during the militants blitz
last year. Iraqs prime minister vowed
on Tuesday to dislodge IS militants
from all areas under their control.
Police officials said a suicide
bomber first struck a gathering of progovernment Sunni fighters near the
town of al-Baghdadi, about 180 kilometers (110 miles) northwest of
Baghdad, in the morning hours.
Soon after, IS militants attacked
nearby army and police positions,
setting off hours-long clashes. Police
and hospital officials said 23 were
killed and 28 were wounded in all on
the government side. They did not
give the death toll on the militants
side, saying only that the attackers
sustained some casualties and
declining to provide further details.
All officials spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not
authorized to speak to the media.
In Baghdad, Prime Minister, Haider
al-Abadi pledged that Iraqs forces
would retake all areas that fell to IS
during last summers stunning blitz.

REUTERS

A man walks past the site of a car bomb attack in Baghdad, Iraq.
We will emerge as victorious and
the day our lands are liberated is nearing, al-Abadi told a group of newlygraduated army officers, speaking at
the Military Academy as Iraq marked
Army Day. Our goal ... is that peace
and prosperity prevail in Iraq and end
this dark period in Iraqi history.
A parade was also staged to mark the
day, complete with jet fighters, helicopters and transport planes flying
overhead.
Meanwhile, the Islamic State group
announced killing eight men in
Salahuddin province north of Baghdad
for allegedly cooperating with government forces and airstrikes by the
U.S.-led coalition targeting the militant group.
The group posted photographs

showing eight blindfolded and bearded

men in orange jumpsuits, their hands
tied behind their backs. Five were
identified as police officers and two as
informants, but no information was
provided on the eighth victim. The
photos show the men by a riverbank
next to masked gunmen, under what
looks like a bridge. They are on their
knees as the gunmen appear to be
readying to shoot them. Other photos
show bloodied bodies of seven of the
men, lying on the ground.
The Islamic State group provided no
details on the purported killings. The
authenticity of the photos could not
be independently verified but they
were posted late Monday on a Twitter
account frequently used by the militant group.

All lives matter

ecent events in New York

City and Ferguson, Missouri,
have served to shed light on
how police ofcers deal with the public every day while also raising signicant questions. While the tandem
decisions of two grand juries not to
engage in prosecution for policerelated deaths have stirred nationwide
protests and a discussion on race relations, it is important to note that two
incidents in a nation as large as ours
do not necessarily indicate a widespread problem with policing
regardless of ones stance on the individual situations.
Policing is not an easy profession
by any means and is often fraught
with tough challenges and decisions
that must be made in split seconds.
The heightened rhetoric may or may
not be to blame for the recent ambush
shooting deaths of two ofcers in
New York City, but it certainly didnt
help.
Ofcers from San Mateo County
recently made the trek to New York
City to show support for the New
York Police Department and the fallen
ofcers. This is a natural reaction to

Editorial
such a situation. Police agencies are
like one big family and the outpouring of support in light of a tragedy
that befalls one department is cause
for show of support.
Here in San Mateo County, last
weeks incident in which a South San
Francisco man allegedly shot at ofcers highlighted the heightened
awareness of the dangers police
potentially face every day they are on
the job. And just this weekend, San
Francisco police ofcers shot and
killed a man holding what turned out
to be a replica handgun. It was
revealed Monday that the man penned
a note with his intentions to commit
suicide by cop. A situation like that
is always a challenging one for police
because of its emotional context but
the recent heightened awareness also
shed more light on the situation.
In a nation as large as ours, there
are constant interactions between
police and the public. Many that we
never hear about turn out positively.

Others result in arrests and the ongoing assurance that our streets are a little safer. A smaller amount end in conict over the result and the procedures
that led to it. These are the ones we
hear about most often and are the subject of concern, discussion and
protest.
While there are obviously instances
in which police do the wrong thing,
isolated incidents should not put a
negative light on the entire profession. Still, there is an opportunity to
reassess how police interact with the
public and a chance to revisit procedures in dealing with high-stress situations. Ask many police ofcers and
they will tell you that is constantly
on their mind.
The fact of the matter is that all
lives matter regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, economic
class or profession police included. It is not a question of us versus
them and any discussion of the recent
events should keep that squarely in
mind. We are all in this together and
any senseless taking of any life
should be cause for concern and
grief.

Letters to the editor

Life in Cuba
Editor,
I am responding to Guy M.
Guerreros letter (in the Dec. 30 edition of the Daily Journal) defending
Cuba and the Castros.
I went to college in Florida and
spent ve days in Havana before
Castro took power.
Later, as a naval ofcer, I was
aboard the command ship at the Bay
of Pigs and spent three weeks at sea
during this operation. I was still in
the Navy during the cuban missile crisis.
Now that the Soviet Union has collapsed they have released cables that
were exchanged between the Soviet
leader and Fidel Castro during the
height of the crisis. In one of the
communications, Fidel urged the
Soviets to strike in the name of the
revolution. Its clear that Castro
wanted to nuke America in the name
of the revolution.
Concerning Cuban health care, it is
available if you support Castro. His
government controls it and doles it
out only to supporters like Guerrero.

Pay for bikes on Caltrain

Editor,
Many people insist on carrying
their bikes at Caltrain. Shouldnt
they pay for that? Indeed: Caltrain is
said to run at its seating capacity
people have to stand for long time; it
will be wrong to remove seats to
make room for bikes. Meanwhile, in
some cities in the world people must
pay to carry luggage at public transportation. And here people must pay
to park on Caltrain. If people pay
similarly for their bike some will
keep carrying it on the train, but
some will ride connecting buses
instead. Bicyclists say their mode of
transportation is the most environmentally friendly, and that is true.
But buses run around anyway, and
unlike Caltrain, they run empty. I ride
them every day, and enjoy sitting on

Editor,
Could it be that the Obama administration is using the Saudis to kill the
fracking business in the United
States? Some voices are saying exactly that. You take the prots out of the
fracking business and the oil producing industry will shelve their rigs in
the United States, turning the clock
back 10 to 20 years. The lucky
bystander? Russia, who is going to
get more money for their oil and raise
their middle nger up high. The
unlucky bystander? The American taxpayers who will see their oil price
double and the potential tax revenue
from the fracking business gone,
complete with all its new jobs. Could
it be? With this transparent government for another two years creating
havoc and shooting from the hip, it
is time for Republicans to make sure
that this is just not going to happen.

Resolution?
P

opular culture once mirrored our societys values, but now the reverse is true: popular culture
determines societys values to a large extent
popular culture is pervasive, dominating virtually every
part of our lives. Jim Taylor, Ph.D., Your Children Are
Under Attack.
If I were to make any New Years resolutions, one would
be to never watch Family Feud again. Its not that my not
watching it would make any difference in the TV world, but
its the principle of the thing! Though I love game shows,
some time ago I decided to give it up because of its often
sexually explicit dialogue,
presented during early
evening hours when children of all ages can watch. I
recently tried it again to see
if anything had changed. I
should have known. There
was host Steve Harvey
delightfully titillating us
with his frequent references
to boobs, mens packages
and bedroom antics. He
often uses such opportunities to convince us how
clever he is at acting out
comedically.
Its odd that many of the contestants are associated with
religious organizations as pastors, counselors, etc. You
wonder what kinds of people of God are those who vie to
become contestants on such a TV show. Apparently it doesnt bother them to come right out and announce which body
part may be implicated in some sexually implicit question.
Youd think they wouldnt want to participate.
There was once a time when there were regulations about
such slime. At least a show like Family Feud, if allowed at
all, would have been offered at a much later hour when,
hopefully, most children would be asleep. The host would
not have been allowed to act all excited about his package and strut around like a fool during the dinner hour.
Jeffrey D. Sachs, author of The Price of Civilization,
explains: Until the 1980s, television networks had a mandate to serve the public good through public-interest programming, a fair balance in reporting and access to the airwaves through the so-called Fairness Doctrine. This mandate was completely eliminated in the wave of deregulation.
TV station owners became interested in one overriding
goal: making prots through advertising and more viewership. The fragile ability to promote public education and
awareness was abandoned. The arrival of our media saturated
age was given a major boost.
The list of all of the shows that exemplify sleaziness and
opportunism would be long. And commercials are not
exempt. The traditional ethics and values that built this
country like prudence, thrift, honesty, responsibility,
dignity, decency, sacrice and hard work are regularly denigrated and ridiculed on television, in movies and in other
media. It would be interesting to know how much this has
had to do with the pathetic lack of awareness of any guiding
principles of morality among so many young adults, as
described by David Brooks in one of his columns. The
default position, which many of them come back to again
and again, is that moral choices are just a matter of taste.
In earlier days, before the proliferation of TV and myriad
electronic devices, parents were generally supported by the
community and society in their efforts to impart decent values to their children. But todays young people see a very
different view of our culture in living color on big and
small screens, promoted by corporate interests whose god
is prot and see nothing wrong in sacricing our children
for them to practice their religion. The various facets of
the entertainment industry should be ashamed of themselves. By the way, where are the religious organizations
when it comes to such wanton contamination of the minds
of viewers?
I am not a pious zealot who is expounding on the sin of
sex outside of marriage or violence and vile language in the
movies. I am an outraged grandmother who is deeply concerned about the future of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and all other children who are having to grow up in
a values vacuum in a country where such ethical precepts as
responsibility, decency and morality have become just
words in the dictionary. I deplore self-serving and unscrupulous corporate interests that exploit viewers in the name of
the almighty dollar. I abhor how we have allowed the entertainment industry to take over a good part of our childrens
upbringing. A society that doesnt value its young people
enough to diligently protect them from despicable corporate exploitation is a society whose moral compass is spinning out of control and is heading for disaster.
In 1991, Miriam Meizdian wrote in Boys Will Be
Boys: The picture of the adult world imparted by TV is
often highly inaccurate, antisocial and devoid of any moral
or conceptual framework. I wonder what she would think
now.

NEW YORK The U.S. economy

ended last year on a tear, but financial
markets are saying the outlook for this
year is less bright.
Stocks continued to retreat from their
recent record highs on Tuesday,
weighed down by an ongoing plunge in
the price of oil. Bonds rallied as
investors bought the safest assets,
pushing the yield on the benchmark
10-year Treasury note back below 2
percent for the first time in three
months.
The moves suggest that investors
have little confidence the U.S. economy will continue to grow at the 5 percent annual pace reached in the third
quarter of last year. As a consequence,
company earnings will suffer. The reason for the gloomy prognosis is a
slowdown in growth elsewhere in
world, particularly Europe.
The slump in the price of oil, which
dropped well below $50 a barrel
Tuesday from $107 in June, has also
prompted a sharp shift in the mood of
investors.
Oil prices falling is a good thing for
the economy overall, said Randy
Frederick, managing director of trading
and derivatives with the Schwab Center
for Financial Research. But there is a

point when they fall far enough that it

could potentially be a problem.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
dropped 17.97 points, or 0.9 percent,
to 2,002.61. The index fell as much as
28 points earlier. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 130.01
points, or 0.7 percent, at 17,371.64.
The Nasdaq composite dropped 59.84
points, or 1.3 percent, to 4,592.74.
While drivers filling up at gas stations are welcoming lower oil prices,
investors are getting worried about the
consequences of the slump, which has
pushed the oil down by more than half
in six months. On Tuesday, the price of
oil fell $2.11 to $47.93, its lowest
level since April 2009.
If prices stay low, some companies
in the energy industry will go out of
business because the cost of extracting
oil will exceed its price. Not only will
that cost jobs, it will lead to lower
spending on plants and equipment.
On Tuesday, U.S. Steel said it will
temporarily lay off about 750 employees from two plants that make tubular
steel used in oil and gas drilling. The
Pittsburgh-based company said it is
making the moves in response to lower
oil prices and competition from foreign companies.
Investors also got some discouraging news on the economy.

Television makers design for

streaming video to stay relevant
By Anick Jesdanun
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS Does anyone just

watch TV anymore? The dramatic shift
toward online and mobile viewing is
driving television set makers to design
as much for streaming video as for
watching broadcast or cable channels.
Traditional TV is far from dead, but
these days viewers care less about
watching shows live and even prefer
saving certain series to watch all at
once in an evening or weekend of
binge-watching. Broadcast networks
and hundreds of cable channels share
viewer attention with thousands of
online services, including amateurs
creating their own series on YouTube.
Already, Netflix has outbid traditional
channels for hits such as House of
Cards. And Dish this week announced
it will sell online access to a bundle of
channels including live sports network ESPN for just $20 a month.
Online video will account for a third of
all video viewing in 2020, up from

about 10 percent in 2013, predicts The

Diffusion Group, a research firm that
specializes in Internet video.
So how to keep the television set,
that focal point of the American living
room for decades, relevant? Design for
online video.
At the International CES gadget
show this week in Las Vegas, TV makers unveiled new models with 4K resolution, or four times the clarity offered
by todays high definition TVs. They
are pushing the features even though
not a single TV channel is yet available in 4K. But Internet services such
as Netflix, Amazon and M-Go are starting to offer 4K video.
Sony on Monday promised to create
more 4K content to watch on those
sets. Four popular shows from its
entertainment division The
Goldbergs,
The
Blacklist,
Masters of Sex and The Night
Shift will soon be available in 4K
and its working with partners including Netflix and YouTube to deliver
more 4K streaming video. Sony also

launched an alliance with other TV

makers, content providers and distributors to create technical standards for
high-quality 4K video.
Its going to be the first format primarily driven by streaming, says Jim
Funk, a senior vice president at Roku
Inc. , which makes streaming TV
devices.
Beyond 4K, Sharp developed an
engineering trick to make its high-end
set look even sharper. Samsung added a
nanocrystal semiconductor layer to
make colors purer and the screen
brighter. LG is pushing organic LED
screens with richer colors and pure
black the kind typically limited to
smaller displays such as phones
because of price.
And Internet connectivity is becoming standard in sets, the way all TVs
are color now. LG and Samsung also
have ways to easily switch video
between TV and mobile devices, so
that if youre watching a movie on a
phone, you can continue it on your TV
as soon as you get home.

If the Shoe Fits: Coach buying Stuart Weitzman for $530M

By Anne DInnocenzio
and Michelle Chapman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Coach is expanding

its footwear collection.
The luxury handbag and accessories
company is buying Stuart Weitzman
Holdings LLC from private equity firm
Sycamore Partners for about $530 million.
Coach Inc. will also make up to $44
million in contingent payments to
Sycamore Partners if certain revenue targets are hit over the three years after the
deal closes.
The deal is expected to bolster
Coachs image while creating growth
opportunities as it struggles to turn
around its brand under new CEO Victor
Luis, who took the post in January
2014. For Stuart Weitzman, the deal will
expand its business overseas.
Its a rare acquisition for Coach,
which has long grown internally. While

analysts praised the deal, some worry

that it could be a distraction to its core
business, especially when efforts so far
to rework the designs havent seen much
traction.
(Coach) may have been better served
keeping its sole focus on its own transformation, of which we are seeing some
progress, but believe still has many
legs to unfold, wrote Randal J. Konik,
equities analyst at Jefferies in a report
published Tuesday.
Coach been suffering as shoppers
have defected to brands like Michael
Kors and Kate Spade for handbags that
are edgier but are priced similarly.
Coach has had five straight quarters of
sales declines including the last quarter
ended Sept. 27 when total sales were
down nearly 10 percent. North
American sales fell 19 percent for the
quarter.
But this past holiday shopping season, the intensity of promotions of
handbags increased, according to a

Credit Suisse report. In fact, Michael

Kors shares dropped nearly 11 percent
Tuesday after Credit Suisses Christian
Buss reduced the companys stock rating, citing an increase in discounting at
the brand this holiday season.
Coach previously announced it plans
to close about 70 underperforming
stores in fiscal 2015. Last year, the
company hired British designer Stuart
Vevers to inject new life into the brand.
His debut handbag collection for Coach
hit stores last September.
Coach has been trying to diversify,
but handbags still account for the bulk of
its business. For the year ended June 28,
2014, womens handbags accounted for
55 percent of total annual sales of $4.8
billion, while other products like
footwear and jewelry made up 9 percent
of total sales. Womens accessories,
which include cosmetic bags, made up
22 percent of its total business, while
mens products accounted for 14 percent,
according to its regulatory filings.

fourth straight month in November,

stoking investors concerns about
growth. Factory orders dropped 0.7
percent in November after falling by
the same amount in October, the
Commerce Department said Tuesday.
The weakness was due to lower demand
for primary metals, industrial machinery and military aircraft.
The
Institute
for
Supply
Management said Tuesday that its services index fell to 56.2 last month,
down from 59.3 in November.
For some, the drop in bond yields is
worrying because it signals a move
toward falling prices, or deflation.
Lower prices may seem attractive,
but they can damage a countrys
growth. Consumers and businesses can
start cutting back spending as they
wait for prices to drop further.
Oil prices are adding to the fear of
deflation spreading to the global economy, said Peter Cardillio, chief market economist at Rockwell Global
Capital. Thats what the real fear is all
about.
Bond prices, meanwhile, are rallying
in part because U.S. yields, even at
their low levels, are attractive to overseas investors.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note, which falls when prices rise,
dropped to 1.96 percent from 2.03 percent on Monday.

Business briefs
NFL players lawsuit versus
video-game maker allowed to advance
SAN FRANCISCO A federal appeals court gave the
green light Tuesday to a lawsuit by former NFL players
against video-game maker Electronic Arts over the use of
their avatars in the companys Madden NFL series.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with a district
court that rejected Electronic Arts attempt to have the lawsuit thrown out. The 9th Circuit said EA was not likely to
prevail on its argument that its use of the former players
likenesses was incidental and therefore protected by the
First Amendment.
We hold EAs use of the former players likenesses is not
incidental because it is central to EAs main commercial purpose - to create a realistic virtual simulation of football
games involving current and former NFL teams, Circuit
Judge Raymond Fisher wrote in the opinion.
The players, including former Los Angeles Rams quarterback Vince Ferragamo, said the Madden NFL game had players with their exact characteristics, but EA had not obtained
their permission to use the figures.
Redwood City-based Electronic Arts said in a statement
that it was disappointed by the ruling. We believe in the
First Amendment right to create expressive works - in any
form - that relate to real-life people and events, and will
seek further court review to protect it, the company said.
The 9th Circuit ruled against EA in 2013 in a similar lawsuit brought by former Arizona State University quarterback
Sam Keller over the companys use of college athletes likenesses without compensation.
The court, which allowed the lawsuit to continue, concluded that the company did little to transform the avatars
into works of art. Electronic Arts agreed last year to a $40
million settlement of the allegations by Keller and other
college athletes.

American and Hawaiian

airlines take aim at Delta in Tokyo
FORT WORTH, Texas The competition is heating up for
a U.S.-Japan route currently controlled by Delta Air Lines
Inc.
American Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines say they applied
to the U.S. Department of Transportation for the so-called
slot or landing right at Tokyos Haneda Airport. They say
Delta isnt fully using the slot since reducing flights
between Seattle and Haneda in October.
Fort Worth, Texas-based American Airlines Group Inc.,
which lodged a similar protest last fall, said Monday that it
wants to fly daily nonstops between Los Angeles and
Haneda. Hawaiian, owned by Hawaiian Holdings Inc., proposed to fly daily to Tokyo from Kona, Hawaii.
The Transportation Department said last month that it
would review the issue. Monday was the deadline for other
airlines to submit bids for the slot. Delta has asked the government to drop the review. Delta spokesman Trebor
Banstetter said Tuesday that the airline continues to grow its
international hub in Seattle and plans to resume a full schedule beginning in March.
Delta and United dominate service among U.S. airlines to
Japan, which has long been limited by an agreement
between both governments. U.S. airlines are allowed to
operate four daily flights to Haneda Airport.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The boys basketball season kicks off

tonight as teams from the Peninsula
Athletic League, West Bay Athletic League
and West Catholic Athletic League begin
their quest for league championships.
While everyones goal may be the same
to win a league title some have a better chance than others. Below is a breakdown of the favorites, the dark horses and as
well as a look at the rest of the teams in the
leagues.

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Peninsula Athletic League girls basketball season could be as wide open as its
been in years, with no clear-cut favorite
emerging, while the private schools playing in the West Bay Athletic League and
West Coast Athletic League will experience
different levels of success.

PAL South
Favorites: Burlingame, Mills
It seems every year the Panthers and
Vikings are the teams to beat in the PAL
South. Despite a 3-8 mark in non-league
play, Burlingame has played one of the
toughest preseason schedules in the division. They still have a potent inside-outside game with post Bassel Mufarreh and
Vinnie Ferrari. They should get a boost with
the return of Justin Gutang, who missed the
preseason with eligibility issues.
Mills, at 7-4, has consistently challenged for the title for the last decade.
Coach Rick Hanson is one of the best in the
league and he always manages to get his
team in position to challenge for the
crown.
These two met in the 2014 PAL tournament nals last year and, until someone
knocks them off, continue to be the
favorites.

PAL South
Favorites: Aragon, Menlo-Atherton
The Dons (5-3) game plan appears to simply out-gun the opposition. In their five
wins, Aragon is averaging 50.4 points per
game. In the Dons three losses? They average 15 points less. The Dons almost always
figure in the mix for the South title and, after
a few lean years, appeared poised to make a
run again.
The Bears (7-4) have fared well against a
tough preseason schedule, picking up wins
over Homestead, Menlo School and Palo
Alto. More impressive, however, is how
they played in their losses. They lost by
only 11 to Presentation, by nine to Monte
Vista-Danville and three to Newark
Memorial.
M-A finished fourth in the standings last
season and are looking to make a move to
the top this year.

Dark horses: Aragon, Hillsdale,

Menlo-Atherton, Sequoia
The Dons (4-8) are rebuilding following
their CCS championship last year. Theyve
taken their lumps against some tough
teams, but have shown what they are capable of having beaten a number of PAL North
teams. If Aragon can successfully get out
and run, other teams may be hard pressed to
keep up.
The Knights (9-2) have slowed a bit since
a 9-0 start, having dropped their last two.
But they have gotten in a habit of winning
already this season and, at the high school
level, condence can have a big effect on a
teams play. Hillsdale hasnt played the
most rugged preseason schedule, but you
cant take nine wins in 11 games for granted.

Dark horses: Capuchino, Hillsdale, Mills

DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE

Half Moon Bays Tommy Nuo is one of the best inside-outside players in the PAL. The Cougars
will need a strong season from him if they are to win both the PAL North and PAL
tournament titles this season.

The Mustangs (5-6) finished at 6-6 in

league play last season. After a strong start
to league play, they faded a bit down the
stretch. Capuchino has a strong outsideinside game of guard Brianna Deckman and
post player Xenia Collins. Deckman is averaging nearly 14 points per game, while
Collins is scoring an average of 10 points
while pulling down nearly 10 rebounds a
game.
The Knights (7-4) had a strong 2014 PAL
campaign, compiling a 10-2 league mark,
which was good for second place. This year,
legendary coach Mike Giardella will try to
get them to the next level. So far, the

Aguilera, Woodside too much for Aragon

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL

Aragon defender Caroline Yeh, left, tries to

slow down Woodsides Jillienne Aguilera, who
scored four goals and assisted on a fifth in the
Wildcats 7-1 in the Bay Division opener.

Before his teams Peninsula Athletic

League Bay Division opener against host
Aragon, Woodside girls soccer coach Jose
Navarrete said it was the beginning of a new
era at the school as he was integrating six
new starters.
Funny, it looked an awful like the previous few seasons.
Woodside dominated the first half, taking
a 3-0 lead at halftime, on its way to a 7-1
shellacking of the Dons.
We werent expecting that (result),
Navarrete said. I had seen Aragon play
before and theyre good.
Theyre really young. They remind me of
Woodside five years ago.
Woodside senior forward Jillienne
Aguilera terrorized the Aragon defense all

game long. Already with seven goals on the

season, Aguilera scored four more and added
an assist as the Dons had no answer for her
speed and finishing prowess.
Shes great to play with, said Woodside
center midfielder Lauren Holland, who
assisted on Aguileras first goal and has
played with her all four years at Woodside.
When she gets the ball, shes pretty
unstoppable.
Aragon coach Nick Dye was disappointed
with his teams showing. The Dons put
together a solid non-league schedule, going
4-2-1 but were overwhelmed by the
Wildcats.
I dont think we gave a real good account
of ourselves. Were better than that, Dye
said. We didnt establish a rhythm early
on. Once we lost control of the game,
[Woodside is] a dangerous team.
The final score would have been a lot

worse if not for the goaltending of Aragon

goalkeeper Jennifer Parker, who made several spectacular saves, finishing with six.
She was tested right off the bat as she
thwarted an Aguilera shot in the second
minute, but that would be one of the few
times Aguilera was denied, as she scored four
goals on eight shots.
Six minutes after she was denied by
Parker, Aguilera got her revenge. Holland
ran onto a ball in the Aragon half of the
field, holding off three defenders before
sliding a perfect through pass into space.
Aguilera ran on, went around a charging
Parker and slotted home the goal for a 1-0
Woodside lead in the eighth minute.
Lauren Holland played her best game in a
year and half, Navarrete said, citing
injuries that plagued his best midfielder last
season.

Panthers hold off M-A in Bay opener

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Burlingame didn't have many opportunities, but made the most of just two shots on
goal, converting both to tally a 2-1 victory over Menlo-Atherton in Tuesday's
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
girls soccer opener.
The visiting Panthers (1-0 in PAL Bay, 4-12 overall) got goals from Alexis Prieto and
Gaby Walker then held off a late surge by
home-team M-A. The Bears scored late in the
second half on a floater by Kelsey Reed, but
missed a golden opportunity to tie it when
Sarah McLeods header sailed just over the
crossbar in extra time moments before the
final whistle.
When they scored that goal, we all noted
one of the most dangerous scores is 2-1,
Burlingame head coach Phillip De Rosa said.
They need one to tie and were trying to hold
it back. When they put that intensity on us,
they had us on our heels for a while.
But Burlingame goalkeeper Nina Chikanov
delivered big time. The fourth-year starting
senior and two-time PAL Bay Division all-leaguer had 11 saves in the match, including
eight in the second half with the Bears (0-1, 32-1) dominating in time of possession
throughout.
She made some crucial saves and obviously kept us in there, De Rosa said. She's very
important to our team.
The mere loss of the match by M-A was
overshadowed by two injuries which first-year
head coach Jason Luce classified as serious.
In the first half, sophomore attacker Katie
Guenin collided with Burlingames Katie
Terrones, causing Guenin to hit the turf in
pain. She walked off the field under her own
power but was carted from the sideline minutes
later with what Luce said was likely a broken
collarbone. Then to start the second half, junior defender Talia Missan got tangled up and
fell to the ground with an ankle injury. Missan

was assisted from the field and was also carted

off with her ankle wrapped in ice.
In both instances, junior Julia Moreton
sprung from the bench to fill in, helping M-A
regroup. And with a tremendous performance
from Reed who seemed to touch the ball
every time Burlingame attempted to gather
any offensive momentum the Bears almost
pulled off an unlikely comeback.
I'm expecting our club to step up and we
showed that today, Luce said. Im confident
our group will be OK.
The Panthers had just enough offensive
opportunities to prevail, however, and got on
the board early to keep the pressure on M-A.
In the 15th minute, Prieto took a pass from
the bright orange cleats of Walker and booted
a high arcing shot from 20 yards that floated
over the head of M-As goalkeeper.
M-A hammered the ball back downfield to
create a quick opportunity, but couldnt convert. In the 20th minute, Margaret Child had a
crisp shot deflect off the upright, pulling
Chikanov out of position as the rebound went
directly to senior Amanda Wiseman, but her
shot at the empty net sailed wide left.
In the 33rd minute, M-A had the first of three
opportunities within a two-minute window
halted by Chikanov, as she denied each
McLeod, Josephine Cotto and Child to help
send the Panthers into halftime with a 1-0 lead.
Chikanov had her best save early in the second half to again preserve the lead. In the 48th
minute, McLeod fired a low shot toward the
corner of the goal, but Chikanov extended
headlong with a dive to get a hand on it and
push it out of bounds. The Bears would continue to dominate possession and had several
good looks, with nothing to show for it.
Then in the 67th minute, Burlingame produced a key insurance goal. It was the same
cast of characters who paired on the first
goal, only this time it was Prieto tabbing the
assist for Walker, who booted a cross-shot
from 20 yards away that found the far right
corner high in the net.

I saw the through ball and put a hook right

in there, Walker said. I kind of got a lucky
shot there.
Walker has been one of Burlingames most
skilled scorers, totaling three goals thus far
on the young season. For Prieto though, the
game was her breakout performance as it was
her first start of the season in returning from
an ankle injury.
Reed got M-Aon the board in the 73rd minute
on an unlikely opportunity. She had a throw-in
deflected back towards her and sent a floater
from 30 yards out to break up the shutout.
The Bears cranked up the intensity in the
final minutes but could not convert despite
several good opportunities, including the
McLeod header that missed just over the
upright in the waning moments.
It's definitely a little frustrating, but I
think it shows that our team has a lot of
potential in what we can accomplish this season, Reed said. We can do better than this.
The next time we play them were just going
to finish the game like we shouldve and
hopefully come out with a win.
The two teams meet again on Jan. 29 at
Burlingame.
Clearly, it was a back-and-forth game the
whole game and we did very well against a
very good opponent, De Rosa said.

Carlmont 3, Hillsdale 2
The Scots thrilled in their PAL Bay Division
opener, overcoming Hillsdale for a 3-2 win in
the games final seconds.
With the game deadlocked in extra time,
Carlmonts Sage Shamsai stole and Hillsdale
possession and got the ball downfield for
Soha Saids second goal of the game on an
assist from freshman Lauren Morris.
The final whistle blew on the ensuing
kickoff.
Brittany Zelnik also scored for the Scots in a
back-and-forth battle which saw Hillsdale tie it
twice, including at 2-2 in the 72nd minute.

BOYS
Continued from page 11
The Bears (6-6) played well in the preseason, picking up some big wins over the
likes of Sacred Heart Prep and Valley
Christian. They have been competitive in
most of their losses as well, suffering a 10point defeat to Sacred Heart Cathedral, 5246 to Palo Alto and a 42-32 loss to Half
Moon Bay. Put it this way, M-A is one of
those teams no one looks forward to playing.
The Cherokees (7-2) could have the best
player in the league in 6-6 guard/wing Chris
Bene, who has the length to dominate
inside on both ends of the court, but also
more than enough handle to take defenders
off the dribble. He is a nightmare of a mismatch and if others around him can help out,
Sequoia could be very dangerous.

Rest of the division: Capuchino, Carlmont,

San Mateo, Woodside
The Mustangs (3-7) dont have a lot of
wins, but they have been mostly competitive this season. Capuchino returns six
players from last years squad that saw them
go winless in division play.
The Scots (6-4) come into the start of
league play with a head of steam, having
won their last three games.
The Bearcats (5-7) can shoot it from
downtown as evidenced by their barrage
of 12 3-pointers in a win over Oceana, but
San Mateos lack of size could prevent them

Continued from page 11
Aragon turned away a few more attacks
before Aguilera doubled the Woodside lead
in the 23rd minute. She pounced on a loose
ball deep in the Aragon end, ran by one
defender and blasted a shot from 15 yards
out into the upper right corner for a 2-0 lead.
And Aguilera wasnt done. Six minutes
later, she capped her first-half hat trick. As
Seasayde Young held off a defender, Aguilera

from going to a plan B is the outside jumper

isnt falling. San Mateo could easily have
more wins as they have suffered six defeats
by a combined 17 points.
The Wildcats (1-7) have been competitive
in several losses so far this season but it
hasnt translated into more than one win.

PAL North
Favorite: Half Moon Bay
The Cougars (11-0) are not only the heavy
favorites to win the North, they are the
favorites to win the PAL tournament at the
end of the regular season. In just four seasons, coach Rich Forslund has turned the
Cougars into one of the best public school
programs in the Central Coast Section, having won at least 20 games during each of
Forslunds years. The Cougars are big, can
run, have a big inside presence in Case
DuFrane, a slasher in Tommy Nuno and
probably the best guy youve never heard
of: Austin Hilton, who leads the Cougars
with 14 points per game.

Dark horses: Terra Nova, Westmoor

The Tigers (7-4) usually have the size to
match up with the likes of Half Moon Bay
with 6-5 power forward Ben Vidali, 6-6 center Brian Montgomery and 6-2 wing Gabe
Vargas. They also feature one of the best
shooters in the league as well in 6-3 guard
Jared Milch, who is averaging about 15
points per games.
The Rams (6-4) won ve of their last six
non-league games, but are coming off a 24point loss to Aragon last week. If Westmoor
can score in the 50s, the Rams have a shot
at beating anybody.
leaked into an open space at the top of the
Aragon penalty box. Young found her with a
perfect pass and Aguilera did the rest, running past the Aragon defense once again and
tapping home her third goal of the half.
The halftime break did little to slow
Aguileras momentum. Six minutes into the
second half, it was Aguilera providing the
help as she made a run from near midfield,
carried the ball to the endline and delivered a
perfect cross in front of the goal that Alex
Augulis bodied into the back of the net for a
4-0 Woodside advantage.
Aragon, however, played much better in
the opening 20 minutes of the second half,

THE DAILY JOURNAL

The rest of the division: El Camino, Jefferson, Oceana, South City

The Colts (0-12) have struggled to score
in preseason, failing to eclipse the 40point mark in half their games.
The Indians (4-7) are 0-4 against PAL
South schools in the preseason, but have
gone over the 50-point mark four times and
are 3-1 in those games.
The Sharks (3-6) are small but scrappy.
Sophomore guard Isiah Margate is slick
enough to get his when he wants, but he will
be tasked with getting others involved.
The Warriors (2-8) have struggled against
stiff preseason competition, but have three
losses by less than 10 points, including a
pair of 1-point defeats.

Private schools
Crystal Springs Uplands School
The Gryphons (3-4) go about 10 deep,
with everyone on the roster posting a scoring average. TJ Ram leads the team in scoring with 9.3 points per game. AJ Qui is second at 8.8.
After winning three of their rst four
games, the Gryphons enter West Bay
Athletic League play on a three-game losing
streak.

Menlo School
The Knights (6-3) can play with anyone
in CCS and will factor in the race for the
West Bay Athletic League title. Two of their
losses came to teams from Southern
California in the Chaminade tournament in
Hawaii. Their other defeat was a 6-point
loss to Half Moon Bay, 50-44.
gaining a lot more possession and putting
together a semblance of offense. In the 50th
minute, the Dons avoided the shutout as
freshman Sonia Chan slammed home a
Maddie Eclevia cross.
Chan had one of the best performances of
the game for Aragon, as her ball skills left
several Woodside defenders grasping at air.
Shes a freshman with a huge future, Dye
said. She has fantastic ball skill. Shes
going to be a big player for us this year.
The Dons, however, made a few defensive
mistakes late and Woodside made them pay.
Aguilera picked up her fourth goal of the
game in the 70th minute. Danielle Carles

Sacred Heart Prep

The Gators (7-2) have arguably the best
player in San Mateo County in wing Corbin
Koch. He went for 27 in his teams 77-65
loss to Serra and is averaging just under 20
points per game. Mason Randall (14.9),
Connor Moses (12.3) and James McLean
(11.2) are all averaging double-digits in
scoring as well. Offensively, SHP is averaging 70 points per game and will challenge
for not only the WBAL crown, but the CCS
Division IV title as well.
The WBAL, however, is one of the most
competitive leagues top to bottom in
CCS. Any one of ve teams in the eightteam division have legitimate chances to
win the league championship. Eastside
College Prep and Woodside Priory are a
combined 16-1 in preseason, while Harker
School has already pulled off some impressive wins.

Serra
The Padres (8-2) should, once again, gure in the mix for the WCAL title and looked
ready for league play with a come-frombehind victory over Sacred Heart Prep
Saturday.
Forward/center Trevor Brown has developed into a consistent scoring threat and
his jumper from 8 to 10 feet out is nearly
automatic.
The road to the league title is the same
every year: defend the home court and steal a
couple on the road. Mitty has been the class
of the league for the last few years, but the
Padres have been right there. Expect nothing less from the countys best team.
cross found Aguilera unmarked in front of
the Aragon net. Her one-timer was knocked
down by Aragons Parker, but she couldnt
control the rebound. Aguilera stayed with
the play and poked it past Parker for a 6-1
Woodside lead.
Tiffany Silvestri made it 7-1 a minute later
when she carried the ball from the right
wing and guided home a shot just inside the
far left post.
They got into a rhythm quicker than us,
Dye said. And when you dont stop their
stronger players, theyre going to make you
pay.

Knights are doing it with defense, allowing less than 36
points per game to the opposition.
The offense is led by a pair of sophomores: Raichel Tjan is
averaging a team-leading 11.2 points per game, while
Caelynn Hwang is scoring just under seven points per game.
All told, Hillsdale has six players averaging five points or
better.
The Vikings (5-7) have taken their lumps this season, but
expect them to be in nearly every game in league play with
the best one-two tandems in the division: sophomore guard
Aubrie Businger and junior post player Julia Gibbs. Businger
is averaging a double-double with 13.3 points per game and
nearly 12 rebounds. Gibbs adds nearly 10 points per game.

The rest of the division: Burlingame, Carlmont, San

Mateo, Sequoia, Woodside
The Panthers (1-7) have been thumped more often than not
this season, suffering losses by 15 or more points in five of
them. The combined record of Burlingames preseason schedule is 51-25.
The Scots (5-7) have lost three of their last four going into
league play. None of their seven losses, however, have been
bad losses. Carlmont has lost three of their games by a
combined 13 points.
The Bearcats (1-6) may have only one win, but they played
a fairly brutal preseason schedule, with losses to Los Gatos,
Sacred Heart Prep and Oak Grove. In five of their losses, however, San Mateo has failed to eclipse the 30-point mark.
The Cherokees (3-10) have struggled defensively thus far
this season, giving up 50 or more points in nine games and
60 or more in five games.
The Wildcats (2-4) are already halfway to last years win
total. They have posted a pair of 1-point wins, but have struggled to score points, averaging just 28 points per game.

PAL North
Favorites: Half Moon Bay, Oceana
The Cougars (8-2) have dominated the opposition in their
eight wins, allowing 30 points or more to only two teams.
The Sharks (8-1) like to run and gun and are averaging nearly 60 points per game. Oceanas lone loss came to a 7-3 Leigh
squad.

Dark horses: El Camino, Terra Nova, Westmoor

The Colts (6-3) head into league play with a lot of confidence, having won four of their last five, averaging nearly 60
points per game in their last three.
The Tigers (4-6) are hoping to take the next step in their
rebuilding project after a 7-5 record last year. Senior Arianna
Sheehy leads Terra Nova with 13 points per game, but a sophomore and a freshman are the Tigers next two leading scorers:
sophomore Tia Peacock and freshman Venus Pascua are averaging nearly eight points per game.
The Rams (5-5) will look to defend their PAL North and
tournament crowns a year after going undefeated in PAL last
year: 12-0 in league and 3-0 in the PAL tournament. Yazmeen
Goo returns for her senior year and could be one of the best in
the PAL, averaging 16 points during the preseason. Tiara
Cobbins gives Westmoor an intimidating defender in the
post, who also can get on a hot streak offensively.

Wednesday Jan. 7, 2015

The rest of the division: Jefferson, South City

The Indians (1-6) went over the 40-point mark only twice
during the preseason going 1-1 in those games, although
they are coming off a 15-point win over Burton two weeks
ago. They get a stern test in the league opener against Half
Moon Bay.
The Warriors (2-8) have had trouble stopping teams in the
preseason, giving up 50 points or more in five games.

Private schools
Crystal Springs Uplands School
The Gryphons (1-2) have played a pretty lean preseason
schedule. After scoring 44 in a season-opening win, they
have managed a total of 35 points in a pair of losses.
Normally playing the WBALs Skyline Division the
lesser of the two WBAL divisions would bode well for
Crystal Springs chances. Unfortunately, the Gryphons will
have to face Kings Academy (10-1) twice a team many
believe to be among the best in the entire WBAL.

Mercy-Burlingame
The Crusaders (6-2) have had a much more successful preseason. Also in the WBAL Skyline Division, the Crusaders
have won a number of close games by three points over
Etna, three points over ICA, two points over Woodside and by
one point over Mother of Mercy.
Sophomore Sala Langhi has carried Mercy-Burlingame
offensively, averaging over 14 points per game. Older sister
Victoria Langi, a senior, is scoring just under 10 points per
game.

Menlo School
The Knights (7-2) have scored points in bunches this season, scoring 70 points or more three times and are 4-1
against PAL South teams. Sophomore Sam Erisman paces
Menlo with nearly 14 points per game, while McKenzie
Duffner is adding an average of 12 points and seven rebounds
per game.
The WBAL Foothill Division has been Pinewoods league
title to lose for the better part of a decade, so any team having
designs of winning the WBAL title will have to go through
the Panthers.

Note Dame-Belmont
The Tigers (8-2, 0-1) are among the best Division IV teams
in CCS, but will have to battle to finish in the middle of the
pack in the rugged WCAL. They were thrown into the fire
immediately as they opened league play Tuesday against
perennial league champ Mitty. The Tigers are scrappy and get
after it defensively, as they have allowed less than 30 points
per game. The Tigers have six players averaging five points
or more, led by Emma Pastorinos nearly 11 points per game.

Sacred Heart Prep

The Gators (9-2) are another team expected to factor into
the WBAL Foothill Division race. Both of their losses have
come at the hands of Kings Academy, but SHP has been formidable in their nine wins, averaging nearly 50 points per
game.
The Gators could experience some growing pains this year,
however. Not only are they breaking in a new coach, but there
are three freshmen, two sophomores and only three juniors
on the eight-man roster.
Riley Hemm leads the way offensively for the Gators, scoring an average of 15 points per game. Maata Makoni is averaging 10 points a contest.

Johnson, Martinez, Smoltz, Biggio elected to Hall of Fame

By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Randy Johnson,

Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz, a
trio of star pitchers who dominated in an era of offense, were elected to baseballs Hall of Fame on
Tuesday along with Craig Biggio,
the first time since 1955 writers
selected four players in one year.
The Big Unit, Martinez and
Smoltz easily earned induction on
their first tries, and Biggio made it
on the third attempt after falling
two votes shy last year. Steroidstainted stars Roger Clemens,
Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and
Sammy Sosa remained far from
election.
I realize the cloud has covered a
multitude of so many different
people, and I realize that the media
and people have a hard time distinguishing
and determining,
Smoltz said.
Johnson, a five-time Cy Young
Award winner with 303 victories
and 4,875 strikeouts, was selected
on 534 of 549 ballots by veteran
members of the Baseball Writers
Association of America.
The Hall of Fame was never
something that I surely ever
thought about, said Johnson,
who has been pursuing a photography career since his retirement.
The left-handers 97.3 percentage was the eighth-highest in the
history of voting.
I dont think people quite
understand how difficult it is to be
6-foot-10 and be throwing a ball
60 feet, 6 inches away, Johnson
said. In order to do that, you have
to consistent with your release
point and where youre landing
and your arm slot and all that. For
someone 6-1, 6-2, theres less
body to keep under control, so its
a lot easier.
Martinez, a three-time Cy Young
winner with flamboyance to go
along with his fastball, appeared
on 500 ballots (91.1 percent).
Martinez was 219-100, struck out
3,154, led the major leagues in
ERA five times and in 2004 helped
the Boston Red Sox to their first
World Series title in 86 years.
Eleven inches shorter than
Johnson, Martinez pitched with
exceptional intensity.

REUTERS FILE PHOTOS

Clockwise: Pedro Martinez (three-time Cy Young Award winner), Randy

Johnson (five-time Cy Young Award winner), Craig Biggio (four-time Gold
Glove and four-time Silver Slugger award winner) and John Smoltz (1996
Cy Young award winner) were all elected to the baseball Hall of Fame
Tuesday. It marks the first time since 1955 the Baseball Writers Association
of America has elected four players on a single ballot.
My body would change half an
hour before the game, and I would
just become this serious, focused
person because my dad reminded
me youve got to be serious about
your job, Martinez recalled. I
saw everybody as an enemy, and I
saw everybody as like in a jungle:
You just kill to survive. And
thats the intensity and the focus I
had to keep to do it every day on a
day-to-day basis. And thats the
kind of chip on the shoulder that
people thought I had, even
though that was my way to concentrate and do the day to day

things that I did in baseball.

Smoltz was picked on 455 ballots (82.9 percent) and will join
former Atlanta teammates Greg
Maddux and Tom Glavine, who
were inducted last summer along
with Chicago White Sox slugger
Frank Thomas. Smoltz, the 1996
NL Cy Young winner, was 213-155
with 154 saves, the only pitcher
with 200 wins and 150 saves. He
went 15-4 in the postseason.
Biggio appeared on 454 ballots,
42 more than the 75 percent needed and up from 68.2 percent in his
first appearance and 74.8 percent
last year. A catcher who shifted to

second base and spent three seasons in the outfielder, he had

3,060 hits and 668 doubles in 20
big league seasons, all with the
Houston Astros.
The quartet will be inducted in
Cooperstown on July 26. The
BBWAA had not voted in four
players together since selecting
Joe DiMaggio, Gabby Hartnett,
Ted Lyons and Dazzy Vance 60
years earlier.
Mike Piazza fell 28 votes short
but increased his percentage to
69.9 from 57.8 in 2013 and 62.2
last year.
Clemens received 37.5 percent

and Bonds 36.8 percent. Clemens,

the only seven-time Cy Young winner, started at 37.6 percent in 2013
and dropped to 35.4 last year;
Bonds, the only seven-time MVP,
began at 36.2 and fell to 34.7.
McGwire, in his ninth and nextto-last year of eligibility, received
10 percent, down from 11 last year
and less than half his peak of 23.6
percent in 2008. Sosa was on 6.6
percent of the ballot, down from
12.5 in 2013 and 7.2 last year but
above the 5 percent threshold for
remaining on next years list.
Jeff Bagwell was at 55.7 percent, followed by Tim Raines at 55
percent and Curt Schilling at 39.2
percent. Other players included
Lee Smith (30.2), Edgar Martinez
(27), Alan Trammell (25.1) and
Mike Mussina (24.6).
Don Mattingly received 9.1 percent in his 15th and final appearance on the ballot. Under a change
made by the Halls board last summer, players eligibility was cut
from 15 years to 10 but the 11-15
group was grandfathered.
Gary Sheffield (11.7 percent) and
Nomar Garciaparra (5.5) will remain
on the ballot. Among the 17 firsttime eligibles who will be dropped
are Carlos Delgado (3.8 percent) and
players association head Tony
Clark, who did not get any votes.
Ken Griffey Jr., Trevor Hoffman
and Billy Wagner are among the
players eligible for the first time
in next years ballot.

Southern chefs look north for inspiration

By Michele Kayal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Souths love affair with fried chicken, collard greens,

gumbo and biscuits is being challenged and changed by
an unlikely influence. The North.
Which may seem strange or even heretical until you
stop to consider that Southern food has always been a confluence of cultures, an amalgamation of its African, European and
Native American locals. It just happens that this time around
its the North that is infusing its ideas in the culinary mix.
Credit for this fresh face of Southern cooking goes to a
growing band of chefs some born in the South, many not
who are looking North as they reinterpret the classics.
Take Vivian Howard, for example. The 35-year-old owner of
the Chef and Farmer restaurant in Kinston, North Carolina, is
a true Southerner, the daughter of a North Carolina hog farmer
whose grandmother baked candied yams with butter and
brown sugar. Yet the yams Howard serves are smashed and double fried, like a Caribbean plantain, a reflection as much of
her time spent cooking in New York as of her heritage.
In Louisville, Kentuky, a Korean-American from Brooklyn
marries sorghum and local lamb and bourbon! with
Asian flavors. In Georgia, Canadian Hugh Acheson showcases the Mediterranean potential of Southern staples such as
ramps, morels and veal sweetbreads. And in Carrboro, North
Carolina, Matt Neal whose dad Bill Neal helped revive
Southern cooking in the 1980s channels his love for New
York City in buttermilk biscuits topped with pastrami.
Many argue that Southern food is the countrys only true
regional cuisine. But much of its distinctiveness comes from
its ability to blend. African slaves brought their rice growing
culture, laying the groundwork for iconic dishes like gumbo
and jambalaya. Sweet potatoes resembled the yams they knew
from home, and were used to fill European items like pies.
Native Americans contributed their knowledge of the land and
its ingredients, showing newcomers how to use corn for foods
like cornbread and grits.
These rich food traditions often are what attract chefs from
other parts of the country. At Louisvilles Magnolia 601,
Brooklyn-born Edward Lee seamlessly blends tradition with
the flavors of his Korean heritage in dishes like crab cakes
with green tomato kimchi and mango with red onion and
daikon sprouts. But rather than corrupting tradition, Lee says
such innovation moves it forward.
Im not a Southerner and I dont cook Southern food, he
says. I cook my food with a nod to Southern food and culture.
Im playing on their culture and history. Im not making it
better or worse. Im just doing something different.
In North Carolina, New Jersey native Andrea Reusing projects memories of childhood trips to New Yorks Chinatown
into whole fried local flounder and tea-cured local chicken.
She plays on a Southern classic with Korean-style fried chicken wings that offer a brittle crunch and a sweet-spicy glaze.

Many chefs are putting a fresh face on Southern cooking by

looking north to reinterpret the classics. For example, baby
collards are flash fried like potato chips.
Country ham shows up in fried rice and field peas dot black
sticky rice instead of hoppin John.
A lot of these Asian flavors are also Southern flavors,
Reusing says. Crunchy fried chicken, salty ham, a great
whole fish. Peanuts. There are so many similarities.
At his two Athens, Georgia, restaurants, Acheson adds
French, Italian, Spanish, even North African flavors to
Georgia ingredients, with dishes like grilled octopus and purple cape beans, cioppino-style local seafood with stewed collards and roasted local chicken with red peppers and sesame.
He even has kimchi creamed collard greens, a nod to the classic creamed spinach. Such interpretations, Acheson says, fit
right into the Souths history.
Eighty percent of what we think of as Southern food is
from slaves who were not indigenous, he says. Its amazingly geographically different, inflected from so many parts
of the world.
While some may think of the newcomers as carpetbaggers,
Howard is flattered by the attention. Playing with Asian fla-

vors or adding Mediterranean accents not only helps develop

the regions food culture, she says, but also honors it. It says
a lot about what people have come to appreciate about our
regional cuisine here.
Howard is one of a growing number of native Southerners
who traveled or lived outside the region, then returned home
with fresh ideas. Trained in New York at WD-50 and JeanGeorges Vongerichtens Spice Market, Howard initially tried
to bring Northern dishes to the South. The response was lukewarm.
So she began embracing all the things shed grown up on
collards, sweet corn, cucumbers, field peas but reinterpreting them, drawing on lessons she learned in the North.
Today, baby collards are flash fried like potato chips, and lima
beans are slow cooked with mustard greens and sausage until
they melt on your tongue. A pecan pie isnt a pecan pie at all,
but something between a chocolate-chip cookie and a salty,
crunchy nut bar.
What Im trying to do is translate my region, Howard
says. There are all these subcultures of Southern food. People
are familiar with low country, with Appalachia. Im trying to
do that same thing with the cuisine of the frugal farmer in eastern North Carolina, but do it in a way thats attractive for people who live here and is interesting for people who dont.
Like Howard, 41-year-old Matt Neal first fell in love with
New York and its food during a childhood visit to the legendary Second Avenue Deli. Back home, he says he and his
wife Sheila finally gave up on someone coming from the city
to open a deli they could eat lunch at, so they decided to do it
themselves.
Im not Jewish or Brooklynese or anything like that, but I
figured we could figure out how to make pastrami, he says. I
had smoked meat before whole pigs so pastrami wasnt
a huge stretch.
At Neals Deli they serve that pastrami on Southern buttermilk biscuits, and offer a roster of groovy hotdogs like the
Chilean completo, served in the style of Chile with mayonnaise, sauerkraut, avocado and housemade hot sauce. The
pimento cheese is made not just with cheddar, as per tradition,
but with Swiss and provolone as well.

said. Then present final recommendations
(to the school board) in March or early April
were on track to do that.
The committee is looking at a matrix
developed that looks at various solutions,
looking at costs and other data. The architecture firm the district works with, IBI Group,
gave the committee rough estimates of what
certain buildings would cost. For example,
refurbishing Knolls and having it house 550
students would cost about $22.9 million.
Building a two-story school for about 250
students on a parcel of land that was previously a soccer field and has been used to store
equipment next to College Park Elementary
School in North Central San Mateo would
cost $14.6 million. A more pie in the sky
idea would be to add a 900-student K-8 school
at Sea Cloud Park in Foster City for $108.8
million that would cost that much because
the land is marshy and hard to build on, said
Audrey Ng, committee member and president
of the Board of Trustees. This idea seems way

million after Life Technologies Corp. relocated from Foster City to another BioMed
South San Francisco property in 2013 and
resulted in the city losing nearly $1 million in tax revenue. BioMed has since leveled most of the site and proposed three, up
to seven-story buildings, as well as a fourstory building to house employee and visitor amenities, according to a city planning
report.
Cullinan said the company is working
with city officials to secure permits and
hopes to break ground on three Class A
office buildings this year. The terms of the
lease arent being released, but the $149
million campus project is slated to open in

THE DAILY JOURNAL

of out reach for most of the committee, she

said. Turning the 4.25 acres of the district
office in Foster City into a three-story
school is a possibility, but not really a
viable option since there wouldnt be much
room for parking and other space, she noted.
Two-story modular buildings would cost
$250,000 per classroom or up to $800,000
if putting in a modular in a space without the
wiring or infrastructure already set up, she
said.
Were finally getting to the heart of the
matter how much would it cost to increase
capacity, Ng said. Its going to be separate
pieces.
Theres also the option of selling Knolls
or the district office, but the potential sales
prices of those locations have yet to be determined, she said. Additionally, upgrading
Beresford, Meadow Heights or Laurel elementary schools to become two-story buildings is an option, but the builders cant just
plop a second story on top of the buildings
because the foundations arent strong
enough, Ng said. Each would cost $37 million-$39 million to rebuild and the new
buildings could be placed on the playground
spaces while later tearing down the old buildings, she said. One problem with this solu-

tion is that some of these schools are already

on tight lots, she said.
The Next Steps Committee was formed
after a failed November 2013 $130 million
bond measure campaign. The effort, Measure
P, only received 46.6 percent approval, short
of the 55 percent needed for passage. The
measure would have cost property owners
$19 per $100,000 assessed property value.
Its aim was to rebuild and expand Bowditch
Middle School to add Foster City fifthgraders and reopen Knolls for the 2016-17
school year.
The Next Steps group has been very
thoughtful in their community engagement
process and they have been determined to
provide as many opportunities for community members and parents and staff to engage in
the first round of the community engagement
process, said Superintendent Cynthia
Simms. Phase two is to find out from community groups what ideas make the best
sense to them.
In terms of how much money the district
will ultimately go out for if the Next Steps
committee recommends a bond measure will
be driven by its final recommendations, she
said.
They are very serious about finding a

solution, or solutions, to our increasing

enrollment challenges that address the
capacity needs and equity needs, she said.
Another idea that came up at a Monday
night meeting was talking to the cities of
Foster City and San Mateo about signing
long-term leases on properties they own,
said committee member and Trustee Ed
Coady.
Im not sure how well do that but we have
such a good relationship with both city
councils, he said. The relationship is at its
strongest point its been in years. Im certain there are no easy answers here. Were
starting to get to the exciting stage
sketching out what are the most reasonable
kinds of ideas.
Leasing would be more cost-effective than
buying land outright, Ng agreed.
One thing brought up in the report was the
question of whether some schools are
impacted more than others with overcrowding. Coady believes schools in Foster City
seem to have more of an issue with this.
The committee will meet for a study session 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10
at the district office, 1170 Chess Drive in
Foster City, to begin to analyze and evaluate
the most viable solutions.

2017, Cullinan said.

The 15-year-lease between the two firms
also includes an option for Illumina to take
another 160,000 square feet. The potential
520,000-square-foot campus will provide
Illumina the ability to condense most of
its Bay Area offices currently spread
between San Francisco, Redwood City,
Hayward and Santa Clara.
We also expect this campus will provide
stronger ties with our customers and partners, while establishing a state-of-the-art
work environment to retain and attract the
most talented employees in our industry,
Illumina Chief Financial Officer Marc
Stapley said in a press release.
Illumina develops, manufactures and
markets genomic analysis products used
for disease research, drug discovery and
development of molecular tests. Rapidly
making advancements in personalized
medicine through DNA sequencing,

Cullinan said Illumina and other biotechs

are attracted to the Peninsulas proximity
to academic strongholds like Stanford
University, University of California at
Berkeley and the University of San
Francisco.
Foster City representatives had the
opportunity to sit down with BioMed and
Illumina officials before the deal was finalized to help elaborate on what the city has
to offer, said Councilman Herb Perez and
Joanne Bohigian, president of the Foster
City Chamber of Commerce.
He credited Bohigian and Councilman
Charlie Bronitsky, who was mayor at the
time, as vital to Foster City welcoming
Illumina.
The new deal will also significantly contribute to the citys tax revenue, which
could be significant as it lost approximately $1 million annually after Life
Technologies left, Perez said.

Now Foster City is home to two of the

biggest biotechs on the Peninsula
arguably Gilead and [Illumina]. This is
just fantastic, Perez said. Cities need to
do that more often. They need to sit down
and talk to businesses and woo them to
come. Because business has a lot of choices nowadays and this is a win-win for both
the city and for the company.
Bohigian said shes thrilled BioMed and
Illumina, which have astounding visions
and core values, saw potential in the city.
We truly couldnt be more excited to
have one of the biggest life sciences transactions ever in the San Francisco Bay Area
take place here in Foster City. But more
importantly, its about the company and
what Illumina does, Bohigian said. These
are the types of companies we want to call
Foster City home because theyre making
contributions to the greater community and
theyre changing the industry.

Ten fresh takes on Super Bowl guacamole

By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Whether or not you like avocados, you really have to admire

the way their marketers have totally owned the Super Bowl.
For no particular reason other than force of will, avocados
and the guacamole they produce are indelibly linked
with this major American sporting event. A Super Bowl party
without guacamole and its trusty sidekick chicken wings
in many circles is considered downright unpatriotic.
So to help you better embrace the official fruit of the Super
Bowl, we came up with 10 creative ways to make a better guacamole. We suggest starting with our basic recipe which is
pretty darn good just as is then adding in whichever combination of flavors best gets you in the mood for the big
game.

BASIC GUACAMOLE
Start to finish: 10 minutes
Servings: 8
2 avocados
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup diced tomato
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup diced red onion
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Hot sauce, to taste
Slice the avocados in half lengthwise around the pits. Twist
to separate the halves and remove the pits. Spoon the flesh
into a medium bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado until as
chunky or smooth as you prefer. Stir in the lime juice, cumin,
tomato, cilantro and red onion. Season with salt, pepper and
hot sauce. Serve immediately.

A Super Bowl party without guacamole in many circles is considered downright unpatriotic.

10 FRESH IDEAS FOR GUACAMOLE

Fas t and di rty : In place of the tomato, cilantro and red
onion, stir in 1/2 cup of your favorite jarred salsa, 1 tablespoon olive brine, and 2 tablespoons chopped green olives.
Mang o -bal s ami c: In place of the tomato, stir in the diced
flesh of 1 mango. Use scallions in place of the red onion and
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar in place of the lime juice.
Chi po tl e-co rn: Stir in 1 minced chipotle and 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo. Add 1/2
cup corn kernels.
Tzatzi ki : Use 1 cup finely diced seedless cucumber in place
of the tomato and red onion. Use dill in place of the cilantro.
Stir in 2 minced cloves garlic.
Ro as ted g arl i c and po bl ano : Roast a head of garlic
wrapped in foil with a little olive oil until tender and brown,
about 30 minutes at 400 F. Roast a poblano pepper under the
broiler, turning frequently, until the skin chars. Carefully
remove the charred skin from the pepper, then chop the flesh.
Squeeze the garlic pulp from the skin and mash. Mix both into
the guacamole, omitting the onion.
Mi nted co ti ja: Follow the basic method for guacamole,
but use 2 avocados, the lime juice, 3 tablespoons chopped
fresh mint, and 2/3 cup crumbled cotija cheese. Season with
salt and black pepper.
Mapl e-baco n: Follow the basic method for guacamole,
but use 3 avocados, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 2
tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 2
chopped scallions, and 1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon.
Season heavily with black pepper.
Gi ng er-ho i s i n: Add 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger and
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce.
Ci trus tabbo ul eh: Replace the tomato and onion with
3/4 cup purchased tabbouleh and the zests of 1 lemon, 1 lime
and 1 orange.
Shri mp s campi : Use lemon juice in place of the lime juice
and basil in place of the cilantro. Omit the cumin, tomato and
onion. Stir in 1 cup chopped cooked shrimp, 2 cloves minced
garlic and 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese.

HOUSING
Continued from page 1
means of promoting affordable housing policies contained within the
Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan
as well as the citys housing element,
the city recently issued a request for
proposals seeking qualified developers interested in partnering with the
city to develop city-owned parking
lots F and N, located in the southern
portion of downtown Burlingame,
with affordable housing.
This has been an issue thats been
around for some time, said Vice
Mayor Ann Keighran. I think rent
control is the issue Im very familiar with the issue in San Francisco. It
will benefit the current people who are
renting, but not the people who are
trying to find a place. The economy
there becomes stagnant in regards to
rentals; it takes forever to build anything in San Francisco and people
move down the Peninsula when they
dont have a place to live in San
Francisco. We are now in a cycle
where the rents have increased; thats
the way economics works.
Current Craigslist listings for apartments in Burlingame include a $1,250
a month cottage, a $1,350 260-squarefoot studio, a $1, 385 studio near
Broadway, $1,550 apartment on Park
Road, all the way up to $9,995 per
month for a four-bedroom home in the
Ray Park neighborhood, $3,800 for a
two-bedroom apartment on Bellevue
Avenue and up to $3,043 for a one-bedroom townhouse.
A roadblock to rent control is
Burlingames Ordinance 1356, or
Measure T, an existing law, in the form
of a voter-adopted ordinance, that prohibits rent control or other direct regulation of sale, lease or rental prices for
real estate in the city. This would have
to go back to voters to be changed.
Housing prices are primarily set by
market forces, but cities may try to
influence affordability and stability,
using certain strategies, according to a
presentation by City Attorney
Kathleen Kane. The city can set up
informational and outreach programs

DRE
Continued from page 1
Jimmy Iovine and HTC America
Holding Inc, the company that purchased a 51 percent interest in Beats
prior to its sale to Apple.
The suit alleges Dre and Iovine, the
founders of Beats Electronics, deliberately used a contract component to cut
ties with Monster in 2011 while
retaining rights to the technology just

with information to renters and landlords about best practices and

resources for assistance. It can also
encourage development and retention
of affordable units through development incentives to build affordable
units and tax and fee breaks for eligible
projects. It can require housing impact
fees and mandatory programs such as
payment for or building of affordable
units as a condition of approval. It can
enact tenant protection and just cause
for eviction ordinances aimed at
addressing living conditions and
forced turnover, according to Kanes
presentation.
Paul Stewart, government affairs
director for the San Mateo County
Association of Realtors, encouraged
the council to avoid trying to tackle
rent control.
You (the council) should be continuing to amp up incentive programs to
increase the supply of affordable housing in San Mateo County, he said.
Punitive measures are failed housing
policies. Rent control and rent stabilization causes housing crisis. Its a
matter of amping up current policies.
The market will determine the upper
limit.
But for residents like Cynthia
Cornell of Burlingame Advocates for
Rental Protections, there needs to be
more done to help renters in the city.
She suggested hiring a mediator
between renters and landlords and considering enacting a just cause eviction
policy. The city would be hard-pressed
to take on more staff for a mediator, so
Nagel suggested the group go to the
county with such a request.
Daniel Saver, housing staff attorney
with the Community Legal Services in
East Palo Alto, a nonprofit that provides assistance and gives legal advice
to tenants who are in distress, said the
housing crisis is blossoming in San
Mateo County.
Theres a dual strategy to consider:
incentives and increasing production
of affordable housing, he said. When
you have production policies in place
it will take years and years to see the
fruits of those policies in place.
Whats going to happen in the meantime? I encourage staff to consider
some preservation options. Just cause

for eviction protections are still very

effective tools.
Josh Hugg, program manager for the
Housing Leadership Council of San
Mateo County, explained how Silicon
Valley has become a pressure cooker
since theres unlimited capital, but
also still restaurants paying extremely
low incomes to workers.
Some councilmembers still felt disappointed with the study session in
which they were hoping to get some
more creative ideas on creating more
affordable housing.
This is a really, really complicated
issue, said Councilman Ricardo Ortiz.
You could add 1,000 units and the
rents would still be right about where
they are until the cycle changes. I
dont think rent control is effective.
Im disappointed I heard same old same
old. I was hoping to get some creative
new ideas; I dont see anything new.
Councilman Michael Brownrigg
agreed its a complicated issue.
I think Burlingame is a little bit different than people would realize, he
said. We share a zip code with
Hillsborough; this is an expensive
area. Im pleased to say: overcrowding
is a very small issue in Burlingame. I
think were doing something right;
this is to make sure we dont go off the
rails.
The city is nowhere close to any
kind of legislation, he said.
The question is, how do we make
sure Burlingame stays stable for a wide
variety of incomes? he said. I think
this is an important conversation. Im
glad were starting it. I think its a
long road and were glad were on it.
Burlingame is unusual in that 51 percent of its population is renters a
high number, Nagel said.
We are doing some things already
we can point to, she said. We do have
to go up if were going to improve and
make our city a dynamic community.
The city could look into parcel or
sales taxes to have the community
take action rather than enacting punitive measures, said Joshua Howard of
the California Property Managers
Association.
Councilman John Root would like to
see the conversation about housing
continue.

ahead of the Apple deal.

Just as bad, Lees attorney Joe
Cotchett said, they rewrote history
by concealing Lees contributions and
involvement during its well-publicized sale to Apple and instead took all
the credit for designing, engineering
marketing and other facets.
The relationship with Monster
began in 2008 and resulted in the wellknown and pricey headphones. In
2011, Taiwanese company HTC purchased 51 percent of Beats, triggering
a clause that any change of control

ended the contract just months before

it was set to expire. Beats then repurchased a quarter of the shares in July
2012 and ultimately sold the company
in 2013 to Apple for $3.2 billion.
The whole time they were talking
with Apple and knew exactly what they
were doing, Cotchett said.
Apple had no involvement in the
alleged scheme, Cotchett said.
Lee and Monster lost millions of
dollars, according to the suit.
An inquiry to Beats for comment
went unanswered.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Sylvia Alice Arslan
Case Number: 125231
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Sylvia Alice Arslan, aka
Sylvia Alice Berry. A Petition for Probate
has been filed by Norman Arslan in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Norman Arslan be appointed
as personal representative to administer
the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: January 27, 2015
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of the
petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within the later of either (1) four months
from the date of first issuance of letters
to a general personal representative, as
defined in section 58(b) of the California
Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the
date of mailing or personal delivery to
you of a notice under section 9052 of the
California Probate Code. Other California
statutes and legal authority may affect
your rights as a creditor. You may want
to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine
the file kept by the court. If you are a
person interested in the estate, you may
file with the court a Request for Special
Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an
inventory and appraisal of estate assets
or of any petition or account as provided
in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available
from the court clerk.
