600 EVACUATED FROM BLOCKADED CITY OF HOMS
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its not uncommon to hear about
professional football players who
struggle later in life as a result of
untreated concussions and one
local high school is hoping to
prevent this type of thing for
more than just football players.
In late January, Woodside High
School began a pilot program
with about 20 of the 35 boys
lacrosse players to use a new com-
puter-based test called Immediate
Post-Concussion Assessment and
Cognitive Testing, or ImPACT t o
test for concussions. It was devel-
oped by clinical experts and is the
most-widely used and most scien-
tifically validated computerized
concussion evaluation system.
Although the test measures base-
line symptoms of concussions,
ultimately the physician makes
the decision if the athlete can go
back out and play.
A misconception everyone,
not just students, have is that to
have a concussion you have to be
completely knocked out, said
Steven Harman, head coach of the
boys lacrosse team. The causes
of concussions a lot of people
think it has to be an explosive big
hit but a lot of the time its just
twisting.
Head injuries are on the rise for
athletes at all levels of play. An
estimated 4 million to 5 million
concussions occur annually, with
an increase emerging among mid-
dle school athletes, according to
data on the ImPACT website.
Concussions take time to heal and
if athletes return to play too soon
while the brain is still healing
there is a greater chance of hav-

County ofcials are looking to
tweak the existing massage ordi-
nance to prevent workers from
wearing bikinis and loitering after
hours and to free San Francisco
International Airports round-the-
clock operators from time restric-
tions.
The latest proposed cleanup
would clarify several factors
including the type of outer gar-
ments worn by workers, prevent
establishments from covering the
lobby windows to block inspec-
tors from seeing inside and the
accessibility authorities have to
inspect busi-
ness records.
Technically,
for instance, the
way it is written
now, workers
can wear
bathing suits,
said Sheriff
Greg Munks.
Munks and

Fraser will ask the Board of

Tucked away on the northern end
of downtown San Mateo is a
bustling stretch of road with a
diverse array of neighborhood-
serving businesses.
Taquerias, thrift stores, small
retail shops, a Laundromat and
Latino-themed markets dot the
stretch of North B Street from the
Caltrain station to Tilton Avenue
at the northern end. In the middle
of it is the active Peninsula Italian
American Social Club and a vacant
laundry building and adjacent lot.
A group of city ofcials, mer-
chants and property owners say
the street has potential and are
organizing to explore ways to
address concerns about loitering,
unkempt buildings, poor lighting
and why the street has become seg-
regated from the downtown hub.
Last week, the North B Street
Improvement Initiative kicked off
with a focus group for coun-
cilmembers and city staff, police,
merchants, property owners, resi-
dents and various community
associations. The effort originated
in a plan to construct a new market
on the vacant property and rolled
into an organized initiative to
make larger improvements.
Its an impetus for us all to
come together on the street and see
how we want to move forward,
said Marcus Clarke, the citys eco-
nomic development manager.
How can we step up and connect
[North] B Street to the rest of
downtown better, create a place
where people want to come and to
address some of those challenges
that would not bring people down
there.
But the area is uninviting and
people outside of the community
dont frequent it often because its
considered unsafe, dirty and a
majority of the properties have
not been adequately maintained for
years, said Ben Toy, president of
A better North B Street

Ambulance hijacked
with sleeping worker inside
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
Authorities say an Albuquerque ambu-
lance worker catching some sleep in
the back of his vehicle woke up to nd
himself the victim of a carjacking.
Police have arrested a man and a
woman accused of driving off in the
ambulance around 3 a.m. Saturday
while it was parked outside Lovelace
Medical Center in Albuquerque.
Police spokesman Elder Guevara
says the employee was asleep in the
vehicles rear but was able to jump out
when the ambulance slowed near an
intersection. Ofcers then pursued the
ambulance as it headed eastbound, and
then westbound, on Interstate 40.
The ambulance nally came to a rest
on I-40, over Tramway, after authori-
ties used spikes to deate the ambu-
lances tires.
Police have not released the names
of the suspects or the victim, who was
uninjured.
College man-in-undies
sculpture causes stir
WELLESLEY, Mass. A remark-
ably lifelike sculpture of a man sleep-
walking in nothing but his underpants
has made some Wellesley College stu-
dents a bit uncomfortable, but the
president of the prestigious womens
school says thats all part of the intel-
lectual process.
The sculpture entitled Sleepwalker
of a man in an eyes-closed, zombie-
like trance is part of an exhibit by
sculptor Tony Matelli at the colleges
Davis Museum. It was placed at a busy
area of campus on Monday, a few days
before the official opening of the
exhibit, and prompted an online stu-
dent petition to have it removed.
The sculpture is a source of appre-
hension, fear, and triggering thoughts
regarding sexual assault for many,
according to the petition, which had
nearly 300 signees on Wednesday. The
petition started by junior Zoe Magid
called on President H. Kim Bottomly
to have the artwork removed.
That appeared unlikely, according to a
joint statement issued Wednesday by
Bottomly and museum Director Lisa
Fischman.
The very best works of art have the
power to stimulate deeply personal
emotions and to provoke unexpected
new ideas, and this sculpture is no
exception, the statement said. The
sculpture has started an impassioned
conversation about art, gender, sexu-
ality and individual experience, both
on campus and on social media.
The sculpture was placed outdoors
specically to get a reaction and to
connect the indoor exhibition with
the world beyond, Fischman said.
I love the idea of art escaping the
museum and muddling the line between
what we expect to be inside (art) and
what we expect to be outside (life),
she wrote.
Freshman Bridget Schreiner told The
Boston Globe she was freaked out the
rst time she saw the sculpture, think-
ing for a moment that a real, nearly
naked man was lingering on campus.
This could be a trigger for students
who have experienced sexual assault,
she said.
I nd it disturbing, but in a good
way, English professor Sarah Wall-
Randell said. I think its meant to be
off-putting. Its a schlumpy guy in under-
pants in an all-women environment.
The exhibit opens Thursday and
closes July 20.
Would-be burglar
scared by singing fish
ROCHESTER, Minn. Big Mouth
Billy Bass apparently got the best of a
would-be burglar in Minnesota.
Authorities in Rochester say the
motion-activated singing sh appar-
ently scared off an intruder who tried to
break into the Hooked on Fishing bait
and tackle shop.
The novelty bass had been hung
near the door and would start singing
Take Me to the River whenever
someone entered the shop.
The Olmsted County Sheriffs Ofce
says the sh was found on the oor
after the intruder knocked it down
while breaking the door to get in late
Sunday or early Monday.

ransportation has always been dif-
cult. Walking was the only means of
getting around for tens of thousands
of years. Principles of physics have always
been a great curiosity of mankind and
although use of these principles was some-
times hard to grasp by most people, a few
had the mental bent to see applications
that no other man could see at rst.
Bicycles and engines began to be perfect-
ed in the 1800s. What to do with them now?
The bicycle was simple and small enough
for all to understand but the engine was con-
siderably more difficult. But there were
those who had the insight to begin to use
both for getting around. The engine exhib-
ited much potential when hooked up to a
bicycle and a common means of transporta-
tion that had been around for ages the
wagon/carriage. By the end of the 1800s,
the automobile became the most worked on
form of transportation but many were
becoming intrigued by the thought of
extending direction of experiments into the
atmosphere. Balloons, blimps and dirigi-
bles were the rage in Europe but their use
was quite limited and dangerous. Huge cash
prizes were being offered for outstanding
aeroplane performances. Government mili-
taries began to take notice and some recog-
nized that future developments in air ight
could be the key to the successful power of
nations.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO While the
weekend rain was a welcome sight
in many parts of drought-hit
Northern California, California
transportation ofcials said the
moisture reached a place it should-
nt have inside a new, $6.4 bil-
lion section of the San Francisco-
Oakland Bay Bridge.
Part of the steel structure that was
supposed to be watertight is leak-
ing, the San Francisco Chronicle
reports. Caltrans told the newspa-
per that rainwater was found
beneath the road deck on the mar-
quee stretch of the new eastern span
that opened last year, which fea-
tures a sailboat-shaped tower with a
pair of suspension cables.
The seepage might be coming
from the steel guardrails that were
used on that portion of the bridge to
reduce weight, the Chronicle said.
The rails were bolted into place
through holes drilled into the steel
that supports the roadway. But
instead of applying caulk between
the two surfaces, the projects main
contractor applied caulk outside the
rails so they could be repositioned
more easily. A coat of waterproof
epoxy was put over the caulk, but
the seal may not be performing as
expected.
Another potential culprit could
be electrical holes put in near the
guardrails, the Chronicle said.
You do the best you can, but
water will always nd its way in,
said Bill Casey, a Caltrans project
engineer.
Transportation ofcials knew
rain was getting into the bridge
within months of its September
opening, but it took a storm as
large as the one that hit the Bay
Area experienced this weekend for
inspectors to get a good look at the
problem, Casey said.
Bridge spokesman Andrew
Gordon said the source of every leak
has not been pinpointed but that
the problem so far looks manage-
able.
You dont want any water
inside, Gordon told the Chronicle.
So far, its slowly dripping. But we
are going to have teams of engi-
neers and inspectors there this
weekend to assess the problem.
Independent engineers say the
leaks could cause the bridge to cor-
rode and signicantly shorten its
life span.
Thats a problem, a big prob-
lem, said Lisa Thomas, a metallur-
gical engineer who studies material
failure at a laboratory in Berkeley.
They want it to last 150 years. But
with water coming in, something is
going to corrode until its too thin
and weak.
Concerns about the structural
integrity of the seismic safety
bolts used on the new span threat-
ened to delay its opening on Labor
Day. More than 30 of the 17-foot-
long fasteners bolts that secure
earthquake shock absorbers to the
deck of the bridge cracked when
they were tightened. Caltrans is
conducting further tests on their
long-term viability.

PETALUMA ANorthern
California company is
recalling more than 8.7
million pounds of beef
products because it
processed diseased and
unhealthy animals without
a full federal inspection,
federal officials said
Saturday.
Thats a whole years
worth of meat processed by
Rancho Feeding Corp.,
which has been under scruti-
ny by the USDA Food
Safety and Inspection
Service. The agency said
that without full inspec-
tion, the recalled products
are unfit for human con-
sumption.
They were processed from
Jan. 1, 2013, through Jan.
7 and shipped to distribu-
tion centers and retail
stores in California,
Florida, Illinois and Texas.
They include beef carcasses,
oxtail, liver, cheeks, tripe,
tongue and veal bones.
Last month the company
recalled more than 40,000
pounds of meat products pro-
duced on Jan. 8 that also did-
nt undergo a full inspection.
The problems were discov-
ered as part of an ongoing
investigation, the FSIS said.
A call to the company
went unanswered.
There have been no
reports of illnesses. An
FSIS spokesman said
because some of the prod-
ucts could still be frozen
and in storage, a Class I
recall was issued because
the meat product could cause
serious, adverse health con-
sequences.
Company recalls 8.7
million pounds of meat
By Michael R. Blood
LOS ANGELES Covered
California, held up as a jewel in the
nations up-and-down health care over-
haul, is setting aside nearly $200 mil-
lion to fight off projected budget
shortfalls as it prepares for what it
says is a challenging nancial future
without hundreds of millions of dollars
in federal aid.
Ofcials brimmed with condence
after the agency tallied 625,000 indi-
vidual or family health care enroll-
ments through mid-January, the most
of any state. They also say its survival
is not assured, in part because of the
uncertainty around sign-ups that are
key to the exchanges success.
The greatest vulnerabilities include
the long-term sustainability of the
organization after federal grants that
have been its sole source of support,
more than $1 billion so far, dry up this
year, the agencys executive director,
Peter Lee, wrote in December to the
California Department of Finance.
Lee outlined a list of potential risks
that, along with the pace of enroll-
ments, included safeguarding personal
data, staff training and turnover, and
protecting the agency from fraud and
waste. To be self-sustaining, he said,
the agency will make changes to
reect ... revenue realities.
That followed a state audit last summer
that labeled the agency high-risk
because of the uncertainty around enroll-
ments. The nancial test comes as
Minnesota and other states contend with
meager sign-ups and questions about the
potential for nancial bailouts unless
participation begins to surge.
The exchanges being operated by 14
states and the District of Columbia are
supposed to be self-sustaining by next
year, according to the Affordable Care
Act. Amonthly surcharge on insurance
policies is intended as the main
money-maker for Covered California.
In its short life, Covered California
has grown to oversee a $400 million
budget, more than 860 employees and
offices throughout the state. The
agency is in the process of hiring 350
additional call-center employees,
mostly in Fresno.
If the agency fails to generate
enough income to pay for its opera-
tions, its not clear whether California
taxpayers would be on the hook.
The state law that created the
California exchange requires it to
operate with a balanced budget and a
cash reserve. Additionally, its pre-
vented from drawing dollars from state
governments main checkbook, the
general fund, which is supported by
taxpayers.
That is, unless there is a separate
action by the Legislature, now domi-
nated by Democratic lawmakers who
generally support the ACAs goals.
The law contemplates the potential for
a cash crisis and a contingency plan
should it be impossible to operate the
exchange without the use of general
fund moneys.
Covered California considers the
potential for a taxpayer bailout
remote. So far, our enrollment num-
bers are outpacing our projections, so
we dont anticipate any shortfalls in
our budget that might create a need for
this, exchange spokeswoman Anne
F. Gonzales said in a statement.
The pace of enrollment so far sug-
gests the agency will be able to sup-
port its operations in 2015 and into
future years, provided sign-ups contin-
ue to increase through 2016 and then
at least remain stable, said Dylan H.
Roby at the University of California,
Los Angeles Fielding School of
Public Health.
Roby said in an email that the
agencys goal is to maintain a reserve
that could cover its expenses for a
minimum of three months, even if its
income stalls, and that monthly fees
paid on policies could be raised if nec-
essary to generate more money.
Agency documents show Covered
California plans to put aside $184 mil-
lion of the more than $1 billion in fed-
eral grant money it has received to date
as a hedge against anticipated budget
shortfalls.
The records show the exchange will
need $78 million in reserves to plug a
budget hole after July 2015, when
expenses will outrun income, and
another $34 million to cover a decit
the following year.
While agency ofcials say Covered
California is on track to meet enroll-
ment targets nearly 2 million indi-
viduals by June 2016 planning doc-
uments and government reports sketch
out the danger if those numbers ebb.
The state auditor raised the possibil-
ity of a troubling cycle in which
enrollment falls and fees are raised to
ll the gap. The threat is that higher
policy premiums would then push
sign-ups even lower.
In one scenario, the auditor said that
if enrollment dips sharply below pro-
jections, individual fees in the year
that begins July 2015 could surpass
$20 a month, up from $13.95, to keep
the agency solvent while retaining a
reserve.
Sluggish enrollment also could force
cuts to service-center stafng and other
expenses to keep the budget in line.
Covered Californias nancial sus-
tainability is wholly dependent on
enrollment, the auditor concluded.
Enrollments were averaging about
100,000 a week in December, but they
fell to an average of 58,000 in the rst
two weeks of January, according to
agency gures. Agency ofcials hope
enrollment will be robust so fees paid
by individuals and small businesses
can be lowered.
Since insurance policies purchased
under the ACA took effect Jan. 1, the

ter sign-ups among Hispanics and
younger people, as well as confusion
over billing and paperwork problems
that have left an unknown number of
consumers in limbo.

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

WASHINGTON In an asser-
tion of same-sex marriage rights,
Attorney General Eric Holder is
applying a landmark Supreme
Court ruling to the Justice
Department, announcing Saturday
that same-sex spouses cannot be
compelled to testify against each
other, should be eligible to le for
bankruptcy jointly and are enti-
tled to the same rights and privi-
leges as federal prison inmates in
opposite-sex marriages.
The Justice Department runs a
number of benets programs, and
Holder says same-sex couples will
qualify for them. They include the
September 11th Victim
Compensation Fund and benet s
to surviving spouses of public
safety officers who suffer cata-
strophic or fatal injuries in the
line of duty.
In every courthouse, in every
proceeding and in every place
where a member of the Department
of Justice stands on behalf of the
United States, they will strive to
ensure that same-sex marriages
receive the same privileges, protec-
tions and rights as opposite-sex
marriages under federal law, Holder
said in prepared remarks to the
Human Rights Campaign in New
York. The advocacy group works on
behalf of lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender equal rights.
Just as in the civil rights strug-
gles of the 1960s, the stakes in
the current generation over same-
sex marriage rights could not be
higher, said Holder.
The Justice Departments role
in confronting discrimination
must be as aggressive today as it
was in Robert Kennedys time,
Holder said of the attorney general
who played a leadership role in
advancing civil rights.
Human Rights Campaign
President Chad Griffin said
Holders landmark announce-
ment will change the lives of
countless committed gay and les-
bian couples for the better. While
the immediate effect of these pol-
icy decisions is that all married
gay couples will be treated equally
under the law, the long-term
effects are more profound. Today,
our nation moves closer toward
its ideals of equality and fairness
for all.
Holders speech was criticized
by the conservative National
Organization for Marriage.
This is just the latest in a series
of moves by the Obama adminis-
tration, and in particular the
Department of Justice, to under-
mine the authority and sovereignty
of the states to make their own
determinations regulating the
institution of marriage, said Brian
Brown, the groups president. The
changes being proposed here to a
process as universally relevant as
the criminal justice system serve as
a potent reminder of why it is sim-
ply a lie to say that redening mar-
riage doesnt affect everyone in
society.

SEATTLE Asignicant week-
end storm disrupted plans across
the Northwest U.S., blanketing
parts of Washington state with
snow while socking Oregon and
California with rain.
Seattle area residents woke up to
a rare treat of lowland snow Sunday.
Meanwhile, Portland city ofcials
sent out a cellphone alert Sunday
morning urging residents to stay
indoors and avoid travel after freez-
ing rain turned streets and side-
walks into thick sheets of ice.
The National Weather Service
says the rst signicant storm to
hit Northern California in 14
months has produced impressive
amounts of rain and snow, but
forecasters cautioned Sunday that
it would take weeks of similar
drenching to end the states imme-
diate drought worries.
This event, while it certainly
isnt going to take us out of the
drought, we couldnt have asked
for a better storm, McGuire said.
We are seeing very, very impres-
sive rainfall and snowfall
amounts.
After subsisting on man-made
snow for much of the season,
Tahoes ski resorts gratefully
embraced the more than 3 feet of
new snow they got over two days,
although the gift heightened the
risk of avalanches.
In the Seattle area, several inch-
es of new snow overnight brought
a flurry of snowman-building,
sledding and other winter fun
before Monday when the forecast
calls for rain and milder tempera-
tures into the rest of the week.
Nearly 3 inches fell at Seattle-
Tacoma International Airport, the
heaviest snowfall in a single day
at that location in about two
years. Parts of southwest
Washington got hammered with
as much as 5 inches or more in
south Thurston County and some
parts of Lewis County.
We dont get this too often.
People are excited, said Josh
Smith, a meteorologist with the
National Weather Service in
Seattle.
Smith said temperatures are
expected to rise above freezing by
late Sunday.
The storm, powered by a warm,
moisture-packed system from the
Pacific Ocean known as a
Pineapple Express, was expected
to bring more rain Sunday before
moving east.
In other parts of the West, fore-
casters are warning of avalanche
conditions across much of
Colorados high country as snow
continues to fall in the region.
The Colorado Avalanche
Information Center has issued the
warning for most of the central
and northern mountains through
midday Monday.

NATION/STATE 7
Paid Advertisment
SAN FRANCISCO The rst signicant
storm to hit Northern California in 14
months produced impressive amounts of
rain and snow over the weekend, National
Weather Service forecasters said Sunday.
But they cautioned that it would take
weeks of similar storms to end the states
immediate drought worries.
A winter-storm warning that was not due
to expire until early Monday remained in
effect in the greater Lake Tahoe region,
where estimates indicated the mighty lake
itself had received 13.5 billion gallons of
water in a 24-hour period that ended Sunday
morning, said meteorologist Scott McGuire
in Reno. After subsisting on man-made
snow for much of the season, Tahoes ski
resorts gratefully embraced the more than
three feet of new snow they received over
two days, although the gift heightened the
risk of avalanches.
This event, while it certainly isnt going
to take us out of the drought, we couldnt
have asked for a better storm, McGuire
said. We are seeing very, very impressive
rainfall and snowfall amounts.
Parts of the northern San Francisco Bay
area saw sizable amounts of rain along with
flash-flood warnings. The community of
Woodacre, which has the highest base ele-
vation in Marin County, received more than
10 inches since the storm moved in Friday,
while Sebastopol in Sonoma County
received more than 8 inches and downtown
San Francisco more than two inches, said
Austin Cross, a National Weather Service
forecaster meteorologist in Monterey.
The storm, powered by a warm, moisture-
packed system from the Pacific Ocean
known as a Pineapple Express, was expect-
ed to bring another eight inches of rain and
snow to the Lake Tahoe area on Sunday, but
less than an inch more rain to the Bay Area
before it moves east and ends overnight.
Forecasts for the week showed a possibility
of rain returning to the northern part of the
state Wednesday.
Even this fairly good amount of rain is
not enough to catch us up to what is normal
for this time of year, Cross said. It cer-
tainly helps, but were not there yet.

WASHINGTON The Obama administra-
tion has eased the rules for would-be asy-
lum-seekers, refugees and others who hope
to come to the United States or stay here and
who gave limited support to terrorists or
terrorist groups.
The change is one of President Barack
Obamas rst actions on immigration since
he pledged during his State of the Union
address last month to use more executive
directives.
The Department of Homeland Security and
the State Department now say that people
considered to have provided limited materi-
al support to terrorists or terrorist groups
are no longer automatically barred from the
United States.
A post-Sept. 11 provision in immigrant
law, known as terrorism related inadmissi-
bility grounds, had affected anyone consid-
ered to have given support. With little
exception, the provision has been applied
rigidly to those trying to enter the U.S. and
those already here but wanting to change
their immigration status.
For Morteza Assadi, a 49-year-old real
estate agent in northern Virginia, the law
has left him in a sort of immigration purga-
tory while his green card application has
been on hold for more than a decade.
As a teenager in Tehran, Iran, in the early
1980s, Assadi distributed iers for a muja-
hedeen group that opposed the government
of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and was at
one time considered a terrorist organization
by the U.S. government. Assadi said he told
the U.S. government about his activities
when he and his wife applied for asylum in
the late 1990s. Those requests were later
granted and his wife has since become a U.S.
citizen. But Assadis case has remained
stalled.
When we are teenagers, we have different
mindsets, Assadi said. I thought, Im
doing my country a favor.
Assadi said he only briefly associated
with the group, which was removed from
Washingtons list of terrorist organizations
in 2012, and that he was never an active
member or contributor to its activities. Now
hes hopeful that the U.S. government will
look at his teenage activities as limited.
His lawyer, Parastoo Zahedi, said she has
led case in federal court to force U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services to
process Assadis green card application, but
now hopes the government will act on its own.
In the past, the minute your name was
associated with a (terrorist) organization
you were being punished, Zahedi said. Not
every act is a terrorist act and you cant just
lump everyone together.
The Homeland Security Department said
in a statement that the rule change, which
was announced last week and not made in
concert with Congress, gives the govern-
ment more discretion, but wont open the
country to terrorists or their sympathizers.
People seeking refugee status, asylum and
visas, including those already in the United
States, still will be checked to make sure
they dont pose a threat to national security
or public safety, the department said.
In the past, the provision has been criti-
cized for allowing few exemptions beyond
providing medical care or acting under
duress. The change now allows ofcials to
consider whether the support was not only
limited but potentially part of routine com-
mercial transactions or routine social trans-
actions.

BEIRUT Hundreds of civilians were
evacuated Sunday from the besieged Syrian
city of Homs, braving gunmen spraying
bullets and lobbing mortar shells to ee as
part of a rare three-day truce to relieve a
choking blockade. Dozens were wounded as
they ed.
The cease-re came as Syrian ofcials
arrived in Switzerland for a new round of
talks with opposition activists-in-exile to
try to negotiate an end to Syrias three-year
conict.
More than 600 people were evacuated
from Homs on Sunday, said Governor Talal
Barrazi. The operation was part of a U.N.-
mediated truce that began Friday between
the government of President Bashar Assad
and armed rebels to allow thousands of
women, children and elderly men to leave
opposition-held parts of the city, and to
permit the entry of food and supplies.
Forces loyal to Assad have blockaded
rebel-held parts of Homs for over a year,
causing widespread hunger and suffering.
Dozens of people were wounded when
they came under re as they waited at an
agreed-upon evacuation point in the rebel-
held neighborhood of al-Qarabis, according
to three activists based in Homs, who spoke
to The Associated Press by Skype.
Despite the gunre and exploding mortar
shells, hundreds of women, children and
elderly men ran toward a group of Red
Crescent workers waiting less than a mile
(kilometer) away, said an activist who gave
his name as Samer al-Homsy. The Syrian
activists said the gunre came from a gov-
ernment-held neighborhood.
The Syrian news agency SANA also
reported that civilians came under re, but
blamed terrorists, the government term
for rebels.
At least four busloads of civilians were
shipped out, according to footage broadcast
on the Lebanese television station al-
Mayadeen. Wide-eyed children, their promi-
nent cheekbones suggestive of malnutrition,
tumbled out of a bus, assisted by aid workers.
Our life was a disaster, we had no food,
no water, one distressed woman said.
There was nothing, my children are all sick.
They were thirsty, she said, standing with a
group of exhausted-looking children as khaki-
clad Syrian soldiers, Red Crescent workers in
red jump suits and U.N. workers in blue protec-
tive vests gathered around the buses.
Some evacuees were to be hosted in gov-
ernment-run shelters, others were going to
join relatives in safer areas, while still oth-
ers said they did not know where they were
going.
Khaled Erksoussi of the Syrian Red
Crescent, which is assisting the operation,
told the AP that the agency hoped to evacu-
ate as many civilians as possible before the
truce expires Monday.

TOKYO After a night of heavy drink-
ing at the Globe and Anchor, a watering
hole for enlisted Marines in Okinawa,
Japan, a female service member awoke in
her barracks room as a man was raping her,
she reported. She tried repeatedly to push
him off. But wavering in and out of con-
sciousness, she couldnt ght back.
A rape investigation, backed up by DNA
evidence, ended with the accused pleading
guilty to a lesser charge, wrongfully engag-
ing in sexual activity in the barracks. He
was reduced in rank and conned to his base
for 30 days, but received no prison time.
Fast forward a year. An intoxicated serv-
ice member was helped into bed by a male
Marine with whom he had spent the day. The
Marine then performed oral sex on the vic-
tim for approximately 20 minutes against
his will, records show. The accused insist-
ed the sex was consensual, but he was court-
martialed, sentenced to six years in prison,
busted to E-1, the militarys lowest rank,
and dishonorably discharged.
The two cases, both adjudicated by the 1st
Marine Aircraft Wing, are among more than
1,000 reports of sex crimes involving U.S.
military personnel based in Japan between
2005 and early 2013. Obtained through the
Freedom of Information Act, the records
open a rare window into the world of mili-
tary justice and show a pattern of random
and inconsistent judgments.
The Associated Press originally sought
the records for U.S. military personnel sta-
tioned in Japan after attacks against
Japanese women raised political tensions
there. They might now give weight to mem-
bers of Congress who want
to strip senior officers of
their authority to decide
whether serious crimes,
including sexual assault
cases, go to trial.
The AP analysis found the
handling of allegations
verged on the chaotic, with
seemingly strong cases often reduced to
lesser charges. In two rape cases, command-
ers overruled recommendations to court-
martial and dropped the charges instead.
Even when military authorities agreed a
crime had been committed, the suspect was
unlikely to serve time.
Nearly two-thirds of 244 service members
whose punishments were detailed in the
records were not incarcerated. Instead they
were ned, demoted, restricted to their bases
or removed from the military. In more than
30 cases, a letter of reprimand was the only
punishment.
Among the other ndings:
The Marines were far more likely than
other branches to send offenders to prison,
with 53 prison sentences out of 270 cases.
By contrast, of the Navys 203 cases, more
than 70 were court-martialed or punished in
some way. Only 15 were sentenced to time
behind bars.
The Air Force was the most lenient. Of
124 sex crimes, the only punishment for 21
offenders was a letter of reprimand.
Victims increasingly declined to coop-
erate with investigators or recanted, a sign
they may have been losing condence in
the system. In 2006, the Naval Criminal
Investigative Service, which handles the
Navy and Marine Corps, reported 13 such
cases; in 2012, it was 28.
Taken together, the sex crime cases from
Japan, home to the largest number of U.S.
military personnel based overseas, illus-
trate how far military leaders have to go to
reverse a spiraling number of sexual assault
reports.
In one case, a woman alleged that a sailor
raped her. Later, she confronted him in a
recorded conversation. She accused him of
pushing her down for sex purposes, after
which he apologized for hurting her in that
way.
An Article 32 hearing, the militarys ver-
sion of a grand jury, recommended a court-
martial on rape charges, but the command-
ing officer said no. The charges were
dropped.
U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who leads
the Senate Armed Services personnel sub-
committee, said the records are disturbing
evidence that there are commanders who
refuse to prosecute sexual assault cases.
The AP story shows the direct evidence
of the stories we hear every day, said
Gillibrand, who leads a group of lawmakers
from both political parties pressing for fur-
ther changes in the militarys legal system.

OPINION 9
Lempert misses the point
Editor,
In Sue Lemperts column No sugar
to help the medicine go down in the
Feb. 3, 2014 issue of the Daily
Journal, Lempert misses the main rea-
son why our school-age children
arent learning at the rate they should
be to be competitive with the rest of
our country and the world.
Lempert left out the all important
factor of the required participation of
the parents of our children. State law
says that minor children (school-age
children) are incapable of making the
correct decision between good and
bad, right and wrong. As a result, par-
ents are legally and morally responsi-
ble for their childrens education,
including attendance and making sure
their childrens homework was com-
pleted. The key is parents taking
responsibility. In the old days, par-
ents would tell their children, You
cant go out to play, until your home-
work is done! or No TV until you
nish your homework! Now, parents
need to take charge of their own chil-
dren and tell them, No cellphone,
texting or Facebook, until your
homework is done! The old excuses
like, both parents work or a single
parent is too busy, are not valid
excuses.
My parents took responsibility for
my education. My wife and I took
responsibility to make sure our three
children completed their education.
We both worked. This generation of
parents needs to step up and take
responsibility. Dont just blame the
children. Thats ridiculous. Ms.
Lempert should know better.

Stop the Keystone Pipeline
Editor,
Guy Guerreros letter, Keystone XL
pipeline needed (in the Feb. 6 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal), is wrong
on virtually every point.
Building the pipeline will create
jobs only until the pipeline is com-
pleted in less than two years. Only 35
permanent jobs would be created. And
Keystone oil will not make the
United States energy independent.
All the oil will be shipped to China
and other Asian markets where the
prots are higher.
Well be destroying our environ-
ment for nothing. Stop the Keystone
pipeline.

Letters to the editor
By Steve Zimmerman
M
any seniors want to remain
in their homes as long as
possible, sometimes
requiring outside
care to help make
this possible. In
September of 2013,
Gov. Jerry Brown
signed several bills
into law that will
impact both
providers and con-
sumers of in-home
senior care services. Caregivers, or
personal attendants in the wording of
the new laws, provide assistance in
daily living activities to hundreds of
thousands of California seniors.
Historically, in-home caregivers were
exempt from overtime regulations but
effective Jan. 1, 2014, Assembly Bill
241, the Domestic Worker Bill of
Rights, requires that they be paid
time-and-a-half for all hours worked
in excess of nine hours in any work-
day and 45 hours in a workweek.
The impact of AB 241 will vary
depending on the number of hours the
caregiver works. For hourly care,
providers will try to limit the length
of caregivers shifts to nine hours to
avoid paying overtime. If the client
needs assistance more than nine hours
a day, they may have to be supported
by multiple caregivers to not incur
additional charges. The result might
be seen as a lose-lose situation; the
worker earns lower wages and the sen-
ior will have to be willing to work
with multiple helpers.
Aclient that requires round-the-
clock or live-in care, presents addi-
tional challenges. Under AB 241, the
live-in caregiver would be paid nine
hours of regular time and seven hours
of time-and-a-half in a 24-hour peri-
od. The remaining eight hours is des-
ignated as sleep time, which is
exempt from pay (and not billed to
the client). The exception is an inter-
ruption of the sleep time resulting in
overtime charges for the actual time
spent assisting the client during the
sleep time. To absorb the overtime
charges, the provider may increase
their fees. Depending on the magni-
tude of the increase, seniors may
begin to seek alternatives such as
assisted living facilities, which will
require that they leave their home.
Until July 1, 2014, the California
minimum wage is $8 per hour, higher
that the federal minimum wage of
$7.25 per hour worked. On July 1,
2014, Assembly Bill 10 increases the
minimum wage in California to $9 per
hour and, on Jan. 1, 2016, the
California minimum wage will
increase to $10 per hour worked. AB
10 attempts to close the gap between
wages and the cost of living in
California. Successful implementa-
tion will require creative approaches
to managing costs by home care
providers to deliver consistent, high-
quality care to clients.
Yet another recent law covers licen-
sure. On Jan. 1, 2017, Assembly Bill
1217, the Home Care Services
Consumer Protection Act, takes effect.
This bill involves licensure of home
care agencies and species the require-
ments to obtain a license. For agen-
cies like mine, Senior Helpers of San
Mateo, the impact is minimal. These
requirements have always been an
integral part of our operation.
Agencies will be required to carry pro-
fessional liability insurance as well as
workers compensation insurance. The
owner will be required to pass a back-
ground examination and the state will
maintain a registry of registered home
care aides and home care aide appli-
cants. Home care organizations will
be required to ensure that home care
aides are cleared on the home care aide
registry before placing the individual
in direct contact with the client.
Finally, a home care organization
licensee shall ensure that their home
care aides complete a minimum of ve
hours of training prior to providing
services. There will be substantial
costs for home care agencies associat-
ed with compliance to the licensure
program. However, in my opinion,
the benets in consumer protection far
outweigh the added costs.
California has enacted legislation
designed to better the quality of life
for those working as home care aides
while attempting to ensure that sen-
iors are assured quality care from well-
trained caregivers provided by rep-
utable home care agencies. Clearly,
there will be costs associated with
these programs for both providers and
consumers. However, providing a sys-
tem that supports the health and safe-
ty of our senior population is well
worth the cost of implementation.

Lessons learned,
early education
T
here is good news from the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District after the failure of the
last bond issue. Instead of a Foster City-based com-
mittee, a new all-inclusive group including those with
opposing views, some who supported and some who
opposed the last measure, representatives from Foster City,
San Mateo, the North Central San Mateo neighborhood and
other stakeholders will tackle the job of how to deal with
increasing enrollment and how to pay for necessary capital
improvements.
Two current members of the board, Foster City resident
Audrey Ng, and s new member from San Mateo, Ed Coady,
are part of the group as well as
former school trustee and for-
mer Baywood parent, Mark
Hudak. The San Mateo City
Council is looking forward to
working with the district and
visa versa. In this new era of
kumbaya, (rather than the big
chill and organized opposi-
tion) a future bond measure
should have smoother sailing.

San Mateo County has an
ambitious plan to provide
quality preschool for all 3-
and 4-year-olds and all-day
kindergarten. So far, $10 mil-
lion from the countys sales
tax Measure Ahas been set aside for the Big Lift. Even
though San Mateo County is one of the richest in the coun-
try, 42 percent of its third-graders 3,000 children are
not reading prociently. The gure is 60 percent for Latino,
Pacic Islander and African-American kids. Research shows
that 88 percent of children who drop out of school could
not read prociently at third grade. Another sobering statis-
tic thats how they count the need for prison beds.
It will take $30 million to $40 million per year to pro-
vide quality preschool for San Mateo County students who
most need the assistance. The goal is to raise matching
funds from foundations and work on a sustainable long-
term funding plan. The Big Lift will go before the Board of
Supervisors Feb. 25. If approved, County Superintendent
Anne Campbell said, we hope to get started with new pre-
school spaces in January 2015. Campbell anticipates
beginning with two or three districts and expanding from
there.

But we are not alone. Statewide, legislators (including
state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo) have introduced a bill
which would allow all 4-year-old Californians to attend pre-
school by expanding transitional kindergarten. If this legis-
lation passes, it will be a boost to the Big Lift. Nationally,
28 percent of 4-year-olds are enrolled in state-nanced pre-
school, but not all states participate. Florida provides vol-
untary preschool for all 4-year-olds. In Georgia and
Oklahoma, every 4-year-old has free access to a year of
high-quality preschool. In Oklahoma, younger children
from disadvantaged homes often receive full-day, year-round
nursery school, and some families get home visits to coach
parents on reading and talking more to their children.
And speaking of home visits, PIP (Parent Involvement
Program, formerly the Early Learning Center) has been pro-
viding this intervention for its preschool children for
years. In the 1970s, San Mateo superintendent David
Thomas, was way ahead of his time and hired an early child-
hood specialist. She started a unique program at North
Shoreview open to children in the lowest socio-economic
census tracts. Free high-quality preschool was provided but
parents had to commit to volunteering at school and attend-
ing workshops. The program was so successful it has
spread to four other schools in the district and now includes
all kindergarten and rst-graders. They dont get home vis-
its but do get free eld trips and parent workshops thanks
to a private donor and volunteers. In addition, about 25
volunteer reading tutors are working with rst-graders in
two of these schools Horrall and George Hall.
***
All of this is good news. Kids are eager to learn when
they are young. And giving them another year or two
before kindergarten will make them better students later on.
But New York Times columnist Gail Collins throws some
cold water on the new enthusiasm for preschool. Maybe
we could agree that no politician is allowed to mention pre-
school without showing us the money, she wrote.
Finally here's the medicine for Shanghais incredible edu-
cational success. According to Thomas Friedman, another
New York Times columnist, it is a relentless focus that
makes for high performing schools. .... Adeep commit-
ment to teacher training, peer-to-peer learning and constant
professional development, a deep involvement of parents
in their childrens learning, an insistence by the school
leadership on the highest standards and a culture that prizes
education and respects teachers. Americans, its time to
swallow!

WASHINGTON Look no fur-
ther than your dinner plate to
understand how the new farm bill
affects you.
About 15 percent of the money
in the legislation signed into law
Friday by President Barack Obama
will go to farmers to help them
grow the food you eat. Most of the
rest of the money in the almost
$100 billion-a-year law will go to
food stamps that help people buy
groceries.
Five ways the farm law affects
what is on your plate:
WHERE YOU SHOP: The law
includes incentives for farmers
markets and makes it easier for
food stamp recipients to shop
there. Anew program would award
grants to some farmers markets and
grocery stores that match food
stamp dollars if recipients buy
fruits and vegetables. It has a bit of
money to help nance the building
of grocery stores in low-income
areas that dont have many retail
outlets.
THE MAIN COURSE: Most of
the subsidy money benets produc-
ers of the main row crops corn,
soybeans, wheat, cotton and rice.
Most corn and soybeans in the
U.S. are grown for animal feed, so
those subsidies keep costs down
for the farmers and the livestock
producers who buy feed for their
beef cattle, hogs and chickens.
Corn is an ingredient in hundreds if
not thousands of processed foods
you buy in the grocery store.
So the steak, rice and bread you
buy are all most likely to be cheap-
er because of the law, as are sweet
corn and edamame, the corn and
soybeans that people eat.
FRUITS AND VEGGIES: Most
fruits and vegetables dont get gen-
erous subsidies like the staple
crops do. But starting in the 2008
farm law, fruit and vegetable pro-
ducers began getting more of the
share, including block grants,
research money and help with pest
and disease mitigation. Money for
these specialty crops every-
thing from blueberries to tomatoes
to potatoes to nuts and honey
was expanded in the new law, which
also provides money to encourage
locally-grown food production and
boosts organic agriculture.
MILK: Its unclear if the price of a
gallon of milk will be affected by
the law. Unlike the rest of agricul-
ture, dairy farmers have had more of
a rough go in recent times, facing
price collapses and shuttering
dairies in the past ve years. To pre-
vent that from happening again,
the bill gets rid of current subsidies
for dairy and creates a type of insur-
ance that pays out when the gap
between the price farmers receive
for milk and their feed costs nar-
rows. How much the program will
help remains to be seen.
DESSERT: The law leaves intact
the governments sugar program,
which supports prices and protects
growers from foreign competition.
Candy makers and other food and
beverage companies long have
said government protections for
sugar farmers articially restrict
supplies, force consumers to pay
more for sugar products and only
benefit a few thousand well-off
growers.
Many of those candy makers and
food companies have turned
instead to high fructose corn syrup,
which sweetens many of the foods
you nd at the grocery store. That
sweetener is made with corn.
Whats for dinner? The farm bill has a big impact
By Josh Boak
WASHINGTON In the 4 1/2
years since the Great Recession
ended, millions of Americans who
have gone without jobs or raises
have found themselves wondering
something about the economic
recovery:
Two straight weak job reports
have raised doubts about econo-
mists predictions of breakout
growth in 2014. The global econ-
omy is showing signs of slowing
again. Manufacturing has
slumped. Fewer people are signing
contracts to buy homes. Global
stock markets have sunk as anxi-
ety has gripped developing
nations.
Some long-term trends are
equally dispiriting.
The Congressional Budget Ofce
foresees growth picking up
through 2016, only to weaken
starting in 2017. By the CBOs
reckoning, the economy will soon
slam into a demographic wall: The
vast baby boom generation will
retire. Their exodus will shrink the
share of Americans who are work-
ing, which will hamper the econo-
mys ability to accelerate.
At the same time, the govern-
ment may have to borrow more,
raise taxes or cut spending to sup-
port Social Security and Medicare
for those retirees.
Only a few weeks ago, at least
the short-term view looked
brighter. Entering 2014, many
economists predicted growth
would top 3 percent for the rst
time since 2005. That pace would
bring the U.S. economy near its
average post-World War II annual
growth rate. Some of the expected
improvement would come from
the government exerting less drag
on the economy this year after
having slashed spending and
raised taxes in 2013.
In addition, steady job gains
dating back to 2010 should
unleash more consumer spending.
Each of the 7.8 million jobs that
have been added provided income
to someone who previously had
little or none. It amounts to
adrenaline for the economy,
said Carl Tannenbaum, chief econ-
omist for Northern Trust.
And since 70 percent of the
economy ows from consumers,
their increased spending would be
expected to drive stronger hiring
and growth.
There is a dividing line
between a slow-growth economy
that is not satisfactory and above-
trend growth with a tide strong
enough to lift all the boats and put
people back to work, said Chris
Rupkey, chief financial econo-
mist at Bank of Tokyo-
Mitsubishi. That number is 3
percent.
The recovery had appeared to
achieve a breakthrough in the
nal quarter of 2013. The econo-
my grew at an annual pace of 3.2
percent last quarter. Leading the
upswing was a 3.3 percent surge
in the rate of consumer spending,
which had been slack for much of
the recovery partly because of
high debt loads and stagnant pay.
Yet for now, winter storms and
freezing temperatures, along with
struggles in Europe and Asia, have
slowed manufacturing and the
pace of hiring.
Just 113,000 jobs were added in
January, the government said
Friday. In December, employers
had added a puny 75,000. Job cre-
ation for the past two months is
roughly half its average for the
past two years. A third sluggish
jobs report in February would fur-
ther dim hopes for a breakout
year.
Three months in a row would
mean the job market is taking a
turn for the worst, said Stuart
Hoffman, chief economist for
PNC Financial Services.
Former Treasury Secretary Larry
Summers and Nobel Prize winner
Paul Krugman have suggested that
the economy might be in a semi-
permanent funk. In November,
Summers warned in a speech that
the economy is trapped by secu-
lar stagnation. By that, he meant
a prolonged period of weak
demand and slow growth.
U.S. economy may be stuck in slow lane for long run

Serras showdown with Mitty ends in draw
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There are a lot of things that
could have gone right for the Serra
soccer team Saturday afternoon
against Archbishop Mitty.
First, a victory against the
Monarchs would have put the
Padres in the West Catholic
Athletic League drivers seat.
With one game to play, a favor-
able outcome in the regular season
nale would have assured them at
least a fair of the regular season
title.
Second, the eyes of the Serra
world were on Nick Schnabel, who
with a goal against Mitty, would
sit all alone atop the WCALrecord
books as the leagues single-sea-
son scoring king. Its a record
that is three decades strong.
But Saturdays 0-0 draw with the
Monarchs leaves the Padres with a
bit of uncertainty on both of
those fronts. With the rain pun-
ishing the players on the eld,
some of Californias water
drought issues might have been
solve but Serras scoring
drought through 80-plus minutes
of soccer means theyll have to
wait and see.
I was satised, said Serra head
coach Jeff Panos about his teams
play on Saturday. The effort was
there. I thought we had the better
of the play in the second half and
gave ourselves a chance. Were a
point behind Mitty in the stand-
ings so we kind of came in with
the idea that we had to win, so the
boys are a little disappointed it
didnt come out that way. But, its
tough conditions to play in and
both teams were kind of like,
whos going to make that first
mistake. Neither team did so I
thought it was a fair result.
The wet conditions on Saturday
made for tense moments through-
out. Of the two teams, Mitty has
the clearest and closest opportu-
nities at goal as a couple of their
shots rang off the Serra goal posts
one coming very close to
crossing the Serra goal line as it
ricocheted straight down.

SEATTLE Stanfords Chiney
Ogwumike scored 23 points and
pulled down 14 rebounds against
Washington, and it still felt like a
disappointing day.
The Huskies shut down
Ogwumike, the Pac-12s leading
scorer, much of the time when it
counted, and her teammates
werent able to help. Even though
the Cardinal nearly rallied from 12
points down in the nal seconds,
No. 3 Stanford ended up with an
unexpected 87-82 loss Sunday.
Washington bottled up
Ogwumike much of the day, pack-
ing the paint and playing zone,
daring Stanfords outside shooters
to beat them. The Cardinal instead
went 9 for 41 on 3-pointers.
Weve shot the ball extremely
well this season, much better than
last year, but today wasnt our day
for shooting and it wasnt our day
for defense, either, Stanford
coach Tara VanDerveer said.
The loss snapped a 62-game
road conference winning streak for
Stanford (22-2, 11-1 Pac-12), as
well as a 14-game run against
Washington (13-10, 6-6). The
Cardinals last loss in road or neu-
tral conference games was Jan. 18,
2009, against California in
Berkeley. Stanfords only other
loss this season came at No. 1
Connecticut.
Washington had five players
score in double figures, led by
freshman guard Kelsey Plum with
23.
Just overall, I thought we were
outplayed, VanDerveer said. I
hope this loss really helps us, I
hope it gets our teams attention.
Washington led nearly the entire
game and was up 85-73 with less
than a minute to go when Stanford
started a desperate rally.
Four straight missed free throws
for Washington opened the door as
Bonnie Samuelson hit a 3-pointer
with 39 seconds to go to start the
urry and then another 3-pointer
by Samuelson with 9 seconds left
cut the lead to 85-81. The Huskies
were called for a 5-second viola-
tion on the inbound, and with 7.8
seconds Ogwumike made one of
two free throws to make it 85-82.

STILLWATER, Okla. Marcus
Smart was quiet and subdued as he
apologized at a podium, a
demeanor in stark contrast to the
one that sent shockwaves through
Oklahoma States basketball pro-
gram hours earlier.
Smart was
suspended three
games Sunday
by the Big 12
for shoving a
fan in the clos-
ing seconds of
the Cowboys
loss at Texas
Tech on
Saturday night.
The conference acted swiftly in
banning the All-America guard,
saying in a statement the penalty
was handed down for inappropri-
ate conduct with a spectator.
Smart apologized to the fan, his
teammates and his family for his
role in the altercation before coach
Travis Ford expressed support for
the sophomore without dismissing
the severity of his actions.
This is not how I conduct
myself, said Smart, a top NBA
prospect. This is not how the
program is run. This is not how I
was raised. I let my emotions get
the best of me. Its something Ill
have to learn from, a lesson Ill
have to learn from. The conse-
quences that are coming with it
Im taking full responsibility. No
ngers pointing this is all upon
me.
Late in Saturday nights game at
Lubbock, Texas, Smart tumbled out
of bounds behind the basket after
trying to block a shot. He was
helped to his feet and then shoved
Jeff Orr with two hands after it
appeared the Red Raiders fan said
something to him. Teammates
quickly pulled Smart away as he
pointed back and shouted in Orrs
direction.
Smart will miss games against
Texas, Oklahoma and Baylor. He
can return for a Feb. 22 home game
against Texas Tech. But Ford said
Smart will be allowed to practice.
These guys mean a lot to me,
and for me not to be able to be out
there with them it hits me in my
heart, Smart said.
Texas Tech released a statement
saying it conducted a thorough
investigation. Orr denied making a
racial slur, and Tech said the evi-
dence backs up Orrs statement. See STANFORD, Page 14

SOCHI, Russia Matthias Mayer shut his
eyes for a moment, his days work over.
If he had trouble believing what had just
happened as he stood before the crowd it was
with good reason. The Austrian struck a big
upset Sunday in one of the Olympics mar-
quee events, capturing the mens downhill
and upending the elite of his sport.
Its amazing to be an Olympic champi-
on, he said.
Mayer has never nished better than fth
in a World Cup downhill. That proved no
obstacle in dismissing the preordained
favorites Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway
nished fourth and Bode Miller of the U.S.
eighth.
Among the eight gold medalists on Day 3
were: snowboarder Jamie Anderson, the
American slopestyle queen who triumphed in
her sports Olympic debut; Irene Wust, who
showed why speedskating is Dutch territory;
and Russia in team gure skating, likewise
an Olympic newcomer, for its rst gold in
Sochi.
SKIING: In a country where skiing is

revered, Mayer gave Austria a jolt. A few
weeks ago he was not even considered the
nations best shot for gold. But he covered
the Rosa Khutor course in 2 minutes, 6.23
seconds and beat Italys Christof Innerhofer
by 0.06 seconds. Norways Kjetil Jansrud
won the bronze. Miller, who dominated the
training runs, was so unnerved by the change
of visibility he thought hed have to do
something magical to win. That was left to
Mayer, who enjoys good skiing bloodlines
his father, Helmut, won a super-G silver
medal at the 1988 Calgary Games.
FIGURE SKATING:
With Evgeni Plushenko and a captivating
Julia Lipnitskaia winning the free skates,
Russia took the team event without needing
to worry about the concluding ice dance.
President Vladimir Putin was among those in
a crowd relishing this victory as the
Russians drew away from the U.S. and
Canada. Plushenkos body has been battered
by 12 operations and he had to convince his
federation he merited a spot in Sochi. All
the fans are cheering so hard that you literal-
ly cannot do badly because they do every-
thing with you, Plushenko said. You get
goose bumps.
SNOWBOARDING: The U.S. now has a

double gold hit in slopestyle, with Anderson
doing her part a day after Sage Kotsenburg.
Even though its just another competition,
the stage and the outreach that this event
connects to is out of control, Anderson said.
Finlands Enni Rukajarvi won the silver. The
bronze went to Jenny Jones, a 33-year-old
former maid at a ski resort who gave Britain
its rst medal in any snow sport.
SPEEDSKATING: Another royal visit,

more Dutch gold. Wust gave the Netherlands
its second victory by winning the 3,000.
Skating before her king and queen, Wust won
in 4 minutes, 0.34 seconds. Defending
champ Martina Sablikova of the Czech
Republic took the silver while Olga Graf won
bronze for Russias rst medal of the games.
Claudia Pechstein, 41 and a six-time
Olympian, was fourth. Wust, her nails red,
white and blue like the Dutch ag, held up
three ngers, signifying her third Olympic
gold medal.
CROSS-COUNTRY: Switzerlands Dario

Cologna had ankle surgery in November, but
that now seems ancient. He won the 30-kilo-
meter skiathlon, pulling away at the top of
the last uphill section. The three-time over-
all World Cup winner claimed his second
Olympic gold medal. He was timed in 1 hour,
8 minutes, 15.4 seconds. Defending champi-
on Marcus Hellner of Sweden took silver,
with the bronze to Norways Martin Johnsrud
Sundby.
BIATHLON: Slovakias Anastasiya

Kuzmina matched her gold from Vancouver in
the womens 7.5-kilometer sprint. Kuzmina
shot awlessly and nished in 21 minutes,
6.8 seconds. The silver medal went to
Russias Olga Vilukhina and the bronze to
Ukraines Vita Semerenko. Kuzminas broth-
er is Russian biathlete Anton Shipulin, who
was fourth Saturday.
LUGE: Felix Loch, still only 24, did it

again. The German luger won his second
straight Olympic gold medal, leaving the
rest of the eld in his icy wake. Loch com-
pleted four runs down the Sanki Sliding
Center track in 3 minutes, 27.562 seconds
0.476 seconds ahead of Russias Albert
Demchenko, who won the silver in his sev-
enth Olympics. Italys Armin Zoeggeler won
the bronze, giving him a record six medals in
six games.
SKI JUMPING: In control from the start,

Kamil Stoch of Poland won the Olympic gold
in the mens normal hill individual ski jump.
Stoch had the best jump in each round, put-
ting rst ahead of the silver medalist Peter
Prevc of Slovenia and bronze medalist
Anders Bardal of Norway. Thomas
Morgenstern of Austria, returning from seri-
ous injuries from a fall during training a
month ago, was 14th. Simon Amman of
Switzerland, the defending champion from
Vancouver who was seeking a record fth
Olympic gold medal, nished 17th.

MEDALS RACE
Norway, the Netherlands and the United
States have two golds apiece, while the
Norwegians have the overall lead with
seven total medals. But look out for Russia,
which picked up a gold, two silvers and a
bronze, all in one day. The host on the
Black Sea coast lost a bid to pick up anoth-
er bronze when its cross-country skiing
team lodged an unsuccessful protest in the
mens 30-kilometer skiathlon, claiming
Maxim Vylegzhanin was impeded in the
nal sprint in a tight race against Martin
Johnsrud Sundby of Norway.
THE ENGLISHWOMAN WHO WENT UP
A HILL AND CAME DOWN A MEDALIST
Coming from a nation that is not well-
known for its mountains, Jenny Jones
picked up Britains rst medal on snow in
the 90-year history of the Winter Games.
Her slopestyle bronze medal came as Jamie
Anderson of the United States won the gold
in the sports Olympic debut.
Olympic Highlights
But Serra, especially in the second half,
did string together a couple of offensive
attacks that struck fear in Mitty.
Unfortunately, with the wind and rain being
such big factors in the game, there were too
many what-ifs and variables for either team
to put together successful chances at goal.
I think if it were an all-or-nothing play-
off game, you would have probably seen us
push up with a couple more numbers, Panos
said. But we also have a tough game on
Wednesday in which there are still some
things to be decided. Its not in our fate any-
more, but we kind of had that in mind. And I
think too, in conditions like this, if you
dont take care of things on defense, youre
going to get hurt really badly. So, I think
our guys really stepped up.
With one game left on the WCAL regular
season schedule, Serra will face off against
St. Ignatius while Mitty will battle St.
Francis. A Padres win coupled with a
Monarchs draw or loss pushes Serra to the
regular season crown.
In the West Catholic Athletic League,
this is game 13 of 14, so if youre not ready
to play by this point of the season, youre
never going to be. So, theyre battle-tested
and weve played so many games in the
months of January and February that I think
theyre now looking toward the post season
and they really want to make things happen.
This is a special group. I have 15 seniors
and you know, I think they just keep work-
ing hard for one another.

Mom Recovered with Us
from her hospitalization and was
able to move back home.
Always Welcome!
Stanford nearly pulled off another steal on
the inbounds pass, but it turned into a tie-up
and Washington had the possession arrow.
This time, William pulled in a long pass and
was fouled for the nal free throws.
It was a little too little, too late,
Ogwumike said. We were really motivated
to play toward the end, but the rst 38 min-
utes we were a little lackadaisical on
offense.
Mikaela Ruef set career highs with 16
points and 22 rebounds, and Samuelson
scored 14 points for Stanford, which last
lost to Washington Dec. 22, 2005, in
Seattle.
With Washington playing a 2-3 zone on
most possessions, Stanford started cold
missing its rst seven 3-pointers and
Washington took advantage to build a 14-4
lead in the rst 4 1/2 minutes. The Cardinal
came back to tie the score at 17 three min-
utes later, but even after that push the
Huskies were able to hold the lead for most
of the rst half, going into halftime leading
41-34.
Washington kept Ogwumike mostly bot-
tled up while building their halftime lead.
The Huskies packed the paint against the
Pac-12s leading scorer, and Ogwumike was
held to eight points on seven shots before
halftime. UW mostly kept the ball out of
Ogwumikes hands, as the forward didnt
attempt a free throw until 1:35 left in the
rst half.
That 2-3 zone automatically tells you
what youre going to get as a team, youre
going to get perimeter shots, Ogwumike
said. I have so much faith in my team-
mates. I feel they could have hit shots today
and I still think theyre great shooters, so
even though its tough to go out with a loss,
I still have a lot of condence in my team.
The Cardinal came out in the second half
with a clear directive: get Ogwumike the
ball. She scored Stanfords rst nine points
of the half, outdoing her rst-half point
total in the opening 3 1/2 minutes.
But despite Ogwumikes quick outburst,
the Cardinal couldnt get a consistent
offense going, too often settling for a long
3-pointer which mostly didnt go in.
Meanwhile, Washingtons offense was
rolling. A16-2 run gave the Huskies a 64-48
lead with 9 1/2 left to play, and the Cardinal
didnt nd an answer until it was too late.
I think we will learn a lot from this
game, and hopefully play more condently
for 40 minutes and not just try to make a run
with a minute left, Ruef said. I think we
need to be condent. We are a great shooting
team, and we need to show that condence in
our shots in the rst half and throughout the
entire game, and not just wait until our
backs are against the wall and start ring
because we have to.
No. 23 Cal pulls away,
beats Washington St. 87-70
PULLMAN, Wash. Reshanda Gray
scored 24 points and Brittany Boyd added
23 as No. 23 California pulled away for an
87-70 win over Washington State on
Sunday.
California (16-7, 8-4 Pac-12) trailed by as
many as eight in the second half and was
down 55-51 with 11 1/2 minutes to play.
The Golden Bears then went on a 24-2 run to
mount a 75-57 lead and put the game out of
reach as Washington State (12-12, 6-6)
went nearly nine minutes down the stretch
without scoring from the eld.
Afure Jemerigbe added 18 points and
Gennifer Brandon scored 13 for Cal, which
held a 55-27 rebounding advantage.
Brandon led the Golden Bears with season-
high 20 rebounds while Gray had 10.
Tia Presley led Washington State with 20
points. The Cougars have now dropped six
of seven games after beginning conference
play 5-0.

SOCHI, Russia When the puck drops at
the Sochi Games, friends will become foes.
Fast.
The Czechs will face the Swedes on
Wednesday, just four days after Boston beat
Ottawa 7-2 in one of the NHLs last
matchups before its Olympic break.
David Krejci and Loui Eriksson both had
two assists for the Bruins in the rout. On
Wednesday, the forwards will be playing
against each other and for their countries
Krejci for the Czech Republic and Eriksson
for Sweden.
Most of the 18 preliminary-round games
will feature NHL teammates as temporary
opponents.
Chicago Blackhawks stars Patrick Kane
and Jonathan Toews are not scheduled to face
each other in the preliminary rounds, but
both are hoping for a U.S.-Canada rematch
in the elimination round.
Were always, in a fun way, competing
against each other on a daily basis, said
Toews, who helped the Canadians beat the
Americans for the gold in 2010. Well be
competitive if we get a chance to play each
other.
One guy is not going to want the other to
get the best of him.
The Los Angeles Kings have six
Olympians, representing four countries.
Trash-talking began soon after the rosters
were set last month.
Throughout the room with the different
teams, theres always been ribbing going
on, Canadas Jeff Carter said.
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville has
an NHL-high 10 of his players in the
Olympics, spread out over ve teams. Hes
looking forward to the game within the
games.
Quenneville can see a trio of Swedes
Niklas Hjalmarsson, Johnny Oduya and
Marcus Kruger gang up on the Czech
Republics Michal Rozsival on Wednesday.
The next day, he can watch Kane get tested
by Slovakias Marian Hossa and Michal
Handzus.
Its going to be great watching these
guys play, Quenneville said. I think
theyre going to learn a lot being on that
stage, in critical situations and big
moments.
Theres a good chance somebodys going
to come back with a gold medal.
Sidney Crosby scored the gold-medal win-
ning goal in overtime at the Vancouver
Games. Theres a chance he might have to
beat Pittsburgh Penguins teammates to
repeat when the tournament becomes a win-
or-go-home format.
Before the elimination games, Crosby
will be on the ice against two Penguins,
Finlands Olli Maatta and Jussi Jokinen, in
the nal preliminary-round game on Sunday.
Sid the Kid might move on to see more fami-
lar faces such as Evgeni Malkin if Canada
faces the Russians, and Paul Martin and
Brooks Orpik if it goes against the
Americans again.
Its always a little weird, Crosby
acknowledged.

PEBBLE BEACH Even with his high-
powered telescope, Jimmy Walker might
have had a hard time nding himself among
the stars.
Just four months ago, Walker began his
eighth season on the PGATour with no wins
in 187 attempts. With a little more drama
than he wanted Sunday in the AT&T Pebble
Beach National Pro-Am, he held on for his
third victory in his last eight tournaments.
In the last 20 years on the PGATour, only
Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and David
Duval have won so often so early in a sea-
son.
I dont know if it was just a matter of
doing it once and then having it happen
again and then happen again, Walker said
holing a 5-foot par putt on the 18th at
Pebble Beach for a 2-over 74. Ive always
felt like I could win out here, and I think
thats what you have to believe to be out
here that you belong and that you can
win. And nally, it happened. And its cool
that its happened a couple more times.
Quickly.
He was feeling a little more heat than he
needed only another cool, cloudy afternoon
on the Monterey Peninsula.
Walker had a six-shot lead at the start of
the nal round. He was still ve shots clear
when he made the turn, and he was two shots
ahead with two to play. With two putts for
the win from 25 feet, he ran his birdie
attempt about 5 feet by the hole and had to
make that to avoid a playoff with Dustin
Johnson and Jim Renner.
Its drama, man, Walker said on the 18th
green. It was too much for me.
The nish wasnt what he wanted. The
result was what Walker has come to expect.
He was never seriously challenged until
Johnson, and then Renner, put together a
strong nish. Johnson, a two-time winner
at Pebble Beach, closed with a 66 on a card
that included three bogeys. Renner, who had
yet to make a cut all year, made ve birdies
on the back nine for a 67.
Walker made a 10-foot birdie on the 11t h
hole and was seemingly on his way.
But he hit a poor chip on the par-3 12th
for a bogey. He three-putted the 13th for a
bogey. He three-putted the 17th for bogey,
missing his par putt from 3 1/2 feet.
I hate three-putting, Walker said. I had
two of them back there, and denitely didnt
want another one on the last.
Walker finished on 11-under 277 and
earned $1.188 million, expanding his lead
in the Ryder Cup standings to more than $1
million over Mickelson in second place.
The Ryder Cup is based on PGA Tour earn-
ings, though there are still four majors
(which count double), three World Golf
Championships and The Players
Championship remaining.
For now, the stars are aligned for Walker
better than anything he sees through his
high-powered telescope, his hobby over
the last ve years.
I just go out and play golf, Walker said.
This is what I want to do and Ive worked
really hard to do it, to be here, and to be in
this position and its really cool.
Jordan Spieth had to return Sunday morn-
ing to complete his third round, which
ended with his sixth three-putt of the round
for a 78. He faced Pebble at its most vicious
throughout the third round, though he
bounced back with a bogey-free 67 to at
least tie for fourth with Kevin Na (69).
And he hasnt lost his sense of humor.
Yesterday was a day where you want to
play Pebble Beach in that weather once in
your life, Spieth said. You just dont want
it be Saturday when youre in the lead.
Chalk it up to another learning experi-
ence for Spieth, who said his 36 putts were
more a product of not having the speed than
the less-than-smooth quality.
I felt like I needed birdies when I didnt,
he said.
Another strong nish belonged to Graeme
McDowell, returning to Pebble for the rst
time since his U.S. Open title in 2010. He
closed with a 67, happy with a week in
which he would have settled for just knock-
ing some rust off his game before heading to
Riviera next week.
Outside of Walker, however, the big win-
ner was Renner.
He was among the Web.com Tour gradu-
ates who played poorly in the four nals
event that determine priority ranking, and
struggled to get into tournaments. In his
fth start, he not only made his rst cut,
Renner earned a spot at Riviera next week
and will be in better position to get into
events over the next couple of months.

Police: Fans injured by shots outside WCup stadium
SAO PAULO Authorities say three fans were injured in a
shooting after a soccer game at a World Cup stadium.
The fans injuries were not life-threatening.
Police ofcer Francisco Araujo Silva told the sports daily
Lance that the shots were red by two men riding a motorcy-
cle as local America supporters left the Arena das Dunas in
the northeastern city of Natal on Saturday.
It wasnt the rst incident involving fans in Natal this
year. Before the stadiums inauguration in January, police
arrested two men who shot at a group of rival fans just a few
miles away.
Fan violence has been common in Brazil as it nalizes its
World Cup preparations.
Just a week ago, Corinthians fans invaded the teams train-
ing center and threatened players.
Tokyo pledges to bring
women into 2020 committee
SOCHI, Russia Japanese organizers of the 2020 Tokyo
Olympics say theyre looking to bring women into the fold.
Tokyo has come under scrutiny for forming a mostly older,
male-only leadership team. The committee is headed by 76-
year-old Yoshiro Mori, a former Japanese prime minister.
Mori acknowledged the issue at a news conference Sunday
in Sochi, saying, we will take care to have female members
as well as young people when the executive board is
expanded.
Mori initially declined to head the committee, citing his
age, but reconsidered after no other suitable candidates from
the business community volunteered.
Mori also was asked why he and other Tokyo leaders dont
speak English. He replied that he was a second grader when
World War II ended and English was considered the enemys
language.

Missouri All-American
says he is gay
Missouri All-American Michael
Sam says he is gay, and the defen-
sive end could become the rst
openly homosexual player in the
NFL.
In interviews with ESPN, The
New York Times and Outsports that
were published Sunday, Sam said
his teammates and coaches at
Missouri have known since
August.
I am an openly, proud gay
man, he said.
The 255-pound Sam participated
in the Senior Bowl in Mobile,
Ala., last month after leading the
SEC in sacks (11.5) and tackles for
loss (19), and he is projected to be
a mid-round NFL draft pick.
Its a big deal. No one has done
this before. And its kind of a nerv-
ous process, but I know what I
want to be ... I want to be a foot-
ball player in the NFL, he said in
the interviews.
There have been numerous NFL
players who have come out after
their playing days, including
Kwame Harris and Dave Kopay.
Last year, NBA player Jason
Collins announced he was gay
after the season. Collins, a 35-
year-old backup center, was a free
agent and has not signed with a
new team this season. MLS star
and U.S. national team player
Robbie Rogers also came out a
year ago.

et weather nally! In addi-
tion to being good for our water
supply (though still a drop in
the proverbial bucket), this also presents
a fantastic, albeit, slightly goofy social-
ization opportunity for you and your
puppy or young dog. Before you slide on
your galoshes, let me explain. Dogs who
grow up without being exposed to much
can develop fears. Afear of rain is one of
them. Other common fears include car
rides, stairs and vacuum cleaners, even cer-
tain types of people such as men, little
people and people with deep voices, facial
hair or people riding bikes or skateboards.
So, your job is to expose them to all these
things and people at an early age and help
your dog develop condence and comfort
through familiarity. You can start this
weekend by taking a walk in the rain with
your dog. Make the outdoors your training
lab this weekend. Take your pup in your
yard while its raining and do something
fun. If she has a favorite toy, play a game
of fetch and praise her more than you nor-
mally do when she retrieves. If you dont
have a yard, take a short walk with her on
leash. Give her treats during the walk,
practice the sit command when you
reach street corners and offer a lot of
good girls when she obeys. The idea is
to make the game of fetch or the walk the
most fun shes ever had. Once you do this
with her a few times multiple outings
over the weekend or a short period of time
are ideal your dog wont associate rainy
weather with negative reactions like hesi-
tancy or fear. You can apply the same idea
to other things that elicit fears. Then, you
wont have those situations you need to
work around, which can be slightly
annoying to life altering.

tional $69.1 million debut at the weekend
box ofce, according to studio estimates.
The better-than-expected result made the
Warner Bros. collaboration with the Danish
toy company easily the biggest hit of the
year so far. A sequel is already in develop-
ment for the 3-D animated lm, digitally
drawn to mimic a world composed entirely
of Lego bricks.
The lm has drawn raves from critics. Co-
directors and co-writers Phil Lord and Chris
Miller (21 Jump Street, Cloudy With a
Chance of Meatballs) gave the lm a play-
ful tone to capture the whimsy of a child
playing in a box of Legos. Characters are
largely voiced by comic actors like Wi l l
Ferrell and Chris Pratt.
The lm marks the biggest animation hit
for Warner Bros., a studio that despite popular
live-action franchises has struggled to devel-
op animated hits on par with other studios.
I cant imagine this not turning into a
long-term franchise, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for
box-ofce tracker Rentrak. This is such a
runaway success that Warner Bros is now a
major player in the animated genre.
Dan Fellman, head of distribution for
Warner Bros., said the lm, made with a pro-
duction budget of $60 million, resounded
because of the popularity of the Lego brand.
This is the rst feature lm for the toy com-
pany. Fellow toy-maker Hasbro has seen
mixed results since the launch of the
Transformers franchise, which was fol-
lowed by G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra and
the notorious op Battleship.
George Clooneys World War II caper The
Monuments Men opened in second place
with $22.7 million. Reviews have been
weak for the based-on-a-true-story tale
about the mission to retrieve artwork stolen
by the Nazis.
The Sony Pictures lm was postponed
from a Dec. 25 release because, Clooney
then said, more time was needed to nish
the visual effects. Clooney served as direc-
tor, co-writer, producer and star on the lm.
The Monuments Men, based on the
nonction book by Robert Edsel and Brett
Witter, was particularly popular with older
moviegoers, with 75 percent of its audience
aged 35 and older.
Its right where we hoped to be, said
Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony.
Theres a lot of love for George and the
ensemble cast.
Sliding to third was the cop comedy Ride
Along, with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube. After
three straight weeks atop the box ofce, the
Universal lm earned $9.4 million.

The citys only going to be as
good as its worst spot, Toy said.
Theres no easy solution to
restore a community; but theyll
take it one step at a time, building
momentum and start with aesthetic
improvements, Toy said.
The collaborative initiative was
inspired when Minerva Pulido
bought the long-vacant Blu-
White Laundry building and a
neighboring vacant lot at 33 N. B
St. Pulido plans to relocate her
successful Mi Rancho Market
from across the street to a new
14,000-square-foot grocery store,
Pulido said.
Shes moved by the support
from the mayor, city manager and
staff who have joined in bolster-
ing her desire to improve the area,
Pulido said.
We all are hopeful that this
will bring a lot of people down
these streets and I know it will
not only benet me, itll benet
the rest of the businesses as well
and itll make a difference. And the
support, were definitely happy
and thankful for the support and
all of the city employees that are
helping with this process, Pulido
said.
Laurie Watanukis family owned
the Blu-White Laundry and has
seen previous projects proposed
and abandoned due to turns of the
real estate market. She is president
of the Central Neighborhood
Association southeast of down-
town and has disappointedly
watched as the quality of North B
Street deteriorated. She hopes the
initiative will help create an invit-
ing walkway for people go to and
from the train station, Watanuki
said.
I think its especially going to
be an improvement to the pedes-
trian experience. Its important
that they have a good experience
and a pleasant experience going to
the transit area, Watanuki said.
The beautication of [North] B
Street is very positive.
Toy said he agrees improve-
ments will help people become
less car-centric and walk or bike
instead. San Mateo is diverse but
there seems to be an articial bor-
der between North B Street and the
hub of downtown, Toy said.
Were multicultural and this is
one of the cultures, thats the
Latino community, thats kind of
pushed to the side. And why? It
shouldnt be, Toy said.
The Peninsula Conflict
Resolution Center has been tasked
with facilitating all of the differ-
ent organizations involved to
come together and talk about their
ideas, business strategies and
ways to gain support, Mayor
Robert Ross said. He wants to
make sure they incorporate as
many businesses and community
members as possible and hes
looking at reaching out to poten-
tial investors and Caltrain repre-
sentatives, Ross said.
Im really excited about it. Itd
be really neat to see that area just
get revitalized over the next few
years and only get better, Ross
said.
The Peninsula Italian American
Social Club is active on North B
Street and board member Alfred
Pucci knows of the streets strug-
gles.
The feeling is its not pedestri-
an friendly, its not well lit. We
have some loitering and I think
the [initiative] is going to go a
long way to curing it, Pucci said.
This movement can do wonders
for the diverse area and Pulidos
redevelopment will hopefully
encourage other property owners
and organizations to join her,
Pucci said.
I think [the initiative] will be a
stimulus for everyone else to clean
up the front of their buildings and
bring them up to the current time
and make it a real nice area, Pucci
said.
The North B Street Improvement
Initiative is gaining traction and
it will continue to host focus
groups and work on vetting rec-
ommendations out in April,
Clarke said. But with the high
interest and diverse support the
initiative is building, Clarke said
hes condent San Mateo will see a
revitalized North B Street.
With a community process like
this, the skys the limit, Clarke
said. The community will be able
to voice their ideas and see what
we can get done. With the partici-
pation of city staff, the communi-
t y, stakeholders, property owners,
merchants, this is the way to get
something great done together.

STREET
won the worlds rst air meet at Rheims,
France with a speed of 46.5 mph over ve
miles in just under 16 minutes. Curtiss aced
out the great French aviator Louis Bleriot.
Bleriot later that year ew over the English
Channel for the rst time. Curtiss, who
owned a bicycle shop, raced bicycles and
constructed motorcycles, had set an unof-
cial world record 136.38 mph on a 40-
horsepower motorcycle of his design, in
1907. The engine he designed, an air-cooled
F-head, was the beginning of his career in
manufacturing engines for airplanes.
Between 1909 and 1912, The G.H. Curtiss
Manufacturing Company produced the most
successful aircraft of the pioneer era the
Curtiss D-III Headless Pusher.
Improvements in control of these planes
spurred sales to the public and the military.
His JN-4D Jenny of World War I became
famous after its introduction into the war.
The Army purchased thousands of these
planes over the years.
In 1909 and 1910, Curtiss employed
numerous demonstration pilots to advertise
his planes. This was the beginning of the
barnstorming across the United States.
The death rate was high, but many pilots
couldnt resist the thrill of doing daredevil
stunts on what would be called recreation
aircraft today. Flying under bridges and
through open doors of a barn was expected
of these daredevils. Few survived the stress-
es put on their aircraft that made wings falls
off and planes nose-dive into the ground.
In Jan. 10-20, 1910, the Dominguez
International Air Meet was put on in Los
Angle. It was the biggest display of aero-
nautics for the first time in the United
States.
After the Dominguez Air Show was con-
cluded, many of the pilots, along with their
air machines, traveled to Tanforan race track
in San Bruno to hold a meet. Monoplanes,
diplanes and triplanes crowded the race track
for three days while pilots like world
famous Louis Paulhan demonstrated the art
of flying an airplane. In January 1910,
thousands arrived from San Francisco on the
#40 trolley line to ooh and aah at the
daring exploits the daredevils offered.
Paulham soared above the crowds to more
than 700 feet before swooping down over
the eld. He set no records that day but the
crowd long remembered him and his magnif-
icent machine.
On Sept. 17, 1911, Eugene Ely arrived at
Tanforan. Ely had been demonstrating the
Curtiss Pusher across the country and had
recently completed the rst aircraft takeoff
from a naval vessel, USS Birmingham, at
Hampton Roads, Va., on Nov. 14, 1910.
This successful operation paid him $500
and a commission as a lieutenant in the
California National Guard. On Sept. 17,
1911, he completed a successful landing and
takeoff on another naval ship in the San
Francisco Bay. Ten years later, the Navy
completed its rst aircraft carrier due to
Eugene Elys demonstration in California.
On Oct. 19, 1911, Ely was killed when his
plane didnt pull out of a dive and it crashed.
On Feb. 16, 1933, Eugene Ely was awarded
the Distinguished Flying Cross posthu-
mously, for extraordinary achievement as a
pioneer civilian aviator and for his signi-
cant contribution to the development of
aviation in the United States Navy.

ing a repeat concussion. Repeat or
later concussions can be very serious.
They can cause permanent brain dam-
age, affecting a person for a lifetime,
according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
The testing encourages education
about a very important topic, said
Karen Li, wellness coordinator for the
Sequoia Union High School District. Li
worked with Sequoia Hospital
Community Grant Representative
Marie Violet to establish a partnership
between the hospital and the district
for the pilot. The hospital ultimately
paid for the pilot, including providing
personnel to administer the tests and
the software itself. Pediatricians Eileen
Chan and Niki Saxena had come to the
hospital saying they were seeing more
and more kids with concussions.
Parents were joking: cant we just pre-
tend everyone has to do it? Harman said.
Because they care about their kids.
Meanwhile, Woodsides athletic
director Wendy Porter said apart from
the obvious benets of the testing, stu-
dents get a measure of control over
their own health with the testing.
There have been other efforts to
make sure students are staying safe. For
example, in January 2013, the state
mandated concussion training for all
high school coaches, paid or unpaid,
every two years that reviews recogniz-
ing the signs and symptoms of concus-
sions. Some of the signs include
appearing dazed or stunned; confusion
about assignment or position; forget-
ting an instruction; being unsure about
the game, score or opponent; moving
clumsily; answering questions slowly;
losing consciousness (even briey);
inability to recall events prior to the
hit or fall; showing mood, behavior or
personality changes; and other symp-
toms.
Ninth-grade lacrosse player Deven
Hills took the test and said he found it
to be challenging, but interestingly
formatted.
I had never thought of doing one (a
test) before, he said. I would do it
again. It raised my awareness for the
potential for [a concussion].
Li hopes to bring the testing to other
schools and sports such as cheer-
leading, soccer, football and others
and said it would be ideal to do testing
once a year. She also wants to encour-
age athletes to get tested if they think
they may have a concussion.
The schools principal Diane
Burbank spoke to Li about bringing
testing to Woodside and was glad to end
up piloting the program.
In the athletics world, the topic of
concussions is very prevalent,
Burbank said. Its happening at all
levels in Pee Wee, Little League,
high school and professional levels.
Weve done a lot of work with preven-
tion and so the next thing to do was
look at new technology.
Based on the results of the pilot,
Burbank said the school will look at if
the testing is usable and if theres value
to the amount of time and cost of the
testing. Violet noted the pilot will help
develop protocol and procedures for
using the test. Hopefully the pilot will
be expanded, she said.

services it requires. The banking and
reporting services required will now be

billing process, Arnott wrote in a
board report.
The changes have already flown
through the investment pools over-

without any opposition and all pool
participants were alerted via mail.
In the same policy statement, Arnott
notes that the pool grew .71 percent or
$23.344 million in scal year 2012-
2013 due to investments.

5.9 percent of its $2.6 billion in
Lehman Brothers.
The policy has since been revamped

seen or new things that have come up,
Munks said.
County staff is also separately look-
ing at zoning issues that might possi-
bly restrict further where massage
businesses are located in the unincor-
porated areas of the county but that is
unrelated to the proposed ordinance.
Unincorporated San Mateo County
currently is home to six massage par-
lors in North Fair Oaks. There were
eight but two have been shut down,
Munks said.
One proposed amendment would
mandate a business either keep its
records in an unlocked area or give on-
site employees access so that inspec-
tors during regular hours are not told
they cannot have the documents.
Another change would prevent busi-
ness owners serving or appealing a
suspension, revocation or ne from
selling or transferring their business
during that period.
Right now, its pretty easy for them
to transfer the license to another oper-
ator and keep going on like business
as usual, Munks said.
The countys ordinance has been
very helpful in controlling the mas-
sage industry, he said.
San Mateo County has oversight of
the establishment through zoning,
business licenses and registration but
practitioners may also voluntarily
receive a certificate from the state
California Massage Therapy Council.
The certicate lets a worker practice in
any city or county without a local per-
mit. The 2009 shift to the state was
meant to free practitioners from back-
ground checks and license fees in any
and all cities where they worked.
Counties and cities cant impose more
stringent or different requirements on
massage workers than those from the
state.

There Is
New Hope!
A Health Center
Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
If you suffer with lower back,
neck, or leg pain, we invite you to try
our non surgical solution. The pain
from degenerating and bulging discs
affects everything that you do, from
work, to play, and ultimately your
quality of life. At Crossroads Heath
Center, we have created an entire
facility dedicated to patients with
severe disc conditions that have not
responded to traditional care. Our
revolutionary, Crossroads Method,
provides a very high success rate to
patients with serious back, neck,
leg and arm pain even when all
else has failed. This FDA cleared;
non-surgical treatment allows us
to rehabilitate your herniated or
degenerative disc(s) by reversing
internal pressure and enabling your
disc(s) to heal from the inside out.
We succeed where other treatments
have failed by removing the
pressure that is causing pain to
your disc(s) and nerves without
drugs, injections, invasive surgery or
harmful side effects.
The only ofce to have
The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!
Lisa K. San Jose, 2013
I came in to Dr. Ferrigno for
lower back pain. Its a problem
that I have had for about 10 to
15 years. I tried everything from
physiatrists, medical doctors,
doctor of osteopathy, chiropractic,
acupuncture, pain medications,
epidural injections and everything
was a temporary fx. I decided to try
the DRX therapy and Ive gone from
an average pain level between 5/7
out of 10 all the way down to a pain
level of 1 to 2 pretty consistently.
The DRX was defnitely the only
thing that has made me feel better.
Brian G. Los Gatos CA. 2013
How Will I Know If I Qualify
for Treatment?
When you come in for a
complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform
a comprehensive examination to
determine exactly where the pain is
coming from. If x-rays are necessary,
we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
treatment protocol.
If we dont feel like we can help we
will refer you to someone who can.

Bulging, Herniated or Degenerative Disc?
