With changes to the states fund-
ing formula for public schools
intended to give more money to
districts with high numbers of
economically disadvantaged,
English-learners or foster chil-
dren, some local districts are con-
cerned it will hit their schools
budgets hard.
This is mostly true for school
districts funded by local property
taxes, called basic aid, say some
school ofcials. The South San
Francisco Unied School District
is afraid it will be one such loser.
The district could be set back $5
million to $8 million this year
with the new formula, said Trustee
Philip Weise.

Foster City will be narrowing in
Thursday night on a plan to devel-
op 66 affordable senior housing
units if the Planning Commission
approves the nonprofit MidPen
Housing Corporations use permit
and environmental impact report
for its portion of the Foster Square
site.
The city sold off its remainder of
the long-vacant 15-acre site near
City Hall last November to the
blanket developer the New Home
Company for $30 million with the
condition that a senior housing
complex would be constructed.
The site will be distributed
piecemeal to different developers
and eventually turned into 200 for-
sale condos, about 134 to 155
assisted living units, 66 afford-
able senior housing units, retail
space and parking structure at the
site adjacent to City Hall.
At the time of the sale, the EIR
for the General Plan was approved.
The Planning Commission has
since determined that the specics
for MidPens proposal are consis-
tent with the original EIR and do
not require further review, said
Community Development
Director Curtis Banks. MidPen
will now begin the process of
securing nancing.

Interim Community Development Director Rory Walsh, Councilman David Lim, Mayor Robert Ross and Interim
City Manager Larry Patterson discuss a recently released audit report of the city of San Mateos Community
Development Department.
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateos self-imposed audit
of its Community Development
Department culminated with the
release of a report that revealed
struggles with a thinly stretched
staff, poor communication and
uneven service for those looking
to conduct business with the city.
The City Council will review the
265-page report prepared by
Zucker Systems to assess imple-
mentation tactics during a study
session Feb. 18.
Some of the 224 recommenda-
tions the council will consider
include overall departmental struc-
tural changes, establishing meas-
urable performance standards,
integrating new technologies,
implementing changes to the
building and planning divisions,
recruiting staff for vacant and new
positions and remodeling the
front counter to be more hos-
pitable to the public.
These recommendations pro-
vide a road map for making
improvements to the Community
Development Department that will
improve customer service, lead to
better communication with the
community and enhance collabo-
ration between departments,
Mayor Robert Ross said in a press
release.
After a breakdown in staff and
council communication that land-
ed the city entangled in a lawsuit
over the opening of a 7-Eleven in
a residential neighborhood, of-
cials opted to undergo an inde-
pendent management audit of the
department in September.

ment, building and neighborhood

Ohio woman offers beer,
smokes as lost dog reward
DAYTON, Ohio An Ohio woman
made iers offering a case of beer and a
pack of cigarettes as a reward for nd-
ing her lost dog and it worked.
Twenty-three-year-old Abigail Miller
of Dayton offered the unusual reward
after her two dogs escaped through an
open gate on Jan. 2.
She found one of them at a local ani-
mal shelter a few days later, but the
other, a Husky named Zoro, remained
missing.
The Dayton Daily News reports that
Miller came up the reward because she
could afford it and figured it would
attract attention.
She was right. The man who called
and told Miller where to nd her dog
turned down the reward, but she says
shes going to offer him some food
from the sandwich shop where she
works.
Upland razes tent
city populated by homeless
UPLAND Acity in San Bernardino
County has bulldozed a tent city that
had been populated by several dozen
homeless people for about nine
months.
The Sun newspaper reports crews
worked Tuesday to clear tents, blan-
kets, chairs from the nearly ve-acre
site.
Upland obtained a temporary
restraining order last week, allowing
city ofcials to give a 72-hour notice
to evict the group. The city said the
camp had grown to more than 100 peo-
ple and nearby businesses claimed it
was a public nuisance.
Jeff Zwack, Uplands development
services director, says the city had to
intervene as the property is tied up in
bankruptcy proceedings, and there is
no clear owner.
Local church leaders say they believe
Upland is trying to push the homeless
problem out of the city rather than nd-
ing a solution.
Rare tortoises
branded to curb poaching
LOS ANGELES Southern
California conservationists are carving
up the beautiful golden shells of rare
tortoises to protect them from poach-
ers.
The ploughshare tortoise is on the
brink of extinction after decades of
intense collecting, hunting and habitat
destruction. Anonprot turtle center in
Ventura County is engraving 2-inch-
high identication codes on the backs
of the animals so that they can be easi-
ly identied if sold on the international
black market.
Its heartbreaking that its come to
this but its the right thing to do, Paul
Gibbons, managing director of the
Turtle Conservancys Behler
Chelonian Center, told the Los Angeles
Times.
Two turtles own in from Taiwan were
marked Tuesday. They were seized there
in 2008 and the female laid eggs in
November. The eggs are being incubat-
ed, but its unclear whether they are fer-
tile, Gibbons said.
The center hopes to mark all 360
ploughshares in captive breeding pro-
grams around the world and 300 in the
wild.
The shells of two confiscated
ploughshares were engraved at the
Singapore Zoo in December.
So far, no marked tortoises have
shown up in illegal markets.
The engraving lasts for the life of the
tortoise, which is roughly 160 years.
The ploughshare is the worlds rarest
tortoise and each one can sell for tens
of thousands of dollars on the Asian
black market, conservationists said.
Dozens of other turtle and tortoise
species also are endangered.
In October, the Turtle Conservancy
helped mark the shells of 150 Burmese
star tortoises in Myanmar.
Last week, more than 8,000 pig-
nosed turtles were found hidden in suit-
cases at an Indonesian airport. They
were believed headed for China and
Singapore.
In December authorities at a Thai air-
port checking unclaimed luggage arriv-
ing from Bangladesh discovered 432
protected tortoises and 52 black pond
turtles, valued at about $110,000.

ASan Carlos PetSmart worker and her hus-
band are in the legal doghouse after alleged-
ly using dog owners boarding services as a
way to gauge when they would be away vaca-
tioning and their vacant homes prime tar-
gets for burglary.
Prosecutors say Ashley Kirk and Juan
Ortega-Ramos, both 24 and of San Jose,
used the scheme several times to steal elec-
tronics, jewelry and cars including a
Porsche from a Portola Valley home. Kirk,
who worked in the stores PetsHotel board-
ing service department, would gure out
when the dog owners were on vacation and
pass on the information to Ortega-Ramos
who would commit the robberies, according
to Sheriffs Ofce spokeswoman Rebecca
Rosenblatt.
Authorities arrested the
pair, then dating, in
September 2013 after the
silver Porsche 991S
found in the 1100 block
of Shoreway Road in
Belmont traced back to a
vehicle stolen earlier that
day. That home on
Hillbrook Drive in
Portola Valley had also
been burglarized.
The couple bailed out but was arrested
again Monday on $500,000 warrants on
suspicion of several other burglaries after
sheriffs investigators spent ve months
looking at just how far the crime spree
extended, Rosenblatt said.
Ultimately, the couple were linked to bur-
glaries in Foster City, Portola Valley,
Woodside and Redwood City.
Both Kirk and Ortega-Ramos each pleaded
not guilty Tuesday to
eight counts of residen-
tial burglary, one count of
possessing stolen prop-
erty, two counts of car
theft and being Norteo
gangmembers. The cou-
ple also asked for court-
appointed attorneys and
did not waive their right
to a speedy prosecution.
They return to court Jan.
28 for a preliminary hearing and remain in
custody on $500,000 bail.
If convicted, they face about 15 years
prison, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Administrators in the San Mateo Union
High School District are seeing a 5 percent
raise this year.
At a meeting Monday night, the district
voted unanimously to give administrators a 5
percent raise for this school year, costing
$363,500. The 5 percent amount coincides
with the raise teachers received in October
2013 since the district follows a Me Too
funding model, said Kirk Black, associate
superintendent of human resources and
administrative services. The district employs
about 60 condential workers and classied
management, which include directors, prin-
cipals, assistant superintendents and others.
Were in a position where we can afford
to increase their pay, said board President
Linda Lees-Dwyer. Theyre hard working
and do a really good job. We have strong
administrators.
The Me Too model, Black said, is ef-
cient since there is less time spent bargain-
ing, but theres less exibility for salaries
this way.
Back in October 2013, the district voted
4-1 to give teachers a 5 percent raise for this
school year, costing $2,367,500. The
negotiations started at the end of the last
school year, but the San Mateo Union High
School District Teachers Association and
the district decided to postpone the talks
until the states new Local Control Funding
Formula was clearer since this would affect
the districts budget.
Administrators received a 2 percent raise
last year, Black said.

Four homes burglarized in San Bruno
San Bruno police responded to a string of

ing to police.

Pacifica police seek man
suspected of fatal hit-and-run crash
Police are asking for the publics help in
tracking down a suspect who fatally struck a
pedestrian in Pacica Tuesday evening.
Ofcers responded to a report of a vehicle
vs. pedestrian crash in the rst block of
Palmetto Avenue at about 7:40 p.m., police
said. Police said the reporting party informed
dispatch that the vehicle involved in the inci-
dent ed the scene.
When ofcers arrived, a man around 50
years old was found in the road. The victim,
whose name has not yet been released, was
pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect vehicle is only described as
gray or dark colored, possibly a Monte
Carlo, Charger or similar type car. It was last
seen heading north on Palmetto Avenue,
police said.
Anyone with information about the crash
is asked to call (650) 738-7314 or anony-
mously at (650) 359-4444.
New flu deaths reported in Napa,
Contra Costa and Monterey counties
The death toll from this years u season
continued to rise Wednesday with reports
from health ofcials of three new u-related
deaths in the Bay Area and two in Monterey
County.
The recent reports brought the total number
of u-related deaths reported in the Bay Area
to 21, most of them linked to the H1N1 strain
of the virus, also known as the swine u.
That gure is probably low, however,
because the California Department of Health
only requires hospitals to report deaths of
patients under 65 years old.
Napa County reported its rst conrmed u-
related death today, an 84-year-old man with
multiple medical issues, according to county
spokeswoman Elizabeth Emmett.
San Francisco mayor calls for end of
Sunday parking meter enforcement
Ayear after San Francisco began activating
city parking meters on Sundays, Mayor Ed
Lee said Wednesday that he wants to scrap the
program.
Lee will formally announce his desire to
abolish Sunday parking meter enforcement
during his State of the City address on Friday
morning. I was never a big fan of metering
people on Sundays, the mayor said.
He said the proposal came about as a way to
bring in money for the Muni system, which
was badly underfunded.
Were guring our way out of that, so why
not stop nickel-and-diming people on
Sundays? Lee said.
He noted that a city transportation task
force has come up with some other revenue-
generating plans, including asking voters to
approve a transportation bond measure that
would appear on the November ballot.
He said his ofce has gotten constant com-
plaints about the Sunday metering since
enforcement began on Jan. 27, 2013.
It hasnt stopped, it hasnt ended since the
day the city and Muni imposed it, Lee said.
People are still not used to it.
Police, CHP look for missing man
The California Highway Patrol and Daly
City police are searching for an elderly at-
risk man who was last seen at his Daly City
home at about 8 p.m. Tuesday.
CHP Ofcer Kevin Bartlett said Daly City
police have issued an alert and are asking
anyone who might have seen 71-year-old
Ishwar Patel to call police.
Patel is described as an Indian man with
black hair and dark eyes. He is about 5 feet 6
inches tall and weighs about 180 pounds.
Patel suffers from a medical condition and
may be disoriented, Bartlett said. Anyone
who comes into contact with Patel is asked to
call police at (650) 991-8119.

The move is a novel way for the San
Mateo company to nance the enor-
mous cost of installing panels on
thousands of roofs a typical resi-
dential system costs $25,000
while appealing to retail investors
who are on the hunt for better rates of
return than they can nd in savings
accounts and government bonds.
The securities will likely be similar
to bonds or certicates of deposit. But
instead of being backed by SolarCity,
they would be backed by hundreds or
thousands of contracts with rooftop
solar customers. Wall Street has long
created such products, called securiti-
zations, which bundle assets such as
mortgages or other loans into securi-
ties that can then be bought and sold.
Now SolarCity wants to offer its
own version through its website.
SolarCity Corp. CEO Lyndon Rive
said in an interview that he expects
the company will offer several types
of products that investors could hold
for different lengths of time, or even
trade. He expects eventually to raise
billions of dollars this way.
We are constantly asked, When are
you coming to my state? or When are
you coming to our country? People
everywhere want to participate in this
transformation, says Rive. With our
investment platform, even if we cant
put panels on everyones roof today,
we can still give many of them an
opportunity to participate in solars
growth.
SolarCity said Wednesday that it has
purchased privately held financial
technology company Common Assets
LLC to provide the investment plat-
form. SolarCity shares rose $2.85 or
4.4 percent, to $68.40 in trading
Wednesday afternoon.
SolarCity pays to install and main-
tain rooftop solar systems for homes
or businesses in exchange for month-
ly payments for the power that the
panels produce. The company has
raised money to pay for these systems
several different ways.

SACRAMENTO California of-
cials sought Wednesday to reassure
congressional Republicans that the
state will be able to match billions of
dollars in federal funding for the states
high-speed rail project, including a
$180 million payment due in April.
Funding for the $68 billion bullet
train system is in legal limbo after two
court rulings last year, one of which
prevented the state from selling $8.6
billion in bonds that it had intended to
use to pay its share of the project. The
federal government has awarded $3.5
billion in grants to the project, includ-
ing $2.5 billion in federal stimulus
money, which requires a dollar-for-dol-
lar match and must be spent by 2017.
Rep. Jeff Denham, a Republican from
the Central Valley, called Wednesdays
hearing of the House Subcommittee on
Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous
Materials to investigate whether the
federal government should continue
funding the project while Californias
money is tied up. Denham, who has
sought to block further funding, noted
that the omnibus budget bill Congress
was to begin voting on Wednesday
contains no money for high-speed rail.
Its clear that the federal govern-
ment will not be the source of more
funding, he said at the hearing, which
was held in Washington and carried
live online. Denham said he would
introduce legislation this week seek-
ing to suspend any further federal pay-
ments for Californias high-speed rail
project.

Report: Recidivism fell
before prison realignment
SACRAMENTO Californias
recidivism rate dropped in the
years before Gov. Jerry Browns
realignment law took effect, even
though six of every 10 offenders
returned to prison, the corrections
department said in a report released
Wednesday.
The report said 61 percent of
felons released between July 2008
and June 2009 committed new
crimes within three years.
High as that might be, it was
down from 67 percent for inmates
released in 2005 and 2006, when
California had one of the nations
highest recidivism rates.
Corrections ofcials could not
say how the latest rate compares
with other states, but Corrections
Secretary Jeff Beard called the
decline encouraging.
Under realignment, which took
effect in October 2011, the state
began keeping lower-level offend-
ers in county jails instead of send-
ing them to state prisons. The
move came in response to a federal
court order to reduce prison over-
crowding.
Researchers said that change did
not significantly affect the new
report because it tracked offenders
released before realignment. Beard
said in a statement that he is con-
dent rates will continue to decline
as the state and counties spend
more money on rehabilitation pro-
grams.
Court: Feds can target
California pot clinics
SAN FRANCISCO An appeals
court has ruled that California med-
ical marijuana dispensaries have no
protection under state law from fed-
eral drug prosecutions.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals ruled Wednesday that
Californias law allowing marijua-
na use with a doctors recommenda-
tion doesnt shield dispensaries,
their landlords and customers from
criminal charges and government
lawsuits. All uses of marijuana are
illegal under federal law, even in
states that have legalized pot.
The ruling upholds three lower
court rulings and follows previous
decisions by federal appeals courts
and the U.S. Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON Both highly
critical and bipartisan, a Senate
report declared Wednesday that the
deadly assault on the American
diplomatic compound in
Benghazi, Libya, could have been
prevented. The account spreads
blame among the State
Department, the military and U.S.
intelligence for missing what now
seem like obvious warning signs.
For the rst time in the much-
politicized aftermath, the report
also points at Ambassador Chris
Stevens, who was killed in the
attack. It says that the State
Department ended a deal with the
military to have a special opera-
tions team provide extra security
in Libya, and that Stevens twice
refused an offer to reinstate the
team in the weeks before the Sept.
11, 2012, attack.
The military also takes criticism
in the report for failing to respond
more quickly on the night of the
assault.
On the 11th anniversary of the
9/11 terror attacks in the U.S.,
armed militants stormed the diplo-
matic outpost in Benghazi, set-
ting the building on re. Stevens,
information technology special-
ist Sean Smith, and CIA security
contractors Tyrone Woods and
Glen Doherty, both former Navy
SEALs, were killed over the course
of two battles that night.
Stevens died of smoke inhala-
tion after he was taken to a safe
room in the besieged compound.
The Obama administration first
described the assault as a sponta-
neous mob protest of an anti-
Islamic, American-made video.
Such a protest did occur at the U.S.
Embassy in Cairo earlier that day.
Republican critics say the admin-
istration was reluctant to deal pub-
licly with a terror attack weeks
before the presidential election.
Ofcials corrected their descrip-
tion days after the attack, but by
then it had become a hot political
issue that has continued to dog the
administration.
On that issue, the report dives
into the contentious initial talk-
ing points issued by the intelli-
gence community, which helped
fuel Republican allegations of an
Obama administration cover-up of
militant links to the violence.
Intelligence analysts inaccu-
rately referred to the presence of a
protest at the U.S. mission facili-
ty before the attack based on open
source information and limited
intelligence, but without suffi-
cient intelligence or eyewitness
statements to corroborate that
assertion, the report said, adding
that U.S. intelligence then took
too long to correct the error.
The senators also take the
administration to task for failing
to bring the attackers to justice
more than a year later. They say
the U.S. has identified several
individuals responsible but cant
capture them because of limited
intelligence capabilities in the
region and limited cooperation by
local governments.
Intelligence Committee
Chairman Dianne Feinstein, a
Democrat, said she hoped the
report would put to rest conspiracy
theories about the attacks.
Republican Vice Chairman
Saxby Chambliss said the report
showed that despite a deteriorat-
ing security situation in
Benghazi, the U.S. government
did not do enough to prevent the
attacks or to protect the diplomat-
ic facility. And Republican com-
mittee member Susan Collins of
Maine called on the administra-
tion to punish those responsible.
A broken system overseen by
senior leadership contributed to
the vulnerability of U.S. diplo-
mats ... in one of the most danger-
ous cities in the world, she said
in the report. And yet the secre-
tary of state has not held anyone
responsible for the systems fail-
ings.
U.S. intelligence ultimately
blamed the violence on militants
who overran the temporary U.S.
mission and, hours later, fired
mortars at the nearby CIA annex
where the Americans had taken
shelter.
Senate panel: Benghazi
attack was preventable

SAN DIEGO California home
prices rose in December while
tight inventories kept a lid on
sales, a research firm reported
Wednesday.
The median sales price for new
and existing houses and condo-
miniums was $365,000 last
month, up 1.4 percent from
$360,000 in November and up
22.1 percent from $299,000 a
year ago, San Diego-based
DataQuick said.
It was the 22nd straight month
of annual gains, including the last
13 months with gains above 20
percent.
There were 34,949 homes sold,
up 4.5 percent from November but
down 12.1 percent from the year-
ago period. It was the lowest
December tally in six years.
Price increases have cooled
somewhat after a torrid run during
the rst half of 2013 but higher
prices have failed to lure many
potential sellers from the side-
lines, limiting choices for buyers
and further driving up prices.
The state had a 3.6-month sup-
ply of unsold single-family
homes in November, more than
the three-month supply a year ear-
lier but still far below the ve- to
seven-month supply that is con-
sidered normal, according to the
latest gures from the California
Association of Realtors.
In the San Francisco Bay Area,
the median sales price was
$548,500 in December, down 0.3
percent from $550,000 in
November but up 23.9 percent
from $442,750 a year earlier,
DataQuick said.
Prices in the nine-county region
have held steady since summer,
but December marked the 21st
straight month of annual increas-
es and 14th straight month of
annual increases above 20 per-
cent.
There were 6,714 homes sold in
the region, up 0.8 percent from
November but down 12.7 from
December 2012. Sales typically
increase from November to
December.

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 A $1.1 trillion spend-
ing bill for operating the government until
just before next falls election steamed
through the battle-weary House on
Wednesday over tepid protests from tea
party conservatives, driven by a bipartisan
desire to restore painful cuts in domestic and
defense programs and show disaffected vot-
ers that Congress can do its job.
The bill swept through the House on a
359-67 vote and was on track for a big
Senate vote by weeks end. Republicans
voted for the bill by a 2 1/2-1 margin, and
just three Democrats were opposed.
The measure funds virtually every agency
of government and contains compromises
on almost every one of its 1,582 pages. It
covers the one-third of government spend-
ing subject to annual decisions by Congress
and the White House, programs that have
absorbed the brunt of budget cuts racked up
since Republicans reclaimed control of the
House three years ago.
Excluded are the giant benet programs
like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and
food stamps that run on autopilot and are
increasingly driving the government deeper
into debt.
Tea party Republicans, chastened after
sparking a 16-day partial shutdown of the
government in October in a kamikaze
attempt to derail President Barack Obamas
health care law, appeared resigned to the
bill.
I dont think theres going to be a lot of
opposition, one tea party leader, Rep. Raul
Labrador, R-Idaho, said before the vote.
The die has been cast for the next year on
budget ghts.
To buy time for the Senate debate,
Congress on Wednesday sent President
Barack Obama a three-day funding bill in
time to avert a scheduled shutdown at mid-
night. The Senate cleared that measure by an
86-14 vote and Obama quickly signed it into
law.
The bill increases core agency spending
by $26 billion over the scal 2013 year that
began Oct. 1, after last years automatic
spending cuts took them to $986 billion.
But its $31 billion less than Congress
passed last March before automatic cuts
known as sequestration took effect.
The Pentagon faces a tight squeeze even as
it avoids what would have been another $20
billion wave of automatic cuts. The
Pentagons core budget is basically frozen at
$487 billion after most accounts absorbed
an 8 percent automatic cut last year. Adding
$6 billion to Obamas war request provides
some relief to readiness accounts, however,
though active duty troop levels would still
be cut by 40,000 to 1.36 million. It includes
$85 billion for overseas military opera-
tions, a slight cut from last year.
Domestic programs generally fare better
and are kept, on average, at levels agreed to
last year before the automatic cuts of 5 per-
cent kicked in across the board. Those
broadly applied cuts, called sequestration,
were triggered by Washingtons inability to
follow up a 2011 budget deal with additional
decit savings.
House passes $1.1T bill to fund government

OKLAHOMA CITY In less than a
month, two federal judges have struck
down state bans on gay marriage for the
same reason, concluding that they violate
the Constitutions promise of equal treat-
ment under the law.
Although that idea has been the heart
of the gay marriage debate for years, the
deci si ons i n deepl y conservat i ve
Oklahoma and Utah offer new momen-
t um for l i t i gant s pressi ng t he same
argument in dozens of other cases
across the country. And experts say the
rulings could represent an emergi ng
legal consensus that will carry the issue
back to the Supreme Court.
The judge who issued Tuesdays decision
in Oklahoma isnt stepping out on his
own, said Douglas NeJaime, a professor
of law at the University of California,
Irvine. Hes doing what a colleague in
another court did not long ago.
The more judges who issue such rulings,
the more authority other judges feel to
render similar decisions, said NeJaime,
who expects decisions soon from federal
courts in Virginia and Pennsylvania.
An attorney for the plaintiffs in the
Oklahoma case said the most important
question is whether the Supreme Court
agrees to decide the legality of gay mar-
riage bans now or whether the justices
bide their time.

Egyptian election official says turnout high
CAIRO Egypts top election official declared
Wednesday that turnout was high in a national referendum,
but a boycott by a wider-than-expected range of ultra-con-
servative Islamists raised the prospects of continued
polarization.
The majority of Egyptians who converged at the polls
appeared to support the charter, which was likely to pass
in voting Tuesday and Wednesday amid an intense media
campaign in its favor and a tight security grip silencing
its opponents. The interim government was seeking a
high turnout as a mandate for its vision of the countrys
future.
The constitution is a key piece of a political roadmap
toward new elections for a president and a test of public
opinion about the coup that removed Islamist President
Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood from
power last July. It is a heavily amended version of a con-
stitution written by Morsis Islamist allies and ratified in
December 2012 with some 64 percent of the vote but with
a nationwide turnout of just over 30 percent.
Mexico govt faces vigilante monster it created
APATZINGAN, Mexico Vigilantes who have chal-
lenged the governments authority in lawless Michoacan
state held onto their guns on Wednesday as federal author-
ities struggled to rein in a monster they helped create: cit-
izen militias that rose among farmers and lime-pickers to
fight a drug cartel.
Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong called
Monday for the vigilantes to drop their arms and go
home. But a new agreement with the so-called self-defense
groups left them holding onto their territory and their
guns, including high-caliber assault rifles that can only
be used by the military under Mexican law.
elected ofcials in Sacramento about the
negative impacts on the district, he said.
Most of the basic aid districts that are
impacted seem to be in San Mateo County
because of the property tax rates up here.
Were not in same boat as Hillsborough,
which is a rich basic aid district.
Back in August 2013, the Burlingame
Elementary School District projected it
would be losing approximately $140,000
in the 2013-14 school year switching off of
the former revenue limit program.
In this new system, we lose, Trustee
Gregory Land said at a meeting this past
summer. It solves some problems in our
state, but has consequences for districts like
us.
Chris Thomsen, a trustee for the Sequoia
Union High School District, said the impact
of the new formula is primarily on funding
for charter schools because the district is
basic aid.
Theres no impact this year because its
implemented gradually and its not a big
story immediately since its a pretty small
piece of the budget, he said. Funding lev-
els will go up for charter schools that serve
needier populations and the other issue is
specics havent actually been set.
The new Local Control Funding Formula
was signed into law July 1, 2013, and
changed the state funding formula for K-12
schools to help boost the academic achieve-
ment of disadvantaged students. The state
budget for the 2013-14 scal year provides
about $55.3 billion in local and state rev-
enue for K-12 education and two-year com-
munity colleges. Thats an increase of more
than $8 billion over the 2011-12 level
under the states school funding formula
known as Proposition 98. The new formula
will send $2.1 billion more to school dis-
tricts that have high numbers of students
from lower-income families, who have lim-
ited English prociency or are foster chil-
dren. During the rst year, the formula gives
school districts more control over state aid
by eliminating earmarks for state-mandated
programs, except for special education
funding.
As part of the new formula, school dis-
tricts, county ofces of education and char-
ter schools are required to develop, adopt
and annually update a three-year Local
Control and Accountability Plan, begin-
ning on July 1, using a template adopted by
the California State Board of Education on
or before March 31. Sequoia is held to this
LCAP process and will be forming a com-
mittee of parents and staff to give input into
the budgeting process by the end of the
month or early February, said
Superintendent Jim Lianides.
Other local basic aid districts arent so
concerned about the new formula, including
the Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary
School District. Superintendent Michael
Milliken said the new formula wont affect
the districts bottom line and he noted he
thinks its a very positive move to help
more disadvantaged students in California.
Meanwhile, Gary Waddell, deputy super-
intendent for the San Mateo County Ofce
of Education, said his ofce has been work-
ing on how to best support districts in
thoughtful planning processes that contin-
ually improve the learning conditions for
their students, including an information and
planning session at the Ofce of Education
last week.
While the California State Board of
Education is considering this item at their
meeting this week, our schools and districts
have engaged in some strategic thinking
around how they will address the eight state
priorities (for LCAP) that are outlined in the
LCFF legislation, he wrote in an email.
While the LCFF has different implications
for revenue limit and basic aid districts, the
focus for all districts at this juncture is
awaiting the state board action on the tem-
plate and guidance so that we can begin to
work collaboratively and build on the posi-
tive work that is already underway and
engage in thoughtful, intentional planning
around where that work might be continual-
ly improved and enhanced in the service of
our students.
The eight priorities for LCAP planning
include student engagement, student
achievement, school climate, basic servic-
es, implementation of the new Common
Core Standards, other student outcomes,
parental involvement and course access.
Waddell notes the formula is a solid con-
cept and a positive step forward in aligning
instructional planning and budgeting
processes.
The challenge with any change as large
as this one lies in the details, he wrote.
Our districts are eager to receive the tem-
plate and guidance from the state Board of
Education, once approved, to begin this
new type of planning and programmatic
design. This work has already prompted
positive conversations around reflection
and planning as we build thoughtful plans
that reinforce the best of what is currently
happening, our best thinking about how we
can expand and enhance service to those
students that need them the most, and work
collaboratively in the interest of our stu-
dents and communities.

tious planning process to ensure its able to
apply for federal assistance by the March
deadline, said Assistant City Manager Steve
Toler.
Thats kind of how that whole [project]
is lined up in the development agreement.
The council decided it was such a vital com-
ponent that basically everything in that
project is in the timelines of when afford-
able housing starts. Once the affordable
housing starts, then the rest of the develop-
ment will start, Toler said.
Providing affordable housing to the citys
aging population is essential in a town
where a one-bedroom apartment runs an
astonishing $2,500 per month, Toler said.
This component of the entire project
thats going to be a senior focused commu-
nity, these 66 units that MidPen is going to
build, is very vital to our city. It is a good
public social policy to provide affordable
housing units, Toler said.
The Association of Bay Area
Governments sets guidelines for the number
of affordable housing units each city is
responsible for providing. Foster Citys
Regional Housing Needs Allocation is for
430 units by 2022. The ability for Foster
City to uphold their obligation became
increasingly difcult after Gov. Jerry Brown
dispersed the states various redevelopment
agencies and the city has since been left to
look elsewhere for nancial assistance.
Despite the fact that the state of
California took millions of dollars from
Foster City that would have been used to
provide affordable housing, we have contin-
ued to look at creative ways to meet our
affordable housing obligations, Mayor
Charles Bronitsky wrote in an email.
MidPen is headquartered in Foster City
and thrilled that the council has shown ded-
ication to supporting both the aging and
income-restricted population, said MidPen
President Matt Franklin.
[MidPen is] based in Foster City so were
particularly proud of what the citys doing
here which is that they really stuck to their
stated policy commitment to provide and
encourage the development of housing
thats affordable for people who live in
Foster City, Franklin said.
Once the environmental impact report is
approved, MidPen will undergo an exten-
sive nancing endeavor that depends upon
three main sources. Foster City will be con-
tributing a $4.75 million loan to be repaid
over 55 years. Contingent on approval of
the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors, the county will likely con-
tribute about $2.75 million sourced from
the states dispersing of redevelopment
agency funds, Toler said.
MidPen will apply for a competitive fed-
eral tax credit program in March to fund the
bulk of its project, Toler said.
As a large Bay Area affordable housing
developer, the company is extremely expe-
rienced in navigating the application
process, Franklin said.
Were very familiar with the [federal tax
credit] program and were condent that this
is a winning application. The city and the
county both have really stepped forward and
made significant contributions to the
nancing, Franklin said.
If approved, it will secure funding in June
and is required to start construction by the
end of the year, Franklin said. The project is
estimated to take between 16 and 18
months. It will begin to take rental applica-
tions six or seven months prior to opening.
Affordable housing opportunities are typi-
cally oversubscribed and interested parties
will likely be chosen through a lottery,
Franklin said.
Future residents could qualify if their
income is 30 percent to 50 percent of the
area median income and can expect to pay
about $545 to $941 for a one-bedroom
apartment, according to MidPen ofcials.
To the legally allowable extent, the coun-
cil and MidPen have decided to give priority
to Foster City residents.
Theres a lot of folks whove lived and
worked in Foster City and San Mateo
County their whole lives and of course
many seniors make transitions in their liv-
ing environments as they reach their elder
years. I think a really important goal for the
city is to make sure they have a place [sen-
iors] can afford, Franklin said. Without
the provisions of these types of units, you
run a great risk that these folks will be
priced out of the area.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
By Ben Tripousis
F
or the past 150 years, Caltrain has
provided passenger rail service
along the Peninsula corridor, link-
ing communities from San Francisco to
San Jose. Its the oldest continuously oper-
ating rail line in the West, and remains one
of the most important passenger rails lines
in the San Francisco Bay Area.
As we commemorate this milestone, the
California High-Speed Rail Authority is
working in partnership with Caltrain, the
Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board and
regional stakeholders to ensure that this
venerable rail line is well positioned to
keep pace with increasing ridership
demands while also preparing it for high-
speed service.
Less known is the signicant impact the
partnership will have in helping the state
meet its goals for reducing greenhouse gas
emissions by 2020 and beyond. In his pro-
posed budget, Gov. Jerry Brown plans to
allocate a portion of state cap-and-trade
revenue for the high-speed rail program as
part of the states long-term air pollution-
reduction plan. Some have criticized put-
ting cap-and-trade money into high-speed
rail because they believe wrongly
that the project wont reduce air pollution
soon enough. In fact, high-speed rails
plan to electrify the Caltrain line will
reduce emissions in advance of the deadline
imposed by Assembly Bill 32. Further,
high-speed rail will play an important role
in helping to meet the bills requirements
to continue to lower
greenhouse gases well
beyond 2020.
High-speed rail is col-
laborating with Caltrain
staff on the Caltrain
Modernization Plan,
which, among other ben-
ets, will lay the founda-
tion for high-speed rail
service along the San Francisco-San Jose
corridor. The plan calls for investing $600
million in high-speed rail funding to fully
electrify the Peninsula Rail Corridor,
enabling Caltrain by 2019 to replace diesel
trains with a clean, electried eet that will
eventually operate in a blended service
with high-speed rail.
The program electries the Caltrain line
between the station at Fourth and King
streets in San Francisco and the Tamien
Station in San Jose. Electrication also
will reduce power consumption and lower
noise for those living and working nearby.
At the same time, Proposition 1A, the
High-Speed Rail Act of 2008, is providing
Caltrain with $105 million for a Positive
Train Control (PTC) electronic safety sys-
tem that will monitor and, if necessary,
control train movement in the event of
human error. PTC will equip Caltrain with
federally mandated safety technology
essential for high-speed rail. The system
integrates command, control, communica-
tions and information systems to signi-
cantly reduce the likelihood of collisions.
It also allows trains to travel safely at
higher speeds. This phase of the project
involves installing a ber optic backbone
along the Caltrain right-of-way so that sig-
nals, trains, dispatchers and other compo-
nents of the railroad operations can com-
municate seamlessly. The installation work
has started in San Jose and will progress
north to San Francisco.
Finally, the high-speed rail project plays
a critical role in another key Bay Area
transportation project: San Franciscos
Transbay Transit Center. The center is a
multi-modal transportation hub that will
centralize the regions transportation net-
work and extend the Caltrain line into the
San Francisco Financial District. The cen-
ter will be used by both Caltrain and high-
speed rail, connecting San Francisco to the
rest of California with effective and ef-
cient rail service.
Californias high-speed rail program not
only represents the largest and most ambi-
tious infrastructure project of its kind in
the country. It is a project that is building
strategic partnerships, such as the one with
150-year-old Caltrain, which will modern-
ize passenger rail service throughout the
state for decades to come.
Ben Tripousis is the Northern California
regional director for the California High-
Speed Rail Authority.
Ode to the tech worker
Editor,
I just want to give a shout-out to all the
tech workers and the local tech industry in
general. Thank you for being the econom-
ic engine that runs San Mateo County.
Thank you for the billions of dollars you
pay in federal, state and now new federal
health care taxes. Thank you for paying
for our public schools through the proper-
ty taxes on that new house you just pur-
chased. Thank you for your business to me
personally, as a good number of you are
my clients. San Mateo County is very for-
tunate that the tech industry was founded
and has made its home on the Peninsula.
You have contributed more to my home-
town financially than any other industry
in my existence.
Dont worry about the boneheads in San
Francisco who are boycotting your buses,
they are just an offshoot of the Occupy
movement who are mad that you make
more money than they do and that you can
afford, through your hard work, a home to
call your own in their city. Remember,
this is the city that lost the Niners.
We on the Peninsula appreciate you and
we welcome your jobs and the taxes you
pay. We appreciate the money you spend
in our local restaurants, shops and busi-
nesses. Keep in mind we dont believe in
socialist housing and we surely dont mind
those environmentally friendly buses that
you carpool in. San Mateo County: tech
friendly. Tell a friend.

High-speed rail
evictions hurt families
Editor,
Gov. Jerry Browns scheme to divert
hundreds of millions of dollars from true
cap and trade greenhouse gas reducing
projects to his legacy High-Speed Rail
Boondoggle must be stopped call your
state reps today. High-speed rail is ruth-
less and currently using every available
dollar to evict helpless Central Valley
families through eminent domain
power.
If it were your family that didnt want to
move/sell your farm, how would you feel
being evicted for a Train-to-Nowhere
that will never be built? Independent
Superior Court Judge Kenny recently ruled
that Proposition 1Apromises to voters
(i.e. private investors, business invest-
ment, environmental review, etc.) were all
violated by the High-Speed Rail
Authority, so no bonds could be issued.
Using scare cap-and-trade money on a
boondoggle train that wont be built,
instead of true greenhouse gas projects
like electric/natural gas vehicles, solar
power, is done to kowtow to powerful
buildings and trades/labor unions and is
wrong even Senate President Darell
Steinberg is against this farce.
Mike Brown
Burlingame
High-speed rail: Partnering with Caltrain
Awash with fear
A
pparently, California will never
see rain again. Dont blame me.
Ive washed the car now twice.
Ive reached for short sleeves rather than
sweaters. Ive left the dogs in the backyard
for extended periods of time without any
barrier to the possibly
rainy elements. Ive
planned outdoor activ-
ities on weekends.
Ive mocked the polar
vortex. I even went to
work without a jacket
and purposely opted
against sticking an
umbrella in the trunk,
just in case.
In other words, Ive
done my part to taunt the weather gods
who, for whatever reason, refuse to bring
it. Possibly, they are using reverse psy-
chology and purposely refusing to deliver a
wee bit of moisture upon this western land.
This is good news for those of us whose
hair has just enough wave to frizz at the
rst sign of mist and have a tendency to
inadvertently step in puddles while wearing
heels or long pants. Excuses to hide the
winter indulgences under a bulky sweater
rather than sucking in the gut in summery
garb is also a plus. The truth is, though, we
need some rain. Any rain. Maybe not quite
El Nio or La Nia or any of those other
exotic-sounding weather children that jus-
tify ood insurance mandates and tsunami-
themed disaster movies. But a splash here
and there isnt too greedy.
Obviously, though, it is. Winter is all
but ofcially canceled which means a cou-
ple of things: Id like my daylight savings
hours back. The state is going to be the
next snowbird state when the AARP contin-
gent grows weary of Floridas weirdness.
And its just a matter of days, hours even,
until the governor declares a drought and
we all go back to dead lawns, buckets under
the bathtub faucets and giving neighbors
the stink eye for washing their vehicles
with a garden hose in the driveway.
The city of Sacramento has gotten ahead
of the curve by already enacting strict water
restrictions under what is labeled a stage 2
water shortage plan. This level falls just
below Defcon 1 and means capital folks are
now told to cut back on their usage by 20
percent and 30 percent and abide by limits
on usage or else risk the wrath of the water
police who come bearing warnings, cita-
tions and the worst water class.
Perhaps if one also lights up a re the same
day, the smoke class imposed for Spare the
Air violations can cancel out water class
for failing the rationing. Call it a wash
just not on one of those no-wash days!
The rest of the state isnt far behind
Sacramentos knuckling down on water
wastefulness so lets not wait for an ofcial
decree. Beginning today, lets all do better.
First, cut back on the bathing and shower-
ing. Invest in tubs of hand sanitizer and
dry shampoo. Always wear deodorant. After
a couple days of layering, no smell is get-
ting through that buildup.
Stop lling up the plastic bottle from the
tap or asking for ice. Opt for soda or gin.
Not together. And not with ice. In fact,
dont even dirty a glass. Drink straight
from the bottle. When someone calls you
an alcoholic counter with, No, Im an
environmentalist. Once the naysayer gets
a whiff of four-days-without-soap-and-
water, theyll really believe the claim.
Wipe down the car with glass cleaner.
Swear off instant hot chocolate and pasta
anything that requires boiling water,
actually. Learn to dry swallow pills. Make
the clothes presentable with fabric freshen-
er and wrinkle release sprays. Eat off paper
plates. In other words, pretend youre in
West Virginia.
Someday the skies will part again but
right now most Californians likely have a
heavy level of drought.

NEWYORK It was a stock market
squeaker.
After piercing its all-time high in
early trading, then yo-yoing below
and above that level several times dur-
ing the day, the Standard and Poors
500 index on Wednesday managed to
eke out a record at the close, besting
the old one by just two-hundredths of a
point.
Financial and technology companies
had some of the biggest gains. Bank
stocks rose after Bank of America
reported that its prot surged to $3.44
billion in the fourth quarter. Apple was
up nearly 2 percent.
Investors have been worried stocks
would stall in the new year after a surge
of nearly 30 percent in the S&P 500
last year. The rst few trading days in
2014 seemed to conrm their fears. As
of the close of trading Monday, the
S&P 500 was down 1.6 percent.
But a combination of positive eco-
nomic reports and strong earnings on
Wednesday sent all three major indexes
higher.
The S&P 500 gained 9.50 points, or
0.52 percent, to 1,848.38. The last
closing high was 1,848.36 on Dec. 31,
2013. With Wednesdays rise, the index
is now basically at for the year. In
2013 the S&P 500 closed at record
highs 45 times.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed up 108.08 points, or 0.7 per-
cent, to 16,481.94. It is 94.72 points
from its closing high, just one good up
day away. The Nasdaq composite rose
31.87 points, or 0.76 percent, to
4,214.88. The tech-heavy index is still
16 percent below its high during the
dot-com bubble more than a decade
ago.
Bank of America climbed 2.3 percent
after it reported a jump in earnings. The
loans on its balance sheet continue to
improve, and the banks provision for
credit losses fell to $336 million, from
$2.2 billion in the same period a year
earlier. Even its mortgage division,
which took huge losses after the hous-
ing bubble popped, improved.
Apple rose 2 percent, and Microsoft
by 2.7 percent. Apple CEO Tim Cook
said the company had sold a record
number of iPhones in China, Taiwan
and Hong Kong in the last three
months of 2013. On Friday, Apple
plans to start selling its iPhone in
China through China Mobile, the
worlds largest cellphone carrier.
Seven of the 10 industries in the S&P
500 closed higher, led by telecommu-
nications, information technology and
nancial services. The three were each
up more than 1 percent.
Whether stocks can climb more in
the coming days depends partly on cor-
porate earnings reports now coming
out for the fourth quarter of last year.
Companies reporting on Thursday
include Goldman Sachs, Citigroup,
American Express and Intel.
After years of squeezing more and
more prot out of every dollar of rev-
enue, companies will have to lift that
top line to hit their earnings targets for
this year, said Joseph S. Tanious, glob-
al market strategist at JPMorgan. But
hes optimistic. You will see strong
revenue growth, he said.
Tanious said a 4 percent to 6 percent
increase in S&P 500 earnings per share
this year shouldnt be too difcult.
Financial analysts expect S&P 500
earnings per share to increase 5.6 per-
cent for the fourth quarter, and 9.8 per-
cent for all four quarters of the new
year, according to S&P Capital IQ.
Revenue growth for both periods is
expected to be half the earnings
growth.
Stocks were also pushed higher
Wednesday by some encouraging eco-
nomic reports.

Yahoo CEO lets go top lieutenant in surprise move

Internet companys efforts to revive its long-slumping
advertising sales arent paying off.
Wednesdays surprise announcement of the departure of
Yahoos chief operating ofcer, Henrique de Castro, repre-
sents a setback for Mayer, who signed him to a $58 mil-
lion deal just 15 months ago to help her lure more adver-
tisers to a company that has been struggling to compete
against Google Inc. and Facebook Inc. in the race for
online marketing dollars.
Yahoo Inc. decline to comment on the reasons for de

Fed: U.S. economic growth healthy over holidays
WASHINGTON AFederal Reserve survey shows eco-
nomic growth remained healthy in most U.S. regions in
late November and December, helped by gains in consumer
spending and factory output.
Nine of the Feds 12 banking districts described growth
as moderate, according to the Beige Book survey released
Wednesday. Thats up from seven districts in October
through early November. And two of those districts said
growth had accelerated since the previous report.
Only two districts -- Boston and Philadelphia -- said
growth was modest, while Kansas City said it held
steady.

plan that has had disastrous results.
Business briefs
By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO Netixs Internet
video service thrives on drama and sus-
pense, but not the kind triggered by a legal
ruling that threatens to affect the companys
growth and pricing.
The intrigue stems from an appeals court
decision overturning Federal
Communication Commission regulations
that prodded high-speed Internet providers
to treat all online services equally, includ-
ing video transmissions that placed higher
demands on their networks.
The dismantling of that FCC rule, known
as Net Neutrality, raises the possibility
that Netix may someday have to pay addi-
tional fees to Internet service providers to
ensure that its video continues to stream
smoothly.
Netix Inc. could still refuse to pay if the
cable and telecommunications companies
selling most of high-speed Internet access
demand more money. But that option would
risk diminishing the quality of Netixs
video streaming to the frustration of its 31
million U.S. subscribers who pay $8 per
month for the service.
The potential fallout rattled investors
Wednesday as Netixs stock shed $7.58, or
2.2 percent, to close at $330.38. At one
point in the days trading, the shares had
fallen more than 5 percent.
Netix declined to comment on the fallout
from the Net Neutrality decision.

WASHINGTON Kids gleefully snapped
up virtual pet food, gems or other items
while playing games on their mobile
devices, while the bills from Apple Inc.
mounted, often without parents knowl-
edge. Now, the tech giant has agreed to
refund the money.
Following tens of thousands of con-
sumer complaints, the Federal Trade
Commission said Wednesday that Apple
will pay at least $32.5 million to settle a
federal case involving those in-app pur-
chases. Apple also must change its billing
practices to make it more obvious that an
actual purchase is taking place during the
course of the game or app.
Just how could a kid buy these things
without mom or dads knowledge and run
up bills into the hundreds of dollars or
more?
Agame-player wants to advance to a new
level or buy coins, a chest of gems or
treats for a virtual pet. It takes a click, and
then the app asks for a password. The child
turns to a parent, who punches it in.
Apple will refund at least
$32.5 million in app case

SANTACLARA From the moment Glenn
Dorsey stepped off the plane last spring and
met spirited 49ers defensive line coach Jim
Tomsula, he understood San Franciscos win-
ning vibe that he had seen from afar with
Kansas City in the AFC.
Dorsey wanted to be a part of it, and little
did the Niners know how crucial a stabilizing
force he would be or how important the deci-
sion was to bring him in for depth on the
defensive line.
Even when I got off the plane and talked to
Coach Tomsula, this is the time that we pre-
pared for, the time that he told me when I got
here: Hey, this is what were going to be
doing. Were going to work toward it and
hopefully keep it going, Dorsey recalled.
Ever since nose tackle Ian Williams went
down with a season-ending ankle injury dur-
ing a Week 2 loss at Seattle, Dorsey has deliv-
ered with a steady presence in the middle for
coordinator Vic Fangios imposing, smother-
ing unit.
This group is determined
to return to Seattle this
weekend for the NFC
championship game and
produce a different result
after an embarrassing 29-3
defeat on Sept. 15 at noisy
CenturyLink Field.
While Dorsey wasnt
around for last seasons
Super Bowl heartbreak, he understands there
is unnished business associated with the 34-
31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens that cost San
Francisco the franchises sixth champi-
onship.
This postseason run is very close to what
Dorsey envisioned when he joined the 49ers
last March on a two-year contract that could
pay him up to $7 million with incentives.
Williams earned the starting nose tackle
job out of training camp with Dorsey a versa-
tile backup, then Williams went down with a
Dorsey important
addition for 49ers

RENTON, Wash. Russell Wilson and
the Seahawks offense havent exactly pro-
duced impressive numbers during the past
month.
But ask Wilson and coach Pete Carroll if
there are worries heading into Sundays NFC
championship game against San Francisco
and, while they say they would like to see
more consistency, they say the numbers
arent the important thing.
Were always looking for more and he is
too and all that, Carroll said. But as long
as our football team is playing well and
were playing within the formula and were
playing good defense, were running the
football, were playing on (special) teams,
and were taking care of the ball and getting
it, were going to have a really good chance
to win. And thats whats most important to
us. Its not about the stats and all that.
Seattle advanced to the NFC champi-
onship game despite getting a career-low
passing performance from Wilson, who
threw for 103 yards in the Seahawks 23-15
win over the Saints. It was the fourth time in
the past ve games that Wilson failed to top
200 yards passing and the Seahawks had
less than 300 yards of total offense.
The Seahawks were helped by a huge day
from Marshawn Lynch, running for 140
yards and two touchdowns in his best game
since Week 10. And the passing numbers
against New Orleans were skewed by the
awful weather conditions with strong winds
and heavy rain making throwing the foot-
ball a challenge.
But the lack of consistency by the pass-
ing game versus New Orleans, against a
team Wilson had carved up earlier in the sea-
son, only heightened fan worries heading
into Sunday.
Weve played some really good defenses
and theyve made some plays. Theres de-
nitely room for improvement, especially on
my part and thats the thing I look forward
to every week, Wilson said. I always
think I can get better and theres tons of
throws in there that I can make and I know I
Seahawks dont see any
problems with offense

A
nyone else getting tired of the
buildup to the NFC championship
game between the San Francisco
49ers and Seattle Seahawks?
Whether in the newspapers, TVor the
radio, you can only break down the
matchups so many different ways and any
analyst worth his salt will simply say the
same thing as the last expert.
Things have gotten so bad, if you will, a
couple of columnists have latched onto
the Colin Kaepernick is a bad boy story
line and Tuesdays
big story was Jim
Harbaughs wife
deriding his choice of
pants on the sideline.
(On a side note,
apparently Harbaugh
will ditch his $8
Walmart pleated
khakis for a more
expensive, at-front
pair of slacks. Youre
welcome).
As the sports editor
at the Daily Journal,
Im often asked who I think will win any
given game. Considering Im a 49ers fan
and the people asking me are usually 49ers
fans, what am I supposed to say? My heart
says 49ers win Sunday, but my head is not
so sure.
The bottom line is both San Francisco
and Seattle are really good teams. Easily
the best two teams in the NFC. Both
defenses are terrifying, Seahawks running
back Marshawn Lynch and 49ers Frank
Gore are two of the toughest runners in the
NFL. Seattles Russell Wilson and San
Franciscos Colin Kaepernick are two of
the quarterbacks whose NFL stock is on
the rise and potential seems limitless.
So who will win Sunday? Im not going
to make a prediction. Ill use a cliche I
hear high school coaches use all the time:
the team that makes the least number of
mistakes will be victorious.
Just play
the game

If there was one word to describe the rst-
half play of the Capuchino girls basketball
team against Aragon Wednesday evening, it
would be sloppy.
The Mustangs were sloppy with their
passing, defense and just about everything
else that had led them to a 12-2 record over-
all and 2-0 in Peninsula Athletic League
South Division play.
We had a slow start, said Capuchino
coach Mike Dozier. We went in at halftime
and (I) told the girls its not so much them
(Aragon), its us.
The talk must have worked because
Capuchino came out in the second half and
looked like a different team. Everything was
much more crisp as the Mustangs swarmed
the ball defensively. The Mustangs turned
up the defensive intensity and that got their
fast break going. After the two teams were
tied at 26 after two quarters of play, the
Mustangs outscored the Dons 36-16 over
the nal two quarters to record a 59-42 vic-
tory.
The win moves the Mustangs to 3-0 in
PAL South play and 13-2 overall.
Second half, defensively we were much
better, Dozier said. Defense is where well
hang our hat this year.
That defense jump-starts the Capuchino
offense. When the Mustangs can get out on
the break, they were hard to stop. Setting up
in the half-court offense, however, was a dif-
ferent story.
Were to small to go half court, Dozier
said. We dont want to trade punches.
Yet that is precisely what happened in the
rst half as Aragon (0-3 PAL South) used its
height in the frontcourt to control the
boards and a tenacious defense of its own to
force the Mustangs into a number of
turnovers and Dons steals.
The game could not have been any closer
in the rst half as both teams raced up and
down the court. Brianna Deckman, who n-
ished with 14 points for Capuchino, scored
the rst basket of the game, but Aragon tied
it on a pair of Maya Collins free throws.

OAKLAND The Golden State Warriors
have been searching for a suitable backup to
point guard Stephen Curry since veteran
Jarrett Jack signed with Cleveland as a free
agent last summer.
They had hoped Toney Douglas could help
ll the void, but he couldnt .
Now theyre counting on Jordan Crawford
for more production.
The Warriors acquired Crawford and
reserve MarShon Brooks from the Boston
Celtics on Wednesday, sending Douglas to
the Miami Heat in a three-team trade.
I think getting a guy like Crawford
allows us to rest Steph a little bit more with-
out the fear of blowing ballgames,
Warriors coach Mark Jackson said before
his team hosted Denver.
The Heat sent seldom-used center Joel
Anthony, two draft picks and cash consider-
ations to the Celtics in a move that creates
nancial exibility for the two-time defend-
ing NBA champions and bolsters Bostons
rebuilding project.
Miami gave the Celtics its 2015 protected
rst-round pick originally acquired from
Philadelphia and 2016 second-round
pick. If the 76ers dont make the playoffs
the next two seasons, the 2015 pick will be
a second-round selection.
The picks keep piling up and piling up.
Weve got a lot of exibility moving for-
ward, rst-year Celtics coach Brad Stevens
said before Boston beat Toronto 88-83.
Warriors general manager Bob Myers said
Celtics GM Danny Ainge, a long-time
friend who helped him get the job with
Golden State, approached him about the
trade. But it wouldnt have come together
without the Heat, Myers said, because the
Warriors werent willing to part with any of
their core players.
We were obviously looking to upgrade
our bench, Myers said. Clearly, weve
struggled in that category.
The deal gives Golden State more scoring
punch behind Curry after the defensive-
minded Douglas had struggled to provide
much support.
Crawford is averaging 13.7 points and
5.6 assists this season, but he became
expendable with Boston expecting All-Star
point guard Rajon Rondo to return soon
from a right knee injury that has kept him
out since last January. Crawford, who will
be playing for his fourth team in four sea-
sons, also is shooting 41.4 percent from
the field and 31.8 percent from 3-point
range.
Hes dangerous. Thats the word I like to
use, Myers said.
Brooks had two up-and-down years with
the Nets before splitting time with Boston
and the Maine Red Claws of the NBA
Development League this season. Hes aver-
aging 3.1 points in 10 games with the
Celtics.
Jackson said Brooks would have an
opportunity to earn a spot with Golden
State, though hell most likely spit time
with the teams D-League afliate in Santa
Cruz.
After inking free agent Andre Iguodala,
the Warriors had hoped Douglas could serve
as the primary ball-handler behind Curry the
way Jack did brilliantly last season.
But Douglas missed a month because of a
stress reaction in his left shin and couldnt
nd a rhythm when he returned. He averaged
3.7 points, 0.8 assists and 11 minutes in 24
games.
We need (Crawford) to hold the fort
down, to be a playmaker. We need him to
score. We need him to facilitate and get that
second unit going, Jackson said. The
opportunity is going to be there, but we do
not need him to be Jarrett Jack.
For the Heat, the gains are largely nan-
cial.
Trade lands Warriors much-needed backup PG
By Beth Harris
LOS ANGELES Clayton Kershaw agreed
Wednesday to a $215 million, seven-year
contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, a per-
son familiar with the negotiations told The
Associated Press, a deal that makes the two-
time Cy Young Award winner baseballs rst
player with a $30 million average salary.
The person spoke on condition of
anonymity because the agreement had not
yet been announced.
Kershaw receives the most lucrative deal
for a pitcher, breaking the mark of $180 mil-
lion set by Justin Verlander last March for his
seven-year contract with Detroit.
Kershaw would have been eligible for free
agency after the upcoming season if the new
deal hadnt been reached. He was eligible for
salary arbitration, and those gures were set
to be exchanged on Friday. He was coming
off a two-year, $20 million deal that included
$200,000 in bonuses in 2012, a $500,000
escalator to his 2013 base salary, and
$300,000 in bonuses last year.
General manager Ned Colletti said last
week that both sides had been negotiating.
Its our desire to sign him here for a very
long time, Colletti said.
The average salary of $30.7 million tops
the previous high of $27.5 million, set by
the New York YankeesAlex Rodriguez as part
of a 10-year agreement from December 2007.
While Roger Clemens had a contract with a
listed salary of $28 million with the Yankees
in 2007, he joined the team in June and actu-
ally made $17.4 million.
The Dodgers had baseballs second-highest
payroll at the end of the regular season last
fall more than $236 million.
Kershaws agreement, first reported by
ESPN.com, is baseballs seventh of $200
million or more. Among current contracts, it
trails only the agreements of Rodriguez,
Cincinnati rst baseman Joey Votto ($251.5
million over 12 years), Los Angeles Angels
rst baseman Albert Pujols ($240 million
over 10 years) and Seattle second baseman
Robinson Cano ($240 million over 10
years).
Dodgers, Kershaw agree to 7-year, $215 deal

Kelsey Alonzo drained a 3-pointer to put the
Mustangs up 5-2, but a 3 from Collins tied it.
That trey ignited a 7-0 Aragon run, turning a 5-
2 decit into a 9-5 lead.
It was short-lived, however, as the Mustangs
ended the rst quarter on a 7-3 run to tie the score
at 12. Taylor Brazil, who nished with a game-
high 16 points for Cap, converted a three-point
play at the quarter buzzer for the tie.
It was more of the same in the second quarter.
Aragon eventually built a ve point lead, 22-
17, following another 3 from Collins with 4:04
left in the half, but the Mustangs closed with a
9-4 run to tie the score at 26 going into half-
time.
The second half was all about the Mustangs
tenacity as well as its bench. Brittany
Deckman, who nished with 10 points, had to
sit most of the third quarter with three fouls, but
her replacement, Xenia Collins, came off the
bench to more than lled the void.
Collins wasnt expected to light up the score-
board. Instead, she gave the Mustangs what
they lacked in the rst half consistent
rebounding. Collins pulled down six rebounds
in the second half.
[Collins] did a fantastic job off the bench,
Dozier said.
The same could be said of the play of Ani
Uikili and Nani Merafuentes. Uikili pulled
down seven rebounds for the game and scored
six second-half points, while Merafuentes
replaced sister Alonzo and took over ball-han-
dling chores after Alonzo missed most of the
second half with a bloody nose following a col-
lision.
The second half saw the Mustangs take con-
trol of the game. They more than held their own
on the boards and while they still had trouble
taking care of the ball at times, they also made
life tough for Aragon, coming up with 13 steals
nine in the fourth quarter alone.
Capuchino opened the second half with back-
to-back 3s by Brazil from the left corner for a
32-26 lead and the Mustangs never trailed
again.
Aragon cut its decit to three, 34-31, follow-
ing a pair of Briana Reynolds free throws, but
the Mustangs went into the nal eight minutes
with a 40-33 advantage.
And then the Mustangs stepped on the gas and
raced past the Dons. Capuchino outscored
Aragon 19-9, despite seeing the Dons cut their
decit to three points, 40-37, following back-
to-back, coast-to-coast layups from Alyssa
Mangaoang.
The Mustangs quickly righted the ship, how-
ever, getting three straight buckets to push their
lead to nine, 46-37.
All told, Capuchino went on a 11-0 run, with
Brazil scoring ve straight points to cap it, put-
ting the Mustangs in rm control, 51-37 with
4:04 left.
The only question left was by how much
would the Mustangs win.
[We] played hard. Cap is a very good team,
said Aragon coach Annette Gennaro-Trimble.
We were right there. My girls work very hard.
Unfortunately, the record doesnt show it.
Mangaoang led the Dons with nine points.
Collins nished with eight, and Reynolds and
Jen Horita had six points each.

NEWYORK New baseball union
head Tony Clark says players wont
agree to terminating contracts as part
of discipline for drug violations.
Clark took over as executive direc-
tor of the Major League Baseball
Players Association following
Michael Weiners death in November
and expects talks on possible
changes to the drug agreement to start
before spring training.
Commissioner Bud Selig proposed
last March that drug penalties be
toughened, but Weiner had said any
alterations would be discussed for the
2014 season.
Clark also anticipated players will
agree before the upcoming season to
ban home plate collisions and to
allow expanded instant replay, which
also requires a deal between Major
League Baseball and the umpires
union.
Since the start of the 2006 season,
MLBs drug agreement has called for
50-game suspensions for a rst posi-
tive test for performance-enhancing
drugs, 100 games for a second and a
lifetime ban for a third.
Some players have agreed with
Seligs call for harsher penalties, and
some spoke out after shortstop
Jhonny Peralta nished a 50-game
suspension, left Detroit as a free agent
and agreed to a $53 million, four-year
contract with St. Louis.
It pays to cheat... Thanks, owners,
for encouraging PED use, Arizona
pitcher Brad Ziegler tweeted in
November.

Last year, a lot of the criticism of
Kaepernick surrounded his multitude of tat-
toos. This playoff season, it was his mock-
ing of Carolina quarterback Cam Newton.
Since entering the league, Newton has
chosen the Superman pose as his end zone
celebration. One in which he pretends to
tear apart his shirt to expose Supermans
S underneath it.
Sunday after scoring during the 49ers 23-
10 win over Carolina, Kaepernick started to
rip open his shirt, only to pretend to button
it up before doing his own end zone celebra-
tion of Kaepernicking, where he kisses
his bicep.
Since that little incident, one online
reporter? Blogger? used it to call
Kaepernick and the 49ers the bad boys of
the NFL.
I literally laughed out loud. Youve got to
be kidding. Kaepernick is the not the rst
nor will he be the last football player
to mock another in the end zone.
Lets face it. This is a new era of NFL quar-
terbacks. Young and brash, players like
Kaepernick and Newton view themselves as
more than just quarterbacks. Watch any
number of running backs or wide receivers
who score. Very seldom do you see any of
them simply hand the ball to the referee or
go with the old-school spike. Those posi-
tion players have their end zone routines,
why not quarterbacks who score?
Besides, I dont mind a little theatrics in
the end zone. What gets me are all the cele-
brations after mundane plays. The jump-up-
and-signal-rst-down celebrations are the
worst, followed by the sack dances of defen-
sive players.
I wouldnt miss seeing those celebrations
fall by the wayside.

season-ending ankle injury on a cut block by
Seattle right guard J.R. Sweezy.
Dorsey watched the 49ers during last years
postseason, noticing a team that ghts, a
physical team on both sides of the ball, spe-
cial teams.
Everybody works well together, he said.
We have a mindset that were going to work
hard no matter what. The weather, whatever it
might be, whoever the opponent might be,
guys just have it in their mind just to come
out and grind it out no matter what.
His teammates learned in a hurry about
Dorseys dedication, watching him emerge in
a defense dened by its hard hits and work
ethic behind the scenes. That was among the
rst things Tomsula talked about with Dorsey
during his visit last year.
Hes the kind of guy everybody should
have on their team, fellow lineman Ray
McDonald said. I saw the way he worked this
offseason. He works real hard at his craft and
its showing up on the eld.
The 28-year-old Dorsey doesnt seem to
mind a degree of anonymity and wont create
the kind of fanfare associated with line mates
McDonald or Justin Smith.
Regardless, Fangio said they all feed off
each other.
Those guys just follow along. And if they
dont, theyre going to get chastised,
Fangio said. Ray is the next leader and hes
right there with Justin and hes a workout war-
rior, too. So, I think thats a big thing that
played a big part in Glenn Dorsey coming
along and having his best year. He threw him-
self right in there with those guys from Day
1, almost the day after he signed and was here
all offseason. And its paying dividends for
him now.
That rst impression with Tomsula 10
months ago, not to mention last seasons
Super Bowl berth, went a long way in
Dorseys decision.
Of course, he said. Everybody watches
the 49ers play, even getting off the plane and
getting here and meeting everybody, you
kind of can sense it, that everybody in here is
going to ght till the end. During a season,
nobody prepares to go home. Its just a mind-
set that youre going to have a long season
and play in the postseason. Its fun, and Im
enjoying it.
49ERS
will make. So I have no worry about that. I
think the ultimate goal is for us to win foot-
ball games and to be explosive and make
the clutch play when we need to make the
clutch play.
Ultimately, its Wilsons job to be a care-
taker of the ball and not take undue risks in
the passing game. Thats what Carroll
wants from his quarterback, and Wilson fol-
lows, sometimes to the point of frustration
by fans. Carroll was asked this week if he
thought Wilson was being too conserva-
tive.
No, I really havent, he said.
Carroll believes that because being too
aggressive can sometimes lead to turnovers
and no one values possession more than
Seattle. Thats why the Seahawks led the
NFLthis season with a plus-20 turnover dif-
ferential they were extremely aggressive
on defense and cautious on offense.
I never play scared. I never have, I never
will, Wilson said. I think that for me, in
terms of decision-making, I always try to
make the smart decision.
What Seattle has really been missing over
the past ve weeks is the ability to estab-
lish a passing game down the eld beyond
intermediate routes.
According to information from STATS
Inc., Seattle has completed just 2 of 16
passes with one touchdown and two inter-
ceptions on passes that have traveled more
than 21 yards in the past ve games. Even
the intermediate passing game of throws
between 11 and 20 yards is lacking, with
Wilson going 13 of 24.
Seattles never been a team to make an
excessive number of throws downeld, but
it was always part of the game plan. In each
of the rst 13 games this season, Wilson
had at least one completion on a pass of 21
or more yards. He was rst shut out in Week
14 at San Francisco, which coincided with
Seattles offensive sputtering.
I feel like early in the season we took a
lot of shots downeld and the defenses have
taken notice to that and are trying to limit
that, wide receiver Jermaine Kearse said. I
feel like we just have to continue to stay at
it, continue to practice our game plan and
just let the plays come to us.
SEAHAWKS
South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon
Clowney and Texas A&M quarterback Johnny
Manziel headline a record number of underclass-
men entering the NFL draft heading into
Wednesday nights deadline.
At least 90 players who had college eligibili-
ty remaining are expected to enter the draft,
shattering last years record number of 73.
Its a humongous number, so the rst reac-
tion is it makes you step back a little bit, said
NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah, a
former scout with the Baltimore Ravens,
Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles.
What Im hearing is that the agents always
have to make the sales pitch to get these to
come out. This year, what Ive been told is the
sales pitch is that all your money right now is
coming from the second contract, so you need
to come out early so you can get to that second
contract a year earlier ... and apparently its
been pretty effective.
ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. released a mock
draft Wednesday in which 23 of the 32 rst-
round picks were early entries. Kiper had
Manziel going rst overall and included
Clowney, UCF quarterback Blake Bortles and
Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins as top-
ve picks. Jeremiahs list of the top 50 draft
prospects includes early entries in the top three
spots: Clowney at No. 1, Watkins at No. 2 and
Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson at No.
3.
Its going to be a huge number of underclass-
men that go high and have long careers,
Jeremiah said. And there are going to be some
other guys who dont get drafted and will be in a
tough spot and would have been better served to
go back to school. It works both ways.

When people visit our home, they
must pass through a large portion of
the garden before arriving at the front
door. Around this time of year, the
first question I get asked once they
get inside is: How come your garden
isnt dead? Its winter!
What prompts this question are the
elements of my garden I call winter
interest plants. These are plants
with patterned or exfoliating bark,
evergreen foliage, interesting archi-
tectural form or colorful berries.
Winter interest plants keep a garden
interesting, preventing it from look-
ing completely dormant.
In my Northeast garden, the winter
season typically lasts from mid
December until mid-April. This year,
winter technically arrived in the
fall and brought with it freezing tem-
peratures and early snow, thanks to a
large southern dip in the jet stream.
My garden is somewhat mature,
having been cultivated for close to
60 years by two different owners. It is
divided into several distinct areas.
The area up around the house com-
prises about a half an acre. More than
two-thirds of the plants and trees in
this area are evergreen in nature.
These plants make up a diverse
group and include everything from
ground covers and perennials to
shrubs and trees. There are both nee-
dled and flat-leaved conifers, broad-
leaved evergreens such as rhododen-
drons, laurels and hollies, vines, and
even an elegant native magnolia that
doesnt drop its leaves until late
spring. The one thing these diverse
elements have in common is they all
hold onto their leaves over the win-
ter, making the garden seem alive
even on the coldest days. A garden
containing nothing but deciduous
plants just cant do that.
Somehow over the years, the word
evergreen became associated with
spruce trees and arborvitae. While it
is true that both of those commonly
planted stalwarts are evergreens,
there are dozens and dozens of other
evergreen plants that can be incorpo-
rated into a landscape.
One of my favorite evergreens
helps my garden look interesting all
winter and is a real workhorse. It
looks good almost all year and does
so without needing to send up a
flower stalk in order to be noticed. In
fact, since it is a fern, the whole
plant goes unnoticed during the
spring and summer months when
other plants are putting on their
annual displays.
Ferns as a whole get sold short in
the gardening world, but they are
some of the most useful plants for the
garden. Many tolerate periods of
drought while still looking elegant,
and they look good planted alone or
in large swaths.
Lining the walkway to my front
door is one of my favorite ferns,
Polystichium polyblepharum, or
Japanese tassel fern. Dont let the
plants Latin name put you off. This
evergreen fern, native to Japan, is
one beautiful plant!
Japanese tassel fern begins its
growing cycle in the early spring by
unfurling fuzzy brown, tightly curled
fronds referred to as croziers. While
the plants fronds unfurl the tips lay
backwards creating what looks like
tassels. After about a week, depend-
ing on temperatures, the fronds grow
through this phase and unfurl fully
into a 12-inch long frond, dark green
in color with a shiny upper surface.
They are not bothered by pests and
can tolerate a fair amount of sun,
although they prefer to grow in dap-
pled sunlight or light shade.
They look good all summer, but it
isnt until other plants start dying
down in the autumn that the Japanese
tassel fern really starts to stand out.
The sturdy green fronds pay no atten-
tion to cold weather and short, dark
days.
Mine flank the walkway to our
front door like an honor guard on duty
until spring. When spring finally
does arrive, the year old fronds fall
away and new ones emerge from the
crown of the plant, starting the cycle
again.
If you want to keep your garden
interesting all winter long, consider
planting evergreens. And if that word
conjures images of boring pre-
dictability, you might be surprised by
what youre missing.
Even in winter, your garden can flourish
Magnolias keep their foliage through the cold season,making
them a great winter interest element in your garden.

By Kim Cook
With the advent of tablets, cell-
phones and e-readers, could the book-
lined home library go the way of the
formal dining room?
Not a chance, designers and retailers
say.
Digital and print books can co-
exist, says House Beautifuls editor in
chief Newell Turner.
When theres an endless river of
(digital) content, the words, text and
images we choose to print and bind
into a physical book will make (it)
even more special, he said.
And books, in their variety of
shapes and sizes, can be art in their
own right, he says. Certainly, many
people display richly illustrated coffee
table books. And at Hearsts October
2013 Designer Visions show house in
New York, Jamie Drake took the
books-as-art notion literally: For his
House Beautiful apartment, he turned
large books spine sides in and stacked
them geometrically in wall recesses to
ank a replace as sculptural art.
Books are precious and beautiful,
both their contents and materials. I
was inspired to provoke thoughts,
placing the bulk of the spines away
from the viewer, thus highlighting the
thousands of paper pages and creating
a sense of desire to discover what lies
within, he says.
For Elle Decor at the show house,
Alessandra Branca created a warm, inti-
mate library with just two book-
shelves and a chrome easel for a at-
screen television. A large Candida
Hofer photograph of Dublins Trinity
College Library provided a trompe
loeil effect, as if the library extended
into the image. Branca imagined the
space, which included walls covered in
chocolatey faux bois (wood-grain
appearance) sateen and a plump sofa
blanketed in tartan, as a room where
you could store favorite vintage books
but also use a digital reader.
Nothing can replace the wonderful
feel of sitting curled up with a book, or
the happenstance of discovering a
book on the shelf that you havent
seen for a while, particularly books on
art, architecture or design, she say. I
think well always love the physical
aspect of a book in hand, but Ive
found I buy more and more of my new
ction online.
New York interior designer Elaine
Grifn sees the role of home libraries
changing.
Weve come a long way from the
English country home-inspired
libraries of the 80s those spaces
that looked like Carson (the butler on
Downton Abbey) might come in at
any moment to do a little dusting,
Grifn says. Todays home libraries
are retreats, actually places to
retreat as an individual from the more
chaotic, group-themed spaces of the
rest of the house.
Home libraries are reading sanctuar-
ies, she says, but clients often want a
TV included. The space is an alterna-
tive to the Great Room, used for solo
viewing, for snuggling, for seclu-
sion.
Many modern bookshelves are
multi-purpose, with space to display
objects as well as reading matter. All

The studio has also designed a clever
Secret Reading wall a series of

can be closed to hide the secret readers
and other stuff. Puck lights are built

Everything from blueberries to persimmons, citrus to currents can be grown in containers.
By Dean Fosdick
Many fruit growers are going to pots,
and small wonder. Containers are great for
tight spaces, easy to manage, convenient
for harvesting, and provide better soil
than is found in most gardens.
They also allow growing more experi-
mental fruit, such as warm climate or trop-
ical ones, if pots can be moved inside in
winter, said Leonard Perry, an extension
professor with the University of Vermont.
Everything from blueberries to persim-
mons, citrus to currents can be grown in
containers. And dont forget that old
standby, the clay strawberry pot.
Some potted fruit, though, may sur-
prise.
Pineapples are one of the easiest warm-
climates fruit to grow in pots, Perry said.
There are even some grapes suited for
containers.
Potting fruit does pose challenges dif-
ferent from those encountered when grow-
ing fruit in the ground. Some things to
consider:
Pot size: You can get by with smaller
containers and less re-potting if you
choose wisely. It all depends on the plant.
You may need to re-pot every three to
five years, trimming off some of the older
roots, to keep plants vigorous, Perry
said.
Blueberries are one of the best choices
for containers. Look for one of the newer
cultivars bred for containers a half-
high or low bush. These can be grown in
pots a foot or so wide. For dwarf fruit
trees, use plastic containers or a whiskey
barrel half, 18 to 24 inches wide, he
said. Casters on the bottom make con-
tainers easier to move about a patio, or
inside in winter in colder climates.
Watering: Plants in containers dry out
more quickly than those in the ground,
and need more frequent watering.
Fertilizing: Its safe to wait a few
weeks before fertilizing since most con-
tainer soils include fertilizers. Water-solu-
ble, slow-release fertilizers generally
work best. Their small capsules gradually
dissolve when watered, adding nutrients to
the plant mix.
Soil types: Pots create different
drainage and air properties than soils, so
dont use straight garden soil for fruit in
pots, Perry said. Use half-bagged top-
soil or potting soil, with half organic
matter such as peat moss or compost.
Leave a couple of inches free on the top
for adding fresh compost each spring.
Longevity and yields: You naturally
sacrifice yields by growing in small pots,
said Elmer Kidd, chief production officer
for Stark Bros Nurseries & Orchards Co.
in Louisiana, Mo. Nutrition and watering
are far more important with containerized
plants. For those who want to participate
in the gardening realm by growing in
pots, their efforts can be respectable if
their level of care is good, Kidd said.
For those who cant decide which fruit to
grow, grafting can offer more choices.
Consider taking what John Duarte, presi-
dent of Duarte Nursery Inc. in Hughson,
Calif., calls the Cocktail Tree route.
Duarte Nursery creates trees with different
varieties of the same fruit or different fruit
species. Acocktail tree can be a peach tree
that has an early-, mid- or late-season
peach variety, or it can be a combination
of peach, plum, apricot or nectarine all
on the same tree.
I like the fruit combinations best, but
Ive had better customer feedback about
trees with a single fruit but producing at
different times, Duarte said.

these same ofcials say they are large-
ly taking a wait-and-see approach
because it is unclear whether a poten-
tial buyer will continue operating
Seton Medical Center and Seton
Coastside and, if so, commit to exist-
ing arrangements with San Mateo
County for its low-income patients.
Until that is resolved, its pretty
hard to answer what will happen, said
County Manager John Maltbie.
The Board of Supervisors earlier this
year committed $11.5 million in
Measure A half-cent sales tax revenue
to Seton Medical Center for mandato-
ry seismic upgrades at the Daly City
hospital. Seton and DCHS donated
more than $1.5 million to the pro-
Measure A committee. The contribu-
tions provided the lions share of the
funds used to pass the half-cent sales
tax measure. The allocation agreement
is predicated on Seton continuing its
provision of safety net services at cur-
rent levels and using no less than $2
million on the state-mandated seismic
xes. Seton is also currently working
on a strategic business plan, half
funded by the county, on which a
longer-term arrangement if still
valid depending on the potential sale
will be based.
Maltbie said the agreement between
Seton and Health Plan San Mateo com-
mits the funds through the end of this
scal year and, since any Daughters of
Charity sale is unlikely to finalize
before June 30, 2014, he anticipates
honoring that arrangement without
amendment.
So long as Seton continues to
operate under that provision I see no
change, he said.
Meanwhile, Maltbie said he has
asked Health Plan San Mateo and the
Health System to look at contingency
planning so that there will be alterna-
tive plans available if the new owner
does not operate the hospital or oper-
ate it under the same terms.
Health System Chief Jean Fraser
called Setons commitment to patient
care at all income levels a great asset
and she hopes for a purchaser with the
same resolution.
Should that not happen, however,
the Health System, along with other
providers, will do our best to ensure
that patients' needs are met elsewhere
in the community, said Fraser in a
prepared statement.
For its part, the Daughters of
Charity Health System said in its
Monday sale announcement it is seek-
ing potential buyers sharing its
vision to protect the existing care and
jobs. The Board of Directors said it is
soliciting proposals from Catholic,
public, nonprofit and for-profit
groups. The hospital had been
mulling a permanent merger with
Ascension Health but opted instead
for a chain-wide sale after the idea z-
zled.
[T]he realities of modern health
care are harsh, and after prayerful dis-
cernment, it became clear that the
responsible thing to do is to nd new
ownership, blessed with the resources
necessary to thrive, said board Chair
Sr. Marjory Ann Baez in a prepared
statement.
DCHS did not disclose an asking
price.
The systems financial challenges
were a factor in San Mateo County
officials decision to include aiding
private Seton hospital with state-
required infrastructure upgrades using
public money. The countys public
hospital, San Mateo Medical Center,
is located in San Mateo and clinics are
located throughout the county includ-
ing one in Daly City. However, Seton
Medical Center also accepts a large
number of the countys indigent and
serves the northern end so ofcials
were concerned that its possible shut-
tering would further tax the overall
Health System and leave patients
without easy access to care.
Those same worries now shadow the
potential sale of Seton and Seton
Coastside in Moss Beach. Each facili-
ty is also a large employer in their
respective locations which adds eco-
nomic concerns on top of health care
issues.
Like his county counterparts, Daly
City Mayor David Canepa is also
hopeful the potential sale does not
lead to the loss of Seton. Maintaining
a medical facility is priority number
one for the city, he said, but on the off
chance the real estate is sold for
another use he said a corporate campus
akin to Genentech or Amgen would
bolster Daly Citys bottom line.
Both economic and health pieces are
also concern for county Supervisor
Adrienne Tissier whose district
includes Seton Medical Center.
Tissier, who said she personally uses
Seton for its convenience, is taking
an optimistic approach to the future
although she concedes there are sce-
narios that would tax the health sys-
tem and create a large void. Although
Setons nancial challenges were no
secret, Tissier said she was surprised
to learn the sale was of all the DCHS
hospitals.
I never thought it went quite this
far, she said.

SETON
Councilman David Lim.
Ive expressed some buyers
remorse in cutting positions during
the recession, Lim said. The council
needs to take some responsibility that
we perhaps asked staff to do more with
less.
The fact that the department is
becoming swamped again is a good
sign, Lim said. But continuing with a
bare-to-the-bone staff while the mar-
ket began to pick up is what led to the
citys trouble, Lim said.
The Zucker Systems $45,000 audit
involved in-depth interviews with
staff, customer focus groups and sur-
veys of members of the public who are
currently in the permitting applica-
tion process. Having an external
organization solicit staff on condi-
tion of anonymity gave way to frank,
unfiltered and accurate assessments,
Councilman David Lim said.
You dont come up with that many
recommendations without digging
deep. Its a genuine reection of the
organization, Lim said.
The report prioritizes the recom-
mendations and at the top of the list is
hiring appropriate staff to ll vacant
or only temporarily led positions.
Of immediate importance is the need
to hire a permanent Community
Development director to oversee the
implementation of the Zucker sugges-
tions, Ross said.
Making sure information is not lost
by the wayside and is accurately com-
municated to each staff member
throughout the application process is
critical, said Interim Community
Development Director Rory Walsh.
The city began a $1 million initiative
to implement a software program
known as EnerGov System that will
allow staff to track each application
electronically, Walsh said.
Integrating this risk reduction soft-
ware is a critical piece to ensuring the
department eases its application
processes and upholds the citys com-
mitment to its customers, Ross said.
Current community development
applications will not be hindered by
the bolstering of the department, said
Interim City Manager Larry Patterson.
If anything, it could have a posi-
tive impact on current projects,
Patterson said.
After thoroughly reviewing the
report, the council will determine
which recommendations will be
implemented and in what order,
Patterson said.
Were anxious to move forward
with the implementation of the rec-
ommendations, Patterson said.
San Mateo can expect to see a per-
manent city manager and Community
Development director some-
time in March or April. The
city wants to move through
the process as quickly as
possible and hopes to have
applied the first round of
prioritized recommenda-
tions in nine months and
the remainder within two to
three years, Patterson said.
The recommendations
are consistent with our core
principles and allow the
city to look to the future
throughout the implementa-
tion process, Patterson
said. We are committed to
serving the San Mateo com-
munity and seeking con-
stant improvement through-
out the organization.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 2014
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Listen carefully, but
dont allow your emotions to sway you in one direction
or another. It would be better to mediate, rather than
participate, in an unwinnable debate.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Show everyone how
capable you are. A proposal will bring in extra cash
and change the way you live. Dont let a secret affair
cause emotional grief. Honesty is the best policy.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You can make your
dreams come true with a little time and effort. Join
organizations that share your interests and expertise. A
special person should be treated to a romantic evening.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your changing or
inconsistent attitude will cause disruptions with the
people you deal with personally and professionally.
Think twice before you make a sudden move.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Relax, and enjoy
friends and family. Make personal changes that
will keep you up to date mentally and physically. A
pleasurable trip will entice you, but caution while
traveling will be essential.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Set your goals high,
and get ready for action. Consultation with experts
will enable you to cut corners and reach your
destination quickly. Mix business with pleasure.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you feel uncertain,
step back and observe. The more information you
gather, the easier it will be to make a tough choice.
Refuse to get upset about matters you cannot change.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) An emotional mat ter
will skyrocket if you dont control the situation.
Prepare to make last-minute changes if it will
help you avoid an unsavory entanglement. Focus
on personal relationships.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Take steps to ensure
that things go the way you plan. Dont leave
anything to chance, and take steps to correct any
situation that you feel has the potential to head in
the wrong direction.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Too much, too fast
leads to disaster. Watch what everyone else is doing
and protect your interests. Empty promises can be
expected. Get what you want in writing, or take a pass.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Let your mind
wander and your imagination take over. Take a
look at your friendships, lifestyle and home base.
An unconventional arrangement will inspire you to
be more adventuresome.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) An investment
opportunity may look like a sure thing, but look before
you leap. You arent likely to have all the facts required
to make an educated choice. Dont take a risk.

$269,500.00 (Estimated); provided, how-
ever, prepayment premiums, accrued in-
terest and advances will increase this fig-
ure prior to the sale. Beneficiary's bid at
said sale may include all or part of said
amount. It is possible that at the time of
sale the opening bid may be less than to-
tal indebtedness due. In addition to
cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier's
check drawn on a state or national bank,
a savings and loan association, savings
association or savings bank specified in
Section 5102 of the California Financial
Code and authorized to do business in
California, or other such funds as may be
acceptable to the trustee. In the event
tender other than cash is accepted, the
Trustee may withhold the issuance of the
Trustee's Deed Upon Sale until funds be-
come available to the payee or endorsee
as a matter of right. The property offered
for sale excludes all funds held on ac-
count by the property receiver if applica-
ble. Said sale will be made in an AS IS
condition and without covenant or war-
ranty, express or implied regarding title,
possession or encumbrances, to satisfy
the indebtedness secured by Said Deed
of Trust, advances thereunder, with inter-
est as provided, and the unpaid principal
of the note secured by said Deed of
Trust, with interest thereon as provided
in said Note, plus fees, charges and ex-
penses of the Trustee and of the trusts
created by said deed of trust.
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If
you are considering bidding on this prop-
erty lien, you should understand that
there are risks involved in bidding at a
trustee auction. You will be bidding on a
lien, not on the property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to in-
vestigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county record-
er's office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware
that the same lender may hold more than
one mortgage or deed of trust on the
property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and, if applicable, the resched-
uled time and date for the sale of this
property, you may call at (888) 745-1888
or visit this Internet Web site www.pkeith-
salesinfo.com using the file number as-
signed to this case: 12-2808. Informa-
tion about postponements that are very
short in duration or that occur close in
time to the scheduled sale may not im-
mediately be reflected in the telephone
information. The best way to verify post-
ponement information is to attend the
scheduled sale.
