WEALTH GAP IS WIDEST IN SOME AFFLUENT U.S. CITIES
Lawmaker
proposing
tax on fuel
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The state Senate leader on Thursday
proposed a tax on consumer fuel purchases of gasoline, oil,
diesel, ethanol and natural gas, with the money raised
diverted to mass transit projects and households making
less than $75,000 annually.
The plan by Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg,
D-Sacramento, would not create an additional tax, however.
Instead, it would alter how money is raised and spent under a
provision of Californias landmark 2006 greenhouse gas
emissions law, known as AB32.

Aformer Daly City teen who prose-
cutors contend lured a 15-year-old
classmate to his fatal stabbing death
in a storage unit before going on the
lam for 13 years was convicted of rst-
degree murder and the special allega-
tion he waited for his victim.
The combination
means Erick
Morales, 32, will be
sentenced to life in
prison without
parole for the May
21, 2001, death of
Quetzalcoatl Alba.
The defense for
Morales, who did
not testify during the two-week trial,
pointed the nger instead at his child-
hood friend, Reynaldo Maldonado,
who was separately convicted of mur-
der in November. Attorney Tom Kelley
said Maldonado sexually abused,
threatened and urged Morales to kill
Alba to appease an alleged secret
Guatemalan police organization.

LOS ANGELES California has
reached the breaking point, says Tim
Draper. The Silicon Valley venture cap-
italist is pushing a proposal to crack
the nations most populous state into
smaller pieces six of them.
California has grown so big, so inef-
cient, its essentially ungovernable,
according to a ballot initiative that
could reach voters as early as
November.
It has to go, he says.
Vast parts of our state are poorly
served by a representative govern-
ment, according to Drapers plan,
which cleared a key government hurdle
this week, part of the process to quali-
fy for the ballot. California residents
would be better served by six smaller
state governments.
In an interview Thursday, Draper said
he has seen a state once regarded as a
model slide into decline many pub-

Foreclosures fuel
sales; median price drops
Fueled by foreclosures, home sales
in the Bay Area in January 2009 rose
above sales in January 2008 and the
median price of all new and resale
homes and condos fell to $300,000,
the MDADataQuick real
estate information serv-
ices company reported
the week of Feb. 21,
2009.
In San Mateo County, 273 homes
were sold compared to 295 homes.
The median price was $489,500,
compared to the prior years
$675,000 and just more than 43 per-
cent of purchased homes in San
Mateo County were previously fore-
closed. Fifty-four percent of Bay Area
homes that resold that month were
foreclosed properties, DataQuick said.
Home buying remained slow in
pricier coastal markets but was robust
in many inland areas where steep
price declines boosted affordability
and drove some sales of existing
houses to record levels, DataQuick
said.
Burlingame Safeway
plans take big step forward
Anew Burlingame Safeway with
rooftop parking, second-oor ofces
and pedestrian paths might be open
by spring 2011, according to compa-
ny ofcials who outlined the week of
Feb. 21, 2009, the vague but hopeful
plans crafted by ve years of commu-
nity input.
The City Council
denied an application
for a 66,900-square-foot
store on the corner of
Primrose Road and Howard
Avenue more than ve years prior and
the city organized a series of commu-
nity planning sessions to determine
what might best t in the prime city
location.
Report: Countys help
for the homeless insufcient
The countys shelter and safety net
services for those in need of housing
and food had multiple gaps needing
immediate attention, particularly as
the shaky economy increases the
numbers of those needing help, of-
cials reported the week of Feb. 21,
2009.
The board had helped keep the Safe
Harbor homeless shelter open with an
emergency infusion of $70,000 in
September 2008 but wanted a full
inventory of services before consider-
ing further help.
Comparing scal year 2007 and
2008 to scal year 2008 and 2009,
individuals seeking food jumped 26
percent to 4,946, individuals seeking
housing assistance jumped 49 percent
to 3,630 and households seeking
emergency assistance jumped 24 per-
cent to 2,697.
Yet the countys shelter
capacity inventory showed
168 emergency beds, 531
beds and an average of 17 rooms via
motel vouchers per night.
County braces for state budget
San Mateo County residents, like
all Californians, could expect to nd
their wallets hit harder by more sales
and personal income tax and an
increased vehicle license fee under the
state budget passed the week of Feb.
21, 2009.
Ofcials said residents would see
construction projects continued, state
workers without pink slips and a
county not having to use its precious
reserves to oat state-mandated serv-
ices because of payment deferrals.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
An 18-year-old man was arrested on
suspicion of robbing two Redwood City
businesses and attempted to hold up a
third throughout Wednesday morning,
according to police.
The rst robbery occurred at the 7-
Eleven at 1700 Broadway around 3 a.m.,
police said. The suspect, later identied
as Redwood City resident Febronio
Mendoza, allegedly entered the store
and demanded the sole employee hand
over the cash in the register.
Mendoza allegedly told the clerk he
had a gun and simulated holding the
weapon in his front pants pocket,
police said.
The clerk gave the suspect an undis-
closed amount of money from the regis-
ter and Mendoza ran away.
Later, around 10:30 a.m., Mendoza
allegedly entered a Subway sandwich
shop at 1926 El Camino Real and
demanded money from an employee.
According to police, Mendoza was
wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a
mask covering his face.
The employee did not comply with
the demands and Mendoza ran out of the
store, police said.
At another Subway location at 768
Woodside Road around 10:40 a.m.,
Mendoza entered in the same clothing
and mask and demanded money from the
cash register.
He allegedly lifted his sweatshirt and
showed the employee a handgun tucked
in his waistband, police said.
The employee opened the register and
gave him an undisclosed amount of
money from the drawer.
Mendoza then left the store and a wit-
ness saw him get into a dark BMW
parked in the parking lot. Mendoza then
allegedly drove away on westbound
Woodside Road.
Police arrived to the area and recov-
ered video surveillance images of the car
leaving the lot. An ofcer recognized
the vehicle from a trafc stop from a few
weeks earlier and passed along possible
suspect information to investigators,
police said.
Around 3:30 p.m. Mendoza allegedly
came to the Police Department to report
that his vehicle, a black 2006 BMW, had
been involved in a hit-and-run incident.
Detectives were able to connect the
vehicle to the robberies from earlier that
day. Asearch of the vehicle turned up evi-
dence from the robberies including a
handgun and two ries, police said.
The rearms had been reported stolen
from a residential burglary that had
occurred previously in Mountain View,
police said.
Mendoza was booked into San Mateo
County Jail on robbery and attempted
robbery charges.
Police said there were no injuries at
any of the robbery sites.
Anyone with information is asked to
call Redwood City police Detective
Dave Stahler at (650) 780-7620.

Two seriously injured
after falling from scaffolding
San Francisco re ofcials say two
workers are suffering from potentially
life threatening injuries after falling
from scaffolding at a skyscraper under
construction.
Fire spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge
says the workers were installing scaf-
folding when it collapsed, sending one
worker falling 40 feet and another 30
feet shortly after 2 p.m. Thursday at
the 27-story ofce building under con-
struction in the citys South of Market
neighborhood.
Talmadge says parts of the scaffold-
ing fell on the workers as reghters
worked to remove the workers from
some rubble. The workers were taken
to San Francisco General Hospital
with life threatening injuries.
She did not know the extent of their
injuries. Their names have not been
released.
Talmadge says the California
Division of Occupational Safety and
Health will investigate the incident.
The workers are from Webcor
Builders in San Francisco, said Len
Veprone, a senior vice president. He
conrmed that the workers were at the
hospital, but he did not disclose their
conditions. He said the builders are the
Kilroy Realty Corp. and that the site
has been under construction since
April.
Mom: Hopeful signs
seen in teen called brain dead
The mother of a 13-year-old
California girl who was declared brain
dead after suffering
complications from
sleep apnea surgery
said she has seen
changes in her daugh-
ters condition that
give her hope.
Doctors have
declared Jahi
McMath brain dead,
and medical experts
say she cannot be revived.
However, the girls mother, Nailah
Winkeld, said in a letter posted
Wednesday on Facebook and Twitter
that she believes her daughter is doing
better since she was removed from
Childrens Hospital Oakland last month
and taken to an undisclosed facility.
Despite what people say about my
daughter being dead and how I must be
ignorant not to get that, I can tell you
that she is much better physically since
she has left Childrens Hospital and I see
changes that give me hope, Winkeld
said in the letter.
She didnt give details of Jahis condi-
tion or disclose her location. Jahis
family has said the girl has been tted
with feeding and breathing tubes while
remaining on a ventilator.
Family attorney Christopher Dolan
said the letter is meant for those sup-
porting Jahi and her family. He declined
Thursday to discuss the girls condition
in detail.
(Winkfeld) is a good woman who has
retreated to do what she wanted to do
from the beginning: care for her
daughter, Dolan said.

decades and is under the umbrella of Boys
Scouts of America, allows high school and
college students to see firsthand how
police departments function in the commu-
ni t y. Cadets are community service volun-
teers between 14 and 21 interested in
learning, training and participating in a
wide variety of law enforcement functions
and activities.
San Mateo police Officer Laura Sharp has
been a volunteer with the program for five
or six years.
Its a program that allows them to
develop leadership skills, community
service, discipline, responsibility, char-
acter development, confidence and educa-
tion, said Sharp, who has been the cadet
coordinator for two years. I want my
cadets to continue through and get a col-
lege education before they become a police
officer. It wouldnt be successful if (San
Mateo Police Chief) Susan Manheimer did
not support it fully; she allows us to use
all the facilities, equipment and provides
support.
Cadets attend regularly scheduled meet-
ings each month and graduate from the
Peninsula Law Enforcement Explorers
Academy within one year of joining the
program. Each new cadet must go through
a 100-hour training at the Explorer
Academy, which is held at the Public
Safety Academy at College of San Mateo.
This training, as well as further training,
includes a variety of topics including acci-
dent investigation; arrest and control
techniques; communications (dispatch);
CPR and first aid; ethics; crime scene
investigation; the criminal justice sys-
tem; patrol procedures; physical training;
human relations; history of law enforce-
ment; firearms safety and familiarity; and
narcotics.
Many of cadets move on to become
police officers in San Mateo and other
agencies and have also been hired as park-
ing enforcement representatives, dis-
patchers, administrative assistance, com-
munity service officers and records spe-
cialists at the San Mateo Police
Department.
San Mateo police Officer Andrew Trujillo
is one such example. He participated in the
cadet program from 2002-2008.
It was always something I wanted to
do, said Trujillo, who began in the cadet
program when he was 15. I took it and ran
with it from there. The main benefit was
giving you the whole scope of law
enforcement and what it entails. Quite a
few use it as a stepping stone.
The cadets also participate in a yearly
Explorer Challenge when they compete
against other agencies in a variety of
police investigative scenarios. San Mateo
police Officer Nicole Von Glahn, another
graduate of the cadet program, helps out
with these challenges and does presenta-
tions on gang awareness and prevention.
She joined the program at age 16.
At that point, I was at a fork in the road
and trying to figure out what to do, she
said. I didnt know what it entailed other
than what I saw in movies and thats not
realistic. I honed skills to try to get into
law enforcement. I put myself through
the police academy and I honestly think
the relationships (fostered during the cadet
program) and hard work really paid off
because they ended up hiring me.
Cadets assist at National Night Out
events, do traffic control for events in San
Mateo, help with child fingerprintings at
events and help the San Mateo Police
Activities League with activities. Their
latest work will be at 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 22 at the Family Resources
Fair at Hillsdale Shopping Center, 60 E.
31st Ave. in San Mateo in Macys Center
Court. Cadets will fingerprint kids for free
there.

California senator wants
to dump English-only law
SACRAMENTO A state senator on
Thursday proposed repealing Proposition
227, the 16-year-old law that banned most
bilingual education in public schools.
Sen. Ricardo Lara introduced SB1174. If
passed by the Legislature, it would place a
measure on the November 2016 state ballot
to repeal Proposition 227.
The ability to speak more than one lan-
guage is an invaluable skill in the global
economy but in California, most students
dont receive foreign language instruction
until high school, the Long Beach
Democrat said in a statement.
English will always remain the ofcial
language of California, but we cannot
ignore the growing need to have a multilin-
gual workforce, said Lara, whose district
includes many Spanish-speaking immi-
grants.
Passed in 1998, Proposition 227 required
schools to teach only in English even to
students who spoke little or no English
unless their parents signed a waiver.

SACRAMENTO Lawmakers approved a
pair of bills Thursday to strengthen the
authority of Californias campaign watch-
dog agency and require political nonprot s
to reveal their donors, changes that will be
in effect for this years elections if signed
into law by the governor.
Democratic lawmakers in the Assembly
and Senate passed the legislation over
Republican opposition. Both measures
respond to $15 million in anonymous dona-
tions funneled into two 2012 initiative
campaigns that prompted the largest cam-
paign reporting ne in California history.
The Assembly approved SB27 by Sen.
Lou Correa, D-Santa Ana, on a 54-17 vote.
The bill requires tax-exempt nonprots that
are actively involved in elections to com-
ply with campaign finance reporting
requirements. This includes disclosing
donors who understood their money was
intended for California campaigns. A simi-
lar proposed ballot measure served as a
backup in case the Legislature didnt act,
attorney Lance Olson said.
Supporters say the bill closes an exploit-
ed loophole, while Republicans say this
could lead to donor harassment.
State regulators investigated a murky trail
of dark money that was spent to oppose
Gov. Jerry Browns successful tax increase
initiative in 2012 and to support a separate,
failed initiative that would have limited the
ability of unions to raise money for politi-
cal purposes. Donors concealed their identi-
ties by giving money to an Arizona-based
nonprofit that funneled the cash to
California political action committees
through intermediary groups, investigators
said.
Californias watchdog Fair Political
Practices Commission issued a $1 million
dollar ne against two of groups involved,
saying they were in a network of conserva-
tive political nonprot corporations funded
by billionaires Charles and David H. Koch.
The committees agreed to repay $15 million
in contributions, but its unlikely most of
that money will be recovered.
This bill is about addressing a rising tide
of schemes and dark money organizations
who dont have any accountability to the
public, said Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-
Watsonville.
But Republican lawmakers say the bill
infringes on peoples right to participate in
a democracy without facing retaliation.
Theres a reason for anonymity, said
Republican lawmaker Scott Wilk, R-Santa
Clarita. Lets not take that one incident and
throw out years, decades and centuries of tra-
dition.
As an example, he pointed to reported
harassment and boycotts of those who
donated in support of Proposition 8 outlaw-
ing same-sex marriage in California.
The bill would also require campaign com-
mittees that raise more than $1 million to
maintain an accurate list of top 10 contribu-
tors of $10,000 or more. Those lists would
be placed online on the watchdog Fair
Political Practices Commission website
before elections.
On a party-line vote with no debate,
meanwhile, the state Senate approved a bill
that is intended to strengthen Californias
campaign nance safeguards.
Pair of bills would help
strengthen campaign
finance reporting laws

WASHINGTON The number of U.S.
farms is declining even as the value of their
crops and livestock has increased over the
past ve years, a government census of
American agriculture released Thursday says.
The survey, taken every five years,
shows there were a total of 2.1 million
farms in the United States in 2012, down a
little more than 4 percent from 2007. That
follows a long-term trend of declining
numbers of farms.
Also, farmers are getting older the
average age was 58.3 years. But
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack points
to a bright spot: a small rise in the num-
ber of farmers between 25 and 34 years
old.
Vilsack says the boost in the number of
younger farmers is partly due to increased
interest and government support for
locally grown foods and a thriving export
market. Many younger farmers work at
smaller operations, where the boom in
the farm economy and a rising consumer
interest in where food is grown have
helped them.
That boom has been good to all of farm
country: According to the survey, the mar-
ket values of crops, livestock and total
agricultural products were all at record
highs. Farms in the United States sold
almost $395 billion in products in 2012,
33 percent higher than in 2007.
Still, farmers are aging. According to
the census, a third of farmers were older
than 65 in 2012.
The reality is, over time those folks
wont be able to continue farming, and the
question for all of us is, if they dont, who
will? Vilsack said after the report was
released.
Vilsack has made the revitalization of
rural America a priority at USDA. As people
have moved to suburbs and cities, many
communities have increasing poverty and
fewer young people to take over family
farms. He has also argued that the dwindling
population has led to less political clout
made evident by a recent three-year congres-
sional struggle to enact a new farm bill.
President Barack Obama signed the bill,
which provides farm subsidies and food
stamps, this month.
My question is not just who is going to
farm, but who is going to defend them?
Vilsack said.
The amount of farmland in the United
States also shrank over the time period,
from 922 million to 915 million acres. At
the same time, farms grew larger the aver-
age farm grew from 418 to 434 acres.
Vilsack said he is most concerned about
the survival of middle-sized farms, which
declined in the last ve years. The number of
larger and smaller farms held mostly steady.
He said he believes that decline partly
came from a lapse in disaster assistance
while Congress haggled over the farm bill,
drought in many states and rising feed costs.

The reality is, over time those
folks wont be able to continue farming, and
the question for all of us is, if they dont, who will?

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Encouraging higher voter turnout during
special elections and saving money is the
goal of legislation introduced this week by
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South San
Francisco.
As turnout rates in special elections
reach all-time lows, I think we are overdue
for a fresh look at our states election pro-
cedures, Mullin wrote in a press release.
Assembly Bill 2028 would allow special
elections to be conducted primarily by mail
if ballot postage is pre-
paid and Election Day
polling locations must
still remain open to
account for those who
may have misplaced or
never received their bal-
lots, according to
Mullins ofce.
More than half of
Californians vote my
mail during statewide general elections and,
in some cases last year, more than 80 per-
cent of special election voters cast their
ballots by mail, according to Mullins
ofce.
Fully stafng and stocking polling loca-
tions during special elections costs taxpay-
ers millions of dollars and seem inefcient
if people are primarily voting by mail. As
an alternative, AB 2028 would grant elec-
tions ofcials the exibility to conduct
special elections primarily by mail, accord-
ing to Mullins ofce.
Special elections tend to have drastically
poor participation levels, sometimes with
fewer than 10 percent of those who are eli-
gible voting, according to Mullins ofce.
Turnout increases dramatically when
every voter receives a ballot in the mail and
in one case turnout increased by 8 percent
during an all vote-by-mail election. This
could nearly doubt the turnout rate in some
jurisdictions, according to Mullins ofce.
Research indicates that the vote-by-mail
system boosts turnout in special elections
while saving taxpayer money, Mullin said.
At a minimum, this system should be an
option for county elections ofcials.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama will propose an election-year budg-
et that would drop reductions he had previ-
ously embraced in federal benets, ofcials
disclosed Thursday. He also will ask
Congress to approve about $56 billion in
new or expanded programs, stepping back
from aggressive efforts to tackle long-term
government decits and debt.
Obama is scrapping his previous offer to
trim cost-of-living increases in Social
Security and other benet programs. That
idea had been a central component of his
long-term debt-reduction strategy, even
though it was considered odious by many
Democrats.
The decision amounts to a White House
acknowledgement that Obama has been
unable to conclude a grand budget bar-
gain with GOP leaders, even by proposing
a benefit reduction embraced by
Republicans and opposed by many in his
own party. But it is also a testament to the
recently diminished importance of govern-
ment red ink as a driving political issue
amid falling decits and public exhaustion
over threats of federal shutdowns and
defaults.
Ofcials said that some potential spend-
ing reductions included in last years
Obama budget had been designed to initiate
negotiations with Republicans over how to
reduce future decits and the nations debt.
But Republicans never accepted Obamas
calls for higher tax revenue to go along
with the cuts. The new budget for scal
2015 is to be released March 4.
The president was willing to step for-
ward and put on the table a concrete pro-
posal, White House spokesman Josh
Earnest said. Unfortunately, Republicans
refused to even consider the possibility of
raising some revenue by closing some
loopholes that benet only the wealthy
and the well-connected.
Republicans promptly portrayed the
White House move as abandoning any com-
mitment to scal discipline.
The one and only idea the president has
to offer is even more job-destroying tax
hikes, and that non-starter wont do any-
thing to save the entitlement programs
that are critical to so many Americans,
said Brendan Buck, a spokesman for House
Speaker John Boehner. With three years
left in office, it seems the president is
already throwing in the towel.
Obamas proposal embraces the new,
more modest approach to fiscal policy
reflected in a recent bipartisan congres-
sional budget agreement. It retains the
spending levels agreed to in that budget,
but it shifts some specics. It also propos-
es closing so-far-unspecied tax loopholes
to pay for $56 billion in what the White
House calls an Opportunity, Growth, and
Security Initiative. That additional spend-
ing would be split evenly between military
and domestic programs.

WASHINGTON The gap between the
wealthy and the poor is most extreme in sev-
eral of the United States most prosperous
and largest cities.
The economic divides in Atlanta, San
Francisco, Washington, New York, Chicago
and Los Angeles are signicantly greater
than the national average, according to a
study released Thursday by the Brookings
Institution, the Washington-based think
tank. It suggests that many sources of both
economic growth and income inequality
have co-existed near each other for the past
35 years.
These cities may struggle in the future to
provide adequate public schooling, basic
municipal services because of a narrow tax
base and may fail to produce housing and
neighborhoods accessible to middle-class
workers and families, the study said.
Theres something of a relationship
between economic success and inequality,
said Alan Berube, a senior fellow at
Brookings. These cities are home to some
of the highest paying industries and jobs in
the country.
At the same time, Berube noted, many of
these cities may inadvertently widen the gap
between rich and poor because they have
public housing and basic services that make
them attractive to low-wage workers.
The ndings come at a delicate moment for
the country, still slogging through a weak
recovery from the Great Recession. Much of
the nations job growth has been concen-
trated in lower-wage careers. Few Americans
have enjoyed pay raises. President Barack
Obama is pushing for a higher minimum
wage. Protesters in San Francisco have tried
to block a private bus that shuttles Google
employees from gentrifying neighborhoods
to their ofces in Silicon Valley.
Many wealthy Americans, from venture
capitalist Tom Perkins to real estate billion-
aire Sam Zell, argue that the nation has
tipped toward class warfare.
Incomes for the top 5 percent of earners in
Atlanta averaged $279,827 in 2012. Thats
almost 19 times more than what the bottom
20 percent of that citys population earned.
This ratio is more than double the nation-
wide average for this measure of income
inequality.
Wealth gap is widest in some affluent U.S. cities

OPINION 9
Ponytail police
I
t sounds easy, sure. Your
daughters hair is long, it
gets in her face, you have to
put it in a ponytail.
Little did I know there are pony-
tail police. Members of this organ-
ization are surreptitious. They
look like normal people, act like
normal people and talk like normal
people. But
you know
they are a
member of
the ponytail
police when
phrases like,
Did Daddy
do your
ponytails
today? pop
up directed to
your daugh-
ter. Or What a cute way to do her
hair. My favorite: Are those
dreadlocks?
Yes, I know doing a ponytail is
easy for most, but anyone who has
taken a look at the top of my head
lately should know there hasnt
been anything there with which to
practice for quite some time. And
practicing on a squirmy 2-year-old
is not the easiest. The dreadlocks
look is a punt when all else fails.
Its a quick grasp and a rubber band
that does the trick but makes her
look like she should have a hacky
sack. Yes, I know I should brush or
comb the hair, but sometimes (OK,
most times) she would rather not
have that happen. Maybe its my
technique although Ive learned
about brushing from the bottom
or maybe shed rather spend her
time with more worthwhile proj-
ects like dumping things on the
ground or dancing.
I gure the basics are covered
when Im in charge in the morn-
ing. She typically wears cleanish
clothes that may or may not match
or may or may not be appropriate
for the weather conditions (some-
times there is the sincere question,
Does she dress herself? I wish).
She eats breakfast that I cook (for
the most part). I get her to brush
her teeth (although sometimes its
more of a placing the toothbrush
into her mouth in a random way). I
change her diaper when needed. I
play with her. I read to her. She
seems happy. We get along.
And every day I try to get her to
allow me to x her hair.
Sometimes she wants two pigtails
but changes her mind halfway
through so they are so far from
even its a little sad. For me. She
doesnt seem to care. Sometimes
she changes her mind about the
color of the rubber bands she
requires halfway through which
throws everything off. Other days
its successful and I can get one
smooth ponytail in the back with
no bumps in the front. Hooray!
And I have even been known to
have two even pigtails that look
really cute. Those are the days
when I hear, Youre getting bet-
ter! Thats nice to hear, but still,
it would be nice if that was the
norm and there was no need for
commentary from the ponytail
police.
What is also challenging is that
the kind people at her day care
have a natural knack for hair and
sometimes redo it so nice my wife
just knows it wasnt me. I suppose
I could ask for their tricks, but
maybe thats cheating?
But maybe, just maybe, it will
get the ponytail police off my
back until her hair grows long
enough for a headband.

O
ne of the pillars of
Californias Nanny State
style of governance
seems to be the assumption that
the subjects of Sacramentos rule
are incapable of making rational
decisions.
That assumption appears to be
the sole reasoning behind a new
push coming out of the state
Legislature to place warning
labels on sugary drinks, in a fash-
ion similar to the U.S. Surgeon
Generals warning on packs of
cigarettes.
Senate Bill 1000, proposed by
state Sen. William Monning, D-
Carmel, would require warnings
on the front of all beverages with
added sweeteners amounting to at
least 75 calories per 12 ounces.
Soda machines at restaurants
would similarly be required to
carry the warning, which reads:
STATE OF CALIFORNIASAFETY
WARNING: Drinking beverages
with added sugar(s) contributes to
obesity, diabetes and tooth
decay.
The bill is being backed by the
California Medical Association
and the California Center for
Public Health Advocacy, which
cited research showing a linkage
between those health problems
and sugary drinks in their sup-
port.
As with tobacco and alcohol
warnings, this legislation will
give Californians vital informa-
tion they need to make healthier
choices, Mr. Monning said a
news conference at the Capitol.
The California arm of the
American Beverage Association,
CalBev, whose members include
Pepsi-Cola Co., Coca-Cola Co.
and the Dr. Pepper Snapple
Group, were understandably less
receptive to the proposal, which
they described in a statement as
misleading. In particular, they
noted that the industry has already
self-regulated in regards to the
nutrition information it provides,
starting in 2010 with a Clear on
Calories campaign. And CalBev
is clearly right in that regard, as a
trip to any grocery store can
prove.
For example, just looking at
the front of a 12-ounce can of
Pepsi will tell you that each can
contains 150 calories. On the
reverse, that calorie count is bro-
ken down further, showing 41
grams of sugar in every can. That
labeling already provides
Californians much more vital
decision-making information
than the shock value of the sig-
nage in Mr. Monnings bill.
Further, according to CalBev,
studies show only 6 percent of
calories in the average Americans
diet come from soda. The great
majority of calories come instead
from foods containing fats,
starches and oils, the beverage
makers said.
Perhaps the foods containing
those items should also come
labeled. Or any product, for that
matter, as almost anything con-
sumed in excess can have deleteri-
ous effects on the human body,
even something as vital to life as
water.
Or even better yet, Californians
could be allowed to make deci-
sions for themselves without
prodding, however gentle and
well-meaning, from Sacramento.
Because while many of us could,
and probably should, make better
choices about what we put into
our bodies, it is still fundamental-
ly our choice and the risks associ-
ated with ingesting too much
sugar are well-known without
political prodding.
While, perhaps in some
instances, where the self-destruc-
tive behavior of an individual
causes undue harm to another,
there is a rationale for govern-
ment intervention. In the current
crusade against soda, however,
government has trouble making
such a case.
Correcting the
record on high-speed rail
Editor,
Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom,
whose ability and apparent
desire to get under the skin of
Gov. Jerry Brown are limitless,
now proclaims his opposition
to the revised California High-
Speed Rail project.
Such opposition is understand-
able, not because of the meaning
of high-speed rail in California,
but because the present
California High-Speed Rail
Authority has violated the
November 2008 ballot measure
approving general obligation
state bonds for high-speed rail
in California. In doing so,
Newsom makes the unwarranted
claim that he was the first
California mayor to support
such bond measure and cam-
paigned for it with then-gover-
nor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Lets correct the record: Newsom
was not the first California
mayor to support the measure;
the mayors of Los Angeles
(Antonio Villaraigosa),
Sacramento (Kevin Johnson) and
Visalia, among others, preceded
him. As chairman of the bond
measure campaign and as then-
chairman of the California High-
Speed Rail Authority, I recall no
campaigning by Newsom or
Schwarzenegger, who finally in
the summer of 2008 expressed
publically his support of the
bond measure.
Your weekend story Newsom
says to stop high-speed rail
plans also reports that the gov-
ernors office referred to the
authority questions about
Newsoms new opposition, thus
inviting Dan Richard, the cur-
rent authority chairman, to give
away the strategy by stating that
voters [in 2008] backed a
statewide rail modernization
program that is creating jobs
that will provide clean trans-
portation for generations to
come. Voters in November
2008 did not back a statewide
rail program; voters backed
high-speed rail, which differs
from the conventional rail sys-
tems in the Central Valley, Los
Angeles Basin and Peninsula to
which Richard seeks to divert
bond money without voter
approval. Voters backed high-
speed rail in 2008, not a
statewide rail modernization
program.

Water can be desalinated
Editor,
I have said this for decades,
and Im saying it now: Why did
we never think of building
desalination/water-purifying
plants? We are surrounded by
tons of water, from which we
could tap if the need arises. I
know that project would be
huge, expensive and very com-
plex, but it can be done, with all
the technology we have, and
also knowing there would
always be a need for water, with
this dry climate and the ever-
increasing population.
Countries in the Middle East
have had them for years. Were
talking about enlarging reser-
voirs and improving distributing
systems, but first we need water,
which can only come from the
skies or from the Bay or ocean.

A plea for civility
Editor,
Ted Nugent, a self-proclaimed
singer/activist who would be
largely unknown except for his
violent outbursts against
President Barack Obama, is back
in the news with another irra-
tional rant against the president.
In 2012, in an alarming yet
much less controversial state-
ment than his most recent dia-
tribes, Nugent told a meeting of
the National Rifle Association
that he would be either dead or
in jail by this time next year if
Obama is still in office. In reali-
t y, Nugents future is unclear; but
as time goes on it is a given that
he and his ilk will become
increasing irrelevant to any and
all of the citizenry who reject
vicious and hostile rhetoric from
wherever it comes.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEWYORK The pendulum swung
again for stocks on Thursday.
The stock market got a boost on
Thursday from a couple of encouraging
signs that the economy could pick up
after a winter slump. That wiped out a
drop from the day before triggering by
some unnerving news from the Federal
Reserve.
Manufacturing in the U.S. expanded
at the fastest pace in almost four years
in February, according to a private sur-
vey by Markit. In a separate report, the
Conference Board said that its index of
leading indicators posted a moderate
gain in January, suggesting that the
economy will continue to expand in the
rst half of the year.
Todays market is reecting the fact
that the economy has gone through the
doldrums due to the weather and we
should now see a substantial pickup,
said Peter Cardillo, chief market econo-
mist at Rockwell Global Capital.
The Standard & Poors 500 index rose
11.03 points, or 0.6 percent, to
1,839.78. The Dow Jones industrial
average gained 92.67 points, or 0.6
percent, to 16,133.23. The Dow fell 89
points Wednesday after minutes from
the Feds latest meeting showed that a
few policymakers raised the possibility
that an increase in interest rates should
come relatively soon.
The Nasdaq composite climbed 29.59
points, or 0.7 percent, to 4,267.55.
The stock market is now close to
erasing all of its losses after a volatile
start to the year. Concerns about slow-
ing growth in China and other emerg-
ing markets, as well as worries about
the health of the U.S. economy, had
pushed the S&P 500 down almost six
percent for the year by the start of
February.
Among individual stocks, Safeway
rose after the grocer said it was in talks
to put itself up for sale. The grocers
stock climbed 71 cents, or 2.1 percent,
to $35.32 after the company said late
Wednesday that discussions are ongo-
ing but that it hasnt yet reached an
agreement on a transaction.
Tesla Motors was also another winner
after posting strong earnings and fore-
casting a sharp rise in sales this year.
Teslas stock jumped $16.33, or 8.4
percent, to $209.97.
Stocks moved between small gains
and losses in the rst hour of trading as
investors weighed the data from the
U.S. against a survey that showed man-
ufacturing in China contracted for a sec-
ond straight month in February.
Data showing weakness in Chinas
manufacturing sector had pushed stocks
lower in January, but on Thursday
investors decided to focus on the posi-
tive news out of the U.S., and by late
morning stocks moved decisively
higher. The S&P500 ended the day nine
points short of its record high of
1,848.38 set Jan. 15.
After a surge of almost 30 percent in
the S&P 500 in 2013, the market has
become more volatile this year. Given
those strong gains, the market will
struggle to climb much further this
year, said Tom Karsten, an investment
adviser at Karsten Advisors.
While we may see continued eco-
nomic growth, I dont think that its
powerful enough to justify that there
would really be much upward possi-
bility for equity prices, said
Karsten.
Among the days losers were Wal-
Mart and oil and gas company Denbury.
Wal Marts stock fell $1.33, or 1.8
percent, to $73.52 after it offered a
weak prot outlook, signaling that it
expects economic pressures to keep
weighing on its low-income shoppers
around the world. The worlds largest
retailer also said Thursday that its
fourth-quarter prot, which covers the
crucial holiday season, dropped 21 per-
cent.
Energy company Denbury Resources
fell 24 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $15.95
after it posted earnings that fell short of
the expectations of Wall Street ana-
lysts. The company also said that its
2014 production would likely be at the
lower end of its expectations.
Stocks rise as manufacturing expands
Hewlett-Packard 1Q earnings, revenue top views
PALO ALTO Hewlett-Packard Co. on Thursday report-
ed rst-quarter earnings and revenue that topped Wall
Streets forecasts, mainly on the surprising strength of
personal computer sales to businesses.
The company beneted from a one-time bump from
companies upgrading to Windows 7 and buying new
machines for employees before Microsoft stops support-
ing Windows XP in April.
CEO Meg Whitman said that the Windows upgrade cycle
was important, but not overwhelming. She said compa-
nies were also getting around to replacing older
machines.
What I think PC commercial customers understand
from their employees is that while they may want a tablet,
they also need more traditional computer devices to do the
real work, she told analysts on a conference call.
However, Whitman said it is too early to call a turn-
around in the overall trend of declining PC sales.
The Palo Alto companys outlook for the second quarter
was slightly below forecasts, while its full-year outlook
was mostly in line.
My concern is that they perhaps pulled forward some
demand, said Bill Kreher, an analyst with nancial advi-
sory rm Edward Jones. That is why their earnings out-
look for the second quarter is not as high as perhaps some
were hoping for.
Net income in the quarter through Jan. 31 rose 16 per-
cent to $1.43 billion, or 74 cents per share, from $1.23
billion, or 63 cents per share, a year earlier.
DirecTV 4Q results top analysts estimates
EL SEGUNDO DirecTVs fourth-quarter net income
declined 14 percent, hurt in part by increased expenses.
The performance still topped analysts expectations.
The No. 1 provider of satellite TV services in the U.S.
also announced Wednesday that its board approved a new
$3.5 billion stock repurchase program.
DirecTV earned $810 million, or $1.53 per share, for
the three months ended Dec. 31. That compares with $942
million, or $1.55 per share, a year ago.
Analysts predicted earnings of $1.30 per share, accord-
ing to a FactSet survey.
The prior-year period had a lower tax rate and also
included a $111 million gain related to the sale of a stake
in the Game Show Network.
Total operating costs and expenses rose to $7.26 bil-
lion from $6.76 billion. Income tax expense increased to
$411 million from $276 million.
Revenue climbed 7 percent to $8.59 billion from $8.05
billion mostly on subscriber growth in the U.S. and Latin
America.
Wall Street expected $8.48 billion in revenue.
For the year, DirecTV earned $2.86 billion, or $5.17
per share. In the previous year the El Segundo company
earned $2.95 billion, or $4.58 per share. Adjusted earn-
ings were $5.42 per share. Annual revenue increased
almost 7 percent to $31.75 billion from $29.74 billion.

SAN FRANCISCO If Facebook
hopes to remain the social networking
leader, CEO Mark Zuckerberg knows
the company must follow the people.
That realization compelled Zuckerberg
to pay $19 billion for WhatsApp, a
mobile messaging application that is
redening the concept of texting while
its audience of 450 million users
expands at an even faster clip than
Facebook itself.
The deal sent shock waves through
the technology industry because of the
staggering price being paid for a four-
year-old service that isnt as well
known in the U.S. as it is overseas
where WhatsApp has become a hip
way to communicate instantaneously.
Although the amount of money
involved is difcult to comprehend,
the reason Facebook prizes WhatsApp
is easier to grasp.
This is a go big or go home
moment for Facebook, said Benedict
Evans, a former cellphone analyst who
is now a partner with the venture capi-
tal rm Andreessen Horowitz.
Just as he did nearly two years ago
when Facebook bought photo-sharing
service Instagram for $715 million,
Zuckerberg is trying to ensure that his
company doesnt get left behind as
people move to the next trend.
And WhatsApp is whats hot now.
The Mountain View startup already
has nearly twice as many users as the
better known short messaging serv-
ice, Twitter Inc. Whats more,
WhatsApp is adding about 1 million
users each day more than even
Facebook.
Does WhatsApp deal show
Facebook knows whats up?
LOS ANGELES The Secretary of
the Homeland Security Department
said Thursday that a warning to air-
lines that terrorists could try to hide
explosives in shoes was a routine
advisory issued in response to the lat-
est intelligence.
Secretary Jeh Johnson made limited
comments on the threat during a news
conference at Los Angeles
International Airport. Johnson had
toured the airports security operations
and planned to meet later with law
enforcement at a regional intelligence
center.
As you know, concerns about shoe
bombs have been out there for years,
Johnson said. Every once in a while
we update our advisories, we modify
our procedures, so we remain vigilant
in dealing with the various potential
threats that exist.
A U.S. intelligence ofcial told the
AP that DHS released a notice to air-
lines reiterating that liquids, shoes and
certain cosmetics were of concern. The
warning was focused on international
ights into the United States.
Johnson also commented on his
decision Wednesday to withdraw a con-
tract proposal asking a private compa-
ny to give the government access to a
nationwide database of license plate
tracking information.

Team USAs Anne Schleper,right,hangs her head as TeamCanada celebrates its overtime win in claiming the gold medal at the Sochi Olympics.
By Greg Beacham
SOCHI, Russia Atwo-goal lead blown
in the nal four minutes. A long shot that
clanged off the post of an empty net. Two
perplexing penalties in overtime, setting
up a golden goal for Canada.
The U.S. womens hockey team has lost
late in the last four Olympics, but never in
such preposterously heartbreaking fashion
as this 3-2 defeat on Thursday night.
While the Canadians received their fourth
straight gold medals, the Americans were
left blank-faced or crying at Bolshoy Ice
Dome. Sixteen years after the rst genera-
tion of U.S. players won the inaugural
Olympic tournament, these Americans
thought Canadas Olympic mastery over
them had nally waned.
Instead, theyve got four more years to
think about how the Canadians manage to
seize their sports biggest moment while
the U.S. gets left holding silver.
To let them come back in the gold-medal
game at the Olympics is the worst feeling in
the world, said Kelli Stack, who nearly
became an improbable hero with a long
clearing attempt that hit the right post of an
empty net late in regulation.
Stack actually knew she hadnt scored
when she ipped the puck down the ice in
the waning seconds. From her vantage
point, she could tell it was going to hit the
post even before that clunk of rubber
against metal.
If it would have been an inch to the right,
it would have went in, and we would have
won the gold medal, said Stack, shaking
her head. When pucks dont bounce your
way, youve just got to know that it wasnt
meant to be.
Everything seemed dramatically different
in the rst 56 minutes. With a 2-0 lead, U.S.
goalie Jessie Vetter appeared to be eminent-
ly capable of shutting out Canada for the
rst time in Olympic history, and the small
contingent of U.S. fans was bouncing in its
seats.
Oh so close

Arguably playing its worst half of the sea-
son, Woodside girls soccer coach Jose
Navarrete gave one of the most impassioned
halftime speeches of the year.
He told his team that they were going to
attack, attack, attack Menlo-Atherton in
the second half playing Woodsides
brand of soccer results be damned. If the
Wildcats lost, Navarrete said it was on him.
They have not responded to me tapping
into their emotion (this season), Navarrete
said. We needed to come out (in the second
half) with our most emotional half of the
season.
The Wildcats responded. Woodside domi-
nated the nal 40 minutes, scoring twice to
post a 3-0 win and clinch the Peninsula
Athletic Leagues Bay Division champi-
onship for the second year in a row.
This (title) is worth a lot because we were
tested (in PAL play this season), Navarrete
said. We were in doubt (at points this sea-
son). After three games, we were ve points
behind M-A.
Navarrete specically challenged sopho-
more striker Jillienne Aguilera at halftime,
telling her she would get at least four
chances to score and she needed to score
twice.
She didnt quite reach that goal, but she
did have the Wildcats rst three shots on
goal in the second half, including one early
that went just wide.
But six minutes into the second half,
Aguilera did strike. Woodside was awarded a
free kick near the right corner-kick ag.
Lauren Holland stepped up and sent a cross
into the middle of the box where Aguilera
rose above the defense and headed it home
to put the Wildcats up 2-0 and give them
some breathing room.
After 2-nothing, we couldnt respond,
said M-Acoach Paul Snow.
Twenty minutes later, Woodside all but
iced the game. Freshman wing Alex Augulis
held off a pair of M-A defenders deep in the
Bears end. She nally created some space

LOS ANGELES One of the greatest
tragedies played out at Dodger Stadium in
recent years was recalled in a courtroom just
miles away as two men pleaded guilty
Thursday to a 2011 beating that left San
Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow brain dam-
aged and disabled.
They were immediately sentenced by an
angry judge who called
them cowards and the sort
of people that sports fans
fear when they go to
games.
You are the biggest
nightmare for people
who attend public
events, said Superior
Court Judge George
Lomeli as he faced Louis
Sanchez and Marvin
Norwood across a courtroom crowded with
media and members of Stows family who
wept and denounced the two men.
He noted that Sanchez was smirking dur-
ing his remarks.
This is not funny, he snapped at
Sanchez who said he knew that.
Sanchez, 31, acknowledging he kicked
and punched Stow, pleaded guilty to one
count of mayhem that disabled and disgured
the victim. He was sentenced to eight years
in prison with credit for 1,086 days.
The complaint specied that he cut and
disabled Stows tongue, put out an eye and
slit his nose, ear and lip in addition to other
injuries that left him brain damaged.

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

BERKELEY While in the midst of tak-
ing classes at California and simultaneously
pondering his collegiate baseball future after
his sport got cut, pitcher Kyle Porter consid-
ered leaving Berkeley for Oregon in early
2011 to play for the Ducks that season.
He even made a visit to rival Stanford and
dined with Cardinal coach Mark Marquess.
Porter checked out UC Irvine and Long Beach
State, too.
It was supposed to be the nal season of
Cals storied program in spring 2011. Some
players did bolt.
I had to go shopping a little bit, Porter
said. Then we were back and it was all good.
It was stressful because they dragged it on for
so long. I didnt even know how I felt. I was
almost mad at the administration. I was like,
If youre going to cut it, you might as well
leave it. But they did bring it back and it was
a great thing. My commitment to Cal, I was
going to honor.
Its been nearly three years since Cal base-
ball established in 1892 was saved
when supporters came through with $9 mil-
lion from tireless fundraising to keep alive a
program set for elimination by the adminis-
tration in a cost-cutting move.
Cal 15th-year coach David Esquer nally
feels as if the operation is running smoothly
again after a tumultuous couple of years for
the Golden Bears with recruiting and other
challenges to catch back up with the compe-
tition in the dominant Pac-12 Conference.
Porter is so happy he stayed put. Not only
did Cal reach the College World Series in
2011 in one of college baseballs feel-good
stories, he earned his teams rst win there
since 1980 to highlight a 6-0 year in which
he had a 1.89 ERA, two saves and 57 strike-
outs to just 15 walks in 57 innings.
So, Porter told Oregon coach George
Horton he needed to stick it out. As the sen-
ior left-handers season gets underway things
feel normal again.
Im glad I didnt make that decision,
Porter said. I dont think it would have been
a bad decision but I told Coach Horton I made
a commitment to Cal and I was going to
honor that. With the way my year ended up, it
ended up working out for the best. It was a lit-
tle bit of a scapegoat for some guys. We had
three guys transfer. It was an easy way out for
some, and others looked at it as more of a fac-
tor that solidied our team.
Last spring, Cal played its rst night game
at Evans Diamond on campus under new
lights and with a sparkling new scoreboard.
That moment meant so much.
I think a college game is just meant to be
played under the lights, Porter said. Its a
phenomenal atmosphere and I love it. Its
awesome. That sells these days. Were able to
get more in attendance than we were before.
That denitely helps because everyone wants
to play in front of a big crowd.
But the Bears wound up 23-31 in a rebuild-
ing year of sorts.
Last year, a little more difcult one for
Cal, Esquer said. We saw it coming a mile
away, with the events that happened in 2011
and virtually now you miss a year recruiting,
you miss two years, even a little bit more
than two years recruiting. We knew last year
we were going to play young. I literally at
some point was welcoming everything to go
wrong all at once. Lets have it all in one
year, lets get it out of the way, well come
back better for it. Weve got some tremen-
dous experience for some young players last
year.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Brandon Belts
detour to San Franciscos spring training
camp took him through Florida, and he was
more than happy to make the trip.
Belt reported to the Giants in time for
Thursdays workout after traveling between
Scottsdale Nacogdoches, Texas, and Tampa
Bay, Fla., where he signed a one-year deal
worth $2.9 million and avoided an arbitration
hearing.
It was probably not the ideal way youd
like to go, Belt said. Its been an exhaust-
ing process and nerve wracking. Im glad its
over.
While the contract was something he has
been waiting for since turning professional,
hes happy he can concentrate on baseball
again.
His rst order of busi-
ness? Facing Jeremy
Affeldt and Madison
Bumgarner in live batting
practice.
Thats awesome, its
great, Belt said. This is
actually the rst year Ive
faced the big guys in
spring training. Ive
faced the minor leaguers
before now. Its a good
test, I guess.
Belt, who hit .289 with 17 home runs and
67 RBIs last year, had been working out in
Scottsdale before heading to the arbitration
meeting scheduled for the Tampa Bay area.
He and his agent worked hard in preparation
for the meeting and Belt felt ready for it.
You have to stay balanced mentally as
much as possible, he said. You want to get
something done but at the same time theres
the business part of it and you have to stick
with that process. There was a lot of stuff
going on. I guess thats part of why Im glad
its over.
Belt was in a hotel room, alone after dinner
plans were scratched, when he got a call ask-
ing him to come downstairs. It was about
midnight.
It was a magical number to me, Belt said.
Ive been waiting on a phone call like that
since I was in high school.
Belt was a highly-regarded pitcher out of
high school, though a shoulder injury affect-
ed the speed of his fastball, when the Boston
Red Sox drafted him in the 11th round in
2006.
The two sides could not come to an agree-
ment and Belt attended a junior college for a
year before transferring to Texas the next two
years.
It was after his sophomore season that
Texas scrapped his pitching plans and moved
him to rst base, where he began learning the
art of hitting. The Giants drafted him in the
fth round in 2009.
I expected to get close to that when I was
in high school, Belt said. It didnt happen
and then I wasnt expecting to play pro ball.
I cant believe it right now. I guess it will
sink in when I start to get my paychecks dur-
ing the season.
Giants GM Brian Sabaen said recently hes
open to the idea of signing Belt to a multiyear
deal.
Anybody would be open to a long-term
extension, especially with this organiza-
tion, Belt said. Well have to wait and see.
As for facing Affeldt and Bumgarner, Belt
didnt fare so well. Given the chance to face
coaches in regular batting practice, Belt
looked much better.
Belt signed and ready for Giants season

SOCHI, Russia Russias cup-
board was so bare of world-class
female gure skaters that the sports
most dominant nation had to turn to
the kids a few years ago.
Among those youngsters was
Adelina Sotnikova, who won a
national championship in 2009,
when she was just 12.
She was too young to compete at
the 2010 Olympics. When she nal-
ly got to the games this year, she
was overshadowed by an even
younger teammate. But on Thursday
night, the 17-year-old Sotnikova
looked comfortable and unburdened
by the pressure of the host nation,
becoming Russias rst gold medal-
ist in womens Olympic gure skat-
ing.
In the signature moment of the
games for Russians, Sotnikova
defeated defending champion Yuna
Kim of South Korea. Both women
skated nearly awless programs, but
Sotnikova completed one more
decisive triple jump.
I rst dreamed to be at the
Olympics after the nationals in
2010, Sotnikova said. And when I
watched the games in Vancouver, I
really wanted to qualify for the next
games. I knew it wont be easy.
There are so many new talented girls
around.
Well, not really in Russia. Not
until Sotnikova and 15-year-old
Julia Lipnitskaia developed into
junior world champions.
And while much-heralded
Lipnitskaia was stumbling in
Sochi, Sotnikova soared. When she
won the free skate, she further con-
rmed Russian command of the
sport.
This is the happiest day in my
life, Sotnikova said. I simply
stepped on the ice today and realized
how much I like what Im doing and
skated really good.
The Russians have won three g-
ure skating gold medals at these
Olympics: womens, pairs and team.
Sotnikova did not skate in the
team event, and that provided incen-
tive for her in the individual compe-
tition.
When I found out that I was not in
the team, it was hurtful. I felt ugly
inside, she said. Maybe it is all for
the best an advantage for me to
make me so mad.
Sotnikova was considered a long
shot against the likes of Kim, who
announced her retirement after the
free skate; Italys Carolina Kostner,
who took bronze; Japans Mao
Asada; and even Americans Gracie
Gold and Ashley Wagner.
But she won it all, giving Russia
or the Soviet Union 27 Olympic
gold medals in the sport. They own
ve mens golds, 13 in pairs, seven
in ice dance, and took the rst team
event this year.
Sotnikova was watching the
scores on a monitor in the media
area when she realized she won. She
ran waving her arms in the air before
nding her coach for a warm hug.
When she got onto the podium for
the ower ceremony, to raucous
chants of Ro-ssi-ya, she jumped
up and down like a teenager whose
Olympic goal had come true.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia This
one was for Sarah.
Her braid whipping in the chilly moun-
tain air, Maddie Bowman of the U.S. soared
to the rst-ever gold medal in womens
Olympic halfpipe skiing on Thursday, edg-
ing Marie Martinod of France in the nal on
a night the sport paid tribute to late
Canadian freestyle skiing icon Sarah Burke.
Burke, a leading advocate of adding sever-
al events including halfpipe to the
Olympic program, died following a training
accident in 2012. Her parents, Gordon
Burke and Jan Phelan, watched as Bowman
made history.
It was Sarahs dream to be here, Phelan
said. So, its here. The halfpipe is opening
for the women and I miss her like crazy.
The athletes Burke championed tried to
rise to the occasion, Bowman in particular.
Sarah has inspired us on snow or off
snow, Bowman said. I think she would
have been very proud of how all the girls
rode tonight. ... I hope I and all the other
girls made her proud. We wouldnt have been
here without her.
Bowman showed some of Burkes tena-
ciousness in the nals.
The 20-year-old from South Lake Tahoe,
Calif., was just third in qualifying but found
a rhythm in the medal round after overcom-
ing some jitters that she joked made her
want to barf. Stringing along a dizzying
series of spins and grabs, Bowman per-
formed the two highest-scoring runs of the
night, her massive braid slapping the side
of her helmet each time.
Bowmans rst nals run, an 85.80, put
pressure on Martinod, who led qualifying.
Bowmans second trip through the halfpipe
was even better. She clasped the side of her
helmet in disbelief then sat and waited to
see if Martinod or American teammate Brita
Sigourney could top her.
Nope.
Sigourney, who washed out in her rst
finals run, appeared ready to threaten
Bowman before her backside skimmed the
snow with only one jump off the 22-foot
halfpipe left to complete her run.
That left Martinod, who retired in 2007

and whipped a cross into the box.
Isabella Bascara and Aguilera were
both waiting unmarked, but
Bascara got there rst, heading the
ball just over the outstretched hand
of the M-A goalkeeper and just
under the crossbar to put the
Wildcats up 3-0.
[Woodside] made some great
crosses in the second half, Snow
said. They kept pressuring and
had more possession.
Woodsides performance in the
second half was a 180-degree turn
from its play in the rst half when
M-A, playing on Senior Day, took
the game to the Wildcats. The
Bears had Woodside on its heels
for most of the initial 40 minutes,
so much so that Navarrete said his
defense kicking the ball out for a
M-A throw-in seemed like a good
play.
M-Awas ve minutes away from
holding Woodside scoreless in the
rst half before the Wildcats were
gifted a penalty kick by the refer-
ee. Woodside earned a free kick
near mideld and sweeper Giana
Rosati sent a ball to the top of the
M-Apenalty box. As players from
both teams jostled to get into
position to make a play on the
ball, the referee blew the whistle,
indicated a pushing foul on the
Bears inside the penalty box and
awarded the spot kick. Rosati
stepped up and calmly put the ball
away to give Woodside a 1-0 lead at
halftime.
[That goal] kind of took the
wind out of our sails, Snow said.
We deserved to be 0-0 at half.
But Woodside is a great team.
They deserve to wear the crown.

I just kept thinking Were going to
win, U.S. captain Meghan Duggan said. I
looked over at one of our goaltenders, I
said, Theres no way theyre going to score
two goals on Vetts. Shes hot right now.
What happened next is what Dughan calls
crazy mode those frantic nal minutes
of a hockey game when the goalie skates to
the bench and her teammates try anything
to will the puck into the net.
The Bolshoy got crazy, all right. Brianne
Jenner scored with 3:26 to play, banking a
wide-ying shot off Kacey Bellamys knee.
Bad puck luck, Bellamy said.
Poulins tying goal was another bad
break: Vetter attempted a poke-check after
the puck came out from behind the net, but it
somehow went straight to Canadas soft-
spoken Quebecois hero.
Even during the break before overtime,
the Americans remained condent. Stack
recalled only encouragement in the dressing
room at a time when the Americans had
expected to be celebrating.
And then in overtime, the whistles start-
ed.
Neither team could understand the refer-
ees eagerness to call penalties in an
Olympic overtime, which is already 4-on-4
hockey. Just 6 seconds after Canadas
Catherine Ward was sent off for a big hit
near the net, Jocelyne Lamoureux was
penalized for slashing on a single whack at
Shannon Szabados pads with the puck
underneath them.
It stinks to go into an overtime in an up-
and-down game and have so many penalties
called, Stack said. It would have been
great if we could have played 4-on-4 for 20
minutes or whatever.
Moments later during 3-on-3 play, a bad
U.S. line change gave a breakaway to
Canadas Hayley Wickenheiser. Hilary
Knight swooped in from behind, and
Wickenheiser tumbled to the ice.
The ofcials curiously called Knight for
cross-checking instead of either awarding a
penalty shot or allowing play to continue.
Replays showed no significant contact
between the two, except perhaps Knights
right skate clipping Wickenheisers right
skate from behind which isnt cross-
checking.
I didnt touch her, Knight said. She
fell. That was a bogus call. But its not
about any one call.
Poulin ended it 39 seconds later.
The pain was palpable on the faces of the
Americans, Canadas only rival in this
young sport. The U.S. women really had
seemed destined to triumph in Sochi, repeat-
edly playing better than the Canadians in
exhibitions and tournaments. Whats more,
Canada coach Dan Church abruptly quit in
mid-December.
Everything was in place for a U.S. break-
through until Canada broke away again.
You cant take the sting away, coach
Katey Stone said. You just have to tell
them how proud you are of them and how
much they mean to you and what a tremen-
dous privilege and honor it was to be a part
of it.

assault likely to produce great bodily injury
and was sentenced to four years. His credit
for time already in custody appeared to
account for at least the majority of that term.
Deputy District Attorney Michele Hanisee
said Norwood could be released immediately.
But federal authorities said it would not be
so fast. They have charged both men with
weapons possession charges that could send
them to federal prison for an additional 10
years.
The men were sentenced after Stows fami-
ly addressed the court. His sisters wept.
David Stow, the victims father, placed a
Giants ball cap on a podium.
The years you spend in prison is what
you cretins deserve, he said as Sanchez
smirked at him.
The victims sister, Bonnie Stow,
described her brothers anguished life.
We shower him, we dress him, we x his
meals, she said. We make sure he gets his
13 medications throughout the day. He takes
two different anti-seizure medications to
prevent the seizures he endured for months
after you brutally and cowardly attacked
him.
Lomeli told the men: You not only ruined
the life of Mr. Stow (but) his children, his
family, his friends.
He said the two only seemed to care about
when they will be getting out of jail.
One day you will be released, he said,
and Mr. Stow will forever be trapped in the
condition you left him in.
The judge said he often takes his son to
football games and my biggest fear is that
we might run into people like you, who have
no civility.
He concluded, its only a game at the end
of the day and you lost perspective.
Stow, a 45-year-old paramedic from Santa
Cruz who attended the 2011 opening day
game in Los Angeles between the Dodgers
and the Giants, was beaten nearly to death in
a parking lot after the game. He suffered
brain damage and is permanently disabled,
requiring 24-hour-a-day care.
The beating prompted public outrage and
led to increased security at Dodgers games.
Acivil suit by Stow is pending against the
Dodgers organization and former owner
Frank McCourt.
Outside court, Hanisee said prosecutors
had obtained sentences close to the maxi-
mum possible if they had been convicted at
trial. She said there were insufcient facts to
justify a charge of attempted murder which
was considered.
In response to one of the family members
comments, she said, They did get off easy.
Brian Stow is serving a life sentence in a
wheelchair and diapers. He is never going to
get better.
If there is any positive outcome, Hanisee
said attention has been drawn to the prob-
lem of fan violence at sports events.
Sanchez and Norwood were arrested after a
lengthy manhunt that briey involved the
arrest of an innocent man. The two acknowl-
edged their involvement during a series of
secretly recorded jailhouse conversations.
Norwood was recorded telling his own
mother by phone that he was involved and
saying, I will certainly go down for it.
The words the two men spoke in a jail
lockup, unaware they were being recorded,
were played at a preliminary hearing as they
were ordered to stand trial on charges of
mayhem and assault and battery.
Sanchez acknowledged he attacked a
Giants fan, and Norwood said he had no
regrets about backing him up.

but returned to the sport in 2012 at
the urging of Burke. The 29-year-old
Frenchwoman was one of the older
performers in the 23-skier eld and
her introduction included a series of
outtakes with her 4-year-old daughter
Melirose.
Shes my everything, Martinod
said. I keep training and charging
and doing what I love because I want
her to see how great it is to achieve
some goals and be able to reach the
point I wanted to be.
Its a spot Martinod would not have
reached if not pushed by Burke, who
casually suggested to Martinod three
years ago that it was time to come
back. Burke was convinced the half-
pipe would be in the Olympics.
Martinod was not sure she was up for
the challenge after such a long layoff.
I said, Sarah, I love you, but its
not possible, Martinod said. Its
too long (a) time. I quit skiing.
It didnt look like it in the nal. Her
85.40 earned silver and gave her a
chance for her to say goodbye to
Burke. Martinod painted snowakes
on her ngernails in tribute then
stood on the podium alongside her
daughter in triumph.
I feel very proud of these women,
Martinod said.
There were several hard crashes dur-
ing qualifying, the worst coming
when Anais Caradeux slammed into
the ice during her second run. The 23-
year-old Frenchwoman lay motion-
less for several seconds before being
tended to by medics.
Caradeux sustained lacerations on
her face but managed to ski down the
halfpipe to the medical tent. She qual-
ied ninth but didnt compete in the
nals. Caradeux said afterward she
blacked out for 10-to-15 seconds and
sustained some short-term memory
loss.
She was hardly alone on a some-
times bruising night. Sigourney took
a rough fall during her rst nals run,
with Bowman sprinting up the half-
pipe to help her up. She recovered in
time to take a second trip down the
slope but it wasnt nearly good
enough.
Sigourney blinked back tears of
disappointment, though they were
soon cast aside during an event that
served as a celebration of Burkes
legacy.

even hop on the back of a rhinoceros and
rampage through the jungle.

Dixie Kongs propeller-like ponytail help
Donkey make longer jumps, while Cranky

What is
Wagyu Beef?
The characters in the name Wagyu literally
mean Japanese Beef.
Only four breeds qualify to be called Wagyu:
the Japanese Black, Japanese Brown, Japanese
Shorthorn and Japanese Polled breed.
There are about 500 wagyu brands in Japan
Satsuma, Miyazaki, Hida, Sendai, Omi, Matsuzaka,
to name a few.
Kobe Beef is just one of the branded wagyu names.
Thus, not all Wagyu beef is Kobe Beef.
Wagyu calves are weaned soon after birth and stay
at the cow-calf farm up to 7 to 10 months on a milk
replacer diet.
Calves are sold at auction and raised on farms
which will feed each animal with a special diet of
rice straw and wheat roughage, adding whole corn
as the energy source grain.
Animals are typically fed for 600 days on this special
diet, during which time abundant marbling develops
in the meat and produces the white fat coloring.
Tremendous care is placed on each animal as
the nished wagyu beef can command a price of
$10,000 - $12,000 each.
Myth: All farms feed their animals with beer,
brush their hair daily, or comfort them with
classical music in the background. It is really up
to each farmers style.
What makes Japanese wagyu special?
Its texture, avor and aroma. And most distinct is
its marbling. It is the marbling that produces the
sweet taste and melt-in-your-mouth experience.
In Japan, the ne marbling is described as
(shimofuri) or frost sprinkles. The art
of making this prized beef is often judged on how
evenly the marbling appears in the meat.
The characters
in the name Wagyu
literally mean
Japanese Beef.

Miyazaki brand Wagyu beef at

NEWYORK B.J. Novak says his plan
of action following nine seasons of writ-
ing, producing and acting on NBCs popular
workplace comedy The Ofce was a bit
random.
He decided his next project would be to
write, not a lm or another series, or a mem-
oir or even a novel. Instead, it would be a
book of short stories.
It sounded like a crazy thing to do,
Novak said in a recent interview. Oh, what
are you doing after The Ofce? Are you
doing a movie? Are you writing a new TV
show? To say, No, no. Im writing a book.
Just odd little short stories. It sounds like
youve lost your mind and no ones ever
gonna hear from you again. It sounds like,
you know, a crazy, old man in a cabin. And I
wondered if I was a crazy, old man in a
cabin.
Novak, 34, said the ideas for One More
Thing: Stories and Other Stories (Knopf),
which debuted at No. 4 on The New York
Times best-seller list, had been oating
around in his head for a while. Still, the guy
responsible for writing some of the funniest
episodes of The Ofce was apprehensive
about sharing those ideas.
I didnt know if they would ever be worth
anything to anybody, he said. But I just
really wanted to write them, so at rst I
would email them out to a friend or two at a
time. One story to one friend. One story to
another. Very shyly.
To keep himself on track, he set up gigs at
the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, where
he would read his stories to an audience.
From there, he would gauge what worked and
what needed work.
I was so used to this regimen where
scripts had deadlines and had to be lmed
and Steve Carell is waiting for the new
pages that I didnt know what it would be
like to just sit in a house with no one
expecting anything from me and write
something. So I think scheduling those
shows for me was a great bridge between
being on The Ofce and writing on my
own.
Novak took other interesting approaches
for this book.
He directed a black-and-white Parisian-
themed trailer that can be seen on YouTube,
in which he plays a version of himself try-
ing to impress friend Mindy Kaling because
he, too, had written a book. Kalings book
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?
(And Other Concerns) was also a New York
Times best-seller.
At first I wanted to look cool, he
laughed. Then I thought, Maybe make fun
of the part of you that wants to be that.
Then theres the audio book, where he
enlisted actors Carey Mulligan, Julianne
Moore, Katy Perry, Lena Dunham, Rainn
Wilson and Jason Schwartzman to read some
of the characters.
I consider this book a work of entertain-
ment and so I wanted (the audio book) to be
entertaining, he said.
Novak has a deal for another book and
says he has hundreds of ideas for stories.
And he wants to do more acting, although
feeling comfortable on-camera didnt hap-
pen overnight.
I read an interview once where a director
said that you have to be two things in front
of a camera, completely focused and com-
pletely relaxed. That sounds like a paradox
and the best actors are the ones who can do
that. I think thats why we can all agree Im
one of the best actors alive, he dead-
panned.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
OBSESSIVE REDUCTION AT
THE MUSEUM OF CRAFT AND
DESIGN IN SAN FRANCISCO.
The Museum of Craft and Design
(MCD) presents Obsessive Reductive,
a group exhibition of 18 artists work-
ing in a variety of media including
paper, wood and metal. Each artist
began with an object and, by remov-
ing material from it, created a new
object with strikingly different and
often whimsical properties.
MCD curator Marc DEstout said,
The reductive, or subtractive, process
of object making, in which physical
material is removed to create a form, is
as ancient as humans rst efforts to
create tools. Until recently in the his-
tory of art, it was the primary method
for creating sculpture, before mod-
ernist additive processes and appropri-
ated objects began to dominate. In our
contemporary culture, skill sets
evolve as the bar is relentlessly raised.
While traditional wood and stone carv-
ing, especially in representational g-
urative works, employ meticulous
efforts in the reductive process, the
artists participating in this exhibit
amplify the idea of the reductive action
and apply it to less conventional ends.
They take the process to different
extremes, intricately, precisely and
obsessively removing material by
hand to create extraordinary imagery
in works that involve astonishingly
complex patterns or form. In many
cases, the use of material absence is
employed as a signicant design com-
ponent, positioning negative space as
the dominant element in the work.
Many of the works in this exhibit use
paper as the primary medium. Artists
working with this material have been
inuenced by rich paper-cutting tradi-
tions from various cultures. In addition
to paper, these diverse artists have
reduced wood, porcelain, plastic,
metal and even soot into awe-inspir-
ing artworks for Obsessive Reductive.
Despite the various approaches and
media used, there are notable similari-
ties running through all the works in
this exhibition: concentrated detail,
visual complexity and a very uncon-
ventional interpretation of less is
more.
Featured artists are Drew Daly, Brian
Dettmer, Jim Dingilian, Adam
Feibelman, Theresa Ganz, Cal Lane,
Bovey Lee, Chris Natrop, Aric
Obrosey, Francesca Pastine, Lyndi
Sales, Jill Sylvia, Leigh Salgado,
Farnaz Shadravan, Kako Ueda, Annie
Vought, Elise Wehle and Jared
Yamanuha.
Curator DEstout said: In each case,
Im impressed not only by the aesthet-
ic and conceptual vision of these
artists, but also by their level of skill
and commitment to crafting their cre-
ations.

MODERN NATURE: GEORGIA
OKEEFE AND LAKE GEORGE AT
THE DE YOUNG MUSEUM. From
1918 until 1934, the painter Georgia
OKeeffe lived for part of each year at
the family estate of photographer
Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) on Lake
George in New Yorks Adirondack
Park. The 36-acre property, situated
near Lake George Village along the
western shoreline, served as a rural
retreat for the artist, providing the
subject matter for much of her art, and
inspiring the spirit of place that she
continually evoked in her works from
this era, an essential aspect to her
evolving modern approach to depict-
ing the natural world. Modern Nature:
Georgia OKeeffe and Lake George, at
the de Young Museum in Golden Gate
Park, is the rst major exhibition to
examine the body of work that
OKeeffe (1887-1986) created based on
her experiences at Lake George. This
period coincided with OKeeffes rst
critical and popular acclaim as a pro-
fessional artist, helped dene her per-
sonal style and afrmed her passion
for natural subject matter prior to her
well-known move to the Southwest.

And then there are the wretched
boss battles at the last stage of each
island. The formula is way too famil-
iar: dodge projectiles, jump on or
throw things at the boss, rinse and
repeat. Its a formula that crosses the
line between retro and archaic, and
each time the tedium made me want to
give up the game for good.
The non-boss levels are pretty, but
the structure keep moving to the
right doesnt change much between
levels, despite cosmetic differences.
There are plenty of prizes to collect, as
well as hidden bonus rooms and secret
alternate routes, but all that loot was-
nt enough to make me want to replay

NEW YORK After battling
with his major label for years, 50
Cent has decided to become an
independent artist.
The rapper announced Thursday
that hes leaving his longtime
record label, Universal Music
Groups Interscope Records, and
Eminems imprint,
Shady/Aftermath.
The Grammy winner and his G-
Unit Records
have signed a
d i s t r i b u t i o n
agreement with
Caroline, the
i n d e p e n d e n t
label at Capital
Music Group.
Capitol is one
of the many
labels that are
part of Universal Music Group.
50 Cent launched an ultra-suc-
cessful, six-times platinum debut
with Get Rich or Die Tryin i n
2003, when he burst on the music
scene with Eminem as his men-
t or. His sophomore album,
2005s The Massacre, was
almost as successful, but other
albums didnt match his previous
efforts and he expressed his
unhappiness with his label. 50
Cent had been planning to release
a fifth album on the label, but it
was set with multiple release
dates and singles, and eventfully
didnt see a release.
His last album was 2009s
Before I Self Destruct, which
also had several release dates.
I have had great success to date
with Shady/Aftermath/Interscope
and Id like to thank Eminem and
Dr. Dre for giving me an incredi-
ble opportunity, 50 Cent said in
a statement. Ive learned so
much from them through the
years. I am excited to enter this
new era where I can carry out my
creative vision.
50 Cent had a plethora of hits
early in his career that dominated
the pop, rap and R&B charts,
from P.I.M.P. to Candy Shop
to the anthemic In da Club,
which introduced the young rap-
per aside Dr. Dre and Eminem.
Both myself and Shady
Records are grateful to have had
the chance to play a part in 50s
career, Eminem said in a state-
ment. Shady simply would not
be what it is without 50 Cent.
Ive developed a great friendship
with 50 over the years, and thats
not going to change. We know 50
will have success in his new situ-
ation, and we remain supporters
of both him and G-Unit.

The sad fact of the matter is, most of us
wont make it to New Orleans to celebrate
Mardi Gras. But thats no reason to forsake
some of the citys classic cuisine.
This year, honor Mardi Gras by making
jambalaya at home. Its the perfect dish for
out-of-towners; its easy, its weeknight-
and kid-friendly, and its extremely versa-
tile. Because while there are several basic
approaches to jambalaya Creole and
Cajun among them there really are end-
less variations on this dish of rice, meat
and seafood.
So we decided to put a local spin on jam-
balaya, with variations playing up ingre-
dients drawn from New England, the
Southwest and the West Coast. Just follow
the base recipe, adding in the local ingre-
dients of your choice (see the variations
below the recipe). And dont hesitate to
mix and match. The beauty of a dish like
this is that it will be delicious pretty much
whichever direction you head.
JAMBALAYA ACROSS THE COUNTRY
This is a have-it-your-way approach to
jambalaya. Follow the base recipe below,
adding the local variations where indicat-
ed. Our suggestions for those variations
are listed below the base recipe, but feel
free to substitute the ingredients of your
choice.
Start to finish: 1 hour
Servings: 12
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large yellow onions, diced
1 large green bell pepper, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound sausage (see below)
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken
thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 cups crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
Regional variation of vegetable and sea-
sonings (see below)
2 cups long-grain white rice, such as
basmati
2 quarts low-sodium chicken broth
3 bay leaves
1 pound seafood (see below)
Salt and ground black pepper
In a large Dutch oven, preferably cast-
iron, over medium-high, heat the veg-
etable oil. Add the onions, green pepper,
celery, red pepper flakes and sausage (see
below). Cook, stirring, until browned,
about 10 minutes.
Add the chicken, tomatoes, vegetable
and seasonings (see below), rice, chicken
broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then
reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for
20 minutes, or until the rice is tender, stir-
ring occasionally. Add the seafood and
cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until
the seafood is cooked through. Season
with salt and pepper. Remove and discard
the bay leaves before serving.
NEW ENGLAND VARIATION:
Use bulk breakfast-style sausage. For the
vegetables and seasonings use 2 table-
spoons minced fresh sage, 1/4 cup
chopped fresh parsley, 1 large sweet pota-
to, peeled and diced, and 1/2 bunch of
Swiss chard, chopped. For the seafood, use
lobster meat if available, otherwise use
peeled and deveined raw shrimp.

for by the Transit Village to Laureola Park.
The last economic analysis of the project in
2013 estimated the fee at $515,000 based
on the $1,000-per-bedroom charge but that
gure has since been bumped to $1,887 per
bedroom while the developments overall
sized was reduced. Currently 200 units are
on the drawing board but the number of bed-
rooms is not yet determined.
During the lengthy process of approving
the Transit Village around the existing
Caltrain station, the Greater East San Carlos
group raised a number of concerns including
impacts to nearby Laureola Park. The coun-
cil was not able to make designation of the
in-lieu fees a condition of project approval
so is instead now considering the idea of
allocating the funds specically for park
improvements including its expansion to
Holly Street. Other possible improvements
included in the citys master plan for
Laureola included replacing the Laureola
Building and addressing the ball field,
bleachers and restrooms. The costs of build-
ing replacement is estimated at $2,253,300
although improving the existing building
is $425,000.
The GESC also asked for other items that
arent included in the master plan which
would need to either be added or funded sep-
arately. Those include improving vehicle
entrance and parking improvements and
creating a community garden and swimming
pool.
The City Council approved the Transit
Village development in November after
reducing its size signicantly in response
to concerns like shadowing, traffic and
noise. As approved, the project will sit on
El Camino Real near Holly Street around the
current historic train depot and include a
new transit center as well as the three-story
residential and retail buildings.
Funding upgrades isnt the only Laureola
Park item before the City Council at
Monday nights meeting. The council will
also be asked to establish a three-hour park-
ing limit zone at the park daily between 7
a.m. and 6 p.m. excepting for Sundays and

Steinbergs plan, and Republican lawmak-
ers questioned whether it could pass the
Legislature.
It would impose an estimated 15-cents-
a-gallon carbon tax on fuel next year, off-
setting an indirect tax that will be
imposed in 2015 under the existing law
that helped establish the nations largest
carbon-trading marketplace.
The states current cap-and-trade program
applies only to industrial plants. It allows
companies with higher emissions of
greenhouse gases to buy pollution credits
from companies that have found a way to
lower their emissions below a certain
threshold.
But next year, the cap-and-trade program
is scheduled to be extended to the producers
of carbon-based consumer fuels. In turn,
that will raise prices at the pump by an
uncertain level.
Steinberg said his proposal would raise
the per-gallon carbon tax to an estimated
24 cents by 2020, which he said would still
be lower than the 40-cents-a-gallon price
hike that is possible under AB32. He
acknowledged, however, that by 2029 his
proposed carbon tax would be higher than
the upper projected limit under the current
law.
Either tax will sting motorists at the
pump as a necessary way to lower fuel con-
sumption and discourage the emission of
gases blamed for causing global warming,
Steinberg said.
On the issue of climate change, we have
no choice: We must reduce the amount of
carbon we put in the air, and that will come
with a price, he said. Nothing is free.
Steinberg argued during a luncheon
address before the Sacramento Press Club
that his proposal is less volatile than bas-
ing the cost on the market rate. And he said
it would be more honest with consumers,
who would see the carbon tax reflected
directly instead of through the cap-and-
trade marketplace. Steinberg said a direct
carbon tax also would be less vulnerable to
price spikes, shortages and manipulation
by the oil industry.

WASHINGTON Aman who says he was
punched in the face by singer Chris Brown
and his bodyguard during an altercation
outside a Washington hotel is suing for $3
million.
The civil lawsuit filed Tuesday in
Superior Court in Washington seeks $1.5
million from each man. The lawsuit filed
by lawyers for Parker Isaac Adams says
that Adams nose was fractured and he had
other injuries to his head
and face as a result of
being punched.
Adams said in a tele-
phone interview
Thursday that he is seek-
ing to recover money for
his medical bills which
include visits to a plastic
surgeon and a breathing
specialist. The lawsuit
seeks compensatory damages of $1 mil-
lion and punitive damages of $500,000
from each man. A lawyer for Adams, John
C. Hayes Jr., said his client is largely
seeking money for pain and suffering
though he is continuing to receive medical
care for his injuries.
Brown and his bodyguard, Christopher
Hollosy, were arrested in October after
Adams said both punched him in the face
outside the W Hotel. The lawsuit says
Adams, 20, tried to get in a picture that
Brown was taking with two of Adams
friends, and the singer and then Hollosy
punched him.
Lawyers for Brown and Hollosy declined
to comment Thursday on the civil lawsuit.
At the time Brown was arrested, the
Grammy winner was on probation in
California for a 2009 attack on singer
Rihanna, his then-girlfriend. Both Brown
and Hollosy are charged criminally in
Washington with misdemeanor assault,
and the result of the case could affect
Browns case in California.
During a hearing Thursday, lawyers

lic schools are troubled, transporta-
tion, water and other infrastructure
systems are overmatched and outdated,
spending on prisons has soared.
Agroup of states could change that,
he said, competing and cooperating
with each other.
Without change it will get worse,
he warned. California is not work-
ing.
No one would dispute that
California, home to 38 million peo-
ple, is full of rivalries and squabbling.
Dodgers or Giants. Tacos or sushi.
Where water goes, and how much of it.
But the state has proven reliably
resilient against attempts to split it
apart, dating to the era of its founding
in 1850. Over the years, proposals
have suggested California should be
two states, or three, or four.
Its certainly fun to talk about,
said Raphael Sonenshein, executive
director of the Pat Brown Institute of
Public Affairs at California State
University, Los Angeles. But its
prospects are nil.
Even if it were to be approved by
voters, Congress would have to
endorse the idea of creating six new
states and adding 10 senators to the
chambers political mix (as with all
states, California currently has two).
Congress, under the U.S.
Constitution, must approve the cre-
ation or division of any states.
I dont think anyone is going to
give California 12 Senate seats,
Sonenshein said.
Draper, in documents he submitted
to the Secretary of States Ofce, rec-
ommends dividing California region-
ally, including establishing a state
called Silicon Valley, which would
include San Francisco and nearby
counties that are home to technology
giants like Facebook and Apple.
Los Angeles would become part of
the new state of West California,
which also would include the coastal
cities of Santa Barbara and Ventura.
The states farming heartland would
become Central California. San Diego
would be the largest city in the new
South California.
Earlier this week, he received
approval from the state to begin col-
lecting petition signatures to qualify
the proposal for the ballot he needs
about 808,000 by mid-July to make
the cut.
Its also possible the proposal could
be delayed until 2016. Facing a tight
deadline to gather signatures and build
political momentum, I want to make
sure there is enough time, Draper
said.
The complexities of dividing a state
the size of California, by itself among
the worlds top 10 economies, would
be daunting.
What would become of the
California State Water Project, which
uses aqueducts and pumping stations
to disperse water across the state? If
the federal government approves the
idea, tax collections and spending by
the state would end, and its assets and
debts would have to be divided.
Draper said the smaller govern-
ments would be more responsive to
the needs of residents and communi-
ties, compared to Sacramento. There
would be vigorous competition for
residents among them, he predicted,
again driving change.
Campaign veteran Matt David
doubted the proposal would get far.
California is as diverse geographi-
cally as it demographically, but ulti-
mately we all take pride in the fact that
we are Californians, said David, a
Republican consultant based in Los
Angeles. Diluting that identity
between six states will never hap-
pen.

When Morales balked, Maldonado
committed the crime but took a photo
of his client hunched over the body
either as proof for the police or for
future blackmail, Kelley said.
After the verdict was reached, Kelley
said he heard from jurors that they
immediately rejected the prosecu-
tion theory he was the stabber and
accepted the idea he was terrorized
by Maldonado but that the aiding and
abetting law left them with little
option other than a conviction.
They tended to believe him almost
completely but the problem is the law
tied their hands in terms of what they
could do, Kelley said. One [juror]
said its not a happy day for anybody.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe,
however, called the conviction jus-
tice for this family and that it very
clearly shows that the jury believed
the primary move was Mr. Morales.
Jurors returned the verdict on the
fourth day of deliberations during
which they were left to decide if
Morales, through the actual killing or
helping Maldonado, was guilty of mur-
der and if he lured Alba to the Westlake
Apartments complex storage area local
teens used as a hangout.
During closing arguments, prosecu-
tor Jeff Finigan told jurors Morales
and Maldonado both killed Alba
although nobody outside themselves
may ever know why.
The two men knew each other as
children in Guatemala where they had a
sexual relationship and separately
ended up in Daly City. Morales attend-
ed school with Alba and was the last
person spotted with him before his
body was discovered by two class-
mates. Morales told police he barely
knew Alba but the two had exchanged
dozens of phone calls including one
the night before he was stabbed repeat-
edly.
The month after the murder, both
defendants disappeared and the case
grew cold until 2007 when a Florida
friend of Maldonado contacted authori-
ties to report he had confessed the mur-
der and shared the photo of Morales
and the body. The tipster also said the
murder weapon, Morales bloody
sweatshirt and Albas cellphone were
buried in the yard of Morales child-
hood home on Miriam Street. Police
dug up a tin can containing the items
and extradited Maldonado from
Florida. Morales followed in 2009
after a DUI trafc stop on Long Island
revealed his true identity.
Jurors deliberated three days in
November before convicting
Maldonado of murder but rejected the
special allegation of lying in wait that
would have negated the possibility of
parole.
Morales and Maldonado both remain
in custody without bail. Maldonado
will be sentenced March 7 and Morales
April 1.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2014
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You need a challenge.
Explore new and complex subjects in order to quench
your thirst for knowledge. Take advantage of any free
time to read and expand your outlook.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be careful what you
wish for. Trying to emulate a phony lifestyle will not
bring good results and can be costly. Be proud that
you are a responsible individual who works hard.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone close to
you may be feeling neglected. Spend time nurturing
important relationships. Plan a trip or attend an event
that helps bring you closer to the people you love most.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Maintain your position
in the workplace by emphasizing your talents and
ideas to your superiors. Doing so will help to dispel
criticism from an opposing quarter.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Dedicate time to your
family. Sharing hobbies, playing games or enjoying
other entertainments will bring you closer together.
Happy memories are what build strong bonds and
encourage togetherness.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Remain calm and patient
in your dealings with moody individuals. Take steps
to ensure that slight differences of opinion dont
get blown out of proportion. A positive attitude will
bring stellar results.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Youll be upset if things
dont go your way. Seeking advice from trusted
relatives may help you to gain a new perspective.
Dont be afraid to admit you have a problem.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Financial matters take
precedence. Ignore the pleas of those who want
to borrow from you. Keeping accurate records of
investments and expenditures is essential to good
money management.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Unreasonable
accusations or unfounded jealousy will cause
tension between you and someone you love. You
can avoid unpleasant situations by keeping your
thoughts and emotions in check.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Stay clear of
those who try to involve you in their private affairs. You
have much to lose and little to gain if you take sides.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Dont go over
your budget. Spend time acquainting yourself with
community events and local activities. You may be
hesitant at first, but your social life will benefit if
you participate.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Someone is
withholding information. You will be able to learn
all the details if you maintain your focus and ask
pertinent questions. Increased career commitments
will keep you busy.

Mexico condemns
shooting by U.S. border agent
SAN DIEGO The Mexican
government on Thursday con-
demned a U.S. Border Patrol
agents fatal shooting of a
Mexican man who allegedly struck
the agent in the head with a rock
near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Mexicos Foreign Relations
Department said in a statement that
it was profoundly concerned
about the killing of Jesus Flores
Cruz, 41, near San Diego. The
department said lethal force should
be avoided in immigration enforce-
ment.
The unidentied agent red his
gun Tuesday after Flores Cruz
hurled several large rocks, includ-
ing one about the size of a basket-
ball, according to the San Diego
County Sheriffs Department,
which is leading the investigation.
One of the larger pieces hit the
agent in the head and that the agent
feared for his life, investigators
said.
Flores Cruz suffered two gunshot
wounds, the sheriffs department
said. Authorities said they con-
rmed his identity with a nger-
print match from a 1996 arrest by
the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration. No further details
on that arrest were released.
Remedios Gomez Arnau,
Mexicos consul general in San
Diego, said the agent is the only
surviving eyewitness. Two other
Mexicans who entered the country
illegally and were arrested nearby
heard gunre but did not witness
the shooting, she said.
The Mexican government has
been unable to locate Flores Cruzs
family and doesnt know which
part of the country he is from,
Gomez Arnau said.
Around the nation
By Yuras Karmanau
KIEV, Ukraine Protesters
advanced on police lines in the
heart of the Ukrainian capital on
Thursday, prompting government
snipers to shoot back and kill
scores of people in the countrys
deadliest day since the breakup of
the Soviet Union a quarter-century
ago.
The European Union imposed
sanctions on those deemed
responsible for the violence, and
three EU foreign ministers held a
long day of talks in Kiev with
both embattled President Viktor
Yanukovych and leaders of the
protests seeking his ouster. But
its increasingly unclear whether
either side has the will or ability
to compromise.
Yanukovych and the opposition
protesters are locked in a battle
over the identity of Ukraine, a
nation of 46 million that has
divided loyalties between Russia
and the West. Parts of the country
mostly in its western cities
are in open revolt against
Yanukovychs central govern-
ment, while many in eastern
Ukraine back the president and
favor strong ties with Russia,
their former Soviet ruler.
Protesters across the country are
also upset over corruption in
Ukraine, the lack of democratic
rights and the countrys ailing
economy, which just barely avoid-
ed bankruptcy with a $15 billion
aid infusion from Russia.
Despite the violence, defiant
protesters seemed determined to
continue their push for
Yanukovychs resignation and
early presidential and parliamen-
tary elections. People streamed
toward the square Thursday after-
noon as other protesters hurled
wood, refuse and tires on barri-
cades.
The price of freedom is too
high. But Ukrainians are pay-
ing it, said Viktor Danilyuk,
a 30-year-old prot est er. We
have no choice. The govern-
ment isnt hearing us.
In an effort to defuse the situa-
tion, the national parliament late
Thursday passed a measure that
would prohibit an anti-terrorist
operation threatened by
Yanukovych to restore order, and
called for all Interior Ministry
troops to return to their bases.
But it was unclear how binding the
move would be. Presidential
adviser Marina Stavnichuk was
quoted by the Interfax news
agency as saying the measure goes
into effect immediately, but that a
mechanism for carrying it out
would have to be developed by the
presidents ofce and the Interior
Ministry.
At least 101 people have died
this week in the clashes in Kiev,
according to protesters and
Ukrainian authorities, a sharp
reversal in three months of mostly
peaceful protests. Now neither side
appears willing to compromise.
