Shoddy construction is causing
cracks, water damage and structural
issues at a 105-unit condominium
development that opened in
Millbrae in 2006, according to a
lawsuit led against the developers
this week.
The 88 South Broadway condos
went on the market in late 2006.
More than 100 two-bedroom homes
ranging from 1,250 to 1,800 square
feet were sold from $795,000 to
$1.28 million, according to a 2007
San Mateo County real estate study.
In addition to the two-bedroom
homes, the building offers a gym,
community room and secure key-
card access. Construction of these
luxury condos is subpar, according
to a 22-page lawsuit led Thursday
on behalf of the residential home-
owners association, 88 South
Broadway Association.
Calls to the former management
team, which is listed on the lawsuit,
resulted in being forwarded to the
Pauls Corporation in Colorado,
which developed the property. No
one at the Pauls Corporation was
available to comment about the
claim.
The construction violates build-
ing codes for residential homes,
according to the lawsuit. In addi-
tion, temporary xes were used to

A baby born with a cleft lip or
palate in the United States would
normally have it taken care of rather
quickly.
Such a birth defect could lead to
problems with feeding, ear disease,
speech and even socialization. Since
babies in this country usually have
surgery early in life, its rare to see
such a defect here, explained
Vernon Huang, an anesthesiologist
at Mills-Peninsula Medical Center.
But thats not the case in other parts
of the world.
Huang is also a trustee on the
Destination: Hope International
Medical Missions board, a nonprof-
it that sends medical professionals
to countries in which such defects
are not treated due to lack of
resources or available doctors.
Its a chance to do something
with people who really need it, in
challenging conditions, Huang, a
Hillsborough resident, said of tak-
ing part in the missions.
Thats where the Bay Area-based
nonprot Destination: Hope comes
in.
The organization takes medical
professionals on one or two, one-
week medical missions annually
during which time they will perform
between 20 to 60 reconstructive sur-
gical procedures. Most of those sur-
geries are for cleft lips and palates,
but the doctors will help with any
reconstructive needs.
The work began in 2004 when
plastic surgeon Scott Mosser, who
founded the nonprofit, was
approached by the Philippine
Medical Society of Northern
California about going on a trip to
perform plastic surgery in the
Philippines. Huang was a pediatric

Dog park
causing
problems
By Brendan Bartholomew
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Pacicas rst dog park is making
some of its neighbors miserable, and
they want the city to move it. The
Sanchez Dog Park, on city property
between the Sanchez Art Center and
homes on South Alicante Drive, has,
according to some residents, been a
source of noise and dust since its
March 30 opening.
Photography instructor Stephen
Johnson, whose studio is next to the
dog park, said in addition to noise
from barking dogs disrupting his
classes and creative process, hes
also had to contend with dog owners
taking up parking spaces reserved
for his clients and students.
However, dog owners Mark and
Elaine McKeen said the park has
greatly benefited their little dog,
Wally.

NBC execs say its not
a shoot-em-up network
PASADENA NBC executives said
Sunday they are conscious about the
amount of violence they air in the wake
of real-life tragedies like the
Connecticut school shooting, but have
made no changes in what has gone on
the air or what is planned.
NBC isnt a shoot-em-up network,
said network entertainment President
Jennifer Salke.
The level of violence on television, in
movies and video games has been
looked at as a contributing factor
along with the availability of guns and a
lack of mental health services in inci-
dents such as the Dec. 14 attack in a
Newtown, Conn., school where 20 rst-
graders and six educators were killed.
Like many in Hollywood, NBC ques-
tioned a link between what is put on the
air and what is happening in society.
It weighs on all of us, said NBC
Entertainment Chairman Robert
Greenblatt. Most of the people at this
network have children and really care
about the shows that were putting out
there. Its always something thats been
on our mind but this brought it to the
forefront.
NBC hasnt needed to take any tangi-
ble steps like minimizing violence in its
programming or deemphasizing guns,
Salke said, because NBC didnt have
much violence on the air. It might be dif-
ferent if we were the shoot-em-up
network, she said.
She didnt name such a network, but
said violence might be an issue on a net-
work that airs many crime procedural
shows. Thats a staple of CBS lineup.
Greenblatt, who was head of Showtime
when the Dexter series about a serial
killer was developed, said CBS
Criminal Minds is worse than
Dexter ever was.
Within an hour after both executives
spoke, NBC showed reporters at a news
conference highlights of its show
Revolution that included a swordght,
a standoff between two men with guns, a
bloodied man, a building blown up with
a ying body and a gunght.
Later clips of the upcoming series
Deception featured several shots of a
bloodied, dead body.
NBC also is developing a drama,
Hannibal, based on one of ctions
most indelible serial killers, Hannibal
Lecter. An airtime for the show hasnt
been scheduled, but it could come this
spring or summer.
Salke said there is more violence in
Foxs upcoming drama The
Following, also about a serial killer,
than there will be in Hannibal. Much
of the violence in the upcoming NBC
show, created by former Heroes pro-
ducer Bryan Fuller, is implied and not
gratuitous.
We respect the talent and like what
he is doing, so we are standing behind
him, Salke said. She said theres been a
spate of programs about creepy killers
because theyve been such indelible
characters.
Greenblatt said he wasnt trying to be
glib, but one of the best tonics for people
upset about real-life violence is to watch
an episode of NBCs Parenthood. He
said its a great example of a family that
loves each other and grapples with many
issues.
Ultimately, I think you feel good at
the end of the day, he said.
Michael J. Fox to play
newscaster in new NBC show
PASADENA On his upcoming
NBC comedy, Michael J. Fox will play a
newscaster who had quit his job due to
Parkinsons Disease but returns to work
in the shows rst episode because a new
medical regimen has helped him control
many of the diseases symptoms.
It mirrors the life of the former
Family Ties and Spin City star, who
said last year that drugs have helped
minimize the physical tics of
Parkinsons and have enabled him to
take on more acting jobs.
The yet-to-be-named sitcom is a key
piece of NBCs strategy to build upon a
revival that has brought the network
back from many years in the ratings
wilderness. Show like The Voice and
Revolution have made NBC the only
one of the four biggest networks to gain
in viewership over last season.

T
he Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-
day Saints was established by Joseph
Smith Jr. on April 6, 1830 in Western
New York. Smith had plans to establish a New
Jerusalem in North America, called Zion.
After moving to Missouri to establish an out-
post that would eventually be the church head-
quarters, Missouri settlers brutally expelled
the Latter-day Saints from Jackson County,
Mo. They moved to Kirkland and built the
Kirkland Temple. After a nancial scandal,
the group, in 1838, again moved to Far West,
Mo. but again tension escalated and the group
was ordered out of the state by the governor.
In 1839, the group settled on and improved an
area of swampland along the Mississippi
River and called it Nauvoo, Ill. Here the group
prospered again but their practice of plural
marriages angered the neighbors and, on June
27, 1844, Joseph Smith and his brother
Hyrum were murdered by a mob in Carthage,
Mo. Brigham Young assumed leadership. The
differences of religion in the community again
forced the Latter-day Saints to plan for a move
to west of the Missouri River to the Rocky
Mountains or further west.
It was at this time that Samuel Brannan
(March 2, 1819-May 4, 1889) was authorized
to take a group of Mormons to California and
establish a city and a country called new Zion.
Brannan had learned the printers trade while
living in Ohio. He also joined the LDS Church
and went to New York and began printing the
LDS newspaper called The Prophet. Brannan
was to take 245 other LDSers and sail on the
ship Brooklyn to Upper California and estab-
lish a community for the Latter-day Saints.
Brannan had an antiquated our mill and a
printing press on board. On July 31, 1846, the
group landed at Yerba Buena and increased
the population by a factor of three.
Brannan was the ideal person to have been
sent to the wild, undeveloped West in 1846.
He was a born leader, loud of voice, forceful
in persuading people to do things, eager for
adventure and hungry for success. He was,
however, disappointed that he had gotten to
California too late for the establishment of the
new country, Zion, and his plans were imme-
diately changed. He saw opportunity in the
small pueblo and he immediately set up the
second press in California, the California Star.
Now he could lead and inuence people in the
guise of being an editor. In 1848, he merged
with the only other newspaper, The
Californian. Now, he controlled all of the
voices of the press. Everything needed to be
done so he opened the first school in
California, followed by the purchases of land.

Aragon grad plays
in Anything Goes
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Looking back, it kind of makes sense that
Kristie Kerwin found herself wanting to be
on stage.
The Brisbane native grew up a competitive
ice skater who attended Aragon High School
in San Mateo to better fit her practice sched-
ule. She was getting up at 4:30 a.m., going to
practice at Belmont Iceland and then barely
making it to school in time. While at Aragon,
she tried acting.
The year before, Kerwin actually had
watched her older sister perform in the San
Mateo High School production of Gypsy.
Then she wanted to get into it herself. Today,
Kerwin is part of the ensemble, and also
serves as an understudy to the leads, in
Anything Goes, which opens in San
Francisco Tuesday, Jan. 8. The rewrite of the
1934 musical comedy about the lovers, liars
and clowns on a transatlantic cruise follows
how two unlikely pairs set off on a course for
love which can only be successful if it
includes a crew or singing sailors, disguises
and old-fashioned blackmail.
Before becoming part of the show, Kerwin
had a lot to learn.
She took opportunities to get involved in
the theater at Aragon. But when it came time
for college, Kerwin was-
nt completely sure of her
future. She enrolled at the
University of California
at Davis and found herself
attracted to performance-
related classes. Shed
often took dance and
singing growing up, but it
wasnt until college that
she put it all together.
She transferred to New York University for
the second semester of her sophomore year
and ended up earning a bachelors in theater.
Kerwin wanted to earn her degree so she did-
nt really try her hand at professional work
until after graduation. Since then, shes been
lucky to land a number of opportunities like
White Christmas in 2004, which brought
her back to the Bay Area twice. Kerwin also
performed in South Pacific another per-
formance that brought her back to the Bay
Area in 2009.
Anything Goes originally opened in
Cleveland in October. The crew will be trav-
eling today then open by tomorrow night.
Quick changes of venue arent too difficult
as the stage remains the stage. What can get
tricky is the changes backstage, said Kerwin.
Its so much fun, a great escape, Kerwin
said of the show, adding it will lift the spirits
of anyone who goes.
Anything Goes performances will be
held Jan. 8 through Feb. 3 at the SHN
Golden Gate Theatre, 1 Taylor St., San
Francisco. Performances will be 8 p.m.
Tuesdays to Saturdays and 2 p.m.
Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets
range from $42 to $88, depending on the
night and section. For more information or

STATE/LOCAL
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO Democratic
lawmakers are starting the new year
with a tail wind they havent had in
130 years supermajorities in
both houses of the Legislature.
They also will be working with a
governor of the same political
party, a combination that means
they can unilaterally increase taxes,
pass emergency legislation and put
constitutional amendments before
voters.
As the legislative session opens
Monday, Democrats lengthy agen-
da includes state environmental
laws, K-12 and higher education
funding, and making sure
California is prepared for federal
health care reforms. No longer can
Democrats blame minority
Republicans for blocking their pri-
orities.
We have no more excuses, said
state Sen. Michael Rubio of
Bakersfield, a Democrat who is
leading what promises to be a spir-
ited debate over tweaking the
states pioneering environmental
protection laws. The debate
changes because the answers are
within our caucus.
Gov. Jerry Brown will set the
stage on Thursday when he plans to
release his proposed budget for the
scal year that begins
July 1. California
is on better
financial foot-
ing than at any
time since the
r e c e s s i o n
began after
v o t e r s
a p p r o v e d
B r o w n s
Proposition 30,
which will raise
an estimated $6
billion a year from
temporary tax
increases.
The states
nonpar t i s an
budget analyst projects a decit of
less than $2 billion through the next
scal year and the possibility of
surpluses after that.
The relatively rosy outlook after
years of multibillion dollar decits
will let Brown call for changing the
way the state provides money to
schools. He is expected to propose
sending more money to poorer
districts and to programs for
students learning English as
a second language, while
giving local districts
more spending exibili-
ty.
He also is expected
to call a special leg-
islative session to
address administrative
changes required to
fully implement the
national Affordable
Care Act.
D i a n a
Dooley, secretary of the state
Health and Human Services
Agency, said the special session is
needed to ensure California law
conforms to the federal health care
law, and because of timing. Bills
enacted in special sessions take
effect in 90 days, while regular ses-
sion bills cannot take effect until the
following year.
Open enrollment on the
exchanges is scheduled to start in
October.
Dooley said legislation will be
needed to set eligibility rules for
Medi-Cal, the states program for the
poor, and to make sure Californias
rules for pre-existing medical condi-
tions comply with federal law.
Despite their supermajorities,
some Democratic say they want to
move cautiously, fearing a backlash
if they cant restrain the most liber-
al members of their party.
Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-
Los Angeles, has said he sees little
change in direction.
But Senate President Pro Tem
Darrell Steinberg of Sacramento
already has embraced proposals by
two Senate Democrats to tinker with
Proposition 13, the landmark 1978
property tax initiative, which also
increased the number of votes need-
ed to pass local tax increases.
Democratic Sens. Mark Leno of
San Francisco and Lois Wolk of
Davis want lawmakers to put consti-
tutional amendments before voters
that would lower the vote threshold
to raise taxes for school districts and
some other local governments from
the current two-thirds to 55 percent.
Meanwhile, Assemblyman Tom
Ammiano of San Francisco is pro-
posing a change that would require
businesses to pay higher property
taxes.
Steinberg also is working with
Rubio to hash out changes to the
California Environmental Quality
Act. They, and Brown, say the four-
decade-old law provides valuable
protections but has been used to
unduly delay worthwhile projects,
costing California jobs.
Schools, tax changes on states agenda
SAN FRANCISCO The latest
winter storm to move into
California brought some odd weath-
er to the region, including thunder-
storms in Northern California and
snow in the mountains of Southern
California, forecasters said.
Thunderstorms were in the fore-
cast Sunday for the San Mateo and
Monterey County coasts, with light-
ning strikes reported early Sunday,
the National Weather Service
reported Sunday.
Snow was also expected in some
of the higher elevations of the Santa
Lucia Mountains, a mountain range
that runs from Monterey County
south to San Luis Obispo.
In Southern California, the storm
dropped snow as low as 3,500 feet
early Sunday, and winds with gusts
topping out at 50 mph were expect-
ed in some mountain areas and in
the foothills of the San Gabriel
Valley.
The storm could dump up to four
inches of snow before moving out
Southern California Monday morn-
ing, forecasters said.
Along the beaches, ofcials were
warning about dangerous rip cur-
rents and waves as high as 15 feet
from Big Sur south to Point
Conception in Santa Barbara
County.
A high surf advisory was in effect
through Monday night for the area.
In the Sierra Nevada, forecasters
said snow showers were expected
throughout Sunday, with the heavi-
est snow falling in Mono County,
where up to ve inches was expect-
ed to accumulate.
Near Lake Tahoe, ski resorts in
the area were expected see about
two inches of new snow, on top of
the one or two inches of snow that
fell Saturday and early Sunday.
Officials said Sunday that tire
chains were required on all vehicles
except four-wheel drives on
Highway 50 over Echo Summit and
on Highway 88 over Carson Pass.
Tire chains or snow tires were
also required on a 75-mile section of
Highway 395 along the eastern
Sierra between Bridgeport and
Carson City, Nev.
Storm brings odd weather
OAKLAND A hard-line stance
by the federal government on med-
ical marijuana dispensaries and the
reluctance of landlords to rent out
their space is being blamed for a
delay in the opening of new dispen-
saries after Oakland ofcials permit-
ted the establishment of four new
medical marijuana facilities.
Nearly a year after ofcials gave
approval for the four dispensaries,
only one has opened, a newspaper
reported Saturday.
After federal prosecutors moved
to seize the property occupied by
Harborside Health Center dispensa-
ry, landlords became less willing to
rent to marijuana dispensaries, city
leaders and medical marijuana
advocates told the newspaper.
In July, federal agents taped a for-
feiture notice on the front door of
the property rented by the dispensa-
ry. That case is still pending, and
Harborside remains in business.
Ever since the U.S. attorney
took their hard-line stance on prop-
erty owners, property owners have
been hesitant to lease space, said
Arturo Sanchez, the deputy city
administrator who oversees the
citys permitting process for mari-
juana dispensaries. That was com-
plicated further after the forfeiture
action by the U.S. attorney against
Harborside.
Openings of medical marijuana
dispensaries delayed in Oakland
NATION/LOCAL 7
Brannan had been authorized by the church to collect tithes so
he went to Sutters Fort when he found out that gold had been
discovered there to collect tithes for the Mormon men. This
was before the amount of gold that was on the ground was not
believed by the country but Brannan, a newspaperman, now
found out the truth. He started a store at Sutters Fort and the
gold owed into his palm by the bucket full.
After returning to San Francisco, Brannan is credited with
awakening up the public to the gold strike on the American
River. He walked down the main street one day and held up a
vial of gold dust and shouted GOLD, GOLD, GOLD in
California. The gold rush was on. Before the day was over,
almost every able man had dropped everything and took off for
sacrament. Ships in the Bay lost their crews, and sailors jumped
ship almost before the ship was anchored. Monterey became
deserted and all of the shovels, pants, shoes were sold at exor-
bitant prices.
Brannan is credited as being the rst millionaire from the
gold strike in California. He was elected to the rst town coun-
cil of San Francisco in the new U.S. territory. He helped organ-
ize the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance (which was a de
facto police force). He built the Napa Valley Railroad for the
resort he build and called the town Calistoga. He founded the
Society of California Pioneers, developed banks and built the
rst famous Cliff House on the Pacic Ocean.
In 1872, his wife, Anna Eliza Corwin, divorced Brannan.
Because Brannan had most of his money tied up in land, both
around San Francisco and Los Angeles County, the settlement
with his wife bankrupted him.
Following his divorce, he began drinking to excess, eventu-
ally returning to a small ranch near the Mexican border. Land
speculation with the Mexican government produced enough
money to pay off his debts but not enough to bury him when he
died in 1889.
Rediscovering the Peninsula by Darold Fredricks appears in the
Monday edition of the Daily Journal.

HISTORY
By Anne Flaherty
WASHINGTON Congressional
leaders on Sunday showed no signs
of emerging from their corners to
resolve the next step in the nancial
crisis, with Democrats still talking
about higher taxes on the wealthy and
the Senates top Republican suggest-
ing that a crippling default on U.S.
loans was possible unless there were
signicant cuts in government spend-
ing.
Its a shame we have to use what-
ever leverage we have in Congress to
get the president to deal with the
biggest problem confronting our
future, and thats our excessive
spending, said Sen. Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky.
Last weeks deal to avert the com-
bination of end-of-year tax increases
and spending cuts known as the s-
cal cliff held income tax rates steady
for 99 percent of Americans but left
some other major pieces of business
unresolved.
By late February or early March,
the Treasury Department will run out
of options to cover the nations debts
and could begin defaulting on gov-
ernment loans unless Congress raises
the legal borrowing limit, or debt
ceiling. Economists warn that a
default could trigger a global reces-
sion.
Also looming are deep automatic
spending cuts expected to take effect
at the beginning of March that could
further erase fragile gains in the U.S.
economy. Then on March 27, the
temporary measure that funds gov-
ernment activities expires, and con-
gressional approval will be needed to
keep the government running. Its
one more chance to ght over spend-
ing
Lawmakers said debt talks will
consume Congress in the coming
weeks, likely delaying any considera-
tion of an expected White House pro-
posal on gun
restrictions in the
wake of the
Co n n e c t i c u t
school shooting.
Republ i cans
say they are will-
ing to raise the
debt ceiling but
insist any
increase must be
paired with signicant savings from
Medicare, Medicaid and other gov-
ernment benet programs. President
Barack Obama has said hes willing
to consider spending cuts separately
but wont bargain over the govern-
ments borrowing authority.
One thing I will not compromise
over is whether or not Congress
should pay the tab for a bill theyve
already racked up, Obama said in
his weekly radio and Internet
address.
Democrats said further tax increas-
es for the wealthiest Americans were
still possible as Congress looks to
close the gap between revenues and
expenditures. Democrats point out
that Obama has already agreed to sig-
nicant spending cuts, and that the
latest deal only gets the nation to
about half of the revenue it needs to
resolve the red ink.
Trust me, there are plenty of
things within that tax code these
loopholes where people can park
their money in some island offshore
and not pay taxes. These are things
that need to be closed. We can do that
and use the money to reduce the
decit, said Illinois Sen. Dick
Durbin, the second-ranking Senate
Democrat.
House Democratic leader Nancy
Pelosi of California said she, too,
wants to put everything on the table
from the standpoint of closing loop-
holes.
But McConnell bluntly declared
that the tax issue is over after last
weeks agreement.
We dont have this problem
because we tax too little; we have it
because we spend too much,
McConnell said.
Making the rounds on the Sunday
talk shows, McConnell was asked
repeatedly whether Republicans were
prepared to see the nation default on
its spending obligations. McConnell
said that wouldnt be necessary, so
long as Obama agrees to the spend-
ing cuts.
But at one point, when asked by
NBCs David Gregory whether the
GOP strategy will be to hold the debt
ceiling ransom in exchange for
spending cuts, McConnell said it was
a shame we have to use whatever
leverage we have to get the presi-
dents attention.
None of us like using situations
like the sequester (automatic across-
the-board spending cuts) or the debt
ceiling or the operation of govern-
ment to try to engage the president
to deal with this, McConnell said.
Lawmakers dig in heels on debt crisis
Barack Obama
Hagel is Obamas likely
pick to lead Pentagon
WASHINGTON Former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel is a
contrarian Republican moderate and decorated Vietnam combat
veteran who is likely to support a more rapid withdrawal of
U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
As President Barack Obamas likely nominee for defense
secretary, Hagel has another credential important to the presi-
dent: a personal relationship with Obama, forged when they
were in the Senate and strengthened during overseas trips they
took together.
Hagel, 66, has for weeks been the front-runner for the
Pentagons top job, four years after leaving behind a Senate
career in which he carved out a reputation as an independent
thinker and blunt speaker. An announcement on his nomination
was expected Monday.
I do think Obamas done a good job overall. There are a lot
of things I dont agree with him on; he knows it, Hagel told the
foreign policy website Al-Monitor last March.

OPINION 9
Horsleys promises
Editor,
I was shocked to read in a letter pub-
lished in the Jan. 3 edition of the Daily
Journal that County Supervisor Don
Horsley has broken his pledge to voters
that he would not draw supervisor pay.
His cynical double-dipping should be
widely announced. He is already draw-
ing over $200,000 annually from a
county pension, plus health care and
other benets, paid by county residents.
I guess that wasnt enough.
He and others on the board will con-
tinue to raise taxes or cut services to
county residents, rather than confront
existing county employees pay, bene-
ts and pensions; average employee
pay exceeds $100,000 annually, plus
benets and pension. This accounts for
about 70 percent of the countys annual
budget. Reducing benets for future
employees does not really address the
problem.
Jerry Terstiege
Foster City
FDR
Editor,
In his letter published in the Jan. 4
edition of the Daily Journal, Mr. Robert
Parkhurst says that, while President
Franklin D. Roosevelt did some good
things, anyone who calls him a hero
must be very old or very young. I am
neither, and I am surprised that no
mention was made of his pivotal and
heroic role in the greatest peril this
country has ever faced in the Axis of
Japan, Germany and Italy, which was
on a mission to enslave the world.
I understand that, while Mr.
Parkhurst may not be Jewish, homosex-
ual, gypsy or have developmental dis-
abilities, all those who were would
have been slated for, well, lets call it
like it really was enslavement, tor-
ture and execution.
President Roosevelts stalwart leader-
ship of our nation was an inspiration to
the entire country, and he should right-
ly be called a hero, not just by this
country, but by the entire free world. I
guess that little thing called World War
II doesnt gure into the letter writers
equation. Remind me not to ask for his-
torical perspectives from him. If
President Roosevelt had done nothing
else, his leadership during this extreme
crisis proves hes an American hero for
all time.

Letters to the editor
Guest perspective
By Alicia Petrakis
I
write in support of Mr. Tim
Drapers plans for Draper
University. Astaria has been locat-
ed on Third Avenue for more than nine
years. During this time, there has been
little change in the west side of down-
town. The current use proposed by Mr.
Draper is an amazing opportunity for
San Mateo and specically downtown.
It is a game-changer.
Many communities around the coun-
try spend hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars a year in economic development in
the hopes of attracting a tenant/stake-
holder of this magnitude for their
community. Mr. Draper has invested
millions in real estate with the hopes of
creating a cutting-edge educational
opportunity for creative entrepreneur-
ial minds. The ability to attract some
of the brightest young people to our
community and possibly keep them
local is a gift that will keep on giving
and should not be dismissed. These
young people will create movement and
energy that we are desperately missing.
We understand peoples concerns
about the change in use (from a hotel to
a school) and the replacement of retail
with the Entrepreneurs Club. We tried
for more than four years to nd a hotel
operator for the Benjamin Franklin;
including assembling a team to develop
the project ourselves. If the Benjamin
Franklin was ever going to be a hotel
again, it would have been one by now.
In the last nine years, it has been toured
by every boutique hotelier from San
Francisco to Los Angeles as well as
many nationally know hotel rms. We
cannot sit by holding on to the past and
continue to compromise our future.
I have heard from
many community
members that
downtown is just
ne. These people
do not live or oper-
ate businesses in
downtown and many
of them are shopping
elsewhere. If they
were shopping downtown, retailers
would know that and be attracted to our
downtown vacancies. As a business
owner, I can say to you that downtown
is not ne and, if it were, why would
we settle for ne?
We know that this is not the case.
One of the main reasons we have not
been able to attract decent retailers is
that we are lacking foot trafc down-
town. This use could ultimately help
attract new retailers that appeal to a
younger demographic. We have not had
a proper tenant mix for decades
because the majority of San Mateo resi-
dents shop at Hillsdale Shopping
Center or Burlingame Avenue. These
two locations house much of the known
retailers, making it impossible for any
of them to locate to downtown even if
the space and conguration were per-
fect.
The proposed use, albeit a stretch
based on the current ordinance, will
have secondary and tertiary benets.
New businesses will come into the area
because of the dynamic nature of the
school and Entrepreneurs Club.
Retailers will also be attracted because
the goods and services they sell appeal
to this genre.
Please think about the retail (and
empty lots) that have been and remain
vacant in downtown, not just Third
Avenue. There are tens of thousands of
square feet available. If downtown was
attractive to retailers, we would not
have the vacancy rate or the length of
vacancies that we do.
A few things I have learned from my
seventh grader that are worth considera-
tion. If you dont adapt, you will even-
tually die. This is true for animals, peo-
ple and communities and if we continue
to use the past as a measurement for
our decisions, rather than the ever-
changing future, we will die as well.
Also, young people who started kinder-
garten the same year he did will have
11 careers, seven of which have not
been invented yet; very different from
my generation which were projected to
have three careers.
Lets build a community for these
amazing young minds who do not have
the limitations we did as kids. There are
opportunities greater than we can even
calculate at this time because Mr.
Draper and his team have the ability to
see the future. That has been their busi-
ness for over 25 years.
The denition of vision is the act or
power of anticipating that which will or
may come to be. Prophetic vision is
that of an entrepreneur.
Thank you in advance for your con-
sideration and thoughtful approach
toward the approval of this project. It is
potentially the greatest opportunity our
downtown has seen or will see for
many years.

Arne Croce local
government sage
A
rne Croce worked his magic in San Mateo for 18
years as city manager. After retiring in 2008, he
joined a San Jose consulting firm and was sent
to Iraq, then Kosovo, to mentor politicians on local gov-
ernment. In 2011, he was hired by Bell, Calif. as the
interim chief administrative officer to bring order and
clean up the corruption which had destroyed the city.
During his tenure in San Mateo, he was viewed as one of
the most respected city managers in California. And he
mentored two outstanding assistants, former Burlingame
city manager Jim Nantell
and current San Mateo City
Manager Susan Loftus.
Now after several years
of being a local govern-
ment sage and allowing
time for a years travel
around the world and a
recent long vacation in
England, Croce has
returned home where he is
researching family history
and contemplating a future
book. Home and being with
wife Carol is a high priori-
ty after so many long
absences.
Its hard to believe Croce will retire for an extended
time. At 61, hes young enough to have another career.
His professional skills and resume still make him a hot
prospect. At one time, he was talked about as a possible
county manager for San Mateo County but he wasnt
interested. He told me he might consider an interim city
manager job but right now he is focused on family histo-
ry.
***
And what a history. Croces mother was Norwegian
(hence the name Arne). His dad, Italian (hence the name
Croce). It was a mixture of fire and ice. His dad ran a
caf bar in Santa Cruz but died suddenly when Croce was
in high school. The loss was traumatic for the young stu-
dent and his grades and interest in studies suffered. He
attended Cabrillo Community College, became serious,
and was admitted to the University of California for his
junior and senior years. From there, he was hired by the
then dean of city managers, Ted Graeber, for a job in
Visalia. He became the Los Altos city manager in 1984,
and was recruited by San Mateo in 1990.
Croces maternal grandfather immigrated from Norway
to the United States in 1867. He became involved in radi-
cal politics and was deeply involved in the socialist labor
party. Later in life, he and his family joined a commune.
***
What did Croce learn from his experience in Iraq where
he worked in Kurdistan and Baghdad and from his three
months in Kosovo? Democracy is difficult to develop if
you dont have the history, he said. When you are used to
a top-down government without participation of citizens,
you just cant graft democracy.
The United States, on the other hand, started out with
strong local governments determined not to let a central
government intrude. That has given us a tradition which is
unique and special. And not easy to export.
As for Bell, a city which was called corruption on
steroids under the leadership of its former city manager
Robert Rizzo, it lacked the essentials for a viable local
government. In 2010, the Los Angeles Times exposed the
high salaries and illegal loans of city manager Rizzo, the
assistant city manager, the mayor, three councilmembers
and two former councilmembers. The eight officials have
been arrested and are awaiting trial. Rizzo made almost
$800,000 a year in the small, low-income community in
east Los Angeles. How were they able to get away with
this for so long? What about the local press? It didnt
cover city business. What about members of the public?
Croce explained that Rizzo ran a closed shop. He had
eliminated all boards and commissions. There were no
service clubs in town like the League of Women Voters or
Rotary, no AYSO clubs since the city ran all local recre-
ation programs. There was no professional development
for staff. No investment in infrastructure. Croce found
that the carpet in city hall hadnt been cleaned for
decades. Even worse than the misappropriated funds was
the dismantling of a government structure. It will take a
long time for them to recover, he said.
***
So Arne Croce is looking forward to a new phase in life
which involves little or no traveling. He and Carol, who is
the new president of Friends of Filoli, do not plan another
trip around the world. After visiting 22 countries, flying
on 45 airplanes and sleeping in more than 100 beds, its
time to enjoy being a house husband. If his research goes
public, it will be quite a book.

BUSINESS 10
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK When lawmak-
ers delivered a long-delayed, last-
minute agreement on the budget,
Wall Street celebrated. And it would
be easy to think that the surge in the
Dow the following day meant that
investors had put their concerns
about Washingtons political grid-
lock behind them.
The Dow Jones industrial average
surged on the news, but that doesnt
mean the volatility is over. In fact,
there could be more turmoil in the
market soon because decisions on
cutting the federal budget decit
have been put off until March, when
the government will reach its bor-
rowing limit. Republicans have
already said they will demand cuts
to spending as a condition for
extending the limit.
The uncertainty is still there, the
key issues are spending cuts and
entitlement reforms and, for the
most part, those were not
addressed, says Terry Sandven,
chief equities strategist at U.S. Bank
Wealth Management. This sets the
stage for sharper rhetoric and
increased market volatility as these
discussions evolve.
The last time lawmakers tussled
over the debt limit, the stock market
plunged and the U.S. government
lost its AAA debt rating. The Dow
fell almost 7 percent in the two
weeks before an agreement was
reached Aug. 3, 2011.
Reforms
Many business leaders objected to
the agreement lawmakers reached
late Tuesday. The Business
Roundtable, an association of chief
executive ofcers of leading U.S.
companies, said that although it
addressed some of the immediate
negative consequences that the econ-
omy would have faced going over the
scal cliff, it failed to address the
serious and fundamental reforms
the economy needs. The National
Retail Federation said that the deal
was welcome, though it was only the
rst step in necessary tax reform.
Companies are likely to remain
wary of investing until they get
more clarity from Washington, says
Joe Heider, a principal at Rehmann
Financial in Cleveland, Ohio. He
likens the current U.S. business cli-
mate to a sporting event where the
referees tell the players to take the
eld before telling them that the
rules of the game will only be
decided on once the nal whistle
has been blown.
Washington needs to get out of
the way of the nancial markets and
American business, said Heider.
They need to create some certainty
over how businesses should best
deploy all the cash that theyre sit-
ting on.
And corporations are sitting on a
lot of cash. Companies have been
steadily building up their reserves
over the last ve years and are now
sitting on record cash piles. By the
end of the third quarter of last year,
S&P 500 companies had accumulat-
ed more than $1 trillion in cash,
according to data from S&P Dow
Jones Indices.
At least for now, companies are
unlikely to invest much of that
money back into their businesses
simply because demand just isnt
strong enough, says U.S. Banks
Sandven. Instead they will spend it
on acquisitions, stock buy-backs
and pay higher dividends. Those are
all actions that should boost stock
prices in the near term, despite the
ongoing uncertainty and increased
volatility that will be caused by
political wrangling.
Investors should take advantage
of any volatility in the market creat-
ed by the political wrangling to seek
out stocks that have a history of
growing their dividends, says
Sandven. He estimates that half of
the stocks in the S&P 500 have a
dividend yield that is higher than
the current 10-year U.S. Treasury
note. The 10-year Treasury note was
at 1.90 percent Friday.
Emerging markets
He also recommends that
investors buy the stocks of compa-
nies that have exposure to emerging
markets that have a growing middle
class and dont have the same debt
issues as the U.S.
Joseph Tanious, a global markets
strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds, says
investors would be wise to remain
calm when the negotiations in
Washington around the debt ceiling
start to heat up this spring.
The stock market dropped sharply
in the weeks after the election Nov.
6 as investors worried that a divided
government wouldnt get a deal
done in time to meet a budget dead-
line by the end of the year, but it has
rebounded since then. The S&P 500
is now 2 percent higher than it was
on election day, even after falling by
as much as 5 percent in the two
weeks following the vote. On
Friday it closed at 1,466, the highest
since December 2007.
When push came to shove,
Congress did come together to
reach an agreement, says Tanious.
Many people were saying you
should be out of the market ... (that)
markets are going to capitulate, and
that didnt happen.
Stocks have rallied over the last
three years as investors remain opti-
mistic that the economy will main-
tain a slow, but steady, recovery
from recession, as the housing mar-
ket improves and as the outlook for
jobs gets better.
And while investors also see the
wisdom in addressing the nations
long-term debt problems, they point
out that businesses and consumers
have been aggressively paying
down their own debts in the after-
math of the 2008 nancial crisis.
That leaves more exibility for peo-
ple and companies to shop, invest,
and spend money, helping to lift the
economy and the stock market
even if Washingtons political
dysfunction worsens.
Cheers for cliff deal but only for now
By Wilson Ring
SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt.
Plans on where to base the U.S. mili-
tarys next-generation ghter jet, the
F-35, concern people in communities
from California to Florida to Maine
who worry the aircraft are too loud.
In Vermont, where the Air
National Guard has own planes
from Burlington International
Airport for more than 60 years,
opponents are especially vocal. But
in other communities, even some
long accustomed to the roar of mili-
tary aircraft, the noise of the F-35
has been an issue.
South Burlington City Council
President Rosanne Greco, a retired
Air Force ofcer, said she favored
bringing the F-35 to her community
until she read the draft environmental
impact statement released last spring.
The F-35s will have incredibly
signicant negative impact on up to
10,000 people who will be unfortu-
nate enough to be in the noise con-
tour zone that the federal government
deems unsuitable for residential use,
Greco said. For me its become a
clear-cut analytical choice. The facts
say this is harmful to our environ-
ment.
The report, she said, considers
exposure to average aircraft noise
greater than 65 decibels (about the
sound of a vacuum cleaner about
three feet away) not considered suit-
able for residential use. Another sec-
tion discusses the potential long-term
health impacts of exposure to aircraft
noise.
The planes supporters say Greco
and others are cherry-picking infor-
mation from the report without pro-
viding its full context.
The Air Force already has chosen
where it will base the F-35s, also
known as the Joint Strike Fighter, for
training. The next step is to decide
where to base the rst operational
planes, those that would be ready for
war.
Vermont is the most vocal, but
Vermont is the preferred alternative
for the Guard unit,Air Force spokes-
woman Ann Stefanek said. But its
the not the only alternative.
Plans are to base 18 to 24 of the
new aircraft in South Burlington by
2020. The militarys nal decision on
the rst round of operational bases is
expected next spring.
How much louder the planes are
than other aircraft is debatable.
Opponents cite Air Force charts indi-
cating the F-35 can be at least twice
as loud as the F-16 now own out of
Vermont. Others say thats an unfair
comparison because measuring
sound involves everything from how
the planes are own to weather con-
ditions, the time of day and how long
people are exposed.
Vt. Air Guard hopes for jet, others fear noise

Fishermen look for help
with Sandy storm losses
By Wayne Parry
MIDDLETOWN, N.J. While Superstorm Sandy did high-
ly visible damage to homes, boardwalks and roads, it also wal-
loped the Northeastern shing industry, whose workers are hop-
ing for a small piece of any future disaster assistance that
Congress might approve.
The storm did millions of dollars worth of damage to docks,
sh processing plants and restaurants. But it also caused mil-
lions more in lost wages to boat employees who couldnt work
for two to three weeks, to truck drivers who had nothing to
transport, and to other assorted industries that service commer-
cial shing.
The $9.7 billion measure to fund the National Flood
Insurance program, passed by Congress on Friday, did not
include anything for the shing industry; a bill the Senate
passed in December would have allocated $150 million for that
purpose.
Some of the worst damage to sheries in the region occurred
at the Belford Seafood Cooperative on the Raritan Bay shoreline
in Middletown, where the pounding waves destroyed a 75-foot-
long dock, gutted a popular restaurant, and ripped away all ve
garage doors and parts of the exterior of ofce and storage
buildings. The co-ops manager, Joe Branin, estimates the dam-
age at close to $1 million.
We went three weeks before we were able to pack a sh,
said Branin, whose business was still without electricity in mid-
December. We lost almost all our equipment. It was three
weeks before anybody could do anything.
The restaurant, where diners could eat scallops and llets lit-
erally right off the boat, had provided $5,000 to $8,000 a week
in revenue that is now gone.
The co-op supported 50 families who either work directly for
it or in supporting roles. Many of those workers simply did
without a paycheck for weeks afterward.

WOMENS COLLEGE HOOPS: CAL AND STANFORD BOTH WIN ON SUNDAY >>> PAGE 15
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The beginning of the new mens
basketball season hasnt been kind
to Menlo College. But with their lat-
est performance, the Oaks are hop-
ing to capitalize on a little new
years momentum.
The Oaks will march into the start
of their 2012-13 California Pacic
Conference season on a high note,
as Menlo took home their second
straight double-digit victory by
defeating UC Santa Cruz 85-71
Saturday evening, in the Oaks nal
non-conference tilt of the year.
Menlo (4-11) nearly let an early
second half 10-point lead escape
them, as the Banana Slugs (5-11)
went on an 11-2 run to chop the
Oaks lead to 47-46 with 14:13 to
play, but Menlo kicked it into anoth-
er gear with a 20-4 run to put the
game out of reach.
Menlo took a 37-33 lead into the
break, thanks in large part to the 3-
point shooting of freshman David
Abbitan and junior Dante Miller.
The two mirrored each other, going
a perfect 3 for 3 from outside the
arch for nine rst half points each.
Junior Charles Barnes kicked off
the second half with ve straight
points to push the Oaks advantage
to nine, before a Keith Bowman free
throw at the 16:57 mark earned
Menlo their rst double digit lead of
the game.
Santa Cruz responded to the run
with an 11-2 spurt of their own,
thanks in large part to the play of
junior Trent Reeves who ended his
night with 19 points, tied for the
team lead with freshman Austin
Steadman.
But the Oaks took over by scoring
20 of the next 24 points, behind
another brilliant showing by junior
Keith Bowman who nished the
night with a game high 26 points
and 11 rebounds.
These past two games show that
we are ready for conference,
Bowman said via release. We
played a really tough non-confer-
ence schedule and it looks like its
paying off right now.
Menlo opens up their Cal Pac
slate with a trip to Redding and a
showdown with Simpson University

on ice
NEW YORK They walked into a
Manhattan hotel, knowing they were running
out of time to save their season.
After 16 hours of tense talks, the NHL and
its players nally achieved their elusive deal
early Sunday morning, nding a way to restart
a sport desperate to regain momentum and
boost its prominence.
Ending a bitter dispute that wiped out a
large part of the hockey season for the third
time in less than two decades, the league and
its union agreed to the framework of a 10-year
labor contract that will allow a delayed sched-
ule to start later this month.
On the 113th day of a management lockout
and ve days before the leagues deadline for
a deal, the bleary-eyed sides held a 6 a.m.
news conference to announce there will be a
season, after all.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and
union head Donald Fehr both appeared
drained, wearing sweaters and not neckties,
when they stood side by side at the hotel and
announced labor peace.
We have reached an agreement on the
framework of a new collective bargaining
agreement, the details of which need to be put
to paper, Bettman said. Weve got to dot a
lot of Is, cross a lot of Ts. Theres still a lot of
work to be done, but the basic framework of
the deal has been agreed upon.
Lawyers will spend the next few days draft-
ing a memorandum of agreement.
The stoppage led to the cancellation of at
least 480 games the exact length of the cur-
tailed schedule hasnt been determined
bringing the total of lost regular-season games
to a minimum 2,178 during three lockouts
under Bettman.
The agreement, which replaces the deal that
expired Sept. 15, must be ratied by the 30
team owners and approximately 740 players.
Hopefully, within just a very few days, the
fans can get back to watching people who are
skating, and not the two of us, Fehr said.
Fehr became executive director of the NHL
Players Association in December 2010 after
leading baseball players through two strikes
and a lockout.

MIAMI Sometimes, the buildup to a
game can overwhelm what actually happens
on the eld.
Certainly, No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2
Alabama would have to play nothing less than
a classic to live up to all the hype for Monday
nights BCS championship.
Before either team stepped on the eld in
balmy South Florida, this was shaping up as
one of the most anticipated games in years, a
throwback to the era when Keith Jackson &
Co. called one game a week, when it was a big
deal for teams from different parts of the
country to meet in a bowl game, when every-
one took sides based on where they happened
to live.
North vs. South. Rockne vs. Bear. Rudy vs.
Forrest Gump.
The Fighting Irish vs. the Crimson Tide.
College footballs two most storied pro-
grams, gloried in movie and song, facing off
for the biggest prize.
Its denitely not any other game, said
Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley.
For the Crimson Tide (12-1), this is a
chance to be remembered as a full-edged
dynasty. Alabama will be trying to claim its
third national championship in four years and
become the rst school to win back-to-back
BCS titles, a remarkable achievement given
the ever-increasing parity of the college game
and having to replace ve players from last
years title team who were picked in the rst
two rounds of the NFL draft.
To be honest, I think this team has kind of
exceeded expectations, coach Nick Saban
said Sunday. If you look at all the players we
lost last year, the leadership that we lost ... Im

No luck for Colts as Ravens win
By Barry Wilner
BALTIMORE The Baltimore
Ravens wanted one long nal ride
for Ray Lewis.
They also wanted Denver. They
got it.
Having disposed of Andrew Luck
and the Indianapolis Colts, they now
face a far more imposing challenge
Peyton Manning and the streak-
ing Broncos.
Anquan Boldin set a franchise
record with 145 yards receiving,
including the clinching touchdown
in the Ravens 24-9 victory Sunday
over the Colts in an AFC wild-card
game. The win delays star line-
backer Lewis retirement for at least
another week as Baltimore (11-6)
heads to top-seeded Denver (13-3)
next Saturday.
The Broncos beat the Ravens 34-
17 three weeks ago.
I wanted Denver, Boldin said,
because they beat us.
Well make it different.
And he wanted the Broncos
because it prolongs the Ravens pur-
suit of their rst NFL title since the
2000 season, when Lewis won the
rst of two Defensive Player of the
Year awards.
I came to Baltimore to win a
championship, Boldin added. We
all did.
Lewis, who made 13 tackles
Sunday, ended his last home game in
Baltimore at fullback, of all things,
for the nal kneel-down. He then
went into a short version of his
trademark dance before being
mobbed by teammates.
He followed with a victory lap, his
right arm, covered by a brace, held
high in salute to the fans after play-
ing for the rst time since tearing his
right triceps on Oct. 14 against
Dallas.

MENLO 73, SANTA CRUZ 67
No. 24 Menlo bounced back after a tough
76-72 loss to La Sierra Thursday night and
came through with a 73-67, back-bounce vic-
tory over NCAA DIII UC Santa Cruz in their
final tune up before California Pacific
Conference.
The Lady Oaks (13-3) led by as many as 12
with just over eight minutes to go, before a
late Banana Slugs charge knotted the score at
63-63 with 3:23 left.
Santa Cruz (10-5) ofcially captured the
momentum with a 7-0 run to deadlock the
score, but Menlo responded with six straight
of their own, before holding off the Slugs for
the six-point win.
Jolise Limcaco scored 11 points, Laurel
Donnenwirth racked up eight, but it was Carly
Tristaos game-high 20 points and ten
rebounds off the bench that really paved the
way.
Tristao helped pad the Lady Oaks lead with
ten in the rst half, and another ten over the
rst eleven minutes of the second period.
With the score tied at 63-63 and 1:56
remaining, Donnenwirth began the key 6-0
spurt with a go-ahead jumper. On the Slugs
next possession, Limcaco took over with a
steal and a bucket to push the Oaks lead to 67-
63. And then after a Santa Cruz miss on the
next trip down the court, Donnenwirth scored
again with another basket to extend Menlos
margin to 69-63.

MENLO 3, THE BISHOPS 3
The Menlo girls soccer team wrapped up
their two-day tour of La Jolla with a 3-3 draw
against The Bishops School on Saturday.
After being down 1-0 at half, the Knights
bounced back when freshman Elena Gray
scored with 12 minutes into the second half.
Five minutes later, junior Chandler Wickers
scored by intercepting a clearance ball and
capitalizing on the Bishops mistake.
The Bishops tied the score at 2-2, but then
Menlo scored its third goal with a long free
kick as Lindsay Karle and Emma LaPorte
combined for the tally with 13 minutes left in
the game.
The Bishops tied the game with ve min-
utes remaining in the game.

Players conceded early on in talks, which
began in June, that they would accept a small-
er percentage of revenue, and the negotiations
were about how much lower.
It was a battle, said Winnipeg Jets
defenseman Ron Hainsey, a key member of
the unions bargaining team. Players obvi-
ously would rather not have been here, but our
focus now is to give the fans whatever it is
48 games, 50 games the most exciting sea-
son we can.
With much of the money from its $2 billion,
10-year contract with NBC back loaded
toward the Stanley Cup playoffs in the spring
and now perhaps early summer the
league preferred to time the dispute for the
start of the season in the fall. Management
made its decision knowing regular-season
attendance rose from 16,534 in 2003-04 to
16,954 in 2005-06 and only seven teams
experienced substantial drops.
Flyers chairman Ed Snider told The
Associated Press he was glad a partial sched-
ule had been salvaged.
Im thrilled for our fans, Im thrilled for all
of our people that work around our sport that
have been hurt by this, he said. Im thrilled
for the players, for the owners. Im just sorry
it had to take this long. The great thing is, we
dont have to look at it for hopefully 10 years,
or at worst eight, and thats good stuff.
Still, the lockout could wipe out perhaps $1
billion in revenue this season, given about 40
percent of the regular-season schedule wont
be played. And while the stoppage was major
news in Canada, it was an afterthought for
many American sports fans.
They could have gotten here a lot sooner,
said Marc Ganis, president of Chicago-based
sports business consulting rm Sportscorp
Ltd. They didnt hear a hue and cry from the
fans, especially in the United States, when
hockey wasnt played. Thats very distressing.
That indicates theres a level of apathy that is
troubling. In contrast, in the NFL when there
was a threat of canceling a preseason week-
end, the nation was up in arms.
At downtown Detroits Rub BBQ Pub,
manager Chris Eid said he was ecstatic
when he heard the news. He said the settle-
ment was a big topic of conversation among
his afternoon customers.
Everyone misses hockey, Eid said.
Hockeys rst labor dispute was an 11-day
strike in 1992 that led to 30 games being post-
poned. Bettman, a former NBA executive
under David Stern, became the NHL commis-
sioner in February 1993.
NHL
was planned, the 37-year-old Lewis said. Its
one of those things, when you recap it all and try
to say what is one of your greatest moments.
I knew how it started but I never knew how
it would end here in Baltimore. To go the way
it did today, I wouldnt change nothing.
He would like nothing more than to change
past results against Manning, who was 2-0 in
the postseason against Baltimore while with
the Colts.
Its on to the next one, the 17-year veter-
an said. We saw them earlier in the year and
now we get them back again, but with all of
our guns back.
The loss ended the Colts turnaround season
in which they went from 2-14 to the playoffs
in coach Chuck Paganos first year in
Indianapolis (11-6). Pagano missed 12 weeks
while undergoing treatment for leukemia and
returned last week.
He was upbeat following the defeat to the team
he served as an assistant coach for four years.
The foundation is set, and we said we were
going to build one on rock and not on sand,
Pagano said. You weather storms like this
and you learn from times like this.
Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, who
went 9-3 as interim coach, was absent Sunday
after being hospitalized with an undisclosed
illness. Pagano said Arians is ne and
would stay overnight for observation before
rejoining the Colts on Monday.
Quarterback coach Clyde Christensen
called the plays, but Baltimores suddenly
revitalized defense inspired by Lewis
pending retirement, no doubt never let
standout rookie QB Luck get comfortable.
Its great making the playoffs, but you
cant make mistakes and expect to beat a play-
off team like we did, said Luck, who was
sacked three times, Paul Kruger getting 2 1/2
of those. Well have to look back at those and
hopefully x them.
Sundays victory enhanced the Ravens suc-
cess rate in opening playoff games. Flacco
now has won at least one postseason game in
all ve of his pro seasons, the only quarter-
back to do it in the Super Bowl era.
His main target Sunday was Boldin, who
had receptions of 50 and 46 yards, plus his 18-
yard TD on a oater from Flacco in the corner
of the end zone with 9:14 to go.
I told (Flacco) before the game I was going to
get 200 yards, Boldin said with a chuckle.
Its huge for us. Its huge for this city,
theyve supported us this entire year and they
expect a lot from us. In return, we want to
give it to them.

GREEN BAY, Wis. The San
Francisco 49ers can toss their lm
from the season opener against
Green Bay in the trash for as much
good as it will do now.
Cedric Benson is gone, and the
Packers running game is now pow-
ered by DuJuan Harris and Ryan
Grant neither of whom was on
the roster Dec. 1, let alone back in
September.
Randall Cobb, whose 75-yard
punt return gave the Packers a eet-
ing chance late in the 30-22 victory
by San Francisco, is now one of
Aaron Rodgers favorite receivers.
And a defense that may as well
have been holding rookie orienta-
tion for all its newcomers is now a
savvy, stingy bunch of veterans.
A lots happened, coach Mike
McCarthy said. Were a different
football team. Were a different
football team than we were four
weeks ago.
The Packers (12-5) play San
Francisco (11-4-1) Saturday night
in an NFC divisional game after
beating Minnesota in the wild-card
round. The 49ers are early 3-point
favorites.
San Francisco has had its share of
changes this season, too, the most
significant being coach Jim
Harbaughs decision to stick with
Colin Kaepernick after Alex Smith
recovered from his concussion.
But thats nothing compared with
the Packers, whove had so many
injuries and lineup changes that
defensive coordinator Dom Capers
was watching lm of the season
opener Sunday partly to remind
himself of who was and wasnt
on the eld back then.
More than a dozen starters or pro-
jected starters have missed a game
or more with an injury, including:
Charles Woodson, who played
Saturday for the rst time since
breaking his right collarbone Oct.
21; Greg Jennings, who missed
eight games with a torn muscle in
his groin; Clay Matthews and Jordy
Nelson, who missed four games
each with hamstring injuries; and
Benson, who played only five
games before a season-ending foot
injury.
Change has been the only con-
stant on the offensive line the sec-
ond half of the season, with the
Packers on their fth starting lineup.
Same in the secondary, where three
players started at right corner over
the last seven games.
That kind of upheaval would
doom most teams, but the Packers
have managed to thrive. Somewhere
amidst the chaos, they not only
found solutions, they found them-
selves.
Everybody starts the season and
has an idea and vision of who you
want to be, McCarthy said Sunday.
But the reality of it is, you go
through a 16-week season, theres a
lot of things happen. Theres obsta-
cles that you have to get through.
Theres injuries to different players,
players coming in, players going
out. I think all those things factor in
to who you really are and who you
think you are.
The biggest difference the 49ers
will see is in the running game.
Green Bay managed a measly 45
yards on the ground in the opener,
and Rodgers and Benson were the
only two ball carriers. Rodgers, not
Benson, led the Packers.
I dont think we had our identity
at that point, Rodgers said. We
were trying a lot of different
things.
The running game still wasnt
clicking when Benson got hurt, and
the Packers had only minimal suc-
cess with Alex Green and James
Starks.
It took the pint-sized Harris to
bring Green Bays offense into bal-
ance, a speedy and elusive back
whose surprising power gives
defenses fits. After cracking the
100-yard mark three times in the
rst eight games, the Packers have
done it in ve of the last seven.
(Harris has) done a good job and
he keeps getting better each week,
offensive coordinator Tom
Clements said. Hes an instinctive
runner. So more often than not, you
just let him run. You point out what
should be done, but he has the right
instincts and he usually makes
something good happen.
Defensively, the Packers may not
have as many takeaways as they did
last season, but theyre far more
consistent and arent likely to get
burned by the same thing twice. Or
three times in the case of Adrian
Peterson. After bulldozing Green
Bay for 409 yards in the rst two
games, Peterson was held to just 99
on Saturday night.
I think we can attack you in dif-
ferent ways, Capers said. I think
weve got more athletic ability on
our defense this year than we had. I
think these young guys have given
us more athletic ability, more speed,
more pass rush ability.
Green Bay nished the regular
season with 47 sacks, fourth-best in
the NFL, and had three more
Saturday night. It limited Minnesota
to 10 points, the eighth time in the
last 11 games the Packers have
allowed 20 points or fewer.
Weve established our brand of
football and thats what were tak-
ing to San Francisco, McCarthy
said. Were not going to sit here
and start making up things and try-
ing to chase ghosts and worrying
about schemes that are out there.
Were going to stay focused on the
things that we do.
We really like who we are as a
football team.
Packers different than team that lost to 49ers
By Joseph White
LANDOVER, Md. Russell
Wilson raced ahead to throw the
nal block on Marshawn Lynchs
go-ahead touchdown run, and the
Seattle Seahawks nally had a victo-
rious road show.
Robert Grifn IIIs knee buckled
as he tried to eld a bad shotgun
snap, leaving the Washington
Redskins an offseason to worry
about their franchise players health.
The last rookie quarterback stand-
ing in the NFL playoffs is Wilson
the third-round pick who teamed
with Lynch on Sunday to lead the
Seahawks to a 24-14 victory over
the Redskins.
Lynch ran for 131 yards, and
Wilson completed 15 of 26 passes for
187 yards and ran eight times for 67
yards for the Seahawks, who over-
came a 14-0 rst-quarter hole their
biggest decit of
the season
and will visit the
t o p - s e e d e d
Atlanta Falcons
next Sunday.
Seattle will be
riding a six-game
winning streak,
having left
behind any
doubts that the
team can hold its own outside the
Pacic Northwest. The Seahawks
were 3-5 on the road in the regular
season and had lost eight straight road
playoff games, the last win coming in
December 1983 against the Miami
Dolphins.
The day began with three rookie
quarterbacks in the playoffs, but No.
1 overall pick Andrew Luck was
eliminated when the Indianapolis
Colts lost 24-9 to the Baltimore
Ravens earlier in the day.
Lynchs 27-yard touchdown run
with 7:08 remaining and a 2-point
conversion gave the Seahawks a 21-
14 lead, and the play that essential-
ly put the outcome to rest came
shortly afterward.
On the second play of the Redskins
next possession, Grifns heavily
braced right knee buckled badly as he
tried to eld a bad shotgun snap on a
second-and-22 at Washingtons 12-
yard line. He lay on the ground,
unable to recover the ball as the
Seahawks pounced on it.
Grifn walked off the eld under
his own power, but the Redskins
announced he would not return.
After a few minutes, Grifn walked
back to the sideline and watched the
end of the game. The extent of the
injury was not immediately known.
Grifn was playing in his third
game since spraining his right knee
about a month ago against the
Baltimore Ravens, and he had been
looking gimpy since tumbling back-
ward following an ill-advised sidearm
throw in the rst quarter.
Having recovered the fumble, the
Seahawks kicked a short eld goal to
give them the insurance they needed.
Fellow rookie Kirk Cousins, subbing
for Grifn, was unable to rally the
Redskins in the nal minutes.
Grifn, the No. 2 overall pick and
last years Heisman Trophy winner
who set several rookie quarterback
record this year, nished 10 for 19
for 84 yards with two touchdowns
and one interception. He also had
ve carries for 21 yards, including a
laboring 9-yard run that made him
look 32 years old instead of 22.
The loss ended a seven-game
winning streak for the Redskins,
who recovered from a 3-6 start to
win the NFC East.
The Redskins opened the game
threatening to make a mockery of the
NFLs top scoring defense. Simple
toss-to-the-right stretch plays netted 8,
9 and 18 yards for Alfred Morris in an
80-yard drive, and tight end Logan
Paulsen barreled into linebacker
Malcolm Smith after a catch to high-
light a 54-yard drive.
Both possessions ended with 4-
yard touchdown passes: one to Evan
Royster for his rst NFL TD catch
and the other to Paulsen. The
Redskins led 14-0 in the rst quarter
against a team that allowed a sea-
son-low 15.3 per game in the regu-
lar season, but Grifn had tweaked
the knee on that second drive.
The Seahawks responded by getting
Lynch involved more and scoring on
three consecutive drives to pulled
within a point at halftime. Steven
Hauschka, who injured his left ankle
during the rst half and had to relin-
quish kickoff duties, nevertheless
sandwiched eld goals of 32 and 29
yards around a 4-yard touchdown pass
from Wilson to Michael Robinson.

accomplish.
That said, its not a huge surprise
to nd Alabama playing for another
title. Thats not the case when it
comes to Notre Dame.
Despite their impressive legacy,
the Fighting Irish (12-0) werent
even ranked at the start of the sea-
son. But overtime wins against
Stanford and Pittsburgh, combined
with three other victories by a
touchdown or less, gave Notre
Dame a shot at its rst national title
since 1988.
After so many lost years, the
golden dome has reclaimed its lus-
ter in coach Brian Kellys third sea-
son.
It starts with setting a clear goal
for the program, Kelly said.
Really, what is it? Are we here to
get to a bowl game, or are we here
to win national championships? So
the charge immediately was to play
for championships and win a
national championship.
Both Notre Dame and Alabama
have won eight Associated Press
national titles, more than any other
school. They are the bluest of the
blue bloods, the programs that have
long set the bar for everyone else
even while enduring some droughts
along the way.
ESPN executives were hopeful of
getting the highest ratings of the
BCS era. Tickets were certainly at a
premium, with a seat in one of the
executive suites going for a stagger-
ing $60,000 on StubHub the day
before the game, and even a less-
than-prime spot in the corner of the
upper deck requiring a payout of
more than $900.
This is, to me, the ultimate
match-up in college football, said
Brent Musberger, the lead announc-
er for ESPN.
Kelly molded Notre Dame using
largely the same formula that has
worked so well for Saban in
Tuscaloosa: a bruising running
game and a stout defense, led by
Heisman Trophy finalist Manti
Teo.
Its a little bit old fashioned in
the sense that this is about the big
fellows up front, Kelly said. Its
not about the crazy receiving num-
bers or passing yards or rushing
yards. This is about the big fellas,
and this game will unquestionably
be decided up front.
While points gure to be at a pre-
mium given the quality of both
defenses, Alabama appears to have
a clear edge on offense. The Tide
has the nations highest-rated pass-
er (AJ McCarron), two 1,000-yard
rushers (Eddie Lacy and T.J.
Yeldon), a dynamic freshman
receiver (Amari Cooper), and three
linemen who made the AP All-
America team (rst-teamers Barrett
Jones and Chance Warmack, plus
second-teamer D.J. Fluker).
Thats football at its nest, said
Teo, who heads a defense that has
given up just two rushing touch-
downs. Its going to be a great
challenge, and a challenge that we
look forward to.
The Crimson Tide had gone 15
years without a national title when
Saban arrived in 2007, the schools
fth coach in less than a decade
(including one, Mike Price, who
didnt even made it to his rst game
in Tuscaloosa). Finally, Alabama
got it right.
In 2008, Saban landed one of the
greatest recruiting classes in school
history, a group that has already
produced eight NFL draft picks and
likely will send at least three more
players to the pros (including
Jones). The following year, the
coach guided Alabama to a perfect
season, beating Texas in the title
game at Pasadena.
Last season, the Tide fortuitously
got a shot at another BCS crown
despite losing to LSU during the
regular season and failing to even
win its division in the Southeastern
Conference. In a rematch against
the Tigers, Alabama romped to a
21-0 victory at the Superdome.
The all-SEC matchup gave the
league an unprecedented six
straight national champions, has-
tening the end of the BCS. It will
last one more season before giving
way to a four-team playoff in 2014,
an arrangement that was undoubt-
edly pushed along by one confer-
ence hoarding all the titles under
the current system.
Lets be honest, people are prob-
ably getting tired of us, Jones said.
We dont really mind. We enjoy
being the top dog and enjoy kind of
having that target on our back, and
we love our conference. Obviously,
wed rather not be a part of any
other conference.
This title game certainly has a
different feel than last years.
That was really kind of a weird
national championship because it
was a team we already played,
Jones remembered. It was kind of
another SEC game. It was in the
South, and it just had a very SEC
feel to it obviously. This year is
much more like the 2009 game
(against Texas) for me. Were play-
ing an opponent that not only we
have not played them, but no one
we have played has played them. So
you dont really have an exact
measuring stick.
In fact, these schools have played
only six times, and not since 1987,
but the rst of their meetings is still
remembered as one of the landmark
games in college football history.
Bear Bryant had one of his best
teams at the 1973 Sugar Bowl, but
Ara Parseghian and the Fighting
Irish claimed the national title by
knocking off top-ranked Alabama
24-23.
If youre a long-time Notre
Dame fan, you still remember
Parseghians gutty call to throw the
ball out of the end zone for a
game-clinching first down. If you
were rooting for the Tide, you
havent forgotten a missed extra
point that turned out to be the los-
ing margin.

Wyatt scores 26 as Temple
falls to No. 6 Kansas
LAWRENCE, Kan. Allen
Fieldhouse was lled to the rafters,
the sound was deafening and
Temple was hanging tough. The
Owls had committed only two
turnovers the entire game, and were
in front of No. 6 Kansas in the clos-
ing minutes.
Their third turnover helped cost
them the game.
Ben McLemore stepped in front
of a pass from the Owls Anthony
Lee and went the other way for a
dunk that gave Kansas the lead with
2:42 remaining, and the reigning
Big 12 champions held on for a 69-
62 victory Sunday.
That was unfortunate, that play,
Temple coach Fran Dunphy said of
the turnover near mid-court. Ill be
anxious to see it on lm and see
what we did.
Temple (10-3) was poised for its
second top-10 upset of the season
before withering in crunch time.
Stage like this, this is what you
play for, said Khalif Wyatt, who led
the Owls with 26 points. We didnt
take advantage of it, but it was just a
great atmosphere.
Kevin Young had 16 points and 10
rebounds for Kansas. Travis
Releford added 14 points on 5-for-5
shooting, including a key 3-pointer
from the wing with 34.9 seconds
left.

BOULDER, Colo. Unable to
hit free throws with any consistency
down the stretch, No. 7 California
still found a recipe for success with
some old-fashioned defense and
rebounding.
Brittany Boyd scored 15 points,
Reshanda Gray and Afure
Jemerigbe both rebounded missed
free throws in the late going and
Layshia Clarendon figured in a
defensive stop that prevented a last-
second shot as Cal hung on to beat
No. 20 Colorado 53-49 Sunday.
That was very important, Boyd
said of Cals physical finish. I
think rebounding is the key to our
team. I just think we were dialed in,
focused and didnt want to lose.
Jemerigbe and Gray added 10
points apiece for Cal (12-1, 2-0 Pac-
12 Conference), which is off to its
best start ever. The Golden Bears
won their sixth straight since their
only loss of the season, a 77-63 set-
back at No. 3 Duke. It was Cals
fourth win in a row against Colorado,
which still leads the series 5-4.
Chucky Jeffery scored 10 of her 13
points in the second half, leading a
rally by Colorado (11-2, 0-2 Pac-12).
But she also committed a key
turnover forced by Clarendons
tenacious defense in the nal
moments that denied the Buffaloes
a chance to get off a nal shot.
Obviously, in a one-possession
game, that was huge, Cal coach
Lindsay Gottlieb said. Its two great
players going at it, and were lucky to
have Layshia. Shes just a great leader
and an all-around complete kid on the
offensive and defensive end.

SALT LAKE CITY Sara
James made the most of her oppor-
tunity to play extended minutes.
With starter Toni Kokenis held out
as a precaution, James stepped up
with a career-high 18 points Sunday
to help No. 4 Stanford beat Utah 70-
56.
The highlight of this game was
Sara James, Stanford coach Tara
VanDerveer said of the 5-foot-10
reserve. Shes been working really
hard in practice. It was her time.
James hit 6 of 8 shots off the
bench, including 3 of 5 from 3-point
range. She also had four assists and
two steals in 31 minutes. The junior
came into the game averaging just
4.1 points in 10 minutes.
Each time the Utes would get
close, James was there to answer.
She did it after Utah pulled to 35-33,
countering with a driving layup.
She did it again after Iwalani
Rodrigues scored back-to-back bas-
kets as Utah trimmed Stanfords
lead to 47-41, draining a 3-pointer.
And after freshman Paige Crozon
hit a 3-pointer with 6:38 left, James
scored again to bump the Cardinal
lead back to nine points with 6:23
left.
I keep telling people Sara is the
most competitive person I ever met
at Stanford. And thats on the court
and off the court, said Chiney
Ogwumike, who led the Cardinal
with 20 points. Ive just been hop-
ing and praying for an opportunity
for her to come out and really show
people that and today she did. And I
think its here to stay.
Stanford (13-1, 2-0) is now 15-0
against the Utes (9-4, 0-2). The
Cardinal extended to 80 its streak of
consecutive conference wins.
Ogwumike entered the game hav-
ing posted 10 straight double-dou-
bles, but she managed just six
rebounds against the Utes.
VanDerveer credited Utah for
doing a great job of being funda-
mentally sound and boxing out.
I am really proud of our effort
this weekend, playing against two
very good teams, Utes coach
Anthony Levrets said of battles
against No. 7 Cal and Stanford. I
dont think the score is indicative of
what the battle was out there today.
We cant have moral victories any-
more, we have to start putting some
wins together.
He also noted the conference
schedule is a two-month ordeal.
We have to keep our heads up
while we go out and continue to get
better, Levrets said.
Early on Utah held Ogwumike in
check, forcing her to miss her rst
three shots.
At halftime she had just eight
points and one rebound.
The preseason All-American was
strong down the stretch. Her driving
layup give Stanford some breathing
room after Utah got within 56-50,
and ignited a 6-0 Cardinal run,
capped by James fast-break layup.
Ogwumike also held Utah stand-
out Michelle Plouffe to 10 points on
4-of-16 shooting.
I tried to stay with her step on
step and be active on the ball,
Ogwumike said. They run the
motion offense and they move in it.
Its hard to follow 24-7. But I tried
not to give her easy baskets apart
from the rst one she got in the
game.
Rodrigues led Utah with 21
points. Crozon added 11 points on
4-of-7 shooting.
Utah shot just 38.2 percent and
committed 12 turnovers but held a
15-4 edge on second-chance points.
Stanford led 29-24 at halftime but
it was a struggle to score against the
Pac-12s second-ranked defense.
The Cardinal hit just 3 of 13 shots
in the rst 6 1/2 minutes and 13 of
31 in the rst half.
Utah had an even harder time
scoring as layups spun out and 3-
pointers wouldnt stay down.
The Utes were shooting 25 per-
cent at one point and 31 percent (9
of 29) at halftime.
The Utes stayed close in the rst
thanks to an 11-0 edge in second-
chance points and the bench play of
Crozon. The 6-1 guard had already
doubled her season average 12 min-
utes in with eight points of 3-of-5
shooting, including her second 3-
pointer that pulled Utah to 16-14.
This is how its going to be on
the road, said VanDerveer, whose
team must play back-to-back games
now against No. 7 Cal.
No. 4 Stanford women beat Utah
Its made an enormous difference, says
Elaine, We have a rescue dog, so socializing
the dog is extremely important and having
him off-leash makes it easier. He doesnt have
issues off-leash that he does have when hes
on-leash.
To protect the endangered snowy plover
bird species, Pacica has been more strictly
enforcing existing leash laws at its beaches
since 2010. The result is that there are very
few places in the area where dogs can legally
frolic off-leash.
The opening of the dog park on Linda Mar
Boulevard was the result of efforts by a group
of residents calling themselves The Pacica
Organization of Canine Helpers, or POOCH,
whose stated goal was to provide at least one
fenced, off-leash dog park for the community.
POOCH volunteers monitor and maintain the
dog park, but a representative of the organiza-
tion declined to comment on the controversy
surrounding the park.
POOCH is going to ght like heck to avoid
having the park moved, says Daniel Muller, a
Walnut Creek attorney hired by the home-
owners.
The smells, noise, and especially the dust
from the park have been a shockingly impor-
tant nuisance, Muller said.
The impact study which the city performed
in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act prior to building
the park was not accurate and made assump-
tions which proved to be wrong, Muller said.
Everything that could go wrong has gone
wrong, Muller said. It was a bad idea to put
a dog park behind peoples homes. Nobody in
their right mind, no matter how much they
love dogs, would want a dog park right behind
peoples backyards.
Relocating
The cost of relocating the dog park would
not be prohibitive, Muller said, and he would
like to avoid a lawsuit.
No suit has been led, and we hope we
wont have to le. Nobody wants to litigate,
Muller said. Id like to have everybody get
together and try to move this thing forward,
rather than have a bunch of lawyers talking
about whether theres an actionable claim.
Park booster Bernie Sifry, however, said
Pacicas budget is running on very thin
reserves, and the threat of being sued will
probably cause the city to cave in to the home-
owners demands.
Sifry, originally from New York, and a
Pacifica resident since 2002, recently
addressed the City Council and urged them
not to close the park. He said the homeown-
ers had been given ample time to voice their
concerns prior to the parks approval, and
he described photographer Stephen Johnson
as a very obnoxious person who is too
quick to call the police to report excessive
barking.
Johnson is aware that his position has made
him unpopular in some circles, but he said
barking dog noise has made it nearly impossi-
ble for him to ply his trade.
This has probably been the single most
negative impact on my art making in my 40-
year career, and thats not to mention the
impact on my teaching and ability to conduct
business on the phone, he said. I would have
never moved into this space if Id known
thered be a dog park next to it, nor would the
other artists here, nor would the homeown-
ers.
Bad apples
The majority of dog park users are good
about controlling their dogs to minimize bark-
ing, he said, but a few bad apples are ruining
it for everybody.
Eighty percent of the people are lovely and
courteous, but there are the 10 or 20 percent
who arent, and then you wind up dealing
with some very angry and entitled people.
Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Director
Michael Perez said steps have been taken to
address the complaints. The parks operating
hours have been reduced, the park is now
closed on Tuesdays and signs have been
installed informing users of the reduced
hours. Signs warning users not to park in
spaces reserved for photography students
have also been installed, Perez said.
Volunteers
Volunteers are watering the park to suppress
dust and the city is exploring the option of
putting in an automatic sprinkler system for
dust suppression, he added.
Though he rejects claims that the city did
not spend enough time studying the situation
before building the dog park, Perez does not
minimize the concerns of the parks neigh-
bors.
I understand the reality now is not what
they expected, Perez said. We certainly
wont discount their feelings. We did our due
diligence, but I wouldnt argue with them
about their experience.
Councilwoman Mary Ann Nihart agrees
with Perez that the city did not take shortcuts.
The sites selection was a very public, multi-
year process and resident input was solicited
at every step, she said.
The City Council just doesnt do things in
isolation, Nihart said.
Frontierland Park in the back of Linda Mar
Valley has been suggested by some as a pos-
sible relocation site, but Nihart said that
option is not ideal because the site is at the top
of a big hill, and would therefore be difcult
for seniors and pedestrians to access.
Construction site
Dog park opponent Stephanie Poloni said
the noise and dust make her feel like shes liv-
ing next door to a construction site. Her
neighbors with children are especially con-
cerned about letting their kids play in back-
yards caked with dust from the parks sub-
strate, she said.
Poloni does not, however, want to see the
issue painted as a ght between homeowners
and dog lovers.
Were all dog owners, she said. We love
dogs. We think Pacica should have a dog
park. We just think it should be moved to a
more compatible place.
Realtors have agreed with her that the dog
parks placement could reduce the values of
the affected homes, she said, but her biggest
concern is not nancial.
My grandparents were the original owners
of this home, she said. Now my husband
and I are talking for the rst time about whats
going to happen if we have to move. We cant
let this happen. This is more than an invest-
ment this is our home.

BEIRUT A deant Syrian
President Bashar Assad rallied a
chanting and cheering crowd
Sunday to ght the uprising against
his authoritarian rule, dismissing
any chance of dialogue with mur-
derous criminals that he blames for
nearly two years of violence that has
left 60,000 dead.
In his rst public speech in six
months, Assad laid out terms for a
peace plan that keeps himself in
power, ignoring international
demands to step down and pledging
to continue the battle as long as
there is one terrorist left in Syria.
What we started will not stop,
he said, standing at a lectern on
stage at the regal Opera House in
central Damascus a sign by the
besieged leader that he sees no need
to hide or compromise even with the
violent civil war closing in on his
seat of power in the capital.
The theater was packed with his
supporters who interrupted the
speech with applause, cheers and
occasional fist-waving chants,
including God, Bashar and Syria!
The overtures that Assad offered
a national reconciliation confer-
ence, elections and a new constitu-
tion were reminiscent of symbol-
ic changes and concessions offered
previously in the uprising that
began in March 2011. Those were
rejected at the time as too little, too
late.
The government last year adopt-
ed a constitution that theoretically
allows political parties to compete
with Assads ruling Baath Party. It
carried out parliamentary elec-
tions that were boycotted by his
opponents.
Assad demanded that regional and
Western countries must stop funding
and arming the rebels trying to over-
throw him.
We never rejected a political
solution ... but with whom should
we talk? With those who have an
extremist ideology, who only under-
stand the language of terrorism? Or
should we with negotiate puppets
whom the West brought? he asked.
We negotiate with the master, not
with the slave, he answered.
As in previous speeches and inter-
views, he clung to the view that the
crisis was a foreign-backed plot and
not an uprising against him and his
familys decades-long rule.
Is this a revolution and are these
revolutionaries? By God, I say they
are a bunch of criminals, he said.

D
oes your list of New Years resolu-
tions include something about los-
ing weight or getting in better
shape? The survey says ding number
one answer on the TV game show Family
Feud. Id like to gain weight, which sounds
more difcult than it is when going after the
right kind of weight gain. I wont be loading
up on pizzas and milkshakes, especially
since Im lactose intolerant. But, I will be
doing something. An old high school friend
I hadnt seen for a quite a while asked if I
was an ultra-marathoner. Yikes! I dont even
like to run more than three or four miles at a
time. Before you claim TMI!, lets move
on to the animals. While I dont imagine
many people are looking to put weight on
their pets, I bet quite a few of you have at
least considered helping them lose a few
pounds. One quick, unscientic test to see if
your dog is overweight involves feeling their
middle; it should feel like a waist, not a
shapeless section between their ribs and
back end. Any veterinarian will say that a
high percentage of pets are overweight or
obese. And, duh, the number one cause is
overfeeding. Pet owners say that one cup of
food for breakfast and dinner just doesnt
seem like enough, that their pet always
looks like they want more and will scarf it
up if offered. Of course. But, that doesnt
mean you should give it to them. Our pets
need fewer calories than we think. Rather
than overfeeding, be nice to them in other
ways. More walks and play time, new bed-
ding, more car rides, days at work with you
and play dates with other dogs. Obesity, in
pets, can lead to the same health risks as
obesity in people: Diabetes, arthritis, joint
pain, even cancer. Our pets lives are already
far too short; add years by keeping them
trim.

LOS ANGELES It took Leatherface and
his chainsaw to chase tiny hobbit Bilbo
Baggins out of the top spot at the box ofce.
Lionsgates horror sequel Texas Chainsaw
3-D debuted at No. 1 with $23 million,
according to studio estimates Sunday. The
movie picks up where 1974s The Texas
Chainsaw Massacre left off, with masked
killer Leatherface on the loose again.
Quentin Tarantinos revenge saga Django
Unchained held on at No. 2 for a second-
straight weekend with $20.1 million. The
Weinstein Co. release raised its domestic total
to $106.4 million.
After three weekends at No. 1, part one of
Peter Jacksons The Hobbit trilogy slipped
to third with $17.5 million. That lifts the
domestic haul to $263.8 million for The
Hobbit. The Warner Bros. blockbuster added
$57.1 million overseas to bring its interna-
tional earnings to $561 million and its world-
wide total to about $825 million.
Also passing the $100 million mark over
the weekend was Universals musical Les
Miserables, which nished at No. 4 with
$16.1 million, pushing its domestic total to
$103.6 million.
Like other horror franchises, Texas
Chainsaw Massacre has had several other
remakes or sequels, but the idea always seems
ripe for a new wave of fright-ick fans. Nearly
two-thirds of the audience was under 25, too
young or not even born when earlier
Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies came out.
Its one of those that survives each genera-
tion. Its something that continues to come
back and entertain its audience, said Richie
Fay, head of distribution for Lionsgate.
Texas Chainsaw drew a hefty 84 percent
of its business from 3-D screenings. Many
movies now draw 50 percent or less of their
revenue from 3-D screenings, but horror fans
tend to prefer paying extra to see blood and
guts y with an added dimension.
In narrower release, Matt Damons natural-
gas fracking drama Promised Land had a
slow start in its nationwide debut, coming in
at No. 10 with $4.3 million after opening in
limited release a week earlier.
Released by Focus Features, Promised
Land stars Damon as a salesman pitching
rural residents on fracking technology to drill
for natural gas. The lm widened to 1,676
theaters, averaging a slim $2,573 a cinema,
compared with $8,666 in 2,654 theaters for
Texas Chainsaw.
Hollywood began the year where it left in
2012, when business surged during the holi-
days to carry the industry to a record $10.8
billion at the domestic box ofce.
Overall business this weekend came in at
$149 million, up 7 percent from the same
period last year, when The Devil Inside led
with $33.7 million, according to box-ofce
tracker Hollywood.com. But with strong busi-
ness on New Years Day last week,
Hollywood already has raked in $254.2 mil-
lion, 33 percent ahead of last year.
Chainsaw 3-D carves out No. 1 debut
1.Texas Chainsaw 3-D,$23 million.
2.Django Unchained,$20.1 million.

Brolin arrested
New Years Day
SANTA MONICA Josh Brolin spent some of New Years
Day and the following morning in a Southern California jail cell
after getting arrested for misdemeanor public intoxication.
Santa Monica Police Lt. Darrell Lowe says the actor was not
given a citation for the Tuesday arrest, which means he likely
wont have to appear in court.
Lowe says Brolin was arrested just before midnight January
1, when ofcers found him heavily intoxicated on a Santa
Monica sidewalk. He was booked into jail and released about
six hours later after he had sobered up.
A call to a publicist for Brolin was not immediately returned.
Brolin is starring in the crime lm Gangster Squad, which
opens this week.

dents thought would be covered through
the associations reserves, it reads.
Specifically, the association offers a
10-page exhibit listing problems with
water intrusion, structural and soil
issues and plumbing problems. Among
the issues listed are: beams throughout
the property are twisted; doors were
not installed in a level manner; insula-
tion is missing from some of the walls;
water from the roof drains onto electri-
cal boxes; and the washing machine
water shut-off valves and drains are
inaccessible.
The nonprot association is suing for
the cost to actually make the repairs, any
relocation and storage necessary during
that time, and any lost income from han-
dling the case as well as legal costs.

Tuesday meeting, ofcials will wish out-
going Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson

stretch representing District Four. Jacobs
Gibson was termed out after serving
since 1999 following the mid-term leave
of Ruben Barrales. She was then elected.
On Tuesday night, the board will make
its nal tweaks by installing Supervisor
Don Horsley as its new president.
Horsley, the former county sheriff, was
elected to the board in 2010 after his
retirement. Horsley represents District
Three which includes San Carlos,
Woodside, Pacica, Half Moon Bay and
Redwood Shores.
He recently made news by announcing
that after two years of waiving his super-
visor salary a campaign promise
he was again collecting a paycheck
along with his $200,000 pension.
Slocum also promised during his cam-
paign not to accept a salary if elected.

BOARD
anesthesiologist at the time who Mosser
asked to come along.
Huang wasnt sure what to expect on
that rst trip. What he found was chal-
lenging conditions no piped gases,
cats running around and patients clus-
tered together in an open ward.
It was really rewarding to see the
results of your work. ... You just go in
and do your job, said Huang.
The trip opened their eyes about the
work that could be done in the world. In
an effort to offer a solution but also
widen the possible destinations to which
the medical team would travel,
Destination: Hope was founded in 2009
thanks to a grant from the
SalesForce.com Foundation. Since
becoming a nonprot, volunteers have
traveled to Ecuador, Vietnam and the
Philippines. A group will be heading
back to the Philippines in mid-January.
In those trips, Huang has been con-
stantly reminded of how lucky he is
here.
On one trip, volunteers met a girl
with a cyst on top of her head which
made people reluctant to even talk with
her or give her a haircut. After a scan to
be sure it was something the team could
easily remove, the team moved for-
ward. The volunteers were rewarded
with a large smile.
In another instance, a boy who had
been burned years earlier had his arm
fused to his body in the scaring. The
team was able to free his arm, Huang
recalled.
Since getting established, the chal-
lenging part is often raising the funds for
the transportation and travel require-
ments for the trips, said Huang.

HOPE
By Gillian Wong
BEIJING The executive chairman
of U.S.-based Google, one of the worlds
largest Internet companies, was traveling
Monday to North Korea, a nation with
notoriously restrictive online policies.
Eric Schmidt, the most high prole
U.S. business executive to visit North
Korea since young leader Kim Jong Un
took power a year ago, was in Beijing
and scheduled to depart for Pyongyang
aboard a commercial Air China ight.
Leading the delegation was former
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who
has traveled more than a half-dozen
times to North Korea over the past 20
years. Richardson called the trip a pri-
vate, humanitarian mission.
This is not a Google trip, but Im sure
hes interested in some of the economic
issues there, the social media aspect. So
this is why we are teamed up on this,
Richardson said
without elaborating
on what he meant by
the social media
aspect.
Well meet with
North Korean politi-
cal leaders. Well
meet with North
Korean economic
leaders, military.
Well visit some universities. We dont
control the visit. They will let us know
what the schedule is when we get there,
he said.
Richardson also said the delegation
plans to inquire about a Korean-
American U.S. citizen detained in North
Korea.
Were going to try to inquire the sta-
tus, see if we can see him, possibly lay
the groundwork for him coming home,
Richardson said. I heard from his son
who lives in Washington state, who
asked me to bring him back. I doubt we
can do it on this trip.
The four-day trip, which is taking
place just weeks after North Korea red
a satellite into space using a long-range
rocket, has drawn criticism from U.S.
officials. Washington condemned the
Dec. 12 launch, which it considers a test
of ballistic missile technology, as a vio-
lation of U.N. Security Council resolu-
tions barring Pyongyang from develop-
ing its nuclear and missile programs.
The Security Council is deliberating
whether to take further action.
We dont think the timing of the visit
is helpful, and they are well aware of our
views, U.S. State Department spokes-
woman Victoria Nuland told reporters
last week.
The trip was planned well before
North Korea announced its plans to send
a satellite into space, two people with
knowledge of the delegations plans told
the Associated Press.
Googles Schmidt heading to N. Korea
Eric Schmidt
MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 2013
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When out on the
town sharing a good time with friends, cough up an
equal share of the tab, even if you dont eat or drink
as much as some others. Itll make you look small if
you dont.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Before driving
yourself to the limits in order to achieve an objective,
be absolutely certain its something you want in the
frst place. Theres a chance that your efforts could
be misplaced.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Even if you get a
choice opportunity to badmouth someone you dont
like, it behooves you not to do so. Your pals will
wonder if youd do the same to them.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone who is
known for taking advantage of others might try to do
so with you. If youre on the ball, you wont let him
or her get away with it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you fnd it necessary
to team up with another in order to accomplish
something, try to solicit an associate who has some
experience in the matter at hand.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Do your best to
keep up with your duties and responsibilities.
Youll quickly fnd that youre not likely to function
effciently if you allow things to pile up.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If an unfamiliar subject
or situation rears its head, dont pretend that you
know something about it. You wont look too good if
youre drawn into the discussion.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Budget planning with your
family could turn out to be frustrating if everyone
wants the advantage. Pay the bills frst, and then
split whats left.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Its a mistake to
become overly concerned about your co-workers
job performance. Once you start concentrating on
them, your own work will suffer.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You can count on
buyers remorse setting in if you do not manage your
resources as well as you should. It behooves you to
limit your spending only to what is essential.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Its possible that you
could create a problem with family members by
treating outsiders with more consideration than you
do them. Dont think the clan wont notice.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you insist upon
nursing a senseless grudge, youll only crowd out all
the sunshine in your life. Strive to be forgiving and
forgetful where old slights are concerned.

otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Hiroshi Kawauchi. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Mary G. Sancimino in the Superior Court

Petition for Probate requests that Mary
G. Sancimino be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent

thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
203 Public Notices
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: January 16, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you ob-
ject to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state
your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by your
attorney. If you are a creditor or a con-
tingent creditor of the decedent, you
must file your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representa-
tive appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters as provided in Probate Code sec-
tion 9100. The time for filing claims will
not expire before four months from the
hearing date noticed above. You may
examine the file kept by the court. If you
are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing
of an inventory and appraisal of estate
assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250.

There Is
New Hope!
A Health Center
Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
Youve seen the ads and heard the
radio commercials about my Non-
Surgical Spinal Decompression
treatment. At Crossroads Health
Center, Ive created an entire facility
dedicated to patients with severe disc
conditions that have not responded
to traditional care. My revolutionary,
Crossroads Method, provides a very
high success rate to patients with
serious back, neck, leg and arm pain
even when all else has failed. This
FDA cleared; non-surgical treatment
allows us to rehabilitate your
herniated or degenerative disc(s)
by reversing internal pressure and
enabling your disc(s) to heal from the
inside out. We succeed where other
treatments have failed by removing
the pressure that is causing pain to
your disc(s) and nerves without
drugs, injections, invasive surgery or
harmful side effects.
The only ofce to have
The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When
an MRI showed that I had two
degenerative discs, I went through a
series of lumbar epidural injections
without success. The only thing
that made the pain and spasms go
away was Spinal Decompression
treatments at Crossroads Health
Center. Four years later and I am
still pain-free!
Lisa K.
My severe low back and sciatica
pain have been reduced signifcantly
since receiving spinal decompression
therapy at Crossroads Health Center.
I am now able to walk, golf, and do
things that I havent been able to do in
years! I would also like to say thanks
to Dr. Ferrigno and the offce staff as
they went above and beyond to make
sure my back problem was resolved. I
couldnt be happier!!

How Will I Know If I Qualify
for Treatment?
When you come in for a
complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform
a comprehensive examination to
determine exactly where the pain is
coming from. If x-rays are necessary,
we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
treatment protocol.
If we dont feel like we can help we
will refer you to someone who can.
