San Mateo is home to one of the
most inuential and rapidly grow-
ing solar companies in the market-
place. What began in 2006 as a
startup in a spare bedroom,
SolarCity has become the largest
full service solar provider in the
country, said Jonathan Bass, vice
president of communications for
SolarCity.
On average, SolarCity signs a
new customer every three minutes
and hires between 10 and 15
employees a day, Bass said. The
company is nearly doubling every
year and is responsible for about
one in three residential solar sys-
tems in the country, Bass said.
There are a lot of tech compa-
nies in the area, but we are a real
leader in energy and our goal and
mission is to become the most
compelling company of the 21st
century, Bass said.
California is on the cutting edge
of solar. Technology development
is huge in the Bay Area and theres
an incredible talent pool of soft-
ware engineers, Bass said. Plus,
people want to work in a field
where they believe theyre making
a difference, Bass said.
California has a very strong
solar market. Our employees are
extremely passionate about what
they do and I think most of the
people that are here want to do
something positive for the envi-
ronment, Bass said.
SolarCity has more than 500
employees at its San Mateo head-
quarters and about 4,000 employ-
ees nationwide, Bass said. The
anonymous employee-rating site
Glassdoor reviews over 280,000
companies and SolarCity is proud
to have made it on the charts.
We were ranked 18th as one of
the top 20 best places to work and
that was really exciting, Bass

Foster City is considering updat-
ing its smoking ordinance to align
with community development and
modern tobacco-related behavior.
However, there are some concerns
from vested parties whose business-
es are funded in part by smokers.
The current smoking ordinance
hasnt been altered since 1996, yet
the city has changed quite a bit
since then.
As I read through the current
smoking ordinance, I saw a bunch
of glaring loopholes that I felt
needed to be covered, Councilman
Steve Okamoto said.
He worked for the American
Cancer Society and the health and
safety of the public is his number
one priority, Okamoto said.
For 10 years,
I saw the devas-
tation that
smoking creat-
ed; not only on
the smoker, but
on their friends
and family with
the secondhand
s m o k e ,
Okamoto said.
He would like
extend the current smoking restric-
tion beyond 25 feet from a building
or entryway, prohibit smoking in
outdoor seating areas and bring the
ordinances denitions of tobacco
up to date, Okamoto said.
With new products like electronic
cigarettes on the market, language
in the ordinance needs to change,
Okamoto said.

Man wins $1M Picasso
with $138 raffle ticket
WEXFORD, Pa. A man looking
for art for his new home has won a $1
million Picasso painting with a
$138 raffle ticket.
Jeffrey Gonano told the Pittsburgh
Tribune-Review hes not sure hell
ever hang the masterpiece in his
home in Wexford, in western
Pennsylvania, given its value.
The 25-year-old Gonano, who
works for his familys fire sprinkler
business, learned Wednesday that his
ticket had won the Paris raffl e.
Organizers say nearly 50,000 tick-
ets were sold worldwide, for 100
euros apiece, to benefit a Lebanese
charity.
The 1914 work, Man in the Opera
Hat, dates from Spanish master
Pablo Picassos cubist period.
Picasso died in 1973.
Gonano said he wants to keep the
artwork, which features vivid shapes
in opaque gouache paint.
Maybe Ill lend it to a museum and
let them put it on display rather than
putting it in a vault, so other people
can enjoy it, he told the newspaper.
It all depends. I dont know what
the taxes are or anything.
Gonanos girlfriend, Gloria
Spataro, said he liked the odds in the
contest and felt optimistic.
Nonetheless, she presumed he was
joking when he said hed won.
He thought the odds were actually
pretty good compared to something
like a lottery, said Spataro, of
Pittsburgh. He said, `This will be
my only chance to actually own
something like this.
The raffle raised about $3.5 mil-
lion for the International
Association for the Safeguard of Tyr,
a UNESCO heritage site, said Reem
Chalabi, an education coordinator
with the group.
Gonano and Spataro had recently
begun to explore art galleries, and
she had bought him a photograph by
a Buddhist artist for Christmas.
Im glad I actually gave it to him
before, she said, because if I gave
it to him afterward, that would look
pretty insignificant compared to a
Picasso.
Polish pranksters stop
tram to film Tolkien scene
WARSAW, Poland Its almost
like in J. R. R. Tol ki ens The
Fellowship of The Ring: Gandalf
stands in the way of Balrog and tells
him to go back to the shadow to
buy time for fleeing Frodo Baggins
and his companions.
But the scene is Warsaw, not the
Mines of Moria. A Polish prankster
dressed as Gandalf stops a city tram,
which represents Balrog, and recre-
ates the scene with several others
dressed as Middle-earth characters.
Tolkiens Gandalf almost died in
the confrontation, but the Warsaw
practical joker, called SA Wardega,
just irritated the tram driver.
AYouTube video of the prank post-
ed last week has gone viral with
nearly 3 million views by Saturday,
just days before Polands premiere of
the The Hobbit film sequel.
Trying to spread cheer,
Santa in NH scares instead
HOLLIS, N.H. Police in south-
ern New Hampshire say a man
dressed as Santa Claus was only try-
ing to spread some cheer but ended
up panicking officials when he
knocked on school windows and
entered the building.
The Nashua Telegraph reports that
administrators at the Hollis Primary
School called police around 10 a.m.
Thursday after they saw the man run-
ning around the school, tapping on
windows and waving at students.
He was buzzed into the building
but fled when he saw a look of alarm
on a staffers face.
Other schools and parents were
notified and kids were kept inside for
recess.
The man has contacted police to
say he was only trying to spread
holiday cheer and didnt mean to
cause panic. Police arent identify-
ing him because he wasnt charged.

oos may be the last refuge
against a rising tide of extinc-
tion. National Geographic,
October 2013.
The next time you visit the
Fleishhacker Zoo, think about this:
The idea about collecting and showing
off animals, exotic and domestic, is
not too old of a concept. The word
zoo was rst used for the Gardens and
Menagerie of the Zoological Society
of London in 1828 but zoos or
menageries had been around for quite
a few years. An excavation in Egypt in
2009 revealed a menagerie from around
3,500 B C. It included hippos, harte-
beest, elephants, baboon and wildcats.
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia,
most of the Greek city states and
Alexander the Great were collectors of
exotic animals that were displayed.
Most of these animals were conned in
cages but, in 1907, the city of
Hamburg became the rst zoo to use
open enclosures surrounded by moats
rather than barred cages.
A sad chapter in the display of ani-
mals occurred in the Roman Arena in
Rome where Caligula had 400 bears
killed in a single day. In a single day at
the dedication of the Colosseum by
Titus, 5,000 animals perished. Lions,
tigers, rhinoceroses, hippopotami,
giraffes, bulls and stags were used to
entertain the populace.
Because of the interest in the range
of animals the world was found to
have, the number of zoos now exceeds
1,000, with around 80 percent in
cities.
The attitude of the public has
changed considerably over the years

Injured puppy
discovered alive in trash
SAN FRANCISCO Workers at a San
Francisco recycling facility found an
injured 10-week-old puppy that had appar-
ently been thrown away on Friday.
The tiny female puppy, an apricot-colored
poodle nicknamed Gem, was found after
being unloaded onto a conveyor belt at a
Recology dump in a truckload of bottles,
cans and other recyclables, according to
San Francisco Animal Care and Control.

according to the SFACC. She was also suf-
fering from lameness in her hind legs and
had discharge in her eyes and ears.

Man charged with using
dead kids IDs to hide gold
SAN DIEGO ASan Diego mans collec-
tion of passports created in the names of
dead children was part of a bigger plan to buy
at least $1.6 million in gold coins and hide
the gains from tax collectors, federal court
documents allege.
Agrand jury handed up new charges earlier
this month against Lloyd Irvin Taylor, 70,
U-T San Diego reported Sunday.
Taylor now faces additional counts of
aggravated identity theft, tax evasion and
corruptly endeavoring to impede the Internal
Revenue Service. He has already pleaded not
guilty to three charges of making false state-
ments on passport applications and is being
held without bond.
Neither U-T San Diego nor The Associated
Press could reach his attorney for comment
on the new charges.
Federal prosecutors contend that Taylor, a
former certied public accountant and lawyer
who once ran unsuccessfully for county
supervisor in San Francisco, stole the iden-
tities of at least six children who died in the
Bay Area in the 1950s and used the informa-
tion to obtain passports.
The new indictment alleges he then
opened several nancial accounts in the
names of the dead kids or non-existent
churches with names such as Holy Life
Church and Self Development Church.
Taylor earned signicant assets through
his investments but led taxes only seven
times between 1969 and 2003, and has not
led since, the indictment says.
Taylor was arrested in April, and federal
authorities seized nearly $2 million in gold
that he owned, prosecutors said.
Neighbors help
soldier replace stolen gifts
LODI Army Cpl. Chris Petrossian was
in Afghanistan when his frightened wife
called to say robbers stole the thousands of
dollars worth of Christmas gifts he had
ordered online and shipped to his Northern
California home.
The corporal now on leave from his
third tour of duty wanted to surprise his
wife and two daughters with gifts like an
iPad and digital camera. Thanks to fellow
residents of Lodi, he will be able to give
his family the Christmas he envisioned
while he was away, KCRA-TV i n
Sacramento reported Sunday.
After being gone that long, you want
to have a good Christmas and good
homecoming, said the 27-year-old
Petrossian, who returned from a 17-
month deployment on Wednesday. It
was all sitting on the desk and they just
ripped open all the packages and helped
themselves to whatever they wanted,
which was everything.
He told the television station that he
has been able to replace about three-quar-
ters of the stolen gifts with the commu-
ni t ys donations, including money col-
lected by local police and firefighters.
The city is about 35 miles south of
Sacramento.
I have lived here a long time, and
absolute strangers, complete strangers
have come together, he said.
Petrossian got the call Monday about
the break-in that left his familys home
ransacked. Lodi police are investigating
the robbery that claimed an estimated
$5,000 worth of merchandise.
Petrossians wife, Cheryl, told the Lodi
News-Sentinel that the break-in made her
even more grateful for having her hus-
band home for the holidays.
I dont know what I would do here,
right now, without him, she said.

dead.
The mother of Jahi McMath pleaded for
prayers and time to keep her daughter on a
ventilator past Monday, when a temporary
restraining order barring a hospital from
disconnecting life support expires.
Despite what they say, she is alive. I can
touch her, she is warm. She responds to my
touch, Nailah Winkeld wrote Saturday.
Given time I know (God) will spark her
brain awake, she wrote in the open letter.
Childrens Hospital of Oaklands respond-
ed in a statement that while it sympathizes
with Winkelds wishes, it would be unfair
to give false hope that Jahi will come back
to life.
Winkeld said her daughter bled profusely
and went into cardiac arrest after undergoing
a simple procedure to remove her tonsil to
help with her sleep apnea.
Jahi was declared brain dead on Dec. 12.
The hospital statement contends the sur-
gery was complicated, and that it was com-
mitted to fully investigating what caused
this catastrophic outcome.
Ajudge ruled Friday to keep Jahi on a ven-
tilator and continue giving her intravenous
fluids through Monday, when a court-
approved neurologist will examine the girl
for any signs of brain activity.
The familys attorney, Christopher
Dolan, told Alameda County Superior Court
Judge Evelio Grillo the family wanted inde-
pendent tests because they do not believe
the hospitals physicians are sufciently
independent.
The hospital said in documents presented
to the court Friday that a staff neurologist
and Jahis attending physician conducted
separated exams, both of which determined
that Jahis entire brain, including her brain
stem, stopped functioning.
There is absolutely no medical possibil-
ity that (Jahis) condition is reversible or
that she will someday recover from death,
declarations from the doctors said. Thus,
there is no medical justication to provide
any further medical treatment whatsoever to
(her).
Hospitals do a barrage of sophisticated
tests to determine brain death, said Dr.
Cristobal Barrios, an associate professor
and a trauma and critical care surgeon at the
University of California, Irvine. He is not
involved in Jahis care and spoke about gen-
eral hospital protocols.
Generally, two teams of specialists must
run the tests and determine independently
that the patient is brain dead, he said. At UC
Irvine, those evaluations must take place 12
hours apart if the patient is a child.

It was 1986 and Pamela Ward was awarded a degree. Not an
ordinary degree but an advanced degree, an M.A. in Education,
Administration, and Policy Analysis from prestigious Stanford
University. And Pamela was not your ordinary Stanford graduate
student. An African American single woman, Pamela became
pregnant by a heroin addict at age 16 and raised her two children
and her stepson as she mastered the curriculum. And Pamela did
what few have been able to attain completing her Masters in only
9 months. Pamela kept going. She continued her studies and raise
her children without any spousal support. Pamela completed her
doctoral coursework at Stanford and then it happened. Pamela
suffered a major bout of depression. It was her rst but it would not
be her last.
Life growing up wasnt easy for Pamela. Raised with her siblings
by her single mom, Pam was frequently left home alone with her
sisters as her mom worked at night. She recalls, starting at age 4,
fending for herself in the evening until her mom returned home.
Pamela loved school and was a gifted student. Pamela received
degrees with Honors from both Merritt Community College and
Mills College. At age 30, Pamela was juggling a life of raising
children as a single mom without child support, attending graduate
school and maintaining a 3.5 grade average.
Later she worked at several high pressure jobs, teaching in the
Community College full-time and working a part-time job with
parents in recovery from substance abuse. Managing motherhood
and work was taking its toll on Pamela. She began to feel extremely
tired and her body felt heavy. She found herself recoiling, often
spending weeks in bed. She nally recognized that she needed help.
Her journey toward recovery was about to begin.
The road to wellness for mental health consumers is not always an
easy, straight-forward path. Pamela was no exception to the rule. In
Pamelas case, she was hospitalized off and on for 8 years, tried taking
her own life with pills and alcohol, and unsuccessfully sought out help
and assistance from therapists. Pamela also received 12 unsuccessful
electric shock treatments. Pamela recounts that she was too depressed
to ask them to please stop shocking her. Because of the treatments
Pamela describes her memory as a bucket with a hole in it.
It wasnt until Pamela was introduced to Caminars supported
housing that her journey to healing, wellness, and a sense of
self-respect and dignity began. Released from the hospital and
nding herself homeless, Pamela was admitted to Redwood House,
Caminars crisis residential facility, a 30 day program offering
round-the-clock structured therapeutic and rehabilitative support
in a warm and inviting environment. Clients, like Pamela, receive
personalized treatment plans and are provided the support they need
to navigate through difcult times and rejoin the community. In
Pamelas case it kept her out of bed and interacting with people.
Pamelas successful journey with Caminar began 17 years
ago and she continues on the road to recovery through active
participation in several of Caminars outpatient programs. And
Pamelas love of school and teaching has returned. She presently
works as a part-time contractor for The Ofce of Diversity and
Equity, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services at the San Mateo
County Medical Center teaching a parenting course. She also
Chairs the African American Community Initiative, supervises the
Cultural Stipend Intern Program, and serves on the board for Voices
of Recovery. And thanks to Caminar, the holidays have arrived
early for Pamela. Through Caminars assistance, she just moved
into an apartment building with an elevator which alleviates stress
on her weakened knees. In addition to providing assistance with
her security deposit fees and a new dining set, Caminar will enable
Pamela to sleep comfortably and well Pamela has a new bed!
This year, Caminars annual Holiday Appeal is focusing on
providing housing support for clients like Pamela. Homelessness
in San Mateo County is at an all-time high with an average daily
census in 2013 of 2,281 individuals. Compounding the problem is
an alarming statistic the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom
apartment in our communities is $2,053, one of the highest in the
nation. No one should have to live on the streets and Caminar is
doing its part in eradicating this issue in our communities.

CONCORD, N.H. The first
full day of winter brought a wild
mix of weather across the U.S. on
Sunday: ice and high wind in the
Great Lakes and New England
areas, ooding in the South, snow
in the Midwest and record-shatter-
ing temperatures in the 60s and
70s along the mid-Atlantic.
Snow and ice knocked out power
to 440,000 homes and businesses
in Michigan, upstate New York
and northern New England, and
also left more than 400,000 peo-
ple without electricity in eastern
Canada. It could be days before the
lights are back on everywhere.
At least nine deaths in the U.S.
were blamed on the storm, includ-
ing ve people killed in ooding
in Kentucky and a woman who died
after a tornado with winds of 130
mph struck in Arkansas. Four peo-
ple were killed in Canada in high-
way accidents related to the storm.
The icy weather was expected to
make roads hazardous through at
least Monday from the upper
Midwest to northern New England
during one of the busiest travel
times of the year.
As of midafternoon, more than
700 airline ights had been can-
celed and more than 11, 000
delayed, according to aviation
tracking website FlightAware.com.
High-temperature records for the
date fell for the second straight
day in the mid-Atlantic states
because of a mass of hot, muggy
air from the South.
In New Yorks Central Park, the
mercury reached 70 degrees, easily
eclipsing the previous high of 63
from 1998. Records were also set
in Wilmington, Del., (67),
Atlantic City, N.J., (68), and
Philadelphia (67). Washington
tied its 1889 mark at 72.
Temperatures were expected to
return to normal by Monday night
and Tuesday, dropping back into
the 30s.
The scene was much more sea-
sonal Sunday in Vermont, where
Lynne White of West Charleston
listened to the cracking of falling
tree branches and gazed at the
coating of ice on her home.
Its actually really pretty, she
said. Not safe, Im sure, but its
pretty.
Heavy snow in Wisconsin
forced dozens of churches to can-
cel Sunday services. Milwaukee
got about 9 inches, Manitowoc 7.
Ice and snow in Oklahoma were
blamed for three trafc deaths on
slick roads.
In New Yorks St. Lawrence
County, almost 2 inches of ice had
accumulated by early Sunday, coat-
ing tree limbs and power lines,
and a state of emergency was
declared to keep the roads clear of
motorists.
Its a big party weekend ...
before Christmas, county dis-
patch operations supervisor Jim
Chestnut said. This put a little bit
of a damper onto that.
Despite a glaze of freezing rain
in Maine, plenty of shoppers ven-
tured to the outlet malls in Kittery,
Maine, on the last weekend before
Christmas.
In Canada, crews struggled to
restore service to those without
power in Ontario, Quebec and New
Brunswick. Toronto Mayor Rob
Ford called the storm one of the
worst in the citys history.
Passengers were stranded at air-
ports from Toronto to St. Johns ,
Newfoundland.

WASHINGTON The director of
national intelligence on Saturday
declassied more documents that
outline how the National Security
Agency was rst authorized to start
collecting bulk phone and Internet
records in the hunt for al-Qaida ter-
rorists and how a court eventually
gained oversight of the program.
The declassication came after
the Justice Department complied
with a federal court order to release
its previous legal arguments for
keeping the programs secret.
Director of National Intelligence
James Clapper explained in a state-
ment Saturday that President
George W. Bush rst authorized the
spying in October 2001, as part of
the Terrorist Surveillance
Program, just after the Sept. 11
attacks. Bush disclosed the pro-
gram in 2005. The Terrorist
Surveillance Program which had
to be extended every 30-60 days
by presidential order eventually
was replaced by the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act, a
law that requires a secret court to
approve the bulk collection.
Clapper also released federal
court documents from successive
intelligence directors arguing to
keep the programs secret, after a
California judge this fall ordered
the administration to declassify
whatever details already had been
revealed as part of the White
Houses campaign to justify the
NSA surveillance. Former agency
contractor Edward Snowden rst
made the surveillance programs
public in leaks to the media.
A senior intelligence official
Saturday conrmed that the docu-
ments were released as part of two
long-running class-actions cases
against the NSAin California. The
official said that at the judges
direction the administration
reviewed prior declarations in order
to relate information that is no
longer classied and determined
what could be released. The ofcial
spoke on condition of anonymity
because he was not allowed to
describe the court case by name.
President Barack Obama hinted
Friday that he would consider some
changes to NSAs bulk collection
of Americans phone records to
address the publics concern about
privacy. His comments came in a
week in which a federal judge
declared the NSAs collection pro-
gram is probably unconstitutional,
and a presidential advisory panel
suggested 46 changes to NSAoper-
ations.
The judge said there was little
evidence any terror plot had been
thwarted by the program, known as
Section 215 of the USAPatriot Act.
The advisory panel recommended
continuing the program but requir-
ing a court order for each NSA
search of the phone records data-
base, and keeping that database in
the hands of a third party not the
government. Obama said he would
announce his decisions in January.

CAIRO In a rare public apol-
ogy, the militant leader of al-
Qaidas branch in Yemen has said
that one of his fighters dis-
obeyed orders and attacked a hos-
pital attached to the Defense
Ministry during a December
assault that killed 52 people.
Qassim al-Rimi, commander of
al-Qaida in the Arabian
Peninsula, said in a video posted
on militant websites that the
attackers were warned in advance
not to enter the hospital within
the complex, nor a place for
prayer there. But he said one
fighter did.
Now we acknowledge our mis-
take and guilt, al-Rimi said in a
video released late Saturday by
al-Qaidas media arm al-
Mallahem. We offer our apolo-
gy and condolences to the vic-
tims families. We accept full
responsibility for what hap-
pened in the hospital and will
pay blood money for the vic-
tims families.
The apology seemed prompted
by Yemen state television earlier
broadcasting a video showing a
gunman attacking doctors and
other hospital staff. Several al-
Qaida jihadis tried to dismiss the
video as fake on militant web-
sites, but the outcry apparently
embarrassed the al-Qaida branch
to the point of issuing an unusu-
al expression of regret from the
group.
We rid ourselves of what our
brother did, al-Rimi said. We
did not order him to do so and
we are not pleased with what
he did.
However, al-Rimi said despite
the group making a
mistake, we are con-
tinuing with our
jihad.
The authenticity of
the English-subtitled
video could not be
absolutely confirmed,
though it was consis-
tent with other
Associated Press
reporting and came
from al-Qaidas media
arm.
That fighter and
eight other militants
were killed in the Dec.
5 suicide bombing
and gunmen attack on
the ministry complex
in Sanaa, Yemens
capital. Seven foreigners from
Germany, India, the Philippines
and Vietnam were among the
dead all who were providing
aid at the hospital.
Al-Rimi repeated al-Qaidas
earlier claim that the Defense
Ministry was attacked because it
housed drone control rooms and
American experts. He also said
that security headquarters used
by Americans in their war are
legitimate targets.
He also warned that fighters
also will attack any other mili-
tary posts and camps that coop-
erate with the American drones
by spying, planting chips, pro-
viding information or offering
intelligence advice.
We have a long list of these
places, al-Rimi said.
U.S. drone strikes in Yemen
have inflicted heavy losses on
al-Qaida militants and are part of
a joint U.S.-Yemeni campaign
against a group which
Washington has called the most
dangerous branch of the global
terrorist network.
But a Dec. 12 drone attack that
mistook a wedding party convoy
for an al-Qaida convoy, killing
15 people, has fueled anger
against the United States and the
government in Sanaa among a
Yemeni public already opposed
to the strikes. Yemens parlia-
ment later urged the government
to end the use of Yemens air-
space by U.S. drones.

KAMPALA, Uganda South Sudans cen-
tral government lost control of the capital of
a key oil-producing state Sunday, the mili-
tary said, as renegade forces loyal to a former
deputy president seized more territory in
ghting that has raised fears of full-blown
civil war in the worlds newest country.
Bentiu, the capital of oil-rich Unity state,
is now controlled by a military commander
loyal to former Vice President Riek Machar,
said Col. Philip Aguer, the South Sudanese
military spokesman.
Bentiu is in the hands of a commander
who has declared support for Machar, he
said. Bentiu is not in our hands.
The armed rebels were said to be in control
days earlier of some of South Sudans oil
elds, which have historically been a target
for rebel movements, endangering the coun-
trys economic lifeblood.
South Sudan gets nearly 99 percent of its
government budget from oil revenues, and
the country reportedly earned $1.3 billion in
oil sales in just five months this year,
according to the London-based watchdog
group Global Witness.
Although the countrys capital, Juba, is
mostly peaceful a week after a dispute among
members of the presidential guard triggered
violent clashes between military factions,
ghting continues as the central government
tries to assert authority in the states of Unity
and Jonglei.
Bor, the capital of Jonglei, is said to be the
scene of some of the ercest clashes between
government troops and rebels.
Michael Makuei Lueth, South Sudans infor-
mation minister, said Machar was believed to
be hiding somewhere in Unity state.
He is a rebel, hes a renegade and we are
looking for him. Hes moving in the bushes
of South Sudan, Lueth said of Machar.
The U.N. Mission in South Sudan said in a
statement Sunday that all non-critical staff
members in Juba are being evacuated to
Uganda. The mission said the move was a
precautionary measure to reduce pressures on its
limited resources as it continues to provide
assistance and shelter to more than 20,000
civilians gathered inside its compounds in
Juba, the mission said in a statement.
Hilde Johnson, the U.N. secretary-gener-
als envoy in South Sudan, said the evacua-
tion doesnt mean the U.N. is abandoning
South Sudan.
We are here to stay, and will carry on in our
collective resolve to work with and for the
people of South Sudan, she said. To anyone
who wants to threaten us, attack us or put
obstacles in our way, our message remains
loud and clear: we will not be intimidated.
Hundreds have been killed in the ghting
and world leaders are concerned about civil
war in a country with a history of ethnic vio-
lence and divided military loyalties.

said. I think the reason for that is because
its gratifying to be able to do something
where youre not just selling a product for
a business. Youre proliferating clean
energy.
SolarCity pioneered the full service model
in 2008, Bass said. It guides customers
through every step of the way, including
nancing, permitting, design, installation,
repairs and maintenance, monitoring and
insurance.
Solar is new to a lot of people, so the full
service model really helps them get comfort-
able with the idea of going solar, Bass said.
Traditionally, solar was viewed as a prod-
uct only wealthy homeowners could afford,
Bass said. The upfront cost to install the
panels ran upwards of $40,000 and the sav-
ings return was slow. So to encourage more
people to make the move to solar, it pro-
vides the panels and charges service fees
that are typically cheaper than standard elec-
tricity, Bass said.
By making solar a service and aligning
the costs and benets, you save money from
day one. That was a model that appealed to a
much broader homeowner. It had a tremen-
dous impact on the gross of solar in lower
and middle income homes, Bass said.
SolarCity began an initiative called
SolarStrong and contracts with developers
of military housing in California, Hawaii,
Colorado and Texas, Bass said. The military
is extremely motivated to develop renew-
able, clean and domestic sources of energy,
Bass said. SolarStrong is the largest residen-
tial solar project in the country and the com-
pany hopes to provide solar power to
120,000 military homes, Bass said.
SolarCity also created SolarGuard, an ener-
gy monitoring system that allows home-
owners to see exactly where their energy is
being spent and where they can save money,
Bass said.
Energy use is just a black box to a lot of
people. So the monitoring system we pro-
vide shows them at different times a day how
much electricity theyre using, Bass said.
It really sort of quanties for you, what are
the biggest energy hogs in the house edu-
cation is a big piece of it and thats really the
rst step in changing behavior and making
improvements.

Theres been a lot of changes in smoking
habits and paraphernalia and the old ordi-
nance didnt cover all of those new types of
tobacco, Okamoto said.
Councilman Herb Perez agrees with
Okamoto that the law is outdated and residents
are in support of a rmer smoking ordinance.
Its unacceptable to have people smoking in
front of businesses or as they walk down the
street past children, Perez said.
However, in developing the new law, its
important to acknowledge and try to work
through the concerns of local businesses,
Perez said.
Waterfront Pizza is a Mediterranean restau-
rant and hookah lounge thats kept in accor-
dance with the law since it moved to Foster
City in 1989, said owner Isam Halteh.
Smoking hookah is part of their Middle
Eastern culture and extremely popular among
customers, Halteh said.
The restaurant has a prime location near the
waterfront and pays for it. It recently signed a
20-year lease, invested more than $400,000
to expand and pays more than $18,000 in rent
per month, Halteh said.
Without the hookah, we might have to
actually shut down the restaurant, because
almost 75 percent of my customers come for
the hookah, to sit outside by the waterfront
and to enjoy some food, Halteh said.
Their restaurant attracts people from all
over the Bay Area, theyve never been cited
for serving anyone underage and keep the
smoking section in the outdoor patio,
Halteh said.
Waterfront Pizza is somewhat of a unique
situation in the city and not the same as a
smoker standing outside an ofce building on
a crowded street, Perez said.
Theres a difference between smoking
hookah in a xed place where people know
and can make a choice from someone with
a cigarette thats mobile and is walking up and
down the street, Perez said.
Both councilmen agree that they want to
continue to support local businesses like
Waterfront Pizza but public health needs to
take precedence.
Former mayor Linda Koelling attended the
study session and agrees with the council-
mens movement.
I think the health and welfare of the people
has to take a higher priority then the business
end of it. However, I believe that in the case of
a business, that reasonable accommodations
can be developed, Koelling said.
With the recent sale of the 15-acre Foster
Square site, upcoming residential develop-
ments and new restaurants with outdoor seat-
ing, the city is changing, said Koelling.
I think this is very important to the city
given the landscape change. Number one,
were going to have a lot more density in the
community, Koelling said I think the coun-
cil is taking a step in the right direction to
evaluate the smoking ordinance and see how
it applies to this nuance of eateries, because
they have to create a policy thats going to
protect the general public.

SAN FRANCISCO Sara Pasquinelli does-
nt shop at the grocery store much anymore.
The busy mother of two young boys buys
nearly all her food from a new online service
that delivers to her front door but it does-
nt bring just any food.
The emerging tech startup specializes in drop-
ping off items that Pasquinelli probably would
only be able to nd at her local farmers market.
Minutes after her weekly GoodEggs.com
order arrived at her San Francisco home,
Pasquinelli unpacked bags and boxes of n-
ger limes, organic whole milk, kiwi fruit,
beef short ribs, Dungeness crab and pas-
tured eggs.
I dont even remember the last time I went
to the store for anything other than bananas
and string cheese, said Pasquinelli, an attor-
ney who started using the service about a
year ago.
The San Francisco-based Good Eggs is
among a new crop of startups using technol-
ogy to bolster the market for locally produced
foods that backers say are better for consumer
health, farmworkers, livestock and the envi-
ronment. These online marketplaces are
beginning to change the way people buy gro-
ceries and create new markets for small farm-
ers and food makers.
Its a new way of connecting producers
with consumers, said Claire Kremen, a con-
servation biology professor at the
University of California, Berkeley. The
more alternatives people have access to for
buying food outside the industrial agricultural
regime, the better it can be.
The Good Eggs website features attractive
photos of offerings such as Hachiya persim-
mons, chanterelle mushrooms, grass-fed beef
steaks, pureed baby food and gluten-free
poppy seed baguettes. It also has pictures and
descriptions of the farmers and food makers.
Prices are similar to what shoppers pay at a
farmers market, and customers can pick up
their orders at designated locations or have
them delivered for $3.99 usually two days
after theyre placed.
Theres this wave of entrepreneurship and
creativity happening in the food world, and
Good Eggs is all about bringing that high-
quality production right to your door, said
CEO Rob Spiro, who co-founded the startup
after he sold his last company, a social search
service called Aardvark, to Google Inc. for
$50 million in 2010.
Good Eggs offers more varieties of fruits
and vegetables than most supermarkets, but
the selection is limited to what can be grown
and made locally, so you cant buy bananas in
San Francisco in December.
The service started in the San Francisco
Bay Area last year and recently launched in
New York, Los Angeles and New Orleans.
There are plans to expand into more markets
next year.
The founders, Silicon Valley engineers,
say they want to grow the market for local
food thats led to the proliferation of farmers
markets and community-supported agricul-
ture programs that deliver boxes of fresh
fruits and vegetables.
There are a lot of people out there who
want to eat locally, who want to support their
local community, who want to support the
producers who are doing things right, but its
just not very convenient, said Chief
Technology Ofcer Alon Salant, who ran a
software consulting rm before starting Good
Eggs with Spiro.
The company is entering an increasingly
competitive market for online grocery deliv-
ery. Major retailers such as Walmart and
Safeway deliver groceries and Amazon
launched its AmazonFresh service in San
Francisco this month. Another San Francisco
startup called Instacart allows customers to
order groceries from local supermarkets and
delivers in as little as an hour.
Good Eggs currently sells food from about
400 local producers that meet the companys
standards for environmental sustainability,
workplace conditions and transparent sourc-
ing of ingredients. Produce is usually picked
one or two days before its delivered.

OPINION 9
Petition scam
Editor,
In the Dec. 20 edition of the Daily
Journal, letter writer John
Bloomstine uses a 2010 book by a
radio weatherman as argument that
the climate is not changing because
of human activity. He also cites the
Oregon Petition as evidence of
American scientists supporting
denial (letter to the editor, Climate
change scam).
Im looking at the list, and if it
really has over 31,000 signatures, as
it claims, I dont think I wouldve
scrolled past Jim Jones and several
others twice in a few minutes. There
are some funny names; move your
cursor over the list to pause the
scrolling. At the same time, it claims
that all 30,000 signers are scien-
tists, but most dont have any listed
credentials and none of the claimed
education is cross-referenced with the
names. The Signatures by State tab
shows which names purportedly have
degrees; in what is not identied. The
site also says that of its current list
of petition of signers over 9,000
have Ph.D.s. It only claims 112 have
some degree in atmospheric sci-
ence. Thats less than 0.4 percent in
the relevant eld. So the claim of tens
of thousands of scientists is bogus.
It also claims to debunk all science
showing evidence of human-created
warming in a 12 page, ve-year old
article. If that and a weathermans
opinion are the best that deniers can
come up with, its pretty weak. No
matter what you believe, oil is a nite
resource; it took millions of years of
geologic processes to create, and
weve burned half of it in the last cen-
tury. Why wouldnt we get ahead of
the curve on renewables and save
some oil for future generations?

employees were not around, this city
would grind to a devastating halt.
Have you ever thought how our
Information Technology (IT) group
interacts with each of our lives? As I
mention in my title, Could you live
without IT?
Here are a few things that IT does to
make our lives better and less com-
plicated.
ITrecently managed the project to
renovate the citys website. Thanks to
the content management system (CMS)
that we implemented, the citys depart-
ments are able to keep the website up to
date themselves. While you were on the
website, did you sign up for any of the
citys email lists? ITmanages the soft-
ware that runs those as well.
When you get your water bill, did you
realize that ITsupports the systems that
collect the water meter information
wirelessly and feeds those readings into
the billing system? In collaboration
with our Public Works Water Division,
ITis helping to create the opportunity
for customers to review their hourly
water consumption via the web and to
set proactive alerts in the event of
extraordinary water use or consistently
higher use that could identify potential
leaks. It also helped to implement the
system that allows you to pay your
water bill electronically.
When you want to register for a recre-
ation class, ITmaintains the software
that allows the Parks and Recreation
department to track all enrollees. They
also helped to implement online class
registration. They are currently assist-
ing the Parks and Recreation
Department in migrating to a new soft-
ware vendor.
If youve ever needed to call a city
department, ITadministers the phone
systems that allows that call to go
through. ITrecently completed a phone
system replacement project that put
much more powerful collaboration tools
on the desks of city staff.
ITalso orders and manages cell
phones, smartphones, and tablets that
are deployed to city staff, allowing city
staff to stay connected 24/7.
Have you noticed the electronic bul-
letin board on the corner of Hillsdale
and Shell? IThelps support the software
and hardware to run the sign. They also
help support the bulletin board that runs
on FCTVChannel 27.
Speaking of Channel 27, ITalso
helps support the live and on-demand
streaming of City Council meetings, as
well as the site with the meeting agen-
das: http://citydocs.fostercity.org.
If youve ever needed to call the
police, ITsupports the software that
allows dispatchers to take the call and
track information. ITalso supports the
mobile data computer (MDC) terminals
in the police cars that allow ofcers to
be dispatched more efciently and to
write reports in the eld.
After the San Mateo Fire Department
and Foster City Fire Department entered
a shared services agreement, some San
Mateo staff moved into the Foster City
ofces. IThelped to integrate the net-
works so the San Mateo staff could con-
tinue to function using their San Mateo
PCs on the San Mateo network.
If youve ever needed to see a copy of
a building permit of plans in our
Community Development Department,
ITsupports the system that maintains
historical documents in electronic for-
mat. And if you needed a printed copy of
the old permit, ITsupports all of the
citywide printers, too.
ITs strategic vision in the coming
months and years is to harness the
power of those smartphones and tablets
that you all own and use and provide a
mobile experience for you to interact
with the city. The city already has a
Facebook and Twitter presence.
However, ITis working on a plan to
allow you to more effectively interact
with the city using your mobile devices,
whether it be reporting a street light
outage, nding the nearest park or the
schedule of the next concert in the park,
or even nding a great place to eat and
shop in this community.
In many regards, the Information
Technology group is to the city team as
the Public Works is to the community.
When fresh water hits your tap, your toi-
lets ush, the street lights come on, and
you drive home on city streets, you real-
ly dont give it a second thought. In the
same way, when city departments turn
on their computers in the morning, are
able to electronically interact with you,
our community, to process your build-
ing permits, dispatch police and re
services, monitor the lagoon levels, or
control our park irrigation systems, IT
is behind the scenes at work to ensure
that the city provides the services you
enjoy that help make this community
one of the best places to live, work and
play on the San Francisco Peninsula.
As you can see, although operating in
the background, ITcertainly is in the
forefront of our lives.

City Council. He can be reached by email

Mixed messages on
economic recovery
The (Vacaville) Reporter
T
alk about mixed messages. Arecent story
declared that the U.S. economy was showing
lots of positive signs of improvement: Jobs are
steadily being added, including high-paying manufac-
turing jobs; the unemployment rate, at 7 percent
nationwide, is at a five-year low; and the stock market
has taken another jump. Yet a photo on the inside of
that same newspaper showed a block-long line of peo-
ple trying to get into a job fair in Fairfield.
Afew days later, two stories on the front page were
just as disparate. One reported that the overall net
worth of the United States $77.3 trillion is back
to pre-recession levels. The other described how Solano
County school districts are dealing with some 2,200
homeless students this year, 40 percent more than last
and a nearly four-fold increase since the 2010-11
school year.
Last month, retailers for whom holiday sales are
everything kicked off the season on Thanksgiving
Day itself, but despite drawing record crowds to the
stores, they saw fewer purchases.
Even a final report on Vacavilles Festival of Trees,
the annual fundraiser for the Opportunity House home-
less shelter, seemed to be at odds with itself. Donations
garnered from the pre-festival gala set a new record of
$50,000, while the overall total $100,000 is the
lowest since 2004, well before the economy tanked.
What is going on? Are we recovering from the reces-
sion or not?
The discrepancies are being noticed, and not just by
newspaper editors. One cannot help but wonder if such
disparate tales are contributing to a sense uncertainty
that is causing the recovery to sputter.
Lets face it, while the financial collapse that started
in 2007 officially may be labeled as a recession, psy-
chologically it was a depression. How could it not
be? Just about everyone knows someone who lost a
job, a home and/or a significant portion of their
investments, which for most Americans are tied to their
retirement savings, if they are lucky enough to have
such a thing.
Dealing with those losses yourself or watching
friends or family members struggle with them has
been a blow to the optimism needed to drive this
nation forward.
As those who treat clinical depression readily remind
us, negative thinking can become a habit thats hard to
break. If our neural pathways have become ingrained in
negative expectations about the economy, we may be
disinclined to believe any good news, even if it is
absolutely accurate. Such a lack of confidence will keep
us as individuals or employers holding tight to
our pocketbooks. But if we dont spend or invest, then
companies dont produce, which leads to layoffs and
more economic turmoil a downward spiral.
And yet, even during the holidays, it is difficult to
urge people to go out and spend when there may be
valid reasons they should be tightening up their wal-
lets. Some economic studies, including the
Congressional Budget Office, are showing a disturbing
trend: More of Americas wealth is being concentrated
in the upper income brackets, which have seen real eco-
nomic recovery.
Meanwhile, people who used to be in the middle have
fallen to lower brackets, and upward mobility has
become increasingly difficult.
President Obama recently acknowledged this, calling
the growing income gap the defining challenge of our
time.
This gap certainly would explain how overall num-
bers can be up, while many, many individuals are still
struggling. If you lost your house during the downturn,
you arent benefiting from a restoration of home prices.
If you had to sell the stocks in your retirement account
to get by, it doesnt matter if the market has rebounded.
If you were laid off from a full-time job with great bene-
fits, you may have had to replace it with a couple of
part-time, low-paying gigs. For folks in these circum-
stances, it isnt about confidence or outlook.
For them, the economy hasnt improved and theres
no reason to think they should be spending more.
And wealth being concentrated at the top might
explain how donations at the Festival of Trees gala can
continue to climb while overall contributions which
rely on middle-class residents bidding on trees and buy-
ing goodies for three days are declining.
The conundrum for economic recovery is figuring out
which problem needs to be solved: Is it a matter of
building confidence or creating jobs with wages that
allow for upward mobility?
Until we figure it out, we will have to live with this
uncertainty.

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco Bay
Area Rapid Transit ofcials and labor union
leaders announced a new deal early Saturday,
saying the nal issue in their ongoing dis-
pute has been resolved.
The transit system and its two largest
unions have been involved in months-long
negotiations that stalled recently over paid
medical leave time for employees.
BART officials and labor leaders had
approved a deal in October after six months
of negotiations and two strikes that caused
problems for hundreds of thousands of peo-
ple who ride the nations fth-largest com-
muter rail system.
That deal fell apart last month when
BART ofcials said the provision giving
workers six weeks of paid annual leave to
care for sick family members had been mis-
takenly included in the contract.
BART General Manager Grace Crunican
said in a statement early Saturday that she
will recommend the companys board of
directors approve the new agreement as
soon as possible.
After eight months of uncertainty for our
riders, this deal will guarantee that every
ounce of the Agencys focus will be directed
to providing great service to the Bay Area
during the peak holiday period and
beyond, Crunican said, according to the
statement. The Associated Press could not
immediately reach officials for further
comment.
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555
President Antonette Bryant confirmed by
phone that a deal had been reached during
overnight negotiations. She declined,
however, to discuss details until union
members have had a chance to see the
agreement.
Service Employees International Union
Local 1021 BART chapter President John
Arantes said in a statement on his unions
website that it was a fair resolution that
would close months of drawn out contract
talks. He did not elaborate. The union
office was closed early Saturday, and the AP
could not immediately reach an official for
further comment.
Both unions are expected to bring the
matter to their members for a vote.
The BART statement says the contract
dispute was resolved with solutions that
either are administrative or can be covered
within the transit systems existing budg-
et.
The new agreement expands the bereave-
ment leave policy and allows qualifying
employees more exibility in how they
pay for the costs of their family medical
leave, according to the transit system
statement.
It also mentions there will be additional
administrative changes to the contract and
upgrades to employee break rooms at three
BARTstations.
San Francisco transit, union leaders reach deal
By Dina Cappiello
DE KALB, Miss. Americas newest,
most expensive coal-red power plant is
hailed as one of the cleanest on the planet,
thanks to government-backed technology
that removes carbon dioxide and keeps it out
of the atmosphere.
But once the carbon is stripped away, it
will be used to do something that is not so
green at all.
It will extract oil.
When President Barack Obama first
endorsed this carbon-capture technology,
the idea was that it would ght global warm-
ing by sparing the atmosphere from more
greenhouse gases. It makes coal plants
cleaner by burying deep underground the car-
bon dioxide that typically is pumped out of
smokestacks.
But that green vision proved too expensive
and complicated. So the administration
accepted a trade-off.
To help the environment, the government
allows power companies to sell the carbon
dioxide to oil companies, which pump it
into old oil elds to force more crude to the
surface. Aside benet is that the carbon gets
permanently stuck underground.
The program shows the ingenuity of the
oil industry, which is using government
green-energy money to subsidize oil produc-
tion. But it also showcases the environmen-
tal trade-offs Obama is willing to make, but
rarely talks about, in his ght against glob-
al warming.
Companies have been injecting carbon
dioxide into old oil elds for decades. But
the tactic hasnt been seen as a pollution-
control strategy until recently.
Obama has spent more than $1 billion on
carbon-capture projects tied to oil elds and
has pledged billions more for clean coal.
Recently, the administration said it wanted
to require all new coal-red power plants to
capture carbon dioxide. Four power plants in
the U.S. and Canada planning to do so
intend to sell their carbon waste for oil
recovery.
Just last week former Energy Secretary
Steven Chu announced he was joining the
board of a company developing carbon cap-
ture technology.
The unlikely marriage of coal burners and
oil producers hits a political sweet spot.
It silences critics who say the administra-
tion is killing coal and discouraging oil pro-
duction. It appeases environmentalists who
want Obama to get tougher on coal, the largest
source of carbon dioxide.
It also allows Obama to make headway on
a second-term push to tackle climate
change, even though energy analysts pre-
dict that few coal plants will be built in the
face of low natural gas prices and
Environmental Protection Agency rules that
require no controls on carbon for new natural
gas plants.
By using captured man-made carbon
dioxide, we can increase domestic oil pro-
duction, promote economic development,
create jobs, reduce carbon emissions and
drive innovation, Judi Greenwald told
Congress in July, months before she was
hired as deputy director of the Energy
Departments climate, environment and
energy efciency ofce.
Before joining the Energy Department,
Greenwald headed the National Enhanced Oil
Recovery Initiative, a consortium of coal
producers, power companies and state and
environmental officials promoting the
process.
But the environmental benets of this so-
called enhanced oil recovery arent as cer-
tain as the administration advertises.
Enhanced oil recovery just undermines
the entire logic of it, said Kyle Ash of
Greenpeace, one of the few environmental
groups critical of the process. They cant
have it both ways, but they want to really,
really bad.
That has become a theme in some of
Obamas green-energy policies. To promote
new, cleaner technologies, the administra-
tion has allowed companies to do things it
otherwise would oppose as harmful to the
environment.
To clean up coal, Obama pushes more oil production

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

By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Two teams
separated by just a few plays and all
of four points for a berth to the
Super Bowl last February now nd
themselves on opposite ends of the
spectrum and standings.
The San Francisco 49ers (10-4)
are riding a four-game winning
streak and surging down the stretch
with a playoff berth practically in
hand. The Atlanta Falcons (4-10),
meanwhile, sit in last place in the
NFC South and soon will be headed
into a longer offseason than they
imagined less than a year after a
loss to San Francisco on their
home eld.
Theyre a different team, were a
different team, San Francisco left
tackle Joe Staley said. New season.
Now, the NFC champion Niners
are more determined than ever to
defend their home turf in the nal
game at Candlestick Park. Next
season, San Francisco moves into
new Levis Stadium at team head-
quarters in Santa Clara.
Its the last game in
Candlestick, coach Jim Harbaugh
said. We dont want to be the guys
who screw up the last game in
Candlestick. These players will
come back 20-25 years from now
and they want to have a good mem-
ory of winning at Candlestick.
Harbaughs players are treating it
like any other important game on
the schedule, not getting caught up
in the fanfare and memories of the
iconic stadium.
For us, we want to leave
Candlestick with a win, quarter-
back Colin Kaepernick said.
Thats what were worried about.
The way things have gone for
Atlanta, the Falcons know how
quickly things can turn.
The dynamics of the team
change each and every year, coach
Mike Smith said. Weve been a
relevant team for the last five
years. Unfortunately, we have not
played up to our expectations. We
are extremely disappointed in the
way weve played in all three phas-
es and the way weve coached.
Here are ve things to watch
for Sunday:
GONZALEZS LAST
BAY AREA HURRAH
Former Cal star Tony Gonzalez
will make his last Bay Area trip
before retirement after the season.
Gonzalez just reached 15,000 yards
receiving.
He will leave 20 tickets for fami-
ly and friends, many making the
trip from Southern California.
I dont know if theres any added
emotions, Gonzalez said. Im
taking everything with urgency,
looking back going, This is it,
Ill never have this opportunity
again. You cant take it for grant-
ed, because you dont know when it
can be over. Its one of my last
games.
THE STICK SAYS SO LONG
The 49ers have played at
Candlestick since 1971, so this
farewell season has been bitter-
sweet for many of the players who
produced their greatest moments
there.
From Hall of Famers Jerry Rice,
Joe Montana and Steve Young, to
Dwight Clark and the famous
Catch that made him a worldwide
name, to the current players trying to
do their part in the stadiums legacy,
this game means a little bit more.
The guys who did great things
before us, like Jerry Rice, Joe
Montana and Steve Young, Im glad
I had the opportunity to play on
the same eld, running back Frank
Gore said.
DAWSON ON A ROLL
Phil Dawson has been on such a
roll it affects Harbaughs play-calling
knowing he has a spot-on kicker.
Dawson has converted a fran-
chise-record 24 straight eld-goal
tries, and adjusted well to the wind
and elements at Candlestick.
Real football player in every
sense of the word, which that
always doesnt get afxed to kick-
ers and punters, but Phil is that
kind of a teammate, Harbaugh
said. Its about accomplishing the
mission and the goal of the team
and him doing his job within that.
Dawson realizes one missed kick
can change a season, so hes not
thinking too far ahead like about
his chance to stay with the 49ers
after his one-year deal is done.
Id love to be back, he said.
Weve got some exciting football
down the chute thats got my
focus.
STOPPING DAVIS
Vernon Davis needs one touch-
down catch to match his career high
of 13 set during the 2009 season.
The Falcons will have to try to
stop the speedy, athletic tight end
from making a touchdown recep-
tion for a sixth straight game. He
became the rst tight end in NFL
history with more than one 12-
touchdown season.
He makes plays, thats the
biggest thing to say about
Vernon, Kaepernick said.
BLOCKING FOR GORE
With versatile fullback Bruce
Miller lost for the season to a
shoulder blade injury, the 49ers are
calling on Anthony Dixon to take
on a greater role in run-blocking
for Gore as well as others.
Gore has credited Miller for much of
his success given the holes created.
It stinks that Bruce is out,
Staley said. Weve had guys all
season that have stepped up.
Whoever steps in that position is
going to have big shoes to ll.
Harbaugh is eager to see how
Dixon does with greater responsi-
bility.
Anthony Dixon will step up and
do a great job as he has been doing
in that backup fullback role,
Harbaugh said. Very condent in
AD and how hell do.

15 loss to southern California
champion Corona del Mar. It was a
game with huge momentum
swings in the rst half and gritty
defensive efforts in the second.
But at the end of the day, uncharac-
teristic turnovers by the Gators at
crucial times of the game wound up
being the deciding factor.
It was just frustrating, said
SHP head coach Pete Lavorato.
Its like, we would get down close
to their end and then wed do some-
thing whether it was a penalty
or a turnover or something. Just,
it seemed like, I just told the kids,
sometimes in life, things dont go
your way. They just dont go your
way. And what can you say?
We got physically out-played,
said SHP superstar Ben Burr-
Kirven. We had a lot of break-
downs. Fumbles. Theres nothing
you can really say about those. It
just didnt go our way this time.
It was a game that ended much
different than one expected.
Twelve minutes into the contest, it
looked like the Sea Kings were
going to blow the Gators out of
the water after blitzing their way
to a 21-0 lead.
On the rst drive of the game,
Corona del Mar marched right now
the eld on 11 plays and scored on
a Luke Napolitano touchdown pass
to Bo St. Geme. Four snaps later,
SHP made its rst big mistake of
the game when the snap on an
attempted punt sailed over the
kickers head and gave the Sea
Kings the ball on the Gator 29-
yard line.
Five plays after that,
Napolitano was at it again, com-
pleting a 5-yard pass for his sec-
ond touchdown to give Corona a
14-0 lead.
The Sea Kings werent done just
yet. With SHP driving, Barrett
Barbato intercepted a Mason
Randall pass and took it 58 yards
into the end zone for a Pick-6 and
a 21-0 lead.
What are you going to do?
Lavorato said. Youre not going
to panic. You just do what you do
and if it works, great. If it doesnt
work, well, thats better than pan-
icking. ... Thats always difcult
[going down 21-0]. But we didnt
give up. We kept ghting back.
We just couldnt quite get it done.
SHP did the opposite of panic,
actually. When just about every-
one had written them off yet again,
the Gators responded in true Sacred
Heart fashion.
After moving the ball but
stalling at the Corona 28-yard
line, it was the defense and Andrew
Robinson that sparked a charge.
Robinson made a superb intercep-
tion and returned it 37-yards down
the Sea King sideline for a touch-
down. The score was 21-8 at that
point after a Burr-Kirven 2-point
conversion.
Then, it was Burr-Kirven who
would strike on the 10th play of
SHPs next drive. No. 25 took a
handful off the left side, got
through the rst line of defenders
then made some shifty, Madden-
esque jukes on a 47-yard touch-
down run to make it 21-15.
I thought after that, we were
going to turn it around, Burr-
Kirven said. I mean, all season
weve had those plays where you
kind of feel things shift and I real-
ly thought we had it. It just wasnt
enough today. We had the momen-
tum but we just couldnt capitalize
when it mattered the most.
Theyre a good football team,
Lavorato said. Their defensive
scheme was pretty good but I
thought we were wearing them
down. We were starting to run the
ball, run the ball in the second
half. It just seemed like we werent
able to nish things.
SHP had its chance in the rst
half to really shock the Sea Kings.
Lee intercepted a pass and returned
it to the Gator 42-yard line. But
the ensuing SHP drive stalled.
Still, the Gators felt pretty good
about what they accomplished in
the second quarter and knew they
had the ball to start the next half.
But quarters three and four
brought frustration for the Gators
on the offensive side of the ball.
Defensively, the Gators held the
Sea Kings to just a pair of eld
goals one in each quarter. But
with the ball in hand, SHP fumbled
on three of its four second half
possession. All six of Corona del
Mars points came off those mis-
takes.
None hurt more than the second
one that came with the Sea Kings
up 24-15. On that drive, SHP was
moving the ball very effectively
and looked primed to score. But
disaster struck when Segre fumbled
the football at the Corona 17-yard
line with a little more than two
minutes left in the period.
Lavorato would tell reporters
after the game that Segre, who has
played with a separated shoulder
the entire season, had that issue
reoccur on that fumble basical-
l y, as Randall went to hand him
the ball, his shoulder came out of
socket and the rock wound up on
the oor.
What a warrior he is, playing
like that all year, Lavorato said.
We had just been moving the
ball, we had started to get some
momentum and we fumbled the
ball.
SHP gave the ball up again on
its ensuing drive and the Sea
Kings turned that turnover into
four minutes of clock and another
eld goal. The Gators knocked on
the door once more but a huge
penalty (for an illegal shift) made
SHP surrender a 1st-and-goal from
the 2-yard line. Instead, the penal-
ty and then a sack forced a fourth
down pass to Andrew Daschbach
that was short by a yard.
Corona Del Mar ate up the
remaining three minutes of clock
to win the state title.
I think it was just a bunch of
bad breaks to start, Burr-Kirven
said. Were not going to make
any excuses but we felt comfort-
able with the game plan the whole
game. We batten down the hatches
from the second quarter on and
were able to hold them to two eld
goals very proud of that.
They played better than we
did, Lavorato said. They
deserved to win. ... (But) what a
great year. No one would have
given us much chance, I think, at
the beginning of the year consid-
ering we lost 21 seniors. Hey, at
our school, there are just under
300 boys so when you lose 21
seniors, thats a lot.
The Gators nished the season
at 13-2 and as Division III
Northern California champions.

NEW YORK On a busy pre-Christmas
weekend at the box ofce, The Hobbit: The
Desolation of Smaug held off a very differ-
ent sequel, Anchorman 2: The Legend
Continues.
Peter Jacksons Hobbit sequel took in
$31.5 million in its second weekend of
release for Warner Bros., according to stu-
dio estimates Sunday. Though the lm isnt
matching the pace of the rst Hobbit
movie, An Unexpected Journey, The
Desolation of Smaug is doing well abroad.
Its now made more than $400 million
worldwide, including $96 million interna-
tionally over the weekend.
The Hobbit topped Will Ferrells
Anchorman sequel, which nevertheless
opened strongly in second place. The
Paramount Pictures comedy made $26.8
million over the three-day weekend and $40
million since opening Tuesday night.
The much-marketed Anchorman 2 actu-
ally outperformed The Hobbit on Friday,
but failed to best it over Saturday and
Sunday. But the $50 million comedy, which
Paramount initially turned down, also sug-
gested it will be more popular abroad than
most comedies. It made $13.4 million in six
international markets.
The 2004 original opened with $28.4 mil-
lion, but only grossed $5.3 million interna-
tionally.
Anchorman will have a much larger
footprint internationally than the last
Anchorman did, said Don Harris, head of
domestic distribution for Paramount. Will
Ferrell has done a really good job of turning
this character into something that travels
around the world.
David O. Russells ctionalization of the
1970s Abscam investigation American
Hustle earned a robust $19.1 million in its
rst week of nationwide expansion. The
Sony Pictures lm, starring Christian Bale,
Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence, got a
boost from its co-leading seven Golden
Globes nominations.
Its such a crowd-pleaser as well as a crit-
ical hit, said Sonys distribution head Rory
Bruer. We have so much more to look for-
ward to, including Christmas Day.
The pre-Christmas weekend is a sought-
after release date, one that usually offers
lms especially good legs at the box ofce
as moviegoers ood theaters over the com-
ing weeks. The weekend box ofce was up
nearly 30 percent over the same weekend
last year.
But this years holiday frame will be par-
ticularly competitive. The crowded eld of
movie openings Wednesday includes Martin
Scorseses The Wolf of Wall Street, Ben
Stillers The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,
the Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone
comedy Grudge Match, the Justin Bieber
documentary Justin Biebers Believe and
Keanu Reeves 47 Ronin.
It is going to be one heck of a crowded
Christmas Day at the movie theater, said
Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for
box-ofce tracker Rentrak. This is setting
up to be perhaps one of the biggest
Christmas Days ever.
One obvious casualty from the many
options at the multiplexes was 20th Century
Foxs Walking With Dinosaurs, a 3-D
attraction that hoped to draw moviegoers
with digital dinosaurs. Made for $85 mil-
lion, it fell at with just $7.3 million over
the weekend.
The family market has instead been cor-
nered by Disneys animated Frozen, which
added $19.2 million over the weekend. In
ve weeks of release, its made $344 million
worldwide.
The other Oscar-hopeful that went wide
over the weekend was Disneys making-of
Mary Poppins tale Saving Mr. Banks.
The lm, starring Emma Thompson and Tom
Hanks, made $9.3 million.
Spike Jonzes acclaimed futuristic
romance Her, starring Joaquin Phoenix
and Scarlet Johansson, opened in limited
release. It took in $361,000 over ve days
in three cities, good for a $60,000 screen
average.
The third lm in the Indian action series,
Dhoom 3, set a record for a U.S. debut for
a Bollywood export. The lm made $3.3
million stateside, good enough for ninth
place at the box ofce.
Despite some high-profile summer
bombs, the 2013 box ofce is on track to
narrowly surpass last years record box
ofce of $10.8 billion, with one weekend to
go in the year.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through
Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters,
according to Rentrak. Where available, lat-
est international numbers for Friday through
Sunday are also included. Final domestic g-
ures will be released Monday:
1. Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,
$31.5 million ($96 million international).
2. Anchorman 2: The Legend
Continues, $26.8 million ($13.4 million
international).
3. Frozen, $19.2 million ($35.1 mil-
lion international).
4. American Hustle, $19.1 million.
5. Saving Mr. Banks, $9.3 million
($5.5 million international).
6. Hunger Games: Catching Fire, $8.8
million ($11 million international).
7. Tyler Perrys A Madea Christmas,
$8.5 million.
8. Walking With Dinosaurs, $7.3 mil-
lion ($13.8 million international).
9. Dhoom 3, $3.3 million ($2.1 mil-
lion international).
10. Thor: The Dark World, $1.3 mil-
lion.

the community for all ages.
During the initial planning and strate-
gy development phase, the district
solicited Gerontological Services to
conduct a market assessment in 10
Peninsula cities. The report found by
2017, almost 16 percent of the popula-
tion will be age 65 and older and the num-
ber of people age 85 and older will con-
tinue to increase over the next ve years,
increasing the value and importance of
having local facilities and support in
place.
Its something thats needed, said
Councilman Jerry Deal. I have no qualms
at all about it and think theyll do an
excellent job.
The new center will be managed and
operated by Eskaton, a community-based
nonprot organization and also will
include nationally acclaimed Livable
Design features, choice of restaurant-
style dining or fresh-express bistro, t-
ness and wellness offerings focused on
strength-based training and lifestyle
management, lifelong learning classes
and social events. There will also be
transportation to shopping and appoint-
ments, the Dawn of a New Day memory
care program, walkways and patios on
multiple oors and even a rooftop garden.
The funding is coming from a bank loan
for about $40 million and about $13 mil-
lion from district reserves, while reserves
are close to about $55 million, according
to board member Lawrence Cappel.
Meanwhile, Sunrises 1818 Trousdale
Drive space has been of concern to com-
munity members and leaders alike. The
four-story, 79-unit project was originally
approved by the Planning Commission
in 2006, but ran into bumps due to the
2008 economic downturn. Back in May
2013, the company received a one-year
building permit extension from the city,
which expires May 28, 2014. The city
gave the extension, contingent on cer-
tain commitments that Sunrise had to
make. Progress reports, updates to the
city, inspections of the unnished struc-
ture and demonstration of progress toward
completion of the project by the new
building permit deadline were some of the
stipulations. A building permit for the
project was issued in 2007 and the permit
initially expired May 28, 2010. The lat-
est from Sunrise was in September when
it announced it was evaluating nancing
proposals and its public relations depart-
ment said the latest information on the
project can be found at sunrise-
burlingame.com. There is no further
information on the website than what has
previously been reported.
Its such a blight, Fama said. We
worked with Sunrise and the landowners
to see if the district might be able to facil-
itate getting started because we need
assisted living beds. Even if they com-
plete their units and we complete ours by
2017, there will still be a need for 800
more units. We watch it because, quite
frankly, its ugly and if they should start
to complete construction, they could
come online around time ours does.
The district also has seven and a half
acres of land west of the new hospital
available for use, Fama said. There is
another project in the high level master
planning phase there. Fama said the dis-
trict looked at trends, whats needed for
the future, whats complementary to the
hospital, but also blends into neighbor-
hood. Probable uses for the land include
senior apartments, a skilled nursing facil-
ity, community center space, or space for
dentists, physicians or nonprots.
Additionally, the districts Board of
Directors approved $2 million in funding
to launch an Apple Tree Center for Dental
Health on district-owned property at 430
N. El Camino Real in San Mateo.
According to the 2013 San Mateo County
Health Needs Assessment, the prevalence
of community members without dental
coverage has increased signicantly
since the 1998 survey, and among those
without dental insurance, 34.3 percent
report that they or a family member have
dental problems, which they cant take
care of because of a lack of insurance.
The Apple Tree model removes barriers
to access and will provide basic oral
hygiene and dental services to under-
served populations in the San Mateo
County service area, according to the dis-
tricts website. The model uses mobile
outreach units and tele-dentistry to reach
the institutionalized frail elderly and dis-
abled. The district will lease its building
to Apple Tree Dental for 10 years, assist
with nancing the tenant improvements
and purchase of equipment and provide
operating capital for the launch.
In 2012, the board approved funding to
address a broad range of health care needs
by investing more than $8 million in
several initiatives, including access to
care for indigent adults through a partner-
ship with the County Health System,
MD/RN Labor Force Recruitment, the
Healthy Schools Initiative serving
20,000 K-8 grade children, affordable
assisted living units in partnership with
Lesley Senior Housing a dental care
model to remove barriers to access for the
elderly and special needs adults and annu-
al community grants programs.

LIVING
and the presentation of the animals in
the past is no longer public policy.
The management of the zoos is in the
process of displaying the animals in
what is thought to be their natural
habitat. No longer are they put in
metal cages with no thought to their
primal beings. The keepers now strive
to have methods of making the habi-
tats as close to their natural habitats as
possible.
In San Francisco, Herbert Fleishhacker
(1872-1957), American businessman,
civic leader and philanthropist became
elected to San Francisco Parks
Commission in 1922. Having become
very successful in the business world, he
had achieved monetary success and wanted
another challenge. In the early 1920s, he
purchased 60 acres of land from the Spring
Valley Water Company near the beach and
proceeded to convince the board that a zoo
and large swimming pool would be a per-
fect gift to the public of San Francisco. A
collection of animals were scattered
throughout the community and swimming
pools were a thing to which only the rich
had access. He set out to correct this.
While visiting Manila, Fleishhacker
made the acquaintance of an animal broker
named George Bistany. Fleishhacker real-
ized the store of information and caring of
animals would be a great plus if he could
hire Bistany for his dream of starting a
zoo. Bistany agreed to become the rst
directory of the zoo and he proceeded to
plan acquiring exotic animals after a home
for the animals was secured. By the time
the zoo was opened on June 12, 1929,
Bistany had transferred many animals that
were in Golden Gate Park which included
two zebras, one cape buffalo, ve rhesus
monkeys, two spider monkeys and three
elephants. After eight years of service at
the zoo, Bistany died and another director,
Edmund Hiller, took over. The Great
Depression was on and the federal govern-
ment started a works program, called the
WPA to stimulate jobs for those out of
work. Immediately, the zoo was granted
money to greatly improve the layout.
Architect Lewis Hobart designed 10 new
exhibits that transformed the zoo that
attracted thousands more people. The Lion
and Pachyderm Houses, Monkey Island,
the Aviary, bear and lion grotto, lakes,
fountains and a restaurant were completed
by Oct. 6, 1940 and opened to the public
for the rst time. In later years, additional
exhibits were completed, such as the
Denzel Carousel, Southern Pacic
Railways Engine 1294 and baby petting
zoos. There was something for everybody
now. If you couldnt walk around the entire
zoo, you could hop on the elephant train
and take a 25-minute ride and get a lecture
also about the animals. A22-inch gauge
Class E miniature steam locomotive, lit-
tle puffer was purchased in 1925, restored
and placed at the Herbert Fleishhacker
Playeld. In 1976, a nature trail summer
program was started using 12- to 14-year
old volunteers who help spread the word
about how the animals live and what their
habitats and lifestyle are in nature. More
than 250 active volunteers help keep the
zoo going and many express desire to
continue their life in some phase of con-
servation and animal care.
The main entrance off of Sloat
Boulevard closed in 2002 and the main
entrance is now located off of The Great
Highway.
For a more complete story of
Fleishhacker Zoo and Pool, there is a
wonderful book available (full of photo-
graphs) at Barnes and Nobel by Arcadia
