Obama: 2014 a year of action
Presidents State of the Union agenda more bite-sized than bold
By Nancy Benac
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Count 2014 as
the year President Barack Obamas
agenda went from bold to bite-
sized.
The presidents State of the
Union address Tuesday was an
amalgam of modest proposals
designed to chip away at some of
the same problems hes been work-
ing on all along: persistent unem-
ployment, middle-class insecurity,
lagging schools and more.
Lets make this a year of
action, Obama exhorted members
of Congress arrayed before him.
Thats what most Americans want
for all of us in this chamber to
focus on their lives, their hopes,
their aspirations.
But coming off a year in which
his major legislative proposals
largely fell at, Obama already was
putting Plan B in play, too.
Where Congress wont cooper-
ate, Obama aims to nd creative
ways to act more frequently on his
own, through executive orders,
regulatory action, presidential
cajoling and the like.
Wherever and whenever I can
take steps without legislation to
expand opportunity for more
American families, thats what Im
going to do, he declared
There is plenty Obama can do on
his own. But creativity is no sub-
stitute for clout.

training, wages or retirement secu-

San Mateo County supervisors
committed $8 million for six
affordable housing developments
including units for seniors and
mentally ill using money freed up
by liquidating the former redevel-
opment agencies.
The community will see con-
struction on these developments
happening over the next one to
three years, said Department of
Housing Director William Lowell
who added that, without the
money, they would have required

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama promised to clear
red tape away from highway proj-
ects that actually are stalled
because theres no money for
them, not because rules are in the
way. Hes ordering a higher mini-
mum wage for a sliver of the work-
force, which affects no one now
and not many later.
Going it alone without
Congress making a law just
doesnt go as far as President
Barack Obama made it sound at
times Tuesday night in his State of
the Union speech.
Alook at some of the facts and
political circumstances behind his
claims, along with a glance at the
Republican response:

Multiple random daily inspections of
Sims Metal Management conrm the recy-
cling plant is following a list of stipula-
tions imposed by Redwood City ofcials
while agencies investigate a pair of res
only weeks apart.
Meanwhile, Sims is holding a town hall
meeting tonight to let individuals air their
concerns about the res.
Our main goal is to provide a forum
where our community can come and learn
more about our operations, the recent res
and have the opportunity to ask questions,
wrote Jill Rodby, the public relations and
government affairs manager for Sims
northern California region, in an email to
the Daily Journal.
Sims West President Steve Shinn will
speak at the town hall meeting which is
expected to include an overview of the com-
panys operations at the Port of Redwood
City location and the overall Bay Area and
an update on its post-re activity.
Heading into the meetings, Sims ofcials
reiterated much of what they said last month
they are committed to the facility, the
environment, the employees and the com-
munity. A handout prepared for Wednesday
nights meeting apologizes again for the
Nov. 10 and Dec. 17 res and spells out new
prevention measures imposed both internal-
ly and by the city. For instance, delivery
times have been pushed up to avoid stock-
piles of unprocessed scrap metal and three
qualied operators will be present 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. At the time of the
after-hours re, Sims had only a security
guard at the facility because it was not oper-
ating. The company is to halt operations if
stafng levels fall short.
The new conditions run through at least
Feb. 21 which ends a 60-day period imposed
Dec. 23 to give governmental agencies like
the Environmental Protection Agency and
Department of Substance Control time to
investigate causes of the two blazes and
possibly identify changes. The agencies
will meet with Redwood City officials
Wednesday for the rst of several ongoing
formal meetings gauging progress.
So far, Sims has complied with all stipula-
tions and Fire Chief Jim Skinner told the
City Council Monday night that inspectors
make several unannounced visits daily, said
city spokeswoman Sheri Costa-Batis.
Basically, so far theyre making good on
what they said theyd do, Costa-Batis said.
Along with spelling out its safety plan,
Sims is also trying to reassure the public of
its place in Redwood City and providing
service to the greater community.
Without the ability to recycle scrap
metal, these materials would mount up rap-
idly, lling up landlls, wasting resources
and blighting the landscape, said Rodby in
a statement to be distributed at Wednesdays
meting.
The Sims town hall meeting is 6:30 p.m.
to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29 at the Fair
Oaks Community Center, multipurpose
room, 2600 Middlefield Road, Redwood
City.

SFPUC asking
customers to reduce
water usage by 10 percent
The San Francisco Public
Utilities Commission is asking its
customers to voluntarily reduce
their water usage by 10 percent
because of ongoing drought condi-
tions in the region.
The announcement by the
SFPUC, which provides water serv-
ice to 2.6 million people in San
Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara
and Alameda counties, comes after
Gov. Jerry Brown proclaimed a
drought state of emergency earlier
this month.
Brown called on all Californians
to cut their water usage by 20 per-
cent because of signicant drops in
water levels at local reservoirs and
in mountain snowpacks.
SFPUC spokesman Tyrone Jue
said the agency is only asking for a
10 percent reduction, rather than 20
percent, because customers are
already very conscious about their
water use.
San Franciscos water use is about
88 gallons per capita per day less
than half of the statewide average of
197, according to the SFPUC.
The agency plans to make a for-
mal announcement about the 10
percent voluntary reduction request
on Friday.
The SFPUC encourages residents
to take shorter showers, noting that
each minute of shower time equals
about 2.5 gallons of water. Clothes
and dishwashers should also be used
with full loads only, according to
the agency.
More conservation tips, as well
as data on the SFPUCs water sup-
pl y, can be found online at
www.sfwater.org/supplyupdate.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 26-year-old South San
Francisco man who confronted a
woman in her home wearing only
boxers just days after being sen-
tenced for a similar crime faces
four years in prison after pleading
no contest to residential burglary.
Rodney Rajiv Narayan accepted
the plea offer by prosecutors and a
judge the morning of his jury trial.
He returns for sentencing March 11.
Narayan had already been con-
victed of misdemeanor trespassing
and sentenced to 30 days in jail for
similar conduct just nine days
before he
entered the
womans South
San Francisco
home using a
ladder the after-
noon on Aug. 3
as she bathed
her two young
children.
When con-
fronted, the
woman told her 5- and 8-year-old
children to run and lock them-
selves in their room while she fol-
lowed his command to come with
him. Once downstairs, the woman
slammed and locked a door behind
Narayan and phoned for help. She
hid upstairs and police had to
break into the house where they
found Narayan lying on a bed.
According to the District
Attorneys Ofce, Narayan com-
mitted a similar offense which
included grabbing a womans
breast in July. He was sentenced to
30 days in jail with credit of eight
days which put him back out of
custody for one day before report-
edly acting out again. He is also
on three years probation.
He remains in custody in lieu of
$100,000 bail.

by state Sen. Lel and Yee, D-
San Franci sco/ San Mat eo,
Tuesday, to launch a pilot program
to enable school districts to better
provide mental health services,
and to establish a civic learning program for state
employees.
SB 596 would establish a pilot program at four
school districts allowing them to establish an inten-
sive preventative mental health plan. By utilizing
school and community resources, these districts will
seek to identify and treat mental health concerns early
so as to prevent students from falling behind, accord-
ing to Yees office.
SB 619 would require the state Depart ment of
Education to develop and make available online a
civics orientation for state employees. The orientation
would provide a basic understanding of the responsibil-

ment and the importance of civic engagement, improv-

Erick Morales did not personally
stab a 15-year-old Daly City classmate
to death 12 years ago even though a
childhood friend who sexually assault-
ed and stalked him for years claimed
the Guatemalan secret police wanted
the then-teenager to kill somebody or
put his own family in jeopardy, a
defense attorney told jurors Tuesday
during opening statements in the
mans murder trial.
Instead, that friend Reynaldo
Maldonado actually murdered
Quetzlcoatl Alba and took a photo of
Morales hunched over the body as
proof for the alleged police gang
back in Guatemala, attorney Tom
Kelley said.
That photo and a locket with a differ-
ent photo of Morales was found in
Maldonados possession years later in
Florida when Daly City police arrested
him for the murder.
Morales, 32, is also charged with
lying in wait which makes him eligi-
ble for life in prison without the pos-
sibility of parole if convicted.
Morales and Maldonado grew up
together in Guatemala with the latter, a
few years older, sexually assaulting
him from age 14 and stalking him,
Kelley said.
When both teens ended up in Daly
City, the aggressive behavior con-
tinued and Morales 18 years old,
in the country illegally and threat-
ened by Maldonado was eventual-
ly told by this older teen that the S2
gang, or secret police, wanted him to
prove himself by committing mur-
der, Kelley said.
Kelleys remarks
to jurors were the
rst public airing of
Morales defense in
Albas May 21,
2001, death. He and
Maldonado both
ed Daly City the
month after the
murder and Morales
remained at large until 2009 when
stopped by a New York state trooper on
suspicion of driving while intoxicat-
ed. Maldonados defense during his
trial last year painted Morales as the
actual killer but offered no reason why
either defendant wanted Alba dead.
Maldonado claimed an earlier consen-
sual relationship with Morales who he
said killed Alba and then called him to
clean up the scene and hide evidence.
Two days after Albas friends found
his body in the Westlake Apartments
storage room which teens used as a
hangout, Morales told Daly City
police he only knew the victim from
school and they were barely even
friends, said prosecutor Jeff Finigan.
But between May 1, 2001, and May
20, 2001, the two exchanged 57
phone calls, including a nearly three-
minute conversation the night before
Albas death, Finigan said.
During Maldonados trial, Finigan
told jurors that Maldonado held Alba
down while Morales stabbed him
repeatedly in the neck, arms and torso.
Finigan was not that specic during
Tuesdays opening statements but said
it took both men to kill a struggling
Alba who was bigger than each of
them.
Alba was last spotted by a classmate
with Morales about 10 a.m. leaving
the school campus. Morales didnt
return to class until about 12:45 p.m.
that day, Finigan said.
After his body was found, both
defendants disappeared and the case
grew cold until 2007 when a Florida
friend of Maldonado contacted authori-
ties to report he had confessed the mur-
der and shared the photo of Morales
and the body. The tipster also said the
murder weapon, Morales bloody
sweatshirt and Albas cellphone were
buried in the yard of Morales child-
hood home on Miriam Street. Police
dug up a tin can containing the items
and extradited Maldonado from
Florida. Morales followed two years
later but the two were tried separately
because of legal wrangling over
Maldonados mental ability to stand
trial.
Kelley didnt dispute much of the
evidence Finigan presented, such as
the cellphone records, but said it is a
matter of interpretation. He also said
nearly all the DNA connects back to
Maldonado and that jurors will hear
testimony that the buried sweatshirt
did not belong to his client.
Jurors deliberated three days before
convicting Maldonado of murder but
rejected the special allegation of lying
in wait that would have negated the
possibility of parole.
Maldonado and Morales are both in
custody without bail. Maldonado will
be sentenced Jan. 31.

Bill would let 16-year-olds
pre-register to vote
SACRAMENTO California would let
16-year-olds pre-register to vote under a bill
approved by the state Senate, although they
still would have to wait until age 18 to cast
their rst ballot.
SB113 heads to the Assembly after it was
approved Tuesday 24-8.
Democratic Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson of
Santa Barbara says California has one of the
nations lowest voter registration rates.
She says a study of similar laws in Florida
and Hawaii demonstrates that pre-registra-
tion encourages young people to vote once
they are eligible and makes it more likely
they will become lifelong voters.
Lawmakers weighing
bills to outlaw revenge porn
ANNAPOLIS Legislators are compar-
ing two bills that would make it a crime to
take revenge on an ex-lover by posting
their nude photos on the Internet a prac-
tice known as revenge porn.
For now, victims have no legal
recourse, unless they find a way to sue for
something like invasion of privacy, Del.
Luiz Simmons told a House committee
Tuesday.
Around the state
lowing the redevelopment agencies elimi-
nation, today is a good day for affordable
housing in San Mateo County, said Mark
Mouton of the Housing Leadership Council
of San Mateo County.
Mouton added his hope that the one-time
funding is a sign of future plans to nd a
permanent ongoing source.
The projects given funding at Tuesdays
meeting will provide 235 units of new
housing and were plucked from a list of
seven applicants which collectively
sought $15.8 million. The Waverly Place
development in North Fair Oaks by the
Mental Health Association received its full
$800,000 request. The Junipero Serra
Transit Village in Daly City proposed by
Bridge Housing received none of its sought
$3 million. The remaining ve requests
were funded in varied amounts ranging from
$300,000 to $2.35 million. They include
Willow Housing in Menlo Park, Foster
Square Senior Housing in Foster City, 6800
Mission St. in Daly City, Gateway
Apartments in Menlo Park and University
Avenue Senior Housing in East Palo Alto.
Tuesdays unanimous decision piggy-
backed on its approval last April of rough-
ly $13.4 million of unrestricted federal
funds for affordable housing that came from
a one-time distribution of the former RDA
money. The disbursement came with the
caveat that $8 million be used for afford-
able housing projects in the cities that lost
their RDAs at the time of planning or locat-
ed in the unincorporated areas of the coun-
t y. The remaining money includes about $3
million for homeless shelter construction
and improvement and approximately $2
million to acquire small residential proper-
ties for transitional and permanent house
for special needs populations.
Lowell said the Department of Housing
tried prioritizing which projects were most
ready out of the gate.
Steve Toler, assistant city manager in
Foster city, said the Foster Square project
next to City Hall formerly referred as the
15-acre site cant be any more ready
after years of planning and preparing to
spend $12 million in Foster City RDA
money.
Weve done everything but buy the
shovels, Toler said.
The countys investment must also be
leveraged with other funding, including
that from cities, and include units for the
homeless or those at risk of homeless-
ness.
The Waverly Place project includes 15
studio apartments for adults with serious
mental illness who Melissa Platte, execu-
tive director of the countys Mental Health
Association, said are among the most at
risk and low income.
Its an incredibly important project for
our clients and for us, Platte said.
The list of recommendations lauds all of
the projects but noted that some, like the
Junipero Serra Transit Village, are not eli-
gible because it does not have the city fund
commitment or dedicated 2 percent of the
units to the homeless. The University
Avenue Senior Housing project had no city
funding commitment in place at the time of
application but Lowell said the East Palo
Alto City Council will consider $350,000
in seed money at its Feb. 18 meeting.

PROJECTS
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After three years of scal conservatism,
Foster City has a balanced budget and its
ofcials are working to keep it that way as
preparations begin for its ve-year nan-
cial plan and next scal cycle.
The City Council Monday heard a general
summary of options that included changes
to employee compensation policies, shar-
ing services with other cities, changing its
water policies, investing in capital
improvement funds, continuing to con-
tribute to its reserve and nding ways to
generate revenue. Specics on the last item
are in the early stages, but Assistant City
Manager Steve Toler said some ideas are
including rate payers in the costs of waste-
water treatment plant upgrades, new afford-
able housing impact fees for developers and
making sure fees for planning, building and
recreation reect the citys cost.
The City Council and staff will continue
to evaluate these options before adopting a
budget in June.
[Were] taking a fresh look at master
fees and making sure were covering the
costs, look at shared service models fur-
ther and [will] be willing to explore those
further if they provide the same level or
greater level of service and [the coun-
cil] affirmed the decision to proactively
set aside money for capital improvement
projects in the future, Toler said.
Overall, city ofcials are pleased with its
nancial status and future policies will like-
ly reect those of previous years, Mayor
Charles Bronitsky said.
We did see a nice nancial picture. Our
revenues are up, weve received signicant-
ly more property tax and gas taxes and vehi-
cle license taxes. The city is doing well,
were ahead of our minimal 33 and one-third
percent reserve level, Bronitsky said.
The city increased its hotel tax to 9.5 per-
cent and last years passage of Measure U
business license tax is expected to con-
tribute nearly $700,000 annually to the
city by the 2015-16 scal year both have
greatly assisted in meeting those goals,
Bronitsky said.
With those tax increases, the city wont
be evaluating others this year, however, it
may increase service fees.
We need to make sure the fees we charge
for direct services such as building or plan-
ning permits, recreation fees, that those
fees fully recover costs, Toler said.
Foster City is a young city, however, it
wants to ensure it plans for capital improve-
ment projects such as upkeep of roads, sew-
ers and parks, that will inevitably need to
happen, Toler said.
The drought has put water policies on the
tops of many cities minds. As a scally
responsible and eco-friendly city, Toler said
it needs to budget for costly improvements
to its shared waster water treatment.
One area we need to take a look at with
San Mateo is the wastewater treatment
plant. The upgrades will be signicant
well need to work with San Mateo to deter-
mine how best to approach nancing it and
how to include those costs to customers or
rate payers, Toler said.
The city is looking at a new fee that could
generate revenue while helping the city
meet county requirements, Toler said.
Were looking at the potential of imple-
menting an affordable housing impact fee
that would be placed on commercial or resi-
dential property developers that would
cover the costs of the citys obligation to
provide affordable housing, Toler said.
The citys biggest expense is personnel
costs, which account for 80 percent of its
general funds operations. In the last 12
years, managing those costs resulted in 54
full-time positions being cut, according to
a staff report. The council may consider
continuing to freeze salary increases, ask-
ing employees to contribute more toward
their pension and negotiating with employ-
ee groups, according to the report. City
compensation rates have been and will con-
tinue to be talked about in closed sessions,
however, Bronitsky said the city wants to
ensure it is able to draw qualied candidates.
Everybody on our council believes our
employees should be fairly compensated,
Bronitsky said.
Personnel expenses could be reduced by
sharing service with other cities, Bronitsky
said.
Currently, Foster City, San Mateo and
Belmont share administrative re person-
nel, however, it may look at sharing equip-
ment such as its ladder truck and reghters,
Bronitsky said.
The city found benet in sharing its adult
softball league with its neighbors and may
also consider sharing law enforcement serv-
ices such as SWAT and various task forces,
according to the report. The council will
only consider shared service models if it
provides residents will the same quality, if
not better, services, Toler said.
Were interested in looking further at
how we can save more money by sharing
services and not just economically, but will
our residents still receive the same level of
services our citizens are used to getting? Its
got to make sense both for the residents and
economically, Councilman Gary Pollard
said.
The council wants the city to continue to
provide excellent service while remaining
scally sound and preparing for the future,
Toler said.
We have to make sure our residents are
always taken care of. From the services we
provide to the roads they drive on, from the
overall experience, Pollard said. Public
service has to be at the forefront of what we
do.

A Guatemalan man who prosecutors
say impregnated his 12-year-old
daughter ve years ago and ed the
country when Redwood City police
contacted by abortion providers asked
him for a DNA sample was sentenced
Tuesday to 25 years in prison.
The 40-year-old man, who the Daily
Journal is not naming as not to identi-
fy his daughter, pleaded no contest in
December to three counts of forcible
child molestation rather than stand
trial and face a life sentence. In return,
he was offered a at 25-year prison
term along with lifetime registration
as a sex offender and standard court
nes and fees.
He must serve 85 percent of the sen-
tence before being eligible for parole.
He has credit of 1,454 days.
Police originally interviewed the
man about his daughters pregnancy in
December 2007 after he brought the
girl to San Mateo Medical Center for
an abortion. Hospital staff contacted
authorities who were told by both him
and the girl that a fellow 12-year-old
named Giovanni was the father.
When police asked for a genetic sam-
ple to test, the father said he wanted
time to consider the request and the
next day fled back to Guatemala,
according to prosecutors.
The girl later told police her father
had impregnated her and she had made
up the story of the boy to protect him
and not upset her mother. Redwood
City police ultimately found the father
in Guatemala and had him deported
back in late 2012.
Father imprisoned 25 years for impregnating daughter
Prosecutors say a 21-year-old San
Jose man accused of smashing in the
windows of three East Palo Alto
churches within close proximity of
each other on an early Sunday morning
had more secular needs in mind.
After his arrest, Robert Banks told
authorities he needed to use the bath-
room but he could not nd such facili-
ties in any of the churches, according
to the District Attorneys Ofce
At about 4 a.m. Jan. 26, East Palo
Alto police report-
ed finding Banks
smashing one
church window with
a shovel and nearby
found two other
churches with simi-
larly broken win-
dows. The three
facilities vandal-
ized are Church of
the Living God and Mt. Olive
Missionary Baptist Church, both on
Pulgas Avenue, and Open Door
Church of God on OConnor Street.
The damage is estimated at more than
$5, 000.
Banks was charged with three felony
counts of vandalism and pleaded not
guilty to all charges. He sought a
court-appointed attorney at his felony
arraignment and returns to court Feb.
24 for a preliminary hearing estimated
to last an hour.
Banks was released on his own
recognizance but ordered to stay at
least 100 yards away from all three
churches.
DA: Bathroom search led to vandalized churches

LOS ANGELES California state Sen.
Roderick Wright was convicted Tuesday of
perjury and voter fraud for falsely claiming
he lived in an apartment in the district he
represents when he actually lives else-
where.
The conviction on all eight felony counts
doesnt immediately bar Wright from the
Senate, though his colleagues could decide
to remove the long-serving Democrat
before he is sentenced.
Defense attorney Winston Kevin
McKesson said he would le an appeal.
Prosecutors said Wright committed fraud
when he made it appear that he had moved
into an Inglewood prop-
erty he owned in order to
run in 2008 to represent
the 25th Senate District.
They said Wright actually
lived outside the district.
Wright was charged
with counts including
perjury, false declaration
of candidacy and fraudu-
lent voting. He could
face a maximum of eight
years and four months in prison when he is
sentenced on March 12.
Wright currently represents the 35th
Senate District because of redistricting.
Its a punch to the gut, Senate President
Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento,
said of Wrights conviction. We hold Sen.
Wright in high regard.
Steinberg said it is up to the Senate, not
the court, to decide if Wright should be
removed from ofce. He said he will consult
with his fellow senators, the Legislatures
lawyers and Sen. Richard Roth, D-
Riverside, chairman of the Senate
Committee on Legislative Ethics, before
deciding on any possible next steps.
Wrights conviction came as the state
Senate waits to see if federal charges will be
led against another Los Angeles-area state
lawmaker. Democratic Sen. Ron Calderon
of Montebello was removed from his com-
mittee assignments after a leaked FBI af-
davit alleged that he accepted money to
inuence legislation.
Calderon has not been charged with any
crime and denies wrongdoing.
Of course Im concerned that Wrights
conviction and the allegations against
Calderon will harm the Legislature and par-
ticularly the Senate in the eyes of the pub-
lic, Steinberg said.
But as Ive said before, the Senate is not
only a great institution, its an honest and
ethical institution, he said. We are faced
with two very, very different situations, but
two situations nonetheless. And Im doing
my very best to respect the membership,
respect the affected members, but rst and
foremost to stand for the institution and
protect the institution.
At Wrights trial, testimony focused on
his living arrangements. He claimed that he
lived in one unit of a ve-unit complex in
Inglewood and used the same address when
he registered to vote in 2007.
State lawmaker convicted of voter fraud, perjury
Answers sought on families Medicaid problems
CONCORD, N.H. A congresswoman from New
Hampshire asked the U.S. government Tuesday to clarify
how families can obtain coverage under the federal health
insurance law when children are eligible for Medicaid but
their parents are not.
Parents in New Hampshire, California and Florida have
been surprised to learn that children who qualify for Medicaid
cant be covered under subsidized family plans purchased
through the federal online markets, the Associated Press
reported this week. Some children are going without cover-
age temporarily while their eligibility is determined. Others
are stuck with no options because they applied for Medicaid
and were rejected, but cant be added to their parents plans.
In response to the AP report, Democratic U.S. Rep. Carol
Shea-Porter wrote to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services asking it to issue guidance to insurers, consumer
assisters and the public by Monday.

Obama ambassador pick
embraces criticism of China
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obamas choice to become U.S. ambassador
to China embraced sever-
al criticisms of that coun-
try Tuesday, agreeing
that China wants to dom-
inate Asia and is a regular
violator of human rights.
Speaking at his Senate
confirmation hearing,
Sen. Max Baucus said he
wants to help the U.S.
build a more equitable
economic relationship with China while
encouraging the Asian giant to act respon-
sibly as it emerges as a global power.
I have become a rm believer that a
strong geopolitical relationship can be
born out of a strong economic relationship,
which often begins with trade, said Baucus,
a six-term Democrat from Montana.
But under questioning from fellow sena-
tors, Baucus acknowledged that the U.S. has
a complicated relationship with China, one
that extends beyond economic issues.
States consider reviving
old-fashioned executions
ST. LOUIS With lethal-injection drugs
in short supply and new questions looming
about their effectiveness, lawmakers in
some death penalty states are considering
bringing back relics of a more gruesome
past: ring squads, electrocutions and gas
chambers.
Most states abandoned those execution
methods more than a generation ago in a bid
to make capital punishment more palatable
to the public and to a judicial system wor-
ried about inicting cruel and unusual pun-
ishments that violate the Constitution.
But to some elected ofcials, the drug
shortages and recent legal challenges are
beginning to make lethal injection seem
too vulnerable to complications.

KIEV, Ukraine In back-to-back moves
aimed at defusing Ukraines political crisis,
the prime minister resigned Tuesday and par-
liament repealed anti-protest laws that had set
off violent clashes between protesters and
police.
The two developments were signicant
concessions to the anti-government protest-
ers who have fought sporadically with police
for the last 10 days after two months of peace-
ful around-the-clock demonstrations.
The protests erupted after President Viktor
Yanukovych turned toward Russia for a
bailout loan instead of signing a deal with the
European Union and have since morphed into
a general plea for more human rights, less
corruption and more democracy in this nation
of 45 million.
The departure of Prime Minister Mykola
Azarov removes one of the ofcials most dis-
liked by the opposition forces whose
protests have turned parts of Kiev, the
Ukrainian capital, into a barricaded maze.
However, Azarovs spokesman told the
Interfax news agency that another staunch
Yanukovych ally, deputy Prime Minister
Serhiy Arbuzov, will assume temporary lead-
ership of the Cabinet, a move that is unlikely
to please the opposition.
Other key issues remain unresolved in
Ukraines political crisis, including the
oppositions repeated demand that
Yanukovych resign and a new election be
held.
Azarovs resignation came just before the
opening of a special parliament session that
repealed anti-protest laws that had set off vio-
lent clashes between protesters and police.
Earlier this month, Yanukovych pushed
through the new laws to crack down on
protests and increase prison sentences for
creating disorder. The laws also prohibited
demonstrators from wearing helmets and gas
masks as many have done for fear that riot
police would try to violently disperse
protests.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk, a lawmaker and one of
the oppositions top gures, hailed the par-
liaments move.
We have repealed all the laws against
which the whole country rose up, he said.
Over the weekend, Yanukovych offered the
premiership to Yatsenyuk, but the opposition
leader refused the post.
Parliament will consider an amnesty meas-
ure Wednesday for scores of arrested protest-
ers. But Yanukovych has said the amnesty is
only possible if demonstrators clear the
streets and vacate the buildings they now
occupy a condition that is probably unac-
ceptable to many.
The prime ministers departure on Tuesday
brought encouragement to those at Kievs
sprawling protest encampment but no incli-
nation to end their demonstrations.
The authorities are afraid and making con-
cessions. We should use this moment and
continue our ght to achieve a change of
power in Ukraine, said 23-year-old demon-
strator Oleg Rudakov.

OPINION 9
Frances Nelson tribute
Editor,
Many of San Mateos movers and
shakers attended a celebration of the
life of Frances Nelson on Monday,
Jan. 27, 2014, at the Peninsula
Country Club. Frances contributed
to, and supported, many causes.
She was a model for business and
public service, and she was daughter
of David D. Bohannon. I had the
great honor and good fortune to be
one of those causes. She and another
grand dame of local Republican
fame, Eleanore Nettle, recruited me
to run for the Board of Trustees of the
San Mateo Community College
District in 1981, and she encouraged
me from then on.
When I ran for the Board of
Supervisors, Frances supported my
work in transportation, especially
the extension of BART to the San
Francisco International Airport. It
was widely rumored that her dad,
David D., and publisher J. Hart
Clinton, were instrumental in the
1960s in keeping San Mateo County
out of the new BART district. When
we first got the BART/airport exten-
sion on the ballot in 1987 (Measure
K), I met with David D. and Frances
who agreed this time to support
BART. She gave a substantial cam-
paign contribution to help pass the
measure. (Following Frances lead, J.
Hart Clinton endorsed the ballot
measure).
Through Hillsdale Shopping
Center and personally, Frances con-
tributed greatly to the city of San
Mateo and San Mateo County. She
was a pro-choice, classic, moderate
Republican who supported local and
state candidates of both parties. She
believed that if good, thoughtful
people served in politics, their con-
sidered decisions would benefit the
whole community.
It was my honor and privilege to
know and work with Frances Nelson.
May she rest in peace.

Overbuilding Bay Area
Editor,
People of the Bay Area, especially
San Mateo and Redwood City, take a
moment and look around check
out your crowded streets and high-
ways, look at your lakes and reser-
voirs. Your state and cities are about
to tell you to cut back on your water
use. The fish runs are not happening
because of water shortage. Your farm-
ers are also crying for the same rea-
son. Your roads are crowded. What is
the response from your cities? Lets
build more homes; lets fill up every
last empty lot with high-density
housing.
Have we lost our common sense?
Or do we just not care? There are too
many people in this area. Highway
101 and State Route 92 are becoming
parking lots. There is not enough
water for the people who are here.
Our cities have one thing on their
minds more housing means more
money. They have stopped looking
after the people who live here and are
now in search of more revenue.
People need to start following local
government and tell them that
enough is enough. Keep this up and
we will soon be Los Angeles north.
I, for one, will be at the next council
meeting telling them to stop. I sug-
gest you turn off your televisions
and do the same before it is too late.

Letters to the editor
T
he Millbrae Elementary
School District has seen its
share of strife since December
stemming from the sudden departure
of the principal of Taylor Middle
School.
Parents and teachers who liked the
principal cried foul, and said they did
not have condence in district admin-
istrators in several public meetings
called to ease the tension.
However, during those meetings, it
appears that certain members of the
Board of Trustees did little to amelio-
rate the concern and, in fact, inamed
them through their combative
stances.
Mondays naming of an interim
principal is a solid step and we hope
the new school leader will be able to
navigate the treacherous waters creat-
ed by weeks of tension. It will be no
small task.
In case you missed it, Taylor Middle
School Principal Lesley Martin
abruptly resigned last month and
some felt she was intimidated by the
superintendent and school board into
leaving. Taylor classied and certi-
cated employees also passed a no con-
dence vote in Superintendent Linda
Luna early last month. Teacher repre-
sentatives also report low morale in
the district.
In response, district ofcials sched-
uled two parent meetings but tension
remained high particularly through
the defensive reactions by some mem-
bers of the board.
Because Martins departure is a per-
sonnel issue, there is some informa-
tion to which the public is not privy,
thats understandable. And Luna has
been civil and professional through-
out this process and seems to want to
learn from this situation. Thats a
positive sign.
Another positive step is a school
climate survey of the Taylor staff to
determine how to meet the schools
mission and goals.
Being on a school board is some-
times a thankless task with little pay
for a lot of work. But so is being a
teacher. And if the district wants to
retain quality teachers and other
school staff, then those at the ground
oor of educating children should be
treated with respect, as should parents
who would like to share concerns
about decisions that directly affect
their childrens education.
The ongoing dissent over the prin-
cipals departure is indicative of a
problem within the district and one
that must be remedied immediately.
Additional leadership training for
members of the Board of Trustees or
counseling through an organization
such as the Peninsula Conict
Resolution Center are two options
moving forward.
The Millbrae Elementary School
District has other signicant matters
on its plate that have the potential of
being pushed aside by this ongoing
situation. The impacts of the Local
Control Funding Formula on its
nances and the implementation of
new Common Core standards are two
challenges that will take the full
might of the district to navigate effec-
tively.
There will not be a clear and present
path forward without a cohesive
school community that feels as if it is
listened to and respected. When teach-
ing children, one of the rst lessons
is treating others with respect. This is
a lesson adults should abide by as
well.

(17kg) over a three-month span even though he ate food
only from McDonalds. His secret: regular exercise.
They are referring to John
Cisna, a science teacher
from Iowa with an apparent
desire to challenge a tradi-
tional way of thinking.
Seems he decided to prove
that he could base his diet
on the food at McDonalds
and lose weight. So he
recruited three of his stu-
dents to carefully plan a
2,000-calorie menu based
on nutritional guidelines
recommended by the Food
and Drug Administration. We
are told that he also walked
briskly for 45 minutes several times a week and played bas-
ketball, etc. His cholesterol lowered by 79 points. Makes
you wonder what he was eating before.
The Time blurb is very misleading. No mention of those
2,000 carefully chosen calories each day. You wonder if they
were trying to mislead readers into believing the
McDonalds menu can be good for us or promote the food
industry mantra that it isnt what we eat, but how much we
exercise.
Just when we might think that a bit of common sense
might be coming to the nutrition conundrum that we con-
stantly have to deal with, along comes Cisna. When you
check out one of his sample menus (from the Hufngton
Post), you realize that responsible nutritionists would
cringe at the amount of sugar, even though he drank diet
Coke (which is another problem) and the amount of saturat-
ed fat including a sausage burrito, yogurt parfait, hot fudge
sundae, small fries. And no whole grains or dark green and
yellow vegetables. Cutting calories may make you lose
weight, but in no way will ensure you get optimum nutrition
from McDonalds offerings. As Michael Pollan wrote in
Food Rules, Not only can processing remove nutrients
and add toxic chemicals, but it makes food more readily
absorbable, which can be a problem for our insulin and fat
metabolism. Lets hope that everyone took this weight
loss/McDonalds story with several grains of salt.
Speaking of shedding pounds, we read recently that Sensa,
that highly advertised weight loss product which has been
touted to make you eat less if you sprinkle it on your food
before eating it, nally is being investigated by the FDA.
Its hard to believe that anyone fell for that hype, but thanks
to its deceptive advertising and fabricated data, we are told
that it has produced $364 million in sales. So now, even
though the company is being sued, it is reported that it has
been allowed to stay in business. Now they claim theyll
change their advertising.
Its absolutely outrageous that the company wasnt
required to prove Sensas effectiveness (or not) and its safety
before marketing it. You wonder how many other weight
loss gimmicks will be uncovered before our government
agencies will protect us from such chicanery by requiring
proof of safety and effectiveness before such products are
allowed to be sold.
Then theres the continuing saga of Foster Farms (If it
isnt bacteria, its cockroaches!). Its hard to overlook how
Foster Farms is raising and processing its chickens so that
eating them can cause illness. What are the FDAand U.S.
Department of Agriculture doing (or not doing) that allows
this problem? Why cant we depend on being able to buy
chicken thats not contaminated? How is the greed for prof-
its interfering with food safety and our health? Why arent
inspectors and government regulators out there insisting
chicken products are not contaminated? Or is it that we con-
sumers should just accept the fact that relying on industry is
increasingly becoming a crapshoot.
And now, on Jan. 23, we hear that caramel coloring in
sodas is suspect as a potential carcinogen (must be the
secret ingredient we hear about). Several years ago, it was
conrmed that this chemical byproduct causes cancer in ani-
mals.
The above are just four recent examples of how we cannot
rely on the FDAand USDAto protect us from a food industry
that could care less about how their products may undermine
our health as long as they make big prots and they are
not caught. Dont we deserve better?
Public health might be better served if the FDAcould
sponsor research by independent investigators to further its
regulatory decisions, yet congressional agriculture commit-
tees consistently deny requests for such funding. Nestle.

NEW YORK Investors jitters
over emerging markets faded on
Tuesday and U.S. stocks rose for the
first time in four days.
Global stock markets stabilized
after three turbulent days when
investors grew worried about growth
in China and other developing
economies. The sell-off began last
Thursday, when a survey for January
showed that Chinese manufacturing
was set to contract, dragging down
stocks in Asia, Europe and the U.S.
The slide continued on Friday as cur-
rencies in countries including
Argentina and Turkey slumped. On
Monday, Asian markets dropped,
although the selling on Wall Street
eased.
By Tuesday, though, global markets
regained their calm. In the U.S., earn-
ings gains from big companies,
including Pfizer, Comcast and D.R.
Horton helped lift stock indexes. One
area of disappointment, though, was
Apple, whose weak revenue forecast
pushed its stock to the biggest one-
day loss in a year.
The stock market has fallen 3 per-
cent in January. In 2013 the market
rose 5 percent in the first month, on
its way to a 30 percent rise for the
year, climbing to record levels.
While the market has not had a cor-
rection, a drop of 10 percent or more,
since October 2011, many believe
that the rally has yet to run its course.
I tend to interpret the choppiness
and downward movement in share
prices so far this year as just a little
bit of a stumble off the starting
block, said John Carey, a portfolio
manager at Pioneer Investments.
This is a temporary situation.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 10.94 points, or 0.6 percent, to
1,792.50. The Dow Jones industrial
average gained 90.68 points, or 0.6
percent, to 15,928.56. The Nasdaq
composite climbed 14.35 points, or
0.4 percent, to 4,097.96.
Nine of the 10 sectors that make up
the S&P 500 index rose. Health care
and financial stocks were the two
best-performing sectors. The tech-
nology sector was the only one to
fall.
Apple slumped $44, or 8 percent, to
$506.50 after the companys first-
quarter results released late Monday
disappointed investors. First-quarter
shipments of iPhones were below
expectations, reinforcing percep-
tions that Apple is now mostly sell-
ing its mobile devices to repeat cus-
tomers who are upgrading, instead of
reeling in new customers. Apple also
provided a cautious second-quarter
revenue forecast.
Akey reason that financial markets
stabilized on Tuesday was the wide-
spread expectation that Turkeys cen-
tral bank would raise interest rates
later that day. The higher rates would
shore up Turkeys slumping currency
and fight inflation.
After U.S. markets closed, Turkeys
central bank announced a sharp
increase in its benchmark interest
rate, to 12 percent from 7.75 percent.
Relieved investors sent the Turkish
currency, the lira, surging against the
dollar. The liras plunge last week was
at the center of an emerging-market
slump that prompted the global sell-
off in stocks.
Stocks rise after three days of losses

SAN FRANCISCO Apple reshaped
technology and society when Steve
Jobs unveiled the iPhone seven years
ago. Now, the trend-setting company
is losing ground to rivals that offer
what Apple has stubbornly refused to
make: smartphones with lower prices
and larger screens than the iPhone.
The void in Apples lineup is a major
reason why the companys quarterly
revenue may be about to fall for the rst
time in more than a decade, much to the
dismay of investors who are worried
that Apple Inc. is losing its verve and
vision.
Wall Street vented its frustration after
Apple reported late Monday that it sold
fewer iPhones than analysts anticipat-
ed during the holiday season. Apple
compounded that disappointment with
a forecast raising the possibility of a
slight revenue decline in the current
quarter. It would be the rst time that
Apples quarterly revenue has dropped
from the previous year since 2003.
Apples stock shed $44, or 8 percent,
to close Tuesday at $506.50, marking
the companys largest one-day drop in
a year. The sell-off leaves the stock
about 28 percent below its peak of
$705.07, reached in September 2012
when Apples leadership in smart-
phones and tablet computers was still
generating robust revenue growth.
Since then, Apple has been relin-
quishing market share to Samsung
Electronics Inc. and other companies
that primarily make devices running
Google Inc.s Android operating sys-
tem. Those competitors offer a broader
selection of designs and prices than the
iPhone and the iPad.
Pressure mounts for Apple to expand its horizons
Yahoos 4Q results dragged down by revenue drop
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer insists
the long-stumbling Internet company has nally regained
its stride, even though its revenue is still stuck in reverse.
The latest evidence of the challenges facing Mayer
emerged Tuesday with the release of Yahoos fourth-quarter
results.
While Mayer hailed product improvements that have
helped attracted more trafc to Yahoos services, investors
focused on a drop in revenue that underscored the difculty
that the company is having competing for online advertis-
ing against Google Inc., Facebook Inc. and other rivals.
Yahoo Inc. had hoped to shift the nancial tide when it
lured Mayer away from a top job at Google 18 months ago.
Mayer, 38, has succeeded in creating a bigger buzz around
Yahoo with her panache and a series of acquisitions aimed
primarily at the mobile device market. But the signs of a
sustainable turnaround remain elusive. She has repeatedly
said it may take several years for Yahoos ad sales to surge,
though on Tuesday she promised a modest acceleration in
revenue growth during the second half of this year.
Google hopes designer frames will sharpen Glass
NEWYORK Google Glass is getting glasses.
Google is adding prescription frames and new styles of
detachable sunglasses to its computerized, Internet-con-
nected goggles known as Glass.
The move comes as Google Inc. prepares to make Glass
available to the general population later this year.
Currently, Glass is available only to the tens of thousands
of people who are testing and creating apps for it.
Glass hasnt actually had glasses in its frame until now.
Glass is basically a small computer, with a camera and a
display screen above the wearers right eye. The device sits
roughly at eyebrow level, higher than where eyeglasses
would go.
It lets wearers surf the Web, ask for directions and take
photos or videos. Akin to wearing a smartphone without
having to hold it in your hands, Glass also lets people read
their email, share photos on Twitter and Facebook, trans-
late phrases while traveling or partake in video chats.
Glass follows some basic voice commands, spoken after
the worlds OK, Glass.
Amgen 4Q profit leaps 30 percent on higher sales
Amgen Inc.s fourth-quarter prot jumped 30 percent
mainly due to a tax benet from prior-year audits, an acqui-
sition and higher sales for nearly all its drugs much of it
from price hikes.
The worlds biggest maker of biologic drugs said Tuesday
that net income was $1.02 billion, or $1.33 per share, up
from $788 million or $1.01 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding one-time items, the maker of osteoporosis
drug Prolia said earnings amounted to $1.39 billion, or
1.82 per share. Analysts were expecting $1.69 per share.
Revenue rose 13 percent to $5.01 billion. Analysts
expected $4.81 billion, according to FactSet.

For whatever reason, things just never
seemed to click for the Caada baseball team
in 2013.
Despite having an offense that scored an
average of 5.7 runs per game and a pitching
staff that allowed less than ve runs a con-
test, the Colts managed to only post a 16-
19 record overall and 12-12 in Coast
Conference-Pacic Division play.
All that has been washed away by manag-
er Tony Lucca.
We denitely ushed [the thought of last
season], Lucca said.
The Colts focus right now is solely on
Fridays season opener, when they travel to
Contra Costa College for a 2 p.m. start. The
teams return to Redwood City Saturday for a
doubleheader beginning at 11 a.m.
While the Colts lost a number of players
who helped give the Colts the third-best
offense in the conference last season, Lucca
is condent this years bunch will be able to
at least duplicate last seasons success at the
plate.
We have a lot of kids who are aggressive
early in the count. Theyre gap-to-gap guys.
I think well be able to score a lot of runs,
Lucca said. I think our ballclub has a little
bit of everything (offensively).
The Colts return four of their top hitters
from last season, led by Dylan Cook, a
sophomore out of Menlo-Atherton, who is
expected to bat in the middle of the lineup.
Cook, who will shift over to rst base after
spending time at shortstop and third last
season, batted .315 as a freshman. Having
gotten bigger and stronger in the offseason,
Lucca is hoping Cook can ramp up his
power numbers.
Cook is probably our best player, up and
down (the batting order), Lucca said. He

Half Moon Bay girls soccer
coach Katie Moore said all the
right things; how her team focuses
on the task at hand and doesnt
look ahead.
While the Cougars have done
just that, they have kept one eye
on Tuesdays date: a rematch with
Terra Nova.
On Jan. 6, the Tigers beat Half
Moon Bay in the Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division
opener. Neither team had lost
since.
So, not only did Tuesdays
rematch already have plenty of
emotion because of the rivalry
aspect of the game, but a Half
Moon Bay win would draw the
Cougars even with Terra Nova atop
the Ocean Division standings.
Which is exactly what hap-
pened.
Half Moon Bay took a 1-0 lead
just before halftime and added two
more in the second half to record a
3-0 victory.
Thats probably our best game
yet, Moore said. We know were
the best team in the league and
should win every game.
The win improved Half Moon
Bays league mark to 9-1, while
Terra Nova fell to 9-1.
Terra Nova had its chances but, a
pass out of reach or a shot that
squirted off a foot and out of dan-
ger, kept the Tigers off the score-
board.

CHICAGO Calling the NCAA a dicta-
torship, Northwesterns quarterback and the
United Steelworkers announced plans
Tuesday to form the rst labor union for col-
lege athletes the latest salvo in the bruis-
ing fight over whether amateur players
should be paid.
Quarterback Kain Colter detailed the
College Athletes Players Association at a
news conference in Chicago, anked by
leaders of Steelworkers union that has
agreed to pay legal bills for the effort. The
NCAAand the Big Ten Conference both crit-
icized the move and insisted that college
athletes cannot be considered employees.
Colter said the NCAAdictates terms to its
hundreds of member schools and tens of
thousands of college athletes, leaving play-
ers with little or no say about nancial com-
pensation questions or how to improve
their own safety. That college football gen-
erates hundreds of millions of dollars in rev-
enue only bolstered the argument for a
union, he said.
How can they call this amateur athletics
when our jerseys are sold in stores and the
money we generate turns coaches and com-
missioners into multimillionaires? Colter
asked.
The current model represents a dictator-
ship, added Colter, who just nished his
senior year with the Wildcats. We just want
a seat at the table.
Colter said nearly 100 percent of his
teammates backed the drive to unionize. But
only he spoke publicly, saying the others
wanted to keep a low prole.
CAPAs president, former UCLA football
player Ramogi Huma, said a union would
help ensure that scholarships, at minimum,
cover all living expenses as well as tuition.
Currently, he said, scholarship athletes
come up thousands of dollars short each

NEW YORK Major League Baseball is
seeking a speedy dismissal of New York
Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguezs
lawsuit challenging a season-long suspen-
sion.
Howard Ganz, an MLB lawyer, said in a let-
ter to U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos
that Rodriguezs claims do not come
remotely close to what is needed to over-
turn an arbitration decision in federal court.
Ganzs letter, dated Tuesday and filed
Wednesday, said the lawsuit should be tossed
because a court is not empowered to re-exam-
ine the merits of an arbitration decision.
Ganz said in the letter that the standard for
vacating an arbitration award is purposeful-
ly high and specically designed to prevent
courts from substituting their own judgment
for that of the labor arbitrators selected by
the parties.
Acourt must conrm an award even when
the arbitrator has offered only a barely col-
orable justication for the outcome reached,
and even if the court con-
siders the arbitrators
interpretation of the con-
tract to be plainly
wrong, he wrote.
Rodriguezs claims in
his lawsuit were consid-
ered by the arbitrator and
resolved based on evi-
dence and arguments,
along with the arbitra-
tors interpretation of collectively bar-
gained agreements, Ganz said.
He also noted that Rodriguez did not deny
engaging in the misconduct that was alleged
during the arbitrators hearing or in his law-
suit.
Ramos set Feb. 14 for a conference and
directed lawyers for Rodriguez to respond to
the leagues claims in a letter of their own by
Feb. 7.
MLB suspended the three-time ALMVP for
211 games last August, and the players
union led a grievance. Arbitrator Fredric
Horowitz on Jan. 11 cut the suspension to
162 games and the 2014 postseason, con-
cluding Rodriguez used banned substances
each year from 2010-12 and twice tried to
obstruct MLBs investigation.
Rodriguez did not testify in the grievance
proceeding, walking out after Horowitz
refused to order Commissioner Bud Selig to
testify.
Rodriguez sued MLB and the Major League
Baseball Players Association on Jan. 13 to
overturn the decision. He accused the league
of engaging in ethically challenged behav-
ior and leaking information to the media in
violation of baseballs condentiality rules.
He also accused Horowitz of acting with
evident partiality.
His lawsuit accused the players union of
bad faith, saying its representation during
the hearing was perfunctory at best.
In a footnote, Ganz wrote that the players
union plans to seek dismissal of the claim
that it breached its duty of fair representa-
tion and said the league will join in that
application to the court.
Lawyers for Rodriguez and the players
union did not immediately respond to a mes-
sage seeking comment.

NEWYORK Big league pitchers might
feel safer on the mound this season.
Major League Baseball has approved a
protective cap for pitchers, hoping to
reduce the damage from line drives to head
that have brought some terrifying and
bloody scenes in the last few years.
The heavier and bigger new hat was intro-
duced Tuesday and will be available for test-
ing during spring training on a voluntary
basis. Major leaguers and minor leaguers
wont be required to wear it comfort is
likely to be a primary concern.

NEWARK, N.J. The booming voice rose
above the din at Prudential Center to interrupt
the hullabaloo and proclaim, That concludes
the Denver Broncos media day session. The
ve happiest people in the New Jersey Devils
arena were the teams starting offensive line-
men.
They had dreaded this hour-long interview
session not for its notorious nuttiness but
because it meant more face time with the media
than theyd spent all season speaking with
reporters, at least on the record.
Carrying on the tradition of Denvers Super
Bowl teams of the late 1990s that let Shannon
Sharpe dish up the sound bites, these laconic
linemen would rather be seen and not heard.
Yeah, thats exactly what it is: let your pads
do the talking, left tackle Chris Clark said.
Its not about the glitz and glam for us.
Yet, it was hard to ignore this group that
allowed the fewest sacks in the league and eight
times kept Peyton Manning from getting get
touched at all including both playoff games
while also boring the holes for fth-year run-
ning back Knowshon Morenos rst 1,000-
yard season.
Anchored by prized free agent acquisition
Louis Vasquez, the massive right guard gave
Manning ample space to step into all those
throws to set NFL records with 55 TDs and
5,447 yards through the air.
All this despite losing star left tackle Ryan
Clady to a season-ending foot injury in Week 2
after signing a $52 million contract. He under-
went surgery and joined last years starting cen-
ter, Dan Koppen (knee) on I.R.
Clark replaced Clady, leaving just two mem-
bers of Denvers O-line starting at the same
position as last year: left guard Zane Beadles and
right tackle Orlando Franklin. Manny Ramirez
slid over from right guard to center, where he had
never started an NFLgame and had a spectacular
season his rst as a full-time snapper since
2000, when he was in high school.
Vasquez was just the rock John Elway envi-
sioned when he snatched him away from San
Diego, and hes the only 2012 free agent in all
of football to earn All-Pro honors this season.
I thank God every day that we have him,
offensive line coach Dave Magazu said.
So does Manning, whose 20 sacks were the
fewest of any quarterback who started all of his
teams games.
Yet, the line took some heat earlier this sea-
son when Manning missed some practices for
the rst time in his career because of a gimpy
right ankle courtesy of a couple of hard hits by
former Indianapolis teammate Robert Mathis
that helped make for a very unhappy homecom-
ing.
We were getting killed, Magazu said.
On the airwaves, yes.
On Twitter, for sure.
In the court of public opinion, absolutely.
But not really on the football eld.
OK, the line was still somewhat of a work in
progress, with some room for improvement,
and the backups were banged up, leaving little
margin for error.
But what are you going to do? Magazu said.
Quit?
Thats exactly what John Moftt did.
The backup guard/tackle decided not to return
from the teams bye week in November, staying
back home in Seattle, where he had started his
career, because hed lost his love for the game
and preferred his health to a healthy paycheck.
He gave up $312,500 that was remaining on his
contract this year, plus any playoff money.
It was a tough situation to lose a guy like
that, Clark said. He brought great excitement
to the room. He was a hilarious guy to be
around. And it denitely was a shocker because
he was having fun. But its a hard game and it
takes a lot out of a guy and sometimes you can
stick with it and sometimes you dont want to
stick with it.
Even when he quit in early November, it
looked like both of his former teams the
Seahawks and Broncos were on a collision
course for Sundays Super Bowl, but so what?
I dont care about the Super Bowl, he said
the day after telling John Elway he wasnt com-
ing back.
The O-linemen felt Moftt t right in,
although he didnt like the way grown men were
prized by the public simply because they made
millions playing a game and not curing cancer.
Now, Moftt does some radio gigs, some
blogging, a little stand-up comedy, something
his former teammates wouldnt dare try.
Are you kidding?
It was hard enough to meet the media for an
hour on Tuesday, answering questions both seri-
ous and silly.
Maybe its just the personality, Magazu
said. We talk about: Lets just go play. We
know this is all important, but I dont know,
sometimes I think guys just feel uncomfortable.
I think with offensive linemen, wed rather be
playing and being in our little room and in our
little cocoon or whatever and enjoy each others
company.
Broncos quiet O-line
makes loud statement
By Dennis Waszak Jr.
NEWARK, N.J. Percy Harvin is tired of
sitting through games and just watching.
The Seattle Seahawks wide receiver is
ready to play a full game while healthy for
the rst time this season. And, if he had to
pick one, well, the Super Bowl might as
well be it.
Im not really worrying about the past
games that I missed and the time I missed,
Harvin said at media day on Tuesday. Im
here now, Im healthy and Im ready to go.
Harvin returned to practice last Wednesday
after passing the NFLs concussion protocol
following a head injury suffered in Seattles
NFC divisional playoff game against New
Orleans. It was the latest in what has been a
lost season so far for the playmaking
receiver.
He missed the rst 10 games after needing
hip surgery, and played sparingly when he
returned because of complications. Harvin
came back for the playoffs, but hit his head
on the turf in Seattles win over New
Orleans.
I dont know if a player can ever actually
say that he is 100 percent, but I feel really
good, Harvin said. I havent had any prob-
lems or anything.
Harvin was then asked if he thought hed
be at full strength Sunday against the
Denver Broncos.
I am absolutely playing, he said without
hesitation.
Seattle paid a signicant price in the off-
season to bring in Harvin, dealing three
draft picks, including a first-rounder, to
Minnesota and then signing him to a six-
year, $67 million contract.
The Seahawks envisioned him as a differ-
ence-maker not only on offense, but also
special teams as a game-breaking returner.
Instead, Harvin has spent a lot of time on
the sideline and in the trainers room while
Seattle has been winning without him.
It was denitely a trying year for me,
Harvin said, also using the word frustrated
to describe his season.
Harvin had just one catch for 17 yards in
the regular season, and had three receptions
for 21 yards and a 9-yard rush against the
Saints before banging his head on the turf
and leaving that game.
Im feeling really good now, he said. I
have no restrictions.
That could make Harvin a player to keep
an eye on during the Super Bowl. After all,
when hes healthy, hes one of the leagues
most dynamic players with his tantalizing
mix of speed and elusiveness.
Ive been hearing X-factor and this kind
of talk, Harvin said. This is not my rst
rodeo. Ive played in a lot of football games
and Ive been effective at doing that. Im not
worried about anything other than what Ive
always done, and that is go out there and
play football the way I know how.
The Broncos are certainly expecting
Harvin to play an integral part of the
offense whether hes lined up on the out-
side, in the slot or returning kicks.
Hes quick and every time he has that ball
in his hands, he could be a threat, Denver
linebacker Danny Trevathon said. You
want to minimize every opportunity he
has.
With Harvin having played so few snaps
this season, defensive end Shaun Phillips
and the rest of the Broncos plan to study
lm from his Vikings days. In four seasons
with Minnesota, he had 280 receptions for
3,302 yards and 20 touchdowns, rushed for
683 yards and four scores and also returned
ve kickoffs for TDs.
Even though hes going through
injuries, you cant let that fool you,
Broncos cornerback Dominique Rodgers-
Cromartie said. You have to go back and
look at what he did before.
Harvin wont think about the past or this
seasons disappointments, especially if he
walks off the MetLife Stadium eld a cham-
pion.
It means everything, Harvin said. This
is what every professional athlete strives
for, since I was 6 years old, to play at the
Super Bowl, to be around this atmosphere,
to be around the fans. When we took off
from Seattle, all the way down our sidewalks
and highways, fans were blowing horns.
To experience those types of things is a
dream come true.
Harvin absolutely a
go for the Super Bowl
Im not really worrying about
the past games that I missed and
the time I missed. Im here now,
Im healthy and Im ready to go.
Percy Harvin, Seattle receiver
NEWARK, N.J. Internet star Lil Terrio danced with cheer-
leaders, an Austrian man dressed as Mozart, another guy wore a
Waldo costume and Nickelodeons Pick Boy was in the house.
Welcome to Media Day, the annual Super Bowl circus.
It seems tting this event was held at a hockey rink, of all
places, because theres nothing ordinary about it. More than
6,000 journalists, pseudo-journalists and other credentialed
media from all over the world gathered at the home of the NHLs
New Jersey Devils on Tuesday to meet the Denver Broncos and
Seattle Seahawks.
Strange questions were the norm instead of football ones. A
man asked Seahawks center Max Unger if he could touch his long,
scruffy beard. He said yes. Awoman asked Seahawks defensive
lineman Brandon Mebane for a kiss. He said no.
Perhaps the only player who felt at home was Seattle tight end
Luke Willson. He grew up in Canada, played hockey through his
sophomore year of high school and was genuinely psyched to be
in an NHLarena.
I thought it was kind of cool to be here, said Willson, a fan of
the Toronto Maple Leafs. I was a left winger, grinding forward-
type of guy. I have two brothers and we would play on the street
in front of the house, go to spring camps, played all the time. I
played a lot of hockey.
Asked if any of his teammates could lace up the skates, Willson
was brutally honest: No, denitely not. No way.
Unger, the 6-foot-5, 305-pound lineman, played roller hockey
long before he packed on the pounds for a career in the NFL.
This is an awesome venue, seems like a great place to play
hockey, he said. I watch a little bit of hockey. We have the
Vancouver Canucks up the road.
Coincidentally, while football players spent their day at the
rink, a couple of New York hockey teams prepared to play an out-
door game at Yankee Stadium. The Rangers and Islanders will con-
tinue the NHLs Stadium Series in the Bronx on Wednesday night.
Seahawks defensive end Benson Mayowa isnt a fan of the
sport, but he appreciates the toughness of hockey players.
Only thing I like to watch in hockey is ghts, he said. But
they do get physical, they lose teeth, get stitched up and come
back out there. Its the same as football.
But hockey has nothing like this on its calendar.
The Media Day extravaganza is one of the wildest scenes in
sports. Even current football players were in on the reporting
action. Eagles Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson co-hosted
a show for BET. Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel interviewed
players for a shampoo promotion.
This is pretty crazy, man. Pretty crazy, Broncos defensive
end Malik Jackson said. I saw Waldo. I saw the superhero. They
told us there were going to be people dressed up, but you never
really know what to expect until you see them.
Of course, a few celebrities also took part in the spectacle.
Actor Nick Cannon wore a Peyton Manning jersey. Michelle
Williams, former Destinys Child singer, asked players to sing.
But the most popular person was Lil Terrio, who became
famous for posting his Ohhh, kill em dance online. Players
stopped to pose for pictures with him, interrupted their interviews
to call him over and everyone who recognized him asked him to
dance.
As for players, Manning and Seattle cornerback Richard
Sherman were surrounded by the biggest throng of reporters.
Manning deftly evaded questions about his legacy and Sherman
was so eager to talk that he showed up early for his 60-minute ses-
sion.

The safety plates made by isoBLOX are
sewn into the hat and custom tted. They
weigh an extra six to seven ounces a
baseball weighs about ve ounces, by com-
parison and offer protection to the fore-
head, temples and sides of the head. Theyll
make the hats about a half-inch thicker in
the front and around an inch wider on the
sides.
Several pitchers have been hit in the head
by line drives in the recent seasons.
Brandon McCarthy sustained a brain contu-
sion and skull fracture after being struck in
2012 and Doug Fister was hit during the
World Series that October.
Torontos J.A. Happ and Tampa Bays
Alex Cobb were sidelined after being hit last
year.
McCarthy tweeted that he had already tried
out the fortied cap and that it was headed
in right direction but not game ready.
Said Arizona reliever Brad Ziegler: I
think theyre on the right track, but the hat
they approved isnt remotely close to com-
fortable enough to wear in games.
In an email to The Associated Press, he
said, If youre not 100 percent focused on
executing your pitches, you have almost no
chance of success. And that hat is uncom-
fortable enough that it would be a big dis-
traction to wear it.
We talked to a lot of guys who had been
through this, and they provided a wealth of
information to help us, said Bruce Foster,
CEO of the 4Licensing Corporation, parent
company of isoBLOX. We went through a
myriad of different designs to develop this.
Foster said the cap went through exten-
sive testing and provided protection from
line drives up to 90 mph in the front of the
head and 85 mph on the side.
Line drives in the majors have been
clocked at even faster rates.
While the hat is slightly bigger than a
regular baseball cap, Foster said: Its not
going to be a Gazoo hat.
Several years ago, MLB introduced larger
batting helmets that offered increased safe-
t y. But big leaguers mostly rejected them,
saying they looked funny and made them
resemble the Great Gazoo, a character on the
The Flintstones cartoon series.
In recent seasons, pitchers have said they
would try padded caps, provided they werent
too cumbersome.
You see guys get hit with line drives. I
know in the last couple of years there have
been several of them. So it happens. You
want to be wary of it, All-Star closer Glen
Perkins of the Minnesota Twins said.
Player safety is important. I think nding a
solution is good.
But by the sounds of what they have, I
dont know if thats entirely feasible to go
out there with basically a helmet on your
head and pitch. Without seeing it or trying it
on, I hate to make a blanket judgment. But
just thinking out loud, that seems a little bit
much. Just the bulkiness, he said.
In December 2012, MLB medical director
Dr. Gary Green presented ideas on protective
headgear to executives, doctors and trainers.
The prototypes under study included some
made of Kevlar, the high-impact material
often worn by military and law enforcement
and NFL players.
PITCHERS
SALEM, Ore. Conner Mertens, a red-
shirt freshman place kicker at Division III
Willamette, announced that he is bisexual,
saying he was tired of pretending he was
something he wasnt.
Mertens said Tuesday he also wanted to
help dispel the stereotypes and stigmas
associated with bisexual athletes.
It got to a point where I just got tired of
it, trying to hide who I was and trying to
pretend I was something I was not, he said.
Mertens, 19, announced his sexual orien-
tation to his teammates during a meeting on
Monday. A story about him appeared on
Outsports.com on Tuesday.
Coach Glen Fowles said the players were
overwhelmingly supportive of his decision.
Its been great to see the way our guys
have rallied around, Fowles said. For our
guys, Conner is just a kicker.
Team captain and junior inside linebacker
Jack Nelson said: It wasnt a big deal and
we were glad he felt comfortable to tell us.
Willamette issued a statement supporting
Mertens decision, saying the university
respects his contribution to a more humane
and just world.
Coach Fowles joked about how Mertens
rst approached him: He says, Coach, Im
really going to utilize this open door poli-
cy.
Mertens said he was humbled by the
response.
It sounds corny, but I legitimately feel
theres a weight off my shoulders. Its tiring
to pretend your something else for 24-7, for
18 or 19 years of your life, he said, So
nally to be able to joke about it, to be hon-
est about it, not have to put on this mask,
Im nally able to take a deep breath.
The Bearcats play in the Northwest
Conference. The team went 7-2 overall last
season and nished third in the league at 4-
2.
Mertens did not play his freshman season
because of a left knee injury. He will com-
pete with two other kickers on the Bearcats
roster.

Martin: Dolphins language
made him feel trapped
DAVIE, Fla. Tackle Jonathan
Martin says the persistence of vul-
gar language around the Miami
Dolphins made him feel trapped,
so he left the team before lodging
allegations at the root of a bully-
ing scandal.
Owner Stephen Ross said hes
proud of the way the franchise
responded to the case.
Martins comments, which aired
Tuesday on NBC Nightly News,
came in his rst interview since
the scandal broke. He left the
Dolphins in October and alleged
he was harassed daily by team-
mates, including guard Richie
Incognito, who was suspended for
the nal eight games.
Im a grown man, said Martin,
24. Ive been in locker rooms.
Theres vulgar language used in
locker rooms. One instance does-
nt bother me. Its the persistence
of it. I wish I would have had more
tools to solve my situation. I felt
trapped, like I didnt have a way to
make it right. It came down to a
point where I thought it was best
to remove myself from the situa-
tion.
New York attorney Ted Wells
began a league investigation in
November, and his report will be
released after the Super Bowl.
Ross, speaking at a news confer-
ence to introduce the Dolphins
new general manager, said he
spoke with the NFL and Wells to
get a sense of what will be included
in the report.

hand, seized its opportunities and made the Tigers pay.
They just outplayed us, said Terra Nova coach Ernie
Brockmeyer. Not a whole lot to say.
The rst half was evenly played, with both teams get-
ting good looks at goal. Half Moon Bay had the best
chance in the 37th minute when, following a scramble in
the Terra Nova penalty box, the ball was poked toward
the empty net. But Tigers defender Sara Acquisti recovered
and cleared the ball out of danger.
Two minutes later, the Tigers would not be so fortunate.
It was their inability to clear the ball away that resulted
in a Cougars goal minutes before halftime. With the ball
just outside the Terra Nova penalty box, Kimmie Odasz
ipped a pass into space. Natalie Strohm chested the ball
down and, in the next moment, hit a shot across her body
that beat the goalkeeper to the far right post for a 1-0
Half Moon Bay lead at halftime.
The Tigers started out fast in the second half, earning a
couple of free kicks that did not result in much.
Eight minutes into the second half, the Cougars doubled
their lead. With the ball bouncing loose deep in the
Tigers end, Odasz corralled it, beat the defender to the cor-
ner and cut in on goal. She made a cutback at the top of
the penalty box to lose her defender and create the space
necessary to get off a shot. She did and found the far right
corner of the net for a 2-0 Half Moon Bay lead.
And the Cougars did not let up.
We play high pressure all game, Moore said. We go
hard the whole game. We take pride in having the ttest
team (in the Ocean Division).
That constant pressure did not allow the Tigers to get
untracked. They had a couple counterattack opportuni-
ties, but could not nish.
The Cougars, meanwhile, all but put the game way with
their third goal in the 62nd minute. Off of a throw-in deep
in the Terra Nova end, the ball bounced into the penalty
box. The Tigers defense could not clear the ball cleanly
and Beau Hamada was there to poke the ball into the net
through trafc.
The rst time we played them, we didnt play well. We
played scared, Moore said of her teams 3-1 loss in the
league opener.
This was a great a win (Tuesday). Overall, we played a
solid game.
SOCCER
year. Aunion would also push for full medical coverage that
could carry over past college.
While the effort to form a union among college athletes
appears without precedent, there is a recent case that may help
their cause. More than 600 graduate teaching and research
assistants at New York University voted to form a union in
December and to afliate with the United Auto Workers. It was
the rst such union in the country to win recognition by a pri-
vate university.
For now, the push is to unionize college athletes is focused
only on private schools like Northwestern though large
public universities, which are subject to different sets of regu-
lations, could follow, said Huma, who is also the head of the
National College Players Association he founded in 2001 to
lobby for the interests of college athletes.
This will be the rst domino, Huma said.
If the players succeed, a union could fundamentally change
college sports, said Brian Rauch, a New York-based labor attor-
ney. He said it could raise the prospect of strike by disgruntled
players or lockouts by schools.
The NCAAhas been under increasing scrutiny over its ama-
teurism rules and is currently in court, ghting a class-action
federal lawsuit led by former players seeking a cut of the bil-
lions of dollars earned from live broadcasts and memorabilia
sales, along with video games, and multiple lawsuits led by
players who say the organization failed to adequately protect
them from debilitating head injuries.
NCAAPresident Mark Emmert and others have pushed for a
$2,000-per-player stipend to help athletes defray some of their
expenses, but critics say that isnt nearly enough and insults
players who help bring in millions of dollars to their schools
and conferences.
Last season, Colter and football players from Georgia and
Georgia Tech had the letters APU All Players United writ-
ten on their gear during games as a show of solidarity in an
effort organized by the NCPA. At the time, the NCAA said it
welcomed an open and civil debate regarding all aspects of
college athletics.
The NCAAissued a statement Tuesday making clear where it
stands on the athletes quest to form a union.
Student-athletes are not employees, NCAAchief legal of-
cer Donald Remy said. We are condent the National Labor
Relations Board will nd in our favor, as there is no right to
organize student-athletes.
He added: This union-backed attempt to turn student-ath-
letes into employees undermines the purpose of college: an
education.
Astatement from the Big Ten Conference echoed that, say-
ing it does not believe that full-time students participating in
intercollegiate athletics are employees.
That said, the Big Ten Conference has the utmost respect for
both the legal system and the rights of students to pursue their
beliefs through that system, the league said.
NLRB spokesman Gregory King conrmed that a petition by
the players to form a union was led at the board on Tuesday.
King said the board would likely conduct a hearing within the
next 10 days.
The key issue the board must resolve is whether the football
players are employees as dened by federal labor law, said
United Steelworkers ofcial Tim Waters. If theyre deemed
employees, he said, they would have the legal right to organ-
ize.
Its crystal clear that college football players are employ-
ees, he said, arguing most put in a 40-hour work week and cre-
ate revenue, though not for themselves. He and the
Steelworkers president, Leo W. Gerard, said the relationship
between colleges and athletes amounted to pay for play.
William B. Gould IV, a Stanford Law School professor emer-
itus and former NLRB chairman, predicted the board will rule
for the players.
The major obstacle is the Brown University decision of a
decade ago, he said, referring to a 2004 decision under a
George W. Bush-era board that removed the right of graduate
students at private universities to unionize.
The NLRB said in 2012 that it will reconsider Brown, and
Gould thinks it will be reversed.
I think these guys are employees because their compensa-
tion is unrelated to education, unlike the teaching assistants in
Brown University, and they are supervised not by faculty, but
by coaches, Gould said. Their program for which they
receive compensation does not have a fundamentally compo-
nent. So given the direction and control that supervisory
authorities have over them, I think they are easily employees
within the meaning of the act.
ATHLETES
doesnt strike out a lot.
Protecting Cook is former Terra Nova slugger Justin
Gubser, who is penciled in at the cleanup spot. He led the
team in doubles in 2013 and nished with a .299 batting
average. Maurice Fuller (Sacred Heart Cathedral) and Kody
Barden (Hillsdale) anchor down two of the outeld spots.
Both had solid freshmen seasons and are expected to carry
even more of the load this season.
Kyle Zirbes, also out of Menlo-Atherton, returns to the
top of the Caada order after playing two seasons ago and
redshirting last season.
He can really jump-start our offense, Lucca said.
Lucca also expects to get production out of Chris Miguel,
a redshirt third baseman out of Sacred Heart Cathedral, Jason
Marley, a freshman catcher/designated hitter out of
Carlmont, as well as Steven Gomez.
While the offense seems to be in good shape, the big
question mark is Caadas pitching. David Moody, out of
Half Moon Bay, is the only returning pitcher who threw
more than 50 innings last year. As a freshman, Moody was
the third man in the rotation behind Mitch Labbie and
Pierce Precht, who combined to 11 games last year.
If nothing else, Moody should provide some stability as
well the condence that goes along with posting a 5-2
record in nearly 60 innings of work in 2013.
Lucca, however, is especially high on sophomore redshirt
Sam Alton, a Sonoma Valley High School product who
played for City College of San Francisco two years ago.
Hes become our No. 1 starter, Lucca said of Alton.
Hes in the 86-87 range, good changeup, good slider.
Keeps the ball down and moves it around the plate.
Hes just really calm and has a good presence on the
mound. He got himself in pretty shape and he should have a
good year for us.

Chinese Cuisine
By Sara Moulton
Just in time for Valentines Day, heres
a luxurious little treat to make and serve
at home that may bring to mind your
most elite restaurant thrills. Its based
on the beggars purse, a signature appe-
tizer at the Quilted Giraffe, a ground-
breaking 80s-era New York City restau-
rant.
The beggars purse was a voluptuous
serving of Beluga caviar and sour cream
spooned onto the center of a crepe, the
ends of which were then gathered up and
tied with a bow of chive. The resulting
little bag with the pleats at the top
looked like a purse, but there was noth-
ing beggarly about its contents. It was
rich in all ways.
Caviar has been considered a decadent
treat for ages. About 200 years ago, the
United States produced so much of it,
saloons used to give it away for free
with a glass of beer. That changed, of
course. And as true sturgeon caviar (con-
sidered the very best) has become rarer,
the price has become steeper.
In recent decades, American-made
caviar has made a comeback. And the
quality is excellent. You can nd several
American sturgeon caviars as well as
many sh roes, such as salmon, trout,
whitesh, paddlesh and bown. Less
expensive than sturgeon caviar, theyre
all quite tasty, which makes them good
alternatives for the budget-minded.
This recipe is a Russian-leaning vari-
ation on the Quilted Giraffe original.
Ive replaced the crepes with blini, the
buckwheat pancakes on which the
Russians serve caviar. Ive also swapped
in low-fat sour cream for the full-fat
variety, and added smoked salmon to
bulk up the protein. Its still plenty
rich.
I added a little all-purpose our to the
blini; the buckwheat contributes hearty
avor to the dish, but it needs the gluten
of all-purpose to hold together. The
resulting pancake is a little thicker and
larger than a crepe, which means the
purse is a little larger than those served
at the Quilted Giraffe. Accordingly, it
takes two scrumptious bites, not one, to
polish off one of these delightful little
packages. Its not what Id call a prob-
lem.
SMOKED SALMON
AND CAVIAR BUNDLES
If the idea of bundling crepes into a
purse lled with salmon and caviar
seems daunting, you also can prepare
these as rolled cigars. Simply add the
llings to each crepe as directed, arrang-
ing them in a line down the center.
Starting on one side, roll the crepe and
llings up, then tie across the center
with a chive.
Start to nish: 1 1/2 hours (30 min-
utes active)
Makes 8 bundles
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons 1 percent
milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1/4 cup buckwheat our
2 tablespoons all-purpose our
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Hefty pinch of sugar
8 fresh chives
2 ounces smoked salmon, cut into
thin strips
1 ounce black American caviar or
salmon roe
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream or non-fat
plain Greek yogurt
Zest of 1 lemon
In a medium bowl, whisk together the
milk, egg and 2 1/2 teaspoons of the
oil. Add the buckwheat and all-purpose
ours, a pinch of salt, several grinds of
pepper and the sugar. Beat just until
combined. Cover and let rest at room
temperature for 1 hour.
In a small saucepan, bring several
inches of water to a boil. Add the chives
and cook for 10 seconds, or until just
wilted. Transfer them to a bowl of ice
water to cool, then pat dry with paper
towels. Set aside.
Brush a medium nonstick skillet with
a bit of the remaining oil, then heat the
pan over medium-high until hot. Add
1/8 cup of the batter, then quickly lift
and tip the pan to spread the batter even-
ly in a wide, thin circle. Let cook for 45
seconds to 1 minute, or until the batter
has set. Flip and cook on the second
side for about 30 seconds. Transfer the
crepe to a wire rack and repeat with the
remaining oil and batter to create 8
crepes.
Working with one crepe at a time, in
the center of each crepe, place an eighth
of the salmon, 1 teaspoon of the caviar,
a heaping teaspoon of the sour cream,
and a sprinkle of the lemon zest. Fold
the edges up over the llings to create a
bundle, then carefully tie it closed with
one of the chives. Repeat with the
remaining crepes and serve right away.

immunodeficiency syndrome and sexually
transmitted infections, including the fact
it only takes a cotton swab sample of sali-
va to test for HIV antibodies. Students at
Menlo-Atherton High School had a chance
to see the performance Monday.
Its engaging and students remember
it, said Menlo-Atherton Principal
Matthew Zito. Its not by middle-aged
teachers, its by young people approxi-
mately the same age or generation. All
the initiatives together can really rein-
force the message of safe sex or perhaps
even delaying sex and focusing on what we
want them to focus on, academics.
The play is consistently updated to stay
current with pop culture, he added. The fact
that the actors look and talk like the stu-
dents helps the high schoolers relate, said
Hannah Cordero, head of educational the-
ater programs for Kaiser. The story fol-
lows high schooler Eddie, who realizes
that a past experience has put him at risk
for HIV and other sexually transmitted
infections. Students are shown at school,
partying with red cups, visiting and call-
ing doctors. Current music is played in the
background of some scenes. It also deals
with communicating health concerns with
peers.
In addition to the play, schools like
Menlo-Atherton offer two weeks of the
Teen Talk sexual education program to
ninth-graders, which also works to better
educate students on their sexual health.
The districts programming is aimed to
give students exposure in a way thats con-
temporary, interactive and entertaining,
Zito said.
Its a more progressive and explicit sex
ed program, Zito said. Its kind of a dif-
ferent world. Theres a more fluid sense of
gender roles and identities. The 1950s
truly are over.
Zito said the school is working with the
county to offer better quality reproductive
services on site since students are reluctant
to use them within the community.
Theres a real lack of information and
access to reproductive health services,
especially for students from East Palo
Alto, he said. We do have students who
are sexually active at 14 or 15 and need to
get them information as quickly as possi-
ble. What happens in middle school is dif-
ferent than 30 years ago. Sex activities
that arent quite intercourse are happening
at ages they didnt before in the sev-
enth- and eighth-grades.
Although pregnancy rates are down
countywide, sexually transmitted infec-
tion rates are up, said Karen Li, wellness
coordinator for the school district. This is
particularly true for the southern part of
the county, Zito said.
The highest rates of HIV cases are seen
in zip codes pertaining to the northern
part of San Mateo County, San Mateo,
Redwood City and East Palo Alto in 2012.
In the county, there were 1,782 cases of
chlamydia trachomatis, gonorrhea rates
increased for men and women during the
year and there were 510 cases of chronic
hepatitis B virus and 403 cases of chronic
hepatitis C virus reported, according to a
2012 annual county report.
Abi Karlin-Resnick, executive director
of Teen Talk, said consistency is impor-
tant for sex ed, making sure throughout
adolescence kids are getting the same mes-
sage multiple times, in different formats
from different people.
Aperformance of Secrets took place at
the school Monday and will also be at
Carlmont High School May 8. The play
was put on for students at Woodside High
School the week of Jan. 20. The district is
still scheduling a performance for Sequoia
High School.

NAPA With California in the grips of
severe drought, Napa Valley wine grape
growers on Tuesday said some vines are
ripening early and that farmers are planning
fewer crops to save water.
Vineyard owners are pruning earlier than
usual and on a shorter schedule, Domenick
Bianco of Renteria Vineyard Management
said.
If the Valley does not see late winter or
spring rains, 2014 will yield a smaller crop.
Water amount determines yield. If you
use 80 percent less water than last year, you
could see 80 percent of the crop, Bianco
said.
Still, unlike other areas, some Napa grow-
ers say access to water in underground
aquifers will help them irrigate crops even if
rains are light through this year.
While it will not make up for rainfall, it
can help mitigate the loss of yield to dry
weather in the short-term, said Hal
Huffsmith, director of vineyard operations
at Trinchero Family Estates.
Because rains may still come, it is too
early to tell if the drought will affect the
retail price of Napa wines, said Jennifer
Putnam, executive director of Napa Valley
Grapegrowers.
Meantime, growers will reduce the amount
of irrigation they do to conserve water.
They will also not plant so-called ground
cover, or smaller plants that live between
vines to help with erosion, and the elds of
lush green vines so many are used to seeing
in the valley will be pared down.

orscht is woefully underappreciat-
ed in America. This classic dish
from Russia (and much of Eastern
Europe, in fact) not only is a great way to
eat a ton of vegetables, it also can be
incredibly delicious.
But it generally has a bad reputation.
People think of it as a cold, stringy and
mostly bland soup. While it can be served
cold, thats by no means the rule. And as
for the stringy and bland part, no way.
Borscht can get a stringy or mushy texture
if its overcooked. But so can pasta, so its
really just a matter of paying attention.
And if youve had a bland borscht, you
just havent had a good one. The key is to
start it off right a nicely sauteed onion
and spicy pork sausage. They add tons of
avor and a great hit of protein that makes
this a substantial soup that can stand in as
full meal. Dill and fennel seeds also amp
the avor. Round it out with fresh dill and
sour cream, and youll learn to love
borscht as an easy weeknight meal.

In a large saucepan

lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the
fennel and dill seeds and cook for another
30 seconds. Add the stock and bring to a
simmer.
While the stock heats, t a food proces-
sor with the large grating attachment.
Grate the beets. Add the beets and any liq-
uid in the processor to the pan. Bring to a
simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Season
with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and

WASHINGTON Michelle Obama has
a new partner in her campaign to get kids
to eat more fruits and vegetables.
The Subway sandwich chain will spend
$41 million over three years to encourage
them to eat more food that doesnt come
from a box, the first lady announced
Thursday at one of the Connecticut-based
companys restaurants just north of the
White House.
Subway will also offer a kids menu that
mirrors federal standards for school
lunches, including offering apples on the
side and low-fat or nonfat plain milk or
water as a default beverage.
Speaking as a parent, Mrs. Obama said
Subways commitment will help moms
and dads choose healthy food for their
kids. Its kids menu will help eliminate
the worry some parents feel about the
choices they have to make when eating
out, she said.
Every single item meets the highest
nutrition standards, the first lady said
before she went to the counter and ordered
a turkey on whole wheat bread with
spinach, peppers, and oil and vinegar
dressing. She paid the $4.40 tab with a
$20 bill and scarfed down her lunch while
chatting with a group of local elementary
school students who had been invited for
the announcement.

rarely been higher, and those at the top
have never done better. But average
wages have barely budged. Inequality
has deepened. Upward mobility has
stalled.
THE FACTS: The most recent evi-
dence suggests that mobility hasnt
worsened. Ateam of economists led by
Harvards Raj Chetty released a study
last week that found the United States
isnt any less socially mobile than it
was in the 1970s. Looking at children
born between 1971 and 1993, the
economists found that the odds of a
child born in the poorest 20 percent of
families making it into the top 20 per-
cent hasnt changed.
We nd that children entering the
labor market today have the same
chances of moving up in the income
distribution (relative to their parents)
as children born in the 1970s, the
authors said.
Still, other research has found that
the United States isnt as mobile a
society as most Americans would like
to believe. In a study of 22 countries,
economist Miles Corak of the
University of Ottawa found that the
United States ranked 15th in social
mobility. Only Italy and Britain
among wealthy countries ranked
lower. By some measures, children in
the United States are as likely to inher-
it their parents economic status as
their height.
OBAMA: Well need Congress to
protect more than 3 million jobs by
finishing transportation and water-
ways bills this summer. But I will act
on my own to slash bureaucracy and
streamline the permitting process for
key projects, so we can get more con-
struction workers on the job as fast as
possible.
THE FACTS: Cutting rules and reg-
ulations doesnt address whats hold-
ing up most transportation projects,
which is lack of money. The federal
Highway Trust Fund will run out of
money in August without action. To
nance infrastructure projects, Obama
wants Congress to raise taxes on busi-
nesses that keep prots or jobs over-
seas, but that idea has been a political
nonstarter.
The number of projects affected by
the administrations efforts to cut red
tape is relatively small, said Joshua
Schank, president and CEO of the Eno
Center for Transportation, a think
tank. The reason most of these proj-
ects are delayed is they dont have
enough money. So its great that you
are expediting the review process, but
the review process isnt the problem.
The problem is we dont have enough
money to invest in our infrastructure
in the rst place.
OBAMA: In the coming weeks, I
will issue an executive order requiring
federal contractors to pay their federal-
ly funded employees a fair wage of at
least $10.10 an hour, because if you
cook our troops meals or wash their
dishes, you shouldnt have to live in
poverty.
THE FACTS: This would be a hefty
boost in the federal minimum wage,
now $7.25, but not many would see it.
Most employees of federal contrac-
tors already earn more than $10.10.
About 10 percent of those workers,
roughly 200,000, might be covered by
the higher minimum wage. But there are
several wrinkles. The increase would
not take effect until 2015 at the earliest
and it doesnt apply to existing federal
contracts, only new ones. Renewed
contracts also will be exempt from
Obamas order unless other terms of the
agreement change, such as the type of
work or number of employees needed.
Obama also said hell press
Congress to raise the federal minimum
wage overall. He tried that last year,
seeking a $9 minimum, but Congress
didnt act.
REP. CATHY McMORRIS
RODGERS of Washi ngton, i n her
prepared Republican res pons e:
Last month, more Americans stopped
looking for a job than found one. Too
many people are falling further and fur-
ther behind because, right now, the
presidents policies are making peo-
ples lives harder.
THE FACTS: She leaves out a sig-
nicant factor in the high number of
people who arent looking for jobs:
Baby boomers are retiring.
Its true that a large part of the still-
high unemployment rate is due to job-
less workers who have given up look-
ing for a job. There are roughly three
people seeking every job opening, a
circumstance that can discourage oth-
ers from trying. But one big reason
people arent seeking employment is
that there are so many boomers the
generation born in the immediate
aftermath of World War II and there-
fore more than the usual number of
retirements.
As of December, the economy had
gained 3,246,000 jobs since Obama
took ofce in January 2009. When he
was inaugurated, the unemployment
rate was 7.8 percent and on the rise. It
peaked at 10 percent in October 2009
and has been inching down ever since,
to 6.7 percent this past December.
FACTS
historic overhaul of the health care
system.
Obama isnt closing off further con-
gressional action: He renewed his calls
for legislation on immigration reform,
extending unemployment benefits,
boosting the minimum wage for all
workers and bolstering preschool pro-
grams. And he added new items to his
congressional wish list, including a
call to expand the earned income tax
credit to workers without children.
But Obama knows congressional
Republicans are even less likely to
cooperate this year than they were in
2013, which has largely been written
off as a lost year. And that knowledge
is giving him a new sense of urgency.
The White House announced
Obamas rst new unilateral action
raising the minimum wage for newly
hired federal contract workers even
before he began speaking.
It quickly drew derision from
Republicans. House Speaker John
Boehner stressed that the change
would affect only new contracts and
predicted the number of workers affect-
ed would be somewhere close to
zero.
Still, small steps may be a better t
for these times than grand legislative
proposals that would likely stall.
The economy is better, even if not
everyones feeling it yet. The unem-
ployment rate is lower, even if 6.7 per-
cent still isnt great. The health care
law is taking effect, even if its caus-
ing heartburn for plenty of Americans.
The president had a ne line to walk
in his speech: projecting the opti-
mism and energy that dispirited mem-
bers of his party, and the public at
large, are hungry for without over-
promising at a time when his inuence
is sure to wane.
This can be a breakthrough year for
America, he declared.
Obama tempered that optimistic
assessment with an open question to
lawmakers: The question for everyone
in this chamber, running through
every decision we make this year, is
whether we are going to help or hinder
this progress.
With Congress unlikely to deal on
most issues, Obama must keep expec-
tations low, without putting people
into a funk.
If theyre not already there, that is.
Polls show people are pessimistic
about the countrys direction and the
condition of the economy. Seventy
percent think unemployment will stay
the same or get worse in the next year.
As for Obama himself, both his
supporters and his opponents are wor-
ried that he has lost his enthusiasm and
his energy for the political contest,
said Calvin Jillson, a presidential
scholar at Southern Methodist
University.
Jillson pointed to Obamas own
comments in a recent interview that
hes overexposed and that its natu-
ral for people to want something new
after six, seven years of me being on
the national stage.
But Obama insists that with three
more years in the Oval Ofce, hes still
passionate about the issues that mat-
ter.

HAVANA Cuban President Raul
Castro called on Latin American and
Caribbean leaders Tuesday to work
together on pressing regional problems
at a gathering of all Western Hemisphere
nations except the U.S. and Canada.
In his keynote speech as host for the
summit of the Community of Latin
American and Caribbean States, or
CELAC for its initials in Spanish,
Castro argued that the bloc should aspire
to unity despite diversity, describing it
as the legitimate representative of the
interests of Latin America and the
Caribbean.
We should establish a new regional
and international cooperation para-
digm, Castro said. In the context of
CELAC, we have the possibility to cre-
ate a model of our own making, adapted
to our realities, based on the principles
of mutual benet.
The summits main theme is ghting
poverty, inequality
and hunger.
According to the
U.N.s Economic
Commission for
Latin America and
the Caribbean, 28
percent of the
regions inhabitants
live in poverty and
11 percent in
extreme poverty.
Tuesdays session of heads of CELAC
states began with one minute of silence
to remember the late Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez, who succumbed
to cancer last March.
Chavez, an outspoken U.S. foe, was a
driving force behind CELACs creation
in 2011. It was conceived as an alterna-
tive to the Washington-based
Organization of American States, which
suspended Cubas membership in 1962
shortly after Fidel Castros revolution.
Proponents argued the OAS has histor-
ically served Washingtons interests
rather than those of the region, and even
Latin American allies of the United
States have participated enthusiastically
in CELAC.
OAS Secretary-General Jose Miguel
Insulza attended the summit Tuesday as
an observer, believed to be the rst visit
by a secretary-general to Cuba since its
founding in 1948.
The integration of Latin America is a
strategic project. ... CELAC does not
impede bilateral relations within and
outside of the region. On the contrary, it
strengthens them, Brazilian President
Dilma Rousseff said in an evening
address.
In his wide-ranging speech, Castro
touched on the risk that global climate
change poses to the region, especially
low-lying Caribbean islands. He
expressed solidarity for Argentinas
claim to the British-controlled Falkland
Islands, known in Spanish as the
Malvinas; for Puerto Rican independ-
ence; and for Ecuador in its legal battle
with U.S. oil company Chevron.
Cubas Castro calls for integration free of U.S.
A more-controlled Morsi appears in Egyptian court
CAIRO The second court appearance for ousted
President Mohammed Morsi was very different from his rst:
He wore a white prison uniform Tuesday instead of a trim dark
suit. And when the Islamist leader wanted to speak, a judge
controlled his microphone in the soundproof glass cell.
The session was carefully managed by authorities, with
state TV showing only edited excerpts, not a planned live
feed, as the military-backed interim government and allied
media sought to control the narrative of Egypts political
turmoil following the Arab Spring.
