County hasfirst deathfrom the fluMultiple deathsreported in BaySTAFF AND WIRE REPORT

The first San Mateo County flu-related death of the season was

reported Thursday, according tohealth officials.

A woman in her 40s died aftercontracting the flu and there havebeen six other flu-related intensivecare hospitalizations in the coun-ty, San Mateo County health offi-cials said.

“While the deceased did havesome underlying medical condi-tions, it’s important to understandthat people without underlyingmedical problems can still have asevere case of influenza that canlead to hospitalization and possi-bly death,” said Robyn Thaw,spokeswoman for the San MateoCounty Health System.

Health officials urge the publicthat it’s not too late to get vacci-nated in defense of this year’s fluseason.

The H1N1 influenza strain,known as “swine flu” when it firstemerged in 2009, appears to be themain strain afflicting people thisflu season, according to San MateoCounty health officials.

There have been nine confirmedflu-related deaths throughout theBay Area in recent weeks.

On Thursday, Santa Clara Countyhealth officials announced a sec-ond flu-related death and SanFrancisco health officialsannounced a man died at the end of December. Two recent deaths inMarin County have been linked tothe flu and another two in SantaCruz County are suspected of beingflu-related, public health officialssaid Wednesday.

Both were hospitalized in inten-sive care, and neither had receiveda flu vaccine, Willis said.

“We are still several weeks awayfrom the peak of flu season,” Dr.Scott Morrow, health officer forSan Mateo County, said in a press

SACRAMENTO — Arobust eco-nomic recovery and surging rev-enue propelled by voter-approvedtax increases have sent

California’s gen-eral fund spendingto a record high,marking a dramat-ic turn-aroundfrom the state’sdays as thenation’s poster

Record high budget

By Angela SwartzDAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Local school officials are some-what happy Gov. Jerry Brown’sbudget proposal calls for anincrease in education funding, but

are still waiting for the final ver-sion and believe there could bemore done for public schools.

“I’m thrilled with the additionalfunding to education,” said CarrieDu Bois, trustee for the SequoiaUnion High School District. “It’s

much needed. California still has along way to go for funding, butI’m thrilled the governor under-

stands the importance of publiceducation.”

Budget adds education fundingLocal officials have mixed feelings about governor’s proposal

SPENDING:• General fund spending:$106.8 billion.• Total spending:$154.9 billion,including from bondfunds and special funds that are dedicated to aspecific program.MAIN GENERAL FUND REVENUE SOURCES:• $69.7 billion, personal income tax;that includes$10.5 billion from capital gains,an amount that was just $3 billion during the 2009-10 fiscal year.• $24 billion,sales and use tax.• $8.7 billion,corporation tax.• $2.3 billion,insurance tax.K-12 EDUCATION SPENDING• $45.2 billion from the general fund,an increase of nearly $4 billion,or 9 percent,over the current year.• Total per pupil spending will rise to $12,833, anincrease of $848 over the current year.• The budget eliminates all remaining debt owed topublic schools from the general fund;deferrals fromK-12 funding to fill previous budget gap reached ahigh of $9.5 billion in the 2011-12 fiscal year.

• Average daily attendance in the state’s publicschools is expected to decline by 7,000 students inthe 2014-15 fiscal year, to a total of 5,956,130.Thatdrop will result in a decrease of $43 million going tocounty offices of education and school districts.HIGHER EDUCATION• University of California (243,000 students):$2.9billion in general fund spending,a 5 percent increase.• California State University (430,000 students):$2.9billion in general fund spending, a 6.3 percentincrease.• Community colleges (2.3 million students): $7.2billion in general fund spending, a 7.3 percentincrease.HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES• $28.8 billion in general fund spending,an increaseof 1.6 percent.• Total spending,from the general fund and othersources,such as the federal government,will grow forall HHS programs.That includes:2.6 percent for theDepartment of Public Health; 3.2 percent forCalWORKs,the state’s welfare-to-work program;6.1percent for in-home supportive services;4.4 percentfor development services;2.4 percent for children’sservices;and 1.4 percent for state hospitals.TRANSPORTATION The budget includes repaying $351 millionborrowed from the state’s transportation fund forroad maintenance.Transportation industry groups

are pushing a proposed ballot initiative to requirerepayment of the money or establish a new taxstream to pay for road improvements. Brown’sbudget calls for the repayment to be allocated alongthe following priorities:• $110 million for “pavement rehabilitation”on statehighways.• $100 million to cities and counties to preserve localstreets and roads.• $100 million for traffic management .• $27 million to maintain highway pavement.• $9 million for “active transportation projects.”• $5 million for environmental mitigation.HIGH-SPEED RAIL• The governor is proposing to direct $250 million inproceeds from the cap-and-trade,greenhouse gasemission fees to the high-speed rail project.Thebullet train has faced legal setbacks and is in a bindbecause it cannot currently sell some $9 billion invoter-approved bonds. Brown’s budget says thefunding is “critical to addressing the overall fundingneeds”for the first leg of the project in the CentralValley, for “leveraging additional fundingopportunities,and moving the project forward whilelegal issues surrounding Proposition 1A are beingresolved.”OTHER SPENDING• Corrections and Rehabilitation, $9.5 billion,an

increase of 2.1 percent.• Natural Resources, $2.1 billion, an increase of 2.3percent.• $815 million for critical deferred maintenance instate parks, highways,local streets and roads, K-12schools,community colleges,courts, prisons,statehospitals,and other state facilities.• $619 million to expand water storage capacity,improve drinking water in communities whereavailable supplies are substandard and increase floodprotection.• $850 million from proceeds in the cap-and-trade,greenhouse gas reduction program for a variety of environmental priorities.That includes $250 millionfor the high-speed rail project that Brown haschampioned.The budget says the money dedicatedtoward environmental programs will modernize thestate’s railways,encourage sustainable development,reduce harmful air emissions and increase energy,water and agricultural efficiency.RAINY-DAY FUNDBrown’s budget proposes funneling $1.6 billion intoa rainy-day fund and proposes a new constitutionalamendment to strengthen the existing one.Such a proposal already is scheduled to go beforevoters in November,but Brown said ACA4, whichwas pushed back from the November 2012 ballot,would not give the state enough flexibility to pay

down debt and liabilities.He also said it does notaddress volatile school funding requirements andbases the amount the state would need to pay intothe fund on historical revenue rather than spikes incapital gains.

Homes planned in open spaceAthird-generation Hillsborough

resident was seeking to build 25homes on his 48-acre estate nearCrystal Springs Reservoir, raisingconcerns about the wildlife and openspace Peninsula residents have longtaken for granted, it was reportedthe week of Jan. 10, 2009.

Christian de GuigneIV submitted a pro-posal to the town of Hillsborough Dec.30, 2008 and planneda public meeting to share the

specifics of the plan. The proper-ty is nestled between Crystal SpringsRoad and Parrott Drive and is borderedby the city of San Mateo to the east.It is considered by some as the lastgreat family estate on theMidpeninsula.

“There are still some in Woodside.If you’re talking about anythingclose to San Mateo, it probably is thelast,” said Mitch Postel, executivedirector of the San Mateo HistoricalSociety.

The property is a common sight forpeople traveling on Crystal SpringsRoad going to or from Camp SawyerTrail near the reservoir and is consid-ered home to a unique habitat of wildlife.

Unmarked buckets cause scareThe contents of three unmarked

buckets found near Interstate 380 inSan Bruno the week of Jan. 10, 2009,were determined to be safe, emergencyofficials said.

The first bucket, anorange container resem-bling a paint bucket, wasreported around 1:15 p.m.

on Friday of that week on

Seventh Street under theInterstate 380 overpass in San Bruno.San Bruno police and fire personn el,and a hazardous materials crewresponded to the incident.

Motor oil was determined to be thecontents of the 5-gallon bucket. Twoother buckets were then found nearby,one of which contained paint andanother that contained water sealer.

Gunmen raid houseThree men armed with guns robbed

two people while they were home inSan Mateo the week of Jan. 10, 2009.

San Mateo police were called to ahouse in the 1700 block of DeweyStreet on reports of a home invasionrobbery at approximately 4:30 p.m.

on Friday of that week. At least twopeople were in the house when threemen armed with a shotgun and hand-gun entered the house, police said.

Wall Street slidesThe first full week of 2009 didn’t

bring Wall Street any huge shocks,but it didn’t bring much for investorsbe happy about, either.

Ajump in unemploymentsent stocks sharply lower theweek of Jan. 10, 2009, asinvestors feared thatAmericans won’t soon deviate

from their tightened budgets. The

Dow Jones industrial average fell 143points to end the week down nearly 5percent, its worst week sinceNovember.

The Labor Department’s much-anticipated report showed employerscut 524,000 jobs in December, asmaller decline than the loss of 550,000 jobs economists forecast.But the unemployment rate jumped toa 16-year high of 7.2 percent — morethan the 7 percent economists pre-dicted — from 6.8 percent inNovember.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Ahuman trafficking suspect who had beenon the lam for 11 months since his twoalleged accomplices were arrested for prosti-tuting four women in a South San Franciscomotel is in custody and charged with similarcrimes.

Andrew Leenalls Jordan, 24, postponed aplea to felony human trafficking until afterthe court appoints an attorney and returnsfor further arraignment Jan. 22. Meanwhile,Maria Carolina Jiminez and Sate StalloneJones, both 25 and of San Francisco, have

already pleaded not guilty and are facing jury trial s.

All three suspects are accused of prostitut-ing four women, including one underagegirl, at the La Quinta Inn in South San

Francisco last February. A man later identi-fied as Jones reportedly dropped off twowomen one night and two women the nextbetween Feb. 15 and Feb. 16. The womenreportedly told police the couple gave themillegal drugs to keep them working all nightand sometimes deprived them of food. Whenthe man returned with a woman, identified as

Jiminez, to collect the four others, theywere arrested. Police credit a quick-thinkingclerk who’d undergone training about recog-nizing human trafficking.

A third suspect, now identified as Jordan,

escaped and remained at large until his arrestJan. 7.All three face decades in prison under a

new human trafficking sentencing lawpassed by voters.

Jordan remains in custody on $1 millionbail. Jones is held on $350,000 whileJiminez is free on the same bail amount.

Claim filed for girlrun over after plane crash

The parents of a teenage girl who was runover and killed by two emergency vehiclesafter an Asiana Airlines crash have filed aclaim against the city of San Francisco, say-ing rescuers were reckless and poorly trained.

In legal forms filed this week in San

Francisco, attorneys for the parents of 16-

year-old Ye Meng Yuan say firefighters whofirst saw the girl after the July 6 crash shouldhave examined her and moved her somewheresafe. Firefighters told investigators theyassumed the girl was dead and hurried ontoward the damaged aircraft.

An autopsy revealed Yuan was alive before

the vehicles hit her.In all, 304 of the 307 people aboard the

plane survived after the airliner slammed intoa seawall at the end of a runway during finalapproach for landing.

The impact ripped off the back of theplane, tossed out three flight attendants andtheir seats, and scattered pieces of the jetacross the runway as it spun and skidded to astop.

Alleged human trafficking cohort charged

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A teen carjacking suspect accused of kid-napping a car seller with a fake gun and driv-ing the bound man around Daly City whiledemanding his pink slip was immediatelysentenced to 20 years in prison after plead-ing no contest to multiple felonies.

Jeremy Jenkins, 21, has credit of roughlytwo years against his two-decade term on 11charges including carjacking, robbery,felony threats, kidnapping, assault, falseimprisonment and attempted felony impris-onment.

Prosecutors say Jenkins carjacked the sell-

er of a Mustang after responding to the man’sCraigslist ad April 23, 2012. After returningto the Daly City BART station from the testdrive, Jenkins allegedly pulled a replicahandgun and ordered the 26-year-old man tohandcuff himself. Jenkins pulled a pillow-case over the man’s head and placed him inthe back seat and demanded the pink slip,according to the District Attorney’s Office.

When the man said the pink slip was athome, Jenkins allegedly drove around for20 minutes before pulling into a garage andhaving the man call his mother. Thewoman, sensing something was amiss whenasked to bring the pink slip to the BARTstation, c alled 911. The police waited at the

BART parking lot and, when Jenkinsarrived, detained him at gunpoint. After hisarrest, Jenkins told authorities he made “astupid mistake,” according to prosecutors.

After his arrest, Jenkins’ defense ques-tioned his competency but two of threecourt-appointed doctors found him able toaid in his own defense.

SACRAMENTO — Gov. JerryBrown said he would meetThursday with his recently formeddrought task force to determine if an emergency declaration is nec-essary as California faces a seriouswater shortage.

He said he would “do everythingthat is humanly possible” to makesure the state’s water reserves areused efficiently but noted that evena formal drought declaration hasits limits.

“Governors can’t make it rain,”he told reporters during a briefingon his state budget proposal.

Reservoirs in the state havedipped to historic lows after oneof the driest calendar years on

record. The first Sierra snow sur-vey of the year last week recorded

just 20 percent of average watercontent for this time of year.

State water managers have saidthey expect to deliver just 5 per-cent of the water sought by agen-cies that supply more than 25 mil-lion Californians and nearly a mil-lion acres of irrigated farmland.

Several communities alreadyhave imposed mandatory waterreductions. This week, MendocinoCounty became the first to requeststate drought assistance, citing animminent threat of disaster.

Farmers also are taking steps to

prepare for a severe reduction inwater during the summer growing

season, conditions that couldforce them to fallow crops and selloff livestock. That has the poten-tial to affect the nation’s food sup-ply because California’s CentralValley is one of the country’smost important food-producingregions.

Brown, a Democrat, said he isaware of the problems caused bythe dry conditions, noting that hedealt with the state’s last majordrought, in 1976 and 1977, duringhis first tour in the governor’soffice.

“We’ll take whatever steps wecan, in collaboration with the

state’s farmers, to deal with water,and also the urban people have todo their part,” he said. “But don’tthink that a paper from the gover-nor’s office is going to affect therain.”

U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein andRep. Jim Costa, both Democratsfrom California, last month calledon Brown to immediately declare adrought and to request a broademergency declaration fromPresident Barack Obama, whichwould expedite some water trans-fers, provide financial assistance

and suspend some state and federalregulations.

LOS ANGELES — Oil and gascompanies that are fracking off the Southern California coastmust report chemicals dischargedinto the ocean under a new rule

released Thursday by federal envi-ronmental regulators. The U.S.Environmental Protection Agencypublished the requirement in theFederal Register, and it willbecome effective March 1.

The move comes after a series of

stories by the Associated Presslast year revealed at least a dozenoffshore frack jobs in the SantaBarbara Channel, and more than200 in nearshore waters overseenby the state of California.

Hydraulic fracturing, which

involves pumping huge amountsof sand, water and chemicals deepunderground to release oil, wasconducted with no separate envi-ronmental analysis of the frack-ing chemicals on the sea surround-ings, and little or no oversight.

Insurance companies are still trying tosort out cases of so-called health insuranceorphans, customers for whom the govern-ment has a record that they enrolled, but theinsurer does not.

Government officials say the problem isreal but under control, with orphan recordsbeing among the roughly 13,000 problemcases they are trying to resolve with insur-ers. But insurance companies are worried theprocess will grow more cumbersome as theydeal with the flood of new customers whosigned up in December as enrollment dead-lines neared.

More than 1 million people have signedup through the federal insurance market thatserves 36 states. Officials contend the errorrate for new signups is close to zero.

Insurers, however, are less enthusiasticabout the pace of the fixes. The companiesalso are seeing cases in which the govern-ment has assigned the same identificationnumber to more than one person, as well asso-called “ghost” files in which the insurer

has an enrollment record but the govern-ment does not.But orphaned files — when the insurer has

no record of enrollment — are particularlyconcerning because the companies have noautomated way to identify the presumed pol-icyholder. They say they have to manuallycompare the lists of enrollees the govern-ment sends them with their own records

because the government never built an auto-mated system that would do the work muchfaster.

“It’s an ongoing concern,” said RobertZirkelbach, a spokesman for the industrytrade group America’s Health InsurancePlans. “Health plans can’t process enroll-ments they haven’t received from theexchange.”

Julie Bataille, communications directorfor the federal health care rollout, disputesthe industry’s view.

“We have fixed the issues that we knewwere a problem, and we are now seeing near-ly zero errors in the work moving forward,”she said.

A federal “reconciliation” team, includingtechnicians, deals directly with more than300 insurers to resolve signup problems,she said, while the government’s call centerhas caseworkers to help consumers directly.

Insurers use the term “orphan” for theproblematic files because they are referringto customers who have yet to find a homewith the carrier they selected. The files havecropped up since enrollment began last fallthrough Hea lthCare.gov. The site was downan estimated 60 percent of the time inOctober.

Since then, the front-end interactionbetween customers and the website haslargely been fixed.

But insurers worry that the back-end prob-

lems will grow more acute as they processthe wave of customers who signed up at theend of 2013. More than 2 million peoplehad enrolled by the end of the year, eitherthrough HealthCare.gov or state-run web-sites.

Aetna spokeswoman Susan Millerick saidorphaned files were “manageable over theshort term.”

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obamais still grappling with key decisions on thefuture of the National Security Agency’sphone collection program and the makeup of the secret court that approved the surveil-lance, lawmakers said Thursday following a90-minute meeting at the White House.

Obama is expected to back tighter restric-tions on foreign leader spying and also isconsidering a presidential commission’srecommendation to strip the NSA of its abil-ity to store telephone records from millionsof Americans. The president could announcehis final decisions as early as next week.

“The president and his administration are

wrestling with the issues,” Sen. Ron Wyden,an Oregon Democrat and privacy advocate,said after the meeting. “It’s fair to say thatthe next few weeks are going to be crunchtime in terms of judgments being made inboth the administration and the Congress.”

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said the meet-ing focused in particular on the telephonedata program and the Foreign IntelligenceSurveillance Court.

The president also met this week with histop intelligence advisers, many of whomoppose changes to the NSA programs, and areview group appointed by Congress that isworking on a report focused on the surveil-lance systems. Privacy advocates met withsenior White House staff Thursday after-noon, and technology companies have beeninvited to a meeting on Friday.

The president’s decisions will test how farhe is willing to go in scaling back the NSA’sbroad surveillance powers. A presidentialcommission handed him more than 40 rec-ommendations, many of which were moresweeping than expected. However, Obama isnot obligated to accept any of the panel’sproposals.

On Thursday, FBI Director James Comeytold reporters he disagrees with a recommen-

dation that would requirethe Foreign IntelligenceSurveillance Court toapprove the bureau’s useof national security let-ters. The letters are legaldemands for informationas part of an ongoinginvestigation, such asdemanding the phonerecords of a suspected ter-rorist inside the U.S.

Opponents of involving the court in thatprocess argue that it would make it more dif-ficult for the FBI to conduct a national secu-rity investigation than to conduct a bankfraud case.

While Obama’s upcoming decision is

highly-anticipated, the White House indicat-ed it may not be his final word on the mat-ters. Obama spokesman Jay Carney said thatwhile the president is likely to want somechanges implemented right away, “there maybe some that would require further review.”

Congress will likely have to approvesome of Obama’s reforms, particularly if hemakes changes to the phone collection pro-gram.

The presidential review group recommend-ed not only moving storage of phone recordsback to the phone companies or a thirdparty, but also mandating that the NSAobtain separate court approval for eachrecord search. There would be exceptions inthe case of national security emergencies.

It’s unclear whether Obama will ultimatelyback the proposal or how quickly it could becarried out if he does.

People familiar with the White Housereview say Obama is expected to announcesteps to rein in spying on friendly foreignleaders. That includes increased oversight of the National Intelligence PrioritiesFramework, a classified document that ranksU.S. intelligence-gathering priorities and isused to make decisions on scrutiny of for-eign leaders.

WASHINGTON — Legislation to res-urrect long-term jobless legislationstalled in the Senate on Thursday, trig-gering recriminations from both sides

of the political aisle despite earlierexpressions of optimism that benefitsmight soon be restored for more than 1million victims of the recession.

Gridlock asserted itself after majorityDemocrats offered to pay for a 10-month extension of a scaled-back pro-gram of benefits — then refused to per-mit Republicans even to seek anychanges.

Instead, Majority Leader Harry Reid,D-Nev., accused Republicans of “con-tinually denigrating our economy, ourpresident and frankly, I believe, ourcountry.”

But Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana, oneof a half-dozen Republicans whohelped advance the bill over an initialhurdle earlier in the week, said he had-

n’t been consulted on any compromise.Echoing complaints by other mem-

bers of his party, hesaid that under Reid’sleadership he hasbeen relegated to thesidelines. Indianavoters “didn’t sendme here to be told

just to sit down andforget it,” he said.

At issue was astruggle over thepossible resurrec-

tion of a program that expired on Dec.28, immediately cutting off benefits of roughly $256 weekly for more than 1.3million hurt by the recession.

The measure is the first to comebefore the Senate in the election year,and since Monday has become groundzero of a competition between thepolitical parties to appeal to hard-hitvictims of the longest recession inmore than a half-century.

While unemployment has receded inrecent months, long-term jobless ishigh by historical standards.

Despite the squabbling, lawmakersin both parties said the effort to find acompromise would continue.

“We’re still trying to work throughthis,” said Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I.,whose state has 9 percent unemploy-ment.

At midday Thursday, Reid hadexpressed optimism about the chancesfor compromise, and Democratic offi-cials said talks with Republicans werefocused on a scaled-back program thatis fully paid for and would provide upto 31 weeks of benefits for the long-term unemployed.

The officials said the proposal wouldrun through the late fall, and the pricetag — approximately $18 billion —would be offset through cuts elsewherein the budget so deficits would notrise.

Reid told reporters he was “cautious-ly optimistic” about a compromiseemerging later in the day, and said hehad held meetings with fellowNevadan Dean Heller, a Republican,but provided no details.

But midafternoon, when Reid for-mally outlined the proposal, there wasno evident Republican support for it,

and each side accused the other of anunwillingness to compromise.

TRENTON, N.J. — Republican Gov.Chris Christie fired one of his top aideson Thursday and apologized repeatedlyfor his staff’s “stupid” behavior, insist-ing during a nearly two-hour news con-ference that he had no idea anyonearound him had engineered traffic jamsas part of a political vendetta against aDemocratic mayor.

“I am embarrassed and humiliated bythe conduct of some of the people on myteam,” Christie said as he addressed thewidening scandal, which could cast ashadow over his expected run for theWhite House in 2016.

The famously blunt governor fieldeddozens of questions from reporters withuncharacteristic patience and at times asorrowful tone.

Christie, who had previously assuredthe public that his staff had nothing todo with the September lane closingsthat caused major backups at the GeorgeWashington Bridge, said he fired DeputyChief of Staff Bridget Anne Kelly

“because she lied tome” when hedemanded weeks agothat anyone whoknew anythingabout the episodecome forward.

The gridlock inFort Lee delayedemergency vehicles,school buses andcountless com-

muters for four days.

Kelly was the latest casualty in thescandal. Two other top Christieappointees have resigned in the past fewweeks.

The investigation broke wide open onWednesday, with the release of emailsand text messages that suggested Kellyarranged the traffic jams to punish FortLee’s mayor for not endorsing Christiefor re-election.

In other developments:• The chief federal prosecutor in New

Jersey, U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman,said he is “reviewing the matter to deter-mine whether a federal law was implicat-ed.” The Legislature also is investigat-

ing. Using public resources for politicalends can be a crime. DemocraticConnecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, aformer prosecutor and mayor, said therewas “no doubt” a crime was committed.

• David Wildstein, a Christieappointee who resigned from the PortAuthority of New York and New Jerseyafter being implicated in the scandal,was found in contempt by a legislativecommittee on Thursday after he invokedhis Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and refused to answer

questions. The Port Authority operatesthe bridge and other area bridges andtransit hubs.

• Christie traveled to Fort Lee later inthe day and apologized in person toMayor Mark Sokolich. Christie saidthey had a “productive meeting,” andSokolich told The Record newspaper thegovernor had taken “a big step” towardregaining the trust of Fort Lee’s resi-dents.

• Six state residents, though, filed afederal lawsuit against Christie, thestate, the Port Authority and others,calling the traffic jams “deliberateactions.”

Nuclear launch officers tied to narcotics probeF.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. — Hoping to

boost sagging morale, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagelmade a rare visit Thursday to an AirForce nuclear missile base and the menand women who operate and safeguardthe na tion’s Minuteman 3 missiles. Buthis attempt to cheer the troops was tem-pered by news that launch officers atanother base had been implicated in an

illegal-narcotics investigation.Two officers at Malmstrom Air Force

Base in Montana are being investigatedfor allegations of drug possession, said

a service spokesman in Washington, Lt. Col. BrettAshworth. Both of those being investigated are ICBMlaunch officers with responsibility for operating inter-continental ballistic missiles.

The launch officers’access to classified information hasbeen suspended, and they have been prohibited from serv-ing on missile launch control duty while the Air Force isinvestigating, another defense official said. That officialprovided no further details and spoke only on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss thematter publicly by name.

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s government isholding off on waging an all-outoffensive to retake two key cities fromal-Qaida because of fears that civiliancasualties could incite Sunni anger and

push moderate tribal leaders to sidewith the extremists, analysts and mil-itary officials said Thursday.

More violence flared in Baghdad,where a suicide bomber killed 21 peo-ple at an army recruiting center in aclear effort to demoralize the military.

Al-Qaida-linked fighters overranparts of the cities of Fallujah andRamadi in Sunni-dominated Anbarprovince last week, seizing control of police stations and military posts,freeing prisoners and setting up theirown checkpoints.

The United States, whose troopsfought bloody battles in the cities,has ruled out sending its troops backin, but has been delivering missiles tobolster Iraqi forces. It is expediting

shipments of more American-mademissiles and 10 surveillance drones,but those may not arrive for weeks.

The U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003 andwithdrew in 2011. Both countries tried

but failed to negotiate plans to keep atleast several thousand U.S. forces inIraq beyond the deadline to maintainsecurity.

Vice President Joe Biden has spokento Prime Minister Nouri al-Malikitwice this week, voicing support forhis government’s efforts to regaincontrol of the cities and urging him to

continue talks with local, tribal andnational leaders.

Iran, too, is watching the unrestwith alarm, since it shares U.S. con-

cerns about al-Qaida-linked militantstaking firmer root in its neighbor. Ithas offered to supply military equip-ment and advisers should Baghdadask.

BEIRUT — Two weeks ahead of aninternational peace conference on Syria,the country’s main Western-backedopposition group stands on the brink of collapse, dragged down by outside pres-sures, infighting and deep disagreementsover the basic question of whether totalk to President Bashar Assad.

The crisis in the Syrian NationalCoalition raises further doubts aboutthe so-called Geneva conference,which is set to open Jan. 22 inMontreux, Switzerland. The prospectsfor a successful outcome at the talksappear bleak at best: Assad has said hewill not hand over power, and theopposition — if it decides to attend —is in no position to force concessionsfrom him.

The U.S. and Russia, which supportopposing sides in the conflict that haskilled more than 120,000 people,have been trying for months to bringthe Syrian government and its oppo-nents to the table for negotiationsaimed at ending the war. But with thefighting deadlocked, neither the gov-ernment nor the rebels showed anyinterest in compromise, forcing themeeting to be repeatedly postponed.

MILLBRAE –Have you ever been

entrusted to makefinal arrangements

for a funeral?Those of you

who’ve had thisexperience know

that important decisions are required andmust be made in a timely manner. The next

of kin is many times required to search for

information about the deceased which may

not be easily accessible, and must answerquestions without the time to think thingsout. Even though your Funeral Director is

trained to guide you every step of the way, itis still best for you to be prepared with the

proper information if the need should arise.

Ask your Funeral Director what info isneeded before you meet with him/her.

Making funeral arrangements can be verysimple, or can become difficult at times if

you are not prepared. A good FuneralDirector is experienced in leading you with

the necessary requirements, and will offer

details that you may not have thought aboutor previously considered as an option.

Allowing him/her to guide you will makethe arrangements go by quickly and easily.

A number of items should be consideredin preparation for the future:

1. Talk to your loved ones about theinevitable. Give them an indication on what your wishes are regarding the type of funeral

you want, burial or cremation, etc., and askthem their feelings about plans for their own

funeral. This is only conversation, but it isan important topic which will help break the

ice and prevent any type of confusion when

the time comes.

2. Talk to your Funeral Director. Writedown a list of questions and make a phone

call to your Funeral Director asking how to

be prepared. He/she will gladly providedetailed information and can mail this

information to you for your reference. Asking questions doesn’t cost anything and

will help you with being organized.3. Make an appointment and Pre-plan a

Funeral. Many more people are following

through with this step by making Pre-Need Arrangements. Completing arrangements

ahead of time makes this process morerelaxed, and putting these details behind you

will take a weight off your shoulders. Yourwishes will be finalized and kept on file at

the Mortuary. Your Funeral Director will

even help you set aside funding now as tocover costs at the time of death. Families

who meet with us at the CHAPEL OF THEHIGHLANDS are grateful for the chance to

make Pre-Need Arrangements. With theirfinal details in place it helps to make matters

more calming for surviving loved-ones.

4. Enjoy Life. There are those who dwellon situations that can’t be controlled.Taking time to stop and look around at

beauty in the world and appreciate good

things can be therapeutic. If you need to usea negative statement, try re-wording it into a

positive. Change “I had a lousy day today”into “Today was demanding, but it made me

appreciate my better days.” As the songgoes: “Accentuate the positive; Eliminate

the negative; Latch on to the affirmative.”

If you ever wish to discuss cremation,funeral matters or want to make pre-

planning arrangements please feel free tocall me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF

THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you

OPINION 9Friday • Jan. 10, 2014 THEDAILYJOURNAL

Letters to the editor

Sure, much is to be applauded inGov. Jerry Brown’s budgetannouncement. Paying down the

state’s “wall of debt” and ensuring moneyis set aside in a rainy-day fund are responsi-ble and mature proposals when it comes tothe massive annual project that is theCalifornia budget process.

However, the fact of the matter is that if

he did not make those pronouncements,this day would be marked by long threadsof statements expressing extreme worryabout his irresponsibility.

And that, is a positive step. The fact thatthe California state government is finallywaking up to the reality of budget cycles,debt obligations and the need for a truerainy-day fund to ease the dips and rises inthe state’s financial system is a reason tobe hopeful.

Now, it’s up to the Democratically con-trolled Legislature to see if they can keeptheir hands off the loot. The state’s budget

surplus is estimated to be around $3.2 bil-lion by the end of the fiscal year in July.Assembly Speaker John Perez has alreadypronounced his intention to create a rainy-day fund on one hand while, on the other,expressing an interest in a raft of ideas thattake money such as preventing tuitionincreases for higher education, fightingpoverty and the phase-in of preschool pro-grams including universal transitionalkindergarten.

That last item was noticeably absent inBrown’s budget proposal yesterday. But theidea has a head full of steam with SenatePresident Darryl Steinberg announcing hisplans to get such a system going this year.Universal preschool has its detractors,notably those who wish the government tostay out of such programs, but also has

many supporters who point to benefitssuch as retained learning, fewer issues withlearning disabilities and easier transitionsto kindergarten. Parents of young childrenalso benefit in that the cost of independentpreschools is sometimes prohibitive.

Brown has long been known to be frugaland this budget proposal of his reflectsthat. He has his own pet projects to fund,particularly high-speed rail and the DeltaTunnel project, so he can’t promise theworld. But legislators will surely push forinclusion of their own pet projects, anduniversal transitional preschool is chief among them.

With a big chunk of money allocated to arainy-day fund and to paying down thestate’s debt, there may be some wiggleroom for other programs — but the gover-nor was wise not to suggest them. Thatway, only the most responsible and effec-tive ideas will have a chance to squeeze inand other ideas with less merit will not.

Paying down the debtEditor,Gov. Brown is pledging to paying down

the debt — a whopping $11 billion in thenext fiscal year! Putting it another way,against an estimated debt of $355 billion,he is going to pay back some of it by bor-rowing from other government programs,tallying up to a whopping 3 percent. Thatis even less than the interest on the out-standing debt, even if you are able to floata bunch of bonds, I.O.U.’s and forget-me-not ’s (AKA additional taxes generatedfrom propositions and proposals voted in

by our mathematically challenged politi-cians and government finance teams).Remember, we really do not have that

$11 billion in the first place. It was aresult of a temporary increase in taxesapproved by California residents, 50 per-cent of whom do not pay taxes to start off with, but nevertheless saddled the rest of us with some more debt. It is your and mymoney that was borrowed by the JerryBrown team just because they could. That$355 billion debt, which I am sure hidesand forgets to report liabilities every-where in the government system, won’t bepaid back. And, that temporary taxincrease won’t disappear either. I havebeen told Nevada and Texas are reallyspectacular at this time of the year.

Response to ‘Future’Editor,I applaud Don Havis for raising the issue

of over-population as the ultimate cause

of many of the problems we face now andinto the future (letter to the editor,“Future,” in the Jan. 7 edition of the DailyJournal). I suggest that the income taxdeductions for dependents of over twochildren be eliminated as well, whichwould also help pay for some schoolexpenses. A lot of younger couples I knoware already acting responsibly and limit-ing their reproduction to two children.Now, if we could only get the CatholicChurch to be responsible as well and getover their anti-contraceptive dogma, wemight have a chance to begin to solve thepopulation problem.

Weather is cyclicalEditor,These “weather change” items are too

much.The environment folks are in it forone thing only and that is money! Themoney comes from donations, grants andinheritances when the gullible ones passon. The weather is cyclic and changesevery 10, 15, 20 years. In my 85 years,I’ve seen many changes.The earth orbit-ing the sun cannot maintain the samecourse every orbit so a few thousand mileseither way affects the weather a little. Man

cannot affect the weather.In 1979, the big thing was the coming

“ice age.” That didn’t happen, so after theclamor settled down and the sheep forgotthe lies, the next hoax was “global warm-ing.” The ice caps were melting and theoceans were to rise 21 feet. After Al Gorewas preaching this garbage and made mil-lions doing it, that didn’t happen, so back

to the drawing board. They then came upwith “climate change.”

Now they got it covered both ways.Everyone in the world, every man, womanand child can fit in Texas on their ownone-thousand-square-foot plot. Thatmakes the rest of the world empty. Thepollution then comes from the birds, fishand the ground animals. Good luck, sheep.The sad part of all this is the money wast-ed that could be used for the necessary illsof our society.

Sparing the air?Editor,Regarding the recent large fires at

Simms metals and Thursday’s fire at theroofing supply/animal feed warehouse inSan Jose, it sure is a good thing all thehouseholds in the Bay Area sacrificed thewarmth, ambiance and family tradition of their holiday fires to spare the air.

I’d be willing to wager that the pollu-tion from the Simms fire doubled any-thing the homeowners could accomplish,let alone the five alarms in San Jose.

By the way, does the owner of Simmshave to pay the $250 fine and take asmoke awareness class that the smokepatrol imposes on John Q. Public?

EditorialPay off teacherpension debtSacramento Bee

Senate Democrats announced legis-lation on Tuesday to expandkindergarten to help 4-year-old

children get off to a strong start inschool, at a cost of $198 million a year.It’s a great idea.

So is this: Paying the debt Californiansincurred by promising to provide publicschool teachers with secure pensions.

The California State Teachers’Retirement System estimates that the costto fully fund the teachers’ pension d ebtwill be almost $4.5 billion in the comingyear, $4.6 billion the year after that, andmore in each subsequent year.

CalSTRS calculates that 30 years from

now — and many veteran teachers whoretire now will live another 30 years —the annual cost of fully funding the sys-tem will be $13.9 billion.

The Bee’s editorial board last wroteabout this issue in December 2012. Thetotal unfunded liability stood at $65 bil-lion then. Now, the amount is $71 bil-lion. Like a mortgage, taxpayers in theform of the state, school districts andteachers will need to pay $235 billionduring the next 30 years to make good onthat $71 billion liability.

The cost is real. The state and schooldistricts — primarily using state funds —have a moral and contractual obligationto pay it.

To the benefit of no one, policymakershave been shortchanging teachers andtaxpayers by paying less than 50 percentof the amount that would fully fund pen-sions in each of the last three years.Indeed, the state has shortchanged thesystem by paying less than 100 percentof its obligation in each fiscal year since2001-02.

At some point, however, that has tostop.

Gov. Jerry Brown has been the adult inthe room on many issues; he shouldassert his leadership on this issue, too.

To their credit, Speaker John A. Pirezand Senate President Pro Tem DarrellSteinberg say they recognize the need tomake good on teacher pension obliga-

tions. But to make good on their promis-es, they and other legislators may need toforgo accolades that surely would accom-pany creation of new and innovative pro-grams.

Individually, teacher pensions are hard-ly exorbitant. The average monthly checkis less than $3,700 per year. For manyteachers, that’s their only retirement pay.California teachers don’t pay into SocialSecurity and don’t collect it when theyretire.

Public school teachers contribute 8 per-cent of their pay to their pensions. Theylikely will end up paying a greater sharefor their retirement; the amount will besubject to bargaining. Newly hired teach-ers also will need to pay a larger share.

No bread-and-butter issue is more basicthan pensions.The California Teachers Associatio n,

probably the most influential publicemployee union in the state, should useits clout to persuade lawmakers to focuson the unfunded pension liability, ratherthan waste its political capital on sideissues, such as defending job protectionsfor criminals masquerading as teachers.

The amount, $4.5 billion, is daunting,as is $71 billion and $235 billion. Butthe sums aren’t shrinking. Promises weremade. Policymakers need to figure outways to make good on those promises.

Big movers

By Ken SweetTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Investors got a sharpreminder Thursday that the economystill has some weak spots.

Bed Bath & Beyond and Family Dollarplunged after cutting their earnings

forecasts following a disappointingholiday season. Other retail stocks alsofell sharply even as the broader stockmarket ended little changed.

The reports of weak sales disappoint-ed investors, who had seen signs forseveral weeks that the U.S. economywas improving and that shoppers werereturning to the malls.

“The consumers are supposed to bethe fuel of this economy, and it doesn’tappear to be happening,” said IanWiner, director of trading for WedbushSecurities. “If they’re not spendingmoney at the retailers, what’s goingon?”

The Dow Jones industrial average fell17.98 points, or 0.1 percent, to close at16,444.76. The Standard & Poor’s 500

index added 0.64 points, or less than0.1 percent, to 1,838.13 and the Nasdaqcomposite lost 9.42 points, or 0.2 per-cent, to 4,156.19.

The worst performer in the S&P 50 0index was Bed Bath & Beyond, whichplunged $9.93, or 13 percent, to$69.75. Family Dollar fell $1.37, or 2percent, to $64.97.

L Brands, which owns Bath and Body

Works and Victoria’s Secret, reported

that its sales rose less than analysts hadexpected. The company also cut its full-year outlook. L Brands fell $2.44, or 4percent, to $57.75.

Even the bright spots in the retailindustry had caveats. Department storegiant Macy’s jumped $3.96, or 8 per-cent, to $55.80 after the company fore-cast a 2014 profit that was above WallStreet’s forecasts. At the same time,Macy’s said it would eliminate 2,500

jobs as part of a reorganization thataims to save $100 million a year.

The disappointing news from retailerswas more than enough to offset anotherpositive report on the U.S. economy.

The number of Americans seekingunemployment benefits fell by 15,000last week to 330,000. The drop was

slightly bigger than economists pre-dicted, according to FactSet, a financialdata provider.

The claims report sets the stage forthe government jobs report forDecember, which will be released Fridaymorning. Economists expect employ-ers added 196,000 jobs last month andthe unemployment rate remained at 7percent.

Stocks surged into the end of 2013,

but the momentum hasn’t continuedinto the first trading days of 2014. TheDow and S&P 500 are down less than 1percent this year.

In company news, Ford rose 30 cents,or 2 percent, to $15.84 after announc-ing an increase in its quarterly dividendto 12.5 cents per share from 10 centsper share. The news came a day after thestock gained 1 percent on word thatFord’s widely respected CEO, AlanMulally, would not leave to runMicrosoft.

Abercrombie & Fitch jumped $5.49,or 17 percent, to $38.70 in after-markettrading after the company raised its full-year profit forecast. The company nowexpects earnings of $1.55 to $1.65 ashare, well above the $1.47 per share

that analysts were looking for.Alcoa slumped 39 cents, or 4 percent,

to $10.30 in after-market trading afterthe company reported a fourth-quarterprofit that fell short of Wall Street’sexpectations. Alcoa traditionally sig-nals the start of earnings season, due tothe fact it was a member of the Dow formany years. Alcoa was removed fromthe Dow in August.

Stocks mixed as retailers give weaker outlook“The consumers are supposed to be the fuel of this

economy,and it doesn’t appear to be happening....If they’renot spending money at the retailers,what’s going on?”

— Ian Winer,director of trading for Wedbush Securities

By Anne D’InnocenzioTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Several major retailersslashed their fiscal fourth-quarter profit fore-casts this week in the latest sign thatAmericans didn’t spend briskly during theholiday shopping season.

American Eagle Outfitters and Bed Bath &Beyond are among seven retail chains so farthat have cut their expectations for their fis-cal fourth quarter, which includes the criticalholiday shopping season when stores canmake up to 40 percent of their annual sales.

The holiday season was challenging forstores as many Americans still were con-tending with the effects of a shaky econom-ic recovery. Weather was also an issue, assnowstorms across the country kept someshoppers home. And the season was sixdays shorter, which meant less time for peo-ple to shop.

Retailers discounted early and often to get

shoppers into stores. In fact, it was com-mon to see sales of 50 percent off a store’s

entire stock of clothes during the final daysof the season. It appears that the discountsgot people to spend — sales for November

and December rose a better-than-expected2.7 percent to $265.9 billion, according todata tracker ShopperTrak. But the deep pricecuts ate away at retailers’p rofits .

As a result, Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., aUnion, N.J. company that owns Cost PlusWorld Market and Bed Bath & Beyond, onWednesday lowered its earnings forecast forthe fiscal fourth quarter and full year thatends early this year after its third-quarterresults missed analysts’ expectat ions.

Pier 1 Imports Inc., a Fort Worth, Texas-based chain that sells home decor, onThursday also downgraded its earnings fore-cast for the fiscal fourth quarter and the fullyear, citing a disappointing December.

And teen retailer American EagleOutfitters Inc. on Thursday reported thatsales at stores open at least a year fell 7 per-cent in the nine weeks that ended on Jan. 4

when compared with the same period a yearago.

SAN FRANCISCO — Personal computersales sank even further during the holidayshopping season, capping the steepestannual decline in PC shipments since desk-top and laptop machines began to appearon people’s wish lists decades ago.

The fourth-quarter numbers releasedThursday by the research firms Gartner Inc.and International Data Corp. serve as the

latest testament to the growing popularityof smartphones and tablet computers. The

mobile devices are typically less expen-sive than PCs and more convenient to usethan clunky desktops, making themappealing alternatives to go online forwork, entertainment, information andcommunications.

Gartner cited the mobile shift as the mainreason for a 7 percent drop in worldwide PCsales from the previous year during thethree months ending in December, a periodwhen the demand for electronics is at itspeak. It marks the seventh consecutive

quarter of decreasing PC sales.IDC came up with a slightly different fig-

ure. By its calculations, worldwide PCshipments slipped by nearly 6 percent dur-ing the fourth quarter.

For all of last year, PC sales plunged 10percent, according to both Gartner andIDC. Shipments of desktop and laptopcomputers had never slipped by more than4 percent in any other previous year.

The other annual declines occurred in2001, in the midst of a technology bustdriven by a collapse in the Internet sector,and in 2012, which marked the early

stages of the migration to tablet comput-ers.

Diamond Foods Inc. will pay $5 millionto settle charges by the Securities andExchange Commission for its role in anaccounting scheme.

The SEC said Thursday that it charged theSan Francisco-based snack maker and two of its former executives for their roles in the

falsifying walnut costs in order to boostearnings. Diamond did not respond to arequest for comment.

The SEC said it has reached a settlementwith the company and former CEO MichaelMendes. The regulator argues Mendesshould have known the reported costs wereincorrect at the time he certified the finan-cial statements. Mendes has agreed to pay$125,000 to settle charges of negligence

against him without admitting or denyingallegations.

Mendes has already returned or forfeited$4 million in pay received during the periodof fraudulent reporting. His attorney SarahBrody said in a statement that Mendes ishappy to have resolved the matter.

But the SEC said that its litigation con-tinues against Diamond’s former chief financial officer, Steven Neil.

Chevron oil productionfalls, refining improves

SAN RAMON — Chevron Corp. said itsoil and gas production fell in the first twomonths of the fourth quarter because of planned maintenance and other downtime atfacilities in the Gulf of Mexico, Australiaand Angola .

In an update issued Thursday, Chevronsaid oil and gas production slid 4 percent, to2.56 million barrels per day, compared withthe full fourth quarter of 2012.

Wall Street expects Chevron’s earnings todrop. Analysts polled by FactSet expectChevron to earn $2.88 per share in thefourth quarter, on average, which would be adecline of 3 percent compared with thefourth quarter of 2012.

Chevron said its fourth-quarter financialresults would be similar to its third-quarterresults as better refining results make up forlower oil and gas production. Chevronearned $4.95 billion, or $2.57 per share, onrevenue of $56.6 billion in the third quarter.

Chevron released its update after financialmarkets were closed. In after-hours trading,Chevron shares slipped 56 cents to$122.73.

GOING TO EXTREMES:TROY UNIVERSITY WILL DRUG TEST ALL ITS ATHLETE IN WAKE OF ARRESTS,DEATHS >> PAGE 12

By Janie McCauley THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA — Nobody could blamePerrish Cox for confusing his uniform,defensive schemes or even what state he’s inthese days. It’s been a constant switcheroo.

In a whirlwind two months, the third-yearcornerback has gone from San Francisco, toplaying for Seattle and back to the 49ers —participating in all but one defensive snapin a 23-20 wild-card playoff win at GreenBay last week.

In the middle of the moving and change,he welcomed a baby girl just afterThanksgiving.

“I tell everybody it’sbeen the craziest twomonths of my life,” Coxsaid. “Back and forth toSeattle, I had my littlegirl Nov. 29. That Fridaywhen I got released, myagent had called me andtold me they had alreadycontacted me right after Icame across the waivers.

I knew I was coming back before anybodyelse did. I had no clue I was playing thatmuch, though.”

Cox earned it with an impressive week of practice. He hopes to play a big part again

in the NFC divisional playoffs Sunday atCarolina.

“We expected him to play to the best of his ability, which he has,” defensive coor-dinator Vic Fangio said Thursday. “Yeah, wegot him off the street a few days before thegame but he had spent the year and howevermany games here, two training camps, sohe knew our system and it was an easyadjustment for him that way. But he hadn’tplayed any significant playing time whilehe was with us and none when he was withSeattle. Major kudos to him to go out andperform the way he did.”

The 49ers used their nickel defensivepackage for about a third of the game

against the Panthers in a 10-9 loss on Nov.10, so Cox is unlikely to play nearly asmuch this Sunday. And the Niners (13-4) arehoping for the return of Carlos Rogers, whomissed Sunday’s victory against the Packerswith a strained right hamstring.

Eric Wright also was listed with a ham-string injury, but he said he was healthyenough to play and it wasn’t his decisionafter he expected to play the nickel.

Rogers said Thursday he is improvingeach day. While he began sprinting shortdistances Wednesday, he has yet to test thehamstring cutting side to side.

By Julio Lara DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The first week of the Peninsula AthleticBay Division girls’ soccer schedule is in thebooks. And with two games under eachteam’s belt, you can see some patterns start-ing to form.

Take San Mateo High School, for exam-ple. Two games in and it’s not exactly rain-ing goals on the offensive side of the ball.But thanks to a tough and scrappy defense,the Bearcats are 1-0-1 with a pair of shutouts— their latest was a 0-0 draw with CarlmontThursday afternoon at home.

“I’m happy with the draw,” said SanMateo head coach Carlos Bover, whoseteam beat Sequoia 1-0 to start league play on

Tuesday. “It was a mostly even game. Thefirst half [against Carlmont] it was mostlyus. We had a couple good chances, good

passing against a very strong team. But thesecond half, they turned to out to be strongand they had a lot of chances.

“We didn’t have to defend as much in thefirst half because we had possession. So, itwas much easier. It didn’t feel like we hadmuch pressure on our defense. But secondhalf, we totally did. I was counting the sec-onds in the second half.”

Carlmont knocked on the Bearcat door tothe tune of 17 shots in the last 40 minutesof the game — as opposed to just one shoton frame for San Mateo in the same timeperiod. But for all the efforts of Soha Said,Kayla Fong and Carolyn Donohoe, the ball

simply did not want to find twine —although San Mateo goalkeeper Kitty Quhad a lot to say about that.

“She played really well, especially thesecond half,” Bover said. “The first half, sh edidn’t have too much to do. The second half,she came up big for us. She did that for uslast year and we always look forward to goodperformances from her.”

“I think a little bit of the difference in thegame was finishing our opportunities,” saidCarlmont head coach Tina Doss, whoseScots took down Hillsdale 2-1 in the PALopener. “Today, I can’t say that they weren’ttrying to score, or they weren’t trying to getahead. But we just didn’t finish our opportu-nities.

WASHINGTON — Aculture of bad behaviorand disrespect among athletes at U.S. mili-tary academies is one part of the continuingproblem of sexual assaults at the schools,according to a new Defense Departmentreport that comes in the wake of scandalsthat rocked teams at all three academies lastyear.

Defense officials say the culture permeatesthe academies beyond just the locker room,saying that students often feel they need to

put up with sexist and offensive behavior aspart of their school life, according to thereport obtained by the Associated Press.

The annual report on sexual assaults at theU.S. Military Academy at West Point in NewYork, the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis,Md., and the Air Force Academy in ColoradoSprings, Colo., identifies sports and clubteams as an area where they need to expandsexual assault prevention training for coach-es and faculty. The report is expected to bemade public Friday.

Overall, reported sexual assaults at theacademies went down, from 80 to 70, during

the school year that ended last May. Of those, almost two-thirds were at the Air ForceAcademy.

It also notes that alcohol is often a factorin sexual assaults, and it urges military lead-ers to do more to restrict and monitor drink-ing and liquor sales.

Athletes and sports teams are coming underincreased scrutiny in light of separate harass-ment and assault incidents at all threeschools.

At the Naval Academy, three members of the football team faced accusations in a com-plicated sexual assault case involving a

female student at an off-campus party.Charges were dropped against one team mem-ber and may be dropped against another. Thethird is still scheduled for trial.

At West Point, the men’s rugby team wastemporarily disbanded, and more than adozen seniors were demoted and faced otherpunishment and restrictions, after emailsthat were derogatory to women came to light.And there was a similar problem with sportsteam members at the Air Force Academy cir-culating a document that disparaged women.

NEW YORK — Dan Le Batard was kicked outof the Baseball Writers’ Association of America for one year and barred from future Hallof Fame votes after he turned over his 2014ballot to a website that allowed readers tochoose the selections.

The decision was made Thursday by theBBWAAboard of directors, a day after Le Batardsaid he let Deadspin.com cast his ballot.

“The BBWAA regardsHall of Fame voting as theultimate privilege, and anyabuse of that privilege isunacceptable,” the organi-zation said in a statement.

Le Batard, an ESPN hostand Miami Herald colum-nist, said Wednesday hegave his ballot to the web-site because he detests the

“hypocrisy” in the votingprocess.

Deadspin had offered to pay a voter for a bal-lot. Le Batard said he insisted there wouldn’t becompensation.

“I didn’t ‘sell’ anything. Only conditionswere that I NOT get anything,” he posted onTwitter.

Le Batard told Deadspin that “our flawed vot-ing process needs remodeling in a new mediaworld. Besides, every year the power is abusedthe way I’m going to be alleged to abuse ithere.”

“And my final reason: I always like a littleanarchy inside the cathedral we’ve made of sports.”

STANFORD — By David Shaw’s standards,Stanford had another successful season.

The Cardinal won the Pac-12 for the sec-ond consecutive year, went to a BCS bowl forthe fourth straight season and will likely

send several players into the NFL again.While Stanford lost to Michigan State in theRose Bowl, Shaw believes the best days arestill ahead for his program — especiallywith a four-team playoff for the national titlestarting next season.

“You have to come out of the season say-ing, ‘This was a successful season. It didn’tend the way that we wanted it to. But as far asbeing one of the better teams in collegefootball, you have to say that we were upthere,”’ Shaw said Thursday. “Do we havehigh aspirations again for next year?Absolutely.”

The Cardinal will need to replace severaltop players — notably departing lineback-ers Trent Murphy and Shayne Skov, defen-sive end Ben Gardner and running back TylerGaffney.

Shaw said that linebacker A.J. Tarpley anddefensive end Henry Anderson will return fortheir final year of eligibility. He also said

All-American left guardDavid Yankey, right tack-le Cameron Fleming andfree safety Ed Reynoldsare still deciding whetherto declare for the NFLdraft.

Yankey is widely

expected to leave and beone of the top interiorlinemen taken, while

Fleming and Reynolds are projected middle-to-late round picks who “could take it to thelast day” to decide, Shaw said. The deadlinefor underclassmen to declare for the draft isJan. 15.

Shaw is looking forward to another date:Feb. 24 — the first day of spring practice.

Wide receiver and All-American kickreturner Ty Montgomery, who injured hisknee in the Rose Bowl, is expected to beready but may be held out of the first portionof spring practice as a precaution, Shaw said.His injury did not require surgery.

Regardless of who’s on the field, Stanfordwill carry the same high expectations theprogram had heading into this past season.

The Cardinal claimed the past two confer-ence crowns, but for the fourth straight sea-son they were one loss away from possibly

playing for the BCS title. While Stanfordhas upended Oregon two straight years, closelosses at Utah and Southern California keptthe Cardinal out of the national champi-onship mix.

After earning the highest ranking in TheAssociated Press’ preseason poll in schoolhistory at No. 4, Stanford (11-3) finished at

No. 11 following its 24-20 loss to MichiganState in the Granddaddy of Them All.

Count Shaw among those who feels thesting of a season ending in defeat. But healso takes the disappointment of losing theRose Bowl as a sign of how far the programhas come.

“I refuse to look at it as anything otherthan we are what we set out to be, which isone of the best teams in college football,”Shaw said.

If the past few years have proved any-thing, it’s that Stanford likely isn’t goingaway anytime soon.

Quarterback Kevin Hogan will be enteringhis redshirt junior season, and Keller Chryst— one of the country’s top recruits fromright across the street at Palo Alto HighSchool and the son of San Francisco 49ers

quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst — will bepushing for his job along with soon-to-beredshirt freshman Ryan Burns.

The offensive line should remain stellar.And while 1,700-yard rusher Gaffney isgone, Stanford has shown an ability toreplace big-time running backs in recent sea-sons.

The biggest question on defense might bewhether standout defensive coordinatorDerek Mason, a rising star in the profession,

leaves for a bigger job.Unlike previous years, though, Shaw

enters this one talking about more than justwinning the Pac-12 title with his players.

The four-team playoff, the strength of thePac-12 and the growing perception of theconference gives him hope the league’s win-ner will earn one of the spots to play forsomething that has for so long seemedunreachable at Stanford: a national title.

“We have the most competitive conferencein the nation. And if you win this confer-ence, you’ll get invited to that four-teamplayoff. That’s just the way that it is,” Shawsaid. “It’s not just computers and randomvoters that may or may not see us play.There’s a committee that can look and say,‘OK, we’re going to take the teams that winthe major conferences. And if there’s a ques-

tion, then we’ll debate who that fourth teamis and who’s going to play who and what theactual seeding is, etc.”

Stanford had successful season,tough ending

NEW YORK — Stephen Curry, an NBAAll-Star snub lastyear, is in position to start this year’s game.

The Golden State sharpshooter moved past Chris Paul

into second place among Western Conference guardsThursday when the third returns of fan balloting werereleased.

Curry trails the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant but is about 26,000votes ahead of Paul, the injured Clippers’ point guard.Voting runs through Jan. 20, and the starters for the Feb. 16game in New Orleans will be announced Jan. 23.

Curry wasn’t chosen last season despite averaging 20.9points at the time of the selections. He was the league’s

eighth-leading scorer at the time and thehighest one not chosen for the game.

Paul ended up being voted the MVP of the West’s victory in Houston.

Heat forward LeBron James leads all

players with 1.076 million votes, fewerthan 22,000 ahead of Oklahoma City’sKevin Durant. Miami teammate DwyaneWade is on pace to join James in theEastern Conference lineup, along withPaul George of Indiana, Carmelo

Anthony of New York and Kyrie Irving of Cleveland.Houston’s Dwight Howard and the Clippers’Blake Griffin

are running second and third in the West frontcourt.

MELBOURNE, Australia — As three-timedefending champion Novak Djokovic heldthe Australian Open trophy in a photo shootbefore Friday’s draw, he joked that havinghis fingerprints on it may in some way helphim win the title for a fourth consecutive

year.The draw certainly didn’t dent Djokovic’schances, with top-seeded Rafael Nadal, No. 4Andy Murray, No. 5 Juan Martin del Potroand No. 6 Roger Federer all stacked in theopposite half.

Djokovic’s new coach, six-time GrandSlam champion Boris Becker, attended the

draw and duly noted: “It’s a loaded half, that’sfor sure.”

On the women’s side, top-ranked SerenaWilliams opens against Australian teenagerAshleigh Barty and has 2011 U.S. Openchampion Sam Stosur and two-time finalistLi Na in her half.

Two-time defending Australian Open cham-pion Victoria Azarenka and Maria Sharapova

are in the opposite half, meaning they couldonly meet Serena Williams in the final.The top half of the men’s draw was the talk-

ing point, starting with Nadal’s first-roundmatch against Australian Bernard Tomic .

“I think that’ll be a night match, for sure,”Becker quipped. “But a tough, tricky one forboth players. Tomic will certainly have thehome support.”

Nadal missed last year’s Australian Openwith a left knee injury during a seven-monthabsence from the tour. He returned to win 10titles in 2013 and regain the No. 1 ranking,overhauling Djokovic in October.

Tomic reached the Wimbledon quarterfinalsin 2011 and has been ranked as high as No.27 .

His only previous meeting with Nadal

resulted in a straight-sets defeat in the thirdround of the 2011 Australian Open.Nadal also has No. 25 Gael Monfils, former

No. 1-ranked Lleyton Hewitt and 16th-seededKei Nishikori in his section.

Federer opens against Australian wildcardentry James Duckworth and Murray takes onGo Soeda of Japan. Likely quarterfinals onthat half would feature Nadal against del

Potro and Federer against Murray.Djokovic will face Lukas Lacko in the first

round in the bottom half of the draw whichalso contains No. 3 David Ferrer, No. 7Tomas Berdych and No. 8 StanislasWawrinka.

In the bottom half of the women’s draw,Azarenka faces Johanna Larsson of Swedenin the first round, while Sharapova takes on

American Bethanie Mattek-Sands and couldface former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic in thequarterfinals and Azarenka in the semis.

Stosur, Australia’s only seeded player atNo. 17, opens against Czech KlaraZakopalova, the same player she was set toplay in the Hobart International semifinalson Friday.

Nadal,Murray,Federer all in the same half of Aussie Open

“I think it hit a point in the game whereeveryone was like ‘I don’t want to finish,you finish, no, you finish’ — it turned intoone of those games. And it starts getting

into their heads when you’re taking shotafter shot after shot and nothing is goingin. That’s one of the things we need to talkabout — being patient and waiting for theright time, continuing to push and not stop-ping. We’ll work on it and figure it out.”

The Scots, with Said and Fong, definitelyhave the pieces to try and figure things out.In the second half, they peppered Qu withshots that the sophomore and reigning PALco-goalkeeper of the year was up to.

“Carlmont has a very good offensiveline,” Bover said. “They have three verystrong players up top that are very, verygood. Very hard to spot. One of our main tar-gets when we started the game was to spotNo. 10 (Fong). She’s got good skill. I think

she’s the best player in the league by far.Smart, technical so if you stop her, you gotsome good chances. If you don’t stop her,she’s going to make your life crazy.”

San Mateo put a lot more pressure onCarlmont in the first half. They had eightshots on goal — one of which rung off thepost and another, by Katie Wischer, wasinches from making it 1-0.

“The defense played great,” Doss said. “Ihave no complaints. We talked about how inthe first half, we were a little too far backand I wanted to step more into their passinglanes and they that adjustment in the secondhalf and did a really good job.”

OTHER SOCCER NEWSMenlo-Atherton continued it hot start to

the season with a 5-0 defeat of Sequoia. Intwo league games, the Bears have outscoredopponents 8-0. Sarah McLeod scored twicein the win.

“I have high hopes for them,” said M-Ahead coach Paul Snow. “We expect to be bat-tling alongside Woodside and we expectCarlmont to be up there as well. We’re hop-ing to contend for a title.”

Junior Annie Harrier got M-Aon the boardearly in the first half when she finished aperfectly fed ball from freshman KatieGuenin. McLeod scored the first of her twogoals on an assist from sophomore TaliaMissan. Later Missan received a ball off athrow-in, dribbled down the sideline andtook a hard shot from the outside right tofind the back of the net unassisted. The finalgoal of the half came when Miranda Simespassed to Amanda Wiseman, who scored toput the Bears up 4-0 at the half.

In the second half, McLeod intercepted aball off an attempted clear by a Sequoiadefender and finished it for her second goalof the match.

The injury bug continues to biteBurlingame while Hillsdale is provingthey’re a force to be reckoned with. ThePanthers and Knights tied 1-1. Alysse LaMond scored in the 76th minute. “Hillsdaleplayed really well,” said Burlingame headcoach Phillip De Rosa. “They’re definitebetter than they’ve been in the past. We hadour opportunities today but when you don’tcapitalize, they come back to bite you.”

After drawing with Burlingame earlier in

the week, Woodside bounced back with adominating 5-0 win over Aragon. TheWildcats got goals from five different play-ers in the win.

“I think Tuesday’s game was a nice dose of reality for us,” said Woodside head coachJose Navarrete. “I think that’s going to bethe case all season. Teams are really goingto test us. We came out with more drivetoday.”

Over in the Ocean Division, Half MoonBay finished off a 2-1 start to league bybeating South San Francisco 3-1. TatianaQuintanilla had two assists.

“I think we played kinda timid,” saidCougars head coach Katie Moore about herteam’s 2-1 loss to Terra Nova earlier in theweek. “We mentally killed ourselves. But weregrouped and are playing better. My team isreally talented. They just have to believe inthemselves.”

Speaking of Terra Nova, they improved to3-0 with a 5-0 victory over Westmoor.Leilani Kaea scored twice in the victory.

“I just think the girls are playing reallywell together,” said Terra Nova head coachErnie Brockmeyer.

WHAT’S ON TAP

By Josh Dubow THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE — Joe Pavelskiscored two goals to extend his runof strong play and the San JoseSharks beat Jimmy Howard for theninth straight time in the regularseason with a 4-1 win over theDetroit Red Wings on Thursdaynight.

Dan Boyle and AndrewDesjardins also scored for theSharks, who bounced back afterlosing two of three on a recentroad trip. Antti Niemi made 24saves to beat the Red Wings for thefourth straight time with just threegoals allowed in that span.

Tomas Tatar scored the lone goalfor the Red Wings, who began atough three-game Californiaswing with a loss. Detroit followsup this game with weekend visitsto Los Angeles and Anaheim. Thethree California teams have justsix regulation losses in 63 homegames this season.

Howard made 19 saves butallowed three goals in the secondperiod to end his night and extendhis struggles against the Sharks,who haven’t lost to him in the reg-ular season in more than threeyears. San Jose’s 10 regular-sea-son wins against Howard are the

second-most for any team, trailing

only Chicago’s 12.Howard allowed two soft goalsin the second period to help theSharks break open a close game.The onslaught started whenDesjardins skated into the offen-sive zone and beat Howard to theshort side from a bad angle for hissecond goal of the season to makeit 2-1.

Pavelski added to the lead whenhe knocked in the rebound of BradStuart’s shot, giving him 12 goalsin his last 15 games. It wasPavelski’s 22nd career two-goalgame, but he is still seeking hisfirst career hat trick.

Boyle added to the lead on apower play when he beat Howard

with a wrist shot from the circlethat made it 4-1. Boyle, JoeThornton and Logan Couture wereamong the Sharks in considera-tion for the Canadian Olympiccoached by Detroit’s MikeBabcock who were left off the ros-ter this week.

Thornton had two assists, giv-ing him 14 in his last 10 gamesand a league-leading 45 on the sea-son, while Couture is out for a fewweeks with a hand injury.

the Troy family,” Hartwell said.“The intertwining thing, withoutgetting into the details of anycase, is clearly you had weaponsinvolved, you had alcohol and/ordrugs and you had late-night inci-dents.

“The message is, ‘Hey, we’vegot to do what we can to protectourselves from getting in those

situations.”’Hartwell said the men’s andwomen’s basketball teams were onthe road, and he expects to meetwith them within a few days.

Under department policy, thefirst positive drug test leads tonotification of parents orguardians. Hartwell said Troy willprovide help to athletes who aresuffering from the losses and thosewho test positive for drugs.

“We want to take this as anopportunity for us to get better andtry to minimize the opportunityfor these things to happen againin the future and to make sure wesend the proper message to our stu-dent-athletes,” he said.

If he’s unable to play at full

speed, Rogers realizes it might be

better for Tarell Brown and

Tramaine Brock to remain the

starters in the base defense, with

Cox or Wright contributing in the

nickel. In addition, rookie safety

Eric Reid is healthy after suffering

a concussion in the first meeting

with Carolina.

“It’s frustrating. I’ve got to help

those guys out, and I’m going to

continue to take notes as if I’m

playing,” Rogers said. “I’m trying

to be aggressive with it but not

too aggressive and hurt it more.”

Cox will stay ready for whatever

role he is asked to handle.

This is another fresh start for

him — and on the NFL’s big stage.

Cox got cut by Seattle on Dec.

27, then re-signed with San

Francisco three days later. By

Sunday, with only a handful of

practices under his belt back with

his old team, Cox played nearly

the entire game.“I had no clue I was going to

play that much,” Cox said. “I actu-

ally didn’t even know I was going

to be starting in the nickel until

right before the game.”

He was initially released by the

49ers on Nov. 12 and joined the

rival NFC West champion

Seahawks on Nov. 26.

Now, if the reigning NFC cham-

pion Niners move on, they could

be headed to Seattle for a matchup

with Cox’s former Seahawks with

a Super Bowl berth on the line.

Seattle must first get by New

Orleans at home.

“He’s hungry. Everyone has awake-up call, and I think Perrish

understands that,” linebacker

NaVorro Bowman said. “His focus

with him coming back was

tremendous, and that’s the reason

he was on the field on Sunday. We

expect him to keep that going.”

Notes: Offensive coordinator

Greg Roman didn’t deny inter-

viewing for the Penn State coach-

ing vacancy — but wasn’t forth-

coming, either. “Speculation. I’m

not going to comment on it,” he

said. “Rumors, water cooler talk.

I’m focused on this game.”...

Fangio said he hasn’t been con-

tacted by any NFL teams to inter-view for head coaching jobs.

Defense officials said Thursdaythat students view crude behaviorand harassment as an almostaccepted experience at the acade-mies and that victims feel peerpressure not to report incidents. Sothe schools are being encouragedto beef up training, particularlyamong student leaders, to recog-nize and feel empowered to report

or step in when they see unaccept-able behavior.

Both the Army and Navy targetedsports team captains, are usingfield trips to Gettysburg to talk tothem about leadership and the needto combat sexual harassment andassault within their ranks.

Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen Jr., thesuperintendent at West Point, saidThursday that the rugby scandalrevealed a bad subculture that hadexisted for years.

“There were people within theorganization that became desensi-

tized to the degradation of respect,”Caslen said in an AP interview.“But there were also people in theorganization that recognized it asbeing wrong and elected not to doanything.”

The challenge, he said, is findingways to train and encourage cadetsto have the moral courage to standup and report such conduct whenthey see it.

ASSAULT


ASHBURN, Va. — The face was dif-ferent, the words familiar. Like MikeShanahan and nearly every recentWashington Redskins coach, JayGruden is anxious to declare an end tofranchise’s days of dysfunction.

“I don’t know what happened last

year,” Gruden said. “I know that inter-viewing with Dan Snyder and BruceAllen and everybody here that thepassion for excellence is there. Allthey want to do is win, and they’regoing to provide me with everyavenue to win.”

Gruden was introduced Thursday asthe man charged with ending the per-

petual state of turmoil the team hasendured under owner Snyder andrecently under general manager Allen.

Gruden was a given a five-year con-tact for his first NFL head coachinggig, taking over a 3-13 team that hasfinished last in the NFC East in five of the last six seasons.

“We HAVE to get it right,” said

Allen, who led the search and inter-viewed six candidates. “We need toget the franchise back on track in awinning direction. ... We werelooking for a new leader, somebodywho can inspire our football team.We knew it was more than just X andOs, it was about finding the rightperson to build a team chemistry

that we needed.”Gruden is Snyder’s eighth coach in

16 seasons as an NFL owner. UnlikeShanahan, who was fired last week,Gruden will not have final say over allfootball matters. He’ll report toAllen, who has taken charge of assembling the roster and other per-sonnel decisions.

Brutal tributeto Navy SEALsBy Jake CoyleTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Marcus Luttrell, the former NavySEAL whose deadly mission in Afghanistan has been

turned into the film “Lone Survivor,” strides into ahotel room for an interview, trailed by his servicedog, Mr. Rigby.

The tall, hulking, goateed Navy Cross recipientgreets a journalist with a rock-hard grip, andnods to director Peter Berg and star MarkWahlberg, who plays him in the film. This isclearly not what he wants to be doing.

Based on Luttrell’s best-selling 2007 memoir,“Lone Survivor” is about a 2005 four-man opera-tion in northeastern Afghanistan’s Kunar province thatfell apart when a trio of goat herders stumbled upon thestaked-out SEALs.

After releasing the civilians and aborting the mission, theSEALs were quickly ambushed by the Taliban in a firefight thattumbled down a rocky gulch, killed Luttrell’s three fellowSEALs, left Luttrell badly injured and, in an attempted res-cue, killed 16 more men.

“Lone Survivor,” which opens like a recruitment videowith documentary footage of intense SEAL training, is thelatest in a series of films that pays tribute to the Navy’s spe-cial forces: In messy, uncertain wars, they’re elite practi-tioners of precision. In the era of the superhero film, theNavy SEALs have inspired filmmakers as the genuine arti-cle.

Luttrell would rather not talk about any of it. He wentalong with “Lone Survivor” and wrote the book at the

urging of his superiors. Compared to the actual events,the movie is no traumatic experience for Luttrell.

“I went through it in real life, so a movie about it isn’tgoing to affect me in any way,” says the 38-year-oldTexan.

Hollywood and the American military are worldsapart. But “Lone Survivor” is a uniquely close col-laboration, one in which Berg and Wahlberg (bothproducers) worked under significant pressure fromthe families of those who died and active-dutySEALs to faithfully render the soldiers’ lives, in bat-tle and in brotherhood.

“I was at the screening when there were a hundred

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE ‘UM

By Susan CohnDAILY JOURNAL

SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

THE PENINSULA MUSEUM OFART I NVIT ES P UB LI C TOEXHIBIT RECEPTION SUNday, JAN. 12. The Peninsula Museum of Artpresents three new exhibitions for

2014: Savage Garden by KalaniEngles, Hermetica by Tobias Toveraand Old Lovers by Eleanor Dickinson.Engles’ and Tovera’s works are large inscale: Engles’ exhilarate, and Tovera’smotivate. Engles’ immense oils reflectthe wild forces at play in a natural gar-den, while Tovera’s wildness isrevealed both in a mixed media collec-tion, and live via an alchemical work-in-progress created on site just for theMuseum. In contrast, Dickinson’sinspiration comes from the imperfectyet endlessly interesting facets of theaging human form, captured in an inti-mate collection of ink drawingsdepicting old lovers. Collectively, thethree artists, who complement oneanother and highlight the depth and

diversity of Bay Area talent, sharetheir individual visions. Engles said,“The abstraction in Savage Gardenresults from the arrangement of the fig-ures on the canvas. Obviously, no realgarden is configured like this one.Instead, I want the viewer to experi-ence the essence of a wild garden unen-cumbered by physical context. The

juxtaposition of the figurative ele-ments is designed to convey a sense of energy and motion while maintainingtechnical balance in spatial composi-tion and color. The name SavageGarden suggests the primordial forceof plants competing for space and sun-light without regard for biologicalorder or human design.” Of pieces suchas Pyrochlore, Tovera said, “As an

artist, I am interested in experiment-ing with alchemical processes in thepursuit of discovering a “third space,”a zone of possibility that existsbeyond restrictive dualities. My aim isto create transmuted spaces, placeswhere energy shifts, changes orrenews itself. From the introduction of water and mineral to the use of scienceand the occult, this translates intoworking with opposing elements toreveal how they interact, transform orpropel each other.” Dickinson said,“The original enthusiasm to drawaging lovers was natural, organic andunthinking. I have always much pre-

ferred people and animals drawn inmoments of heightened emotion orecstasy. Naturally, drawing lovers wasan exciting treat and I had no biastoward the young ones or need to showformal perfection, ideal form or uni-versal order. Indeed, as I found moresubjects, the older people proved muchmore rewarding to work with techni-cally — there was just more there todraw, thousands of irregularities of thebody from which to choose.”

The public is invited to the free

opening reception from 1 p.m. to 4p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 12. All threeexhibits run until March 16. ThePeninsula Museum of Art is located at1777 California Drive, Burlingame.The Museum store carries artwork fromlocal artists, offering a selection of

jewel ry, cards , ceramics, glassware,mosaics, oil paintings and scarves insilk, chiffon and wool. For more infor-mation call 692-2101 or visit penin-sulamuseum.org .

NEW B EG INNIN GS. ARTSTARTS THE YEAR IN DALYCITY. “The human spirit is a naturalgardener, producing bouquets in thesoul constant ly,” said Leigh Toldi, one

of the artists whose painting“Unfolding Bouquet” will be in the“New Beginnings” art show at CityHall in Daly City to celebrate theinduction and inaugural term of DavidJ. Canepa as Mayor of Daly City. Theexhibit, co-curated by Marian Yap andBonnie J.

ABC’s ‘Bachelor’ Juan

Pablo Galavis is a hitBy Alicia RancilioTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Fans curious to find out if there’s anydrama this season on “The Bachelor” aren’t alone. Its

latest star, Juan Pablo Galavis, sayshe’s interested to see what happenedamong the women when he wasn’t

around.“That’s the question that I don’t

know the answer (to.) I don’t get to seeany of that,” said Galavis in an inter-view Thursday. “It was the same on‘The Bachelorette.’ All the guys wereon good behavior in front of Desiree(Hartsock) but around the house theyweren’t.”

The 32-year-old former pro soccer player competed forthe affection of Hartsock last summer on “TheBachelorette.” He wasn’t chosen for a one-on-one dateand had very little air time before getting sent home.Still, he made such an impression w ith viewers that ABCdecided to make him “The Bachelor.”

Host Chris Harrison admitted recently to Galavisbeing a surprise candidate.

WASHINGTON — Some of thenation’s largest food companies havecut daily calorie counts by an average of 78 per person, a new study says, morethan four times the amount the industry

pledged to slash by next year.The study sponsored by the RobertWood Johnson Foundation found thatbetween 2007 and 2012, the estimatedtotal cut in food product calories from agroup of 16 major food companies wasin the range of 6.4 trillion.

Seventy-eight calories would be aboutthe same as an average cookie or a medi-um apple, and the federal governmentestimates an average daily diet at around2,000 calories. The study said the calo-ries cut averaged out to 78 calories perday for the entire U.S. population.

The 2010 pledge taken by the compa-nies — including General Mills Inc.,Campbell Soup Co., ConAgra FoodsInc., Kraft Foods Inc., Kellogg Co.,Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo Inc. and

Hershey Co. — was to cut 1 trillioncalories by 2012 and 1.5 trillion calo-ries by 2015.

The Robert Wood JohnsonFoundation signed on to hold the com-panies accountable, and that group hiredresearchers at the University of NorthCarolina at Chapel Hill to painstaking-ly count the calories in almost everysingle packaged item in the grocerystore. To do that, the UNC researchersused the store-based scanner data of hun-dreds of thousands of foods, commercialdatabases and nutrition facts panels tocalculate exactly how many calories thecompanies were selling.

The researchers aren’t yet releasingthe entire study, but they said Thursdaythat the companies have exceeded theirown goals by a wide margin.

Dr. James Marks, director of theHealth Group at the Robert WoodJohnson Foundation, said the group ispleased with the results but the compa-nies “must sustain that reduction, asthey’ve pledged to do, and other foodcompanies should follow their lead.”

The Robert Wood Johnson

Foundation is a nonpartisan philan-thropic and research organization thatworks to improve the nation’s health.

Even though the companies that madethe commitment represent most of thenation’s most well-known food compa-nies, they sold only a little more than athird of all packaged foods and bever-ages at the beginning of the study.Missing are many off-label brands soldunder the names of retailers, and it’sunknown whether those products havechanged.

It is also unclear how the reduction incalories translates into consumers’diets. When the companies made thepledge in 2010, they said one way theywould try and reduce calories would be tochange portion sizes in an attempt topersuade consumers to eat less. Thecompanies also said that they woulddevelop new lower-calorie options andchange existing products so they havefewer calories.

Evidence of those efforts are visibleon any grocery store shelf. Many prod-ucts now come in lower calorie ver-sions, are baked instead of fried, orsold in miniature as well as larger ver-sions.

Marks says he believes that compa-nies’ efforts to package smaller serv-ings — 100 calorie packs of popularsnacks, for example — and smaller cansof sugary drinks may have contributedto the reduction in calories. He says themain contributors most likely were thepublic’s increasing willingness to buyhealthier foods and companies respond-

ing to those consumers.The companies involved are all part of

an industry coalition of food businessescalled the Healthy Weight CommitmentFoundation that has organized to helpreduce obesity. The foundation pledgedto reduce the calories as part of an agree-ment with a group of nonprofit organi-zations and made the 2010 announce-ment as part of first lady MichelleObama’s Let’s Move campaign to com-bat childhood obesity.

To meet the commitment, the compa-nies took a variety of approaches. In astatement Thursday, Coca-Cola said ithad introduced more than 100 no-calorieand low-calorie beverages in the lastseven years and had introduced mini-cans of many of its products. Kraft saidit had changed recipes to lower sugars inCapri Sun juice drinks and Kraft barbe-

cue sauce.

Food industry cuts calories four-fold over pledge

The 2010 pledge taken by the companies — including General Mills Inc.,Campbell Soup Co.,ConAgraFoods Inc.,Kraft Foods Inc.,Kellogg Co.,Coca-Cola Co.,PepsiCo Inc.and Hershey Co.— was to cut 1 trillioncalories by 2012 and 1.5 trillion calories by 2015.

WASHINGTON — Doctors are warningthat if Congress cuts food stamps, the feder-al government could be socked with biggerhealth bills. Maybe not immediately, theysay, but over time if the poor wind up in doc-tors’ offices or hospitals as a result.

Among the health risks of hunger arespiked rates of diabetes and developmentalproblems for young children down the road.

The doctors’ lobbying effort comes asCongress is working on a compromise farmbill that’s certain to include food stamp cuts.Republicans want heftier reductions than doDemocrats in yet another partisan battleover the government’s role in helping poorAmericans.

Food stamps, known as the SupplementalNutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, feed1 in 7 Americans and cost almost $80 bil-lion a year, twice what it cost five years ago.

Conservatives say the program spiraled outof control as the economy struggled and thecosts are not sustainable. They say the need-iest people will not go hungry.

The health and financial risks of hungerhave not played a major role in the debate.But the medical community says cuttingfood aid could backfire through higherMedicaid and Medicare costs.

“If you’re interested in saving health carecosts, the dumbest thing you can do is cutnutrition,” said Dr. Deborah Frank of Boston Medical Center, who founded theChildren’s HealthWatch pediatric researchinstitute.

“People don’t make the hunger-healthconnection.”

A study published this week helps illus-trate that link. Food banks report longerlines at the end of the month as familiesexhaust their grocery budgets, andCalifornia researchers found that more poorpeople with a dangerous diabetes complica-tion are hospitalized then, too.

The researchers analyzed eight years of California hospital records to find cases of hypoglycemia, when blood sugar plummets,and link them to patients’ZIP codes.

Among patients from low-income neigh-borhoods, hospitalizations were 27 percenthigher in the last week of the month com-pared with the first, when most states sendout government checks and food stamps, said

lead researcher Dr. Hilary Seligman of theUniversity of California, San Francisco. Buthospitalizations didn’t increase among dia-betics from higher-income areas, she report-ed Tuesday in the journal Health Affairs .

Seligman couldn’t prove that running lowon food was to blame. But she called it themost logical culprit and said the cost of treating hypoglycemia even without a hos-pitalization could provide months of foodstamp benefits.

“The cost trade-offs are sort of ridiculous,”Seligman said.

She is working on a project with FeedingAmerica, a network of food banks, to try toimprove health by providing extra, dia-betes-appropriate foods, including freshproduce and whole-grain cereals and pastas,for diabetics at a few food banks inCalifornia, Texas and Ohio.

Last year, research from the Robert WoodJohnson Foundation and The Pew CharitableTrusts estimated that a cut of $2 billion ayear in food stamps could trigger in anincrease of $15 billion in medical costs fordiabetes over the next decade.

Other research shows children from food-insecure families are 30 percent more likelyto have been hospitalized for a range of ill-nesses. But after a temporary boost in bene-fits from the 2009 economic stimulus, chil-dren whose families used food stamps weresignificantly more likely to be well thankids in low-income families that didn’t par-ticipate, Children’s HealthWatch found.About half of food stamp recipients are chil-

dren, and 10 percent are elderlyHow much would be cut from the food-

stamp program ranges from $400 million ayear in a Senate-passed farm bill to $4 bil-lion a year in the House version.Congressional negotiators now are eyeingabout $800 million a year in cuts.

That would be on top of cuts in November,

when that 2009 temporary benefit expired.According to the Agriculture Department, afamily of four receiving food stamps is nowgetting $36 less a month. The averagehousehold benefit is around $270.

Since then, food banks are reporting moredemand because people’s food stamps aren’tstretching as far, said Maura Daly of FeedingAmerica.

Conservatives pushing the cuts say theywant to target benefits to the neediest peo-ple, arguing that those who are truly hungryshould have no problem getting assistanceif they apply.

The final bill will most likely crack downon states that give recipients $1 in heatingassistance in order to trigger higher foodstamp benefits. Republicans say anyonewho truly qualifies for a higher benefit still

can get it through SNAP.The bill also may test new work require-ments for recipients in a few states, a priori-ty for many Republicans.

“While this program is an important partof our safety net, our overriding goal shouldbe to help our citizens with the educationand skills they need to get back on their feetso that they can provide for themselves andtheir families,” said Majority Leader EricCantor, R-Va., when the farm bill was on theHouse floor last summer.

Democrats and anti-hunger groups oppos-ing the reductions have said that cuttingfood stamps could worsen health and raisehealth costs for the poorest.

“Food is medicine,” says MassachusettsRep. Jim McGovern, who has led theDemocrats’ defense of the food stamp pro-gram. “Critics focus almost exclusively onhow much we spend, and I wish they under-stood that if we did this better, we could savea lot more money in health care costs.”

Dr. Thomas McInerny, past president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said toooften, poor families buy cheap, high-calorie

junk food because it’s filling, but it lacksnutrients needed for proper child develop-ment. The two main consequences are later-in-life diabetes, and iron deficiency that,especially in the first three years of life, candamage a developing brain so that childrenhave trouble learning in school, he said.

“The children may not look malnourishedthe way children in Third-World countrieslook, but they are malnourished,” he said.

Doctors say cutting food stamps could backfire“While this program is an important part

of our safety net,our overriding goal should be to helpour citizens with the education and skills they need to get back on

their feet so that they can provide for themselves and their families.”

NEW YORK — The idea: With Food Network star Guy Fieriand comedian Judy Gold as my guides, find the best spot s forSuper Bowl-style grub in Manhattan.

The reality: Fire up “When Harry Met Sally” and loop it onthe diner scene (yes, the moaning). Now blast a laugh track,

then add a profanity-spewing rabbi, enough X-rated com-mentary to render much of the evening’s dialogueunquotable, and such gluttonous portions of high-fat foodthat by the end at least one of us would be vomiting.

You have a sense of the evening. Which is to say, pairingup with Fieri and Gold was more amusing, but less helpful,than hoped.

With the Super Bowl coming to the New York area nextmonth, I wanted to know where to go forthe over-the-top fare we’ve come toassociate with the big game. Solast month I got a tour from Fieri,a master of too-much-is-not-enough eating. He’s pimping thenew season of his show,“Rachael vs. Guy: CelebrityCook-Off,” so he brought alongGold, one of his co-stars.

Alittle predictably, we started the

evening at Guy’s American Kitchenand Bar, Fieri’s Times Square restau-rant made as famous by a scathing NewYork Times review as by the celebrityhimself. This was my first visit and —true to the hype — this is not theplace to go for great food. It was,however, an excellent place forgreat grub.

As Fieri regaled us withhis Super Bowl party foodphilosophy — “Youcan’t just order 10 piz-zas! That’s a throw-away! That’s an insultto the game. You’vegot to put some timeinto it.” — theonslaught began.

Something calledMongolian chickenwings bathed in asticky honey-soy saucehad Gold moaning loudly.“MMMMM! MMMMMM!Oh my God, it’s so good!AHRRRRRRR!” And exceptto occasionally ask waitress-es about gynecological proce-dures (just roll with it), thispretty much became her sound-track for the evening.

We were all smitten withRound 2, a rack of sashimitacos (crispy wontons filled

with ahi tuna, mango jicama salsa and a soy glaze).Knowing we had three more meals to come, we could andshould have stopped there. We didn’t. General Tso’s porkshank — a massive hunk of tender, sweet meat — landedwith a thud on the table and in our guts. It was followedclosely by a colossal French dip sandwich.

“I don’t think everyone will subscribe to this, but I put inas much time and attention when I’m putting together a

Super Bowl spread as I do Thanksgiving,” Fieri said. “Thisis the greatest day of the greatest game.”

Still it came. Aburger topped with mac and cheese, baconand six varieties of cheese. Bowls of beef, sausage andbacon chili. Tiramisu. Bread pudding doused with JackDaniels.

And then we piled into a car. Up next, Ben’s, a kosher delion 38th Street. Gold: “Ben’s?” she yelled. “We’re gonnahave some pastrami!”

We did. And matzo ball soup. And stuffed cabbage. Andlatkes. And a knish. And kreplach (a dumpling). And arabbi so excited to stop by our booth he dropped F-bombswhile telling Fieri what a fan he is.

But a Jewish deli for Super Bowl grub? Not your con-ventional accompaniment to spreads usually populatedwith guacamole and nachos. But Fieri and Gold agreed —whether it’s classics like chicken soup or bagels andcream cheese, Jewish food is comfort food. It’s rich andeasy. It’s right.

“Especially this time of year, if you’re getting readyto go to the Super Bowl or you’re going tailgating,man, I want somebody to bust out matzo ball soup,”

Fieri said.Gold was getting concerned with being

only halfway through our culinaryagenda. “How are we going to eat

anywhere else today? I’m going topuke!” So we compromised.

Instead of going into Defonte’sof Brooklyn — the Midtownoutpost of the nearly 100-

year-old Italian sandwichshop in Brooklyn — wepulled up outside and got

takeout to eat in the car.We ate it as we headedto our fourth stop.

Four massive subs

and a pile of much-needed napkinscame through thewindow — aNicky special(ham, salami,fried eggplant,

provolone cheese,and marinated mush-

rooms, among otherthings); a hot roast beef (roastbeef, fresh mozzarella, friedeggplant and jus); a Sinatraspecial (steak pizzaiola andfresh mozzarella); and a fire-house special (roast pork,

fried eggplant, broccoli raab and provolone cheese).“Oh my God, you’ve got to try this,”’Gold said, shoving

a hunk of the firehouse special at Fieri.“You’re like a Jewish drug dealer! ‘I’ve got a sandwich! Try

it! Eat it,”’he said.Yes, we were getting sick. Yet, slopping and dropping

food all over ourselves, we passed hunks of the massive,crazy good hero sandwiches back and forth through the car.

These are sandwiches that need no translation. You order upa dozen or so of these, slice them and line them up, and youhave an incredible Super Bowl feed. If the food is this good,there is no shame in takeout for a Super Bowl party.

By the time we reached Gold’s contribution to our agenda— Fred’s, a restaurant with a sports bar feel and walls plas-tered with photos of customers’ dogs — the car reeked of grinders. The only thing less appealing than getting out toeat another meal was staying in and smelling it longer. “Doyou have any place I can lay down?” Gold asked the hostess.

Our table quickly filled with food and wine. Arich Buffalochicken macaroni and cheese that had you not already con-sumed three dinners you wouldn’t be able to stop eating. ASuper Bowl salad (that’s its real name) of beets, goat cheese,oranges, walnuts and pineapple. A bacon and mushroomcheeseburger. “I’m sweating,” Fieri complained as he kepteating. “I’ve got the shakes.”

And then we were done. We kind of stared at each other. Ourmission accomplished, we were all thinking the same thing.

Gold put words to it.“If I throw up, I’m texting you.”The next day, at 2:07 p.m. my phone beeped.“Puked all night. So sick today. Not kidding,” Gold’s text

read. “I’m going to KILL you the next time I see you!!”I’d say we’re ready for some football.

moms and dads of dead soldiers,” says Berg. “And I was ata screening where there were 500 active members of spe-cial operations, including Admiral (William) McRaven.And those are different. Because when those lights comeup, those people are going to look you in the eye.”

Over the years, SEALs have been played by the likes of Bruce Willis, Steven Seagal and Demi Moore, and been a

mainstay in video games (“Call of Duty,” “Metal GearSolid”). But the movies, often in close consultation withthe military, have come a long way since 1990’s “NavySEALs,” with Charlie Sheen.

2012’s “Act of Valor” was acted out by active-dutySEALs and used live-ammo sequences to portray a fiction-al covert mission. Kathryn Bigelow’s “Zero Dark Thirty”dramatized the most famous SEAL mission, the raid inAbbottabad that killed Osama bin Laden. The recent docu-drama “Captain Phillips” recreated the rescue of the kid-napped mariner by SEAL snipers, w ith Tom Hanks’ most-moving scene improvised with a real-life Naval officer.

Such productions, though, have given rise to questionsof accuracy and charges of propaganda.

U.S. senators, including Dianne Feinstein and JohnMcCain, claimed that too much information was sharedwith the filmmakers of “Zero Dark Thirty,” and many crit-icized the film for suggesting torture aided the hunt for

bin Laden. “Captain Phillips” showed only a handful of the 19 shots that were fired on the three Somali pirates,and didn’t mention the $30,000 that went missing in theaftermath. Retired Army lieutenant general James B.Vaught argued that “Act of Valor” revealed too much abouttactics: “Get the hell out of the media!” he implored.

But the military sees in the movies a chance to shape itsimage and insure some degree of authenticity in depic-tions of its service men and women. “Lone Survivor” haslargely drawn praise as a brutal ode to Navy SEALs and afaithful depiction of the moral confusion of combat.

“For films like ‘Black Hawk Down’and ‘Lone Survivor,’the commonality is the notion that this is an importantopportunity to set the record straight or at least to portraythings as they believe they happened,” says Philip Strub,head of the Defense Department’s Film and TelevisionLiaison Office.

It can make for a thorny mix of fictionalization, artistlicense and classification issues. Berg consulted frequent-ly with military liaisons and the Navy Office of Information while writing the script.

“I read the after-action reports,” says Berg. “I looked atthe autopsies. I went to Iraq. I met all these guys. We justfollowed the blue print that Luttrell laid out in his book.We never set out to do something non-Hollywood orHollywood. We just literally told the story.”

Says Wahlberg: “Everybody fell in line with what thegoals were, what the agenda was and how high the stan-dard was set by not only the SEAL team guys but their fam-ilies. It was a lot of pressure, but everybody took a lot of pride in the fact that we were taking part in this thing.”

When the film, which expands nationally in theatersFriday, premiered at the AFI Festival in November,Wahlberg made emotional comments about actors whobrag about military training for a movie.

“I was really talking about myself, because I’ve been

guilty of it many times, talking about how hard I had towork,” says Wahlberg. “It’s nothing compared to whatthey do.”

But Luttrell emerged from “Lone Survivor” with admira-tion for Berg and Wahlberg: “It’s all relative,” he says.“What I do for a living and what he does for a living isexactly the same. We both wake up in the morning, putout as hard as we can and then go to bed at night, hopingto see the next day.”

“They took this under their wing and they worked withit and brought it to life from the pages in the book, fromthe blood on the mountain.”

officials.“This is so much better than the first

budget I looked at three years ago,”said Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, who lauded the budget’s“fiscal responsibility.”

Fellow legislator state Sen. Jerry

Hill, D-San Mateo, also called the mes-sage a “very practical election yearbudget that appears to be responsibleat first blush.”

Closer to home, San Mateo CountyManager John Maltbie thinks the pro-posed budget details won’t greatlychange any of the existing health careand social services program but alsoknows there may be a lot of changingbetween now and the governor’s Maybudget revision.

“I don’t say that I don’t look at it butsort of smile and then say we’ll see inMay,” Maltbie said.

The state’s big budget upheavalshappened last year with the taking of the health realignment funds inresponse to the Affordable Care Act and

the formula change in local schoolfunding, Maltbie said.

“It certainly looks like a status quobudget right now,” said Iliana Douglas,director of the Human Services Agency.

The state budget proposal does callfor a reinstatement of 5 percent to wel-fare grants. Douglas said HSA wel-comes the restoration for its 2,300families on CalWorks public assis-tance but with the caveat that it stillfalls short.

“It will certainly help our familiesbut, with the cost of living in our coun-ty, it is still challenging for people,”she said.

HSA, like all affected county depart-ments, is digesting the budget detailsand expects to have more answers

about potential impacts next week.The courts are also taking a cautious

approach to the proposed budget whichcalls for a $100 million partial restora-tion to the state trial courts. JohnFitton, San Mateo County Court execu-tive officer, said the funding is appreci-

ated but still only a fraction of what the judicial branch has lost through morethan one billion dollars in cuts datingback to 2008.

“Justice remains at risk — particular-ly for those who are most vulnerable,”Fitton wrote in an email to the DailyJournal.

In San Mateo County, these cuts havemeant a 34 percent reduction in work-force and reduced service hours alongwith laying off three commissionersand closing four courtrooms, he said.

Although Maltbie doesn’t see muchchange for San Mateo County in thispreliminary budget, he said there maybe some benefit to open space andparks.

Sheriff Greg Munks also sees posi-

tives in Brown’s approach to reduceprison overcrowding and assistance forcounties housing former state inmatesnow in local control because of realignment.

The county, which has previouslylost out on millions in state jail con-struction funds, won’t likely benefitfrom a proposed new round of $500million in awards because the facilityis underway, Munks said.

However, he is pleased the governoris moving forward with plans to letinmates sentenced to more than 10years in county jails serve the time instate prison. The shift is predicated onthe state being able to comply with thefederal judges’ prison crowding reduc-tion order.

The county only has a couple suchinmates but the realignment popula-tion as a whole has led to an increase in

jail assau lts and conversion of jailspace for segregation, Munks said.

“I’m pleased with his acknowledg-ment and recognition of the burden thatcounties are feeling as a result of realignment,” Munks said.

Munks added it may not be enoughand the discussion may need to go far-ther.

The budget proposal also calls for

increased money to court securitywhich will go to the Sheriff’s Office.

“All in all, I think he is following upon his work to continue to work with uson these real issues,” Munks said.

The investment in public schools,especially the increase of more than$600 per student and college tuitionfreezes, particularly excited state Sen.Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/SanMateo. State Sen. Mark Leno, D-SanFrancisco, similarly appreciated thebudget but said Brown’s plan to paydown debt and build reserves but alsobe augmented by what he called a “bal-anced, long-term plan for recovery.”

Not every aspect of the budget pro-posal drew praise.

Gordon said he was concerned aboutthe plan to allocate money from thecap and trade program to high-speedrail. Gordon wants the revenue immedi-ately used on shovel-ready projects toreduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Gordon, who belongs to the budgetsubcommittee on transportation andresources, expects there to be “a verythorough discussion” on the plan.

Like Gordon, Hill and the others alsosay that yesterday’s budget message is

just the beginnin g.“It’s a good first start,” Hill said.

“Now we can improve upon it.”

LOCAL/STATE 31Friday • Jan. 10, 2014 THEDAILYJOURNAL

Brown’s $154.9 billion budget proposalincludes almost $61.6 billion for K-12schools. That’s an increase of $14.4 billionin education spending from the 2011-12 fis-cal year and an increase of $6.3 billion overthe 2013 budget level. For K-12 schools,funding levels would increase by $3,410 perstudent through 2017-18, including anincrease of more than $2,188 per student in2014-15 over 2011-12 levels, according tothe proposed budget.

Reflecting the recent significant increasesin Proposition 98 funding, total per pupilexpenditures from all sources are projectedto be $11,985 in 2013-14 and $12,833 in

2014-15, including funds provided for prioryear settle-up obligations. Ongoing K-12Proposition 98 per pupil expenditures inthe budget are $9,194 in 2014-15, up fromthe $8,469 per pupil provided in 2013-14and the $7,006 provided in 2011-12.

Other local school officials were not sopleased with the proposed budget. PhilipWeise, trustee for the South San FranciscoUnified High School District, said the budg-et will hurt basic aid districts, those whichfund their revenue limit entirely throughproperty taxes and receive no general pur-pose state aid.

“It’s going to hurt the district to tune of $8 million because our district is a basic aiddistrict and there’s not very many districtslike that in California,” he said. “There’sbeen an effort in the state to punish basic aid

districts. One of the ways they do that iswithholding payback to us. It’s very unfairto the students in our district.”

Ted Lempert, San Mateo County Board of Education trustee, agreed there are stillplaces for improvement for funding educa-tion in the state.

“Additional investment in K-12 is very

needed,” he said. “We still have a ways to goto be competitive with other states and

unfortunately there’s insufficient funding forearly learning and child care.”

There is an effort in the state Legislatureto make transitional kindergarten availablefor all 4-year-olds with Senate Bill 837, theKindergarten Readiness Act.

Other school officials agreed with Lempertabout needing an inclusion of early educa-tion matters in the budget, including SethRosenblatt, trustee for the San CarlosElementary School District.

“It’s good news more money is availablefor education,” he said. “I appreciate thedevil is in the details and there’s many stepsbefore it’s finalized. I do hope they includetransitional kindergarten as part of the pro-posal.”

Shelley Viviani, lead negotiator for theSan Mateo County Educators Association,said it looks as though the increase in fund-ing to schools is going to be relativity sig-nificant. She still sees the amount of moneygoing to education in California as deficientcompared to other states.

Meanwhile, the state superintendent of education was satisfied with the proposedbudget.

“This budget builds upon California’srecommitment to ensuring that every childgraduates with the tools they need to succeedin the society and economy they will findoutside their classrooms,” SuperintendentTom Torlakson said in a statement. “Perpupil spending continues to climb — withadditional funding for the most vulnerableof our students under the Local ControlFunding Formula. And schools face theprospect of starting the next school yearwith billions of dollars of deferrals finallyrepaid.”

Three injured in Amgen

explosion,lab damagedThree employees were injured in an

explosion and fire that occurred at anAmgen Inc. laboratory in South SanFrancisco Wednesday afternoon, a stateworkplace safety agency spokesman said.

California Division of OccupationalSafety and Health spokesman Peter Meltonsaid safety inspectors were sent to thebiotechnology company building locatedat 1120 Veterans Blvd. a fter the explosio nwas reported at about 3:30 p.m.

The incident apparently started whencleaning solvents used to ster i l izeequipment caused a chemical reactionthat created a flash fire, South San

Francisco fire officials said.The building was evacuated and a haz-

ardous materials response deployed but fireofficials later determined that no chemicalswere released into the atmosphere.

Melton said three employees were in thelab when the explosion happened and twoof the three were taken to a hospital wherethey were treated for their injuries andreleased.

The third employee only suffered a bruiseto her leg, he said.

The explosion and a subsequent firecaused extensive damage to the lab, includ-ing blowing out the windows, Melton said.

Local brief


Gov. Jerry Brown’s budget for the comingfiscal year includes several proposals to helpcomply with a federal court order requiringthe state to reduce prison overcrowding bymid-April to improve medical and mentalhealth care for inmates.

It also assists counties that are increasing-ly handling felons who previously wouldhave been housed in state prisons.

The Brown administration will take stepsimmediately that lead to the earlier release of some inmates, as previously ordered by thefederal judges. Those steps include expand-ing the existing medical parole program thatin the last three years has allowed for theparole of 56 medically incapacitatedinmates; considering parole for inmates age60 or older who have served at least 25 yearsin prison; and increasing good-time creditsfor non-violent second-strike offenders.Second-strikers previously could earn up to20 percent off their sentences, but in the

future could be released after serving two-thirds of their sentences.

The Department of Corrections andRehabilitation projects that the threechanges might result in the earlier release of nearly 1,600 inmates by April 2016: 85 eld-erly inmates; 100 incapacitated inmates; and1,400 second-strikers.

On Thursday, he said his administration isstill asking for a two-year extension of theApril 18 deadline to allow the state to addmore prison cells and hospital beds. If thecourt declines, the governor said he is pre-pared to send another 4,000 inmates to pri-vate prisons out of state.

“We think we can get the extension. And if we don’t, then we’ll do the best we can tomake sure that we have the capacity,” hesaid.

Other prison-related aspects of thebudget proposal released Thursday:

• Frees up $81 million for rehabilitation

programs that otherwise would be spent tohouse inmates, if the federal judges grant thetwo-year extension to meet a court-orderedprison population cap.

• Spends $8.3 million to redesign the 600-bed Northern California Reentry Facility inStockton, although it will take more thantwo years to ready the facility to house male

inmates.• Adds $14 million to fight the smugglingof drugs and other contraband, includingcellphones.

• Allocates nearly $65 million for theDepartment of State Hospitals to help theagency deal with a more violent mentally illpopulation that increasingly comes from thecriminal justice system. AU.S. District judgelast year ordered increased federal oversightafter finding problems with the department’streatment of mentally ill inmates.

• Gives counties $500 million for new jailspace, on top of $500 million that is nowbeing distributed through a competitivegrant program. The proposal requires that

counties demonstrate they are taking stepsto lower their jail populations by freeingmore suspects who are awaiting trial.

• Inmates sentenced to more than 10 yearsin county jails under the state’s two-year-oldcriminal justice realignment law would againserve their time in state prisons. That wouldincrease the prison population by a project-

ed 300 inmates, felons that sheriffs have saidthey are not equipped to handle. The shiftwould come only if the state is able to com-ply with federal judges’ prison crowdingreduction order.

• Reduces the cost to counties to send localinmates to state-run firefighting camps.Counties have said the current $46 daily rateis too costly. Counties would pay $10 a dayfor each inmate at a firefighting camp, and$81 each day the inmates are being trained.

• Requires that all felony sentences servedin county jails be split between jail time andmandatory supervision, unless a judge con-cludes that a split sentence is not in theinterest of justice.
