By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Growing concerns about teens cellphone and Internet use
has led one group in the San Mateo Countys Leadership
Program to begin an outreach project to educate parents and
kids about online behavior.
The project is part of the 10-month program that allows
community leaders from the cities of Burlingame,
Hillsborough, Foster City and San Mateo to increase their
knowledge of the community and community issues while
enhancing their individual effectiveness through exposure
to leadership characteristics. In September 2013, the group
met and ve projects came out of the program, including the
one focusing on cyberbullying.

Those in the Millbrae Elementary School
District hope a 4 percent raise for teachers
will be one of the rst steps in quelling ten-
sions between district ofcials and teach-
ers.
The districts teachers union, the
Millbrae Education Association, reached a
tentative agreement for the 2013-14 school
year at the end of last week. Tensions and a
request for better treatment of teachers
stemmed from the December 2013 resigna-
tion of Taylor Middle School Principal
Lesley Martin, who some felt was intimi-
dated by the superintendent and school
board into leaving. Because of the issues,
the executive board of the Millbrae
Education Association, as well as the
Taylors classied and certied employees,
voted no confidence in Superintendent
Linda Luna.
The Millbrae Education Association and
the Millbrae Elementary School District are
pleased to announce that they have reached
a tentative agreement on the teachers con-
tract providing a 4 percent increase on the
salary schedule and 1.5 percent increase to
health and welfare benets, according to a
joint statement from the district and union.
The agreement will be submitted to the unit
members for ratication and to the govern-
ing board for approval after the County
Ofce of Education reviews the nancial
impacts of the agreement.

Storm sinks Big Bear
Lake pirate ship tour boat
BIG BEAR LAKE Only one boat
on Big Bear Lake has a liquor license
and its underwater. The pirate ship
tour boat sank under the weekends
barrage of rain, snow and high wind
in Southern California.
The 27-ton boat has been docked at

nt take it down, weather did.
The 43-foot boat is used for sum-
mer tours and can be rented for birth-
days, weddings and other parties.

Man gets prison for
flying cocaine to Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH Aman who helped
fly cocaine from California to
Pittsburgh will spend 20 years in fed-
eral prison in a scheme that unrav-
eled when he lost track of a carry-on
bag containing more than 40 pounds
of the drug.
Forty-five-year-old Ruben
Mitchell, of Stockton was sentenced
Monday by a federal judge in
Pittsburgh.
Defense attorney William
Kaczynski argued for a lesser sen-
tence, saying Mitchell quit the drug
business after he lost the bag on
Pittsburgh-bound flight in February
2009.
But Assistant U.S. Attorney Ross
Lenhardt told the sentencing judge
Mitchell didnt quit, he was fired.
Investigators say a flight attendant
put the bag in the planes cargo hold
because it wouldnt fit in an overhead
luggage compartment. The bag was
then mistakenly unloaded during a
layover in Las Vegas, where the drugs
were found.

Betti of Martinez was hit and killed
by the train traveling through town
Sunday evening.
BNSF Railway spokeswoman Lena
Kent said Monday three crewmem-
bers aboard the train heading from
Richmond to Fresno noticed the girl
and someone else on the tracks.
Kent says the girl and the other
person left the tracks initially, but
the girl went back on the tracks to
retrieve something.
The girl was an 8th grader at

SACRAMENTO Major issues facing the
Legislature, including a water bond and
reshaping the states rainy day fund, can be
addressed this year despite the loss of
Democrats supermajority, the state Senate
leader said Monday.
Democrats two-thirds majority in the
Senate ended when Sen. Ron Calderon took
an indenite leave of absence this week after
being indicted on federal corruption charges.
Last week, Sen. Roderick Wright took a leave
after he was convicted of voter fraud and per-
jury. Their departures drop Democrats major-
ity to 26 in the 40-seat chamber, one less
than they need to raise taxes, pass emergency
legislation and put consti-
tutional amendments
before voters without
Republican support.
In general, I dont
think there will be a large
effect. We havent used the
two-thirds that much,
Senate President Pro Tem
Darrell Steinberg, D-
Sacramento, told reporters
outside the Senate cham-
ber.
Democrats won supermajorities in the
Assembly and Senate in 2012, and they retain
that edge in the Assembly. But Steinberg said
some major issues would have required bipar-
tisan support regardless.
For instance, he said Democrats efforts to
substitute a lower-cost water bond for the
$11.1 billion plan currently on the
November ballot already would have required
Republican votes because Democrats are split
on the details, including how much funding
should go toward creating new reservoirs.
Gov. Jerry Brown and his fellow Democrats
also want to substitute a different version of a
rainy day reserve fund for the pending consti-
tutional amendment previously negotiated
with Republicans.
Its going to take some cooperation from
the minority party, especially if we have less
than the two-thirds supermajority. But were
ready to engage in real discussions with them
and get it done, Steinberg said to reporters
after the Senate oor session.

NEW YORK Ellen DeGeneres celeb-
studded sele from the most-watched Oscars
telecast in a decade was a landmark social
media moment at a time online conversa-
tion is boosting television viewership and
vice versa.
Its also a murky example of what is or
isnt product placement in a hyper-marketed
world. Would the worlds most retweeted
photo have been shot by an iPhone if
Samsung hadnt been a commercial sponsor
of the Academy Awards?
An estimated 43 million people watched
12 Years a Slave win the Oscar for best
picture on Sunday night. It was the most-
watched Academy Awards since 2004, when
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King was
the best picture. And it was the most popu-
lar entertainment event on TV since the
Friends nale that year. The Oscars are
generally the most-watched TV event of the
year after the Super Bowl.
Oscar night was also big for Jimmy
Kimmel. The ABC late-night star drew just
under 7 million viewers for his post-
Oscars special, the biggest audience hes
ever gotten on ABC, despite starting at
12:42 a.m. on the East Coast. The ratings provide further evidence of
how big event programming is a growth
engine for broadcast networks, in large part
because of fans watching the event and con-
versing with friends on tablets and smart-
phones. Twitter said that some 14.7 million
tweets mentioning the Oscars or prominent
actors and lms were sent out during the
Sunday night telecast, and Facebook said
there were 25.4 million interactions about
the show.
Social media was clearly a driving force
Sunday and is why live events on networks
have become basically the currency, co-
producer Neil Meron told the Associated
Press.
What its all about right now is creating
a conversation, and social media allows for
the conversation as its happening, he
said.
No social media moment was bigger than
when host DeGeneres briey caused Twitter
to crash after going into the audience and
asking Bradley Cooper to take a picture
with several other stars crowding around.
Besides Cooper and DeGeneres, Meryl
Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Kevin Spacey,
Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
also crowded into the frame. She asked
viewers to help her set a retweet record, and
they quickly complied.

WASHINGTON When Apple, Google,
Microsoft and other tech giants united in
outrage last summer over the National
Security Agencys unfettered spying,
telecommunications giants such as AT&T,
Verizon and Sprint whose customers are
also the targets of secret government spy-
ing remained noticeably mum.
But now the phone companies are speak-
ing up. In closed-door meetings with poli-
cymakers they are taking a less accommo-
dating stance with government and rattling
the historically tight bond between telecom
and the surveillance community.
Its been extremely unusual for telecoms
to resist any requests from the govern-
ment, says software engineer Zaki Manian
of Palo Alto, who advocates against mass
government surveillance.
The telecom companies have a long his-
tory of providing raw data dumps to the
government and typically taking some
money in return and calling it a day,
Manian says.
Technology companies typically comply
with requests for information about individ-
ual users but resist demands for bulk data.
But telecommunications companies share a
connection with government unlike that of
any other industry.
They have been tied to our national
security agencies for all of their history,
says Susan Crawford, a visiting professor
at Harvard Law School who was a special
assistant to President Barack Obama for
science, technology and innovation poli-
cy.
During World War II and for decades after,
telegraph companies such as Western Union
which was controlled by AT&T turned
over copies of international telegrams orig-
inating in the U.S. to the NSAand its pred-
ecessor agency. In the 1950s, 60s and 70s,
government agents reviewed tens of thou-
sands of telegrams each month under
Project Shamrock, deemed by lawmakers
to be the biggest intelli-
gence-intercept operation in
U.S. history.
Since the earliest days of
wiretapping in the late 19th
century, telephone compa-
nies have assisted law
enforcement and intelli-
gence agencies. For decades,
a series of laws cemented the
relationship, including a
1994 wiretapping act that
requires telecom companies
to build networks that allow
law enforcement to eavesdrop in real time.
But 2014 marks a pivotal moment for the
telecom industry. White House policymak-
ers are considering signicant changes as
public debate about surveillance heightens
in the aftermath of NSAspying exposed by
former agency contractor Edward Snowden.

UNITED NATIONS Ukraines fugitive
president requested Russian soldiers in the
strategic Crimea region to establish legiti-
macy, peace, law and order, Russias U.N.
ambassador said Monday, contradicting the
presidents own comments last week, while
Ukraines ambassador said 16,000 troops are
now deployed there.
The disclosure of ousted President Viktor
Yanukovychs support for Russian military
intervention was made at the third emergency
meeting of the U.N. Security Council since
Friday. It came amid fears that the Kremlin
might carry out more land grabs in pro-
Russian eastern Ukraine.
Russia faced demands from almost all coun-
cil members to pull its troops out of Crimea
and got no support for its military action
from close ally China.
With the exception of one member of the
Security Council the Russian Federation
we have heard overwhelming support for
the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and for
peaceful dialogue, U.S. Ambassador
Samantha Power said.
Action by the U.N.s most powerful body
appears unlikely, though Britains U.N.
Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said, We cer-
tainly do not rule out presenting resolutions
in the Security Council in the next few days.
Russia has veto power as a permanent mem-
ber and can block the council from adopting
any resolution criticizing or sanctioning
Moscow.
During the heated meeting, Russian
Ambassador Vitaly Churkin strongly defend-
ed his governments actions as fully appro-
priate and legitimate to defend the human
rights of the Russian-speaking minority in
Ukraine, which he claimed is under threat of
oppression from the north and west after vio-
lent protests swept in a new government.
He told the council he was authorized to
read a statement from Yanukovych and
offered to show council members a copy
requesting Russian President Vladimir Putin
to use his armed forces to restore peace and
defend the people of Ukraine.
Yanukovych ed the former Soviet republic
to Russia after his ouster and had said Friday
that he would not ask for Russian forces.
Churkin quoted Yanukovych as saying
Ukraine is on the brink of civil war, people
particularly in the Russian-speaking Crimea
are being persecuted for language and politi-
cal reasons and there are open acts of terror
and violence under the inuence of Western
countries.
Russia: Yanukovych requested troops in Crimea
Court skeptical of IQ scores in deciding execution
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court indicated Monday
that states should look beyond an intelligence test score
in borderline cases of mental disability to determine
whether a death row inmate is eligible to be executed.
Twelve years after the Supreme Court barred execution
of the mentally disabled, the justices heard arguments
about how states evaluate claims of mental disability
that, if substantiated, protect inmates from being put to
death.
Five justices, enough to form a majority, pointed
repeatedly to the margin of error inherent in IQ and other
standardized tests.

KIEV, Ukraine Russian troops said to be
16,000 strong tightened their stranglehold
on Ukraines Crimean Peninsula Monday,
openly defying the U.S. and the European
Union and rattling world capitals and stock
markets.
The West struggled to nd a way to get
Russia to back down, but with little beyond
already threatened diplomatic and economic
sanctions, global markets fell sharply over
the prospect of violent upheaval in the heart
of Europe.
For its part, Moscow reiterated its price for
ending the crisis: restoration of a deal reached
with the opposition less than two weeks ago
to form a national unity government in Kiev
that represents pro-Russian as well as
Ukrainian interests, with new elections to be
held by December.
Ukraine, meanwhile, accused Russia of
piracy for blocking two of the besieged coun-
trys warships and ordering them to surrender
or be seized.
The U.S. originally estimated that 6,000
Russian troops were dispatched to Crimea,
but Ukraines mission to the United Nations
said Monday that 16,000 had been deployed.
That stoked fears that the Kremlin might carry
out more land grabs in pro-Russian eastern
Ukraine.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was
headed to Kiev in an expression of support for
Ukraines sovereignty, and the EU threatened
a raft of punitive measures as it called an emer-
gency summit for Thursday. The Pentagon
said it was suspending exercises and other
activities with the Russian military.
But it was Russia that appeared to be driv-
ing the agenda.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a
U.N. Human Rights Council session in
Geneva that Ukraine should return to an agree-
ment signed last month by pro-Russian
President Viktor Yanukovych but not
Moscow to hold early elections and surren-
der some powers. Yanukovych ed the coun-
try after sealing the pact with the opposition
and foreign ministers of France, Germany and
Poland.
Instead of a promised national unity gov-
ernment, Lavrov said of the edgling new
administration in Kiev, a government of the
victors has been created.
The latest ashpoint came when Ukrainian
authorities said Russian troops had issued an
ultimatum for two of the besieged countrys
warships to surrender or be seized.
I call on the leadership of the Russian
Federation. Stop the aggression, stop the
provocations, stop the piracy! These are
crimes, and you will be called to account for
them, said acting Ukrainian President
Oleksandr Turchynov.
The commanders and crews are ready to
defend their ships. They are defending
Ukraine, Turchynov said in a televised
address to the nation after a military
spokesman said Ukraines corvette Ternopil
and command ship Slavutych were being
blocked by four Russian navy ships in the
Crimean port of Sevastopol.
Vladimir Anikin, a Russian defense min-
istry spokesman, dismissed the accusation as
nonsense but refused to elaborate.
In Washington, the State Department
warned of a dangerous escalation and said
the U.S. would hold Moscow directly account-
able for any threat to Ukraines navy.
Russia is on the wrong side of history in
Ukraine, President Barack Obama said, adding
that continued military action would be a
costly proposition for Russia. Speaking to
reporters in the Oval Ofce, Obama said the
U.S. was considering economic and diplomat-
ic options that will isolate Russia, and called
on Congress to work on an aid package for
Ukraine.
Russia sets Ukraine agenda
with diplomacy and threats
ISLAMABAD Gunmen stormed
Pakistans main court complex in Islamabad
on Monday, cutting down eeing lawyers
before blowing themselves up in a rampage
that killed 11 people. It was the worst terror
attack in years in the capital, which has large-
ly been spared the violence raging in many
parts of the country.
The bloodshed undermined the govern-
ments efforts to negotiate a peace deal with
the main militant group, the Pakistani
Taliban, just days after the organization
announced a one-month cease-re for the
talks.
The Pakistani Taliban denied responsibility
for the attack. But the violence underscored
the difculty of negotiations when numerous
militant groups are operating in Pakistan.
And it raised questions of whether the Taliban
can control some of their factions that may
oppose talks.
The attack stunned the capital, a normally
quiet city of wide, tree-lined boulevards that is
home to diplomats, generals, aid workers and
government ofcials. It was the deadliest
attack in Islamabad since a 2008 truck bomb-
ing at the Marriott Hotel killed 54 people.
In an assault that lasted roughly 20 min-
utes, gunmen swarmed through the narrow
alleys between the complexs buildings, hurl-
ing grenades and ring automatic weapons
wildly, witnesses said.

WASHINGTON The Pentagon says it is

with the Russian military, in light of
Moscows military involvement in
Ukraine.
APentagon spokesman, Navy Rear Adm.
John Kirby, said Monday evening that the
U.S. military has put on hold all military-
to-military engagements, including bilater-
al meetings, port visits and planning con-
ferences.
Kirby said the Pentagon values the rela-
tionship it has developed with the Russian
military in the last few years, to reduce the
risk of military miscalculation.
He said the U.S. calls on Russian forces in
the Crimea region of Ukraine to return to
their bases.

WASHINGTON Striving for unity
among Democrats rather than compromise
with Republicans, President Barack Obama
will unveil an election-year budget on
Tuesday that drops earlier proposals to cut
future Social Security benets and seeks new
money for infrastructure, education and job
training.
But Obamas almost $4 trillion budget
plan is likely to have a short shelf life. It
comes just three months after Congress and
the White House agreed to a two-year, bipar-
tisan budget pact that has already set the
parameters for this election years budget
work. Democrats controlling the Senate
have already announced they wont advance
a budget this year and will instead skip ahead
to the annual appropriations bills for 2015,
relying on new spending caps set by
Decembers budget deal that provide $56
billion less than what Obama wants in
2015.
Obama would divide the extra money
equally between the Pentagon and domestic
initiatives like boosting manufacturing
hubs, job training and preschool programs
and cutting energy waste. Republicans are
likely to balk at the idea, which would be
paid for by curbing special interest tax
breaks and making spending cuts elsewhere
in the budget.
Obama has also announced a four-year,
$302 billion plan to boost spending on
highways, rail projects and mass transit.
Half of the initiative would be nanced
through corporate taxes. Funding for high-
way and mass transit projects expires at the
end of September, and theres bipartisan
interest in nding a supplemental funding
stream to augment stagnant revenues from
the $18.4 cents-per-gallon gasoline tax.
Obamas budget arrives after a tumultuous
year that began with Obama muscling
through a 10-year $600 billion-plus tax
increase on upper-bracket earners. Feeling
stung, Republicans refused to yield on about
$80 billion in automatic spending cuts that
began in March. Then, conservatives in the
GOP forced a 16-day partial government
shutdown over funding to implement the
nations new health insurance program.
Obamas 2015 budget appeals to Democrats
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON Seeking to salvage an
elusive Middle East peace plan, President
Barack Obama pressed Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday to
make the tough decisions needed to move
forward on talks with the Palestinians.
But facing a U.S.-imposed April deadline,
the Israeli leader declared pessimistically
that, Israel has been doing its part and, I
regret to say, the Palestinians have not.
Netanyahus comments underscored the
slim prospects of reaching an agreement to
the long-running conict, despite a robust
effort led by Secretary of State John Kerry.
Obama and Netanyahu spoke before an
Oval Ofce meeting on a snowy Monday in
Washington. The meeting marked a more
direct foray into the peace negotiations by
Obama, who will also meet at the White
House later this month with Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
It is still possible to create two states, a
Jewish state of Israel and a state of
Palestine, with people living side by side in
peace and security, Obama said. But its
difficult. It requires compromise on all
sides.
While the relationship between Obama
and Netanyahu has improved after early ten-
sions, the two leaders still grapple with
deep differences, particularly on Iran. Israel
sees Irans nuclear program as an existential
threat and fears Tehran is using U.S.-led
negotiations to stall while it builds a bomb.
Obama, seeking to reassure Netanyahu,
afrmed his absolute commitment that Iran
does not acquire a nuclear weapon.
Netanyahu insisted Monday that Iran
must suspend all uranium enrichment,
though any nal deal between the interna-
tional community and Iran would likely
leave the Islamic republic with a small
enrichment capacity.
No country has a greater stake in this,
said Netanyahu, who is in Washington to
speak at the annual meeting of AIPAC, the
largest pro-Israel lobby.
Obama, who has twice addressed the con-
ference, is not speaking this year, though
Kerry was scheduled to speak Monday
night.
In excerpts released ahead of his speech,
Kerry outlined what he called the endgame
in the peace negotiations. He said a peace
deal must include security arrangements that
leave Israel more secure, mutual recognition
of states for the Jewish and Palestinian peo-
ple, an end to all conict, a just solution for
Palestinian refugees, and an resolution
that nally allows Jerusalem to live up to
its name as the city of peace.

Are you serious?
Editor,
I just read a brief article in Mondays Daily
Journal which said that state Sen. Ron
Calderon is taking a leave of absence rather
than resigning his position in light of some
very serious charges of corruption being
brought against him. To be more clear, he is
taking a leave of absence with pay
($95,000+ annually).
This would be laughable if it werent so
outrageous and a complete disregard of the
use of taxpayer resources. Have we lost all
semblance of common sense? I completely
understand Mr. Calderons desire to take a
leave to concentrate on defending the
charges against him, but I cant comprehend
the thinking which allows him to not do the
job for which he was elected but continue to
receive his salary for not doing that job.
The inmates are clearly running the asy-

Tim Draper Six Californias
Editor,
I have had several opportunities to listen
to intelligent and well articulated presenta-
tions by Mr. Tim Draper while he expounded
about his philosophy and ideas regarding
San Mateos Draper University for Heroes
and other subjects.
But for the life of me, I have not been able
to nd one iota of redeeming value in his
idea of splitting the state of California in six
separate pieces. Getting rid of Sacramento
gridlock has appeal, but why throw good
money into a black hole when the odds of
this initiative passing anticipated hurdles
are poor and unlikely, like playing the lotto.
The possibility of adding ve more Jerry
Browns to govern the proposed Californias
and another 10 Barbaras to the U.S. Senate
gives one pause.
Fortunately, history has shown our state as
having weathered well in previous attempts
to being divided into North and South or to
similar schemes. The factors making our
great state somewhat dysfunctional would
present the biggest hurdle to the idea:
entrenched politicians and their burgeoning
staffs who comprise the ever growing and
evolving industry we call government.
On November 2000, a $20 million fund
and much effort was marshaled into trying to
pass a state wide school voucher initiative.
We can be sure the failed initiative engen-
dered discussion about school reform, but at
a great cost.
If state voters were to approve the idea, the
chances of Congress approving it are nil to
none. Turf concerns alone may prevent the
acceptance of 10 additional New
Californians amongst their midst.
While Im not buying lotto tickets any
time soon, I do plan to be a signer of the
petition because I also do like to dream.

Drapers Six Californias?
Editor,
Have the super rich right wing Koch broth-
ers adopted a new son? Namely, super rich
Tim Draper who operates his project for
Heroes of Entrepreneurship out of the old
Benjamin Franklin Hotel here in San Mateo.
Im thinking about the fact that the
California Republican Party has nothing to
lose and something to possibly gain by
Drapers scheme to Balkanize California
into six mini states. Would turning
California into yesterdays Yugoslavia or
todays Lebanon where competing ethnic,
economic, political and cultural interests
become formalized into actual statelets help
us? It would be all the harder to negotiate
compromises. Just when we see the
Republicans shrink rightfully into one third
of the electorate where they can no longer
engage in the destructive practices of
destroying our credit worthiness by refusing
to pass timely budgets and revenue measures
they oppose, we see this Draper proposal. It
makes you wonder.

Tesla battery plant
Editor,
In the Thursday Feb. 27, 2013, Daily
Journal at the bottom of page 10 is a very
disturbing article (Tesla plans new battery
factory; will employ 6,500). At least to me
it is extremely disturbing. Wow, 6,500 jobs,
but? Those jobs will be going to either
Texas, Arizona, New Mexico or Nevada, not
California. So, what is so disturbing about
the article? Well folks, the hard-working res-
idents and taxpayers of California have
given Tesla $612 million and another $34
million just last year for improvements and
expansion of its Fremont plant.
So isnt it kind of kick in the rear and an
arrogant move to not build its battery plant
in its home state. The state that has helped it
get where he is today (The Feds have also
helped the company with a guaranteed loan
which the company has paid back). Or is it
that California is not a business friendly
state and Elon Musk doesnt want to pay
high corporate taxes. Or maybe Panasonic is
persuading him to build somewhere other
than California.
For whatever reason, the help the taxpay-
ers of California has given Musk and his
expensive electric vehicle is enough to com-
plain to Sacramento and let them know this
is not a good move for a state that in reality
has a double-digit unemployment rate. This
must not happen to the good hard-working
people of California. Our state desperately
needs those jobs much worse than the other
states.

Response to Aadahl
Editor,
Once again Mr. Aadahl (Letter to the editor
Job loss nonsense in the Feb. 22 edition
of the Daily Journal) goes off on another
wild unsubstantiated rant about employment
actually increasing because of Obamacare.
His conclusion based on a faulty premise is
that net result is less unemployment.
If Mr. Aadahl would actually read the
CBOs report and subsequent clarications,
he might not take that position. The CBO
said, on Feb. 10 in an FAQ report:
Ultimately, we project that the number of
jobs in the economy will be smaller than it
would be in the absence of the ACAbecause
some people will choose not to work at all,
but CBO did not estimate the size of that
change separately from the effect of people
choosing to work fewer hours. We wrote in
the report: The reduction in CBOs projec-
tions of hours worked represents a decline in
the number of full-time-equivalent workers
of about 2 million in 2017, rising to about
2.5 million in 2024 The decline in full-
time-equivalent employment stemming from
the ACAwill consist of some people not
being employed at all and other people
working fewer hours; however, CBO has not
tried to quantify those two components of
the overall effect.
To be clear, total employment and hours
worked will increase over the coming decade,
but by less than they would have in the
absence of the ACA.
So lets forget about people leaving jobs
to become poets and photographers and
being replaced by other people. Net result is
that there will be fewer hours worked in the
American economy to the extent of 2 mil-
lion equivalent full-time workers.

which means Oscars have been
assigned, movies have been anoint-
ed and the proverbial water coolers are abuzz
about John Travoltas language problem and
Kim Novaks face (at least those who even
know who Hitchcock siren Kim Novak is).
This ofcial end of awards season also means
I have a new slew
of icks added to
my running men-
tal list of Very
Important Movies
that I Should
Watch But
Probably Never
Will.
The 2014 best
picture 12 Years a
Slave is by all
accounts amazing
and epic and accu-
rate and all but
life-changing while simultaneously making
viewers squirm and long for Tarantinos
humor-tinged Django Unchained. Doesnt
mean I want to see it. Im not against actual-
ly viewing the lm. I wont stomp my feet,
clench my eyes shout and whine if faced with
the prospect. But at the end of a long day
when my last nerve has been stepped upon
or during a few precious weekend hours,
theres little choice between kicking ones
emotions in the gut and spacing out on a
reality cooking showdown or mind candy bit
of cinema. Binge watching House of Cards
or even catching 15 minutes of Road
House for the umpteenth time lets be
honest here nearly always beats out
investing brain cells and heart strings into
movies one is supposed to see.
Case in point: currently, my DVR contains
both the movies Lincoln and Abraham
Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Take a guess as to
which one is most likely to be viewed in any
near future.
I felt the same way about Precious. If I
wanted to hear stories of sad people in
unimaginable situations, I might as well just
come to work and read the police blotter. But
admittedly I eventually did see the movie
when it ran on cable and found it well done,
engaging, moving and all the accolades Id
come to expect. I felt a little remiss in hav-
ing waited so long to see the movie. And, I
never want to watch it again.
Much like all those books you know you
should read but dont, the movie list is equal-
ly lengthy. Schindlers List. My Left
Foot. The Hurt Locker. Amour. The
Artist Ive seen all the cute clips with
the dog. Isnt that enough?
Not every movie I bypass falls in the
bucket of serious and depressing. Some just
dont have much pull. Gravity, this years
directorial darling at the Oscars, falls in the
same boat of eh, maybe someday. Even
astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tysons enter-
taining tweets questioning why actress
Sandra Bullocks hair seems to defy gravity
and other scientic oversights cant over-
come my apathy to watching her ght for
survival. No worries. Since I really didnt
want to watch it but felt I should be in the
know pre-Oscars, I did what any respectable
pop culture acionado does I Googled the
ending.
Besides, just because the 6,000-odd mem-
bers of some club known as the academy
label a movie the best doesnt mean theyre
right. Titanic, anyone? Crash?
Picking winners is apparently two parts
politics, one part marketing, a heavy dose of
sentiment, a smidgen of scratching each
others back, a sprinkling of actual talent
and blindly throwing darts at a target. In
other words, the cinematic assessments are
on par with judging Olympic gure skating.
At their best, movies are about pure
escapism and not awards. Just seems I and
the academy members have different routes.

NEW YORK Russias military
advance into Ukraine rattled global
markets Monday.
U.S. stocks fell the most in a month
and the price of crude oil rose sharply as
traders feared Russian exports could be
affected by sanctions. Gold and bond
prices rose as investors sought safety.
The Standard & Poors 500 index had
its biggest drop since Feb. 3, following
markets in Europe and Asia lower, as
Russias military tightened its grip on
the Crimea region of Ukraine.
It was the second time this year the
U.S. stock market has been roiled by
developments in emerging markets.
Stocks slipped in January as investors
worried about slowing growth in China
and other emerging economies. Now a
showdown in Ukraine has grabbed
investors attention and stoked fears of
a tit-for-tat campaign of economic
sanctions between Russia and Western
powers.
Financial markets are doing exactly
would you would expect them to, said
Phil Orlando, chief equity market strate-
gist at Federated Investors. You have
no idea what is going to happen and
how this is going to play out.
The S&P500 index fell 13.72 points,
or 0.7 percent, to 1,845.73, the
biggest drop since Feb. 3. The index
was down as much as 25 points at one
point before recouping some of the
ground it lost.
The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 153.68 points, or 0.9 percent,
to 16,168.03. The Nasdaq composite
fell 30.82 points, or 0.7 percent, to
4,277.30.
European markets fell even more.
Germanys DAX sank 3.4 percent and
Russias benchmark stock index
plunged 12 percent.
Europe gets a lot of energy supplies
from Russia, said David Kelly, chief
global strategist at JPMorgan funds.
So, Europe would be a lot more direct-
ly affected by a trade war with Russia
than the United States would.
Kelly says that the most likely sce-
nario is that Russia and Western pow-
ers, including the U.S., will reach a
compromise relatively quickly. That
would send stock prices higher.
As investors sold risky stocks, they
bought safer assets such as gold and
U.S. government debt securities. The
dollar and the Japanese yen also
increased in value.
The price of gold rose $28.70, or 2.2
percent, to $1,350.30 an ounce, its
biggest gain of the year. The yield on
the 10-year Treasury note, which moves
inversely to its price, fell to 2.60 per-
cent from 2.64 percent on Friday.
The price of crude following warn-
ings by Washington and other govern-
ments that Russia, a major oil exporter,
might face sanctions after it seized con-
trol of Ukraines Crimean Peninsula.
Russia was the worlds second-largest
producer of oil in 2012, accounting for
12.6 percent of global supplies,
according to the International Energy
Agency.
The prices of crude oil climbed $2.33,
or 2.3 percent, to $104.92 a barrel, its
highest price of the year.
Russian stocks that trade in the U.S.
were also hit hard. Mechel, a mining
company, fell 18 cents, or 9.5 percent,
to $1.72; Phone company VimpelCom
fell 51 cents, or 5 percent, to $9.65.
Energy company LukOil fell $3.20, or
5.9 percent, to $51.20.
The drop in stocks might also present
investors with the opportunity to buy
stocks at lower prices, said Terry
Sandven, chief equity strategist for U.S.
Bank.
Clearly geopolitical risks are ele-
vated, but its too early to tell about the
longer-term implications, Sandven
said.

Bitcoin exchange
looks into criminal complaint
TOKYO The Tokyo bitcoin exchange
that led for bankruptcy protection blamed
theft through hacking for its losses
Monday, and said it was looking into a crim-
inal complaint.
In an announcement posted on the Mt.
Gox exchanges website, CEO Mark
Karpeles outlined the events that resulted in
the companys insolvency and said there
was a high probability theft was behind
the disappearance of bitcoins.
We will make all efforts to ensure that
crimes are punished and damages recov-
ered, Karpeles said.
He said Mt. Gox will try to resume busi-
ness as a way of increasing repayments to
its creditors.
The online exchange was unplugged early
last week as rumors of its insolvency
swirled, adding to doubts about the viability
of bitcoins overall. Its woes are a setback
for bitcoin, a virtual currency that has
grown in popularity since its 2009 creation
as a way to make transactions across borders
without third parties such as banks.
U.S. sues Sprint over
companys wiretap expenses
SAN FRANCISCO Federal officials
filed a lawsuit Monday alleging that Sprint
Communications Inc. overbilled govern-
ment agencies $21 million for wiretap
services.
The lawsuit filed federal court in San
Francisco alleges that that subsidiary of
Sprint Corp. collected unallowable
expenses from the FBI, U.S. Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and other
government agencies while carrying out
court-ordered wiretaps and other electronic
intercepts of its customers.
Communication companies ordered by
courts to intercept customers communi-
cations are allowed to recoup the cost of
i nst al l i ng and mai nt ai ni ng t he wi re-
t aps.
The lawsuit arises from a dispute between
communication companies and the federal
government over the expense of installing
and maintaining wiretaps.

DETROIT March is the month to watch
for the U.S. auto industry.
Sales have been slower than expected so
far this year. As the spring thaw begins,
automakers will see if the slowdown was due
to historic cold temperatures and snowfall
as many believe or if there are deeper
reasons for sagging demand.
March will give us a sense of how real the
recovery is going to be this year, said Alec
Gutierrez, a senior analyst for Kelley Blue
Book.
Automakers entered 2014 expecting to
sell more than 16 million cars and trucks for
the rst time since the recession. But so far,
sales are on pace to hit around 15 million,
which would be 600,000 less than last year.
But Gutierrez believes sales will recover
reach 16.3 million for the year. The industry
sold 16.1 million vehicles in 2007.
We think there is still plenty of time left
this year for sales to rebound and kind of get
us back on that pace, he said.
On Monday, General Motors, Ford and
Toyota all reported U.S. sales declines for
February. The countrys top three automak-
ers by sales said the month started slowly
but sales began to recover in the second
half. If that momentum continues into
March, fears of a broader sales slowdown
may prove to be unfounded.
Industry analysts expect overall sales to
rise about 1 percent for the month, a slow
pace compared with the 8 percent increase
for all of last year.
Dealer inventories, especially for the
Detroit automakers, have hit their highest
level in ve years, putting pressure on com-
panies to clear their lots. At the end of
January, dealers had an 89-day supply of
cars and trucks, according to Wards
AutoInfoBank. Detroit automakers had the
most, with General Motors at 114 days, fol-
lowed by Ford at 107 and Chrysler at 105. A
60-day supply of vehicles is considered
ideal.
Chrysler and Nissan were able to notch
double-digit gains, but discounted some key
models to get there. That points to another
potential problem if automakers have to
offer steeper discounts to shrink their
inventories.

SAN FRANCISCO Apple is accelerat-
ing the race to make smartphone applica-
tions easier and safer to use in cars.
Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo are pre-
viewing Apples iPhone technology for cars
this week at an auto show in Geneva.
The partnerships give Apple an early lead
over Googles loosely knit family of
Android phones in a duel to make mobile
applications more accessible while drivers
are behind the wheel. Apples iOS mobile
software and Googles Android operating
system power most of the smartphones in
the world.
Just two months ago, Google Inc.
announced it is working with several major
automakers to turn Android phones into an
essential part of cars. Google hopes to n-
ish work on its system for tethering Android
phones to cars by the end of this year.
Apple Inc. announced its automobile
ambitions nine months ago when it
unveiled its iOS in the Car initiative a
reference to the operating system that pow-
ers the iPhone and iPad.
Now that the idea is moving closer to real-
i t y, Apple is renaming the technology
CarPlay.
The system announced Monday enables
iPhones to plug into cars so drivers can call
up maps, make calls and request music with
voice commands or a touch on a vehicles
dashboard screen.
By making smartphones work more seam-
lessly with automobiles, both Apple and
Google are hoping to immerse their servic-
es even deeper into peoples lives.

Anquan Boldin will be back with the San

The 49ers and Boldin agreed to a two-year,

Kaepernicks top target from last season

We are pleased that Anquan has chosen to

catches for 1,179 yards to go with seven
touchdowns last season. He was traded from
Baltimore to the 49ers in the offseason for a
sixth-round pick after helping the Ravens
win the Super Bowl.
While the salary-cap strapped Ravens

Sacred Heart Preps Tierna Davidson,left,scored twice in the nal 10 minutes to lift the Gators
to a 2-1 win over Burlingame in the quarternals of the CCS Division III tournament Saturday.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Ayear after a Central Coast Section semi-
nal loss to Santa Cruz, the Sacred Heart Prep
girls soccer team heads into this years
Division III seminal as a slight favorite
over Scotts Valley. And the Gators difference
maker this season has been the kid soph-
omore midelder Tierna Davidson.
In her rst varsity season, Davidson has
been a force through two playoff games. In
SHPs Feb. 25 playoff opener, Davidson
tabbed a goal and an assist in a 7-0 win over
Pacic Collegiate. Then in Saturdays quar-
ternal, the sweet left foot of Davidson com-
manded a comeback victory as she scored
two goals in the nal ve minutes of regula-
tion to keep the Gators season alive with a
dramatic 2-1 win over Burlingame.
Its because of Davidsons playoff prowess
that she has been named the Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
She is one of the brightest kids that Ive
coached, Sacred Heart Prep head coach
Ramiro Arredondo said. Just her sense of
awareness she has the it factor. Thats
what Tierna has.
Davidson is already being mentioned in
the same breath with some heavy-hitting
college programs Stanford, Santa Clara,
and Notre Dame to name a few which puts
her way ahead of the recruiting curve.
Remember, the kid is still just a sophomore.
Still, at 5-8 with a commanding presence on
the eld, she seems to be well ahead of the
playing curve as well.
Her decision not to play varsity soccer as a
freshman is proof positive of that. As a
member of one of the most prestigious club
team in the nation, the De Anza Force 98
Blue, Davidson and her then-freshman team-
mates had to make a decision whether or not
to play high school soccer, which, if they
had, would have left the half of the team still
in middle school without a team to play for.
We didnt think it was fair to stop the
team and let half the players go play high
school, and the other half have nowhere to
play, Davidson said. So now that everyone

he Peninsula Athletic League ruled
the rst round of the Central
Coast Section basketball play-
offs. Over the weekend, however, it was
the West Catholic Athletic League that
exed its collective muscles.
The WCAL went 14-2 in CCS play,
with only the Valley Christian boys hav-

Other than that, all the other teams had
early-round byes and did not have to play

On the boys side,

When pitcher Alex Palsha landed at
Sacramento State this season as a transfer from
the College of San Mateo, he was looking to
continue success on a long road back from an
injury that dramatically altered his baseball
career path.
Now four years removed from Tommy John
surgery, Palsha currently is in the diligent hands
of Sacramento States second-year pitching
coach Steve Holm. And if Holms baseball
resume is any indicator, those are some good
hands to be in.
After Holm caught 12
years of professional base-
ball 10 years of which he
spent in the Giants organi-
zation, including serving as
Bengie Molinas backup
with the major league squad
in 2008 Holm retired at
the age of 32 to accept an
assistant coaching posi-
tion at Sac State.
Hes a guru for what he does, Palsha said.
Hes caught all the (Giants) big-league
guys. Theres no better person to talk to
about pitching.
Holms impact on the Hornets pitching staff
was immense and immediate. In the 2012 sea-
son prior to his arrival, Sacramento State post-
ed a 5.25 ERA as a team. Just one year later,
Holms pitchers carved out a 3.63 staff ERA, the
lowest mark of any Sac State team since 1989.
Through 12 games this season, Hornets pitch-
ers own an overall 3.77 ERAand are off to a 6-6
start.
And Palsha is tting right in as the teams
workhorse, albeit in an unfamiliar role as a
relief pitcher. Since his sophomore year of high
school including three varsity and two jun-
ior-college seasons the right-hander totaled
just six relief outings prior to this year. Sunday
against USF at Benedetti Diamond, Palsha made
his seventh relief appearance of the year, cur-
rently tops in the Western Athletic Conference.
In the fall, we werent sure what that role was
going to be, Holm said. You know, he kind of
settled into that set-up role and its [gone]
really well. Hes got a really live arm. He can
come out for one inning or two and just kind of
let it eat.

Thank you thank
you thank you.
This is what I hear
over and over, year
after year, from
families that we
serve. Either
verbally or in hand-written cards or letters
families say thank you: Thank for your
help; Thank you for all you have done to
make this process easier; Thank you for
making this final tribute to my mother one
which will be fondly remembered; Thank
you for your advice; Thank you for being
there for us at a time we needed you most;
Thank you for making it all easy for us;
Thank you for being a friend, etc. To hear
Thank you time and time again is a
confirmation for me that our Chapel of the
Highlands crew is doing their best to serve
families whove been through a death, in an
appropriate and professional manner, and
that we are doing the right thing in caring
for families during a difficult situation, in
turn making it more of a comfort for them.
Normally saying Youre welcome is
the correct response. Youre welcome, or
You are welcome, can be taken a number
of different ways. Generally it means you
are always a welcome guest. It can also be
taken as a blessing meaning you wish
wellness on the person who thanked you.
Wishing wellness or health to anyone is a
nice gesture. In recent years though we all
have witnessed the term Youre welcome
being substituted with Thank you back at
the person who is doing the thanking. This
is OK, but saying Youre welcome first
is taken as a hospitable and warm gesture.
Now that Thank you and Youre
welcome have been established, I would
like to say thank you back to the families we
serve: Thank you for supporting the Chapel
of the Highlands. Thank you for your
faithful patronage. Because of you we have
been able to continue with our high
standards and excellent level of service for
many years, since 1952. Thank you to those
families who weve helped so many times in
the past. Thank you to the new families
whove discovered that we offer them
respect and provide the dignified care that
their loved one deserves.
Your support, and the continued interest
from the community in our service, is what
keeps us going strong and available when
we are needed. Our costs have always been
considered fair, and the funds taken in for
our services are also very much appreciated.
Those Chapel of the Highlands funds along
with our support sifts back to the community
in different ways. Donations to local causes,
along with the donation of time through
membership in service organizations such as
Lions, I.C.F., Historical Society, Chamber
of Commerce, etc. is natural for us. Giving
back as a volunteer via these groups helps in
binding us with our neighbors, together
creating a better community for the future.
All in all there are many ways to say
Thank you. Doing so in a variety of ways
can create a circle of gratitude, in turn
making our community a better place.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Two starting
pitchers looking to rejuvenate their careers,
right-handers Josh Johnson of San Diego
and Tim Lincecum of San Francisco, made
successful spring debuts on Monday in the
Padres 7-2 victory over
the Giants.
Johnson, who signed a
one-year, $8 million
free-agent contract with
San Diego after spending
the 2013 season with
Toronto, pitched two hit-
less innings and struck
out two. He was on the
disabled list for part of
2013 and had surgery on
Oct. 1 to remove bone spurs and loose carti-
lage in his right elbow.
Lincecum, who signed a two-year, $35
million deal in the offseason after nishing
10-14 with a 4.37 ERA in 2013, gave up a
hit, walked one and struck out one in two
innings. He was the National Leagues Cy
Young Award winner in 2008 and 2009.
The Padres Alexi Amarista broke a score-
less tie with a home run to lead off what
would prove to be a six-run sixth, and
Tommy Medica hit a two-run shot.
San Diego was 0-4-1 entering the game.
Starting time
Padres: The 6-foot-7 Johnson was pleased
with his outing.
I executed most of my pitches most of
the time, did what I wanted. If I wanted to go
in, I was in. I threw a couple of good
change-ups and a good slider, he said.
Everything was comfortable. I wasnt
ghting myself or my body.
He doesnt know if he will be able to
approach the level that enabled him to lead
the NLin ERA(2.30) in 2010 while with the
then-Florida Marlins, but he was encour-
aged.
I threw the best change-ups I had since I
was in the minor leagues, he said.
Giants: Lincecum made some mid-outing
adjustments that helped him settle down.
My hip was out of alignment, which
caused me to fall toward the plate instead of
drive (with the legs), Lincecum said.
He only threw a portion of his repertoire,
primarily the fastball, split-finger and
curveball but no slider.
It was good to get a sense of a real game-
type atmosphere, he said.
Some people were surprised that the
Giants decided to re-sign Lincecum, espe-
cially for such significant money, even
though he pitched a no-hitter against the
Padres on July 13. He threw a career-high
148 pitches and struck out 13.
I wanted to (re-) prove myself as a Giant,
not with some other club, Lincecum said.
Trainers room
Padres: Center elder Cameron Maybin
will be out two to three months after he rup-
tured his left biceps tendon while diving for
a ball against the Los Angeles Dodgers on
Sunday, the team said.
Will Venable likely will be the primary
replacement. Venable started in center and
hit leadoff against the Giants.
Giants: First baseman Brandon Belt con-
tinued to be bothered by a stiff neck.
Manager Bruce Bochy held him out Monday
because Belt couldnt swing a bat without
discomfort. Bochy said he hoped Belt would
be able to return to the lineup for a road
game on Tuesday against Colorado.
LHP Jeremy Affeldt (leg muscle surgery)
pitched a strong inning in a B game on
Monday against the Chicago Cubs, not
allowing a hit while walking one and strik-
ing out one.
Bochy called the setup mans outing real
good. He had a nice breaking ball and good
command of his fastball. He should feel
good about that inning.
Glimpse of the future
In the same B game against the Cubs,
right-hander Kyle Crick pitched two
innings, giving up a run on two hits. The
Giants supplemental first-round pick in
2011, listed as the Giants top prospect by
Baseball America, struck out the side in his
second inning.
Bouncing back
After a horrendous rst spring outing in
which he gave up six runs on seven hits in
one inning of work, closer Sergio Romo
returned to the mound on Monday and
pitched a hitless inning, striking out two.
Also, free-agent left fielder Michael
Morse, hitless in his rst eight at-bats,
nally got his rst hit as well as a walk.

PHOENIX Clayton Kershaw isnt sure
why hes off to a rough start in spring train-
ing, but hes not happy about it.
Not fun to deal with, the Los Angeles
Dodgers ace said, looking glum in the club-
house Monday after his outing against the
Athletics.
Kershaw allowed ve runs on two hits and
three walks during Oaklands 7-3 victory. He
was unable to get an out in the third inning.
The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner
gave up three runs and ve hits in two
innings last Wednesday in his rst start of
the spring. He looked strong in his rst two
innings Monday, retiring the As in order,
but opened the bottom of the third with
back-to-back walks to Daric Barton and
Derek Norris.
Sam Fuld and Nick Punto had run-scoring
hits, with another walk in between, and
Kershaws day was done. He struck out two.
The As scored all seven runs in the inning
and sent 12 batters to the plate.
Asked if he is concerned, Kershaw said
there is always concern for him when he
struggles. The left-hander signed a $215
million, seven-year contract in the offsea-
son, the richest ever for a pitcher.
Physically, feel great. I dont have any
excuses, he said. Searching for answers
right now. I know its spring training and it
doesnt matter, but it matters to me. So Ive
got to gure it out.
Dee Gordon drove in the Dodgers rst two
runs with a triple in the second off starter
A.J. Grifn. Andre Ethier added two hits and
an RBI.
Los Angeles committed four errors and
walked nine.
It was one of those games you like to for-
get, manager Don Mattingly said. It tells
you that were not ready, so weve got to
keep on working. Just tells us were not
there yet.
Kershaw was relatively short with the
media after his outing and clearly is unhap-
py with how his spring has gone so far. He
said even his bullpen sessions havent been
up to his standard.
I dont believe you come in to get ready.
Youre supposed to be ready every time you
pitch, he said. Hopefully Ill gure it out
here pretty quick.

MLBs expanded replay
gets rst test, calls upheld
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Challenged for the
rst time under Major League Baseballs
expanded replay system, umpires got it
right.
The umps went 3 for 3 on Monday as MLB
tried out the new format at three spring train-
ing games.
The rst test came in Fort Myers, Fla., after
first base umpire Fieldin Culbreth ruled
Toronto shortstop Munenori Kawasakis
throw pulled Jared Goedert off the bag in the
sixth inning.
After 2 minutes, 34 seconds, replay umpire
Brian ONora relayed his call by headset,
conrming that Minnesota batter Chris Rahl
was safe. During the wait, Rahl said he real-
ized he perhaps was part of history.
ONora made the nal ruling from a satel-
lite truck outside the stadium. During the reg-
ular season, umpires on the eld will check
with the replay booth in New York, where an
MLB umpire will make the nal call.
Later in the game, Culbreth rotated and
took a turn in the truck, conrming another
safe call at rst base.

PRETORIA, South Africa The rst witness
in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial testied
Monday to hearing blood-curdling screams
from a woman before she heard four gunshots
on the night the double-amputee Olympian
killed his girlfriend.
Michell Burger, who lives about 180 meters
(196 yards) from Pistorius house, said the
screams woke her in the pre-dawn hours of Feb.
14 last year, when Pistorius killed Reeva
Steenkamp by shooting four times through a
toilet door.
Pistorius, 27, says he killed Steenkamp by
mistake thinking she was a dangerous intruder.
Prosecutors, however, say the world-famous
athlete shot his girlfriend after a ght. As soon
as the trial started they used Burgers testimony
to hint at a loud argument before the fatal
shots.
Burgers evidence contradicts Pistorius ver-
sion of events because the runner said he
thought Steenkamp was in bed and did not
describe any woman screaming.
It was very traumatic, Burger said. You
could hear it was blood-curdling screams. You
cant translate it into words. The anxiousness
in her voice, and fear. It leaves you cold.
Burger said: She screamed terribly and she
yelled for help and testied that she also heard
a man shout for help before the shots were red.
Pistorius lawyer, Barry Roux, opened his
cross-examination by asking Burger if she
thought Pistorius was a liar. She didnt directly
answer that but questioned Pistorius version.
I can only tell the court what I heard that
evening, Burger said. I cannot understand
how I could clearly hear a woman scream but
Mr. Pistorius could not hear it.
Roux, in an attempt to discredit her recollec-
tion of the sequence of events, argued that she
heard just Pistorius screaming for help and try-
ing to get into the bathroom by breaking down
the locked door with a cricket bat.
Burger didnt concede ground, saying there
was no doubt in her mind she heard two dif-
ferent people screaming, one a woman, and
then the four gunshots, with a gap between the
rst shot and then the other three. She said she
could not mistake gun shots for the sound of a
cricket bat hitting a door.
Former Olympic sprinter pleads not guilty at murder trial

SAO PAULO Brazil is running out of time.
World Cup organizers will mark 100 days to
go on Tuesday with work still to be done on sta-
diums and infrastructure in the 12 host cities.
As national teams enter their nal phase of
preparations Wednesday in the only date this
year before mid-May that all players are avail-
able to national teams for exhibitions the
Brazilian government is trying to ensure the
country will be prepared for the 32-nation tour-
nament, which opens June 12. Brazil had near-
ly seven years to prepare after winning the bid
in 2007.
Listen, 100 days, its a long way to go and
its a short way to go if there are still problems,
FIFA President Sepp Blatter told FIFA.com.
But now all problems are under control and it
will be, in 100 days, an exceptionally good
start for an exceptional competition.
But there are four stadiums still under con-
struction, and work outside many venues is far
from over. Airports likely wont have all the
work completed, and many urban projects ini-
tially expected to be ready for the World Cup
wont be nished until after the event.
Doubts also remain about whether host cities
will meet FIFAs requirements for fan areas with
outdoor viewing screens.
Only six of the dozen stadiums were complet-
ed by last years deadline. Two may be ready less
than a month before the World Cup begins,
including the Sao Paulo site of the opener
between Brazil and Croatia.

Chris Bene, Sequoia boys basketball. Bene combined
for 37 points in two Central Coast Section playoff games last
week, going for 20 points and 13 rebounds in a win over Monta
Vista. He followed that with 17 points in a loss to Palo Alto in
the second round.
Nick Schnabel, Serra boys soccer. The senior striker
atoned for his missed penalty kick by scoring the equalizer and
game-winner goals in the Padres 4-2 win over James Lick in a
CCS Division II quarternal soccer game Saturday.
Leonardo Silva, El Camino boys soccer. Silva scored
both Colts goals in a 3-2 loss to Overfelt in the rst round of the
CCS Division III playoffs last week. He converted a penalty
kick in the 65th minute and scored the equalizer in the 78th
minute off a free kick from 30 yards away. Unfortunately, the
Colts could not get to overtime as Overfelt scored a minute later
to beat El Camino.
Sam Requilman, Notre Dame-Belmont girls basket-
bal l . Requilman scored 11 points, tying for game-high hon-
ors, as the Tigers beat Mercy-Burlingame 48-34 in a CCS
Division IVquarternal game Saturday.
Kevin Hahn, Aragon boys basketball. The senior cen-
ter was the catalyst in holding the opposing offense in check as
Aragon walloped Monterey, 52-33. Hahn notched double-gure
blocks with 10 as the Dons advanced to their rst Central Coast
Section seminal since 2003.
Rebecca Faulkner, Carlmont softball. The fourth-year
varsity starter red a two-hit shutout on opening day as the
Scots trounced Notre Dame-Belmont, 13-0. Faulkner the 2013
Peninsula Athletic League Player of the Year struck out ve
against no walks.
Daniel Madigan, Skyline College baseball. The south-
paw earned a complete-game win Feb. 27 in Skylines 5-1 win
over Hartnell. It was the rst complete game by a Trojanspitch-
er in nearly a year and their rst win in a conference opener since
2008.
Skyler Fuss, College of San Mateo baseball. The soph-
omore reliever earned his fourth win of the year with 4 2/3
shutout innings in a 4-3 win comeback win over West Valley in
the Bulldogs Coast Conference Golden Gate Division opener.
Fuss currently ranks third in the state in wins, and his 4-0 record
is tops among all California Community College relievers.
Talisa Fiame, CSM softball. The sophomore out of Terra
Nova clubbed a pair of home runs and drove in seven runs in the
Bulldogs 19-0 win over Mission College a week ago.
Honor roll
is in high school, they all have a chance to play.
The decision to stand by her Force teammates many of
whom have played together since they were 9 ended up
being a rewarding one, as the team went on something of an
international sweep. After winning the Elite Clubs National
League 16-year-old championship in Virginia, the team trav-
eled to San Sebastian, Spain to claim the title in the Youth
16-Division championship in tournament play. More casual
Force road trips consist of numerous visits to Washington
state and San Diego.
And the Force is ready to roll again this summer, just as
soon as all the team members high school seasons are com-
pleted.
As soon as this team ends, I have to go straight back to
practice, Davidson said. Our club practice actually [started
yesterday]. But because our team is still going on, Im going
to stick with this until the end.
Needless to say, Davidson is a year-round soccer player.
But that wasnt always the case. Ahyper-athletic kid, she was
involved in everything from basketball, to swimming, to
baseball and even dance. Since her middle-school com-
mencement from Hillview Middle School though, she has
narrowed it down to a strict soccer regiment.
As for her name, there is one other person that she knows
of who shares it. Davidsons mother, a native of Ireland,
named Tierna after her lifelong best friend. Otherwise, it is a
name that is entirely unique to Davidson.
I have not met anybody with my name, which is enjoy-
able, Davidson said. Except when people try to pronounce
my name and they kind of get thrown off. I mean, my (mid-
dle school) graduation, when they were calling peoples
names, they called our names for different awards and to
get my diploma. And four different versions of my name were
called.
But there is no confusion once Davidsons left foot whips
into action on the soccer pitch. And as far as her second-year
head coach is concerned, she is a welcome addition.
I think it took the coaching staff about 30 minutes to
realize what kind of player we had, Arredondo said. Her
maturity level is unique. Discipline, work rate, speed, her
size for a player of her size to have such composure, its
phenomenal.
And the kid has still got room to grow.

STANFORD Stanford junior
Patrick Rodgers, the No. 1 ranked
amateur in the world, said Monday
that he will forgo his nal year of
eligibility to pursue a professional
career after this season.
The two-time All-American said
he decided to make the announce-
ment now because he didnt want
the growing speculation about his
future to become a distraction for
the team. The eighth-ranked
Cardinal are hoping to make a deep
run at the NCAAchampionships in
May before Rodgers leaves.
I think we have an amazing
team the best that weve had in
my three years here and we have
an opportunity to do something
special, Rodgers said in a state-
ment issued through the universi-
t y. I want to put all of the focus on
trying to win a national champi-
onship for the team.
Rodgers arrived at Stanford in
2011 as one of the nations top
recruits from Avon, Ind., where he
won two state championships. He
has won seven tournaments in less
than three full seasons at Stanford
and also helped the U.S. team win
last years Walker Cup, the amateur
version of the Ryder Cup.
Rodgers 70.55 average strokes
per round are the best in Stanford
history, bettering Tiger Woods
70.96. His seven career wins are
tied with Joel Kribel for the second
most in school history. Only
Woods, with 11, has more.

sidelined Michael Crabtree for the rst 11
games. Boldins performances earned him
the Bill Walsh Award, given to the team
MVP.
Boldins return is not all that surprising.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said at last weeks NFL
Scouting Combine that the franchise was
determined to re-sign the wide receiver, and
Boldin has repeatedly said he wanted to come
back to the 49ers.
The move locks up one of San Franciscos
top offseason priorities. Safety Donte
Whitner and kicker Phil Dawson, who are
scheduled to become free agents next week,
are among the others.
Boldins transition from John Harbaughs
Ravens to Jim Harbaughs 49ers seemed
seamless.
Boldin, now 33 years old, was at his best in
his debut for San Francisco when he caught 13
passes for 208 yards and a touchdown in a 34-
28 win over Green Bay. He then capped his
season with his second-best game with nine
catches for 149 yards and a score in a Week 17
win over Arizona that clinched the fth seed
for San Francisco.
In three playoff games, Boldin had 16
catches for 227 yards and a touchdown. The
49ers lost in the NFC title game to the even-
tual Super Bowl-champion Seattle Seahawks.
Arizona drafted Boldin in the second round
out of Florida State in 2003. He played seven
seasons for the Cardinals and three for the
Ravens.
The three-time Pro Bowler has 857 recep-
tions for 11,344 yards and 65 touchdowns in
his career. His receptions rank 20th in NFL
history, while his yards receiving are 29th.

The NFL is about to open a big can of
worms with the proposed rule of penalizing
teams whose players use the n-word during
the course of a game.
Good luck with that.
The n-word is so ubiquitous and part of
the sports lexicon it will be nearly impos-
sible to police it out of the game.
I hear the use of that word used on the
sideline of nearly every high school game
Ive been to over nearly 20 years of cover-
ing prep football. Heck, even kids in the
stands throw that word around without a
second thought.
Its part of the vernacular on junior col-
lege sidelines as well. Having covered both
College of San Mateo and Chabot College
of Hayward during my time in the East Bay,
the word is also used liberally. For the NFL
to think it will get rid of the word in its
game is either the highest form of hubris
or naivete.
As much as people get up in arms over it,
I dont see the n-word leaving our lexicon
at any time in the near future. Much like
concussion education and avoidance, try-
ing to legislate it out of the game will not
happen at the highest level. Education and
awareness needs to start at the youth level,
and in the case of the n-word, education
needs to starts at home.
I believe it is incumbent on coaches at
the high school and college levels to insti-
tute a zero-tolerance policy, reprimanding
and punishing players who use that word in
practices or on the sidelines.
I wouldnt blame coaches for not doing
it, however. They already have enough on
their plate without having to try to police
kids language as well. But if we are to get
rid of this particular slur, everyone needs to
do their part.
LOUNGE
Closing out a 6-2 win over the Dons in the
rst game of a Sunday doubleheader, Palsha
actually worked a season-high three innings.
The big junior delivered, allowing just one hit
en route to his rst collegiate save. Palsha is
currently 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA, striking out 11
against three walks over 12 innings of work.
His career path is certainly on the mound,
CSM manager Doug Williams said. Hes got a
great arm. Hes got a good curveball with really
good downward movement, and has a really
good disposition on the mound.
At the start of his senior season, however,
Palsha endured the elbow injury that would
result in his undergoing Tommy John surgery.
He soldiered through the year as San Ramon
Valley High Schools designated hitter, before
having the surgery immediately following the
season.
According to Palsha, he was originally slated
to go to Cal State Fullerton out of high school.
Instead he opted to attend Diablo Valley
College, where his brother Ryan played and was
drafted out of the previous year by the Orioles.
After taking a redshirt in his rst JUCO sea-
son at Diablo Valley College in 2011, Palsha
bounced back for a solid 2012 campaign for the
Vikings in which he went 5-5 with a 3.15 ERA
in 12 starts, but tallied just 57 strikeouts in 71
1/3 innings. After transferring to CSM in 2013,
his strikeout rate was even less, notching 46
punch outs in 77 1/3 innings.
But his three-pitch repertoire seems pol-
ished. Sunday, he cruised around 91 mph with
the heater, while reaching back for 93 mph.
Even with that, he was successful in pitching
to contact.
Coming out of the pen, Im just trying to
pound the zone as much as possible, Palsha
said. I just want to get quick outs and get us
back in the dugout as quick as possible. Im not
necessarily worried about strikeouts.
Palsha isnt the only one learning a new role
this season. After Holms success in his rst
year at Sac State, he was promoted to associate
head coach prior to the 2014 campaign, essen-
tially serving as right-hand man to Hornets
head coach and Menlo College grad Reggie
Christiansen. Yet Holm refuses to take much if
any credit for the dramatic turnaround of Sac
States pitching during his relatively brief
tenure.
Its our guys theyve made a lot of adjust-
ments, their mindsets changed, and they decided
theyre going to be good, Holm said. I mean,
Ive helped some guys, but they are the ones
who went out and did it.
Holms resume speaks for itself though.
Having played at every level over his decade in
the Giants system, he caught seven future All-
Stars, including a pair of closers in Brian
Wilson and Sergio Romo. And while Holm was-
nt awarded a World Series ring in 2010, he was
an integral part of the Triple-AFresno team that
promoted pitcher Madsion Bumgarner and
catcher Buster Posey midseason.
Its a player [who], every opportunity he
got, he took advantage of and thats a credit
to him, said Bobby Evans, Giants vice presi-
dent and assistant general manager. He works
hard and he takes the game seriously, and that
has always served him well.
And now that Holm has found a home at
Sacramento State its actually a homecoming
for the Sacramento native his hard work is
serving the collegiate ranks well with the
Hornetsrecent success of historic proportions.

CHICAGO Most people who
abuse addictive prescription
painkillers get them for free from
friends or relatives, while drug
dealers are a relatively uncom-
mon source for those at highest
risk for deadly overdoses, a gov-
ernment study found.
People who abuse the most fre-
quently often doctor-shop; more
than 1 in 4 who used these drugs
almost daily said they had been
prescribed by one or more physi-
cians. Almost as many said they
got them for free from friends or
relatives; only 15 percent of the
most frequent abusers said they
bought the drugs from dealers or
other strangers.
Those abusers are probably
using at much greater volumes
and simply asking a friend for a
pill now and then is not going to
be sufficient, said Dr. Leonard
Paulozzi, a researcher at the feder-
al Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
According to the study, two-
thirds of abusers said they used
the drugs infrequently and well
over half of these users said they
got them free from friends or rela-
tives.
Paulozzi and CDC colleagues
analyzed four years of nationwide
health surveys on nonmedical use
of pain relievers including oxy-
codone and hydrocodone. These
include the brand-name pills
OxyContin and Vicodin, in a fam-
ily of drugs called opioids
chemically similar to opium.
The study was published online
Monday in JAMA Internal
Medicine.
Paulozzi said overall preva-
lence of nonmedical use of pre-
scription opioid painkillers has
held steady in recent years, at
about 12 million, or 1 in 20 peo-
ple aged 12 and older.
But previous CDC data show
overdose deaths involving these
drugs more than tripled from
1999 to 2010, with more than
16,000 deaths that year. By con-
trast, overdose deaths that
involved heroin and cocaine
totaled less than 8,000, and
deaths that involved often-abused
prescription drugs that include
anti-anxiety medication totaled
about 6,500.
A separate study in the same
journal presents Tennessee
among states hardest hit by pre-
scription drug abuse as a snap-
shot of the problem. From 2007
through 2011, one-third of
Tennessees population filled an
opioid prescription each year, the
study found. Nearly 8 percent had
used more than four prescribers
and these abusers were more than
six times more likely to have
fatal overdoses than the least fre-
quent users.
The larger nationwide study
included data from annual govern-
ment health surveys for 2008-
2011 that included questions
about use of these powerful
painkillers.
Nonmedical use was defined as
use without a prescription or use
with a prescription for the feeling
or experience caused by the drug,
the researchers said.
Paulozzi said the data dont
indicate whether friends and rela-
tives who offered free drugs
shared their own prescriptions or
had obtained the medication in
some other way.
Public health messages have
urged patients with legitimate
prescriptions for addictive
painkillers not to share the drugs
and to turn in any leftovers to
designated drop-off sites.
The new data suggest a need to
strengthen messages to doctors to
be on the watch for signs of pre-
scription misuse, Paulozzi said.
Friends common source of abused prescription meds
According to a new study,two-thirds of prescription painkiller abusers said they used the drugs infrequently and
well over half of these users said they got them free from friends or relatives.

settling for right now, said math teacher
Debra Argenbright, co-president and lead
negotiator for the teachers Millbrae
Education Association.
Theyre still working on developing a
climate survey, she said. Theres still a lot
of issues with the parents and teachers sur-
rounding climate and Im hoping this is a
step forward.
The school board has taken steps recently
to address concerns about board relations
with teachers and the public. Through a
third-party facilitator, the board is going to
administer a districtwide climate survey for
teachers, staff and parents to give feedback
on working conditions.
The district also redesigned the board web-
site to make information more accessible,
board President Denis Fama said in a state-
ment. The board is considering having each
trustee adopt a school, assigning one
trustee to each campus for more direct com-
munication and support. It is also looking
at parent-suggested committee structures to
address specic issues on a problem-solv-
ing, ad-hoc basis and it is scheduling a
board training session with California
School Board Association in March that
addresses board responsibilities and proto-
col. Fama plans on providing a board state-
ment on the district website twice a month
to give updates on progress and discuss new
initiatives.
I am grateful to be part of our Board of
Trustees, even during these difcult times,
Fama wrote. I am proud to be the president
this year and our trustees look forward to
working collaboratively towards satisfacto-
ry and permanent solutions.
Fama did note that board meetings had
become increasingly agitated and a con-
frontational environment has developed.
Fama wrote that, as board president, he
asked the trustees to always maintain a pro-
fessional demeanor and he asks the same of
meeting attendees.
We must re-establish trust in our rela-
tionships, and accept that we are all acting
in good faith, even when we disagree, he
wrote.
As for the labor negotiations, Fama was
pleased with the settlement.
I am extremely gratied that our district
has reached a tentative agreement with
MEA, he wrote in an email. I look forward
to ratication, and to working together with
our teachers in a positive environment.
The next board meeting is Monday, March
10.
DNA blood tests show
prenatal screening promise
ADNAtest of a pregnant womans blood is
more accurate than current methods of screen-
ing for Down syndrome and other common
disorders, new research nds. If other studies
bear this out, it could transform prenatal care
by giving a more reliable, non-invasive way
to detect these problems very early in preg-
nancy.
That would let couples decide sooner
whether to have an abortion or to prepare for
a major medical problem. It also might cut
down on the 200,000 more invasive tests like
amniocentesis done each year in the United
States to diagnose or rule out problems with a
fetus.
It offers women a safe and accurate alterna-
tive for screening, said the study leader, Dr.
Diana Bianchi, of Tufts Medical Center in
Boston.
Several companies already sell these DNA
blood tests, which can be done when the fetus
is only 9 to 10 weeks old, a couple weeks
sooner than current methods. They screen for
disorders caused by extra or missing chromo-
somes, such as Down syndrome, which occurs
in about one of every 700 pregnancies.
Current screening methods are imprecise.
Ultrasounds and various blood tests can hint
at a problem but dont directly test for one.
The next step is diagnostic testing amnio-
centesis, like a needle biopsy to collect fetal
cells, or chorionic villus sampling, which
takes a snip of the placenta. Both bring a
small risk of miscarriage.
The DNA tests aim to improve screening
and lower the number of women referred for
these more invasive tests. Using a sample of
the moms blood, they sequence the alphabet
of bits of DNAshed from the placenta and map
them to various chromosomes.
RAISES
room on a Daly City campus. Bradley James
Mrozek, of San Francisco, is expected to
receive 27 years and four months in prison
under the terms of a negotiated settlement
reached in November but the 26-year-old man
now wants to withdraw his plea to one count
of kidnapping, two counts of forcibly com-
mitting a lewd act on a child under 14 and one
count of attempted child pornography pos-
session. Mrozek will also register as a sex
offender for life after sentencing.
On Monday, Judge Craig Parsons said he
had not yet read the presentencing report and
postponed the hearing until March 10.
Prosecutors had asked that the matter only be
delayed until the afternoon because the vic-
tim, her family and therapist were all present
but was denied, according to District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
The withdrawal hearing and possible sen-
tencing was previously delayed in February
due to the report not having been read.
Prosecutors say mid-day Sept. 21,2012,
Mrozek trespassed onto the grounds of
Parkside Elementary School in San Mateo
and grabbed the girl on her way to the rest-
room. He groped the girl and covered her
mouth with his hand before carting her off
campus. A short distance away, the girl
escaped by kicking her attacker and throwing
a rock at him before running back to the
school where she reported the incident,
according to San Mateo police. Mrozek is
also accused of offering vodka to two 12-
year-old boys; verbally harassing two girls
at Bayside STEM Academy; and was escorted
off the Horrall Elementary School campus by
a suspicious administrator. Both schools are
in San Mateo. After reading of Mrozeks
arrest, an official at George Washington
Elementary School in Daly City contacted
authorities about a March 2012 incident in
which four 9-year-old girls reported seeing a
ash from under the restroom stall as they
used the facilities. The girls fetched a teacher
who tried forcing the man from the stall. He
nally ran from the restroom and ed.
Mrozek is in custody without bail.
Meanwhile, the family of the girl is suing
Mrozek and the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District for battery, sexu-
al battery, child abuse, dangerous condition
on public property, emotional distress and
negligent supervision. Prior to the lawsuit,
the school district denied a similar claim
from the family.

LONDON A Swedish doctor
says four women who received
transplanted wombs have had
embryos transferred into them in
an attempt to get pregnant.
He would not say on Monday
whether any of the women had
succeeded. In all, nine women in
Sweden have received new
wombs since 2012, but two had
to have them removed because of
complications.
The women received wombs
donated by their mothers or other
close relatives in an experimen-
tal procedure designed to test
whether its possible to transfer a
uterus so a woman can give birth
to her own biological child. The
women had in vitro fertilization
before the transplants, using
their own eggs to make embryos.
We have already begun trans-
ferring embryos into four of the
women and plan to make
attempts with the others when
they are ready, said Dr. Mats
Brannstrom, a professor of
obstetrics and gynecology at the
University of Goteburg, who is
leading the research.
Brannstrom predicted that
three or four of the seven women
might successfully give birth.
One or two more will perhaps
get pregnant and miscarry, and
one or two wont be able to get
pregnant, he said.
There have been two previous
attempts to transplant a womb
in Turkey and Saudi Arabia but
both failed to produce babies.
Doctors in Britain and Hungary
also are planning similar opera-
tions, but using wombs from
women who had just died.
Brannstrom said any woman in
the study who does get pregnant
will be on a low dose of drugs to
keep from rejecting the trans-
planted womb and will be moni-
tored as a high-risk pregnancy.
The transplants are intended to
benefit women unable to have
children because they lost a
uterus to cancer or were born
without one.
Some doctors said women who
got pregnant with a new uterus
would have to be watched careful-
ly for how the womb progresses
throughout pregnancy.
There are questions about how
the physiological changes in the
uterus will affect the mother and
whether the transplanted uterus
will be conducive to a growing
baby, said Dr. Charles
Kingsland, a spokesman for
Britains Royal College of
Obstetricians and
Gynaecologists and a gynecolo-
gist at Liverpool Womens
Hospital.
In a study published last week,
Brannstrom and colleagues
described the procedures used to
transplant the nine wombs and
said there were mild rejection
episodes in four patients.
He said the transplanted wombs
would be removed after a maxi-
mum of two pregnancies.
Other experts called it a prom-
ising step but said it would be
crucial that babies get enough
nutrients from the mothers
blood supply.
We really dont know if the
blood flow to the uterus will
increase and adapt in the same
way, as in a regular pregnancy,
said Dr. Yacoub Khalaf, director
of the Assisted Conception unit
at Guys and St. Thomas hospital
in London.
It is a good sign they have
done the (embryo) transfers,
Khalaf said. But a live birth will
be the best validation that this
works.
Women with new wombs trying to get pregnant
Some doctors said women who got pregnant with a new uterus would have to be watched carefully for how
the womb progresses throughout pregnancy.

Berkeley and the family has gone on to
launch shops in Palo Alto, Davis,
Walnut Creek, San Jose and now at 134
S. B St. in San Mateo.
Everybody likes cookies, every-
body likes ice cream, so lets put the
two together and make a perfect mar-
riage, Shamieh said. People love it.
They love the product, they love the
concept they love the fact that they
can mix and match their cookies.
Theres over 1,000 different combina-
tions you can get.
Visitors can devour original propri-
etary blends like cinnamon chill, cup
of joe, royal caramel swirl, strawberry
cheesecake and salted caramel ice cream
sandwiched between freshly baked
warm oatmeal raisin, peanut butter,
snickerdoodle, cappuccino, macadamia
nut or butter sugar cookies.
CREAM also offers soy ice cream,
vegan and gluten-free cookies, milk-
shakes, oats, malts, brownies and
even ice cream tacos on Tuesdays.
CREAM has amassed a huge follow-
ing in just the few short years since its
inception and last weekends opening
was attended by thousands, Shamieh
said.
Customers Savannah Young and
Caitlyn Balich used to have to travel to
Palo Alto to indulge in CREAM but
now they dont have to leave their San
Mateo hometown to smell freshly-
baked cookies. Young says she loves
how many options CREAM has to offer
and its unlike any other ice cream
shop.
They have vegan and gluten [free]
options for people which is kind of
cool, Young said. The cookies are
actually made [here] and they have lots
of different options.
CREAM is known for producing long
lines and it can be a deterrent, but most
of the time Young and Balich think its
worth the wait.
Its so good. I mean I made the effort
to go there, so I might was well wait in
line, Balich said. Its pretty reason-
ably priced too.
Sandwiches start at $2.99, Shamieh
said. Patrons who crave their dessert
delicacies produce lines that can extend
down the block, but CREAM keeps cus-
tomers entertained while they wait,
Shamieh said.
We provide a great atmosphere.
When youre in the store the employ-
ees are playing music and singing
along, making it worth it to wait in
those lines, Shamieh said.
The Shamieh familys nostalgic love
of ice cream sandwiches and CREAM
brings a new twist to ice cream parlors.
Although many of its consumers are
kids, CREAM also attracts an older
crowd.
Ice cream and cookies are nostalgic
for his family and were a centerpiece of
any festivity.
Ice cream and cookies always accom-
panied family occasions and the stores
creation brings nostalgic memories,
Shamieh said. Although many of its
customers are kids and teens, CREAM
attracts an older crowd too. It puts a
spin on the traditional ice cream parlor
and encourages those with a childhood
favorite to mix it in combinations they
wouldnt have imagined, Shamieh said.
Some crowd favorite ice cream a-
vors are vanilla, chocolate and salted
caramel and a freshly baked double
chocolate chip cookie is never a bust.
But he covets his own concoction,
Shamieh said.
I mix snickerdoodle and chocolate
chip cookies and strawberry ice cream.
Its kind of a funky fusion, but thats
what does it for me, Shamieh said.
The Bay Area family also has a few
superstar inspired combinations by the
radio legend Chuy Gomez and Raiders
running back Marcel Reese, Shamieh
said.
Councilman Joe Goethals and U.S.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, also
attended the San Mateo grand opening
and March 1 was proclaimed CREAM
day, Shamieh said.
He lives in San Mateo and downtown
is the perfect location to house its new
franchise, Shamieh said.
Downtown San Mateo is up and
coming, its not what it used to be.
Downtown San Mateo is now the
restaurant hub of the Peninsula,
Shamieh said.
CREAM San Mateo is just up the
block from the theater and convenient
for an after-dinner or a movie dessert.
Its open late; from Monday through
Thursday from noon to midnight,
Friday and Saturday from noon until 1
a.m. and Sundays from noon until 11
a.m., Shamieh said.
Late because theres a couple bars
and clubs and a little bit of a night life.
We try to catch the moviegoers, the
late ones. Its not super busy that late,
but we try to accommodate who ever is
out and about. And try to stay open as
late as we can and try to serve as many
people as we can, Shamieh said. We
want to take what we love and share it
with everyone else.

CREAM
ital safety guide for teens, as he is part
of the cyberbullying leadership team.
He will also present to parents on
open communication and hopes to
open parents eyes to what kids are
doing online so parents can set down
some parameters and goals for kids.
He discusses both sexting and cyber-
bullying.
Once they publish whatever it is
they publish whether its a photo
or a statement its published and
done, he said. They need to under-
stand the consequences to them as
publishers in the digital world. Just
like they dont make right decisions
on the blacktop that changes their
world once they hit the send button.
The presentations are based on
training material put together by the
Sunnyvale Police Department and
Yahoo.
I like to hit the seventh- and
eighth-grade group, Wollman.
Theyre all online, have phones and
communicating with each other via
text. Theres so many ways theyre
talking to each other other than face
to face. Its good foundation of how to
behave as a good digital citizen. Ill
also be talking about context, when
sending a text do they really under-
stand what youre trying to say?
Meanwhile, Antonia Ehlers, com-
munications manager at Junipero
Serra High School, is also part of the
group and has three teenagers herself.
At one of her teenage daughters
schools, there was even an impostor
posing as a student and trying to
befriend girls at the school online.
They want to be friends with peo-
ple and it becomes a competition,
she said. We want to get the message
out there at an early age this can be
very dangerous. Its uncharted territo-
ry for all of us and the more we can do
to educate the public on dangers of
social media the better.
The group wants to help with a com-
mon problem parents are facing today,
she said.
As parents, its really frustrating
the amount of time theyre spending
on the cyber world, Ehlers said. Its
important to try to set limits. Its
additional time, an additional pres-
sure, an additional stress. We didnt
have this when we were growing up.
Its a lot to manage for these kids.
The group hosted its rst presenta-
tion at St. Catherine of Siena School
in Burlingame. There will be a presen-
tation on cyberbullying 7 p.m.-8
p.m. Tuesday, March 4 at the
Burlingame Librarys Lane Room, 480
Primrose Road. RSVP to Sandra at
201-0821 or
smcyberbullying@gmail.com. There
will also be a presentation at
Burlingame Intermediate School
March 28.
