In evaluating the regions transportation needs and an ever vocal

group of bicyclists seeking more
space on Caltrain, the transit
agency is moving toward setting
aside nearly half of its newly purchased rail cars for bikes.
Caltrain plans to spend $15 million on purchasing and refurbishing 16 used rail cars to account for
an expected increase in its nearly
1. 3 million monthly ridership

while moving toward a $1.7 billion system upgrade and electrification.

Bicyclists frequently report

County has two-year plan for veterans Dream Machines aims to

Assessment shows needs for 32,000 former military here bring back extreme sports
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The majority of San Mateo Countys

32,000 military veterans are doing well but
are overrepresented among the local homeless and more than half are at least 65 years
old, according to a veterans needs assessment compiled on the population.
The assessment, a project launched earlier
this year, also found that the countys veterans are currently about 6 percent of the population although estimated to drop by more
than half by 2025. Vietnam era veterans are

nearly a third of county veterans and 95 percent are male although a higher percentage
of the younger veterans are female, according to the report which offers a snapshot of
who local veterans are along with data useful
for determining what they need.
On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors will
accept the finished report and consider specific steps in the next budget cycle to
address those needs by connecting veterans
with vital services and benefits that they
might not even know exist.

Governor ups education funding

By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

More funding will likely make its way to

Californias public schools and local education leaders have mixed feelings about the
changes.
Were certainly happy the funding levels
are rising to support all schools and districts,
said Nancy Magee, administrator, board support and community relations for the San
Mateo County Office of Education. Thats
going in the right direction. Were not sure
about some of the impacts on our own programs though.
Gov. Jerry Browns proposed budget is an
increase by 5.4 percent from the current
$107.4 billion budget, and much of the
increase is earmarked for K-12 education and
community colleges. K-12 funding grows by
more than $2,600 per student in the 2015-16
period over 2011-12 levels.
The budget calls for speeding implementation of the new Local Control Funding
Formula, or LCFF, that channels additional
money to schools with high levels of lowincome and English-language learners. It
includes nearly $4 billion more for the formula than projected, allocating $50.7 billion in
the fiscal year that begins July 1. The $7.8
billion K-14 budget increase repays districts
$992 million in deferred funding and boosts
average per-pupil expenditures to a projected
$13,462 from state, federal and local funds.
Another $1.1 billion goes to implementing
the new Common Core state standards.
Basic aid districts like the Sequoia Union
High School District receive their funding
entirely through property taxes and receive no
general purpose state aid. Its officials contend
there is still not enough funding coming to
these schools.
Its clear that little by little more is being
put in, said Sequoia Trustee Alan Sarver. The
main focus is to accelerate the LCFF that has
little impact on a locally funded district like
Sequoia. Its not yet an exciting time for
plentiful funding for basic aid districts in the
county.
In the case of funding to preschoolers, the
governor could have done more, said Ted
Lempert, a San Mateo County Board of
Education trustee who runs the research, policy development and advocacy nonprofit
Children Now. Last year, the governors budget included $264 million for preschool and
day care for low-income families.
The budget proposal doesnt do enough for
Californias top priority our kids, he
wrote in an email. The failure to fund new preschool slots breaks last years commitment to
provide access to quality preschool for every
low-income 4-year-old. The proposal also
misses opportunities to fully support and
improve access to childrens health and child

welfare programs. We applaud the investments in education made possible by

Proposition 30 and the governors fiscal
stewardship, but districts need additional onetime dollars beyond those needed to pay for
state mandates to invest in Common Core
and the Next Generation Science Standards.
On the flip side, those like Assemblyman
Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, said he is
thrilled to see this budget continues the
process of reinvesting in the public education
system, which took major cuts during the
recession.
Under the new fairer funding system, this
money will be directed to Californias neediest
children, he said in a prepared statement.
While these investments are significant, I
caution that we must not stop here. Our
schools need continued long-term investments and additional funding commitments to
improve educational outcomes.
The Burlingame Elementary School District
is a revenue limit district, meaning it is funded
mostly through the state, and its officials are
pleased with the governors proposed budget.
Still, the district has yet to dig deep into the
proposal, said Gaby Hellier, assistant superintendent and chief business official.
I think its a very positive budget and it
will positively affect Burlingame, Hellier
said.
Others are still evaluating the budget as
well, including the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District.
Details of the governors budget and how it
will affect our district is being studied now,
wrote Molly Barton, assistant superintendent
of student services for the district, in an email.
However, we continue to appreciate the governors support for education.
Alisa MacAvoy, San Mateo County School
Boards Association board president and
Redwood City Elementary School District
board vice president, has mixed feelings about
the proposed budget. In general, the budget is
good news for K-12 education though, she
said.
State revenues are high enough to spend
more on education compared to last year; however, even next year, we will still be below our
2007-08 per pupil funding levels and we have
additional costs associated with rising retirement and health care costs for our employees, she wrote in an email. We need to continue to work toward higher per-pupil funding
levels given that California still spends well
below the national average in per-pupil funding. And, in high cost areas like San Mateo
County, we need more money than the national average in order to fund important educational programs, support financially struggling students and pay our teachers and
employees a salary that allows them to live
locally so they can educate our students. We
also need to continue to put more money into
early childhood (0-5 years) education, facility

upgrades, technology and professional development for our employees as we move to the
new state standards.
Teachers are just getting their hands on the
proposal as well, including Dan Deasy, president of the San Mateo County Educators
Association.
Im looking at it and Im just glad the governor is thinking about the future, he said.
Its probably doesnt quite match up with
inflation. I think hes (the governor) doing
the best he can.
While the California Teachers Association
continues to review the budget details,
President Dean E. Vogel released a statement
on the budget. He noted that the budget gives
the association hope after learning the state is
ranked 46th in the nation in per-pupil funding.
We see the governors continued commitment to a brighter future for our state by allocating funds to repay the billions of dollars
that had been cut from students, schools and
colleges, he said in a prepared statement.
Now school districts working alongside
educators, parents and communities can
continue to restore critical programs so our
students have more one-on-one attention,
inviting classrooms and a well-rounded curriculum. In the face of new academic standards,
educators continue to do good work in our
schools, and the increased funding the governor has proposed intended for the ongoing
implementation of the Common Core State
standards will help support educators with
training and up-to-date materials. Our college
students have felt the pain of increasing
tuition costs, so we commend the governor
for investing in higher education and recognizing that students cannot continue to foot
that bill.

Luis fled to a Carls Jr. in San

a bag of ammunition at the crime scene.
Luis was about to start a jury trial
Dec. 3, 2012, when that morning his
attorney raised questioned about his
competency which is the ability to aid
his own defense at trial. Once doctors
agreed in January 2013 he was competent, Luis again faced trial before
accepting the plea deal the morning
proceedings were set to begin.
Sentencing was then repeatedly
delayed while Luis tried unsuccessfully
to withdraw his plea.
He has been in custody without bail
and has credit of 1,322 days against
the prison term. He must serve 85 percent of the remainder.

Paul Ryan is out, Mitt Romney

ATLANTA The GOPs crowded 2016 presidential field
shifted sharply Monday as Paul Ryan, the partys last vice
presidential nominee, bowed out, while two-time presidential hopeful Mitt Romney marched toward his third campaign and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stepped closer to
his first.
The developments came as Republican officials from
across the nation prepare to gather in San Diego this week
to finalize an election calendar that will include the first
debates of the campaign this summer. Romney is among
four potential White House contenders expected to attend
that meeting.
Ryan, a Wisconsin congressman and close Romney ally,
thanked those who encouraged him to seek the presidency,
but said he wanted to focus all of his attention on his new
role as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Im ready to get on with my job, and Im excited about

Education secretary says

he backs annual testing
By Kimberly Hefling
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Foreshadowing
what could be a contentious battle with
Congress, Education Secretary Arne
Duncan said Monday that rolling back
federal testing requirements in math
and reading would deprive students,
parents and their schools of critical
information needed to measure educational progress.
Duncan chose the 50th anniversary
of President Lyndon Johnsons introduction of a landmark education equity
bill to make the Obama administrations case for continued testing.
Civil rights groups and state education chiefs also have voiced support
for it.
I believe parents, and teachers and
students have both the right and the
absolute need to know how much
progress all students are making each
year towards college and career readiness, Duncan said.
He said that too many 16- and 17year-olds find out too late they arent
prepared for college, and those days
must be over.
The No Child Left Behind education

George W. Bush in
2002, requires children to be tested in

education Chairman John Kline, RMinn., have said the federal government needs to get out of the business
of deciding what to do about low-performing schools, education standards
and teacher evaluations.
Alexander said in a statement that
the committee expects to send a bill to
the Senate early this year. My goal is
to keep the best portions of the original law and restore to states and communities the responsibility for deciding whether teachers and schools are
succeeding or failing, he said.

Senate advances Keystone XL

bill despite Obama veto threat
By David Espo and Dina Cappiello
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Legislation approving

construction of the Keystone XL oil
pipeline cleared an initial Senate hurdle
Monday, a victory for newly empowered
Republicans angling for a quick veto showdown with President Barack Obama.
The bipartisan 63-32 vote was three more
than the 60 required, and well above the
level the highly controversial measure ever
gained in recent years when Democrats controlled the Senate.
The measure has sparked intense debate
over the Canada-to-Texas pipelines potential impact on employment and the environment. While the project was proposed six
years ago, the White House opposes the legislation as long as the administration is
still conducting its formal review.
But with more than enough votes at their
command, Republican and Democratic supporters said they hoped the legislation
could win final approval and be sent to the
White House by the end of next week.
President Obama has every reason to
sign the jobs and infrastructure bill that we
will pass, said Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. He noted
that the Nebraska Supreme Court had recent-

ly rejected a legal challenge brought by

opponents, an obstacle the White House had
cited.
Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, made the
case for the opposition. He said that if constructed, the pipeline would carry some of
the dirtiest, most dangerous and most polluting oil in the world. He called the project anti-clear water, anti-clear air, anti-public health.
The proposed 1,179-mile pipeline would
begin in Canada, enter the United States at
Morgan, Montana, cut across South Dakota
and connect with an existing pipeline in
Steele City, Nebraska, that in turn reaches
refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast. It
would carry an estimated 800,000 barrels of
crude oil a day.
The White House has repeatedly threatened a veto. If Obama follows through, it
will become the first of what are expected to
be numerous clashes with the Republican
majorities now in control of both houses of
Congress.
Since Congress convened on Jan. 6, the
White House has issued a total of five veto
threats, including two Monday.
By bringing the legislation to a vote
swiftly after taking over the Senate majority, Republicans hope to achieve two goals
at once.

Activists hold a rally against government approval of the planned Keystone XL oil pipeline in
front of the White House.

FRESNO The U. S. Supreme Court

refused Monday to consider appeals by
Central Valley farmers and California water
districts that want to pump more water from
a delta that serves as the only home of a
tiny, threatened fish.
The decision lets stand a 2008 U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service plan to safeguard the 3inch-long Delta smelt, a species listed as
threatened in 1993 under the federal
Endangered Species Act.
The plan restricts the amount of water
that can be pumped out of the SacramentoSan Joaquin Delta and sent south to Central
Valley farmers and water districts.
The smelt only lives in the delta the
largest estuary on the West Coast that supplies much of California with drinking
water and irrigates millions of acres of farmland.
Farmers contend that under the smelt regulations, vast amounts of water from the
Sierra Nevada snow pack are sent through
the delta and into the ocean, exacerbating
hardships endured by the growers in the
three-year drought.

Farmers say their economic interests

have been ignored while officials protect
the fish. Roadside signs throughout the
Central Valley decry the lack of leadership
while warning of a second Dust Bowl.
Id like to see a little more common
sense put into it, said Jim Jasper, an
almond farmer who appealed to the high
court. Agriculture has been overlooked.
Because of the drought and restrictions to
protect smelt, Jasper said he had to cut
down one-fifth of his almond trees last
year. The 70-year-old farmer who runs
Stewart & Jasper Orchards in Newman anticipates taking out some of his citrus crops if
the drought persists.
Many farmers such as Jasper did not get
any irrigation water last year from a federal
system of canals and reservoirs, forcing
them to rely on diminishing groundwater or
rip out trees.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
San Francisco last year largely upheld the
previous Fish and Wildlife Service biological opinion that restrictions were needed on
the use of massive pumps that move water
through the states system of canals to
deliver it to farms and cities in Central and
Southern California.

Police: As many as six Paris terror suspects may be at large

By Jamey Keaten
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS As many as six members of a

terrorist cell involved in the Paris attacks
may still be at large, including a man who
was seen driving a car registered to the
widow of one of the gunmen, French
police said Monday.
The disclosure came as France deployed
10,000 troops to protect sensitive sites
including Jewish schools and neighborhoods in the wake of the attacks
that killed 17 people last week.
Brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi and
their friend, Amedy Coulibaly, were killed
Friday by police after a murderous spree at
the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and
a kosher supermarket. The three all
claimed ties to Islamic extremists in the
Middle East.
Two police officials told the Associated

Anti-Islam rally draws big

DRESDEN, Germany A weekly antiIslam rally in the eastern German city of
Dresden drew its biggest crowd yet on
Monday, after organizers declared it a tribute

Organizers said 40,000 people participated in the march, while Dresden police put
the figure at over 25,000 people still
considerably more than the 18,000 who
came last week.
The group, which calls itself Patriotic
Europeans against the Islamization of the
West, or PEGIDA, had asked supporters to
wear black ribbons as a show of respect for
the 17 people killed in the French capital
last week.
The terrible acts of Paris are further proof
that PEGIDA is needed, said Lutz
Bachmann, one of the organizers of the
Dresden rally.
PEGIDAs critics, including all of
Germanys mainstream parties, have

The prisoners had been on a list of opposition figures whose release was sought as
part of the U.S. agreement last month with
the Cuban government. They had been cited
by various human rights organizations as
being imprisoned by the Cuban government
for exercising internationally protected
freedoms or for their promotion of political

The Obama administration provided the

Dec. 16 terrorist attack in Peshawar one

violence carried out by seven Taliban militants heaped pressure on authorities to end
the stubborn insurgency that kills and

The massacre also horrified parents across

Coulibaly apparently set off a car bomb

Restoring national trust

Other voices

Aiken (South Carolina) Standard

merican involvement in Iraq

and Afghanistan has scaled
down the list. Concerns over
the economy have, as well.
For the past decade, these were the
two most signicant, long-standing
issues garnering public concern in the
United States. Theyve been replaced,
at least to some degree, by the
increasingly exasperating vacuum of
leadership that exists in Washington,
D.C.
In a Gallup poll published on Jan.
2, Americans that were surveyed listed
poor leadership in government as the
most important and troubling issue in
2014, a noticeable shift in the
answers given in the same poll over
the past 10 years.
The dissatisfaction with government isnt anything really new.
However, its intriguing to note that
as the economy shows signs of
improvement and the United States

looks to scale back operations in the

Middle East, Americans are becoming
more and more concerned about
whether Congress, the president and
even government in general can get
anything done.
The United States clearly has serious challenges ahead of it, and while
government never should be the ultimate problem solver, policy makers
do have a vital role and responsibility
in making sure the country stays on a
steady path. Years of gridlock and
inactivity in Washington, D.C., have
rightfully shaken the condence of
Americans when it comes to fullling
that duty. Both sides have been at
fault. The mishandled rollout of the
Affordable Care Act by President
Barack Obama and his administration
certainly contributed to condence
levels diminishing. The failures of
the Department of Veterans Affairs and
its inability to properly take care of

American veterans was certainly an

eye-opener. The uncovering of the
NSAs secretive and dubious surveillance of Americans had to add to that
slippage, as well.
Obviously, however, polls such as
these are just a snapshot of the
moment. The upcoming term in
Congress should offer a number of
chances to at least partially restore
some of that faith in government.
Additionally, the positive economic news of the years end with job
growth, lower gas prices and a strong
stock market thankfully show that
its not all doom and gloom ahead of
us. Moving forward, however, there
has to be some type of bipartisan
movement among federal lawmakers
for condence in government to start
to trickle upwards. Lets hope theres
a healthy appetite for consensus and
progress on the part of national leadership in the year ahead. Otherwise,
the chance at a rosier future for the
United States turns bleaker and even
more troubling.

Editor,
France can mobilize all the troops
it wants but it will never defeat
Islamic extremism without shutting
down every Islamic institution that
preaches hate. The enemy is an ideology, not a group of people. The fact
that hundreds of millions happen to
be true to that ideology is a huge
practical obstacle. But nobody can
defeat an evil ideology with guns.
The peaceful majority is irrelevant.
Most Germans may not have supported Hitler. Most Russians may not
have supported Stalin. Most Chinese
may not have supported Mao Tse
Tung. Most Cambodians may not
have supported Pol Pot. There are
many other examples. Yet untold millions died at the hands of these
tyrants who personally never red a
shot.
The peaceful Islamic majority must
actively ght the rather large minority with extreme views. This means
shouting down and hounding out all
of the religious leaders who spread a
message of hatred toward anyone so
that they are immobilized. It also
means cutting off their money supply. Without taking drastic action,
that peaceful majority is part of the
problem. Its not enough to say it
wasnt me.
Incitement to hate is wrong, and
defending against hate is right. Its
not rocket science.

SNL, The Colbert Report, Dr.
Strangelove, M*A*S*H and Network
for example. There are a good many
targets of satire that richly deserve to
be lampooned; most of our politicians, Hollywood and professional
sports.
Charlie Hebdo editor Stephane
Charbonnier pushed free speech limits until his death. But, free speech
has never been absolute. Speech that
involves incitement, false statements
of fact, obscenity, child pornography, threats and speech owned by
others are all completely exempt
from First Amendment protections in
the United States.
The recent tragic events in France
should cause those who engage in
satire to consider whether insulting
the deeply held beliefs of others is
wise or fair.
At a time when so much of the
world seems to be putting up walls,
maybe we should be building bridges.

Editor,
Gov. Jerry Browns symbolic
groundbreaking for his legacy highspeed Train to Nowhere highlights
all thats wrong with California
Democrats and their politics.
Yes, building, construction and
labor unions cheered for Brown
because theyre getting paid eons
from California taxpayers, while UC
students wonder why their tuition is
being raised 25 percent to pay for
this bankrupting train. Californias
public schools rank 48 for worst in
America and California ranks rst for
poverty but somehow theres $842
billion available for this train? Jerry
self-portrays himself as frugal, but
hes like an irresponsible father
scrimping on bread and butter for his
kids so he can buy the $2 million
dollar Bugatti Veyron hes always
wanted, using his familys life savings for a 1 percent down-payment to
secure a $2 million loan with no idea
where money for the next car payment will come from.
Browns Democrats must raise the
gas tax and start taxing all California
cars for every mile driven to fund his
high-speed rail boondoggle. Theres
no private high-speed rail investment, no federal money and no funding source except Californias taxpayers. This isnt what voters
approved.

I am that person
I

want to be the person my dog thinks I am. Thats

the warm and fuzzy thought inscribed on a plaque I
received from a friend. The sentiment obviously
is meant to motivate a person to being better, being
unconditionally loving, being a constant snuggler and
companion. My dog or dogs, as it might be in my
case think Im heaven on Earth and the keeper of all
things important like treats, the sign implies in no
uncertain terms. If my dogs think Im a saint, I might
as well strive to be one.
Maybe.
But what if the person my dogs think I am is not quite
so awesome? What if instead of looking at me with
adoringly puppy-like eyes, the little critters are actually giving me a gaze
that asks Who the
heck did I upset in a
past life to get her in
this one? Or maybe
the look is a tad more
sinister than simply
thinking they didnt
win the puppy lottery. My favorite Far
Side cartoon from
yore shows three
poodles speaking
while their owner
washes dishes in an
adjoining kitchen.
The caption: Well,
yes, that is the downside, Fluffy . . . When we kill her,
the pampering will end. Perhaps the person my dogs
think I am is target. Im in no hurry to be that person.
My dogs are no dummies which probably explains
why they are smart enough to find any loose board in
the backyard fence or any crumbs left unattended. Of
course, on the other hand, they also bark incessantly at
plastic bags, fear the vacuum and think they actually
caused the scary mailman to flee every day. Perhaps
theyre not the mental geniuses I take them for.
So, to be fair, it is near impossible to tell who they
think I really am. They certainly know that Im the
keeper of the kibble. This explains why at 5 p. m. on
the dot when Im home Riley stares at me intently until
I wander to the kitchen. I swear that dog even understands the concept of daylight savings.
They also certainly know Im the maid. How else do
all their toys magically return to the basket every day,
only to be rifled through by the tip of a slightly wet
and curious nose?
I also have the title of blanket stealer. Somehow
these little single-digit pounds of fur and floppy ears
can take up more room on a bed than this grown-sized
adult. This explains their grunting when I dare try to
arrange the blankets or lie in some position other than
curled up in the smallest ball possible to accommodate
their sleeping arrangements.
Im also occasionally the protector. Sure, they have
no problem fighting the real monsters in the world like
leaves blowing in the wind or children who dare to
laugh too loud outside but when the wood in the fireplace pops too loud or the fireworks of New Years Eve
and Fourth of July set off, I tend to make a good barrier
for them to hide behind.
Im often the bather, especially for Riley who can
find any bit of barren dirt among a lawn, which probably doesnt win me too many points in their estimation. And voice-raiser, mostly for Oliver whose latest
game is pulling the toilet paper from the roll. And the
park walker, even when the air is cold and morning too
early. The water bowl filler. The flea fighter. The one
who gets up at 3 in the morning when somebody
and Im not naming names here decides they need to
go outside. Im even, sad to admit, the occasional
dresser-upper when holiday sweaters and Halloween
costumes are called for.
If these are the things my dogs think I am, I guess
Im that person after all.

NEW YORK Falling oil prices

dragged the stock market lower on
Monday as Exxon Mobil, Chevron and
other big energy companies sank along
with crude.
The steep drop in oil prices over
recent months has investors secondguessing expectations for the quarterly
earnings season that starts this week.
Sam Stovall, the U.S. equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, said that it
seems that every day brings another
drop in Wall Streets earnings forecasts.
Whats happening is that were seeing the very low bar for fourth-quarter
earnings raising anxiety, Stovall said.
Its the continued decline in oil, but
its also that nearly half of the S&P
500s revenues come from overseas.
Japan is in recession, and Europe is teetering on the edge of it.
The Standard & Poors 500 index lost
16.55 points, or 0.8 percent, to close
at 2,028.26.
The Dow Jones industrial average slid
96.53 points, or 0.5 percent, to
17,640.84, and the Nasdaq composite
lost 39.36 points, or 0.8 percent, to
4,664.71.
In a wide-ranging note to clients,
Goldman Sachs slashed its forecast for
oil prices. It now estimates that that

crude will average $50.40 a barrel this

year, far below its previous forecast of
$83.75. It also trimmed its forecast for
Brent crude, a type used in international
markets, to $70 a barrel from $90.
Oil prices extended their slide, with
U.S. crude losing $2.29 to settle at
$46.07 a barrel. Brent lost $2.68 to
$47.43. Both trade at their lowest levels since March of 2009.
I think were going to see plenty
more volatility in the coming days as
pressure mounts on oil producers to
scale back production before prices get
dangerously low, said Craig Erlam,
market analyst at Alpari.
Monday also marked the unofficial
start to the fourth-quarter earnings season as Alcoa turned in its latest quarterly results after the closing bell. The aluminum producer reported stronger earnings and revenue than Wall Street
expected, pushing the stock up 20
cents, or 1 percent, to $16.38 in
extended trading.
Analysts expect big corporations to
turn in modest results for the fourthquarter, forecasting earnings growth of
4.6 percent, according to S&P Capital
IQ. Overall sales are expected to be
meager, rising 2.3 percent, largely the
result of sliding revenue for oil companies.
Traders are also looking ahead to
Greeces general election on Jan. 25.

Opinion polls show the Syriza party on

track to win the election. Syriza wants
to change the terms of the countrys
bailout agreement with lenders, but few
think it will be able to govern without
the support of other parties.
Diminishing fears that Greece will drop
the euro currency have helped take some
pressure off the countrys bond market.
Major markets in Europe climbed.
Germanys DAX gained 1.4 percent,
while Frances CAC-40 added 1.2 percent. Britains FTSE 100 closed flat.
Back in the U.S., Tiffany & Co. cut
its outlook for annual profits and posted weaker sales in the holiday season,
partially the result of a stronger U.S.
dollar pinching results. The jewelry
retailers stock fell $14.44, or 14 percent, to $89.01, the biggest drop in the
S&P 500.
AmerisourceBergen announced plans
to buy MWI Veterinary Supply for
roughly $2.5 billion, or $190 a share.
The deal would give the prescriptiondrug distributer a foothold in the growing business of veterinary medicine.
MWIs stock jumped $14.35, or 8 percent,
to
$190,
while
AmerisourceBergen sank $2.07, or 2
percent, to $90.93.
In the bond market, prices for
Treasurys rose, pushing the yield on the
10-year Treasury note down to 1.91 percent from 1.95 percent late Friday.

Key U.S. military commands Twitter, YouTube sites hacked

By Lolita C. Baldor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Hackers claiming to

work on behalf of Islamic State militants
seized control of the Twitter and YouTube
sites of the militarys U. S. Central
Command on Monday. The Pentagon swiftly suspended the sites and said it appears
that no classified material was breached.
The hacker group, which calls itself
CyberCaliphate, appears to be the same one
that is under FBI investigation for hijacking the websites or Twitter feeds of media
outlets in the last month, including a
Maryland television station and a New
Mexico newspaper.
Defense officials said Monday that they

have been in contact with the FBI, and that

the previous breaches by the group raises
questions about whether the hackers have
any real connection to the Islamic State
militants that are under U.S. and coalition
attack in Iraq and Syria.
FBI spokesman Joshua Campbell said the
bureau is investigating the Central
Command Twitter and YouTube breaches and
is working with the Pentagon to determine
the scope of the incident.
The Central Command Twitter site was
filled with threats that said American soldiers, we are coming, watch your back.
Other postings appeared to list names,
phone numbers and personal email addresses of military personnel as well as
PowerPoint slides and maps.
Most of the material was labeled FOUO,

which means For Official Use Only, but

none of it appeared to be classified or sensitive information, suggesting the hackers
did not breach classified material. U.S.
Central Command said that none of the
information and documents posted on the
hacked site were from the commands
Internet servers or social media sites.
The breach only affected the Twitter and
YouTube sites, which reside on commercial,
non-Defense Department Internet servers.
U.S. Central Command said its operational
and military networks were not compromised, but officials are notifying law
enforcement about the possible release of
personal information that was posted on
the Twitter site.

GMs new electric could upstage Tesla and its own Volt
By Tom Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT With the introduction of an

affordable electric car that can go 200 miles
on a single charge, General Motors sets up a
showdown with Tesla to sell an electric
vehicle to the masses. It may also upstage a
car of its own.
GM on Monday unveiled the Chevrolet
Bolt, a $30,000 concept car that will probably go on sale in about two years. The
range will make it attractive to many buyers
who would not consider a fully electric car
for fear of running out of juice. The rollout
of the orange compact hatchback eclipsed

GMs unveiling of a revamped Chevy Volt at

the Detroit auto show.
When the Volt, a plug-in gas-electric
hybrid, was introduced as a concept car in
2007, it was touted as an electric vehicle for
everyone. It could go 38 miles on battery
power, with a gas generator taking over to
end worries of being stranded. But its
$40,000 price tag hamstrung sales, even
with a $7,500 federal tax credit.
Enter the Bolt, a hatchback with a hefty
range and SUV-like cargo area and a price
thats about the same as the average selling
price of a new vehicle in America.
Technically, the Bolt is a concept car, but
GM plans to start selling a production version sometime in 2017. That offers a chal-

lenge to Silicon Valleys Tesla Motors Inc.,

which plans to deliver a mass-market, 200mile electric car for around $35,000 in the
same time frame.
Critics have raved about the handling and
acceleration of Teslas Model S all-electric
sedan. Its motor can push power to the
wheels almost immediately and its massive
battery is low to the ground, giving it a low
center of gravity for better handling.
The Bolt has the same characteristics,
said Stuart Norris, director of advanced
design for GM in Korea, where much of the
car was designed. GM used aluminum on
some of the cars parts, and the seats are
thin, all to keep weight down and boost
range and performance, Norris said.

Why U.S. inflation stays ultra-low while job growth is surging

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON This isnt explained in

Econ 101. Month after month, U.S. hiring
keeps rising, and unemployment keeps
falling. Eventually, pay and inflation are
supposed to start surging in response.
Theyre not happening.
Last month, employers added a healthy
252,000 jobs ending the best year of hiring since 1999 and the unemployment
rate sank to 5.6 percent from 5.8 percent.
Yet inflation isnt managing to reach even
the Federal Reserves 2 percent target rate.
And paychecks are barely budging. In

December, average hourly pay actually fell.

Economists are struggling to explain the
phenomenon.
I cant find a plausible empirical or theoretical explanation for why hourly wages
would drop when for nine months weve
been adding jobs at a robust pace, said
Patrick OKeefe, chief economist at consulting firm CohnReznick.
Normally, with unemployment this low,
the Fed would raise its benchmark interest
rate to prevent inflation from spiking and
the economy from overheating. Not this
time. Though the Feds record-low rates
have helped support the economy since the

2008 financial crisis, those low rates

havent met their other goal of raising
wages and inflation to normal levels.
As long as inflation stays consistently
below its target, the Fed might feel pressure
to delay a rate increase beyond midyear,
when most economists have predicted a
hike. Thanks in part to plunging oil prices,
many economists now envision even less
inflation this year than in 2014.
When the U.S. economy last enjoyed a
similar hiring binge, in 1999, average
wages climbed 3.6 percent, compared with
1.6 percent last year, according to the government.

Institute of Technologys Lincoln

Laboratory, a federally funded research and
development center focused on national
security. The slides appeared to depict what
it called scenarios for conflict with North
Korea and China. Its not clear where the
documents came from or how long ago they
might have been taken, since some of the
information was as much as a year old.
This is little more than a prank or vandalism. Its inconvenient and its an annoyance. But thats all it is, said Col. Steve
Warren, a Pentagon spokesman. It in no
way compromises our operations in any
way shape or form.
Warren said Pentagon officials are in contact with Twitter and YouTube to ensure that
military passwords and other security for
such public websites are adequate.

Business briefs
Obama to call for laws on
data hacking, student privacy
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama
wants Congress to pass legislation requiring companies to inform customers within
30 days if their data has been hacked.
Obama will also propose a bill that would
prevent companies from selling student data
to third parties.
A White House official says Obama will
unveil the proposals Monday during a
speech at the Federal Trade Commission.
The announcement is part of the White
Houses efforts to preview components of
the presidents State of the Union address in
the lead-up to the Jan. 20 speech.
The official was not authorized to be
named and insisted on anonymity to discuss
the proposed legislation ahead of Obamas
announcement.

Chip maker SanDisk cuts

revenue outlook, shares drop
NEW YORK SanDisk slashed its fourthquarter revenue outlook Monday due to weaker demand for its chips, and its shares fell
sharply in morning trading. The company
said sales of its storage products found in
stores were weak, as well as sales of its chips
used in smartphones and tablets.
The flash-memory chip maker said it now
expects revenue of about $1.73 billion for
the fourth quarter, down from its previous
forecast between $1.80 billion and $1.85
billion.

Buckeyes win 1st title of college football playoff era

By Ralph D. Russo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, Texas Ohio State can add

the newest version of the national championship trophy to a case that already has a
bunch of the old ones.
The Buckeyes third-stringer matched
Oregons Heisman winner as Cardale Jones
led Ohio State past Marcus Mariota and the
Ducks 42-20 in the first College Football
Playoff national championship game

Monday night at the $1.2

billion home of the
Dallas Cowboys.
Behind their bullish
backup quarterback and
the relentless running of
Ezekiel
Elliott,
the
Buckeyes (14-1) completed a remarkable in-season
Ezekiel Elliott turnaround with a dominating
performance
against the Ducks (13-2).

The chase is complete, Ohio State

coach Urban Meyer said. Its done. Its
over. They accepted their final mission,
their final assignment and their final directive, and they did it. That was our whole
mantra this last couple of weeks. A job well
done, and were very grateful.
Ohio State began the first major college
football playoff as the fourth and final seed,
and as a team that faced questions about
whether it belonged at all. It was a team that
never would have had a chance to win a title

under the old postseason system.

No question about it now: Ohio State is
the truest champion big-time football has
ever crowned, showered by golden confetti
as its band played Hang on Sloopy when
the clock hit 0:00.
Meyers Buckeyes overcame two injured
Heisman contenders and one awful early season loss at home to Virginia Tech to win
their first national title since 2002. Back

Mills all-around threat Changing

By Terry Bernal

Athlete of the Week

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Every word Mills head coach Rick

Hanson speaks about senior Marquis
Adkins is a rave.
When asked what games Adkins has served
as a game-changer this season, Hanson
essentially replied, what games hasnt he
been one?
I think I can do that in every game
because he makes so many things happen,
Hanson said. Hes just one of those kids
thats always around the ball.
Adkins has been the centerpiece of a talented Vikings boys basketball team that
has gotten off to a 10-4 start this season.
The 6-1 forward isnt the atypical hoops
superstar in that he isnt a scoring machine.
His season-high in scoring thus far was 17
points in a victory over Jefferson earlier
this season.
In the paint, however, Adkins has been
lethal.
With last Fridays 61-42 win over
Burlingame, Adkins showcased his versatility in the rout. In addition to doing what he
does best with 16 rebounds, he also totaled
14 points and seven assists.
Previous to that last Wednesday, Adkins
served as the games most prolific scorer
with 15 points in Mills most dramatic win
of the season in a 39-38 victory, courtesy of
a buzzer-beater 3-pointer from Brandon
Matsuno. And true to Hansons evaluation of
Adkins always being around the ball, it was
Adkins who set the screen on the scripted
play that gave Matsuno an open look on the
30-foot game-winning shot.
Because Adkins two standout performances helped the Vikings off to a 2-0 in
Peninsula Athletic League South Division
play, he has been named the San Mateo
Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
A fourth-year varsity player, Adkins has
worked hard to develop many of the facets of
his well-rounded game, especially his
shooting. He has always been a force in the
post though, an element of his game that
was essential to his getting playing time
even from an early age.

Marquis Adkins has been a scoring threat for Mills this season, but is most dangerous in the
See AOTW, Page 12 paint. In addition to 14 points last Friday against Burlingame, he had 16 rebounds.

s I watched the Menlo-Atherton

and Mills girls basketball teams
open the Peninsula Athletic
League season Wednesday evening, I came
expecting to see what I normally do when
watching Mills play a bushel of 3point attempts.
As the Bears methodically built a 10point, third-quarter lead, the usual barrage
of 3s from the Vikings were nowhere to
be found. Mills didnt knock down its rst
3-pointer until late in the third quarter and
nished the game with only three makes
on seven attempts.
Heck, Ive been at
Mills games in the
past where the
Vikings made that
many on even more
attempts in one quarter. Its clear the 3pointer is no longer
a big part of the
Vikings repertoire.
Mills coach Dave
Matsu admitted as
much.
We dont shoot 3s. We dont have any
3-point shooters, Matsu said following
his teams 46-42 loss to the Bears. We
dont even practice them in practice.
The one thing I did notice with the
Mills guards was they had a hard time nding the space necessary to get the 3 off.
M-A did a good job of closing down shots
and forcing the Vikings to put the ball on
the oor and go around defenders. As the
Vikings rallied in the fourth quarter to tie
the score at 36, they nally found some
room on the perimeter as they made 3 of 5
3-pointers in the second half two of
which came in the fourth quarter.
With guard Stephanie Mar the only senior seeing signicant action she connected on two of the three 3s the Vikings
hit it will be up the Vikings youngsters

Ronaldo wins third FIFA Player of the Year award

By Graham Dunbar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ZURICH Cristiano Ronaldo hopes his

third FIFA Player of the Year award brought
him closer to being remembered as one of
soccers all-time greats.
The Portuguese forward, who led Real
Madrid to its record 10th European title,
received 37.66 percent of votes of national
team coaches and captains and selected
media to add to the FIFA awards he won in
2008 and 2013.
I want to become one of the greatest

players of all time,

Ronaldo said through a
translator during Monday
nights
acceptance
speech. Of course, this
requires a lot of effort and
I hope to get there.
Messi, the Argentine
star
forward
on
Barcelona, was second in
Cristiano
voting with 15.76 perRonaldo
cent, just ahead of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (15.72), who helped
Germany to the World Cup title.

Ronaldo scored 61 goals last year for club

and country, and set a Champions League season record with 17. On hearing his name read
out by French great Thierry Henry, the 29year-old Ronaldo closed his eyes, dipped his
head and smiled before walking to the stage.
It has been an unforgettable year,
Ronaldo said after taking a deep breath.
Messi won the award four straight times
from 2009-12. While Messis Argentina
lost in the World Cup final, Ronaldos
Portugal was eliminated in the first round.
Ronaldos Real Madrid also won Spains
Copa del Rey.

Its a fantastic moment in my career,

Ronaldo said after the FIFA ceremony. I
want to carry on with more titles in my
career, collective and individual.
U. S. captain Clint Dempsey voted
Ronaldo first, followed by Messi and
German midfielder Thomas Mueller.
American coach Jurgen Klinsmann a former star and coach for Germany had Neuer

NFL championship game rematches

By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You again.
Not that the Patriots and Seahawks
are likely to mind seeing who has
joined them in the NFLs conference
championships. Remember, New
England routed Indianapolis 42-20 and
Seattle romped over Green Bay 36-16
to open the season.
Rematches at the final step to reaching the Super Bowl have been common
recently. In the AFC, from 2009-14,
only in 2011 was the conference championship not a repeat meeting. In the
NFC, it happened in 2010, 2011, 2013
and this season.
Twice in the NFC, intradivision
matchups meant a third game between
rivals: 2010 when Green Bay won at
Chicago, and 2013, when Seattle beat
San Francisco.
Not one of the others has involved
teams from the same division.
Excluding 2014 if you know now
who is going to win next Sunday,
please clue us in in those rematches,
the regular-season winner also won the
AFC playoff game only once:
Baltimore over New England in 2012.
In the NFC, the Giants lost to the
49ers during the regular schedule, but
beat them in overtime in the conference
title match.
Rematches are a double-edged sword.
The victor in the first meeting has the
confidence of already owning a win and
the knowledge that more than enough
worked during that regular-season game
to handle the opponent. The loser has
the revenge factor and maybe a touch

AOTW
Continued from page 11
When I was younger, thats all I did
was play inside and get rebounds,
Adkins said. Thats what kept me on
the floor.
It was sheer athleticism that got
Adkins to the varsity floor at Mills. A
three-sports athlete, he was also the
quarterback of the Vikings football
team and is a first rate triple-jumper for
the track-and-field team. So, Adkins
wasnt privy to a tryout for the varsity
basketball team as a freshman, as he
was busy finishing his first season,
then as a tight end, with the frosh-

more motivation.
Id like to
think Im a
better quarterback
and
were a better
team and more well-equipped to handle
the unknown and the unforeseen,
Colts QB Andrew Luck said.
I think weve got a bunch of good
football players, and a chance to go up
New England and play them and get
another crack at it is awesome. Well
make sure to take full advantage of it
and do what we can.
The Colts did plenty on Sunday in
dominating Denver, avenging their
opening loss of 2014. They also saw
the Patriots struggle, twice falling into
14-point holes before rallying to defeat
Baltimore on Saturday.
As Patriots coach Bill Belichick
noted, dryly of course: I dont think
thats a formula to win a lot of playoff
games. Theyre a tough group and they
never give up, no matter what the situation is.
The upcoming situation is simply
this: Luck and the Colts have the look
of a rising power after two highly
impressive postseason performances.
New England showed some vulnerability that Luck, who led the NFL with 40
TD passes, and a rapidly improving
defense just might be able to take
advantage of.
Of course, after vanquishing Peyton
Manning and the Broncos, Indy gets
Tom Brady, the most accomplished
postseason quarterback of his era.
Thats how it works in the play-

offs, safety Mike Adams says.

Everybody we play is top-tier.
Everybody we play is big time. We got
to step our game up and be ready.
Even more intriguing might be the
NFC matchup.
Seattle was on a, well, Super high for
the seasons traditional kickoff game,
and the defending NFL champs dismantled Green Bay. Then the Seahawks
went into a funk and, at one point were
3-3.
They are now 13-4 and have that
mean, hungry, determined, versatile
and, yes, invincible air about them.
Guys are playing selfless. There
arent any egos, there arent any agendas, and guys just want to do whatever it
takes to win, All-Pro cornerback
Richard Sherman said.
If that means making a tackle, then
make the tackle; if that means catching
the football, were going to catch the
football. Guys are playing for one
another, they dont care about stats, nor
do they care about anything else.
Sounds a lot like Green Bay, which
displayed the resilience of a championship contender in its scintillating
comeback victory against Dallas at
Lambeau Field. An ailing All-Pro QB
Aaron Rodgers, still battling an aching
calf, got everyone involved, including
two rookie targets who scored touchdowns in the second half.
Just like the Seahawks, the Packers
are vastly improved from midseason.
And equally as hungry.
Looking forward to going back up
to Seattle, coach Mike McCarthy
says, and looking forward to winning
the NFC championship.

soph football team.

But after beginning the 2011-12 season with the frosh-soph basketball
team, it didnt take Adkins long to earn
a call-up. When Hanson saw him play
at the teams opening tournament at
Marin Catholic High School, he
immediately promoted the intriguing
freshman.
He played three games on the froshsoph team and I watched one of them
and I said, I think this guy needs to be
on varsity, Hanson said.
While he served as a bench player as
a freshman, Adkins quickly established a starting role as a sophomore.
And he has since also established himself as one of Hansons favorites
throughout the 12th year head coachs
career.
Marquis is very high on my list if I

was to make an all-time list of kids

Ive coached, Hanson said.
Hanson raves about Adkins skills as
well as his intangibles. His ball-handling has become a factor on the fast
break. His court awareness has become
a devastator in knowing when and how
to get to the hoop.
Above all though, Hanson said
Adkins leadership qualities distinguish him as one of the most unique
athletes hes ever coached. Case in
point, when Adkins joined the basketball team two weeks late into its preseason practice schedule due to the
overlap from football season.
Not a problem, according to
Hanson.
He was ready to play a game the
first day, Hanson said. Theres no
lull in him.

Raiders callback
for coach Del Rio
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Denver
defensive coordinator Jack
Del Rio will be the first candidate to have a second interview with the Oakland
Raiders for their head coaching job as the two-week
search could be nearing a
conclusion.
A person with knowledge
of the plans said Monday
that Del Rio will interview
with Oakland on Tuesday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because
the team is not releasing
details on interviews.
Del Rio met with Raiders
owner Mark Davis during the
Broncos bye week. With
Denver being eliminated
from the playoffs on Sunday,
Del Rio is available for a second interview and will be
able to sit down with general
manager Reggie McKenzie
as well.
Del Rio grew up in the Bay
Area and his parents are season-ticket holders. He has
been defensive coordinator
in Denver for the past three
seasons,
helping
the
Broncos win three straight
AFC West titles.
Before that, he was head
coach in Jacksonville for
nine seasons. Del Rio had a
68-71 regular-season record
with the Jaguars and made the
playoffs in 2005 and 2007,

winning one playoff game in

his second postseason trip.
He was fired with five games
remaining in the 2011 season.
He has extensive NFL experience, having played 12 seasons as a linebacker and
coaching with New Orleans,
Baltimore and Carolina before
getting the head coaching job
with the Jaguars.
The Raiders are seeking a
full-time coach after firing
Dennis Allen four games
into last season. Like Del
Rio, Allen was hired in
Oakland in 2012 after a stint
as defensive coordinator in
Denver. But unlike Allen,
Del Rio has experience as an
NFL head coach, which
could appeal to Davis.
Del Rio is one of several
candidates this year with
head coaching experience.
Former New York Jets and
Cleveland coach
Eric
Mangini, another former
Browns
coach,
Pat
Shurmur,
and
former
Raiders,
Denver
and
Washington coach Mike
Shanahan also interviewed.
Sparano, who is a candidate after going 3-9 in place
of Allen, was formerly the
head coach in Miami.
The two other known candidates are offensive coordinators on teams still in the
playoffs: Seattles Darrell
Bevell and Indianapolis
Pep Hamilton.

Day after elimination, John Fox out as head coach of Broncos

By Arnie Stapleton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. John Elway is

looking for a new coach after agreeing to
part ways with John Fox following Denvers
latest playoff meltdown.
Fox won the AFC West all four of his years
in Denver, but each of those seasons ended in
ugly fashion in the playoffs, culminating
with Sundays 24-13 upset by Indianapolis.
Fox might already have something in the
works with another franchise he didnt
shoot down a pregame report Sunday night
that he could be available if the Broncos lost.
Neither Fox nor Elway would say what was
discussed Monday when they met other than
it was time to split up.
It became clear that it was best for both
the Denver Broncos and Coach Fox to
move on and make this change, Elway
said in a statement.
So, Fox is out after going 49-22 in Denver,
including the playoffs, following a 78-74

then the Bowl Championship Series decided
No. 1 at the end of the season usually.
Before that, it was up to The Associated
Press and coaches polls to sort out which
team was best, with little help from the
bowls. The Buckeyes have three of those
championships, too.
And Meyer now has three, adding this one
for his home state team to the two he won
for Florida. Its taken just three seasons in
Columbus for Meyer to put the Buckeyes
and the Big Ten back on top, with a team
that looks built to last.

record in nine years with

the Carolina Panthers,
counting the postseason.
Fox gathered his players at noon Monday but
didnt talk about his own
future. Chris Harris Jr.
said Foxs message was
just that he appreciated
everybodys efforts. He
John Fox
loved us and everybody
just be smart in the offseason and make sure
you take care of your body to be ready to
come back ready to roll when OTAs start.
Two hours later, Elway met with Fox and
told the assistant coaches they remain
under contract but were free to pursue jobs
with other teams.
The Broncos went 8-8 in Foxs first year,
when Tebowmania was in full pitch. The
stakes were raised when Denver won the
Peyton Manning sweepstakes and replaced
Tim Tebow in 2012.
Manning was murky about his future Sunday

night, saying he had to process this latest loss

before deciding whether to play an 18th NFL
season. He wasnt in the locker room Monday.
Elway thanked Fox for helping establish
a positive, winning culture for this team and
said he deserves a lot of credit for the
Broncos turnaround, but added there is
still work to be done to win a Super Bowl.
Fox characterized his meeting with
Elway as productive and honest and the two
mutually agreed that the timing was right
for this decision.
Although we came up short of our ultimate
goal, I am proud of our teams many accomplishments during these last four years, Fox
said in a statement. It was an honor to coach
the Denver Broncos, a first-class franchise
with great fans and a winning tradition.
I am eager to continue my coaching career
and look forward to the opportunities that lie
ahead, Fox added.
Fox became the only coach in NFL history
to win a dozen consecutive divisional road
games on his way to an unprecedented four

straight AFC West titles in Denver. But the

goal when Manning came on board was
Super Bowl trophies. Instead, Manning is 23 in the playoffs with the Broncos.
Elway brought Fox to Denver in the aftermath of the Josh McDaniels era, saying he
was looking for someone who could breathe
some positive vibes into a locker room that
had been beaten down as McDaniels 6-0
start in 2009 turned sour and resulted in his
firing midway through 2010.
Foxs first task was figuring out what to do
with Tebow, and the coachs flexibility
showed, when he completely remade his
offense for Tebow after sticking him in the
starting lineup in Game 6 of the 2011 season. Denver won seven of the next 11 games
and finished 8-8, which was good enough to
win the middling AFC West.
Tebow threw the winning touchdown pass
to Demaryius Thomas in overtime in the wild
card game against Pittsburgh, which set up
an ugly but understandable 45-10 loss
to New England in the divisional round.

Elliott, a sophomore, ran for 246 yards

and four touchdowns on 36 carries. In the
last three games against Wisconsin,
Alabama and Oregon, Elliott had 696 yards
rushing.
Jones, who took over three games ago for
the injured J.T. Barrett (who had taken over
at the start of the season for the injured
Braxton Miller), passed for 242 yards and a
touchdown and ran for score. The 250-pound
third-year sophomore proved he could keep
up with Mariota at least on this night.
Mariota passed for 333 yards and two
touchdowns, but the Ducks warp-speed
spread offense missed too many red-zone
opportunities and couldnt unleash its running game against linebacker Darron Lee
and an Ohio State front seven stacked with
future NFL draft picks.

L.A. stadium developers As Zobrist knows quirks

expect big-time paybacks of new home ballpark
By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The developers behind a sprawling sports and

housing complex in the Los
Angeles suburbs whose centerpiece stadium could become home
for an NFL team expect to
recoup up to $100 million in local
tax dollars in the first five years of
operation, an Associated Press
review has found.
When the proposal was
unveiled last week, Christopher
Meany, a senior executive with
the joint venture designing and
financing the project, emphasized that there will be no public
dollars, no taxpayer dollars, used
for this project.
While the plan does not include
any upfront tax money to build the
298-acre community of homes,
offices and entertainment venues,
a 187-page outline released by
developers includes provisions for

mul t i mi l l i o n dollar public

paybacks
to
them over time
from tax dollars
generated by
the
project,
which
would
cover
costs
ranging
from
Chris Meany
installing
street lights and fire hydrants to
running shuttle buses and providing police security on game days.
The documents submitted to officials in Inglewood, where the stadium would be built, say that if
annual tax revenue to the city from
the completed project exceeds $25
million as expected, the developers, including a company controlled by the owner of the St.
Louis Rams, would be entitled to
reimbursements for funds they
invested in streets, sewers, parks
and other projects deemed dedicated to the public.

Chicago-based sports finance

consultant Marc Ganis said claiming no tax money would be used
in the project is hyper-spin and
could damage the projects credibility.
Its not an outright lie ... but
there will be people who think it
is, Ganis said. They might be
prospective tax dollars, and it
might make sense for Inglewood
to contribute them to the project,
but they are tax dollars.
Inglewood officials are reviewing
the proposal, but Mayor James
Butts said the deal appears favorable
because the city isnt required to
invest hundreds of millions of dollars into the development. The city
about 10 miles from downtown Los
Angeles could end up with a steady
source of tax income and a vibrant
entertainment mecca, he said.
We get revenue that we didnt
have to make a financial investment
for. That is unheard of in a project of
this magnitude, Butts said.

Catch rule not only one rued in NFL

By Dave Campbell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hours after Dallas was defeated

in Green Bay, the player at the
center of that games most memorable sequence spoke for millions
of other football followers than
just the Cowboys and their frustrated fans.
We lost and I accept it, wide
receiver Dez Bryant tweeted, but
please change that rule.
His leaping 31-yard reception on
fourth down landed at the 1 in the
waning minutes, but the call was
overturned by a Packers challenge
and Green Bay took a 26-21 victory to the NFC championship game.
Dallas had many other opportunities to win and the rule was widely deemed to be interpreted correctly, so the latest NFL controversy wasnt about a team getting
a raw deal from the refs.
Rather, this was the conundrum:
a spectacular catch that passed the
eye test for most people watching,
but failed to satisfy the leagues

complex rule
book.
The biggest
beef raised by
Bryant and the
Cowboys was
that the ball
only
came
loose when it
hit the ground
Dez Brown
near the pylon.
He had full possession as he took
his stumbling steps toward the
goal line, but because by definition he was considered to still be
falling then that didnt count
toward completion of the catch.
Since this happened at such a
pivotal point of such an important
game, strict parameters will likely
stay in first place on the publics
list of gripes for a while. There are
worthy competitors for the most
rued rule, though:
Excessive celebration.
New Orleans Saints tight end
Jimmy Grahams signature crossbar slam dunk in the back of the
end zone was the most recent cre-

ative act to land on the no-no list.

Entertainment is what pulls so
many millions of people into
these games each Sunday during
the season, and the NFLs various
attempts to limit on-field flamboyance following touchdowns or
even sacks have triggered many a
complaint. The derisive No Fun
League nickname rose out of this
eye-rolling exasperation decades
ago.
Defensive pass interference.
The NCAAs punishment is 15
yards, but the NFL puts the ball at
the spot of the foul, even if that
happens to be inches from the end
zone after a 40 or 50-yard penalty.
Without replay reviews allowed in
these cases and much contention
about whats allowable for downfield contact and whats not, the
pass interference flag is perhaps
the most debated in the sport. So
theres no worse feeling for the
offending team, or its fans, to see
the opponent get first and goal
with disagreement with the call in
the first place.

OAKLAND Ben Zobrist needs

few reminders of the quirks that
come with playing in the Oakland
Coliseum, his new home.
In the 10th inning of a loss last
August playing for the Rays, a
small opossum scurried alongside
the Tampa Bay left fielder and he
caught glimpse of the critter out of
the corner of his eye.
Apparently that was a good
omen for the As, and not so much
for us, he said with a chuckle
Monday.
Zobrist might be in for far more
sightings of his new furry friend
after the As acquired the two-time
All-Star infielder along with
shortstop Yunel Escobar on
Saturday to fill out the middle of
their infield. The As sent catcher
John Jaso and two minor leaguers
to the Rays in the trade.
Zobrist combines with Fernando
Abad to complete general manager
Billy Beanes A-to-Z makeover of
the As spanning the past 14
months.
The 33-year-old Zobrist helped
the Rays make the playoffs four of
the past seven seasons, including
an improbable run to the World
Series in 2008. He hit .272 with
10 home runs and 52 RBIs last season, and made starts at second
base, shortstop, all three outfield
spots and designated hitter.
He will never forget the shock of
those opossum eyes staring right
at him last summer.
Zobrist noticed the creature on a
foul ball by Alberto Callaspo earlier in the 10th inning of the 3-2
defeat on Aug. 4.
That was a strange moment,
Zobrist said Monday. I was playing a little bit in the gap so I wasnt paying a lot of attention to the
corner over there. I ran a long way
for a foul ball and I was over near
the bullpen and I saw the ball go
into the stands and just kind of out
of the corner in my eye there was

something in the corner of my
eye. Im like, What in the world?
I thought it was maybe a piece of
paper. I looked over and there it
was, a baby possum just staring
right up at me. I stood there just
frozen for a second, looking at
this thing like, Where did you
come from?
Zobrist, ready to step in at second base, looks forward to maintaining his double-play rhythm
with Escobar at shortstop and said
that could make for a more seamless transition to his new team.
Every year theres a little bit
of a culture change in every clubhouse. There is a new dynamic
and a new culture and chemistry
that has to be cultivated from the
start of the season every year,
Zobrist said. Its interesting, it
definitely was a little bittersweet. You think a lot about the
time weve spent in Tampa Bay.
Its been eight years. Its hard to
leave behind a lot of friends and
relationships there, but at the
same time were thinking ahead
and were looking forward to the
new baseball chapter and the new
challenge ahead.

That would then make things a bit
easier on post Julia Gibbs and
guard/wing Aubrie Businger, who
shoulder a bulk of the scoring load
right now. M-A coach Markisha
Coleman said her defensive strategy was to focus on slowing Gibbs
and Businger and the Bears did hold
them in relative check. Gibbs nished with 15 points while
Businger recorded a double-double

Its not that the Vikings dont

the shooting percentage a couple

some noise in the PAL race.
But at 0-2 after a 38-31 loss to
Burlingame Friday, the Vikings
have to gure it out in a hurry.

How good in the Coast
Conference North when it comes
to mens college basketball? Six
of the seven teams in the division
have winning records and it had
three teams Caada (No. 6),
San Francisco (No. 12) and
Skyline (No. 16) all ranked in
the top-20 in the state in the last
poll before the new year.
And yet Caada nds itself at 11 in conference play, while
Skyline has stumbled to a 0-2
start. The Colts opened conference
play with a convincing win over
the Trojans, but fell to OhloneFremont, 93-82. Skyline, meanwhile, after the loss to its rival,
dropped an 81-69 decision to San
Francisco.
Compare that to the Coast
Conference South, where ve of
the seven teams are well below the

.500 mark. San Jose, at 14-3 and

ranked No. 4 in the state at the end
of December, appears to be legit.
But West Valley, Hartnell and
Gavilan have combined to win 10
games so far this season.

In 1989, Menlo School pulled
off the rare accomplishment of
winning a state championship in
both boys and girls basketball in
the same year.
Thursday night, players from
those teams will be honored
between the girls and boys
games against Mercy-SF (6 p.m.)
and Woodside Priory (7:30 p.m.),
respectively.
Bob Roehl led the 1989 Menlo
boys to the Division V state title
with a 64-59 win over Bel-Air
Prep. The girls, meanwhile, captured the Division V crown as
well, beating Mission Prep-San
Luis Obispo 52-41. It was the rst

Lady Knights would win teams
that were coached by current head

Jesse Chavez, Athletics

agree to $2.15 million deal
OAKLAND Right-hander
Jesse Chavez and the Oakland
Athletics have agreed to a $2.15
million, one-year contract that
avoided salary arbitration.
Chavez stepped in as a key member of the rotation in 2014 when projected starters Jarrod Parker and A.J.
Griffin were each lost for the year to
elbow injuries that required surgery.

Sports briefs
Chavez, 31, went 8-8 with a
3.45 ERA with 21 starts and 32
appearances for a career-high 146
innings last year, when he made
$775,000. The wins were his most
in parts of seven major league seasons with Oakland, Kansas City,
Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Toronto.
He had started two games total
before last year.

Reverse Mortgage Financial Assessment to begin March 2015

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued a nancial assessment for
reverse mortgage borrowers that will take effect
March 2, 2015
HUD writes in explaining the purpose of nancial
assessment, The mortgagee must evaluate the
mortgagors willingness and capacity to timely meet
his or her nancial obligations and to comply with the
mortgage requirements. The mortgage requirements
include paying property taxes, homeowners insurance
and keeping up home maintenance.
HUD states, In conducting this nancial
assessment, mortgagees must take into consideration that some mortgagors seek a HECM due
to nancial difculties, which may be reected
in the mortgagors credit report and/or property
charge payment history. The mortgagee must also
consider to what extent the proceeds of the HECM

could provide a solution to any such nancial difculties. For borrowers who do not demonstrate
their willingness to meet their loan obligations, life
expectancy set-asides will be required.
The mortgagee letter also species documents that
must be collected and submitted to all borrowers. The
documentation has been updated to include Financial
Assessment Documentation including, credit history,
income verication, asset verication, property charge
verication, residual income analysis, documentation
of extenuating circumstances or compensating factors
and calculations for life expectancy and residual
income shortfall set-asides.
If you have a question about qualifying for a reverse
mortgage today, or how the nancial assessment will
impact your situation, contact us today.

A reverse mortgage is a loan that enable

homeowners 62 or older to borrow against the
equity in their home without having to give up
title, or take on a monthly mortgage payment.
The money received can be used for any purpose.
The loan amount depends on the borrowers age,
current interest rates, and the value of the home.
Borrower must maintain property as primary
residence and remain current on property taxes
and homeowners insurance. A reverse mortgage
does not have to be repaid until the borrower
sells or moves out of the home permanently,
and the repayment amount cannot exceed the
value of the home. After the loan is repaid any
remaining equity is distributed to the borrower or
the borrowers estate.

Study says overweight

preschoolers may slim
down with Head Start
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Head Start programs have been shown to help

poor children do better in school,
but they may also help them fight
obesity, a study suggests.
During a year of Head Start preschool, obese and overweight
children were much more likely to
slim down than comparison
groups of kids.
The study involved almost
44,000 preschool-aged children
in Michigan and the researchers,
from the University of Michigan,
acknowledge it has weaknesses.
But they say the potential benefits are important because obesity is so hard to treat and affects
low-income children disproportionately.
Five things to know about the
research,
published online
Monday in Pediatrics:

HEAD START
Head Start is a federal prekindergarten program offered free
in every state to low-income families. It often involves full-day
preschool, focusing on school
readiness, healthy eating and

physical activity. Many programs provide children two daily

meals, and give families health
and nutrition advice. More than 1
million U.S. children participate.

THE CHILDREN
Almost 44,000 children participated, including about 19,000
Head Start kids. They were compared with
children
from
Medicaid families and with those
from wealthier, privately insured
families. Health records and Head
Start data provided height and
weight measurements between
the ages of age 2 and 6.

THE RESULTS
About 16 percent of kids entering Head Start were obese, versus
12 percent of Medicaid kids and 7
percent of the others. After a year,
almost 11 percent of initially
obese Head Start kids became normal weight, compared with none
of the Medicaid kids and less than
2 percent of the others. The
improvements lasted through the
end of the study, or when the kids
entered kindergarten.
Similar trends were seen in kids
who started out overweight but
not obese.

Nationwide, about 8 percent of preschoolers are obese, but the rate was mostly higher during the 2005-13 study.
Nationwide, about 8 percent of
preschoolers are obese, but the
rate was mostly higher during the
2005-13 study.

THE SKINNY
The study found a reverse benefit for underweight children.
Those in Head Start were more
likely to gain weight and achieve
a healthy weight after a year than
other underweight kids.

THE LIMITATIONS
Th e Head St art g ro up h ad

fewer blacks and more whites

than the Medicaid group; the
n o n -Medi cai d g ro up h ad t h e
fewest number of minority kids.
A more rigorous test would
have compared more similar
groups, randomly assigning
only some children to attend
Head Start. That would be unethical because of Head Starts educational benefits, said lead
researcher Dr. Julie Lumeng. Its
likely that many kids in the comparison groups attended some
kind preschool, perhaps including Head Start. That means its

not certain that participation in

Head Start explains the weight
improvements, she said.
But Dr. David Ludwig, a
Harvard Medical School pediatrics professor and director of an
obesity prevention center at
Childrens Hospital Boston,
called the results are impressive
and encouraging despite the limitations.
He said the researchers chose a
very reasonable alternative
study design, and that the results
make sense, given the services
Head Start programs provide.

Kaisers 2,600 mental health workers strike in California

By Olga R. Rodriguez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Kaiser

Permanente mental health professionals throughout California
went on a strike Monday to
protest what they say is a lack of
staffing that affects care.
The health care providers 2,600
psychologists, therapists and
social workers began the weeklong walkout to demand that
Kaiser Permanente offer timely,
quality mental health care at its
psychiatry departments and clinics, said Jim Clifford, a union

member and San Diego psychiatric therapist.

Clifford said some patients have
to wait up to two months for follow-up appointments, which prolongs the recovery process.
Kaiser purports to be the leader
in health care, but its continuing
the history of discrimination
against the mentally ill, and thats
unacceptable to us, said Clifford,
who has been with Kaiser for 13
years.
The mental health workers are
represented by the National Union
of Healthcare Workers, which has
been unable to reach a contract

agreement with Kaiser since the

union formed five years ago.
Wearing red T-shirts and holding
signs that read Fair Wages Now
and Social Workers for Quality
Care, mental health workers
picketed outside dozens of
Kaiser medical
c e n t e r s
t h r o ug h o ut
California and
vowed to continue
their
strike through
next Monday.
John Nelson,

Kaisers vice president of government relations, denied there is a

shortage of mental health staff. He
said the health plan has increased
staffing statewide by 25 percent in
the past three years, while mem-

bership grew by 8 percent during

the same period.
He said the false claims are part
of the unions bargaining tactic.

ing this service back to Mills High, CostaBatis wrote in an email.
In May 2013, some students taking the
exams at Mills were seated at round tables, a
violation of testing protocol. Students are
required to face the same direction. After a
student complaint prompted an investigation by Educational Testing Service, the
tests publisher, found no misconduct but
invalidated 641 scores that July. Nearly 300
students were allowed to retake the tests in
August but, by that time, the high school
year was over and some pupils were already
at college. Those who did take the exams
again only had a small window to study for
the new test. The incident led to the district
suing for the scores to be restored, but the
case was ultimately thrown out. Some
change did come when state Sen. Jerry Hill,
D-San Mateo, authored and passed legislation signed by Gov. Jerry Brown that created an expedited timeline for investigations
and subsequent new testing. The bill also
requires test administrators to keep a seating chart, noting the Mills High investiga-

tion was delayed and a wide range of scores

canceled because there was no documentation showing where students sat.
Typically, the breadth of the violations
at Mills High School, compounded by the
subsequent contention that exam security
and exam administration policies and procedures are not essential, would disqualify
Mills High School from administering AP
Exams, requiring your school to work with
neighboring schools willing to order and
administer exams for your students, Trevor
Packer, senior vice president of advanced
placement and instruction for the College
Board, wrote in a January 2014 letter to
Mills. However, we understand the difficulty you experienced as you attempted to placate your community and we have no interest in extending such difficulties for you.
Packer went on to write the College Board
would recertify Mills with a few conditions
including the designation of a new AP coordinator for the school. The district selected
Mills Assistant Principal Don Scatana as
the new coordinator. The College Board
asked that Scatana attend a free AP coordinators workshop called Organizing Your AP
Exam Administration. In addition to the
$64,535 charge, the district needed to agree
to three years of onsite visits from the
Educational Testing Service, which admin-

isters AP tests for the College Board, during

AP exams at the school, costing $4,000 per
year.
The district responded to the College
Board in a letter Oct. 13, 2014, stating that
it agreed that AP exam site requirements
were not followed at Mills High School, and
that was unfortunate, but that the fees were
troubling to the Board of Trustees since its
highest priority is using educational dollars
to further educational programs. At the
time, Liz McManus, deputy superintendent
of business services, asked for reinstatement to come with a significant reduction in
the fees College Board was charging.
In the final analysis, it was the senior
test takers who suffered the most as they had
the most to lose: college credits, a head
start in college course work planning and
significant financial savings (students who
pass and excel on AP exams, scored on a
scale of one to five, are eligible for college
credit), McManus wrote in the letter.
These students were among the brightest
and most capable of our students, and it
should not surprise anyone that they eventually looked to the legal system for
redress. While we can debate whether their
legal action was appropriate, what cannot
be debated is that these students demonstrated strong leadership skills in organizing

themselves into a cohesive group in seeking redress in a court of law. In fact, many of
students rallied around the voice of a few
impassioned students. For the district and
its students and parents, the wound is still
open. Payment of a $64,535 reinstatement
fee just rubs salt in it.
Now, the school itself is happy to be
moving past the issue.
Weve always taken the security of the
test very seriously, said Principal Paul
Belzer. Were very pleased to be able to
provide that service for our students. Were
going to learn from this and continue to
make certain we are providing as good a
possible situation from our students moving forward.
Affected parents like Paul Seto, PTO president, agreed with Belzer.
We are grateful to the SMUHSD and the
Board of Trustees to put this difficult chapter
behind us and look forward to future cooperation for the benefit our community, he
wrote in an email. Working together, we
hope to build on this positive momentum in
our pursuit of excellence expected at Mills
High School.

county. Theres a lot of good reasons for us

to have a healthy, vibrant event, Beeman
said.
Unlike an airshow where the airspace is
closed, the event traditionally hosted static
displays and active events while keeping
the airport open for business.
Organizers are working with the FAA to
garner permits allowing them to host the
active spectator sports and allow visitors to
fly in.
One neighbor reportedly had complained
to county and FAA officials, ultimately forcing organizers to rethink how they can mingle a classic car show and extreme sport
exhibitions at the airport.
Similar to the citys Pumpkin Festival,
Dream Machines attracts tens of thousands
of visitors to the typically sleepy coastal
town.
No matter what event we have, theres
concerns from neighbors because of traffic
and noise, Councilman John Mueller said.
But its not a year-long event; its a weekend. And the bottom line is its giving back
to the community. So we sacrifice a little bit
when we have events like this so we can

share with the community. Im just so

amazed and so proud with the coastside,
with how much people give back.
With more than 2,000 machines on display, the show raises critical funds for the
Coastside Adult Day Health Center and other
community service groups.
Were very gratified that the event has
generated so much public interest and generated so much support these years. Its really
quite unique, theres nowhere else in the
greater Bay Area where you can see this type
of event, Hooker said. Were really
thrilled that well have the opportunity to
bring back all the active events that people
love so much and we have some other really
fun stuff planed to mark our 25th anniversary. We plan to honor the visionaries and
founders of the event.
Show organizer Bob Senz and the late
Andreini will be honored at the event. Senz
has been involved with the event since its
inception and Hooker said hes proud to
honor a key player of Dream Machines this
year.
Andreini and his family are well known
among the community and help set up the

event thats a testament to the coasts community spirit, said Mueller, a longtime
friend of the family.
Organizers said theyre continuing to
work with the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors and the FAA to put on the 25th
rendition of the most spectacular, eclectic
show on the coast.
I think its very special because in the
Bay Area, theres a lot of collectors of some
crazy [stuff] out here. Everybody collects
something and its a place to share it.
Whether its a steam engine or a Corvette.
Its always amazing when they just sit
against the fender of whatever and show
how proud they are Mueller said. [The
extreme sports are] also an opportunity for
a group of individuals to share their skills,
whether theyre driving or riding.

STRIKE

Meanwhile, more than 18,000 Kaiser nurses and nurse practitioners in Northern and
Central California are planning to strike Jan.
21-22.
The nurses say Kaiser has cut hospital services, restricted admission of patients and has
discharged patients who still need care.
The walkout will affect all 86 Kaiser
Permanente hospitals and clinics.
The workers, who are part of the California
Nurses
Association/National
Nurses
Association, are striking to protest what
they call a growing erosion of patient care
standards, according to a news release.

Continued from page 17

They think that attacking Kaiser
Permanentes reputation will get them a better contract, Nelson said. Its frustrating,
its disappointing, but its their strategy.
He said that appointments are being
rescheduled and that during the strike, psychiatrists on staff will treat patients in crisis
or with an emergency.

Doctor who beat Ebola heading back to Liberia

By Philip Marcelo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WORCESTER,
Mass.

The
Massachusetts doctor who beat Ebola plans
to return to Liberia, where he contracted the
deadly virus, in order to help overworked
colleagues in the missionary hospital
where he has worked for years.
Dr. Rick Sacra, 52, of Holden, said
Monday he wont be working directly with
Ebola patients but might be asked to help
from time to time, since doctors say hes
now immune. He departs Thursday.
The medical staff is a little bit reduced.
Theyve been working very hard and
frankly they need a little bit of a breather,
he said at the University of Massachusetts
Medical School, where he is an assistant
professor. I just feel the need to return to
hopefully give them a break so they dont
burn out.
But Sacra said he has no interest in testing his immunity and promised to follow all
the necessary Ebola safety protocols.
He expects to be mostly treating patients
with malaria and chronic health issues like
high blood pressure and diabetes at ELWA, a
hospital in the Liberian capital of
Monrovia that is run by Serving In
Mission, a North Carolina-based Christian
organization.
I guess Im less nervous about this trip
because the thing that I was afraid of having
last time, Ive had it, and, thank God, Im
through it, Sacra said.
Sacra contracted Ebola in August while

caring for pregnant women not suspected to
have Ebola, including delivering babies and
performing several cesarean sections. He
was treated and released from an Omaha,
Nebraska, hospital in September.
Sacra said hes nearly at full strength now,
after some bumps in the road to recovery
that included treatment for vision prob-

lems, physical therapy and an upper respiratory tract infection that briefly sent him
back to the hospital in October.
I think of those in Liberia that are having to deal with all these same challenges,
with so much less help than Ive had, he
said.
Sacra returns to a country and a region

that appears to be turning a corner in controlling the spread of Ebola, which has
claimed over 8,000 lives, mostly in the
West African nations of Sierra Leone,
Liberia and Guinea, according to the World
Health Organization.
During a recent three-week period, the
organization reported 70 confirmed new
cases of Ebola in Liberia, compared to some
900 in neighboring Sierra Leone and over
300 in Guinea.
Sacra also noted that each country now
has enough beds to treat Ebola patients, and
that four out of every 10 Ebola patients are
now surviving the virus.
Sacra is among at least 10 people a
majority of them health care workers that
have been treated in the U.S. Two of those
patients have died.
He is the first U.S. patient to return to
West Africa. A British nurse, William
Pooley, returned to Sierra Leone in October
after being treated in London in September.
Sacras wife, Debbie, who joined him
Monday, said she and the couples three
sons understand and support Sacras decision to return.
She noted that Liberian doctors and
health care workers who have survived the
disease are already working in Ebola units
and caring for children orphaned by it.
There is a mindset of paying it forward
there, Debbie Sacra said. I dont really
have any worries. Im just really happy for
him and Im really happy for Liberia. ... I
know there are a lot of people looking forward to seeing him.

Medicare pays doctors to coordinate seniors chronic care

By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Adjusting medications

before someone gets sick enough to visit the
doctor. Updating outside specialists so one
doctors prescription doesnt interfere with
anothers.
Starting this month, Medicare will pay primary care doctors a monthly fee to better
coordinate care for the most vulnerable seniors those with multiple chronic illnesses
even if they dont have a face-to-face
exam.
The goal is to help patients stay healthier
between doctor visits, and avoid pricey hospitals and nursing homes.
We all need care coordination. Medicare
patients need it more than ever, said Sean
Cavanaugh, deputy administrator at the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
About two-thirds of Medicare beneficiaries

have two or more chronic conditions, such as

diabetes, heart disease or kidney disease.
Their care is infamously fragmented. They
tend to visit numerous doctors for different
illnesses.
Too often, no one oversees their overall
health making sure multiple treatments
dont mix badly, that X-rays and other tests
arent repeated just because one doctor didnt
know another already had ordered them, and
that nothing falls between the cracks.
Medicares new fee, which is about $40 a
month per qualified patient, marks a big policy shift. Usually, the program pays for services in the doctors office.
Were hoping to spur change, getting
physicians to be much more willing to spend
time working on the needs of these patients
without necessitating the patient to come
into the office, Cavanaugh told the
Associated Press.
To earn the new fee, doctors must come up

with a care plan for qualified patients, and

spend time each month on such activities as
coordinating their care with other health
providers and monitoring their medications.
Also, patients must have a way to reach
someone with the care team who can access
their health records 24 hours a day, for proper
evaluation of an after-hours complaint.
Many primary care physicians already do
some of that.
Quite honestly, I just didnt get paid for
it, said Dr. Robert Wergin, president of the
American Academy of Family Physicians.
Wergin estimates he spends about two
hours a day doing such things as calling elderly patients who have a hard time visiting
his office in rural Milford, Nebraska.
Say someone with heart failure reports a little weight gain, a possible sign of fluid
buildup but not enough to make the patient
call for an appointment. Wergin might adjust
the medication dose over the phone, and urge

an in-person exam in a few days if that doesnt solve the problem.

The new fee could enable physicians to hire
extra nurses or care managers to do more of
that preventive work, Wergin said. Patients
must agree to care coordination; the fee is
subject to Medicares standard deductible and
coinsurance. Wergin plans to explain it as,
This is how were going to hopefully manage your illnesses better at home.
But for some patients, care coordination
can require a lot more work.
Its like being a quarterback, Dr. Matthew
Press wrote in the New England Journal of
Medicine last summer in describing the 80
days between diagnosing a mans liver cancer
and his surgery. The internist, while at Weill
Cornell Medical College, sent 32 emails and
had eight phone calls with the patients 11
other physicians. Thats something CMS

CALTRAIN
Continued from page 1
system improvements.
Retrofitting between six and eight of
the new rail cars for bicyclists will
allow Caltrain to add a third bike car on
several Bombardier trains, said Caltrain
spokeswoman Jayme Ackemann.
Assuming the Board of Directors
approves the proposal in February, the
extra bike cars would increase capacity
on Bombardier trains from 48 to 72.
The increased capacity would bring the
Bombardier trains more in line with the
newer gallery trains that can carry 80
bicyclists spread between two cars,
Ackemann said.
It allows [bicyclists] much more
consistency in planning their trips.
Right now, a lot of bicyclists try to
plan their trips on a gallery train
because theres more slots available and
theyre less likely to be bumped,
Ackemann said. Demand is growing
across the board and were trying to be
as accommodating as we possibly can
for all of our riders.
Rob Kahn, who commutes from his
San Francisco home to his job in
Mountain View, said hes been riding
Caltrain for 10 years. Kahn had urged
some of the Bombardier cars be set
aside for bicyclists because supporting
means for commuters to get to and from
the train station is critical.
This is a win-win: more overall
capacity for all commuters and more
capacity for bike commuters who will
have the confidence that they can count
on Caltrain as [a] reliable option,
Kahn wrote in an email. The days of

VETS
Continued from page 1
While veterans often begin with the
Department of Defense to access benefits and care, assessment authors
Applied Survey Research noted in the
document that the county, in many
ways act as a bridge between larger
government agencies and smaller community resources.
While the data collected suggests
most veterans are doing well 90 percent are gainfully employed, for
instance ASR found that some need
extra help because they are struggling
financially in a very expensive county,
looking for work or dealing with physical, mental or behavioral health issues
that havent been addressed adequately.
The assessment used interviews and
focus groups of 35 veterans and three
veteran dependents whose service went
as far back as the Korean and Vietnam
wars up through Operation Enduring
Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom and
Operation New Day. Some also served
in peacetime. Nine of the participants

getting stranded because Caltrain ran

out of bike space will hopefully be a
thing of the past.
The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition
has urged Caltrain to make room for
more bicyclists and coalition Policy
Director Tyler Frisbee said 13 percent of
Caltrain riders bring bikes on board.
That shows an increase in people
who are combining healthy, sustainable
transportation options to get around the
Bay Area. We are thrilled that Caltrain is
taking steps to provide more predictable
service for people who need to bring
their bikes on Caltrain and have already
heard from many users who are relieved
that they can now count on Caltrain to
help them get between home and work in
a reliable fashion, Frisbee said.
With near monthly record-breaking
ridership, Ackemann said Caltrain
hopes to expedite some of the new cars
into service as early as six months;
however, it could be a year to 18
months before all 16 are in use. None of
the newly purchased cars are outfitted
for bicyclists and a release schedule will
depend on the scope of work and
whether Caltrain can conduct any of the
retrofitting itself, Ackemann said.
Although the Bombardier cars where
purchased from the Southern California
Regional Rail Authority, most refurbishing companies are located on the
East Coast or even Canada. The long
trip means the cars must be meticulously transported, often one at a time,
while connected to freight trains heading across the country, Ackemann said.
While the 16 new Bombardier cars
will help with the popular rail services
steadily increasing ridership in the
interim, the agency is in the midst of a
massive system upgrade known as the
Caltrain Modernization Project.

The billion-dollar project will electrify 51 miles of track between San Jose
and San Francisco, implement a modern
control system and purchase new
trains.
Caltrain recently completed a survey
seeking input on what types of design
and amenities the public would like to
see in the new electric trains.
Ackemann said staff is continuing to
compile the results and no decisions
have been made regarding bike cars.
With estimates that its current ridership will double in the next 30 years,
Ackemann said Caltrain must look at
increasing seating, standing and bicycle capacity.
Its how do we get the greatest
amount of each of those three priorities
while still maintaining our budget and
producing a vehicle thats going to be
easy to maintain, low cost and meets
the needs of the system. So its a balancing act and we just havent derived at
what the right form is yet, Ackemann
said.
The Caltrain Board of Directors will
vote at its Feb. 5 meeting whether to
approve dedicating some of the new
equipment for bikes as well as review
which manufacturers to enlist in refurbishing the Bombardier cars for both
traditional passengers and bike-toting
commuters, Ackemann said.
Caltrain ridership across the board,
bicyclist and non-bicyclist, is growing
at an absolutely unprecedented pace,
Ackemann said. And we are absolutely
really pleased that were going to be
able to add capacity to our system that
will be usable for all of our riders across
all segments.

were women and about one-third were

minorities. While only a cross-section
of the countys full veteran population,
the focus groups narrowed the most
important needs to employment, education and training, housing, mental
health and disability benefits.
The older focus group members tended to bring up needs related to aging
and taking care of spouses after their
deaths. Specifically, they said there is a
need for help accessing both civilian
and veterans benefits, according to the
assessment.
For the rest of the current fiscal year,
Human Services Agency Director Iliana
Rodriguez and the County Managers
Office recommends creating a Veterans
Advisory Group, increasing education
and outreach to veterans about the services and benefits, improving the collection of data about veterans and training county staff and those who work
with veterans like the Homeless
Outreach Teams.
The Veterans Advisory Group will be
an expansion of the steering committee created for the assessment and will
work both on the local recommendations and to identify ways to work with
state and federal partners.

The Human Services Agency already

offers a Veterans Services Office to help
veterans applying for VA benefits to
also connect with county programs
like food stamps and medical care while
waiting for the paperwork to process.
As of December 2013, the average wait
time for those seeking disability benefits was 486 days versus the national
average of 320 days.
Based on the needs assessment, the
county wants to develop outreach materials about the available benefits and
how to get them. For example,
although the county has an estimated
32,000 veterans, only 11,000 were
enrolled in the VA medical system and
only 6,123 regularly use the services,
according to the Department of
Veterans Affairs.
In a second phase running through
the end of fiscal years 2015 to 2017,
the county will look at creating a
multi-disciplinary team to serve veterans with more complex needs and
establishing a housing locator program. The team will include staff from
HSA, the Health System, Housing
Department, Probation, Sheriffs
Office, Veterans Treatment Court and
others to help veterans who need multiple safety net services. The
team might also target specialized veteran populations
like women, the chronically
homeless or those with mental health and substance
abuse issues.
The
recommendation
Tuesday does not ask for any
extra
money
although
Rodriguez and the deputy
county managers note in
their board memo that future
budget or Measure A sales tax
funding requests will be made
to continue implementing
the plans. The board previously allocated $358,306 in
Measure A money for veterans services. The funds paid
for the assessment and the
remaining money will be put
toward the first phase.
