Brown pushes tax extension
Governor proposes $12.5 billion in cuts to state programs
Budget proposal
OVERVIEW:
• Total spending,including special funds and bond
payments, is $127.4 billion for the 2011-12 fiscal
year,slightly ahead of the current total spending
of $125.2 billion.
• General fund spending is $84.6 billion, slightly
less than the $86.5 billion adopted for the current
fiscal year.
• The deficit is $8.2 billion in the current fiscal year
and $17.2 billion in the fiscal year that begins July
1.
TAX EXTENSIONS & BORROWING
• Ask voters during a special election in June to
maintain a 0.25 increase in the state income tax
rate,an increase from 0.65 percent to 1.15 percent
in the vehicle license fee and a 1 percent increase
in the state sales tax for another five years. If
approved,some of the revenue from the sales tax
and vehicle license fees would go to local
governments.
• Ends a corporate tax break and streamlines the
current tax structure by requiring all corporations
to pay taxes solely on their share of sales in
California,generating $942 million.
• Ends tax breaks available to businesses that
operate in depressed areas designated as
enterprise zones,generating $924 million.
• Borrows $362 million from the unemployment
compensation disability fund to pay for interest
the state owes on unemployment insurance
loans.
• Extends a hospital tax that expired at the end of
2010,bringing in an extra $160 million.
• Uses $98 million in funds from Proposition 63,the
voter-approved mental health fund, to pay for
mental health services for special education
students, saving that money from the general
fund.
EDUCATION
• Cuts of $500 million each for the University of
California and California State University systems.
• Cuts $400 million from the California Community
College system and increases fees to $36 per unit
from $26 per unit, which is forecast to bring in
$110 million.
MEDI-CAL:
• Caps doctor visits to 10 per year and sets
maximum annual benefit limits for items such as
hearing aids, medical equipment and urological
supplies for a savings of $217 million.
• Requires co-payments from Medi-Cal recipients
of $5 for doctor’s office visits and most
prescriptions, and a $50 emergency room co-
payment;limits the number of prescription drugs
to six per month,for a savings of $557 million.

Gov. Jerry Brown’s spending
plan, released yesterday, calls for
cutting $12.5 billion from the budg-
et and raising another $12.5 billion
by extending taxes through ballot
initiatives in a June election.
His plan seeks a “vast and his-
toric” restructuring of government
to eliminate redundancies and trans-
fer some services back to cities and
counties to help the state tackle a
$25 billion shortfall.
The budget proposal seeks the
elimination of local redevelopment
agencies but preserves K-12 educa-
tion spending at last year’s level.
However, Brown’s budget solu-
tions rely on voter approval in June
to extend current hikes in taxes on
purchases, income and vehicles for
the next five years.
The existing taxes are set to
expire in June.

City revisits medical pot collective ban
South City to consider regulations on size, activities and security
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A medical marijuana facility serving no more
than 150 patients could be coming to South San
Francisco as elected officials are set to tackle
regulations more than a year after enacting a
temporary moratorium on collectives.
On Wednesday, the South San Francisco City
Council will hold a public hearing to consider
establishing regulations on medical marijuana
collectives. As proposed, the ordinance would
allow one to open with regulations over size,
on-site activities and security. However, an out-
right ban is still an option. Before any decision
can be made, councilmembers still have many
questions.
Mayor Kevin Mullin’s initial inclination is to
support allowing a capped number of facilities,
City considers truck route changes
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
How big trucks should access a commercial
area in San Mateo through a residential neigh-
borhood has been the subject of debate for two
years, causing residents to challenge a City
Council decision to classify a single avenue as a
designated truck route.
In 2008, the San Mateo City Council adopted
a policy designating Fifth Avenue, east of
Humboldt Street, in the Central Neighborhood
as the truck route to serve the Amphlett
Boulevard commercial area. However, residents
in the area challenged the decision and forced
an environmental review process.
Residents sought the review, in part, because
of the potential to negatively impact property
values, according to a staff report.
The environmental review process found that
there would be no significant impacts to resi-
dents on Fifth Avenue by designating it a truck
route. The environmental report also indicated
LOCAL
say one or two, with high security to meet the
medical marijuana needs of South San
Francisco residents.
Location then becomes an issue. Mullin noted
it shouldn’t be in a residential area.
As proposed, the ordinance would prohibit a
collective to be within 1,000 feet of a residential
district, public or private school, youth center,
public library, park facility or smoke shop,
according to the staff report written by Assistant
City Manager Marty Van Duyn. Such a facility
would be allowed to serve a maximum of 150
patients. On-site cultivation and consumption
would be prohibited and broad security would
be required.
Vice Mayor Rich Garbarino has struggled
with this topic for years. He continues to have
questions and location is one of the biggest.
He’d like to gather opinions from business own-
there would be no significant impacts to resi-
dents on Humboldt Street or Ninth Avenue if
those streets were designated for truck use.
On Wednesday, the San Mateo Public Works
Commission will weigh in on one of three
options staff is proposing to ease trucks into the
Amphlett commercial area with the least
impacts to the Central Neighborhood.
The three options are to retain Fifth Avenue as
the only truck route in the neighborhood; add
Ninth Avenue and Humboldt Street as truck
routes to supplement Fifth Avenue; and to not
designate any truck routes in the Central
Neighborhood to serve the Amphlett commer-
cial area.
The Fifth Avenue truck route affects 23 sin-
gle-family homes, according to a staff report.
By adding Humboldt Street and Ninth
Avenue as truck routes for the commercial
area, 67 additional homes would be affected
by truck traffic in the Central Neighborhood,
ers about having a collective nearby.
Garbarino also questions if legal battles over
the matter are complete and why individuals
can’t grow their own. At the same time, he isn’t
sure a ban would solve the problem.
Councilwoman Karyl Matsumoto has tradi-
tionally been supportive of regulated collec-
tives. Since the last moratorium, she’s visited
collectives around the Bay Area to see how they
work firsthand. Matsumoto is open to opinions,
but is struggling with the availability of medical
marijuana.
While the recommendation to the council is
to set regulations, an outright ban is not off the
table. In San Mateo County, Colma, Half Moon
Bay and Millbrae have bans. Collectives are
allowed in San Carlos, San Mateo and the unin-
See POT, Page 8
according to the staff report.
Fifth Avenue will have to be reconstructed to
accommodate truck traffic while Ninth Avenue
and Humboldt Street are considered arterial and
collector streets that are already designed to
carry truck traffic, according to the staff report.
If the commission only OKs Fifth Avenue as
the designated truck route, the number of trucks
that use the avenue to access Amphlett would be
increased from 74 under existing conditions to
280, according to the staff report.

Newsom pledges to focus on jobs

By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Gavin Newsom
pledged Monday to bring more of
California’s entrepreneurial spirit to the
Capitol as he was sworn in as
California’s 49th lieutenant governor.
Newsom, 43, a former San Francisco
mayor, pledged to focus on job creation
and other economic issues as he took the
oath of office administered by his father,
William Newsom, a retired associate
justice of the California Court of Appeal
in San Francisco, inside the Senate
chamber.
Gavin Newsom, founder of the
Plumpjack restaurant group, said in his
inauguration speech he will focus on
helping businesses and employment
despite his limited role as California’s
second-in-command.
“I know my role as lieutenant gover-
nor is limited,” Newsom said.
“Hopefully I can encourage everyone
around here to take some risks ... We’ve
got to bring that entrepreneurial spirit
back into Sacramento and not be afraid
of tomorrow’s headlines.”
Best known for his support of same-sex marriage and for creating a universal health
plan in San Francisco, Gavin Newsom said he brings local perspective for a state
mired in a fiscal crisis.
The lieutenant governor fills in when
the governor travels out of state or is
incapacitated. Newsom also will serve
on the governing boards of the state’s
public universities and commissions
dealing with economic development and
conservation.

Newsom defeated former Republican
lieutenant governor Abel Maldonado last
fall. Maldonado, who was in attendance
Monday, said he hopes Gov. Jerry

ly the way he did with former Gov.

Feds drop Laos conspiracy case
SACRAMENTO — Federal prosecutors on Monday
dropped all remaining charges against a dozen men once
accused of plotting to violently overthrow the communist gov-
ernment of Laos, a move that suddenly ends a 3 1/2-year-old
international case that reverberated with the last echoes of the
Vietnam War.
Charges against 11 members of California’s Hmong commu-
nity and a former U.S. Army officer were dismissed “in the
interests of justice,” according to court documents filed in U.S.
District Court in Sacramento and obtained by the Associated
Press.
The move follows the death of Hmong leader and Vietnam
War-era Gen. Vang Pao, 81, last week.
The general led Hmong guerrillas in their CIA-backed battle
against communists in the 1960s and 1970s. He is revered as a
father figure by the 240,000 Hmong now in the U.S., many liv-
ing in California’s Central Valley and the Upper Midwest.
Thousands of Hmong journeyed to Sacramento’s federal
courthouse to wave American flags in peaceful protests each
time there was another hearing in the case.
“They should have dropped it a long time ago,” said Blong
Xiong, a Fresno city councilman and the first Hmong-
American in California to win a city council seat. “We’re just
happy that it’s over with. The cloud over the community is
gone, and it will allow the community to mourn the death of the
general.”
Vang Pao was the target when prosecutors first brought
charges in June 2007, based on information provided by an
undercover federal agent who showed weapons to the general
and others outside a Thai restaurant in Sacramento.

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown’s office says his con-
troversial pick for the state Board of Education, former state
superintendent Bill Honig, has withdrawn his name for the job.
Honig was convicted of conflict-of-interest charges in 1993
for using state Department of Education funds to finance his
wife’s private education project while he was superintendent of
public instruction.
Honig had been a Brown appointee to the board from 1975
to 1983.
The felony charges were later reduced to misdemeanors, but
Honig’s wife committed suicide, partly because of stress from
the case, he said then.
Brown’s office gave no reason for the withdrawal. On

Shooting suspect held without bail
By Jacques Billeaud
and Julie Watson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Jared Loughner, head
shaved, a cut on his right temple and his
hands cuffed, stared vacantly at a packed
courtroom Monday and sat down. His
attorney, who defended “Unabomber”
Ted Kaczynski, whispered to him.
It was the nation’s first look at the 22-
year-old loner accused of trying to
assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
The three-term Democrat lay about a
100 miles away in a Tucson intensive
care unit, gravely wounded after being
shot through the head but able to give a
thumbs-up sign that doctors found as a
reason to hope.
Loughner seemed impassive and at
one point stood at a lectern in his beige
prison jumpsuit. A U.S. marshal stood
guard nearby.
The judge asked if he understood that
he could get life in prison — or the death
penalty — for killing federal Judge John
Roll, one of six who died in the shooting
rampage at Giffords’ outdoor meeting
with constituents Saturday in Tucson.
“Yes,” he said. His newly appointed
lawyer, Judy Clarke, stood beside him as
the judge ordered Loughner held with-
out bail.
Throngs of reporters and television
news crews lined up outside the federal
courthouse, where the hearing was
moved from Tucson. The entire federal
bench there recused itself because Roll
was the chief judge.
Hours earlier, the nation observed a
moment of silence for the victims, from
the South Lawn of the White House and
the steps of the U.S. Capitol to legisla-
tures beyond Arizona and the planet
itself. At the International Space
Station, Giffords’ brother-in-law, Scott,
the commanding officer, spoke over the
radio as flight controllers in Houston
fell silent.

Insanity defense difficult
for young Arizona gunman
By Mark Sherman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — In an earlier
time, the emerging portrait of a deeply
troubled young man might have given
Jared Loughner’s lawyers the basis of
an insanity defense. But John
Hinckley’s successful insanity claim
after shooting President Ronald Reagan
led Congress to raise the bar, making
the task harder.
The Justice Department has not said
whether it will seek the death penalty
against Loughner, the suspect in the
shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and
the deaths of a federal judge, a congres-
sional aide and four other people. But
federal prosecutors already are moving Jared Loughner
forward with charges, and veteran
lawyers anticipate they will ask for him Reagan, Harvard Law School professor

Barack Obama speaks to the media about the shooting in Arizona in the Oval Office of the White
House in Washington,D.C.
After attack,a leadership
test for Obama, Boehner
Laurie Kellman and Liz Sidoti
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — On opposite sides of
the political spectrum, President Barack
Obama and new House Speaker John Boehner
suddenly face the same challenge: rise above
the anger, suspicion and hostility of their lib-
eral and conservative bases to help a rattled
nation deal with the deadly outburst of vio-
lence in Arizona.
But what comes after the easy moment of
silence?
For now, both men are stepping past the
question of what role, if any, the vitriol of the
past election campaign played in Saturday’s
shooting rampage that left Rep. Gabrielle
Giffords in critical condition and six others
dead. Instead, they’re grappling with the high-
stakes test the tragedy presents over how to
lead the nation going forward.
Obama, the Democratic president halfway
through his term, has spoken of his regret for
not having raised the level of political dis-
course in a deeply divided nation. Boehner,
the newly installed Republican House speak-
er, is second in line to the presidency but has
yet to shape his role as a national figure.
For both men, the path ahead is perilous,
filled with the political risk of alienating parts
of the stunned electorate.
The parties’ rank-and-file supporters handle
the nuts and bolts of electoral politics —
fundraising, door-knocking and the like. But
they also are sources of the red-hot rhetoric

ATLANTA — Temperatures plummeted late Monday, turn-

corporated parts of San Mateo County. Many cities — Brisbane,
Daly City, San Bruno and Redwood City — have temporary
bans in place.
The conversation about medical marijuana collectives began in
South San Francisco in 2006.
In 1996, California voters passed the Compassionate Use Act
permitting the possession and cultivation of marijuana for med-
ical use. On Jan. 1, 2004, Senate Bill 420, the Medical Marijuana
Program, specified the extent of the law. The South San
Francisco City Council unanimously — but begrudgingly —
approved regulations filling the “gaps” left by the legislation in
2006.
In 2009, the Island of Health Collective proposal was the first
since South City approved local regulations. The city approved a
permit to open a medical marijuana collective at 175 Utah Ave.,
which was stalled after neighbors appealed the decision in
October 2009. Before the appeal could be heard, a moratorium
on collectives was passed. The appeal cannot be heard until after
the temporary ban has ended. The group backing the marijuana
collective did not have the money available to wait that long.
Scot Candell, a San Rafael-based attorney representing Island
of Health, confirmed the collective is still interested in opening a
South San Francisco facility. However, it was not able to keep the
Utah Avenue location rented for an indefinite amount of time.
Should the moratorium be lifted, and regulations set, the group
would need to reapply.
At the same meeting, the council will consider increasing
parking violations by $3 to cover rising state take-away as part of
the Budget Act of 2010.

Convicted batterer
admits stalking
A three-time convicted batterer
accused of beating his girlfriend severe-
ly and holding her hostage at knifepoint
was sentenced to three years and eight
months in prison on charges of felony
assault and stalking.
Ever Justin Quintanilla, 37, of
Redwood City, pleaded no contest to the
two charges in return for the term. He
was also ordered not to contact the vic-
tim for 10 years and to pay her restitu-
tion in an amount to be determined.
According to prosecutors, on Feb. 7,
the victim allowed Quintanilla to spend
the night at her San Mateo home despite
a restraining order but, the following
morning, he grew angry about the felony
case on which he was due in court Feb.
9.
Quintanilla allegedly threatened to kill
the woman before leaving and returned
later that evening, banging on windows
and demanding to come inside.
Quintanilla reportedly broke into the res-
idence and beat the woman with his fists
and a skateboard, breaking her leg and
nose and bruising her body. The next
morning, Quintanilla allegedly brought
her food and apologized before leaving
for his court appearance on charges of
stalking, residential burglary and mak-
ing felony threats on Oct. 1. The woman
called a friend who in turn contact
police.
At the time of the arrest, Quintanilla
had three prior misdemeanor domestic
violence convictions against other
women. He also had a two-year prison
term under his belt for a pair of felony
and one misdemeanor drug count from
2000.

entrance door,
according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The incident took place in the early
afternoon. Stolen were two guitars, a
laptop computer, a video camera and a
wedding ring, according to the Sheriff’s
Office.
The suspect is described as a white
man, 5 feet 8 inches tall, slender with
dark hair and no facial hair.
He was seen by a witness on the street
near the residence carrying an acoustic
guitar and entering a black vehicle,
according to the Sheriff’s Office.
While not identical, this burglary is
similar to several other burglaries that
have recently occurred on the coast in
which the burglar entered the residence
through unlocked rear doors and win-

Walgreens robbed at gunpoint
A man robbed a Walgreens in San
Carlos at gunpoint Sunday night and
remains at large, according to the San
Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.
The man, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and
dressed in a black baseball hat, a black
jacket, blue jeans and white tennis shoes,
entered the store, located at 1414 El
Camino Real, at about 6:20 p.m. with a
semi-automatic handgun, according to
the Sheriff’s Office.
Witnesses described the suspect as
being Hispanic, according to the
Sheriff’s Office.
He escaped with an unknown amount
of money.
The suspect targeted the manager, tak-
ing him to the back of the store and forc-
ing him to unlock the safe. The manager
did as he was told and the suspect emp-
tied the contents of the safe into a black
duffel bag, according to the Sheriff’s
Office.
Police said the gunman told the man-
ager not to call the police and left the
back of the store. The manager called
911 immediately and police arrived
shortly after 6:20 p.m., according to the
Sheriff’s Office.
Residents with any information about

Arizona murderer, who inspires?
Editor,
An Arizona congresswoman was
gravely wounded and at least six killed
as a gunman assaulted them. Now
whether this was a crazed lunatic or
someone motivated by divisive political
rhetoric (as the media spins this)
remains to be seen. But if this atrocity
was inspired by “divisive political rhet-
oric,” we know this divisive rhetoric
comes from politicians of both
Democrats and Republican parties,
from spokesmen of both the left and
the right. However, is it not sad when
this rhetoric comes from our president,
the elected leader of all Americans,
who tells Republicans “to get on the
back of the bus?”

A matter of priorities
Editor,
The horrific shooting in Tucson
killed a judge, several civilians and
severely wounded a congresswoman.
The perpetrator is in custody. In
response to this tragedy President
Obama sent the FBI Director Robert
Mueller to the scene and phoned
Arizona Gov. Janet Brewer. He offered
full support from the federal govern-
ment.
How does this work? When a con-
gresswoman and a judge are shot with
the perpetrator in custody he sends the
FBI. When innocent civilians, border
patrol personnel and sheriffs are killed
he sends Janet Napolitano to put up
signs. We may not know who is impor-
tant, but we certainly know who isn’t.

Domestic terrorism
Editor,
While peace activists, whose only
motives are trying to prevent violence,
are being detained by the FBI, domestic
terrorists who spew their venom across
our airwaves are free. O’Reilly, Hannity,
Beck, Palin and Limbaugh incite vio-
lence, yet nothing happens. This is not
free speech. One cannot yell “fire” in a
crowded theater nor can one yell “bomb”
in an airport. Since these domestic ter-
rorists, like O’Reilly and his ilk, invoke
violence, they must be brought to justice
for hate crimes and terrorism.
Robert Mueller, the head of the FBI, is
practicing selective prosecution by going
after people whose only motive is to stop
unnecessary violence and killing, but he
turns a blind eye to those provoking vio-
lence and hate in our nation through the
use of the public airwaves.

Lethal alternatives
Editor,

shot a person in possession of a knife.

shot with a bean-bag gun, and then a
service weapon. The individual was in a
wheelchair.
I’m not going to second guess the offi-
cers’ decision to use deadly force when a
knife is present. To enter such an uncon-
trolled situation is frightening, regardless
of prior training and experiences you
have had.
Police face this type of situation every
day, and I have the highest respect for
them, their oath to serve and protect and
their right to return safely to their homes
and families after each shift.

Finger pointing
in Tucson tragedy
M
aybe Jared Loughner isn’t that important.
Certainly what he did at a Tucson grocery store
is important, stealing six lives and tearing apart
several more. He is forever a footnote in history, a reason
why daddy and grandpa and daughter and sister and friend
are no longer around. A reason why a nation takes a
moment of silence to mourn those slain and wish well for
those injured, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-
Ariz. A reason why politicians on all levels might be
expected to trim the list of coffee talks and sidewalk hours,
to keep an even wider berth from constituents looking to be
heard. Also, a reason why now
fingers are pointing and blame
is being laid by those who
believe his rampage must be,
at least in part, encouraged by
rancorous politics.
In the days and hours since
his bullets ripped through
Giffords’ Congressional meet-
and-greet, the blame game has
begun in earnest with calls for
less vitriol in political dis-
course and public musing
about connections to the Tea
Party, a Sarah Palin website
which appears to have
crosshairs over targeted districts, the Birthers, the opinion-
ated broadcasters, the ranters, the ravers.
A classmate called him a left-leaning pothead. Others
looked for meaning in a favorite book list that includes The
Communist Manifesto and Mein Kempf.
We don’t yet know who Jared Loughner is, really, so we
cannot yet know if he was pushed by movements, by calls
for blood and bullets during hyperbolic campaigning, by
immigration, by health care, by anything other than para-
noia, mental illness, a lasting grudge against Gifford and
the need to make himself known as someone beyond the
weirdo in the back of the community college classroom.
Calling for peace and civility in politics is well-inten-
tioned and long-overdue. But doing so as a direct reaction
to Loughner’s cowardly and likely delusional actions gives
him more importance than he deserves or that appears to be
warranted by motivation.
This is not Ted Kaczynski with a manifesto spelling out
his grievances and who must pay. This is not Scott Roeder,
a well-known soldier for the anti-abortion movement when
he gunned down Dr. George Tiller at church. This is not
Nidal Malik Hasan, the troubled psychiatrist who expressed
extremist views before killing 13 at Fort Hood.
All the public has right now on Loughner is some online
ranting and a lot of speculation.
In the face of horror, looking for answers makes sense
and often that search involves finger pointing. If we know
why, we think we can prevent future terrors. If we can
blame, we can channel our anger and outreach toward a
person or a group, which is more palatable than never
knowing.
Maybe Loughner did have an agenda beyond personal
vengeance; perhaps, mental illness aside, opinionated
media and extremist political rallying cries pushed an
already damaged psyche to a precipice of no return. Or not.
Maybe the only difference between he and the shooter of
two at a Nebraska school just days before is the title and
ranking of those he killed. Everybody who is murdered in
such a needless fashion in any rampage is important and
noteworthy but frankly their names do not roll quickly off
the tongue. Even the death of 9-year-old Christina Taylor
Green, heart wrenching as it is, is elevated by association
with Giffords and federal judge John Roll.
Because of who he targeted, we want Loughner to have a
reason beyond just plain crazy. But not every political tar-
get is marked because of their platform. Just ask John
Hinckley Jr.
Regardless, the partisanship discussions spurred by
Saturday’s shooting are valid and should not dissipate in
the wind like they did after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11,
2001 and Oklahoma City. The debate over gun control is
similarly worthwhile and should be had whether or not
Loughner is an example of holes in the system.
These conversations are important.
The victims of Saturday are important.
What leaders and the public do in the aftermath is impor-
tant.
But Loughner? Until proven otherwise, he is just a nutjob
with a gun who has brought disgrace on himself. No group
deserves that kind of affiliation.
He is not that important.

NEW YORK — Stocks indexes were
mostly lower on Monday, with telecom-
munication companies leading the way
down.
AT&T Inc. fell the most out of the 30
stocks that make up the Dow Jones
industrial average. Its competitor,
Verizon Wireless, is expected to
announce Tuesday that it will start sell-
ing Apple Inc.’s iPhone, breaking
AT&T’s long hold on iPhone customers.
AT&T’s stock dropped 1.8 percent to
$28.34. Apple gained 1.8 percent to
$342.45.
Stocks spent most of the day lower
ahead of the latest round of corporate
earnings reports. After the market
closed, Alcoa Inc. reported that rising
sales of aluminum products helped it
turn a profit of 24 cents a share in its
fourth quarter. The results topped ana-
lysts’ estimates of 18 cents a share.
The week started with news of two big
corporate deals. DuPont, a major chemi-
cal company, said it would buy a Danish

Verison’s iPhone gains not clearcut

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Verizon Wireless
would seem to be a big winner after its
expected announcement Tuesday that it
will start selling the iPhone and break
Apple Inc.’s monogamous relationship
with AT&T Inc. in the U.S.
But for several reasons, the iPhone’s
arrival to Verizon would be poorly
timed, and Verizon’s gains won’t be as
clearcut.
There’s no doubt a Verizon iPhone
would attract millions of buyers, and it
would give the country’s largest wireless
carrier a chance to catch up with AT&T
in attracting high-paying smart-phone
customers.

Intel to pay $1.5B to Nvidia in patent settlement
By Jordan Robertson

SAN FRANCISCO — Intel Corp. is
paying $1.5 billion to end a fight it start-

The legal battle centered Nvidia’s
ability to make “chipsets” that are com-
patible with Intel’s latest processors — a
fight that has implications for many of
the world’s computer users, since Intel
and Nvidia’s chips are ubiquitous.
Nvidia is a top maker of graphics
chips. Intel is the leader in microproces-

SAN FRANCISCO — Del Monte

Losses were spread across the market.
Five of the 10 industry groups that make
up the S&P 500 index fell.
Telecommunications companies fell the
most, 1 percent, followed by utilities and
energy. 3M Co. led the 30 stocks that

Rumors about a Verizon iPhone have
swirled for years and have risen in recent
months. The Wall Street Journal has
reported that an event Verizon is holding
Tuesday is to announce a deal with
Apple to start selling iPhones at the end
of the month.
Verizon, Apple and AT&T wouldn’t
confirm that.
Analysts estimate Verizon iPhone
sales this year would range from 5 mil-
lion to 13 million, some coming from
what AT&T would have sold. The
iPhone is big business for AT&T: The
carrier activated 11.1 million iPhones in

Both sides had a lot at stake. Intel

Italy, Spain and Portugal are each

more iPhones in the U.S. than AT&T this
year, given pent-up demand from cus-
tomers not wanting to switch to AT&T.
Yet several factors may give prospec-
tive Verizon iPhone buyers pause.
The first Verizon iPhone would likely
only work on the older, “3G” network.
That network has wide coverage, excel-
lent reliability and less congestion than
AT&T’s, but data speeds are much slow-
er than new “4G” networks both AT&T
and Verizon are building. You also can’t
talk and surf at the same time with
Verizon 3G phones.
Also, Apple has been launching a new
iPhone model every summer, and pre-
sumably an iPhone 5 is coming. But
Verizon may have to wait until next
January to get it, giving AT&T a head
start. That’s because Verizon may be on
the same one-year upgrade cycle that
AT&T has been on.

dead. Indeed, Nvidia announced in
October 2009 that it was exiting the
chipset business.
Intel will pay Nvidia $1.5 billion in
licensing fees over the next 5 years as
part of the deal announced Monday.
The reason Intel finds itself in the
unlikely position of paying Nvidia is that
Intel gets a license to Nvidia’s entire
patent library out of the deal, while
Nvidia gets a license to some of Intel’s
patents, but not those covering Intel’s
primary products — particularly micro-
processors and chipsets based on the so-

Banged up Turtletaub tearing it up
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When asked to name one thing she enjoys
more than scoring goals on the soccer field,
San Mateo scoring machine Katelyn
Turtletaub flashed a golden smile. After think-
ing it over for a bit, stumped, the senior
replied, “I don’t know. I can’t think of any-
thing.”
The difficulty with what seems like a simple
question is understandable when you score as
often as Turtletaub has in the 2010-2011 sea-
son — through seven games the San Mateo
Tigers ground Ducks
By Eddie Pells
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Auburn running
back Michael Dyer never heard any whistle,
so he just kept running — past the tackler who
thought he had him down and deep into
Oregon territory.
Dyer broke stride, then took off on a once-
in-a-lifetime run in the final minutes, setting
up a field goal on the last play that led No. 1
Auburn over the No. 2 Ducks 22-19 in the
BCS championship game Monday night.
The freshman running back upstaged
Auburn’s Heisman-winning quarterback Cam
Newton with a 37-yard run, in which he
appeared down but wasn’t — his knee never
hit the ground — as he rolled over Oregon
defender Eddie Pleasant to put the Tigers in
scoring position.
Three plays later, Dyer ran 16 yards to push
the ball to the 1 and set up Wes Byrum’s 19-
yard field goal with no time left. It was his
sixth career game-winning field goal — the
one that capped off a perfect, 14-0 season,
brought the title back to Auburn for the first
time since 1957 and left the Southeastern
Conference on top for the fifth straight year.
“Fifty-three years, baby,” coach Gene
Chizik said to the cheering crowd. “This is for
you. War Eagle!”
A classic sequence to close out a wild finish
— five crazy minutes of football that made up
for the first 55, which were more of a bruising
battle than the offensive masterpiece everyone
had predicted.
The craziness began when Casey Matthews,
son of the former NFL linebacker Clay,
knocked the ball from Newton’s hands while
he was trying to ice a 19-11 lead.
Oregon’s offense, shut down by Nick
Fairley and Company for most of the night,
moved 45 yards over the next 2:17 and Darron
Thomas threw a shovel pass to LaMichael
James for a touchdown. Thomas hit Jeff
Maehl for the tying 2-point conversion with
2:33 left and the game was down to one pos-
session.

And that possession will be remembered for

Dyer took the handoff from Newton and ran

yard gain. Nothing routine about this one,
though. He never heard a whistle, wasn’t sure
his knee hit the ground, so he popped up and
kept going. Almost everyone on the field had
stopped playing, but the referee never blew
the play dead. Dyer made it to the Oregon 23.
An official’s review ensued and the replay
showed that, indeed, his knee had never
touched the turf.
“I was going out there, trying to make a
play. I just kept my feet moving,” he said.

Gone were the several easy wins the top
teams always had against those on the bottom,
replaced by mostly competitive games night in

17 teams qualify for the Central Coast Section

Turtletaub has been on this torrid goal-scor-
ing pace without the aid of healthy legs. The
hobbling around the soccer pitch is noticeable,
and at times, Turtletaub has no choice but to
take herself out of the game to give her ailing
limbs a break.
“I have bad knees in general,” Turtletaub
said, referring to a laundry list of injuries that
have nagged her throughout her playing career.
She went into this season handicapped by an
ankle she injured while playing volleyball in
the fall. She tweaked her shoulder in the game

Turning
it around
A
fter a half-decade of being one of
the premiere programs in the
Peninsula Athletic League, the
Woodside boys’ basketball team took a
brief dip the last few years as the program
went through a coaching change.
But the Wildcats are re-emerging as a
team with which to contend following a 10-
4 start to the 2009-10 season.
Using a pressing, trapping defense, the
Wildcats can make its opponents miserable
trying to bring the ball up the court.
Fourth-year coach
Mike Reynoso will
trap an opponent any-
where — from base-
line to baseline and
everywhere between.
If the Wildcats are
not forcing an oppo-
nent into a poor deci-
sion, they’ll get in the
passing lanes and
knock balls away.
That defense trig-
gers their offense,
which leads to a lot
of uncontested layups. It’s instant offense
when the Wildcats are at their zenith, and
one could get whiplash tying to keep up
with their frenetic pace. It can also lead
opponents stunned and staggered, gasping
for air and grasping for answers.
Reynoso has quickly righted a Woodside
ship that was listing when he took over the
program for the 2007-08 season. From
2000 to 2005, the Wildcats went to the
Central Coast Section championship game
twice and made advanced to the semifinals
on two other occasions.
Then came the lull. The Wildcats fol-
lowed up their 48-45 loss to Serra in the
2005 CCS championship game with three
straight losing seasons. Following 2006’s 5-
17 mark, then-coach Darrell Barbour left
Woodside to take over the Sacred Heart
Cathedral program in San Francisco.

Terra Nova is clearly the team to beat this sea-

Road not always so daunting in NFL playoffs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
This road thing seems to agree with wild-card
teams. Now, can the Ravens, Jets and Packers
keep it going next weekend?
Three wins by the visitors to open the playoffs
should not have been a surprise this year. Since
the 2004 season, it’s happened three times. In the
AFC, the home team was beaten in both wild-
card games last year and this year, with the Jets
getting two of those victories.

ing where you play them,” Jets running back

Bay Division
Terra Nova is the defending Bay Division and
PAL tournament champion. The Tigers are
extremely young — they have only one senior on
their roster — but return two of arguably the best
players in the league in junior point guard Terilyn
Moe and junior shooting guard Ivonne Cook
Taylor. While both are listed as guards, they both
do everything for the Tigers. Moe is averaging
over 21 points per game, nearly six assists, almost
five rebounds and just under four steals. Taylor
Cook is averaging a double-double in points and
rebounds with 14 points and almost 14 rebounds
per game.
The Tigers played what could be the toughest
non-league schedule of anyone on the Peninsula,
which should have them well prepared for the Bay
Division.
Look for Mills to provide the stiffest competi-
tion to Terra Nova. While the Vikings have built
SPORTS
team has won at least one wild-card game in all
but three years since the NFL went to a six-team
format in 1990. Overall, visitors are 12-30 in the
AFC, but since 1996 they are 12-18. And since
2003 they are 8-6.
In the NFC, visitors are 17-25, including 7-7
since 2004.
Now, though, it gets more difficult — much
tougher for NFC teams, where home-field advan-
tage has held for two decades in the divisional
round. Hosts are 33-7 in that span, though the
Packers and Seahawks can take heart from two
years ago, when the Eagles and Cardinals both
made the title game by winning on the road.
Green Bay is at top-seeded Atlanta on Saturday
their reputation as run-and-gun team — led by
sophomore guard Kristen Lastofka — they defi-
nitely have an inside game in Lexi Chierici.
San Mateo could make a move behind the long-
range shooting of Grayce Ujihara, who wraps up
her four-year varsity career this season. She’ll have
plenty of support in guard Alana Simon, along
with post player Melasani Hafoka, who can be
unstoppable at times.
Aragon, Burlingame and Menlo-Atherton have
all struggled in non-league action this season,
combining for a 7-22 mark.
Ocean Division
This should be the most competitive of the three
PAL’s division, with five of the six teams having a
legitimate shot at claiming the title.
Westmoor has to be considered the favorite to
repeat as division champion and, with three play-
ers averaging double figures in scoring, the Rams
could be tough to beat. Erin Joo, Marinel
Alcantara and Kathleen Ocampo are all averaging
about 12 points per game. They are also the team’s
three leading rebounders.
Carlmont should also be right there in the mix.
The Scots have transformed from a team that likes
to pound the ball inside to one that concentrates on
night, and Seattle visits No. 2 Chicago on Sunday.
“This is the way it’s going to be,” Packers
coach Mike McCarthy said. “We’re on the road.
You play uphill when you get off the bus. You
have to overcome the atmosphere that you’re
playing in, particularly the communication chal-
lenge.”
The AFC numbers are a bit more encouraging
for visitors: 14-26 since ’90, including 6-4 in the
last five years.
Also, for the first time since the league went to
32 teams in 2002, both divisional-round games in
a conference are, well, divisional games:
Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh (AFC North) and New
England vs. the Jets (AFC East).

Half Moon Bay and South City could sneak into
the top spot if Westmoor and Carlmont sleep on
them. The Cougars lost only four seniors from last
year’s squad that went 4-6 in league play, but fin-
ished with an overall 16-13 mark. Point guard
Diana Cariaga returns for her senior year and is the
engine that drives the Cougars.
Oceana, which won the Lake Division title last
year, takes a presumed step up in competition, but
the Sharks have already been beaten Jefferson,
Hillsdale, Menlo School and Terra Nova. A tough
schedule, to be sure.
El Camino is just happy to have a change of
scenery after posting a winless non-league mark.
Lake Division
Just by virtue of its record, Hillsdale appears to
be the team to beat. Junior point guard Jenna Yee
is one of the best in the PAL with her ability to
drive the lane, drain the 3-pointer and get the rest
of her teammates involved. What the Knights may
lack is shot quality, they make up for with quanti-
ty. They put up a lot of shots and don’t get dis-
couraged when they don’t go in.
Yee is complemented by junior shooting guards
MaryKathryn Souther and Ashley Izumi.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
“That’s poetic justice,” Ravens coach John
Harbaugh said. “That’s the way it should be.”
So what do the visitors need to accomplish to
keep enjoying the road?
For the Ravens and Seahawks, that’s pretty
simple: repeat what they did during the regular
season. Baltimore won at Pittsburgh 17-14 on
Oct. 3, the last game of Ben Roethlisberger’s
four-game suspension. Seattle came out of
Soldier Field on Oct. 17 with a 23-20 victory.
The Steelers got back at the Ravens in
Baltimore on Dec. 5 with a 13-10 win in a defen-
sive classic decided on Steelers safety Troy
Polamalu’s star turn: a forced fumble that led to
the winning TD.
Jefferson should give the Knights a run for their
money. The Indians come into the league opener
with a 9-5 non-league mark and are led by a tri-
umvirate of players: Sammie Martinez (13.9
points per game), Janie San Juan (10.5 points, 7.4
rebounds) and do-everything Taylor Collins (13.2
points, 6.8 assists, 4.3 steals and 2.9 rebounds).
Sequoia and Woodside should be considered
dark horse contenders. Both teams have the pieces
to do well, it’s all about putting everything togeth-
er.
On paper, Sequoia appears to have it all: strong
point-guard play in Alaina Woo, a big inside pres-
ence in Gianelly Prieto and the strength of forward
Bulou Mataitoga. Woodside appears to be mainly
a two-man show between Stephanie Verdiano and
Taylor Collins. Expect Verdiano to one of the top
scorers in the entire PAL this season. She averaged
19 points and 5.3 rebounds per game during the
preseason, and has eclipsed the 20-point mark four
times, including a season-high 31 against Menlo
last week. Collins averaged 8.8 points per game,
but is pulling down over 12 rebounds a game.
Rounding out the Lake Division is Capuchino,
which is having another tough season. The
Mustangs have only one win going into PAL play.

“He was looking forward to retiring
here, whenever he’s done,” Anthony
said. “To see him and all this stuff
that’s going on right now, I feel bad
about it. I guess that’s the business of
basketball.”
Billups didn’t practice Monday; the
team said he wasn’t feeling well.
Despite Anthony’s skepticism, talks
on the three-team trade with the
Nuggets and Pistons continued
Monday, a person with knowledge of
the discussions told The Associated
Press.
The reported deal would reunite
Billups and Richard Hamilton in New
Jersey along with Anthony, the person
said on condition of anonymity
because he wasn’t authorized to pub-
licly discuss the talks.
New Jersey would send rookie
power forward Derrick Favors, point
guard Devin Harris and others to
Denver in the deal that would get them

Williams and Terrico White, who is
injured.

The nucleus of Billups, Hamilton

Detroit had the Pistons selected
Anthony with the No. 2 draft pick in
2003. Instead, Pistons president Joe
Dumars picked Darko Milicic, who
never panned out, and the Nuggets
grabbed Anthony at No. 3.
“Joe Dumars messed that up, man,”
Anthony cracked.
Even with the rumors that his depar-
ture from Denver is fast approaching,
Anthony was in a jovial mood at prac-
tice following one of the worst per-
formances of his career.
He scored just eight points in a 96-
87 loss to New Orleans on Sunday
night, and the star who has led Denver
to the playoffs in each of his first seven
seasons drew boos like never before
from the crowd at the Pepsi Center.
Anthony insisted he didn’t dog it
and that the trade speculation had
nothing to do with his poor perform-
ance.
“I don’t think anybody should ques-
tion what I do out there on the court.
Not every night is a great night. But I
still go out there and do what I do,”
Anthony said. “I’ve been here eight
years, been doing the same thing year
in and year out, playing hard and win-

Nuggets. For anybody to question
that, somebody should question

ZURICH — Lionel Messi won his
second straight FIFA player of the year
award Monday, becoming the first
repeat winner since Ronaldinho in
2004 and 2005.
The Argentine forward beat out
Barcelona team-
mates Xavi
Hernandez and
Andres Iniesta for
the renamed FIFA
Golden Ball
Award, which
merged the FIFA
player of the year
with France
Lionel Messi Football’s Golden
Ball.
Messi received 22.65 percent of the
votes cast by national team coaches and
captains plus selected reported. Iniesta
followed with 17.36 percent and Xavi
received 16.48 per cent to finish third
for the second straight year. All three
finalists were part of Barcelona’s La
Masia youth academy.
Eight of the 20 winners of the FIFA
award have come from Barcelona,
which also won with Brazilians
Romario (1994), Ronaldo (1996 and
1997), Rivaldo (1999) and Ronaldinho.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Stanford
fullback-linebacker Owen Marecic
won the inaugural Paul Hornung
Award on Monday.
The award given out by the
Louisville Sports Commission hon-
ors the most versatile player in col-
lege football.
Marecic won over Kentucky wide
receiver-kick returner Randall Cobb
and TCU wide receiver-kick returner
Jeremy Kerley.
Marecic and Stanford capped a 12-
1 season with a 40-12 Orange Bowl
victory over Virginia Tech last
Monday night in Miami.
“It’s a special year, a real special
group of guys,” Marecic said on a

title. The Blaugrana lead the Spanish
standings again this season.
“It’s a very special day for me,”
Messi said through a translator.
The 23-year-old forward scored 58
goals for the Catalan club in 2010 but
had a disappointing World Cup, where
he failed to score for Argentina. Iniesta
and Xavi helped Spain win its first
World Cup title, with Iniesta scoring the
overtime goal in the 1-0 win over the
Netherlands in the final.
“I didn’t expect to win it today,”
Messi said. “Already it’s a source of
happiness to be here with my friends
and even more to win it.”
Jose Mourinho was voted FIFA
men’s coach of the year after leading
Inter Milan to the European
Champions League, Serie A and Italian
Cup titles.
Mourinho, the self-dubbed “Special
One,” beat Spain coach Vicente del
Bosque and Barcelona coach Pep
Guardiola in the inaugural prize. The
Portuguese coach left Inter after the
2009-10 season to become coach of
Real Madrid.
Brazilian forward Marta won the
FIFA women’s player of the year award

born Lira Bajramaj. Marta was reward-
ed for her MVP season with the Gold
Pride of the Women’s Professional
Soccer league in the United States.
conference call. “For myself, I just
played a small role in the whole
process all year.”
Marecic carried 23 times for 46
yards and five touchdowns and
caught nine passes for 75 yards. He
was the fifth leading tackler with 51
stops, and had two sacks and two
interceptions for the Cardinal (12-1).
A 16-member selection committee
comprised of sports journalists and
former NFL stars voted for the
award.
The award is named for 1956
Heisman Trophy winner and
Louisville native Paul Hornung.
“I watched the game with a great
deal of interest. You guys played well
and you had a sensational game,”
Hornung said.

It’s scary to think what Turtletaub is capable
of if she were at 100 percent.
“This year it’s a combination of things, but
it’s not bad enough to where I can’t play. I pre-
fer to be on the field if I can,” she said.
Despite nagging ACL, MCL, shoulder and
ankle injuries, the senior hasn’t lost a step or her
scoring touch. And while she has about the
same amount of goals at this time last season,
consider that she’s doing it in 2011 against the
cream of the PAL crop — the PAL’s Bay
Division.
“It’s different this year,” Turtletaub said. “Last
year we would score a lot of goals and basical-
ly have to play possession the rest of the game.
This year, the games are more competitive.”
Along with her goal scoring, Turtbletaub has
embraced the role of leader on her Bearcats
team.
“The difference has been mostly experience,”
Turtletaub said when asked why her 2011 squad
is experiencing early success. “Last year, we
had 13 sophomores on the team and being in
the lower division, it gave us a chance to devel-
op. We’ve played great together this year (and)
we have great chemistry. We know it’s going to
be a battle. There are a lot of great teams in the
division.”
Turtletaub knows that in order to have that
success, she’ll have to get healthy and continue
to do what she does best.

A slew of injuries hasn’t curbed Katelyn
Turtletaub’s goal-scoring prowess. The San
Mateo senior has scored 11 times this season,
including four times in two games last week.
“I’ve always been a scorer,” Turtletaub said.
“I’ve been playing soccer since I was five years
old and forward has always been my position. I
don’t know what it is, but my specialty has
always been scoring.”
Her knack for finding the net is something
that has never been in question.

Reynoso, a month after graduating San
Diego State, was named the Wildcats’ new
coach at the ripe old age of 23.
Four years later, Reynoso and the Wildcats
are on the cusp of relevancy again.
There were some growing pains. His first
years saw Woodside go a combined 20-28,
with two fourth-place finishes in PAL play
and no postseason appearances.
Last season, the Wildcats turned the corner,
posting a 15-13 mark, along with a 5-5 record
in the PAL’s Ocean Division and a first-round
win in CCS.
This year, the Wildcats are off to a quick
start and should be brimming with confidence
heading into the league opener Wednesday. It
appears they have the pieces to make a run at
a Bay Division title. They have strong point
guard play in sophomore Ryan Blocker, while
wing player Ricki Hoffer will have the ball in
his hands a lot. Sam Kelley is your prototypi-
cal slasher who is equally adept at beating
opponents from the outside or inside. Matt
Ennis complements Kelley while 6-foot-5
Trevor Cziska gives the Wildcats a presence
inside the paint.

The Hillsdale girls’ basketball team is just
the latest Knights program to experience a
renaissance following years of drought.
With an 11-3 non-league mark, the Knights
THE DAILY JOURNAL
have already assured themselves of a CCS
berth, their first since now San Mateo coach
Nancy Dinges led the Knights to the second
round following the 2000-01 season.
Teams need to have a .500 record or above
in either league or non-league play to qualify
for CCS.
The girls’ basketball breakthrough comes
on the heels of the 2009 football team quali-
fying for CCS for the first time in 20 years
and the 2010 baseball team that advanced to
its first CCS championship game.
More important than qualifying for the
playoffs, however, is the fact the Knights
beat rival Aragon for the first time since —
well, since the Sports Lounge has been on
the scene, dating to the 2001-02 season.
Hillsdale got its usual contributions from
point guard Jenna Lee and shooting guard
MaryKathryn Souther, who combined for 25
points, but they were trumped by the per-
formance of sophomore guard Ashly Izumi,
who poured in 18 points.
After opening an 18-10 lead after the first
quarter, the Knights matched Aragon’s scor-
ing in quarters two and three, taking that
same eight-point lead in the final eight min-
utes.
Aragon outscored Hillsdale by only four
points in the final period to give the Knights
their biggest coup of the season thus far.

Guide to weight loss success
By Katrina Bertol
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
There are diet fads, diet pills, products and
strict protocols that will help you lose weight
quickly — and then gain it back twice as fast.
We develop relationships with food over the
course of our lives, and many turn into addic-
tions and routines. What we eat, when we eat,
how much we eat, how we eat and why we eat
are really the magical missing pieces of the
weight-loss puzzle. If we’re not aware of
these questions and answers, then no diet,
weight loss routine or supplement will ever
work.
TIPS TO BOOST YOUR SUCCESS
1. Set and Record a Realistic Goal
Whether you want to reduce bloating, lose
five pounds, 10 pounds, or much more, you
first need to set a goal and write it down.
Without concrete goals, it’s difficult to suc-
ceed. If you want to lose five pounds, write it
down. When do you want to lose this weight
by? Jot that down, as well. Be realistic. One
pound of fat is 3,500 calories, which means if
you cut 500 calories each day (by exercising
and watching your portion sizes), you can eas-
ily lose 1 pound per week.
2. Buy Yourself A Journal
Buy a small pocket-sized notebook that
looks nice, so you’ll actually want to carry it
around and write in it. Use this to record
everything you eat every day for two weeks. I
guarantee you’ll eat less and make better food
choices. There’s something sobering about
seeing your daily food intake recorded on
paper. You’ll think twice about how much and
HEALTH
To begin your diet program, use a journal to record everything you eat every day for two
weeks.
what you eat, so you can honestly record a
healthy food day.
3. Stop Putting Limitations On Yourself
We all generate some absurd statements
about what we can and cannot do, such as:
“I’m not a runner,” “I need sugar and coffee to
survive,” “My body just doesn’t want to
change” and “I can’t, I’m not, I shouldn’t.” If
you identify yourself with such limitations,
you’ll maintain the same patterns and weight
loss (or any personal growth) will be hard to
achieve. Ask yourself what you’ve been
avoiding and why, then challenge yourself to
destroy those negative self-limitations.
4. Never Stuff Yourself
It’s interesting that over thousands of years,
we’ve stuck with the idea of eating until we’re
full. Studies show that eating until you are 80
percent full leads to lifelong weight control,
better health status, more energy and can actu-
ally add years to your life.
5. Get Moving
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Lift weights, join a sports team, try out dif-
ferent fitness classes, dance, get up from your
desk and stretch those poor stiff muscles. Our
bodies are meant to move, and not just from
the car to the office with the occasional lap
around the grocery store.
If you’re stuck with your present fitness
routine (or are just completely unmotivated),
hire a certified personal trainer to help get you
started or attend a fitness class at a local gym.
One of the easiest ways to drop a couple of
pounds is to go for a brisk 20-minute walk
before or after dinner to help digestion and to
increase metabolism.
6. Control Portion Sizes
Our eyes are usually much hungrier than
our stomachs. Try using a small plate instead
of a regular dinner plate. When you have a
large plate and put a small amount of food on
it, your eyes and your brain tell you you’re
getting ripped off. If you have a nice full small
plate of food, your eyes will be satisfied, your
brain at peace and you’ll keep those extra
pounds off your waistline.
7. Eat Slowly and Calmly
If you eat on the run, while stressed out or
upset, digestion will be compromised; gastric
juices will not have time to be secreted prop-
erly and your intestines will be contracted,
leading to indigestion. Digestion starts in the
mouth with the salivary glands producing
amylase to start the breakdown of food. The
more you chew (try at least 20 chews per
mouthful) the less work for your stomach and
intestines. This translates into more energy to
break down fat, not food particles. The slow-
er you eat, the less you’ll eat in one sitting.

Study: Spacing babies close may raise autism risk
By Carla K. Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Close birth spac-
ing may put a second-born child at
higher risk for autism, suggests a
preliminary study based on more
than a half-million California chil-
dren.
Children born less than two years
after their siblings were consider-
ably more likely to have an autism
diagnosis compared to those born
after at least three years.
The sooner the second child was
conceived the greater the likelihood
of that child later being diagnosed
with autism. The effect was found
for parents of all ages, decreasing
the chance that it was older parents
and not the birth spacing behind the
higher risk.
“That was pretty shocking to us,
to be honest,” said senior author
Peter Bearman of Columbia
University in New York. The
researchers took into account other
risk factors for autism and still saw
the effect of birth spacing.
“No matter
what we did,
whether we
were looking at
autism severity,
looking at age, or
looking at all the
various dimensions
we could think of, we
couldn’t get rid of this
finding,” Bearman
said. Still, he said more
studies are needed to
confirm the birth spacing
link.
Closely spaced births are
increasing in the United States
because women are delaying child-
birth and because of unplanned
pregnancies. Government data show
the number of closely spaced births
— where babies are less than two
years apart — is rising, from 11
percent of all births in 1995 to 18
percent in 2002.
The study, appearing Monday in
the journal Pediatrics, comes just
days after a new report further tar-
nished a British researcher’s 1998
paper linking vaccines to autism,
this time calling the paper a fraud
based on altered facts.
Bearman contrasted the new
research to what he called the
“junk science” behind the notion
that vaccines cause autism.
“One of the things that leads
people to think that junk science
is science is the idea that science
solves all problems with a single
bullet,” Bearman said. Instead, “sci-
ence is very slow and proceeds in
steps.”
Reasons behind the birth spacing-
autism link aren’t clear. It could be

notice developmental

lings are very close in age, Bearman
said. When 2-year-old Billy isn’t

parents might be more likely to seek

Or biological factors could be at
play, he said. Pregnancy depletes a
mother’s nutrients like folate, a B
vitamin found in leafy green vegeta-
bles, citrus fruit and dried beans.

actually a joint approach with the city of San
Mateo. The two entities decided one would
approach San Carlos and the other Belmont
about partnering following the October disso-
lution of the Belmont-San Carlos Fire
Department. The pair foresee the two then
joining up with other cities like Foster City at
a later point for a regional fire and emergency
services department.
The other response is not yet a full propos-
al but a sign of interest by San Mateo County
which contracts with Cal Fire. The Board of
Supervisors’ subcommittee on finance will
discuss the possibility at its meeting next
week before formally submitting anything.
The idea is notable because in November the
city lashed out at local elected officials for
interfering after Cal Fire sent San Carlos a let-
ter indicating it would not submit a proposal.
Vice Mayor Andy Klein, who sits on the fire
HEALTH
By Alicia Chang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Rodney Sokoloski used
to get up before dawn three times a week and
drive two hours from his high desert home to
the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance to get
hooked up to a dialysis machine.
The blood-cleansing treatment was time-
consuming and often left him feeling drained
even before his workday began.
Not anymore. After four months of shuttling
back-and-forth, the 61-year-old last year
switched to doing dialysis at home every night
while he sleeps. He starts it after dinner, wheel-
ing the dialysis machine — the size of a carry-
on suitcase — into the living room where he
can watch TV or chat with his wife.
“It makes you feel like you’re in control
of your life,” said Sokoloski, whose combi-
nation of diabetes and high blood pressure
board, called both proposals “a good step” but
expects lots of tweaking before the City
Council formally considers either.
“What’s great is we now have options.
These bids give us the chance to have negoti-
ations and see what’s in our best interest,”
Klein said.
As with its police services, the city of San
Carlos wants to farm out fire to save money.
Some estimates suggest it could save approx-
imately $1 million a year.
The Redwood City three-year proposal is
$5.9 million annually and includes two fully-
staffed advanced life support companies and
reduced costs by cutting the fire chief, three
fire chiefs, the fire marshal, two fire inspectors
and administrative staff.
The contract would not cover fire station
upgrades, equipment replacement, transitions
costs or the hazmat unit.
The lack, particularly hazmat, means the
contract cost will hike and some other agency
might be asked to take that piece over, said
Councilman Matt Grocott who has long dis-
approved of disbanding the fire JPA.

8. Snack Consciously
Don’t get me wrong, snacking is
important when you are actually hungry
and choose wholesome foods in the right
portion sizes, and at the right times. But
how many of us eat while we’re in the
kitchen cooking? A little taste of this, a
bite of that, a piece of cheese to “tide
you over” and before you know it you
led to kidney disease.
Yet only about 8 percent of kidney patients
do dialysis at home. Many don’t know they
can. Others are afraid to try it. And a limited
number of places around the country offer
training and support for home dialysis.
New Medicare payment rules that just went
into effect could change that. The changes give
dialysis clinics more motivation to control
costs and raise the amount centers get to teach
do-it-yourself dialysis.
As for the patients, Dr. Leslie Spry of the
National Kidney Foundation says, once they
“experience the difference between home and
in-center dialysis most will not return to in-
center treatment.”
There are two types of dialysis that can be
done at home. The older and more widely used
method — peritoneal dialysis — uses the lin-
ing of the abdomen to clean out waste. Patients
pour a fluid into a tube in their belly and drain
Grocott likes the idea of a regional depart-
ment but still thinks Belmont and San Carlos
would have been a better partner together
instead of separately.
The more unexpected proposal may be that
by San Mateo County because it would
involve Cal Fire. In a Nov. 18 letter, Acting
Director Ken Pimlott cited “concern from
regional legislative members and significant
opposition from local labor organizations”
among the reasons why Cal Fire opted out of
participating.
Considering the history, Grocott said he just
doesn’t see the relationship happening.
“If they try and the state gets word of it,
some people could be upset,” Grocott said.
Firefighters union President Ed Hawkins
also called the proposal a bid by the city to
sneak a contract with the state.
Any agreement would be with the county
and city, cutting Cal Fire out of any decision
making, said Cal Fire spokeswoman Janet
Upton.
“So they would be the ones evaluating their
relationship and whether it would be mutually
beneficial,” Upton said.
have consumed an extra 400 calories
before your actual meal. If you are hun-
gry when preparing dinner, have a large
glass of water and cut up an apple or
veggies. Enjoy this small snack with
awareness while sitting down at the
table.
9. Think Twice Before Going Back
For Seconds
Before you reach for the second serv-
ing, wait 10 minutes. Ask yourself, “Am
I really still hungry, or do I just want to
satisfy my taste buds?” It takes about 10
minutes for the receptors of the brain to
realize that you are satisfied with what
THE DAILY JOURNAL
it out several times a day, or a machine handles
that while the patient rests — the approach
Sokoloski uses.
A second, newer method is home hemodial-
ysis. Blood is drawn through a tube from the
arm and pumped through a portable machine
where it is cleansed and returned to the body.
Patients do this four to seven days a week for
about 2 1/2 hours each time.
People who prefer home dialysis say it’s
more convenient, allowing them to set their own
schedules and even travel with their dialysis
machine. They also like the idea of cleansing
their blood of toxins more often because they
feel better and don’t need to take as many
drugs. Dialysis clinics used to bill Medicare
separately for costly medications such as the
anti-anemia drug Epogen and often made a
profit on it. Under the new payment system,
centers get a flat rate for dialysis treatments, and
certain lab tests and drugs including Epogen.
What exactly that agreement might be
remains to be seen. Klein is hearing it would
include a quick rescue truck which provides
medical care outside of the larger engine and
possibly an option for hazmat.
In a memo to the council, Assistant City
Manager Brian Moura anticipates the propos-
al included cost savings through a reduction in
the work schedule, shared staffing and salary
freezes.
The firefighters union is supporting the
Redwood City and San Mateo approach to a
regional department. While Belmont has
voiced a preference to stand alone and hazmat
is not included in the proposal, neither has to
be a deal breaker, Hawkins said.
Like the city, Hawkins said he and the union
arre waiting to see what the county puts
together.
He was disappointed not to see more pro-
posals because he feels “San Carlos is being
pushed into a corner.” He also believes the
majority of San Carlos officials are focused on
a state contract rather than keeping an open
mind to other options.
you’ve already consumed.
10. Don’t Eat Late At Night
Metabolism slows down in the
evening hours and your body needs
energy to detoxify and rejuvenate organ
system function during sleep. Try to fin-
ish your last meal before 8 p.m. or at
least three hours before bedtime. Eating
before bed will cause energy to be spent
on digestion and not on much-needed
detoxification. And instead of using
those calories for energy to move during
the day, your body will store them as
subcutaneous (surface) fat on your body.

maintain our broken, mismanaged state
government is unacceptable and defies
common sense.”
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, is ready to end the partisan bick-
ering in Sacramento that stalled the
approval of last year’s budget by more
than 100 days.
“Gov. Brown has proposed the first
honest budget in years. While it includes
painful cuts, the governor is committed to
fully funding K-12 education if voters
agree to maintain our current tax struc-
ture,” Hill said.
Both parties have a responsibility to
end their bickering and work with the
governor to help the state climb out of the
recession, Hill said.
Brown has been meeting with
Republican lawmakers since before he
took office and is hopeful both parties
will come together to find solutions to the
deficit, Brown adviser Steve Glazer told
the Daily Journal yesterday.
“We had a number of discussions with
Republicans leading up to the release of
the budget,” Glazer said.
Besides extending the taxes, Brown
proposes to cut $1.5 billion from welfare,
$1.7 billion from Medi-Cal, $1 billion
from state universities and $750 million
from services geared toward people with
developmental disabilities.
State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo, supports Brown’s
effort to extend the taxes but is not keen
on some of the other service reductions
proposed in the budget.
“Some of the cuts he is proposing are
hard for me to swallow. Especially to
health and human services and higher
education,” Yee said.
The governor also calls for reducing
salaries for state workers not covered by

collective bargaining agreements by 10
percent to achieve $308 million in sav-
ings.
He blames budget gimmicks and tricks
over the past 10 years for pushing
California deeper into debt, about $25 bil-
lion.
State Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto,
said Brown could have proposed a budg-
et with $25 billion in cuts rather than seek
the five-year tax extensions, cuts that
would be unprecedented in the state’s his-
tory.
If the tax extensions are not approved
by voters, the level of cuts to services
would be beyond the comprehension of
most Californians, Simitian said.
Simitian favors realigning government
back to local control so cities and coun-
ties can make their own decisions on what
services should be supported only if ded-
icated funding is in place.
“The state can’t simply expect local
governments to provide these services
without a funding mechanism,” he said.
Without voter approval of the tax
extensions, deeper cuts will come to edu-
cation, said freshman Assemblyman Rich
Gordon, D-Menlo Park.
“In a way, this is a day of reckoning,”
Gordon told the Daily Journal yesterday.
“The state carried on too long with over-
spending and borrowing. This budget
provides a framework to get the state
back in balance.”
Generally, the Assembly waits until the
governor releases a May revision of the
budget before negotiations begin in
earnest but Gordon, who sits on the
Budget Committee, said his committee
will start tackling the budget starting
Thursday.
Gordon expects Brown’s idea to dis-
mantle redevelopment agencies to be a
difficult one.
“This is the most serious element of his
proposal in terms of discussion,” Gordon
said.
The state took more than $2 billion
from RDAs last year and has also bor-
million over the last four years. Keeping
funding stable will not allow the district
to rebuild those losses. It will simply
maintain services at the current level.
Parungao did still have questions
about details. Also, the district is not in
the clear, he noted this year’s budget
includes $1.9 million in one-time feder-
al stimulus funds that will disappear next
year. Despite this, Parungao is hopeful.
“I’m really hopeful this is the begin-
ning of rebuilding our budget back
again,” said Parungao.
David Hutt, superintendent of the San
Bruno Park Elementary School District,
echoed those sentiments.
“I’m glad to hear that the governor
is advocating for the future of
California through his support of no
additional ‘cuts’ to K-12 education,”
benefits entirely to some recipients in the state’s in-home
supportive services program for the disabled,saving $486
million.
• Repeals many state mandates for local governments
and school districts not related to law enforcement or
property taxes,for a savings of $228 million.Brown wants
to review all reimbursable mandates with the Legislature,
which would have to approve any changes.
• Assumes $200 million in savings by reorganizing state
agencies and programs and reducing such items as
outside contracts and vehicle and cell phone use.
• Cuts pay by 10 percent for the six state employee
bargaining groups that are operating without a contract,
saving $308 million.
• Adds a lower-cost“core health plan”for state employees,
for a savings of $72 million.
• Cuts funding for county fairs,saving $32 million.
• Cuts $15 million in funding from the Department of
Food and Agriculture.
• Cuts $11 million from state parks that could lead to the
closure of some parks.
Prior to noon, one of the doctors
informed the court he had changed his
opinion, leading to Judge Jack
Grandsaert halting proceedings and ask-
ing for a third report to be returned Feb.
18, McDougall said.
At that point, McDougall will either
again seek a jury trial on competency or
move forward with a criminal trial.
Prosecutor Melissa McKowan said prior
to the competency trial she planned to
seek a quick criminal trial if a jury
deemed Ayres fit. McDougall said he
cannot make a timing decision until after
his client’s competency is determined.
If Ayres is found incompetent, he

rowed property tax from cities to help
solve the deficit. The League of
California Cities, however, opposes the
idea and has challenged the state in court
over raiding local tax revenue.
Some cities have rich RDAs and big
plans with the money while other cities
do little redevelopment. Officials in
Foster City and San Mateo oppose dis-
mantling RDAs while the mayor of
Belmont, for instance, supports the idea.
San Mateo County officials are still
penciling out how Brown’s proposals will
trickle down, particularly the areas of
health and human services which are fre-
quently on the budgetary chopping block.
Some of the proposed changes to
Health Services Agency programs require
federal approval which make definitive
answers even more difficult at this early
stage, said HSA spokeswoman Amanda
Kim.
The department is already crimped by a
65 percent increase in demand for assis-
tance over the last four years. In the last
calendar year alone, HSA has served an
extra 7,500 residents without any addi-
tional support. The workforce has
declined by about 60 people and child
welfare services sustained a $1.7 million
cut.
In other words, Kim said, HSA is
already challenged before absorbing
these proposals.
“The governor’s budget continues our
local challenge to provide mandated serv-
ices to struggling families, children, the
unemployed and people with medical
needs and disabilities, with only partial
state funding,” said HSA Director
Beverly Beasley Johnson in a prepared
statement.

Hutt wrote in an e-mail.
However, Hutt warned the announce-
ment needs to be adopted first and much
work is required before that can happen.
James Lianides, superintendent of the
Sequoia Union High School District,
was heartened by the proposal adding
that California ranks near the bottom
nationally in per pupil education fund-
ing.
“K-12 education is in desperate need
of funding improvements that I hope
will come in the near future,” he said.
California’s education funding has
gone from $56.6 billion in the 2007-08
school year to the current $49.7 billion
causing numerous cuts. Locally, those
cuts are most apparent in increased class
sizes causing the layoffs of numerous
teachers.
GOVERNMENT REALIGNMENT:
Brown wants to shift a host of responsibilities from the
state to counties,including:
• Keeping low-level offenders in county jails rather than
state prisons and making local authorities responsible
for monitoring parolees,reducing the corrections budget
by $458 million.This is forecast to eventually lead to the
elimination of 4,000 state corrections jobs.
• Transferring responsibility for child welfare services such
as foster care,adoptions and child abuse prevention and
adult protective services for seniors.
• Eliminating local redevelopment agencies.
• Realigning emergency responsibilities so the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection would no
longer respond to some 60,000 medical emergencies
each year.
• Cutting state operations for health and human services
programs with federal requirements by 25 percent,which
would lead to “hundreds of state positions being
eliminated.”

A SALES CAREER
We welcome you to Join the Family
When we say "join the family," we really mean it. It's not just corporate doublespeak designed to
hide layers of bureaucracy and an out of town ownership that treats you like a number.
It means working with a locally-owned business with roots in the community.
The San Mateo Daily Journal is seeking sales pros to join our team. We're looking for men and women
with strong work ethics and unbeatable positive attitudes.
As an account executive with the Daily Journal, your goal will be to help other businesses succeed
while achieving a high level of financial and business success using the following tools:
-- The San Mateo Daily Journal's suite of print advertising, inserts, special sections, and sponsorships
-- smdailyjournal.com online advertising
-- DJ Designer graphic design and marketing services
-- And more to come
Some sales experience is required. Newspaper experience is useful, but not mandatory.
College degree is helpful, but not required.
If any of this sounds good, send us a resume and let's talk.
We want to grow our family. Maybe with you.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
ELIZABETH S. DUKES
Case Number 120745
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Elizabeth S. Dukes. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by:
Donna Lynn Holcomb in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition of Probate requests that
Donna Lynn Holcomb be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
203 Public Notices
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: January 31, 2011 at
9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Oval Office.

of the Group of Eight industrialized
economies and the larger Group of 20
