County preps for big state hit

Bleak forecast means $17 million loss to critical local programs
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The governor’s proposed budget cuts
and shifts means an estimated $17.25
million loss for San Mateo County pro-
grams and services, potentially leaving
the infirm and elderly without in-home
care, children without complete health
David Boesch coverage and the jail filled with hundreds
of state prison inmates.
The Board of Supervisors will hear the
bleak forecast at its Tuesday meeting
and, according to the analysis prepared
by County Manager David Boesch, the
situation could worsen.
Cost estimates related to possible
realignment — the shifting of services
from the state to the county — are not
yet known but “could potentially be sub-
stantial,” Boesch wrote.
Of what is estimated, county officials
say it is still too early to tell what will
stick and what funding will be lost.
However, the numbers penciled out for
Tuesday’s meeting shows hits to several
areas, particularly those in heath and
human services.
The first phase of funding changes
include the shifting of low-level prison-
ers to the county which Sheriff Greg
Munks estimates means approximately
396 inmates serving 11.5-month sen-
tences. District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe
similarly estimates 400 to 500 new pros-
ecution cases annually when this hap-
pens and Health System Director Jean
Fraser estimates an extra $1.05 million

Redwood City ready

to offer severances
City Council getting ready for
budget,department changes
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Redwood City officials want to
offer non-union employees seven
months salary credit as an incentive
to voluntarily resign — a move to
help meet the extra $720,000 in
retirement rates unaccounted for in
the budget.
The idea is one of several budget-
related matters coming before the
City Council Monday night when it
takes a mid-year look at its general
fund and figures out how best to
make its revenue and costs fall in
line.
The exit incentive will be offered
to workers whose jobs are being

fewer employees would bring sav-
ings. Interim Human Resources
Director Gary Rogers and Interim
City Manager Bob Bell estimate an
annual cost savings of $603,00 of
which more than half is from the
general fund. Coupled with other
cuts, the city will save the $720,000
in extra rate costs for the California
Public Employee Retirement
System.
Another long-range strategy up
for vote under the consent agenda is
creating a deputy city attorney posi-
tion to replace the part-time contract
attorney slot. Reducing the adminis-
trative assistant from full to part
time will help cover the costs.

A peaceful gathering Subdivision approvals

Old Town comes together to combat violence rescinded, EIR needed

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Men, women and children wear-

lost to violence came together
Saturday morning in South San
Francisco’s Old Town neighborhood
to march, pray and sing in hopes of
healing their community.
A number of young lives were
lost in the Old Town neighborhood
in 2010. On Saturday, families of
those lost and residents in South San
Francisco who want a change joined
together at Linden Avenue and
Tamarack Lane in South San
Francisco for a peaceful march,
which ended at Eighth Lane and
Linden Avenue for an hour of prayer
and healing. Trees were planted at
the grassy pocket park to commem-
orate the lives lost and a commit-
ment to change.

Alaniz said the district was hesitant
to be part of another reality TV produc-
tion after he said the NBC school
makeover show “School Pride” left
behind a substandard paint job at
Hollenbeck Middle School last year
that cost the district $116,000 to repair.
Alaniz said, however, the district
would continue to participate in fiction

Oliver’s ban was first reported by the

In 1994, the O’Brien made its appearance at

ship had made four crossings during World
War II after being launched June 19 , 1943 by
the New England Shipbuilding Corporation at
South Portland, Maine. It had a further distin-
guished career with service in the South
Pacific and the Indian Ocean. After the war
was over, it was mothballed in Suisun Bay,
Calif. and sat there for 33 years until the
1970s when it was sought after for restoration
and use as a museum. In 1979, the National
Liberty Ship Memorial (a volunteer group)
fired up its boilers and it left the mothball fleet
for a dry-dock site to be restored. Fort Mason
became its home as a floating museum and a
tribute to the U.S. Merchant Marines in World
War II. Later it was docked at Fisherman’s
Wharf and used for tours. It is only one of two
functional liberty ships left out of the 2,710

Year later,family’s disappearance a mystery
By Elliot Spagat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — Detective Troy DuGal has
fielded hundreds of leads since entering the
home of Joseph and Summer McStay a year
ago to find rotten eggs on the kitchen counter
and two cereal bowls full of popcorn on the
living room futon. He believes the McStays
went to Mexico with their two young boys,
but the evidence that fills four large binders in
his office cubicle yields no answers.
“I absolutely know their financials and their
friends better than I know my own financials
and my wife’s friends,” says DuGal, 49, a
homicide investigator for the last three of his
15 years with the San Diego County Sheriff’s
Department.
Friday marked one year since the McStays
disappeared from their home in Fallbrook —
a small town north of San Diego known for its
avocado orchards — and DuGal says he is no
closer to cracking the case than he was the day
that Joseph’s brother called to report the fam-
ily was missing.
Four days after the family vanished, their
white Isuzu Trooper was parked at a San
Diego shopping mall, just steps from Tijuana,
Mexico. A dark surveillance video shows four
people walking across the border that night,
possibly the McStays.
What troubles the detective most is that he

has no account of the four days before they
crossed the border. Were they staying with
friends? Were they at a hotel?
“I think it’s likely that something bad has
happened,” says DuGal, who is on a second
career after serving in the Navy.
Joseph, who was 40 when he disappeared,
was a mild-mannered surfer who made
friends easily. He ran a business from home
designing and installing water fountains. He
kept promises and paid bills on time.
In his spare time, he played soccer and hung
out with buddies. He was close to a teenage
son from a previous marriage who lives in the
San Diego area.

area during the pre-war years looking for
employment and Kaiser was hiring. When the
war became imminent, Kaiser also opened a
shipbuilding plant in Portland, Ore.
Kaiser made a break with Todd Shipyards
on the East Coast and began build a modified
version of the British Ocean Class coal-burn-
ing ships by changing the power plant to oil-
fired engines. These were designated EC2
(Emergency Cargo 2 (between 400 and 450
feet in length) and were called “Liberty
Ships.” The shipyard in Richmond became
Richmond Yard #1. In 1941, Kaiser began
building a new six-way yard that was expand-
ed to nine ways and then to 12 ways. This
became Richmond Yard #2. Eventually Yard
#3 with five dry docks rather than ways was
constructed. Yard #3 concentrated on C4
transports (Cargo and 522 feet long) that were
powered by 9,000 horsepower steam-turbine
engines. Eventually Yard #4 was constructed.
was more reserved. An avid shopper, she fre-
quented Ross Dress for Less and had a pen-
chant for fur and Ugg footwear.
She was a devoted stay-at-home mom to
Gianni, who was 4, and Joseph Mateo, 3. She
gave birth at home and wanted them home-
schooled.
Born Lisa Virginia Aranda, Summer has
taken several names during her life, which
DuGal chalks up to an eccentric personality.
Her sister, Tracy Russell, told him that
Summer once suggested she change her name
to Autumn.
Summer admired Italians, which may
explain why she once took the surname
Martelli. DuGal hasn’t found anyone in her
life with that name.
“Summer did not care for her Hispanic her-
itage,” DuGal said. “Therefore, she assumed
identities in the things she liked.”
The couple dated a while and married in
2007. They left a small duplex in San
Clemente, south of Los Angeles, after their
boys were born and bought a home in
Fallbrook. They moved in over Thanksgiving
weekend in 2009 and were unpacked when
they vanished barely two months later.
DuGal found no signs of forced entry when
he arrived at their home Feb. 15, the day that
Michael McStay called to report his brother
missing. A computer search piqued the detec-
tive’s interest.
Richmond, which had a pre-war population
of 23,600, increased to 93,700 by 1943. The
government’s 20,300 housing units were not
enough to house the workers and trailer
camps sprung up everywhere. All available
space was utilized for sleeping quarters —
garages, vacant rooms, etc. The “Shipyard
Railway,” as it was called, was actually the
Key System Railway that was connected from
Oakland to Richmond to get workers to their
jobs.
Henry Kaiser’s success in producing 519
Liberty Ships from their Richmond yards was
due to his assembly line approach to building
ships. Many ship parts were prefabricated
elsewhere and transported to the yards ready
to be installed. California Steel Products,
located in Richmond also, furnished sub-
assemblies for Kaiser. The engines supplied

Arab unrest complicates counterterrorism efforts

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Two
men have been arrested and charged
in a shooting at an Ohio fraternity

The suspects are in their early 20s

he withheld their names pending

was arrested at his home, he said.
Hughes said he wasn’t sure if
either man has a criminal record.

Egypt VP offers new concessions

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO — Egypt’s vice president
met with the outlawed Muslim
Brotherhood and other opposition
groups for the first time Sunday and
offered sweeping concessions,
including granting press freedom
and rolling back police powers in
the government’s latest attempt to
try to end nearly two weeks of
upheaval.
But the opposition leaders held
firm to a demand the government
rejects: that President Hosni
Mubarak step down immediately.
And the source of the opposition’s
sudden power — the youthful pro-
testers filling Cairo’s main square
— said they weren’t even represent-
ed at the talks and won’t negotiate
until Mubarak is gone.
“None of those who attended rep-
resent us,” said Khaled Abdul-
Hamid, one leader of a new coali-
tion representing at least five youth
movements that organized the 13-
day-old protests. “We are deter-
mined to press on until our number
one demand is met” — the ouster of
Mubarak.
“The regime is retreating,” Abdul-
Hamid told The Associated Press.
“It is making more concessions
every day.”
At the same time, there were

by a lack of cohesiveness. Sunday’s

Tunisian minister suspends ex-ruling party

or meeting places it owns closed —
ahead of a demand to dissolve the
party, a ministry statement said.
The RCD embodied the policies
of former President Zine El Abidine
Ben Ali, who fled into exile Jan. 14
after a month of nationwide anti-
government protests.
The party became a key instru-
ment by which Ben Ali maintained
power, and by which corruption

Speaking in an undated video
posted on a Chechen rebel website
this weekend, Umarov makes no
direct reference to the Jan. 24 sui-
cide bombing at Moscow’s
Domodedovo Airport, which killed
spread. Should the RCD be dis-
solve, it would be among the most
sweeping moves since Ben Ali’s
departure.
The official TAP news agency,
which carried the statement, said the
measure was taken because of the
“extreme urgency” of the situation,
a reference to deadly weekend
protests around Tunisia, and to “pre-
serve the higher interests of the
nation.”

Iran opens trial
of 3 Americans
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran — Two
Americans accused of spying
appeared in a closed-door Iranian
court session Sunday to begin trial
after an 18-month detention that has
brought impassioned family
appeals, a stunning bail deal to free
their companion and backdoor
diplomatic outreach by Washington
through an Arab ally in the Gulf.
All three — two in person and one
in absentia — entered not guilty
pleas during the five-hour hearing,
said their lawyer, Masoud Shafiei.
He added that he was barred by
Iranian law from giving any further
details of the proceedings. But he
noted that the judge decided for at least
one more session in Tehran
Revolutionary Court, which deals with
state security cases including some of
the high-profile opposition figures
arrested in the violent aftermath of
Iran’s disputed election in 2009.
He described the jailed Americans
— Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal —
as appearing in good health and said
they sat next to him during the trial
session.
“I hoped the case would have
ended today,” Shafiei told the
Associated Press. “I now hope they
fix the next session for the near
future.”

Remembering Jim Fitzgerald
T
he late James V. Fitzgerald
has the unfortunate distinc-
tion of being the only incum-
bent on the San Mateo County Board
of Supervisors to lose an election.
Fitzgerald was defeated by Jackie
Speier in 1980.
But Half Moon Bay Councilwoman
Marina Fraser didn’t even know who
Fitzgerald was until she received a
letter from him several years before
he died in 2008. He wrote asking to
meet with her without mentioning
that he had been a former supervisor.
Marina said she was both amazed and
delighted to meet him and they had
several good conversations after that.
Fitzgerald, a former member of the
San Bruno City Council, is best
remembered by the marine reserve in
Moss Beach which bears his name.
It’s a great place for kids to explore
when the tides are low. He was an
avid scuba diver and snorkeler and
was asked by a group of marine biol-
ogists to protect the unique tide pool
region and reef. It seems visitors were
carrying away starfish and other sea
life while motorcyclists would ride
over the nearby bluffs. By creating
the marine reserve, he helped to pre-
serve a popular and educational desti-
nation we can all enjoy today.

of redevelopment. As a
school board member,
we fought to retain
money for schools. With
Tish Busselle leading
the way (she had for-
merly worked in
Sacramento and under-
stood the threat) the San
Mateo elementary dis-
trict worked out an
agreement with the city
of San Mateo to be
reimbursed for some of
the loss. So did the high
school district, the com-
munity college district and the coun-
ty. All of these entities lose money
when redevelopment districts are
formed and all of the tax increment
goes to support development in the
district. On the other hand, as a mem-
ber of the San Mateo City Council, I
saw the huge benefits of redevelop-
ment. We used it to improve down-
town, build the garage next to the
movie theater, turn an empty shop-
ping mall into Bridgepointe, create
Shoreline Park and help build hun-
dreds of units of affordable housing.
The law governing redevelopment
districts has been tightened over the
years. In the beginning, it was
designed to eliminate blight in poor
urban districts. But it was certainly
abused by many and the definition of
blight stretched to the ridiculous. In
some communities, redevelopment
funds were used to build golf courses,
luxury condominiums, etc. It is still
being proposed for several football
stadiums.
And it’s a legitimate question, is
there really blight in well-off subur-
ban communities, especially new
ones such as Foster City? When I
asked a Foster City councilmember
about the governor’s proposal, the
response was furious. I asked what
the governor should cut instead. The
answer was somewhat surprising and

other council members: “We should
take the money away from public
schools.”

A surge to save
Caltrain was in evi-
dence at two summits
last week. The first,
sponsored by the
Silicon Valley
Leadership Group at Stanford
University, included 200 business
executives and elected officials.
Eighty long-term and short-term solu-
tions were proposed. The second, at
the SamTrans building in San Carlos,
was sponsored by grassroots Friends
of Caltrain. More than 250 com-
muters, elected officials and support-
ers from Santa Clara, San Mateo and
San Francisco participated.
Meanwhile, Caltrain is preparing a
budget to be approved July 1 which
would include the elimination of all
mid-day and weekend service, the
closure of seven stations, and no spe-
cial trains for Giants’ games.
The problem is not Caltrain, which
is doing fine with increased fare rev-
enues and ridership. It is the three
country transit agencies which fund
Caltrain: SamTrans, Santa Clara
County’s Valley Transportation
Authority and San Francisco
Municipal Transportation Agency that
can’t meet their commitment.
Attendees at both summits insist there
needs to be a more reliable source of
funds and, in the meantime, emer-
gency measures to avoid the severe

The price
we pay?
“A
more healthy country is a more competitive and
prosperous country,” said Kathleen Sebelius, secre-
tary of the Department of Health and Human
Services, as she explained the new government guidelines for a
healthier diet.
For some time before 1984, when I started writing columns
(many on nutrition), responsible nutritionists were trying to get
the following messages across: refined flour, as in white bread, is
seriously nutrient deficient; most breakfast cereals are junk; soft
drinks are anti-nutritious; and a lot of the innovative products put
out by our opportunistic food industry were about as beneficial
nutritionally as their packaging. These people lamented the way
most Americans were eating and predicted much ill health for the
future. But most Americans, including the USDA and the AMA,
paid little or no attention, and
now the situation has become crit-
ical.
In all that time, not much has
changed. As the food industry has
enthusiastically continued to turn
our food supply into a minefield,
more Americans have become
overweight, obese and generally
unhealthy. For instance, the inci-
dence of diabetes has increased
dramatically, especially in chil-
dren. The USDA and the DHHS
say the goal of their guidelines is
to also decrease heart disease,
hypertension, osteoporosis and
some types of cancer. The empha-
sis this year is on limiting the amount of sodium in our diets. But
it is quite likely that their efforts are too little, too late, especially
when you consider the frenzied lifestyle of so many of today’s
Americans, an intrepid food industry only concerned with the
bottom line and the unwillingness of so many to give up their
self-indulgent habits and who really don’t care enough to make
changes in their diet that would promote better health.
Of course, the food industry would like us to believe that it
doesn’t matter what we eat as long as we burn off those calories
with exercise. But it isn’t just weight gain that should concern us.
Eating the usual American diet, overweight or not, we are very
likely to be malnourished, which also greatly compromises
health. So, hearing again the government’s recommendations
(that were greatly influenced by vested interests), to eat less salt
and sugar, little trans fats, more whole grains, more fruit and veg-
etables, etc., the food industry will keep trying to fool us into
believing that they have our best interest at heart when they take
out a bit of trans fats here, add a bit of whole grains there or
decrease sugar or use sugar substitutes. But most such altered
products will basically remain junk foods.
“Most of us … can recognize how food companies spend
money on advertising, but it is far more difficult to know about
the industry’s behind-the-scenes efforts in Congress, federal
agencies, courts, universities, and professional organizations to
make diets seem like a matter of personal choice rather than of
deliberate manipulation.” – Marion Nestle, “Food Politics.” Add
that to the messages drummed into our heads in this culture to
live like there’s no tomorrow and indulge now and pay later and
there is very little hope there will be anything but token change in
the way the great majority of Americans eat.
If these government agencies were sincere about “a more
healthy country,” they would publish a long list of products that
anyone serious about eating healthfully would avoid. Included
would be all high-sucrose, nutritionally devoid beverages, espe-
cially sodas. Add processed and high-fat meats, anything contain-
ing hydrogenated fats, all but the simplest packaged or ready-pre-
pared products, and anything containing a lot of saturated fat,
sweeteners and sodium. We would be advised to prepare our own
food as much as possible, select very carefully when eating out or
getting take-out and to buy organic whenever we can.
But don’t expect miracles since the food industry continually
applies pressure on government to refrain from pointing a blam-
ing finger at any of their products. Whatever type of graphic (like
the food pyramid of 2005) that government comes up with this
year may be helpful for the few Americans who will go to the
trouble to develop a healthier diet, but real change will not hap-
pen. The situation being what it is, drastic action would need to
be taken. Marjorie Freedman, assistant professor of nutrition at
San Jose State University warns us: “Unless we radically alter
our food system to make healthier food less expensive and more
available to the population at large, we will not solve the prob-
lem.”
Kathleen Sebelius et al, may have good intentions, but as long
as corporate interests call the shots, the changes in our eating
habits needed for a country healthy enough to be more “competi-
tive and prosperous” will not come to pass. Is that the price we
pay for progress?

King of retail plots rebound

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SADDLE BROOK, N.J. — The bat-
tle for shoppers is playing out in this
New York suburb: Wal-Mart versus
everyone else.
Dollar stores beckon, their small size
ideal for quick shopping. Target offers 5
percent off if you pay with its store-
branded card.
Costco tempts with high-end, brand-
name food and designer clothes at com-
petitive prices.
Bernadette Clark used to visit Wal-
Mart here twice a week. Now it’s twice
a month. She got fed up last year when
Wal-Mart stopped stocking some of her
favorite brands and she couldn’t count
on low prices.
“It gave me the opportunity to look
elsewhere,” she says. “I shop around
more.”
Three years ago, Wal-Mart ruled for
convenience, selection and price. But
today it is losing customers and revenue,
and smarting from decisions that back-
fired.
Wal-Mart is not in danger of ceding
its place atop the retail world.
But competitors have begun to chip
away at its dominance.
Over the last year, revenue at Wal-
Mart stores open at least a year has fall-
en by an average 0.75 percent each quar-
ter, according to the International
Council of Shopping Centers. Revenue
rose by an average of nearly 1.7 percent
at Target, 8 percent at Costco and 5.9
percent at Family Dollar.
To fight back, Wal-Mart is again
emphasizing low prices and adding back
thousands of products it had culled in an
overzealous bid to clean up stores. It’s
also plotting an expansion into cities,
even neighborhoods where others dare
not go.
“We are running a better business
because our competitors cause us to
raise our own game,” Wal-Mart CEO
Mike Duke told The Associated Press in
an interview. Wal-Mart expects to halt
the decline in revenue when it reports
results from its fourth quarter this
month.
Unlike most stores, Wal-Mart thrived
when the Great Recession struck in late
2007. Its core customers — households
making less than $70,000 a year —
bought more. For many, it became the
only place they shopped. Affluent shop-
pers became price conscious and dis-
covered Wal-Mart’s prices were hard to
beat.
All of Wal-Mart’s $27 billion in rev-
enue growth for the year ending in
January 2009 came from greater
demand for basic items — food, phar-
macy and household goods. Shoppers
spent 13 percent more on basics at Wal-
Mart that year.
Shoppers also liked that Wal-Mart’s
stores looked neater. The company was
finishing a major renovation to address
complaints that its stores were messy.
Wal-Mart widened aisles, eliminated
clutter, improved lighting and lowered
shelves.
Family Dollar and Dollar General
posed little threat. Their stores generally
were dingy, and their shelves were filled
with low-quality clothing and house-
wares. The groceries weren’t major
brands.
Target, meanwhile, struggled with the
perception that its prices were high. And
stores filled with non-essential items —
think brightly colored, decorative pil-
lows and kitchen accessories — didn’t
appeal to shoppers focused on making
ends meet.

Rail system suffers through brutal winter
By Chris Hawley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — When members of
Congress met recently to discuss revital-
izing passenger trains in the United
States, they chose Grand Central
Terminal, a majestic hub of New York’s
vaunted mass transit system. From a
balcony above the main concourse,
Mayor Michael Bloomberg told law-
makers he rides the subway every day
and called high-speed passenger rail
“the track to the future.”
But to actual New York commuters,
such talk rings hollow these days.
Mechanical breakdowns, stranded
trains, rising fares and the governor’s
plans to cut another $100 million from
the Metropolitan Transportation
Authority’s budget have left travelers
fuming. An onslaught of snowstorms
has exposed the rail system’s weakness-
es, shorting out electric motors and
snapping electric lines. On Monday the
Metro-North commuter line will cut
service on its popular New Haven line
because half of its trains are in the shop.
“I don’t see New York’s mass transit
system as a model for anybody,” said
Jim Griffin, 36, who rides every day
from South Norwalk, Conn. to an office
in Times Square. “You name the
excuse, we’ve heard it this winter.
Besides the largest-in-the-nation sub-
way system, New York has the nation’s
largest concentration of passenger rail-
roads. Speedy Acela trains bring travel-
ers from Washington, D.C. and Boston
on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor line.
The Long Island Rail Road, the nation’s
largest commuter rail road, and Metro-
North Railroad serve more than 500,000
daily riders east and north of the city.
NJ Transit and the Port Authority’s
PATH trains go west.
The Obama administration has called
the Northeast Corridor a “gem” and says
it wants to replicate its success nation-
wide with a $13 billion plan for new
high-speed rail lines. In his State of the
Union address last month, President
Barack Obama said he wants to bring
high-speed train travel to 80 percent of
Americans. The federal government
poured $188 million of Recovery Act
funds into commuter rail projects last
year, from new regional trains in Oregon
to upgraded switches on Baltimore’s
light rail system.

Iraqis rally against

poor public services,
seek job security
By Saad Abdul-Kadir
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD — Protesters scuffled with riot police and

marched along sewage-filled streets in demonstrations across
Iraq on Sunday to demand better utilities and job security
from their government.
Authorities estimated several thousand protesters turned
out in Baghdad, Basra, Ramadi, Mosul and a small town in
Iraq’s eastern Diyala province. They were galvanizing on
popular uprisings across the Mideast to repeat long-standing
complaints about Iraq’s limited electricity, shoddy water and
sewage services, and potential layoffs in government jobs.
“Our children have many diseases because of sewage prob-
lems and accumulated trash in the area,” said Ali Hassan, a
resident of Boub al-Sham, where more than 1,000 protesters
gathered amid stagnant pools of water and a stench of waste
in the air. The Diyala town is located about 15 miles (25 kilo-
meters) northeast of Baghdad.
In the southern port city of Basra, around 1,500 demonstra-
tors got into a shoving match with riot police who lined up to
protect the provincial government headquarters.
A small delegation of the protesters met with Basra provin-
cial officials to present a list of demands, including better
electricity, more jobs and a crackdown on crime and corrup-
tion in Iraq’s second-largest city. Makki Jassim al-Timimi,
who led the Basra protest, said government officials promised
to answer their demands within two weeks.
While protests in Iraq so far have come nowhere close to
the scale or intensity of those in Egypt or Tunisia, they
nonetheless have unnerved government officials. Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki this week announced he would not
run for a third term and that he would return half his salary to
the treasury in an effort to close gaps between Iraq’s politi-
cally privileged and its poor.

Mark Wilson leads Phoenix Open

By John Nicholson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Mark
Wilson had a two-stroke lead in the
Phoenix Open when play was sus-
pended Sunday because of dark-
ness.
Wearing a yellow visor and green
shirt in support of his beloved
Packers, the Wisconsin player broke
a tie with Tommy Gainey with a 15-
foot birdie putt on the par-3 12th.
Gainey three-putted for a bogey on
the hole.
Wilson and Gainey were facing
20-foot birdie putts on the par-5
13th when they decided it was too
dark to finish the hole.
Wilson was 18 under. Gainey was
tied for second with Vijay Singh and
Jason Dufner. Singh shot a 66,
while Dufner had four holes left.
The start Sunday was delayed a
half-hour because of frost. About
nine hours of playing time has been
lost to frost and frozen turf, forcing
the Monday finish.
Wilson completed a 3-under 68 in
the third round Sunday and was 2
under through 12 holes in the final
round. On the amphitheater No. 16
in the third round, Wilson and cad-
die Chris Jones donned cheeseheads
and led the fans in Packers chants.
Gainey was 1 over in the final
round after shooting a 68 in the
third round to take a one-stroke lead
over Wilson.
Singh, winless since 2008, was
the last player off the course, put-
ting out on the par-4 18th in the dark
more than 10 minutes after Wilson
and Gainey stopped playing.
J.B. Holmes (67) and Nick
Watney (68) finished at 15 under.
Martin Laird and Chris Couch also
were 15 under.
Laird had two holes left, and
Couch had five.

Stamkos powers Lightning Celtics beat Magic

court on a stretcher after a

past Blues 4-2 in overtime

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — Steven Stamkos and
Vincent Lecavalier helped make sure the
Tampa Bay Lightning rebounded from a lack-
luster defeat.
Lecavalier had a power-play goal at 4:53 in
overtime, Stamkos scored his NHL-leading
40th goal and the Lightning beat the St. Louis
Blues 4-3 on Sunday.
Tampa Bay, which leads the Southeast
Division by three points over Washington, was
coming off a 5-2 loss Friday night to the
Capitals.
“Personally, for myself, I thought that was
one of my worst games last game in a big
game, so I knew I had to come out and try to
prove to myself that I wanted to help this team
win,” Stamkos said. “It wasn’t just me, the
whole team stepped up.”
St. Louis defenseman Eric Brewer was
called for a holding penalty 3:40 into the extra
session, and Lecavalier converted a rebound
backhander off a shot by Marc-Andre
Bergeron for his ninth goal of the season, giv-
ing Tampa Bay the victory.
“Relentless, that’s how we played,”
Lecavalier said.
Lecavalier has two goals in his last 17
games.
Stamkos had three assists, and Dominic
Moore and Steve Downie also scored for the
Lightning, who have won seven of eight.
Stamkos also leads the NHL with 72 points.
Patrik Berglund, David
Backes and Nikita Nikitin
had the St. Louis goals.
The Blues have lost 11 of
14.
“The difference is a 4-
on-3 goal with 6 seconds
left in overtime,” Backes
said. “There’s no such
Steven Stamkos thing as a moral victory,
but to see ourselves play
straight up with a prety good team is a step in
the right direction.”
Stamkos, who turns 21 on Monday, joins
Lecavalier (2006-07, 2007-08) as the only
Tampa Bay players with consecutive seasons
with 40 or more goals. The center has four
goals and seven points in three games against
the Blues.
Stamkos made it 1-0 with 1:17 to go in the
first, lifting a rebound over Ty Conklin after
the Blues goalie stopped a shot by Brett Clark.
Martin St. Louis, who has 13 assists and 17
points in 15 games against the Blues, helped
set up the goal with a couple of stickhandling
moves just above the right circle before pass-
ing the puck to Clark.
After Berglund tied it from the low slot 30
seconds into the second, Moore put the
Lightning ahead 2-1 at 2:33.
St. Louis tied it again when Backes scored
during a 5-on-3 power play at 11:05 of the sec-
ond. Nikitin (13:09) and Downie (13:39) trad-
ed goals 30 seconds apart later in the period.

BOSTON — Rajon Rondo kept scoring
inside while the Orlando Magic continued
missing from outside.
Boston’s pass-first point guard drove
aggressively to the hoop and scored 26 points
to lead the Celtics to a 91-80 win on Sunday.
“He totally dominated us,” Magic coach
Stan Van Gundy said, “got where he wanted to
go anytime he wanted to go.”
With Rondo scoring 11 points, the Celtics
extended a 46-43 halftime lead to 70-61 after
the third quarter. They led by eight to 16
points the rest of the way.
Paul Pierce had 18 points and Kevin Garnett
scored 16 for the Celtics, who improved to 23-
4 at home. Dwight Howard had 28 points —
only six in the second half — and 13 rebounds
for the Magic, who lost for the fifth time in
eight games despite playing tight defense on
Pierce and Ray Allen.
“They didn’t leave Ray or Paul’s body. I
tried to be aggressive,” Rondo said. “The lane
just opened up a lot more even though Dwight
was down there.”
The Celtics rallied after a scary injury to
backup guard Marquis Daniels with 11:01 left
in the second quarter. He was taken off the
collision with Gilbert
Arenas and Orlando ahead
24-17.
Dr. Brian McKeon, the
Celtics’ team physician,
said Daniels bruised his
spinal cord. Danny Ainge,
the team’s president of
Rajon Rondo basketball operations, said
Daniels had full function
and, as a best case, would miss one to two
months.
The injury helped the Celtics “a lot,” Rondo
said. “It’s crazy to say you have to wait for
something to happen to get a boost. That’s
how it is.”
Boston led by three at halftime and
stretched that to 70-55 with 3:36 left in the
third quarter. At that point, the Celtics had
made 9 of their 10 shots in the period while
the Magic had hit just 4 of 18.
“I just could not find anything for us to run
to get a decent shot,” Van Gundy said.
Orlando scored the last six points of the
third quarter, cutting the lead to 70-61, but the
Celtics came right back with a 7-2 run to go
ahead 77-63.
“I thought Rondo took the third over,”
Garnett said.

championship.
“Got to give credit to our defense.
This is a great group of men that we put
together here, a lot of character, been
through a lot together,” said Rodgers,
who threw two TD passes to Greg
Jennings and one to Jordy Nelson. “It’s
just great to be able to share it with
them.”
Don’t forget, Rodgers’ strong per-
formance came against Pittsburgh’s
vaunted defense, the one featuring NFL
Defensive Player of the Year Troy
Polamalu and linebacker James
Harrison. The Steelers limited oppo-
nents to an NFL-low 14.5 points per
game this season, but the Packers topped
that by the second quarter.
Rodgers was hardly perfect all game.
But perhaps he could be forgiven if he
was experiencing some jitters at the
start. After all, the guy only played in
one playoff game in his career before
this season. A Super Bowl debut certain-
ly must jangle the nerves, especially for
a quarterback.
And so Rodgers began the game by
overthrowing receivers and generally
being off-kilter, completing only one of
his first five passes. Then he righted
himself and showed precisely why the
Packers drafted Rodgers in the first
round in 2005 and set upon on a course
to let Favre leave so they could count on
the kid.
Green Bay’s second drive began with
Rodgers overthrowing Jennings. And
then? Rodgers couldn’t miss. He went 5
for 5 for 63 yards the rest of that posses-
sion, finishing it with a 29-yard touch-
down toss to Nelson with a little more
than 3 1/2 minutes left in the first quar-
ter.

Rodgers simply raised both arms in
the familiar “Touchdown!” signal used

guard Daryn Colledge. Rodgers is a gen-
erally laid-back guy, and he does not
engage in any of that wild running
around and helmet-slapping Favre was
so famous for when he starred at
Lambeau Field.
Rodgers’ perfect pass to Nelson made
it 7-0. Then, suddenly, the Packers were
ahead 14-0 all of 24 seconds later, when
Nick Collins returned an interception of
Ben Roethlisberger 37 yards for a TD.
Roethlisberger, with his two previous
Super Bowl championships, was sup-

mage, reading the defense and adjusting.
And he did it all without the benefit of
any help from a Packers running game

that was limited to 50 yards.
Rodgers zipped a 21-yard pass down
the middle to Jennings, just past leaping
safety Ryan Clark, to put the Packers
ahead 21-3 with 2 1/2 minutes left in the
first half. At that point, Rodgers was 11
for 16 for 137 yards and two TDs —
making him 10 for 11 in the stretch that
followed his rough start.
In second half, Rodgers went through
another rough stretch, throwing five con-
secutive incompletions and leaving the
field quickly over and over as the
Steelers kept forcing the Packers to punt
But Rodgers was back in top form
when he needed to be in the fourth quar-
ter, leading a 55-yard touchdown drive
after Steelers running back Rashard
Mendenhall fumbled and Desmond
Bishop recovered.
On a key third-and-10, Rodgers con-
nected with Nelson on a 38-yard catch-
and-run, with the receiver cutting across
the field, eluding would-be tacklers left
and right. That set up Green Bay at
Pittsburgh’s 3, and on first down,
Rodgers showed good judgment, hold-
ing onto the ball as he leaped and
appeared to be looking to throw a jump-
pass. Instead of forcing matters, Rodgers
clutched the ball carefully and took the
sack.
On second-and-goal from the 8,
Rodgers spun a spiral to a wide-open
Jennings in the far corner of the end
zone to put the Packers ahead 28-17
with about 12 minutes left in the fourth
quarter. When he led Green Bay to its
final points, a field goal right before the
2-minute warning, Rodgers’ work was
done.
After the Packers stopped the Steelers’
last drive, all he had to was walk on the
field and kneel down to run out the
clock. A short while later, Rodgers was
clutching the Vince Lombardi Trophy,
having joined Favre and Bart Starr as
QBs who brought Super Bowl champi-

Patriots’Brady unanimous MVP choice
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Here’s a Brady
Bunch for NFL fans: Tom Brady got
all 50 votes for MVP.
The New England Patriots quar-
terback on Sunday became the first
unanimous choice for The
Associated Press NFL Most
Valuable Player Award since the AP
began using a nationwide panel of
media members who cover the
league.
He surpassed himself, too: In
2007, when Brady won his first
MVP, he got 49 votes; one voter
went for Brett Favre.
“It is always flattering to be cho-
sen for such a prestigious award,”
Brady said. “But I also look at it as a
team award, as nothing in football
gets accomplished without the men-
tal toughness and determination of
every player and coach associated
with that team.
“I am very humbled to be a part of
an organization where winning
comes first, and our goals are based
around the success of the team.”
Those successes, including three
Super Bowl titles in the last 10
years, are in great part due to
Brady’s excellence.
Although he didn’t set nearly as
many passing marks as in ’07, Brady
by far was the league’s top per-
former in leading New England to a
14-2 record, best in the NFL. He had
a record streak of 335 throws with-
out being intercepted, and passed for
36 touchdowns with only four picks.
Not that the 33-year-old Brady
would compare this season’s
Patriots to any others.
“Every team every year is differ-
ent,” he said, “and over the course of
100 practices and many games a
team establishes its identity. Players
change, schemes change, opponents
change, which is why the game is so
exciting year in and year out.
“The fact that 32 teams start out
each year with the same goal is why
the popularity of the sport is at an
all-time high. The great part about
our sport is that nothing comes easy,
and wherever you stand at the end of
SPORTS
the year is the exact place that you
deserve to be.”
Individually, Brady stands above
all others. The only Patriot to win
the award, he and Peyton Manning,
his rival for the NFL’s best quarter-
back, have split the last four MVPs.
Brady followed his previous MVP
trophy with a lost season, tearing left
knee ligaments in the first half of the
2008 opener. His return in 2009 was
solid, although hand and rib injuries
slowed him.
This year, even with a sore right
foot that required postseason sur-
gery, Brady was simply dynamic.
He twice threw for four touchdowns
in a game and four times had three.
Twelve times, he had a passer rating
of at least 100.
And he guided a young team in
transition to 14 victories.
“Brady is so special because he’s
such a great leader and all the play-
ers can relate to him,” team owner
Robert Kraft said. “These kids
(rookies) who come in live in awe of
him, but the nice thing is he treats
them well.

MVP of the NFL Sunday.

“He works very hard, he studies
very hard,” Kraft added. “Being a
great quarterback isn’t just being
very skilled. It’s being able to
process information quickly, to
make the adjustments, and I think
he’s fabulous at that.”
As fabulous as he might have
been, Brady, not surprisingly, has
some regrets about 2010.
“When the season is over, 31
teams are disappointed about the
outcome,” he said. “There is only
one champion, and nobody plays
this game for second place. The
desire and hunger is about winning,
which to me never gets old. The
motivation to get up and work every
day for that goal is something that
challenges us all.
“Our team has very high expecta-
tions, and our team will come back
this year with the same purpose,” he
said. “Whether or not that leads to a
championship season will be deter-
mined by the commitment each
player makes to do their job as best
as they possibly can.”
The way Brady does.

‘Roommate’tops weak box office
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The college thriller
“The Roommate” has moved into the top spot
at the box office with a $15.6 million debut
during a typically slow Super Bowl weekend
in which the NFL championship game preoc-
cupies movie fans.
The Sony release features Leighton Meester
as a psycho freshman who becomes obsessed
with her new roomie (Minka Kelly).
The 3-D underwater cave adventure
“Sanctum,” whose producers include “Avatar”
creator James Cameron, drew modest crowds
and came in second with $9.2 million, accord-
ing to studio estimates Sunday.
Released by Universal, “Sanctum” is a sur-
vival story about explorers trapped under-
ground in flooded caves during a monster
storm.
The previous weekend’s No. 1 movie,
Anthony Hopkins’ exorcism thriller “The
Rite,” fell steeply to sixth-place with $5.6 mil-
lion. The Warner Bros. release raised its 10-
day total to $23.7 million.
Revenue estimates were off sharply on
Sunday as football fans gave movies a pass in
favor of the big game. Even without the Super
Bowl, though, it was another sleepy weekend
at theaters, with overall business down for the
13th-straight weekend compared to last year,
when Cameron’s 3-D sensation “Avatar” still
was riding high.
“I think Hollywood would be crying right
now were it not for the ‘Avatar’ excuse. It real-
ly was an anomaly how well that film was
doing in January and February last year,” said
Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-office
DATEBOOK
“The Roommate”was the top weekend movie.
tracker Hollywood.com.
This weekend’s receipts came in at $86 mil-
lion, down 25 percent from the same weekend
in 2010, according to Hollywood.com. A year
ago, the weekend was led by “Dear John” in
first-place with $30.5 million and “Avatar” in
second with $22.9 million, a huge number for
a film that already had been in theaters for
nearly two months.
Largely because of “Avatar,” overall rev-
enues so far this year are running 24 percent
behind 2010’s.
Still, Sony was happy with the results for
“The Roommate,” which nearly earned back
its $16 million production budget over open-
ing weekend.
Though trashed by critics, the movie gave
room for a showy performance from “Gossip
Girl” co-star Meester as the wacko roommate.
Reagan celebrated by Nancy,
Beach Boys on 100th birthday
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. — Actors,
musicians, former advisers and
friends are taking the stage in
California to pay tribute to Ronald
Reagan on the 100th anniversary of
his birth.
Former first lady Nancy Reagan
placed a wreath on the grave of her
late husband Sunday. She briefly
greeted the crowd of about 1,200
guests on the east lawn of the Ronald
Reagan Presidential Library.
She makes frequent appearances at
the library but rarely speaks.
“She really goes for it,” said Rory Bruer,
Sony’s head of distribution. “Crazy and beau-
tiful. It kind of works for her.”
“Sanctum” brought in spare change com-
pared to the billions of “Avatar,” though its
opening weekend went a long way toward
recouping the $12 million that Universal and
partner Relativity Media paid for its distribu-
tion rights.
And the studio was happy to be in business
with Cameron, a pioneer in digital 3-D pro-
duction.
“Anybody working with this man, you have
to revel in the opportunity,” said Nikki Rocco,
head of distribution for Universal.
While Hollywood is off to a slow start in
2011, the industry still could have a record
year for revenue once a huge lineup of late-
spring and summer blockbusters arrive,
Dergarabedian said.
Last year was front-loaded with “Avatar,”
but business slowed through much of the sum-
mer and fall.
“The long shadow of ‘Avatar’ will start
diminishing pretty soon,” Dergarabedian said.
Top ten movies
1.“The Roommate,”$15.6 million.
2.“Sanctum,”$9.2 million.
3.“No Strings Attached,”$8.4 million.
4.“The King’s Speech,”$8.3 million.
5.“The Green Hornet,”$6.1 million.
6.“The Rite,”$5.6 million.
7.“The Mechanic,”$5.4 million.
8.“True Grit,”$4.8 million.
9.“The Dilemma,”$3.5 million.
10.“Black Swan,”$3.4 million.

secretary and

friend James
Baker III and actor
Gary Sinise spoke
to the crowd.

Ronald Reagan Boys performed

Reagan was 93 when he died on
June 5, 2004, after a long battle with
Alzheimer’s disease.

I
t’s true. There are indeed “dog” peo-
ple and “cat” people. In fact, within
the larger cat people set, there are
subsets of black cat people, Himalayan
lovers, Siamese devotes, Tabby and Tortie
fans. And, in the dog world, forget it.
There are far too many groups and subsets
to list. Clumber spaniel owners on the
Peninsula get together each Sunday for
play dates and, if you crash that scene with
your springer, you will be outed! Still,
some people aren’t as particular. I know
people with bully breeds and rabbits living
under the same roof. Cat owners who love
German shepherds, and a certain humane
society president I know quite well who
shares his home with a big dog, smaller
dog, a cat and bird. In this world of spe-
cialists and generalists, we try to keep our-
selves relevant at the shelter. Take the next
two classes we’re offering. On Sunday,
Feb. 13, 3 p.m.-4 p.m., we’re presenting
Pit Bulls 101, a class designed for folks
who have or are considering the breed. Do
they really have locking jaws? Can they be
family pets or go to dog parks? To sign up
and learn all this, contact
Stephanie@OurPack.org. And, for people
who like cats — any cats — we’re offering
a training class, with part one on Saturday,
March 5 and the second part the following
weekend. Both classes are 10 a.m. to 11:45
a.m. Cat behaviorist Marilyn Kreiger will
explain how owners can deal with unap-
preciated behaviors and train their cats.
She’ll also sign copies of her new book,
“Naughty No More!” Trust me, if you
Google that, you may land on a few pages
that have nothing to do with cats. Play it
safe and call us at 650/340-7022, ext. 308

Changing the department is estimated
to give the city more attorney-level
work and let the employee be cross-
trained in land use and planning.
Unlike the addition planned for that
office, the City Manager’s Office and
Public Works Department have cuts
proposed.
The deputy city manager position
will be eliminated and current office

If the Division of Juvenile Justice is
eliminated as proposed, the Probation
Department expects approximately 20
youth will come back. The department
also will be asked to supervise state
inmates released but can’t yet estimate
how much of an increased caseload it
means.
Timing of the second phase — a
shake up of programs like food stamps
and in-home supportive services —has-
n’t been announced which makes it dif-

hood be changed. It’s important that
kids know there are options other than
violence,” said Annette Dela Cruz, a
resident who helped organize
Saturday’s event.
Actions to bring the community
together were sparked after Hector
Flores, 20, Omar Cortez, 18, and
Gonzalo Avalos, 19, were fatally shot in
an alley off Linden Avenue Dec. 22 in a
gang-related shooting that also left
three others injured. They were three of
six men killed in less than a year in the
neighborhood. Saturday’s activity was
one step toward building a stronger
neighborhood that works with city offi-
cials.
Representatives from a number of
churches offered prayers for children,
those who had lost loved ones, city offi-
cials like the mayor and police officers,
and the neighborhood.
“This is a new beginning, a new day,”
said the Rev. Joel Roman, senior pastor
at the Ministerio Casa de Oracion.
Mayor Kevin Mullin acknowledged
how these deaths have rocked the city.
“We’re only going to move forward
through partnership and lasting solu-
tions to the violence we’ve seen in the
last few months,” he said.
Karina Benavides, whose cousin 15-
year-old Jose Lopez Manuel, known as

supervisor and equipment service
worker slot are all currently vacant.
The bigger part of Monday night’s
budget discussion will be an update on
the city’s general fund and possibly
some direction on preparing the second
half of its two-year budget.
During the last fiscal year, the city cut
$6.15 million, or almost 8 percent of its
budget. This year, city officials have
said they need more, particularly due to
rising employee costs which are behind
nearly 80 percent of the city’s operating
expenses.
The question the City Council must
wrestle with is how to reach financial
stability — through a combination of
labor concessions, restructuring and
will lose $6 million and $350,000 in
child support collections will go to the
state general fund.
More specifically, the San Mateo
Medical Center will lose $3.94 million
in Medi-Cal funding because of service
caps, uncollected payments and a 10
percent reduction in provider reim-
bursement. The county will save
$535,378 by reductions in in-home aid
but 2,474 clients will lose approximate-
ly 224,424 hours of care.
Approximately 250 low-income, older
adults in need of nursing facilities will
be at risk as will approximately 139
older adults who need daytime supervi-
sion.
Changes to the Healthy Families pro-
gram, including the complete elimina-
tion of vision care, will affect approxi-
mately 10,599 children in the county
and early childhood services will be
dramatically affected by plans to shift
funding from the First 5 Commission.
The development was originally pro-
posed in 2006 for land adjacent to
Cordilleras Creek on the north side of
Finger Avenue. On May 19, 2009, the
Planning Commission voted 3 to 2 to
certify the mitigated negative declara-
tion but voted to deny the project itself.
The City Council denied the first appeal
of the decision but, that October, after
revisions to the plan, it voted 6 to 1 in

The loss of Pepe affected the family,
but the December killings changed the
neighborhood. Benavides noted the
death of the three youth as the turning
point, when it stopped feeling safe. The
mother of two boys, 6 and 11 years old,
Benavides won’t allow her children to
play at local parks anymore. She wants
to see that change and also see the rela-
tionship with the police improve.
Benavides has noticed an increased
presence of police, which is starting to
help, she said.
Richard Alvarez, who grew up in the
neighborhood and still has family in
Old Town, was on hand Saturday to
support change.
“I’m sorry that it had to take this to
bring a change,” Alvarez said, meaning
the number of deaths.
Alvarez pointed to better communi-
cation between police and the residents
as key to creating a safer neighborhood.
Although those lines, he was hopeful
police officers would keep the beat and
allow relationships to develop.
Faith played a large role in Saturday’s
event.
During the presentation, 18-year-old
Cindy Arevalo spoke about getting into
drinking and drugs at an early age but,
working through faith, she has walked
away from that dangerous lifestyle.
Anthony Harper, a member of the
new revenue or by cutting programs.
Despite these difficult decisions,
there are some brighter spots.
Transient occupancy, sales and
secured property taxes are assumed to
be up for fiscal year 2011-12 although

the planned presentation by Finance

New Hope Community Church, spoke
passionately about the wrong priorities
people have. Harper, who lives in South
San Francisco, said he had lost 25
friends before the age of 25.
“Not one more should die in South
San Francisco, in the Bay Area, in
Northern California. We will be bea-
cons of light,” he said, asking others if
they would help break the pattern of
violence or “will you allow the streets
to take another one of our kids?”
Family members of those killed were
each given a bouquet of flowers and a
balloon with a cross on it while others
prayed.
Jose Castaneda, who said Hector
Flores was like a son to him, was
moved by the gathering.
“This is an inspiration. A lot of these
kids don’t know what they’re missing,”
he said. Carmen Ruiz, who lost her son,
called the day beautiful.
“I know my son is with me,” she said.
For the city’s part, the council recent-
ly approved a $400,000 five-part plan
that calls for the hiring of four officers
over a two-year period. Some of the
money, $50,000, was allocated to create
a model neighborhood outreach plan
including input of residents, local
youth, school and city officials, non-
profit representatives and any other
stakeholder.

Monday, Feb. 7, 2010
Just because you may never have tested your entrepreneurial
skills doesn’t mean you won’t be successful. Some interesting
developments could occur for you once you open that door
and spread your wings.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Do not try to impose either a
position or a concept on others if they are unwilling to listen.
If they simply don’t want to hear it, turning up the heat won’t
change their minds.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Try to get out of loaning any
of your prized possessions, even if a close pal wants to do
the borrowing. It’s simply one of those days when people in
general can be accident-prone.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Pick a course and try to stick
to it if you want to accomplish something. If you don’t, there’s
a good chance you’ll jump from one project to another with
nothing to show for your efforts.
Unless there is a collective goal, no one is likely to work
together.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Be sure to map out a game plan for
the day, with a definite goal or direction in mind. Unless you
do so, you could easily drift off course and get hung up on
petty things that’ll get you no place.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - It’s nice to take an interest in
others, but excessive curiosity could draw you into the com-
plicated developments of another. Don’t poke your nose into
places where it doesn’t belong.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Important decisions should not
be made for absentees, so don’t presume to know what oth-
ers want or you could get yourself in a pickle by choosing
wrongly.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Consult everybody involved,
especially a superior, before making any changes to plans
that have already been made. Be safe, not sorry.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - There is a good chance you SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Avoid getting involved in

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Stop and think about what you CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Although arrangements Previous
are doing to be sure you don’t push your financial spending with both friends and business associates should work out

Super Bowl ads: Eminem,Roseanne,singing cowboys
By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In the Super Bowl of advertising,
Eminem was everywhere,
Roseanne Barr took a big hit from
a log and Joan Rivers became a
GoDaddy girl.
It was also hard to throw a Pepsi
can without hitting a car commer-
cial during Super Bowl XLV
between the Pittsburgh Steelers
and Green Bay Packers.
Automakers took advantage of
advertising’s biggest showcase to
try to show they’re back after two
tough years for the industry.
After avoiding the Super Bowl
for two years as it went in and out
of a government-led bankruptcy,
General Motors came back back
with five ads for Chevrolet. In one
ad, a seemingly mundane car deal-
ership ad is disrupted when a
Camaro suddenly morphs into the
Bumblebee character from the
“Transformers” movies. Chrysler
was expected to push the limits of
how long a Super Bowl ad could be
with a two-minute commercial fea-
turing rapper Eminem.
Overall, celebrities and humor
dominated the commercials, which
wooed 100 million-plus viewers at
cost of $3 million per 30 seconds.
Slapstick violence was the theme
of several of PepsiCo’s Pepsi Max
and Doritos ads, which were creat-
ed by consumers and voted on in an
online contest called crashthesu-
perbowl.com. A man got hit in the
crotch with a speeding can in one
ad, and a jogger got clocked on the
head with another flying can. A
man taunting a dog with Doritos
wound up underneath a glass door.
But Light ads included an

where the only thing that is made
over is a can of Bud Light on the
counter. A Budweiser ad showed
an intimidating cowboy belting out
Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer” after
he gets a Bud.
The Budweiser ad used the
brand’s trademark Clydesdale
horses subtly and effectively, said
Tim Calkins, Clinical Professor of
Marketing at the Kellogg School of
Management. “It kept the equity of
the Clydesdales, while at the same
time delivering more of a benefit
about the product,“ he said.

debuted three ads directed by
Christopher Guest (”A Mighty
Wind”), including a pregame com-
mercial that showed Cuba Gooding
Jr. in a fake public service ad.
Some funny and creative ads,
predictably, drew criticism for
being entertaining without doing
much to sell people on the item
being advertised.
Among those was an ad for
Lipton Brisk Iced Tea in which an
