House votes to curb regulators,cut spending

By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The
Republican-controlled House voted
to shield greenhouse-gas polluters
and privately owned colleges from
federal regulators on Friday,
strengthening the pro-business
emphasis of legislation that also
would chop $61 billion from gov-
ernment spending.
But as a final vote neared on the
sweeping measure, newly elected
conservatives suffered a rare set-
back when a split among rank-and-
file Republicans sank a move to cut
an additional $22 billion.
“The American people have spo-
ken. They demand that Washington
stop its out-of-control spending
now, not some time in the future,”
declared Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-
Kan., one of the 87 newly elected
Republicans who have moved
aggressively to attack federal
deficits and reduce government’s
reach.
But for other Republicans, the
extra $22 billion was a step too far.
“Rather than make careful deci-
sions on specific program the.
amendment hits everything indis-
criminately in a heavy-handed
way,” said Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky.,
and principal author of the broader
measure. “We were elected to make
choices, not run on automatic pilot.”
At the end of a week of sessions
stretching well past midnight, the
House moved toward a final vote on
the $1.2 trillion bill that is needed to
keep the government in operation
when existing funding authority
expires on March 4.
The measure, packed with cuts to
hundreds of federal programs and
terminations of others, faces a veto
threat from President Barack
Obama and implacable opposition
from majority Democrats in the
Senate. As a result, it is unclear how
much of it will ever become law.
At the same time, it has spawned
an intensifying political struggle
over spending, with current funding
for federal agencies due to expire in
two weeks.
Republicans and Democrats have

A jury will likely determine in May the com-

patients under the guise of medical examina-

A third doctor appointed by the court to
examine William Hamilton Ayres and break a
stalemate of two others asked Friday for two
more weeks to complete an evaluation. The
report is now set for March 4.
Regardless of which way the doctor’s find-

expected to request a jury trial on the issue.

to questions about Ayres’ ability to aid in his

Ayres has Alzheimer’s disease-related

McKowan has agreed Ayres may have some
dementia but has called the constant delays

After setting off two pipe bombs that injured

the chain saw but had problems. Youshock
was tackled by staff members and held until
police arrived.
He is charged as an adult with two counts of
attempted murder, one count of exploding a
destructive device with intent to commit mur-
der, one count of possession of a destructive
device in a public place, one count of the use
of explosives in an act of terrorism and two
counts of possession of a deadly weapon.

Last year, two doctors found Ayres compe-
tent and McDougall sought a jury trial. In
January, the morning of trial, one of the doc-
tors informed the court he had changed his
opinion, leading to Judge Jack Grandsaert halt-
ing proceedings and asking for the third report.
If Ayres is found incompetent, he will be
sent to a state mental hospital for treatment
rather than stand trial.
Ayres is accused of molesting six former
male patients when they were aged 9 to 13
between 1988 and 1996 under the guise of
medical exams. In July 2009, jurors dead-
locked in varied amounts on nine counts of
lewd and lascivious activity. Prosecutors
announced plans to retry Ayres.
Ayres has been free from custody on
$750,000 since shortly after his 2007 arrest.

Report: Redevelopment
cash used for other purposes
LOS ANGELES — Much of the
$5 billion a year in property taxes
that cash-strapped California sends
to cities across the state to promote
redevelopment isn’t used for that
purpose but to fund government
employee salaries and pay for
other day-to-day operations, the
Los Angeles Times reported
Friday.
With California struggling to bal-
ance its budget, Gov. Jerry Brown
has proposed eliminating the state’s
redevelopment program as a luxury
the state can no longer afford. He
wants to rechannel that money
instead to schools, counties and the
state itself.
Mayors of cities across the state
have strongly opposed the proposal,
saying redevelopment money is
something their municipalities can’t
survive without.
The city of Grand Terrace, for
example, uses a portion of its rede-
velopment money to pay part of the
salaries of 14 of its 20 employees,
the Times reported.

Lawmaker wants to shake
up high-speed rail board
A California state senator wants
to shake up the California High-
Speed Rail Authority’s governing
board by proposing to remove its
nine members by next January.
Democratic Sen. Alan Lowenthal
said Friday he introduced a bill that
proposes to replace them with
appointees who must meet specific
expertise and ethical criteria before
they can make critical decisions on
the planned system.
Lowenthal said in the past, board
members were appointed to pro-
mote high-speed rail when it was
just a vision. Now that the plan has
become more realistic with billions
at stake, he said the board members
must have financial, environmental,
engineering and construction
expertise.
The authority says it’s willing to
work with any lawmaker whose
“aim is to be constructive in helping
make the vision of high-speed rail a
reality.”
LOCAL/STATE
Dems push version of Brown’s budget
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Serious
budget negotiations are expected to
begin in the weeks ahead as budget
committees of the two legislative
houses adopted their own versions of
California’s spending plan Friday.
Assembly Democrats passed a
modified version of Gov. Jerry
Brown’s budget by majority vote
without Republican support.
Democrats in the Senate did the
same later in the day. From there, the
two plans will be consolidated into a
single package, leading to more
detailed negotiations between the
governor and legislative leaders.
“It is an extremely painful budget,
but we’re ready to adopt these very
tough cuts and ask voters to extend
tough taxes to solve California’s
deficit once and for all,” Democratic
Assemblyman Bob Blumenfield of
Van Nuys, chairman of the
Assembly Budget Committee, said
ahead of that committee’s vote.
Brown, a said, adding that he remains fairly
Democrat, has
proposed a com-
bination of
spending cuts
and temporary
tax extensions to
close a $26.6 bil-
lion deficit. He
Jerry Brown called for $12.5
billion in spend-
ing cuts, including reductions in
welfare, social services and higher
education, as well as $12 billion in
funding shifts and new revenue if
voters agree to extend temporary
taxes.
Increases to the sales, income and
vehicle taxes approved two years
ago are set to expire this year, but
Brown wants them extended for five
years.
He told reporters Friday afternoon
that he wanted Republicans to detail
cuts that are acceptable to them if
they don’t support putting the tax
question before voters. “The only
plan B is double the cuts,” Brown
THE DAILY JOURNAL
confident he can gain enough sup-
port for his plan.
He also wants to shift more
responsibility for public safety and
child welfare services to county and
city governments, while eliminating
local redevelopment agencies that
have been established to combat
blight and promote local develop-
ment projects. Brown said the addi-
tional property tax revenue generat-
ed by redevelopment projects should
go to local schools, courts and other
services.
He has argued that local govern-
ments are better positioned to oper-
ate programs that directly address
issues in their communities, but
local officials have said they are con-
cerned that the state might not pro-
vide enough money to fund the serv-
ices.
Democrats on the Senate budget
committee on Friday approved the
governor’s proposal to eliminate
redevelopment agencies without
Republican support.

Living as a mother in Gaza
Author,blogger Laila El-Haddad recounts family life in Middle East
By Emily DeRuy
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Journalist Laila El-Haddad start-
ed a blog in 2004 at the suggestion
of a cousin to keep her husband
apprised of the developments of the
couple’s young son.
An accomplished journalist and
pundit who has been published in
The Guardian Unlimited and BBC,
she and the baby were living in
Gaza while she worked for Al
Jazeera’s English site. Her husband,
an assistant professor of ophthal-
mology at Johns Hopkins Medical
School, remained thousands of
miles away in the United States,
unable to rejoin his family. A
Palestinian with refugee status, he
was and still is prevented from
entering Gaza.
El-Haddad had no experience
with the relatively new phenomenon
of blogging, but decided to give it a
try. What started out as a simple
family project, a site full of baby
pictures and
anecdotes about
toddler tenden-
cies, soon took
on a life of its
own. In
December 2004,
El-Haddad and
her son were
Laila El-Haddad detained in
Cairo for 55
days after Israel closed the Rafah
crossing into Gaza.
“That was the turning point,” said
El-Haddad. “It made me realize that
the personal is political for
Palestinians, and that the personal
can be overtaken by the political.”
Over half a decade into blogging
and still going strong, El-Haddad
recently authored a book, “Gaza
Mom: Palestine, Politics, Parenting
and Everything In Between,” that
chronicles her life as a Palestinian
mother and journalist living in Gaza
and the United States.
On Feb. 19, San Mateo residents
LOCAL
will have a chance to meet her.
Dove and Olive Works, a communi-
ty center in San Mateo shared by
Rebuilding Alliance and Reach and
Teach, will host a book signing and
discussion by El-Haddad about her
life as a mother raising children
between the United States and
Gaza. Both organizations aim to
promote peace and social justice,
and Rebuilding Alliance in particu-
lar focuses on rebuilding war-torn
Palestinian schools, parks and
homes. The book signing, they
hope, will draw attention to the
work non-governmental organiza-
tions do to aid the region.
“The book is a window into Gaza
during some of its most turbulent
years and into the violated but
resilient lives we live as
Palestinians,” said El-Haddad. “It is
a story about mothering, homeland,
identity, war and survival.”
Prior to her unintentionally long
stay in Cairo, she had kept her per-

Governor calls on Dems W
who fled Wis. to return
By Scott Bauer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. — Democrats
on the run in Wisconsin avoided
state troopers Friday and threat-
ened to stay in hiding for weeks,
potentially paralyzing the state
government in a standoff with
majority Republicans over union
rights for public employees.
Democrats also scored a victory
in the state Assembly, which
adjourned until at least Tuesday
without voting on a proposal that
seeks to ease the state’s budget
woes by cutting the pay, benefits
and collective bargaining rights of
teachers, prison guards and many
other workers.
The party’s battle against the
legislation is the boldest action yet
by Democrats to push back against
last fall’s GOP wave.
But the dramatic strategy that
has clogged the Capitol with thou-
sands of protesters clashes with
one essential truth: Republicans
told everyone months ago that
unions would be one of their tar-
gets, and the GOP now has more
than enough votes to pass its plans
once the Legislature can convene.
The 14 Senate Democrats left
the state Thursday, delaying
action in that chamber on the
sweeping bill. Among them was
Sen. Jon Erpenbach, who said
Friday that the group was pre-
pared to be away for weeks,
although he would prefer to end
the stalemate sooner.

may delay Alzheimer’s
By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Mastering a
second language can pump up your
brain in ways that seem to delay
getting Alzheimer’s disease later
on, scientists said Friday.
Never learned to habla or parlez?
While the new research focuses
mostly on the truly long-term bilin-
gual, scientists say even people who
tackle a new language later in life
stand to gain.
The more proficient you become,
the better, but “every little bit
helps,” said Ellen Bialystok, a psy-
chology professor at York
University in Toronto.
Much of the study of bilingualism
has centered on babies, as scientists
wondered why simply speaking to
infants in two languages allows
them to learn both in the time it
takes most babies to learn one.
Their brains seem to become more
flexible, better able to multitask. As
they grow up, their brains show bet-
ter “executive control,” a system
key to higher functioning — as
Bialystok puts it, “the most impor-
tant part of your mind.”
But does that mental juggling
while you’re young translate into
protection against cognitive decline
when you’re old?
Bialystok studied 450
Alzheimer’s patients, all of whom
showed the same degree of impair-
ment at the time of diagnosis. Half
are bilingual — they’ve spoken two
languages regularly for most of
their lives. The rest are monolin-
gual.

Letters to the editor
Stop the whining!
Editor,
I am so tired of these people, like
Henry Riggs (“Mayor Jeff Ira speaks
the truth” letter to the editor in the
Feb. 9 edition of the Daily Journal),
blaming city workers and their unions
for the woes of the city.
Riggs stated that we are “employed
for life and retire early with fantastic
pensions.” Sorry Riggs, the workers
you see out in the streets are among
the lowest paid city employees, work
longer for retirement, and sometimes
are the first to be let go.
People like Riggs need to wake up.
If you want to point fingers, look at
middle to upper management, police
and fire. We don’t get housing or car
allowances or make $100,000 plus
salaries.
We don’t get 3 percent at 50 for
retirement, or get bumped up the
ranks and claim disability just before
retirement so its tax free (see previ-
ous articles in the Post and Daily
Journal).
Hey Riggs, did you notice your
police department in Menlo Park just
got a 14 percent raise?
Many city employees are having to
take major cuts. Salary and benefits
are about 30 percent of what private
sector makes yet you don’t blame
them. When your sewer backs up or
storms threaten to flood your city,
these workers you see in the streets
are the first on the job, even at 3 a.m.
when you are snug in your bed.
Bill Bleich of San Mateo said it
perfectly in his letter to the editor
“Stop blaming public employees” in
the Jan. 25 edition of the Daily
Journal. Stop blaming public employ-
ees. Stop the whining.
Joseph Caprioni

Kreitman’s wrong
Editor,
Mr. Kreitman gets an F in econom-
ics and history.
First of all and most importantly,
the U.S. president is not responsible
for managing the economy any more
than you and I are. With billions of
transactions happening every day and
millions of businesses out there, it is
impossible for one such man with lit-
tle or no business experience to gath-
er all of the information necessary to
control everything.
Going back thirty years, didn’t a
Democratic Congress agree to tax
cuts? Didn’t Keynesians recommend

tax cuts during such bust cycles?
Didn’t the Fed chairman at the time
(Mr. Obama’s more recent left-hand
man) raise interest rates to control
inflation and to keep the Reagan
recession short lived? Mr. Kreitman
fails to mention all of these important
details.
Sorry if I come off as a historical
revisionist but, contrary to popular
opinion, the number of federal regu-
lations in the Federal Register has
gone up dramatically over the last 30
years. Take a closer look at all the
myriad areas of regulation that the
Federal Reserve does, just in credit
and housing.
Again, Mr. Kreitman fails to men-
tion any regulations that are suppos-
edly missing. We just keep getting
more and more fallacies about human
greed and jobs going overseas.
Human greed is an emotion that can-
not be controlled under any economic
system just like the laws of gravity
cannot be changed. Has Mr. Kreitman
ever heard of David Ricardo and the
theory of comparative advantage?
All 10 planks of the Communist
Manifesto have been U.S. law for
decades. Google it.
George Santayana once opined,
“Those who cannot remember the
past, are condemned to repeat it.”
That is precisely the reason why we
are all in a state of constant econom-
ic doom and rising commodity prices.
It has nothing to do with Mr.
Kreitman’s handy generalizations.

OPINION
Mubarak means the end of his
regime. Freedom and democracy do
not necessarily follow. We thought
that Iran was free after the departure
of the shah. It wasn’t, a more repres-
sive regime took over. Cuba is not
free, nor is Venezuela. Overthrowing
a dictator does not necessarily bring
freedom. More often than not, anoth-
er even more repressive dictator takes
over. Cuba, Venezuela and Iran are
excellent examples. The only country
in the area that has freedom and self
rule is Israel. Declaring freedom at
this time seems premature.

A revolting display
Editor,
I wholeheartedly agree with Don
Baraka in “Anti-abortion protesters”
in the Feb. 12 edition of the Daily
Journal that the anti-abortion protests
in front of Planned Parenthood
offices, operative or planned, are dis-
gusting, demeaning and an outra-
geous abuse of free speech.
However, although obviously tinged
with religious zealotry, I’m not will-
ing to accept that they are well-mean-
ing folks driven by sincere concern.
Concern for what or whom? Their
own image as holier than thou?
Gathering points for a future flight to
a destination that only exists in their
own twisted mind?
Don’t these characters understand
that the prime objective of Planned
Parenthood is to prevent unwanted
pregnancies through better sex educa-
tion and availability of birth control?
That is the best and most effective
way of avoiding abortions. Finally, as
the last resort in difficult situations,
whether result of carelessness or
force, abortion is a legal option and
nobody’s business besides those
directly affected.
It is the epitome of immorality to
use young women’s tragic dilemma to
promote their own sick agenda, like
the PP protesters enjoy doing.
And to think that such atrocities are
inspired and encouraged by an
immoral authority like the Catholic
church, makes it even more revolting.

the last elections and not let Obama and the current
administration wrestle with the unemployment and deficit
problems, which will not, likely, be solved in the next two
years before the 2012 elections. Even now, there are stirrings
of anger among
Republican voters for their
putting efforts to repeal or
defund the health care
reform act ahead of creat-
ing jobs.
It is now expected the
new majority will be the
lead team in the efforts to
cut the size of the national
government, expenses and
services. That is guaran-
teed to make angry a lot of
people who thought cutting
meant cutting others. As a
result, the Obama adminis-
tration will be able to sit
back, cluck at the heartlessness of the conservatives, and
begin toting up and gathering political talking points for the
2012 presidential elections.
First, because the Tea Party is the principal reason they
took so many seats in the House, they will need to confront
and attempt to co-op the eager new members who are holding
their feet to the fire with demands that much more cutting be
implemented, and right now! These are naive presumptions.
That may not be possible from the procedural point of view
without terminally disrupting the functioning of government.
These new congressional recruits have already lined up their
artillery, tanks and troops and installed several experienced
generals to lead the charge, especially “General George
Patton” Michele Bachmann, who is not known to take “no”
for an answer.
The deadly serious part is how the necessary moves to hold
back deficits and cut expenses can be accomplished.
Certainly, with those major slices of the economic pie, Social
Security, Medicare and the military taken off of the table and
the reluctance to take on “welfare and low taxes” for the rich
and the agricultural lobby, that leaves only the middle class,
the poor and the powerless to fleece.
That puts the Republicans between a rock and a hard place
because the revenge of the fleeced is in their numbers. It is
easy to guess who they will be voting for in 2012.
The hopes of substantially reducing the size of government
comes from that same fantasy fountain from which Ronald
Reagan sipped. It is already well documented that both
Reagan and George W. Bush left office with government larg-
er than when they started, but it makes good fantasy talking
points for the next election, anyway. There can be some trim-
ming, of course, but reducing the size throws enormous num-
bers of public servants into the employment lines of private
enterprises that shows no signs of dedicating more invest-
ments in our own country. With the Commerce Department
reporting there are hundreds of billions of tax cheating and
non-reporting (there could be as much as a trillion) already,
can you imagine if we cut down the number of IRS examin-
ing agents as the Republicans are slathering at the jaws to do?
This leaves me with the inescapable reality that the only
policy that will wipe out the great deficit is increased taxa-
tion.
Don’t shoot!

I was really taken by surprise at the successful political
blowup in Egypt. I really thought the first such would be in
Iran, with a much more developed country and highly educat-
ed young populace, attempting to free themselves to grow,
mature and move into the future with the rest of the devel-
oped world.
Outside of Israel, the Middle East is packed with terminally
frustrated youth, sick of the old men who are holding them
down militarily or with antiquated religious beliefs, or both.
Many are, particularly, angry about the second-class status of
women.
George W. Bush said the Muslims in the Middle East hate
our freedoms. He was wrong. They envy our freedoms and
cultures and aspire to achieve them.
What it is doing now is putting the scare into the other
autocracies in the region and the rulers of Algeria, Libya, the
Saudi Arabian Peninsula and Jordan have been put on notice.
Just one more example of my observations that conserva-
tives — those who wish to hold back inevitable and irre-
sistible change to their own benefit — always lose.
And that is true in our own nation, also. The problem here
is now that Obama, who promised to recognize change and
be a facilitator for it, is falling far short of his promise and
losing a good number of his base by not doing so. The
Republicans may not need to defeat him in 2012. He may be
defeating himself.

Auto union must look out for companies

By Tom Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — The United Auto
Workers’ mission used to be simple —
fight Detroit’s automakers for better pay
and job security.
But things got more complex when the
government bailed out General Motors
and Chrysler two years ago in a deal that
left the union with big chunks of stock in
both companies. Now the UAW has to
be both owner and worker advocate,
essentially sitting on both sides of the
bargaining table.
The tricky dual role is causing prob-
lems for union leaders, and in particular
UAW president Bob King, as they pre-
pare for contract talks later this year.
“That conflict of interest, I think,
should probably be illegal,” says Nick
Waun, who works at a GM plant in Ohio
and says King should put workers first.
In 2009, when GM and Chrysler near-
ly collapsed, the companies were
allowed to use stock rather than cash to
pay into UAW trust funds that cover
health care costs for about 800,000
retirees. With bankruptcy looming for
the automakers, the union was faced
with taking the stock or risking getting
nothing.
The trusts now own about 13 percent
of GM stock, which is publicly traded,
and 65 percent of Chrysler, which is pri-
vately owned but could go public later
this year. The trusts can sell the stock to
help pay bills.
King, 64, contends union members
will benefit if the companies’ stock
prices go up. He has tried to position the
union as a business partner rather than
an adversary of Detroit’s car companies.
Angry union members say he’s more
concerned about profits than winning
back raises and benefits surrendered by
the union the last six years. And if
enough of them doubt his motives, they
could reject any contract he brings back
from the negotiating table and force up
labor costs — just as General Motors
Co. and Chrysler Group LLC are start-
ing to recover from bankruptcy and gain
ground against rivals.

Ford plans to team Business briefs

with Sollers in Russia
DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. is teaming up
with Russian automaker Sollers to make and
distribute cars in Russia, one of the fastest
growing auto markets.
Under a deal announced Friday, Sollers will
build Fords at Russian plants, helping boost a
struggling local industry. Ford will have
access to a huge market that could bolster its
revenues.
Financial details weren’t disclosed, but the
automakers said they will have equal stakes in
their joint venture called Ford Sollers. Ford
declined to give production or sales targets for
the venture.
The announcement came shortly after
Italian automaker Fiat SpA backed out of a
potential partnership with the same Russian
company. The unraveling of the Fiat Sollers
venture gave Ford an opportunity to step in.
Ford and Sollers are expected to finalize
their deal in June. The venture’s operations
could start by year’s end.
The Dearborn, Mich., company began sell-
ing cars directly to Russians in 2002, and like
many car makers is eager to expand business
there as demand improves.
While domestic auto companies in Russia
have been struggling, the market itself has
been gaining strength. Car sales in Russia rose
by 30 percent last year to 1.9 million, accord-
ing to the Moscow-based Association of
European Businesses. Nine of the 10 best-sell-
ing models were produced locally, while Ford
Focus was in the top five best-sellers.
Ford’s sales in Russia increased to 91,000 in
2010 from 82,000 the year before, but they
haven’t grown as fast as the rest of the market.
Ford needs to grow in emerging markets such
as Russia, Brazil, India and China to maintain
momentum. The company’s market share in
the U.S., the most profitable region in the
world, isn’t expected to increase dramatically
even though it has returned to profitability. It
is relying on markets outside the U.S. to
increase sales.
Alaska Air adds flights

currently flies between Oakland and Maui
four times a week and between San Jose and

The airline plans to discontinue flights
between San Jose and Austin, Texas on May 6.
It will continue to fly nonstop between Seattle

South City upsets rival Mills gets by

Burlingame to play
for fourth straight
PAL tournament title
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Saturday’s Peninsula Athletic League boys
tournament final will be brought you by the
number four.
On one hand, you’ll have the three-time
defending champion Burlingame Panthers,
who will be gunning for their fourth title in
succession. And on the other, you’ll have a
South San Francisco team that capitalized on a
fourth opportunity to beat a rival and stamp
their ticket to the tournament final.
Behind a 19-point, second-half performance
by junior guard Marquis Johnson, the Warriors
finally got past El Camino 49-46 to advance to
their first PAL tournament final since 2006
when they won it all.
“We played well the last three weeks,” said
South City coach Jorge Chevez. “This is the
fourth time we’ve played them (and) in a rival-
ry game, anything can happen. I knew we
would have a good shot, especially on a neutral
court.”
South City erased an eight-point deficit after
the first period by taking advantage of a Colts
team that didn’t take care of the basketball in
the second quarter — El Camino committed
seven turnovers.
The Colts actually jumped out to that 17-9
lead by shooting 35 percent from the floor and
riding the hot start of Anthony Knight and his
eight points.
But by the time the horn sounded marking
the end of the half, South City had tied it up at
20. Along with those seven turnovers, the Colts
shot under 10 percent in the second quarter.
It didn’t take South City long to take the lead
to start the second half. After an El Camino
bucket, Johnson and company came down the
court and hit the first of three long distance
calls to give the Warriors the 23-22 advantage.
It was also a sign of things to come for

Vikings will face Terra
Nova, which is going
for third tourney title
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Following the Mills girls’ basketball team’s
38-37 win over Half Moon Bay in the
Peninsula Athletic League tournament quar-
terfinals Thursday, coach Dave Matsu took 20
minutes reading his team the riot act.
The Vikings virtually slept walked through
the second half against the Cougars, scoring
just 10 points. Matsu said his team showed no
energy, no spark.
“He broke it down for us,” said Mills post
player Lexi Chierici.
The Vikings must have been listening,
because less than 24 hours later, Mills took the
court against San Mateo Friday afternoon in a
tournament semifinal game. Chierici scored
the first six points of the game and the Vikings
never looked back, beating the Bearcats for the
third time this season, 44-38.
“I was pleased with the aggressiveness,”
Matsu said. “[Friday], we executed the whole
game.”
Mills will play two-time defending tourna-
ment champion Terra Nova at 6 p.m. Saturday
at Burlingame in the championship game. The
Tigers rolled past Burlingame, 73-50.
San Mateo has one of the most lethal out-
side-inside combinations in the PAL in post
player Jane Hafoka and do-everything guard
Grayce Ujihara. The Vikings, however, did an
excellent job keeping both in check. Hafoka
finished with just two points, while Bay
Division Player of the Year Ujihara scored
only 11 points — all in the second half.
“When my top scorer (Ujihara) doesn’t
score … it’s a tough game,” said San Mateo
coach Nancy Dinges. “They were really phys-
ical on her.”

USF maximizing players’ abilities

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The laptop
screen showed that Cody Doolin’s
heart rate had reached the red zone,
meaning he was giving his maxi-
mum effort during a recent basket-
ball practice at the University of San
Francisco.
The freshman guard is one of the
team’s hardest workers and among
its fittest players, typically burning
1,700 calories over the course of a
40-minute game. These days, the
coaches know this not just based on
a hunch but because they have sci-
entific evidence to prove it.
San Francisco’s men’s basketball
program invested $10,000 this sea-
son for its athletes to wear heart rate
monitors in both practices and
games, and even for workouts in the
weight room.
Dons director of strength and con-
ditioning Evan Nielsen and director
of basketball operations Jack
Kennedy watch and monitor each
player’s exertion every day.
When a grid on the laptop reveals
a player has reached his max heart
rate, signaled by a red number in the
color-coded software program,
coach Rex Walters is told it’s time to
sit him down for a break.
“It’s automatic, for the most part,”
Kennedy said. “As soon as we see
somebody getting in the red, we’re
telling coach they’ve got to come
out.”
In fact, Nielsen provides the
coaching staff with nightly reports
breaking down the players’ outputs
and how hard they worked down to
a given drill, and even a chart show-
ing how long it will take for an ath-
lete to recover after a game.
Doolin, for example, played 37
minutes in a 68-62 victory over rival
Santa Clara on Feb. 5. Nielsen
determined — from the monitoring
program developed by Polar USA
— that the point guard needed from
that Saturday night until Tuesday to
be full strength again. Doolin was
given Sunday and Monday off,
returning to the court for Tuesday’s
practice last week.
Walters is able to pull players out
for a rest based on what the data
tells him, making it hard to argue
such a move.
“It’s something different but it’s
pretty useful,” Doolin said.
“Sometimes as a player you don’t
want to come out. Everybody wants
to play the whole game. I think it’s
good because we stay fresh and I
think we close out the end of games
pretty well.”
Wearing the monitors is a health
and safety precaution but also a
strategic move by the Dons, who

Tejada eager to get started
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Miguel Tejada got an
immediate glimpse of the hype surrounding his
new team when a camera crew filmed the short-
stop just sitting at his locker preparing to go out-
side and hit.
Tejada is one of few fresh faces around the
World Series champion San Francisco Giants,
whose roster remains nearly intact from last fall’s
improbable title run.
Tejada reported to spring training Friday
thrilled to put on his new uniform and finally take
the field. He saw the Giants from the other side 4
1/2 months ago, as part of the San Diego Padres
team eliminated from playoff contention on the
season’s final day at AT&T Park. He watched on
television as the Giants won their first champi-
onship since 1954 and first since moving West to
San Francisco in 1958.
Now, Tejada wants to help San Francisco
defend its NL West crown and make another deep
October postseason run.
“I’m the new guy,” Tejada said with a smile.
“It’s pretty cool. I’m really honored and thank the
San Francisco Giants for choosing me to be the
guy to help them repeat. From the first day of
spring training, we’re thinking about winning. I’m
a winner.”

A’s looking for repeat performance from Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Gio Gonzalez works the
room in the Oakland Athletics clubhouse as
well as he works the plate.
Before the team takes the field, he stops at
just about every dressing cubicle, telling a
joke, imparting wisdom, swinging a fungo.
He takes the pulse and increases it if he sens-
es the need.
“I’m not necessarily trying to be a leader,
but you’ve got to know your teammates.
You’ve got to break the ice,” he said. “A lot of
these guys played here before. Some didn’t.
They’re fresh faces. You want to make them
feel loose, not feel so smothered. After all,
you’re with these guys for eight, nine
months.”
The left-hander developed into one of the
most reliable starters on the team last season,
posting a 15-9 record with a 3.23 ERA. He did
not miss a start — 33 games.
He and the team are looking for a repeat
performance, or an even better one, and he has
the confidence that he can do it. The reason,
he said, is that he has matured into a better

er and offered a hello handshake. Once outside,
Tejada — appearing as fit as ever at age 36 after
another winter of tough workouts — signed auto-
graphs for a small section of fans watching pitch-
ers warm up at Scottsdale Stadium.
“He looks strong,” reliever Santiago Casilla
said.
Hall of Famer Willie Mays was around Friday
and signed a table near Tejada’s locker.
He may be the new guy, but the Giants know
plenty about Tejada, too. A 14-year big league
veteran, he won the 2002 AL MVP across San
Francisco Bay with the Oakland Athletics.
“He’s great,” said pitcher Barry Zito, who won
the AL Cy Young Award in 2002 with Oakland.
Giants general manager Brian Sabean has said
he long admired Tejada, dating to the shortstop’s
days as a fan favorite with the A’s. Tejada received
a $6.5 million, one-year free agent deal in
overall pitcher, physically
and mentally.
“I’m learning to make
adjustments, not spiral out
of control mentally if
something goes wrong,”
he said. “I’m learning to
let my defense work for
me. Strikeouts are good if
Gio Gonzalez you can get them, but they
are not the only reason for
success.”
He recalls conversations with former
Oakland pitcher Justin Duchscherer, now with
Baltimore.
“He said, ’Would you rather have 15 strike-
outs in five innings or have eight strong
innings with only two strikeouts,”’ said
Gonzalez, who had 171 last season.
“It’s easy to say “strikeouts,’ but then you
start to think the other way. It took awhile for
me to understand that, but a lot of it makes
sense.”
The learning process continues by analyz-
ing opposing hitters. Many do that by watch-
ing video, but Gonzalez said he seems to get
December to join San Francisco.
The Giants will hold their first full-squad spring
practice Saturday.
“He seems very excited to be here,” manager
Bruce Bochy said. “He’s got so much energy.
He’s looking forward to getting out there and get-
ting after it tomorrow.”
Tejada played 156 games last season with
Baltimore and San Diego, batting .269 with 15
home runs, 26 doubles and 71 RBIs. He had an
on-base percentage of .312 and slugged .381.
The Padres declined to offer Tejada salary arbi-
tration.
He knows a fresh start with the reigning champs
isn’t a bad fallback. Returning to the Bay Area
where he was so welcomed and loved had huge
appeal when the Giants pursued him this winter.
“It feels real,” Tejada said Friday morning,
pulling out all his new black and orange gear.
“I’ve been waiting the whole offseason for the
moment to come to spring training. Everybody
back home said, ’Miguel, you’re going to be a
champion.’ It’s a great opportunity. I can’t wait to
take the field.”
Tejada returned home to the Dominican
Republic after San Diego’s elimination in October
and quickly was asked by reporters who he picked
to win the World Series.
His response: the Giants. It was a bold call, San
Francisco over the favored Philadelphia Phillies to
win it all.
more out of seeing the hitters in person.
Growing along with some of the other
starters in what is one of the American
League’s best young rotations involves talking
with his colleagues.
“We build that friendship and we are there
for each other,” he said. “We talk about certain
hitters. We have a friendly competition. They
are fun to watch and be around.”
It is a rotation that, according to Oakland
manager Bob Geren, “not too many managers
wouldn’t trade for. There’s not just quality, but
youth.”
NOTES: Geren will use several players at
shortstop as he eases starter Cliff Pennington
(left shoulder) back into action, probably by
the second week of spring games. Backup
Adam Rosales (right foot) might not be ready
until May 1. ... Kurt Suzuki will start most
games at catcher, and Josh Donaldson is push-

Dontrelle Willis gets
a chance from Reds
GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Out of a job before his
30th birthday, left-hander Dontrelle Willis was
looking for another chance. It came in a phone
call with someone he knows
very well.
Dusty Baker’s wife knew
Willis when he was a
youngster, forging some-
thing of an extended-family
bond. The Reds manager
called Willis over the off-
season and suggested he
sign a minor league deal
Dontrelle Willis with Cincinnati, which
could use him in the
bullpen.
Even though Willis has been a starter his entire
career, he took the offer. The former NL Rookie
of the Year and two-time All-Star is pitching for
his fifth team in two years. Willis was known as
D-Train when he took Florida by storm in 2003
and led the Marlins to the World Series.
OF Jim Edmonds retires at 40
JUPITER, Fla. — St. Louis Cardinals outfield-
er Jim Edmonds has announced his retirement at
age 40.
Edmonds injured his right Achilles’ tendon
while rounding the bases after a home run last
September for Cincinnati and never played again.
Edmonds signed a minor league contract with
the Cardinals this month and was still undergoing
treatment. But team doctors told Edmonds the
injury was so severe he would not be medically
cleared to play, and that he could hurt himself
even more,
The popular center fielder was a four-time All-
Star and eight-time Gold Glove winner in 17 sea-
sons. He helped the Cardinals win the 2006
World Series.
Edmonds said Friday that he felt it was best to
retire now.
Bradley ready to compete
for job with Mariners
PEORIA, Ariz. — Milton Bradley wasn’t
touching questions Friday about his recent legal
troubles, electing instead to focus solely on base-
ball. On that subject, he was much more forth-
coming.
Bradley said after his workout that he’s not
fazed by having to compete for a starting job this
year.
The Mariners picked Bradley up in a trade last
offseason and have stuck with him through trou-
bled times.
Bradley spent two weeks away from the team
last May to deal with emotional issues. He went
on the disabled list in July with a torn meniscus
in his right knee and never played again last sea-

come out and give whoever is across from us our best shot.”
3-point attempt, sunk all three from the chari-
ty stripe.
But the night belong to Johnson and he
showed it on the ensuing possession when he
drained another trifecta to give the Warriors
the lead 45-43.
“He’s our rock,” Chevez said of Johnson. “I
had a lot of expectations for him as a junior
this year and he hasn’t let me down. He hasn’t
let the team down. He’s our main guy. He’s
been amazing all year. I just think of the world
of that kid.”
El Camino wasn’t done yet. Tuason kept his
torrid pace, knocking down yet another 3-
pointer as the two teams went back and fourth.
But after hitting a big shot, Tuason also com-
mitted a blunder on the defensive end, not only
fouling Smith but then getting whistled for a
technical foul by taunting Smith. South City
would hit two of the four free throws to take
the lead back.
With time winding down, the Colts were
forced to foul the rest of the way. The strategy
almost worked when Raymond Estrada miss
— Jorge Chevez, South City coach
both ends of the double penalty and Tuason
grabbed the rebound — calling a time-out with
4.2 seconds left in the game.
But Knight’s 3-point prayer at the buzzer
went unanswered to preserve the win for the
Warriors.
“We have one more game (as member of the
PAL Bay Division),” Chevez said. “We’ll
come out and give whoever is across from us
our best shot.”
That team will be Burlingame, who’s run
through the PAL tournament continued in a
relatively easy 56-47 win over Terra Nova.
Missing the services of big man Kyle
Shaffer, who suffered an injury during
Thursday night’s game against Jefferson, the
majority of the load fell on the shoulder of
recently announced PAL Bay Division Most
Valuable Player Rodrigo Puliceno. The big-
man did not disappoint and got plenty of help
from Zac Grotz who scored a game-high 23
points. The senior was red-hot from beyond
the arc, hitting 5 of 7 shots from the Land of
Plenty.
Weekend• Feb. 19-20, 2011 13
For his part, Puliceno had seven points and
10 rebounds.
Freshmen Nick Loew was asked to fill the
role left by Shaffer and the youngster showed
signs of future greatness. He scored eight
points, pulled down seven rebounds and col-
lected three steals.
The Tigers could not recover from a slow
offensive start. They went 3-of-12 from the
floor in the first period and found themselves
trailing by seven after the first quarter. They
cut that deficit to five at the half following a
quarter in which they shot 60 percent from the
floor. But if that was good, Burlingame was
better. The Panthers did turn the ball over five
times in the frame, but shot 75 percent (6 of 8)
in maintaining that early lead.
Ivan Mailangi, a junior, did his best to keep
Terra Nova in the ball game — he scored 12
points in the game to lead the Tigers. But their
quarter of exceptional shooting was followed
by a woeful one in which they went 2 of 9, aid-
ing Burlingame in rebuilding a nine-point lead
going into the final period.
The Panthers have owned the PAL tourna-
ment in recent years and haven’t lost a tourna-
ment game since 2007 when they lost in the
first round to Menlo-Atherton.

good job of staying in front of Ujihara and
forcing her to work for every shot. Uijhara
was 0-for the first half and just 5 for 20 in the
second half.
“Our thing was to contain (Ujihara) and get
a hand up,” Matsu said.
Chierici said the key to stopping Hafoka
was to prevent her from going to her favorite
move — a spin in the post toward the basket.
“We knew she wanted to turn to the right,”
Chierici said.
“It wasn’t [Hafoka’s] night either,” Dinges
said.
Chierici, on the other hand, was virtually
unstoppable Friday afternoon. After scoring
10 points against Half Moon Bay Thursday,
she came back with an 18-point, nine-rebound
effort Friday against San Mateo. While
Chierici is mostly known for her work around
the basket, she has actually extended her
range this season. She was nearly automatic
on shots around the free-throw line and in one
instance she was feeling especially frisky,
knocking down an 18-foot jumper.
The Vikings shot the ball much better
against San Mateo Friday than they did
against Half Moon Bay Thursday. Against the
Bearcats, the Vikings shot 50 percent from the
field in both the first and fourth quarters.

Mills guard Kristen Lastofka drives to the
basket during the Vikings’44-38 win over San
Mateo in a PAL tournament semifinal game.
While their shooting percentage dipped in the
other two quarters, it wasn’t enough to deny
them the win.
After jumping out to the quick 6-0 lead, San
Mateo came back with a 6-2 run before
Chierici knocked down a jumper and Lastofka
drove the lane for the bucket, the foul and a
converted free throw for a three-point play as
Mills led 13-6 after the first quarter.
While San Mateo trailed the entire game,
the Bearcats were never down more than 10
points. Mills extended its lead to 19-10 with
5:10 left in the first half, but the Bearcats fin-
ished the half on a 7-2 run to cut their deficit
to just four, 21-17, at halftime.
San Mateo cut its deficit to two by scoring
the first basket of the second half on Ujihara’s
first made bucket of the game, but Mills
responded by going on a 8-0 run to open up its
biggest lead of the game, 29-19.
San Mateo, however, battled back, closing
the quarter on a 7-2 run to trail by five going
into the final eight minutes.
It was a deficit the Bearcats were stuck on
for most of the fourth quarter. Down nine with
5:32 to play, San Mateo closed to 37-34 when
Ujihara banked home a long jumper.
It was as close as the Bearcats would get as
the Vikings finished the game with a 7-4 run.
“We knew it would be a close game,”
Dinges said.
Said Matsu: “We were a little more active
[Friday] night. It was a better effort tonight.”
Terra Nova 73, Burlingame 50
The Tigers are already a handful when
Terilyn Moe and Ivyonne Cook-Taylor are on
the their game — and they were Friday night
THE DAILY JOURNAL
against Burlingame.
But when the Tigers get contributions from
others, they can be downright scary.
Burlingame found that out first hand in a PAL
tournament semifinal game Friday night at
Burlingame as the Tigers put a 73-50 beat down
on the Panthers.
Terra Nova, the two-time Bay Division and
tournament champion, had four players score in
double figures. Moe went for a game-high 28
and Taylor-Cook added 15. But the Tigers also
got 14 points from Malia Elliott Tufono and 12
points from Mailiyah Alapati as the Tigers
pulled away from the Panthers in the second
half.
In addition to her 15 points, Cook-Taylor also
pulled down 13 rebounds — 11 in the second
half.
Burlingame was led by Dana Michaels’ 14
points. Lauren Rally added 11 for the Panthers.
Despite the final score, Burlingame was actu-
ally in the game at halftime, down 12, 39-27.
This despite the fact Terra Nova scored 23 points
in the first quarter alone.
Burlingame cut its deficit to six points, 27-21,
when Michaels knocked down a 3-pointer with
4:20 left in the first half. Terra Nova responded,
however, with a 10-0 run fueled by Cook-Taylor
and Moe and led by 12 at halftime.
The Tigers put the game away with a 24-point
third quarter, turning their 39-27 halftime lead
into a 63-37 advantage heading into the final
quarter. Terra Nova had five different players
score in the third quarter.

Couples turns back the clock at Riviera

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Fred Couples does not
look like he belongs atop the leaderboard on
the PGA Tour.
Except that he’s at Riviera.
Despite a bad back that hurts when he
stoops over a short iron, Couples navigated
around his favorite tour course without a
bogey Friday for a 5-under 66 that gave him a
two-shot lead in the Northern Trust Open.
It helped that he knocked in an eagle putt of
nearly 100 feet on his opening hole, along
with a pair of 30-foot birdie putts. But even
for a 51-year-old well past his prime, he was
carried along by a languid swing and his love
for Riviera.
“I feel like I can play this course blindfold-
ed,” Couples said.
Some of his peers couldn’t believe what
they saw.
“He played like he was my age,” said 25-
Sept. 21, 2009, workout in which she had
year-old Anthony Kim, who was paired with
Couples and was nine shots behind. “He was
loose, swinging hard. He hit some quality
shots, some aggressive shots. It doesn’t hurt
that he’s won here a couple of times. He just
knows what he’s doing out here.”
Couples first played Riviera three years
before Kim was born. He won in 1990 and
1992, back when his hair was brown, not
mostly gray, and when he didn’t have to get up
at 4 a.m. to stretch out his back so he could
basketball programs are using the monitors,
make it to the first tee.
It was tough for others, too. The wind and
rain arrived in the afternoon, making Riviera
so difficult that some medium-length hitters
couldn’t reach the par-4 18th with a driver and
a 3-wood.
Of those who didn’t finish the round before
it was suspended by darkness, Spencer Levin
was at 6 under with three holes remaining,
while Aaron Baddeley was at 5 under with
four holes to play.

have begun the West Coast Conference season
at 8-3 for their best league start since 1982.
“Statistics show more turnovers happen,
there’s worse shot selection and decision-
making when you’re in the red — the anaero-
bic threshold,” Kennedy said.
The NFL’s Atlanta Falcons began using the
heart rate technology this past season. Polar
has approximately 200 systems across the
country from the NFL, Major League
Baseball, the NBA, U.S. Soccer, some
Olympic teams and in collegiate athletics. In
addition, heart rate monitors have become a
presence in some public school districts to
monitor students in physical education class-
es.
Heart issues hit close to home in the WCC
— and in San Francisco. Loyola Marymount
star Hank Gathers collapsed and died on the
court in 1990. More recently, top California
women’s basketball recruit Tierra Rogers was
diagnosed with a rare heart condition after a
trouble breathing and later collapsed at Haas
Pavilion outside the training room. The prep
star from San Francisco saw her college
career end before it began.
In Seattle, there was also former University
of Washington women’s basketball player
Kayla Burt, whose heart stopped on New
Year’s Eve 2002. She has her teammates to
thank for performing CPR that kept her alive.
Burt had a defibrillator implanted and
returned to basketball, but the device went off
during a game in her senior season of 2006
and her career ended.
“We all want to win, but these guys’ lives
are our responsibility,” said Nielsen, the USF
strength coordinator. “First and foremost, my
primary concern for every one of these ath-
letes is their health.”
So, are the Dons setting a trend nationally?
“It could be,” said Dr. Ken Akizuki, a team
doctor for both USF and the World Series
champion San Francisco Giants. “It’s an
added piece of information. It could help in
safety and performance, but I would empha-
size the safety factor.”
Polar estimates about 15 Division I college
though a number of schools utilize them in
other sports, too.
Considering this is USF’s first season doing
it, Walters isn’t ready to say for sure that the
monitors have contributed to his team’s suc-
cess — but he is pretty sure it hasn’t hurt the
Dons’ fortunes, either.
“This type of conditioning is absolutely
leading edge,” Polar president Jeff Padovan
said. “Not just at the pro level or the collegiate
level but also at the high school. At least once
a year in the summer or the dead of heat, you
hear about a player who dies — whether it’s
exhaustion, dehydration or a heart issue.
Every time I hear of that, I shudder. There are
technologies out there that provide real-time
data on how they’re being stressed in what
they’re being asked to do.”
USF has won all three of its overtime
games, including a thrilling 96-91 victory
over perennial conference powerhouse
Gonzaga on Jan. 22.
“You’re always trying to find the fine line
between hard work and overwork, training
and overtraining,” Walters said. “We just
wanted to be as smart as we could with how
to understand our guys’ bodies. When they’re
going too hard, that’s how fatigue and injuries
occur. As a coach, it gives you peace of mind
knowing your guys are giving you all they’ve
got and I’m not pushing them beyond their
boundaries.”
In a 94-88 loss at Pepperdine on Jan. 29,
Walters gave his players the choice to not
wear the monitors for a change. They all
removed them and the staff is certain fatigue
late in the game contributed to the loss. By
Monday’s practice, the monitors were back
on. Players wear a black strap around their
lower chest under a jersey. The monitors are
two-inch plastic devices comparable in shape
and size to a keyless car entry remote. They
send a wireless signal to the computer.
The Dons are going to take the heart moni-
toring to a new level this spring, when they
will put players through a VO2max test to
determine an individual’s maximum capacity
to transport and use oxygen to make muscles
function. Having that information on each
young man will make the statistics from the
heart monitors even more meaningful and
useful.

hints of a psychiatric defense have abounded
since Elarms’ arrest.
Elarms and Lewis, a former felon and
well-known drug counselor, knew each other
as teenagers in East Palo Alto, according to
law enforcement and acquaintances who
spoke after Elarms’ arrest. Elarms allegedly
followed Lewis from the San Mateo Medical
Center, where Lewis performed HIV and
AIDS outreach, to the San Mateo shopping
center parking structure where he pulled a
weapon and fired just before 6 p.m. June 9.
Lewis, 54, survived the attack long enough
to utter the name “Greg” but was pronounced
dead at the hospital later that evening.
Although armed with that information,
police made no arrests until after Elarms
called them himself Dec. 18.
Prosecutors will not say exactly what
Elarms told police. They also say Lewis and
Elarms knew each other through the hospital
although it is unclear in what capacity.
Lewis co-founded Free at Last, a 15-year-
old East Palo Alto-based nonprofit agency
that provides services for recovering drug
addicts, after struggles with addiction him-
self. Lewis went to San Quentin State Prison
at age 19 and, after 15 years, returned to East
Palo Alto.
Elarms has an extensive criminal history
dating back to 1969, but the majority are
crimes like attempted robbery and drugs in
the mid-1980s.
In Lewis’ death, he is charged with murder
and gun charges plus a special allegation of
lying in wait that could carry the death
penalty. He has pleaded not guilty.
Elarms remains in custody without bail.

Bahrain security forces fire on protesters
By Hadeel Al-Shalchi and Barbara Surk
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANAMA, Bahrain — Security forces
opened fire Friday on Bahraini protesters for
a second straight day, wounding at least 50
people as thousands defied the government
and marched toward Pearl Square in an
uprising that sought to break the political
grip of the Gulf nation’s leaders.
Once again, Bahrain authorities showed no
hesitation in using force against demonstra-
tors who ramped up demands to bring down
the whole ruling monarchy.
U.S. President Barack Obama condemned
the use of violence against the protesters in
Bahrain, as well as in Libya and Yemen,
where heavy crackdowns by old-guard
regimes were reported. A Libyan doctor said
35 protesters were killed in the eastern city
Egyptians mass in Cairo
to mark fall of Mubarak
By Ben Hubbard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO — Egyptians thronged again to
Tahrir Square on Friday, one week after the
downfall of Hosni Mubarak, in a sun-splashed
victory celebration of dancing, singing and
flag-waving — but also serious resolve to
pressure the country’s military rulers to imple-
ment reform.
The military allowed — even encouraged —
the celebrations. But it gave its strongest
warning yet against a wave of labor strikes
of Benghazi during a confrontation with
security forces, while four people were killed
and 48 were wounded during protests called
as part of a “Friday of Rage” in Yemen.
The continuing wave of anger in the Arab
world followed successful uprisings in
Tunisia and Egypt, where hundreds of thou-
sands of people celebrated the downfall of
President Hosni Mubarak one week ago.
Critically injured protesters were again
rushed to Manama’s main Salmaniya hospi-
tal, which also received the dead and wound-
ed after riot police smashed a protest
encampment early Thursday in the landmark
square.
Some doctors and medics on emergency
medical teams were in tears as they tended to
the wounded. X-rays showed bullets still
lodged inside victims.
“This is a war,” said Dr. Bassem Deif, an
that erupted in parallel with the massive anti-
government political protests and have hit
Egypt’s economy hard the past week. In a
statement, the military said it would no longer
allow “illegal” demonstrations that stop pro-
duction and will take action against them.
The crowd in downtown Cairo’s Tahrir
Square appeared to spiral well beyond the
quarter-million that massed for the biggest of
the anti-Mubarak protests. The rally was
called by protest leaders to press their
demands on the military to take greater action
to remove regime figures who still hold con-
siderable power.

bullet-shattered bones.
Of the 50 injured, seven were critically
hurt, Health Ministry official said. Seven
people have died in Bahrain’s unrest this
week, including five on Thursday, and more
than 200 have been wounded.
Protesters on Friday described a chaotic
scene of tear gas clouds, bullets coming from
many directions and people slipping in pools
of blood as they sought cover. Some claimed
the gunfire came from either helicopters or
sniper nests.
An Associated Press cameraman saw army
units shooting anti-aircraft weapons, fitted
on top of armored personnel carriers, above
the protesters, in apparent warning shots and
attempts to drive them back from security
cordons about 200 yards (200 meters) from
the square.

Egypt to allow Iranian
vessels through Suez Canal
CAIRO — Egypt has agreed to allow two
Iranian naval vessels to transit the Suez Canal
to the Mediterranean, a military official said
Friday, ending several days of confusion over
their planned passage, which Israel’s foreign
minister has labeled a provocation.
An Iranian diplomat has said the vessels
were heading to Syria for training and that the
request to move through the canal is in line
with international regulations.
It would be the first time since Iran’s cleri-
cal rulers came to power in the 1979 Islamic
Revolution that naval vessels from the country
have passed through the canal to the
Mediterranean.

By Jeremy Venook
S
ometimes, I really regret
listening to the political
news in the mornings.
There I was in the car last Friday
on my way to school, listening as
NPR’s anchor spoke about the
CPAC — the Conservative
Political Action Conference —
which brought
some 11,000
conservatives to
Washington,
D.C. for a
weekend of
speeches, dis-
cussions and
declarations of
intent to run for
president. Just as I was turning into
the school’s parking lot, the station
broadcast a part of U.S. Rep.
Michele Bachmann’s opening
statement, in which she stated her
party’s goal for the next two years:
to ensure that Barack Obama is a
one-term president.
Bachmann’s statement, which I
have since heard repeated over and
over by many of the convention’s
attendees and speakers, glued me
to the radio and nearly made me
late for school. It wasn’t the politi-
cal aim behind the statement,
although I do find the right’s
relentless ire toward Obama a little
excessive; what really got to me
was the way the goal was stated.
That aim — to deny somebody
political office — was phrased in a
way that was so purely negative
that I found myself incredulously

before class.
Now, don’t get me wrong —
opposition and contradiction in
politics are healthy, if not neces-
sary, components of a functional
democracy, especially when they
are used to fuel conversation and
compromise on real reform. But
this seems more like contradiction
for the sake of contradiction, and,
to quote the always-applicable
Monty Python, “argument is an
intellectual process. Contradiction
is just the automatic gainsaying of
anything the other person says.”
It is, of course, easier to express
this kind of disappointment with a
politician with whom I disagree,

Alaska:TV miners shouldn’t have killed bear
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — In one
of the first episodes of the “Gold
Rush: Alaska” Discovery Channel
series, miners hoping to strike gold
kill a bear near their camp.
The killing was unwarranted,
even though the shooter had a
license and a non-resident black-
bear tag, the state Department of
Natural Resources said.
In a letter to the mining company,
the agency said the bear did not
appear to be the same one that
entered the camp earlier, and it was
not in camp when it was killed, the
Anchorage Daily News reported
Friday.
No one was cited for the May
2010 shooting at the mining claim
in southeast Alaska, about 40 miles
north of Haines, but the miners were
agent in “Taken,” searching for his kidnapped daughter and kick-
ing as much butt as necessary to find her.
Now, he’s continuing this fascinating late-career path, remain-
ing in action-star mode as he creeps ever closer to 60, in
“Unknown.” It’s a chilly little thriller about amnesia,
mistrust and lost identity, with the kinds of chases and
explosions you’ve seen countless times before.
Interchangeable Euro baddies lurk in the
shadows, seemingly omniscient and
omnipresent, waiting to strike.
Nothing and no one is what it
seems, which makes the unpre-
dictability somewhat more pre-
dictable.
Still, Neeson’s always-intel-
ligent screen presence, his
nuance and gravitas, help
elevate “Unknown” beyond
its preposterous elements.
And he gets great help
from a classy supporting
cast, including Frank
Langella, Bruno Ganz and
Sebastian Koch.

ence with his beautiful wife, Elizabeth
(January Jones), but soon after they arrive at
their luxurious hotel, he realizes he’s left his
briefcase — with their passports — at the air-
port. When he hops in a cab and dashes back
to retrieve it, a chain-reaction crash sends the
car skidding through the streets and off a
bridge into a river. The driver (Diane Kruger,
vaguely de-glammed) pulls him from the
vehicle, saves his life, then runs off. Martin,
meanwhile, is taken to a hospital, where he
lies in a coma for four days.
When he awakens, he has only vague mem-

he hurries back to the hotel to find Elizabeth.
Not only does she look him in the eye and

From here, Martin goes on a quest to piece

In just the last month, we have witnessed
both a tragedy of negativity and a triumph of

act that many have argued was driven in part
by the hostility that has for years been creep-

clues as to who he is and where he was going.
Ganz, the veteran star of such films as
“Nosferatu the Vampyre” and “Wings of

agent Martin hires to help him investigate his
identity. He adds a feeling of menace even
though he’s a good guy, and his confrontation
with Langella, as a colleague of Martin’s
who’s come to Berlin supposedly to help,
crackles with tension.
As Martin and Gina evade one attack after
another from the mysterious people who are
out to get them, he discovers all kinds of use-
ful skills he never knew he had. And as
“Unknown” reveals itself, you may discover
that it reminds you of another, superior movie
— one that we will not name here for fear of
giving away the twist. But Collet-Serra
makes the story move with enough style and
energy that you also may not care.
With many nations taking their first steps
toward real democracy, it is important for
Americans, especially those in the govern-
ment and the media, to be extra mindful of
the way we present ourselves. Now more than
ever is the time to maintain the positive level
of discourse necessary to keep our nation

‘Amazing Race’in Switzerland,India in high-def

By Derrik J. Lang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — “The
Amazing Race” host Phil Keoghan
is glad he’ll never be asked this
question ever again: Why isn’t the
race broadcast in high definition?
After years of sticking to stan-
dard definition, CBS’ around-the-
world competition expands to HD
for the first time Sunday with an
“Unfinished Business” edition star-
ring former contestants.
“For a long time, people have
said to me that they couldn’t

Keoghan. “For me, it was just very
frustrating because I didn’t disagree
with them. I think if there’s any
show on prime-time network televi-
sion that lends itself to HD, it’s
‘The Amazing Race.’ It screams for
HD, and it’s been screaming for HD
for a long time.”
Several other reality TV shows

to HD in 2009.) After years of
blaming the expense and challenge
of using HD equipment on the road,
“Amazing Race” producers made
the change for the 18th season,
promising crisp images of racers
climbing a glacier in Switzerland
and interacting with animals in
China.
The switcheroo is striking in the
premiere episode when 11 teams of
veteran contestants who have never
won the show’s $1 million grand
prize set off from a wind farm in
Palm Springs, Calif., for sunny
Sydney, Australia, where the chal-
lenges include diving into a murky
After years of sticking to standard definition, CBS’ around-the-world competition expands to HD for the first
time Sunday with an ‘Unfinished Business’edition starring former contestants.
shark tank and navigating a 16-foot
skiff along the glistening Manly
Cove.
“Visually, it will be a much rich-
er show,” promised executive pro-
ducer Bertram van Munster. “We’re
glad that CBS gave us the green-
light to do this in HD. We didn’t do
so bad in the regular format. We
won the Emmy for best reality tele-
vision cinematography, but now we
can go a little further with our new
modern technology on those big
beautiful flatscreens.”
The move to HD didn’t dictate
this season’s course, said van
Munster, which includes stops in
Yokohama, Japan; Lijiang and
Kunming, China; Kolkata and
Varanasi, India; Vienna, Austria;
Zermatt, Switzerland; and Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil. For the first time,
the race will visit Liechtenstein,
where teams were tasked with
measuring the landlocked country
on mo-peds.
“I think one of the great aspects
of this race is all the stark con-
trasts,” said Keoghan. “For exam-
ple, going from Varanasi to
Zermatt, you’ve got this hot, color-
ful place in Asia then a very cold,
snowy place in Europe. The teams
that were racing through those
countries were able to see the
extreme differences, and we’re able
to show that off in HD.”
Several game-changing twists
return for the “Unfinished
Business” edition. In the premiere,
Keoghan informs the players that
the last team to arrive on the mat
will automatically face a U-turn,
forcing the duo to perform both
Detour challenges, while first-place
finishers will receive the Express
Pass, allowing a team to skip one
task during the race.
On the first leg, alliances form
when friends Justin Kanew and Zev
Glassenberg give up a clue to strug-
gling Nathaniel “Big Easy” Lofton
and Herbert “Flight Time” Lang,
the Harlem Globetrotters who com-
peted with them on the 15th season,
but Kanew dismisses 14th season
vets Margie and Luke Adams, and
Jaime Edmondson and Cara
Rosenthal when they ask for help.
“We’re very aware that five of
these teams know each other from
competing on the same season,”
said Kanew during an interview
before the race began last
November. “Zev and I have defi-
nitely talked about it. There might
be a natural alliance with them,
especially in the beginning before
we get to know them. Luckily, none
of those teams scare us.”
Other racers from the 14th edi-
tion include sisters LaKisha and Jen
Hoffman, engaged couple Amanda
Blackledge and Kris Klicka, and
father and son Mel and Mike
White. Dating couple Kent Kaliber
and Vyxsin Fiala and father and
daughter Ron and Christina Hsu
hail from the 12th season, while
cowboy brothers Jet and Cord
McCoy are the only team from the
16th season.
Gary and Mallory Erwin skipped
their season finale party in New
York to be able to run “The
Amazing Race” back to back. The
father and daughter duo from the
17th installment only had a few
months of downtime before head-
ing back around the globe. Mallory
joked before the race began last
year that she and her father “still
had our bags packed.”

These are the things Hoskins expects
to draw attention but it is the little items,
the lesser known moments perhaps, that
she wants visitors to carry away.
“They may not remember who invent-
ed it but they’ll remember the toilet,” she
laughed in an area devoted to inventors
— the young Domini’s favorite even now
as a 20-year-old music student.
A small toilet figurine sits nestled on

Hoskins said. Bet they don’t know that
George Grant invented the golf tee, she
added.
“And don’t forget the stoplight!” called
out the older Domini Hoskins as he flut-
tered around the cavernous museum with
its Alex Haley figurines, timelines of
major milestones, news clippings of
church bombings and the Ku Klux Klan,
mentions of authors like Langston
Hughes and local politicians like former
San Mateo mayor Claire Mack.

already accused each other of favoring a

that will be needed.
The flurry of decisions during the day,
combined with votes cast earlier in the
week, underscored the impact on the
House of the 87 freshmen who were
elected to their first terms last fall with
tea party support.
On a vote of 240-185, the House

her blog and book, is really not all that
different from parenting in the United
States.
“It’s not the families who teach the
violence,” said El-Haddad. “It’s the
environment. We have to work extra
hard to normalize children’s lives, exert
more effort than parents might here. We
have to create another environment for
them.”
El-Haddad knows well the experience
of growing up in an unpredictable set-
on display for Black History Month each
February and a full month is taken up
choosing what items to highlight and
putting them out.
She has all the enthusiasm of a teacher
and museum curator and all the objects
one would need for a comprehensive les-
son on black history.
What she needs though are visitors to
the free museum.
“Where is everybody?” she wonders.
That’s not to say there is nobody.
Schools bring groups of students, all of
whom leave with goody bags with items
like an EA Wii game and Jerry Rice Hall
of Fame card (Hoskins is godmother to
his child). And some visitors give new
meaning to the word loyalty. One woman
brings her daughter every day, telling her
to choose an individual from the displays
and write a report.
But after a Feb. 1 grand opening that
drew up to 100 people, the museum aver-
ages 20 to 25 visitors per day.
Hoskins thinks people forget. People
who just decades ago wouldn’t have been
allowed into schools or served at lunch
counters aren’t taking the time to revisit
how they got here. Athletes who once
couldn’t have played would now rather
spend thousands on a hotel bill than
donate a bit back to their history. Even
black churches weren’t particularly moti-
vated when Hoskins said she invited
them to participate in a celebration of
gospel music.
But it’s not just her museum; Hoskins
said she saw it, too, with the Negro
League Baseball Museum in Missouri
which is danger of shuttering for lack of
support.
Hoskins is determined not to let her
museum follow suit and, despite any
frustration, she is thrilled with how far it
has come.
Hoskins never meant to be a curator,
let alone have nonprofit status.
When her grandson asked about other
black leaders, Hoskins only wanted to
answer his question. After amassing a
collection of information and memora-
bilia, she began sharing it with his class.
Then other teachers wanted in. Soon
schools offered up multi-purpose space
and she carted the goods to other schools.
In past years, as she needed more
space, Hoskins has set up shop in a for-
mer Redwood City bank and space in
San Mateo. A friend told her eventually
she had to decide whether to give up the
collection to a bigger museum or get her
nonprofit status and find a permanent
dollars of millions of pro-life
Americans and use them to fund organ-
izations that provide and promote abor-
tion.”
Debate over the issue grew intense
Thursday night, when Rep. Christopher
Smith, R-N.J., read a description of a
graphic second-trimester abortion pro-
cedure on the House floor.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
responded with an emotional speech dis-
closing having undergone an abortion as
her 17-week pregnancy was failing. “For
you to stand on this floor and to suggest
as you have that somehow this is a pro-
cedure that is either welcomed or done
cavalierly or done without any thought is
preposterous,” she said.
Under current law, federal funds may
not be used for abortions except in the
cases of rape, incest or when the life of
the mother is in danger.
Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., said the
GOP proposal would “make it harder to
ting. Born in Kuwait and raised in Saudi
Arabia and Bahrain by her Palestinian
parents, both doctors, El-Haddad and
her family returned regularly to Gaza,
their homeland, for visits. Often the
crossing was closed or the family would
be detained for long stretches of time by
Israeli soldiers before eventually being
allowed to pass. She remembers com-
plaining about the trips home to Gaza as
a child, but now views them as neces-
sary.
“It’s a part of being Palestinian. It
comes with the territory, and it’s some-
thing my children have to experience,”
said El-Haddad.
She and the children currently split
their time between Gaza City and

home. She couldn’t give up her passion
and is now pursuing a place where black
history is commemorated beyond the
second month of each year. Meanwhile,
the struggle continues to make sure the
museum revives annually.
This year, she wasn’t sure where she
could find the needed space at the right
price — namely, free. Her angel came in
the form of Matt Malouf who had helped
Hoskins with the Jerry Rice Toy Drive at
Christmas. She needed a place? She
already had the key, he told her.
As much as Hoskins knows about his-
tory now, she’s always learning herself,
particularly from visitors.
As if one cue, a woman asked Hoskins
if she had anything on “Carson, he’s a
neurosurgeon.”
“He’d be back in medicine then,”
Hoskins said, directing her to a back cor-
ner.
Carson — Dr. Ben Carson to be exact
— wasn’t in the display but the woman
explained he is the first neurosurgeon to
separate conjoined twins. His mother
was near illiterate, but that didn’t stop her
from making her boys write book
reports; Carson didn’t even know of her
reading challenges until later, the woman
said.
One doctor who does get prominent
recognition is Dr. Charles Drew, who
established the American Red Cross
Blood Bank and revolutionized blood
plasma storage. If somebody is fascinat-
ed by him they might read more, Hoskins
said.
If so, they would find out that Drew
died after a car crash. He wasn’t admitted
to a white hospital, Hoskins said.
Connections like that from one name
or one incident into the greater realm of
history is the gift Hoskins wants the
museum to give. Just as the museum
blossomed out of a single question by her
grandson, Hoskins sees others asking for
more information, too.
Who was Rosa Parks for instance?
Everybody knows about the bus, she
said, but who was she otherwise? How
much did she pay for that fateful ride —
a dime — and what did she do for a liv-
ing? Who was Dr. King beyond his pub-
lic persona? And what of the unsung
heroes, the sandwich makers and sit-in
organizers? The individuals, white and
black, who sheltered runaway slaves?
The public should want to know, she
said.
And when they do, she and the muse-
um are there to teach.
access pap tests, breast exams, routine
gynecological examinations, flu vacci-
nations, smoking cessation services,
cholesterol screening, contraceptives
and all of the other services that Planned
Parenthood provides.”
On another front, Republicans voted
three times in slightly different ways to
ban the use of federal funds to imple-
ment the year-old health care law. The
House has voted previously to repeal the
new law.
The move to stop the Environmental
Protection Agency from regulating
greenhouse-gas polluters came from
Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, who said his
congressional district is home to more
oil refineries than any other.
“We’re in the midst of a massive eco-
nomic downturn and the last thing we
need to do is shoot ourselves in the foot
with unnecessary, expensive new regu-
lations that are on business and indus-
try,” he said.
Maryland, where her husband teaches.
Life in Gaza affords the children not
only a chance to reconnect with their
grandparents, who retired in Gaza City,
but an opportunity to learn about what it
means to be Palestinian.
“Gaza is part of my children’s aware-
ness and consciousness,” said El-
Haddad. “I make sure they’re aware of
their identities.”
El-Haddad is currently working as a
co-author on a second book, “The Gaza
Kitchen.” She is also a contributing
author to the recently released “The
Goldstone Report: The Legacy of the
Landmark Investigation of the Gaza
Conflict.”

24 Weekend • Feb. 19-20, 2011 COMICS/GAMES THE DAILY JOURNAL

Saturday, Feb. 19, 2011
Because you’ll base your projections upon realistic premises,
success in all of your endeavors is indicated for you in the
coming solar cycle. In fact, anything you envision can be
attained through industrious tenacity.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - You’ve helped plenty of
people, and now it’s your turn. Something that is materially
profitable is likely to develop through an arrangement where
another has already laid a strong foundation.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - You’ll operate exceptionally
well in all of your one-on-one relationships, but especially
in those that are of personal significance. In fact, you’ll even
strengthen an old alliance.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Being cognizant of details
should allow you to easily clear up all kinds of jobs you’ve
previously found befuddling. With your concentration being on
the right points, it’ll all get done.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - This is an excellent day to
entertain those you haven’t seen for some time. However, it
would be better to keep the group small and intimate, as well
as warm and friendly.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - If you take care of your more
demanding domestic and family needs, you’ll find everything
else will automatically fall into place. Additionally, you’ll be
able to pursue some outside interests.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Spend your time engaging in
some of your more physical interests rather than just things
of a mental nature. Give your muscles a little exercise while
giving your brain a rest.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - That considerable common sense
you posses will prove to be an enormous asset. Whenever you
have any kind of decision to make, rely more on it than on
anything else.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Those take-charge urges of
yours will make it virtually impossible for you to sit idly by
and watch others tackle a big job without any guidance.
They’ll appreciate your input.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - When tackling an important
project, it would be best for you to do so alone, free from
all outside interferences. You’ll be far more productive and
industrious when left to your own devices.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Idlers are likely to zap your
positive attitude, so if you hope to be industrious, work only
with cohorts who are operating on your wavelength. Avoid the
lollygaggers of the world.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Being the top dog might
be more important to you than usual, and your competitive
spirit will happily take on all comers. Your strong inclinations
will help you gain the laurels you desire.
Previous
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - It’ll behoove you to be
philosophical about whatever occurs. Thus, if you can treat
Sudoku
both victory and defeat with equal grace, you’ll come through
with flying colors.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
RACE
Continued from page 1
globe, there are normally two challenges that
face each team at each location. The team
chooses one, unless they are “U-turned” by
another team, making both tasks a require-
ment.
Redwood City native Blackledge and her
then boyfriend Klicka fell victim to this strate-
gic move. The additional task resulted in their
elimination from the show, which aired in
2009.
“We trusted way too many people. Teams
we thought were true friends were lying,” said
Blackledge.
The pair gets a second chance not only at
the game itself, but also against the mother
and son team, Margie and Luke Adams, who
U-turned them in “The Amazing Race:
Unfinished Business,” which debuts 8 p.m.
Sunday, Feb. 20 on CBS.
“This time, we’re not trusting a soul,” she
said.
Blackledge, who grew up in Redwood City,
LOCAL
attended Clifford Elementary School, North
Star Academy and Sequoia High School, from
which she graduated in 2004. After graduat-
ing, Blackledge moved to San Diego for
school.
The pair didn’t apply for the show. Klicka
was scouted at a bar in Southern California.
Blackledge walked up in the middle of the
conversation, was intrigued by the chance to
travel and win $1 million and gave the person
casting the show her contact information.
They auditioned for Season 13, but were not
chosen. For Season 14, they were one of the
last couples added giving them less than three
weeks to prepare for the show.
The call came not long after the pair became
engaged in July. Klicka had said they would
go to dinner. What he didn’t tell her was it
would be at a table flanked by tiki torches on
the beach with the ring hidden under a shell. A
few weeks later, the opportunity to compete
again arose.
This time, the couple, currently living in
Pismo Beach, prepared differently. Less cloth-
ing and more snacks were packed, said
Blackledge.
“Last time we were so hungry. We
thought maybe if we packed snacks we’d
Weekend• Feb. 19-20, 2011 31
perform better,” she said.
Blackledge also did a bit more training this
time around, like weights with the help of
Klicka. Also, the couple knew their competi-
tors would be former contestants but didn’t
know which ones. They watched old seasons,
trying to recall the weaknesses of others.
It wasn’t until they reached the starting line
that Blackledge and Klicka learned who else
had signed up for a second shot.
Since the show has yet to air, Blackledge
could not talk about how the new challenge
went. She did say the experience was worth-
while.
“I would do it again and again. You get to
travel the globe,” she said, adding it’s nice to
do it alongside her fiancé.
Originally, Blackledge attempted to prepare
for both the show and a wedding but realized
it was too much. The pair plans to wed in
2012.
“The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business”
airs 8 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 20 on CBS.
