County mulls grants for needy

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With county residents still smarting from the economic downturn that spiked requests for public assistance, ofcials may put up to a million dollars for a joint grant venture to provide food and shelter for thousands of needy individuals. The proposal calls for San Mateo County to pony up between $400,000 and $500,000 for its pro-

grams which would be matched by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. The result would be b e t w e e n $800,000 and John Maltbie $1 million that would be doled out to community-based nonprot organizations.

The Board of Supervisors will consider the request by Acting Manager John Maltbie at its Jan. 10 meeting. The county and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, which would also provide money for Santa Clara County programs, will jointly evaluate the requests based on proposed use, demonstrated need, distribution and successful history. The idea echoes a similar joint grant venture in March 2009

between the two entities in which 32 local agencies received funds that provided groceries, meals, shelter beds and client visits for 11,664 county residents. At that point in time, the countys unemployment had peaked at just more than 9 percent. By November 2011, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the rate had dropped to 7.5 percent but more than 30,000 residents remained unemployed. Some communities also still had unem-

ployment rates of more than 10 percent. Were a very diverse county, not just in culture and geography, but in economics, said board President Carole Groom. The ongoing need is also illustrated by an increase in annual visits to the core service agencies a jump from an 18,000 annual average before 2007 to more than 40,000 in

Attic blends tradition with a twist

Installing wireless communication devices in Burlingame could require one of two permits, according to a proposed ordinance the Planning Commission will discuss tonight. Burlingame has a temporary ban in place on new wireless communication boxes and antennas, first approved in September, to allow time to discuss possible rules by the Wireless Telecommunications Working Group. Tonight, the Planning Commission will vote on the ordinance which favors placing antennas in commercial areas and camou-

B Street restaurant offers unique menu

San Mateo, he said, but none that offer a modern twist to the regions classic dishes. We are looking at classic dishes in a California state of mind, Lyum said. Lyum just returned from a trip to the Philippines from where much of his streetfood inspired dishes originate. Attics offerings lean more toward the avors and spices of Southeast Asia with fresh ingredients found here in California, he said. His travels help inspire a seasonal menu for the B Street restaurant, he said. Lyum, 33, and his partners have also gone mobile, as their Windows-On-Wheels food trucks now serve a Filipino breakfast, Vietnamese noodle soup and other dishes from Southeast Asia. WOW looks to expand its offerings to also include Nepalese-inspired dishes, he said. It is a fun side project and we hope to build up the brand, he said. Lyum also has a lot of fun sampling his competitors food in downtown San Mateo, which has more than 120 restaurants with more opening soon. B Street is awesome, he said. There is great Brazilian food and probably the best ramen in the Bay Area. There is a good blend of food here. Almost anything I crave I can nd on B Street. Im surprised it doesnt attract more attention. He noted Curry Up Now and the Pho

If youve tried the Bo Luc Lac Shaking Beef or Sizzling Sisig at the Attic, you may already be a fan of the downtown San Mateo restaurant famous for mixing traditional Asian cuisine with a California twist. The restaurant, bar and lounge opened on B Street in May 2010 by a group of San Mateo natives, including chef and consultant Tim Luym, who made a name for himself in San Francisco while serving as chef at the nowclosed Poleng Lounge. Poleng was famous for its blend of Filipino and street food inuences and Attic follows in that tradition. There are plenty of Japanese, Chinese, Thai and even Vietnamese restaurants in downtown

Quiet birthday for Kate Middleton as she turns 30
LONDON The former Kate Middleton turns 30 on Monday but royal fans expecting a lavish birthday bash to mark the milestone will be disappointed. Palace ofcials say the Duchess of Cambridges birthday celebration will be a low-key and private affair, appearing to quash press reports that she will see off her 20s with a fun 80s themed party, complete with karaoke, in a throwback to her more carefree bachelorette days. The choice of a muted event seems appropriate: After all, the duchess is not just starting the fourth decade of her life she is also embarking on her career as a future queen, charged with renovating a monarchy that has become somewhat creaky with age. Shes done very well, playing a very good supporting role to Prince William and complementing him as part of a team, commentator Robert Jobson said of her rst few months as a royal. Weve not seen much of her, but when shes in public she has performed with aplomb, added Jobson, who is the author of William and Kate: The Love Story. The past year has seen momentous changes for Kate, with a fairytale wedding to Prince William, travels around the world and glamorous appearances that marked her transition from commoner to the worlds most talked-about princess and style icon. She has won rave reviews for her sparkle, her elegant sense of style, and her common touch with the public. The media, yearning for a young and beautiful royal, documented and largely admired her every move. On Sunday, they were out in force with the duchess again the center of attention as she and William took to the red carpet for the premiere of Steven Spielbergs movie War Horse in central London. But now that the excitement around her grand wedding has subsided, she is expected to quietly settle down into her royal duties and for much of this year, that means helping Queen Elizabeth II celebrate her Diamond Jubilee, without upstaging the monarch in her moment of glory, and also playing a supporting role at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Until recently, palace ofcials have been quiet about what exactly her role will be, keen to protect her transition into a fully edged royal from the glare of the media limelight. The newlyweds, who live in a remote corner of north Wales, were said to favor a quieter life after the massive global media coverage of their April wedding. Outside of a tour of Canada and California in the summer, the duchess has only taken a handful of ofcial engagements. The former Middleton ventured out on her rst solo engagement in October a private charity dinner for about 30 guests but is yet to make a public speech on her own. That is set to change. This week, royal ofcials nally gave the rst insight into her new role when they announced which charities shes supporting, including the Scouts and a group that helps drug addicts. More organizations will follow later, ofcials said. The royal family considers patronage of charities an important aspect of their social role, and frequently makes visits and attends events to boost the charities proles.

San Franciscos jail in San Bruno

Originally known as Jail House Road, the one-and-a-half lane dirt road wound around the east and south slopes of Pacic Heights and ended at Sunshine Jail Farm. You reached this path (now Moreland Drive in western San Bruno) after driving south from San Franciscos Ingleside Jail in the 1930s. The wooden Ingleside Jail in western San Francisco had become too small and overcrowded and besides that, the citizens of San Francisco didnt want that type of dirty, noisy institution in its city limits. Land of Rancho Buri Buri of San Mateo County had been purchased by Richard Sneath in the 1870s but the dairy had closed down by the 1930s and the Sneath family was renting out land to vegetable growers and was also willing to sell some land to the San Franciscos Sheriffs Ofce to be used as a jail. Many acres of land to the west of the two square miles of incorporated San Bruno seemed to be isolated enough so Peninsula citizens would not be bothered by the daily bus loads of prisoners that shuttled between San Francisco and the jail. Not so. Immediately there were protests to deny the jail permit to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors but those were beat down by San Francisco and, in 1932, the jail property was purchased for $47,500. The construction of the jail was to cost $800,000. A six-story art deco structure was erected with 50-yard long corridors of jail cells that opened to house 300 prisoners. San Mateo County Sheriff McGrath immediately purchased a Thompson machine gun for $277 to combat banditry in the county. He felt that the

AUTHORS COLLECTION

Replacing the old San Francisco County Jail in San Bruno proved to be an ordeal
jail would promote crime. To provide supplemental food for the prisoners, a vegetable garden covering many acres was planted and maintained by the prisoners. The food was awful, recreation minimal and the jail became overcrowded, especially at the beginning of the week when all of the party goers (drunks) lled the cells awaiting trial or serving sentences. A number of breakouts occurred over the years but the prisoners who broke out tended to head over the hill to the west (not east where people lived) and then hitch-hiked to shelter in San Francisco. These occasional breakouts did not sit well with the citizens and protests were registered with the San Francisco sheriff to no avail. The buses kept rolling every day with new loads of minimum security prisoners to San Bruno and then returned with dried-out prisoners who usually were on the returning buses come next Monday. Sheriff Michael Hennessey, a reform-minded public ofcer and decent fellow who hated to see the jail deteriorating into the state it had become, nally had enough. This was in the mid-1990s. The jail had to be replaced but the bond issue that was voted on in 1994 was defeated. Another bond failed in 1996. Finally, money became available and, in 2000, construction on a new 300,000-square-foot, 368-bed jail began. Opening date was to be November 2003, but the date came and went and the opening of the medium-security facil-

Hollywood inspires locals red-carpet design

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Natalie Palter never cared who won while watching the Oscars but was instead interested in the beautiful gowns worn by the stars. Palters love began with simple strapless dresses the kind she could easily draw. Watching the red carpet inspired Palter, now 18, to design her own couture-inspired owy numbers. That hobby turned into a possible profession for the San Mateo native who now studies fashion design at Marist College in New York. Now the 2011 Aragon High School grad has a chance to see one of her designs actually walk the red carpet since shes one of ve nalists in the Adrianna Papell for E! Live from the Red Carpet contest. Palters design was one of about 700 entered. Palter learned of the contest at school but forgot about the due date. A friendly reminder from friends created a three-hour evening design session during with Palter did a number of sketches before nalizing her entry. Now what stands between Palter and seeing her creation on the runway is votes. Starting Monday, Jan. 16, Facebook fans will have the chance to vote for their favorite of the ve design options. Whoever has the most votes by Jan. 22 wins. Winning would mean receiving a $2,500 cash prize, a trip to Los Angeles to participate in a live reveal on E!s

A weekly look at the people who shape our community "Countdown to the Red Carpet Academy Awards" on Feb. 26, and the design will be included in Adrianna Papell for E! Live From the Red Carpet collection, available at Lord & Taylor in the spring. Getting to this point took support. The original eld was narrowed to 25 thanks to online voters. Then the Adrianna Papell Group and E! worked together to pick the nal choices. All ve dresses are currently being made. While winning would be amazing, Palter is excited to see her dress actually made. A beautiful draped dress with a little sparkle that was Palters inspiration. She has spent years learning about fashion before explain her inspiration so simply. Palter was always happiest as a child when dressing herself even when her creation include a tutu and an oven mitt. In rst grade she started making simple designs. To be sure Authority spokesman Matt Lucett said. A 13-year-old boy had been climbing on rocks near the beach when a large boulder came loose, trapping him and crushing his legs, Lucett said. Using hydraulic rescue equipment, reghters took about 90 minutes to lift the boulder and extricate the boy. He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital with serious injuries.

Natalie Palter hopes to be a nalist in theAdrianna Papell for E! Live from the Red Carpetcontest.
she was really interested, Palter took a sewing class then took classes at the Academy of Art for two summers studying gure drawing, fashion design and fashion construction. It wasnt all about fashion. Palter played soccer for the San Mateo Soccer Club, at Aragon, participated in theatre locally and at school, and enjoyed dancing. Along the way, Palter was involved in a number of contests but never won. She entered this one thinking it would be fun, but like before, wouldnt result in a win. Palter learned she was a nalist while in a philosophy class. Sitting through the class seemed to take forever as Palter was eager to share the news with, well, everyone. Getting to this point is exciting for Palter who aspires to have her own line someday. It would be a huge deal [to win], she said. Honestly, I couldnt care less about the money at this point. Just to get my name out there, to have something made is just amazing. Even if I dont win, Ill still be able to see my made dress, which is amazing.

How Trees Benet Our Health While Absorbing Air Pollutants

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE As a Past President of the Millbrae Lions Club I was recently asked to take on the position of Tree Planting Chairman. It is a goal of the current Lions Clubs International President for all Lions Clubs across the world to plant one million trees during the 2011-2012 term. This new responsibility reminded me of a plan I had in the back of my mind to donate a number of trees on behalf of the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS for planting on several sparsely landscaped strips at Saint Dunstans Church in Millbrae. Ive always been a fan of planting trees, and my new task as Tree Planting Chair gave me an excuse to follow through with this previous goal. I immediately put my plan into action, so as of this writing 17 good sized Redwood Trees have already been planted at Saint Dunstans which will grow up tall and lush (see the picture to the right of me with one of the trees on the day they were planted). Trees are a major life sustaining feature of our planet. They not only help secure the ground they are planted in, but are the home to countless numbers of species. Trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) in addition to other harmful pollutants from the atmosphere, and during photosynthesis they release the oxygen we breathe. An acre of trees absorbs enough CO2 over one year to equal the amount produced by driving a car 26,000 miles. If everyone reading this article planted one new tree at their home it would not only create a noticeable improvement in everyones quality of life but also would benefit future generations.

Historically San Mateo County had a vast population of healthy old growth Redwood Trees. In the 1800s a large portion of these tall majestic trees were cut down to feed the quickly growing need for lumber in the up and coming city of San Francisco. During this gold rush period little was known of the benefits in keeping these trees alive and healthy. Realistically we still need lumber today, and now the lumber industry regularly replaces the trees they harvest with new young trees. Trees are a good renewable resource if used in a responsible manner, and many more trees have to be planted than harvested to support societys needs. We all have a chance to help by planting our own new trees and replacing those which may be unhealthy or have died. Tying this topic into our role at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS is easy. Wood is used in caskets, urns, paper and other items needed for funerals. The CO2 absorbed by trees is permanently locked into the wood used to craft these items therefore keeping it out of the atmosphere. My goal is to keep planting trees where ever I find the need as to help replenish this vitally essential and health-nourishing resource. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

Oakland sees homicide total spike

Man arrested in Craigslist sex sting
HUNTINGTON BEACH Authorities have arrested a Santa Ana man suspected of trying to initiate a sexual relationship with a minor he found on Craigslist. According to the Huntington Beach Independent detectives posing on the website as a 13-year-old girl, received lewd messages from 35-year-old Oscar Pinedo. Pinedo made arrangements to meet the girl and pay her for sex. Pinedo drove to Huntington Beach on Wednesday to meet the girl and was arrested by detectives. He was booked at the Huntington city jail on suspicion of communicating with a minor with intent to commit a lewd act, arranging to meet a minor to conduct a lewd act and attempting to conduct a lewd act with a minor.

OAKLAND Staring at a colorful display of balloons, flowers and candles at a makeshift memorial in East Oakland, Todd Walker estimated he went to at least 50 of the funerals for this citys 110 homicide victims in 2011. He attended one more on Friday, this time for Oaklands last homicide victim of the year, 5-year-old Gabriel Martinez, Jr., who was shot and killed near his fathers taco truck a week earlier. Safe streets should be the main priority of this city, period! There are no more excuses, said Walker, a community activist who is often asked to attend services by the victims

families, pointing to a large banner with Gabriels image at the memorial site that said Alto a la violencia stop the violence in Spanish. This rough-edged port city that struggles for a reprieve from the violence saw its homicide total hit triple digits last year for the fth time in the past six years. There were 95 homicides in 2010, a ve-year low that brought promise and some optimism. But a number of the slayings in 2011 sparked community outrage and national attention. A man was shot in broad daylight in November near the Occupy Oakland encampment outside City Hall, and a beloved restaurant owner in East Oakland was fatally shot in April during an early morning attempted robbery.

Gabriel, known by his family as Little Gabrielito, was one of three little boys felled by bullets. Three-year-old Carlos Carlito Nava was gunned down while being pushed in a stroller by his mother in August. Last month, Hiram Lawrence was taken off life support after being shot in the head while in his fathers arms during a rap video shooting; he died nearly three weeks shy of his second birthday. Aint no tomorrow for (Gabriel)! Aint no tomorrow for little Carlito down the street or baby Hiram! Do something for these kids who are alive so they can live to see tomorrow, said Walker, also a well-respected area youth football coach. How many more babies are going to have to be shot and killed?

A 22-foot-high high, 500-foot-long halfpipe co-designed by snowboarder Shaun White was opened to the public last week near Truckee at Northstar California, one of Vail Resorts Inc.s properties formerly called Northstar-at-Tahoe. The red-haired, two-time Olympic gold medal winner known as the Flying Tomato had the superpipe built at the Sierra resort for use in training for upcoming events.

SAN FRANCISCO San Franciscos new sheriff used his swearing-in ceremony Sunday to speak publicly for the rst time about allegations that he was involved in a domestic abuse incident. Former city supervisor Ross Mirkarimi took the oath of ofce at the citys War Ross Mirkarimi Memorial Veterans Building with his

wife, Eliana Lopez, smiling at his side and holding their young child. He was sworn in by a former San Francisco mayor after a judge declined to administer the oath. Mirkarimi denied that he had ever abused his wife, but acknowledged the controversy hes involved in as he takes over as the citys rst new sheriff in more than 30 years. I am sorry that a cloud hangs over what should be a very special

day, he said. His wife also spoke, denying that she had ever been physical abused. I dont have any complaints against my husband, she said. The public event followed a private ceremony at City Hall Saturday night that, according to spokesman Jim Stearns, was previously planned for Sunday morning but was changed because of what Stearns termed scheduling issues.

Rick Perry says labor union rights are a federal issue because of a law that requires states to take action to become right-towork states. He says he is not antiunion but is pro-job. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney says he believes union training programs can help make American workers more competitive. But he says public sector unions are hurting economic growth and says their pay should be tied to private sector salaries. Former Sen. Rick Santorum, who is from heavily unionized Pennsylvania, says he worked with unions in Philadelphia

and elsewhere to improve communities. The candidates were speaking at a Republican presidential debate Sunday Mitt Romney morning. In a Saturday night debate, Romney brushed aside rivals criticism in the opening round of a weekend debate doubleheader that left his Republican presidential campaign challengers squabbling among themselves and unable to knock the front-runner off stride. Three days before the rst in-thenation New Hampshire primary, Romney largely ignored his fellow Republicans and turned instead on President Barack Obama. His policies have made the recession deeper

and his policies have made the recovery more tepid, he said, despite a declining unemployment rate and the creation of 200,000 jobs last month. Over the course of the lively 90minute debate, there were attacks aplenty as Romneys ve rivals vied to emerge as his principal rival in the primaries ahead. The former Massachusetts governor won an eight-vote victory in the Iowa caucuses last Tuesday and is far ahead in the pre-primary polls in New Hampshire. That leaves his pursuers little time to stop his rise, and, all but conceding New Hampshire to the former governor of next-door Massachusetts, theyre mostly focusing their efforts on the South Carolina primary on Jan. 21 Texas Rep. Ron Paul assailed Santorum as a big government person, an allegation the former

Pennsylvania senator disputed. Santorum nished a close second to Romney in Iowa this week, with Paul coming in third. Paul, who has called former House Speaker Newt Gingrich a chicken hawk who has not served in the military, drew withering criticism in return. I personally resent the kinds of comments and aspersions he routinely makes, Gingrich said. Paul got the last word, saying emphatically, When I was drafted I was married and had two kids, and I went. He was an Air Force surgeon in the Vietnam War era. Gingrich was fourth in Iowa, Perry fifth and Minnesota rep. Michele Bachmann, who has since quit the race, was last. Huntsman did not compete there, hoping to make a splash in New Hampshire. Romney appeared uncertain only once, when he was asked if states

have the right to ban contraception. He avoided a clear answer, suggesting the question was irrelevant. No. States dont want to ban contraception, he said. In a ruling in 1967, the Supreme Court said married couples have a right to use contraception, a nding that has been expanded in subsequent opinions Romney, who often touts his business background, was attacked in the opening moments of the debate. Santorum went rst, dismissing him as a mere manager. Being a president is not a CEO. Youve got to lead and inspire, he said. Gingrich followed a few moments later, referring to published accounts that described how some workers were laid off after Bain Capital, the rm Romney once led, invested in their companies and sought to turn them around.

Arizona remembers deadly day

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TUCSON, Ariz. This time, in the supermarket parking lot, there were softly ringing bells breaking the morning silence instead of the terrible sounds of gunre and sirens. More bells tolled later Sunday at Tucsons packed St. Augustine Cathedral as the names of the six people killed in the shooting rampage were read. With hugs and tears, southern Arizonans remembered the dead, the shattered lives and those who acted heroically after a gunman opened re at an outdoor meet-and-greet that severely

wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and stunned the nation and this closeknit community. The day of remembrance began with the ringing of church bells and hand-held Gabby Giffords bells throughout the city at 10:11 a.m., the exact time the gunman shot Giffords in the head and methodically moved down a line of people waiting to talk to her during a public event outside a Safeway supermarket on Jan. 8, 2011. Even in the midst of this troubling

year, the healing, the courage that we have experienced in our community each one of us can notice how our cups overow with the blessings of our lives, said Stephanie Aaron, Giffords rabbi, who recited the 23rd Psalm at an interfaith service at the cathedral Sunday afternoon. Relatives of the six dead walked solemnly down the aisle with a single red rose, placing the owers in a vase in front of a picture of a heart. Hundreds of people at the cathedral including Gov. Jan Brewer stood and chanted, We remember, we remember, we remember with grateful hearts. Some closed their eyes while others held each other.

Police say bomb that hurt 2 was in paper bag

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAFAYETTE, Colo. A bomb that seriously injured two people in a Colorado town was left beside their car in a paper bag with their names written on it, police said Sunday. Allyson Stone, 44, and her husband, 59-year-old Christopher Stone, were hospitalized with burns after the explo-

sion on Saturday in Lafayette. No other information about the couple or the device had been released. The couple found the bag as they were preparing to drive to Boulder, and they put it in the car with them, police said. Christopher Stone told investigators it exploded as his wife began to open it when they had driven about a block. No one has been arrested.

About 20 homes were evacuated as police investigated. Residents were allowed to return about eight hours later when no other explosives were found. Police have said they believe the Stones were the target and that the public wasnt in danger. Allyson Stone received death threats in 2010 after a dog bit her and the case went to court, The Denver Post reported.

Arab League tells Syria: halt violence

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT The Arab League demanded Sunday that the Syrian government immediately stop all violence and allow more monitors in, as activists reported at least 10 more civilians, including two teenagers, were killed by regime forces. Fierce clashes in the south between government troops and military defectors left 11 soldiers dead, activists said. The Arab League also called on other armed parties to halt all bloodshed, an apparent reference to the defectors.

Qatari Foreign Minister Sheik Hamad Bin Jassem Bin Jabr Al Thani said the ministers did not agree to call for U.N. experts to join the observers mission in Syria, but said U.N. experts will train the monitors in Cairo before they leave. Even had they called for the U.N. experts to go in, Syrias regime may well have blocked them. The success of the mission, said Al Thani, who heads the committee, depends on the government of Syria, and that means stopping the killings, withdrawing troops from the cities, and allowing journalists to work and enter Syria.

The ministerial committee called on the Syrian government and various armed groups to immediately halt all forms of violence and to return to protesting peacefully for the success of the Arab League observers mission in Syria. At the meeting, the head of the observers issued his rst report on the mission, sharing photos, maps and initial ndings. The ve foreign ministers from the 22-member Arab League, who met in Cairo, said the 165 Arab League monitors now on the ground need greater independence from President Bashar Assads regime.

The monitors are supposed to be ensuring Syrian compliance with a plan to end the governments crackdown on dissent. The Arab plan Bashar Assad League calls on Syria to remove heavy weaponry, such as tanks, from all cities, free all political prisoners and allow in human rights organizations and foreign journalists. Syria agreed to the plan on Dec. 19.

Opposition activists say around 450 people have been killed by Assads regime since observers began work in Syria nearly two weeks ago. A Syrian activist in Cairo, Thaer Al-Nashef, told the Associated Press that the regime is misleading the observers and that the mission has done nothing to resolve the crisis. He said the issue should be dealt with at the U.N. Security Council. The monitors have not moved the situation forward or backward in Syria. At the same time the regime is killing the Syrian revolution, he said.

Pakistans Musharraf to return this month
KARACHI, Pakistan Former President Pervez Musharraf announced Sunday he would return to Pakistan later this month and prepare for elections, something that could add to political turbulence in an already tense atmosphere in the country. His rst challenge may be to avoid arrest on his arrival. On Saturday, state prosecutors said they planned to detain the former army chief on charges he failed to provide security for former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto ahead of her assassination in 2008. While much remains unpredictable, commentators have speculated that the army will not allow Musharraf to be arrested, setting up fresh conict between it and the unpopular government of President Asif Ali Zardari.

Swiss lawmakers to grill central bank chief

GENEVA A Swiss parliamentary committee plans to hold a Monday hearing with central bank chief Philipp Hildebrand behind closed doors in a bid to get answers about private currency deals he engaged in while he was leading efforts to soften the Swiss franc. Hildebrand broke weeks of silence Thursday to deny breaching central bank rules.

BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa Tens of thousands of chanting and dancing revelers waved the green and gold colors of the African National Congress as Africas oldest liberation movement celebrated its 100th anniversary Sunday, though many South Africans say the party hasnt delivered on its promises since taking power in 1994. A dozen African leaders and more former heads of state along with African kings and chieftains attended a midnight ceremony where President Jacob Zuma lit a flame, expected to stay alight the entire year, at the red brick, tin-roofed Wesleyan church where black intellectuals and activists founded the party in 1912. Absent because of his frailty was Nelson Mandela, South Africas first black president who is just six years younger than his movement. The world icon was jailed for 27 years by the racist white government and his organization was formerly declared a terrorist group by the United States. Joy at the ANCs leading role in ending white minority rule in 1994 was tinged with sadness over its failure to bring a better life to most South Africans, and corruption scandals that have embroiled its members in recent years. It means a lot to be alive when the ANC is celebrating 100 years of its

He said the party had gained strength along with challenges, but it has managed to come through it to today, it is here, 100 years and I want to believe it will reach 200 years. The stadium at Bloemfontein, upgraded to a 45,000-seater for the 2010 soccer World Cup, overflowed Sunday with crowds that spilled outside, dancing and singing under a blazing sun. We need to ensure that our program of transforming our country is accelerated and taken to new steps, Zuma said in an afternoon address, flanked by an aide holding an umbrella. He acknowledged the problems confronting the ANC, saying it needs to defeat the demon of factionalism and to take urgent and practical steps to restore the core values, stamp out factionalism and promote political discipline.

State deserves a 21st-century voting system

The Sacramento Bee

dozen years have passed since the Bush-Gore presidential election debacle in Florida. A decade has passed since Congress approved the Help America Vote Act in response to the Florida events. The law required states to modernize their voter registration and vote tabulation systems. California has received $380 million from the federal government to get the job done and another $200 million in bond money from state taxpayers. But the xes remain incomplete. Voting equipment has been updated. None of the punch card, chad-producing voting machines that caused such consternation in Florida remain in use in California. However, a statewide voter registration database that would allow counties to easily and speedily clear deadwood from voting rosters, and to update registrations when voters move, remains undone. California is the only state in the union that has failed to put a nal voter database in place. County registrars say theyve been

Other voices
told the new system, dubbed VoteCal, wont be ready before 2015 or 2016. That means not before the state goes through another presidential and gubernatorial election cycle, at minimum. Justiably frustrated by the lack of progress and by what many complain is a lack of leadership from Secretary of State Debra Bowen, county registrars sponsored Senate Bill 397 this year to authorize an interim online registration system. The system would allow voters to register or update their existing registrations online using signatures already on le with the California Department of Motor Vehicles. The DMV would transfer the signatures to the secretary of state, who would in turn deliver them to the counties, who could enter the information electronically. Online registration would allow counties to avoid the inevitable paper crush when hundreds of thousands of citizens attempt to register just days or weeks before a presidential primary or general election. Registrars pushed hard to get the new online system in place

by Jan. 1, only to run into opposition from Bowen. She initially claimed her ofce lacked the time and funding to implement it. After the bill was amended to allow her to use federal funds, she did urge the governor to sign it. But its still unclear that the online system will be up and running in time for the June primary. Bowen should make that a priority. She campaigned as a tech-savvy innovator but has failed to signicantly update or improve the states clunky elections system. She blames the states size and complexity and a cumbersome state government procurement process that requires her ofce to get clearance from both the Department of General Services and the California Ofce of Technology before it can take action. Shes right about the obstacles. Nonetheless, after ve years in ofce and tens of millions in state and federal funds expended, the public is weary of excuses. Californians want and deserve a modern election system, one that allows them to do at least what voters in Oregon, Washington and Arizona can do register online.

Redwood Citys first Latina mayor

ven though the population of Redwood City is 40 percent Latino, it wasnt until December 2011 that a Latina became mayor. This rst-time honor went to Alicia Aguirre, former school board member and long-time professor at Caada College. And wow, is she proud of this historic moment! She is the fourth Latino to serve the city. The rst was elected to the council in 1928. Fernando Vega served in the 1970s and Priscilla Marquez in the 1980s. Aguirre is an American success story. Her family immigrated to the United States from Mexico. Her father arrived after World War II under the bracero work program. He did farm jobs in Florida and Mississippi and then moved with his wife to Detroit to begin a job on the assembly line of the booming automobile industry. Aguirre and her four siblings were born in Detroit. Her father insisted that the children speak only Spanish at home even while she and her brothers and sisters were learning English at school. Today, she and her siblings are bilingual as are Aguirres two sons. Aguirre is thankful her dad insisted on strong ties to the culture, music, language and folklore of their heritage. It has played a major role in Aguirres career. Life was a struggle in those early years. Her dad was frequently laid off and had to nd odd jobs in a tortilla factory to support his growing family. Aguirre was the oldest and played the role of mama chiquita, little mother. Her own mom, who had been a school teacher in Mexico, was her model and inspiration. She instilled a hard work ethic and set high standards for her children. Aguirres mom died at 59, but her dad is still alive in Detroit. One sister is the community affairs reporter for NBC TV in Detroit. She came out to lm Aguirres swearing in as mayor. All of the siblings have had successful careers. The youngest is now working for Ford . Aguirre pursued her college education in Michigan. She was part of the mini-mayor program set up by then Detroit mayor, Coleman Young, to provide community outreach. She worked in primarily Latino neighborhoods. To advance her education and obtain a Ph.D. in archeology, she obtained a scholarship from the U.S. and Mexican governments. She studied in Mexico City but never completed her degree. Instead, she met and married a young doctor. The couple moved to Seattle. Then her husband was offered a position at Stanford Hospital and they moved to Redwood City where they met Rich Gordon. *** Aguirres husband worked for Gordons partner, also a Stanford physician. Aguirre was new to the community and wanted to get involved. Gordon put her on the board of the nonprot Youth and Family Assistance Program. Gordon was the executive director at the time. Nonprots were always looking for good Latino board members and Aguirre more than t the bill. But she told Gordon she didnt want to be the token Latina. And she wasnt. Soon she found herself on a number of community boards. Then on to the Redwood City Elementary School District Board of Trustees in 1990, where she served until she was appointed to a seat on the Redwood City Council to ll the vacancy created when Ira Ruskin went to the state Assembly. Aguirre taught at several community colleges before obtaining a full-time job at Caada College where she has taught for the last 24 years ESL, Spanish and Latino heritage. For the past 14 years, she has been married to Pete Liebengood, a former sportscaster for KRON. *** In Sacramento, the Latino caucus holds signicant political power. In San Mateo County, its beginning. Aguirre is the third Latina to be elected mayor of a county city this year. She is joined by 27-year old Laura Martinez of East Palo Alto and Raquel Gonzales of Colma. The other Latino councilmembers are Pedro Gonzalez, South San Francisco; Sal Torres, Daly City; Ruben Abrica and Carlos Romero, East Palo Alto; and Helen Fisicaro of Colma. Whats most signicant is that there is now a San Mateo County Latino PAC (Aguirre was a founding member) which endorses and contributes to candidates. Its not an automatic endorsement if you are Latino, Aguirre pointed out. We are looking for the best candidate. She also serves as a member of the Latino caucus of the League of California Cities. With the demographics changing and reecting more Latino political muscle, Aguirre may be the rst but not the last Latina mayor of Redwood City.
Sue Lempert is the former mayor of San Mateo. Her column runs every Monday. She can be reached at sue@smdailyjournal.com.

Letters to the editor

Adopt smoke-free policies
Editor, On Jan.1, a new California law went into effect clarifying the legal authority of property owners to adopt and implement smoke-free policies at apartment complexes. Senate Bill 332 was supported by the entire San Mateo County Assembly and Senate delegation and was signed by the governor. The San Mateo County Tobacco Education Coalition strongly supports a smoke-free community by offering assistance to property owners interested in creating safer and healthier homes for their residents. Secondhand smoke is dangerous. Over 49,000 deaths are caused by secondhand smoke in our country each year, in addition to longterm harmful effects to exposed children. Adopting smoke-free policies protects tenants from the harmful toxins in their neighbors smoke. Owners benet from implementing a smokefree housing policy at their properties by reducing the cost of turning over a unit after a smoker vacates and by reducing re risk. Owners may receive a discount from their property insurance provider after adopting a smokefree policy. Remember that non-smoking policies dont preclude smokers from living in apartments, just smoking inside of them. Designated smoking areas outdoors can ensure that smoke stays away from the non-smoking children, elderly and other adults who long to breathe safe and healthy air inside their homes. Now armed with legal protections to adopt smoke-free policies, we encourage property owners throughout San Mateo County to adopt smoke-free policies for the nancial benets and for the health of their tenants. For additional information regarding smokefree policies, or for information about smoking cessation classes, call Breathe California at 994-5868.

Cyclists give Caltrain a boost?

Editor, It was an unexpected and delightful surprise to read, Riders give Caltrain a boost, in the Jan. 3 edition of the Daily Journal. Generally speaking, when transit agencies raise fares, ridership goes down, but the new ridership data shows that both revenue and ridership rose in November. I truly hope the new revenue from riders means that there will not be a scal emergency come July, putting an end to two consecutive years of doing so. The only bad news was on-time performance so may I make a suggestion: Put the $3.4 million into maintenance, particularly locomotive maintenance or even replacement if possible. As for explaining the increase in riders, let me offer one explanation in ve letters: bikes! Daily Journal readers may have noticed that the urry of letters to the editor about cyclists being bumped appeared to have ended after Caltrain initiated a two-bike car policy for all trains last year. Those letters indicated that cyclists were resorting to driving because they could not be assured entrance to the train due to the limited bike capacity. So while it is true, as Caltrain spokesman Mark Simon said, People dont take trains to work if they dont have a job, its also true that, cyclists wont take Caltrain to work if they cant be guaranteed a seat.

High-speed rail yet again

Editor, This paper has printed a wide variety of erudite and thoughtful opinions on high-speed rail. Please allow me to continue this ongoing debate by providing a non-erudite opinion. Shoot highspeed rail in the head with the proverbial silver bullet. Then drive a stake through its heart. Next, cut the head from the body and bury in two different places. Then, just to be sure, after one year dig up the body and head and separately cremate them. Finally, scatter the ashes into our beautiful San Francisco Bay. Vince Boston San Mateo

Market wisdom that withers on close look

ing on the month, the temperature in New York City or who wins the Super Bowl. People are simply being fooled by randomness, says Burton Malkiel, professor of economics at Princeton University and author of the nance classic A Random Walk Down Wall Street. Spend enough time digging through numbers and youre bound to nd some that always take the same path, he says. But none can reliably predict the future. The claim: As goes January, so goes the year. The idea is that January works as a barometer for the stock markets fullyear performance: A strong rst month often leads to a year of gains, and a weak one to a year of losses. It comes from Yale Hirsch, father of the Stock Traders Almanac, and looks reliable. Since 1929, the calendar year has followed Januarys lead 60 out of 83 times, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at Standard & Poors. Thats a .723 batting average.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Everybody knows that January predicts the stock markets direction for the year and that the best time to sell stocks is at their spring peak. And among stock market experts, its a sure bet that the market will soar in the year before an election. But what passes for stock market wisdom is suspect when given a closer look. The most common error comes when people spot two events and assume that one causes the other. And it drives economists, math geeks and plenty of money managers nuts. If you look at enough data in enough different ways, youre going to nd something that isnt really true, says Edward Keon, who leads a mathematics team at Prudential Financial. The same seasonal patterns seem to pop up year after year. Some are valuable and some meaningless, Keon says like saying stocks tend to rise or fall depend-

The suggestion that January somehow directs the course of the next 11 months is what irks economists and investors, including Dan Greenhaus, chief market strategist at the brokerage BTIG. Expecting to hear praise for Januarys forecasting powers, Greenhaus attacked the idea on his blog Jan. 2, the day before U.S. markets opened for 2012. He took the S&P 500 indexs returns since 1950, including dividends, and found that the three months following January also appeared to work magic. When April is down, the next 12 months return a negative 0.2 percent. When April is up, the S&P 500 returns 12.8 percent. Its a similar story with February, March and April. But why? Its true that if January is up, the year is up most of the time, he says. But if you look at any month, youll nd the market tends to be up over the next 12 months. And the reason is very simple: the market tends to be up. The S&P 500 has climbed in three out of every four years since 1950.

Moving evicted tenants is big business

By Verena Donbnik
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Property owners across the country bear a burden from the recession: paying a fortune in moving and storage costs to evict tenants who fail to pay their rent. But the owners losses are a boon for the companies that clear out homes. Their business has skyrocketed, making money out of peoples misery, said David Robinson, an attorney for Legal Services NYC, which helps low-income New Yorkers navigate the eviction process. Hardest-hit are ethnic urban neighborhoods, where about twice as many renters are forced to leave as in the gen-

eral population, according to housing experts. Low-income black women, often single mothers, are the most likely to be evicted because they cant afford their rent, recent research showed. For the movers, its a lucrative business, absolutely, said Eli Navon, owner of Eagle Van Lines, a New Jersey-based company that executes eviction moves in the greater New York area. Such jobs typically bring extra money because you have to pack every single thing, from the dishes to the furniture, and sometimes even garbage; were not allowed to throw anything out, said Navon. His clients pay an average of about $2,500 to clear out a two-bedroom apart-

ment, Navon said. And thats not the end of eviction expenses for the property owner, who then must pay for a storage unit to hold the tenants goods for 30 days. Thats how long tenants in New York and New Jersey have to pick up their belongings before theyre discarded or auctioned off as a lot. And some owners take on additional cost when they hire an attorney who specializes in evictions. Kick em Out Quick is the name of a nationwide, online referral service warning owners that nonpaying and nuisance tenants cost you time, money and serious risk to your property. ... Take control and protect your investment.

Chavez: Venezuela wont recognize arbitration body

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CARACAS, Venezuela Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Sunday that his government should pull out of a World Bank-afliated arbitration body and wont recognize its decisions. Exxon Mobil Corp. is one of more than a dozen companies with arbitration cases against Venezuela pending before the Washington-based International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, or ICSID. Chavez announced his decision while referring to a more than $900 million award that Exxon Mobil recently won in another arbitration case before the International Chamber of Commerce. Now theyre threatening us in the ICSID, Chavez said on his Sunday televi- Hugo Chavez sion program. We have to get out of that ICSID. And Ill go ahead and say it: We wont recognize any of ICSIDs decisions. Analysts said that if Chavez follows through on the plan, it could hurt Venezuelas ability to obtain credit internationally and attract oil investments. It also might prompt companies in disputes with Chavezs government to try to freeze the countrys assets, including reneries it owns in the U.S. However, pulling out of the arbitration body would take time, and analysts said Chavezs government still has legal obligations that it cant escape in the pending cases before the arbitration body. Exxon Mobil sought arbitration after Chavezs government nationalized an oil project in Venezuela in 2007. The Irving, Texas-based oil company did not respond to messages seeking comment about Chavezs statement.

Saints marching on to San Francisco in playoffs

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

METAIRIE, La. The New Orleans Saints are still undefeated at home and have lost just three times all season. So, it might be a bit of nitpicking to say the road could be a potential downfall. You win 13, 14 games now, and youre trying to nd something, coach Sean Payton said Sunday. When you start playing well on the road and home, youre probably a better team and weve been able to do that. This will be a good challenge for us. Not just playing on the road, but traveling west. After beating Detroit 45-28 in the

Superdome in the NFC wild-card round, the Saints will travel to No. 2 seed San Francisco for their game n e x t Saturday. And of New Orleans three road losses this season, two were on natural grass, the surface theyll play on at Candlestick Park, where the 49ers went 7-1. I think the Tampa Bay and St. Louis losses really helped us prepare ourselves on the road, wide

receiver Robert Meachem said. The Saints, though, will have history against them. Never has New Orleans won a road playoff game, the neutral-site 2010 Super Bowl notwithstanding. The Saints have lost twice at Chicago, at Minnesota and at Seattle, which came in last seasons wild-card round. As for the teams road struggles this season, they provide a cautionary tale. They had to come from behind to beat Carolina 30-27 on Oct. 9. A week later, the Saints lost at Tampa Bay 26-20, failing to convert a scoring chance in the final minutes

when quarterback Drew Brees threw an interception in the end zone. Then on Oct. 30, the Saints lost to then-winless Rams 31-21 in St. Louis. New Orleans was twice forced to hold off late-surging opponents, winning 26-23 in overtime at Atlanta and 22-17 at Tennessee on a red-zone stand that ended with a sack at the Saints 8. In all, the Saints ve lowest-scoring games have come on the road, three of the ve coming outside. Knowing that, Payton will change up the schedule this time. After normally traveling on Saturday for road

games, the Saints will leave for San Francisco two days prior to the game, going on Thursday after practice and then participating in a Friday walk-through at Candlestick Park. The idea is to give the players a day to acclimate to the two-hour time difference while also getting a feel for the eld. You really have to plan for success and thats one thing our coaching staff does a great job of, Saints cornerback Jabari Greer said. Theyll make sure our schedule is set up to the point where we get adequate rest, get adjusted and we get ready for the game.

DENVER One of the most storied NFL playoff teams ran into a rejuvenated Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos. Sorry, Pittsburgh Steelers. The magic is back. Tebow connected with Demaryius Thomas on an electrifying 80-yard touchdown pass on the rst play of overtime and the Broncos defeated the stunned Steelers 29-23 in the AFC wild-card game on Sunday. Wild doesnt begin to describe it. The play took 11 seconds and was the quickest ending to an overtime in NFL history. Thomas hauled in a high playaction pass at the Denver 38, stiffarmed Ike Taylor and then outraced Ryan Mundy to the end zone. Tebow, who looked as startled as everyone else, headed for his own end zone and knelt on one knee a gesture known far and wide these days as Tebowing. Then he pounded a st in triumph and took a victory lap. Behind Tebows 316 yards passing, the Broncos (9-8) are heading to New England for a second-round game against the top-seeded Patriots on Saturday night.

NEW ORLEANS Les Miles squeezed out a smile, clenched his left hand nervously and extended his right hand toward Nick Saban. The coaches got in an awkward grasp, forced a bit of small talk, and then posed for the cameras behind the crystal trophy that only one of them can hoist toward the Superdome roof come Monday night. This was the last of their pregame obligations one nal chance for Miles to deflect a query about whether top-ranked LSU is the favorite to make it to the BCS title NEXT YEAR, one more opportunity for Saban to show hes got a life beyond his stranglehold on the storied program at No. 2 Alabama (turns out he does, if watching the Weather Channel qualies). Now, lets get down to business. LSU vs. Alabama, Part II. The BCS championship. This time, its for all the marbles. Really. The teams already met two months ago in Tuscaloosa, a socalled Game of the Century that was more of a Brawl in the Backyard, a brutal slugfest that sent both teams scurrying for the training room the next day and left fans around the country feeling a bit cheated by an

Giants rout Falcons 24-2

By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. All the missing pieces defense and a running game are aligning at the right time for Eli Manning and the New York Giants. And just in time to play the Packers. After routing the Atlanta Falcons 24-2 Sunday in the NFC wild-card game, the Giants head to Green Bay next weekend, a place where they will need all the help they can muster. Manning carried the Giants (10-7) for much of the season, hoping the defense would get stingy, the pass rush would materialize and the running game would get on track. Now, all of that is happening. A great mix of run and pass and these guys have a great understanding of what our offense is, Manning said of the help hes receiving. If we can get that run game going like we did in the second half, that opens up a lot of windows. And if the defense remains impenetrable, watch out. If we can play defense like that, we will continue to make ourselves heard in this tournament, coach Tom Coughlin said. Manning punctuated his best pro season by throwing for three touchdowns and scrambling for a 14-yard gain that woke up New Yorks

offense in its rst postseason victory since its Super Bowl upset of undefeated New England four years ago. Next up is as big a challenge: the defending champion Packers (15-1), who won here 38-35 in December. We know they are a good team, Manning said. We played them tough here, did some good things here, we scored some points. We know offensively we are going to have to play strong, score some points. The team that couldnt run the ball will be sprinting there, bringing along a defense the Packers actually might fear. Not to mention the passing offense led by Manning, who hooked up on a 72-yard catch and run by Hakeem Nicks in the third quarter that put away the inept Falcons (107). Manning also connected on a 4yard TD with Nicks in the second period, and a 27-yard TD throw to Mario Manningham in the fourth quarter that nished it off. The Giants last postseason trip to frigid Lambeau Field was a 23-20 overtime victory for the NFC championship two weeks before they upset the Patriots. Cold, I remember that. I remember coach Coughlins face. I remember (tackle) David Diehl sweating and it froze on his hair and he had icicles on his hair, defensive end Justin Tuck said. And I

Manning said, but obviously there were a couple of situations where you have to do it. I am not scared of running to get a few yards. The Giants never really had to look back as the Falcons bumbled their way to their third straight playoff loss under coach Mike Smith and quarterback Matt Ryan. They did a great job of defending us, especially in the second half, veteran tight end Tony Gonzalez said. That shouldnt happen to a team like we have. Were a lot better than this. New York was aided greatly by Atlantas penchant for gambling on fourth downs and failing. Twice the Giants stymied the Falcons on fourth-and-1 as Ryans sneaks went nowhere. The defense also stopped Michael Turner, supposedly the most effective runner on the eld, REUTERS on a third-and-inches late in the New York Giants wide receiver Mario Manningham makes a 4th quarter third period. touchdown catch against the Atlanta Falcons during their NFL NFC wildThat really inspired everybody, to card playoff football game in East Rutherford,N.J.Sunday. be honest with you, Coughlin said. remember us winning. averaged 5.5 yards a carry, 2 yards Those plays that our defense made really inspired everybody. Hopefully, we can go back there more than in the regular season. Atlanta missed on a fourth-down and do it again. For all of Jacobs and Bradshaws The tempo in the rst playoff game success, it was Mannings escape and try in overtime that cost the Falcons at MetLife Stadium was set by New 14-yard dash on third down in the a game against New Orleans during Yorks defense, which never allowed second period that got the Giants the season. While they negated Atlanta to get going, and by the rolling. Jacobs soon broke a 34-yard New Yorks recently revitalized leagues lowest-ranked rushing run, and Manning hit Nicks on a post pass rush for much of the day, the Falcons couldnt gain any traction game, which ran for a season-high pattern to put the Giants up 7-2. 172 yards, 92 by Brandon Jacobs and I dont think anyone is game- on the ground, being held to 64 63 by Ahmad Bradshaw. The Giants planning for me to run the ball, yards rushing. off game in history. The new rules called for both teams to get the ball in the extra period providing there wasnt a touchdown by either the offense or defense. Tebow took care of that in a hurry. Making his first appearance in the playoffs after going 7-4 as Denvers starter, Tebow outdueled Roethlisberger, a two-time Super Bowl winner, who fell to 10-4 in the playoffs. The Broncos snapped a three-game losing streak that had many wondering if they were even worthy of their first playoff in six seasons, and it kept the Steelers from their 34th playoff win, which would have broken a tie with the Cowboys for the most ever. Tebow led Denver to 20 secondquarter points they had scored just 13 in the quarter in his 11 starts but a 20-6 halftime lead didnt last long. Receiver Mike Wallace had a 1-yard TD run, Shaun Suisham kicked a short field goal and Jerricho Cotchery grabbed a 31-yard TD pass with 3:48 left in regulation to tie it.

BRONCOS
Continued from page 11
The Steelers (12-5) lost despite Ben Roethlisberger rallying injury-depleted Pittsburgh from a two-touchdown halftime deficit with 10 points in the final 10 minutes. Pittsburgh called tails for the overtime coin toss, and it came up heads. Tebow, who engineered five fourthquarter comebacks and three OT wins in the regular season, wasted no time in finding Thomas to end the game. Mundy was playing in place of Ryan Clark, the Steelers leading tackler who sat this one out because of a blood condition thats exacerbated at altitude. Clark was one of several Steelers sidelined or injured. Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey was out, replaced by Doug Legursky, who had a bad snap right before halftime that moved Pittsburgh out of field goal range. After Thomas raced down the Broncos sideline, sending the crowd,

including Broncos executive vice president John Elway, into a frenzy at Sports Authority Field, which was rocking like the old Mile High Stadium back in the 1990s. And Elway, the architect of so many those magical moments at the old place, jumped for joy in his suite. The Patriots walloped the Broncos 41-23 last month, sending Tebow into a funk that included seven turnovers and a 40 percent completion clip and prompting Elway to implore him to pull the trigger in the playoffs. Did he ever. Tebow completed 10 of 21 passes but Thomas hauled in four of them for 204 yards after his top target, Eric Decker, was lost to a left knee injury on the first play of the second quarter when he was hit by linebacker James Harrison. Tebow also ran 10 times for 50 yards and capped his best day as a pro with the toss to Thomas. These two teams had played the first ever regular season overtime game on Sept. 22, 1974, in Denver. Now, they played the first non-sudden death play-

challenge standing in the way of a championship season a great team theyve already beaten. When we take the eld, well be an emotional, fired-up football team, Miles vowed. Alabama (11-1) didnt even make the championship game of the Southeastern Conference, but the Crimson Tide managed to sneak back into the national title race when Oklahoma State lost late in the season. In the strangest of twists, Sabans team will be the one celebrating its second national title in three years with a mere split of the season series with LSU.

You can tell, because were playing in the national championship game again. When you come here, youve got to buy into the program. Thats part of it. Weve bought in and had success. Saban did break character a few times Sunday. When someones cell phone went off in the back of the room with a loud song, the coach interjected, Is that a little Al Green? Turn it up, man. He drew laughs when telling how he grilled anyone who wanted to go out on a date with his daughter. None of them ever really answered me, he said, managing a slight smile. They were so intimidated so I never got much good information. the rst meeting with LSU if not for the dismal performance by its two kickers. Cade Foster botched three eld-goal attempts, including a 52yarder after the Tide went the wrong way with its overtime possession. Jeremy Shelley also missed.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

minuscule 8.8 points a game. LSU, with not one but two AllAmerican cornerbacks in Tyrann Honey Badger Mathieu and Morris Claiborne, isnt far behind. The Tigers have allowed the second-fewest points (10.5) and are no lower than sixth in the other three major rankings. While those who prefer highscoring games might be ipping around the dial Monday night, these teams arent apologizing to anyone. In fact, they give rave reviews to LSU-Alabama I. I thought it was beautiful, Crimson Tide defensive coordinator Kirby Smart said. That was grown men out there battling. It was the most physical game since Ive been at Alabama. It was brutal the pounding, all the big hits. That game also marked a turning point for LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson. He began the senior year of his checkered college career with a four-game suspension, punished for his involvement in a bar ght, but took over when Jarrett Lee threw a pair of interceptions against the Tide. Jefferson guided the Tigers to their biggest victory and started the nal four games. Another win over the Tide, he said, will make my legacy at LSU that much sweeter. Miles veered away from a question about whether one more victory would stamp LSU as one of the best teams in college football history. Jefferson had no such qualms. If we do win this game, I think we will go down as the greatest team, he said.

Continued from page 11
old-fashioned defensive struggle in a college game now dominated by point-a-minute offenses. Neither team made it to the end zone in that rst meeting, even with the benet of extra time. LSU won a battle of eld goals, claiming a 9-6 overtime victory and stealing away the top spot in the rankings from the Crimson Tide.

Kickers
Given these are two defenses that take it personally when someone gets close to the goal line, Foster and Shelley are likely to be called on again in the championship game. But the Alabama offense hopes to make it a little easier on them this time. Fosters other misses were from 44 and 50 yards. Shelley failed to convert on a 49yarder, far beyond his normal range. Weve got to get them closer. Weve got to get them kicking extra points. We cant be going for three points every time, Alabama lineman William Vlachos said. Obviously, its not the kickers fault when were throwing them out there for 50-yarders every time. Thats on the offense, thats on the defense, thats on everyone else but the kickers. As a team, were not putting the blame on them, thats for sure.

More scoring
Everyone expects more scoring in the rematch, but theres no way its turning into one of those back-andforth shootouts weve seen so many times this bowl season. Id expect it to be big-boy football, Miles said Sunday during his time on podium. LSU (13-0) has already put up a body of work that clearly establishes it as the nations best team. In addition to that Nov. 5 win at Alabama, the Tigers have victories over two other major bowl champions, Rose Bowl winner Oregon and Orange Bowl champ West Virginia. In all, theyve knocked off eight teams that were ranked in The Associated Press Top 25, with only three of those games in Baton Rouge. The only team Ive told them not to schedule is the Green Bay Packers, Miles quipped. Maybe its only appropriate for the Tigers to nd one more daunting

Seize the moment

Perhaps sensing just how fortuitous Alabama was to get a do-over, Saban wants his players to seize the moment. I would like for them to focus on the opportunity, not the pressure part, he said, so that they really are zeroed into the mental practice and the things that when they go out there and play, theyre going to be condent in doing their job the way they need to do it to have success. That sort of robotic talk is typical of Saban, who spits out championship teams with assembly line precision, devoid of any air. While Miles disjointed grammar and goofy antics make it difcult to take him seriously at times, there are no such issues with Saban. Hes all business, mixed in with a healthy dose of fear and autocracy. Hes not like that all the time. He does have a personality, junior Robert Lester said. But hes hard

Sabans routine
Saban even revealed the morning routine he has with his wife. We get up at 6:15 every day and watch the Weather Channel for about 30 minutes before we start our day, Saban said. I get most of my marching orders in that 30minute segment of what we should do or how I should do it or why its important to do it that way, what I need to talk to the team about. I get coached up very well in that 30minute segment of the Weather Channel. He might want to see if theres a Kicking Channel. Alabama likely would have won

New PSU coach OBrien meets Nittany Lions

By Genaro C. Armas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. A smiling Matt McGloins eyes lit up when asked about new Penn State coach Bill OBriens star pupil at his other job. After nishing up his duties as the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach of the New England Patriots through the NFL postseason, OBrien will leave Tom Brady, and join McGloin full-time in Happy Valley. OBriens second day as Penn States new leader included a standing ovation after being introduced at a basketball game, and his rst meeting with McGloin and his new players. So, its now time for McGloin, the Nittany Lions starting quarterback, to start studying up on lm of Brady, the

Patriots standout signal-caller. Thats it right there. Thats enough ... It couldnt get any better, McGloin said Sunday when asked how much it would Bill OBrien help to be coached by someone who tutored Brady. What else did McGloin like about the New England offense? I dont know, that Brady threw for like 5,000 yards, McGloin said with a chuckle. Thats 5,235 yards to be exact. And Brady isnt done. In fact, OBrien was scheduled to y back to Massachusetts on Sunday night to

help Brady and the Patriots prepare for the Denver Broncos. New England had a bye this week after securing the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and learned late Sunday that Denver a 29-23 overtime winner over Pittsburgh in the wild-card round would be the opponent. OBrien will likely remain with the Patriots the rest of the week, though hes also expected to name the rest of his Penn State coaching staff within a few days. Im sure youll gure it out, OBrien said Saturday after his introductory news conference about his travel schedule. Ill be on the move. Just like during a whirlwind weekend in which he was announced as the successor to red Hall of Famer Joe Paterno. Division Is winningest coach (409 victories) was ousted by

school trustees two months ago in the aftermath of child sex abuse charges against retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. OBriens ve-year contract, nalized Friday, included base compensation starting at $950,000, with a 5percent increase each season. OBrien will also collect another $1 million a year for radio and television work, as well as a $350,000 Nike contract. By Sunday, he was doing radio and TV interviews during the basketball teams 88-82 loss to No. 12 Indiana. As OBrien ventured into the stands to shake hands with pep band members and students, the crowd erupted into cheers of We Are ... Penn State! I cant tell you how excited I am to get started, he said Saturday. That enthusiasm apparently carried over into Sundays team meeting.

Afterward, players expressed relief that a turbulent two months that began with the departure of their beloved coach had nally ended with a new leader eager to start a new era in Happy Valley. Very enthusiastic. Tough, tough football coach, guard John Urschel said. We were all excited to talk to him ... especially the guys on the offense. In between, the Nittany Lions had to put up with countless questions and rumors about who might be their next coach. The players, who just returned from semester break, learned about OBriens hiring watching television or through Twitter postings. Its like a big monkey is off our backs, tailback Silas Redd said. We can focus on the team and getting ready for next season.

Woodsswing coach to publish book in the spring

By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KAPALUA, Hawaii Hank Haney has written a book about the six years he spent as Tiger Woods swing coach, a volatile time in which Woods went from winning nearly half of his tournaments to a scandal that derailed his pursuit of golf history. Without giving away any details until The Big Miss goes on sale in the spring, Haney believes the book will be hard to put down. I get asked all the time about Tiger, what it was like to work with him, Haney said in a telephone

Hank Haney

interview. I felt like I had a front row seat to golf history. It just kind of chronicles a little bit of what I went through, what I dealt with, how I coached and the observations I

made. I think theres a lot of things that people are going to nd interesting. Haney began working with Woods at the Bay Hill Invitational in 2004. They parted ways a month after the 2010 Masters, where Woods made

his return to golf after being exposed for multiple extramarital affairs that shattered his image and led to divorce. Most of the people involved with Woods have signed a nondisclosure agreement. Haney said he signed no such thing I didnt even have a contract, he said although he said the book was not intended to take jabs at anyone. Mark Steinberg, Woods agent at Excel Sports Management, said he was aware of the book but that Woods had not seen any excerpts and would have no comment. Haney was asked whether he thought Woods will like it.

If he reads it, I dont think it will be a book that bothers him. Its hard to say, Haney said. I think anybody who reads it will think its interesting, very fair and honest, and thats what I wanted to do. I was on that job for six years. There were 110 days a year I was with him. I stayed at his house for close to 30 days a year. You make a lot of observations. The book will be released by Crown Archetype, part of the Crown Publishing Group at Random House, Inc. It is scheduled to be published March 27 one week before the Masters and issued simultaneously in print and digital formats in the United States and Canada.

Haney wrote the book with Jaime Diaz of Golf Digest, whose coverage dates to when Woods was a teenager and Diaz played golf with Woods and his father. Diaz also spoke at the memorial service for Earl Woods. He said the title was collaboration. It has multiple meanings, Haney said. The Big Miss was golf jargon. The big miss of a drive, obviously thats been part of his game. The big miss of an opportunity? Thats really where we got the idea. It was a missed opportunity that Tiger and I had that we experienced working together. That all comes out in the book.

SACRAMENTO Jason Richardson scored a season-high 22 points, Glen Davis added a seasonbest 20 and the Orlando Magic beat the Sacramento Kings 104-97 on Sunday despite playing much of the game without foul-plagued Dwight Howard. The All-Star center had ve points and four rebounds in 20 minutes and spent most of the rst three quarters in foul trouble. He didnt get his rst rebound until 4 minutes into the fourth and was scoreless before converting a three-point play with 6:35 remaining, putting the Magic ahead 87-85. Tyreke Evans had a season-high 28 points and eight assists for the Kings. DeMarcus Cousins, also hampered by fouls, had 16 points and 10 rebounds. J.J. Hickson added 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Marcus Thornton scored 13 points. Ryan Anderson had 19 points and 11 rebounds for Orlando. Von Wafer made three 3-pointers and scored 12 points, and Hedo Turkoglu added 11 points. With the Magic clinging to a one-

point edge, Turkoglu banked in a 3 with the shot clock running down to give Orlando a 93-89 lead with just less than 3 minutes remaining. Andersons 3-pointer from the corner and Turkoglus layup gave the Magic a 102-95 cushion with 35 seconds left. Guarding Cousins, Howard picked up his second foul at the 10:14 mark of the rst quarter and promptly left the game. He was called for a third foul midway through the second quarter and had zero points and rebounds in 6 rsthalf minutes. Howard was whistled for his fourth foul at 9:57 of the third quarter. On his way to the bench, a comment earned him a technical foul. Cousins also was in foul trouble. He picked up two fouls in just more than a minute in the third quarter and went to the bench at the 6:54 mark with ve fouls. The game was the start of a fourgame road trip for the Magic, which ends with a Jan. 16 game against the Knicks. The Kings next game is Tuesday in Philadelphia, which is the start of a ve-game road trip in seven days.

Devil Insidelifts Hollywood

By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ast week, I mentioned tips for coexisting with urban wildlife. I forgot two key points. First, our advice helpline: 650/340-7022, ext. 314. Next, Im inviting readers to a unique open house. Do you remember the local television shows Bay Area Backroads and Mac and Mutley? The popular host was Doug McConnell, a truly beloved media personality with a great mane of hair. Ive met my share of media folks and none are nicer, none more genuine. On Jan. 28, were going to lock him up! He and other local luminaries will be inside our wildlife rehabilitation enclosures during the rst day of a two-day event. On Jan. 2829 (noon-4 p.m. both days), PHS/SPCA is giving the public a rare opportunity to check out our recently completed wildlife rehab areas. Since its our slow season for wildlife, putting special human guests inside the enclosures seemed like a good idea. When we opened our Center for Compassion on Rollins Road in Burlingame four months ago, animal adoption areas were completed, but our wildlife facilities werent. Now, were ready. Many of the enclosures are on the rooftop sanctuary, hidden from the street level and mostly out of view for visitors. Theyll soon house up to 200 sick, injured and orphaned hawks and owls, ducks and ducklings, songbirds, seabirds and mammals. On Jan. 28-29, well take advantage of our brief down time, throw open the sanctuary doors to the public to raise awareness for this donor-supported, vital, mostly unseen work. The free event will include activities for kids, food and drinks, theme music (Born to be Wild, Come Fly With Me ... you get the idea). If you visit on Saturday, 1 p.m.-3 p.m., meet Doug McConnell and these cage-mates: PHS/SPCA President Ken White, Jamis MacNiven (owner of Bucks Restaurant in Woodside), George Metropulos (local teacher and former Belmont mayor), San Mateo County Supervisor Adrienne Tissier, Foster City Councilwoman Pam Frisella and a few others. Scott oversees PHS/SPCAs Adoption, Behavior and Training, Education, Outreach, Field Services, Cruelty Investigation, Volunteer and Media/PR program areas and staff from the new Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion.

LOS ANGELES The fright ick The Devil Inside scared up a monstrous $34.5 million opening weekend to help Hollywood exorcise its recent box-ofce demons, according to studio estimates Sunday. The surprise hit from Paramount Pictures debuted well above industry expectations as horror fans crowded theaters for the lowbudget tale about exorcists trying to free a woman possessed by evil spirits. Between The Devil Inside and solid results for holdover lms, Hollywoods business soared over the rst full weekend of 2012 after a sluggish holiday season that ended a ho-hum year at the box ofce. Overall domestic revenues totaled $144 million, up 29 percent from the same weekend last year, when True Grit led with $14.6 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. Paramount already is well into prot with The Devil Inside, an independently produced movie that the studio bought for $1 million. Its the latest such low-budgeted horror acquisition for the studio, which bought Paranormal Activity cheaply and turned it into a $100 million sensation that was followed by two hit sequels. Like Paranormal Activity and another Paramount hit released in January, Clovereld, The Devil Inside is a ctional tale shot in a mock documentary style. According to Paramount, 59 percent of viewers for The Devil Inside were under 25 and 85 percent were under 35, prime viewers for Hollywood who had not turned up in their usual numbers for much of last year. With a sales campaign that bypassed traditional newspaper and TV advertising in favor of online teasers and cryptic marketing, Paramount managed to intrigue young adults who have not been all that interested in the rush of family lms and Academy Awards contenders that crowded into theaters over the holidays. The Devil Inside was the only new wide release of the weekend after the holiday crush, historically a good time for something different to sneak in and become an unexpected hit, said Don Harris, head of distribution for

Devil Insidetopped the weekend box ofce with $34.5 million.

Top ten movies

1.The Devil Inside,$34.5 million. 2.Mission:Impossible Ghost Protocol, $20.5 million ($27.7 million international). 3.Sherlock Holmes:A Game of Shadows, $14.1 million ($43.4 million international). 4.The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,$11.3 million ($12.6 million international). 5.Alvin and the Chipmunks:Chipwrecked, $9.5 million ($30.1 million international). 6.War Horse,$8.6 million. 7.We Bought a Zoo,$8.5 million. 8.The Adventures of Tintin, $6.6 million ($5.3 million international). 9.Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,$5.8 million. 10.New Years Eve,$3.3 million ($5.3 million international).
Paramount. For that under-25, under-35 audience thats looking for something else, that rst weekend in January has always been a great weekend to release a movie, Harris said. When we saw that weekend open, we took it. The Devil Inside bumped another Paramount hit, Tom Cruises Mission:

Impossible Ghost Protocol, out of the top spot after two weekends at No. 1. Ghost Protocol slipped to No. 2 with $20.5 million, raising its domestic total to $170.2 million. Just a day before The Devil Inside opened Friday, industry analysts had expected Ghost Protocol would remain No. 1 this weekend. The most optimistic forecasters gured The Devil Inside might manage $15 million, less than half the business it actually did. This one caught everyone looking, but the devil got his due, Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian said. Its just very difcult to track the horror fan base, no question about it. The Devil Inside is following the pattern of many horror movies, which pack in crowds on opening day then tumble quickly after that. With $16.85 million on Friday, The Devil Inside did nearly half of its business in the rst day, with revenues falling to $11.75 million Saturday and an estimated $5.9 million Sunday. Critics trashed The Devil Inside, and even the fans who came out to see it gave it mixed to bad reviews. Paramount reported that 16 percent of the audience gave it an A grade, while 19 percent gave it an F. Two-thirds of the audience gave the movie a grade of C or lower.

early 2011. The series is set in a seemingly peaceful city situated in a post-apocalyptic world. Many of its themes are socially conscious topics relevant to today, including energy consumption. It was always our intent to have this project live and breathe online, and we felt Yahoo would be the perfect home, said Gary Goetzman, co-founder of Playtone, Hanks production company. For Yahoo, Electric City is its rst entry into scripted original programming. Yahoo has been beeng up its online video with reality series and wrap-up news shows, many of which rank among the most-viewed series online. Electric City will be distributed online and through tablet devices with the usual interactivity and social media Street Billiards. Attics biggest problem, Lyum said, is the lack of parking downtown. Lyum wasnt always into cooking, in fact, he is a career changer who used to work for a high-tech company doing marketing work. After he watched the movie Ofce Space he decided he wanted out of the cubicle life. I decided to pursue something better and theres no looking back, he said. He considers cooking to be akin to making art, only you eat the nished product. Lyum is happy to be working in the city he grew up in and said the food in successor agency once its RDA, like the others, dissolves on Feb. 1. The Belmont City Council will consider the same question at its Tuesday meeting. The successor agencies give the cities the legal power and responsibility to wrap up the agencies affairs. From then on, these new entities are responsible for making all payments and performing all obligations required or entered into prior to the dissolution. The successor agency is entitled to get up to 5 percent of the 2011-2012 tax to notify neighbors located 300 feet from the area of the planned installation and pay a fee, which is not specied, to cover the processing costs. The aggressive timeline calls for the Planning Commission to revise and approve the plan Monday, Jan. 9. On Tuesday, Jan. 17, the City Council will introduce the ordinance. Its at this time the City Council can adopt it as an urgency measure, effective immediately, to meet the requirements under a pending lawsuit with ExteNet Systems, City Attorney Gus Guinan said previously. The regularly introduced ordinance should be adopted at the City Councils Feb. 2 meeting. Concerns about applications to attach devices to existing poles in the public right-of-way in residential neighborhoods began in late summer. T-Mobile and ExteNet Systems have put in 27 applications to install antennas in residential areas of Burlingame to meet the growing need for cell service. These smaller devices are proposed to be money. People will be going to the free clinics for health care and Shelter Network for housing and Second Harvest for food. They will need help, Groom said. If the county approves the program, it will fund its portion out of general fund reserves. The Silicon Valley Community Foundation followed its 2009 grant efforts with another round of funding in 2010 but San Mateo Countys cashstrapped budget did not afford them the opportunity to participate. connections, but also a few new features. Most notably, it will be available in several languages, including Spanish and French. Along with producing, Hanks will voice a character. On the surface, the Electric City is utopia and under the surface, Electric City is secrets and heavy-handed state control, says Erin McPherson, vice president and head of original programming at Yahoo. What we found really compelling is that this is perfect for a highly digital audience, a lean-forward audience who likes to utilize the medium of the Internet. In October, Yahoo launched a slate of programming targeted at women. Its planning another batch of programming for February that will focus on comedy, including partnerships with Bill Maher and the Funny or Die website. the suburbs is as good as in San Francisco or any other big city. Just because it is in the suburbs doesnt mean San Mateo cant be a food destination, he said. To get to the restaurant, you must rst enter Under Attic, a saloon on the ground oor of B Street that offers predinner cocktails or post-dinner concoctions.

Since the city did not have a policy in place about wireless communications facilities, residents requested a moratorium on installation to allow for more research a request the city granted. The moratorium also covered the pending applications resulting in a lawsuit from ExteNet which, among other claims, requested to be exempt from the ban. In November, Judge George Miram ruled the temporary ban could include previously submitted applications. The Planning Commission meets 7 p.m. at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road in Burlingame.

A permit application would be reviewed by either the Planning Commission or community development director, depending on the details of the plan. Administrative approval, for example, could be given to facilities which will be located in a commercial zone and are more than 2,000 feet from any residential district.

Iran defiant in nuclear ambitions

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

World brief
Yemen Cabinet approves immunity law for president
SANAA, Yemen Yemens Cabinet has approved a law granting President Ali Abdullah Saleh and anyone who has worked under him immunity from prosecution for any alleged crimes committed during his 33-year rule. The law, approved by the government on Sunday, stipulates that the decision to grant Saleh and his security forces immunity is legally binding in Yemen, and cannot be reversed or Ali Saleh altered. The law was passed despite nationwide protests demanding the longtime leader be put on trial for the killing of hundreds of people during the countrys 11-month popular uprising. A Gulf-brokered agreement Saleh signed in November grants him and his aides immunity in exchange for him handing over powers to his deputy, Yemens parliament must still approve the law. Yemens parliament must approve the law as a formality after the Cabinet vote.

TEHRAN, Iran Iran has begun uranium enrichment at a new underground site built to withstand possible airstrikes, a leading hard-line newspaper reported Sunday in another show of deance against Western pressure to rein in Tehrans nuclear program. The operations at the bunker-like facility south of Tehran, reported by the Kayhan daily newspaper, are small in comparison to Irans main enrichment site. But the centrifuges at the underground labs are considered more efcient and are shielded from aerial surveillance and protected against airstrikes by up to 300 feet (90 meters) of mountain rock. Uranium enrichment is at the core of the international standoff over Irans nuclear program. The U.S. and its allies fear Iran could use its enrichment facilities to develop high-grade nuclear material for warheads. Iran which claims it only seeks nuclear reactors for energy and research has sharply increased its threats and military posturing against stronger pressures, including U.S. sanctions targeting Irans Central Bank in attempts to compli-

cate its ability to sell oil. A senior commander of the Revolutionary Guard force was quoted as saying Tehrans leadership has decided to order the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic oil route, if the countrys petroleum exports are blocked. Revolutionary Guard ground forces also staged war games in eastern Iran in an apparent display of resolve against U.S. forces just over the border in Afghanistan. Iranian ofcials have issued similar threats, but this is the strongest statement yet by a top commander in the security establishment. The supreme authorities ... have insisted that if enemies block the export of our oil, we wont allow a drop of oil to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. This is the strategy of the Islamic Republic in countering such threats, Revolutionary Guard deputy commander Ali Ashraf Nouri was quoted as saying by another newspaper, the Khorasan daily. The latest statements are certain to ramp up tensions with the U.S. and its allies, which are trying to increase pressure on Iran to punish it for its disputed nuclear program. For the moment, however, U.S. ofcials are seeking stronger diplo-

matic and economic pressure on Iran rather than increasing threats of military action. A number of experts say Iran is unlikely to Leon Panetta close the strait because that could hurt Iran as much as the West. In an interview broadcast Sunday, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Iran is laying the groundwork for making nuclear weapons someday, but is not yet building a bomb. Panetta reiterated U.S. concerns about a unilateral strike by Israel against Irans nuclear facilities, saying the action could trigger Iranian retaliation against U.S. forces in the region. We have common cause here with Israel, he said. And the better approach is for us to work together. Panettas remarks on CBS Face the Nation reflect the Obama administrations long-held view that Iran is not yet committed to building a nuclear arsenal, only to create the industrial and scientic capacity to allow one if its leaders to decide to take that nal step.

The Kayhan newspaper, which is close to Irans ruling clerics, said Tehran has begun injecting uranium gas into sophisticated centrifuges at the Fordo facility near the holy city of Qom. Kayhan received reports yesterday that show Iran has begun uranium enrichment at the Fordo facility amid heightened foreign enemy threats, the newspaper said in a front-page report. Kayhans manager is a representative of Irans Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the nal word on all important matters of state. Irans nuclear chief, Fereidoun Abbasi, said Saturday that his country will soon begin enrichment at Fordo. It was impossible to immediately reconcile the two reports. Iran has a major uranium enrichment facility in Natanz in central Iran, where nearly 8,000 centrifuges are operating. Tehran began enrichment at Natanz in 2006. Nouri said Irans leadership has made a strategic decision to close the Strait of Hormuz should its exports be blocked. One-sixth of the worlds oil ows to market through the strait, which is jointly controlled by Iran and Oman at the mouth of the Persian Gulf.

HISTORY
Continued from page 3
ity was delayed. Sixteen semi-circular housing units (pods) each painted different bright colors for identication, radiated out from a central security station where the jailers could

view every prisoner that was in the doubleoccupancy cell (total 768 beds). This facility was to be run electronically with 374 closedcircuit television monitors and electronically controlled doors. No keys. A recreation center was developed inside the walls of the facility as well as dental and medical facilities. For those who wanted to pursue their education, the Five-Keys Charter High School is available to pursue a high school diploma.

Opening deadlines were changed many times but, nally in August 2006, 14 months behind schedule, the new state-of-the-art facility opened with 600 inmates secure in their cells. The buses continue to roll to the jail in the mornings but the food has improved and less noise is now generated due to the design of the new jail house facility. The vegetable

elds are still being planted for the next crop to be served at the jail. In January 2012 demolition of the uninhabitable 1934 art deco jail began.
