Dog-walking thief gets 35 years to life in prison

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A former pet walker will spend 35 years to life in the dog house after authorities say the parolee used his clients keys to retrieve jewelry rather than their canines his third strike. On Tuesday, Nicolas John Barbanica, 32, was sentenced to 35 years to life in prison after pleading
no contest to charges of residential burglaries, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti. Barbanicas defense attorney, James Thompson, requested the judge not consider one of his previous two strikes due to a behavior issue and instead asked for drug treatment. While Judge Lisa Novak thought Barbanica was a sympathetic case, she denied the request.
Barbanica nabbed more than $5,500 worth of jewelry from three victims in October and November 2009, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. He gave his girlfriend some of the jewelry and pawned the rest, allege prosecutors who charged him with four counts of rst-degree burglary, two counts of second-degree burglary and two counts of grand theft.
Barbanica worked for several San Mateo residents who gave him their home keys so he could fetch their dogs for walks. In those two months, he allegedly stole from three people residing in two of the homes. Barbanica was also ordered to pay restitution of $7,600 to the four named victims. He has four prior convictions for
residential burglary, including a 2000 incident in which he was sentenced to seven years prison and a 1998 incident in which he received a year in jail. After violating probation in that conviction, he was sent to prison for four years. Barbanicas criminal history also includes a 2004 car burglary for which he received 32 months in custody.

Ralston Hall on the campus of Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont has withstood the biggest earthquakes the region has ever seen but might not make it through the next big one, according to experts, prompting school officials to announce the closure of the iconic mansion later this year for retrotting.
Built in 1864 by the founder of Bank of California, Ralston Hall remained intact after the 1906 earthquake and Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 but engineering experts can no longer ensure the safety of the buildings inhabitants if the next big one strikes the region. The building has problems with its foundation and since Ralston Hall is listed as a National Historic Landmark,

Seven vie for school board seat

San Carlos trustees to interview for two vacancies
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Police reports
Who still has pumpkins?
A pumpkin was thrown against a window on the 1300 block of Bernal Avenue in Burlingame before 10:38 p.m. Friday, Jan. 6.
Seven have applied in hopes of lling two vacancies on the San Carlos Elementary School District Board of Trustees a decision which could be made by the three-member board Thursday, Jan. 12. On Nov. 8, trustees Carrie Du Bois and Mark Olbert were elected to the Sequoia Union High School District Board of Trustees and San Carlos City Council, respectively, which created two vacancies on the board. In December, the three-member board decided on an appointment process rather than call for a special election. Applications were accepted until Monday at which point seven had applied Donald Cox, Carol Elliott, Kathleen Farley, Tom Hausken, Lauren Pachkowski, Peter Tzifas and Jason Wacha. On Thursday, the board will have the rst opportunity to talk with candidates and possibly make a decision. Candidates represent a range of backgrounds, according to their applications. Cox is an adjunct professor for the Graduate School of Education at Santa Clara University who has a history of working in education. Over the last three decades, hes worked as an elementary and middle school teacher, assistant principal and principal in addition to his current position. Elliott is an active volunteer with the district
and neighboring Sequoia Union High School District for the past 10 years. Shes served as site manager, on various Parent Teacher Associations, on the San Carlos Education Foundation, Sequoia High School Education Foundation and on the Spring Fling Advisory Board for two years. Farley, who is vice president of product marketing and marketing for Redwood City-based Spotmixer, Inc., is a White Oaks parent. She was a charter member of Teach For America Long Beach where she helped secure grant funding while teaching middle school history and reading. Hausken is a board member for the San Carlos Charter Learning Center whose children will soon be entering high school. Hes helped with a number of school groups and a couple plays, as well as volunteering with the San Carlos Childrens Theater since 2005. Professionally, hes worked as a market analyst for Strategies Unlimited since 1999. Pachkowski has been an active parent volunteer for eight years and observed board meetings for about seven years. She believes serving on the board would be the next logical step in supporting her childrens education. Tzifas, who ran for the board in the last election, is a parent volunteer and engineer/construction manager. During the election, Tzifas main issue was communication, specically improving it and giving preference to families
who live within the district. Wacha is the vice president of corporate affairs; general counsel for MontaVista Software in San Jose but also works for a number of other groups. He describes himself as that parent who got involved with schools by grilling teachers and principals. Since then, hes spoken to new Heather School parents, worked with the PTA and served as vice president of the San Carlos Education Foundation. On Thursday, the board meeting will include interviews, during which each candidate will be asked to address the board for up to three minutes about his or her candidacy. After he or she has spoken, the board president will ask two to three randomly drawn questions of the candidate who will then have two minutes to answer. Those questions will not be asked all at once. After all have spoken and answered a question, the board will discuss the candidates. If a decision is not made that evening, the board could choose nalists and schedule a candidate-forum style meeting Wednesday, Jan. 18. After the public forum, the board will make its nal appointment. Newly appointed trustees would join the board Thursday, Jan. 26. The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 12 at Central Middle School library, 828 Chestnut St. was also taken into custody when he joined the other two, according to police.

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.

Kioskli, of San Francisco, worked for Diebold, the company that services the automatic teller machines for Bank of America. On July 4, 2010 a bank holiday he allegedly visited six ATMs in San Francisco and another in Daly City to steal approximately $200,000 by replacing the real cash with photocopies of bills. Each time, surveillance video reportedly caught Kioskli using his work card key to enter the machines. The next day, Kiosklis wife led a missing persons report and the ATM thefts were discovered when customers complained about receiving the counterfeit money during transactions. Kioskli remained at large until May 11, 2011 when an Arizona ofcer found his Daly City arrest warrant during a trafc stop in Phoenix. San Francisco has yet to file its charges against Kioskli. Although that county has more charges pending against him, San Mateo County had rst dibs on prosecution because its warrant is the one that caught Kioskli.

State revenue falls below governors projections

SACRAMENTO Just a week after Gov. Jerry Brown made his pitch for tax hikes and more spending cuts, the state controller on Tuesday reported that California is collecting less tax revenue than the governor projected and warned lawmakers that more cuts may be needed if the slide continues. Controller John Chiang released his
Jerry Brown
cash report for December and said revenue came in $165 million below what Brown projected last week when he released his budget proposal for the 201213 scal year, which begins July 1. He said
the states ongoing structural decit, in which annual spending commitments outpace tax revenue, is continuing despite recent budget cuts. Coupled with higher spending tied to unrealized cost savings, these latest revenue gures create growing concern that legislative action may be needed in the near future to ensure that the state can meet its payment obligations, Chiang said in statement.
NEW YORK A biotechnology company announced it has developed a machine to decode an individuals DNA in a day for $1,000, a long-sought price goal for making the genome useful for medical care. Life Technologies Corp. said Tuesday it was taking orders for the technology, which it expects to deliver in about a year. The Carlsbad, Calif., company said three major research institutions had already signed up for the $149,000 machine: the Baylor College of Medicine, the Yale School of Medicine and the Broad Institute of Cambridge, Mass. A second company, Illumina of San Diego, also introduced a new technology Tuesday that it said will decode an entire genome in about 24 hours. Its statement did not estimate the cost per genome. The machines, called sequencers, allow scientists to identify the arrangement of the 3 billion chemical building blocks that make up someones DNA. Since the rst sequencing of the basic human genome was announced at the White House in 2000, the costs of sequencing DNA have steadily tumbled.

Two schools nominated for national honor

Two San Mateo County schools North Star Academy and Woodside Elementary are among the 35 public schools nominated to the 2012 National Blue Ribbon Schools Program by State Superintendent Tom Torlakson. Torlaksons ofce announced the nomination Tuesday. The BRSP recognizes some of the highest-performing and most-improved schools in the nation. Each year, the U.S. Department of Education outlines the categories for nomination. These schools all share a deep commitment to the education and well-being of their students, said Torlakson. Weve recognized them on the state level, and now I hope their outstanding work and remarkable progress will be further spotlighted nationally. In 2012, there are two categories: Exemplary high-performing schools and exemplary improving schools. To be eligible for preliminary nomination for the 2012 award, a school must have made the federal goals as outlined in Adequate Yearly Progress in 2011 and 2010 and also made its state Academic Performance Index targets (school-wide and for all numerically signicant student groups) in 2011 and 2010.

GOP urges high court to dump new voter maps

By Paul Elias
SAN FRANCISCO A group of California Republicans is seeking to dump new Senate districts planned for this years election, drawing the state Supreme Court into the oncea-decade ght over drawing political boundaries. The legal ght Tuesday appears to have boiled down to the high courts interpretation of a 47-word passage
in the California Constitution. The clause empowers residents to le legal challenges seeking to block new redistricting plans when a ballot measure after the same result is likely to qualify. Prominent Republican attorney Charles Bell argued that Republican interests appear to have gathered enough signatures to qualify such a ballot initiative asking voters to overturn the new maps. Bell said that random sampling of
the 711,000 signatures gathered found 72 percent of them about 513,000 to be valid, making it likely the measure will qualify for the ballot because supporters need 504,760 valid signatures. A lawyer representing Democratic Secretary of State Debra Bowen said that the verication process is ongoing and argued that it was premature to conclude the proposed ballot will qualify for the November ballot.

District: Students adapting to pay rules

Starting with this spring semester, students in the San Mateo County Community College District will need to pay all fees or be enrolled in a payment plan before the semester begins a rule many followed. Students who didnt meet the Jan. 4 deadline would be dropped from the class. Payment rules were changed because the district was faced with large waiting lists, an increasing student accounts receivable and was implementing a payment plan that it hopes will help students manage their fees. On Wednesday, the Board of Trustees will hear an informational update about the implementation of the new rules. In the beginning of December, it appeared that 44 percent of students were in danger of dropping due to non-payment, according to a staff report prepared by Interim Executive Vice President Kathy Blackwood. These students received at least four emails reminding them that they were to be dropped as well as automatic phone reminders. By Jan. 1, the number dropped to 27 percent. Phone calls again went out Jan. 3 and Jan. 4. By Jan. 5, when students were actually dropped, only 1,575 or 7 percent were dropped. The district processed $1.663 million in payments between Jan. 1 through Jan. 4 compared to $87,000 during those same four days in 2011. While some students were frustrated with the number of reminding emails they received, we believe they had the effect of getting students to pay, Blackwood wrote. Before the rules went into effect, numerous meetings were held throughout the district in December. In addition, messages appeared on the distrcit-run websites when students logged in reminding them of the change. Under the new program, all fees must be paid at registration. Students who did not pay by Jan. 4 risk being dropped from classes. Alternatively, students can sign up for a payment plan by the same date. Signing up for the plan costs $20 and students will be allowed to make up to ve installments between registration and April 5. A total of 1,413 students signed up for a payment plan with Sallie Mae. The district will work with Sallie Mae in the coming weeks to improve service. And, faculty will be surveyed after the start of the semester to see how the rst day of class went. The board meets 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 11 at the District Ofce, 3401 CSM Drive, San Mateo.

Steven Tyler to Supreme Court:Watch the language
LOS ANGELES If the U.S. Supreme Court is willing to listen, rocker Steven Tyler has something old school to say about nudity and profanity on broadcast TV. Theres a certain charm and passion and magic in not showing full-frontal nudity or using constant profanity, Tyler said, as the high court prepared to take Steven Tyler up a First Amendment case on the regulation of the airwaves. Its really hot when you only show a little, he said. Granted, the Aerosmith singer tossed off a bleeped strong expletive or two on Foxs live American Idol after joining it as a judge last season. I have (cursed on air) a couple times, because it is 2012, Tyler said. But an occasional swear word is different than a stream of them, which he suggested could happen without rules and wouldnt be something he welcomes. If you start surng channel to channel and youre on NBC and its (expletive) and channel 4 and its (expletive) and channel 7 and its (expletive), it wouldnt be fun to surf, he said.
Backers believe that new policy changes will help more students complete degree and certicate programs and transfer to University of California and California State University campuses.
Community college leaders call for overhaul

By Terence Chea
SAN FRANCISCO California community college leaders have signed off on major policy changes aimed at boosting graduation and transfer rates in the 112-campus system, despite concerns the measures could hurt disadvantaged students. The 22 recommendations will go to the state Legislature for review after the California Community Colleges governing board on Monday endorsed the measures recommended by the state-appointed Student Success Task Force. Backers believe the proposals, if implemented, will help more students complete degree and certicate programs and transfer to University of California and California State University campuses. That would help reduce the number of dropouts and create a more educated workforce. Were really doing all that we can to ensure student success, Chancellor Jack Scott said Tuesday. We want to have as few casualties as possible.
Measures endorsed by the board would:

Give priority registration to rst-time stu-
dents and students making progress toward their academic goals. Take priority registration or fee waivers from students who fail to make adequate progress. Require all incoming students to develop education plans shortly after matriculating. Have campuses give priority to courses needed for degree and certicate programs over enrichment courses catering to older adults. Require campuses to keep scorecards to track completion and transfer rates of students of different backgrounds. Some of the measures will require approval by the state Legislature or the community college systems Board of Governors. Some can be carried out by school administrators, while others just call on campuses to adopt best practices. Critics say the reform plan will move Californias community college system, the nations largest with 2.6 million students, away from its tradition of offering nearly universal access to higher education. Some say without additional funding for student counseling and services, the proposed changes could hurt low-income students who need extra help to reach their academic goals.
High court weighs policy against curse words on TV

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court is considering whether government regulators may still police the airwaves for curse words and other coarse content at a time when so many Americans have unregulated cable television, and the Internet is awash in easily accessible adult material. The justices are hearing arguments Tuesday in a First Amendment case that pits the Obama administration against the nations television networks. The material at issue includes the isolated use of expletives as well as nes against broadcasters who showed a womans nude buttocks on a 2003 episode of ABCs NYPD Blue. The broadcasters want the court to overturn a 1978 decision that upheld the Federal Communications Commissions authority to regulate both radio and television content, at least during the hours when children are likely to be watching or listening. That period includes the prime-time hours before 10 p.m.

Two charged with selling alcohol to minor killed in crash

Quake hits off Indonesia causes panic

BANDA ACEH, Indonesia A powerful earthquake hit waters off western Indonesia early Wednesday, prompting ofcials to briey issue a tsunami warning. Panicked residents ran from their homes, some eeing to high ground by car or motorcycle, but there were no reports of injuries or serious damage. The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-7.3 quake struck 260 miles (420 kilometers) off the coast of Aceh province just after midnight. It was centered 18 miles (30 kilometers) beneath the ocean oor. People in the provincial capital, Banda Aceh still deeply traumatized by the 2004 monster quake and tsunami poured into the streets as sirens blared from local mosques. Some headed to the hills, choking roads with trafc. Im afraid, said Fera, a resident, who skidded off on her motorbike with her two children and her mother. In the town of Simeulue, patients were
Two South San Francisco residents, one a clerk at the Good N Rich Dairy Market, were arrested and charged with furnishing alcohol to a minor that led to the Highway 101 death of Margaret Qaqish in February of last year. On Jan. 10, 2012, Department of Alcohol Beverage Control investigators arrested 45-year-old Abduhl Azeem Buksh, a clerk at the market at 130 S. Spruce Ave. in South San Francisco, and 51-year-old Amelia Chin of Alameda, formerly of South San Francisco. Buksh, of South San Francisco, and Chin are facing possible criminal charges of furnishing alcohol to 18-year-old Margaret Qaqish of Daly City on the night of Feb. 4, 2011, when she purchased alcohol at the market in clear view of both Buksh, the store clerk, and Chin, an acquaintance of Qaqish. Chin is the mother of one of Qaqishs friends and allegedly accompanied Qaqish inside the store to help her purchase the alcohol, according to the ABC. A few hours later, Qaqish was killed in an alcohol-related crash on Highway 101 southbound near San Francisco. Qaqish was in a car belonging to the mother of Sean Quintero, 18, of South San Francisco, sitting in the middle of the rear seat as they and two other teens drove back to South San Francisco after a night of reportedly heavy drinking in Daly City and San Francisco. At approximately 3:30 a.m., as the group loudly discussed what radio station should play, Quintero drove at roughly 60 mph toward cars stopped for an unrelated accident. Unable to stop in time, Quintero reportedly veered to the right, crossing over two lanes of trafc and rear-ended a car that hit a third before stopping. No one was injured in those two vehicles but inside Quinteros car two of the passengers had minor injuries like bruising and chest pain. Qaqish was thrown forward by the impact and knocked unconscious. Authorities have not said whether she was wearing a seat belt. She died at the hospital. Quintero was arrested by the California Highway Patrol for allegedly driving under the inuence of alcohol. Quintero pleaded no contest to misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter and felony drunk driving in November while also admitting causing great bodily injury. In return for the plea, he was promised four years and four months in prison by the court when sentenced. That sentencing is scheduled for today. The District Attorneys Ofce pushed for ve years in prison. The California Highway Patrol reported nding an open alcohol container in the car and Quinteros blood alcohol level 90 minutes later tested .15 and .16. The ABC investigator who worked on the case conducted a series of interviews, examined evidence and was able to determine that Buksh and Chin supplied alcohol to Qaqish. In addition to the arrests, ABC will be seeking disciplinary action against the market owner.

Syrian president vows to crush conspiracy

U.S. rescues Iranians at sea, assails nuke activity
WASHINGTON A U.S. Coast Guard cutter rescued six Iranian mariners from a vessel in distress in the Persian Gulf, the second such incident in a week of tension punctuated by the Islamic republics death sentence to a young Iranian-American man and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clintons sharp criticism Tuesday of Tehrans uranium enrichment activity. The rescue was another reminder of U.S. efforts to demonstrate the humanitarian value of its naval presence in the Gulf, a strategic waterway that the Iranian government has threatened to close in retaliation for international sanctions over its nuclear program a dispute which only shows signs of escalation. On Tuesday, Clinton condemned Iran for enriching uranium at an underground bunker to a level that can be upgraded more quickly for use in a nuclear weapon than the nations main stockpile. She said Tehran was breaking its international obligations and demonstrating a blatant disregard for its responsibilities.
BEIRUT By turns defiant and threatening, President Bashar Assad vowed Tuesday to use an iron hand to crush what he called the terrorists and saboteurs behind Syrias 10-month-old uprising in which thousands of people have been killed. In his first speech since June, Assad showed a steely confidence in the face of the uprising, one of the bloodiest of the Arab Spring. But opponents called it a rambling address by a leader who is
dangerously out of touch. Assad repeated his past claims that a foreign conspiracy and terrorists are driving the revolt, not peaceful protesters seeking to reform the country. We will not be lenient with those who work with outsiders against the country, Assad said in a nearly twohour speech at Damascus University in a conference hall packed with cheering supporters. He also issued a veiled threat against those who have yet to choose sides. Those who stand in the middle are traitors, Assad said, flanked by Syrian flags. There is no alternative.

OPINION
California, the effort to curtail the abuse of DXM is far from over. It took seven years of persistence by the three of us to see the law come to fruition. But even now, as Senate Bill 514 becomes law throughout California, the effort to curtail the abuse of DXM is far from over. The new law only works if parents, teachers and other adults get involved and play a signicant role. They are our partners in making this law effective. Yes, the main benet of this law is that DXM will not be sold to minors. But there also is a component of this effort that necessitates parents making themselves aware of this drug and what it can do and educating their children to its dangers. Make no mistake; the abuse of DXM is growing. The California Poison Control System reports that telephone consultations provided for those aged 6 to 17 years regarding abuse of DXM increased 850 percent between 1999 and 2010. According to WebMD and the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, one in 10 teenagers say theyve used DXM to get high-making it more popular than LSD, cocaine, ecstasy or meth. One-third of a bottle of cough and cold medicine that contains DXM is enough to get high. A single bottle would be enough to cause more dangerous effects on the heart and nervous system. Intentionally ingesting excessive amounts of DXM-containing cold and cough medications that also have phenylephrine, acetaminophen and antihistamines increases the dangers dramatically.
Robo-tripping law requires helps from all of us to work

By Wayne Benitez and Ron Lawrence
t was an all too familiar situation: a 15year-old girl at Palo Alto High School well-liked but troubled, too. She had just ingested several pills of what she and her friends called Red Paint, pills coated with dye that made your tongue red. Those pills contained dextromethorphan (DXM). DXM is a drug that is safe and effective when taken as directed. We have learned, however, that when taken at much higher doses, DXM can cause hallucinations, loss of motor control, vomiting, paranoia, numbness, lethargy, slurred speech and "outof-body" sensations similar to PCP and LSD. Fortunately, the girl was rushed to Stanford Hospital before something truly tragic occurred. Still, that incident set us on a long journey; one we hope sees teens becoming much less likely to suffer the consequences of abusing DXM. For the past seven years, we have worked with state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, on a state law that prohibits the sale of cough and cold medicines containing DXM to minors. The legislation authored by Simitian, Senate Bill 514, became state law on Jan. 1, 2012. Simitian embraced the issue in 2004 after we entered his annual There Oughta Be a Law contest back when he was in the Assembly. We won the contest, and Simitian proposed a new law. Joining us in our efforts to protect our youth from the ill-effects of DXM was Dr. Ilene Anderson, a clinical professor in the School of Pharmacy at the University of California, San Francisco. It took seven years of persistence by the three of us, along with Dr. Anderson, to see the law come to fruition. But even now, as Senate Bill 514 becomes law throughout
Guest perspective
Seizures and liver injury do occur. SB 514 is going to help protect our youth from a dangerous problem. We also hope that it also strikes a blow to a whole subculture that has emerged around the illicit use of DXM one that we come in contact with regularly as police ofcers. The use of DXM is referred to on the street as Robo-tripping or skittling. It also is known by several nicknames, including Poor Mans PCP, Red Devils and Vitamin D. On the Internet, there are actually websites devoted to instructing kids which medicines to take and how much to take to get the biggest high. Some even provide recipes for the best way to achieve the desired high based on a users height and weight. Ten years ago, when we rst learned of the dangers of dextromethorphan, there was very little awareness of the problem. Annual surveys asking students about drug and alcohol use didnt include questions about DXM. Now many do. Simitians bill is a signicant step forward in the effort to protect minors from the ravages of DXM. But it can only go so far. All of us law enforcement ofcers, parents, teachers and community leaders need to work together to raise awareness of how DXM can harm our students and provide the support to keep them for doing so.

Track policy means new restrictions

recently enacted policy means the days of running around a local high school track while a game is being played on the field are over. A few years ago, the San Mateo Union High School District enacted a policy in which members of the community could no longer run around the track during school hours even if there were no students using the field or the track. That was a result of some unsavory characters lingering around the field and creeping people out. Inconvenient for some regular folks who wanted to run around the track and not bother anyone, but understandable. The new policy enacted about a month ago means anyone accustomed to using the field after school and during high school games will not be allowed. The official reason? Safety and liability. According to school district officials, there was a growing concern that an athlete during a game could run off the field and run into a runner on the track, or a football, soccer ball or lacrosse ball could fly off the field of play and injure someone. Someone could get hurt, and someone could sue the school district. And thats too bad. For years, high school tracks have served as community fitness centers with people of all walks of life using them to exercise on a foot-friendly track and away from the dangers of the road. Runners could pace themselves and maybe meet a few likeminded people. It is a place to build community. They are funded through the school district, but with the communitys tax money. There was a sense of a common shared area. But of course, district officials say the primary purpose of a school facility is for the students. I get that. But it is just another indication of our changing society. Where once we were filled with shared places where a sense of community could be built with different activities, those places are slowly diminishing for a variety of reasons. Perhaps it is a romanticized notion, but there seems there was a time in which people used public facilities and treated them with respect, and unwritten rules dictated that you keep to yourself and dont bother others. If youre running slow in the inside lane, you step aside for a faster runner. If a ball is kicked in your direction, you kick it back. If you got hit with a ball, you walked it off. And if there was an athlete in the field of play who came onto the track, you got the hell out of the way since they were playing an organized game that meant something. You might even offer a word of encouragement. District officials say local athletic directors were asked to post schedules of upcoming games so people can adjust their workouts accordingly, so its not as if the facilities are totally closed for community use. There will still be access on certain nights, on weekends and during the summer. But it might be a matter of time before the gates are locked and there will be one less shared space for all of us. And thats definitely too bad.

Letters to the editor

Who Ronald Reagan really was
Editor, I think the Republican hero Ronald Reagan has to be exposed as the leader he truly was. For those who are too young to remember his term in ofce I will sum it up here. Ronald Reagan was elected because the country had just been humiliated by the hostage crisis in Iran. Islamic militants in Tehran, Iran had seized the U.S. embassy and held its staff hostage in the year of 1979. President Jimmy Carter was unable to gain their release, and thereby the public turned to Ronald Reagn hoping he would return national pride. San Franciscos streets were lined with the homeless, and tent cities made up the city center plaza. By 1983, Ronald Reagans third year in ofce, he had tripled the national debt. When Ronald Reagan cut social programs and deregulated industries, he gave corporations huge prots and severely harmed the lives who were less well off. How can someone dare not to invoke Reagans name when speaking about America's hard times? There was a famous name for Reagans policies: Reaganomics. The rich got richer, the poor got poorer and the middle class simply disolved. Then, just as now, it was very hard for college graduates to nd work. In reality, Ronald Reagan never did anything right in life except acting. value to the state appropriate management and is an immense nancial risk to Californias budget and a fundamentally awed program. All non-partisan reviews from the State Auditor, the Legislative Analyst, the Inspector General and UC Berkeley agree that the Legislature should not assume $115 billion in new HSR debt, since Gov. Jerry Brown simultaneously proposes huge cuts to seniors, children, K-12 supplies and welfare. A recent eld poll taken in December 2011 shows that 75 percent of Californians do not want funds spent on HSR. So, new taxes will not be approved by voters if the legislature proceeds with this boondoggle and assumes new HSR debt ($230 billion after interest is paid back). Sacramento has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

world. The solid report from Alcoa seemed to quell those concerns and lifted traders hopes for strong corporate earnings reports in the coming weeks. The S&P 500 index rose 11.38 points, or 0.9 percent, to 1,292.08. All 10 of its industry groups rose. Among the biggest gainers were materials companies such as Alcoa, which benet from rising prices for metals, energy and other commodities. Food commodities mostly edged lower, but orange juice futures shot up 11 percent. The Food and Drug Administration said it would increase testing for a fungicide that was found in low levels in orange juice. Tiffany & Co. plunged 10 percent, the most in the S&P 500 index. The jewelry retailer cut its forecast for full-year prot and said sales grew slowly in the U.S. and Europe during the holiday season. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 69.78 points, or 0.6 percent, to 12,462.47. The Nasdaq composite index gained 25.94, or 1 percent, to 2,702.50. Hedge fund manager Peter Tchir said recent market swings exaggerate the importance of minor news such as Alcoas guidance and the Fitch announcement.
Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Tiffany & Co.,down $7 at $59.94 The jewelry retailer said that its U.S.sales growth weakened as shoppers pulled back on buying pricey baubles during the holidays. Eastman Kodak Co.,up 20 cents at 60 cents The troubled photography company said it has restructured its business in an effort to cut costs and create shareholder value. DSW Inc.,up $5.47 at $48.11 The footwear retailer raised its 2011 earnings guidance citing stronger sales and said it will open 35 to 40 new stores in 2012.

Fossil Inc.,up $1.69 at $80.67 The Richardson,Texas-based watchmaker said it will buy its rival,Skagen Designs Ltd.,for $236.8 million in cash and stock.
U.S. stocks rose solidly Tuesday after European markets rallied and corporate bellwether Alcoa predicted stronger demand in 2012. The Standard & Poors 500 index closed at its highest level since July. European markets soared after Fitch Ratings said that it will not downgrade Frances credit rating this year. Frances CAC-40 index closed 2.7 percent higher, and Germanys DAX rose 2.4 percent. A downgrade for France could scuttle the regions efforts to stem its debt crisis. Europes bailout fund needs France and Germany to keep their sterling credit ratings so it can borrow at affordable rates. Kicking off U.S. corporate earnings season, aluminum maker Alcoa said late Monday that its fourth-quarter revenue far outpaced analysts projections. CEO Klaus Kleinfeld predicted that global aluminum demand will increase 7 percent in 2012. Stronger aluminum demand often signals broader economic growth. A wide range of industries need aluminum to make their products. Many analysts had feared weaker corporate prots in the fourth quarter because of Europes deepening economic troubles and slower growth in the developing
Hiring rises,but job openings dipped

WASHINGTON U.S. employers stepped up their hiring in November but pulled back slightly on the number of jobs they advertised. The mostly favorable report shows companies are gaining more condence in the economy and lling more of their open positions. It follows other encouraging data on hiring that suggest 2012 may be a better year for job growth. Employers lled almost 4.15 million jobs in November, a 3 percent increase from the previous month, the Labor Department said Tuesday. It also nearly matched Septembers hiring level, which
was the highest since May 2010. Since the recession ended more than two years ago, most of the improvement in the job market has been because of a sharp drop in layoffs, which have returned to pre-recession levels. Henry Mo, an economist at Credit Suisse, said hiring hasnt rebounded as quickly. In that regard, it is encouraging to observe that hiring rose, Mo said. Overall hiring has picked up since plummeting to 3.6 million in October 2009 the lowest level in the 10 years the government has tracked the figure. That same month, the unemployment rate hit 10 percent, the highest level since the recession began in
December 2007. Hiring still has a long way to go before returning to pre-recession levels. Gross hiring exceeded 5 million each month in the three years before the downturn. Companies and governments posted 3.16 million job openings in November, according to the Labor Departments monthly survey on Job Openings and Labor Turnover. Thats down from 3.22 million job postings in October and 3.4 million in September, which was a threeyear high. It generally takes one to three months for employers to ll job openings. Given Novembers modest decline, job gains may fluctuate in the first couple of months of this year.

NEW YORK Bidding will begin this week for words and brand names such as .sport, .NYC and .bank to join .com as online monikers. Up to 1,000 domain name sufxes the .com in an Internet address could be added each year in the most sweeping change to the domain name system since its creation in the 1980s. To some, the system will lead to .cash. To others, it will mean .confusion. The idea is to let Las Vegas hotels, casinos and other attractions congregate around .Vegas, or a company such as
Canon Inc. to draw customers to cameras.Canon or printers.Canon. The new system will also make Chinese, Japanese and Swahili versions of .com possible. Some companies and entrepreneurs have already expressed interest in applying for a sufx and possibly earning millions of dollars a year from people and groups wanting a website that ends in that name. Others are skeptical, though. They worry that an expansion will mean more addresses available to scams that use similar-sounding names such as Amazom rather than Amazon to trick people into giving passwords and credit card information. Others worry that new sufxes could create additional platforms for hate groups or lead to addresses ending in obscenities.

Jackson one and done with Raiders

By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA Reggie McKenzie made clear on his rst day as Raiders general manager that theres a new regime in Oakland. Soon after ofcially signing his contract to be the rst general manager since longtime owner Al Davis death, McKenzie red coach Hue Jackson in a bold rst move as he looks to give the organization a fresh start. There comes a time when change is necessary, McKenzie said Tuesday. For the
Raiders the time is now. The Raiders organization, with respect and deference for all its tradition and history, is about to embark on a new era. The era will begin without Jackson, who was red after going 8-8 in his rst Hue Jackson season as head coach. McKenzie wanted to bring in his own guy to rebuild the organization. Finding that coach will be the rst major
task for McKenzie, who also must bulk up the personnel department and evaluate the roster in what promises to be a busy offseason. Owner Mark Davis said McKenzie will decide on the new coach and the personnel decisions, with the coach ultimately reporting to the general manager. Thats a major change from how the organization was run before Davis father, Al, died of heart failure on Oct. 8. Al Davis made all the major decisions when he was in charge of the team, with many of those now falling to McKenzie as Mark Davis focuses on nding a
new stadium and other off-eld issues. Change happened on October 8th, Davis said. The one thing I know is what I dont know. The one thing I did know was I needed to bring the right people in here. ... My feeling always has been that if my father wasnt here we needed someone to run that football side of the building. I needed to nd the right person. I truly believe that Reggie McKenzie is the right man for this job. McKenzie had spent the past 18 years in the

Tigers pull out win

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Terra Nova girls basketball team has some lofty goals it wants to accomplish this season and to reach those, coach Kareem Summerville ramped up the preseason competition this season. Given their tough non-league schedule, perhaps the Tigers can be forgiven for looking past the Peninsula Athletic League season, where they are the overwhelming favorites to win their fourth division title and PAL tournament championship. Mills, however, gave the Tigers a wakeup call in the PAL opener in Millbrae Tuesday, taking a 30-23 lead late in the third quarter. The Tigers, however, are not ranked 18th in the state for no reason. They nally woke up following a Terilyn Moe 3-pointer on the nal shot of the third quarter and carried that momentum into the fourth where they pulled away from the Vikings for a 51-37 win. We came out slow, said Moe, who scored a game-high 23 points, pushing her past the 2,000-point mark for her high school career. After the West Coast Jamboree (the most prestigious preseason tournament on the West Coast), we took some off for rest and never got back (into a groove). It was evident in the rst half as Terra Nova managed just 15 points and was tied with Mills. In the second half, however, Terra Nova (1-0 PAL Bay, 9-3 overall) nally found its groove, pushing the tempo and then locking down the Vikings defensively in the fourth quarter. Down seven with 2:29 left in the third quarter, the Tigers ended the period on a 9-0 run and then out-scored Mills (0-1, 7-6) 19-7 in the nal eight minutes. The rst half was like a warmup, Moe said. We knew we werent playing our game (in the rst half). We didnt come out strong from the beginning. There is something about Mills that gives the Tigers trouble. The Vikings are the last PAL team to beat the Tigers in the regular season, going back to 2010, and gave them all they

Mills point guard Kristen Lastofka gets bumped by Terra Novas Lynette Mackey as she attempts to make a pass during the Tigers51-37 win over the Vikings Tuesday.
Having played together at the high school and club levels for some time now, San Mateos Danielle Coyle and Jennifer Ticzon have become really good friends. So with Ticzon celebrating her 18th birthday on Tuesday, Coyle did what any great friend would do score the game-winning goal to make sure her girl celebrated her special day the right way. With time winding down in San Mateos match against Menlo-Atherton, the Bearcats earned a corner kick which they executed to perfection when Shannon Wischers cross found Coyles head and lasered its way into the back of net. The Bearcats then held on the nal ve minutes of the match for the 1-0 win. I was looking for the ball, Coyle said of the play. We practice that so much and Im so glad it nally came through in the game. When the referee blew the nal whistle, Ticzon, who stood on the sideline after being subbed for, bolted onto the eld and jumped into Coyles arms in celebration. In fact, the entire San Mateo team rejoiced in a solid win against a good M-A team it sure made the postgame pastries taste a little sweeter. Usually Danielle is the one to go to on corner kicks, Wischer said of her cross. So I was trying to aim for her or the center of the box so at least someone could get her head on it. Prior to Tuesdays match, Menlo-Atherton ran Burlingame off the eld in a 5-0 win that saw Jennifer Kirst score a hat trick. But in the win, the Bearcats defense bent, but did not break. We knew they were a good team, Wischer said. So we just needed to out there and play hard and make sure we played well on defense and also got numbers up top to score.

Sequoia rallies to beat South City

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When Sequoias Lily Discher scored in the waning moments of the Cherokees 4-2 win over host South City, it capped a performance that left no doubt she was the best player on the pitch. Although her ofcial stat line has Discher scoring the lone goal, she had a foot in the three others as well. While she did not ofcially record assists on Sequoias rst three goals, there is no doubt her play impacted all four Cherokee tallies. This is really huge, said Discher. This was our rst real big game. Making the performance even bigger was the fact Sequoia (3-0 PAL Ocean, 4-3-1 overall) found itself trailing 2-0 after 12 minutes as South City scored on its rst two shots of the game. Wow. We had a 2-nothing lead, said South City coach Dan Marcucci. I think we got overcondent after the goals. The goals coming easy early hurt us. We slacked off and let them back in the game. What allowed Sequoia to pull out the win was the fact the Cherokees pulled even with about 20 minutes left in the rst half. (Going down 2-0) really took me by surprise, said Sequoia coach Melissa Schmidt. We came out at. Our defense wasnt organized. The Cherokees pulled ahead 3-2 with a goal 10 minutes into the second half with Discher punctuating the win with a breakaway goal in
the 80th minute. Having that much time (left in the rst half after tying the score) gave us a lot of confidence, Schmidt said. It was a new game with [60] minutes to play. After the first dozen minutes, however, it appeared South City (01, 2-4-1) would cruise to victory. The Warriors needed just three minutes to take a 1-0 lead. Earning a corner kick, South Citys Shannon Marmolejo sent the kick into the 6yard goal box. The ball bounced and Alma Gomez was right there to calmly side foot a shot into the net. Gomez made it 2-0 seven minutes later. Veronica Ramirez received the ball near mideld, turned and sent a perfect ball through the Sequoia defense. Gomez ran right by her defender and broke in on goal, slotting a shot past the charging goalkeeper and just inside the post for her second goal of the game. Thats when Discher took over. The Cherokees pulled a goal back two minutes later when Discher stole the ball on the wing and carried it to toward the endline. Her cross found Emma Martino alone in the middle of the penalty box, buy her shot was kicked away by Sequoia goalkeeper Stacie Garcia. Unfortunately for the Warriors, the rebound went right back to Martino, who buried her second try. The Cherokees forged the tie in the 19th minute on a similar play as their first goal. Again, Discher made a run into the South City penalty box. Garcia came off her line and smothered the shot attempt off Dischers foot. The loose ball

bounced right to the foot of Amanda Lynn Rapues, who side footed a shot home. Sequoia took the lead for good 10 minutes into the second, with Discher doing the dirty work again. She received the ball on the wing and made a long run down the sideline, eventually ending up with a 1on-1 with the goalie. Again, Garcia aggressively came off her line and collided with Discher. The ball popped into the air and Sequoias Kate Boudreau came running in and blasted a shot off the volley that found the back of the net. It was only fitting, then, that Discher capped the scoring on a perfect through ball from Mariana Frey. [Discher is] denitely one of the best players in the league,

Harbaugh makes 49ers instant winners

By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA From Nick Saban and Steve Spurrier to Dennis Erickson, winning college coaches have long failed to translate their success to the next level. Jim Harbaugh needed just one year to emphatically break that mold and he didnt even have to change his unique rah-rah style to transform the San Francisco 49ers (13-3) into a Super Bowl contender this season. They head into Saturdays home playoff game against Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints (14-3) as an underdog, just as he likes it. Harbaugh has become the favorite for Coach of the Year by doing things his way from Day 1. He gives up his seat in rst class in favor of a spot in coach with his players. He sits down in the cafeteria to chat up kicker David Akers, punter Andy Lee and long snapper Brian Jennings hardly a trio on any team accustomed to much one-on-one time with the head coach. Harbaugh acknowledges he doesnt need to
socialize with others around the league, aside from Baltimore Ravens coach and big brother, John, that is. He doesnt care about making friends in the NFL or being popular among his peers. He once said, If the 49ers success offends you, so be it. He took a chance that Alex Smith would thrive playing for the former NFL QB, and brought back the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick for another season even handing off his playbook to Smith in good faith well before the lockout lifted last summer and Smith signed his $4.9 million deal. I like what he told us the other day, to keep the powder dry, running back Anthony Dixon said Tuesday. When they used to light the TNT bombs back in the day and they had the powder that led up to them, he just wants us to stay calm, stay ready, stay in it, concentrating and focusing on the details and come Saturday let it explode. The highly sought after Harbaugh left Stanford days after nishing with a 12-1 record and a commanding Orange Bowl victory over Virginia Tech last January for a $25 million, ve-year deal right down the freeway with the Niners. He was challenged to turn
around a franchise that went 6-10 last season and hadnt earned a playoff berth or posted a winning record since 2002. While warning improvement is a process, Harbaugh promised an immediate culture change and to build a contender yet hardly anyone would have envisioned 13-3, the NFCs No. 2 seed and a rst-round playoff bye. Jim Harbaugh, he instilled an identity to this team, Hall of Fame wide receiver and former 49ers great Jerry Rice said. Players insist its rare to have a coach who never calls them out publicly or even in front of teammates, someone who has their backs. Those are the head coaches that you like, safety Donte Whitner said. Like Rex Ryan, he will never throw his players under the bus and he puts all the pressure on himself. Coach Harbaugh does the same thing. A lot of coaches, when they dont want the pressure on them, dont want the hands pointed at them or the media to turn on them, they put things out to the media that really shouldnt be out there, That stuff never works and players really understand that and locker rooms understand that.
Akers had options last offseason, yet the 49ers were high on his list because of Harbaugh and Akers connections to the coaching family even if it meant the inconvenience of moving his family cross-country. Akers booted an NFL single-season record 44 eld goals and earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl nods. His whole thing at the beginning was building the foundation and weve been able to do that, Akers said. To be 13-3, youve had great games. We really havent had the blowouts, so you nd a way to win. I would say yes, that blue-collar atmosphere, what that means is youre coming here on a daily basis and these guys are going out and working hard when maybe somebody else isnt. Harbaugh has done something a handful of others jumping from college to the NFL couldnt. Saban won a BCS championship at LSU before departing to take over the Dolphins. He went 15-17 in two years in Miami before resigning to take the job at Alabama. Spurrier built Florida into a national powerhouse and won a national title, then went 12-20 in two seasons with the Redskins and resigned.
Cullen leads Wild past Sharks 5-4 in shootout

ST. PAUL, Minn. The Minnesota Wild watched a two-goal lead with a little more than three minutes remaining in regulation vanish. Their response was enough evidence for coach Mike Yeo that his teams moxie has returned after a rough skid
right through the holidays. Matt Cullen scored in the third period and in the first round of the shootout and put six shots on goal to help the Wild recover from a late stumble Tuesday night to beat San Jose 5-4 and stop the Sharks four-game winning streak. That was the team we were three weeks ago, Yeo said. couldnt, you know, I couldnt stop smiling. Davis said he had targeted McKenzie as his desired general manager in the weeks after his fathers death and noted it was awkward when he ran into him at the Raiders game in Green Bay last month. About an hour after Oaklands season ended, Davis had the organization formally request permission from the Packers to interview McKenzie. They sat down for a six-hour interview last Wednesday, with former Raiders coach John Madden assisting Davis. They quickly nalized the deal and McKenzie signed it Tuesday morning. He then immediately red Jackson, marking a rapid fall for the man who was in charge of personnel decisions and coaching after Davis death.
The Wild went 1-8-3 after reaching the best record in the NHL and entered the night tied for 12th in the league and down to seventh in the Western Conference. This was just the third time in their last 13 games they scored more than two goals. For that, they got two big points. Boy, we needed that, Cullen said, adding: Its time. Weve struggled here for Jackson made the trade for quarterback Carson Palmer after starter Jason Campbell broke his collarbone, costing the Raiders a 2012 rst-round draft pick and a conditional 2013 second-rounder. While Palmer showed signs of giving the Raiders a big-time quarterback, he was unable to get Oakland to the playoffs for the rst time since 2002, raising questions about how effective that trade was. After starting the season 7-4, the Raiders lost four of their nal ve games to mark their ninth straight season without a winning record or a playoff berth. A late-game collapse at home against Detroit on Dec. 18 and a 38-26 loss to San Diego at home in the season nale did in the Raiders and ultimately Jackson. Jackson joined the Raiders as offensive
long enough, and you cant afford to struggle too long in this league. Teams pass you by, and we see where we are in the standings. We want to climb. Their effort and energy was so strong Yeo didnt even want to nitpick about the goals by Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau 22 seconds that tied the game with 2:44 remaining in regulation. coordinator in 2010 under head coach Tom Cable and engineered a dramatic improvement as Oakland more than doubled its point total and improved to 8-8. That helped him get the job when Davis decided not to retain Cable. The offense wasnt quite as effective with Jackson as head coach, with injuries to star running back Darren McFadden, receiver Jacoby Ford and Campbell played a role in the decline. But the biggest problems this past season were an inability to curb the teams propensity for penalties and on the defensive side of the ball. The team committed 163 penalties for 1,358 yards, setting records in both categories, as Jackson was unable to instill the discipline he promised.

Mayweather was sentenced to 87 days in jail, but likely will serve less time. Mayweather and Pacquiao are boxings top two stars, and they have circled each other warily for more than two years. Both have said theyre eager to ght, yet still havent reached a deal for whats likely to be the most lucrative bout in boxing history. While Pacquiao appeared to be more eager for the ght when the two rst began verbally sparring in 2009, Mayweather has taken the lead in recent months, stepping up his campaign since Pacquiaos narrow win over Juan Manuel Marquez last November. Mayweathers tweets appear to put the megafights future in Pacquiaos hands and a decision likely will be made soon.

Mayweather calls out Pacquiao on Twitter

Floyd Mayweather
F l o y d Mayweather Jr. has taken his quest for a ght with Manny Pacquiao to Twitter. The unbeaten Mayweather publicly challenged and
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum traveled to the Philippines this week to meet with Pacquiao, planning to choose the eight-division champions next opponent. Arum, who has repeatedly said Mayweather wont actually agree to ght Pacquiao because he fears losing, has a list of candidates including Marquez, Miguel Cotto, Lamont Peterson and Timothy Bradley Jr. for Pacquiaos next bout.

Burlingame Tuesday as the Panthers fell to a red-hot Aragon team 3-2. The loss drops Burlingame to 0-3 in the PAL Bay Division nine points behind the Dons who now have wins against Terra Nova, Woodside and the Panthers heading into an intriguing game against M-A Thursday. I thought the rst half was similar to our game against Woodside, said Aragon head coach Will Colglazier. (Against Woodside) we bent but didnt break. Here, we bent and broke. It took that early goal to wake us up from our stupor. The Burlingame goal came in the 23rd minute on a lovely cross by Lena Mendelson which was finished exquisitely by Janine Chafee on the volley that beat Ashley Lentz low and to her right. The goal broke a scoreless streak of two games for the Panthers. But that goal lit a re under Aragon, who closed out the half by scoring three times twice when the Burlingame defense failed to clear the ball from the danger area only to have it fall to an Aragon player who took advantage of the mistake for a goal. First, Kat Drake scored on a header,then Ally Simms footed one home. The third goal came on a gorgeous shot by Rachel Killigrew some 20 yards out. It was a pretty goal, Colglazier said. Killigrew was involved in perhaps the turning point of the game. Twenty-ve minutes into the second half, a tackle in the box resulted in a red card for the defender and a penalty kick for Burlingame. Lentz stepped up huge for the Dons though, saving the shot and keeping the game at 3-1. The save took on added signicance given that Mendelson found the back of the net later in the match to make it 3-2. We just controlled the tempo, moved the ball very nicely, said Sequoia head coach Steve Picchi. We played our best game of the year and we had to if we were going to beat Hillsdale. The Knights Jenna Yee scored 17 points and MaryKathyrn Souther scored 10. Shes a great player, Picchi said, She got her points but we didnt let anyone else go wild on us. Sequoia pulled away at the end of the game after heading into the fourth quarter up by only three at 34-31. The Cherokees Bulou Matiatoga paced Sequoia with 12 points. She also had 11 rebounds in the win.

She worked extremely hard over the summer and it took a couple of games during the preseason to really understand how good of a player she really is. Simon stands out as a player with her quickness to the ball and speed down the court. Most of her hoops against SHP came on the break with Simon attacking the basket and drawing contact. In fact, it was a such a play against the Gators that led to the game-winning basket with so many players collapsing on her defensively, Jane Hafoka was free under the basket to put back Simons shot for the win. Shes one of the fastest players Ive ever coached, Dinges said. Ive never coached such a quick player and she worked hard over the summer to develop that nishing touch, work on her little 15-20 foot shot and its really helped her develop into an overall player and not just a 10-points here kind of player. According to Dinges, the key to Simons success has been her friendship and work with Grace Ujihara, who graduated last spring and left quite a void in the San Mateo offense. But Dinges said Simon learned a lot from watching Ujihara in that leadership role. The two have also taken the time to talk about Simons role on the team this year. Its really cool to see, Dinges said. Alana wants to ll those shoes, she wants to be that leader, she wants to be that player that everyone is gunning for. In the game against Menlo, Dinges said Simon might have been gunning for the Knights a bit, having played with many of

The win was the second straight for San Mateo this after defeating Capuchino 4-0 last Thursday. M-A provided ample pressure throughout the match, but they were unsuccessful in their attempts at goal. Zoe Pacalin, Meryssa Thompson and Kirst provided most of the offense for the Bears. But every wave of offense was met terricially by some solid San Mateo defending with Hayley Walker, Stephanie Lee and Aislinn Oka leading the charge. Interestingly enough, Coyle didnt play a part in the defending until late in the game when head coach Daire OConnor moved her from a forward position back to her more traditional role at center back. I like the defense because thats what I play, Coyle said. But I also feel comfortable up top because we have club players up there so I feel like we have this chemistry. So, its not hard to go either way. I feel comfortable at both. Coyle should be, especially if Karyn Jacobs continues to make saves like she did on Tuesday. On two occasions late, the San Mateo goalkeeper was the only person standing between an MA forward and a goal and twice Jacobs came up huge. I am so proud, Coyle said of her defense. The thing is, I feel so condent in them. I believe they can do it. I think every single one of them has as much talent as the other, they can rock it and they did.

San Mateos Alana Simon had games of 27 and 28 points in two wins last week.
Menlos players during the off-season. The extra determination was at the root of her 28point performance. I could see in her eyes that we were going to win, Dinges said. She was the last person to say, We got this guys. Right now, shes kind of feeling out her place as a leading scorer because this is the rst time shes been in this position. The VIkings did not come out and simply roll over for the Tigers. Mills contested every pass, every shot and every rebound, and for most of the game, out-executed the Tigers offensively. They have heart. They never give up, Moe said of Mills. They came in hard and kept ghting. Terra Nova, on the other hand, came out lackadaisical in the rst half and did not play with a lot of re or energy. Neither team shot particularly well in the opening 16 minutes as they combined to shoot just 11 for 44. Weve been off for a week, week-and-ahalf, Summerville said. [We] didnt look motivated enough.

Warm comfort of mac and cheese

By Alison Ladman
In this grown up version of macaroni and cheese we take a trip to Italy. Sort of. Inspired by the Italian sub popular in the Northeast, we sauteed up salami, garlic peppers, sun-dried tomatoes and onion. Our cheese sauce is creamy and sharp with a mixture of fontina and picante provolone. If you cant nd picante provolone, just use the sharpest provolone you can nd. And while we used orecchiette pasta, any shape will do. If you prefer your macaroni and cheese baked, spoon the nished recipe into a casserole dish and top with Parmesan cheese before placing under the broiler for a minute or two. Garlic peppers are a sort of pickled red pepper. If you cant nd them, substitute roasted red peppers and add a minced clove of garlic and a tablespoon of red wine vinegar.

Green chile lovers fired up over genetic research

By Susan Montoya Bryan
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Mention New Mexican cuisine and mouths start watering. Giant breakfast burritos, plates of enchiladas, tacos and even cheeseburgers all laced with green chile or drenched in red. New Mexicos chile peppers have woven their way into the states cultural identity, and their distinct avor has been adopted by palates as far away as Korea. But some are worried about the future of New Mexicos signature crop. Labor costs, relentless plant diseases and competition from cheap imports have combined to put the chile industry in a steep decline. Scientists at New Mexico State University are helping through a series of efforts aimed at unlocking the genetic mysteries of red and green chile, but that has some pepper purists red up. The thought of genetically engineering chile has galvanized a group of seed conservationists and others who are sympathetic to the national protests targeting corporate greed and economic inequality. Unlike the Occupy Wall Street movement, however, Occupy Green/Red Chile is on a simple, focused mission to protect New Mexicos chile seeds. Students, teachers, farmers, consumers, mothers and fathers, everyone cares about this because in New Mexico chile isnt just a food, its your culture, said Jessica Farrell, a University of New Mexico student who is participating in the movement. The group is concerned that if scientists develop a genetically engineered pepper to boost the industry, small growers could face patent lawsuits if their crops become crosscontaminated by the new seeds. Theyre also worried about a lack of labeling of genetically modied foods and the potential for New
Mexicos traditional varieties to be forever altered. To secure the long-term protection of the farmers and the protection of consumers in terms of culture, there is no room for a genetically engineered seed, Farrell said. This is where some farmers, chile processors and researchers disagree. Over the last 20 years, New Mexico has seen a 75 percent decline in the number of acres of chile grown. Production per acre has increased by more than 2 t o n s
over the last ve years due to breeding and improved growing practices, but the industry is a long way from returning to the glory days when tens of thousands of acres were grown. Jaye Hawkins, executive director of the New Mexico Chile Association, said the state will be in danger of losing its chile not because of genetic engineering but rather because farmers will simply not be able to grow the crop due to the mounting labor Rossi said. About 20 faculty members have already been relocated to other ofce space on campus, he said. Earthquake safety warnings are now posted on the entrances of the mansion. The mansion has demonstrated an ability to withstand a major earthquake. It is probably an excess of caution on our part. We are erring on the side of caution, Rossi said of the retrot. The university, with 1,900 students, has money in reserve to help pay for the retrot but it will also seek state, federal and foundation funding to restore the mansion, which served as a home, school for girls and sanitarium before it became the College of Notre Dame in 1922.
challenges and foreign competition. Were chipping away at the problems, and this is just one alternative, she said of the genetic research. Building the perfect pepper plant one capable of withstanding root-rotting and leafwilting diseases, one with more avor compounds, one that is taller with easily harvested fruit has been the focus of researchers at New Mexico State University for decades. Most of the work has been done using traditional plant breeding techniques, but some of the problems have been unsolvable through classic methods, said Paul Bosland, head of the universitys Chile Pepper Institute. While critics argue that genetically modied foods are unnatural, experts say the world would not have the varieties of chile, wheat, potatoes, corn, rice and other vegetables that it has today if it werent for the genetic modication that comes naturally from breeding plants with one another. Its been 10,000 years for some crops. They dont even remotely resemble their wild species anymore, said Pam Ronald, a plant pathologist from the University of California, Davis, who is known for her work with rice. Ronald and others say the difference with genetic engineering is its modern and more precise, and genes from unrelated species can be added to a plants genome. Its a ne line philosophically what people will accept, and there are reasons of course for not wanting a particular type of crop, she said. But if you think about the great issues of our time sustainability, can we grow more The 80-room mansion is 55,000 square feet on four oors and is the symbolic center of campus life at NDNU, Rossi said. Even though no classes are held here, it is the central icon of campus. The students are fond of it, he said. The university would have closed the mansion sooner but a few weddings are scheduled between now and the end of March for the mansion. We will lose revenue from these events. Thats why we want the mansion to get back online as fast as possible, Rossi said. The college was founded by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1851 in San Jose before it relocated to Belmont. When it rst became a college, Ralston Hall
food using less land and less water as resources diminish, can we reduce insecticides if genetic engineering can enhance the sustainability, then why not use it? The situation with chile in New Mexico is not unlike what happened to Hawaiis papaya in the 1990s. There, it took a publicly funded research effort to develop a papaya that was resistant to a disease that was wiping out orchard after orchard. The effort was a success, and today Hawaii continues to provide most of Californias papayas. In Arizona, genetically engineered cotton has resulted in less insecticide use, and corn growers in the Midwest have realized billions of dollars in economic benets from engineered corn seed, Ronald said. Steve Hanson, a scientist at NMSU, said the goal of the work being done in New Mexico is to increase the sustainability of chile and make the growing process more efcient.

Gerst Haus manager Cindy Reitz said the honored dish is pretty much just a pork tenderloin sandwich, but quickly noted its also her personal favorite. Though diners can choose a grilled version of the Schweinelet, its meant to be fried, Reitz said. This is the west side of Evansville, she said. Youve got to get it fried. The list also includes a hamburger named after a 1930s Purdue University football player the Duane Purvis. Its a quarter-pound ground sirloin cheeseburger served on a toasted sesame seed bun with a thick dollop of peanut butter.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

rassed President George H.W. Bush in 1992, when he won but was held to 53 percent of the vote against Pat Buchanan, running as an insurgent in difficult economic times. Buchanan, who never held public office, won the primary four years later over Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas, who was the nominee in the fall. In 2000, national front-runner George W. Bush rolled into the state after a convincing first-place finish in Iowa but wound up a distant second behind McCain. Bush later won the GOP nomination and then the presidency. Twelve Republican National Convention delegates were at stake on Tuesday, out of 1,144 needed to win the nomination. Obama was unopposed in the Democratic primary. In his first presidential run in 2008, Romney finished second in the state to McCain. This time, he campaigned with the Arizona senators endorsement, as well as backing from Sen. Kelly Ayotte and numerous other members of the states Republican establishment. Romney committed a pair of unforced errors in the campaigns final 48 hours, and the other contenders sought to capitalize. On Sunday, after a pair of weekend debates only 12 hours apart, the millionaire former businessman said he understood the fear of being laid off. There were a couple of times when I was worried I was going to get pinkslipped, he said, although neither he nor his aides offered specifics. And on Monday, in an appearance before the Nashua Chamber of Commerce, Romney was discussing health insurance coverage when he said, I like being able to fire people who provide services to me. If someone doesnt give me the good service I need, Im going to go get somebody else to provide that service to me. Huntsman, a former Utah governor, saw an opening. Gov. Romney enjoys firing people. I enjoy creating jobs, he said. And Gingrich said Bain Capital, the venture capital firm Romney once headed, apparently looted the companies, left people totally unemployed and walked off with millions of dollars. Romney has made his business experience a cornerstone of his presidential campaign, saying that Bain on balance created 100,000 jobs, and as a result, he understands how to help boost employment. He sought to shrug off the attacks, saying he had expected them from Obama in the fall, but Gingrich and others had decided to go first. Things can always be taken out of context, he said. Strechay said in a statement Monday. The company anticipates that this matter can be resolved to EPAs full satisfaction. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also has raised concerns about the facility in recent weeks In a letter sent to the companys president last month, federal wildlife managers questioned whether Sims automobile shredder residue was drifting into nearby wetlands and could be harming local endangered species, such as the salt marsh harvest mouse. That uff material does have heavy metals in it, and those can get into food chains and cause reproductive problems, said Mendel Stewart, who manages the agencys San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex. All we want is for somebody to tell us that whatever is out there isnt causing a problem for wildlife, and that theyre going to stop doing it. Strechay said the company, which is headquartered in Australia, was working with the agency to address any issues or concerns.

ROMNEY
reserve time for television advertising there. Even so, the order of finish Ron Paul second, followed by Jon Huntsman, with Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum trailing scrambled the field and prolonged the increasingly desperate competition to emerge as the true conservative rival to Romney. With his victory, Romney became the first Republican to sweep the first two contests in competitive races since 1976. Based on partial returns, The Associated Press estimated that turnout would exceed the 2008 record by about 4 percent. Romney fashioned his victory despite a sustained assault by rivals eager to undermine his claim as the contender best situated to beat Obama and help reduce the nations painfully high unemployment. Gingrich led the way, suggesting at one point that Romney, a venture capitalist, was a corporate raider. The front-runners defenders said the rhetoric was more suitable to a Democratic opponent than a conservative Republican. Returns from 69 percent of New Hampshire precincts showed Romney with 38 percent of the vote, followed by Texas Rep Paul with 24 percent, former Utah Gov. Huntsman with 17 percent and former House Speaker Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Sen. Santorum with 10 percent each. In interviews as they left their polling places, New Hampshire voters said the economy was the issue that mattered most to them, and a candidates ability to defeat Obama outranked other qualities. Romney had won in Iowa by a scant eight votes over Santorum, and gained barely a quarter of the vote there. On Tuesday, he battled not only his rivals but also high expectations as the ballots were counted, particularly since his pursuers had virtually conceded New Hampshire, next-door to the state Romney governed for four years. Seeking to undercut Romneys victory, Gingrich and others suggested in advance that anything below 40 percent or so would indicate weakness by the nomination front-runner. They didnt mention that Sen. John McCains winning percentage in the 2008 primary was 37 percent. Romneys win was worth seven delegates to the Republican National Convention next summer. Paul earned three delegates and Huntsman two. Tonight we celebrate, Romney told his supporters. Tomorrow we go back to work. Unlike Iowa and New Hampshire, where unemployment is well below the
national average, joblessness is far higher in South Carolina. That creates a different political environment for the race. The state also has a reputation for primaries turning nasty, and it appeared that all of Romneys pursuers read the new Hampshire returns as reason enough to remain in the race. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who skipped New Hampshire to get a head start in South Carolina, said Tuesdays results showed the race for a conservative alternative to Mitt Romney remains wide open. Were nibbling at his heels, Paul said of Romney. Huntsman had staked his candidacy on a strong showing in New Hampshire, and he announced after the polls closed that he had passed his own test. Where we stand is a solid position and we go south from here, he said. Despite struggling to gain 10 percent in New Hampshire, Gingrich and Santorum also said they were in. About one-third of Republican voters interviewed as they left their polling places said the most important factor in choosing a candidate was finding someone who could defeat Obama in the fall. Romney won their support overwhelmingly. He ran about even with Huntsman among the one-quarter of the voters who cited experience as the most important factor in selecting a candidate to support. Paul ran first among voters who cited moral character or true conservatism. As was the case last week in Iowa, the economy was the issue that mattered most to voters, 61 percent of those surveyed. Another 24 percent cited record federal deficits. Romney carried the first group and split the second with Paul. The survey results came from interviews conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks with 2,670 voters across the state. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. New Hampshire has a rich history of humbling favorites, front-runners and even an occasional incumbent. The states Republican voters embarThe EPA has given the metal shredder until Monday to submit a plan outlining how they will change their operations to prevent further discharges, and Blumenfeld said the company could face penalties in the future. EPA investigators rst started probing the facility last March, when they determined pollutants scattered on the ground were being swept into Redwood creek, and into the Bay. In August 2011, EPA investigators took samples of debris and soils in the areas where the facility loads up ships with shredded material, and tests revealed high levels of PCBs, mercury and lead. Inspectors also found shredding residue, scrap metal and other industrial debris in areas where they could come into contact with Bay waters. Sims spokesman Daniel Strechay said the facility was working with EPA to modify its pollution prevention plans, and to keep storm water from coming into contact with recycled metal that is loaded onto ships. Sims is committed to protection and promotion of a healthy environment,
BAY
Bay. The agency made the announcement after issuing an enforcement order that lists six ways the company violated the Clean Water Act, including discharging the contaminants into waters where ships typically pick up shredded cars and other recycled metals to haul across the ocean. All of the things we found are toxic, and they should not be going into the Bay, said Jared Blumenfeld, the EPAs Regional Administrator for the Pacic Southwest. Once we nd something illegal of this nature, we need to make sure the facility takes immediate steps to eliminate those discharges into the San Francisco Bay. A spokesman for Sims Metal Management, which claims to be the worlds largest metal and electronics recycler, said the company was cooperating fully with authorities.

Note that this construction project will be covered by a wrap insurance policy. A Contractor Controlled Insurance Program (hereinafter CCIP) is a centralized insurance program where the General Contractor purchases insurance on behalf of all the construction participants, regardless of tier, for all the labor performed on-site at the project. This contrasts with the typical approach whereby each party is responsible for purchasing its own insurance. Enrollment in the CCIP program will be mandatory for all eligible subcontractors providing labor at this jobsite. We have provided a Field Procedures and Insurance Manual on our website at [http://tpchousing.com/companies/pwb/bids.shtml] explaining the details of this program. Submit your bid as a gross bid with your own insurance coverage included. If selected, you will be asked to complete an Insurance Deduct Worksheet in order to calculate a CCIP credit. The CCIP credit will be a deduct to the total contract cost for the CCIP provided coverage. The Insurance Deduct Worksheet will assist in calculating the total cost of your Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability and Excess/Umbrella coverage incorporated into your bid pricing. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the plans, bid procedures or insurance requirements for bidding this Project. Pacific West Builders, Inc. reserves the right to reject any and all bids.
