San Mateo resident Christine Salah didnt know much about football until the beginning of this season when she took her two sons to watch the 49ers battle the Seattle Seahawks at Candlestick Park. Her sons, Matthew, 13, and Noah, 11, however, are big football fans and were eager to join their mother watch the 49ers open the season against a division
rival Sept. 11. The Niners won the game 33-17 on its way to an improbable 13-3 record, division title and home playoff game this Saturday against the New Orleans Saints. The Salahs will be rooting for the Niners this weekend and will have their eyes set on No. 99, rookie linebacker Aldon Smith out of the University of Missouri. Smith made his NFL debut against the Seahawks, although he did not start the game, and recorded just a single stat that
game as he deflected a pass from Seahawk quarterback Tavaris Jackson. It was a slow start for the rookie as he did not record his rst sack until the fourth week of the season when he brought down elusive Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. Smith would nish the season strong, however, recording a total of 14 sacks, a Niner rookie record, with two forced fumbles and 31 total tackles.

This Day in History
1912
Textile workers at the Everett Mill in Lawrence, Mass., (most of them immigrant women) walked off the job to protest wage cuts. The Bread and Roses Strike spread to other mills in Lawrence and lasted until the following March.
In 1519, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I died. In 1773, the rst public museum in America was organized in Charleston, S.C. In 1828, the United States and Mexico signed a Treaty of Limits dening the boundary between the two countries to be the same as the one established by an 1819 treaty between the U.S. and Spain. In 1915, the House of Representatives rejected, 204-174, a constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote. In 1932, Hattie W. Caraway became the rst woman elected to the U.S. Senate, after serving out the remainder of the term of her late husband, Thaddeus.

Police: Handcuffed man took cruiser, asked for key
INDIANAPOLIS A handcuffed drug suspect who stole and wrecked a police cruiser in northwest Indiana is still on the loose, but he did not take any loaded weapons from the car, authorities said Wednesday. William Francis Blankenship stole the car Tuesday from a local ofcer in the Porter County town of Kouts and then used the police radio to ask where to nd the cars cigarette lighter and a key to unlock himself, police said. There was a conversation between him and one of our ofcers, Porter County Sheriffs Sgt. Larry LaFlower said. The sheriffs deputy did not tell Blankenship how to remove the handcuffs or use the cigarette lighter, and instead tried to talk Blankenship into pulling over and giving himself up, LaFlower said. Police found the town cruiser Wednesday morning wrecked and submerged in water in a drainage ditch in nearby LaPorte County, but Blankenship, 22, was no longer with the vehicle, LaFlower said. Police say no other vehicles were involved and they are investigating how the cruiser got there. LaFlower said loaded weapons a handgun, shotgun and a rifle that had been left in the vehicle were still there when the wreck was discovered. Police had reported earlier that Blankenship should be considered armed and dangerous. The sole police ofcer on duty Tuesday evening in Kouts arrested Blankenship on drug charges. The ofcer pulled Blankenship over in a convenience store parking lot in the town about 50 miles southeast of Chicago, and then placed the handcuffed suspect in the back of the patrol car while he went to search the mans car, LaFlower said. He was doing an inventory search when his car was taken, LaFlower said. Authorities are trying to determine how Blankenship got out of the back seat of the patrol car. Its not clear if he had been locked inside the car. The ofcer did leave the car keys in the ignition, LaFlower said. LaFlower said he doesnt know exactly when the ofcer knew Blankenship was eeing, but said the ofcer used his portable radio immediately to let the Porter County Sheriffs Department know what happened and asked for assistance. The ofcer, who wasnt injured, had his service revolver with him. LaFlower didnt explain the nature of the drug allegations. Thats still under investigation, he said. Kouts Town Marshal David Freeland declined comment and referred questions to the sheriffs department. The search for Blankenship has focused on the town of Knox, about 20 miles east of Kouts, where he has family and friends. The Porter County prosecutors ofce obtained an arrest warrant Wednesday charging Blankenship with car theft, Chief Deputy Matt Frost said. LaFlower said the sheriffs department planned to seek help in the search from the U.S. Marshal Service.
Homicide drops off U.S. list of top causes of death

ATLANTA For the rst time in almost half a century, homicide has fallen off the list of the nations top 15 causes of death, bumped by a lung illness that often develops in elderly people who have choked on their food. The 2010 list, released by the government Wednesday, reects at least two major trends: Murders are down, and deaths from certain diseases are on the rise as the population ages, health authorities said. Homicide was overtaken at No. 15 by pneumonitis, seen mainly in people 75 and older. It happens when food or vomit goes down the windpipe and causes deadly damage to the lungs. This is the rst time since 1965 that homicide failed to make the list, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The government has been keeping a list of the top causes of death since 1949. Homicide has historically ranked fairly low. It was as high as 10th in 1989 and in 1991 through 1993, when the nation saw a surge in youth homicides related to the crack epidemic.

Sentencing of a South San Francisco teen who previously pleaded no contest to misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter and felony drunk driving for the February multi-car crash that left his 17-year-old passenger dead was postponed Wednesday. Sean Danniel Quintero, 18, also previously admitted causing great bodily injury and, in return for the plea, was promised four years and four months in prison by the court when sentenced. The District Attorneys Ofce pushed for ve years in prison. Sentencing was postponed until Friday, Feb. 3 two days before the anniversary of the crash at the request of the District Attorneys Ofce since the attorney assigned to the case was in another trial, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti. Without the no contest plea, Quintero faced up to 11 years in prison if convicted by a jury of causing the death of Margaret Qaqish. Qaqish was a high school senior who would have turned 18 the following week. On Feb. 5, 2011, Qaqish was in a car belonging to Quinteros mother, 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. 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. He remains in custody in lieu of $325,000 bail. Earlier this week, two adults were arrested and charged with furnishing alcohol to Quintero which lead to the accident. On Jan. 10, 2012, Department of Alcohol Beverage Control investigators arrested 45year-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 Qaqish 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. 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.

Marines probe video of PG&E: Candlestick ready for 49ers game urination on corpses
By Robert Burns
WASHINGTON The Marine Corps said Wednesday it is investigating a video depicting what appears to be four Marines urinating on the corpses of Taliban fighters. In a statement, the Marine Corps said it has not verified the origin or authenticity of the YouTube video. But it also said the actions portrayed are not consistent with Marine values. If verified the video could create a strong backlash in the Muslim world and beyond for the disrespectful actions it portrays. The case is being referred to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the Navys worldwide law enforcement organization, said NCIS spokesman Ed Buice. The Council on IslamicAmerican Relations, a prominent Muslim civil rights and advocacy group based in Washington, quickly condemned the video. We condemn this apparent desecration of the dead as a violation of our nations military regulations and of international laws of war prohibiting such disgusting and immoral actions, the group wrote in a letter faxed to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. If verified as authentic, the video shows behavior that is totally unbecoming of American military personnel and that could ultimately endanger other soldiers and

civilians, the letter said. Marine Corps headquarters at the Pentagon said, The actions portrayed are not consistent with our core values and are not indicative of the character of the Marines in our Corps. This matter will be fully investigated. A Marine Corps spokesman, Lt. Col. Stewart Upton, added, Allegations of Marines not doing the right thing in regard to dead Taliban insurgents are very serious and, if proven, represent a failure to adhere to the high standards expected of American military personnel. A Pentagon spokesman, Navy Capt. John Kirby, said the video is deeply troubling. Whoever it is, and whatever the circumstances which we know is under investigation it is egregious behavior, Kirby said. It is unclear who shot the video and who posted it online.
Candlestick Park is ready to go for Saturdays San Francisco 49ers playoff game following embarrassing power outages during a nationally televised game last month, city and PG&E officials said Wednesday. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee released a statement this afternoon saying that the city and utility have completed the last of several improvements and tests to ensure there is not another outage. On Dec. 19, the stadium went dark twice, delaying a Monday Night Football game between the 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers in what Lee called a national embarrassment. PG&E admitted fault for the rst outage, which occurred shortly before game time and was caused when a splice, which connects two overhead wires, failed and the power line fell to the ground on Ingerson Avenue near the stadium. The city admitted fault for the second outage, which happened during the second quarter of the game and was caused by a malfunctioning switch on the backup power inside the stadium, according to a letter Lee wrote to 49ers president Jed York. The team, which nished the regular season 13-3 and earned a bye in last weekends rst round of the playoffs, is hosting their rst playoff game Saturday when the New Orleans Saints come to town. Lee said in his statement yesterday that the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, Fire Department, Recreation and Park Department and PG&E conducted

three comprehensive power tests of the electrical systems that serve the stadium. The tests mimicked the events of the Dec. 19 outages and resulted in successful transfers of the power load to alternate sources to maintain continuous service, according to the city. PG&E has also inspected all of its equipment serving the stadium, including stringing new electric wire from Candlestick Park to a utility substation on the border of San Francisco and Daly City. Im condent that the city and PG&E have taken every possible step to ensure reliable power for the playoff game this weekend, Lee said. I think the only lights out at Candlestick on Saturday will be our 49ers shutting down the New Orleans Saints! San Francisco police Chief Greg Suhr said Tuesday that ofcers will also make sure that the power lines are not only sound, but also secure from anyone that might want to do some practical joke. Of course, even if the lights went out on Saturday, the game could still go on it is scheduled to start during the daytime at 1:35 p.m. Suhr said the Police Department will have additional ofcers at the stadium during the game as well, hopefully for the celebration afterward.

from the underground garage into the Capitol. There is nothing to prevent lawmakers and others who use unsecured entry ways from bringing a weapon inside the Tim Donnelly building, but no changes are planned, according to sergeants-at-arms in the Assembly and Senate, and the California Highway Patrol. However, Alicia Trost, a spokeswoman for Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said the Senate leader would discuss Capitol security with the Rules Committee, other senators, and the Senate sergeants to see if there is a need to revisit the Legislatures current security policies. Lawmakers are supposed to get permission from the Assembly and Senate sergeants-at-arms if they want to bring in a weapon, but sergeants take them at their word. Moreover, employees who work in the building have electronic pass cards that let them enter after hours without going through a security screening. Donnelly said he had no intention of bringing his loaded handgun with him to work. He was cited for a misdemeanor after Transportation Security Administration screeners spotted the gun at Ontario International Airport, east of Los Angeles, as he was headed to the Capitol for the rst day of this years legislative session.

District Attorney George Gascon said Wednesday that hopefully a decision in the case could be reached as early as Friday. According to a police afdavit, a neighbor reported that Mirkarimi grabbed and bruised wife Eliana Lopezs right arm during a heated argument at their home on New Years Eve. Mirkarimi has denied the allegations. Lopez, a former Venezuelan telenovela star, has said she has no complaint against her husband and that the incident was taken out of context. The couple appeared together Sunday at Mirkarimis swearing-in ceremony as sheriff.

Case of 84 classmate killing moved to adult court

SAN LEANDRO A 44-year-old man who landed in juvenile court after being charged in a decades-old murder has been transferred to adult court because of the severity of the crime. Steven Carlson was arrested last August after DNA evidence linked him to the 1984 killing of 14-year-old Tina Faelz. Faelz was found fatally stabbed in Pleasanton, along a shortcut that students frequently used to get to and from Foothill High School. Carlson was a classmate of Faelz. Carlson initially was charged in juvenile court because he was 16 at the time. But an Alameda County judge ruled Tuesday to charge him as an adult. Other reasons cited for the transfer include previous failed attempts at rehabilitation and the impossibility of rehabilitation before he turned 21. The judge has imposed a gag order in the case.

The central California shery ofcially opened on Nov. 15, but the season was delayed by a couple weeks because sh-
ermen and buyers couldnt agree on price. The central California shery hasnt been as productive as last year when crabbers hauled a whopping 19 million pounds. State biologists are not anticipating an especially strong harvest for the northern shery.

Court: Judges cannot get involved in church dispute

Obama:Reward businesses that invest in U.S.

WASHINGTON Flanked by business executives, President Barack Obama urged employers Wednesday to create jobs in the U.S. rather than ship them overseas and offered to propose tax incentives to help them. Im incredibly optimistic about our prospects, Obama said about the economy after meeting with more than a dozen corporate and small business leaders whose rms have succeeded, to one degree or another, in bringing jobs back to the United States. A day after his Republican adversaries competed in the New Hampshire primary, Obama sought to grab back the spotlight and underscore his focus on the economy by convening a high-prole White House forum on how to increase employment and stem the hundreds of thousands of jobs that have been sent overseas. Obama did not mention any of his potential Republican challengers during his public remarks. But two participants in the forum, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and United Steelworkers President Leo Gerard, compared Obama favorably to Mitt Romney, who on Tuesday won the New Hampshire Republican primary and solidied his lead over the GOP presidential eld. Gerard said his union represented workers in companies that had been acquired by Romneys former rm, Bain Capital, and that eventually shut down. From our point of view, this president from day one has tried to create jobs not cut jobs, he said. As a result, the day had all the feel of a presidential counterpunch to the Republican candidates, and particularly to Romney, who has sought to portray Obama as a foe of free enterprise. Obama highlighted big and small rms ranging from Ford to a North Carolina specialty furniture company as examples of enterprises that have invested in the U.S. rather than abroad. He called on other companies to do the same with the help of government incentives. The White House says the president will propose $12 million in his 2013 budget to promote business investment from overseas in the United States.
WASHINGTON In a groundbreaking case, the Supreme Court on Wednesday held for the rst time that religious employees of a church cannot sue for employment discrimination. But the courts unanimous decision in a case from Michigan did not specify the distinction between a secular employee, who can take advantage of the governments protection from discrimination and retaliation, and a religious employee, who cant. It was, nevertheless, the rst time the high court has acknowledged the existence of a ministerial exception to anti-discrimination laws a doctrine developed in lower court rulings. This doctrine says the First Amendments guarantee of freedom of religion shields churches and their operations from the reach of such protective laws when the issue involves employees of these institutions. The case came before the court because the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued the HosannaTabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School of Redford, Mich., on behalf of employee Cheryl Perich, over her ring, which happened after she complained of discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Two arrested for shooting pellet guns at paragliders

On Tuesday, the San Bruno City Council voted to enter into a cost recovery agreement with Artichoke Joes Casino. Under the agreement, a dedicated police ofcer will patrol the casino with the business picking up the $156,425 annual tab. The call for increased security came after last March, when Artichoke Joes was one of two Bay Area casinos raided by federal authorities as part of a large-scale investigation into organized crime in which 14 people were arrested. The club reopened shortly after with a number of conditions by the California Gambling Control Commission including increased security. A current ofcer will be assigned to the post and the city will spend an estimated $19,000 to hire, train and cover equipment for hiring a new ofcer. At the same meeting, San Bruno will discussed the recent Supreme Court decision allowing California to end redevelopment agencies. San Bruno has had its Redevelopment Agency since 1999. As a result, the council named the city as the successor organization allowing it to oversee property and housing assets secured previously by the Redevelopment Agency.
Two men suspected of shooting pellet guns at paragliders in Daly City over the weekend pleaded not guilty to assault charges on Monday, San Mateo Countys district attorney said Wednesday. Edward Amatori, 49, of San Francisco, and Alex Attard, 38, of Daly City, were taken into custody on Saturday after a SWAT team responded to reports of shots red at Mussel Rock Park, a popular launching point for
paragliders, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said. Three paragliders had been preparing to take off from the coastal bluffs when they heard four shots red over their heads, Wagstaffe said. They saw one of the shots strike the ground nearby, he said. The victims called Daly City police, and one of the responding ofcers spotted two men carrying what appeared to be ries on a trail below the bluffs, Wagstaffe said. A SWAT team was called in while the men were observed shooting their ries
dozens of times at undetermined targets, Wagstaffe said. No one was struck or injured, and the men were taken into custody without incident. The ries were determined to be .22-caliber pellet guns, according to the district attorneys ofce. Wagstaffe said Amatori was convicted of misdemeanor assault with a pellet gun earlier this year. Both men were charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon and remain in custody on $25,000 bail. They are scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Jan 23. lives.

EPA: Power plants main global warming culprits

By Dina Cappiello
WASHINGTON The most detailed data yet on emissions of heat-trapping gases show that U.S. power plants are responsible for the bulk of the pollution blamed for global warming. Power plants released 72 percent of the greenhouse gases reported to the Environmental Protection Agency for 2010, according to information released Wednesday that was the rst catalog of global warming pollution by facility. The data include more than 6,700 of the largest industrial sources of greenhouse gases, or about 80 percent of total U.S. emissions. According to an Associated Press analysis of the data, 20 mostly coalred power plants in 15 states account for the top-releasing facilities.
Gina McCarthy, the top air ofcial at the EPA, said the database marked a major milestone in the agencys work to address climate change. She said it would help industry, states and the federal government identify ways to reduce greenhouse gases. The Obama administration plans to regulate emissions of heat-trapping gases under existing law. A proposed regulation to address pollution from new power plants could be released as early as this month. Eventually, the EPA will have to tackle facilities already in operation. The largest emitters will be the rst in line. The largest greenhouse gas polluter in the nation in 2010, according to the EPAs data, was the Scherer power plant in Juliette, Ga., owned by Southern Company. That coalred power plant reported releasing nearly 23 million metric tons of car-
bon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas, in 2010. Two other power plants owned by Southern were the second- and third-largest polluters nationally: the Bowen plant in Cartersville, Ga., and the James H. Miller Jr. power plant in Quinton, Ala. The plants are some of the largest coal-red power plants in the country. American Electric Power, another large coal-red power producer, has three power plants in the top 20. They are in Rockport, Ind., Cheshire, Ohio, and St. Albans, W. Va. This is just another way to identify the largest coal-fired power plants in the country, said AEP spokesman Pat Hemlepp. We always assumed we would be No. 1 in greenhouse gas emissions or No. 2 behind Southern Co. AEP and Southern are the two largest consumers of coal.

Romney rolls into South Carolina GOP nomination in sight?

Obituary
But after a solid win in New Hampshire, Romney got help from unlikely sources. Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who ran second in New Hampshire, chastised Gingrich and Perry for criticizing the front-runners experience as a venture capitalist whose firm acquired, slimmed down and then spun off existing companies, often earning large profits in the process. I just wonder whether theyre totally ignorant of economics or whether theyre willing to demagogue just with the hopes of getting a vote or two, he said, without mentioning anyone by name.
Mary Anne Inman (Mullany) age 77

Our Mom/Nana passed away at Sequoia Hospital peacefully after a brief illness on December 28, 2011. A 47 year resident of Belmont California, Mary was born on August 6, 1934 to John L. and Hazel Mullany. She was extremely proud to be a Mullany and of her Irish heritage. The second of eight children, Mary was a 4th generation San Franciscan who later moved to San Mateo where she graduated from Mercy High School, Burlingame in 1952. Her rst job was in banking followed by 30 years in the cashiers ofce at Macys, Hillsdale. She continued working after her retirement as an election ofcial for The County of San Mateo where she eagerly anticipated participating in this years election process. She was a dedicated employee and cherished both her work and her co-workers. Mary enjoyed her family immensely. She was a devoted and unwavering mother who made many of her childrens clothes and some amazing Halloween costumes. Any occasion was appropriate for baking cookies or other delectable treats. She also found time to become a Girl Scout leader in 1970. She spent her leisure time doing needle work, going to movies, reading, cooking and taking the occasional nature walk with her ve year old granddaughter. Her home was always open to family and friends. Mary is survived by her children Lezlee (George) Miller of Half Moon Bay, J.

Rift growing between school district and city

A once symbiotic relationship between the city of Burlingame and its school district born of nancial strife after Proposition 13 was showing strain the week of Jan. 13, 2007 with school ofcials complaining they werent getting enough money and input in the citys free use of the districts elds, gyms and classrooms. Marc Friedman, then-trustee of the Burlingame Elementary School District Board, was frustrated with the districts lack of input on facility use and money. The city takes the position that we should just give it to them. They take fees and hire referees and coaches. We need to cover our expenses. But they dont worry about us, he said. The dispute was rooted in the 1970s when voters passed Proposition 13 to freeze property taxes. The city and the school district had worked closely to ensure the same level of programs. For the city, this relationship meant no cost to use school facilities for city activities. For the school district, programs like after-school sports, enrichment classes and lunch-time activities were offered at no cost. Some school district ofcials, however, wanted the setup to be re-evaluated

City considers corporate naming policy for parks

Increasing demands on parks and recreation was forcing the city of San Carlos the week of Jan. 13, 2007 to consider allowing anyone with a hefty wallet to name everything from a park bench or a tree to a building or the whole park. A newly formed nonprot park foundation was to attempt to collect donations the same way universities and hospitals have for decades by soliciting money from wealthy donors. The naming policy was one of many steps the city was taking to increase park funding.
Woman battles city over painted house

Estrella Benavides began painting messages on the roof and garage door of her home on Cottage Grove Avenue more than a year prior. The rows of painted words large and small provoked some residents to complain to the city. The Community Improvement Commission was set to decide later in the month whether to impose a ne that could range from $25 to $100 a day.

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.

The South San Francisco Cultural Arts Commission recently announced its newest public art installation, located on Centennial Way near Spruce Avenue. The elegant sculpture titled EvoHelix, is the creation of Northern California sculptor, Roger White Stoller. Commemorating the citys 2008 centennial celebration, and funded by donations, the sculpture was selected through a local and nationwide search. Projecting up from its 2foot base, the 8-foot tall, hand nished, stainless steel sculpture references the DNA helix in its spiral-shaped conguration. The wing-like metal-lace cut pattern crowning the top serves as a metaphor for independence and aspiration.
The sculptor described the piece as, rising out of the ground, the ascending form of the steel, thick and solid, becoming light and open above, conceived the form as mirroring the evolution of South San Francisco from its early 20th century industrial beginnings to its distinct position as the Birthplace of Biotechnology. The statue will be dedicated 10 a.m. Jan. 21. *** Burlingame-based attorney Joe Cotchett is working on another high prole case.

Californias numbers game

Santa Cruz Sentinel
ops. Maybe the governor cant tax his way to fiscal solvency for the state. A week after Gov. Jerry Brown was forced into releasing an early version of a 2012-13 budget dependent on a tax hike hes going to ask voters to approve this November, the numbers have come up short. The states nonpartisan legislative analyst says that Browns tax hike would raise $2.1 billion less than the governor said he would get, in order to balance his budget. And what this means is spending will have to be cut more if the governor is going to depend on additional revenues from these taxes even if voters were persuaded to go along with taxing themselves. Brown had hoped to come up with nearly $7 billion through these tax increases to make his 2012-13 budget work. But fiscal analyst Mac Taylor says the plan would raise only $4.8 billion for that budget year. Whats more, the analyst says the tax revenue would be about evenly split between a half-cent sales tax the governor wants voters to approve and
Other voices
higher income taxes on wealthier Californians. Browns finance department had said most of the projected revenues would come from the income tax hikes which ostensibly would make the entire tax proposal an easier sell to voters who might not mind soaking the rich. To make matters worse, the state controller 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 said revenue last month came in $165 million below what Brown projected last week when he released his budget proposal. If the analysts lower figure holds and since he has no particular political ax to grind his numbers are probably realistic then the governors warning that hell have to cut more money from schools and public colleges and universities might be in play sooner than later. Browns new budget estimated the
state faces a $9.2 billion shortfall on a $92.5 billion budget next fiscal year. He wants legislators to make cuts to welfare, health care for the poor and other social programs before voters are asked to approve his tax hikes, which now look like theyll have to be even bigger. And another question is whether the governor can sell voters on raising taxes when his plan probably wont save schools and colleges from the kind of drastic fate the taxes supposedly would prevent. Plus, the governor still needs to come up with a solid and transparent pension reform plan for state workers, not to mention reworking Californias archaic and volatile income tax codes. We also believe voters will want to see the state doing something about the regulatory burdens it places on business which if effectively implemented could begin to raise revenues through growth, rather than depending only on taxation. Do these things, and come up with realistic projections for revenues and the tax hikes, and voters might be persuaded to go along with the governor.
Time to resolve!
t is up to us to look well to the ways of our households, that our loved ones might enjoy good health and achieve their greatest potential. Jan Kinderlehler. There is much in the news about the childhood obesity epidemic in the United States. Along with the increase in adult avoirdupois, the percentage of overweight and obese children keeps going up year after year. This is a great tragedy since it predicts much ill health for the children, especially as they grow older. The main hope for improvement in these appalling statistics is for people who are in charge of childrens welfare to resolve to feed children nutritious foods and eliminate the anti-nutritious products from their own and their childrens diets that cause weight gain and ill health. No better time than now a 2012 New Year Resolution! We, in our culture, have been taking parental responsibility much too lightly for some time now. Leading hectic and stressful lives, too many parents have come to rely on the kinds of foods best avoided and neglect monitoring childrens eating habits. And parents who try to see that their children eat nutritiously have to fight an uphill battle against a culture not concerned about whats best for its young and a government more interested in the welfare of corporate interests than in the welfare of our children. Its too easy to buy a Happy Meal or bring home a pizza, or give money to the kids to use for snacks and even meals, and to give in and buy the Cocoa Puffs in spite of knowing better. Its also too easy to go for the over-processed and ready-prepared products than to prepare meals from fresh and natural foods. And most deplorable are parents who indulge in sweet, fatty and salty junk food and pass the habit along to their children. But even parents with the best intentions lose some control over what their children eat once the kids are old enough to buy some of their own food. By the time the kids become teens, their eating habits can be a disaster making it even more important that they eat healthfully at home. Its a national tragedy we dont value our kids enough to make eating well a top priority, to encourage parents to find enough time to carefully monitor their childrens eating habits and purchase and prepare food accordingly, end television advertising for junk food, ban soft drinks from all schools and improve menus in school cafeterias. Our food culture is so out of whack that it takes great determination for parents to see that their children eat healthfully. Basically, it still boils down to choices as does so much in life. We dont have to have those Oreos or that Capn Crunch and Pepsi in the house. We can choose to supply the larder with more fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains and healthier snacks. We can educate ourselves about nutrition and we can read ingredient labels. And we can enthusiastically support any legislation that may result in healthier foods for us all. In our sincere desire to do what is best for our children (and ourselves), we can drive right by such establishments as McDonalds and Taco Bell. We can convince ourselves that its more important to prepare a simple, healthy meal for the family than to pick up whatever looks good at a take-out. We can learn to prepare some quick, easy and nutritious dishes and recruit the family to become involved. We can make up our grocery list with health in mind. Remember what Michael Pollan wrote in Food Rules: If it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, dont. Is there any better New Years resolution than to embark on a crusade to make sure the foods our children eat do not contribute to the possibility of their bones eventually becoming porous, their blood vessels becoming clogged, their blood sugar rising off the charts, their immune system being impaired and their weight soaring? Isnt it a form of child abuse when children are left to themselves to choose what they eat while the food industry relentlessly promotes its most noxious products? We must do better than that. It all boils down to how much we value health and well-being for all of us. The future depends upon it. Ones philosophy is not best expressed in words, it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. And the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility. Eleanor Roosevelt.

Letters to the editor

More Kent Lauder please
Editor, Kent Lauders guest perspective is simply the best thing that has ever appeared in this papers opinion and letters section (The other sides in the Jan. 7-8 edition of the Daily Journal). What a relief from the tiresome endless ideological rants of Keith The Old Commie Kreitman versus Jack Survival of the Fittest Hickey. Please Kent, more! have to say this. The Occupy Movement is not about redistribution of wealth. I want to ask Mr. Lauder and others: Since when is seeking justice and enforcement of our laws considered the redistribution of wealth? Since when is demanding the top 1 percent of wealthiest people and the large greedy corporations pay their fair share of taxes considered the redistribution of wealth? Since when is stopping the foreclosures of millions of homes due to illegal home loans considered the redistribution of wealth? Since when is arresting the persons responsible for the illegal speculation and gambling of other peoples money on Wall Street considered the redistribution of wealth? Since when is demanding the stoppage of political corruption by lobbyists hired by the wealthiest people and the large greedy corporations considered the redistribution of wealth? Finally, since when is exercising our First Amendment rights considered the redistribution of wealth?
California budget
Editor, So here we go again, party mongering and California politics at its worst and it is getting the front page news of course. Taxes up or school cuts. May I suggest I spend one week in Sacramento and I will have made subtle changes in that approach. I promise I can find non-essential services and programs that can be done away with immediately without affecting most of the legal residents here. Lets go down to essential services only, no new programs, no automatic increases, no pay raises anywhere in the public sector, absolutely no hiring in the public sector. Oh, and I would cancel that money pit high-speed rail project too and stop any money already allocated. These guys are still not getting it. Perhaps I can help and I will do it for expenses only, no pension, no benefits. It wont take long!

New worries sink Dow

By Matthew Craft
Dow 12,449.45 -0.10% 10-Yr Bond 1.904 -3.45% Nasdaq 2,710.76 +0.31% Oil (per barrel) 101.040001 S&P 500 1,292.48 +0.03% Gold 1,643.20
Wall Street
Prots at S&P 500 companies are expected to rise 7.2 percent for the last three months of 2011, according to Standard & Poors Capital IQ. Thats much lower than the 17.6 percent growth reported in the third quarter. Judging by the S&P 500 index, investors seem to think earnings could fall much further, Kleintop said. The index is trading at about 13 times the past years earnings of its companies close to what it was at the end of 1990, when the economy was in recession. Earnings fell 20 percent during that downturn. The S&P 500 gained 0.4 of a point on Wednesday to 1,292.48. The Nasdaq composite index rose 8.26, or 0.3 percent, to 2,710.76. The Nasdaq has gained 4 percent this year, the most of the major indexes. The Dow is up 1.9 percent, the S&P 2.8 percent. Supervalu, a grocery store operator, plunged after reporting a wider-thanexpected quarterly loss because of high food prices and costs related to a turnaround plan. Its stock lost 12 percent. Orange juice prices settled lower Wednesday. They hit their highest levels since 2007 on Tuesday when the U.S. government said that a potentially harmful fungicide had been found in Brazilian imports.

SuperValu Inc.,down $1.05 at $7.34 The grocery store operator said that its scal third-quarter net loss widened due to costs related to its restructuring plan.

Universal American Corp.,down $2.61 at $10.93 The health insurer said it will buy health care software and services company APS Healthcare in a deal worth up to $277.5 million. Deckers Outdoor Corp.,up $3.51 at $88.47 A Jefferies analyst said the UGG boots maker could report solid fourth-quarter earnings and said the mild winter weather is not hurting sales. Synnex Corp.,up $2.68 at $34.77 The back-ofce services provider said that its fourth-quarter net income rose by one-third, beating Wall Street expectations. Nasdaq Crocs Inc.,up $2.61 at $18.56 The shoemaker expects its fourth-quarter sales to be at the high end of its guidance and said annual sales will top $1 billion. Urban Outtters Inc.,down $5.48 at $23.93 The retailer said that CEO Glen Senk resigned earlier in the week and that the companys cofounder,Richard Hayne,succeeded him.
NEW YORK The Dow Jones industrial average crept lower Wednesday as Europe edged closer to a recession that would hurt corporate prots in the U.S. The rst earnings reports from American companies didnt add much encouragement. Germany reported that its economy, the largest in Europe, shrank slightly at the end of last year. And the European Union revised its gures for economic growth in the third quarter to 0.1 percent, its slowest pace in more than two years. Europe is still the main risk, said Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. Yes, theyve been making progress on their budgets, but they clearly have growth problems. The Dow dropped 13.02 points, or 0.1 percent, to close at 12,449.45 in another day of light trading. The European Commission also said Hungary has taken no effective action to contain its budget decit. Stock markets in Germany and France fell slightly, and the euro dropped half a penny against the dollar, to $1.27. The United States depends on Europe to buy about 20 percent of its exports, and concerns about Europe have led analysts to lower their prot estimates for U.S. companies.
Hostess seeks bankruptcy protection

NEW YORK The maker of Twinkies, Sno Balls and Wonder Bread is trying to lose the fat. Hostess Brands is hoping to cut its high costs as it heads back into bankruptcy protection for the second time in less than a decade. Hostess has enough cash to keep stores stocked with its Ding Dongs, Ho Hos and other snacks for now as it battles rising labor costs and increased competition. But longer term, the 87-yearold company has a bigger problem: health-conscious Americans favor yogurt and energy bars over the dessert cakes and white bread they devoured 30 years ago. Last year, 36 percent of Americans ate white bread in their homes, down from 54 percent in 2000, according to NPD Group. Meanwhile, about 54 percent ate
wheat bread, up from 43 percent in 2000. Consumption of healthy snacks is growing, too. About 32 percent of Americans ate yogurt at least once in two weeks in 2011, for instance, up from 18 percent in 2000. Were less likely to be snacking on items that we shouldnt be snacking on, said Harry Balzer, chief industry analyst for The NPD Group, a consumer marketing research rm. Hostess, which is a privately held, doesnt disclose sales figures. But Nyeyoka Bryan, 26, is proof that the company has lost at least some of its hardcore fans. Bryan said she stopped eating Twinkies at about age 16 because she decided they were unhealthy. Still, the student who was sipping a fruit smoothie in the snack aisle of a Duane Reade store in New York on Wednesday after-
noon said shed be sad if Twinkies disappeared. Theyve been around a long time, she said. To be sure, Hostess snacks dont neatly t into the U.S. trend toward a healthier lifestyle that includes a diet rich in whole wheat foods, fruits and vegetables. For instance, Twinkies, a snack cake with a mysterious cream lling that epitomizes empty calories, has 150 calories and 4.5 grams of fat. Meanwhile, a Ding Dong chocolate cake with lling has 368 calories and 19.4 grams of fat. Hostess has introduced some healthier options in recent years, including 100calorie packs of cupcakes and Twinkies. The company also is working on lowering sodium in some products. But those efforts havent helped the companys junk-food status much.
Fed survey: Economy ended 2011 strong

WASHINGTON The nal weeks of 2011 were among the economys strongest as Americans shopped and traveled more, ending the year with a shot of optimism for 2012. Thats the bright picture the Federal Reserve sketched in a survey released Wednesday. It said all but one of its 12 banking districts experienced some growth from late November through the end of the year. Some sectors of the economy, notably housing, remain weak, the Fed said. But consumers spent more freely. Factories made more goods. Americans stepped up
travel. And the auto industry enjoyed its best stretch of the year. Economists noted greater condence in the tone of the report. For example, the central bank described auto manufacturing as vibrant in several districts. Consumer spending was deemed robust in the Dallas region. It has been quite a while since we have seen the Fed use words like vibrant and robust to describe any part of the economy, said Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Amherst College. I think one of the things driving the stronger language is that things are better than the Fed had been expecting. front of Yahoo Inc. for the rst time in the jockeying for runner up to Google Inc., according to statistics released Wednesday by comScore Inc.
The one district that didnt experience growth was Richmond, Va., although even there, the Fed said economic activity either attened or improved slightly. The report comes just six months after the economy nearly stalled under the weight of high food and gas prices and supply disruptions from Japan that slowed U.S. manufacturing. The economy and the job market have both improved since then. And December may end up being the strongest month of 2011. Employers added 200,000 jobs. And the unemployment rate fell to 8.5 percent the lowest rate in nearly three years. The Food and Drug Administration ordered J&Js Animas Corp. unit to promptly provide a plan to rectify its failure to report within 30 days cases where its device may have caused or contributed to death or serious injury. In a warning letter sent to Animas on Dec. 27 and posted online by FDA Tuesday, the agency wrote that inspectors found Animas, which is based in West Chester, Pa., never reported on one case of serious patient injury and delayed reporting on two others.

Half Moon Bay shuts out Aragon

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Last season, the Half Moon Bay boys soccer team only lost twice in 28 games or as head coach Victor Mederos put it, We feasted last year. This year will be a little bit of famine. On Wednesday, in their third game as the newest member of the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division, the Cougars got their
rst taste of victory, scoring twice and shutting out an Aragon team who is starving for goals in the new season. Theyre young, Mederos said of his Cougars. Were a team that starts three freshmen and three sophomores, with only three returning players from last year. This is a team that I thought might not win three games in this league, because in this league they make you pay for your mistakes. And so far, the games we havent played well its because weve
made mistakes. On Wednesday, Half Moon Bay minimized those errors. But by the way Mederos addressed his team post-game, it was apparent the head coach wanted just a little more. Our defense, like today, was dropping back too far, were giving them too much room and you cant defend inside your area because youre just asking for trouble, Mederos said. You have to defend them outside and force them to shoot from distance. Against
Carlmont, we let them inside our area all day and they scored two goals on the back post, which is a fundamental mistake. Were young, its a growing year. Next year, were going to be better for it. Half Moon Bay got their goal early courtesy of one of their freshman, Jonathon Rico. The goal was a welcomed sight as Mederos has no choice to rely on his young players of the 18 boys on his roster, 15 are new to the varsity.

A statement win T
On paper, the opening of the PAL Bay Division regular season presented boys basketball fans with an intriguing matchup. On the one hand, you had the reigning champion Burlingame Panthers, who played their typically tough preseason schedule heading into league play. And on the other hand, you had the Woodside Wildcats, who played 14 times and won 11 of them. Add to that the fact that Burlingame would be without starting point guard Frankie Ferrari and come tip-off, you couldnt help but ask yourself if the Wildcats were primed to hand the Panthers their rst league loss in since the 2009-2010 season. Well, the Panthers showed Wednesday night that anyone fostering ideas of unseating them this year will have another thing coming. Behind a 24-point effort by Connor Haupt, Burlingame beat Woodside 62-45. Any win is a good win in this league, said Burlingame coach Jeff Dowd. I think our defense was great. I think we did a great job of stopping the three guys we were concerned with. I think the thing I was most proud of was we executed well after losing our point guard and we were able to put 62 points on the board. I thought if we could put up 50, we would win. With Ferrari out, it was point guard by committee for the Panthers, who relied heavily on Neil DeQuant, Adam Feinberg and Gabe Robles. The trio was more than up for the task, combining for 15 points in the win. They fought, Woodside head coach Phillip White said of his Wildcats. They didnt give up, they didnt fold. We progressively got down a little more and a little more, but they didnt give up. We made a little run. Im not sure that in the past if we necessarily recover completely from that and just fold the tent and go home. But these guys, they scrapped, they clawed. Woodside held the lead very early in the game at 6-4 with ve minutes left in the rst quarter. But it was then that Burlingame made

Confusion at the top

he same people who said LSU was the best team in college football all season had to concede that Alabama was the far better team Monday night. So whos really No. 1? That depends on whether you buy into the Bowl Championship Series version of a national title. Remember that after you strip away the pseudo-science, fuzzy math and constant tweaks, the BCS champion is still decided by a poll of coaches and a prearranged one at that. So maybe the only thing everyone can agree on is that when LSU coach Les Miles said after the game, Thats for the voters to gure, he certainly wasnt lobbying his fellow coaches. They are required to put the winner of the BCS title game on the top line of their nal ballot, which, as one frequent critic of the cartel noted, is like a North Korean election. Alabama was the overwhelming No. 1 choice in the nal Associated Press poll of writers and broadcasters as well, but not unanimous. The Tide rolled up 55 rst-place votes among the 60 ballots cast; Oklahoma State got four and LSU got the nal one. Its that lone vote for the Tigers, though, thats stuck in the craw of the BCS faithful the day after, likely because the guy who cast it, Erik Gee of KNML-AM in Albuquerque, N.M., said he intended to pick LSU no matter how the rematch turned out. And it turns out hes got plenty to back him up. Alabama and LSU are 1-1 head-to-head. LSU, in addition to being the SEC champion at Bamas expense, no less also played a much tougher schedule. The Tigers were 5-1 against teams that nished in the nal AP Top 25, and 8-1 against teams ranked at the time they played;

Alex Smith has turned boos into cheers

By Antonio Gonzalez
SANTA CLARA At the end of last season, Doug Smith never imagined his son would play for the San Francisco 49ers again, not after hearing the quarterback get booed out of Candlestick Park and yet another coaching change on the way. Alex Smith sat down with his father to seek
Alex Smith
advice ahead of free agency. The 2005 No. 1 overall pick was intrigued by new coach Jim Harbaugh, an offensive guru at Stanford and a former NFL quarterback who embraced Smith instantly. Still, the quarterback had his apprehensions
about staying in San Francisco. Its easier to say, Well, the grass has got to be greener somewhere else, Doug Smith said by phone this week from his home in La Mesa, Calif. As I reminded Alex, if hed have turned the clock back two years to the post-Mike Nolan era, If theyd have hired Harbaugh instead of (Mike) Singletary, youd have been doing backips at that point, Alex. You wouldnt have had any qualms. You would have been
anxious. You would have been eager. So I said, OK, you had some bad years there that went nowhere. But here it is. What do you do? You could try it somewhere else. Heres a guy thats nally offensively oriented. Every step since has been more surprising than the next.

McKenzie brings Packers experience to Raiders

By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA Reggie McKenzie began his playing career as a linebacker with the Los Angeles Raiders in the 1980s. He returns to the franchise as general manager after having been schooled for nearly two decades in the ways of the Green Bay Packers. Its that model that he will try to replicate in Oakland as he aims to restore the Raiders to a level they havent reached during a nine-year playoff drought. McKenzie signed his contract with the Raiders on Tuesday and immediately fired coach Hue Jackson. His next task will be to bring in a new coach that he hopes he can work with in a fashion similar to the relationships between Ron Wolf and Mike Holmgren and Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy that led to Super Bowl titles in Green Bay. I only know one way, McKenzie said at his introductory news conference. Ive been working at it for the last 18 years and it started with Ron Wolf, what he
implemented in Green Bay. I saw how it works. Thats the only way I saw and thats the only way I know. McKenzie said he already has a short list Reggie of potential McKenzie coaching candidates and would like to ll the position as soon as possible. But with some current Packers assistants such as linebackers coach Winston Moss, secondary coach Darren Perry and quarterbacks coach Tom Clements, possibly on that list, McKenzie may need to wait until Green Bays season ends to make a move. McKenzie has made plans to interview Todd Bowles, who had been Miamis secondary coach before taking over as interim coach for the nal three games of the season, a person with knowledge of the plans said on condition of anonymity because the team was not making interviews public. ESPN first reported Bowles candidacy. Under late owner Al Davis, the
Raiders had hired exclusively offensive coaches to run the team, starting with Tom Flores in 1979. Davis himself was always deeply involved with the defense, with some considering him the de facto defensive coordinator. Those past criteria are no longer an issue with McKenzie put solely in charge of this hire by Davis son, Mark, the teams new managing general partner. We just want a winner, a guy we feel can lead this team and move it forward as we embark here on this new era, McKenzie said. The next coach will be a coach that we all feel will lead us to our ultimate goal, and that is winning championships. Offense or defensive coordinator types really will play no inuence. The No. 1 thing is he can lead, motivate and move our players and our team to victories. The new coach will be the seventh in 10 seasons in Oakland as Davis had been unable to find the right man for the job ever since Jon Gruden left for Tampa Bay following the 2001 season. Bill Callahan took the team Gruden built to the Super Bowl the following season but was fired after
going 4-12 in 2004. Norv Turner had two years at the job, followed by a year for Art Shell, one-plus season for Lane Kifn, two-plus seasons for Tom Cable and this past year under Jackson. Jacksons 8-8 record made him the only coach in that span to leave the job without a losing mark, but he also was unable to get the Raiders to the playoffs. The Packers had only four coaches during McKenzies entire tenure in Green Bay, a level of stability he hopes to bring to Oakland. Consistency played a big part, but Mark Davis has told me that he wants long-term success, and were going to start it right now, he said To begin, were going to have to build. Thats where our mindset is. Along with finding the head coach, McKenzie needs to bulk up a thin personnel department and scout his own roster to determine which players to keep and what holes need to be lled. He praised quarterback Carson Palmer, who gures to remain the starter after Oakland gave up a 2012 rst-round draft pick and conditional 2013 second-rounder to acquire him from Cincinnati in October.
Palmer is owed $12.5 million in 2012 with $5 million guaranteed. That trade left the Raiders with picks only in the fth and sixth rounds in next years draft, although they are expected to get compensatory picks for losing free agents like Nnamdi Asomugha, Zach Miller, Robert Gallery and Thomas Howard. McKenzie said he would like to have more picks but understood why the trade was made. He said there are many other ways to acquire talent, specically pointing to undrafted free agents, the waiver wire, and lower-level free agents, as opposed to big ticket signings. There could also be trade possibilities as some key players may not t in as well if the team changes schemes under a new coach. There will be no quick decisions at all because the last thing I would want is to let go of someone and he turns out to be a Pro Bowl type player, McKenzie said. Mistakes will happen. They happen because of haste and I dont want to act in haste. So well evaluate all our personnel and when the time comes, when its time to make a move, if we have to, we will.
Giants give All-Star pitcher Vogelsong 2-year deal

By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Ryan Vogelsong and the San Francisco Giants agreed Wednesday to a twoyear contract worth approximately $8.3 million after he became one of the teams most reliable starters and an unlikely All-Star last season. The 34-year-old right-hander, who had been eligible for arbitration, had a remarkable comeback season in 2011. He set a career high for wins while going 13-7 with a 2.71 ERA in 30 games, 28 starts.
The deal includes a club option for 2014. Vo g e l s o n g toiled through three seasons in the Japanese League before Triple-A stints in 2010 for the Ryan Phillies and Vogelsong Angels. In the Bay Area with the team that originally drafted him in the fth round in 1998, Vogelsong became a frontline starter at last. And he did so at
rst by lling in for injured Barry Zito. Its such a great story when a player perseveres the way Ryan has in baseball, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Hes had to go through the ups and downs and then has a breakout season and he gets rewarded. This is well-earned. Hes got the game. Hes got great stuff with command and he does all the little things. Were excited about what he did for us last year and now to tie him up, were excited and happy for him. It truly is an amazing story. Invited to spring training on a
minor league deal, Vogelsong became a feel-good story and won the teams Willie Mac Award. The honor is named for Hall of Famer Willie McCovey and is voted on by players, coaches and training staff for the most inspirational Giants player on the eld and in the clubhouse. Even Vogelsong didnt see all this success coming in his comeback with his rst club. He has said, From Day 1, Ive been a Giant at heart. Vogelsong joined the Giants in mid-April, starting 3-0 and winning
six straight decisions during one stretch spanning the All-Star break. He won his nal three starts after a ve-start losing streak, a rare bump along the way during his breakout year. He had a tremendous year last year and hes the consummate pro, said Bobby Evans, the teams vice president of baseball operations. Were proud to have him back in a Giants uniform. Last year, to see his success and to see him get to take that beyond one year, is great. I think he was one of the biggest surprises in baseball.

Penn State president faces alumni

Sports agent Leigh Steinbergfiles for bankruptcy

SANTA ANA The sports agent who was
the inspiration for the movie Jerry Maguire has led for bankruptcy protection. Court records show Leigh Steinbergs attorney filed the Chapter 7 petition late Wednesday in federal bankruptcy court in Santa Ana. Details were not immediately available. The ling comes after an Orange County Superior Court commissioner authorized a bench warrant for Steinberg last month after he failed to appear in court in a case involving a $1.4 million debt.
PITTSBURGH Penn State University President Rodney Erickson was grilled Wednesday by alumni unhappy about how the school handled a child sex abuse scandal, the ring of longtime football coach Joe Paterno and a lack of transparency in the case. Erickson is attempting to repair the schools image with alumni, faculty, staff and students more than two months after former football assistant coach Jerry Sanduskys arrest brought controversy, criticism and contemplation to the school. Some alumni have criticized the universitys failure to conduct a complete investigation before ring Paterno and ousting Ericksons predecessor, Graham Spanier, while decrying the leadership as secretive and slow to act. Erickson, who was greeted by polite applause, told the crowd at the start of Wednesday nights 1 1/2-hour meeting in Pittsburgh that openness and communication are his guiding principles. He said critics have accused the school of having problems in those areas recently and the school will do better in the future. When he said he wont allow the scandal to dene the university nor our outstanding football program, the audience of about 600 people burst into applause. But the rst questioner called the treatment of Paterno unconscionable, drawing some applause and a few boos. We will certainly want to honor Joe as the future unfolds, Erickson replied. And there was passionate and prolonged applause for another persons suggestion members of the board of trustees step down. I think the board will have to make those decisions, Erickson replied to some groans from the crowd. Erickson, who said an investigation into what the trustees knew and when is ongoing, declined to answer several questions, such as why the school red Paterno when the coach had already announced that he would retire at the end of the season.

But the Dons posed very little threat offensively. Their best chances were produced by Aldo Severson and German Perez. And while Cougars keeper Nestor Ruiz looked shaky at times handling the ball, Aragon infrequently challenged the junior goalie. Half Moon Bay led 1-0 at the half. Mederos expressed a bit of displeasure in his teams inability to capitalize on some open opportunities in the second half. Mischa Fernandez came close on a couple of occasions, while Jose Uribe tested the Aragon keeper from long distance a pair of times. Holding on to the 1-0 advantage, Half Moon Bay seemed to settle things midday through the second half and began pressuring Aragon up top. It was that push that earned them a corner kick. The feed to the near post was touched by Omar Guevarra and the ball snuck over the goal line for the second score of the game. That goal was luck, Mederos said. And sometimes you need a little luck. Our rst two games, weve had goals like that go against us and it cost us a game against Burlingame, we lost a game 2-1 by a stupid fundamental mistake. Its ugly, but thats the way its going to be all year. Were a team thats not going to score a lot of goals, period. Its a rebuild year for us. The loss dropped the Dons to 0-3 in the Bay Division. Half Moon Bay is 1-2. We have to be patient, Mederos said. Last year we only lost two games in 28, so we feasted last year, this year is a little famine. But, whatever doesnt kill us will make us stronger.

Certainly, he had little chance to move elsewhere in free agency. Before he even signed a one-year deal, Smith hosted a pair of informal minicamps at San Jose State during the lockout that some 49ers dubbed Camp Alex, forcing him to assume a leadership role. Smith organized practices, led classroom sessions to teach Harbaughs playbook and even played the part of security guard and public relations coordinator with fans and reporters. Smith sought out advice on how to organize practices from his father and uncle, John, the former Michigan State coach. By the time training camp began, the 49ers had about as much of the offense installed as players could without Harbaughs guidance. Even still, he debuted with a preseason debacle at New Orleans with six sacks in all by the Saints, including two on Smith in San Franciscos 24-3 loss. There havent been many hiccups since. I just see a guy that doesnt really care too much what people think, said kicker David Akers, who made an NFL-record 44 eld goals this season. Hes broken records where people think, OK, well its just passing. Well, how about not turning the ball over? How about moving the ball down the eld and having some long, sustaining drives where it wears down the defense, gets you in scoring opportunities? If were able to have all the eld goal opportunities, that means were still moving the ball. Smith also credits his approach this season to his expanded family. His son, Hudson, turned 8 months old Wednesday. Smith split time with his wife tending to Hudson late at night during the lockout, inspiring him to reach out to the rest of his family with the uncertainty surrounding his football future. From the ve-minute mark in the rst quarter to the ve-minute mark in the second, the Panthers went on a 16-4 run. It wasnt until 4:34 that the Wildcats scored points nine and 10 on a couple of free throws and they didnt sink a eld goal until an Arthur Ricks putback with 4:05 left in the half. By then, Burlingame lead 22-10. Its going to be tough when they hit 10 or

title game shouldnt be a rematch of a regular-season game so Alabama and LSU could meet again in Super Dome. There was plenty of talk at the time about the possibility of yet another split national championship. Those werent unusual in the days before the BCS hijacked the postseason in 1998 by inserting itself as the middleman between the power conferences, bowl committees and TV partners and making sure everybody got a hefty paycheck. The only time the BCS and AP polls split since then was in January 2004. Thats when a loaded Southern California team was nosed out of a spot in the title game by Oklahoma and went on to crush Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Several days later, BCS No. 1 pick LSU then-coached by Nick Saban narrowly outlasted the Sooners and took home what anybody without a rooting interest would have called a tarnished trophy. The Trojans won the nal AP poll convincingly. We used to call the national championship mythical, and despite the Frankenstein-like creation that is the BCS and until theres a playoff, it will stay that way. Only the names of the schools that get kicked to the curb changes from year to year. Speaking of change, the BCS is promising to do that for the umpteenth time. Maybe because a playoff would bring in more money, or shore up the terrible TV ratings, or get critics off their back, the people in charge are going to re-examine their options. For all the fake promises in the past, theres actually a chance a four-team playoff could result. Dont count on it. The feeling here is never, ever trust the BCS. It keeps boasting Every Game Counts even though its own national title matchup proved it didnt. Woodside had one surge left in them behind Matt Ennis and Raul Rodriguez. Ennis came in averaging 17.9 points per game and nished with 20. But Dowd said after the game he was quite pleased with the way the Panthers limited Woodsides second-chance opportunities that and the defensive efforts of Chris Graham and Will Dobson off the bench. Woodside pulled to within 11 with two minutes left in the fourth quarter following a 10-0 run. But a Loew basket and a steal by Dobson sealed the victory for Burlingame. I think in this league you dont wont to overlook anybody, Dowd said. I think it was tough playing without our point guard, but we have to honor the process, be process-oriented instead of outcome. Do what we do, our little steps, and see if we can honor the adversity and these roadblocks in front of us.
NINERS
Smith has started to shed his draft-bust label and turned around his career under Harbaugh, leading the 49ers (13-3) to the playoffs for the rst time in nine years. Theyll host the New Orleans Saints (14-3) in the NFC divisional round Saturday at Candlestick, a place fans smothered Smith with boos so often in the past. There are so many quarterbacks but they dont have that it factor. Im starting to see a lot more of that in him right now and it probably has a lot to do with Jim Harbaugh because he played that position, said former 49ers receiver and Hall of Famer Jerry Rice. Smith has been by far the most surprising player for the NFC West champions. The former Utah quarterback threw for a career-best 3,144 yards and 17 touchdowns with only ve interceptions, anchoring Harbaughs version of the West Coast offense with recordtying efciency. San Francisco nished with 10 total turnovers, equaling the 2010 New England Patriots for the fewest in NFL history. Smith, who has played under a different coordinator each season and only one previous offensive-minded coach in Norv Turner, has even started to sound like Harbaugh refusing to relish any vindication and deecting attention back to the team. I had a great season up to this point, but like I said, just got us a ticket to the dance like everybody else, Smith said. Those who know Smith best believe the NFL lockout mightve helped more than hindered the quarterback despite a shortened offseason and a new coaching staff.
LITKE
Alabama was 2-1 and 4-1 in those situations. Oklahoma State, meanwhile, nished 4-0 against teams in the nal Top 25 and likely would have claimed Alabamas spot in the title were it not for an emotional overtime loss at lowly Iowa State. All the people going after Gee on message boards are aiming their barbs at the wrong target. Its the BCS thats making a mockery out of college football, and if TV ratings are any indication, fans are growing tired of the constant promises to get it right. The 14.0 rating for what was an almost-unbearable kicking contest was the second-lowest of the 14 BCS title games. Even so, that left plenty of people mad at Gee. It hasnt been nearly as bad today as I expected, he said in a telephone interview Tuesday. But Ill be clear one more time: I dont dislike Alabama. If the roles had been reversed, I would have picked Alabama. Gee is a 39-year-old radio host who knows his way around a controversy. For the record, he grew up all over the country as the son of a Marine-turned-high-school football coach and graduated from Oklahoma with a degree in journalism. An examination of his ballots AP makes them public shows a consistent, conscientious voter. Plus, he can defend himself, something Gee has been doing often since rst announcing his decision to stick with LSU in early December. That was right after the BCS blithely ignored two of its own unwritten rules a team must win its conference championship; the 12 3s and our deep shots arent going down, White said in reference to his teams 30 percent shooting in the rst half. Thats going to be difcult. But our kids are resilient. Theyre going to come back from it. Theyre going to be ready to go. Theyve already put this one behind them. The teams exchanged buckets to end the half and Burlingame led 30-19 at recess. The Panthers shut the door in the third quarter behind Haupt and Nick Loew, charging out of the gate to the tune of an 8-0 run. Haupt knocked down three from long distance in the third quarter and with under three minutes left in the frame the Panthers led by as many as 20. Hes a huge part of what we do, Dowd said of Haupt. Hes been shooting the ball well in practice. Hes been buying into what we sell on the defensive end. Hes really trying to develop his game in all areas.

their initial move. It wasnt that the Panthers were spectacular from the eld (they shot 45 percent for the half), but their 17-8 advantage on the board yielded them second-chance opportunities.

Van der Sloot pleads guilty to killing Peruvian woman
LIMA, Peru After Joran van der Sloot pleaded guilty Wednesday to the 2010 murder of a Peruvian woman he met at a Lima casino, his lawyer argued that the killing was tragically triggered by fallout from the very event that originally brought his client notoriety. The persecution sufJoran van der fered by Van der Sloot after the unsolved disapSloot pearance of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway ve years earlier scarred him psychologically with a kind of post-traumatic stress disorder, defense attorney Jose Jimenez told the three female judges who are to sentence his client Friday. The young Dutchman has been the prime suspect in the Holloway case since she disappeared on Aruba ve years to the day before the killing of the 21-year-old Peruvian woman, business student Stephany Flores. With the evidence against him in the Peru killing strong, Van der Sloot entered a guilty plea Wednesday at his lawyers urging, hoping for a reduced sentence. I truly am sorry for this act. I feel very bad, the 24-year-old defendant said, showing no emotion in a brief admission of guilt in fractured Spanish. He did not use the Dutch translator provided for the proceeding.
French journalist killed in Syria

By Elizabeth A. Kennedy and Greg Keller
U.S. denies role in Iranian scientists death

WASHINGTON The Obama administration denied any role in Wednesdays killing of an Iranian nuclear scientist, the latest in a series of events that have exacerbated tensions with Iran. The assassination of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was the latest in a year that has already seen new U.S. economic sanctions, threats to bar American ships from the Persian Gulf, an Iranian death sentence to a jailed U.S. citizen and an escalation in Tehrans uranium enrichment program. Iranian reports said two assailants on a motorcycle attached a magnetic bomb to Roshans car of, killing him and his driver. Roshan was a chemistry expert and director of the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in central Iran, and the slaying suggested a widening covert effort to set back the Islamic republics atomic program. But US ofcials said they had nothing to do with it.
BEIRUT A French TV cameraman became the first Western journalist killed in the 10-month-old Syrian uprising Wednesday, dying in a barrage of grenades during a government-sponsored trip to the restive city of Homs, officials and a witness said. The violence came just hours after President Bashar Assad made a surprise appearance at a rally in the capital, Damascus, joining thousands of supporters in a show of condence as the conict enters a dangerous and violent new phase. The killing of Gilles Jacquier, who worked for France-2 Television, was likely to become a rallying cry for both sides, as the regime and the opposition blame each other for a recent spate of mysterious attacks. The government blamed terrorists for Wednesdays attack, which it said also killed eight Syrians. About 15 journalists were on the government trip when they were hit by several grenades, according to Jens Franssen, who was on the tour. At some point, three or four (grenade) shells hit, very close to us, Franssen told the Belgian VRT network. Video footage posted on Youtube appeared to show the aftermath of the attack, with people frantically loading the injured into cars. There were pools of blood on the ground. The authenticity of the footage, however, could not be independently veried.
REUTERS
French journalist Gilles Jacquier is seen in this undated picture released by France Television.
A Dutch freelance journalist was also wounded in Homs Wednesday, although it wasnt immediately clear if he was part of the trip. Jacquier, 43, was the rst foreign journalist to be slain, Reporters Without Borders said. He had reported over the years from Afghanistan, Gaza, Congo, Iraq and Yemen, most recently for the investigative program Special Envoy, his network said. Its up to Syrian authorities to ensure the security of international journalists on their territory, and to protect this fundamental liberty which is the freedom of information, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said. During the uprising, several Syrian journalists have been killed or tortured as they tried to cover the revolt, which has proven the most serious challenge to the Assad familys 40year dynasty. With the U.N. estimate of more than 5,000 dead since March, it is among the bloodiest uprisings of the Arab Spring.
Two bodies left at Mexico mall; drug toll at 47,500

By Adriana Gomez Licon
MEXICO CITY Two decapitated bodies were found inside a burning SUV early Wednesday at the entrance to one of Mexicos most luxurious malls, feeding fears drug violence is inltrating privileged realms previously thought safe. Police recovered the mutilated bodies before dawn off a toll highway at a shopping mall entrance in the heart of the Santa Fe district thats a haven for international corporations, diplomats and the wealthy. The heads and a threatening message were dumped a few yards away, Mexico City prosecutors said in a statement. Hours later, the government released a drug war body count recording more than 47,500 victims in five years, echoing inde-
pendent death tolls tabulated by Mexican media. Local media published images of the charred car and reported that a note written on hot pink paper was signed by the drug gang Mano con Ojos, or Hand with Eyes. Mexican police had said the gang was weakened by the arrest of its leader, Oscar Osvaldo Garcia, in August. The victims, a man and a woman in their 30s, had not been identied, prosecutors said. They said the SUV with license plates from neighboring Mexico state had been stolen. The Centro Santa Fe mall where the charred car was found is one of the countrys largest and most glamorous, housing highend retailers like Coach, Prada, Hugo Boss, Saks Fifth Avenue and Mexican department store Palacio de Hierro. The dump scene was cleaned up so quickly that shoppers werent
even aware anything had happened. The car was left only hours before Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard guided a tour of a bridge construction site 300 yards (meters) away. Ebrard spokesman Diego Gutierrez said there was nothing to indicate the bodies were a message to the mayor. Mexicos sprawling capital has been something of a haven from the brutal cartel violence that has claimed thousands of lives along the U.S. border and in outlying states. But gangs have been ghting over an increasingly lucrative local drug market for more than a year, mainly in the capitals working class outer neighborhoods and suburbs. The Santa Fe district has been spared much of that violence and managed to maintain its reputation as a manicured bubble built atop a former landll on the western edge of Mexico City.

Furniture,like food,can be semi-homemade

By Amanda Kwan
PHOENIX If you can look at a dented, chipped, dusty piece of furniture thats been in someones garage for years and see potential and beauty, then Debbie Nelson is impressed. The average person has a difcult time piecing it together, says the Phoenix-area furniture renisher. Nelson, a single mother of seven, has made a living out of nding treasure in other peoples trash. Her online furniture store, Funky Junk Restore, is half a year old, and she already has so much business that shes looking for help beyond her current work crew (her kids, ages 7 to 23). She works from home in Mesa, a suburb where home foreclosure rates are sky-high and one in ve ofce spaces sit empty. But Nelson is among a growing number of stayat-home moms in Phoenix and around the country who have turned years of do-it-yourself experience into successful businesses. The idea is similar to TV cook Sandra Lees semi-homemade philosophy in cooking. Lee has built
a cooking-show empire on the idea that mostly ready-made food plus some fresh ingredients can result in food that looks and tastes from scratch. Nelson likes the parallel to what she and other furniture-refurbishing moms have done with pieces bought from estate sales, yard sales, Craigslist or secondhand shops. She looks for secondhand pieces from well-known furniture makers, and uses paint, wood nishes and new hardware to make them look and feel new for the same price as a new piece made of imsier materials like particle board or wood veneers. Im about value and money, Nelson says. I want to give you the most couture look as possible. The style she favors is mostly shabby chic, with some industrial as well. Pieces have a carefully wrought weathered look made popular by stores like Anthropologie and Pottery Barn. Shabby chic-ing involves buying vintage wood pieces with ornate details like curved legs. Industrial requires a mind for repurposing rusty metal commercial equipment for home use. Whats required, Nelson says, is
Semi-homemadefurniture usually entails taking old,worn out tables,chairs and other wood furniture and refurbishing them to give them a second life.
knowing enough about furniture to see good bones. Many people who come to semihomemade furniture sellers like herself, she says, know what they want but lack the creativity or time to execute it. And, she adds, they probably shouldnt, given the cost of materials, labor and time needed for a DIY project: I dont think its necessarily worth it for just one item. In the Phoenix area, a two-day, DIY home-decor seminar with a $150 admission fee attracted more than a dozen women. It drew so much positive feedback that organizers plan to host the Hello There! House seminars twice a year. Many semi-homemade businesswomen learned their trade through trial and error as they redecorated their own homes. Natalie Cox of Natty By Design says the shabby chic style in particular lends itself to easier and faster projects, since wear and tear is part of the charm. A 28-year-old mother of four children under 7 years old, Cox sells what she calls more modern furniture pieces that might take inspiration from high-end stores like Horchow. She says she would have time for more custom projects if she went the shabby chic route, but she prefers the other style. I have to stay true to myself, says Cox.
Cox started Natty By Design in January 2011 in the garage of her home in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert to supplement her husbands salary while he works on his MBA at Arizona State University. She had been refurbishing furniture for her family for years and had all the equipment already, she says. The furniture allowed me to stay at home and be with my kids. A steady stream of business, mostly from referrals or Craigslist posts, has allowed her to be picky with projects and to raise prices. Now she schedules the semi-custom requests around her childrens schedules. Nelson spent a recent Saturday meeting with clients in the front room of her house, a large former music room that now serves as office and showroom. And shes interviewing furniture painters who can, you know, do the base coats so that it frees up my time for the rest of her business buying, renishing, sanding, staging photo shoots, listing online and meetings with clients. People become overwhelmed that the economy is bad. But business is thriving, she says.
Spreading rock on your garden can help feed soil

By Lee Reich
If you feel like getting out in the garden, now is as good a time as any to spread rock on the ground. Or not (more on that later). You say your ground already has enough rocks in it? True enough, but the rock Im talking about is a powder, and is likely a different kind of rock from what you already have. But why put down more rock of any kind? The reason is that rock powders sold for garden use are particularly high in minerals. For example, rock phosphate is, as the name implies, rich in phos-
phorous, one of the big three nutrients needed by plants. In fact, rock phosphate is the stuff, after being treated with sulfuric acid, that becomes the phosphorous in synthetic fertilizers. Colloidal phosphate, also known as soft phosphate, is a similar product, this one ground up ner than rock phosphate. Two other commonly used rock powders granite and glauconite are rich sources of potassium, another of the big three nutrients needed by plants. (The third, nitrogen, is not found in rocks.) Glauconite is also called greensand, or Jersey greensand if thats
where it was mined. And it is greenish. Besides the major nutrients phosphorous and potassium, these rock powders are also sources of micronutrients. Micronutrients are needed in only minuscule amounts by plants, but nonetheless are essential to their health. A soil can be naturally decient in micronutrients: For example, pockets of molybdenum deficiency exist in Nevada soils; natural cobalt deficiencies exist over much of Iowa and parts of the Northeast. Synthetic (chemical) fertilizers generally supply no micronutrients at all.
Application for the long haul

Because they are merely groundup rocks, rock powders do not readily dissolve in water to give up their goodness to plant roots. Release of their nutritional goodness takes time, as well as the work of bacteria, fungi and roots. Freezing and thawing opens up cracks in the soil so rock powders applied now at least get into the soil, even if they dont yet dissolve. Theres no rush, though, to run outside and start spreading. What rock powders lack in quick action they make up for in long-term effect; they release their goodness over a decade or so.
A typical application would be about 10 pounds per 100 square feet.
Are ground rocks really needed?

Theres also no rush because you might have no reason to apply them in the rst place. Rock powders are relatively expensive for the amount of phosphorous or potassium they offer. And unless some local garden store has rock powders for sale, you could pay as much or more for shipping as for the material itself. More to the point is whether rock

January is time to prune roses

harpen your shears and don your armor because its time to prune roses. In the San Francisco area, most roses are pruned between midDecember and the end of February, when the plants are dormant. The exception is old-fashioned roses that bloom only once a year. They are pruned lightly right after they nish blooming in the summer. Your shears, lopper and pruning saw should be sharp and well-oiled. You should be dressed in clothing that will protect your skin from the sharp prick of thorns. Gauntlet-style gloves that cover your forearms are great for the task. Your goal is to end up with a bush that has four to seven young and healthy canes extending upward from the base of the plant in a vaselike shape (You also can think of it as the shape of a cupped hand). The
new canes you leave on the plant should be l a r g e r around than a pencil. New canes are a bright and smooth green or mahogany. Old canes are wrinkled and gray. Start at the base of the bush and remove the old canes, cutting closely to where the canes emerge. Remove new canes that are smaller around than a pencil. Do not leave stubs. You also want to remove any dead, diseased, damaged or weak growth. This includes suckers, which sprout from below the base, or bud union, of the plant. The bud union looks like a gnarled knob. Canes spring from the bud union.
When you have only the handful of new canes that you want to keep, cut off any stems from those canes that cross into the center of the bush, or cross each other. Remember, when looking down into the plant, you want it to be cupped and open. Now youre ready to prune the rose to the height you want. A general guide is to prune the remaining canes to between 18 inches and 36 inches, depending on the type and size of the rose. Generally, you dont want to remove more than one third of the healthy growth. Heres where it gets a little tricky, so take your time: You want to prune just above an outward-facing bud. Buds arent always easy to see. Sometimes they look like a small reddish dot. Sometimes they look like a smile. You want to cut above an outward-facing bud at approxi-
mately a 45-degree angle, so that the upper point of the cut is about one-quarter inch above the bud. In other words, your cut is slightly higher and at an angle from the outward-facing bud. Youre pruning in the direction that you want new growth to go: angled up and facing out. Now comes cleanup. Remove any leaves left on the bush and all leaves that have fallen to the ground. They are likely to be infected with a fungus such as blackspot, rust, or powdery mildew all common diseases for roses. Dont compost the leaves, pitch them. Finally, spray the bush really drench it and the soil beneath it out to the drip line with a horticultural oil or dormant spray made to smother insect eggs and fungal spores that might be left on the rose. Want hands-on practice in prun-
ing rose bushes? Come to the San Mateo/San Francisco Master Gardeners annual rose-pruning clinics Jan. 14 and 28 in Burlingame. The Jan. 14 clinic is from 9 a.m. to noon at Washington Park on Burlingame Avenue. The Jan. 28 clinic is from 9 a.m. to noon at the Rose Garden on Park Road, located south of Burlingame Avenue.

Swerving can be worse than hitting animal on road

LOS ANGELES Do you brake for cats, dogs, squirrels, skunks and possums? How about horses, cows, elk, moose, or deer? Fight the urge to swerve as you brake if you dont have time to check trafc rst, said Julie Startup, a Washington State trooper and spokes-
woman in the agencys Seattle and Bellevue area. If you are able to make a safe lane change, by all means do it, said California Highway Patrol Ofcer Tamara McCormack, a spokeswoman in the Los Angeles ofce. But swerving without looking could result in an accident. The size of the animal matters. If
its shorter than your cars hood and you dont have time to check other lanes, go through it, Startup said. If the animal is taller than the hood, avoid it if you can, knowing it still might be better to hit the animal. These crashes happen so fast, often times drivers dont have the option of making a decision about what to do, said Russ Rader,
spokesman for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, but the best thing, unfortunately, in most cases is to hit the animal and try to avoid swerving or doing something that could cause you to lose control and hit somebody else or an object or go off the road and roll over. Most human injuries from animal collisions occur not when animals are
hit but by the crash that follows. And most fatalities could be prevented by using seatbelts in cars and helmets on motorcycles, Rader said. The National Highway Trafc Safety Administration recorded 173 fatal crashes and 12,000 injury crashes involving animals in 2009, the lat-

I was invincible. It was devastating when I got the news. Her biggest concern wasnt for herself, however, it was for her boys. Our biggest concern was keeping the kids stable. I wanted them to have as normal a life as possible but it was almost impossible, she said. Salah shielded the boys from her condition until it became clear she would actually survive. She had to stop working and relied heavily on friends, who made the family meals and shuttled the boys to and from school as she was battling her breast cancer. It was exhausting just getting through the day, she said. But Im lucky. I was able to get some cutting-edge treatments at UCSF and now the cancer is in remission, she said. The Bay Area Afliate Susan G. Komen Foundation played a big part in her recovery, she said. The foundation recently pledged $1 million for breast cancer research at the University of California San Francisco, where Salah was treated. I am so grateful to be back to normal. I feel really good, Salah said. When she took her sons to the 49ers game Sept. 11, they knew they were there because one case that was a bear, he said. If your own dog gets out of the car or house, do anything you can to keep it from moving in the direction of trafc, said Cheryl Conway, a spokeswoman for the Aurora Animal Shelter in Colorado. Do not chase it, she warned. Try calling and running in the opposite direction, like you are playing. One of Conways three Labrador retrievers is Bonny Kelani, who was 7 months old when someone threw her off a freeway overpass in Aurora. Foster families cared for her through thousands of dollars in surgeries and weeks in rehab. Conways family was Bonny Kelanis fourth foster stop in July. They ofcially adopted her in August. Bonny Kelani is still afraid of trafc, Conway said. The rst time Conway tried to take her for a walk next to a street she panicked. Like a colt compost made from all sorts of materials, including kitchen scraps. Orange rinds from Florida, old bread from Kansas-grown wheat, and banana skins from Costa Rica each contribute to the smorgasbord of micro- and macronutrients contained in homemade compost. So, do I ever use rock powders? Yes, about every decade or two, mostly as insurance and to supply micronutrients around trees and shrubs that dont get annual dressings of compost. But Im not saying that using these rock powders is really necessary.

The season may not have started out strong for Smith in that Sept. 11 game but in the stands at Candlestick that day were a group of women, all breast cancer survivors, who were rooting on the 21-year-old linebacker in his debut. For every home game this season, Smith has donated 20 tickets to local breast cancer survivors through the Bay Area Afliate Susan G. Komen Foundation. Salah, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 41, jumped at the chance to take her boys to the game. I have to be honest, Im not a big football fan but my kids live and breathe football 24/7, said Salah, who is now 46. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. They found it late. I was shell-shocked since there is no history of cancer in the family and I had a clean mammogram the year before, she said. I ate right, exercised and was an athlete when I was younger. I thought
their mom survived cancer and Smith gave them the tickets. They were so excited to see the team, they thanked their mother for beating the cancer. It was special to watch the game alongside my sons after the ordeal, she said. Im proud to be a survivor. She now volunteers her time raising money for cancer research. Salah is just one of the many cancer survivors that Smith gave 49ers tickets to this on a rope, she reared back and almost ipped over. The family has tried sitting with her on the porch and in the yard but when she gets close to the road, she still tries to get away. Bonny Kelani owes her life to the good Samaritan who took her to the hospital, but experts recommend letting authorities handle animals hurt in crashes. If they are injured, they will lash out and bite anything without realizing what they are doing, Conway said. If you hit an animal and your car will make it, get off the road and call 911. And if you do try to help a dog or cat, cover it rst with a blanket or towel so it cant hurt you. Based on claims, State Farm Insurance estimated there were 1.09 million crashes between deer and vehicles in the United States between July 1, 2010, and June 20, 2011, said company spokesman Eddie C. Martinez in Los Angeles. That is 7 percent lower than a year earlier and down 9 percent from three years earlier, he said.
year. Andrea Matray, Faye DAlessio and Tamsin Kendall, all San Francisco residents, and Danville resident Sandy Garcia also got 49ers tickets courtesy of Smith this year. The National Football League also supports the ght against breast cancer through a partnership with the American Cancer Society. Players wear pink gloves and cleats during NFL games in October to be later auctioned off to support cancer research. Back before the season started, Salah did not know who Aldon Smith was. Now, he is her favorite. Ive watched him on the eld. He doesnt do any showboating. I admire his personality. He is a hard worker, she said. Smith will have to work extra hard Saturday to slip through the Saints offensive line to get to record-setting quarterback Drew Brees. He will be supported, however, by Salah, her family and a group of other women who survived cancer and their families. I appreciate family life more than ever, she said.

est year statistics are available, said spokesman Jose Alberto Ucles. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety estimates there are more than 1.5 million crashes involving deer each year, resulting in more than $1 billion in vehicle damage annually. Very few dogs, cats or other small animals are included in national studies about animal strikes because they are not reported to police or insurance companies, Rader said. But using data from several agencies, including NHTSA, the institute did a comprehensive study in 2004 that found 77 percent of reported animal crashes involved deer, 10 percent involved cattle, 6 percent horses and 6 percent dogs. We even had
Pennsylvania had the most deer-vehicle crashes, with 101,299, Martinez said, followed by Michigan with 78,304. But he said the chances of a driver hitting a deer in the next 12 months are greatest in West Virginia, at one in 54. Thats better than a year ago, when chances were one in 42, he said. Martinez said the average cost of a crash with a deer is $3,171, up 2.2 percent from a year earlier. Deer are most active between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m., and during mating and migration season, typically fall and winter. Top months for deervehicle collisions are November, October and December, according to research from State Farm. Watch for deer crossing signs, use your high beams whenever possible at night, dont rely on car-mounted deer whistles and remember that deer usually travel in herds, he said.

mistic revenue projections that he said make the governors budget risky. I think what were concerned about is the capital gains assumptions that the administration is making is a little bit optimistic, Taylor said. Revenue from capital gains taxes has been a huge boost to Californias general fund during boom times, such as when shares of Apple or Google soar. Tax gains from an initial public offering for Facebook, based in Silicon Valley, could provide another windfall to Californias budget this year, but Taylor said even that would not be enough to close the budget decit. Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff, a Republican from Diamond Bar, said the governors proposal will only increase the states dependence on income taxes from the wealthy, which can be volatile from year to year. The top 1 percent of income earners pay about 40 percent of income taxes, which is the dominant source for the states general fund, which the governor pegged at $92.6 billion in the coming scal year. It will simply result in yet another boom and bust cycle, which caused our current budget crisis, Huff said in a statement. Senate Republicans stand ready to work with the governor to craft a bipartisan budget solution that includes necessary government reforms to education and public employee pensions, without placing additional burdens on California families. Ana Matosantos, the governors nance director, said she remained condent in the states revenue projections. We and the analysts ofce have different estimates of exactly how fast income for these earners will increase, Matosantos said. How fast tax revenue will grow in California while the economy is still struggling to emerge from the recession is important for deciding how the nal budget will look when the Legislature adopts it, perhaps as soon as its midJune deadline. Democratic lawmakers, who control the Assembly and Senate, have said they are not keen on making further budget cuts after several years of reducing the services available to the states neediest residents. At the same time, school employees have been laid off and higher education funding has been cut signiment will offer 84 small onebedroom/one-bath, 98 large one-bedroom/one-bath, 84 two-bedroom/onebath and 42 two-bedroom/two-bath apartments. Complete interior and exterior renovations of the units are proposed including replacement of wallboards, ceiling and oor coverings, new cabinets and appliance, new plumbing and electric, repaired roofs, siding replacement and new waterproofing measures. In total, 14 three-story complexes along with a recreation center and clubhouse are planned. The demolition plans called for building a larger complex and created concerns from residents about traffic increases. Changes such as keeping Susan Drive as a public street, increasing parking and removing originally proposed townhouses were since made to the plans to address those needs. Anonymity on the Internet has driven the ability of those who seek to exploit others, Kelly said. Each year, up to 300,000 American children are at risk of being exploited in domestic minor sex trafcking by pimps, supporters of the ballot initiative contend. Speier calls the global epidemic modern-day slavery. The CASE Act was submitted to the state Attorney Generals Office in November by California Against Slavery and the Safer California Foundation. Sex trafcking is considered the thirdlargest and fastest growing criminal industry in the world and California recently received an F grade in a recent national report on laws to protect children against sex trafcking. cantly, leading to skyrocketing tuition. The governor wants the Legislature to start making the cuts soon, partly as a way to demonstrate to voters that increases are necessary, but Democrats have said they are inclined to wait until Brown releases his revised budget in May to get a truer picture of Californias tax revenue. The $4.2 billion of cuts in Browns budget proposal hits an array of state services, including CalWORKS, the states main welfare program, Medi-Cal, public schools, subsidized child care and in-home services for the disabled. The governor said the cuts to social service programs mean recipients will have the same amount of money in real terms as they did during the 1980s. Im not going to overreact, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said last week when the governor released his budget plan. This is not the real crunch time. Steinberg said he was willing to immediately work with the governor on one money-saving aspect of the budget proposal, consolidating state agencies. The legislative analysts report released Wednesday praised Browns general approach to budgeting: a combination of tax increases and spending cuts combined with additional cuts to be enacted automatically if voters reject higher taxes in November. The governor wants a November ballot initiative that would temporarily increase taxes on the rich, starting with individuals making more than $250,000, and raise the statewide sales tax by half a cent, to 7.75 percent. The taxes would expire in 2017. The administration estimated the temporary tax increases would raise about $7 billion a year, but the legislative analysts ofce has pegged that gure at around $4.8 billion in additional revenues. Whether voters will approve those tax increases is an open question. Brown is telling Californians they must choose between paying higher taxes or accepting cuts that would result in three fewer weeks of school, higher college tuition and fewer state park rangers, among other changes. If voters reject the tax increases, Brown is calling for an additional cut of $5.4 billion to be enacted immediately after the election, with nearly all of that coming from public schools. It is exciting to see the project get under way after years of delay. Not only will completion of this project result in 308 new, high-end apartments for San Bruno residents, but a new apartment community will have a positive impact on a surrounding neighborhood that has had to deal with a vacant apartment complex for over five years, said Community Development Director Aaron Aknin. Construction is estimated to take about 15 months, nishing in the third quarter of 2013, said Aimco spokeswoman Cindy Duffy. Residents will be able to move in shortly after. During construction, the project is estimated to create about 250 jobs locally.

BROWN
but the governor also received a sobering reminder that his proposal faces a number of obstacles in the months ahead. The Democratic governors budget essentially gives Californias a choice: Approve higher taxes in the fall, or the state will immediately enact another $5.4 billion in cuts that could include reducing the school year by three weeks. The states nonpartisan legislative analyst, Mac Taylor, said Wednesday that if the Legislature passes a spending plan similar to what the governor proposed, California will have taken a dramatic step toward solving its ongoing decit. The Legislative Analysts Office report underscores the fundamental uncertainty of our time and, therefore, the nancial imperative to be prudent, make the tough cuts now and give the voters a choice on additional revenues, Brown said in a statement Wednesday, reacting to the analysis of the budget proposal he released last week. But the plan faces hurdles: It perpetuates the states reliance on tax revenue from the rich, a volatile source that uctuates greatly from year to year, requires support from Democratic lawmakers who are opposed to another year of deep spending cuts to education and social service programs, and hinges what is perhaps the most difcult to read: the whim of California voters. Brown estimated that California faces a $9.2 billion decit in the 2012-13 scal year, which begins July 1, and has called for closing that shortfall with a near equal balance of spending cuts and the temporary tax increases he wants voters to approve in November. The analyst, however, gave a more conservative estimate of state tax revenue than the one Brown presented, citing a lower forecast of income and capital gains taxes from the wealthiest residents. The difference in overall revenue between the governors estimate and the analysts is $3.2 billion, mostly in income taxes.

are actually prosecuted. For trafckers, commercial sexual exploitation of children is both less risky and more profitable than selling drugs. In fact, a pimp selling just four children can earn more than $600,000 per year. What does it say about our country when a person is more likely to serve time for selling marijuana than a 14-year-old girl? Speier said yesterday, which was National Human Trafcking Awareness Day. Kelly is founder of the Safer California Foundation and formerly oversaw online privacy, safety and security efforts at Facebook.
Nearly a year ago, Speier joined local nonprofit officials, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe and FBI ofcials to launch the San Mateo County Zero Tolerance initiative to help end the cycle of exploitation in this county. The initiative is partnering with South San Francisco Police Chief Mike Massoni to develop a law enforcement protocol for handling trafcking cases that can serve as a model for other jurisdictions. The local plan is scheduled to be unveiled later this year, Speier said. In the meantime, supporters of the CASE Act hope to get the required signatures to have it qualify for the November ballot by mid-May. To learn more about the CASE Act visit www.caseact.org.

Naito aka Joe Tadanobu Naito Case Number 121890 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Tadanobu Joe Naito aka Tadanobu Naito aka Joe T. Naito aka Joe Tadanobu Naito. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Lily Obuchi in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition of Probate requests that Lily Obuchi be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedents will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection of the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: March 5, 2012 at 9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, 400 County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
