Audit slams high-speed rail

Signatures being gathered to eliminate California rail authority
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The states high-speed rail project was knocked hard by the state auditors ofce yesterday for its increasingly risky funding situation and dozens of errors and inconsistencies in monthly progress reports. On another front, Secretary of State Debra Bowens ofce reported yesterday that propo-
nents of a ballot initiative to stop the project can start collecting signatures to qualify it for the November ballot. The No Train Please Act, submitted by Peter Seidel, needs 807,615 signatures over the next 150 days to qualify for the Nov. 6 ballot. Seidels measure calls for eliminating the California High-Speed Rail Authority and bars the state from paying for the project
unless a new constitutional amendment is approved. Yesterdays news comes less than two weeks after Roelof van Ark, the authoritys former chief executive officer, abruptly resigned. The Legislature is also currently considering a bill by state Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, R-Dana Point, that calls for withholding more than $9 billion in bond proceeds
from the project. Despite the myriad knocks on the project, however, Gov. Jerry Brown has repeatedly said he is committed to it. In the coming weeks, Brown is expected to make a major announcement regarding the rail authority and how it is governed. With Brown, however, seeking tax increas-

WASHINGTON Declaring the American dream under siege, President Barack Obama delivered a populist challenge Tuesday night to shrink the gap between rich and poor, promising to tax the wealthy more and help jobless Americans get work and hang onto their homes. Seeking re-election and needing results, the president invited Republicans to join him but warned, I intend to ght. In an emphatic State of the Union address, Obama said ensuring a fair shot for all Americans is the dening issue of our time. He said the economy is nally recovering from a deep and painful recession and he will ght any effort to return to policies that brought it low. Weve come too far to turn back now, he declared. Obama outlined a vastly different vision for xing the country than the one pressed by the Republicans con-

City moves forward with plastic bag ban

Shoppers must use reusable bag, or spend an extra dime
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When President Barack Obama said the United States has been subsidizing oil companies for 100 years and thats long enough, U.S. Rep Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, couldnt jump out of her seat fast enough to applaud the president as he gave his State of the Union address to Congress in Washington, D.C. last night. Clean tech and sustainable energy are growing industries in California, creating new jobs and are better for the environment, she said.
Eshoo called Obamas speech last night highly inspirational and injected with condence. Her Peninsula colleague in Congress, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, agreed, saying the presidents speech was Anna Eshoo invigorating. Calling clean energy Americas future, Speier was pleased to hear the president say the country should move toward meeting its energy needs without hav-
ing to rely on foreign oil. Like the country invested in big infrastructure projects during the Great Depression 80 years ago, so too should the United States invest in these same type of projects today, putting more Americans back Jackie Speier to work, Speier said. He spent a fair amount of time chastising Congress, which is welldeserved, Speier said.
Those planning to shop in Millbrae on or after Sept. 1 should bring a reusable bag or plan to spend an extra dime per bag after the City Council moved forward last night with a ban on single-use bags by retail businesses. Millbrae discussed banning single-use carryout bags from ve grocery stores and supermarkets in town last year but expanded the law, at the direction of the council, to include all retail businesses.

City favors settling cell tower suit

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Police reports
Shes in store for a problem
A woman was arrested for attempting to leave without paying for a bag lled with items at Safeway on East Hillsdale Boulevard in Foster City before 11:56 a.m. Friday, Jan. 20.
San Carlos ofcials favor settling a lawsuit with AT&T over a previously denied cellphone antenna but rst want to see how the proposal compares with what Shelford Avenue neighbors originally sought in the application and how the language of the resolution holds the wireless company to the conditions. At Monday nights meeting, the council asked City Attorney Greg Rubens to bring back on Feb. 13 the detailed settlement for consideration before they take a formal vote. The council also suggested that AT&T representatives speak with the affected neighborhood about the settlement prior to the meeting. The plan to scuttle the lawsuit calls for hiding the antenna inside a fake tree known as a monopine and ensuring the installation not harm a signicant heritage tree. If the tree dies, AT&T would be required to replace it and is also responsible for funding an arborist chosen
by the city to make landscaping recommendations. With governments unable to deny a cell tower application purely on aesthetic components, the city didnt have a leg to stand on in court, according to Mayor Andy Klein. Rubens also cautioned the council prior to its meeting that litigation is expensive and far from a guaranteed win. Lane Kasselman, director of communications for AT&T, declined comment on the proposal, citing the active litigation. Rubens said the company has indicated its plans to accept if the settlement is offered. AT&T, formally known as New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, sued San Carlos in late November citing a violation of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The city had upheld the appeal of resident Joon Oh, essentially denying the conditional use permit for an antenna on a water tank at the Shelford Avenue California Water Service Company. The council said Cingular didnt plan to put the proposed
antenna on an existing one, failed to address aesthetic issues and submitted wrong information such as the size of the antenna. The Planning Commission had approved the request but, the council, presented with the application errors found by residents, unanimously felt differently. In other action, the council voted 3-2 to cut down 29 eucalyptus trees alongside Burton Park, with councilmen Matt Grocott and Mark Olbert dissenting. City staff recommended the removal because of the trees age and entanglement in utility wires. Olbert said he was not satised with the outreach process to the community and worried about the shock and negative reaction by those in the neighborhood who may not have had advanced warning. Other agendized matters, including direction to staff on whether to prepare an ordinance banning polystyrene, were pushed to the Feb. 13 meeting because of how long the Monday night meeting ran.

Facilities, enrollment top issues S.F.sheriff tells mayor hes not leaving for San Mateo-Foster City schools
District officials to discuss ways to address growing number of students this year
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
How to pay for facility needs from a fourth elementary school in Foster City to needed upgrades throughout the San MateoFoster City Elementary district will be the focus of board conversations next month. Voters previously approved Measure L, a $175 million bond measure in 2008, but it fell short of the $330 million outlined in needs in the 2007-08 facilities master plan, Superintendent Cynthia Simms explained during an annual press conference held Tuesday afternoon. With the additional cost of a new school to meet the growing enrollment needs in Foster City, the district has some real decisions to make in the coming months. Simms expects conversations about another possible bond measure to occur in February when the board will receive updated demographic information and projections as well as results from a community survey about a new bond measure. Facility needs are often categorized separately general needs throughout the district and a fourth Foster City school. The current $175 million bond was approved by voters in 2008 to help update schools but district ofcials have long said it wouldnt cover all the needs like updating technology and libraries at all campuses. In addition, growing enrollment in Foster City means the district is looking at construction of another elementary school. Measure L has money to purchase the land but not to cover the remaining costs. A bond measure is the route many districts use to meet these costly facilities needs. What kind of bond has always been the issue. Survey results that should be presented to the
district in February could be a factor in the decision. A new bond effort, for example, could include districtwide work as well as the costs for building a new school in Foster City. Or, it could result in two measures. Splitting the district has been an issue. Over the last year, the district created a Special Facilities Improvement District made up of Foster City residents and placed a $25 million bond on the November ballot for only Foster City residents money which would have been used to fund a fourth elementary schools construction. The board pulled the bond in August, nding the move premature before a possible site had been identied and studied. Since then, the district publicly expressed interest in a 6-acre site located at 1050-1064 Shell Blvd. in Foster City. While funding is one aspect, housing the growing student body continues to be a challenge. Since the 2006-07 school year, Foster City elementary school enrollment has grown from 1,865 students to 2,147 in the current year an increase of more than 15 percent, Simms said. A fourth elementary school has long been the preferred answer. Before much can be done, the district needs to complete environmental testing on the possible site in Foster City. A consultant was hired and will meet with the district to discuss a timeline to hold public hearings. In the meantime, Simms described negotiations as a delicate dance adding it had been a few months since the district had reached out to the property owners.

SAN FRANCISCO Embattled San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi says he told Mayor Ed Lee he is not leaving his job, despite being recently charged with domestic violence and two other crimes. Mirkarimi told reporters in City Hall on Tuesday that the meeting with Lee was cordial and he said he could do his job effectively despite the misdemeanor charges. Lee said earlier Tuesday that he would ask if Mirkarimi might consider taking a leave of
absence because his case has become a distraction. Lee has the power to suspend the newly swornin-sheriff but said he would leave the decision up to Mirkarimi. Mirkarimi has pleaded Ross Mirkarimi not guilty. He says he will not take pay while he is in trial and he also would recuse himself from any disciplinary cases in the sheriffs department.

And just 45 percent of likely voters say they would pay higher taxes for more government services. The poll surveyed 894 likely voters by telephone from Jan. 10-17. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.

County analyzes state budget hit

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo County would lose an estimated $5.65 million in funding for its programs and services if the governors recently proposed budget gets the green light, with nearly all the money coming from public aid. Although county ofcials went to work penciling out the potential losses after Gov. Jerry Brown released his budget proposal Jan. 5, County Manager John Maltbie didnt offer a full overview of the hits prior to yesterdays Board of Supervisors meeting. Department heads and elected ofcials previously worried the cuts would be hard; yesterdays analysis tried explaining just how far and where. The proposed budget frankly is like the current state budget, said Maltbie, referencing the proposed tax initiative and associated trigger cuts if a measure fails. The board posed no questions to Maltbie, saying it prefers to table any discussion until next weeks budget workshop on mid-year cuts. The greatest loss $5.3 million of the estimated $5.65 total would come from the Human Services Agency. Plans to reduce CalWORKS funding by $1.1 billion statewide and re-emphasizing the work aspects means a $4.3 million hit directly to clients, according to Maltbies summary. Approximately 537 families in San Mateo County would be affected, losing $372 monthly or $4,464 annually, if they dont meet the federal work requirements and only receive payments for children. A revised program for families with children in which the parents arent eligible for aid means approximately 1,376 families would lose $119 per month. The change equals a $1.9 million loss in direct cash for the county. The county would also lose $1 million because of reduced CalWORKS cases and be on the hook for an estimated $2 million to nd the majority of child welfare services programs.
The cost of administering Medi-Cal will cost roughly $4 million if the cost of living adjustment is suspended. The Health System wont be immune from the chopping block, with $132,000 possibly up for grabs due to shifts in in-home health John Maltbie support services and care for the elderly and disabled, a reduction in reimbursements for low-income childrens health insurance and a beach monitoring program costing $40,000.

County tweaks massage rules

Revisions give more oversight, prevention of illicit activity
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
County supervisors yesterday unanimously endorsed a revamp of the rules governing massage establishments in the unincorporated areas, changes ofcials say will help prevent prostitution and human trafcking operating under the guise of legitimate businesses. The board voted 5-0 as part of its consent agenda in favor of a new ordinance which brings the county rules in line with existing state regulations and gives the Sheriffs Ofce and county greater ability to shut down improper facilities. The new ordinance takes effect July 1. The county has 22 massage establishments in the unincorporated areas which operate under an ordinance adopted in 1973 and slightly revised in 1987 and 1991. In 2011, the Sheriffs Ofce received seven complaints and made four arrests for either drug possession or keeping or residing in a home for the purpose of prostitution. The parlors involved in the arrests included a private home on Devonshire Avenue, the Relax Center Asian massage on Fifth Avenue and Siesta Massage on El Camino Real. Under the new ordinance, the county maintains responsibility for regulation and inspection while moving much of the administrative
work and background checks to the state. In 2008, the state passed a law governing massage establishments and giving voluntary oversight to the nonprot California Massage Therapy Council. The change was meant to free practitioners from background checks and license fees in any and all cities where they worked. Counties and cities cant impose more stringent or different requirements on massage workers than those from the state, such as having 250 hours of education from an approved school. The new county ordinance requires massage practitioners be registered with the county and have a valid CAMTC registration. The ordinance also spells out other requirements such as a clients genitals being covered, the presence of wash basins, an appropriate level of lighting and businesses not being located in buildings that have blocked or darkened views from the public. The Environmental Health division will collect a $420 annual fee for one routine and one follow-up visit annually but the county wont charge a separate registration fee. Violators risk administrative nes up to $500 per violation and for each day a business remains open during the violation period. The county may also revoke or suspect a business registration.

Money talk dominates Romney,Gingrich contest

By Steve Peoples
TAMPA, Fla. Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrichs fight for Florida and the states beyond stayed at a high boil Tuesday as Romney released tax returns showing annual income topping $20 million including a now-closed Swiss bank account and Gingrich insisted his high-paid consulting work for a mortgage giant that contributed to the housing crisis didnt include lobbying. After a night of mutual sniping in a debate, the two leading GOP presidential candidates tried to turn the arguments over their various business dealings to his own advantage. Romneys release of two years worth of tax documents, showing him at an elite level even among the nations richest 1 percent, kept the focus on the two mens money and how they earned it. Romneys income put him in the top 0.006 percent of Americans, according to Internal Revenue Service data from 2009, the most recent year available. His net worth has been estimated as high as $250 million. As the former Massachusetts governor relented to pressure and released more than 500 pages of tax documents, Gingrich kept up the heat, saying Romney was outrageously dishonest for accusing him of inuence peddling for government-backed mortgage giant Freddie Mac. I dont own any Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac stock. He does, so presumably he was getting richer, Gingrich told Fox News on Tuesday. The specter of well-off Gingrich and wealthier Romney feuding over

money matters pleased Rick Santorum, who lags in polls for next Tuesdays Florida primary but hopes to benet from the dust-up as the race moves on. He told MSNBC: The other two candidates have some severe aws. Striking out in two directions, Romney planned to offer advance criticism of President Barack Obamas Tuesday night State of the Union address, then focus on Floridas housing woes in an event sure to again highlight Gingrichs $25,000 monthly retainer from Freddie Mac. The former House speaker said Romneys charges were ironic, given that it was revealed after Mondays debate that Romney himself was an investor in both Freddie Mac and its sister entity, Fannie Mae. Gingrich, a candidate once left for dead, stood before thousands in a U.S. ag-draped airport hangar in Sarasota brimming with condence about his chances of winning the GOP nomination. He barely mentioned Romney in two events, though he went hard at Obama as the president prepared for his big speech. Gingrich said Obama should stop blaming his Republican predecessor for the countrys economic woes. This is the fourth year of his presidency. He needs to get over it, Gingrich said. A friend of mine says, He has shifted from Yes We Can to Why We Couldnt. Gingrichs campaign also announced it had pulled in $2 million, mostly online, since winning the South Carolina primary on Saturday. Gingrich planned to pad his campaign account with a series of fundraisers this week. Records released by Romneys campaign show he closed a bank account in Switzerland in 2010, as he was entering the presidential race. He also kept money in the Cayman Islands, another spot popular with investors sheltering their income from U.S. taxes. But Benjamin Ginsberg, the Romney campaigns legal counsel, said Romney didnt use any aggressive tax strategies to help reduce or defer his tax income. Gov. Romney has paid 100 percent of what he owes, Ginsberg said Tuesday. Romney paid about $3 million on nearly $22 million in income in 2010 and indicated his 2011 taxes would be about the same, $3.2 million on nearly $21 million in income. During the debate, Romney predicted his tax information would generate chatter but not any surprises, saying what he paid was entirely legal and fair. Romney had declined to disclose any tax releases until he came under mounting criticism from his rivals. In 2010, he donated a combined $3 million to the Mormon Church and other charitable causes. His effective tax rate was about 14 percent, the records showed. For 2011, hell pay an effective tax rate of about 15.4 percent, a level far lower than standard rates for high-income earners, reecting the lower rate for long-term capital gains.
Unemployment rates fell in 37 states last month

By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON The unemployment rate fell in two-thirds of U.S. states last month, evidence that recent modest improvements in the job market have benefited most regions of the country.
The Labor Department said that unemployment fell in 37 states in December, rose in three and remained unchanged in 10. Thats similar to November, when joblessness declined in 43 states, and October, when it dropped in 36. The three states that reported increases were Hawaii, New
Mexico and Rhode Island. Nevada posted the highest unemployment rate, at 12.6 percent, followed by Californias 11.1 percent. North Dakota had the lowest rate, at 3.3 percent. Last month, 25 states reported an increase in total jobs, while 24 states said they lost jobs. The gures are different than the unem-
ployment rates because rates can fall even if a state doesnt add new jobs. Unemployed workers who give up on their job searches, for example, are no longer counted as unemployed, thereby reducing the rate. Nationwide, employers added 200,000 jobs in December and the countrys unemployment rate fell
for the fourth straight month to 8.5 percent. Hiring picked up toward the end of 2011 as the economy improved. Analysts expect the economy expanded at an annual rate of about 3 percent in the October-December quarter, up from an anemic 0.9 percent pace in the rst six months of last year.

Gadhafi loyalists seize Libyan city

JFK library releases last of secret tapes

By Bridget Murphy
BENGHAZI, Libya Moammar Gadha loyalists seized control of a Libyan mountain city in the most serious challenge to the central government since the strongmans fall, underlining the increasing weakness of Libyas Western-backed rulers as they try to unify the country under their authority. The taking of Bani Walid, one of the last Gadha strongholds captured by the new leadership late last year, was the rst such organized operation by armed remnants of Gadhas regime. A simultaneous outbreak of shootings in the capital and Libyas second largest city Benghazi raised authorities concerned that other networks of loyalists were active elsewhere. The security woes add to the difculties of the ruling National Transitional Council, which is struggling to establish its authority and show Libyans progress

in stability and good government. Bani Walids fall comes after violent protests in Benghazi, where Libyans angry over lack of reform stormed the NTC headquarters and trashed ofces. In Bani Walid, hundreds of wellequipped and highly trained remnants of Gadhas forces battled for eight hours on Monday with the local pro-NTC revolutionary brigade, known as the May 28 Brigade, said Mubarak al-Fatmani, the head of Bani Walid local council. The brigade was driven out and Gadha loyalists then raised their old green ag over buildings in the western city. Four revolutionary ghters were killed and 25 others were wounded in the ghting, al-Fatmani said.
BOSTON Final recordings President John F. Kennedy secretly made in the Oval Ofce include an eerie conversation about what would become the day of his funeral. In talking to staffers while trying to arrange his schedule, Kennedy remarked that Nov. 25 was shaping up to be a tough day after his return from Texas and time at Cape Cod. Its a hell of a day, Mr. President, a staffer agreed. The exchange was among the last 45 John F. hours of private recordings Kennedy made, Kennedy tapes The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum released Tuesday. They provide a window into the nal months of the 35th presidents life. They include discussions of conict in Vietnam, Soviet relations and the race to space, plans for the 1964 Democratic Convention, and re-election strategy. There also are moments with his children. The tapes are the last of more than 260 hours of recordings of meetings and conversations Kennedy privately made before his assassination in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. David Coleman, the professor who leads the Presidential Recordings Program at the University of Virginia, on Tuesday called the nal recordings signicant because while JFK didnt tape himself regularly, he chose to preserve important moments. The universitys Miller Center of Public Affairs already has published three volumes of Kennedy transcripts and is working on another two volumes from recordings that previously went public, Coleman said. Kennedy did not tape as systematically as Johnson or Nixon. But what he did tape was often very important discussions, he said.

Marine to serve no time in Iraqi killings case
CAMP PENDLETON A Marine sergeant who led a squad that killed 24 unarmed Iraqis will spend no time in connement, despite a military judges recommendation Tuesday that he spend three months in the brig. Military judge Lt. Col. David Jones said his hands were tied by a plea agreement that prevents any jail time for Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich. Wuterich pleaded guilty to negligent dereliction of duty as part of a deal with prosecutors. The minor charge carried a maximum sentence of 90 days, which is what Jones recommended. But because of the way the military system works, the terms of the deal with prosecutors werent known to the judge until after he made his sentencing recommendation in court on Tuesday. Prosecutors asked Jones to give Wuterich the maximum sentence of three months connement, a reduction in rank and forfeiture of two-thirds of his pay.
Palestinians take step toward elections,unity

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Palestinian political rivals Hamas and Fatah on Tuesday took a rst practical step toward elections and possible unity by opening an ofce for voter registration in the Gaza Strip. Presidential and parliament elections are envisioned for late spring, though a date has not been set. Elections are at the center of reconciliation efforts between the Islamic militant Hamas and Fatah, the movement of internationally backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Hamas won parliament elections in 2006 and wrested control of Gaza from Abbas by force a year later, leaving him with only the West Bank. The Gaza ofce of the Central Elections Commission was closed after the 2007 takeover and reopened Tuesday.

Not the place
Editor, We support our public schools and in my case, I support them by voting for their funding requests and by sending my children there. I do this with the hope that public schools will educate the young, not so that they can provide a platform for religious activities (A unique church, in a unique spot in the Jan. 14 edition of the Daily Journal). The sect in question makes a point of proselytizing students, which makes its presence in a public school particularly noxious. I hope the school district will terminate this arrangement as soon as possible, and have written the superintendent to this effect.
Impact of Burlingames Long-Term Care Facility

Editor, Here are some points for the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors to consider before making a decision to close the Burlingame Long-term Care Facility. The county cannot afford to lose 281 licensed MediCal beds. Nursing homes are running at 91 percent capacity. Closure would mean placing county residents outside the county. BLTC is a facility of last resort. In addition to serving frail elders, it is home to sizable populations of younger adults, mentally ill residents and homeless in need of long-term care. No other facility in the county will take these individuals. Where will they go? Recent cuts in senior services include cuts to in-home supportive services which keep elders at home. Many will no longer be able to continue living independently at home and will be forced to move into long-term care facilities, most of those seeking scarce MediCal beds in local nursing homes, further exacerbating the situation. This issue affects us all and I urge the public to get involved in the debate.
Saluting Mayor Jim Ruane

Editor, I have had the privilege of working with students and their families on the Peninsula for 45 years. With the horrific San Bruno explosion, home-grown Mayor Jim Ruane was instantly thrust into the spotlight. For the last 18 months, Jim has carried the banner of his city with great dignity, poise and purpose. Through candor and clarity, he has engaged the media, state and national testimony and the multiple demands of his position with unwavering professionalism. The citizens of San Bruno and all of the Bay Area can be justifiably proud Jim Ruane. Thanks, Jim.

A lesson in our law

Editor, Apparently Mr. Herndon didnt learn about the U.S Constitution during his time at Burlingame High School. If he had, he would know that his ill-advised venture would not be legally acceptable (A unique church, in a unique spot in the Jan. 14 edition of the Daily Journal). I also have to wonder who at the high school or school district agreed to allow the use of the school property for this purpose. Apparently they dont know their constitution either.

Democracy will not fail us unless we fail democracy

Editor, The last time the world was gripped by a persistent global downturn, people lost faith in their political institutions. And a number of infamous leaders, on the left and on the right, came to the fore with disastrous results. Today, as global economic difficulties persist, and faith in our democratic institutions waned, (I am tired of people telling me how smooth things are run in China) we must be on guard against a return to authoritarianism. Hungary may be one such example. Sooner or later people in different countries, maybe our own, will be offered a bargain, give me more power and I shall solve all your problems. We must show people an alternative. Democracy will not fail us unless we fail democracy. Lets participate in neighborly civil discourse; lets focus on local and pragmatic solutions; lets vote.

Spreading awareness
Editor, As a physician, there is nothing more heartbreaking than seeing a patient with a disease that could have been treated, or in the case of cervical cancer, prevented. Too many women are unaware of the simple steps that can save their lives: annual pap tests and HPV vaccinations. Cancer screenings may seem scary and unaffordable, but with programs like Every Woman Counts, these tests are readily available for those who cant afford them. The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause in cervical cancer and with vaccines widely available today, the opportunity to reduce the prevalence of the cancer is something to seize. While January has been deemed Cervical Health Awareness Month, we cant stop there. Educating women throughout the year about the resources available to them will continue to reduce cervical cancer and HPV rates, ensuring the health of all women. For more information about the Every Woman Counts program, please visit www.cdph.ca.gov or call the hotline (800) 511-2300.
Why is there opposition to Obamacare?

Editor, As I listen to the campaign rhetoric promising that well repeal Obamacare, I wonder why good Americans are so eager to have people with pre-existing health conditions excluded from health care insurance? Why is it to critical that our adult offspring be dropped from our insurance coverage when they reach 24? And exactly why do we really want insurance company administrators making health care decisions for us? What is it Im missing here? I also fail to understand why we are better off having uninsured people with chronic illnesses served in our crowded emergency rooms? I thought this was proven to be both costly and ineffective. If the proponents of repeal prevail, wont we as a community end up with more untreated sick people? More bankruptcies as people try to pay medical bills? And ultimately more power in the hands of the wealthy, who like our members of Congress, already have excellent health care coverage?

ast weekend, the Daily Journal published a story about a new church congregating Sundays at Burlingame High School. It was a pleasant enough story, replete with the young pastors idea that he wanted to provide money to the school district for use of the facility as a way to give back. He also chose the locale of his former school since that is where he formed the foundation of his desire to gather and hold a congregation to hear his views on the Gospel. A good idea, right? Well, not according to a couple of letter writers who believed there should be a separation of church and state and that somehow the district was participating in the (not my words) sects ... proselytizing students. Another letter writer said that the young pastor needed to learn the U.S. Constitution, and that such an (again, not my words) ill-advised venture would not be legally acceptable. I was fairly certain the district could rent its facilities to whatever group they chose and that to exclude a group for its practices, unless, of course, they were illegal, would be in itself illegal. Turns out I was right. I sent a quick missive to district ofcials about the policy asking for clarication. Here is their response: The district does not in any way participate in nor does it sponsor the religious organization and its religious services. The District rents its facilities to religious organizations in strict compliance with the Civic Center Act contained in the State Education Code. Under Section 38131(b) of the Civic Center Act, Governing Boards shall make school facilities and grounds under its jurisdiction available as a civic center to community groups, including religious organizations conducting religious services. ... Excluding religious organizations from the Districts Facilities Use Rental Program would be discriminatory and a violation of California Education law. Seems fairly clear to me. So instead of giving the young pastor a hard time for trying to start a congregation of like-minded people, how about giving a hand to someone seeking a way to create a new community with the benet of the larger community in mind. Specic religion aside, this is exactly the type of organization to which the district should be renting out its facilities, particularly when the district is looking to nd money where it can to better educate its students. Besides, isnt a school grounds a common area for the city? It is also a fairly inexpensive way to form a new community without dedicating funds to a private location or permanent structure. I could see an issue if the group wanted to come on campus during school hours, but this is clearly on a Sunday, when students, as far as I can tell, make a point to stay away from the school whenever possible. I do appreciate it when letter writers call out government agencies for discrepancies or inconsistencies, but these two letter writers seemed to miss the mark especially using the auspices of religious teaching as their point (We are printing their letters to the left of this column for you to see for yourselves. Maybe you agree with them, maybe you agree with me). We seem to sometimes get a bit touchy when it comes to religion, but there should also be some semblance of acceptance of others even if their afliation and belief system differs from ours and what they are doing is perfectly legal and acceptable.

Wall Street
Treasury prices rose from their lowest levels this year because of uncertainty about whether Greece will reach a deal with its creditors. That drew money back into safer investments. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 2.06 percent from 2.07 percent Tuesday. The lower yield indicates investors are willing to accept a lower return in exchange for security. In Europe, Greeces stock market index fell 5.5 percent. Stocks fell less than 1 percent in Germany, France and Spain and ended slightly higher in Italy. A deal between the Greek government and the banks that hold Greek national bonds is considered crucial to the stability of the European nancial system. Investors fear that if Greece cant pay its debt, it could trigger a panic. Theres a lot of apprehension about the unknowns, said Brian Gendreau, market strategist for El Segundo, Calif.-based Cetera Financial Group. Its not what people think they know about Europe. Its what they worry they dont know. Greece is trying to get its creditors to swap Greek government bonds for new ones that have half the face value. But agreeing on a new interest rate has been a stumbling block. Greece faces an important bond repayment deadline in March.

Apple doubles iPhone sales in 1Q

By Peter Svensson
NEW YORK After uncharacteristically tepid sales in the July-toSeptember quarter, Apple came back with a vengeance in the last three months of 2011, vastly exceeding analyst estimates and setting new records. Apple Inc. on Tuesday said it sold 37 million iPhones in the quarter, double the gure of the previous quarter and more than twice as many as it sold in the holiday quarter of 2010. The result may make Apple the worlds largest maker of smartphones. Samsung Electronics, which held that position last summer, has said it expects to report shipping about 35 million smartphones in the October to December quarter. October saw the launch of the iPhone 4S, and the addition of Sprint Nextel Corp. as an iPhone carrier in the U.S.
Apple said net income in the scal first quarter was $13.06 billion, or $13.87 per share. That was up 118 percent from $6 billion, or $6.43 per share, a year ago. Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting earnings of $10.04 per share for the latest quarter, Apples scal rst. Revenue was $46.33 billion, up 73 percent from a year ago. Analysts were expecting $38.9 billion. The Cupertino company shipped 15.4 million iPads in the quarter, again more than doubling sales over the same quarter last year. The November launch of Amazon.com Inc.s $199 Kindle Fire tablet didnt appear to put a dent in the iPads sales, as some analysts predicted it would. Apple shares rose $33.03, or 7.9 percent, to $453.53 in extended trading, after the release of the results. Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer said the company expects earnings of $8.50 per share in the current
quarter, and sales of $32.5 billion. Both gures are above the average estimate of analysts polled by FactSet, even though Apple usually low-balls its estimates. Apple ended the quarter with a cash balance of a staggering $97.6 billion. Thats more than enough to buy Citigroup Inc. outright, or issue a special dividend of $100 per Apple share. For years, investors have been frustrated with Apples unwillingness to put the cash to use, but complaints have been muted as Apple continues to generate record-breaking results and as the stock price keeps rising. Apple executives have said the cash hoard gives the company exibility to make acquisitions and long-term supply deals. If the stock rally in extended trading survives into regular trading Wednesday, Apple will retake the position of most valuable company in the world from Exxon Mobil Corp. Apple rst unseated Exxon last summer, and the two have been trading places since then.
Yahoo delivers another listless performance in 4Q

SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo slipped further behind in the online advertising race during the fourth quarter as the Internet company entered the fourth year of a revenue slump. The results announced Tuesday marked the latest in a succession of disappointing performances. The persisting malaise led to the ring of Carol Bartz as CEO four months ago. Yahoo Inc. recently replaced Bartz with PayPal executive Scott Thompson, anointing him as the fourth CEO in less
than ve years to try to snap the company out of a funk that has depressed its stock. Thompson, who was hired just three weeks ago, promised to move quickly to x the problems. There is no question we need to do better and we will, Thompson assured analysts in a Tuesday conference call. The company earned $296 million, or 24 cents per share, in the October-toDecember period. That is down 5 percent from $312 million, or 24 cents per share, a year earlier. The earnings matched analysts estimates, but the company missed Wall Streets revenue target.
Fourth-quarter revenue dropped 13 percent from the previous year to $1.32 billion. After subtracting advertising commissions, Yahoos revenue totaled $1.17 billion, or $20 million below analyst projections. Its the 13th straight quarter that Yahoos net revenue has declined from the prior year. Although Thompson said it was still too early to share precise details about his turnaround strategy, he said he will close some Yahoo services. That could mean layoffs among Yahoos workforce. The company added 300 employees in the fourth quarter to end the year with 14,000 workers.

Although the community college basketball season still has about three weeks left in the regular season, the calendar slows for no sport. The College of San Mateo softball team yes, softball kicks off the 2012 season at noon Saturday against Yuba College at Foothill. The Bulldogs will begin their quest to win the first outright Coast Conference championship for coach Nicole Borg, who enters her seventh at the Bulldogs helm.
Borg has put together an impressive record since taking over the CSM program, nishing with two co-championships and four secondplace finishes in the Coast Conference. Borg doesnt see it that way. Second place is the worst place to be, Borg. None of those runner-up nishes hurt more than last years, when the Bulldogs lost a 1-0 decision in the bottom of the seventh inning against nemesis Ohlone in the nal game of the regular season. This years squad returns four
members from the 2011 team and added an inux of top local talent that has Borg and her coaching staff believing this years squad will, once again, be in the mix for the conference title. I think the talent level is the best since Ive been here, Borg said. The big question for the Bulldogs this season is pitching. Alyssa Jepsen, who started 31 games last season, took her 14-9, 2.35 ERA to Santa Clara University, leaving a gaping hole in the pitchers circle. Borg hope to ll that with a number

Mills slows Hillsdales roll Manu helps

Athlete of the Week
The rst half of the 2012 Peninsula Athletic League girls soccer regular season is now in the books. And in the Ocean Division, Mills wanted to take their Tuesday matchup against table-leading Hillsdale to sent a statement: dont count out the young Vikings out of the championship conversation just yet. It was a big game coming in, said Mills head coach Caroline Tiziani. There are some teams that are all battling for the same thing. Hillsdale is one of those teams that we knew would be a battle. In the bigger picture, the game meant more to the Vikings, and they played like it. For 80 minutes, the teams exchanged offensive spurts, but on this Tuesday, the defenses were the stars thus the game ended in a nil-nil tie. The draw was the rst non-victory for the Knights in league play. At 6-0-1, Hillsdale holds a one-point advantage over Sequoia and six-point cushion over Mills, albeit with one game to give on the schedule. We got out-played, said a less-thanthrilled Hillsdale head coach Samia Shoman, so I guess coming out with a point is better than no points. I think it was us. I mean, take no credit away from Mills, they played great, all around I felt they played really well. But I think it was more we couldnt execute. Coming it, it was clear goals would be scarce considering the pair of defenses on the pitch. Hillsdale has been garnering the majority of the attention, but quietly, the Mills defense has been solid, coming off a twogame stretch where theyve outscored their opponents 9-0. Tuesdays draw was the Vikings third-straight clean sheet. I wasnt too worried about stopping them, Tiziani said. We got that under control. My concern was creating scoring opportunities and it was utilizing our wings and outside backs. I think we did a much better job of it today. We created a lot of chances on goal. Now, its just a matter of crossing our Ts and dotting the Is and putting it in the back of the net.

Learning to drive is a rite of passage for every teen. Through weeks of preparation, there comes a time when your mom, dad or guardian tosses you the keys to the ride and says, buckle up and dont crash it. Aragon sophomore point guard Alex Manu found himself in a similar situation this season when his father, head coach Sam Manu, entrusted him with the Dons basketball-mobile going into a season full of question marks. Hes crashed it a few times, laughed San Manu, but thats what you expect. I told the kids, theyre young and Im going to be patient with them and Im going to allow those mistakes. Alex Manu hasnt made very many mistakes and has taken to maneuvering the Dons up and down the basketball court with the savvy of a varsity veteran. With the sophomore at the helm, Aragon nds itself at 4-0 in the Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division all alone in rst place. Were just a young team and were kind of growing into each other, Sam Manu said. And I think thats been the key for us and just nding out what works for us both offensively and defensively. Thats been the journey for us through the preseason so its just starting to show for us now in the middle of the season. Its coming together for us. Last week, Alex Manu put together quite the two-game stretch. Against division-favorite Half Moon Bay, the point guard scored nine points, dished out eight assists and collected seven rebounds. He followed that performance with a 16-point night against Menlo-Atherton. He added ve and ve against the Bears both times, the Dons walked away with wins.

SAN FRANCISCO Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants reached a verbal agreement Tuesday on a two-year contract worth $40.5 million. The deal includes a $500,000 signing bonus and salaries of $18 million this year and $22

million in 2013, a person familiar with the agreement said Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the terms were not announced. Lincecum still must take a physical, which the Giants hope will happen early next week to complete the deal.
Lincecum had asked for a near-record $21.5 million in salary arbitration and had been offered $17 million by the club. He remains eligible for free agency following the 2013 season. The 27-year-old right-hander, the winning pitcher in the Game 5 World Series clincher at Texas in 2010, earned $13.1 million last season when he nished a two-year deal worth $23.2 million. When the sides exchanged numbers last
Tuesday, Lincecums request neared the record amount sought in arbitration. Houston pitcher Roger Clemens asked for $22 million in 2005. San Franciscos offer was the highest in arbitration history, topping the $14.25 million the New York Yankees proposed for shortstop Derek Jeter in 2001. As Giants vice president Bobby Evans

CSM out to prove last time wasnt a fluke

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The College of San Mateo womens basketball team wrapped up the rst half of Coast Conference-North play with a 63-55 win over rival Skyline Friday night. The win kept the Bulldogs a half game ahead of both Foothill and City College of Francisco for rst place in the standings. The Bulldogs kick off the second half of conference play Friday, when they host San Francisco at 5:30 p.m. City College advanced to the state championship game last season and lost to CSM, 63-56, Jan. 4. Right now we have a target on our back, said CSM center Sarah Balling.
The one thing working in the Bulldogs favor is they have a bye tonight, giving them a week to focus and prepare for the Rams. Its never a cakewalk in our conference, said CSM coach Michelle Warner. I like to have four days to prepare, instead of one or two. CSM (4-1 Coast Conference, 14-8 overall) are 6-3 in its last nine games and have won two in a row. Against Skyline, the Bulldogs went nearly ve minutes without scoring to start the game, falling behind 8-0 in the process. A Kimmie Fung 3-pointer nally broke the seal and jump-started a 19-3 run that saw the Bulldogs take a 21-13 lead. Nicole McDonald led the Bulldogs with 13 points, three steals and two assists. Fung nished with 12 points, while
freshman Churel Kanongataa had her best game of the season, scoring nine points and grabbing 10 rebounds. We know (teams) arent going to hand it (wins) to us, McDonald said. Teams are looking to beat us. The Bulldogs can thank its bench for pulling out Fridays win. Warner said the starting ve shot a miserable 25 percent from the eld, but they were buoyed by a bench that shot 48 percent from the eld. Our bench is really developing and stepping up, Warner said. CSM will need all hands on deck against San Francisco. Despite beating the Rams the rst time around, the Bulldogs know that doesnt mean a whole lot going into Fridays showdown. If they have learned nothing else
this season, they know they have to play their game and play it effectively to win. I think this year were really good on focusing on the job at hand, McDonald said. Added point guard Vanessa Castillo: Now, [San Francisco] wants (to beat us) even more. We know weve done it once, we know we can do it again. The Bulldogs go into Fridays game averaging 64 points per game in conference play, compared to 62 for the Rams. Defensively, the Bulldogs are second in the conference in points allowed at 61 behind San Franciscos 53. We need to go out and show them we deserved that win (last time), Balling said.
As sign Colon
Raiders hire Denver coordinator

OAKLAND The Oakland Athletics and free agent righthander Bartolo Colon have agreed to terms on a one-year contract, bolstering their depleted starting rotation. The team made the announcement Tuesday. The sides had an agreement last week pending a physical. The 38-year-old Colon, a former As nemesis during his fouryear stint with the AL West rival Angels from 2004-07, went 8-10 with a 4.00 ERA in 29 appearances and 26 starts last year for the New York Yankees in his 14th big league season. He won the 2005 AL Cy Young Award. Last month, the As traded away starter Trevor Cahill to Arizona and All-Star lefty Gio Gonzalez to the Nationals. Oakland also sent All-Star closer Andrew Bailey to the Red Sox on Dec. 28. On Jan. 16, the As acquired Bartolo Colon outelder Seth Smith from Colorado in a swap that sent right-hander Guillermo Moscoso and left-hander Josh Outman to the Rockies. They were two other potential starters. When healthy, the hard-throwing Colon has been impressive at Oakland Coliseum where he will now pitch regularly. He is 5-1 with a 2.14 ERA and an opposing batting average of .179 in seven appearances in the As aging ballpark. Colon will join a rotation featuring Brett Anderson and Brandon McCarthy. Left-hander Dallas Braden, who pitched a perfect game on May 9, 2010, against Tampa Bay, is recovering from surgery on his pitching shoulder and its unclear when he will be ready in 2012.
The Oakland Raiders reportedly agreed Tuesday to hire Denver defensive coordinator Dennis Allen as their new head coach, breaking a more than threedecade stretch of offensive-minded head coaches for the franchise. The hiring was rst reported by Fox Sports and ESPN, with both outlets saying nal details were still being worked out Tuesday night. The Raiders had no immediate comment on the reports. New general manager Reggie McKenzie decided on his new coach exactly two weeks after he was hired. He immediately red Hue Jackson, who went 8-8 in his only season as coach, and began the search.
McKenzie interviewed Philadelphia offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, former Miami interim coach Todd Bowles, New Orleans offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. and Green Bay assistants Winston Moss and Dom Capers. With McKenzie having spent almost two decades with the Packers, his former colleagues in Green Bay were originally considered to be the favorites. But instead he went with the 39-year-old Allen, coming off his rst season in the NFL as a coordinator. Allen had his second interview with McKenzie on Tuesday at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. Allen will be the rst new Raiders
coach to come from the defensive side of the ball since late owner Al Davis hired linebackers coach John Madden before the 1969 season. Madden won 103 games in 10 seasons and won Oaklands rst Super Bowl following the 1976 season. After Madden retired, Davis exclusively hired offensive coaches: Tom Flores, Mike Shanahan, Art Shell, Mike White, Joe Bugel, Jon Gruden, Bill Callahan, Norv Turner, Shell again, Lane Kifn, Tom Cable and Jackson. Allen will be Oaklands seventh coach since the 2003 season in his rst head coaching job at any level. The Raiders have not had a winning record or made the playoffs since Callahan took them to the Super Bowl following the 2002 season.

sophomore, Sam Manu said. I didnt expect him to be that consistent all the tournaments, the preseason and going into the regular season his shot percentage has been better than other players. Hes just been a consistent shooter and player. I thought hed go through more highs than lows but, as a point guard, hes been consistent in the area of contribution not only in giving the ball out, but making sure were in a game when we need his scoring. Alex Manu has taken to his new responsibility very well. And in no way shape or form has it been a hes the coachs son kind of deal. After spending time with several of the players at the middle school and AAU levels, Alexs skill and leadership naturally positioned him at the 1.

DETROIT Free agent rst baseman Prince Fielder and the Detroit Tigers agreed Tuesday on a nineyear, $214 million contract that lls the AL Central champions need for a power hitter, a person familiar with the deal said. CBS rst reported the agreement. The person told the Associated Press that the deal was subject to a physical. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract was not yet complete. Detroit boldly stepped up in the Fielder sweepstakes after the recent knee injury to star Prince Fielder Victor Martinez. A week ago, the Tigers announced that the productive designated hitter could miss the entire season after tearing his left ACL during offseason conditioning. The Tigers won their division by 15 games before losing in the AL championship series to Texas. Adding the 27-year-old Fielder gives the Tigers two of the games premier sluggers, pairing him with Miguel Cabrera. With Fielder now in the fold, general manager Dave Dombrowski and owner Mike Ilitch have a team that gures to enter the 2012 season as a favorite to repeat in the division
with an eye on winning the franchises rst World Series since 1984. Everyone knew Mr. Ilitch and Mr. Dombrowski were going to make a move when Victor went down, outelder Brennan Boesch said in a phone interview with the AP. But I dont think anybody thought it would be this big. The move also keeps Fielders name in the Tigers family. His father, Cecil, became a big league star when he returned to the majors from Japan and hit 51 home runs with Detroit in 1990. Cecil played with the Tigers into the 1996 season, and young Prince made a name for himself by hitting prodigious home runs in batting practice at Tiger Stadium. A few years ago, when Prince returned to Detroit as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers, Tigers Hall of Famer Al Kaline recalled that power show. You cant ever say that you look at a kid that age and say that you know hes going to hit 40 or 50 home runs someday, but Prince was unbelievable, Kaline said then. Heres a 12year-old kid commonly hitting homers at a big league ballpark. With Cabrera and Fielder, Detroit will begin this season with two players under age 30 with at least 200 career homers. According to STATS LLC, thats happened only once before. At the start of the 1961 season, the Milwaukee Braves featured 29-year-old Eddie Mathews (338 homers) and 27-year-old Hank Aaron (219).

Navarro is going to have an impact for us, Borg said, adding she went 7 for 7 in fall ball games against San Francisco State University. She is a raw talent. They all mesh really well together. Katie Tam (freshman, Lowell-SF) and freshman Mikayla Conlin, out of Southern California power Mater Dei, round out the roster. As usual, Borg and the Bulldogs are setting high goals and, considering the level of talent, they shouldnt be far fetched. The rst is to capture that elusive conference title by themselves.

expected, they found common ground around the midpoint of the gures and did so in only a week. San Franciscos front ofce had hoped to lock up Lincecum and fellow starter Matt Cain with long-term deals, though Lincecum seemed set on keeping his options open in the near future on a shorter contract. A call to the pitcher was not immediately returned and his agent declined to comment. With Lincecum earning a hefty contract, Evans joked last week, I usually leave off the nal three zeroes because its easier to calculate. In February 2010, Lincecum agreed to a $23 million, two-year contract ahead of the scheduled hearing. He had been set at that time to ask for $13 million.

of candidates this season all freshmen. Ashley Miller (Woodside), Michele Pilster (Capuchino), Jenn Davidson (Carlmont) and Amelia Shales (Notre Dame-Belmont) will all get their chance during the preseason to show what they can do. Borg anticipates any number of the four getting the call, depending on the opponent and the matchup. Ashley, Jenn and Michele split time in fall ball, Borg said, adding Shales did not come out for the team until after the fall-ball season. The nice thing is, we dont have to run one pitcher into the ground. There are so many preseason games, theyll have a chance to show what they can do. I dont plan on just riding one pitcher all year. I think there will be one or two who stand out above the rest (by the time conference play rolls around).
While the starting pitching may still be up in the air, the offense should hit the ground running. Lindsay Handy (sophomore, Hillsdale) and Annabel Hertz (sophomore, Lincoln-SF) are the only returning full-time starters. The other two sophomore returners Vika Kafoa (Capuchino) and Mary Ganal (Lincoln-SF) saw plenty of action last season. I hope Vika plays a much bigger role this year. She had a great fall, Borg said. Handy is the Bulldogs best returning hitter. After a standout career at Hillsdale, she had little dropoff in her rst year at the college level, hitting .378 with 14 doubles, three home runs and 26 runs batted in. She is the strongest player coming back, Borg said. She had a great freshman year. Im looking forward to see what she can do this year. The Bulldogs also landed some of the top talent from the Peninsula in this years freshmen class, including Jamie Navarro (Capuchino) and Kaylin Stewart (Hillsdale).

Roger Federer did his part to put this in place. In the previous match on Rod Laver Arena, he beat 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 in a quarternal marking his 1,000th tour-level match. A Federer-Nadal seminal had been loomplished that for the most part. We have a certain style of play that we like, Shoman said. Its obviously more conducive to a turf eld. Although you can never use the pitch as an excuse. So, we just had to go in and be able to possess and play our game. When we get knocked off that, we seem to get knocked out of our element.

No. 12 collected the pass and made her way into the penalty area. But her shot was saved by Katelyn Warren to preserve the draw for the Vikings. She did a really good job today, Tiziani said. Shes a tough kid. Shes really come on. She started here at Mills and shes learned everything she knows about keeping from us. I think its great for her condence to get a draw against Hillsdale and also have some pressure on her to come out with a shutout. I think for condence its good. For us to draw 0-0 with them gives us the condence that were up there in the mix and were going to give a good push for it.

Nadal, Federer to meet in Australian Open semis

Sports brief
Posada retires after 17 seasons with Yankees
NEW YORK Flanked by his wife and children, with ve World Series trophies sitting on a table to his right, Jorge Posada announced his retirement. The ve-time All-Star catcher is ending his major league career after 17 seasons, all with the New York Yankees. The 40-year-old Posada nishes with a .273 career batting average, 275 home runs and 1,065 RBIs. Shifted Jorge Posada to designated hitter last year, his playing time diminished. Posada joins Bernie Williams and Andy Pettitte in retirement, leaving only 37-year-old Derek Jeter and 42-year-old Mariano Rivera from the core group that led the Yankees to four World Series titles in ve years from 1996-2000. With Rivera and CC Sabathia looking on, Posada began by quoting Joe DiMaggio: I want to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee.
MELBOURNE, Australia The intensity was vintage Rafael Nadal. On the stroke of midnight, he thrust his arms up and punched the air, sealing the victory that sets up the most anticipated seminal at the Australian Open in quite some time.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. They stood outside for hours on a winter afternoon, waiting to pay their respects to the late Joe Paterno. The line snaked down a long block on the Penn State campus. Inside a campus spiritual center, the coachs body lay in a closed, hardwood casket topped by a spray of white roses. About six feet away sat a stylized black-and-white picture of the man who became lovingly known on campus as JoePa, smiling and peering out through his trademark thickrimmed glasses. Three days of public mourning Joe Paterno began Tuesday for a Penn State community already racked by months of turmoil. The 85-year-old Paterno a Hall of Fame coach and the face of the university died Sunday of lung cancer. He had been ousted just days before learning of his diagnosis in November, forced out of his job in the wake of child sex-abuse charges against a former assistant. Were not going to focus on the bad, were going to pull together and focus on the good, said Brittany Yingling, 23, of Altoona, donning a blue Penn State knit cap with Paterno in bold white letters emblazoned on the front. Hes going to leave a lasting legacy on so many people.

Food Network,book take on weight in chef whites

NEW YORK Paula Deens diabetes revelation pretty much sums it up: Kitchen pros at all levels struggle with obesity and its dangerous aftertaste in the high-pressure, highcalorie world of food. The queen of Southern comfort cooking, now a spokeswoman for a diabetes drugmakers health initiative, announced last week that she hid her Type 2 diabetes for about three years while continuing to cook up deep-fried cheesecake and baconand-egg burgers between doughnuts on TV. Choosing to digest her ill health privately all those years, Deens story is familiar to those in chefs jackets who already had gone public with the question few in their world love to talk about: How do you stay healthy while trying to earn a living making food? On Thursday, a dozen obese chefs, restaurant owners, caterers and others will search for the answer. Thats when the Food Network premieres Fat Chef, which follows participants for 16 weeks as they struggle to lose weight and learn a healthier way of life with the help of trainers, nutritionists and therapists. You have this abundance of food all around you, said pastry chef Michael Mignano, whos one of the dozen. Youre doing parties, you have weddings. Theres always a lot of food left over. Youre constantly tasting, working late hours, eating late. Mignano, 36, owns a bakery in Port Washington, N.Y. At 6 foot 2, he weighed about 500 pounds soon after he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2010, before Fat Chef went into production last October. His resolve to do something about his weight grew stronger as the result of a different Food Network show on which he appeared in September, Sweet Genius. I wasnt nervous about that show, but I was nervous about whether the jacket would t me, said Mignano, who now weighs about 400 pounds and has a long road ahead to reach his goal weight of 250. Watching myself on that show, I was

Obama embraced her. Lawmakers leapt to their feet when Obama said near the start of his speech that terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, killed by a raid authorized by the president, will no longer threaten America. At the core of Obamas address was the improving but deeply wounded economy the matter still driving Americans anxiety and the one likely to determine the next presidency. The state of our union is getting stronger, Obama said, calibrating his words as millions remain unemployed. Implicit in his declaration that the American dream is within our reach was the recognition that, after three years of an Obama presidency, the country is not there yet. He spoke of restoring basic goals: owning a home, earning enough to raise a family, putting a little money away for retirement. We can do this, Obama said. I know we can. He said Americans are convinced that Washington is broken, but he also said it wasnt too late to cooperate on important matters. Republicans were not impressed. They applauded infrequently, though they did cheer when the president quoted Republican Abraham Lincoln as saying: That government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves and no more. Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, offering the formal GOP response, called Obamas policies pro-poverty and his tactics divisive. No feature of the Obama presidency has Obama did announce a plan to attack the crisis last night but gave few details on how his administration would do it. He mentioned taking advantage of historically-low nance rates but I have to see what the details of the plans are, Eshoo said. Speier said the presidents effort to address the foreclosure crisis has been lackluster at best up until now. Obama should have been tougher with the banks, Speier said. The president said last night his administration will start a Veterans Job Corps to help put soldiers coming back from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan into good-paying jobs. Speier supports the idea but it is something, however, the country should have done a long time ago, she said. hasnt been easy for Mignano and others in similar unhealthy dire straits. As chefs, the constant food stimulation by sight, smell and taste was compounded by personal struggles and family obligations. Art Smith, who doesnt appear on the show, is a child of fried chicken and other Southern staples like his old pal Deen. Like Deen, he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about three years ago. been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry favor with some Americans by castigating others, Daniels said after the presidents address. In a signature swipe at the nations growing income gap, Obama called for a new minimum tax rate of at least 30 percent on anyone making over $1 million. Many millionaires including one of his chief rivals, Republican Mitt Romney pay a rate less than that because they get most of their income from investments, which are taxed at a lower rate. Now you can call this class warfare all you want, Obama said, responding to a frequent criticism from the GOP presidential eld. But asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes? Most Americans would call that common sense. Obama calls this the Buffett rule, named for billionaire Warren Buffett, who has said its unfair that his secretary pays a higher tax rate than he does. Emphasizing the point, Buffetts secretary, Debbie Bosanek, attended the address in rst lady Michelle Obamas box. Obama underlined every proposal with the idea that hard work and responsibility still count. He was targeting independent voters who helped seal his election in 2008 and the frustrated masses in a nation pessimistic about its course. In a flag-waving defense of American power and inuence abroad, Obama said the U.S. will safeguard its own security against those who threaten our citizens, our friends and our interests. On Iran, he said that while We have not treated veterans all that well historically. Veterans are coming home now in extraordinary numbers with no jobs, Speier said. Before Obama gave his State of the Union address last night, top Republicans had already put out a response. Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, offering the formal GOP response, said, no feature of the Obama presidency has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry favor with some Americans by castigating others. With Republicans looking to unseat Obama in the November election, the climate in Washington has been hostile, Speier said.

all options are on the table to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon an implied threat to use military force a peaceful resolution of this issue is still possible. With Congress almost universally held in low regard, Obama went after an easy target in calling for reforms to keep legislators from engaging in insider trading and holding them to the same conict-of-interest standards as those that apply to the executive branch. With the foreclosure crisis on ongoing sore spot despite a number of administration housing initiatives over the past three years, Obama proposed a new program to allow homeowners with privately held mortgages to refinance at lower interest rates. Administration ofcials offered few details but estimated savings at $3,000 a year for average borrowers. Obama proposed steps to crack down on fraud in the nancial sector and mortgage industry, with a Financial Crimes Unit to monitor bankers and nancial service professionals, and a separate special unit of federal prosecutors and state attorneys general to expand investigations into abusive lending that led to the housing crisis. At a time of tight federal budgets and heavy national debt, Obama found a ready source of money to nance his ideas: He proposed to devote half of the money no longer being spent on the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan to do some nation-building right here at home, to help create more jobs and increase competitiveness. the two parties working together. We have to stop throwing sand. The Daily Journal had scheduled to speak with U.S. Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Sacramento, last night to get a Republican viewpoint on the presidents speech but Lungren became too busy to call the paper. In a video response from his Washington, D.C. ofce last night, Lungren did say the president was wrong in saying the economy is on the right track and also was critical of Obama for not addressing the size of the nations $15.2 trillion decit. The average American citizen has a lot of fear and anger related to the economy and government actions, Lungren said, and Obama did little to quell the fear. TV personality has kept the weight off. Smith has run marathons, eats oatmeal and egg whites for breakfast, drinks plenty of water and has expanded Common Threads, his healthy eating initiative for low-income kids. He declares: Ive got my sexy back! Obviously not all chefs struggle with obesity and serious health threats like diabetes, but most do think about weight and how to hold back the extra pounds.
OBAMA
fronting him in Congress and ghting to take his job in the November election. He pleaded for an active government that ensures economic fairness for everyone, just as his opponents demand that the government back off and let the free market rule. Obama offered steps to help students afford college, a plan for more struggling homeowners to renance their homes and tax cuts for manufacturers. He threw in politically appealing references to accountability, including warning universities they will lose federal aid if they dont stop tuition from soaring. Standing in front of a divided Congress, with bleak hope this election year for much of his legislative agenda, Obama spoke with voters in mind. We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by, Obama said. Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules. A rare wave of unity splashed over the House chamber at the start. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, survivor of an assassination attempt one year ago, received sustained applause from her peers and cheers of Gabby, Gabby, Gabby. She blew a kiss to the podium.
REACTION
But the presidents speech left both lawmakers wanting just a little bit more despite its inspirational tone. Obama did not make a single mention of campaign nance reform in last nights State of the Union, something Eshoo wanted to hear. The problem is huge with unlimited and secret money fueling campaigns. It is sickening, Eshoo said. Both Eshoo and Speier have also been critical of the presidents handling of the foreclosure crisis.

Sesame oil:What it is and how to use it

aybe its time to look beyond claims of virginity in the oil aisle. Because you see, our 20-year love affair with olive oil has had fallout. Weve forgotten that theres a whole world of oils that dont come from the olive tree. And they can do a heck of a lot more than just saute and make a fine dressing. OK, maybe we didnt forget. Maybe we didnt know about them at all. Its not as though prior to the EVOO revolution we were all swilling avocado and grape seed oils. But olive oil has done a fine job of elbowing out other up-and-comers. Sesame, for instance. You may never have bought it, but chances are youve had it. Its what gives many Asian dishes a nutty, savory, richly aromatic flavor. Most sesame oil is made by pressing roasted sesame seeds. The oil tastes deeply nutty, almost smoky, and pairs well with anything salty. There are cold-pressed varieties, but skip them; while fine for frying, the flavor is unimpressive. A high smoke point (420F) means this amber colored oil can handle the heat of the fry pan. But its flavor shines brightest when used raw. Which means that getting the deepest, richest sesame flavor will mean using a bit of the oil in the pan to saute, then driz-
zling a bit more over the finished dish. When shopping for sesame oil (sometimes labeled toasted sesame oil and often hidden in the Asian or International aisle), the darker the color, the richer the flavor. And while loads of antioxidants give sesame oil a long shelf life, refrigerating it will make it last even longer. What to do with it? Its obviously a natural for stir-fry (remember to drizzle a bit more on the finished dish for best flavor) and makes killer marinades for steak. For more ideas for using sesame oil, check out the Off the Beaten Aisle column over on Food Network: http://bit.ly/wp2mDN

identied critical issues that must be addressed by the High-Speed Rail Authority, and the authority should be prepared to present their responses to the Legislature, Gordon wrote the Daily Journal in an email. In 2008, when voters approved Proposition 1A to fund the project, cost estimates for the statewide project that will link San Francisco with Los Angeles was only about $36 billion but that number has since ballooned to about $98 billion in the authoritys latest draft business plan. The state auditors report indicated the cost of the project is now approaching $118 billion yet the rail authority has only secured about $12.5 billion for the project to date. In 2010, the state auditor reported that the rail authority suffered from inadequate planning, weak oversight and lax contract management. Yesterdays report mirrored the 2010 report in many aspects including the rail authority inappropriately splitting a $3.1 million information technology services contract into 13 different contracts with just one vendor. Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, said he was troubled by the audits ndings regarding vendor contracts but is encouraged by new board leadership to guide the project into the future. The project faces a number of challenges, Hill said, including legal ones. Chu, no matter how eeting the thought, spells the difference between rst and second degree murder. The jury found the choking attack of Lynch a second-degree offense meaning it felt the attempted murder was not premeditated. During the trial, McDougall took the unusual move of resting without presenting opening statements or calling any witnesses. During his closing arguments, McDougall said the defense did not dispute the shooting and attack but said Giannini did not meet his burden of proof. Among the evidence the jury weighed was a buildings surveillance camera that captured a drunken Najdawi stumbling down a street after a night of drinking with Chu and less than 20 minutes before the pair drove to Millbrae where the shooting occurred. The footage showed Najdawi waving a Glock at passing cars, leading Giannini to tell jurors several times that he had a state of mind to kill somebody that night even if it wasnt Chu. Chu, 27, and Najdawi drank heavily on July 7 leading into July 8 at two San Francisco bars where Najdawi paid the tab with his brothers stolen credit card. Chus blood alcohol level after death was pinpointed at .21 and Najdawi, the defense conceded, was far more intoxicated. A friend testied Najdawi had a rearm with him that he often carried and talked about shooting another acquaintance. consumer recycled materials. Thicker reusable plastic bags are allowed but would also need to be imprinted showing the bag is made of at least 40 percent post-consumer recycled materials, Public Works Director Popp wrote. Ford said the Millbrae Chamber of Commerce isnt opposed to the goal of reducing the number of single-use bags and promoting reusable bags. However, it had concerns about economic disadvantages, nancial impacts for possibly needing to redesign checkout stands and additional work to tally the number of bags sold. Councilwoman Nadia Holober didnt believe the ordinance would be that intrusive. Papan agreed, asking staff to check in on that to be sure it doesnt create too many problems for the businesses. If it does, those issues could be revisited, she said. Millbraes proposal isnt an outright ban as there are exceptions to the rule. A variety of businesses would be exempt from the ban such as food vendors, dry cleaners and nonprot organizations. Some types of bags like bakery item bags; meat and produce bags; pharmaceutical bags; at greeting card bags; dry cleaning bags; and bags that hold live plants or small hardware items would be exempt, Popp wrote. There I have condence in the board though to rise above this, he said. The rail authority projects securing private sector investments over four years beginning in 2023, according to the auditors report. What the rail authority failed to submit in its latest draft business plan, however, is that private sector investors will receive all of the programs net operating prots from 2024 to 2060 in return for their investment. The plan lacks key details regarding costs and revenues which compromises the authoritys transparency, according to the report. In response to the report, the rail authority issued the following statement: We appreciate the work the Bureau of State Audits has done. The audit shows certain deciencies at the CHSRA, including some that were identied in the previous report. While we have some disagreements on particulars, we acknowledge the information in the report and we will comply. As a matter of fact, we would like the State Auditors Ofce to review the situation in 90 days and at that time we will be in full compliance. Meanwhile, the states Legislative Analysts Ofce reported that the No Train Please Act will save the state about $650 million annually in debt service savings if it is approved. It will also cost the state $3.3 billion in one-time federal funds which could impact the states economy, according to the LAO. Once the pair left San Francisco, they drove in Chus car to Lincoln Circle in Millbrae where shots were red and Najdawi drove the vehicle to the intersection of Chula Vista and Sanchez avenues in Burlingame. Najdawi headed to his mothers nearby home, leaving his friend to rot in the sun while his family searched desperately for their only child, Giannini said during closing arguments. Najdawi reportedly lied to his mother, had an altercation with his brother and ed to Redding where he ditched the Glock and was apprehended at a motel a week later. Chus body went undiscovered for two days, as passersby mistook the slumped man for somebody sleeping or passed out. Police never recovered the gun used in the shooting but matched casings to two test casings found in the weapons box that still bore the serial number. After his arrest, Najdawis charges grew after the attack on Lynch but in May 2009 he was found incompetent for trial. A grand jury indicted him during his absence. Najdawi was painted during trial as someone who by turns thought he was a bounty hunter or the target of Korean gangs. Giannini told jurors not to consider Najdawis mental state or if alcohol and drugs played a role because sanity was a separate decision. Najdawi remains in custody without bail. is also an option for a business to apply for an exemption which would be given at staff discretion. Holober expressed concerns about giving one business an opportunity to be exempted while its competition meets the rules. There was also discussion about whether exemption requests should go to council, but that change wasnt made. If a business doesnt follow the new rule it would face an infraction ne ranging from $100 to $500. The highest fee would only occur if three infractions occurred within a year, said City Attorney Joan Cassman. At the same time, a county-wide ban has been discussed since last year. Ofcials from numerous Peninsula cities met last week to discuss enacting a law similar to San Joses ban. San Joses bag-ban law went into effect at the beginning of the year. It bans retailers from handing out single-use plastic bags. San Jose shoppers must bring reusable bags or buy paper bags for 10 cents each. The uniform law proposes nes from $100 to $500. Last year, South San Francisco passed a voluntary ban in hopes of encouraging businesses to opt for the greener version. In its ordinance, the city gave businesses the ability to charge 5 to 10 cents to cover the increased costs for recyclable bags.

es on the November ballot to maintain school and public safety funding, Harkey said yesterday the governor should not ignore the mountains of evidence piling up against the high-speed rail project. Unfortunately the information in ... (the) report is not new. Similar questions and concerns have been raised before by the auditor, the legislative analyst, legislators and staff. How many hundreds of pages must be generated before we pull the plug on this idea and begin using scarce state funds for real shovel-ready transportation jobs in our communities? Harkey wrote in a statement. State Auditor Elaine Howles ofce released a new report yesterday that takes a swipe at the authoritys long-term ridership projections and its overwhelming reliance on federal funds to complete the project. Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, said the rail authority should have some answers to questions raised in the audit and other recent reports critical of the project. The state audit has provided thoughtful analysis of issues related to high-speed rail. This report contained many similarities with the Peer Review Groups report, released just weeks ago. Both reports

sane based on doctor reports. At approximately 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, the jury, which began deliberating around noon the day before, found Najdawi guilty of rst-degree murder with the use of a gun, second-degree attempted murder and assault. After the verdict was read, the attorneys agreed to submit the sanity issue to Judge Mark Forcum on Thursday, Jan. 26 rather than launch another trial before the same verdict. Najdawi will be found sane based on the doctors conclusions, Giannini said. Defense attorney Jonathan McDougall could not be reached for comment. Najdawi has been evaluated by doctors several times since his arrest, particularly leading to the conclusion he was mentally unt for trial and after he pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity following his return from a state hospital. Why exactly Najdawi killed Chu is unknown. Giannini told jurors they neednt have an explanation to nd Najdawi guilty based on the evidence but McDougall argued that they needed to climb inside his clients head to decide if the death was really premeditated. The allegation that Najdawi planned to kill

businesses will be affected. On Tuesday night, the council held a public hearing and adopted a negative declaration of environmental impact. While many spoke in favor of the measure, John Ford, CEO of the Millbrae Chamber of Commerce, noted the board was against the rule change which would put local businesses at a disadvantage. But the council unanimously opted to move forward with the ordinance. If approved during a second reading, the rules would go into effect Sept. 1. Millbrae is taking a step forward here and I think its an important step, said Vice Mayor Gina Papan who added it was brought up years ago and put aside in hopes of the state creating a measure. This is going to be, probably at one point in time, very universal to all the cities. Under the current proposal, businesses would not be able to distribute single-use bags and free paper carryout bags, Popp wrote. Stores can charge a minimum of 10 cents per bag, should a customer need to purchase one. Those paper bags must be comprised of at least 40 percent post-

Even if this person is difficult for some to get along with, this may not hold true for you.

unaccustomed position well, both the accolades and rewards will be shared.

many virtues is an excellent organizational ability that youll have a chance to use today. Just be careful not to employ a heavy hand when giving orders.

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