Officials fine PG&E $16.8M

Utility punished for failing to conduct gas pipeline leak surveys
By Sara Gaiser
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The California Public Utilities Commission ned PG&E more than $16 million Friday for failing to conduct gas pipeline leak surveys on a stretch of pipeline in Contra Costa County. PG&E said it was surprised by
the $16.7 million ne, since the utility self-reported the problem to the state regulatory agency in December and has taken steps to survey the 14 miles of affected pipeline and repair the 22 leaks that were subsequently discovered on them. To receive a penalty this extreme for being open, transparent and
accountable is disappointing, said Nick Stavropoulos, PG&Es executive vice president of gas operations. In fact, members of the commission recently applauded the work our team did and the companys recognition of the employees who came forward. PG&E apparently failed to conduct regular leak surveys of the
affected pipelines because the utilitys maps were not updated to accurately reflect new construction. While some of the new construction occurred within the past ve years, in other places the violations date back to 1993, according to the CPUC citation. Because of the duration and seriousness of the violation and the
numerous opportunities PG&E had to nd these problems earlier, we concluded that a citation was warranted, said Michelle Cooke, interim director of the CPUCs Consumer Protection and Safety Division. Fridays citation is the rst under

SAN FRANCISCO Seeking to inuence other states and Washington, California air regulators passed sweeping auto emission standards Friday that include a mandate to have 1.4 million electric and hybrid vehicles on state roads by 2025. The California Air Resources Board unanimously approved the new rules that require that one in seven of the new cars sold in the state in 2025 be an electric or other zero-emission vehicle. The plan also mandates a 75 percent reduction in smogforming pollutants by 2025, and a 50 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from todays standards. Automakers worked with the board and federal regulators on the greenhouse gas mandates in an effort to create one national standard for those pollutants.

Only just a few weeks new, Five Guys Burgers and Fries is already a hit with visitors to Burlingames downtown retail district. The rst Peninsula location for the East Coast franchise, Five Guys sits on the newly developed real estate of Primrose Road and Howard Avenue sharing the same lot with the recently remodeled Safeway. It complements what we already have here in Burlingame, said Patricia Love,
economic development specialist for the city of Burlingame. Along with the opening of Five Guys, neighboring tenants will soon be including Pizza My Heart, Its a Grind Coffee House, Union Bank, Great Clips, Yogurtland and Which Wich Superior Sandwiches. Love believes that the addition of Five Guys, Burgers and Fries along with the other shops, will only add to the allure of downtown Burlingames abundance of eateries and retail shopping. Currently, Five Guys is the only new business open in the multi-use building.
The other businesses are scheduled to open their doors to the public within the next month and are expected to make the area of Primrose and Howard more vitalized and vibrant, Love said. In the meantime, Five Guys is enjoying the attention they are getting. Weve only been open for about [two weeks] and so far its been amazing, said Jeev Kumar, the restaurants general manager. Weve received a lot of great feedback. For Marco Pineda, a San Mateo resident, Five Guys hits the spot.

Paul McCartney (born 1942) owns the original sheet music of the song. *** The song Blue Moon was written by Rodgers & Hart in 1935.

Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for, You heard me sayin a prayer for, Someone I really could care for. The song will now be in your head all day. *** The childrens book Goodnight Moon (1947) is the story of a child wishing goodnight to all of his playthings.

According to investigators, Doherty is the owner of Doherty Painting & Construction, a painting contracting company that was awarded numerous public contracts with the city and county of San Francisco, San Francisco Unied School District and other public agencies. Contractors on public work projects are required to pay their workers the prevailing wage and report to the public agency on a weekly basis that the appropriate wage was paid. The investigation revealed Doherty allegedly reported on 23 different public projects that her employees had been paid the prevailing wages on each and every project, with some projects lasting several months. Through the investigation, it was determined that the Doherty Painting workers were only paid a fraction of the wages to which they were entitled. The investigation further revealed that Doherty allegedly provided fraudulent information to public agencies that were doing compliance audits in an effort to conceal the prevailing wage violations, according to the press release. Doherty also allegedly provided fraudulent employee payroll information to Redwood Fire & Casualty and Zurich Insurance companies from September 2006 through June 2009, which ultimately allowed her to pay lower workers compensation insurance premiums to these carriers, according to the press release. The estimated loss to Redwood Casualty & Fire and Zurich Insurance is approximately $108,000. The estimated total loss in insurance premiums and wages is approximately $700,000, according to the press release.

Ruling could expand Democratic majority

Romney,Gingrich focus on Hispanic voters in Florida Hundreds of prison employees laid off
By Steve Peoples and Brian Bakst
SACRAMENTO The California Supreme Court on Friday upheld a new political map drawn by the states independent redistricting commission in a ruling that gives Democrats their long-awaited opportunity to control two-thirds of a legislative chamber, the threshold needed to pass tax increases. The high court announced its unanimous decision that the Senate map drawn last year by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission should be used in the June primary and November general election, even though a Republican-backed referendum challenging the map is expected to qualify for the ballot. Republicans, who challenged the map in a fight to maintain their influence in the Legislature, were dealt a major blow: No party has controlled two-thirds of either the Senate or Assembly since voters passed
Proposition 13 in 1978 to raise the threshold for tax increases. Im not sure I could be more concerned, which is why I made the decision, over the objection of some people in this town, to pursue the referendum when it came to the Senate, California Republican Party Chairman Tom Del Beccaro said earlier this week. Republicans stand to lose critical seats to Democrats under the Senate maps because of the states shifting demographics, giving Democrats a better chance of reaching the critical two-thirds majority in the Senate. Democrats currently hold 25 of the 40 seats in the upper chamber and need just two more to hit the tax vote threshold. The last time one party held a two-thirds majority in one house of the Legislature was after the 1976 election, when Democrats controlled the Assembly. In the Senate, it was 1965, when Democrats had a 27-13 majority, according to E. Dotson Wilson, the chief clerk in the Assembly.
DORAL, Fla. Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney urged conservatives to back off aggressive anti-immigration policies as the Republican presidential candidates vied for Hispanic votes Friday, a day marked by heightened tensions entering the nal weekend before Floridas primary. Im very concerned about those who are already here illegally and how we deal with those 11 million or so, Romney said. My heart goes out to that group of people. ... Were not going to go around and round people up in buses and ship them home. The compassionate approach, like Gingrichs calls for politically practical reform, was aimed at improving the Republican Partys tarnished reputation among Hispanics. Both men delivered speeches Friday to the same group of Hispanic leaders gathered in Miami but avoided at least briey criticizing each other in what now looks like a two-man race for the nomination. Any calls for temperance on immigration didnt apply to personal attacks elsewhere. The former House speaker released a new
television ad in Florida using former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee to question Romneys integrity. If a mans dishonest to get a job, hell be dishonest on the job, Huckabee says in the ad. However, Huckabee said he didnt approve of his Newt Gingrich appearance in the ad and had been quoted out of context. Reiterating his stand against making a primary endorsement, he wrote on his PAC website: My hope is to defeat Barack Obama and win majorities in both the House and Senate, not to attack any of the presidential candidates who might be our nominee. Romney ashed a newfound condence as he campaigned the day after delivering a strong debate performance. Ive had the fun of two debates where I had to stand up and battle, and battling was fun and battling was won, he told cheering supporters gathered at Cape Canaveral. He later likened Gingrichs complaints to Goldilocks, the fairy tale character who complained of the temperature of her porridge.
SACRAMENTO California prison ofcials have sent layoff notices to 545 employees, including 140 guards, as the inmate population declines to comply with a federal court order. Corrections ofcials said Friday there are 14,000 fewer inmates than four months ago, when a new law began sending those convicted of lower-level offenses to county jails instead of state prisons.
Federal judges, in an order backed by the U.S. Supreme Court, gave the state two years to reduce its prison population by 33,000 inmates to improve medical care. The population peaked at 162,000 in 2006. The layoffs will take effect Feb. 29, although some of those affected can transfer to other prisons that have vacancies. Another round of layoffs is planned this fall. Ofcials could not say how many notices will go out then.

Fraud fighting unit launched

Justice unit to probe mortgage-backed securities
By Pete Yost
Bank embezzler ordered to repay more than $450K

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
WASHINGTON Federal and state law enforcement officials announced Friday they have launched a fraudfighting unit, starting with 55 prosecutors and investigators, to root out wrongdoing in the market for residential mortgage-backed securities. Attorney General Eric Holder told a news conference the team will benefit from existing probes and disclosed that investigators have issued civil subpoenas to 11 financial institutions in recent days, with the prospect that more will follow. He said bringing full enforcement resources to bear will help expose abuses and hold violators accountable. Residential mortgage-backed securities are the huge investment packages of what turned out to be near-worthless mortgages that bankrupted many investors and contributed to the nations financial crisis. The new effort was disclosed Tuesday night in the State of the Union address by President Barack Obama.
A former Burlingame credit union employee accused of taking more than $428,000 in cash from customers and the bank itself during a four-year stretch was ordered to pay more than $450,000 in restitution. Norielyn Galbadores Bautista, 43, pleaded no contest four counts of grand theft, one count of forgery and one count of identity theft in August. In September, she was sentenced to four years and eight months in state prison with 629 days credit for time served. On Friday, she was sentenced to pay $451,198.67 in restitution to the Pacica Advantage Federal Credit Union, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti. Bautista, of Daly City, worked for the credit union. Between March 2006 and 2010, authorities say she embezzled money from the banks general fund and the accounts of 15 customers. None of the money has been recovered. Bautista was originally charged with 45 felonies.

Attorney General Eric Holder said investigators have issued civil subpoenas to 11 nancial institutions in recent days,with the prospect that more will follow.
The president has been criticized by some in his own party who have said that, despite a federal bailout of large Wall Street institutions begun under President George W. Bush, no Wall Street executives have gone to prison for fraudulent conduct in the mortgage meltdown and financial crisis. Appearing with Holder, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, a co-chair of the initiative, held out the prospect that information sharing between federal and state investigators will produce more far-reaching results. He pointed out that New York state securities law is more flexible than federal securities law, which can make it easier to assemble cases.
Twitters new censorship plan rouses global furor

By David Crary
NEW YORK Twitter, a tool of choice for dissidents and activists around the world, found itself the target of global outrage Friday after unveiling plans to allow country-specic censorship of tweets that might break local laws. It was a stunning role reversal for a youthful company that prides itself in promoting unfettered expression, 140 characters at a time. Twitter insisted its commitment to free speech remains rm, and sought to explain the nuances of its policy, while critics in a barrage of tweets proposed a Twitter boycott and demanded that the censorship initiative be scrapped.

native land claims in order to facilitate the development of the Alaska pipeline worth trillions of dollars in oil. Alaska natives gave up 88 percent of our traditional lands, and received in return ANCs. ANCs pay state and federal taxes and are responsible for serving their Native shareholders and providing social, cultural and economic benets to their Native communities in perpetuity. Shares of ANCs cannot be traded or sold, it is a lifetime membership. Only Alaska Native shareholders through the election of an Alaska Native Board have a say in the companies businesses, cultural and social endeavors. In 40 years, some ANCs have done well, while others still struggle to nd their footing in achieving business success. ANCs participation in the Small Business Administration 8(a) program is often described by Alaska native leaders as the missing link to ANCSA and is absolutely instrumental to the business development of ANCs. Through the 8(a) program, many ANCs are able to provide eldercare trust funds, dividends, funeral assistance,
Telling the story of Alaska Native Corporations

By Kristina Woolston
Nuttinbut the troot

everal of my readers have expressed concern and sympathy when negative letters about me appear in this newspaper. Please dont be! I take none of them seriously. I ignore those who do not discuss or offer arguments to what I write but resort to attacking the messenger, not the message. Like, youre a socialist or commie or the resident leftie, most often, likely, not knowing what those forms of government really mean. I have also been told I have my head in the sand and myopic for suggesting it was highly unlikely there would be another terrorist attack the scope of 9/11, a fear grossly exaggerated by the Bush administration that won it another term. Yes, Ive even been called a Nazi for arguing a policy of crowding out Palestinians from the occupied West Bank with settlements will never lead to peace, unless new land is negotiated from the borders created by the United Nations in 1947. Or disdain for pointing out our Middle Eastern military incursions would only lead to an unconscionable slaughter and maiming of our own young troops and not valid acts of national self-defense. The reason for such responses? Most likely because many do not like to have their certainty challenged. It unhinges the beliefs upon which they have been operating. So, the typical response is only to demean and insult the challenger. As a matter of fact, over the years Ive found I have much in common with those who disagree with me. What causes the disconnect is we all come from different points of view, molded from our own life experience. Mine, of course, are rooted in living through the Great Depression and experiencing combat and viewing the mess in Europe during World War II. Its very difcult to debate if one doesnt know where the others are coming from. They may be perfectly right in their views but the disconnect could be in interpreting the language being used. For example, one reader interpreted my writing, The middle class has had so much taken from it in the past 30 years as complaining about government cutting of what they call handouts and reforming social safety net programs. Actually, what I was writing about are the terrible nancial losses of savings and in 401(k) programs through no fault of their own, drops in income earning power, loss of jobs in reductions in force (as in those companies acquired by Mitt Romneys Bain Company), jobs exported overseas and the jobs creators holding back two and a half trillion dollars from job creating, among other things. Others see only entitlements and never shall the twain meet. For variations in points of view, listen to the Republican debates. Much talk about entitlements, lazy workers, welfare, food stamps but nary a word about the rape of the public by the nancial world and these are all currently pressing issues in our mutually occupied national economy. On a personal basis, a reader makes a good point. The previous tail of my column, mentioning only my university experience, leads some readers to assume I am a retired academic. In fact, I have been asked a number of times where I taught. Nothing farther from the truth! My 50-year work experience has been with only four major (and honest) business corporations, in insurance and as a registered commodity options broker dealing in the nancial markets, where I witnessed rst-hand the greed on Wall Street that brought on the Great Recession. Anyone who has read my column over the years knows I have never proposed any political or economic policies or criticized our entrepreneurial and free market system. I only take on those who have been prostituting these to their own greedy advantage. Ive only been trying to share with fellow members of the middle class what my business experiences have taught me about how we are all being screwed by the rogues in our nancial world through legislation and tax breaks for the wealthy paid for by contributions to many legislators for their campaign funds, including President Obama. I thought this was very personal so Ive never mentioned this in my column before but I went from a family that lived from paycheck to paycheck during the Great Depression to the upper middle class and even made the cut into the top 1 percent for a period before I retired. Yes, I make fun about the conservative movement because I believe they are deluded in thinking we can push our country back in history and culture where they expect they will feel more comfortable. Dem days is gone forever folks and we best be thinking about how we can handle a future of change. If, at 86, I can deal with uncertainty, theres no reason why any younger need to clutch the dying past to their breasts. Keith Kreitman has been a resident of Foster City for 26 years. After degrees in political science and journalism and advanced studies in law, he retired after a 50-year business career in insurance, as a commodities options broker and with four major private corporations.

.S. Rep. Jackie Speiers statements in the Jan. 6, 2012 article in the San Mateo Daily Journal, Speier to focus on military spending, falsely describes Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs) and their participation in government contracting. Rep. Speier, D-San Mateo, believes ANCs are a problem that she must address. Rep. Speier claims that ANC contracts allow a bypass of the bid process, and falsely claims that such contracts violate the law. It is true subsidiaries of ANCs in the 8(a) program may receive direct award contracts, just like any other 8(a) rm. But, it is patently false to claim that the awarding of sole source contract to any 8(a) rm violates the law. Its disappointing when misinformation is spread about these efcient, hardworking companies. ANCs employ more than 7,600 hardworking Californians while providing benets to native shareholders. It appears Rep. Speier may question our indigenous land claims settlement. In 1971, Congress passed the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). The act extinguished Alaska

Letters to the editor

Bias is ignorance
Editor, Someday, someone may explain why a newspaper such as the Daily Journal allows such a biased person to have a whole ongoing column to continually demonstrate his bias masquerading as opinion. Having Keith Kreitman spew out a column on economic related views is analogous to giving the grand wizard a column to inform us about racial tolerance with the same result. Bias is ignorance. Kreitman ignores facts, reality and history constantly, and Id be happy to debate him anywhere in public. As an example, he spews Do the Republicans really believe, by appealing and catering to their most extremely conservative voters in their party to nail down the nomination for the presidency they are building up voter support in the general election? in his latest column The hazards of being a columnist published in the Jan. 21-22 weekend edition of the Daily Journal. Someone should unplug Mr. Kreitmans brain from the liberal brainwashing machine. If anyone is doing what Mr. Kreitman is saying, it is the Democratic Party. Obama betrayed the unions in killing tens of thousands of shovelready jobs in the Keystone Pipeline. And the SEIU (55 White House meetings) supported the Occupy movement as it attacked the blue collar workers at the Port of Oakland, amidst Mr. Obamas dead silence. He did this all for the radical leftist environmental base. And when Obama vaporized 1,400 auto dealerships and destroyed Delphi, the auto parts manufacturer, just to get rid of the Republicans who owned the dealerships, he immediately destroyed 40,000 middle class jobs. So much for the Obama helping the middle class project. Keith Kreitmans ignorance makes your opinion page a joke. are plied from taxpayers or borrowed from future generations. Consider the grave consequences that we might face if Washington fails to balance our books quickly: it is fair to question how wisely this money will be spent and whether to spend it at all. Next time someone says anything about the free money from the Feds, lets remind them it is not free.

Fair taxation
Editor, Taxes should be fair. If the purpose of taxation is to fund the functions of government, wouldnt the fairest method of calculation be determined by the usage of these services? People who use more should pay more. Taxation based on number of people in a household would be fair. People who earn more money pay more income taxes even at the same rate as lower earners. Higher wages also mean higher levels of sales taxes and higher property taxes.

Federal money is still taxpayer money

Editor, The front page article published in the Jan. 26 edition of the Daily Journal of high-speed rail ends on the note about the $3 billion California will lose if we choose not to build the HSR, as if we were forfeiting the bequest from a generous uncle. That it is not the case. These federal grants do not grow in national forests (one tree denitely cant produce enough green stuff for such a massive project); they

Wall Street
ous trading pattern this year: Trading has been calm in the past four weeks, a big change from the violent moves up and down that marked much of 2011. Friday was the 17th day in a row of moves of less than 100 points up or down for the Dow. The last time the index had a longer period of such small moves was a 34-day stretch that started Dec. 3, 2010. Despite the drift lower, investors displayed some bullishness. Roughly two stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. And the Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks rose nearly 2 percent for the week. Investors tend to sell stocks in the Russell when theyre worried, not buy them, because smaller rms often dont have much cash and other resources when times get tough. Risk-taking is picking up, says Jeff Schwarte, a portfolio manager at Principal Global Equities. He says his rm has been buying small rms since late last year. Were still nding attractive stocks. Next week, investors will turn their attention to Facebook, the powerhouse social network, which appears headed for the most anticipated initial public offering of stock in years.
Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Friday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Chevron Corp.,down $2.63 at $103.96 The oil companys fourth-quarter prot slipped 3.2 percent as its reneries struggled with the higher cost of crude oil. Newell Rubbermaid Inc.,up $1.39 at $18.82 The consumer products maker said that fourth-quarter net income rose 6 percent thanks to better results in emerging markets. Legg Mason Inc.,down $1.30 at $26.02 The investment rm said that its third-quarter earnings fell by about half as its clients withdrew more cash than they deposited. Timken Co.,up $1.37 at $49.04 The industrial parts supplier said that its fourth-quarter prot grew about 21 percent thanks to stronger demand for its products. Solutia Inc.,up $8.01 at $27.52 Chemical company Eastman Chemical Co. said it is buying the maker of materials and specialty chemicals for about $3.38 billion. Nasdaq Riverbed Technology Inc., down $5.47 at $24.45 The provider of virtualization and cloud computing services warned of a rst-quarter dip in the growth of one its product lines. Cepheid,up $8.79 at $43.14 The diagnostics company posted a fourthquarter loss, but the companys results and outlook were stronger than analysts expected. Wendys Co.,down 5 cents at $5.21 UBS downgraded the fast food chain to Neutral from Buy saying that its new W burger might hurt sales of its other burgers.
NEW YORK The stock market closed mostly lower Friday, sending the Dow Jones industrial average to its rst losing week of 2012, after the government reported that economic growth was slower at the end of last year than economists expected. The Dow spent the whole day in the red. It ended down 74 points, or 0.6 percent, at 12,660.46. The loss snapped a three-week winning streak for the Dow, which fell 60 points for the week but is still up 3.6 percent for the year. The Standard & Poors 500 struggled above even with an hour to go in trading, but it lost the gains and nished down 2.10 points at 1,316.33. The S&P nished the week up a sliver 0.95 points. The Nasdaq composite, which has more than doubled the Dows gain for the year, edged up 11.27 to 2,816.55. It rose about 30 points this week. Economic growth for October through December came in at an annual rate of 2.8 percent. That was the fastest of 2011 but lower than the 3 percent that economists were looking for. Utility companies led the way down with a fall of 1.3 percent. Most of the other nine industries in the S&P also fell, but only slightly, continuing a curi-

As U.S. slows, P&G turns to developing markets
NEW YORK Emerging markets are playing a bigger role in Procter & Gamble Co.s growth, in another sign that U.S. companies are courting new customers overseas as American shoppers get tapped out. The maker of Tide laundry detergent, Crest toothpaste and Pampers diapers said Friday that its market value grew 9 percent in developing countries over the latest quarter, but just 2 percent in North America and 0.5 percent in Western Europe. That news came as P&G reported a 49 percent drop in prot for the second scal quarter, hobbled by higher costs for materials and a big write-down on the value of two of its business units. Developing markets like Africa and parts of Latin America and Asia now make up almost 37 percent of P&Gs sales, up from 27 percent ve years ago. That growth was buoyed by recent expansions like toothpaste offerings in Nigeria and fabric softener in Indonesia. In the same period, the share of sales that P&G makes in the U.S. dropped to 37 percent from 43 percent.
Chevrons 4Q profit drop highlights hurdles ahead

NEW YORK Satisfying the worlds growing energy appetite isnt easy. Chevron Corp., which has spent more than $20 billion a year since 2007 scouring the globe for new resources, said Friday that it is struggling to produce more oil and natural gas. Production levels last year were the lowest since 2008. The company still expects to supply more oil in the future, but its troubles last year highlight the many hurdles the industry faces as industrial and developing nations crave more oil to grow their economies. The U.S. predicts that oil producers will fall behind as global demand ratchets up. The Energy Information Administration estimated that the world used 88.1 million barrels of oil per day in 2011 while producing only 87.6 million barrels per day. It sees the trend continuing this year and next. Oil and gasoline prices are expected to rise as countries dip into stockpiles to cover shortfalls.
LOS ANGELES When Facebook makes its long-expected debut as a public company this spring, the social-networking company will likely vault into the ranks of the largest public companies in the world, alongside McDonalds, Amazon.com and Bank of America. The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Facebook is preparing to le initial paperwork for an offering that could raise as much as $10 billion and value the company at $75 billion to $100 billion. The ling with the Securities and Exchange Commission could come as early as Wednesday, with an initial public offering of stock in three or four months. The targeted amount would slot it among the worlds 25 largest IPOs, although as recently as November 2010, General Motors raised $15.8 billion when it shed majority control by the U.S. government. The IPOs of 14 companies would rank higher than Facebooks, according to investment adviser Renaissance Capital. Among them were Visa Inc.s $17.9 billion IPO in March 2008, the largest for a U.S. company, and world-topper Agricultural Bank of China Ltd., which
raised $19.3 billion in July 2010, not including extra shares issued to meet demand. Facebook spokesman Larry Wu said the company will not comment on IPOrelated speculation. The Journal had cited unnamed people familiar with the matter. The Journal also said that Facebook was close to picking Morgan Stanley as the lead underwriter, which would be a setback for rival Goldman Sachs. Both declined comment to the Associated Press. The buzz surrounding an outsized haul for Facebooks founders, employees and early investors remains a hopeful sign for capital markets following a deep recession. At the reported price, Facebooks IPO would be the biggest for a U.S. Internet company ever topping the debut of one of its main rivals, Google Inc. We are expecting 2012 to be a year of recovery for the IPO market led by the Facebook IPO, said Kathy Smith, Renaissance Capitals principal.
American economy not healthy yet,but its healing

By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON The American economy may not be truly healthy yet, but its healing. The 2.8 percent annual growth rate reported Friday for the fourth quarter was the fastest since spring 2010 and was the third straight quarter that growth has accelerated. Experts cautioned, however, that the pace was unlikely to last and that its not enough to sharply drive down the unemployment rate.
Unemployment stands at 8.5 percent its lowest level in nearly three years after a sixth straight month of solid hiring. And Fridays Commerce Department report suggests more hiring gains ahead. For the nal three months of 2011, Americans spent more on vehicles, and companies restocked their supplies at a robust pace. Still, overall growth last quarter and for all of last year was slowed by the sharpest cuts in annual government spending in four decades. And many people are reluctant to spend more or
buy homes, and many employers remain hesitant to hire, even though job growth has strengthened. The outlook for 2012 is slightly better. The Federal Reserve has estimated economic growth of roughly 2.5 percent for the year, despite abundant risk factors: federal spending cuts, weak pay increases, cautious consumers and the risk of a European recession. Economists noted that most of the growth in the October-December quarter was due to companies restocking their supplies at the fastest rate in nearly two years. That pace is expected to slow.

Sacred Heart Prep,Menlo battle to scoreless draw

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Given the rivalry between Menlo School and Sacred Heart Prep, anytime teams from the two schools meet, the intensity level goes up a notch. When the Menlo boys soccer team made the short trip to Gator land Friday afternoon, the intensity dial was turned up to 11. The Knights, in second place behind undefeated Sacred Heart Prep in the West Bay
Athletic League, could not afford a loss if they had any hope of catching the Gators for the league title. When the nal whistle blew, the Knights had accomplished their goal. It was not, however, an optimal result as the teams battled to a scoreless tie. [The tie] does not benet them because theyre still ve points back, said SHP coach Armando Del Rio. I still feel condent (in our ability to win league. Menlo (4-1-3 WBAL, 7-1-5 overall) played
SHP (6-0-2, 9-0-4) evenly in the rst half, and even had the more dangerous chances. Max Parker had a shot crash off the crossbar and a save from SHP goalkeeper Max Polkinhorne kept the Knights off the scoreboard. that was probably the most balanced half weve played against them, said Menlo coach Mark Arya. Zero-zero is a draw, but its great for us. A tie is a good result. In the second half, however, it was the Gators who controlled the possession and put a tremendous amount of pressure on the
Knights goal. But thanks to the play of Menlo goalkeeper Timmy Costa, the Gators could not crack the seal. During a two-minute span of the second half, Costa made three huge saves. The sequence started in the 58th minute when SHPs Brendan Spillane received the ball near the left sideline and carried the ball parallel to the goal about 25 yards out. He unleashed a shot that was headed for the upper

M-A tops Bearcats

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
What uke? Four weeks ago, the College of San Mateo womens basketball team traveled to the City College of San Francisco and picked up a monumental win to start 2011 Coast Conference play. Because of the Rams rough start to the ball game, there were those who questioned how legitimate CSMs win really was. Well, let it be known that there is nothing debatable about the Bulldogs performance Friday night. Twice, CSM was down 10 points to the Rams in the second half. But behind an inspired 16 minutes of defense to end the game, the Bulldogs outscored CCSF 40-14 to close things out and pick up a 77-61 win. I told the girls it doesnt matter what anyone else says, it matters what they believe, said CSM coach Michelle Warner, who has her team sitting pretty atop the Coast Conference North Division at 5-1. You have to prove it on the court. Talk is cheap. You have to prove it on the court and I think they did tonight. (The talk) made us want to play harder, said CSM guard Nicole McDonald. We knew it wasnt a uke. We know were an awesome team when we work together. And were an awesome team because we work together. We know no one can stop us if we play together. So tonight, we went out and we knew we had each others back. It wasnt a uke, we knew we had it. It was just condence. Wherever it is that the Bulldogs traveled to nd that condence, it would benet them to check-in there the rest of the season because things didnt look good for CSM for the better part of the game. San Mateo and San Francisco were even through the rst ve minutes of the game with CSM actually taking a 15-12 lead. Little did they know it would be a long time before they would sniff a lead again. CCSF went on a 12-0 run capped off by a 3pointer by Rachelle Smith to make it 24-15 midway through the rst half. Kimmie Fung restored a bit of order with a jumper but the

In the gauntlet that was a week full of soccer for the Menlo-Atherton boys team, the Bears saved their best performance for last. M-A will be the rst to admit its 1-0 win over San Mateo Friday wasnt the prettiest soccer game the Bears have played all year, but it isnt farfetched to say that it was their most focused effort of the year. We played Monday-Wednesday-Friday, said M-A coach Jacob Pickard. And it wasnt like they were easy matches. The Monday match was against Woodside and that was a difcult one. Wednesdays against Carlmont became difcult because of card issues and stuff like that, so they werent easy games. They were pushed to the very end just like today. Fortunately, we got three wins out of three and you cant ever be mad at that. It was denitely a best-case scenario for the Bears considering that their winter-break scheduled forced them to move some things around early in the year, thus leaving them with a lot of soccer in a relatively short period of time. But when the dust settled at the end of 80 minutes against a division-leading San Mateo team, the Bears emerged victorious courtesy of a penalty kick executed by Edgardo Molina in the 33rd minute. It was our fourth game in seven days, said MA mideld Aaron Oro. We had a tough week, we were pushed to the limit against Woodside and Carlmont but we had a good week of practice, muscles felt good so it was just a matter of focusing and recognizing what was at hand going up against a great San Mateo side and we were able to pull through. I knew they were going to be a hard team, said San Mateo midelder Benny Angeles. M-A is a good team. I think we gave them a little too much respect in the beginning. But it is what it is, a PK. We cant take it back. The referee called it and we have to move on. Its a tough pill to shallow considering that San Mateo appeared to be in control of the game at the time of the score. M-A pressured early on behind Molinas speed up front. But the forward went out with a leg injury a third of the way into the rst half.

Dorell Wright scored 23 and David Lee had 19 points and seven rebounds for the Warriors, who pushed another one of the NBAs elite to the brink. While Golden State already topped Miami, Chicago and Orlando this season, rookie coach Mark Jacksons bunch came up short this time.
OAKLAND Kevin Durant had 37 points and 14 rebounds, Russell Westbrook dazzled with 28 points and 11 assists and the NBA-leading Oklahoma City Thunder started a critical road stretch with a 120-109 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Friday night. James Harden scored 19 points off the bench and Westbrook added six rebounds in the Thunders fourth straight win. Oklahoma City
The Thunder overcame a few second-half lapses before exing their muscles for good. Westbrooks running layup extended Oklahoma Citys lead to 85-77 entering the nal period, and the Warriors in typical fashion turned back the momentum with a frantic fourth-quarter rally. Nate Robinson, with the Thunder late last season, shook off a defender with a nifty behind-theback dribble and pulled up for a mid-range jumper that sliced Oklahoma Citys lead to three. He
pumped his chest running back on defense, waving to fans and taunting his one-time Thunder teammates. The celebration turned out to be premature. Serge Ibaka also had 20 points and 12 rebounds for Oklahoma City, which plays at the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night. The Thunder also held guard Stephen Curry, who had a seasonhigh 32 points Wednesday night against Portland, to 15 points and six assists.

Sequoia takes commanding lead in Lake

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Sequoia girls basketball team completed the rst half of the Peninsula Athletic League Lake Division schedule undefeated. Friday, the Cherokees faced the one team that had a chance to give them a run for the Lake Division title second-place Hillsdale. Using their ultra-slow offense and strong rebounding, the Cherokees need just one more win to clinch at least a tie for the crown following their 43-28 victory over the Knights. Hillsdale is a really good team and we had to play really well to beat them, said Sequoia coach Steve Picchi. If we didnt play really well, they would get us. Youve heard of uptempo offense? Sequoia employs a down-tempo approach, routinely taking 20 seconds off the shot and not initiating its offense until the nal 10 seconds. It works for the Cherokees. Even with 10 seconds to get a shot off, Sequoia (5-0 PAL Lake, 11-5 overall), more often than not, worked its offense to perfection. The Cherokees either got a high-percentage shot, or grabbed an offensive rebound to keep the Knights at bay. Against a team that wants to play fast [playing slow] benets us, Picchi said. The only way it works is if its a style and thats our style.
It also helps to have a four-year point guard running the offense and that is exactly who Sequoias Alaina Woo is. Whether setting up a teammate or taking the shot herself, she is the motor that makes the Cherokees run. She nished with a game-high 18 points. If Woo is the motor, Bulou Mataitoga is the horsepower. Mired in foul trouble most of the game, Mataitoga took over in the fourth quarter, scoring nine of her 12 points in the nal eight minutes. She had to play almost the entire second half with four fouls, Picchi said. Shes been doing it for us all year. Shes solid. The game might have been different if Hillsdale (3-2, 10-8) could have made even a quarter of its shots. The Knights struggled against the Sequoia zone defense in the rst half, settling for low-percentage jump shots. They did a better job of attacking the Cherokees defense in the second half, but the shots just werent falling for the Knights. They shot just 17 percent from the eld on 8 of 46 shooting. Id like to think we took them out of their comfort zone, Picchi said. Hillsdale coach Dan Hibson gave all the credit to the Sequoia defense, but did admit it was just an off-night shooting for his team. [Sequoia] played really well, Hibson said. The balls just werent falling, but give

[Sequoia] credit. Were very streaky with our shooting. If you live and die with your shot, it can (sometimes) kill you.
The game was close after one quarter, with Sequoia holding a 9-6 advantage after eight minutes. In the second quarter, the Cherokees made four 3-pointers and led 21-11 at halftime. After Sequoia committed just three turnovers in the rst half, the Cherokees committed six in the third quarter alone, leaving the door open just a crack for Hillsdale. The Knights had their biggest output of the game in the third, scoring 10 points, cutting the Sequoia lead to 25-19 after two Marissa Dachover free throws. Weve been there before, Picchi said. Theres always going to be that storm you have to weather. It was as close as the Knights would get as they went cold from the eld in the fourth quarter. Hillsdale trailed 33-25 after Jenna Yee, who nished with 12 points, hit one of two free throws with 6:33 left to play. Sequoia responded with a 10-0 run. When Mataitoga hit a bucket with 1:37 left, the Cherokees enjoyed a 43-25 lead. Ashley Izumi was the only other Knight to nish in double gures, also scoring 12. All in all, the girls were incredibly poised, Picchi said. Knowing we have a two-game lead on Hillsdale is big. Said Hibson: Sequoia is the team to beat (in the Lake Division).

has a little too much to drink and gets out of hand. But he doesnt expect that. He gures there will be a lot of goodnatured ribbing, of course, just as there was in 2008, when the Giants upset the Patriots 17-14 in the Super Bowl. But it shouldnt escalate past that. This is what we live for, said Cedric Monroe, 36, of New Britain, who watches football at the bar most Sundays. We have the Giants and they have the Patriots and this is what we all want. This is exactly what we want. New Britain is a blue-collar city of just over 70,000 people, and home to toolmaker Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.

Central Connecticut boasts the Super Bowl border

By Pat Eaton-Robb
NEW BRITAIN, Conn. Vinny Smith knows all about divided football loyalties in central Connecticut. Smith, 28, of Berlin, Conn., is a New York Giants fan. His wife, Maria, 29, roots for the New England Patriots. I spend a lot of time sleeping on the couch, he said Thursday as the couple sat eating chicken wings at Romas Sports Bar in New Britain, which sits about two hours southwest of Gillette Stadium, and about two hours northeast of the Meadowlands. On the wall of the bar, owner Khalid Tawk has hung the ags of both teams. He plans to divide the place in half on Feb. 5, keeping Patriots fans on one side of the room and Giants fans on the other. We will have a police ofcer here, he said, in case somebody

hood. We are right in the DMZ (demilitarized zone) between the two. The city has links to both organizations. The Giants, in fact, played one of their earliest games here in October 1925, winning 26-0 against a local professional team. New York also spent 1973 and 1974 at the Yale Bowl, a half hour down Interstate 91 in New Haven, while Yankee Stadium was being renovated and Giants Stadium was being built. The Patriots never played in New Britain, but one of the citys favorite sons played for New England. Tebucky Jones, a defensive back on the teams rst Super Bowl-championship team in 2002, now serves as
head coach at his alma mater, New Britain High. He grew up a Raiders fan, because former Oakland player Willie Hall lived in his neighborhood. But Jones, who played for three teams during his NFL career, wears his Patriots garb proudly around town these days. I dont understand people rooting for New York, he said. We live in New England, right? We dont have a pro sports team in Connecticut. The biggest sports team with have is UConn. But we live in New England. Monroe said hes never hated the Patriots. Before the 2008 Super Bowl, there was never a natural
rivalry similar to the Yankees and the Red Sox. Monroe said he and a lot of other lifelong Giants fans considered rooting for Patriots in 1998, when owner Bob Kraft agreed to move his team to Hartford. But when Kraft backed out of the deal, it made it all the easier to see that team as the enemy. I think there is still a lot of like for the Patriots as a team, said Mayor OBrien. However, if the dear owner of the Patriots team showed up in New Britain, I wouldnt be surprised if he ended up with a few trafc violation tickets. The Smiths have simply agreed to disagree when it comes to football. Although, Maria Smith is giving her husband some incentive not to root quite as hard for New York next week. He can come back in the bedroom, she said, the day the Patriots win.
Raiders ofcially announce hiring of Allen as coach

By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA Hiring a new coach has become almost commonplace for the Raiders, who will have their seventh coach in the past 10 seasons in 2012. As the rst coach hired in the post-Al Davis era in Oakland, Dennis Allen will have a
Dennis Allen
much different task than his predecessors. The Raiders officially announced Allens hiring on Friday, three days after reports initially emerged
that he was new general manager Reggie McKenzies choice to lead the franchise. Allen will be ofcially introduced at a news conference Monday but has likely already started the process of putting together his rst staff as a head coach at any level. Davis made almost all the key decisions for the Raiders in his nearly half-century with the franchise
before he died Oct. 8. He made most of the personnel moves, hired the coaches and hand-picked many of the assistants in a process that contributed to three Super Bowl titles and plenty of playoff trips when it worked, as well as a current nineyear playoff drought. There is now a new structure in place in 2012 with Davis son, Mark,
serving as managing general partner. Mark Davis hired McKenzie as his general manager earlier this month and gave him the power to make all football decisions. McKenzie immediately red Hue Jackson, who went 8-8 in his only season as head coach, and began a search for a replacement that led to the decision to hire Allen.

Pennsylvania home if accompanied by a parent. Authorities allege Sandusky sexually abused 10 boys over a 15-year span. Sandusky has said he is innocent. He is currently under house arrest and forbidden from having contact with anyone under 18. Jerrys grandchildren want to see him, and he very much wants to see them, Sanduskys lawyer, Joe Amendola, wrote in an email to The Associated Press. A 12th grandchild is expected in the near future, according to the motion. A judge has scheduled a hearing for Feb. 10. We just knew we had it, McDonald said. Our biggest thing is: next play, next play, next play. So as soon as we made a mistake, we just looked at each other and knew we just had to continue. The best thing about this team is that we have each others back and we know that if someone makes a mistake, someone will be there picking up for it. That concept denitely clicked for CSM from that moment forward. The Bulldogs forced six CCSF turnovers and got another six steals, chipping away at the decit along the way. By the time the 6:26 marked rolled around, it was McDonalds bucket-and-a-foul that gave the Bulldogs their rst lead since the beginning parts of the game and by the time CCSF got around to calling a timeout in an attempt to stop the bleeding, the Bulldogs were up 62-55. We knew defense was going to step the tone from the beginning, McDonald said. We knew our defense was going to set up our offense. Defense is always effort and we wanted this game. This team, they love to play together, Warner said. When someone pushes them, theyre not afraid to push back. McDonald nished with 16 points, 13 coming in the second half. CSM got a career game from Churel Kanongataa, who scored 13 points and brought down six rebounds spelling starter Sarah Balling who was in foul trouble from the beginning of the game. CCSFs Smith nished with 21 points. Fung was in double gures with 12. CSM came in ranked 10th in the CCCAA Northern California coaches poll. CCSF was second. The win marked the second time this season the Bulldogs have taken down the Rams when they were ranked No. 2.

Rams rode that run to a six-point advantage come recess. Both teams shot 39 percent from the oor, but the difference was the Rams ability to hit the 3-pointer. CCSF was 5 of 14 from downtown. CSM was only 1 of 6. Plus, as its been the case all year long, CSM was out-rebounded 17-9. Things got worse quickly for the Bulldogs to begin the second half. Less than two minutes in, they were down 40-30 this even without the services of Janis Peterson for CCSF, who sat on the bench nursing an illness. Peterson is one of the top scorers in the conference, averaging 18 points per game. In her absence, Olivia Overtone-Mayorga stepped up for the Rams. The forward had 10 points in the rst half and scored a quick four to begin the second, forcing Warner to call a timeout. I told them to settle down and take a deep breath, Warner said. Just run the offense. They were a little hyped for the game. They really wanted it, and I told them, just do what got you here. Settle down, run it. They were scoring off our turnovers and offensive rebounds and I said, Find me some people who want to rebound. We really turned it on and did a good job. Chief among those answering the call were McDonald, who actually had to switch out of her No. 10 jersey during the game because it was bloodied in battle. McDonald said despite being down 10 with 16:26 left in the game, it was only a matter of time and focus.

Costa, however, stayed with the play, came out of the goal and smothered the rebound attempt. The Gators earned a corner kick following Costas second save with the ball eventually nding Spillane at the top of the penalty box.

but when the Knights did get in the attacking third of the eld, they made the Gators sweat a little bit. They earned a number of free kicks, and while they got shots in the direction of then Gators goal, very few seriously challenged Polkinhorne. There were a couple of exceptions, however. On a free kick just over the mideld stripe, Agustin Diaz sent a long ball into the SHP penalty box. Andrew Stepien got his head on the ball, directing toward the far left post, forcing Polkinhorne into a diving save. Later, a high, arcing ball was sent into the Gators penalty box and Polkinhorne needed every inch of his frame to grab it out of the air. The Gators threw everything at the Menlo goal in the waning moments of the game even sending Polkinhorne into the mix on a later corner kick. The Gators last best chance came from a throw-in deep in Menlo territory. The ball leaked out to Patrick Tinsley just outside the Knights penalty box. With time and space, Tinsley had time to look up and pick a corner, but his shot went wide. The second half we moved the ball better, Del Rio said. We created some opportunities and their goalkeeper made some great saves.

Singler: No regrets after bucking NBA for Spain

By Paul Logothetis
MADRID NBA prospect Kyle Singler has no regrets over his decision to spurn the Detroit Pistons to play basketball in Europe. The Real Madrid forward, selected by Detroit with the 33rd pick in the second round of the draft, is one of the few players who didnt return after the NBA lockout ended. The former Duke forward felt pressured from the Pistons to come back, but he preferred to stay in Spain and hone his skills. I knew they were upset, a little disappointed. The bottom line was that I was a little selfish, I wanted the best for myself, I wanted to be happy, Singler told The Associated Press from Madrids training facilities on the outskirts of the Spanish capital.
The opportunity to play a lot more was here,but the bottom line was I was happy and felt no pressure to leave and go back to the NBA.Deep down,I knew it was the best decision for me to stay.
Kyle Singler
It was difcult but, at the end of the day, if I never play in the NBA, would I be disappointed? Sure, but Im happy I made the decision I made. The 23-year-old from Oregon said the opportunity to play abroad and experience a foreign culture was too good to pass up. The opportunity to play a lot more was here, but the bottom line was I was happy and felt no pressure to leave and go back to the NBA, said Singler, who was chosen the most valuable player after leading Duke to the 2010 NCAA championship. Deep down, I knew it
was the best decision for me to stay. Ill have another chance to play in the NBA, there was no real rush. Singler rst joined Spanish club Lucentum Alicante for the duration of the lockout, and moved to Madrid on a one-year deal rather than go to Detroit after the new CBA was signed. Singler averages 14.4 points for the Spanish league leaders. This whole experience opens your eyes a little bit, especially being out of the States and over here, its a breath of fresh air, said the the 6-feet-8 Singler. Its a different culture,
new experiences. I like to mix things up, thats probably the easiest way to explain it. Singler is enjoying Spanish culture, taking in Real Madrids soccer matches and the citys cultural sites. His favorite dish is chicken paella. He nds time to go-cart with Madrid teammate and fellow American Jaycee Carroll, a former Utah State player. While his ability to speak Spanish is rudimentary, it hasnt been an issue on the court. With Detroit last in the Eastern Conferences Central division, Singler is happy to wait until the offseason to make a decision if the Pistons offer him a deal. If I do go back, Im sure it will be Detroit because they are very interested in me, Singler said. Im not saying that I dont want to go to their team, but if its a good situation, Ill denitely make that choice.
Tiger Woods in contention in the desert

By Michael Casey
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates Tiger Woods moved into contention after the second round of the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship with a 3-under 69 Friday, two shots behind leader Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark. Olesen shot a 67, making seven birdies in his rst 12 holes for a one-shot lead over 18year-old Gareth Maybin of Northern Ireland (70) and Matteo Mannasero of Italy (65). For me its very special. Its not many years ago I was watching them on TV, Olesen said of the worlds best golfers. I know its tough,
Tiger Woods
but Im trying to keep playing my own game and do my best. Woods had three straight birdies on the back nine to nish at 5-under 139. He started slowly before making three birdies over ve holes. Woods dropped a shot on the 16th after an errant drive landed in deep
rough. I thought I played well today, Woods said. I made a couple putts here and there, but it was tough out there. The greens got a little quicker, a little bit drier and the rough is cerlooked to clear the ball from their defensive zone when it was one-timed back over the top of the defense. On that play, Bearcats goal keeper William Amaya took down the M-A forward in the penalty box. The referee quickly pointed to the penalty spot and a minute later, Molina beat Amaya high and to the left for the goal. Our defense was fantastic, Angeles said. The whole season has been great. A lot of teams havent expected us to be in second place in the Bay Division, so for my senior year, its been a great season. Being patient in our build-up (was the key),
tainly getting deeper and more lush. The best score of the day came from Manassero, who made seven birdies in a bogey-free round. Woods is tied for fourth in a group that includes Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy (72) and Robert Karlsson of Sweden (72). Spains Sergio Garcia (69), Irelands Padraig Harrington (69) and South Africas Charl Schwartzel (70) were at 140. It was a day of mixed fortunes at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club. McIlroys round was marred by a two-shot penalty for brushing away sand in front of his ball, which sat on the fringe on the ninth. Fourth-ranked Martin Kaymer (73) failed to make the cut in a tournament he has Oro said. Rather than just whacking it up to Edgardo, whos obviously a great forward, but it was really just focusing on playing on the ground. We knew they were really good organizationally and we just wanted to break them down on the ground and use our talent to win the game. San Mateo looked to equalize in the second half and come close on a pair of occasions with Esequiel Sandavol missing by a hair twice in the latter parts of the game. With San Mateo pressing, M-A almost caught the Bearcats napping on the counter-attack. But the whistle sounded with the Bears holding on to that one-goal advantage.
won three times. Meanwhile, a relatively unknown 22-year-old Dane surged into the lead of the star-studded tournament in a bid to win his rst event on the European Tour. Much of the attention was on Woods, who is trying to follow up his season-ending victory last month at the Chevron World Challenge with another win. That ended a two-year run without a victory, a period in which the 14time major winner endured a series of injuries and turmoil in his personal life. Woods had a bogey-free rst round but admitted the greens fooled him much of the day. He seemed to gure them out Friday, making several key putts including a 10-footer for his nal birdie on the 15th. It was denitely an important game. The boys knew that coming in, Pickard said. Im not entirely thrilled with the performance. There were a lot of curves balls thrown at us. (The key was) focus making sure that mentally, they stayed disciplined. The rst thing to go when youre tired isnt your legs, its not the quality of your touches, its your mental discipline. And thats what I was worried about. And fortunately they did enough. With the fatigue, I couldnt have asked for too much more. The loss was the rst in league for San Mateo, who drops to 5-1-1. M-A is now the new leader in the clubhouse, with a 4-0-2 record.

His absence opened the door for San Mateo, who took advantage behind the play of Ryan Onizuka.

SAN JOSE Michelle Kwans career has come full circle. Kwan was inducted into the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame on Friday night in the same city where she won her rst national title in 1996. When I look back at my skating career, Im thankful for the years I was on the ice. Having the opportunity to go out and do what I love every day, with thousands and millions of people watching. Its a hobby, something I love doing, she said. Yes, you might look back and say, Its a bummer I didnt win gold in 98 or 2002. Yes, I could reflect Michelle Kwan back and think those thoughts. But to me, it was about moments. It was never about the medals, it was about loving what I do. Kwan was the face of gure skating for a decade, beloved as much for her grace and humility in defeat as her long list of triumphs. Though she won ve world and nine U.S. titles, she is best remembered for her heartbreaking finishes at the Nagano and Salt Lake City games. The favorite at each, she settled instead for a silver (1998) and a bronze (2002). Indeed, the image of her sobbing as she stood below a beaming Tara Lipinski on the Nagano medals podium is as enduring as her majestic performance at the national championships a month earlier. Kwan made one last run at gold in 2006, but a groin injury forced her to drop out of the Turin Olympics two days after the opening ceremony.

Stanley takes lead at Torrey Pines
SAN DIEGO The tougher South Course at Torrey Pines suited Kyle Stanley just ne Friday in the Farmers Insurance Open. Stanley overcame a double bogey early in his round by running off four birdies on the front nine for a 4-under 68, giving him a one-shot lead over Brandt Snedeker going into the weekend. Snedeker, who rst gained notoriety as a rookie at Torrey Pines when he shot 61 on the North Course, had a 64 on the North to make a swift climb up the leaderboard. He is coming off hip surgery at the end of last year and made his season debut at the Humana Challenge last week by getting into the hunt. He tied for eighth, and here he is again. Im certainly surprised that I played this well this fast, Snedeker said. Normally, it takes me a while to get the rust off. But my practice at home went really, really well. I was actually chomping at the bit to get out here because I knew I was playing well. Hopefully, that can happen through the weekend. Stanley, long off the tee and as polished as any of the PGA Tour rookies who won last year, was at 14-under 130. A tournament already missing Tiger Woods will have to do without hometown star Phil Mickelson on the weekend. He shot himself out of the tournament with a 77 on the South in the opening round, and didnt make nearly enough birdies on the North to make the cut.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia So much was on the line for the U.S. womens soccer team that maybe some jitters were understandable. When a 30yard shot hit the frame of goalpost, leaving the ball sitting in front of an empty net, the hearts really started pounding. That, defender Rachel Buehler said, was a very intense moment in the game. Buehler motored in to save the day, knocking an opposing striker off the ball. The Americans had survived another dicey moment. It took a while, but eventually they wore down a heavy underdog and earned their spot in the Olympics. The United States booked its way to London on Friday night with a 3-0 victory over Costa Rica in the seminals of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament, a game more suspenseful than most anyone expected. There were moments where I think Costa Rica were outplaying us, and it just shows you how important it was to all of us, forward Abby Wambach said. Nobody wanted to make that mistake. And luckily we didnt. Tobin Heath scored in the 16th minute to give U.S. all the offense it needed, and goals by Carli Lloyd (72nd) and Alex Morgan (89th) put the game away. We know that sometimes under big game circumstances players can get a little tight, Wambach said. And youve just kind of got to deal with it. ... It was almost as if we scored that goal and nobody wanted to get stuck into a tackle. We were kind of playing a little bit soft,
and we xed that in the second half. The top-ranked Americans were certainly not as crisp as they were when they were beating teams by a combined 31-0 in their previous three games and drawing criticism for running up the score. Sloppy passes led to giveaways in the Abby Wambach first half, forcing goalkeeper Hope Solo to work harder than she has all tournament. When you play games that matter, everybodys a little bit nervous. ... We gave away the ball way too often, coach Pia Sundhage said. Costa Rica is ranked No. 41 in the world, has never qualified for an Olympics or a World Cup and has never scored on the U.S. in eight meetings. Las Ticas proved to be scrappy opponents, however, occasionally frustrating the Americans with physical play and just missing on two solid scoring chances in the first half in the London-or-bust match. As the possibility of an upset lingered deep into the second half, the plucky team in red gained the rousing support of the Canadian fans at BC Place. We put together three great games in group play, said Solo, who played despite a slightly pulled right quadriceps that had been bothering her all week. You cant play four, ve, six. Not every team is going to play perfectly every single game, but we got the job done.
The U.S. will be the two-time defending champions in London, having taken gold in Athens in 2004 and in Beijing in 2008. It will be the third straight Olympics in which the Americans will be trying to make amends for World Cup disappointment from the previous year. They nished second at last years World Cup in Germany, losing to Japan in the nal. The victory also puts the Americans into the tournament nal Sunday, a bragging-rights-only game against the winner of Fridays late game between Mexico and Canada. The U.S. had scored so easily in the tournament that it seemed odd to see the game scoreless until the 16th minute, when a set piece produced the rst goal. Lauren Cheneys corner kick was headed down at the far post by Shannon Boxx. Goalkeeper Erika Miranda made the save but deected the ball to Heath, whose looping header was her fifth career U.S. national team goal. Costa Rica, outscored 34-0 in the seven previous games against the U.S., nearly tied the game after a giveaway by Buehler set up Fernanda Barrantes with a clean look from 15 yards in the 20th minute, forcing Solo to the ground to make the save. Then, in the 27th, came the play that nearly changed the game. Carol Sanchez launched the 30-yarder that clanged off the frame at the intersection of the post and the crossbar. With Solo on the ground, Buehler fought off Barrantes to keep the striker from getting the rebound with a clean shot at the net.

Children among 74 dead in two days of Syrian turmoil

By Bassem Mroue and Zeina Karam
BEIRUT Two days of bloody turmoil in Syria killed at least 74 people, including small children, as forces loyal to President Bashar Assad shelled residential buildings and red on crowds in a dramatic escalation of violence, activists said Friday. Video posted online showed the bodies of ve small children, ve women and a man, all bloodied and piled on beds in what appeared to be an apartment after a building was hit in the city of Homs. A narrator said an entire family had been slaughtered. Much of the violence was focused in Homs, where heavy gunfire hammered the city Friday in a second day of chaos. A day earlier, the city saw a are-up of sectarian kidnappings and killings between its Sunni and Alawite communities, and pro-regime forces blasted residential buildings with mortars and gunre, according to activists. At least 384 children have been killed, as of Jan. 7, in the crackdown on Syrias uprising since it began nearly 11 months ago, the U.N. childrens agency UNICEF said Friday. The count, based on reports from human rights groups, included children under age 18. Most of the deaths took place in Homs and most of the victims were boys, UNICEF said. It said 380 children have been detained, including some under age 14. The United Nations estimates that more than 5,400 people have died in the turmoil. The U.N. Security Council met in a closeddoor session to discuss the crisis, which diplomats said was a step toward a possible U.N. resolution against the Damascus regime. However, any resolution faces strong opposition from China and Russia, and both nations have veto power. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said Friday that Moscow will oppose any resolution because it does not exclude the possibili-

ty of outside military interference. The Syrian uprising, which began last March with mostly peaceful protests, has become increasingly violent in recent months as army defectors clash with government forces and some protesters take up arms to protect themselves. The violence has inamed the sectarian divide in the country, where members of Assads Alawite sect dominate the regime despite a Sunni Muslim majority. Activists said at least 35 people were killed in Homs on Thursday and another 39 people were killed across the country Friday. The video posted Friday by activists showed the bodies of ve young children, their faces bloodied, wrapped in orange plastic bags. It said the children were believed to be from two families, the Akras and the Bahadours. Brown cardboard placards with the childrens names written in Arabic were placed on their chests, identifying them: Thanaa, Ali, Najm, Abdul-Ghani and Sidra. The video could not be independently veried. Hilal Khashan, a political science professor at the American University of Beirut, said the spike in violence was linked to increasing pressure from the international community, the Arab League and the United Nations. The regime is trying to nish the matter through military means as soon as possible, and for that reason the level of violence
increased, he said. On Tuesday, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem insisted that Damascus will continue its crackdown and said Syria would not accept any international interference in its affairs. Assads regime claims terrorists acting out a foreign conspiracy by the U.S., Israel and Gulf Arab countries are behind the uprising, not protesters seeking change. The head of Arab League observers in Syria said in a statement that violence in the country has spiked over the past few days. Sudanese Gen. Mohammed Ahmed al-Dabi said the cities of Homs, Hama and Idlib have all witnessed a very high escalation in violence since Tuesday. A fierce military campaign was also under way in the Hamadiyeh district of Hama since the early hours of Friday, according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and other activists. They said the sound of heavy machine-gun re and loud explosions reverberated across the area. Some activists reported seeing uncollected bodies in the streets of Hama. Elsewhere, a car bomb exploded Friday at a checkpoint outside the northern city of Idlib, the Observatory said, citing witnesses. The number of casualties was not immediately clear. Details of the wave of killings in Homs emerged Friday from an array of residents and activists There has been a terrifying massacre, Rami Abdul-Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told the AP on Friday. He called for an independent investigation. Thursday started with a spate of sectarian kidnappings and killings between the citys population of Sunnis and Alawites, a Shiite sect to which Assad belongs as well as most of his security and military leadership, said Mohammad Saleh, a centrist opposition gure and resident of Homs.

Miss Bala
Gerardo Naranjos film gives tense look at border violence
By Christy Lemire
Gerardo Naranjo may have made the least-glamorous movie ever about a pageant queen with Miss Bala. And thats what makes it so beautiful. With long, uid takes that create a mesmerizing tension, the Mexican director and writer initially draws us into a world of youthful optimism, one which ends up being wildly unpredictable and increasingly desperate. Miss Bala is Mexicos entry in the foreign-language lm category at the Academy Awards and, sadly, it couldnt be more relevant in depicting the brutal violence plaguing Mexicos northern border areas. At its center is the gorgeous, leggy Stephanie Sigman, a former model making her striking lm debut. Naranjo doesnt let us see her face at the lms start; he shoots her from the back or the side, her dark, wavy hair obscuring her features. But when she nally turns around and ashes a smile totally natural, with no makeup and speaks in her playful, husky voice, shes radiant. Sigman stars as Laura Guerrero, a young woman still living at home with her father and brother outside Tijuana who hopes to be crowned the next Miss Baja California. (The title is a play on words: bala means bullet in Spanish.) Her tacky, clingy dress and chipped ngernails tell us everything we need to know about the disparity between the life she lives and the one to which she aspires. Laura goes to a club with her best friend, a fellow contestant who insists they could meet some guys with connections there who might help them win. Instead, she nds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, as gang members shoot the place up while targeting some DEA agents who are partying there. Laura escapes briey but shes seen too much, and ends up becoming their captive pawn. The groups leader is the wily Lino (a subtly menacing Noe Fernandez), whos been terrorizing northern Mexico with his minions while working the angles across the United States border, as well. Lino at rst forces Laura to run a few errands; in exchange, he will (allegedly) try and nd out what happened to her friend, whos

n Saturday, Jan. 28, I will be at my school, Aragon High School, helping run the rst Aragon-Mills Model United Nations Conference. After a long eight months of planning, my colleagues and I will nally see our plan to run a Model United Nations conference put into action. And though today is certainly a moment of gratication and relief, it is also a bittersweet moment. Model United Nations is an educational program which aims to teach students not only about the problems facing the international community but also debate problemsolving skills. Many high schools, including several local high schools in San Mateo County, have Model United Nations clubs. The clubs attend conferences where students represent the views of differing countries while debating on how to best solve international issues. By taking the position of different countries, students are able to look at international issues from perspectives separate from that of the United States. For example, rather than thinking about the problem of child labor as a student raised in the United States, a student would be asked to think about the child labor in the context as a representative of Bangladesh or the Ivory Coast. Usually, Model United Nations conferences are hosted by professional organizations or college Model United Nations teams. This past year, however, many students at both Aragon High School and Mills High School envisioned hosting a conference run by local high schools.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM
Sept.29,1979 part of the series drawn by Charles M.Schulz on Title IX,highlighting the issue of females in sports.
By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
PEANUTS AND TITLE IX. June 23, 2012 marks the 40th anniversary of the passage of Title IX, legislation that ensures equal access for both men and women to federally funded educational programs and activities, including sports. Leveling the Playing Field, an exhibition at the Charles M. Schulz Museum & Research Center in Santa Rosa, commemorates this milestone in sports history while adding the hilarity of Peanuts to the tribute. From the earliest days in Peanuts, Schulzs girl characters were active in many sports, from football to figure skating. Although not always stellar athletes after all, who can forget Lucys ineptitude in the right field or Marcies total bewilderment with sports of all kinds the girls were equal participants. In 1979, after Schulz met tennis great Billie Jean King, he highlighted the issue of girls in sports with a multi-day storyline about Title IX and how it, and the issues connected to it, were viewed by the inhabitants of the Peanuts world. Leveling the Playing Field details Schulzs friendship with King, his connections in the world of womens sports and his early years coaching a local womens softball team. The exhibit shows 86 original Peanuts comic strips, provides
an overview of womens sports history and displays examples of womens sports attire from the 1880s to the present. Beyond this special exhibit, the permanent installations at the Charles M. Schulz Museum include a fascinating array of artifacts and areas that illuminate the personal and professional life of this creative and generous artist, among them: Sparkys Studio. Charles M. Schulzs studio was the center of his working life a refuge, a place where he often talked with friends and fellow cartoonists ... and the place where he created Peanuts. Wrapped Snoopy House. In 1978, after Environmental Artist Christo installed his visionary Running Fence in Sonoma and Marin Counties, Schulz drew an episode in which Snoopys doghouse is wrapped in fabric by Christo. In response, Christo wrapped the popular beagles house in tarpaulin, polyethylene and ropes and presented it to the Charles M. Schulz Museum in 2003, stating, Snoopys doghouse is a size perfect for a beagle, but not too small, so that it is appropriate for the international star quality of Snoopy. Nursery Wall. In 1951, Schulz drew members of the Peanuts Gang and other childrens book characters on his daughters nursery wall in their Colorado Springs home. More than 50 years later, this historic wall was transferred to the Schulz
Museum to be on permanent display. Peanuts Tile Mural. The Tile Mural covers the south wall of the Great Hall and features an image of Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown. It is composed of 3,588 Peanuts comic strip images printed on individual 2- by 8-inch ceramic tiles. Snoopy Labyrinth. Walking through this one-of-a-kind labyrinth outside the front entrance of the Museum, visitors can contemplate the beautiful Museum grounds and building as they wander through Snoopys head. Dont worry about getting losttheres only one way in and one way out. The Charles M. Schulz Museum opened in August 2002 to fulfill its mission of preserving, displaying and interpreting the art of Charles M. Schulz. The Museum carries out this mission through changing exhibitions and programming that build an understanding of cartoonists and cartoon art; illustrate the scope of Schulzs multi-faceted career; communicate the stories, inspirations and influences of Charles Schulz; and celebrate the life of Charles Schulz and the Peanuts characters. Museum Director Karen Johnson said, We continue to tell the story of the man who created Peanuts, from his childhood and those that influenced his career to how his art continues to enrich the world
through the laughter and wisdom of his characters. The Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center is located at 2301 Hardies Lane, Santa Rosa, California. The Museum provides a wide variety of programs and presentations throughout the year, and on the second Saturday of each month from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. visitors can meet and discuss cartooning with a professional cartoonist in an informal and conversational setting. Visitors may view some of Schulzs favorite movies, which run in a 100-seat theater. There is a gift shop on site. For information about days and hours of operation, visit www.schulzmuseum.org or call (707) 579-4452. Leveling the Playing Field runs through Aug. 12. FOR A SNOOPY SNACK. Just a few hundred yards from the Museum is Snoopys Home Ice, the Redwood Empire Ice Arena, with its Warm Puppy caf, offering home baked goodies, soups, daily specials, fresh salads and sandwiches. Snoopys Gallery & Gift Shop next door features a wide range of Peanuts products. 1667 W. Steele Lane, Santa Rosa. (707) 546-7147.

Friend says Moore was convulsing on 911 call

LOS ANGELES Demi Moore smoked something before she was rushed to the hospital on Monday night and was convulsing and semi-conscious, barely, according to a caller on a frantic 911 recording released Friday by Los Angeles re ofcials. The woman tells emergency operators that Moore, 49, had been having issues lately. Is she breathing normal? the operator asks. No, not so normal. More kind of shaking, convulsing, burning up, the friend says as she hurries to Moores side, on the edge of panic. The recording captures the 10 minutes it took paramedics to arrive as friends gather around the collapsed star and try to comfort her as she trembles and shakes. Another woman is next to Moore as the dispatcher asks if shes responsive. Demi, can you hear me? she asks. Yes, shes squeezing hands. ... She cant speak. When the operator asks what Moore ingested or smoked, the friend replies, but the answer was redacted.

n the years that followed 9/11, there was much debate about what to do with the area at Ground Zero how to rectify the loss and create a new land-use plan for the site, while simultaneously providing a memorial to the tragedy and a rebirth to the area of Lower Manhattan. In 2003, a widelypublicized, international design competition was held to select the design for a new national memorial at Ground Zero. The response was tremendous; the selected plan was designed by Michael Arad and Peter Walker. On Sept. 11, 2011, the 9/11 Memorial was dedicated in a special ceremony for victims families, and as of Sept. 12, 2011, it is open
to the public. The Memorial covers an eight-acre area of Lower Manhattan, centered by two enormous reecting pools in the footprints of where the Twin Towers once stood. Names of loved ones lost in the attacks are engraved on bronze along the Memorial pools; on the memorial website, a program can help you locate a specic name. Though visitor passes for the memorial are free, visitors must reserve a ticket and specific visiting time on the 9/11 Memorial website. However, the organization will make every attempt to accommodate family members of victims, and there is even a separate reservation procedure
for family members. VirtualTourist.com members noted that, due to heavy security at the site, similar to TSA checkpoints at U.S. airports, visitors should arrive 10 minutes before their designated ticket time. While the tickets have assigned times, there is no limit to the length of your stay at the memorial. Entry to the 9/11 Memorial is at the corner of Albany St. and Greenwich St. The 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Center Albany St. at Greenwich St. New York, NY 10006 http://www.911memorial.org/

MARK KITAOKA
Jackson Davis, Paul Whitworth, James Carpenter and Nicholas Pelczar in the West Coast Premiere of Lee Halls The Pitmen Painters at TheatreWorks.
Sometimes, Im in wonderment at what true stuff of life becomes the subject or plot for successful plays. Artistic director and co-founder of TheatreWorks Robert Kelley never fails to bring to the West Coast very mature plays with social merit, the kind that local community theaters dare not touch for potential loss of audience Certainly, near the top of the list would be the unlikely true story of humble and mostly uneducated miners from the pits of Northern England coal mines who become sophisticated in world art and produce admirable paintings. In the hands of playwright Lee Hall, whose understanding of the hard-working and proud people of Northern England, rst exhibited and made famous with the 2000 movie hit Billy Elliot, one is irresistibly drawn into an unfamiliar culture with an English dialect that demands constant attention by American ears. The ability of these American performers to master this dialect was testied to by a U.K.born friend who attended the performance with me. A remarkable job. The story revisits the questions about how art may transform even the most lowly of economic classes and how much talent is untapped in such environments, demonstrated again and again in the suppression of African-Americans in our own country. It is based on a group of miners and one dental technician in the 1930s and 1940s in the Northumberland town of Ashington who rst came together in 1934 in an art appreciation class sponsored by the Workers Educational Association. Feeling that slide lectures in the history of art were not coming across to the sparely educated miners, who routinely had entered digging in the coal pits as far back as preteens, the lecturer assigned them to do art that has feelings and drawn from their own experiences and over a period of time. These assignments became worthy of exhibitions and the group became famous in the art world of mid-century England. From a playwrights point of view, such dramatizations become very talky. But the skills and appeal of these cast members all Actors Equity performers some of the Bay Areas nest, holds the audiences attention. Paul Whitworth is Robert Lyon, the patient art appreciation lecturer. James Carpenter is George Brown, the rigid by the book shop steward, who is the self-appointed leader of the
group. Dan Hiatt is Harry Wilson, who sees Marxism in all visions of the art. Jackson Davis is the uncertain Jimmy Floyd, Nicholas Pelczar as a naive young lad and Patrick Jones is Oliver Kilbourn, the most naturally talented of the group who grasps the attention of the aristocratic art collector Helen Sutherland played by Marcia Pizzo. Kathryn Zdan is the unembarrassed nude model Susan, who shakes up the Puritan roots of even the lower middle class mine workers Class consciousness underlies the story as Oliver turns down a stipend from Helen Sutherland that would have freed him from the dangerous burden of mine work to concentrate on a painting career. This is because he is reluctant to leave the friends, culture and class that had been the underpinning of his life. The play addresses the universal question, what is art and what is its value in life? By the end of the play, these hardly educated men are discoursing on these questions and critiquing the styles and merits of ancient and modern as if graduates of famous art schools, never letting their yearning for brotherhood slip from their minds. The story is carried through to 1947 when the miners are celebrating the arrival of the National Health Service and the nationalization and humanization of the mines in which they toiled, in contrast to the sad ending of Billy Elliot where the unions were busted. The challenges for Andrea Bechert, the scenic designer that covers the bare classroom, the Sutherland mansion and London art galleries were met with some creative settings, lighting by Stephen B. Mannshardt and wonderful projections of the art being discussed by Jim Gross. The direction by Leslie Martinson catches the spirit of the era perfectly. Good production and recommended. ed attendance level lower than I had hoped. Thus, a week before the conference, I felt as if I had somehow failed in gaining attraction for it. After talking to many club members as well as Aragons club advisor, however, I have changed that view. Somewhere along the planning process, I had come to believe that a successful conference was dictated by the number of participants who attended. In reality, however, I was mistaken. A successful conference is dependent on much more than just attendance. I can still make this conference a success. Thanks to my friends and colleagues, I approached my problem from a different view. And just how students in Model United Nations come to approach issues from different perspectives, I have come to approach my challenges in creating a successful Model United Nations conference from a different perspective. Thus, today, though the turnout of the Aragon Mills Model United Nations Conference may not be as high as I had wished, I will continue to pursue my goal of hosting a successful conference.

STUDENT
Nations club, and I, president of Aragons Model United Nations club, agreed there was a need for more local Model United Nations conferences on the Peninsula so Bay Area students could have more experience to practice their speaking and debate skills. Thus, the Aragon-Mills Model United Nations Conference was born. Putting an actual conference into action was much more work than anticipated. Students from Aragon as well as Mills had to invite schools from across the Bay, prepare all logistical aspects of running a conference and do indepth research on various topics. Moreover, conferences tend to be large events with hundreds of students. Although I had no intention to host a conference as large as those hosted by students at Stanford University or UC Berkeley, I certainly had grand views of the Aragon-Mills conference. As the conference date approached, however, I realized that my naivet in holding such a grand view. Placed unfortunately on the same date as the SAT, the conference had an expect-

Yet she never turns into a superhero, and her actions always seem plausibly instinctive. But knowing even a little bit more about her who she truly is, what drives her might have sucked us into her story even more, engaged us with greater emotion.

gi of legendary Hollywood horseman Glenn Randall, who trained Roy Rogers Trigger. Thanks to the enduring appeal of horses on screen, Lovgren, Finder and War Horse continue a longtime tradition of Hollywood horses that began with the earliest motion pictures. Bobby and his team literally performed miracles with the horses on this lm, Spielberg said. I wanted it to feel like the horses were performing their parts as much as (actors) Emily Watson or Peter Mullan, and that is what happened. There were times during production when the horses reacted in ways I had never imagined a horse could react. You just sit back and thank your lucky stars that these horses are so cognizant that they are able to give everything to a moment. inclusion of a system that will give some automakers credit toward their zeroemission vehicle mandate for exceeding federal greenhouse gas emissions standards in other cars. These credits, which can be used to reduce the number of clean vehicles made, can be used from 2018-2021. Some called it a loophole that will take hundreds of thousands of clean cars off the road, hurting the emerging market for these vehicles. This is a temporary way station, Nichols said about the credits. But by 2021 all companies will be producing the full complement of zero-emission vehicles. Trade groups representing auto dealers worried that the new regulations would increase the costs of vehicles for consumers and stifle the industrys growth. The California New Car Dealers Association and other industry groups representing those who sell cars said the board is overestimating consumer demand for electric vehicles and other so-called zero-emission vehicles. Dealers are concerned that the regulations will lead to higher costs in all cars, and say consumers have been slow to warm to electric and other zero-emission vehicles. Board member Sandra Berg, who said she drives the all-electric Nissan Leaf, said before the vote that regulators need to take consumer behavior and choice brings you right to the register as you pass stacks of 50-pound white and red bags of potatoes, and up to a sign posted to the left of the register stating from where todays potatoes have come. We sell freshness, Kumar said. Everything is done fresh, from the meat to the produce. As for their prime location, Kumar explained that he is hoping the restaurant can co-exist with competitors like the Burger Joint, just down the road. We are just hoping to be as successful as possible and are excited to be a part of the Burlingame community, Kumar said. With the newly developed site at tution in the future. According to prosecutors, on July 15, 2010, Rogelio Adonay Gastelum, then 19, and Medina, then 14, mistakenly believed one of four men leaving the Project 90 treatment program near downtown San Mateo were Sureos because he wore a blue shirt. One of the defendants allegedly yelled and ashed Norteo signs before they assaulted the 21-year-old man and another. The victim was stabbed seven times in the torso and required emergency surgery to survive. to issue nes without the approval of the commission. The citation program, approved in December, is one of a number of changes the agency has made in response to the September 2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion, which killed eight people, injured scores of others Those moments took months of training and a 22-member team of trainers, handlers and yes, equine makeup artists. Set in England during World War I, War Horse centers on the enduring relationship between Joey and the farm boy who trained him. When Joey is sold to soldiers heading into battle, the horse begins a journey that brings him through various ghting factions and into the lives of soldiers and civilians who are moved by his strength and spirit. The lm has been nominated for six Academy Awards, including cinematography and best picture. As the lms horse master, Lovgren oversaw everything horse-related. His team prepared the equine actors for their various duties. Some became expert jumpers, others learned to stumble or feign a struggle. seriously in this equation. She said a lot of work must be done to educate dealers to sell the new generation of cars. Early adopters (of electric cars) are willing to go without heat to save the miles they need to get to their destination, but that is not going to help grow the consumer base, Berg said, referring to the range issues with some current electric vehicles. The boards research staff disputes the argument from dealers that the mandates for new technology will increase costs for cars. They point to steady increases in hybrid and other sales and argue that fuel cost savings will make up for any vehicle price increase. Our research shows a $1,400 to $1,900 car price increase. But over the life of the vehicles, the owners save $6,000 in reduced fuel and maintenance costs, board spokesman David Clegern said. One of the nations foremost consumer groups, the Consumers Union, the policy and advocacy division of Consumer Reports, supported the changes. The rules will protect consumers by encouraging the development of cleaner, more efcient cars that save families money, help reduce the American economys vulnerability to oil price shocks and reduce harmful air pollution, according to a letter from the group. Primrose Road and Howard Avenue, the city of Burlingame is taking what used to be just a Safeway and Walgreens with a parking lot and creating a shopping center to meet the needs and tastes of both residents and visitors. The development process was a joint effort with community members and Safeway who is the owner of the area Love said. The building in which these new businesses will be moving in will reect some of that community vibe with the outdoor seating and patio area on the rooftop overlooking Primrose Road. People come from all over to walk the streets of Burlingame, Love said. In November, Gastelum, 20, pleaded no contest to assault with a deadly weapon and admitted acting to benet a street gang rather than stand trial for attempted murder and malice. In return, he received a at two-year term with credit for 733 days earned while in custody without bail, resulting in his release.

ACTON One star of Steven Spielbergs latest epic likes to end his work day by rolling around in the dirt, kicking his legs in the air and aring his nostrils. Finder, a 12-year-old thoroughbred, is among more than 150 equine performers featured in the Oscar-nominated War Horse, and one of 14 who play the scene-stealing Joey. He lives on a ranch about 45 miles northeast of Hollywood with veteran horse trainer Bobby Lovgren, who oversaw all the equine action on War Horse. Plowing, riding, chasing you name it, its in there, said Lovgren, who calls War Horse the biggest horse movie ever made. Lovgren is the proti-

Todays vote ... represents a new chapter for clean cars in California and in the nation as a whole, said Mary Nichols, the boards chairman. Californians have always loved their cars. We buy a lot of them and drive them. Now we will have cleaner and more efcient cars to love. Californias auto emissions standards are inuential and often more strict than federal rules. The state began passing regulations for cleaner cars in the 1960s to help ease some of the worlds worst smog, and has since helped spur the auto industrys innovations in emissions-control technology. Currently 14 other states including New York, Washington and Massachusetts have adopted Californias smog emissions rules as their own. California has also previously set zero-emissions vehicle mandates, which 10 other states have also currently adopted. Companies including Ford Motor Corp., Chrysler Group LLC, General Motors Co., Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. and others submitted testimony Thursday supportive of the new standards. Some of the companies protested the

SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 2012 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Sharing is the
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Yes, you need to fend
operative word for you. This not only includes your friendships and romantic relationships, but in every interaction you have. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Even though you might learn about something from friends that will not sit well, try not to make too much of it. Chances are itll come out that it wasnt true anyway. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Its important that you go after what you want, instead of wishing that things would come to you. Others dont know what you desire; you need to figure that out for yourself.
for yourself, but that doesnt mean you can bully your way to what you want without suffering the consequences. Try working for things. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- As long as you can maintain leadership and do what you want, everything will be fine. However, if you are challenged or opposed in any way, you could be quite disruptive. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be careful not to bank on strengths that you lack, be they physical or mental. You might have only a slight edge in your commercial dealings rather than the grand lead you imagine. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Usually your sound logic
prevents you from becoming emotional over little things, but currently the opposite could be true. Try not to make any decision based on sentiment or passion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Left to your normal, hard-working ways, all will be fine. However, if you give in to outside, unproductive influences, defeatist principles could quickly beat you down. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont get involved with any cliques or groups that do not appreciate who and what you are -- thats a waste of your time. Spend your day only with those who have something good to offer. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You should never discount the opposition, especially in matters of
personal importance, such as career, reputation or physical health. The odds may not be in your favor. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Its best not to take as gospel any lavish promises made to you, especially if they involve items of personal importance. Theres a good chance they could just consist of hollow rhetoric. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You dont need any extra pressure placed, so dont take on another long-range obligation if you can avoid it. Get your old responsibilities cleared away before you tackle any more projects. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Bomber kills 33 at Shiite funeral in Iraq

By Barbara Surk
Around the world

St. Louis hosts first big parade on Iraq Wars end
ST. LOUIS Since the Iraq War ended there has been little fanfare for the veterans returning home. No ticker-tape parades. No massive, ag-waving public celebrations. So, two friends from St. Louis decided to change that. They sought donations, launched a Facebook page, met with the mayor and mapped a route. On Saturday, hundreds of veterans are expected to march in downtown St. Louis in the nations rst big welcome home parade since the last troops left Iraq in December. It struck me that there was this debate going on as to whether there should or shouldnt be a parade, said Tom Appelbaum, one of the organizers. Instead of waiting around for somebody somewhere to say, Yes, lets have a parade, we said, Lets just do it. Appelbaum, a 46-year-old lawyer, and Craig Schneider, a 41-year-old school technology coordinator, said they were puzzled by the lack of celebrations marking the wars end.
BAGHDAD A suicide car bomber struck a Shiite funeral procession Friday, killing 33 people as suspected al-Qaida militants stepped up apparent efforts to provoke a counterattack by Shiite militias on Sunnis that could pave the way toward open sectarian warfare now that U.S. troops have left Iraq. The powerful blast the second deadliest attack in Iraq this month set nearby stores and cars ablaze alongside scattered esh and mutilated bodies. It shattered windows and damaged walls in the local hospital, wounding a nurse and four patients; Within minutes, the hospital was scrambling to treat scores of others. It was a huge explosion, said Salam Hussein, who was watching the funeral procession from his grocery store. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack in the predominantly Shiite neighborhood of Zafaraniyah in southwestern Baghdad. But the bombing resembled previous attacks by al-Qaida in Iraq. Minutes after the explosion, gunmen opened re at a checkpoint in Zafaraniyah, killing two police ofcers, according to police ofcials. All ofcials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters. More than 200 people have been killed in bombings and shootings since the U.S. military withdrew from Iraq on Dec. 18. Many of the dead have been Shiite pilgrims and Iraqi police and soldiers. Al-Qaida and other Sunni extremist groups are thought to be exploiting sectarian tensions in the wake of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri alMalikis efforts to marginalize the Sunni minority and cement his own grip on power. Al-Malikis security forces have launched a widespread crackdown against Sunni politicians, detaining hundreds for alleged ties to the deposed Baath Party. Vice President Tareq

al-Hashemi, a Sunni, ed to the safety of the Kurdish semiautonomous zone after he was charged with running death squads during the height of the war. The attacks are a reaction to political developments in Iraq, said Mustafa Alani, a Geneva-based analyst and an Iraq expert with the Gulf Research Center. The Sunnis feel the Shiites are squeezing them out of the government, and militants see the sectarian tensions in politics as a golden opportunity to reactivate their terror campaign. The U.S. soldiers are gone, Sunni politicians are being marginalized and while most Sunnis will not support the militants at the expense of being part of the political process, the attackers know that most Sunnis wont condemn violent acts either, Alani said. Hadi Jalo, a Baghdad-based political analyst said the attacks could be a provocation by Sunni militants, trying to draw governmentbacked Shiite militias back into a sectarian ght. Those behind these attacks know that there are a number of organized Shiite armed groups who can strike back in Sunni areas to renew the tit-for-tat killings, Jalo said. Fridays car bomb killed 33 people, including eight policemen, according to police and officials at Zafaraniyah General Hospital. Sixty-ve people were wounded, including 16 members of the security forces, they said. Baghdad military spokesman Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi gave different gures in an interview with the U.S.-funded Al-Hurra television. He said 11 people were killed, including eight policemen who were protecting the funeral, and 45 were wounded.
Cruise ship victims mull $14,460 compensation deal

ROME How much is it worth to suffer through a terrifying cruise ship grounding? Italian ship operator Costa Crociere SpA on Friday put the figure at (euro) 11,000 ($14,460) plus reimbursement for the cost of cruise tickets and extra travel expenses, seeking to cut a deal with as many passengers as possible to take the wind out of class-action lawsuits stemming from the Jan. 13 grounding of its Costa Concordia cruise liner off Tuscany. But many passengers are refusing to accept the deal, saying they cant yet put a gure on the costs of the trauma they endured. And lawyers are backing them up, telling passengers its far too soon to know how peoples lives and livelihoods might be affected by the experience.
Israel proposing West Bank barrier as border

By Mohammed Daraghmeh and Dan Perry
RAMALLAH, West Bank Israel is proposing to essentially turn its West Bank separation barrier into the border with a future state of Palestine, two Palestinian ofcials said Friday, based on their interpretation of principles Israel presented in talks this week. The officials said Israeli envoy Yitzak Molcho told his Palestinian counterpart that Israel wants to keep east Jerusalem and consolidate Jewish settlements behind the separation barrier, which slices close to 10 percent off the West Bank. They spoke on condition of anonymity, citing strict no-leaks rules by Jordanian mediators. The proposal would fall short of what the Palestinians seem likely to accept, especially because it would leave Jerusalem on the Israeli side of the border. But it would also mark a signicant step for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has spent most of his career as a staunch opponent of Palestinian independence. And if talks advance in such a direction, it could also spell the end for his nationalist coalition, where key members would consider the
abandonment of most of the West Bank a strategic highland and biblical heartland an unforgivable betrayal. Israel has conrmed that it presented principles this week for drawing a border with a Palestinian state. But the politically charged nature of the talks even though they were held at a relatively low level, below that of Cabinet ministers was reected in the guarded refusal by any top ofcial to discuss details. An Israeli government ofcial said that as far as he knew, the information was incorrect, but declined to elaborate or go on the record, citing Jordans demand for discretion. Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor, one of the closest Cabinet ministers to Netanyahu, said he has been supporting such an offer for months, and that Israel should concentrate on preserving the large West Bank settlement blocs, close to the pre-1967 border. But he could not conrm whether the offer was in fact made. I do not know if (Molcho) said these words exactly, but it would be great, Meridor told the Associated Press. The Palestinian ofcials one a senior member of the leadership said Molcho told the Palestinians that Israel wants to live peacefully beside a Palestinian state.
