Just a year after plunking down $40 million for a pair of ofce buildings aimed at freeing the county from costly leases, the Board of Supervisors might lease out one of the facilities as a way to make ends meet. County Manager John Maltbie will bring the board a more eshed-out plan at a later date but suggested the board ll one building with county departments
while aggressively trying to lease the north building. Doing so could bring in $1 million the rst year, then $2 million each of the next four years. Maltbie said the county could have John the south building Maltbie filled by the fall, leaving Supervisor Dave Pine bristling

Romney rebounds
By David Espo and Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. Mitt Romney routed Newt Gingrich in the Florida primary Tuesday night, rebounding smartly from an earlier defeat and taking a major step toward the Republican presidential nomination. Gingrich vowed to press on despite the one-sided setback Romney, talking unity like a nominee, said he was ready to take the Republican helm and lead this party and our nation. In remarks to cheering supporters, the former Massachusetts governor unleashed a strong attack on Democratic President Barack Obama and said the competitive ght for the GOP nomination does not divide us, it prepares us for the fall campaign. Mr. President, you were elected to lead, you chose to follow, and now its time to get out of the way, he declared. Returns from 98 percent of Floridas precincts showed Romney with 46 percent of the vote to 32 percent for Gingrich, the former House speaker. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum had 13 percent, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul 7 percent. Neither mounted a substantial effort in the state. For the rst time in the campaign, exit polls showed a gender gap, and it worked to Romneys advantage. He was leading Gingrich 52-28

SACRAMENTO Cities that had community redevelopment agencies eliminated by the Legislature would be able to spend the money they had set aside for affordable housing under a bill that passed the state Senate on Tuesday. Lawmakers acted as time ran out for the roughly 400 agencies, which were created after World War II as a way to help blighted neighborhoods. Last year, lawmakers eliminated the agencies, effective Feb. 1. That decision was upheld by the state Supreme Court, which found the Legislature had the authority to end the agencies and use their property tax money for schools, law enforcement and other local services. Doing so will save the money in the general fund, giving the Legislature more spending freedom. An effort by some cities to delay the deadline or work with lawmakers on a compromise that might have saved redevelopment agencies zzled. Instead, the Senate approved SB654 by President Pro Tem

the cause of the first. Columbus will also pay a penalty of $685,446. The federal settlement is just the latest for Columbia which also paid $850,000 in fines to San Mateo County in 2011. In 2009, following the twin releases, the EPA also ordered Columbus to finish initial upgrades to its ammonia refrigeration system, including replacing any corroding safety valves and properly labeling piping. Columbus is responsible for letting plumes of poisonous gas escape into the open air, said Jared Blumenfeld, EPAs regional administrator for the Pacific Southwest, in an announcement of the settlement. Columbus first accidentally released 217 pounds of ammonia in February 2009. Six months, another 200-pound cloud of anhydrous ammonia was released, leading to the closure of streets and the evacuation of all employees and several neighboring businesses. Roughly 30 people downwind at the Genentech campus sought medical care and 17 were hospitalized. One remained there four days. Anhydrous ammonia is considered a poisonous gas which can cause temporary blindness and eye damage and irritation of the skin, throat and mucous membranes. Prolonged exposure can lead to serious lung damage and even death. Columbus refrigeration system contained more than 500 pounds of ammonia. Aside from violating the Clean Air Act, Columbus was hit for failing to follow Californias Accidental Release Prevention, known as CalARP, regulations. CalARP requires businesses that possess hazardous materials to register with the San Mateo County Environmental Health Services Division; study the potential impact the release of the substance could have on employees and the area; and establish procedures and training regarding the installation, maintenance and operation of the equipment. The San Mateo County complaint alleged Columbus failed to perform a hazard analysis; develop and implement safety protocols; properly train employees; update safety information; perform pre-startup safety review of new equipment; update the risk management plan; and notify the Environmental Health Services Division of plans to modify equipment. Additionally, Columbus did not report all the details required from the August leak. Fallon said the new emergency system includes sensors that detect lower level ammonia leaks and automatically notify first responders in San Mateo County.

Scared of love
A woman reported a love note was given to her by an unknown male on Woodside Road in Redwood City before 4:50 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26.
A South San Francisco salami factory who twice released 200 pounds of ammonia in 2009, hospitalizing more than a dozen, will pay nearly $700,000 for Clean Air Act violations and spend $6 million to update its refrigeration system. Columbus Manufacturing Inc., which operates a manufacturing facility at 493 Forbes Ave. in South San Francisco, agreed to the penalties and upgrades as part of a settlement with the Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency. The resolution prevents future violations and risks to public safety by requiring the company to improve its refrigeration technology to one using glycol and ammonia and upgrade its emergency notification system, said Ignacia S. Moreno, assistant attorney general of the Environment and Natural Resources Division at the Department of Justice. Columbus was not required to install as high level a refrigeration system as it did by the EPA but did so of its own will, said CEO Tim Fallon. We were aggressively proactive with all the agencies and overbuilt the system, if you will. Its a fail-safe system designed to be state of the art, Fallon said. Fallon chalked up the second release to a third-party contractor hired to fix

The California Department of Public Health said the ne levied against Seton Medical Center was the most severe penalty allowed under state law. The citation was issued after a nurse at the facility left the cap on a breathing tube that was inserted into the trachea of an 81-year-old woman. The woman suffocated and died. State ofcials said the hospital received the maximum penalty because it did not have a policy for properly inserting the device, known as a T-piece.

A Yoga mat maker in Southern California made a sweeping apology to the Hindu community yesterday for its use of images of the Lord Ganesha on its products. Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, received the apology from William Cawley, co-owner of Yogamatic, a company based in Santa Monica that allows its clients to customize the mats with their own art or other images. Yogamatics Cawley, however, told the Daily Journal yesterday that Zed actually made the announcement about the Rajan Zed apology before contacting the company. He made the announcement that we agreed to take down the images and I discovered it online, Cawley said. He didnt contact us until after he made the announcement. It was a clever ploy on his part. After hearing out Zed, however, Cawley said his company had no problem removing the items from its website. The Daily Journal reported yesterday that Zed is also urging Foster City-based company CafePress, which customizes a variety of products, to also stop using the images of Ganesha, Vishnu, Kali, Shiva and other Hindu gods on their wares that show the deities in scenes Zed considers inappropriate. One CafePress product shows Ganesha with a microphone in one of its many hands and a vinyl record in another hand under the caption Disco Fever. Zed has taken his quest to restore the dignity of Hindu gods around the globe as he has urged companies such as Yogistar in Germany to also stop using images of Hindu deities on its products. Yogistar has since taken the images down, Zed said. Redwood Shores-based Zazzle.com also sells skateboards with images of Ganesha on them to which Zed objects. Images of the gods should not be stepped on or sat on, he said. Yesterday, Cawley told the Daily Journal that a Yogamatic product with an image of Ganesha on it was on the company website for about four years. We didnt sell very many of them but we also did not get hundreds of complaints about the image either, Cawley said. It is the companys policy to remove images that might be offensive, he said. In the email to Zed, Cawley writes: Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention. The mats have been duly removed. There are millions of Ganesha products available on the Internet and the contributor of this mat supplied the design in good faith. Please accept our apologies to the Hindu community.

Zed, based in Reno, Nev., told the Daily Journal yesterday he was pleased with Yogamatics response. They showed maturity in their decision, Zed said. Trivialization of the deities is disrespectful to a billion Hindus across the world, he said. Hindus are for free artistic expression and speech as much as anybody else if not more. But faith was something sacred and attempts at trivializing it hurt the followers, Zed said. CafePress could not be reached for comment yesterday but offered the following response Monday: We regret any problems or concerns caused by the images in question, however, at this point we have not been contacted directly in regards to any specic images. If we do receive questions about the images we will review and determine whether they abide by our content usage policy. CafePress has still not received a formal complaint about any of its products that contain images of Hindu deities, it told the Daily Journal yesterday. As of now, we have not received a formal complaint about the images or products in question. We are making every effort to determine which specic product and designs the complaint refers to and review them against our policies. Our current catalog of user-generated merchandise now tops over 300 million unique products, so while we are making every effort to review the content in question, without more specic product details it may take some time for us to complete the review process. We do apologize for any problems or concerns caused by the images in question, and will make every effort to take appropriate action up to and including a removal of images or products, if our review of the images indicates a violation of policy by our users, the company responded to the Daily Journal by email.

Competency questioned for murder suspect Brown reports $1.7M Man alleged to have killed other near Mills High School for his tax campaign
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The man facing trial for allegedly killing a romantic rival near a Millbrae high school in 2010 might not be mentally fit to aid in his own defense, according to his attorney. Laungatasi Samana Ahio, 21, has already pleaded not guilty to murder and weapons charges in the Aug. 4, 2010 death of Jared Afu, 19. He appeared in court for a pretrial conference, possibly to conrm the March 12 trial date, but instead defense attorney Edward Pomeroy expressed a doubt to his clients competent to stand trial. Judge Craig Parsons put criminal proceedings on hold and appointed two doctors to evaluate Ahio. Those reports due March 16 will determine if Ahio will be tried and possibly incarcerated
or be hospitalized in a state facility until doctors there deem him competent. Ahio, then 20, is accused of stabbing Afu several times in the face and neck just before midnight. Authorities found Laungatasi Afu near the tennis Ahio courts of Mills High School and soon pronounced him dead but Ahio remained at large until the following evening when he turned himself in to the South San Francisco Police Department. Earlier that night, police said Ahio began following Afu as he walked and smoked with friends. At some point, Ahio and Afu became separated from
their respective friends and confronted each other over a personal issue. Afus friends reported seeing him stabbed by Ahio around 11:30 p.m. The next afternoon, a bloodied backpack containing identification and a bloody knife was discovered a block from the school, on the side of the New Vision United Methodist Church on Chadbourne Avenue. Authorities have suggested Ahio killed Afu over jealousy involving a girlfriend who he was convicted in July 2010 of battering. Prosecutors charged Ahio with murder, the use of a knife and the special allegation of lying in wait which makes him eligible for life in prison without parole or the death penalty. Ahio remains in custody on no-bail status.

A Redwood City driver who fatally struck a 53-year-old woman with his vehicle and ed the scene, later saying he didnt know hed hit a human being, was sentenced yesterday to time served and community service. In December, Julio Ricardo Montenegro, 58, pleaded no contest to hit-and-run causing death. In return, prosecutors dropped a misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter. On Tuesday, Montenegro received a 132-day jail term with credit for the
same amount earned while in custody in lieu of $25,000 bail. He must also complete 100 hours of uncompensated public service work and serve three years of supervised probation. Montenegros case has sped along since his Sept. 6 arrest, primarily after waiving his right to a speedy trial. Redwood City police arrested him after linking his vehicle to witness descriptions after 53-year-old Nora FuentesArias was found lying on the ground at approximately 7:15 p.m. in the 3000 block of East Bayshore Road in Redwood City. She was pronounced
dead at the scene. A witness reported seeing a vehicle hit Fuentes-Arias and continue driving, according to Redwood City police. Using a description and partial license plate number, police located the truck at Montenegros residence on East Bayshore Road and reported it having damage on the right front corner. Montenegro conceded driving the truck and being involved in a collision but said he didnt know what was struck and that he drove home after seeing nothing behind him, according to the District Attorneys Ofce.
WASHINGTON Some members of Congress want to include executive branch employees in a bill that would ban lawmakers from using nonpublic information to made stock trades. The bill also would require public reporting
of new securities transactions within 30 days, all part of an effort by Congress to boost its dismal approval ratings that are now in the teens. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor told reporters Tuesday that if the bill now before the Senate isnt expanded to include the executive branch, he would add that provision to a bill expected to receive a House vote sometime in
February. A Senate amendment proposed by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., would include the executive branch. Why would this rule not apply to executive employees in the administration? Coburn asked. Actually, parts of the bill already apply, but not the 30-day reporting requirement.

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama hailed the rebound of the U.S. auto industry on Tuesday, trumpeting an economic story he hopes to use to his political advantage in key Rust Belt states such as Michigan and Ohio. In a not-so-veiled shot at Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney, Obama said it was worth remembering that there were some leaders willing to let this industry die. Obama sat inside shiny new plug-in electric hybrids and burly trucks during a quick tour of the Washington Auto Show, declaring, The U.S. auto industry is back. Obama emphasized his administrations rescue of General Motors and Chrysler from the brink of collapse as Romney was surging in Floridas GOP primary, a contest that could bring him a step closer to winning the Republican nomination. The president did not mention Romney by
name, but told reporters it was good to remember the fact that there were some folks who were willing to let this industry die. Because of folks coming together we are now back at a place where we can compete with any car company in the world. Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said the former Massachusetts governor was thrilled to see the companies success but said it was unfortunate that the government rst attempted a bailout, which was precisely as unsuccessful as he predicted, cost taxpayers billions, and left the government improperly entangled in the private sector. For Obama, the auto bailout has been a case study for his efforts to revive the economy and a potential point of contrast with Romney, who opposed Obamas decision to pour billions of dollars into the auto companies. The presidents campaign views the auto storyline as a potent argument against Romney, the son of a Detroit auto executive who later served as Michigan governor.

BEIRUT Syrian troops crushed pockets of rebel soldiers Tuesday on the outskirts of Damascus and the U.N. Security Council took up a draft resolution demanding that President Bashar Assad halt the violence and yield power. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told the Security Council that action to end the violence in Syria would be different from U.N. efforts to pacify Libya. I know that some members here may be concerned that the Security Council is headed toward another Libya, she said. That is a false analogy. It is time for the international community to put aside our own differences and send a
clear message of support to the people of Syria, Clinton said. Russia, one of Assads strongest backers, has signaled it would veto any U.N. action against Damascus, fearing it could open the door to eventual international military involvement, the way an Arabbacked U.N. resolution led to NATO airstrikes in Libya. However, the Arab League emphasized that international military action was not being sought. We are attempting to avoid any foreign intervention, particularly military intervention in Syria, Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby said. We have always stressed full respect of the security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian people.
WASHINGTON American Crossroads, the Republican super political committee that plans to play a major role in this years presidential campaign, raised more than $51 million along with its nonprot arm last year, the Associated Press has learned. The gures from Crossroads the group backed by former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove were among the rst nancial
reports being made public Tuesday, the deadline for super PACs and presidential candidates to le nancial reports with federal election ofcials. While most recent public attention has focused on groups spending major sums for negative TV ads assailing GOP presidential primary rivals Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, Tuesdays gures are a sign of even greater spending to come in the general election battle between the Republican nominee and Democratic President Barack Obama.

OPINION
Every aspect of the San Mateo County Historical Association was measured in this examination. Taken into account were how they care for our historical collections, how they make them available to the public, how they develop the educational programs, how much of our community they serve, how their leadership manages the operations of the Association, how they provide the resources necessary to professionally run their programs, how they manage their nancial assets and how they evaluate all phases of their activities. The history museum is still featuring long-term exhibits such as: While Natures Bounty: The Natural Resources that Built San Francisco, Ships of the World and Land of Opportunity; The Immigrant Experience in San Mateo County. The association also enhanced their efforts for preserving the countys history. This past year, they took in a major portion of the voluminous photograph collection of the old San Mateo Times. Also of signicance has been the accessioning of Bay Meadows race track materials into their archives. This includes documents, scrapbooks, photographs and printed materials of Bay
Preserving the rich history of San Mateo County Another chapter for
By David J. Canepa
As a fourth generation San Mateo County resident, I take tremendous pride in this wonderful county. While we always have to look toward the future of San Mateo County it is essential that we reect on our rich past. The San Mateo County History Association continues to preserve and foster this rich history for future generations through different historic locations and exhibits throughout the county. Each year, more than 17,000 children and their chaperons were given interactive tours of the San Mateo County History Museum, Woodside Store, Sanchez Adobe and now Folger Stable. The overall attendance for those museums has reached more than 40,000 attendees. Of course, a large part of private donations underwrites the visits of our school children throughout the county. In fact this Friday, Feb. 3, the museum is free and moving forward for 2012, free every rst Friday of the month. This year, the museum reached a huge milestone by gaining reaccreditation from the American Association of Museums. This is a mark of distinction the museum has reached since 1972. Of the 18,000 museums in America, just 4.4 percent have reached this prestigious plateau.

Pet advice
Editor, I nd Scott Delucchis pet advice column suggestion (published in the Jan. 23 edition of the Daily Journal) that cats should be kept indoors and that vets who disagree should retire to be patently offensive. Many of the arguments Scott cites could just as well be applied to dogs. Of course sensible precautions should be taken by any responsible pet owner such as perhaps bringing a cat in for the night or other common sense approaches to potential dangers. But to deny them the irrefutable benets of the earth and sky and nature around them belittles these magnicent pets the appreciation of the surroundings they evolved in. I nd it shocking that a vet and so called pet expert would dismiss the legitimate concerns of other vets and many, many cat lovers in such a dismissive way.

BUSINESS
Wall Street
In January 1997, the last time stocks had such a fast start, the S&P gained 6.1 percent. Bill Clinton was inaugurated for his second term. An Asian nancial crisis and Titanic lay ahead. Later that year, the Dow crossed 7,000 and 8,000 for the rst time. This January, analysts said, investors had such low expectations for the economy that it was easy for things to turn out better than expected. There are no big surprises, said Kim Caughey Forrest, a senior equity analyst at money manager Fort Capital Group. Thats the kind of ho-hum economy that we are in right now. The Dow closed at 12,217.56 at the end of last year, then started this year with a pop a gain of 179.82 points on opening day. It was the kind of big swing investors became accustomed to in 2011. Since then, its been a quiet ascent: 19 days in a row of moves of less than 100 points. The last time the Dow had such a placid stretch was a 34-day run that started Dec. 3, 2010. Scottrade, the online brokerage, said stock buyers outpaced sellers among its clients for the rst 14 trading days of the year, Jan. 3 to Jan. 23. It also said volume was 16 percent higher than Decembers average.
Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE RadioShack Corp.,down $3.05 at $7.18 The electronics and accessories retailer warned that is fourth-quarter earnings per share and gross margins fell from a year ago. Archer Daniels Midland Co., down $1.08 at $28.63 Weakness in its oilseeds and corn processing units pushed the agricultural companys second-quarter net income down 89 percent. United States Steel Corp.,up $1.46 at $30.19 The steelmakers fourth-quarter loss narrowed on strong demand for pipes and the company was optimistic about the current quarter. Nasdaq Gentex Corp.,down $3.25 at $26.87 The auto parts suppliers fourth-quarter net income rose 10 percent on increased shipments of its rearview mirrors to automaker, but its results missed Wall Street expectations. Mattel Inc.,up $1.47 at $31 Demand for the toy companys Barbie and Monster High dolls pushed its fourth-quarter prot up to a better-than-expected 14 percent. Rent-A-Center Inc.,down $3.37 at $33.82 The company,which operates stores that rents furniture to customers, posted fourth-quarter revenue that missed expectations. Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc.,up $2.21 at $36.95 The companys cystic brosis drug was approved by U.S.regulators,offering treatment for some of the patients with the illness. Rex Energy Corp.,down $1.15 at $9.46 The oil and gas company,based in State College, Pa., said it would offer 7 million shares to raise money to pay off debt.
NEW YORK Its the best start for stocks in 15 years. In what was mostly a slow and steady climb, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 3.4 percent in January and the Standard & Poors 500 gained 4.4 percent, the best performances for both indexes to open a year since 1997. Investors were encouraged by modest but welcome improvement in the U.S. economy, including an 8.5 percent unemployment rate, the lowest in almost three years. Corporate prots didnt wow anyone except Apples but they were good enough. I dont see anything really glamorous or tremendous about the economy or earnings, said Jerry Harris, chief investment strategist at the brokerage Sterne Agee. But I think theyre very acceptable, and things are grinding along. An unexpected drop in consumer condence dragged stocks down on the nal day of the month. The Dow Jones industrial average nished down 20.81 points, or 0.2 percent, at 12,632.91. The broader market fared better. The S&P barely nished in the red, declining 0.60 point to 1,312.41. The Nasdaq composite index rose 1.90 points to close at 2,813.84. The Nasdaq gained 8 percent for the month, its best January since 2001.
NEW YORK Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg turns up at business conventions in a hoodie. Cocky is the word used to describe him most often, after billionaire. He was Times person of the year at 26. So when he takes Facebook public, why would he follow the Wall Street rules? The company is expected to le as early as Wednesday to sell stock on the open
market in what will be the most talkedabout initial public offering since Google in 2004, maybe since the go-go 1990s. Around the nation, regular investors and IPO watchers are anticipating some kind of twist perhaps a provision for the 800 million users of Facebook, a company that promotes itself as all about personal connections, to get in on the action. Pandemonium is what I expect in terms of demand for this stock, says Scott Sweet, senior managing partner at IPO Boutique, an advisory firm. I dont think Wall Street would want to
anger Facebook users. The most successful young technology companies have a history of doing things differently. Googles IPO prospectus contained a letter from its founders to investors that said the company believed in the motto Dont be evil. Facebook declined to comment, but Reena Aggarwal, a nance professor who has studied IPOs at Georgetown Universitys McDonough School of Business, believes Zuckerberg will emulate Googles philosophy, at least in principle.
Business briefs
Home prices dropped in November in most U.S. cities
WASHINGTON U.S. home prices fell for a third straight month in nearly all cities tracked by a major index. The declines show that most homeowners are not reaping the benets from some signs of an improving housing market. Prices dropped in November from October in 19 of the 20 cities tracked, according to the Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller home-price index released Tuesday. The steepest declines were in Atlanta, Chicago and Detroit. Phoenix was the only city to show an increase. The declines partly reect the typical fall slowdown after the peak buying season. Still, prices fell in 18 of the 20 cities in November compared to the same month in 2010. Only Washington and Detroit posted year-over-year increases. Prices in Atlanta, Las Vegas, Seattle and Tampa fell to their lowest points since the housing crisis began. And prices have fallen 33 percent nationwide since the housing bust, to 2003 levels.

Oh, how quickly we forget. As a sophomore for the Menlo-Atherton girls soccer team, Jennifer Kirst was the teams co-leading scorer. And while the Bears didnt make any postseason waves, Kirst showed true potential at the forward position for M-A. But hip surgery last season put a halt to her high school career come her junior season and for a
coach Paul Snow. To have her back has been amazing. Shes been tearing it up. Shes a real team player, making good passes, good decisions, shes got a real presence on the eld and shes a great captain. And what a difference shes made for the Bears. With her and Meryssa Thompson leading the charge offensively, M-A is in position to make the CCS playoffs for the rst time in seven years. Last week, as the PAL season turned the page to the second half and defenses keying in on her,
Kirst still managed to score a hat trick against Capuchino. She then had a hand in M-A 2-0 win over Woodside. For her efforts, Kirst is the Daily Journal Athlete of the Week. Its been a whole new restart, Kirst said of her senior season. I have all this determination, motivation and its great playing with the high school team because Ive made so many friends over the years on this team. Its great to be with all of them
Crystal Springs Emma Marsano gets a shot off during the rst-place Gryphons 2-2 tie with second-place Pinewood. Marsano scored the game-tying goal off a corner from Ellen Rudolph in the second-to-last minute of the game.
The enormity of the Crystal Springs Uplands School girls soccer game against Pinewood Tuesday in Hillsborough was nearly too much for the Gryphons. Going into the game, the undefeated Gryphons could not afford a loss if they wanted to reach their goal of a West Bay Athletic League Skyline Division championship.
Considering they had barely been tested at all this season, there was some denite concern as Crystal Springs trudged to the sideline not only trailing for the rst time this season, but allowing two-rst half goals two-thirds of the number of goals the Gryphons have given up all season. But believing in assistant coach Michael Flynns mantra of goals being scored in the opening and closing ve minutes of each half, Crystal Springs scored the equalizer on
Emma Marsanos header off an Ellen Rudolph corner kick in the 79th minute to stun the Panthers to stay unbeaten in league play and maintain its march toward a division title. I knew wed come back, said Flynn, the teams appointed spokesman. I didnt tell the girls this, but I knew we would get scored on. I didnt think wed be down 2-nil at halftime. After scoring in the opening minutes of the
One is living a dream the other just cant wake up from a nightmare. For the second time this season, MenloAtherton took it to Peninsula Athletic League powerhouse Burlingame on the soccer pitch, defeating the Panthers 4-0 Tuesday afternoon. In two wins this season, the Bears have outscored the Panthers an eye-popping 9-0. Perhaps no one described the frustration better than a pair of Burlingame fans who, upon watching the Panthers score an own-goal late in the ball game, turned to one another and said, its hard to watch. Weve had so many injuries, said Burlingame coach Philip DeRosa. I mean, this is a nightmare season. In all these years of coaching, Ive never had this many injuries all year long. Ive yet to play a game with 11 starters. And when I start to get healthy a little bit, I lose two more. And every game it seems like we go one forward and two back with injuries and its just really had a toll on the team. Injuries or not, with the way M-A is playing soccer right now, its hard to see any team (a healthy) Burlingame, Aragon, Carlmont beating the Bears. I told them not to take them lightly at all, said M-A coach Paul Snow of his teams approach to Tuesdays game. Theyve (Burlingame) been playing a lot better soccer, as far as paper goes. I havent seen them play, but theyve been putting up some serious results. I told them go out there red up and try to get some goals. For a while, it appeared the Panthers had learned a lot from their 5-0 loss to the Bears earlier in the year. They marked M-As forwards ferociously and were getting good pressure from Lena Mendelson and Nicki Lunghi. But the Bears arent one of the most potent offensive teams in the league by coincidence. In Jennifer Kirst and Meryssa Thompson, MA has a pair of forwards who have combined for 30 goals in the 2011-2012 season by
While Major League pitchers and catchers dont report for spring training for another couple of weeks, the College of San Mateo baseball team kicks off the 2012 season 2 p.m. Friday at home against Sierra College.
In 2011, a freshmen-laden squad advanced to the Super Regional of the Northern California playoffs. With a year of college experience under their belts, the Bulldogs are again poised to make a run at a Coast Conference Golden Gate Division title and go deep in the state playoffs. [2011] was a good season, said CSM manager Doug Williams. We
achieved many of the goals we set. We were playing well at the end of the season. While there is always player turnover every year at the community college level, the Bulldogs return 15 players from last seasons squad, including one of the best 1-2 pitching combinations in Northern California. Clay Bauer (sophomore, right-handed pitcher, Livermore
High) and Danny Chavez (sophomore, right-handed pitcher, Serra) will give the Bulldogs a chance to win every game they pitch. The two combined to go 14-4 last season, with a combined earned run average of 2.27. Our pitching staff is better than ever. We have a solid group, said Bauer, who was the Golden Gate Division Pitcher of the Year and is
already committed to play at Oregon State next season. This group is probably the best in the state. Chavez will get the Friday start with Bauer going Saturday against Reedley. Although Bauer might have more accolades, he said it didnt bother him to not get the open-

week after Kraft buried his wife of 48 years, Myra, after a months-long battle with cancer. For much of that time, Kraft shuttled back and forth John Mara between her hospital bed and the bargaining table, largely because, like Mara, he was one of the few owners the players felt they could trust. When the agreement was announced last summer, Colts center and players union rep Jeff Saturday wrapped Kraft in an XXLsized hug and spoke emotionally about the sacrices Kraft made, and how that earned their respect. Mara said it wasnt just the players who felt that way. Everybody knew what he was going through and he still found the time to be there with us, Mara said. Like I said, I dont think we get the deal done without him being there. For all the work both owners put in to make sure there was a season, long stretches zoomed by where neither had expectations of meeting again at the end. Mara told the story of how in 2007, after the Giants lost to an undefeated Patriots team in the nal game of the regular season, he ran into New England coach Bill Belichick in a hallway on the way back to their respective locker rooms. We shook hands and congratulated him and he said, Well play again. I remember not particularly believing him. I had a pretty strong sense that they were going to get there, but I wasnt so sure about us and sure enough it happened, Mara recalled, leaving out the best part how the Giants won the Super Bowl on Eli Mannings late heroics. Then he called me I cant remember after which game it was, but it was late this season just to
INDIANAPOLIS No one would have guessed while the NFL labor war raged last spring that the three of them would be so happy to see each other again. We met at a time when football looked like it might not continue, NFL players union chief DeMaurice Smith said, his arm draped over the shoulders of Patriots owner Robert Kraft. To be here now and watch a great game unfold, Im not sure I could ask for anything more. An hour later, Smith popped up alongside Giants owner John Mara. Ive been saying nothing but nice things about you, he said, extending a hand. Same for me, Mara said. Back in March, when negotiations between owners and players hit bottom, and a full regular season was anything but assured, such cordiality was hardly the norm. If Kraft and
Mara optimists both had even dared dream about a reunion with Smith then, they likely would have chosen a mountaintop in Robert Kraft Katmandu. Instead, they got together again Tuesday at the stadium where the Super Bowl will tie a bow on the leagues most successful season ever. This guy had a lot to do with us having labor peace, Kraft said, referring to Smith. We were able to build a bond of trust. ... We came very close to having a lockout. People have no idea. There was something tting about two of the owners who played such pivotal roles in ending the lockout facing each other for the games biggest prize. Agreement on a new 10-year labor deal came barely a
say hello and congratulations for whatever game we had just won and he said, Well play again, Mara added. So again, I think that was met with the same bit of skepticism but he turned out to be right. That Smith would turn up and make it a reunion considering how well things worked out for everyone involved was a bonus. Pretty cool, Kraft began, with Smith at his side. This man had to manage 2,000 players, a bunch of agents, a bunch of lawyers, then prioritize their demands and build a trust with our side. Kraft also found time to praise Commissioner Roger Goodell, who had to deal with a lot of kooky owners who thought they had the answers. If we missed any games, it could have taken years, maybe a decade, to get the fans respect back. People are hurting today, he said. They want good stories.
PHILADELPHIA At least four lawsuits blaming the NFL for concussion-related dementia and brain disease will be consolidated in Philadelphia, and more could follow. A U.S. judicial panel approved requests Tuesday by the NFL and plaintiffs lawyers to try similar cases before Senior U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody in Philadelphia. The lawsuits represent more than 300 retired players or spouses, includ-
ing two-time Super Bowl champion Jim McMahon. (This) allows Judge Brody to now bring everybody together and put this in an organized environment where all the legal issues and the medical issues and the scientic issues can all be decided in one place, said lawyer Larry Coben of Philadelphia, who led the rst lawsuit in August on behalf of McMahon and six others. The players accuse the NFL of negligence and intentional misconduct in its response to the headaches, dizziness
and dementia that former players have reported. Some say they have no symptoms but want to be monitored for future health problems. Former Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman Brent Boyd is described by lawyers as the only living player so far diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The degenerative brain disease, known as CTE, has typically been found in autopsies of people who have had multiple head injuries, including more than a dozen former NFL and NHL players.
The NFL vows to vigorously defend the claims. Spokesman Brian McCarthy declined to comment Tuesday, but the league had supported the consolidation in Philadelphia for logistical purposes. In the rst lawsuit, the NFL has tried to block Coben from taking wide-ranging depositions early on as the league seeks to have the lawsuit thrown out. The NFL argues that the lawsuits are barred under the playerscollective bargaining agreements. Brody delayed ruling on the deposi-
tions while she waited to see where the cases would end up. The U.S. Judicial Panel on MultiDistrict Litigation assigned them to her on Tuesday after meeting last week in Miami. Brody will handle all pretrial issues, including potentially key rulings on what evidence can be used at trial, and whether a class can be certied for medical monitoring or other purposes. The cases might then return to the district where they were led for trial, Coben said.

and have all their encouragement. She makes the right decisions, Snow said. She knows when to pass and knows when to take off and sprint towards goal and she can beat the defense. Kirst spent the rst half of the season acclimating to new players, running toward goal and lighting up the stat sheet. It was different because there was a lot of new players that I had never met before, she said. So the start of the season was a little tough. But I feel like theyre all very easy going and compatible players so as you can see, were a real dominating force. So, we all worked together and after a couple of games it was very easy playing with all of them. Now, in the second half of the year, the challenge for Kirst has shifted with the rest of the league remembering just how dangerous she is. Kirst has handled that task with ease. Honestly, its been a little frustrating because in the beginning of the season I had all this space to go on my runs and get my shots and now Im doubleteamed, or played man-on and zoned, so its pretty frustrating, Kirst said. But I just learned to look back to my [midelders] and lay off the balls or nd Meryssa and in that way, weve been able to make really good plays and a lot of other people have been able to score.

far the best of any tandem in the PAL. It wasnt long before they would nally break through. We had to adapt a little bit, Snow said. They were man-marking Jen up top and also playing zone so basically they had two people on her. So, we switched it outside and got a couple of quick goals from the outside. The girls have been playing some great soccer the last couple of weeks. Kirst and Thompson netted goals inside the penalty box within a twominute span as the rst half was in its nal quarter. The blows knocked the wind out of Burlingames sail heading into recess. And M-As Alaina Kleck took it upon herself to completely deate the Panthers from her goalkeeper position in the second half. Burlingame had their chances, including a wide-open look at the net. But time and again, Kleck was there to thwart their efforts. I told the sweeper to play deep to recognize their speed and skill up there, Snow said of his defense. They had some pretty good through balls there, some shots in the rst half especially, and we had to deepen the line there a little bit. Our sweeper, Diane Masket, has been having a fantastic year and our goalie had to come up big and shes a freshman. Well have her for some years to come. M-A got a second-half goal from
Naomi Pacalin (and it was her header in the box that forced an owngoal), whos returned from an ACL injury her junior season to play very well for Snow. Im really proud of the way theyre playing. Its not just the Jen and Meryssa show. Its been a real team effort. We hope to keep riding this wave in the playoffs. We just want to keep the momentum going. The way I look at something like this is, they played hard, DeRosa said of his team. They tried hard. We were unlucky (against M-A) in a whole lot of instances. What more can I do? Weve been in those games where, Why did the ball go in? Well, this is one of those game where youre like, Why didnt the ball go in? But thats soccer. Its a very cruel game. It can be brutal to you.
After missing last season with a hip injury,M-As Jennifer Kirst has returned with a vengeance,leading the PAL with 18 goals this season.
Kirst scored the opening goal, she and the Bears looked primed to make a deep run in the postseason. Were looking forward to getting rst place because we know we have really amazing players on the team and we know we can dominate the league, so thats what were looking forward to and thats what our goal is for the team, Kirst said.

second half to cut its decit to 2-1, Crystal Springs (11-0-1 WBAL Skyline, 15-0-2 overall) kept up the pressure the rest of the half. The Gryphons had multiple opportunities, but kept coming up short. It started to appear Pinewood (10-1-1) might have had Crystal Springs number. And when the Panthers packed in the defense in the nal 10 minutes with all 10 eld players on their own half of the eld cutting off all space for the Gryphons to maneuver, it began to look like there would be a seismic shakeup in the WBAL Skyline Division standings. And then Marsano snuck into the penalty box and headed home a Rudolph corner to tie the score at 2 with just moments to play. I thought we would (get the equalizer), said Rudolph, who was easily the best player on the eld Tuesday, dominating all over the eld, both offensively and defensively. And when Marsano tied the game? I could not believe it, Rudolph said. Thats probably one of the most amazing headers Ive ever seen. Although the Gryphons controlled the pace and possession of the game in the rst half, it was Pinewood that took advantages of its chances. After being pressured by Crystal Springs in the opening nine minutes, the Panthers caught the Gryphons on a counterattack. Adrienne Whitlock slotted a perfect diagonal pass into space and the eet-footed Nicole Colonna, with a step on her defender, ran onto the ball and faced a one-on-one with Crystal Springs goalkeeper Maret Rossi. Colonna managed to slip the ball under the charging Rossi and Pinewood had a 1-0 lead 10 minutes into
the game. The Panthers made it 2-0 ve minutes later. They earned a free kick 25 yards away from the Gryphons goal and Danielle Man surprised everyone by slipping her shot just inside the left post. In the rst half, they caught us off guard a little bit, Rudolph said. The Gryphons, however, got right back into the game three minutes into the second half. Julia Tang triggered the scoring sequence when she broke in on goal, only to have the Pinewood goalkeeper make a kick save. The ball went right to Hannah Williams on the left wing, who took a touch and, from just a few feet from the endline, somehow bent her shot into the net. It appeared the Gryphons last best chance came in the 55th and 56th minutes. First, Rudolph made a run into the box, but the Pinewood goalkeeper smothered her initial shot off her foot. The ball trickled away from the goalie and pinballed around the goalline before the Panthers nally cleared the ball away. A minute later, Tang beat the Pinewood offside trap and had only the goalie to beat, but her shot went well wide. Crystal Springs most dangerous player, Natasha Thornton-Clark, was mostly a nonfactor Tuesday, as Pinewood marked her out of the game. But if the Gryphons have proved anything this season, they are more than just a one-woman team. Fifteen of the 18 players on the squad have scored this season. For the whole season, its been a team effort, Rudolph said. There was going to be someone who would step up.

didnt bother him to not get the opening-day start. It doesnt matter, Bauer said. Well do just as good no matter who starts. How even are Bauer and Chavez? Williams had the pair Roshambo, best 2 of 3, to determine the opening-day starter. Bauer went rock three straight times and Chavez got the assignment. Also returning is the teams top two hitters in Michael Kathan (sophomore, shortstop/second baseman, Campolindo High-Moraga) and Bo Walter (sophomore, rst baseman/outelder, De La Salle High-Concord). Kathan batted a teamleading .331 last season and drove in 20 runs in 32 games in 2011. Walter was second on the team in batting at .327. While the Bulldogs annually have one of the top run-producing lineups in Northern California, its not always necessary given the teams pitching. Well do the best we can (offensively), said Kathan, who was selected an All-American at second base last season. We have a lot of faith in our pitching staff. As is usually the case, the Bulldogs are loaded with talent and while Williams is not fully set on an everyday starting lineup, it doesnt really matter. I feel fairly comfortable we can put two dif-

BERKELEY Robert Thurman always gured hed be big. His mom is a retired Marine staff sergeant who stands 6 feet tall, while his father is a 7-foot former bodybuilder who weighed 400 pounds in his prime. Thurmans frame is largely what landed him a roster spot for Pac-12 contender California. In a matter of weeks, the 6-foot10 Thurman has moved from way down on the bench to being right in the mix for the Golden Bears. The former walk-on arrived at Cal three years ago fully expecting to wind up as a practice player, a fun side gig while getting a topnotch education. He sat out his rst year after transferring from Division III
Norwich University in Vermont, then tried out last season. At his height and considering Cals thin frontcourt, coach Mike Montgomery had every reason to give Thurman a chance. Hes now known as the Thurmanator, will dunk when given the chance and gives the Bears a big body off the bench. Its weird because Ive never been in this type of position before. Its kind of cool. I like it, Thurman said. Id rather have that role than just the role of not doing anything. Suddenly, Thurman is a reliable player in the low post and on scholarship for a Golden Bears team (175, 7-2) competing for the inaugural Pac-12 title. Montgomery counts on key minutes from Thurman after the departure last season of 7-foot3 Chinese center Max Zhang, who went back to his home country, then
the recent loss of Richard Solomon when he became academically ineligible. Omondi Amoke was dismissed by Montgomery in April 2010 for violating team rules. While Thurman might have caught some teams off guard early, opponents surely will start taking notice. Thats going to definitely change, Thurman said. Thats the reason why I would say Ive had some of the open looks Ive had because theyre like, This kids some walk-on, just leave him open. Im sure Im already on some peoples scouting reports, Dont leave open for a wide-open dunk. Montgomery received a letter about Thurman and knew little more than he was 6-10. Cal did minimal research not much, Montgomery admits but decided
to give Thurman a hard look. We didnt have a lot of bigs, Montgomery said. It took only a quick glance to know that Thurman was not only big but athletic and well-rounded. He averaged 16.7 points, 12 rebounds and 3.5 blocks during his high school career, was on the honor roll all four years and also took part in football, volleyball and cross country. Being a military kid, he was exposed to a lot of different cultures, exposed to a lot of different things, his mother, Shelley, said. That helped. Ive always taught him that when given an opportunity he needs to make the best of his opportunity. Thurman realizes his timing has been fortuitous. He appeared in all of 10 games last season as a sophomore 28
minutes total and took two shots while grabbing nine rebounds. Honestly I thought my role was just going to be a practice player and be a college student ... and every once in a while at the end of the game get mine when I can, but that changed, Thurman said. Things just started to happen for me. My role changed this year compared to my role last year, and it probably would have been different if those guys hadnt left. Just a strange turn of events throughout my career here. On Jan. 19, Thurman came off the bench to score a career-high 16 points in 21 minutes of an important 69-66 road win at Washington. (Robert) is a big guy and he gets his hands on some balls, Montgomery said after Sundays 69-59 win over rival Stanford. Hes getting an opportunity.

LONDON European soccers January transfer window closed Tuesday with clubs reining in the lavish spending of recent years in an apparent response to UEFAs strict new nancial controls. While 225 million pounds (then $362 million) was spent last January by English clubs alone, barely 50 million pounds was outlayed by them this month. It looks like economically the whole of Europe is becoming a bit more cautious, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. UEFA revealed last week that the total debt of 665 European clubs had hit $11 billion. Manchester City alone has invested more than $1 billion on new players in a little more than three years, but the Abu Dhabi owners have curbed their spending and prioritized losing some big earners as it looks to slash a recent annual loss of $308 million. The only incoming deal by City manager Roberto Mancini on Tuesday was to sign 32-year-old David Pizarro on loan from Roma for the rest of the season to bolster his mideld options. Defender Wayne Bridge was sent to Sunderland on loan, although City was unable unload troublesome striker Carlos Tevez, who has not played since refusing to resume warming up for the club during a Champions League match in September.

Eight chefs from each country were scheduled for individual and team competitions over 26 one-hour episodes,with the winner authoring the rst Foodistan cookbook and receiving a trip to three cities of his or her choice anywhere in the world.
ISLAMABAD For decades, archenemies Pakistan and India have engaged in a dangerous nuclear arms race. Now theyre also competing in a more cheerful forum. The outcome will be mouthwatering curries and soothing Su ballads, not violent conict. The fractious neighbors are going head-to-head in a pair of reality TV shows that pit chefs and musicians against each other. Producers hope the contests will help bridge the gulf between two nations that were born from the same womb and have been at each others throats ever since. But so far it hasnt completely worked out that way. The top Pakistani chef on the cooking show, which is called Foodistan, quit the contest early. He accused the judges of bias toward India and is threatening to sue. The producers denied the allegations. Pakistan and India were founded in 1947 following the breakup of the British empire. They have fought three major wars, two of them over the disputed territory of Kashmir. The TV shows do not try to hide or brush over this painful history. They make light of it. Now the worlds greatest rivalry is going to get spicier, said co-host Ira Dubey during one of the early episodes of Foodistan, which rst aired in India on Jan. 23 and will be shown in Pakistan starting in mid-February.

aim of the two teams would be to grind the opposition into chutney, to make them eat humble pie, to dice them, slice them and fry them on their way to culinary glory. Eight chefs from each country were scheduled for individual and team competitions over 26 one-hour episodes, with the winner authoring the first Foodistan cookbook and receiving a trip to three cities of his or her choice anywhere in the world. There is signicant overlap in the cuisines of both countries, as there is in language, music and culture. Pakistanis and Indians both love curry, kebab and biryani, a spiced rice dish. But they often use different ingredients, and dishes can also vary from one region to another within the same country. Pakistani dishes often include beef, which is not eaten by many people in majority Hindu India for religious reasons. India has more vegetarian dishes, and the food is often cooked with ingredients like coconut milk that are rarely found in Pakistan. Many Pakistanis and Indians have missed out on enjoying the varied tastes of the other country because mutual enmity has made cross-border travel difcult. Even though they are neighbors,
Indians dont know what Pakistani food is like and vice versa, said Mirza Fahad, a production assistant at Indias NDTV, which developed Foodistan. It was long overdue to get to know each others foods. During the rst cook-off on the show, lmed in New Delhi, the judges gave four chefs from each side two hours to prepare a biryani, curry, kebab and dessert. Each of the three judges gave the teams meal a score out of 10. The judges loved the Iranian-inspired sh biryani cooked by the Pakistanis, their chicken kebab stuffed with gs, olives, bread and mango chutney, and their shahi tukda, a dessert of fried bread soaked in hot milk with spices. They scored 21 out of a possible 30, losing points because a dish of chicken in shalimar curry was a tad chewy. The Indians ended up winning the rst contest by one point with a menu that included chicken tikka with truffle cream, cheese kofta in a tomato and water chestnut curry, lamb biryani and phirni, a sweet rice pudding that they topped with strawberry granita.

The winner-take-all primary was worth 50 Republican National Convention delegates, by far the most of any primary state so far. That gave Romney a total of 87, to 26 for Gingrich, 14 for Santorum and four for Paul, with 1,144 required to clinch the nomination. But the bigger prize was precious political momentum in the race to pick an opponent for Obama in a nation struggling to recover from the deepest recession in decades. That belonged to Romney when he captured the New Hampshire primary three weeks ago, then swung stunningly to Gingrich when he countered with a South Carolina upset 11 days later. Now it was back with the former Massachusetts governor, after a 10-day comeback marked by a change to more aggressive tactics, coupled with an efcient use of an overwhelming nancial advantage to batter Gingrich in television commercials. Gingrich brushed aside any talk of quitting the race. We are going to contest everyplace, he said, standing in front of a sign that read 46 states to go. It is now clear that this will be a two-person race between the conservative leader, Newt Gingrich, and the Massachusetts moderate, he said. Santorum disagreed, and said so. In Nevada, where he was campaigning for the states caucuses on Saturday, he said, Newt Gingrich had his chance, had his shot, had a big boost and win out in South Carolina and couldnt Orlando where reporters appeared to outnumber supporters. It was a turnabout for a candidate who just 10 days ago bounded to a decisive comeback victory in South Carolina. Gingrich arrived in Florida to huge crowds and a lead in the polls. But a pair of lackluster debate performances a bruising advertising assault by Romney took their toll. Gingrich never mentioned Romney by name Tuesday night and offered the winner of Floridas primary no words of congratulation. The two have been locked in an increasingly vicious ght for the Republican nod with Gingrich calling Romney dishonest and his campaign pathetic. Romney took off the gloves against Gingrich in Florida, assailing Rehman, a chef at the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, said concerns about the judges were fairly widespread on the Pakistani side, but Naeem was the only one to quit. It remains to be seen whether the music competition Sur Kshetra, or Musical Battleeld also will spark ill will. The contest, which is being lmed in Dubai, is scheduled to air in Pakistan and India starting in mid-February, said Mohammed Zeeshan Khan, a general manager at Pakistans Geo TV, which is developing the show. hold it. He said the voters are looking for a different conservative and alternative to Mitt Romney now. Already, Romney and restore Our Future, an organization that supports him, were outadvertising the eld in Nevada. Figures provided to the AP showed the two combined had spent $370,000 so far. Paul has spent $209,000, but neither Gingrich nor Santorum had aired any commercials. Romney won the Nevada caucuses four years ago and is favored to repeat his triumph this Saturday. Caucuses in Colorado, Minnesota and Maine follow, with primaries in Wisconsin on Feb. 21 and in Michigan and Arizona at the end of the month. Gingrich, from neighboring Georgia, swept into Florida from South Carolina, only to run headlong into a different Romney from the one he had left in his wake in South Carolina. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, shed his reluctance to attack Gingrich, the former House speaker, unleashing hard-hitting ads on television, sharpening his performance in a pair of debates and deploying surrogates to the edges of Gingrichs own campaign appearances, all in hopes of unnerving him. Restore our Future, an outside group supporting Romney, accounted for about $8.8 million in the ad wars, and the candidate and the super PAC combined outspent Gingrich and Winning The Future, the organization backing him, by about $15.5 million to $3.3 million, an advantage of nearly 5-1. his work for Freddie Mac in a state hit hard by the housing bust. He also questioned Gingrich ties to President Ronald Reagan, which left the former Georgia congressman visibly irked. Gingrich campaigned in Florida with Michael Reagan, son of the late president, as well as Herman Cain, his onetime GOP rival and a tea party favorite. Despite the loss, Gingrich had appeal with the GOPs conservative base. According to preliminary exit polls, Gingrich carried those voters seeking a true conservative. But he was plagued by questions about electability in the general election. A majority of voters called Romney the candidate best able to defeat Democratic President Barack Obama. Only 3

Ominously for the thrice-married Gingrich, only about half of women voters said they had a favorable view of him as a person, compared to about eight in 10 for Romney. Nor was Romneys victory a narrow one. His winning percentage approached 50 percent and a majority that would demolish Gingrichs oft-stated contention that the voters who oppose Romney outnumber those who favor him. Still, the former speaker said, Were going to contest everyplace and we are going to win. As in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, about half of Florida primary voters said the most important factor for them was backing a candidate who could defeat Obama in November, according to exit poll results conducted for the Associated Press and the television networks. Not surprisingly, in a state with an unemployment rate hovering around 10 percent, about two-thirds of voters said the economy was their top issue. Nearly nine in 10 said they were falling behind or just keeping up. And half said that home foreclosures have been a major problem in their communities.

HONOLULU Kona coffee growers want Hawaiis labeling law modied to provide more details on packages of coffee blends that contain Hawaii-grown beans. Currently, coffee blends sold in the state that contain Hawaii-grown coffee must disclose what percentage is grown in the islands, and it must be at least 10 percent. The Kona Coffee Farmers Association said Thursday that it wants the state Legislature to consider a bill it has drafted that would also identify where the remainder of the blend is grown. If the association is successful an example of a package label would read, 90 percent Panamanian coffee, 10 percent Kona coffee. The state senator from Kona said Thursday he plans to introduce the bill at the end of the month. I respect the local community and Kona coffee is a big issue for us, state Sen. Josh Green, D-Milolii-Waimea, said. For the farmers, its about truth-in-labeling and protecting the integrity of a world-famous Hawaii product. Hawaii is the only place in the United States where coffee is grown. Coffee acionados pay a premium for coffee grown in farms in the Kona district, known for its rich volcanic soil and tropical climate. The state of Hawaii needs to be with the Kona coffee farmers, said Colehour Bondera, the associations president. Were the most lucrative agricultural commodity in the state. A pound of pure Kona coffee can sell for about $25 more if its organic. Not giving consumers all the information about where coffee is grown dilutes the perception of Konas quality, Bondera said. When the 10 percent blend law was introduced in 1991, there was a provision mandating disclosing the origin of all coffee in the blend, he said, but pressure from Honolulu coffee blenders resulted in making it voluntary, which none of the major blenders have opted to do. But modifying the law to restore mandatory disclosure would just be a small step for the farmers, he said. Several years ago there was a failed effort to increase the minimum percentage of Hawaii-grown coffee in blends to at least 75 percent. The farmers would prefer only blends that are mostly Kona bear that name. The name Kona should not be used on any products thats not mostly Kona, Bondera said. When people talk about wines, you cant a buy a Napa wine when its only 10 percent Napa. Hawaiis coffee blend labeling law is an offshoot of regulations put in place after a scandal in the 1990s when inexpensive coffee beans grown in Latin America were being passed off and sold as pure Kona coffee. It only applies to blends sold in Hawaii.

take an extended period of time off with my family when the school year ends, Belville wrote in a letter to ofcials in both cities. It also provides an element of security from pension reform during the election cycle of 2012. Belville served most of his career with the now-defunct South County Fire Authority, which previously served San Carlos and Belmont. Belville, 54, was hired by Arne Croce, San Mateos former city manager, six years ago. Albeit a few months short, I will have served ve years as re chief at the request of Arne Croce when offered the job. It has been very important for me to honor the agreement we made. I believe Mr. Croce would agree that we achieved many things despite very difcult nancial challenges and uncertainty in local government, Belville wrote in the letter. The cities not only share Belville, who is technically a San Mateo employee, but also now share a deputy re chief and battalion chief. An agreement between the two cities can also be amended to allow for more shared positions including two

structural decit. According to Maltbies calculations, the board can balance its budget this upcoming scal year and have a modest surplus going forward if his projections hold true and the board makes good on recommended changes. Amid the discussion, the board looked at revenue, expenses and ways to change both. A possible tax grabbed some attention although the board majority wasnt too keen on a sales tax proposal. Supervisor Carole Groom in particularly worried that a local tax would compete with the state tax measure pushed by the governor, resulting in its failure. Instead, the board agreed to place on the June ballot a rental vehicle tax aimed at passengers coming through San Francisco International Airport. A similar 2008 measure died which the board attributed to assuming it would pass without much effort on their part. Shame on us, said Board President Adrienne Tissier. The board also threw out ideas including a re protection fee that could generate roughly $1 million annually, establishing ongoing guidelines on how to budget

Specically, the committees could lead to supervisors risking Brown Act violations if they speak with a third member about a topic on which theyve also discussed at a committee meeting with another member.

Freebies: Fill in single-box cages with the number in the top-left corner.
someone with whom youll be involved might not be operating by the rules. If this person thinks youre an easy target, he or she might try to take you down. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A failure to select companions who are equally as enthusiastic about life as you are could put too many restrictions on everything you attempt to do and limit your initiative. Choose your chums wisely. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you want to perform effectively, youll need to be systematic in all that you do. Unless you organize yourself and the job at hand,
you wont accomplish much in the way of anything. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you have a bad time, it wont be because youre not sociable, but because of the group with which youre involved. Be more selective about your friends for a happier public presence. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- When you utilize your friendliness and charm, situations in which youll be involved will turn out to be fun and successful. Conversely, letting your ego govern the day will cause you unhappiness. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- As long as friends are in accord with your views and opinions, youll be amicable and fun to be with. Should anyone disagree
with you, however, youll not be a happy companion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The disadvantages of a collective endeavor in which youre involved will bring down the whole ship if you make them more important than the many positive facets of the project. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It might not be entirely the fault of others if you have problems dealing on a one-on-one basis with people. You should let your honesty instead of your vanity make the evaluation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Attend first thing, while you are fresh, to all the jobs and responsibilities that must get done. You wont be as effective handling things when youre tired.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Again you could find yourself in a similar social situation that you didnt handle too well previously. If you insist upon repeating the same mistake, expect the same results. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Although you are extremely capable of holding your own when in testy circumstances, you might insist on seeing yourself as the underdog. If you do, itll be a no-win situation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be on guard when participating in an activity that has competitive elements. Unfortunately, theres a chance that you could go up against someone who cant handle losing. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
