Same-sex couples wanting to legally wed were given a boost yesterday by a federal appeals panel in San Francisco that ruled the states controversial Proposition 8 was unconstitutional. The ruling was applauded by the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community as well as state and federal lawmakers who support marriage equality rights. Same-sex marriages in the state will not likely resume, however, until the appeals process is completed. Locally, proponents of samesex marriage expressed excitement about the court ruling although some are disappointed gay and lesbian couples are still prevented from getting legally married. The Rev. Terri Echelbarger, with the Peninsula Metropolitan Community Church in San Mateo, oversees a large congregation with many of its members belonging to the LGBT community. Im very pleased, very excited about the ruling, Echelbarger told the Daily Journal yesterday. She is disappointed, however, that the ruling did not immediately bring relief for couples wanting

SAN FRANCISCO Same-sex marriage moved one step closer to the Supreme Court on Tuesday when a federal appeals court ruled Californias ban unconstitutional, saying it serves no purpose other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals gave gay marriage Inside opponents time to appeal the 21 decision before ordering the state to allow An important s a m e - s e x step for equal rights weddings to See opinion page 9 resume. Im ecstatic. I recognize that we have a ways to go yet. We may have one or two more legal steps, said Jane Leyland, who was gathered with a small crowd outside the federal courthouse in downtown San Francisco, cheering as they learned of the ruling. Leyland married her longtime partner, Terry Gilb, during the vemonth window when same-sex marriage was legal in California. But when we rst got together, I would have never dreamed in a million years that we would be allowed to be legally married, and here we are. The ban known as Proposition 8 was approved by voters in 2008 with 52 percent of the vote. The court said it was unconstitutional because it singled out a minority group for disparate treatment for no com-

Negotiations to develop more housing and retail in downtown Burlingame are moving ahead after a City Council meeting Monday which featured some serious questions about historic property and other details.

Monday, concepts submitted by the top two choices Grosvenor and Equity Residential were discussed and ultimately resulted in the council voting to move forward with negotiations. The vote was a rst step in possibly creating more residential and retail options in the downtown. Getting the go-ahead doesnt mean these ideas will become a reality. Many questions remain and councilmembers stressed, should a project move forward, there

The outdoor skating rink that gave downtown Redwood City visitors the chance to spin, twirl and foster Olympic dreams during the holiday season about broke even nancially and city ofcials are already dreaming of a repeat performance at the end of the year. However, in a concession to those who thought the faux ice used on the rink fell a tad short of the real deal, any new rink will probably rely on good old-fashioned frozen water. The articial surface provides a slower skating experience, great for parents with little kids but not the favorite of some others, said city spokesman Malcolm Smith. Others mentioned theyd prefer the real thing. Just to cover our bases, we are looking at the potential for using a real ice rink for this years winter holidays, if we can make the numbers work. Its not clear which way well go, but we hope to have one or the other for the holidays, Smith said. The rink was a rst for Redwood City, adding the Peninsula city to others in the Bay Area known for their outdoor holiday rinks like San Francisco and San Jose. The rink,

located just outside the historic courthouse on the downtown square, ran 57 operating days between Nov. 18 and Jan. 16. About 4,300 skaters spent full price for admission with another 1,200 joining via discounts like Groupon. In total, the rink brought in a revenue of roughly $67,500 a combination of $26,000 in sponsorship and tickets sales of about $41,500. The citys total costs not including reusable items like the wood structure around the rink were $67,500. The rink costs about $48,000 The breakeven is not too bad for a the rst time out on a new event, Smith said. The rink was 60 foot by 67 foot and used a non-ice technology which was not only greener but less expensive than the traditional method because it did not require electricity to keep the surface frozen. Instead, a plastic polymer coated synthetic sheets similar to a giant, white cutting board, that feel like natural ice when heated by the pressure of the blade.

Smog shop owner jailed for falsifying certificates

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A South San Francisco smog shop owner was sentenced to two months in county jail for issuing fake certificates using information from other vehicles and illegally using a protected computer system. Cahit Bingol, who owned Smog Zone Test Only Center at 1086 Grand Ave., was originally charged with 21 felonies but prosecutors agreed to settle on three counts of producing false documents and illegal computer use. The three counts gave a judge a full range of sentencing options and adding a few more to the deal wasnt going to tack on any substantial time, said Deputy District Attorney John E. Wilson, who heads up the consumer division. Bingols jail time can be served through an alternative work program and he must also spend three years on supervised probation during which he cannot operate a smog test station. Bingol had surrendered his license to the California Bureau of Automotive Repair after being charged by San Mateo County prosecutors last year. Re-applying is no guarantee he will ever operate a smog center again, Wilson said. The BAR can certainly take this under consideration, Wilson said. Bingols defense attorney Tom Deremegio was not immediately available for comment.

According to the District Attorneys Office, Bingol was a registered automotive repair dealer and licensed smog check technician at his shop when between Sept. 22 and Oct. 21 last year he issued seven false certifiCahit Bingol cates by using data from other vehicles. Authorities caught wind of Bingols alleged fraud from the California Bureau of Automotive Repair which administers the licensing program and monitors automated data. A BAR representative thought the data seemed fraudulent and launched video surveillance of the center on those four days. The footage showed Bingol generating the seven certificates by utilizing what is known as the clean pipe and clean plug methods which let a person use emission data from a source other than the tested vehicle although the BARs internal checks caught the repeat. Thats exactly the problem, the information does show up the same so it looks like the same car is smogged each time, Wilson said. The District Attorneys Office has filed similar smog fraud cases before although they are not referred them regularly, Wilson said.

DHS adding public advocate for immigration agency
WASHINGTON The Homeland Security Department has appointed a public advocate to handle complaints and questions about its immigration enforcement policies. The appointment of Andrew Lorenzen-Strait, a senior adviser at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was announced Tuesday. ICE Director John Morton said the position was created to ensure that public and immigration advocates understand various changes being made within the department and what the changes mean for those immigrants being jailed by immigration authorities or those facing deportation. Lorenzen-Strait will also address concerns about ICE enforcement involving U.S. citizens. We have undertaken a signicant number of reforms from a policy perspective and we want to make sure they are evenly understood in the public and advocacy communities, Morton said Monday.

Shooter acquitted of attempted murder

A Foster City man who shot and wounded two other men during an argument over noise has been found not guilty of two counts of attempted murder in San Mateo County Superior Court. Jesse David Wilson, 41, was also found not guilty of two lesser charges of attempted voluntary manslaughter. The jury of 10 women and two men deadlocked on ve remaining counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and Judge John Grandsaert declared a mistrial on those charges. Wilson did not react when the verdicts were read Tuesday morning. He was arrested on July 9, 2010, hours after he shot Steve Dimond and Anthony Cook outside his ground-oor unit at the Beach Cove Apartments. During the two-week trial, Wilson testied that he had acted in selfdefense that night, and that he had gone outside with a .38-caliber handgun because he heard a woman scream and what sounded Jesse Wilson like a ght. Shortly after midnight, Cook, Dimond, their wives and a friend had decided to go boating on the lagoon after drinking at a concert in Foster City. A kayak carrying three of the revelers overturned, causing one of the women to scream. A neighbor of Wilsons who is Asian went outside to ask the boating party to quiet down. He was chased back inside his apartment under a barrage of racial slurs, according to defense attorney William Locke. Wilson armed himself and went outside to see if someone needed help, Locke said. When the boating party saw that Wilson had a gun, they rushed him to try to disarm him, according to Locke. Wilson red the gun twice during the ght that followed. Dimond was shot in the back and suffered a collapsed lung, and Cook was shot in the abdomen. Both men survived, and testied that Wilson had shot them before they started to punch him and beat him to the ground. Wilson suffered a broken orbital bone and multiple cuts and bruises. Wilson, Locke and deputy district attorney Brian Donnellan will be back in court on Feb. 22 to determine what will be done regarding the ve assault charges on which the jury deadlocked.

The Etter Health Center at Shippensburg, a public school of 8,300 students in Appalachias scenic Cumberland Valley, provides the Plan B One Step emergency contraceptive along with condoms, decongestants and pregnancy tests. The pill is available without a prescription to anyone 17 or older, and the school checked records and found that all current students are that age or older, spokesman Peter Gigliotti said. The machine was installed after a request from the student association. The pills availability in a vending machine appears to be rare, if not unprecedented.

More states to join foreclosure-abuse deal

Obama to seek more Alzheimers research money

WASHINGTON The Obama administration is increasing spending on Alzheimers research planning to surpass half a billion dollars next year as part of a quest to nd effective treatments for the brain-destroying disease by 2025. In a two-part plan announced Tuesday, the National Institutes of Health immediately will devote an extra $50 million dementia research, on top of the $450 million a year it currently spends. The boost opens the possibility that at least one stalled study of a possible therapy might get to start soon. Next week, President Barack Obama will ask Congress for $80 million in new money to spend for Alzheimers research in 2013.

WASHINGTON Arizona, Michigan and Florida, three of the states hit hardest by the housing crisis, will join a nationwide settlement over foreclosure abuses, ofcials with direct knowledge say. They will join more than 40 other states in approving a deal that would benet many Americans who lost their homes or cant afford their mortgages. The three states involvement buoys hopes that a full 50-state deal is imminent. Formal announcements from Arizona and Florida could come within a week, according to the ofcials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they werent authorized to discuss the settlement publicly.

Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne said he rst wants to resolve a separate foreclosure-related lawsuit his state led against Bank of America. Florida ofcials say they are still in discussions. Attorney General Pam Bondi remains engaged in the settlement discussions in order to ensure that Floridians receive their fair share in the agreement, she said in a statement. Other ofcials said Florida intends to back the deal. Michigan announced Tuesday it would join the settlement. Ofcials said the state would receive about $500 million in aid. Michigan ofcials also said they would continue a criminal investigation into Docx, a unit of Lender Processing Services of Jacksonville, Fla. The company is accused of using fake signatures on phony foreclosure

documents. Missouri led criminal charges against the rm and its founder Friday, saying it falsied 68 notarized deeds on behalf of mortgage lenders. The nationwide settlement stems from abuses that occurred after the housing bubble burst. Many companies that process foreclosures failed to verify documents. Some employees signed papers they hadnt read or used fake signatures to speed foreclosures an action known as robo-signing. The deal would be the biggest involving a single industry since a 1998 multistate tobacco deal. It would force the ve largest mortgage lenders to reduce loans for about 1 million households. The reduced loans would benet homeowners who are behind on their payments and owe more than their homes are worth.

Public input sought on realignment plan

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

San Mateo County is seeking any last public input on its draft plan to supervise lowlevel state prisoners and parolees who are being shifted to local responsibility under the state budget-balancing plan known as realignment. Each county was required to create a document and the countys draft Public Safety Realignment Local Implementation Plan is now available for public review and comment. The plan contains 13 strategies including providing drug and alcohol counseling programs

and placing certain inmates in alternative sentencing programs that could be more effective in reducing the likelihood that an offender would return to jail. The draft plan will ultimately go the Board of Supervisors in April for approval before implementation. The county has been operating on an interim plan since realignment began last October. The Community Corrections Partnership a collaboration of the Probation Department, Sheriffs Office, District Attorney, Health System and Human Services Agency as well as judiciary, education and nonprot groups

put the draft together over several meetings and several months. The partnership also worked with Oakland-based Resource Development Associates to provide an overview of the affected population, identify service goals and priorities, create a tracking protocol and incorporate a funding strategy. The plans goal is reducing crime and recidivism via a countywide strategy. Comments may be submitted online or in writing by 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 8.

Komen vice president quits

By Ray Henry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA A vice president at the Susan G. Komen for the Cure resigned Tuesday, saying the breast cancer charity should have stood by its politically explosive decision to cut off funding for Planned Parenthood. Karen Handel, a Republican who opposed abortion as a candidate for Georgia governor, said she was actively engaged in efforts to cut off the grants and said the charitys reversal hurt its core mission. I am deeply disappointed by the gross mischaracterizations of the strategy, its rationale, and my involvement in it, Handel said in her letter. I openly acknowledge my role in the matter and continue to believe our decision was the best one for Komens future and the women we serve. The grants, totaling $680,000 last year, went to breast-screening services offered by

Planned Parenthood, which provides a range of womens health care services including abortions. Under criteria developed by Komen during Handels tenure, Planned Parenthood would have been disqualified from Karen Handel future grants because it was under a congressional investigation launched at the urging of antiabortion activists. Komen, the nations largest breast-cancer charity, reversed course after its decision ignited a three-day restorm of criticism. Members of Congress and Komen afliates accused the groups national leadership of bending to pressure from anti-abortion activists. Neither the decision nor the changes themselves were based on anyones political beliefs or ideology, Handel said in her resignation

letter. Rather, both were based on Komens mission and how to better serve women, as well as a realization of the need to distance Komen from controversy. Handel said the discussion had started before she arrived at the organization last year. She said the charity was concerned that some Roman Catholic Dioceses had encouraged believers not to give to Komen because it supported Planned Parenthood. I was tasked with identifying options that would allow us to move to neutral ground about this so we werent on either side of you know, pro-life, pro-choice, Handel said. Komen Founder and CEO Nancy G. Brinker said she accepted Handels resignation and wished her well. We have made mistakes in how we have handled recent decisions and take full accountability for what has resulted, but we cannot take our eye off the ball when it comes to our mission, Brinker said in a statement.

Woman arrested for fatally stabbing boyfriend

By Chris Cooney
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Police in East Palo Alto have arrested a woman suspected of fatally stabbing her boyfriend at their home Tuesday morning, a police sergeant said. Ofcers went to 1240 Camellia Drive after receiving a 911 call shortly before 8:30 a.m. from 33-year-old Natisha Anderson, who said she had cut her boyfriend, East Palo Alto Sgt. Jeff Liu said.

Natisha Anderson

Arriving officers found the victim, 34-year-old Charles Perry, suffering from a stab wound to the leg, Liu said. Anderson told ofcers at her home that she was responsible for cutting her boyfriend, who was the father of her 4-year-old son, Liu said. Perry was taken to

Stanford Hospital, where he succumbed to his wound, police said. Anderson was arrested on suspicion of murder and booked into San Mateo County Jail. The case remains under investigation. Anderson will likely be arraigned in San Mateo County Superior Court by Thursday afternoon, according to the District Attorneys Ofce.

Chrome revolver bandit pleads not guilty

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

The so-called chrome-revolver bandit, named for the large silver revolver used during a multi-city robbery spree and the shooting of a San Mateo pet store clerk, pleaded not guilty yesterday to 37 felonies. Ricky Renee Sanders, 34, is charged with mayhem in the Oct. 8 shooting at PetSmart along with multiple counts of rst-degree robbery, assault with a rearm, attempted robbery and being a felon with a rearm. After pleading not guilty Tuesday, Sanders was ordered back April 30 for a preliminary hearing. If convicted, Sanders, a third-strike defendant, faces life in prison.

Prosecutors say Sanders robbed the PetSmart at 3520 El Camino Real in August and returned Oct. 8 when he shot the same 34year-old male cashier with a silver revolver. The bullet severed his femoral artery, leaving him with long-lasting effects. Sanders also allegedly robbed or attempted to rob a Beverages and More in Colma, a GameStop in Colma and other businesses in San Francisco and Santa Clara counties. Authorities estimate he may have committed more than 30 similar robberies throughout the Bay Area. Authorities apprehended Sanders in Alameda County. Fingerprints collected from the Oct. 30 armed robbery of a San Jose PetSmart linked him to the local cases. He

was arrested in November but held in Alameda County before his transfer here for prosecution. Sanders remains in custody without bail.

WASHINGTON Adm. Bill McRaven said Tuesday that special operations forces in Afghanistan are preparing for a possible expanded role as overall U.S. forces begin to draw down after a decade of war. McRaven, the special operations commander who led last years Navy SEAL raid against Osama bin Laden, conrmed that special operations forces would be the last to leave under the Obama administrations current plan, and that the Pentagon is considering handing more of the Afghan war responsibility over to a senior special operations ofcer as part of that evolution. McRaven said special operations would combine targeting and training operations this summer to prepare for a smaller overall U.S. presence, but he stressed that no nal decisions had been made. I have no doubt that special operations will be the last to leave Afghanistan, McRaven told a Washington audience, though he said he did not expect their numbers to rise. As far as anything beyond that, were exploring a lot of options, he said. The White House is considering handing the entire Afghan campaign back to special operations forces an evolution expected to stretch well past the drawdown of most conventional NATO troops in 2014, according to multiple ofcials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the still-evolving plans. Senior administration officials have described turning the mission over to special operations forces as a possible way to provide security with fewer U.S. troops, because of their ability to work in smaller numbers and with local forces on such missions as night raids or patrolling villages.

Russia pushes for Syrian reforms as riots mount

Santorum still in it
Jubilant Santorum wins Minnesota,challenges in Colorado
By David Espo and Philip Elliott
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Days after blocking a U.S.-backed peace plan at the U.N., senior Russian ofcials pushed for reforms Tuesday during an emergency meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad, promoting a settlement to end the uprising without removing him from power. Thousands of ag-waving government supporters cheered the Russians in the Syrian capital of Damascus, while to the north, Assads forces pounded the opposition city of Homs underscoring the sharp divisions propelling the country toward civil war. The violence has led to the most severe international isolation in more than four decades of Assad family rule, with country after country calling home their envoys. France, Italy, Spain and Belgium pulled their ambassadors from Damascus, as did six Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia. Germany, whose envoy left the country this month, said he would not be replaced. The moves came a day after the U.S. closed its embassy in Syria and Britain recalled its ambassador. Turkey, once a strong Assad supporter and now one of his most vocal critics, added its voice to the international condemnation, with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan saying his country cannot remain silent about massacres in Syria.

Vandals attack Jerusalem monastery, school
JERUSALEM Vandals attacked a monastery in Jerusalem and a prominent school with a mixed Jewish-Arab student body on Tuesday, and police said they suspected Jewish extremists were behind the violence. Death to Christians and other Hebrew-language grafti were scrawled on the Greek Orthodox monastery in Jerusalem, while Death to Arabs was sprayed across a wall outside the bilingual Hand in Hand school in another part of the city.

WASHINGTON A resurgent Rick Santorum won Minnesotas Republican presidential caucuses with ease Tuesday night and challenged Mitt Romney in Colorado, raising fresh questions about the front-runners appeal among the ardent conservatives at the core of the partys political base. Santorum triumphed, as well, in a nonbinding Missouri primary that was worth bragging rights but no delegates. Conservatism is alive and well in Missouri and Minnesota, the jubilant former Pennsylvania senator told cheering supporters in St. Charles, Mo. Challenging both his GOP rival and the Democratic president, he declared that on issues ranging from health care to Wall Street bailouts, Mitt Romney has the same positions as Barack Obama. Returns from 83 percent of Minnesotas precincts showed Santorum with 45 percent support, Texas Rep. Ron Paul with 27 percent and Romney who won the state in his rst try for the nomination four years ago with 17 percent. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich trailed with 11 percent. Romney prevailed in both Minnesota and Colorado in 2008, the rst time he ran for the nomination, but the GOP has become more conservative in both states since then under the inuence of tea party activists. And he lacked the overwhelming advantage in television advertising, including ercely negative attacks on his rivals, that had helped him in other states this year. In Colorado, with returns counted from 55 percent of the precincts, Romney and Santorum each had 36 percent, Santorum claiming a scant 14-vote margin. Gingrich had 14 percent, and Paul trailed with 13 percent. Romney showed no sign of disappointment in remarks to supporters. This was a good night for Rick Santorum. I want to congratulate Sen.

REUTERS

Rick Santorum has glitter thrown on him by a man protesting Santorums stance on gay rights,while a supporter shakes his hand.
Santorum, but I expect to become the nominee with your help, he told supporters in Denver. If the night was good for Santorum, it was grim for Gingrich, who made scant effort in any of the states that voted during the day. He ran far off the pace in both caucus states, forced to watch from the sidelines while Santorum boasted of being the candidate with conservative appeal. There were 37 Republican National Convention delegates at stake in Minnesota and 33 more in Colorado, and together, they accounted for the largest one-day combined total so far in the race for the GOP nomination. The victories were the first for Santorum since he eked out a 34-vote win in the lead-off Iowa caucuses a month ago, and he reveled in the moment. I dont stand here to be the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. I stand here to be the conservative alternative to Barack Obama, he told his supporters. He had faded far from the lead in the primaries and caucuses since, and Gingrich seemed to eclipse him as the leading conservative rival to Romney when he won the South Carolina primary late last month. While Romney throttled back after victories in Florida and Nevada in the past several days, Santorum campaigned aggressively in all three states on the ballot, seeking a breakthrough to revitalize his campaign. He won Minnesota largely the way he did Iowa, dispatching his organizers from the rst state to the second and courting pastors and tea party leaders alike. Romneys campaign moved swiftly to take the sting out of the Missouri vote. The states Republican Sen. Roy Blunt, a Romney supporter, congratulated the winner but noted the states delegates are still up for grabs. He said, Mitt Romney has the organization and the resources to go the distance in this election, and I believe hell ultimately win our partys nomination.

An important step for equal rights

he quest for equal marriage rights for same-sex couples has been a long and storied one. The federal appeals court ruling Tuesday that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional and a violation of the civil rights of gays and lesbians was limited in its scope and only applied to California. That may mean the U.S. Supreme Court will be less likely to take up the issue and that the ruling will stand. Time, however, will tell. The ruling was a victory for supporters of same-sex marriage and this newspaper has long been aligned with that group because of the essence of fairness, decency and human dignity that goes along with that stance. Equal marriage rights will always have opponents and we respect their ideology and rationale for their stance, however, times and attitudes change and there will be a time in which our collective society looks back and asks, so what exactly was the big deal? That will be a time in which same-sex couples enjoy the same rights as

Editorial
everyone else and the complications of separate classifications of relationships is no more. In an ideal world, the process to that ultimate goal would also be cleaner without the hangups of judicial precedent being set over a popular vote. For that reason, it is important for supporters of same-sex marriage to conduct an initiative campaign to repeal Proposition 8 and have that popular vote stand in the logs of our state history. Only then will the challenges subside and only then can we all move on. Tuesdays ruling was less than perfect, and it is always cause for alarm when the judicial system injects itself into a popular vote. But the ends sometimes do justify the means, especially when a popular vote diminishes the rights of an entire group of people. There has been significant action on gay rights in the past decade. It is hard to believe it has been nearly a

decade since then-San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom directed the city clerk to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2004. Since then, same-sex marriage has been through the works in the court system and through the electorate leading up to Tuesdays ruling. The militarys dont ask, dont tell was repealed and the federal government decided it would no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act, passed more than 15 years ago. There are countless people in committed same-sex relationships who deserve the same protections, rights and responsibilities as others with the same type of commitments. Our nation has reached a tipping point in which disapproval of same-sex relationships can no longer be legally defended regardless of ones own moral stance. With Tuesdays ruling, another important battle was won toward equality for all. It is a significant step, but just one more in a long and involved journey we must all take together.

The Miracle on Glenview Drive

rich Fromm, in his book, The Art of Loving, wrote about a generous person. He enriches the other person, he enhances the others sense of aliveness by enhancing his own aliveness. He does not give in order to receive; giving is in itself exquisite joy. But in giving he cannot help bringing something to life in the other person, and this which is brought to life reflects back to him. As the pipeline safety concerns and related litigation continues about the PG&E San Bruno disaster, its easy to lose sight of how the impact of that fateful day (Sept. 9, 2010) continues to haunt survivors to this day. Im thinking of a woman whose name is Maria Elena Barr who lives near the devastation and who was very lucky, as she says, to survive the blast and fire. She recently told me a touching story that relates to this. Though she lives nearby, until recently this very lucky lady was unable to make herself walk up Glenview Drive where much of the devastation occurred. Though her home escaped the worst devastation, she took her daily walks in the other direction because she just couldnt bring herself to view the scene. Finally, there came a day when she said that since she was feeling good about my resolve to heal my mind and body, I decided to confront my fear and walk up Glenview Drive. As she walked along, she came upon a sight that amazed her. Beyond the devastation she found an oasis a bench, several new trees and a birdbath. She calls it neighborhood miracle on Glenview Drive in San Bruno. While she was standing there, a couple who live across the street from her discovery, joined her. They explained that it is a memorial to those lost in the conflagration and that they, and several nearby neighbors, had funded it. Maria sent me an email explaining all of this and wrote: I am glad there are people like them in this world, who without being asked to give, will give freely of their time and resources to make our neighborhood beautiful. These neighbors have built a touchable, visible, living monument to those who lost their lives that day. These are people with love in their hearts. It brings to mind what Saint Basil said many years ago: A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love. Besides the romantic connotations of Feb. 14, lets let Valentines Day remind us about the importance of keeping that warm place in our hearts for those around us. How wonderful it would be if more of us, like Maria and her neighbors, appreciated the importance of thinking about our loved ones and community by contributing to the welfare of all. Good will among all of us in this country is something that has been evaporating rapidly lately. Events in the news remind us every day that, in general, people are becoming greedier, more thoughtless, less compassionate, more selfish and increasingly separated by ideologies. So how about doing Maria, yourself, the world and me a favor. Make it a point to let your loved ones and people in your community know how you appreciate them for the contributions they make to the quality of your life. It can be a small thing like telling the people across the street how much you enjoy the flowers blooming in their front yard or as big as gathering neighbors together to contribute to some good cause like those generous people on Glenview Drive did when they created the memorial to the blast victims. But possibilities do not stop there. From donating generously to charities that help those who are in need, to volunteering to help out in a school, to gathering people together to protest some injustice, to treating the fans of the opposing team at Candlestick Park with respect, to making more relaxed time to spend with those we love, we all can plant kindness and gather love. Im sure you can think of other ways we can bring something to life in the other person that reflects back to us. Happy Valentines Day! We are one, after all, you and I. Together we suffer, together exist and forever will recreate each other. Tilbard de Chardin.

Parking ticket
Editor, Movie: $15; Lunch: $25; Parking ticket: $40; Total: $80. This is the price I had to pay for taking my wife to a movie and lunch. For a couple who are on a fixed income we no longer will patronize the merchants in downtown San Mateo. The movie and lunch we could live with. The parking ticket is another story. We parked our van on the second floor of the parking lot between First and Second avenues. When I attempted to pay at the machine, it read machine not working. I made five attempts to pay but the machine still would not accept my money. We went ahead with our plans for the movie and lunch. Upon returning, we found a ticket on our windshield. I paid the ticket and asked for a hearing which I received. What came out of the hearing was that because the machine was not working I should have moved the van. I feel that was a ridiculous response from the city. I understand cities are hurting for revenue but to penalize me for the citys non-working machine goes beyond my comprehension. My wife an I will take our business to Redwood City where we can have our parking validated and not have to worry about getting a ticket. I hope you will publish this so other people will avoid this added expense while trying to patronize the merchants in downtown San Mateo. also physical altercations due to the lack of parking availability. As a tenant, often I am forced to park one or two blocks from my residence with the current parking availability and eliminating more spots with no plans to replace them would make it virtually impossible to park near my own home. I invite the Burlingame City Council to come to the areas in the proposal on a day when many members of the public want to partake in the downtown atmosphere, i.e. a warm summer evening, Art on the Avenue, Art in the Park or to partake in many of the fine restaurants and neighborhood activities and see for themselves the mess of parking Burlingame already suffers from. I will also attend council meetings to voice my displeasure and suggest anyone who may be impacted by the proposal attend and speak up also. Burlingame does not need any more mixed-use venues, it does, however need more public parking and going ahead with this idea would be injurious to the Burlingame community. Oh, and the construction nightmares.

Disappointed in downtown plan

Editor, I was disappointed that the city of Burlingame is considering eliminating public parking lots in favor of mixed use projects. (New housing proposed for Burlingame in the Feb. 4-5 edition of the Daily Journal). Im both a Burlingame business owner and a tenant in the 200 block of Lorton Avenue. Grosvenor Developers and the city of Burlingame are considering redeveloping Public Parking Lot E for a mixed-use project. Eliminating public parking spots would be detrimental to Burlingames overall public interest. If one has gone to the 200 block of Lorton Avenue, Park Road, Burlingame Avenue or Howard Avenue on a pleasant day, they already know that the parking situation is intolerable. People fight for parking spots and double park just to wait for an available spot. Ive seen not only verbal arguments but

week. On Tuesday, it was down as much as 62 points in the rst half-hour of trading. McDonalds rose 1.4 percent, best among the 30 stocks in the Dow, to $100.91, close to its 52-week high. CocaCola rose 0.8 percent after it reported better prots than analysts were expecting. In other trading, the Standard & Poors 500 gained 2.72 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,347.05. The Nasdaq composite rose 2.09 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 2,904.08. The Nasdaq is about a point shy of its best close since December 2000. The jump in U.S. job openings was the latest sign that the job market is improving. The Dow climbed 156 points Friday after the government reported that the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent in January, the lowest in almost three years. Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial Group in Westport, Conn., said that while investors are becoming more optimistic about the economy, there are still signs that theyre allocating money cautiously.

NEW YORK Stocks resumed their slow but steady climb Tuesday as Greece appeared close to announcing a deal with creditors to cut its debt. The Dow Jones industrial average ended at its highest level since May 2008. Stock indexes rose after a report that Greece and the investors who bought its government bonds were close to a deal to reduce what Greece owes. Greeces crushing debt has unnerved nancial markets around the world for two years.

Report: Silicon Valley sees Four Yahoo board growth in jobs and wealth members leaving
By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Silicon Valley is creating jobs and wealth for highly skilled workers but may be leaving some residents behind as employment closes in on pre-Great Recession levels, according to a report released Tuesday. The 2012 Silicon Valley Index found job growth in the hightech hub far outpaced the country as a whole last year. The region added 42,000 jobs, a jump of nearly 4 percent, compared with a nationwide increase of little more than 1 percent. The current unemployment rate in the region stands at 8.3 percent, the same as the national average but well below the overall state rate of 10.9 percent. Job growth occurred in all major sectors of the Silicon Valley economy except manufacturing.

SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo Chairman Roy Bostock and three longtime board members are stepping down, fullling the wishes of many frustrated shareholders who believe the directors have been part of the problem that has dragged down the Internet companys revenue and stock price. The shake-up announced Tuesday continues a drastic makeover of Yahoos leadership during the past month. After Yahoo hired former PayPal executive Scott Thompson as its CEO a few days into the new year, co-founder Jerry Yang resigned from the board and severed all other ties with the company, which he helped start in 1995. Now Bostock is departing after four years as chairman. Many shareholders still blame him and Yang for squandering an opportunity to sell Yahoo to Microsoft Corp. in May 2008 for $47.5 billion, or $33 per share. Yahoos stock hasnt traded above $20 in nearly 3 1/2 years. The shares closed Tuesday at $15.82, up by a penny. In extended trading after the announcement, the stock fell 4 cents to $15.79. In a move that will give Thompson an even cleaner slate as he tries to come up with a new strategy, Yahoo board members Vyomesh Joshi, Arthur Kern and Gary Wilson also agreed not to seek re-election at Yahoos shareholders meeting this June. Kern, a former radio station owner, has been on Yahoos board for more than 15 years. Wilson, a former airline executive, had been a director since 2001, and Joshi, a former HewlettPackard Co. executive, had been a director since 2005. With the housecleaning, all Yahoos directors will have been on the board for two years or fewer.

Perhaps saying that Johnson is the bread and butter isnt fair on a South City team that has won ve of their last six games, Johnson is more like the main course. Over the last four league contests, Johnson has averaged 24 points a game, including a monster 28-point, 6-rebound, 5-assist and 3steal game against a previously undefeated Aragon team.

And last Friday against Westmoor he went off for 28 points to go with ve rebounds and 10 assists. He also hit several clutch shots including a

As sign GM Dons take Ocean title Beane to extension

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The mission was simple for the Aragon girls basketball team Tuesday night: beat Jefferson, clinch the Peninsula Athletic Leagues Ocean Division title. It was easier said than done. After a poor shooting performance through the rst three quarters, the Dons nally found the range in the fourth. They used an 11-0 run to start the fourth quarter, turning a 44-41 decit into a 52-44 lead and then slowly pulled away from a scrappy Jefferson squad to post a 62-48 win. We knew this was big, said Aragon senior guard Justine Kubo, who scored a game-high 19 points. Going into [the game] we knew Jeff is a very competitive team. Kubo had torched Jefferson in two previous matchups, going for 28 in the Irvington tournament and 38 in the rst league matchup of the season. The Indians were determined not to let Kubo beat them this time. In fact, Jefferson was dead set on not allowing the Dons to clinch the title against them. Behind the play of point guard Taylor Collins, Jefferson led for the rst three quarters of the game. The Indians led 15-10 after one quarter, 34-30 at halftime and 44-41 going into the nal eight minutes. The Indians suffered a huge blow, however, when they lost Collins, who led Jefferson with 14 points, for all but 30 seconds of the second half. On Jeffersons rst possession of the third quarter, she drove along the baseline, put up a shot and came down awkwardly on her ankle. She was carried off the court and after a few minutes, it appeared she was going to try and re-enter the game, but her ankle just did not allow it. Without Collins, the Indians did not have a condent ball handler or a calming inuence to run their offense. Aragon took advantage, coming up with seven of its 12 steals in the fourth quarter. We should have won. We had them, said Jefferson coach John Moore. One injury to a key player and youre hurting. Said Kubo: Taylors a great player. She was having such a great game.

Billy Beane is planning to stay in the Bay Area for the long haul. Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff said Tuesday that the team has agreed to extend the contracts of the general manager as well as team President Michael Crowley through the 2019 season. Wolff, conrming comments rst made on Bloomberg Television, wrote in an email to The Associated Press that the deals are in the process of being nalized. Wolff is counting on Billy Beane Beanes leadership and innovation to lead the club in a new stadium in the San Jose area. The franchise needs approval from Major League Baseball to move to the south bay, where the San Francisco Giants hold territorial rights to the technology-rich region lled with fans and corporate dollars. The As are hoping for a resolution to the long-standing dispute soon. Beane and Crowley hold small ownership stakes in the team. Crowley took over as team president at the end of the 1998 season. Beane has been Oaklands general manager since 1997. He is the subject of Michael Lewis 2003 book on baseball statistics and economics titled Moneyball, which was made into a lm starring Brad Pitt as Beane last year. Beane bucked the baseball trend of relying on the common trio of statistics batting average, home runs and RBIs for hitters; wins, losses and ERA for pitchers and instead turned to hard numbers over subjective scouting to fuel his teams successful runs in the early 2000s. His staff helped usher in what became known as the stats revolution, a complete overhaul from the early days of the basic

WADA: 1 in 10 athletes may be doping

By John Leicester
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAUSANNE, Switzerland The World Anti-Doping Agency said new research ndings expected this spring could suggest as many as 1 in 10 athletes who compete internationally may be doping. Accepted wisdom, drawn from annual testing statistics, was that maybe between 1 and

2 percent of athletes who are tested are cheating, WADA director general David Howman said Tuesday. We think those numbers are more in the double digits. WADA is supporting research projects into the prevalence of doping among internationallevel athletes, with ndings expected to be released before the London Games in July. If there is more than 10 percent of the athletes in the world being tempted to take the

shortcut by taking prohibited substances, then weve got an issue that is not being confronted as well as it should be, Howman said. He gave no details about how the research is being conducted, the methodology, or who is conducting it. In a separate interview with The Associated Press, Howman stressed the research is not nalized and suggested it would be wrong to conclude that 10 percent of athletes who compete in London might cheat.

People go to the Olympic Games very well prepared for a big event, knowing if they are going to make a mistake it is the worst shame they can bring upon themselves, their family ... (and) therefore less likely for people to take the shortcuts, he said. The dopey guy is going to be picked up, and probably going to be picked up in pre-games testing. The real sophisticated guy might try to get away with it. But the program is going to be extensive.

Aragon cant crack Bearsgoal

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Soccer purists will tell you that there is something almost poetic about watching a game morph into a chess match 80 minutes of play when every single move counts and all the players are scheming pawns with every run and pass. For that to be the case though, you need two very cerebral teams and in the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division, they dont come any smarter than Aragon and MenloAtherton. Thus, even in a game that ended in a nil-nil draw, there was still plenty of excitement to go around enough to give any 3-2 game a run for their money. There was no checkmate Tuesday afternoon though, and both teams could pull moral victories from that. At 8-1-1, Aragon came in with a ve-point lead over the Bears in the standings. A loss would have made things very interesting with three games left to play in the regular season the draw keeps the Dons with the upper hand as the year turns to its twilight. You look at (M-As) goals-for, said Aragon head coach Will Colglazier, and its easily 10 more than their closest competitor and we shut them out this year so I think that says a lot about our defense. But I also told my girls, I felt this was our best game against tough competition. That was a good team and we were able to possess its sometimes easy to possess against weaker teams but I thought we did that in the second half against a strong team. As its been the case the entire season, the Aragon defense stood up

tall against arguably the most electric team in the PAL, maybe CCS even, with forwards Jennifer Kirst and Meryssa Thompson whove combined for 32 goals this season. We wanted to pressure hard, said Aragon defender Lexie Rogers, who was instrumental in stopping M-As dynamic duo, especially with Rachel Killigrew pushed up slightly forward as a hybrid sweeperdefending midfielder, perhaps to help spark the offensive attack a bit. We wanted to give them all we got, stop all through balls and stop them from getting anything behind us, she said, adding that M-A is by far one of the best offensive teams the Dons have faced all season long. M-A almost made the Aragon defense pay and it took a pair of great saves by Ashley Lentz to preserve the clean sheet the 12th for the junior goalkeeper this season. We put up some more offensive attack in the second half, said M-A head coach Paul Snow. I think their tness level paid off, they were able to make some good runs and support their two forwards. We got a couple good shots, a couple good attacks in the second half. The rst half, it was more adapting to their attack and their double-teams. Aragon is an impressive side. Snows biggest concern coming in was his defense, who was missing half of its starters, most notably sweeper Diane Masket who was out battling an illness. Forced to move some things around, Snow acknowledged it was key for his team to survive the urry of Aragon in the rst half and be specic and methodical with their chances in the second half. While the Bears got their looks, the clear focus was on supporting the back

counterpart in goal, Caitlyn Lanigan of M-A was sure-handed on a couple of Aragon shots and under constant pressure by the Dons, the junior stood strong. She had a great game, Snow said. Even when it got slippery, the ball was sticking to her amazing game by her. Its mid-February, Colglazier said of his squad, now we have to start stringing some things together. Were playing like the NFL (New York) Giants you have to get hot at the right time. Were healthy, were getting hot and I like where were at right now.

Carlmont 7, Capuchino 0
With M-As draw, Thursdays matchup against Carlmont takes on added importance for both teams. The Scots held up their end of the bargain Tuesday, beating Capuchino in a very odd game, 7-0. According to Carlmont head coach Tina Doss, the Mustangs started the game with eight players, with Capuchino hurting and shorthanded following a blood drive at school. The Scots elded eight players to begin the game as well and dominated the head referee called the game with 15 minutes left in regulation. Carlmont got goals from Maritza Gomez, Mary Cochran, Jacqueline Reliford, Lauren Conrad, Brenna Lewman, Carly Richardson and Malak El-Khatib. With Thursdays showdown looming, Aragon sits in rst place with 28 points. Carlmont picks up two points on the Dons and is in second place with 24 points. M-A is third with 21.

line and preventing the Dons from nding the back of the net. We were just trying to stay healthy, Snow said. It was tough. I had to play some people who werent used to playing back there, so for them to hang tough against a very offensive side like that was impressive and Im proud of the way they played. With Aragon honed in on Kirst and Thompson, Elizabeth Cruz had herself a nice second half for M-A, controlling the ball and feeding her forwards on the Bears best two looks at goal. While the Dons relied on the speed of Addy Eveslage to widen the eld a bit. Her runs produced a couple of corner kicks, which Aragon usually cashes in on. But not on Tuesday like her

Despite loss to Foothill, CSM still have work to do

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

If there was one thing the College of San Mateo womens basketball team could take away from its 86-76

loss to top-ranked Foothill Friday night is the fact the Bulldogs stayed in the game until the end. The rst time around, Foothill blasted the Bulldogs by 22 points. It is denitely a positive, said

CSM coach Michelle Warner. They killed us in transition in the rst game. The second go-around was for rst place in the Coast Conference North Division standings, in which

CSM came up short. Although Warner wont say her team lost the game at the free-throw line, it certainly didnt help that the Owls went to the line a whopping 48 times, converting 29 attempts.

Conversely, the Bulldogs had 28 attempts, hitting 21 of them. Ive never seen that many free throws before, Warner said. I was in shock after the game.

Knicks coach Mike DAntoni knew Lin was intelligent he had a 4.2 grade-point average in high school. What he didnt know was whether Lin could play in the NBA, and for a while he was hesitant to nd out. The Knicks struggled out of the gate, and even though DAntoni had seen glimpses from Lin, he worried this wasnt the time to turn to a guy who just recently was sent to the NBA Development League. I was afraid to do anything, were already in a little bit of a crisis and I just cant be, you know, pulling straws, just trying something, a whim. Other players would be looking at me like You crazy? if it didnt work, DAntoni said. Now he just kept showing stuff a little bit, a little bit. When he got one opportunity, he took advantage of it. Lin scored 25 points Saturday after crashing at teammate Landry Fields place because his brother, with whom he normally stays, had company. He then scored a careerbest 28 Monday in his rst NBA start, a victory over Utah as Linsanity was trending on Twitter in New York. The excitement he has caused in the Garden, man, I hadnt seen that in a long time. The way he can penetrate, and can get in that lane, and either shoot it or dish it, has really made them a better basketball team, said Johnson, the Lakers Hall of Famer who watched both games. When they started chanting last night MVP! I fell out. It was really wonderful for the young man. When you get a spark a like this, especially in a season like this, this could carry them for a long time because they needed something to happen positive. Everything has been really negative. DAntoni had already gone through three point guards this season while waiting for Baron Davis to become available. Despite having All-Stars Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire, the Knicks struggled to score because they couldnt nd anyone to properly run DAntonis pickand-roll offense. The coach said it isnt that difcult, but it takes some intelligence, something the economics major has plenty of along with some overlooked physical gifts.

Lin becomes New Yorks newest star World Cup workers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREENBURGH, N.Y. Linsanity has taken over Madison Square Garden, and even Magic Johnson was captivated watching New Yorks newest star. The only guy who doesnt seem impressed is Jeremy Lin. The Knicks new point guard refuses to get his own place to live, just in case the team Jeremy Lin decides to cut him this week before his contract becomes guaranteed. He takes no satisfaction in proving he wasnt a one-hit wonder, because he could be like a twotime wonder. And no, he doesnt consider himself all that smart, regardless of that Harvard education. Thats a stereotype, Lin said Tuesday. (Former Golden State teammate) David Lee would be the rst to tell you, he always calls me the dumbest smart guy he knows. Depends on who you ask I guess.

say they will strike

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAO PAULO Workers building and renovating Brazils stadiums for the 2014 World Cup are threatening to go on strike if employers dont agree to their demands for unied salaries and benets. There have been isolated strikes across the nation, but unions representing the workers in each of the 12 host cities are trying to come together to plead for better conditions. Union leader Claudio da Silva Gomes said Tuesday the workers are ready to go on strike as early as next month if construction companies dont agree to give employees the same salaries and benets regardless of the venue. FIFA has said World Cup preparations are behind schedule,and stadium construction has been one of the main concerns. The strike would likely create even more delays at several venues, especially the ones to be used for the Confederations Cup next year. We have workers doing almost exactly the same kind of work but they are not earning the same salary or being entitled to the same benets

at the different venues. This doesnt make sense, said Gomes, a leader at the national union organization CUT. If they are doing the same work, they should be getting paid the same salary, regardless of which region they are working in. He said there are different salaries and benets to workers even when the same construction company is involved. Pay discrepancies are common in Brazil in nearly all sectors, especially in the more impoverished north and northeast regions. Gomes said workers in the southeast and the southern regions are making nearly twice as much as the ones in the northeast. Its going to be more difcult to reach an agreement in these areas because the difference between what workers are making there compared to those in the south is significant, he said. Support in the cities where workers receive better salaries may not be as strong. Workers in Rio, for example, said they might not join the movement if they are able reach a separate agreement locally.

plate what could have been as they still have business to take care of if they want to nish the season in second place. In fact, given that City College of San Francisco beat Foothill in the rst round, there is still a chance there could be a three-way tie for first place between CSM, Foothill and San Francisco assuming CSM wins its nal two games. And that is what Warner is focused on. We still have two weeks left, she said. We have to stay the course. The good news is the Bulldogs have only one game a week for the next two weeks, which should enable them to get healthy for the playoffs. The Bulldogs were at a distinct disadvantage against Foothill without the services of 6-foot center Sarah Balling, who suffered a grade 2 sprained ankle against Las Positas. She gave it a go against the Owls, but played only a couple of minutes. Sarah is really the only size we have, Warner said. [Balling] would have helped us a lot rebounding. [Churel Kanongataa] lled in for Sarah (scoring 12 points and pulling down nine rebounds). Shes just not the defensive stopper Sarah is. Tonight, the Bulldogs will drive across the San Mateo Bridge to take on Chabot, before nishing the regular season next Wednesday against rival Skyline. Chabot, however, presents the rst hurdle and while CSM ended up beating the Gladiators by 14, 66-52, the rst time around, Warner is not taking them lightly. Nialah Davis ate up CSM, scoring 23 points and grabbing 11 boards. They can dribble, they can pass, theyre fast, and then they dump it into [Davis], Warner said. We want to run on them and make them play defense.

upon his return from an ankle injury. Thats why weve been playing better. It took us a couple of games to get going, but weve been playing solid basketball since (Johnsons return). Johnson proved he was all-the-way back from his injury following his clutch play against Westmoor. With the game on the line, there was no doubt which Warriors would handle the rock and take that key shot. I think everyone in the building knew the ball was going to him, Chevez said. And he got just a slight opening, pulled up and nailed it top of the key jumper. And it was a just a slight opening because (Westmoor) defended him well. It was unbelievable. He had three hands in his face. Hes been hitting clutch shots for two years now. The Warriors appear to be peaking at the right time. With two games left, they have a sliver of hope in the division. And come next week, Johnson will lead South City into the PAL tournament. Last year, the Warriors made it all the way to the nals, taking down Capuchino and El Camino before falling to Burlingame in the championship. For the Warriors to repeat that feat, No. 30 must stay hot. Hes going to have to be his spectacular self, Chevez said. The rest of our team is going to have to ll in around him and follow his leadership.
Between the play of Collins and post players Tiara Cobbins and Gemaraiah Tufono, along with contributions from Sammie Martinez and Ezmi Navarro, Jefferson threatened to put Aragon in a deep hole come halftime. Jefferson (4-5) eventually built up a 3022 lead on a Tufono bucket with 2:03 left in the second quarter, but Aragon closed the half with a 9-4 run to end the half down four, 3430. After Collins went down, the Indians weathered the storm for the third before the Dons turned up the defensive intensity in the fourth quarter. They also found the range on their shooting, going 8 for 16 from the oor over the nal eight minutes. [The game] changed drastically (when Collins went down), Moore said. My (shooting) guards are good, but they cant handle the ball. We stayed in the game until the bitter end.

SAN JOSE Owen Nolan, who hasnt played in the NHL since the 2009-10 season, announced his retirement Tuesday at the San Jose Sharks home rink. I guess Ive known this day was here for a while, said Nolan, a vetime all-star and Olympic gold medalist with Canada. Its tough to give it up when your heart and mind wants to keep doing it. My body cant keep up and I had to accept that. Nolan, who lives in San Jose, played 18 seasons and scored 422 goals with 463 assists in 1,200 games. He Owen Nolan played for the Quebec Nordiques and Colorado Avalanche, the Sharks, Toronto Maple Leafs, Phoenix Coyotes, Calgary Flames and, most recently, the Minnesota Wild. Nolan was with the Wild in 200910 and played in Zurich last year. Nolan retired ranked 71st on the NHLs career goals list, 33rd in power-play goals and 100th in points. The former Sharks captain, who turns 40 Sunday, was the rst overall pick in the 1990 draft and reached the NHL after playing six games with the AHLs Halifax Citadels.

Big Ten exploring 4-team playoff

By Larry Lage
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Four is better than two.

Mark Hollis,Michigan State athletic director

The Big Ten, which helped squash the notion of a four-team playoff to crown a national champion in college football several years ago, is taking another look. BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said Tuesday night thats good news. Our process is working perfectly, Hancock said. One of good things about our process is that theres no timetable so that a deliberate and thoughtful decision can be reached. The tricky part is our 11 conference commissioners and the Notre Dame AD may have 12 different opinions about the direction we should go over the next six to eight months. Hancock, who still expects a conclusion in July, said the group of BCS decision-makers will meet again at the end of this month. Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis said all of the Big Ten athletic directors are comfortable exploring the possibility of a four-team playoff. Four is better than two, Hollis said. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith agreed and said the discussions stem from feedback that we need to do something different, especially after the recent BCS title game between LSU and Alabama drew lower ratings that other championship games. The fans have been loud and clear, Smith said. We also recognize that structurally theres things that we want to try and change with the bowl system how teams get in the bowls. Its time to be curious about everything. The BCS title game pits the nations top two teams based on poll and computer rankings. The Chicago Tribune reported Monday that one idea before the Big Ten calls for playing the two seminal games on the campuses of the higher seeded teams, with the national championship held in a city awarded hosting rights like the Super Bowl. The so-called plus-one format two seminals plus the title game was proposed in

2008 by the commissioners of the Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference. It was shot down by the leaders of the Big Ten, Pac-10, Big East, Big 12 and Notre Dame. I am pleased to hear there is renewed interest in the plus-one format, the same format we introduced for consideration in 2008, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said in a statement to the AP. There are many details that need to be considered and it is premature to be campaigning for any particular plus-one model. The 11 Bowl Championship Series conferences have already met to discuss possible changes to the system starting in 2014. NCAA President Mark Emmert has said he supports a four-team championship playoff and is strongly against a 16-team format. Emmert has also said there has been talk of using a Final Four model, a scenario which could have matched LSU against Stanford and Alabama versus Oklahoma State this season, with the winners advancing to the title game. Despite the Big Tens interest in a playoff, there is at least one big hurdle: The Rose Bowl, with its storied history to two of the nations biggest conferences. The Rose Bowl is extremely important to Michigan State just as it is to every school in the Big Ten and Pac-12, Hollis said. There are more questions than answers about how any format would work, including where the games would be played and what the bowltype experiences would be like in a championship format. My eyes are always open to explore all opportunities, but I dont think we want to exceed 15 games. Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon, who is open to any option that includes keeping the conference and Pac-12 tied to the Rose Bowl, said hes not sure the plus-one model will please everybody.

jam would seem an unlikely ingredient to be overlooked. After all, legions of parents rely on the many offerings of the grocers PB&J aisle to maintain peace with the lunch box crowd. Except that when you peer past the usual suspects strawberry, raspberry, grape, apricot you nd some seriously wonderful hidden jam gems that belong as much at the dinner table as they do slathered between slices of bread. My favorite? Fig. Fig jam has a thick, almost dense consistency and a rich, full sweetness that isnt cloying the way many preserves are. My theory on that? Much of the sweetness comes from natural sugars; gs have one of the highest sugar contents among fruits. Except they arent technically a fruit. Figs actually are owers folded in on themselves. The tiny, crunchy seeds inside are the fruit. Whatever. Fig jam loves to be paired with Mediterranean avors, from oregano and feta cheese to almonds and just about anything lemony.

Fig jam loves to be paired with Mediterranean avors,from oregano and feta cheese to almonds and just about anything lemony.
And its great with meat, in part because it is loaded with an enzyme that is a potent (and delicious) tenderizer. Which means you should consider adding a bit to your next beef stew. Or rub it under the skin of a chicken or turkey before roasting. Or substitute it for the apricot jam called for in many sweet-and-sour chicken recipes. And thats just the start. To make the best grilled cheese ever, slap some cheddar, a bit of sliced ham or prosciutto and some g jam between slices of sourdough, then toast until oozy and crisp. For more ideas for using g jam, check out the Off the Beaten Aisle column over on Food Network: http://bit.ly/yKcrmb . Or try it in this crazy good tomato, avocado and feta salad with g vinaigrette.

NEW YORK You may like the food you buy, but is it Great for You? Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plans to help its customers figure that out by adding a new green icon that reads Great for You to packaging of some of its house-brand foods. The green and white seal, which shows the stylized outline of a human gure with its arms spread toward the sky, is part of a multiyear campaign the worlds largest retailer is undertaking to promote healthier products and ght childhood obesity. Food makers and sellers have come under scrutiny in the past for adding nutritional seals to the fronts of packages. The Food and Drug Administration said in 2009 that some companies used them misleadingly. The FDA is developing standards for what health claims can be made on food packages, but Wal-Mart says its customers want the information now.

academic credit and coincide with Stanford Universitys quarterly system. The fate of Astaria, however, has yet to be decided. We love that restaurant. We are hoping to continue to work with Astaria but are not sure exactly how it will work, he said. The penthouse on the top oor will be open to the public and will likely be a skybar with sweeping views of the Bay, he said. The pool will be removed for a patio, he said. Draper said the best benet of the proposed university would be the students who come from around the world and then stay to start their own businesses. A new storefront is also proposed for the ground oor and new paint scheme as well, said architect Tim Murphy. Draper elded questions in the hotels stately ballroom last night. Many had questions as to how to prevent students from parking in nearby residential neighborhoods while others asked him why the school would only be open to 18 to 24 year olds. Grosvenor proposes to either pay an in-lieu fee to compensate for the loss of city-owned and managed parking spaces on the property. The rm is also open to discussing ideas for helping the city construct a parking structure on lot J, across Park Road from lot E. Resident Russ Cohen, a former councilman, spoke against taking in-lieu fees or displacing property. Instead he preferred to see projects with parking to match the need. Equity Residential, a real estate investment trust based in Chicago, has a proposal for lot F, located between Lorton Avenue, Park Road, Howard Avenue and Bayswater Avenue; and lot N located between Lorton, Highland, low-fat dairy products. Foods that have too many articial additives, or too much fat, dont make the cut, Wal-Mart said. Regular pasta, white rice and yogurt with added sugar will not carry the seal. Nutritional guidelines always have gray areas. Eggs were debated because of worries over their high cholesterol, for example, but Our school is not for those who want to reinvent themselves, he said. For older students, Draper said, the university will offer online courses. He is hoping to work with Stanford and other nearby universities to offer college credit for the 10-week courses. Julia Yeh, with San Mateos planning department, said the concept is still preliminary and that the city has not reviewed the project yet. No redevelopment agency funds were committed to the project, Yeh said. About 100 people attended last nights neighborhood meeting. The hotel will house the students but where classes will be conducted has yet to be determined, Draper said. Draper provided seed funding for high-tech successes including Hotmail and Skype and is the founder of Draper Fisher Jurvetson, a global venture capital rm. He bought the Ben Frank for less than $6 million in a Dutch auction last year.

The hotel was previously mostly leased by United Airlines to house stewardesses and pilots. He did caution the crowd, however, that the proposed Draper University is not quite a done deal. Six months ago I didnt know what we would do. I still dont know for sure, Draper said last night. Plans include accommodating about 150 students at a time in 10week sessions. The school generally will teach fundamentals in business for students aged 18 to 24. We want to build one of the greatest entrepreneurial schools in the world and recruit the greatest minds, Draper said. If the plan becomes a reality, students will be asked not to bring cars to campus as downtown has a shortage of spaces. We are going to tell students they cannot bring cars, he said. Draper University intends to offer and/or restaurant space and 125 residential parking spaces, according to a staff report written by Community Development Director Bill Meeker. Baylock questioned using the post ofce, which could be a historic property. Creating a voluntary historic registry is part of the Downtown Specic Plan, however strong regulations on how to address such properties wasnt expressly addressed. Grosvenor representatives said the company has experience working with historic properties. During public comments, resident Jennifer Pfaff expressed a desire for the council to revisit how to handle historic properties since it was a concern for those working on the downtown plan. for them, Andrea Thomas, senior vice president of sustainability for Wal-Mart Stores, said Monday in a conference call with reporters. The criteria will be outlined at www.walmartgreatforyou.com and allow all-natural foods, as well as foods without added sugar or too much fat, including fresh fruits and vegetables and items such as whole wheat pasta and

would be ample time for public input. We need to have the courage to go into a process without all the answers, said Councilman Michael Brownrigg, who served on the subcommittee that vetted the plans. The council agreed but not without publicly asking questions. Councilwoman Cathy Baylock read two pages worth of concerns typed up prior to the meeting. Some of the topics were simply information requests such as what is the market value of the properties being dis-

cussed while others were logistical points noting parking lots on the outskirts of downtown are often utilized overnight by families living nearby. Historic properties was another issue with one proposal. Grosvenor, an international property development, investment and fund management group, put forward a mixed-use project using lot E located between Lorton Avenue, Park Road, Burlingame Avenue and Howard Avenue and the adjacent post ofce. The concept encompasses both properties and was created in partnership with San Franciscobased BAR Architects. It includes an urban village with 100 residential units, 35,000 square feet of retail The seal also will appear on signs near bins of fruits and vegetables and on some of Wal-Marts in-house products under the Marketside brand. The company said 20 to 25 percent of its Great Value-brand foods meet the criteria for the new seal, though it didnt say how many products will carry it. It helps customers see very, very quickly what healthier choices are

Howard and Bayswater avenues. In partnership with San Franciscobased Steinberg Architects, the vision includes creating 140 urban ats consisting of one- and twobedroom units, 90 of which could be designed to have direct access to landscaped areas. Parking for the proposal would be a combination of on-site and replacement parking for displaced spaces. Since the proposals are simply ideas at this point, some questions couldnt be answered. Mayor Jerry Deal, for example, was curious if residential units would be rental property or condos for purchase. He preferred offering more affordable homes people could purchase to boost business in the area. Thomas said they earned the seal because they are a low-cost source of protein. The FDA in 2009 said it would develop its own standards for health claims on food package fronts, but it has yet to do so. The agency said then that the proliferation of different labels created by different food companies could confuse consumers.

A Caesar salad for the chillier months

By J.M. Hirsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

No matter how delicious a Caesar salad is, chilly temperatures tend to be a turnoff for all things leafy green. Which is why I decided to tinker with the basics of this classic salad, to see whether I could make a winter-friendly version that was true to its tangy, cheesy roots, but also hardy enough to be desirable on a snowy night. I kept the classic Romaine base, but bulked it up with roasted cubes of butternut squash. Warm and substantial, butternut is the perfect base for a robust Caesar dressing. Add to that some freshly made croutons (the oven is already on for the squash, so why not?) and its a perfect vegetarian dinner. Want to make it more substantial? No need to dirty a pan. Slice some boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips, season with salt, pepper and garlic powder, toss them on the baking sheet with the croutons and squash for the last 20 minutes of baking, then cut them into chunks and toss with the salad.

BUTTERNUT CAESAR SALAD

Start to nish: 40 minutes Servings: 4 For the squash: 20-ounces peeled and cubed butternut squash 1 tablespoon olive oil Salt and ground black pepper For the croutons: 10 ounces rustic bread, cut into croutons (about 4 cups) 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and ground black pepper 1 teaspoon garlic powder For the dressing: 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 3 cloves garlic 4 anchovy llets Juice of 1 lemon 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, divided 2 heads Romaine lettuce, chopped Heat the oven to 400F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the squash with the oil, tossing to coat. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then transfer to one half of the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the bread cubes in the same bowl, then drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Season lightly with salt, pepper and the garlic powder. Set aside. To make the dressing, in a blender, combine the olive oil, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, Dijon, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan. Blend until smooth. Set aside. After the squash has roasted for 10 minutes, add the bread to the other half of the baking sheet. Return to the oven for another 20 minutes. Remove the squash and bread from the oven and set aside to cool until still warm, but not hot. Set the Romaine in a large bowl, then drizzle with a bit of the dressing and toss well. Divide between 4 serving plates. Top each serving with squash and croutons, then drizzle with the remaining dressing. Sprinkle each serving with some of the remaining Parmesan.

Fiber key to a healthy winter dinner

determine the appropriate prep time.

The key to ensuring that dinner is both substantial and healthy? Fiber. Adding plenty of whole grains and vegetables not only provides piles of nutrients, it also lls you up and keeps you full for long after the meal has nished. These foods also tend to be lower in calories, which means you can load up without getting weighed down. This one-dish meal is rich in savory avors thanks to a blend of mushrooms and cheese, as well as plenty of ber from the farro. The avors of the stufng combine with the sweetness of acorn squash and fresh, bright citrus and herbs to create a meal that will feel less like youre leaving something out and more like youre indulging in something hearty. Farro is an ancient variety of wheat common in Italian and Middle Eastern cooking. It usually is sold parcooked to make it quick-cooking, so be sure to check your packages instructions to

FARRO AND MUSHROOM STUFFED ACORN SQUASH

Start to nish: 50 minutes Servings: 4 1 large acorn squash (about 1 1/2 pounds) 1/2 cup farro 8 ounces mixed mushrooms, chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 shallots, chopped 2 cups baby spinach 1/2 teaspoon orange zest 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese 4 lemon wedges Heat the oven to 375 F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the acorn squash into quarters. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Trim off a small slice of skin from the curved side of each quarter to allow it to sit at. Spritz a 9-by-9-inch baking dish with

cooking spray and arrange the squash in the pan, skin side down. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until just softened. Meanwhile, make the stufng. Add the farro to the boiling water and cook until tender but still al dente, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes, or until well browned. Add the garlic, shallots, spinach, orange zest, thyme and oregano, then cook for 3 more minutes. Stir in the drained farro. When the squash is ready, spoon the stufng into the center of each quarter. Sprinkle the feta cheese over the stufng and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. Serve each squash quarter with a wedge of lemon.

Their book is meant to show children that there are all kinds of families and that they are all equally valuable. All families, whether its two moms, two dads or one mom, should be valued, he said. State and federal lawmakers agreed. I look forward to the day when samesex couples may once again marry in California and enjoy the rights and freedoms of all married couples. The legal battle is not yet over, but this landmark decision is an important step toward marriage equality for same-sex couples in California, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein wrote in a statement. Feinstein is working at the federal level to protect and restore the rights of same-sex couples, including the 18,000 legally married, same-sex couples who were married in California before Proposition 8 passed. She is currently pushing legislation that will strike the Defense of Marriage Act, passed in 1996, from federal law. DOMA denes marriage under federal law as between one man and one woman. Yesterdays court ruling, U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto said, was a victory for civil rights. This ruling and our Constitution have afrmed the equality of all Americans, and reminds us of how sacred these rights are, Eshoo wrote in a statement. Gov. Jerry Brown applauded the wisdom and courage of the court decision. The court has rendered a powerful afrmation of the right of same-sex couples to marry, Brown wrote in a statement. If the decision is appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, said yesterdays 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling should be followed. Todays ruling that Californias divisive Proposition 8 is unconstitutional The measure serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to ofcially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples, Judge Stephen Reinhardt, one of the courts most liberal judges, wrote in the 2-1 opinion. Opponents of gay marriage planned to ask the Supreme Court to overturn the ruling, which came more than a year after the appeals court panel heard arguments in the case. We are not surprised that this Hollywood-orchestrated attack on marriage tried in San Francisco turned out this way. But we are condent that the expressed will of the American people in favor of marriage will be upheld at the Supreme Court, said Brian Raum, senior counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal aid group based in Arizona that helped defend Proposition 8. Legal analysts questioned whether the Supreme Court would agree to take the case because of the narrow scope of the ruling. California is the only state to grant gays the right to marry and rescind it. Douglas NeJaime, an associate professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, said the California-specific scope of the 9th Circuit panels decision means the Supreme Court can uphold it without ruling on marriage for samesex couples on a national scale. In effect, the 9th Circuits decision allows the Supreme Court to continue the incremental, case-by-case trajectory of marriage for same-sex couples in the United States, NeJaime said in an email. Weddings appeared unlikely to resume anytime soon. The ruling will not take effect until the deadline passes needs to be replicated by the U.S. Supreme Court so that people who love each other may marry. This is one very important step closer to true equality in this country, Speier wrote in a statement. Equal rights for same-sex couples is long overdue, state Sen. Leland Yee, DSan Francisco, said yesterday. Todays 9th Circuit decision is another step forward in healing the wounds of government-sanctioned discrimination, Yee wrote in a statement yesterday. A group called ProtectMarriage.com sponsored the initiative that placed Proposition 8 on the ballot in November, 2008. When approved, it amended the state Constitution to eliminate the rights of same-sex couples to marry. The group argued that exclusively heterosexual marriage was an essential institution of society. Proposition 8 was supported by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House, who is currently seeking the Republican nomination for president. Its no surprise that the 9th Circuits decision is completely out of step with every other federal appellate and Supreme Court decision in American history on the subject of marriage, Andrew Pugno, general counsel for the ProtectMarriage.com coalition, wrote in a statement. Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San Francisco, recently got married herself, and offered the following statement yesterday. Having just taken my vows in November, to share the rest of my life with my partner and husband, I fully understand the need for members of the LGBT community to have their marriages publicly recognized and legally protected by the state. I stand with my friends and neighbors who are still waiting in line to knock down the door of inequality so they can nally celebrate their love and commitment, Ma wrote in a statement yesterday. State Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, told the Daily Journal last night that the courts opinion was well reasoned. The court stuck with the issue, he said. in two weeks for Proposition 8s backers to appeal to a larger panel of the 9th Circuit. Lawyers for the coalition of conservative religious groups that sponsored the measure said they have not decided if they will seek a 9th Circuit rehearing or le an appeal directly to the Supreme Court. The panel also said there was no evidence that former Chief U.S. Judge Vaughn Walker was biased and should have disclosed that he was gay and in a long-term relationship with another man. Proposition 8 backers had asked the 9th Circuit to set aside Walkers ruling on constitutional grounds and because of the judges personal life. It was the rst instance of an American jurists sexual orientation being cited as grounds for overturning a court decision. Walker publicly revealed he was gay after he retired. Supporters of the gay marriage ban argued that he had been obliged to previously reveal if he wanted to marry his partner. The 9th Circuit held a hearing on the conflict-of-interest question in December. In its ruling Tuesday, the panel majority said it was unreasonable to presume a judge cannot apply the law impartially just because he is a member of the minority group at issue in a case. To hold otherwise would demonstrate a lack of respect for the integrity of our federal courts, the opinion said. Reihardt, who was appointed to the appeals court by President Jimmy Carter, was joined in the majority opinion by Judge Michael Hawkins, an appointee of President Bill Clinton. Judge Randy Smith, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, dissented, saying he disagreed that Proposition 8 served no purpose other than to treat gays and lesbians as secondclass citizens.

RULING
Continued from page 1
the same rights as their heterosexual counterparts. The ruling was an afrmation but justice is still being delayed, she said. There are many in the LGBT community waiting to marry. It is just a matter of time, Echelbarger said, until everyone has the same right to marry the person they love. Proposition 8 was passed by state voters in 2008 but has been challenged in the courts since. The voter-approved initiative passed with 52 percent support and denes marriage as being between a man and a woman. U.S. Circuit Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote in his decision yesterday that Proposition 8 serves no purpose ... other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to overturn the proposition that could lead to the Supreme Court weighing in on the issue. Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, married his husband, Dr. Dennis McShane, in 2008 and they have been a couple nearly 30 years. He is also the states LGBT Caucus chair. Today marks a historic day for gay rights history in the state of California. As one of the 18,000 same-sex couples who were married in that short window of opportunity, I nd todays ruling a milestone in the ght for equality and civil rights. While we are well aware that this ght is not over and that an appeal to this ruling is inevitable, I feel strongly that marriage equality will ultimately be achieved for all, Gordon wrote in a statement following the ruling. Derrick Kikuchi and Craig Wiesner, a gay married couple living in San Mateo, recently published a childrens picture book titled Operation Marriage that tells the true story of a family with two kids who convince their mothers to get

pelling reason. The justices concluded that the law had no purpose other than to deny gay couples marriage, since California already grants them all the rights and benets of marriage if they register as domestic partners. Had Marilyn Monroes film been called How to Register a Domestic Partnership with a Millionaire, it would not have conveyed the same meaning as did her famous movie, even though the underlying drama for same-sex couples is no different, the court said. The lone dissenting judge insisted that the ban could help ensure that children are raised by married, opposite-sex parents. The appeals court focused its decision exclusively on Californias ban, not the bigger debate, even though the court has jurisdiction in nine Western states. Whether same-sex couples may ever be denied the right to marry is an important and highly controversial question, the court said. We need not and do not answer the broader question in this case. Six states allow gay couples to wed Connecticut, New Hampshire, Iowa, Massachusetts, New York and Vermont as well as the District of Columbia. California, as the nations most populous state and home to more than 98,000 same-sex couples, would be the gay rights movements biggest prize of them all. The 9th Circuit concluded that a trial court judge had correctly interpreted the Constitution and Supreme Court precedents when he threw out Proposition 8.

UNITED STATES Postal Service Processing Consolidation Evaluation The U.S. Postal Service is soliciting comments regarding a potential processing operations consolidation. A preliminary evaluation has been performed of the feasibility of the transfer of mail processing operations from the North Peninsula DDC in Burlingame, CA, into the San Francisco P&DC. While the extent of financial estimates for this portion of the consolidation has not been finalized, the initial results support the business case for the consolidation. Local General Customer Considerations: There are no retail services available that would be affected. There is no Business Mail acceptance at the facility that would be affected. Mailers who presort mail and enter it at other facilities will continue to receive appropriate postage discounts. Local collection box pick-up times will not change as a result of this consolidation. Local postmarks for First-Class Mail are not impacted by this consolidation. The time of the day in which mail is delivered to or collected from residences and businesses will not change as a result of the consolidation. The proposed consolidation is being evaluated in conjunction with the proposed changes to service standards that are currently being considered. See 76 Fed. Reg. 77942 (Dec. 15, 2011). There are no price changes associated with the proposed service standard and operational changes. The proposed operational consolidation could potentially result in a net decrease of employee positions but the estimated impact has not been finalized. All personnel actions would be made in accordance with the respective collective bargaining agreements and applicable postal policies. Written comments may be sent to: Network Rationalization Feedback 475 LEnfant Plaza SW Rm 7631 Washington, DC 20260-7101 All comments must be received by Feb. 18, 2012. The Postal Service will take any comments submitted in response to this notice into account before reaching a decision concerning this potential consolidation. In addition, in keeping with the terms of an agreement the Postal Service made with Congress in December, no consolidation of any postal facility will occur prior to May 15, 2012, to give Congress and the Administration the opportunity to enact an alternative plan.
