School board to decideon furthering trustees absence

Longtime South San Francisco board member on leave for medical reasons
By Heather Murtagh

How long should an elected ofcial be excused from his or her post? Its a question going before ofcials in the South San Francisco Unied School District Board of Trustees this week. Shirlee Hoch,
Shirlee Hoch
first elected in 1990, took a leave of absence last year starting in August for medical reasons. On Thursday, the board will discuss extending that excused
absence through June. Doing so leaves a board often faced with split votes without a tie breaker for nearly a year. Hoch said she remains active by talking to the superintendent, board president and community when possible. She is currently recovering from medical problems requiring her to focus on her
health at the moment. If and when I feel I cant contribute to the board, I would consider resigning, Hoch said. Trustees seem supportive of giving Hoch time to recover. There are ve positions on a board for a reason, said Trustee Phil Weise, noting the extra vote breaks ties. Without it, the board
runs less effectively. At the same time, Weise recognized voters have a right to be represented by the person who they supported and he wished Hoch well. Both board President Judy Bush and Trustee Maurice Goodman have no issue with the absence. Goodman pointed to Hochs his-

You can almost hear the nostalgia bouncing off the primary-colored walls I remember this. I used to have one just like that! Hey, did you ever play with those? Those squeals of delight and recognition will undoubtedly ll the air of the county history museum

essary. Residents requested a moratorium to study the issue and draft rules a request the city granted in September. Burlingame ofcials voted for the moratorium to apply to pending applications. ExteNet questioned the action of covering applications already in the works. In addition, ExteNet claimed the city caused delays over the past year to discourage plans, according to the 18page lawsuit led by attorney Robert Jystad Thursday, Sept. 29. Whether ExteNet should be subject to the moratorium was taken up by the court previously. Judge George Miram ruled the moratorium could be applied to ExteNet, which was one of the companys complaints. At the time, attorney Jeffrey Melching, on behalf of the city, argued that Burlingame had until Jan. 31 to make a decision. Although Burlingames city staff has noted working hard on the application, a decision has yet to be made. In January, the City Council rst approved new rules crafted with the help of residents and industry experts as an urgency ordinance. Under the guidelines, the city encourages wireless communication boxes and antennas be placed in nonresidential areas and be hidden as much as possible. A permit application would be reviewed by either the Planning Commission or community development director, depending on the details of the plan. Administrative approval, for example, could be given to facilities to be located in a commercial zone and are more than 2,000 feet from any residential area. Those that do not meet that standard, however, will require a conditional use permit which adds a Planning Commission public hearing to the approval process. ExteNets applications will not be subject to the new rules. In a response to the original lawsuit written by Melching, Burlingame claims ExteNet failed to provide complete and accurate descriptions of the work and meaningful responses to residents concerns.

Whether Burlingame purposely delayed numerous wireless communication device applications is a question that could go before a judge in September.

In the meantime, initial settlement conversations have started. The two sides were also ordered to mediation, which must be completed no later than July 17. The lawsuit stems from 27 applications submitted by T-Mobile and ExteNet Systems to install wireless devices in residential areas of Burlingame to meet the growing need for cellphone service.

High court hears arguments in local murder

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The question of whether prosecutors can have access to the mental evaluations of a murder defendant expected to use a psychiatric defense during his trial for allegedly stabbing a teenage acquaintance to death in 2001 is now in the hands of the states highest court. An appellate court previously ruled in favor of the prosecution but the defense attorney for Reynaldo Maldonado, now 31, asked the California Supreme Court to take up the legal wrinkle. The outcome is not only important to the case at hand but could also establish a new precedent for other cases as to how much information the prosecution is legally allowed prior to the defense
launching its case. Oral arguments were presented Tuesday afternoon and a ruling can come at any time but wont be final until 90 days Reynaldo Maldonado after it is issued. Either way, an answer should clear the way for Maldonado and co-defendant Erick Romeo Morales, 29, to inch closer to a jury trial. Although the two mens cases were joined, proceedings have been essentially on hold while the courts worked through whether Maldonado should be mentally evaluated and if the ndings should be disclosed to the prosecu-
tion. The defense had argued the information was privileged u n l e s s Maldonado rst presented his own mental Erick Morales health evidence. The prosecution, and now the Attorney Generals Ofce on its behalf, counters that access to the information isnt an unfair advantage or a violation of Maldonados rights. The appellate court found in May 2010 the examinations could go forward with the caveat defense attorney Paul DeMeester can challenge the disclosure on a line-by-line basis.
Maldonado was already in the midst of pre-trial motions the previous fall when the defense raised the psychiatric question and his alleged co-defendant in the 2001 murder of Quetzlcoatl Alba, 15, was found on Long Island. Alba was an acquaintance of Maldonado and Morales whose fatally stabbed body was stashed in a storage area of the Westlake Apartments in Daly City. Maldonado and Morales were eyed as suspects but ed before either were arrested. In 2007, a year after Daly City police reopened the case, Maldonado was identified by a friend who said he confessed to the killing and had a trophy photograph of Morales standing over the body. Authorities extradited Maldonado from Florida and two
years later was being tried when Morales was apprehended. On Oct. 12, 2009, New York state troopers pulled a car over on suspicion of driving while under the inuence. The driver gave a false name but was later identified through ngerprints as Morales. He was extradited back to San Mateo County the following Monday. Prosecutors believe Maldonado actually wielded the knife while Morales held Alba down. Both, however, have offered differing stories of the death. While Morales apprehension and the psychiatric question has stalled the trial for years, the District Attorneys Office opted against seeking the death penalty. If convicted, each faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Appeals court halts deportation of immigrants
SAN FRANCISCO A federal appeals court has put the Obama administrations new immigration directive to the test by halting the deportation of seven immigrants alleged to be in the country illegally. In a 2-1 ruling on Monday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals demanded the Obama administration explain whether the immigrants can avoid deportation because of two memos released last year by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director John Morton urging prosecutors to use discretion when deciding whether to pursue immigration cases.
ALBANY, N.Y. New York and California have agreed to sign the proposed settlement between U.S. states and the nations biggest mortgage lenders over foreclosure abuses, according to a source close to the negotiations. Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citibank and Ally Financial agreed to the settlement for an estimated $37 billion as of Wednesday for lowering homeowners mortgage principal, renancing, a reserve account, and checks to homeowners. However, they were
seeking releases from further legal liability, which have been one subject of negotiations for the past several days with state attorneys general who wanted to pursue investigations. The settlement grants immunity from civil lawsuits brought by the attorneys general against the lenders over narrowly dened robo-signing cases. The source, who was not authorized to disclose the agreement before an announcement expected Thursday or Friday, said other holdout states Delaware, Massachusetts and Nevada all have or are imminently expected to also agree. The source said the agreement will enable authorities to pursue all claims
over mortgage-backed securities that collapsed. It lets them use facts from robo-signing claims in securities, insurance and tax fraud cases. It also preserves the lawsuit led last week by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman that accused some banks of deceit and fraud in using an electronic mortgage registry that allegedly put homeowners at a disadvantage in foreclosures. Schneidermans ofce declined to comment Wednesday night. New York has some 118,000 underwater borrowers whose homes are worth less than their mortgages and would expect to get $136 million as a guaranteed cash payment from the settlement.

County extols virtues of discount drug card

San Mateo County residents saved $1.265 million in prescription medication costs by using a discount drug card that also refunds the county more than a dollar on each transaction. County residents saved $49,722 alone in December 2011, according to numbers released Tuesday by Coast2CoastRx, the company providing the discount card for San Mateo Countys program. For each prescription lled using the card, the county receives $1.25 for scal year 2010-11, that means $18,378.50. The discount prescription card allows us to further our goals of improving health outcomes and providing savings to individuals and families while generating revenue for San Mateo Countys public programs, Marty Dettelbach, chief marketing ofcer of card provider Financial Marketing Concepts, Inc., said in a prepared statement. The county began offering the card in December 2009. In its rst year of use alone, the county saved nearly a halfmillion dollars and received more than $12,000 back, according to a summary compiled by the Health System last April. During that period, 25,237 discounted prescriptions were lled using the card, with participation jumping from an average of 1,132 prescriptions the rst three months to 2,340 the last three months of the initial agreement. That agreement gave the county 75 cents per lled prescription rather than the current contracts $1.25. Specic participation breakdowns for the last year were not immediately available. The royalties earned by the county is used to operate the Health Coverage Unit of the Health System which connects uninsured residents to available coverage programs, said Rebecca Irwin, legislative aide to Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson. The county spends no money on the free card but does promote them and their availability at pharmacies, libraries, health clinics and online. The card does not supplant insurance but lets users get discounts on medication not covered by their plans. There are no costs, health restrictions or expiration dates and the program even covers medical tests and pet prescriptions. The card is open to anyone over 18 and can be used by Medicare recipients, potentially during the doughnut hole gap period when they may pay up to $1,500 out of pocket. The card technically can be used by anyone, anywhere, but a code on it means each use returns the associated royalty back to San Mateo County regardless of the pharmacys location. The card can save up to 75 percent on more than 60,000 brand name and generic drugs and more than 59,000 pharmacies nationwide accept it. Using the card is an effortless way to benet both the individuals pocket book and the countys coffers, according to Gibson who lauded the cards dual benefits in the companys savings announcement. The free cards can be downloaded and printed at www.coast2coastrx.com/sanmateo/
GOP targets child tax break for illegal immigrants

By Andrew Taylor
CITY GOVERNMENT
The Redwood City Council Monday night asked staff to draft an ordinance banning polystyrene products for food items. The council will vote on the item at a later meeting and the ban will likely emulate the San Mateo County ordinance already in effect in the unincorporated areas.
WASHINGTON Republicans are looking to deny child tax credits to illegal immigrants refund checks averaging $1,800 a family in an effort that has roused anger among Hispanics and some Democratic lawmakers. The proposal, which would require people who claim the federal credit to have Social Security numbers to prove
theyre legal workers, is being offered as a way to help pay for extending the Social Security tax cut for most American wage-earners. It would trim federal spending by about $10 billion over a decade. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada says the proposal unfairly goes after the children of poor Hispanic workers. Such kids often are U.S. citizens, even when their parents arent, because they were born in this country.
Says Leticia Miranda, senior policy adviser of the National Council of La Raza: People who are making close to the minimum wage and are raising children in this country and were asking them to pay for the payroll tax cut? She says, Its outrageous and its crazy. On the other side, Republicans and some Democrats say whats crazy is even having a debate over whether the government should be cutting checks to people who have sneaked into the country illegally.

Brown allows parole for murderers at greater rate
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown is allowing murderers to be paroled from California prisons at a far greater pace than his immediate predecessors, a development that raised a l a r m Wednesday with Jerry Brown victims rights groups. After a little more than one year in ofce, the Democratic governor has allowed about 80 percent of the decisions by the state Board of Parole Hearings to free convicted killers. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, allowed about a quarter of the recommended paroles to stand, while former Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat, allowed just 2 percent.
ALLEN, Texas One day after Rick Santorums startling breakthrough in the presidential race, his few aides decamped to distant states to start building campaign organizations from scratch. It was evidence of his challenge in converting sudden momentum into victories in the rush of contests ahead. We denitely are the campaign right now with the momentum, the enthusiasm on the ground, the former Pennsylvania senator said Wednesday, hours after capturing Republican caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado and a non-binding primary in Missouri.

Heavy fog blamed for Vallejo highway pileup

VALLEJO Authorities say heavy fog is to blame for a messy highway pileup near Vallejo that involved at least 31 vehicles. The California Highway Patrol reports 11 separate crashes on Highway 37 during Wednesday mornings rush hour. The rst crash happened just before 8 a.m. CHP Ofcer John Perez says one car swerved off the road and into nearby water. That driver wasnt hurt, but two others suffered minor injuries in other crashes.
ATLANTA Mitt Romney still cant seem to win over the bulk of the conservatives who make up the bedrock of the Republican Party. Despite primary victories that have established him as the GOP presidential front-runner, his stunning trio of defeats this week laid bare the difculties that still could undercut his path to the partys nomination and hamper him in
the general election to follow. Not that he would acknowledge as much Wednesday. I dont think the conservative base changes its Mitt Romney mind day to day, Romney told reporters, dismissing the notion that hes got a problem with the partys core supporters. The places where I campaigned active-
ly, we got actually in some respects record support from the conservative base. Such denials aside, Tuesdays three-state caucus sweep by Rick Santorum illustrated the degree to which many conservative voters remain skeptical of Romneys commitment to the GOP bases principles, especially given what some of them see as his history of shifting priorities. And he hasnt been able to sell them on his main argument that hes the most likely in the primary eld to beat Democratic
President Barack Obama. The more condence the strong conservatives have in the alternative candidates, the more Romneys lack of strength in those categories starts to show itself, said Iowa Rep. Steve King, a conservative who has been publically neutral in the nomination race. To rebound, Romney is working to make his chief rivals all of them running to the right of him unacceptable in the eyes of conservatives by casting them as bigspending Washington insiders.

Man beaten, robbed early Wednesday morning

A 53-year-old man was mugged by two other men in South San Francisco early Wednesday morning, police said. The victim was walking near Maple and Baden avenues at about 4:35 a.m. when he noticed he was being followed by an oldermodel silver four-door Chrysler, according to South San Francisco police. Two people in the car demanded that the victim hand over his wallet, police said. When he refused, the suspects approached him and punched him in the face several times. The attackers did not get the mans wallet, but stole other personal belongings, police said. They then got back into the car, which was last seen heading west on the 400 block of Baden Avenue. The victim, who is employed as a welder, suffered a bruised and swollen face but was not seriously injured, police said. The suspects were both described as Hispanic men between 25 and 30 years old, around 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing around 210 pounds. One was wearing a white T-shirt and the other had on a black hoodie. Anyone with information about the suspects or the assault is asked to call the South San Francisco Police Department at 877-8900 or the anonymous tip line at 952-2244.

OPINION
Pension danger
The Riverside Press-Enterprise
Other voices
The smaller earnings expectation adds $5.9 billion to the long-term shortfall, requiring an additional $525 million in yearly funding. Without changes, the system is on track to run out of money in about 30 years. That could require the state to pay the whole bill for teacher retirements, which the pension fund estimates would cost taxpayers $9 billion annually. The pension system covers nearly 442,000 active teachers and another 167,000 retirees. Any new funding, however, requires the Legislature to act, because legislators set the annual payments to the teachers pension plan. Teachers now put 8 percent of salary toward pensions, while districts pay 8.25 percent of teacher payroll. The state kicks in another 2 percent of payroll, and pays another 2.5 percent to a separate program to protect retirement benets from losing ground to ination. The teacher percentage has not changed since 1972, while the last adjustment to districts payments came in 1990. But the additional funding should come from teachers and districts, not the state. The
alifornia cannot afford to let the states teachers pension fund founder from legislative neglect. The retirement systems grim scal outlook demands prompt action. The Legislature needs to redesign the pension plan, to protect taxpayers and make the system sustainable. The California State Teachers Retirement System last week lowered its expected investment earnings forecast from 7.75 percent to 7.5 percent. The pension funds actuarial consultant said the system had a less than 50 percent chance of meeting the higher target over the long term. But the reduced gure may still be too optimistic: The retirement system earned only a 2.3 percent return in 2011, and over the past two decades averaged a 7.2 percent return. A more realistic forecast, however, only makes the pension systems nancial hole deeper. The retirement fund already faced a $56 billion shortfall over the next three decades. The system needs an extra $3.9 billion a year in receipts to close the gap, on top of the more than $5 billion teachers, districts and the state pay into the system each year.
state has no say in the local contract negotiations that determine salaries and pension payouts, and should not be nancially liable for the results. The Legislatures goal should be to remove the states portion from the retirement equation, and make teachers and districts responsible for the health of the pension system. That step would help safeguard taxpayers and encourage more careful more nancial decisions at the local level. Legislators should also give the teachers pension system the authority to set annual amounts that stakeholders pay into the system, as the states other public pension plans do. Waiting for the Legislature to make adjustments only delays scal remedies while the red ink expands. Legislators should also reduce the longterm cost of teacher pensions. Teachers should not get pension credit for unused sick time, for example. Nor should they base retirement payouts on the nal year of salary, which invites pension spiking. And legislators should consider less costly pension benets for new hires. Stabilizing the teachers retirement fund will require politically challenging decisions. But postponing xes only increases the cost and invites scal disaster.
Foie pas
top your squawking about the pending ban on foie gras. The real time for the feathers to y was way back in 2004 when Senate Bill 1520 passed, outlawing the production and sale of the oh-so-delicious delicacy this coming July. But no, we were all too busy stufng our face to speak up or too condent a state full of foodies would ever let the gastronomy police actually follow through with force feeding their ideals down the collective publics throat. Now that the menu update is right around the corner, consider that the law might be the best thing that ever happened to foie gras, short of toast points and tasty chutney. Foie fans are already the bad boys and girls of the culinary set. In some circles, admitting fondness for the dish is akin to saying youd personally like to make veal chops from cute, bigeyed calves using a dull knife and an evil cackle. Its one thing to be a dyed-in-the-wool carnivore when you dont have to think about where the meat comes from. It is quite another when the source is either young or as opponents would argue about the doomed ducks spend their lives doing nothing but sitting on their laurels gobbling food. If they were human, these are the people whod eventually need outside help freeing themselves from their couch. Instead, as birds, they or at least their livers are destined to end up carefully smeared or delicately seared. In any case, the newest attempts at prohibition is another opportunity to cultivate that rebellious streak a little more. Besides, everybody knows the best way to make something attractive is to make it off limits. Drugs? Most of the initial allure is the fact youre not supposed to do them. Same goes for tobacco. Cigarettes might lead to a lifetime of breathing problems and the occasional tracheotomy but the James Dean-esque allure still holds true. What about alcohol? Lets just say Prohibition made bathtub gin and speakeasies the darlings of all but the most fervent Teetotalers. Or Cuba! Everybody says they want the travel ban from the United States lifted but that is a lie. Those who nd ways to go enjoy a mojito or cigar in Old Havana dont want the onslaught of tourists because the illegality puts them in a small, select club in which they feel special and elite. Perhaps the same will hold true for foie gras. The ingredient will simply shift underground like those hipster movable dinner parties and rogue lobster roll delivery outlets that operate in fear public health inspectors will catch wind and come calling. The coolest and least lily-livered chefs may offer it on a stealth menu, sort of like In-N-Out but with a password. See? Back to the speakeasy mentality. Granted, a downside may be that the already expensive item will become even more so when snuck over borders and traded on street corners. Ensuring the purity of the goods is also a challenge. Whats that mushy stuff the dealers are cutting the foie with to stretch out the quantity? Margarine? Pudding? Without fail, somebody will get ill from tainted product or state leaders clamoring for precious revenue will see foie gras as the general funds salvation. Regulation is needed! they will cry. Taxation! they will demand. Eventually, maybe in another eight years, another law will take effect making foie gras again allowable and legal producers will spring up faster than hydroponic supply stores and medical marijuana card issuers. Life will go on, meals will continue and future generations will ask us what the big deal ever was. The only tting answer is that while supporters stayed relatively mum, the opposition campaign was better at selling its point of view using good old-fashioned shock and foie.

Burlingame parking lots
Editor, Jeffrey Pink's concerns about maintaining downtown parking expressed in his Feb. 8 letter to the editor Disappointed in downtown plan are shared by the Burlingame City Council; which is why any development on public parking lots will require replacement of the existing parking on site or nearby. In fact, it is the council's hope that the city can use the opportunity to increase the net numbers of public parking available.
The Daily Journal in Pacifica?

Editor, I read with interest Gene Mullins guest perspective extolling the virtues of your newspaper (Some of the news thats t to print in the Nov. 29 edition of the Daily Journal). I am in complete agreement, especially with his statement, it certainly affects our daily lives to know what is taking place not only in our own community, but those cities surrounding us. Like Mr. Mullin, I also am a longtime subscriber to the San Mateo County Times and the San Francisco Chronicle. Ive been a devotee of the Daily Journal for the past year as I fortunately discovered it when shopping over the hill (or in Half Moon Bay). I believe your newspaper offers the best news concerning San Mateo County. So, why am I writing? Pacica appears to be the only city in the county that does not have local access to the Daily Journal. Residents of Pacica would benet tremendously by having the the Daily Journal available locally. We would have the opportunity to become better informed citizens and your advertisers would receive patronage from residents of Pacica who frequently use services available in the non-coastal area of the Peninsula. In addition, as a member of the 2011-2012 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury, your newspaper provides me with the comprehensive information I need to effectively perform my role. What can be done to bring the Daily Journal to Pacica?
Liberty or tyranny
Editor, It has been reported that Obamacare requires contraceptive services must be provided by all employers. The Catholic Church has resisted due to their religious beliefs. This is an example of what Thomas Jefferson meant when he called for a separation of church and state. The rst amendment to the Constitution of the United States begins, Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. In November of 2012, we, the voters, will decide whether we will continue as a constitutional republic or revert to the rule of man. Our current political leaders believe we need a central government to make decisions for the people. By their actions, they have taught us that there are no restrictions on their power. They have the power to regulate which light bulb and toilet we will use. They tell us what kind of cars can be built. They provide weapons to criminals and tell us we need to restrict the ownership of rearms for our protection. They require we have health insurance and dene what the coverage will be. Hugo Chavez was originally elected. He violated the rules of his government, the people did not stop him and eventually he was too powerful to stop. We will have liberty or we will have tyranny, but we will decide.

On Rethinking Pink
Editor, In Michelle Durands column Rethink Pink published in the Feb. 7 edition of the Daily Journal, Durand counts herself among the head shaking masses who wonder why some cannot separate Planned Parenthoods other programs from the small fraction of abortions it provides. Perhaps it is because 300,000 abortions per year is considered by those who believe that life begins at conception, to be 300,000 babies killed per year at Planned Parenthood. Among other lessons, this is a wake-up call to thoroughly investigate charities before contributing to them.

this week after a slow but steady rise since the beginning of the year. The Dow has added 2 percent in February and is up 5.5 percent for the year. Rick Fier, vice president of stock trading at Conifer Securities in New York, said he wasnt that worried that the markets advance has slowed this week. The S&P 500 is still up 7.3 percent for the year, and has fallen on only eight days in 2012. Fier said he is concerned that the batch of earnings reports from U.S. companies for the last three months of last year hasnt been as robust as previous quarters. Revenue growth has slowed even though prots have been strong, he said. Walt Disney reported earnings Tuesday that beat analysts estimates, but its revenue growth fell short. Movie revenue fell as Disney released fewer big lms in the quarter than in previous years. Revenue from DVD sales and interactive media also declined. Disneys stock rose 0.7 percent nevertheless. Caesars Entertainment Corp., the big casino operator, soared on its rst day of trading. Caesars went as high as $17.90, nearly double its offering price of $9 per share. It nished at $15.39, up 71 percent, but lost some of the gains in afterhours trading.

NEW YORK Stocks staged an afternoon-long rally and closed higher Wednesday as Greece appeared to close in on the cost-cutting deal it needs to keep from defaulting on its national debt. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 5.75 points to close at 12,883.95 after falling as much as 60 points at midday. It was the Dows highest close since May 19, 2008, the last time it nished above 13,000. The Standard & Poors 500 index edged up 2.91 points to 1,346.96. The Nasdaq composite rose 11.78 points to 2,915.86, its highest close since December 2000.

Groupon reports 4Q loss

By Barbara Ortutay
NEW YORK Groupon investors were expecting a better deal than the surprise loss the company delivered on Wednesday. The online deals site, reporting for the rst time as a public company, said its fourth-quarter revenue nearly tripled, but it lost money and its shares fell sharply after hours. Groupons net loss totaled $42.7 million, or 8 cents per share, for the nal three months of 2011. A year earlier, as a private company, it booked a larger loss of $378.6 million, or $1.08 per share. The company said its adjusted loss
was 2 cents per share in the latest quarter. On this basis, analysts were expecting a prot of 3 cents per share, according to FactSet. Groupon said an unusually high international tax rate hurt the quarters adjusted results. Its stock fell $2.29, or 9.3 percent, to $22.29 in after-hours trading. Groupons revenue was $506.5 million, nearly triple the $172.2 million it reported for last years fourth quarter. Analysts, on average, had expected lower revenue $473.1 million, according to FactSet. Groupon, which went public in November, makes money by taking a cut from the online deals it offers on a vari-
ety of goods and services such as restaurant meals and weekend getaways. Investors are watching whether this business model is sustainable and leads to growth over the long term, and whether the company can grow its customer base as well as the amount of money it makes from each subscriber. The quarters gross billings were $1.25 billion. Thats how much customers paid for all the Groupons the company sold. It doesnt include taxes or account for the money the company paid to merchants. For the current quarter Groupon expects revenue of $510 million to $550 million. Analysts are forecasting $501 million.

NEW YORK Visa Inc. said Wednesday that its scal rst-quarter prot rose 16 percent, as card use rose both in the U.S. and overseas. The San Francisco-based payments processor posted a notable 10 percent increase in U.S. credit card use, stating much of that growth came from a continued revival in spending by afuent consumers. But debit card use rose just 6 percent. Thats the slowest debit card growth rate
in more than a year, and comes during the rst three-month period that new rules were in place to limit the fees retailers pay to accept the cards. The rules also require that starting in April, merchants get a choice on which network handles their debit transactions. In the last few months, Visa has been offering incentives to encourage stores to choose its network. Debit growth has been slowing over the past few quarters. In January, debit growth slowed further, to 4 percent, said Chief Financial Officer Byron Pollitt during a conference call to discuss results.

Sprint posts deeper 4Q loss on iPhone costs

NEW YORK Sprint dug deep into its pockets in the latest quarter to put iPhones in the hands of its customers. The perennially money-losing company on Wednesday posted its largest loss in three years. Sprint Nextel Corp., once known for the worst customer service in the industry, has made progress on turning its fortunes around in the last few years. But the No. 3 U.S. wireless carrier has still found it difcult to compete with larger rivals AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless, both of which sell the iPhone.
SAN FRANCISCO A consumer watchdog group is suing the Federal Trade Commission in an attempt to prevent Google from making sweeping changes to its privacy policies next month. The planned revisions would enable Google Inc. to bundle the personal information gathered by its Internet search engine and other services, such as Gmail, YouTube and Plus, so the company can gain a better understanding of its users
and potentially sell more advertising. Google has depicted the switch as an improvement that will make its privacy policies easier to understand and help deliver more helpful information to users. But the Electronic Privacy Information Center contends Googles new policies would violate restrictions imposed in an agreement reached with the FTC last year. Google submitted to the rules to resolve complaints that the company had improperly exposed users email contacts in a now-defunct service called Buzz.

As owner pushes for resolution to territorial issue

By Antonio Gonzalez
SAN JOSE Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff said Wednesday that indecision by Major League Baseball over whether his club can move to San Jose has been excruciating but that he believes the process is nally nearing an end. Just not as quickly as hed like.
Lew Wolff
Taking questions at the downtown Rotary Club of San Jose, Wolff said the uncertainty about the possible move is harming the franchise more than anything. Hes hopeful that a resolution from baseball is coming soon a word that has been reiterated by many
Bud Selig
for years. Im not going to continue this much longer, Wolff said. What we want is an answer. We want a yes, you can relocate and share the district, share the territory. Or you cant. But not having any answer is very difcult. Not just for me, but for
the people that work for us, for planning our baseball team every year. The As need approval from league owners to move to the south bay, where the San Francisco Giants hold territorial rights to the technologyrich region lled with fans and corporate dollars. Not to mention the Giants Class-A afliate is in San Jose.

Colts clinch Bay crown

San Mateo takes Lake Division title
By Nathan Mollat

Wrestler making herstory

ts never easy for a new coach to turn around any sports program that has been a doormat for years. But Sequoia wrestling coach John Peavler has taken a team that was at the bottom of the Peninsula Athletic League for the better part of a decade and is quickly making noise in wrestling circles. Its not the rst time Peavler and Sequoia wrestling have made news. A 1989 graduate of Sequoia, he was a four-year standout for the Cherokees, twice placing in the top six at the Central Coast Section meet and twice qualifying for the state meet. He went on to become a Junior College All American at Skyline and nished up his wrestling career at Fresno State. Since taking over as coach last season, he has already made great strides. Last season, Matteo Porcedda became the rst Sequoia wrestler in 19 years to qualify for the state meet after a thirdplace nish at 171 at CCS. But Peavler, along with a number of other PAL coaches, is proving girls can be just as successful. Yep. You heard me right. Female wrestling is a growing trend at the high school level. While it used to be an anomaly to see female wrestlers, their numbers have steadily grown, to the point there are now section and state titles to be had. In fact, the PAL was well represented in the CCS Girls Championships held last weekend at Oak Grove High in San Jose. Not only did the Terra Nova girls team nish in second place, the PAL had three individual champions: Menlo-Athertons Kendra Wiley took home the 126-pound title, Terra Novas Sierra Dockery won at 132 and teammate Alana ONeill won the heavyweight title.
El Camino boys basketball coach Archie Junio admitted he was concerned Wednesday night when the Colts hosted a red-hot Woodside squad with a division-clinching game on the line. Woodside came into the game having won four in a row, including wins over Burlingame and Mills the two teams chasing El Camino for the Peninsula Athletic League title. I was nervous, Junio said. Woodside has been playing so well. He had a right to be nervous. The Wildcats gave the Colts everything they had, but in the end, El Camino had a little bit more as the Colts clinched the Bay Division crown with a 51-43 win. Despite coming up short, Woodside coach Phillip White was satised with his teams performance. My guys gave hell of an effort, White said. Im proud of the way they battled. Our effort was outstanding. While El Caminos Big Three of point guard Elijah White, and forwards Michael Smith and Anthony Knight have garnered most of the publicity this season, it was the play of senior forward Jalen Bitanga that put the Colts over the top. White, Smith and Knight combined for 25 points and 13 rebounds. Using an arsenal of spin moves and scoop shots, Bitanga accounted for a gamehigh 16 points and pulled down seven boards by himself. Hes our X factor, Junio said. Hes just one of those guys who knows how to play basketball. [That scoop shot] is a weapon. Woodside was led by Matt Ennis 12 points. Mitchell Hickman added 11. With Junio starting ve seniors on Senior Night, it was Bitangas play early on that got El Camino (8-1 PAL Bay, 19-4 overall)

Flames douse Sharks on Jokinens hat trick

By Josh Dubow
Flames 4, Sharks 3
consecutive games following a three-game winning streak. San Jose overcame decits of 2-0 and 3-2 before Jokinen gave the Flames the lead for good early in the third period. The winner was set up by a poor clearing attempt by White. He played the puck out from behind the net and it deected off the boards right to Alex Tanguay, who set up Jokinen for his seventh career hat trick and rst since March 14, 2009, at Toronto. The Sharks had tied the game only minutes earlier when Handzus struck on the power play
SAN JOSE Olli Jokinen capitalized on a turnover by Colin White to break a third-period tie with his third goal of the game, and the Calgary Flames beat the San Jose Sharks 4-3 Wednesday night. Jokinen also assisted on Jarome Iginlas second-period goal to help Miikka Kiprusoff earn his 300th NHL win and end San Joses vegame winning streak in the series. Logan Couture, Joe Pavelski and Michal Handzus scored for the Sharks, who have lost
in the opening minute of the third, following a high-sticking penalty on Mark Giordano. Handzus beat Blair Jones on the faceoff and went to the front of the net, where he knocked Brent Burns rebound off the lively end boards into the net for the equalizer 5 seconds into the power play. San Jose managed nothing else against Kiprusoff, who made 34 saves to become the 27th NHL goalie to reach 300 wins. He did it in the same building where he got the rst of his career, while playing for the Sharks in 2001. Marc-Edouard Vlasic nearly had the equalizer midway through the third but it was waved off
because Patrick Marleau had run into Kiprusoff. Kiprusoff also made tough stops on Pavelski and Couture in the closing minutes to preserve the win. The Sharks appeared to take control by scoring two goals in a span of 1:23 midway through the second period to erase a 2-0 decit. Couture got San Jose started during a delayed penalty when he beat Kiprusoff with a wrist shot from the top of the circle. Pavelski, playing his 400th career game, quickly tied it when he slammed home a pass from behind the net by Joe Thornton for his 20th goal.

Beautiful week awaits at Pebble Beach

PEBBLE BEACH In what Robert Louis Stevenson called the most felicitous meeting of land and sea, the sea was winning Wednesday at Pebble Beach. Jimmy Walker stood in the bunker next to the sea wall along the 18th fairway, soaking up the scenery. Every 15 seconds, waves crashed into the rocks and sent a spectacular splash of white surf some 15 feet high. There was so much salt water in the front of the bunker that the father of Harris English said to Bob Estes, Is this played as a waste area? Estes smiled and pointed to the rakes placed neatly next to the sand. No, these are bunkers, he replied. If the nal day of practice for the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am was any indication, then this could be a special week. Not just because Tiger Woods is back at this event for the rst time in 10 years. He practiced on the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula, which he had never seen. The last time he played, Poppy Hills was part of the rotation. And not just because of the unique blend of amateurs from the world of Hollywood, sports and Wall Street. One group at Pebble featured San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, quarterback Alex Smith, retired lineman Harris Barton and Deutsche Bank Americas chief executive Seth Waugh. There are times when the beauty of Pebble Beach makes a six-hour round tolerable. No one was in any hurry Wednesday. If you have a bad experience here, it can feel like the longest week of your life, Geoff Ogilvy said as he walked up the fourth fairway at Pebble, his head turned to the right to gaze at the sea. If its a good experience, its enjoyable. And if its like this, it can feel like the greatest week of the year. It proved to be a tonic for Spencer Levin. Only four days ago, Levin was poised to win his rst PGA Tour event when he took a six-shot lead into the final round of the Phoenix Open. He found himself rushing, just wanting the nal round to be over, and he kept dropping shots. A double bogey on the 15th hole doomed him, and Kyle Stanley rallied from eight shots behind to win. Levin was heartbroken, which was to be expected. I was really bummed out Sunday night, pretty bummed out Monday, Levin said. But I got here, and then I was like, Man, I get to play Pebble Beach today, so thats pretty cool. Its not like youre going home and playing the muni in your backyard. Wow, Im at Pebble. So I didnt think about it much playing out here. Davis Love III is making his 27th start at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-am. He was part of the washout in 1996 when the tournament was canceled because only 36 holes could be completed. He was there in 1998, when players had to return in August to get in three rounds and make it ofcial. He won in 2001 and 2003 in good weather. He has been part of 54-hole events won by Payne Stewart and Dustin Johnson. Even someone of his experience realizes this week is something special. Ive never seen three golf courses in this good of shape, Love said. Guys that have played a lot this year said these are the best greens theyve seen so far this year. You dont usually hear that when you get to Pebble Spyglass.
BRENTWOOD, Pa. Athletic tensions between two Pittsburgh-area high schools one largely white, the other predominantly black have boiled over into accusations of racism that some say is being swept under the rug. Two students at Brentwood High School are accused of dressing in banana suits at a game and, along with other students, taunting players at Monessen High, according to Monessen parents and a school administrator. The costumed Brentwood students were thrown out of Fridays game after they ran past the Monessen fan section, causing agitation and disruption, Brentwoods district superintendent, Ronald Dufalla, said in a statement Wednesday. A third student was removed to avoid a potential problem that Dufalla wouldnt specify. But Dufalla also said he has reviewed game tapes and talked to school ofcials, and has seen no other activity that conrms the allegations made. The two students in banana suits, he said, have done that at previous games without incident. The high school students are emulating college students they have seen on television who wear costumes during the collegiate contests, Dufalla said in email Wednesday to The Associated Press. No high school team, Monessen or otherwise, or their fans are being singled out. This is just something the students do. Parents said they heard slurs from Brentwood students including monkeys and cotton pickers. Superintendent Linda Marcolini told The Valley Independent of Monessen for a story Wednesday that she planned to report the conict to the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, which oversees high school sports in the region. Basically, I feel (Dufalla) sugar-coated the situation, Marcolini told the Independent. Im not happy with that, and I feel like Ive not been told the whole story or the truth. The AP could not immediately reach Marcolini for comment.
Saint Marys on the cusp of WCC title

MORAGA Do-everything guard Matthew Dellavedova is quick to point out he has little time to concern himself with appearances. A scruffy face and wild hair, who cares? Im not too worried about how I look, he said with a chuckle, sitting in the bleachers before a recent practice. Ive just got to keep it out of my eyes. Dellavedova has more important priorities at Saint Marys College: Hes determined to maintain a strong mens basketball tradition at the midmajor school, which is now a regular in the NCAA tournament conversation despite playing in the same conference as perennial power Gonzaga. These 16th-ranked Gaels are on the cusp of capturing the WCC regular-season crown with the Zags still standing in the way. Saint Marys (22-2, 11-0 WCC) takes a 12-game winning streak to Gonzaga on Thursday night after already winning the rst meeting of the rivals in commanding
fashion 83-62 at home in McKeon Pavilion last month. This team might just be better than some of the other special groups at the quaint campus in San Franciscos East Bay hills. It all depends how we nish, coach Randy Bennett said. Certainly to this point they are. Its in there, its among one of the top ones top two or three. We were good last year and we lost one guy who played a lot. People asked me and I told them I thought wed be good this year. That parts not a surprise to me. And Dellavedova very well could be the most well-rounded, talented player yet at Saint Marys, even following such previous stars as Patty Mills, Diamon Simpson, Omar Samhan and Mickey McConnell, last seasons WCC Player of the Year. The beat goes on, really, Santa Clara coach Kerry Keating said. I told someone that everybody wants to talk about, They lost Omar and then they lost Mickey. Well, with all due respect to those guys, theyre not the most important player on this team. Dellavedova was on those
two teams, too. Hes the most important player in that program from Day 1, and hes proven that. Those guys are really good and they added a lot too, so dont get me wrong. Omar and Mickey were player-of-the-year-type guys in our conference, but he makes their whole deal go. Dellavedova is the latest in a long list of Australians to shine at the school. He is known for his pre-practice power naps and quirky look as well as his spot-on shooting and clever passing and playmaking. Not everybody saw that one. I saw that one, Bennett, in his 11th season, said of Dellavedovas ability to dominate games. He sees things two and three steps ahead. Hell tweak plays. Hell change an out of bounds play. He studies leadership and reads articles about it. I give him a lot of freedom. Dellavedova on Wednesday was named WCC Player of the Month for January, when he averaged 17.5 points and 6.3 assists per game and led the Gaels to an 8-0 record and the highest national ranking in school history.

In addition to the three champions, the PAL had nine others nish in the top-6 which put them on the medal podium: Hiba Salem (South City, sixth place, 98 pounds); Brianna Carroll (Sequoia, third, 138), Fereshtah Sadraee (Burlingame, fourth, 138) and Jacqueline Achermann (South City, fth, 138); Alli Kretschmer (Terra Nova, third, 146) and Vivian Rivera (Sequoia, sixth, 146); Jessica Yip (South City, second, 165); Alex Mariano (Terra Nova, fth, 189) and Sonia Torres (Woodside, sixth, 189). I came up thinking, Should girls be wrestling? Peavler asked. I dont know. [A lot of coaches] arent real hip to girls wrestling. I havent treated them like girls. I think they appreciate that. Girls wrestling in the PAL is so popular that nearly every team in the Bay Division has a girls team, allowing girls to compete against girls during dual meets. There are also plenty of girlsonly tournaments to compete in as well. Every now and then, theyll take on a boy, but only if the girl wants to. Sequoias Carroll surprised everybody with her third-place nish at CCS, which qualied her for the state meet. She is the rst female wrestler from Sequoia to achieve that honor. I did not expect it to happen at all, Carroll said. I went into CCS wanting to do my best and placed third. Making her rise even more remarkable is the fact it is the rst year she has ever wrestled.

swimmer and water polo player, Carroll was basically looking for something to ll her time between the polo and swimming seasons. She chose something easy she decided to wrestle. Part of me wanted to try something new, Carroll said. I had always been taking chances, taking risks. I did it to have fun and have a new experience and it took me pretty far. Fun and wrestling are not usually two words that go together. Many athletes dont take up the sport boys included just based on the grueling workouts wrestlers go through. Then Seligs remarks at the owners meetings last month that the issue was on the front burner. Wolff again refused to give a time frame on a possible decision perhaps because even hes not sure when one could come down and hinted that he could force a vote by league owners in a few months if a ruling remains in limbo. He later claried to reporters that he plans to wait for the committees recommendations. Were following the process. Its excruciating, Wolff said. We talk constantly on many there is the added pressure of maintaining weight throughout the season, along with the matches themselves, which are no picnic. Carroll loved it all. It is the hardest workout Ive ever done in my life, Carroll said. I personally like working out. I never thought about giving up. Once I started winning, it was so satisfying. Its a lot (of work). Not a lot of people can do it, so Im proud I was able to keep at it. It didnt take Peavler long to realize he had a special athlete of his hands. After one of Carrolls matters. I think were getting there. We have ways where we can be a belligerent owner. Its not in me at this point. Among the other notable items: Wolff said buying out the Giants territorial rights to San Jose has not been discussed with us. He conrmed the team would be renamed the San Jose As if it relocated. There was even a stuffed version of Stomper, the As mascot, dressed in a San Jose Athletics uniform that
rst workouts, he told his schools athletic director: This girls could be a state champ. She has the body for wrestling, Peavler said, adding all of Carrolls time swimming and playing water polo has given her the shoulder, back and leg strength needed to excel in wrestling. She was just tossing guys and girls around. Her athletic ability was phenomenal. The transformation Ive seen, phenomenal. Its been an absolute pleasure to coach [Carroll]. Being the rst of anything automatically makes that person a poster child for their organization. There can only be one rst and Carroll is it when it comes to Sequoia girls wrestling. Not that she has put much thought into being a trailblazer or pioneer. To tell you the truth, its been kind of surreal, Carroll said. I wasnt aiming to be a trailblazer. I denitely hope more girls will be inspired to take up the sport. Im proud (of being Sequoias rst) and its denitely kind of crazy. It already appears female participation in wrestling is growing. Peavler said he, along with some other coaches on the south Peninsula, started a club program last year and are developing a feeder system for Sequoia, Woodside and MenloAtherton, among others. Peavler is already seeing an increase in female interest. We had a clinic at McKinley Middle School this past Thursday, Peavler said. We had 17 girls and maybe nine guys out there. Does [female success] open the door? Absolutely.

greeted guest at the luncheon. Wolff said hed be ne if the Giants wanted to keep their Class-A team in San Jose. The As are not exploring a move to any other city and selling the team is not an option now. Wolff said the team took in about $32 million in revenue sharing from other teams last season. He said the franchise spent all of the money, about half on player payroll. He expects payroll to be about $65 million to $70 million next season.

drive layup and a driving, double-clutch oater by Hoffer tied the game at 15 for Woodside. The teams stayed neck-and-neck the rest of the half. A Knight three-point play put El Camino up 20-17 midway through the second quarter, but Hoffer answered with his eighth and ninth points of the half. A dribbledrive layup gave the Colts a 22-19 advantage with 1:54 left, but back-to-back baskets by Ennis gave the Wildcats a 23-22 lead at halftime. The only concern we talked about (at halftime) was we were losing our focus on defense, Junio said. Our offense would come. The Colts took that message to heart in the third quarter, holding Woodside to just three eld goals and a free throw. Meanwhile, the El Camino offense nally got going. The 15 points scored was the most in a quarter for the Colts in the game. After Hickman hit a fastbreak layup to cut the El Camino lead to 31-28 with 3:38 left to play in the third, the Colts responded with a 62 run to end the period and take a 37-30 lead heading into the nal eight minutes. time nickname and logo, which shows the profile of an American Indian warrior, was repealed eight months after it took effect last year in a bid to help the university avoid NCAA sanctions. As part of that process, the law temporarily goes back into effect. An NCAA spokesman said Wednesday that means the school wont host championship events, and its athletes will be barred from wearing uniforms with the nickname or logo in post-season play. As the fourth quarter started, the Wildcats came out ring on all cylinders, scoring the rst seven points to tie the game at 37 when Ennis grabbed a defensive rebound and went coast-to-coast for a layup with 5:30 left to play. A White slashing drive to the basket put El Camino up two, 39-37, but Ennis answered with a pull-up jumper to tie the score again. It would be as close as the Wildcats would get. El Camino took the lead for good on a White 3-pointer for a 42-39 lead with 4:40 left to play to ignite a 12-2 game-ending run. Im glad we won, but Im glad [Woodside] showed a lot of grit, Junio said. Said Woodsides White: Were not battling for a league championship, but were trying to put ourselves in the best position for the PAL tournament, put ourselves in the best position for CCS. This (Woodside) team is a whole different team that lost four in a row (to start league play).

San Mateo continued the onslaught in the second and third quarters, scoring 16 and 17 points, respectively. The Bearcats nally called off the dogs in the fourth quarter, scoring only seven. San Mateo was led by Ben Skeltons 20 points, with John Schrup adding 17. I thought we had a team that could [win the Lake title], said San Mateo coach Julian Hudson.

Sarkozy advises against military strike on Iran
PARIS French President Nicolas Sarkozy put his reputation as a stalwart friend of Israel on the line Wednesday, warning that military action was no way to deal with nuclearminded Iran at a dinner hosted by Frances main Nicolas Sarkozy Jewish group and his likely presidential election rival in the audience. In the wake of new U.S. concerns that Israel might strike Irans nuclear facilities this spring, Sarkozy reiterated his iron-clad commitment to Israels security but emphasized the solution is never military. The solution is political, the solution is diplomatic, the solution is in sanctions, Sarkozy said, referring to a string of U.N. sanctions over Irans nuclear program, which the West fears mask designs to build weapons. We want the leaders of this country to understand that they have crossed a red line, and to reassure Israeli leaders so that the irreparable is not carried out, Sarkozy said of possible military action.
GOP: Reverse Obama birth control policy

WASHINGTON Republicans vowed Wednesday to reverse President Barack Obamas new policy on birth control, lambasting the rule that religious schools and hospitals must provide contraceptive coverage for their employees as an unambiguous attack on religious freedom in our country. The White House pushed back in the face of a political restorm, arguing that Obama was sensitive to the objections and looking for a way to allay the concerns. Democratic women lawmakers put up a united front in defending the administration. Womens health care should not depend on who the boss is, said Illinois Rep. Jan Schakowsky. The ght over the administration mandate escalated as House Speaker John Boehner accused the administration of violating First Amendment rights and undermining some of the countrys most vital institutions, such as Catholic charities, schools and hospitals. He demanded that Obama rescind the policy or else Congress will. This attack by the federal government on religious freedom in our country cannot stand, and will not stand, Boehner, a John Boehner Catholic and O h i o Republican, said in a oor speech rare for the speaker. The contentious issue has roiled the presidential race and angered religious groups, especially Catholics, who say the requirement would force them to violate church teachings and long-held beliefs against contraception. It also has pushed social issues to the forefront in an election year that has been dominated by the economy. Abortion, contraception and any of the requirements of Obamas health care overhaul law have the potential to galvanize the Republicans conservative base, critical to voter turnout in the presidential and congressional races. Clearly sensing a political opening, Republicans ramped up the criticism.
House Republicans approve line-item veto for president

By Jim Abrams
WASHINGTON House Republicans put aside their usual antipathy toward President Barack Obama on Wednesday to give the president, and his successors, the line-item veto, a constitutionally questionable power over the purse that long has been sought by presidents of both parties. A minority of Democrats joined in casting a 254-173 vote in favor of allowing the president to pick out specic items in spending bills for elimination. Currently, the chief executive must sign or veto spending bills in their entirety. The main opposition came from members of the Appropriations Committee, which is responsible for putting together the annual spending bills. They argued that the bill upsets the constitutional separation of powers balance in favor of the executive branch, and that
recent efforts to curtail so-called earmarks in spending bills make the lineitem veto unnecessary. The bill now goes to the Senate, where Barack Obama its prospects are uncertain. In 1996, a Republican-controlled Congress succeeded in giving lineitem veto authority to another Democratic president, Bill Clinton. He exercised that authority 82 times, and although Congress overrode his veto in 38 instances, the moves saved the government almost $2 billion. But in 1998, on a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that the law was unconstitutional, saying it violated the principle that Congress, and not the executive branch, holds the power of the purse.
In scientific coup, Russians reach Antarctic lake

MOSCOW Opening a scientic frontier miles under the Antarctic ice, Russian experts drilled down and nally reached the surface of a gigantic freshwater lake, an achievement the mission chief likened to placing a man on the moon. Lake Vostok could hold living organisms that have been locked in icy darkness for some 20 million years, as well as clues to the search for life elsewhere in the solar system. Touching the surface of the lake, the largest of nearly 400 subglacial lakes in Antarctica, came after more than two decades of drilling, and was a major achievement avidly anticipated by scientists around the world. In the simplest sense, it can transform the way we think about life, NASAs chief scientist Waleed Abdalati told the Associated Press in an email Wednesday.
EU threatens new sanctions on Syria

By Bassem Mroue
BEIRUT The European Union will impose harsher sanctions on Syria, a senior EU official said Wednesday, as Russia tried to broker talks between the vice president and the opposition to calm violence. Activists reported at least 50 killed in the regimes siege of the restive city of Homs. Russia, a close ally of Syria, and the West are pushing down starkly different paths in trying to deal with Syrias nearly 11 months of bloodshed. After blocking a Western and Arab attempt to bring U.N. pressure on President Bashar Assad to step down, Russia has launched a bid to show it can resolve the turmoil. Moscow is calling for a combination of reforms by the regime and negotiations, without calling for
Assad to go. Its provisions are so far nding no traction with the opposition, which dismisses promises of reform as empty gestures, refuses any negotiations while violence continues and says Assads removal is the only option in the crisis. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said outside forces should let Syrians settle their conflict independently. We should not act like a bull in a china shop, Putin said, according to the ITAR-TASS news agency. We have to give people a chance to make decisions about their destiny independently, to help, to give advice, to put limits somewhere so that the opposing sides would not have a chance to use arms, but not to interfere. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who met with Assad Tuesday in Damascus, told reporters

Chocolates a challenge for gardening Valentines

By Lee Reich
If chocolates the thing for your sweetie on Valentines Day, why give plain old candy when you can give a chocolate plant (Theobroma cacao)?
THE CHALLENGE OF CHOCOLATE

Growing chocolate from seed is difcult. Fresh, they are covered with what looks like a cottony mass that keeps them properly moist for sprouting. The covering is slimy, though, and starts to rot away as
soon as the seeds are out of the pods. Still, you might want to give the seeds as a gardening challenge, perhaps nestled in a gift box on some moist, real cotton. To sprout, the seeds need warmth and welldrained soil. Fresh seeds are available online at Montosgardens.com and Organicfarm.net. A chocolate plant thats up and growing makes a more dramatic gift than a few seeds snuggled in cotton. (Plants are widely available online.) But caring for an already growing chocolate plant is still a challenge. Chocolate is native to the tropical lowlands of Central and South
America within 20 degrees on either side of the equator. There, neither the temperature nor the humidity ever drops much below about 70. Contrast such tropical conditions with those in the average home in winter. Yes, indoor temperat u r e s m i g h t hover at around 70, although many of us let the temperature drop at night. A bigger
problem is humidity, which typically is less than 40 percent indoors in winter. Frequently misting the plant, standing the pot in a saucer of pebbles and water, and clustering it close to other plants all help to bring the humidity up. Chocolate naturally grows as an understory tree, and even under cultivation is grown in shade. So providing sufcient light does not present much of a problem in growing a potted plant indoors.
The plant wont tolerate a dark room, though. Direct your Valentine to set the plant at a sunny window, which in midwinter in more northerly latitudes receives about the same amount of light as a shaded tree near the equator. As winter progresses and the northern sun loops higher in the sky, the plant needs to be pulled back from the window to keep the leaves from burning. An indoor chocolate plant appreciates an annual vacation to the tropics. Give it something close by moving it outdoors in dappled

Valentines gifts for the hip guy

By Kim Cook
Valentines Day gift shopping for the man in your life? New, guy-oriented Web sites such as Ploomy, Gent Supply Co. and Ask Men offer some ideas as well as advice and information for the modern man on everything from managing money and dressing to impress, to learning about classic lms, cleaning a bathroom and choosing a quality libation. Anthony Doctolero, who founded Ploomy (real solutions for men who want to arrive ahead of schedule), suggests this gift for the young and hip: Even the most spartan bachelor pads weve been in lately had at least one piece of artwork up, he notes. Artworks a great gift to express individualism and taste, says Doctolero. Get him something on canvas. Its a major step up from all those movie posters hes got rolled up in the closet from his dorm room days. If you opt for a printed poster, then get something with style
and frame it. Chicago-based graphic artist Jenny Beorkrem designs striking posters depicting the neighborhoods of several cities, at a price that leaves room for a great frame. Gent Supply Co. is the new brother site for online gift retailer delight.com. It offers classic goods for the modern gentleman who cooks, cleans, plays hard and understands a bit of style. Among the goods: Anthony Chrisps Dart coat hooks in chromed steel. Oregonbased Resource Revival has a Bike Chain Bowl and Cog Desk Clock made of recycled bicycle parts, with a modern industrial vibe. Eco-conscious fellows might appreciate RuMes water-resistant tote bags. Sold in sets of three, in solids or patterns such as a keypad, pinstripe or necktie, theyre perfect for Saturday shopping. Gents also has a Scottish leather Dopp kit with water resistant liner that would make a lasting gift. Chances are your dad or grandpa had one of these, reminiscent of the toiletry kits handed out to servicemen during WWII. Add a nice badger hair shave
brush in a clever blue, anodized travel case that twists closed. Very Don Draper. Got a game buff on your hands? Clear the room of clutter and wires with Brookstones X-rocker wireless pedestal chair. It has 65 feet of wireless reach, headrest speakers and a comfy seat. Get the TV positioned in style with Restoration Hardwares new easel stand, which allows a 42-inch or larger TV to be mounted at different heights, within a small room footprint. Doctolero also suggests giving wine. Uncommon Goods has a sleek, wall-mounted, steel wine rack that would t even tiny apartments. Lumens stocks the Wine Knot, a compact, practical and great-looking table rack molded of birch and walnut plywood. And nally, for the man locked to his laptop, Imm-Livings nifty PVC USB plugs come in fun styles like feathers, spectacles and clenched sts.

CHOCOLATE
shade each summer to bask in buoyant air and high humidity.
SEED HARVEST IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

So much for growing chocolate; what about eating it? With good growing conditions, football-shaped pods a half-foot to a foot long will pop right out of the trunk or stems within about five years for a seed-grown plant, a couple of years for a nursery-bought plant.
But this is not a fruit to pluck right off the tree and chomp on. First, theres the hard shell. Second, the seeds called cacao beans at this point taste like chocolate only after some processing. Cacao beans are converted to cocoa, then chocolate, by first letting the slimy covering ferment as the beans are piled together and kept warm for about a week. After a few more days of drying, the chocolatey flavor starts to emerge. Next, the seeds are roasted at about 270 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours. Finally, theyre ground up and treated with alkali to remove bitterness. Defatted and powdered, you have cocoa; with some fat, sweetener, and other ingredients such as milk, you
have various kinds of chocolate.
A TASTE OF HISTORY
Use of chocolate goes back to the Mayans, who considered it a gift from their god of air, Quetzalcoatl. The Spanish were the first Europeans to get hold of chocolate pods and, 50 years later, figured out what to do with them. After harvest begins, you might want to snuggle up with your Valentine and sip hot chocolate from this 16th century Spanish recipe: Combine 50 cacao beans with a chili pepper pod, a quarter pound of sugar, and some anise, rose blossoms, cinnamon, almonds and hazelnuts. Grind to a paste, add a cup of boiling water, and serve hot and steamy. Sweet.

Ask a Designer: Let your home do your wooing

By Melissa Rayworth
their gal pal become their spouse in the future.
Could a few changes to your living space help you land the perfect mate? Good decorating cant guarantee happy romance, of course. But if a new date nds your home appealing, he or she is more likely to spend time there which means spending time with you. And if your home expresses your personality, you and your date can discover more quickly whether youre compatible. Fortunately, its not expensive to make your space more date-friendly, says interior designer Betsy Burnham. The goal isnt to redecorate; youre simply presenting your home at its best. With Valentines Day approaching, Burnham and interior designers Brian Patrick Flynn of decordemon.com and Kyle Schuneman of Live Well Designs share advice on making a new dates visit a successful one.
INFUSE YOUR PERSONALITY

Burnham suggests decorating your main living area with items that reveal something about your personality or experiences. Arrange a stack of your favorite books on a coffee table. If you play an instrument, consider displaying it. If youre out of the room, these things tell your date something about you, she says. Theyre a jumping-off point for conversation. Schuneman encourages clients to decorate with items collected during their travels, either from exotic places or closer to home.
CREATE A LOUNGE SPACE

Since the kitchen is where most guests seem to feel the most comfortable, I like to turn small kitchens into more intimate, lounge-like gathering spaces, where conversation and irtation is encouraged, Flynn says. In a small condo, I covered all of its walls with $8-per-square-foot glossy black penny rounds (tiles), and added three chrome-andcrystal pendants, he says. Then I brought in barstools upholstered in a red-and-white chinoiserie fabric, which had a bit of a Vegas feel, but still had enough traditional air to remain classic.
CLEAN UP
The obvious things really are worth saying here: Cleanliness is free, and its appreciated, Burnham says. Do all the dishes before the Soft textures will make a chair or sofa more inviting, and a uffy rug can delight guests who person arrives. Scrub the sinks. Clean out the will be taking off their shoes. fridge.

ADD FRESH TOUCHES

All three designers suggest adding just a few new details to energize your space. For minimal expense, you can brighten your sofa with new throw pillows or add fresh hand towels to the bathroom, Burnham says. Scout around for sales and buy a beautiful, oversize bowl to display fresh fruit in your kitchen, or a new vase for owers. Dont worry that youll come on too strong, she says.

Unfortunately for Nietzel, the Rockem Sockem Robots didnt make the cut. The unfettered access to Costas goods left Neitzel like, well, like a kid in a candy store. She found stuff I forgot I even had, said Costa, a self-professed lover of clutter. Postel said the exhibit is a particularly great catch because it is local. This is a very cool collection. There are some very interesting private collections in San Mateo County and its wonderful to be given the chance to enjoy one. It shows the eclectic nature of people, Postel said. As Neitzel and Blair worked to get the exhibit ready for its Feb. 14 debut, Costa stole the opportunity to wind up a metal helicopter that circles a base. Hed never turned it on before. I dont have the time, he joked. With as big a store he has, it is no wonder. Costas foray into toy collection began when he bought a carload of trains to sell at the ofce supply store he opened in 1965. The items did OK he said but they also launched his fondness for antique toys. I dont go hunting or golng. I go buying, he said. And hes not kidding. His wife placed a sign on his desk saying Sell what you have, then buy more, he said. But hes undeterred. If I like it, I buy it, he said. His collection has grown so large and so well-known he no longer visits garage sales himself; people bring in items. The store also draws those who simply want to look as well as school trips. Lending out his toys to exhibits, like one focused on board games and game shows at San Francisco International Airport and the upcoming show at the history museum, is another way to share, Costa said. I love having people being able to see grandmother drove them from Palo Alto to Half Moon Bay in her BMW because he has a suspended license. Valdez reportedly grew angry at the slow speed and pushed down his grandmothers right leg to accelerate the vehicle. The frightened woman tried pulling into a Shell gas station for help but Valdez yanked her from the drivers seat and threw her into the passenger side. When the woman tried leaving the vehicle, Valdez allegedly punched her in the face several times and kept her inside. A witness at a nearby 7-Eleven called 911, alerting a deputy sheriff who spotted the car on State Route 92. The deputy reported seeing Valdez grab his grandmothers hair and slam her head against the passenger window several Roberts said, Task forces of this nature are a crucial component for local law enforcement to effectively address violent crime and narcotic trafcking in their communities. The defendants were charged with various drug trafcking crimes in at least 15 different grand jury indictments and criminal complaints. Most of the charges were led under seal on Jan. 31 and unsealed Wednesday. In addition to the 27 arrested Tuesday, six other defendants are fugitives, Haag said. She said money, drugs, rearms and cars were seized in the searches. Haag said the FBI agents who helped to carry out Tuesdays arrests and searches came from FBI SWAT teams in South San Franciscos policy allows for trustees to be excused. In the bylaw cited for the resolution going before the board Thursday, there is no limitation for such excuse. Other rules discussing reasons that could cause a vacancy allow for up to a year for someone called to serve in the military. There is no time limit when it comes to medical reasons. One consideration is experience. Hoch has been on the board since 1990, something that can be a benet. it and this [exhibit] takes them back in childhood, Costa said. Some of that childhood shows just how toys can differ than modern counterparts tted with safety labels. A junior jigsaw came with a note saying it is completely safe for children because the motor is fully encased, Neitzel said. No comment, though, on that exposed blade. An electric 1929 porcelain Lionel stove and oven is in perfect working order and perfectly heats up to 600 degrees. Postel is fond of the Tonka toys, maybe a concession to the fact his brother always had them, and happily points out the James Bond car on a atbed truck in the tune-up section. Slightly larger vehicles, including pedal car, re truck and airplane, will also gure prominently. The re truck and its fellow engine models are accompanied by a clear photo of Burlingame Fire Department engine driving down the street in 1939. The public will be able to see some of the toys in motion. The Lionel train will be on a motion sensor and Miss Friday is being rewired so viewers can turn her on with a button. Others, like a mint condition Erector set will be off limits. Costa and the others concede its too bad the exhibit cant be more interactive but protecting the integrity of the toys, many which carry hefty price tags, is a priority. But maybe the signs explaining the hands-off request can add another memory from childhood: being told to look and not touch. The San Mateo County History Museum is at 2200 Broadway, Redwood City. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for seniors and students and free for children 5 and under. For more information call 299-0104 or visit ww.historysmc.org times before he was able to stop the car. The woman jumped from the vehicle, yelling for help, according to the deputys report. The deputy also reported nding .05 grams of heroin in the cars central console. The woman told authorities Valdez never hit her and did not want her grandson arrested. Defense attorney Rachel Holt could not be reached for comment. At the time of his arrest, Valdez had several prior run-ins with the law. He was convicted twice of driving on a suspended drivers license and once for driving while intoxicated. He was acquitted of misdemeanor domestic violence and a 2009 misdemeanor battery case was dropped by the District Attorneys Ofce in the interest of justice. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Portland, Phoenix and Las Vegas, she said. She said federal and state agencies participating in the two-year investigation were the U.S. Attorneys Ofce, the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the California Highway Patrol. Local agencies that joined in the investigation included the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce and the East Palo Alto, Fremont, Menlo Park, Mountain View, Newark, Oakland, Palo Alto, Redwood City, Santa Clara and Stockton police departments.

TOYS
Grown-up: Toys from the Harry P. Costa Collection will see actual toys juxtaposed with large black-and-white photographs from the time period showing the jobs the toys represent in action. Each is grouped under headings like Under investigation, All aboard and Time for a tune-up. One wall showcases playing house; another looks at science. Others highlight construction, re safety and transportation. Costa, 83, and a fan of the wind-up toys particularly likes a small chef cook gurine because it ips eggs. Above, a 1986 photo entitled Pat and Earl Schmidt at an auxiliary barbecue shows a man similarly adorned in chefs gear. He also likes a small pink and blue mechanical laundry press machine known as a mangle. Thats because users often caught their ngers in its workings, he said. You go into any Italian basement and youd nd one of these, Costa said, explaining how they were used for sheets and pillow cases. This joining of toys and history is the goal for Neitzel, Blair and Historical Association President Mitch Postel. As for that Miss Friday? Shes in the Under Investigation section, near a photo of a Belmont police dispatcher using a computer keyboard. Curator Dana Neitzel and Deputy Director Carmen Blair conceived the idea for the exhibit while touring Costas San Bruno store looking for pieces for the museums permanent collection. By the time they left, the theme was in mind and the challenge became winnowing down a collection far too big for a numerical label the best Costa can say is it includes 10,000 Hot Wheels and matchbox cars into a more manageable size.
VALDEZ
Lisa Novak gave Valdez three years for each count but ordered they be served concurrently. The District Attorneys Ofce is happy with the outcome, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti.

Authorities reported that at approximately 11:30 p.m. Sept. 24, Valdezs

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE The City Council of the City of Millbrae, at its meeting on January 24, 2012, introduced an Ordinance entitled: ORDINANCE TO ADD CHAPTER 6.05 TO THE MILLBRAE MUNICIPAL CODE PROHIBITING THE DISTRIBUTION OF SINGLE-USE CARRYOUT BAGS AND PROHIBITING THE FREE DISTRIBUTION OF RECYCLED CONTENT PAPER BAGS BY RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS AND TO AMEND SECTION 1.05.020 TO DESIGNATE ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL The proposed Ordinance regulates the use of single-use carryout bags to reduce the amount and visibility of litter associated with the bags and encourages the use of reusable bags. The Ordinance prohibits the distribution of single-use plastic and free paper carryout bags from "retail establishments" for point-ofsale purchases, and requires a minimum of a $0.10 charge for recycled content paper bags and reusable bags. Retail establishments include any commercial establishment that sells perishable or nonperishable goods and is located or doing business in the City of Millbrae, but food vendors (restaurants), dry cleaners and non-profit charitable organizations are exempt businesses. The Ordinance requires that paper bags have a minimum of 40% postconsumer recycled content with no use of old growth trees, and be 100% recyclable. Certain protective bags are exempt, such as bakery item bags, meat and produce bags, pharmaceutical bags, flat greeting card bags, dry cleaning bags and bags that hold live plants or small hardware items. The bag charge would not apply to customers using the California Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) or participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP - formerly food stamps). All five members of the City Council, to wit Councilmembers Papan, Holober, Gottschalk, and Lee and Mayor Colapietro, were present and voted in favor of the introduction of this Ordinance. The Ordinance will be presented to the City Council for a second reading and enactment at the February 14, 2012, City Council meeting. This Summary was prepared by the City Attorney in accordance with Government Code Section 36933(c)(1).
