By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Americans are getting an election-year tax present. Congress voted with rare speed and cooperation Friday to extend a Social Security payroll tax cut for 160 million workers and to renew unemployment benets for millions more who havent seen a
paycheck in six months. With lawmakers ratings in the gutter, the legislation sped through both the House and Senate and was on its way to Barack Obama P r e s i d e n t

WASHINGTON Millions of Americans will continue to receive long-term unemployment benets under legislation approved Friday in Congress, but the scope of the program is being scaled back to
cover fewer people by the end of the year. The measure, which also extends a payroll tax cut through the rest of 2012, begins to wind down the program of extended federal jobless benefits that Congress first

Enjoying an Amazing Race

By Heather Murtagh

It was probably one of the most exciting things I ever got to do, said
When given the chance to travel the world with your best friend, you go, right? Thats what Andrew Weber, a professional goalkeeper, decided. Weber and his twin brother Elliot, 28, recently got the chance after applying via video for The Amazing Race a reality show in which teams of two race around the world, completing challenges along the way, for a chance at $1 million. While production has wrapped on the show, its unknown how the Weber boys did since the show debuts Sunday.
Andrew Weber. I would do it again. I would totally do it again. I wish everyone could get that chance to do it. Keeping the results hush-hush wasnt a challenge, but Andrew Weber is eager to see how foolish he looks on television. The Webers grew up in Arizona. Andrew Weber moved to Menlo Park in 2009 after getting a call from the San Jose Earthquakes. Elliot Weber, a musician, stayed in Arizona (Andrew Weber is convinced his brothers new band The Nova will be big look out for them).
When Mark Harvin and Jerry Hill rst met, the teen was ransacking the then-county supervisors San Mateo garage looking for anything to fund his crystal meth and alcohol addiction. Meeting again 11 years later, what the 28-year-old clean and sober man seeks now are amends. The two men
reunited Friday morning at Project Ninety, the rehabilitation program Harvin credits for turning him from the drug-crazed person who Hill initially encountered into the person capable of sending the now-assemblyman a letter apologizing for the July 2001 encounter. I never thought life could be good like this, Harvin said.

Plastic bags distributed at grocery stores and other retail establishments are seen as harmful to the environment and wildlife. The uniform law proposes nes from $100 to $500. A number of cities around the Bay Area have their own bans in place. San Joses bag-ban law went into effect at the beginning of the year. It bans retailers from handing out single-use plastic bags. San Jose shoppers must bring reusable bags or buy paper bags for 10 cents each. Last year, South San Francisco passed a voluntary ban in hopes of encouraging businesses to opt for the greener version. In its ordinance, the city gave businesses the ability to charge 5 to 10 cents to cover the increased costs for recyclable bags. Recently, Millbrae passed an ordinance banning bags which affects about 50 businesses once the ban starts in September. Stores can charge a minimum of 10 cents per bag, should a customer need to purchase one. Those paper bags must be comprised of at least 40 percent post-consumer recycled materials. The council meets 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21 at City Hall, 620 Foster City Blvd.

Obama raises $29 million for campaign,Democrats
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama pulled in $29.1 million for his re-election campaign and the Democratic Party in January, raising his total for this election cycle to about $250 million. The sum, announced Friday, shows hes picked up the pace from his $23 million-amonth average of the nal three months of last year According to nancial reports and Obama campaign ofcials, the Obama Victory Fund, a joint venture of his campaign and the Democratic National Committee, raised $13.4 million. Separately, the Obama campaign raised $9.3 million, the DNC raised $6.1 million and an Obama swing state fund raised $384,000.
It was love at rst listen. Ralph Woodson, lead singer and guitarist of Jimi Hendrix cover band Purple Haze, was 10. He ran home in the middle of a pickup baseball game to grab a drink of water. He heard his oldest brother playing Jimi Hendrixs album Band of Gypsys. I stayed there and listened to the whole album, said Woodson, who grew up in Richmond and is the youngest of nine children. I didnt go back to the baseball game. Listening to Hendrix sparked Woodsons aspirations as a musician. I didnt say I wanted to play like him, I said I wanted to be as good as him, he said. I had the ambition to play on the same level. When Woodson got his rst guitar at age 15, he still had his sights set on playing as well as Hendrix. He taught himself how to play by imitating live Hendrix records. Woodson also learned how to tune a guitar this way. You could hear Jimi tuning on the live versions, and thats how I learned how to tune, he said.
Purple Haze will be playing with Kevin Russells Cream of Clapton at 8 p.m. at Club Fox in Redwood City,Saturday,Feb.18.
At age 16, he began playing in a band. His band performed for his parents friends at military bases. In his early 20s, Woodson was part of a band called The Togetherness. Thats when we tackled Hendrix and jazz fusion, he said. Hendrix opened us up to different kinds of music. As Woodsons talent progressed, he toured with established musicians, including a band called the Trichromes, which included
Journeys Neil Schon and Bill Kreutzman from the Grateful Dead. Later, as part of Sy Klopps Blues Band, Woodson opened for Tower of Power, James Brown, ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd. His greatest experience was opening for Stevie Ray Vaughan, playing for 40,000 people in Alpine, Wisc. It was totally mind-blowing for me, said Woodson, who also opened for the Grateful Dead in 2003. Woodson has several albums of original songs and one from Purple Haze, Woodsons current group. Purple Haze is a three-piece band that has been around for seven years. Woodson, drummer Dan Cueva and bass player and backing vocalist Pete Roberts perform around California and nearby states. [Audiences] can expect an authentic version of Jimi Hendrix, said Woodson. We do live versions. Most of the serious Hendrix followers will know the live stuff. Woodson said he adds a little of his own playing at the end of his Hendrix renditions. For example, he adds his own fusion of

Comment period extended for realignment plan

The public has a slightly larger window on which to comment on the countys draft plan to supervise low-level state prisoners and parolees who are being shifted to local responsibility under the state budget-balancing plan known as realignment. The comment period scheduled to end Feb. 8 was extended to 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 19. All the comments submitted by that point will be compiled and discussed that Thursday at a meeting of the Community Corrections
Partnership. The partnership created the draft Public Safety Realignment Local Implementation Plan and has been working for months on how best to implement realignment. The CCP is a collaboration of the Probation Department, Sheriffs Office, District Attorneys Ofce, Health System and Human Services Agency as well as judiciary, education and nonprot groups. The draft 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. Comments may be submitted online or in writing.

Dorothy H. Yamamoto
Dorothy H. Yamamoto, resident of Menlo Park, died Feb. 9, 2012 at the age of 92. Dorothy was born Feb. 5, 1920 in Butte, Mont., she grew up in Portland, Ore. and was a resident of Menlo Park for 42 years. Dorothy married Marshall Fell in 1941 and moved to eastern Oregon, where she raised four children. She was widowed at the age of 41. She married Yukio Yamamoto five years later. Yukios job with the U.S. Geological Survey sent he and Dorothy to several locations in Idaho, Nevada and Oregon, and they settled in Menlo Park. Upon Yukios retirement, they both became very involved with volunteer work distributing food to food banks, and volunteering at San Mateo County General Hospital for 20 years. Dorothy was famous for the scarves she made. She donated many to the gift shop at the hospital. She also generously gave them to others she came in contact with. She had a can-do attitude, and, although had many health issues, kept her spirits up. Dorothy is survived by her children, Greg, Deborah and Tom. She is preceded in death by her husband, Yukio, who passed in May of 2010, and her son Jim. Internment will be held in Dinuba, with a celebration of life for family and friends at the family home shortly thereafter. The family appreciates donations be sent to San Mateo County General Hospital or Shriners Hospital which can be located online.
Terror suspect arrested near Capitol

WASHINGTON A 29-year-old Moroccan man who believed he was working with al-Qaida was arrested Friday near the U.S. Capitol as he was planning to detonate what he thought was a suicide vest that undercover operatives gave him, ofcials said. Amine El Khali of Alexandria, Va., was taken into custody with a gun that didnt work and inert explosives, according to a counterterrorism ofcial. He arrived near the Capitol in a van with the two undercover operatives, and walked toward the building, according to court papers. He was arrested before he left the parking garage. El Khali made a brief appearance on Friday afternoon in federal court in Alexandria, where a judge set a bail hearing for Wednesday. After his arrest, FBI agents raided a red brick rambler home in Arlington, Va. A police car blocked the entrance. A criminal complaint charges him with knowingly and unlawfully attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against property that is owned and used by the United States. The charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. El Khali, who was under constant surveillance, expressed interest in killing at least 30 people and considered targeting a building in Alexandria and a restaurant, synagogue and a place where military personnel gather in Washington before he settled on the Capitol after canvassing that area a couple of times, the counterterrorism official said. During the investigation, El Khali went with undercover operatives in January to a quarry in West Virginia to practice detonating explosives, according to court documents.

State lawmakers switch days to collect payments

By Juliet Williams and Judy Lin
Steve Skalko
Steve Skalko, late of Burlingame and San Mateo County resident for 40 years, died peacefully Feb. 13, 2012. Fianc of Toki Blackwell and loving son of the late Ann Mary Skalko and Steve Skalko. A native of San Francisco Bayview District for 38 years. Dear friend to many cousins and longtime friends. A graduate of Balboa High School in San Francisco, Steve worked various jobs, finally settling as a surveyor for the city of San Francisco. Steve was actively involved in the Napredak hall in San Jose and the Croatian Cultural Center in San Francisco. He enjoyed spending time with his family and close friends. Daily Steve went to coffee with longtime friends at the deli, attending various parties and high school reunions. Steve enjoyed listening to records, drinks, dancing and laughter. Family and friends are invited to attend the memorial 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 23 at the Chapel of the Highlands, 194 Millwood Drive at El Camino Real in Millbrae. Reception to follow at The Elks Lodge, 920 Stonegate Drive in South San Francisco, 94080. SACRAMENTO Both houses of the Legislature met for less than an hour Friday, offering eulogies to departed constituents, introducing guests and commemorating Japanese-Americans who were interned during World War II. While the brief sessions offered little in the way of substance, they did allow
lawmakers to continue collecting a perk their $142-a-day per diem payments that boost their annual salaries by tens of thousands of dollars. Total cost to taxpayers for making the payments over the four days starting Friday: $65,000. The whole thing is really done just to line their own pocketbooks, said Bob Stern, former president of the Center for Governmental Studies in Los Angeles. He said switching the day of the leg-
islative session ahead of a holiday weekend is a long-standing tradition but also is a questionable one, especially as California continues to deal with ongoing budget shortfalls that have forced billions of dollars in spending cuts. Stern said he supports compensating lawmakers for the time they are in Sacramento, but said the whole weekend situation is really kind of absurd. Theyre not up there during the weekend.
Westbound Bay Bridge set for weekend closure

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco residents getting out of town for the long holiday weekend will want to plan ahead for the closure of one direction of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The closure of the westbound lanes of
the bridge which could have been delayed if rain moved into the area is set for 8 p.m. Friday. The roadway will be closed so crews can work on reconguring lanes on the upper deck, as well as paving and painting lanes. Caltrans says the westbound lanes are
due to open at 5 a.m. Tuesday, as long as the weather cooperates, with no heavy rainfall. The National Weather Service says a weather system is approaching the region, but is forecasting only a 20 percent chance of showers on Monday.

OPINION
Khrushchev famously (and erroneously) predicted in 1963. Today, with the exception of a few holdouts in Hanoi, Havana and Hollywood, it is communism that has collapsed. The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other peoples money Margaret Thatcher. Some of the primary criticisms of socialism are distorted or absent price signals, reduced incentives, reduced prosperity, feasibility and its social and political effects. Even in Sweden, socialism is beginning to lose some of its appeal. The 2006 elections, won by the non-socialists, resulted in abolishment of two of the least popular taxes; the real estate and capital taxes. It seems that even the Swedes had nally had enough. Capitalism is doing well. Private individuals running businesses and corporations employ millions and their stocks and bonds provide growth and income to other millions. Many union pension funds and retired individuals hold mutual funds in IRAs. By selling stocks and bonds, Wall Street enables businesses to expand more rapidly than they could with internal funds. As a result, they are able to hire more workers and buy more capital equipment sooner. This directly and indirectly contributes to higher employment. Yes, capitalism can survive but only if it proactively adopts change. Only the most naive believe that self-policing works. Would anyone truly want to return to the days before the Federal Drug Administration and Environmental Protection Agency existed? Federal and state regulatory agencies are needed to ensure individuals and corporations dont abuse their power. Instead, we should consider constrained capitalism. How would private individuals and corporations behave under constrained

capitalism? They would act within the spirit of the law as well as the letter. As President Obama said in his November 2010 interview with Steve Croft, some of the most damaging behavior on Wall Street, in some cases, some of the least ethical behavior on Wall Street, wasnt illegal. These behaviors may not have been strictly illegal but cannot be defended on moral grounds; They would get out into the communities where you have operations and listen to people. I dont mean Atherton, Hillsborough and Woodside. Corporate boards should do more to identify the needs of the communities where they operate. Then, develop incentives for their management so that they will better serve these communities. Management will do that which they have an incentive to do; They would provide opportunities for people to move up the economic ladder. No one expects a guarantee, but everyone should be hired on merit and promoted based on results; They would play by the same rules that middle class individuals play by; They would make downsizing the last resort not the rst. Many workers require years to recover their former standard of living after a layoff. And many older workers never do. They are forced into early retirement; and They would abandon the relentless pursuit of prot. Establish a rate of return on invested capital that is commensurate with the risk taken. Then adjust prices and wages to meet this rate of return.

apitalism has been criticized most recently by the Occupy Wall Street gang and has frequently been condemned by socialists. It is most often defended by conservatives and libertarians. There is no universally accepted denition of capitalism. So, the Random House Websters College Dictionary will do for a start. Capitalism is an economic system in which the investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiey by private individuals or corporations. Consider life under the system that preceded capitalism Feudalism. Those at the top, the Barons, had property and were allowed to gather wealth. They were obliged to serve on the royal council, pay rent and provide the king with knights for military service. Knights had to protect the baron and his family from attack. They were quite wealthy. Serfs had to provide the knight with free labor, food and service whenever it was demanded. They had no rights. They were not allowed to leave the manor and had to ask their lords permission before they could marry. They were very poor. Clearly, capitalism was an improvement. Capitalism became dominant in the Western world following the demise of Feudalism. Unfortunately, some capitalists became wealthy by unethical means, e.g., questionable stock market operations, plundering the environment and exploiting labor. They were unchecked by law or conscience and needed to be properly regulated. Look at the slipshod maintenance of Pacic Gas and Electric and Alaska Airlines and the predatory lending practices of Wells Fargo. It is easy to see why we need agencies such as the Public Utilities Commission, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Federal Reserve just to name a few. We will bury you Nikita
Letters to the editor

Taking responsibility
Editor, The conservative economist Bruce Bartlett was the supply-side champion who wrote the manifesto for the Reagan Revolution. Bartlett became a senior policy analyst in the Reagan administration and a top ofcial at the Treasury Department under George H. W. Bush. Yet for all those credentials, he is today an outcast from the very conservative ranks where he was once so inuential. The Bush tax cuts have added at least $3 trillion to the debt. When Bush took ofce, budget projections showed a $6 trillion surplus, enough to pay off the pending $6 trillion national debt. Instead, by the time Bush left ofce, the national debt had ballooned to over $10 trillion. The Republicans are now refusing to take responsibility for having driven the borrowing binge that put the nation in the hole it is in now. Well, its very much like religion. And I think that its not a surprise that so many very, you know, devout Christians are a part of the Republican Party and accept a lot of this. Because the nature of deep religious belief is faith, which means you accept things for which there is no proof. Bruce Bartlett.

omebody, who wouldnt be good enough, who wouldnt be certied to pick tomatoes or clean bathrooms is sitting in the White House. According to media reports, thus spake Orly Taitz, the dedicated Obama hater, to GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on Monday, last, trying to have that become a major issue in his campaign for the presidency. To his credit, Gingrich ignored her. I am humbled by the power of hate, gossip and propaganda, in general, to warp national standards of decency. At least a billion dollars will be spent on the current run for the presidency in scurrilous personal attacks on all the candidates of all the political parties. The current crop of the politics of personal destruction traces directly back Lee Atwater, the media man for George H.W. Bushs 1988 run for the presidency. It is almost impossible to convey the level of viciousness this amoral man exercised until, in 1990, he collapsed with brain cancer. Then, apparently looking for redemption and a peaceful conclusion to his life, he converted to Catholicism and began apologizing to the political gures he had wronged. According to Wikipedia, Atwater issued a number of public and written letters to individuals to whom he had been opposed during his political career. In a letter dated June 28, 1990, he stated, my illness has taught me something about the nature of humanity, love, brotherhood and relationships that I never understood, and probably never would have. So, from that standpoint, there is some truth and good in everything. In a February 1991 article for Life magazine, Atwater wrote: My illness helped me to see that what was missing in society is what was missing in me: a little heart, a lot of brotherhood. The 80s were about acquiring acquiring wealth, power, prestige. I know. I acquired more wealth, power and prestige than most. But you can acquire all you want and still feel empty. What power wouldnt I trade for a little more time with my family? What price wouldnt I pay for an evening with friends? It took a deadly illness to put me eye to eye with that truth, but it is a truth that the country, caught up in its ruthless ambitions and moral decay, can learn on my dime. I dont know who will lead us through the 90s, but they must be made to speak to this spiritual vacuum at the heart of American society, this tumor of the soul. Of course, we now know that didnt happen. This article was notable for an apology to (Democratic presidential candidate) Michael Dukakis for the naked cruelty of the 1988 presidential election campaign. But it was too late, wasnt it Lee? The damage you inicted had already been done, not only to Dukakis, but to our national civility and the decency in the democratic processes, hopefully, gifted to us by the Founding Fathers and, especially, to your own soul. And speaking about the Founders, I was surprised to learn as far back as George Washington, hate campaigning was in vogue and some was directed toward him. But the watershed for negative campaigning with lies, innuendo, bitter partisan press and disinformation was the election of 1800, involving Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Great precedent from the Founders, dont you think? Most historians Ive read agree the most cruelly violent personal attacks in American political history were inicted upon the widely reviled Abraham Lincoln although President Obama is on track to beat that record. Aside from Lincolns hated policies, he was ungainly and physically unattractive, if not just plain ugly and was repeatedly referred to as a tall, long-armed baboon. What must have gotten him through all that ugliness was his great sense of humor. It was reported a lady confronted him with: You have the ugliest face I have ever seen, If I had a better face, Madam, I would be wearing it, he answered politely. I somehow think that President Obama will, similarly, get through all the cartoonish hatred of the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Ive admired his ability to brush all of this off with good humor and hold on to a sense of self respect and dignity that precludes him speaking so insultingly and derisively of any who elects to oppose him personally. Those others wont even be footnotes in history. Not that Im supporting any of the current crop of candidates for the Republican nomination for the run for the presidency in 2012, but they are leaving a bad taste in the mouth of decency with their trail of mutual destruction. And this has been true in other days of Democratic Party primaries. We teach Simon-pure civics in our educational system and graduate students to learn how dirty the political process really is.

my, its psychological effect could still be important. People and businesses tend to spend based on how they feel about the economy, and big round numbers can affect feelings just as much as money in the wallet. Its not an insignicant psychological barrier, said Marc Scudillo, managing ofcer at EisnerAmper in New Jersey. People still need to have that vote of condence that investing in U.S. companies is still the right direction to go long-term. On the other hand, popping up to 13,000 could also have a contradictory effect on the Dow. It would almost certainly trigger requirements in some investment rms to sell off some of their stocks, which could briey push the index back down. By some accounts, the market is stalling out under the weight of conicting headlines about the U.S. economy and about Greece, which is trying to secure rescue loans from other European countries so it wont default on debt due next month. Though recent news about jobless claims and housing starts have been incrementally better, theyre still far below where they need to be for a full recovery. Greece and its lenders no sooner hammer out one portion of a debt deal before they nd something else to disagree on.

NEW YORK The Dow edged teasingly close to the 13,000 marker on Friday, a milestone it hasnt reached since before the nancial crisis brought the U.S. economy to its knees. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 45.79 points, or 0.4 percent, to close at 12,949.87, its highest close for the year so far. That followed a 123-point surge the day before, when it also set a closing record for 2012. The rest of the market struggled for direction on what turned out to be a quiet news day as traders prepared for the long Presidents Day weekend. The Standard & Poors 500 rose 3.19 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,361.23, also setting a record close for 2012. The Nasdaq composite, after surging Thursday, fell 8.07 points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,951.78. Greek debt talks idled and a key economic indicator, U.S. consumer prices, came in at about what analysts were expecting. The Dow hasnt closed above 13,000 since May 19, 2008, a time when the Bush administration was still in charge, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch still existed, and unemployment was just 5.4 percent, compared to the current 8.3 percent. Though 13,000 in some ways would be just a number on a board, with no direct bearing on the fundamentals of the econo-
Can the market pick the next president?

By Matthew Craft
NEW YORK The number has been repeated so often by presidential prognosticators that its an article of faith: No president has been re-elected since World War II with an unemployment rate higher than 7.2 percent. But the stock market turns out to be a pretty good predictor, too. The Dow Jones industrial average has soared 62 percent since President Barack Obama took the oath of ofce during some of the darkest days of the Great Recession. The Dow was just below 8,000 then and stands near 13,000 today. If a recent study of stock markets and presidential elections is any guide, Obama can start preparing his second inaugural address. Theres something to this, says Phil
Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors, the $370 billion investment rm. There are plenty of other signs often consulted for their political forecasting power, like whether a team from the National Football Conference or the American Football Conference wins the Super Bowl. This one makes a little more sense: When the economy picks up and unemployment falls, condent investors put money into riskier investments and stocks rise. Voters are likely to reward the sitting president with another four years. The stock market reects trends in the economy, Orlando says. And as any political operative can attest, in a presidential campaign, its the economy you know the rest. The study was backed by the Socionomics Institute, a think tank studying how a shared mood among a
group sways its members actions. Their researchers dug up data on economic output, prices, unemployment and stockmarket performance and matched them to presidential elections. They went all the way back to the rst re-election in 1792, when George Washington beat John Adams and won a second term as the president. The researchers found a solid connection between the stock markets direction in the three years leading up to Election Day and the election results. Gains of 20 percent or more for the Dow nearly assured victories for sitting presidents. Drops of 10 percent or worse got them tossed out. Voters returned Calvin Coolidge to the White House in 1924, just as the Roaring 20s started roaring. They booted Herbert Hoover in 1932 while the stock market suffered through a threeyear plunge.
Demand Media stock soars as 4Q results renew hope

By Bree Fowler
NEW YORK Demand Media Inc.s stock soared by 31 percent Friday after the online content publishers fourthquarter earnings and outlook for this year gave investors hope that it is starting to recover from diminished trafc that had stemmed from changes to Googles Internet search formula. The surge marks the biggest gain in Demand Medias stock since it began trading publicly more than a year ago. After the stock market closed Thursday, Demand Media reported a
loss of $6.4 million, or 8 cents per share, during the nal three months of last year. That compared with a loss of $7.6 million, or 54 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding one-time items, Demand Media said it had earnings of 8 cents per share in the most recent quarter, a penny above what analyst surveyed by FactSet were expecting. Revenue rose 15 percent to $84.4 million from $73.6 million. That also beat estimates of $82.5 million. Investors had been bracing for the possibility of a much weaker performance, given Demand Medias struggles since Google dramatically changed the way it
ranks websites last February. The revisions were designed to weed out lowquality content a description that Google decided applied to some of the rudimentary articles written by thousands of Demand Media freelancers. The content appears on Demand Medias own websites, including eHow.com and Livestrong.com, as well as a long list of other publishers. Since Googles overhaul, traffic to Demand Medias sites has decreased by about 25 percent. That downturn has given the company fewer opportunities to show ads, which generate most of its revenue.

Despite earning the No. 2 seed in the Peninsula Athletic League girls basketball tournament, there wasnt much that separated San Mateo from No. 3 Mills. The winner of their seminal matchup would be which team shot the ball better. The Bearcats did that going away. In a nipand-tuck game for three quarters, San Mateo pulled away from Mills in the fourth to post a 61-45 win and advance to Saturdays championship. The Bearcats will face three-time tournament champion and top seed Terra Nova, which cruised past Menlo-Atherton 73-66 in a game that wasnt as close as the nal score indicated. The championship game is at 6 p.m. Saturday at Sequoia. I think we were a little at in the beginning, said San Mateo coach Nancy Dinges. In the second half, we wanted to win. In the second half, we started to do the little things. Those little things added up to a one-sided fourth quarter that saw the Bearcats out-score the Vikings 20-10 and bury Mills. The key to the nal eight minutes was shooting: San Mateo barely missed while the Vikings rarely hit, which summed up the game. 17 for 54. How can you win a game shooting 17 for 54? asked Mills coach Dave Matsu. For three quarters, we were right there. I thought we played good for three quarters. We got tired in that fourth quarter. Making things worse for the Vikings was the fact their bread and butter the 3-point shot was severely lacking. They connected on just 3 of 27 attempts. Thats how we live and die, Matsu said.

Having already capture the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division regular-season title, the El Camino boys basketball team nds itself one step away from adding an exclamation point on their 2011-2012 run through the PAL. The Colts went on a 21-0 run to start the second half Friday night and rode that to a dominating 68-50 win over Woodside in the seminals of the PAL tournament. The win means El Camino will try to become the rst team not from Burlingame High School to win the post season tournament in ve years. But to do so, theyll have to beat the reigning four-time champion Panthers. Tip-off for that game is 7:45 p.m. Saturday in the Sequoia High School gymnasium. Were a little nervous, said El Camino coach Archie Junio. We are denitely not going to take any team for granted, especially a team like Burlingame. Defense will be the key. If they play anything like they did Friday night against Woodside, itll be hard for any team, reigning-champ or not, to stop the Colts. The Wildcats did their best to stay with El Camino to begin the game. And for the most part, they were successful, mostly because Matt Ennis got off to a smooth start. The forward scored eight points in the rst quarter and 15 in the initial half. The Colts led 15-11 after one period. The second quarter was more of the same through the first couple of minutes. But

As still pursuing Warrriors are no Manny Ramirez match for Thunder

By Janie McCauley
PHOENIX The Oakland Athletics still have strong interest in signing slugger Manny Ramirez, who presents a low-risk investment for the rebuilding franchise. If things come together, the 39-year-old would sign a deal for slightly more than the league minimum of $480,000. He rst must serve a 50-game suspension without pay for violating baseballs drug policy for the second time. With no rainouts, the rst game Ramirez would be eligible to play is June 2 at Kansas City. The sides could reach agreement as soon as the next few days or sometime next week, and Ramirez then likely would travel from Florida to Arizona to undergo a physical before joining Oaklands spring training camp for full-squad workouts starting Feb. 25. Pitchers and catchers report to camp Saturday. Oakland recently sent representatives to Florida to observe workouts by Ramirez, who retired from the Tampa Bay Rays last season rather than serve a 100-game suspension. For
Ramirez, this could become a chance to help repair his reputation and serve as a positive clubhouse inuence on a young team thats sure what the Oakland brass hope, anyway. The As last week agreed Manny Ramirez to terms on a $36 million, four-year contract with highly sought after outelder Yoenis Cespedes, a Cuban defector who has expressed interest in playing with Ramirez. At baseballs winter meetings in December, it was announced that Ramirez had applied for reinstatement. He had his suspension for a second failed drug test cut to 50 because he sat out nearly all of last season. MLB had announced his retirement on April 8, saying he was notied of an issue under the drug program. Ramirez, who will be 40 on May 30, ranks 14th on the career list with 555 home runs. He went 1 for 17 (.059) in ve games last season for Tampa Bay, which had signed him to a one-year deal worth $2.02 million.
Thunder 110, Warriors 87
OKLAHOMA CITY James Harden scored 25 points, Kevin Durant added 23 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder completed a season sweep of the Golden State Warriors with a 110-87 win Friday night. Russell Westbrook scored 18 points for Oklahoma City, but the All-Star point guard left the game with 1:13 left in the third quarter with what the team said was a sprained right ankle. He didnt return. But the Thunder improved to 23-7, the best record in the Western Conference, with their third win over the Warriors in 22 days. David Lee led Golden State with 23 points. Monta Ellis, who scored 48 points the last time the teams played, had 11 in this one. Ellis went down moments after Westbrook, with 17.1 seconds left in the third quarter. The Warriors said Ellis suffered a hyperextended right knee, but could have returned if the game hadnt been so lopsided. Oklahoma City, which shot 52.7 percent from the eld, improved to 6-1 in games played after a loss. The Thunder had lost 96-95 at Houston on Wednesday. A 16-2 rst-quarter run gave the Warriors a 24-
17 lead and Golden State was up 39-36 with 5:28 left in the rst half when the Thunder scored 10 straight points. Oklahoma City had three consecutive dunks during the run rst a one-hander by Durant, followed by an alley-oop from Durant to Harden and capped by a steal and one-handed jam by Westbrook that gave the Thunder a 46-39 lead. Oklahoma City stretched that margin to 58-48 by halftime. Durant and Serge Ibaka opened up the second half with baskets for the Thunder and Golden State never cut the margin below double digits. Back-toback 3-pointers by Royal Ivey and Durant fueled an 8-0 run to end the third quarter and put Oklahoma City up 84-65. During that run, Westbrook steamed down the court after a steal before pulling up in the lane with 1:13 left in the quarter and hobbling off the court. Ellisinjury occurred right in front of the Warriors bench. Dorell Wright, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson each scored 11 points for Golden State, playing the rst game in a stretch during which the Warriors will play eight of nine games on the road.

Panthers beat Mills,will defend PAL title

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The way the Burlingame boys basketball team sees it, if you want to be the champ, youre going to have to beat the champ. The Panthers are back in the Peninsula Athletic League tournament nal after putting on a defensive clinic against Mills in the seminal and riding that to a 42-30 victory. The win means Burlingame (188) will play in the nals of the PAL tournament for the fth consecutive year. Theyve won the last four. The Panthers will take on regular-season Bay Division champ El Camino, which beat Woodside in the other seminal Friday night. The Colts beat the Panthers in both regular-season meetings this season. We want to defend this championship, said Burlingame coach Jeff Dowd. I thought we showed some knock-back tonight. We beat these guys early in the league and they took it to us a week ago. I was proud to see the guys bounce back and play hard, play tougher. I thought we won the majority of the 50-50 balls, and a week ago, they did that to us. In a lot of ways, Fridays win for the Panthers was all about desire and pride with the familiarity Mills and Burlingame share, there was no such thing as throwing any secret punches. As such, the Panthers amped up their defensive pressure and held the Vikings to single-digit points in all four quarters of basketball. For the game, Mills shot 8-of-40 from the oor and 9-of-14 from the charity stripe. We missed some free throws in the rst half, said Mills coach Rick Hanson. That isnt like us. The teams established just what kind of game it would be from the get-go when they shot a combined 4-of-19 from the floor with Burlingame up 7-5 come the end of the rst period. The second quarter is where
Burlingame pulled away and never looked back. Or better yet, the Vikings simply didnt have it in them offensively to catch up for the rest of the game. The period began with Frankie Ferrari knocking down a bucket and then a 3-pointer to increase the lead to seven with 6:40 left in the rst half. Following Ferraris flurry, Mills showed a bit of life and pulled to within four with 3:07 left in the half on a 3-pointer by Nick Martz. No. 22 had six points in the half, but was otherwise caged by the Burlingame defense. The Panthers ended the half on a 9-3 run, capped by a long distance bomb from just inside half court by Ferrari to make it 26-14. Still, it wasnt like Burlingame shined from the oor they were 8-of-26 from the eld in the half. What kept them ahead, and eventually helped them pull away, was their interior defense. Mills had no inside presence whatsoever. For the game, the Panthers out-rebounded the Vikings 39-16. We made a couple of adjustments in there, Dowd said about his interior defense. We went with Chris Graham inside, whos a better trapper, on their big because they run a lot of high-low. The strategy worked exceptionally well for Burlingame, considering that Mills couldnt buy a shot throughout the game. Their highest offensive output was nine points in the second quarter. And from there, they went for eight and eight in periods three and four. The Vikings had their window of opportunity in that third frame, where Burlingame shot 23 percent from the oor. But Mills couldnt capitalize and didnt get any second chance looks at the basket, outrebounded 12-3 in the frame. Were still not clicking on offense, Dowd said. I cant quite gure out why. I thought we spaced it out. We got some great looks and I think in that third quarter, we started settling for 3s inside of getting the ball inside. I think with this team, we really have to look to get it

inside. I know we have some good shooters, but shooting comes and goes. We need to establish some kind of inside presence. All Burlingame needed to do in the fourth quarter was keep Mills at arms length in the fourth quarter. The Panthers led by as many as 14 in the quarter and their biggest lead of the game was 15. Daniel Peterson knocked down a couple of 3-pointers late to make the score tighter and get the Vikings to within seven. But clutch free throw shooting from Ferrari sealed the deal for the Panthers. Ferrari nished with 22 points to lead all scorers. Graham only scored three points, but pulled down 12 rebounds. No other Panther scored more than four points. Mills was led by Petersons nine points; Martz nished with eight and Joseph Worku added ve.

Heavy hit: Chisora slaps Klitschko at weigh-in

MUNICH Standing head-to-head for the customary stare-down, challenger Dereck Chisora slapped WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko during the weigh-in for their title ght Saturday. Both camps had to be pulled apart Friday after the British ghter, his face partially concealed by a Union Jack handkerchief, hit Klitschko across the face with his open right hand and launched a series of insults. Klitschko did not retaliate. I am going to hit back on Saturday, the Ukrainian champion said. He will get his beating. Chisoras blow may have been the closest he gets to hurting the champion. About the only advantage Chisora might have is his age. The WBC champion is 40, while Chisora is 28. But Klitschko has a massive advantage in height and reach and few give Chisora a chance of an upset. Klitschko weighed in at 243 1/2 pounds),
Chisora at 241 pounds. Chisora has bravely predicted he will knock out the Ukrainian in the eighth round and claims he can smell fear in Klitschkos camp. Klitschko has brushed aside such boasts but says he takes the Vitali Klitschko British challenger seriously. Chisora can hit, and I do, too. So I dont see it going 12 rounds, Klitschko said. The Zimbabwe-born Chisora is one of those who say the heavyweight division has become boring because of the dominance of Vitali and his younger brother Wladimir, who holds the other signicant belts. But they remain huge drawing cards in Germany, where their ghts have become heavily choreographed events, with rock shows in the ring, laser lights and champagne flowing. The 12,500 capacity Olympic Hall is sold out. Everybodys tired of you and your broth-
er, Chisora said. Theres no excitement in the ring. Its time for the new king. People want a new relief in boxing. Him and his brother have killed the sport I love. Vitali is the second-oldest boxer to hold a world Dereck Chisora heavyweight title behind George Foreman, who was 45 when he knocked out Michael Moorer to reclaim the WBA belt in Las Vegas in 1994. But the tale of the tape is all in Klitschkos favor: he is 6-foot-7 and has an 80-inch reach; Chisora is 6-2 with a 74-inch reach. Vitalis usually jabs away at his opponents until he can deliver his big right hand. Chisora thinks the style is boring and has dulled the heavyweight division, but it has been effective. Im going to have to prove not just my boxing skills but my age against Dereck, Klitschko said at one of the news conferences
to promote the ght. I am 40 but I feel 25. I am in great condition, great form and have great experience. The main thing in life is experience, in all jobs and also in boxing. I have defended my title against many styles. I dont want to break the record of George Foreman, but 40 isnt old. Ill show that. Chisora hopes his agility and quick hands will allow him to get inside and batter Klitschko. Im looking forward to this ght, Chisora said. And I trained hard. And the way were going to be ghting will be a hundred miles an hour from the rst round to round eight, which I promise you fans that hes going down on. Right now, I can smell fear in this corner right now. If you cant smell it, I can. You know, right here I smell a bit of fear, to the opposite side, because they know theyre about to lose something massive, Chisora said as he pointed at Klitschko earlier this week.
Lin smashing Asian-American stereotypes

By Jesse Washington
WASHINGTON They know what it feels like to be overlooked. People, they say, assume they are weak, servile, out of place. So when these Asian-Americans watch Jeremy Lin slash and shoot his way through the NBAs nest, its almost as if they are on the basketball court with the California-born point guard who has
Jeremy Lin
set the zeitgeist on re. Asian-Americans have rallied around other athletes Michael Chang, Hideo Nomo, Yao Ming, Michelle Wie, Ichiro Suzuki. Tiger Woods was embraced for his Thai side. But Lin has a new and different appeal a home-
grown star besting some of the worlds greatest athletes in an intensely physical sport. AsianAmericans have done well in America in many areas, but not this one. The child of Taiwanese immigrants, Lin was ignored instead of hyped. He emerged from the end of the bench to hoist the sinking New York Knicks to win after improbable win. A few hints of racism have scratched the edges of his growing fame, but Lin continues to put up
unprecedented numbers and capture the imagination of mainstream America. In a mere half-dozen games, Lin became that rarest of Asian-Americans: A widely regarded hero. Theres a certain validation to this, said Phil Yu, founder of the inuential blog Angry Asian Man, which tracks and discusses Asian issues.

Following a Hafoka bucket to open the third, Mills scored the next ve points to take a 29-27 advantage.

For the game, San Mateo shot 52 percent from the eld (26 for 50). An Alana Simon bucket ignited a 14-2 run for San Mateo in the fourth quarter, pushing a nine-point lead to 21, 61-40, with 36 seconds left to play. The girls, they really listened to what we needed to do offensively, Dinges said. If we could rebound, we would win. Done and done. The Bearcats dominated the boards, out-rebounding the Vikings 40-19. They're so big, Matsu said. Just as important was the Bearcats getting contributions from just about everybody. Candace Stephens scored a game-high 20, but Jane Hafoka added 14 to go along with 11 rebounds. Simon, who was busy bringing the ball up against Mills pressure, chipped in with 13. Liane Whipple came off the bench and scored eight. Mills was led by Priscilla Siu, who scored 18. Kristen Lastofka added 10, but was held scoreless in the second half. In the rst half, Mills did a good job of getting the ball down low and scoring a number of points from close range. The Vikings also harassed San Mateo into six turnovers and came up eight steals as well. With the score tied at 9 in the rst quarter, the Vikings closed the quarter with a 6-2 run to hold a 15-11 lead after one period of play. San Mateo tied the game at 15 on a Hafoka putback and a Stephens jumper gave the Bearcats a 19-18 lead, which jump started a 80 run to put them up 25-18 with 1:38 left in the half. Back came the Vikings as Siu scored her teams nal six points to cut the Mills decit to just one, 25-24, at halftime.
Roddick ousted from SAP Open

SAN JOSE Andy Roddicks return from injury lasted all of two matches. Hobbled by a fresh right ankle sprain and a troublesome hamstring that forced his retirement from last months Australian Open, Roddick lost to Uzbekistans Denis Istomin 6-2, 6-4 in the quarternals of the SAP Open on Friday night. Roddick lost every point in his rst service game and never regained his rhythm. He slammed one racket, broke another, sailed a ball into the stands in frustration, argued with the chair umpire and even shouted at his own box during the course of a frustrating match that took only 76 minutes. Earlier Friday, 19-year-old American Ryan Harrison moved closer to his rst ATP Tour singles title with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Bulgarias Dimitar Kutrovsky. Harrison will face defending tournament champion Milos Raonic in the seminals Saturday after the hard-serving Canadian defeated Kevin Anderson 7-5, 7-6 (3). Istomin plays the winner of the Julien Benneteau and Steve Darcis. Already slowed by injuries, Roddick struggled to cover the court against an opponent that found every angle. He dropped the rst four points on his usual stout serve before saving three break points in his second service game. At 3-1 and 30-all, Istomins shot caught the tape, icking past Roddick for a winner that the American simply shook his head at. After Istomin smacked a crosscourt forehand winner for a second break to go ahead 4-1, Roddick dropped his racket. When Roddick netted a ball in the next game, he sent a ball soaring into the black curtain behind the far grandstand, receiving a misconduct warning from chair umpire Steve Ullrich which infuriated Roddick more. Roddick asked the umpire if the warning was for racket abuse. Ullrich told him it was for the ball. Roddick responded, I challenge you on that. The exchange was about the most ght Roddick put up all night. The 29-year-old American also slammed a racket to the ground after hitting another shot into the net at 40-30 and 1-all, yelling out profanity in the process. Roddick regrouped to go ahead 2-1, pumping his st and screaming, Come on! roll. Their condence was high. They were shooting the ball well and everything was working for them. If they get rolling like that, theyre tough to stop. I mean, I thought we had some good looks; they just didnt go down. El Camino nished the period up 54-27. The defensive energy denitely picked up, Junio said. We came out with a lot of intensity in the third quarter. It was much better than the rst half. Ennis scored the rst ve points in the fourth quarter, but Whites subsequent 3pointer made sure the Wildcats didnt get any ideas of a grandiose and magical comeback. Woodside did score 23 of their 50 points in the fourth quarter. Ennis nished with 29 points, which ties him for the ninth-best, single-game performance in tournament history. Our Big-3 was ready to go, Junio said of White, Smith and Anthony Knight, who have carried El Camino through their successful 2012 campaign. But our player, Jalen Bitanga, he had a great second half. Even though he wasnt scoring the points, he was doing a great job of setting up our offense from the post. White scored 24 points to lead El Camino. Smith went a perfect 4-of-4 from the eld in the second half and nished with 17 points. The third leg of the Colts tripod, Knight, scored four points. El Camino has never won the PAL tournament Saturdays game will mark their rstever trip to the nal. Prior to Friday nights win, the Colts had lost twice in the seminals of the PAL tournament, most recently in 2010 and before in 2003 when they fell to Woodside. Burlingame is 4-2 all time in PAL tournament nals. The last time the Panthers lost one was in 2005 to Woodside.
Terra Nova 73, Menlo-Atherton 66

The Bears out-scored the Tigers 26-17 in the fourth quarter, including the nal 13 points of the game, but all that did was make the nal score more respectable as Terra Nova led by as many as 20 points in the fourth quarter. The win sends the Tigers into the PAL tournament title game for the fourth year in a row as they go for their fourth straight PAL tournament championship. Terra Novas Terilynn Moe led a quartet of Tigers who scored in double gures as she had a game-high 26 14 in the second half. Jayzyl Tauala added 15 while Ivonne Cook Taylor and Lynette Mackey each had 13 apiece. Menlo-Atherton was paced by Tennyson Jellins 21. Sierra Sheeper added 13 for the Bears. Scoring 66 points would usually be a recipe for success for the Bears, but they just could not slow down the Tigers until the game was well in hand. After Jellins hit 1 of 2 free throw to close M-As decit to 9-7 in the rst quarter, Terra Nova responded with a 9-0 run to take control of the game. The Tigers led 18-10 after one quarter of play and 39-25 at halftime. The Bears managed to hang with the Tigers in the third quarter, but they could not make up any ground and trailed by 17, 57-40, going into the nal quarter. M-A tried to make a run in the fourth, but every time the Bears would get in striking distance, Terra Nova would push its lead back to 20.
COLTS
Woodside guard Raul Rodriguez got into foul trouble midway through the quarter. Rodriguez had done a decent job defending the Bay Divisions Most Valuable Player, El Caminos Elijah White. But with him on the bench, White took over. With the score 23-21, the Colts went on a 80 run to end the half, giving them a 10-point advantage at the break. It was a sign of catastrophic things to come for Woodside. Its tough coming back from double digits, said Woodside coach Phillip White. And with the way they play, they keep you so far away from the basket and again, I thought we got some good looks, (we) just didnt knock them down. I think we werent aggressive enough and didnt get to the foul line. Even up 10 at the break, Junio wasnt satised. The El Camino coach said he preached defensive intensity in the locker room at halftime. And his players answered with vengeance. The Colts left absolutely no doubt in the third quarter. After shooting a terric 50 percent from the oor in the rst half, El Camino followed that up by going 10-of-14 from the oor for an insane 71 percent in the third period. Not only that, but they completely shut down Ennis and the Woodside offense. Michael Smith got hot for El Camino and White was just too quick off the dribble. The Wildcats nally scored a basket with 1:05 left in the quarter. But by that time, the Colts were up 52-21. We just didnt score, White said of the disastrous third period. And they got on a

Sharksroad slump continues in Carolina

Hurricanes 3, Sharks 2
who fell to 1-2-1 midway through their ninegame road swing and have lost ve of seven overall. I thought we lacked a lot of energy and jump and determination in the rst two periods, San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. We didnt win a lot of races to pucks. We didnt establish body position around them. They were bigger and stronger than we were, quite frankly, and all of a sudden in the third period, we found it. ... That desperation has to be there earlier. Justin Peters made 35 saves in his rst start since Jan. 7 and third of the season. His rst victory came in a battle of the backups against Thomas Greiss, who stopped 22 shots in place of Antii Niemi. Everyones buying in to the system, and it shows when youre buying in to something and you get results, Peters said. A solid dump-in by Jaroslav Spacek started the sequence that led to Jokinens winner. Drayson Bowman cycled the puck out to Jamie McBain at the blue line, and McBain unloaded a blast that Jokinen tipped past Greiss. Usually, we practice it, its ve against ever seen, Yu said. I cant describe how Im feeling. Watching Lins highlights, I got a little bit choked up, honestly. Ren Hsieh had a different reaction as Lin was torching the Lakers: He shouted loud enough to wake the baby in the other room. It was the improbability of it all, he said. Ive never seen it happen ... NBA analyst Tim Legler said on ESPN. A guy that had three different teams look at him and not see what were seeing now? The reason is obvious to Hsieh, who played high school basketball in Houston and now runs a league and foundation promoting AsianAmerican athletics. No one would outwardly say (Lin was passed over) because hes Asian, but every Asian-American athlete knows that feeling of being overlooked, he said. I certainly felt it when I was playing. You get a look in peoples eyes, they just dont get excited to see you. They dont say, Oh man, I gotta have this kid on my team.
RALEIGH, N.C. Jussi Jokinen and the Carolina Hurricanes seem to be rolling at the right time. They just hope its not too late to make a few moves in the standings rst, out of last place, and then, back into the playoff discussion. Carolina beat the San Jose Sharks 3-2 on Friday night when Jokinen scored on a deection with 8:05 left. Jeff Skinner and Justin Faulk scored 3:03 apart in the rst period for the Hurricanes, who let a two-goal lead slip away before regrouping to beat the Pacic Division leaders. The Southeast Divisions cellar-dwellers won their second straight and earned points in their sixth consecutive game. This win opened a stretch of seven of eight games at home, and theyre 10-3-1 in their last 14 on home ice. We need to nd a way to win close to all games in this home stretch, Jokinen said. Its a great start, but we cant think too far ahead. Dan Boyle and Brent Burns scored in a 2:26 span early in the third to tie it for the Sharks,
zero, Jokinen said, smiling. This time it was ve other guys to try to defend that play. Its a tough play, but we were able to get it done and get a big two points. The Sharks trailed 2-0 after two periods but tied it fewer than 4 minutes into the third after they received goals from a pair of defensemen. Boyle struck 1:26 into the third when he snapped the puck past Peters from the back edge of the circles. Burns made it 2-all with 16:08 to play when he took a feed from Dominic Moore and beat the Carolina backup. Peters stopped the last 13 shots he faced, including a sprawling save with some help from defenseman Bryan Allen on Patrick Marleaus point-blank attempt with about 1:20 left. I dont think we played all that well the rst two periods, but we had a lot of chances, Boyle said. A lot of 2-on-1s, grade-A chances. Just didnt bury it when we got our chance. ... We were all over them in the third, and unfortunately gave up the one goal. Had tons of chances in the third to get the next one, and we didnt do it. Greiss was in goal one night after McLellan ripped starter Niemi, saying he wasnt any good in a 6-5 overtime loss at Tampa Bay, and Greiss solid play gave the Sharks coaching Every Asian-American athlete has always had to really bust their butt to get a chance to play at a high level. Hsieh remembers the skepticism when the China-born Yao entered the NBA. One commentator, NBA great Charles Barkley, promised to kiss his co-hosts posterior if Yao scored 19 points in a game. Yao went on to score 19 or more points 268 times in his eight-year NBA All-Star career, and Barkley kissed a donkey on national television. Lin was similarly underestimated. He led his high school team to a state championship, but was ignored by every Division I college team except Harvard. He was cut by two NBA teams and could barely get on the oor in practice, until the injury-riddled Knicks handed him the ball almost in desperation. Now Lin owns an NBA record for most points in the rst ve games as a starter since 1976. So when someone labels Lin deceptively athletic even though he has a typical point-
staff something to think about. Well have to sit down and determine who starts next, McLellan said. That wont happen tonight. The Sharks didnt arrive until late Friday morning because foggy conditions in Raleigh on Thursday night kept their ight grounded in Florida, and they fell behind early after allowing a pair of goals. Skinner put the Hurricanes up 1-0 with 12:29 left in the rst with a uky goal. His shot along the end line clipped the back of Greiss skate and went in for the reigning rookie of the years 16th goal and fourth in 12 games since returning from a concussion. Then, Faulk their latest Calder Trophy candidate made it a two-goal game just over 3 minutes later on the power play. The rookie defenseman took a pretty backdoor feed from Jiri Tlusty and buried it into an open net. NOTES: Tlusty has points in six straight games, while Carolina C Eric Staal has points in four in a row. ... Moore made his debut with San Jose, one day after he was acquired in a trade with the Lightning. ... The Sharks scratched D Douglas Murray, who was hit in the throat with a puck in the Tampa Bay game. ... Carolina skated without RW Chad LaRose (upper body). guard build, or when his teammate Tyson Chandler says, perhaps jokingly, that he didnt know the 6-foot-3 (1.91-meter) Lin could dunk, some see stereotypes afoot. That was a point made by Knicks superfan Spike Lee. Brainstorming a slew of Lin nicknames, he gleefully tweeted, Jeremy Stop Asian Prole Lin. The word athlete is really not associated with people of Asian descent, said Helen Zia, author of Asian American Dreams: The Emergence of an American People. Zia said Asians were rst viewed in America as coolies, laboring on railroads, laundry or in restaurants. Then they were a stealthy and diabolical wartime enemy, then rivals stealing American jobs with cheap labor. Today the labor stereotype has transferred to another arena, with Asians viewed as math-and-science robots toiling over books and computer screens. Zia calls Lins rise in a game as athletic as basketball stunning and a real turning point.
LIN
Asian-Americans are still seen as foreigners in this country, Yu said. Seeing Jeremy Lin accepted and celebrated in this American sport, it makes us more American, and it makes other people see us as more American. The moment that resonates most with Yu is not Lins game-winning 3-pointer against the Toronto Raptors with less than a second to play this week. Its not Lins 38 points to beat the Los Angeles Lakers after Kobe Bryant said he didnt know who Lin was. Its not Lins crossover leading to a soaring dunk against the Washington Wizards, even though the play victimized John Wall, the top draft pick the year Lin went unselected. Instead, Yu cherishes seeing a picture of two white fans wearing Lins No. 17 Knicks jersey. There is no comparison to anything else Ive

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. NASCAR conscated part of Jimmie Johnsons Daytona 500 car Friday because of illegal modications, a rocky start to Speedweeks for the vetime Sprint Cup Series champion. NASCAR ofcials determined the No. 48 Chevrolet had illegally modied C-posts, an area of sheet metal between the roof and the side windows. Ofcials cut off the C-posts and planned to ship them to NASCARs research and development center in Concord, N.C., for further testing. NASCAR allowed the Hendrick Motorsports team to x that area of the car before practice begins for the Feb. 26 Daytona 500. Qualifying is scheduled for Sunday. Well, its a hell of a way to start the 2012 season, said Ken Howes, vice president of competition at Hendrick

Motorsports. But the car obviously failed inspection and NASCAR has directed us how they want it xed and were busy doing that. Were waiting on some Jimmie parts to arrive and Johnson well put it back together and run it through inspection again. The No. 48 team and crew chief Chad Knaus could be penalized following the series premier event. When we get back to North Carolina after the Daytona 500, we will address any further actions that may come out as a result of this, NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said. Howes said modifying C-posts would provide an aerodynamic advantage.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Were dumb, but were not stupid, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told reporters after he voted. We did not want to repeat the debacle of last December. Its not that complicated. McCain voted no, in part because the measure gives television broadcasting companies $1.75 billion in exchange for freeing communications spectrum for auctions to wireless companies. Democrats took advantage of the GOPs loss of leverage in this months House-Senate talks, forcing Republican negotiators to drop numerous House GOP provisions, including an effort to block new EPA rules on industrial boilers, a pay freeze on federal workers and an attempt to deny illegal immigrants a refundable child tax credit taken by low-income workers. The top GOP negotiator, Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., said the nal deal was the best Republicans could get given the balance of power in Washington. Democrats still control Washington they control the Senate, and they control the White House, Camp said. A divided government must still govern. Camp cited stricter job search requirements for people receiving unemployment benets and other reforms to the program as wins for conservatives. In another GOP victory, coverage for the long-term unemployed would be cut from the current maximum of 99 weeks to a ceiling of 73 weeks by this fall in states with the worst job markets, with most topping out at 63 weeks. But Democrats extracted a concession so that states with the worst jobless rates would actually fare better in the next few months than they otherwise would have. conservative Heritage Foundation. However, two years of benets was excessive when passed, and a year-and-a-half of benets in an improving labor market is still excessive. The program was already starting to wind down, anyway. Under the current formula, the maximum coverage period would have fallen to 79 weeks in October. The job market has been steadily improving, and fewer people are ling for the benets. On Thursday, the Labor Department reported that the number of people seeking unemployment benets last week was the lowest its been in four years. But Heidi Shierholz, a labor economist with the liberal Economic Policy Institute, said its still too soon to cut back on benets. Even if we continue growing at the current rate, given the depths of the job decit that were in, were not going to be at a place by May where job opportunities are plentiful, she said. Layoffs are back to pre-recession levels, but hiring is still extremely slow. The new law will allow states to make benet applicants take drug tests if they lost their job because they failed a drug test or are applying for a job that requires one. Republicans dropped an effort to let states require all applicants to take a drug test, or require applicants without a high school diplomas to pursue a GED certicate.
Around the nation

Xi wraps up highly scripted visit to U.S. capital
WASHINGTON For Americans looking at the U.S. visit of Chinas likely future leader for a clue about where relations between the two nations might be headed, the signal has been clear: No change in substance, but perhaps a change in style. Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping toed the line set by the man he is to sucXi Jinping ceed as Communist Party chief in the fall, Hu Jintao, who made a grand U.S. state visit a year ago. Xi, who is expected to become president in 2013, made clear that China wants a deeper relationship with the United States and even welcomes its engagement in the Asia-Pacic, as long as it respects Chinas interests and concerns in its own neighborhood. It was a scripted trip without surprises, said Jeff Bader, East Asia policy director during the rst two years of the Obama administration. He obviously wasnt here to make policy, or make decisions or alter positions on issues. He is not the No. 1 yet and he doesnt want to prejudice his chances of being No. 1. But while Xi, 58, has said little new and did little to narrow the gaping differences that exist between the U.S. and China on issues such as human rights he made a conscious effort to appear less remote than the stiff and aloof Hu.
TAX
about $300 a week for the long-term unemployed, though the aid will be cut off sooner than before for many recipients. Both provisions, which were to expire in less than two weeks, had been extended only two months during a December congressional ght that seared Republicans. They were determined to avoid a repeat in campaign season. The hard-fought but ultimately bipartisan measure contains the core of Obamas jobs agenda and promises to pump more than $100 billion into the economy before Election Day. It hands the president a political victory as well, as Republicans called a tactical retreat in hopes of minimizing the gains for Obama and his Democratic allies on Capitol Hill. The Senate approved the measure on a bipartisan 60-36 vote minutes after the House passed it on a sweeping 293-132 vote. Obama is expected to sign it shortly after returning from a West Coast fundraising swing. The hope is that the dual measures will inject consumer demand and support a fragile recovery from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. The legislation would also protect doctors treating Medicare patients from a steep cut in their reimbursements under an outdated funding formula, a reduction that threatened to make it harder for seniors to nd physicians. The tax cuts, jobless coverage and higher doctors payments will all continue through the
end of the year. Many Republicans opposed some or all of the legislation but were eager to wipe the issue from the election-year agenda. The measure would pack $141 billion onto the federal decit over 2012-2013 and slowly recoup more than $50 billion of that over the coming decade. It may also be the last major bipartisan legislation to make it through a bitterly divided Congress before Election Day. A pile of unnished business including expiring tax cuts, Pentagon budget disputes and another hike in the nations borrowing cap awaits after the election in what promises to be a brutal lame duck session that Capitol Hill veterans are already dreading. It is amazing what happens when Congress focuses on doing the right thing instead of just playing politics, Obama said at an appearance at a Boeing factory in Everett, Wash. This was a good example, and Congress should take pride in it. In fact, politics has been woven into the struggle over the legislation, which, along with the divisive GOP primary campaign and improving economic news, has coincided with a lift in Obamas poll numbers. Fridays votes also cleared away a political headache for House Republicans, still smarting from the battle in late December in which they blocked a two-month extension of the tax cut and jobless coverage, only to retreat after being portrayed as standing in the way of a tax cut for every American who earns a paycheck. Since then, Republicans have made it clear they didnt want a repeat of the December disaster. million unemployed have been without work for more than six months, double the rate of any other economic downturn since the Great Depression. If Congress had not reached a deal to reauthorize the program, about a million people would have lost benets next month. Its far from perfect, but it seems to be a responsible approach to the current problem of long-term unemployment, said George Wentworth, an attorney with the National Employment Law Project, a worker advocacy group that supports long-term benets. It was not immediately clear how many people might lose out on benets later this year under the new plan. Currently, 22 states are eligible for 93-plus weeks of unemployment insurance; just 18 get the full maximum of 99 weeks. The average unemployed worker receives less than $300 a week in benets. Wentworth said the gradual decrease would help cushion the blow for those relying on the benets. The plan would extend the current 99-week maximum through May for states with the highest unemployment rates. Benets would drop to 79 weeks in June and to 73 weeks in September. Unless Congress extends the federal benets again, people losing their jobs after July 1 will get benets for only 26 weeks. This agreement is a step in the right direction, said James Sherk, a policy analyst at the
New York Times correspondent Shadid dies in Syria

NEW YORK New York Times correspondent Anthony Shadid, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner whose dispatches captured untold stories from Baghdad under shock and awe bombing to Libya wracked by civil war, has died of an apparent asthma attack in Syria while reporting on the uprising Anthony against its president. Shadid, who survived a Shadid gunshot wound in the West Bank in 2002 and was captured for six days in Libya last year, was returning with smugglers from Syria to Turkey when he collapsed Thursday, the Times said. Times photographer Tyler Hicks told the newspaper that Shadid, who was 43, had suffered one bout of asthma the rst night, followed by a more severe attack a week later on the way out of the country.
DEAL
approved at the height of the recession. The bill reduces the current maximum 99 weeks of benets to 73 weeks by September. For those in all but about a dozen of the highest unemployment states, benets will be cut off after 63 weeks. The benets are for people out of work more than six months. The program has provided checks to about 18 million out-of-work Americans who exhausted the 26 weeks of state jobless benets. Democrats had hoped to keep the maximum number as close as possible to 99 weeks, arguing that the benets are critical for those struggling to make ends meet and provide a boost to the economy. Republicans wanted to reduce the maximum time span for benets to 59 weeks, saying too many people dont seriously look for a job until the government checks quit coming. The bill lets both parties claim victory: Democrats can say they preserved the unemployment program for another year, while Republicans may claim they won major concessions by scaling back the program. About 43 percent of the nations nearly 13

he question Why Harvard? has, in the past month, become a bit of a joke amongst many of my friends. For many seniors preparing for college interviews, coming up with a response to the Why this university? question is a daunting task. Whenever I mention the Why Harvard? question, I usually receive a sardonic knee-jerk response akin to well duh Its Harvard. Its number one. At the top of the U.S. News & World Reports college ranking list, Harvard is undeniably one of the most desired colleges with one of the lowest admission rates. Recently, however, the entire system of college rankings has been called into question. Late January, a story was reported that an administrator at Claremont McKenna, a highly respected liberal arts college in Southern California, had inated the schools SAT scores in an attempt to raise the schools rankings in various college lists. On the U.S. News & World Report list, Claremont McKenna was listed as the ninth best liberal arts college in the nation. As the merits of Claremont McKenna were questioned, many started to discuss the manipulation of college rankings in general. On College Condential, a forum for students to share advice on college, there have been discussions of Tufts syndrome, the supposed denying of qualied applicants as a form of yield protection. The New York Times also reported several colleges which had misreported varying statistics which are accounted in calculating ranking. Thus, the question of the importance of college rankings has been oated amongst anxious students, teachers, parents and counselors. Without a doubt, ranking matters. There is certainly a reason why graduate of Harvard University is a desirable qualication on a resume. But has the process of choosing a desired college been oversimplied by the craze over rankings? For example, whenever I am asked if I am applying to the HYPS schools (Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford), I am slightly taken aback. Each of the schools, while traditionally considered as the top ranking schools in the nation, are dramatically different. Harvard is situated right on the outskirts of the commercial hub Boston; Yale is in the midst of a smaller city, New Haven, Conn.; Princeton is situated in a much smaller town in New Jersey and Stanford is on the com-

TREES IN JEWISH THOUGHT. Do Not Destroy: Trees, Art and Jewish Thought, at San Franciscos Contemporary Jewish Museum, explores the role of the tree in Jewish tradition through the lens of contemporary artists who were invited to create works in response to themes inspired by Tu BShevat, the Jewish New Year for the Trees. The title of the exhibition, Do Not Destroy (Bal Tashchit in Hebrew), is taken from a commandment in the Torah (Deuteronomy 20:19) that forbids the wanton destruction of trees during wartime. This concept has been broadened to encompass humanitys responsibility to shield all of nature from unnecessary harm. Curator Dara Solomon said, While we were inspired to create this exhibition by the particular signicance of trees in Judaism, especially now as global environmental concerns have begun to impact contemporary Jewish practice, the tree is a universally potent symbol in many cultures and religions. Taken together, these exhibitions are an opportunity for everyone to commune with trees through video, photography, sculpture and painting to be awed by their scale, their longevity and their ability to encourage deeper thinking about history, the environment and our place in it. We invite the public to consider the ancient dictum of Do Not Destroy, a commandment to not only protect trees but to dream of a better world. One of the artists whose work was selected for inclusion is Harriete Estel Berman of San Mateo. Berman focused on recycling and the Jewish tradition of Tikkum Olam (meaning to repair the world) and created a Seder plate entitled Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Assiyah, Yetzirah, Beriyah. Berman said, Made entirely from post con-

All tours start at 10 a.m. A Directors Tour typically lasts about four-and-ahalf hours, covers approximately three miles, and visits more than 25 sculptures, including an architectural installation, Estaciones des Luz (Stations of Light) by Seattle artist Mark Reeves. The tours also include the Artists Barn the primary studio space for the performing and visual artists and in-depth conversation and personal insights into the artworks. The Two-Mile Tours are about two-and-a-half hours in length and include approximately 20 sculptures. Both tours are strenuous as the trails consist of both steep uphill and downhill hiking, totaling approximately 300 feet changes in elevation. Registered guests will receive additional instructions and a map to the property in advance of their tour.

Beginners guide to Rio

Rio Carnival: Bigger, brighter

By Juliana Barbassa
RIO DE JANEIRO Showered in confetti and anked by sequined samba queens, Rios mayor symbolically relinquished control of the city to its rotund Carnival king on Friday to kick off the ve-day festivities, a time of joyous excess when the streets ll with roving percussion bands and throngs of dancing, drinking revelers. The city is primed for the madness, with a hot tropical sun shining through a clear blue sky onto the backs of hundreds of thousands of partygoers whove taken over the streets, joining one of the traditional bloco parties that march behind a band playing old samba tunes. I am giving over a city at the height of its rebirth, said Mayor Eduardo Paes, handing the key to the city to Milton Junior, who is serving this year as King Momo, the mythical jester who reigns over the extravaganza. Rios star is rising of late, as the city prepares to host the nal matches of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics, and this years Carnival is forecast to be an even bigger blowout than usual, with 20 percent more tourists expected than in 2011. Rio ofcials say theyre also better prepared to keep the chaos under some semblance of control, with more portable toilets, trafc guards and paramedics, as well as a new central command center monitoring it all. Its a matter of organization and comfort; were thinking of the partiers, but also of the residents, said the president of Rios tourism department, Antonio Figueira de Mello, adding that the city will welcome 3 million visitors this summer, about 850,000 of them during the raucous free-for-all. The celebration has proved immune to the crisis devastating economies in Europe and the U.S., said Mello. There is no crisis that can take down Carnival. The festivities also signal a return to normality for Rio and Salvador, the capital of the northeastern state of Bahia, after police strikes raised fears that the parties might be ruined by rampant crime. In Salvador, which hosts Brazils second-largest Carnival and arguably its wildest, the strike led to a spike in murders earlier this month. Rios short-lived work stoppage was peaceful, and ended last week with minimal disruption. As of Friday afternoon, neither city reported any serious problems as the parties began. In Rio, merrymakers are expected to spend $640 million and generate 250,000 jobs, most temporary and in the tourism and services industries, during

Revelers attend the annual block party known as the Carmelitas,one of the many carnival parties to take place in neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro,Brazil.
Carnival alone, according to the citys economic development department. But the worlds biggest party traditionally leaves a hangover to match: last year, the romp left about 850 tons of trash strewn around town. Rio officials have dispatched 80 mobile medical emergency units, 1,000 trafc guards and 15,000 toilets around the city, and ofcials are running a campaign against urinating in public. Rio residents are humming along with a catchy samba tune running on TV, telling partiers, If you want to pee, dont do it here, dont do it here, which rhymes in Portuguese. It wasnt yet clear if the citys organizing effort was paying off, at least for Fernando de Souza Maciel, a shirtless college student sweating into a pink tutu and ribboned ballet slippers who stopped to get a juice with friends between street parties in the Botafogo neighborhood. I cant say I havent taken advantage of a street corner to nd some relief after that third beer, he said, referring to past Carnivals. But I promise Ill look for a toilet this year. His two girlfriends sent up a cheer for Paes Go mayor! when asked about this years plentiful toilets. It makes all the difference, said Mayara Marconi, whose buttery wings were a little off-kilter from the jostle of the crowd. Its a ne line between having fun and desperation, that moment where youd trade your kingdom for a toilet. For tech-savvy revelers, Rio launched a smartphone app, free for iPhones and Androids, that tells visitors in English, Spanish or Portuguese where to go for blocos, the mobile samba bands that draw millions, pied-piper style, through the streets, as well as basic information on public transit, eateries and museums.
RIO DE JANEIRO Brazil is not for beginners, the late, great Brazilian composer Tom Jobim once quipped. Nowhere does the remark hold more true than for the countrys pulsing, chaotic oceanfront metropolis, Rio de Janeiro. This is a city of contrasts, where vastly different worlds rub shoulders, and the unexpected lies lurking around every corner. Hang a right during an aimless stroll through the chic beachside neighborhoods of Ipanema or Copacabana and you might just bump into a lush tropical forest. Hang a left, and the luxury condominiums could give way to a warren of brick and corrugated iron houses perched precariously on a rocky outcropping a favela, or hillside slum. Its this proximity between rich and poor, city and nature that gives Rio its intensity. But it also makes navigation a challenge for rst-time visitors. Its even more difcult during Carnival season, when city streets morph into rowdy block parties with tens of thousands of costumed revelers dancing to infectious samba beats. Luckily, Rio is dotted with landmarks that allow you to easily nd your bearings. Sugarloaf Hill, the awesome rocky outcropping that can be visited by aerial cable car, presides over Guanabara Bay in the east. The monumental statue Christ the Redeemer reaches toward the sea from his perch inside the dense Tijuca Forest in the heart of the city. A 5-mile (8 kilometer) stretch of white sand marks Rios southern edge, home to the legendary Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon beaches. Here, the beach is a way of life, and these iconic stretches of sand are the stage upon which Rio natives known as Cariocas play out their lives. Weekends draw huge crowds from across the class spectrum to swim, surf, sun, jog, picnic, gossip, frolic, irt, stretch and strut. During the Southern Hemisphere summer, January to March, the throngs are often so thick that towel-size real estate can be hard to come by. But persevere. Between the tall, tan young and lovely girls from Ipanema, their muscle-bound, tattoo-covered male counterparts, the ocks of screaming children and steady stream of vendors, hawking everything from sunscreen to frozen slush made from Amazon berries, the action is not to be missed. Theft has long been on a problem on the beach, but the governments recent takeover of some nearby slums which pushed the drug lords who reigned there out has improved security throughout the city, including the seaside. Still, its best to leave all valuables cell phone, camera, watch at home and avoid drawing attention to yourself by dressing like the locals. Rest assured, while they dont cover much up, Brazilian sunga or Speedo-style suits for men and o dental string bikinis for women have a magical way of bringing out everyones best assets, whatever your body type. No trip to the beach is complete without a stroll down Avenida Visconde de Piraja, Ipanemas main drag a sort of relaxed Fifth Avenue, where the dress code consists of bikinis, sarongs and ip-ops. Homegrown clothing lines abound, churning out pretty but pricey sundresses, short-shorts, pantsuits for the daring and, naturally, bikinis. Top Brazilian beachwear houses include Lenny, Salinas and Osklen. If you havent gotten your ll of snacks on the beach, head to Bibi Sucos, which serves up a dizzying array of freshly squeezed exotic juices jabuticaba, anyone? and, with Brazils dizzily spiraling prices, is among Rios few remaining inexpensive pleasures. A more sophisticated meal can be had at Market, also on Visconde de Piraja, which serves up tasty, healthy alternatives to the comida por quilo self-service buffets that offer up meat in all its imaginable incarnations, paid by the weight. If youre a Brazilian at heart, with a well-developed carnivorous instinct, no trip to Rio is complete without a visit to a rodizio, a xed price restaurant where an endless variety of meats, from let mignon to chicken hearts, are served off the spit by a parade of waiters. Porcao, which has three Rio locations including one in Ipanema, is a rodizio of epic proportions. To work off the meat overdose, a hike will doubtless be in order, and Rio offers several excellent options. The worlds largest urban forest, Tijuca is home to a host of monkeys, parrots and cute raccoon-like creatures called coatis (cuatis in Portuguese) as well as the Christ statue, perched atop a verdant, 2,300-foot (701-meter) peak. You could take the bondinho, or little street car, that winds its way to the top. But if you really want to burn off those extra calories, a better option is a hike to the top of the Tijuca Peak, which is a full 1,000 feet (300 meters) higher and offers unparalleled panoramic views over the city. Take a cab to Alta Boa Vista, where the trail to the top begins. Get an early start, because the park closes at sundown, and the hike can take up to six hours round trip.

entire lm, in which the two suitors skulk around her apartment, trying to avoid her (and each other) as they hide their surveillance equipment and hunt for intel on her likes and dislikes. Witherspoon stars as the plucky Lauren Scott, a top product tester for a consumer magazine. Still reeling from a breakup, she reluctantly nds herself in the online dating scene. There she nds Hardys character, the sweet and sensitive Tuck, who claims hes a travel agent. Hes still hurting from a breakup with his wife, with whom he has a young son. Lauren and Tucks rst date couldnt go better, but on the way home she stops by a freakishly well-stocked video store (one of the more outrageous fantasy elements in This Means War) where wouldnt you know it? she meets and trades snappy banter with Pines character, a womanizer who goes by the initials FDR. Instantly smitten by this smart, fetching creature, FDR goads her into going on a date with him, which ends up going surprisingly well, too. From there, the lm works itself up into a frenzy of back-and-forth sabotage to the tune of the Beastie Boys Sabotage, which provides some energy and is good for a laugh at rst but ultimately reinforces the music-video aesthetic. McG reliably keeps the action humming at a nearly nonstop pace, though. All in all, its a sufcient and not entirely insufferable distraction. Meanwhile, Chelsea Handler pops in from time to time as Laurens wisecracking, married best friend living vicariously through her dating adventures. Merely the idea that these two women would have a conversation with each other is even more implausible than the lms outsized stunts, and Handler is coasting on her brash, boozy TV persona, but a couple of her zingers do hit their targets.

They promise their shared pursuit wont ruin their friendship, but good luck with all that. Screwball and high-tech, This Means War aims to provide laughs and thrills at the same time, and only intermittently achieves its goals. Still, the sight of Pine and Hardy one-upping each other for Witherspoons affections through ridiculously elaborate dates and outright stalking (with the help of government resources) has its amusing moments. It also sets up the singular great shot in the

playing an essentially unlikable character: a prim, scheming know-it-all who will do whatever it takes to be voted president of her high schools student government. Adorable and annoying at once, she always seems to be trying too hard to please. But Witherspoon nds the loneliness and vulnerability in Tracy, and makes us ultimately sympathize with her.
him. This isnt a knock on Phoenix, whos extraordinary in capturing the energy and essence of a towering American cultural gure. Witherspoon, though, just takes over the entire screen, and when shes gone, you want her to come back. This was the rst truly grown-up, womanly role shed played at this point, and she got to be not just an engaging on-stage performer (she also sang and played the harpsichord) but also a wife, mother, caretaker and no-nonsense family backbone. Oh, and the performance earned her the Academy Award for best actress.
sistible here in the classic ditzy-blonde mode, a perfectly coifed, pink-clad force of nature, and her charm and conviction make the shout-of-water antics work. As the saying goes, you have to be pretty smart to play dumb. In that regard, Witherspoon proved she must be brilliant. (Everyone involved should have quit while they were ahead, though, and said no to Legally Blonde 2: Red White & Blonde.)
Pleasantville (1998):
In a large and esteemed ensemble cast that features Tobey Maguire, William H. Macy and Joan Allen, Witherspoon just shines. She uses her comic timing to great effect here as a sassy and subversive teenager who gets unwittingly sucked into the television set with her twin brother (Maguire) and nds herself in the idyllic, ctional 1950s town of Pleasantville. Gary Ross high-concept directorial debut nds its characters transforming and literally becoming more colorful, more complicated, and a lot of that has to do with Witherspoons characters inability to keep her mouth shut. Everyones better for it especially the audience. members have the same weighting as one full-time faculty member, I wonder how such seemingly arbitrary calculation methods were come up with. When I consider what kind of person I am, I wonder whether a colleges ranking matters more than my own happiness.

Freeway (1996):
Witherspoon did some of her most challenging work in her youth, and this darkly funny, twisted take on the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale is a prime example. She stars as Vanessa, a trashy teenager who ends up hitching a ride with a youth counselor named Bob (Kiefer Sutherland) in hopes of nding her grandmother. She opens up to him but eventually realizes hes a serial killer. Highspirited and foul-mouthed, she ultimately With actual changing seasons? With this latest news about Claremont McKenna, I can only wonder about the real impact of the ranking number assigned to a school. When the criteria used to calculate college ranking include alumni donation rates and acceptance rates, I start to wonder how large the difference in quality of education between the 12th ranked college and the 28th ranked college is. When I see the U.S. News & World Report considers, for calculation purposes, that three part-time faculty
Walk the Line (2005):

In theory this is Joaquin Phoenixs movie, because hes the one playing Johnny Cash. Then along comes Witherspoon as Cashs lifelong love, June Carter, and she pretty much steals the movie right out from underneath
Legally Blonde (2001):

As a perky blonde sorority girl myself, I initially mistook this for a documentary. Thats how convincing Witherspoon is as the ebullient Elle Woods, a pampered campus princess who nds her true voice in the unlikeliest of places: Harvard Law School. She is just irreshould be the main deciding factor for college applicants. When choosing the colleges I applied to, I admit that rankings did play some role. But when approached by the Why this college? question, I realized how arbitrary rankings were in the greater scope of my life. I started to ask myself: Do I want to live in a suburb or a large city? Do I want to go far away or stay close to home? Do I want to go to a school with strong sports programs? With a large Greek life scene?

quite as much attention when they dont involve an elected ofcial. On any given day, Project Ninety has about 150 clients although the down economy is making it harder to accommodate the growing need, Stansberry said. While for a long time the programs members tried to hide their problems from the surrounding community, Stansberry said now they are more willing to share their incredibly personal struggles and accomplishments as a way to encourage others. Harvin is an example of how the peer-to-peer program works and turns recipients of help eventually into mentors for newcomers. Those that get help are supposed to give help, Stansberry said. Harvin is also quick to credit a long list of people who helped him onto his new path, starting with the loving parents who kicked him out of their home, Judge Mark Forcum who counseled him through the Bridges program and numerous individuals within Project Ninety. Now in transitional living, with a computer and job, Harvin has no grand designs for the future yet and is still feeling out his new reality. What he doesnt want is a return to the person who Hill rst met. We both had a bad day that day, Hill said. was an innovator. Purple Haze plays not only for the diehard Hendrix fans, but for young audiences as well. The band played for a college audience and got a tremendous response. Woodson believes it was because their musical talent is not something young people listen to every day. Younger people play great songs with all the bells and whistles, but they are not people who can master an instrumental, he said. Purple Haze knows all of the popular Hendrix songs, but they also play the more obscure tunes. Woodsons favorite song to play is Machine Gun, an antiVietnam War song. [Hendrix] changed the whole sound of guitar with just that one song, he said. That one song got me to play guitar, that one song. Purple Haze will be playing with Kevin Russells Cream of Clapton at 8 p.m. at Club Fox in Redwood City, Saturday, Feb. 18. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12.

By all accounts, Harvin wasnt thinking about much back then aside from where to get his next high. The Burlingame High School dropout two months shy of cap and gown because it was inconvenient began drinking and smoking marijuana at 15 and by 16 dabbled in speed. Addiction was his religion, he said, and he began practicing more and more. He did a lot of damage to a lot of people, he said Friday, and among them was Hill whose free-standing garage he chose. Hill, then 54, remembered walking to the garage and being puzzled by a broken window and knocked-over ower pots. He spotted an 18-year-old Harvin inside, rummaging through duffel bags and at one point even yanking at the refrigerator motor. Hill, who has a black belt in karate earned in 1978, subdued Harvin, putting him in a hold and keeping him down until San Mateo police arrived. The next day, Hill woke up, ran a marathon in San Francisco and became the subject of news stories chronicling his martial arts skills. Harvin woke up in county jail, indifferent by what he had
done and where he was, and publicly was little more than a footnote in Hills story. The next six years were a series of attempts to get clean, relapses, breakins, crashes, incarceration. The classic life and times of a drug addict, said Harvin who compared himself to a walking dead person. His rst trip through Project Ninety ended with being kicked out. Ultimately, homeless and broke, Harvin tried again and this time the process and similar experiences by other addicts struck a chord. Harvin moved from client to employee, serving as assistant manager for development and marking nearly ve years of sobriety 1,773 days as of Friday, to be exact, he noted, and each of those days he made the choice to be clean. As part of his ongoing rehabilitation, Harvin began cleaning up his wreckage. He knocked on a lot of doors and wrote a lot of letters. Some wanted nothing to do with him. Others, like Hill, welcomed him. Of course, first Hill called James Stansberry, executive director of Project Ninety. I asked, is this real? Hill recalled. Real, it was, and Hill took the opportunity for an emotional face to face with Harvin but also to highlight Project 90 and the success stories who dont get envy of Hendrix, said Woodson. [Clapton] says this himself. He and Jeff Beck never spoke before they heard of Hendrix, he said. [After hearing of Hendrix] they started talking because he was a threat. Woodson said Hendrixs ability to play with sound was before his time. He couldnt just hit a button, said Woodson. Today there is a pedal guitarists use to produce a sound called anging, which is the mixing of two identical signals together, with one signal slightly delayed. When you hear anging on Hendrix, you hear two tape recorders and one is slower than the other, he said. Much of Hendrixs sound can also be credited to sound engineer Eddy Kramer. Hendrix would have an idea for a sound and he would work with Kramer to produce it. He was a master of picking sounds, said Woodson. For his song Crosstown Traffic, Hendrix dubbed himself blowing notes through a trafc cone to create a kazoolike sound. You never heard it before and youll never hear it again, said Woodson. He being convicted in those crimes, Hutchinson was sentenced to prison for six years and eight months and sent back to San Mateo County. Hutchinson was also charged in a jailhouse attack after his arrest on an correctional ofcers providing security for a maintenance worker in his cell. Last April, Hutchinson was committed to a hospital after being found mentally unt but doctors there found him competent and returned him to San Mateo County for prosecution. Hutchinson is eligible for the death penalty if convicted of murder in the commission of another felony, robbery, but prosecutors have yet to announce if they will seek it. If not, he could receive life in prison without the chance of parole. Hutchinsons competency was queson. Its brought us closer together. Preparing for the show is a funny task. Andrew Weber is in good shape due to work. He tried to pick up a bit of Spanish and other languages. Otherwise they watched prior seasons of the show. The guys will be separated for Sundays premiere. Andrew Weber will be in Florida with his new team, the Seattle Sounders. Locally, weve had a number of racers take on the reality show challenge but none have been successful. Amanda Blackledge and Kris Klicka, took on the race twice last year for The Amazing Race: Unnished
HENDRIX
Middle Eastern scales to the end of the song Voodoo Child. I do that after I do all of Jimis stuff, he said. We do try to experiment and take it a little further. Purple Haze completely dresses the part. We do all the tricks, playing behind the head and with the teeth, said Woodson, who fully commits to taking on Hendrixs persona. I laugh all the time [when] Im all dressed up like Jimi, but you have to show people you can do it. Purple Haze will be playing with Kevin Russells Cream of Clapton this weekend in Redwood City. When asked about Hendrix and infamous guitarist Eric Claptons relationship, Woodson said it was not a friendship. When Hendrix showed up on the scene, Clapton was jealous, he said. Clapton bonded with other musicians, including guitarist Jeff Beck, over their
TRIAL
enter a plea in Superior Court and set a trial date. Fridays conclusion also means Hutchinson is headed to trial for the death of 88-year-old Albert Korn which is approaching its third anniversary. Korn died in June 2009, two weeks after allegedly encountering Hutchinson who prosecutors say broke into his Hallmark Drive home, beat him and ed in his car with a wallet and jewelry. Hutchinson was identied as the suspect after being arrested for similar home invasion robberies in West Sacramento. After
RACE
Growing up, the boys were often competitive. Working together for a common interest was a challenge both alluded to in their personal interviews posted on the shows website. But that didnt seem to slow the team since Andrew Weber noted the two were still moving forward even when arguments arose. We learned a lot about our relationship, he said. If anything, it made us more aware of the things we need to work
Business, which welcomed back previous racers, and in 2009. Redwood City native Blackledge and her teammate were not successful during their second attempt either. In 2008, Toni Imbimbo and her son Dallas, both from Woodside, took on the race. Their attempt to win $1 million took a bad turn when, very close to the nale, Dallas accidentally left the teams passports and money in a taxi. Without identication allowing for them to continue to travel, the mother-son team was eliminated. The Amazing Race premieres 8 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 19 at 8 p.m. on CBS.

Wounded Syrian refugees flee violence

By Dale Gavlak and Zeina Kram
RAMTHA, Jordan Syrian refugees eeing to Jordan for their lives described a dramatic escalation in violence and a mounting toll of dead and wounded in the southern city of Daraa and the countrys battered central region. Medical workers in neighboring Jordan prepared blood donations to send to Daraa, the city where the uprising against President Bashar Assad erupted nearly a year ago, as the regime struggled to extinguish major pockets of dissent with intensive shelling. Activists said at least 26 civilians were killed Friday, many of them in the rebellious central city of Homs, where shells slammed into rebelheld residential areas. The ghting in Homs, coupled with fresh violence in Daraa, has triggered a new wave of wounded refugees crossing the border into Jordan. Government troops are shelling everything, whether its buildings, people, houses. They consider us nothing. They want to eliminate us totally, said Seif, a 22-year-old who was receiving medical treatment in a Jordanian hospital along with other Syrian refugees. Seif said he was working with army defectors from the Free Syrian Army, helping retrieve the wounded from collapsed buildings and homes, when he was hit by shrapnel in his leg. He could not receive medical
Homs, a province in central Syria that stretches from the border with Lebanon in the west to the frontiers with Iraq and Jordan in the east, has been one of the key centers of opposition to Assad. As the uprising has become more militarized in recent months, with army defectors battling regime forces almost daily, the rebels have taken control of small parts of the province, including neighborhoods in the city of Homs and the nearby town of Rastan. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and other activists said shells slammed into the Homs neighborhoods of Baba Amr, Bayadah, Khaldiyeh and Inshaat on Friday, killing at least 13 people. Syrian troops have been attacking the neighborhoods since Feb. 4. Two people were killed by security forces in Daraa, and 11 others in REUTERS various attacks across the country, the group said.

Tensions with Iran raise safety concerns

By Eileen Sullivan
Around the world

Deadly Honduran fire could occur across region
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras The worlds worst prison re in a century happened in a lockup like many in Honduras: a decrepit, suffocating place of overcrowded, dark cellblocks where many inmates were accused only of petty crimes. Experts warn a similar disaster could happen again in Central America, where a decade of crackdowns on drug trafcking, gangs and out-of-control street crime has left the region dotted with re-prone prisons often crammed with more than twice the number of inmates they can safely handle. You have this tremendous public security crisis and the quick answer that prevailed for all of these years is iron st, said Jose Miguel Vivanco, Americas director for Human Rights Watch. By iron st, you mean increasing penalties, making it more difcult for prisoners to get out of prison, he said. Inmates languish for months, or even years, as their cases slowly move through backlogged judicial systems.

Clearinghouse ready to evict Iranian banks

By Anne Gearan and Slobodon Lekic
BRUSSELS A nancial clearinghouse used by virtually every country and major corporation in the world agreed Friday to shut out Iran from its respected network, an unprecedented escalation of global economic pressure to halt Irans suspected drive for nuclear weapons. Quicker than a succession of slow-acting economic sanctions, expelling Iran from the banking hub could put a sudden choke hold on its oil-dependent economy. The move was made under strong pressure from the United States and the European Union, which are looking for ways to derail Irans nuclear program quickly without a military strike.
If SWIFT follows through on its public commitment to ban Iranian banks, it could sever the Iranian regimes nancial lifeline, said Mark Dubowitz, an Iran sanctions expert advising the Obama administration. It would also be a signicant political embarrassment for the regime: Iran would be the rst country in SWIFTs history to be expelled from what is the nancial equivalent of the United Nations. The European Union is expected to act within weeks to effectively cut off major Iranian banks from participation in The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, known as SWIFT. Its a move of last resort, with risks ranging from huge ination and nancial hardship for ordinary Iranians to disruption and price increases on the world oil market.
WASHINGTON The government is worried that Iran will consider a terror attack on American soil, but it has no specic or credible threat about such a plot. Police from Los Angeles to New York City said they were anxious about the risks, even as a senior U.S. intelligence ofcial reassured Congress that it was unlikely Iran would attack. Law enforcement officials are keeping an eye out for potential Iranian operatives or anyone with links to the countrys proxy terrorist group, Hezbollah, as tensions escalate amid bombings overseas and tough talk from Irans government about its nuclear energy program. Los Angeles, which has one of the largest Iranian communities outside Iran, has moved potential Iranian threats to the top of its intelligence briengs over the past few weeks. The New York Police Department said it assumes Iran would attack the city, with its especially large Jewish population. The attacks overseas raises everybodys anxiety level a little bit, said Deputy Chief Michael Downing, commander of the Los Angeles Police Departments counterterrorism and special operations bureau. In recent weeks, Iran has been blamed for bombings in India, Georgia and Thailand. Its been at the forefront, Downing said. Iran has accused Israel, its longtime adversary, of killing some of its nuclear scientists, while Israel has warned of a military strike against Irans nuclear energy program over concerns it could lead to development of a nuclear bomb. Amid the tensions, Los Angeles increased its outreach to Iranian and Jewish communities, assuring them
there is no reason to be paranoid or overly anxious, Downing said in an interview. The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said Hezbollah and Iran are capable of attacking inside the U.S. King said he received two intelligence briefs on the Iranian threat in the past two weeks. We know theyre here, mainly facilitators and fundraisers, that type of thing, King said. How quickly they could be activated, what others there are here, thats the unknown. An unclassied U.S. government intelligence bulletin circulated last week and obtained by the Associated Press warned, We remain concerned Iran would consider attacks in the United States, and predicted that domestic violent extremists will continue to threaten and conduct isolated acts of violence against Jewish organizations. But it acknowledged, We have no specic information that Iran or its surrogates are targeting Jewish organizations, facilities or personnel in the United States. The head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lt. Gen. Ronald Burgess, told Congress on Thursday that his agency believes Iran is unlikely to initiate or intentionally provoke a conflict, although he acknowledged that Iran could attempt to deploy terrorist agents around the world. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., similarly warned, The rulers in Iran clearly pose a more direct threat to us than many would have assumed just a year ago. In New York, the director of intelligence analysis for the New York Police Department, Mitchell D. Silber, called the threat there neither an idle nor a new threat.
Vatileakscasts cloud over new cardinal ceremony

VATICAN CITY A scandal over leaked Vatican documents and reports of political inghting, nancial mismanagement and administrative chaos in the Holy Sees frescoed halls have cast a cloud over this weekends ceremony to create 22 new cardinals. With Pope Benedict XVI slowing down as he nears his 85th birthday, Saturdays ceremony has taken on the aura of a pre-conclave summit. Reports abound in the Italian media of cardinals and their supporters jockeying for prominence ahead of a future papal election, and of a Vatican bureaucracy in disarray as Benedict focuses his waning strength on other matters.
