William Ayres
The former San Mateo child psychiatrist committed to Napa State Hospital with Alzheimers-related dementia before he could be retried for allegedly molesting several young male patients
will ask a judge to place him on outpatient treatment instead. William Hamilton Ayres, 80, is required to spend at least six months in the hospital after which the law allows a judge to consider transferring him to a different facility or modifying his commitment order to outpatient treatment.
He entered the hospital in October. Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti said her ofce will absolutely argue vigorously against any change. Our position will continue to be that he belongs in Napa State Hospital, she said. If Ayres is to go anywhere, she said, it
is back to San Mateo County for prosecution. Ayres was arrested in 2007 and tried in 2009 for allegedly abusing six former male patients under the guise of medical exams between 1988 and 1996 when
nown his entire career for his furious sts, former boxing heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is in the Bay Area today to do a little something different with his hands.
The Undisputed Gym in San Carlos will be the place to be Saturday if youre a boxing fan as Iron Mike makes a rare promotional appearance starting at 2 p.m. Tyson, who gained notoriety and infamy in the late 80s and early 90s, will be meeting fans and signing autographs at The Undisputed Gym in San Carlos, in conjunction with Sun Bay Sports Art. Steve Hopkins (renowned sports artist) did these lithographs of Mike Tyson and he was looking for a site to hold this event where hes going to be signing these lithographs and he approached us, said Undisputed owner Brian Schwartz, a championship ghter in his own right. Being boxing fans, we were all about it. To have Mike Tyson in our gym was enough for us to give them the green light to have it here. Undisputed Gym was perfect for this event, said Hopkins, who owns Sun Bay Sports Art out of San Carlos. Hopkins said the lithograph was a project he was approached to do by Tysons camp. I usually do these projects for records, he said, with his portfolio featuring pieces for Barry Bonds and Jerry Rice. I was approached by Mike because they had never done something like this. And that was the perfect opportunity for me do something. Hopkins said the inspiration for his art came from Tysons 1986 bout against Trevor Berbick a ght Tyson won in the second round by technical knockout. It was on that day in November that Iron Mike won the WBC Heavyweight Title, becoming the youngest to ever do so. Painted over a two-and-a-half week span, Hopkins said Tyson loved the end product and approved it before his 500-print reproduction. I wanted to capture his ferociousness in the ring, Hopkins said.

San Mateo County, San Carlos and Redwood City could collectively save millions of dollars and provide more efcient re service by consolidating three overlapping stations and rethinking how they are equipped, according to initial reports and ongoing discussions with the stakeholders.

A large basis of the discussions between the cities and the county is a 2010 report by TriData commissioned when San Carlos was looking for a new re partner following the

A black bag containing knives worth $1,000 was taken from a restaurant on Glennan Drive in Redwood City before 3:19 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22.
Chris Anthony was one of those kids who thumbed through the Guinness Book of World Records in the back of a station wagon while on family road trips. Engrossed in the random acts or habits that earned people their recognition longest fingernails, being able to jump the highest, being the smallest adult Anthony long thought what a thrill it would be having his name among those. In 2009, Anthony decided to get his name in the book, although the idea wasnt sparked for that reason. Anthony, a 46-year-old musician from San Mateo, wanted to do something to support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Both his father and sister suffer from MS but he was tired of the same fundraising format. Thats when he decided to look up the record for the longest drum roll. He ended up KORE CHAN/DAILY JOURNAL claiming it that year by drumming for four hours and 6 minutes March 21, 2009. In Chris Anthony will attempt to drum for eight October of the same year, Anthonys record hours straight on at the Hillsdale Shopping was broken. On Saturday, Anthony is aiming Center Saturday. to set a new record of eight hours. So, the with his family that spent lots of time playbeat will literally go on, and on, an on start- ing music together. At 6, Anthony received a ing at 10 a.m. at the Hillsdale Shopping snare drum for Christmas and started a lifelong passion for music. He attended Center in San Mateo. Im taking it back, Anthony said of the Interlochen Arts Academy High School, in Northern Michigan, followed by Oberlin record. Anthony grew up in Mt. Clemens, Mich. Conservatory of Music in Oberlin, Ohio. In
1989, Anthony moved to the Bay Area to work on commercial projects. Today, Anthony owns True Beat Music Services, which provides private instruction in percussion and piano. Hes an active freelance percussionist as well as a member of the original rock group, Rubberoom, and a Bay Area classic rock and roll band, Dutch Uncle. Anthony is now trying to take back his drum roll record, with the support of his wife Jennifer who Anthony noted will be supporting him this weekend by giving him water and possibly a milkshake. Anthonys been training for the big event by drumming nonstop for longer periods of time. He has backup plans in place should he need to rest one arm for a bit and is confident those who show up will witness a new record. Besides raising money for a good cause, Anthony is looking forward to having his name back in the record books. Its something small that he can share with the kids he teaches. Chris Anthonys record-breaking attempt starts at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 25 in the Nordstrom Court at the Hillsdale Shopping Center, 60 31st Ave., San Mateo.

Marvelous Wonderettes
By Keith Kreitman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
If you go
THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES CREATED AND WRITTEN BY: Roger Bean PERFORMED BY: Coastal Repertory Theater DIRECTED BY: Michael Lederman WHERE: 1167 Main St., Half Moon Bay WHEN: 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday through Saturday, March 3 TICKETS: $20-$35 CONTACT: (650) 569-3266 or www.coastalrep.com/tickets/buy-tickets On a simple high school auditorium stage set by Bob Mitton, choreographed by one of the musicals actresses Kimberly Kroll, there is a stream of more than 25 songs, such as Mr. Sandman, Lollipop, All I Have To Do Is Dream, Sincerely and Sugartime out of the 1950s and Heatwave, Son of a Preacher Man, Rescue Me and Respect out of the 1960s. The whole thing is mindless but thats where the fun is. On the day I reviewed, the audience was relaxed, laid back and letting the whole thing wash across it until a standing ovation closed the show, all too soon. If one stops to analyze it, the sequence of songs, beginning with Mr. Sandman, move the action along until the reunion 10 years later when the four have entered maturity with all the adolescent hurts behind them replaced by new hurts of maturity and reality and one conspicuously pregnant. I was surprised the supporting live band was only four musicians: Anthony Franceschi, Sylvia Chen, Jeremy Flanagan and Michel La Guardia, directed by John Lehrack. It was so full sounding. My suggestion: Dont look for a plot. Dont look for serious issues. Just sit back and forget the troubling issues of the day for a blessed couple of hours.
Well, it aint My Fair Lady but its darn good anyway! I would remiss if I didnt comment on the growth and success of the Coastal Repertory Theater of Half Moon Bay since it has been renamed from This Side of the Hill Players. Under the artistic direction of Michael Lederman, with assists from his actor/director wife Roxane Ashe and a lot of enthusiastic Half Moon Bay volunteers, it went from a soso community theater, when I rst reviewed it, to equal status with some of the best in the San Francisco Bay Area. I will repeat what I have written several times before. Its worth the trip over the hill to Half Moon Bay to see some of their successful productions. The Marvelous Wonderettes has been an off Broadway success. Its an unpretentious lot of fun encompassing familiar ballads from the bubble gum and often saccharin era of the 1950s emphasized by one singer torturing a piece of bubble gum to the death to the more cutting edge songs of the 1960s. It has rightly been labeled a jukebox musical. From formal pastel prom gowns the singers go to short skirts and the go-go boots of that counterculture. When one stages a musical that is mostly a medley of songs, one better have some very good performers to hold the audience and director Michael Lederman corralled four knockout singer/actresses who fill in the singing action with some hilarious comic movements. These are Beth Guido, Courtney Hatcher, Phaedra Tillery and Kimberly Krol, whose individual stage names dont really matter in this musical. All are real pros who weave together and complement each other and are an afrmation of my long-held view that the pool of talent in the Bay Area is at least the equal of any other theatrical cluster in the land.

Redwood City may spend more than $82,000 to clean up a 600-ton trash and contaminated dirt pile illegally dumped on vacant Pine Street land between two train corridors. Roughly 300 cubic yards, or 600 tons, of soil, debris and railroad ties sit on the 300 block of Pine Street between the Caltrain corridor and the Union Pacic Railroad spur track that runs from the Port of Redwood City along Chestnut Street. For a long time, who actually owned the site was unclear which in part kept cleanup at bay. A surveyor hired by the city recently established the property boundaries, creating a .17-acre parcel in the citys responsibility. The plan now is for the city, county,
Caltrain and Union Pacic to pitch in on cleaning the area and preventing future problems. The city will spearhead the trash and dirt removal before fencing off the property. The railroad will pay for the purchase and installation of new fencing and a locked gate, giving the city access to the property. On Monday night, the Redwood City Council will be asked to approve $82,892 from its Streets Maintenance Subprogram operating budget to pay Campbell-based removal provider The Dirt Market. The council set aside $90,000 for the job through a budget amendment Feb. 6 but must still move ahead with the proposal for the actual work. Before hiring an outside dirt hauler, the city rst considered using its own workers and equipment to move the pile to the Ox Mountain landll in Half
Moon Bay. Limited staff and worry the time needed would cut into other maintenance needs killed that idea. The second plan for a hired company proved to be a better option anyway, according to Public Works Superintendent Michael Gibbons assessment to the council, because the soil testing showed it is contaminated with enough chemicals possibly a mix of pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds but no asbestos that the county landll would not accept it. Instead, The Dirt Market will take the dirt to the Republic Services Vasco Road Landfill in Livermore which does handle such soil. The Redwood City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 27 at City Hall, 1017 Middleeld Road, Redwood City.
BURLINGAME California Republicans must stay focused on economic issues to win over voters who are skeptical of the party, Republican Party Chairman Tom Del Beccaro said Friday as he outlined his efforts to rebrand the Class notes is a column dedicated to school news. It is compiled by damaged GOP name in the state. education reporter Heather Murtagh. You can contact her at (650) Since taking the helm of the party last 344-5200, ext. 105 or at heather@smdailyjournal.com. year, Del Beccaro has held town hall meetings with Hispanic voters and is trying to keep Republican candidates focused on issues such as state spending that he says will help them win elections this year. Its a tough sell for an electorate that
has increasingly spurned the party over the past decade. Republicans have no statewide ofceholders and are a minority in both houses of the Legislature, where their primary role has been reduced to rejecting the state budget and tax increases, which require a two-thirds majority to pass. Thats led to an image that the California GOP is the party of no, Del Beccaro said during a news conference to kick off the partys statewide convention this weekend in Burlingame. Parties become more attractive when they have positive agendas, he said. He wants legislative, statewide and congressional candidates to concentrate on scal issues, on which Del Beccaro said voters often agree with the
Republican agenda. That includes a statewide spending cap that conservative interest groups hope to get on the ballot in November. If we drive out voters because we have a positive agenda to vote for something that they like, that will carry over up and down the ticket. The problem in the past is the Republicans have selfdivided on the issues and not run statewide themes, Del Beccaro said. Democratic Party Chairman John Burton disagreed with the idea that voters side with Republicans on state spending, noting that recent polls have shown more than 50 percent support for three competing ballot initiatives to raise taxes to help solve the states $9.2 billion budget shortfall.
DETROIT Four days before critical primary elections, Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney outlined a far-reaching plan Friday to gradually delay Americans eligibility for Medicare as well as Social Security. Romney said the shift, as people live
Mitt Romney
longer, is needed to steer the giant benefit programs toward economic sustainability. Speaking to the Detroit Economic Club in cavernous Ford Field, where the Detroit Lions football team plays
he also made a play for primary election support in Michigan, which votes on Tuesday along with Arizona. Romney said previous steps to toughen government emission standards had provided a benefit to some of the foreign automakers at the expense of American companies. He said future changes should be worked out cooperatively between government and industry.

OPINION
revolution brought chemical pollution. In the early 1900s, the San Francisco Bay in San Mateo County produced millions of pounds of oysters and shrimp every year but by 1913 chemical pollution destroyed that shery. Its probably a good thing, because the oysters were tainted by high levels of mercury from Sierra gold mining and quicksilver mines in San Jose that were owing untreated into the Bay. Read the California 2012 State Fish and Game Sport Fishing Guide and you will see stern warnings about eating sh from the Bay, it is hard to believe how contaminated the Bay still is, mostly a result of pollution from the 1800s. Weve just about wiped out whales, they are down to less than 5 percent of their pre-whaling populations. Salmon are in about the same shape, as are almost all ocean sh. We succeeded in walking a few species back from the brink, but the future is still very uncertain. Plastic is the newest threat, and may be the most deadly. It kills in many ways. In March of 2007, a sperm whale washed up dead at Point Reyes with more than 450 pounds of plastic in its stomach. Gray whale necropsies often nd nearly as much plastic. Researchers are nding dead seabirds on mid-Pacic nesting grounds that have stomach cavities lled with plastic. National Geographic ran a story a in 2005 with a picture of plastic debris in the carcass of an albatross. A reader who served on seaplanes in World War II noticed a plastic part in the bird from a Catalina ying boat that was lost in 1944, from markings on the part they were able to prove it came from one specic plane and was in the sea for more than 60 years before it helped kill the bird. The more scary threat that scientists are just starting to study is what happens to plastics that become micro
Are we overregulated?

hen the Russians, the rst European visitors who came here in number, went after sea otters, it took a few short years to virtually eliminate them, using sail and rowboats alone. Written accounts from Spanish explorers noted that otters covered San Francisco Bay like a carpet of logs. The rst conservation regulation on the west coast of North America was enacted in the 1820s, a decree by the Spanish governor that no otter pups could be killed, it was largely ignored. Otters hold abalone and urchins in check, when they were gone kelp was attacked by urchins, it collapsed along with its associated sh populations. After the Russians left, the Spanish and English exterminated the native peoples, then started on the natural resources sea lions were next, then bears and mountain lions. Grizzlies were common in San Mateo County until the late 1800s. Next on the list were salmon and birds, then whales. Millions of seabird eggs were taken from the Farallones, crashing their populations in a few years, so miners could have eggs for breakfast. Harvesters would destroy the eggs in nests, then come back a few days later after the birds laid replacements and collect the fresh eggs. Salmon were not just overshed, their habitat was destroyed by hydraulic mining, dams and the subsequent silting of the Sierras rivers and the Bay. Salmon migrating up the Sacramento river prior to the gold rush were so numerous that it was said you could walk across the river on their backs. Then we started on the things that did not or could not move. Redwood forests were clear-cut for lumber to build San Francisco and support the mines of the gold rush. To this day, you can still see the effects, so called Fairy Rings, a circular growth of redwoods that sprout from the trunk of the destroyed trees. Then we got serious, the industrial

debris, there is concern that they are getting into our tissue and cells. If this turns out to be the problem, some researchers fear it may dwarf all of the damage mankind has wrought on the oceans to date. Regulation is our collective response to damage wrought on the commons by individuals who do not know or care what they are doing. It is often inadequate and almost always too late, but life without it in the modern industrial era would be horric. For all of us. Every regulation must be debated, and we have the obligation to listen to all points of view, but we must not lose sight of past mistakes. In 1970 not one California brown pelican chick lived to adulthood, thanks to DDT poisoning. Today, pelicans are back after regulation banned its manufacture and use. Our best defense is knowledge and activism. Read a classic book, like Silent Spring, encourage your school district to teach our children the lessons history has taught us, or they will learn repeat our mistakes. Is suffering through using paper bags for our groceries that much of a hardship? Plastic bags in water look just like jellysh, they get eaten by then kill many animals in the sea. You may be responsible and recycle, but many of us are not and do not. Bags are killing the few sea turtles we have not exterminated, along with birds, whales and sh. The entire food chain is interrelated, eventually we harm ourselves and our children when we pollute.

S&P 500 index hits highest point since June 2008

pretty good run over the past four months. Now its going to take something great to keep it above 13,000. The two economic reports out Friday didnt make the cut. A consumer sentiment index taken by the University of Michigan and Reuters edged up in February to its highest level in a year. And the Commerce Department reported that sales of new homes dipped slightly in January, but the gure still topped economists estimates. It also said sales in the nal three months of 2011 were higher than previously reported. The numbers are just OK, Lamkin said. They werent bad, but they werent great, either. In other trading, the Nasdaq composite index rose 6.77 points to 2,963.75. Oil prices hit a nine-month high of $109.77 a barrel. The price of oil has jumped 10 percent this month amid rising concerns about a conflict with Iran. The euro added a penny against the dollar, hitting $1.346, its highest since Dec. 5. Greece made a formal offer to creditors to swap their Greek government bonds for new ones, another step toward knocking $142 billion off its debts.

NEW YORK A two-point gain was enough to push the Standard & Poors 500 index to its highest level since June 2008, three months before the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the darkest days of the nancial crisis. The S&P 500 index closed at 1,365.74, beating its 2011 closing high by two points. For the second day this week, the Dow Jones industrial average nudged above 13,000 then pulled back. It rose 29 points in the morning but wavered in the afternoon. The Dow dropped 1.74 points to close at 12,982.95. American Express was the leading stock among the 30 that make up the average, gaining 1.2 percent. It was a similar story on Tuesday, when the Dow itted above 13,000 three times but ended the day lower. The average hasnt closed above 13,000 since May 19, 2008. What will it take for the Dow to close above 13,000 and stay there?

Google to sell Clearwire stake at 94 percent loss
NEW YORK Google Inc. on Friday said it will sell its stake in Clearwire Corp., the struggling operator of a wireless data network. The search company is taking a 94 percent loss on the originally $500 million investment made in 2008. Google said in a regulatory ling that its seeking to sell its stake starting Monday for $1.60 per share, or $47 million total. Clearwire shares fell 16 cents, or 6.8 percent, to close Friday at $2.11. Google was part of a consortium that included cable companies and equipment provider Intel Corp. that injected $3.2 billion into Clearwire when it merged with a Sprint Nextel Corp. unit in 2008. The hope was that Clearwire would be a powerful competitor to the established cellphone companies, providing fast wireless data at low prices. But technical challenges and a lack of scale has sidelined Kirkland, Wash.-based Clearwire. Its using a wireless technology that once looked promising, but has been eschewed by cellphone companies. It now plans to catch up by adopting the industry standard LTE technology, but it needs more funding to make the switch.
NEW YORK Oil prices are approaching last years highs as tensions increase over Irans nuclear program. The rise pushed gasoline prices on Friday to a national average of $3.65 per gallon, the highest ever for this time of year. Western nations fear Iran is building a nuclear weapon and have been trying to force it to open its facilities to inspection. Iran has refused, turning away international inspectors this week for the second time this month. The United Nations said Friday that Iran has responded to the recent scrutiny by speeding up production of higher-grade enriched uranium, feeding concerns that
it is developing a bomb. As both sides dig in for a protracted standoff, investors are snapping up oil contracts in case ghting breaks out in the heart of the one of the worlds biggest oil-producing regions. Everyones pricing in the potential for war now, independent analyst Stephen Schork said. Without a concrete resolution, nobody knows how high this can go. Israel hasnt ruled out an attack on Iran, and Iran has said it is ready to strike pre-emptively, possibly targeting the Strait of Hormuz, if it is threatened. The Persian Gulf passageway is a potential choke point for oil supplies. One-fth of the worlds oil tankers pass through it every day. On Friday benchmark West Texas
Intermediate crude rose by $1.94 to end the week at $109.77 per barrel in New York. Brent crude rose by $1.85 to nish at $125.47 per barrel in London. WTI peaked near $114 a barrel last May, while Brent rose above $126 per barrel. The price of gasoline, which is made from crude oil, has soared with oil prices. The national average jumped by nearly 12 cents per gallon in a week, with state averages above $4 per gallon in California, Alaska and Hawaii. It looks like theyll keep climbing. Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service, said pump prices will add at least another 10 to 15 cents per gallon in coming days to reect a recent jump in wholesale markets.
WASHINGTON Sales of new homes dipped in January but the nal quarter of 2011 was stronger than rst estimated. The Commerce Department said Friday that new-home sales fell 0.9 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 321,000 homes. That followed four straight months of gains in which home sales rose 10 percent.
The gains came after the government upwardly revised October, November and Decembers figures. Decembers annual sales pace of 324,000 was the highest in a year. Even with more sales, just 304,000 new homes were sold in 2011 the fewest on records dating back to 1963. And new homes are selling well below the 700,000-per-year rate that economists equate with healthy markets. Still, the pickup in sales at the end of last year coincides with other improve-
ments in the housing market and should bolster the view that the depressed sector is starting to revive. Pierre Ellis, an economist at Decision Economics, said the improvement lends additional support to the housing market, and mirrors other positive signs in the industry. Builders are growing more optimistic after seeing more people express interest in buying this year. Theyve also sought more permits to build single-family homes one of several encouraging signs across the housing industry.
SIMI VALLEY A judge in Southern California on Friday awarded $850 to an iPhone user because AT&T Inc. reduced his download speeds in an attempt to manage usage on its network. Pro-tem Judge Russell Nadel found in
favor of Matt Spaccarelli in Ventura Superior Court in Simi Valley. Spaccarelli led a small claims case against AT&T last month, arguing the communications giant unfairly slows speeds on his iPhone 4s unlimited data plan. Nadels ruling could pave the way for others to follow suit. AT&T has some 17 million customers with unlimited data plans that can be subject to throttling,
representing just under half of the companys smartphone users. AT&T stopped signing up new customers for those plans in 2010, and warned last year that it would start slowing speeds for people who consume the most data. In the last few months, subscribers have been surprised by how little data use it takes for throttling to kick in often less than AT&T provides to those on limited or tiered plans.

It was one of those game we will always remember.You always remember these moments good and bad.
Sam Manu,Aragon boysbasketball coach
One of the best things about high school sports are the memories that players and coaches make throughout the season. Thursday night, both the Aragon boys and Sequoia girls basketball teams had games they will probably never forget. While the Dons shocked eighth-seeded Willow Glen in overtime, 65-60, the Cherokees came oh-so-close to knocking off No. 5 Piedmont Hills, leading for
most of the game before falling 35-32. It was one of those game we will always remember, said Aragon coach Sam Manu. You always remember these moments good and bad. [Thursday] night, theyll always remember that game.
The Dons win over Willow Glen was no ordinary accomplishment. Aragon was in danger of being completely run out of the gym, trailing by 19 points in the rst half and down by 17 at halftime. We knew the set plays [Willow Glen] had,
but when its live and theyre [running them], it was like [we] had amnesia or something, Manu said. Our offense was very robotic. They werent owing. It was just one of those things. Once the lights went on, they had deer-in-theheadlights (looks on their faces). As poorly as the Dons played was how well the Rams were playing. They outscored Aragon 19-5 in the rst quarter, and we were blessed to have those ve, Manu said. The Rams led 3319 at halftime.
PHOENIX Manny Ramirez arrived at the Oakland Athletics training facility Friday to begin his return to baseball and said he was intent on demonstrating I can still play. The As are hoping he can return to the level that made him one of the most feared hitters in baseball. Ramirez got off to a good start. After taking batting practice, in which he hit seven home runs off As coach Mike Gallego, Ramirez addressed the media accompanied by his wife, Juliana, and two sons, Manny Jr. and Lucas. I was kind of nervous coming to the stadium, Ramirez said. Im here because God brought me here. I know a lot of people are, Oh, hes not going to play anymore, but you know something? Manny Ramirez When God says that theyre going to open the door for you, no matter what anyone says, the door is going to open. Thats why Im here. Juliana occasionally put her hand on Ramirez as he spoke about difculties he did not address specics hes endured since telling Major League Baseball he was retiring a week into the 2011 season.

The pressure to reach CCS soccer nal four is on. And so, 12 teams representing the Peninsula head into this weekends quarternal matchups with a chance to participate in one of 12 division seminals come next week. On the girls side, Menlo-Atherton made their return to CCS following a seven-year absence a successful one, defeating No. 8 seed Watsonville on foreign soil last Wednesday to secure a match against No. 1 Los Gatos. Its not always easy to go on the road, especially that far, said M-A head coach Paul
Snow of their 3-1 win in the rst round. They came in with condence knowing that theyre a good team and they played like it. The Bears dominated the game, according to Snow. They got an early goal and, despite a slip-up shortly after, rode that momentum to the victory. We tried to put it away in the second half. But, a 3-1 win is ne by me. Saturday marks another long trip for M-A. Theyll travel all the way to Del Mar for a 10 a.m. matchup against a Wildcats squad that is 3-0 against Peninsula Athletic League teams this year outscoring them 16-0 in the process. Even though theyre the No. 1 seed, at this level, anything can happen, Snow said. And
its not like were going to back down, stack our defense and hope for a tie then go to penalty kicks. I think we can denitely hold our own against this team. We match up pretty well. They deserve to be here, they all know that, he said. They played like it in the rst game and were taking it one game at a time. We think we can make a deep run. We could maybe win this game although a lot of people think were going to get blown out. I dont. I think its going to be a good game and anything can happen.

PHOENIX Saying my name has been dragged through the mud, NL MVP Ryan Braun reported to spring training with the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday and declared he had been vindicated, a day after his 50-game suspension for a positive drug test was overturned by an arbitrator. Brauns teammates sat in the stands, in uniform, as he held a news conference on the eld at the teams Ryan Braun training complex. Braun said that, since what was supposed to be a condential appeal was played out in public, Ive lived this nightmare every day for the last four months. Braun detailed how the urine sample he provided on Oct. 1, the day the Brewers opened the playoffs, was not delivered to Federal Express until Oct. 3. Baseballs drug agreement calls for samples to be delivered to FedEx on the same day they are collected. At the end of the day the truth prevailed, he said. Im a victim of a process that complete-
taken responsibility for my actions. I truly believe in my heart and I would bet my life that the substance never entered my body at any point. He criticized the media for leaking the positive test, saying there had been many inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete and fabricated stories regarding this issue. My name has been dragged through the mud as everything Ive ever worked for in my life has been called into question, he said. Braun arrived at Milwaukees facility at about 9:40 a.m. walking through the complexs front doors to avoid reporters and camera crews waiting in back at the clubhouse entrance. Braun kissed his girlfriend before joining his teammates. Braun rst met with manager Ron Roenicke, who suggested that the star outelder also meet privately with Milwaukees players. Hes been talking to me all winter, so we know whats going on, Roenicke said. But they needed to hear it. With the outcome of it, I dont think he needed to explain anything, but I think he wanted to and the players probably appreciated it, so I thought it was great. Braun, who hit .332 with 33 homers and 111 RBIs last year, is the rst Major League Baseball player to have his suspension lifted by an arbitrator for a drug-related penalty.

SAN FRANCISCO The former president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors has led a lawsuit seeking a new environmental review of the Americas Cup sailing race. A group calling itself Waterfront Watch led the lawsuit Thursday in San Francisco Superior Court. Former board president Aaron Peskin signed the lawsuit saying he was a member of the organization. The unincorporated group describes itself as persons and entities that objected to approval of San Francisco hosting sailings most prestigious racing event in September 2013. The lawsuit alleges the city failed to properly review the environment impacts that the event will have on the San Francisco Bay and the city. It asks a judge to order a halt to construction until the lawsuit is resolved. The lawsuit names the city, its board and planning commission and organizers of the Americas
Cup race. Several construction companies, architectural rms and yacht clubs are also named. A lawyer representing Peskin and the plaintiffs didnt return a phone call. In a letter to the court, Peskins attorney Keith Wagner said the plaintiffs were compelled by state-mandated deadlines to le the environmentally related lawsuit by Friday. Wagner said in the letter that the lawsuit was led because he was unable to reach an agreement with city ofcials to extend the deadline. Wagner said the suit will be dropped if such an agreement occurs. Peskin was on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for eight years ending in 2009. He served as board president in 2004 and 2005 and is now the local chairman of the Democratic Party. Hes been an outspoken opponent of the proposed agreement between the city and Americas Cup organizers. The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to vote next week on nal approval of the nancial agreement between the city and race organizers. City ofcials couldnt immediately be reached for comment.

Sports brief
Randles 20 lead Stanford past Colorado 74-50
BOULDER, Colo. Stanfords superior size and swarming defense took Colorado and its sellout crowd out of Thursday nights game early. Just as swiftly, the Cardinal put a damper the Buffaloes ascent toward the top of the Pac-12 standings by handing them their rst league home loss with a 74-50 rout behind 20 points from Chasson Randle and a superb defensive effort. I dont have much to say after that one other than it was just an old-fashioned butt-whipping that we took in every phase of the game, Colorado coach Tad Boyle said. We let a golden opportunity slip by. Along with plenty of Cardinal players who had clear lanes to the basket and open shots on jumpers all night. I dont know if we were nervous coming into the game, if we were too excited or what the deal was, Buffs forward Austin Dufault said. But for whatever reason, we just got down on ourselves the rst few minutes of the game and we couldnt score. And instead of locking in, defending and rebounding, we just kind of folded, and they just took it to us. The Cardinal (1tanford beat 84-64 in Palo Alto, Calif., before losing six of nine. They led this one wire to wire, jumping to a 9-1 lead when the Buffaloes missed their rst seven shots and never recovered. We really wanted to set the tone early, and I think we did that, Randle said. The Buffs (18-9, 10-5) had gone 7-2 since that blowout at Stanford and had been the only unbeaten team at home (7-0) in Pac-12 play. We had a lot more to play for than Stanford did, but we sure didnt act like it and play like it tonight, Boyle said.

against Monta Vista at Terra Nova High School. In Division II, the girls from Aragon represent the PALs only hope. The No. 6 Dons are coming off a 5-1 thrashing of No. 11 Willow Glen. Were denitely ring on all cylinders, said Aragon head coach Will Colglazier. I feel were playing our best soccer of the year. We keep on tweaking things at practice, but were ready to make a run. For Aragon, who led the PAL Bay race for most of the season, the rst round game was a bit of blessing. I think we looked at having to play a rst round game as being good for us, especially since it gave us a chance to play a game at home again, Colglazier said. It gave us some condence. I saw it as an opportunity and I think the girls did too rene some things. We come off that game really strong, not just on nishing but also possession-wise. We won the right way. Sometimes against a weaker opponent, you can win ugly. But that wasnt the way it was last Thursday. Hopefully we can continue that.
BOYS SOCCER
The matchups on the male side of things dont get more intriguing than No. 2 Serra against No. 5 Alisal in Division I. Game time is noon at Valley thought we was ever going to lose. Tyson stepped back into the ring and experienced some success before his infamous bouts with Evander Holyeld thrust a whole different and obscure light on the ghter. He retired following a loss to Kevin McBride in 2005. The reaction towards Mike Tyson has been mixed, Schwartz said. Obviously, theres The Hangover and the people that remember him from boxing, but people also remember him for some of the things hes done in the past and havent been very supportive of it. Its really a mixed group. Ill be interested to see how it goes on Saturday. Hopkins and Schwartz are expecting anywhere between 250 and 400 fans to show up. The word is out that hes going to be here, Schwarz said. Im not sure. In any case, its going to be a fun event. We provide the site and just try to support them with whatever they want to do. Im a big fan of his and were just excited that hes going to be here and kind of see some of the things that we been doing. Tyson isnt the rst big-name boxer to
Christian High School in San Jose. Alisal beat Sequoia 4-0 to advance to the quarternals. They have yet to lose this season and are ranked in the top 10 nationally by Maxpreps.com. On the same half of the bracket, Menlo-Atherton starts their defense of the No. 1 seed with a game against Santa Teresa at Milpitas High School. Santa Teresa made easy work of Carlmont in the rst round, a 4-1 win. In Division II, Bay Division co-champion San Mateo looks for their rst CCS win since 2006 when they face off against No. 11 Yerba Buena at Terra Nova. Yerba Buena pulled off the monster upset and beat Archbishop Mitty in rst round defeating the Monarchs on their home eld. Woodside by virtue of their win at No. 8 Los Altos, gets a shot at the WCAL champion Lancers of St. Francis on the Mountain View campus. Burlingame will get the party started in Division III at Terra Nova come 10 a.m. Saturday. The No. 2 Panthers welcome The Kings Academy, the No. 10 seed who beat No. 7 Scotts Valley in another big upset. The Gators of Sacred Heart will get play started at 10 a.m. as well. But theyll be in Gilroy hosting the No. 5 seed in North Monterey County. The Gators are the No. 4 seed in Division III. visit Undisputed. Schwartz and his staff have built a reputation enticing to boxers like Andre Berto and Nonito Donaire. The Filipino Flash came to Undisputed via his wife who knew Schwartz from the owners fighting days. We just kind of clicked, Schwartz said of Donaire, and at rst he was just coming and training here, now he trains with all of our staff. Weve kind of become his team. Its been great and hes been super successful so thats gotten guys like Andre Berto over here to see why hes been so successful. Tysons appearance is the rst of two on the Peninsula. Hell be at ManCave Memorabilia in San Mateo April 7. Beside being fans of Tyson, its also a fun event to be a part of, Schwarz said. Were just honored that they would pick our gym and be a part of it. Were being open-minded and seeing whats going to happen with it and just go from there. Personally, I dont have any expectations other than, Im going to meet one of the best heavyweights of all time and hes going to be in our gym. That, for me, is enough.
HOWARD
Continued from page 11
March 15 trade deadline, or hold onto him all season and risk losing him while getting nothing back in July. Howard didnt want to discuss any of that Friday. All the other stuff can wait, Howard said. I just want people to have fun and enjoy themselves. This is All-Star weekend. This is a time of celebration for guys whove had great rst halves and guys who have never even seen this. Howards table was between Anthony and LeBron James, two of the leagues best-known stars. Yet neither had anywhere near the attention of Howard, and Anthony was glad to yield the spotlight after his status overshadowed last years festivities in Los Angeles. Im glad its not me anymore, Anthony said. James went through the free agency circus the season before, and acknowledged that it wore on him. Yeah, absolutely, James said. I know exactly what hes going through. Its a tough situation but hes going to handle it. Hes a man. Hes going to handle it. Hes going to do whats best for him. Lin wasnt forgotten, even after James and the Heat on Thursday forced him into the worst game since he emerged as the NBAs biggest story earlier this month. Many All-Stars were asked about the Knicks guard, who was playing only in Fridays Rising Stars Challenge featuring rookies and secondyear players yet was given his own evening press conference to accommodate the large media interest. Howard said every time he watches TV, he sees something about Lin, the NBAs rst American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent. He was asked if there was anything that could stop the undrafted guard from Harvard. Uh, he hasnt gone up against the Great Wall of Orlando yet, Howard said. This wall may be moveable. The Magic have given Howards agent permission to discuss deals with the Nets, Lakers and Dallas Mavericks, and there was plenty of speculation he could be dealt even before the season began, just as Chris Paul was. That would have created an awkward All-Star reunion. Howard literally towers over this city, his face pictured on billboards overlooking the interstate and on a giant Adidas ad high atop the outside of the Amway Center. This region caters to visitors, but didnt have to consider how it would have welcomed Howard. Im here, so it doesnt matter what wouldve or shouldve happened, he said. But you know Im here and we want to have a great time. Im looking forward to all the events and showing everybody my city.
TYSON
Continued from page 1
I did that in the piece. It was a time when he was on top of his game. He was a great ghter, Schwartz said. And in the late 80s, he was the most dominant heavyweight out there and some people back then were comparing him to one of the best heavyweights, ever. Tyson was the undisputed champion of the world up until his encounter with Buster Douglas. At 37-0, a 10th round knockout gave Tyson his first loss, shocking the boxing world. Then, the rest of the world was shocked when Tyson was arrested in July 1991 for the rape of 18-year-old Desiree Washington, Miss Black Rhode Island, in an Indianapolis hotel room. Tyson was convicted in February 1992 and he went on to serve three years in prison. He was never the same after that, Schwarz said. But up until that Buster Douglas fight, I dont think people

One of the biggest differences Manu said was changing up his teams defense. After using an ineffective man-to-man defense in the rst half, Manu went to a zone in the second half. It appeared to work as Aragon outscored the Rams 37-20 in the third and fourth quarters. The Dons switched the score of the rst quarter, outscoring Willow Glen 19-5 in the third quarter and followed that with an 18-point fourth quarter to force overtime. At that point, the Dons knew there was no way they would lose. Some momentum is irreversible, Manu said. We were owing. The Dons outscored the Rams 12-7 in the overtime period to advance to Saturdays quarternal matchup against top-seeded Mitty. All ve Aragon starters scored in double gures, with Nick Frankel scoring 15. David Manoa added 13, Alex Manu has 12 and Sam Halaua nished with 10 points to go with 12 rebounds. Our bigs really kept us in the game, Manu said. uled in Japan, but must serve a 50-game suspension for his second positive drug test before he can play in the regular season for Oakland. Sometimes you dont appreciate what you have until you lose it, and thats what happened to me, Ramirez said. Now I appreciate my family more, my kids, the game. Ive got a beautiful wife, Ive got my kids, my family and Im getting my career back. Its been a blessing. Ramirez had retired from the Tampa Bay Rays last season rather than serve a 100-game suspension. Im thankful that I have a job, Ramirez said. At least I can still play baseball in the minor leagues and work on things.

Manu said he never got angry with his team. One, its not really his nature, and two, he couldnt believe what he was watching in the rst half. At halftime, however, he told the team to let it all hang out in the second half. We had nothing to lose now, Manu recalled of his halftime talk. I just told them, You have one half or youre done (for the season). Just give me everything you have. It wasnt like they were down. It was a rallying cry. Thats how its been with these boys. Aragon got off to a quick start in the second half, scoring the rst six points and cutting its decit to 11. It was at that point Manu believed his team had a shot to make the game interesting at the very least. All youre thinking is, Do we have enough time? You know you can catch up if have enough time, Manu said.

She changed my environment and I found a lot of good people out there.

Sports brief
New Nike shoe with outer space theme causes frenzy
Sneaker fanatics who lined up outside stores overnight for a rst crack at a new outer-space themed Nike basketball shoe have become so unruly in some cities that police have been called to restore order. More than 100 deputies in riot gear quelled a crowd in Orlando, Fla., where the Friday release of the $220 Foamposite Galaxy coincides with this weekends NBA All-Star Game. In at a mall in Hyattsville, Md., one person was arrested for disorderly conduct. Malls in Florida, New York and Maryland
reported bringing in police to manage fans clamoring for the purple and blue shoes, which have star-like ecks of white. Some shoppers lucky enough to get their hands on a pair immediately posted them for sale on eBay at skyrocketing prices: $1,000 and up.

Demonstrators protest against Syrias President Bashar al-Assad in Kafranbel near Idlib.
BEIRUT President Bashar Assads forces pounded rebel-held areas in central Syria on Friday, killing at least 22 people, activists said. More than 60 nations meeting in Tunisia asked the United Nations to start planning for a civilian peacekeeping mission that would deploy after the Syrian regime halts its crackdown. As government troops relentlessly shelled rebel-held neighborhoods in the besieged city of Homs, thousands of people in dozens of towns staged anti-regime protests under the slogan: We will revolt for your sake, Baba Amr, referring to the Homs neighborhood that has become the center of the Syrian revolt. Activists said at least 50 people were killed nationwide. In Tunisia, the U.S., European and Arab nations asked the U.N. to start drafting plans for a civilian peacekeeping mission that would deploy after the Damascus regime halts the brutal crackdown.
Still unwilling to commit to military intervention to end the bloodshed, the group offered nothing other than the threat of increasing isolation and sanctions to compel compliance from Assad, who has ignored similar demands. In Washington, President Barack Obama said the U.S. and its allies would consider every tool available to stop the slaughter of innocent people in Syria. He did not give specics about what that might entail. It is time for that regime to move on. And it is time to stop the killing of Syrian citizens by their own government, he said. On Thursday, former U.N. secretary-general Ko Annan was appointed the joint United Nations-Arab League envoy on the Syrian crisis. Annan said in a statement Friday that he would try to help bring an end to the violence and human rights abuses, and promote a peaceful solution in Syria. He expressed hope that the Syrian government and opposition groups will cooperate with him in his efforts.
CHEYENNE, Wyo. Conservatives who say welfare recipients should have to pass a drug test to receive government assistance have momentum on their side. The issue has come up in the Republican presidential campaign, with front-runner Mitt Romney saying its an excellent idea. Nearly two dozen states are considering plans this session that would make drug testing mandatory for welfare recipients, according to the National Conference of State
Legislatures. And Wyoming lawmakers advanced such a proposal this week. Driving the measures is a perception that people on public assistance are misusing the funds and that cutting off their benets would save money for tight state budgets even as statistics have largely proved both notions untrue. The idea, from Joe Taxpayer is, I dont mind helping you out, but you need to show that youre looking for work, or better yet that youre employed, and that youre drug and alcohol free, said Wyoming Republican House Speaker Ed Buchanan on Friday.

It wouldnt be fair to call Cinequest simply a lm festival. For 21 years, the premiere movie-going experience in the Bay Area has set the standard for cinemas lovers and creative minds alike. And come Tuesday, Cinequest will be at it again. For 13 days, San Jose will open its door to 200 lms from across the world with over 600 lm artists, technologists and professionals in attendance to take in the experience. Not just for movie fans, Cinequest exhibits unique social and artistic visions from around the globe. The festival engages audiences in thought-provoking dialogue, giving lm artists and lm lovers alike an opportunity to connect. In addition, Cinequest provides cutting edge technology and moviemaking forums to empower professionals and students. Cinequest begins its 22nd edition with an Opening Night party featuring the lm
The Lady, a telling of the troubled life of Burmese activist Aung San Suu Kyi, played by actress Michelle Yeoh of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Memoirs of a Geisha fame. The lm is directed by Luc Besson, whose list of work includes The Professional and The Fifth Element. The Lady is the story of Suu Kyis return to her native Burma from Oxford, prompted by news of her mothers deteriorating teeth. With the country in political uproar and protesters flooding the streets demanding democratic reform, Suu Kyi nds herself called upon to lead Burma out of a dictators shadow as General Secretary of a newly formed National League for Democracy. Showtime for The Lady is 7 p.m. at the California Theater. But Cinequest isnt just about the lms although theyre all worth the price of admission. The lm festival has built a reputation for

ith the increase in prevalence of technology on school campuses, a culture of novice computer hacking has developed. It starts out pretty innocently. You leave your laptop open on a desk at school while you cross the classroom to throw something out, or go out into the hallway for no more than a minute to grab a sip of water. When you get back to your computer, everything appears to be normal. The documents you had open are unchanged and saved, and your browser is open to that very same YouTube video youd been watching moments ago. Everything seems normal, that is, until you close the windows covering your desktop and you nd that your background picture has been changed to an all-too-recently-taken photo of your friends faces. You realize that more damage was probably done, so you log onto Facebook and sure enough, your new status reads something slightly embarrassing like (Insert friends name here) is the best! or Like this status if you think Im lame! This generations computer hackers (if they can even be called hackers) are quick and stealthy, but most often motivated by the opportunity for a laugh or two rather than the opportunity to seek information.

MAMMA MIA! It seems that there are only two kinds of people in the world: those who have seen Mamma Mia! (an estimated 42 million since it opened in 1999) and those who are going to see it. If you are in the latter group, the shows current run at San Franciscos Orpheum Theatre gives you the chance to move into the former category. Have the time of your life at this sweet-spirited feel-good musical that combines ABBAs greatest hits, including Dancing Queen, Money, Money, Money, S.O.S., Super Trouper, Take A Chance on Me and The Winner Takes It All, with an enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship. Two hours and 30 minutes with one 15-minute intermission. Directed by Phyllida Lloyd. Choreography by Anthony Van Laast MBE. Through March 4. TICKETS: For information call (888) SHN-1799 or visit www.shnsf.com (the only authorized online seller of tickets for SHN Theatres). No children under 5 allowed. STAGE DIRECTIONS: The Orpheum Theatre, 1192 Market St., San Francisco, is a ve-minute level walk from the Civic Center underground parking garage and is directly above the Civic Center/UN Plaza BART station. OH, AND DID YOU KNOW? Mamma Mia!: was written by British playwright Catherine Johnson, based on the songs of ABBA with music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Bjrn Ulvaeus, former members of the band. Although the title of the musical is taken from the groups 1975 charttopper Mamma Mia, the plot is ctional, not biographical. On any given day, there are at least seven performances of Mamma Mia! being performed around the globe. As of 2011, the musical has been performed in sixteen languages: English, German, Norwegian, Japanese, Dutch, Flemish, Korean, Spanish,
Swedish, Russian, French, Danish, Italian, Portuguese, Indonesian and Chinese. A lm adaptation starring Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, Amanda Seyfried, Christine Baranski and Julie Walters was released in July 2008. *** CIRQUE DU SOLEILS TOTEM IN SAN JOSE: A COSTUME SPECTACULAR. Costume Designer Kym Barretts fantasmagorical outts for Cirque du Soleils Totem, under the Grand Chapiteau at Taylor Street Bridge in San Jose (just off Guadalupe Parkway/Route 87) from March 2 through April 15, are headliners in their own right, resplendent works merging color, texture and functionality. Barrett said, Costumes are a way of reinforcing the story thats being told, and thats how I primarily see them. I trained as a milliner, and I like the sculptural aspects of fabric. Totem has Evolution as its theme and Barretts designs adroitly reect the facets of the creation of life and the development of civilizations. Even the cycles of the seasons provide her with inspiration: Neon-bright colors and vivid fabrics lend a summer atmosphere to the Bollywood-inspired beach scene; the abundance of fall is shown in the seed pods and owers of the unicyclists costumes; and two roller-skaters dressed in white and silver help create a winter tableau. To recreate such a broad range of textures, colors and markings

found in nature, Barrett concentrated on the treatment of fabrics rather than on the fabrics themselves. Advanced printing techniques, uorescent pigments, mirror fragments and crystals allowed her to paint on canvases as varied as Lycra and leather, with results that constantly interact with and adapt to the shows ever-changing lighting.

sions based on real ones. McCoy and Waugh, both former stuntmen who have produced adrenaline-fueled sports documentaries like Step into Liquid and Dust to Glory, put their cameras as close to the men as possible. The lm opens awkwardly and somewhat absurdly with them explaining into the camera how they wanted to put the audience in the boots of the soldiers and why acting cant replicate what the SEALs do. Its both a boast of the lms realism and an excuse for its dramatic deciencies. The action revolves around the abduction of a CIA agent (Roselyn Sanchez) in Costa Rica following a terrorist explosion at a school in Cinequest 22. Here are a handful of recommendations. BEL BORBA IS HERE (BEL BORBA AQUI) Documentary Known as The Peoples Picasso in his hometown of Salvador, Bel Borba eclectically represents a rarely seen side of Brazil. For 35 years, he has spread his recognized artwork throughout the 500-year-old urban landscape. The sunny coastal city feeds Borbas artistic vein. Combining talent, simplicity, and nature to create original work, he showcases the forgotten beauty of his country and reminds us there is more to Brazil than favelas, soccer and drug lords in Rio de Janeiro. THE BULLY PROJECT Spotlight Screening Emmy-award winning filmmaker Lee Hirsch creates a powerful and beautiful look at the daily lives of ve kids and their families over the course of a school year. Each represents a different facet of Americas bullying crisis and includes two families devastated by suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus. ing. The setup for the situation at BHS was one that probably occurs tens, if not hundreds of times, at any school daily: a student simply left his email account open on a school computer. However in these brief moments, a bomb threat was allegedly sent to his school administration from his account without his knowledge. Most school environments are secure enough so students feel comfortable staying logged in for a minute or two while they leave the room, but the scare this moment of an unattended email account caused is enough to raise concern. In the time that itd take someone to snap a funny photo or post an embarrassing Tweet, one email claiming Indonesia. The SEALs are dispatched to a rescue mission in Costa Rica, which unspools a global terrorist plot that stretches to Somalia, Mexico and if they dont act fast the United States. The team is led by Lt. Cmdr. Rorke and Special Warfare Operator Chief Dave (theyre referred to only by their rst names), who, in between missions, banter about getting home and Rorkes soon-due child. But such conversations are a tiny, wooden part of Act of Valor, just enough to suggest the basic emotions of fatherhood and the urge for home. The main thrill of the lm, which was written by Kurt Johnstad (300), is its action pieces COME AS YOU ARE (HASTA LA VISTA) Comedy Director Geoffrey Enthoven returns to the festival in ne form with his brilliant new comedy, which deservedly won the Grand Prize of the Americas and the Audience Award at the Montreal World Film Festival. Suburban friends Jozef, Philip and Lars still require considerable assistance from the parents whom they live with. But when they hear of a Spanish brothel that caters to people like us, their families reluctantly agree to let the trio go on vacation. Unfortunately, their driver/caretaker ends up being a gruff, heavyset women who only speaks French, and the mishaps and confrontations only seems to escalate over the course of their journey. MARIACHI GRINGO Comedy Ed (Shawn Ashmore, Iceman in X-Men) realizes his dream of joining the prestigious ranks of the mariachi could never happen in his small Kansas hometown. After befriending a local mariachi who ignites Eds spirit, he packs up his guitar and heads to Mexico. Here, Ed learns its easy to run from your past, but building a future is as difcult as memothat a student had possession of a gun and bomb caused an all-school lockdown and evacuation. Although this was an extreme case, personal privacy (and in this case, more) is at risk every time a student forgets to log out of an account or accidentally saves a password on any given site. For the most part, this risk is not taken advantage of as a result of basic judgment and human decency. But after the extent of the risk made evident by BHS, it has come into question whether administrators should punish students for any invasion of Internet or technological privacy, just as theyd punish a student for theft of material possessions.

Just barely a movie, Act of Valor is more like a high-quality recruitment video with interstitial acting. Sissy things like plot and character development arent worthy of the mission. Its as though theyve been chased out of the theater by a barking drill sergeant. Instead of narrative and story, Act of Valor takes its propulsion from its verisimilitude. The lm, directed by Mike Mouse McCoy and Scott Waugh, was made in collaboration with the Navy, and stars active duty SEALs in mis-
chiey the storming of a jungle compound in Costa Rica and a raid of a tunnel system at the Mexico border. The former is a remarkable sequence that captures the extreme precision of an elaborate mission fusing parachuting, overhead drones, an amphibious approach, sniper shooting and a swift boat getaway. The directors follow such scenes shot with real ammunition with worshipful awe and a reverence for their bravery. The SEALs, from whose point of view we often see as in a video game, have a preternatural calm in battle. Through the duration of the lm, they wont make a single error. In baritone voices, they speak almost entirely in jargon. rizing hundreds of mariachi songs. The spunky and beautiful Lilia (Martha Higareda, Street Kings) helps the gringo resettle and adjust, while fueling herself with his passion to make her dreams come true. Mariachi Gringo spotlights classic mariachi songs, transporting you to a villa in the heart of Guadalajara. WORTH THE WEIGHT Comedy One would think at 411 pounds everyone would notice you, but former football player Sam Roberts (Robbie Kaller, Domino) weight makes him invisible to women. Cassie, Sams personal trainer, cant live by the words she preaches. While training Sam through his weight loss, she runs away from what truly makes her happy. She teaches Sam healthy lifestyle choices, yet cant break her chain smoking habit. Making relationship choices based on what should make her happy, she doesnt realize his sweat and sufferings are a ght for her affection. With the comical backhanded support from his friends and rediscovery of his motivation, you will wish, for his sake, she is worth the wait. As use of technology in the academic environment increases, school administrations must constantly consider and amend its school policy. For now, cases of embarrassing status updates and wall posts should not be called criminal, but a students online privacy should be protected like all other elements of security. Perhaps, though, itd be best to start with not leaving ones account logged in at the computer lab.

dissolution of its joint department with Belmont. TriData suggested looking at Redwood City Station 12 near the San Carlos border, county Station 18 on Edmonds Road near Crestview Drive and Station 16 on Alameda de las Pulgas. Each station only averages one to two service calls per day and collectively costs their respective cities or county $7.5 million per year. At the time, Redwood City Fire Chief Jim Skinner and San Carlos ofcials agreed their hybrid department was the priority but the council also agreed to an annual review of the department and future opportunities. Now is that time. During his State of the City address Thursday night, Mayor Andy Klein cited greater government efciency as a key to a sustainable budget and called out further fire consolidation as a primary opportunity. In the last few weeks, the city managers and Deputy County Manager Peggy Jensen have been meeting and
showed interest in consolidation, Moura said. Another consideration in those talks is what the new stations might look like how many firefighters from each agency? Engines, trucks or light-duty vehicles? Improve the existing stations or start from scratch with a modern facility? Moura thinks consolidation might not stop there. Who knows? This discussion in San Carlos coupled with the work the county is doing might trigger some discussions with other cities, Moura said. Supervisor Don Horsley is excited by the idea of consolidation and cites it as preferable to a re fee or tax to close the countys own $1 million to $2 million decit for Cal Fire service. Its a better way to go instead of asking people to fork up more money, he said. Station 18 in particular is on his radar. Unless someone can show me a diminution of services, I think in the long run this is a model of the way to go with municipalities, Horsley said. Supervisor Adrienne Tissier is also a fan of the discussions and thinks they may be a way to revisit the idea of a conspeaking incoherently and having trouble seeing, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. Cardona took the De Anza Boulevard exit, lost control of the sport utility vehicle and crashed into the Fire Station 27. Her 17-year-old daughter required nine stitches in the face. Cardonas blood alcohol level, tested 90 minutes after the crash, was .31. In December, Cardona pleaded no contest to driving while intoxicated and child endangerment in return for no more than four years in prison. On top of the two-year, eight-month sentence imposed Friday, Cardona also had her drivers license suspended a year but was not ordered to pay restitution for the damage she caused at the re station, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Ayres is thought to have Alzheimers disease-related dementia which his defense attorney argued during the competency trial roughly a year ago left him unable to aid in his own defense or even remember key pieces of information in his case. Prosecutor Melissa McKowan never disputed Ayres likely has some dementia and early Alzheimers disease but asked a jury to believe his mind was not hopelessly impaired. Doctors at the state hospital recently
Wanderlust would provide an intriguing double feature with the acclaimed indie drama Martha Marcy May Marlene. Both are about people who search for their true selves in woodsy communes, get sucked into the brainwashing and insularity by a charismatic leader and eventually struggle to escape. One of these lms contains poop jokes. Guess which one it is. Yes, Wanderlust proudly wears its sketch-comedy origins on its sleeve (except for the communes resident nudist, that is), and that means the gags are as hit-and-miss as youd imagine. David Wain (Role Models) directs from a script he cowrote with longtime friend and collaborator Ken Marino, but its clear that a lot of improv took place, as well. Thats the bread and butter for these guys and their cast members, with whom theyve worked in the past on TV (The State, Childrens Hospital) and in movies (Wet Hot American Summer, The Ten). Some jokes get hammered into the ground repeatedly; others go on well past the point of cringe-inducing awkwardness, which is the point. But some do reach the levels of brilliant, unfettered lunacy to which they aspire. One extended scene had me curled up in a ball in my seat, watching through splayed ngers across my eyes. Nothing gory happens its just Paul Rudd talking to himself in the bathroom mirror but its wonderfully, agonizingly weird, and a great showcase of his ability to be daring as well as likable. Rudd and Jennifer Aniston co-star as George and Linda, a happily married couple struggling to make do in Manhattan. But like so many Americans the past few years, they lose their jobs and nd they can no longer afford the apartment they just bought (Linda Lavin is perfectly dry as their real estate agent). Reluctantly, they drive down to Atlanta to stay with Georges blowhard brother, Rick (Marino), who lives in a McMansion with his obnoxious son and self-medicating wife (Michaela Watkins, who nds the delicacy in teetering on the brink of coming unhinged). Along the way, though, they stop for the night at a bed and breakfast in northern Georgia. Turns out the place is a hippie enclave called Elysium, run by the self-appointed, self-satised guru Seth. (Justin Theroux is awesomely arrogant in the role and virtually unrecognizable beneath his Christ-like hair and beard). The air is thick with pot smoke and the sound of didgeridoos and the scent of patchouli, and George and Linda dont quite t in at rst. But they end up liking it there so much and liking the version of themselves that its permissiveness brings out that they end up staying for a couple weeks. This sets up all kinds of sh-out-of-water antics, especially for Rudd, who serves as the straight man at the center of these zany caricatures. Kathryn Hahn, Lauren Ambrose, Jordan Peele, Kerri KenneySilver, Alan Alda and a startlingly naked Joe Lo Truglio all get chances to shine. There is no real momentum, though, but rather a series of moments: George feels uncomfortable shouting out his emotions. George feels uncomfortable having people watch him on the toilet. George feels uncomfortable with Elysiums freelove philosophy even though he has an opportunity to sleep with the gorgeous Eva (a game Malin Akerman). Linda, whos bounced around throughout her adult life trying various jobs without ever feeling fullled, nds a spiritual home here and wants to move in for good. What will become of their marriage which is never really in question, this is a comedy, after all provides a minimal amount of tension. Your expectations are crucial here. If youre looking for structure, cohesion and narrative drive, youll be frustrated and maybe even a little bored. If you can be as open-minded as the drugged-up denizens of Elysium, then its all good, brother. Wanderlust, a Universal Pictures release, is rated R for sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use. Running time: 98 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2012 PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)You could achieve some ample material gains, especially in an arrangement where you are doing business with someone who is of the opposite gender. ARIES (March 21-April 19)Youd be better off managing a critical matter yourself rather than giving the assignment to someone who has never done the job before. At least youll know what youre doing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)It could give you a wonderful feeling to do something for a loved one without thought of sacrifice. Follow the dictates of your compassion.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)Dont be reluctant to express your gratitude to someone who has been kind to you just because you think it may show weakness on your part. On the contrary, it shows appreciation and strength of character. CANCER (June 21-July 22)Some kind of friendly competition will prove to be an enjoyable experience for you. Youll have so much fun that whether you win or lose, youll do it with grace. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Dont get upset if your ears start ringing, because any talk about you is likely to be quite complimentary, and youll hear about it later. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)If you feel there is a chance you might not have shown the proper consid-
eration to a loved one lately, you should find a way to make amends. Hugs and kisses generally work well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)When your mate needs a bit of cheering up, it behooves you to show a little extra consideration and appreciation for who he or she is. That can generally put the relationship back on course. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)Youre entering a cycle in which situations that affect your work or earnings are likely to start showing some improvement. If it hasnt happened yet, it should be occurring soon. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)If youre an unattached Sagittarian who has been hoping to find someone special, get out and circulate, with an eye
to where the nice people generally hang out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You have a special gift for being able to conclude matters successfully, in ways where no one is likely to feel shortchanged. Do so when a situation calls for it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)Go out of your way to compliment someone who is deserving of it. Your comments could prove to be more important to that person than you may realize. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
