San Mateo County ranked second
to last in a new assessment of food

considerations such as how many
undocumented residents can’t quali-

Henry offered the man $40, but the sus-

Hess worked for three years at a

Accused killer now eligible for death penalty
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The man accused of fatally stabbing anoth-
er man on the Mills High School tennis courts
in a dispute over a woman is now eligible for
the death penalty after prosecutors yesterday
charged him with lying in wait for the victim.
Laungatasi Samana Ahio, 21, was already
facing 16 years to life in prison if convicted of
murder and the use of a knife in the death of
Jared Afu, 19, just before midnight Aug. 4,
2010. On Wednesday, prosecutor Joe Cannon
added the special allegation which makes the
death a capital crime. If convicted, Ahio faces
life in prison without parole or the death
penalty.
“This certainly changes things,” said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
After the amendment, defense attorney Ed
Pomeroy asked for a delay in yesterday’s pre-
liminary hearing. The hearing is now set for
April 28.
The District Attorney’s Office needs time,
LOCAL
too, to decide if it will pur-
sue death.
Ahio, then 20, is accused
of stabbing Afu several
times in the face and neck.
Authorities found Afu near
the tennis courts of the
Millbrae high school and
soon pronounced him dead
Laungatasi but Ahio remained at large
Ahio until the following evening
when he turned himself in
to the South San Francisco Police
Department.
Earlier that night, police said Ahio began
following Afu as he walked and smoked with
friends. At some point, Ahio and Afu became
separated from their respective friends and
confronted each other over a “personal issue.”
Afu’s friends reported seeing him stabbed by
Ahio around 11:30 p.m. The next afternoon, a
bloodied backpack containing identification
and a bloody knife was discovered a block
from the school, on the side of the New Vision
United Methodist Church on Chadbourne
Avenue.
While the prosecution prepared for the pre-
liminary hearing, it discovered evidence indi-
cating Ahio waited until Afu was alone before
striking, Wagstaffe said.
Authorities have suggested Ahio killed Afu
over jealousy involving a girlfriend who he
was convicted of battering earlier this year. On
May 29, Millbrae police arrested Ahio for
allegedly battering and falsely imprisoning his
girlfriend. On July 29, he pleaded no contest
to misdemeanor battery in return for credit for
time served, 104 hours of counseling and
three years probation.
Pomeroy could not be reached for com-
ment.
Ahio has pleaded not guilty to Afu’s death.
He remains in custody without bail.

College district discussing another bond measure
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
San Mateo County Community College
District officials are continuing to consider a
$300 million to $500 million bond measure.
Since 2001, the college district has had a
clear vision for updating facilities. In
November, Chancellor Ron Galatolo suggest-
ed studying a bond measure to finish projects
like science and other academic buildings
while creating a trust to fund equipment
updates for 10 or more years. Studying the
idea was given the go-ahead at the time but
has yet to occur.
On Saturday, the Board of Trustees will dis-
cuss a potential bond measure.
The district’s original push came in hopes of
sharing election costs by potentially placing a
measure on the all-mail special county elec-
tion in May. However, the district learned a
bond measure requires a 55 percent passage
rate only on a statewide ballot, said district
spokeswoman Barbara Christensen.
Otherwise, the passage rate increases to two-
thirds.
Galatolo originally requested the conversa-
tion since the district made a master plan
which counted on over $50 million in state
bonds that never became available.
In addition, the district lost about $25 mil-
lion of bond funds in 2008 due to the bank-
ruptcy of Lehman Brothers. The district had
the money invested in a San Mateo County
investment fund, which lost approximately
$150 million when the company went under.
Now, the district is short funds it planned to
use, he explained.
Voters have generally supported the college
district and education in general in San Mateo
County. The college district has two bond
measures — Measure C, a $207 million bond
in 2001, and Measure A, a $468 million bond
in 2005 — and a $34 per $100,000 assessed
value annual parcel tax, Measure G, which
should generate $6 million annually for four
years.
The board meets 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 12 at
the Cañada Vista Club House, 3 Olive Court
in Redwood City.

and three printers, valued at a total of $1,000,

Assessor’s Office gets high marks
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Former county assessor Warren
Slocum appears to have left his house in
order.
Most properties in San Mateo County
are assessed properly and the overall
quality of the $143 billion assessment
roll meets state standards, according to a
Board of Equalization report released
yesterday.
The review, which is conducted once
every five years, looked at the Assessor’s
Office overall and random samplings of
the 238,972 assessments on the 2008-09
roll. Slocum headed the office during
that time and his response to the survey
is included in the final report. Former
county supervisor Mark Church took
over the position after Slocum’s retire-
ment.

The California utility under fire follow-

mended, according to state audits released
Wednesday.
State regulators have been probing safe-

Despite the high marks, 10 improve-

In his September reply, Slocum also
pointed out the office would begin in
January assessing late penalties and
must better identify agricultural proper-

Land Conservation Act.
Slocum disagreed with the recommen-
dation of personal property tax audits on
small apartments, saying it would be
burdensome and confusing for the own-
ers of small, multi-unit residential build-
ings. He also disagreed with how the
Board of Equalization suggests apprais-
ing the average aircraft.
The review also offered a snapshot of
how the assessment roll has grown in
past years. In 2004-05, the total value
was $105,318,467,000. The subsequent
years saw the figure jump between 7.5
percent and 8 percent annually until
reaching $143,149,312,000 in 2008-09.
In comparison to that 8 percent increase,
the state saw 4.7 percent that year.

Berkeley considers inviting
Guantanamo detainees
Berkeley officials are considering
inviting Guantanamo detainees to live in
the city. The City Council is scheduled
to vote next week on a resolution that
would extend a formal invitation to any
detainees at the U.S. naval base who
have been cleared of wrongdoing. The
city is eyeing two detainees — Djamel
Ameziane, an Algerian chef, and Ravil
Mingazov, a Russian ballet dancer.
Mingazov moved from Russia to
Afghanistan and then Pakistan to escape
harassment from the KGB, the former

Brown drops plan to sell buildings
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California
Gov. Jerry Brown announced
Wednesday he is dropping a plan
hatched by former Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger to sell 24 state
government buildings to private
investors because the high cost of
rent did not make sense for taxpay-
ers.
The state had been in negotiations
to sell the properties for $2.3 billion
and use the proceeds after paying
off construction bonds to help close
the state’s general fund budget
deficit. Under a deal approved by
lawmakers, the state would have
continued using the space by enter-
ing into a 20-year lease with the
new owners.
The Associated Press reported in
April that the deal would end up
costing the state $5.2 billion in rent
over 20 years, likely saddling tax-
payers with costs beyond whatever
the state would net from the sale.
That assessment was confirmed by
the nonpartisan Legislative
Analyst’s Office, which found the
sale shifts taxpayer costs to the
future. The state controller and
treasurer also opposed the sale.

Gov. Jerry Brown says he is dropping a plan hatched by Arnold
Schwarzenegger to sell 24 state government buildings.
“No doubt there’s a huge budget
deficit and the Legislature and the
governor tried to do everything they
could, but it’s still very daunting,”
Brown said Wednesday. “The sale
of the buildings really didn’t really
make much sense. It didn’t make
much sense because it in effect is a
gigantic loan with interest pay-
ments.”
Brown said selling and renting
from federal restrictions.

back the space amounted to a 10
percent loan and that the sale would
have been “the ultimate in kicking
the can down the road.”
The AP also reported in April that
the Schwarzenegger administration
quietly removed appointees from
two oversight bodies that must sign
off on the sale, replacing critics of
the move with people who support
it. The move was made as the state
private funds, which means research
in the labs is not subject to federal
restrictions on embryonic stem
cells.
Bush administration limits were
loosened by President Obama,
prompting a federal lawsuit that has
began taking bids on the properties,
quashing any dissent or independent
financial studies that might have
emerged as the sale moved forward.
Properties that were put up for
sale included the Ronald Reagan
office building in downtown Los
Angeles, the San Francisco Civic
Center, which houses the state
Supreme Court, and buildings in
downtown Sacramento that house
the attorney general’s office and
state Department of Education.
Cancelling the sale means Brown
will have to cover a $1.2 billion gap
that was expected to be filled by the
sale’s proceeds. His administration
is proposing taking out short-term
loans from special funds for less
than a 1 percent interest rate — a
“fraction of the cost,” Brown said.
He estimated his plan to borrow
from Medi-Cal, prison construction
bonds and other state resources
would be paid back over three years
at a cost of about $18 million. Such
a maneuver would save the state $6
billion over 35 years compared with
Schwarzenegger’s proposal, Brown
said.
The governor added he expected
to be able to pull out of the sale
without a legal fight.

proceed.
The university says the Dolbys
gave $36 million, the state’s voter-
approved stem cell fund $35 million
and The Eli and Edythe Broad
Foundation $25 million, with $12
million left to raise.

New drilling method
opens vast oil fields in U.S.
A new drilling technique is open-

decline in domestic production of
crude.
Companies are investing billions
of dollars to get at oil deposits scat-

Colorado, Texas and California. By
2015, oil executives and analysts
say, the new fields could yield as
much as 2 million barrels of oil a

This new drilling is expected to

Strokes are rising fast among young
By Marilynn Marchione
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Strokes are rising dra-
matically among young and middle-aged
Americans while dropping in older people, a
sign that the obesity epidemic may be starting
to shift the age burden of the disease.
The numbers, reported Wednesday at an
American Stroke Association conference,
come from the first large nationwide study of
stroke hospitalizations by age. Government
researchers compared hospitalizations in 1994
and 1995 with ones in 2006 and 2007.
The sharpest increase — 51 percent — was
among men 15 through 34. Strokes rose
among women in this age group, too, but not
as fast — 17 percent.
“It’s definitely alarming,” said Dr. Ralph
Sacco, American Heart Association president
and a neurologist at the University of Miami.
“We have worried for a while that the
increased prevalence of obesity in children
and young adults may take its toll in cardio-
vascular disease and stroke,” and that appears
to be happening, he said.
Global warming heats up Republican attacks on EPA

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Vowing to curb the
authority and the budget of the Environmental
Protection Agency, congressional Republicans
are attacking the agency to a degree not seen
since President Richard Nixon created it 40
years ago.
The EPA’s effort to tackle the latest and per-
haps most challenging environmental problem
— global warming — has made it a central tar-
get of the new Republican leadership’s anti-reg-
ulatory agenda. Having failed last year to enact
new legislation to curb global warming, the

For every 10,000 hospitalizations in 1994-

15 to 34 years old
• 17 percent,from 3.6 to 4.2,in females 15

Stroke still takes its highest toll on older
people. For those over 65, there were nearly
300 stroke cases among 10,000 hospitaliza-
tions in the more recent period studied. For
males 15 to 34, there were about 15 stroke
cases per 10,000, and for girls and women in

looked at the percentage of all hospitalizations

“The increases seen in children are very

Better awareness of stroke symptoms and
better imaging methods for detecting strokes
in young people could account for some of
that change, but there is no way to know, she
said.
Trends went the opposite way in older peo-
ple. Strokes dropped 25 percent among men

mainly farmers, set barricades of
flaming palm trees in the southern

then drove off the governor by pelt-

Hundreds of slum dwellers in the

Workers “were motivated to strike

Getting California smarter on crime
— Long Beach Press-Telegram
C
alifornia’s sentencing and
parole policies are based on
the assumption that if you
release prisoners, they will commit
more crimes. Today, all too often, it’s
true.
But it doesn’t have to be. California

recidivism while making us all safer
and trimming hundreds of millions of
dollars from its prison budget. And
Kamala Harris, its new attorney gener-

of not just prisons but our overall
approach to crime.
In 2009, as San Francisco’s district
attorney, Harris wrote the book on the
subject. Literally. “Smart on Crime: A
Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us
Safer” is not scintillating reading, but it
is full of useful insights that in the long
run can cut prison costs and, most
important, reduce crime.

Union pensions didn’t cause the finan-
cial meltdown in this country, greedy
executives and politicians did. The tril-
lions of dollars spent for a bailout didn’t
go to union workers. It went to the
bankers and mortgage holders whose
criminality created the problem.
Incidentally, much of it went to those
same people in the form of bonuses
before the ink even dried on the legisla-
tion.
It’s time someone looked at executive
pensions, salaries and bonuses and com-

pensions. Then take a look at per diem,

entire prison budget is $9 billion, and
the deficit stands at $25 billion. But
that’s no reason to neglect the potential
to cut that cost, particularly if the
method increases public safety rather
than the opposite.
Harris’ best ideas are simple. One is
to stop treating violent and nonviolent
criminals alike.
It costs Californians about $40,000 a
year each to house 165,000 inmates in
our state prisons and about $10,000 for
every felony conviction. And it’s a
revolving door: 70 percent of prisoners
return to jail after having been released.
That’s the highest rate in the United
States — and the U.S. overall has the
highest recidivism rate in the world.
Yet California spends nearly as much
on its prisons as it does on higher edu-
cation. Harris suggests that prison costs
would plummet if the state greatly
expanded programs to teach employ-
ment and accountability skills to nonvi-
olent inmates and high-risk juvenile
offenders.

perspective in the Feb. 3 edition of the

to kill our society. We must get the big
picture for the county and get some dedi-

tors on this.
The extent of our pension liability for
the county’s workers as a whole is going
to scare the living daylight out of all of
us. Catch 22 and our bottom line, you
tax some more and businesses will just
disappear and you just killed the — only
— golden goose, you possibly can
expect in the shape of a booming econo-
my. Spending must come down.
Pension contracts must be renegotiated
and liability must not be owned by the
taxpayer. CalPERS must rebuild their

In the meantime, we are wasting time

She has a track record. In San
Francisco, she convinced employers to
partner with her Back on Track pro-
gram, which costs about $5,000 a year
per participant, a fraction of the cost of
housing an inmate. The recidivism rate
of participants is 10 percent compared
with 54 percent for what Harris called a
“comparable population of offenders.”
The program was flawed initially in
that it included illegal immigrants, who
were taught skills for jobs they couldn’t
legally hold. But that was addressed,
and Republican Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger in 2010 cited Back on
Track as a model for counties to emu-
late.
California’s current approach to pris-
ons cannot be sustained. State prisons
are so overcrowded that if the popula-
tion isn’t reduced by a quarter in two
years, the federal courts say they will
order the release of inmates. If that hap-
pened today, the prisoners released
would not have the training they need
to succeed as law-abiding citizens.
Starting now with Back on Track could
create a pool of inmates whose release
will not present a public threat or add
to public costs.

bankrupt and plans on closing stations
and cutting back on service.
Why, given these facts, does the City
Council continue working to approve
more transit-based, high density hous-
ing? It certainly does not benefit San
Mateo residents. It will only add more
cars to our already clogged and crum-
bling streets, and actually increases vehi-

A legitimate question
W
hat criteria makes somebody a legitimate political
candidate? Is it a certain amount of money in the
war chest? The right connections? Previous expe-
rience holding office? Reams of endorsements? Sheer name
recognition? A high-end campaign manager?
Seven people expressed interest in the District One county
supervisor seat. Six actually quali-
fied for the ballot. And over and
over again, there is reference to the
“legitimate candidates” — namely
four folks who currently hold
elected office on either a council or
a school board.
Michael Stogner who?
Demetrios Nikas what?
These two men might as well
have stayed home and saved every-
one the trouble, according to the
sentiment of candidates who dis-
miss them, voters who haven’t yet
paid much attention and event
organizers who profess not even knowing they’re in the run-
ning.
In any case, all six names will be in the same ink and the
same font on the May 3 all-mail ballot. Any support or back
story to the candidates will not be included even if their
names ringing any bells will largely be because of the public-
ity brought by money and endorsements. On that document
though, each of these candidates will not appear any less than
the other.
Elections, though, aren’t about those personal moments in
the voting booth or facing a line of circles on an absentee bal-
lot, really. Elections are about the campaign season when
candidates square off at forums, on doorsteps, in newsprint
and through any combination of literature and television
propaganda. There are endorsements and donations and
resumes — all of which are meant to sway voters into believ-
ing they are the right guy or gal for the job at hand.
This approach often makes the most sense. With nothing
else to go on, or maybe even with some data, a weighty list
of endorsements and experience does mean something.
Frankly, drawing lines between who the public would cate-
gorize as a legitimate candidate and everybody else is nothing
new. Sometimes the “others” are simply candidates who
don’t fall into those two stalwarts, Republican and Democrat.
Remember the flack Ross Perot received with this first stab at
giving voters another option — how dare he come between
the red and blue?
Or, better yet, remember any of the Green Party, the Peace
and Freedom Party, the Libertarian Party candidates from
elections past?
No? Probably didn’t register on many voters’ radar at the
time, yet alone months and years later. The Tea Party con-
gressional winner might be an exception.
Of course, the “others” are sometimes the crazies and
admittedly this newspaper has dealt with candidates who’ve
flirted with paranoia, gone underground, felt The Man was
out to get them and pretty much refused to participate in the
process.
The others can be the perpetual candidates, although
Libertarian Jack Hickey’s spot on the Sequoia Healthcare
Board is proof that try, try again can work.
They can be the youngsters, the porn stars, the unem-
ployed, the — well, anything — who took their shot during a
chaotic California recall election.
Some might even think they are third party alternatives
with strong name recognition but only running as a spoiler,
intended or not. Think Ralph Nader pitting himself against
George W. Bush and Al Gore for the U.S. presidency. Closer
to home, recall Lou Papan throwing his hat in against Mike
Nevin and Leland Yee for state Senate.
Any of these individuals would be hard-pressed to call
themselves anything less than a proper contender, regardless
of how they are perceived.
Running for office is time-consuming, expensive and hard.
It’s a wonder anybody makes the effort, no matter what cate-
gory they may fall. It’s also no wonder those vying for office
and those planning forums and endorsements don’t want to
waste their valuable time dealing with candidates who they
feel won’t discuss pressing issues or have a snowball’s
chance in securing a win.
Dismissing them, though, is a disservice to the local elec-
tions process. The system doesn’t give weight to candidates
with deeper pockets and wider circles of friends. The elec-
toral college is a different matter, admittedly.
The so-called “real” candidates are also doing a disservice
to themselves. What happens if one of the folks they ignore
manages to sneak into the winner’s circle when they weren’t
paying attention?
In the end, candidates will make their own decisions about
who to acknowledge and who to worry about. Event organiz-
ers and endorsers will choose who to invite and who to query.
But on Election Day, the only group truly answering the
question of legitimacy is the voters.

Dow ekes out gain
By Matthew Craft

and David K. Randall

S&P 500 1,320.88 -3.69 Gold 1,364.80
NEW YORK — Stocks closed mixed
Wednesday after the head of the Federal
Reserve said unemployment may remain
high for several years. The Dow Jones
industrial average eked out its eighth
straight day of gains, extending its longest
advancing streak in nearly a year.
Major indexes traded lower for much of
the day after Ben Bernanke, the chairman
of the Federal Reserve, told members of
the House of Representatives that the
economy is strengthening but that compa-
nies haven’t yet stepped up hiring. Last
week, the Labor Department said the
unemployment rate dropped to 9 percent
in January.
Bond prices rose following Bernanke’s
testimony, reversing a slump that had
pushed yields up to their highest levels
since April. The yield on the 10-year
Treasury note, which moves opposite to
its price, fell to 3.66 from 3.74 late
Tuesday.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
6.74 points, or 0.1 percent, to 12,239.8.
The Dow has had only one down day in
the last 11, on Jan. 28 when the protests in
Egypt escalated. It last finished with eight
straight days of gains in March 2010.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 lost 3.69
points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,320.88. It
was the first down day for the index
‘Guitar Hero’ game gets the ax
Big movers
THE DAY MUSIC (GAMES) DIED:
Activision Blizzard Inc. is pulling the
plug on“Guitar Hero,”one of the most
influential video game titles of the
new century.
WHY? Music games,including“Guitar
Hero” and “Rock Band,” have been
unprofitable of late. Viacom Inc. sold
its money-losing unit behind the
“Rock Band”games to an investment
firm late last year.

Cisco earnings fall 18 percent in second quarter
By Peter Svensson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Cisco Systems Inc.,
the world’s largest maker of computer-
networking equipment, said Wednesday
that its net income fell 18 percent in the
latest quarter, and it provided a disap-
pointing forecast for the current quarter.
Cisco’s stock plummeted in after-
hours trading, replaying its movement
after the company reported its earnings
Wall Street
after four days of gains.
The Nasdaq composite lost 7.98, or 0.3
percent, to 2,789.07.
Two members of the Dow index report-
ed better than expected earnings. Coca-
Cola Co. said its income more than
tripled last quarter, helped by the acquisi-
tion of a bottler and selling more drinks in
North America. The stock rose 0.4 per-
cent.
Walt Disney Co. jumped 5.3 percent
after reporting strong earnings after the
market closed Tuesday. The company
beat expectations thanks to higher rev-
enues at its ABC and ESPN networks.
Disney helped push consumer discre-
tionary stocks in the S&P index up 0.6
percent, the largest gain of any of the 10
company groups that make up the index.
American International Group Inc. fell
3 percent after saying it expects to take a
charge of $4.1 billion to build up reserves
against losses for its Chartis property and
casualty insurance units.
NYSE Euronext Inc., the parent com-
pany of the exchange, issued a statement
confirming that it was in advanced talks
with Germany’s stock exchange,
Deutsche Boerse, about a possible combi-
nation. The plan being discussed would
create a company 60 percent owned by
Deutsche Boerse shareholders with dual
headquarters in Frankfurt and New York.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — These days, guns are
more popular than guitars, at least when it
comes to video games. The company
behind “Guitar Hero” said Wednesday
that it is pulling the plug on one of the
most influential video titles of the new
century.
Activision Blizzard Inc., which also
produces the “Call of Duty” series, is end-
ing the “Guitar Hero” franchise after a run
of nearly six years.
The move follows Viacom Inc.’s deci-
sion in November to sell its money-losing
unit behind the “Rock Band” video
games. Harmonix was sold to an invest-
ment firm for an undisclosed sum.
Harmonix, incidentally, was behind the
first “Guitar Hero” game.
for the previous quarter. The shares were
down $2.14, or 9.7 percent, to $19.89.
Cisco said it earned $1.5 billion, or 27
cents per share, in its fiscal second quar-
ter, which ended Jan. 29. That compares
with $1.9 billion, or 32 cents per share,
in the same quarter a year ago.
Excluding items and the cost of stock-
based compensation, Cisco earned 37
cents per share, 2 cents more than the
average forecast of analysts polled by
FactSet.

Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded
heavily Wednesday on the New York Stock
Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
Walt Disney Co.,up $2.18 at $43.36
The media company beat earnings
expectations thanks to higher television ad
revenue and strong performance at its theme
parks.
Polo Ralph Lauren Corp.,up $9.58 at $125.35
The high-end retailer beat Wall Street earnings
expectations and said that it would double its
dividend to 20 cents a share.
Ingersoll-Rand Plc,down $2.78 at $46.25
Wall Street analysts expected stronger fourth-
quarter growth and a higher profit outlook than
the maker of industrial products reported.
NYSE Euronext Inc.,up $4.69 at $38.10
The stock exchange operator said it was in
“advanced discussions”about combining with
Germany’s Deutsche Boerse AG.
Wells Fargo & Co.,down 97 cents at $33.13
The bank unexpectedly announced that its CFO
would immediately step down for “personal
reasons.”The board chose a company executive
to replace him.
NASDAQ
Smith Micro Software Inc.,down $4.56 at $8.50
The company suspended its 2011 revenue
guidance because orders for its core connection
manager product will fall below expected levels.
Buffalo Wild Wings Inc.,up $6.11 at $53.50
The casual restaurant chain that serves up fried
chicken wings posted higher quarterly results,
beating Wall Street estimates.
Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.,up 22 cents
at $14.76
The publisher of video games such as “Grand
Theft Auto”and“NBA 2K11”said strong holiday
sales helped boost quarterly profit.
Game industry analysts have long
lamented the “weakness in the music
genre,” as they call it — that is, the inabil-
ity of the games’ makers to drum up
demand for the products after a surge in
popularity in the mid-2000s. Music games
are often more expensive than your typical
shoot-em up game because they require
guitars, microphones and other musical
instruments. While extra songs can be
purchased for download, this isn’t enough
to keep the games profitable.
Activision’s shares tumbled after the
announcement, but investors were more
concerned with the disappointing finan-
cial forecast from the company than the
demise of “Guitar Hero.” As far as
investors go, discontinuing an unprof-
itable product isn’t the end of the world,
even if “Guitar Hero” fans disagree.
Revenue at the San Jose-based compa-
ny was $10.4 billion, up 6 percent from
$9.8 billion a year ago. Analysts were
expecting $10.3 billion.
The company warned late last year
that sales to government customers were
dropping off. Cisco CEO John
Chambers said he expected that trend to
continue. In addition, the company saw
sales of one of its core products, network
switches, decline by 7 percent over the
previous year.

Moments after Jefferson’s Kyani Harris hit
an improbable shot at the buzzer to give the
Indians a stunning 48-47 win over host
Carlmont, a reporter was furiously scribbling
in his notepad when Harris said, to no one in
particular, “Man, that was lucky.”
That is the only way to describe Harris’
heroics because, in truth, his shot had no busi-
ness going in. After Carlmont’s Taylor
Crawford hit a baseline jumper to put the
Scots up 47-46, Jefferson called timeout with
5.9 seconds to play. The Indians inbounded
the ball to Harris, who made his way up court
and began a drive to the basket.
James Testa’s defense forced Harris well
outside the key, however, and with just tenths
of a second left on the clock, Harris went up
and used a two-handed push shot toward the
hoop. The ball kissed off the glass and
dropped through the net at the buzzer for the
win.
“I just threw up something and it went in,”
Harris said.
The victory assures Jefferson (7-2 PAL
Ocean) no less than a co-championship in the
Peninsula Athletic League’s Ocean Division
and a win over Mills Friday would give the
Indians an outright division crown.
It should not come as too much of a surprise
that Jefferson finds itself atop the Ocean
Division standings. Four of the five starters
helped lead the Jefferson frosh-soph team to a
division title two years ago. After a year of
adjusting to the varsity level, those players are
back on top.
Harris’ bucket offset another huge night for
Carlmont’s Testa, who scored a game-high 28
points and pulled down eight rebounds. The
Scots’ chances at a win took a big hit when
post player Robyn Todd was forced to the
bench early in the third quarter with foul trou-
ble. He scored six points in the first half — in
the process showing off a wicked spin move
in the post — but without Todd down low, it

Wake Forest baseball coach donates kidney to player
By Paul Newberry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — There they sat, side by side, the
baseball coach and his freshman outfielder,
adorned in matching black-and-gold warm-up
suits.
Thankfully, the attire wasn’t their only match.
Even though his right side was still tender and
sore, Kevin Jordan hasn’t felt this good since last
February, when a mysterious illness began sap-
ping his strength and eventually caused his kid-
neys to shut down.
To his right was Wake Forest coach Tom Walter,
who has always considered his players to be like
family. No one will ever doubt the sincerity of
those words. Not after he gave up one of his
healthy kidneys so the 19-year-old Jordan would
have a shot at a normal, healthy life.
“I’m just really thankful,” the teenager said at a
NATHAN MOLLAT / DAILY JOURNAL
news conference Wednesday, two days after the
coach’s kidney was transplanted in him at Emory
University Hospital. “This is as good as it gets. I
don’t have words for it right now.”
Walter had volunteered to be tested after he
learned of Jordan’s illness, which forced Jordan to
hook up to a dialysis machine for nine hours each
night. As it became more likely Walter’s kidney
might be needed, the Wake Forest compliance
officer checked with the NCAA to make sure there

PAL’s best
hit the mat
T
here is a perception that wrestling
in the Peninsula Athletic League is
not very good. That’s not really
true. While the depth in the PAL may be
lacking for all but a few squads, there is
actually quite a bit of wrestling talent in San
Mateo County.
In fact, if someone made an all-star team
of Peninsula talent, it would certainly be in
the running for a Central Coast Section team
title.
Most of it (not counting Serra) will be on
display at Burlingame High Saturday when
the PAL wrestling championships take
place. South City, the PAL Bay Division’s
dual-meet champion, and El Camino, Bay
Division runnerup, are
both vying for the
tournament team title.
Following last week’s
South City-El
Camino’s showdown,
both coaches said
their teams are more
successful in tourna-
ments, just because of
the structure — a
chance to wrestle sev-
eral times over the
course of the day,
picking up team
points. In a dual meet, wrestlers get one
shot. If they’re not on their game at that par-
ticular time, they earn no points for their
teams.
Also look for Terra Nova and Half Moon
Bay to factor into the team decision, as well
as Ocean Division champ Menlo-Atherton.
But looking past the team competition, 10
of the 14 PAL schools that offer wrestling
have at least one wrestler ranked in the top
20 in CCS. Leading the pack would be El
Camino’s Brian Ha, who is ranked No. 1 in
CCS at 125 pounds, South City’s Calvin
Nicholls, who is ranked No. 1 at 171
pounds, and El Camino’s Trevor Kelly, who

were no violations of the extra benefits rule.
Not that Walter would have let the threat of pro-
bation stop him.
“I talked it over with our athletic director (Ron
Wellman), and he probably said it best when he
said we were answering to a higher calling on this
one,” Walter said.

Panthers closing in on Bay title

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The soccer gods couldn’t have painted a
better scenario Wednesday afternoon.
Two great teams with identical league
records — one riding a five-game winning
streak, the other looking to redeem itself
against the team responsible for their lone
blemish in the loss column after a heated bat-
tle four weeks ago.
And if that wasn’t enough, the winner
would stand alone atop the Peninsula Athletic
League Bay division.
Yes, the hype was big for yesterday’s boys’
match between Burlingame ((9-1-1) and
Menlo-Atherton (8-2-1) and it lived up to it’s
billing with the Panthers holding off the
Bears, 2-1.
“It was a very big win,” said Burlingame
coach Mike Sharabi. “You like to say that
every game you go into you want to win — it
doesn’t matter if it’s for first place (or the) first
game of the year, you always want to win.
Whether you’re training or in the CCS cham-
pionship. And it’s a very big win. They got the
better of us earlier this season and after that
game we really felt we were going to come
back and work hard and that we would get
them at home and it worked out. It’s just a
very big win and hopefully it leads to bigger
and better things for this fantastic team.”
The Panthers now control their own destiny
with three games left on the league schedule
— and they have their defense to thank for
that.
In the first contest, Burlingame was stun on
two occasions and could not handle the speed
of M-A striker Edgardo Molina. This time
around, Stewart Farley, Giovanny Leyva and
Sebastian Trevino were up to the task.
“We just made sure to stay organized,”
Farley said. “They (M-A) play their two for-
wards out wide a lot of times, so we made sure
someone was on them at all times (and that)
they didn’t get behind us.”
Burlingame seized control of the game in
the 5th minute, capitalizing on a huge mistake
by the M-A backline that left goalkeeper
Jonathan Friedman way out of position. As
the ball rolled aimlessly outside the Bears
penalty box, Andy Gonzalez approached it
and skillfully lobbed the ball over the M-A
defense and into the net for the 1-0 lead.
“That first goal, it shouldn’t have hap-
pened,” said M-A head coach Jacob Pickard.
“No disrespect to Burlingame, but we handed
them the game, we gave it to them. Those two
goals, we handed them to them. They were
there to put them away, so all credit to them
for that, but we handed those goals to them.
We have no one but ourselves to blame.”
With the lead in hand, the Panthers focused
on their defense, doing their best to neutralize
Molina and Enrique Ortiz. Aaron Oro played
solid in the midfield along with Dimas Ayala
in the back. But the Bears lacked that final
pass to spring their forwards.
They thought they had the equalizer in the
closing minute of the first half when Molina
netted a cross. But the referee’s flag was up NATHAN MOLLAT / DAILY JOURNAL

Padres can’t beat the buzzer

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With four seconds left in yesterday’s bas-
ketball contest between Serra and Sacred
Heart Cathedral, Connor McGrath had the
opportunity to right a night full of wrongs for
the Padres.
Serra had dug itself a deep hole through the
first 24 minutes of the contest, shooting only
23 percent from the floor while failing to cap-
italize on 15 Irish turnovers and found them-
selves down by as many as 15.
But with four seconds left on Senior Night
and the basketball, the Padres had a chance to
erase all that.
Unfortunately, the mountain proved to be
too steep and his 3-pointer missed the iron,
dropping the Padres to a tie for third place in
the WCAL with a 44-43 loss.
“It was a bad start,” said Serra coach Chuck
Rapp. “We’ve been getting off to bad starts
and that’s what’s kind of doomed us. We got
to start faster, we have to start better.”
The Padres only hit six field goals in the
first half and only two buckets in the second
quarter — a pair of 3-pointers by Dalyn
Pacheco which kept things within reach for
Serra at the half. Cathedral hadn’t done much
better (11 of 25 shooting), but they had domi-
nated the boards, led by Josh Fox and his five
rebounds.
Down 13 at the break, the Padres still could-
n’t find their rhythm offensively, but turned up
the defensive intensity and looked primed for
a run after McGrath sunk a 14-footer. But the
Irish responded with a back-to-back quick
buckets, a sequence highlighted by a thunder-
ous slam by Fox.
The Padres had trouble with Fox the entire
night. The junior forward finished the contest
with game-high 16 points. Still, Serra
outscored Cathedral by three in the quarter
and were within 10 to start the fourth.
It’s in the fourth that the game transformed
into a heart-pounding event, with Serra roar-
ing all the way back. McGrath’s 3-pointer
with 5:46 cut the Cathedral lead to six points
and Sam Leahy’s first of two bombs in the
fourth cut the deficit to three points with 3:17
left.
With the momentum in hand, Serra would
actually take the lead on Leahy’s second 3-
pointer of the quarter 41-39.
But the Padres did not have an answer for
Fox, who scored six in the fourth frame. All
his baskets came at key moments for the Irish,
but none bigger than his put-back with eight
seconds left in the game.
Serra followed with a turnover on the
inbound that forced them to foul and send
Tyler Petroni to the line for the 1-and-1.
Petroni missed the free throw and Pacheco
collected his 10th rebound of the game.
After the timeout, McGrath received the
inbound pass and raced down the left sideline,
cut toward the center of the court and let off a
desperation 3-pointer that fell short.

Warriors finish long homestand with win

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Monta Ellis scored 37 points,
Dorell Wright had 23 points and 11 rebounds and
the Golden State Warriors beat the short-handed
Denver Nuggets 116-114 on Wednesday night.
David Lee had 16 points and 12 rebounds,
Wright added eight assists and the Warriors
closed out their longest home stretch of the sea-
son in style. They finished 8-6 during a stretch of
13 of 14 at home.
Carmelo Anthony finished with 29 points, and
Nene had 17 points for a Nuggets team playing
without starting point guard Chauncey Billups.
Billups sat out with a strained left knee but
Warriors 116, Nuggets 114
expects to play Wednesday against the Dallas
Mavericks in Denver.
After Denver trimmed a 13-point deficit to
only one, Ellis answered with a 3-pointer with
47.7 seconds remaining to give Golden State a
116-112 lead. J.R Smith came back with a
jumper, and Denver had one final chance to send
it to overtime or win.
But a botched final possession ended with an
errant, step-back shot from Nene that missed —
his only miss of the game after making his first
six shots. Anthony was clearly upset he didn’t get
the ball on the final possession, throwing his head
band to the floor and quickly walking to the lock-
er room.
It was about the worst possible way for Denver
to end the night, and perhaps the best way for
Golden State to close out a long homestand.
While they finished with a winning mark, they
had talked about aiming even higher and trying
to get into the Western Conference playoff pic-
ture. Instead, Golden State (23-28) is still five-
games below .500 and heading into a difficult
part of its schedule.
The Warriors can at least take some momen-
tum with them on the road.
They withstood another strong performance by
Anthony and regained their shooting spark after
a 2-for-18 performance from 3-point range in a
loss against Phoenix on Monday. Golden State
overcame a 10-point deficit early and clamped
down defensively late to pull away from the
Nuggets, going ahead 97-84 in the third quarter.
They didn’t do much to slow down Anthony.
Not that much has these days.
Anthony has had trade talk swirling around
him from New York to Los Angeles since he
declined a three-year, $65 million extension in
June. Two deals with the New Jersey Nets have
collapsed, others have heated up and cooled off,
but many still expect he’ll be moved by the Feb.
24 trade deadline so the Nuggets don’t risk los-
ing him to free agency next summer for nothing.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE — Major League Soccer scor-
ing leader Chris Wondolowski has agreed to a
new contract with the San Jose Earthquakes.
Wondolowski scored 18 of his team’s 34

year to win the MLS Golden Boot award.

points in the first half, Testa scored 12 of the
Scots’ 15 third-quarter points to put the Scots
up 36-32 heading into the fourth quarter.
But Harris countered Testa nearly basket-
for-basket in the second half. Harris did not
score in the first half, but poured in 16 second-
half points, scoring in a variety of ways —
both inside and outside. Ten of those points
came in the fourth quarter alone.

Marleau’s late goal lifts Sharks over Columbus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Patrick Marleau
scored from a sharp angle with 4:51 left to lift
San Jose to a 3-2 victory over the Columbus
Blue Jackets on Wednesday night.
The Sharks have earned at least one point in 10
straight games (9-0-1).
Joe Pavelski dug the puck off the back wall
and passed to Marleau, who flipped the puck at
goalie Steve Mason from a couple of feet away
from the goal line on the left wing. Pavelski

And in the seconds that followed is where
the Panthers won the game. Thirty seconds
after the negated score, behind the outstanding
efforts of Eduardo Trujillo and Dean Aliamus,
Victor Prieto placed a shot to Friedman’s
lower right, stunning the Bears for the 2-0
lead going into the half.
“That’s how cruel this game can be, or how
great his game can be,” Sharabi said. “One
minute, they have the ball in the net and it gets
called back, and the next minute, it’s a goal.

because he has high blood pressure. Walter, it
turned out, was a match. When he got the news
last month, he never wavered on his decision to
give up a part of himself so Jordan would have a
chance at a long, healthy life.
“I didn’t want Kevin to wait one more day if I
could help it,” Walter said.
Without a living donor willing to donate a kid-

helped distract Mason as the puck slipped into
the net.
Kent Huskins and Kyle Wellwood also scored
for the Sharks, who have won five straight. Antti
Niemi made 42 saves.
Marleau had an assist to go with his goal, and
Pavelski had two assists as the Sharks rallied
from a 2-0 deficit. The Blue Jackets had applied
most of the pressure in the third period before
That’s why this game is so beautiful. We fin-

we’re going to push and push and push until
we get that goal and we did.”
Sharabi made some changes to start the
second half in anticipation of a re-focused and
determined M-A attack. Now with five in the
backline, the Panthers turned away wave after

But you can only keep a good offense down

five years for one to become available. That
almost certainly would have ruined his dreams of
reaching the major leagues.
Now, everything is back in play.
“Baseball was always there for me,” Jordan
said. “As soon as my body agrees with me and
I’m allowed to start playing, I’m going to start
playing again.”
Dr. Allan Kirk, who took part in the 3 1/2-hour
transplant operation, said there’s no reason Jordan
can’t be like any other player. He’ll have to wait
about eight weeks before he can start swinging a
bat, but assuming the kidney performs well and
there’s no signs of rejection, he can count on
Marleau’s goal, outshooting the Sharks 16-9 in
the period and 44-32 overall.
Kristian Huselius and Grant Clitsome had
first-period, power-play goals for the Blue
Jackets, who had won three in a row.
The loss damaged Columbus’ playoff hopes.
The Blue Jackets began the night four points out
of eighth place in the Western Conference.
After the Blue Jackets set the pace in the open-
ing period, the Sharks dominated the second.
They cut the lead to 2-1 about 2 minutes in
when Huskins scored his first of the season — in
Molina was the beneficiary of some great
work by Flint Mitchell, who weaved his way
into the offensive zone and found Molina,
who beat the Burlingame keeper to cut the
deficit in half.
“Until that goal went in, they were just
phoning it in,” Pickard said of his team. “They
were disappointed about (their play) but they
weren’t doing anything to rectify that. It was
like they were playing in a coma. It was some-
thing you wouldn’t want to see in a game with
something like a championship on the line.
You wouldn’t like to see that kind of response
from you team. So I’m incredibly disappoint-
ed by that.”
M-A pressed, but it was Burlingame who
actually put together another pair of great
being ready to go next season.
“He should live a life that is normal in activity,
normal in length,” Kirk said. “His abilities should
be back, sliding and all. Even reaching over the
wall, he should be able to do that.”
Jordan felt anything but normal last February,
when he began suffering from flulike symptoms.
He would eventually lose 30 pounds off his stur-
dy, 198-pound frame, but he played on at
Northside High School in Columbus, Ga., the pro
scouts wondering quietly what was wrong.
He wasn’t as strong as he had been. He wasn’t
as fast.
Doctors in his hometown couldn’t pinpoint the

his 45th game — with an otherwise innocent
shot from the left point. Mason was screened by
teammate Kris Russell, and the puck might have
been tipped as it slowly made its way from the
blue line.
The Sharks failed to convert on two power
plays before tying the game later in the period.
San Jose controlled play in the offensive zone,
and Logan Couture’s centering pass from the left
of the net deflected off Ryane Clowe’s skate. The
puck bounced to Wellwood near the right hash
and he punched it in for his second of the season.
scoring chances that only magical saves from
Friedman kept from increasing the lead.
The Bears would get their opportunities
though, as the head referee allotted more than
a handful of minutes of injury time — and
Molina got a clean look at goal seconds before
the whistle, but his attempt was saved.
“They worked so hard, they won five
straight games to get even with Burlingame,”
Pickard said, “We get back to here, this is
where we want to be, the best we could have
hoped for was getting even with them and
having it all to play for in this game. They just
floundered ... so obviously they don’t deserve
to be champions.”
problem. Finally, Jordan’s parents took him to
Atlanta, where he learned in June — shortly after
his high school was eliminated from the state
playoffs and before he left for Wake Forest — that
he had ANCA vasculitis, a type of autoimmune
swelling disorder caused by abnormal antibodies.
When those abnormalities show up in the kid-
neys, they can cause blood and protein to leak into
the urine, leading to a shutdown. That’s what
happened to Jordan. He enrolled at Wake Forest
and went to classes during the fall semester.
Baseball was out, though he would show up to
take batting practice and shag flies when he felt
well enough.

Separate beds or blankets can help couples sleep
By Colleen Newvine Tebeau
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When we were newlyweds, my
husband and I heard a lot of mildly
naughty jokes about sleeping
together. But for us, sleeping
together — that is, actual sleeping
— was no laughing matter.
John snored, I twitched. He
stayed up late, I got up early. He
liked a cold room with the blankets
untucked, I wanted the blankets
tucked in to keep me warm. Neither
of us was getting much good rest.
We were not alone: Lots of cou-
ples have sleep habits that keep each
other awake. The Better Sleep
Council, funded by the mattress
industry, surveyed 1,000 Americans
in 2007 and found 1 in 3 reporting
that their partner’s sleep habits
affected their own sleep.
But, say designers and therapists,
there are plenty of creative solutions
to such problems.
“I’m a hopeless romantic,” said
Beverly Hills, Calif., designer
Christopher Grubb, who likes help-
ing clients enjoy sleeping in the
same room.
Snoring, he says, is a common
problem among his clients, and one
found relief with an anti-snoring
pillow from Sona, one of several
companies that offer pillows
designed to help prevent snoring by
keeping the sleeper’s airway open.
Grubb also suggests sheets with a
high thread count to maximize com-

fort, a mid-weight comforter to bal-

ences, and beds that cater to part-
ners’ different needs.
Sometimes, that can mean two
mattresses, side by side. For exam-
ple, Leggett & Platt offers a bed

base called the Prodigy. Imagine
two hospital beds side by side, each
of which can be raised and lowered
independently, plus a massage fea-
ture that can be used as a silent
alarm in the morning. Each partner
has a separate mattress and can
choose its firmness.

it, says Tina B. Tessina, a psy-
chotherapist who blogs as Dr.

“Sleeping apart can contribute to
the disconnect that plagues many

to avoid each other, when what’s
really needed is connection and

Barbara Bartlein, a clinical psy-

Wanna get away? Tropical plants can help By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Winter still holds much of the
nation in its strong grip, complete
with blasts of arctic air, great dumps
of snow and gray skies showing no
signs of letting up. Let’s face it:
Spring is a long way off for most of
us.
I find that one of the best antidotes
to the winter blahs is to make a trop-
ical escape. Not literally, mind you,
but with the help of mail-ordered
tropical plants. They’re the perfect
way to enjoy a touch of the tropics
without leaving home.
One of my favorite sources for
tropical houseplants is Logee’s
Greenhouse, in the somewhat sur-
prising location of Danielson, Conn.
In business since 1892, Logee’s is a
family-run operation run by tropical
plant experts Byron and Laurelynn
Martin. Their book “Growing Tasty
Tropical Plants ... In Any Home,
Anywhere” provides all the infor-
mation any gardener needs to suc-
cessfully grow a wide range of edi-
ble tropical container plants from
citrus to coffee, tea and vanilla.
Got the winter blahs? A flashy pink hibiscus can turn any sunny window Logee’s mail order catalog is filled

and browsing through it helps make
the long cold winter a little more
palatable. Granted, a week or two in
the tropics might have a little more
impact on one’s psyche, but a box
full of exotic plants arriving on the
doorstep is a good substitute for any
avid gardener.
For those who are forced by the
weather to spend more time indoors
than out during the winter months, a
potted gardenia or fragrant jasmine
on the windowsill is enough to keep
the nose from becoming despon-
dent. Enough varieties of these
plants are available to make your
home rival a French perfume labora-
tory.
Tropical plants, as Byron Martin
points out, are often well suited for
home culture. Some of Logee’s
offerings are foliage plants that do
well in low light conditions; they
THE DAILY JOURNAL
can grow near a window rather than
in a window. Tree ferns, begonias
and anthuriums are perfectly happy
growing in north facing windows,
which receive no direct sun.
As a rule of thumb, however, most
flowering tropical plants such as
hibiscus will require at least a few
hours of direct sunlight in order to
bloom well inside. Hibiscus is the
quintessential blooming plant that
can turn any sunny window or sun-
room into a tropical paradise.
If you have only seen pink or red
blooming hibiscus then you owe it
to yourself to check out varieties like
‘Creole Lady,’ ‘Tsunami,’
‘Rumrunner’ or ‘Cajun Blue.’ These
are not your Grandfather’s hibiscus,
that’s for sure. These hybrids have
colors ranging from pale blue to
salmon pink, deep orange, purple
and peach. Some of the flowers are
fully double while others have wavy
or ruffled edges.
If the cold winter weather has you
longing for a taste of the tropics why
not sit down with a mail order cata-
log and have a few tropical house-
plants shipped right to your door.
Once they arrive you can kick back
and fix yourself one of those little
umbrella drinks!

Pruning’s a necessary evil,and can be done well
By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pruning can’t help but wound a plant. But
the injury doesn’t have to compromise its
health.
Your job, as a pruner, is to pinch, snip, lop
or saw in such a way as to facilitate your
plants’ natural healing.
Plants have an uncanny ability to deal with
wounds. Immediately after any wound,
whether from high wind or from the sharp
edge of your pruning saw, cells around the
wound burst into activity. Their goal: to pre-
vent the spread of infection and seal off the
wound.
Unless the weather is frigid, rapid respi-
ration (”breathing”) and cell division
occur, during which natural antimicrobial
chemicals are released and new cells grow
to seal off the wound. With little or no
microbial growth in frigid weather, the

untapped doesn’t just hurt struggling house-
holds, it hurts our economy as well,” said
report author Tia Shimada in a prepared state-
ment.
CFPA is a statewide public policy organiza-
tion focused on increasing the access of low-
income residents to healthy and affordable
food. The group compiled a report on state
underutilization last fall and honored counties
that ranked high at a forum in Sacramento
yesterday.
The report and its rankings points out the
great need for food which is important, said
Amanda Kim, spokeswoman for the San
Mateo County Human Services Agency.
“We don’t object to their data,” Kim said.
“We just want to ask who is the population?”
CFPA uses what it calls the Program Access
Index which calculates food stamp use with
data on individuals with an income below 125
percent of the federal poverty level and no

“The key is you must also take the time for
physical closeness and intimacy. Many couples
start the night together and then move apart if
one person is moving, snoring, etc. One of the
advantages of sleeping together is you have the
opportunity for bedroom talk. This is the espe-
cially intimate talk that couples do in the dark
that no one else ever hears,” Bartlein said.
Don’t be afraid of unusual solutions if they
work for you.
Leta Hamilton gets her togetherness by
sleeping in a king-size bed with her infant
and toddler while her husband sleeps on the
floor. Hamilton, host of the Internet radio
show “The Way of the Toddler Hour,” said
her husband, James, prefers sleeping on hard
surfaces and likes sleeping by himself, but
their arrangement keeps him in the same
SUBURBAN LIVING
plant can wait to begin repair.
PLANT, HEAL THYSELF
(WITH SOME GOOD CUTS)
The first thing you can do to encourage
healing is to make all cuts clean. Ragged
edges leave more damaged cells and more
surface area to close over. Sharp pruning tools
are a must.
Smaller cuts leave smaller wounds, so
prune off that misplaced maple limb when
you can do it with hand shears rather than
when you need a chain saw. Pruning away
small stems, rather than large ones, also
removes less stored food or food-producing
tissue of a plant, which is desirable unless you
are deliberately attempting to dwarf a plant.
Pruning off diseased stems can be a way to
thwart diseases, but watch out that you don’t
inadvertently spread infection in the process.
When disease transmission is a hazard — as it
is, for example, with fire blight disease of
receipt of other Social Security benefits. The
data is culled from 2008.
The index does not take into account citi-
zen/immigration status — included in the fed-
eral assessment of use — which Kim said
makes a huge difference in ranking San Mateo
County.
For instance, the undocumented population
is included in census numbers for those in
need of food but can’t qualify for programs.
The difference leaves a wide gap between the
two points that legally can’t be filled.
“[CFPA]’s numbers are just a part of the
story,” Kim said.
CFPA’s place Yuba County at the top and
Mono County last, just above San Mateo
County.
Kim said she and other HSA officials are
looking at the variables between Mono and
San Mateo counties and the factors used to
determine rankings because those two locales
“couldn’t be more different.”
Even if CFPA’a data doesn’t highlight every
factor in the county’s food stamp eligibility
placement, there is no dispute there are eligi-
ble residents not enrolled.
Part of the reason may be the fingerprinting
room with the rest of the family.
“We like the time we spend together as a
family before going to bed. It’s special,” said
Hamilton of Sammamish, Wash. “All of this
may sound very weird, but every night I lay in
bed and think how lucky I am.”
Little things like blankets and alarm clocks
also can make a difference.
Lissa Coffey, lifestyle spokesperson for the
Better Sleep Council, said she and her husband
prefer different temperatures and sleep sched-
ules. She has a single electric blanket on her
side of the bed so she can be toasty warm,
while he prefers to sleep cooler. Coffey sleeps
later, so her husband uses a soothing alarm that
doesn’t disturb her in the morning.
What worked for us?
First we both sought help from the
University of Michigan Sleep Disorders
Clinic.
Doctors found John’s snoring wasn’t just
bothering me; it was keeping him from getting
quality sleep. So they fitted him with a mouth-
piece to open his throat.
pears — sterilize your pruning tool between
cuts by wiping the blades with alcohol.
Young, actively growing stems heal easiest
and quickest, which makes pinching out a
growing point between thumbnail and forefin-
ger the least damaging method of pruning. No
special instructions here, except, perhaps, to
clean under your fingernails. (Just kidding.)
PRUNING STEMS,
PRUNING LARGE LIMBS
Shortening a stem must be done with more
care. Cut it back to a bud, which is where a
leaf is growing or grew the previous season.
To avoid leaving a dead stub, or killing the
bud, shorten the stem to a little beyond the
bud, at an angle, so that the cut slopes down
ever so slightly behind the bud.
Removing a large limb with a single prun-
ing cut can tear long shreds of bark from a
tree as the limb comes toppling down. Avoid
this by making three separate cuts. First
requirement mandated not by the federal gov-
ernment, but California. Opponents say it
turns off some eligible individuals who worry
the database will be used to search their
names for other matters, like warrants.
Kim said San Mateo County’s equipment,
which is funded locally, takes up staff time
and has flagged very few cases of food stamp
fraud.
Stigma is also a barrier, particularly in the
current economic environment when former
software engineers, managers and college
graduates find themselves needing a hand.
The county, like some others, also finds
itself with a backlog of cases due to increased
need and staff that has either stayed flat or
even reduced. The state Legislature has not
increased more funding, leaving HSA’s staff
of 770 serving 92,000 residents. By the end of
the year, the expectation is 95,000 to 96,000
clients with a staff of 80 fewer due to vacan-
cies and a hiring freeze, Kim said.
Despite the hurdles, the county has seen a
sharp increase in enrollment between June
2008 and June 2010. Some of the largest
changes were on the coast, such as El Granada
and Pescadero which saw a 750 percent and
My study confirmed what John already
knew: I wiggled dozens of times an hour all
night long. The doctors offered medication
also used to prevent seizures, but since my
movement wasn’t harming my sleep, we opted
for a non-medical solution.

undercut the limb one-quarter of the way
through about 12 inches further out than your
eventual cut. Next, saw through from the top,
near the first cut but a couple of inches further
out on the limb. After the limb falls (without
tearing any bark), saw off the easily held,
foot-long stub that remains. But do not cut it
back flush to the trunk; cut back to just
beyond the ring of bark at the base of the limb.
After you have cut off a branch or limb, do
nothing to the bare wound that stares you in
the face. Marketing or an innate desire for
nurturing has induced humans for centuries to
cover wounds with dressings ranging from
clay to manure to tar. Such dressings, for the
most part, keep the wound moist, maintaining
a hospitable environment for disease-causing
microorganisms.
A good pruning cut — not a poultice —
allows a woody plant to seal off the wound
and prevent spread of infection. Take care
how you cut, and appreciate a plant’s natural
ability to heal itself.
488.89 percent leap, respectively. Montara’s
17 cases in June 2010 represent a 750 percent
increase.
Kim pointed out surprising changes in some
communities like Millbrae which jumped
198.73 percent to 236 cases, Belmont which
increased 180.81 percent to 278 cases,
Burlingame which went up 169.17 percent to
323 cases and Foster City whose 165.15 per-
cent increase meant 175 cases.
Other urban areas showed pretty consistent
rates of increase, ranging between 25 percent
in Woodside to 100 percent in Hillsborough.
The majority of the others hovered in the 90s.
San Gregorio showed the only decrease, a
drop of 50 percent to two cases.
A 2011 CalFresh numbers update — the
published figures used in local health reports
and presentations — also show enrollment
figures nearly tripled over a four-year span.
In December 2006, the county had 8,836
participants. In December 2010, the figure
was 21,602.

for Caltrain, cuts could be as severe as
a reduction in service to 48 trains that
would operate only during the weekday
commute. All other service would be
eliminated including weekday trains
outside the commute peak, weekend
service and service to Gilroy. The
schedule also would require the sus-
pension of service at up to seven sta-
tions, according to Caltrain.
Although Caltrain’s ridership has
steadily climbed the past six months,
SamTrans suffered more than an 8 per-
cent loss in riders so far this fiscal year.
“The financial challenges are bigger
than me,” Scanlon said. “If the time has

His children, wife and parents joined

County Event Center as they bid him
and a group of Army reservists farewell.
The 297th Area Support Medical
Company will provide basic medical
care and support for soldiers at a forward
operating base troop medical clinic in
Iraq.
The unit performs first aid and minor
surgeries just behind the frontlines of
battle, Im said. The unit can care for 40
patients at a time and can sustain itself in
the field for 72 hours, Im said.
SAFEWAY
Continued from page 1
“I think we’re ready for a new store
rather than trying to remodel again. ... It
will be an asset to Millbrae,” said Quigg.
Safeway opened in Millbrae in 1962.
It is currently 37,094 square feet with 92
parking spaces, according to the staff
report written by contract planner
Catherine Barber. Space was added in
the early ’90s.
The new proposal would demolish
the current building, probably in early
2012, to create a 59,001-square-foot
store with 183 parking spots which
would be reached by using an escala-
tor or elevator. Inside the store will be

come for me to go .... maybe someone
else can do it better.”
But Karyl Matsumoto, who now
chairs the SamTrans board of directors,
said Scanlon’s compensation was the
sole responsibility of the board.
“We approve the salaries,”
Matsumoto said.
Scanlon’s total compensation from
the three agencies is $407,643 when
factoring in retirement benefits and a
housing allowance.
“It makes me look like an oppor-
tunist,” Scanlon said about the housing
allowance.
But the SamTrans board, one by one,
heaped praise on Scanlon yesterday
and defended his salary.
“You are not just a CEO. You are a
leader,” said Burlingame Vice Mayor
Jerry Deal, who sits on the SamTrans
board.
This will be the first overseas deploy-
ment for the entire unit since it was first
formed in 1954. It is comprised of 60
California National Guard soldiers and
is headquartered on North Humboldt
Street in San Mateo.
A Yellow Ribbon event was set up yes-
terday morning at the Event Center to
offer support and guidance for families
who will be away from their loved ones
for the next year.
The U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs runs the Yellow Ribbon program
to help families deal with stress, taxes
and how to keep relationships strong
while being apart.
“Knowing their families are OK when
they are overseas is good for the soldier.
This is a family-oriented sendoff to
show what we offer their loved ones
while the soldiers are deployed,” said
Bank, said Houghton.
For Millbrae, a tiled mosaic depicting
California’s history on the front of the
store has long been of concern.
Preserving the mosaic has been a
requirement any time work was done on
the store. Safeway is working with the
artist’s daughter to ensure it is preserved,
Houghton said.
This will be the third San Mateo
County to get a facelift in recent years.
Construction is under way in
Burlingame. Plans for a 45,600-square-
foot 24-hour grocery store were unani-
mously approved last year. The older
store and surround-
ing shops at 1420
and 1450 Howard
Ave. were demol-
ished. When com-
plete, the grocery
store at the prime

San Carlos Mayor Omar Ahmad
agreed.
“We will not suffer a lesser CEO,”
Ahmad said. “I’m damn glad you are
here.”
SamTrans hired Scanlon in 1999.
“You were hired because you were
the best person for the job,” said
Shirley Harris, who is the public repre-
sentative on the SamTrans board.
Scanlon’s compensation package
was not scheduled to be discussed at
yesterday’s meeting since it was not on
the meeting agenda.
He brought up his own salary as he
mentioned negotiations will take place
later this year with some of the transit
district’s labor groups.

The San Mateo County Fair has adopt-
ed the 297th and will send it care pack-
ages while in Iraq serving in Operation
New Dawn.
San Mateo Councilman John Lee, a
veteran of the Marines, spoke to the
297th before it was deployed yesterday.
“You belong to us. You are our broth-
ers and sisters. We are here for you. We
are your family. We will pray for you.
Thank you for taking care of us. We love
you. Godspeed,” Lee said.
When he finished his short speech, a
room full of about 300 people erupted in
applause for the 297th.
Before their Operation New Dawn
tour begins in Iraq, the 297th will spend
approximately one month at Fort Lewis,
Wash. conducting pre-deployment train-
ing.

Thursday, February 10, 2010
In the year ahead it will be more important than usual to keep
your financial affairs in good order. Try to run a tight ship, so
that your funds will not be wasted in a Cavalier manner and
you’ll find that the results will be rewarding as well.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Keep a cool head if you are
being pressured to have closure on a project you started. If
you move too impulsively, a mishap is likely that will set you
back even further.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Don’t let the thoughtless
behavior of a friend anger you. If you realize that everybody
has bad moments at times, you might be able to get past this
misstep and forgive and forget.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Just because somebody asks
doesn’t mean you have to comply with this person’s wishes.
Don’t let anybody pressure you into loaning out something
you hold dear.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Making demands on someone
else’s time or property could put you in a bad light with those
who have to work with you. You might get what you want
now, but at what price?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Before losing your temper with
someone, make sure it isn’t your own behavior that is out of
line. It will only make you look worse if blow over selfishly
wanting your own way.
body’s business. Just because a friend is curious is not a
good enough reason to comply.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Strive to keep your wits about you
in all of your one-on-one dealings with others, especially
if you have to deal with someone who is unduly hostile or
argumentative.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - The least thing you should
expect is automatic compliance if you are too bossy or dic-
tatorial with any of your co-workers. If you want a favor, ask
nicely.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Be careful not to get drawn into
the thoughtless actions of a friend. This person could draw
you into a situation where you’ll be held equally accountable
for his/her reckless behavior.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Stick-to-itiveness is essen-
tial if you hope to be successful in what you attempt to do.
If you’re not prepared to follow things through to the finish,
don’t start the project.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Be particularly atten-
tive to any task you take on, especially those you consider
to be routine. If you’re mind is not on what you’re doing, you
could easily have a mishap.
Previous
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Unless you closely moni-
tor your financial affairs or the handling of a prized posses- Sudoku
sion, a mishap could occur when you’re not looking. Protect
