Redistricting changes political landscape

Candidates starting to line up for San Mateo County districts 19, 22 and 24 seats
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Residents in San Mateo County will no longer have two state senators representing the area in Sacramento next year as redistricting has changed the local boundaries signicantly. Currently, both Leland Yee from San Francisco and Joe Simitian from Palo Alto
Kevin Mullin
represent the county in the state Senate but after the lines have been redrawn, the new Senate District 13 boundaries now stretch from Brisbane to the north down to Sunnyvale to the south. The maps have also changed for Assembly
seats, with San Mateo County retaining parts of three districts including 19, 22 and 24. District 19 is mostly in San Francisco County, all of Daly City and parts of South San Francisco. District 24 covers the coastside of San Mateo County down to Palo Alto, Mountain View and Santa Clara to the south. District 22 will be an entirely San Mateo County district, however, stretching from the county line to the north down to Redwood
City. On Thursday, South San Francisco Councilman Kevin Mullin officially announced he would run for the District 22 seat. His father, Gene Mullin, also served previously in the Assembly. As the June 5 open primary approaches, incumbents seeking re-election or a higher ofce have had to campaign in regions they

Obama delights crowds in quick fundraising tour

SAN FRANCISCO President Barack Obama is preaching an economic message aimed at the 99 percent and raising campaign cash among the 1 percent, walking an election year tight rope complicated by the need for hundreds of millions of dollars at a time of high unemployment. At a beachside community in southern California on Thursday, fresh off a dinner that included actor George Clooney, Obama was in the middle of a three-day fundraising tour through opulent homes along Californias coast a trip to be bookended by images of the president inside factories talking up job creation. The president hauled in $750 million in 2008, shattering records, and his campaign has outpaced his Republican opponents, collecting

Chinese leader visits to forge bonds

By Noaki Schwartz and David Pitt
Police reports
One leg at a time
A man was caught trying to steal a pair of pants from a commercial business on El Camino Real in South San Francisco before 4:25 p.m. Monday, Feb. 6.
LOS ANGELES Chinas soon-to-beleader arrived in California on Thursday to wrap up his four-day U.S. trip by talking business with Gov. Jerry Brown, touring a shipping terminal at the giant Port of Los Angeles and maybe even catching a Lakers game. As with his previous travels, Vice President Xi Jinping was focusing on forging relationships. Xi spent the morning in Iowa, where ofcials from the U.S. and China signed a ve-year deal to guide discussions on food security, food safety and sustainable agriculture. China became the top market for U.S. agricultural goods last year, purchasing $20 billion in U.S. agricultural exports, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Xi, who is expected to become president next year of the worlds most populous nation, climbed into the cab of a John Deere tractor at a 4,000-acre farm near Des Moines and chatted with fth-generation farmer Rick Kimberley. He asked detailed questions about farming techniques in Iowa, the nations largest producer of corn and soybeans. He said the tractor really felt comfortable. He really enjoyed that, Kimberley said after the visit. It was a reunion of sorts for Xi, who nearly
three decades ago visited Iowa to study agricultural techniques and learn about corn production. Hed insisted on the stop in Iowa, and the farm visit capped the Midwest leg of his visit to the United States. Xis visit to Los Angeles is a reminder of his counXi Jinping trys huge footprint at the busiest port in the United States. Nearly 60 percent of the imports moving through the Port of Los Angeles come from China, including $120 billion worth of computers, TVs, sneakers and other goods last year. The visit comes at a politically challenging time in U.S.-China relations, with the White House sending stern messages on currency and trade policies and Republican presidential candidates claiming President Barack Obama isnt doing enough to keep America competitive with the Chinese economy. The Asian power sells four times as many goods to the U.S. as the United States sends in return to China. The U.S. shipped $13.5 billion in exports to China through the Los Angeles port last year. In a carefully scripted event, Xi took a short walking tour through the China Shipping terminal with Brown and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. The facility sprawls
over nearly 100 acres. Were not just growing our ports, but were greening our ports, Villaraigosa told Xi. When I heard that this is an environmentally friendly green port, I felt that this was a major achievement, Xi later told a crowd in a brief statement after his stroll with Villaraigosa. This is a solid foundation for future U.S.China trade and economic cooperation, he said. China has been the United States fastestgrowing export market, according to Kenneth Lieberthal, director of the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution. I assume hell stress this is a two-way street. This is of enormous benet for both sides, Lieberthal said. Brown, a Democrat, said he wants to foster the states relationship with Chinas next leader and encourage foreign investment in the state. China has trillions of dollars in reserves and theyre going to be investing that increasingly throughout the world. I would like to see some of that money come into California for productive investment, the governor told the Associated Press on Wednesday. Not everyone celebrated the vice presidents arrival. The California Fair Trade Coalition, a San Francisco-based nonprot that supports expanding trade while promoting economic justice, issued a statement calling on Brown to address Chinas predatory trade practices.

Ex-wife pleads not guilty in boiling death

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Daly City woman who poured boiling water over her sleeping ex-husband because she allegedly thought he was unfaithful pleaded not guilty yesterday to murder and torture charges stemming from the mans death two weeks later. Jesusa Ursonal Tatad, 39, is also charged with assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated mayhem and domestic violence. She previously pleaded not guilty to those charges but prosecutors led the new case after her former husband, Ronie Tatad, died from his secondand third-degree burns. Jesusa Tatad and the 36-year-old victim were divorced but living together. Authorities have not said denitively whether they maintained a romantic relationship or if it was a living arrangement out of convenience. Either way, prosecutors say Jesusa Tatad thought he was unfaithful and, at approximately 10:50 a.m. Nov. 26, boiled a pot of water which she poured on his face and upper body. The sleep-
ing man reportedly awoke in intense pain and tried running to the bathroom for safety. Jesusa Tatad, who prosecutors say was waiting for him, reportedly struck him in the head with a baseball bat. The man managed to ee the secJesusa Tatad ond-story apartment on Coronado Avenue and found a security guard who called police. Police arrested Jesusa Tatad at the home while the man was taken to San Francisco General Hospital with second- and thirddegree burns over 60 percent of his face and upper body. He initially told the guard and police Jesusa Tatad attacked him with the water and bat but was sedated by physicians due to the pain and gave no further statements before he died Dec. 9. Jesusa Tatad has reportedly denied hitting him with the bat. Jesusa Tatad, who was being held on $600,000 bail after her initial arrest, is now in
custody without bail. She returns to court March 26 to set a date for a preliminary hearing on the evidence. Defense attorney John May did not return a call for comment.

City to discuss sharing sidewalk repair costs
Sharing costs of upgrading Burlingame sidewalks comes with a $142,462 cost for residents in 580 properties a bill the council will discuss sending out Monday. Burlingame stopped paying for sidewalk repairs in 2004 when facing budget cuts. In October 2010, the City Council approved a program in which residents cover half the cost of upgrading sidewalks. Last year, the council awarded a construction contract for service. On Monday, the council will review during a public hearing before voting on the property owners share of the total $540,143 project. Costs of the repairs, if approved, will be forwarded to the County Assessors Ofce for collection as part of the property taxes due in December, according to a staff report by Public Works Director Syed Murtuza. The 50/50 sidewalk program was designed to repair defective sidewalks to reduce tripping hazards throughout the city. Work included replacing sidewalk, driveways, curb ramps and curb and gutter in the areas around McKinley Elementary and Burlingame High schools. Under the ordinance, costs of sidewalk repairs fronting private property are shared, 50/50, by the city and property owner. In total, about 44,000 square feet of new sidewalk, 3,100 square feet of driveway approaches, 11 ramps and 1,800 linear feet of curb and gutter were completed, said Murtuza. Additional work was also done outside the area. Construction work totaled $454,143, $284,924 of which was fronting private properties. Half of the cost for upgrades in front of private properties, $142,462, is the estimated property owners share. The

SAN FRANCISCO Buying ads on Twitter is about to get easier for small businesses as the online messaging service adds a key piece to its moneymaking model. Twitter is unveiling a long-awaited automated system that will enable advertisers to manage their marketing campaigns and budgets without having to deal with sales representatives. Before Twitter opens the system to all comers later this year, the self-service approach announced Thursday will only be available to advertisers who accept or use American Express cards To get the ball rolling, American Express Co. will buy $100 in Twitter ads for each of the first 10,000 qualified businesses in the U.S. that sign up at http://ads.twitter.com/amex . The ads, which Twitter calls promoted products, will begin appearing within the flow of users messages in late March. Flipping the switch on self-service advertising is the latest sign of Twitters ambition to build a powerful online marketing vehicle in the mold of Internet search leader Google Inc., by far the Webs most profitable company, and online social network Facebook Inc., technologys fastest-rising star. It marks another stepping stone toward an eventual initial public offering of stock from Twitter, which has attracted more than 100 million users since its creation
nearly six years ago. The timetable for Twitters IPO remains a mystery, although CEO Dick Costolo said in an interview Thursday that the companys decision wont be influenced by how well Facebook fares in its stock market debut this spring. I dont look at what other companies are doing, he said. We dont think in terms of building this company for a particular IPO date. We are trying to build this company for the long term. The company, which is based in San Francisco, isnt in desperate need of capital, having raised at least $700 million last year. Twitter also probably needs a little more time to prove its financial chops. Last year, Twitter generated ad revenue of about $140 million, according to the research firm eMarketer Inc. That compared to $36.5 billion at Google and $3.2 billion at Facebook. This year, eMarketer expects Twitter to sell $260 million in advertising, helped in part by the new self-service platform. The automated system will be similar to Googles. Advertisers will be able to specify how much they are willing to spend, pick the cities or regions where they want their ads to appear and write their own commercial messages, which will be confined to Twitters 140character limit per tweet. Twitter will only charge for ads that get a user response, such as when a viewer decides to follow the business, retweets the message or clicks on a link.
Jail quarantine lifted after mumps scare

Payroll tax cut bill facing Senate GOP opposition

By Andrew Taylor
WASHINGTON Capitol Hill negotiators Thursday ofcially unveiled hard-fought compromise legislation to prevent 160 million workers from getting slapped with a payroll tax hike, but it ran into turbulence in the Senate, where Republicans withheld support and several Democrats attacked it. The measure would also extend jobless benets and is a top election-year priority for President Barack Obama. It generally won backing from his Democratic allies in Congress. But its getting only grudging support from House Republicans and even less from Obamas GOP rivals in the Senate, where party negotiators shunned the measure and its $89 billion impact on the budget decit over the coming decade. The typical American family will still see an extra $40 in every paycheck, keeping nearly $1,000 of their hard-earned money this year, Obama said in a statement. And millions of Americans who are out pounding the pavement looking for new work to support their families will still be able to depend on the vital lifeline of unemployment insurance. But support in the Senate, where Democrats control 53 votes, seemed soft. It will take 60 votes to advance the measure, and Democratic vote counters braced for defections during voting, expected Friday. They also worried that Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of

Government says parents need more info on apps for kids
WASHINGTON Kids have easy and inexpensive access to hundreds of smartphone applications, but parents are in the dark about what personal information is being collected from their children and how companies are using the data, government regulators said Thursday. The Federal Trade Commission said companies that make mobile apps, and the stores that sell them, should be providing parents with basic, simple-to-understand information about their products so they can choose which apps their children can use. The report also says developers should disclose whether their apps connect with social media services or include advertisements. Mobile apps can automatically capture smartphone information, such as a persons location, phone number, call logs and personal contacts. The market for mobile apps has exploded over the past few years, according to the FTC. In 2008, there were about 600 apps available to smartphone users. Now there are hundreds of thousands that have been downloaded more than 28 billion times, the commission said.
New Medicare overhaul plan presented

WASHINGTON Two Republican senators unveiled a Medicare overhaul Thursday that features an accelerated transition to private health insurance for many seniors, a gradual increase in the eligibility age, and higher premiums for middle-class and upperincome retirees. Sens. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and Richard Burr of North Carolina say theyre not out to win a political popularity contest. Instead, they want to engage fellow policymakers and the public in a grown-up conversation about the scope of changes needed to preserve Medicare in some form for future generations. All of us in Congress are running around xing everything except our biggest problem, Coburn said in an interview. If you dont start xing Medicare now, you cant save it. The plan to be announced Thursday is unlikely to advance in Congress during an election year, but it will help dene the debate for presidential and congressional candidates. Medicare covers health care for 49 million seniors and disabled people, providing essential protection against unpredictable medical costs in retirement. But the program is widely acknowledged to be in serious trouble. Its giant trust fund for inpatient care is projected to become insolvent in 2024, meaning that payroll taxes collected will not be Tom Coburn enough to cover the full cost of expected benefits. Many pieces of the Coburn-Burr plan received bipartisan support in proposals last year from two commissions on the national debt, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and even President Barack Obama. Those include limiting the use of private supplemental insurance by seniors, raising premiums for upper-income beneficiaries and revamping Medicares copayments to provide better protection against catastrophic costs while requiring greater financial responsibility for routine medical bills. Like Ryan, Coburn and Burr would gradually raise the eligibility age to 67. But their plan also differs in several important ways. It would start the transition to a system dominated by private insurance plans in 2016 instead of waiting a decade, as Ryan has proposed. Private plans would compete with a government-sponsored program, a retooled version of todays Medicare. Seniors would get a fixed amount from the governRichard Burr ment which they could apply toward a private plan or the government plan modeled on Medicare. Benefits would not be spelled out, but all plans would have to meet a test of basic insurance value. We have created a competitive bid model much like Part D the Medicare prescription benefit, said Burr. Across the spectrum, some seniors would go for lower premiums and some for higher premiums and richer benefits. Another key difference with proposals from Ryan and Obama is that the new plan would not attempt to cap the future growth of Medicare spending, relying instead on competition to hold costs down. The proposal has not been reviewed by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Ofce, but Coburn and Burr say it could save $200 billion to $500 billion over a decade.
Senate candidate only Asian in lower 48

HARTFORD, Conn. As a U.S. Senate candidate from Connecticut, William Tong doesnt have major, statewide name recognition like his two main rivals for the Democratic nomination. But the son of Chinese immigrants has picked up supporters from across the country as the only Asian-American candidate for Senate this year in the continental U.S. With only 3.8 percent of Connecticuts population identied as Asian, its unclear how much the degree of celebrity Tong has developed within the Asian-American community will translate into a possible victory. The 38-year-old state representative and selfproclaimed political underdog hopes his story of growing up in his familys Chinese restaurant, working nights and weekends washing dishes, cooking and waiting tables before graduating from an Ivy League university and law school, will touch non-Asian voters as well because it is a universal story about living the American dream, he said.
Democrats protest religious freedom hearing

Fatal motorcycle crash on 101
Two southbound lanes of Highway 101 were closed near East Poplar Avenue for more than two hours last night as emergency crews respond to a fatal crash. A motorcyclist was killed in the crash, which was reported at around 5 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol. The lanes reopened at approximately 7:30 p.m.
WASHINGTON Religious leaders told a House panel Thursday the Obama administration was violating basic rights to religious freedom with its policies for requiring that employees of religion-afliated institutions have access to birth control coverage. The unity of the religious leaders contrasted with the partisan divide among lawmakers on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, with Democrats saying they had been denied the ability to present witnesses who might support the government stance or speak for the rights of women to reproductive health coverage. They asked why women werent better represented among the 10 witnesses at the hearing. The issue has sparked a political restorm for the administration, with Catholics and other religious groups strongly protesting an original Health and Human Services ruling that religionafliated institutions such as hospitals and universities must include free birth control coverage in their employee health plans. The churches themselves were exempted from the requirement. Obama last Friday modied that policy so that insurance companies, and not the organization afliated with a church, pay for birth con-

trol costs, but that didnt satisfy those testifying at the hearing. Bishop William E. Lori, representing the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, compared the ruling to a law that would force all food providers, including kosher delicatessens, to serve pork. Does the fact that large majorities in society, even large majorities within the protesting religious community, reject a particular religious belief make it permissible for the government to weigh in on one side of that dispute? he asked. Churches played a role in the development of health care and it is ironic that the religious organizations should have their rights crushed in the name of health care, said Dr. Craig Mitchell, a Baptist minister and head of the ethics department at the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. The policy has split Catholics, a key con-
stituency for Obama to win a second term in ofce, the head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan, told the Associated Press this week that his group would launch both legislative and court challenges to the health care mandate. Yet there are also some Catholic groups and individuals who have come out in support of the presidents approach. They were not there at Thursdays hearing. The chairman is promoting a conspiracy theory that the federal government is conducting a war against religion, the top Democrat on the committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, said of committee chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif. He has also refused to allow a minority witness to testify about the interests of women who want safe and affordable coverage for basic preventive health care, including contraception, Cummings said of Issa.

Uncompromising messages
Defiant Iran claims major steps in nuclear fuel
By Ali Akbar Dareini and Brian Murphy
STATE GOVERNMENT
A state Senate informational hearing on high-speed rail will be held 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 13 at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, 500 Castro St. in Mountain View. It is being held by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, chair of the Senate Budget Subcommittee No. 2, which oversees transportation spending; state Sen. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, chair of the Select Committee on High-Speed Rail, former chair of the Senate Transportation Committee; state Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, chair of the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee. This event is free and open to the public. It will include ample opportunity for public comment. Parking is available in the garage under the center. For more information visit www.senatorsimitian.com.
TEHRAN, Iran In defiant swipes at its foes, Iran said Wednesday it is dramatically closer to mastering the production of nuclear fuel even as the U.S. weighs tougher pressures and Tehrans suspected shadow war with Israel brings probes far beyond the Middle East. Iran further struck back at the West by indicating it was on the verge of imposing a midwinter fuel squeeze to Europe in retaliation for a looming boycott of Iranian oil, but denied reports earlier in the day that six nations had already been cut off. The uncompromising messages from Iran, however, came with a counterpoint. The official IRNA news agency said Irans top nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, told European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton that Iran is ready to return to talks with the U.S. and other world powers. The dual strategy taking nuclear steps while proposing more talks has become a hallmark of Irans dealings for years and some critics have dismissed it as a time-buying tactic. The advances claimed Wednesday could likely feed these views. In a live TV broadcast, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was shown overseeing what was described as the first Iranian-made fuel rod inserted into a research reactor in northern Tehran.

Separately, the semiofficial Fars agency reported that a new generation of Iranian centrifuges used to enrich uranium toward nuclear fuel had gone into operation at the countrys main enrichment facility at Natanz in central Iran. In Washington, the assistant secretary of state for International Security and Nonproliferation, Tom Countryman, dismissed the Iranian claims of reaching a pivotal moment. The announcement today by Iran has much more to do with political developments in Iran than it has to do with factual developments, he said. White House press secretary Jay Carney said Irans defiant acts seek to distract attention from the damage brought by international sanctions.

Obamas budget cuts bacteria testing in produce

By Garance Burke
SAN FRANCISCO President Barack Obamas proposed budget would eliminate the nations only program that regularly tests fruits and
vegetables for deadly pathogens, leaving public health officials without a crucial tool used to investigate deadly foodborne illness outbreaks. The budget plan the president sent to Congress Monday would ax the Agriculture Departments tiny Microbiological Data Program, which
extensively screens high-risk fresh produce throughout the year for bacteria including salmonella, E. coli and listeria. If samples are positive, they can trigger nationwide recalls, and keep tainted produce from reaching consumers or grocery store shelves.

U.S. intelligence ties terror group to Syrian bombings

By Kimberly Dozier
WASHINGTON Top U.S. intelligence officials pointed to al-Qaida in Iraq on Thursday as the likely culprit behind recent bombings in Syria, the deadliest attacks against the Syrian government in the 11month uprising. Though the U.S. has called for Syrian President Bashar Assad to step down, his fall could lead to a power vacuum that al-Qaidas largest regional afliate or other extremist groups could fill, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Congress. And that could allow such groups to help themselves to Syrias vast stockpiles of chemical weapons, he said. At the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the crisis in Syria has become that much more serious and worrisome to the United States as a result of indications
that al-Qaida has inltrated the governments opposition. It does raise concerns for us that al-Qaida is trying to assert a presence there, he said. As to just what their role is and how extensive their role is, I think that still remains to be seen. In New York, meanwhile, the U.N. General Assembly approved a resolution backing an Arab League plan calling for Assad to step down and strongly condemning human rights violations it said his government had committed. The vote, though not legally binding, reects widespread world opinion. Likewise, in Vienna, U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon accused the Syrian government of committing almost certain crimes against humanity as activists reported fresh violence and the arrest of several prominent dissidents, including a U.S.-born blogger.
BEIRUT U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon accused the Syrian regime of committing almost certain crimes against humanity Thursday as activists reported fresh violence and the arrest of several prominent dissidents, including a U.S.-born blogger. Speaking to reporters in Vienna, Ban demanded the Syrian regime stop using indiscriminate force against civilians caught up in fighting between government troops and President Bashar Assads opponents. We see neighborhoods shelled indiscriminately, Ban told reporters in Vienna. Hospitals used as torture centers. Children as young as ten years old jailed and abused. We see almost certain crimes against humanity. Syrian activists said government forces attacked Daraa on Thursday, carrying out arrests and shooting randomly in the city where the uprising against Assad erupted 11 months ago. They also reported intense clashes between army defectors and government troops in the central province of Hama. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Syrian troops committed a new massacre near the northwestern town of Jisr al-Shughour, killing 19 people 11 of them from the same family. The report was impossible to conrm.
The push into Daraa, located near the Jordanian border some 80 miles (130 kilometers) south of Damascus, followed sieges on the rebellious cities of Homs and Hama and appears to be part of an effort by the regime to extinguish major pockets of dissent. Also Thursday, the Local Coordination Committees, an umbrella group of activists, reported the arrest of a several activists, including Razan Ghazzawi, a U.S.-born blogger and press freedom campaigner. Ghazzawi, who was born in Miami, Florida, was arrested early in the uprising and charged with spreading false information, but she was released after about two weeks. The LCC said security forces also arrested leading human rights activist Mazen Darwish and others during a raid on their Damascus ofce. The reports could not be immediately conrmed. The LCC said dozens of people were killed throughout the country Thursday. The Observatory said security forces killed at least one civilian in Daraa, and that clashes between defectors and government troops there left at least three regime soldiers dead. The deadliest ghting between troops and defectors took place in the village of Kfar Naboudeh in Hama province where government forces killed 10 defectors and four civilians, according to the Observatory. The group said the defectors attacked an army checkpoint near the Hama town of Soran, killing four soldiers.
Honduras prison fire exposes dysfunction

By Martha Mendoza and Mark Stevenson
COMAYAGUA, Honduras Six guards, 800-plus prisoners in 10 cellblocks, one set of keys. The numbers added up to disaster when re tore through a prison and 355 people died, many yet to even be charged with a crime, much less convicted. The deadliest prison blaze in a century has exposed just how deep government dysfunction and confusion go in Honduras, a small Central American country with the worlds highest murder rate. Prisoners scorched bodies were being brought to the capital of Tegucigalpa on
Thursday for identication, a process authorities said could take weeks. Dozens of family members gathered outside the morgue wearing surgical masks against the strong smell of death as police called out the names of the few less-charred victims who had been identied. Most relatives said they didnt believe the authorities account that a prisoner set a mattress on re late Tuesday after threatening to burn down Comayagua prison, located 55 miles (90 kilometers) north of Tegucigalpa. They also faulted prison ofcials for failing to get help inside quickly as ames engulfed the facility. Hundreds of screaming men burned and suffocated inside their locked cells as rescuers desperately searched for keys.

OPINION
A missed opportunity and a lack of leadership

t was nearly one year ago to the day that this newspaper called on county ofcials to get the ball rolling on a regional re service plan and bring everyone to the table to discuss common interests, needs and requirements. The call came on the heels of a request by the city of San Carlos to the county to contract through it for re services with the California Department of Forestry. A supervisor subcommittee at the time denied the request and instead offered to help mediate between San Carlos and Belmont ofcials over the two cities crumbling re partnership. Not surprisingly, the mediation sessions fell apart and San Carlos was left with negotiating with the city of Redwood City and a private contractor. That negotiation with the private contractor proved to be divisive and was later prohibited by the state Attorney Generals Ofce because public agencies are not allowed to provide public safety services aside from ambulances through a private company. San Carlos ofcials had previously approached Cal Fire for a proposal to contract for re services, but that was somehow torpedoed through political pressure from legislators no one seems to want to name and the request to con-
Editorial
tract through the county was seen as a workaround. At the time, county ofcials said they did not want to squander the opportunity to work on a true regional approach with the cost savings and better services that come with that. During the discussion, there was a thumbnail sketch provided by two local re chiefs on opportunities for a largerscale consolidated plan based in the southern area of the county. It was a solid rst step, but unfortunately, there has been absolutely no follow through from the county ofcials who called for such an initiative. And that is an issue. A San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury report released this week suggests that the decision not to proceed with a contract between the county and San Carlos was politically motivated and a lost opportunity to save money. The county was estimated to have been able to save $650,000 and the city of San Carlos was estimated to have been able to save $1.4 million, according to the report. The county is entertaining the idea of placing three taxes on the ballot to help bridge its structural decit and
ofcials even oated the idea of a re fee for the unincorporated area. It seems unfortunate that such an immediate savings was not at the very least entertained by the entire board, and not just a nance subcommittee particularly when the county is looking for additional revenue. That indeed was a lost opportunity. That almost would have been acceptable if county ofcials had followed up with the promise of proceeding with a further consolidation plan. It is not exactly in the purview for the county to tell cities whats what, but the elected county Board of Supervisors has the position to bring people together for a common purpose especially if it benets the countys bottom line and can provide opportunities for better service and much-needed cost savings for others. The county has taken the lead with a plastic bag ban and has the resources to provide a template for cities to follow. How could that effort possibly be more important than determining ways to save money and provide better re services? The grand jury report should serve as an admonishment and an embarrassment for county ofcials. But it is not nearly as embarrassing as their own inaction and lack of creative leadership.
Justifiable indignation
eople deserve an environment that promotes good health; it is fundamental to the countrys vitality, productivity and security. But we get the opposite. Kelly D. Brownell, In Defense of Food. I take serious umbrage in regard to the Other Voices from the Chicago SunTimes that appeared in the Feb. 13 Daily Journal. Dripping with condescension, the author implies snidely that a bunch of scientists out West (in California, no less) have taken concerns about Natures sweetener to the extreme. They then proceed to list the number of deaths 112,000 per year believed to result from the obesity epidemic they admit is often a result of consuming a lot of sugar. You can sense the food industry breathing down the neck of the author when, at the end, it is stated, Lets not listen to scientists who want a new Prohibition and then parrot the mantra of the industry, eat more healthfully and get more exercise. The problem with sugar is not one that can simply be solved by individuals changing their diets. The main problem is that so much of our food that is produced by our huge food manufacturing conglomerates is laced with sweeteners to the extent that it is difcult to buy products that are wholesome. Those who are educated in nutrition and serious about eating well can adjust their diets to include less sugar but the majority of consumers who, because of lack of education, time-crunch, a habit of self-indulgence and even their metabolism being altered by their sugar habit, are not going to skip the sodas and other sugar-laden products that lead to so many health problems. The ailments that are aficting more and more Americans that have resulted from eating the usual American diet that is replete with sweeteners include diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Yet the Sun-Times doesnt seem to get it even though it is pointed out that Americans eat and drink roughly 22 teaspoons of sugar every day, three times as much as they did 30 years ago ... Much of it is hidden inside processed food and even bread and cereal. In spite of their efforts to convince us otherwise, corporate interests are producing and advertising more and more products that are not conducive to good health and are adding to the diseases from which so many Americans suffer. They have no interest in anything but prots and the ordinary person is not able or willing to sort out all of the information and data so that their diets are healthier. And the industry is counting on it. Soft drinks have had more to do with the problem than anything else. As reported in Time Magazine July 12, 2010 The average American drinks a gallon of soda a week which delivers roughly 1,000 calories and no nutrition. They need to be taxed heavily and the proceeds used to educate people (especially the young) about the harm they can cause. Also, the high fructose corn syrup used in most soft drinks has been implicated in, among other problems, metabolic disorders. Independent studies need to be done to nd out its effect on our bodies. The scientists at UCSF who propose reducing sugar in our food include Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist who is sincerely concerned about the problem and doesnt deserve belittling sarcasm. He and his colleagues have taken the bull by the horns and obviously care greatly about the health of Americans. He tells it like it is. The only method for dealing with this is a public health intervention. Everyone talks about personal responsibility, and that wont work here, as it wont for any addictive substance. These are things that have to be done at a government level, and government has to get off its ass. Excessive sugar, he argues, alters peoples biochemistry, making them more vulnerable to metabolic conditions that lead to illness, while at the same time making people crave sweets even more. The author of the Sun-Times piece would rather allow the industry to have its way with us than accept regulation or taxation of products that are undermining the health of millions of Americans. But until our government takes the health of our citizens more seriously than the prots of corporate interests, things will not improve. It reminds us of those Republicans who believe that no matter what the problem, we must not let government intrude in our lives. As Michael Pollan wrote in In Defense of Food about the diabetes epidemic in the United States: Apparently it is easier, or at least more profitable to change a disease of civilization into a lifestyle than it is to change the way that civilization eats.

Letters to the editor

Childhood obesity
Editor, Childhood obesity has become so important that the First Lady has made it a national priority. Perhaps we should look at the cause of childhood obesity. What has changed over the years? We no longer let children play competitive games with winners and losers. We dont let them do anything that might be dangerous. We dont let them work before or after school. We dont even let them walk to and from school. And we feed them free lunches, which is mostly junk food. Then we have the audacity to wonder why they are fat?
Keeping vigilant
Editor, Decent citizens like to believe that they are doing enough if they tend to their chores, pay their bills and treat neighbors courteously. Politics is not their cup of tea. This is why the cynical politicians ignore their constituents and spend, spend, spend. Who will stop them? I dont hear a noise from any candidate saying how we can get out from under the enormous debts our legislators have amassed. They do not represent their taxpayers. Unless the voters can replace the big spenders, we will continue on toward financial disaster. The corrupters from Cook County, Ill. have been busy in every state putting in place the fraudulent machinery to take the November election. How can we prevent this? We must! We need poll watchers, alert citizens and vigilant police. Each of us must ask what we can do to ensure an honest election in November.
Kreitman, Hickey and Vince Boston

Editor, How ironic that Keith Kreitman and I, vilified by Vince Boston saying What a relief from the tiresome endless ideological rants of Keith The Old Commie Kreitman versus Jack Survival of the Fittest Hickey, both researched Bostons previous letters. It was my good fortune to find the letter Dissent good for democracy from the Jan. 4, 2011 edition of the Daily Journal in which Boston said, Even if you dont agree with Jack Hickey, I encourage you to vote for him simply to ensure at least one dissenting voice on the Board. I need all the support I can get to battle the PR machine of the Sequoia Healthcare District and the pseudo-philanthropists on its board of directors. Kudos to the Daily Journal for its excellent archive access!

Stocks barrel higher

Wall Street
General Motors was among the bestperforming stocks of the day. Two years after it was almost wiped out, the company turned a record $7.6 billion prot last year, bigger even than when Americans couldnt stop buying trucks and SUVs. Microsoft rose 4 percent, as did Bank of America, which tends to swing wildly with the market. The Labor Department said weekly applications for unemployment benets dropped for the fourth time in ve weeks to the lowest point since March 2008. That was when the jobless rate was just 5.1 percent, far below the current rate of 8.3 percent. Construction of single-family homes cooled slightly in January, but a rise in permits suggested builders were growing more condent that more buyers are ready to come off the sidelines. There are doubts about how long the momentum can be sustained, and even questions about whats sustaining it. The market has seemed determined to move higher this year, despite mostly incremental and vague news about the Greek debt crisis and sometimes-conicting reports on the U.S. economy.
Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE General Motors Co.,up $2.24 at $27.17 The automaker said that strong China and U.S. sales helped the it turn a prot of $7.6 billion in 2011,its largest ever. Advance America,Cash Advance Centers Inc.,up $2.53 at $10.44 The payday lending company was bought by Mexican nancial services company Grupo Elektra in a deal worth about $780 million. Orbitz Worldwide Inc.,down 33 cents at $2.93 The online travel company said fourth-quarter revenue fell and it expects rst-quarter revenue to be short of analystsforecasts. Nasdaq Healthways Inc.,down 73 cents at $7.21 The wellness program administrator posted a larger fourth-quarter loss after taking more than $183 million in impairment charges. Avis Budget Group Inc.,down $2.01 at $12.58 The rental car company said in a regulatory ling that its rst-quarter adjusted earnings will likely fall from last year. Tandy Leather Factory Inc.,up 20 cents at $5.20 The leather retailer and wholesaler said that it will pay a special one-time dividend of 25 cents per share to its stockholders. Itron Inc.,up $8.12 at $48.23 The maker of energy and water meters posted fourth-quarter earnings that beat expectations and announced a $100 million acquisition.

NEW YORK Investors sent U.S. stocks barreling to their highest levels of the year Thursday, buoyed by slivers of encouraging news about jobs and housing. At least for a day, they overlooked the lack of clarity about Greeces marathon negotiation for a bailout. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 123.13 points to close at 12,904.08, its third triple-digit gain this year. It was the highest close for the Dow since May 19, 2008, four months before the worst of the nancial crisis. As the Dow moved to within sight of 13,000, applause broke out at the closing bell on the oor of the New York Stock Exchange. The Standard & Poors 500 rose 14.81 points to 1,358.04, its highest close in nine and a half months. The Nasdaq composite, which has had an even stronger year than the Dow and S&P and is trading at its highest since 2000, rose 44.02 points to 2,959.85. The rally was broad, with all but one of the 30 stocks in the Dow, Kraft Foods, closing higher. All 10 industry groups in the S&P were comfortably higher, led by materials stocks, including strong showings from DuPont and Dow Chemical.

GM is a vastly different company than it was back then. Its smaller, has less debt and its contract with the United Auto Workers is less costly. But it took a $49.5 billion government bailout and bankruptcy protection in 2009 to cut its bloated costs. The company earned huge a prot even though U.S. sales of cars and trucks were near an historic low of 12.8 million. In 2012, GM expects to increase its revenue as global sales grow and it charges more for models.
Its ongoing effort to cut costs and take advantage of its global presence are also paying off. In the fourth quarter, costs fell by $500 million. It saved $100 million by cutting some of the dozens of advertising agencies and media managers it uses. It also saved $100 million by centralizing engineering. We will build on these results as we bring more new cars, crossovers and trucks to market, CEO Daniel Akerson said. GMs stock price rose $1.70, or 4 percent, to $26.01 in early afternoon trading. Thats good news for the U.S. government, which still owns 26.5 percent of the company and needs the stock price to rise signicantly before it can recoup all the bailout money. The bailout and GMs performance already are contentious issues in this years presidential campaign. Still, problems emerged for GM late
last year. Its fourth-quarter prot fell 8 percent and missed Wall Street expectations. Europe and South America reported losses. And sales growth in the U.S. slowed even as more Americans bought cars and trucks. This year, GM expects to make less money per vehicle as the mix of sales shifts to cars from trucks, which have bigger sticker prices Still, last year was a big success for the company. Revenue rose 11 percent to $150 billion. Its per-share prot was $4.58. GM made the bulk of its income in North America, where its pretax prot totaled $7.2 billion. International Operations, which includes Asia, made $1.9 billion before taxes, but that was down. GM sold 9.03 million cars and trucks around the world in 2011, up 7.6 percent from the year before. That helped it reclaim the title of worlds largest automaker from Toyota Motor Corp.
SAP completes tender offer for SuccessFactors

Enterprise software maker SAP AG said Thursday that it completed its tender offer for all the shares of SuccessFactors Inc., paving the way for its acquisition of the software company to close. The German company said in December that it would buy
SuccessFactors, which makes cloudbased human resources applications, for $40 per share, or about $3.4 billion. As of Wednesday, about 81.7 million shares of San Mateo-based companys stock, representing about 95.5 percent of its outstanding shares, had been tendered, SAP said. Once the deal closes, the remaining shareholders will receive the same $40
per share price that was paid in the tender offer. SuccessFactors will become a subsidiary of SAP America Inc. and it will ask for its shares to be delisted from the stock exchanges that are currently traded on, the companies said. In late afternoon trading, SAPs U.S. shares rose $1.36, or 2.2 percent, to $64.57, while shares of SuccessFactors rose 6 cents to $40.01. homes sold statewide in January, according to San Diego-based DataQuick. Sales were down 25.5 percent from December a normal seasonal decline but up 1.5 percent from January 2011. Sales have increased for the past six months on a year-over-year basis, DataQuick reported. DataQuick said foreclosures and short sales made up more than half the sales of existing homes. The median sales price paid in January was $236,000, down 4.1 percent from December and about half the peak price of $484,000 set in early 2007 before the housing crash. The median sales price has dropped on a year-over-year basis for the last 16 months, DataQuick said.

She hopes administrators across the nation

are paying attention. I hope they dont see this event at TCU as an isolated incident. Its not, she said. The question is, What does TCU do about it? and what
do other college administrators do? The arrests at TCU came Wednesday, just a month after the NCAA said that 22.6 percent of 20,474 student-athletes participating in an
anonymous survey in 2009 admitted to using marijuana the previous 12 months. That number was up from 21.2 percent in 2005. Among the most high-prole sports, across all divisions, 26.7 percent of football players and 22 percent of mens basketball players admitted in 2009 to using marijuana the previous year. Both were up signicantly from the 2005 numbers (21.7 percent and 18.6 percent, respectively).

Its ofcial. Carlmont girls soccer is back. For the rst time since 2007, the Scots are champions of the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division, defeating Burlingame 2-0 Thursday afternoon in the league nale. The win ends an impressive run for Carlmont in which they were forced to winout during the leagues nal week to unseat reigning champion Aragon. And led by a defense that has been solid the entire season, the Scots did just that. It feels really good, said Carlmont defender Carly Richardson. Its been a long time since weve won (a division title) and its been awesome because weve played so much together with everyone contributing. There is no one player that took it all. And coming all the way back after a rough patch in the middle I cant really express it, Im so excited. It was hard, when they blew the whistle, to not cry, not lose it, but Im just really proud of them, said Carlmont coach Tina Doss. Theyve really worked really hard for it. Ive taken them out of their comfort levels, Ive pushed them as far as they can go. There are denitely times in the season when they hated me because I was pushing and I was pushing because I knew that we were talented enough and we can do it. And the attitude the whole season was, One game at a time. And it worked. Did it ever. Doss preached defense throughout the season to her players, mixing and matching lineups, moving players from the back to the front and pushing all the right buttons when it mattered most. But despite all the senior leadership on her team, it was a freshman that stepped up the biggest for the Scots in their championship hunt.

The College of San Mateo track and eld team kicks off the 2012 season by hosting the Coast Conference Preview meet today. The eld events begin at noon, while the track events kick off at 1:30 p.m. It is one of six meets the Bulldogs will host this season. As usual, the Bulldogs will be led by their throwing athletes, who throws coach Mike Lewis has annually made one of the best units in Northern California. With an improved sprint team, head coach Joe Mangan believes this years mens team could be one of the best in recent memory. Well have some holes in the middle and long distances (races), but I expect to have a pretty successful season out of the guys side, Mangan said. This could be one of those years like 2002, where we were fourth in our conference, but fourth in [Northern California]. Josh Uikili (Mills) returns for his sophomore season as the reigning Coast Conference shot put champion and is expected to be one of the top athletes in the discipline in Northern California again this year. If he gets healthy, he should be one of the elite (throwers) in the North, Mangan said. Mangan is also expecting big things from sophomore Zeke Edwards (Sequoia), who will focus exclusively on the javelin this season after splitting his time between the spear and the decathlon last year. Despite spending much of his time participating in the 10-event deca, Edwards still managed a third-place nish in NorCals in the individual javelin and was ninth in the state, missing a podium nish

Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter dies at 57

By Ben Walker
NEW YORK Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter, whose single for the New York Mets in the 1986 World Series touched off one of the most improbable rallies in baseball, died Thursday. He was 57. Carter was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor last May, two weeks after nishing his second season as coach at Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida. I am deeply saddened to tell you all that my precious dad went to be with Jesus today
at 4:10 p.m., Carters daughter Kimmy Bloemers wrote on the family website. This is the most difcult thing I have ever had to write in my entire life but I wanted you all to know. Carter was an 11-time Gary Carter All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner. His bottom-of-the-10th single in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series helped the New York Mets mount a charge against the Boston Red Sox
and eventually beat them. His nickname The Kid captured how Gary approached life, the Mets said in a statement. He did everything with enthusiasm and with gusto on and off the eld. His smile was infectious. ... He was a Hall of Famer in everything he did. Carter played nearly two decades with the Mets, Montreal, San Francisco and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He led the Expos to their only playoff berth and was the rst player enshrined in Cooperstown wearing an Expos cap. Carter was known as much for his efferves-
cent personality as his talents at the plate and behind it. He earned his nickname as an eager teen in his rst major league camp and the label stuck for the rest of his career, and beyond. An exuberant on-eld general with a signature smile who was known for clutch hitting and rock-solid defense over 19 seasons, reads his Hall plaque. The bronze plaque shows him with a toothy grin, too, forever the Kid. Gary was one of the happiest guys in the world every day, Mets teammate Mookie Wilson once said.

13-0 run fuels Mills win over Half Moon Bay

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Using a methodical and efcient offense, the Half Moon Bay boys basketball the Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division winners had Mills on the ropes in the rst half. But the Vikings showed the Cougars the difference between an Ocean Division opponent and one that plays in the PAL Bay. Mills, which nished second in the PALs top division, used a 13-0 run at the end of the rst half to propel the Vikings to a 51-39 win in the PAL tournament quarternals Thursday night in Millbrae. (We had a) little slow start, said Mills coach Rick Hanson. It was important we got that run late in the second quarter. Mills will face Bay Division foe Burlingame in a seminal contest at 4:30 p.m. today at Sequoia. Half Moon Bay connected on 5 of 8 shots in the rst quarter and were 3 of 6 from the oor in the second. The Cougars were so efcient, they used a 8-0 run through the middle part of the second quarter to take a 19-12 lead with 2:32 left in the half, negating a strong start from Mills
guard Matty Wong. Unfortunately for the Cougars, they could not contain the lightning-quick Wong, who scored 13 rst-half points including ve points during the Vikings 13-0 run to end the half. They turned a seven-point decit into a 25-19 lead at halftime. And Wong was just warming up. He went for 14 more points in the second half to nish with a game-high 27 points, knocking down 10 eld goals including a pair of 3-pointers to go along with a perfect night from the free-throw line, 5 for 5. [Wong has] been playing real well, Hanson said. Hes just doing great. Half Moon Bay coach Rich Forslund knew the key to beating the Vikings was to contain W o n g . The Cougars didnt do a very good job of that. We said at the beginning of the game, if he goes off, were done, Forslund said. He causes all kind of havoc when he gets in the lane. Wong was the only Viking to score in double gures. Center Brandon Berkovatz added eight points, along with nine rebounds and six blocks. Half Moon Bay was led by Dominique
Williams 12 points. Bill Floyd chipped in with nine. Halftime allowed Half Moon Bay to regroup and the Cougars stayed within shouting distance of Mills in the third quarter. A Williams threepoint play got the Cougars to 27-24, and when Carter White drained a 3, Half Moon Bay trailed by just a point, 28-27, with 4:53 left in the third quarter. The Cougars managed only one bucket the rest of the quarter, but they were down only six, 35-29, going into the nal eight minutes. Mills opened the nal eight minutes with a 63 run and when Wong hit a fastbreak layup, the Vikings had their biggest lead of the game, 4232, with 4:56 to play. The Cougars, however, had a chance to push Mills late. A basket and a free throw from Floyd cut Half Moon Bays decit to 42-35, but the Cougars proceeded to miss three straight free throws after that. Wong then nished with a ourish for Mills, scoring seven of his teams nal nine points to seal the win. Mills 26-point second half was jump-started by its explosion at the end of the rst half, which Hanson believed was the key to victory. We hadnt played that poorly (in the rst half) in quite some time, Hanson said.

Defense leads San Mateo to win over Dons

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The basketball rims at San Mateo High School may reside in the same city, but Thursday night in the quarternals of the PAL tournament, they treated neighbors Aragon quite rudely. The Dons made the short drive to visit the Bearcats as champions of the Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division, but they learned just how good the upper third of the league is, falling to No. 2 seed San Mateo 47-36. The loss was due in large part to a second half that saw Aragon shoot 17 percent from the oor. The ball was just not going in for us, said Dons coach Annette Gennaro-Trimble. If a couple of those shots fall in the second half, it could have been a totally different game. San Mateo is a really good team. Their defense is really good. It was that defense that stepped up and led the Bearcats to the win. With 6:46 left in the game and San Mateo up nine, head coach Nancy Dinges called a time-out, sensing her team needed a little extra push. Her message in the huddle? Desire and defense.
We were making mental mistakes, Dinges said. And I thought we needed a spark and to focus on bringing back that San Mateo style of basketball. The Bearcats answered the call in the form of back-to-back steals that led to back-to-back buckets. At the forefront of that defense was Candace Stephens, who Dinges referred to as the best defensive player Ive ever coached. With the way Stephens attacked the basketball throughout the game, its hard to argue against that statement. She was the spark the Bearcats needed. Up until that point, the game had the feel of a team in San Mateo who was in control, but was one or two big Aragon shots from making things very interesting. That was due to the Dons commitment to the boards. Aragon out-rebounded the Bearcats 16-12 in the rst half and despite its 5-of-25 shooting, the Dons found themselves only down seven come the break. I was pretty happy at halftime, Gennaro-Trimble said. They were doing a good job at that point, playing defense and hustling. Aragon continued that trend in the third quarter, limiting San Mateo to only seven points in the frame. What doomed the Dons, however, was their icy touch from the oor. Aragon missed its rst 11 shots in the quarter and while the Dons were still ahead in the rebounding category,
they only scored ve points in the period and knocked down only a lone shot, which came with 36 seconds left in the third. Aragon did get a bucket right out of the gate in the fourth quarter, a jumper by Justine Kubo. But it then that Dinges called the timeout and rallied her troops. We are good at getting steals, Dinges said. And I think our ve started trusting each other in the defense. Dinges wake-up call worked and the Bearcats went on a 102 to put some serious distance between them and the Dons. San Mateo rode the hot hand of Stephens in that stretch and Alana Simon caught re near the games end. The offense was a little stagnant, Dinges said. But we made the shots when we needed to make them. Simon scored 19 points, nine in the second half. Stephens nished with 13. Jane Hafoka scored only four points, but pulled down 13 rebounds. Kubo led all Aragon scorers with 12. Corie Stocker added eight. Next up for San Mateo is the No. 3 seed Mills in the rst seminal of the PAL tournament. Mills is a very good team, Dinges said. Were going to go in with our game plan and itll be up to us to execute. If we play our game, there isnt another team that can stop us. Mills is a good team, they run a good defensive set, but were going to go in there and try to play San Mateo basketball.

U.S.Olympic coaches embrace womens boxing

By Greg Beacham
AIRWAY HEIGHTS, Wash. When the first female boxers showed up at Al Mitchells gym in northern Michigan several years ago, the U.S. Olympic Education Centers head coach had no interest in teaching women how to ght. They didnt impress me, Mitchell said. They were sloppy, and they were wild. I wouldnt train any of them. Basheer Abdullah had much the same reaction to the rst women who stepped through the glass ropes at his Army gyms a decade ago, while Tom Mustin didnt even see women in his Tacoma Boxing Club for nearly a decade after a Washington teenagers landmark lawsuit against USA Boxing allowed female fighters into its events in 1993. Mustin gured his coaching style was tougher than a woman could handle. Yet earlier this week, these three former coaches of the U.S. Olympic mens boxing team were ringside at the rst womens boxing team trials,
The reason they impress me is that they want to prove to men that theyre just as good or better than them,and theyve got good listening skills.They want knowledge.They want to learn.
Al Mitchell,U.S.Olympic boxing coach
leading some of their favorite students. When Queen Underwood beat fellow lightweight contender Mikaela Mayer on Tuesday, all three veteran masterminds of the mens amateur game were in their corners, strapping on headgear and imparting strategy. Talent and tenacity changed their minds about womens boxing, and all three coaches are happy they came around. I just thought this wasnt a place for a female athlete, and I didnt want to see them go through that, said Abdullah, a 15-year veteran of the Armys World Class Athlete Program. But I found out differently. I realized they have something special. Years removed from that initial skepticism, the coaches have all taken to womens boxing as a pure
version of their sport, lled with eager athletes who can use their coaches international experience heading to the London Olympics. Between the men boxers and the women boxers, the women seem like they want it more, said Mitchell, who learned his sport in the same North Philadelphia gyms that produced Joe Frazier. The reason they impress me is that they want to prove to men that theyre just as good or better than them, and theyve got good listening skills. They want knowledge. They want to learn. Although the medal success of the U.S. mens Olympic teams has dropped over the past two decades, these coaches know every corner of the amateur game. Mitchell started coaching at 17 and eventually led the U.S. team at
the Atlanta Games in 1996, coaching Floyd Mayweather Jr., Antonio Tarver and David Reid. Mustin had a strong three-year run culminating in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney with Jermain Taylor, Jeff Lacy and Rocky Juarez, while Abdullah coached the 2004 U.S. mens team in Athens led by medalists Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell. The women following in those ghters footwork realize what they can learn from these wizened veterans. Mayer moved from sunny Southern California to frigid Marquette, Mich., a year ago just to work with Mitchell. Ever since I started training with him, I jump to a whole new level every month, Mayer said. Every training camp, Im just amazed ... what hes been able to do with me. Hes an amazing coach.
Although women boxed in exhibitions at the Olympics more than a century ago, womens boxing is in its adolescence as an organized sport. The International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA) sanctioned Olympic-style boxing for women in 1994, holding its rst world championships in 2001. The International Olympic Committee didnt add womens boxing to the summer games until August 2009. While some ghters hailed the decision as long overdue for the only summer sport without a female Olympic analogue, the three coaches feel the IOC knew what it was doing. This is about the right time, said Mustin, who works closely with Underwood. I remember when Christy Martin was ghting in the pros. They kept throwing people at her, and these people didnt have the experience to be boxing against her. The sport wasnt there yet. Now, the experience female boxers have gained, its just like being with the men. I think their level has come up to the mens level now for competition and (parity).
Phil Mickelson returns to the top of leaderboard

LOS ANGELES Four days after his big win at Pebble Beach, Phil Mickelson keeps right on rolling. Mickelson hit driver off the deck from just under 300 yards on the par-5 11th that led to a two-putt birdie, and he ended a gorgeous afternoon Thursday at Riviera by chipping in from 35 feet for birdie. That gave him a 5-under 66 and a one-shot lead in the Northern Trust Open. Dating to the back nine of his second round at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, Mickelson has made birdie or eagle on one-third of the holes he has played. And his streak of consecutive holes without a bogey finally ended at 49 on the par-3 16th. No matter. He looked good with the putter and with his low, penetrating tee shots that he kept below the tree line on a windy day that
prevented low scoring. J.B. Holmes, in his fourth tournament since returning from brain surgery in September, played his final Phil Mickelson six holes without a par. His round ended with a 315-yard tee shot a big drive in the cool air of Los Angeles in February and an approach to 8 feet for birdie at No. 9, the second-toughest hole at Riviera. That gave him a 4-under 67. He was tied with Hunter Mahan, whose 35-foot birdie at No. 5 sent him on a string of four straight birdies. They all played in the afternoon, when the wind began to die late in the day. Jonathan Byrd, who faced the
chilly, blustery conditions of the morning, had a 68. He was joined by Carl Pettersson. The first round was suspended by darkness with 30 players yet to finish the round, a typical occurrence at this tournament with 144man field and limited daylight. Mickelson is coming off an 8under 64 in the final round at Pebble Beach, where he rallied from a six-shot deficit and beat playing partner Tiger Woods by 11 shots to change the outlook on his West Coast Swing. Riviera is his final tournament before the tour moves to Florida, and even on a different golf course, not much has changed. He holed a 30-foot birdie putt on the long par-3 fourth hole, and then really got going on the back nine. After a tough pitch to 12 feet that led to birdie on the 10th, Mickelson had 297 yards to the hole on the 11th and decided to hit driver, a shot he had not tried in months.
It came off perfectly and climbed onto the front edge of the green, making Mickelson the only player to have an eagle putt on the 587yard hole, which played right into the wind. The pin was all the way back, away from a large hump in the putting surface, which gave Mickelson the green light. His eagle putt from 60 feet died next to the hole. I didnt think it was going to necessarily be reachable into that wind, but I was able to hit a low drive off the tee that scooted along the ground, and I felt like if I could hit one more of those with a driver I could get right up by the green, Mickelson said. I felt like it was worth the risk to try to scoop one up. The chip-in from behind the 18th was a bonus. Mickelson made his lone bogey when his chip behind the 16th green ran 7 feet past the cup, and
he missed the putt. On the 17th, his wedge rolled back to 7 feet for birdie, but the putt slid by on the left. He faced another quick chip on the 18th, but it dropped in with perfect speed. It wasnt one I was really trying to make, he said. It was quick, it was downhill, and I had to play about four or five feet of break, so its not one that youre trying to get aggressive with. I was trying to get good speed and try to let it feed with the break, and I got fortunate, obviously, that it went in. Holmes was the first player to reach 5 under, and thats where his fun began consecutive bogeys when he failed to get up-and-down from just short of the green; a tapin birdie at the par-3 sixth, with the pin below the bunker in the middle of the green; an 18-foot birdie on the seventh, a three-putt double bogey on the eighth and the birdie at the end.

to do and cover each others backs. All over the eld, everyone is playing defense, not just the back line. Coming into to Thursdays nale, the Scots had to beat Burlingame to win the division outright. A tie means we dont win PAL, Doss said. They knew what they had to do to win PAL. The scored was tied at zero come halftime. It was at that point that players from the Aragon soccer team trickled onto the Burlingame campus following their 4-0 win over Capuchino. They were there to support the Panthers and cheer for the upset that would give them at least a share of the division crown. But Said took care of that ve minutes into the half. It was a goal that allowed the Scots to calm down. Everyone was denitely nervous, but really pumped, Richardson said. After these past three games we knew what was on the line and, just once we found out that we could come in rst, everyone worked real hard and put everything out on the eld. It came together. After Saids goal, it was Mary Cochran who sealed the deal for the Scots in the 70th minute. The score wasnt the most charming of strikes, but it got the job done and for a program like Carlmonts, who prior to 2007 won 11 Bay titles and a pair of CCS trophies, Cochrans goal couldnt have been any sweeter. As seniors, weve always wanted to get it (a division title) and just now, nally get back into it, having a team of really good girls and a really good future, its just really exciting to get the title back, Richardson said.

by one spot. With his focus now exclusively on throwing, Mangan expects Edwards to take a big step forward. He should be shooting for that 200-foot mark (which is the mark of elite college javelin throwers), Magan said. He threw 185 last year. Its something he can build toward. Last year, toward the end of the season, he had a lot of health issues which affected his ability to throw well in the javelin. Also returning is Nathan Wright (Mitty), who missed the 2011 season with illness. In 2010, his freshman season, he was the Coast Conference champion in the javelin and the discus, qualifying for the state meet in both disciplines. He got really sick during the holiday season (in 2010) and dropped a lot of weight, Mangan said. Technically, hes very strong and sound. Joining the throws squad this season in Evan McDaniel (Spanish Springs-Sparks, Nev.). He was an 185-foot discus thrower in high school before attending University of Nevada which did not have a track and eld team. After getting a bachelors degree, he is working toward his masters degree. Mangan said he saw McDaniel working out at the CSM facilities one day and started talking to him. Because he didnt participate in athletics at Nevada, he still has college eligibility. We expect big things from him, Mangan said. On the track, Mangan is expecting a couple of newcomers to anchor the running events. Delvonte Johnson (Mission TrailElk Grove) was the Sac-Joaquin Section 400 meter champion last year. It was his rst year ever running the 400, Mangan said, adding he expects Johnson to also be a member of the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams. [The 400] is probably his best distance. Roman Skovronski (Newark Memorial) should be the Bulldogs top hurdler. He nishing third in 300 hurdles at the North Coast Section championships last spring. Hes had a very good fall training, Mangan said. The womens side does not have a lot of depth, but sophomore thrower Nikki Uikili (Mills), Joshs younger sister, should earn a lot of points all by herself. She is the defending NorCal javelin champion, but is also one of the top throwers in the discus, shot put and hammer, as well. She is one of those rare athletes who is good in all four (throws), Mangan said. Nikki Uikili, despite her success in Northern California last year, could not translate it to a strong performance in the state meet in 2011. She threw very poorly at state. She didnt make the top 10, Mangan said. (But) she should be among the state leaders (this year). Shes had a solid fall of training.

Soha Said stayed hot, following her two-goal performance against Aragon on Tuesday, with another tally in the 45th minute to put the Scots up 1-0. Fittingly though, it was a superbly ltered through ball off the right foot of defender Amelia Jacobs that found a streaking Said. No. 22 corralled the ball with the poise of a senior inside the penalty area and beat the Burlingame keeper to the far side for the prettiest goal Carlmont fans have seen in ve years. I think she started the season off a little bit tentative, Doss said of Said. I think she was worried about being a freshman, worried about the team getting mad at her for dribbling. I dont know if I heard her say that once and I think it was a matter of getting her comfortable with the team and with the players and realizing that they want her to turn and go to goal, they want her to dribble and as soon as she started guring that out, she really came on. Everybody saw her come on. Said was the Carlmont offense in the last half of the regular season. And her contribution couldnt have come at a bigger time considering Melissa Wood, who was the Carlmont offense in the seasons initial stages, went down with a season-ending injury halfway through the year. With a defense like Carlmonts, having a player of Saids ability was a god-send. We are a defensive team, Doss said. I turned defenders into forwards because I needed more people up front and we continued to hit peoples feet. You can see most of our attacks start with our defenders and we build our way up, do a lot of switching and crossing, and thats coming from overlapping runs from my defense. I dont know if theres really a secret, Richardson added about her teams defense. But after playing together for a long time, we communicate pretty well and just know what each other is going
San Mateo 4,Terra Nova 0

The Bearcats Shannon Wischer said good-bye to her PAL days with a hat trick in San Mateos 4-0 win over Terra Nova. The win gives the Bearcats a 6-5-3 record in the Bay Division this year. Hayley Walker also scored a goal for San Mateo. bong, lets be honest, somethings not right there. The National Center for Drug Free Sport administers drug tests for more than 250 colleges as well as the NCAA. Wickerham said testing is the most effective deterrent and works best if it is consistently inconsistent. You want to test often enough so athletes truly believe they have a likelihood of being selected, she said. If youre only doing it once a semester, or if you do it only when you hear about a bad event, thats not a huge deterrent over time. More than 90 percent of the schools in Division I, more than 50 percent in Division II and about 20 percent in Division III have drug-testing programs, NCAA associate director of educational affairs Mary Wilfert said. Many offer counseling and treatment programs for those who test positive. It is common for an athlete to be suspended for a year, or permanently, after a third positive test. Seminars addressing the dangers of substance abuse and outlining testing programs and penalties are annual events at many colleges. Still, the evidence shows marijuana use is on the rise, despite what Wilfert said was an intensied effort the past four or ve years to curb its use. The NCAA and athletic departments are exploring ways to keep athletes from using marijuana or stopping the activity. Wilfert said peer intervention has become a popular tactic, with non-using athletes talking to marijuana-using teammates about the potential risks.

The report has been done every four years since 1985 and alcohol always has been the overwhelming substance of choice. Marijuana is No. 2. The NCAA tests for marijuana at its championship events and football bowl games but not in its year-round testing program that has been in place since 1990. In 2009-10, the most recent academic year for which data is available, 72 of 1,645 tested athletes (4.3 percent) turned up positive for marijuana. That was up from 28 of 1,799 tested athletes (1.6 percent) in 2008-09. Chris Herren, a former player at Fresno State who struggled with cocaine and marijuana in college and during his brief stay in the NBA, said his marijuana use in high school led to his welldocumented problems. Herren, who said he has been clean since 2008, travels the country lecturing high school and college athletes about the dangers of street drugs. Herren acknowledges the power of addiction. But with a clear mind now, he said, he cant help but nd the survey ndings and NCAA testing results disheartening. We can sit here and say marijuana is no big deal, he said. But in (athletes) situations, it is a big deal. If theyre willing to throw away $200,000 of their education because of a blunt or a

Lightning 6, Sharks 5
Sharks 6-5. The teams announced a trade before the game, with the Sharks obtaining center Dominic Moore and a seventh-round draft pick this year for a 2012 second-round pick. Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman said the team also plans to keep Pavel Kubina out of the lineup while it attempts to trade the defenseman. Were not looking just to get rid of guys, Yzerman said. If we got offers that were really good, we would act on it. Getting the second-round pick is very valuable to us. St. Louis got the winner from close range off a pass from Victor Hedman, who tied a career high with three assists. Stamkos has 158 goals and 298 points overall. Teddy Purcell and Steve Downie had the other Tampa Bay goals. The Pacic Division-leading Sharks got

Tampa scores in final minute of OT to beat Sharks

TAMPA, Fla. The Tampa Bay Lightning are a long shot to make the playoffs and are sellers as the trade deadline nears. None of that mattered Thursday night. Martin St. Louis scored his second goal of the game 4:27 into overtime, Steven Stamkos had two goals his NHL-leading 38th and 39th and two assists in his 300th career game, and the Lightning beat the San Jose
goals from Logan Couture, Michal Handzus, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Colin White and Tommy Wingels, who got San Jose even at 5 during a 2-on-1 with 5:10 remaining in the third. Stamkos made it 4-4, scoring from the slot 2:44 into the third. St. Louis gave the Lightning a 5-4 lead at 8:01 when his shot from along the goal line went off San Joses Justin Braun and past goalie Antti Niemi.

Corvette celebrates Chevys 100th

By Ann M. Job
The Corvette wasnt around 100 years ago when Chevrolet was born. But for 2012, the iconic two-seater gets a Chevrolet Centennial Special Edition package that founder and racing pioneer Louis Chevrolet could have loved. The Centennial package of suspension control, special graphics, badging and interior comes on Corvettes in only one color black inside and out. The rst Chevrolet built in 1911 in Detroit was black, too. But the 2012 Corvette Centennial Special Editions sinister look, created by modern Carbon Flash metallic exterior paint accented by satin black exterior graphics, is anything but old. Applied to the low-slung, pavementhugging Corvette, the look can appeal to drivers wanting a distinctive, edgy appearance on a car with ample power. And the package comes as the Corvette is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports magazine with a predicted reliability of average. Priced as a $4,950 option, the centennial package is available on various 2012 Corvette coupes and convertibles, starting with the Grand Sport 3LT coupe with six-speed manual that has a starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including destination charge, of $61,995. The lowest starting retail price for an automatic-transmission, 2012 Corvette that can add the Centennial package is the Grand Sport 3LT coupe automatic at $64,220, according to the Chevrolet consumer website. High-performance competitors tend to be higher priced. For example, the 2013 Nissan GT-R has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $97,820, and the 2013 GT-Rs Black Edition with black wheels and paint and carbon ber spoiler starts at $107,320. Meantime, the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S starts at $91,450. Corvettes have long had their fans and collectors, and U.S. sales in calendar 2011 rose 4.3 percent, to 13,164 from a year earlier. But annual sales totaled 30,000-plus in the mid 2000s. Blame it on the depressed economy, gasoline prices and parent company General Motors nancial problems.

the two-mode mufer system with four tailpipes. The Z06 is a lightweight, 3,200pound car, so it reacted fast. The tester, with optional carbon ber body pieces, often pushed the drivers head and back into the seatbacks as it thrust forward forcefully in even mild maneuvers. But there was some shake in the body as rolled over road bumps. The ride was stiff in touring suspension mode and harsh in sport mode. Either way, the Corvette was intimately in touch with the pavement. Fuel mileage isnt usually something to boast about in high-performance cars. But in 65 percent city and 35 percent highway driving, the test Z06 averaged a surprising, real-world 18 miles per gallon. This is spot on with the federal governments posted combined mileage rating of 15 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on highways. In comparable driving, a 2012 Volvo S60 averaged only 19.4 mpg from a 3-liter, turbocharged, sixcylinder engine. The Corvette has seats only for two, but the Z06 seats were the best Corvette resting spots to nd in years. They were well-padded in the right spots and nicely sculpted, though not to an extreme. Inside, the red stitching on the seats, steering wheel and dashboard was aligned and attractive, and t and nish was excellent overall. But the navigation system display is small and seems outdated by todays nav system standards. It was disconcerting to see the screen surface push inward, rather than hold solid, when the radios touch screen was used. Passengers must drop down onto the low seats and then climb back up when they exit. Some had to put hands on the door sills to lift themselves out of the Corvette. Views out back are severely obscured by the large metal pillar around the rear window glass. Driver and passenger cant see much in front of them, either, because the Corvette sits so low to the pavement. With a Range Rover in front of the Corvette, the driver was at eye level with the lower part of the sport utility vehicles rear bumper.

While competitors have a relatively skimpy selection of powerplants, Chevrolet offers many versions of Corvettes. They range from the base 1LT with 430-horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8 to the Z06 with 505-horsepower, 7liter, naturally aspirated V-8 to the ZR1 with 638-horsepower, supercharged, 6.2-liter V-8. The breadth of performance, and car personality, is impressive. Base Corvettes are suited more for regular roads, while the test Corvette a Z06 coupe with centennial package and ultimate performance package was a machine looking for a racetrack. The testers overhead valve V-8 had monstrous power that made merging into highway trafc seem like launch mode.

Government: Curb car dashboard technology

By Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON Auto dashboards are becoming an arcade of text messages, GPS images, phone calls and web surng, the government says, and its asking carmakers to curb those distractions when vehicles are moving. Manufacturers have been loading up higher-end vehicles with an array of built-in gadgets in an effort to tempt car buyers who want to multitask behind the wheel in todays increasingly connected society. But the technological advances have raised concerns that drivers attention is being diverted too much from the road. The National Highway Trafc Safety Administration on Thursday proposed voluntary guidelines for
manufacturers, including a recommendation that they design dashboards so that distracting devices are automatically disabled unless the vehicle is stopped and the transmission is in park. We recognize that vehicle manufacturers want to build vehicles that include the tools and conveniences expected by todays American drivers, said NHTSA Administrator David Strickland. The guidelines were proposing would offer realworld guidance to automakers to help them develop electronic devices that provide features consumers want without disrupting a drivers attention or sacricing safety. Gloria Bergquist, vice president of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, said carmakers will review the guidelines, which have a 60-day comment period.
Time for a little adventure

By David Germain
Considering the eccentric, almost psychedelic fantasy worlds created in Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazakis tales, a story of tiny people living beneath the
oorboards of a house seems almost normal. The Secret World of Arrietty, from Miyazakis Studio Ghibli, also is a pleasant antidote to the siege mentality of so many Hollywood cartoons, whose makers aim to occupy every instant of the
audiences attention with an assault of noise and images. Slow, stately, gentle and meditative, Arrietty nevertheless is a marvel of image and color, its old-fashioned pen-and-ink frames vividly bringing to life the world of childrens author Mary
Nortons The Borrowers. Already a hit in Japan, Arrietty has undergone the typically classy English-language transformation that Disney renders to Studio Ghiblis lms, among them Miyazakis Academy AwardSee ARRIETTY, Page 22

Twisted Metal stuck in gridlock

By Lou Kesten
I work in Washington, D.C., which has some of the worst trafc in the United States. So I spend a lot of time in gridlock, wondering how much faster I could get to work if my car was equipped with rocket launchers. Sonys Twisted Metal games have been answering that question since 1995, allowing us to vent our road rage in the safe, legal connes of our own living rooms. After a few years in the garage, series creators David Jaffe and Scott Campbell have nally rolled out the first Twisted Metal ($59.99) for the PlayStation 3 and while it still delivers plenty of multiplayer mayhem, its solo campaign is about as much fun as changing a at. The game takes place in a sort of alternate America where a ruthless billionaire named Calypso stages massive demolition derbies for his own amusement. The star attraction is Sweet Tooth, a abby serial killer who wears a aming clown mask. He drives a souped-up ice-cream truck, but instead of Bomb Pops, its stocked with actual explosives and it can transform into a killer robot. The other vehicles in Twisted Metal range from zippy but vulnerable hot rods to sluggish but heavily armored behemoths. Theres a motorcycle equipped with a grenade launcher, a hearse that shoots cofns and a station wagon strapped to tank treads. For the rst time in the series, you can take ight, picking
off the competition from the turret of a helicopter. Online, you can battle against up to 15 other drivers. The multiplayer modes include the usual death match and last man standing events, as well as Hunted, a sort of reverse game of tag in which everyone else is trying to kill it. The newest addition is Nuke, a more sadistic take on Capture the Flag. Nothing terribly original here, but a good way to blow off steam. The single-player campaign is less satisfying. It tells the stories of three characters Sweet Tooth, death-masked motorcyclist Mr. Grimm and mutilated ex-model Dollface as they ght through a series of challenges. Each has been promised her or her hearts desire by Calypso; each learns, in a morbidly comic twist, that one should be careful what one wishes for. The stories wont surprise anyone whos ever seen Tales From the Crypt, and theyre not worth the aggravation of forcing yourself through Calypsos events. In most of the challenges, youre dropped in an area with a halfdozen computer-controlled opponents; you have to destroy them all to move on. Even on the easiest difculty level, the games articial intelligence seems unfair, with all the enemy vehicles ganging up on you. And the racing stages are next to impossible to win if you fall behind because the A.I.controlled cars still attack you rather than the leader.
When the demonic rst-person game The Darkness was released in 2007, it was a twisted breath of fresh air among all the war simulators and space-marine romps. AP video game reviewer Lou Kesten called it an intriguing mix of stealth and rst-person shooting. Unfortunately, a sequel thats arrived ve years later isnt as much of a revelation. The Darkness II (2K Games, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, $59.99), developed by Digital Extremes instead of Starbreeze Studios, feels like an unworthy follow-up thats just a little too late. Jackie Estacado is back as a mob boss possessed by an ancient baddie known as the Darkness, which appears as snakelike tentacles jutting from his back. After two years of keeping the Darkness at bay, an assassination attempt reanimates those light-averse supernatural forces residing within Jackie, who is still reeling from the shocking death of his girlfriend in the rst game. The story by veteran comic-book writer Paul Jenkins is frustratingly uneven, and the single-player campaign is far too short.
The sequel switches up the Darkness abilities, opting for a gory shoot-em-up focus instead of open-ended sneakiness. With the two extra limbs, Jackie can use car doors as makeshift shields while wielding Uzis in both hands. They can also be used for bashing bad guys, creating ammo and slicing electrical wires. The levels a subway, warehouse, mansion, carnival, etc. are not only cliched, theyre also more linear than the rst games playgrounds. The never-ending barrage of religious fanatics attacking Jackie is pretty boring. Theyre too easy to put down and come in just a few varieties. The Darkness II wisely trades the realistic style of the original for a more colorful cell-shaded aesthetic, recalling the games origins as a popular Top Cow comic book, and old-school tunes like Ram Jams Black Betty and Tone Locs Wild Thing organically plopped into Jackies urban environment make The Darkness II a more dynamic experience. Besides those few ourishing touches, the only saving grace of The Darkness II is a fun multiplayer mode that extends the single-player campaign in ways that are more exciting than the single-player campaign itself. Players can embark on cooperative missions as one of Jackies four assassin pals, each with their own Darkness-inspired powers and weapons.

Kitchen takes spotlight at Mount Vernon

MOUNT VERNON, Va. A heart-shaped wafe iron? It sounds like the kind of last-minute gift a husband buys for his wife at if he forgot owers on Valentines Day. But this particular heart-shaped wafe iron belonged to none other than the father of our country, George Washington. The wafe iron and dozens of other food-related items are going on display at Washingtons Mount Vernon estate for a new exhibition, Hoecakes & Hospitality: Cooking with Martha Washington. The exhibition, which opens Saturday in the museum on the estates grounds, features a number of unusual kitchen items that belonged to the Washingtons: Theres a specialized preserving kettle, which looks more or less like a wok that Martha Washington used and brought with her to Mount Vernon when she married George Wa s h i n g t o n . And theres a specially contoured pan that for many years Martha Washington was mistakenly assumed to be an egg poacher, but on further research was determined to be a pofferties pan, used to make a sort of specialized, puffed Dutch pancake. Dictionary author Noah Webster even recalled eating this species of pancake, as he described it, at Mount Vernon in 1785. The variety of specialized cookware was characteristic of an elite, wealthy Virginia kitchen, said Susan Schoelwer, curator at Mount Vernon. The exhibits provide some insights into Washingtons preferred eating habits. Numerous written accounts document Washingtons appreciation for hoecakes, a pancake made of cornmeal that could be cooked, if need be, out in the eld over open coals on the surface of a garden hoe. Washington was said to prefer his swimming in butter and honey. Schoelwer surmised that soft foods like hoecakes may well have appealed to Washington in part because of his notorious dental problems, though she joked that a regular diet of honey-drenched hoecakes may well have caused the problem in the rst place. Washington was also a fan of olives he kept a three-foot tall olive jar and preferred French varieties to Spanish and a brandy drink called cherry bounce, which he was known to take on the road with him.

Divino Downtown Italy in Belmont, CA

Many great things have been said about the food, service, and atmosphere at Ristorante Divino that I would just like to add my applause to the menu. By combining current Italian fare with California styles, Chef Vincenzo Cucco creates tasty and satisfying dishes for all palates. A beautifully presented Corvina Sea Bass is sauted with potato velute underneath and then topped with a tomato, avocado and onion relish. The poultry is often prepared in traditional styles as well as some interesting creations such as Pollo in Porchetta which is a roasted breast of chicken stuffed

with prosciutto, fennel seeds and arugola in a white wine sauce. Tasty pasta dishes such as Ravioli di Magro (homemade ravioli stuffed with Swiss chard and ricotta covered in a creamy white walnut sauce) meet the short list along with spaghetti putanesca con pescespada: thin spaghetti with Sicilian olives, capers, fresh sauted swordsh and spicy tomato sauce. Not to be neglected on the menu, Cucco prepares his signature pasta dish for lunch and dinner, an artisan tube pasta with Italian sausage meat, green peas, roasted red bell peppers and a creamy tomato sauce perfectly seasoned. Gluten free pasta is always on hand. There are salads and panini for the vegetarians and of course ordering off the menu is not discouraged. Divino was established in 2006 by Chef Owner Vincenzo Cucco and Paolo Dominici, founders of popular BACCO in San Franciscos Noe Valley. Cucco hails from Sicily where he completed his training and
went on to work at the Prestigious Do Forni in Venice, Italy.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
Now, about a third of the district is in an area where Hill is well known and a third of the district is in an area where Lieber is well known, she told the Daily Journal. It is the third of voters in the middle of the district that Hill and Lieber will likely cross paths the most, she said. Im delighted with the changes with the map, she said. San Mateo County has some of the best communities on the Peninsula. She has been endorsed by Coastside Democrats, the California Teachers Association and the League of Conservation Voters. Her primary issues of concern are education and the environment, she said. It is going to be a good race. Competition is what the voters deserve, Lieber said. Hill has been hitting the campaign trail hard and has spent much time courting votes in Santa Clara County since the lines have been redrawn. His list of endorsements is long, including seven out of nine current members of the Palo Alto City Council, Mountain View Mayor Mike Kasperzak Jr., all of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors and U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, among literally hundreds of other endorsements. San Mateo and Santa Clara counties have a tremendous amount of commonality, Hill told the Daily Journal, including regional transportation issues, the value for open space and the innovation economy. A strong point for me is sustaining innovation, Hill said. Supporting companies in new technologies lead to good-paying jobs in the area, he said. He touted his help in bringing solar giant SunEdison to Belmont last year as it relocated its headquarters from the East Coast. It is fairly late in the game for other Democrats to jump in the race, Mullin said. He has amassed nearly $100,000 for his campaign so far. Gilham is still getting his paperwork together and has yet to qualify for the ballot, he told the Daily Journal. He is a Republican from Redwood City who works as a television producer. He was drawn to the race by the high-speed rail project, which he opposes, and the states escalating pension obligations. Mullin, like Jerry Hill, has also amassed a deep number of endorsements including Eshoo, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, the entire San Mateo County Board of Supervisors and Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San Francisco. Hill and Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, also endorse Mullin. Mullin is excited about the prospect of joining the Assembly at a time when great turnover will take place due to redistricting. He suspects redistricting will bring a host of new members to the Assembly, both Republican and Democrat, who are on the more moderate side of issues. There will potentially be more moderate members from both parties. Im looking forward to reaching out to freshman Republicans, if Im elected, who are willing to turn the page and start a new day in Sacramento, he said. Currently, Mullin said, the state is stuck in partisan paralysis. Maintaining education funding is one of his top priorities.
THE DAILY JOURNAL

Yang also opposes the states proposed high-speed rail project, although he initially supported it, and said the states education problems are not necessarily due to money woes. It is not money we lack but the lack of new ideas that is hurting education, Rich Gordon he said. He also thinks the California High-Speed Rail Authority needs to change the way it does business. The way the authority has wasted money is not the way things should be done, he told the Daily Journal. As Gordon winds down his second year in ofce, he Chengzhi GeorgeYang points to his accomplishments regarding the environment and government efciency. He was the most productive legislator in Sacramento last year, with 15 of his 19 bills signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown. He currently chairs the Assemblys Budget Subcommittee on Resources and Transportation and serves on the Budget, Health, Local Government, Joint Sunset Review and Revenue and Taxation committees. He also co-chairs the Bay Area Caucus and is a member of the Environmental Caucus and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender caucus. His endorsements include Eshoo, Simitian, Ma and Santa Clara County supervisors Liz Kniss and Ken Yeager among many others. Prior to his election to the Assembly, Gordon served on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors for 13 years. Other candidates may emerge for any of these three seats as the ling deadline is not until March 9.

State Senate District 13

So far, three candidates have announced their intentions to run for this new seat, including Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo; Sally Lieber, who previously served in the Assembly; and Mountain View school teacher Chris Chiang. With most of the new district sitting in Hills base of San Mateo County (about 70 percent of the Jerry Hill districts registered voters reside here), Lieber, who was termed out of the Assembly in 2008, has had to bring her message to areas she has never had to campaign in before. Lieber, the former mayor of Mountain View, has campaigned in Sunnyvale Sally Lieber and Palo Alto previously and is well known in those cities but not so much in South San Francisco or San Mateo, which is essentially Hills backyard. Chiang is a full-time school teacher and wants to make education the states top priority. He has never run for ofce before. Before redistricting, Chris Chiang Lieber had planned to run for the Senate seat when it was mostly comprised of Santa Clara County.
Assembly District 24
Two are in the race for this seat including state Assemblyman Rich Gordon and Menlo Park resident Chengzhi George Yang. Gordon currently holds the District 21 seat but is running for re-election for the District 24 seat since redistricting. His Republican opponent has never run for ofce before. Yang, 36, resides in Menlo Park and is a software engineer. From China, he moved to the Peninsula in 1992. sweet, chaste, sort-of rst love story. Arrietty sheds her inbred borrowers fear of humans, and Shawn proves a tender soul who understands the fragile existence of his small friend and her kind, doing what he can to help. The lmmakers inject a bit of tension and some laughs through busybody housekeeper Haru (voiced with joyful, gradually increasing lunacy by Burnett), who sets out to capture the borrowers for her own mad purposes. The women of Arrietty denitely get the good parts. Mendler plays the title role with vivacity and a spirit of wonder, while Poehler manages nice laughs with her squawky, frantic vocals. Henrie and Arnett, on the other hand, are vocal rocks, solid but impassive, inexpressive. Arnett applies the same deadpan voice he uses to great comic result in live-action roles, but the

Its delightful, the ways the borrowers make essential tools out of found objects we take for granted a leaf as an umbrella, nails to create stairs or staples to build ladders, strips of duct tape to help scale walls.

OBAMA
giving out free ice cream in her town something she said was on her bucket list. Also on her list was appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and shaking President Obamas hand. Shortly after a local newspaper quoted her saying that, Fisher got a call inviting her to meet the president Thursday. I didnt think it was real, she said. After meeting Obama, Fisher was beaming from ear to ear. I couldnt believe he knew my name, she said. That was exciting. The presidents rst stop was to be at a private reception at the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental Hotel on Nob Hill at 2 p.m. but, on his way, he stopped in Chinatown to order takeout dim sum in a surprise visit. Obama stopped by the Great Eastern Restaurant at 649 Jackson St. shortly after 1 p.m., a restaurant manager said. He ordered several dim sum dishes to go, and stayed in the restaurant for about 20 minutes greeting guests, manager Wing Lyn said. The presidents security force crowded into the dining room as Obama shook hands with the restaurants patrons and posed for pictures, Lyn said. Lyn said he was thrilled to serve the president. Its amazing, he said. After the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental Hotel fundraiser, Obama headed to a private fundraising dinner at a Pacic Heights home, and gave a speech at an 8 p.m. fundraiser at the Nob Hill Masonic Center featuring a performance by Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell. Several activist groups planned to protest Obamas visit. Obama spent the night in the city before departing for Washington state Friday morning. His visit to San Francisco follows fundraising stops in Los Angeles.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Obamas campaign pitch is aimed at the middle class. He sharpened his focus in a December speech in Osawatomie, Kan., where he decried a growing inequality between chief executives and their workers. He reprised the theme in his State of the Union address last month and unveiled a budget proposal this month that put a policy sheen on that populist message. As he pushes his economic agenda and as he raises money, Obama more and more is being forced to juxtapose working-class audiences and posh surroundings. In Los Angeles, 1,000 Obama supporters watched a performance of the Grammy-winning rock band Foo Fighters on the well-manicured grounds of the home of Brad Bell, a prominent television producer. Love the Foo Fighters, Obama told the crowd. They were tired of winning so many awards, so they said, Lets do something else tonight. Later, 80 people paying $35,800 apiece attended a dinner at Bells home, where guests drank wine from Kistler Vineyards and champagne by Frances Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin. Hollywood celebrities such as Clooney and actor Jim Belushi joined Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and others in a large dining room beneath a soaring chandelier. In Orange County, Obamas motorcade traveled along the Pacic Ocean to a beachside community in Corona del Mar, where the neighborhood was lined with Mercedes-Benz sedans, Toyota Prius hybrids and even a light-blue Nissan Leaf electric car. Speaking to guests beneath a white tent at the home of real estate districts functions and accountability. What exactly is the relationship we have with the mosquito district because it is its own animal. As a council, we appoint a representative but we dont really have any authority and it acts independently. It is an interesting way of operating government, Grocott said. Klein said San Carlos has a particular link to the situation because Betsey Schneider, the citys representative on the board, is the one who rst questioned missing money in the pesticide account. Klein is preparing a commendation for Schneider to acknowledge her courage in bringing the issue to light. Schneiders questions led to an outside audit that led to Seeney, 60, and Sinipata, 35, being charged with eight counts of embezzling public money. Prosecutors say Seeney, the district nance director, and Sinipata, her bookkeeper assistant and accounting supervisor, embezzled the funds between 2009 and 2011 by giving themselves extra pay at a higher pay rate and fraudulent time off, excessively contributed to their deferred compensation funds, used credit cards for personal purchases and electronically transferred money into their own accounts. The audit reported more than $635,000 was missing, much of it ber of cars from a busy road. Mayor Andy Klein agreed, noting trafc is one of the major issues the district and city have worked on together. The test program will start by reaching out to Tierra Linda parents, surveying them about who would be interested in such a service and when it would be used. Once under way, the district will be able to study the impact on trafc due to the bus. Then, the district can consider starting such a service using feedback gathered from parents. If successful, a bus program could start in the fall. Baker said the test run is the rst step of a larger hope to complete a trafc study of all the schools in the city. In addition to the bus service, the grants will also allow for upgrades like signs promoting safe driving, striping on the roads and architectural drawings to design the new pickup and dropoff areas, said Baker. Bus services have a long history in San Carlos. Klein recalled using SamTrans as a child to go to school and travel around the developer Jeff Stack, Obama thanked the family for opening its spectacular home. The fundraisers contrasted with a more modest ofcial stop in Milwaukee on Wednesday. Obama visited the Master Lock plant where unionized workers manufacture padlocks famous for being tough under re. In San Francisco, Obama made an unscheduled stop in the heart of the citys Chinatown neighborhood, shaking hands with diners and holding a crying baby. After posing for photos, the president pulled out some cash and paid for two bags of dim sum dumplings. Obama was scheduled to end his threeday trip Friday in Seattle, where he planned to address workers at Boeings Everett Production Facility. Republicans have repeatedly cited his high-wattage fundraisers to try to undercut Obamas image with working-class voters. President Obama campaigned on hope and change, but three years later hes just another typical politician, said Kirsten Kukowski, a Republican National Committee spokeswoman. Democratic strategist Chris Lehane said the public generally understands that presidential candidates need to raise money among the wealthy but that the key is to have a consistent message whether theyre talking to Hollywood moguls and tech titans or blue-collar workers. You certainly do not want to come off where you appear that youre elitist, Lehane said. He said Obamas message has remained consistent that Americans deserve a fair shake regardless of their economic background. in the last scal year. The district contacted the County Counsels Office which in turn handed the matter to the District Attorneys Ofce which charged them with stealing more than $450,000. The districts numbers might be closer to the actual loss but prosecutors are only alleging the amount they can prove, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said previously. After the alleged embezzlement came to light, Gay said the district implemented new policies, including background checks that might have turned up Seeneys previous criminal history. At the time of Seeneys employment, she had been prosecuted in two different embezzlement cases, including one in which she ran up more than a half-million dollars on her boss credit card. In March, she was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison on the two cases and ordered to pay restitution. Sinipata remains in custody on $150,000 bail while Seeney, who was returned from state prison for arraignment in the new case, is being held on $250,000 bail.

BALANCE
more than $220 million in 2011 even as it faces the prospect of hundreds of millions from GOP-backed outside groups targeting his re-election. To be sure, Obamas campaign has mastered the art of raising money among the masses. In 2011, the campaign said it received money from 1.3 million donors, including 583,000 people who gave during the nal three months of the year. More than 98 percent of supporters gave donations of $250 or less and the average donation was $55. Yet a list of prominent donors released by the campaign shows nearly 450 wellheeled backers who have collectively steered at least $74.7 million to the presidents campaign so far. Fully 62 of them collected at least $500,000 each to give to the campaign, including movie producers Jeffrey Katzenberg and Harvey Weinstein, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. California, where Obama scheduled six fundraisers during this three-day trip, gured most prominently on his roster of big-money bundlers. Sixteen are from California; 13 are from New York. Fundraising is an inescapable aspect of politics, and candidates from both parties tap deep-pocketed supporters for cash and for help raising more from their network of wealthy friends. Many of those donors are the same ones that Obama is referring to when he tells audiences whether well-off or working class that the rich must pay a greater share in taxes.

should have in hand a letter from San Carlos Mayor Andy Klein asking them to join his city in calling for a civil grand jury investigation into the alleged embezzlement, how much District Manager Robert Gay may have known about the situation and the districts finances overall. Klein is seeking strength in numbers, hoping that if other cities and the county line up with San Carlos they can all get some answers. The San Carlos City Council on Monday night unanimously approved Klein sending such a letter and Assistant City Manager Brian Moura estimates getting it ready to go by next week. The mayors and county supervisors will also receive copies of the letter Klein is sending to the civil grand jury and the district board. Councilman Matt Grocott had wanted stronger action, possibly as far as calling for Gays resignation, but said the council was advised to be cautious because it is a personnel matter. Grocott said he hopes the civil grand jury not only looks into the alleged embezzlement but the

Superintendent Craig Baker said the about $30,000 in grant funds provided from the San Mateo County Ofce of Education Safe Routes to Schools fund and support from City/County Association of Governments will allow the district to test the new transportation option without investing in a bus and driver. Board President Seth Rosenblatt said transportation has long been an issue. The district is also dealing with growing enrollment, but adding facilities, he said, will not solve the transportation issue. Using a bus will allow the district to possibly remove a num-
Peninsula as a youngster. San Carlos as a city previously tried to offer a free shuttle service called SCOOT San Carlos Optimal Operational Transit. SCOOT provided door-to-door service. A user called a city number, requested a ride and got one without a set schedule or bus stop. In 2002, the $1 million dollar pilot program was funded from a transportation sales tax, gas tax and money typically used for street repair. At its peak, ridership on the 20person shuttles included 19,387 trips. Primary users include school children and the elderly although more than 500 commuters also benet by taking routes to the Caltrain station. In 2005, the council sought a $59 parcel tax in hopes of funding the service. Without the funding, SCOOT ceased service June 17, 2005.
