Cat burglar goes viral

San Mateo thief, Dusty the cat, courted by Letterman, others
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A video detailing the criminal activity of a local feline has gone viral after it aired earlier this week and the cats owners have elded calls from David Letterman, The Early Show and Fox and Friends all wanting a piece of Dusty, the Snowshoe cat now called Klepto by many of its victims in the Beresford Manor neighborhood of San Mateo. Dusty, about 6 years old, has
stolen more than 600 items from neighbors over the past few years and was recently captured on night vision video by Animal Planet in the act of dragging stolen items back to its home on 25th Avenue, where it lives with its owners Jean Chu, Jim Coleman and family. Dusty was featured briey on the Animal Planet show Must Love Cats for its late-night escapades after a neighbor told the family he thought Dusty was responsible for a long list of missing items from area
yards, including womens bathing suits. On several mornings, Jim Coleman would nd items in his yard such as towels or shoes that would leave him puzzled. Why are people throwing junk in my yard, Coleman would ask himself. Then the night vision video proved Dusty was the culprit. Monday night, ABC-7s Vic Lee produced a story about Dusty that has since gone viral on the Internet.
Last I looked it had 150,000 hits, Coleman said. The family has been ooded with calls now from all kinds of television shows the past two days wanting to hear Dustys story, including David Letterman. Chu, a South San Francisco dentist, has several shopping bags lled with items Dusty has stolen that sit in her car. My car looks like a homeless

Nine teachers in the Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary School District could soon be receiving a preliminary pink slip the rst legal step to a possible layoff. California requires districts to send out preliminary notices to teachers by March 15. That number will be rened before nal layoff notices are sent out by May 15. Teachers will
know their fate a bit later this year as school funding is contingent on a proposal from Gov. Jerry Brown tied to a June election. If the tax continuation is approved by voters in June, school districts will have more money. Without it, they are facing major losses which could require employee terminations.

THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME
by Mike Argirion and Jeff Knurek
In 1809, the Ohio legislature voted to establish Miami University in present-day Oxford. (The school opened in 1824.) In 1864, during the Civil War, the Union ship USS Housatonic was rammed and sunk in Charleston Harbor, S.C., by the Confederate hand-cranked submarine HL Hunley, which also sank. In 1865, Columbia, S.C., burned as the Confederates evacuated and Union forces moved in. (Its not clear which side set the blaze.) In 1897, the forerunner of the National PTA, the National Congress of Mothers, convened its first meeting, in Washington. In 1904, the original two-act version of Giacomo Puccinis opera Madama Buttery was poorly received at its premiere at La Scala in Milan, Italy. In 1947, the Voice of America began broadcasting to the Soviet Union. In 1959, the United States launched Vanguard 2, a satellite which carried meteorological equipment on board. In 1964, the Supreme Court, in Wesberry v. Sanders, ruled that congressional districts within each state had to be roughly equal in population. In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon departed on his historic trip to China. In 1986, Johnson & Johnson announced it would no longer sell over-the-counter medications in capsule form, following the death of a woman who had taken a cyanide-laced Tylenol capsule.

Law to protect German kids' right to noise
BERLIN Children of Germany take heart it may soon be perfectly legal to make noise. Germany is so desperate to encourage people to have more children that the government is proposing a bill allowing citizens under six to laugh, shout and play at any volume. Germany is a land of many rules, especially about noise. The government's move comes after a series of lawsuits about children and noise, and a recent call from a senior citizens' chapter of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives, who sought to ban kindergartens from residential areas because they are too loud. The government said Wednesday the proposed law would exempt children from strict regulations on noise limits, which force construction sites to stand idle for hours at midday and prohibit mowing lawns on Sunday.

Someone swipes giant cactus statue from library

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Police in Albuquerque, N.M., are investigating a thorny theft case of gigantic proportions. KOB-TV reports someone stole a giant berglass cactus Monday night from behind a public library. High school students spent an entire summer building the $50,000 art piece shaped like a prickly pear cactus. They were part of a nonprot group that provides art education for at-risk kids. City officials say thieves probably unbolted the bright green cactus from the ground and used a pickup truck or van to cart it off. The city says the statue doesn't weigh much so it was likely easy to carry off into the night. A nearby resident, Paul Freshour, says the statue is probably pretty tough to hide, so he's hopeful that ofcials will recover it.

Teen pleads not guilty in fatal crash

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Police reports
The fast and the foolish
A driver who spun doughnuts in the street, hit a parked vehicle and ed without leaving a note at the intersection of Crestview and Club drives in San Carlos before 3:51 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 5.
The allegedly intoxicated South San Francisco teen whose 17-year-old passenger died after his car crossed trafc and set off a multi-car crash near Brisbane Feb. 5 pleaded not guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter and drunk driving charges. Sean Danniel Quintero, 18, was not expected to enter a plea until Friday but came into court early to replace his court-appointed attorney with a private lawyer. At the same time, Quintero pleaded not guilty to all charges and set a March 24 preliminary hearing date. That hearing is estimated to last two hours. Meanwhile, Quintero remains in custody without bail after a judge denied a defense
request to release him on his own recognizance. Quintero is charged in the death of Margaret Qaqish, a high school senior who would have turned 18 the following week. He faces up to 11 years in prison if convicted. On Feb. 5, Qaqish was Sean Quintero in a car belonging to Quinteros mother, sitting in the middle of the rear seat, as they and two other teens drove back to South San Francisco after a night of reported heavy drinking in Daly City and San Francisco. At approximately 3:30 a.m., as the group loudly discussed what radio station should play, Quintero drove at roughly 60 mph toward cars stopped for an unrelated
accident. Unable to stop in time, Quintero reportedly veered to the right, crossing over two lanes of trafc and rear-ended a car that hit into a third before stopping. No one was injured in those two vehicles but inside Quinteros car two of the passengers had minor injuries like bruising and chest pain. Qaqish was thrown forward by the impact and knocked unconscious. Authorities have not said whether she was wearing a seat belt. She died at the hospital. The California Highway Patrol reported nding an open alcohol container in the car and Quinteros blood alcohol level 90 minutes later tested .15 and .16.

New drug charge for man convicted in pedestrian death

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A former convict who was found not to be under the influence of drugs when he fatally hit a pedestrian leaving the county hospital two years ago was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of methamphetamine possession after a Pacifica police officer found him walking on Highway 1 in the wee hours. Louis James Henry, 60, told the officer who spotted him at approximately 1 a.m. Valentines Day that he had taken a bus to visit a friend but had gotten lost. The ofcer searched Henry, who is on probation for an earlier drug conviction but not the misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in the death of pedestrian Gary Roubos, and reported nding a twist of methamphetamine in his wallet. Henry already has two strikes on his criminal record from several robbery convictions in the 1970s and could receive a third if con-
victed of drug possession. He escaped a potential third strike once when prosecutors first opted not to seek that route in Roubos death. Henry stood trial for the Jan. 7, 2009 death of Roubos, 52, who was just Louis Henry leaving the San Mateo Medical Center when he was hit at 39th Avenue and Edison Street. After he died two days later, prosecutors began investigating if Henry could be held liable for causing the death through reckless driving or deliberately acting in a way, such as methamphetamine use or not wearing glasses, which impaired his ability to drive. During trial, the defense presented experts who said Henry was not under the influence. The jury acquitted Henry, 50, of gross vehicular manslaughter while under the
influence of drugs, felony driving while intoxicated and being under the influence. Instead, it convicted him of the lesser misdemeanor and he received credit for time served in jail. Henry pleaded not guilty in the new case and asked for a court-appointed attorney. He returns to court Feb. 28 for a preliminary hearing and remains in custody in lieu of $10,000 bail.

Dems pledge to streamline state regulations

SACRAMENTO Taking a page from the Republican playbook, Democratic lawmakers promised Wednesday to streamline state regulations to boost business in California, a move that is in part is intended to attract Republican support for extending tax increases. They hope the legislative effort will lead to job creation and eventually higher tax revenue for the cash-strapped state, which faces a $26.6 billion budget decit. Speaking during a capital news conference, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said California should eliminate redundant, inconsistent or outdated regulations. A bill introduced this week, SB366, would require state agencies to review regulations within six months and create a faster permitting process for businesses looking to start or expand operations. We are not going to cede this ground to anyone, Steinberg, of Sacramento, said. We are serious and committed to making government more nimble. The move comes as Democrats try to show that the majority party cares about the states Jerry Brown business climate as it tries to persuade Republican lawmakers to approve a special election in June that would ask voters to extend income, sales and vehicle taxes for ve years. The tax increases were approved in 2009 and are due to expire this year. I think its a step in the right direction as negotiations continue, said Matthew Mahood, president and CEO of the Sacramento Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce. If Democrats can deliver more reforms, Mahood said the chamber will support Democratic Gov. Jerry Browns call for the special election. Brown has called for a balanced approaching to closing the budget shortfall that also includes about $12.5 billion in spending cuts and borrowing. Mahood would not say what else would be needed to gain the chambers support, but he criticized a separate Brown proposal to eliminate redevelopment agencies and enterprise zones. He said those are tools California communities need to compete with other states. Republicans, who regularly accuse Democrats of making Californias business environment more hostile to companies, reacted cautiously to the Democratic legislation. California Republican Party spokesman Mark Standriff said in a statement that Democrats sponsoring regulatory reform has all the credibility of a Charlie Sheen Just Say No campaign, a reference to the actors battle with alcoholism. Its their attempt at revisionist history.
Two-hour parking coming to downtown San Bruno

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Those wanting to enjoy dinner or watch their little one in a music or swimming class in San Bruno dont necessarily want to be rushed. Likewise, business owners want customers to linger in the coffee shop, look at products other than the ones on the to-do list and consider spending the extra $5 or more during the downtown visit. Thats difcult to do when theres a countdown to getting a parking ticket. Downtown San Bruno, along San Mateo
Avenue, currently has a one-hour parking limit. Business owners would like to see that doubled. A proposal was recently heard by the Trafc Safety and Parking Committee who will be recommending the change to the City Council at a future meeting, said Community Development Director Aaron Aknin. Laura Baughman, San Bruno Chamber of Commerce executive director, said the idea came up a while back from the businesses. Going to a restaurant, for example, can take longer than an hour especially if there is a wait involved. Ladies getting their hair done, like getting it dyed, can take longer than an hour.
And parents with children enrolled in karate or music classes could need just a little more than an hour when time to gather ones things is taken into consideration, said Baughman. The chamber drafted a letter to the city requesting the change from one-hour to twohour. Changing wont cost much, but 30 to 35 signs in the downtown area will need to be changed, according to city ofcials.

Fla.scraps high-speed rail plan

By Brendan Farrington
Local briefs
Film about big wave spot Mavericks gets go-ahead
HALF MOON BAY The infamous Northern California big wave break called Mavericks is set to star in a feature film about the late Santa Cruz surfer Jay Moriarty. Producer-screenwriter Brandon Hooper told the Santa Cruz Sentinel that the film titled Mavericks will begin shooting in October. The 22-year-old Moriarty, known for his positive attitude on land and fearlessness in the water, died in 2001 during a free diving accident in the Maldives. The Mavericks big wave contest was renamed in his honor this year. Curtis Hanson, whose films include 8 Mile and L.A. Confidential, has agreed to direct the film. It will be shot on location at Mavericks and Santa Cruz. Gerard Butler, the star of 300, will play Moriartys mentor Frosty Henson. The lead role has not yet been cast.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Florida Gov. Rick Scott canceled plans for a high-speed train line between Orlando and Tampa promoted by President Barack Obama, saying Wednesday it would cost the state too much even with $2.4 billion in federal help. Cost overruns could put Florida on the hook for another $3 billion and once completed, theres a good chance ridership wont pay for the operating cost, meaning the state would have to pump more money into the line each year, Scott said. The truth is that this project would be far too costly to taxpayers and I believe the risk far outweighs the benefits, the Republican governor said in a press release issued after he informed U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood of his decision. LaHood later released a statement contradicting Scotts assessment of the risk. We worked with the governor to make sure we eliminated all financial risk for the state, instead requiring private businesses competing for the project to assume cost

overruns and operating expenses, he said. The move comes a week after Scott, a former CEO who took office in January, proposed state spending cuts of $4.6 billion in the next budget and tax and fee cuts totaling close to $2 billion as Florida grapples with the effects of the recession and continued high unemployment. Scott said if the rail project failed, the state would have to return the money to the federal government. My background is in business, not politics. But you dont have to be an economics expert to understand that if you spend more money than you take in, your business will fail, Scott said. But a senior official for the federal Department of Transportation said Scott never raised that concern during discus-
sions and the department never intended to put the state on the hook for the cost for years to come. It was an issue that could have been negotiated, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because LaHood is still talking with lawmakers about how to respond to Scotts decision. LaHood said he was disappointed, but said other states would be happy to get Floridas money. This project could have supported thousands of good-paying jobs for Floridians and helped grow Florida businesses, all while alleviating congestion on Floridas highways, LaHood said. Nevertheless, there is overwhelming demand for high speed rail in other states that are enthusiastic to receive Floridas funding and the economic benefits it can deliver.
Survey for Redwood City schools

Have an opinion on how the Redwood City School District communicates with the public? The Redwood City School District is participating in a survey at no cost to the school district. Some 100 school districts throughout the United States have agreed to participate in the survey as part of a national study to make communication more effective at the classroom, school building and district levels. The research is part of a communication accountability program of the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA). NSPRA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving all facets of communication in school communities. The survey firm, K12 Insight, Inc., is donating its services for this project to NSPRA. All residents who live within the boundary of the Redwood City Elementary School District are invited to participate. Residents do not need to have a child enrolled in the district to participate.

Narcotics task force uncovers Bay Area marijuana ring

By Chris Cooney
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
An undercover sting on Tuesday by the San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force netted numerous arrests and drug seizures at homes and marijuana grow houses set up in San Francisco, San Mateo and Alameda counties. The task force operation - nicknamed Operation Green Hornet - included ofcers from 11 Bay Area police agencies and targeted a marijuana trafcking ring with grow sites in Millbrae, Pacica, Daly City, San Francisco and Hayward, according to San Mateo County Sheriff Cmdr. Marc Alcantara.
Alcantara said agents seized more than 2,200 marijuana plants in various stages of growth, four rearms, more than $100,000 in suspected drug prots, six vehicles, and 22 pounds of harvested marijuana with an estimated street value of nearly $900,000. There was no evidence that any of the marijuana was headed for legal dispensaries, Alcantara said. This was clearly a for-prot operation, he said. Ten people were arrested and remained in custody in San Mateo County jail on $1 million bail. They are Millbrae residents Queenie Qi, 38, Bill Dao Bian Qi, 33 and Wilson Cheung, 50;
San Francisco residents Winnie Phan, 47, Wendy Lau, 49, Qian Li, 47, Weiren Hu, 49, Jia Hu, 20, and Weix Liane, 48; and Alameda resident Zhi Wei Chen, 42. All were charged with cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale, criminal conspiracy and theft of utilities. The 10 suspects are scheduled to be arraigned in superior court in South San Francisco at 1:30 p.m. Thursday. The state Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement, the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement assisted in the operation.
Court to answer question on gay marriage ban

Lisa Leff
SAN FRANCISCO Californias highest court decided Wednesday to wade back into the legal morass surrounding the states voterapproved gay marriage ban, agreeing to rule on a question of state law considered crucial to the survival of Proposition 8. The California Supreme Court accepted without comment a formal inquiry from a fed-
eral appeals court thats mulling the constitutionality of the 2008 ban that was struck down in August as a violation of gay Californians civil rights. The three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said last month it cant reach a decision until it knows if ballot proposition sponsors have legal standing to step in when the attorney general and governor refuse to defend voter-approved initiatives in court. The question is pivotal to the future of
Proposition 8 because former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gov. Jerry Brown in his previous role as attorney general both declined to appeal the decision to overturn Proposition 8. The measures sponsors, a coalition of religious and conservative groups called Protect Marriage, are trying to ll that void. But the 9th Circuit said it is unclear if the coalition has authority to do so under either federal or state law.

Valley Transportation Authority joins Clipper card
SAN JOSE A card that allows riders to board multiple transit systems around the San Francisco Bay can now be used on the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authoritys bus and light-rail trains. The VTA began selling so-called Clipper cards Wednesday, becoming the last public transit system in the Bay area to join the card program. The blue and white cards have been in use on other systems, including Caltrain, Bay Area Rapid Transit and Alameda County Transit. They allow riders who have set up a prepaid account to use the cards on any of the transit systems without having to buy multiple tickets.
DA sued over dismissed molestation case

argues one girl would testify despite McKowan saying her mother would not allow it and that McKowan never informed them of the cases dismissal. The suit, filed on behalf of the girls by their mother, names McKowan, former district attorney Jim Fox and the office as a whole. The girls seek damages for negligence, professional malpractice. The suit follows on the heels of a July 8, 2010 claim with the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors for $1 million which was denied. The plaintiffs attorney, Nina Salarno Ashford, could not be reached for comment. District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said the office had not yet been served. But based on the allegations which were rejected by Judge [Lisa] Novak in criminal court, we believe this suit should be dismissed, Wagstaffe said. In October, Novak ruled that McKowan did not violate the alleged victims rights and that the local court had no ability to order the charges reinstated. The judge never got to the merit of the fraud claims, instead denying the petition because Marsys Law does not apply to dismissed cases or give victims the right to reinstate a case. A judge also cannot order prosecutors to file charges. After that decision, McKowan said she believed Sadeks former wife was simply angry with the cases outcome. The lawsuit is just the latest twist in the case of Sadek, who has since died. After the Sadeks began divorcing, one of their children claimed sexual abuse by her father and charges were filed that November, according to the lawsuit. Charges pertaining to one girl were dropped after a preliminary hearing but counts connected to the other girl and the alleged poisoning of the mother stood. In February 2010, the case was dismissed just days before trial after McKowan discovered a previously undisclosed test of his wifes hair that tested negative for GHB. The finding flew in the face of positive tests by a Houston-based forensic toxicologist that prosecutors had planned to submit as evidence. When McKowan asked that doctor for further documentation, he couldnt provide it. The discrepancy of the tests, both solicited by the civil attorney handling the divorce for Sadeks wife, led to the cases dismissal. McKowan never gave the alleged victims access to the drug report or told them they could speak at the dismissal hearing, the suit alleges. The suit also claims McKowan did not contact key witnesses including the drug issue expert and told the mother to pay for a child sexual assault expert. Had McKowan and her office acted properly, the suit argues, a real trial of the matter would have gone forward and the rights of plaintiffs would have been protected.
San Jose airline agent accused in credit card scam

SAN JOSE An airline employee at Mineta San Jose International Airport faces as much as 48 years in prison for a credit card scheme that netted more than $480,000. Santa Clara County prosecutors say for at least three years Micheline Johnson skimmed credit card information from hundreds of customers as a part-time ticket agent for American Airlines. Authorities say the 49-year-old Concord woman used the information to buy $100 gift cards from grocery stores and used those cards to buy expensive gadgets that she sold online.
The San Mateo County District Attorneys Office and one of its prosecutors is being sued for negligence and fraud on behalf of two young girls whose fathers molestation case was dismissed after a key piece of alleged evidence turned out to be false. Prosecutor Melissa McKowan violated the rights of the girls violated the victims bill of rights known as Marsys Law and lied about why she was dropping the case against Anthony John Sadek in February 2010, according to the lawsuit fled Feb. 9 in San Mateo County Superior Court. Prosecutors dropped the Sadek case after learning the former wife who claimed he molested their daughter may have falsified drug tests that led to his arrest. The woman claimed Sadek drugged her in 2006 with GHB, or gammahydroxybutrate, so he could gain access to their child. Once the poisoning charges were dismissed, prosecutors said the molestation case involving the child was too weak to stand. McKowan also said the girls mother wouldnt allow them to testify. The mother, her attorneys and victims rights groups involved after the dismissal have argued that the poisoning allegation was separate from the molestation charges and one did not have to affect the other. The suit also

Battles continue on House GOP spending bill

Obama budget reduces border agents overtime pay
WASHINGTON Determined to reduce deficits, impatient House Republican freshmen made common cause with President Barack Obama on Wednesday, scoring their biggest victory to date in a vote to cancel $450 million for an alternative engine for the Pentagons next-generation warplane. Right here, right now was a surefire way to reduce spending, declared Rep. Tom Rooney of Florida, a second-term lawmaker whose summons to cut money from the F-35 ghter jet was answered by 47 Republican newcomers. Speaker John Boehner and other House GOP leaders back the funding. The incursion into the defense budget occurred as the Republicancontrolled House debated legislation to cut federal spending by more than $61 billion through the end of the current scal year. Nearly all of the reductions are aimed at domestic programs, ranging from education aid to nutrition, environmental protection and farm programs. Obama has threatened a veto if the measure reaches his desk, but he and the GOP newcomers were on the same side when it came to the engine for the F-35, the costliest weapons program in U.S. history. The House vote was 238-198. Two successive presidents as well as the Pentagon brass have tried to scrap funding for the alternative engine, arguing it is a waste of money. In a measure of his opposition, Defense Secretary Robert Gates told a House committee earlier in the

The dozens of ofcials, samesex marriage advocates and supporters who came together to rally, though, hoped 2006 might be the last year San Mateo County has to say no to any couple wanting to wed. Unlike years past, when San Carlos couple Ramona and Arzu Gatto were the ones asking for a marriage license and county ofcials could only refuse, the two sides came together with the womens teen daughter and other families to call for equality.

One man crime spree

A carjacking in Belmont, an armed bank robbery in downtown San Mateo, a gun store shooting in San Bruno and a bank robbery in Menlo Park left four different police departments looking for a man tting a similar description the week of Feb. 18, 2006. Belmont police responded to the 300 block of Oxford Way on reports of a carjacking. The carjacker approached a Redwood City woman with a handgun and stole a blue 1997 Mercury Sable station wagon. He headed toward Hiller Avenue, according to police. Initial police reports indicate the man was wearing sunglasses and a blue bandanna around his face. He was described as tall, white, in his 20s, with short brown hair, light blue wire-framed sunglasses and wearing a blue shirt, black windbreaker and a blue bandanna.
South City wants its cut of fuel tax

South San Francisco begrudgingly decided to move forward in negotiations the week of Feb. 18, 2006 with Northwest Airlines to bring $132,000 in jet fuel tax to the city, which would in turn would take nearly $500,000 from the county. The agreement in question would link the city into an agreement with Northwest Airlines who will buy jet fuel from a tank location in South City. Currently that jet tax, $240,000 annually, goes to the county. If an agreement was made, the money would have gone to the city instead with the airline getting a large chunk returned as an incentive to keep doing business in South City. However, not everyone was willing to ruin the citys relationship with the county for a small gain that will mainly benet a corporation.
New hope for saving South County fire

At the fourth re department-related meeting in a week, councilmembers from San Carlos and Belmont agreed on a funding formula and assessment tax on which both cities could agree. The decision came only 106 days before the troubled partnership between the two cities was set to expire.

State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo, introduced legislation that would allow citizens to register to vote via their countys election ofce website. Several other states already offer online registration, yet California has lagged behind awaiting implementation of the statewide online database system known as VoteCal, which has been delayed until at least 2015, according to Yees ofce. Under SB 397, citizens would input their voter information online and the county elections ofce would use the voters signa-
ture from the Department of Motor Vehicles to verify authenticity. That signature would have to match the voters signature at the polling place. Currently, signatures at the polling place only need to match the paper registration signature, which potentially allows for greater occurrences of fraud, according to Yees ofce.

Pension madness
The (Riverside) Press-Enterprise
Other voices
a massive decit by cutting health care services, higher education and other programs while seeking ve more years of higher taxes. The state has a roughly $20 billion yearly gap between revenue and spending in its general fund. Yet public retiree expenses have been expanding rapidly since the Legislature juiced pension benets in 1999. The states general fund cost for its various public retirement programs is well over $5 billion this scal year, and will climb to nearly $6 billion in 2011-12 compared to about $1 billion a decade ago. The analyst offers sensible recommendations for changing that trend. The Legislature should raise retirement ages and cap the amount of pensions retirees can accumulate. Some workers can retire at 50 with up to 90 percent of their salary as a pension, every year for life. And the state should crack down on salary manipulations that let workers arti-
alifornias lavish public-sector retirement benets are neither scally or politically tenable. The Legislature instead needs to create a less expensive, more sustainable public retirement system. The state legislative analysts ofce last week offered a series of sound suggestions for curbing the accelerating costs of public pensions. Californias public retirement benets are more lucrative than what other states offer and far more generous than anything private-sector workers can expect a disparity that invites trouble for the state, the report said. The current system also virtually guarantees rising costs for the foreseeable future, the analyst found. That grim assessment should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the issue in California. By next scal year, public retirement contributions will account for about 7 percent of the states general fund budget at a time when the state is proposing to close
cially inate their pension payouts. The analyst also said that employee contributions should rise when funding gaps appear, as governments yearly contributions do. Currently, workers share is xed, while the state has to make up any long-term funding shortfall. But there is no reason taxpayers should bear all the nancial risk for public retirement plans. Giving employees a personal stake in avoiding pension funding gaps would make workers and labor-dominated retirement boards less likely to push for excessive benets. And the analyst suggests that the state could create a hybrid plan, which would provide a smaller guaranteed pension along with 401(k)-style personal retirement fund. Such a step would lower long-term taxpayer costs, while still giving public workers better benets than the private sector which has all but eliminated guaranteed pension payouts. Pension reforms alone will not x the states red-ink nances, of course. But inaction is not an answer either: Ignoring out-ofcontrol retirement costs only makes the states scal challenges more intractable.
Beyond Borders
a ha, Borders. You got yours! After years of slashing and burning through mom-and-pop stores with your chain store army of squishy chairs, handy lattes and artfully arranged pyramids of bestsellers, you are nally getting a taste of your own medicine. How does it feel to the one on the chopping block, the one eliciting the tongue-clucking and head shaking, the comments that it is all just too bad? Didnt jump on the e-reader bandwagon in time? Feel like its unfair Barnes and Noble is enlarging its cult of followers with Nook and its offspring? Too bad for you! Hired too many CEOS without any book experience, assuming all sales are the same whether it be romance novels and humor guides or tires and produce? Thats gotta hurt. Wonder why more folks visited the gutted Borders location across from AT&T Park in San Francisco when it became a Dugout Store annex than when it peddled books, calendars, compact discs and DVDs? By the way, that should have been the rst sign you were living the past those music and movies. Who the heck buys those things anymore when you can just order them up on Netix, pick em up at Redbox or download it all illegally (or not) from the Internet? You were selling outdated goods in an updated time, which is probably why your lack of a specic e-reader shouldnt be much of a surprise. For that matter, the Chapter 11 ling that has the world all atwitter shouldnt be a surprise either. Payback is a well, just say march yourself over to the reference aisle and check out the book of slightly coarse idioms. Point is, you gotta stay with the times. Isnt that what everybody chalked up as the heartless credo promoted by you and Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com as independent stores closed and loyal customers let go the idea of employees armed with solid recommendations and hidden literary gems? Now, its you being told that all is fair in love, war and bookselling. There is no such thing as loyalty when books can be had for half off at Costco and even Starbucks carries rows of musical options. If the words on the pages are the same even if those pages are digital nobody seems to care much anymore where those books were purchased. So, Borders, if the consensus is that you are getting nothing more than a strong dose of your own medicine, why is news of your impending death a little sad? Why does it feel like weve put one more nail in the cofn in the literary experience you know, when readers actually go inside a store, running their ngers along the spine of novels and testing out the rst few paragraphs before committing to a purchase? Why doesnt getting a box of predetermined books in the mail feel quite the same as walking in the door with an open mind and walking back out with anticipation to begin devouring the volumes in hand? So, good-bye Borders, or at least the several outlets to which I ever visited. You were a nice alternative when necessary. But now that you are joining the several mom-and-pops in the literary graveyard, I think its time to go back to a timeless place where books are king, corporate desires fall to the wayside and I dont have to feel guilty about choosing between selection and allegiance. Im going to the library.

Development plans in need of adjustment
Editor, I am supportive of Redwood City residents who value the Bayshore/wetlands that Save the Bay and other environmental groups are trying to rescue from development by Cargill/DMB. Residents and city ofcials who favor development may not be aware that these wetlands are a treasure for Redwood City citizens as well as the many species of birds which rely on them for nesting and feeding. Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Mountain View have gorgeous protected wetlands that are visited by their residents for pleasure, nature observation, education, exercise, picnics, contemplation, etc. I have heard many people exclaim how lucky they feel to live in Palo Alto where a short bike ride or walk and car gets them to an area of sublime beauty and relative quiet, where nature thrives and vistas of distance hills, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets are watched in awe. Large groups of people visit the Bayshore of cities south of Redwood City for various reasons. I walk and bike our baylands several times a week. In addition to the hikers, bikers, runners and strolling families, I often encounter a science class from pre-school to college examining the biosystems, a group of 50 or more senior citizens walking a mile or more, walkers and canes in hand, enjoying and sharing the natural beauty and friendship. If Redwood Citys salt ponds were restored, in fact, it would be a reason for residents of neighboring cities to come enjoy its Baylands and all the great things Redwood City has to offer. Should development occur, folks in Redwood City eventually will regret not having fought to save this area for posterity. Contact your City Council and ask for restoration.
Thrive gives thanks

Editor, Thank you for your column, Doing the Right Thing, by Jon Mays in the Feb. 4 edition of the Daily Journal. Nonprofit organizations provide a multitude of services to those in need including food, shelter, mental health services and also help celebrate the arts, theater and all the other intangibles that help our communities thrive. In these tough economic times, nonprofit organizations have had to show their resourcefulness and resilience by stretching their limited funds to help even more in need. I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge Thrive members San Mateo County Supervisor Carole Groom, San Mateo Councilman David Lim, state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, and former assemblyman Ira Ruskin for their steady support of Thrive, The Alliance of Nonprofits for San Mateo County, which helps serve as a voice for hundreds of nonprofits in our county. They have demonstrated the importance of the public and nonprofit sectors partnering to ensure that our communities needs are acknowledged and met. I hope our new incoming county and state policymakers will continue this tradition of collaboration.

Citizens going to City Hall

Editor, The honorable Robert Ross, our newly elected councilman, in his run for ofce stated that he would bring San Mateo citizens to City Hall with him. He has on numerous occasions suggested that, three or four times a year, council meetings could be held in the early afternoon or on a Saturday, but no action has been taken. As it stands now, meetings start at 7 p.m. and go on until late at night, and when very important issues come before the council, there is no one there except on special occasions when somebody is receiving an award. Why cant the citizens be part of the ongoing discussions on important subjects like salaries, pensions, planning, trafc and police and re contracts? Why not? Were paying the bills, arent we? I believe that attending such meetings would allow citizens to better understand the problems we face. Is it such a bad idea to meet at reasonable hours? Many more citizens could be there and be part of the process and really get to know the council and staff. Give it some thought. If we get together, things get done and feedback would be heard to help create a better government.

McAfee, Intel subsidiary forge security agreement
SAN FRANCISCO Computer security software maker McAfee Inc. said Wednesday it is working with an Intel Corp. subsidiary to make security solutions for other kinds of devices. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Wind River makes software for mobile devices and for a slew of gadgets not usually thought of as computers in the automotive, medical, defense and other elds. McAfee said it will work with Wind River on purpose-built security solutions for those so-called embedded devices or networks of devices, which are increasingly connected to each other or to the Internet. Traditional security solutions dont work with such devices, McAfee said, because they have limited power, memory and performance, unlike PCs and servers. McAfee said it will start rolling out the new security products this year. Wind River will also build McAfee security into future products. The announcement was made at the RSA Conference on security in San Francisco. Shares of McAfee edged up 2 cents to $47.91 in afternoon trading.
NEW YORK Bookseller Borders, which helped pioneer superstores that put countless mom-and-pop bookshops out of business, led for bankruptcy protection Wednesday, sunk by crushing debt and sluggishness in adapting to a rapidly changing industry. The 40-year-old company plans to close about 200 of its 642 stores over the next few weeks. All of the stores closed will be superstores, Borders spokeswoman Mary Davis said. The company also operates smaller Waldenbooks and Borders Express stores. Clearance sales could begin as early as this weekend, according to documents led with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York. Borders said it is losing about $2 million a day at the stores it plans to close. Cautious consumer spending, negotiations with vendors and a lack of liquidity made it clear Borders does not have the capital resources it needs to be a viable competitor, Borders Group Inc. President Mike Edwards said in a written statement. Borders plans to operate normally and honor gift cards and its loyalty program as it reorganizes. The company will receive $505 million in debtor-in-possession nancing from GE Capital and others to help it reorganize.

Rising wholesale prices spur inflation concerns

Googles travel deal faces regulatory turbulence

SAN FRANCISCO Google wants to become the hub of online travel, promising better bargains and more convenience by melding the Internet search leaders wizardry with the Webs top airline-fare tracker, ITA Software. That has existing online travel sites such as Kayak, Expedia and Travelocity worried that they wont stand a chance of competing, a scenario that could lead to higher fares. The U.S. Justice Department is expected to decide soon on whether to let Google Inc. buy ITA for $700 million. The deal would give Google control over software that has helped power the reservation systems of most major U.S. airlines and a eet of online fare-comparison services for the past decade.
WASHINGTON Steady improvement in the economy may soon come at a price faster inflation. Shoes, clothes, tires, plastics and other products all cost more at the wholesale level last month, putting pressure on businesses to pass the increases along to their customers. The hikes also give ammunition to critics who fear that the Federal Reserves bold steps to strengthen the economy have started to feed inflation and need to be reined in. Those critics include some Fed officials.
A widely watched measure of wholesale inflation, the core Producer Price Index, rose 0.5 percent last month, the largest monthly increase since October 2008. The entire index, which includes volatile gas and food prices, rose 0.8 percent. Drug prices rose 1.4 percent, the most in almost three years. Prices rose for products throughout the economy. Abercrombie & Fitch Co., which sells clothes primarily marketed to teenagers, said it expects to raise prices later this year because of soaring costs for raw materials, particularly cotton. Those costs are the biggest headwind we face, CEO Mike Jeffries told
investors Wednesday. Were comfortable that we can pass some of these increases on to the customer. Were not comfortable with how much. The maker of Hanes underwear and T-shirts raised prices in February and may do it again this summer. And food companies like Kraft Foods and McDonalds have said in recent weeks that they will raise prices this year, too. Stores are reluctant to pass along the higher costs at a time when their customers are already dealing with high unemployment and paychecks that arent getting much bigger. So far, inflation at the retail level remains tame.

Title drought ended

After more than 20 years,Half Moon Bay wins division title
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Afeaki responds C
The Half Moon Bay public address announcer said the boys soccer team had not won a league championship since 1983. Cougars coach Victor Mederos said it was last accomplished during the 1986-87 season. Sufce to say, its been a while. That drought came to an end Wednesday evening as the Cougars downed Hillsdale 2-0 in a winner-take-all nale to decide the Ocean Division champion. In Bay Division action, Burlingame beat Terra Nova 4-1 and Menlo-Atherton shutout Westmoor 5-0 to nish the season as co-champions of the division. The Knights came into the game one point behind Half Moon Bay, but the Cougars proved they were the class of the league. Its an amazing turnaround for the Cougars. Mederos, in just his second year with the team, turned a program in disarray into a division champion. Having spent the last 10 years coaching the Cunha Middle School team to six league titles, Mederos knew he had the talent to win a championship at the high school level. I coached two-thirds of these kids in eighth grade, said Mederos, adding that team went undefeated. I knew we had the capabilities (to be successful this season). A longtime coach who has experienced plenty of success, Mederos was still nervous the night before Wednesdays showdown. I couldnt sleep [Tuesday] night, Mederos said. Wondering what nd of focus wed have. Turns out Mederos could have slept easy. After weathering early offensive pressure from Hillsdale, the Cougars methodically controlled
NATHAN MOLLAT / DAILY JOURNAL
apuchino center Daniel Afeaki had the performance of the night in the rst round of the Peninsula Athletic League tournament Tuesday when he ripped down 22 rebounds and scored 19 points in the Mustangs 59-46 win over Hillsdale. There was a moment early in the game, however, that really lit a re under Afeaki. He chased down a rst-quarter rebound only to have Hillsdales 5-foot-9 guard Scott Cecil sneak in and wrestle the ball away from the 6-foot-7 Afeaki. It was at least the second time the Capuchino big man lost a rebound he got his hands on. F o l l o w i n g Hillsdales ensuing bucket, Capuchino coach Doug Fountain called a 30-second timeout during which starters are not supposed to sit on the bench (I dont make the rules, I just explain them). As the team huddled around Fountain, he ripped into Afeaki, telling him to be strong with the ball, driving the point three times for emphasis. Afeaki simply walked out of the loose huddle and sat on the bench for a couple seconds. He muttered something to himself, rejoined the huddle and went back out on the oor. He did not have another rebound stripped away the rest of the night. It really was a sight, one of the best rebounding performances Ive witnessed. Afeaki is long and several times he reached over a scrum of players to tip the ball to himself before securing it. Other times, he was simply the biggest and fastest player to the carom.

After slow start, Dons down Hillsdale

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With eight minutes gone in the its basketball game against Hillsdale, things werent looking so swell for the Aragon girls basketball team. To say that it was a rough quarter would be an understatement. The Dons, the sixth seed in the
Peninsula Athletic League tournament, only had two points and trailed the Knights 7-2. They were a bit nervous, said Aragon coach Annette GennaroTrimble. (But) our defense really stepped it up. And its that defense that sparked an offensive explosion for the Dons, as they outscored their rivals 47-31
the rest of the way to come away with the 49-38 victory. Hillsdale will play San Mateo tonight in the quarternals of the PAL tournament. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. The win came on a night where neither team shot the ball very well, shooting a combined 20 percent from the oor. But the difference
came in the desire department the Dons simply wanted it more by hustling, anticipating passes and dominating the glass. Our defense really stepped it up, said Aragon guard Felicia Dito, who had a super night in the win. Were able to get fast breaks on offense. And our offense was on, we were running the plays correctly.
Their aggressiveness was the catalyst for their comeback in the second quarter. Aragons Justine Kubo and Dito attacked the basket. They only had three eld goals in the quarter, but scored seven points from the free-throw line. They also outrebounded the Knights 22-10 in the rst half.

Ellis pours in 35 in Warriorswin over Utah

By Lynn DeBruin
Warriors 107, Jazz 100

Kirilenko (sprained ankle) and Raja Bell (strained calf), and reserve guard Ronnie Price (sprained toe), are now 0-3 under Corbin. The game was tied at 48 at halftime and at 76 through three quarters. The Jazz went ahead 90Monta Ellis 89 on a putback by Al Jefferson. But Ellis followed with a driving layup and Reggie Williams hit a 3-pointer for a 94-90 lead with 6:09 remaining. Ellis scored ve straight to make it 99-92. Deron Williams 3-pointer cut it to 103-100
SALT LAKE CITY Monta Ellis scored 35 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 107-100 victory Wednesday night over Utah to keep new Jazz head coach Ty Corbin winless since Jerry Sloan retired. The Jazz (31-26) will go into the All-Star break without any momentum having lost 13 of their last 17, still dealing with injuries and trying to nd their way under a new coach. The Warriors (26-29) have won three straight. They did it despite an off night for star guard Stephen Curry, who was 1 of 7 on the night. His only basket came on a reverse layup that helped seal the win for Golden State. The Jazz, who were without starters Andrei
with 52 second remaining, but Curry scored and Dorell Wright added a pair of free throws. The Warriors made 8 of 19 3-pointers, while the Jazz shot 3 of 14. Jefferson led the Jazz with 23 points, Paul Millsap added 22 and C.J. Miles 20. Deron Williams continued to struggle. He was 5 of 13 and 1 of 5 from beyond the arc. A power outage knocked out half of the overhead lights in the second quarter, and after a 2minute delay, ofcials opted to keep playing, deeming it bright enough. All of the lights were still not on when the Jazz went on a 7-0 run to start the second half. Miles banked in a 3-pointer as the shot clock wound down then followed with a steal and dunk to give the Jazz a 55-48 lead. He gave Utah a 9-point lead, 61-52, with a driving layup with 8:27 left.
A pair of 3-pointers by Charlie Bell and Wright cut Utahs lead to 65-62 with 6 minutes left in the third. Then it was Ellis turn. He hit a 3-pointer and jumper to cut Utahs lead to 70-69 with 2:42 left in the third quarter. Curry, who scored a game-high 27 points in a 96-81 Warriors victory on Jan. 30, had only two points at halftime. He started 0 for 6, including 0 for 3 from 3-point range. Utahs Williams, who missed the rst game against the Warriors because of a sprained wrist, entered Wednesdays rematch still lacking condence in his shot. He was just 5 of 13 in Tuesdays loss to Phoenix, including 0 of 3 from 3-point range. He came out more aggressive Wednesday and but missed two 3-pointers in the nal minute.
Report: Raiders sign Seymour to 2-year deal

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders agreed Wednesday with potential free agent defensive tackle Richard Seymour on a twoyear, $30 million contract that includes $22.5 million in guaranteed money. SI.com rst reported the contract, saying Seymour would be paid $15 million each of the next two years with $7.5 million in 2012 guaranteed in a bonus. The Raiders would not conrm the deal. The Raiders gave New England a 2011 rstround pick for Seymour before the 2009 season and owner Al Davis made it a priority to keep Seymour.
Richard Seymour
The deal allows Oakland to avoid using a franchise tag on Seymour for a second straight season. He got about $12.4 million last season and would have been in line for a salary of about $14.9 million next season with the tag. Instead he signed a deal that will keep him in Oakland for two more sea-
sons. Its a great place to play, Seymour said late in the season. The fans are unlike any others in the league. Theyre denitely com-
mitted, and they want the same type of players to play in this organization. The history of being here, the mystique of putting that silver and black on and representing the Raiders, its been a lifelong dream for me and, hopefully, it continues. The Raiders deal to acquire Seymour was questioned by some because Oaklands picks recently have been so high in the draft. With the Raiders having their best season since 2002, the Patriots will pick 17th overall in Aprils draft. You may not think it was a good trade, Davis said last month. I thought it was a great trade. Still do. Seymour was selected to his sixth Pro Bowl
last season, recording 5 1/2 sacks and anchoring Oaklands defense after moving inside to defensive tackle. Seymour was praised by coaches and teammates for his play as well as his leadership on a unit that included two rookies in the front seven. Seymour, 31, is a three-time Super Bowl winner with the Patriots and has 48.5 career sacks. The Raiders have historically done a good job keeping potential free agents who they didnt want to test the free agent market. They signed long-term deals in recent years with cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, punter Shane Lechler and kicker Sebastian Janikowski instead of using franchise tags.
49ers staff hoping there wont be work stoppage

By Antonio Gonzalez
SANTA CLARA New 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman has been prying around the teams headquarters for the last month, scouring old lms, playbooks and anything else he can nd on how late Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh rst installed the West Coast offense in San Francisco. Apparently he cant get enough. I went to Home Depot last night and got an ax and a pick. Im ready to dig for them, Roman joked. Planning is about all the new 49ers coaching staff can do right now. Roman and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio
acknowledged Wednesday that their transition could be entirely more difcult if any offseason workouts or even training camp are canceled because of negotiations between the NFL and players union over a new collective bargaining agreement. Theyre preparing for the offseason as if there wont be a work stoppage, even formulating playbooks without knowing exactly which players will be on the roster. New coach Jim Harbaugh who brought Roman and Fangio from his Stanford staff when he was hired last month has already mapped out dates for summer mini-camps and organized team activities. Of course, that might all change. The current collective bargaining agreement
expires at the end of the day March 3, and the contentious negotiations between owners and players are making a work stoppage increasingly likely. Thats a scary scenario for a 49ers team that is unsettled at quarterback and cant sign any free agents until a deal is reached. Were not going to have any contact with the players in a football sense, Roman said on the possibility of a lockout. At least thats my understanding of it right now. We really havent (talked) up to this point. Were too busy dotting Is and crossing Ts. You dont want to give players information thats not fully concrete. There are some things that are a little more solid. The two coordinators already have decided they will work from an upstairs booth during
games. Roman and Harbaugh will likely split play-calling duties in the West Coast offense, and Fangio plans to use personnel for a 3-4 defense that at times might mimic a 4-3 base. Special teams coordinator and associate head coach Brad Seely also said his job title in the past has allowed him to be a liaison between Harbaugh and the other coaches when necessary. As for anything with players, theres not much they can do until theres a new collective bargaining agreement in place. The sensitivity of this issue thats going on now, the only interaction Ive had with any players is if theyre here in the building, Fangio said. We pass in the hall, say hello, introduce themselves, try to nd out about them as people, their family.

Ready for end to MeloWatch Taurasi

By Colin Fly
MILWAUKEE Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony put on a gray Denver sweatshirt and a pair of pricey headphones, then sprinted for the bus. A wrong turn kept him from the door and sent him right back into a wall of questions. The key gure in the longest-running trade story of the season is just looking for a little peace at this point. He cant watch TV, cant read the news and cant avoid the same questions he simply cant answer right now. I really dont know whats going to happen, to be honest with you, Anthony said during a cordial chat after a Wednesday shootaround as Denver prepared to play the Milwaukee Bucks. Speculation on where Anthony might land keeps intensifying, with the latest rumors continuing to point to the Knicks in a blockbuster deal. Or the Nets. Or the Bulls. Or the Rockets. Anthony said hes ready for a resolution, even though he insists hes not fretting about what might happen as the Feb. 24 trade dead-
line approaches. I know something will have to happen whether I sign the extension or whether the Nuggets move me or whatever, said Anthony, who is averaging 24.9 points this year. Something is going to happen, so I try not to Carmelo stress myself out about it. Anthony That doesnt mean he can avoid the hours upon hours of coverage devoted to one of the NBAs biggest stars. He said he can see all the rumors out there, no longer needing to watch the latest television reports. I turn on the TV, and I turn it right back off because its always something, its always a new team, always a rumor, always this person saying that, that person saying this, he said. I try not to pay attention to it. Nuggets coach George Karl believes he, Anthony and the organization all want the same thing, and that Denver will have cap space this offseason to build around the superstar if he stayed.
I think sometimes he thinks he can be better someplace else. As a competitor, Id say, I think youre wrong. I think the best place for you to be is Denver, Karl said. Well have space, well have the ability to make maneuvers, well have versatility in our roster for the rst time in at least four or ve years next year. But unfortunately, free agency, were at the point where were at the whim of whats going to happen. Karl described it as a weird karma to be talking about Anthonys status every day and that he probably doesnt tell Anthony about the advantages of staying in Denver enough. Anthony said his thoughts keep turning to a murky future that he hopes begins to clear in a few days. But rst, hell have to get past at least one more major session with the media over the All-Star break. I know theyre going to be looking to talk to me. And Im going to be in L.A. for the AllStar weekend and every media outlet is going to be there, so its going to be a MeloWatch, I guess, he said.

NFL franchise tags: who gets them?

By Barry Wilner
NEW YORK While the league and union play a game of chicken over a new collective bargaining agreement, the 32 teams also are playing tag. As in applying franchise tags to key players. Its another contentious issue for both sides, with the owners saying they have the right to franchise players before the CBA runs out March 3, and the NFLPA claiming with no agreement for the 2011 season, how can anybody be franchised? While the merits are debated, an impressive group of stars, including Peyton Manning and Michael Vick, will have been tagged by Feb. 24. By applying the exclusive franchise tag, a team must pay the player the average of the top ve salaries at his position. Manning, naturally, would get such a big paycheck anyway hes almost certainly headed for the most lucrative deal in NFL history at around $23 million should he remain Indianapolis franchise player. More likely, the Colts will reach a long-term deal with the four-time MVP that probably will be his nal NFL contract. Baltimores Haloti Ngata, the NFLs best nose tackle, will get around $12 million if the tags stick.
Barring a new CBA in the next two weeks, the union will continue to ght on this issue, even though some of its members will collect a windfall from being tagged. San Diegos Vincent Jackson, for example, is in line for a phenomenal payday, even if he isnt one of the leagues top five wide receivers. Certainly, Jackson had to go through some distressing maneuvering to get to this point, including a seven-game holdout and three-game team suspension in 2010. But his salary for 2011, assuming there is a season, will go from around $300,000 to a projected $11 million. Jackson also could wind up elsewhere. Along with Ngata, Jets linebacker David Harris, Chiefs linebacker Tamba Hali, and Patriots guard Logan Mankins, Jackson received a non-exclusive tag. They can negotiate with other teams, with compensation for signing them two rst-round draft picks. Thats a steep price, although a game-changer such as Ngata might be worth it. Then again, the Ravens almost certainly would match any offer, particularly if it came from an AFC team like the Jets, Colts or Chargers, all of whom could become even more of a Super Bowl threat with Ngata anchoring the defense. A number of teams arent expected to use the franchise tag, including the Bears and Lions, who have said as much. Others unlikeThe university said in a statement Wednesday that a herbicide commonly used to kill trees was applied in lethal amounts to the soil around the two trees, and that they likely cant be saved. Auburn discovered the poisoning after taking soil samples on Jan. 28, a day after a man called a syndicated radio show based in Birmingham saying he had used the herbicide on the trees. The weekend after the Iron Bowl, I went to Auburn, Ala., because I live 30 miles away, and
ly to franchise a player are teams with no pending free agents worth the kind of money it would cost: the Cardinals, Bills, Bengals, Browns, Texans, Dolphins, Saints, Rams, 49ers and Seahawks. At the other extreme, Jacksonville tight end Marcedes Lewis is worth keeping. So are Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley and Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams or center Ryan Kalil. Tampa Bay must choose between linebacker Barrett Ruud and guard Davin Joseph. Minnesota could tag Sidney Rice, who comes off an injury-plagued season, or linebacker Chad Greenway. Asked whether the CBA uncertainty might factor into the decision, Vikings player personnel vice president Rick Spielman said, Potentially it can because of the restrictions you have with getting some extensions done on these guys. It puts you in a bind a little bit. Super Bowl champion Green Bay has several upcoming free agents, including defensive Cullen Jenkins, wide receiver James Jones, guard Daryn Colledge or placekicker Mason Crosby. Of that group, Jenkins is most likely to draw the franchise tag. Considering all the competition for roster spots with 16 players coming back from injured reserve, though, the Packers probably will stand pat rather than increase their payroll with a tag. I poisoned the Toomers trees, the caller told The Paul Finebaum Radio Show, saying he was at the Iron Bowl. Calling himself Al from Dadeville, he said he used Spike 80DF, also known as tebuthiuron, and the trees denitely will die. The caller signed off with, Roll Damn Tide. Auburn fans traditionally celebrate by using toilet paper to roll the Toomers Corner trees, which are estimated to be more than 130 years old.

Diana Taurasi was always condent she would be cleared of doping allegations. It nally happened on Wednesday. Taurasi had her provisional suspension lifted by the Turkish Basketball Federation, which said the lab that returned a positive test retracted its report after it evaluated Taurasis statements in her defense. The federation did not say whether the lab made a mistake. I got the news this morning at 5 a.m. and was in shock, Taurasi told The Associated Press by phone from her Phoenix home. It was kind of like the rst time when I heard the test result had come back positive. Its really good that the facts came out and the truth came out. Taurasi had insisted that she never used performance-enhancing drugs, even though she had her contract terminated by Turkish club Fenerbahce last month. The lab that Diana Taurasi tested her sample had said the results came back positive for the stimulant modanil. Life can throw you curveballs at any given time, said Taurasi, who will also be able to compete in the 2012 Olympics. I can be mad and angry, but I will move forward. Not everyone has the same nancial resources I did. Hopefully this will let people know every process has holes and to wait for the facts to come out before making decisions. With the lifting of the suspension, Taurasi is also free to continue playing in the Turkish basketball league, although she doesnt plan on going back there anytime soon. Thats pretty unlikely, the 28-year-old WNBA star said. Im here in Phoenix working out and am more focused on getting myself in the best shape of my life and going from there. She intends to return to the WNBA when the season begins in June. The Mercury guard has led the league in scoring the last four seasons and signed a multiyear extension last August. The last two months havent been easy for the former UConn star. Yet she kept her faith that she would be cleared. I tried to handle it as best as possible, Taurasi said. There might have been times in my own private moments when I was angry or questioned why me, but I am glad the truth came out. Its scary that our careers can be taken away from us. Taurasi was the rst prominent WNBA player to test positive for a banned substance. Had she not been cleared, Taurasi could have missed the London Games, because the International Olympic Committee bars any athlete given a doping penalty of six months or more from competing. Fenerbahce had terminated Taurasis contract after the Ankara-based lab within Hacettepe University conrmed that her A and B samples tested positive for modanil following a Turkish league game Nov. 13. Taurasi had been suspended by Fenerbahce ever since.

Bays scoring Wednesday night. I put my best defender (on Sarabia) and [my defender] couldnt do anything, Hodzic said. [Sarabia] really facilitated their top guys. It was a pinpoint pass from Sarabia that resulted in Half Moon Bays rst goal 17 minutes into the game. From just past the mideld stripe, Sarabia sent a perfectly weighted ball over the top of the Hillsdale defense and right into the path of a streaking Vasquez, who onetouched it past the goalkeeper into the upper right corner of the goal. It was a quick turn of events, given that the Knights had their best scoring chance snuffed out just six minutes earlier. Hillsdales Kelly Lau guided a pass through trafc into the stride of Dylan Magann in the Half Moon Bay penally about the game. I cant remember where I heard the rst statement probably on the radio but the man said he appreciated soccer a lot more now that he understands why they pass the ball backward. Tuesday as I returned from the BurlingameCarlmont girls soccer game, reporter Bill Silverfarb asked who won the game, before blurting out a 0-0 score. Turns out, he was right. Thats why I love soccer, he said. Why? I asked. No scoring, he replied. And they pass the ball backward. heading into recess, mainly due to the play of Jenna Yee and her six rst-half points. The Dons continued their aggressiveness to start the third quarter and although they werent hitting their shots, they were nding themselves at the line. For the night, Aragon was 21 of 34 from the charity stripe, with Dito going an impressive 9 of 10 en route to a 12point, 13-rebound, six-steal performance. The third quarter proved to be quite the period. After Kubo tied things up at 19 with a ty box. Cougar goalkeeper Jose Bobby Vazquez came aggressively off his line and smothered the shot on Maganns foot. The rebound was then cleared out of danger. Had he not come out and saved that it would have been a different game, Mederos said. The Cougars padded their lead just nine minutes into the second half. Sarabia intercepted a goal kick about 50 yards from goal and immediately sent a long ball into the Hillsdale penalty box. Carrillo ran on and put it away for a 20 Cougars lead that all but clinched the victory. Hodzic believed the Cougars were the better team and knew that even though the teams tied at 2-2 in their previous meeting, the Knights were lucky to come away with a point that day. Now, any knowledgeable sports fan should know the benet of the backward pass as an integral part of the game. It is designed to draw the defense out of their end just enough to create space and seams in the defense, enough room for a striker to go at goal. Its also used to quickly switch sides of the eld, hoping to catch the defense slipping in covering the suddenly different angle of attack. I recently came up with an analogy that might help explain it better. Think about a basketball teams half-court offense. Many plays have three players standing around the 3-point line, passing the ball around the perimeter. jumper, the teams would nd themselves tied four more times. It wasnt until Dito scored the quarters last ve points that the Dons went up for good. Shes playing really well for us right now, Gennaro-Trimble said of her senior guard. I personally, dont think I did very well, Dito said. But I tried to help the other girls. When Im down, I just motivate the other girls and get them to play their best. Aragon would not relinquish the lead in the

I think Half Moon Bay is a much better team (than we are). They have a lot of skill, Hodzic said. They played a much better game (Wednesday night) than when we met them before. It didnt take long for Mederos to know he had the makings of a special team, but also knew the competition atop the Ocean Division would be tough. I thought the third game of the season (wed compete for the title). I thought it would come down to Hillsdale, San Mateo and us, Mederos said. I thought wed be one of the top three teams. Turns out, the Cougars are the top team. Every now and then, the left wing player will send a cross-court pass to the right wing player, bypassing the middle man. Its a skip pass and its a play used to try to get a quick, open look at the basket. Think of the backward pass in soccer as a skip pass in basketball. When done precisely, both plays can, eventually, result in points.

Half Moon Bay countered Garcia with a slew of skillful players of its own, including playmaking midelder Peter Sarabia and strikers Miguel Piti Carrillo and Miguel Vasquez. Theyve been the key to a Cougars offense that Mederos estimates is averaging three goals per game. All three accounted for Half Moon

We were still condent even though we only had two (points), Dito said. It motivated us more, because in the second quarter, thats when we scored big. But the Knights still held a three-point lead

Down the stretch, it was the terric free-throw shooting of Dito and Kubo that put some considerable distance between the squads. Kubo nished with 21 points to go with eight rebounds and three steals.

Earnhardt Jr.wrecks Daytona 500 car

By Chris Jenkins
Instead of leading the eld to the green ag in the Daytona 500, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start from the back of the pack after wrecking his primary race car in practice. Earnhardt still could win Sundays seasonopening race hell just have his work much harder to do so. Earnhardt mangled his pole-winning car in practice Wednesday, colliding with ve-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson and sliding into a wall. Weve got plenty of race cars, Earnhardt said. I aint worried about how fast well be or whether well be as good. Well be ne. But it never feels good tearing them up. Earnhardt was pushing Johnson, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, in a two-car draft when Johnson had to back off the gas for slower-moving trafc in front of him. Earnhardt plowed into Johnsons back bumper and nearly spun him out, but Johnson saved his car from skidding. A second pack of cars led by Martin Truex Jr. closed quickly on Earnhardts bumper, causing the No. 88 Chevrolet to spin across the track and into the inside wall. Johnson said he had to slow down suddenly when a pack of three cars ahead of them on the track driven by Robby Gordon, Michael Waltrip and David Gilliland drifted high from the bottom of the track toward the top. I was running out of space, and I thought that hole was going to close, and I lifted, and I got turned sideways from behind, Johnson said. The accident was largely a function of the
WED THU FRI SAT
two-car drafting style that has become the fastest way around Daytona International Speedway this year. Working together, two cars are so much faster than a single car or a larger pack that Earnhardt says other drivers have to watch the closing speed of the cars coming up behind them. Youve got to pay attention out there, man, Earnhardt said. You want to come out here and race, youve got to pay attention. Hendrick Motorsports immediately pulled out a backup car for Earnhardt. He will have to forfeit the top starting spot in his qualifying race Thursday and Sundays season opener. Earnhardts wreck wasnt the only big development in an eventful Wednesday at Daytona, where NASCAR continued to tinker with its rules. The track opened with NASCAR ofcials ordering a change to the restrictor plate designed to back speeds off the 206 mph mark reached earlier in Speedweeks. The move to a smaller plate is expected to slow cars by 2-3 mph when they are drafting. Waltrip topped 206 in last weekends exhibition Budweiser Shootout. I dont think you are going to hear one driver complain about that because it isnt going to affect the racing, defending Daytona 500 champion Jamie McMurray said. You really cant tell in the car, when everyone is moving the same speed. The Nationwide series also made a move to reduce speeds, changing the size of the tapered spacer that serves a similar function as a restrictor plate in the Cup series. The changes have all come since Saturday nights race, which had a very different style of

racing than the big drafting packs everyone had grown accustomed to at Daytona and Talladega. New pavement at Daytona created a smooth, fast surface, and teams have capitalized by guring out that a two-car draft is the fastest way around. Reviews on the new style have differed, and NASCAR issued two technical changes following qualifying on Sunday designed to limit the amount of time two cars can stay hooked together. Four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon believes fans simply need to accept the new style of racing.

Parents re-examine drop-side cribs after recalls

By Lisa A. Flam
Margie McGlone brought one key item into her nursery when she was pregnant last summer. It was her sisters crib, one they both loved and looked forward to keeping in the family. I thought itd be cool for my son to have grown up in the same crib as his cousins, said McGlone, whose older sister had held onto the crib through three moves after her children outgrew it. Then McGlone got nervous, learning that millions of drop-side cribs were being recalled after at least 32 strangulation and suffocation deaths were linked to them. I was like, wait a minute, this is a drop-side, said McGlone, of Bronxville, N.Y. Her niece and nephew had been ne in the crib, an antiqued-white model with painted gold accents. And the company had a kit to make the sides immobile. But as a new-momto-be, she was too worried, especially after seeing depictions of the potential hazard a babys head getting stuck after a side detached. Though nervous to break the news to her sister, she took apart the beloved heirloom and bought a crib with stationary sides for her son, Finley, born in November. I thought, I cant in good conscience knowing theyre all being recalled and all being changed, I cant keep it. I cant use it, she said. Every time he was in it I wouldnt feel comfortable. More than 10 million drop-side cribs were recalled in recent years, culminating with the Consumer Product Safety Commissions announcement in December that after decades
Starting in June, it will be illegal to sell a crib with a side that moves up and down, a once-common feature that lets you reach in and pick up a baby with ease.
of use, the sale of drop-side cribs was being banned. Starting in June, it will be illegal to sell a crib with a side that moves up and down, a once-common feature that lets you reach in and pick up a baby with ease. Were sensitive to tough economic times, says commission spokesman Scott Wolfson. We hope people will go out and buy the safer cribs. Many large retailers stopped selling dropside cribs more than a year ago in anticipation of the new standard, and experts believe many parents are using cribs with xed sides. But baby furniture is so frequently passed down, to preserve memories and cut costs, that the traditional style remains in nurseries, grandparents homes, basements and attics everywhere. So where does that leave parents who used a drop-side crib without a problem for one child but now, as a new baby arrives, nd the design being outlawed? For some, a close examination of the crib is just what it takes to feel safe. In Indianapolis, Heather Ray uses a crib given to her by another family before her
daughter, Hadassah, was born in June. The family told her it hadnt been recalled, and Ray made sure the hardware was fastened correctly, testing the crib by putting weight on it. We saw it as a blessing from God we didnt have to spend that extra money, she said. We dont have any safety issues with it. I feel that its perfectly safe, and Im not nervous about her being in it. Jenine Capano puts her baby girl to sleep in the same drop-side crib her two sons slept in without any trouble. News about the crib style caught her attention, but the company that made the crib was out of business, so she couldnt check for a recall. I put the side up and down a few times to try to decide if it was safe or not, and my husband and I felt it was still safe, said Capano, of Yonkers, N.Y. Its always been great. Since I thought what we have is perfectly safe, I see no reason to spend more money on a new crib, she added. Other families are deciding that a replacement crib is in order. Last summer, Jessica Drukin of Croton-onHudson, N.Y., replaced her 15-month-old sons hand-me-down drop-side crib because the side wasnt locking properly, and she was aware of the potential hazards. We got rid of it once I did not feel it was safe, she said. While it wont be illegal to have a drop-side at home when the new standard takes effect, the safety commission urges parents to get one with xed sides. If they cant, they should investigate whether their crib has been recalled, is missing any pieces or has sustained any damage.

Israel claims Iran warships to transit Suez Canal

By Mark Lavie
JERUSALEM Israels foreign minister claimed Wednesday that Iran is about to send two warships through the Suez Canal for the rst time in years, calling it a provocation, but he offered no evidence. The Egyptian authority that runs the canal denied it. Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said the ships would cross later Wednesday, en route to Syria. He did not say how he knew it. This is a provocation that proves that Iranian audacity and insolence are increasing, he said in a statement. Ahmed el-Manakhli, head of Egypts canal operations room, denied the claim, saying warships must get permission 48 hours before crossing, and so far, we have not been notied. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said in an e-mailed statement that Israel is closely following the movements of the Iranian ships and has updated friendly states on the issue. Israel will continue to follow the ships movements. Security ofcials said they have known of Iranian ship movements for some time and expect them to arrive at the canal Thursday. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. In Washington, the Pentagon declined to comment. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley conrmed the presence of the ships in the area of the canal but would not say if that was considered provocative.

Israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks during the Conference Of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Jerusalem. Israel said on Wednesday it had alerted friendly nationsin the Middle East about two Iranian warships planning to pass through Egypt's Suez Canal for Syria.
There are two ships in the Red Sea, he said, What their intention is, what their destination is, I cant say. Meanwhile, the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Enterprise was transiting the Red Sea on Wednesday, after passing through the Suez Canal on its way to the U.S. Navys 5th Fleet area to support combat operations in Afghanistan and other duties in the region, two ofcials in Washington said. Israel considers Iran an existential threat because of its nuclear program, missile development, support for militants and threats to destroy Israel. While Israel has pressed for international sanctions to stop Irans nuclear program, it has not taken the possibility of a military strike off the table. Lieberman spoke to American Jewish leaders, but reporters were excluded. Later, his ofce released a statement with the charge about the Iranian ships crossing the Suez Canal on their way to Syria, a longtime ally. The international community must understand that Israel cannot ignore these provocations forever, he said, according to the statement. We expect the international community to act with haste and determination against the Iranian provocations that are intended to destabilize the situation in the region. Lieberman is known for his extreme pronouncements. Israel has been distributing dire predictions about the destabilization of the
Middle East in the wake of the toppling of the regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, warning that Islamic militants could take over. Most experts play down that prospect. The prices of Brent and WTI climbed after the report on the Iranian warships. Irans action added to tension in the region and absolutely moved markets, according to PFGBest oil analyst Phil Flynn. He said traders are worried that spreading unrest in the Middle East will disrupt oil production and shipments. The face of the Middle East is changing in pretty dramatic fashion in a very short period of time, he said. The risk to supply is going up. Earlier Wednesday, Israeli President Shimon Peres said Iranian lawmakers are shaming their people by calling for anti-government protesters to be tried and executed. Calling Iran the source of the greatest political and moral corruption in the Middle East, Peres said the Iranian people will stop their own government, referring to the tens of thousands of protesters who took to the streets of Tehran on Monday. Iranian security forces used force to disperse the demonstrations. Two people were killed, and dozens injured. What the present Iranian leadership does is a shame on Iranian history, the Iranian culture and the pain of their own people, Peres told a group of American Jewish leaders in Jerusalem. In Irans parliament Tuesday, more than 200 legislators released a statement demanding capital punishment for protest leaders.

Police kill two in clashes with Yemen protesters

By Ahmed Al-Haj
SANAA, Yemen Police opened re on protesters during clashes in a southern Yemeni port Wednesday, killing two people, in the rst known deaths in six days of Egypt-style demonstrations across the countrys biggest cities, demanding the ouster of the president, a key U.S. ally in battling alQaida. Around 2,000 police ooded the streets of the capital, Sanaa, trying to halt protests. Firing in the air, police locked the gates of Sanaa
University with chains to prevent thousands of protesting students inside from marching out join crowds demonstrating elsewhere in the city, witnesses said. A call spread via Facebook and Twitter urging Yemenis to join a series of One Million People rallies on a so-called Friday of Rage in all Yemeni cities, demanding the ouster of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, in power for 32 years. We will remain in the streets until the regimes departure, according to a statement posted on Facebook.
MANAMA, Bahrain The swelling protests against Bahrains rulers gained momentum Wednesday with huge crowds calling for a sweeping political overhaul and the kingdoms stunned leaders appearing to shift tactics after attempts to crush the uprising stoked rage on the streets and sharp criticism from Western allies. The widening challenges to the Arab worlds political order emboldened by the downfall of oldguard regimes in Tunisia and Egypt also ared in Libya for the rst time, with riot police battling protesters marching against the 42-year rule of Moammar Gadha. In Yemen, the embattled president ooded the ancient capital of Sanaa with security forces to try to stamp out demonstrations that began nearly a week ago. They turned deadly Wednesday in the southern port of Aden, with two people killed in clashes with police. Its clear now that no Arab leader can truly feel comfortable, said Ali Fakhro, a political analyst and commentator in Bahrain. Those days have been swept away. Its also taken a big swipe at Western policy assumptions. Tiny Bahrain has an outsized importance for Washington as home of the U.S. Navys 5th Fleet, a counterweight to Irans military expansion in the Gulf. Yemen is a strategic battleground against Islamic militants inspired by al-Qaida. Even Gadha once an arch-foe of the West has been gradually rebuilding international ties and remains a mercurial, but well examined, factor in Mideast affairs.
CAIRO Egypts new military rulers came under criticism Wednesday from a leading democracy advocate as well as from youth and womens groups for what they say is a failure to make decisions openly and include a larger segment of society. Five days after ousting Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising, Egyptians continued protests and strikes over a host of grievances from paltry wages to toxic waste dumping. They deed the second warning in three days from the ruling Armed Forces Supreme Council to halt all labor unrest at a time when the economy is staggering. The caretaker government also gave its rst estimate of the death toll
in the 18-day democracy uprising. Health Minister Ahmed Sameh Farid said at least 365 civilians died according to a preliminary count that does not include Mohamed police or prisonElBaradei ers. Mubaraks departure set off a chain reaction of revolt around the Middle East, with anti-government demonstrations reported Wednesday in Libya, Bahrain, Jordan and Yemen. Democracy advocate and Nobel laureate Mohamed ElBaradei called on the council to include civilians in a transitional presidential council to be entrusted with setting the course toward democracy.

MEXICO CITY Gunmen who shot up an SUV carrying two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, killing one, knew they were attacking law enforcement ofcers judging from comments they made before opening re, a U.S. ofcial told the Associated Press on Wednesday. The law enforcement ofcial, who agreed to discuss the case only on condition of anonymity, refused to
reveal the specic comments, but said the blue Suburban had diplomatic plates that also may have indicated who was on board. But details emerging Wednesday indicated that while the gunmen may have known they were shooting law enforcement ofcers, they had not sought out the two agents. Special Agent Jaime Zapata, 32, died and a second agent, Victor Avila, was wounded Tuesday when they were attacked after being stopped on a four-lane federal highway.

units at Metro Center Senior Housing and Fosters Landing. It would also provide rent subsidies to support very low, low-, and moderate-income persons living in affordable housing units in Foster City. The CDA has obligated $6.3 million in housing funds to construct 60 affordable housing units as part of the PilgrimTriton Master Plan. Construction of the mixed-use development is expected to be completed by 2015. The 20-acre project will include more than 600 units of housing and will include retail and ofce space. For new development, more than $20.5 million will be applied toward building up to 350 affordable housing units at the vacant 15-acre site and other sites in the city as developers come forward with new projects. Another $3 million of CDA money will be used to rehabilitate existing affordable housing units and to provide subsidies for renters who qualify for assistance. The city has three redevelopment project areas including Marlin Cove, Hillsdale/Gull and Project Area One, at the end of Pitcairn Drive. Money spent on redevelopment projects is money that cannot be spent on other more critical services, the Governors Ofce said. Local taxpayers should be aware that every dollar spent on redevelopment is one less dollar that can be given to local schools. Redevelopment spending also occur in middle school rather than at the elementary schools. Even if the board approves the possible layoff notications, its still not clear to which teachers the notices would be addressed. Those conversations are ongoing, said Mack. This years decision could be extra difcult as districts will not get budget information from the state until after the May deadline to send out nal layoff notications. The discussion comes at the end of a tough budget year for the district. School Force, the foundation which supports the Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary School District, raised more than $1.6 million for the current school year. A majority of the funds raised, over $800,000, helped keep class sizes smaller, School Force President Ardythe Andrews said previously. In kindergarten through third grade, classes have a 25:1 student/teacher ratio rather than 30:1. There were also funds dedicated to music, reading and science specialists relief center on Sept. 14 armed with addresses within the disaster zone found on the Internet. They tried getting new identication from the Department of Motor Vehicles so they could then receive aid from Pacic Gas and Electric but were apprehended by San Bruno police. Prosecutors had agreed with the court for a two-year maximum for Justin but unsuccessfully sought two years and eight months for Smith. Each receives credit toward the sentences for time served while in custody in lieu of $100,000 bail. Niesha Marie Taylor, 26, and Deonte Jerome Bennett, 25, reportedly acted at the same time as Justin and Smith and are similarly charged. There is a $100,000 arrest warrant out for Bennett and Taylor will enter a Superior Court plea Feb. 23. The four are not the only one prosecupast couple of days, Chu has had to reschedule some of her dental appointments. She is not bothered by it, however, because Dustys story is so unique.

The cat does not necessarily come when it is called, Coleman said. shortchanges city services, such as police and re protection. State and local governments are in a severe budget crisis, and every available taxpayer dollar should be used for the highest priority core services, Durn said. Foster City is also set to fund synthetic turf projects at two parks for about $3 million with the use of some redevelopment agency money, if the council approves the expenditures. Both Port Royal and Sea Cloud parks are set for the eld xes that will save the city money in the long term as synthetic elds require little maintenance and no water to operate. The council is set to appropriate $3.2 million in available reserves from capital improvement project funds to pay for the improvements. Since Sea Cloud Park is in an area of the city identied for redevelopment, Project Area One CDA money can be used to improve the eld, Toler said. The Sea Cloud Park project is estimated to cost about $1.5 million that will be paid for with redevelopment agency money if the council OKs a public improvements reimbursement agreement, which is expected. The Foster City Council meets 6:30 p.m., Monday, Feb. 22, City Hall, 620 Foster City Blvd., Foster City.

Reimbursement Agreement between the city and CDA, which oversees redevelopment in Foster City. The move is being made as Gov. Jerry Brown has proposed dissolving the agencies statewide to help tackle Californias nearly $28 billion decit. This reimbursement agreement will allow the city to act on behalf of the agency to expend those funds for affordable housing needs in Foster City regardless of whether the governors proposal is approved by the Legislature, Toler told the Daily Journal yesterday. The Governors Ofce is not amused, however, by the attempts by cities to redirect the money. It is unfortunate that cities across the state are rushing to commit hundreds of millions of dollars to redevelopment at a time when they are also considering cuts to core services in order to close large budget deficits, said Gil Durn, Browns press secretary. The CDA is expected to nish scal year 2010-11 with nearly $19.6 million in available reserves. Four projects could be funded through the reimbursement agreement including Pilgrim-Triton Phase I, new development at the 15-acre site next to City Hall and rehabilitation of existing affordable

So far, $613,000 has been raised, according to SchoolForce.org. At the same meeting, the board will select an architect, Loinakis, and construction management firm, Blach Construction, to oversee measures I and N. The bond measures, for $25 million and $35 million respectively, were passed in November to upgrade district facilities. Neither resolution offers an hourly rate, but notes a negotiated rate will be brought back before the board after the contracts are reviewed by county counsel.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
ThuRSDAy, Feb. 17, 2011

Some important changes youve been trying to make for a long time could actually come through for you in the year ahead. However, it might take the help of others to make it happen, so do what you can to encourage cooperation.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) - The secret to quickly becoming

unpopular is to be overly insistent about getting your own way. The people youre with will make a swift exit and leave you standing alone.
AQuARIuS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Be especially cautious when with someone who is under a lot of stress. It wouldnt take much to induce a breakdown from him/her over a seemingly inconsequential matter. PISCeS (Feb. 20-March 20) - There is a strong possibility that co-workers will currently be hard to please, not because of anything youll do or not do, but because of what is going on it their lives. Be tolerant. ARIeS (March 21-April 19) - Although there might be a lot
of peer pressure, you dont have to go along with it. If you feel something isnt right, go your own way, just like the song says.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Those unfinished projects or jobs you left hanging are likely to rear their unwelcome heads and keep you from doing what you really want to do. Let it be a lesson about completing what you start. LIbRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Dont stand idly by watching
another fumble for words to explain something about which youre an expert. Jump in and help him/her out without stealing the persons thunder.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - The interests of others might

take precedence over your own, but remember, postponing what you want to do wont hurt, but being selfishly demanding will.
TAuRuS (April 20-May 20) - You should take reports of an unkind word from an associate with a nodule of Mrs. Dash. Your informant could be putting a spin on something that was not intended. GeMINI (May 21-June 20) - A forceful personality might try to dominate the conversation by overriding what everybody else is trying to say. Without starting an argument, dont put up with it. CANCeR (June 21-July 22) - Your thinking cap might be slipping a bit when it comes to your material affairs. Keep it
SAGITTARIuS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Be on guard about making sure that youre in control of your mouth at all times. Speaking without thinking could cause you to unintentionally say things to others that you shouldnt. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Be gracious about not
getting your way at all times, even if you think youre more entitled to it than others. Let everybody have a turn at being able to call the shots. Copyright 2011, United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Around the world

CIA: If caught, bin Laden would be sent to Gitmo
WASHINGTON What would the government do if Osama bin Laden, an FBI most-wanted terrorist for more than a decade, were captured? Washington is abuzz about questions whether bin Laden would ever see the inside of an American courtroom or where he might be imprisoned if he doesnt stand trial. The discussion, which on Wednesday bounced from Capitol Hill to the White House, is still mostly an academic exercise because there is no suggestion that the government is any closer to nding or capOsama turing bin Laden, believed to be hiding in bin Laden Pakistan. For years, President Barack Obamas administration has maintained that criminal courts were more than equipped to handle even the most serious terror cases, but when faced with that question Wednesday during a Senate hearing, CIA Director Leon Panetta said the administration probably would just send bin Laden to the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. That suggests that, at least under current U.S. law, bin Laden would never be transferred to U.S. soil to be tried in the civilian court system. Congress last year ordered that no federal money could be spent to ship prisoners from Guantanamo Bay to the U.S. mainland. Bin Laden, who has evaded capture for more than 10 years, has been indicted and could stand trial in New York City.
Hawaii approves same-sex civil unions

HONOLULU Hawaii lawmakers approved a bill Wednesday to allow civil unions for same-sex couples, marking an end to what the governor called an emotional process for a longtime battleground in the gay rights movement. Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombies ofce said he intends to sign the bill into law within 10 business days. Civil unions would begin Jan. 1, 2012, making the state the seventh in the nation to grant essentially the same rights of marriage to same-sex couples without authorizing marriage itself. Im overjoyed. Im so relieved. Im so happy, said Kristin Bacon of Honolulu, who intends to get a civil union with her partner of 15 years. Were really representing aloha and the aloha spirit with this vote. Im thrilled. Bacon was among a crowd of supporters wearing rainbow-colored lei and stickers saying Equality as they cheered, hugged and cried for joy after the Senates 18-5 vote. The House passed the bill last week. Gay rights advocates praised the vote as a victory for equal rights in a state known for its diversity and tolerance. Opponents of the measure, many of them Christians, said civil unions erode the concept of the traditional family and could lead to same-sex marriage.

Egyptian womens issues highlighted by Logan case

CAIRO For a moment, it seemed Egypt wasnt just throwing off its political shackles. Women long suffering from the scourge of sexual harassment reported Cairos Tahrir Square, command central of the uprising, had become a safe zone free of the groping and leering common in their country. Now the reported attack on a senior U.S. television correspondent during the nal night of the 18-day revolt has shown that the threat of violence against women in Egypt remains very real. Lara Logan CBS has said its chief foreign correspondent, Lara Logan, went through a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating by a frenzied mob in the square during Fridays celebrations of Egyptian President Hosni Mubaraks ouster. The Associated Press does not name victims of sexual assault unless the victim agrees to be identied.
I feel very grieved for all of us. Now well need God even more in our islands, said Stephanie Kon of Honolulu. Rather than leave the decision to elected lawmakers, she wanted the state to vote on the issue as it did 13 years ago when voters overwhelmingly passed the nations rst defense of marriage constitutional amendment. The amendment, approved by 69 percent of voters, was a response to a 1993 state Supreme Court decision that nearly legalized gay marriage. The ruling would have made Hawaii the rst state to allow same-sex couples to wed, but it didnt take effect while voters were given a chance to decide. The defense of marriage amendment gave the Legislature the power to reserve marriage to opposite-sex couples, and resulted in a law banning gay marriage in Hawaii but also left the door open for civil unions. Since then, 29 other states also have enacted defense of marriage amendments. Five more states and the District of Columbia permit same-sex marriage.
I have always believed that civil unions respect our diversity, protect peoples privacy, and reinforce our core values of equality and aloha, Abercrombie said in a statement released minutes after Wednesdays vote. For me, this bill represents equal rights for all the people of Hawaii. The anxiously awaited civil unions vote came immediately after the Senate confirmed the states first openly gay Supreme Court justice, Sabrina McKenna. The Hawaii Legislature also passed a similar civil unions bill last year, but it was vetoed by then-Gov. Linda Lingle, a Republican. She was term-limited from running for election again in November. The final vote came after years of thousands-strong rallies, election battles and passionate public testimony on an issue that has divided the Rainbow State for nearly 20 years. Its been a long time coming. To see it come to fruition is a big day, said David Robins of Honolulu, who also wants full marriage rights for gay couples. This is the right rst step.
Feinstein: GOP bill would halt energy projects

By Kevin Freking
Indicted Berlusconi says hes not worried

ROME Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi said Wednesday he is not worried by an impending prostitution trial, where embarrassing testimony could end his political career. In his rst public comments since his indictment, Berlusconi dodged questions about the case during a news conference on economic themes in Rome. He said that he would not be speaking about the case out of love of my country but added: I can only say one thing, Im not worried at all. The 74-year-old Italian leader was ordered Tuesday to stand trial on charges he paid a 17-year-old Moroccan girl for sex, then used his inuence to cover it up. The trial is set to begin on April 6.
WASHINGTON Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein says renewable energy projects across the country will be jeopardized if House Republicans are successful in scaling back a program that helps companies gain financing for transmission lines
Dianne Feinstein
and solar, wind and geothermal plants. The House is considering legislation to fund the federal government through Sept. 30. As part of their budget proposal, GOP lawmakers want steep cuts to a federal loan-guar-
antee program. Feinstein said the GOPs effort, if successful, would halt dozens of projects around the country, many in the West. It would prevent the Department of Energy from finalizing any more loan guarantees, which help companies finance projects at lower interest rates. Her letter to senators of both parties was released to reporters Wednesday.
