County may increase water inspection fees
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Plans to hike fees for small water
systems in San Mateo County are
worrying local water companies and
growers who say a seven-fold
increase to cover inspection costs
will be difficult to absorb in the cur-
rent economy.

When Derek Gaffney overheard
his children having a synonym chal-
lenge, he had to smile.
Five-year-old Milla and her big
brother Alex, almost 7, were seeing
who could give synonyms for the
word big.
There’s large, gigantic, huge or
grand, to name a few. The family
who lives in Woodside has a bit of
thing for words, particularly syn-
onyms. Earlier this month, Gaffney
and his wife Linda Hymes released
a game about the topic aptly named

“It’s about triggering your brain
to think in different directions,” said
Hymes.
Blue, for example, can be a color
but also a description for sadness,

context.

HEATHER MURTAGH/DAILY JOURNAL
An obsession with words started
years before. Gaffney, originally
from Ireland, recalled a boy in
school who would learn a word a
day by reading the dictionary. A
game focused on words was an idea
sparked by this classmate.
“I had to marry Linda to get it
done,” he said with a small laugh.
Hymes, a former professional bal-
lerina, was touring with a company
when she met Gaffney. Gaffney had
a restaurant called Play Wrights.
After performances in Ohio,
Gaffney’s restaurant was one of the
few options. The pair, married

currently regulates approximately
30 systems but officials say fees are
too low for the staff to inspect them
properly. Fees bring in roughly
$21,000 annually — a far cry from
the $161,000 minimum needed.
Cities ready

building buy
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo County is moving
closer to owning twin buildings on
the border of San Carlos and
Redwood City after asking each city
to declare the acquisition conforms
to their respective general plans.
The Redwood City Planning
Commission has already considered
the land at One and 2 Circle Star
Way. Next up is the San Carlos
Planning Commission which
Tuesday will also consider the same
issue.
The land technically falls in San
Carlos but the border with Redwood
City runs straight through the prop-
erty’s parking garage.

The county now has two options:
A two-tiered fee schedule charging

needing less oversight and a $6,500
annual fee for more complex sys-

construction of the buildings and

evaluation is necessary.
The San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors last month green-light-
ed the $40 million purchase with
plans to relocate displaced county
offices and a majority of the Health
and Human Services departments.
County officials say owning build-
ings rather than leasing them will
save in the long run. Primarily, the
deal will free the county from pay-
ing between $191,000 and $600,000
a month for its various leases.
The purchase price includes
$39.95 million for the buildings and
another $700,000 in associated
costs. The county shelled out a
$250,000 refundable deposit initial-
ly, followed by another $250,000.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
That’s entertainment ...
E
lectricity did not become common
on the Peninsula until the early
1900s. Without electricity, there
could not be any radios, televisions, enter-
tainment centers or associated activities. For
many millenniums, caves and eventually
buildings were lit by light from the fireplace
or candles. It was a dark world. Nevertheless,
the drive and desire to entertain oneself or
friends was a strong enough drive that fes-
tered in mankind. It flowed naturally enough
in him or her that outlets were found in the
most common things like a rock or a stick.
Throwing rocks (shotput) and sticks (javelin)
led to competitions that could exhilarate one
soul. Competition cleansed one’s psyche and
differentiated one person from another.
Pebbles obtained from a creek must have
promoted activities such as rolling the peb-
bles (and later glass or metal balls) in the
contest called marbles. As society evolved,
organized activities sprung up that would
involve groups of people that wanted to kill
time left over after the chores of the day
were done.
Hitting rocks with a stick, and later hitting
small cloth balls led to games like baseball
and softball. The game could be played
almost anywhere there was an open field that
was fairly flat. Streets were also perfect sites
for an improvised baseball game for kids
with time on their hands. Those who could
afford a glove to catch the ball were envied
by those who caught the ball and suffered the
blistering sting after catching the hard ball.
LOCAL
On summer days,the Mills’Estate swimming hole in Burlingame/Millbrae was the place to be.
Bases were improvised using a clump of dirt
or piece of wood but nobody slid into the
base due to the resulting consequences of
torn clothing (which your mother had to
mend) or cement burn from the pavement.
Kick-the-can (from the curb) was a much
lower form of entertainment. Used tin cans
from the household meal were easily
obtained and when it was placed on the street
curb under a streetlight, the game would con-
tinue into the night until the players drifted
home to bed. The game could be declared
finished when “Ole, ole Olsen. All in free”
was shouted to the players. At times, the field
of players could sometimes drop down to
only one naive, focused individual who was
not aware that the players had played him for
a sucker when he was “it” and they proceed-
ed to sneak home.
At the school playground, “You’re it”
became the cry on the playground before
school when the exuberance of the early
morning promoted running and touching as a
form of greeting.
During the ’30s and ’40s, when automobile

tires were made of rubber, some super-smart
individual invented slingshots. All that was
needed was a “Y” shaped piece of wood,
usually from a tree, a piece of string to tie
the 6- to 7-inch pieces of rubber cut from a
rubber inner-tube that were attached to the
piece of wood, a 1- or 2-inch square piece of
leather that was tied to the rubber strips and
you had a perfect slingshot that could be
used to sling rocks at a tin can. A variation of
the slingshot was a “rubber gun” apparatus
that started with a 6- of 7-inch piece of wood
that resembled a pistol. On the handle, you
tied or taped a wooden clothespin to the grip
where the half-inch piece of rubber tire was

chronic back pain. Due to several auto accidents and
sports injuries, I have personally suffered from multiple
disc herniations in both my neck and lower back and
understand firsthand the severe pain and disability that
comes with these types of injuries to the point where I

to have spinal surgery due to the high risk; instead I
wanted a non-surgical non-invasive therapy that would

That is when I turned to Spinal Decompression, not as
a doctor, but as a patient and it completely changed my
life. Within a few months my pain went from severe to
mild and I was able to return back to my activities of

PG&E:We wouldn’t have monitored pipe differently

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS record-keeping of its pipeline system, sug-

SAN JOSE — The utility responsible for a

natural gas pipeline that exploded in San
Bruno last fall said it wouldn’t have moni-
tored the pipeline differently even if its main-
tenance records had been more complete.
Records from the Pacific Gas & Electric Co.
indicated the pipe did not have a welded seam,
even though federal investigators have deter-
mined that was the point of origin of the blast
that killed eight people and left dozens of
homes uninhabitable. The cause of the explo-
sion remained under investigation.
According to utility officials, federal regula-
tions establish the same guidelines for pipes
with or without seams. PG&E spokesman Joe
Molica said that even if the utility was aware
of a welded seam in the pipeline, no changes
would have been made on how the utility kept
track of it.
“Federal regulations do not differentiate
between certain seam types and seamless pipe
for purposes of surveying, patrolling or
inspecting a utility’s transmission system,”
Molica said.
Investigators say the blast originated at a
poorly installed weld on the seam of the 54-
year-old pipe. Several pipeline safety experts
have questioned why the utility was unable to
identify and repair shoddy welds along the
stretch of pipe in question.
Experts also took issue with the utility’s
gesting that it was indicative of major prob-
lems at the utility.
“There appears to be a consistent pattern of
claiming lost records, poor decisions, inade-
quate evaluation, choosing the wrong assess-
ment methods and analysis that quite frankly
suggests there are major problems with this
operation on more than one front,” pipeline
safety expert Richard Kuprewicz said.
As part of what she termed a “broader
search to verify all its pipeline records,”
PG&E spokeswoman Katie Romans told the
Associated Press on Saturday that the utility
has sent letters to 42,000 current and former
employees, retirees and contractors seeking
any records regarding the pipeline.
More details about the accident and
PG&E’s role are expected when the National
Transportation Safety Board begins a three-
day hearing on the topic March 1. Ahead of
the hearing, the safety board has said the rup-
tured gas line had 150 welding defects, with
the break apparently starting in a flawed weld
along one segment’s seam.
The board said that PG&E’s “survey sheets
and charts” had mistakenly described the pipe
as not having a welded seam.
PG&E hasn’t commented on its pipe’s
welds since it was installed in 1956, calling
that a confidential part of the safety board’s
inquiry.
Report: Increase on San
Bruno line violated rules
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The pressure
increases that Pacific Gas and Electric Co.
has acknowledged occurred on the natural
gas pipeline that exploded in San Bruno last
fall violated federal regulations.
Natural safety gas rules say the utility
would have had to inspect the pipeline in San
Bruno for weak welds after spiking the pres-
sure on the line in 2003 and 2008.
A seam in the pipeline has been cited in
federal reports as the source of the Sept. 9
blast that killed eight people and left dozens
of homes uninhabitable.
The seam would have most likely been dis-
covered during inspections, but PG&E con-
ducted a less expensive test in 2009 that
would have detected only corrosion in the
pipeline.
Safety experts said the spikes may have
weakened the lines and made them more
prone to rupture.
“There is an obligation to say something is
not right here,” Richard Kuprewicz, a
Redmond, Wash., pipeline safety consultant,
said of PG&E’s
practices leading
up to the blast.
“Now you have to
take the appropri-
ate action — what
is the plan to deal
with this,” he said.
The U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration issued a statement that
concluded that any intentional boost that
pushes an urban gas transmission line beyond
legal limits requires the operator to inspect
for weakness in the line.
A pipeline operator “may not intentionally
exceed (maximum allowable operating pres-
sure) for any reason,” the agency said in its
statement.
But the increases in pressure on the San
Bruno pipeline were necessary to continue
operations on the pipeline, according to
PG&E spokesman Joe Molica.
There was also a key difference between
what he termed the “continuous operation of
a pipeline at a certain pressure, and occasion-
al brief fluctuations in pressure,” he said.

Five myths about foot care

Old myths like that example are fun to laugh at. We
believed them as children. “Step on a crack and you’ll
break your mother’s back.” But there are other myths
that are no laughing matter, especially when they in-
volve your health.
MYTH: Cutting a notch (a “V”) in a toenail will re-
lieve the pain of ingrown toenails.
REALITY: When a toenail is ingrown, the nail curves
downward and grows into the skin. Cutting a “V”
in the toenail does not affect its growth. New nail
growth will continue to curve downward. Cutting a
“V” may actually cause more problems and is painful
in many cases.
MYTH: My foot or ankle can’t be broken if I can walk
on it.
REALITY: It’s entirely possible to walk on a foot or
ankle with a broken bone. It depends on your thresh-
old for pain, as well as the severity of the injury. But
it’s not a smart idea. Walking with a broken bone can
cause further damage. It is crucial to stay off an in-
jured foot until diagnosis by a foot and ankle surgeon.
Until then, apply ice and elevate the foot to reduce
pain.
MYTH: Shoes cause bunions.
REALITY: Bunions are most often caused by an in-
herited faulty mechanical structure of the foot. It is
not the bunion itself that is inherited, but certain
foot types make a person prone to developing a bun-
ion. While wearing shoes that crowd the toes together
can, over time, make bunions more painful, shoes
themselves do not cause bunions. Although some
treatments can ease the pain of bunions, only surgery
can correct the deformity.
MYTH: A doctor can’t fix a broken toe.
REALITY: Nineteen of the 26 bones in the foot are
toe bones. There are things we can do to make a bro-
ken toe heal better and prevent problems later on,
like arthritis or toe deformities. Broken toes that
aren’t treated correctly can also make walking and
wearing shoes difficult. A foot and ankle surgeon will
x-ray the toe to learn more about the fracture. If the
broken toe is out of alignment, the surgeon may have
to insert a pin, screw or plate to reposition the bone.
MYTH: Corns have roots.
REALITY: A corn is a small build-up of skin caused
by friction. Many corns result from a hammertoe de-
formity, where the toe knuckle rubs against the shoe.
The only way to eliminate these corns is to surgically
correct the hammertoe condition. Unlike a callus, a Al Ghamgosar, DPM
corn has a central core of hard material. But corns do
not have roots. Attempting to cut off a corn or apply-
ing medicated corn pads can lead to serious infection
or even amputation. A foot and ankle surgeon can
safely evaluate and treat corns and the conditions
contributing to them.

Wisconsin GOP ups pressure on Dems
Protesters gather at the State capitol grounds as members of the Wisconsin State Government discuss a
proposed legislation by Republican Governor Scott Walker to reduce public employee union bargaining power
and benefits in Madison,Wis.
Wisconsin governor takes on unions
By Scott Bauer
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. — It took Scott
Walker only a few weeks to push the
Capitol into political chaos.
The newly elected Republican
governor of Wisconsin has set his
sights on forcing public workers to
pay more for benefits as he looks to
balance the state’s budget — savings
he needs to help cover the cost of tax
cuts he demanded the day he took
office.
Democrats, who are no longer in
power, have likened Walker to a dic-
tator, and demonstrators protesting a
contentious Walker-backed labor bill
have waived signs comparing him to
ousted Egyptian leader Hosni
Mubarak. Even President Barack
Obama has weighed in, calling the
bill “an assault on unions.”
Just seven weeks into his term, the
43-year-old son of a preacher has
shown no sign of compromising. He
has a GOP majority in both houses
of the Legislature that has already
helped him make good on campaign
promises.

Walker insists that his push to
force concessions from public
employees by doubling their health
insurance contributions and requir-
ing them to pay half their pension
costs is all about balancing the budg-
et and not busting unions. But the bill
also would strip them of most collec-
tive bargaining rights.
“I got elected to get Wisconsin
working again and to improve the
economy,” Walker said in an inter-
view with the Associated Press. “At
the same time it meant fixing our
budget crisis.”
By Ryan J. Foley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin
Republicans on Sunday upped the
pressure on Democrats who fled to
Illinois to return home and vote on an
anti-union bill, with the governor
calling them obstructionists and a
GOP lawmaker threatening to con-
vene without them.
Gov. Scott Walker said the 14
minority Democrats who left
Madison on Thursday were failing to
do their jobs by “hiding out” in
another state. And Senate Majority
Leader Scott Fitzgerald said his
chamber would meet Tuesday to act
on non-spending bills and confirm
some of the governor’s appointees
even if the Democrats don’t show up
— a scenario that should outrage
their constituents.
Senate Democrats acknowledged
that the 19 Republicans could pass
any item that doesn’t spend state
money in their absence. The budget-
repair bill they have been blocking
requires a quorum of 20 senators to
pass, while other measures require
only a simple majority of the cham-
ber’s 33 members.
Nonetheless, Democrats said they
were standing firm in their opposition
to the budget-repair bill, which would
take away the right of most public
employees to collectively bargain for
their benefits and working condi-
tions. Hundreds of protesters filled
the Capitol for a sixth straight day,
noisily calling on Walker to drop the
plan they consider an assault on
workers’ rights.
Mary Bell, the president of
Wisconsin’s powerful teachers’

union, called on teachers to return to
work as scheduled Monday rather
than continue absences to protest that
have shut down public schools across
the state. The Madison district said it
would still cancel Monday’s classes.
Bell said unions agreed to cuts in
health care and retirement benefits
that could reduce take-home pay for
many workers by about 8 percent,
and it was time for the Republican
governor to compromise.
In a Sunday morning interview
from Madison with Fox News,
Walker said he did not believe union
leaders were really interested in giv-
ing up their benefits and cities, school
districts and counties will need weak-
ened unions to cut spending for years
to come. Walker said he would not
compromise and predicted Wisconsin
would pave the way for other states to
follow suit, much like it did with wel-
fare reform and school vouchers in
the 1990s.
“We’re willing to take this as long
as it takes because in the end we’re
doing the right thing,” Walker said.
The sweeping measure led to mas-
sive protests that started Tuesday and
have gained steam, with an estimated
68,000 people turning out Saturday
inside and around the Capitol. Most
opposed the bill, but the day marked
the first time that a significant contin-
gent of Walker supporters showed up
to counter-protest.
Sunday’s crowd was much smaller,
as snow and freezing rain moved the
protest inside the Capitol. But the
crowd swelled throughout the day,
and protesters chanted for hours in
opposition to the bill. Another large
protest was expected Monday, when
many state workers are being fur-
loughed to save money.

Memories of ’95 haunt GOP
as shutdown talk growing
By Charles Babington
THEASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Few memo-
ries haunt Republicans more deeply
than the 1995-96 partial shutdown of
the federal government, which
helped President Bill Clinton reverse
his falling fortunes and recast House
Republicans as stubborn partisans,
not savvy insurgents.
Now, as Congress careens toward
a budget impasse, government insid-
ers wonder if another shutdown is
imminent — and whether
Republicans again would suffer the
most blame.
Leaders of both parties say they
are determined to avoid a shutdown.
But they have not yielded on the
amount of spending cuts they will
demand or accept. Meanwhile, shut-
down talk is rippling through
Washington and beyond.
“It’s good for political rhetoric to
talk about a government shutdown.
But I don’t know anybody that wants
that to happen,” Sen. Tom Coburn,
R-Okla., said on “Fox News
Sunday.”
Behind the scenes, Senate officials
are spending Congress’ President’s
Day recess week poring over the
spending proposal passed by the
House early Saturday, according to
one Democratic leader.
“We are prepared to negotiate
right away,” Sen. Chuck Schumer,
D-N.Y., said on CNN’s “State of the
Union.”
The Obama administration is
warning that workers who handle
Social Security benefits might be
furloughed. Almost hourly, top
Democrats and Republicans accuse
each other of pushing the govern-
ment to the brink by being inflexible.
“So much is at stake if this great
government shuts down,” said House
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. “I
would hope that instead of having
ultimatums, we go forward with an
approach that talks about how we
keep government open.”
The House Republican campaign
committee said Democrats are
“shouting for a shutdown.”
For all the political drama and
rhetoric, the actual stakes of a shut-
down are not so dire for ordinary
Americans. The military would stay

that instead of
having ultimatums,

active, interstate highways would
remain open and government checks
would be issued, although new
applicants for benefits under pro-
grams such as Social Security might
have their sign-ups delayed.
In fact, the federal government has
had more than a dozen “shutdowns”
since 1981. Some lasted only hours,
and few are remembered.
The exception is the two-stage
partial shutdown of 1995 and 1996.
Then, as now, a Democratic presi-
dent clashed over spending priorities
with a recently installed Republican
House majority. Then, as now,
Congress had failed to fund the gov-
ernment for a full fiscal year, so
agencies depended on a series of
“continuing resolutions” to keep
them in businesses while lawmakers
feuded.
When Clinton in late 1995 vetoed
a Republican-crafted spending bill
— he called it insufficient for health
care, education and other programs
— parts of the government closed
for six days.
After a brief truce, the parties
clashed again. Hundreds of thou-
sands of “non-essential” federal
workers were furloughed for three
weeks, from mid-December to early
January. (Some workers eventually
received back pay for missed days).
National parks, museums, passport
offices and other agencies closed.
Each party blamed the other. But
public opinion soon swung toward
Clinton and the Democrats. House
Speaker Newt Gingrich didn’t help
himself by suggesting he had trig-
gered the shutdown out of pique
because Clinton had made him ride
in the back of Air Force One. Friends
called it the biggest mistake of
Gingrich’s career.

Bloody cartel turf wars
Twelve taxi drivers,fares killed in Mexican resort
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ACAPULCO, Mexico — A spate
of attacks on taxis in the Mexican
resort city of Acapulco has left 12
taxi drivers or passengers dead,
police said Sunday, just hours before
the Mexican Open tennis tourna-
ment is scheduled to start.
Acapulco has been the scene of
bloody drug cartel turf wars, and taxi
drivers have often been targeted for
extortion or recruited by the gangs to
act as lookouts or transport drugs.
The organizers of the largest ten-
nis tournament in Latin America
said in a statement Sunday that the
Mexican government has assured
them that appropriate security meas-
ures have been taken for the event
that starts Monday.
Police in Guerrero state, where
Acapulco is located, said that four
suspects had been detained in rela-
tion with some of the attacks. The
suspects had guns, a grenade and a
machete that police say may have
been used to decapitate some of the
victims.
The attacks began Friday, when
five taxi drivers were found dead in
or near their vehicles.
The slaughter continued Saturday,
when a driver was found bound and
shot to death near his taxi, and two
others were found dead of bullet
wounds inside their vehicles. One of
the drivers had been beheaded.

Military wants more global partnerships in space

WASHINGTON — The U.S. mil-
itary needs to better protect its satel-
lites and strengthen its ability to use
them as weapons as the uncharted
battlefield of space becomes
increasingly crowded and danger-
ous, Pentagon leaders say.
A new military strategy for space,
as mapped out by the Pentagon,

grams to improve America’s ability

passengers.
On Sunday, the violence came
closer to the city’s tourist zone,
where the tennis matches are held.
Five cars were set afire and a man’s
body was found hacked to pieces
outside an apartment building.
Dozens of cars have been set
ablaze in Acapulco in recent days,
for reasons that are not entirely
clear.
Tournament organizers at the
Association of Tennis Professionals,
in a statement sent to the Associated
Press, said the group had received
assurances from all levels of the
sea,” said Gen. Kevin Chilton, who
led U.S. Strategic Command until
he retired late last month. “Space is
not just a convenience. It’s become a
critical part in every other (battle-
field) domain.”
The U.S., Chilton said, needs to
make sure that it protects and main-
tains the battlefield capabilities it
gets from space-based assets,
including global positioning data,
missile warning system informa-
tion, and communications with
fighters or unmanned drones that are

siles against the enemy.

“It’s prudent to anticipate that, at
this point, we will not go into a

Chilton told the Associated Press in
an interview. “We need to be think-
ing about how we would go into
future conflicts and make sure that

While the new strategy — the first
of its kind — stresses the peaceful
use of space, it also underscores the
importance of satellites in both wag-

Nasdaq nears 10-year high

By David K. Randall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Nasdaq finished
within 25 points of its highest level in a
decade Friday, reminding investors of a
time many would rather forget: The
bursting of the dot-com bubble.
Today, tech is hot again. Facebook —
which hasn’t even gone public yet — is
worth some $50 billion. Online content
company Demand Media rose 33 per-
cent on the day of its initial public offer-
ing last month. The Nasdaq composite
index closed Friday at 2,834, still only a
little more than half its all-time closing
high of 5,049 in March 2000. But the
index of mostly tech stocks is up 26 per-
cent over the past 12 months.
Should investors be worried about
another bubble? Not really, because
there’s a twist this time around:
Technology companies are making
money and may valued correctly.
“It is night and day compared to 10
years ago,” says Barry Mills, the manag-
er of the $400 million Dreyfus
Technology Growth fund. “These busi-
ness models are real. The revenues are
real, and the cash flows are real.”
Consider this: Judging by diluted
earnings per share, a conservative
method of valuing what a company’s
stocks are worth, the companies in the
Wall Street
Nasdaq index were collectively earning
$39.28 per share in December 1999 and
priced at 103.6 times their annual earn-
ings. Now, the index has diluted earnings
per share of $127.64 and a price-earn-
ings ratio of 22.11.
The economic recovery in the U.S. is
one reason that technology companies
are earning such high profits. Companies
put off upgrading their computer sys-
tems and other large purchases during
the worst days of the recession, and are
making up for that now. Others are
investing in new technology before they
add employees.
International growth is another reason
to be optimistic. Half of the profits of the
technology companies in the Standard &
Poor’s 500 index come from outside
North America, says Bill Stone, chief
investment strategist at PNC Asset
Management. China is now the world’s
second-largest market for PCs, and con-
sumers in emerging market countries are
showing strong demand for smart
phones.
Technology companies in the S&P
500, a close proxy for the Nasdaq com-
posite, are up 8.4 percent so far this year,
about 2 percentage points more than the
index as a whole. Last year, tech compa-
nies returned 10 percent after dividends,
compared with the 15 percent return of
the full index.
And tech stocks as a whole may be
doing better than index returns show.
That’s because large companies — with
the exception of Apple — that were hot
stocks 10 years ago have matured and
their stocks have stalled. “The
Microsofts, Yahoos, and Googles of the
world aren’t growing like they used to,”
says Michael Sansoterra, manager of the
$510 million RidgeWorth Large Cap
Growth fund.
Bigger companies have a larger
weighting in the Nasdaq index than
smaller ones. Microsoft, for instance,
makes up 5.6 percent of the index. The
company has fallen 6.6 percent over the
past 12 months.
And now to the question on the mind
of any investor who was once burned by
a bubble: Is it too late to get in?
Stock valuations certainly don’t sug-
gest so. Tech stocks in the S&P 500 are
priced at 13.3 times earnings, which is
just 0.3 more than the broad index. Not
only that, but they are cheaper than they
were a year ago, when they cost 15.4
times earnings. With stocks trading at
reasonable levels, it’s harder to make an
epic mistake. Such as, say, buying tech-
nology stocks in June 2001, when they
cost 128.3 times earnings.

States ignored warnings on jobless insurance

By Kevin Freking
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — State officials had
plenty of warning. Over the past three
decades, two national commissions and
a series of government audits sounded
alarms about the dwindling amount of
money states were setting aside to pay
unemployment insurance to laid-off
workers.
“Trust Fund Reserves Inadequate,”
federal auditors said in a 1988 report.
It’s clear now the warnings were pret-
ty much ignored. Instead, states kept
whittling away at the trust funds, mostly
by cutting unemployment insurance
taxes at the behest of the business com-
munity. The low balances hastened
insolvency when the recession hit, lead-
ing about 30 states to borrow $41.5 bil-
lion from the federal government to pay
unemployment benefits to their growing
population of jobless.
The ramifications will be felt for
years.
In the short term, states must find the
money to pay interest on the loans.
Generally, that involves a special tax on
businesses until the loan is repaid. Some
states could tap general revenues, mak-
ing it harder to pay for schools, roads
and other state services.
In the long term, state will have to
replenish their unemployment insurance
programs. That typically leads to higher
payroll taxes, leaving companies with
less money to invest.
Past recessions have resulted in insol-
vencies. Seven states borrowed money in
the early 1990s; eight did so as a result
of the 2001 recession.
But the numbers are much worse this
time because of the recession was more
severe and the funds already were low
when it hit, said Wayne Vroman, an ana-
lyst at the Urban Institute, a liberal-lean-
ing think tank based in Washington.

estate in blighted S.F. downtown
SAN FRANCISCO — Josette Melchor spends much of her
time devising ways to lure art lovers into the contemporary exhi-
bition space she runs in downtown San Francisco, halfway
between the city’s Civic Center and bustling Union Square.
She also spends time making sure other people stay out.
“We don’t have open doors, ever. They’re always locked,” said
Melchor, whose Gray Area Foundation for the Arts sits at the
convergence of the Tenderloin and Mid-Market, two of the city’s
most downtrodden neighborhoods. “We must see 100 crimes
every week out of these windows, and although the city wants it
to change, it hasn’t happened.”
The foundation’s arrival in 2009 was heralded as the start of a
trend that would culminate in a unique creative hub along Market
Street, one of San Francisco’s busiest thoroughfares, where the
wide sidewalks are packed most days with tourists, street per-
formers and employees from the nearby financial district.
Yet the five block stretch of prime real estate known as Mid-
Market remains a sea of boarded-up storefronts and “For Lease”
signs, and transients are the most visible occupants. The most
common crimes in the area are drug deals and muggings, accord-
ing to San Francisco Police Department data. But a new crop of
potential tenants — Twitter Inc., the American Conservatory
Theater and the organizers of the annual Burning Man festival —
and a recently announced Mid-Market tax incentive plan are
renewing hope that a transformation is finally coming.

Terra Nova wins third straight PAL tourney

At halftime of Saturday’s Peninsula
Athletic League tournament final, the Terra
Nova girls basketball team found themselves
in a position they’ve only been in once this
year against another PAL team: trailing.
Mills, the second-place finisher in the Bay
Division this season, had come out in the first
Panthers a PAL dynasty
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The lasting image of Saturday night’s
Peninsula Athletic League tournament final
between Burlingame and South San Francisco
came with 43 seconds left in the game.
After a foul, Panthers head coach Jeff Dowd
pulled his seniors off the floor as the
Burlingame fans showered them with
applause. It was a fitting end to a phenomenal
PAL career for the likes of Kwesi Bailey,
Rodrigo Puliceno, Dean Ferrari, Zac Grotz
and company as they accomplished the
improbable by capturing a fourth consecutive
PAL tournament title in beating the Warriors
62-48.
No team has ever won four in a row, or three
in a row for that matter. So maybe it’s time to
start thinking of the Panthers boys basketball
team as a PAL dynasty.
“It means a lot to our program,” Dowd said,
a couple of moments after cutting down the
nets on a home floor that the seniors on his
team have only lost on once in the last three
years. “They’re a great group of kids, we’ve
been working really hard. We had (Kyle)
Shaffer get hurt and some of the other guys
stepped up. I’m proud of this group.”
“It’s a big deal, we’re four-time PAL cham-
pions,” Puliceno, the PAL Bay Division MVP
said. “I love this team, I love this school -
they’ve treated me well and this is like my
second home.”
Puliceno, who had to brunt the majority of
the load on the inside after Shaffer sprained
his ankle in a game against Jefferson, was his
usual self. The senior scored 15 points and
pulled down nine rebounds. “I feel blessed to
coach a kid like him,” Dowd said. “[He’s] a
fantastic player.”
Saturday’s victory capped a season where
the Panthers rolled through the PAL, winning
all 15 of their contests by an average score of
60-40. South City fell victim to the Panthers
twice this season, losing by an average of 33
points in both games going into Saturday’s
match-up. And the Panthers made it clear
from the get-go that Saturday’s final held

Cal rallies for doubleheader sweep
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
BERKELEY — Talk about torture. It’s tor-
ture enough when caused by a team’s on-field
play. When Mother Nature gets involved,
however, it’s an entirely deeper kind of tor-
ture.
The Cal baseball season — and as it stands,
the final baseball season for Golden Bears
baseball — finally got under way yesterday
against University of Utah, after two consecu-
tive rainouts Friday and Saturday. But, as any
faithful Giants fan can attest: All’s well that
ends well.
half with all guns blazing, playing a gutsy,
passionate brand of basketball that had rattled
a more physically dominant Tigers squad.
“It was pretty much a tough battle,” said
Terra Nova head coach Kareem Summerville.
“I knew Mills was going to come out in the
first half — the one thing is when you’re on
top everybody is going to bring their best
game and that’s what they did tonight in the
first half.”
Burlingame’s Nick Loew grabs a rebound in front of South City’s J.J.Vaioli as the Panthers’won
their fourth consecutive PAL tournament title Saturday night.
With upwards of 1,000 people in attendance
at Evans Diamond, plenty of Giants fans
showed for yesterday’s doubleheader, as the
2010 World Series trophy was on display.
And, the Bears upheld their end of the torture
theme, taking the first game 7-0, before
sweeping the Utes in the twin-bill with a dra-
matic four-run rally in the bottom of the ninth
to win the nightcap 6-5.
“It was difficult being rained out for two
consecutive days ... it was really hard not to
play,” Cal manager Dave Esquir said. “I think
both teams were a little stale from being back
at a hotel room, or being back at our dorms,
and not playing.”
But Terilyn Moe, Ivonne Cook Taylor and
the rest of the Tigers aren’t the two-time
defending PAL tournament champions by
chance — trailing by eight at the break, Terra
Nova came out and stormed a Vikings team
notorious for their second half brain
aneurisms in route to a 62-45 victory, capping
a 14-0 run through the PAL this season. Terra
Nova has now won three straight PAL tourna-
ment titles.

And, don’t be fooled by the Cal touchdown
in Game 1. The game was scoreless until the
Bears broke through with a run in the sixth on
an RBI double off the bat of sophomore
cleanup hitter Devin Rodriguez. Cal then
broke it open with a six-run eighth inning,
capped by a grand slam from sophomore third
baseman Mitch Delfino.
Maybe it had something to do with Cal tak-
ing a team picture with the Commissioner’s
Trophy at home plate between games. But,
Game 2 is when things got deliciously tortur-
ous.
The Bears trailed 5-2 heading into their

“We weren’t aggressive in the first half,”
said Moe, Terra Nova’s All-league guard.
“Our game is fast and aggressive. We weren’t
doing that. [But] there was no way we’re
going to lose this game. There are a lot of peo-
ple out there that want to see us lose and there
was no way that was going to happen.”
Mills might have had some people thinking
otherwise, especially after a second quarter

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Trevor Bayne
finally made a mistake. Fortunately for him, it
didn’t happen until he missed the turn pulling
into Victory Lane at the Daytona 500.
The youngest driver to win the Great
American Race gave the historic Wood
Brothers team its fifth Daytona 500 victory —
its first since 1976 with David Pearson — and
Bayne did it in a No. 21 Ford that was retro-
fitted to resemble Pearson’s famed ride.
In just his second Sprint Cup start, the 20-
year-old Bayne stunned NASCAR’s biggest
names with a thrilling overtime win Sunday at
Daytona International Speedway, holding off
Carl Edwards after fan favorite Dale
Earnhardt Jr. crashed in NASCAR’s first
attempt at a green-white-checkered flag finish.
“Our first 500, are you kidding me?” said
Bayne, who needed directions to Victory
Lane. “Wow. This is unbelievable.”
Unbelievable, indeed.
Just one day after celebrating his 20th birth-
day and leaving his teenage years behind, the
aw-shucks Tennessean who shaves once a
week and considers “Rugrats” his favorite TV
show captured the sport’s biggest race.
When he found himself at the front, and vic-
tory just two laps away, he never thought it
would last. Bayne was content just to say he
had been leading at the start of the green-
white-checkered.
“I’m a little bit worried that one of them is
going to come after me tonight,” he said. “I’m
going to have to sleep with one eye open.
That’s why I said I felt a little undeserving.
I’m leading, and I’m saying, ’Who can I
push?”’
Bayne thought for sure Tony Stewart or
someone else would attempt to pass.
Nobody did.

more domination.
Burlingame jumped out to a 10-1 lead in
the first quarter and held a 19-8 advantage by
the frame’s end with Puliceno’s nine points
equaling more than the entire Warriors team.
“Our execution (wasn’t there),” said South
City head coach Jorge Chevez. “We were a
little too stagnant, we settled for a lot of open
jumpers and we weren’t able to attack the
basket. Even though they’re bigger, we still
wanted to go at them and we weren’t very
smart about that. We just got some bad shots
in the first half,” he said.
By the half’s end, seven different Panthers
had found the bottom of the net. Puliceno led
the way with 12, but the presence of
Burlingame’s outside shooters was the real
difference. Ferrari, Neil DeQuant and Conor
Haupt were true from downtown as
Burlingame built a 37-16 lead at halftime.
“We’ve beat them pretty good all three
times we’ve played them,” Dowd said. “And I
think they did a good job of shooting the 3-
ball today. The one thing we said coming in
was we don’t want to give up 3’s, we don’t
want to give up lay-ups and [we want to]
make them live kind of in that mid-range area.
The first half, we did a pretty good job of that.
They’re a good, quick, athletic team and
sometimes those teams give us problems but
tonight out kids played right through it.”
a ballgame in the second half. They found
their range from the outside, connecting three
times from beyond the arc to put together
their best offensive quarter. But every time the
Warriors would cut the lead to the point
where a comeback seemed somewhat believ-
able, the Panthers would answer. The lead
was 20 by the end of three and the fourth
quarter appeared to be a mere formality.
South City’s last stand came to start the
fourth. They began the frame on a 7-0 run to
trim the lead to 13 behind the continued hot-
shooting of Warriors junior Marquis Johnson,
who the night before scored 19 second-half
points.
But Bailey and Nick Loew, Shaffer’s
replacement in the PAL tournament’s later
rounds, were there to respond. The Panthers
only scored six buckets in the second half, but
they were a near-perfect 12-for-13 from the
free throw line.
“For us seniors, it was our last guaranteed
game here,” Bailey said. “It was a great win
(and) we’re not ready for this season to be
over yet. At the beginning of the year we had
four goals - this was one of them.”
“If we played in the first half like we did in
the second it might have been a different ball
game,” Chevez said. “Burlingame is the class
of the PAL and that’s what everybody shoots
for — to be up there like them. That’s what
we’ll try to get to next year, hopefully.”
In their four PAL tournament victories, the
Panthers have outscored their opponents 52-
40 in the final.

where they put up 19 points on 6-for-15
shooting from the field. Stephanie Delbianco,
who struggled in the first quarter to the point
of throwing up a pair of air balls, suddenly
found her range. The Mills guard had nine
points in the frame to fuel the offensive
attack.
She wasn’t the only upset-minded Viking,
Kristen Lastofka and Lexi Chierici brought
some fire and intensity as Mills shed any kind
of intimidation with every bucket that fell in
their favor.
“Personally I was [rattled],” Taylor said.
“But I don’t know about everyone else.”
“[We told the team to] be patient [and] set-
tle down,” said Summerville of the team’s
halftime pep talk. “Terilyn told the girls ‘we
need to come together, work hard and in this
third quarter let’s put it together.’”
In essence, that attitude in the third won the
game for the Tigers.
“They [Terra Nova] came out physical,
aggressive; they intimidated us in the third
quarter,” said Mills head coach Dave Matsu.
“I think the difference in the game was the
third quarter.”
The third quarter was the season in a nut-
shell for both teams. On one side, the Tigers
came out and blitzed the Vikings. Before they
knew what hit them, that eight-point halftime
lead had turned into a one-point deficit after
Malia Elliott Tufono hit her second 3-pointer
hand, Mills collapsed. Offensively, the
Vikings disappeared, committing four
turnovers and shooting two-of-11 from the
floor. Perhaps, scarier for the Vikings was the
fact that Taylor and Moe were showing signs
of taking over the ballgame.
But Mills held on for as long as they could,
even taking a one-point lead into the fourth
quarter.
It was then that the wheels totally came off.
The Vikings were outscored 19-3 in the final
eight minutes of the contest — failing to hit a
single field goal in the frame. And that thing
about Moe and Taylor taking over, well it
came true. Mo finished with 22 points —
Taylor scored a game-high 24 points and
pulled down 10 rebounds in a second half
where she was nearly unstoppable.
“We did a lot of little things wrongs,”
Chierici said. “And they have two phenome-
nal athletes that get their job done. Little mis-
takes and errors were the key to this game.
I’m proud of my team. That’s my team — at
the end of the day I’ll have their back.”
“The third quarter has been our Achilles
heel the whole year,” Matsu said, barely audi-
tory after three days of yelling instructions
from the Mills sideline. “If anyone has sug-
gestions on how to play better in the third
quarter, I’m open for suggestions.”
“We came out in the second half and our
shots were dropping,” Sommerville said.
“And the momentum shifted. We’re a very
good team when the game is close and we can
get some separation but we knew Mills isn’t a
good second half team so they basically put
all their energy in the first half.”

Baddeley wins at Riviera
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Finally a
winner again, Aaron Baddeley
raised his arms when his last putt
dropped into the cup Sunday in the
Northern Trust Open as his wife and
two young daughters came over to
share the moment.
They might have been among the
few cheering him on at Riviera.
Baddeley could hear chants of
“Freddie!” at every turn, and it got
even louder when Fred Couples
birdied the opening three holes to
take the lead. Unfazed, Baddeley
cared only about a victory that was
just as meaningful to him.
“I thought Freddie was going to
be tough today because winning is a
skill, and Freddie has been winning
quite often recently,” Baddeley said.
“When he got off to a good start, I
was like, ’Freddie looks like he’s
going to have one of those days
where he’s going to play great.’ I
was still just trying to focus on my
game, and try to do what I needed to
do.”
He did just enough.
In a battle of generations, the 29-
year-old Australian made his best
putt after his only big mistake and
closed with a 2-under 69 to hold off
Vijay Singh and Couples, and win
for the first time in four years.

trouble finding his ball. Couples
gave it a ferocious whack, and the
ball came out to the left and into a
bunker. He wound up making dou-
ble bogey, a three-shot swing when
Baddeley holed a 20-footer for
birdie from the fringe.
“I just didn’t feel the same after
that,” Couples said. “I didn’t really
hurt myself, but I never hit a shot,
and I just got it around. I mean, I
couldn’t hit an iron. I hit a few good
drives, but I was afraid to hit the
ground, hitting it that hard out of
that stuff. I did get off to a good
start, and that was where it ended.
“It’s nothing bad,” he said. “I’m
not having any excuse. It’s just after
that point, I never hit a shot.”
It was the third career PGA Tour
win for Baddeley, whose game had
slipped so much that he had plunged
to No. 224 in the world. This isn’t
enough to get back into the top 50,
but at least he can book a trip to
Augusta National in April for the
Masters.
Singh, who only three weeks ago
had fallen out of the top 100 in the
world for the first time in more than
21 years, had his highest finish
since he won the Deutsche Bank
Championship in 2008 on his way
to the FedEx Cup. Despite back-to-
back bogeys on the back nine, he
gave himself a chance to the very
end.
James had 29 points, 12
rebounds and 10 assists for the
East, but Miami teammate Dwyane
Wade limped off in the third quar-
ter. Wade finished with 14 points.
Bryant didn’t score in the final
6:48, falling short of Wilt
Chamberlain’s All-Star game
record of 42 points in 1962.
Bryant won the All-Star MVP

The rookie had been great throughout
Speedweeks, even proving his mettle by push-
ing four-time champion Jeff Gordon for most
of a qualifying race, a performance Bayne
said convinced the veterans he could be trust-
ed on the track.
“I figured they had a chance after seeing
that boy race in the 150s,” said Pearson, who
will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in May.
“I talked to him this morning. I told him to
keep his head straight and not to do anything
crazy. I told him to stay relaxed. I’m proud of
him.”
With the win Bayne breaks Gordon’s mark
as the youngest winner in Daytona 500 histo-
ry. Gordon was 25 when he won the 500 in
1997.
“I think it’s very cool. Trevor’s a good kid,
and I love the Wood Brothers,” Gordon said.

This was only the fourth win in the last 20

their 61-year-old existence when they failed to

Bayne this year for 17 races, on loaner from
Roush-Fenway Racing, the team that snatched
him up late last season when Michael Waltrip
Racing — which gave Bayne his start in 2009
— couldn’t promise a sponsor for this season.
So it was on to Roush, which plans for
Bayne to run for the Nationwide Series title
this season, and a deal was made to get him
some seat time in the Cup Series with the

n’t eligible to run for rookie of the year.
But the stunning Daytona 500 win — and

Posey prepares to build on Rookie of the Year
By Janie McCauley

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — A tele-

batting cage and waits his turn to
take some cuts.
No matter the camera. The reign-

Heading into his first full big

‘Unknown’wins box office
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Liam Neeson has
proven himself a known quantity again
at the box office.
Neeson’s thriller, “Unknown,”
debuted as the No. 1 movie with $21.8
million, following in the footsteps of his
2009 action hit “Taken,” according to
studio estimates Sunday.
Another action tale, “I Am Number
Four,” opened at No. 2 with $19.5 mil-
lion.
A Warner Bros. release, “Unknown”
stars Neeson as a botanist who awakens
from a coma to find his wife claims she
does not know him and that another man
has taken his identity.
DreamWorks’ “I Am Number Four”
stars Alex Pettyfer as a teenage alien
refugee on Earth who develops super-
powers to battle the evil invaders that
destroyed his planet. It was the first
DreamWorks movie released under the
company’s distribution deal with Disney.
While “I Am Number Four” held
youth appeal, “Unknown” was a rare
No. 1 film that did most of its business
among older crowds. According to
Top 10 movies
1.“Unknown,”$21.8 million.
2.“I Am Number Four,”$19.5 million.
3.“Gnomeo & Juliet,”$19.4 million.
4.“Just Go With It,”$18.2 million.
5.“Big Mommas:Like Father,Like
Son,”$17 million.
6.“Justin Bieber:Never Say Never,”
$13.6 million.
7.“The King’s Speech,”$6.6 million.
8.“The Roommate,”$4.1 million.
9.“The Eagle,”$3.6 million.
10.“No Strings Attached,”$3.1
million.
Warner, 54 percent of the movie’s audi-
ence was 50 and over and 89 percent was
25 and over.
The 58-year-old Neeson has had
action roles before but found unexpected
success as an all-out action hero with
“Taken,” a $100 million hit.
“He’s the new man. He’s stepped up to
the plate. Put him in the right role and
he’s every man’s action star,” said Dan
Fellman, head of distribution at Warner.
Two movies that opened the previous
weekend held the next two spots in the
DATEBOOK
top 10. Disney’s animated comedy,
“Gnomeo & Juliet,” was No. 3 with
$19.4 million, finishing so closely to “I
Am Number Four” that the two movies
could change rankings when studios
release final numbers Tuesday, after the
long President’s Day weekend.
“Gnomeo & Juliet” raised its total to
$50.4 million.
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston’s
romance “Just Go With It,” which had
been No. 1 the previous weekend, fell to
fourth place with $18.2 million. The
Sony release lifted its total to $60.8 mil-
lion.
The weekend’s other new wide
release, Martin Lawrence’s comedy,
“Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son,”
was No. 5 with $17 million. The 20th
Century Fox sequel has Lawrence
reprising his role as a federal agent who
goes undercover as a hefty woman to
crack a case.
Hollywood finally broke a long down-
turn in business during which revenues
were off 14 straight weekends compared
to last year’s.
This weekend, receipts totaled $144
million, up 7.7 percent compared to the

earn about and handle exotic pets. Visit our
wildlife hospital where staff may be treating
injured owls and hawks, and volunteers are
syringe-feeding orphaned baby birds. Meet a staff veteri-
narian and animal control officer and learn about their
training and daily work. Observe a morning inside our
spay/neuter clinic. Argue and deliberate a mock animal
court case. Practice basic dog training. Sound fun? You can
do all this and more at the Peninsula Humane Society &
SPCA during one special week this spring, April 4 to 8.
Here’s the “switch” to the “bait” listed above: you have to
be between one and two in dog years to participate. Just
for 2011, we’re offering a spring session of our Animal
Camp for local kids age 9 to 12. In past years, we’ve
offered sessions in the summer and they’ve booked up
faster than a Miley Cyrus concert. Sorry, that was the only
age-appropriate reference I could muster. I’m in touch with
1 to 3 years old and 40-somethings like me, but the
decades in between are a mystery. I do know this: Our
summer sessions are a hot ticket. Every year, we field calls
from disappointed moms and dads who have called too late
to register their daughters and sons. Avoid the rush and
give your kids a memorable, inspiring experience this
spring! Many campers have gone on to become shelter vol-
unteers and a few have even joined our staff years later.
Camp runs 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and costs $220, which is
probably less than most comparable day camps for bud-
ding sports stars, science buffs, drama enthusiasts and dare
I say, band geeks. Not so geeky when they form their own
bands later! Our enrollment is first-come, first-served and
limited to 16 participants. Campers bring their lunch and
we provide snacks. To learn more and apply, please call
340-7022 ext. 308 or visit www.phs-spca.org and check

HISTORY

clothespin where it was held in place by
the clothespin. When the clothespin was
open by squeezing it, the rubber band
became a lethal weapon and would
sting whoever it hit. Great fun! The big
boys could make “double” barreled rub-
ber guns. Stay away from them.
One of the most favorite activities
that evolved by man had a two-fold
purpose — cleansing and exercise.
People-watching was a bonus.
Swimming evolved early in man’s his-
tory when individuals or groups
engaged in washing oneself in pond, a
stream or river. It was a logical step in
evolution. After completing the washing
cycle, the boys standing around proba-
bly could not resist the temptation to
impress the females of the crowd by
large bodies of water or rivers were
available the sport became universal.
The organized, cement-lined, modern
pool came later in history and was for
the well-to-do society. The less well-to-
do communities that evolved at first had
to be content to use bodies of water —
swimming holes — that were natural
occurrences. Dress was not always
optional, especially for the boys. Girls
were always more modest and few girls
ever practiced this game in the nude.
Boys, on the other hand, welcomed the
exhibition of going into the water with-
out a stitch of clothing.
The D.O. Mill’s estate in
Burlingame/Millbrae had a perfect
swimming hole, although the caretakers
of the estate didn’t encourage swim-
ming in it. Tucked back in the hills of
this estate were three or four dams that
collected water used for watering the
vast trees, flowers and vegetation that

afternoons, the boys of Burlingame,
Millbrae and San Bruno (although it
was not restricted to only these cities)
would travel west on Millbrae Avenue,
sneak down onto the Mills estate, strip
off their clothes and enjoy a peaceful
swim in this isolated reservoir. The
reservoirs, however, were not as isolat-
ed as the boys thought they were. Many
of the young girls of the area knew of
the swimming hole. Many have related
to me that they would congregate on the
hill overlooking this area and indulge
themselves in a bit of boy watching.
This practice of swimming in the river
or quarry holes that filled with water
persisted well into the 20th century in
many communities.

GAME
Continued from page 1
tled in Woodside where they raise their
two children. Hymes went on to write a
couple of cookbooks and is always look-
ing for a project. This seemed like a per-
fect fit for a family project. And, as par-
ents, it created a fun learning activity.
“It’s like putting spinach in brownies,”
Hymes said with a smile, adding the
recipe really works.
The game challenges individuals to
travel around a board earning the letters
to spell synonyms. Landing on a letter
corresponds with the difficulty of the
minute to earn the letter by naming a
certain number of synonyms to the word
on the card.
Difficulty can be adjusted for younger
players like Milla, who may be chal-
lenged to one or two synonyms when the
family plays.
The concept and design of Synonyms
took about a year to develop. Creating
the word lists took some time. Each
word challenge includes about 20 possi-
ble answers on the back, some of which
are slang. If given leave, for example, a
player could say hit the road.
“It’s a game to stimulate your creativ-
ity. You want to be able to use words a
little differently,” said Gaffney.
In addition, knowing the synonyms of
it, he added.
While the game is designed for chil-
dren, the couple has found themselves
debating words when playing with
adults.
“It’s cleansing for the mind,” said
Hymes.
The game is currently available for
$29.99 on Amazon.com but soon should
be available in local stores. The family is
working on a junior version, which will
include a space where players win a free
letter simply by the luck of landing on it
— that was Alex’s suggestion. There
should also be a school version soon as
education is the couple’s main goal for
the game. It takes about an hour to play.

DOGS
Continued from page 1
Miller said.
But that did not work so Miller is
seeking to amend Foster City
Municipal Code to strengthen the
city’s off-leash dog rules.
If the Foster City Council approves
the amendment at its next meeting,
violators of the rule could face a civil
fine up to $100. Police would be able
to cite offenders with a civil misde-
meanor only if the officer personally
witnessed the offense.
The rule would also apply to
Catamaran, Farragut, Edgewater,
Boothbay and Sea Cloud parks from 5
a.m. to 8 a.m. on weekdays and 5 a.m.
“The same rules will now apply to
other off-leash areas,” Miller said. “It
is about control and capacity.”
The limit is based on the belief that
no person can effectively control and
supervise more than three dogs at one
time, according to a staff report.
If a citation is issued by police, it
would be forwarded to the city attor-
ney who would make an independent
determination, case by case, on how
best to proceed. Sometimes the
offender is just sent a letter asking
them to cease the activity, other times
the city may pursue a civil fine, usual-
ly less that $100, according to the
staff report.

Monday, Feb. 21, 2011
Although certain commercial prospects may look quite inter-
esting and encouraging for you in the year ahead, be careful
about getting involved with friends, especially if it involves
financial matters. You may do better with strangers.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be careful in whom you
place your trust, before putting too much stock in what is told
to you, especially if it is about a commercial matter. You could
end up on the short end of things.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you find yourself involved
in a joint endeavor, be sure each person knows what the
assignment is and what part s/he plays. Things could go awry
without definite ground rules.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Make sure your actions don’t
unnecessarily irritate your co-workers. If you do anything to
anger them, you can take bets they’ll try to even the score in
some manner.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you’re smart, you’ll avoid
all types of speculative involvement right now. Lady Luck isn’t
likely to be found today, and you’ll not be able to have good
fortune without her help.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Do not carry any disagree-
ments between you and your mate outside the confines of
your home. Not only would airing them in public make you
look bad but it would embarrass your listeners as well.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Wait until another time to accom-
plish any job that requires the assistance of others. Trying to
do something on your own could cause a needless mishap.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone you’ve been avoid-
ing might penetrate your defenses when you’re not looking.
Deal with this person graciously but keep to yourself what-
ever it is that s/he wants from you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be tolerant if certain disturb-
ing outside influences prevent you from doing what you had
intended. Flow with events instead of bucking the odds.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Instead of rushing to get
things done, make haste slowly. Unless your involvements
are clearly defined, you could paint yourself into a corner with
no way out.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t feel compelled
to go along with the gang if they’re planning to do something
you clearly can’t afford. Even if you keep your costs down,
they could decide to split the huge bill equally.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you try to do some-
thing out of spite to get even with a past offender, there are
strong indications that you’ll end up stinging yourself more
than you do your adversary.
Previous
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Before putting too much
stock in some confidential information that comes to you, Sudoku
check it out. Cross-reference the facts with other sources,
because it could be all talk. answers

EU ministers call for end to Libya bloodshed

BY SLOBODAN LEKIC
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS — The European

Union on Sunday denounced strong-
ly the Libyan governments’ bloody
crackdown against pro-democracy
protesters and urged an end to the
violence in which over 170 people
are reported to have died.
“We condemn the repression
against peaceful demonstrators and
deplore the violence and the death of
civilians,” said a statement issued
after a meeting of European foreign
ministers.
“The EU urges the authorities to
exercise restraint and calm and to
immediately refrain from further use
of violence against peaceful demon-
strators,” the ministers said, adding
that “the legitimate aspirations and
demands of the people for reform”
must be addressed through dialogue.
The crackdown in oil-rich Libya is
shaping up to be the most brutal
repression of anti-government

Gadhafi’s son warns
of civil war in Libya
By Sarah El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO — After anti-government
unrest spread to the Libyan capital
and protesters seized military bases
and weapons Sunday, Moammar
Gadhafi’s son went on state television
to proclaim that his father remained
in charge with the army’s backing
and would “fight until the last man,
the last woman, the last bullet.”
Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, in the
regime’s first comments on the six
days of demonstrations, warned
the protesters that they risked ignit-
ing a civil war in which Libya’s oil
wealth “will be burned.”
The speech followed a fierce
crackdown by security forces who
fired on thousands of demonstra-
tors and funeral marchers in the
eastern city of Benghazi in a
bloody cycle of violence that killed
60 people on Sunday alone,
according to a doctor in one city
hospital. Since the six days of
unrest began, more than 200 peo-
ple have been killed, according to
medical officials, human rights
groups and exiled dissidents.
Lybia’s response has been the
harshest of any Arab country that
has been wracked by the protests
that toppled long-serving leaders in
neighboring Tunisia and Egypt.
But Gadhafi’s son said his father
would prevail.

Israel eyes Suez trip of Iran warships with worry
Your Local Newspaper Supporting
The Community
CAIRO — Iran’s first attempt in decades to send warships
through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean on Europe’s —
and NATO’s — southern flank could further destabilize the
Middle East, a region already reeling from an unprecedented
wave of anti-government rebellions.
Egypt’s new military rulers, who took power from ousted
Hosni Mubarak a little more than a week ago, have granted two
Iranian warships passage through the strategic waterway —
something Israel has made clear it views as a provocation. Still,
Egypt appeared to have no other choice because an interna-
tional convention regulating shipping says the canal must be As your local San Mateo County newspaper it is important to the Daily Journal to be involved

since 1979. The vessels bound for Syria are not expected to
enter the canal before Tuesday or Wednesday, according to
maritime sources in Egypt. On Sunday, the frigate Alvand and
the supply ship Kharq were still near the southern entrance to
the canal.
