Rare western gray
whale tracked off Canada
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A highly
endangered whale that spends summers
off Russia has moved into water off
British Columbia after crossing the
Bering Sea and passing the Aleutian
Islands.
The 13-year-old, male western Pacific
gray whale dubbed Flex is being tracked
by U.S. and Russian researchers.
Its last location was logged Thursday
about 400 miles off the coast of British
Columbia, said Bruce Mate, director of
Oregon State University’s Marine
Mammal Institute.
Mate said it was possible the whale’s
terms of swell, but it’s nothing like what
was out in the southeast Bering Sea. We
may be coming to an end of this, but it’s
a little early to say.”
Western Pacific gray whales are the
second-most threatened species of large
whales after North Pacific right whales.
Only 130 of the gray whales remain.
In contrast, there are about 18,000
eastern Pacific gray whales. Those
whales breed and give birth in warm
water, mostly along Baja California, and
migrate north to spend summers on
feeding grounds in Alaska’s Bering,
Chukchi and Beaufort seas.
Western Pacific gray whales spend
summers near Sahkalin Island at the
south end of the Sea of Okhotsk near
Russia. Little is known of their winter
habits. North America waters were not
high on lists of suspected winter sites.
Last year, researchers from Oregon
State and the A.N. Severtsov Institute of
Ecology and Evolution of the Russian
Academy of Sciences had hoped to tag
12 western Pacific gray whales but were
limited by typhoons and gales to one on
the last day of field work.

PHS placed 100 percent of shelter animals
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
For the eighth year in a row, all adoptable
dogs and cats in the Peninsula’s animal shel-
ter were found new homes, according to a
year-end report that also noted an increase in
the number of creatures seeking new owners.
The Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA
placed 3,739 animals into new homes during
2010. Of those, 1,878 were cats, 1,199 were
dogs and 154 were rabbits. Birds (138),
guinea pigs (104) and reptiles like snakes,
turtles and iguanas (102) made up the rest.
While the shelter hit the 100 percent adop-
tion rate for an eighth year, it also saw a 7
percent increase in dogs, cats and domestic
animals surrendered by owners no longer
willing or able to care for them. Last year,
3,162 animals were given up compared to
2,955 in 2009.
Shelter officials believe the jump is linked
to ongoing economic circumstances.
Wrapping up the year, shelter staff also
found the following:
• A total of 7,674 spay/neuter surgeries per-
formed at the shelter’s low-cost and mobile
clinics;
• The shelter saved 6,572 animals, includ-
ing domestic animals placed in homes, stray
domestic animals reunited with owners and
wild animals returned to their natural habi-
tats;
• Three classes of dogs graduated from the

Monster storm takes aim at U.S.
By Alan Scher Zagier
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — A monster winter
storm took aim at a third of the nation
Monday, threatening to lay a potentially dead-
ly path of heavy snow and ice from the
Rockies to New England, followed by a wave
of bitter, bone-rattling cold that could affect
tens of millions of people.
Cities including St. Louis, Kansas City and
Milwaukee could be hardest hit, with expect-
ed midweek snowfalls of up to 2 feet and
drifts piled 5 to 10 feet. Even hardy Chicago
could be in for its third-worst blizzard since
record-keeping began.
“I wouldn’t want to be on the road in open
areas tomorrow night,“ said forecaster Tom
Skilling of Chicago television station WGN.
”I don’t think I’d want to be driving in the city
either. The fact is people die in these things.
They skid off the road and go wandering
around in whiteout conditions.“
Warmer areas were not safe, either. The sys-
tem could spawn tornadoes in parts of the
South.
While record snowfalls have pounded the
Northeast in one of that region’s most brutal
winters, the Midwest has been comparatively
unscathed, until now.
At Edele and Mertz Hardware just a few
blocks from the Anheuser-Busch brewery in
St. Louis, customers lined up by 7 a.m.
Monday waiting for the store to open. Snow
shovels, ice melt and salt were all big sellers.
“‘Freaking out’ is a great way of putting it,”
employee Steve Edele said. “The icing —
that’s what scares people.”
As the first flakes fell, transportation offi-
cials readied street-clearing equipment, and
some airlines encouraged travelers to rebook
trips leaving from Chicago. Airlines canceled
thousands of flights ahead of the snow, and
legislatures in several states decided to shut
down altogether Tuesday or cancel committee
meetings
LOCAL/STATE/NATION
Commuters are seen crossing Broadway in Midtown Manhattan in New York.
The National Weather Service suggested
any Green Bay Packers fans planning to drive
from Wisconsin to Dallas for the Super Bowl
avoid leaving before Wednesday afternoon,
when authorities hope to have cleaned up the
worst of the mess along the route.
A blizzard watch was in effect for Tuesday
and Wednesday for southern Wisconsin,
northern Illinois and northwest Indiana.
Winds could reach up to 60 mph in open areas
and near Lake Michigan.
In St. Louis and much of Missouri, residents
braced for a particularly hazardous mix: up to
an inch of ice, followed by 3 to 4 inches of
sleet, then perhaps a half-foot of snow or
more. To the west in Columbia, Mo., forecast-
ers predicted between 12 inches and 16 inch-
es of snow, prompting the University of
REUTERS
Missouri to cancel classes through Tuesday
night.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of
emergency and activated 600 members of the
National Guard.
In Chicago, forecasters predicted 20 inches
of snow. If that holds true, it would be the
city’s third-biggest snowstorm, overshadowed
only by the 21.6 inches in 1999 and the moth-
er of all Chicago snowstorms, the 23 inches of
snow that fell in 1967.
Forty-three winter storms have produced 10
inches or more in Chicago since record-keep-
ing began in 1886.
Paula Lawson, a 59-year-old community
organizer from suburban Glencoe, said she
remembered the big storm in 1967, which
“really did stop the world for days.”

Two employees killed
at Fisherman’s Wharf store
SAN FRANCISCO — A deadly shooting
inside a souvenir shop at San Francisco’s
famous Fisherman’s Wharf likely stemmed
from a business dispute involving another
store, police said Monday.
Hong Ri Wu, 56, was arrested for investiga-
tion of murder after two store employees were
killed Sunday night, investigators said.
The coroner’s office identified the slain man
as Qiong Han Chu and the woman as Feng
Ping Ou, both 30.
The suspect worked at a nearby souvenir
shop, and police believe an ongoing business
dispute was to blame for the violence, police
spokesman Lt. Troy Dangerfield said. He
declined to elaborate.
“He’s a very kind man, actually,” Ted Kim,
owner of another nearby store, said of the sus-
pect. Still, Kim said Wu had seemed tired and
out-of-sorts lately.
Neighboring merchants said competition
can get heated among the businesses at the
famed tourist attraction where some shops
have been accused of selling counterfeit
goods.
Eight souvenir shops were raided by feder-
al authorities last year, and 200,000 knock-off
items worth more than $100 million were
seized.
Police give all-clear at Oakland
school after reports of a gunman
OAKLAND — Police swarmed an Oakland
elementary school for several hours Monday
after receiving an anonymous tip about a
reported gunman, but found no evidence of
any criminal activity, officials said.
Authorities gave the all-clear around 4:30
p.m. after safely evacuating all of the students,
faculty and staff at La Escuelita Elementary
School, said Oakland Unified School District
Police Chief Pete Sarna.
The school had been on lockdown for near-
ly four hours after the district received a
phone call from an anonymous man saying
someone had entered the school armed with a
rifle.

Future of Oakland police chief up in the air

By Jeff Shuttleworth
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Oakland Police Chief Anthony Batts will
decide by the end of the week whether he will
remain chief, the city’s top cop said Monday.
Batts, who has only been the police chief in
Oakland for 15 months, applied in October to
become police chief in San Jose but
announced on Thursday that San Jose officials
have recommended that that Chris Moore,
who has been acting chief since Rob Davis
retired, be hired.
Batts, 50, said on Thursday that he has not
yet made a final decision about staying in
Oakland.
“It still needs to be determined if I am a fit
for the city of Oakland’s vision for the future,”
he said then.
He also said he was concerned about the
“support and resources” being provided to the
Oakland Police Department, but Quan joined
him at City Hall today to
talk to reporters.
“I apologize if I stepped
on anyone’s toes with my
comment, but part of lead-
ership is being coura-
geous, and you have to say
some tough things,” he
said. “The mayor has
Anthony Batts taken an aggressive stance
on the things I brought
up,” that need to be improved, he added.
Quan announced that one step she’s taking
is bringing back 10 of the 80 police officers
the city laid off last year to help balance its
budget.
However, that will still leave Oakland with
only 666 officers, which is well below the
peak level of 830 officers it had in 2008. It’s
also a far cry from the 1,200 officers recom-
mended by the Alameda County Grand Jury in
its most recent report.
Batts told reporters that he would like to
have even more officers, but adding 10 “is
going in the right direction,” he said, explain-
ing that additional officers “are very-much
needed on the streets of Oakland.”
Batts said his fate in Oakland would depend
in large part on conversations he has this week
with Quan and City Council members.
Apparently in reference to complaints by
Quan and other city leaders that Batts hadn’t
told them about applying for the job in San
Jose, Batts told reporters after the news con-
ference that “a lot of things were said that
were mean-spirited, and my credibility and
integrity were called upon.”
He also said he’s considering his family

Feds probe ‘sham
university’ for visa fraud
SAN FRANCISCO — The government of
India is condemning the use of ankle monitors
on Indian students who were enrolled at a
“sham university” in California that authori-
ties say was a front for illegal immigration.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office alleges that the
owner of Tri-Valley University in Pleasanton
used the school to help foreigners illegally
obtain visas that allow them to stay in the
United States.
There were 1,555 students enrolled at Tri-
Valley this past fall and about 95 percent of
them were from India, according to a com-
plaint filed on Jan. 19 in U.S. District Court in
San Francisco.
Many of those students could be deported if
they are found to be in violation of their immi-
gration status.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
• Senators Dianne Feinstein and
Barbara Boxer introduced a bill to
strengthen pipeline oversight and
increase penalties when federal
pipeline regulations are violated.
The Strengthening Pipeline Safety
and Enforcement Act of 2011, simi-

lic safety in the wake of the deadly pipeline blast last year in
San Bruno. The bill also would enforce recommendations
from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)
released in early January.

Hearing set in shooting of pregnant woman
The teen accused of shooting a pregnant woman and two
bystanders after a confrontation with her family outside a
Daly City theater will learn in April if he’ll stand trial on
attempted murder and gun charges.
Andrew Lovell Covarrubias, 18, has pleaded not guilty to
three counts of attempted murder and recklessly discharging
a firearm. A preliminary hearing April 20 will determine if
the evidence is sufficient to move forward.
Prosecutors say Covarrubias shot three people Oct. 29,
including a 19-year-old pregnant woman who required an
emergency Caesarean section to save the distressed fetus. A
16-year-old boy was struck in the leg and a 17-year-old boy
was hit in the buttocks during the melee.
Authorities say the shooting stemmed from Covarrubias
bumping into the woman at approximately 10:40 p.m. Oct.
29 while walking by her at Pacific Plaza. The woman’s fam-
ily and Covarrubias reportedly began yelling at each other
because he did not excuse himself. At one point,
Covarrubias pulled a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun and
fired once in the air before shooting between four and seven
times at the group.
Covarrubias fled the scene but was found in San
Francisco the following Tuesday and arrested after a foot
chase.
Covarrubias told police “they started it,” according to
prosecutors.
He remains in custody on no-bail status.

Report: Immigration law not enforced consistently
By Kate Brumback
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Some local law enforcement
agencies, particularly in the Southeast, are
turning over illegal immigrants who commit
even minor offenses to federal authorities for
deportation, while others are focused on
deporting more violent criminals, according
to a report released Monday.
The report by the Migration Policy Institute,
a Washington-based nonpartisan think tank,
said conflicting messages from the U.S. gov-
ernment and local political pressure may
account for the discrepancy.
The study, which examined a program that
allows participating local agencies to enforce
federal immigration law, found that several
agencies in the Southeast were turning over
every illegal immigrant taken into custody. An
influx of immigrants in the generally conser-
vative region has heightened political tension,
the report said. North Carolina, Georgia,
Tennessee and South Carolina were in the top
six in terms of growth rates of foreign-born
populations from 1990 to 2009.

graphic change,” the report said.
The study focused on the 287(g) program
— named for the section of federal law gov-
erning it — overseen by U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement. The U.S. Homeland
Security Department, which includes ICE, in
2009 wrote new contracts for the local-feder-
al partnerships and issued new guidelines
telling local officers to focus primarily on ille-
gal immigrants charged with crimes like rape,
murder, robbery or drug offenses.
But top U.S. government officials — who
have said the program that is in place in 71
jurisdictions nationwide can also be useful for
deporting illegal immigrants when resources
allow — offer a conflicting message, the
report said.
ICE spokeswoman Gillian Brigham said in
an e-mail that the study affirmed the way ICE
enforces immigration law, but that it underes-
timated the value of deporting people accused
of drunken driving, domestic violence and
Lawmakers said the use of diesel fuel by

ination in the United States.
“I cannot imagine, as an American,
being told I could not live in certain
places in America because I was
Christian, or because I was white, or
because I spoke English,” he said.
Huckabee dismissed the notion
that Jewish settlements on land the

“We are a big city. We don’t need

pay her accordingly.”
San Mateo’s deficit is about $5.4
million for the upcoming 2011-12
fiscal budget, after already realizing
more than $2.5 million in depart-
ment cost savings. To trim the
deficit, the city will not fund some
capital projects to save $2.6 million
and negotiate cost savings with its
employees for another $2.6 million
in savings.
San Mateo’s general fund revenue
is projected to increase by an aver-
age of just 2.5 percent annually over
the next eight years, below the 5

Most of the international communi-

The Peninsula’s ‘Sputnik moment’
By Rosanne Foust
T
here’s been a recent revival of the
idiom “a Sputnik moment” thanks
to President Barack Obama’s usage
in his State of the Union speech last week.
The broad definition of this moment is a
point in time where people realize that they
are threatened or challenged and have to
redouble their efforts to catch up. It comes
from the time when the Soviet Union
launched the first satellite, the Sputnik 1,
and beat the United States of America into
space.
Here in the Bay Area, we’re having our
own Sputnik moment on the California
high-speed rail project. Since the authority
board voted in December to begin con-
struction of the system connecting Los
Angeles to the Bay Area in the Central
Valley, we’ve seen the departure of the lead
engineer for the Peninsula Rail Program,
the release date of the draft environmental
impact report delayed and stood on the
sidelines watching commitments of state
and federal funds head to Los Angeles and
the Central Valley. In short, we’re getting
beat.
If the Bay Area is to maintain its eco-
nomic standing in a globally competitive
world, we must regroup. To build a
statewide system of high-speed rail con-
necting major metropolitan cities in
California will require our region to redou-
ble its efforts to earn the continued support
of local, state and federal decision-makers
and elected officials and the public at
large.
The San Francisco to San Jose corridor
encompassing the Peninsula has its roots in
railroad history. Yesterday’s locomotive has
evolved into an unmatched opportunity to

Fund highways — not Caltrain
Editor,
Caltrain’s yearly ridership report show that
during the weekday about 8,500 unique peo-

bring American its first
high-speed rail system to
the region. We know that
Northern California will
grow by 6 million people
between now and 2035
and how we grow will
determine our quality of
life and economic pros-
perity.
High-speed rail and the much needed
electrification of Caltrain will improve the
region by providing needed good jobs at
good wages. In fact, it is estimated that the
high-speed train system will generate
600,000 construction-related jobs over the
life of the project.
The benefits of high-speed rail on our
environment and air quality, decreasing
traffic and congestion, energy independ-
ence and economic recovery and prosperity
are significant.
The rapid pace of change and innovation
locally, regionally, nationally and globally
demands that the San Mateo County
Economic Development Association
(SAMCEDA) and other business affilia-
tions along with organized labor and envi-
ronmental groups meet this challenge head
on providing the resources and ideas, as
well as solutions to move this project for-
ward on the Peninsula.
The authority needs to finish and release
the draft environmental impact report on
the San Francisco to San Jose corridor.
However, it must first use the extra time to
examine more closely trenching and other
alternatives important to communities
along the route, including the planning,
design and construction of improvements
to Caltrain on the corridor that will accom-
modate and serve both the near-term and
long-term needs of the authority and
20,000 unique people a day.
Our Bay Area highway system, on the
other hand, provides perhaps half-million
(estimated) “trips” for vehicles of all kinds
for the 6.5 million residents, and who knows
how many travelers who pass through the
Bay Area on a daily basis. There is no one in
the Bay Area who is not dependent on the
goods that are delivered, and the services that
are facilitated, on Highway 101 and
Interstate 280. Caltrain, on the other hand,
outside of transporting this small segment of
our population, does not enable our general
economy, as these two highways do.
Caltrain needs to be terminated, and any/all
public dollars intended for its future
improvement redirected to our very neglect-
ed, and very useful, highway system.

We can work more diligently toward the

forge a path for California’s future. The
authority needs to continue to engage the
public to craft a vision for our corridor.
The Bay Area is the heart of innovation

Free speech debate
Editor,
This letter is in regards to Michelle
Durand’s comments in her column “Planned
Parenthood is not the problem” in the Jan. 24
edition of the Daily Journal on a proposed
Planned Parenthood clinic in Redwood City.
She states that pro-life protesters should be
“told to not show up at all” except “the only
glitch is the law provides for free speech.”
Protected free speech, the cornerstone of our
democracy and that which separates us from
totalitarian government is a “glitch” so she
can “sing along with the radio and not be
confronted by opinionated folks?” Ms.
Durand certainly succeeded in rendering me
speechless.

In the bag
B
agging groceries is no easy task. It
might seem simple enough — open
bag, shove in items, put in cart, repeat.
It may even seem that, despite the simplicity,
some baggers can’t seem to understand the
basic concept not to put the canned goods on
top of the eggs and bread loaves.
Any dummy can do it, right? Wrong.
Or, at least this dummy learned it takes a lit-
tle more skill that filling the bag to the brim and
starting over.
There’s the double bagging to consider for
particularly weighty
jars of pickles and
olives. And the ability
to eyeball the stack of
cereal boxes to know
exactly how many can
stretch into a plastic
bag before breaking
through. Then there is
the unresolved debate
between generating
more, lighter bags or
fewer, heavier pack-
ages. Did I mention
this must be done fairly quickly to prevent a
grocery backlog, much like that I Love Lucy
episode with the chocolate candy piling up on
the conveyor belt?
This hard lesson was imprinted over the
weekend out of town at one of those grocery
store chains where there are no baggers, proba-
bly one of the myriad reasons why the cost of
lettuce and Cheerios is dramatically lower than
that at other outlets.
As a side note, who knew produce could be
so cheap? Who knew decent salad dressing did-
n’t have to break the bank? Granted, this was
the type of store where shoppers can buy gra-
nola, spices, candy — even dog food — in bulk
amounts by them pouring out of large plastic
containers and weighing them on adjacent
scales. Not the type of place to fawn over juicy,
perfect heirloom tomatoes and exotic vegeta-
bles only called for in the recipes of Food and
Wine or Bon Appetit. Yet, the prices!
Obviously, these cut-rate price tags were old hat
to the other customers or else they, too, would
be gawking at the rows of food like someone
who had never before seen the mass quantities
available in a typical American store.
What also isn’t seen at this store is a desig-
nated bagger, which brings me back to my con-
tention that bagging is no picnic — especially
when all the components of said picnic have
been rung up and awaiting transport.
Bagging might get a little hairier in Daly
City, too, if Councilman David Canepa success-
fully pushes through a ban on the use of plastic
totes in all grocery stores, clothing shops or
retailers with more than 10,000 square feet.
Customers then would be left with the option of
buying paper bags for a dime each, whip out
their reusable earth-friendly bags or just chuck
everything loose in the basket.
This last option is the one I usually take
when stuck in the rare anti-bag situation, name-
ly a trip to IKEA. Having left my several
reusable bags somewhere in my kitchen pantry
and rather than purchase plastic bags, packages
of tea candles and unassembled furniture with
unpronounceable Swedish names are put back
in the basket after scanning. I imagine the same
will happen in the face of a plastic bag ban,
although several cans of soup lurching around
the trunk and smashing into the leafy greens
will undoubtedly be a greater hazard than one
or two large Ikea must-haves.
Perhaps a bag ban — the first in the county
— will finally push me to keep the reusable
bags handy in the car. Or, perhaps it will force
editing the grocery list to only the items that
can fit in two arms.
With numerous cities and counties in
California also opting to limit plastic bag avail-
ability, perhaps Canepa’s suggestion is one to
check out. Of course, changing the behavior of
obstinate customers like me is not an easy task.
We may not be able to properly bag groceries,
but we really don’t enjoy somebody else decid-
ing in what to put them.
When it comes to success in outlawing the
use, Canepa’s idea and similar bans are never,
dare I say, in the bag.

Stocks push higher
By Chip Cutter
and David K. Randall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Energy stocks led
indexes higher Monday, the first day of
trading since the growing unrest in
Egypt caused the largest one-day drop in
the broad stock market in more than
three months.
Exxon Mobil Corp. gained 2.1 percent
after it reported its most profitable quar-
ter since 2008. Massey Energy Co.
jumped 9.8 percent after Alpha Natural
Resources Inc. said that it would buy the
coal producer in a $7.1 billion deal.
Alpha Natural Resources fell 7.2 per-
cent.
The Massey deal suggests “maybe
coal isn’t dead,” said Kim Caughey
Forrest, equity research analyst at Fort
Pitt Capital Group. It also raises hopes
for similar deals in the future, she said.
Concerns remained over Egypt’s
impact on oil prices. The country is not a
major producer of oil, but it plays a key
role in the industry because it controls
the Suez Canal, a major route for oil
tankers and cargo ships. Crude oil prices
rose 3 percent to $92.19 a barrel.
“The market wants to work its way
higher,” said Sam Stovall, chief invest-
ment strategist of Standard & Poor’s.
Watchdog: Pricing needs to be clearer
By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — No tricks. Less
fine print. Clearer agreements.
That’s how banks should market prod-
ucts to consumers, says Elizabeth
Warren, the Harvard law professor in
charge of setting up a new federal
agency that will police credit cards,
mortgages and other financial services.
The Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau was created as part of the sweep-
ing overhaul of financial regulations last
year known as the Dodd-Frank Act.
Proponents said such an agency could
have sounded an early warning for the
abusive lending practices that precipitat-
ed the economic meltdown.
It’s not clear when a permanent head
will be named to lead the new agency.
Warren, a vocal consumer advocate who
first championed the creation of the
agency, is a possibility but is regarded as
a contentious choice. President Obama
did not need Senate confirmation when
he named her in September as a special
Intel finds chip error, but
raising revenue outlook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Intel Corp. on
Monday said it has found a design flaw
in a recently released chip, and is work-
ing with laptop makers to replace affect-
ed computers.
Sales lost while the company rushes
out a replacement chip, and the cost of
replacing computers with the flawed
chip, will cost the company $1 billion, it
said.
Intel said it’s shipped 8 million of the
defective chips, but complete PCs with
those chips have only been on sale since
Jan. 9, so “relatively few” of them have
reached consumers. The main processing
chips in these computers are branded
“Core i5” and “Core i7.”
The affected chips aren’t the main
processors, which are based on the so-
called “Sandy Bridge” technology that
Intel announced in January, but a support
chip. The flaw means it may degrade
with use over a period of months or
Wall Street
“The big worry is the unknown — the
cascading effects that could occur.”
The Dow Jones industrial average
gained 68 points, or 0.6 percent, to close
at 11,891.93. The broader Standard and
Poor’s 500 index rose 10, or 0.8 percent,
to 1,286.12. The Nasdaq composite
index gained 13, or 0.5 percent, to
2,700.08.
Nine of the 10 company groups that
make up the S&P index rose. Energy
companies gained 2.6 percent, the most
of any group.
Bond prices fell slightly, sending their
yields higher. The yield on the bench-
mark 10-year Treasury note rose to 3.38
percent from 3.33 percent late Friday.
Bond prices rose Friday because
investors sought less risky assets.
Stronger economic data in the U.S.
also helped push stocks higher. The
Commerce Department reported that
consumers increased their spending in
December by more than analysts had
predicted. Spending for all of 2010 rose
by the largest amount in three years.

adviser to help oversee the creation of
the agency.
The CFPB won’t be able to exercise
its rule-making powers until July 21. In
the meantime, Warren has been making
key appointments and meeting with
banking executives and consumer
groups to get the agency up and running.
In an interview with the Associated
Press, Warren said one of the first goals
will be to make the true cost of financial
products easier to understand. She said
that should eventually drive down prices
for consumers.
Here is an excerpt:
Q: You’ve said improving the disclo-
sure of credit card terms is going to be a
top priority. How is the CFPB going to
change what’s provided to consumers?
A: Think about how long a credit card
agreement has become — it’s become
pages and pages and pages of largely
incomprehensible fine print. In effect,
it’s paperwork that says “Don’t read
me,” and that’s a real problem. Because
hiding in that fine print can be any-
thing.
years, slowing down the transfer of data
to and from the computer’s hard drives
and DVD drives.
Intel said consumers can “continue to
use their systems with confidence, while
working with their computer manufac-
turer for a permanent solution.”
Intel shares slid 25 cents to $21.21 in
early afternoon trading.
The Santa Clara company said it has
already started making a new version of
the support chip, and hopes to start deliv-
ering it to PC makers in late February.
While they wait for the new chip, pro-
duction of computers using Intel’s
“Sandy Bridge” chips will be on hold.
The delay will reduce revenue by
about $300 million in the first quarter,
Intel said. It put the repair and replace-
ment cost at $700 million.
Despite the setback, Intel raised its
overall revenue outlook for the first quar-
ter because of the recent acquisition of
the phone-chip business of Infineon
Technologies AG.

So one of the things we want to push
toward is trying to clear out that kind of
shrubbery. So that if there are real
changes that a company is proposing,
they stand out. They’re not camouflaged
by all those other words.
Q: And what’s the timetable for when
consumers can expect to see such
changes?
A: Well, it’s interesting. I think people
are starting to see somewhat clearer dis-
closures. For example, there are a couple
of major credit card issuers who — fol-
lowing our early conversations last fall
— went back and voluntarily rewrote
their own credit agreements and began
to shrink them down. There have been
others who’ve advertised their credit
products along the lines of “No Tricks,”
“Less Fine Print,” “Clearer
Agreements.”
This agency, even before it has its full
legal authority, has driven a conversation
and driven a direction for the industry.
And it’s toward a better informed cus-
tomer who can make apples-to-apples
comparisons among products.
Earnings preview
EA seen meeting 3Q expectations
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Wedbush Morgan analyst
Michael Pachter said that based on research firm NPD’s
figures, EA’s third-quarter sales were down 22 percent
due to “sagging” music sales, the cancellation of “NBA
Elite 11” as well as difficult comparisons with last year’s
strong debuts of “Left for Dead 2”and “Dragon Age:Ori-
gins.”But he thinks international sales of games such as
“FIFA Soccer 11,”“Medal of Honor,”“Need for Speed:Hot
Pursuit”were strong.
“We also think digital sales were up significantly year-
over-year,driven by the addition of PlayFish and Chillingo,
and by a phenomenally successful iPhone game sale in
December,”Pachter wrote in a note to investors,adding
that he thinks revenue will be at the low end of the com-
pany’s guidance range,but earnings per share will be at
the high end.
Mike Hickey of Janco Partners expects the quarter’s results
to be at the high end of EA’s guidance range.
WHY IT MATTERS: EA is one of the world’s largest video
game publishers. Its games, such as “The Sims,”and the
“Madden”football series,are played by a broad range of
customers, and recently the company has been ramp-
ing up focus on games played on mobile phones and
on social networks such as Facebook.
WHAT’S EXPECTED: Analysts polled by Factset are ex-
pecting earnings, excluding items and stock options
expenses, of 58 cents per share on revenue of $1.4 bil-
lion.
The company said in November it expects a net loss of
70 cents to 85 cents per share, or adjusted earnings of
50 cents to 60 cents per share.It forecast adjusted revenue
of $1.38 billion to $1.5 billion.
LAST YEAR’S QUARTER: EA lost $82 million,or 20 cents
per share, on a 25 percent decline in revenue to $1.24
billion.
Accounting for deferred revenue in games with online
components, EA earned 33 cents per share on revenue
of $1.35 billion.

Wintry blast too early to affect Super Bowl

By Schuyler Dixon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Packers fans and
Steelers supporters should feel right
at home if a wintry blast winds up
sending wind chill readings below
zero during Super Bowl week in
Texas.
A storm is expected to dump more
than a foot of snow on parts of the
Midwest and bring freezing rain and
bone-chilling cold to parts of Texas
on Tuesday and Wednesday. There’s
a chance of light snow off and on
this week in the Dallas area, which
is hosting Sunday’s Super Bowl
between Green Bay and Pittsburgh.
Game day? Not so bad. The fore-
cast calls for highs in the low 50s.
“If there’s a silver lining, that
might be it,” said Tim Smith, a
spokesman for American Airlines,
primary tenant at Dallas-Fort Worth
International Airport, one of the
nation’s busiest.
The National Weather Service
advised Wisconsin travelers bound
for Texas to wait until Wednesday
evening, with up to 20 inches of
snow forecast for the Milwaukee
area.
One Packers fan actually moved
up his departure. John O’Neill,
known as St. Vince because he
wears a green bishop’s outfit and a
mitre with Vince Lombardi’s face
on it to home games, was driving to
Dallas this week because of the
weather warnings.
“If you’re going to make the jour-
ney the worst thing you can do is
shortchange yourself,” said O’Neill,
58.
Don Zuidmulder of Green Bay
said he wasn’t worried about weath-
er affecting his flight Thursday.

Testa torching opponents
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Where would the Carlmont boys basketball
team be without James Testa?
There isn’t another person who knows more
about the Scots basketball team than coach Dave
Low and he seems to think the answer is very
simple.
“Let me put it this way, without James Testa
we would have probably been in the Lake
Division. And that’s no joke. He is a MVP-type
player, not just on our team. We would not be
competing at all in the Ocean Division (without
him).”
Low might be right — Testa has meant so
much more to the Scots this season than his 22
points per game through six league contests. His
presence on the court has made the other Scots
better and it’s for that reason Carlmont sits at 5-
1, tied with Jefferson atop the Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division.
“When you add the fact that he’s kind of a
marked man: in a sense that he is our number
one scorer, number one player, teams are run-
ning two guys at him, and yet he’s still able to
score that many points (is remarkable).”
Remarkable is definitely appropriate for the
senior who’s in his second season at Carlmont
after transferring from Terra Nova following his
sophomore year. In 2011, Testa has owned the
PAL Ocean knocking down 19, 25, 26 and 20
points respectively in the first four games.
Last week, in a game against Hillsdale, Testa
scored 22 points, 18 of which came in the sec-
ond half. He also pulled down seven rebounds
and collected four assists. He followed that pearl
of game with a 21-point, 11-rebound, seven-
assist performance in the rematch against the
Tigers. In both those games, Carlmont emerged
victorious.
For his efforts, Testa is the Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
“Here’s a guy who, maybe a year go, his focus
was on scoring,” Low said. “Always scoring and
nothing else. I think this year he’s developed
into more of a complete player. That would be
the most impressive part. He draws so much
attention to him, it makes all the other kids bet-
ter, so there’s less pressure on them.”
“I think I’ve matured more as a player,” Testa
said, “taking (more) good shots then bad shots,
knowing the difference, being smarter. A lot of it
is time and growth and a lot of work in the sum-
mer, putting in hours, just shooting and working
on every aspect of the game.”

M
uch like the basketball season,
the high school soccer schedule
passed the halfway point of the
league season last week and there are some
interesting battles shaping up for division
titles.
Peninsula Athletic League girls’ divisions
are among the most hotly contested races
around. In the Bay Division, four teams are
separated by five points. In the Ocean, there
are only three points separating three squads.
Of the top four teams in the Bay, any
could claim the division championship. San
Mateo leads the division with 19 points and
a 6-1-1 record. While not completely shock-
ing — all the PAL coaches knew the
Bearcats were one of
the most talented
teams in the league —
it is a bit surprising to
see them at the top of
the table, considering
the teams behind
them. Defending
champion Woodside
(5-2-1) and perennial
title contender
Burlingame (4-0-4)
are both only one win
and a Bearcats loss out
of first place. Aragon
(4-2-2), the defending Central Coast Section
Division II co-champs, is five points out of
first and is coming off a win over Woodside.
The race for the Ocean Division title is
even tighter. Despite being the only unbeaten
team in the division, Mills (6-0-2) finds itself
one point behind Capuchino (7-1-0), 21-20,
despite handing the Mustangs their only
league loss. El Camino (6-2) has 18 points
and is three points out of the top spot. The
Colts, however, have already dropped deci-
sions to both Capuchino and Mills.
The West Bay Athletic League standings
are just as tight. Much like the PAL, the
WBAL girls’ soccer league is divided into
two divisions — Foothill and Skyline.
Sacred Heart Prep (4-0-1) leads the Foothill,
but is just a point clear of rival Menlo School
(3-0-2). Woodside Priory (2-1-1) has an out-
side shot of catching either of the schools
above it, but would need a lot of help.

‘McDreamy’actor building racing credentials

By Jenna Fryer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — No,
weary race fans were not dreaming
when they checked the leaderboard
at daybreak of the Rolex 24 at
Daytona.
Dr. Derek Shepherd was behind
the wheel of the car at the front of
the Grand Touring class when the
sun came up on the twice-around-
the-clock endurance event.
How could it be that an actor with
the kitschy nickname “McDreamy”
could be leading the most presti-
gious road race in America?
The answer, it turns out, is actor
Patrick Dempsey has developed into
a pretty decent race car driver.
For a few hours Sunday, Dempsey
Racing’s No. 40 Mazda was inexpli-
cably in contention for a win in a
world-class sports car race. Neither
Dempsey or his team had ever led a
lap at this level, nor sniffed a podi-
um finish.
Victory was ultimately snatched
away when teammate Tom Long
spun with just under six hours
remaining in the race, and the car
fell four laps behind the GT leaders.
But they rallied to a third-place fin-
ish, a career best for both Dempsey
and his team that left the actor in
tears.
“I’m retiring from ’Grey’s
Anatomy’ as of today,” Dempsey
declared in his post-race news con-
ference. “I’ll be racing full-time
from here on in. There’s a headline
for you.”
He was joking, of course, but the
finish validated Dempsey’s work in
pursuit of his passion and finally
gave him some credibility.
There’s a term in sports-car racing
for guys like Dempsey, who are typ-
ically branded by the serious drivers
as “Rolex Racers.” It’s a derogatory
reference to rich guys who buy a
ride at Daytona International
Speedway as nothing more than a
macho way to stroke their egos.
They aren’t there to win the cov-
eted Rolex watch. They’re probably
already wearing a vintage model
they bought on their own.
The real racers roll their eyes at
the rich guys wrecking expensive
cars, and Dempsey earned his share
of ridicule over the years.
But he was determined to prove
he’s serious about racing. And
through driving schools, low level
races and years of commitment, he’s
steadily improved.
“He’s too modest to say it, but
he’s got a good passion and true
passion for the sport,” teammate
Charles Espenlaub said. “He’s not
some (jerk) that just wants to come
in here and race because it’s cool.
He does it because he loves it.”
Juggling his budding racing
career with his real job hasn’t been
easy.
Dempsey’s acting, directing and
producing commitments — you
know, his real job — limited him to
only four GT races last season. But
three of them ended with top-10 fin-
ishes, including sixth at the Rolex
24 in 2010.
He was able to race in seven
Grand-Am events in 2009 and nine
Many full-time,professional racers don’t have a lot of respect for perceived
rich kids and their rich hobbies.Actor Patrick Dempsey,whose team finished
third at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona,has slowly gained credibility among
the racing crowd with his dedication to the sport.
in 2008, but finding the time has
been challenging, even this last
weekend as Dempsey had to race,
literally, back and forth between
Daytona and Park City, Utah, to
promote his new film “Flypaper” at
the Sundance Film Festival.
The film, which Dempsey also
produced, screened Friday night
and Dempsey made it after a prac-
tice session in Daytona earlier in the
day. He was back in Florida about 5
a.m., ready for all the pre-race com-
mitments and the start of a grueling
event.
Still, he was angry with himself
after his first stint in the car, a dou-
ble shift, was so difficult.
“By the time I got in the car, I was
completely depleted,” he said. “I
didn’t have a lot of energy, I didn’t
have the same snap in practice,
which was difficult and demoraliz-
ing. I got out of the car and was
extremely frustrated and upset with
myself and was like, ’What am I
doing wasting my time if I’m not
going to be successful and be out
there and be competitive? Was it a
mistake to go out and do the pre-
miere?”’
Some time alone in his
motorhome, listening to the radio
chatter of his team, watching race
coverage on television, and reflect-
ing on his love of racing helped
Dempsey pull himself together.
“It reminded me of like, remem-
ber to have fun and not to forget
about how lucky we are to be here
and competing with such an incred-
ibly talented group of drivers,” he
said. “To really work through all of
those emotions and to get out and
find a place where I was much more
aggressive, and then I found myself
leading the 24 Hours, which was
remarkable. You just think of the
waves of emotions ... from getting
off the couch, from watching
SPEED on Sunday, to my wife say-
ing ‘Go and follow your dreams.’
It’s pretty special.”
Drenched in champagne and
fighting off tears, Dempsey said
he’d not been as happy as he was
Sunday since the birth of his chil-
dren. And he talked of the validation
Sunday gave his fledgling second
career.
“I really work hard to try to be
respected in this series,” he told the
Daytona Beach News-Journal. “I’m
very respectful and I have a lot of
respect for what they do and for
their talent. The fact that I’m inch-
ing in, getting closer on my lap
times ... this week I was putting
down some of my best times. I’m
starting to taste it and feel it now.”
Oscar winner Paul Newman was
the last actor to find success pursu-
ing racing as a second love.
Newman was part of the 1995 Rolex

Polamalu named AP
Defensive Player of Year
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Now that the voters have cho-
sen Troy Polamalu over Clay Matthews for
The Associated Press 2010 NFL Defensive
Player of the Year award, the two stars can
prove their worth against each other on the
field.
In the Super Bowl.
Pittsburgh safety Polamalu received 17
votes Monday from a nationwide panel of 50
media members who cover the league, edging
Green Bay linebacker Matthews by a hair —
two votes.
Despite missing two games, in which
Pittsburgh went 1-1, Polamalu became the
sixth Steeler to win the award. He had seven
interceptions this season along with 63 tack-
les, but made his mark with big plays. In a
late-season victory at Baltimore, his leaping

Weather service meteorologist Jesse Moore
said the sharpest cold, driven by northern
winds up to 25 mph, will come Wednesday.
“I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hop-
ing for the best,” said Tracy Gilmour, spokes-
woman for Sundance Square, an outdoor
venue in downtown Fort Worth that is one of
the broadcasting hubs and just a few blocks
from the Steelers’ hotel. “We’re going to keep
the party going as best we can.”

down.
That victory catapulted
the Steelers to the AFC
North title. Now, they are
in the Super Bowl for the
third time in six seasons,
where they face Matthews
Troy Polamalu and the Packers.
“I don’t imagine their
game plan changing over one player,”
Polamalu said. “We don’t single out anybody.
Anything we achieve here is done as a team,
as a whole.”
Added Steelers linebacker James Harrison,
who finished third in the balloting with eight
votes and won the award two years ago: “Troy

ter in Texas and the participating cities. One
travel agent in Pittsburgh said her agency had
no weather-related changes among about 20
bookings because the forecast was good for
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when most
clients were leaving.
“If that changes, we’re in trouble,” said
Nancy Buncher of Gulliver’s Travels.
The Texas Department of Transportation
brought in extra equipment from around the
state for road work, including snow plows that
are normally busy in the colder Texas
Panhandle, said Val Lopez, an agency
spokesman.
“It’s really not any different than if we had
a hurricane,” Lopez said. “In past years, with
hurricanes we’ve been asked to help the
coastal areas. This is kind of the reverse of
that.”

Manu Ginobili is the Spurs’ best candidate,
averaging 18.8 points. Tony Parker is next at
17.5 on 52 percent shooting, while Duncan’s
average of 13.6 points is third on the team and
only 20th best among West forwards who
have played at least 30 games, according to
STATS LLC.
That’s a career low, as are his 9.4 rebounds
in only 29 minutes per game while the Spurs
monitor the 14-year veteran’s minutes. Still
good for most players, those statistics look
even punier next to the nightly double-dou-
bles of Griffin and Love, players Duncan has
to compete with, along with perhaps players
such as Dallas’ Dirk Nowitzki, LaMarcus
Aldridge of Portland, the Lakers’ Pau Gasol,
or Zach Randolph of Memphis.
“It’s an interesting situation, because you’ve
got the three young guys, with Aldridge and
Love and this kid, Griffin. They’re all having
great years,” Houston coach Rick Adelman
said. “And then you’ve got the old standbys.
Tim Duncan, whose team is the best in the
league, but they’ve cut his minutes back. How
are the coaches are going to vote? I don’t
know. It’s going to be an interesting situation.
There’s a lot of young blood and guys who are
really playing like they deserve it.”
Duncan has been an All-Star 12 straight
seasons, two shy of the all-time record, and
made his 11th start last year. The fans went
with Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony this
year, but Duncan still has two possible routes
to extend those totals.
The coaches must submit their votes to the
league office by Tuesday afternoon, voting for
two forwards, two guards, a center and two
players regardless of position in their confer-
ence.
Duncan was listed on the fan ballot as a for-
ward, mostly because of his longtime objec-
tion to being considered a center even though
he mostly plays that position for the Spurs.
But coaches are free to vote for him at either

Should his name not be called when
reserves are announced Thursday night, he

Commissioner David Stern tabs him as the
injury replacement for Yao Ming, who was
voted the starting center by fans.
“I think Tim’s got a good shot. There’s a lot
of good players out there, in all seriousness,”
said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who will
coach the West.
“We wouldn’t be in the position we’re in,
record-wise, if Timmy wasn’t out there doing
what he does night after night, and his consis-
tency. So when I look across the board, I
would hope he makes the All-Star team.”
Popovich can’t vote for his own players and
doesn’t believe in lobbying coaches on behalf
of players — not that Duncan would want the
help.
“I’m not thinking about that right now,” he
said. “I don’t have an opinion on whether I’m
making the All-Star team or not.”
A respected veteran, Duncan’s reputation
could be a tiebreaker for coaches who can’t
decide between individual production or team
success. Those weighing stats more heavily
would agree with Charles Barkley, who left
Duncan off his list of reserves after the starters
were announced last Thursday on TNT.
While not talking specifically about
Duncan, Barkley said: “This isn’t a lifetime
achievement award. The award should go to
guys who are having the best first half of the
season.”

Bradley joins Villa on loan AOTW
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BIRMINGHAM, England — American mid-
fielder Michael Bradley has been loaned to
England’s Aston Villa from Germany’s Borussia
Moenchengladbach until the end of the season.
The 23-year-old will be available once he
receives international clearance and a visa.
“Michael is a very hard-working midfielder
who can score goals and is versatile,” Villa man-
ager Gerard Houllier said. “I saw him play four
times at the World Cup in South Africa. I saw
him once on TV, but four times at the games for
the national team, so in terms of scouting you
cannot say the work has not been done.”
Villa has the option to sign Bradley, a son of
U.S. national team coach Bob Bradley, perma-
nently at the end of the season.
“Over the past few years Villa have made big
strides and are trying to challenge at the very top
of the Premier League,” Bradley said. “I am
excited to be part of that and I am excited to be
here. I want to play at the highest level and test

Get relief for everyday aches and pains
By Douglas MacKay
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Everyday aches and pains may not leave you
stuck in bed but they can certainly take some
pep out of your step.
Often, readily accessible dietary supplements
and home remedies can relieve minor—but no
less annoying—ailments. Common problems
like acid reflux (heartburn), upset stomachs,
achy backs and that occasional run-down feel-
ing can strike just about anyone. Here are some
simple ways to treat minor complaints:
HEARTBURN
A nagging case of heartburn can keep you
from eating your favorite foods, and even pre-
vent you from enjoying your favorite activities.
For occasional reflux and heartburn, calcium
carbonate helps soothe symptoms and can be
taken as chewable tablets or as an effervescent
powder. A form of the popular herb licorice —
deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) — coats and
protects the mucus lining of the stomach and
esophagus and is helpful in soothing cells irri-
tated by reflux.
A chewable DGL tablet maximizes contact
between the herb and the esophageal surfaces,
where relief is often most needed.
UPSET STOMACH
Ginger can help with mild cases of nausea
and upset stomach. Several studies have shown
that ginger can potentially benefit several forms
of nausea, from upset stomach to morning sick-
ness. Recent research has even shown ginger to
help with nausea associated with the side
effects of chemotherapy (if used under the
supervision of a doctor).
For an upset stomach, try sipping a cup of
chamomile or peppermint tea. Both ingredients
HEALTH
For an upset stomach,try sipping a cup of peppermint or chamomile tea.
have been used for centuries to soothe upset
digestive systems.
For a more long-term approach, consider
incorporating probiotics into your daily routine.
Our bodies have good bacteria that live in our
guts called probiotics. In fact, we have more
bacteria in our gut than we have cells in our
body, and these bacteria have important health-
promoting functions. They manufacture nutri-
ents that break down food and protect us from
infection. Consuming probiotics helps regulate
digestive system function and is a healthy step
toward possibly preventing future digestive
mischief. Yogurt is a good source.
ACHING MUSCLES
Many of us have suffered from muscle
cramps or a stiff back. Several good options are
available for relief.

play an integral role in human physiology by
counterbalancing excess inflammation resulting
from activities of daily living. Inflammation is a
normal response to physiologic stresses, such as
exercise. Inflammation in excess, however, can
be harmful and trigger tight muscles and mus-
cle cramps.
Studies have shown that Omega-3 supple-
ments can reduce inflammation and relieve
chronic neck and low back pain. Home reme-
dies such as a warm epsom salt bath or com-
press can provide instant relief for sore, tight
muscles. Epsom salts are available at most
pharmacies (check package directions).
Also, try adding a few drops of lavender
essential oil to a warm epsom salt bath for addi-
tional effect. Lavender has been used tradition-
ally for calming anxiety, stress, tension and
relaxing muscle spasms.
POOR NUTRITION
Of course, making sure your getting the prop-
er nutrients is key to how you feel overall on a
day-to-day basis. You can incorporate vitamins
and minerals into your daily health regimen to
fill any nutrient gaps. This may also prevent
some common maladies down the road.
For example, calcium and magnesium are
two essential minerals often insufficiently con-
sumed via diet alone. Both are important for
normal muscle function but can also help you
avoid muscle cramps and aches. A multivitamin
is another supplement to consider.
We all suffer occasional aches and pains,
sometimes because we eat too much or eat the
wrong things; perhaps we pushed to hard dur-
ing a game of hoops; or sometimes, just
because. Of course, if your heartburn is more
than occasional, if your stomach is upset a little
too often, or if your back or knees ache a little
too much, visit your doctor.

Diabetes in pregnancy a risk for mom years later

By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A type of dia-
betes that strikes during pregnancy
may disappear at birth, but it
remains a big red flag for moms’
future health — one that too many
seem to be missing.
Roughly half of women who’ve
had gestational diabetes — the
pregnancy kind — go on to develop
full-fledged Type 2 diabetes in the
months to years after their child’s
birth.
Yet new research shows fewer
than one in five of those women
returns for a crucial diabetes test
within six months of delivery.
That’s the first of the checkups
they’re supposed to have every few
years to guard against diabetes’
return, but no one knows how many
do.
The research, by testing-lab giant
Quest Diagnostics, is sobering
because if they only knew, many of
these new mothers could take steps
to reduce their chances of later-in-
life diabetes that can bring with it
such complications as heart disease
and kidney damage.
“It’s almost as if you got a pre-
view . a window to the future,” says
Dr. Ann Albright, a diabetes special-
ist with the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. “This is a
population that really should be tar-
geted for intervention.”
And more mothers-to-be soon
may join the ranks. The American
Diabetes Association is recom-
mending a change in how pregnant
women are tested that will identify
more mild cases than today, based
on some recent studies that found
treating even those mothers leads to
easier deliveries. If obstetricians
Medical groups urge screening of most pregnant women.They drink a sweetened liquid and then have blood
tests to see how their body processes it.
eventually sign on, it has the poten-
tial to double diagnoses — although
most mild cases would need only
better nutrition and exercise, not
diabetes medications, the associa-
tion cautions.
New CDC estimates show nearly
26 million Americans have some
form of diabetes, the vast majority
of them the Type 2 kind that’s
linked to being overweight. Tens of
millions more have high enough
blood sugar to be classified as pre-
diabetic.
Women can have either Type 2
diabetes or the insulin-dependent
Type 1 variety at the time they
become pregnant. That’s a separate
issue, and those women are urged to
have their diabetes tightly con-
trolled to avoid a range of risks to
baby and mother.
But according to the CDC, some-
where between 2 percent and 10
percent of pregnant women develop
diabetes for the first time during
pregnancy, the gestational type. If
untreated, the mother’s high blood
sugar can make the fetus grow too
large, leading to C-sections and
early deliveries. It also can trigger a
potentially life-threatening condi-
tion called preeclampsia. It even
increases the baby’s risk of becom-
ing obese in childhood.
So medical groups urge screening
of most pregnant women. They
drink a sweetened liquid and then
have blood tests to see how their
body processes it.
But nearly a third of pregnant
women aren’t getting that test,
according to the new Quest study,
which examined the testing records
of more than 900,000 pregnant
women. The study, published in the
journal Obstetrics and Gynecology,
couldn’t say why. For some, doctors
may have decided they were at low
risk. Others may not have followed
their doctor’s advice to get the test.
More worrisome: Usually, mom’s
blood sugar returns to normal a few
weeks after the birth, but doctors
make clear that patients need to be
checked within six to 12 weeks to
be sure. Quest tracked those patient
records for a full six months, and
found 19 percent had gotten that
first postpartum check.
“The reality is that women get
busy” with their new family, says Dr.
Ellen Landsberger, obstetric diabetes
director at New York’s Montefiore
Medical Center, whose clinic takes
steps to track those patients down.
“Women take care of their children
more than themselves.“
The CDC says women whose
gestational diabetes disappears still
need their blood sugar checked
every one to three years, because
they’re at such high risk of develop-
ing Type 2 diabetes within the next
decade or two.
That’s because the body’s under-
lying ability to process blood sugar
is forever altered, says Dr. Carol
Wysham of the American Diabetes
Association, who heads the
Rockwood Clinic diabetes center in
Spokane, Wash.
The good news: For anyone at
risk for Type 2 diabetes, losing a
modest amount of weight — 5 per-
cent to 7 percent of your starting
pounds — and doing 2 1/2 hours of
physical activity a week are proven
to prevent or at least postpone it.
Women who had gestational dia-
betes are no exception, making it
especially important to shed those
pregnancy pounds.
In New York, Rewatie Hussain
had never heard of gestational dia-
betes before her first pregnancy. She
was promptly treated, and while her
son needed some extra care at birth,
he left the hospital healthy.

IS YOUR FOOT FRACTURE AN EARLY SIGN OF OSTEOPOROSIS?
Unexplained foot fractures may be the
first sign of osteoporosis, a bone thinning
disease which affects over 28 million
Americans and accounts for 1.5 million
bone fractures a year.
Osteoporosis is frequently referred
to as the “silent crippler” since it often
progresses without any symptoms or isn’t
diagnosed until a person experiences pain
from a bone fracture. The porous nature of
bones in people with osteoporosis makes
them more susceptible to bone fractures,
especially in the feet. Because the bones
are in a weakened state, normal weight-
bearing actions like walking can cause the
bones in the foot to break.
While osteoporosis is most commonly
seen in women over age 50, younger people
and men are also affected. Early symptoms
can include increased pain with walking
accompanied by redness and swelling on
the top of the foot. Oftentimes patients don’t
seek treatment for their symptoms for weeks
or even months, thinking the pain will pass.
The best advice is, don’t ignore unexplained
chronic foot or ankle pain. Early intervention
can make all the difference in the treatment
and recovery.
Your physician can diagnose osteoporosis
through bone densitometry tests, which
measure calcium and mineral levels in the
bones through low-dose radiation x-ray,
paid advertisement
or possibly through a routine x-ray. This
is why prevention and early intervention
are key; women should make sure bone
densitometry tests are part of their wellness
examinations when indicated by their
physicians.
If you are diagnosed with osteoporosis,
it’s important to protect your feet from stress
fractures. Wear shoes that provide motion
control, stability, support and cushioning, such
as athletic running shoes, to provide extra
shock absorption and protection. Custom
Al Ghamgosar, DPM, FACFAS
orthotics may also be recommended to protect
the foot and ankle from pressure and provide
shock absorption, particularly during exercise.

Judge strikes down Obama health care overhaul
By Melissa Nelson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PENSACOLA, Fla. — A federal judge
declared the Obama administration’s health
care overhaul unconstitutional Monday, sid-
ing with 26 states that argued people cannot
be required to buy health insurance.
Senior U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson
agreed with the states that the new law vio-
lates people’s rights by forcing them to buy
health insurance by 2014 or face penalties.
He went a step further than a previous ruling
against the law, declaring the entire thing
unconstitutional if the insurance requirement
does not hold up.
Attorneys for the administration had
argued that the states did not have standing to
challenge the law and that the case should be
dismissed.
Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy
Schmaler said Monday the department
strongly disagrees with Vinson’s ruling and
intends to appeal.
“There is clear and well-established legal
precedent that Congress acted within its con-
stitutional authority in passing this law and
we are confident that we will ultimately pre-
vail on appeal,” she said in a statement.
The final step will almost certainly be the
U.S. Supreme Court. Two other federal
judges have already upheld the law and a fed-
eral judge in Virginia ruled the insurance
mandate unconstitutional but stopped short of
voiding the entire thing.
At issue was whether the government is
reaching beyond its constitutional power to
regulate interstate commerce by requiring cit-
izens to purchase health insurance or face tax
penalties.
HEALTH
U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson ruled Monday that the Obama administration’s health care
overhaul is unconstitutional,siding with 26 states that sued to block it.
Vinson, who was appointed to federal
bench by Ronald Reagan in 1983, said it is,
writing in his 78-page ruling that if the gov-
ernment can require people to buy health
insurance, it could also regulate food the
same way.
“Or, as discussed during oral argument,
Congress could require that people buy and
consume broccoli at regular intervals,” he
wrote, “Not only because the required pur-
chases will positively impact interstate com-
REUTERS
merce, but also because people who eat
healthier tend to be healthier, and are thus
more productive and put less of a strain on
the health care system.”
Obama administration attorneys had
argued that health care is part of the interstate
commerce system. They said the government
can impose a tax penalty on Americans who
decide not to purchase health insurance
because all Americans are consumers of med-
ical care.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
But attorneys for the states said the admin-
istration was essentially coercing them into
participating in the overhaul by holding bil-
lions of Medicaid dollars hostage. The states
also said the federal government is violating
the Constitution by forcing a mandate on the
states without providing money to pay for it.
Vinson said the courts have generally not
accepted similar arguments about Medicaid
as a violation of state sovereignty and that the
states did not provide enough evidence in this
case.
“I appreciate the difficult situation in which
the states find themselves,” he wrote. “It is a
matter of historical fact that at the time the
Constitution was drafted and ratified, the
Founders did not expect that the federal gov-
ernment would be able to provide sizable
funding to the states and, consequently, be
able to exert power over the state to the extent
that it currently does.”
He said that the only way the states would
have legal standing to claim the Medicaid
portion of the law is coercion would be for
the Supreme Court to change the
Constitution.
“Unless and until that happens, the states
have little recourse to remaining the very jun-
ior partner in this partnership,” Vinson wrote.
Still, opponents of the health overhaul
praised his decision Monday afternoon.
House Speaker John Boehner said it shows
Senate Democrats should follow a House
vote to repeal the law.
“Today’s decision affirms the view, held by
most of the states and a majority of the
American people, that the federal govern-
ment should not be in the business of forcing
you to buy health insurance and punishing
you if you don’t,” he said in a statement.

day public comment period resulted in
no comments. On Wednesday, the board
is expected to approve the negative dec-

Board President Lorraine Rumley
expressed excitement to be moving for-
ward with the project. She also was not
surprised by the lack of comments since
most neighborhood issues were worked
out previously as a result of litigation.
If approved, the district expects to
have the permanent lights ready for the
next school year.
Lighting the football field has required
lots of input. Five temporary light towers
were installed at M-A football field in
September for use during the current
school year while the Sequoia Union

enhancements rather than cuts.
“The people of California have been
hurt — the poor, the sick, the children,
the seniors,” said Yee, who is hopeful
budget conversations will focus on
boosting revenue to backfill cuts made to
health and human services over the last
10 years rather than exacerbate them.
One way to raise revenue is to require
businesses who received massive tax
breaks to achieve goals that would bene-
fit the state to prove that success. If they
were unsuccessful, those taxes could be
collected bringing in $3 billion or more,
said Yee. This was just one example of
tax ideas thrown out but not currently
being discussed that Yee would like to
see focused on as the new budget is pro-
posed.
Brown’s plan stays away from kinder-
garten through high school education if
voters extend a series of temporary
statewide taxes in June. During his
under the moniker Protect Atherton’s
Residential Character, a number of resi-
dents sued the district in hopes of bar-
ring lights from being used. The group
won an injunction, issued in early
October days before M-A’s homecom-
ing. In November the two sides reached
an agreement outlining the use of field
lights — both temporary and permanent
— for the next five years. After that, the
district is free to change the usage rules
during a public hearing and after a full
environmental impact report has been
completed.
Temporary lights can be used through
March 2011, under the agreement.
Many of the possible impacts of lights,
found under the environmental report,
are addressed through the agreement.
Noise concerns, for example, are miti-
gated by limiting the sound system and
event hours.
Night games will be limited to four
Friday football games, one of which can
be played on a Thursday, and 12 non-
football games, such as soccer or
lacrosse. Lights must be out by 8:30
speech, Brown noted it’s the people who
now have a stake in next year’s budget.
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, applauded this point. This is a
challenge to create outreach so voters
can make an informed decision, he said.
Not extending the taxes will mean
harsh cuts. Recalling a recent event, Hill
said there is no Plan B should the tax
extensions fail. There will simply be
massive cuts.
“The people of San Mateo County
have always wanted to see equal cuts or
equal increases. They would prefer that
rather than taking [services] down to a
level none of us could live with,” said
Hill.
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park, called the speech a strong case for
involving the public.
Unlike Yee, Gordon appreciated
Brown’s ambiguity on achieving the
budget. He sees Brown’s goal as setting
a framework within which elected offi-
cials will work. Gordon, who serves on
the Budget Committee, added about 40
meetings are scheduled on the topic
through the beginning of March.
Assembly Minority Leader Connie
turned off no later than 30 minutes after
any game ends.
Most of the year, the lights will be off
by 8 p.m. From March 31 until the end
of the school year, the lights will be off
by 7:30 p.m. Lights will not to be used
on weekends unless the football team
makes it to the playoffs.
Safety and traffic concerns were also
raised both by neighbors and the envi-
ronmental impact study.
As a result, the agreement also calls
upon the district to create a security plan
— working with the Atherton and Menlo
Park police departments and the San
Mateo County Sheriff’s Office — for
night football games. Additionally, only
law enforcement and fire department
vehicles will be allowed to use the Oak
Grove Avenue entrance. Finally, a fence
will be erected between the school and
the residents whose property is next to
the field.
The board meets 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday, Feb. 2 at the District Office,
480 James Ave. in Redwood City.
State Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto,
described Brown’s speech as a “long
overdue dose of reality.”
“The governor and the public rightful-
ly expect the Legislature to step up and
make the hard choices necessary to put
the state on a sound financial footing.
When the governor called on us for a
combination of ‘vision and discipline,’
he struck the right note,” said Simitian.
Senate Republican Leader Bob
Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga, was
encouraged by the speech but didn’t
think the budget plan will fix the long-
term problems.
“Governor Brown’s budget proposal
will not restore California’s economy.
Government must spend your tax dollars
efficiently and effectively. That will
require real and permanent spending
reductions, not more taxes,” Dutton said
in a prepared statement.
Dutton called out over $4.5 billion in
cuts that are really achieved by moving
money around and predicted voters
would not extend taxes. Despite these
things, Dutton called Brown’s proposal
“a good starting point.”

Even if his plan is adopted, it will
leave little money to pay for a host of
state programs. Interest groups already
have been lining up in protest over the
expected loss of money, including may-
ors and other local elected officials who
object to Brown’s plan to eliminate rede-
velopment agencies that divert local tax
revenue to developers.
Brown said none of those who have
opposed the cuts or taxes has offered
credible alternatives.
The Legislature has until March to call
the election, but GOP leaders have
called the tax plan a “non-starter.“ While
Democrats are the majority party in the
Assembly and Senate, some Republican
support is needed to reach the two-thirds
vote threshold to place the question on a
ballot.

employee pension reform and potential
cuts to other state programs, but none
has appeared in Brown’s budget plans.
“Don’t just tell me, ’I’m willing to
work on those things if they’re reason-
able.’ I want to see those reforms. I want
to see what that looks like” in Brown’s
plan, Conway said. “And maybe the
dance has just begun. Maybe we’ve been
talking and talking and now we will get
to more specifics.”
Conway and other Republican leaders
noted that voters had already rejected
extensions of the same taxes in a 2009
special election.
“Voters said in 2009, ’No, we don’t
want to give you two more years of taxes
beyond what you’ve already asked for.

’No, we don’t want to pay you an extra

While Californians have rejected calls

for a special election. Voters said they
were willing to pay more for public
schools but do not support increased
spending if it goes to pay for prisons,
according to the poll.

as certain about the timeline but said the
work is upcoming.
Part of the “unusually slow” delay was
waiting for the ground to dry, Antonides
said.
Once the environmental cleanup is fin-
ished, the work must be inspected and
certified. Once that is done, construction
can begin on the project’s first phase on
the 18.1-acre site.
That phase includes an outpatient clin-
ic, followed by an acute inpatient hospi-
first segment also includes a loop road
and installation of fire hydrants and
landscaping irrigation.
When finished, the 192,260-square-
foot San Carlos Center will include an
urgent-care center, 120 primary physi-
cians and specialists, an on-site laborato-
ry and pharmacy, space for outpatient
surgery and a cafe. PAMF estimates the
center will create 800 new jobs for non-
physician staff.

Egypt’s army: No force against protesters

Egyptians stock up on food,

By Ryan Lucas

CAIRO — After 24 years in
Canada, Rafik and Leila Baladi
moved back to Cairo two weeks
ago to settle down.
Now, like many other residents of
the Egyptian capital, they’re stock-
ing up on bottled water and essen-
tial foodstuffs as chaos engulfs this
sprawling city of some 18 million.
“We just don’t know what is
going to happen,” said Leila, who
along with her husband was push-
ing a shopping cart loaded with
frozen chicken breasts, fava beans,
milk and other items at a grocery
store in central Cairo. “People are
terrified to death.”
Officials:U.S.hopes As foreigners flee,airport a scene of chaos
Mubarak won’t run
By Bradley Klapper
and Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The United
States has a vision for Egypt’s tran-
sition to real democracy: President
Hosni Mubarak ends the state of
emergency that has underpinned
three decades of iron rule and gives
up any lasting ambitions on winning
re-election.
Administration officials said
Monday that the U.S. government
would prefer that Mubarak, 82, not
run in presidential voting scheduled
for September. But they won’t say
that publicly for fear of destabiliz-
ing Egypt amid increased signs that
the regime may fall.
The officials spoke on condition
of anonymity because of the sensi-
tivity of diplomacy and the difficult
situation the Obama administration
finds itself in, torn between pro-
democracy protesters and an ally
who has backed the U.S. for over
three decades on issues from Arab-
Israeli peace to counterterrorism.
Everyday life in Cairo has been
turned upside down by the largest
anti-government protests in
decades in Egypt, which began last
Tuesday and have surged since.
Schools are closed and business-
es boarded up; the usual bumper-to-
bumper traffic is now little more
than a trickle; and the capital’s
famed nightlife has been snuffed
out by a 4 p.m. to 8 a.m. curfew.
For Monday, the military extended
the hours, saying curfew would
start at 3 p.m.
Even the Internet and text mes-
sage services have been blocked for
days.
The overriding concern for
almost everyone in Cairo remains
the fear of lawlessness.

Publicly, the administration
would not be drawn out on the sub-
ject of Mubarak’s future, officials
saying only that the elections should
be open and fair.
“The United States government
does not determine who’s on the
ballot,” White House press secretary
Robert Gibbs said. “I don’t think
that people that seek greater free-
dom are looking for somebody else
to pick what and how that change
looks like.”

CAIRO — Egypt’s military
pledged not to fire on protesters in a
sign that army support for President
Hosni Mubarak may be unraveling
on the eve a major escalation — a
push for a million people to take to
the streets Tuesday to demand the
authoritarian leader’s ouster.
More than 10,000 people beat
drums, played music and chanted
slogans in Tahrir Square, which has
become ground zero of a week of
protests demanding an end to
Mubarak’s three decades in power.
With the organizers’ calling for a
“march of a million people,” the
vibe in the sprawling plaza —
whose name in Arabic means
“Liberation” — was of an intensify-
ing feeling that the uprising was
nearing a decisive point.
“He only needs a push!” was one
of the most frequent chants, and a
leaflet circulated by some protesters
said it was time for the military to
choose between Mubarak and the
people.
The latest gesture by Mubarak

CAIRO — Amid scenes of chaos
at Cairo’s international airport, thou-
sands of foreigners fled the unrest in
Egypt, boarding special flights home
or to nearby Mediterranean airports.
As countries around the world
scrambled to send in planes to fly
their citizens out on Monday, nerves
and shouting and shoving matches
erupted as passengers crammed into
Cairo airport’s new Terminal 3 seek-
ing a flight home.
“It’s an absolute zoo, what a

demanded the lifting of restrictions
on who is eligible to run for presi-
dent to allow a real challenge to the
ruling party, as well as measures to
ensure elections are fair. A presiden-
tial election is scheduled for
September .
In Washington, White House
spokesman Robert Gibbs dismissed
the naming of the new government,
saying the situation in Egypt calls
for action, not appointments.

The State Department said that a
retired senior diplomat — former
ambassador to Egypt Frank Wisner
— was now on the ground in Cairo
and will meet Egyptian officials to
urge them to embrace broad eco-
nomic and political changes that can
pave the way for free and fair elec-
tions.
The army statement, aired on
state TV, said the powerful military
recognizes “the legitimacy of the
people’s demands” — the strongest
sign yet that it is willing to let the
protests continue and even grow as
long as they remain peaceful, even
if that leads to the fall of Mubarak.
If the 82-year-old president, a for-
mer air force commander, loses the
support of the military, it would
likely be a fatal blow to his rule.
