San Bruno begins talk of closing school

Declining enrollment, possible state cuts at issue; school yet to be identified
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Declining enrollment combined with the addition of sixth graders to middle school and the possibility of losing state funding is forcing San Bruno education leaders to seriously consider closing one of its elementary schools.
Starting this fall, San Bruno students will attend elementary school through fifth grade and start at Parkside Intermediate in sixth grade. Changing which school serves sixth grade will shift about 280 students from the elementary schools. In addition, the district has seen an overall drop in enrollment. Combining those enrollment
changes with the possibility of additional cuts from the state, the district needs to plan for the worst-case scenario closing a school, said David Hutt, superintendent of the San Bruno Park Elementary School District. During the last ve years, the district has lost about 250 to 300 students about the size of one of the
districts elementary schools. Putting sixth-grade students at Parkside will create even smaller numbers at the elementary school sites which can cause issues with staffing. Closing a school and spreading the students out throughout the district could create more opportunities for teachers to collaborate on lesson plans, Hutt said.
The District Development Ad Hoc Committee begins meeting today to name a school for possible closure. A recommendation will go before the board April 18. While no decision has been made yet, closing a school could go into effect for the 2012-13 school year, said Hutt. Criteria for choosing a school to

Recycling numbers way up

Local cities composting more than ever
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For the rst time ever, locals set out more compost than garbage in their bins in 2011, according to a report from the South Bayside Waste Management Authority. Some of the increase may have something to do with pizza boxes that once went straight to the landll at Ox Mountain.
Those boxes, with greasy bits of food left in them, can now go into the same bin with yard waste and organics. It is the No. 1 question we get. What to do with pizza boxes, said Gino Gasparini with Recology. Any cardboard or paper with food contamination now goes into organics, he said. In 2011, compost collection increased 29 percent compared to 2010
and residential recycling jumped 25 percent during the same period. The increase in composting and recycling has seen garbage disposal decrease by nearly 18 percent from 2010 to 2011, helping to extend the life of San Mateo Countys only landll at Ox Mountain, Gasparini said.

Teacher facing abuse charges

Woman arrested for alleged crimes at Redwood City school placed on leave
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Police reports
Picture this happening
A camera was taken from a hotel room on South Airport Boulevard in South San Francisco before 10:32 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 24.
A Redwood City special education teacher was put on leave and has since been charged with multiple counts of abusing children at Roosevelt Elementary School, a deputy district attorney said Monday. Alexia Aliki Bogdis, 43, of Millbrae, has been charged with ve counts of child cruelty and four counts of battery on school grounds, San Mateo County Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti said. Investigators believe Bogdis slapped a student, twisted a students wrist, and kicked the back of a chair, causing a desk to move forward and strike a student, Guidotti said. She is also accused of depriving a child of food and kicking a child in the stomach, Guidotti said. No children were seriously injured, Guidotti said.
Bogdis was put on administrative leave from the district Wednesday afternoon after allegations were made about her conduct in the classroom, according to a statement on the Redwood City Elementary School Alexia Bogdis District website. We have zero tolerance toward violence of any kind at our schools, Superintendent Jan Christensen said in a prepared statement. If there is verication of actual physical abuse toward any student by any staff member, I will recommend to the school board that the employee be terminated. Bogdis has worked in the district for ve years, said district spokeswoman Naomi Hunter. She has never served in any other positions and her most recent class had seven
students, Hunter said. Bogdis will remain on leave until the situation is resolved. During administrative leave, the district can also gather information from students, teachers and others involved before determining a course of action, according to the districts website. Police investigators believe the victims were two 4-year-old boys and that the crimes occurred over the past few months. Officers acted on a report from Child Protective Services and obtained an arrest warrant for Bogdis on Friday, police said. Bogdis surrendered to police on Saturday and was booked into San Mateo County Jail. She was later released on $15,000 bail, Guidotti said. She is scheduled to enter a plea in San Mateo County Superior Court on March 1. Counseling services will be made available to students who may be affected by this incident, according to the district.

Ruling near on California same-sex marriage ban

By Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO A federal appeals court plans to announce whether it thinks Californias same-sex marriage ban violates the civil rights of gays and lesbians, and if the trial judge who struck down the voterapproved measure should have revealed he was in a long-term relationship with another man. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said a three-judge panel was ready to publish its long-awaited opinions Tuesday on the ban and on the possible conflict-ofinterest by former Chief U.S. Judge Vaughn Walker, who ruled that Proposition 8 did
not pass constitutional muster. Walker presided over the rst trial in federal court to examine if same-sex couples have a constitutional right to get married. Even if the 9th Circuit panel agrees with him and overturns the ban approved by voters in November 2008, same-sex marriages are unlikely to resume in California any time soon. Supporters and opponents of Proposition 8 have said they would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court if they lose in the intermediate court. Some legal observers believe the written heads-up the court gave Monday indicates it concluded there is no reason why Walker should have disclosed his relationship status while he had the case.
The notice appears to indicate that the panel will rule on the constitutionality of Proposition 8. That seems to suggest that the court will deny the effort by Prop 8 proponents to vacate Judge Walkers ruling on recusal grounds, and also that it will nd that the Prop. 8 proponents had standing to pursue the appeal, University of Pennsylvania Law School Professor Tobias Barrington Wolff said.

Below market-rate housing requirements for new rental developments are in jeopardy as Senate Bill 184 has been declared ofcially dead this year. The bill, authored by state Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, aimed to restore cities zoning authority to require inclusionary housing after the court ruled against BMR housing requirements in a 2009 case, Palmer v. the city of Los Angeles. The bill ofcially died Feb. 1 and cannot be reintroduced this year. The League of California Cities was one of the bills top sponsors. Despite league support for the legislation, the bill was several votes short from being able to pass off the Senate oor. Rather than risk recording a failing vote and limit the ability to pass a bill in the future, the author and the sponsors chose not to take up SB 184, according to a league statement. Locally, the city of San Mateo prohibited last May the construction of new rental housing in the city, with some exceptions, until staff can gure out how to require developers to provide affordable housing without violating state law. With SB 184 now dead, the city can only ask a developer to voluntarily comply with the citys inclusionary housing requirements. The voter-driven initiative approved in 2004 by San Mateo residents, Measure P, allows the city to ask developers to provide more than 10 percent of new units be set aside at belowmarket rates. The city set the amount at 15 percent but the Palmer decision puts that requirement in limbo. The city tried to amend the law in a November election to give it greater control to build affordable housing but voters rejected it.
We have taken the position that the Palmer case was wrongly decided, said San Mateo City Attorney Shawn Mason. If a developer challenges a citys inclusionary housing requirements, Mason thinks an appeals court could side with the city. It is a problem that needs xing, Mason said, either by the courts or the Legislature. The city of Daly City and MidPen Housing were also sponsors of the bill but the San Francisco Association of Realtors argued against it. San Francisco already has strict rent control laws, said Ron Kingston with SFAR. Lenos SB 184 would have put permanent price controls on new developments, Kingston said. This bill didnt set reasonable parameters. It gave too much control at the local level, Kingston said. For instance, Lenos bill did not indicate whether a city could require 10 percent or 20 percent or 30 percent of a new developments units to be set aside as BMR, Kingston said. But MidPen Housing President Matt Franklin said inclusionary housing requirements help keep people living closer to work. The absence of support leads to a labor shortage and longer commutes, Franklin said. Inclusionary housing leads to more integrated communities, he said. Daly City Councilman David Canepa said home ownership is out of reach for many because of high housing costs. BMR provides people with the opportunity to live in the community where they are from, Canepa said. Daly City leads the county in foreclosures, he said, but is also building highdensity transit-oriented development along El Camino Real that should be made affordable for the working class. Lenos legislation would have protected affordable housing, Canepa said.

OAKLAND A rally on the steps of City Hall on Monday turned into a shouting match between Occupy Oakland organizers and a newly formed group of residents and downtown merchants opposed to tactics used by the protesters. Occupy organizers had called for a day of action as part of the movements ongoing conict with police over tactics used during earlier protests. Activists also gathered outside the county courthouse in solidarity with 11 Occupy Oakland protesters who were arraigned on misdemeanor charges of blocking a sidewalk; another was charged with a felony stemming from a January melee in front of City Hall. A clash between protesters and
police last month was followed by occupiers vandalizing City Hall and burning an American ag that stood on the grand staircase of the public building. More than 400 people were arrested. On Monday, protesters were met by dozens of residents belonging to the newly formed Stand for Oakland group. They stood with a green and yellow banner on the steps of City Hall and wore armbands that called on others to stand for the city. Green and yellow are the colors of the Oakland As baseball team. You dont respect the city of Oakland, Daud Abdullah, 51, shouted at Occupy Oakland organizers. Youre tearing the city apart.

Tea Party beginning to lean toward Romney

By Kristen Wyatt
DENVER Long skeptical of Mitt Romney, Tea Party activists are either warming up to the GOP presidential front-runner or reluctantly backing him after abandoning hope of nding a nominee they like better. Whatever the reason, the former Massachusetts governor who is coming off of back-to-back victories in Florida and Nevada now is picking up larger shares of the Tea Party vote than he did when the Republican nomination ght began. And that fact alone illuminates the struggles of the nearly three-yearold movement to greatly inuence its rst presidential race. We havent gone away, insisted Amy Kremer, chairwoman of the national Tea Party Express. But, in the same breath, she acknowledged lower expectations and a shift in focus to Senate races over the White House campaign. She also pleaded for patience, saying: Anybody that thinks we are going to change things in one cycle or two cycles is fooling themselves. Tea Party activists across the country entered their rst presiden-
tial contest this year expecting to hold major sway over the Republican race following a 2010 congressional election year in which their favored candidates successfully knocked off a string of insiders in GOP primaries in Colorado and elsewhere. The movement influenced the presidential race early on, with candidates from Romney on down parroting the movements language and promoting its agenda of restrained spending to curry favor with its adherents. But the coalition was greatly fractured and plagued by inghting. It also watched as one favored candidate after another lost standing or quit the race, among them Georgia businessman Herman Cain and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann. The remaining candidates Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul have attributes that Tea Party backers like but they face huge hurdles in knocking Romney off his stride. Thats left many in the Tea Party shifting focus to Romney, a candidate viewed by many as most likely to unseat President Barack Obama, even if he doesnt vociferously bang the drum of their top issues.

Key states move closer to foreclosure-abuse deal

Train trench dig finds artifacts near old mission
SAN GABRIEL Archaeologists have dug up thousands of pieces of history along the route of a planned train trench near the historic San Gabriel Mission. The Los Angeles Times says some 20,000 artifacts have been uncovered so far, including coins from the 1800s, chunks of pottery, Native American shells and railroad spikes. A 30-member team of archaeologists is working along the path of a $498 million, 2.2-mile trench that will lower existing train tracks 30 feet, easing trafc tie-ups along the San Gabriel Valley route east of Los Angeles.
WASHINGTON California and New York, the key holdouts in a long-awaited settlement over foreclosure abuses, moved closer Monday to backing a deal that would force the ve largest mortgage lenders to reduce loans for about 1 million households. But those states, along with a handful of others, had not joined the settlement by a Monday deadline set by the nations state attorneys general. And a deal might not be nalized for days. California still has significant sticking points, but they may be settled in the coming days, said of-
cials with direct knowledge of the negotiations. That represents progress from a few weeks ago, when California Attorney General Kamala Harris called the proposed settlement inadequate. The ofcials spoke on condition of anonymity because they werent authorized to discuss the settlement publicly. Im less concerned with the timeline than the details, Harris said in a statement Monday. Negotiators were working well into Monday night to see if they could persuade more states to join the settlement, an official said. There is growing optimism that California, New York, Delaware, Nevada and a few others will even-
tually sign on. Homeowners in states that opt out of the deal wouldnt share in the settlement money. The money available to homeowners could run as high as $25 billion if all states approve the deal. The reduced loans would benet homeowners who are behind on their payments and owe more than their homes are worth. The lenders would also send checks for about $2,000 to hundreds of thousands of people who lost homes to foreclosure. The five lenders Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Ally Financial have already agreed to the settlement. In settling the charges, the
states would agree not to pursue further investigations against the banks in civil court. The deal would not protect the banks from criminal investigations. The few states that have resisted the deal have expressed concern that it would limit their ability to take action against the banks for any past wrongdoing that turns up later. Californias backing is particularly crucial. It was among the states hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis. And it has the most residents underwater: They owe more on their loan than their home is worth. Without Californias participation, the money available to homeowners nationally would be about $19 billion rather than $25 billion.
Obama administration rejects Medi-Cal copayments

Senator drops bill after mortgage policy change

SACRAMENTO A state senator said Monday he will withdraw a bill to protect borrowers who had been threatened with foreclosure because they were renting out their homes, saying his measure is no longer necessary because a state agency reversed its policy. The California Housing Finance Agency had been foreclosing on borrowers who were current in their mortgage payments but rented out their homes because they owed more than they were worth and could not sell them.
SACRAMENTO Federal health ofcials on Monday said California cannot force Medi-Cal recipients to make a co-pay for doctor visits and prescription drugs, a decision that brings relief to low-income patients but complicates the states effort to close a $9.2 billion budget decit. A letter from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said agency ofcials were unable to
identify the legal and policy support for the states request. The decision is the latest in a string of legal and regulatory challenges that have made it difcult for the state to reduce spending and balance its budget. Gov. Jerry Brown and lawmakers were planning to save $511 million a year in the health insurance program by requiring low-income patients to pay a share of their medical costs. Under the state budget passed last year, Medi-Cal would require recipi-
ents to pay $5 for doctor and dental visits, $3 for preferred prescription drugs, $50 for emergency room visits and a maximum of $200 for a hospital stay. The co-pays were to start Oct. 1. State ofcials said they intend to appeal to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and others in President Barack Obamas administration. We will be seeking a reversal of the ruling, said Browns nance spokesman, H.D. Palmer. If this rul-
ing were to stand, its another instance where the state would be precluded from achieving savings the Legislature has approved. Advocates for the poor called it the right decision, saying the co-pays would have deterred people from seeking preventive treatments. Doctors and health providers argued they would have a hard time collecting co-pays and say it would discourage low-income families from lling prescriptions for themselves or their children.

Greece caves in on civil service firings

By Derek Gatopoulos and Nicholas Paphitis
ATHENS, Greece Greeces coalition government on Monday caved in to demands to cut civil service jobs, announcing 15,000 positions would go this year, amid mounting international pressure to agree on austerity measures needed to secure major new debt agreements. The announcement signals a shift in Greeces policy, as state jobs have so far been protected during the countrys acute nancial crisis, which started about two years ago. Public Sector Reform Minister Dimitris Reppas said the job cuts would be carried out under a new law that allows such rings. Unions have called a 24-hour general strike for Tuesday, in response to the new austerity measures, while about 4,000 protesters braved torrential rain late Monday to join protest rallies organized in central Athens by left-wing opposition parties. Greece is racing to push through the painful reforms which have yet to be agreed by Greeces coalition partners to clinch a (euro) 130 billion ($170 billion) bailout deal from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund and avoid a March default on its bond repayments. Debt-ridden Greece has been kept solvent since May 2010 by payments from a (euro) 110 billion ($145 billion) international rescue
loan package. When it became clear the money would not be enough, a second bailout was decided last October. As well as the austerity measures, the bailout also depends on separate talks with banks and other private bondholders to forgive (euro) 100 billion ($131.6 billion) in Greek debt. The private investors have been locked in negotiations over swapping their current debt for a cash payment and new bonds worth 50 per cent less than the original face value, longer repayment terms and a cut in the interest rate to be paid on the bonds. Greek government officials say they expect private investors to take an overall cut of up to 70 percent on the value of their bonds. However, the EU/IMF bailout has to be secured for the deal with private investors to go ahead as about (euro) 30 billion from the bailout will be used as the cash payment in the bond swap deal. Greeces coalition party leaders pushed back a key meeting on the austerity measures by a day till Tuesday, due to the ongoing negotiations with EU-IMF debt inspectors who were locked in talks with the government Monday. The leaders have already agreed to cut 2012 spending by 1.5 percent of gross domestic product about (euro) 3.3 billion ($4.3 billion) improve competitiveness by slashing wages and non-wage costs, and re-capitalize banks without nationalizing them.

Defense spending cuts testing lawmakersresolve on deficits

By Donna Cassata
WASHINGTON President Barack Obamas call to shrink the military, shut bases and cancel weapons to meet the demand for budget cuts tests the resolve of lawmakers who came to Washington determined to slash the decit. A new national security strategy reecting an end to decade-long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan offers the opportunity to reduce defense spending and government decits by hundreds of billions of dollars over the next 10 years but at a cost of thousands of jobs in lawmakers states and districts. Democrats as well as Republicans are resisting, looking to protect home turf from California, where the Global Hawk unmanned aircraft is built, to Wisconsin, home to speedy Littoral combat ships, to military installations all across the country.
Its funny that we want to save money everywhere except when it can bother us, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in an interview. Graham is a member of the Armed Services Committee and one of the few lawmakers who favors another round of domestic base closings. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta recently outlined a $525 billion budget for next year thats $6 billion less than the current level. The proposal is the rst step in the decit-cutting plan that Obama and congressional Republicans agreed to last summer that calls for a reduction in projected defense spending of $487 billion over 10 years. Make no mistake, the savings that we are proposing will impact on all 50 states and many districts, congressional districts, across America, Panetta said at a news conference spelling out the new strategy. This will be a test, a test of whether reducing the decit is about talk or about action.

Tough state emission rules will lead the nation

Los Angeles Daily News
alifornia has long led the way in adopting standards for textbooks, for workplace safety, for automobiles that the rest of the nation is soon to imitate. Its not that the other states love Californians so much, though theyre right to at least envy us in many ways. Its that our size, in population and economic clout, necessitates that other states follow our standards. Texas (lots of new jobs, mostly lowpaying) and New York (Wall Street and Fifth Avenue, but a rust belt upstate) imagine they rival our national role. Imagine is the key word there. The California Air Resources Board recently voted to take the truly bold step of cutting polluting vehicle emissions by 75 percent by 2025. The rules will kick in with cars sold in 2015 and get more stringent over the following decade. The rules also require one of every seven
Other voices
new cars sold in 2025 in California to be a zero-emission or plug-in hybrid vehicle. The cries will surely come and were already being heard last week: We cant afford more government interference now. Let the private sector work. This is more jobkilling regulation. Its true that many government regulations tie up business in red tape and help only bureaucrats, not the people of California. Thats not the case here. From seat belts to catalytic converters to safety bumpers, government regulation of vehicle standards in many areas has been the only way to effect change. Even the auto industry understands that. And many car companies say these standards are what they are shooting for anyway. Yes, the cars will be lighter, compact, far more fuel efcient. Thats what the mandate will be. Its not enforced by the government
but really by the economics of the future, said Michael Dobrin, a spokesman for Toyota. New jobs will be created as technology is advanced. Ultra-clean cars will cut greenhouse emissions. In 2025, California drivers will save an estimated $5 billion in operating costs, mostly by using less gasoline. Actually, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 13 automakers and our states Air Resources Board worked together, so that the new greenhouse gas emission limits the federal government is expected to pass later this year will match Californias and create one national standard. Also on the national level, new federal standards likely to be passed later this year would require the average passenger car to reach a 54.5-mph standard by 2025. More regulation? Not a great economic idea in many cases. But when it comes to the cooperative automobile industry, more can be better for all concerned.
Rethink pink
e know all about the pink. The Susan G. Komen For the Cure Foundation with its marketing blitz of pink blenders and color-coded events made sure of that. God help the cause that tries getting attention in October or the business that passes on turning appliances, tools and even buckets of chicken a bright, cheery shade of cotton candy. But what about the green? Planned Parenthood, smarting over the Komens withdrawal of breast cancer funds, did its best this last week to make sure the world knows about where its money goes, too. Think news of Komens defunding just leaked out accidentally? Dont bet on it. Note to self: when slighted, dont get even. Get donations. In any case, the best-known breast cancer group may have tried to make nice with the best-known womens health group but that doesnt mean that the dust has settled or that all the questions raised in the kick-up have been answered. If nothing else, the ap over funding shows us how little the average person is told or seeks out about where their efforts to do good actually goes. When Komen yanked its funding to Planned Parenthood, Komen couldnt do much to stop the sea of backlash with paltry-sounding explanations about new grant guidelines and possible investigations. It didnt matter to the thousands of people who bought into the goal hook, line and sinker. They wrote the checks, they tied the ribbons, they ran the races, they cheered on others and they kept their ngers crossed that every dollar equaled at least one woman less receiving a diagnosis. Many of these women were appalled to think Komen would risk womens health, specically the women who beneted from Planned Parenthoods care because they had few if any other options, over political bickering. In full disclosure, I count myself among the head-shaking masses who wonder why some cant separate Planned Parenthoods other programs from the small fraction of abortions it provides. Yet I am not naive and know a portion of those aghast by the situation do not share those opinions. For that crowd, the shock is not that Komen pulled its money but that the group ever gave any to Planned Parenthood at all. For them, returning the funds now adds insult to injury. Fair to say, nobody is happy. The issue then is, do any of them have the right to be angry? Should those who have helped make Susan G. Komen a household name have the unequivocal prerogative to dictate where it directs its money? Or, when one donates to a charitable group does he or she enter into an unspoken agreement of trust that it will do the right thing whatever that right thing is supposed to be? The solution is obviously proactive transparency on the part of the organization and a lot of selfeducation on the part of the donors. Where do they get their money and where does it go to? What are their grant policies? What are the political leanings of the higher-ups? How specically is the money used? For instance, some argue that the money Komen gave Planned Parenthood went for screenings rather than mammograms. How important is that distinction? Komen is not the rst charitable group to come under scrutiny and it wont be the last although frankly those public microscopes tend to focus on scal abuses or a disproportionate amount of money spent on administrative costs versus research. The restorm, the Facebook campaigns and the reactions both knee-jerk and thoughtful will eventually calm or be overshadowed by the next public relations faux pas. Still, those who remain fuming over the perceived deception on any side of the scufe the pro-lifers, the pro-choicers, the survivors, the supporters, the everybody else in between must gure out what to do next. Komen must take a breath and do the same. Just as its supporters assumed Komen was doing what they wanted it to do, Komen assumed its backers would stand by. At worst, this hard-learned lesson will dismantle the good Komen has done despite its missteps. At best, the publicity has ripped off the rose (or is that pink?) colored glasses slipped on alongside the ribbons.

Bicycle transportation hassles
Editor, For over 15 years, Ive been commuting from San Francisco to Menlo Park using a combination of Caltrain and bicycle transportation, and Ive seen it all. I originally brought my bicycle on the newly added bicycle cars, but switched to locking my bike outside the 22nd Street station to avoid the stress resulting from getting bumped on my return home. As bike thefts increased there, I tried to nd a locker-box at Fourth and King streets, but they were too difcult to attain. Warm Planets Bikes is by far the best option Ive ever had to park my bike, condent that itll be there when I return. Ive used them for general, annual maintenance and at tire replacement, nding nothing more convenient and helpful than to have your bike repaired while youre at work and ready to go upon your return. If Warm Planets Bikes disappears, I will likely be forced back to bringing my bike on the train, further crowding bike cars and leading to more bumped cyclists. Caltrain should provide the interim funding needed in the short term to keep the doors of Warm Planet Bikes open. never be elected in the rst place, not even in a blue moon. But, as the song goes Its only a paper moon, ... but if you believe in me. Besides appealing to the gullible, does he realize that such a project would have to involve government, which he dislikes so much and he would delight in shutting down if given the chance? Not a chance, nutty Newt! Maureen Gardella in, Romneys tax rate, in the Feb.1 edition of the Daily Journal and especially Christopher P. Conway who wrote, Romneys tax rate, in the Jan. 30 edition of the Daily Journal, the definition of capital gains tax is: a tax on capital gains, the profit realized on the sale of non-inventory asset that was purchased at a lower price; the tax levied on gains realized from the sale or exchange of capital assets. In other words, Conway is completely wrong in his definition of capital gains tax. More importantly, Romney did not pay taxes twice on the $21 million he claimed on his tax return. Most likely what happened was, Bain Capital, of which Romney is a co-founder/co-owner/co-investor, purchased a company, lets say for $25 million. Then, Bain restructured the company at a cost of $15 million, for a total investment of $40 million. Then, Bain sold the restructured company for $100 million, thus, realizing a profit of $60 million. This profit was then divided up by the co-owners, with Romneys share of the profits as $21 million. Romney is then taxed at the capital gains tax rate of 13.6 percent of the $21 million. The $21 million is considered new money as it came from the buyer of the restructured company Bain owned. The $21 million is not taxed twice. The $21 million is considered a profit. It is also considered income if Romney doesnt reinvest the money with Bain, but instead, uses it to finance his presidential campaign. In that case, Romney should be paying a higher income tax rate like the rest of us. If we are to discuss legal terms, lets discuss them honestly and correctly.

The old days

Editor, Long ago, I recall watching an infomercial in which the snake oil salesman was belittling his father for saying, We cant afford that and living in poverty, until he went out on his own and started to follow his own strategy: how can we afford that then became prosperous. This is the conundrum of our current government. The Tea Party and Republicans are saying We cant afford that, Obama is saying, How can we not afford that, and Mitt is saying, Im going to build the worlds biggest army while loving ring workers. Like his dad, his foreign policy experience is depressing; he just isnt good at this profession. Newt is going to the moon, without saying how theyre going to afford it. Why would we want to go back to those depressing days of supply-side economics and war? We are better off now than we were four years ago.

Travelers Cos. Inc. led the Dow lower with a 1.3 percent loss. In other trading, the Standard & Poors 500 index slipped 0.57 of a point to 1,344.33. The Nasdaq composite fell 3.67 points to 2,901.99. Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, thinks investors are starting to wonder if the stock markets recent stretch of calm trading is a prelude to a big drop. Trading has turned subdued compared with the wild swings of 2011. The S&P has closed up or down by more than 1 percent only three times this year. In December, that happened nine times. I look at it like a very-low-tide warning of an impending tsunami, Stovall said. Were setting ourselves up for a decline, the sort of decline that would make you sit up and take notice. Large gains in the market, like the Dows 156-point surge Friday, are often followed by relatively modest moves as traders pull some of their winnings off the table. Since 1950, whenever the S&P rose by 1 percent or more in a trading day, the index has inched up an average of just 0.1 percent the next day, according to S&P Capital IQ.

NEW YORK Stock indexes closed slightly lower Monday as talks dragged on between Greek political leaders over a fresh cost-cutting package required for the country to get more bailout loans. On an otherwise quiet day, energy stocks were among the few to rise. Exxon Mobil, Chevron and Schlumberger each rose 1 percent. President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned Greek leaders that they need to push through the measures or risk letting the country go bankrupt. Greece is hoping the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the European Commission will release a second installment of $170 billion in loans. Without that money, Greece will likely default when a bond repayment comes due March 20. In Greece, talks between the prime minister and leaders of parties backing his coalition government were postponed for a day, even as European leaders prodded the government to push through new spending cuts, layoffs and other austerity measures. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 17.10 points to close at 12,845.13.

Tech company move boosts S.F. mayors branding push
SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco Mayor Ed Lees effort to brand the city as the worlds high-tech capital is getting a boost as cloud-computing company Riverbed Technology Inc. announced its new downtown headquarters. The mayor said Monday the companys move to the renovated 168,000-square-foot space could bring more than 600 new tech jobs to the city. Riverbed plans to move into its new ofces in the South of Market neighborhood in 2014. It has signed a 10-year lease. Since his successful effort last year to persuade Twitter Inc. to stay in San Francisco, Lee has cultivated an image as a techfriendly politician eager to present the city as a Silicon Valley alternative. The citys 7.6-percent unemployment rate is below the national average, helped by its thriving tech scene.
Corporate profits are not what they seem

By Bernard Condon
NEW YORK Is the great prot engine of corporate America running out of steam? While other parts of the economy struggled the past two years, large companies managed to rack up higher prots quarter after quarter. Now reality is catching up with big business. As companies close their books on the nal three months of last year, the big ones in the Standard & Poors 500 stock index appear likely to earn about $230 billion. That would be $12.6 billion more than a year earlier. But the increase, 5.8 percent, is less than half the speed at which quarterly prots grew the rst nine months of 2011, and one-fth the speed they have grown since the beginning of 2010. Whats more, almost all the prot growth comes from two companies, one of them among Americas most favorite, the other among its most hated Apple and the bailed-out insurance company AIG. Take away those two companies and prots for the remaining 498 are expected to grow a measly 1.1 percent, according to FactSet, a provider of nancial data. The immediate future looks no better. For this quarter, which ends March 31, prots for the S&P 500 are expected to be up about 1 percent from the year before. And thats with Apple and AIG thrown in. Were the economy to sustain a shock, this makes us more vulnerable, says Barry Knapp, chief U.S. stock strategist at Barclays Capital. In a report Thursday highlighting unusually weak results so far, Goldman Sachs strategist David Kostin noted that stock analysts have been cutting their estimates for what S&P companies will make for all of 2012.
Verizon to set up streaming video service with Redbox

By Peter Svensson
NEW YORK Phone company Verizon Communications Inc. will challenge Netix and start a video streaming service this year with Redbox and its DVD rental kiosks. Verizon and Coinstar Inc., Redboxs parent company, said Monday that the service will be national and available to nonVerizon customers as well. It adds another dimension to Verizons quest to become a force in home entertainment, and it looks set to compete to some extent with the cable-TV services it already sells. Unlike competing services from Amazon.com Inc. and WalMart Stores Inc., the new service will combine Internet delivery of movies with DVDs, the way Netix does. Dish Network Corp. also offers a similar bundle through its Blockbuster subsidiary. Specific details and pricing of the new plan werent announced.

PAL soccer forfeits, ejections raise concerns

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It was another busy week in an already busy season for Peninsula Athletic League commissioner Terry Stogner, and to a greater extent, the Central Coast Section, when it comes to soccer. Last week, the Sequoia boys soccer team was forced to forfeit games against Carlmont and Woodside during the last week of January
for using an ineligible player. Eligibility is a school issue, Stogner said. Each school is responsible for their own grades. When a violation is discovered, they report it to the Central Coast Section. Carlmont and Woodside got letters from Sequoia describing what happened. The two forfeit losses dropped Sequoia into sixth place in the PAL Bay Division standings with a 3-4-3 record, pushing both Carlmont and Burlingame ahead of the Cherokees in the
standings. Woodside also picked up points in the standings. Stogner said issues of eligibility and ejections on the eld or court are dealt with between the schools and CCS. Stogner said, as commissioner, he is kept in the loop, but ultimately any sanctioning comes from CCS. Alerting the rest of the PAL to the forfeits was the easy part last week. Making things more difcult was the increasingly intense rivalry between the Carlmont and Burlingame
boys soccer squads, and to a larger extent, rough play throughout CCS. During Fridays match between the two, seven yellow cards and a red card were distributed between the two teams, which ultimately led to a postmatch ght between players from the two schools. According to Stogner, Carlmont athletic director Patrick Smith and Burlingame coach

Super Bored
ts ofcial. Sundays Super Bowl festivities were boring. How can I make this proclamation? Because my brother said as such. Neil is not a diehard sports fan. Like a lot of people, he is a casual fan who pays attention to the big events in sports: World Series, NBA nals, Super Bowl. He called me Monday morning and after exchanging greetings, the rst thing he said was, What a boring game. Its hard to disagree. From the lackluster game to the equally boring Madonna halftime show to the bevy of forgettable commercials, it was one of the more anemic Super Bowls in recent memory despite the fact early numbers indicate it was the secondmost watched Super Bowl of all time. Not even the New York Giants game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter did it for me. Maybe it was because I didnt have a strong rooting interest. Maybe it was because we had seen this game before in Super Bowl 42. Maybe is was because there were no real signicant moments during the game. Whatever the reason, I just couldnt get into Sundays game. If my brother wasnt swayed to say it was a great game, it probably wasnt.

With one more win on the basketball court in this, the nal week of the Peninsula Athletic League regular season, a couple of teams can start printing out their Division Champion Tshirts. After an eye-opening preseason run, the El Camino boys team backed up impressive wins against a pair of West Catholic Athletic League opponents by running through the PAL Bay Division nearly unblemished. At 7-1, one more win gives the Colts their rst division title since they win 10-0 in 20082009. To do so, El Camino must beat either Woodside or Hillsdale, who are a combined 79 in division play. A monumental slip-up by the Colts would open the window for either Burlingame or
Mills who, at 5-3, sit two games back with two games to play. The Panthers will take on the Knights on Wednesday while Mills will travel to Jefferson and face the Indians for the second time in 12 days. Wins by both teams would set up a battle for the No. 2 seed in next weeks PAL tournament (which means tourney favorite El Camino until the championship match Feb. 18 at Sequoia High School). Also trying to lock up an outright division title and a rst-round bye is Ocean Division leader Half Moon Bay. At 7-1, the Cougars have a one game lead in the standings with Aragon nipping at their heels. Half Moon Bay can lock up the championship with a win over either a 1-7 Westmoor club or a victory at South City on Friday night.
OAKLAND The Oakland Raiders didnt look far to nd a defensive coordinator. The Raiders on Monday hired Stanfords Jason Tarver, who helped shape one of the Pac-12s top defenses while serving as codefensive coordinator and overseeing the linebackers under rookie head coach David Shaw last season. Tarver had spent the previous decade as a 49ers assistant, including the nal six seasons (2005-2010) coaching the outside linebackers. After the 49ers hired Jim Harbaugh, Tarver went back to the college ranks to team with

Contador stripped Shayne Skov arrested for DUI of 2010 Tour title
GENEVA Three days after U.S. prosecutors dropped their investigation of doping claims against Lance Armstrong, fellow Tour de France champion Alberto Contador was stripped of his 2010 title when sports highest court rejected the Spanish cyclists story that contaminated meat caused him to fail a drug test. The 29-year-old Contador, who also won the Tour in 2007 and 09, tested positive for clenbuterol during a Tour rest day in July 2010. Contadors ban was backdated to Jan. 25, 2011 making him eligible to return on Aug. 6. Unlike certain other countries, notably outside Europe, Spain is not Alberto known to have a contamiContador nation problem with clenbuterol in meat, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said in its ruling. Furthermore, no other cases of athletes having tested positive to clenbuterol allegedly in connection with the consumption of Spanish meat are known. Contador had been thought likely to challenge Armstrongs record of seven career Tour victories. Instead, he joins Floyd Landis as the only riders stripped of their Tour titles after testing positive for banned performanceenhancing drugs. Andy Schleck of Luxembourg is now in line to take Contadors 2010 title. The CAS verdict in Lausanne, Switzerland, was delivered 566 days after Contador cycled triumphantly along the Champs dElysees in
Paris. The ruling came after Armstrongs own lengthy legal ght ended Friday, with U.S. federal authorities dropping an investigation into alleged doping involving his Tour teams. Cyclings governing body, which had joined the World Anti-Doping Agency in forcing Contador into court, said it took no satisfaction from upholding its ght against drug cheats. This is a sad day for our sport, International Cycling Union president Pat McQuaid said in a statement. Some may think of it as a victory, but that is not at all the case. There are no winners when it comes to the issue of doping: every case, irrespective of its characteristics, is always a case too many. The case had been expected to pit Contadors meat contamination defense against a UCI-WADA argument that the drug was present in the cyclists system because he had used banned blood transfusions. Yet a three-man CAS panel seemed to reach its own conclusion, nding that the presence of clenbuterol, which is sometimes used by farmers to fatten their livestock, was more likely caused by a contaminated food supplement. The CAS ruling upheld appeals by the UCI and WADA, which challenged a Spanish cycling tribunals decision last year to exonerate Contador. To avoid a doping ban, Contador needed to prove how the anabolic drug entered his body and convince the arbitrators he was not to blame. Spains national association of cattle farmers said it had been vindicated by the CAS ruling after having come under scrutiny following false accusations.
Shayne Skor
STANFORD Stanford linebacker Shayne Skov was arrested and jailed last weekend for driving under the inuence. A Stanford University Department of Public Safety spokesman says Skov was arrested for driving under the inuence Sunday at about 2
a.m. The incident, first reported by The Stanford Daily student newspaper Monday night, occurred on campus. Stanford coach David Shaw says Skovs arrest is a matter were taking very seriously and Skov will be responsible to adhere to any legal responsibilities regarding this event along with ramications which will be determined by the program. Skov led the Cardinal with 84 tackles and had 7 1/2 sacks two years ago. He tore a ligament in his left knee at Arizona in the third game of the 2011 season, sideling him for the year.
Giants return home

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Smiles were the order of the day, as the Super Bowlchampion New York Giants returned home, victorious once again. The teams charter plane from Indianapolis touched down around 1:55 p.m. Monday at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. Several players saluted the crowd as they departed the aircraft, and some used cameras and video recorders to capture the moment and the scene. Coach Tom Coughlin also had a big smile as he waved to the crowd. Once on the ground, the players, coaches and team ofcials were greeted by several hundred airport employees and a Port Authority bagpipe band. Crews also red water cannons to salute the team while the plane taxied to a hangar. The players then took buses to the teams headquarters in East Rutherford, where thousands of fans lined the gates waiting to catch a glimpse of the champions. At around 2:15 p.m., a caravan of ve char-
tered buses pulled up to the gate at the Timex Performance Center. The first bus had Coughlin sitting in the front seat, waving to the cheering fans. When all ve buses made it safely inside, the players started to lter out and to their own vehicles. Wide receiver Mario Manningham and defensive end Justin Tuck came over to the fence to greet the cheering fans, offering handshakes and high ves. Every time we came into the huddle, we just tried to take it one play at a time, Tuck said later Monday, in an interview on WFAN. It was just another team effort. We were so focused. Tight end Jake Ballard was spotted coming off the bus, donning crutches to help him maneuver with his injured right knee. He managed to smile and wave to the adoring fans. Defensive end Dave Tollefson heard chants of D-Line, D-Line from the crowd and pumped his st into the air. But there were two key components missing: the Vince Lombardi Trophy and Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning.

INDIANAPOLIS Less than an hour after losing the Super Bowl again, Tom Brady slowly slipped on his dark vest and suit jacket and walked to the postgame podium. The next time he puts on his New England Patriots uniform, he hopes to start another, more successful, run toward the NFL championship. Ill keep coming to this game and keep trying, the quarterback said. Id rather come to this game and lose than not get here. He and the Patriots have been there ve times in the last 11 years. But their 21-17 loss
on Sunday night was their second straight to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. Brady won his rst 10 postseason games and three Super Bowls with the Patriots. Since then theyre 6-6 in the postseason with a seven-year drought since their last championship. Now what? Some of the biggest issues facing the Patriots this offseason is whether to re-sign Wes Welker, who to take with their two draft choices in the rst round and two in the second and how to build a mediocre defense and an inconsistent running game.

agrees that his player lost his cool and in no way condones what his player did. He does, however, have a bigger issue with what he perceived to be a lack of control on the part of the games referee. Sharabi said at least one of his players complained to the referee about a Carlmont player spitting on him. He also questioned why no Carlmont bench players were ejected for coming onto the eld in the aftermath of his players foul that led to the red card. Following the foul right in front of the Carlmont bench, several players jumped up and entered the fray. Whether they were just trying to separate everyone or were actively trying to get after the Burlingame player, Sharabi said anyone coming off the bench and entering the eld during a skirmish is to be ejected. Their bench came onto the eld (in the wake of the foul). If any player steps on the eld, its an automatic ejection, Sharabi said. He (the referee) just let that slide. It was just one of those games that got out of hand. It just came down to the ref not controlling the game. Im not a basketball coach. I cant ings. If the Cherokees can beat a 2-5 Capuchino team, they can do no worse than a share of the title. If Sequoia wants to win it outright, Oceana stands in their way. In the Bay Division, an undefeated Terra Nova team has already locked up their fth straight division title. The No. 2 seed in the girls PAL tournament is still up for grabs San Mateo and Mills are battling for that. Mills visits Menlo-Atherton and hosts Burlingame for Senior Night. San Mateo will on the road this week, visiting Half Moon Bay and the Bears. call a time out and tell my guys, Lets calm down and get our composure. The ejection and subsequent postgame scrum leads to a bigger concern about the lack of control of soccer players and possibly the coaches throughout CCS. Stogner said he has received notication of more than three dozen ejections in both boys and girls soccer in the PAL alone this season. I got nine ejection (reports) this weekend, Stogner said. Were over 36 ejections this year. Were running average to what is running in CCS. Its a sad state that the game has gotten to this point. There is tremendous concern about it. Both Sharabi and Carlmonts Smith appear to have the right mind-set regarding control of players. Smith said he plans to address the varsity team before Wednesdays game against San Mateo, Just to re-emphasize what theyre supposed to be doing out there, he said. Said Sharabi: Its just a disappointing situation. Its not about wins and losses. Its about teaching these boys right and wrong. games back and SHP is three back with four games left to play.

Mike Sharabi, no further discipline appears to be coming from the postgame scrum. Stogner said the report he received indicates no further ejections or suspensions are forthcoming. Sharabi has not heard any further punishment pending from CCS. Nothing Ive heard thus far, Sharabi said. Sharabi, who was a member of the last Burlingame team to win a CCS title in 1997, said the rivalry between Burlingame and Carlmont has always been heated, but it never crossed the line. There were situations just like this (when I played), Sharabi said. It was a heated rivalry and it always has been. Rivalries are great. You play hard but you leave it on the eld. A Burlingame player was ejected from that game and he now faces a onegame suspension because of it. Sharabi

Djokovic, Barcelona win at 2012 Laureus awards
LONDON Novak Djokovic won the top individual honor at the 2012 Laureus Sports Awards on Monday, and Barcelona captured the team prize. The top-ranked Djokovic won sportsman of the year at the ceremony in London, one week after the Serbian triumphed at the Australian Open to become the fth man in the Open era to win three Grand Slam titles in a row. Barcelona was recognized as the best team after a stellar 2011 in which Pep Guardiolas players won the Spanish league and Champions League. Novak Djokovic Kenyan distance runner Vivian Cheruiyot, winner of the 5,000- and 10,000-meter titles at the world championships last year, took the sportswomans award. Darren Clarke was honored with the comeback of the year award. The 43-year-old Northern Irishman won his rst golf major by capturing the British Open at Royal St. Georges last year. Compatriot Rory McIlroy won the breakthrough of the year award for the 22-year-olds eight-shot win at the U.S. Open at Congressional, becoming the second-youngest player to win a major since 1934.
BALL
The Dons will await a slip-up, but theyll have to take care of business against Menlo-Atherton and Carlmont, who are combined 5-11 in Ocean play. The surprise of the PAL resides on Delaware Street though. Its there that the Bearcats have all but locked up a Lake Division title. San Mateo went 5-9 in the preseason but has followed it up with a 5-1 mark in the Lake. The Bearcats need one more win and even if they were to lose out (highly unlikely with a game against an 0-6 Oceana team on Tuesday), they can do no worse than a tie for the title. And for that to hold true, Terra Nova would have to win out their games (the last being a game against the Bearcats at home). In girls action, the Ocean and Lake divisions hold similar scenarios. Aragon is one win away and can lock up the Ocean with a win against Jefferson (4-4) or Carlmont (1-7). Hoping the Dons will lose both is Westmoor, who needs victories against El Camino and the Indians, along with one Aragon loss, to pick up a share of the division title. In the Lake Division, Sequoia is a half game ahead of Hillsdale of the stand-

The most exciting game in the Peninsula is back Thursday night when Serra hosts St. Ignatius in the annual Jungle Game. Its a big game for Serra, who is holding on to second place in the WCAL, one game behind Archbishop Mitty with two to play. The Wildcats are 3-7 and are coming off a week where its entire team came down with the norovirus and its players reportedly throwing up on their home basketball court. Serra will close out its regular season with a game against 2-10 Valley Christian. The Padres are looking for a break in the form of a Monarchs loss against either V.C. or Sacred Heart Cathedral the latter being the more feasible of the two. In girls action, Notre Dame-Belmont will see their rough season come to an end. The Tigers are 0-10 in WCAL play and close out their year against an 8-1 St. Ignatius team, and a Senior Night matchup against 1-9 Valley Christian.

Mercy-Burlingame will play their biggest game of the year Thursday night when they tangle with Castilleja, who sits in rst place of the Skyline Division.

from the Colts to replace Alex Smith. Why? To whom is he going to throw the ball? As it stands, San Francisco has one of the worst receiving corps in the NFL. *** I used to think NBC color analyst Cris Collinsworth was one of the best in the business. Apparently I dont watch or listen to him enough on the Sunday Night Football broadcasts on NBC, because he seems to be the master of overexaggeration. Before kickoff, he made two statements: if New England wins, it cements Tom Brady and Bill Belichick as the greatest quarterback-coach combination in Super Bowl history. I, however, counter with Joe Montana and Bill Walsh, who went 3-0 together and, more importantly, never lost a Super Bowl together. Collinsworth went on to say if the New York Giants won, it all but guaranteed a place in the Hall of Fame for Eli Manning. My argument: if Jim Plunkett, who won two Super Bowls with the Raiders is not in the Hall of Fame, then Manning still has some work to do. Late in the game, Collinsworth added these two gems: Following a missed catch by New Englands Wes Welker, He makes that catch 100 out of 100 times. Uh, Cris? He dropped it. Al Michaels quipped, That must be 101. And then on Manninghams sideline catch on the game-winning drive, Collinsworth Just last offseason, cornerback Stanford Routt, linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, defensive tackle Richard Seymour and safety Michael Huff received contracts worth more than $160 million combined. That quartet joined former top 10 pick Rolando McClain, who signed a $40 million, ve-year deal when he was drafted in 2010; and defensive tackle Tommy Kelly, who just nished the fourth year of a $50.5 million, seven-year contract, on one of the leagues most expensive defenses. The Raiders joined this years Tampa Bay team as one of the four teams to allow at least 30 TD passes and 5.0 yards per carry in a season, a distinction last reached by the 1952 said something to the effect that the catch will go down in history. Maybe for Giants fans, but that catch is probably not even in the top 10 of all-time great Super Bowl catches. Former Pittsburgh Steelers star Lynn Swann has at least four on that list that I can think of right off the top of my head. Add in John Taylors game-winning catch against the Bengals and David Tyrees helmet catch, and that is six of 10 right there. Just call the game, Cris, and leave the history calls to the fans. *** Sundays game will go down as one of the worst, commercial wise, in a long time. Bud Light introducing a new top-shelf beer? Its still watered down Bud Light. All the talk of Adriana Limas two spots? Meh. Does Go Daddy still think its ads are provocative? To me, the commercial winners of the day belonged to Doritos and Bridgestone Tires. The tortilla chip companys rst one, with the dog bribing his owner with a bag of chips after he was caught burying the cat, was a bit morbid but funny. The second, with the baby in the bouncing swing, snatching the bag from his taunting brother, was also amusing. Bridgestone, in showing how grippy its tires were, used Troy Aikman throwing a ball made of the companys rubber, curveballing its way to a receiver was clever, as was the Steve Nash quietly dribbling a ball during the sleeping baby test was also funny. Dallas Texans. The Raiders, who nished 8-8 last season, also became the sixth team since the 1970 merger to allow at least 2,000 yards rushing and 4,000 yards passing in a season. That prompted new general manager Reggie McKenzie to re Hue Jackson after one season as coach and hire Dennis Allen, the former Denver Broncos defensive coordinator. Allen and Tarver will share the task of fixing two long-standing problems on defense: stopping the run and reducing penalties. The Raiders set an NFL record last season with 163 penalties for 1,358 yards. The 37-year-old Tarver received his bachelors degree in chemistry from Santa Clara in

Other than that, most of the ads were forgettable. *** When is a Hall of Famer not a Hall of Famer? When you have to go and check their stats. Saturday, the NFL announced the 2012 Hall of Fame class, led by former running back Curtis Martin. Huh? I had to go and check his stats: No. 4 all time rushing, but not one Super Bowl title. Good numbers, but absolutely no buzz or pizzazz. Meanwhile, Charles Haley, the only player with ve rings and one of the most intimidating defensive ends of his era, was left out, as was former San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr., who was the rst owner to win ve Super Bowls. Also left out was Bill Parcells, who may have the second-best coaching tree behind only Walsh. If you have to look up a players stats or dont automatically think of them as a Hall of Famer, theyre probably not. The media members who voted missed the boat on this one. 1997. He also earned his masters degree in biochemistry and molecular biology from UCLA and the departmental prize for distinguished teaching in 1998 and 2000. Under the tutelage of Tarver and Mason, Stanfords defense ranked either rst or second in the Pac-12 in eight categories last season. That included rst in total defense (331.4 yards) and rushing defense (107.8 yards) per game in the offense-oriented league. Stanford also lost 53-30 at home to Oregon, costing the program a shot at the Pac-12 and BCS championships. The Cardinal nished with an 11-2 record, including a 41-38 overtime loss in the Fiesta Bowl to Oklahoma State.

If there is one thing to take away from the NFL conference nals and the Super Bowl, its this: potent wide receiver corps makes all the difference in the world. Sure, a running game is nice, as is a ferocious defense, and the evolution of the tight end position. But a look at the numbers from the seminals and nals shows the Giants group of receivers to be the deciding factor. In games against Green Bay, San Francisco and New England, the Giants trio of Victor Cruz, Mario Manningham and Hakeem Nicks combined for 46 catches, 691 yards and ve touchdowns. Compare those numbers to those of their three opponents: 23 catches, 269 yards and one touchdown. Granted, it helps to have quarterback like Eli Manning throwing the ball to them, but Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers and New Englands Tom Brady are hardly slouches, and the Packers have one of the best group of pass catchers in the business. Yet New York trumped them all. Yet there is all this talk on sports radio about the 49ers trying to get Peyton Manning

Super Bowl draws record 111.3M viewers on NBC
NEW YORK For the third consecutive year, the Super Bowl set a record as the most-watched television show in U.S. history. The Nielsen Co. said Monday that an estimated 111.3 million people watched the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots on Sunday night. That narrowly beat the 111 million who watched Green Bays win over Pittsburgh last year. NBC was blessed by a competitive game between two teams that played in one of the Super Bowls most memorable contests four years ago, with one of them representing the largest media market in the country. The game wasnt over until Tom Bradys last-second heave into the end zone dropped onto the turf. That play itself had the biggest audience of any play in the game, according to the digital video recorder maker Tivo. Nielsen said 117.7 million people were watching during the last half hour of the game. The last two Super Bowls, along with the 2010 game between New Orleans and Indianapolis and the nale of M-A-S-H in 1983, are the only programs to exceed 100 million viewers in U.S. television history. Madonna has some bragging rights, too. Her halftime show was seen by an estimated 114 million people a higher average than the game itself and was the mostwatched Super Bowl halftime entertainment show on record.

Norway mass killer demands medal at court hearing
OSLO, Norway The rightwing extremist who has admitted killing 77 people in Norways worst peacetime massacre told a court Monday that he deserves a medal of honor for the bloodand Anders Breivik shed demanded to be set free. Anders Behring Breivik smirked as he was led in to the Oslo district court, handcuffed and dressed in a dark suit, for his last scheduled detention hearing before the trial starts in April. He stretched out his arms in what his lawyer Geir Lippestad called some kind of right-wing extremist greeting. Reading from prepared remarks, the 32-year-old Norwegian told the court that the July 22 massacre carried out with a bomb, a rifle and a handgun was a strike against traitors who he said are embracing immigration to promote an Islamic colonization of Norway.
U.S. closes Syrian embassy

Iraqs al-Qaida claims two deadly attacks on Shiites

BAGHDAD An al-Qaida front group in Iraq has claimed responsibility for the two deadliest attacks on Shiites since the U.S. military completed its withdrawal last month, underlining an escalating sectarian security and political crisis that threatens to drive the country toward civil war. A surge in attacks since the U.S. pullout has killed more than 200 people last month and raised fears of a reprise of a conflict five years ago that was close to all-out civil war. And now, there are no American troops to act as a buffer between Sunnis and Shiites.
BEIRUT The U.S. closed its embassy in Syria and Britain recalled its ambassador to Damascus on Monday in a new Western push to get President Bashar Assad to leave power and halt the murderous grind in Syria now among the deadliest conicts of the Arab Spring. Although the diplomatic effort was stymied at the U.N. by vetoes from Russia and China, the moves by the U.S. and Britain were a clear message that Western powers see no point in engaging with Assad and now will seek to bolster Syrias opposition. This is a doomed regime as well as a murdering regime, British Foreign Secretary William Hague told lawmakers as he recalled his countrys ambassador from Syria. There is no way it can recover its credibility internationally. President Barack Obama said the Syrian leaders departure is only a matter of time. We have been relentless in sending a message that it is time for Assad to go, Obama said during an inter-

view with NBC. This is not going to be a matter of if, its going to be a matter of when. The most serious violence Monday was reported in Homs, where Syrian government forces, using tanks and machine guns, shelled a makeshift medical clinic and residential areas on the third day of a relentless assault, killing a reported 40 people, activists said. More than a dozen others were reported killed elsewhere.
U.S. levies sanctions Palestinians take on Irans Central Bank step toward unity
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama levied tough new sanctions on Irans Central Bank Monday amid increased tensions over Tehrans nuclear program and the specter of an Israeli attack on the Islamic republic. In a letter to Congress, Obama
said more sanctions were warranted, particularly in light of the deceptive practices of the Central Bank of Iran and other Iranian banks. He said the problems included the hiding of transactions of sanctioned parties, the deciencies of Irans anti-money laundering regime and the unacceptably high risk posed to the entire international nancial system posed by Irans activities.

RAMALLAH, West Bank After months of wavering, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas took a decisive step Monday toward reconciliation with the Islamic militant group Hamas, a move Israel promptly warned would close the door to
any future peace talks. In a deal brokered by Qatar, Abbas will head an interim unity government to prepare for general elections in the Palestinian territories in the coming months. The agreement appeared to bring reconciliation key to any statehood ambitions within reach for the rst time since the two sides set up rival Palestinian governments in the West Bank and Gaza in 2007.

A push for family input to detect dementia

By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON Alexis McKenzies mother had mild dementia, but things sounded OK when she phoned home: Dad was with her, nishing his wifes sentences as they talked about puttering through the day and a drive to the store. Then their phone service was cut off. I mailed that check, McKenzies father insisted. No, hed mailed the phone company a bank deposit slip instead. McKenzie visited and discovered spoiling food. Dad the caregiver was in trouble, too. Dementia can sneak up on families. Its sufferers are pretty adept at covering lapses early on, and spouses are sometimes there to compensate. Doctors too frequently are fooled as well. Now specialists are pushing for the first National Alzheimers Plan to help overcome this barrier to early detection, urging whats called dementia-capable primary care, more screenings for warning signs and regular checks of caregivers own physical and mental health. For a doctor to ask someone with brewing dementia, How are you? isnt enough, says Dr. Laurel Coleman, a geriatric physician at Maine Medical Center who is part of a federal advisory coun-
cil tackling the issue. So often I hear, The doctor only asks my mom how she is. She says ne and its over, says Coleman. Thats not dementia-capable, or dementia-aware, primary care. Family input should be mandatory, she told a recent council meeting. Its the only way to know if the person really is eating and taking her medicines as she claims, and not forgetting to turn off the stove. The question is how to square that input with patient condentiality, especially if the person never led the legal forms clearing family members to intervene, as happened with McKenzie. Plus, regularly seeking that input takes more time than the typical 15minute visit and is poorly reimbursed, notes Coleman. But she says more primary-care physicians are starting to be trained in dementias challenges. More than 5 million Americans are estimated to have Alzheimers or similar forms of dementia, although as many as half may not be formally diagnosed. With the rapidly aging population, the toll is projected to reach up to 16 million by 2050. The Obama administration is drafting a national strategy to try to slow that coming avalanche with research aiming for some effective treatments by 2025 plus nd ways for struggling families to better cope today.
Step 1 is earlier detection. McKenzie directs an Alzheimers assisted-living facility in Washington, so she knows about dementia. Still, it took some sleuthing to determine how much her 82-year-old parents, living a few hours away in Maryland, were deteriorating. She says her father refused any assistance in caring for her mother, and together the couple put up such a good front that even their regular physician hadnt realized their shared answers to standard check-up questions How are you eating? Has anything changed? simply werent true. Its almost as if theyre sharing a brain. Thats how they get through a day, McKenzie says. Sure, dementia patients stories can be believable. It happens in doctors ofces all the time, says Beth Kallmyer, vice president of constituent services at the Alzheimers Association. Thats why its crucial that family members are part of the screening process. The diseased brain may not be able to pull up a recent memory, but longer-term memories remain, she explains. So an intricate description of, say, cooking last nights dinner may ring true because it was a real dinner, just not last nights. And a long-married couple in a familiar routine and surroundings

Molly Munger, a wealthy attorney and civil rights advocate from Los Angeles, outlined her proposal in Sacramento to a supportive crowd at a statewide meeting of the California Parent Teacher Association. The PTA helped draft the initiative, which would increase income taxes on a sliding scale and raise $10 billion annually for 12 years. We are going to get this on the ballot and we are going to win, because were prepared to not only get it on the ballot, but be sure that it has a very strong campaign behind it, Munger told reporters after her speech. The political novice, who is the daughter of billionaire Berkshire Hathaway partner Charles Munger, a partner of Warren Buffett, said she is prepared to fund a multimillion-dollar signature-gathering campaign on her own. She already has contributed $800,000 to the initiative. Mungers brother, Charles Munger Jr., is a frequent donor to California Republican causes and has already given his name and money to a measure on the November ballot that would bar unions from collecting dues from members paychecks, dramatically limiting their ability to fund political campaigns. Molly Munger acknowledged their divergent political views. He isnt the first deep pocket that I would go for, let me just put it that way, she said. Also Monday, supporters of a socalled millionaires tax said they were

How to get around the hidden-dementia conundrum?

Medicares new annual wellness visit pays for cognitive screening, simple tests that signal who should be referred for more extensive brain exams. Even if primary-care physicians dont consider themselves experts at evaluating for Alzheimers disease, or dont feel comfortable, they can screen, Kallmyer says. The governments Alzheimers advisers want doctors to steer families toward advanced-care planning, including designating a health care power of attorney, as soon as dementia is diagnosed. Montefiores Kennedy says early diagnosis gives patients a say in how they want to be cared for while theyre still capable of making those decisions. A health care proxy wont be used until the person is quite sick. So Kallmyer advises also signing whats called a release of information allowing the doctor to discuss the persons care with whoever is named right away. Such steps are important, Kennedy says, because advancing dementia leaves people so unaware of their deficits that they can take family or doctor input as an affront. He always asks new patients if he can fill in their loved ones, or invite them in from the waiting room, as a way of starting that conversation. Doctors can violate patient confidentiality if they believe the persons decisions or behavior has become a danger, Kennedy notes. McKenzie says her father would never discuss naming a health care proxy and her parents were furious that shed voiced concerns to their physician. She had to think up nonconfrontational ways to get invited back into their doctor visits: Ill drive you, and then why dont I take notes in case you have any questions later? It turned out that McKenzies father had a non-cancerous brain tumor causing his own gradual dementia symptoms, which started becoming apparent with the phone mix-up, unrefrigerated food and eventually delusions. Finally, she had to go to court to get her parents the care they needed in an assisted living facility near their hometown.
ready to hit the streets with a signature-gathering effort for their own proposal, which would raise income taxes on those who make more than $1 million a year. Brown has warned repeatedly that a general election ballot containing too many similar-sounding tax initiatives could jeopardize the success of all of them. His political allies have tried to persuade those behind the competing initiatives to unify behind their measures. Each of the competing groups said Monday that they believe more than one tax measure could be successful at the ballot and that polls show there could even be enthusiasm for all three. Steven Glazer, a spokesman for Brown, called that a fanciful notion. The governor has displayed political might by raising nearly $2.2 million for his campaign, but the other groups appear unlikely to succumb at this point. Supporters of the millionaires tax include the California Federation of Teachers, the Courage Campaign and the California Nurses Association. On Monday, they held a conference call with reporters to say they are not backing down. Were the one measure that doesnt put an additional burden on the back of middle-class and working-class families, campaign chairman Anthony Thigpen said. Supporters expect to raise the $2 million they will need to get the initiative on this years general election ballot, then another $8 million to $10
million for the campaign, Thigpen said. He said that although he and other members of the coalition have met with Brown, he did not directly ask them to back off. Browns spokesman, Glazer, said it should be clear to everyone that Brown does not want competing tax measures on the ballot in November. Weve made it very clear to them that we would prefer that they not go forward, he said. Supporters of the competing measures oppose the broad-based sales tax in Browns plan, which they said affects those who can least afford to pay more, although the much larger California Teachers Association is supporting Browns plan. The governors proposed initiative would boost the statewide sales tax by half a cent for four years starting in January 2013. It also would raise the income tax rate on those making $250,000 a year, increasing it from 9.3 percent to a maximum of 11.3 percent, depending on the amount of income. The income tax increase would start in January 2013 and last for five years. A recent survey by the Public Policy Institute of California found that likely voters overwhelmingly say they favor raising taxes to pay for K-12 education, but want to do so by raising income taxes on the wealthy and not boosting the state sales tax. Browns spokesman said he believes the governors initiative will have ample funding from a wide coalition of supporters.

Some former Komen supporters cannot forgive and forget

Too many kids breathe smoke in cars: CDC

By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO Texting while driving, speeding and back-seat hanky-panky arent all that parents need to worry about when their kids are in cars: Add secondhand smoke to the list. In the rst national estimate of its kind, a report from government researchers says more than 1 in 5 high school students and middle schoolers ride in cars while others are smoking. This kind of secondhand smoke exposure has been linked with breathing problems and allergy symptoms, and more restrictions are needed to prevent it, the report says. With widespread crackdowns on smoking in public, private places including homes and cars are where people encounter secondhand
smoke these days. Anti-smoking advocates have zeroed in on cars because of research showing theyre potentially more dangerous than smoke-lled bars and other less conned areas. The research, from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was released online Monday in Pediatrics. The study is based on national surveys done at public and private high schools and middle schools. Students were asked how often they rode in cars while someone was smoking within the past week. The most common answer was one or two days. The smoker could mean other kids or parents; the study didnt specify. A CDC fact sheet suggests even small amounts of secondhand smoke can be risky. There is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke, the CDC says. Overall, 22 percent of teens and pre-teens
were exposed to secondhand smoke in cars in 2009, the latest data available. That gure declined gradually during the decade, from 40 percent in 2000, the study found. But still, the numbers of kids still facing the risks is certainly problematic, said CDC researcher Brian King, the studys lead author. The car is the only source of exposure for some of these children, so if you can reduce that exposure, its denitely advantageous for health, King said. The CDC advises parents to not allow smoking in their homes and cars, and says opening a car window will not protect kids from cigarette smoke inside. Measures banning smoking in cars when children are present have been enacted in a handful of states and proposed in several others. The study authors say similar bans should be adopted elsewhere.
NEW YORK When Dorothy Twinney rst saw a Race for the Cure walk for breast cancer a sea of pink traveling through her hometown of Plymouth, Mich. she was so moved she sat in her car and wept. This week, after watching The Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity announce plans to cut funding to Planned Parenthood, then abandon those plans amid a public furor, Twinney decided she was done with the organization for which she raised thousands of dollars on three-day, 60-mile walks that left her feet bloodied and blistered, but her spirits high. It just feels like its all tarnished now, the 41-year-old mother of two said. Honestly, Im not sure what they can do to change that. At weeks end, many longtime Komen supporters were feeling similarly conflicted. Some, depending on where they stood on the hot-button issue of abortion, called it more of a betrayal. Those who supported Komens grants to Planned Parenthood for breast-cancer screenings called the initial move to cut them politically motivated; those opposed to the grants said the same thing about the reversal. The outrage clearly stunned Komen, the countrys most widely known breast cancer organization. I think (Komen) has been horried to be so caught up in this culture war, said Eric Scheidler, executive director of the Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League. Many women described feeling caught in the middle when the Associated Press rst reported on Tuesday that Komen had adopted criteria excluding Planned Parenthood from future breast screening grants because it was the subject of an investigation launched by a Florida congressman at the urging of antiabortion groups. The grants totaled $680,000 in 2011. Alyce Lee-Walker was one of them. A longtime Komen supporter, shed never given money to Planned Parenthood. But when she learned of the funding cut, she immediately went online to donate $188 the 88 signifying good luck in Chinese.

Before delivering her opinion on Biletnikoffs cause of death, Haddix meticulously went through morgue photos of the body with the jury explaining the large number of hemorrhages found in the neck and scalp, how the injuries left her face pink against otherwise pallor and a even line of demarcation around the neck indicated the fatal strangulation was most likely by ligature rather than hands. Haddix pulled the dark T-shirt, still knotted as it was against Biletnikoffs neck, to show jurors how small a circle it made when enclosed. The ligature was so tight Haddix couldnt pass a nger or surgical instrument under the loop to cut it from Biletnikoffs neck the way she would typically during a post-mortem removal, she said. Haddix also testied that the presence of marks on Biletnikoffs chest but not her legs after death could mean she was wearing pants when dragged down the ravine. The prosecution contends Ali purposely tried to stage the crime scene by removing her jeans. Haddixs testimony came after a morning in which members of Alis family were questioned about what he said and how he acted after arriving at his sisters home at approximately midnight following the encounter with Biletnikoff. Ali gave his family and authorities six different stories after the death, ranging from accidentally killing her with an elbow blow to his blacking out while strangling her and denials she was still alive when he switched from manual strangulation to the ligature. His brother-in-law in particular testied through a translator not recalling much about that evening aside from Ali looking a little bit sad and that there had been an accident. His sister didnt ask further about what happened but he said that I dont want to go to jail. Ali remains in custody without bail. The prosecution continues its case today.

ALI
Mohammad Haroon Ali, 36, committed two separate acts. I think they both played a role in her death. I think she was alive at the time the ligature was applied to her neck, Haddix said. District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe wants jurors to believe Ali knowingly wanted his girlfriend to die and, when the rst manual attempt failed, he turned to other means. Alis defense has said the death was a matter of emotional duress and bipolar disorder rather than deliberation and premeditation the difference possibly between rst-degree murder and voluntary manslaughter and a deciding factor on whether Ali returns to prison for up to life or is re-convicted on the lesser charge and nearing release. Ali was already convicted of rstdegree murder in 2001 and sentenced to 60 years to life for that crime and a previous kidnapping. In 2009, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the conviction, ruling that Wagstaffe had improperly removed at least one black individual from the jury pool for racial discrimination reasons. Wagstaffe, now the elected district attorney, maintains the ruling was incorrect and is again helming the prosecution which paints Ali as having killed Biletnikoff, 19, after a drug and alcohol relapse left him worried about his relationship, his job and his freedom from incarceration and deportation. After she died, Biletnikoffs partially nude body was dumped down a ravine at Caada College in Redwood City and Ali later ed to Mexico in her car. He was arrested coming back into the United States. The prosecution has spent the past weeks recreating for jurors how Ali and Biletnikoff, the daughter of former football star Fred Biletnikoff, met in 1997 at respective substance abuse programs that overlapped in San Mateo. Ali was even
named a counselor in Project 90 with access to the group van which he later used to transport her body from the Friendship Hall in San Mateo, where she died, to the ravine. The weekend before her Feb. 15, 1999 death, Biletnikoff spent time with a childhood friend while Ali went drinking in San Francisco and continued on a bender up and down the Peninsula involving alcohol, heroin and cocaine. That Monday, he confessed his relapse to Biletnikoff who drove him from her East Bay home back to Project 90s meeting space at the Friendship Hall. During an approximately hour-long period inside the ofce, Wagstaffe has told jurors Ali was worried Biletnikoff wouldnt hand over her car keys so he could evade a probation drug test the following day. The relapse also meant Ali would have to forfeit his job with Project 90 and start over with the program. Biletnikoff also allegedly told him their relationship was over. But defense attorney Peter Goldscheider has said Ali was pushed by his mental illness, undiagnosed until his imprisonment, and the rejection of another woman who had aborted his child. Goldscheider also told jurors during opening statements that Biletnikoff was dead from the rst strangulation and his client did not tie his shirt around her neck specifically because he knew his goal was incomplete. with RethinkWaste. The next goal is to get the recycling and composting numbers up at larger multi-unit complexes, she said, which lags behind single-family residences in diversion rates. East Palo Alto residents had the biggest increase in residential recycling, a 80.5 percent increase in 2011 compared to 2010 and Atherton had the biggest increase in residential composting at 49.9 percent during the same period with Burlingame being a close second in composting with a 48.2 percent increase. Atherton residents are doing the best job of diverting their garbage at more than 82 percent. Menlo Park is second at about 73 percent. The states goal is to have at least 75 percent of all waste be diverted to compost or recycling by 2020. The current state mandate is 50 percent. People are becoming more environmentally conscious, said Recologys school be changed to serve kindergarten through eighth grade students. When the item came up for a vote in May 2009, parents, administrators and teachers from other schools urged the board to research recongurations equitable for all students, not just one school. This led the board to create a districtwide committee to research potential changes at all schools. By December of the same year, the board had decided to change the elementary and middle school conguration districtwide to send all sixth grade students to Parkside. The vote was contingent on upgrading the middle school. Parkside will start serving the additional grade of students this fall. As a district, San Bruno has previously tackled possibly closing a school in recent history. Between 2000 and 2005, the district experienced a loss of 350 students resulting in conversations about closing
GARBAGE
of San Mateo County. The CartSMART weekly recycle, compost and garbage collection services were launched just more than a year ago after Recology took over the service from Allied Waste. Figures show that Recology hauled more than 75,000 tons of compost in 2011 compared to the 58,000 tons Allied hauled the year before. Recology put in nearly 12,000 tons less garbage into Ox Mountain in 2011 compared to Allieds gures for 2010. The new single-stream blue recycling bins have likely proved more convenient for customers, leading to higher diversion rates, Gasparini said. People are becoming more conscious about the importance of recycling and composting, said Monica Devincenzi
Robert Reed. They are doing the right thing. Not only does recycling and composting help extend the life of landlls, it is also better for the environment, Reed said. Keeping Ox Mountain open as long as possible is a local goal because once it closes the region will have to haul its trash out of the county at a greater expense, Devincenzi said. The customers deserve the credit when they take the individual action of going for the right bin, Reed said. RethinkWaste is comprised of Atherton, Belmont, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Foster City, Hillsborough, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Carlos, San Mateo, the West Bay Sanitary District and unincorporated county areas.

SCHOOL
close was adopted by the board Dec. 12, 2007. Considerations include: the least disruptive option to students and the community; the cost of operating each site; maintenance required for each site; potential revenue generation from closing a site; the change in walking distance for students; possible transportation options; capacity of each site; and effects of reversing a closed school decision and sending students back to their home school. Moving sixth grade students to Parkside was a long process for the community. The district began studying reconguration after parents of children attending Crestmoor Elementary requested the
a school in the 2008-09 school year. Those talks were dropped in late 2007 when enrollment unexpectedly went up by 99 students. Declining enrollment forced the closure of two schools in the 70s. Carl Sandburg Elementary was closed in 1978 and was sold for $30.5 million in 2006. The district leases 20 acres for a driving range on what was once Engvall Middle School at Interstate 280 and Sneath Lane to VB Golf Inc. The District Development Ad Hoc Committee will meet from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 7, Feb. 21, March 13, March 27 and April 3 at the District Ofce, 500 Acacia Ave. in San Bruno. A recommendation will go before the board April 18.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be extremely careful to make sure that the story being retold to you is accurate before you pass it on to anybody else. Youll be blamed if its just a load of bunk.
