WASHINGTON Congressional opponents of Californias high-speed rail proposal are working to ensure that a new highway bill wont include more federal money for the project. The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved legislation Friday that would authorize road, bridge and other transportation projects costing an estimated $260 billion over four-and-ahalf years. Part of the bill included an amendment from Rep. Jeff Denham, a California Republican. The amendment prevents any of the money from being used on the states proposed high-speed rail system. The amendment was approved strictly along a party-line vote with all GOP members of the committee supporting the measure and all Democratic members voting no. California plans to build a highspeed rail system that would extend from Anaheim to San Francisco at a cost of about $98 billion.

Taliban leader sent letter to Obama

WASHINGTON Reclusive Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar wrote to President Barack Obama last year indicating an interest in talks key to ending the war in Afghanistan, current and former U.S. ofcials told the Associated Press. The letter purportedly from Omar was unsigned. It was passed through a Taliban intermediary in July and intended for the White House. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the letter and its contents are part of sensitive diplomacy with a ghting force that still targets U.S. troops. The previously undisclosed communication was considered authentic by people who saw it, but skeptical administration ofcials said they cannot determine it actually came from Omar. The Obama administration did not directly respond to the letter, two ofcials said, although it has broadened contacts with Omars emissaries since then. Sources who described the letter did not disclose its precise contents, but one current and one former ofcial said it addressed Taliban willingness to build trust with the United States. One official said Omar complained that the United States had not done enough to establish good faith for negotiations, such as arranging the release of Taliban prisoners held in the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. An administration ofcial would say only that the message represented views consistent with what Taliban emissaries had been telling U.S. ofcials during the clandestine meetings. Those preliminary sessions opened the way for more formal talks that U.S. ofcials now publicly welcome. A direct message from Omar could be a strong signal that the Taliban movement is interested in negotiation at the highest levels. The Obama administration is trying to foster talks among the Taliban and the US.-backed government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, but remains wary of Taliban motives.

Santorum warns voters of countrys likely demise Hackers intercept FBI and Scotland Yard call
By Philip Elliott
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAKEWOOD, Colo. Rick Santorums campaign slogan could very well be one word: doomsday. To hear him tell it, the United States will collapse under the weight of its health care system and basic freedoms will be history. Iran will annihilate Israel and then South Carolina if Iran isnt blocked from building a nuclear weapon. And divorce will yield higher taxes for all Americans. Unless, of course, Republicans pick Santorum as the partys presi-

dential nominee and he goes on to defeat President Barack Obama. Go back and read what the sirens did once you arrived on that island, Santorum warned students at Colorado Christian University this week, invoking mythology. They devour you. They destroy you. They consume you. Ladies and gentleman we cannot listen to the siren song, he added. We cannot listen to President Obama and we cant listen to those in our party who want to be just a little bit less than what the Democrats and the left is doing to our country.

LONDON Trading jokes and swapping leads, investigators from the FBI and Scotland Yard spent the conference call strategizing about how to bring down the hacking collective known as Anonymous, responsible for a string of embarrassing attacks across the Internet. Unfortunately for the cyber sleuths, the hackers were in on the call too and now so is the rest of the world. Anonymous published the roughly 15-minute-long recording of the call

on the Internet on Friday, gloating in a Twitter message that the FBI might be curious how were able to continuously read their internal comms for some time now. The humiliating coup exposed a vulnerability that might have had more serious consequences had someone else been listening in on the line. A law enforcement agency using unencrypted, unsecure communications is a major fumble, said Marcus Carey, who spent years securing communications for the U.S. National Security Agency before joining security-risk assessment rm Rapid7.

What if this event was talking about some terrorist plot to blow up something and they were listening in? It couldve been much worse if it was related to an al-Qaida plot or something ... So this is a lesson learned. The leak was one of a slew of Anonymous hacks that hit websites across the United States Friday, including in Boston, where the police site was defaced, and in Salt Lake City, where ofcials said that personal information of condential informants and tipsters had been compromised.

General Motors and the federal government

The Post and Courier of Charleston, S.C.

Other voices
top as the worlds No. 1 automaker. He also hailed Chrysler for growing faster in the U.S. than any other car company and Ford for investing billions in U.S. plants and factories. The president left out the fact that Ford, unlike GM and Chrysler, took no help from a federal bailout that began under President George W. Bush. ... Nor did Obama mention those electric-powered Volt battery res, which werent revealed by the NHTSA until two months ago. Agency administrator David Strickland told a House oversight committee that his agency pulled no punches on the Volt, adding that he

ome House Republicans say the Obama administration cut General Motors self-serving slack on a safety hazard. Ofcials at the National Highway Trafc Safety Administration deny it. But even if the agency didnt shirk its regulatory duty on the Chevrolet Volt, with the federal government now owning more than a quarter of GM, the suspicion of a conict of interest is inevitable. President Barack Obama proudly pointed out in his State of the Union speech that while on the day I took ofce, our auto industry was on the verge of collapse, GM is now back on

would feel safe driving one with his mom, wife and baby sister as passengers. GM Chairman Daniel F. Akerson offered the panel this bitter lament: Although we loaded the Volt with state-of-the-art safety features, we did not engineer the Volt to be a political punching bag. Maybe Akerson and Strickland are right, and the Volt doesnt represent a higher re-safety risk that gas-run cars. But the NHTSAs ve-month delay in making those test res public does represent, at the least, troubling timing. And beyond the auto-safety issue, when big government owns a big chunk of a big business, theres a heightened risk of Washington playing marketplace favorites particularly in an election year.

Poster boy for the 1 percent

ts been noted, in the past 30 years, I havent been wrong in my predictions of who would win presidential elections. So how do I do it? I rst put into the equation that somewhere between 30 percent to 35 percent, unfailingly, vote straight tickets for either major party. That leaves from 35 percent to 40 percent who are independent, more politically aware and whose voting is capable of determining the results. The Tea Party movement has been more of a problem for the establishment Republicans than the Democrats because they are pushing the national party too far to the right for the independents. So, whats been happening is the Republican candidates in the presidential primaries have been impelled to cater more to extreme conservative voters for support. But the realistic ones know they will need to swing more to the center in the general election to prevail with the independents. Considering that although I still believe this will be an issue, rather than a personality-driven election the Republicans best bet is to nominate Mitt Romney. Voters may be down on Obama, personally, but they will be looking at the Republican nominee asking themselves: What is he planning to take away from my social safety net, privacy and public services? And, only a moderate is likely to prevail against those fears. Thats what I used to think. Now, Im not so sure. The dynamic may be reversing since the revival by his GOP primary competitors of his Bain Capital connections, the private equity rm he founded and ran from 1984 to 1999. Its been noted for getting rich by buying companies, breaking them up, selling some parts, driving some into bankruptcy and closing the rest, as well as the numbers of longtime employees he has sent out into the cold looking for new jobs, some at advanced ages. Bragging about his accomplishments there may backre on him. At Bain Capital, he seems to have joined the nancial buccaneers who thrived on the wild seas of false investor hopes during the economic bubble. The result has been leaving a trail of destruction, as they legally cannibalized struggling companies. Gov. Rick Perry of Texas even called this the epitome of vulture capitalism. And Newt Gingrichs Super PAC created a halfhour lm of heartbreaking interviews with workers who Bain Capital laid off. After his GOP opponents endlessly dredge it from the depths as they approach the Republican National Convention and the Democrats in the General Election pick it up as an issue, how will it play out with the voters? In his run against Ted Kennedy for the U.S. Senate in 1994, it didnt seem to be determinative as, in poll after poll, voters did not seem to resent, in fact they admired, those who had amassed great wealth, as long as it was done legally and honorably. But, this is another economic environment in which job losses are a prevailing fear. How will they feel about business conduct thats perfectly legal but appears to be ruthless toward employees? The middle class, now, seems to be looking for job creators, not job destroyers. Most voters are not sophisticated about high nance, so its easy for the conservative spin doctors to direct blame toward immigrants, African-Americans, welfare and food stamp recipients, the housing bubble and big government for all of our problems. But after Romney released his last years tax return showing sprawling international nancial interests, partly based in the Cayman Islands, some admittedly sheltered from U.S. taxation, voters may not be so forgiving. With an overall tax rate of only 13.9 percent, how does that square with Romneys paying a fair share of supporting our most vital government services, from the standing army to police, re and teacher services? Do patriots shelter their income from taxation in the United States? He who hopes to become president of the United States and leader of the free world, seems to be. Early warning signs: According to some television news reports, recent polling shows that favorable ratings among independents of 60 percent for Romney have swung to Obama in the one week since the release of Romneys 2011 tax return. *** The media is playing a distorting role in the Republican debates. It strings everything along as a dramatically developing narrative: Now hes on a roll! Now hes lost it! Thats nonsense! Gingrich won in South Carolina because he knew just the right kind of raw meat to throw to the local Confederacy-nostalgic voters, still carrying bigotry in their souls. He lost the southern part of Florida because its more urban and full of expatriate retirees from the North. There is no such thing as a roll. Each will win by catering to the lowest common denominator of dissatisfaction in each primary election state.
Keith Kreitman has been a resident of Foster City for 26 years. After degrees in political science and journalism and advanced studies in law, he retired after a 50-year business career in insurance, as a commodities options broker and with four major private corporations. His column appears in the weekend edition.

Letters to the editor

The commielabel
Editor, Reading the latest attacks on your columnist Keith Kreitman, I am torn between laughing at the stupidity, being sorry for the ignorant letter writers and worrying that Mr. Kreitman might take it personally. Instead of coming to his defense, I assumed Kreitman would do it better himself, if he even felt the need for a rebuttal. In The hazards of being a columnist (published in the Jan. 21-22 weekend edition of the Daily Journal), he does that and, as usual, he does it very well. However, I think he went too easy on those who use the tired old label commie, a favorite among Republicans and reminiscent of children calling each other names they neither understand nor know how to spell. If anything, such letter writers only manage to hang themselves out as intellectually challenged and unfamiliar with the function of dictionaries. Do they confuse the word commie with columnist? Or more likely with communion, holy or not? Look up the denition of Communism, read a little history and try to understand that the now fading Communism is just another religion, with the exception that Communisms dictatorial rule-making leaders are real and visible. In reality, there is very little difference between the extreme right and the extreme left. Both sides cater to a small elite at the expense of the masses, use religion to justify inequality to benet the few on top and thrive on a populace duped by a hollow ideology. There was so much unintentional humor in Mark Dercoles letter (Bias is ignorance published in the Jan. 28-29 weekend edition of the Daily Journal) about Keith Kreitmans columns that it was hard to stop laughing and write. Dercoles complaint that Kreitmans opinions are biased gee, is not that sort of a requirement? was roll-onthe-oor funny. After accusing Kreitman of ignoring facts, Dercole started making up some of his own, and he really got his hand caught in the kooky jar. For example, President Obama, who saved the U.S. auto industry and a million jobs, was accused by Dercole of destroying Delphi Automotive, the huge auto parts manufacturer, for political reasons. Oops. Delphi, which declared bankruptcy in 2,005 under Bush, came out of bankruptcy in 2009 under Obama, took advantage of the improving economy to do an IPO in November and, just this week, Delphi announced they tripled prots on fourthquarter revenue of $3.9 billion and annual revenue of $16 billion, up 16 percent over 2010. Not bad for a destroyed company. It is hilarious that the one company Dercole picked to make his case turned out to be a shining tribute to the Obama recovery. Dercole also accuses Obama of killing tens of thousands of construction jobs by not yet approving the Keystone pipeline. Oops again. The builder of the pipeline, TransCanada, told the State Department the project would create just 4,650 temporary jobs. With typical conservative frothing, Dercole accuses liberals of being ignorant and brainwashed. A little fact-checking reveals Dercole tarring himself with his own brush and greatly entertaining the rest of us in the process.

Response to Brady advocating for former coachs kidney

Editor, Your story (Tom Brady advocating for former coachs kidney published in the Jan. 27 edition of the Daily Journal) about Tom Martinez and organ donation highlighted the tragic shortage of human organs for transplant operations. There are now over 112,000 people on the National Transplant Waiting List, with over 50 percent of these people dying before they get a transplant. Most of these deaths are needless. Americans bury or cremate 20,000 transplantable organs every year. There is a simple way to put a big dent in the organ shortage give donated organs rst to people who have agreed to donate their own organs when they die. Giving organs rst to organ donors will convince more people to register as organ donors. It will also make the organ allocation system fairer. Everyone who is willing to receive should be willing to give. Anyone who wants to donate their organs to others who have agreed to donate theirs can join LifeSharers. LifeSharers is a nonprot network of organ donors who agree to offer their organs rst to other organ donors when they die. Membership is free at www.lifesharers.org or by calling (888) ORGAN88.

Jobs report lifts Dow

By Matthew Craft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Wall Street
matters right now, and that variable is employment, said Lawrence Creatura, an equity portfolio manager at Federated Investors. This report was great news. It was beyond all expectations, literally. The number was higher than even the highest forecast. The Standard & Poors 500 index added 19.36 points, or 1.3 percent, to 1,344.90, its highest close since last July. The S&P 500 surged 2.2 percent for the week, its fth straight week of gains. Thats the longest weekly winning stretch since January of 2011. James Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management, said the jobs report seems to be evidence that the U.S. economy isnt as vulnerable to a shock from Europe as many had feared. If thats true, then investors should be willing to pay more for stocks. More evidence that the economy is gaining strength followed the jobs report. A trade group said the service industry expanded at the fastest pace since last February. The government also said factory orders rose 1.1 percent in December, supported by a rebound in orders for heavy machinery. Bank of America led the 30 stocks in the Dow, rising 5.2 percent. Only two stocks were lower: Merck and Procter & Gamble.

Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Friday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Tyson Foods Inc.,up 76 cents at $19.38 The meat companys scal rst-quarter prot fell from last year, but it said that meat prices and revenue should rise this year. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Co., up $1.90 at $30.59 Jefferies kept its Buy rating on the cruise company saying that any negative effects from an Italian cruise crash will be short lived. BB&T Corp.,up $1.10 at $29.12 The regional bank said that it will acquire the insurance businesses of privately held Crump Group Inc.for $570 million in cash. Weyerhaeuser Co.,up $1.16 at $21.30 The lumber and real estate companys fourthquarter net income fell 62 percent,but its results topped Wall Street expectations. Nasdaq Peets Coffee & Tea Inc.,up $5.15 at $67.24 A Baird analyst upgraded the coffee companys stock saying that it is set for a sharp jump in earnings growth in 2012 and 2013. Digital River Inc.,up $1.15 at $17.89 The online commerce technology company said that its fourth-quarter net income fell,but its results beat Wall Street expectations. Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.,up 48 cents at $16.20 The publisher of the Grand Theft Auto video games posted a drop in third-quarter revenue, but promised a stronger slate of games. Gilead Sciences Inc.,up $5.39 at $54.70 The biopharmaceutical companys prot grew 6 percent in the fourth quarter on greater sales of its HIV drugs including Atripla.It also reported further progress of GS-7977, a newly acquired hepatitis C treatment still in clinical testing.

NEW YORK A drop in the unemployment rate to its lowest level in three years propelled the Dow Jones industrial average Friday to its highest close since May 2008, before the nancial meltdown later that year. The Nasdaq composite index hit an 11-year high. The Dow jumped 156.82 points to 12,862.23, its highest mark since May 19, 2008, about four months before Lehman Brothers investment bank collapsed. In May 2008, credit markets were tightening up, subprime mortgages were going sour and Bear Stears had already collapsed. Before the market opened, the Labor Department said the economy added 243,000 jobs in January. It was the strongest job growth in nine months. The increase in hiring pushed the unemployment rate down to 8.3 percent, the lowest since February 2009. The surprising data gave financial markets a morning jolt that lasted throughout the trading day. The Nasdaq index closed 45.98 points higher at 2,905.66, its highest since December 2000, during the steep decline that followed the dot-com stock bubble. The price of ultra-safe Treasury notes dropped, sending yields higher, and the price of oil rose for the rst time in a week. In this economy, only one variable

HP awards new CEO Whitman with $16.5M

Micron CEO dies in plane crash
BOISE, Idaho A small experimental plane piloted by the chief executive and chairman of Micron Technology Inc. crashed after take-off Friday at the Boise airport, killing the head of the Idaho memory chip maker who survived a similar crash eight years ago. Steve Appleton, a professional stunt pilot and former motor cross racer, was the only person aboard the plane when witnesses said it steeply banked, stalled and rolled to the ground, according to Zoe Keliher, air safety investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board. It was the aircrafts second take-off attempt for the morning. Appletons death was conrmed by Micron spokesman Dan Fransicso, and trading in the companys stock was halted. The companys shares have traded between $3.97 and $11.95 over the past year, and shares were up 23 cents at $7.95 Friday before the announcement. Steves passion and energy left an indelible mark on Micron, the Idaho community and the technology industry at large, Microns board of directors said in a prepared statement.

SAN FRANCISCO HewlettPackard Co. ushered in Meg Whitman as its CEO with a $16.5 million compensation package that hinges on the one-time politicians ability to lift the stumbling technology companys stock price during the next two years. Last years pay consists almost entirely of 1.9 million stock options valued at $16.1 million, according to documents led Friday. Whether Whitman ever gets an opportunity to cash in most the options will depend on whether HPs market value rises substantially from its depressed level when HP red her predecessor, Leo Apotheker, as CEO last September. HP disclosed Whitman would be getting the stock options shortly after her

hiring, but didnt specify their value at that time. The company, which is based in Palo Alto, also had previously disclosed Whitmans salary would be limited to $1 while she tries to rebuild the momentum that HP lost after ousting Mark Hurd as its CEO in a titillating scandal in 2010. Apotheker fared even better than Whitman, partly because of a severance package that paid him more than $12 million in cash and allowed him to keep most of the stock awards that he got while he was CEO. Including the salary and perks that Apotheker received while he was still HPs CEO, his 2011 compensation package was valued at $26.7 million. That gure excludes a $3.7 million stock incentive that HP canceled as part of Apothekers severance agreement.

If Whitman succeeds in her mission at HP, she could use the windfall from the stock options to offset her losses from her unsuccessful attempt to become Californias governor in 2010. During that campaign as the Republican nominee, she spent more than $140 million of her own money. Before entering the political arena, Whitman was best known as the CEO of eBay Inc. during the dot-com boom. She did so well there that she was a billionaire by the time she left the e-commerce company in 2008. HP faces challenges on multiple fronts. Its personal computer division is trying to adapt to consumers growing preference for tablet and other mobile devices. Meanwhile, its operations that sell servers and consulting services to big companies locked in a erce battle with IBM Corp. and Oracle Corp.

House ready to consider insider trading ban

Apple, Motorola in patent struggle in Germany

FRANKFURT, Germany Apple Inc. has temporarily blocked Motorola Mobilitys attempt to have it withdraw several iPhone and iPad models from its Internet store in Germany, the latest twist in an extended legal duel over patents between the companies. The sale of the devices was briefly halted after Libertyville, Ill.-based Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. enforced a ruling it won against Ireland-based Apple Sales International Inc., from a court in Mannheim, Germany. The court had earlier ruled that Apple should not be using Motorolas mobile technology in the devices without a license. Motorola Mobility moved to enforce the decision and Apple announced Thursday it was halting online sales. A few hours later, Apple said it had won a suspension from an appeals court in Karlsruhe.

WASHINGTON Legislation that would ban insider trading by lawmakers and thousands of executive branch ofcials headed for what could be a more contentious debate in the House after sailing through the Senate on a 96-3 vote. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., repeated Friday that he plans to take the measure to the House oor next week for debate and vote, adding that we are currently reviewing the actions the Senate took on that bill and we intend to strengthen that bill. Cantor said Friday it was the Republican intention to get a bill to the

presidents desk as quickly as possible so that there is no misunderstanding on the part of the people here that they can trust this institution and the members. He dismissed Democratic requests that the House consider a similar longstanding Democratic measure, sponsored by Reps. Louise Slaughter of New York and Tim Walz of Minnesota, saying it would weaken the Senate bill. Walz, in turn, said his bill had 282 sponsors and implored Cantor and Speaker John Boehner, dont write something behind closed doors and dont do something that cant pass the Senate. In a rare display of bipartisanship, the Senate rallied around the measure that both bans insider trading and takes a step

toward restoring the tarnished image of lawmakers. It remains to be seen whether the House will do the same. President Barack Obama, who urged Congress to act on the legislation during his State of the Union addressed, repeated that he was ready to sign it immediately. No one should be able to trade stocks based on nonpublic information gleaned on Capitol Hill, the president said. So Im pleased the Senate took bipartisan action to pass the STOCK Act. I urge the House of Representatives to pass this bill, and I will sign it right away. Obama said still more ethics restrictions were needed, like prohibiting elected ofcials from owning stocks in industries they impact.

The FDA says the fungicide is far below dangerous levels, the juice is safe to drink and the orange juice wont be recalled from stores or destroyed. The juice tested was mixed with product from Brazil, where the fungicide carbendazim is used.

The government is testing for the chemical in domestic orange juice and in imports because carbendazim is not approved for use on oranges in the United States. It is used in other countries, including Brazil, to combat mold on orange trees.

Tom or Eli: Whos best?

By Jim Litke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS He was always being compared to someone. Thats what happens when youre the youngest son of a great quarterback and the baby brother of an even better one. It wasnt until he compared himself to Tom Brady, though, that people began taking Eli Manning seriously. That was in August, when Manning was asked whether he considered himself an elite quarterback like Brady. Manning said simply that he belonged in that class. But in New York, where blowing things out of proportion is practically a civic duty, even most Giants fans regarded it as heresy at the time. By Sunday night, it could be fact. So ready or not, its time for the other Manning vs. Brady, Part II. Both are back in Sundays Super Bowl, four years after they rst clashed, each with plenty still to prove. Its not my job to list quarterbacks, Manning said this week. Hes obviously a future Hall of Famer. Yet Brady has looked like anything but that in his last 11 postseason games, posting a 6-5 mark, including a 2008 Super Bowl loss to Manning and the Giants. For most of those, hes been knocked around a lot, picked off more than usual and tagged with a quarterback rating that wouldnt qualify as a low-grade fever. Measured against the nearly impossible standard that Brady set at the start of his career 10 straight postseason wins and three Super Bowl titles merely average would be a more accurate description. Perception still lags behind that reality, in no small part because everything else about Brady still

With only the top three teams in the Peninsula Athletic Bay Division boys soccer standings automatically qualifying for the Central Coast Section tournament, the playoffs began Friday for Burlingame and Carlmont. The Panthers took on the Scots in Belmont with Burlingame in fourth place in the standings and Carlmont just a point behind. The Scots, however, leap-frogged the Panthers with a 2-0 win. Carlmonts Justin Harpster scored in the opening minute and sealed the victory in the nal minutes with his second goal of the game. This is huge. We moved ahead of Burlingame into fourth place, Harpster said of the win. Usually, were the ones to get scored on in the rst minute. With the pressure of making a nal push to qualify for the postseason, there was a denite playoff vibe during the game. On top of that, the Burlingame-Carlmont soccer rivalry is arguably the most erce on the Peninsula. Friday, it was Burlingame that lost it cool, picking up four yellow cards and a straight red card ejection in the 57th minute. Carlmont was hardly angelic as the Scots amassed three yellow cards of their own. There will denitely be more cards, ejections and possible suspensions coming as the teams came to blows in the middle of the eld when the nal whistle blew at least three minutes early. Players from both teams were seen throwing punches and the ofciating crew said they will le a report with the PAL commissioner and it will be up to him to decide any further punishment. The last game (we played against Burlingame) was a little heated at the end, Harpster said, adding there was a lot of trash talking going during the Panthers 2-1 win Jan. 11. (Its a heated rivalry) always. Every single year, said Carlmont coach Jodi Beloff. At

CSM falls to Sierra in season opener

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

College of San Mateo manager Doug Williams will be the rst to tell you that his baseball teams rst bite at competition in the 2012 season left his those in white and blue with a bitter taste. When you play a good team, and Sierra is a top team in the north, it can happen, Williams said, referring the Bulldogs less-than stellar start to the new year. Right now, its just one game and it certainly doesnt determine who we are. Its not that CSM expected to run the table from wire to wire in 2012, but pitching was their downfall in Fridays 8-4 loss to Sierra College. I thought we played fairly well, Williams said. We paid for a big inning in the sixth with that fourspot and thats really what determined the game. We got ourselves in trouble with a couple of walks in that inning we walked a guy three times and the guy behind him got four hits. So, those things hurt and came back to bite us a little bit. That four-run sixth was the game changer. San Mateo trailed Sierra 32 at that point after squandering some opportunities early in the game. The Bulldogs left three on in the rst inning after Sierra handed them a two-on, nobody out situation. Prior to Jarrett Costa taking his cuts, Sierras Ryan Millison gift-wrapped the games rst run for CSM, throw-

ing a bunt attempt into right eld that plated Brandon Defazio. Costa grounded to third and after a Trevin Craig walk to load the bases, Chris Kileen struck out and Mark Hurley ew out to right to end the inning at only 1-0. Sierra got the run back against Daniel Chavez in the second with Brad Gerig doubling to left-centereld. The two-bagger was the rst of a huge afternoon for Gerig, who, as Williams mentioned, made the Bulldogs pay time and again for walking men in front of his at-bats. CSM regained the lead in the second only to give it back in the fourth when Gerig tripled to right-centereld plating a pair of teammates putting Sierra on top 3-2. It was a lead they would not give back. And that was due in large part to the pitching effort of Bryson Dymond. Dymond came in during the fourth inning and shut the door on the Bulldogs. Not overpowering with his pitches, Dymond used a bit of a slurve and spotted his fastball well to keep CSM off-balanced. Sierra is a good team and that left hander that came out was as good as anybody out there today, Williams said. His tempo was very good. He was throwing three pitch-

es for strikes in any count. It was tough for our hitters to adjust. Sierra gured out CSM pitching in the sixth, aided by a pair of walks and an error. Two men walked in front of Gerig to begin the inning and one more time the outelder made the Bulldogs pay the price, doubling down the third base line for his third extra-base hit of the afternoon. Hed score two batters later on an error and that mistake would come in on a Brady Steiger single to right to make it 7-2. Sierra added another run in the eighth and pulled Dymond after he got a 1-6-3 double play to end the CSM half of the frame. The Bulldogs scored twice in the ninth, with Joseph Armstrong tripling to begin the inning. Hed scored on a Defazio single and Bo Walter plated him home a couple of batters later. Its early, Williams said. Its a good gauge for us. Weve been inter-squading since the middle of November and now you see another opponent and realize the level you have to get it up to. We competed at the end there, so Im proud of the guys for doing that. We have to get better. The best thing about that is that well be out here tomorrow to try and get the bad taste our of our mouth.

All charges dropped,investigation ended against Armstrong

By Greg Risling
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The case against Lance Armstrong is closed. His legacy as a seven-time Tour de France champion endures. Federal prosecutors dropped their investigation of Armstrong on Friday, ending a nearly two-year effort aimed at determining whether the worlds most famous cyclist and his teammates joined in a doping program during his greatest years. Armstrong steadfastly has denied he doped during his unparalleled career, but the possibility of criminal charges threatened to stain not only his accomplishments, but his cancer charity work as well. Instead, another attempt to prove a star athlete used performance-enhancing drugs has fallen short, despite years of evidence gathering across two continents. I am gratied to learn that the U.S. Attorneys Ofce is closing its investigation, Armstrong said in a statement. It is the right decision and I commend them for reaching it. I look forward to continuing my life as a father, a competitor, and an advocate in the ght against cancer without this distraction.

The probe, anchored in Los Angeles where a grand jury was presented evidence by federal prosecutors and heard testimony f r o m A r m s t r o n g s Lance former teamArmstrong mates and associates, began with a separate investigation of Rock Racing, a cycling team owned by fashion entrepreneur Michael Ball. U.S. Attorney Andri Birotte Jr. announced in a press release that his ofce is closing an investigation into allegations of federal criminal conduct by members and associates of a professional bicycle racing team owned in part by Lance Armstrong. He didnt disclose the reason for the decision, though Birotte has used discretion in pursing high-profile criminal cases before. Last February, his ofce closed an investigation of mortgage giant Countrywide Financial Corp. The pronouncement comes after a pair of less-than-successful cases against top sports gures accused of doping. Home run king Barry Bonds

was found guilty of obstruction of justice and sentenced in December to 30 days home detention a conviction hes appealing but prosecutors were unable to convince a jury he lied about using steroids. Roger Clemens steroid trial is slated for April 17 after a judge declared a mistrial last summer when prosecutors showed jurors inadmissible evidence. Investigators looked at whether a doping program was established for Armstrongs team while, at least part of the time, it received government sponsorship from the U.S. Postal Service. Authorities also examined whether Armstrong encouraged or facilitated doping on the team. He won the Tour de France every year from 1999-2005. The hurdle for prosecutors wasnt so much to prove whether any particular cyclist used drugs, but to determine if Armstrong and other team members violated federal conspiracy, fraud or racketeering charges. Unlike Bonds and Clemens, who testied before a federal grand jury and Congress, respectively, and were accused of lying under oath, Armstrong was not questioned in front of the grand jury. Betsy Andreu, who with her hus-

band and former Armstrong teammate, Frank, accused the cycling champion of doping, said she was shocked by Birottes decision. Our legal system failed us, she said. This is what happens when you have a lot of money and you can buy attorneys who have people in high places in the Department of Justice. Led by federal agent Jeff Novitzky, who also investigated Bonds and Clemens, U.S. authorities sought assistance overseas, requesting urine samples of U.S. Postal riders from Frances antidoping agency and also meeting with ofcials from Belgium, Spain and Italy. Prosecutors also subpoenaed Armstrong supporters and ex-teammates to testify in Los Angeles. Among them were Ukrainian cyclist Yaroslav Popovych, who rode on three Armstrong teams dating back to 2005; Allen Lim, an exercise physiologist for Team Radioshack; and longtime Armstrong friend Stephanie McIlvain. The investigation began after Novitzky was told about a cache of PEDs found by a landlord in the vacated apartment of Kyle Leogrande, a cyclist who rode for

Rock Racing and had a doping ban, according to several people familiar with the case. The case also was spurred by disgraced cyclist Floyd Landis, who claims Armstrong had a long-running doping system in place while they were teammates. Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for drug use, acknowledged in 2010 he used performanceenhancing drugs after years of denying he cheated. One of the most serious accusations came during a 60 Minutes interview last May when former teammate Tyler Hamilton said he saw Armstrong use EPO during the 1999 Tour de France and in preparation for the 2000 and 2001 tours. The report also said Armstrong loyalist George Hincapie, another ex-teammate, told federal authorities that he and Armstrong supplied each other with PEDs and discussed them. Hincapie released a statement after the segment aired, saying he did not speak with the show and didnt know where it got its information. U.S. anti-doping officials said Friday they will not be dissuaded by the governments decision to close the Armstrong probe.

NFLs ratings,revenue,popularity growing

By Howard Fendrich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS Less than a year ago, Tom Brady, Logan Mankins, Osi Umenyiora and seven other players led an antitrust suit against the NFL, a key moment in a convoluted and contentious labor dispute between the union and league that threatened to cut short or even wipe out the 2011 season. On Sunday, Brady and Mankins of the New England Patriots and Umenyiora of the New York Giants will play in a Super Bowl that might very well draw more viewers than any TV show in history. What lockout? What recession? Nothing, it seems, can get in the way of the NFL, whose ratings and revenues climb and climb, no matter what. Indeed, some say both those issues managed to push even more attention and money the leagues way. Put simply, the NFL has the Midas Touch. The uncertainty of the lockout Will it be settled? When will the deal come? Will it happen? created a sense of anticipation for the new season. It fed into the publics aware-

ness of the NFL. Even the concussion stories helped, because the public has become aware of the issue and is watching games to see how the rules are enforced, to see how the game changes, said Neal Pilson, a former president of CBS Sports who now runs a media consulting rm. They talk about it Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and they watch it on Sunday, Pilson said. The more separate issues related to the NFL that become part of the public discourse feed into the audiences. NFL games accounted for 23 of the 25 most-watched telecasts last fall, and a total of 37 games drew at least 20 million viewers each. That, Pilson says, is at least in part a result of the countrys nancial state. After all, whats cheaper than plopping down on the couch to watch a game? Oden hasnt appeared in a game for the Blazers in two years. He also underwent surgery for a fractured kneecap in late 2009, then early last season he had microfracture surgery on his left knee. The latest procedure took place Friday afternoon in Vail, Colo. The Blazers said Greg Oden it was successful and that Oden remains out indenitely. It was expected that he might be able to play for the Blazers this season, but a checkup before the start of training camp in December reportedly revealed concerns about a non-weight-bearing ligament in the left knee, further setting back his rehabilitation.

Sports is, to a certain extent, recessionproof. You can see a sports event 10 different ways: on television, on your laptop, on your iPad, on your mobile phone, in bars and restaurants, in airports. Theres no other entertainment property that is so ubiquitous, Pilson said. When the economy went south, guess what? Americans stayed home, made a single investment in hi-denition television and watched sports. And what they watch more than anything is the NFL. The last two Super Bowls were the two most-viewed programs in U.S. television history. NBC Sports Group Chairman Mark Lazarus is eager to see how many people tune in for his networks broadcast of Sundays championship game between the Patriots and Giants. Its a rematch of the 2008 Super Bowl, when Eli Manning led New York to an upset that

ruined New Englands bid for a perfect season. Were optimistic this has a chance to be the largest TV audience ever, Lazarus said. This is a great rivalry game, with two of the most prolic franchises. They come with big markets. And theyre both Eastern markets. Lazarus noted that a Super Bowl provides a great platform for immediate revenue to the tune of an average price of $3.5 million per 30-second commercial and for showcasing the network. The NFL knows that, of course, and pulls in big bucks from broadcasters, on top of the money collected from deals with partners such as Nike and Pepsi, along with ticket sales, merchandise and local sponsorships. NBC, CBS and Fox recently renewed their NFL contracts through the 2022 season, with annual bumps in rights fees that will bring the total revenue generated by those deals from nearly $2 billion per year to more than $3 billion. In September, ESPN kept Monday Night Football through the 2021 season, increasing its annual payments from $1.1 billion to $1.9 billion.

Sports brief
Blazers Oden undergoes another knee procedure
PORTLAND, Ore. Trail Blazers center Greg Oden underwent an arthroscopic procedure to remove debris from his right knee, his fourth surgery since Portland selected him with the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft, the team said. The often-injured 7-footer had microfracture surgery on the same knee before the start of his rookie season, forcing him to postpone his NBA debut for a year. Since then, Oden has appeared in just 82 career games for the Blazers, averaging 9.4 points and 7.3 rebounds.

And just about every practice, whether its a steamy day in training camp or a short walk-through after watching lm, he runs out there, grabs me and says something like, Get the hell out of here! only its not always even that nice. ... Everybody outside this team looks at him and thinks pretty-boy QB. But Tom doesnt try hiding it from us, Hoyer said. Hes a killer. Manning, too, shares that trait and has been honing it for nearly as long. Like Brady, he was the baby of the family and quickly learned he could get his way by being demanding one moment and wheedling the next. Like his father, Archie, the longtime Saints quarterback, and older brother Peyton, who almost single-handedly vaulted the Colts to the top of the NFL heap, Eli burned to win all the time, too. But he wasnt above playing the trump card his mother, Olivia. He would pin me down, Eli, now 31, recalled growing up with Peyton, and take his knuckles and knock on my chest and make me name the 12 schools in the SEC.

Up until then, Burlingame was much more efcient from the eld than M-A. The Panthers got to the free throw line early in the game and rode a 5-of-5 tilt to a 14-10 lead after one quarter of basketball. They then took advantage of a 2-of-15 shooting performance in the second frame by the Bears to build that nine-point lead going into recess. Burlingames Lauren Rally scored 10 points in the rst half. the SEC. Once I gured those out, he moved on. There were 28 teams in the NFL at that point, so all teams in the NFL. I had to get my studying on for that. Then once I gured that out, the one I never got was the 10 brands of cigarettes. When he really wanted to torture me and knew I had no shot of ever getting it, he added, thats when I just started screaming for my mom or dad to come save me. Contrast that with the story Brady told about growing up with three older sisters. I didnt have to share clothes. I didnt have to ght over the bathroom. They were pretty easy on me. They dressed me up a few times in their clothes and painted my nails once, but it was nice, Brady said without a shred of embarrassment. Theyd bring all of their girlfriends over to the house. It was pretty cool. Brady is as smooth on the eld as away from it. He had success almost from the moment he slipped into the starting lineup in New England in the second game of the 2001, an opportunity that came after front-liner Drew Bledsoe suffered a sheared blood vessel in his chest following a hit from the Jets Mo Lewis.

Manning, on the other hand, was drafted No. 1 overall in 2004 by the Chargers. They promptly traded him to the Giants for quarterback Philip Rivers, the No. 4 pick, a swap that rumor had it was engineered by Archie. Either way, Manning arrived to much fanfare and not a little resentment. Kurt Warner, a Super Bowl winner in St. Louis a few years earlier, was New Yorks starter at the time, but even he didnt envy Manning the situation he walked into. Hes got the name to live up to, the way he wound up there, and hes in New York, where you can be the best thing since sliced bread the rst quarter, and the worst thing to ever walk the earth by the second, said Warner, who started that season 5-4 before giving way to Manning. He won maybe once the rest of the way, but you couldnt tell that by looking at him after any one game. What you did see was his resolve, his consistency and that didnt change, Warner said. I cant say from a football standpoint I saw a whole lot else. of free throws to tie things up at 39.

In the bonus period, Burlingame forced four M-A turnovers with Sarah Gogarty knocking down a big basket for the Panthers. M-A got within two points on a Katherine Hayse 3-pointer, but her game-winning attempt from beyond the arc was partially blocked to preserve the W for the Panthers.

And despite outward appearances, they wonder how Brady is managing it now, coming up short of his ultimate goal every season since 2005, after winning three in four years. Patriots backup quarterback Brian Hoyer ticked off a laundry list of things hes been studying in the three seasons hes sat behind Brady: mechanics, poise, and attention to detail, even the tone of voice he uses to command respect in a huddle.

Levin leads Phoenix Open

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Spencer Levin took one last drag on his cigarette, stamped it out in the rough and climbed into the bunker behind the 17th green. He set up quickly, took a quick glance at the hole and splashed out. The ball landed about 10 feet from the hole, bounced twice and rolled into the cup for an eagle-2 that pushed him to 14-under par Friday in the second round of the Phoenix Open. A few minutes and another cigarette later, he parred the 18th for an 8-under 63 and a three-stroke lead. Hopefully, I can just keep trying to believe in Spencer Levin myself and just keep trying to make my swing, and well see what happens, Levin said. Im going to give it my best shot. It should be fun. Im looking forward to it. Harrison Frazar was 6 under for the round and 11 under overall with three holes left at TPC Scottsdale when play was suspended because of darkness. There toward the end it was getting kind of tough to control the ball and to see it, said Frazar, the St. Jude Classic winner last year. The temperature dropped, so the ball ies a little differently. Webb Simpson, the highest-ranked player in the eld at No. 6, was third at 8 under along with tour rookie John Huh. Simpson shot a 69 in the last group to nish play on No. 18, and Huh had a 66. That was probably the darkest Ive ever played, Simpson said. I couldnt really see anything. Kyle Stanley was 7 under after a 66 as he tries to rebound from a devastating loss last week.

and lost to Brandt Snedeker in a playoff. The 27-year-old Levin, remembered for a hole-in-one and 13th-place tie in the 2004 U.S. Open at Shinnecock while still in school at New Mexico, is winless on the PGA Tour. He came close last year, losing a playoff to Johnson Wagner in the Mayakoba Golf Classic. At Torrey Pines, Levin had a share of the rst-round lead after a 62, but followed with rounds of 76, 73 and 72 to tie for 43rd. Last week, I played great the rst round and didnt play well the rest of the week, but overall I think my game is getting better, Levin said. Fan favorite Phil Mickelson nished off a 70 at dusk to reach 4 under. He had a bogey and a double bogey in a front-nine 38, then made four birdies the last drawing the loudest cheers of the day on the amphitheater par-3 16th on the back nine. The front nine, I dont know what to say. I mean, it was just terrible, said Mickelson, the former Arizona State star who won the tournament in 1996 and 2005. I was able to kind of self-correct it a little bit for the back to shoot 4 under and turn it around. Its not what I was hoping for going into the day, but Im looking forward to playing the weekend and seeing if I can light it up. Defending champion Mark Wilson, coming off a victory two weeks ago in the Humana Challenge, was 3 under after a 69. Huh, a 21-year-old Q-school grad from California, is making his third PGA Tour start. He tied for sixth at Torrey Pines. My goal was just to keep the card this year, Huh said. Levin was one of 42 players who nished the rst round Friday morning after play was suspended because of darkness Thursday. He hit his rst shot of the day to 3 feet to set up a birdie on the par-3 seventh and parred the nal two holes for a 65 that left him a stroke behind rst-round leaders Jason Dufner and Ryan Palmer.

least in the seven years Ive been coaching here. This [matchup] always had the highest emotions. Burlingame got hot under the collar. The ending marred an otherwise entertaining game that saw Carlmont (5-4-1 PAL Bay, 7-5-4 overall) jump out to a quick 1-0 lead and then fend off Burlingame until the nal moments of the game. Neither team had time to settle in before the Scots took a 1-0 lead. A ball was sent from the Carlmont defensive third to mideld where Luke Petersen icked it into space with a leaping backheel pass. Harpster ew past the Burlingame defender and just had the goalie to beat which he calmly did by slotting a shot past the charging goalkeeper and into the right side of the net. I just got lucky, Harpster admitted. He nearly got lucky again a couple minutes later on a similar play, but his second-to-last touch pushed the ball too far in front of him and his shot was saved. Burlingame (4-4-2) nally settled down and began turning control of the game to its side. The Panthers had several quality looks and shots on goal, but Carlmont goalkeeper Zack Wooster was barely tested as he easily made four saves in the rst half. Despite leading 1-0 at halftime, Beloff was not happy with her teams performance, believing it was trying to nurse a one-goal

lead and rely on the Scots defense to shut down Burlingame. My biggest complaint was, they didnt seem like they were playing with a lot of intensity and passion (in the rst half), Beloff said. In the second half, I thought they played better. Burlingame pushed for the equalizer in the second half, but the Panthers suffered a big blow in the 57th minute when one of their players was ejected after slamming a Carlmont player to ground right in front of the Scots bench. That nearly set off a brawl. Playing a man down, Burlingame had one major chance to tie the score. On a free kick from near midfield, Burlingames Mark Lopez sent a long ball into the Carlmont penalty box. The ball bounced around, with neither a Burlingame player able to get a clean shot off, nor was a Carlmont defender able to clear the ball away. Kasey Wakasa nally got a clean shot off, but Wooster made the save. In the waning moments of the game, Carlmont sent the ball into space in the Burlingame half of the eld and Jackson Criswell ran onto it. He angled in on goal and sent a pass across the face of the goal. Burlingames goalkeeper sprawled to get a hand on it and missed. Harpster was crashing the goal and made a slide, getting his foot on it and redirecting it into the net to ice the victory. [Harpsters] play has been improving every game. Thats what we expect, Beloff said. Hes playing smarter Figuring out where he needs to be. Im thrilled to death with his play.

STORRS, Conn. UConns Jim Calhoun doesnt mince words when it comes to his health. So, when the Hall of Fame coach of the defending national champions, who turns 70 in May, had just about had it with his back problems, he let people know. The bottom line is Im going to need some work done, Calhoun told the Associated Press in a phone interview Friday. In January the shooting pains were getting worse and after one plane ride I couldnt even get up. I tried to hide it. Im taking medicine right now for the pain. They are waiting for things to quiet down, and Ill Jim Calhoun meet with the doctor next week. As a result, Calhoun is taking an indenite medical leave of absence, as he has been suffering for several months from spinal stenosis, a spinal condition that causes him severe pain and hampers mobility. Calhoun said he told university President Susan Herbst about it but had hoped to gut out the nal weeks of the season. But its just so bad, even getting through practice, Calhoun said. Now Im going to see what the next step is. The bottom line is Im hurting.

Komen drops plans to cut Planned Parenthood grants
NEW YORK For leaders of the nations pre-eminent breast-cancer charity, it was a restorm they didnt see coming and couldnt withstand. Susan G. Komen for the Cure on Friday abandoned plans to eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood. The dramatic retreat followed a three-day furor that resounded across the Internet, in Congress and perhaps most tellingly among Komen afliates who openly rebelled, suggesting the leadership had bowed to anti-abortion pressure. We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving womens lives, a Komen statement said. As rst reported by the Associated Press on Tuesday, Komen had adopted criteria excluding Planned Parenthood from future grants for breast-cancer screenings because it was under government investigation, citing a probe launched by a Florida

Syrian activists: 200 dead in assault

congressman at the urging of antiabortion groups.

BEIRUT In a barrage of shelling, Syrian forces killed 200 people and wounded hundreds early Saturday in Homs in an offensive that appears to be the bloodiest episode in the nearly 11-month-old uprising, activists said. The offensive was reported in Homs, which has been one of the main ashpoints of opposition to the regime during the uprising against President Bashar Assad. Two main opposition groups, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees, said the death toll was more than 200 people. More than half of the killings about 140 were reported in the Khaldiyeh neighborhood. This is the worst attack of the uprising, since the uprising began in March until now, said Rami AbdulRahman, the head of the Observatory, which tracks violence

Latest illnesses point to raw milks popularity

WASHINGTON An outbreak of bacterial infections on the East Coast illustrates the popularity of raw, unpasteurized milk despite strong warnings from public health ofcials about the potential danger. Even presidential candidate Ron Paul has joined the cause of consumers looking to buy unprocessed real foods straight from the farm, saying government shouldnt deny them that choice. An outbreak of campylobacter illness is a reminder of the potential hazards, however. Raw milk from a dairy in Pennsylvania is now linked to 38 cases in four states, and the farm has temporarily suspended sales. Campylobacter can cause diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain, and fever and can be life-threatening if it spreads to the bloodstream.

through contacts on the ground. The reports could not be independently conrmed. It was not immediately clear what precipitated the attack, but there have been reports that army defectors set up checkpoints in the area and were trying to consolidate control. Assad is trying to crush the revolt with a sweeping crackdown that has so far claimed thousands of lives, but neither the government nor the protesters are backing down and clashes between the military and an increasingly bold and armed opposition has meant many parts of the country have seen relentless violence. The U.N. Security Council meeting later Saturday was to take up a much-negotiated resolution on

Syria. A diplomat for a Western nation that sits on the council said the meeting would happen Saturday morning. The diplomat spoke Friday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to be quoted by the press. The move toward a vote came after Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke by telephone with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in an effort to overcome Russian opposition to any statement that explicitly calls for regime change or a military intervention in Syria. The U.S. and its partners have ruled out military action but want the global body to endorse an Arab League plan that calls on Assad to hand power over to Syrias vice president.

roll tax expire, as it will if Congress doesnt take action by the end of the month. The tax cut reaches 160 million Americans. Of the economic recovery, he said: Weve got to do everything in our power to keep it going. We cant go back to the policies that led to the recession, and we cant let Washington stand in the way of the recovery. His Republican foes used the numbers to argue that the pace of improvement was not good enough. We can do better, said former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the Republican front-runner. These numbers cannot hide the fact that President Obamas policies have prevented a true economic recovery. Unemployment was 6.8 percent when Obama was elected, 7.8 percent when he was sworn in and 10 percent, its recent peak, nine months later. No president since World War II has won re-election with unemployment higher than 7.2 percent. The job gains in January were widespread: The professional services category, which includes high-paying jobs like architects, accountants and engineers, added 70,000 jobs, the most in 10 months. The category also includes temporary workers. Manufacturing added 50,000 jobs, the most in a year, and the beleaguered construction industry added 21,000, its second straight month of strong gains. Construction added 31,000 jobs in December. Both months were probably helped by the warm winter. The leisure and hospitality industry, which includes restaurants and hotels, added 44,000 jobs. Retailers added nearly 11,000. Governments cut 14,000 jobs, which means the private sector added 257,000. The 243,000 jobs added far exceeded the estimate by economists of 155,000, according to FactSet, a provider of nancial data. Some surveys of economists came in even lower. Government revisions to previous months totals were another encouraging sign. Hiring was stronger in November and December by 60,000 jobs than rst estimated. November was revised up from 100,000 to 157,000 and December from 200,000 to 203,000. The government also issued its annual revisions to jobs data going back ve years. They showed that hiring was stronger over the past two years than previously thought. The economy added about 1.82 million jobs last year, compared with an original estimate of 1.64 million. This is a very positive employment report from almost any angle, said Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Amherst College. The government uses a survey of mostly large companies and government agencies to determine how many jobs were added or lost each month. That survey produced the 243,000 number. It uses a separate survey of households to determine the unemployment rate. The household survey had more good news: 631,000 people said they found work in January. That pushed the unemployment rate down to 8.3 percent and the number of unemployed down to 12.8 million, the fewest in three years. And 250,000 people streamed back into the work force and started looking for jobs. That increased slightly the size of the work force, which the government denes as people working and people unemployed but seeking work.

force that the nation is entering a virtuous cycle, a reinforcing loop in which stronger hiring leads to more consumer spending, which leads to even more hiring and spending. On Wall Street, where investors had already driven stocks to their best start in 15 years because of optimism about the economy, the jobs report triggered a spasm of buying. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 156.82 points, its second-best showing this year, and nished the day at 12,862.23, its highest close since May 2008, four months before the nancial crisis struck. The Nasdaq composite index nished at its highest level since December 2000, during a steep decline after the dot-com stock craze. Money poured out of bonds, which are considered less risky than stocks, and bond yields rose. Virtually every economist on the planet had expected a drop in the rate of job gains in January, which makes todays upward surprise even more surprising, Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at the brokerage BTIG, said in a note to clients. In December, 203,000 jobs were created. The impressive jobs report reverberated through the presidential campaign and could improve Obamas re-election prospects. The drop in the unemployment rate put it exactly where it was in February 2009, the month after Obama took ofce. In Arlington, Va., the president argued that now was no time to let a 2-percentage-point cut in the Social Security pay-

Egyptian soccer deaths bring new cycle of violence
CAIRO Protesters lled the streets and clashed for a second day Friday with police who red tear gas and birdshot in Cairo, as a deadly soccer riot focused rising public anger over lawlessness and collapsing security a year after Egypts uprising. Six people have been killed and more than 1,500 injured in the latest bloodshed that followed a violent melee and stampede after a soccer game Wednesday in the Mediterranean city of Port Said in which 74 people died. Egyptians streamed out of Friday prayers in Cairo, Alexandria, Suez and several Nile Delta cities, criticizing police and calling on the military rulers led by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi to step down. On Cairos Tahrir Square the heart of the uprising that ousted President Hosni Mubarak a year ago protesters raised banners and pictures of those killed in Port Said and chanted, The people want to execute the marshal. The police force, which for decades was associated with torture and corruption in the Mubarak regime, is now being criticized in the soccer stadium deaths whether from a lack of control or, as some alleged, on purpose.

Kidnappers free two Americans, Egyptian guide

EL-ARISH, Egypt Bedouin tribesmen abducted two female American tourists and their Egyptian guide at gunpoint Friday but released them several hours later after negotiations with tribal leaders in the Sinai Peninsula, the regions security chief said. The brazen daylight abduction along a busy highway was a new blow to Egypts vital tourism industry, which has been heavily battered by the unrest following last years uprising that ousted former President Hosni Mubarak. Tensions across the nation have spiked since a deadly soccer riot on Wednesday that has spiraled into a political crisis and fueled anger at the ruling military council after protesters accused police of standing by and allowing the bloodshed. Also Friday, four masked gunmen stopped the vehicle of two Italians working for a local food factory in the nearby city of Suez, taking their car, more than 10,000 euros ($13,000) and their laptops, the director of the company Mohammed Antar said. The attackers let the Italians go.

Lets get more cops on the beat, lets get more rangers in the parks, lets get more reghters on call, and in the process, were going to put more veterans back to work, Obama said Friday at a re station in Arlington, Va., that was one of the rst to respond to the attack on the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. Theyve already risked their lives defending America. They should have the opportunity to rebuild America, he said. The efforts, which Obama rst announced in his State of the Union address last week, are particularly geared to those veterans who served after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a group experiencing an unemployment rate of 9.1 percent, according to the governments jobs report for January. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said the Civilian Conservation Corps that operated during the 1930s could be viewed as a model for what the administration will try to accomplish through its Veterans Jobs Corps. He said that the administration will propose spending $1 billion over ve years that would be used to put an estimated 20,000 veterans to work restoring habitat and eradicating invasive species, among other activities. When one looks back at the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps, we take great comfort that those who take on these kinds of activities will leave a lasting legacy for the United States, Salazar said. The backdrop of presidential politics is also playing a role in the Obama administrations new efforts. Several states that will be heavily contested in November have a signicant military presence. Veterans will be evaluating specic ways the next White House administration intends to help them. Communities that hire veterans to work as police and reghters will be given preference in the grants competition. Obama will also seek to increase spending for the grants programs. He is proposing an additional $4 billion for the Community Oriented Policing Services program, or COPS. He will propose an additional $1 billion for the reghter grants. The administration will also propose a training program designed to help veterans wanting to start their own small businesses. With GOP lawmakers stressing the need to cut government spending, it remains to be seen how far the proposals will go in a deeply divided Congress. Many conservatives have in the past voted to cut spending for the COPS program, while Obama is calling for a major expansion. Obama said the end of the war in Iraq could help nance the work programs. Congress should take the money that were no longer spending on war, use half of it to pay down our debt, and use the rest to do some nation-building here at home, he said. Rep. Jeff Miller, the Republican chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, voiced skepticism. He said he wanted the administration to work with Congress on getting businesses to hire more.

W.E. begs the question, why?

Progess?
By Chloee Weiner

The question that needs to be asked about Madonnas W.E. is why? Not why would she set out to make a movie to satisfy her obsession with Wallis Simpson, a woman more famous and notorious in her day than Madonna is herself. But why would anyone, after reading the jumbled, rambling script Madonna co-wrote, turn her loose to direct such a mess of pretty pictures and hollow perceptions about the curse of celebrity and the price of true love? Its easy to understand Madonnas xation with Simpson, the American divorcee for whom Britains King Edward VIII gave up the throne. Madonna clearly empathizes with this Material Girl of another generation over the microscopic, often malicious media attention both have endured. But W.E. amounts to a case of a bigheaded superstar overreaching with emptyheaded results. Its poorly conceived, awkwardly orchestrated, drearily paced and bizarrely assembled. The images have the sheen of a really grand music video or perfume commercial, and the movie has about as much

Madonna the director

NEW YORK The focus in the days ahead is on Madonna the musician. Shes set to perform the halftime show at the Super Bowl on Sunday and her new single, Give Me All Your Luvin, with the white-hot Nicki Minaj, hits radio airwaves this week. But the 53-year-old superstar is surely hoping that some of that spotlight will shine on her new movie, W.E., about the celebrated romance between divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson and Britains King Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne for love in the 1930s. To me their lives were so diverse, complex and interesting, and there were so many different points of view to approach the story from, said Madonna during a recent interview about the lm, which opens Friday. Madonna doesnt star in W.E. shes the lms director. It tells the story of Simpson

t a school where 12-yearolds carry iPads and students use Skype to speak Spanish with people across the world, grades, more often than not, remain in ink and paper. Transparency in scores, completed assignments and grade averages seems like a no-brainer. However, at the otherwise technologically savvy environment that is my school, Crystal Springs Uplands, online grading has not been seriously considered until now. To most students and myself, online grading initially seems like an intuitive addition to anyones academic arsenal. I already view most of my assignments, test dates and upcoming events online (and theres really no need to reiterate the amount of time I spend online for non-academic endeavors), and the benets of online grading for teachers are not so different from that of students. But if one is really seeking the answer to this question Whats not to like about online grading? one can nd at least some opposition from the CSUS student, parent and faculty population alike. Faculty seem most concerned over a few anxious parents or obsessive students who would check the grades religiously, only adding to the contemporary phenomena of the helicopter-parent and the grade-crazy student. I, along with my friends, have similar concerns over giving our parents yet another reason to hover. However, the largest pushback, it seems, indeed comes not from students, but from the faculty. The head of the English Department at CSUS spoke for both her own concerns and the concerns of other members of the English Department, stating strictly averaging grades runs counter to ones instincts when teaching English, and that trying to reduce [a students academic success] to mathematics wouldnt account for the bad day a student might have had during that one in-class passage analysis or a students improvement over a number of assignments.

Other faculty members like the head of the middle school have different reasons for opposition, suggesting that using online grading at the middle-school level would shift the focus too much to grades instead of learning (especially at an age when college is in the distant future), but could greatly benet students in keeping track of missing assignments.

making frequency as Wally delves deeper into Simpsons life to make sense of her own. Just like Wallis, Wallys in an unhappy marriage. Just like Wallis, Wally has child-bearing issues. Just like Wallis, Wally suffers through domestic violence. And just like Wallis, Wally meets a man with whom real love just might be possible. OK, Wallys new guy is a Russian security guard (Oscar Isaac) at Sothebys, not the heir to a kingdom. But you get the point about the connection Wally feels with Wallis and just in case you dont, Madonna and co-writer Alek Keshishian go to absurd lengths to shove it in your face. Wallis and Wally even cross into each others time zones for some fantasy interactions that are weird at their mildest and laughable at their worst (our favorite, when Wallis turns to the gawking Wally and tells her to get a life). The anachronisms eventually become so pointless and dull that its barely worth a titter when Wallis and her Benzedrine-buzzed party guests break into a bacchanal dance set to the Sex Pistols Pretty Vacant. Then again, that song title sums up W.E. pretty well, even better than the shallow pop tune Madonna co-wrote and sings over the end credits. W.E., a Weinstein Co. release, is rated R for some domestic violence, nudity and language. Running time: 119 minutes. One and a half stars out of four. CSUS student government (who spearheaded the push for online grading) has a solution: a pilot program recently implemented in the Crystal sophomore class. But one of the main concerns brought up in the online grading debate is, surprisingly, not a detail of the implementation of the system itself. Students and faculty seem instead to have differing opinions on whether or not the bad day mentality of the English Department, in which a teacher may help out a student by disregarding a lower score, really is fair. The argument seems to return back to favoritism and personal relationships between students and faculty members. As for most other local Bay Area schools, online grading has not proven to be a revolutionary nor destructive system. In fact, in California schools (given the recent Claremont McKenna scandal over grade ination), maybe real grades dont even matter. Perhaps this facet of education, unlike so many other parts of our lives, need not move forward with the age of technology.

MADONNA
Continued from page 19
(Andrea Riseborough) through the vantage point of a modern-day woman (played by Abbie Cornish) obsessed with the fabled romance between Simpson and Edward. The union is often portrayed as the ultimate example of true love: Simpson was married when the pair began their relationship and was forever scandalized in royal circles. When Edward became king, he planned to marry her, but opposition to the union was so great, he chose to give up his kingdom. The two later wed and became known as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. For some, it was a modern-day fairy tale, but its a notion Madonna debunks in W.E. I think a lot of women have that fantasy of about whats going to happen to them when they meet Mr. Right, Mr. Perfect, Mr. Complete Me, and then you realize that that doesnt actually exist, said the twice-divorced icon as she spoke about the lm in a suite at the Waldorf Astoria. Love exists; Im still a romantic, but its not that fairy tale that were all led to believe ... where the prince comes and kisses you. Its a message Madonna used to instill in her daughter when the star would read Lourdes the typical bedtime stories featuring a damsel in distress who is saved by a knight. Id get to the end of the story and go, Hey wait a second. Nobody asked her what she wanted.... I suddenly started seeing how misleading all of these fairy tales were, she said. She added: I think ultimately we have to save ourselves. ... Youre going to be seriously setting yourself up for failure and disappointment if you think that one person is going to save you.

Five NFL stars who became movie stars

By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Super Bowl Sunday is upon us, a special, heartwarming time to gather with friends, eat too much queso and make ridiculous side bets on how long the national anthem will last and who will be forced to punt first. Its also a good time to reflect on the many, many football players whove branched out into movies. Wed be here all day if we pondered college standouts like John Wayne and Dwayne Johnson, so were sticking to the NFL. Wed also be here all day if we considered all forms of entertainment, so were sticking to feature films so sadly, I cant give a gratuitous shout-out to my fellow SMU Mustang Dandy Don Meredith.

and being elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985. But hed already begun his acting career before he retired, playing a security chief The O.J.Simpson in Tow e r i n g Inferno (1974) and an astronaut in Capricorn One (1978). Probably his most famous film performances came in the Naked Gun trilogy, in which he played Frank Drebins best friend and partner, Nordberg, who often found himself in awkward situations.

scored more touchdowns (126) or rushing touchdowns (106), which put him in the Hall of Fame. His confident persona drew the attention of a Hollywood agent, who thought hed be perfect for action films. Brown was a revolutionary presence on the screen a virile, almost threatening black man, in contrast to the sophisticated characters Sidney Poitier played. And in movies like the 1969 Western 100 Rifles, he did something previously unheard of: an interracial love scene (with Raquel Welch).

Rocky movies; the character died in Rocky IV. His first crack at playing the lead, 1988s Action Jackson, didnt go so well. But hes rebounded nicely, including playing a version of himself as Tobias Funkes acting coach on a few episodes of Arrested Development.

defensive end and linebacker for the (then-Los Angeles) Rams, San Diego Chargers and Washington Redskins over three seasons.

Alex Karras:
You may know him best for his television work as Emmanuel Lewis adoptive dad, Mr. Papadapolis, on the feel-good 80s sitcom Webster. But before that, Karras put together more of an eclectic filAlex Karras mography than most football players who become movie stars. Karras was an All-Pro defensive tackle who played 12 seasons for the Detroit Lions between 1958 and 1970. Even before his football career was over, he played himself in 1968s Paper Lion. Famously, he punched a horse as the fearsome but dimwitted Mongo in Mel Brooks Blazing Saddles (1974). Karras played the sheriff in the classic teen-sex comedy Porkys and a closeted gay bodyguard in Victor/Victoria and those movies happened to come out on the same weekend in 1982, a real demonstration of his range.

Terry Crews:
I would argue that Terry Crews is better-known now as an actor than as a football player. Hes done everything from dopey comedies (Soul Plane, White Chicks) to bombastic action movies Terry Crews ( Te r m i n a t o r S a l va t i o n , The Expendables). He even has a bit part in the Oscar-nominated Bridesmaids as the boot-camp instructor whose classes Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph take in secret behind a tree. Whatever movie hes in, hes a welcome sight with his mix of intimidation and self-aware humor. Hes also carved out meaty television roles for himself on Everybody Hates Chris and Are We There Yet? Oh, yes, and he played football. He was a

Carl Weathers:
Come on, hes Apollo Creed! And he was in Predator. Weathers started out as a star linebacker at San Diego State University before going on to an extremely brief pro career with the Carl Weathers O a k l a n d Raiders in the early 70s. After a couple years in the Canadian Football League with the BC Lions, Weathers retired to pursue acting full-time in 1974. His most important role has been as Rocky Balboas nemesis and eventual friend in the first four

Jim Brown:
Spike Lee devoted an entire documentary, 2002s Jim Brown: AllAmerican, to Browns accomplishments on and off the field. One of the greatest running backs in football history, Brown played nine seasons Jim Brown with the Cleveland Browns, from 1957-65. When he retired, no player had run for as many yards (12,312) or

O.J. Simpson:
We really cant ignore him. So instead, let us now harken to a simpler, happier time, when O.J. was best known as a charismatic rentalcar pitchman and sometime actor. After winning the Heisman Trophy as a running back at USC in 1968, Simpson put together a stellar career over nine seasons with the Buffalo Bills before retiring with the San Francisco 49ers in 1979

Super Bowl ads that generate buzz after the game

By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Companies hope youll be gabbing about their Super Bowl ads on Monday morning. But the ultimate score is if those conver-

sations continue throughout the year. The Super Bowl is an advertisers biggest stage (more than 111 million fans are expected to tune in this year). Its also an advertisers biggest gamble (a 30-second spot costs $3.5 million). Marketers are willing to

take the risk, though: A successful ad can generate buzz well after the game for the companies, products and people who star in them. If you do it well, it has the opportunity to set your company straight or change the direction of your com-

pany, says Allen Adamson, a managing director at brand consulting firm Landor Associates. Youll never get all those people in one room again until next year. Here are three of the most talkedabout ads from last years Super

Bowl and what happened to the companies that created them: May the force be with you Volkswagens ad last year had everything to grab your attention: a cute, little boy, a retro theme, a funny

FOUR LEGGED FUN IN INDIO. Looking for a fast winter sport that doesnt require snow? Then its mallets up for Winter Polo in Indio, in the Coachella Valley of Southern Californias Riverside County. If you have ever wondered what the sport is like, try polo lessons at the venerable Empire Polo Club (familiar to some as the home of the Coachella Music Festival). Weekend and weeklong clinics provide you with a seasoned polo pony and knowledgeable teachers and this timeless sport offers a refreshing alternative to same old, same old skiing and snowboarding. United States Polo Association Nationally Accredited Polo Instructor Erik Wright, who teaches polo in the summer at the Horse Park at Woodside in the San Francisco Bay Area, holds winter clinics at Empires Polo School. Wright believes that great polo consists of understanding how to ride, hit and strategically play the game, and he patiently helps his students, from beginners to more experienced players, learn these three skills. Wrights programs include mounted and un-mounted sessions for all levels of play (with both group and private lesson formats available), chalk talks, hitting technique classes, video reviews, grass play and student tournaments. And, again, you do not need to own a horse; polo ponies are available. Bring the family. Empires Junior Polo Program offers young riders the opportunity to develop their polo skills. Pee Wee riders begin with lessons on a lead line while learning the basics of riding, holding a mallet and hitting a ball. Junior level riders are able to participate in classes that build on their riding and polo skills. Polo game rules are incorporated into the lessons as students learn how to play the game. The Empire Polo Club is located at 81-800 Avenue 51, Indio, CA. To learn more about lessons, contact Vicky Owens at (760) 3427755 or vickyowens@empirepolo.com or visit empirepolo.com/polo-school. *** AN OASIS IN THE DESERT. Want a comfy place to stay while in Indio? Best Western Date Tree Hotel Guest Service Manager Jacob Meyers and his friendly staff welcome travelers with refreshing fruit-avored ice water and a plate of dates. Room options include kitchenette and family suites featuring cable satellite television, high-speed Internet access, and DVD players with free

movies. Enjoy your complimentary breakfast either indoors or on the patio. Olympic-size heated swimming pool, hot tub and barbecue area on site. Pets welcome. 81909 Indio Blvd., Indio. www.datetree.com or (760) 3473421. *** MADMEN MENU. Hungry? Tucked away in an Indio strip mall is Cactus Jacks Bar & Grill, a classic steakhouse where Chef Martin Castellanos serves up appetizers like Iceberg Wedge salad, Panko crusted fresh asparagus fries and Seared Ahi Tuna, and Entrees including porterhouse steak, boneless cut prime rib, rack of lamb and Alaskan king crab legs. Keep some room for dessert. Caseys bread pudding, double rich chocolate cake and New York cheesecake are among the offerings. (What the heck, youre on vacation.) 82347 Highway 111, Indio. (760) 3421889. *** TRY A DATE SHAKE. Floyd and Bess Shields came to the California desert in 1924 and started Shields Date Garden, working long and hard to educate their customers about date culture. In the beginning, Mr. Shields would give his lecture personally, but he eventually recorded a slide presentation so that the show could run several times a day. Today, the 15-minute lm Romance and Sex Life of the Date runs continuously during store hours. Shields retail store sells a vast array of dates and date products and connects to a caf that serves up Date Tamales, Date Pancakes and, of course, Date Shakes. 80-225 U.S. Highway 111, Indio. www.shieldsdategarden.com or (760) 775-0902. *** PATTON MUSEUM. An unusual bit of American history awaits you 30 miles east of Indio at the General Patton Memorial Museum, with exhibits ranging from World War I through the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The museum is located at the heart of the Desert Training Center, established by Patton in 1942 to train American troops in desert warfare in preparation for the invasion of North Africa. The Desert Training Center

became the largest army training facility in the United States, training 60 divisions and more than 1 million soldiers. The museum, located at Chiriaco Summit at I-10 Freeway Exit 173, has a large gift shop specializing in military themed toy, apparel, souvenirs, Tshirts and books. (760) 227-3483. *** AND REMEMBER: Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travels immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing rsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way.

sold to cover the nonprots costs. Now with locations in San Jose and Foster City, the small nonprot is looking to expand its ability to help which requires more helping hands locally. Executive Director Jean Cecil explained its not just about giving a woman professional clothing. Condence is an important element to successfully nding a career. Women who come in are dressed with the help of volunteers, many of whom have 20 or more years experience in dressing professionally, Cecil said, adding they get to mentor the women. Its women helping women. Its really grassroots, said Lenore Wilkas, a volunteer and former board member from Foster City who was working in the Foster City shop Friday. Set up in a small shop, the San Mateo County location is smaller than its San Jose counterpart. The San Jose location outts about 100 women a month compared to the 10 to 15 at the Foster City location. Cecil hopes to change that in the years to come. The San Jose location is close to pub-

lic transportation, which increased access for women referred to the service. In addition, more volunteers and a work experience program with the women offers more bodies to help run the shop. Its not just retail experience gained by the women working. Cecil explained the women are also learning ofce skills, self-reliance and, of course, condence in a supportive environment. Along with helping prepare women, donated clothing are also sold in a boutique to help fund the organization that needs $35,000 a month to survive no small task Cecil said. Shopping supports the cause but also wont break the bank. Most items are reasonably priced at $35 or less. And the shop is lled with recognizable labels that change as often as donations come in. My husbands going to ask me why Im going home with more than I donated, laughed customer Dee Bailey, who scored a number of items Friday including a basic black purse for everyday use. Those looking to help can do so in a variety of ways. Volunteers are needed in hopes of expanding the hours of the Foster City store, which is currently only open on Fridays. Donations of business appropriate clothes are always needed especially in smaller sizes, like 0 and 2, and plus sizes. Lastly, like all nonprots, lieu fee to compensate for the loss of city-owned and managed parking spaces on the property. The rm is also open to discussing ideas for helping the city construct a parking structure on lot J, across Park Road from lot E. Equity Residential, a real estate investment trust based in Chicago, have a proposal for lot F, located between Lorton Avenue, Park Road, Howard Avenue and Bayswater Avenue; and lot N located between Lorton, Highland, Howard and Bayswater avenues. In partnership with San Francisco-based Steinberg Architects, the vision includes creating 140 urban ats consisting of one- and two-bedroom units, 90 of which could be designed to have direct access to landscaped areas. Parking for the proposal would be a combination of on-site and replacement parking for displaced spaces. In total, 19 proposals for downtown were received. Proposals were passed over for a variety of reasons such as requiring too much investment from the city, greater risk than city ofcials wantQaqish, who was just shy of turning 18, was in a car belonging to Quinteros mother, sitting in the middle of the rear seat as they and two other teens drove back to South San Francisco after a night of reportedly heavy drinking in Daly City and San Francisco. At approximately 3:30 a.m., as the group loudly discussed what radio station should play, Quintero drove at roughly 60 mph toward cars stopped for an unrelated accident. Unable to stop in time, Quintero reportedly veered to the right, crossing over two lanes of trafc and rear-ended a car that hit a third before stopping. No one was injured in those two vehicles but inside Quinteros car two of the passengers had minor injuries like bruising and chest pain. Qaqish was thrown forward by the impact and knocked unconscious. She died at the hospital. The California Highway Patrol reported nding an open alcohol container in the car and Quinteros blood alcohol level 90 minutes later tested .15 and .16. doll, washer machine and even his pet dog. Finally, he thinks hes done so when his dad uses a remote to start the Passat. The boy is shocked. Volkswagen took a gamble by releasing the spot before the game something most advertisers didnt do last year. But the move paid off: the ad quickly became a viral hit on video-sharing website YouTube, with 49.4 million views since. And it came in No. 3 on USA Todays Ad Meter, which ranks Super Bowl commercials. (The top two ads, tied for rst, was

developers have the ability as well as the experience to complete such developments and put forward ideas that met the citys downtown plan. Grosvenor, an international property development, investment and fund management group, put forward a mixed-use project using lot E located between Lorton Avenue, Park Road, Burlingame Avenue and Howard Avenue and the adjacent post ofce. The concept encompasses both properties and was created in partnership with San Francisco-based BAR Architects. It includes an urban village with 100 residential units, 35,000 square feet of retail and/or restaurant space and 125 residential parking spaces, according to a staff report written by Community Development Director Bill Meeker. Grosvenor proposes to either pay an in-

ed to take, had questionable feasibility or the response lacked adequate specic detail. Burlingame owns 20 surface parking lots distributed throughout downtown. The Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan, centered on the Burlingame and Howard avenues commercial area, encourages mixed-use and/or residential development to maintain and enhance the vibrant pedestrian-oriented shopping area. Since parking is considered extremely important to downtowns vitality, the request for proposal states that any new developments must provide for the replacement of public parking spaces either at the development site or at another location. Thus, there will be no net loss of parking downtown. The council meets in 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 7 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road.

QUINTERO
Continued from page 1
On Friday, a judge imposed a two-year term, less than half the four-year, fourmonth maximum allowed under the terms of the negotiated settlement or the ve years prosecutors originally requested. Either still fell short of the 11-year term Quintero faced if convicted by a jury in Qaqishs death. Its a little disappointing. Two years doesnt seem like a lot for causing the death of a human being, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti. But Quintero is extremely remorseful and hopes once freed from prison to share his story with others about the dangerous consequences of what he did, said defense attorney Guy Louie. It is a tragic mistake when kids get behind the wheel when theyre drinking, Louie said.

Quintero has been in custody in lieu of $325,000 bail since his arrest. He has earned credit of 391 days since against his sentence and Louie said while incarcerated Quintero earned his high school equivalency and completed a rehabilitation program. In another twist to the case, last month Department of Alcohol Beverage Control investigators arrested the two people allegedly responsible for furnishing the alcohol for Qaqish. Abduhl Azeen Buksh, 45, and a clerk at the market at 130 S. Spruce Ave. in South San Francisco, and 51-year-old Amelia Chin of Alameda, formerly of South San Francisco, both face charges. The ABC said Qaqish bought the liquor in clear view of both. Chin is the mother of one of Qaqishs friends and accompanied Qaqish inside the store to help her make the buy, according to the ABC.

a Bud Light ad showing dogs catering a party and a Doritos spot featuring a pug that knocks down a man who taunts him with the chips.) The ad also helped tout the new sedan. The Passat went on sale in the summer and has been a popular seller for Volkswagen in the U.S. In December, for example, volume sales of the sedan more than doubled to nearly 23,000 for the year. And the 6-year-old boy in the ad, Max Page, became a celebrity.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Social events might hold a strong appeal, yet large groups could unnerve you. Try to share your time with a few intimate friends whose company you enjoy. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you want to do something constructive, thats great. However, dont get down on your family or pals just because they arent of a similar mind. Do your own thing by yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You could be so busy watching others to make sure they do what is expected of them that you will forget about your own obligations. You need to be the one who sets the example. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If this turns out to be a day when there is no possibility of pleasing others, establish your own objectives and put all your efforts toward fulfilling them.
