WASHINGTON A landmark $25 billion settlement with the nations top mortgage lenders was hailed by government officials Thursday as long-overdue relief for victims of foreclosure abuses. But consumer advocates countered that far too few people will benet. The deal will reduce loans for only a fraction of those Americans who owe more than their homes are worth. It will also send checks to others who were improperly foreclosed upon. But

the amounts are modest. Its unclear how much the deal will help struggling homeowners keep their homes or benet those who have already lost theirs. About 11 million households are underwater, meaning they owe more than their homes are worth. The settlement would help 1 million of them. The total number of dollars is still small compared to the value of the mortgages that are underwater, said Richard Green, director of the University of Southern Californias

Ex-mayor admits stealing mixer to make pizza
LOS ANGELES The former mayor of a Los Angeles suburb has pleaded guilty to stealing a commercial food mixer from the local school district so he could make dough for his home pizza oven. Los Angeles County prosecutors say Larry Guidi entered the plea Wednesday to a felony count of grand theft. He was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and one years probation. A commercial burglary charge was dismissed. Guidi was a warehouse operations manager for the Hawthorne School District until he was red last year. Prosecutors say a security camera recorded him loading the giant mixer and a cart into his pickup truck in 2010. The $1,300 mixer was later returned. Guidi was the mayor of Hawthorne for nearly 20 years but didnt run for re-election last year. card and owers for his wife before taking her to dinner at Red Lobster and bowling afterward. Hurley ruled the couple should begin seeing a marriage counselor immediately. The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports Hurley felt this was a better resolution since the incident was minor and Bray had no prior arrests. Brays wife told the judge shes not afraid of her husband. A police report indicates Bray pushed his wife during an argument but never hit her. His multi-hit album, F.A.M.E. (Forgiving All My Enemies) was a top seller and he is nominated for three Grammys, including best R&B album. Attorney Mark Geragos request Chris Brown came after Browns probation ofcer wrote in a report that the singer has been truthful with ofcers, passed all required drug tests and has made great strides while under probation supervision. He has completed half of the six months worth of roadside cleanup, grafti removal and other manual labor that he was ordered to do after pleading guilty to attacking Rihanna. Brown was ordered to serve ve years on probation. The favorable probation report was written three years to the day after the attack, which left Rihanna bloody, bruised and unable to perform at the Grammys. Lomeli said he didnt think it was unreasonable for Brown to remain under supervision until he completes more of his community service hours. Brown has completed anger management and domestic violence counseling, and last year another judge relaxed a restraining order that had prohibited Brown and Rihanna from contacting each other or getting too close at music industry events.

Chris Brown to remain on supervised probation


LOS ANGELES Chris Brown has been getting attention for all the right reasons lately, but a judge said Thursday that he should continue to remain under the watchful eye of a probation ofcer as he works to complete the terms of his sentence for beating then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. The Grammy-nominated R&B singer did not appear for a brief hearing during which his attorney asked that Browns term on supervised probation be ended because of his good behavior. Superior Court Judge George Lomeli agreed with prosecutors that despite the singers high marks so far, he should continue to report to a probation ofcer in his home state of Virginia. Brown is in the midst of a remarkable comeback, with the singer set to perform at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night.

South City helps bomberos Dems optimistic


By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Cracking noises followed as the jaws of life were clamped onto the side of a Nissan Sentra parked at South San Francisco Fired Station 61 Thursday afternoon. With pieces of glass all around and wearing full gear in the unseasonably warm weather, the visiting reghters from Atotonilco El Alto, a city in the state of Jalisco, were in town to learn how to use equipment. The four reghters are from South San Franciscos Sister City. Lately, South City has been successful in upgrading equipment. Rather than getting rid of the old equipment, they are donating it to the sister city. Fire Chief Phil White explained the city realized it didnt make sense to donate equipment without training the staff who would be receiving it. So a year-long fundraising effort took place. This week, four bomberos, Spanish for reghters, traveled to South San Francisco to learn how to use the donated equipment that will soon be shipped to Mexico. Its really great. It helps our city and our city is grateful to have received it, said bombero Sergio Aguilar. Aguilar, 26, began working as a reghter in his town at 17. Nine years later, hes wearing a protective re-ghting outt one of four donated for the rst time. Of course equipment for ghting res will be donated, but four re-ghting suits along with air tanks are also being sent down, said Battalion Chief Arthur Mosqueda. Mosqueda explained many of the men in Mexico will get burned from steam while ghting res. Among the donations is a re engine from 1987, a variety of tools, air tanks and lots of hoses. While its

heading toward state convention

SACRAMENTO It looks like a good year to be a Democrat in California: The party swept every statewide ofce in 2010, has continued to widen its voter registration edge over Republicans and has a chance to gain a two-thirds majority in the state Senate this November. Yet this year also will give voters a chance to have a referendum of sorts on the Democratic approach to state government, as Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratically aligned interest groups seek to ask voters for tax increases to help address the states ongoing budget shortfall.

The success of those campaigns is anything but certain, with polls showing support for taxing the wealthy but no one else. H o w John Burton Democrats will position themselves for November will be a big part of the state partys annual convention this weekend in San Diego. One complication is the competition Brown faces as he seeks to qualify a ballot initiative that temporarily would raise incomes taxes on the wealthy and boost the state sales tax by half a cent.

Helpful arsonist admits torching dumpster, cars


A South San Francisco man accused of torching cars and a trash bin at his apartment complex before offering to help reghters extinguish the blazes is facing 16 months in prison after no Decorius Boglin pleading contest to three felonies. Decorius Devon Boglin, 25, pleaded no contest to felony arson of property and two counts of felony vandalism. In return, he will be given a 16-month term when formally sentenced March 21.

Local brief
Boglin set the fires at the Archstone apartment complex on McLellan Drive between Sept. 15 and Oct. 10, 2010 but fled to Alabama after authorities connected the helpful tenant with the re suspect they were seeking. He was extradited last September and has been held on $90,000 bail since while awaiting a Feb. 14 jury trial. Instead, he settled his case yesterday. Prosecutors say South San Francisco police were suspicious of Boglin from early on when a car lighter found in his pocket had been taken from one of the cars set ablaze. He denied any involvement when confronted a few days later and then ed. No other res happened after his disappearance.

a wonderful offer, one the bomberos were excited to take home, there will be a challenge with accepting the donations. The re engine holds water. Water pumped from it is pressurized. But water in Mexico isnt otherwise readily available through hydrants, explained Mosqueda. One alternative would be to continue to rell the water in the tank. How to do that though, is up to the bomberos to gure out once home. Another challenge is the air tanks, which cannot be easily relled. Its about an hour drive to rell them. Thankfully, Mosqueda said, the town doesnt often have large res that would necessitate the use of air tanks. When they need them, theyll have them, he said.

In response to the 2010 Supreme Courts Citizens United decision, Eshoo worked to pass a similar bill in the House, though it failed in the Senate. Eshoo is a lead co-sponsor of a restructured DISCLOSE Act aimed at directly addressing the rise of Super PACs and other secretive political organizations. The new DISCLOSE Act has been simplied from its previous version. It would require timely disclosure by Super PACs and 501(c)(4) organizations that inuence voters through political advertisements. It would require lobbyists, corporations and unions to disclose their contributions to these organizations and require Super PACs to reveal their top ve donors in each advertisement. It would also require the heads of these organizations to appear at the end of the ad to approve the message, similar to ads run by candidates themselves.

Marine sergeant not guilty in hazing case


KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii A military jury on Thursday found a Marine sergeant not guilty after authorities charged him with hazing a lance corporal who later committed suicide in Afghanistan. The general court martial panel of three ofcers and ve enlisted Marines deliberated about an hour before announcing their verdict that Sgt. Benjamin Johns was not guilty of violating a lawful order by wrongfully humiliating and demeaning Lance Cpl. Harry Lew. Tim Bilecki, Johns attorney, said his client feels relieved and exonerated by the outcome. The sergeant told Bilecki the verdict was a victory for Marines and non-commissioned ofcers. Johns will return to regular duty, and is looking forward to training once more, Bilecki said. He actually wants to be able to go and deploy again. He would like to be able to go down range with his unit and continue to serve his country, he said. Prosecutors alleged Johns hazed Lew by ordering him to dig a foxhole as punishment for falling asleep on guard duty at Benjamin their patrol base in a Johns remote part of Helmand province. They also charged the 26-year-old from Russelville, Ark., didnt intervene when a corporal punished Lew by making him carry a sandbag around the base. Bilecki told the jury in closing arguments the foxhole was needed to protect the base, which had already come under attack by Taliban ghters multiple times, and keep Lew awake while on watch duty. If something is necessary for the mission, its not hazing, Bilecki said. Johns couldnt allow Lew to nish his shift early and go to sleep because that would reward sleeping on watch, he said. A guilty verdict would paralyze the noncommissioned ofcers who lead Marines, he argued. It forces a squad leader to do nothing for fear of going to trial, he said. Bilecki also told jurors Johns stopped the sandbag carrying as soon as he became aware of it. Johns is one of three Marines accused of hazing Lew in the hours before he fatally shot himself at Patrol Base Gowragi on April 3. The 21-year-old was the nephew of U.S. Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif. There hasnt been any evidence to prove Lew killed himself because of how he was treated, so the military judge presiding over the trial, Col. Michael Richardson, said jurors wouldnt be told about the suicide. They were only told that Lew, of Santa Clara, Calif., has died.

Scientists say NASA cutting missions to Mars


By Seth Borenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Scientists say NASA is about to propose major cuts in its exploration of other planets, especially Mars. And NASAs former science chief is calling it irrational. With limited money for science and an overbudget new space telescope, the space agency essentially had to make a choice in where it wanted to explore: the neighboring planet or the far-off cosmos. Mars lost.

Two scientists who were briefed on the 2013 NASA budget that will be released next week said the space agency is eliminating two proposed joint missions with Europeans to explore Mars in 2016 and 2018. NASA had agreed to pay $1.4 billion for those missions. Some Mars missions will continue, but the fate of future ights is unclear, including the much-sought ight to return rocks from the red planet. The two scientists, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the budget, said the cuts to the Mars missions are part of a proposed reduction of

about $300 million in NASAs $1.5 billion planetary science budget. More than $200 million in those cuts are in the Mars program, they said. The current Mars budget is $581.7 million. To me, its totally irrational and unjustified, said Edward Weiler, who until September was NASAs associate administrator for science. We are the only country on this planet that has the demonstrated ability to land on another planet, namely Mars. It is a national prestige issue. Weiler said he quit last year because he was tired of ghting to save Mars from the budget knife.

Obama frees 10 states from No Childlaw


By Kimberly Heing and Ben Feller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON It could be the beginning of the end for No Child Left Behind. The goal was lofty: Get all children up to par in math and reading by 2014. But the nation isnt getting there, and now some states are getting out. In a sign of whats to come, President Barack Obama on Thursday freed 10 states from some of the landmark laws toughest requirements. Those states, which had to commit to their own, federally approved plans, will now be free, for example, to judge students with methods other than test scores. They also will be able to factor in subjects beyond reading and math. We can combine greater freedom with greater accountability, Obama said from the White House. Plenty more states are bound to take him up on the offer. While many educators and many governors celebrated, congressional Republicans accused Obama of executive overreach, and education and civil rights groups questioned if schools would be getting a pass on aggressively helping poor and minority children

the kids the 2002 law was primarily designed to help. The rst 10 states to be declared free from the education law are Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Tennessee. The only state that applied for the exibility and did not get it, New Mexico, is working with the administration to get approval. Twenty-eight other states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have signaled that they, too, plan to ee the law in favor of their own plans. The governments action on Thursday was a tacit acknowledgement that the laws main goal, getting all students up to speed in reading and math by 2014, is not within reach. The states excused from following the law no longer have to meet that deadline. Instead, they had to put forward plans showing they will prepare children for college and careers, set new targets for improving achievement among all students, reward the best performing schools and focus help on the ones doing the worst. Obama said he was acting because Congress had failed to update the law despite widespread agreement it needed to be xed.

Women at war: Pentagon is easing its job limits


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON New orders from the Pentagon: The military on Thursday formally opened thousands of jobs to women in units that are closer to the front lines than ever before, reecting whats already been going on as female American soldiers ght and die next to their male comrades. The new rules, affecting thousands of jobs, will break down more of the ofcial barriers that have restricted the military positions

women can take. Theyre being sent to Congress, and if lawmakers take no action after 30 work days the policy will take effect. The changes still arent coming fast enough for some in Congress or the military. They noted that the rules still ban women from serving as infantry, armor and special operations forces, which are considered the most dangerous combat jobs. Instead, they reect whats been happening for the past 10 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. They will allow women to peradvertisement

form many of the jobs they are already doing but in smaller units, closer to the ghting and once considered too dangerous. Unfortunately, the conclusions of this report do not go far enough, said Rep. Loretta Sanchez, a member of the House Armed Services Committee who started a caucus on women in the military. Sanchez said she was very disappointed that the Defense Department didnt lift the ban on combat jobs for women. Because service in combat gives troops an

advantage for promotions and job opportunities, it has been more difcult for women to move to the higher ranks. A 1994 Pentagon policy bans women from being assigned to ground combat units below the brigade level. A brigade is roughly 3,500 troops split into several battalions of about 800 soldiers each. Historically, brigades were based farther from the front lines and they often include top command and support staff, while battalions now open to women are usually in closer contact with the enemy.

Feds require health plan summary guide


By Ricardo Alonso Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Dont have the slightest clue what your health insurance covers? The Obama administration says thats going to change. Officials announced Thursday that starting later this year private health plans will have to provide consumers with a user-friendly summary of whats covered, along with key cost details such as copays and deductibles. Just six pages long. No ne print. And because the summaries will use a single standard format, it will allow apples to apples comparisons among health plans that arent possible now. That will help working spouses trying to pick between employer plans, as well as people who buy coverage directly from an insurance company. If an insurance plan offers substandard coverage in some area, they wont be able to hide it in dozens of pages of text, said Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner, who also oversees implementation of President Barack Obamas health care law. Insurers and business groups were unhappy, calling it another costly new regulation under the overhaul. Consumer groups said the new summaries wont be perfect, but called them a strong start. Employees should start seeing them during open enrollment season this fall. One shortcoming is that the summaries wont include premiums. Administration of-

cials said they ran into logistical problems trying to do that, and that premiums should be easily available anyway, either from their employer or directly from a health plan. Part of the problem with listing premiums is that insurers can currently charge more for the exact coverage to people in poor health. Although the health system overhaul itself continues to divide the public, a major poll last year found that 84 percent of Americans support insurance summaries. The requirement takes effect Sept. 23 and applies to all private insurance, including employer coverage and plans purchased individually, affecting about 150 million to 180 million Americans. Many big employers currently provide such information to workers during open enrollment. But the federal summary goes further. It requires something new so-called coverage examples that give a ballpark estimate of the cost of treatment for a typical individual for two common health conditions: normal childbirth and managing diabetes. A preliminary version of the regulations also called for an example focusing on breast cancer. But Health and Human Services ofcials said that proved too complicated, since there are different approaches to treatment. We didnt take this off because (treatment) happens to be more expensive, said Steve Larsen, head of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight. It just needed more work.

Gingrich hopes high road, new funds can save him


By Charles Babington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND Newt Gingrich, suddenly in danger of losing his perch as Mitt Romneys strongest GOP challenger, is netuning his presidential campaign to place more emphasis on raising money, guarding his home turf and trying to avoid nasty quarrels with the front-runner. Rick Santorums stunning success in this weeks elections in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri has fueled his claim that he, not Gingrich, is best qualied to rally conservatives who feel Romney is too moderate and unreliable. Gingrich, the former House speaker, again faces a dilemma that has dogged him for much of the election. Should he show his feistier, meaner side at the risk of turning off voters who want pragmatic solutions more than expressions of anger? Or should he use a tamer, high-minded tone and risk losing economically anxious, resentful Republicans such as those who handed him his only victory, in South Carolina? His aide R.C. Hammond said Gingrich

favors the second option, at least for now. We need to go hard at demonstrating we are the one campaign of leadership, Hammond said in an interview in Cleveland, where Gingrich spoke Wednesday without mentioning Santorum, Romney or his own poor showing in Tuesdays voting. Gingrich wants to avoid the harsh personal exchanges with Romney that have sometimes dominated the Republican campaign, Hammond said, and he wants to show hes a better choice than Santorum by letting voters compare their records. Gingrich plans few public appearances in the coming week, and none in highly competitive states. He will speak at a major convention of conservatives in Washington on Friday. He plans to spend Monday through Wednesday in California, mixing a few public events with eight fundraisers, Hammond said. On Feb. 17 and 18, Gingrich will campaign in Georgia, the state he represented in Congress for 20 years ending in 1998. He needs to win Georgia, Tennessee and Oklahoma in the March 6 Super Tuesday primary, and either win Ohio or come close.

American Indian tribe suing beer companies for alcohol problems


By Grant Schulte
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LINCOLN, Neb. An American Indian tribe sued some of the worlds largest beer makers Thursday, claiming they knowingly contributed to devastating alcohol-related problems on South Dakotas Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota said it is demanding $500 million in damages for the cost of health care, social services and child rehabilitation caused by chronic alcoholism on the reservation, which encompasses some of the nations most impoverished counties. The lawsuit led in U.S. District Court of

Nebraska also targets four beer stores in Whiteclay, a Nebraska town near the reservations border that, despite having only about a dozen residents, sold nearly 5 million cans of beer in 2010. Tribal leaders and activists blame the Whiteclay businesses for chronic alcohol abuse and bootlegging on the Pine Ridge reservation, where all alcohol is banned. They say most of the stores customers come from the reservation, which spans southwest South Dakota and dips into Nebraska. You cannot sell 4.9 million 12-ounce cans of beer and wash your hands like Pontius Pilate, and say weve got nothing to do with it being smuggled, said Tom White, the tribes Omaha-based attorney.

The challenges of revising downtown Burlingame


he city of Burlingame has a downtown that should be replicated elsewhere. It has a high school and large park adjacent to a train station with a long pedestrian-oriented shopping street leading directly to it. At the opposite end of the street, it has a City Hall and library within a short walk and a variety of housing singlefamily homes, apartment buildings and condominiums sprinkled next to all. It also benets from close proximity to a wealthy town in the hills that uses it as its primary gathering place and shopping district. In the center is a post ofce surrounded by underutilized space, parking lots and is anchored by a brand-new grocery store next to another highend grocery store at its northern edge. If one were to draw an ideal downtown, it would be Burlingames. It is somewhat large, but not too large, with plenty of parking, shops and restaurants for its residents to enjoy and to draw those from other cities and towns. You shouldnt mess with it, right? Well, maybe. At least that is what

Editorial
is being proposed right now. One plan, a $15.9 million proposal, would focus on streetscape improvements that could lead to the thinning of the auto portion of Burlingame Avenue at the heart of the district to widen the sidewalks. Doing so would eliminate the slanted parking on the street and replace it with parallel parking. Another separate plan, which is just now beginning to be discussed, envisions new housing and retail in city-owned parking lots with the provision, now this is key, that no parking spaces would be lost. Let us repeat, no parking spaces would be lost. The idea is to revitalize downtown, get better use of languid lots and create residential space for ready-made shoppers who would live downtown. One of the proposals discusses using the post ofce site, which has been discussed as being for sale, but has yet to be ofcially made for sale. Both plans are early in the process, but seem to be touched by modern urban design concepts that harken European villages that envision walkable communities, transitbased housing and better use of parking lots. But make no mistake, the citys downtown is not a suburban strip mall with a yolk of retail and an egg white of parking. It is much different, and possibly even the exact concept already of what is envisioned. It is inherently walkable, with a ne mix of everything a downtown could need. But that is not to say that improvements should not be made. All ne cities are in constant need of improvement to maintain a competitive advantage and to retain its tax base. Burlingame Avenue is nice, but needs a refresher if it is to keep its reputation as a destination. Widening sidewalks may make it better, but it will have an impact on those who visit and on those who keep their shops on the Avenue. It is already challenging to drive down the Avenue, thinning it would make it more challenging. But perhaps that is the intent. Some contend that the city should just shut down the street to auto trafc or make Burlingame Avenue one-way.

That could be in order, but city ofcials should keep in mind that there will be many in opposition. As far as developing lots, there may be some opportunity as long as the concept that no parking will be lost is front and center. Downtown already has an oddly used parking corridor between Burlingame and Howard avenues and there may be an opportunity to revise the ow with a new parking structure. However, any proposal that would call for the removal of the post ofce building will certainly not pass muster with those keen on historic preservation. The city has already lost some historic buildings like its original City Hall in nearly that exact spot. The time for that type of progress has passed. As the city embarks on the discussion of these two plans, there should be patient deliberation on possibilities and impacts. Burlingame is sometimes criticized for taking too long on projects, but in this case, these are two plans with several facets that should be measured, inclusive and wide-scoping.

Letters to the editor


Mels Bowl development appealed
Editor, The Redwood City Council will be considering an appeal of the proposed housing development on the former Mels Bowl site. As a Redwood City resident, I am concerned that this otherwise beautiful development is 100 percent market rate and, as such, does not address the needs of our community. The Mels Bowl site is right on El Camino, across from a bus stop, and surrounded by working family neighborhoods. Redwood City is currently an inclusive, thriving community, but we live in such a high cost area, residents are hanging on by their ngernails. The median income in San Mateo County is $110,000. Clearly, thats not what most of us make, so why are proposed housing developments catering to people who make that and more? Redwood City, and every other city in California, have lost their Redevelopment Agency funds, so its critical that we nd ways to create the housing needed by those of us not making $110,000 a year in order for Redwood City to continue to be an inclusive and thriving community.

Diana Reddy Redwood City The letter writer is a member of the Redwood City Local Housing Committee.

Mels site needs affordable housing


The Daily Journal received a copy of this letter addressed to the Redwood City Council: As a concerned senior citizen of Redwood City, I am urging you to reconsider nal approval of the Urban Housing Groups development at the Mels Bowl property at 2580 El Camino Real until there can be further discussion about housing affordability that meets the needs of our diverse community. I was happy to rst hear about the development, a handsome plan, smack on the main transportation corridor, near downtown and close to health services, libraries, entertainment and shops, and wellpleased at how it would t into the vision of the Grand Boulevard Initiative of a full community life

along El Camino Real. Certainly a plus for Redwood Citys vibrant redevelopment plans. However, I was sorry to learn that there was no affordability included in the development. I understand that the developer met every requirement asked for by the city, or in other words did everything right. However, no affordable units were included because the developer chose not to do so. Our senior population continues to grow at a rapid rate; large homes become too much to manage and non-driving years loom. Thus appropriate, affordable housing along transportation corridors with easy access to essential services becomes more and more important. Therefore is seems imperative that Redwood City consider inclusionary housing with each new development, one that will allow people of all ages and economic levels to be able to live here. Thank you for considering this appeal request.

Desalination plan for Saltworks causes concern


Editor, The proposed use of desalination to solve the problem of providing water to the Saltworks development poses even more concerns. A 2003 Redwood City government whitepaper enumerates signicant disadvantages of building a desalination plant in Redwood City. Chief among them was high operating costs that will remain long after the developer leaves town with huge prots. Desalination is the most energy intensive and expensive way of procuring water; a desalination project in Marin County has been delayed by environmental concerns and suffers from a lack of enthusiastic buyers because its water is much more expensive to produce. It is also a mistake to assume the desalinated water would only supply the Saltworks. Who among us would willingly trade our pure Hetch Hetchy drinking water for Bay water?

t is becoming increasingly clear that it would be a grave mistake to spend another dime right now on Californias high-speed rail fantasy. The latest blow to the project comes from state Auditor Elaine Howle, who said that the programs overall nancial situation has become increasingly risky. Her negative report comes on top of severe criticism from the Legislative Analysts Ofce and the rail authoritys own peer review group. They all have accurately concluded that the rail project lacks anywhere near the state, federal and private nancing required to build a $98 billion high-speed rail system from the Bay Area to Los Angeles. Howle questions the rail authoritys ridership projections, saying the group that reviewed those numbers was hand-picked by the authoritys chief executive ofcer. Ridership is the foundation of the scal viability of the rail system. Without an adequate number of riders, there will not be a sufcient revenue stream to pay for operational expenses and to attract private investors, both of which are requirements for the success of high-speed rail and to meet the mandates of the rail bond measure voters passed in 2008. There is no way the high-speed rail system can meet the latest forecast of 36.8 million rides a year on a San Francisco-to-Los Angeles system. Where will the riders come from? There are only about 3.2 million airline riders a year going to and from Los Angeles and San Francisco and another 1.7 million traveling between Los Angeles and Oakland and San Jose. Thats 4.9 million airline riders. Even if all of them quit ying and took the train, another 31.9 million riders would have to come from those who now drive. But why would huge numbers of motorists choose a 2.5-hour train ride when they have rejected a one-hour plane ride? The auditor also found that: The cost estimates do not include phase one operating and maintenance costs, yet based on data in the plan, these costs could total about $96.8 billion from 2025 through 2060. There are no details about the current largest potential funding source, the federal government. There have been inappropriate contracting practices such as splitting Information Technology services totaling $3.1 million into 13 individual contracts with one vendor. The State Contracting Manual prohibits agencies from splitting contracts to avoid competitive bidding requirements. The authority is missing statements of economic interest for some of its contractors despite the conictof-interest code requirements; and the authority does not require any of its subcontractors to le statements of economic interest. As a result, the authority has no way to verify that subcontractors do not have real or perceived conicts of interest. It is time for Gov. Jerry Brown to face reality and kill the high-speed rail project as it is now congured. Committing billions of dollars of money that could be used for schools and other needed state services makes no sense at a time of large budget decits and could undermine the governors ballot initiative asking for tax increases.

Stocks close higher

Wall Street
is trading at its highest level since December 2000. The markets have had a strong start this year, mostly because of optimism about the economy. The Dow has gained 5.5 percent, the S&P 7.5 percent. But Zirin said the markets had assumed Greece would reach a deal to keep from defaulting, which is why stocks didnt skyrocket on the news. The deal calls for Greece to make steep cuts in government jobs and spending. Greeces so-called troika of lenders the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund insisted on the cuts. The cuts are one condition of a (euro) 130 billion bailout for Greece, without which it cant afford (euro) 14.5 billion worth of bond payments due March 20. But the cuts will be hard to implement in a country that has grown used to profligate government spending. Workers are already protesting that job cuts and pay cuts have been too severe. The country has missed other targets for reducing its debts. It also still has to persuade private investors to agree to losses on their holdings, which will make those investors less likely to buy Greek bonds in the future.

NEW YORK The stock market nally got a deal in Greece, but it didnt produce much of a rally. U.S. stocks rose Thursday morning after Greece announced an agreement to cut costs and keep from defaulting on its debt next month, an event that could have shocked the world nancial system. But stocks dropped later in the morning and never returned to their highs for the day. Analysts cautioned that the market had expected the deal in Greece and warned that Europe still faced problems.

WASHINGTON FBI background interviews of some people who knew Apple co-founder Steve Jobs reveal a man driven by power and alienating some of the people who worked with him. In the FBI documents released Thursday, many of those who knew Jobs praised him, speaking highly of Jobs character and integrity and asserting that he always conducted his business dealings in a reputable manner. They recommended him for a post during the George H.W. Bush administration. The 1991 interviews were part of a background check for an appointment to the Presidents Export Council. The Commerce Department conrmed Thursday that Jobs did serve on the council during the rst Bush administration. Export council members serve in an unpaid capacity and meet at least twice a year, advising the president on trade policy. One person told FBI agents the Apple

co-founders enormous power caused him to lose sight of honesty and integrity, leading him to distort the truth. Another interview subject described Jobs to the FBI as a deceptive person Steve Jobs someone who was not totally forthright and honest and as having a tendency to distort reality in order to achieve his goals. However, one former business associate who had a falling out with Jobs said that, while honest and trustworthy, Jobs nonetheless had questionable moral character. The ex-business associate said he had not received stock that would have made him a wealthy man and that he felt bitter toward Jobs and felt alienated from him. Mr. Jobs alienated a lot of people at Apple Computer Inc. as a result of his ambition, an FBI agent wrote in an interview summary.

SAN FRANCISCO LinkedIn provided further evidence of online networkings popularity and moneymaking potential with a fourth-quarter performance that got a glowing review on Wall Street. The results announced Thursday indicate LinkedIn Corp. is playing an increasingly influential role in the employment market as millions more people post their resumes there. The professional-networking service has been turning into a digital rolodex for

headhunters and job seekers alike. LinkedIn added another 14 million proles during the nal three months of last year to bring its total membership to 145 million. Meanwhile, more companies have been paying to get additional access to LinkedIns membership as the U.S. economy has been steadily adding jobs in recent months. LinkedIn gets more than two-thirds of its revenue from fees it charges companies, recruiting services and other people who want broader access to the proles and other data on the companys website. The rest comes from advertising.

Hillsdale closing in on Ocean championship

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Warm up the T-shirt printing press and get out the Division Champion stencil while there are still two games left in the Peninsula Athletic League girls soccer season, the team from Hillsdale took a huge step toward locking up the Ocean Division title, defeating Sequoia 1-0 Thursday afternoon. The win gives the Knights a four-point lead

over the Cherokees in the standings with two games left in the regular season. And while Hillsdale coach Samia Shoman appeared reticent to count her chickens before they hatched, lets just say the shell is cracked and there are beaks peaking out. Were not champions yet, Shoman said. We need to win one of our last two. Were going to take it one game at a time. We like to be humble, anything can happen. We are not considering ourselves champions yet.

The Knights play Jefferson and Mills next week to close out the season those teams are a combined 8-13-3. Thursdays game was, in a sense, Sequoias championship game the Cherokees only loss in the regular season came at the hand of the Knights, 2-1, in a match played at Hillsdale. At 10-1-0, the Cherokees were the only thing standing between the Knights and a clear path to the division crown Sequoia played 80 minutes of soccer like that was the case.

These girls have been growing throughout the season, said Sequoia coach Melissa Schmidt. Their play has improved tremendously. They didnt do anything wrong today. They played a great, hard game. We had a lot of really good opportunities that didnt quite get in. It just didnt fall our way. The only goal that fell came in the 65th minute on a beautifully executed set piece by the Knights in which a couple of super sophomores

With his team leading rival Terra Nova 35-29 heading into the nal match, the task for Half Moon Bays 170-pound wrestler Joe Lowman was simple: dont get pinned. A pin is worth six points and anything less would give the Cougars their rst Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division wrestling title since 2006. Not only did Lowman not get pinned, he ipped the script, sticking his opponent at 1:38 of the second period to put an exclamation mark on the victory in Pacifica Thursday night, 40-29. Not that getting pinned ever crossed Lowmans mind. Im going out there to win, Lowman said. I wasnt really thinking about [the score]. It was pretty awesome. Half Moon Bay (8-0 PAL Bay) trailed 29-25 heading into the nal three matches of the night and won all three. Manny Arellanes pinned his opponent in the second round of the 152-pound match to put the Cougars ahead to stay, 31-29. Billy Hamilton followed at 160 and picked up three more points with an 8-2 victory setting up Lowmans championship match. We knew it would be this close, said Half Moon Bay coach Tom Baker.

Ten years later, Tiger Woods must have wondered what kept him away from the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. On a spectacular day of scenery and scoring, Johnson blasted a tee shot on the third hole at Pebble Beach and then pitched in for eagle from 41 yards in front of the green. He added another eagle on his way to a 9-under 63 and a three-way tie atop the leaderboard Thursday. Woods was ve shots to par out of the lead, a solid start to his PGA Tour seaDustin Johnson son. He had six birdies in a 4-under 68 at Spyglass Hill, the fourth-best score on that course. Spyglass was hardest of the three courses, though not by much. The weather was so pure that all three courses played about one shot under par. Charlie Wi was over at Tiger Woods Monterey Peninsula and had a shot at 59 without ever knowing it. Wi was 8 under after a tap-in birdie on the 13th hole, and needed only three birdies in the last ve holes. Trouble is, he had no idea the Shore Course was a 70. He made one more birdie and had a 9-under 61. I was looking at the scorecard like, Whats the par here? I did not know it was a par 70, Wi said. That 59 never crossed my mind. Not once.

St. Ignatius tops Serra in The Jungle


By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In the annual rivalry game between Serra and Saint Ignatius, it was the smallest, fastest Wildcat that owned The Jungle. The Padres had no answer for S.I. guard Trevor Dunbar Thursday night, especially in the fourth quarter when the game mattered most. Dunbar scored 11 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter as the Wildcats defeated Serra 57-54.

According to the Serra Athletics home page, it marks the rst time since 1999 that an S.I. time has come into The Jungle and walked out as kings of it. Give S.I. credit, said Serra head coach Chuck Rapp. They beat us to loose balls. I think they got more 50-50 balls than we did, especially in the rst half. They shot the ball, they made some big shots, some tough shots. You have to give them credit. I dont think we played very well. It has to be disappointing for Serra consid-

ering that the game couldnt have gotten off to a much better start. In front of an always-raucous Padre crowd, the home team jumped out to an 18-8 lead in a quarter where Serra shot 7-of-15 from the eld and was a perfect 3-of-3 from the free throw line. The Wildcats, on the other hand, shot 36 percent from the oor. But that all changed very abruptly for the Padres in the second quarter. Serra missed their rst 10 shots from the eld and didnt hit

from the oor until Henry Caruso knocked down a jumper in the lane with 1:44 to go in the half. Their ice-cold touch was the window the Wildcats needed to overcome their decit. For that, they put the ball in the hands of Stephen Domingo, who hit his rst six shots from the eld to begin the game, including a pair of 3s, that ultimately gave St. Ignatius a ve-point leading heading into recess.

49ersJoshua Morgan eager to get back


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Joshua Morgan is running, and even sprinting, again on the surgically repaired right leg that limited him to only ve games in 2011 for the NFC West champions. Im back! Morgan said Thursday, sporting his typical smile as he left team headquarters. Im running again and have been for about two weeks yes, sprinting. Morgan broke a bone in his lower

leg Oct. 9 against Tampa Bay, had surgery to have screws inserted and was placed on season-ending injured reserve. It was Joshua Morgan tough watching as his team went 13-3 in coach Jim Harbaughs rst season to end an eight-year drought without a playoff berth or winning record. While Morgan is set to become a free agent, Harbaugh has said the

team plans to bring him back for next season. Morgan insists hell be ready to re-sign the moment the team reaches out. The free agency period begins March 13. When they tell me, Ill be there, he said, walking well on his nowhealthy leg. The 26-year-old Morgan, a fouryear veteran out of Virginia Tech, had 15 catches for 220 yards and one touchdown. Five of those catches came in that game with the Buccaneers before he was injured. San Francisco, which lost in overtime of the NFC championship

game last month to the eventual Super Bowl champion Giants, certainly could use Morgan back in top form. General manager Trent Baalke is expected to address the receiving corps in Aprils draft after the 49ers receivers managed just one catch for 3 yards in the 20-17 loss to New York at Candlestick Park on Jan. 22. Morgan made his way through orange cones and dirt Thursday as the 49ers facility is under construction for initial work on a new $1 billion stadium nearby. It is set to be a 1.85 million

square-foot facility with a 68,500seat stadium featuring 165 luxury suites and 9,000 club seats. The venue also will be constructed with the versatility to host a wide range of events, including domestic and international soccer, college football, motocross, concerts and civic events. Last Thursday at the Super Bowl in Indianapolis, NFL owners approved a $200 million loan to help the 49ers build a stadium near their current training site. Team President Jed Yorks hope is to be in the new venue by 2014, 2015 at the latest.

Raiders release cornerback Stanford Routt


By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Less than one year ago, Al Davis made Stanford Routt one of the cornerstones of the Oakland Raiders defense with a lavish contract that kept him from free agency. Routt became the first player casualty under the new regime with the Raiders. Routt was released on Thursday just one year into a $54.5 million, ve-year contract, ending his sevenyear tenure in Oakland as the team heads in a new direction. The move by new general manager Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen signies a change of

approach from when Davis ran the team and was fiercely loyal to players he drafted. Davis died Oct. 8, setting the stage for a Stanford Routt busy offseason. McKenzie was hired in January and red coach Hue Jackson after one season on his rst ofcial day on the job. He then began a coaching search that ended up with Allen, and now changes are being made to the roster even before free agency begins next month. After the news conference announcing Allens hiring on Jan. 30, McKenzie said the Raiders had Mota made one appearance against Texas during the 2010 World Series, when the Giants wrapped up the franchises first championship since moving West in 1958.

some contracts that were out of whack. Apparently, Routts was one of them. Routt got the big contract after grading out as one of the leagues top cover cornerbacks in 2010. The oppositions 39.4 percent completion rate when throwing at him was the lowest of any player targeted at least 60 times that season, according to STATS LLC. Davis gave Routt the big contract, while letting Pro Bowler Nnamdi Asomugha test free agency. Asomugha later signed with Philadelphia, making Routt the No. 1 cornerback in Oakland. While he once again held opponents to a low completion percentage (47.4 percent) and allowed less and Carlos Ruiz as the only players to tie or lead the MLS in goals in consecutive seasons. Wondolowski has also played ve games for the U.S. national team.

than 6 yards per pass attempt for the season, according to STATS, he was susceptible to penalties and touchdowns. He was credited with allowing eight touchdown passes tied for the second-most in the NFL and led the league with 17 penalties committed, according to STATS. More changes are sure to come on the Raiders, who have not had a winning record or made the playoffs since 2002. Oakland is coming off one of its worst defensive seasons ever during last years 8-8 campaign. The Raiders had franchise worsts in touchdown passes allowed (31), yards per carry (5.1), yards passing (4,262) and total yards (6,201), while giving up the third-most points (433) in team history. missed by many in New York. A dispute between Time Warner Cable and MSG Network is keeping the Knicks off that system. MSG said its Jeremy Lin ratings are up 36 percent over its season average in the two games since Lin moved into the starting lineup on Monday.

Oakland also became the sixth team since the 1970 merger to allow at least 2,000 yards rushing and 4,000 yards passing in a season. The Raiders also set an NFL record last season with 163 penalties for 1,358 yards. Routt has played 110 games with 53 starts since being drafted in the second round by Oakland in 2005. He became a starter his third season before falling behind Chris Johnson on the depth chart in 2008-09. He worked his way back into the starting lineup in 2010 and was Oaklands top cornerback last season when he set career highs with four interceptions and 15 passes defensed. increased dramatically. The committee also proposed a rule that would require a player who loses his helmet during a play to stop participating and leave the game for one play, and proposed changes to rules regarding blocking below the waist and blocking on punt returns.

Warriors down Nuggets Aldridge becomes


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER Golden State coach Mark Jackson thought Stephen Currys stat line was a thing of beauty. Not so his dance. After sinking one of his six 3-pointers as the Warriors pulled away from the Denver Nuggets for a 109-101 victory Thursday night, Curry did the old shimmy-shake as he trotted back downcourt. It was admittedly the only blemish of the night for Curry, who scored a season-best 36 points and sank 13 of 17 shots, including 6 of 9 from behind the arc. Just a spectacular night. When you look at that stat line its a thing of Stephen Curry beauty, said Jackson, who didnt extend his rave review to Currys lame dance move. I tried to hold my laugh and stay in coach mode but I had to giggle, Jackson said. Now I know why my dad told me to stop doing it. Curry was embarrassed by what he fears will become the most mocked dance by an athlete since New England Patriots tight end Rob Growkowski was caught on camera dancing the night away shirtless after the Super Bowl last weekend. I dont know what got into me, Curry said. But I turned around and I saw (Jackson). We had joked about it earlier that it was his signature move. I havent practiced it but Im scared to look at the lm. That was the rst time and probably the last time. The Nuggets had more of a problem with his hot hand than his shimmying shoulders. They lost their fth straight game overall and their fth straight at home, too. Theyve lost seven of eight as they ght through injuries, absences, physical fatigue and mental exhaustion. The eight-point differential doesnt begin to tell how lopsided this one was. The Warriors shot 52 percent both overall and from 3-point range, sinking 13 of 25 from behind the arc, they blocked 14 shots to Denvers one and started the second half with a 24-5 run. Klay Thompson scored a career-best 19 points, Dorrell Wright had 15 and Monta Ellis 14 for the Warriors, who used a 37-20 third quarter to put this one away. That was horrible, Nuggets guard Arron Afalo said. Youve got to give the Warriors credit, but on our home oor, that was horrible.

Trailing 51-47 at the half, Golden State opened the third quarter with a 14-2 run sparked by three jumpers from Curry and a fadeaway basket by Ellis that made it 61-53. A 3-pointer by Afalo, who led the Nuggets with 26 points, stopped the run. But the Warriors scored the next 10 points, capped by a 3-pointer from Curry, who did the regrettable shoulder-shake dance back downcourt in front of the scorers table. The Warriors made 14 of 20 shots in the decisive third quarter, taking an 84-71 lead, and they led by 20 points in the fourth quarter. I think we just stopped doing the things that we were doing earlier, and I blame myself for that because I was supposed to bring the energy, said Nuggets rookie Kenneth Faried, who set career highs with 10 points and eight rebounds. We just need to stay focused on and not get down on each other. The Nuggets look nothing like the team that started out 14-5 and was the feel-good story of the NBA for the rst six weeks of the season following the long lockout. Without starters Danilo Gallinari, their leading scorer, and Timofey Mozgov, who are both sidelined by sprained ankles, the rest of the roster isnt nearly as effective as it was before. Forward Corey Brewer will get the majority of Gallinaris minutes during the month hes expected to be out, but Brewer missed his third straight game Thursday night following the death of his father. Hes expected to rejoin the team at Indiana this weekend. After the Nuggets 10-point loss to Dallas a night earlier, coach George Karl suggested playing in Lithuania during the NBA lockout might have caught up to speedy point guard Ty Lawson. Lawson had his second straight double-double Thursday night but several of his short shots again didnt fall. Overall, Karl said his team hadnt recovered from three games in three nights last week, suggesting there was a residual effect both mentally and physically on his team. Every team will go through funks during this compressed season, and this is just the Nuggets turn to endure the quirks of the busy schedule, Karl said. He gures the Nuggets good start gave them a bit of a buffer for tough times like these. Still, opponents are now coming into the Pepsi Center smelling blood. The last two home losses weve had, teams have just hit incredible shots, Afalo said. Thats a credit to them a little bit, but our defensive intensity, including myself, needs to pick up.

teams 15th All-Star


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) After what many thought was a snub last year, LaMarcus Aldridge is nally an All-Star. The Trail Blazers forward earned his spot on the Western Conference team in voting by the conferences coaches. The All-Star starters were selected by in fans voting. This has been one of my main goals for a while, Aldridge said Thursday night after getting the news. So, to actually achieve this one, it means a lot. Aldridge, who is in his sixth season, is averaging 23.3 points and 8.5 rebounds. Hes one of just three players shooting better than 50 percent from the oor (245 for 481, 50.9 percent). LaMarcus is a premier player in this league and Im very happy to see him be recognized for his efforts as a player and a leader, Blazers coach Nate McMillan said in a statement released by the team. He improves every season and this is validation for all the hard work hes put in to become an All-Star. During a conference call with reporters, Aldridge said he bought a plane ticket home to Texas for All-Star weekend just in case he didnt make the team. Im going to have to see if I can get that money back, he joked. Aldridge has scored in double gures in all 26 games this season for the Blazers (14-12). He has six double-doubles, and had 33 points

and 23 rebounds in a Jan. 20 game against Toronto. In an interview last week with The Associated Press, Aldridge said felt he played well enough last season to be an All-Star, but was disappointed when he did not make the team. In fact, he thought he was playing better than he has this season. I might have better numbers this season, but I feel like last year down the stretch I was playing really well, he said. I want to be dominant. I want to close games. I want to be one of the best power forwards in this league, and I think Im getting there. Aldridge was in New Orleans with the Trail Blazers on Thursday for a game against the Hornets on Friday night. Aldridge, who played at Texas, was the second overall pick in the 2006 draft by the Chicago Bulls and was traded to the Blazers on draft day. He emerged last season, when three-time Blazers All-Star Brandon Roy was hobbled by knee problems, taking over a leadership role both on the court and in the locker room. He nished the season with a career-high 21.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game while shooting exactly 50 percent from the eld. He is the 15th All-Star in franchise history. Roy, who retired before the start of the season because of his knees, was the last Trail Blazer to make the team when he was selected for the third time in 2010. The All-Star game is Feb. 26 in Orlando.
Crabbe went 8 of 12 from the oor and Kamp was 9 of 11. Cal, the Pac-12s topshooting team, shot 55.7 percent from the oor. Justin Cobbs scored 10 points and freshman David Kravish grabbed a season-high 18 rebounds for the Golden Bears (19-6, 9-3), who outscored the Trojans 40-20 over the nal 20 minutes.

No. 16 Saint Marys upset


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPOKANE, Wash. Freshman Kevin Pangos scored 27 points and Gonzaga beat No. 16 Saint Marys 73-59 on Thursday night to avenge an earlier loss to the West Coast Conference leader. The win kept alive the hopes of Gonzaga (19-4, 9-2) to win its 12th consecutive regular season title, the second-longest streak in Division 1 history after UCLAs 13 straight. But the Zags will need somebody to beat Saint Marys (22-3, 11-1), which saw its 12game winning streak snapped. Their last loss was Dec. 22 to No. 6 Baylor. Rob Sacre and Gary Bell Jr. each added 12 points for Gonzaga. Matthew Dellavedova had 20 points for Saint Marys, which shot just 38 percent from the eld (21 of 55), including going 5 of 21 from 3-point range. Gonzaga shot 52 percent (28 of 53) and was 7 of 15 on 3s. The Bulldogs won the rebound battle 40-26. Trailing by three points at halftime, Saint Marys opened the second half with a 9-4 run to take a 40-38 lead. But consecutive 3-pointers by Pangos and Bell put Gonzaga ahead 4440. The teams traded baskets until Pangos hit a 3-pointer with 8 minutes left to extend Gonzagas lead to 56-49. Bell added another 3 a minute later and Gonzaga led 59-49.

After two free throws by Dellavedova, Pangos hit his fth 3-pointer in as many attempts for a 62-51 lead with 6 minutes left. Gonzaga jumped to a 14-8 lead, but Brad Waldows basket put Saint Marys up 17-16 with 10 minutes left. Pangos hit two 3-pointers as Gonzaga built a 26-21 lead. Dellavedova scored six points as Saint Marys got within 30-29, but baskets by Sacre and Pangos staked Gonzaga to a 34-31 halftime lead. The Gaels beat Gonzaga 83-62 on Jan. 12. Gonzaga has won or shared the WCC regular season title every year since 2000-01. Gonzaga is 101-7 in the McCarthey Athletic Center since it opened in 2004

hooked up for the game-winner. Kayla Coleman burned Sequoia three weeks ago in a win and she did it again on Thursday, meeting an Aleja Cretcher cross into the penalty box with a right-footed, ying volley that triumphantly rocked the back of the Sequoia net. It does not get any better than that, Shoman said. That was a beautiful goal. And I felt like we had a lot of good looks and opportunities. I mean, their goalie made a hell of a save on that shot from Erin (Russell). It was pretty equally matched. Sequoia is awesome. Regardless of champion or not, I hope we get a chance to move them up (to the Bay Division) too. We knew it was going to be a battle. The girls have worked for this. So, some times it comes down to who can put the ball in the net. The goal came in a moment when the run of play was begging for a Hillsdale goal. The teams were evenly matched for the rst half, with Sequoia getting the nod because of a couple of great looks on goal by Kate Boudreau and Mariana Frey. Frey had Sequoias best look in the 28th minute, her shot was saved by Nicole Theroux. The rebound had some funny backspin and came within a sliver of crossing the goal line before the Hillsdale keeper was able to slap it away. Minutes later, Boudreaus header towards a wide open goal went a couple of inches over the crossbar. The early Sequoia pressure was to be expected considering their share of the division crown was hanging in the balance. They did a great job, Schmidt said. All credit to Hillsdale on that set play. But that was just one of those stuff happensgoals where they went, we lost that girl and she popped it in. Bummer way to lose the game, on a ball like that. We had some gorgeous crosses, some great balls in (the penalty box) that were really close we just didnt nish. Hillsdale got the look they wanted after several minutes of offensive pressure. While Coleman and Cretcher get the credit for the goal, it was Dyanni Borjas run that earned the Knights a foul to the

right side of the penalty box which set up the world-class set piece. We do practice set plays a lot, Shoman said. Weve never seen that in practice though, Im telling you. But Aleja and Kayla just have a knack for giving you those goals where youre like, Am I watching high school soccer? Honestly, this is probably (our best game) I mean we played well against South City but this was all 11 of us, from keeper to forwards to midelders, everyone contributed an equal amount today and as a coach, whether we lost or won, you want nothing more than to see every player contributing the way they did today. After the goal, Hillsdale still had to put up with 15-plus minutes of Sequoia offense. And they were up to the challenge. (Lily) Discher is amazing, said Shoman of Sequoias do-everything player. shes a great player so we knew we had to bring some pressure, but we did not want that to dictate the game we were going to play. We wanted to play our game, one player on her. I mean, my outside defenders are awesome. The girl covering her, Jenny (Eberle), has been amazing all season. So we felt we did a pretty effective job on her.

WEMBLEY, England Endorsed by a growing number of English players, Harry Redknapp should move closer to becoming the new coach of the national team on Friday when plans to recruit Fabio Capellos replacement are nalized by the Football Association. But with Tottenham hitting unprecedented recent highs under Redknapp, FA executives meeting on Friday will also consider alternative options if the widely respected manager cannot be prized away from White Hart Lane. The groundswell of public support for Redknapp gathered after Capello quit on Wednesday in a dispute over red captain John Terry, with the Italian plunging Englands preparations for this Junes European Championship into turmoil. Now the FA is swinging into line with the national mood by stating a preference for a homegrown coach and recognizing the widespread backing for Redknapp, whose club is third in the Premier League. We of course understand the feeling of the nation and supporters, fans of England are very important when it comes to choosing the right person for the job, FA general secretary Alex Horne said Thursday. But we have to sit down and look long-term and give ourselves as many options as are available. We owe it to ourselves to write up the job brief and make sure we sit down calmly and make sure we have an exhaustive list. Two of Englands most prominent players, Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand, have led the calls on Twitter for the appointment of Redknapp. We need an English manager now, we dont need anything else lost in translation, Ferdinand said. Harry Redknapp would be my choice by a distance.

LOS ANGELES Harper Kamps hot shooting has his team atop the Pac-12 standings. Kamp scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half as California cruised to a 75-49 victory over Southern California on Thursday night. Kamp hit all seven of his shots after halftime and nished 9 of 11 overall. Tonight, it just happened to be my turn, Kamp said. I was just hitting them. The win moved Cal into a rst-place tie in the conference standings with Washington, which lost to Oregon on Thursday. Allen Crabbe led Cal with 19 points on 8of-12 shooting. Cal, the Pac-12s top-shooting team, shot 55.7 percent overall. Justin Cobbs scored 10 points and freshman David Kravish grabbed a season-high 18 rebounds for the Golden Bears (19-6, 9-3), who outscored the Trojans 40-20 over the nal 20 minutes. We came out with a little more sense of urgency that we should have had in the rst half, Kamp said. Maurice Jones led USC (6-19, 1-11) with 17 points. Byron Wesley added 11. We played a good rst half and gave ourselves a chance, but we wore down in the second half, USC coach Kevin ONeill said. Its the result of our makeup. Its a tough situation for the players. The Trojans continue to struggle with a lack of size since big men Aaron Fuller and Dewayne Dedmon were lost for the season with injuries. USC has just one player in the rotation standing over 6-foot-7. Crabbe, a Los Angeles native, played in front of a large contingent of supporters. He opened the game by hitting his rst ve shots to account for 11 of Cals rst 17 points. After Crabbe carried Cal in the rst half, Kamp took over coming out of the break. He

weaved in and out of the USC defense, nailing three jumpers in quick succession. He later had another jumper and a pair of layups for a personal 6-0 run. Kamp didnt take all the credit for his deft shooting. Because Ive got teammates that can shoot the ball so well, I got open looks, he said. Cal controlled the paint and won the rebounding battle 41-28. Kravish was the beneciary of USCs dearth of size, grabbing ve offensive boards and nearly every missed shot within arms length. At the end of the rst half, it felt like if I would have ran away from the ball, it still would have come to me, Kravish said. Cal withstood a late rally by USC to win the seasons rst meeting 53-49 on Dec. 29. The Bears had a much easier time Thursday in sweeping USC for the rst time since the 2002-03 season. USC fell to 1-12 over its past 13 games. Cal coach Mike Montgomery didnt put any stock in his team climbing into rst place in the Pac-12, saying a lot can happen between now and the end of conference play. Its better than being in last, he said. Cal quickly pushed a six-point lead to double digits after the intermission. Crabbe capped a 9-2 run with a layup while being fouled. He made the free throw for a 56-38 lead. The game was decided in the rst ve minutes of the second half, ONeill said. While Crabbe was carrying Cal, Jones was matching him shot for shot in the early going, scoring 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting to start. The offensively challenged Trojans managed to keep pace with Cal for much of the rst half, which saw seven lead changes and four ties. It wasnt until Cobbs hit a turnaround jumper and Crabbe beat the halftime buzzer with a layup following a Jones turnover that Cal got a little separation, taking a 35-29 lead into the break.

Jan Ullrich stripped of podium nish at 2005 Tour
GENEVA Another day, another doping case, another Tour de France result amended. Cycling revisited its scandalscarred recent history again Thursday when the Court of Arbitration for Sport found a Tour winner guilty of doping for the second time this week. Jan Ullrich, the 1997 champion, was stripped of his third-place nish in the 2005 race for intensive involvement in blood doping linked to the Operation Puerto case. The 38-year-old German also was banned from the sport for two years. Jan Ullrich B e c a u s e Ullrich retired in disgrace after the Spanish doping investigation emerged in 2006, his latest shame lacked the impact of Alberto Contadors defeat at sports highest court Monday. Contador was stripped of his third Tour victory after CAS rejected his explanation that eating contaminated meat caused his positive tests for clenbuterol in the nal days of the 2010 race. Both cases represented victories for the International Cycling Union, whose appeals forced the star riders to ght for their reputations in court. Yet the two often-delayed cases, launched years apart, delivered back-to-back decisions that reinforced the perception cycling is riven with cheating.

Armstrong happy investigation over


By Jim Vertuno
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN, Texas As far as Lance Armstrong is concerned, its all over. The stress, the waiting, the whispers about whether he doped during his stellar cycling career, all of it ended when after nearly two years federal prosecutors closed an investigation of him last week without bringing any charges. Im happy. Im glad its behind me, Armstrong told The Associated Press on Thursday in his rst interview since prosecutors announced they were dropping the case. The seven-time Tour de France winner said he remained condent he would not be indicted, but admitted the weight of the long investigation took a toll on him personally. Its not a pleasant experience ... It

was difcult at times, he said. But I was condent that we would always end up in this place. After speaking with the AP, Armstrong parLance ticipated in a Armstrong teleconference with media covering this weekends triathlon in Panama City, Panama, where he is scheduled to compete. For the now 40-year-old Armstrong, the federal governments decision should put a stop to any allegations or rumors about performance-enhancing drug use during his career. Its over, he said. Im moving on. Armstrong maintains he has never

failed a drug test, but he nonetheless became the focus of investigators attention after former teammates Floyd Landis accused him in 2010 of participating in a doping program. Landis was stripped of his 2006 Tour title after failing a drug test. Armstrong won every Tour from 1999-2005. A federal grand jury in Los Angeles 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. U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. announced last Friday his ofce had closed the case but did not give a reason. The World Anti-Doping Agency followed up this week by urging the U.S. government to quickly hand over evidence collected in the investigation.

I dont want to get bogged down with that. Im not concerned with that. Im not going to worry about that, Armstrong said. Armstrong, who has been known to attack his critics in the media and on Twitter, had only issued a muted written statement in response to the end of the investigation when the decision was rst announced. He was reluctant to talk much more about it on Thursday, but said he had a quiet celebration with his family when the investigation was closed. I hugged my kids, hugged my girlfriend and went and opened a cold beer, Armstrong said. Although Armstrong was convinced that he would not be indicted, the cyclist said he was ready to ght a costly legal battle if he was. You had to consider all possibilities, he said.

UFCs Diaz tests positive for pot again


LAS VEGAS The head of the Nevada Athletic Commission says UFC welterweight Nick Diaz tested positive for marijuana after his recent loss to Carlos Condit and faces disciplinary action, including a possible suspension and ne. Executive director Keith Kizer said Thursday that Diazs license has been temporarily suspended and he will Nick Diaz have 20 days to respond to the allegations. Kizer says the allegations have not been proven, and Diaz will be able to defend himself if he chooses to. Diaz lost the co-main event on Saturday night for the interim welterweight title and a shot to ght Georges St-Pierre. He was visibly upset at the loss and hinted at retirement.

pin in the 220-pound match and heavyweight Carlos Ronquillo dispatched his opponent with a pin less than a minute into the rst round. Terra Nova slowed Half Moon Bays roll with Justin Pessino picking up a forfeit win at 106. It was only a bump in the road for the Cougars, however, as Spencer Boling earned a 10-0 majority decision victory at 113 to give Half Moon Bay a 22-9 lead after six matches with eight left. The Tigers, however, did not cave. They came roaring back by winning the next four matches. Manny Borrego took advantage of one Miguel Gutierrez mistake, pinning him with just under a minute to go in the rst period of the 120-pound match. Josh Torres picked up three more points with a 9-3 win at 126, cutting the Tigers decit to 10, 25-15. Alex Phyo dominated in the 132-pound match, earning a 17-2 technical fall and just like that, Terra Nova was down just ve points, 25-20. merits three or four looks in slow motion instant replay to be fully appreciated. Serra was down four come the fourth quarter. And thats when Dunbar took over. Foul trouble in the second half was the culprit for Serra and thus, they had to choose between putting Dunbar on the line (since they couldnt stop his dribble penetration) or letting him score on his lighting-quick drives to the hoop. He did not miss over the nal eight minutes scoring 11 of his teams 13 points in frame. We didnt defend well, Rapp said. We allowed too much dribble penetration. We allowed them to get too easy of a shot. Its disappointing. It was a game that we didnt play very well and I think the thing that was most disappointing was our defensive breakTerra Nova took its rst lead in the match since winning the rst contest of the night when Zack Skiles earned six points for a rstround pin and suddenly, the Tigers led 26-25 with three matches to go. Even then, Armstrong wasnt comfortable. I knew [Half Moon Bay] had a lot of great wrestlers still coming up, Armstrong said. It was still going to be an uphill climb. His feeling turned out to be correct as Half Moon Bay swept the nal three matches. With such a young team, Baker knew the Cougars were going to have their ups and downs. Thats why he stressed effort over results this season. If his wrestlers went out to the mat and gave everything they had, Baker would be satised. Its so funny. In the old days, youd tell kids, Dont get pinned, Baker said. The only thing we stressed this week was effort. Effort has been our whole focus this season. We had 22 kids who busted their asses. Thats why Im proud as hell. downs. We pride ourselves on that. Thats the backbone of the program and thats two straight games where we havent defended very well. We have to remedy that quick or were going to be in some trouble. Despite those breakdowns, Serra made their nal charge with 3:30 left in the game. It was Caruso once again, tying the game at 52 and Stephen Grosey giving the Padres the lead 5452 on a nice pass by Vika Jimenez. But S.I. answered with Dunbar, whose three-point play gave the lead right back to the Wildcats 55-54. After two more S.I. free throws (by Dunbar), Jason Barsocchinis 3point attempt as time expired went long, giving the Wildcats the win. Caruso led all scorers with 26 points. He also pulled down 10 rebounds. Domingo scored 22 points for S.I.

the Cougars: a league title, undefeated and sweetest part of it all was it came against their rival, Terra Nova. Terra Nova coach Bill Armstrong had no expectations going into the match. In fact, he looked at his team as the underdog. We were just hoping to hang in their with them, Armstrong said. I had no expectations. I was taking it one match at a time, one point at a time. It looked like it would be a long night for Terra Nova (7-1). After the Tigers Robert Pyne kicked things off with a 6-1 win at 182 pounds, but the Cougars responded by winning the next three matches: all by pin. David Corona got the Cougars on the scoreboard with a rst-round in the 195-pound match. Mario Sarabia followed with a second-round

San Francisco rolls past Santa Clara for 85-69 win
SAN FRANCISCO Cody Doolin scored a season-high 21 points, 12 of them in the nal 6:03, and San Francisco beat Santa Clara 85-69 on Thursday night. Angelo Caloiaro had 18 points and 13 rebounds to help the Dons (16-10, 6-6 West Coast) erase an 11-point second-half decit. Perris Blackwell added 18 points for San Francisco. The Broncos (8-16, 0-11) tied a 67-year-old school record with their 12th consecutive loss. Despite 21 points from Raymond Cowels III and 20 from Denzel Johnson, Santa Clara scored only nine points over an 11 1/2-minute stretch of the second half. San Francisco scored 34 points during that span to take control of the game. The Broncos shot a season-high 60.9 percent on 3-pointers (14 of 23) but undercut that efciency with 21 turnovers, which led to 28 points for San Francisco.

I thought we were getting good looks there, Rapp said of the second quarter. But they were all from the perimeter. S.I. was packing it in inside and giving us that shot and we werent able to hit it. So, I thought we had good looks in the second quarter, but just got nothing to go. The balls roll funny for everyone sometimes and tonight wasnt out night. Serra went to work on their decit in the third quarter and appeared to be shooting the ball much better, although they ended up with a 6-of-14 mark.

Shamburger leads Spartans to 79-71 victory


SAN JOSE Keith Shamburger scored 13 of his 21 points in the two overtimes to lead San Jose State to its rst conference victory, beating Fresno State 79-71 Thursday night. Wil Carter scored a career-high 23 points to go with 12 rebounds for the Spartans (8-16, 18 in the WAC), who ended a three-game slide. Kevin Olekaibe scored 21 points for the Bulldogs (11-15, 3-7 WAC), who lost their sixth straight on the road and fourth in six games overall. Jonathan Wills added 16 points. Shamburger hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with seven seconds left in the rst overtime for the tie game.

PEBBLE
Continued from page 11
Joining them was former U.S. Amateur Danny Lee, who holed a bunker shot for eagle at No. 2 and holed out from the 11th fairway with a wedge for another eagle to match Johnson at 9-under 63. Johnson is turning into his generations Prince of Pebble. He won the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in consecutive years, and then had a three-shot lead at Pebble in the U.S. Open two years ago until he shot 82 in the nal round. On the third hole of that round, he hit driver left into the bushes for a lost ball and made double bogey. On Thursday, he smashed a driver nearly 340 yards over the trees to just short of the green, setting up eagle. Even now, he still thinks about that tee shot in the U.S. Open. Walking off the tee, he said to caddie Bobby Brown, I could have used that in the U.S. Open. Walking off that hole, I told Bob, This hole owes me a few more than just that one. Johnson overpowered the par 5s at Pebble Beach, the secret to playing that course well. He had a 6-iron for his second shot at the par-5 second for an easy birdie, holed a 65-foot eagle putt on the sixth hole, got up and down from the bunker just short of the 14th for birdie, then cringed when his 40-foot eagle attempt on the 18th just turned away. I thought it was going in, Johnson said. I was laughing. I made plenty of putts today. Woods made his share, too. He opened with consecutive birdies, stufng his approach on No. 10 and two-putting for birdie on the par-5 11th. He also holed a downhill, 8-foot birdie putt on the 17th that was good enough to elicit a small st pump, and from behind the par-5 opening hole, hit a op shot to 7 feet and made that. One of his two bogeys was sloppy. It came on the short par-4 fourth, with a shallow green set among sand dunes and ice plant at a diagonal angle. Instead of going toward the middle of the green and letting the slope take the ball to the hole, Woods went at the ag. The ball bounced hard over the green and into a sandy patch of dunes, in a foot print. He did well to blast a wedge some 30 feet past the hole and had a good two-putt from there for bogey. Woods picked up another birdie on the par-5 seventh for his 68. He played the par 5s in a 3 under. I dont know if its a good sign or a bad sign, Woods said about his 68. With the scores the way they are, I thought I could have it lower than I did. The guys are just tearing this place apart with no wind. Im not too far away from posting a good number out here. His partner, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, contributed pars on the holes where Woods made bogey, and Romo had a birdie on the par-5 14th when Woods missed the fairway and had to settle for par. As a team, they were tied for 25th. Romo gets to play a forward tee, but he doesnt get any shots with a scratch handicap.

Hyundais newest doesnt look like miser


By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

With sporty styling and standard high-tech features, the Hyundai Veloster the automakers fourth new car that earns a fuel mileage rating of 40 miles per gallon on the highway sure doesnt look like a fuel miser. No wonder. Hyundai ofcials want the compact car to attract young drivers. But the Velosters eye-catching looks, innovative third side door, generous cargo space, 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, ve years of complimentary roadside assistance and a ve-year/60,000-mile vehicle warranty can appeal to valueconscious buyers of many ages. So can the starting retail price of $18,060. This is for a model with six-speed manual transmission. A Veloster with automatic transmission has a starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including destination charge, of $19,310. In comparison, the competing 2012 Scion tC coupe, which is rated at 31 mpg on the highway, has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $19,305 with manual transmission and $20,305 with automatic transmission. Another competitor in the sporty, affordable compact segment is the 2012 Honda CR-Z hatchback, which is rated at 39 mpg on the highway when tted with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). But the CVT pushes the CR-Z starting retail price to $20,195; its $19,545 with a manual transmission. Both the tC and CR-Z come with vehicle warranties lasting three years/36,000 miles and powertrain warranties good for ve years/60,000 miles. As is typical with Hyundai vehicles, every Veloster has a good number of amenities. Air conditioning, power windows and door locks, remote entry, iPod and USB auxiliary jacks, a 7-inch light-emitting diode display screen, steering wheel-mounted radio controls, cruise control and AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 audio system are standard on every model. Buyers get a complimentary period to use the XM satellite radio as well as Hyundais new BlueLink telematics system which is being introduced in the Veloster rst before other Hyundais. BlueLink is similar to OnStar in General Motors vehicles with emergency crash notication, turn-by-turn directions to destinations and electronic notication to friends or family about your location.

2012 Hyundai Veloster M/T BASE PRICE:$17,300. PRICE AS TESTED: $22,060. TYPE: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive, fourpassenger,compact hatchback. ENGINE:1.6-liter,double overhead cam,gasoline direct injection, Gamma four cylinder with DCVVT.

Still, the test car exhibited a nice balance of fuel frugality and happy performance in real road situations. With manual gear selection, the car had decent zip to merge into city trafc, and highway travel was satisfactory. Sport enthusiasts should wait until summer, when a 201-horsepower, turbocharged Veloster is due to arrive. Less than 14 feet long, from bumper to bumper, the test Veloster maneuvered nimbly in trafc and in constrained parking lots. The turning circle is a tidy 34.2 feet, so U-turns are no fuss. There is a rmness, almost a stiffness, in the ride, and passengers felt road bumps, big and minor. For example, the test car, with upgraded 18-inch tires, sent through to the passenger compartment vibrations and sounds of manhole covers in the roads. The front-wheel drive car rode solidly, however. The body didnt ex or shudder over bumps as Hyundai made good use of high-tensile steel in the car body. Note the back seat has two sculpted seats with a small shelf and cupholders between them. There are only two seat belts back there, so the Veloster cannot seat ve. Unfortunately, back-seat riders sit with their heads under the large glass hatchback window, so heads can get hot in warm weather. At 5 feet 4, I sat snugly in back, with 31.7 inches of rear-seat legroom and 35.3 inches of headroom. Tall rear-seat passengers might need to duck their heads when the hatchback liftgate is being closed, because, depending on how theyre seated, they may get hit on the head by the descending glass. The test car had optional panorama roof, which gave an airy feel inside but it reduced front-seat headroom by 1.8 inches. Back-seat headroom is unaffected. The hard cover over the 15.5-cubic-foot cargo area banged down noisily when the liftgate came down. Cargo space expands to a commendable 34.7 cubic feet when rear seatbacks are folded down.

Also not to be missed: Every Veloster is ready for use of Pandora Internet radio through a passengers iPhone. Gracenote voice recognition and music cover art also are ready to work with an iPod. The Veloster, which replaces the long-gone Hyundai Tiburon coupe, turned heads during the test drive. But no one had a clue that the Veloster has an innovative third, front-hinged door on the passenger side that eased entry into the back seat. The door handle is hidden in the black back edge of the window. The only giveaway is the gap between pieces of sheet metal. Without this door, anyone wanting to get into the back seat would have to do what they do in other two-door compacts: Push/fold front seats forward and contort around the front bucket seats. The Velosters fuel mileage is an obvious selling point. The 1.6-liter, double overhead cam, gasoline direct injection four cylinder meters the fuel to get that federal government fuel efciency rating of 28/40 mpg with manual transmission. The test car, which had a six-speed manual that shifted well, averaged a commendable 35 mpg in travel that was 65 percent in city trafc and 35 percent on the highway. Velosters with the six-speed automatic transmission have a 29/38-mpg rating from the federal government. The Velosters 2,600-pound-plus weight, which is 400 pounds lighter than the Scion tC, helps make the car peppy. After all, the Velosters output of 138 horsepower and 123 foot-pounds of torque at a high 4,850 rpm is mild compared with the tCs 180 horses and 173 foot-pounds of torque at 4,100 rpm.

DEAL
Continued from page 1
Lusk Center for Real Estate. Federal and state officials announced that 49 states joined the settlement with five of the nations biggest lenders. Oklahoma struck a separate deal with the five banks. Government officials are still negotiating with 14 other lenders to join. The bulk of the money will go to California and Florida, two of the states hardest hit by the housing crisis and the ones with the most underwater homeowners. The two states stand to receive roughly 75 percent of the settlement funds. Of the five major lenders, Bank of America will pay the most to borrowers: nearly $8.6 billion. Wells Fargo will pay about $4.3 billion, JPMorgan Chase roughly $4.2 billion, Citigroup about $1.8 billion and Ally Financial $200 million. The banks will also pay state and federal governments about $5.5 billion. The settlement ends a painful chapter of the financial crisis, when home values sank and millions edged toward foreclosure. Many companies processed foreclosures without verifying documents. Some employees signed papers they hadnt read or used fake signatures to speed foreclosures an action known as robo-signing. President Barack Obama praised the settlement, saying it will speed relief to the hardest-hit homeowners, end some of the most abusive practices of the mortgage industry and begin to turn the page on an era of recklessness that has left so much damage in its wake. The deal requires the banks to reduce loans for about 1 million households that are at risk of foreclosure. The lenders will also send $2,000 each to about 750,000 Americans who were improperly foreclosed upon from 2008 through 2011. The banks will have three years to fulfill terms of the deal. The states have agreed not to pursue civil charges over the abuses covered by the settlement. Homeowners can still sue lenders on their own, and federal and state authorities can still pursue criminal charges. The deal, reached after 16 months of contentious negotiations, is subject to approval by a federal judge. Its the biggest settlement involving a single industry since the $206 billion multistate tobacco deal in 1998. But for the many people who lost their homes to foreclosure in the past two years, some of them improperly, a check for $2,000 is small consolation. Two thousand dollars wont cover my moving costs, said Brian Duncan, who was evicted from his Tempe, Ariz., home last April. Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, who led the 50-state talks, said the $2,000 checks represent the homeowners best hope of being reimbursed for any amount. They would have had trouble winning settlements in court because of the time-consuming complexity of litigation, Miller said. Mike Heid, president of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, said the agreement rep-

Weve got a lot of issues to work our way through in the housing market....What this settlement does is allow that process to get started.
Mark Vitner,a senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities

resents a very important step toward restoring confidence in mortgage servicing and stability in the housing market. Mark Vitner, a senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities, said the settlement may help the housing market in the long run. Thats because it lets banks proceed with millions of foreclosures that have been stalled. Many lenders had refrained from foreclosing on homes as they awaited the settlement. Weve got a lot of issues to work our way through in the housing market, Vitner said. What this settlement does is allow that process to get started. For the banks, the settlement comes mainly as a relief. If each state had sued the lenders and won, the total settlements could have run into the hundreds of billions. And all the lenders have set aside adequate reserves. Its really a wash, said Paul Miller, bank analyst at FBR Capital Markets. A billion dollars is nothing for these large trillion-dollar banks. The bulk of the settlement will go toward reducing underwater mortgages and refinancing some of them. But the banks had realized they werent going to collect the loans and had already written down their value, Miller noted. The deal requires banks to make foreclosure their last resort. And they cant foreclose on a homeowner who is being considered for a loan modification. Still, the federal government has a dubious track record of enforcing such rules. The Obama administrations signature foreclosure-prevention program has failed to help more than half of those who have applied to have their mortgage payments lowered permanently. Many have complained that the program is a bureaucratic nightmare. Critics also note that the settlement will apply only to privately held mortgages and not to those owned by mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Banks own about half of all U.S. mortgages, or roughly 30 million loans. Fannie and Freddie own the other half. The deal is another sad example of Wall Street not being held accountable for fraud, perjury and crimes that created the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, said Dennis Kelleher, CEO of Better Markets, a group that advocates stricter financial regulation. The math does not add up in a massive robo-signing scandal that is nothing more than systemic criminal conduct. The settlement also ends a separate investigation into Bank of America and Countrywide for inflating appraisals of loans from 2003 through most of 2009. Bank of America acquired Countrywide in 2008.

Harrelson a dirty cop Henry back in Shortcut


By Jake Coyle THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The crazy eyes and idiosyncratic drawl of Woody Harrelson are enough to carry the dirty cop study Rampart, but even such powers as those cant make engaging this weary L.A. noir. Without Harrelsons inherent intrigue, the heavy-handed provocations of Rampart would be difcult to suffer. But Harrelsons intense and committed performance keeps Oren Movermans lm moving, even while the grim and overdone story wallows affectedly. Among the dirty cops of movies Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant, Denzel Washington in Training Day Harrelsons LAPD ofcer Dave Brown is particularly ugly. Hes nicknamed Date Rape Dave, a moniker he came by from killing a serial date rapist years ago. The name may hint of Browns most decent side (a protector of women) but it also serves as a frightening warning. Rampart is set in 1999 Los Angeles and its title refers to a notoriously scandal-plagued police division. The lm, which Moverman wrote with crime novel writer James Ellroy (L.A. Condential), doesnt try to analyze what led to a corrupt division, but rather the specic formation of a badge-wearing monster. How do we solve a problem like Dave Brown? asks police attorney Joan Confrey (Sigourney Weaver). By then, weve already seen Brown lament Rodney King wannabes, abuse a handcuffed suspect and beat to a pulp a man who had the misfortune of colliding with Browns cruiser. That incident is caught on camera and replayed on the evening news, sparking protests and an investigation. This used to be a glorious soldiers department, sneers Brown to a mixed-race female ofcer. And now its ... you. Nice guy, right? At home, we see a softer, complicated side. Brown has two ex-wives (Cynthia Nixon and Anne Heche, both looking lost) who are sisters and neighbors, with whom he has a teenage daughter (Brie Larson) and a younger daughter (Sammy Boyarsky). Its an incredulous arrangement and we can only be glad, for basic clarity, when the younger girl sweetly asks her father if shes inbred. (He laughs and tells her she isnt and that shes native.) The bizarre domestic situation aside, Browns face genuinely glows around his daughters, surely his only possible pathway to salvation. But Brown is in a self-destructive tailspin: acting out violently, desperate

Mansequel
By Michelle Wiener
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

At the start of p.g. sturges followup to last years Shortcut Man, Dick Henry the guy people call to x things when legal recourse is either exhausted or out of the question is putting the screws to a scam artist. Its merely an opening scene with little bearing on the primary story, but the extortionist periodically reappears as a running joke in this highly entertaining, if gruesome, sequel, Tribulations of the Shortcut Man. The plot this time around is more intricate, with dozens of players, including a coke-addled, washed-up former TV star, a celebrity judge, a couple of pole dancers and a man born without the ability to smell. The basic story is this: Henrys exgirlfriend is dating a wealthy septuagenarian, but she suspects something is wrong when her elderly paramour fails to return her calls. As a favor, Henry sneaks into the mans home to discover that he is, of course, dead, and under suspicious circumstances. Henrys investigations bring him in contact with several despicable characters whose cold brutality would make this a difcult book to get through if not for Henrys own sentimentality as he remembers falling in love with a former ame, and his interactions with his young daughter. Fear not: These tender insights into our morally ambiguous protagonist do not signify a change of outlook, as Henry remains dedicated to his own personal brand of justice.

SANDRA POINTET

Swiss pianist Olivier Cav makes his debut with the San Francisco Symphony Feb.23 to 25 at Davies Symphony Hall.

HAYDN AND MOZART IN SAN FRANCISCO. Composers often write some of their nest works toward the end of their careers and the Feb. 23 to 25 program of the San Francisco Symphony highlights two such examples. Italian Conductor Rinaldo Alessandrini, conducting the Symphony for the rst time, leads Haydns Symphony No. 104, the last of the London symphonies, along with Mozarts Symphony No. 39, which marked the pinnacle of his illustrious compositional output. Rounding out the program is Mozarts Piano Concerto No. 25 with soloist Olivier Cav in his San Francisco Symphony debut. Alessandrini is known for his interpretations of period works, especially those of the Italian Baroque period, and is the founder of the historically informed performance ensemble Concerto Italiano. He led San Franciscos Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra in 2008 and is the editor of Brenreiters critical edition of several early Italian works, including Monteverdis Il ritorno dUlisse in patria. Swiss pianist Cav was a nalist in the Clara Schumann competition in 2000, and was invited by La Scala to reopen the theaters museum and library in 2003, where he performed Liszt opera transcriptions on the composers piano. In fall 2010, Cav released a critically acclaimed album of the works of Muzio Clementi, and has performed frequently on tour with Alessandrini. Cav has two albums: one of Scarlatti and one of Clementis Didone Abbandonata and will be releasing a new Bach recording in the spring of 2012. The concerts are on Thursday, Feb. 23 at 2 p.m.; Friday, Feb. 24 at 8 p.m.; and Saturday, Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. They will be broadcast on Classical 89.9/90.3 KDFC and kdfc.com on Tuesday, March 6.

A rich Valentines Day thanks to seafood and cream


By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Warm and creamy, au gratin are perfect for a cold winter night. And what better way to say I love you than with a little indulgence of seafood and cream. This dish goes together with just a little effort and you end up with an impressive and delicious dinner for two. Serve with crusty bread and a green salad dressed with a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, sea salt and ground black pepper.

SEAFOOD AU GRATIN
Some grocers and seafood markets sell frozen lobster meat. Thats the easiest way to get it for this dish. Alternatively, ask for a 1 1/4-pound lobster at the grocer and have them steam it for you while you shop. That size lobster should produce about 4 ounces of cooked meat. Start to nish: 45 minutes

for departmental cover (Ned Beatty plays a sinister LAPD retiree) and picking up women easily. He approaches one (Robin Wright) at a bar by commenting on her litigator eyes. Their relationship forms as one based on mutual self-loathing, and Wright is captivating in every moment. How does he live with himself? Quite self-assuredly, actually. The most interesting quality of Brown is how hyper-literate he is. He might curse all manner of citizens as scum, but, when confronted by superiors or lawyers (Steve Buscemi makes a cameo as one), he responds with a torrent of dubious legalese and moral equivocation. He shrouds his behavior in a labyrinth of caginess, defending himself as a Vietnam vet and a true-blue of the old guard. This is Movermans second stab at direction following 2009s The Messenger, which also tted the famously liberal Harrelson in a uniform (as a soldier whose duty is to inform the families of the fallen). With cinematographer Bobby Bukowski, Movermans jerky, handheld camera keeps LA always in the background. The rst shot is a prole of Brown driving, smoking and stoic behind sunglasses, while Los Angeles passes behind as mere backdrop. The protests over his beating, we never see, just hear. Harrelson dominates the picture, but the story of Browns unraveling feels increasingly unrealistic and uninteresting while it circles around ideas established in the rst half hour. Instead of leading toward understanding, Rampart remains a dirty cop caricature, more a complaint than a story. Rampart, a Millennium Entertainment release, is rated R for pervasive language, sexual content and some violence. Running time: 108 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

A hot pink drink


By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This Valentines Day cocktail sports a risque name, is easy on the eyes and drinks like candy. Even guys will be reaching for this admittedly feminine cocktail. Its flavors are slightly sweet and tangy, much like a glass of pink lemonade. Except that this pink lemonade happens to be powered by vodka, gin and raspberry liqueur. X-Rated, for those unfamiliar with it, isnt just a movie classification. It also is the name of a hot pink liqueur made from vodka infused with passion fruit, blood orange and mango. Another easy use for this alcohol is to simply mix it with seltzer water or ginger beer for a refreshing and bubbly spritzer. And dont be ashamed to add a couple of maraschino cherries to this drink to up the pink factor for Valentines Day.

Start to finish: 10 minutes Servings: 2 2 ounces raspberry liqueur Ice 1 ounce lime juice 3 ounces X-Rated Fusion Liqueur 1 ounce gin Pinch of crushed pink peppercorns Edible flower petals, to garnish Divide the raspberry liqueur between 2 martini glasses. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the lime juice, X-Rated, gin and pink peppercorns. Shake vigorously, then strain and divide between the glasses, pouring it carefully down the sides of the glasses. Garnish with edible flower petals.

Divino Downtown Italy in Belmont, CA


Many great things have been said about the food, service, and atmosphere at Ristorante Divino that I would just like to add my applause to the menu. By combining current Italian fare with California styles, Chef Vincenzo Cucco creates tasty and satisfying dishes for all palates. A beautifully presented Corvina Sea Bass is sauted with potato velute underneath and then topped with a tomato, avocado and onion relish. The poultry is often prepared in traditional styles as well as some interesting creations such as Pollo in Porchetta which is a roasted breast of chicken stuffed

with prosciutto, fennel seeds and arugola in a white wine sauce. Tasty pasta dishes such as Ravioli di Magro (homemade ravioli stuffed with Swiss chard and ricotta covered in a creamy white walnut sauce) meet the short list along with spaghetti putanesca con pescespada: thin spaghetti with Sicilian olives, capers, fresh sauted swordsh and spicy tomato sauce. Not to be neglected on the menu, Cucco prepares his signature pasta dish for lunch and dinner, an artisan tube pasta with Italian sausage meat, green peas, roasted red bell peppers and a creamy tomato sauce perfectly seasoned. Gluten free pasta is always on hand. There are salads and panini for the vegetarians and of course ordering off the menu is not discouraged. Divino was established in 2006 by Chef Owner Vincenzo Cucco and Paolo Dominici, founders of popular BACCO in San Franciscos Noe Valley. Cucco hails from Sicily where he completed his training and

went on to work at the Prestigious Do Forni in Venice, Italy. Cucco, who has been lauded by Michael Bauer of The San Francisco Chronicle several times, has , created a destination restaurant out of Divino. His ut of Divino.

08 to 23,536 2010-11, according to HSA prole data. That would be a 237 percent increase but Kim said the difference in part is because CFPAs numbers fall short of the calendar year used by HSA. Either way, the countys increase is more than the state average. The greater gains were in cities with middle income ranges. For instance, San Carlos saw its use triple and Belmont increased from 99 members to 400 or 304 percent between June 2008 and now. The largest jump, according to HSA, was Montara with a 1,400 percent change and the least was San Gregorio which dropped 75 percent. The countys increases show that outreach is working but also highlight the continuing, and growing, need for food aid, said HSA Director Beverly Beasley Johnson. We know that food is one of those critical social determinants for health in the community and we see our ability to help families access food benets as a way to help our community, Johnson said. The state has record enrollment but Department of Agriculture numbers show that just more than half of eligible of Californians participate in CalFresh giving the state the nations lowest participation rate and losing out on an estimated $4.9 billion in federal benets yearly, according to Tia Shimada of CFPA. CFPAs list of reasons for lack of Kohl for Kids has entertained and engaged more than 4,500 students annually through in-school performances and master classes by professional musicians for middle and high school students. Free concerts are also offered for schools as eld trips. The reach of students attending the concert, which will be held later this month, has grown to include a variety of districts thanks to word of mouth through the education community, said Program Administrator Yvonne Wun. Gaenslen added the program isnt just about exposing children to Mozart. They bring in a variety of music styles from different cultures. Music isnt just offered for little ones; the organization offers a number of programs, said Wun. For example, a partnership with the San Mateo Library brings one-hour free concerts exposing all who attend to music, poetry, language, history and other cultures. Normally held in the Oak Room at the library, 55 W. Third Ave., the next performance featuring The Rhythm Sister will be held 3 p.m. Saturday, April 9. No need to grab a ticket or even reserve a seat. Just head over. to place these employees on administrative leave and commence an independent investigation into the allegations, Christensen said. Bogdis was put on administrative leave from the district Wednesday, Feb. 1 after allegations were made about her conduct in the classroom. Investigators believe Bogdis slapped a student, twisted a students wrist and kicked the back of a chair, causing a desk to move forward and strike a student, Guidotti said. She is also accused of depriving a child of food and kicking a child in the stomach. No children were seriously injured, Guidotti said. Bogdis has worked in the district for ve years, district spokeswoman Naomi Hunter said previously. She has never served in any other positions and her most recent class had seven students, Hunter said. While the employees are on adminisenrollment mimic many that Johnson and Kim see, namely the application process, misinformation about eligibility and stigma. CalFresh is really a nutrition program, said Johnson who added the stigma exists in negative ads and stereotypes about use. In San Mateo County, Johnson said her department has tried easing the hurdles to access by moving applications online. Doing so lets people check their eligibility without fear of rejection or the need to travel to a physical location, Johnson said. The countys 211 information hotline staff can also help those seeking assistance, she said. One large challenge statewide, the ngerprinting requirement, is now gone. Fingerprints not only put off those who might worry about things like warrants being turned up but also seniors with no connection to law enforcement who believe the check is only linked to crime, Johnson said. Johnson said her main message to those who are hesitant to apply is to go for it. To families who are having nancial issues or who are in the process of recovering from the recession should just apply and let us determine if theyre eligible, Johnson said.

lates food stamp use with data on individuals with an income below 125 percent of the federal poverty level and no receipt of other Social Security benets. The gure doesnt include factors like citizen/immigration status which is included in the federal assessment of use. For instance, the undocumented population is included in census numbers for those in need of food but cant qualify for programs. CFPA estimated the county would receive $84.8 million in federal nutrition benets if San Mateo County residents who meet the income requirements participated. Last year, San Mateo County also came in 57th place, just ahead of Mono County. The data used is from 2010 so the gures are a little out of sync with what is happening currently, said HSA spokeswoman Amanda Kim. Over the last year, the numbers have actually increased another 35 percent. On the other hand, the increase uses 2011 data and shows San Mateo County had a 179 percent hike. However, the countys gures which it submits to the state and is then pulled by CFPA show different increases. Countywide, CalFresh individual enrollment moved from 9,916 in 2007-

other organizations have grown over the years. Today, the program offers music to both adults and local youngsters. Anneke Gaenslen, who serves on the board and as education chair, has been involved nearly the whole time. After the rst year, her son Eric Gaenslen, a cellist who began playing while at Lincoln Elementary School, won a competition. It was an introduction to the organization for Anneke Gaenslen who was interested in keeping music offerings for students alive. She noticed the school funding decline at the time which has only continued over time. In 1992, while at a conference, Gaenslen was exposed to a small nonprot that was a resource for its community. She wanted Music at Kohl Mansion to be the same. The group began seeking to have resident music ensembles to supplement what was available in the area. Today, they have three. Part of reaching out to the community has taken shape in the Kohl for Kids program. For 19 years,

Chamber concerts are available throughout the season at the mansion, acting as a fundraiser for the program. Tickets range from $15 to $60 for individual performances depending on the type of concert. Alternatively, tickets are discounted if a subscription to the season featuring eight shows this season is purchased. The next show featuring the Cypress String Quartet will be held 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 26. Music at Kohl Mansion also partners with MUST, Music in Schools Today, as an instrument donation center for local youth music programs. With limited school funding continuing to be stretched, both Wun and Gaenslen noted an increased interest for the types of programs offered by Music at Kohl Mansion. Like most organizations helping the community, leaders at Music at Kohl Mansion are good at stretching a buck. Meeting needs that continue to grow would take additional manpower and donations.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2012 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- When there is justifi-

cation, its commendable to praise another. However, if youre doing so for less noble reasons, such as getting a favor out of someone, its likely to backfire on you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Dont let someone who has trouble managing his or her own financial affairs take care of a money issue for you. If you acquiesce and let this person do it anyway, youll be sorry. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If youre having a difficult time making a decision, forgo taking a leadership role. Let someone else who seems to have his

or her head on straight call the shots. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Its one thing to help out a pal who is overwhelmed with work, but dont saddle yourself with a friends burdens merely because he or she cant be bothered to handle them on their own. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- When becoming friendly with a new group, watch out for one member who is somewhat unpopular, and for good reason. She or he might try to glom on to you and drag you down as well. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone with whom youre closely affiliated might be able to put on pretenses and get away with it, but that doesnt mean you

can. The best rule to follow is to simply be yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Just because you havent heard from a pal who is close to your heart for some time, it doesnt necessarily mean that he or she isnt interested in keeping in touch. Circumstances could have this person tied up. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Money in itself is not evil, but the love of it can sometimes cause people to lower their standards and do things that they shouldnt. Dont you be one of them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont single out one person in particular to be nice to just because you want a favor that, chances are, you wont get anyway. Youll go further being amiable to everyone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Beware of any involvement that is off limits, such as an illicit romantic encounter. It might be flattering to be wooed, but itll create complications you dont need. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- An insincere person might try to manipulate you by attempting to make you believe that what he or she is asking of you is for your best interest. If youre smart, you wont take the bait. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If by chance you are feeling a powerful inclination to be the center of attention, dont do anything silly. All eyes will be focused on you all right, but not for the reasons you think. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Fifteen tons of meth found in Mexico Greek deal to cut


By Mark Stevenson and Arturo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GUADALAJARA, Mexico Mexican troops have made a historic seizure of 15 tons of pure methamphetamine in the western state of Jalisco, an amount equivalent to half of all meth seizures worldwide in 2009. The sheer scale of the bust announced late Wednesday in the western state of Jalisco drew expressions of amazement from meth experts. The haul could have supplied 13 million doses worth over $4 billion on U.S. streets. This could potentially put a huge dent in the supply chain in the U.S, said U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman Rusty Payne. When were taking this much out of the supply chain, its a huge deal. Reporters were shown barrels of white and yellow powder that were found in a laboratory on a small ranch outside of Guadalajara, Mexicos second-largest city. The Mexican army said troops received several anonymous tips and found the massive drug stash in the township of Tlajomulco de Zuniga, near the Jalisco state capital of Guadalajara. The army statement called the seizure historic, implying it was the largest on

record for the armed forces. There were no people found on the ranch or arrests made, although it appeared 12 to 15 people worked there. Seizures of this size ... could mean one of two things, said Antonio Mazzitelli, the regional representative of the U.N. Ofce of Drugs and Crime. On one hand, it may be a product that hasnt been able to be sold, and like any business, when the market is depressed, stockpiles build up.

Dwindling time,rising tension make Iran top fear


By Anne Gearan and Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The United States and its allies believe the window to stop Iran from building a bomb is quickly closing, pushing conflict with the Islamic republic to the top of the Obama administrations national security worries in the midst of an election year. After years of diplomatic deadlock, Irans nuclear program has advanced to the point where experts say work on a bomb could begin within a year. That progress has moved the once far-fetched possibility of a pre-emptive U.S. or Israeli strike on Irans nuclear sites to the forefront of the urgent debate over how to prevent Tehran from joining the

nuclear club. The prospect of a military strike on Iran is still unlikely. The U.S. insists diplomacy and economic coercion are its main focus, and a military strike would be its last option to stop an Iranian bomb. The United States has a very good estimate of when Iran could produce a weapon, President Barack Obama said this week. He said that while he believes the standoff with Iran over its nuclear program can still be resolved through diplomacy, the U.S. has done extensive planning on a range of options. We are prepared to exercise these options should they arise, Obama said during an interview with NBC. He said Israel has not made a decision about

whether to launch its own strike. Iran claims its nuclear program is not aimed at building a bomb, but it has refused to drop suspect elements of the program. In November, the International Atomic Energy Agency issued a scathing assessment of the Iranian nuclear program, calling it disturbing and possibly dangerous. The IAEA, a United Nations body, said it had serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions of a program Iran claims is not intended to build a weapon. Close U.S. ally Israel is driving much of the burst of international attention now focused on the likelihood of an Iranian bomb and what to do about it.

FRANKFURT, Germany More than two years after it came clean about its addiction to debt, Greece may nally have begun its long and painful road to recovery. Greeces fractious political leaders struck a deal Thursday to make deep cuts in government jobs and spending to help save the country from a default that could shock the world nancial system. The deal, under negotiation since July, is one of two critical steps Greece must take to receive a (euro) 130 billion ($170 billion) bailout from other countries in Europe and around the globe. It was announced by Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos ofce and will be scrutinized during talks in Brussels between nance ministers from the 17 countries that use the euro. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said no nal agreement unleashing the bailout money would be reached Thursday. He said more work had to be done to fulll the conditions for a bailout. In addition to the scal austerity mandated by the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund, Greece is close to an agreement with private investors who hold nearly two-thirds of its debt to sharply reduce the countrys borrowing costs. Greece needs the bailout by March 20 so it will have enough money to redeem (euro) 14.5 billion worth of bonds coming due. If it doesnt make that payment, it will be in default. Financial analysts fear that could set off a chain reaction similar to the nancial meltdown triggered by the collapse of investment bank Lehman Brothers in the fall of 2008. The bailout will ease some of the uncertainty that has unsettled Europe and the world nancial system for more than two years, but it will not bring down the curtain on Greeces debt drama.
