Caltrain is no longer willing to pursue a four-track full buildout project on the Peninsula for the states high-speed rail system, choosing instead to support a blended system that will minimize property takings and be less
costly to build. The blended system is the only approach we are willing to embrace, according to a letter from Caltrain sent to the California High-Speed Rail Authority yesterday. The letter was in response to the Bay Area to Central Valley
draft program environmental impact report. In January, Caltrain sent a similar letter in response to the rail authoritys updated draft business plan that stated the project level environmental review for the San Jose to San Francisco segment of the line
should only evaluate the blended system, as rst proposed by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, Assemblyman Rich Gordon, DMenlo Park, and U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, nearly a year ago. Our capacity analysis of the blended system shows that it is operationally feasible, said Seamus
Murphy, Caltrains government affairs manager. The blended system has been embraced and we are working on appropriate design options with the community. The blended system proposal will have high-speed trains share Caltrains current two-track system with the addition of some passing

Burlingames downtown will soon have a key piece of property on the market, the main post ofce. Earlier this month, the sale of the Burlingame Main Post Ofce, 341 Lorton Ave., was approved by postal ofcials, said U.S. Postal Service spokesman James Wigdel. A timeline for selling the property as well as the relocation process, which requires a public meeting, has yet to be set. But the announcement could be good news for Burlingame ofcials who have long eyed the central downtown property. The Burlingame Post Office is about 13,400 square feet but only 4,100 square feet is needed,
The Burlingame Main Post Ofce was approved for sale earlier this month.

Now both in their 40s, the brothers were once considered one of Turkeys most promising alternative bands dating back to the mid-1990s, even having one of their songs banned from radio there for lyrics critical of the Turkish government. Their band, Cemali (with the C pronounced as a J), is now in the middle of producing an album they hope will be both a hit in Turkey and here in the United States.

We didnt do anything wrong ...We were following direction from a subpoena and the family attorney who knew what was going on did not inform them.

Police reports
Cheating death
A pack of cigarettes were taken from a commercial building on the 900 block of Ralston Avenue in Belmont before 4:19 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 16.
The parents of a 30-year-old man killed in a car crash nearly four years ago claim the San Mateo County Coroners Office was neglectful in sharing his brain with a private pathologist in a wrongful death suit, causing severe distress to the devoutly Jewish couple and flying in the face of the offices established procedures. But Coroner Robert Foucrault said his office followed established protocol and state law when responding to a wrongful death lawsuit subpoena for Steven Wolkoffs brain and that the real fault lies with the family attorney who did not communicate the legal demand to his parents. We didnt do anything wrong ... We were following direction from a subpoena and the family attorney who knew what was going on did not inform them, Foucrault said. Jayme Burns, an attorney for Jerald and Sandra Wolkoff, said the subpoena called for examination of the coroners information and did not direct the office to create or hand over tissue slides of his brain. The coroner should have given them a copy of his report. Instead, the coroner handed over custody of my clients remains and allowed them to be turned into 20 slides, Burns said. The Wolkoffs sued Foucrault in 2010 for violation of California statutes governing remains and neglect. A judge tossed the first part but the second, neglect, will come under scrutiny this morning when the county asks that it also be dismissed. In particular, the Wolkoffs argue Foucrault and his office failed a duty of care and were neglectful by being indifferent to their devout faith which considers dissection for reason not urgent or medical a matter of shame and gross dishonor, the suit states. The suit also argues state law allows fam-

ilies to object for cultural or religious reasons to the release of a body for an autopsy by defendants in a wrongful death action. This is a very big issue for me, maybe because there are so few chances left for me to fight for my son. I cant have him back but I want all of him, said mother Sandra Wolkoff in statement released through her attorneys. Wolkoff said she feels dismissed by those involved. The Wolkoffs did not learn that their sons brain had been kept and sliced into 20 pieces until reviewing evidence for a civil trial. Adding insult to injury, their lawyers say, the Coroners Office has a next-of-kin notification policy enacted after another mother sued over the retention of her deceased sons heart. That policy was carelessly disregarded in the Wolkoffs case, according to their lawyers. Foucrault disagrees, saying the two cases are completely different. Selina Picons lawsuit against Foucrault and the county was ultimately dismissed and Foucrault said his office was following the law in the Wolkoff case by abiding by a subpoena. Steven Wolkoff died June 21, 2008 in a vehicle crash on Highway 1 that also killed another 21-year-old man. During his autopsy, pieces of his neck and brain stem were retained as part of standard procedure. The following June, the Wolkoffs sued several parties in their sons death including American Medical Response and San Mateo County. As part of the defendants preparing to pinpoint when Wolkoff died against the
suit claiming medics failed to revive him, AMR subpoenaed records and pathology slides/tissue blocks. Burns said none existed at the time and that Foucraults office without permission or consent gave the privately retained pathologist access to the brain which was then portioned out. During a May 2010 deposition of county autopsy surgeon Dr. Peter Benson, the Wolkoffs learned that their sons brain was not buried with his body. The Wolkoffs would not have given Foucrault permission to keep or share the brain if asked, Burns said. This is not a matter of no harm, no foul, Burns said. The county hired an outside attorney for the case but Deputy County Counsel David Levy, who is familiar with the details, echoed Foucraults claims that the family attorney was the breakdown in communication, not the Coroners Office. Levy also said the suit comes after the Wolkoffs have sued other entities, like AMR and the county, who have deeper pockets. The suit with AMR settled and another against the county claiming the road was dangerous is on appeal. The Wolkoffs also still hope to have their sons brain returned to them once the suits are settled. Eventually, my clients would like to bury it, Burns said.

Espino worked for the doctor more than a decade and he completely trusted her with his financial duties, prosecutors say. However, they also say between May 20, 2007 and Aug. 31, 2009, Espino began writing checks to herself, taking a total more Jenny Espino than $79,000 through 50 checks. The doctor reportedly did not learn of the taking until he was unable to pay his bills and risked closing his business and losing his home. Smith does not deny his client took some money inappropriately but said it falls short of the amount alleged which will be a point at sentencing. Her employer was aware of and signed some of the checks even though he now disputes the authorization, Smith said. Smith also said Espino was pressured by a con man to take the money. He finagled his way into her family affairs, leading her to believe he would help her get a new kidney for her sister, and ultimately began threatening violence if she did not take the money, Smith said. However, a duress defense only works if it is an immediate threat and his clients failure to escape the situation means he could not use that argument before a jury, Smith said. The District Attorneys Ofce charged her with embezzlement and excessive taking rather than for each individual check because the amounts involved and possible sentencing boiled down to essentially the same, Guidotti said. Espino is free from custody on a $10,000 bail bond. She returns to court April 10 for sentencing. Whether she receives the full 16 months or a lesser term is likely dependent on her attitude and how much of the money she can pay back, Guidotti said. Smith said he does not know if Espino will be able to make any of the restitution. She has no prior criminal history in San Mateo County.

Police nab suspect in residential burglary
A suspect connected to a Sunday burglary on the 1600 block of Sixth Avenue has been arrested, according to Belmont police. The victim reported that a man had broken into his apartment and removed miscellaneous jewelry and electronics, according to police. During the investigation, information was obtained indicating the possible suspect was Nicholas Dillon, a 27-year-old Foster City resident. At about 1:35 a.m., as part of the investigation, Belmont police contacted the Foster City Police Department and learned that at that moment, Dillon was being detained for investigation of driving under the influence, according to police. Belmont investigators responded to the scene of the traffic stop in Foster City and recovered items that had been stolen in the burglary from Dillons vehicle, according to police. Dillon was subsequently cited by Foster City police for DUI and booked into the San Mateo County Jail by Belmont police on a charge of possession of stolen property.
The former ofce manager for an elderly Burlingame doctor spent two of her 10 years of service embezzling more than $79,000, putting him at risk of losing his business and home, according to prosecutors who planned to try her this week. But instead of facing a jury, Jenny Jacqueline Espino, 40, is facing up to 16 months in prison after pleading no contest yesterday to felony embezzlement. Defense attorney Chuck Smith said the resolution is actually a year jail term under the new realignment rules. Espino settled her case on what was the sixth setting of her trial since rst being arraigned in June 2010. In return for her plea, prosecutors dropped another charge of identity theft. The resolution is a pretty good settlement, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Celebrating Black History Month can be more exciting than reading from a text. On Wednesday evening, the Black Parents Association of the San Mateo Union High School District is hosting the Black History Extravaganza. The free family event will feature live drumming, Afro-Brazilian dance, spoken word, melodic singing and a talk by CSM ethnic studies professor Frederick Gaines. Food will also be available, with all proceeds beneting scholarships offered by the Black Parents Association. Event organizer Medina McKinney wanted the event to be engaging for the 5-yearold who was first being exposed to the topic as well as the 70-year-old grandmother attending with her family who can relate to
the history being shared. Families can come together and enjoy food and education as well as looking through the past, McKinney said. The event not only highlights Black History Month, but also offers an introduction for many to the Black Parents Association of the San Mateo Union High School District, a parent association made up of parents, legal guardians, teachers and friends of high school students. The group is dedicated to cooperatively promoting quality education for black students and enriching their high school experience. I am looking forward to a spectacular event, said Kimya Cotton, secretary of the Black Parents Association of the SMUHSD. Events such as this help bring a positive rapport to our community. We want our youth to be inspired. This is an opportunity to educate them on the importance of self worth and the history
of our ancestors. Black History is not just one month out of the year, it is every day. Cotton continued that the event isnt just about black history but also developing unity amongst the youth and community throughout the district. Working together, the group helps prepare students for college by providing information about college, resources about the high school experience, college scholarships and application support, and offering academic achievement awards. The event doubles as an opportunity to raise funds for the groups scholarships. The Black History Extravaganza will be 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22 at the San Mateo High School cafeteria, 650 N. Delaware St., San Mateo. For more information contact Medina McKinney at SMUBPA@gmail.com.

SACRAMENTO Two dozen city and county governments in California face a combined $135.7 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, according to a study released Tuesday that also found the problem is growing. The Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and a nonprot group, California Common Sense, evaluated 24 local government pension systems that are not part of the California Public Employees Retirement System, the states main pension fund. The funds ranged from those for smaller entities, such as Santa Barbara and Stanislaus County, to the largest local governments in California, including Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. The report found that none of the systems is at least 80 percent funded, which often is used
as a benchmark for the minimum funding level of pension funds. The study assumed a 5 percent annual rate of return for the funds investments, much more conservative than the 7.75 percent or greater annual return rate assumed by many of the funds. The two retirement systems operated by the city of Fresno came close, with a funded ratio of 78.5 percent, while the pension system in neighboring Kern County was only 41.5 percent funded. Each system substantially understates liabilities and overstates funded ratios, the report stated. Anne Holdren, executive director of the Kern County Employees Retirement Association, said the countys pension system uses different assumptions than Stanfords group. She said the association projects it has a 60 percent funded ratio, which has prompted the pension board to schedule a review of its funding levels.
Menlo Park Councilman Andy Cohen announced he is running for county supervisor, joining his citys mayor in the race and bringing the candidate pool so far to seven. The candidate ling period does not end until March 9 but already more than a halfdozen people say theyre vying for the District 4 seat. Cohen is the latest, pulling papers on Friday. Cohen, 72, is in his second term on the Menlo Park City Council and served as mayor in 2008. During his time, hes often been at odds with fellow councilmembers and in 2010 filed a complaint with the Fair Political Practices Commission over Redwood City Councilwoman Rosanne Fousts voting on the Saltworks plan while heading a private economic group which endorsed it. So far in this campaign, Cohen will face off with Menlo Park Mayor Kristen Keith,
County Board of Education Trustee Memo Morantes, Redwood City School Board Trustee Shelly Masur, East Palo Alto councilmen David Woods and Carlos Romero and Ernie Schmidt, Redwood City Commission Andy Cohen Planning vice chair. The District Four seat, containing primarily East Palo Alto, Redwood City and Menlo Park, is opening up because current Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson is being termed out. Gibson has not made a formal endorsement but has said she is backing Woods. The election primary is June 5. If no one candidate receives more than half the vote, the two top vote-getters will square off in November.
Officials in the Hillsborough City Elementary School District approved moderate increases to class sizes, reductions to elementary school specialists and fewer elective opportunities at Crocker Middle School with a plan of about $600,000 in cuts. Last week, the board approved a proposal by Superintendent Anthony Ranii to cut next years budget by $595,950. Raniis proposal started with increasing class sizes in kindergarten and rst grade from 20 to 22, in second and third grades from 20 to 23 and in fourth and fth grades from 24 to 25. Such a change will result in cutting two teachers. Cuts will also include losing an English language learner specialist, two
Spanish teachers and a 12-hour per day computer specialist program. At Crocker, 1.5 positions connected to electives will be reduced and possibly some lunchtime activities. The details of which courses could be cut are not known, but Ranii explained it could mean offering less sections of a certain elective. Hillsborough is currently working with about a $20 million budget, of which $3 million is funded through the Hillsborough Education Foundation. Looking ahead, the district is budgeting conservatively, assuming only basic funding from the state. Numerous meetings were held with residents, parents and employees over recent months to discuss the possible cuts prior to Ranii drafting the proposal.

PHOENIX A surging Rick Santorum is making increasingly harsh remarks about President Barack Obama, questioning not just the presidents competence but his motives and even his Christian values. Mitt Romney also is sharpening his anti-Obama rhetoric. He said Tuesday the president governs with a secular agenda that hurts religious freedom. In general, however, the former Massachusetts governor has not seriously challenged Obamas motives, often saying the president is decent but inept. But Santorum and Newt Gingrich have heightened their claims that Obamas intentions are not always benign, ahead of Wednesdays televised GOP presidential debate and next weeks primaries in Michigan and Arizona. Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who suddenly is threatening Romney in his native state of Michigan, says Obama cares only about power, not the interests of people. He says Obamacare, the health care overhaul Obama enacted, includes a hidden message about the presidents disregard for impaired

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court is setting an election-season review of racial preference in college admissions, agreeing Tuesday to consider new limits on the contentious issue of affirmative action programs. A challenge from a white student who was denied admission to the University of Texas flagship campus will be the high courts first look at affirmative action in higher education since its 2003 decision endorsing the use of race as a factor. This time around, a more conserva-
tive court could jettison that earlier ruling or at least limit when colleges may take account of race in admissions. In a term already filled with health care, immigration and political redistricting, the justices wont hear the affirmative action case until the fall. But the political calendar will still add drama. Arguments probably will take place in the final days of the presidential election campaign. A broad ruling in favor of the student, Abigail Fisher, could threaten affirmative action programs at many of the nations public and private universities, said Vanderbilt University law
professor Brian Fitzpatrick. A federal appeals court upheld the Texas program at issue, saying it was allowed under the high courts decision in Grutter vs. Bollinger in 2003 that upheld racial considerations in university admissions at the University of Michigan Law School. But there have been changes in the Supreme Court since then. For one thing, Justice Samuel Alito appears more hostile to affirmative action than his predecessor, Sandra Day OConnor. For another, Justice Elena Kagan, who might be expected to vote with the courts liberal-leaning justices in support of it, is not taking part in the case.
WASHINGTON An unmistakable dynamic is playing out in the money game among Republican presidential candidates: New super political action committees are growing more powerful than the campaigns they support. For two of the GOP front-runners, their supportive super PACs raised more money and have more cash left in the bank than the candidates own campaigns. Helping their efforts are major nancial gifts from wealthy business executives, whose contributions can be essential to the groups continued operations. The Mitt Romney-leaning Restore Our Future and Newt Gingrich-supportive Winning Our Future raised a combined $17 million last month and spent nearly $24 million during the period. That nancial strength allowed the groups to splash the airwaves in key primary states with millions of dollars in TV ads. The proliferation of new super PACs continues to underscore how the groups, which can raise and spend unlimited sums, are inuencing the race. Their fundraising last month provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the identities of the rich supporters who will help elect the next president, along with details on how the millions of dollars they donated have been spent. Restore Our Future, which had $16 million cash on hand, has been boosted by more than two dozen repeat donors. Winning Our Future, which had $2.4 million in the bank, is largely supported by casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his wife. Meanwhile, Romney raised $6.5 million last month and had $7.7 million left for his presidential bid, while Gingrichs presidential campaign raised $5.5 million during the period and had about $1.8 million in cash remaining. The super PACs, as well as other groups supporting other candidates and the individual campaigns, were required to disclose their fundraising and the identities of their donors in reports led with the Federal Election Commission by midnight Monday. Those reports also provided a snapshot of fundraising for President Barack Obamas early campaign and for Republican candidates as they battled during important primary elections in January.

BRUSSELS The bailout has saved Europe, for now, but its unlikely to save Greece. The (euro) 130 billion ($172 billion) rescue agreed to Tuesday after an all-night summit of European ministers prevented an uncontrolled bankrupcty and calmed investors worried that a Greek default would have started a chain reaction across Europe. But it left key problems unresolved. Draconian budget cuts could keep Greece mired in recession after ve straight years. The deal doesnt directly address the debt problems in other struggling countries in the 17-country zone that uses the euro. Spending cuts could reduce tax revenue and possibly worsen the governments nances. You cant shrink your way out of a recession, said Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the liberal Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington. What they are doing to Greece really makes no economic sense. In Athens, Greeks reacted with a mixture of relief and fear of a dark future. I dont see it with any joy because again were being burdened with loans, loans, loans, with no end in sight, architect Valia Rokou said in the Greek capital. Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said the agreement managed to prevent imminent catastrophe: we avoided the nightmare scenario, he said. The agreement was the second massive bailout of Greece following a (euro) 110 billion ($146 billion) rescue in 2010 that didnt return the country to solvency. It will give Greece (euro) 130 billion in loans through 2014 from other eurozone governments and the International Monetary Fund. It was secured after Greece agreed to painful and humiliating measures, including thousands of layoffs of civil service workers and cuts to the minimum wage, imposed by countries suspicious of Greeces reform efforts after two years of what they called the countrys broken promises.
You cant shrink your way out of a recession....What they are doing to Greece really makes no economic sense.
Mark Weisbrot,co-director of the liberal Center for Economic and Policy Research
The nance ministers wrangled until the early morning over the details of the rescue, squeezing last-minute concessions out of private holders of Greek debt who agreed to lose 53.5 percent of the face value of their investment to avoid even more severe losses if Greece fails to pay (euro) 14.5 billion in debt due March 20. The serious risks of the bailouts failure include the likelihood that Greeces economy remains in a deep recession instead of returning to growth in 2013 as the deal assumes. That would undermine chances of paying even the reduced debt load, estimated at a still-high 120 percent of annual economic output in 2020, down from 160 percent now. Additionally, political outrage over the cutbacks could lead Greece politicians to balk at the tough conditions. That could push rescuer countries led by Germany to cut off further funding. Elections in Greece are expected in April. The leaders of the two main parties have committed to the cuts and reform program, but antibailout parties have been gaining in the polls. Greeces economy shrank 7 percent in the fourth quarter of last year and unemployment is 19 percent, a consequence of cuts in public wages and increased taxes inicted during a downturn. If that keeps up, even the rescuers acknowledge the reduction goal of 120 percent of GDP is long gone. The risks are clearly on the downside, said Diego Iscaro, an economist at IHS Global Insight. By austerity alone, Greece will not solve the problems it has at the moment. We dont know when the economy will return to growth and how it will grow.

A member of the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club prepares to throw a small football during the Zulu Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans,La.
NEW ORLEANS From the familyfriendly avenues of the Garden District to raunchy displays in the French Quarter, New Orleans let loose with a Fat Tuesday party as parades rolled and revelers frolicked amid showers of beads, trinkets and music. The French Quarter began to fill with costumed revelers soon after dawn. Some people hadnt stopped drinking since Mondays Lundi Gras prequel to Mardi Gras. Wearing a bright orange wig, a purple mask and green shoes, New Orleans resident Charlotte Hamrick walked along Canal Street to meet friends. Ill be in the French Quarter all day, Hamrick said. I dont even go to the parades. I love to take pictures of all the costumes and just be with my friends. Its so fun. Across the globe, people dressed up in elaborate costumes and partied the day away. In Rio de Janeiro, an estimated 850,000 tourists joined the citys massive five-day blowout. Meanwhile, the Portuguese, who have suffered deeply in Europes debt crisis, defied a government appeal to keep working. In New Orleans, Brittany Davies was struggling through the early morning hours.
Still feeling the effects of heavy drinking from the night before, her friends had her out again on Tuesday. Theyre torturing me, the Denver woman joked. But Ill be OK after a bloody mary. The predominantly African-American Zulu krewe was the first major parade to hit the streets, shortly after 8 a.m. Most krewe members were in the traditional black-face makeup and the Afro wigs Zulu riders have sported for decades. In the oak-lined Garden District, clarinetist Pete Fountain prepared to lead his Half-Fast Walking Club on its annual march down St. Charles Avenue. Fountain, 82, gave a thumbs up to start off and his band launched into When The Saints Come Marching In as they rounded the corner onto St. Charles Avenue shortly after 7 a.m. It was the 52nd time that Fountains group has paraded for Mardi Gras. This year, the group wore bright yellow suits and matching pork pie hats for its theme, Follow the Yellow Brick Road. In the Quarter, Joshua Westbrook of Dothan, Ala., had been on Bourbon Street drinking since Monday afternoon. His eyes were tired Tuesday morning but he was determined to see Mardi Gras through. Im struggling, but Im going to push through it, he said.
OPINION
industry of the Central Valley and the entertainment industry of Los Angeles. In an effort to exploit the states innovative spirit, in 2010 California launched an Innovation Hub (iHub) initiative to create a statewide network of public and private partners focused on the commercialization of new products. The largest innovation program of its kind, 12 iHubs located across California leverage resources including technology incubators, universities and federal laboratories to provide a platform for startups, VCs, economic development organizations and business groups. To maintain Californias status as the world leader in innovation, it is vital that the state pursue and appropriately manage incubator programs such as iHub which build on Californias pioneering spirit and spur continued growth in areas of emerging technology.
Guest perspective
global trade and production. As global economic growth continues to be fueled by developing countries in Asia and Latin America, Californias strong ties with these regions position the state well. In 2012, it is critical that the state leverage all available resources to ensure that California business owners have access to new markets and can expand their reach beyond our borders. is clear as California continues to be an attractive tourism destination, it will also be attractive to business owners looking for opportunities to grow and expand their business. As the business climate improves, it will be attractive to residents looking to start families and build their lives. Given its strengths in innovation and trade, California remains a leading destination for business. However, other states and nations are aggressively recruiting our brightest and best entrepreneurs and innovators with promises of a more favorable climate for business. For example, in 2011, the Austin Chamber of Commerce opened an ofce in Los Angeles to attract California companies to Texas and San Jose-based eBay announced plans to add 1,000 jobs in Austin over the next decade. There all too many other examples of companies choosing to relocate or expand in other states. To maximize opportunities for synergy and efciency, in 2012 the Golden State must pursue an economic development strategy that is fully integrated, linking all the state agencies that support job retention and growth. A multi-faceted strategy that builds on Californias strengths as the foremost center for innovation, trade and tourism can help fuel the states recovery and put Californians back to work.
Jorge Jaramillo supports economic development regionally and nationally through serving on the San Mateo County Workforce Investment Board and on the U.S. Department of Commerce District Export Council for Northern California. He is also the president of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
t is important to take decisive steps in 2012 to get Californians back to work and return our economy to growth. While the overall global economic outlook calls for slow growth as Europe stumbles, forecasters predict that stronger growth in emerging markets and the United States should keep the world economy moving in the right direction. This mixed outlook for 2012 makes it all the more critical for California to sharpen the states economic development efforts and make recovery a reality. While California has struggled during the great recession, with more than 1.3 million jobs lost since 2008, the latest trends show some movement toward recovery. Over the past year, California added more than 233,000 jobs, surpassing all other states. Yet Californias 11.3 percent unemployment rate remains the second highest in the country, and there is still a long way to go to reclaim lost jobs and return to growth. Californias continued recovery can be accelerated in 2012 by implementing a comprehensive economic development strategy and focusing efforts in the growth areas of innovation, international trade and tourism.
Tourism
California is the nations top travel destination for domestic and international travelers. Spending by domestic and international travelers to the state totaled more than $104 billion in 2011, and the travel industry employs more than 890,000 people statewide. California was the destination for 199 million domestic visitors and 13.4 million international visitors in 2010. In 2012, it is estimated that visitation to California will grow, with international visitors increasing by 4.8 percent. Given the economic value of tourism to California, continued promotion of the state as a premier destination for domestic and international visitors should remain an important focus for 2012. To support job creation in 2012 and beyond, California needs a comprehensive economic development plan which capitalizes on the states strategic advantages that make it an attractive place to visit, live and conduct business. The lines separating economic development, workforce development, community development and tourism development as distinct entities have merged all must come together to form a successful strategy for growth. The underlying logic
International Trade
California also leads the nation in international trade. In 2011, Area Development Magazine ranked California among the top 10 states for doing business, primarily due to leadership in access to global markets. Californias exports in 2010 totaled more than $143 billion. More than 40 percent of container cargo traveling to the United States, Canada and Mexico transitions through Californias ports. In addition, the Los Angeles and San Francisco international airports rank second and fourth in the nation for international air cargo volume. It is clear that the largest markets and greatest opportunities for growth lie beyond our national borders and our continued success depends on
Innovation
California continues to lead the nation in innovation. In Silicon Valley, investment remains strong and Northern California entrepreneurs and early-stage rms alone receive about one-third of venture capital funds nationwide. In the third quarter of 2011, VC investment in Silicon Valley totaled more than $3 billion. Innovation clusters in California extend beyond Silicon Valley hightech, and include biotech in San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area, the agricultural technology

grew faster every quarter last year, and gains in the job market have been impressive, including 243,000 jobs added in January alone. Essentially over the last couple of months youve taken the two biggest fears off the table, that Europe is going to melt down and that were going to have another recession here, said Scott Brown, chief economist for Raymond James. The tumult of last summer and fall left the Dow as low as 10,655. It closed Tuesday 22 percent above that low. The Dow is 1,199 points from an all-time high, a 9 percent rally from here. A long-awaited bailout to help Greece prevent a potentially catastrophic default, announced before dawn in Europe after 12 hours of talks, helped the Dow clear 13,000. Greece will get (euro) 130 billion, or about $172 billion, from other European nations and the International Monetary Fund. In a separate deal, investors in Greek bonds will be asked to forgive (euro) 107 billion in debt. After months in which talks crawled along and vague headlines yanked the market up and down, the conclusion was almost anticlimactic because the markets were already expecting an agreement.

NEW YORK It came and went in a ash each time, a number on a board for mere seconds, but its symbolic power couldnt be dismissed. The Dow Jones industrial average, powered higher all year by optimism that the economic recovery is nally for real, crossed 13,000 on Tuesday for the rst time since May 2008. The last time the Dow was there, unemployment was 5.4 percent, and Lehman Brothers was a solvent investment bank. Financial crises happened in other countries, or the history books. The milestone Tuesday came about two hours into the trading day. The Dow was above 13,000 for about 30 seconds, and for slightly longer at about noon and 1:30 p.m., but couldnt hold its gains. It nished up 15.82 points at 12,965.69. Still, Wall Street took note of the marker. It was just last summer that the Dow unburdened itself of 2,000 points in three terrifying weeks. Standard & Poors downgraded the United States credit rating, Washington was ghting over the federal borrowing limit, and the European debt crisis was raging. A second recession in the United States was a real fear. But the economy
SAN FRANCISCO HewlettPackard Co. CEO Meg Whitman will get a chance to persuade investors that she is well on her way to cleaning up the mess left behind by her predecessor when the worlds largest personal computer maker reports its scal rst-quarter earnings. The results, due out after the stock market closes Wednesday, will be as much of a rehabilitation update as a breakdown of HPs financial performance for the November-through-January period. Whitman, who had a successful stint as eBay Inc.s CEO before failing in her
2010 bid to elected Californias governor, took over the HPs top job ve months ago after the company fired Leo Apotheker to end his 11-month reign. That means this report will cover HPs rst full quarter with Whitman at the helm. Since her arrival, Whitman has spent much of her time trying to rebuild employee morale, regain customers condence and repair the damage under Apotheker. Her biggest decision so far has been to hold on to the PC business that Apotheker announced he was considering discarding. While most analysts think Whitman made the right call, the PC industry isnt healthy right now. Thats largely because
selling new computers is becoming increasingly difcult as more consumers embrace smartphones and computer tablets such as Apple Inc.s iPad. Making the things even tougher, there was a shortage of hard disk drives a key PC component late last year after massive ooding closed factories in Thailand. A weakening economy in Europe and a strengthening dollar in the U.S. also undercut PCs sales. HPs indecision on whether it wanted to keep making PCs didnt help matters either. The uncertainty caused some companies and consumers who were still interested in buying PCs to choose products from vendors rmly committed to staying in the business.

Cheesecake Factory 4Q profit climbs 37 percent
CALABASAS HILLS The Cheesecake Factory Inc. said Tuesday its prot jumped 37 percent in the scal fourth quarter, aided by an extra week of business and better sales at both its namesake and Grand Lux Cafe restaurant chains. Cheesecake Factory said its prot grew to $29.9 million, or 54 cents per share, in the quarter ended Jan. 3. A year earlier it earned $21.9 million, or 36 cents per share. The company said its prot totaled 55 cents per share if one-time costs and gains are excluded. Its revenue increased 15 percent, to $477.7 million from $416.7 million. Analysts expected Cheesecake Factory to report a prot of 52 cents per share and $470.7 million in revenue The fourth quarter was 14 weeks long, and Cheesecake Factory said the extra week added $43 million to its revenue. The company said sales at Cheesecake Factory locations open at least a year rose 2.7 percent, and revenue from Grand Lux Ca locations open at least a year rose 1.9 percent. Revenue from locations open at least a year is considered a key measurement of restaurant chain performance because it excludes results from locations that have opened or closed in the last year. At the end of the year the company had 156 Cheesecake Factory restaurants, 13 Grand Lux Cafes, and one RockSugar Pan Asian Kitchen restaurant. It had a total of 163 locations at the end of 2010.

Tom Martinez, who has garnered a lot of attention for being Tom Bradys longtime personal quarterback coach, was rst known as a rst-rate coach at College of San Mateo. Martinez died of heart attack around 1 p.m. Tuesday while receiving a dialysis treatment. It was his 67th birthday.
He was 67 and along with wife, Olivia, leaves three children their spouses six grandchildren and hundreds of young athletes in the Bay Area and around the country, said Olivia Martinez in an email. Tom Martinez was a Tom Martinez

The Hillsdale girls soccer team entered the Central Coast Section Division II tournament facing a daunting task: taking on perennial CCS contender Presentation. While the Knights acquitted themselves well against the Panthers, they came up short, losing a 2-1 decision Tuesday afternoon in San Mateo. Despite the loss, Hillsdale coach Samia Shoman was satised with her teams effort. From beginning to end, with a few lapses, [we] fought, Shoman said. Im happy with the result. If not for slow starts to each half, who knows what might have been. Presentation (12-3-7) scored off corner kicks in the opening minutes of both the rst and second halves. The Panthers had Hillsdale (16-3-2) on its heels in the rst ve minutes of the rst half with Taylor Locke making a number of dangerous runs down the middle of the eld. In the seventh minute, the Panthers found the back of the net. Megan McArthur took a corner kick and drove it hard along the ground into the Hillsdale goal box. Corinne Jaques ran on and poked the ball through the Hillsdale defense and into the net. After that, the Knights appeared to wake up and make a game of it. They started to possess the ball a little better, did a better job linking passes together and started challenging for 50-50 balls all the things they werent doing at the beginning of the game. [Presentation was] disrupting a lot of what we tried to do, Shoman said. Theyre a fast team. They were beating us to a lot of 50-50 balls.

If youre the San Mateo boysbasketball team, it must feel real good to be back. The last time a Bearcats team picked up a win in the Central Coast Section basketball playoffs, the year was 2009. Fast forward three years and San Mateo is back in the win column. Representing the Peninsula Athletic League as the Lake Division champions, the Bearcats defeated Live Oak 51-43 Tuesday night in CCS Division III action. Were excited because our school hasnt felt this for a while, said San Mateo forward and Lake Division Most Valuable Player Ben Skelton, who scored 13 points in the win. We just had to play defense, and shut them down. The Bearcats set the tone defensively from the onset, allowing just 17 points in the rst half. And while they struggled from the oor and from the foul line in the second half, their commitment to that defense early on was the key to the victory. We just had to quit rushing, said San Mateo coach Julian Hudson. We were trying to rush. (Live Oak) tried to put a little pressure on us and we were just rushing trying to beat it right away rather than taking our time and running our stuff. Tuesdays win was a game the Bearcats led from the six-minute mark of the rst quarter; but it wasnt always the most comfortable of things. San Mateo led 13-9 after one quarter of play, with Skelton and John Schrup carrying the load offensively. The Bearcats then built their biggest lead of the half behind some aggressive defense. Andrew Ho was huge off the bench for San Mateo in the second quarter. In that period alone, he accounted for ve steals. The Bearcats led by 10 twice. His energy, it really settled up down, Hudson said of Ho. Hes really the calming inuence on the team even though you see him running around and hustling. Live Oak was 6 of 19 from the oor in the rst half, while Skelton and Schrup paced the Bearcats with eight and seven points respectively. They led 27-17 at halftime. But the Acorns made their run in the third quarter behind a little defense of their own. Schrup came out and knocked down a 3-pointer out of the

Aragons Make Ahoia puts up a shot during the Dons 57-55 loss to Los Altos in the rst round of the CCS Division II tournament.
When a basketball team loses by a single bucket, it only spotlights all the little things that went wrong throughout the game. The Aragon girls basketball team, on paper, looked to be the favorite against visiting Los Altos Tuesday night. The Dons came in with an 18-8 record, while the Eagles were just two games over .500 (13-11) on the year. Thats why they play the game. Los Altos did just enough in the fourth quarter to top Aragon 57-55 in a back-and-forth affair. The most glaring difference came at the free-throw line. While Los Altos made only one more free throw, the Dons missed 10 in the game including six in the nal eight minutes alone. We missed our free throws, said Aragon coach Annette Gennaro-Trimble. You cant miss free throws. Aragon was 8 for 14 from the line in the fourth quarter, while Los Altos missed only once in the nal period and only four times all game. In the end, Los Altos made more plays down the stretch than did the Dons. The Eagles out-scored Aragon 9-7 over the nal who run the BCS. When the games will be played is a hot topic, too. The 11 conference commissioners and Notre Dames athletic director met Tuesday in Dallas, along with BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock to resume discussing possible changes to college footballs postseason.
2:24, with Los Altos Lauren Amorese scoring her teams nal eight points to nish with a game-high 24. After a Justine Kubo 3-pointer tied the game for Aragon at 53 with 1:21 left, Amorese scored on a baseline drive to put the Eagles ahead to stay, 55-53, with 1:09 left. After Aragon came away empty on its next possession, Amorese hit a oater on the baseline to put the Eagles up four, 57-53, with 32 seconds left. [Los Altos] played well. I wont take anything away from them, Gennaro-Trimble said. They made the shots they needed to make. Aragons Corie Stocker scored a layup as time expired for the games nal points. Stocker led the Dons with 14 points, but had only four after halftime. Kubo picked up some of the slack, scoring all of her 13 points in the second half. They had two girls on [Kubo] and she was pushed and shoved all night, GennaroTrimble said. When the nal horn sounded, it ended a game that saw 10 lead changes and six ties. Things started well for the Dons as they hit four of their rst ve shots as they led 13-11 after one quarter and dominated the boards. While there seems to be growing support for creating a four-team playoff to determine a champion, how exactly that would work and when the games would be played remains to be seen. Its very clear the commissioners do not want the championship game to be played too late, Hancock said in a telephone interview.
Los Altos scored the rst bucket of the second period to tie the game at 13 and a 3-pointer from Ideen Seyed gave the Eagles their rst lead of the game at 16-15. A 6-0 run midway through the second quarter gave Los Altos its biggest lead of the first half, 24-19, but Stocker knocked down back-to-back jumpers late and the Dons trailed by just one at halftime, 24-23. Aragon turned up the defensive intensity in the third quarter, forcing the Eagles into eight third-period turnovers. Offensively, the Dons got off to a slow start to begin the second half, eventually trailing by six, 29-35. The Dons, however, closed the quarter on a 12-5 run and led by a point, 41-40, going into the fourth. The game went back-and-forth over the nal eight minutes, but the Dons missed 4 of 6 free throws during a 1:31 span, keeping the Eagles in the game. When Chanel Joyce knocked down two free throws with 2:05 left, it put Aragon up 51-49 the Dons last lead of the game. Our girls played tough and played as hard as they could, Gennaro-Trimble said. He couldnt dene too late, but in the past the BCS title game has been held as late as Jan. 10, and has regularly been played on Jan. 7 or 8 since it was implemented for the 2006 season. Hancock added the commissioners were resolute about not having BCS games in the midweek after Jan. 1.

a ght against Bradley, a 140-pound champion from Palm Springs, Calif., who has never been in a fraction of the spotlight that follows Pacquiao across the globe. Pacquiao will make sure every fan knows all about Bradley (28-0, 12 KOs), praising him as a game Manny opponent who enjoys a Pacquiao good action ght as much as he does another indirect swipe at the defenseoriented Mayweather. Its nice to be ghting a ghter who is undefeated and not worried about losing that zero on his record, said Freddie Roach, Pacquiaos longtime trainer. Yet Roach repeatedly showed little interest in a bout with Bradley in recent years, citing Bradleys near anonymity and limited knockout power. Although Bradleys record makes him an eminently worthy opponent, he only pulled into prime position for the bout last year when he joined promoter Bob Arums Top Rank alongside Pacquiao. Pacquiao and Bradley havent exactly built up any motivation to punch each other in the face yet, either. After Pacquiao cracked up in laughter when he posed for a staredown with Bradley, the Filipino champion grabbed a camera and shot a few photos of Bradley, who struck a goofy pose. Pacquiao is probably the best ghter in the history of boxing, said Bradley, a physical boxer best known for using his shaved head as a battering ram to get inside on his opponents. Hes a great role model, a great guy, but Manny Pacquiao has reigned for a long time, and I really feel like Im the new face of boxing. Boxing could need a new face as soon as next year. Mayweather has fought sparingly in his 30s, and Pacquiao says hell consider retirement in November after his next two bouts. Pacquiao cites a renewed religious fervor for his interest in retirement, saying hes no longer comfortable pounding on his opponents while winning his last 15 ghts. Roach said Pacquiaos last training camp fell apart in its nal days because of numerous distractions including friction between Pacquiao and his wife, Jinkee, resulting in a mediocre performance in a narrow victory over Juan Manuel Marquez. He says God doesnt want him to hurt people, Roach said. That bothers me a little bit, but Manny has always been a compassionate person.

BEVERLY HILLS Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley Jr. both realize almost every boxing fan wishes Floyd Mayweather Jr. had been standing next to Pacquiao at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Tuesday. But when Pacquiao and Mayweather failed to make a deal for the ght everybody wants to see, Pacquiao moved down the list of contenders to make a ght he hopes his fans will enjoy. Pacquiao and Bradley are getting an early start on the promotional circuit for their welterweight bout June 9 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas. Even while the Filipino congressman and his unbeaten opponent posed for photos and praised each other in the peach-colored ballroom at the historic Hollywood hideaway, Pacquiao and his camp realized Mayweathers absence looms over the proceedings. Im willing to ght Mayweather, Pacquiao said. But I have to ght the guys who are hungry to ght me. Timothy Bradley is strong, and he can punch. Hes a good boxer, so its a challenge to ght a guy like that. Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KOs) realizes hell have to do plenty of promoting to get fans interested in

sped past a defender and broke in on goal. A second Presentation defender had an angle on Russell and forced her to take a shot earlier than she wanted, being deected out of bounds for a corner kick. Russell wasnt to be denied on the corner. Aleja Cretcher sent the corner toward Russell stationed at the front post. Surrounded by three defenders, Russell somehow got her foot on the ball and poked it through the sea of legs and got just enough on it for the ball to trickle over the goal line before it was cleared away. The assistant referee immediately indicated a goal, despite protests from Presentation. Just like that, the scored was tied at 1 and the Panthers were suddenly in a ght. Presentation continued its attack on the Hillsdale goal, getting off 11 shots in the rst half. But Hillsdales freshman goalkeeper Nicole
Theroux was up to the task, making four saves in the rst half and nishing with eight for the game. The Panthers started the second half much like the rst with a lot of pressure on the Knights goal. Five minutes after halftime, Presentation scored what turned out to be the winning goal, again on a corner kick. Maile Washington took the corner and sent another low, hard cross to the near post. This time, it was Locke who redirected a shot on net, surprising everyone with the bang-bang goal. This time, there would be no comeback for the Knights. They were locked into their half of the eld for a majority of the second half, but made one last push in the last 10 minutes. Kayla Coleman jumped a loose ball deep in the Panthers end, but a Presentation defender came across to sweep the ball away. Russell also had another dangerous chance, but her effort was also thwarted. While she saw her teams season come to an end, Shoman believed the Knights proved that an Ocean Division team can be competitive against a squad from the vaunted West Catholic Athletic
League. Im proud of my girls. For us being here is a bonus, Shoman said. I think we proved we belonged.

line. Lete had 10 assists, six steals and grabbed nine rebounds. And her overall play equated to a tournament win for the Knights which including a couple of huge victories over Sacred Heart Prep and Mercy-San Francisco in the seminal and nals, respectively. Lauren has had a tremendous season this year, Paye said. Shes probably had six or seven games where shes hit big 3-point shots late in the fourth quarter or overtime to seal victories for us. Perhaps more impressive during the WBAL tourney though, was Letes toughness. In the championship game against Mercy, DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE Lete played through a sprained ankle, an Menlo point guard Lauren Lete helped guide injury she sustained in the second half of the the Knights to the WBAL tournament 53-52 win. For her efforts, Lete is the San Mateo Daily championship last week.
Journal Athlete of the Week. She twisted her ankle twice, Paye said. And it looked like she might not be able to continue. We were very worried. And each time she gathered herself, got back on her feet and continued to play. Letes mental toughness isnt new to Paye, whos seen her play since the fth grade. Shes been tremendous. I know from experience (being the point guard) isnt he most fun position sometimes. I ask the girls, OK, will you go in at the 1 position? and theyre like, No, I dont want to play there. But Lauren always takes the challenge and has a great competitiveness. Lete has taken the point guard position naturally. The pressure of making split-second decisions does not faze No. 1. I think Lauren is blessed with a tremendous athletic ability. And its that ability that Lete has translated into personal and team success. As mentioned earlier, former Athlete of the Week Drew Edelman knows a thing or two about lling up began a highly successful career as quarterback coach and mentor to hundreds of young men all over the country. His fame and notoriety grew exponentially when one of his early students, Tom Brady, led the New England Patriots to the Super Bowl. Referred to as the quarterback whisperer by the national sports media, Martinez continued to coach and mentor quarterbacks from grade school to the pros. He prepared JaMarcus Russell for the NFL Combine, making him the number one draft choice that year. Other NFL quarterbacks he worked with include Matt Cassell, when he was with New England; Richard Bartels, for the Arizona Cardinals; Matt Gutierrez of the Green Bay Packers; and Danny Southwick of the Oakland Raiders. This past year, he helped prepare Ricky Stanzi for the Combine and NFL Draft to Kansas City and ran Jeremiah Masolis Pro Day at Ole Miss. Martinez worked with Brady in New England just prior to the NFL opener. Martinez lived in Menlo Park with his wife of 45 years, Olivia Martinez. His three children, Tom, Lisa and Linda, are graduates of the University of California at Santa Barbara, UCLA and Cal Berkeley, respectively. He had a huge heart and he shared a good time with his kids, Dilley said. A great family man.

was turned off in June and he has been ghting to get stronger, while awaiting a kidney transplant. Martinez had what can only be described as a stellar career coaching at College of San Mateo. Hired to coach football and teach physical education, he added softball and womens basketball to his coaching load. It was considered a unique feat in modern-day community college annals to be the head coach of three teams at the same time. Martinezs 1,400 career wins in football, basketball (state record 565), and softball (800) over 32 years made him the winningest coach in California Community College history. His teams won 32 championships. He really was the representation of Bulldog athletics, Dilley said. Its great [Martinez] made such a great contribution to Tom Brady, but really the mark he made was in the hearts he trained and coached at CSM. There are going to be dozens, if not hundreds, of women he coached in softball and basketball (who will be sad by his passing). They were given the same kind of expectations he gave to his football players and he would accept nothing less from their efforts. According to the College of San Mateo, Martinez was most proud of the fact none of his players in any sport ever experienced a losing season during his CSM tenure. Martinez began his coaching career in 1967,
following his graduation from San Francisco State University, where he was hired to coach football and physical education. He then accepted a teaching and coaching job at Jefferson High School in Daly City where he was a math teacher and coached football and baseball. In 1974, after earning his masters degree from Azusa Pacific University, he moved to College of San Mateo, where he became head womens basketball coach, womens softball coach and assistant football coach. The offense and quarterbacks soon became his specialty. During football games, his job was to call plays from up in the stands and, when he became head football coach at CSM, he began the rst of what were unorthodox and, at times, controversial moves. Unlike most head coaches, Martinez remained in the stands during football games so he could continue to call plays and maximize his talent for quickly assessing, diagnosing and prescribing xes for plays that did not work. His ability to make adjustments in both offensive and defensive strategy would become legend in the Golden Gate Conference, as it was known in those days. Fans would often seek out seating below his coaching station in the stands so that they could hear his not so subtle play calling and colorful banter. He has been named to the halls of fame for San Mateo County, Daly City, San Francisco State University, the California Community College Softball Association and the California Community College Womens Basketball Association. Most recently, Martinez was named to the initial Hall of Fame Class at the College of San Mateo. After retiring from CSM in 2007, Martinez

WASHINGTON Sam Kass has a to-diefor job as personal chef to the Obama family but whipping up their meals is probably the least important part of his portfolio. Kass, 31, also has a fancy title as White House senior policy adviser for healthy food initiatives. And thats put him out front this month as the rst lady marks the second anniversary of her campaign against childhood obesity. Kass has traveled the country to promote Michelle Obamas eat-right-and-exercisemore message, demonstrating along the way the pivotal role that hes come to play in helping establish policies that affect what millions of school kids consume each day and in trying to inuence the American diet. When Mrs. Obama was asked during a recent interview what was next for her Lets Move initiative, she quickly passed the question to Kass. What you got? she demanded. Weve got stuff, he promised her. Youre going to be busy. On a recent trip with Mrs. Obama, the assistant White House chef was seemingly everywhere: emceeing a Top Chef school lunch competition, moderating a round-table discussion between the rst lady and parents, briefing reporters on federal nutrition initiatives, and more. Kass, with his distinctive shaved head,
wears a broad and relentless grin and speaks with an enthusiasm thats infectious as he gives shout-outs to people and programs that are amazing, incredible, and powerful. He has a knack for popping out just the right statistics about obesity, Sam Kass nutrition and exercise. But no matter what his policy duties may be, ve days a week Kass retrieves his chefs coat in the afternoon and heads upstairs to ll the Obamas plates with healthy and appealing meals at 6:30 p.m., when President Barack Obama cuts short whatevers afoot in the West Wing to head home for dinner. Theres no need to consult with the rst family on menu options Kass knows their likes and dislikes by heart. Kass is discreet about what he feeds the family, often batting away questions with a top-secret dodge. But he says the family walks the walk on healthy foods, eating balanced meals often dictated by whats in season in the White House garden. With, of course, the occasional splurge to keep the kids happy. Mrs. Obama, for her part, says her girls cant stay out of the kitchen when Sam is cooking. Among the health-conscious recipes Kass has talked up in recent months: seared tilapia
TEMPLE, N.H. A mild winter across the Northeast is injecting extra uncertainty into maple syrup season, but many producers say theyll just go with the flow, whenever it starts. Temperatures have been up and snowfall totals have been down throughout the region this winter, raising some concern for the maple syrup crop. But syrup producers say the weather during the six-week season when sap flows matters more than the weather leading up to it. The mild winter, Im sure has some effect on the trees and the soil and the microorganisms and so forth, but as long as you get those freezes and thaws during the actual sap flow season, those are what control how much sap you get, said Brian Stowe, sugaring operations manager at the University of Vermonts Proctor Maple Research Center. Below-freezing nights followed by warm days are necessary to start the sap flowing from maple trees, a period that usually begins in late February or early March. But those conditions arrived early in some areas, prompting producers like Ben Fisk, of Temple, to start collecting and boiling sap Feb. 2, more than a month earlier than he did last year. We made syrup the earliest weve ever made syrup this year, said Fisk, 23, a fifth generation producer who has been making maple syrup since he was 5. This time of year, there should be three or four feet of snow, and it should be cold out and we shouldnt even be thinking about making syrup for another couple weeks. Though Fisk was happy to get a jump start on the season, it could end early, too, if pro-
longed stretches of warm weather result in budding trees. Thats the main concern in New York state, where the director of the New York Maple Producers Association has been hearing from plenty of worried members. Ive had more phone calls this year than Ive ever gotten before. Everyone wants to know what everyone else is doing. Is it time? Should we tap? said Helen Thomas, who set the 1,700 taps on her familys farm about a week earlier than usual. With so little snow, she worries that all it will take is one warm day in March to trick the trees into thinking spring has arrived. Once trees start to bud, the sap develops an off flavor, effectively ending the season. The snow moderates any warm-up. You can have a 60-degree day in March, but if theres two feet of snow on the ground, that tends to keep the woods cool, so you can get past that warm day or two, she said. In North Andover, Mass., Paul Boulanger of Turtle Lane Maple Farm, has decided not to tap his trees at all this year because hes already seeing signs of leaf buds on the trees. Even if we started tapping right now, wed only get a couple of weeks of very watered down sap, and its just not worth it ... We just didnt have winter, and without winter, theres no spring, and without spring, theres no maple syrup, said Boulanger, who still plans to give educational tours of his sugar house by watering down syrup he made last year and turning it back into sap. But in northern Vermont, Jacques Couture is optimistic. Couture, 61, has been sugaring since he was a toddler and has run his own operation for 40 years. Some of his best

FOOD/LOCAL
up training in Vienna with an acclaimed Austrian chef. Back in Chicago (where his schoolteacher father taught Malia Obama in fth grade) Kass worked at the Mediterranean restaurant Avec before opening a private chef business, Inevitable Table, that promotes a healthy lifestyle that focuses on the quality and avor of food to encourage good eating habits. These days, Kass mixes plenty of cooking with his advocacy: Hes xed honey crisp apple salad at the Agriculture Department cafeteria, served Elmo a burrito bulging with peppers, lettuce, rice and beans, and prepared Swiss chard frittatas for children on the White House lawn. He doesnt see much of his basement apartment as he juggles the roles of cook, policy wonk and family friend even golng with the president when the family vacations on Marthas Vineyard and in Hawaii. Hes also a big advocate for the White House garden, often helping troupes of schoolchildren harvest its bounty and teaching them about healthy eating. At a child obesity conference last summer in California, Kass told about fretting over nightmare scenarios before hosting a group of schoolchildren for a summer harvest of broccoli, kale and other vegetables an event that was to be observed by a sizeable press corps. He worried about the fallout if just one child set a vegetables-are-yucky tone that would derail the event. But Vincent Boston said some code enforcement ofcers already go too far in enforcing city law. You should take away their ability to issue infractions, Boston said. Until last night, only 17 items were listed as misdemeanors in San Mateos municipal code. The approved ordinance will now allow the city to treat all infractions as misdemeanors and all misdemeanors as infractions. Of the 1,700 code violations the city dealt with in 2010, only 101 citations were issued and only one case went before the citys Community Improvement Commission. The citys municipal code covers all kinds of behavior, from the size of permitted signs and what is allowed on sidewalks to issues with homeowners, including junk in yards and the proper installation of water heaters. The ordinance passed 4-1.

with fried rice and broccoli and carrots, garden herb-roasted chicken with braised greens, broccoli soup, sweet potatoes and greens, and cauliower gratin. His healthy snack suggestions include warm grapefruit with honey, and banana boats stuffed with raisins, nuts and crushed whole grain cereal. The star power that comes with his chefs jacket only helps reinforce Kass message about the importance of eating right. One minute hes demonstrating how to make turkey lasagna with spinach on morning TV or chatting with Elmo about healthy school lunches, and the next hes discussing new standards to improve meals on military bases or working with Wal-Mart to reduce the sodium content in packaged foods. Were seeing real changes, both big and small, happening all over the country, and incredible partnerships and people stepping up in ways that we just never could have foreseen, Kass says. And this kind of effort has just been inspirational and gives us a lot of hope that we can truly overcome these problems in the years to come. Its a measure of Kass growing stature that hes gone from People magazines most beautiful list in his rst year in
SYRUP
Continued from page 17
crops have been after winters just like this one, he said. Some people say, Is it worth tapping this year, you dont even have any snow. Its going to be spring before you know it, he said. But the caution I would say is, Dont transplant your tomatoes outdoors just yet, because it aint over. Unlike points further south, there has been some snow in Westfield, Vt., where Couture lives. But its closer to kneedeep than the chest-deep drifts he faced last year when it was time to tap his trees. Weve had a lot of thaws this winter, he said. But the old timers say, every thaw in the winter is a run of sap in the spring, he said. This is agriculture, and you never what kind of crop youre going to get, but youve still got to try to do the best you can. ... So Im not the least bit discouraged about it at this point. It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. Last year, U.S. maple production hit an all-time high of 2.79 million gallons, led by Vermont with 1.14 million gallons. Beyond good weather, technology has played a role in the industrys growth, with vacuum tube systems that pull he sap from trees and new taps with valves designed to prevent sap flowing back into the trees. Small amounts of syrup already have been produced in southern and central Maine, the No. 3 syrup-producing state behind Vermont and New York. Eric Ellis, a manager at Maine Maple Products in Madison and vice president of the Maine Maple Producers Association, said producers statewide are tapping their trees. There certainly is concern, but going into any season theres always a little bit of doubt, Ellis said. We dont really know until its over what the crops going to be. Bodan Peters, president of the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association, said he probably will wait until early March to set up his 800 taps in Sugar Hill. The mild winter doesnt have him too concerned. Everything leading up to this point is just what gets thrown at us, said Peters, who grew up on a farm and has been tapping his own trees for 12 years.
CODE
Continued from page 1
city code can either face an infraction or misdemeanor. Misdemeanors, however, will only be issued by police ofcers or the Harbor Patrol Master and infractions can be issued by a wide range of city workers including building and fire inspectors. The penalty for an infraction will be a simple ne while the penalty for a misdemeanor could land the violator in jail. But City Attorney Shawn Mason said the goal of the ordinance is not to punish the violator but rather to enforce compliance of city code. These are minor, technical changes to the code that will make it more exible, Mason said. I dont anticipate there will be any changes to the number of misdemeanors that will be issued. The ordinance the council passed last night will allow for misdemeanors currently on the books to now be charged as

avorful (handy since we tend to taste with our snouts as much as our tongues). But that also means youll want to go easy with it to avoid overpowering other avors in your dish. Mint loves vegetables, cooked and raw (its key to the avor of fresh Vietnamese spring rolls, for example). It also goes well with roasted poultry and pork, and helps cut through assertive cheeses, such as feta. Ready to move beyond breath mints?

In the two weeks since New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin went from benchwarmer to global superstar, a wave of Linspired food and drinks has ooded New York City menus. Bars around Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks play, are honoring the Taiwanese-American player with items like Lin-burgers and Lings Asian-spiced chicken wings. Several bars have concocted Lintinis, while the Shake Shack chain is offering a Jeremy Lin-Mint, a chocolate and mint cookie milkshake. And BaoHaus, a Jeremy Lin restaurant near Union Square serving the Taiwanese dumplings known as bao, began selling one stuffed with a curry-spiked pork chop, pickled radish and carrots, and cilantro, a typical Taiwanese preparation. Being Asian, were really excited about it, says Eddie Huang, a Taiwanese-American chef and hardcore Knicks fan whose restaurant walls are plastered with a shrine to Lin. We feel a responsibility any time things are happening in the Taiwanese community to react, whether its in the blog or the menu. Its a great opportunity to educate people about our food, our people. Huang calls the new sandwich the Taiwanese Te-Bao, a reference to Lins devout Christianity and a play on the name of another high-prole Christian athlete, Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Lin had already been dumped this season by two teams, Golden State and Houston, before being picked up by New York in December. With the Knicks stumbling to an 8-15 start and in desperate need of a spark, coach Mike DAntoni gave Lin a chance and the team hasnt looked back. The Knicks have now climbed back into the playoff race in the NBAs Eastern Conference with Lin directing the offense and doing whatever it takes to win. He put up 38 points against Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers, sunk a game-winning 3-pointer against Toronto and had 13 assists in a win over Sacramento this week. Thus began Linsanity. Arctica Bar and Grill in the Murray Hill neighborhood colors their Lintini blue and orange Knicks colors with a dash of blue Curacao and an orange garnish. Ditto for their Lin and Tonic. Feile, a restaurant near Madison Square Garden, concocts a Lintini with Absolut Wild Tea Vodka. At the outskirts of Greenwich Village, Snap Sports Bar hosts an hour-long open bar read free drinks after every Knicks win.

Born in Malatya, Turkey, the brothers ended up in San Mateo about 30 years ago and pursued careers in cinematography and family counseling. They taught themselves music, however, and produced several discs in Turkish that brought the duo to stages across the world. Cemalis music combines the culture and music from Turkey and the United States and blends stirring melodies, alternative electronic rhythms and world beat woven with original contemporary poetry. Some call them the Depeche Mode of Turkey. They have not produced an album of new recordings for nearly a decade, though, but have performed live at the San Francisco World Music Festival in recent years. The brothers are currently mixing their next album at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley and have enlisted some of the Bay Areas top session players to per-

The Rail Authority and Caltrain have a memorandum of understanding to share the corridor with the caveat the statewide agency fund electrication and other improvements for the system. Currently, Caltrain and the San Francisco County Transportation Authority are working together to secure funding for a plan that would electrify the Caltrain corridor and extend the tracks from Fourth and King streets in San Francisco to the new Transbay Transit Center. The SFCTA has proposed a concept for the Peninsula that will be cheaper to build, generate more ridership and be built nearly 10 years before the rail authoritys anticipated completion date.

We are hopeful that we could work with whoever purchases the property to develop the site, possibly in combination with our public parking next door, in a way that will allow for a signicant public plaza/space in the middle of our downtown, he said. Mayor Jerry Deal was happy to hear the news. He agreed with Nantell, a signature outdoor space is missing downtown. Deal was also hopeful a development would include retail, condos and increased parking options. An idea for such a development is

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2012 PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)Although it will be easy for you to get along with most people, you can still expect cross words to come out of your mouth if a nasty person ticks you off. Avoid such types if you can. ARIES (March 21-April 19)If you expect friends or family to do things for you that you can easily do for yourself, youre going to be severely disappointed. You had better be ready to go it alone. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Even if youre sure of yourself, it isnt smart to forcibly impose your beliefs on others. You might win the argument but alienate your pals in the process.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)Although you may be able to see some changes that would clearly benefit your family, your kinfolk may not be prepared to make them. To get their support, theyll need to see what you see. CANCER (June 21-July 22)Even if another has better ideas, you may not be easily convinced. Make sure that youre not putting the kibosh on something cool just because your pride is wounded. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Your conclusions regarding how others should be managing their affairs will be right on the money, yet when it comes to your own bailiwick, youll suddenly go blank. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Avoid inclinations to treat
simple situations in a heavy-handed manner. If you take yourself or events too seriously, you are likely to just make yourself sick. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)Attend to tasks that require know-how and concentration as early in the day as possible, while youre fresh and alert. As time ticks on, your temperament and talents could lose their cutting edge. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)Socializing and being with friends will be fun, provided the time spent with them is of short duration. Unfortunately, your social graces might not have much staying power. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)Because your temper might have a short fuse right now, you could
bring woe to those who cross you and make you angry. Sadly, the probabilities of you misinterpreting others intentions will be high. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Have the courage of your convictions, because if you dont, a know-it-all might try to intimidate you by discounting your ideas in front of others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)Instead of applying incoming funds to new endeavors or merchandise that youve had your eye on, it would be a whole lot smarter to pay off some of your old debts first.

SUMMARY OF ENACTED ORDINANCE The City Council of the City of Millbrae, at its meeting on February 14, 2012, adopted an Ordinance entitled: ORDINANCE TO ADD CHAPTER 6.05 TO THE MILLBRAE MUNICIPAL CODE PROHIBITING THE DISTRIBUTION OF SINGLE-USE CARRYOUT BAGS AND PROHIBITING THE FREE DISTRIBUTION OF RECYCLED CONTENT PAPER BAGS BY RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS AND TO AMEND SECTION 1.05.020 TO DESIGNATE ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL The Ordinance regulates the use of single-use carryout bags to reduce the amount and visibility of litter associated with the bags and encourages the use of reusable bags. The Ordinance prohibits the distribution of singleuse plastic and free paper carryout bags from "retail establishments" for point-of-sale purchases, and requires a minimum of a $0.10 charge per recycled content paper bag and that stores charge for reusable bags except for during time-limited promotional events. Retail establishments include any commercial establishment that sells perishable or nonperishable goods and is located or doing business in the City of Millbrae, but food vendors (restaurants), dry cleaners and non-profit charitable reuse organizations are exempt businesses. The Ordinance requires that paper bags have a minimum of 40% post-consumer recycled content with no use of old growth trees, and be 100% recyclable. Certain protective bags are exempt, such as bakery item bags, meat and produce bags, pharmaceutical bags, flat greeting card bags, dry cleaning bags and bags that hold live plants or small hardware items. The bag charge would not apply to customers using the California Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) or participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP - formerly food stamps). All five members of the City Council, to wit Councilmembers Papan, Holober, Gottschalk, and Lee and Mayor Colapietro, were present and voted in favor of the adoption of this Ordinance. The Ordinance will be in effect on March 15, 2012, and the Regulations will be implemented as of September 1, 2012. This Summary was prepared by the City Attorney in accordance with Government Code Section 36933(c)(1).

been suspected of making secret weapons and to meet Iranian nuclear scientists involved in the countrys controversial program. Irans cooperation with the (IAEA) agency continues and is at its best level, added Mehmanparast. The visit comes as Iran carries out air defense war games to practice protecting nuclear and other sensitive sites. The ofcial news agency IRNA said Monday the four-day air defense war games dubbed Sarallah, or Gods Revenge were taking place in the south of the country and involve anti-aircraft batteries, radar and warplanes. The drill will be held over 73,000 square miles (190,000 square kilometers) near the port of Bushehr, the site of Irans lone nuclear power plant. Iran has held multiple air, land and sea maneuvers in recent months as the tensions increased. The military maneuvers are viewed as a message to the West that Iran is prepared to defend itself against hostile measures and to retaliate including warnings that it could cut the strategic Strait of Hormuz waterway off its southern coast with its naval forces. Tehran is also under heavy economic pressure. Last month, the European Union imposed sanctions on Irans fuel exports and froze its central bank assets.
TEHRAN, Iran As pressure mounts over Irans nuclear program, a top Iranian general warned Tuesday that the nation will preemptively strike anyone who threatens it. The statement by Gen. Mohammed Hejazi continues the deant tone Tehran has taken in its confrontation with Western countries that claim it is developing nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. We do not wait for enemies to take action against us, said Hejazi, according to the semiofcial Fars news agency. We will use all our means to protect our national interests. Hejazi heads the militarys logistical wing. The U.S. and Israel have not ruled out strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran also said Tuesday that a visiting U.N. team did not plan to inspect the countrys nuclear facilities and will only hold talks with ofcials in Tehran. The statement cast doubt on how well U.N. inspectors can gauge whether Iran is moving ahead with its suspected pursuit of nuclear weapons. The visit by the International

Atomic Energy Agency team, which started Monday, is the second in less than a month. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said the visiting IAEA team was made up of experts, not inspectors. He told reporters that the IAEA team was holding discussions Tuesday in Tehran to prepare for future cooperation between Iran and the U.N. watchdog. He said this cooperation is at its best level. The (title) of the members of the visiting delegation is not inspectors. This is an expert delegation. The purpose of visit is not inspection, said Mehmanparast. The aim is to negotiate about cooperation between Iran and the agency and to set a framework for a continuation of the talks. Visits to Iranian nuclear sites were not part of the IAEA visit three weeks ago. But on Monday, Iranian state radio said the U.N. team had asked to visit the Parchin military complex outside Tehran a known, conventional arms facility that has
CARACAS, Venezuela President Hugo Chavez announced Tuesday that doctors in Cuba found a new lesion in the same place where he had a tumor removed last year and said he will require surgery. It is a small lesion of about 2 centimeters (less than 1 inch) in diameter, very clearly visible, Chavez told state television. The announcement thrust Venezuelan politics into new uncertainty because the socialist leader is seeking re-election this year, hoping to extend his more than 13 years in power with a new six-year term. He did not say when or where he
Hugo Chavez
would undergo the surgery, other than in the coming days. He said he would meet with his inner circle to decide and expected to provide more details after a We d n e s d a y
Cabinet meeting. Chavez, 57, said it should be less complicated than what he underwent in Cuba last June, when doctors removed a cancerous tumor from his pelvic region. From July to September, Chavez received four rounds of chemothera-
py, both in Cuba and in Venezuela, and he subsequently said tests showed he was cancer-free. On Tuesday, Chavez denied rumors that the cancer had spread aggressively even as he said doctors do not know whether the new growth is malignant or not. I completely deny whats going around that I have metastasis in the liver or I dont know where, that the cancer has spread all over my body and that Im already dying, he said. He has never specied the cancers exact nature or location, and opposition politicians and critics have repeatedly accused Chavez of a lack of transparency. Analyst Cynthia Arnson of the Woodrow Wilson International
Center in Washington said Tuesdays announcement seriously complicates Chavezs prospects for re-election on Oct. 7. Its now clear that Chavezs cancer is far from cured. Chavezs illness his ability to campaign as well as to govern is a major factor in the race. It erodes the aura of invincibility as well as inevitability that Chavez has always tried to create, she said. The governing party will also be vexed as it lacks an alternative with Chavezs charisma and popular following, Arnson said. She predicted Tuesdays news will make a tight race even tighter against opposition candidate Henrique Capriles, a 39year-old state governor.
