Solutions emerge for Caltrain

Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority proposes short-term fixes
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The head of the Santa Clara
Valley Transportation Authority has
proposed some one-time solutions
to dig Caltrain out of a $30 million
deficit this year including using
money set aside to electrify the cor-
ridor and diverting funds away from
the Dumbarton Rail project, for
instance.
Caltrain lacks a dedicated funding
source and relies on contributions
from the San Mateo County Transit
District (SamTrans), Santa Clara
County’s Valley Transportation
Agency and the San Francisco
Municipal Transportation Agency to
survive. The three agencies form the
Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers
Board, which owns and operates the
Caltrain tracks.
SamTrans is reducing its contri-
bution to Caltrain by about $10 mil-
lion this year due to its own finan-
cial struggles. Both VTA and MUNI
will follow suit, pushing Caltrain’s
deficit to the $30 million mark.
“We appreciate the continuing
support of VTA and we recognize
Caltrain’s immediate funding crisis
is due to SamTrans’ fiscal prob-
lems,” Caltrain spokesman Mark
Simon wrote in an e-mail to the
Daily Journal. “We understand
some people think VTA should help
cover SamTrans’ share of JPB fund-
ing. SamTrans’ funding issues were
not created by VTA nor are they
VTA’s to solve.”
Ridership at Caltrain is actually
up over the past six months, while

San Bruno’s state
of emergency over
Five months after Sept.9 explosion,
city officials getting back to normal
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Nearly five months after a natural

gas explosion ignited a massive fire
that destroyed a significant portion
of San Bruno’s Glenview neighbor-
hood, the city will no longer be in a
state of emergency.
On Tuesday, the San Bruno City
Council is expected to consider end-
ing the local state of emergency it
entered into shortly after the fatal
Sept. 9 blast. Six resolutions extend-
ing this status, the most recent on
Jan. 11, were approved so City
Manager Connie Jackson could
quickly execute contracts to fix
problems caused by the explosion
and fire. Traditionally, a bid process
is required. During times of local
emergency, that process is waived to
create a quicker response.
“We’re at a point where we can

Hats off to Coach Guida
Redwood City park renamed after Pop Warner icon
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When Frank Guida took off his hat and
thumped it across his thigh, the kids he
coached in football knew they were in trouble.
“He didn’t have to say a word,” remembers
longtime friend Steve Zweig.
The hat was such a part of Guida that Zweig
said people could tell he was coming a mile
away just because of the head gear.
But now it is others taking their hat off to
“Coach Guida,” honoring the man who
brought football to scores of Peninsula chil-
dren through Pop Warner by renaming 49er
Field in Redwood City.
Although the park is not where Guida did
all of his coaching — that would be
McGarvey Field — the choice makes sense
because he began Pop Warner on the
Peninsula in 1958 with the Redwood City
49ers. The City Council approved the name
change late last month.
The push to rename a park in Guida’s name
was not a quick effort; city priorities delayed
the plan which Zweig said was in effect short-
ly after Guida died of cancer in February 2005
at age 85.
And what would Guida have thought of his
distinction?
“He’d probably sit down with a brandy and
water,” Zweig said. “He wasn’t the kind of
guy looking for a lot of accolades.”
Instead, those who knew him remember him
as a guy who called every kid champ, who got
LOCAL
Frank Guida
pulled into football because of his kids but
stayed long after they were grown out of sheer
love for the sport and kids.
“A lot of guys know about football and are
lousy coaches. Then there are the ones who
know it’s more about teaching,” Zweig said.
Guida coached an estimated 1,200 kids per-
sonally and touched many more, Zweig said.
Guida’s own two sons went on to coach as
did some of his students who returned to men-
tor new generations of players. The effort
wasn’t limited to boys; the girls were encour-
aged to be cheerleaders.
All, though, were expected to also be schol-
ars.
Guida, too, was more than just football. In
2004, the year he retired, Guida was named
the National Pop Warner Volunteer of the year
and inducted into the group’s National Hall of
Fame. His other accomplishments include
being Redwood City’s 1993 Outstanding
Citizen and the PTA Parent of the year in the
1960s. He was also the father of four.
His 46 years of service isn’t lost on Chris
Beth, parks and recreation director for
Redwood City and — perhaps more notably
— his friend.
When Beth first joined the city, he remem-
bers being told to get in touch with Guida
because he knew a lot of people, including
involved families and could help him get his
footing.
Beth recalls him as warm, sincere and invit-
ing.
“He made kids feel good and that’s what is
important,” Beth said.
Beth brought the renaming to the City
Council on behalf of Zweig and the Pop
Warner Football Association.
The city, puzzled over whether it even had a
naming policy, had to look back to 1954 min-
utes for criteria guidance. The last time the city
had approved a naming request was 1994 with
the Gerry Letzring Little League Complex. As
a result, Beth said the city will work on estab-
lishing a more permanent policy.
The future also means a more public cele-
bration of the park renaming in August, com-
plete with a granite monument. The memorial
might even have Guida with his hat, Zweig
said.
“That was his symbol,” he said.

UC, CSU face deep cuts
California system students will avoid fee hikes
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — The chancel-
lors of the University of California
and California State University sys-
tems said Monday that they don’t
plan to seek student fees increases
this year, despite a state budget pro-
posal that calls for more than $1.4
billion in combined cuts to higher
education.
But UC Chancellor Mark Yudof
and CSU Chancellor Charles Reed
said their promise won’t hold if
Californians don’t agree to tax
extensions that Gov. Jerry Brown is
proposing for the June ballot.
“He already told Mark and I

The report says the event would

Brown is proposing a combined

and $400 million in cuts to commu-

would raise fees by $10 per unit to

Reed’s comments Monday were

are possible without a tax extension.

Drunken driver
caused fatal crash
A South San Francisco man was
arrested on numerous drunken driv-
ing charges after allegedly causing a
crash that killed one of four passen-
gers in his car early Saturday morn-
ing, according to the California
Highway Patrol.
At around 3 a.m. Saturday, a non-
injury crash near South San
Francisco began causing traffic to
slow down and back up to Brisbane
on southbound Highway 101, CHP
Officer Shawn Chase said.
Sean Quintero, 18, who was driv-
ing south on Highway 101 in a 1999
Toyota Corolla with four passen-
gers, did not see traffic stopping
ahead with enough time to slow
down, Chase said.
Instead, he swerved two lanes
over and crashed into the back of a
Ford Explorer, which lurched for-
ward and crashed into the back of a
Toyota Scion.
San Jose resident Margaret
QAQish, 17, was killed in the crash.
She was the middle passenger in the
back of Quintero’s car, Chase said.
Quintero, who officers allegedly
determined was under the influence
of alcohol, and three other passen-
gers were taken to a hospital to be
treated for minor injuries.
No other injuries were reported.
Quintero was arrested on numer-
ous drunken driving charges,
including gross vehicular
manslaughter while driving under
the influence, drunken driving caus-
ing serious bodily injury, driving
with an open container and posses-
sion of alcohol by a minor.

Obama to CEOs: Ask what you can do for U.S.
Republicans out front of
president on regulations
By Larry Margasak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — When
President Barack Obama asked
businesses for advice on creating
jobs, he might have anticipated that
more than 200 responses would
quickly be headed his way courtesy
of Rep. Darrell Issa, a Republican
who once called him corrupt.
A month before Obama reached
out to businesses, the new chairman
of the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee
sent 171 letters to various business-
es and their trade associations. He
asked for help in “identifying exist-
ing and proposed regulations that
have negatively impacted job
growth.”
This Thursday, Issa is giving
business representatives an oppor-
tunity at a hearing by his committee
to vent their frustration with gov-
ernment requirements issued by
unelected bureaucrats. He wants
Obama to include their responses in
a review of government regulations
the president ordered last month in
the administration’s effort to find
rules that cost Americans jobs.
Issa and Obama don’t have to
look far. Last month, the
Associated Press reported that the
Interior Department’s Office of
Surface Mining and Reclamation
estimates the administration’s pro-
posal for protecting streams from
coal mining would strip away about
7,000 of the industry’s nearly
81,000 jobs.
STATE/NATION
By Jim Kuhnhenn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Echoing John
F. Kennedy, President Barack Obama
prodded business leaders Monday to
“ask yourselves what you can do for
America,” not just for company bot-
tom lines, even as he sought to
smooth his uneasy relations with the
nation’s corporate executives.
Speaking to the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce, the president urged the
business community to help acceler-
ate the slow economic recovery by
increasing hiring and unleashing
some of the $2 trillion piling up on
their balance sheets.
“I want to encourage you to get in
the game,” Obama said.
He enumerated new efforts by his
administration to improve the
nation’s business infrastructure,
spend more to support entrepreneurs
and foster greater innovation. He
vowed to address “a burdensome cor-
porate tax code,” and go after
“unnecessary
and outdated
regulations.”
But to a polite,
subdued audi-
ence of about
200 he also
offered a stout
defense of health
Barack Obama care and finan-
cial regulation
overhauls — two signature adminis-
tration initiatives that caused some of
the most rancorous disputes with the
Chamber last year.
“I want to be clear: Even as we
make America the best place on earth
to do business, businesses also have a
responsibility to America,” Obama
said.
“As we work with you to make
America a better place to do business,
ask yourselves what you can do for
America. Ask yourselves what you
can do to hire American workers, to
support the American economy, and
to invest in this nation.”

Egypt regime’s core stands firm
By Sarah El Deeb
and Lee Keath
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO — Egypt’s regime has
offered a string of concessions in the
face of the strongest threat yet to its
rule, but so far nothing that uproots
its entrenched monopoly on power.
The power elite has ruled for six
decades, backed by a constitution it
wrote, state media it controls and
millions of Egyptians who depend
on its patronage. In the face of a
popular uprising, it has shown
dogged resilience in what opponents
say is a campaign to break anti-gov-
ernment protests and preserve the
regime’s authority after President
Hosni Mubarak leaves the stage.
In an example of the levers it can
pull, the government announced a
15 percent raise Monday for some 6
million public employees — a
potent message to almost a quarter
of Egypt’s labor force about where
their loyalties should lie.
Leading the effort is Vice
President Omar Suleiman, a canny
former intelligence chief with vast
experience in international negotia-
tions, who has promised to carry out
change.

Freed Google executive
helped spark Egypt revolt
By Hadeel Al-Shalchi
and Karin Laub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO — The young Google
Inc. executive detained by
Egyptian authorities for 12 days
said Monday he was behind the
Facebook page that helped spark
what he called “the revolution of
the youth of the Internet.” A U.S.-
based human rights group said
nearly 300 people have died in two
weeks of clashes.
Wael Ghonim, a marketing man-
ager for the Internet company, wept
throughout an emotional television
interview just hours after he was
freed. He described how he spent
his entire time in detention blind-
folded while his worried parents
didn’t know where he was. He
insisted he had not been tortured
and said his interrogators treated
him with respect.
“This is the revolution of the
youth of the Internet and now the

It’s possible high-quality
Valentine’s products could cost a lit-
tle more, but by Easter prices likely
will rise, possibly by as much as 5

Africa from Dubai, one of the

Embrace the Bay
By Peter M. Allen
O C
ur great climate makes us lucky
enough to be outdoors year round.
Redwood City has a natural
resource unlike many other Bay Area cities:
an accessible waterfront with natural wildlife
sanctuaries like Bair Island and Don
Edwards.
While Redwood City may be short on
playing fields, aquatic adventures like sailing,
kayaking and rowing are also in their infan-
cy. How many people know that Stanford has
its championship crews’ boathouse here? The
Bair Island Aquatic Center (BIAC) views the
Saltworks Project as a tremendous opportuni-
ty to solve many local sports and housing
challenges while also embracing our Bay in a
way that most other communities have lost
forever.
The Saltworks Project has set aside half of
the 1,400-acre site for restoration, habitat and
open space. The proposal uses private funds
and offers an outstanding opportunity to
address public Bay access by trail and pad-
dle. The local ecotourism possibilities will

Reform before tax increase
Editor,
Gov. Jerry Brown’s State of the State
address shows he continues to pander to his
sole constituency — the Democratically-con-
nected California unions that got him elected.
Brown’s budget fails to propose any cuts to
union worker pensions/wages/health care
costs, but his budget does cut non-union
work salaries. A Stanford study shows
California owes $500 billion in unfunded
union pension obligations, which is impor-
tant because this year’s unfunded pension lia-
bility is next year’s budget cut to schools,
Medi-Cal, etc.
The 2011 budget required $5.5 billion to
meet a small fraction of California’s
unfounded liability — without reform, this
will get worse. But unions don’t want to pay
more for their pensions or have salaries cut,
so Brown proposes none. Unions do want
California to incur over $100 billion in new
California debt for a useless high-speed rail
train, so he supports that. Governor, no new
taxes without union pension reform, and end-
ing the HSR boondoggle before it starts.

the Bay. Anyone who has
been to Africa on safari
knows that tourist dollars
fuel conservation, less that
resource disappear.
The Saltworks 50/50
plan, proposed by devel-
oper DMB Associates,
would guarantee that some 700 acres of cur-
rently fallow land would be turned into use-
ful public open space using private — not
public — funds. Good for the Bay and good
for us, if access to enjoy but not disturb our
Bay sanctuary is enabled. And the human 50
percent of the proposed development will
provide a harmonious connection to our Bay
while providing facilities (like playing fields
and a 3 mile Bay Trail connector) that are
currently in short supply. Redwood City
could become a centerpiece for eco-urban
planning.
Under the covers, the Bair Island Aquatic
Center (BIAC) would selfishly like to see
Redwood City become the west coast nation-
al center for rowing, with a 2500 meter

40,000 riders per day, allowing for weekends
and holidays, amounts to a minimum $100
million income stream (“Caltrain: Time to
fold em?” guest perspective in the Feb. 3 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal).
If each rider spends only $10 a day, there’s
your $100 million.
It doesn’t take a math wizard to see how
important Caltrain is to local economies, and
that’s only lunch money. Imagine all the
other dollars spent by riders if you include
weekends and holidays.
Caltrain has paid for itself many times
over. Don’t throw out the baby with the bath-
water. As a daily weekday rider, I like to
think I not only contribute to other taxpayers
and businesses, but help the environment.

Crooked finger of fate
Editor,
Hooray for the people of Egypt. Spurred on
by events in Tunisia, the Egyptians are throwing
off the shackles of a 30-year brutal dictatorship.
Other Middle Eastern nations are watching
closely. This could eventually spell the begin-

cleansing of the Palestinians from the land
where they have lived for hundreds of years.

Losing it
hances are, I’m losing my mind.
Why not? I seem to be misplacing
everything else.
The idea that dementia was a full-blown
possibility began a week after an impromptu
pasta dinner caused me to pull from the
freezer a bag of ready-made turkey meatballs
from Trader Joe’s. Yum. The bags are easily
closed with a rubber band in the corner when
any of the dozen
chip clips amassed
over the years fail
to materialize in
the silverware
drawer. Said rub-
ber band was
called for that very
evening and was
never thought of
again.
That is until the
need arose for
another rubber
band, this time I think to bundle back up
cilantro. Or maybe to close up the cereal
bag. That’s not important.
What is important is what I found when I
pulled open the kitchen drawer that holds the
rubber bands among the sandwich bags, alu-
minum foil and waxed paper: the remaining
bag of meatballs.
That’s right; there it was. Well defrosted
and obviously exactly where I shoved them
after properly securing the opening with a
rubber band.
The bag went into the trash where obvi-
ously my mental acuity took a vacation long
ago without so much as a bon voyage. I’m
hoping it keeps in touch but in the time since
“The Meatball Incident,” things haven’t got-
ten much better.
On a recent day that already managed to
shove 36 hours of last-nerve moments into a
24-hour period, it was time to escape the
phones, the Internet, the spinning wheel of
death when the computer decides to mal-
function. I grabbed my purse, packed up the
laptop and aerobic walked down the hallway
in hopes of more quickly entering that nar-
row window between leaving work one day
and returning for more the next morning.
But where were the car keys?
Reaching into my computer bag and purse
to find them by Braille wasn’t necessarily a
sign something was amiss. Any woman’s
purse tends to be a jumble of wallet and
phone and gloss and receipts, eye drops just
in case, a Band-Aid, some breath mints. In
other words, there could be a small family of
animals in the purse and there’s a strong pos-
sibility they would go undetected for a long
period of time.
But no, the keys weren’t there. And upon
my return to the office, they weren’t on my
desk. They were instead hanging from the
ignition, barely noticeable from the slight
glint off the parking lot light, mocking me
and reminding me I had done the same thing
a year ago.
Bless the firefighters of San Mateo Fire
Station 24 who were kind enough to save me
in my time of public assist need and blissful-
ly lied, saying they were happy to do it.
Thankfully, the cover of night hid the layer
of dust on the vehicle, not to mention the
chagrined look on my face as the truck
pulled into the parking lot and several fire-
fighters gathered around to contemplate the
best way to jar the window. Thankfully, too,
they didn’t know about my previous forays
into absent-mindedness.
So yes, at this point, it seems pretty clear
my mind is on its way out, if it hasn’t left
completely already.
Maybe it’s not as bad as I think, though.
I might have lost my marbles, but at least I
now know where to look for my meatballs.

Earnings push stocks higher

NEW YORK — Several big acquisi-
tions and a strong earnings report from
Loews Corp. pushed stocks higher
Monday.
Pride International Inc. jumped 16
percent after Ensco PLC, a London-
based oil rig operator, said it would buy
the offshore driller for $7.3 billion.
Beckman Coulter Inc. gained 10 per-
cent after Danaher Corp. said it plans to
buy the manufacturer of medical diag-

Loews Corp. rose 4 percent. The com-
pany, which owns Loews hotels and the
property insurer CNA Financial Corp.,
said falling costs helped earnings rise 16
percent even as revenue slipped slightly.
The results were higher than analysts
were expecting and helped push finan-
cial companies higher.
Joseph Saluzzi, co-head of equity trad-
ing at Themis Trading, said that with no
major economic reports due out this
week, mergers and earnings reports will
continue to drive stocks higher.
Anything that can be construed as good
news is likely to give investors a reason
to buy stocks, he said.

AOL Inc., once the king of dial-up
Internet access known for its ubiquitous
CDs and “You’ve got mail” greeting in
its inboxes, is stepping up its efforts in
news and online advertising with a $315
million deal to buy news hub Huffington
Post.
The acquisition announced Monday is
among the most aggressive strategic
moves engineered by AOL CEO Tim
Armstrong in an effort to reshape a fall-
en Internet icon.
Perhaps just as important as picking up

8.18, or 0.6 percent, to 1,319.05. The
Nasdaq composite gained 14.69, or 0.5

Financial companies rose 1.5 percent,
the largest gain of any of the 10 compa-
ny groups that make up the S&P index.
Lorillard Inc. rose 2 percent after the
company, which makes Newport and
Maverick cigarettes, said it increased
both sales and prices of its products.
AOL Inc. dropped 3.4 percent after
saying it would buy the Huffington Post,
a news and opinion website, for $315
million. Arianna Huffington, the site’s
co-founder and political pundit, will join
AOL’s management team.
Toy maker Hasbro Inc. rose 1.8 per-

year, Huffington will run AOL’s growing
array of content, which includes popular
technology sites Engadget and
TechCrunch, local news sites Patch.com
and online mapping service Mapquest.
The price that AOL is paying is “really
just the hiring fee to get Arianna,” said
technology analyst Rob Enderle. “This is
one of those out-of-left-field moves that
actually makes a lot of sense. This could
put AOL back on the map.”
Putting Arianna Huffington into a posi-
tion of power could also eventually
threaten Armstrong’s job security if AOL

A day after it aired, one of the most-

hopes car buyers are willing to look past
Chrysler’s billion-dollar bailout and

Packers win sends NFL into uncertain offseason

ARLINGTON, Texas — Whether it was as
complicated as deciding how to divide $9 billion
or as simple as making sure everyone with a tick-
et also had a seat, the NFL had trouble getting it
right this Super Bowl week.
The league slogged through bad weather in
Texas, a botched national anthem, a Super seating

Ujihara erupts
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The term “in the zone” gets thrown around
a lot. And that can be a problem.
You’ve seen the term before, probably read
it once or twice a week in a local newspaper
— a player is hot and nearly unstoppable, it is
said he or she is “in the zone.”
But then you run into a night like last
Friday, in which San Mateo’s Grayce Ujihara
truly was there and the term doesn’t quite do
her justice anymore.
In that game against division-leading Terra
Nova the senior guard went off and hit 10, yes
10, 3-pointers, scoring 39 of her team’s 66
points in a 79-66 loss, setting a new Peninsula
Athletic League game record for 3’s in a
game.
“The whole team was pumped,” Ujihara
said when describing her team’s attitude
heading into her final game at home. “That
whole day at school, walking down the hall-
ways and we saw someone it was, ‘Yeah,
we’re ready. Let’s go, let’s get this game.’”
You couldn’t have written a better script for
Ujihara if you tried. For four years, the guard
has called San Mateo home and on Senior
Night, in front friends, family and the person
who held that record, her coach Nancy
Dinges, Ujihara made all other “in the zone”
performances seem unworthy of the title, hit-
ting 10 of 13 shots from beyond the arc.
Her Friday performance followed a
Tuesday night game in which she hit six more
bombs against Menlo-Atherton in a 58-51
win.
For her efforts, Ujihara is the Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
“It was definitely emotional,” Ujihara said.
“Spending the last four years in that gym,
playing every single day. I think I’m just real-
ly happy I got to go out with a bang.”
What a bang it was. For the week, Ujihara
scored 66 of her team’s 124 points, hitting 22
field goals — 16 of which were 3’s.
“She was just hot,” said coach Nancy

Super Bowl, at which
time I pointed out the
same could be said of
any football game, on
any level, on any day.
While his statement
may sound cliché, it
was the truth.
Pittsburgh turned the
ball over three times
and Green Bay turned them into 21 points
— including a pick-six from the Packers’
Nick Collins that put his team up 14-0 late
in the second quarter. Teams that make the
Super Bowl are there because they don’t
turn the ball over and they don’t make a lot
of mistakes. The Steelers made both and the
Packers made them pay.
• The game turned in the fourth quarter as
it came down to this question: Could the
Green Bay offense beat the Pittsburgh
defense? Turns out the Packers could as
they answered each Steeler score with one
of their own. Pittsburgh’s biggest asset —
it’s defense — let the Steelers fans down

Super Bust:Woes were endless for Texas hosts
By Schuyler Dixon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Roads froze and airports
closed. Falling ice sent six people to the hospi-
tal. Finally, seats to the big game vanished
hours before kickoff. Super Bowl week in
Texas was not always so super.
Annoyance over difficult driving conditions
and altered travel plans early in the week
turned to anger Sunday for hundreds of fans
with tickets who were forced to watch Green
Bay beat Pittsburgh on TV at $1.3 billion
Cowboys Stadium in suburban Arlington
because their temporary seats weren’t ready.
Visitors left Dallas-Fort Worth en masse
Monday, many wondering whether the region
had been prepared to host an event of such
magnitude.
“Logistics are a major, major problem here,“
said John Boyle, a 53-year-old Packers fan who
was waiting at Dallas-Fort Worth International
Airport for a flight home to Minnesota. ”And I
think everyone would say the same thing.”
North Texas wasn’t at fault for the seating
problem — the NFL officially took the blame
Monday, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones
chimed in to say his team shared it.
NFL

Led by Rodgers’ pinpoint passing, the Packers
hurried to a 21-3 lead and looked as if they were
ready to run away. But the Steelers pulled as
close as 28-25 midway through the fourth quar-
ter and had the ball, trailing by six and needing
to go 87 yards to win the game.
Only when Ben Roethlisberger threw three
straight incompletions in the final minute were
the Steelers’ hopes over. Green Bay brought its
fourth Lombardi Trophy back to Lambeau Field
and its first since 1997, when Brett Favre was
every cheesehead’s favorite quarterback.
Rodgers finished with 304 yards and three
touchdowns and was named the game’s Most
Valuable Player.
“It’s a very proud moment right now, and I just
can’t say enough about that football team,”
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.
Will the Packers have a chance to go for a
repeat next year?
Depends on whether the owners and players
can come to terms on how to split the $9 billion
their game produces each year.
The owners want a bigger chunk of that cash,
along with a rookie wage scale and an increase
in the regular season from 16 to 18 games. The

The region had no control over the weather,
either, but that wasn’t much consolation to the
owner of a Super Bowl memorabilia shop in
downtown Dallas. Matt Smith said business for
the week was off 90 percent Friday, when an
overnight snowstorm capped a 100-hour
stretch of subfreezing temperatures that turned
sidewalks into slide-walks and kept many peo-
ple off the streets.
That was the same day ice fell from the roof
of Cowboys Stadium, injuring six workers on
the plaza below. Although none of the injuries
was life-threatening, the news broke when
weary visitors were on their fourth day of deal-
ing with a rare cold snap that included subzero
wind chill readings.
Even after the weather cleared, Tim Bastion
of Pittsburgh found out the hard way how diffi-
cult it can be to get around without a car in
sprawling suburbs where organizers intention-
ally put major NFL events as many as 30 miles
apart to emphasize the Super Bowl’s regional
efforts.
players think those two extra games will cause
an exponential rise in injuries and don’t want to
give back any percentage of the revenue pool, a
massive slice of which comes from the net-
works, which combine to pay around $4 billion
a year to televise the NFL.
The millions watching the Super Bowl on TV
probably weren’t all that concerned about those
things and, once the game got going, with the
problems that cropped up this past week, either.
Back-to-back snowstorms in Big D put a
damper on things — forcing flight cancellations,
snarling traffic and putting the kibosh on some
of the pregame festivities. Ice that fell from the
stadium roof caused several injuries.
Meanwhile, there were problems with the instal-
lation of temporary seats that were supposed to
pack another 15,000 into Cowboys owner Jerry
Jones’ $1.2 billion football palace.
With some of those seats unavailable, 1,250
fans with tickets were relocated to different
places around the stadium. Some were forced to
stand throughout the game, while others were
relegated to watching on TV from a field level
club behind the Steelers bench.
“They took us to a bar,” said Paul Colavecchi,
a displaced fan from Clearfield, Pa., who came
to Texas with his sister. “That’s terrific. That’s
why we fronted five grand for this trip — so we
could watch the game in a bar. I didn’t have to
take a plane trip to Texas to watch the game on
TV, and I certainly didn’t buy a ticket so I could
Bastion and his son had to take a hotel shut-
tle nearly 10 miles back to the airport in order
to get a cab to take them places.
“They should have a better system to get
people from location to location,” Bastion said.
“This town is so spread out, and there are so
many places people would like to go.”
Hundreds of flights were canceled early in
the week and again Friday when more snow
hit, but airline estimates indicated most of the
impact was not on Super Bowl travel. Big
weekend crowds at NFL events and in bars,
restaurants and malls were further proof that
most visitors who were planning a Super Bowl
trip actually made it.
Estimates of the economic impact on the
Super Bowl vary widely — from $200 million
to $600 million — and it’s also unlikely the
prolonged and unusual weather event will
affect those figures significantly, said Terry
Clower, the director for the Center for
Economic Development and Research at the
University of North Texas.
watch the game in a bar.”
On Monday, NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell called the seating issue “obviously a
failure on our behalf.”
“We had, obviously, a lot of challenges this
week,” he said. “There were a lot of things we
were trying to deal with. But there’s no excuses.
When you put on an event like this, you know
you’re going to have those sorts of challenges.”
Other missteps came from Christina Aguilera,
who opened the evening by flubbing a line in the
national anthem.
“I can only hope that everyone could feel my
love for this country and that the true spirit of its
anthem still came through,” she said in a state-
ment after the performance.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
“What might have changed is where some of
the spending took place,” Clower said. “For
example, because of the snow and because of
the transportation snags that were weather-
related, you might have had more people get-
ting a meal from room service or inside the
hotel.”
Bill Lively, president of the North Texas
Super Bowl Host Committee, stands by his
belief that the region will get another Super
Bowl.
“I don’t believe the weather issue will be a
problem in getting the game back,” Lively said.
The area rallied with about 48 hours of typi-
cal sunny Texas weather in the final countdown
to the Super Bowl, then the clouds and a chilly
wind returned just about the time the NFL’s
seating issue because a major story. Now the
region and league face a skeptical public going
forward.
“I know a lot of people are probably having
hours and hours and hours of meetings post-
event to try to learn from this,” said Julie
Dennehy, a Massachusetts-based public rela-
tions consultant. “What they need to do is com-
municate how much they learned, and how
they’ve changed. Not what they did yesterday,
but what they’re going to do tomorrow.”
The halftime show got mixed reviews. The
NFL brought the Black Eyed Peas to the field
after several years of going with older, “safer,”
acts — the Rolling Stones, The Who, Paul
McCartney. But the jump back into the 21st cen-
tury seemed a bit stilted at times to some critics.
Then again, it’s supposed to be about the
game and, in this case, that’s where the real
show was.
For decades at the start of the now 45-year-old
Super Bowl era, the NFL produced dud after
dud. More recently, though, the title game has
been exciting and down to the wire — exactly
the way this one was.
The Packers pulled it out in a meeting of two
of the league’s most storied franchises.

• Well, how did you like the Black Eyed Peas

using one of the most over-exposed hip-hop

hip-hop doesn’t usually translate to live per-

bass and the beats, neither of which are given
due justice during live shows.
More than that, however, is the fact that it’s
tough for four members of a group to com-

me [they were] high-fiving our coach, she was
all excited. It’s really nice to have that inspi-
ration.”
It’s been quite the journey for Ujihara,
who’s been a four-year starter for the Bearcats
and has taken her senior season to try and
scale that will cause everyone to sit up and pay
attention.
• Talk about a money grab. Dallas Cowboys
owner Jerry Jones, along with the NFL itself,
was so bent on setting an attendance record
they all but forgot about the fan experience. It
was reported that 400 people who had bought
seats were not allowed in because in the Super
Bowl’s haste to cram as many people as they
could into the stadium, they forgot to get clear-
ance from the fire department to bring in more
temporary seating.
Those displaced fans were given all sorts of
stuff for their hardship — including three
times the face value of the $400 ducat as well
as free tickets to next year’s Super Bowl. If
your team is not in next year’s Super Bowl, do
you really want to go?
• No Super Bowl column would be complete
without writing something about the commer-
cials. Just a general observation: all in all, a
down year for the commercials. Which leaves
you wondering, does the $3 million for a 30-
second spot limit the money spent on the actual
commercial?
My top three favorite commercials:
1). Chrysler/Eminem;
assure her legacy isn’t just that of a scorer.
“To see her develop as a player, and as a
player and as leader ... I think the younger
players look to her,” Dinges said. “I think
Grayce is the kind of player that makes her
teammates better around her. If we’re down,
the players look to her. She brings more than
just scoring points to win. She brings that
leadership role and that determination to win.”
“We have a young crew,” Ujihara said.
“This year I’ve had to step up and do the best
I could for the team.”
That best has the Bearcats competing night-

2). The Carmax one where the guy thought
he was being carjacked at 1950s-era service
station; and
3. The Careerbuilder.com spot where the
chimps box in the human in the parking lot.
My top three overrated/bad commercials:
1). Darth Vader Volkswagen — I don’t
understand when Vader became a fun-loving,
popular guy? When I was a kid, he scared me
to death;
2). Snickers with Richard Lewis and
Roseanne Barr — went to the well once too
often. The Betty White-Abe Vigoda spot from
last year’s Super Bowl caught people off guard.
I’m sure people were almost expecting another
similar spot this year, but missed with Lewis
and Barr; and
3). Doritos — crumble Doritos on ashes to
make a cremated loved one come back to life?
The licking of the guys fingers and pants?
Creepy and weird.

“It’s more of an adrenaline thing,” Ujihara
said of “the zone.” “Once the first couple start
to go in, it starts to get me in it,” she said,
adding that having her friends and family in
the stands, cheering and motivating her, are
the main reasons why she is able to find that
zone — a place all other athletes envy.

Charting anti-obesity progress
By Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Michelle
Obama had doubts about making a
campaign against childhood obesity
one of her signature issues.
“I wondered to myself whether we
could really make a difference,
because when you take on a problem
this big and this complicated, at
times it can be a little overwhelm-
ing,” she said in a recent speech.
The anti-obesity campaign Mrs.
Obama calls “Let’s Move!” cele-
brates its first anniversary
Wednesday. Is it making a differ-
ence?
In some ways, yes. In others, it’s
much too soon to tell.
Advocates who have worked on
the issue for a long time say the first
lady’s involvement is raising aware-
ness about the potential future of the
U.S. as a nation of fat, unhealthy
people unless the trend is reversed,
and Mrs. Obama has been doing it in
ways that they can’t. “She has been
a spark plug,” said Nancy Brown,
chief executive of the American
Heart Association.
Mrs. Obama has addressed gover-
nors, mayors, school groups, food
makers and other constituencies,
urging them to build more bike paths
and playgrounds, to serve healthier
school lunches and to make and sell
HEALTH THE DAILY JOURNAL
Lasting change will take years of
effort, though, and some doubt it
will happen at all.
“I’ve been through so many of
these enormous announcements by
food companies about how they’re
going to profoundly change the way
they’re doing business and they
don’t,’ said food expert and New York
University nutrition professor Marion
Nestle. ”So it remains to be seen.“
Mrs. Obama said when she
launched the campaign that it will
benefit future generations by helping
children born today become adults
at a healthy weight. The issue is
picking up momentum, she said.
“We are seeing a fundamental
shift in our national conversation
about how we make and sell food,”
the first lady said at an appearance in
Washington with Walmart execu-
tives for their announcement last
month. “That’s something that was-
n’t happening just a year ago.”

More candor urged in
care of dying patients
By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Patients don’t want to hear that they’re
dying and doctors don’t want to tell them. But new guidance
for the nation’s cancer specialists says they should be upfront
and do it far sooner.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology says too often,
patients aren’t told about options like comfort care or even that
their chemo has become futile until the bitter end.
To help families broach the topic, too, the group developed
an easy-to-read booklet about those choices, from standard
care to symptom relief, and advice about what to ask to max-
imize remaining time.
“This is not a 15-minute conversation, and it should not hap-
pen in the back of the ambulance on the way to the ICU at 3
in the morning,” says ASCO chief executive Dr. Allen Lichter.
“When everyone is well and has their wits about them, it’s
time to start the process.”
The guidance and booklet — available at http://www.can-
cer.net — mark an unusually strong push for planning end-of-
life care, in a profession that earns more from attacking
tumors than from lengthy, emotional discussions about when
it’s time to stop.
“This is a clarion call for oncologists . to take the lead in
curtailing the use of ineffective therapy and ensuring a focus
on palliative care and relief of symptoms throughout the
course of illness,” the guidance stresses.
But it’s part of a slowly growing movement to deal with a
subject so taboo that Congress’ attempt to give such planning
a nudge in 2009 degenerated into charges of “death panels.”
Now consider a program in Pittsburgh named Closure. In
so-called “community conversations,” the program teaches
families how to talk with each other and their doctors about
what they want — and want to avoid — in their final days.
Created by the Jewish Healthcare Foundation, sessions have
spread to hospitals, religious centers and neighborhoods
around the city, and a website opened last month at
http://www.closure.org.

‘Fat cancers’hit developing nations
A new report estimates that 340,000
cancer cases could be prevented each
year in the United States if more people
ate better, kept their weight down,
exercised and drank less alcohol.
CALTRAIN
Continued from page 1
ridership at SamTrans has steadily
declined over the same period.
“The crisis shines a spotlight on
SamTrans’ fiscal crisis and its impact on
Caltrain,” said Yoriko Kishimoto, for-
mer Palo Alto mayor and member of
Friends of Caltrain. “We have to
remember that SamTrans stepped up to
save Caltrain before and now it’s time
for the other two agencies to step up.”
The $30 million deficit has caused the
Silicon Valley Leadership Group to
make Caltrain its top regional priority.
The VTA and SVLG are currently con-
ducting polling in Santa Clara County to
determine if the public would be sup-
portive of a new tax or fee to fund
Caltrain for the long term.
To help Caltrain’s short-term financial
crisis, the VTA is willing to pay back a
$7.1 million loan to SamTrans for the
original purchase of the Caltrain right of
way in 1991, if the money is applied to
fund SamTrans’ contribution to Caltrain
for fiscal year 2011-12, according to a
memo by Michael Burns, general man-
ager at the VTA.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — “Fat cancers” usually
associated with wealthy countries are
becoming more common in the develop-
ing world, too, according to new reports.
Obese people are thought to be at high-
er risk for many so-called “fat cancers,”
including breast and colon cancer. A sep-
arate report out Friday shows obesity
rates worldwide have doubled in the last
three decades, especially in the West but
also nearly everywhere else.
“Sadly, changing ways of life, such as
reduced physical activity, are making peo-
ple unhealthier and in turn prone to such
diseases as cancer,” Dr. Eduardo Cazap,
president of the Union for International
Cancer Control, said in a statement
released by the World Health Organization.
projects to determine what we can and
cannot afford in order to preserve the
maximum amount of Caltrain service
going forward,” Burns wrote in the
memo dated Feb. 2 to the VTA Board of
Directors.
Burns wants funds, about $5.5 million
annually, identified for the stalled
Dumbarton Rail project to be redirected
to Caltrain. The estimated $700 million
project to run commuter trains over the
bridge, however, is years off and its con-
struction is unfunded.
“With a capital shortfall of several
hundred million dollars and a further
need for additional operating funds, the
region cannot afford this project at this
time,” Burns wrote in the memo.
Friends of Caltrain, a grassroots
group recently formed by Kishimoto
and others, has made it its mission to
find long-term funding solutions for
Caltrain while trying to keep the trains
on the tracks this year.
Friends of Caltrain spokeswoman
Margaret Okuzumi agrees that money
earmarked for the Dumbarton Rail proj-
ect should be diverted to Caltrain.
“If Caltrain is dead then Dumbarton is

For decades, health officials have wor-
ried about the impact of cigarette smok-
ing — another nasty habit common in
industrialized countries — on lung cancer
deaths in developing countries.
But now, they say, it’s becoming
increasingly urgent that those nations
also do something about overeating and
poor health habits.
The WHO on Friday recommended 2
1/2 hours a week of moderate physical
activity for reducing the risk of breast
and colon cancers. Some scientists think
increased levels of insulin and certain sex
hormones in the obese may somehow
trigger cancer growth.
Cancer is seen mostly in older people,
and tends to be more common in soci-
eties without as much of the diseases,
violence and other problems that kill
people early in life.
would operate only during the weekday
commute. All other service would be
eliminated including weekday trains
outside the commute peak, weekend
service and service to Gilroy. The
schedule also would require the suspen-
sion of service at up to seven stations,
according to Caltrain.
Other short-term proposals by VTA to
solve Caltrain’s current deficit include
selling off some of its property, includ-
ing Diridon Station, and working with
the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission to prioritize Caltrain for
any regional discretionary funding.
Another proposal, to divert funds
away from Caltrain electrification, has
identified about $191 million in local
funding that was committed toward
electrification that could be used to fund
Caltrain in the short term.
“With the High-Speed Rail Authority
focusing its efforts on the Central
Valley, the timing for the Peninsula seg-
ment is uncertain. Therefore, the three
partners should explore redirecting
funds identified for electrification to
operations to the extent possible,” Burns
wrote in the memo.
Friends of Caltrain, however, is
opposed to this idea.
“Electrification is vital for Caltrain’s
future,” Okuzumi said.

Health care fraud: Not a faceless crime any longer

By Ricardo Alonzo-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Health care fraud
once was a faceless crime. Now it has a mug
shot, even a smile.
Medicare and Medicaid scams cost tax-
payers more than $60 billion a year, but
bank holdups are more likely to get greater
attention.
The government wants the public’s help in
trying to catch more than 170 fugitives
wanted for fraud, so it’s developed a new
health care most-wanted list, with its own
website — http://www.oig.hhs.gov. Most
are dour; some sport smiles.
One name on the list is Leonard Nwafor,
convicted in Los Angeles of billing
Medicare more than $1 million for motor-
ized wheelchairs that people didn’t need.
One person who got a wheelchair was a
blind man who later testified he couldn’t see
to operate it.
Facing time in federal prison, Nwafor dis-
appeared before his sentencing.
“We’re looking for new ways to press the
issue of catching fugitives,” said Gerald
Roy, deputy inspector general for investiga-
tions at the Health and Human Services
Department. “If someone walks into a bank
and steals $3,000 or $4,000, it would be all
over the newspaper. These people manage to
do it from a less high profile position, but
they still have a tremendous impact.”
Even though motorized wheelchairs can
cost up to $7,000 apiece, Nwafor’s scam
was on the low end when compared with
licensed. A registered nurse, Bendigo was
the nursing director for a company that pro-
vided personnel for home health agencies.
Allegedly, she was fully aware that she was
required to send licensed nurses to care for
patients.
Topping the list are Miami brothers
Carlos, Luis and Jose Benitez. Owners of a
string of medical clinics, they allegedly
scammed Medicare out of $119 million by
billing for costly HIV drugs that patients
never received or did not need. Authorities
say they bought hotels, helicopters and
boats before fleeing to Cuba.
The FBI has the marquee most-wanted
list, but the Environmental Protection
Agency and other federal agencies also
maintain their own.
Roy said he hopes this newest list will
raise awareness about the importance of

“It is important for the health of the Earth,”
Feierbach said. “We get many e-mails from all
around the world on this one.”
At a council workshop Jan. 30, however,
councilmembers shared concern about staff’s
ability to take on new projects and directed
department heads to “slow down” on priority
calendar items.
Last year, the council put 10 projects on a
“suspended” list, including the annexation of
the Harbor Industrial Area, crafting a solar
access ordinance, creek restoration and
Ralston Avenue street lighting, among others.
The council meets tonight and is set to
decide if any of the suspended projects should
be pursued and whether new recommended
projects coming out of the Green Advisory
Committee, Parks and Recreation, Public
Works and Finance commissions and
Community Development Department should
be pursued.
DATEBOOK
The City Council is being asked to rank 18
new projects in order of importance. Some of
the projects include playground improve-
ments at O’Donnell Park and Barrett
Community Center, evaluating the impact of
high-speed rail, regulating large family day
cares, exploring alternative sources of rev-
enue, evaluating the employee compensation
model, addressing the Holiday Tree and
replacing a bathroom at Alexander Park.
Last year, the council made renovations at
Emmett House a priority as well as updating
the city’s outdated sign ordinance and making
improvements to Davey Glen Park. A ribbon
cutting is in the planning stages for Emmett
House and the amended sign ordinance is also
set for approval soon by the council. Davey
Glen Park improvements has been identified
as the Parks and Recreation Commission’s top
priority as it is currently being renovated.
Public input will be solicited on the priori-
ties as the council is set to consider them at its
next three meetings.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
SCHOOLS
Continued from page 1
high school facilities based on historical
assessed property values. A drop in properties
changed the estimates, creating a $10.9 mil-
lion cash flow shortfall which increases to
$21.6 million when a $1.9 million lost grant
and $8.7 million in expected savings that
won’t occur are added to the equation, said
Elizabeth McManus, assistant superintendent
of business services. To meet the need, most
of the board agreed during a special study ses-
sion Monday night to a plan of using $10.5
million in revenue from other sources and
$11.1 million in cuts to make up the differ-
ence. A finalized version will go before the
board Feb. 24.
“A lot of districts are in [the position we’re
in] because we’re in a completely unique eco-
nomic time. This is a plague we’ve never seen
before,” said Trustee Peter Hanley. “People
are voting on the projects; the school is count-
ing on those projects. The community is
counting on those projects. Our commitment
is to get them done in the amount of money
approved for them.”
Even with cuts and shifting money around,
the district could increase the tax rate to finish
the projects down the road. Measure M was
approved at a rate of $16 per the $100,000
assessed value of a property, which could
increase to $21 — a move with which Hanley
and Trustee Dave Pine expressed a comfort
while board President Stephen Rogers took
issue.
LOCAL
Rogers was also hesitant to support using
$6 million in expected energy rebates from
installing solar panels for the capital improve-
ments. McManus explained the money was
never earmarked as it is one-time money and
the district was not sure when the funds would
be realized. Rogers would prefer the money
be put aside to help the district’s general fund
budget in tough economic times.
“I have great difficulty taking money from
general fund. Great facilities don’t make great
students. Great teachers make great students.
… I’m thinking we’re going to desperately
need it,” he said.
Instead, Rogers argued for delaying con-
struction.
Hanley argued the delay would increase
costs while creating a loss in momentum for
construction.
Trustee Linda Lees Dwyer argued the
money is created by construction and should
be invested back into it.
The cash shortfall is $10.9 million, this
takes into account $25 million in government
construction loans recently granted to the dis-
trict, said Tony Hsieh, a financial advisor from
Keygent. That number increases $1.9 million
because a grant for an Aragon science build-
ing fell through, said McManus. In January
2010, the board tweaked plans for Measure M
funds to include a $31.5 million solar project
to be placed at six campuses. That plan relied
on $8.8 million in savings from combining
projects. Some of those projects will now be
delayed, bringing the shortfall to $21.6 mil-
lion.
Allocating money from other funds — like
$1.8 million in Redevelopment Agency funds
and $900,000 in a settlement for investment
losses in the Lehman Brothers — make up the
revenue side of the plan. Cutting down furni-
ture and equipment, reducing the contingency
budget and delaying projects that can be fund-
ed by Measure O, a $186 million bond meas-
ure passed in November, create $11.1 million
in savings. There is also a $16 million contin-
gency plan to delay smaller projects, like
increased lighting and improvements to meet
requirements by the Americans with
Disabilities Act, said McManus.
Hanley argued for cutting more from the
contingency but plan to purchase furniture,
fixtures and equipment — a move he didn’t
understand.
“That gives me concerns. We have great
buildings; let’s not stick them with junk furni-
ture,” he said.
Pine agreed but was hesitant to decrease the
contingency fund. He did think the savings
could come from other areas.
Board Vice President Robert Griffin and
Lees Dwyer both wanted more information on
utilizing the former Crestmoor High School
site — the San Bruno school that now houses
Peninsula, possibly through a long-term lease
— to provide new revenue to help with these
kinds of problems.
Bond measures have caused a number of
challenges in the San Mateo Union High
School District.
Measure D, a $137.5 million bond measure
in 2000, wasn’t enough to cover projects list-
ed. As a result, district officials took out three
Tuesday • Feb. 8, 2011 27
different certificates of participation, funding
mechanisms which were cutting into the gen-
eral fund. In 2007, the district took an $80
million consolidation loan. The loan lowered
rates for three separate loans taken out to fur-
ther projects that could not be accomplished
with Measure D. Again, the loan was cutting
into the general fund. Currently, the debt sits
at $74 million. Measure O was passed in
November to retire this debt.
Between those two measures, Measure M
was passed.
Shortly after its approval, the board post-
poned using funds after controversy over the
finances — particularly in regards to a con-
tract with Skanska, a firm hired to oversee
construction — came to light. In April 2007,
the district cut ties with the company and
restarted the planning process. After an eight-
month hiatus, the board began hiring compa-
nies to begin construction.
In 2008, the district successfully petitioned
the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors
to amend the bond language to allow for both
25-year and 40-year bonds; previously the
district was limited to 25. The change extend-
ed taxpayers payments up to an additional 15
years — from 2037 to 2052 — but was
thought to allow the district to finish the orig-
inal renovation plans.
