City unveils RDA wish list
San Carlos joins other cities in safeguarding local money
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A week after San Carlos officials agreed
to consider tying up its redevelopment
funds rather than risk losing them to the
state, the city’s Community Development
Department is offering up a $19.2 million
wish list of projects and initiatives.
The City Council on Monday night will
consider agreements between the city and
Redevelopment Agency which it hopes will
stave off the governor’s plan to eliminate
redevelopment agencies and redirect the
funds back to the state.
Several other Peninsula cities have simi-
larly acted.
The council originally held off on action,

instead sending Brown a letter asking him
to reconsider. At a strategic retreat Friday,
the council changed its mind and agreed to
consider spending the funds.
On Thursday, Mark Sawicki, economic
development and housing manager, and
Community Development Director Al Savay
released details in advance of Monday’s
meeting.
The redevelopment agency has a current
balance of approximately $12 million and
projects in its capital improvement budget
will require more than $19 million, includ-
ing administrative costs.
The direct project costs include $11.39
million for the Holly Street/Highway 101

improve Wheeler Plaza; $680,000 to widen
Brittan Avenue; $650,000 for new branding;

Public give-and-take
Jerry Brown debates lawmakers in rare budget exchange
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — In an unprecedented
public give-and-take, Gov. Jerry Brown
appeared before a legislative committee
Thursday and engaged rank-and-file lawmak-
ers in a discussion about how to address
California’s $26.6 billion budget deficit.
The Democratic governor is trying to sell
lawmakers on his proposal for a June special
election that would allow voters to decide on
a five-year extension of increases to state
sales, income and vehicle taxes.
The hour-long hearing was remarkable for
the frankness of the exchanges between the
governor and lawmakers that gave the public a
wide-open look at what typically is a closed-
door process.
“I believe in this situation that a check-in
with the people is absolutely mandatory —
mandatory not just to say, do we extend taxes.
But it’s also to get people’s acceptance if
we’re going to have all these cuts,” Brown told
the joint committee formed to reconcile the
Assembly and Senate versions of Democratic
budget bills.
“Because if you’re going to have $25 billion
in cuts and you’re going to cut four or five
weeks of the school (year), then I think people
are going to be shocked if you didn’t ask their
permission,” the governor said.
He told Democrats they would have to
accept more spending cuts and advised
Republicans that authorizing a special elec-
tion is not the same as voting for tax increas-
es. Simply saying no to the vote is “not
American. It’s not acceptable and it’s not loyal
to California,” Brown said.
On Wednesday, 29 of the 42 Republicans in
the Legislature announced they had formed a
“Taxpayers Caucus” to oppose the special
election unless voters also are given a chance
to enact a tax cut of equal or larger value.

Commission:Freeze state workers pensions
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — A California watch-
dog agency on Thursday called on the gover-
nor and Legislature to freeze pension benefits
for current state and local government work-
ers and overhaul the existing system, as the
debate over retirement benefits for public
employees has exploded nationwide.
As the Little Hoover Commission unani-
mously approved its report, it also recom-
mended the state move from a defined bene-
fits plan to a hybrid model that would include
something similar to the 401(k) plans offered
to most private-sector employees.

Sheriff’s Office conducts
sex registrant checks
On Wednesday, 37 local law enforcement offi-
cers checked on 160 sex offenders to ensure they
were compliant with probation and parole
requirements and that they are living in their
registered locations.
The Sheriff’s Office did not release statistics
on how many of those offenders, if any, were out
of compliance. Those involved in the check
were submitted by local police agencies, the
county Probation Department and California
Adult Parole. Those same agencies along with
the Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Marshals Service
conducted the countywide check.
There were no arrests made and all of the reg-
istrants that were contacted were in compliance,
said Lt. Ray Lunny of the Sheriff’s Office.
Follow-up checks are planned on those regis-
trants who were not contacted and the names of
registrants known to have fled to other states
were given to the U.S. Marshals Service.

The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office has

Capurro, a Redwood City resident, was driv-
ing east on the highway when his Chevrolet
Blazer drifted into westbound traffic and struck
a big-rig just east of the Skylawn Memorial Park
cemetery at about 2:15 p.m., CHP Officer Art
Montiel said.
Capurro died as a medical helicopter was
preparing to airlift him to a hospital, Montiel
said. It has not yet clear what caused Capurro to
steer into oncoming traffic, according to the
CHP. The crash blocked traffic for about an hour
and a half.

$10K bicycle with community help
A San Mateo man was arrested Wednesday
for stealing a $10,000 bicycle from outside a 24

A 38-year-old San Mateo man had parked and
secured the custom road bicycle outside the fit-
ness club Monday and returned from his work-
out about an hour later and discovered it missing.
It was purchased on Craigslist the same day and
the purchaser realized it as more valuable than
what he paid for it. He contacted a local bicycle
shop and an employee there was familiar with it
since it was one of a kind, according to police.
The employee contacted police and the bicy-
cle was returned to its owner. Detective Chris
Egan was able to identify Terrel Medley, 35, of
San Mateo as the suspect. He was arrested and
booked into San Mateo County Jail on charges
of grand theft, sale of stolen goods and drugs,
according to police.

State Senate approves rules for renewable energy

By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — The state Senate
approved a law Thursday setting new rules for
how California utilities can meet the most
aggressive renewable energy standard in the
nation, giving them 10 years to get a third of
their power from wind, solar, geothermal and
other renewable sources.
California utilities already are required to
meet the 33 percent goal through a 2009 execu-
tive order by former Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger issued after he vetoed a bill
similar to the one passed Thursday.
The previous bill would have forced utilities
to get most of their renewable power from
California sources, a requirement
Schwarzenegger said was impractical given the
location of renewable sources and the flow of
energy through western power grids.
The new bill strips that requirement but estab-
lishes the renewable energy goal in state law,
rather than leaving implementation to state air

holes that would allow utilities to circumvent
clean-energy upgrades.
A landmark 2006 California law requires the
state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to
1990 levels by 2020. Citing statistics from the
California Public Utilities Commission,
Simitian has said the state already gets 18 per-
cent of its energy from renewable sources and is
on track to reach 21 percent by the end of this
year.
The bill approved Thursday is supported by a
variety of clean energy and environmental
groups, while the California Retailers
Association and Western States Petroleum
Association are among those opposed to it.
The Senate approved SB2X on a 26-11 vote.
It still needs approval from the Assembly and
Gov. Jerry Brown to take effect.
“The governor broadly supports codifying the
requirement that 33 percent of the state’s elec-
tricity be derived from renewable sources and
will closely consider any bill that reaches his
desk,” Brown spokesman Evan Westrup said in
an e-mail statement.

NTSB chief concerned about rash of pipeline cases

By Joan Lowy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A rash of pipeline acci-
dents across the country — including one in
San Bruno last September that killed eight
people — has raised safety concerns and
overburdened federal investigators, a top safe-
ty official said Thursday.
It’s too soon to say whether the five acci-
dents the board is investigating indicate wide-
spread safety problems in the pipeline indus-
try, but investigators are looking for recurring
problems, National Transportation Safety
Board Chairman Deborah Hersman said.
“This has been a particularly bad year for
pipeline accidents,” Hersman told reporters at
a briefing on a three-day hearing scheduled
for next week on the San Bruno accident.
“This is an opportunity to re-evaluate how

Philadelphia - because the current workload
has strained the agency’s manpower, Hersman
said. Instead, the board is keeping in touch
with state investigators probing the accidents
and may including their finding when devel-
oping safety recommendations, she said.
Steve Klejst, who heads the NTSB section
that investigates pipeline accidents, said he
has only four pipeline investigators in his
office. He said it has been a decade since the
board investigated a pipeline accident as seri-
ous as the San Bruno accident. A Pacific Gas
and Electric Co. transmission line ruptured
underneath a residential neighborhood. The
resulting explosion and fire left 55 homes
uninhabitable.
“In this accident in San Bruno you had a
number of people who were probably, you
know, at home sitting around the dinner table
or just arriving from their commute and they
could never have anticipated what happened
on that day,” Hersman said. “There are
pipelines that run through neighborhoods and
communities all over the country. We have an
opportunity and obligation to make sure they
are as safe as can be.”

Gay marriage stance

shifts for president
By Charles Babington
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — One way for
President Barack Obama to win the
future, it seems, is to have his admin-
istration stop defending a federal law
that bans recognition of same-sex
marriage.
Opinion polls show a steady rise in
Americans’ embrace of gay rights,
and young voters solidly back posi-
tions their grandparents opposed,
including gay marriage.
“Anybody under the age of 40
doesn’t care, or actively supports it,”
said Steve Elmendorf, a longtime
Democratic staffer and lobbyist.
The administration said Wednesday
it no longer would defend the consti-
tutionality of the 1996 federal law that
defines marriage as only between a
man and a woman. Attorney General
Eric Holder cited recent shifts in legal
thought, not public opinion, in
explaining the decision.
“Much of the legal landscape has
changed in the 15 years since
Congress passed” the Defense of
Marriage Act, Holder said. He noted
that the Supreme Court has ruled that
“I think it was

boneheaded political
move,and I think it

“I think it was an absolutely bone-

Five or so years ago, Obama’s deci-

Wednesday was comparatively sparse
and muted from mainstream GOP
groups and individuals. Most of the

states to deny recognition of same-
sex unions performed elsewhere.
Over the years, Obama has criti-
cized the federal law without fully
supporting gay marriage. White
House spokesman Jay Carney said
Wednesday that Obama was still
“grappling” with his view on the mat-
ter but had always personally
opposed the Defense of Marriage Act
as “unnecessary and unfair.”
Public opinion on gay rights has
shifted substantially in recent years.
An October poll by the Pew Research
Center found that 42 percent of adults
favored same-sex marriage, while 48
percent opposed. A year earlier, it was
37 percent in favor and 54 percent
opposed.
Majority Leader Eric Cantor says he
was “taken aback” by President
Barack Obama ordering his adminis-
tration to stop defending the constitu-
tionality of a federal law that bans
recognition of gay marriage.
The Virginia Republican said
Thursday that he’d never been around
when a president decided not to
defend a law on the books. He says
the U.S. Congress is mulling its
options on the 15-year-old Defense of
Marriage Act.
Cantor made his comments in
response to a question following a
speech at Harvard University.
Cantor also says the House budget
will include proposals on how to curb
spending on programs like Social
Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Judge in gay marriage case asks
Department of Justice for clarity
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The
Obama administration’s
announcement that it no longer
will defend a federal law that
bans recognition of gay marriage
has prompted a judge in a least
one pending case to seek clarifi-
cation.
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey
White has asked the Department
of Justice to explain by Monday
how it intends to fight a lawsuit by
a federal employee in San
Francisco who has sued over the
government’s refusal to authorize
health coverage for her wife.
During a nonjury trial in
December, a Justice Department
lawyer argued that the 1996
Defense of Marriage Act preclud-
ed the government from recogniz-
ing the marriages of same-sex
couples.
But on Wednesday, Attorney
General Eric Holder announced
that the Obama administration had
concluded the 1996 law was
unconstitutional.
White’s ruling in the case has
been expected to come any time.

A proper stance on same-sex marriage
M
uch has changed in the
past decade when it
comes to attitudes
regarding same-sex marriage. The
Supreme Court has ruled that crim-
inalizing homosexual conduct is
unconstitutional and Congress has
repealed the military’s “don’t ask,
don’t tell” policy which itself was a
pivotal point in our nation’s history.
Though that policy was seen as a
reflection itself of an aging attitude,
it was a key step in the military’s
understanding and acceptance of
homosexual service members when
it became policy in 1993.
In 2004, thousands of same-sex
couples wed in San Francisco after
then-mayor Gavin Newsom direct-
ed the city clerk to issue marriage
licenses to them. Licenses were
issued again in 2008 after a
California Supreme Court ruling
and ended the same year after the
passage of Proposition 8. The mat-
Redevelopment money
Editor,
I have been reading over the past
week that several cities are rushing
to approve redevelopment projects
before money related to such proj-
ects is taken away by the state. My
only concern is that the cites will
either have to find the extra money
or make cuts to complete these
projects. All cities seem to be say-
ing there is no money, if there is no
money there is literally no money,
and other programs should not be
cut to chase a few tens of millions
of dollars. It is like seeing a sale at

item and not having the money to
make the purchase, but doing it
anyway because it is a good sale.

tions for the pay and benefits of

retirement deals local police and

by the easy duty they have in most

able since the judicial system
should not overturn the rule of the
people. That is a dangerous prece-
dent.
Regardless of some attitudes and
certain procedures, same-sex mar-
riage will eventually be accepted
by our society and be made legal.
Of that, there is no doubt.
The Obama administration’s
announcement Wednesday of a
major policy reversal regarding
same-sex marriage is precisely the
appropriate step toward the recog-
nition of our society’s overall
changing attitudes and acceptance.
As more people get to know
same-sex couples in committed
relationships, they begin to see that
they too deserve the same rights as
everyone else when it comes to
their families. Right now, many
ly reveals material more suited to a
Jay Leno monologue than a justifi-
cation for early retirement with
“spiked” inflation-adjusted pen-
sions and gold-plated health care
insurance.
In the debate over public
employee compensation, we need
to begin differentiating between the
lucrative pay and benefits public
safety and management personnel
enjoy and the much less generous
compensation we give to teachers,
librarians, engineers, park person-
nel, office workers and others who
do as much or more for our citi-
zens. Lumping these folks with
public safety personnel is illogical
and not conducive to a fair resolu-

same-sex couples face difficulty in
estate planning, visitation rights
and financial situations because of
their relationship’s legal status.
Some may contend that Obama
is simply using the issue to shore
up support from a slipping base
that has long supported such a step.
If that is the case, so be it.
There are countless people in
committed same-sex relationships
who deserve the same protections,
rights and responsibilities as others
with the same type of commit-
ments. The Defense of Marriage
Act, passed 15 years ago, is no
longer applicable in today’s socie-
ty. Moving past the mandates of
this aging act is an eventuality that
is inescapable. Our nation has
reached a tipping point in which
moral disapproval of same-sex
relationships can no longer be
legally defended. The administra-
tion was right in announcing it will
no longer do so.
low local government officials
throughout California were “smart
enough” to gamble with the pub-
lic’s money and assets at the time
when investments and stock market
returns on investments were high
and they could use the investment
profits to pay for the generous pub-
lic pension benefits cities promised
employees. Now that the good
times are over, Mullin says those
same city councilmembers and
executive city staff “aren’t smart
enough” to figure out how to get
themselves out of this big mess.
That’s like Mullin getting pulled
over for speeding and just as the
cop walks up to Mullin’s driver
side window, Mullin blurts out, “I
was smart enough to drive my car
faster than the speed limit, I was
smart enough to gamble that there
weren’t any cops around to catch
me, but since you caught me, it’s
not my fault and let me tell you
why.”

and help fix the public pension
problem that we all helped create
by forming a state government
commission to deal with the prob-

Gun ownership
and the Swiss
— Chattanooga (Tenn.) Free Press
W
hen you think of the
nation of Switzerland,
you may think of its
Alpine peaks, its high-quality
watches or its renowned chocolate.
You may also think of the peaceful
nature of its people. Not only have
the Swiss long stayed out of the
wars that raged around them, but
the rate of violent crime is low.
One other thing for which
Switzerland is famous is its high
rate of private gun ownership. By
one estimate, there are 46 guns for
every 100 people in Switzerland...
But the rate of murder involving
guns is low in Switzerland. In
2009, for instance, only one murder
per 300,000 people was committed
with a gun.
That’s a pretty strong indication
that gun rights are not the “cause”
of violent crime. In fact, private
gun ownership heads off many vio-
lent crimes, because criminals can-
not be sure which of their potential
victims might be armed.
It’s not surprising, therefore, that
the peaceful Swiss recently voted
strongly against tight gun-control
proposals. That makes sense. Law-
abiding Swiss will retain their
broad right to possess firearms,
rather than leave guns mainly in the
hands of criminals who do not
mind breaking gun-control laws.
Not everyone desires to have a
gun. Nor is everyone competent or
responsible enough to own a
firearm. But whether in
Switzerland or the United States,
responsible, legal gun ownership is
not the cause of violent crime.

al second-class status to the

There’s the excitement — just
think of the advances in speech ther-
apy or speech recognition for people
with disabilities. And the fear —
will it take away jobs? And if so,
who is going to pay the mortgage?
That Watson is the eventual result

Humans can build fast computers.

NEW YORK — Stocks stabilized
Thursday after two days of sharp
declines brought on by Libya’s deepen-

industrial average recouped much of its
losses after oil prices eased in the after-

Broader market indicators were

analysts had feared.
Oil fell 82 cents to settle at $97.28 a

President Barack Obama said Thursday
he’s confident that markets will be able to

price of oil will stabilize.
Obama made the brief comments dur-

business and labor leaders he’s appointed
to work on economic competitiveness. He
said that energy costs are generally a
source of uncertainty for businesses. But
as for the spike in oil prices, the president
said: “We think we’ll be able to ride out
the situation in Libya and it will stabilize.”

and spread to other countries in the

Higher oil prices can also slow the U.S.
economy by increasing transportation
costs.
Reports of ample oil inventories
“calmed some of the short-term fears in
the market,” said Bruce McCain, chief
investment strategist at Key Private

NEW YORK — Gap Inc. said
Thursday that rising sales abroad, online
and at its higher-price Banana Republic
and lower-price Old Navy chains helped
its fourth-quarter net income rise nearly
4 percent and made up for the Gap
brand’s weakness.
The company also announced that it
plans to buy back $2 billion in shares, on
top of recent repurchases totaling $2.6
billion, and it will raise its dividend by 5
cents to 45 cents for the year.
And it issued an annual profit forecast
that fell short of what Wall Street was
expecting; it said its operating profits
would be squeezed as it grapples with
soaring costs of raw materials, particu-
larly cotton.
The retailer, based in San Francisco,
reported quarterly net income of $365
million, or 60 cents per share. That com-
operations are still losing money.
Still, the automaker’s $4.7 billion
profit for 2010 was impressive, especial-
ly considering where it has been. The
company lost more than $80 billion in

Sophomore lifts El Camino to victory

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
At about 5-foot-5, El Camino
sophomore point guard Elijah White
is more often than not the smallest
player on the court.
But nobody was bigger than White
in the fourth quarter of the Colts’
Central Coast Section Division II sec-
ond-round game against visiting
Westmont of Campbell. White scored
12 of his game-high 19 points in the
fourth quarter as the Colts outlasted
the Warriors, 48-45.
The seventh-seeded Colts advance
to Saturday’s quarterfinal matchup
against No. 2 St. Francis at 11:45
a.m. at Foothill College.
White did not play basketball last
season as a freshman, so the fact he
started on the varsity team as a soph-
omore tells a lot about his ability.
“He’s still learning,” said El
Camino coach Anthony Khoo. “He’s
a young kid.”
After scoring just four points in the
first half and three more in the third
quarter, White exploded in the fourth
quarter, maintaining the Colts’ lead
every time 10th-seeded Westmont
tried to regain the lead.
The Warriors found that tough
going. Westmont scored the first five
points of the game, but El Camino’s
Brandon Halal drained a 3-pointer to
tie the game at 7 and Anthony Knight
had a steal and a layup to put the
Colts up for good — 9-7.
In the fourth quarter, White took
over. He drained a 3-pointer to break
a 34-34 tie and a minute later, his sec-
ond 3 of the quarter put the Colts up
four, 40-36, with 5:10 left to play in
the game.
All told, White scored 12 of the
Colts’ 14 fourth-quarter points. But
no bucket was bigger than Justin
Tuason’s putback with 23 seconds to
play, giving the Colts a 46-43 lead.

Raiders use ‘Lefty’joins Tiger on sidelines
franchise tag
on Wimbley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — The Oakland Raiders used the
franchise tag Thursday to keep linebacker
Kamerion Wimbley under contract for 2012 and
reportedly reached a long-term deal with corner-
back Stanford Routt.
The Raiders originally hoped to use a $3.5 mil-
lion buyback option to keep Wimbley under con-
tract for next season for just over $4 million.
But Wimbley’s agent, Joe Linta, said the NFL
determined that deal violated rules prohibiting
base salaries rising more than 30 percent in a year.
That led to the Raiders decision to use the fran-
chise tag, which is projected to be worth about $10
million.
“Kamerion is a great
young talent and he and the
Raiders are excited about
him continuing his career as
a member of the Silver and
Black,” coach Hue Jackson
said.
The move was first report-
ed by Fox Sports.
Wimbley led Oakland
Kamerion with nine sacks last season
Wimbley after coming over from
Cleveland in a trade for a
third-round pick. Keeping him was a key priority
this offseason for owner Al Davis.
“We look forward to working with Mr. Davis on
a long-term deal,” Linta said.
The two sides can negotiate until the current col-
lective bargaining agreement expires, which is cur-
rently scheduled for March 3. The non-exclusive
tag means Wimbley can negotiate with other
teams. But any team signing him would have to
give the Raiders two first-round draft picks as
compensation.
The Raiders apparently have already reached a
three-year contract with Routt, who has agreed to
a $31.5 million deal, according to NFL.com and
ESPN, rather than test the free agent market.
The Raiders would not confirm the deal but
made clear their desire to retain Routt.
“Stanford Routt is in his prime,” senior execu-
tive John Herrera said. “He’s a young, 27-year-old
veteran, who already has six years of experience in
the league. He’s one of the fastest cornerbacks in
the league and his best years are still ahead of
him.”
After slipping behind Chris Johnson on
Oakland’s depth chart in recent years, Routt had
his best season in 2010. According to STATS LLC,
opponents completed just 39.4 percent of passes
against Routt — one of the best marks in the
league despite being a frequent target as teams
stayed away from Nnamdi Asomugha’s side. He
improved markedly from 2009, when he allowed
opponents to complete 65.9 percent of their pass-
es.
While Asomugha was targeted on just 33 pass
attempts this season, allowing 13 completions for
205 yards and no touchdowns, Routt was targeted
99 times. The completion percentage against him
was the lowest in the league of any player targeted
at least 60 times and was comparable to the num-
bers put up by the more heralded Asomugha (39.4
percent) and Darrelle Revis (33.9 percent).

A’s Harden back to feeling pain-free after injury NFL

PHOENIX — Rich Harden is pain-free and
ready to resume his spring training regimen.
As soon as Oakland’s training staff gives him
the OK, that is.
The Athletics right-hander was shut down

workouts after experiencing stiffness in the lat

to throw Feb. 15. Harden still hopes to com-

“It’s coming along,” Harden said Thursday.
“I want to get out there, but it’s on the train-

Harden hopes he will be able to throw again

Texas Rangers last season, when he struggled
with injuries and control. After beginning the
from the title team, minus World Series MVP
Edgar Renteria and emotional utility infielder
Juan Uribe, who departed for the rival
Dodgers.
“It’s huge any time that you can keep for the
most part the whole team together,” Ross said.
“Rarely do you ever see a team be able to keep
all 25 guys. Our organization and front office
has done a great job of trying to keep every-
body.”
The 30-year-old Ross showed in a hurry he
was worth any apparent risk general manager
Brian Sabean took in acquiring him at such a
late stage.
Not even a regular until the NL division
series against Atlanta, he hit three of his five
postseason home runs during the NL champi-
onship series against Philadelphia. The Giants
— in the playoffs for the first time since ’03
— won in six games against the favored
Phillies and Ross received MVP honors. He
season as the Rangers’ No. 2 starter, he
walked 62 batters in 92 innings.
Harden spent two stints on the disabled list
in 2010, first from June 12-July 30 with a
strained left gluteal muscle and later with
right shoulder tendinitis. Texas released him
after the regular season.
Harden went 1-2 with a 2.45 ERA in only
25 2-3 innings in 2007 because of an inflamed
right shoulder, and didn’t pitch after July 7
that year. He threw two simulated games late
in the season with the hopes of making two
final starts, but ultimately decided it wasn’t
worth risking further injury.
He was 4-0 in nine games in 2006, spending
time on the disabled list with a strained back
and then a strained elbow ligament.
Harden understands he has to be a little bit
patient — even though he’s determined to get
going and return to the form he showed in
2008, when he went a combined 10-2 with a
2.07 ERA in 25 starts between Oakland and
the Cubs. Chicago acquired him on July 8,
2008, in a trade with the A’s.
drove in 10 runs during the playoffs, two in
San Francisco’s five-game World Series win
over the Texas Rangers.
And Ross’ showing late in the season
earned him a $6.3 million, one-year contract
last month, a hefty increase from the $4.45
million salary he earned in 2010.
How does he possibly follow that up with
an encore this year?
“For me, I go out and play the game how
I’ve always played the game: with my heart,”
he said. “Let all the other stuff take care of
itself.”
Ross doesn’t think about it all too much —
even with the constant attention that comes
his way. He has been plenty busy getting
ready for the exhibition games to begin.
Ross has yet to pick his walk-up tune for
2011. So, that’s something else to add to his
to-do list before opening day. It will probably

mediator George Cohen issued a statement saying
“some progress was made, but very strong differ-
ences remain” between the sides after seven con-
secutive days of talks in Washington.
It’s the first bit of concrete news to emerge from
the mediation.
Members of the NFL management council were
scheduled to update head coaches and general
managers about negotiations later Thursday in
Indianapolis.
“We can’t comment,” new Denver Broncos
coach John Fox said. “That’s the league, they’ll
take care of it. We have a meeting tonight to get up
to speed, but that’s really all I can mention now.”
But the more immediate concern for Kennan,
Fox and the other coaches is surviving the possible
financial fallout of a lockout.
“If there is a lockout starting March 4, coaches
will take a pay cut of varying degrees,” Kennan
said. “Players will be affected because they’ll loses
bonuses, but they don’t lose salary in March, April
or May. The coaches will lose pay.”
by the country kid who for years as a boy
wanted to become a rodeo clown.
Instead, he picked baseball, and he’s so
happy he took that path.
“He’s one of those guys who seems like
he’s always having a good day, and it shows,”
Bochy said. “What he did last year and his
contribution during the World Series, it gave
him a sense of belonging right away.”
Notes: Opening day starter Tim Lincecum,
the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner,
will take the ball for the team’s exhibition
opener Friday. ... 1B Aubrey Huff will sit out
the exhibition contest with a minor left wrist
injury. Andres Torres is slated to DH, with
Aaron Rowand in CF. Mark DeRosa — who
missed most of last season with a wrist prob-
lem that required surgery — will play 2B in
place of Freddy Sanchez, who is recovering
from an arthroscopic procedure on his non-
throwing left shoulder.

COLTS
Continued from page 11
before the buzzer sounded, catching a
small piece of the rim. The shot clock
buzzer went off, but when everybody
else stopped playing, Tuason snuck in,
grabbed the rebound and hit the layup.
“That was a big finish for him,”
Khoo said of Tuason’s layup. “That
was definitely clutch.”
Westmont responded with a bucket
from 6-foot-8 center Nick Wahl, but
White came back by nailing two free
throws with 7.5 seconds left. A
Westmont desperation 3-pointer was
wide of the mark and when El
Camino grabbed the loose ball, the
game was over.
The Colts had their hands full deal-
ing with Wahl and 6-foot-2, 215-
pound power forward Alex Kamara.
While the two combined for 28
points, most of their damage came in
the second half. In the first half, El
Camino’s swarming, full-court pres-
sure defense resulted in a number of
steals for the Colts and turnovers for
the Warriors. In the second quarter
alone, El Camino came up with 10
steals. The Colts came up empty on
half of those scoring chances, but it
prevented Westmont from scoring as
well.
When the Warriors were successful
in setting up their half-court offense,
the Colts did an excellent job of get-
ting in the passing lanes to knock
Westmont passes away, or they col-
lapsed on Wahl, forcing him into a
number of turnovers. Richard
Mathiesen and Justin Eclavea were

tasked with keeping Wahl quiet, and
they did an admirable job, considering
Mathiesen was giving up five inches
in height and Eclavea even more.
“[Defense] gets lost (in the stats),”
Khoo said.
The Colts also did a nice job of
attacking the rim — and Wahl — in
the first half. In the second half, it
almost appeared the Colts were think-

ing too much, knowing they should
not be having the kind of success
against a 6-8 player they were having.
As a result, El Camino got a little
more passive offensively, settling for a
lot more jumpers.
“We were really juiced at the begin-
ning of the game,” Khoo said. “I think
the guys got a little tentative (in the
second half).”
MILLS
Continued from page 11
Despite that, and because
Burlingame simply couldn’t muster
any offensive consistency, the
Vikings took a 23-15 lead into half-
time.
“Finishing was really important to
us,” Matsu said after the game. And
it was the message he preached to
his team during an early timeout in
the third quarter. “We were really
lucky we did that,” he said.
“It was very important (not to
overlook Burlingame),” Chierici
said. “We play one game at time.
This game, we had to be prepared.
We knew Burlingame was going to
put up a good fight.”
Mills’ second-half struggles aren’t
a mystery and it was evident the
Panthers were looking to capitalize
on that reputation. After Mills
scored the first four points to
increase the lead, Burlingame
turned it up defensively, pressing
the Vikings and turning a handful of
turnovers into transition buckets on
the other end. Mills’ 27-15 lead was
now 27-26 with 4:18 left to play in
the third quarter.
“Their defensive pressure took us
out of our offensive sets,” said
Burlingame coach Marvin Lui
about his team’s early struggles.
“We did a great job at half-time and
came out strong and took it to them.
It’s just tough because we exerted
all of our energy on the defensive
end.”
Instead of crumbling this time,
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Mills responded after calling a time-
out. They ended the third quarter on
a 7-0 run of their own to take a 10-
point lead into the final period.
Burlingame’s last stand came in
the first part of the fourth quarter.
Down 10, they forced Mills into
pressure situations with the basket-
ball and turned turnovers into buck-
ets — the deficit was only four
points with 3:34 left to play.
But Mills kept their composure
and Del Bianco’s 3-pointer with
1:52 left in the game was the dagger
— the lead was back to seven and as
time ticked off the clock, the
Panthers were forced to foul the rest
of the way.
Burlingame’s Kyla Montgomery
was strong on the glass the entire
night. She finished with 11 points
and 13 rebounds. Mills had three
players in double figures. Del
Bianco finished with 15 points,
Kelly Chin had 11 and Chierici tal-
lied 15 in her final game at the Mills
high school gymnasium.
“It was a nice win,” Chierici said.
“We had to put it together. We had to
get this victory because we want to
do well on Saturday (against Terra
Nova). We really want to beat them.
They’re a really good team. They
have great athletes. We just have to
break it down and get that win.”

Fun-to-drive Volvo grabs attention
By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Volvo’s 2011 S60 T6 compact car is not
cheap, and it’s not the first or second car that
shoppers think of when looking for a fun-to-
drive sedan.
But this five-seater has sleeker styling than
any recent Volvos, moves forcefully with
zippy turbo engine power, has Volvo’s well-
known comfortable seats and can be loaded
with a raft of safety equipment — some not
found on other vehicles.
An example: The S60 with optional tech-
nology package includes a world-first pedes-
trian detection system with full auto brake. It
can sense when a pedestrian comes in front of
the car and, if the driver does not react, can
apply the brakes fully to stop the car.
Cost for the tech package, however, is
$2,100 on top of the 2011 S60 T6 AWD’s
starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price,
including destination charge, of $38,575.
The price includes a 300-horsepower, tur-
bocharged, inline, six-cylinder engine, six-
speed Geartronic automatic transmission and
standard all-wheel drive.
Competitors include the better known all-
wheel drive, 2011 BMW 328i xDrive sedan
with 230-horsepower, naturally aspirated, six-
cylinder engine and manual transmission with
starting price of $36,525. Also, the all-wheel
drive, 2011 Audi S4 with 333-horsepower, 3-
liter, supercharged V-6 and a retail starting
price of $47,975 with manual transmission is
in this segment. Both BMW and Audi models
also are available with automatic transmis-
sions.
Many shoppers today have forgotten about
Volvo since the company and its cars were jet-
tisoned by Ford Motor Co. and sold to the
Chinese carmaker Zhejiang Geely Holding
Group for $1.8 billion last year. The reason: In
the transition, Volvo advertising in the United
States has been sparse.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
But Geely took pains last year to emphasize
Volvo will retain its Swedish headquarters and
European manufacturing facilities that include
a factory in Belgium where the S60 T6 AWD
is built. And there was nothing on the test car
with the Geely name or reference to China.
Even the window sticker that detailed the
largest sources of parts on the car listed Great
Britain as the big source of engine parts,
Sweden and Germany as the major sources of
other car parts and the transmission was from
Japan.
The test car also had typical Volvo charac-
teristics, including the diagonal Volvo badging
across the grille, impressive Volvo turbo
engine and Volvo’s “floating” center stack and
console area. This area looks like it’s scarcely
attached to the dashboard because it’s styled
to flow outward from the dash and into the
center console as one single piece. It’s a bit
overdone, in my view, but it’s distinctive, for
sure.
Heating and ventilation controls are the
same as Volvo used before and it takes a bit of
practice to learn them. Same for the confusing
radio controls.

Nabong and Reddy did not know each
other prior to their fatal meeting. Reddy
thought he was selling a pound of mari-
juana to his friend, Chand. Instead,
Chand plotted to rob him and pulled in
others to pull the heist so he would be
above suspicion. One of those others
drew in Nabong, who Giannini said had
a gun and made side plans with another
conspirator, John La Pierre, to rob
Chand of his money and expensive ear-
rings.
When Nabong pulled a gun and told
Reddy he was taking the marijuana, the
latter reportedly told him he’d have to
shoot him instead. Nabong shot him
once and dumped the dying man on the
ground.
But Boyarsky told jurors there was no
proof who fired the weapon, implying
instead that La Pierre — who has since
been killed himself — was the one with
a gun and robbery history. Giannini
introduced a series of text messages
from road bumps but didn’t feel fatigued
or cranky as they do in some other cars
where they feel the road intimately
beneath them. Front and rear leg- and
headroom are on par with many other
compact cars.
Fuel economy is poor, though, in this
Volvo with a federal government rating
of 18 miles per gallon in city driving and
26 mpg on the highway. I wound up with
just over 20 mpg in combined city/high-
way travel. Note that the 2011 Ford
Edge crossover sport utility vehicle has
the same 18/25-mpg rating from the fed-
eral government that this Volvo has.
It’s true the S60 T6’s rating is better
than the fuel rating for the BMW 328i

The main issue I had with this Volvo is
how would a consumer looking for a
fun-to-drive sedan with a relatively high
price pass over a BMW badge or an
Audi to get this turbo S60. The Volvo
badge just doesn’t have the same
panache.
There have been two safety recalls of
the 2011 S60 sedan. One had dealers
update engine control software because
it could be too sensitive and cause the
car to stall, creating a risk of a crash. The
second safety recall, announced five
days later last November, was for dealers
to check that front seats did not move
forward on their rails too close to frontal
air bags.
Temperatures will become progres-
sively colder throughout the weekend,
potentially setting records on Sunday
morning, Bell said. “ It is unusually late
in the year for us to be experiencing this
kind of weather,” Bell said. “Typically,
we see these kinds of cold fronts in late
December.”
In response to the uncharacteristically
low temperatures, a freeze watch will go
into effect for North Bay valleys on
Friday night through Saturday morning.
Bell advised residents to insulate any
pipes exposed to the elements, as they
run the risk of bursting as the water
freezes.

Toyota recalling
2.17M vehicles
By Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Toyota Motor Corp. recalled 2.17 million
vehicles in the United States on Thursday to address accelerator
pedals that could become entrapped in floor mats or jammed in
driver’s side carpeting, prompting federal regulators to close its
investigation into the embattled automaker.
The Transportation Department said it had reviewed more
than 400,000 pages of Toyota documents to determine whether
the scope of the company’s recalls for pedal entrapment was
sufficient.
“As a result of the agency’s review, (the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration) asked Toyota to recall these addi-
tional vehicles, and now that the company has done so, our
investigation is closed,” said NHTSA administrator David
Strickland.
Toyota has now recalled more than 14 million vehicles glob-
ally to fix gas pedals and other safety problems since 2009. The
company has received intense scrutiny from the government
since August 2009, when four people were killed in a high-
speed crash involving a Lexus near San Diego.
U.S. regulators largely cleared the company earlier this
month, saying that electronic flaws were not to blame for reports
of sudden, unintended acceleration that led to hundreds of com-
plaints. Transportation officials tied the problems to mechanical
defects dealt with in recalls and “pedal misapplication,” in
which the driver stepped on the accelerator instead of the
brakes. The company has, however, paid the U.S. government a
record $48.8 million in fines for its handling of three recalls.
The world’s No. 1 automaker has tried to move beyond the
recalls, vowing to heed customer complaints and upgrade its
safety technology. The company has installed on new vehicles
brake override systems, which automatically cut the throttle
when the brake and gas pedals are applied simultaneously, and
created engineering teams to examine vehicles that are the sub-
ject of consumer complaints.
In its latest safety action, Toyota said more than half of the
vehicles under recall were being added to a massive 2009 recall
that fixed gas pedals getting trapped in the floor mat.
The Japanese automaker said it would add three models to the
2009 pedal entrapment recall: about 600,000 4Runner SUVs
from the 2003-2009 model years; 761,000 RAV4 compact
SUVs from the 2006-2010 model years; and 17,000 Lexus LX
570s from the 2008-2011 model years.
Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons said the additional pedal
entrapment recalls were “based on our continued constructive
dialogue with NHTSA. While our actions up to now have led to
a substantial reduction in reports of acceleration concerns, we
mutually agreed that Toyota would take these additional steps to
help ensure that acceleration concerns are further reduced.”

SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
When a horse is running or trotting,
do all four hooves ever leave the
ground at the same time? Former
Governor of California Leland
Stanford thought they did, and in 1872,
to settle a bet with some of his friends,
he paid the already well-known land-
scape photographer Eadweard
Muybridge $25,000 to come up with
proof positive. Because of the way
Muybridge eventually found the truth,
he is now best known for his photo-
graphic locomotion studies, most
famously Horse in Motion, using mul-
tiple cameras to capture consecutive
images which, when played in succes-
sion, gave the illusion of a moving pic-
ture.
Helios: Eadweard Muybridge in a
Time of Change, at the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art, showcases the
first-ever retrospective examining all
aspects of Muybridge’s pioneering
photography, bringing together more
than 300 objects created between 1857
and 1893, including Muybridge’s only
surviving zoopraxiscope—an apparatus
he designed in 1879 to project motion
pictures. His projected animations,
which can be seen on monitors in
SFMOMA’s galleries, inspired the
early development of cinema, and his
revolutionary techniques produced
timeless images that have profoundly
influenced generations of photogra-
phers, filmmakers and visual artists.
And what about Governor Stanford’s
belief that the hooves all leave the
ground? He was right ... they do. Take a
look at what Muybridge

Sheen back to ‘Two and a Half Men’ next week
LOS ANGELES — Charlie Sheen is returning to work, put-
ting the top-rated TV comedy “Two and a Half Men” back into
production.
Spokesman Stan Rosenfield said Sheen
plans to be on the set Tuesday. Production
will begin the day before, with taping set to
resume March 4, series producer Warner
Bros. Television said Thursday.
Four episodes are expected to be com-
pleted for this season, the studio said. That
would leave the series four short of the 24
episodes that were planned.

The CBS comedy went on hiatus last
month after Sheen sought rehab for undisclosed reasons after
a recent tumultuous period in his checkered life, including
three hospitalizations in three months.
John Legend:Take my tax cut. Please.
WASHINGTON — Singer John Legend was in Washington
to sing at the White House on Thursday but he had a few
choice words for the politicians in town, too.
Legend told reporters before an evening concert celebrating
Motown’s music that too often the arts are the first thing to go
when budgets need to be cut. “People fought to give me — a
millionaire — a tax cut this year,” he said. “I didn’t need it.
And all the other millionaires didn’t need it either.”
The singer said he’d benefited from cultural organizations
such as community choirs and arts councils in earlier years,
which often suffer when budgets get trimmed.
Judge grants Sharon Stone restraining order
LOS ANGELES — Sharon Stone obtained a restraining
order Thursday against a man who Los Angeles police say was
found in her home earlier this month, claiming the home was
given to him by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

filings as delusional and possibly schizophrenic, was ordered
to stay 100 yards away from Stone’s house and her three chil-
dren. The actress’ filings state Gooden was found trespassing

FIELD
Continued from page 1
as a result of the City Council’s decision.”
A five-page rejection letter was e-mailed and
mailed to the City Council Wednesday.
Mayor Coralin Feierbach was disappointed
about the decision because of the work city staff
put into the CUP.
“The city has always regarded NDNU as an
asset and a valuable resource. So the latest deci-
sion on their part will not help their relationship
with the affected neighbors but also could affect
future relationship of the city with NDNU,”
Feierbach said in a prepared statement.
As a result, the school will operate the field
under the 2005 CUP to which it sought amend-
ments based on vagueness in the document that
included the term “dusk” to describe when the
field should be closed, for instance.
“I hope NDNU, by turning back the clock to
a previous 2005 CUP, will comply with the
2005 CUP regulations. We really don’t have the
resources to continue taking complaints from
the neighbors over an extended period of time,”
Feierbach wrote.
The 2005 CUP also did not allow the univer-
sity to open the field up to youth sports groups
in Belmont. However, Greig enthusiastically
called for the city to issue special permits to
allow the youth sports groups access.
“There is no reason why Belmont’s children
should be victimized by city politics,” said
Greig, who added access for young athletes is
the one thing on which all sides agree.
Feierbach agreed but was unsure if such a
change would require a new CUP.
“I certainly would like the children to be able
to play,” she said.
If changes were made, it could be assumed
the field would be made available to the
Belmont United Soccer Club and the Belmont-
Redwood Shores American Youth Soccer
Organization, which were granted access under
the now void January CUP.

approved by state chief justice. A judge will be
assigned if the recommendation is approved. At
this point, the consolidation is only for the pre-
trial discussions. Cases settled before a trial,
PG&E attorney Gayle Gough explained, will
not need to be part of any trial proceedings.
There are 64 cases against PG&E filed in San
Mateo and San Francisco counties for damages
and one case from a shareholder, Saul Wollman.
In a 48-page document, Wollman lays out
numerous complaints naming current and for-
mer PG&E officials. Wollman calls for each to
be held responsible for their actions which, the
claim says, led to the Sept. 9 explosion.
Wollman also wants those individuals to repay
PG&E for the costs they caused.
James Lynch, representing PG&E in
Wollman’s case, requested this case be heard
separately because it is not from someone who
was directly affected by the explosion. In addi-
tion, damages would not be determined until
after other cases were heard. Forcum comment-
ed that it was a good argument, but he felt it
strengthened the case for all cases to be handled
by one judge.
The lawsuits represent many more individuals
featuring stories of those affected by the 100-
PROBE
Continued from page 1
The formal investigation into whether penal-
ties are warranted stems from a National
Transportation Safety Board report in January
that found PG&E may have kept inadequate
safety records prior to the September blast.
“The investigation obviously has been ongo-
ing since the date of the incident, but this for-
mal. proceeding will ... assess PG&E’s compli-
ance with the law,” Commissioner Mike Florio
said. PG&E spokesman Joe Molica said the
utility was taking the issue seriously and exam-
ining records company-wide.
“We have been undertaking an intensive
review of our pipeline records, scrutinizing and
verifying thousands of documents to confirm
the quality of our data,” Molica said.
The process of considering new regulations
in the aftermath of the explosion would include
a series of public hearings set to begin April 5
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Daren Stewart, assistant regional commis-
sioner for the Belmont/Redwood Shores AYSO,
said he was not surprised the university decided
to not accept the amended CUP and to continue
with the original version.
“It is amazing to me though that the city and
specifically a small handful of neighbors contin-
ue to treat the university so poorly. I don't under-
stand why they want to continually put up barri-
ers to what could be a fantastic resource for our
entire community. This in general goes well
beyond the playing field at hand,” Stewart said.
Stewart went on to say the youth soccer pro-
gram formed a relationship with the NDNU
soccer director and student athletes over four
year ago.
“They continue to help our program by pro-
viding direction to our volunteer coaches and
being role models to our youth players. We con-
tinue to help them out by publicizing their game
schedules and encouraging our participants to
go and watch some extremely competitive and
outstanding soccer matches. Any use of their
field for the kids of our community in terms of
a soccer clinic, or use for games by the older
kids would of course be greatly appreciated,”
Stewart said.
The council first took up the appeal of the
approved Planning Commission CUP Oct. 26
after Margaret and Ray Davis, representing the
group Belmont Residents for a Tranquil
Community, submitted an appeal.
Evelyn Seely, who lives on Chula Vista Drive
in Belmont, was surprised by NDNU’s decision.
Seely had wanted local children to have access
to the fields, which the January CUP would
have allowed, but remains concerned.
“I’d be delighted if something could be done
about the noise,” she said.
In the meantime, the city is searching for a
firm to design new synthetic turf field and light-
ing system at the Belmont Sports Complex off
Ralston Avenue and Highway 101, a move that
could eliminate the city’s need to use the college
field. The $2.5 million project will be designed
to include up to three soccer fields, improve-
ments to the softball and baseball fields, as well
as energy efficient fixtures and lights.
foot fireball. All are asking for funds to cover
costs of medical bills and rebuilding as well as
emotional distress. As a result of the explosion
and fire, 38 homes were destroyed, 62 were
damaged, eight people were killed and numer-
ous others were injured.
Pages of lawsuits share harsh memories and
experiences from the event.
Susan Bullis, for example, was not home at
1690 Claremont Drive on the evening of Sept. 9.
But her husband, 60-year-old nurse Gregory;
their child, 17-year-old William; and her moth-
er-in-law, 82-year-old Lavonne Bullis; were get-
ting ready to eat dinner when an explosion took
place outside, consuming the home and her
three loved ones within. Susan Bullis is suing
not just for the lost possessions, but also the loss
of her family.
Samantha Falla also wasn’t home. The 15-
year-old and her mom were at a relatives’ house
at 2791 Concord Ave. Sept. 9. Both suffered
burns. Samantha had second- and third-degree
burns while her mom, Ana, suffered second-
degree burns and a fractured right arm which
required surgery.
Many people were at home watching the foot-
ball game. Everyone was caught off guard and
many lost their possessions.
The National Transportation Safety Board is
in the midst of an investigation into the incident
and hearing will start in Washington, D.C. next
week.
in San Bruno, the suburb south of San
Francisco where a massive fireball killed eight
people and destroyed dozens of homes.
One of the proposed regulations would direct
utilities to report when pressure on a line
exceeds the legal limit.
San Francisco-based PG&E has acknowl-
edged occasional increases in pressure
occurred on the 30-inch natural gas transmis-
sion line that exploded. The company has said
the fluctuations were necessary to continue
operation of the pipeline.
Investigators say the blast originated at a
poorly installed weld on the seam of the 54-
year-old pipe. Pipeline safety experts have
questioned whether pressure spikes may have
weakened the line. Consumer advocates
praised the planned investigation into the com-
pany’s record-keeping.
“Utility companies must put safety first,” said
Mark Toney, executive director of The Utility
Reform Network. “What we learned from the
San Bruno explosion is that our lives are liter-
ally in PG&E’s hands.”

Friday, Feb. 25, 2011
Although you might lose a good friend to life’s changes, you
are likely to make a new one who will help fill the void. It will
be another wonderful pal who will be there for you when the
chips are down.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- No matter how much good
planning you do, you still need to be prepared for the unex-
pected, because it is likely to happen. Be ready to roll with
the punches and no one will know there were any.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Regardless of the resistance
you might encounter, keep plugging forward on your dreams.
However, heed warning: Do not deliberately provoke conflict
with others in doing so.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Trust your past experiences
to guide you instead of trusting the advice being offered by
someone who hasn’t done what you’ve accomplished, no
matter how smart this person might be.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The accomplishments you
are able to achieve will have to be reward enough for you,
because there is a chance the compensation that was prom-
ised might be a little slow in coming.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone for whom you’ve
done much in the past might promise a lot, but be slow to
deliver. You’d be smart not to expect too much from those
who never have produced.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Go after those things you know
to have huge reward potential, but don’t allow anyone who
can’t carry his/her own weight to tag along. Someone of this
ilk may think s/he deserves a cut.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Being with friends will prove
to be extremely fun and rewarding, with one exception.
Someone who isn’t part of the group could disrupt things if
you allow him/her to do so.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You are smart to get all your
chores out of the way as early as possible if you have plans
to go out with friends later on. You may need a little time to
yourself between activities to recharge yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- The good work you
do will be handsomely rewarded, but take care that in your
celebration for the huge compensation you don’t blow a wad
on something foolish.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your will to win makes
you try harder than what’s possible for most people, so it is
no surprise for you to be sought after to be part of a team.
Join in, but don’t think of yourself as being a hotshot.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- There are few people
who are as self-reliant as you, so don’t think this is true for
Previous
everybody. Some people need guidance and help and will do
a good job for you if you let them.
Sudoku
Copyright 2010, United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- This is one of those days when answers
you can achieve something quite significant and/or difficult.
However, don’t allow yourself to get bogged down in details.

Police: New Zealand
quake death toll 113
By Kristen Gelineau
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LYTTELTON, New Zealand — At the epi-
center, children in the school playground
screamed as the earth rattled and cracked.
Elderly residents toppled to the floor in the
nursing home. Cliff faces fell, spitting truck-
sized boulders across lawns and through hous-
es.
When this week’s massive earthquake flat-
tened office towers and killed at least 113 peo-
ple in New Zealand’s city of Christchurch, the
tiny harborside village of Lyttelton, just to the
REUTERS south, found itself straddling the epicenter.
A protester shouts slogans during a demonstration against Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi “I thought the devil was coming up out of

old teacher’s aide who yanked a student under

that noise, that NOISE!” he said Thursday,
shaking his head at the memory. “I thought,
‘Well, I’m going to die.”’
The rumbling started at 12:51 p.m. Tuesday.
When it stopped, Fitzgerald ran to join the
students on the school’s playground, most of
whom were sobbing hysterically. He saw a
giant, mushroom-shaped cloud of dust hover-
ing over the town. The community’s usual
hum was replaced by silence, punctuated by
screams, dog barks and seagull calls.
Two days later, dazed residents of the close-
knit village of 3,000 wandered through dusty,
brick- and glass-covered streets, pausing when
they passed each other to offer hugs, shed a
few tears and ask the question on everyone’s
mind: “How’s your house?”
Police superintendent David Cliff said

Gadhafi forces strike a desk and sheltered him as the school rocked
menacingly, sending everything crashing to
the floor.
“The whole building was just undulating —
Friday morning the latest count of bodies at a
special morgue set up to deal with the dead
was 113. With 228 people listed as missing,
the toll of fatalities was still expected to rise.

back at Libya uprising

By Paul Schemm and Sarah El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BENGHAZI, Libya — Foreign mercenar-
ies and Libyan militiamen loyal to
Moammar Gadhafi tried to roll back the
uprising against his rule that has advanced
closer to his stronghold in Tripoli, attacking
two nearby cities in battles that killed at least
17 people. But rebels made new gains, seiz-
ing a military air base, as Gadhafi blamed
Osama bin Laden for the upheaval.
The worse bloodshed was in Zawiya, 30
miles (50 kilometers) west of the capital
Tripoli. An army unit loyal to Gadhafi
opened fire with automatic weapons on a
mosque where residents — some armed with
hunting rifles for protection — have been
holding a sit-in to support protesters in the
capital, a witness said.
The troops blasted the mosque’s minaret
with an anti-aircraft gun. A doctor at a field
clinic set up at the mosque said he saw the
bodies of 10 dead, shot in the head and
chest, as well as around 150 wounded. A
Libyan news website, Qureyna, put the death
toll at 23 and said many of the wounded
could not reach hospitals because of shoot-

Zawiya, a key city close to an oil port and
refineries, is the nearest population center to
Tripoli to fall into the hands of the anti-
Gadhafi rebellion that began Feb. 15.
Hundreds have died in the unrest.
Most of the eastern half of Libya has
already broken away, and diplomats, minis-
ters and even a high-ranking cousin have
abandoned Gadhafi, who has ruled Libya for
41 years. He is still believed to be firmly in
control only of the capital, some towns
around it, the far desert south and parts of
Libya’s sparsely populated center.
Gadhafi’s crackdown has been the harsh-
est by any Arab leader in the wave of
protests that has swept the Middle East the
past month, toppling the presidents of
Libya’s neighbors — Egypt and Tunisia.
