Nursing homes fate in balance

Building owner challenges some conclusions about the structural,financial soundness
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Conclusions about the structural and financial soundness of Burlingame Long Term Care, the county-run nursing facility recommended for closure in July 2013, might well be wrong according to one of the two broth-
ers who own the building. Mario Muzzi said he and brother Vincent arent trying to sway the Board of Supervisors one way or the other about the proposal. Their dog in this ght isnt that one. Instead, Mario Muzzi said he simply wants the board to be fully informed rather than rely solely on a report that makes the facility seem bound for
physical and nancial ruin if the county renews its contract. There is a lot of incorrect information and weve claried as much as we can. Even if the county decides not to stay for nancial reasons, which is their prerogative, we did not want it to be based on wrong information, Mario Muzzi said. In a 12-page letter to the board
delivered last week, the Muzzis pick apart the Dec. 20, 2011 report by consultant Lawrence Funk who the county hired to assess the centers future. The Muzzis say Funk never interviewed nor consulted them for his evaluation. Mario Muzzi also plans to attend the Board of Supervisors meeting this morning to deliver the same message and
answer any questions. For 11 years, the Muzzis have owned the Trousdale Drive building as part of 1100 Trousdale, LLC, and California Trousdale, LLC. San Mateo County took over the 281-bed nursing facility in 2003 at the request of the Department of

Learning in a virtual world

San Carlos students take part in unique field trip in the classroom

How many of you know who Indiana Jones is? Chuck Kazilek asked a group of 22 students via a web chat Monday afternoon. Hands shot up in Ben Sibracks classroom at the San Carlos Charter Learning Center. Being a scientist, Kazilek explained, can be like that. It will take you to different places to see new things and experience unique cultures. It was the start to a virtual eld trip Monday, the second at the school so far this school year. Technology, provided by Vidyo,
Inc., made the conversation about bugs with experts at Arizona State University possible. Children sat at their desks as if it were any other school day. But their teacher wasnt in front. A large atscreen television stared back at the students with a webcam anchored on top. In addition, an iPad was often passed around so students could have an up-close look at the items on the screen. During what was more than an hour-long eld trip, Dr. Quentin Wheeler, taxonomist and entomologist at Arizona State University, and Kazilek, assistant dean of technolo-
gy, media and communications at the ASU college of liberal arts and sciences, chatted with students about their research and answered questions. Wheeler showed students variations of the tiger beetle, which they were studying. He was able to showcase what was under his microscope on the screen and show students the different settings of which the microscope was capable. The colorful bugs generated questions for the students like: What can we learn from the colorful outside of
Larry Thomas 30th birthday bash in San Mateo Saturday night was a fun time for all until the birthday boy got arrested for obstruction of justice. Thomas had transformed a warehouse space that he owns on Palm Avenue into a makeshift skatepark for he and his friends to enjoy while a live band also performed.
As the party was winding down, however, a police ofcer drove by and noticed a group of men taking equipment out of the California Smog & Go garage into a waiting van at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, according to a partygoer. At that time of night, in a commercial district, any activity is going to attract police attention, said San Mateo police Sgt. Dave Norris.

Thought for the Day

We are effectively destroying ourselves by violence masquerading as love.

This Day in History
1912
Arizona became the 48th state of the Union as President William Howard Taft signed a proclamation.
In 1778, the American ship Ranger carried the recently adopted Stars and Stripes to a foreign port for the rst time as it arrived in France. In 1859, Oregon was admitted to the Union as the 33rd state. In 1862, Confederate President Jefferson Davis signed a proclamation making Arizona a Confederate territory. In 1876, inventors Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray applied separately for patents related to the telephone. (The U.S. Supreme Court eventually ruled Bell the rightful inventor.) In 1895, Oscar Wildes nal play, The Importance of Being Earnest, opened at the St. Jamess Theatre in London. In 1903, the Department of Commerce and Labor was established. (It was divided into separate departments of Commerce and Labor in 1913.) In 1920, the League of Women Voters was founded in Chicago; its rst president was Maud Wood Park. In 1929, the St. Valentines Day Massacre took place in a Chicago garage as seven rivals of Al Capones gang were gunned down. In 1949, Israels Knesset convened for the rst time. In 1962, rst lady Jacqueline Kennedy conducted a televised tour of the White House in a videotaped special that was broadcast on CBS and NBC (and several nights later on ABC). In 1979, Adolph Dubs, the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, was kidnapped in Kabul by Muslim extremists and killed in a shootout between his abductors and police. In 1989, Irans Ayatollah Khomeini called on Muslims to kill Salman Rushdie, author of The Satanic Verses, a novel condemned as blasphemous. Ten years ago: Launching his defense against war crimes charges, former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic justied his actions as a struggle against terrorism and said he was a victim of twisted facts and terrible fabrication.

On Valentines Day, a museum for broken hearts
ZAGREB, Croatia What becomes of a garden gnome hurled in fury at a car during a stormy breakup? Or a teddy bear that was once a Valentines Day present? A wedding dress from a marriage gone awry? An ax that smashed through household furniture? All are on display at the Museum of Broken Relationships in the Croatian capital, each with written testimonies telling tales of passion, romance and heartbreak. On Valentines Day, the museum sees its visits almost double. The objects that are here represent all the stages of a breakup ... and how people go through love, said Drazen Grubisic, a designer and artist who cofounded the museum in 2010 in the Croatian capital. We might say its a love museum, just upside down, he said. The mementos collected from all over the world are random and varied, ranging from fake rubber breasts to a cast from a broken leg. Each item comes with dates and locations of the relationships, and notes by their anonymous donors. Some are funny. The note next to a garter belt says: I never put them on. The relationship might have lasted longer if I had. Some are bitter. The garden gnome ew over a car driven by a husband who turned arrogant and heartless. It bounced on the asphalt, shattering its face. It was a long loop, drawing an arc of time ... that dened the end of love, the note from Slovenia said. An ax from Berlin was used by a woman to smash every piece of furniture her girlfriend had left behind. The more the room filled with chopped furniture, (the more) I felt better. The text by a blue frisbee reads: Darling, should you ever get the ridiculous idea to walk into a cultural institution like a museum for the rst time in your life, youll remember me. The museum, located just across from Zagrebs City Hall where couples get married, currently displays some 100 relics out of about 1,000 that have been collected from around the world. Parts of the collection have traveled as far as Manila, London and Singapore to be put on display. In each city, the heartbroken can donate their stuff to the Zagreb museum. A prosthetic leg currently showcased in England at the National Centre for Craft and Design, was donated by a war veteran who fell in love with his physical therapist. A note says it lasted longer than the relationship because it was made of sturdier material. The museum itself is the brainchild of a breakup. When Grubisic and cofounder Olinka Vistica, a lmmaker, split up, they got stuck when it came to dividing their sentimental memorabilia. They didnt want to just get rid of it, so they created a museum. Maybe sometime in your life you will want to remember some of the good parts of the relationship, Grubisic said. He said that donors of mementos nd the giving therapeutic. They can move on, he said. They also show theres something universal: We all have been brokenhearted at least once.

School officials say bedbugs at school a hoax

AUGUSTA, Ky. Augusta Independent School Principal Robin Kelsch had enough to worry about with the u. Kelsch didnt need a students report of bedbugs at the school to make things worse. But, thats what he got. Kelsch told The Ledger Independent that the report turned out to be a hoax, but school ofce phones were ringing with concerned parents on the other end. Kelsch said the rumor started when a student brought in a water bug and squashed it, then told her friends it was a bedbug just to scare them. Kelsch said officials checked the school, then bleached and cleaned it and found absolutely no bedbugs.

Student arrested for making Burlingame High School bomb threat
A female student who allegedly used a male students email to deliver a bomb and gun threat to Burlingame High School administrators was arrested Monday, according to Burlingame police. It was alleged that the female student used the male students email to send the message without his knowledge after he logged into his account on a school computer and momentarily walked away, according to police. The threat was received Friday afternoon and the school was locked down shortly after 2 p.m. Police responded to campus and detained the male student after administrators identied him and determined he was on campus. Police also swept the campus with a bomb-snifng dog and searched the male students backpack and lockers. No weapons were found, according to police. The lockdown was lifted shortly after 2:30 p.m. and parents were permitted to pick up students at the school. An automated call went out to parents notifying them of the incident, according to school ofcials. No motive was given for the threat and the girl was released on bail, according to police. She is not being named because she is a minor.
County Controller Tom Huening, a longtime public servant who previously served as a county supervisor, is resigning at the end of March to devote his complete attention to a second book on spirituality. Huenings mid-term resignation, submitted late Friday, Feb. 10 and effective March 31, caught many in the county off guard. But Huening, 70, said after 30 years in public service, hes ready for the greener pastures of a full-time author. Ive tried to do it part time and it hasnt worked so Im clearing the decks to write most of my time, Huening said. Huenings departure created a mix of emotions. Im happy for Tom if hes decided this is what he wants to do but Im sad to see him leave because he has such institutional knowledge, said Adrienne Tissier, president of the Board of Supervisors. When Huening was re-elected in 2010 he didnt foresee not nishing his term but said yesterday the time is right, his ofce is being left in the more than capable hands of his staff The bottom line is they dont really need me anymore, he joked. And his four adult daughters supported his leaving a well-paying, secure job in a down economy. At the time, Huening had already penned
Spiritual Choices: Putting the Here in Hereafter, and was amassing notes for a follow-up book. Now, Huening said its time to turn those jottings into another book with the working title Spiritual but not Religious. Huening himself was Tom Huening raised Catholic, with parents he jokes were holier than the pope, but abandoned the faith around age 30. After hitting 60, Huening said he grew interested again and began exploring spirituality which led to his rst book, a summary of the ve great world religions. The second book will focus on how people are searching for ways to be spiritual although perhaps in a different sense than the traditional connes of organized religion. But while Huenings title is changing, very little in the rest of his life is. He plans to continue living in San Mateo although some writing-related trips arent out of the question and stay busy with his nine grandkids. For his birthday, the family group of 18 plans to hit Disneyland an organizational feat in itself although they will forgo the matching tie-dyed T-shirts used to keep track of each other at the county fair, he said. Its all a little different than planned. As a Navy jet ghter pilot and then commercially for
TWA, Huening said he imagined a year in Paris, maybe one in London or Madrid. Now, hes interested in staying close to his family and to where hes served the better part of three decades. Huening sat on the San Mateo County Community College District from 1981 to 1986, followed by a run on the Board of Supervisors from 1987 to 1998. He was elected controller in 1998 and re-elected every four years since. As the boards nancial advisor, Huening has focused on strategically, he said big-ticket needs like the BART extension to San Francisco International Airport, transportation needs like half-cent sales tax Measure A, scal improvement suggestions at San Mateo Medical Center and most recently whether the county really should construct a new jail. The question for county ofcials now is how to ll Huenings shoes. The county charter allows the board to appoint a successor or call a special election. Huenings March 31 resignation date comes too late for the county to place that election on the June ballot so November would be more likely, said David Tom, deputy assessor-county clerkrecorder. Tissier said the board will have to discuss the preferred course. Its too soon in the game right now, she said. The county charter also makes any resignation submitted for a future effective date irrevocable.
AIDS Memorial Quilt displayed in San Francisco

The AIDS Memorial Quilt is back in its hometown for its largest San Francisco exhibition since the project moved across the country more than a decade ago. Local organizers began showing 40 sections of the massive quilt Sunday, and plan to hold free exhibitions around the city until Feb. 20. The quilt was conceived by gay rights activist Cleve Jones. It has grown from 1,900 panels, each representing an AIDS victim, in 1987 to more than 44,000 panels today. Its managed by the Names Project Foundation, which moved its headquarters from San Francisco to Atlanta in 1999.

San Mateo-Foster City officials weighing $130M bond measure
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Voters in the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District could see a $130 million bond measure on the June ballot a topic the board will continue to discuss Thursday. Survey results of possible voters were generally supportive, which led the board to continue the consideration process of putting a bond measure, which supports facilities, on the June ballot. Earlier this month, the board gave the green light for staff to work on a districtwide measure to upgrade facilities such as adding classrooms, upgrading infrastructure and building a fourth elementary school in Foster City. While the district considers going to the voters, it is scheduling informational James M.Hallock sessions with the community. The deadline to James M.

Bryan Godbe of Godbe Research, which conducted the survey, suggested the district consider taxing at a rate no higher than $19 per each $100,000 value of a property. How much would be raised by such a bond is not yet known. A $19 per $100,000 measure generated 60 percent support, 5 percent more than a bond measure requires to pass. Between Jan. 8 and Jan. 15, around 500 possible voters 300 from Foster City, 200 from San Mateo and unincorporated areas were surveyed through an 18-minute phone conversation. Without any additional information, support for a bond measure was high, 61.3 percent, said Godbe. Support for a possible bond increased as the amount per a propertys $100,000 value decreased. For example, $28 per a propertys $100,000 value generated 52 percent while by parents, teachers, guidance counselors and administrators. Other application procedures include student testing for reading and writing, an information meeting with parents and interviews with students and parents.

In addition, growing enrollment in Foster City means the district is looking at construction of another elementary school. Measure L has money to purchase the land but not to cover the remaining costs. A new possible bond measure, as described, could raise $130 million, still short of the $155 million in unmet needs on the facilities list. And, that doesnt include costs for building a new school.

Glyn Davies, the U.S. envoy on North Korea, will meet Feb. 23 with North Korean First Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters Monday. It will be the third round of bilateral talks since last summer, aimed at restarting six-nation aid-for-disarmament negotiations on North Koreas nuclear program. The reclusive nation pulled out of the multi-nation talks in 2009. But it will be the rst such contact since Kim died Dec. 17 and power passed to his untested youngest son, Kim Jong Un. It could signal the new regimes willingness to deal with Washington and address international concerns over its nuclear and missile programs.
WASHINGTON Taking a pass on reining in government growth, President Barack Obama unveiled a record $3.8 trillion election-year budget plan Monday, calling for stimulus-style spending on roads and schools and tax hikes on the wealthy to help pay the costs. The ideas landed with a thud on Capitol Hill. Though the Pentagon and a number of Cabinet agencies would get squeezed, Obama would leave the spiraling growth of health care programs for the elderly and the poor largely unchecked. The plan claims $4 trillion in decit savings over the coming decade, but most of it would be through tax increases Republicans oppose, lower war costs already in motion and budget cuts enacted last year in a debt pact with GOP lawmakers. Many of the ideas in the White House plan for the 2013 budget year will be thrashed out during this years election campaigns as the Republicans try to oust Obama from the White House and add Senate control to their command of the House. We cant just cut our way into growth, Obama said at a campaignstyle rally at a community college in the vote-rich Northern Virginia suburbs. We can cut back on the things that we dont need, but we also have to make sure that everyone is paying their fair share for the things that we do need. Republicans were unimpressed. While the measure contains some savings to Medicare and Medicaid, generally by reducing payments to health providers, both programs would double in size over the coming decade. It seems like the president has decided again to campaign instead of govern and that hes just going to duck this countrys scal problems, said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis.

New Jersey Senate OKs gay marriage bill in milestone vote

TRENTON, N.J. In a move that supporters called a civil rights milestone, New Jerseys state Senate on Monday passed a bill to recognize same-sex marriages, marking the rst time state lawmakers ofcially endorsed the idea despite the promise of a veto by Gov. Chris Christie. Mondays vote was 24-16 in favor of the bill, a major swing from January 2010, when the Senate rejected it 20-14. It means the world isnt changing, it means the world has already changed, Steven Goldstein, chairman of the gay rights group Garden State Equality said after the vote. So wake up and smell the equality. Before the vote, Marsha Shapiro squeezed the hand of her longtime partner Louise Walpin, and reected on how a body that rejected gay marriage two years ago was about to change its stance. The pride will overpower the sorrow, she said.
A budget plan or a campaign document?

By Tom Raum
WASHINGTON President Barack Obamas new budget lays down the political themes he will pound as he campaigns for re-election more spending on jobs and higher taxes for the wealthy. It sets him apart from the Republican contenders and gives Democrats a platform to run on. And a target for GOP candidates to shoot at. In his $3.8 trillion spending plan for the budget year that begins Oct. 1, Obama levels direct criticism at Republicans. Though nobody is expecting the budget to be embraced by Congress, thats still an unusual negotiating tactic in a usually dry document. It highlights the elevated political stakes. Unfortunately, Republicans in Congress blocked both our decit reduction measures and almost every part of the American Jobs Act for the simple reason
that they were unwilling to ask the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share, Obama said in his budget introduction. It was a reference to a legislative plan that Obama proposed in September and that Congress ignored. Many of its features are incorporated into his new budget. Much of the presidential spending outline, in fact, plays to Obamas election-year agenda, a strategy not lost on Republicans. This proposal isnt really a budget at all. Its a campaign document, said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Obamas budget blueprint showcases the major priorities of his presidency, ones that contrast sharply with Republicans near-solid opposition to tax increases and advocacy for deep spending cuts, including in popular benefit programs such as Medicare and Medicare.

The Hillsborough City Elementary School District is facing moderate increases to class sizes, reductions to elementary school specialists and fewer elective opportunities at Crocker with the consideration of about $600,000 in cuts. On Wednesday, the board is set to vote on a proposal by Superintendent Anthony Ranii to cut next years budget by $595,950. Raniis proposal starts with increasing class sizes in kindergarten and first grade from 20 to 22, in second and third grades from 20 to 23 and in fourth and fifth grades from 24 to 25. Such a change will result in cutting two teachers. Cuts could also include a English language learner specialist, two Spanish teachers and a 12-hour per day computer specialist program. At Crocker, 1.5 positions will be reduced connected to reducing electives and possibly some lunchtime activities. The details of which courses could be cut are not known, but Ranii explained it could mean offering less sections of a certain elective. Numerous meetings were held with residents, parents and employees over recent months to discuss the possible cuts prior to Ranii drafting the proposal. The board meets 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15 at West School multipurpose room, 376 Barbara Way. The San Carlos Elementary School District Board of Trustees will hold a budget study session 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15 at Central Middle School library, 828 Chestnut St., San Carlos.
ANNANDALE, Va. President Barack Obama called on Congress Monday to create an $8 billion fund to train community college students for high-growth industries, giving a nancial incentive to schools whose graduates are getting jobs. The fund was part of Obamas proposed budget for 2013. The overall package aims to achieve $4 trillion in decit reduction over the next decade by restraining government spending and raising taxes on the wealthy, while boosting spending in some areas, including education. Obama warned Congress that blocking investments in education and other proposals in his budget would be standing in the way of Americas comeback. By reducing our decit in the long term, what that allows us to do is to invest in the things that will help grow our economy right now, Obama said during remarks at Northern Virginia Community College. The White House says the Community College to Career Fund would train 2 million workers for jobs in potential growth areas such as electronic

medical records and cyber security within sectors such as health care, transportation and advanced manufacturing. A key component of the community college plan would institute pay for performance in job training, meaning there would be nancial incentives to ensure that trainees nd permanent jobs particularly for programs that place individuals facing the greatest hurdles getting work. It also would promote training of entrepreneurs, provide grants for state and local government to recruit companies, and support paid internships for low-income community college students. Obama said community colleges needs resources to become community career centers where students can learn skills that local businesses need immediately. This should be an engine of job growth all across the country, these community colleges, and thats why weve got to support them, Obama said.
Obama pointed to programs in Louisville, Ky., Charlotte, N.C., and Orlando, Fla., as good examples. UPS overnight workers in Louisville get a tuition-and-book benet at the University of Louisville or Jefferson Community and Technical College as part of a program designed to help the company recruit and retain workers. Central Piedmont Technical College in Charlotte created a two-year degree in mechatronics, which combines skills in mechanical, electrical and computer elds. In Orlando, Northrop Grumman has aggressively hired laser technicians who completed a program developed by Valencia College because of demand. Education Secretary Arne Duncan told reporters on a conference call that the specifics of the pay-for-performance aspect of the plan are still being hammered out, but its possible that about $500 million would go toward rewarding programs that successfully place workers.

State investigates PG&E pipeline safety practices
California utility regulators are investigating Pacific Gas & Electric Co.s pipeline safety practices after two welders claimed that some of the companys lines contain weld defects and that repairs have not been made properly. The California Public Utilities Commission on Monday said it is following up on reports from welders with the United Association of Plumbers, Pipe Fitters and Steamtters who raised the concerns after working on tests of PG&E pipelines in 2011. CPUCs Consumer Protection and Safety Division has already investigated claims that PG&E found leaks in some distribution pipelines but failed to make timely repairs. That investigation had thus far found no evidence to support those claims. A Sept. 9, 2010 explosion on a PG&E transmission line in San Bruno killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes.
SAN FRANCISCO Backers of afrmative action asked a federal appeals court Monday to overturn Californias 15-year-old ban on considering race in public college admissions, citing a steep drop in black, Latino and Native American students at the states elite campuses. A three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeal heard arguments in the latest legal challenge to Proposition 209, the landmark voter initiative that barred racial, ethnic and gender preferences in public education, employment and contracting. The afrmative action ban has withstood multiple challenges since voters approved it in 1996, but advocates say their campaign to overturn it has been
bolstered by recent court decisions, as well as support from Gov. Jerry Brown. Dozens of minority students backing the plaintiffs filled the courtroom for the hour-long hearing, when the justices questioned whether they should tamper with a 1997 ruling in which the same appellate court upheld Proposition 209. Attorneys for the plaintiffs said afrmative action is needed to increase racial diversity at the University of Californias most prestigious campuses and professional schools. Data shows that UCs efforts to enroll diverse student populations without considering race have failed, they argued. What you see before you is a new form of separate and unequal going on right before our eyes, plaintiffs attorney George Washington told the three male justices.

OPINION
ing. And I think many students would agree with this. I just took the test Feb. 7 and it was relatively easy, and I think it is a passable test for anyone if you try. Having the released questions from previous CAHSEE tests was very useful because it gave everyone a sense of the test format. My English teacher, Ms. Press, gave us a lot of help when it came to test taking tips and what strategies we could choose among if we ever got stuck on a question. The math section was extremely easy because it was for the most part eighth grade math with a small section of high school math. Being able to refresh those skills in my geometry class with Mr. Tsao was a definite help because it gave me an idea of what the CAHSEE would be like, and what type of problems we would
The importance of the California exit exam

By Irania Donis Miguel
he California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) should be required to graduate from high school because it tests basic skills, and also gives the school a sense of how their students are doing. Some students decide that this test is not important and stupid, therefore they dont take this test seriously and barely graduate with mediocre grades. These students shouldnt have the privilege of earning a diploma compared to students who put an effort in their education. A couple of cons about the English portion of the test are that some of the questions tend to be tricky, and not as straightforward as they should be. Also, the passages are extremely boring which made me kind of angry because its hard to focus on a test that you want to do well in because you cannot concentrate on what your read-

encounter. At Hillsdale, we have an advisory period, and in that period my advisor, Mr. Lindgren Streicher, as well as the other advisories practiced hard for the test because everyone knew how important this test was. It could be the factor of our graduation from high school which is important. I dont see a reason of why this CAHSEE test should not be required. It is a simple test with basic terms that any student could pass if they tried.

Swearing off gifts

inky swear, right? The question, or rather the conrmation I wasnt going to uphold my end of the no gifts bargain and be blind-sided by tokens of affections, was warranted. Previous attempts to stay on a level playing eld nearly always fail. Sure, you say no gifts for each other but then you are presented with something that doesnt count because its for us. Or, you say no more than $5 but your just-under-the limit box of $4.99 cream puffs are met with something dazzling and sparkly and in a little box. Oh, this thing? It was on a crazy clearance rack. And mismarked. And I had a coupon. Those excuses are about as hollow as the feeling in ones stomach when the gift you give falls so woefully short, regardless of any prearranged guidelines. Holidays, but particularly Valentines Day, shouldnt have to be like this. Ideally, the concept is about showing the other person or people, lets not be judgy how much they mean to you. Any offerings on that day are supposed to be sincere tokens of affection not some performance bonus meant to quantify emotion by a sheer number of owers or carats. Granted, Im not knocking years past of iPods and trips, tulips and baubles but those would be welcome any day of the year. Of course, maybe thats why the annual festival of heart-shaped indulgence has driven a cynical stake through the day for some of us out here the event is less celebration and more relationship test. How well do you know me? How much are you willing to spend? Are you trained enough to know I must look good in front of the coworkers with obscene displays of posies and confections? Do you really think a forced three-course prix xe menu is better than a little home cooking or maybe the exact opposite is true and a night betting heels and impossibly constructed desserts is in order? Im not saying a little thought isnt warranted for those who go the gift route. Anything frankly is better than those last-minute greeting cards picked up at the convenience store counter or those baskets of teddy bears and balloons sold on the street corners by vendors whose bread and butter are the procrastinators and clueless. On the ip side, a little thoughtfulness is also warranted by the recipients. If somebody is sweet enough to give you a valentine, even if it is a Pokeman or Barbie special straight out of those boxes made for classroom exchanges, say thank you and mean it. For instance, if your girlfriend goes out of her way one Valentines Day to buy overpriced preseason baseball tickets the rst year the Giants called Pac Bell Park home, the proper response is not too bad theyre not opening day. At least, Ive heard thats an unacceptable reaction. In any case, sometimes the best gift is absolutely nothing. No expectations, no dashed hopes and at least for me this year no wondering when the other half ever found the time to shop/order/bake/make/create or, frankly, even remember. With Cupid showing up just around the corner from Christmas and the start of a brand-new car payment, smack dab in the middle of a zillion gift-mandatory birthdays and squeezed in a schedule already jam-packed with classes and work and studying and dogs and chores and endless catch up from the day before, the idea of Valentines Day just sounds exhausting. The best gift we decided, ngers actually outstretched, was agreeing to give none. A lowkey dinner is still acceptable and maybe just maybe a card. But if there is ever anybody Id want to be my Valentine it has got to be a person who perfectly understands not giving one. So this year, there will be little for Feb. 14 except for an empty hand, a full heart and those three little words that Id better hear, too: Nothing for you. Pinky swear.

Exit exam a waste of time
Editor, Im a sophomore in high school and I just spent the last six weeks preparing for the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). With all due respect, this exam was created by people who will not only never have to take the CAHSEE itself, but have also never sat through annual standardized tests throughout their entire educational career. Not only are these tests boring; they are a waste of time. The results dont prove what students have learned over the course of the year but what the teachers have been cramming into their curriculum for a few weeks prior to the test. Tests like the CAHSEE are only motivating students to memorize and pass, not learn. Standardized tests are actually decreasing the quality of our education system and, in my opinion, they should end. So here is the question: Is saving 10 minutes worth more than $8 billion and a decade of construction gridlock? ed word to mislead has to be taken seriously.

High-speed rail
Editor, I think the Daily Journal is an excellent paper, and to maintain quality editorial standards, you ought to spend a few minutes to check for accuracy before you publish an opinion piece. It seems that the Other Voices editorials (e.g., The Long Brach Press-Telegram in the Feb. 10 issue) are often anti-high-speed rail. The gist of that essay was that the rail authority was using ridership data that was impossible. They noted that the ridership estimate was 36.8 million rides a year and countered that there are only a total of 4.9 million airline flights from the Bay Area to Los Angeles, so that number could never be reached. I checked the estimate myself, and the bulk of the numbers are from drivers becoming riders, and only counted on 6 percent of more than 600 million drivers switching to the faster train (which seems conservative), a number that would more than make up the difference. Drivers are estimated to be over 900 million per year by 2030. A lot of readers in this state will take this editorial, with its cherry-picked numbers, as representing reality. The power of the print-
Why we should support high-speed rail

Editor, Here is a reality check for those who use the word boondoggle with high-speed rail. According to Caltrans, lanes on Interstate 5 costs $31.4 million per lane mile. Adding four new lanes to I-5 (two per direction) for 800 miles instead of paying for high-speed rail would cost over $100 billion. But, in doing so, we will have done nothing to alleviate traffic congestion, we would not lesson our dependence on oil, we do nothing to reduce the amount of pollution we emit and the time it takes to travel the 800 miles will increase, not decrease. Now let us talk about air travel. LAX (the fifth busiest commercial airport in the world) is in one of the most complex air traffic control spaces in the world. And, it shares this air space with four other airports, one being Van Nuys the busiest general aviation airport in the world. Then there is our woefully outdated air traffic control system (total: $100 billion plus). So, in this cost comparison we can see that high-speed rail provides us the best option for our growing transit needs.
Sam Rosen San Mateo
Is high-speed rail worth it?

Editor, Electrifying Caltrain will cost $2 billion. Connecting San Jose to San Francisco by high-speed rail will cost $10 billion (if not more). Since high-speed rail trains can only travel at 120 mph along the Peninsula, the difference in travel time is anywhere between four and 10 minutes for the 45mile trip.

U.S.market shakes off Greek worries and advances

and the minimum wage, required by international leaders for a $170 billion bailout that Greece must have to avoid defaulting on its debt. Other details of the bailout still need to be nalized, though. And rioting while Greeces parliament voted was a reminder that its nancial problems are not solved. Germany also indicated it would take time before approving the bailout. The Greek debt deal amounts to a default because creditors will get less than they are owed, said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist for Rockwell Global Capital. Still, orderly default is better than a chaotic default, which would lean on the whole eurozone and the global economy as well, he said, referring to the 17 countries that use the euro currency. Cardillo said market gains may be muted for a while because of the social unrest in Greece and because stocks have already risen this year. The Dow is up 5.4 percent, the S&P 7.5 percent. The Dow closed up 72.81 points, or 0.6 percent, at 12,874.04. Its 16 points shy of its highest close since the 2008 nancial meltdown.

Stock in the Empire State Building: Going up?
Soon investors can take after King Kong and grab a piece of the Empire State Building. The company that runs the Depression-era skyscraper, the tallest building in New York, is planning to go public in a stock offering that could raise $1 billion, according to documents led with regulators Monday. That means that even if you cant afford to buy a home, you can buy a stake in perhaps the nations most iconic ofce building. At least until the government sells shares in the Pentagon. The planned IPO comes about 10 years after real estate investor Peter Malkin bought the 102-story Art Deco landmark from Donald Trump and a business partner for $57.5 million.
U.S., EU clear Googles $12.5 billion Motorola Mobility bid

By Michael Liedtke and Gabriele Steinauser
SAN FRANCISCO Googles $12.5 billion bid to buy cellphone maker Motorola Mobility has won approvals from U.S. and European antitrust regulators, moving Google a major step closer to completing the biggest deal in its 13-year history. Mondays blessings mean Google Inc. just needs to clear regulatory hurdles in China, Taiwan and Israel before it can take control of Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. and expand into manufacturing phones, tablet computers and possibly other consumer devices for the rst time. Getting government approval in China looms as the biggest stumbling block still left. Googles relationship with Chinas ruling party has been on shaky ground since the company blamed hackers in that country for breaking into its computers two years ago. The breach prompted Google to move its Internet search engine from mainland China in protest of laws requiring some results to be censored. Google prizes Motorola Mobilitys more than 17,000 patents a crucial weapon in an intellectual arms race with Apple, Microsoft and other rivals to gain more control over smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. Google announced the deal six months ago. The deal will enhance competition and offer consumers faster innovation, greater choice and wonderful user experiences, Don Harrison, Googles deputy general counsel wrote in a blog post.
AT&T customers surprised by unlimited data limit

NEW YORK Mike Trang likes to use his iPhone 4 as a GPS device, helping him get around in his job. Now and then, his younger cousins get ahold of it, and play some YouTube videos and games. But in the past few weeks, there has been none of that, because AT&T Inc. put a virtual wheel clamp on his phone. Web pages wouldnt load and maps wouldnt render. Forget about YouTube videos Trangs data speeds were reduced to dial-up levels. It basically makes my phone useless, said Trang, an Orange County, Calif. property manager. The reason: AT&T considers Trang to be among the top 5 percent of the heaviest cellular data users in his area. Under a new policy, AT&T has started cutting their data speeds as part of an attempt to manage data usage on its network. So last month, AT&T throttled Trangs iPhone, slowing downloads by roughly 99 percent. That means a Web page that would normally take a second to load instead took almost two minutes.

Move over Padres, Sacred Heart Prep is best

lthough my main job is to cover sports, Im always looking at and listening to the periphery of the game. I hear fans complain about refs. I hear kids conversations with each other, I eavesdrop on coaches time-outs none of which I report on because it has nothing to do with the game Thank goodness for this column, which allows me address the things that dont have to do with the game itself.
One aspect I will talk about are schools student cheering sections. Serras section has been the gold standard for years, but they dont always wear the crown. For a while, the Menlo-Atherton cheering section, along with Menlo Schools, were the best on the Peninsula. This year, the title of best student cheering section has got to go to Sacred Heart Prep. It was in full voice Friday night at Menlo, when the Sacred Heart Prep girls and boys basketball team
faced off against the rival Knights. The Gators cheering section was mostly full by the middle of the fourth quarter of the girls game, but it was relatively subdued. The students picked up the intensity as soon as the Gator boys took the oor and they kept it up until the end of the game. Before I continue, just let me point out that I am aware that a lot of stuff that goes on in one student section is used by other schools. Thats why I nd it funny when two sections will use the
same chant, only to be rebuked by the section that used it rst, usually with the admonishing, Get your own chant! But before you claim your student section invented something, just know everyone is copying the Duke University cheering section, the Cameron Crazies. The Gators section, however, has the best opening act Ive seen in a while. A couple minutes before tipoff, a stu-

That was later followed by the obligatory I believe that we will win! chant, which is standard fare for any student cheering section in the know. Following the Gators 45-32 win, the student section went with I believe that we just won! which, I admit, is the rst time Ive heard that one. Between those two chants, the section saved one of the best for last. As a Menlo player fouled, he was serenaded with Right! Left! Right! Left! as he trudged off the court. The chant continued as the player made his way down the bench and, just as he took a seat, the section roared, Sit down! That was pretty funny. Tonights action begins with four out-of-division matchups, pitting the Ocean against the Lake. Lake Division champion San Mateo will have to do all their winning on the road, despite their division title. First up is a trip to Daly City against the No. 12 seed Westmoor Rams. The Bearcats are coming off a loss to Terra Nova, who will visit Carlmont in first round action. The winner of that game will hop on a bus north to Jefferson. Sequoia, who hosts the championship games this year, will have a long road if theyre going to play on their home courts. Their rst order of business is Menlo-Atherton and a Bears team that placed fourth in the Ocean Division. The winner of that game takes a trip to title-town Half Moon Bay, who captured the Ocean Division (which, by the way, makes two Ocean Division crowns for the Cougars this season: football and basketball). Capuchino visits South City to round out Tuesdays action. The Warriors are led by reigning Daily Journal Athlete of the Week, Marquis Johnson. South City was the runner-up in the 2011 version of the tournament. If they were to hold off the Colts, theyd travel to Hillsdale High School where Aragon awaits the winner as the No. 8 seed. The fth seeded Knights will play the winner of San Mateo-Westmoor. In the girls bracket, the bulls-eye is on the baddest team in the Peninsula: The Terra Nova Tigers. Winners of the last three PAL tournaments, the Tigers went a perfect 10-0 in Bay Division play, outscoring their opponents by an The only drawback I saw was in the nal moments of the game. As it was apparent Sacred Heart Prep would be victorious, the student section all assumed the Tebow position on bended knee, elbow on knee and st on forehead which is basically a rip-off of Rodins The Thinker statue. That was pretty lame. Isnt the who Tebowing thing played out by now? If not, it should be. Other than that, high marks for the SHP student cheering section. *** Can anyone explain what the Oakland As are doing? They spend the offseason gutting the team, just to turn around and sign the hottest average of 65-42. Their closest game was a threepoint win over San Mateo and, speaking of the Bearcats, theyre the No. 2 seed in the girls tournament. San Mateo winds up in the same side of the bracket as Mills, who beat them two of three times this season. The Vikings are seeded third. Menlo-Atherton, who nished 3-7 in division play, is the fourth seed by virtue of a tie-breaker with Burlingame. There are four girls games tonight the most intriguing of which is a rivalry game between Sequoia and Carlmont. The Scots host the Lake Division champions at 6 p.m. Staying in the bottom of the bracket, Capuchino travels to South San Francisco to face El Camino. The winner of that matchup will be hosted by Westmoor, the No. 8 seed in the tournament. Top-side, Woodside goes to Daly City to face a 4-6 Jefferson squad. The winner there draws Ocean Division champion Aragon in a game to be played at Hillsdale High School on Wednesday night. Half Moon Bay awaits the winner of Hillsdale-South City.
The PAL tournament begins tonight with second round games Wednesday at the higher seed (low part of bracket). Quarternal games are Thursday at higher seed. The seminals and nals are Friday and Saturday at Sequoia High School in Redwood City. The girls nal is at 6 p.m. followed by boys at 7:30 p.m.

free agent rookie around Cuban defector, outelder Yoenis Cespedes. Let me get this straight: they cant afford to keep together an upand-coming starting rotation, shipping off starters Trevor Cahill and Gio Gonzalez, along with its closer and most of its bullpen. Then, they sign a talented but ultimately unknown quantity in Cespedes, paying him an average of $9 million a year for the next four years. Remember pitcher Ariel Prieto? He was the last Cuban the As signed back in the early 1990s. He came with a lot of hype and never lived up to it. I guess the good news is, if

staff a la Moses. As he runs back and forth in front of the student section, they follow him by waving their arms left and right. He then stops in the middle and slowly raises the staff over his head before driving it down forcefully. On cue, the student section splits right down the middle, with the students leaning left of right. In their crimson-colored shirts, its a parting of the red sea. It was really cool to see.
Cespedes lives up to expectations, the As could have a bona de star who they can then trade for prospects in a couple years. Or, if Cespedes is a bust with Oakland, his contract should be friendly enough that the As can move him for prospects. One way or another, dont expect this kid to be around Oakland long either.

-tation to the PALs version of the big dance this year that distinction belongs to the teams from Oceana of Pacica. But for everyone else, the basketball season continues for at least one more game. And the biggest difference this year is a the possible changing of the guard. In the boys bracket, Burlingame has been the gold standard in tournament play for the last four years theyre the only team in league history to win four straight tournament titles. But 2012 might be a different story. El Camino comes into this season tourney as the favorite following a 9-1 run through the Bay Division schedule including a pair of big wins against former champion Burlingame. By virtue of nishing third in the division, the Panthers avoid the Colts up until a possible match-up in the championship game, next Saturday at Sequoia High School. Mills is seeded second. Woodside, on the basis a great run near the end of the regular season, earned the No. 4 seed. The Colts have looked nearly unstoppable at times, with their Big3 seemingly getting better by the quarter Michael Smith is averaging 17 points per game, Elijah White is right behind him with 15.3 and Anthony Knight rounds it out with 11 per. As a team, El Camino is shooting nearly 46 percent from the oor.

Former Niner,Fabulous Freddie,dies

SAN FRANCISCO Freddie Solomon, the former Miami Dolphins and 49ers wide receiver who became known as Fabulous Freddie and committed himself to community service for decades, died Monday. He was 59. The 49ers announced the passing of Solomon, who lived in Florida and had battled cancer over the past year. He played on the first of the franchises four Super Bowl championship teams in the 1980s during an 11-year NFL career. The 49ers lost a member of our family today. Well miss you, Freddie Solomon, 49ers CEO Jed York posted on his Twitter account. The Dolphins selected Solomon in the second round of the 1975 draft out of the University of Tampa. He spent his rst three NFL seasons with Miami and his nal eight in San Francisco, nishing with 371 receptions for 5,846 yards and 48 touchdowns in 371 games. During his stint in San Francisco, Solomon also ran for 329 yards and three TDs as an important member of late Hall of Fame coach Bill Walshs West Coast offense. Freddie was very inuential to me and my career, and taught me about work ethic and professionalism. He inspired me to go out there every day and emulate him, Hall of Fame wideout Jerry Rice said. After his football career ended, Solomon worked for two decades in community relations with the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Ofce in Florida, where he mentored youth and taught vital life lessons through football fundamentals. Freddie Solomon was a dear friend and a great teammate, Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana said. There was no one who gave more on and off the eld than Freddie. The kindness he demonstrated was inspirational to all that knew him, and a joy to be around. The warmth of his smile will be forever imbedded in my mind and heart. Solomon was born on Jan. 11, 1953, in Sumter, S.C. He is survived by wife, Dee; mother, Bessie Ruth Solomon; brothers Richard, Oneal and Roger; and mother-in-law Mae Jeffers. Besides his accomplishments as a player, Freddie truly cared about his community, whether it was here in South Florida or in the Tampa Bay area where he had his roots, Dolphins vice president Nat Moore said in a statement. He was a kind and generous person, as exemplied by all of his charitable and civic deeds. Its a shame he passed away so young, and the Miami Dolphin organization extends its condolences to his family. Funeral services were scheduled for Friday at Saint Lawrence Church in Tampa, Fla.
Pavelski leads Sharks past Caps

Warriors burn out Suns

WASHINGTON Joe Pavelski had two goals and two assists against a goalie playing in the NHL for the rst time in nearly a year, leading the Sharks past the Capitals 5-3 Monday night, San Joses 16th victory in its last 17 games a g a i n s t Washington. P a t r i c k Marleau added two goals, and Brent Burns also on Joe Pavelski scored Braden Holtby, who was brought up from Hershey of the American Hockey League earlier Monday to make a surprise start for Washington something he hadnt done since last March. Washingtons No. 1 goalie, Tomas Vokoun, was ill, and No. 2 Michal Neuvirth played Sunday in a loss at the New York Rangers. Joe Thornton collected three assists for the Pacic Division-leading Sharks, and Thomas Greiss made 39 saves. San Jose had lost three of its previous four games. Washington has won only three of its last 11, a stretch of futility that not only dropped the Capitals out of
rst place in the Southeast Division but also pushed them below the top eight spots in the Eastern Conference. The first goal Greiss gave up came on rookie defenseman Dmitry Orlovs slap shot from just inside the blue line in the nal second of the second period. Both teams stayed on their benches while video was reviewed to conrm that the puck crossed the line before time ran out. By then, though, San Jose already led 3-0, thanks mainly to Pavelski. The Sharks went ahead 12:12 into the game on a bit of a uky score after going about eight minutes without even registering a single shot on goal. Indeed, they were coming off a power play during which the best chance and only ofcial shot for either team came when Capitals forward Brooks Laich bore down 1-on-1 during a short-handed breakaway but Greiss made the save. A little more than 1 1/2 minutes later, defenseman Dan Boyle struck a shot from beyond the red line. The puck deected off Pavelskis stick, bounced off the ice, then trickled off Holtbys glove and into the net to make it 1-0 for the visitors. Pavelski was credited with his 21st goal of the season. He got No. 22 in the second peri-
od on a far-more-usual goal, this time on the power play. With Laich in the penalty box for cross-checking, Logan Couture centered the puck right in front of the net for Pavelski, who lifted a shot over Holtbys glove and into the upper corner at the 3:26 mark of the second, making it 2-0. Pavelski was credited with an assist when his shot was redirected by Marleau at the 16:11 mark of the second period, when the puck appeared to hit Holtby in the right shoulder on its way past him. Third-period goals by Burns and Marleau put San Jose ahead 5-1, before defensemen Roman Hamrlik and Jeff Schultz scored for Washington in the last 9 1/2 minutes. NOTES: Capitals F Mike Knuble was a healthy scratch for the third consecutive game. ... In addition to Holtby, the Capitals also recalled F Joel Rechlicz from Hershey. He played and drew a 10-minute misconduct penalty in the second period. ... Sharks C Tommy Wingels returned to action. He had been on injured reserve with an upper body injury and hadnt played since Jan. 19. Well expect him to give us some fresh legs and some enthusiasm and a little bit of a spark, if you will, San Jose coach Todd McLellan said.
OAKLAND David Lee had 28 points and 12 rebounds, Monta Ellis scored 18 points and the Golden State Warriors earned their rst three-game winning streak under rookie coach Mark Jackson with a 102-96 victory David Lee over the Phoenix Suns on Monday night. Rookie Klay Thompson added 10 points and fellow reserve Ekpe Udoh had nine points, including a layup with 35.9 seconds remaining that extended Golden States lead to ve and capped a comeback from 12 points down in the second half. Marcin Gortat had 25 points and 12 rebounds, and Steve Nash handed out 14 assists for Phoenix, playing the rst of three games in three nights. The Suns face Denver on Tuesday before returning home against Atlanta on Wednesday. The suddenly surging Warriors are building momentum in unfamiliar fashion. Jackson gambled with smaller lineups reminiscent of NBA wins
leader and former Warriors coach Don Nelson for long stretches in the second half against the Suns longer and lankier front line. The move forced Phoenix to run big men Gortat and Channing Frye out on shooters, and Golden State shot its way back despite giving away size on defense. Jackson also leaned on his bench in the fourth quarter, and his substitutes nicknamed the Dubstitutes for their recent contributions late again rewarded his risk. Thompson hit a 3-pointer in the corner and fellow reserve Nate Robinson followed with another from beyond the arc to give Golden State a 94-84 lead with 5:43 remaining. Robinson finished with 11 points, but the Warriors went scoreless for more the next 5 minutes. The Suns sliced the decit to three after a 3-pointer from Markieff Morris, a layup by Gortat and a jumper by Grant Hill. Phoenix wasted several opportunities to tie or take the lead, and Golden State took advantage. Udoh blocked a layup attempt by Morris and came up even bigger on offense. Udoh, whose minutes eclipsed struggling starter Andris Biedrins again, nished a hard-driving layup through a crowd of defenders with 35.9 seconds to play.

As sign Cuban Yoenis Cespedes to four-year deal
Pac-12 breaks ground for television network

Yoenis Cespedes signed a four-year deal worst $36 million. His contract is the largest for a Cuban defector.
OAKLAND After a winter of rebuilding, the Oakland Athletics were the surprise winner for Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes. Cespedes and the As have agreed to a $36 million, four-year contract quite a splash for the low-budget franchise that traded away several key faces this offseason. Agent Adam Katz confirmed Monday the slugging outelder had reached agreement on a deal, with details still to be nalized. This is a signicant move for Oakland, which wanted to add a steady hitter. Cespedes will earn $6.5 million this year, $8.5 million in 2013 and $10.5 million in each of the nal two seasons. He can become a free agent at the end of the contract, which is the highest for a Cuban defector.
Cespedes deal tops Jose Contreras $32 million, four-year contract with the Yankees before the 2003 season. The As expect Cespedes to secure his P1 visa in the next couple of weeks, travel to the teams Arizona spring training site to take his physical and be ready to start training shortly thereafter. The team also still has interest in slugger Manny Ramirez. The As, hoping to be given clearance from Major League Baseball to relocate to San Jose and construct a new ballpark, have been in rebuilding mode this offseason. Oakland traded starting pitchers Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill and also All-Star closer Andrew Bailey. Cespedes toured the Miami Marlins new downtown ballpark last Wednesday, and appeared to
have other suitors, as well. In a surprising move, it was the As who made a splash and outbid some bigspending clubs. You dont land everybody you want to land. But I think weve been aggressive, Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest said. Were really happy with the way the club looks. You always have a sense of disappointment when youre trying to either trade for or sign a player. Its not the rst time and wont be the last. We would certainly wish him well. Cespedes played for Cuba in the 2009 World Baseball Classic and is projected to be ready for the majors. Cespedes said six teams were interested in signing him: the Marlins, Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland and the Chicago Cubs and White Sox.
SAN FRANCISCO Ronnie Lott and J.T. Snow helped put up a wall, Marshawn Lynch cleared space with a sledgehammer and the Pac-12 got started building the studios for its new television network. The conference held the groundbreaking for the Pac-12 networks in downtown San Francisco on Monday, about six months before it will hit the air with a national cable television network, six regional networks and a digital network. Its truly a seminal moment for the conference, Commissioner Larry Scott said at a ceremony featuring former great athletes from the conference, as well as San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee. Its an exciting time for college sports in general and theres no more exciting place to be than the Pac-12. Weve got a great dynamic and bold vision for the future of college sports and the future of our conference. This network is a major part of that. After reaching a 12-year contract worth about $3 billion last May with Fox and ESPN, Scott announced plans to launch a new conference-owned network to sup-
plement coverage and create more exposure for Pac-12 athletes. It will be a national network that will air 34 football games next season, at least 125 mens college basketball games, at least 40 womens basketball games and more than 650 Olympic sports events. The six regional networks will focus more on local schools, providing increased exposure to a conference that has often lacked it despite on-eld success. This is going to be an amazing opportunity for our student athletes, said Cal womens swimming coach Teri McKeever, a former AllAmerican at USC. There are wonderful world-class athletes in so many sports. With this network, well be able to showcase those stories and athletes and attract new fans to many sports they will be exposed to for the rst time. While the groundbreaking was an important step, there is still plenty of work to get done before the launch. About 100 more people need to be hired, infrastructure needs to be put in place to allow events to be broadcast from the campuses and a library of historic footage needs to be created.
Randy Moss eyes return

CHARLESTON, W.Va. Randy Moss once said, I play when I want to play. Six months after retiring, the veteran NFL wide receiver wants to play again. Moss announced on a webchat Monday his 35th birthday that hes planning a comeback. His agent, Joel Segal, wouldnt go into his clients available options. Randy and I have discussed it, Segal said of Moss coming out of retirement. He still has his re and
hes looking forward to playing football. Hes excited. Moss posted on his Twitter page: Now back to biz!! Theres good an bad an u have to b ready for both! its in gods hand now. Moss retired last August, compiling 14,858 receiving yards and 153 touchdowns in 13 seasons. He last played in 2010, getting traded by the New England Patriots to the Minnesota Vikings before nishing the season with Tennessee. That year he had career lows of 28 catches for 393 yards.

34 percent from now to 2017-18 but Muzzi said this is wrong because rents are based on Medi-Cal reimbursements which are expected to be flat. Groom called estimates of reimbursement rates probably premature because some changes are based on the success of the governors November tax initiative. Muzzi also dissects a laundry list of $1.63 million in potential capital improvement, maintenance and repair costs, concluding that many are unnecessary or dont fall under the countys responsibility. Adrienne Tissier, president of the Board of Supervisors, said its hard to know whose assessment is right or wrong but just knowing the facilitys age makes her believe upkeep will get more expensive over time. It doesnt mean its not a good building but if the opportunity arises to use something more modern we might as well take it, she said. Groom also said the only two knowns right now are that the building is old and that the county has the ground floor of its hospital available for use. At the last board meeting in which the supervisors took aim at the overall budget, throngs of residents, staff and family members asked for reconsideration of the closure plan. Through frequent tears and choked voices, they told the board of close relationships and having nowhere else to go. California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform and local ombudspeople urged the county to increase occupancy to the full 281 from its current 230 residents to add more funding. Some said the facility was acceptable and pleaded not be moved. Some were resigned to a new facility but asked that it be own department, former police chief Neil Telford suggested increasing staffing levels by 2.5 full-time equivalent employees a cost of $410,000 annually that would raise the number of employees to 32 FTEs. The sheriffs proposal included 15.98 FTEs including Millbraes own police chief. The $3.5 million original plan allowed for Millbraes sworn personnel to be accepted into the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office after a background check. The proposal called for eliminating a police captain/commander/lieutenant position, cutting in half the number of sergeants and reducing the number of officers and deputies from 14 to eight, according to Telford. It adds a records clerk but does not discuss a crime analyst, special service coordinator or communications/records manager. Most non-sworn personnel would be transferred to similar positions. The proposal was altered late last year, increasing the number of employees to meet community concerns making the annual cost $4.56 million. In the first year, the city is a unit at the San Mateo Medical Center rather than nursing homes out of the area or even out of the state. The current proposal calls for reopening hospital wing Unit 1B with an extra 32 beds but Health System Director Jean Frasier has said she wants to keep those available for short-term patients coming from the hospital rather than the long-term residents of Burlingame Long Term Care. Many of the speakers at the last meeting asked the board to approve opening the entire 96-bed wing and Groom said some of her questions today will be specifically about that possibility and also the number of other facilities available countywide. How many are long-term care? How many are assisted living? How many are places purely for dementia? she asked. Id like an inventory then have more time to make that decision. Groom prefers not to place anyone outside of San Mateo County although she concedes it may be an unrealistic goal. The long lead time between the vote and lease expiration next year makes it more likely residents wont need moving very far and the Health System will try placing them as close as possible to where they want to live, said Health System spokeswoman Robyn Thaw. Although she wants information on the hospital wings capacity, Groom does not believe a vote will be taken Tuesday on just how many beds will be made available. Tissier also said the two discussions will be separate. I understand how traumatic this is for residents and for family members. I really want to be sensitive to that and make sure I estimated to save $1.693 million with costs increasing in years to come. The initial savings is lower since it includes additional costs to the city such as radios and a uniform allowance. Millbrae will be given credit for some equipment while charged for other. Ultimately, the difference is an additional cost to Millbrae of $26,808, Police Chief Mark Raffaelli wrote in a staff report. Under the agreement with the police officers, employees will receive a one-time $700 allowance for uniforms and an offer of six-month severance pay, about $48,907.30 per employee, for those who are not hired by the county, according to a staff report by City Manager Marcia Raines. Officers and sergeants hired by the county will be employed at the rank of deputy; years of service will be considered for calculating vacation, promotions, leaves and longevity benefits; and the city will cash out things like vacation and compensatory time off while offering an option to transfer a certain number of hours to the county. Lastly,

Health Services which put the facility into receivership because the operator faced bankruptcy. The county stepped in rather than risk patients being shipped as far away as Oregon. At the time, officials originally projected generating $1 million annually after bailing out the facility with millions in loans. That never happened and now they say the county will lose $9 million by renewing the lease. The Health System also points to a July 2011 civil grand jury recommendation the county cut ties with the facility which sparked Funks hiring. Muzzi said he isnt worried about his and his brothers own livelihood if the board follows through on the closure recommendation although finding a new tenant is far from a cakewalk. Instead, hes concerned about a decision made on poor information, long-term residents being uprooted and the county-run facility being replaced with a private provider that may not house the number of needy Medi-Cal patients that current live in Burlingame Long Term Care. For instance, Muzzi said that the building was completed in 1970 rather than 1963, as Funk wrote, and that it is in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act provisions for existing facilities. Muzzi may very well be right but the bottom line in choosing whether to renew is the very expensive lease price, said Supervisor Carole Groom. Funk estimated the lease will increase by
understand the plan clearly before making a decision, Groom said. Aside from patients, the closure will likely also lead to staff layoffs. The facility has 200 filled staff positions and there are current vacancies in the Health System for some but not all. The Health System cant make any moves toward placing the residents or staff until after the boards vote but Thaw said a transition team is in place and ready to go as soon as a decision is made. If the board favors letting the lease expire, the next step is state approval of a transition plan and assessing each resident to identity the best placement, Thaw said. The county is also looking at approximately $9 million in one-time transition costs, including severance and moving expenses, if the board does not extend the lease. The hospitals cost per adjusted patient day cost will also increase from $900 to $920.

last week the city and the Millbrae Police Officers Association reached an agreement to transfer law enforcement services. Both agreements go before the City Council Tuesday in hopes of officially transferring services at 12:01 a.m. Monday, March 5. Robert Raw, Millbrae Police Officers Association president, said the employees didnt get everything they wanted but the city was fair. And the agreement will provide employees a new position as well as the money needed to meet their individual family needs, he said. The citys current annual budget for the department is $4.258 million. When the budget is changed to include vehicles, safety equipment, overhead costs and other costs, the annual budget is raised to $7.27 million. Should the city want to maintain its

Millbrae discussed banning single-use carryout bags from five grocery stores and supermarkets in town last year but expanded the law, at the direction of the council, to include all retail businesses. As proposed, about 50 businesses will be affected. In January, the council held a public hearing and adopted a negative declaration of environmental impact. If approved during a second reading, the rules would go into effect Sept. 1. The council meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 14 at Millbrae City Hall, 621 Magnolia Ave., Millbrae.

Trimming super-size with half-orders

By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON Call it the alter-ego of super-sizing. Researchers inltrated a fast-food Chinese restaurant and found up to a third of diners jumped at the offer of a half-size of the usual heaping pile of rice or noodles even when the smaller amount cost the same. Giant portion sizes are one of the culprits behind the epidemic of bulging waistlines, and nowhere is the portion-creep more evident than in restaurants with French fry-heavy meal deals or plates overowing with pasta. Now scientists are tapping into the psychology of eating to nd ways to trim portions without people feeling cheated focusing on everything from the starchy sides to the color of the plates. The small Coke now is what used to be a large 15 years ago, laments psychologist Janet Schwartz, a marketing professor at Tulane University who led the Chinese food study. We should ask people what portion size they want, instead of large being the default. Restaurants are paying close attention, says prominent food-science researcher Brian Wansink of Cornell University. His own tests found children were satised with about half the fries in their Happy Meal long before McDonalds cut back the size, and the calories, last year. Well be seeing some very creative ways of down-sizing in the next couple of years, predicts Wansink, author of Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think. But lets call it right-sizing, says Duke University behavioral economist Dan Ariely. Right-size suggests its a good portion, not a cut, he says. Couldnt you just get a doggie bag? Sure, if youve got the
the mix of customers. Even 200 fewer calories can add up over time. And other tricks can trim portions without people noticing, whether dining out or at home. Cornells Wansink found people served 18 percent more pasta with marinara sauce onto a red plate than a white one and 18 percent more pasta alfredo onto a white plate. A stark contrast makes you think twice before you throw on another scoop, explains Wansink. His own family bought some dark dinner plates to supplement their white ones, because people tend to overeat white starches more than veggies.
Wansinks other research has found:

Switching from 11-inch plates to 10-inch plates makes people take less food, and waste less food. The slightly smaller plate makes a normal serving look more satisfying. People think theyre drinking more from a tall skinny glass than a short wide one even if both hold the same volume, a nding Wansink says was widely adopted by bars. Beware if kids eat from the adult bowls. He found 6-year-olds serve themselves 44 percent more food in an 18-ounce bowl than a 12ounce bowl. Restaurants are starting to get the message that at least some customers want to eat more sensibly. Applebees, for example, has introduced a line of meals under 550 calories, including such things as steak. And a National Restaurant Association survey found smallerportion entrees, mini-meals for adults and kids, and bite-size desserts made a new trend list. Its all consumer demand, says association nutrition director Joy Dubost: More diners now are requesting the healthier options and paying attention to their calories.

willpower to stop before your plate is mostly clean. Lots of research shows Americans dont. We tend to rely on visual cues about how much food is left, shoveling it in before the stomach-to-brain signal of hey wait, Im getting full can arrive. So Schwartz and Ariely tested a different approach: Could we limit our own temptation if we focus not on the tastiest reason we visited a restaurant the entree but on the side dishes? After all, restaurants can pile on calorie-dense starches like rice or pasta or fries because theyre very inexpensive, lling the plate so it looks like a good deal, Schwartz says. A popular Chinese franchise at Duke University, with a mix of students, staff and visitors to the campus hospital, allowed the researchers in at lunchtime. In the serving line, customers pick the rice or noodles rst. The standard serving is a whopping 10 ounces, about 400 calories even before ordering the entree, says Schwartz. There was no half-size option on the menu board. In a series of experiments, servers asked 970 customers after their initial rice or noodle order: Would you like a half-order to save 200 calories? Those who said yes didnt order a higher-calorie entree to compensate. Weighing leftovers showed they threw away the same amount of food as customers who refused or werent offered the option. A 25-cent discount didnt spur more takers. Nor did adding calorie labels so people could calculate for themselves, the researchers report in this months journal Health Affairs concluding the up-front offer made the difference. Anywhere from 14 percent to 33 percent chose the reduced portions, depending on the day and

Many adults over 50 have fake knees

By Lindsey Tanner
Injured boomers beware: Know when to see doctor

By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO Nearly 1 in 20 Americans older than 50 have articial knees, or more than 4 million people, according to the rst national estimate showing how common these replacement joints have become in an aging population. Doctors know the number of knee replacement operations has surged in the past decade, especially in baby boomers. But until now, there was no good x on the total number of people living with them. The estimate is important because it shows that a big segment of the population might need future knee-related care, said Dr. Daniel Berry, president of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and chairman of orthopedic surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. He was not involved in the research. People with knee replacements sometimes develop knee infections or scar tissue that require additional treatment. But also, even articial knees wear out, so as the operations are increasingly done on younger people, many will live long enough to almost certainly need a second or even third knee replacement. The new estimate comes in an analysis being presented Friday at the academys annual meeting in San Francisco. These data are sobering because we didnt know what an army of people weve created over the last decade, said Elena Losina, lead author of the analysis and co-director of the Orthopedics and Arthritis Center for Outcomes Research at Harvards Brigham and Womens Hospital. The numbers will only increase, based on current trends. Replacement joints can greatly improve quality of life for people with worn-out knees, but theyre not risk-free and its a major operation that people should not take lightly, she said. Modern knee replacements in the United States date back to the 1970s. Since then, advances in materials and techniques, including imaging scans to create better-tting joints, have made the
CHICAGO It happened to nurse Jane Byron years after an in-line skating fall, business owner Haralee Weintraub while doing mens push-ups, and avid cyclist Gene Wilberg while lifting a heavy box. It is that pop, strain or suddenly swollen joint that reminds active older adults they arent as young as theyd like to think. Even among the ttest baby boomers, aging bodies just arent as nimble as young ones, and theyre more prone to minor damage that can turn serious if ignored or denied. But not every twist or turn needs medical attention, and knowing when its OK to self-treat pays off in the long run, in dollars and in health. Costly knee replacements have more than tripled in people aged 45-64 in recent years and a study released last week found that nearly 1 in 20 Americans older than 50 have these articial joints. But active boomers can avoid that kind of drastic treatment by properly managing aches and pains. Injuries that need immediate treatment cause excruciating, unrelenting pain, or force you to immediately stop your activity and prevent normal motion. Examples are a swollen, bent elbow that wont straighten, or a knee that collapses when you try to stand, said Dr. Charles Bush-Joseph, a sports medicine specialist at Chicagos Rush University Medical Center. Treatment for more run-of-the mill activity-related injuries is less clear-cut. A good rule of thumb for lower-body injuries is this: If youre able to bear weight, its safe to self-treat, at least initially. Even if taking a few steps is painful, just being able to put weight on an injury means its probably not a medical emergency, Bush-Joseph said. The key for most injuries is what happens over the next two to three days. If things start to improve less pain, more range of motion then theres often no need to see a doctor. But if pain or swelling dont subside with self-help, then its time to make an appointment.
Common injuries in active boomers include:

implants more durable and lifelike, surgeons say. Losina and colleagues came up with their estimate by analyzing national data on the number of knee replacements done from 1998-2009, U.S. census data, death statistics and national health surveys. For example, in 2009, more than 600,000 knee replacement operations were done nationwide. The study estimate includes people who had knee replacement operations that year and in previous years who are still living. Overall, 4.5 million Americans are living with articial knees. That includes Tendinitis painful inamed tendons in the elbow, shoulder or knee. The condition is often caused by repetitive action, such as swinging a golf club or tennis racket, especially when not using the proper form.

1999 fall while in-line skating. Byron had never been in pain nor sought treatment for that injury until the swelling began. She had the cartilage surgically repaired and injections of lubricant medicine for knee arthritis. But she continued rigorous workouts right up until 2010, when she developed hip pain, probably from walking funny to favor her bum knee. By then she needed both knees replaced, but a physical therapist told her that being so t would speed her recovery. Within a week after both surgeries, she was back riding an indoor bike. Overdoing it can aggravate minor injuries, but abandoning activity isnt a good solution, either, because exercise has so many health benets, said Dr. Steven Haas, an orthopedic specialist at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. Instead, make sure youre well-conditioned and listen to your body, Haas said. Switching to less rigorous activities is sometimes the answer. If your knee is killing you every day after you run, youre probably not doing the right sport. Haralee Weintraub, 58, changed her exercise routine after injuring her back during a bootcamp class at her gym two years ago. The rst time it happened, the Portland, Ore., online business owner was doing full-out toe mens push-ups. A few months later the same thing happened during leg squats pain that started in her lower back and shot down her leg. Because it was hard to stand, she went both times to the doctor, who diagnosed sciatica, operations in that age group are expected to increase. According to the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, knee replacements tripled in people ages 45 to 64 between 1997 and 2009. Doctors think two trends have contributed to that increase: the nations obesity epidemic and amateur athletes who dont adjust workouts to spare aging or even injured joints. Both can lead to or worsen arthritis, the main reason for replacing knees. Donna Brent, 63, is in the latter category. The Deereld, Ill., administrative assistant says decades of racket ball, tennis, softball common nerve pain likely caused by an aging disc in her lower back, and by overuse. A physical therapist had her do exercises to strengthen muscles in her abdomen and near the sciatic nerve in her back, and leg exercises to stretch the buttocks gluteal muscles. Weintraub has switched to gentler girls knee push-ups and stopped doing lunges. But she still likes to snowshoe, bicycle, hike and walk, and is determined to stay t. Hopefully Ill have another 25 years of activity and not be compromised with physical mobility issues, she said. Unlike Weintraub, Gene Wilberg tried to tough out his injury, which probably prolonged his recovery. The tip-off that he should have gotten treatment sooner was persistent pain that interfered with his usual activities. The 62-year-old Naperville, Ill., business consultant was helping his daughter move into an apartment two years ago when he felt a sudden pain in his upper right arm while lifting a box. The pain persisted and made it difcult to twist open jars and pursue hobbies including cycling 15-plus miles a week and skiing. He eventually just stopped using that arm. After a few months Wilberg went to the doctor, who found a partial bicep tendon tear in his upper arm. Surgery was a possibility, but Wilberg wanted to try physical therapy instead. It took about four months to get his arm back in shape, lifting light dumbbells and using resistance bands. Wilberg says he was told not using his arm had allowed the muscles to atrophy. If you wait too long, sometimes you actualand other sports took a toll on her knees, but she got used to living with the pain, even when she became bowlegged and developed a limp. When pain started getting in the way of some of my sports, she gave in to her doctors advice and had the operation last June on her right knee. She said she feels better than ever, is back to exercising and plans to resume tennis and softball when the weather warms up.

ly just end up delaying your overall recovery and adding to the cost of medical treatment, said Nathan Sels, Weintraubs physical therapist. Rob Landel, a physical therapist and professor at the University of Southern California, says many of his baby boomer patients try to cram all their exercise and activity into a weekend but do nothing during the week to prepare. That puts extra stress on bodies and raises chances for injuries. So, for example, for those who like to go on long weekend runs, he recommends treadmill sessions or short jogs during the week, or other leg-strengthening exercises. Theres growing evidence that stretching right before an activity can hurt your performance, Landel said. After a run or tennis match is a better time to stretch, when muscles are warmed up. And routinely doing stretching and strengthening exercises during the week helps keep muscles strong and limber. Landel knows that from personal experience. Hes 53 and has painful tendinitis in both knees from playing volleyball for more than 30 years. That sometimes makes it difcult to get up and down on oor mats while helping patients with treatment. Its kind of embarrassing working with patients and you have to kind of crawl up the furniture to stand up. If I just exercise my legs, then I dont have those problems, Landel said. Leg presses and other exercise that build up strength reduce his pain, and help his volleyball game, too, he said. days in the hospital, and cost roughly $40,000. Articial knees generally last 15 to 20 years. While some are promoted as lasting 30 years, these estimates are generally based on use among older people more sedentary than baby boomers who expect new knees to let them be as active as they were before surgery. Sometimes thats possible, though doctors often discourage knee replacement patients from engaging in high-impact sports including jogging. The National Institute of Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases paid for the study.

Tears to the meniscus, cartilage that cushions the knee but that becomes more brittle with age and prone to injury, especially from sudden twisting. Tears often cause a pop sensation and a feeling like the knee is catching while walking. Back pain, often from arthritis or aging discs in the lower spine. Impact exercise including running, and using the back instead of leg muscles to lift heavy weights can contribute. Most can be treated with things like ice to curb swelling immediately after the injury, hot pads or other heat treatment for pain, over-thecounter painkillers, and rest. In some ways, Jane Byron exemplies the best and worst ways to handle those injuries. At 51, the New York City cancer nurse is a self-described exercise maniac.

For pregnant women with cancer, chemo possible

By Maria Cheng
LONDON Researchers have encouraging news for women who nd themselves in a very frightening situation: having cancer while pregnant. Studies suggest that these women can be treated almost the same as other cancer patients are, with minimal risk to the fetus. Only about 1 in 1,000 pregnant women face this dilemma, but doctors fear that more will because the risk of cancer rises with age, and more women are delaying having children until theyre older. Doctors have long worried about how to balance treating a pregnant woman with cancer and the need to protect her fetus from the effects of toxic cancer drugs and radiation treatments, and whether it is safe to continue a pregnancy in certain situations. A series of papers in the journals Lancet and Lancet Oncology published Friday make several key contributions: A Belgian-led study of 70 children in Europe exposed to chemotherapy while they were in the womb found they developed just as well as other children, according to tests on their hearts, IQ and general health. They were assessed at birth, 18 months, and every few years until age 18. Chemotherapy after the rst trimester is possible, using extra ultrasounds to ensure the baby is developing properly. Radiation therapy is best done in the rst two trimesters, when the baby is small enough to be covered with a lead blanket, according to a review of previous studies, led by Belgian researchers. Ending the pregnancy doesnt improve chances for the mother, the same study found. The type of cancer seems to matter: An Israeli analysis of past research suggested pregnant women with blood cancers might want to terminate an early pregnancy when chemotherapy cant be delayed. Another review of previous studies by French and American researchers concluded doctors should aim to preserve pregnancy in women with cervical or ovarian cancers where possible. Many (doctors) arent keen to give chemotherapy to pregnant women and may
lems were born premature, and that was probably the primary cause of their delayed development. Doctors will often err on the side of caution and deliver a baby early to avoid the effects of chemotherapy, said Dr. Catherine Nelson-Piercy, an obstetric physician and spokeswoman for Britains Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. These data dont say that chemotherapy is completely safe, but the baby is better off being in (the mother) as long as possible, she said. Nelson-Piercy was not linked to the Lancet series and often works with pregnant women diagnosed with cancer or other illnesses. Dr. Richard Theriault, a professor of medicine at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas, said he hoped the papers would change how doctors treat pregnant cancer patients. Terminating a pregnancy is not always necessary, said Theriault, who heads a program to treat pregnant women with cancer. He said a minority of pregnant women with cancer still get abortions. He said the placenta seems to act as a kind of lter for chemotherapy drugs, restricting their effects on the fetus. Theres the phenomenon of the bald mother who gives birth to a baby with a full head of hair, he said. It seems to suggest not as much gets to the baby as we thought. That was certainly Caroline Swains experience, who was diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant with her second son. She had her left breast and many lymph nodes removed and had to wait until her fetus was 12 weeks old before starting chemotherapy. I was just so grateful it was possible to have treatment and keep my baby, said Swain, 45, who lives near London. I was scared that my child wouldnt remember me if something happened to me. Her son Luke, now 9, weighed in at 7.4 pounds (3.35 kilograms) when he was born, Doctors have long worried about how to balance treating a pregnant woman with cancer and the need to protect her fetus from the effects of toxic cancer drugs and radiation treatments, only slightly lighter than his older brother Max a year earlier. and whether it is safe to continue a pregnancy in certain situations. We had celebrations all around when Luke even recommend termination, said Dr. cancer doesnt have to be so different from came out absolutely ne, Swain said of her Frederic Amant of the Leuven Cancer treating a cancer patient who isnt pregnant. and her husband Rowlands relief at the birth.

White House attacks contraception bills

WASHINGTON The White House said Monday legislation in the Senate that would give employers broad leeway to restrict coverage for contraception is dangerous and wrong. Press secretary Jay Carney took aim at legislation by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. a possible GOP vice presidential candidate and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., that would allow any employer to deny birth control coverage if it runs counter to their religious or moral beliefs. Another bill, by Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., would go even further by allowing health plans to deny coverage for any service that violates their beliefs. Both approaches are far more expansive than allowing conscience protections just for
churches and church-affiliated employers. President Barack Obama stirred up the issue recently by trying to get religious-afliated employers like Catholic hospitals to provide free birth control coverage to their employees. The president bowed to intense opposition last week and declared that such coverage would be provided by insurance companies instead. Carney said both the Rubio and Blunt bills take absolutely the wrong approach. He said its vital for women no matter where they work to have access to free preventive care, including birth control. Alex Conant, spokesman for Rubio, responded that, The Obama administration is willing to violate religious liberties with its federal takeover of health care. Its clear that legislation is needed to protect these important constitutional freedoms from federal overreach.

Bombers target Israeli diplomats in India,Georgia

By Ravi Nessman and Josef Federman
REUTERS
A forensic ofcial, left, takes pictures of a damaged Israeli embassy car after an explosion in New Delhi,India.
NEW DELHI Israel blamed Iran on Monday for bomb attacks on its diplomats cars in India and Georgia, heightening concerns that the Jewish state was moving closer to striking its archenemy. Iran denied responsibility for the attacks that appeared to mirror the recent killings of Iranian nuclear scientists that Tehran blamed on Israel. The blast in New Delhi set a car ablaze and injured four people, including an Israeli Embassy driver and a diplomats wife; the device in Georgia was discovered and safely defused. Iran is behind these attacks and it is the largest terror exporter in the world, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told lawmakers from his Likud Party. The violence added further tension to one of the globes most contentious standoffs. Iran has been accused of developing a nuclear weapons program that Israel says threatens the existence of the Jewish state. Tehran says progress, Thomas took clearly observable and intentional measures to delay and obstruct the ofcers attempts to verify his assertions, Norris said. Thomas, however, said he was being cooperative. He was arrested once when he was 18 for resisting arrest while skateboarding, he said, so he had some experience with being cuffed. They asked me if they could search the warehouse and I said no. Because I locked the door, the scene escalated, Thomas said. I was actually thanking them for being so vigilant in wanting to protect my business. He said police then got aggressive with him, slamming him against a metal door before cufng him. They cranked the cuffs pretty hard, said the partygoer, who was sitting two feet from Thomas when he was cuffed. He was screaming so loud. I never heard him scream like that before. Thomas said it was the most pain Ive felt in my whole life. It felt like they were trying to pop out my shoulder. Thomas ended up at San Mateo Police Department headquarters at about 2 a.m. Sunday morning and was read his rights there, he said. He was then charged with obstruction of justice. We dont arrest anyone without probable cause, Norris said. Paramedics were also called to the police station to check up on Thomas, who suffered engaging. And allowing students the chance to prep before the talk and drive conversation engages the kind of learning opportunities the CLC tries to encourage, he said. Sibrack added one student said having the eld trip in class allowed her to focus more. Vidyo, Inc. brought the technology to make the virtual eld trip possible.

its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. Comments by Israeli ofcials in recent weeks have raised fears Israel might be preparing to strike Iranian nuclear facilities. While Israel says it hopes that international sanctions can curb Irans nuclear program, leaders pointedly note that all options are on the table and have warned that as Iran moves closer to weapons capability, time is running out for action. Fearing an Israeli attack could set off a conict across the region and send oil prices skyrocketing, U.S. and other Western countries have been pressing Israel to give sanctions more time. Israeli military analyst Reuven Pedatzur said Mondays action was unlikely to have any bearing on whether Israel attacks Iran, calling it an isolated incident with rather low impact. The attackers in India and Georgia appeared to have used sticky bombs attached to cars by magnets, similar to weapons used against Irans nuclear ofcials. Netanyahu said Israel had thwarted attacks in recent months in Azerbaijan and Thailand and unspecified other countries. some lacerations on his wrist. He also went to the hospital on his own Sunday for X-rays. He was prescribed an anti-inammatory and said he still has numbness in his hand. Since he is facing criminal charges, Thomas will hire a lawyer. He will wait until after the criminal case concludes, however, to decide whether to seek any civil damages against the police department. You know, I grew up here, Thomas said about the Palm Avenue garage. I learned to ride a tricycle here. We host chamber events here. Since the incident, I havent slept more than four hours. My mind has been racing. Should I have just let the police search my warehouse? Thomas ultimate goal is to have the charges against him dropped. The unnamed partygoer said it appeared police were doing their jobs at rst until Thomas threw the key and escalated the situation. Thomas was ultimately arrested for delaying and obstructing law enforcement in the performance of their duties, Norris said. Thomas also physically resisted arrest. He faces a misdemeanor citation and the case has been forwarded to the District Attorneys Ofce for prosecution. Thomas birthday is actually tomorrow.

THOMAS
The ofcer felt that reasonable suspicion existed that a crime might be afoot and he stopped to investigate. The ofcer asked a few questions, including whether the owner approved of the party and was told it was actually held in the owners honor, according to the partygoer, who wished to remain anonymous. The ofcer then located Thomas who, at the moment of contact, could not prove he was the owner of the MB Garage building because his wallet with identication and business cards in it was in a hoodie somewhere in the warehouse, Thomas told the Daily Journal yesterday. MB leases space to California Smog & Go. The ofcer then had the group, about 10, all take a seat in front of the mechanics shop while he called for backup, Thomas said. Thomas did not provide anything other than verbal identication, and claimed that he was the owner of the building, Norris said, adding he appeared extremely nervous and was not fully cooperating with ofcers. Thomas and others at the party, including Veronica Roberts, said about six patrol cars and several ofcers arrived at the garage to make sure the group actually belonged there and was not in the middle of burglarizing the
shop, Thomas said. The police tried to investigate that there was not a crime occurring, Norris said. Police told the Daily Journal yesterday that alcohol was not a factor in his arrest. Thomas, an avid skateboarder, was wearing a Thrasher skateboard hat at the party and was asked by one ofcer how someone so young could be the owner, Thomas told the Daily Journal. His father, Larry Ross Thomas, was MBs original owner but since his death six years ago, the younger Thomas has taken over ownership responsibilities. The cop asked me on your person do you have proof of ownership, Thomas said. He also asked me for tax ID forms. I thought it an odd request. Painted on the front of the building is a sign that reads Larry Ross Thomas Bldg. Thomas then made a move that could have caused him the most trouble, he pulled out his key and locked the door to the shop and then allegedly threw it into a nearby dumpster, according to the unnamed partygoer. Once that happened, police immediately attempted to put handcuffs on Thomas who may have offered some resistance, the partygoer said. It was Thomas lack of cooperation and level of deterrence that got him arrested, Norris said. Upon the ofcers further attempt to investigate and determine whether a crime was in during the day. But most of the conversation was driven by student questions. Its a great opportunity to talk with a professional in the science eld at a college level, said Sibrack, who is an educator of fth and sixth grade students in language arts and science at Charter Learning Center. Christopher Mahoney, director of the San Carlos Charter Learning Center, was unsure if the virtual eld trip would appeal to students. But after chatting with students, he realizes they use this kind of technology so much it is

While students enjoyed learning about poisonous bugs and the tasty chocolate-covered critters, they became very excited to show the class collection of bugs with the scientists.

BEVERLY HILLS Whitney Houston was underwater and apparently unconscious when she was pulled from a Beverly Hills hotel bathtub, and she had prescription drugs in her room, authorities said Monday. The regal pop stars family made arrangements to y her body home to New Jersey for a funeral at the end of the week. Authorities said that there were no indications of foul play and no obvious signs of trauma on Houstons body but that it could be weeks before the coroners ofce completes toxicology tests to establish the cause of death. The 48year-old singer had struggled for years with cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her behavior had become erratic. Houston was found underwater Saturday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel by a member of her staff about 3:30 p.m., hours before she was supposed to appear at a pre-Grammy Awards gala, police Lt. Mark Rosen said. She was pulled from the tub by members of her staff, and hotel security was promptly notied, Rosen said. She was pronounced dead about a half-hour later. As of right now, its not a criminal investigation, Rosen said, refusing to release further details. We have concluded our portion of the investigation at the hotel. Los Angeles coroners assistant chief Ed Winter said there were bottles of prescription medicine in the room. He would not give details except to say: There werent a lot of prescription bottles. You probably have just as many prescription bottles in your medicine cabinet. The coroners ofce released the body to the family late Monday morning. Two people who spoke with Houstons family said the singer would be taken to New Jersey. The two, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they werent authorized to speak for the family, said Houstons family raised the possibility of a wake Thursday and a funeral Friday at Newarks Prudential Center, an arena that can seat about 18,000. Houston was born in Newark and raised in nearby East Orange. She began singing as a child at Newarks New Hope Baptist Church, where her mother, Grammy-winning gospel singer Cissy Houston, led the music program for many years. The White House said President Barack Obamas thoughts and prayers were with Houstons family, especially her daughter. Press secretary Jay Carney

LOS ANGELES Sundays Grammy Awards telecast made sweet music in the ratings, delivering for CBS its largest audience since 1984 and beating last years viewership by 50 percent. More than 39.9 million viewers ocked to the broadcast, making it the second most-watched Grammys in history, according to preliminary Nielsen Co. figures released Monday. That exceeds last years Oscars broadcast, which was seen by 37.6 million viewers. paid tribute to the singers immense talent and called it a tragedy to lose somebody so gifted at such a young age. Houstons death is a sad rewind of what befell Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse. It took three months for a London coroner to rule that Winehouse drank herself to death last July. A powerful anesthetic was quickly linked to Jacksons June 2009 death. Three months ago, Jacksons doctor was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. Houstons death tinged the Grammy ceremonies with sadness. It also probably boosted viewership, which was 50 percent higher than last year, with nearly 40 million viewers tuning in to the
Helping stoke interest in this years Grammys broadcast was recording sensation Adele, who emerged as the nights big winner with six trophies. Her album, 21, was by far the years best seller and one of its most critically acclaimed. But the broadcast was an attentiongetter not only for the awards dispensed but also for its role as a memorial to Whitney Houston, a six-time past winner. The superstar singer died unexpectedly Saturday, just hours before she was supposed to appear at a pre-Grammy gala. program on CBS. A sensation from her first album, Houston was one of the worlds bestselling artists from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, turning out such hits as I Wanna Dance With Somebody, How Will I Know, The Greatest Love of All and I Will Always Love You. But as she struggled with drugs, her majestic voice became raspy, and she couldnt hit the high notes. Mourners left owers, balloons and candles at the wrought-iron fence around the tall brick Newark church where she got her start. It sits near an abandoned housing project and the train line leading to New York City.
Independent group inspecting Apple suppliers

By Peter Svensson
NEW YORK Apple said Monday that an independent group, the Fair Labor Association, has started inspecting working conditions in the Chinese factories where its iPads and iPhones are assembled. Amid growing criticism over labor and environmental practices especially in China Apple, last month, disclosed a list of suppliers for its popular gadgets for the rst time. The FLA team began the inspections Monday morning at Foxconn City in Shenzhen, China, Apple said Monday. The complex employs and houses hundreds of thousands of workers. Foxconn, a unit of Taiwans Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. employs an estimated 1 million to 1.1 million people in China at a series of huge factory campuses. Foxconn assembles iPads and iPhones for Apple, Xbox 360 gaming consoles for Microsoft and other gadgets for companies including Hewlett-Packard and Dell. In 2010, there was a rash of suicides at
Foxconns Shenzhen plant. Plant managers installed nets to prevent more people from committing suicide by jumping from the roof. A May explosion at the companys Chengdu, China, plant killed three people and injured 15. A New York Times story published Jan. 26 reported on accidents and long hours in Foxconn factories, based on workers accounts. Foxconn disputed allegations of back-toback shifts and crowded living conditions. Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple has been conducting its own audits of working conditions at factories where its gadgets are assembled since 2006. A month ago, it took the additional step of joining Washington-based FLA, a group of companies and universities focused on improving labor practices. Apple, the most valuable company in the world, is the rst technology company to become a member. It committed, at the time, to have the FLA inspect its suppliers, who have pledged full cooperation. The FLA plans to interview thousands of employees at several Apple suppliers about working and living condi-
tions. The audits will cover facilities where more than 90 percent of Apple products are assembled. The FLAs ndings and recommendations will begin to be posted on www.fairlabor.org in early March. Apples sales have zoomed even as working conditions at its suppliers have drawn more attention. In the October to December quarter, it sold 37 million iPhones, 15 million iPads and 15 million iPhones. Consumer activism site Change.org gathered 200,000 signatures for a petition to ask Apple to protect workers around the time of new product releases, when the workload spikes. Activists handdelivered printouts of the signatures to Apple stores last week, but the group has stopped short of arranging protest gatherings or calling for a boycott. Meanwhile, investors keep bidding up the companys shares in the wake of the companys staggering sales and prot over its holiday quarter. Apples stock surpassed $500 for the rst time Monday, giving the company a market capitalization of $465 billion.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2012 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Its never a good day
to get involved in the financial affairs of friends, especially if youre asked to play the role of a banker. Its one of the quickest ways to break up a relationship. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Guard against talking about important things as if youve already accomplished them. It could cause you to be unrealistic about the chore at hand and let down your game just when you need to be driving to the hoop. ARIES (March 21-April 19) There are two means of thinking that could hold you back: one is nursing self-defeating thoughts and the other is repeating a
mistake that youve made over and over again. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Dont pry too deeply into a friends personal affairs, because you could uncover something juicy that you wouldnt be able to resist telling others about. Mind your own beeswax. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be extremely careful about whom you choose to go to for advice; sometimes the people you like the most dont have all the answers. Make sure your adviser knows what he or she is talking about. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You should take care not to jump to conclusions when you dont have all the facts. Any decisions you make will be flawed if the information theyre based on is worthless.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Theres a good possibility that you will be prone to taking risks both financially and otherwise, just because you want a long shot to pan out. This is no time to be an optimist. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Neither you nor your mate are likely to be very good at keeping promises made to one another. Be careful not to pledge something that you dont know how to make good on. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Avoid participating in office gossip and workplace scuttlebutt. Word might get back to the boss that youre the big mouth who is causing all the discontent. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Be extremely protective of your belongings and resources. Any carelessness
on your part, such as leaving things unattended or out in the open even in a locked car will lead to a regrettable loss. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Theres a chance that you could be kind to undeserving people in hopes of changing them, while being tight with those who are generous and giving. Reverse that. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Although usually you base your evaluations on logic and practicality, you might ignore these factors and go with what suits you at the moment. This could prove to be quite unwise. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Syrian rebels repel attack on key town

By Bassem Mroue
BEIRUT Syrian rebels repelled a push Monday by government tanks into a central town held by forces ghting President Bashar Assads regime in an 11-month conict that looks increasingly like a civil war. The military pressed its offensive on Rastan a day after the regime rejected Arab League calls for the U.N. to create a peacekeeping force in Syria and for an end to the violent crackdown on dissent. Damascus called the League initiative a agrant interference in (Syrias) internal affairs and an infringement upon national sovereignty. With diplomatic efforts bogged down, the conict is taking on the dimensions of a civil war, with army defectors clashing almost daily with soldiers. The rebels have taken control of small swathes of territory in central Homs province, where Rastan is located, and the northwestern province of Idlib, which borders Turkey. The Britain-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least three government soldiers were killed in the attempt to storm Rastan, which has been held by the rebels since late January. Troops maneuvered by moving on the northern edge of town, then other forces attacked from the south, said Rami AbdulRahman, who heads the Observatory. He said hundreds of army defectors were in control of Rastan. Rastan, home to some 50,000 people, was one of the rst areas in Syria where people took up arms to ght the regime. The uprising began last March as mostly peaceful protests against Assads authoritarian rule, but has become more militarized in the face of the brutal military crackdown. The U.N. human rights chief, Navi Pillay, told the General Assembly on Monday that more than 5,400 people were killed last year alone, and the number of dead and injured

continues to rise daily. She said tens of thousands of people, including children, have been arrested, more than 18,000 reportedly are still arbitrarily detained and thousands more are reported missing. In addition, 25,000 people are estimated to have sought refuge in neighboring countries and more than 70,000 are internally displaced. The breadth and patterns of attacks by military and security forces on civilians, and the widespread destruction of homes, hospitals, schools and other civilian infrastructure indicate approval or complicity by authorities at the highest level, Pillay said. Rastan was taken by defectors twice in the past only to be retaken by Syrian troops. Calls to residents did not go through on Monday and the telephone lines appeared to be cut, as they usually are during military operations. The Observatory, which has activists around Syria, said government forces also bombed the rebel-held Homs neighborhood of Baba Amr, which has been under siege for more than a week. It reported clashes in the village of Busra al-Harir in the southern province of Daraa between troops and army defectors. In the central city of Hama, a sniper shot dead a civilian, the group said. In Idlib, the Observatory said 45 vehicles, including tanks, arrived in the town of Jisr al-Shughour.
Assads bloody crackdown on the opposition has left Syria almost completely isolated internationally, except for one key ally Russia. China and Russia outraged the U.S. and many Arab countries earlier this month when they delivered a double veto to block a U.N. Security resolution calling on Assad to leave power. The 22-nation Arab League has been at the forefront of regional efforts to end the crisis. The group put forward a plan that Assad agreed to in December, then sent in monitors to check whether he was complying. When it became clear the regime was outing the terms of the agreement and the killings were continuing, the League pulled out the observers last month. On Sunday, the League called for the Security Council to create a joint Arab-U.N. peacekeeping force for Syria and urged Arab states to sever all diplomatic contact with Damascus. The group said it wanted to provide Syrian opposition groups with political and material support, and urged the opposition to unite ahead of a Feb. 24 meeting in Tunisia of the Friends of Syria group, which includes the United States, its European allies and Arab nations working to end the uprising against Assads authoritarian rule. In Washington, White House press secretary Jay Carney said the U.S. has begun looking at options for a peacekeeping force, perhaps administered by the United Nations or Arab nations. Britains Foreign Secretary William Hague said Britain would discuss the possibility of a joint Arab League-U.N. peacekeeping force ahead of the Tunisia talks. Such a mission could have an important role to play in saving lives, Hague said in London. In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said there must be a cease-re in Syria before any peacekeeping mission could be sent to the country, rejecting calls for a joint Arab-U.N. force as premature. Lavrov told reporters in Moscow that his country will study the Arab League proposal for a joint peacekeeping mission in Syria with the United Nations.
