City considers hiking parking fees

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Parking in downtown Burlingame could get more expensive as part of a plan to upgrade lots, signs and installing new smart meters. Giving downtown Burlingame a pedestrian-friendly facelift comes with a $15.9 million price tag, a cost that could be covered through a

combination of city funds, parking rates and money raised through assessing property owners. On Monday, the Burlingame City Council will consider a recommendation from the Trafc, Safety and Parking Commission to increase meter rates to raise the $805,000 annually needed from parking to help with the larger plan and upgrade lots, according to a staff

report by Public Works Director Syed Murtuza. If approved, raising such revenue will be accomplished through higher parking rates and changing the hourly rates at some city lots. Money raised will help with a variety of projects streetscape, smart meters, parking lot maintenance and signs. After finishing the Downtown

Specic Plan, Burlingame turned its focus to the streetscape. In July, the council authorized staff to consult with a team led by Royston Hanamoto Alley and Abbey on the design, development, engineering, community outreach and assessment district formation for the Burlingame Avenue streetscape improvements. That $15.9 million plan relies on $7 million from the

city and $9 million from a combination of increased parking rates and creating a property owners assessment district downtown. Annually, $400,000 in revenue would be needed from parking meters toward this project. Smart meters could be installed, giving people more options to pay

After sending many notes to a producer at a New York City club, Durrah showed up and gave the guy an offer he couldnt refuse. Put Durrah on stage.

SAN FRANCISCO Work went smoothly on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge that the westbound direction of the bridge opened Sunday night, well ahead of Tuesday mornings expected opening, a Caltrans ofcial said. Crews were scheduled to begin picking up cones around 7 p.m.

Sunday, with traffic expected to begin moving over the upper deck, or the westbound lanes, around 8 p.m., Caltrans spokesman Bart Ney said during a Sunday evening press brieng. The roadway originally was not expected to be open until 5 a.m. Tuesday. The upper deck, or westbound direction into San Francisco, was

closed Friday night so crews could realign the roadway, put down new asphalt and do other work. While the road was closed, crews were also doing what Ney described as housekeeping work, including painting, inspections and electrical work. Its like a face-lift is being done

Forget the elephant in the room. Redwood City folks want to address the tank in the park. More than six decades after a World War II tank made its home in a Centennial Neighborhood park, city ofcials say its time to learn a little bit more about the military relic and turn it into a proper memorial to those who served in both world wars. City staff and residents have always had a curiosity about the 16ton tank but upcoming renovations of Mezes Park (commonly referred to as Tank Park) really pushed them to put out a public call for information, recollections, photographs really any tidbits that can help weave together the history of the M5 Stuart tank. What were really trying to do is fill in the blanks, said city spokesman Malcolm Smith. Mezes Park sits at the corner of Warren and Standish streets. The American tank, built by Cadillac, was placed in the southwest corner of the park in 1946 at the request of

1962

Astronaut John Glenn became the rst American to orbit the Earth as he ew aboard Project Mercurys Friendship 7 spacecraft. In 1790, Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II died. In 1792, President George Washington signed an act creating the U.S. Post Ofce. In 1809, the Supreme Court ruled that no state legislature could annul the judgments or determine the jurisdictions of federal courts. In 1839, Congress prohibited dueling in the District of Columbia. In 1862, William Wallace Lincoln, the 11-year-old son of President Abraham Lincoln and rst lady Mary Todd Lincoln, died at the White House, apparently of typhoid fever. In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt signed an immigration act which excluded idiots, imbeciles, feebleminded persons, epileptics, insane persons from being admitted to the United States. In 1938, Anthony Eden resigned as British foreign secretary following Prime Minister Neville Chamberlains decision to negotiate with Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. In 1944, during World War II, U.S. bombers began raiding German aircraft manufacturing centers in a series of attacks that became known as Big Week. In 1965, the Ranger 8 spacecraft crashed on the moon, as planned, after sending back thousands of pictures of the lunar surface. In 1971, the National Emergency Warning Center in Colorado erroneously ordered U.S. radio and TV stations off the air; some stations heeded the alert, which was not lifted for about 40 minutes. In 1987, a bomb left by Unabomber Ted Kaczynski exploded behind a computer store in Salt Lake City, seriously injuring store owner Gary Wright.

Whitney Houston laid to rest at private NJ burial
WESTFIELD, N.J. Whitney Houston was laid to rest Sunday at a brief private ceremony in New Jersey, the end of a weekend that saw the pop stars family and friends gather at a starstudded funeral to mourn her loss while celebrating her career. Fans and onlookers gathered in several places along the route the motorcade took from the Newark funeral home to the cemetery about 20 miles away in Westeld, where Houston was buried next to her father, who died in 2003. The 48-year-old singer died Feb. 11 in California, hours before she was to attend a pre-Grammy Awards party. No cause of death has been determined. On Saturday, she was mourned at an invitation-only funeral at the church in Newark where she sang in the choir as a child. She was remembered by the biggest names in the music: Stevie Wonder and Alicia Keys sang, and industry mogul Clive Davis was among those who spoke, as was Kevin Costner, Houstons co-star in The Bodyguard. The funeral was closed to fans, who were not allowed within blocks of the church. Still, many came to Newark to take part in what ways they could, some from as far as Miami and Washington, D.C. Fans gathered again near the funeral home Sunday morning, and some even slowly ran alongside the hearse as it began the journey to Houstons gravesite. Several yelled out We love you, Whitney as the hearse, which had a black and white headshot of the star Whitney in a window, slowly Houston drove away. Barbara Davis, 53, of Newark, said she had been waiting outside the funeral home since 8:30 a.m., hoping to get a glimpse of Houstons nal trip. To be here at her home-going is an honor and a blessing, Davis told The Star-Ledger of Newark. Also among the crowd was Newark resident Eva Aquino and her two granddaughters, ages 10 and 13. All three stood on a street corner as the hearse passed by, and they used cellphones to snap photos of the procession. The girls were wearing T-shirts and buttons of Houston that their grandmother had bought from vendors outside the funeral home Saturday. We came here and bought all these things of her to cherish the memories, said 13-year-old Nalani Velez of Kearny. about lost friends, among them Whitney Houston. Hours after she canceled an appearance at Houstons funeral because of spasms in her legs, the Queen of Soul (the undisputed Queen, the capacity audience was reminded by the shows announcer) was quick on her feet, feisty in voice and sentimental and sassy in spirit at Radio City Music Hall on Saturday night. It was the latest stop on a greatest hits tour featuring old favorites and, since Houstons shocking death a week ago, a tribute to the fallen singer. Franklin is close to Houstons family, and she said Houston called her Aunt Ree. Franklin herself was rumored a year ago to be mortally ill, hospitalized with an undisclosed illness and asking her fans worldwide to pray for her health. On Saturday, the 69-year-old looked young enough to joke about a man who had mistaken her for being in her 50s. She danced and shimmied, kicked off her heels and paced the stage barefoot, and even smirked and gave herself a couple of satised pats on the rear. She looked back over a 50-year career and those who helped her along. Franklin praised the late Luther Vandross as she kicked off the R&B hit he co-wrote for her, Get It Right. She introduced her most heartbreaking ballad, Aint No Way, with a brief word about her sister and the songs composer, Carolyn Franklin, who died in 1988.

Illegal pleasure centers

y the early 1900s, there were only two incorporated cities in San Mateo County: Redwood City (1868) and San Mateo (1894). As is obvious, most of the county was left without means to obtain money and resources to give the citizens adequate public facilities. Many of the villages had their water needs supplied by the real estate businesses that had platted land for sale. Many of the now common departments such as re, police, roads, garbage and health were haphazardly organized by people interested in specic problems. This system worked so long as the population of the village area remained small and the demands were few, but as the people continued to enter the county many conicts and problems arose that could only be solved by an organized government. In 1908, Burlingame and South San Francisco were incorporated, followed by Hillsborough in 1910, Daly City in 1911 and San Bruno in 1914. It was 10 years later before Lawndale (Colma) was incorporated, with Menlo Park and San Carlos in 1927. The remaining villages followed suit many years later. San Franciscos borders at one time extend-

ed from the tip of the Peninsula to the Francisquito Creek on the north border of Palo Alto. For many years, lawlessness was the rule of day for the massive city during its explosive growth period shortly after gold was discovered in California. As it grew from a small village to a huge, robust city, the government was in a continual crisis as it could not supply adequate protection to its citizens. In 1855, San Mateo County broke away to cope with the problems of government.

Unfortunately, San Mateo County was underpopulated and underfunded to adequate supply many of the same needs with which the city of San Francisco struggled. One of the greatest challenges of the newly formed county government was that of law enforcement. Redwood City became the county seat but it was quite distant from the northern parts of the county that it needed to police. The Sheriffs Ofce was formed but again it was underfunded and consisted many times on only the sheriff with few resources to help. The small centers of population around the county responded by appointing marshals and tried to hire help to assist them but again it was a difcult task trying to hire good personnel without adequate money to compensate them. Low pay, the need to supply own transportation, lack of training in police work, the need to buy own uniforms, lack of car radios, desire to hire local personnel, inadequate ofces, etc. often led to rapid overturn of the police departments. While patrolling, these men were often required to pick up refuse while on police patrol in addition to checking the doors of every business as the city fathers thought their time patrolling was not being properly utilized. There were few standards for the cities and graft by the policemen was hard to resist. Very few policemen lasted for long in this type of work environment. The areas close to the San Francisco/San Mateo County border became the rst area that felt the intrusion of pleasure seekers after San Francisco began coping with their crimi-

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. A window of time just opened in Yosemite National Park when nature photographers wait, as if for an eclipse, until the moment when the sun and earth align to create a eeting phenomenon. This marvel of celestial conguration happens in a ash at sunset in mid-February if the winter weather cooperates. On those days the setting sun illuminates one of the parks lesser-known waterfalls so precisely that it resembles molten lava as it ows over the sheer granite face of the imposing El Capitan. Every year growing numbers of photographers converge on the park, their necks craned toward the ephemeral Horsetail Fall, hoping the sky will be clear so they can duplicate the spectacle rst recorded in color in 1973 by the late renowned outdoors photographer Galen Rowell. Horsetail is so uniquely situated that I dont know of any other waterfall on earth that gets that kind of light, said Michael Frye, who wrote the book The Photographers Guide to Yosemite. How many are perched on a high open cliff? Most are in an alcove or canyon and wont get the sun setting behind it. Yosemites special geography makes this fall distinctive, he said. Four decades ago, photographers had only to point and shoot to capture another famous Yosemite refall a man-made cascade of embers pushed from a bonre on summer nights from Glacier Point. But photographing Horsetail is a lesson in astronomy, physics and geometry as hopefuls consider the azimuth degrees and minutes of the earths orbit relative to the sun to deter-

mine the optimal day to experience it. They are looking for the lowest angle of light that will paint Horsetail the colors of an iridescent sunset as rays reect off granite behind the water. It materializes in varying degrees of intensity for the same two weeks every year. If you hit it at just the right time, it turns this amazing color of gold or red-orange, said Frye, a photo instructor with the Ansel Adams Gallery in the park. Adams photographed the fall, but his iconic black and white images do not capture its ery quality, and its unclear whether he ever noted it.

Brown pins legacy to high-speed rail

By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Critics have called it the train to nowhere and a $98 billion boondoggle. As concerns mount over the practicality and affordability of Californias plan to build a high-speed rail system, even many former supporters are beginning to sound skeptical. Not so Gov. Jerry Brown. He has emerged as the most vocal cheerleader of a project that is as risky as it is ambitious. Building a first-in-the-nation project would provide a lasting legacy for the 73-year-old Democratic governor as he moves into the twilight of a long political career. His father is revered for promoting the construction of Californias comprehensive water system and expanding the states higher education system into a national model. The stakes are high for Brown as he champions a massive public works project that other governors, notably in Florida and Ohio, have shunned. Many critics, even some fellow Democrats, worry that the rail line will never be selfsustainable and that the financially struggling state will be saddled with huge operational costs.

Yet Brown has expressed little patience for those whose ambitions for the nations most populous state are lower than his own, dismissing them as declinists. He said a state with a population of nearly 38 million projected to be 49.2 million by 2030, three years before the first phase of the rail line would be finished already is stifled by traffic gridlock and air pollution. California, Brown says, cant afford to miss the chance to invest in high-speed rail, which he promotes as a clean-energy alternative for travel. Spain can build it. China can build it. France can build it. Germany c a n build i t .

England can build it. Japan can build it. But oh, we cant build it, Brown said, mocking critics in a speech a week ago to the California Democratic Party convention. No, we can build more airport runways, more freeways over the next 50 years. Thats twice as expensive. So Im not saying its cheap; Im just saying its cheaper than the alternative, and its a hell of a lot better. Brown was addressing the convention in San Diego, one of the major California cities left off the first phase of the high-speed rail line, which has led to local criticism. Sacramento, the state capital, also is left out. Despite the cost and imperfections of the current plan, Brown has support from President Barack Obamas administration, which included $35 billion for passenger rail over the next five years in its latest budget proposal. U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood visited California earlier this month to reaffirm the presidents support. LaHood called it good for the economy and the nation. The administration has promised $3.5 billion to California on the conditions that work begins this year and that the first section of track will go in the Central Valley, more sparsely populated than the states coastal regions. California voters approved $9 billion in bonds to be used as seed money for high-speed rail in 2008. The net-

w o r k would link the S a n

Francisco Bay area to Los Angeles and Orange County via the Central Valley, and would be completed by 2020 at a cost of $45 million. The ballot measure said trains would run at speeds of up to 220 mph in an 800-mile network connecting all the major population centers. Travel time between San Francisco and Los Angeles: 2 hours and 40 minutes. The plan has changed dramatically since voters approved it.il authority also is considering spending about $1 billion to upgrade existing rail networks and electrify tracks at each end of the system, which would allow faster trains and could help garner political support. This approach has the backing of some local officials who are concerned about the expense and land needed to build separate dedicated lines, but using existing rail lines runs the risk of taking the high-speed out of high-speed rail. That underscores the stakes for Brown. He says California should

be a pioneer in building a system he believes is necessary for the future, but the cost and construction hurdles are so high they could imperil the projects long-term viability. Critics already are trying to starve the project of public financing. Republicans in Congress have introduced legislation that would prohibit any additional federal transportation money for high-speed rail. In the state Legislature, several GOP lawmakers have introduced bills to halt its funding. Last month, Republican state Sen. Doug LaMalfa and former Republican congressman George Radanovich submitted language for a statewide ballot initiative tentatively titled Stop the $100 Billion Bullet Train to Nowhere Act. A recent poll found that California voters would not support the project if they were asked to vote again. Despite the criticism, Brown is having no second thoughts, said his spokesman, Gil Duran. There was always an understanding that this draft plan would be reviewed and critiqued, and nobody will be able to say that there was not a thorough critique of the plan, Duran said. Nothing of this magnitude and importance gets built without overcoming some sharp criticism and tough obstacles.

How intense is Romneys support?

By Thomas Beaumont
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DES MOINES, Iowa If Mitt Romney wins the Republican nomination for president, hell face the urgent task of inspiring the partys conservative core and rallying them to beat President Barack Obama. Judging by his performances in the primaries and caucuses so far, and the challenge he faces next week, hes got his work cut out for him. Even Republicans who think hell be the nominee worry about whether he can generate the intensity required to beat the Democratic incumbent. These party leaders and activists, from the states voting Feb. 28 and the most contested ones ahead in the fall, say Romney has made strides toward addressing this problem. But, they say, he needs to do more to convince the Republican base that hes

running to fundamentally reverse the nations course, not simply manage what they see as the federal g ove r n m e n t s mess. I think Mitt Romney Romney will be the nominee, but there is still tremendous work to be done, said Sally Bradshaw, a Florida Republican and adviser to former Gov. Jeb Bush. He has got to nd a way to unify the party and increase the intensity of support for him among voters who have supported Newt Gingrich, or Rick Santorum or Ron Paul or someone else. And that is going to be the key to how he does in the fall. Romney leads in the delegate count for the nomination, and by a wide margin in private polling ahead

of the Arizona primary Feb. 28. But the rising challenge from former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum in the contest also that day in Michigan, where Romney was born and raised, underscores doubts about Romneys ability to ignite fervor in the GOP base. He nearly tied Santorum in Iowa, although entrance polls showed that more of Santorums backers than Romneys said they were strongly behind their chosen candidate. Romney lost the primary in South Carolina last month to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. More of Romneys supporters in that state said they would support him with reservations in the general election than would support him enthusiastically. Santorum swept caucuses Feb. 7 in Colorado and Minnesota, and the nonbinding Missouri primary. Romneys challengers have risen

by sounding more conservative and displaying sharper differences with Obama, while nipping Romneys appeal as the most electable against Obama. Romney, a former Massachusetts governor with a moderate past, has campaigned more as the likely GOP nominee, portraying himself as acceptable to swing voters in a race where polls show voters prizing most a candidates perceived ability to beat Obama. Romney has pivoted toward the GOPs conservative base in light of Santorums surge. He dove into the debate over whether birth control ought to be covered by health insurance provided by church-backed employers by faulting the Obama administrations original push to do so as an assault on religion. But Romney was accused of overreaching after recently telling influential conservative

activists, I was a severely conservative Republican governor. In Romneys case its like the difference between someone who grew up speaking Spanish and someone who went to school to speak Spanish, said Constantin Querard, an Arizona Republican operative. The moment Romney starts speaking, people know the difference. A Pew Research poll taken last week shows the Republican voters nationally who think Romney is a strong conservative has dipped to 42 percent from 53 percent in November. Romneys campaign aides say its unrealistic to think conservatives staring at the possibility of a second Obama term will not unify behind Romney. President Obama is the best unier the Republican Party could ever hope for, Romneys political director, Rich Beeson, told the Associated Press.

Asian-American soldiers endure bias

By Deepti Hajela
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The harassment of 19-year-old Danny Chen started in basic training teasing about his name, repeated questions of whether he was from China, even though he was a born-and-raised New Yorker. He wrote in his journal that he was running out of jokes to respond with. It got worse in Afghanistan, military investigators told his family. They said the other men in his unit showered Chen, the only ChineseAmerican in his unit, with racial slurs and physical abuse in the weeks leading up to his suicide in early October. Eight soldiers have been charged in connection with his death.

Racial prejudice
For some Asian-Americans who have served in the military, the racial prejudice aspect of Chens alleged mistreatment comes with little surprise based on what theyve seen or experienced. But others say the military is a place where everyones limits are tested, and that the failure in Chens case is one of lead-

ership. Its unclear how often military members experience racial bullying. Despite repeated requests, the Army did not Danny Chen provide any data and the Department of Defense said it didnt have any information since the service branches are each responsible for their own record-keeping. The Army did say that it has regulations against hazing and bullying in place. Vietnam War veteran David Oshiro isnt surprised to hear of the accusations of racial prejudice. The 63-year-old Japanese-American said he didnt have problems with the men in his unit but often heard slurs from other enlisted Americans. When he was injured, military Medevac personnel assumed he was Vietnamese and nearly delayed his evacuation until all the solders they thought were American had been own out. I got really upset, I started yelling back, Im an American. You

get my ass out of here now, said the San Rafael, Calif., resident said. It still upsets me, because I keep thinking, Were on the same team! That wasnt Rajiv Srinivasans experience. The 25-year-old Afghanistan veteran said sure, there were jokes about his Indian heritage from those who served with him. If they approached disrespect, he said he shut it down.

Santorum questions Obamas world view

Character
No matter what race or ethnicity, the Army is going to test the solidity of your character and your identity, the Ashburn, Va., resident said. You could be the quintessential military brat-turned-soldier from Fort Benning, Ga.; the culture of the Army is still going to be pushing you. Daniel Kim, a 39-year-old Korean-American who spent 12 years in the infantry before leaving in 2004, questioned the leadership in Chens unit. Among those implicated are a lieutenant and several non-commissioned ofcers. Who else knew? Who else didnt speak up? asked Kim, who now lives in Queens.

CUMMING, Ga. Rick Santorum on Sunday condemned what he called President Barack Obamas world view that elevates the Earth above man, discouraging increased use of natural resources. The GOP presidential candidate also slammed Obamas health care overhaul for requiring insurers to pay for prenatal tests that, Santorum said, will encourage more abortions. A day after telling an Ohio audience that Obamas agenda is based on some phony theology, not a theology based on the Bible, Santorum said he wasnt criticizing the presidents Christianity. Ive repeatedly said I dont question the presidents faith. Ive repeatedly said that I believe the presidents Christian, Santorum told CBS Face the Nation. I am talking about his world view, and the way he approaches problems in this country. I think

theyre different than how most people do in America, he said in the broadcast interview. The former Pennsylvania said Barack Obama senator Obamas environmental policies promote ideas of radical environmentalists, who, Santorum argues, oppose greater use of the countrys natural resources because they believe man is here to serve the Earth. He said that was the reference he was making Saturday in his Ohio campaign appearance when he denounced a phony theology. When pressed by reporters after he made the initial remark, however, Santorum made no mention of the presidents environmental policies. Instead, he suggested that Obama practices one of the different stripes of Christianity.

ly hit-and-run attack on a political figure in the heart of the pro-Assad city of Aleppo. The targeted killings have not reached Assads Bashar Assad inner circle, but they indicate a growing shift toward violent tactics by the opposition as it brings aboard more military defectors and seeks to tighten control over the small pieces of territory in its hands. The fears of a looming civil war have neighboring Jordan racing to finish a refugee camp near the Syrian border to handle a possible exodus of people eeing for safety. Meanwhile, Egypt became the latest Arab nation to publicly snub Assad by ordering the withdrawal of its ambassador in Damascus. The Syrian government has offered some concessions, including proposing a referendum next week that could allow more political voices to challenge Assads Baath Party. But the opposition demands nothing short of Assads resignation. And the regime has not eased off its attacks on the opposition forces, which it describes as terrorists carrying out a foreign conspiracy to destabilize the country. In Homs in central Syria, government forces sent in reinforcements as they shelled the rebel-held Baba Amr district that has been under near constant barrage for nearly two

BEIRUT Gunmen in Syria staged a guerrilla-style ambush that killed a senior state prosecutor and a judge Sunday in an attack that suggested armed factions are growing bolder and more coordinated in their uprising against President Bashar Assads regime. The roadway slayings reported in an opposition-dominated northern region by the Syrian state news agency came a day after a dead-

Ofcial: 44 dead in Mexico prison riot
MONTERREY, Mexico A ght among inmates led to a prison riot in northern Mexico that killed 44 people Sunday, a security ofcial said. Nuevo Leon state public security spokesman Jorge Domene Zambrano said the riot broke out at about 2 a.m. in a high-security section of a prison in the city of Apodaca outside the northern industrial city of Monterrey. Several inmates attacked others, and the ghting then spread and blew up into a riot, Domene said.

MOSCOW Hundreds of cars circled central Moscow during an opposition demonstration on Sunday to demand that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin allow free elections in Russia. As they traveled along the wide Garden Ring, which makes a nearly 10-mile loop around the Vladimir Putin Kremlin, the cars flew the white ribbons and balloons that have become a symbol of the peaceful anti-Putin protest movement. One family held up their little white dog in an open, passengers side window. Sundays demonstration took place two weeks before the presidential election, which Putin is expected to win. Although none of his four challengers poses a serious threat, Putin does need to get a majority of the vote to avoid a runoff. A similar protest in support of Putin late Saturday drew what police said were 2,000 cars. Putins supporters have been trying to counter the opposition protests by showing that they too can bring people out onto the street. Tens of thousands of people are expected to attend a pro-Putin rally in Moscow on Thursday, a national holiday.

JERUSALEM The U.S. and Britain on Sunday urged Israel not to attack Irans nuclear program as the White Houses national security adviser arrived in the region, reecting growing international jitters that the Israelis are poised to strike. In their warnings, both the chairman of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, and British Foreign Secretary William Hague said an Israeli attack on Iran would have grave consequences for the entire region and urged Israel to give international sanctions against Tehran more time to work. Dempsey said an Israeli attack is not prudent, and Hague said it would not be a wise thing. It was not known whether their messages were coordinated. Both Israel and the West believe

Iran is trying to develop a nuclear bomb a charge Tehran denies. But differences have emerged in how to respond to the perceived threat. The U.S. and the European Union have both imposed harsh new sanctions targeting Irans oil sector, the lifeline of the Iranian economy. With the sanctions just beginning to bite, they have expressed optimism that Iran can be persuaded to curb its nuclear ambitions. On Sunday, Irans Oil Ministry said it has halted oil shipments to Britain and France in an apparent pre-emptive blow against the European Union. The semiofcial Mehr news agency said the National Iranian Oil Company has sent letters to some European reneries with an ultimatum to either sign long-term contracts of two to ve years or be cut off. The 27-nation EU accounts for about 18 percent of Irans oil exports.

Israel has welcomed the sanctions. But it has pointedly refused to rule out military action and in recent weeks sent signals that its patience is running thin. Israel believes a nuclear-armed Iran would be a threat to its very existence, citing Irans support for Arab militant groups, its sophisticated arsenal of missiles capable of reaching Israel and its leaders calls for the destruction of the Jewish state. Last week, Israel accused Iran of being behind a string of attempted attacks on Israeli diplomats in India, Georgia and Thailand. There is precedent for Israeli action. In 1981, the Israeli air force destroyed an unnished Iraqi nuclear reactor. And in 2007, Israeli warplanes are believed to have destroyed a target that foreign experts think was an unnished nuclear reactor in Syria.

NKorea threatens to attack SKorea over drills

PYONGYANG, North Korea North Korea will launch merciless strikes if South Korea goes through with planned live-re drills Monday in a disputed front-line area near their disputed sea border, a North Korean ofcer warned in an interview with the Associated Press. North Korea doesnt want a war but its people are always ready to dedicate their blood to defend their inviolable territory, officer Sin Chol Ung from the Norths Korean

Peoples Security Forces told AP on Sunday as South Korean troops prepared to hold the drills in an area that was the target of a deadly artillery attack in 2010. South Korea is scheduled to stage regular one-day artillery drills Monday from front-line islands in waters off the western coast that North Korea claims as its territory. South Korea informed Pyongyang of the training plan on Sunday, South Koreas Joint Chiefs of Staff said in Seoul. Soon after, Pyongyangs military called the drills a premeditated military provocation and warned

the South it would retaliate for an attack on its territory. North Korea urged civilians living or working on the islands to evacuate before the drills begin, the western military command said in a statement carried by the Norths official Korean Central News Agency. The threat of an artillery attack like the one that killed four South Koreans in November 2010 after a similar exchange between the two Koreas comes two months after the death of leader Kim Jong Il and as his son Kim Jong Un takes the helm of the nation of 24 million.

Guest perspective

The desperate rail

By Kent Lauder

ll the independent organizations that have studied the high-speed rail proposal have determined it is a disaster waiting to happen, yet its proponents, including Gov. Jerry Brown, continue to defend the project. Having lost the argument on substance, they have consequently been forced to rely on the last desperate tactics of persuasion. First is the appeal for job creation. Governmental outlays for stimulating the economy is a legitimate matter. But for high-speed rail, the most important aspect is the cost/benet factor. Similar to the proverbial bridge to nowhere, the discrepancy between the projects huge cost and minimal benet is extreme. Of course, all nancial outlays go toward job creation, whether it be spent on hiring more teachers or investing in much needed repair and upgrades to our steadily deteriorating infrastructure. But in the list of priorities, high-speed rail comes in dead last. This leads to their second persuasive recourse, which is to indulge in the indenites of sentiment. Following the rail authoritys glowing press releases, showing images of futuristic trains quietly zooming through idyllic landscapes, their verbal strategy has been to use trite, purposely vague slogans such as progress and its the future in lieu of substance. Such authoritative sounding but insupportable certitudes are meant to quiet skeptical inquiry the implication being that anyone in

opposition must be whining naysayers to progress and all that is good, noble and patriotic. Comparing this project to Americas great achievements (Panama Canal, etc.), as argument, is specious. It is an attempt to provoke us with a dare against the they who say it cannot be done. Of course it can be done. Highspeed rail is not a great project, nor a courageous challenge, it is just unimaginably costly and irresponsible. We live in one of the most dynamic and innovative regions in the world, yet this 50-year old system is not cuttingedge innovation. For one thing, it is slow compared to potentially much faster Maglev transportation system currently being developed in Germany. Proponents argue we will be left behind if we do not proceed; actually, we will be left behind if we do. For once completed, our descendants will be left with an antiquated, slow, underfunded and underutilized 20th century mode of transport with little payback to the community, yet much to pay going forward. Naysayers to progress? How about a coast-to-coast, transcontinental (very) high-speed rail system. Thats where the ridership numbers and the prots would lie. Or we could take a truly bold stance and make a real commitment to developing alternative energy resources. It would not only create

jobs, but increase our collective wealth by lessening our dependence on foreign energy. Proponents of high-speed rail lack vision. They mistakenly believe that the extrapolation of past experience is a guide to future need. But true innovation is seldom predictable. No one knows what the future will look like, any more than anyone could have predicted, some 30 years ago, the full and continuing impact of the Internet. That innovation was one which grew out of a culture poised and ready to accept it. It is an example of progress that arose organically from within, not one articially imposed from without. What proponents consider progress could well be regression. The U.S. Postal Service is witnessing unprecedented losses due to the Internet revolution. It is an earth-shaking change few could have predicted. So too with high-speed rail, which is likely nd itself in the wrong place at the wrong time. We appear now to be entering a world where the mass movement of information, not people, seems the more likely predictor of things to come. So let us be careful not to fall for their simplistic its the future propaganda, for if we do, we could be trading our real needs for an illusion and selling our future for a phrase.

Kevin wraps it up
hile many candidates for state Assembly in 2012 in newly apportioned districts are facing difcult primary challenges, South San Francisco Councilman Kevin Mullin is not. In fact, he will probably run unopposed in June. Kevin just announced his candidacy for newly created Assembly District 22 in San Mateo County. Before the print dried on his press release, he had already secured the endorsement of the state Democratic Party ( at its recent convention in San Diego). He has the endorsement of the countys political elite including the entire Board of Supervisors; his former boss, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo; state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo; his dad, former assemblyman Gene Mullin; assemblymen Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and Richard Gordon, D-Menlo Park. One might conclude that Mullin at age 41 is just one lucky guy following in the steps of his famous and popular dad. But hes much more than that. He is probably the best prepared freshman Assembly member we have ever had. And his skills and experience will be needed in the new Assembly where redistricting turnovers will include 40-50 freshmen. Thats not to say his dad has not been inuential in his life. The senior Mullin was mayor and councilman of South San Francisco. Ditto Kevin. Dad represented San Mateo in the state Assembly. Its expected that Kevin will, too. And once in the assembly, Kevin hopes to follow his dad and Jerry Hill in chairing the select committee on biotech, a position very important to San Mateo County. Whats more, Kevin met his wife, Jessica, when she was working on his dads campaign. They dated for six years and married in November. Jessica now works for the League of California Cities as a regional public affairs director, a position Rebecca Elliott once held. *** For someone other than Kevin, born and raised in South San Francisco, the new 22nd District would present a difcult challenge. Two-thirds of his home base is not in it. Instead most of South San Francisco, Daly City and Colma are in a newly constituted 19th Assembly district. The newlyweds live 100 yards from the district line. The new 22nd runs from Brisbane to Redwood City and will include two cities Gene Mullin did not represent San Carlos and Redwood City. But Kevin has been busy representing the county on the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (he was elected to that post by county mayors and prevailed over several candidates on the rst vote) and has served on several county committees. In addition he has been hosting political talk shows on PenTV, Channel 26, for the past 15 years and has gotten to know most of the countys elected ofcials. *** What makes Kevin so knowledgeable about the ways things work or dont work in Sacramento? For starters, his rst political job was with then Assemblyman Johan Klehs in 1993. He then worked as district director for then-state senator Jackie Speier. When his dad ran for the Assembly, Kevin left Jackies ofce to manage Genes campaign. He was then elected to the council in 2007. Kevin recently completed an executive education leadership program at Harvard Universitys Kennedy School of Government, an exceptional experience for someone interested in public policy. When I was teaching a course on local and state government at the College of San Mateo, Kevin was a frequent guest lecturer and always impressed me with his knowledge of what worked and what needed xing in our state government. One of the things he hopes will change is the bitter partisanship. And the new freshmen class may be the way to start a dialogue across the aisle. He is optimistic about this because of recent changes. Now that the two top primary winners, no matter what their party, will face each other in November, it could mean the election of more moderate Republicans. Also an initiative which would allow members to serve a maximum of 12 years in either the Assembly or Senate would help if it is approved. Right now members of the Assembly can serve six years and state senators eight years but often stay longer because they move from one house to another. *** Unlike his dad, Kevin has not been a teacher or an administrator. Instead he created a multimedia production company KM2 Communications which primarily produces documentaries. Currently, he and his partner Brian Kingston are working with Jon Rubin to produce lms on former U.S. Sen. Estes Kefauver and former San Francisco mayor George Moscone. Rubin is married to Kefauvers daughter. *** In last weeks column, Gina Papans afliations were mistakenly deleted. Gina now serves as vice mayor of Millbrae and works for the State Attorney Generals Ofce in San Francisco.

Obamas budget proposal

The Pueblo (Colo.) Chieftain

resident Barack Obama unveiled his latest budget that is loaded with decit spending and tax increases on the wealthy but avoids tough choices on the soaring costs of entitlements. The presidents budget request to Congress forecasts a decit of $1.33 trillion in the current scal year even higher than expected and calls for at least $1.5 trillion in tax hikes over the next decade. By including $350 billion in short-term stimulus spending, Obama is submitting a plan that is ready-made for his re-election campaign.

Other voices
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, former director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Ofce, said, He has put out budgets that lead to a death spiral. His budgets have never added up, and he has a propensity to use it as a very powerful campaign tool. What the president is attempting to do is enlarge the entitlement society, for he fails in his budget proposal to attack the nancial time bombs that are Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Takers get more than makers: Individuals received on average

$32,748 worth of benets annually in 2010, the most recent year for which full data is available. By comparison, the average personal disposable income of tax-paying Americans was $32,446. More takers mean more costs for taxpayers: An estimated 67.3 million people in America depended on government for food stamps, retirement income, health care, job training and a host of other benets. French political historian, Alexis de Tocqueville, said that the American republic will last only until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. With his budget plan, President Obama hopes that the takers will propel him back into ofce this November.

Gas prices soaring

By Chris Kahn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Gasoline prices have never been higher this time of the year. At $3.53 a gallon, prices are already up 25 cents since Jan. 1. And experts say they could reach a record $4.25 a gallon by late April. Youre going to see a lot more staycations this year, says Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research. When the price gets anywhere near $4, you really see people react. Already, W. Howard Coudle, a retired machinist from Crestwood, Mo., has seen his monthly gasoline bill rise to $80 from about $60 in December. The closest service station is selling regular for $3.39 per gallon, the highest hes ever seen. I guess were going to have to drive less, consolidate all our errands into one trip, Coudle says. Its just oppressive. The surge in gas prices follows an increase in the price of oil. Oil around the world is priced differently. Brent crude from the North Sea

is a proxy for the foreign oil thats imported by U.S. refineries and turned into gasoline and other fuels. Its price has risen 11 percent so far this year, to around $119 a barrel, because of tensions with Iran, a cold snap in Europe and rising demand from developing nations. West Texas Intermediate, used to price oil produced in the U.S., is up 4 percent to around $103 a barrel. Thats 19 percent higher than a year earlier. Higher gas prices could hurt consumer spending and curtail the recent improvement in the U.S. economy. A 25-cent jump in gasoline prices, if sustained over a year, would cost the economy about $35 billion. Thats only 0.2 percent of the total U.S. economy, but economists say its a meaningful amount, especially at a time when growth is only so-so. The economy grew 2.8 percent in the fourth quarter, a rate considered modest following a recession. Gas prices are already an issue in the presidential campaign. Republican candidate Newt Gingrich spoke several times this week about opening up more

federal land to oil and gas drilling as a path toward U.S. energy independence and lower pump prices. Our goals should be to get gasoline to $2.50 or less so that working families can actually get to work and retired families can travel, Gingrich said at a campaign event in Los Angeles Thursday. High oil and gas prices now set the stage for even sharper increases at the pump because gas typically rises in March and April. Every spring, reners suspend operations to switch the type of gasoline they make. Supplies of wintertime gas are sold off before March, when reneries need to start making a new formula of gasoline thats required in the summer. That can mean less supply for service stations, resulting in higher gas prices. And summertime gasoline is more expensive to make. The government mandates that it contain less butane and other cheap organic compounds because they contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone, a primary constituent in smog. That means more oil, a costlier component, is needed to produce each gallon.

FDA to review inhalable caffeine

By Rodrique Ngowi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON U.S. Food and Drug Administration ofcials plan to investigate whether inhalable caffeine sold in lipstick-sized canisters is safe for consumers and if its manufacturer was right to brand it as a dietary supplement. AeroShot went on the market late last month in Massachusetts and New York, and its also available in France. Consumers put one end of the canister in their mouths and breathe in, releasing a fine powder that dissolves almost instantly. Each grey-and-yellow plastic canister contains B vitamins, plus 100 milligrams of caffeine powder, about the equivalent of the caffeine in a large cup of coffee. AeroShot inventor, Harvard biomedical engineering professor David Edwards, says the product is safe and

doesnt contain taurine and other common additives used to enhance the caffeine effect in energy drinks. AeroShot didnt require FDA review before hitting the U.S. market because its sold as a dietary supplement. But New Yorks U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said he met with FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg and she agreed to review the safety and legality of AeroShot. I am worried about how a product like this impacts kids and teens, who are particularly vulnerable to overusing a product that allows one to take hit after hit after hit, in rapid succession, Schumer said. He planned to announce the AeroShot review Sunday. Tom Hadfield, chief executive of Breathable Foods, which makes AeroShot in France, said in a statement that the company will cooperate fully with the FDAs review to address the

issues raised by Schumer and are condent it will conclude that AeroShot is a safe, effective product that complies with FDA regulations. The company said that when used according to its label, AeroShot provides a safe amount of caffeine and B vitamins and does not contain common additives used to enhance the effect of caffeine in energy drinks. It said each AeroShot contains B vitamins and 100 milligrams of caffeine, about the equivalent of caffeine in a large cup of coffee, and that AeroShot is not recommended for those under 18 and is not marketed to children. Meanwhile, an FDA ofcial who was at the meeting conrmed the decision, telling The Associated Press that the review will include a study of the law to determine whether AeroShot qualies as a dietary supplement. The product will also be tested to gure out whether its safe for consumption, the ofcial said.

Iran Oil Ministry: Exports cut to Britain,France

By Ali Akbar Dareini
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEHRAN, Iran Iran has halted oil shipments to Britain and France, the Oil Ministry said Sunday, in an apparent pre-emptive blow against the European Union after the bloc imposed sanctions on Irans crucial fuel exports. The EU imposed tough sanctions against Iran last month, which included a freeze of the countrys central bank assets and an oil embargo set to begin in July. Irans Oil Minister Rostam Qassemi had warned earlier this month that Tehran could cut off oil exports to hostile European nations. The 27nation EU accounts for about 18 percent of Irans oil exports. The EU sanctions, along with other punitive measures imposed by the U.S., are part of Western efforts to derail

Irans disputed nuclear program, which the West fears is aimed at developing atomic weapons. Iran denies the charges, and says its program is for peaceful purposes. The spokesman for Irans Oil Ministry, Ali Reza Nikzad-Rahbar, said on the ministrys website Sunday that crude oil exports to British and French companies have been halted. We have our own customers and have no problem to sell and export our crude oil to new customers, he said. Britains Foreign Ofce declined comment, and there was no immediate response from French ofcials. The semiofcial Mehr news agency said exports were suspended to the two countries Sunday. It also said the National Iranian Oil Company has sent letters to some European reneries with an ultimatum to either sign long-term

contracts of two to ve years or be cut off. Mehr did not specify which countries were sent the ultimatum, but Spain, Italy and Greece are among Europes biggest buyers of Iranian oil. Irans targeting of Britain and France appeared to be a political decision to punish the two countries for supporting tougher sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program. Sundays announcement follows a urry of contradictory signals by Iran about backlash against the EU for imposing a boycott on Iranian oil. Last week, state media said Iran was planning to cut off oil exports to six EU nations, including France, but later reports said the nations were only told that Iran has no problem nding replacement customers for the European shipments.

Terra Nova girls cement dynasty status

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

There are moments in sports that leave lasting impressions. Peninsula Athletic League girls basketball fans were privy to such a moment Saturday night about midday through the fourth quarter when Terra Novas Terilyn Moe, Ivonne Cook-Taylor and Jayzyl Tauala were summoned off the court by head coach Kareem Summerville, marking the end of a historic league

run. The Terra Nova girls basketball program cemented themselves as a true Peninsula Athletic League dynasty Saturday night in emphatic fashion, defeating San Mateo 77-51. In beating the Bearcats, the Tigers captured their fourth consecutive tournament title Moe, CookTaylor and Tauala never tasted defeat in tourney play. I think weve built a dynasty at Terra Nova, Summerville said. (Winning the tournament) means

something to us. For our younger players, they get the opportunity to keep working hard. We have three or four good players that will continue the tradition at Terra Nova. We werent taking anything for granted, Moe said. We came into (the championship) thinking it was a brand new game. We knew (San Mateo) was going to come out hard. Unfortunately for San Mateo, the only thing deadlier than Terra Nova on the basketball court is a focused

Terra Nova team. The Tigers came out and stepped on the accelerator from the get-go. They did not let up until the start of the fourth quarter. By that time, they led 66-27. We came out, they scored a couple of baskets and it was hard for us to react, said San Mateo head coach Nancy Dinges. We kind of, came out at and sometimes when we come out at, we can recover. Tonight, I dont think we ever recovered at all. Terra Nova played their game thats it.

Our game plan was to shut down (Alana) Simon and (Candace) Stephens, Summerville said. Going in, the last three years in the championship, weve trailed. So this year, we told the girls we want to be leading. So, the energy was up and the girls came out and played hard. Were like horses, we keep going and going and going until your demeanor is down and the girls feed off of that they see a team that is

El Camino champs
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The changing of the guard is complete. For the rst time in their schools history, the boys from El Camino in South San Francisco are champions of the Peninsula Athletic League boys basketball tournament. And ttingly, the Colts accomplished the historic feat by unseating the defending, four-time champions in Burlingame, 60-48. The PAL tourney trophy still bleeds red. But now, you can add a touch of gray to that. Weve wanted to win this tournament for some time now, said El Camino point guard and PAL Most Valuable Player, Elijah White. Its the rst time weve made it to the championship game in the schools history so to come into our rst and win it, it means a lot. This is great, said El Camino head coach Archie Junio. Its a great feeling. It raises the spirit of the school and all the kids. Its a really good and a real fun time. Perhaps the lasting image of night happened during the trophy presentation when Burlingame head coach Jeff Dowd, whos been at the helm of four-straight tourney wins and seven championship game appearances, handed El Caminos Big-3 (White, Anthony Knight and Michael Smith) the tournament trophy, leaning over a bit to mouth a couple of words to the now champions. I just told them I was really proud of the way they represented the league, Dowd said. And that they did a great job. We couldnt stop them. Not very many teams can claim they fully stopped the Colts trio.

Lin, as in win, lifts Knicks

By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Linsanity lives. Forget the off night that had NBA fans worldwide wondering if the Jeremy Lin story was too good to be true. Its still plenty good, all right. The Harvard sensation was back at his whirling ways Sunday, and the stage couldnt have been Jeremy Lin better against the defending champions on national TV.

El Camino High School beat Burlingame for the Peninsula Athletic League title.

BRISTOL, Conn. ESPN fired an employee responsible for an offensive headline about Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin. The headline Friday on ESPNs mobile website was used for a story about a New York loss in which Lin had nine turnovers. The headline was an idiom that contains a word that also can be used as a slur against Chinese. I dont think it was on purpose or whatever, but (at) the same time they have apologized. And so from my end I dont care anymore, Lin said after leading the Knicks to a 104-97 win over Dallas on Sunday. Have to learn to forgive, and I dont even think that was intentional. Or hopefully not.

Bay Area pitchers shine on opening weekend

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Every year, the anticipation of baseball season is palpable at Sunken Diamond. It was noticeably more distinct Friday, though, when Mark Appel took the mound. Amid a well-rounded Cardinal squad that enters the season ranked No. 2 in the nation, Appel owns the spotlight. The ace right-hander was the talk of the amateur baseball world throughout the offseason, especially as of late. Appel enters the season ranked as the best amateur prospect in the country. He is one of four Cardinal players ranked in Baseball Americas Top 100 amateur prospects along with third baseman Stephen Piscotty (No. 18), shortstop Kenny Diekroeger (No. 29), and left-hander Brett Mooneyham (No. 100), as well as a local Stanford-bound prep star, Menlo School senior right-hander Freddy Avis (No. 39) while Appel tops the list, projected to be the rst overall pick in Major League Baseballs June draft. But, as Appel took to the hill Friday evening, some other Bay Area aces had already delivered stellar performances to get their respective teams in the win column. Cal left-hander Justin Jones went five strong innings to lead the Golden Bears past University of the Pacic, 9-1. The Bears went on to sweep the series, with a 6-3 win Saturday, and a 9-3 comeback win, yesterday. Santa Clara University, behind new manager Dan OBrien, got off to a 3-0 start, sweeping through the Bobcat Invitation Tourney at Texas State, downing

host TSU 5-4 in Saturdays opener, and topping Wichita State 7-1 in a doubleheader nightcap, before defeating Louisiana-Lafayette 8-5, yesterday. Meanwhile, University of San Francisco ace Kyle Zimmer hurled four scoreless innings at San Joses Blethen Field to help the Dons to a 4-0 opening-day win over San Jose State. USF took 2 of 3 in the series, capturing Saturdays game 5-1, behind seven strong innings of four-hit ball from sophomore starter Abe Bobb, before falling 7-3 in yesterdays home opener.

Stanford sweeps Vandy

Stanford boasts a unique schedule this season, hosting three of the best teams in the nation in non-conference play. In addition to sweeping No. 10 Vanderbilt at Sunken Diamond over the weekend, the Cardinal host No. 13 Texas this coming weekend, as well as No. 6 Rice, March 9-11 much different than last seasons schedule, which was a beast of burden for the Cardinal. Not only did they start 2011 non-conference play on the road against the same trio of teams. Stanford squared off against a deep Pac-10 pool which ultimately sent six teams to the postseason, leaving the Cardinal to nish fth in the conference. For Appel, though, his sophomore season was a crucial study in thriving as the Friday starter of a college pitching staff. Im fortunate to have a year under my belt, Appel said. Last year, pitching Fridays, I learned a lot, watching some other guys like Sonny Gray for Vanderbilt

Stanford right-hander Mark Appel lived up to the preseason hype by beating No.10 Vanderbilt in the season opener at Sunken Diamond.
Taylor Jungmann of Texas, and Gerrit Cole, the rst overall (MLB draft) pick. So, we obviously played a very tough schedule. It was what Appel did after working 110 1/3 innings throughout Stanfords season, though, that solidied his ranking as the top amateur pitcher in the nation. He emerged as a dominant bullpen option for Team USA by tabbing four shutout relief appearances. Then, to get some starts under his belt to nish the year, he joined the rotation of Yarmouth-Dennis of the prestigious Cape Cod League. Not only did he have plenty left in the tank to excel in the Cape, he saved the best for last, hurling eight innings while striking out 10 to earn a playoff victory over Orleans. And,

Appel explained his season-ending success by the book. I dont really know how or why, he said. I just try to go out there and take it one pitch at a time, and I guess the results took care of themselves. I was focusing on throwing my changeup a lot in the Cape, and also getting back to getting to start a few games. Appels changeup is a foshchange, distinguished by a split-nger grip, similar to the one Giants ace Tim Lincecum throws. It compliments a fastball that sits between 94-97 mph, and varying looks on a slider. According to Stanford catcher Eric Smith, Appel had all three pitches working Friday night, in working seven innings of two-hit ball to earn the win. And, as highlighted by first baseman Brian Ragiras diving play to rob Vanderbilt leadoff hitter Tony Kemp of extra bases on the rst play of the season, Appel also had his defense working. It was one of many standout plays by the Cardinal defense to keep Appels gem in tact. The thing with Mark [Friday] is he just kept pounding the zone all night, Smith said. For seven strong he was in the zone and when you have a defense like ours, you dont need to do anything special. He knows what he has to do to be successful. He knows what he has to do to get guys out, and help us win. And, thats exactly what he did.

Cal sweeps Pacic

It was a bittersweet nish for Cal left-hander Justin Jones in 2011. While his Golden Bears became the

Cinderella babies of the College World Series, Jones season ended in the Super Regional Playoffs when he walked off the eld with an injury to his throwing arm. When I left the mound, I knew it wasnt anything major, like an ACL or a labrum, Jones said. I was just really confused. All things considered, the prognosis was good. Jones stretched a nerve in his bicep, and didnt require surgery. However, the injury did force him to sit out Cals rst trip to Omaha since 1992. The junior southpaw showed up in force, Friday. According to Jones, he didnt experience any nerves or butteries he rarely, if ever, does. What the lithe lefty did was quell doubts that Cals pitching staff could survive the loss of right-handers Erik Johnson and Dixon Anderson, who opted to sign pro contracts in the offseason. Despite Cal ultimately cruising to a 9-1 win in the season opener at Evans Diamond, Jones left after ve strong innings amid a 2-1 nail biter. Then the seniors showed up in force. After two years serving as the teams closer, right-hander Matt Flemer dominated through eight innings to earn the win Saturday, in his rst start since he was a freshman. Also, catcher Chadd Krist went 5 for 13 with 5 RBIs, hitting in the No. 3 spot of the batting order. Both Flemer and Krist were drafted last year, but surprisingly opted to return to Cal in 2012. It was a big surprise, Jones said. Catchers like Chadd Krist only come around once in a while. The way he works an at bat, and just his work ethic overall, really trumps a lot of peoples.

After the nal buzzer, Lin got a hug from a fellow Bay Area product, and someone who knows a thing or two about playing the point Mavs star Jason Kidd He looks a little bit like Steve Nash out there, Kidd said about the Palo Alto High School alum, referring to the two-time MVP of the Phoenix Suns. In a game of wild momentum swings, the Knicks reeled off 17 straight points in the rst quarter, fell behind by 12 in the third, then pulled it out to beat the Mavericks for only the third time in the last 20 meetings. I think they found something in Lin, and theyre starting to piece together a team that can beat anyone, Mavs guard Jason Terry said. Steve Novak also delivered for the Knicks. He scored all 14 of his points

in the fourth quarter, including four 3s. J.R. Smith scored 15 points in his Knicks debut as New York won for the eighth time in nine games. Dirk Nowitzki scored a seasonhigh 34 points for the Mavericks, who had been playing championship-level defense but became the latest team who couldnt stop Lin. I was talking to them before the game and they were saying they had an answer for Lin, said Knicks center Tyson Chandler, who played for the Mavs last season, I guess they were dead wrong on their scouting report. Playing for the seventh straight game without the injured Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks got a huge lift from Smith, signed just Friday after returning from China. Coach Mike DAntoni had previously said Smith wouldnt play Sunday since he hadnt practiced yet. But when swingman Bill Walker also had to sit out with an injury, DAntoni needed someone at that position, and Smith hit three of the Knicks 12 3-pointers.

Hours after the opening of Saturday Night Live spoofed the Lin phenomenon, the point guard had 28 points and a career-high 14 assists to carry the Knicks to a 10497 victory that ended the Dallas Mavericks six-game winning streak. Looking back, its like I was watching them win the championship last year, and thats obviously where this team wants to go, Lin said. This is helpful to us, not just to me but to us, just to be able to see where our team can go and what we can become, and I think thats the biggest takeaway from tonight, he said.

seasons more than eight decades ago. Weve got a good thing going, but we need to take it on the road, Miller said. The Red Wings have won nearly 90 percent of their games at home and are .500 away from Joe Louis Arena. Detroit coach Mike Babcock said goaltender Jimmy Howard, who has been out two-plus weeks with a broken right index nger, will start in the next game Tuesday night at Chicago. Joey MacDonald, the teams third-string goaltender when Howard was hurt, made 31 saves for his sixth straight win. MacDonald planned to sleep at his Motor City hotel Sunday night, not knowing if he would wake up and head to play for the AHLs Grand Rapids Grifns or stay with the Red Wings. Whatever decision they make, Ill be happy with it, MacDonald insisted. If I do get sent down, Ill go do the same thing. Howard wasnt rushed back because MacDonald took full advantage of his chance to play ahead of backup Ty Conklin. If things werent going good, Howie wouldve been in two or three games ago, Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. It has worked out real well. Henrik Zetterberg and Miller gave Detroit a two-goal lead midway through the second period and Darren Helm restored the two-goal edge 7:01 into the third. Logan Couture scored late in the second period for the Sharks and Patrick Marleau pulled them within a goal with 4:44 left. The Pacific Division-leading Sharks have lost six of eight. We were much happier with the effort, San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. But it is still a loss and we cant get caught up in satisfaction points. San Joses Antti Niemi gave up a goal on the second shot he faced and nished with 25 saves. The Red Wings snapped a vegame losing streak against San Jose in the regular season, beating a team that has eliminated them in the second round in each of the past two postseasons. We have a lot of rivals, but thats the one we seem to play a lot in the playoffs, Zetterberg said. So, you want to win each game against them. As Sharks captain Joe Thornton was leaving the arena, someone said hed see him again in Detroit for the playoffs. Absolutely, Thornton said with a beaming smile. Detroit got off to a good start

Red Wings beat Sharks,win 23rd straight at home

By Larry Lage
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT The Detroit Red Wings are losing track of how many games in a row theyve won at home. Detroit won its 23rd straight at Joe Louis Arena, setting an NHL multiple-season mark for home dominance by holding on to beat the San Jose Sharks 3-2 Sunday. Where are we at with the streak? asked Drew Miller, who scored for the Red Wings. The streak is cool, but were more concerned with how were playing and to keep our spot in the race. The Red Wings won their sixth straight game, all in a homestand, and have an NHL-high 84 points. Detroit, which broke the leagues single-season record of 20 on Tuesday, surpassed the 22 wins in a row the Boston Bruins had over two

against the Sharks, getting goals from Zetterberg 6:30 into the game and Miller midway through the second, but it wasnt easy to beat them as usual. Couture was credited for a goal after video review that bounced off the top of the net and appeared to be whacked into the net by Detroits Justin Abdelkader on a power play with 5:27 left in the second period. Millers centering pass set up Helm for a shot from the slot in the third. Later in the period, Marleau nished off a goal-mouth scramble by stuffing the puck past MacDonald. I thought we had them on their heels a lot, Thornton said. If we play like that, well be ne. It felt like we had a lot more chances, but obviously they won. San Joses Marc-Edouard Vlasic left the game with a cut on his nose, getting hit by a deflected puck.

ing 57 percent from the floor in the first half. Knight led all scorers with his 15 points. Burlingame, on the other hand, shot 28 percent from the field. The key to the game was spacing, White said, and to go iso and then attack the gaps and the rest would be open to knock down shots. Its what we work on. Burlingame fought back like the champions they are, getting to within three points at 37-34 with 1:38 left in the third quarter and come the end of the period, the deficit was still only five points. But, like his teammate Knight before him, Smith decided it was his turn to take over. With 5:16 left in the game, Burlingame was down just three with a chance to tie the game when Connor Haupt got an open look at a 3-pointer. But his shot rattled in and out. Little did the Panthers know it was be the closest they would get to El Camino the rest of the way. Smith was efficient from the outside, scoring 15 points in the second half. White added 10 points. Frankie Ferrari and the rest of the Panthers did their best to try and stay within striking distance. No. 4 scored 15 points in the second half and finished the game with 22. When we played defense, it was really good, Junio said. When we didnt, oh my god, it got scary at times. In the end, I think our execution on defense and offense stepped up. And that was big for us. It was personal, White said. Our coach told us before the game that they (Burlingame) wanted this. So whoever wanted it more was going to win, basically.

and got Michael his touches in the second half. That trio is very unselfish amongst each other. Thats how it works. Thats what has made them successful all year. Were a trio, White said. I cant do it all by myself. Having played the Colts twice in the regular season and falling flat, Burlingame seemed to tweak some things prior to Saturdays championship game. Their different looks on defense worked for the majority of the matchup. But El Camino came up big during crucial stretches of play. We couldnt get the defensive stop when we needed it, Dowd said. We couldnt get the shot to go down when we needed it. And I think you have to tip your hat to El Camino. Theyre a tough team. They beat us three times and we have to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to get past this. I was proud of my guys for fighting back. The score was 14-10 after one quarter of play. El Camino scored the last four points after the teams were tied at 10. The Colts and Panthers drew even again at 17. It was then that Knight took over. The El Camino guard went on a 6-0 run, driving to the basket on three occasions to build a 23-17 on his own. He then assisted on the next Colts hoop and just like that El Camino was up 25-17. The Colts led 30-19 at recess after shoot-

not going to run anymore and theyre just going to go for the kill. Terra Nova deated San Mateo from the onset. The smallest decit the Bearcats faced was three points when the score was 5-2 with 5:52 left in the rst quarter. From then on, it was all Tigers, all the time. Terra Nova shot 55 percent in the rst quarter, building a 22-10 lead after one. And not matter what San Mateo tried, there simply was no stopping the offensive machine that is the Tigers. Tauala was perfect from the oor in the rst quarter, Cook-Taylor was all over the boards and Moe was simply sensational, scoring 20 points in the half as shot by shot, Terra Nova kept increasing their lead. Theyre phenomenal players, Summerville said of his trio. I think that because a lot of people dont give them the credit, but when you have three super guards out there, I think this year the PAL teams, they couldnt do any box-runs, they couldnt do any triangle-runs - they had to play straight up. Everybody on that team can score and right now, were just clicking. I think the biggest difference is that we were making those little mistakes, Dinges said. I said in the pregame, we cant make these little mistakes. Its the little things that will allow us to win - going to the ball, getting set on your shot, no turnovers. And that was

the difference, we didnt do the little things. Not doing the little things meant huge problems for San Mateo - the Bearcats trailed 4520 at the half as they continued to struggle from the eld (28 percent shooting) and on the other hand, Terra Nova personied efciency (20-of-37 from the oor). In the second half, Summerville said, we just wanted to make sure that we kept pushing them and made them quit. That was our game plan. Im not going to give up on a game at halftime, Dinges said. I told them were a better team that this. Its just up to us to prove that we can hang with Terra Nova. We can be that team. But it wasnt until the fourth quarter that kind of desire came out. Terra Nova nailed the cofn in the third quarter, out-scoring San Mateo 21-7 - their largest lead reached 42 points. San Mateo made their lone run in the fourth quarter, trimming the eventual margin to 26 points. Moe nished with 28 points, her third such performance in tournament history. Her 281 points in the PAL tourney rank her rst alltime. Cook-Taylor added 15 points and 14 rebounds. Tauala nished with 17. It was a rough night overall for San Mateo. Their leading scorer throughout the year and First Team All-PAL guard, Simon, nished with 18 points on 7-of-24 shooting. Terra Nova shut down almost everyone else. The season isnt over for the Tigers or Bearcats. The two will represent the PAL in the Central Coast Section playoffs which tipoff tomorrow.

Box office too close to call

By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

m not sure if its because of the leap year, the three-day weekend or Linsanity, but I feel like we need a myth busters column. First, Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA animals do not run out of time once they are made available for adoption. As long as they are healthy (physically and mentally), they remain available for adoption for as long as it takes us to nd a home. Since 2003, weve found homes for 100 percent of the healthy dogs and cats in our care. Myth buster #2: We are not part of local government and were not afliated with any national animal welfare organizations. The Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA is a private, independent nonprot. We are contracted to provide animal control services for our county and all 20 cities (by their choice and ours ... a relationship weve had since the mid-1950s). Next, our shelter is not a no-kill shelter; were much more! Like a no-kill shelter which limits its admissions and generally accepts just those animals that can be easily placed into new homes, we also accept and nd homes for those animals. In addition, generous donations allow us to make well about 200 treatable animals each month. These are animals with broken bones and/or broken spirits who would likely have nowhere else to turn. Heres another one: for years, some local residents would refer to us as the pound. If you spend one minute inside our new Center for Compassion on Rollins Road in Burlingame, I guarantee pound will not come to mind. Finally, some people believe a small amount of their help a modest donation or a few volunteer hours wont make a difference. Truth is, we dont consider any amount of help insignicant or small; we rely on donations of all sizes to do all we do for animals in San Mateo County and beyond. Scott oversees PHS/SPCAs Adoption, Behavior and Training, Education, Outreach, Field Services, Cruelty Investigation, Volunteer and Media/PR program areas and staff from the new Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion.

LOS ANGELES The Presidents Day weekend box ofce was too close to call as the action tale Safe House and the love story The Vow competed for the No. 1 spot. Based on Sundays studio estimates, Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds Safe House had a slim lead with $24 million from Friday to Sunday. That put it a fraction ahead of Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatums The Vow with $23.6 million. The winner wont be known for certain until Tuesday, when studios will report nal numbers for the long holiday weekend. Final numbers often vary from weekend projections, which include estimates for the size of Sundays audiences. No matter which one nishes on top, the movie business remains unusually brisk for winter, typically a slow season at theaters. The business uptick comes after Hollywood lumbered through a humdrum holiday season at the end of last year, when audiences were apathetic about most new releases. I still think people dont want to stay home, and if you give them good choices, you get them out, said Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal Pictures, which released Safe House. The top-ve movies were bunched up tightly, with Nicolas Cages sequel Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance opening a close No. 3 with $22 million. Dwayne Johnsons family action tale Journey 2: The Mysterious Island was No. 4 with $20.1 million. Reese Witherspoons love-triangle comedy This Means War debuted at No. 5 with $17.6 million. Starring Washington as a CIA traitor on the run, Safe House raised its domestic total to $78.2 million. Sony Screen Gems The Vow, which features McAdams as an amnesiac caraccident victim becoming reacquainted with her husband (Tatum), lifted its total to $85.5 million. While Safe House and The Vow held up well, Sonys Ghost Rider follow-up came in below industry expectations, doing a bit less than half the $45 million the rst one pulled in with its 2007 debut. In Spirit of Vengeance, Cage reprises his

Ghost Rider:Spirit of Vengeance,earned $22 million at the box ofce over the weekend.

Top ten movies

1.Safe House,$24 million ($6 million international). 2.The Vow,$23.6 million ($6.8 million international). 3.Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, $22 million. 4.Journey 2:The Mysterious Island,$20.1 million ($26 million international). 5.This Means War,$17.6 million ($11 million international). 6.Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menacein 3-D,$7.9 million ($10 million international). 7.Chronicle,$7.5 million. 8.The Woman in Black,$6.6 million ($8.4 million international). 9.The Secret World of Arrietty,$6.4 million. 10.The Grey,$3 million.
Marvel Comics role as Satans bounty hunter, this time trying to save a child from the devil. Released by Warner Bros., Journey 2 is a modern take on Jules Vernes The Mysterious Island. It padded its total to $53.2

million. In 20th Century Foxs This Means War, Witherspoon plays a woman who captures the hearts of two CIA agents (Chris Pine and Tom Hardy), the spy guys going from best pals to rivals as they pursue her. Disneys English-language version of the Japanese animated hit The Secret World of Arrietty opened in narrower release and came in at No. 9 with $6.4 million. Based on Mary Nortons childrens novel The Borrowers, about tiny people living beneath the oorboards of a house, the lm features a voice cast that includes Carol Burnett, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett. The weekends overall domestic revenues totaled $160 million, up 10.7 percent from the same weekend last year, when Unknown led with a $21.9 million debut, according to box-ofce tracker Hollywood.com. So far this year, revenues have soared to $1.42 billion, a 19 percent increase from 2011s receipts. Every weekend this year has been up vs. the comparable weekend a year ago, so Hollywood is denitely on a roll right now, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian.

Anderson Cooper struggling in daytime

By DAvid Bauder
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK To celebrate the 100th episode of Anderson Coopers daytime talk show in an hour that airs Monday, a giant cup of frozen hot chocolate topped with whipped cream was wheeled onto the set after its star interviewed a svelte Janet Jackson. Something sweet was undoubtedly welcomed. Its been a tough stretch for Anderson, illustrating how difcult it can be to launch a successful television series from scratch. In six months, the show has weathered a scandal involving a scheduled guests serious injury, seen three top executives leave and a new one join midstream, and experimented with different formats to see what suits Cooper best. His ratings rank him above Wendy Williams and Steve Wilkos in the talk-show pecking order, but behind rivals Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, Ellen DeGeneres and Kelly Ripa. If not for a distribution deal that gives its syndicator, Telepictures Productions, what it considers more desirable network slots in cities like New York, Houston and Orlando, Fla., next season, some in the industry question whether Anderson would have survived. Still, Cooper and his staff are fighting and believe they have turned a corner. Any show takes time organical-

ly to figure out what it is, Cooper said. I think weve made a lot of progress in doing that and Im really pleased in where the show is and where the show is headed. Subject matter varies widely on Anderson in much the same way as it did on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Interviews with Jackson, Madonna and Angelina Jolie dominated recent hours. Topical segments ranged from extreme child discipline and the Penn State child sex scandal to advice on removing clutter and healthy cooking. The show usually stuck to one topic per hour when it first began, but since the arrival of new executive producer Terence Noonan, usually features two or three shorter segments. Theyre facing the same issue that everyone does, which is trying to figure out what they should be doing, said Bill Carroll, an expert in the syndication market for Katz Media. Finding their voice is the toughest thing for all of these shows. I think theyre still finding it. Less than a month into operation, Anderson had to deal with the fallout from a skateboarding accident where a boy went into a coma after being asked by show producers to provide footage of himself for an episode on the science of the teenage mind. The incident raised questions about whether the boy was encouraged by the show to take risks. The boy survived and is recovering. The story itself did not linger,

in part because the boys family sought privacy. Cooper and Telepictures would not discuss the incident and its aftermath, citing that privacy request. The original Anderson executive producers were Jim Murphy, a longtime broadcast newsman most recently executive producer of ABCs Good Morning America, and Lisa Morin, who worked at Winfreys Harpo Productions. Both were gone by the first of the year. In Murphys case, his news background probably meant for an uncomfortable fit with the daytime world, either for him or the show, maybe both. Also exiting Telepictures at the time was Cathy Chermol, a veteran producer who had been assigned to help with the Anderson startup. The New York Post reported that Chermol and Cooper clashed over her instructions to the audience not to hold back emotions during a show on the Penn State scand a l . Cooper said he would not discuss personnel issues and Chermol could not

immediately be reached for comment. People can express themselves, but they dont need to be reminded of that or encouraged to do that by anyone on the staff, he said. If that was true, its not something that would be acceptable to me. Cooper said the behind-thescenes turnover was completely normal for a new show. As the show evolves and it becomes more topical and as it changes, different people have different strengths, he said. To me, its not surprising. Its pretty expected in this business. The new producer, Noonan, is a daytime veteran familiar with the needs of an audience that is nearly three-quarters women. He worked on Dr. Oz and was familiar to Telepictures through his work on the companys talk show with R o s i e ODonnell. Telepictures President Hilary Estey McLoughlin has also played an active role in pushing for change. Too many of the early shows were recorded well in

advance and lacked sharp hooks, she said. Earlier hours included Andersons Costco Adventure and shows on psychics and pets. We definitely want to talk about issues that are capturing everyones attention, McLoughlin said. Whats great about Anderson is he can elevate the material. Its smart, its informational and at the same time he has the personality to make it entertaining. He has a great sense of humor and is able to bring a tremendous amount of range to the shows. Noonan talks about layering the shows and trying different ideas. The Janet Jackson hour was partly filled by Coopers interview, for instance. But they also brought on a trio that danced to Jacksons music so the star could surprise them, and offered diet tips from Jacksons chef and exercises from her personal trainer. Cooper gets up from his stage chair frequently to interact with the audience, another new wrinkle. So far, Cooper has been able to keep up the pace with his different jobs. His studio at Manhattans Columbus Circle overlooks a breathtaking view of midtown Manhattan and is only steps away from the New York offices of CNN, where he anchors a primetime news hour. While not great, the Anderson ratings are acceptable given the shows time slots, Carroll said. Next season, Katie Couric becomes part of the competition, and it will be time to step it up.

HISTORY
Continued from page 3
nal elements by outlawing horse racing at Ingleside Race Track. The patrons of horse racing simply moved to and built a race track in the San Bruno area where laws were lax or unenforceable. The Daly City area woke up to nd a couple of boxing facilities within their midst one within a block of the border and another where Jefferson High School was later built. The boxing industry dominated the Daly City/Colma territory for many years

until it was outlawed in the 1910s. The biggest problems came in the form of card playing, roulette and dice and John Marchbank controlled the lucrative northern territory of the county. This type of activity became rampant with criminal activity and spread throughout the entire community but manifested itself mainly along the northern San Mateo County border. The Geneva Club operated along this border, as well as many other clubs. Geneva Avenue was sort of the dividing line for gambling dens as the proprietors of the dens could erect a building that stood on both San Francisco County and San Mateo County and when the sheriff raided the joint the patrons simply moved out of the

sheriffs jurisdiction by walking to the opposite side of the room. A division called Bayshore was formed in the Brisbane area where greyhound racing was started as well as slot and card emporiums such as Dicks Towers. The Oriental Gambling Emporium worked out at the Cow Palace area. The Colma area became famous for the Cabbage Patch, The Willow Tree, Lovchen Gardens and John Marchbanks The Northern Club and Villa Mateo. Along Skyline Boulevard and Alemany, the Silver Saddle Club operated. South San Francisco had The Smoke Shop at Weltes and the Pine Hut Bar had slots in Belmont. Slots were operating at the Green Frog Tavern on Woodside Road, etc., etc.

More than 7,000 slot machines were calculated to be in action in San Mateo County in the 1940s. As the county grew in population, the new breed of citizens demanded that these activities cease and the creation of incorporated cities stemmed much of this activity. It took many years, however, before the stigma of the wild-open activity of the early 1900s faded from many of the cities that were affected the most.
Rediscovering the Peninsula by Darold Fredricks appears in the Monday edition of the Daily Journal.

Scouts to turn over files in sex abuse case

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA BARBARA A judge overseeing a lawsuit brought by the family of a California boy molested by his troop leader in 2007 has ordered the Boy Scouts of America to hand over condential les detailing allegations of sexual abuse by Scout leaders around the nation. The Santa Barbara County Superior Court judge said last month that the Irving, Texas-based organization must turn over the last 20 years worth of records by Feb. 24, with victims names removed, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday The les will not be made public. Known as ineligible volunteer les,

the documents have been maintained since the 1920s and are intended to keep suspected molesters and others accused of misconduct out of Scouting. Scouts ofcials have resisted releasing them and wont discuss their contents, citing the privacy rights of victims and the fact that many les are based on unproven allegations. The ofcials deny that the les have been used to conceal sexual abuse. These les exist solely to keep out individuals whose actions are inconsistent with the standards of Scouting, and Scouts are safer because of them, Deron Smith, public relations director of Boy Scouts of America, told the Times. hour and $2 for the second, currently it costs 75 cents per hour; $1 per hour for all other one to four hour meters in the core area, a 24 cent increase; and 30 cents per hour for nine- and 10-hour parking lots, a 5 cent increase. Its not just cost for parking thats changing. Hours will be shifted. Parking meters will be enforced two additional hours, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. And, Lot K, on El Camino and Fox Plaza Lane, will be converted from a 10-hour lot to twohour and four-hour parking. Parking is part of a larger plan to upgrade the downtown streetscape. The area is slated to be have water and sewer upgrades. Burlingame officials have been working in hopes of completing the work at the same time. In the proposed timeline, an engibers on it and city staff hope if they can gure out which is the serial number the foundation can narrow down a more specic history. The city is also reaching out to other museums around the country in hopes of tracking down the tanks origins. We want to conrm what we think we know and nd out what we dont, Smith said. Once the information is collected and veried, the history will become part of an informational panel commemorating the tank and the wars. The city also plans to make the ground surrounding the tank a bit more attractive, adding tan bark to cover up the fact the incredibly heavy tank is sinking. If the city had the money, it would consider a foundation something that should have been done initially but it is extremely expensive and the shifting rst visit to the Bay Area. While it kicks off in Redwood City with Arab Comedy by the Bay, Durrah promises there are no cultural inside jokes. Funny is funny, he said, adding he particularly enjoys when people come to the show with low expectations. Its those people, he said, who often have the best time. Durrah is traveling west from the Washington, D.C. area, where he calls home. Since he was a teen, friends encouraged him to be funny. It wasnt due to a simple impression or one liner. Instead, Durrahs tendency to go on long, funny rants that took over conversations led to the conclusion that standup comedy might be the right path. Until giving in to working in comedy, Durrah had many jobs he said helped train him travel agent, marketing, banking. Jobs, as he said, that required people skills. You need to be able to deal with negative feedback, he said, which reopening would have been delayed, causing a nightmare of a commute into San Francisco on Tuesday morning. A wet weather system was expected to arrive in the region late Sunday, but the skies were clear while crews worked on the structure over the weekend. While the road was closed, people using the Golden Gate Bridge to drive into San

The Santa Barbara case is signicant because it seeks to unlock les that have never been turned over by the Scouts, including all since 2005. It also alleges wrongdoing that took place relatively recently, even as the Scouts have stepped up protective efforts. The trial is scheduled for April, nearly ve years after the boy, then 13, was molested by volunteer troop leader Al Stein at a Boy Scouts Christmas tree sale in Goleta. Stein pleaded no contest to felony child endangerment in 2009. He was sentenced to two years in prison but was paroled early and is living in a Salinas motel with other sex offenders, his attorney Steven Balash said. neers report for formation of the assessment district would go before the council soon. If approved, public notices and ballots would be sent to property owners. If less than half protest, then the council can hold a public hearing and approve the district in April or May. Designing plans and bidding for contractors should take through the end of the year. Construction is estimated to take eight to 10 months and start in the spring of 2013. The council meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road.

for parking, but the new machines cost $300,000 annually over 10 years. In addition, Murtuza estimated $100,000 would be needed yearly over a 15-year period to upgrade deteriorated lots, including the lighting. Lastly, a $40,000 sign plan, which would be broken down annually, is also proposed. In total, $805,000 would need to be raised annually to cover the costs, Murtuza wrote. The TSP Commission recommended a plan that would raise $790,000. Among the changes include: a tiered rate on Burlingame Avenue of $1 for the rst

the Veterans of Foreign Wars as a memorial and commemoration of those who served in World War I and World War II, according to city records. Other than that, the city is at a bit of a loss. Even the San Mateo County Historical Association doesnt have any more information than that already in Redwood Citys hands, said President Mitch Postel. Aside from asking residents what they know, the city is also turning to the Military Vehicle Technology Foundation, a Portola Valley museum and institute that houses a large collection of equipment. The tank has a number of, well, num-

isnt causing a problem other than being an eyesore, Smith said. Parallel to the quest for information on the tank, the city is also sprucing up its surroundings. The plan for Mezes Park, slated to kick off late this year, includes new rest rooms, some regrading, new picnic tables, improvements to the toddler play area, replacing some trees and walkway improvements. If all goes as planned, Smith anticipates completion by early 2013. Anyone with information, recollections or photographs of the tank at Mezes Park are asked to contact Claudia Olalla in the citys engineering division at colalla@redwoodcity.org.

A group of girls actually walked in and asked him to clean a table at which they wanted to sit. Durrah threw a towel over his shoulder and obliged. After the show, the same girls wanted his picture. Who wants to take a picture with the bus boy? he laughed and said when sharing the story. Durrahs goofy sense of humor, and willingness to work at his craft, paid off. After the show, the producer welcomed Durrahs call. Durrah has been on the stage since. Hes coming to San Mateo County this week for three shows his

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2012 PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)In your dealings, do what you can to let the other party feel that he or she is the only one who truly knows how to gratify your requirements. If you do, it will gain you extra consideration. ARIES (March 21-April 19)One of your nobler attributes is your loyalty to your friends. You might get a chance to prove this when one of your pals needs you to stand by him or her. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Because you perform so well while under pressure, you arent likely to back away from any challenging developments. You will

have plenty of reserves from which to draw, and they will be responsible for your victory. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)If you have something good in the hopper, first check with your best friends to see if they want a piece of it before you bestow it to just anybody. Your pals would do the same for you. CANCER (June 21-July 22)Someone who has only given you half-hearted support when you needed it in the past might make a remarkable turnabout and go all-out to help you. Be sure to show your gratitude. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)To your credit, youll do what you can to put those with whom youre involved completely at ease. In doing so, it will imbue your arrangements with harmony and pleasant associations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)A person who has unfairly misjudged you in the past based on distorted information will change his or her tune after spending some quality time with you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)Its never wise to let your heart rule your head, yet today could produce an exception to that rule. You might find it best to allow compassion to take precedence over practicality. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)Changes you are likely to be instrumental in making will affect your family in ways that will win you praise from all concerned. Itll make you feel good that you did what you did. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)Youll consider it very important to let the one you love know how you

truly feel about him or her. Expressing sincere devotion will elevate this persons spirits and make the day a special one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You could do rather well for yourself when the results of your good work are tallied. The secret to success is perseverance. Like a cat on a clothesline, hang in there. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)As long as its sincere and deserved, flattering another can score points for you like nothing else. Go out of your way to compliment anyone whom you feel warrants special notice. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
