The art of ramen
Noodle houses serve up popular bowls of broth
By Emily DeRuy
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
At lunchtime, the line at Santa
Ramen noodle house in San Mateo
is out the door. People fill the tables
and chairs crowded into the tiny
restaurant, slurping ramen and chat-
tering, while others wait to be seat-
ed. The line moves quickly and cus-
tomers at the front file into chairs
while others join the throng at the
back.
The scene is a far cry from 1986,
when owner Kazunori Kobayashi
moved to the United States from
Japan.
“In Japan, there are noodle houses
everywhere,” he said. “When I
came, there were not many around
here.”

Making time for family
City of Good Living celebrates Week of the Family
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Carlos once had a bowling alley, a
miniature golf course, even racquetball courts.
But times change and places to gather —
particularly for the city’s younger residents
and families — have dwindled. What hasn’t
changed, though, is the idea that families need
time together.
Beginning Saturday, the City of Good
Living will make good on its promise to put
families first for the 12th year, kicking off a
week of activities meant to remind families
they are as important as any job, school or
activity.
The week even has defined goals spelled out
in its brochures and website: strengthen family
relationships, promote family life, honor and
pay tribute to families, encourage each other
and provide the tools that help families func-
tion.
And the biggie — have lots of fun.
Don’t worry if you don’t have the stereotyp-
ical mom, dad and 2.5 kids. Families are how-
ever one defines them, said organizer and for-
mer mayor Don Eaton. Past participants have
included PFLAG members and extended rela-
tives and friends “adopted” for the week.
“We’re just about coming out as families,
whatever that is. We’re not discriminating,”
Eaton said.
That includes ages, too. All are welcome, be
it 8 months, 8 years or 88.
Eaton also notes no families are perfect
which is why the city, unlike similar celebra-

No matter what activity grabs people’s atten-
tion, Eaton said the point is togetherness.
During its infancy, family week was held in
September but schools said it was too difficult
to participate. Taking a cue from a similar cel-
ebration in Blue Springs, Mo., the city moved
the week to January where Eaton said it has
taken off and flourished.
Each year is slightly different, with past
events including chili cook-offs, art contests
and dances.
The City Council has little say over what pri-
vate entities come into the city or stay; the
body can’t dictate that youth and family-ori-
ented venues be located within the city’s bor-
ders. However, there are other ways to pro-
mote the family, Eaton said, which is what
sparked the city’s tradition.

Fatal shooting suspect takes murder deal
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The accused getaway driver in a marijuana-
related robbery that turned fatal pleaded no
contest to first-degree murder Friday as part of
a negotiated deal that spares him the possibil-
ity of life imprisonment without parole.
As part of the settlement, Neil Prakash
Chand, 21, must cooperate with authorities on
the prosecution of co-defendant Jimmy
Nabong, who prosecutors say actually shot
Shivnesh Reddy.
A number of factors played a role in offer-
ing the deal, said prosecutor Al Giannini.
“In the first place, Mr. Chand’s testimony
will certainly help in the prosecution of Mr.
Nabong. We thought it was important to bol-
ster the case against him. Also, we do not
School eyes accounts of sex by second graders
By Terence Chea
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — A second-grade teacher in
Northern California was placed on leave while
a school and police investigate accounts by
students that classmates engaged in oral sex
and stripped off some of their clothes during
class, officials said Friday.
The investigation was under way at
Markham Elementary School in Oakland,
where the principal notified parents of the sit-
uation in a letter Thursday.
“We believe if the reports are true, there was
a serious lapse of judgment or lack of super-
vision in the classroom,” said Troy Flint, a

actual shooter,” Giannini
said.
Defense attorney Mike
DeVoy did not return a call
for comment.
Chand will serve 25
years to life in prison. If
tried and convicted on
Neil Chand charges of murder and the
special allegations of
using a gun and killing a person during the
commission of a robbery, he would have
received life without parole.
Nabong is scheduled to begin his trial
Monday, Jan. 24.
On Oct. 29, 2008, Nabong, then 17, is
believed to have shot and killed Reddy from
inside a car driven by Chand, then 19. The two

have happened. It seems unthinkable to us,
just the same way it does to the public.”
The male teacher, whose name has not been
released, told investigators he did not see any
of the acts that authorities suspect occurred
last week. The teacher is barred from campus
at least until the investigation is completed.
The principal learned of the allegations
Wednesday after a student gave an account to
a teacher’s assistant, Flint said.
“Upon hearing these reports, we immediate-
ly launched an investigation which, to date,
suggests that the reports have merit,” Principal
Pam Booker wrote in the letter to parents. “We
had allegedly planned to
rob Reddy of money he
was using to purchase mar-
ijuana. Several residents
called police shortly before
9 p.m. to report a person
lying on the ground in the

have interviewed all the student participants
who were implicated, as well as their teacher,
and we continue to investigate the matter
aggressively.”
One incident involved several students who
partially undressed and acted disruptively dur-
ing class, while the other involved students
who engaged in oral sex, district officials said.
“I apologize for this and assure you that we
are collaborating with counselors and parents
to provide support to those involved, address
any concerns and take whatever actions are
necessary to ensure that a similar act does not
occur again,” Booker told parents in the letter.
Counselors were at the school Friday to
speak with students.

Bus stop arsonist
to receive mental
treatment over jail
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A formerly hospitalized man who set six
fires at SamTrans bus stops along El Camino
Real will receive mental treatment rather than
incarceration for unlawful-
ly causing a fire.
Thomas Alfred Maynor,
40, pleaded no contest in
November to the felony in
return for dismissal of six
counts of arson. On Friday,
Judge Mark Forcum
agreed to admit Maynor
for Pathways, the county’s Thomas
mental health program, Maynor
rather than send him to jail
for up to six months.
San Mateo police arrested Maynor Oct. 27,
2009 after responding to a call about six fires
set in garbage cans and a chair at SamTrans
bus stops in that city and Burlingame. All the
blazes were within a one and a half mile stretch
of El Camino Real and an officer spotted
Maynor walking near one fire, according to
prosecutors.
When contacted, Maynor had in his posses-
sion a bottle of highly flammable pink tire
lubricant and a red Bic lighter. The fluid
matched pink liquid found on the burning chair.
Last January, a judge found Maynor not com-
petent to stand trial on the several arson charges
and committed him to Atascadero State
Hospital. In August, doctors there found him
again able to aid his own defense and sent him
back to San Mateo County for prosecution.

Local transportation projects get $115M from state

By Patricia Decker
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
In an effort to spur economic growth
and rebuild infrastructure, the California
Transportation Commission announced
Thursday the allocation of $1 billion to
state transportation projects, including
more than $115 million doled out to Bay
Area projects.
“From one end of the state to the other,
transportation projects are providing
jobs and improving mobility for people
and businesses,” California Department
of Transportation Director Cindy
McKim said in a statement Thursday.
State unemployment rate
increases to 12.5 percent
One in eight California residents was
unemployed as of December, state offi-
cials said in a report released Friday.
The state’s unemployment rate
increased from 12.4 percent in
November to 12.5 percent last month,
according to the California Employment
Development Department.
The state’s unemployment rate is well
The largest local allocation of $38.8
million will be used to construct new
high-occupancy vehicle lanes on
Highway 101 in Marin County near
Novato.
Other projects awarded money include
$32.6 million for the construction of
auxiliary lanes on Highway 101 in San
Mateo County between University
Avenue and Marsh Lane; $22.8 million
for widening Highway 101 between Old
Redwood Highway and Pepper Lane in
Petaluma; and $21.4 million for traffic
light synchronization in Contra Costa
and Alameda counties.

mission includes $838 million from

to 9.4 percent in December, the depart-
ment said.
Marin County had the lowest unem-
ployment rate in the Bay Area at 7.9 per-

measure that authorized the state to sell
about $20 billion of general obligation

aimed at relieving congestion, with the
side effects of improving air quality and

The lion’s share of the Proposition 1B
funds — $11.2 billion — is slated for

counties were at 10.8 and 10.4 percent,
respectively.
The EDD estimated that the number of
Californians holding jobs in December
2010 was 15,946,000, which was a
decrease from November 2010 but an
increase of 78,000 from the year before.
The unemployment rate is based on a
federal survey of 5,500 California house-
holds and does not include agricultural
jobs, which are handled by another
department.
Effort on to save Caltrain
A broad effort is under way to save Caltrain from financial
ruin that includes discussions of placing a regional tax on the
ballot and transferring future property tax revenue on new
developments in the corridor, for instance.
Caltrain lacks a dedicated funding stream and faces a $30
million deficit next fiscal year, which starts in July. Under the
current budget scenario, cuts could be as severe as a reduction
in service to 48 trains that would operate only during the week-
day commute, according to Caltrain.
All other service would be eliminated including weekday
service outside the commute peak, weekend service and serv-
ice to Gilroy. The schedule also would require the suspension
of service at up to seven stations, according to Caltrain.
The Silicon Valley Leadership Group has made saving
Caltrain its top regional priority and hosted a summit Friday at
Stanford University to find solutions for the transit agency’s
financial troubles. A grassroots group, Friends of Caltrain,
formed recently to also find Caltrain a dedicated source of
funding. One of its leaders is Yoriko Kishimoto, former Palo
Alto mayor.
Kishimoto supports a new revenue source, such as a regional
gas tax, to keep Caltrain afloat. Kishimoto envisions the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission helping to coordinate
a regional fee or tax. It could be a sales tax, parcel tax or pay-
roll tax, Kishimoto said.
Caltrain welcomes the support.

Letters to the editor
Paranoia pervading columnist
Editor,
If I didn’t know better, after reading
Keith Kreitman’s latest partisan rant in
the Jan. 15 edition of the Daily Journal,
I’d think the Nazis had taken control of
this country. Keith is in serious need of
medical treatment for acute paranoia or
amnesia.
If I have my facts right, Nancy Pelosi
was able to strong-arm enough
Democrats last March to pass
Obamacare in the dead of night. Since
that time, many who voted for the bill,
in spite of their own reservations, are
now out of a job in Washington.
Over half of the state’s attorneys
general are on board suing the federal
government over the constitutionality
of the bill itself. And more than half of
the American people are in favor of
outright repeal.
Why is that Keith? Are we so blind
to your wisdom, or are you blind to
anything but your own mantra of “tax
and spend” without proper thought? If
we don’t follow your “logic,” we’re
not “compassionate.”
We’ve heard this over and over
Keith. Were you out of the country last
November? Like an adult must tell a
child at times, “no.”

The Keith and Dorothy Show
Editor,
I have to commend the Daily
Journal for giving us columnists
Dorothy Dimitre and Keith Kreitman.
They are the epitome of liberal main-
stream media. Last week, Dorothy
goes on a rant about “Dubya” and
concludes that Californians are
smarter than the rest of the nation
because we don’t read things from the
likes of such people as “Dubya.”
You’re right Dorothy, does
California’s screwed-up; out-of-money
government prove your point. The
people get the kind of government
they vote for.
And now we have old “honest”
Keith back, he goes on a rant about
the Palin death panel lie. Keith, please
tell us why the original “death panel”
language was removed from the origi-
nal Obamacare package. Please tell us
why the language was slipped back in
over the holidays. Please tell us about
the e-mail that was sent to Democrats
to keep silent about said language.
Please, Keith, tell us.
Do we really want multiple layers of
law and government people in front
our personal decision-making? Is it
not worth debating? Kreitman then
goes on to complain that those nasty
Republicans never have any “good”

Single fire district needed
Editor,
The citizens of San Mateo County
would be well served by the establish-
ment of a single fire district that
serves the entire county a la Orange
County Fire and SacMetro Fire.
Piecemeal consolidations will con-
sume a lot of time and energy that
could be better served by a focus on
consolidating all the existing fire
agencies into one fire district. That
district would have its own elected
board and would focus solely on fire
and emergency medical response.
Given the current fiscal pressures on
all of the local agencies, this county-
wide consolidation would not only
save money but would actual improve
the level of services that could be pro-
vided.
Peter Carpenter
Atherton
The letter writer is currently serving
as a director of the Menlo Park Fire
Protection District but the above views
are his own. The MPFPD board is on
record as supporting consolidation.
Health care cuts
Editor,
Included in Gov. Jerry Brown’s $3
billion in health and welfare spending
cuts is a plan to end the adult day-care
program. Many people use the service
as a way to remain in their homes,
rather than moving into far more cost-
ly nursing homes.
Nursing homes can cost as much as
five times as much as In-Home
Supportive Services. The number of
skilled-nursing-center beds has dwin-
dled through the years as IHSS’s suc-
cess has grown at helping the elderly
continue living independently.

OPINION
Cutting services
isn’t the solution
Editor,
I thought the story “Brown taps polit-
ical skills to sell budget,” in the Jan. 18
edition of the Daily Journal was ridicu-
lous. Cutting services for the disabled
and seniors isn’t an option. As a dis-
abled person with severe cerebral palsy,
I can tell you that I and other people
with disabilities don’t get as much
service and assistance as we need.
We’re getting hit with 3.6 percent
reduction in In-Home Supportive
Services hours on Feb. 1. Not only this
will affect the disabled but the reduc-
tion affects the caregivers in a financial
way. Caregivers will get fewer hours
which mean less income.
Seniors and disabled need more than
the average human beings, and if we
get more cuts, how will the seniors and
the disabled live? Social Security hasn’t
increased for two years and the cost of
living is on the rise; cuts in services are
a horrible idea to fix the budget. A way
to fix the budget is to bill the seniors
and the disabled for disabled parking
placards.

Glad I didn’t vote for Obama
Editor,
Well, we should have known it was
coming. Just as Clinton did, Obama has
moved sharply to the right in the mid-
dle of his first term in order to assure
himself a second term as president in
2012.
He just announced that he is recom-
mending to Congress that they ease the
“outdated” regulations on Wall Street.
Those pesky regulations only serve to
prevent Wall Street from re-initiating
their greedy moves that caused the
greatest job killer since the Great
Depression.
Earlier, Obama announced that he
was appointing two new White House
advisers. One was his chief of staff,
Bill Daley, who used to be the lead
Washington representative of JP
Morgan Chase. The other advisor is
Tom Donilon, Obama’s new national
security adviser. Donilon was the for-
mer Washington lobbyist for Fannie
Mae. I sure am glad that in 2008 I
voted for the Green Party’s candidate
for president, Cynthia McKenney, and
that I didn’t “throw away” my vote on
Obama.

A decision
in infamy
I
n the Citizens United case, the Supreme Court’s conser-
vative majority created a decision that will live in infamy.
These hypocrites, who pride themselves in hewing to a
strict interpretation of the intent of the Constitution of the
United States, awarded corporations the same right as citizens
with regard to electioneering, allowing secret, unlimited contri-
butions from corporate treasuries to flow into the electoral
process, making in possible for the nation’s most powerful eco-
nomic interests to manipulate not only individual politicians
but the political issues themselves.
Where, in a strict interpretation of the intent of the founding
fathers, do they find such granting? It is true that the 1778
Constitution declared the slaves were counted as only as 3/5 of
a man but where was it written that artificial entities — the cor-
porations — are fully equal to
a man in elections? And when
Thomas Jefferson in the
Declaration of Independence
wrote, “All men are created
equal,” he did not write “All
men, corporations and labor
unions are created equal.”
Of course, it has become
clear that the conservative
majority justices have become
the handmaidens of the
American conservative move-
ment, with Justice Scalia,
shamelessly, regularly address-
ing their organizations and
giving them lectures on his
“strict” interpretation, but one not broad enough to find justifi-
cation for the Citizen United decision.
As a result, massively wealthy corporations are able to fund
and potentially redirect the popular will and influence American
elections and to do so secretly, even if or their stockholders are
mostly foreigners or other nations become major stockholders.
Even an attempt to enact a federal act to require disclosure of
the names of the founders was, of course, shot down by the
Republicans in the Congress. No surprise there. How much of
secret money will go into the presidential elections of 2012? As
far as the “strict” constructionists, there is their tendency to cre-
ate their own personal interpretations of what is “strict.”
We need to remember, the Constitution of the United States
is a living document, created by mortals. It is not akin to the
Ten Commandments, an immutable document sent down by
God, not to be amended or tampered with throughout all eter-
nity. On the other hand, our government was stitched together
into that document by an incredibly brilliant and pragmatic
gang of mortals to became a model for the world and has
served this secular nation for over 200 years.
Although Thomas Jefferson was inspired by some philo-
sophical ideology in composing the Declaration of
Independence, it was not molded by any about how an ideal
state should be organized, as has been passed down to us from
as far back as the ancient Greeks and flowered in the 18th and
19th centuries with Thomas Hobbes, Voltaire and Jean Jacques
Rousseau. And that later saw Karl Marx, who influenced
socialism and the “superman” theories of Friedrich Nietzsche
that influenced Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Just about
every rigid ideology has failed while the United States still
thrives under a constitution honed from practical experience.
And now the new ideology for our times is political conser-
vatism, striving to strap our nation into its ideological vise of
less taxes on the rich, smaller government, passing the wealth
of the nation up to the already wealthy and giant corporations
and removing any monitoring and regulations in order to
restrain their excesses. We can already see the negative wages
of Reaganomics, which is a child of that ideology.
Some tout the practicality-molded Constitution as a justifica-
tion and support for that rigid ideology. However, had the
founders intended that 1787 Constitution be as immutable and
unchangeable throughout eternity as the Ten Commandments,
they would not have included provisions for amending it as the
years pass to keep it in tune with the changing times.
Some plead: “Give us back our America.” Which America?
The America of slaves, lynching, child labor or no vote for
women? A boom and bust America, when the Devil took the
hindmost and the wealthy took all of the money? How about
the time before 1954 when no Asian immigrant could be grant-
ed citizenship in our country? Or attacks on Irish Catholics and
other immigrants in the Northeastern states in the 19th century;
attacks on Italian immigrants and Puerto Ricans in the 20th
century and the race riots and lynching that followed the Civil
War. This is not 1787, with a population of four million. We
are over 300 million now, and no longer able to give back the
old America for which they yearn.
So, people want the Constitution to be what they want it to
be. Sometimes they get help from sympathetic “strict interpre-
tation” Supreme Court justices who create and anoint corpora-
tions the voting rights of humans that appear nowhere in the
Constitution of the United States.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Strong profits at
General Electric sent industrial stocks
higher Friday and helped the Dow
Jones industrial average notch its eighth
straight week of gains.
General Electric Co. gained 7.1 per-
cent, leading the 30 stocks that make up
the Dow. The conglomerate’s earnings
rose 52 percent on growth in equipment
orders and lending.
The company’s results helped send
industrial companies in the Standard

Bank of America Corp. lost 2 percent,
making it the weakest Dow stock. The
country’s largest bank reported a $1.6
billion loss in the fourth quarter after
setting aside more money to buy back
faulty home loans from investors.

GE boosts 4Q income 52 percent
NEW YORK — General Electric Co. said Friday that
fourth-quarter net income increased 52 percent as the com-

businesses.
The lending arm, GE Capital, drove the company’s
results in the final three months of 2010 as it dealt with
fewer loan defaults. Risky loans hammered the company
during the financial crisis, forcing GE to book huge write-
downs.
Industrial sales also rose during the fourth quarter and

NEW YORK — Facebook said Friday
it has raised $1 billion from non-U.S.
investors, which combined with an infu-
sion from Goldman Sachs and Russia’s
Digital Sky Technologies in December,
brings the haul from its latest round of
funding to $1.5 billion.
The investments value the social net-
working site at $50 billion, more than
the current market values of Yahoo Inc.
or eBay Inc., but below those of
Amazon.com Inc. and Google Inc.
Facebook did not say Friday how it
plans to spend the $1.5 billion.
The company, which is based in Palo
Alto, Calif., had the option to raise up to
$1.5 billion from non-U.S. investors
through Goldman, but limited the offer-

Google developing Groupon competitor
By Dana Wollman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Google Inc., which
has expanded beyond its core search
operations into mobile phones and other
products, is developing a local coupon
service similar to Groupon.
Like Groupon Inc., the service,
Google Offers, will offer time-limited
deals from local vendors, such as restau-
rants. Ten dollars, for example, might
people wanted in than got in.
Earlier this week, Goldman said it was
barring U.S. investors from taking part
in the Facebook offering, citing wide-
spread media coverage that could have
violated securities guidelines that govern
private placements.
The investments are in Facebook’s
Class A shares. The company’s Class B
shares, held by executives and early
employees hold 10 times the voting
power of the Class A stock. Facebook
created its dual-class stock structure in
2009 to give CEO Mark Zuckerberg and
other executives control over the compa-
ny. Google has a similar structure.
As anticipated, Facebook also said it
will start filing public financial reports
by April 30, 2012. While that doesn’t
buy $20 worth of food at a local cafi.
“Google is communicating with small
businesses to enlist their support and
participation in a test of a pre-paid
offers/vouchers program,“ said Google
Inc. spokesman Nate Tyler.
Google would not say when Offers
would be available or provide any more
details about its plans.
While Groupon is Google’s most
obvious competitor when it comes to
offering local deals, the field of coupon
technically mean an initial public stock
offering, that is the most likely outcome
because Facebook will have to make
many of the same disclosures of a pub-
licly traded company anyway.
The specific date for filing financial
reports comes because the company
expects to have more than 500 share-
holders by the end of April this year.
Once that happens, the Securities and
Exchange Commission requires it to dis-
close its financial results and other
details on a quarterly basis so that its
investors are adequately informed.
That requirement kicks in 120 days
after the first fiscal year in which a com-
pany exceeds the 500 shareholder
threshold. Since Facebook’s fiscal year
ends Dec. 31, the latest possible date
would be April 30, 2012.
It was the 500-shareholder rule that
prompted Google Inc. to go public in the
summer of 2004. If Facebook follows a
similar timeline, its IPO could come dur-
ing the summer of 2012.
sites has rapidly grown to include sites
such as LivingSocial and Tippr. Flash
sales site Gilt Groupe and the newsletter
DailyCandy also offer local deals.
Google has signaled it wants to
expand in local advertising. Last year, it
promoted Marissa Mayer, who oversaw
the company’s core search products to
grow the company’s geographic and
local services business, and gave her a
seat on the company’s operating com-
mittee of top decision-makers.

CEO Eric Schmidt made a surprise
announcement Thursday that he’s stepping
aside for co-founder Larry Page to become
chief executive. In a Twitter post, Schmidt
writes, “Day-to-day adult supervision no

Google’s early investors insisted on a more
mature leader. Yet Schmidt, 55, and the two
37-year-old co-founders, Page and Sergey

leave of absence. Jobs, 55, has survived a
rare but curable form of pancreatic cancer

announced Monday he is turning over day-
to-day operations to Tim Cook, Apple’s
chief operating officer. Jobs says he will
continue as CEO and will be involved in

he’ll be out.
HP:
The world’s largest technology company
by revenue is replacing a third of its board of
directors. It’s the first sweeping leadership
change under new CEO Leo Apotheker and
Chairman Ray Lane. HP has been roiled by
the abrupt ouster of former CEO Mark Hurd;
that move in August angered many share-
holders as billions of their dollars evaporated
on the stock market. The decision by four of
HP’s current board members to not stand for
re-election at HP’s annual meeting in March
represents an unusually large exodus for a
company of HP’s size. Five directors are set
to replace the four. HP’s announcement
came within minutes of Google’s on

Terra Nova holds off Mills
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For the second game in a row, the Terra
Nova girls’ basketball team was pushed to the
brink.
And for the second straight game, the
Tigers responded by holding off their oppo-
nents down the stretch. After holding on for a
52-45 win over San Mateo Tuesday, Terra
Nova completed its sweep of Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division teams this
week with a 51-46 victory over host Mills
Friday night.
“Right now, we’re getting everybody’s best
(shot),” said Terra Nova coach Kareem
Summerville. “Everybody wants to be in our
shoes. But [the Tigers are] staying humble.
They know can get beat by anybody.”
While Terra Nova (4-0 PAL Bay, 13-4 over-
all) — the reigning Bay Division and PAL
tournament champs — is known mainly for
point guard Terilyn Moe and shooting Ivonne
Cook-Taylor, teams can’t sleep on wing play-
er Jayzyl Tauala, who has had a quiet season.
Until Friday night. While Mills (2-2, 11-6)
kept Moe and Cook-Taylor is relative check
— the two combined for 19 points — the
Vikings had no answer for Tauala, who beat
the Vikings both inside and outside. She set
the tone early by hitting the Tigers’ first two
baskets of the game and she stayed in the zone
the entire game, finishing with a game-high
23 points.
“[Tauala] came up with some big shots
tonight,” Summerville said.
The same could not be said of Mills. The
Vikings executed well on offense and played
well defensively — forcing 10 Terra Nova
turnovers and coming up with 13 steals —
they just could not put the ball in the basket
when they needed it the most.
Mills trailed the entire game, but never fell
behind by more than 10 points. Each time it
appeared the Vikings were going to go down
big, they would go on a mini-run. Several
times they were within six points of the Tigers
— and even cut it to a four-point deficit head-
ing into the fourth quarter — but they could
not get over the hump.

Players to
testify at
Bonds trial
By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Some of Barry
Bonds’ former teammates, along with other
retired Major League Baseball players and
perhaps current player Jason Giambi, will
have to testify at the slugger’s upcoming per-
jury trial, a federal judge said Friday.
Lawyers for Bonds argued at a hearing
before U.S. District Court Judge Susan Illston
that the players should be excluded because of
their ties to Bonds’ former trainer Greg
Anderson, who is refusing
to testify against the slug-
ger.
Illston previously barred
much of the evidence
relating to Anderson
because of his willingness
to go to prison on con-
tempt charges rather than
testify at the trial set to
Barry Bonds start March 21.
Without his testimony, it
could be impossible to prove that urine sam-
ples that purportedly tested positive for
steroids had been collected from Bonds by
Anderson.
Dressed in a dark suit and slimmed down
from his San Francisco Giants playing days,
Bonds sat attentively at his lawyers’ table in
front of the judge during the hearing.
Illston also said she would consider on a
case-by-case basis whether to exclude other
evidence seized from Anderson’s home and
elsewhere that prosecutors want to show the
jury.
That includes a trove of documents created
by Anderson that prosecutors say connect
Bonds to blood and urine tests conducted at
the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, which
was at the center of a sports doping ring bro-
ken up by federal investigators.
The judge said prosecutors could call the
athletes to testify about their relationships

That and Ellis.
He made a 3-pointer to trim the deficit to one,
then got another chance after Pooh Jeter missed
his second free throw. Ellis whittled the clock
down, dribbling before making a jumper just
behind the free throw line over Evans with 0.9
seconds remaining to force overtime.
That was all Golden State needed.
Ellis made a pair of layups early in OT to help
the Warriors run away with another improbable
comeback victory over Sacramento.

History might not mean much this time
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — History tells us the
Pittsburgh Steelers belong. The New York
Jets? Not so much.
The 2010 season and playoffs, however,
have written their own version of history, with
a common theme: Anything can happen.
It already has to the Jets, who never had
won in the Steel City before edging the
Steelers 22-17 in December.
They also have humbled Peyton Manning
and Tom Brady in the playoffs — who does
that in consecutive weeks?
In a season when both conference title
games feature No. 2 seeds and against No. 6s,
it’s foolish to discount the Jets in Sunday
night’s AFC championship.
A franchise that validated the AFL’s talents
by winning the Super Bowl in 1969 has not
been back since. The Jets played for the con-
ference title in 1982, 1998 and last year. They
hadn’t even won postseason games in consec-
utive years until doing so last season and this.
“It’s been a long time for our fans and our
franchise,” said defensive end Shaun Ellis, a
first-round pick in 2000 and the current play-
er with the longest Jets career. “So for us to be
able to get to that point — and not just get
there, but get there and win it —would be

receiver Donald Driver, cornerback Charles
Woodson, left tackle Chad Clifton and
Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher will
start Sunday’s NFC championship game as
cornerstone players for their teams. They
SPORTS
huge for us.
“It’s time.”
Naturally, the Steelers
say otherwise. Their time
for AFC championship
games has been frequent:
this is No. 15 for
Pittsburgh, with a 7-7 split
thus far.
Shaun Ellis As for Super Bowls, no
franchise owns more than
Pittsburgh’s six Lombardi Trophies. The
Steelers have won it twice in the last six years,
after the 2005 and 2008 seasons.
They’re 4-point favorites, and part of the
oddsmakers’ belief in them has to stem from
their experience at this level.
“We have one standard,” coach Mike
Tomlin said. “That standard is winning.”
Hines Ward has lived up to that standard for
13 seasons, easily the most as a Steeler on the
current roster. He has been one of the fran-
chise’s greatest postseason performers and
was MVP of the 2006 Super Bowl.
He understands fully what has bred success
in Pittsburgh, and will continue to do so after
he is long gone.
“People try to compare this team to the
Super Bowl teams we played on, but every
team is different,” Ward said. “We’ve got a lot
of young guys and a lot of battle-tested guys
believe they have good
years left.
Still, any player in his
30s without a Super Bowl
ring doesn’t have to be told
that such opportunities are
hard to come by. While a
rivalry game with a trip to
the Super Bowl at stake
Donald Driver doesn’t really need any
extra juice, it’s even more
who have been there.
“What this team has that
impresses me is the
resiliency. To do it the way
we have done it, not hav-
ing Ben (Roethlisberger)
for four games (while he
was suspended), missing
Troy (Polamalu) for two or
Hines Ward three games, our offensive
line getting hurt. It’s been
remarkable to see the guys fill in.”
It’s the Steelers way.
“It starts up top,” Ward said of ownership,
the front office and coaching staff. “The 53-
man roster we pick in training camp, we
always say it will come down to the guys we
took back then. And it does.”
The Jets aren’t likely to be swayed by the
Steelers’ resume of success. They weren’t
intimidated by facing the Colts in Indy or the
Patriots in Foxborough — not even with the
fresh memory of being pummeled 45-3 at
Gillette Stadium five weeks earlier.
If anything, the Jets should be brimming
with confidence that they can match up well
with Pittsburgh, get key contributions from
their playmakers, and ride off with what truly
would be their biggest victory since Joe
Namath came through on his guarantee.
“We’ve talked about it quite a bit,” said vet-
urgent for veterans who
might never get another
shot this good.

like myself and Jason Taylor, even Shaun

field Sunday knowing he’s going to the Super

familiar with — the usually descriptive

can definitely imagine the feeling,” he said.
“Every year, you see a team that walks off that
field in the AFC championship game going to
the Super Bowl and you see the excitement on

Venus Williams Williams won just one of
the seven points she played

cial teams coordinator.
There is much work to be done for a fran-
chise that is counting on Harbaugh to turn the
once-proud 49ers into a perennial contender
and playoff team again. San Francisco started
0-5 and finished 6-10 this season after enter-
ing as an NFC West favorite following an
unbeaten preseason. The Niners haven’t had a
winning season since their last postseason
berth in 2002.
Harbaugh just spent four years at Stanford
transforming a program that was 1-11 the sea-
son before he arrived on The Farm. The
Cardinal reached the Sun Bowl in 2009 for
their first bowl berth since 2001, then went
12-1 with a 40-12 Orange Bowl victory over
Virginia Tech this season.
Now, he must get the 49ers on the upswing
in a hurry.
“That’s a hungry group, guys who haven’t
been to the playoffs,” Harbaugh said. “That’s
the way these guys are in the locker room that
I’ve found. I felt good about that. I had a feel-
ing that was the case and researched it as
much as I could. I felt good that I anticipated

The lunge to her right side on the last point
aggravated a muscle in her hip that she hurt
Wednesday night against Sandra Zahlavova. Her
thigh was heavily bandaged when she walked on
the court Friday.
“The last 48 hours I did as much pain man-

some balls ... just kind of standing still,” she
said. “Just kind of warming up standing still and
trying to give my best for the match.

Harbaugh will be busy in the coming weeks
evaluating potential quarterbacks, a position
he knows so well. The Niners are expected to
look to the April draft to add a quarterback to
their roster, too.
The former Michigan quarterback spent 15
seasons in the NFL with the Bears, Colts,
Ravens, Chargers and Panthers. A first-round
draft pick taken 26th overall by Chicago in
1987, Harbaugh completed 2,305 of 3,918
passes for 26,288 yards and 129 touchdowns
in the NFL. He also ran for 18 TDs.
“Do we need a topflight quarterback? Do
human beings need air to breathe?” Harbaugh
said. “I’m going to do my part and what I feel
is my knowledge of the position and make a
great evaluation of the quarterbacks on the
current roster and those that are out there that
we could bring to the 49ers.”
New general manager Trent Baalke, pro-
moted earlier this month from his position as
player personnel chief, said Smith will be
considered the same way any other free agent
is this offseason. San Francisco can re-sign its
own free agents before the official free agency
period begins March 4.

Things are looking far better for defending
champion Roger Federer. The second-seeded
Swiss beat Xavier Malisse 6-3, 6-3, 6-1, a vast
improvement on his five-set second-round win
over Gilles Simon.
Top-seeded Rafael Nadal plays 18-year-old
Australian wild card Bernard Tomic on Saturday
night. The Spaniard is trying to become the first
man since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four
major titles at once. Nadal made a quarterfinal
exit in Australia last year, then won the French
Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.

So they’d give me a chance to go shower.
They’d give me a chance to eat breakfast. But I
had to be out there at 9:30, because that’s when
they wanted to play. So I played with them for
about maybe an hour.”
Mays was back Friday where his big league
career, bringing along the San Francisco
Giants’ World Series trophy celebrating the
team’s first title since 1954. In a charming talk,
with Giants managing general partner Bill
Neukom and President Larry Baer sitting in the
front row, he made the “Willie, Mickey and the
Duke” era of flannel uniforms seem real and
vibrant in this iTouch age.
The kids had studied Mays’ life ahead of the
assembly, and Taveras even wrote a biography
about him, learning that he played in the Negro
Leagues.
“It was cool!” he said after meeting the
famous player.
Baer called the stickball photo of Mays his
favorite image in sports.
TIGERS

“I thought we did a good job,” said Mills
coach Dave Matsu. “I thought we did a good
job of executing. We missed a lot of two foot-
ers.”
The Vikings were led by point guard Kristen
Lastofka’s 13 points, while center Lexi Chierici

“Weaving a legend to come back to where he
made his mark and taking that trip through time
made me cry,” Baer said. “It’s such a return to
an innocent time — after a game or before
game, you’re by the ballpark playing ball with
the kids?”
Mays talked about the famous trio of center
fielders: himself for the Giants, Mickey Mantle
across the Harlem River with the Yankees and
Duke Snider over in Brooklyn with the
Dodgers.
“We would go to the All-Star game and Mick
and I would laugh at Duke,” Mays recalled.
“And we would laugh at him all the time and
say, ‘Hey man, you can’t play this game. We’re
better than you.”’
Most of all, it was the neighborhood memo-
ries that made the connection.
“There was a drugstore on the corner, and I
used to go buy ice cream every day. That was
day games,” he said, wearing his black-and-
orange “SF” cap. “Night games I started at
maybe say 4:30 or 5 o’clock. And they were
always there to make sure that I would be there
for them. I had a good time playing stickball.”
Called up to the Giants in 1951, Mays was on
deck when Bobby Thomson hit probably the
chipped in with 11.
The first quarter was a game of runs. With the
scored tied at 6, Terra Nova scored the next
seven points, only to see Mills respond with a
7-0 run of its own as the first quarter finished
tied at 15.
In the second quarter, the Tigers built a lead
they would never relinquish. They out-scored
the Vikings 10-2 to open the quarter and open
up a 25-17 advantage. Mills stemmed the run
by scoring the next five points to close to 25-
22, but Terra Nova scored the final three points
w w w. s m d a i l y j o u r n a l . c o m
most famous home run in baseball history, the
“Shot Heard ’Round the World” that won the
pennant over Brooklyn.
The Giants moved west in 1957, and the Polo
Grounds was demolished seven years later to
make room for the Polo Grounds Towers. The
kids knew that on the very same site they now
learned math, Mays and others had created
many famous baseball statistics. But a personal
appearance made it real.
With Harold Reynolds serving as master of
ceremonies and Arthur Tappan School
Principal George Young serving as host, the stu-
dents sang spirited renditions of “The Star-
Spangled Banner” and “Take Me Out to the
Ball Game.”
Mays reminded the kids that their parents
were their heroes, not athletes, and they should
extend their education for as long as they can.
Six children came onstage to ask him questions.
The Giants asked permission from the
Yankees and Mets to hold the event in their ter-
ritory. A team that makes sure to celebrate its
own history — during November’s World
Series parade, Mays rode in the same 1958
Chevy convertible he used in the celebration
when the Giants moved to California.
of the quarter to take a 28-22 lead into halftime.
Terra Nova pushed its lead to 10 in the third
quarter, but the Vikings rallied to close the gap
to four points, 38-34, going into the final eight
minutes.
In the final quarter, the Vikings had their
chances, but could not seem to buy a hoop.
While they did make 5 of 11 shots from the
field, they also missed several attempts around
the basket.
“If we make a few layups, we win that
game,” Matsu said.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
It was a morning for tying together eras.
“What we’re tying to do with this is get some
of our old-time fans to pass that loyalty on to
younger fans here in New York,” Neukom said.
“You could love the Mets and Yankees and still
care about the Giants, who started here.”
Most interesting was Mays’ answer about his
relationship Leo Durocher, Mays’ first manager
on the Giants. A famously flamboyant bon
vivant, Durocher was suspended by
Commissioner Happy Chandler in 1947 for
“association with known gamblers” and mar-
ried actress Laraine Day.
Mays called Leo his mentor, and guide to
Hollywood’s elite — from Frank Sinatra to
Sammy Davis Jr. to Cary Grant.
“Every movie star I wanted to meet, Leo
knew,” Mays said. “I wanted to meet Dean
Martin. We went to the studio, I got him. OK.
Then Cary. Then Sammy. Then I said I wanted
to meet Frank. He said, ‘No. No. No. You can’t
meet Frank.’ He said, ‘You’ve got to go to
Frank’s house and say, “Frank. I’m here. I’m
want to do your yard.” And then Frank will say
either, “Get out of here, boy!” or “Bring him
in!”’ So that was how I met Frank.”
The Tigers, on the other hand, never
appeared flustered despite the close game.
They calmly brought the ball up court and
methodically ran their half-court offense. In the
final quarter, however, it was all about Tauala
and Cook-Taylor. Tauala scored nine of the
Tigers’ 13 fourth-quarter points and Cook-
Taylor added the other two buckets in the peri-
od.
“Mills kept fighting, but [our] girls know
when it gets close, they go on that run,”
Summerville said.

don’t want to say this is your last

with Anderson, who supplied many
of them with steroids and whom the
government claims supplied Bonds
with performance-enhancing drugs.
Bonds, 46, has pleaded not guilty
to 10 counts of perjury and an
obstruction charge after telling a
grand jury in December 2003 that
he never knowingly took steroids.
Bonds testified that Anderson sup-
plied him with all kinds of sub-
asked if his window might be clos-
ing.
“I’m 30, I’m not dead,” Briggs
said. “I don’t see it that way. I don’t
know how many years I’ll get to
play, or all of us on the team will get
to play, but we’re going to enjoy it.
Obviously it’s not easy to get to the
Super Bowl so I think that, more
than anything else, it’s just not easy.
So it’s hard-fought. We haven’t been
there in years. It’s precious.”
Until now, Driver and Clifton
haven’t been closer than the
Packers’ January 2008 NFC cham-
pionship loss to New York Giants.
“It’s always been a dream of mine
to get to the Super Bowl,” Driver
said. “It’s right in front of me right
now, and I think everybody in this
locker room believes that it’s right
stances, but he assumed they were
all legal supplements.
Some players were expected to
testify that Anderson supplied them
with drugs and informed clients the
substances were illegal steroids.
Prosecutors hope the testimony will
persuade jurors that Bonds had to
have known that Anderson was giv-
ing him illicit performance
enhancers.
“Anderson provided them with
detailed instructions and explained
to them these were steroids,” feder-
al prosecutor Matt Parrella told the
judge.

in front of us, and we’ve believed it
since March.”
Packers coach Mike McCarthy
said he sees a unique sense of
urgency from Driver and his other
veterans.
“It’s really Donald all the way
down, particularly the players that
were here in ’07,” McCarthy said.
“You really have an understanding
now of how hard it is to get to this
game. I know my first year in the
NFL in 1993, we went to the AFC
championship game, and you kind
of think, ’Boy, this is great. This is
not that big of a deal.’ But it’s such
a hard game to get to.”
Packers defensive lineman Ryan
Pickett was a member of the St.
Louis Rams when they lost in the
Super Bowl to New England in
One of Bonds’ six attorneys,
Dennis Riordan, sought to bar the
athletes’ testimony. He argued
unsuccessfully that the government
was attempting to win the case with
“guilt by association.”
On the prosecution witness list
are Giambi and retired players
Marvin Benard, Jeremy Giambi
(Jason’s brother), Armando Rios,
Benito Santiago, Bobby Estallela,
Randy Velarde and retired football
player Larry Izzo.
The judge said she may stop the
parade of players from taking the
witness stand if their testimony
February 2002. He said younger
players have asked him and
Woodson about their experiences.
“We just tell them that it’s the
greatest experience that you could
ever have,” Pickett said. “It’s so hard
to get to where we are right now. We
want to keep them focused, but it’s
so hard to get to where we are right
now. So we have to take advantage
of the opportunity.”
Greg Jennings said he and the
other Packers receivers know how
much it means to Driver.
“Obviously the window of oppor-
tunity, it opens and closes as it will,
and you know, the window of
opportunity isn’t getting any big-
ger,” Jennings said. “Donald has
been around for a while, and I think
he’s been in this position once, I
begins to sound the same.
The players’ dealings with
Anderson date back a decade or
more, which legal experts said could
further hobble prosecutors already
set back by the exclusion of the tests
tied to Anderson.
“We all struggle with recalling
what happened a week ago,” said
Vermont Law School professor
Michael McCann, a sports law
expert. “It happened so long ago,
and these witnesses are probably
going to have a difficult time recall-
ing everything.”

chance. You’re not afforded too
many second chances in this game,
so we have to make the best of it.”
And Driver appreciates the senti-
ment from his teammates.
“They’ve addressed it all this
year, as well as the previous years
that our whole receiver group has
been together, is that they want to
get me to the Super Bowl,” Driver
said. “As bad as they want to get me
to the Super Bowl, I want to get
them to the Super Bowl. When it
comes to their career, they don’t
have to worry when they’re ever
going to get there. So, if we can get
there all together at one time, that’ll
put a nice little icing on the cake.”
appear in court sometime before the
trial starts to reiterate his refusal to
testify. Anderson will be jailed for
the length of the trial, which could
last a month. Anderson already
served a little more than a year on
contempt charged after he refused to
testify before the grand jury investi-
gating Bonds for perjury.
Anderson pleaded guilty to
steroids distribution and money
laundering in 2005 and served three
months in prison.
“He remains resolute in his posi-
tion,” said Mark Geragos,
Anderson’s lawyer.

What monster may lie in the
innermost chamber of the human
heart? What is the dark impulse
that can lead to an endless cycle of
betrayal and death? Cutting Ball
Theater’s presentation of playwright
Eugenie Chan’s companion pieces,
Bone to Pick & Diadem, based on the
Greek myth of Ariadne, Theseus and
the Minotaur, launches the audience
on a blood-dark sea of lust and slaugh-
ter to explore these timeless questions.
Paige Rogers adeptly centers her
solo performances on the minimalist
set, first as Ariadne, who grasps at love
by betraying her family and country,
and then as Ria, Ariadne redux, a wait-
ress who serves eternally in a bleak,
beyond-the-Thunderdome diner,
resigned to her lot in an emotional
desert. Together, Chan and Rogers
skillfully connect princess and wait-
ress with a thin red string of sexual
obsession and capture the Freudian
essence of Ariadne’s disturbing epic
romance.

made us wonder if it could stand on its

Uproar over ‘Skins’: A blessing

By Frazier Moore
THE ASSOCITAED PRESS
NEW YORK — You gotta love a show that
can upstage MTV’s raunchy reality hit,
“Jersey Shore.”
“Skins” has done it.
In a week of TV happenings that included
Ricky Gervais going comedically postal at
the Golden Globes, Regis Philbin announc-
ing his retirement from his daytime show,
and the return of “American Idol,” “Skins”
soared to most-talked-about status, even
reducing the reprise of attention-sucking
“Jersey Shore” to the level, for the moment,
of “Snooki who?”
Way to go, MTV! For a network that’s no
stranger to provocative fare or controversy,
here’s another buzz-blessed smash!
Most people know by now that “Skins” is
a steamy scripted drama about overwrought
teens, spun off from the acclaimed British
series of the same name. It began its 10-
episode season last Monday on the wings of
heavy promotion by MTV, generally positive
reviews and high anticipation by its young
target audience.
There was also a smattering of pre-opening
outcry, mainly as an inevitable protest from
the Parents Television Council, a TV watch-
dog group. It declared that “’Skins’ may well
be the most dangerous television show for
children that we have ever seen,” which had
to be as welcome a critical rave as MTV
could wish.
The premiere of “Skins” drew 3.3 million
viewers, 1.2 million of them under 18, the
Nielsen Co. reported. This was a robust
turnout, though hardly in the league of
“Jersey Shore,” which, a week ago, seized
8.4 million viewers for its Season 3 debut.
Experts say an unrestrained dog — whether
curled up on a lap, hanging out the window or
resting its paws on the steering wheel — can
be deadly. Tens of thousands of car accidents
are believed caused every year by unre-
strained pets, though no one has solid num-
bers.
“An unrestrained pet can be hugely distract-
ing — if he is seeking your attention, putting
his face right in front of yours, starts chewing
up the upholstery or is vomiting because he is
carsick,” said Katherine Miller, director of
applied science and research for the American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.
The issue is drawing attention in some state-
houses. Hawaii is the only state that specifi-
cally forbids drivers from operating a vehicle
with a pet on their lap.

‘No Strings’ wastes intriguing premise

By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
“No Strings Attached” begins with an
intriguing premise: A guy and a girl agree to
have sex wherever they want, whenever they
want, without all those pesky emotions getting
in the way. This is apparently what the kids
these days, with their rock ’n’ roll music and
their video games, refer to as being “friends
with benefits.”
What’s intriguing about it is that the girl in
the equation, a young doctor played by Natalie
Portman, is the one who suggests this arrange-
ment, and the guy, an aspiring TV writer
played by Ashton Kutcher, is the one who
breaks the rules and falls in love. It’s a rever-
sal of traditional gender roles, and an indica-
tion that we might be in for something fresh,
daring and different.
Except, we’re not.
This romantic comedy from Ivan Reitman
— the first film he’s directed since the less-
than-super “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” from
2006 — falls into all the usual traps. Of
course, you have to have obstacles in this kind
of movie. Something has to keep the charac-
ters apart before they can enjoy their ultimate
reconciliation.
But the fear of commitment that plagues
Portman’s character is enough of a contrivance
without all the additional troubles that get
piled on. Letting the tension evolve naturally
from the insecurities of relatable, well-devel-
oped figures would have been preferable, but
once Kutcher’s character goes all soft and
gooey, the movie does too.
For a while, though, the very modern rela-
tionship that writer Elizabeth Meriwether lays
out for us has a snappy, spirited energy and an
appealing, unexpected raunchy streak.
Portman’s Emma and Kutcher’s Adam first
hooked up as awkward adolescents at summer
camp, then ran into each other again 10 years
later at a fraternity party, and then again a few
more years later in Los Angeles as attractive
adults who are both up-and-coming in their
careers. Emma works 80 hours a week as a
doctor in residence, then comes home to wise-
cracking roommates played by Greta Gerwig,
Mindy Kaling and Guy Branum, among the
well-cast supporting players. Adam works as
an assistant on a peppy, “Glee”-type series,
having grown up around television as the son
of a legendary actor, played pompously by
Kevin Kline.

Dali museum centerpiece of Tampa Bay
By Tamara Lush
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Dali,
Chihuly and Degas?
It’s possible to see all three in one
weekend in the Tampa Bay area — and
still have time to savor the beach. The
opening of the new Salvador Dali
Museum in St. Petersburg this January is
the latest in a string of splashy arts ven-
ues on Florida’s west coast. The $33 mil-
lion Tampa Museum of Art — soon to
host a Degas show — opened in
February of 2010. And the Chihuly
Collection, a permanent gallery devoted
to the vibrant glassworks of Washington
artist Dale Chihuly, was unveiled across
the bay in St. Petersburg in July.
Add these to the 2008 renovation and
expansion of the Museum of Fine Arts in
St. Petersburg, and the area has sudden-
ly become much more than a side trip
from Orlando to see Busch Gardens or
spring training ball games. Instead, it’s
now an arts destination in its own right.
Most visitors will be drawn to the area
by the new Dali museum, a $36-million
building that features a stunning collec-
tion of Dali’s works. It replaces the old
Dali Museum, more than doubling the
exhibition space for what is considered
the world’s most comprehensive collec-
tion of the Surrealist master’s work —
even surpassing the Dali Theatre and
Museum in Figueres, Spain.
The building itself is a treasure. It’s in
downtown St. Petersburg, across the
street from a marina and overlooking
Tampa Bay. The sleek concrete building
is graced by the “Glass Enigma,” a wave
of glass paneling that undulates around
the building and shifts hue and color
with the Florida sunshine. Architect
Yann Weymouth, who had a hand in cre-
ating the glass pyramid at the Louvre in
Paris, designed the new museum.
Just stepping inside the museum is a
surreal experience. Visitors enter
through the gift shop and often return
after touring the gallery, since every item
is tied in some way to Dali’s work, from
the ant-themed T-shirts to the melting
wristwatches. Dali would have wanted it
that way; he was an intense self-promot-
er.
Tickets can be purchased at a counter
in a grand hallway. It is worth spending
a few minutes contemplating the tall,
WEEKEND JOURNAL
The museum chronicles Dali’s beginnings as a classically trained artist who painted
still lifes of bread and soft landscapes of his Spanish hometown,his evolution into
the world of Surrealism,and his later,religious-themed paintings.
helix-like concrete spiral staircase that
stretches from the ticket counter to the
third floor. (Dali was fascinated by spiral
forms and DNA, hence the staircase’s
design).
Pause to snack on some Spanish tapas
or a glass of wine at the cafe on the first
floor and gaze at the “Glass Enigma”
from the inside. It is comprised of 900
different triangles — none of which are
alike — and stretches from the floor to
the ceiling. Then walk up the spiral stair-
case to the third floor — pause again to
look out the wave of glass, this time to
savor the waves of Tampa Bay — before
entering the galleries.
While the Dali Museum is likely to be
the starring attraction of any arts-themed
trip here, the other arts venues are worth
noting. Don’t miss “Ruby Red Icicle
Chandelier” at the Chihuly Collection,
which also offers studio edition glass for
purchase. The Chihuly Collection is pre-
sented by the Morean Arts Center, which
has a separate venue a mile away. There
you’ll find art classes, exhibitions and
workshops, including a glass studio and
hot shop where you can watch artists cre-
ate glassworks.
If you’re visiting later this year, the
Tampa Museum of Art will host a Degas
exhibit with sculptures and paintings,
March 12-June 19, in addition to its col-
lection of American modernist and realist
works. At the Museum of Fine Arts, an
exhibit called “Romantics to Moderns,”
scheduled to open Jan. 22, offers water-
colors and drawings by British artists
from the late 18th to early 20th centuries.
And at the Crislip Arcade, artists rent
nooks and studio spaces and sell their
works in what was once a rundown
building. You’re likely to find a fun gift
amid the jewelry, photography, paintings
and other handmade items.
If you’re spending more than a week-
end in the area, drive an hour south to
Sarasota and check out the Ringling
Museum of Art, a 30-room mansion and
the location of an impressive Rubens col-
lection, among other works. It was all
gathered by circus founder John
Ringling.
Dali had no connection to St.
Petersburg, and the museum’s collection
of 100 of his works ended up there
almost by accident. The pieces were
acquired by A. Reynolds and Eleanor
Morse of Ohio — much to the surprise
of their staid Midwestern friends and
family — beginning with their first Dali
purchase in 1942, a painting titled
“Daddy Longlegs of the Evening-
Hope!”

Thailand bans diving at parks to save coral reefs
BANGKOK — Thailand on Thursday indefinitely banned
diving at seven marine parks popular with tourists to try to pro-
tect deteriorating coral reefs.
The ban applies to some 22 places in the parks where
“bleaching” covers 80 percent or more of the coral reefs. The
parks are on the Andaman Sea on Thailand’s west coast.
The recovery of the coral would be monitored before the ban
is lifted, said Sunan Arunnopparat, chief of the National Parks
Department.
The ban is likely to hurt Thailand’s lucrative tourist industry.
Nearly 16 million international visitors were expected last
year, and Thailand’s beaches are a major draw.
An educational campaign would be launched to help explain
the situation to tour operators, tourists and the public, Sunan
said. Authorities will also step up action against illegal fishing.
“Bleaching” occurs when coral becomes stressed and expels
the algae that live inside and give it color. The weakened coral
can be damaged by people, boat anchors and buoys, and long-
term stress can kill the coral, depriving fish of food and habi-
tat.
Sugarloaf opens newly expanded ski area
CARRABASSETT VALLEY, Maine — Sugarloaf ski resort
says the first area of its newly expanded ski terrain has been
opened to skiers and snowboarders.
Officials at the resort in Carrabassett Valley, Maine, say 60
acres of ski terrain in the new Brackett Basin area was opened
for the first time Wednesday.
The basin is part of the resort’s three-phase expansion onto
neighboring Burnt Mountain. Sugarloaf says when the expan-
sion is complete, it will be the largest ski area in the East in
terms of skiable acreage.

3-D
Continued from page 19
makes people queasy, leaves them dizzy or
gives them headaches.
Researchers have begun developing more
lifelike 3-D displays that might address the
problems, but they’re years or even decades
from being available to the masses.
That isn’t deterring the entertainment indus-
try, which is aware of the problem yet charging
ahead with plans to create more movies and
TV shows in 3-D. Jeff Katzenberg, CEO of
Dreamworks Animation SKG Inc., calls 3-D
“the greatest innovation that’s happened for
the movie theaters and for moviegoers since
color.”
Theater owners including AMC
Entertainment Inc. and TV makers such as
Panasonic Corp. are spending more than a bil-
lion dollars to upgrade theaters and TVs for 3-
D. A handful of satellite and cable channels are
already carrying 3-D programming; ESPN just
announced its 3-D network will begin broad-
casting 24 hours a day next month.
Yet there are already signs that consumers
may not be as excited about 3-D as the enter-
tainment and electronics industries are.
Last year, people were willing to pay an
additional $3 or more per ticket for block-
buster 3-D movies such as “Avatar” and “Toy
Story 3.” But that didn’t help the overall box
office take: People spent $10.6 billion on
movie tickets last year, down slightly from the
year before. People went to the theater less, but
spent more.
3-D TV sets were available in the U.S. for
the first time last year, but shipments came in
below forecasts, at just under 1.6 million for
North America, according to DisplaySearch.
Nevertheless, TV makers such as Samsung
Electronics Co. and Panasonic are doubling
down on 3-D and introduced more 3-D-capa-
ble models this month at the International
Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Those models cost more than regular ones and
require glasses, just like in theaters.
Research into how today’s 3-D screens
affect viewers is only in its early stages. There
have been no large-scale scientific studies.
A study of 115 South Koreans watching 3-D
screens close up found that 3-D caused more
eyestrain than 2-D. The research prompted the
Korean government to recommend that view-
ers take a break of up to 15 minutes after an
hour of 3-D viewing. But that study was based
on glasses with red and green lenses rather
DATEBOOK
than the ones used in theaters and with TVs.
Based on an unscientific, online survey, the
American Optometric Association estimates
that 25 percent of Americans have experienced
headaches, blurred vision, nausea or similar
problems when viewing 3-D.
TV makers do their own testing, but don’t
publish results. Samsung warns on its
Australian website that its 3-D TVs can cause
“motion sickness, perceptual after effects, dis-
orientation, eye strain, and decreased postural
stability.” The last part means viewers risk los-
ing balance and falling.
“We do not recommend watching 3-D if you
are in bad physical condition, need sleep or
have been drinking alcohol,” the site contin-
ues.
Nintendo Co. says children aged 6 or
younger shouldn’t play with its upcoming 3DS
handheld gaming system with 3-D technology,
because it might affect vision development.
3-D screens and glasses create the illusion of
depth by showing different images to each eye.
That simulates the way objects that are at dif-
ferent distances in real life appear in slightly
different places in each eye’s field of view.
That’s enough for most of us to perceive a
scene as having depth. But our eyes also look
for another depth cue in a scene: They expect
to need to focus at different distances to see
sharply.
More specifically, our eyes track an
approaching object by turning inward, toward
our noses. Bring something close enough, and
we look cross-eyed. 3-D screens also elicit this
response when they show something
approaching the viewer.
The problem is that as the eyes turn inward,
they also expect to focus closer. But a screen
isn’t moving closer, so the eyes have to curb
their hard-wired inclination and focus back
out. This mismatch between where the eyes
think the focus should be and where the screen
actually is forces them to work extra hard.
“That causes at least part of the discomfort
and fatigue that people are experiencing,” says
Martin Banks, an optometry professor at
University of California, Berkeley.
The problem is magnified if the screen
moves close to the viewer — exactly what’s
happening if 3-D viewing moves from the
movie theater to living rooms to game gadgets
like the 3DS.
There is at least anecdotal evidence of a
growing problem. David Hays, an optometrist
in University Place, Wash., says patients
came in after seeing “Avatar,” complaining of
eyestrain or the inability to see the 3-D effect.
He expects to see more as the technology
spreads.

Beck’s agitated presentations and Keith
Olbermann’s confrontational style may have
been an aspect of this saga.
To me, the reaction represented a positive
recognition of the runaway tone of the politi-
cal system and the 24/7 news cycle that
keeps it on our television screens on constant
replay. Somewhere along the line, it seems
that a political world full of sound bites and
commentators who scrutinize every little
detail of every new development slowly
began to shift away from true debates. In
some corners, dialogue began to stray more

were reading a little too much into each of
these deductions; soon, a few hosts on the
right began insinuating that he was a radical
leftist, while a handful on the left proposed
that his actions were inspired by the rhetoric
of the Tea Party. A few finger wags here, a
chastisement there and before we knew it,
Sarah Palin was making headlines accusing
political opponents of “manufacturing a
blood libel.”

toward diatribes, discussions gradually mor-
phed into shouting matches and the conversa-
tions grew more and more heated and filled
with heavy-handed metaphors. In such a cli-
mate and with such fervent speakers, it’s
hard not to be transfixed, and some react in
kind; but the casualty of taking colorful and
provocative language too far is all too often
real discussion.
Regardless of what motivated the gunman,
one message we can all take from the tragedy
in Tucson is both clear and pressing: As
important as it may be to speak out and be
frank in our opinions, it is just as necessary
to be considerate in our actions and speech,
we can’t let promises to tone down our rheto-
ric become reproaches to others for raising
the heat in the first place. It is my sincere
hope that the lesson learned from this horri-
ble tragedy will be the right one and that,
whatever his reasons, whatever his political
leanings, the senseless violence will usher in
a much-needed gut check for a world all too
interested in with-us-or-against-us argu-
ments.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Nancy Levitt
Case Number 120764
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Hon. Nancy D. Levitt,
Mayor, City of Belmont, California; Nancy
Dawn Levitt; Nancy D. Levitt; Nancy Lev-
itt. A Petition for Probate has been filed
by: Kathryn Gegenfurtner in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition of Probate requests that Ka-
thryn Gegenfurtner be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: February 1, 2011 at
9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center Drive, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

bug killer and fled the county to her native
Mexico. Fuentes was located and arrested in
2000 on attempted murder charges but her son
remained missing until his grandmother
brought the boy to the San Mateo County
women’s jail for a visit. A sharp-eyed deputy
connected the child to an age-enhanced draw-
ing commissioned by authorities searching for
him and Ortiz was reunited with the father,
Gilbert Ortiz, who survived the poisoning.
Now, more than eight years after his mother
was convicted and sentenced to 13 years to
life in prison, the younger Ortiz is accused of
assaulting his father in June and October of
last year.
Ortiz pleaded not guilty in Superior Court
Friday to two counts of assault with a deadly
weapon and inflicting great bodily injury. He
remains in custody in lieu of $200,000 bail.
Although Ortiz’s father is the alleged victim
in the case, prosecutors say he actually tried to
due to other circumstances.
The two live together with other relatives in
Redwood City and the younger Ortiz has
“numerous problems” like anger management
issues, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
He has prior convictions including drug and
knife possession and resisting arrest.
Defense attorney Gerritt Rutgers agrees his
client has issues fueled by his mother’s
absence and the abrupt switch from living
with her mother in Mexico to living with a
paternal family he didn’t know.
“He is troubled by the circumstances of
why his mother was arrested. He’s been give
no real answers and been told a lot of things
about his mother than don’t jibe with what he
knows about the woman who taught him
love,” Rutgers said.
On two occasions, Ortiz allegedly beat his
father and screamed at him “about what he
had done to his mother,” Wagstaffe said.
The first time, Ortiz put a knife to his
father’s chest and later took him to the hospi-
tal where the man told doctors he had been
robbed at knifepoint, Wagstaffe said.
staff he was beaten during a robbery. A fami-
ly member eventually contacted the detective
who investigated the milkshake poisoning in
1992 which led to Ortiz’s arrest last fall.
The defendant claims the incidents were
self-defense against his father, according to
the District Attorney’s Office.
Rutgers declined to discuss a specific
defense but characterized the older Ortiz as an
alcoholic who told authorities he wanted his
son to get counseling but is now stonewalling
efforts by the defense to get answers about
what happened.
Elizabeth Fuentes Ortiz, now 40, also
claimed self-defense in her 2002 trial on
charges of attempted murder, concealing a
child, inflicting great bodily injury and tor-
ture. Fuentes-Ortiz told the court that by poi-
soning her husband she meant only to inca-
pacitate, not kill him, to escape an abusive
marriage that included sexual abuse.
Prosecutors argued, though, that the murder
attempt was fueled by jealousy and anger over
his long work hours.
On March 11, 2002, Fuentes-Ortiz brought
insecticide. She told him it was a protein
shake intended to help him build muscle mass.
Gilbert Ortiz testified that the drink tasted
“like chocolate but sour and burning.”
Ortiz fell to the ground in convulsions,
slipped into a 10-day coma and suffered mul-
tiple organ failures and a heart attack. While
her husband was comatose, Fuentes-Ortiz
gave Redwood City police conflicting stories
of from where the poison originated — once
she said a masked man tried to kill her hus-
band; another time she claimed it was a sui-
cide attempt. By the time Ortiz could tell
authorities who had given him the question-
able shake, Fuentes-Ortiz was gone. She was
profiled numerous times on the television
show “Unsolved Mysteries” over the eight
years it took FBI agents to arrest her in the
Mexican state of Jalisco.
She was denied parole for the first time in
January 2010. She is next eligible in 2015.

popular dish at Santa Ramen, involves sim-
mering pork bones for two and a half days
before adding noodles and toppings, including
more pork.
“We make our broth using pork bones,” said
ent toppings with it.”
The toppings vary from pork, bean sprouts
and green onion, to bamboo and seaweed.
Sunny Su, a regular customer, sampled a
variety of dishes before settling on her
favorite, miso.
“I like the miso the best,” she said. “I come
quite often. The texture of the noodles is very
good, also.”
Originally located on B Street, Santa
location in the shopping center at the corner of
20th Avenue and El Camino Real to accom-
modate the increasingly large number of
devout customers.
In April, Kobayashi opened a new noodle
house, Ramen Dojo, in the old location.
Devoted to spicy, or sutamina, ramen, the
restaurant displays the menu on a blackboard
hung on the wall. Customers choose between
extra spicy, regular spicy or mild spicy varia-
ramen. As at Santa Ramen, the pork flavor is
by far the most popular.
“We can make it mild for young children,”
said a waitress who didn’t want to give her
name, “but most people like it spicy.”
If the equally long lines at Ramen Dojo are
any indication, the spicy ramen shop is des-
tined to become a local favorite like its older
sibling, Santa Ramen.
