Retrial in murder of former Raiders daughter begins

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Jurors in the retrial of the man previously convicted of twice strangling a former Oakland Raiders daughter at a San Mateo rehabilitation program more than a decade ago were told yesterday to prepare for a dark journey in which they

will learn how his temper and her nature to help others fatally collided after she ended the relationship. Mohammad Haroon Ali, 36, Tracy Mohammad Ali killed

Biletnikoff just shy of her 20th birthday after he told her of a drug and alcohol relapse because she wouldnt give him her car keys and he worried about problems of his own creation mainly testing dirty the next day, risking deportation and starting from scratch in the Project 90 rehab program, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, who is

prosecuting the case. Ali murdered Biletnikoff viciously, no excuse, no explanation other than she got in the way, Wagstaffe said during opening statements before a packed courtroom including family of both the defendant and victim. But defense attorney Peter Goldscheider gave jurors another

portrait of Ali in asking them to nd his client guilty of manslaughter rather than premeditated murder. Ali was motivated by two things that werent known during his rst trial, namely the rejection of another woman who had aborted his child and a bipolar disorder that went

The San Carlos Planning Commission postponed deciding whether to allow the owner of downtown bar The Carlos Club to convert its parking lot into an outdoor patio with food service and live entertainment, saying it rst needs more information on noise, walkways and the entry and exit. The commission asked staff to return to the March 5 meeting armed with more details about a potential acoustic study and what impacts noise and a greater patron capacity of up to 178 people

might have on other issues like public safety. The move to table the vote came after several hours of disparate descriptions of noise by residents and debate amongst the commissioners themselves on what data they needed to take action. I want more information, Commission Vice Chair Scott Marsters said, particularly in reference to law enforcement concerns about public safety. When pressed by a fellow commissioner about what exactly he wanted, Marsters said I dont know. Some commissioners like Angela Harper-Pederson and Steve San Filippo

said they came to the meeting the third scheduled public hearing on the conditional use permit request ready to vote but were surprised to hear some residents say they hear noise from the bar blocks and blocks away. Anecdotal stories were shared about children and even an airline captain being unable to sleep due to music or loud voices. The club could stop the music at a specic hour but resident Craig Norris said the noise will continue. Thats not going to stop the people from being very loud and very obnox-

San Bruno kindergartners learn about bowling

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Police reports
Someone poured acid onto a vehicle parked on Harrison Avenue in Redwood City before 10:44 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 18.

Henry sat with crossed legs atop a small scooter as volunteer Alex Pratt began to push the little kindergartner toward bowling pins set up about 10 feet away. After Pratts push, Henry spun into the pins with a smile. How many pins did you knock down? Pratt asked his little buddy. Henry began picking up the pins one at a time and counting, One, two ... three, four, ve he continued until reaching nine. Thats nice! Great job my mom, Pratt said before the two shared a high-ve. While most of the preschool and kindergarten students at Rollingwood Elementary School in San Bruno enjoyed the chance to be the bowling ball, this wasnt a morning dedicated to trying a new sport. Traditionally, the Special Olympics Schools Partnership Program hosts bigger, full-day events with multiple schools. Since not all schools and students can participate in those days, Pam Merchant, Special Olympics Schools coordinator for the San Mateo County Ofce of Education, decided to start offering smaller sports events at various school sites. San Brunos school got the chance to host the rst, which was all about bowling. Four stations were set up for the young athletes. Children had a chance to bowl traditionally, toss balls at pins, be the ball in scooter bowling and learn about the basics needed for the sport. In addition, Jeff Torres, adaptive physical education teacher for the San Bruno Park Elementary School District, brought his Wii in so children could try virtual bowling. As each group got started, Torres shared the three simple rules: No running, stay in your group and have fun. The third rule went without saying. Children took to the challenge of knocking down the pins

eagerly. Even knocking down a single pin resulted in cheers from the adult volunteers. Even when one little girl tossed a ball that stopped just as it tapped the number 1 pin, falling short of the force needed to knock it down, she received praise and a chance to throw the ball a bit harder. Near the ball toss area, rst grade students Ashley and Angie enthusiastically picked up the plush balls and tried to knock down pins set up in a random fashion. Having just watched the boys, the girls celebrated as they also successfully knocked down the pins. Torres was happy the students had a chance to experience the sports, since often the schools that he works with are not always able to take part in the full sports days held at another location. He noted the students werent just learning about sports. They were enjoying peer interaction, learning to wait their turn, working together and the basics about the sport, he said. The cool down station gave students the chance to learn the basics about bowling. Volunteer Paige Rossetti started with a simple question: What do we need to bowl? Without fail, the rst response was always the same a ball. From there, children had a chance to learn about the ball, the holes in it that allow them to easily throw it, the required shoes and even a bit about the bowling pins.

On Tuesday, the San Bruno City Council approved contracts to start infrastructure renovations in the Crestmoor neighborhood damaged during the Sept. 9, 2010 gas line explosion and re. Repairing damaged infrastructure is required to allow the opportunity for those who want to rebuild a process many started last year. Among the contracts approved are a $517,457 contract with Casey Construction to complete the rst phase of the water system improvement project along with a $645,000 construction budget. Secondly, the council will consider amending a contract with BKF Engineers. The change would increase the contract by $406,100 allowing for the design services to address a larger area than previously requested, according to a staff report by Public Service Director Klara Fabry and Crestmoor Reconstruction Project Manager Harry Burrowes. Residents will have a couple opportunities to discuss reconstruction. A community meeting will be held 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26 at the Church of the Highlands, 1900 Monterey Drive to talk about the extent of proposed improvements, schedule of work and possible street and landscape enhancements. For a more informal setting, a Crestmoor Neighborhood Gathering will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28 at the San Bruno Senior Center. Coffee and dessert will be served and city staff will be on hand to discuss reconstruction efforts. The Belmont City Council is leaning toward seeking a developer team for the construction of new homes on city-owned property in the San Juan Hills. At its Tuesday night meeting, however, the council agreed more preliminary work related to lot conguration on the 35-acre property needed to be done before seeking development proposals.

Coastside burglars arrested
Two people are in custody for residential burglary, possession of stolen property and auto theft after leading sheriffs deputies on a foot chase through a eld in Half Moon Bay Tuesday afternoon, according to police. Deputies responded to the report of a residential burglary on the 400 block of El Granada Boulevard and found the home ransacked with jewelry and two rearms taken. It appeared the burglars had entered through a window to the rear of the house, according to police. Witnesses reported seeing a gold Toyota Prius in front of the house in the morning.

Oakland police could face federal takeover
SAN FRANCISCO Mayor Jean Quan vowed Wednesday to quickly reform the scandalp l a g u e d Oakland Police Department after a frustrated judge threatened a federal takeover if it fails to quickly Jean Quan make good on changes agreed to nine years ago. U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson said he remains in disbelief that the department has failed to adopt the reforms. Hendersons frustration with the pace of improvements was evident throughout a scathing ve-page ruling issued Tuesday.

With a urry of coast-to-coast developments this week, same-sex marriage is back in the political spotlight and likely to remain there through Election Day as a halfdozen states face potentially wrenching votes on the issue. In Maryland, New Jersey and Washington, bills to legalize samesex marriage have high-powered support and good chances of passage in the legislature. Gay-marriage opponents in Maryland and Washington would likely react by seeking referendums in November to overturn those laws, while New Jerseys Republican governor, Chris Christie, says hell veto the bill if it reaches him and prefers that lawmakers OK a referendum so voters

In all three states, polls suggest voters are closely divided on whether gays should have the right to marry, so theres a chance one could emerge as the rst state to support same-sex marriage in a statewide vote. Maine voters also may have an opportunity to vote for same-sex marriage in November; an announcement by gay-rights activists about a ballot-measure campaign is set for Thursday. Proposed amendments for constitu-

Survivor testifies in S.F. traffic killings trial

SAN FRANCISCO The lone survivor of a 2008 trafc shooting that killed his father and two brothers tearfully testified Wednesday that the alleged gang member on trial for the triple murders committed the crimes alone. Andrew Bologna broke down several times on the witness stand while recalling the deadly encounter involving defendant Edwin Ramos, who prosecutors claim mistook someone in Bolognas family as a rival of his MS-13 gang. The Bolognas were on their way home from a picnic when Ramos rst blocked their Honda Civic at an intersection in the citys Excelsior District on June 22, 2008, Andrew Bologna, now 21, testied.

WASHINGTON Schoolchildrens favorite lunch the ubiquitous frozen pizza is about to get healthier. First lady Michelle Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack are expected to announce Wednesday that most school meals, including pizza, will have less sodium, more whole grains and more fruits and vegetables as sides. The popular pizzas will still be on school lunch lines but made with healthier ingredients.

Mrs. Obama and Vilsack were making the announcement at an elementary school in Alexandria, Va., with celebrity chef Rachael Ray. The new rules, the rst major nutritional overhaul of school meals in 15 years, wont be as aggressive as the Obama administration had hoped. Congress last year blocked the Agriculture Department from making some of the changes the department had sought, including limiting french fries and pizzas. A bill passed in November would require USDA to allow tomato paste on pizzas to be counted as a vegetable, as it is now.

The defense attorney for San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi is no longer representing him in his domestic violence case. Attorney Bob Waggener said via text message Wednesday afternoon that he is no longer Mirkarimis attorney and that Berkeley-based defense attorney Lidia Stiglich will be taking over. Waggener did not give a reason for the move and Stiglich was not immediately available for comment. Mirkarimi faces misdemeanor charges of domestic violence battery, child endangerment and dissuading a witness in connection with a New Years Eve incident involving his wife,

Eliana Lopez, during which their 2-year-old son Theo was present. He is set to appear in court on Thursday afternoon to seek the removal of a Ross Mirkarimi stay-away order preventing him from contacting his wife or son. A proposed witness list led by prosecutors in the case includes Christina Marie Flores, Mirkarimis ex-girlfriend who led a police report last weekend and has given media interviews saying she dated him between 2007 and 2008.

Longtime Millbrae volunteer and chamber supporter Marjorie Egan Wilson died peacefully Jan. 23, 2012. She was 88. Wilson moved to Millbrae in 1962 and became embedded in the community. Her long list of activities included working with the Millbrae Newcomers, volunteering for the Millbrae Historical Society and working as a 43-year member of the Millbrae Chamber of Commerce. Wilsons work didnt go unnoticed; she was recognized with service awards as well as by state elected ofcials. Marge was the longest tenured member of the Millbrae Chamber of Commerce, said Chamber CEO John Ford. She had been a member since 1969. She was involved with every Millbrae Art & Wine Festival from its beginning in 1971 through the 40th one in 2010. She attended last years festival much to the delight of the many festival volunteers who have worked with her over the years. She was one of the original chamber ambassadors and would always wear her ambassador badge when she was downtown. She loved the Monster March parade and is a big reason why it has continued to this day. Wilson was born Halloween day 1923 in Central, Ind. as the sixth of seven children to Alva and Zina G. Egan. Described by her family as a strong and strong-willed redheaded, green-eyed Scorpio Irish woman, Wilson was working as an usherette at the Orpheum Theatre in Pocatello, Ind., when Pearl Harbor was bombed. She married George, her husband of 70 years, in 1942, and followed him across the country working a variety of jobs including at a naval ordinance plant, as a recorder for Robertson Aircraft, as a model and clothing designer at a department store, on the line in a peanut factory, as a nurses aide and as an ofce manager. In California, Wilson discovered the Asian style and from 1962 until now surrounded herself with Chinese and Japanese inuence. Her closet is lled with cheongsam dresses she made from gorgeous fabrics. She also loved tradition, and her youthful spirit was expressed in her celebration of

signicant dates large and small. Wilson was a person of many talents and interests. Described as a joiner, she became very active in Millbrae after moving to Marjorie Wilson the Peninsula city in 1962. She received numerous awards and certicates of appreciation for her community service, being recognized by the state Assembly and Senate, as well as by the Chamber of Commerce for her service as rst recording secretary of the Womens Division of the Chamber, services as entry chair and volunteer work in association with the Miss Millbrae Pageant, as Millbrae Business Woman of the Year in 1976, and Chamber Service Award as an ambassador, to list a few. Wilson was also a member of the founding committee of the annual Millbrae Art and Wine Festival, and is responsible for setting the date as Labor Day Weekend. Each year, she looked forward to being a block captain at the festival. Until 2011, Wilson exercised daily and made her rounds to visit friends at Trader Joes, Walgreens, Safeway, Millbrae Jewelers, the chamber ofce and the recreation center. Wilson is survived by her husband George; children: Trisha Sparks, Sandy Boyer (Gene) and Wendy Ritter; grandchildren: Heather Laughlin (Max), Tasha Sparks, Joel Boyer (Christie), Brian, Theresa and Gina Boyer, Kyra Galloway, Erich Brochmoeller, Marcus Ritter; greatgrandchildren: Erich Brochmoeller Jr., Michael Moran, Jason Laughlin and Brigitte Boyer; and her sisters: Eleda Dressen, Norma Morris and Lenno (Rick) Wells. Family and friends may visit from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 27 and are invited to the memorial service 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 28 at the Chapel of the Highlands, 194 Millwood Drive in Millbrae. A reception will follow the service. In lieu of owers, the family suggests donations in Wilsons memory be made to the Millbrae Historical Society or the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA.

Gingrich calls Romneys plan a fantasy

By Brian Bakst and Kasie Hunt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Around the nation

Pelosi hints, then denies she has Gingrich secrets
WASHINGTON Does House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi know some dark secrets about GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich? Twice, she offered tantalizing hints that she does. And then said she doesnt. Gingrich said Wednesday that the House Democratic leader should come out with it or shut Nancy Pelosi up. The latest back-and-forth in the contest of two former House speakers came in a CNN interview Tuesday night, when host John King suggested to Pelosi that she could come back here next January or next February with a President Gingrich? Let me just say this. That will never happen, Pelosi said.

DORAL, Fla. Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on Wednesday ridiculed rival Mitt Romneys call for selfdeportation of illegal immigrants as an Obama-level fantasy that would be inhumane to long-established families living in America. Romney, for his part, accused Gingrich of pandering to a Hispanic audience and said Gingrich himself had supported selfdeportation in the past. Discussing immigration in state where 13 percent of registered voters are Hispanic, the former House speaker criticized Romneys immigration policy during a forum with the Spanish-language television network Univision, saying the idea of self-deportation would never work. Romney snapped back at him later in the day at the same forum. During a debate earlier this week, Romney said he favors self-deportation over policies that would require the federal government to round up millions of illegal immigrants and send them back to their home countries. Advocates of Romneys approach argue that illegal immigration can be curbed by denying public benets to them, prompting them to leave the United States on their own. You have to live in a world of Swiss bank accounts and Cayman Island accounts and automatically $20 million income for no work to have some fantasy this far from reality, Gingrich said, alluding to details in Romneys income tax returns made public Tuesday. For Romney to believe that somebodys grandmother is going to be so cut off that she is

Mayor blasted for tacoquip about Latinos

NEW HAVEN, Conn. The mayor of a working-class city roiled by allegations of police discrimination against Hispanics faced scathing criticism Wednesday from ofcials including the governor for saying he might have tacos as a way to do something for the community. The comments by East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo brought unwanted attention to the leadership of the New Haven suburb, where four police ofcers were arrested Tuesday by the FBI on charges including deprivation of rights and obstruction of justice. The mayor was also criticized for his recent reappointment of police Chief Leonard Gallo, who was apparently referred to in the indictment as a co-conspirator.

Newt Gingrich speaks during a campaign event in Coral Springs,Fla.

going to self-deport, I mean this is an Obamalevel fantasy. But Gingrichs campaign has spoken of the self-deportation policy he ridiculed Wednesday. I recognize that its very tempting to come out to an audience like this and pander to the audience, Romney said, pointing out that Gingrich has previously made comments supporting the idea of self-deportation. I think that was a mistake on his part. In debates, Gingrich has defended a proposal to allow some illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. if theyve lived here for more than 25 years and have a local sponsor. Romneys campaign directed reporters to past comments by Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond, who said that only a small percent of illegal immigrants would likely be allowed to stay in the U.S. under Gingrichs plan. Hammond went on to say that the vast majority of them would likely self-deport.

Labor board chief to press for new union rules

By Sam Hananel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The chairman of the National Labor Relations Board hopes to have another round of regulations in place by the end of the year that would make it easier for unions to establish and win representation elections in workplaces. Undeterred by Republican protests, Mark Pearce said he will urge the board to approve the new rules now that it has a full component of ve members after President Barack Obama bypassed the Senate to ll three vacancies. We keep our eye on the prize, Pearce said in an interview with the Associated Press. Our

goal is to create a set of rules that eliminate a lot of waste of time, energy and money for the taxpayers. One change Pearce wants is requiring businesses to hand over lists of employee phone numbers and emails to union leaders before an election. He also wants the board to consider other rule changes it didnt have time to approve before it lost a quorum last year. They include the use of electronic lings and quicker timetables for certain procedures. My personal hope is that we take on all of these things and consider each one of these rules, Pearce said. We presume the constitutionality of the presidents appointments and

we go forward based on that understanding. GOP leaders have challenged the recess appointments as unconstitutional, saying the Senate was not technically in recess when Obama acted. Republicans had threatened to block conrmation votes on any nominees to ll the three NLRB vacancies, saying the board was making too many union-friendly decisions. If the board decides to propose the new rules, they would expand on sweeping regulations approved in December that speed up the process for holding union elections at work sites after unions collect enough signatures from employees. Those rules are slated to take effect on April 30. While the rst round of rules won praise from union leaders, business groups claim they allow ambush elections that wont give employers enough time to talk to employees about whether to choose a union.

Army to cut combat brigades

WASHINGTON The U.S. Army plans to slash the number of combat brigades from 45 to as low as 32 in a broad restructuring of its ghting force aimed at cutting costs and reducing the service by about 80,000 soldiers, according to U.S. ofcials familiar with the plans. Ofcials said the sweeping changes will likely increase the size of each combat brigade generally by adding another battalion in a long-term effort to ensure that those remaining brigades have the ghting capabilities they need when they go to war. A brigade is usually about 3,500 soldiers, but can be as large as 5,000 for the heavily armored units. A battalion is usually between 600-800 soldiers.

Fallout lingers from unruly Rap Scene Awards Show
An out-of-control rap awards show at the San Mateo County Event Center in December 2006 that required 71 police ofcers and doubled the safety budget was becoming a trend, according to a police staff report on the incident released the week of Jan. 27, 2007. The total cost for the Dec. 2, 2006 response from San Mateo and area agencies was estimated at $11,750 more than the $5,000 originally budgeted, stated the report. The breakdown of the Bay Area Rap Scene Awards Show also threatened the safety of attendees, staff, security and ofcers at the event, according to the report. The rst annual awards show fell apart when uninvited guests jumped on stage and ghts broke out little more than halfway through the schedule. ver heard of Dignity Health? Probably not, but you might be seeing the name around since Catholic Healthcare West announced Monday that it has restructured its governance and changed its name to Dignity Health. These changes will have no impact on the operations, policies or mission of Redwood City-based Sequoia Hospital, according to a press release. *** Redwood City-based DPR Construction was recently ranked 13 on Fortunes 100 Best Companies to Work For list. The company debuted in the top 50 last year at 22 and was ranked 57 in 2010. DPR is home to some of the smartest, most talented and fun people in the industry, said Doug Woods, co-founder and president of DPR Construction. By building and nurturing a culture of trust that encourages empowerment and innovation, we continue to provide people with the freedom, flexibility and opportunity to do great things for our employees and customers. *** The new Kaiser Permanente Medical Center under construction in Redwood City has hit another milestone. After less than 55 days, the frame of the 280,000-squarefoot, seven-story facility is up and the hospital is marking it by asking employees and invited guests to, well, mark it literally. They will sign a ceremonial structure Friday afternon before the steel is lifted to the top of the building at Veterans Boulevard and Walnut Street. *** While praising Citizen of the Year Randy Royce, a former councilman, during the San Carlos Chamber of Commerce awards, former mayor Tom Davids said Randys neigh-

Ecstasy dealer gets nine years in prison

A 20-year-old South San Francisco man accused of using his 17-year-old girlfriend to sell Ecstasy to teens at South San Francisco High School was sentenced the week of Jan. 27, 2007 to nine years in prison, just one year shy of the decade maximum allowed by the plea bargain he accepted the previous fall. Ezekiel Michael Soto faced between three and 10 years in prison for distributing and selling Ecstasy to a minor on school grounds and employing a minor for the unlawful action. The week of Jan. 27, 2007, Judge Craig Parsons opted for the higher end of the range, despite a defense push for the three-year minimum based on his lack of criminal record and Sotos assertion it was actually his juvenile girlfriend who solicited the drugs from him.

The installation of 2,700 photovoltaic panels on the roofs of the Shoreway Environmental Center in San Carlos is done, making it one of the largest solar installations in the Bay Area.RethinkWaste,the countys waste JPA,estimates the panels will save roughly $2.1 million in energy costs over the next two decades, provide approximately 45 percent of Shoreways energy needs and cut carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 1.6 million pounds year. Thats the equivalent of removing 252 cars annually from the road.
borhood is a special place because he is known to set up computers or powerwash houses for neighbors. The label led to current Mayor Andy Klein to quip that Realtors will soon suggest high home prices for houses situated in Randys neighborhood. *** Say Om. SFO is opening its first ever Yoga Room in Terminal 2 today to create a place for travelers to relax and enjoy a Zen-like experience. Nice, but a true Zen-like experience would be if they could figure out how to speed along the TSA lines. *** The Millbrae Chamber of Commerce will soon have a new leader as CEO John Ford will be leaving at the beginning of February, after serving for nine years, to be the executive director of the Peninsula Congestion Traffic Relief Alliance. *** Think construction disrupts school? Probably. But teachers at College Park Elementary School in San Mateo are taking advantage of the situation. Principal Diana Hallock noted older students were challenged to figure out how much dirt was being excavated and used for foundation. Those calculations took into consideration the changes when the dirt is packed in.

OPINION
last four years, I say we cannot afford a new jail. The $150 million to $200 million in potential lease nance (not voter approved bonds) is troubling, but the ongoing additional $30 million per year for operations is the budget buster. Our current and prior sheriff have done a good job stretching our overcrowded jail but we need to look to more nancially feasible alternatives to building more jail beds. Shared service seems like one better nancial alternative. We are sharing services now with local re and police jurisdictions which saves everybody money and works well. Since the Board of Supervisors vote giving the goahead to the new jail, weve discovered that San Francisco has a 372 bed jail in San Bruno for which they have no plans. They also have an additional 200 beds that they could make available to us on a shorter term. Other surrounding jurisdictions also have surplus beds

High-speed jail

even after the ongoing transfer (realignment) from the state. Shouldnt we hit the pause button on a new jail and explore the possibility of shared services while we also explore less expensive and more effective alternatives to revolving-door incarceration? San Mateo County has a reputation of social and technology leadership. Public safety is, and must remain, our main job in government. So lets show our social and nancial leadership by slowing down the new jail process while we search for better alternatives.
Tom Huening is the San Mateo County controller.

es there is a parallel between building a new San Mateo County Jail and California high-speed rail. Both are expensive capital improvements for arguably antiquated technology. I rode comparable highspeed rail more than 40 years ago in Japan. And jails arent obsolete but many California jurisdictions are reducing their reliance on jails as a means of public safety. They are recognizing that although dangerous people do need to be locked up, many now in our jails are better and more economically served with treatment for their mental illness and addictions. Most jail occupants in our county jail reenter our local society after a short time and then 70 percent are brought back to jail. Doesnt it make more nancial and publicsafety sense to avoid building a new revolvingdoor jail and spend the money on treatment that could keep down the jail population? My job as controller is about county nance and, based upon our living off reserves for the

But as everyone in Egypt is well aware, the break is not as clearcut as happened in Tunisia. Signicantly, though, in the elections that have taken place so far, the Egyptians have voted in the same way as the Tunisians. They too have opted for Islamist parties. ... Likewise in Moroccos elections in November, following constitutional reforms there, the local version of the Muslim Brotherhood also leads the eld.

momentous 12 months have seen profound changes throughout so much of the rest of the Arab world, but with thousands of protesters dead and bloody confrontations continuing, most notably in Syria, this so-called Spring has sometimes seemed more like a long and harsh winter. This is not, however, to dismiss the achievements of populations that have demanded and won a real say in their futures. Tunisia held its rst democratic election in October and chose the moderate Islamist Ennahda party as the largest single group in its constituent assembly. Inspired by Tunisia, the people of Egypt were next to challenge their seemingly entrenched leadership. Hosni Mubarak endured three days of demonstrations, then

Elsewhere, however, largely peaceful protests in Oman and Jordan and, as noted, Morocco have led to rapid political reforms. These have boosted the power of parliaments to give voters a greater say in the running of their countries. With the exception of Bahrain, where bitter inter-communal protest has been fomented by Iran, which has also sought to stir up trouble in our own Eastern Province, the member countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council have all seen the benets of assured stability and economic prosperity.

Increase in Redwood City garbage rates

By Alicia Aguirre

wanted to share with you some of my thoughts on the City Councils decisionmaking process regarding the increase in garbage/recycling rates. As you may know, after a thoughtful discussion at our Jan. 9 meeting, the City Council unanimously approved a rate increase of 7.2 percent. This increase is less than the 7.81 percent increase that was originally proposed. The lower increase resulted from the council deciding not to implement a proposed new curbside household hazardous waste collection service (which would have added 0.61 percent to the increase). For the majority of Redwood City households, which have the 32-gallon cart, this amounts to an additional $1.78 per month/per cart (for those with 20-gallon carts the increase

is 75 cents per month/per cart). Corresponding increases are reected in the rates for larger bins and for commercial customers. More detailed information is available online at www.redwoodcity. org/garbagerates. Its important to remind you that all revenue from this rate increase is used only to provide garbage service to the community. This was a difcult decision, especially in light of the 85 ofcial protest letters we received, and knowing that this increase is of some level of concern to everyone in the community. During the councils discussion on the rate increase, we directed staff to update rate projections for future years and also asked that an analysis be done of the current rate methodology. We want to make sure that the most

equitable and fair approach is in place, to ensure predictability and certainty in future rates for the community. Thank you for your understanding, and please be assured that I and my colleagues on the council appreciate your concerns with rate increases and their impact on households during these difcult economic times. I encourage you to become involved in issues like this which are of concern to you your involvement in important city matters is of great value to the entire community.

Kodak is understandable. The digital age and competition from rms like Fuji crumpled that companys prots like an unwanted Polaroid. But Twinkies? Really? In this ne land of equal opportunity obesity, commuter eating and late-night student cram sessions, the hallowed Twinkie ought to reign supreme. Twinkie and Red Bull? Meal of on-the-go and thrifty champions. Or it should be. Like Kodak, Hostess Products says it is declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy but not ready to pound a nal nail in the cofn. The wakes planned for Twinkie are a bit exaggerated and premature and the company says it is simply reorganizing, shedding some debt and reconsidering what products really sell. Maybe, but the real culprits behind this move undoubtedly are the health-conscious gastronomic police whove put everybody in a nutritional nanny state, keeping sodas from the vending machines, abolishing trans fat and making us think everything at some time will give us cancer or cure heart disease. In any case, the possible demise of Twinkie shouldnt really consume so much of my thoughts. I havent had a Twinkie in years and the last time I vaguely recall shoving one of those delights in my mouth it more resembled a stale sponge lled with saccharin shortening rather than a moist cake hiding a tasty, creamy lling. Freezing is the answer, a former boss once told me. She loved Twinkies like nothing else. Kept a box in the freezer and told me that is the best way to savor them. Admittedly, the Twinkies were better right out of the deep freeze (I had to try it). Not as good as a frozen Milky Way, mind you, but certainly more palatable than room temperature off the shelf. Yet, unless the Occupiers take up the cry or the federal government decides Hostess is also too big to fail and plies it with tax dollars, Twinkie could soon be no more. While this may be good news for the prosecution of political assassins, the announcement is not so nice for the rest of the world. This is worse than the threatened shortage of Eggo wafes two years ago. We can do without Wonder Bread and several other Hostess products but Twinkies are the right x when hungering for a bit of childhood nostalgia. Remember scanning the aisles, getting to decide between Twinkies and the other possible junk food options the Ding Dongs, the Ho Hos, the cupcakes, those terrible neon puffs of something covered in aky coconut. Whats next on the chopping block Mac n cheese out of a box? Slim Jims? Hubba Bubba? Hershey bars? Not to fret, though. There may be a solution through competitive eating. Recently, hot dog eating phenom and sore loser Takeru Kobayashi set a new Guinness worlds record in Twinkie eating. There actually was no previous record. Guinness told Kobayashi he need only down four to qualify. He actually wolfed down 14. Overachiever. Obviously, American eating hero and Bay Area boy Joey Chestnut cant let this stand. Its only a matter of time until he tackles Twinkies which could lead to wider interest, a sponsorship, an annual event and Kobayashi stomping off to create his own eating league again. The possibilities are innite, unlike Twinkies possible fate. Until then, though, grab a Twinkie, frozen or not, and cross your ngers for a junk food miracle. Yogurt and apple slices might be better for the waistline but when it comes to a sugar rush of gratication that are as empty as a Twinkie calorie.

Bond yields fall when their prices rise. The Feds extension of low rates signaled that it expects ination to stay low. Low ination makes Treasurys more attractive by helping to maintain the value of bond owners xed returns. Rising prices would eat into those returns.

Textron Inc.,up $3.15 at $24.76 The diversied manufacturer posted a $19 million fourth-quarter loss, but its results still beat Wall Streets expectations.

The stock market bounced to its highest close since last spring Wednesday after the Federal Reserve said it expected to keep interest rates near zero for almost three more years. Bond yields dropped sharply, then climbed back later in the day when investors began looking more closely into the Feds deliberations. The yield on the ve-year Treasury note touched an all-time low. The big moves in both markets came at 12:30 p.m. EST, when the Feds monetary policy committee said it was unlikely to raise interest rates before late 2014. It had previously said it expected to keep rates low into the middle of 2013. Unless there is a substantial strengthening of the economy in the near term, its a pretty good guess we will be keeping rates low for some time, Chairman Ben Bernanke told reporters. The Fed cut rates to near zero in December 2008, during the nancial crisis, and has held them there ever since. The announcement was a sign that the Fed expects the economy, which is improving, to need signicant help for three more years. The Dow Jones industrial average was

Netflix customers return in 4Q; stock soars 15 percent
SAN FRANCISCO Netix has regained almost as many customers as it lost following an unpopular price increase, signaling that the video subscription service is healing from its self-inected wounds. Fourth-quarter gures released Wednesday show Netix Inc. ended December with 24.4 million subscribers in the U.S., up from 23.8 million at the end of September. That gain of about 600,000 customers compares with the loss of 800,000 subscribers last summer after it raised its U.S. prices as much as 60 percent. The uptick is a positive sign for Netix after several months of upheaval battered its stock. The fallout from the earlier customer defections contributed to a 14 percent decrease in Netixs fourth-quarter earnings. Netix made $40.7 million, or 73 cents per share, in the nal three months of last year. That compares with income of $47.1 million, or 87 cents per share, a year earlier. Investors had been bracing for a bigger drop-off. The companys performance easily exceeded the average earnings estimate of 54 cents per share among analysts surveyed by FactSet.

WASHINGTON Whats next cameras in the Federal Reserves meetings? Dont count on it. But its anyones guess how far the Fed will go in its mission to be more publicly open beyond having the chairman hold now-quarterly news conferences and its latest gesture: forecasting where its members think interest rates are headed. Under Ben Bernanke, the Fed has also sent more frequent clues about the economys health. Bernanke has sat for TV interviews, too. Hes held town-hallstyle meetings. Its all amounted to a radical makeover for an agency that used to rank about as high as the CIA in its mystery. For decades, everyone pretty much agreed: The Fed had to shroud itself in

secrecy to properly perform its mission control prices and maximize employment. The Fed chairmanship was seen as the second-most-powerful post in government after the presidency. Telegraphing decisions or opening them to public view? Not part of the job description. You didnt tell people anything, said David Wyss, an economist who worked at the Fed when Arthur Burns was chairman in the 1970s. So obscure were the Feds operations that a late-1980s book called Secrets of the Temple tantalized readers with the prospect of prying its door open a bit. The chairman then, Paul Volcker, wasnt operating any differently from his predecessors since the Feds creation in 1913. Things began to change under his successor, Alan Greenspan, who served for 18 years until 2006. Gradually, sometimes grudgingly, the Fed emerged from hiding.

The first big shift came in 1994. Greenspans policy-setting panel issued the rst-ever announcement of a change in its benchmark interest rate, called the federal funds rate. Until then, the Fed had said nothing when it changed the funds rate. Thats the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans. Its also a benchmark rate for consumer and business loans. When the Fed cuts that rate, it tries to spur borrowing and spending. When it raises it, it aims to slow growth and stem ination. Wall Street rms had to assign people to scrutinize the Feds daily bond-market operations for any move in the funds rate. These Fed-watchers would make guesses based on announcements by the New York Federal Reserve Bank of how much in Treasury securities it bought or sold in a given day. (The New York Fed handles the Federal Reserves Treasury operations.)

Obama touches on student loan interest rates

By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK President Barack Obamas State of the Union speech Tuesday night may be causing anxiety for families with college-bound students. In addressing the rapidly rising cost of higher education, Obama noted that the xed interest rates on student loans are set to double in July if Congress fails to act. Heres whats behind the change referenced by Obama:

Apple briefly passes Exxon as most valuable co.

NEW YORK Apple briey surpassed Exxon as the most valuable U.S. company after an excellent quarter, though the oil company has regained the lead at the markets close. Apples stock rose as much as 8 percent, while Exxons fell as much as 2 percent during trading Wednesday. Exxon Mobil Corp.s stock closed up 4 cents at $87.22 for a market capitalization of $418 billion. Apples increased 6 percent to $446.66 for a market cap of about $415 billion. Apple said Tuesday that net income in its latest quarter more than doubled, while revenue grew 73 percent. Cupertino-based Apple rst topped Exxon in August, then fell back to second place. Irving, Texas-based Exxon had held the top spot since 2005.

THE BASICS
There are primarily two types of federal student loans: subsidized and unsubsidized. The difference is that the

government doesnt start charging interest on subsidized loan until the student graduates. With unsubsidized loans, by contrast, interest starts accruing right away. That can tack a considerable amount on to the initial loan amount by the time the student graduates and starts paying off the debt. Borrowers also pay a different interest rate when they graduate. Unsubsidized loans currently charge a xed interest rate of 6.8 percent. Over the past few years, the interest rate on subsidized loans was gradually lowered to its current level of a xed 3.4 percent. The reduction was the result of legislation passed before the nancial crisis that was intended to reduce the cost of college. But the law established the 3.4 per-

cent rate only through this July. So unless Congress extends the reduction, the rate on unsubsidized loans would go back to 6.8 percent.

THE BACKGROUND
A little less than half of all undergraduate students have a subsidized federal loan, according to Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Finaid.org, which tracks the student loan industry. And not everyone who gets a subsidized loan is from a low-income household, Eligibility is based on nancial need, which is determined by a formula on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. So students from relatively well-off households could qualify for a subsidized loan if theyre attending an expensive school.

Roche plans a tender offer for Illumina

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Swiss drugmaker Roche plans to offer $5.7 billion for diagnostics company Illumina in a deal it says would accelerate routine clinical use of DNA testing.

Roche Holding AG said Wednesday buying Illumina Inc., which has rebuffed it, will strengthen its position in diagnostics because the companies technologies are complementary. Illuminas board Wednesday urged shareholders not to take action until it

reviews the proposal and makes a recommendation. The news sent Illuminas shares up 46 percent, or $17.46, to $55.15, well above the offer of $44.50 per share, implying that shareholders expect Roche to raise its price.

Not Als Raiders: New coach stresses defense

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA For more than three decades, the Oakland Raiders operated under a similar formula with late owner Al Davis hiring offensive-minded head coaches and remaining deeply involved in devising the teams defense. That pattern has changed with new general manager Reggie McKenzies rst major hiring since taking over the football operations

earlier this month. McKenzie is nalizing a contract to make Denver defensive coordinator Dennis Allen the teams next head coach, a person familiar with the process said Wednesday on condition of anonymity because Dennis Allen the team is not publicly discussing the search. Fox Sports and ESPN rst reported Tuesday night that the Raiders had chosen Allen to

replace the red Hue Jackson and become the teams seventh coach since 2003. Hes a smart guy, said Raiders punter Shane Lechler, who played college ball with Allen at Texas A&M. He knows defenses well. He schemes really good. Itll be interesting to see how he handles the head coaching role. This will be his rst time. Well see. Allen, 39, will be the rst new Raiders coach to come from the defensive side of the ball since Davis hired linebackers coach John Madden before the 1969 season. Madden won 103 games in 10 seasons and led Oakland to

its rst Super Bowl following the 1976 season. But the Raiders structure changed Oct. 8, when Davis died at age 82 of heart failure. Davis had run the entire operation for most of his nearly half-century with the team. His son, Mark, took over as managing partner and began making changes after the season. His rst decision was to hire McKenzie away from Green Bay to make all the major football decisions.

Panthers tied for first

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Burlingame boys basketball team has the ability to play both inside and out. Its just that the Panthers forget that sometimes. In a showdown against Mills Wednesday, the Panthers were more than willing to settle for jump shots in the rst half and they found themselves trailing 27-23 at halftime. In the second half, the Burlingame guards gured out center Nick Loew is pretty good. After scoring just two points in the rst half, the 6-7 Loew scored 17 in the second half including 10 in the third quarter as the Panthers rallied to beat the Vikings 54-47. We talked about being tougher in the second half, said Burlingame coach Jeff Dowd. Were talking all the time about getting the ball inside. In addition, Frankie Ferrari added 17 points for Burlingame, 11 coming in the second half. Nine of Loews points came from the free throw line, which is where the Panthers won the game. Burlingame (4-1 PAL Bay, 13-5 overall) shot 14 for 19 from the line, compared to just 2 for 2 for Mills. I thought we played a good rst half, said Mills coach Rick Hanson. [Burlingame] outplayed us in the second half. Theyre a good team. Just as important as nding an inside game for Burlingame, was the Panthers ability to lock down the Mills offense. After giving up 27 points in the rst half, Burlingame allowed just 20 in the second half. Im very proud of the effort we gave in the second half, Dowd said. Especially against Mills wing player Joseph Worku, who torched Burlingame for 17 rst-half points. The sophomore hit a number of unbelievable shots, including three 3-pointers in the opening 16 minutes, but he all but disappeared in the second half, however, hitting a meaningless 3-pointer with seven seconds to play to nish with a game-high 20 points. Hes never had 17 in the rst half, Hanson said. They guarded him better and he might have run out of gas. Its hard to keep that kind of pace going.

Padres remain unbeaten T

he Serra wrestling team ran its West Catholic Athletic League record to 5-0 Tuesday with a thrilling 37-33 win over Bellarmine, the perennial WCAL and CCS champion. The Padres jumped out to a big lead and then held on for their biggest win of the season. Despite Serra being ranked No. 5 in CCS and Bellarmine No. 6, rankings are thrown out the window because the WCAL title usually runs through either Bellarmine or St. Francis, Serras opponent Feb. 7. After losing the rst match of the night, Serra reeled off three straight pins Jerry DeLaRosa (132), Sean Clarke (138) and Philip Becerra (145) to put Serra up 18-3 on the scoreboard. Following a Bells win at 152, Serras Bo Hall, who nished fourth at the Mid-Cals tournament over the weekend, won a majority decision at 160. A forfeit win by Chad Thodos at 182 and a comeback win by Rees Parker at 195 gave Serra 31-13 lead with ve matches to go. Serra won only one of those but Jon Beerings win by pin at heavyweight gave the Padres just enough points to hold off the Bells. The WCAL wrestling championship will be decided when the Padres travel to Mountain View to take on a St. Francis squad ranked No. 2 in CCS by CCSrank.com. The Lancers have nished second in CCS the last three years ( behind perennial champion Gilroy) and are once again having a standout season.

Patriots secondary still question mark versus Giants

By Howard Ulman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Eli Manning could have a pretty clear view downeld against the hardly super secondary of the New England Patriots. Get ready, Julian Edelman. Here comes Victor Cruz. A young group including undrafted free agents, a Pro Bowl player in a sophomore slump and even a wide receiver was good enough to help beat Joe Flacco and the

Baltimore Ravens barely in the AFC championship game. The New York Giants and Manning, with his big-game experience and receivers Cruz and Hakeem Nicks, pose a tougher challenge in the Super Bowl on Feb. 5. The Giants are playing like theyre the best team in the National Football League at this point, former Patriots safety Rodney Harrison said Wednesday, and Eli, hes been fantastic and he will pick this secondary apart. James Ihedigbo isnt listening to the doubters.

After three years as a special teams player for the New York Jets, hes started the last 14 games at safety for the Patriots with no interceptions all season. He is, Harrison said, a serviceable player but hard-working and team-oriented. We have a saying, All we got is us, and thats how we play, Ihedigbo said. We play for each other. Since the season began, 16 different defensive backs have played. The changes began in training camp when the Patriots released starting safeties Brandon Meriweather and James Sanders.

Cutting Sanders, a smart leader, was a big mistake by coach Bill Belichick, Harrison said. The Patriots allowed 70 completions of 20 yards or more, nearly 4 1-2 a game. But Belichick saw improvement after the midpoint of the season. I dont think that necessarily the work ethic or the desire or the competitiveness to do it has changed a lot, but the results started to improve because of a little more continuity, a little better execution, better technique, more

Curry lights up Blazers Pagano hired

games in three nights at 2-1. The Warriors wore down a tired Blazers team late. Dorell Wright had a pair of dunks and Curry made a 3-pointer Stephen Curry to highlight a 165 spurt between the third and fourth quarters that put the Warriors ahead 85-75 and seemingly in complete control for another home victory. Instead, Golden State almost added to its string of recent collapses. After blowing a 20-point lead in a loss at Memphis on Monday night, the Warriors had to hold on in the

OAKLAND Stephen Curry scored a season-high 32 points and added seven assists and six rebounds, and the Golden State Warriors extended their recent home dominance against Portland with a 101-93 victory over the Trail Blazers on Wednesday night. David Lee had 26 points and ve rebounds, and Brandon Rush scored 14 points in relief to give Golden State its 12th win in the last 13 meetings at home against Portland. The Warriors also snapped a three-game losing streak and beat a Western Conference opponent for the rst time this season after an 0-6 start. LaMarcus Aldridge had 18 points and seven rebounds, and Nicolas Batum added 16 points for Portland, which nished a stretch of three

nal minutes. The Blazers whittled the Warriors lead to 91-88 on Jamal Crawfords free throws with a little less than 5 minutes to play. Then Monta Ellis, held to only four points but with 12 assists, made a fadeaway and Curry followed with a short jumper to push Golden State back in front by seven to send Portland home with another Bay Area bust. Currys surge was a welcome sign for a Warriors team that desperately needs its young franchise player to return to form after missing eight games with a recurring sprain on his surgically repaired right ankle. In only his third game back, the sharp-shooting Curry offset a slow offensive output from his backcourt teammate. And made the Blazers blistering start simply disappear.

Eye-catching uniforms come to college hoops

By Rachel Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The gray area of non-traditional uniforms is coming to college basketball. Nike unveiled its new platinum line Wednesday to be worn by nine powerhouse mens and womens teams for one game each later this season. Like the gaudy outts that have become so popular in college football, these take liberties with the programs standard color schemes. We feel we have the opportunity to create as much energy as they do on the football eld, said Tracy Teague, global creative director for Nike Basketball. Fans tuning in may need to look at the score to gure out who the squad in gray is. The jerseys and shorts are trimmed in some but not necessarily all of the schools ofcial hues. So Baylor has gold but not green, the Connecticut women red but not blue. The UConn mens trim is a dark navy that almost looks black.

And the shades chosen are electric, reminiscent of the uorescent tints Oregon football is famous for. Syracuse may have to change its nickname to the Neon Orange for its one game in these outts. We denitely get excited about it. I think players care about the way they look, North Carolina point guard Kendall Marshall said. I know if I played football, Oregon would be in my top ve no matter who I was. The team names are in a reective silver material, while the back of the jersey features a large school logo in contrasting shades of gray. Above the number is a star for each of the programs national championships; the players name is below. The teams selected have won NCAA titles wearing Nike gear: the Arizona, UConn, Duke, Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina and Syracuse men and the Baylor and UConn women. Alternate uniforms are nothing new in college basketball, with black an especially popular choice in the past.

Individual schools had previously requested gray jerseys from Nike, but this is the rst time the company has created a standardized line for basketball. The platinum color looks good on the court, Teague said at a launch event Wednesday in Manhattan. It creates a great canvas to then come in and embellish different things, he said. We talk about colors being the new black for us in the uniform world, the gray kind of is that new black background. Some fans may balk at the departure from tradition, but others rush to the merchandise shop to buy a gray jersey. And those 18- to 22-year-olds wearing the uniforms love them as do those 16- and 17-year-old recruits considering these schools. Sometimes I almost think we dont push it fast enough for them, Teague said of introducing new design innovations. I would say todays kid isnt nearly as traditional as maybe kids who came before them, he added.

INDIANAPOLIS The next chapter in the Peyton Manning saga could take a decidedly defensive turn. Indianapolis hired Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano as its new coach Wednesday and will introduce him at a news conference Thursday afternoon. Its the third time Jim Irsay Chuck Pagano has turned to a defensive-minded coach since replacing his father as team owner in 1997, rst hiring Jim Mora and then Tony Dungy as Moras replacement in 2002. I like it, Pro Bowl defensive end Robert Mathis wrote on Twitter. The Colts are hoping the change produces better results after Indy went 2-14 last season, its worst record in two decades. But there are questions about how this decision will impact the future of Manning and his teammates. The 51-year-old Pagano had been a career assistant until Wednesday. He had coached previously in the NFL at Oakland and Cleveland and also worked extensively in college with stops at Miami and North Carolina. Hes the fourth Ravens defensive coordinator to get a head coaching job in less than a decade. The others were Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, Jets coach Rex Ryan and former 49ers coach Mike Nolan. Those who have worked closely

with Pagano believe hes ready for the promotion. Chuck has a leadership quality about him. Hes humble but he also knows when to take the reins and take charge, Ravens linebacker Paul Kruger said. He doesnt try to dominate you in every meeting. Hes just a coach that knows exactly how players are and what direction they need. But Pagano is taking over a team in transition. Irsays dizzying array of moves this month has essentially cleaned house. It began with the rings of the father-son front ofce tandem of Bill and Chris Polian on Jan. 2, the day after the season. The next week, Irsay hired 39-year-old Ryan Grigson as the new general manager. Last week, coach Jim Caldwell was fired after his third season because he won only two games while Manning sat out with a neck injury and now, eight days later, Indy has his replacement -- with more changes to come. Quarterbacks coach Ron Turner, receivers coach Frank Reich and offensive line coach Pete Metzelaars all have been let go, too. That leaves offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen, running backs coach David Walker and tight ends coach Ricky Thomas among those with fates yet to be determined. Back in 2002, when Mora was red, Irsay hired Dungy but kept most of the offensive staff intact. The offseason moves are taking a toll on the teams morale. In an interview published Tuesday by The Indianapolis Star, Manning called the complex not a very good environment for healing.

Azarenka into womens final at Australian Open

By John Pye
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MELBOURNE, Australia Victoria Azarenka reached her rst Grand Slam nal and staked a claim for the No. 1 ranking when she beat defending champion Kim Clijsters 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 in the Australian Open seminals on Thursday. The third-seeded Azarenka recovered her composure twice in periods when a resurgent Clijsters seemed to have the upper hand, breaking the veteran Belgians serve three times in the third set to secure victory in

only her second appearance in a major seminal. The 22-year-old Belarusian will play either Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova or 2008 Australian Open champion Maria Sharapova in the Saturday night nal. Azarenka, Kvitova and Sharapova can all nish the tournament with the No. 1 ranking. After a strong start, Azarenkas serve deserted her in the second set and Clijsters dictated play with her solid groundstrokes and some amazing defense. But after getting the momentum

back, it was Clijsters who blinked rst in the third set, dropping serve in the second game and again in the fourth. She got two of those service games back, including one when she rallied from 40-0 down to win a game to get the score back to 4-3. But Azarenka rallied immediately again, breaking serve. She got triple match point trying to serve out the match and, after a double-fault on her first, she clinched it on a Clijsters error. Azarenka threw her racket on the court and sank to her knees, bent over with her hands covering her

face. Clijsters came around the net to congratulate her. I felt like my hand is about 200 kilograms and my body is about 1,000 and everything is shaking, but that feeling when you nally win is such a relief. My God I cannot believe its over. I just want to cry, Azarenka said as she choked back tears, then buried her face in the towel. It was just trying to stay in the moment. Kim really took over the second set and I felt there was nothing I could do. I just tried to regroup.

Clijsters is a popular player in Australia, where shes widely known as Aussie Kim. The fourtime major winner had most of the backing from the crowd on the national holiday in what is likely to be her last Australian Open. Azarenka held her nerve despite the crowd. I guess before you all thought I was a mental case. I was just young and emotional, she said in a courtside interview. Im really glad the way I ght, thats the most thing Im really proud of. I ght for every ball.

Barcelona tie sends Real Madrid packing

By Paul Logothetis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BARCELONA, Spain Another Spanish clasico followed the usual script, with Real Madrid and coach Jose Mourinho coming up short against Barcelona yet again. Pedro Rodriguez and Daniel Alves scored rst-half goals, and Barcelona held off the defending Copa del Rey champion with a 2-2 tie Wednesday night that gave the Blaugrana a 4-3 aggregate win. Real Madrid, which has won only once in its last 14 games against its rival, looked dejected as players left the eld at halftime. Some apparently doubted whether it was even possible to beat the Catalan club the defending Spanish league, European and world champions. I heard that in my dressing room, Mourinho recounted, but I didnt say that. Following the ninth clasico between the rivals in nine months, Barcelona advanced to the seminals against Valencia or Levante. Mourinho used a more attack-oriented lineup than he had in last weeks 2-1 loss in the capital, which caused him to be jeered last weekend by his teams fans. Asked whether he had erred with his opening-leg strategy, the Portuguese coach responded simply with no. Mourinho again criticized the refereeing, with his players complaining it was impossible for Los Blancos to win at the Camp Nou. The players played a very good game, Mourinho said. We came here looking to win. We knew we were behind, we were moti-

vated, wanted to win. Barcelona midelder Andres Iniesta left in the 30th minute favoring his left leg because of a torn muscle and will undergo tests Thursday. Alexis Sanchez was substituted by Javier Mascherano in the 79th after injuring a shoulder and is expected to miss one to two weeks. Blaugrana coach Pep Guardiola said Los Merengues were able to disrupt Barcelonas normally uid attack with its physical play. When you go up against such a good team, these things happen, Guardiola said. You have to get over these things, and we did. Pedro, who replaced Iniesta, put Barcelona ahead in the 43rd off a pass from Lionel Messi, who had drawn three defenders. Barcelona doubled the lead in the 45th

when a free kick by Xavi Hernandez, who was celebrating his 32nd birthday, went off Lassana Diarra and into the path of Alves, who sent a blistering shot into the top far corner past outstretched goalkeeper Iker Casillas. Cristiano Ronaldo started the comeback attempt in the 68th with his 30th goal of the season, running onto Mesut Oezils through ball and rounding goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto. Substitute Karim Benzema tied the score in 73rd. Madrid defender Sergio Ramos was ejected in the 88th minute for his second yellow card. We were superior to Barcas team today, Pepe said. Mourinho opted to start defender Pepe, who was jeered loudly on every touch after stomping on Messis hand in the rst leg. Madrid was unlucky over the rst half hour as Oezil hit the crossbar with a superb 30-yard effort, and Pinto made several point-blank stops on Gonzalo Higuain. Madrid had a Ramos goal waived off in the 54th for a foul. We played a great team, this is a clasico so you know right up to the end youre going to have to suffer and hold off your rival, Alves said. They caused us a lot of problems by pressuring high, but we knew how to respond. NOTES: Athletic Bilbao beat Mallorca 1-0 to win on 3-0 aggregate, advancing to a seminal against third-tier Mirandes. Valencia has a 4-1 lead going into Thursdays match at Levante.

Top Euro soccer clubs report $1.6B in losses

By Graham Dunbar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NYON, Switzerland Europes top soccer clubs collectively lost more than $2 billion in 2010 and their debt keeps rising ahead of plans to sanction clubs for overspending, according to UEFA research published Wednesday. Financial accounts from about 665 clubs revealed 56 percent lost money in the 2010 nancial year, and their total debt was $10.9 billion. UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino said it was a last wake-up call with clubs subject to UEFAs nancial fair play monitoring since July 2011. Clubs that overspend in an initial two-year monitoring period can be excluded from UEFA competitions starting in the 2014-15 season. We must end this negative spiral and gamble for success, Infantino said at the brieng. UEFAs top lawyer said it invested huge political capital with European institutions to create the fair-play scheme, and that the governing body would not hesitate to enforce the plans toughest penalty of barring noncompliant clubs from the lucrative Champions League. The system is not going to have much credibility if a club ... in serious breach of rules is not sanctioned in an effective way, legal director Alasdair Bell said. Amid a debt crisis in European economies, Bell said it was part of the zeitgeist to promote nancial stability. UEFAs study showed clubs combined annual loss rose 36 percent, around $520 million, on 2009 gures. This was despite rising revenues totaling $16.6 billion for top-tier European clubs, an increased income of 6.6 percent. UEFAs research showed that richer and more successful clubs were more likely to spend and lose money. Of more than 200 clubs playing in UEFAs Champions League and Europa League competitions two years ago, 65 percent spent more than they earned. Three out of every four clubs earning more than $65 million annually also recorded a loss. Clubs tend to spend more in order to obtain a competitive advantage, said Andrea Traverso, the head of UEFAs nancial fair play project. The losses can be blamed largely on overspending on salaries, staff costs and transfers, as the overall revenue for European top-tier clubs

has soared by 42 percent between 2006 and 2010. Germanys Bundesliga announced Wednesday that 36 clubs in two divisions shared record turnover of $2.89 billion last season. The 18 top-tier clubs earned a combined $68 million in prots, after agreeing to cost-cutting measures in August 2010, which have reduced overall debt to $769 million, the leagues chief executive Christian Seifert said. UEFAs research showed that the top ve leagues England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain has two-thirds of the wealth. Financial fair play (FFP) rules allow clubs to make a total loss of $6.5 million in the rst assessment period, or up to $58 million if a wealthy owner makes a one-off donation to wipe out losses. UEFA will phase in tighter monitoring rules in future years. UEFA acknowledged that 13 clubs, including several from England, would have failed its break-even tests on their 2010 accounts. The clubs were not identied. UEFA said 31 clubs, including four this season, have been refused entry to its two main club competitions since nancial licensing was introduced in 2004. However, clubs barred this season were from the small-market leagues of Ireland, Kazakhstan, Lithuania and Romania. Skepticism has grown over UEFAs willingness to take on big-spending clubs such as Premier League leader Manchester City, whose owners from Abu Dhabi funded a then $318 million loss for 2010-11, the nal season before FFP took effect. I expect that, at the last moment, (big clubs) will respect the rules, Inter Milan chief executive Ernesto Paolillo said. I cant imagine they would not. French league leader Paris Saint-Germain spent $107 million on players last offseason after being bought by Qatari owners. UEFAs project was backed by Jean-Michel Aulas, the president of Lyon whose standing in France is threatened by PSGs revival. Aulas described a dichotomy between clubs spending easy money and money for investment. Tomorrows paradigm (for clubs) must be built on building stadiums and building youth academies tangible assets that can benet football in general, Aulas said.

did not weigh against her. This particular young lady did a great job in the interview, Levine said. She brought the air of playing DI softball. First-time coaches are nothing new for Levine or Notre Dame. Last years coach, Carli Leary, was also a rst-time coach, taking the job fresh out of Notre Dame de Namur University. Her job requirements, however, forced her to step down from the program, paving the way for Fuiava. [Fuiava is] very mature for her age, Levine said. Were denitely excited. The Tigers were 17-12-1 overall last season and 7-5 in West Catholic Athletic League play. *** Sacred Heart Prep volleyball players Sarah Daschbach and Jesse Ebner will both play in the Ivy League next season. After four years playing together for the Gators, they will Allen was an aggressive coordinator in Denver, with a propensity to call blitzes that the Raiders traditionally stayed away from during Davis tenure. He preferred to pressure the quarterback with a strong defensive line and playing man coverage in the secondary. The old way worked well at times for the Raiders, who won two Super Bowls in the 1980s under Tom Flores and won three straight division titles from 2000-02 under Jon Gruden and Bill Callahan. But the team was far less successful after losing the Super Bowl to Tampa Bay in January 2003. Oakland failed to post a winning record or make the playoffs over the next nine seasons. The Raiders 99 losses over those nine seasons are the second most in the NFL and their current nine-year playoff Loew on the rst trip down the court in the third quarter. Loew was fouled and sank both free throws. Ferrari converted on a dribble-drive layup and Loew followed with a layup to tie the score at 29 with 6:19 to play in the third. The two continued to exchange baskets the rest of the way and, when Ferrari converted an improbable three-point play with 6.2 seconds left in the period, Burlingame held a 41-38 lead one the Panthers would not relinquish. In the fourth quarter, Loew and Ferrari combined to score 10 of the Panthers 13 points, but Adam Feinberg got into the act and added three The starters are Ihedigbo and cornerback Kyle Arrington, both undrafted, second-year cornerback Devin McCourty, and safety Patrick Chung, who missed seven games with a foot injury before returning for the next to last game of the regular season. The backups are Edelman, Sterling Moore, Antwaun Molden, Nate Jones and Malcolm Williams. Edelman is the only one of those ve who were with the Patriots last season, and that face each other for the rst time beginning next year in college as Daschbach has agreed to play with Princeton, while Ebner signed to play at Yale. The two were the heart and soul of the Gators squad the last three seasons, helping lead them to three straight Central Coast Section championship appearances. Sacred Heart Prep won back-to-back CCS titles in 2009 and 2010 and advanced to the 2010 Division IV state championship game. This season, the Gators made the CCS nals and the Northern California seminals. Ebner, a 6-0 middle blocker known for her wild celebrations following virtually every winning Gators point, was selected to the 2010 CIF State Championship AllTournament team. Daschbach, a 5-9 outside hitter, was more the quiet assassin, who let her play do the talking. A tremendous all-around player, she drought is tied with Cleveland for the second longest in the league. In his rst season as coordinator in Denver, Allen helped the Broncos improve from allowing a league-worst 29.4 points and 390.8 yards per game to ranking 20th in yards (357.8) and 24th in points (24.4) this season on the way to an AFC West title. The Broncos increased their sack total from 23 to 41 and were tied for the sixth-most blitzes on pass plays in the league this season, according to STATS LLC. He was very successful with us and hell be very successful with them, Broncos linebacker Von Miller said at the Pro Bowl. The Raiders struggled mightily on defense this past season despite having many highpriced players on that side of the ball. crucial points. With Burlingame clinging to a 47-44 lead, the Panthers came up with a steal. It appeared they threw it away on the ensuing fast break, but Feinberg was in the right spot at the right time. He latched onto the ball and in the same motion went in for a layup that gave the Panthers some breathing room, 49-44, with 52 seconds to play. Feinberg added a free throw with 36 seconds to play to push the Panthers lead to seven, 51-44. While the game marked the end of the rst round of Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division play, it was as big a matchup as it comes. By virtue of its last-second win over El was as a wide receiver and punt returner. The last time he played defensive back? I think 1998, he said. Pop Warner. I was 12.

McKenzies rst move was to re Jackson, who went 8-8 in his only season on the job. McKenzie then began a two-week search that ended with his choice of Allen. Before serving as Denvers defensive coordinator last season, Allen spent ve years as a defensive assistant in New Orleans and also coached for Atlanta. While Allen has run the 4-3 defense that the Raiders have used the past seven seasons, there are expected to be stark changes in strategy.

Just this past offseason, cornerback Stanford Routt, linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, defensive tackle Richard Seymour and safety Michael Huff got contracts worth more than $160 million combined. That quartet joined former top 10 pick Rolando McClain, who signed a $40 million, ve-year deal when he was drafted in 2010, and defensive tackle Tommy Kelly, who just nished the fourth year of a $50.5 million, seven-year contract, on one of the leagues most expensive defenses last season. The salaries did not translate into success. Oakland had franchise worsts in touchdown passes allowed (31), yards per carry (5.1), yards passing (4,262) and total yards (6,201), while giving up the third-most points (433) in team history. Camino last Wednesday, Mills enjoyed a onegame lead over both Burlingame and the Colts. A Vikings win would have given the Panthers two league losses and put tremendous pressure on them to defend their Bay Division title with just ve games left in the regular season. I thought we were in good position coming into this game, Hanson said. For Dowd and the Panthers, the stakes could not have been much higher. If we dont win this game, were out of the PAL hunt, Dowd said. We needed this game. Now, were back in it. up the winning touchdown in New Yorks 17-14 win. That was the last game for Harrison, now an analyst for NBC who spoke on a conference call. One point in time I said that I felt like this was the worst secondary that the Patriots had the last decade and I felt strongly about that, he said. Im not 100 percent sold on any of these guys.

It was Workus scoring that gave Mills (3-1, 12-6) the lead at halftime but, in the second half, Burlingame got its inside-outside game going. Between Ferrari and Loew, the Panthers were nearly unstoppable in the third quarter as the duo combined to score all 18 of their teams points as Burlingame shot 5 for 9 from the eld in the quarter.

In the cold,our feathered friends are friends indeed

By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Nuthatch at a suet feeder.

This year, winter preferred to put off its arrival in most parts of the country until well into January. I dare say most of us have not minded a bit. Nor have the birds and critters that populate our yards and gardens. But as temperatures retreat from that mild interlude to their seasonal norms, now is the time to pay attention to our birdfeeders. Winter reasserted itself quite abruptly in my area on the coast of Rhode Island. A sudden Arctic blast sent temperatures into the teens. Between the time I went to bed one night and when I woke up the next morning, winter went from the equivalent of a chilly North Carolina day to the type of deep freeze we associate with International Falls, Minn. It seems as if the birds that call my garden home were just as shocked as I was. I could see them itting from branch to branch in my holly trees trying to nd ripe fruit. From years of observation, I have noticed that the local bird population wont touch the hard red fruit of my hollies until after several cold snaps have occurred. I am not sure why this is, but each winter after there has been several freezes, normally long before mid January, ocks of robins, starlings and occasionally cedar waxwings descended upon the hollies. The birds seem to know exactly when the fruit is ripe and within days will pick the branches clean. This year that day coincided with the arctic blast. Up until the cold snap, I had not been keeping the feeders consistently lled, as the mild temperatures made life easier for my gardens feathered tenants. The only diners at my allyou-can-eat buffet were the gangs of freeloading gray squirrels. Now, with all the berries gone from my bushes, its time to stock the feeders regularly. I prefer lling my feeders with black-oil sunower seed rather than mixed seed. The black-oil seed tend to be less expensive, and its high fat content is exactly what birds need when temperatures drop well below freezing.

During extended cold periods, I also break out the suet feeders. Suet, too, provides a high calorie snack for many types of birds; especially those that prefer to dine on insects. Woodpeckers, ickers, nuthatches, chickadees and titmice will all readily frequent a suet feeder. Stocking feeders with appropriate seed is helpful to your neighborhood birds and keeps these insect-eating garden helpers around throughout the year. Here are a few key items to keep in mind, from the National Audubon Society website: Cleanliness rules: Birdseed can get moldy when conditions are wet; make sure there is dry, fresh seed in feeders. Also, occasionally sweeping the ground below the feeder will help prevent transmission of disease; in snowy regions, just scraping off a few inches of the snow will help. Also, clean feeders every month with a nine to one ratio of water to bleach solution (this works for plastic, ceramic and metal feeders). For wooden feeders, it recommends a diluted vinegar solution (threeto- one) or non-fragranced biodegradable soap. Provide water: Try to make sure there is a birdbath or other rough-textured container with a few inches (no deeper) of clean water, the site advises. A birdbath heater or dripping mechanism, often sold at stores or websites that sell birding supplies, will prevent freezing in winter. Change the water and clean the birdbath every few days.

Heath beds require some soil preparation: A recipe

By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Botanical kin sometimes make good garden companions, and such is the case for the heath family. You know these plants: rhododendron, azalea, pieris, mountain laurel and, of course, heather and heath. Add blueberry, huckleberry and lingonberry, and you have a grouping that can provide months of good eating, owers almost year round, and attractive stems or leaves. In Britain, such plants are among those that dwell in so-called peat gardens, in which the soil is amended with enormous quantities of peat. Peat provides the extreme acidity, low fertility, consistent moisture and aeration in which these plants thrive. All that peat is not a must for a heath bed. But some special soil preparation is required, and anytime you can work the soil is a good time to do it.

Sawdust has just a smidgen of nitrogen,and when soil microorganisms start making sawdust into humus, theyre going to need more.
which is 7 percent nitrogen.

SAWDUST,OR SOMETHING ELSE,ON THE GROUND

To prepare the bed for planting, I spread a 3inch depth of sawdust on the soil along with the fertilizer and sulfur, then dug it into the top 6 inches of soil. No need to mix the stuff any deeper because another quirk of the heath family is that the plants have few roots ranging deeper than 6 inches. This is a one-time digging, needed only to prepare the ground for planting. The bed was ready for planting the spring after the autumn soil preparation. (I could also have prepared and planted that same spring.) For best growth, peat moss is needed at planting time, in the form of a bucketful mixed into the soil of each planting hole. After planting, more sawdust is needed, or shredded leaves, wood chips, pine needles or any other weed-free organic material, spread 2 to 3 inches deep on top of the ground. Mulch, which needs to be renewed annually, protects the shallow roots from hot sun and drying out, snuffs out weeds, and gradually breaks down to keep enriching the soil with humus. The only other item in this prescription for a heath bed is water. Plants need a weekly soaking 1 inch deep, or a half-gallon per square foot of root area throughout their rst and second growing seasons.

SAWDUST IN THE SOIL

Many years ago, in autumn, I prepared a heath bed by mixing sawdust instead of peat into the soil. Any kind of sawdust will do, except that from wood that has been treated with a preservative, such as pressure treated wood. Sawdust breaks down slowly so provides a long-lasting source of humus, and it is nely divided, so it can be mixed intimately with the soil. It also acidies the soil, at least for a while. Soil acidity is crucial for most heath plants, their preference being a range from 4 to 5.5, which is much more acidic than most other plants demand. The ideal is to test your soil and then add sulfur a natural mineral to bring acidity to the correct range. In sandy soils, add three-quarters of a pound of sulfur per 100 square feet for each pH unit above 4.5. Use three times that amount for soils high in clay. Sawdust has just a smidgen of nitrogen, and when soil microorganisms start making sawdust into humus, theyre going to need more. As they scavenge excess nitrogen from the soil, plants are apt to get starved for this element. Avert the problem by adding extra nitrogen to the soil along with the sawdust, to the tune of 2 pounds of actual nitrogen for every 40 bushels of sawdust. That 2 pounds of nitrogen might be supplied, for example, by 20 pounds of any fertilizer that is 10 percent nitrogen, or by 30 pounds of my preference soybean meal,

New federal map for what to plant reflects warming

By Seth Borenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Global warming is hitting not just home, but garden. The governments colorful map of planting zones, most often seen on the back of seed packets, is changing, illustrating a hotter 21st century. An update of the ofcial guide for 80 million gardeners reects a new reality: The coldest day of the year isnt as cold as it used to be. So some plants and trees that once seemed too vulnerable to cold can now survive farther north. Its the rst time since 1990 that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has updated the map and much has changed. Nearly entire states, such as Ohio, Nebraska and Texas, are

in warmer zones. The new guide, unveiled Wednesday at the National Arboretum, also uses better weather data and offers more interactive technology. For the rst time it takes into factors such as how cities are hotter than suburbs and rural areas, nearby large bodies of water, prevailing winds, and the slope of land. It truly does reect state of the art, said USDA chief scientist Catherine Woteki. Gardeners can register their zip code into the online map and their zone will pop up. It shows the exact average coldest temperature for each zip code. The 26 zones, however, are based on ve degree increments. For example, Des Moines, Iowa, used to be

INVITE NON-RELATIVES
When planting a heath bed, theres no need to ban non-relatives. Call it a peat garden, and trilliums, some kinds of phlox and lilies, and primulas, which also enjoy these soil conditions, will also feel welcome.

perception about his bar. Both he and Haesloop told the commission the addition of food could help that by also easing any problems stemming from serving just alcohol. Last nights discussion showed that the difference of opinion are not just between the commission and Duncan but also the commissioners themselves. The expansion would include a patio surrounded by a wall with porthole windows. Chair Karen Clapper wants the proposed wall possibly moved back to widen a walkway. She also prefers all windows as apposed to a wall. Commissioner Steve Divney wanted clearer guidelines about noise but thought the design plan looks great. The definition of live and acoustic was also unclear. In other action, the Planning Commission held a study session on the draft environmental impact report for the proposed development of Wheeler Plaza. The area in question is the parking lot behind Laurel Street and San Carlos Avenue, fronting Walnut Street and several city-owned buildings along San Carlos Avenue and Laurel Street. The current plan is to create a mixeduse project but the pending dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency has put the project in flux. Regardless, the review of the final EIR is scheduled for the March 5 Planning Commission meeting followed by City Council certification at its March 26 meeting.

in zone 5a, meaning the lowest temperature on average was between minus 15 and minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Now its 5b, which has a coldest temperature of 10 to 15 degrees below zero. People who grow plants are well aware of the fact that temperatures have gotten more mild throughout the year, particularly in the winter time, said Boston University biology professor Richard Primack. Theres a lot of things you can grow now that you couldnt grow before. He uses the giant g tree in his suburban Boston yard as an example. People dont think of gs as a crop you can grow in the Boston area. You can do it now, he said. In the old 1990 map, the USDA mentions 34 different U.S. cities on its key. Eighteen of those, including Honolulu, St. Louis, Des Moines, St. Paul and even Fairbanks, are in newer warmer zones. Agriculture ofcials said they didnt examine the map to see how much of the map has changed for the hotter. But Mark Kaplan, the New York meteorologist who co-created the 1990 map and a 2003 update that the USDA didnt use, said the latest version clearly shows warmer zones migrating north. Other experts agreed. The 1990 map was based on temperatures from 1974 to 1986; the new map from 1976 to 2005. The nations average temperature from 1976 to 2005 was two-thirds of a degree warmer than for the old time period, according to statistics at the National Climatic Data Center. USDA spokeswoman Kim Kaplan, who was part of the map team, repeatedly tried to distance the new zones in the map from global warming issues. She said even though much of the country is in warmer zones, the map is simply not a good instrument to demonstrate climate change because it is based on just the coldest days of the year. David W. Wolfe, professor of plant and soil ecology in Cornell Universitys Department of Horticulture said the USDA is being too cautious and disagrees with Kaplan about whether this reects warming. At a time when the normal climate has become a moving target, this revision of the hardiness zone map gives us a clear picture of the new normal, and will be an essential tool for gardeners, farmers, and natural resource managers as they begin to cope with rapid climate change, Wolfe said in an email.

CLUB

ious, Norris said. However, the clubs general manager told the commission based on chats with residents and his own decibel readings there is no noise problem in the outlying areas. Aside from the noise factor, San Filippo said he was okay with finding all the other conditions needed to approve the permit. San Filippo was the most vocal commissioner favoring the request, saying some concerns like the number of alcohol-related incidents at Carlos Club could happen at any establishment and were not reason enough to deny owner Fred Duncan the right to expand. Attorney Mark Haesloop, representing Duncan, also said any burden on police because of intoxicated motorists is not his clients responsibility. The offense is driving. The offense is not going to the Carlos Club, Haesloop said. Duncan agreed to let the commission delay a vote while it studies the commitment of launching an acoustic study but Haesloop said the city needs to share whether it did similar evaluations of noise at Town, The Office or other places that serve alcohol. Duncans efforts to expand his business began with the city last year when he first sought the permit. Since then, a final decision has been stalled by

Sheriff Capt. Greg Rothaus public opposition, publicity over the request and scheduling to have all five commissioners present for a vote. Since the last analysis in December, Duncan and his architect worked out a plan with Recology to adequately handle the extra waste expected by the expansion. Duncan also suggested changing the patio hours to be open from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. to accommodate lunch service with live entertainment ending by 10 p.m. Duncan received a parking exemption earlier last year but the conditional use permit wasnt a certainly, particularly after Rothaus, the citys police chief, recommended the commission say no. Rothaus worries giving the club more room could also give it more chances for problems. From October 2010 to October 2011, San Carlos police logged 131 alcoholrelated incidents at the Carlos Club alone including public intoxication, driving while under the influence, public disturbances, assault, battery, domestic violence, excessive noise and random spot checks by officers, according to Rothaus. Duncan has questioned the accuracy of the numbers and said police are often lingering outside his bar rather than responding to specific calls. San Filippo last night always questioned the validity. Other commissioners also expressed surprise at the numbers for that bar but also the city overall, however they said they have no other reason to believe the figures are wrong. The problem, Duncan said, is one of

new. Both sides agree Ali and Biletnikoff met in 1997 while in their respective drug treatment programs and began a romantic relationship the following summer. Ali became a counselor at Project 90, the treatment program he entered while on probation for forcibly kidnapping a former girlfriend, and while everything seemed ne Biletnikoff had grown ambivalent about the relationship, Wagstaffe said. The weekend prior to her Feb. 15, 1999 death, Biletnikoff spent time with a childhood friend while Ali went drinking in San Francisco with another friend and continued on a bender up and down the Peninsula involving alcohol, heroin and cocaine. On the Monday after that weekend, Ali confessed his relapse to Biletnikoff who drove him from her East Bay home back to Project 90s meeting space at the Friendship Hall in San Mateo. That is the Florence Nightingale in her coming out, Wagstaffe said. What happened during the time described as roughly an hour they were alone inside an ofce is only known to Ali but Wagstaffe told jurors he was worried about what his relapse meant and was angry Biletnikoff refused to give him her car keys so he could evade his probation drug test the next day. Roughly 80 people attended a program meeting in the adjacent room but none reported hearing anything and a fellow participant who encountered Ali leaving the center after the killing said he did not seem unusual. Ali gave his family and authorities six different stories after the death, ranging from accidentally killing her with an elbow blow to his blacking out while strangling her and denials she was still alive when he switched from manual strangulation to the ligature. Ali, who Goldscheider said plans to testify, now contends Biletnikoff grew angry over the other woman during that nal confrontation. This is a man that lying is part of his nature, Wagstaffe said. What is known, Wagstaffe said, is that Ali moved Biletnikoffs body using a Project 90 van the same vehicle he used during his weekend relapse and threw her body like a piece of trash off the side of Parking Lot Three at Caada College. Her jeans had been removed said at the press conference yesterday. We have asked to meet with the president as soon as possible to discuss ways to advance meaningful relief and effective solutions for the housing market. A White House ofcial yesterday could not indicate whether Obama would meet with the delegation but offered up some of the presidents already taken actions to combat the crisis. From day one, the president has worked to stabilize the housing market and help responsible homeowners stay in their homes, including through renancing efforts, foreclosure prevention programs and programs directed at the hardest hit states. The president will continue to expand on these efforts and look at new ways to help homeowners, just as he has over the past few months with new programs to help underwater homeowners and expanding forbearance so more unemployed homeowners can stay in their homes, White House spokesman Adam Abrams wrote the Daily Journal in an email yesterday. Obama also announced efforts to provide 12 months of mortgage forbearance to unemployed borrowers through the Federal Housing Administration and Home Affordable Modication Program, according to the Obama administration. That is not enough, members of the delegation said. Though the administration has adopted the HAMP program as its signature housing initiative, the overwhelming feedback from our constituents is that HAMP has not helped them, the California delegation wrote in a letter to the president last week. The delegation is also critical of a $25 billion settlement being worked out by state attorneys general and ve big banks. The deal that will protect Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citibank and Ally Financial from more civil litigation. California Attorney General Kamala Harris, however, is not participating in the negotiations. which Goldscheider said was his attempt to stage the crime scene to look like a sexual assault in his post-murder panic. Wagstaffe said Ali drove the van and body rst to his familys home and asked his nephew if he wanted to see it before asking for money. Ali has denied doing so, instead saying after leaving the body he returned the van and grabbed Biletnikoffs car which he drove to Mexico. Ali tried re-entering the United States shortly after and authorities, now alerted to the crime by Alis uncle, arrested him near the border. Aside from Biletnikoffs death, jurors will also hear from and about two of Alis former girlfriends to show how he reacts to breakups, Wagstaffe said. The rst was kidnapped by force twice and held for several days, leading to his felony probation and ultimate path to Project 90. The second was a 15-year-old girl who Ali, then 22, impregnated in Parking Lot Three of Caada College in 1998 and later rekindled a relationship with after seeing her at Carlmont High School while making an anti-drug and alcohol presentation. Her parents had sent her back to Fiji but she returned to San Mateo County for her junior year of high school. The relationship continued up until Biletnikoffs death, marked by a Valentines Day gift from Ali just days before, Wagstaffe said. Goldscheider said yes Ali was seeing other people but so was Biletnikoff which is why both saw their relationship as an experiment and not a lifelong commitment. Ali did not kill Biletnikoff out of jealousy, Goldscheider said. Goldscheider told jurors the prosecution presented a one-sided, distorted and inaccurate version of facts. While his client foolishly did not call 911 after Biletnikoffs death and tried to avoid suspicion by leaving her body, Goldscheider said those facts have no bearing on the case. He also said Ali returned to the United States after his brief ight to Mexico because it was the right thing to do and he was weighed down by his actions. Everywhere he went he saw Tracys face, Goldscheider said. Ali remains in custody without bail. The prosecution continues its case today. The much ballyhooed multi-state settlement with mortgage servicers is not good enough, Speier said at the press conference yesterday. She praised Harris for standing up and ghting for homeowners in the state. The big banks want this deal for a reason it lets them off the hook for years of predatory and blatantly abusive practices. Again they say, trust us, we will change our ways. I say, show us the money. Words are no longer good enough. Speier also said government-sponsored Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac need to take over the mortgages of distressed property owners rather than allow existing banks to service the mortgages. She also said Fannie and Freddie need to offer 2 percent mortgages to investors who want to buy home in distressed markets to help stop re sales. Fannie Mae was established just after the Great Depression to provide local banks with federal money to nance home mortgages and help raise the levels of home ownership and the availability of affordable housing. Freddie Mac was created in 1970 to essentially compete with Fannie Mae and facilitate a more robust and efcient secondary mortgage market. For most of their existence, the two government-sponsored mortgage companies have been the nations largest backers of residential home loans. But in 2008, the Bush administration seized control of both organizations and they are both now under government conservatorship. Both received about $150 billion in federal bailout money. Several executives at both companies are now facing fraud charges by the Securities and Exchange Commission for failing to disclose billions of dollars in risky subprime mortgages. Where is the accountability for the banks for the unnecessary suffering they are causing? This kind of behavior is unconscionable and cannot be allowed to continue, Speier said at yesterdays press conference.

TRIAL

undiagnosed until he was imprisoned, Goldscheider said. Alis killing of Biletnikoff came during a particularly tense and provocative exchange between these two lovers that day and the hands he put on her shoulder after she blocked his exit at the rehab center somehow made it up around her neck, Goldscheider said. The crux of the case before the jury is not whether Ali strangled Biletnikoff rst with his hands and then with a knotted Tshirt before dumping her partially nude body down a ravine at Caada College in Redwood City. Instead, the attorneys are debating the details they say either prove Ali deliberately killed his girlfriend because she was leaving him or that the death was a crime of passion after which he failed to take responsibility. The defense argues Biletnikoff was dead before the second strangulation but Wagstaffe said his forensic expert will prove otherwise, therefore illustrating Alis intent to kill. The answers reached by jurors will determine the degree of homicide and therefore how much time, if any, Ali must still serve in prison. Wagstaffe successfully prosecuted Ali in 2001 and he was sentenced to 60 years to life in prison for rst-degree murder and a previous kidnapping. In 2009, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the conviction, ruling that Wagstaffe had improperly removed at least one black individual from the jury pool for racial discrimination reasons. Wagstaffe, now the elected district attorney, maintains the ruling was incorrect. If jurors convict Ali of voluntary manslaughter rather than murder this time, he faces 11 years During his opening remarks, Wagstaffe projected photos of the rehab center, Friendship Hall, and the community college that were taken back in 1999. Much of the trial will also revisit the same evidence and witnesses although Goldscheiders revelations of another woman and mental illness is completely

CRISIS
Continued from page 1
time for the Obama administration to take the foreclosure crisis seriously. In Tuesday nights State of the Union address, Obama said his administration would create a mortgage crisis unit to move aggressively to investigate the causes of the subprime mortgage market catastrophe. Yesterday, the co-chair of the new state and federal unit, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, told reporters the unit would tackle every aspect of the conduct that created the bubble and crash, including the sources of the mortgages and the packaging of them into securities. Schneiderman made the comment after an event at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in Washington, D.C. yesterday. U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, speaking alongside Eshoo and the rest of the California delegation yesterday, compared the current mortgage crisis to the savings and loan scandal of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Speier said the FBI had 1,000 investigators looking into the savings and loan scandal at its height resulting in more than 500 convictions of executives at those institutions. That compares to about 240 agents working on mortgage fraud cases in 2010 and no executives criminally charged, Speier said at the press conference. It is no wonder the public lacks trust in their government. Members of the California delegation have grown increasingly weary with the Obama administration after spending more than a year speaking with his staff and other housing ofcials about the crisis. There still seems to be no bold or effective action taken by the administration, U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose,

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Unless youre careful

not suited for the role of being a borrower or a lender. Putting yourself in either position could place you squarely behind the eight ball. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Even though you might solicit advice from several people, it isnt likely you will follow anyones suggestions. Youll still erroneously do things as you initially intended. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be both realistic and sensible about any of your physical limitations. For example, if you attempt to lift something that is far too heavy, youll suffer the consequences.

about how you conduct yourself when mixing with society, youll be in way over your head. A slip of the tongue will get blown out of proportion. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont take your luck for granted when the stakes are higher than usual. Chances are youll miscalculate and take others down with you when its time to pay the piper. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even if youve done something that is considered to be quite outstanding, subdue temptation to boast about it. Praise will sound a lot better coming from an impressed observer. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There are a lot of sticky fingers out there, so be extra watchful of your pos-

sessions, especially the stuff you keep in your car. Dont walk away and leave items in plain sight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your thinking about a personal situation is apt to be right on the money, but that doesnt mean you can make judgment calls for others. You could be way off track. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- In situations where you are hoping to get more in return than you put out, youre likely to be greatly disappointed. There are no free rides in this economy. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- When invited to a social gathering at a friends house, dont overstay your visit. Even if youre one of the late arrivals, be sure to be among those who know when to leave.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Guard against a

strong inclination to blame a mistake that you make on another who was trying to help you out. Avoid at all costs doing anything that could make your friend feel used and unappreciated. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be smart, and refrain from entering into a conversation with a friend who feels just as strongly about his or her opposing point of view as you do about yours. Both parties would lose out. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Egypt marks first anniversary of uprising

Islamists and liberals square off in Tahrir Square
By Sarah El Deeb and Maggie Michael
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians thronged major squares across Egypt on Wednesday to mark the first anniversary of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak, in rallies that turned into a show of strength by secular groups in their competition with the countrys powerful Islamists over demands for an end to military rule. Cairos Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the 18 days of protests against Mubarak, was transformed into the focal point of the rivalry between revolutionary activists

who want to show they can still mobilize the street and the Muslim Brotherhood, who emerged as Egypts dominant political force after a landslide victory in parliament elections. The secular activists urge continued protests to force the immediate ouster of the generals who took power after Mubaraks fall, saying they are just as dictatorial as the former president. The activists touted their powerful turnout as a sign they can pressure the Brotherhood, who they fear will accommodate the military in order to ensure their own political dominance. I have hope that these marches will be a message to the Brotherhood as much as the mili-

tary council, said Sahar AbdelMohsen, who walked 3 1/2 miles (5 kilometers) in a giant march across Cairo to Tahrir. We all know even if the Brotherhood are strong, the military council is still stronger. ... What we all want is an end to military rule, she said. Both sides were intent on bringing out as many supporters as possible to show their weight in a nation still reeling from the aftershocks of Mubaraks ouster. The Islamists got off to a strong start, taking up positions in Tahrir in the morning and claiming the right to police it, with Brotherhood volunteers checking the bags of those entering.

Palestinian leader: Talks with Israel over
WEST BANK A low-level dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians about a future border has ended without any breakthrough, the Palestinian president said Wednesday, reecting the impasse plaguing the negotiations for at least three years. President Mahmoud Abbas said he would consult with Arab allies next week to gure out how to proceed now. While frustrated with the lack of progress, Abbas is under pressure to extend the Jordanian-mediated exploratory talks, which the international community hopes will lead to a resumption of long-stalled formal negotiations on establishing a Palestinian state.

By Abdi Guled, Robert Burns and Katharine Houreld

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA An American aid worker rescued by Navy SEALs in Somalia was a student leader at her Christian grade school, attended a religious college in suburban Philadelphia and fell in love with Africa while doing student teaching in Nairobi. The Rev. Don Meyer, president of Valley Forge Christian College, said everyone at the small school in suburban Philadelphia is thank-

ful their prayers have been answered with word that 2007 graduate Jessica Buchanan, 32, was rescued along with Poul Hagen Thisted, a 60-year-old Dane. The two were working with a demining unit when gunmen kidnapped them in October. Ever since Jessica was captured, we all as a community have been praying for her safety and for her safe release, Meyer said in a telephone interview. The priority is just how grateful we are that she is safe.

MOGADISHU, Somalia Held captive since last fall, an ailing American woman and a Danish man will soon be safely on their way home after a bold, dark-of-night rescue by U.S. Navy SEALs. The commandos slipped into a Somali encampment, shot and killed nine captors and whisked the hostages to freedom. The raids success was welcome news for the hostages and their families, for the military and for President Barack Obama, who was delivering his State of the Union speech and beginning a ve-state tour as the mis-

sion wrapped up. He did not mention it in his address but dropped a hint upon arriving in the House chamber by telling Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Good job tonight. It was the second splashy SEAL Team 6 success in less than a year, following last Mays killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. The SEALs encountered some degree of resistance from the kidnappers at the encampment, two U.S. ofcials said, and there was a reght during an approximately 1- to 1 1/2hour operation. One defense ofcial said it was likely that the SEALs killed the kidnappers rather than capture them because they encountered armed resistance or the threat of resistance.
