Making love work beyond V-day
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Valentine’s Day is known for choco-
lates, going that extra mile and all things
mushy but one night doesn’t make a
relationship work.
Let’s face it, if there is only one night
during which effort is put forth, the rela-
tionship won’t work. So while
Valentine’s Day is the day of love,
maybe it should also be a jumping off
point to stronger intimacy year round.
Getting to that level takes some taboo
and un-sugar-coated truths, many of
which were shared by best friends Leslie
Kaplan and Peg Melnik.

FEMA releases flood map
Race on to fix levee before map affects insurance rates
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A revised flood map issued by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency Jan. 31 clas-
sifies most of Foster City as a special flood
hazard area that would require property own-
ers with federally-insured mortgages to buy
flood insurance.
The flood map will not impact insurance
rates at least until December, however, as
levee improvements the city of San Mateo is
currently making should bring the Shoreview
neighborhood and Foster City out of the flood
zone completely.
Foster City received a revised preliminary
Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map from
FEMA Jan. 31.
San Mateo received the same letter, said
Public Works Director Larry Patterson.
FEMA’s current timetable is to make the
BART rider satisfaction declines
OAKLAND — A new survey shows a
decline in riders’ satisfication with the Bay
Area Rapid Transit train system.
The poll conducted last year by BART was
released on Thursday and comes as the agency
has raised fares and cut back on service
because of budget problems. Overall, 82 per-
cent of riders surveyed still said they were
very or somewhat satisfied with the train sys-
tem. But that’s down two percent from 2008.
Sixty-four percent of riders rated BART a
good value compared with 71 percent two
years earlier.
Customers were particularly critical of
BART’s cleanliness. Satisfaction with the
condition and cleanliness of seats dropped by
5.6 percentage points and train floors by 4.1
points.
BART spokesman Linton Johnson says the
agency approved a deep-cleaning effort for

map effective by December of this year while
San Mateo expects for the South Bayfront
Levee project to be completed by the end of
January 2012.
The San Mateo City Council committed $6
million in bonds for the project last month as
residents on the east side of the city voted two
years ago to assess themselves about $80
annually to pay for three miles of levee
improvements. About 18,000 homes in San
Mateo and Foster City would be forced to pay
higher insurance rates if the neighborhood had
not voted for the assessment.
The revised DFIRM is subject to a 90-day
comment period after which FEMA will con-
sider any comments prior to making a final
determination.
After the letter of final determination is
issued, property owners purchasing flood

halts raids of pot dispensaries
SAN JOSE — Santa Clara County law
enforcement officials have at least suspended
any future raids of medical marijuana dispen-
saries.
Danielle Ayers, commander of the County
Special Enforcement Team, says there will be
no more raids of dispensaries while county
prosecutors review medical marijuana laws.
Holding off on any new raids comes after
members of the drug task force conducted a
series of raids last year on dispensaries
throughout the county. Medical marijuana
advocates criticized the raids, while some
neighborhood activists approved.
effective will benefit from lower rates associ-
ated with Foster City’s current flood designa-
tion as being protected by levees.
In 2008, FEMA released a preliminary
flood map that showed expanded areas in San
Mateo County, including areas south of State
Route 92 and all of Foster City that would be
reclassified as special flood hazard zones.
Areas designated as special flood hazard
zones are susceptible to a 1 percent chance of
a flood occurring in any given year, also
referred to as a “100-year flood.”
Construction on the South Bayfront Levee
project starts this month.
Until the DFIRM becomes effective, pur-
chase of flood insurance is not required.
The San Mateo Public Works Department
will send residents in the Shoreview neighbor-
hood an update on the levee project next
week.
Two 1880s-era schooners
unearthed in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO — Utility crews dig-

Only one of the some 400 scow schooners

area and examine the vessels.
Scott Baxter, the historical consultant on the

Schwarzenegger returning to acting
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — After seven
years in the California governor’s
mansion, Arnold Schwarzenegger is
returning to his old day job: acting.
Schwarzenegger wrote on Twitter
that he’s ready to start considering
film roles again.
The former governor tweeted
Thursday night: “Exciting news. My
friends at CAA have been asking me
for 7 years when they can take
offers seriously. Gave them the
green light today.”
Creative Artists Agency is a lead-
ing Hollywood talent agency.
Schwarzenegger’s personal aide,
Daniel Ketchell, confirmed the
tweet Friday morning.
Before leading the state of
California from 2003 to 2010, the
former body builder was the star of
such blockbusters as the
“Terminator” franchise and “True
Lies” and comedies like
“Kindergarten Cop” and “Twins.”

Man on motorcycle killed
in collision with CHP car
A Burlingame man was killed
Thursday night and an El Granada
man suffered major injuries when
the motorcycle they were riding col-
lided with a California Highway
Patrol car on Highway 101 in
Redwood City, a CHP officer said.
The patrol car tried to pull over the
motorcycle for a speed violation at
about 9:30 p.m. on southbound
Highway 101 north of Ralston
Avenue, but the riders on the 1992
Suzuki resisted, CHP Officer Art
Montiel said.
The motorcycle exited the high-
way at Holly Street, where the men
attempted to elude CHP officers
before re-entering southbound
Highway 101 at Harbor Boulevard,
Montiel said.
As the motorcycle approached
Brittan Avenue, a patrol car on the
on-ramp to Highway 101 began
accelerating to assist in the pursuit.
For reasons yet to be determined,
the motorcycle crossed several lanes
of traffic and into the path of the
patrol vehicle entering the freeway,
Montiel said.
Both of the men on the motorcycle
were transported to Stanford
Hospital, where Grant Coles, 45, of
Burlingame, succumbed to his
injuries, Montiel said.
Joseph Coles, 19, of El Granada,
suffered major injuries in the crash.
The officer sustained minor injuries
but did not require medical treat-
ment, Montiel said.
The CHP is still trying to deter-
mine who was driving the motorcy-
cle at the time of the collision.
Witnesses are asked to contact
Redwood City CHP Officer K.

Both suspects are described as

feet tall and weighing 160 to 185
pounds.
One man had on a black hooded

Whooping cough
vaccine now mandatory
San Mateo County students in
grades seven to 12 must show proof
of a whooping cough vaccine begin-
ning this summer as part of a
statewide law prompted by the
recent epidemic.
The requirement will affect nearly
55,000 students locally, according to
the Health System.
In response, health officials are
declaring Feb. 13-19 “Preteen
Vaccine Week” and encouraging
parents to have children vaccinated
with Tdap now to meet the school
requirements taking effect July 1.
Parents are also encouraged to check
that all immunizations are current.
“Immunity received from child-
hood vaccines can weaken over
time, and it is important for preteens
and teens to get vaccinated again to
remain protected from whooping
cough and several other conditions,”
said Dr. Scott Morrow, San Mateo

S.F. high schoolers
hold HIV-testing day
By Marcus Wohlsen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — By the
time today’s teenagers were old
enough to read, new drugs were
available that meant HIV was no
longer a death sentence.
But with infections among youth
and young adults in the U.S. still ris-
ing, one senior at The Urban School
of San Francisco decided his peers
needed more than just another class-
room lesson.
Nearly all 75 members of the sen-
ior class got tested for HIV in the
school gym Friday.
“A lot of kids have never thought
about it,” said Oliver Hamilton, 17,
who organized the testing. “The
goal . is to make HIV relevant.”
Man gets 60 years
in prison in Levy slaying
WASHINGTON — The man con-
victed of killing Washington intern
Chandra Levy nearly a decade ago
was sentenced Friday to 60 years in
prison, a term that could keep him
behind bars the rest of his life.
Ingmar Guandique would not be
released from prison until he was at
least about 80 years old, assuming
he lives that long, said District of
Columbia Superior Court Judge
Gerald Fisher. The judge, who
called Guandique a dangerous per-
son and sexual predator, said the
sentence would ensure he was not a
danger to the community if he is
released.
The testing was voluntary, and
organizers of the unusual event will
not make any results public.
Tens of thousands of new HIV
infections are diagnosed in the U.S.
annually. Nearly a third of those
involve youth and adults under 30,
according to Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention data.
Hamilton and the classmates he
enlisted say it’s important for teens
to recognize that HIV/AIDS is their
generation’s disease, too — not just
something that happened in the
1980s or afflicts only intravenous
drug users and men who have sex
with men.
Yet they also say that at a high
school, any event that touches on
such an intimate and often stigma-
tized health issue is a delicate
endeavor.

House GOP unveils $61B spending cut plan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — House
Republicans called for cuts in hun-

government Friday night in a $61
billion savings package toughened
at the last minute at the demand of
tea party-backed conservatives.
From education to job training,

In contrast, spending on defense

The measure marks an initial

In a statement, House Majority

weeks of partisan struggle over

San Francisco’s law requiring a

The proposed legislation, which
Hill, D-San Mateo, formally unveiled
in Millbrae Friday morning, would
limit the controversial local-hire poli-

Letters to the editor
Anti-abortion protesters
Editor,
We were warned that opening a
Planned Parenthood facility on El
Camino in Redwood City would
attract anti-abortion protesters, and
they have arrived. The disgusting
imagery on their signboards is an
affront to the dignity of the communi-
ty and an abuse of free speech rights.
Apparently driven by sincere concern
but tinged with religious zealotry,
these well-meaning folks are way off
base. History has taught us that when
abortion is criminalized and driven
underground it will do more harm
than it does when offered as a legal
option.
Instead of surrounding the new clin-
ic with gory signs and dogmatic atti-
tudes, I would urge the protesters to
exercise their belief in more positive
activities. There are Christian organi-
zations that provide unplanned preg-
nancy counselling, aid in parenting
and adoptive care. I'm sure they
would be thrilled to have volunteers,
aid from fundraisers and qualified
adoptive parents.

Human lives
Editor,
I noticed the uproar and concern
that was shown about a proposed
sight for a new Planned Parenthood in
Redwood City on Friday, Feb 4. I
wish that some concern would be
shown for the taking of life by means
of the “death penalty.” The Catholic
Church states that it “stands for the
protection of human life at all stages
of development.” There can be no
doubt that strapping a man to a gur-
ney, and injecting him with poison
until he dies is the taking of human
life.

Peninsula rent increases
Editor,
When we vote for bond issues, both
property taxes and rents increase.
When we vote for parcel taxes, prop-
erty taxes and rents increase. The cost
of maintenance has increased many
folds which causes rents to increase.
Many folks cannot move out so they
must hang in there somehow.

The real heroes
Editor,
Cargill/DMB’s recent ad for their
Redwood City Saltworks Project in
the Jan. 28 edition of The Daily
Journal is revealing in what it doesn’t
tell Peninsula residents. Commercial
and residential buildings for the new
city of 30,000 people have been omit-
ted in their conceptual drawing, and
the drawing’s perspective makes their
proposed 13-foot tall flood levee con-
veniently “disappear.”
Even worse, there’s no mention that
the Saltworks development would
cover 70 percent of the site, or that
1,000 acres of salt pond habitat cur-
rently used by migratory shorebirds
would be lost. The ad doesn’t say that
the salt ponds they want to develop
are some of the more easily restorable
in the South Bay, or that the Bay has
lost thousands of acres of tidal marsh
so that Cargill can make salt.
If Cargill is no longer extracting
salt from the Bay, they should restore
all of those diked ponds back to origi-
nal resource values, and at their own
cost. We require no less from other
industries, like strip-mining, that dam-
age natural resources for profit.
Because Cargill is not being held
accountable for restoring the Bay’s
tidal marshes, that burden falls on
everyone in the United States. All
U.S. citizens are collectively sharing
the expense of turning back the envi-
ronmental damage done to our Bay,
just as we’re all supporting restoration
of the Everglades, Chesapeake Bay
and other critically important wet-
lands throughout America.
So when it comes to ensuring we
have a healthy San Francisco Bay, the
American people are the real heroes,
not Cargill/DMB.

Pass around the blame
Editor,
Jerry Hill and Jackie Speier keep
pounding on PG&E and NTSB about
the blame of welding of the gas pipes
in San Bruno. How about the city
management of San Bruno who per-
mitted the construction of houses
close to the gas pipe lines? Shouldn’t
the building and inspection depart-
ment of San Bruno, at that time, have
done their own inspection of the pipes
as they do on building projects?
The Bay Bridge also recently had
problems with the welding at the
bridge supports. Recently the San
Mateo/ Hayward bridge was repaired
because of welding structure defects.
Welding does not last forever.

OPINION
Presently the Bay Meadows Land
Company is installing pipes under-
ground for the new houses to be built.
Is the city of San Mateo inspection
department being involved in that
project if welding is the method being
used?
When the first phase of Bay
Meadows, which was done several
years ago with Jerry Hill, who was on
the San Mateo City Council at that
time, concerned about those gas lines?
Houses within 500 feet of those larger
supply lines should be informed when
they purchase those houses and sur-
face markers should identify where
they are located.
Remember, we live in earthquake
country and our ground is always
moving.

The rest of the story
Editor,
Recently, Gina Papan has stated, “I
am the only candidate in the top three
who has not written a large personal
check to my campaign.” Ms. Papan,
however, has not told us the entire
story. True, she did not contribute to
her campaign during the most recent
reporting period, ending Dec. 31,
2010.
However, county records for the
previous reporting period show a June
29, 2010 contribution from Virginia I.
Papan (Gina), totaling $20,000. In my
mind, this is a “large” amount and,
more importantly, we have been mis-
led by Ms. Papan. How can we afford
to elect someone who is trying to mis-
lead us?
We deserve a leader, not a mis-
leader. Now, that’s the rest of the
story.

A good use of federal money
Editor,
Does it not seem odd that money
needed for local train service is not
available, while we consider spending
billions of dollars on useless high-
speed rail? Why not take some of that
money and use it to fund current, use-
ful and valuable service that really

Weekend • Feb. 12-13, 2011 9
Moving on
T
he first question we need to ask ourselves is how did
we get here, economically? I asked that of several
California legislators on my television show one time.
The answers were so reminiscent of what we read regularly
about some sports figures, movie stars and other entertainers,
who spend their immense salaries as if they will be earning the
same dollars in succeeding years and end up bankrupt.
Governments often follow
the same economic fantasies
when times are good and tax
receipts reflect that. Then they,
and the state, become blind-
sided by reality. Didn’t the
“know nothings” bring this on
to some extent by raving
about Reagan’s boom era
expansion, believing it was
endless, when it was actually
a bubble? During that period,
the financial industry exer-
cised the fears of responsible
economists by leveraging
“our” money recklessly into a
“Great Recession?”
As a nation, we desperately
need to have all political persuasions and responsible economic
leaders, loyal to country, all, to get together to pin down the
recklessness that can be excised from the national budget.
What I fear is a continuation of the “don’t give Obama a victo-
ry” mind-set that could have immobilized us for the past two
years.
There are already established practices that will have to be
curbed to successfully get hold of our national financial house.
We must see to it that the “moral hazard,” never be in play
again in which we entrust our earnings and savings to financial
institutions and they play their own games with it, same as in
the late 1920s. Certainly, as the conservatives argue, many took
out mortgages they could not afford, but do they not remember
the ongoing spamming of our e-mails and the filling of snail
mail and our print media imploring the unwary into fulfilling
their home owning dreams with seductive mortgages plans?
The conservatives seem to have a policy of always blaming
the victims of economic scams, never the con artists and
greedy in an unregulated economic system. Dear Lord! Never,
never monitor or regulate in defiance of the sacred words of the
final economic prophet, Ronald Reagan.
Historically, all economic levels of income and wealth have
suffered equally, but in the unique Reaganomic world, the
financial industry and the big business world have been coming
out like bandits, with the greatest profit years in history, while
the other classes are still holding on with their fingernails or
have already dropped off into the abyss of hopelessness.
Could we ever imagine that a president of the United States
would need to go hat in hand to the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce asking their members to be good citizens and let
loose of some that $2 trillion they are holding to help revive
the nation’s economy? Can you imagine that, knowing full
well that many of these super patriots are regularly shipping
American jobs overseas to such countries as China, India and
Brazil?
In the old feudal days, citizens needed to serve the king and
his nobles and these, in return, were charged with “Noblesse
oblige” the obligation to help and protect their people. With the
advent of democracy, modern man (and woman) could work
for the economic kings and nobility and become sovereign in
their own homes. The glory of our land was that the economy
was serving the public.
So there is such a thing as “economic patriotism,” but the
“economic kings and nobility” of the United States, protected
by our national government with our sons and daughters fight-
ing wars to protect them as well as all of us, do not recognize
that. They are regularly shipping many of American jobs over-
seas, exercising loyalty only to themselves and their stockhold-
ers (many of whom, in the global economy, are from other
lands), while everything Obama does to help and save the
lower economic classes gets dumped upon as socialism. The
new economic model seems to have become, American citi-
zens are serving these business entities.
It is ironic, that while we are hailing the people of Egypt
who are fighting to reclaim their power, here in the United
States, without complaint, we are willingly and systematically
surrendering that power to the immensely wealthy financial
industries, corporations and business owners, such as the Koch
brothers with $42 billion and Supreme Court Justices Antonin
Scalia and Clarence Thomas as house pets.
But it’s not all hopeless. We still have the power of the vote.
And, as Lincoln said: “You can’t fool all of the people all of
the time.” When enough citizens become aware of what has
been happening to them, they will ignore the flood of millions
of dollars of propaganda and PR that floods the media by their
paid commentators and vote the country back to some econom-
ic sanity.

Stocks end week up
Markets rally after Mubarak relinquishes power
1,359.90
By Joyce M. Rosenberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks ended the
week with a moderate gain Friday after
the resignation of Egypt’s President
Hosni Mubarak eased investors’ fears
about a spread of violence to oil-produc-
ing countries.
The Dow Jones industrial average,
down nearly 50 points early in the day as
Mubarak tried to remain in office, closed
up 44. The price of oil fell to a 10-week
low.
Investors have been concerned during
the nearly three weeks of anti-govern-
ment demonstrations in Egypt that the
unrest could spread to countries like
Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s biggest
exporters of oil. Traders’ uneasiness did-
n’t stop the market from rising in
response to strong fourth-quarter earn-
ings, and it didn’t’ stop the Dow from
making its first move past 12,000 since
June 2008. But Egypt nonetheless has
been a nagging concern.
“The market is relieved that the unrest
in Egypt has come to an end with
Mubarak having relinquished power,”
said Peter Cardillo, chief market econo-
mist at Avalon Partners.
Cardillo noted that news of Mubarak’s
resignation came shortly after encourag-

of money, and I may be susceptible to
the AMT and you may not be.”
How is that possible?
It’s mainly due to the fact that the
AMT treats certain sources of income
differently, such as that coming from
incentive stock options. And certain
deductions that are allowed under the
regular system, such as real estate tax
and state income tax, are not allowed
under AMT. That can make a big differ-
ence for taxpayers who live and work in
high-tax states.
Another tough hit that may require
you to pay the AMT is the elimination of
dependent exemptions under AMT. A

Greed fuels
labor mess

“don’t care about the details” of
contract negotiations.
But he better keep his fingers crossed
that doesn’t change anytime soon. This is
one of those arguments where the more
you know, the less you like everyone
involved. So let’s get the blame game start-
ed with a few details:
Owners and players are fighting over
how to divvy up
roughly $9 billion in
revenues. The average
franchise is valued at
just over $1 billion
and the average player
salary is just under $2
million. Yet they’re
still so far apart on a
new deal that
Thursday’s bargaining
session ended after
JIM LITKE just two hours without
a word on when it
might resume.
So why not call off the rest of the sched-
uled sessions and just go straight to a lock-
out? That way, fans can focus on the one
question they do care about: Who’s really
greedier, the millionaires or billionaires?
The short answer is you can’t go wrong
picking either side.
It’s always risky trying to fix the main
obstacle to an agreement until one is
signed. But the early deal-breaker appears
to be the owners’ demand to take $2 billion
from the pot — instead of the $1 billion set
out in the last deal — even before discus-
sions start on how to split the rest of the
economic pie.
The owners are smart enough not to
plead poverty, especially since they’ve just
pulled in record TV ratings and an even
bigger stockpile of goodwill following one
of the most entertaining seasons ever. So
they’re arguing they need the extra billion
or so to set up a rainy-day superfund to
cover the rising costs of everything, from
buying and improving stadiums to supply-
ing chalk for locker-room bulletin boards.
“We have a healthy business. We are not
losing money. We have never said that,”
Eric Grubman, NFL executive vice presi-
dent of business operations, told reporters
during a briefing session last month at
league headquarters.
“We do not have a healthy business
model,” he added. “We don’t want to be
the home-building industry of 2005. We
don’t want to be the ’dot-com’ industry of
1999.”
That sounds good, especially after

Bonds to enter plea for a third time
SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds’ perjury trial is fast
approaching and the lawyers and judge are still scrambling to
set limits and rules for the month-long proceedings scheduled
to start March 21.
On Friday, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston ordered Bonds
to enter a plea for the third time since he was initially charged
in 2007 with lying to a grand jury about his steroids use. The
new plea was needed because prosecutors the day before filed
a revised indictment, cutting the number of charges Bonds
faces from 11 to five.
Record losing streak snapped
By Tom Withers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — Daniel Gibson
slipped an expensive gold chain over his
head and touched its dangling diamond-
studded medallion.
Looking up at the crush of cameras, he
took a deep breath and exhaled.
“I can smile again,” he beamed. “It feels
pretty good. Winning is a precious feel-
ing.”
The losing streak — so long, so embar-
rassing, so hard to stop — is over.
Finally. Barely.
Nearly two months after it started inno-
cently, the Cavaliers stopped their NBA-
record skid at 26 games Friday night with
a 126-119 win in overtime against the Los
Angeles Clippers, who did all they could
to extend Cleveland’s winter misery.
The Cavs, who had become a national
joke as the losses piled up, won for the
first time since Dec. 18 and just the sec-
ond time in 38 games. They had to go an
extra five minutes to ensure they didn’t set
the mark for the longest skid in pro sports
history.
They’ll gladly settle with tying the
NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the
worst streak among the four major sports.
It’s one they didn’t want to own, and
they played like it.
“It’s a great feeling and great for the
morale of this team, this city and these
fans,” said Antawn Jamison, who
matched a season high with 35 points.
“It’s finally good to get it. We’ve been
working so hard for this. We finally got
it.”
Jamison made the game’s biggest bas-
ket, a 3-pointer with 22 seconds left in OT
for the Cavs, who may have gotten a
favorable call at the end of regulation
when J.J. Hickson blocked Baron Davis’

potential game-winning layup in the final
second.
The Clippers thought he goaltended.
“I can’t say what I think about all those
things,” Los Angeles forward Blake
Griffin said. “That was unbelievable.
Throughout the whole game, it was just
unbelievable. That was the worst home-
court advantage I’ve ever seen. There’s
such a thing as home-court advantage, but
that was unbelievable.”
Gibson scored nine in overtime and
Hickson, playing like a man possessed all
night in a matchup with Griffin, added 27
points and 14 rebounds.
The Clippers made the Cavs (9-45)
sweat out every second. Down by six, Los
Angeles cut it to 120-119 on Randy
Foye’s 3 with 44 seconds left. But
Jamison responded by popping outside on
an inbounds play and draining his 3 from
the left wing to revive the hopes of
Cleveland fans, whose emotions soared
and dropped by the minute.
After Foye’s 3 rattled in and out with 14
seconds remaining, Gibson was fouled
and Davis was ejected for arguing, later
saying he didn’t want to see the Cavs cel-
ebrate.
Gibson made the technical and dropped
two more free throws to put the Cavs up
by seven. When Los Angeles misfired on
its last trip, Cavs forward Jamario Moon
grabbed the loose ball and held it high as
the clock ticked off the precious last sec-
onds.
The final horn sounded, but was
drowned out by Cleveland’s fans as wine-
and-gold streamers and confetti that had
been sitting high above Quicken Loans
Arena since a week before Christmas
tumbled from the ceiling. Moments later,
the anthemic “Cleveland Rocks” shook
the building.
The Cavs savored the win by lingering
on the floor before heading to the locker
room, where they celebrated as if they had
won a playoff game.
“They’re in there jumping around and
having a good time,” Cleveland coach
Byron Scott said. “I told them to enjoy it
but let’s not take a big breath and think
OK we got a win, great. We have to think
that we are supposed to win games.”
Griffin had 32 points and 13 rebounds,
Davis scored 26 and Foye had 23 for the
Clippers.
The Cavs were energized by the return
of Mo Williams, who had 17 points and
14 assists in his first game in nearly a
month because of a hip injury.

Sharks’unbeaten streak halted
By Tom Canavan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. — Ilya Kovalchuk is
finally playing like the $100 million man.
Kovalchuk scored with 3:59 to play for
his second game-winning goal in as many
nights and the New Jersey Devils won the
matchup of the NHL’s hottest teams with a
2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on
Friday night.
“I’ve seen it before,” said Devils goal-
tender Johan Hedberg, who played with
Kovalchuk in Atlanta. “This is the fifth
year I’ve been with him. He’s an elite play-
er in the world. Like everybody else, he
had a slower start than he wanted. You can
tell he’s stepped it up a couple of notches.
He’s playing a complete hockey game all

goals.”
The turnaround has coincided with the
late-December coaching change that saw
Jacques Lemaire replace John MacLean.
Kovalchuk not only has developed his
two-way game under Lemaire, he has
rediscovered his scoring touch, tallying 11
of his 19 goals since the switch.
“We’re all playing better,” said
Kovalchuk, who has nine goals in the
Devils’ current 12-1-2 spurt that has kin-
dled playoffs hopes. “It seems like we
never stop battling. That’s character.
That’s when you feel comfortable to play
confident with the puck and without it and
we get the bounces. We didn’t feel that in
SPORTS
the first 30 games, that’s for sure.”
This game was a mirror of the last three.
They fell behind and found a way to come
back.
Brian Rolston had tied the game earlier
in the third period on a power play and
Hedberg made 31 saves to keep the Sharks
at bay as New Jersey won its fourth
straight.
Patrick Marleau scored for San Jose,
which had a season-high five-game win-
ning streak snapped and lost for the first
time in regulation in 11 games (9-1-1).
“You don’t want to see the streak end,
that’s for sure,” Marleau said. “I think we
carried the play a lot of the game and did-
n’t find the back of the net. It’s something
we wanted to keep going. Now we have to
start a new one.”

Former Pirates
manager Chuck
Tanner dies at 82
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — Chuck Tanner, the relentlessly upbeat manag-
er who led the “We Are Family” Pittsburgh Pirates in 1979 to one of
the greatest comebacks in World Series history, died Friday after a
long illness. He was 82.
He died at his home in his hometown of New Castle, Pa., where
he had been in hospice care.
“In baseball, we will remember his eternal optimism and his pas-
sion for the game,” Tanner’s son, Bruce, said in a statement.
Renowned for his never-wavering confidence and an inherent
belief that no deficit was too large to overcome, Tanner managed the
White Sox, Athletics, Pirates and Braves to a record of 1,352-1,381
from 1970-88. He won one division title and finished second five
times.
“It’s hard to win a pennant,” Tanner once said, “but it’s harder to
lose one.”
Tanner’s irrepressible faith was tested in the ’79 Series when
Pittsburgh fell behind favored Baltimore 3-1. Facing possible elimi-
nation in Game 5 in Pittsburgh, Tanner awoke to learn his mother
had died in a nursing home in New Castle.
Saying his mother would have wanted him to do his job, Tanner
stayed with his team and took a huge gamble by starting left-hander
Jim Rooker, who had won four games all season, rather than future
Hall of Famer Bert Blyleven. Rooker held the Orioles to one run over
five innings, and the Pirates, led by aging star Willie Stargell, went
on to sweep the final three games.
After retiring from managing, Tanner remained involved with the
Pirates, most recently serving as a senior adviser to general manag-
er Neal Huntington.
Commissioner Bud Selig called Tanner a “lifetime contributor to
baseball.”
“Chuck spent his life serving baseball in a variety of roles,” Selig
said in a statement. “And I am particularly glad that in recent years
he returned to the Pirates, the club with which he will be forever
linked.”

Agents: NFL labor issue ‘a mess’

By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — NFL owners have been heard
on the labor front. So have the players.
What about the agents?
Some say they aren’t expecting much progress
in negotiations between the NFL and the players’
union before the collective bargaining agreement
expires March 3.
“The reason for that date is it’s the end of the
league year,” said Joe Linta, who represents
Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco and three
dozen other players. “Sure, an extension could be
coming. If I still believe in Santa Claus, I still
have hope.”
Linta is among many agents who believe every
other issue will get resolved quickly enough once
the owners and union agree on how to split near-
ly $9 billion in revenues.
The owners get $1 billion off the top for oper-
ating expenses and are seeking an additional $1
billion. The players note how popular the league
is, with record TV ratings, and say they shouldn’t
have to take a pay cut.
“It’s all about money, as it always is,” he said
Friday, “and everything will flow from there once
there’s a macro agreement.”
Ralph Cindrich has been through every labor
dispute between players and owners dating back
to the 1970s and the union’s infancy. While say-
ing of the state of negotiations “it’s fair to call it a
mess,” Cindrich also concludes “it’s too early to
panic” and when both parties want to seriously
negotiate, they will.
“When they come to the time period when
decisions need to be made, that’s when they will
get down to something,” said Cindrich, who rep-
resents Steelers linebacker James Farrior and
Colts center Jeff Saturday among many others.
A key issue is the owners’ intent to include a
rookie wage scale, which Linta calls “way
overblown” and Peter Schaffer, agent for All-Pro
tackle Joe Thomas, says is “scouting insurance
against poor selection decisions.”
The rookie wage scale proposed by the owners
would cover a five-year period. Many players and
their representatives say that translates into a vet-
eran wage scale, too, by limiting earnings for
players whose average career is less than five
years.
Besides, Schaffer says in an e-mail to the
Associated Press, a rookie wage scale would not
really help NFL owners’ spending concerns, and
ond half, as it had 11 more rebounds than did
it would damage college football by causing a
rush of underclassmen turning pro earlier so they
could get to free agency quicker.
“The reality is that the current NFL draft sys-
tem in its entirety is a tremendous economic
windfall to the NFL teams,” Schaffer said, “as it
provides a large source of cheap, young labor to
the league signed for contracts exceeding four
years.
That’s not true for the highest picks in the draft
— Rams quarterback Sam Bradford signed a
deal with $50 million guaranteed as the top selec-
tion last year. But, as Linta mentions, the
extremely lucrative contracts go to a dozen or
fewer rookies.
Devin McCourty, selected 27th overall last
April, received $10 million over five years, which
Schaffer said was not in the top 60 for corner-
backs. McCourty started for New England and
made the Pro Bowl.
Eugene Parker, who has Ndamukong Suh, the
Defensive Rookie of the Year, among his clients,
sees a rookie wage scale as an incentive for
agents to potentially not represent players com-
ing out of college.
“It could be a scenario like basketball where
the salaries are fixed and there really is little nego-
points. She was the only Panther to score in
tiating room for the agent up front,” Parker told
Sirius NFL Radio on Friday, “and if that is the
case you will see more and more agents focusing
on the vet players than on the rookie players.”
Expanding the regular season to 18 games is
negotiable in the view of the dozen agents inter-
viewed by the AP. Each of them cited player safe-
ty and the increased chance for injuries as the
major stumbling block to a longer regular season.
Don Yee, who represents league MVP Tom
Brady, suggested a longer season be accompa-
nied by increased roster size from 53 players to
58, all eligible to play on game day; currently,
only 45 can suit up, plus a third quarterback. He
also would institute a rule that prohibits any play-
er from appearing in more than 16 games.
“This compromise will create even more inter-
est from fans,” Yee said. “What two games will
the head coach sit the starting QB? That’s a dis-
cussion that will set sports talk radio airwaves
afire.
“This compromise will also be popular with
coaches and general managers who want a
greater opportunity to develop younger players.
The NFL doesn’t have a minor league, and this
compromise will force meaningful participation
by younger players on the roster.
with 2:36 left in the half.

killing anyone at the free-throw line,”
Gennaro-Trimble said.
Dito and Kubo did most of the damage at
the line, making 16 of 19. Both scored eight of
their 10 points at the line.
“When we have a lane and are able to drive
(to the basket), we’re going to go,” Dito said.
“Don’t let the defense set up.”
The Dons also did an excellent job on the
boards, out-rebounding the Panthers 41-30.
Aragon was especially aggressive in the sec-
the Panthers.
“Our posts got rebounds,” Dito said. “They
did what they needed to do inside.”
The Aragon perimeter wasn’t too shabby in
the rebounding department either. Kubo
pulled down a game-high eight rebounds,
while Dito added seven.
When Kubo and Dito weren’t burning the
Panthers at the free-throw line, Corie Stocker
was killing them with her jumper. A spot-up
shooter, the Dons would swing the ball around
until they could get Stocker open at the free-
throw line or the elbow, where she was almost
automatic. Stocker finished with a game-high
16 points.
Burlingame was led by Lauren Rally’s 10
double figures. Kyla Montgomery and Dana
Michaels both had six for Burlingame.
Aragon started the game with a 9-0 run and
never trailed. Burlingame didn’t get on the
scoreboard until over three minutes were off
the clock when Michaels made a pair of free
throws.
Those initial points sparked a 6-2 run as the
Panthers closed to 11-6, but Aragon got a
Stocker jumper and two Kubo free throws in
the final minute to take a 15-6 lead after one
quarter.
The Dons led by 11, 17-6, when Stocker
opened the second quarter with a jumper. But
with Aragon leading 18-9, the Panthers went
on a 6-0 run to cut their deficit to three, 18-15,
Once again, the Dons responded by closing
the second quarter with a 7-2 run to take a 25-
17 lead at halftime.
The halftime break really took the steam out
of both teams as they combined for a 10-point
third quarter. In the fourth, the Panthers could
get no closer than seven points as Aragon iced
the game from — where else? — the free-
throw line.
Despite the lack of success in the win-loss
column, Gennaro-Trimble said this team was
one of the best she’s ever coached.
“They never did (get down emotionally),”
Gennaro-Trimble said. “Record-wise, it’s
been difficult. Coaching-wise, its been one of
my hardest working teams.”

Marino opens big lead at Pebble Tiger

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
in
contention
PEBBLE BEACH — Steve Marino is too busy
soaking in the scenery and atmosphere at the
Pebble Beach National Pro-Am to get worked up
over his four-shot lead going into the weekend.
Marino made only one mistake — with his con-
versation and his clubs — on the par-5 14th for his
only bogey of the tournament. He followed with
three birdies over the last four holes for a 7-under
66 and a comfortable lead.
“This tournament is kind of strange,” said
Marino, who was at 13-under 141. “You play a
different course every day. You’re playing with
amateur partners. It’s a little more low key and laid
back.”
That’s just the way Marino likes it, and it shows.
He has the low round of the tournament on both
courses he has played, having opened with a 65 at
Spyglass Hill.
D.A. Points doesn’t have that luxury, not with
Bill Murray as his amateur partner. Points strug-
gled from the start at Spyglass Hill and was slip-
ping down the leaderboard until running off four
birdies in a five-hole stretch around the turn. He
salvaged a 70 and was four shots behind at 9-under
par.
Points worried for a moment that Murray start-
ed to feel the pressure — they opened the pro-am
portion tied for the lead — and perhaps tried to
tone down his antics.
“Bill was struggling a little today, so he was
maybe down on himself,” Points said. “We still
had a great time.”
Next up for the celebrity rotation is Pebble
Beach on Saturday, when the show is as much
about the amateurs as the pros. Points says he
plays his best when there are plenty of distractions,
although he’s not about to wish for more than he
can handle.
“I’m not going to feed the beast,” he said.
Keegan Bradley had an impressive gallery of his
own. He is the nephew of LPGA Hall of Famer
Pat Bradley, who followed him along Spyglass as
the rookie shot a 69 to finish at 8-under par.
Bradley was born in 1986, the year his famous
aunt won three of four majors.
The large group at 7-under par included Padraig
Harrington, who played with Marino; Hunter
Mahan, Nick Watney and Sam Saunders, whose
grandfather is Arnold Palmer.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Strong off
the tee and hitting his shots with exquisite con-
trol, Tiger Woods seemed like his old self.
He turned in the day’s best score with a bogey-
free 6-under 66 Friday to surge into contention
at the Dubai Desert Classic. The round put him
four strokes behind leader Rory McIlroy and
gave him every reason to believe he can for the
first time in more than a year.
Woods was part of a powerhouse group that
included top-ranked Lee Westwood and second-
ranked Martin Kaymer. But on this day, Woods
played as if he were unquestionably No. 1 again.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones couldn’t afford enough nuts and
bolts to make sure everybody who bought a ticket to last
week’s Super Bowl actually had a working seat.
The players are essentially arguing for the status quo, and
with flawless logic. The league has never been more popular,
and everyone is already making money hand over fist. But in
case logic doesn’t prevail, the players’ association has already
hedged its bets by filing several legal challenges and laying
the groundwork to unveil the nuclear option — decertifying
the union and mounting an antitrust lawsuit.
There’s nothing wrong with making preparations, of
course, The owners have already established a slush fund and
have access to enough in TV rights fees to black out an entire
season and more. What’s insulting, on the other hand, are the
pleas for public sympathy from both sides, who’ve cast them-
selves as almost-regular Joes.

money. Several players used their podiums at the Super Bowl
to note that a lockout would mean they’d have to go out and
get health insurance on their own.
It would be tempting, especially in these uncertain times,
to believe their problems and concerns are similar to ours.
But given the multiples involved, they’re not even close.
When he owned the Cleveland Browns, Art Modell defined
the NFL’s success this way: “We’re ... Republicans who vote
socialist.” What he meant is that by sharing the biggest rev-
enue sources the league ensured the competitiveness and via-
bility of every franchise. That parity, along with labor peace,
enabled the NFL to kick every other pro sport in North
America to the side of the road in a breakneck dash to pros-
perity.

pleas of protesters. After Mubarak’s fall, the
military, which pledged to shepherd reforms
for greater democracy, told the nation it would
announce the next steps soon. Those could
include the dissolving of parliament and cre-
ation of a transitional government.
Mubarak’s downfall at the hands of the
biggest popular uprising in the modern history
of the Arab world had stunning implications
for the United States and the West, Israel, and
the region, unsettling rulers across the
Mideast.
The 82-year-old leader epitomized the com-

at its Feb. 9 meeting and is now awaiting
approval from the two parties. As proposed,

LOCAL/WORLD
plex trade-off the United States was locked
into in the Middle East for decades: Support
for autocratic leaders in return for stability, a
bulwark against Islamic militants, a safeguard
of economic interests with the oil-rich Gulf
states and peace — or at least an effort at peace
— with Israel.
The question for Washington now was
whether that same arrangement will hold as
the Arab world’s most populous state makes a
potentially rocky transition to democracy, with
no guarantee of the results.
At the White House, President Barack
Obama said “Egyptians have inspired us.” He
noted the important questions that lay ahead,
but said, “I’m confident the people of Egypt
can find the answers.”
The United States at times seemed over-
whelmed during the upheaval, fumbling to
ing for change,” President Obama said in a
speech at Northern Michigan University on
Thursday.
“It’s young people who have been at the
forefront,” Obama said. “A new generation,
your generation, who want their voices to be
heard.”
Saba Mahmood, a professor of anthropolo-
gy at UC Berkeley, said the protests and res-
ignation of Mubarak is the biggest event in the
through Sept. 24, 2018 and receive a cash pay-
ment of $151,859 from the Belmont Fire
Protection Department.
The net cost to the city to obtain the seven
vehicles will be $48,779 over the life of the
loan debt.
Among the assets to split is one vehicle
acquired after the two cities agreed to dissolve
their relationship.
In January, the department received a
Federal Emergency Management Agency
grant up to $750,000 plus tax for a new trac-
tor drawn aerial fire truck. In February, the
department bought the truck for $1.072 mil-
juggle its advocacy of democracy and the right
to protest, its loyalty to longtime ally Mubarak
and its fears the fundamentalist Muslim
Brotherhood — or more radical groups —
could gain a foothold. Mubarak’s fall came 32
years to the day after the collapse of the shah’s
government in Iran, the prime example of a
revolution that turned to Islamic militancy.
In Egypt, persecuted democracy activists
frequently denounced the U.S. government for
not coming down harder on Mubarak’s rights
abuses. Washington’s mixed messages during
the crisis frustrated the young protesters. They
argued that while the powerful Brotherhood
will have to be allowed to play a future politi-
cal role, its popularity would be diminished in
an open system where other ideologies are
freed to outweigh it.
Neighboring Israel watched with the crisis
Middle East in the past 60 years.
“This uprising is going to be felt in every
single country in the region,” Mahmood said.
“There is a huge concern whether there will
be a transition to a true democratic process.”
Hisham Ahmed, a politics professor at Saint
Mary’s College of California, said the move-
ment in Egypt and in surrounding Arab coun-
tries is irreversible and signifies the beginning
of a revolutionary change.

to 45 days.
If the cities sign off on the distribution plan,
the Belmont Fire Protection District will take
the truck’s title and be responsible for buying
it with two semi-annual payments per year
over a 10-year period.
The distribution plan also calls for Belmont
to receive three pumper engines, two ladder
trucks and four light utility vehicles along
with any debt obligations associated with
each.
Two other light utility vehicles will be
deemed surplus.

with unease, worried that their 1979 peace
treaty could be in danger. It quickly demanded
on Friday that post-Mubarak Egypt continue to
adhere to it.
Any break seems unlikely in the near term.
The military leadership supports the treaty.
Anti-Israeli feeling is strong among Egyptians,
and a more democratic government may take a
tougher line toward Israel in the chronically
broken-down peace process. But few call for
outright abrogating a treaty that has kept peace
after three wars in the past half-century.
From the oil-rich Gulf states in the east to
Morocco in the west, regimes both pro- and
anti-U.S. could not help but worry they could
see a similar upheaval. Several of the region’s
rulers have made pre-emptive gestures of dem-
ocratic reform to avert their own protest move-
ments.
Ahmed said that the Obama administration
must be vocal in its support for the Egyptian
people.
“It’s a delicate situation for the Obama
administration, but these are historic times.
These are serious times,” Ahmed said. “I hope
the administration won’t be making the mis-
take of sending a message to the Egyptians
that their friendship with a dictator is more
important than the welfare of the people.”
Once the two city councils approve the plan,
it will come back before the fire board for for-
mal adoption in March.
The Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department
will dissolve Oct. 18. The city of Belmont has
indicated interest in building a stand-alone
department while the city of San Carlos is cur-
rently seeking service proposals from other
entities including Redwood City and San
Mateo County which contracts with Cal Fire.

Bieber dreamy in 3-D
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Part biopic, part concert film and
all crowd pleaser, “Justin Bieber:
Never Say Never” is a big, glossy
celebration of the musical phenom
that knows exactly what it needs to
do to send its target audience of
’tween girls into a tizzy of giddy
screams.
That includes an unusually effec-
tive use of 3-D from director Jon M.
Chu (“Step Up 3D”), so get ready
for plenty of shots of Bieber looking
longingly into the camera, reaching
out to grab your hand while singing
one of his infectious pop tunes.
(And parents, get ready for tempo-
rary hearing loss.)
Bieber would be an easy target for
anyone who’s graduated from junior
high school: He’s 16, smooth and
pretty, with an androgynous look
that recalls Hilary Swank in “Boys
Don’t Cry” and a playful, non-
threatening way about him. And that
hair ... that famous mane that flips
back and forth and always lands just
right in a soft, feathered swoop.
(What he wears on top of his head
— an ever-present New York
Yankees cap in his favorite color,
purple — is more troubling. Given
his ubiquity and influence, he could
be molding an entire generation of
Bieber on the cover? Are
you MAD? Yes,yes we are!
By Matt Moore
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — There is no
doubt that Justin Bieber is every-
where.
From the latest Best Buy Super
Bowl ad with Ozzy Osbourne to the
film “Justin Bieber: Never Say
Never” to hit singles online, on the
air and everywhere else, the so-
called Beliebers have elevated the
mop-topped Canadian to dizzying
heights of stardom.
Now, he’s about to come back to
Earth: MAD magazine’s longtime
public face, Alfred E. Neuman —
with his big ears and goofy grin —
sports a Bieberesque bowl of hair on
‘Going on 13’
Join directors Kristy Guevara-Flanagan
and Dawn Valadez Saturday for a
screening and discussion of their award
winning film “Going on 13.”In
researching the film, the directors met
with hundreds of fourth grade students
in Bay Area schools with populations
diverse across race, ethnicity and class -
the faces of a new urban America. From
these classrooms they found distinct
archetypes — the tomboy, the girl with a
perpetual crush, the student who would
never dream of defying authority and the
unsuspecting young Yankee fans.
And that would be bad.)
But as Chu’s film reveals through
home movies from Bieber’s small
Canadian town of Stratford,
Ontario, early YouTube clips and
interviews with the people who dis-
covered him, he’s preternaturally
gifted, freakishly poised and inces-
santly hardworking. From the sense
of rhythm he displayed at age 2 to
his confident busking outside a the-
ater at age 12 to the chutzpah he
showed in approaching his eventual
mentor, Usher, and offering to sing
for him just a couple years ago,
Bieber has always seemed fear-
less, yet somehow grounded.
He couldn’t be more contem-
porary, having built a grass-
roots support system through
social networks, and yet he has
that old-fashioned thing called
moxie. And he genuinely
seems like a good kid — it’s
hard not to like him.
Sure, “Never Say Never”
plays like an extended
infomercial for Bieber, similar
to recent 3-D movies about
Miley Cyrus and the Jonas
Bros. We get no sense of who
Bieber really is, whether he has
any fears, if he gets sick of tour-

headlines: Justin Bieber. “HIS STU-
PID HAIR!” “HIS DUMB BOOK!”
“HIS TERRIBLE MOVIE!” “HIS

Bieber has already been on the
cover of Vanity Fair, certainly no
easy accomplishment.
“That was probably the highlight
of his career and being on the cover
of MAD is the lowlight,” John
Ficarra, editor-in-chief of MAD,
said with a laugh and, just maybe,
a snort.

Parenting
spectrum
By Philip Dimaano
T
here exists no definitive or universal-
ly agreeable method of raising one’s
children. Everything from beliefs to
influences and forms of punishment varies
greatly from parent to
parent. The parenting
style exhibited by Amy
Chua is brought to light
in her novel “Battle
Hymn of the Tiger
Mother,” a controversial
read that chronicles the
strict upbringing of
daughters Sophia and
Louisa in a way that epitomizes the stark
cultural divide between East and West.
The Yale law professor laid out the
restrictions on her children from day
one, a few of them being the
inability to watch television, get
any grade less than an A in any
class except gym and drama
and play any other instrument
besides piano or violin.
Though she uses the term
“Chinese mother” loosely, it
refers to those parents who share
the same mindset that the mark of
successful parenting is through the
academic achievement of their
children.
In her novel, Chua describes
three key beliefs that can best
attribute to her parenting methodol-
ogy and that of parents like her. First,
Chinese parents are not concerned with their
children’s psyches in the same way that
Western parents are and will not tolerate sub-
standard performance in their endeavors.
Second, children are obligated to spend their
lives repaying their parents through unequiv-
ocal obedience in order to make them proud.
Lastly, Chinese parents inherently believe
that they know what is best for their offspring
even if it means overriding their own desires
and preferences.
“That kind of parenting definitely has a
negative connotation,” said Aragon High
School junior Nicholas Tom. “It brings to
mind phrases like ‘overly strict,’ ‘overbear-
ing’ and ‘excessively limiting’ to the kid.”
“When I was little I was not allowed to go
to sleepovers, but I was allowed to host
them,” said Aragon High School junior
Jaclyn Lai. “I still know some people who
have to practice several hours of piano every
day.”
The results of such an upbringing are cer-
tainly undeniable. For many years, the Asian
stereotype has been associated with superb
academic performance, mastery of the per-
forming and visual arts and only the most
prestigious of occupations. Many still attrib-
ute this image to a form of child rearing that

Five most inappropriate Valentine’s Day movies
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Anyone can
run out and rent a romantic comedy
starring Julia Roberts for
Valentine’s Day. Anyone can stream
the latest innocuous offering from
Drew Barrymore — or Jennifer
Aniston, or Kate Hudson.
But it requires real guts to sit
down with that special fellow or
lady in your life and take in one of
these massively uncomfortable
choices. So here, without any need-
less flowery language, are the five
most inappropriate movies to watch
with someone you love on
Valentine’s Day:
“Who’s Afraid of
Virginia Woolf?” (1966):
Richard Burton and Elizabeth
Taylor chew up the scenery and tear
each other apart as the boozy and
bickering husband and wife George
and Martha. In adapting Edward
Albee’s painfully honest play, direc-
tor Mike Nichols burst onto the
scene with this, his first feature
(“The Graduate” came the follow-
ing year). He gets up close and per-
sonal to provide an intimate view of
WEEKEND JOURNAL
the carnage. Burton and Taylor start
out slyly needling each other in
front of their poor, unsuspecting
guests, then humiliating each other,
and by the end, they’re threatening
all-out war. That they were married
to each other in real life — for the
first time — only added to the
intrigue. Nominated for 13
Academy Awards, it won five,
including best actress for Taylor’s
scathing performance.
“Closer” (2004):
Another from Nichols, this time
adapting a London stage production
by playwright-screenwriter Patrick
Marber. But it’s reminiscent of
“Virginia Woolf” for its intense per-
formances and raw emotions. Jude
Law, Natalie Portman, Clive Owen
and, yes, Julia Roberts fall giddily
in love with each other, but don’t be
fooled: This is the furthest thing
possible from a date movie. These
inordinately beautiful people do
extraordinarily ugly things to one
another — Portman, playing a strip-
per in her first truly grown-up role,
commits some of her offenses in lit-
tle more than a G-string — and the
way they destroy each other and
themselves is both brutal and
breathtaking to watch.
“Blue Velvet” (1986):
Nothing is ever what it seems in a
David Lynch movie, and that cer-
tainly applies to love, as well. So a
severed ear found lying in a field is
so much more than just a severed
ear — it’s the key to a disturbing,
underground world of twisted
romance. Beneath a veneer of gen-
teel suburbia, Kyle MacLachlan
gets sucked into the bizarre lives of
Dennis Hopper as a nitrous oxide-
addicted criminal, and Isabella
Rossellini as his masochistic sexual
slave. Voyeurism and depravity, Roy
Orbison and Pabst Blue Ribbon all
collide hypnotically here. Lynch
alternates between glib satire and a
much darker, starker exploration of
secret fears and desires.
“Natural Born Killers” (1994):
Woody Harrelson and Juliette
Lewis fall in love and kill people,
and fall deeper in love and kill more
people, and become media darlings
in the process. It’s sort of romantic
... in its own way. Oliver Stone isn’t
exactly subtle in his satirical explo-
ration of underserved fame and all
its trappings; as is his tendency, he
THE DAILY JOURNAL
throws everything at us, from vari-
ous film stocks and frenetic camera
angles to an editing style that sug-
gests he cut the film in a Cuisinart.
But he was onto something back
then, and the thirst for juicy scandal
continues to go unquenched, no
matter how questionable a person’s
actions are.
“Fatal Attraction” (1987):
It’s long since become a short-
hand for stalking — for crazy,
clingy women who are too delusion-
al to take “no” for an answer. All
you have to do is mention boiling a
bunny and everyone knows what
you’re talking about. But back in its
day, believe it or not, people actual-
ly took this movie seriously as a
suspenseful thriller.
It was nominated for six Academy
Awards, including best picture and
best actress for Glenn Close’s
indelible performance as a spurned,
vengeful mistress. If director Adrian
Lyne’s sleek, steamy film has taught
us anything, it’s that it is so much
easier to stick with your husband or
wife than indulge in an afternoon
tryst. So maybe this is a good movie
to see with the one you love after
all.

WHAT IS IT?:
The Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz is a classic
roadside attraction famously touted as a place
where nature and gravity have gotten off track.
The perceived anomalies of this wooded hill-
side delight hundreds of people a day who are
willing, even eager, to suspend disbelief and
happily engage in the debate about why balls
roll up hill and a pendulum hangs at an angle.
Entertaining guides offer various explanations
for the peculiarities of The Mystery Spot, from
the scientific (a hole in the ozone layer directly
above) to the extra-terrestrial (an alien space-
ship buried directly below), but the fun is going
along with the joke and getting a photo of your-
self leaning at an impossibly odd angle. What’s
really going on? Well, as one guide put it, “If we
knew for sure what was happening, we would
call it The Solved Spot.”
WHO’S IT FOR?:
This outing is suitable for all ages although
the steep, if short, ascent to the heart of “The
Spot” requires some stamina.
THINGS TO KNOW:
The Mystery Spot is located at 465 Mystery
Spot Road, Santa Cruz. Visitors are shown
through in guided groups departing every 30
minutes. The steep and uneven path is paved but
requires good walking shoes and some of the
features of The Mystery Spot may cause dizzi-
ness. The area can be cool, even in the summer,
so take a sweater. A camera is a must. There are
a gift shop and snack bar on site. $5 per person
admission. $5 per car parking. Reservations
may be made and are advisable to ensure entry
on weekends and during the summer. Visa,
MasterCard or Discover Card are accepted for

The Winchester Mystery House, once the
personal residence of Sarah Winchester, the
widow of gun magnate William Winchester,
was under construction around the clock, with-
out interruption, from 1884 until her death on
Sept. 5, 1922, at which time work immediately
ceased. According to popular belief, Winchester
thought the house was haunted by the ghosts of
individuals killed by Winchester rifles, and that
only continuous construction would appease
them. The Queen Anne Style Victorian man-
sion, renowned for its size and utter lack of any
master building plan, contains 160 rooms,
10,000 windows, 950 doors, 52 skylights, 47
fireplaces, 40 bedrooms, 40 staircases, 17 chim-
neys, three elevators, two ballrooms and two
basements. One-hundred and ten of the rooms
are open to the public. The Winchester Mystery
House is located at 525 S. Winchester Blvd.,

Pacific Americans are more likely to commit
suicide than the average American, according
to an article in the Pacific Citizen, a website
for Asian American news.
“Community practitioners notice that
Asian Americans are less likely to self-dis-
close their personal problems,” Stanley Sue,
a professor of psychology and Asian
American studies at UC Davis, said in an
Aug. 19 Time Magazine article “A Family
Suicide Risk in U.S. Asians?” by Hilary
Hylton
The real desire to succeed in any aspect of
and hugging actually gets repetitive, and
“Never Say Never” probably could have
been about 15 minutes shorter. But whether
you grew up worshipping Paul McCartney
or Shaun Cassidy, Michael Jackson or Justin
Timberlake, you’ll relate.
And Bieber — who may or may not have
had any actual romantic contact with a girl,
ever, as far as this film is concerned — at
least knows how to make the girls feel spe-
cial when mingling among them. During a
particular song at each concert, members of
his “team” pluck one lucky gal from the
within the pages, too.
“We like to do what we call Zeitgeist cov-
ers. When we found that his movie was debut-
ing just about the same time we would be
coming with the issue,” it all fell into place,
Ficarra said. “We knew he’d be all over the
place.”
The issue is bound to be a best-seller with
Bieber on the cover, Ficarra said.
“He’ll hate it and buy every copy,” he said,
“and it will be a sellout. Or, conversely,

Regardless, Ficarra said the magazine, pub-
lished by DC Comics, is ready for the
onslaught of reaction from Bieber’s so-named
Beliebers — the fans who buy his CDs, down-
load his singles and scream with joy at his
every appearance.
“Every time we put one of these young teen
stars on the covers — this goes back to New
Kids on the Block — we do get a ton of mail
from prepubescent girls,” he said. “The weird
thing is I happened to be looking through old
issues and we did a piece on Elvis, too.”
At the time, the magazine was inundated by
letters from Elvis fans decrying the satire. “So
that must be hardwired into the DNA of pre-
pubescent girls. When somebody attacks, they
do the same,” he said.
As for Bieber’s reaction to the cover, he did
not immediately answer e-mail requests from
The Associated Press for comment.
The move to have a Bieber cover is part of
MAD’s efforts to remain contemporary in a
rapidly changing world where humor and
satire abounds on YouTube, the Onion, “The
Daily Show With Jon Stewart” and elsewhere.

and said the biggest changes that have taken
place have been the decision to run advertis-

magazine caught heat for taking ads, Ficarra
said doing so allowed it to be published in
color throughout the issue.
“The magazine has changed quite a bit. We
take ads, which was a trade-off for the color,”
Ficarra said of the magazine that was first
published in 1952 by Entertaining Comics.
“Certainly the humor has been ramped up as
society has been ramped up. MAD just
reflects the signs of the times.”
But old standards remain just that, too,
including cartoonist Al Jaffee’s trademark

“Al still does the folds for us,” Ficarra said,

Looking ahead, Ficarra said the magazine
has no dearth of subjects ripe for poking fun
about. “It’s a great time because there’re so
many whack jobs for us to go after,” he said.
“The lunatic fringe is alive and well from the
right to the left. There’s never a shortage of

THE DAILY JOURNAL
FIRE
Continued from page 1
What Klein and Mayor Omar Ahmad
are concerned about is not being excluded
from a regional approach — that city is
among the five evaluated along with San
Mateo, Redwood City, Foster City and
Belmont — but that county supervisors
will ignore them while focusing on the
bigger picture.
San Carlos is trying to outsource its fire
department to close its own deficit, much
as it has already done with police, parks
maintenance and human resources pay-
roll. Fire service for the joint department
with Belmont costs $6.3 million and,
when that city declined to tweak the fund-
ing formula, San Carlos opted to walk
away.
In January, Klein and Ahmad hoped a
county supervisor subcommittee would
approve Cal Fire preparing a detailed
service proposal for them to consider.
Instead, supervisors Carole Groom and
Adrienne Tissier wanted more informa-
tion about how the county and several
cities could save money by banding
together.
In a report by Deputy County Manager
Peggy Jensen, Cal Fire estimates spending
$25.4 million to cover all 18 stations in the
cities and unincorporated county in a plan
that calls for closing one redundant station
and converting an engine to a two-person
vehicle.
Currently, the cost of all 18 stations is
$42.2 million.
That pencils out to $17 million in sav-
ings — a number that Ahmad called con-
servative but said left him looking for a
way to pull his jaw off the floor.
How much each member agency would
save isn’t as clear, particularly for the
county which itself is looking to cut fire
costs by more than $200,000 in fiscal year
2011-12.
The preliminary county proposal
included several options that could save
the county $650,000 and keep $3.8 mil-
lion to $5.7 million in San Carlos coffers
annually.
The idea of saving even more for San
Carlos and the greater region is “almost
faint-inducing in a time when money is so
scarce,” Klein said.
What is also scarce is time.
The complexity of putting together such
a model, though, could take an estimated
year or longer, Jensen wrote in her report.
The question now for the supervisorial
subcommittee at its Tuesday meeting is
two-fold: Do they want to pursue a truly
regional approach to fire service? And,

Titled “Make Love Whenever Possible
When Married with Children,” the book
offers 50 practical tips about reprioritiz-
ing time. The book has expanded to a
website for women to share thoughts,
frustrations and tips.
Megan Parker, coordinator of the
Burlingame Mothers’ Club Speakers
Series, was intrigued by Kaplan’s and
Melnik’s message of working together to
keep intimacy alive. She noted a mother
recently anonymously posted about the
loss of her libido — something she felt
was odd. Instead, women rallied around
her.
“So many marriages focus on the kids.
You go out and talk about the kids,” she
said, rather than each other.
Much like a new little one needs love,
your relationship constantly needs tend-
ing, said Melnik.
That’s when they decided to create a
boot camp.
“That’s what we advocate, daily or
weekly [intimate acts]. We do advocate
that and to help couples get back in that
habit. Date very regularly, not just
enough; even girlfriends spend time
together to stay connected. Any relation-
ship requires that,” said Kaplan.
WEEKEND JOURNAL
what to do about San Carlos’ request in
the meantime?
“What we want is a detailed proposal so
we can actually start the process,” Ahmad
said.
The city extended its proposal deadline
to April 1 and officials say they need time
for presentations and consideration before
picking an agreement.
Although the city needs service in the
immediate future, that shouldn’t exclude it
from other talks, Ahmad said.
“Without hesitation, if there are legiti-
mate talks about regionalization San
Carlos absolutely wants to be a full part-
ner. But it’s going to take time,” Ahmad
said.
Supervisor Adrienne Tissier isn’t sure,
though, that the answer is giving San
Carlos an interim contract proposal while
working on a bigger model.
“If we’re going to start on a regional
approach, we may not want to cherry pick
one city at a time,” she said.
A third option is asking Belmont and
San Carlos to extend their JPA agreement
six months or so to give the county more
time to act, she said.
“This came to us because of two cities
who can’t work together,” Tissier said.
“They put us in this position to make a
quick decision because they put them-
selves in this position.”
The contract can’t legally be extended,
said San Carlos Assistant City Manager
Brian Moura, who said the Fire Board
attorney answered that exact question at
the last meeting.
Besides, he said, the JPA will be out of
money in October when the contract ends.
Another piece of information Tissier is
awaiting is for a regional model without
Cal Fire. San Mateo Fire Chief Dan
Belville, who also manages Foster City’s
fire department, has numbers penciled out
but isn’t disclosing them until the city
managers of the involved cities have a
chance to look at them.
Belville concedes being a little hazy
Keep love alive
Love exercises to keep the intimacy
alive from best friends Leslie Kaplan
and Peg Melnik,authors of “Make
Love Whenever Possible When
Married with Children.”
• French kiss your partner daily;
• Lovingly touch your mate daily,
even if it’s just holding hands,
shoulders,a hug,some form of
human contact;
• Go on a weekly date night no
matter how difficult it is to set up,
even if it’s only for 42 minutes;
• Talk,face to face,with your partner
daily about each other,not the kids,
house or money; and
• Try to have sex weekly.
Both women talked about getting to
rough spots in marriages and deciding to
make it work through dedication and
hard work. Things like making weekly
plans to make love, talking face to face
for 15 minutes about each other and not
just the kids, and recognizing the other
person. Date each other, said Kaplan,
who noted she didn’t think she’d need to
date her husband once they were mar-
ried.
Daily affection also goes a long way,
the women said.
Sexual favors can also go a long way,
said Kaplan. She’s enjoyed having a
after the last meeting on what exactly the
supervisors wanted. He came to tell them
about Redwood City and San Mateo’s
joint plan to approach Belmont and San
Carlos regarding service with the idea of a
future merger of all.
He left with a request for numbers with-
in 30 days — “an unrealistic timeline,” he
said — on establishing a regional depart-
ment and hearing the supervisors ask Cal
Fire for the same thing.
“We started a regional discussion on fire
but it certainly didn’t start off that way,” he
said.
In the time since, the Belmont City
Council has definitely said it wants a
stand-alone department despite the $8
million price tag and Belville said the
city’s absence would skew estimates. San
Carlos officials have began vetting a pro-
posal by Redwood City which Klein said
has some areas of concern such as bind-
ing arbitration and the lack of a hazmat
unit.
Local firefighters union 2400, which
fought the JPA dissolution, is supporting
the Redwood City proposal in large part
because Cal Fire brings with it a longer
work week for less pay — essentially the
key to much of the possible savings.
In an interesting twist, president Ed
Hawkins sent a letter to Bob Wolf, presi-
dent of Cal Fire local 2881, saying they
support the state agency retaining its con-
tract with San Mateo County. Hawkins
does not specifically mention Belville’s
anticipated report but does write that vari-
ous issues might lead to local fire chiefs
proposing the county eliminate Cal Fire
firefighters at stations 17 and 18.
Hawkins offers in the Feb. 7 letter to
“use local resources to help you if you
need us.”
Hawkins did not respond to an inquiry
for comment.
The union’s involvement has long ran-
kled San Carlos officials who believe that
killed Cal Fire’s plan last fall to submit a
proposal directly. Ahmad believes contin-
ual requests for more delays in the process
is another “standard tactic.”
“I don’t begrudge what the unions are
doing because they’re fighting for their
firefighters. But I’m fighting for my city,”
Ahmad said.
If the county doesn’t give the city an
answer soon, it may leave San Carlos with
no other choice than setting up its own
department, Klein said.
“But the only way we can afford it is to
completely gut pensions and salaries,” he
said. “Is that really what anybody wants?”

tee meets 2 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 15 in the
Board Conference Room, 400 County

clean kitchen as a result.
“I figure his job took an hour and a
half. Mine took six minutes,” she said
with a laugh.
Have dates that involve physical activ-
ity like dancing, hiking or taking a nice
walk.
Melnik and her husband “exchange
vows” when they visit different coun-
tries. Alone, they’ll go to different
places, take off their rings and renew
their love. It’s not legal, but it’s some-
thing that makes them happy.
Basically, it’s about mind-set.
Women in attendance admitted not all
ideas were new, but it is a reminder that
effort needs to be made more often.
Slavka, who is a mother of a young
baby and married for 11 years, described
the event as giving her more energy to
go home and use the plan.
Her friend, Birte, also a new mom who
has been married for 10 years, added,
everything is scheduled — baby, dinner,
gym time. It makes sense for love to also
be penciled into the calendar, she said.

Saturday, Feb. 12, 2011
Certain confidential information you become privy to could
play a significant role in bettering your affairs in the year
ahead. Keep your eyes and ears open, because what you
learn could be momentous in furthering your ambitions.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Even if you’re not in the
mood to socialize, as the day wears on, there is a good
chance you’ll change your mind. Some kind of social involve-
ment might become meaningful to you later on.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Family and friends might
have a difficult time trying to keep something secret from you.
The urge to investigate is likely to be too powerful to ignore,
and your nose will sniff it out.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - This could be an especially
fun day for you if you spend your free time with friends who
share similar interests. Limit your pals to those who think
like you do.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - The financial return from a
commercial endeavor might not mean as much to you as the
pride of accomplishment. It is likely to supersede anything
profit can offer.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Those you consider to be your
peers in your field of endeavor will be the ones who’ll put the
most significance on your thinking and/or ideas. One you least
expect will follow you to the letter.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Keep any project or idea you
have going to yourself when out in public with friends. There
is a possibility someone nearby who is listening knows your
competition and would tell all.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Something of substance can come
from a conversation you’ll have with a person who possesses
knowledge you could use to further a dream of yours. Be
prepared to take notes.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Sometimes it pays to act in
harmony with your hunches, and today might be one of those
times, especially if it is career-related. Your idea has every
chance of working.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - It’s a good thing you kept the
lines of communications open with a good friend because
there’s a chance you might hear from him/her about some-
thing that could be worth a lot to you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Several solutions can be
found when you take the time to focus on a domestic problem
you’ve been trying to resolve. Try them all, you’ll find out
which one would work best.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - There is a good
chance something far more interesting than what you already
have planned could become an option. If you keep your plans
flexible, you’ll be able to choose.
Previous
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - If something gets bro-
ken, see if you can repair it before simply throwing it out.
Sudoku
You’ll feel good about yourself when you find little ways to
economize.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Juanita Gutierrez aka Juana Gutierrez
aka Juanita Elisa Gutierrez aka Juani-
ta Garay
Case Number 120819
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Juanita Gutierrez aka
Juana Gutierrez aka Juanita Elisa Gutier-
rez aka Juanita Garay. A Petition for Pro-
bate has been filed by: Bernice Rodgers
and Peter Gutierrez in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition of Probate requests that
Bernice Rodgers and Peter Gutierrez be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: February 28, 2011
at 9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center Drive, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Mubarak exit sets off celebrations

By Zeina Karam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Revelers
swept joyously into the streets
across the Middle East on Friday
after Hosni Mubarak stepped down
as Egypt’s president. From Beirut to
Gaza, tens of thousands handed out
candy, set off fireworks and
unleashed celebratory gunfire, and
the governments of Jordan, Iraq and
Sudan sent their blessings.
Even in Israel, which had
watched Egypt’s 18-day uprising
against Mubarak with some trepida-
tion, a former Cabinet minister said
Mubarak did the right thing. “The
street won. There was nothing that
could be done. It’s good that he did
what he did,” former Defense
Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer,
who knew Mubarak well and spoke
to him just a day earlier, told Israel
TV’s Channel 10.
The boisterous street celebrations
erupted within moments of the dra-
matic announcement by Egyptian
Vice President Omar Suleiman that
Mubarak had stepped down. The
success of Egypt’s protesters in
ousting a longtime ruler came less
than a month after a pro-democracy

movement in Tunisia pushed dicta-
tor Zine El Abidine Ben Ali into
exile in Saudi Arabia on Jan. 14.
The breakneck speed of develop-
ments, after decades of authoritari-
an rule in many Arab countries, left
some of those celebrating Friday
wondering where regime change
might come next.
“We are very happy today that we
were able to overcome the dictator
Hosni Mubarak. Tomorrow will be
the turn of the dictators in the entire
Arab world,” said Issam Allawi, an
Egyptian celebrating with dozens
outside the Egyptian Embassy in
Beirut.
Two of Egypt’s neighbors —
Israel and the Palestinians — fol-
lowed the historic moment particu-
larly closely.
Israel’s greatest concern in the
past two weeks has been that its
1979 peace treaty with Egypt might
not survive under a new govern-
ment, particularly if Egypt’s
Muslim Brotherhood — the largest
and most organized opposition
group — gains influence. The
Palestinian offshoot of the REUTERS
Brotherhood, the Islamic militant Opposition protesters celebrate Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak's resignation,from their stronghold of Tahrir
Hamas, seized control of the Gaza Square in Cairo,Egypt.

By Ian Deitch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israel watched
Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak’s resignation with trepida-
tion Friday, concerned the ouster of
its staunchest Arab ally might
endanger a peace treaty between the
two countries and help boost
Islamists already on the rise in the
region.
Israel’s government declined
comment on the announcement by
Vice President Omar Suleiman that
Mubarak decided to step down after
three decades of iron-fisted rule.
The dramatic decision came after
an 18-day popular revolt against the
82-year-old autocrat. The uprising
was led by young secular Egyptians,
with the Muslim Brotherhood,
Egypt’s largest opposition group,
largely remaining in the background.
bration rippled out of Egypt and
washed onto U.S. shores Friday as
Egyptian-Americans looked to a
future of democracy and Arab
unity after the departure of
President Hosni Mubarak and his
three decades of authoritarian rule.
Crowds gathered in New York,
suburban Detroit and the nation’s
capital to mark Egyptians’ success
at toppling a leader after three
weeks of sometimes-violent
protests across Egypt that many
my life, although I’m 10,000 miles
away from my homeland,” said
Ashraf Abdelhalim, 47, on
Manhattan’s Upper East Side near
one of the largest mosques in the
New York area, where at least
60,000 Egyptian-Americans live.
Even while in America, he said,
he felt “the oppression and the
fear” from Mubarak’s reign. “Now
the dictator is gone,” he said.
Sherine El-Abd found herself
sobbing with joy at her home in
Clifton, N.J. A board member of
the Washington-based nonprofit
will “oversee a clean, democratic
election.”
“Listen, if the person with the
thickest skin and the densest brain
in the world — Mubarak — got
the message the military gave him,
the message is loud and clear,” El-
Abd said.
People gathering at the
Lebanese American Heritage Club
in Dearborn, Mich., the heart of
the nation’s largest Arab-
American community, expressed
hopes for a domino effect in the
Arab world.
