Funding quirk shields community colleges from cuts

District will retain more local tax revenue,others forced to take loans
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A change in funding to San Mateo Countys community college district shields it from end-of-theyear state cuts but creates a shortterm cash ow problem for other local districts. School funding in California is
particularly complicated. Districts are funded one of two ways: through student attendance, known as revenue limit, or property tax rates, known as basic aid. Recently, the San Mateo County Community College District became basic aid. As a result, local property tax funds previously split by local revenue limit districts will
go to the college district. Local districts paid by attendance are still owed the same amount. Money to pay those districts will now come from the state rather than local property taxes, however. Californias ongoing budget drama has included constant payment deferrals to school districts. Now bridge loans will be used to cover
the cash-ow issues. Districts can change from one funding classication to the other quite easily although have no power over it. Each year, the state decides a per student funding minimum. If a districts local property tax revenue generates that amount or more, the district becomes basic aid. In recent years, as state educa-
tion funding has been continually cut, the per pupil funding dropped which results in more districts becoming basic aid. Those districts are often not as negatively impacted by state cuts since the funding comes from local sources. The San Mateo County Community College District sees an

SACRAMENTO California Republicans are bracing for what could be a brutal election year, but theyre also looking to the future. With the partys voter registration continuing to fall, Republicans face redrawn electoral districts this year that are likely to further weaken their status in the state Legislature and could lead to less clout in Congress. Even so, the party is aiming to put
on a positive face at its spring convention this weekend in Burlingame, where communicating its principles and reaching out to new Newt Gingrich voters will be the official focus. Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich is scheduled

Unpaid bill from years ago leads to hospice gift
MURRAY, Ky. A Chicago businessman who insisted on paying an unpaid bill dating back some 25 years has instead donated the money to a Kentucky hospital. Zee Enix once ran a home furnishings business in Murray, Ky. He says the man called him and said he wanted to pay a $600 bill he had found. The Paducah Sun reports that Enix told the man who did not want to be identied that he didnt owe anything. But the businessman persisted. So Enix agreed that the man could instead make a charity donation to the Murray-Calloway Endowment for Healthcare, which is working to build a hospice. Keith Travis oversees endowments for the Murray-Calloway County Hospital. He says that the gift stands out as unusual. Travis says $1 million has been raised so far for the hospice. Summers, wearing a tie and carrying a briefcase, claimed he was sent by Dennys corporate ofce Tuesday to be the new manager at the restaurant in Madison. The current manager told him he must have the wrong restaurant. Summers told her she apparently had not received the memo about the change in leadership. Authorities say the manager called her supervisors while Summers helped himself to a meal. WISC-TV says police were summoned and took Summers into custody. Ofcers say they found a stun gun on his belt. Summers is charged with disorderly conduct, drug possession and possessing an electric weapon.
Miami Beach police check Brown phone theft claim

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. Police are investigating a womans claim that singer Chris Brown stole her iPhone outside a South Beach nightclub when she tried to take a picture of him. A police incident report released Thursday says Christal Shanae Spann, 24, and her friends spotted Brown and rapper Tyga leaving the Cameo club early Sunday. Spann told police she saw Brown get into a black Bentley, and she used her phone to take a picture of him sitting in the car. According to the report, Spann claims Brown grabbed her phone and said you aint going to put that on no website, and drove off. Authorities said no charges have been filed. The report listed the potential crime as robbery by sudden snatching, which is a felony. My prosecutors are currently speaking with the witnesses and reviewing all of the materials supplied by Miami Beach police, said Katherine Fernandez Rundle, Miami-Dade Countys chief prosecutor. Only after these reviews have been completed would any type of action be considered or taken. Browns attorney and a spokeswoman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

tainable community and sustainable environmental policy because we have to begin to act as if we want future generations to be able to live on this Earth. Klein made his remarks at the annual state of the city, a chance to sum up Andy Klein where the city has been and where it is headed. Unlike some past years when mayors have had to tackle a ongoing budget deficits and struggles to right economic uncertainty through outsourcing services, Kleins message generally lauded the citys ongoing progress while cautioning against complacency. The city is finally out of a decade-long structural deficit and last year broke up its joint fire department with the city of Belmont in favor of a hybrid system with Redwood City in which they share management. The move was far from controversyfree but Klein last night told the audience gathered at the Hiller Aviation Museum it was worth the struggle and due in large part to the leadership of late mayor Omar Ahmad, former councilman Randy Royce and City Manager Jeff Maltbie. Before launching into a quick explanation of city finances and the history leading up to the outsourcing move, Klein asked the audience to help him thank the two of the three living. Klein also pointed to the future, saying it is time for both San Carlos residents and the city itself to help out with the place they call home. Klein announced an all-city volunteer day April 28 in which everybody can pitch in and spruce up parks, clean up infrastructure and any other projects at hand. Its time to give back. Theres no excuse not to, he said. Klein is in his first full term as mayor but has held the position since last May when Ahmad died unexpectedly of a heart attack. Last night, he followed on the new State of the City format established by Ahmad in 2011, holding the annual address at night with refreshments and giving businesses a chance to showcase themselves prior to the event.

San Carlos should consider becoming a charter city as protection from the long arm of the state which continues to raid local coffers and jeopardize the citys new-found escape from a decade of budget cuts, the mayor suggested during his annual State of the City address. Doing so will go a long way to keep Sacramento out of our pockets, said Mayor Andy Klein. Its time to send them a message and the message is to leave us alone. In a charter city, the government is defined by a charter document rather than state law which can limit the degree of control the state has over it. Klein compared the states elimination of redevelopment agencies to the mobsters in the movie Goodfellas who burned down a restaurant for the insurance money when the owner could no longer pay a weekly cut. The charter suggestion was part of a three prong approach suggested by Klein as a way to build a sustainable budget alongside economic development and reaching out to other communities to consolidate services.

City officials said Wednesday that only 21 employees have lost their jobs, instead of the 80 people who were expected to be laid off. The city initially sent notices to nearly 1,500 full-time and more than 1,000 parttime or temporary employees after saying it did not have the money to pay their salaries when redevelopment funds were cut across California. City officials estimate they lost about $28 million in redevelopment funding, but say they were able to avoid additional layoffs through reorganization, reassignments and eliminating vacant positions.

One in three California school districts are in nancial jeopardy but none are in San Mateo County. The states First Interim Status Report for scal year 2011-12 indicates that 127 districts are either in negative or qualied nancial status, totaling 17 more than at this point last year. Locally, no San Mateo County districts made that list. Combined, nearly 2 million students attend school in a district with serious nancial challenges. The financial emergency facing our schools remains both wide and deep, State Superintendent Tom Torlakson said in a prepared statement. The deep cuts made to school funding and looming uncertainties about the future are driving school districts to the brink of insolvency. Plain and simple, our schools need new revenues to get back on solid nancial ground.

Parolee accused of breaking into lockers at self-storage facility

A Foster City parolee has been arrested on suspicion of burglarizing several units at a self-storage facility in Redwood City, police said. Police were informed at about 10:50 p.m. Saturday that four lockers had been burglarized at Public Storage, located at 1841 E. Bayshore Road. Investigators identied 32-year-old Michael Schoening as a suspect. Schoening, who police said has served two years in prison for residential and commercial burglary, rented a storage unit at the facility, according to investigators. Parole officers conducted a search of Schoenings unit and found property stolen from the burglarized lockers and a small amount of methamphetamine, according to police. He was arrested on suspicion of burglary, possession of methamphetamine and violating parole. Schoening pleaded not guilty to all of the charges on Tuesday, according to the district attorneys ofce. He remains in custody on $50,000 bail and is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on March 5.
SAN FRANCISCO A divided federal appeals court ruled Thursday that California law enforcement ofcials can keep collecting DNA samples from people arrested for felonies. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said law enforcements interest in solving cold cases, identifying crime suspects and even exonerating the wrongly accused outweigh any privacy concerns raised by the forced DNA collections. The 2-1 ruling came in response to a lawsuit led by four Californians who were arrested on felony charges but never convicted. The arrestees sought a court order barring collection of DNA from people who are arrested but not convicted, arguing the process is an unconstitutional search and seizure since some suspects will later be exonerated. The DNA samples are obtained with a swab of the cheek and stored in the states DNA database, which contains 1.9 million proles. Arrestees who are never charged with a felony can apply to have their samples expunged from the database. The state Department of Justice said it has had roughly 20,000 hits connecting suspects with previous crimes since it began collecting the DNA proles. Judge Mylan Smith Jr., writing for the twojudge majority, said the useful law enforcement tool wasnt any more intrusive than ngerprinting.

A South San Francisco teen already sentenced to a life term on a drug-related robbery and murder received another three years yesterday for a jail house assault committed allegedly with other gangmembers shortly after the jury returned its guilty verdict. Jimmy Nabong, 20, pleaded no contest to felony assault and misdemeanor gang activity after having already been sentenced to 50 years to life last June for shooting Shivnesh Reddy, a 21-year-old mechanic, in the heart during a drug robbery. Nabong must rst serve the three years before beginning the longer term, said prosecutor Josh Stauffer. Although the assault sentence may pale compared to the murder, Stauffer said it is important to prosecute such cases. It sends a message that we dont want individuals to think they have free reign to attack others in the jail, Stauffer said. The conviction will also alert state prison ofcials that Nabong has a histo-
der anyway, Stauffer said. In June, Daniel Rios Macias also pleaded no contest to obstruction of a peace ofcer and participation in a street gang and was sentenced to 16 months prison. Marquez and Michael Elijah Rodriguez have pleaded not guilty and are set for trial April 16. Charges against other suspects in the assault were dismissed at the preliminary hearing. The jail house assault was mentioned during Nabongs sentencing in Reddys death, with the prosecution in the murder case saying it cemented him as the poster boy for life in prison without parole. Still, Judge Craig Parson imposed the sentence pretty reluctantly, noting that Nabong was 17 at the time he killed Reddy on Oct. 29, 2008. Nabongs accomplice in the case, Neil Prakash Chand, testied for the prosecution and received 25 years to life for his role in setting up Reddy to be robbed of $3,000 worth of marijuana. Nabong has been in custody without bail at the jail awaiting sentencing on the assault case. He can now be transported to the state Department of Corrections.

San Carlos ready to ban polystyrene

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After months of consideration and weeks of rening, San Carlos city ofcials are ready to formally introduce a ban on the use of polystyrene food containers. If the City Council pulls the trigger at its Monday night meeting, the proposed ordinance will become effective July 1. This window provides the typical 30-day stretch given any ordinance to take effect plus an extra 90-day transition period for affected businesses to use up their existing stock, nd replacement goods and get up to speed. Such a ban is aimed at minimizing environmental impacts of disposable food ware and also limit trash and litter in the citys streams, creeks, streets and storm drains.
The proposed ordinance mirrors a county ban already in place. Using that template freed the city from the time and expense of crafting its own ordinance, helps keep the county from becoming a patchwork of differing rules and put responsibility for outreach, education and initial enforcement into the hands of the countys environmental health department. A prohibition on polystyrene, better known by the trademark Styrofoam, was identied as a prime objective by the City Council at its strategic retreat last August. Since that point, the city has heard several reports on potential bans and the countys efforts as the council determined rst if it really wanted an ordinance and, if so, whether to go it alone. The councilmembers also wanted input from the business community before making a decision.
A survey mailed out to San Carlos restaurants found that 18 of the 23 favored a ban and six of the nine now using polystyrene also backed the idea. Four of those nine thought they needed 30 to 60 days to transition to new containers while four others wanted at least 90 days if not more. Similar to the proposed ban on polystyrene, the city of San Carlos is also looking at an ordinance outlawing plastic bags. At its last meeting, the City Council agreed to move forward by working with the county on its yet-to-be launched ban rather than crafting a cityspecic ordinance. The council said it also rst wants more information on the possibility of charging for paper bags. The City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 27 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.

SACRAMENTO Two leading California Democrats introduced legislation Thursday that attempts to provide retirement savings for private-sector workers of modest means, creating a government-run program for privatesector workers whose employers do not offer pensions or 401(k) plans. They said it could help an estimated 6.7 million California workers. Sen. Kevin de Leon and Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg introduced SB1234, which would require employers with ve or more workers to enroll them into what they have termed a personal pension program to be run by a state board. Their idea is to get small-business employees and hospitality workers who dont make much money to save more for their retirement. We must take action on the impending retirement tsunami, de Leon, of Los Angeles, said during a news conference in front of the state Treasurers Ofce. We cannot afford the rampant poverty and devastation that awaits us if we continue on our present course. The lawmakers said they believed their program would be the rst in which a state government established a retirement program for workers in the private sector.

Helipcopter crash was one of deadliest for Marines in years

SAN DIEGO A collision that killed seven Marines in one of the Marine Corps deadliest aviation training accidents in years occurred over a sprawling desert range favored by the U.S. military because its craggy mountains and hot, dusty conditions are similar to Afghanistans harsh environment. Officials were scrambling Thursday to determine what caused the AH-1W Cobra and UH-1 Huey to crash during a routine exercise Wednesday night when skies were clear and the weather was mild.

In Michigan, the states Municipal Employees Retirement System began offering retirement services to Indian gaming tribes in 2009 to manage benets for tribal government employees. According to a draft, SB1234 would establish the Golden State Retirement Savings Trust, which would be administered by a sixmember board, including the state treasurer, controller, director of nance and an appointment each by the governor, Senate and Assembly. Private-sector workers would automatically have 3 percent of their earnings set aside in the trust, unless they opted out.

Romney pounces on Santorums Senate compromises

MILFORD, Mich. One day after a feisty debate, Mitt Romney criticized Republican rival Rick Santorum and courted tea party voters Thursday in a pair of primary states separated by nearly 2,000 miles. I appreciate the work youre doing. I appreciate your willingness to get out of your homes, he told an audience of tea party members in suburban Detroit, an appearance designed to let him reach out to a part of the electorate that tends to favor his campaign rivals over him. Romney drew applause when he attacked President Barack Obama as uninformed about the workings of the American economy and called him a man comfortable living with trillion-dollar decits. But he largely sidestepped when asked how he could be able to counter Obama in a debate in the fall campaign if the president brought up similarities between the health care law Romney signed as governor of Massachusetts and the health care overhaul passed by Congress that Republican contenders have vowed to repeal. That was an evident reference to a requirement for individuals to purchase coverage at the heart of both laws but Romneys answer omitted that topic. Instead, he said, The rst thing Id say to him is, You say you copied (the Massachusetts law), how come you didnt give me a call? Id have told you what worked what did not work. He added that the federal law was too expensive, raised taxes and cut $500 billion from Medicare over a decade. Romney threw a glancing blow at Santorum, recalling that the former Mitt Romney Pennsylvania senator had said in a debate in Mesa, Ariz., on Wednesday night that he had voted for President George W. Bushs No Child Left Behind education law even though he didnt like it. He said, You know, Rick Santorum youve got to take it for the team now and then. Well, my team is the people of the United States of America. That was Romneys message earlier in the day in Arizona, as he sought to upend Santorums image as a principled defender of conservative ideals Thursday by describing him as just another give-and-take politician. Michigan and Arizona both hold primaries on Feb. 28. Romney is heavily favored to win Arizona and claim all 29 delegates at stake, but Santorum is making an unexpectedly strong bid for an upset in the second contest, where 30 delegates are on the line.

Barack Obama speaks at a campaign fund raising event in Miami,Fla.
Obama: GOP philosophy is wrong about America

By Jim Kuhnhenn
CORAL GABLES, Fla. President Barack Obama on Thursday accused his Republican presidential rivals of peddling a philosophy that is wrong about America, seeking to rev up his supporters as he hauled in campaign cash in an important swing state. Obama, appearing in a state he carried in 2008 and one he may need to win again to hold the White House, cast Republicans as protectors of the wealthy, telling supporters at a fundraiser that the GOP hopefuls seeking his job would leave everyone else to fend for themselves. His comments came after he had assailed Republicans earlier in the day for offering what he described as flawed and dishonest plans to lower gasoline prices. Im here to tell them they are wrong about America, Obama said. Because in America we understand yes, were rugged individuals. Yes, we dont expect a handout. But we also understand we are greater together than we are on our own.
The president was headlining three campaign fundraisers Thursday in Florida, a traditional political battleground that could be key to his re-election hopes. But he had more than the November election on his mind. An avid basketball fan, the president also lamented missing Thursday nights highly anticipated NBA matchup in South Florida between the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks including the Knicks emerging superstar, Jeremy Lin. Im resentful Im not going to the game tonight. Im mad about that, Obama joked. Its not right. Its not fair. Obama did manage to watch the rst half of the game on television aboard Air Force One. The plane a smaller 757 instead of his usual 747 landed in Orlando as the rst half ended with the Heat up 51-47. The Knicks have catapulted to national attention by stringing together a series of wins on the shoulders of Lin, a previously unknown Chinese American Harvard University grad who has captured imaginations among fan and non-fan alike and given rise to a new emotion, Linsanity.
Will higher gas prices cloud Obamas re-election hopes?

By Tom Raum
WASHINGTON Soaring gasoline prices are threatening to undercut President Barack Obamas re-election prospects and offering Republicans an easy target. With prices pushing $4 a gallon and threatening to go even higher, Obama sought Thursday to confront rising public anxiety and strike back at his GOP critics. Only in politics do people root for bad news, do they greet bad news so enthusiastically, Obama said of Republicans. You pay more; theyre licking their chops. Obama said dismissively that all the Republicans can talk about is more drilling a bumper sticker ... a strategy to get politicians through an election when the
nations energy challenges demand much more. In a speech in Miami, he promoted the expansion of domestic oil and gas exploration but also the development of new forms of energy. For all the political claims, economists say theres not much a president of either party can do about gasoline prices. Certainly not in the short term. But its clear that people are concerned a new Associated Press-GfK poll says seven in 10 nd the issue deeply important so its sure to be a political issue through the summer. Right now, were experiencing yet another painful reminder of why developing new energy is so critical to our future, the president said. At an average of $3.58 a gallon, prices are already up 25 cents since Jan. 1, and experts say they could reach a record $4.25 a gallon by Memorial Day.

Bullet train: No semantic antics,please

U-T San Diego
Other voices
absent from the pronouncements of the California High-Speed Rail Authority over the years. But when Brown and the rail authority unveil their makeover next month, we hope they will candidly and thoroughly address two key points. The rst has to do with long-term nancing. Right now theres about $13 billion in available state and federal funding, with no commitments for a single dollar from any source after that money is spent. The governor needs to be specic about how he plans to come up with funding so we dont just end up with the initial Central Valley segment and nothing else. The second is whether their new plan comports with Proposition 1A, the 2008 ballot measure that provided $9.95 billion in bond seed money for the project. It states the money must go toward construction of a high-speed rail system using trains capable of sustained ... operating speeds of at least
ov. Jerry Browns recent pronouncement that the $98 billion price tag for the states bedraggled high-speed rail project was far too high suggests that the next version of the bullet trains business plan now due in mid-March will include some profound changes. Some state lawmakers and rail insiders expect the new proposal to essentially give up on building new tracks in the metropolitan Bay Area and in Los Angeles and Orange counties in favor of a system that links the southern tip of the former region with the northern tip of the latter region, then relies on upgraded existing tracks to get folks where they want to go, albeit at much slower speeds. This would certainly bring down the cost immensely by wiping out the need to build the most costly bullet-train tracks, in suburbs where activists and their lawyers would demand underground train lines or other extremely expensive ameliorative measures. It also has a realistic quality that has been
200 miles per hour where conditions permit those speeds. Depressingly but predictably, there have already been whispered conversations in Sacramento about how this could be gamed with semantics. If you build a train thats capable of 200 mph but doesnt go that fast in many areas because conditions dont permit those speeds, well, youre following the law. But Proposition 1As language, oddly enough, seemed to anticipate this semantic gaming by setting a maximum express service travel times for each bullet train route, with the baseline of two hour and 42 minutes to go from San Francisco to Los Angeles Union Station. Is that possible without new rail lines in the Bay Area and the L.A. area? Perhaps. Yet some insiders predict that this too will be the target of semantic antics. Thats not right. If the governor and the rail authority cant meet the dictates of Proposition 1A, they shouldnt try to weasel their way out of honest compliance.
Lost boys
For the secret of mans being is not only to live, but to have something to live for. Dostievski. Didnt your heart break for the young man who saw his father and two brothers gunned down by a gangmember who thought they were members of a competing gang and whose criminal record should have seen him deported some time ago? And then you wonder what makes so many boys, as they grow up, turn to gangs and murder and mayhem? What would make a young hoodlum shoot at a car carrying a father and his three sons on a homicidal whim? Michael Gurian explains in his new book, The Purpose of Boys: Ultimately, the gang becomes the role modeling agency, creating its own special kind of defensive selfprotective family for boys tossed out by the larger society and culture; it also becomes the place in which the boys will die young. What makes a boy grow into a man who abuses his girlfriends and wife and sometimes, even children? Where does all that anger come from that makes some drive so aggressively that they cause fatal accidents and bully or even fatally injure fans of the opposing team at a baseball or football game? What makes a teen plot to blow up a school? These boys fall victim to an unfortunate synchronicity between the demons inhabiting their own internal world and the corrupting inuence of modern American culture. They lose their way in the pervasive experience of vicarious violence, crude sexuality, shallow materialism, mean-spirited competition and spiritual emptiness. James Garbarino, Ph.D., Lost Boys. Since the 70s, the plight of girls has been considered a critical issue because many were convinced that for far too long girls were getting short shrift in our culture. From the beliefs that many parents preferred sons, that boys got all of the attention in elementary school, to the dearth of young women graduating from college and obtaining inuential positions, especially in the sciences and business these issues seem to have improved considerably. But in the process, many boys have been left in the lurch not able or willing to nd their place in this new, more egalitarian culture (even many grown men still seem to be stunned by it all). More boys are dropping out of school, giving up on the pursuit of the American Dream and wallowing in escape mechanisms. But who is helping them work toward becoming better integrated into the new paradigm? No equivalent organization like NOW is championing the rights of guys. The point is, when we look around and see the results of this dysfunction, we realize how desperately boys are in need of special attention from our culture. We need to honor their innate masculine gifts instead of trying to assimilate boys into the realm of females. The fallacious feminist belief that boys and girls needs and potential are one and the same has since been proven seriously wrong. The pendulum had swung too far. The havoc and desecration caused by boys whose problems are ignored until they commit a serious crime will increase and our country will dissolve even more rapidly into a Third World type nation if these problems arent taken seriously. Some statistics from Gurians book are startling! For every 100 women ages 18 to 21 in correctional facilities there are 1,430 men behind bars. Ages 15 -17, 100 girls and 837 boys. For every hundred girls diagnosed with learning disability, there are 276 boys. With emotional disturbances, there are 324 boys to 100 girls. For every 100 women who earn a bachelors degree, 73 American men earn the same degree. Shouldnt it be considered a national emergency that so many boys are growing up to become gangmembers, school dropouts, murderers, rapists, jobless and generally alienated from society? Too many families are seriously dysfunctional and most schools overwhelmed and apparently uninterested in the problem since they seem to be focused exclusively on No Child Left Behind and college prep. One sad truth is, as Gurian wrote: Schoolboys, mismatched in school systems that are not set up for male energy, are being medicated for behavioral issues at alarming rates. Eighty-ve percent of the worlds Ritalin is used on boys in the United States. Furthermore, our legislators are so wound up in their fear of tax hikes, their personal goals and their disdain of government regulation that this problem that can seriously undermine the integrity of our culture obviously doesnt register. A nation that does not shelter its children, including protecting them from exploitation will pay dearly in the future. Bob Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo), Growing Up Happy.

Fast trains,lower cost

By James Kelly
ent Lauder wants to pull the plug on plans to link San Francisco and Los Angeles with high-speed trains (The desperate rail in the Feb. 20 edition of the Daily Journal). He says they are costly to get up and running, would go nowhere in the Central Valley, are a waste of public money and would be outdated from day one with higher tech on the way. By such reasoning, we might still be ying around in bi-planes with a dozen passengers and a goggled pilot peering from an open cockpit at a dirt landing eld. Why arent we? Because public transportation has evolved, although often dogged by critics of things like public subsidies (even now) to enlarge and spiff up airports. Or air and noise pollution from low-ying jets (still a worry). Some modes of transport, think ocean
liners, disappeared or ballooned into oating cities when global ights, once out of reach, became budgetable. Again, not without public cost. But hey, why complain after a fabulous week or so beside a South Seas lagoon? We pour billions into BART, even though its now a test of endurance ear-pounding noise and a bouncy ride from lack of upkeep and inadequately acousticized tunnels and cars. But hey, its good enough if commuters dont object. Only intercity and regional rail remains in a time warp, stuck with 20th-century equipment and train control if not behind a priority freight. But that has to change, and will, under the impetus of rising gas prices with no end in sight. Seventy bucks into the tank puts trains in a new light. Its a new world, Mr. Lauder. But riding its rails, at speed, need not be at fearful cost. You might be astonished at how much having trains that can beat
Guest perspective
driving by an hour or more at half the price can change peoples lives, for the better. Rail speeds like that are reachable, incrementally, in the short term, at reasonable cost. May we add your voice toward such a goal? A lot of people will thank you. Especially in the San Joaquin Valley, where so many kids and seniors suffer from asthma or worse from air fouled by trafc fumes. Trains fast enough to get cars off the road would give them a break.

War on women?
Editor, Wow, talk about blowing something way out to left eld (War on womens rights letter by Jorg Aadahl in the Feb. 21 edition of the Daily Journal). What part of not wanting to give free birth control to women can elicit such a statement that a religious group or political party is at war with women. If you have not noticed, the national debt is almost 16 trillion smackers. Now those of you who like to spend other peoples money might think thats OK, but where do you draw the line on spending this coin? How about we give everyone a new car, a house, hair implants and if you act right now, we will even throw in this set of steak knifes. If you dont like a candidate or political party, how about you just dont vote for them? Let others make up their own mind.

Stocks recover from early loss

By Christina Rerode
Dow 12,984.69 +46.02 10-Yr Bond 1.984 -0.021 Nasdaq 2,956.98 +23.81 Oil (per barrel) 108.599998 S&P 500 1,363.46 +5.80 Gold 1,781.60
Wall Street
The burden showed in Thursdays earnings reports. Kohls, the department store chain, sank 6 percent after weak holiday sales caused it to miss Wall Street estimates for revenue and earnings. Grocery store chain Safeway Inc. plunged more than 7 percent after reporting a 6 percent drop in prot. Part of the problem is the rising cost of gas, which could hurt the economic recovery. The price of gas is rising as tensions mount over Irans nuclear program. A gallon of regular sells for $3.61 on average, the highest on record this time of year. The price of oil jumped again Thursday, to $107.83, a nine-month high and up $1.52 for the day. Besides Iran, analysts blamed the falling U.S. dollar. When the dollar falls in value, it takes more dollars for foreign buyers to pay for the same barrel of oil. The euro jumped to a two-month high against the dollar, $1.337, up almost a penny from Wednesday, after business condence surged in Germany. Dillards, another department store chain, and the discount chain Target also missed analysts estimates.
Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Safeway Inc.,down $1.72 at $20.95 The grocery chain said that its fourth-quarter prot slipped 6 percent due to the higher costs for the products on its shelves. Kohls Corp.,down $3.08 at $49.11 The department store chain said that its scal fourth-quarter net income fell as sales suffered during the holiday selling season. Dillards Inc.,up $5.63 at $57.83 The department store operator said its fourthquarter prot rose 29 percent thanks to a tax credit and unchanged expenses. Principal Financial Group Inc., up 88 cents at $27.89 A Sterne Agee analyst upgraded the insurers stock to a Buyrating,saying the company has solid long-termgrowth potential.

HSN Inc.,up 58 cents at $36.94 The company,which runs a television shopping channel and companion website, said that its fourth-quarter prot climbed 13 percent.
NEW YORK The Dow Jones industrial average made another run at 13,000 but couldnt quite get there. Stocks recovered from an early loss Thursday and pushed the Dow within four points of the milestone. Investors were encouraged by more good news on U.S. jobs, but gains were limited by poor results from retailers such as Safeway and Kohls. The Dow nished up 46.02 points at 12,984.69. The Standard & Poors 500 index gained 5.80 points to close at 1,363.46. The Nasdaq composite index climbed 23.81 points to 2,956.98. The Dow pierced 13,000 three times Tuesday but could not hold the milestone. The average hasnt closed above 13,000 since May 19, 2008, four months before the nancial crisis. Investors were encouraged Thursday after the government reported that the number of people seeking unemployment benets last week was unchanged. The four-week average was the lowest in four years. High unemployment has been a problem for retailers, which have been forced to slash prices even though they are paying more to make and ship their goods.
To close tax loopholes, new ones would open

By Christopher S. Rugaber and Paul Wiseman
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama wants to close dozens of loopholes that let some companies pay little or nothing in taxes. But he also wants to open new ones for manufacturers and companies that invest in clean energy. To some analysts, the new loopholes risk upending the level playing eld Obama says he wants to create. Some also fear that companies could game the system to grab the new tax breaks. The administration is not making sense, says Martin Sullivan, contributing editor at publisher Tax Analysts. The whole idea of corporate tax reform is to get rid of loopholes, and this plan is adding loopholes back in. Economists across the political spectrum support a kind of grand bargain: cut corporate tax rates while deleting tax
breaks that benet a favored few. The plan the government rolled out Wednesday goes a long way toward doing that. It lowers the ofcial corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 28 percent. And it eliminates many tax loopholes. But the plan gives manufacturers new tax breaks, which would cut their effective tax rate to no more than 25 percent. Other economists oppose a separate plank of the Obama plan: a minimum tax on foreign earnings of U.S. multinational companies. No other country imposes such a tax on its companies, they note. U.S. businesses would face a competitive disadvantage. Facing resistance from Republicans and many businesses, Obamas plan is in any case a longshot proposal so close to Election Day. For anything that Obama recommends during an election year and with a divided Congress, the best one can say is, Good luck, says Henry Aaron, senior fellow in economic studies at the
Brookings Institution. Those who stand to lose are really upset and will work hard to defeat it. Just about everybody agrees something has to change. When Japan enacts a corporate tax cut in April, the United States will be left with the highest corporate tax rate in the developed world. That puts the U.S. companies that actually pay the ofcial corporate tax rate at a disadvantage against their foreign competitors. (Many U.S. companies effectively pay lower rates because of tax breaks.) The loophole-riddled U.S. tax code now benets numerous industries over others. One tax break, for example, lets oil companies write off drilling costs immediately instead of over time, as most businesses must. In the end, different industries can pay far different effective rates. The Treasury Department says U.S. utility companies pay an average effective tax rate of 14 percent. By contrast, retailers pay an average 31 percent.
Apple CEO hints company will part with some cash

By Michael Liedtke
CUPERTINO Apple CEO Tim Cook believes the worlds most valuable company has more money than it needs. His next challenge is to figure out whether Apple should break from the cash-hoarding ways of his predecessor, the late Steve Jobs, and dip into its $98 billion bank account to pay shareholders a dividend this year. During a question-and-answer session Thursday at the companys annual shareholders meeting, Cook indicated he and the rest of Apples board are nearing a decision. The board and management are thinking about this very deeply, Cook said. This isnt a case where 100 per-
cent of people are going to agree with what we do. The question of how to handle Apples cash stockpile is a touchy one, partly because company co-founder Jobs had steadfastly brushed aside suggestions that the company restore its quarterly dividend. Apple stopped making the shareholder payments in 1995 when it was in such deep trouble that it needed to hold on to every cent. Things got so bad that Apple turned to rival Microsoft Corp. in 1997 for $150 million infusion to stay aoat. Microsoft came to the rescue at the same time Apple named Jobs as its CEO a decision that turned out to be one of the smartest business moves ever made. Haunted by memories of Apples grim times, Jobs kept accumulating cash even
as the companys fortunes soared during the nal decade of his life. Cook, though, appears willing to return some of the cash to shareholders since he succeeded Jobs as Apples CEO last August. Jobs died Oct. 5 after a long battle with cancer. During Thursdays meeting, Cook dropped his strongest hint yet that Apple will part with some of the money. Frankly speaking, Cook said, its more than we need to run the company. One Apple shareholder, Asif Khan of Sugar Land, Texas, urged Cook to resist committing to dividend every three months. He thinks it makes more sense for Apple to pay a one-time dividend later this year before the expiration of a provision that limits the federal tax rate on dividends to 15 percent. to reclaim its former fashion status. Its Gap chain, in particular, has reported annual sales drops the last seven years at North American stores open at least a year. That measurement excludes stores that open or close during the year and is considered a key measure of a retailers health. A slowly recovering economy and rising costs have only compounded the U.S. clothing sellers woes.

Brady helps raise funds for Serra

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Former Serra Padre and current New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady knows a thing or two about receiving standings ovations in a 13-year NFL career that includes three Super Bowl victories. Thursday night, back in the place which he said shaped who he is as a man, Brady got a couple more. Over 800 people packed the Serra gymnasium to hear Brady give the keynote address at
Serras annual Fund A Dream dinner. Bradys presence at the fundraiser forced it out of its usual 250-person home and into an 81-table banquet in The Jungle. The $1,500 tables sold out weeks in advance and raised $300,000 for the schools nancial aid program. At press time, Serra had yet to release the nights nal fundraising total although school president Lars Lund said Serra was hoping to raise $500,000 by the end of the night. Established in 2005, the Fund A Dream
event has provided more than $850,000 to the nancial aid program at Serra.

Gryphons cruise
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
You never know what youre going to get in the rst couple rounds of the Central Coast Section basketball tournament. Sometimes, youll get a game like Tuesdays during which the Los Altos girls knocked off Aragon by a basket. And then youll get what happened when Summit Prep of Redwood City traveled to Hillsborough to take on the girls of Crystal Springs Uplands School. Crystal Springs scored the rst 15 points of the game and never looked back, cruising to a 50-20 win over the Huskies in the rst round of the Division V tournament Thursday night. We did what we had to do tonight against an opponent that was obviously overmatched, said Crystal Springs coach Anthony Jones. The Gryphons not draw second-seeded Pinewood Saturday in Los Altos Hills. The big difference was the play of Crystals Hannah Kaiser, who scored a game-high 24 points. Take those away and its a much different game. Without Kaisers two dozen points, the Gryphons hold off Summit Prep by just six. [Kaiser is] denitely our MVP, Jones said. She rebounds, steals. She pretty much does everything. In addition to her 24 points, Kaiser pulled down 13 rebounds and came up with nine steals. She was the only Gryphon to score in double gures, but she got some help from both Michelle Embury and Sophie Murguia, who each scored nine points. Sophie stepped up tonight, Jones said. If we can get 10 points from some of the other girls, were in pretty good shape. Summit Prep (11-9 overall) appeared to be a bit nervous and the Huskies didnt handle the Gryphons full-court press very well early on. Crystal Springs took advantage. Embury had two fast-break layups during the Gryphons gameopening run before Kaiser took over, scoring nine of 24 in the opening quarter. By the time Summit Preps Sydnee Nathim hit a running, one-handed shot for the Huskies rst points, there was 2:09 left in the quarter.
Vikings run past Seaside

With two of their Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division rivals already through to the quarternals of the CCS playoffs, the Mills girls basketball team wanted to make sure they were not left out of the party. And so, behind an inspired second half of defense that saw them record 11 steals, Mills dusted off Seaside 68-40 in the second round of the Central Coast Section Division III playoffs Thursday evening. The win means the No. 6 Vikings will join No. 1 Terra Nova and No. 4 San Mateo at Santa Clara High Saturday in CCS quarternals games, with a matchup against No. 3 Santa Cruz looming on the schedule. Santa Cruz is a very good team, said Mills head coach Dave Matsu, looking ahead to Saturdays game following the win. Hopefully this energy with all these points will rub off Saturday so we can make a few shots because were going to have to score at least 60 points to beat a team like that. Hopefully, we get some condence from our shooting tonight. Mills outscored Seaside 38-22 in the second half, shooting 13 of 27 from the oor after hitting on 39 percent of their attempts in the rst half. The difference came in the Vikings commitment to defense the majority of their second-half baskets came after steals which led to easy layups in transition. We had a lot of ball pressure, Matsu said of his teams second half defense. That created a lot more havoc. No. 22 was their best player. We took her out of the game by putting a lot of ball pressure on her which made them mishandle the ball and thats how we were able to get more turnovers. It wasnt like Mills was particularly struggling in the rst half though. The Vikings led

M-As Delagnes looks to take next step and win CCS title

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
What San Mateo County may lack in wrestling depth, it makes up for with quality. At the Central Coast Section boys wrestling championships Friday and Saturday at Independence High in San Jose, the Peninsula Athletic League and Serra have 12 wrestlers seeded in the top 6 and three others selected as alternates. The top six nishers earn medals, with the top three earning spots in the state tournament.
Eleven of the wrestlers are entering the tournament seeded for the rst time, but one MenloAthertons Andre Delagnes, who is seeded No. 2 at 120 pounds enters this years tournament as a seeded wrestler for the second year in a Andre row. Last year, Delagnes Delagnes advanced to the championship match as the second seed, where he fell
to Gilroys top-seeded Victor Olmos, 5-4. Andre actually led the majority of that match, said M-A coach Peter Wright about the 2011 nal. He got called for eeing the match (which awarded a penalty point to Olmos). I didnt agree with the call. Its a judgment call by the referee. You just have to live with it. That put the match at 4-3, in favor of Andre, but it changed the complexion of the match. Wright said Delagnes mentality changed from trying to win to trying not to lose.
While a second-place nish at CCS is nothing of which to be ashamed, Wright said Delagnes was more frustrated about just missing on a chance to make it to the second day of the state meet. Advancing to the second day of the state meet means a top-six nish in the state in that weight class. He wants to be the rst wrestler from M-A to be on the podium (at the state championships), Wright said. Thats whats been driving him. To that extent, Delagnes upped his training

Earthquakes get new TV,stadium deals

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The San Jose Earthquakes are really shaking and baking. A day after the Major League Soccer club saw its Planned Development Permit upheld by the San Jose Planning Commission, the Quakes announced they have reached a new television deal that will show 29 of their games in 2012. The Earthquakes and Comcast SportsNet announced their most comprehensive regional television schedule in the teams history. Comcast SportsNet (CSN) will televise 29 Earthquakes games in 2012 in high denition. With the ve remaining games televised nationally, the San Jose will have all of their games on television in 2012 for the rst time since the team returned to MLS in 2008. We are proud to say that all of our games will be on television this season, said Earthquakes President Dave Kaval via a club press release. We have a great partner in Comcast SportsNet and we made a commitment to provide Quakes fans with the best local television package in team history. In addition to the new television schedule, the Earthquakes also announced their broadcast team for the 2012 season. Jim Kozimor will return to the play-by-play role for his third season and be joined by color analyst and former Quakes defender Kelly Gray. Dan Dibley, of 95.7 The Game fame, will return as the sideline reporter for all home matches. Gray replaces longtime Quakes announcer John Shrader, who is now a pro-
fessor of journalism and mass communication at California State University, Long Beach. We ... want to thank John Shrader for his great work since 1996, Kuval said. He will always be part of the Earthquakes family. The 29 matches on Comcast SportsNet will primarily air on CSN California, while some will air on CSN Bay Area and a few on CSN Plus. Along with the locally televised games, the Quakes will appear on national television seven times, four on NBC Sports Network and once on ESPN2. Concurrent with CSN Californias coverage, two matches will appear on Galavision. The Quakes telecast schedule begins on Comcast SportsNet California with their home opener against the New England Revolution on March 10 at 7:30 p.m. Comcast SportsNet California Vice President and General Manager Larry Eldridge added on the release, The Earthquakes are one of the premier franchises in MLS with one of the most passionate and loyal fan bases in the league. Wednesday, San Jose Planning Commission voted 6-0 to uphold the Earthquakes Planned Development Permit Wednesday night, paving the way for the club to break ground on its new stadium at 1125 Coleman Ave. in San Jose. The Earthquakes PD permit was initially consented for approval by city planners on Dec. 14 2011, but a member of the Newhall Neighborhood Association appealed the permit on Jan. 1. (The) decision to uphold the Planned Development Permit that we received in December is a milestone not just for the San Jose Earthquakes but all Bay Area soccer fans. Our club and its stakeholders have worked hard through this process and we feel that we have a great plan for our new stadium. Looking ahead, our club will now begin the work of nalizing the stadium design and nancing plan. The goal is to put shovels in the ground this year, Kuval said. Following over two hours of input from the public, as well as the Earthquakes, the commission closed discussion and took action on the appeal ultimately voting 6-0.

Two goals enough for Sharks

Sharks 2, Leafs 1
Toronto dropped below the postseason cutoff in the Eastern Conference. We need a win somehow, Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson said. Reimer made 24 Patrick Marleau saves but dropped to 11-9-4 because he couldnt stop Marleau. The Sharks (32-207) won for the rst time in ve games. Im quite proud and pleased of the way the guys responded, Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. We had a hell of a game
TORONTO Patrick Marleau was the only San Jose player to put a puck past Torontos James Reimer. He did it twice, and that was enough to give the Sharks a much-needed win. Marleau scored two goals in the second period, and the Sharks beat Toronto 2-1 on Thursday night, sending the stumbling Maple Leafs to their seventh loss in eight games. Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke put the team on alert when he told a Toronto radio station Wednesday that he was in the market for a goalie. Judging by the teams recent play, he might not stop there.
on our hands. Theyre a very fast team, but we did some of the things we wanted to. Jake Gardiner scored for the Maple Leafs (29-25-7), who are 1-6-1 since Feb. 7. The biggest concern against San Jose was the lack of urgency the Leafs displayed during the rst 40 minutes. A fantastic third period wasnt enough to make up for the slow start. Points are extremely important right now, and every game is a big game for us, forward Tim Connolly said. Weve got to play that way for a full 60 minutes. Toronto dropped to ninth place in the East with Winnipegs victory over Tampa Bay. The Maple Leafs are trying to end their playoff drought at eight years.

Brauns 50-game drug suspension overturned

NEW YORK National League MVP Ryan Brauns 50-game suspension was overturned Thursday by baseball arbitrator Shyam Das, the rst time a baseball player successfully challenged a drug-related penalty in a grievance. The decision was announced Thursday by the Major League Baseball Players Association, one day before the 28-year-old outelder was due to report to spring training with the Milwaukee Brewers. The commissioners ofce and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency each were disappointed and angry about the ruling. Brauns urine tested positive in October for elevated testosterone, and ESPN revealed the positive test in December. Braun has insisted that he did not violate baseballs drug agreement. I am very pleased and relieved by
todays decision, he said in a statement. It is the rst step in restoring my good name and reputation. We were able to get through this Ryan Braun because I am innocent and the truth is on our side. MLB executive vice president Rob Manfred said management vehemently disagrees with Das decision. Das, who has been baseballs independent arbitrator since 2000, informed the sides of his decision, but did not give them a written opinion. He has 30 days to do so. Today the arbitration panel announced its decision, by a 2-1 vote, to sustain Ryan Brauns grievance challenging his 50-game suspension
by the commissioners ofce, a statement from the players association said. Manfred and union head Michael Weiner are part of the arbitration panel, and management and the union almost always split their votes, leaving Das, the independent panel member, to make the decision. MLB and cable sports tried to sully the reputation of an innocent man, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said on Twitter. Picked the wrong guy to mess with. Truth will set u free Brewers closer John Axford added on Twitter: All I can say is that Braun has exemplary character is continuing to handle this in an unbelievable manner. An evidentiary hearing on Brauns appeal was held Jan. 19-20 in New York, ending the day before the player accepted the NL MVP award at a black-tie dinner.
We provided complete cooperation throughout, despite the highly unusual circumstances. I have been an open book, willing to share details from every aspect of my life as part of this investigation, because I have nothing to hide, Braun said in his statement. I have passed over 25 drug tests in my career, including at least three in the past year. A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that, after being informed of the positive result, Braun asked to have another urine test taken, and that the second test was within normal range. During the hearing, Brauns side challenged the chain of custody from the time the urine sample was collected by Comprehensive Drug Testing Inc. to when it was sent nearly 48 hours later to a World AntiDoping Agency-certied laboratory in Montreal, two people familiar with the case said. They spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because what took place in the hearing is supposed to be condential. The sample was collected on Oct. 1, a Saturday and the day the Brewers opened the NL playoffs. The collector did not send the sample to the laboratory until Monday, thinking it would be more secure at home that at a Federal Express ofce during the weekend. Baseballs drug agreement states that absent unusual circumstances, the specimens should be sent by FedEx to the laboratory on the same day they are collected. Travis Tygart, chief executive ofcer of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, called the decision a real gut-kick to clean athletes. To have this sort of technicality of all technicalities let a player off ... its just a sad day for all the clean players and those that abide by the rules within professional baseball, he said.
Stewart,Kenseth win Daytona qualifying races

By Jenna Fryer
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Roush Fenway Racing will have three cars at the front of the season-opening Daytona 500. Matt Kenseth won the second of the twin 150-mile qualifying races Thursday with a bold pass of teammate Greg Bife. The victory gave Kenseth a spot on the second row for Sundays race right behind teammates Carl Edwards and Bife. Tony Stewart, the defending NASCAR champion, won the rst race and will line up next to Kenseth at Daytona International Speedway. Bife was leading headed into the nal lap, but he tried to block Kenseth, who dove to the inside and used a push from Jimmie Johnson to take the lead. Well, we were going so much faster that we were going to go by him regardless, Kenseth said. I think that was his only hope, is to try to get up the track, try to line my front bumper up where I had to push him. The problem was, I was going too fast. Even if I wanted to slow down, which I didnt want to on the last lap, I couldnt have. Robby Gordon and Michael McDowell earned the two spots up for
grabs in the first race, while Joe Nemechek and Dave Blaney each raced their way into the 500 in the second qualifying race. Two-time Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip failed to qualify for the race after wrecking as he tried to return to the track surface after a late pit stop. The accident means it will be the rst time since 1972 neither Darrell Waltrip or Michael Waltrip will be in NASCARs biggest race of the season. I just went the wrong way and lost the car, said a dejected Waltrip. I feel like I let everybody down. I dont know what to say. Its just sad. The two qualifying races could not have been more different, and both were far calmer than Saturday nights exhibition Daytona 500. That race was the rst display of new rules NASCAR implemented to break up the two-car tandem racing that fans vehemently opposed. But the return of pack racing led to three multi-car accidents and a sling-shot pass at the end of the race that gave Kyle Busch the win over Stewart. The rst race on Thursday had one early ve-car accident that began when McDowell ran into David Gilliland, who shot directly into Juan Pablo Montoya and Paul Menard.
Menard then questioned the style of racing NASCAR has created. Its a mess out there, said Menard, who was also wrecked in the Shootout. NASCAR is trying to dictate physics. Physics says two cars are going to push and theyre trying to make rule changes to keep us from doing it, so its kind of hybrid pack racing and tandem racing. Its causing a pretty unsafe situation. On the last lap of the race, with Stewart trying to hold off Dale Earnhardt Jr. in a race to the checkered ag, Danica Patrick was wrecked as the pack raced down the backstretch. Patrick was hit by Aric Almirola as they raced along the backstretch. The contact sent her car sliding across the track and into an inside retaining wall. Her Chevrolet lifted off its wheels as it hit the SAFER barrier, which noticeably softened the blow. She was not injured and will make her Daytona 500 debut on Sunday. It happened really quick, she said. We were just looking to nish, to be honest, and unfortunately that wasnt the case. It felt pretty big. I dont know what it looked like. Stewart, who owns Patricks car, said he tried to watch her race from his rearview mirror.

plished that. It was a great third quarter for us. Mills recorded seven steals in the period; turnovers that helped them outscore Seaside 19-9. The Vikings got a nice boost from Taylor Cormier on the perimeter, while Siu and Chin continued their heated ways the two combined for 11 points in the second half and 25 overall. When they go, we go, Matsu said. When they get rebounds, when they get blocked shots, that makes the rest of the team go. Tonight, they did that. In the rst half, nothing, second half much more aggressive in the post, more rebounds, more outlets. We scored a lot of points in transition tonight and it was due to the two post players that we have. The defensive pressure continued in the fourth quarter as the Vikings pulled further and further away. Matsu said he cleared his entire bench in the effort. Brianna Sui scored eight points in the second half and nished with 12. Cormier added 10 points, all in the second half. Brady spoke of his former teammates and joked about being the second string quarterback on his freshman football team plus the time he spent catching for the Serra baseball team. The most touching moment of his speech came three minutes in when Brady acknowledged his family in San Mateo and mentioned the late Tom Martinez, his long-time mentor and friend. So for me, I spent a lot of time reecting on the things I value the most in my life, Brady said when talking about a ight to Indianapolis four weeks ago on his way to his fth Super Bowl, along with the things that happened during the course of my academic and athletic career that had led me to that point. Coaches like Tom club team as well as spending two days a week training with the Stanford club team. He put in a lot of extra time, Wright said. If the seeds hold, Delagnes will nd himself with an opportunity to avenge his CCS loss last year. Olmos, again, is the top seed in the 120-pound class. Were keeping our ngers crossed, Wright said. [ Delagnes] could be the rst guy to bring home a M-A CCS title since 1988. Serra had the most local wrestlers seeded for CCS, led by Travis Roberts No. 2 seed at 126.

28-18 after two quarters of basketball. But Matsu wasnt thrilled with that. Seaside got a lot of looks in the paint, scoring their rst 14 inside the key. It wasnt until a late run by the Vikings, spear-headed by Kelly Chin and Prisilla Siu, that they were able to put some distance between themselves and Seaside. Some of that might have been the product of Marlena Rose, the Spartans big presence inside, going out with an injury with 3:05 left in the half. Up 10, Mills came out and was a much different, much more aggressive team in the second half. We knew they were going to be a tough team in the third quarter, Matsu said. We didnt start off very good in the third quarter so we had to come out with much more energy, more defensive stops, and we accom-
GRYPHONS
Crystal Springs (9-12) led 17-4 after the rst period. Thats our goal to press and run and get out in transition, Jones said. The Gryphons slowed down a bit offensively in the second quarter, scoring just 10 points while hitting just 3 of 11 from the oor. Summit Prep, while appearing more comfortable, just could not nd the range. The Huskies managed just four points again and trailed 27-8 at halftime. The Gryphons scored the rst four points of the third period and the rout was ofcially on. They out-scored the Huskies 15-7 in the third quarter and led 42-15 heading into the nal eight minutes. The Huskies, however, showed some moxie in the fourth. While they still had trouble putting the ball in the basket, they were very aggressive on both ends of the oor. They forced the Gryphons second-string into nine fourth-quarter turnovers. And, despite the dearth of points, they gave Crystal Springs some trouble in their halfcourt offense. [Summit Prep] showed a lot of energy and defensive aggression, Jones said. They moved the ball pretty well in the half court, which is something we had problems with. We werent rotating well. Nathim led the Huskies with 13 points and had seven rebounds. Mariah Levin chipped in with six. The Huskies actually did a pretty good job rebounding, as well. They were only outrebounded by eight, 42 to 34. Id rather we had a little more competitive game, as long as we win, Jones said. We could have played better, but well take a CCS win. 138, while Arthur Georgiyev is seeded No. 4 at 170. Burlingame will be represented at 160, where Charlie Guttiari is the No. 4 seed, while Capuchinos Lucciano Molina earned the No. 4 position at 195. Of the alternates which means they would be the No. 6 seed if anyone of the current top six seeds has to default for any reasons Peter Johnson represents Sequoia at 182, Aria Assemi from Mills will wrestle in the 195-pound class, while El Caminos Aaron Hill is in the heavyweight division.

Laser for Toenail Fungus?

What is Toenail Fungus?
Toenail fungus is an infection by a fungal organism which slowly rots away healthy toenails. Left untreated, it can affect your healthy toenails as well as cause a skin infection better known as athletes feet. Affecting men, women and children, its often an embarrassing problem which can lead to physical pain as the infected toenails thicken making it uncomfortable to wear shoes. Infected toenails often appeared discolored, mis-shapened, thick, brittle and difcult to trim.
What Kind of Treatments are Available?

Most patients attempt to resolve their fungus problem using drugstore topical liquids and cream. But due to the location of the infection under the nail plate, topical medication cant reach the infecting organism. Combining methods have been found to be the most effective; utilizing medication, in-ofce partial nail removal if needed and advanced laser therapy.
How is the laser used?

A laser using a specic wavelength of light produces sufcient heat to destroy the fungus under the nail with minimum discomfort and without damage to the surrounding skin. The laser energy is applied via multiple treatment sessions to promote the growth of clear nail without fungal infection. Properly performed, this is a highly effective, safe treatment and improvement is usually noted in 3 to 9 months with growth of clear nails.

Heat shut down Lin, Knicks

MIAMI Jeremy Lin offered no excuses. He and the Knicks had no answers. Lins rapid rise from unknown to superstar was slowed big-time Thursday night by the Miami Heat, who overwhelmed the NBAs hottest story with a swarming defense that the Knicks new starting point guard could not solve.
Forcing Lin into easily the worst game of his remarkable run as New Yorks newest star, Miami topped the Knicks 102-88 the eighth straight win for the NBA-leading Heat, all by at least 12 points. Chris Bosh scored 25 points, Dwyane Wade added 22 and LeBron James nished with 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists for Miami, which will go into the All-Star break with the NBAs best record (27-7).

Charger,Dodges large sedan,impresses

By Ann M. Job
Forget about retro, nostalgia stuff. The 2012 Dodge Charger is an impressive, large, rearwheel drive sedan for todays buyers who want to stand out from the crowd. Revamped for 2012, the expressively styled, four-door Charger can look like a snarl coming down the road. It can act like a snarling machine, too, especially if it has the new-for2012, 6.4-liter, Hemi V-8 with 470 horsepower. Even the base, 3.6-liter V-6 is noteworthy. Mated to a new, eight-speed automatic transmission, it gives the 2012 Charger a federal government fuel economy rating of 19 miles per gallon in city driving and 31 mpg on the highway. Thats higher than the 19/28-mpg rating for the 2012 Toyota Avalon. Suspension upgrades give the new Charger smart, responsive handling, and at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations crash tests, the 2012 Charger earned a top safety ranking ve out of ve stars for overall passenger protection. Best of all, auto enthusiasts can find Charger models affordable. Starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $26,420 for a 2012 Charger SE with the base, 3.6-liter V-6 with 292-horsepower mated to an automatic transmission. This compares with the starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $33,955 for a base, 2012 Avalon with 268-horsepower V-6 and automatic transmission, and $26,350 for a base, 2012 Ford Taurus large sedan with 263horsepower V-6 and automatic transmission. Both the Avalon and Taurus are front-wheel drive. The rear-wheel-drive, 2012 Hyundai Genesis sedan with 333-horsepower V-6 has a starting retail price of $35,075. The lowest starting retail price for a 2012 Charger with V-8 is $30,920 for an R/T model with automatic-transmission and 370-horse-

models. The SRT8 incurs a $1,000 U.S. gas guzzler tax. The big oomph, or torque, in the car peaks at 470 foot-pounds at 4,300 rpm and is accompanied by awesome engine sounds. The ve-speed automatic seemed a bit oldschool, but it worked ne and included paddle shifters so drivers can shift through gears on their own, if they like. Optional, 245/45 performance tires on the test car seemed to bite into the pavement to get traction quickly as the power came on. And the 4,365-pound Charger easily beat other vehicles away from stoplights. Power came on steadily when the SRT8 merged onto highways and in passing maneuvers. Reportedly, the top speed of 175 miles an hour is only because at that point, the aerodynamic drag on the car keeps it from going faster, not because Dodge installed a limiter. Unlike most large sedans that have a sedate look, the SRT8 has audacious styling. The grille is blacked out and looks like a massive vacuum opening at the front of the car. There are SRT8 fenders on the sides and four, chrome, double-walled exhaust pipes at the back. The sporty coupe-like look even fooled a passenger, who walked up and casually opened the rear door to get inside. He had to be reminded that there was a front door handle farther toward the front of the car. Passengers get generous legroom, front and back, of at least 40.1 inches. The Genesis sedan provides some 44 inches of front-seat legroom. Headroom of 38.6 inches in the well-bolstered Charger front seats provides most drivers and passengers with comfortable resting spots and decent views out over the slightly domed, aluminum hood. The Avalon has a bit more headroom 38.9 inches in the front seat. The 37.9 inches of rear headroom in the highly styled Charger compares with the Avalons 37.5 inches and the Genesis sedans 37.7 inches. The test Charger SRT8 tooled around town and in the countryside with ne manners, responding without nervousness to steering inputs and keeping easily in its lane during turns and curves. The tidy, sport steering wheel with the atshaped bottom was a nice perk, and interior t and nish was excellent. As long as the suspension wasnt set in Sport mode, the ride was firm but not punishing, as dampers adjusted automatically to smooth the ride. The overall sensation was of a heavy car that was well-managed. But there was constant road noise from the 20-inch tires. Sport mode suspension changed the cars personality into a racetrack machine, and the large display screen in the middle of the dashboard could be switched to show racing stats such as 0-to-60-mph times and lateral g forces.

power, 5.7-liter, Hemi V-8. A 2012 Charger with the top-level, 470-horsepower Hemi V-8 has a starting retail price of $47,720. Neither the Avalon nor Taurus is offered with a V-8. But the starting retail price, including destination charge, for a 2012 Genesis sedan with 385-horsepower, 4.6-liter V-8 is $45,375, while a 2012 Genesis 5.0 R-Spec sedan with 429-horsepower, 5-liter V-8 starts at $47,375. The Charger name dates to 1966, when Dodge joined domestic auto companies in selling pony and muscle cars. The name was used into the late 1970s and revived in 2006 on sedans that the media early on described as retro models. But the 2012 Chargers ride, amenities and technology arent retro. The test, 2012 Charger SRT8, for example, had the latest fuel saving technology deactivation of up to four of the eight cylinders when power wasnt needed plus an active valve exhaust system that allowed fuel-sipping across a wide rpm range. It helped the test car, with 70 percent city driving, to average 15.4 mpg. The ofcial SRT8 mileage rating is 14/23 mpg. Note this is the lowest mileage rating of all Charger
Auto brief
Mazda shares dive on plan to raise $2 billion
TOKYO Mazda stock dived nearly 7 percent Thursday after the struggling car maker said it will raise about $2 billion from selling new shares to invest in assembly plants and developing new vehicle technologies. The Japanese company, which makes the Miata sports car, said in a statement it aims to have half of its vehicle production based overseas by early 2016 as part of plans to make its business more competitive. Mazdas earnings have been hurt by the yens sharp rise, the tsunami disaster last year in Japan, flooding in Thailand and the European debt crisis. Its shares closed down 6.8 percent at 37 yen in Tokyo. Of the 163 billion yen ($2 billion) it hopes to raise from the share sale, some 93 billion yen will be allocated to developing auto technologies focused on fuel efciency and safety. The rest will go toward building new car and engine assembly factories in Mexico and upgrading existing assembly lines in Russia, China, Japan and Southeast Asia. The automaker plans to introduce eight new vehicles by early 2016 using its Skyactiv technology that improves fuel efciency by 20 percent to 30 percent compared with older models.

s a nancial consultant who reviews many plans each year, all people make simple mistakes in their nancial plans that end up costing them dearly. The biggest mistake they make is that they do not meet with their advisor annually for a review. Few things remain constant these days. If the client is invested in risk products, they should meet with their advisor more often than annually. Their risk advisor should be very hands on, especially if they are in Stocks, mutual funds or Exchange Traded Funds.
Many risk advisors use computer programs to select products based on the clients risk prole. It is impossible to work with a lot of clients and do a lot of trading without using these programs. A lot of activity does not mean that you are gaining. Many times if you deduct the fees of purchasing the product, the management fees paid to the advisors, & the taxes owed, you may be going backwards. Understanding the fees is mammoth. Another detail missed is that they do not have their portfolio reviewed from
a taxation standpoint. Making one dollar more that puts you in a higher tax bracket can be very costly and wipe away the gains you have made. Moving money tax free and growing money tax sheltered produce greater results. Titles of accounts and beneciary designations also impact taxes. You made your wealth. Make sure that you hold on to all you can and then some. Janice Gough, LUTCF, Financial Consultant specializes in Retirement Income Planning

Anthony Hopkins turned in a twisted but brilliant performance in The Silence of the Lambs as Hannibal the Cannibal Lecter, the serial killer who boasted of consuming his victims.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
The Artist is right behind with 10 nominations and also is favored to win best director for French lmmaker Michel Hazanavicius. People thought he was a little soft in the head a few years ago when Hazanavicius pitched his idea of making a black-and-white silent film the way almost no one has since the 1920s. Modern dabblers in silent cinema often take an avant-garde approach, but Hazanavicius wanted to make something for general audiences. After all, there was a time when silent movies were the only game in town, and Charles Chaplin, Buster Keaton and D.W. Grifth were the blockbuster lmmakers of their era. Writer-director Hazanavicius settled on a comic melodrama following the decline of a silent-lm superstar (bestactor nominee Jean Dujardin), whose career crumbles in the sound era and who nds a guardian angel in a rising talent (Berenice Bejo, a supporting-actress contender and Hazanavicius real-life romantic partner). One of my concerns was how people are going to react to a silent movie now, Hazanavicius said. I thought it was easier for people to accept, to see a silent movie if the subject is about a silent actor. As an audience, to say, OK, its a silent actor, its a silent movie. Why not? That makes sense. On a nostalgia-tinged night, it also makes sense that Billy Crystal returns as Oscar host for the rst time in eight years. The most-beloved modern Oscar emcee, Crystal is back for his ninth time, second only to Bob Hope, who was host at 19 ceremonies. Along with Hugo and The Artist, which span the early 1900s through the 1930s, key nominees cover the last century, from Steven Spielbergs World War I saga War Horse to Stephen Daldrys Sept. 11-themed drama Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close and Alexander Paynes contemporary family story The Descendants. All are among the nine best-picture contenders, joined by Woody Allens romantic fantasy Midnight in Paris, which time travels from today to the 1920s and earlier; Tate Taylors Deep South drama The Help, set at the start of the 1960s civil-rights movement; Bennett Millers baseball story Moneyball, chronicling the Oakland As efforts to build a winning team on a penny-pinching budget; and Terrence Malicks family drama The Tree of Life, an elegiac tale largely set in the 1950s, with sweeping glimpses back to the dawn of creation. The latter two star Brad Pitt, a bestactor nominee for Moneyball. The A-list crowd also includes acting nominees George Clooney for The Descendants, Meryl Streep for the Margaret Thatcher story The Iron Lady, Glenn Close for the Irish drama Albert Nobbs and Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh for the Marilyn Monroe tale My Week with Marilyn. Williams as Monroe and Branagh as Laurence Olivier bring another dose of old-time Hollywood to Sundays show, their lm chronicling the uneasy collaboration between the screen legends on the set of the 1957 romance The Prince and the Showgirl. The record-holder with 17 acting nominations, Golden Globe winner Streep looked like an early favorite to claim her third Oscar, which would be almost its own bit of nostalgia: She hasnt won in nearly three decades. But at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, one of the most-accurate forecasts for Oscar night, Viola Davis beat Streep for best actress for her role as a maid taking a stand against racial prejudice in 1960s Mississippi in The Help.

OSCARS
redesigned to resemble a timeless movie theater. Its a tting transformation on a night whose key nominees are Hugo and The Artist, two love songs to forebears of the ickering image. Set amid the transition from silent cinema to talking pictures in the late 1920s, The Artist is the best-picture favorite and would become the only silent movie to win top honors since the rst Oscar show 83 years ago. The leader with 11 nominations, Hugo was made by Martin Scorsese, arguably Hollywoods biggest cheerleader for the rediscovery and preservation of early lms. Adapted from Brian Selznicks childrens book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, the lm centers on a boy and girl in 1930s Paris who unravel a mystery surrounding French film pioneer Georges Melies (Ben Kingsley), whose fantastical silent-era shorts of 100 years ago or more are recreated by Scorsese using the best technology modern digital Hollywood has to offer. Known for tough, violent adult stories such as Raging Bull and best-picture winner The Departed, Scorsese clearly had a ball making his rst digital 3-D lm. Using todays technology to revisit the past also imparted a sense of the innovation required by Melies to make his lms in the rst place. Every time we put the camera in a position I wanted, we discovered new ways to do things or wrong ways to do things, Scorsese said. We had to rediscover how to make movies every day, every setup.
CRYSTAL
course, meant for each other, and Crystal was a surprisingly convincing romantic lead. This movie would be cast totally differently today. It would star Channing Tatum or Ryan Reynolds, someone great-looking. Maybe Seth Rogen. Maybe.
Monsters Inc.(2001):
Man, this movie made me cry. I mean, its one of the greatest Pixar lms, and Crystal has a delightful interplay with John Goodman as a couple of monsters who inadvertently befriend a little girl theyre supposed to frighten. But it takes a heart-wrenching turn, and that emotional impact comes from both the writing and the performances. Crystal lends his voice to Mike Wazowski, a green, one-eyed ball who looks like a hyperactive lime with spindly arms and legs. His high-pitched, whiny shtick provides the perfect contrast for Goodmans rich, gravelly vocal tones, and he brings great energy to this fast-talking, lovable little dude.
The Princess Bride(1987):

One of the greatest comedies of all time, of course, and a sentimental favorite of mine growing up. Reiners fairy tale has a strong ensemble cast full of great, memorable performances. That includes Crystals as Miracle Max, the disgruntled former employee of the evil Prince Humperdinck who creates a magical pill that brings the swashbuckling hero Westley back to life. Because hes only mostly dead, you see. Crystal described the character, with his exaggerated nose and ears and wild, gray hair, as looking like a combination of former New York Yankees manager Casey Stengel and his grandmother. He and Carol Kane have a lively, old-school banter as a bickering but loving husband and wife, like something out of a Borscht Belt comedy routine, and while hes only in one scene, its a standout.
Throw Momma From the Train(1987):

I always admired the fact that everyone involved here has the decency to acknowledge that theyre stealing from Strangers on a Train, which happens to be my favorite Hitchcock lm. This is not an homage, this is outright theft, but its respectful, and with a comic twist. In Danny DeVitos directing debut, he and Crystal co-star as two guys with nothing in common but the desire to have someone killed, so they agree to swap murders to avoid suspicion. Crystal, who plays an author, serves as the frustrated straight man among larger-than-life gures an abusive ogre of a mother, a skittish mommas boy. And every writer can relate to the anxiety of looking at a blank page (or screen) and not being able to get past the words The night was ....
Soap(1977-81):
OK. So this is a bit of a cheat because its a television performance. But the role was so groundbreaking, Crystal was so good in it and the show was so culturally signicant, I had to include it. In this nighttime parody of daytime soap operas, Crystal played Jodie Dallas, an openly gay character functioning as a major gure on network television, a rarity at the time.

A nun, football coach, Marine going to Oscars

By Derrik J. Lang
LOS ANGELES At least one person on the Oscars red carpet wont have to worry about what to wear: Mother Dolores Hart. The 73-year-old nun, who left Hollywood in 1963 to join a monastery after starring in lms with the likes of Elvis Presley and George Hamilton, is among the nominated documentary lm subjects slated to attend Sundays 84th annual Academy Awards. Hart, who will be sporting her nuns habit, is chronicled in the short lm God Is the Bigger Elvis. Rebecca Cammisa and Julie Anderson, the shorts lmmakers, said at a panel discussion at the motion picture academys Beverly Hills headquarters Wednesday that Mother Dolores, who is a voting member of the academy and attended the ceremony three times before she became a nun, will walk the red carpet outside the Hollywood and Highland Center on Sunday. Other nominated documentary lm subjects expected to attend the Oscars include Bill Courtney, the white coach of an all-black, inner-city high-school football team featured in Undefeated, and Sgt. Nathan Harris, a Marine injured in Afghanistan whose emotional struggle to transition back to life in North Carolina is depicted in Hell and Back Again. I would encourage you, if any of you win, to bring them to the stage, lmmaker and academy documentary branch ofcer Michael Moore, who moderated the panel discussion with the nominees, told the lmmakers. I know youve been told not to, but as the governor of your branch, I will be there, and Ill block any security that tries to prevent it. It wouldnt be the rst time the Fahrenheit 9/11 lmmaker bucked academy rules. When he won the best documentary feature trophy in 2002 for Bowling for Columbine, Moore brought the other documentary lms nominees on stage with him and was infamously met with boos and cheers when he used his acceptance speech to denounce President George Bush. Among this years features, Hell and Back Again by Danfung Dennis and Mike Lerner and Undefeated by T.J. Martin and Dan Lindsay will face environmental epic If a Tree Falls by Marshall Curry and Sam Cullman; West Memphis Three installment Paradise Lost 3 by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky; and 3-D choreography chronicle Pina by Wim Wenders. The short lm God Is the Bigger Elvis is up against the civil-rights prole The Barber of Birmingham by Robin Fryday and Gail Dolgin; Iraq War account Incident in New Baghdad by James Spione; acid attack saga Saving Face by Daniel Junge and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy; and disaster portrait The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom by Lucy Walker.
Firth, Portman, Bale and Leo to present at Oscars

LOS ANGELES All four acting winners from last years Academy Awards are returning to this weekends Oscars as presenters. Organizers say Colin Firth, Natalie Portman, Christian Bale and Melissa Leo will be there to hand out awards Sunday. Last years lead-acting prizes went to Firth for The Kings Speech and Portman for Black Swan. Bale and Leo won the supporting honors for The Fighter. Among this seasons contenders are lead performers George Clooney for The Descendants, Viola Davis for The Help, Meryl Streep for The Iron Lady and Jean Dujardin for The Artist. The supporting favorites are Octavia Spencer for The Help and Christopher Plummer for Beginners.
THE CULT OF BEAUTY: THE VICTORIAN AVANTE-GARDE, 18601900. The women are there at San Franciscos Legion of Honor. The wives and mistresses of the British Aesthetic Movement artists, they gaze from their frames at their 21st century admirers. Chief among the beauties is the Irish artists model Jo Hiffernan, James McNeill Whistlers paramour and muse, who is the haunting gure in his 1862 Symphony in White No. 1: The White Girl (notorious for its inclusion in Pariss famed Salon des Refuss of 1863). Her magnicent portrait, which normally resides in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is only one of more than 180 superb artworks now on view at the Legion that express the manifold ways that avant-garde attitudes permeated Victorian material culture: the traditional high art of painting, fashionable trends in architecture and interior decoration, handmade and manufactured furnishings for the artistic home, art photography and new modes of dress. The Cult of Beauty: The Victorian Avant-Garde, 18601900 was previously on view at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Muse dOrsay in Paris. The Legion of Honor is the exclusive U.S. venue. British Aestheticism radically redened the relationships between the artist and society, between the ne arts and design, and between art and both ethics and criticism. The iconoclastic belief that arts sole purpose is to be beautiful on its own formal terms stood in direct opposition to Victorian societys commitment to arts role as moral educator. The Cult of Beauty: The Victorian Avant-Garde, 18601900 traces the movements evolution from a small circle of progressive artists and poets, through the achievements of innovative painters and architects, to its broad impact on fashion and the middle-class home. Originating curator Dr. Lynn Federle Orr explains, Like a ne Victorian novel, the story of the Aesthetic Movement is one centered around serious social debatesshifting class structures, the confrontation between science and religion, arts place in society, the impact of new market forces and a unique emphasis on the middle-class

home. The exhibition explores this search for a new beauty in the design creations and paintings of Whistler, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris and their circle. The necessity of decorating their own homes led these bohemian characters to create furnishings of elegant and forthright formfurniture, wallpaper, textiles and decorative objects of every typeutilizing traditional methods of construction and incorporating stylized motifs into their surface ornamentation. William Morriss Fruit (or Pomegranate) wallpaper (1866) combines plant forms observed rst hand as well as more stylized representations found in woodcuts, illuminated manuscripts and tapestries. Exhibition visitors may wonder why beautiful aesthetic paintings, such as Frederic Leightons sensual Pavonia (18581859) and the Pre-Raphaelite William Holman Hunts, Il Dolce Far Niente, (1866), shocked the conventional Victorian public.
An early highpoint underscores the Victorian avant-garde belief that art exists only to be beautiful, as suggested by their rallying cry Art for Arts Sake. Architect and designer Edward William Godwins signature ebonized sideboard (18651875) reveals the deceptively modern result he achieved by mining historic sources. Showcased is the virtuoso collaboration between Godwin and Whistler: a glorious piece of furniture titled Harmony in Yellow and Gold: The Butterfly Cabinet (18771878). Inspiration from various disparate cultural and historic traditions is epitomized by William Eden Nesfields Anglo-Japanese screen (1867). A March 11 event at the Legion of Honor re-creates London during the time of Oscar Wilde, permitting a close look at the Aesthetic Movement. On this special day in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Artists Salon, the personalities of the Victorian avant-garde come to life. Sit down and gaze into the eyes of Elizabeth Siddal and converse with William Morris. The Artists Salon brings the Legion of Honor galleries to life while you take your turn at sketching models. The program also includes special guests from Dark Garden Corsetry in San Franciscos Hayes Valley neighborhood. Learn about the evolution of Victorian fashion from corsets to the Aesthetic ideal. Representatives and artisans will be on site to teach you about the histories of womens and mens fashions in the era. The themes of subsequent Cult of Beauty events are Sunday, March 18: Fantasy, Science, and Magic; Sunday, April 8: A Victorian Easter Wonderland; and Sunday, May 12: Muses, Music & Divas by leading academics Peter Trippi and Tim Barringer. The Legion of Honor Museum is located in Lincoln Park, 34th Avenue and Clement Street, San Francisco. Museum hours are TuesdaySunday, 9:30 a.m.5:15 p.m; closed on Mondays. For information about admission prices, docent tours and lectures and activities related to the exhibit, visit www.legionofhonor.org or call (415) 750-3600. The Cult of Beauty: The Victorian Avant-Garde, 18601900 runs through June 17.

achievement and should do well in the technical categories (it leads all lms with 11 nominations). The heavy-handed Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close doesnt even belong here. then Jean Dujardin won the Screen Actors Guild Award for best actor beating Clooney, among others and the tidal wave of love that showered over him that night was an indication that this town is rmly behind The Artist in every way. It is an impressive performance in a demanding role, and Dujardin is undeniably charming; hes got this young Gene-Kelly thing going. And so a win for Dujardin will be part of a big night for this little black-and-white movie. (For the record, Id love to see Brad Pitt win. His performance as Oakland As general manager Billy Beane in Moneyball allows him to show everything he can do in one place, and hes due.)
THE DAILY JOURNAL

GERMAIN: When Christopher Plummer was quoting Hamlet in the original Klingon 20 years ago in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country, the esteemed Shakespearean actor clearly had a grand time hamming up the Bard in outer space. Yet with Plummers bumpy Klingon cranium and eyepatch riveted to his skull, he looked like a guy resigned never to earn his critical due in Hollywood. Star Trek may pay well, but its not all that kind to an actors reputation. After a nearly 60-year career that includes roles in such Oscar winners and contenders as The Sound of Music, The Insider and A Beautiful Mind, Plummer nally picked up his rst Oscar nomination two years ago as Leo Tolstoy in The Last Station. At 82, Plummer is set to become the oldest acting winner ever for Beginners, a down-to-earth role thats worlds away from the Klingon empire. Plummer is joyously genuine as a widower who lived the lie of straight family man most of his life but comes out as gay for a few twilight years of fun, frolic and nally connecting with the son who never really knew him growing up. The lms a testament to Tom Robbins line that its never too late to have a happy childhood. And for Plummer, that its never too late to earn your due as one of the class acts of the big screen.
WINNERS?
Moneyball, The Tree of Life, War Horse. GERMAIN: The buzz began at Cannes, as last Mays crowd considered the prospects of The Artist, a last-minute addition to the worlds most prestigious lm festival competition. Heres what the Cannes festival program promised for this throwback to silent cinema: Hollywood 1927. George Valentin is a silent movie superstar. The advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion. For young extra Peppy Miller, it seems the skys the limit major movie stardom awaits. Before The Artist premiered, Cannes critics asked one another, Do you suppose its really silent? And they thought: How unlike the usual Cannes snoot-fest. This one actually could be fun. Well, The Artist has been great fun ever since, winning Jean Dujardin the Cannes best-actor prize as George, launching him and fellow Oscar nominee Berenice Bejo to worldwide celebrity, and charming fans with its grand black-and-white visuals, its sweet comic melodrama, its rich score and sound effects, its show-stopping dance numbers, and its adorable canine co-star Uggie. Writer-director Michel Hazanavicius delivers a glorious dose of nostalgia with hip, modern air, creating what will be the only silent lm to win best picture since the rst year at the Oscars 83 years ago. For the principals of The Artist Hazanavicius, Dujardin, Bejo, Uggie major movie stardom no longer awaits. Its here. LEMIRE: I am not nearly as enamored of The Artist as Dave is. I think its a very lovingly crafted, meticulously detailed gimmick. Its sweet but it drags; the dog is the best part. But everyone in this town is clinging to the nostalgia this film offers, pining for the moment in history that it captures, so Im just going to have to surrender to the juggernaut and acknowledge that its going to win best picture. For a little while last year, it looked like The Descendants was your front-runner; many consider it Alexander Paynes best lm. If it were up to me, The Tree of Life would win; Terrence Malicks gorgeous meditation on the origin of the universe is the real accomplishment here gorgeous, ambitious and challenging. Im just happy it was nominated. Hugo, Martin Scorseses rst lm in beautifully immersive 3-D, is a great visual
BEST DIRECTOR
Nominees: Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist; Alexander Payne, The Descendants; Martin Scorsese, Hugo; Woody Allen, Midnight in Paris; Terrence Malick, The Tree of Life. GERMAIN: At the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Kristen Wiig and her Bridesmaids co-stars Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy came up with a funny drinking game involving the last name of Martin Scorsese, whose pronunciation they hilariously debated. Good thing awards season has given presenters plenty of chances to practice pronouncing the name of the directing frontrunner Scorseses up against. Michel Hazanavicius (ha-zahn-a-VISH-us) has gone from solid success at home in France with his OSS 117 spy romps to international innovator for his crazy little idea to resurrect the silent lm. Hazanavicius came up with a lovely story lovingly told, combining sumptuous music, stylish costumes, gorgeous black-andwhite images and only the barest whisper of spoken dialogue into an experience thats nothing short of transporting. Charles Chaplin continued making silent lms well into the sound era, and Mel Brooks scored a comic hit with his spoof Silent Movie. But no lmmaker of modern times really took silence seriously until Hazanavicius, who bucked every trend of kaleidoscopic color, ear-shattering sound and digitized 3-D visual spectacle to make old Hollywood fresh and new again. For that, and for the great lm he made, hell get his Oscar.
BEST ACTRESS:
Nominees: Glenn Close, Albert Nobbs; Viola Davis, The Help; Rooney Mara, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo; Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady; Michelle Williams, My Week With Marilyn. GERMAIN: Itll be sad to see Meryl Streep go home a loser again. The performer with a record 17 acting nominations has won twice, but its been 29 years since her last victory, and Streeps impeccable transformation into former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher looked like her best shot for a third Oscar. Likewise, Michelle Williams remarkable embodiment of Marilyn Monroe is her own best chance after three nominations and an opportunity for Hollywood to pay some respect-by-association to Monroe, who never was nominated for an Oscar herself. But Viola Davis will mop up Sunday night. Davis, Streeps co-star and fellow nominee for 2008s Doubt, brings boundless grace, humor, erceness and resilience to her role as a black maid in the 1960s Deep South who joins other housekeepers in sharing tales of life with their haughty, racist white employers. Critics could snipe that Hollywood hasnt come that far since Hattie McDaniel became the rst black to win an acting Oscar for playing a maid in 1939s Gone with the Wind. Yet Davis and co-star Octavia Spencer, the supporting-actress favorite, stamp an unforgettable human face on the help a class of people typically treated as drab and anonymous by Hollywood yet elevated here to nobility.
SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Nominees: Berenice Bejo, The Artist; Jessica Chastain, The Help; Melissa McCarthy, Bridesmaids; Janet McTeer, Albert Nobbs; Octavia Spencer, The Help. LEMIRE: It would be a complete hoot to see Melissa McCarthy win. A longtime standup comic and former member of the Los Angeles improv theatre The Groundlings, she would give an acceptance speech wed never forget. Plus it would be nice to see the Academy acknowledge the difculty of doing this kind of comedy right; McCarthy is a complete scene-stealer as an inappropriate, brash bridesmaid, taking the role to dangerous and unexpected places. But Octavia Spencer is the favorite here, and justiably so. In an ensemble cast of strong women (including fellow nominees Viola Davis and Jessica Chastain), she shines as a put-upon maid who dares to tell the truth in the 1960s South. Spencers very presence radiates joy and grace, humor and heart. Her scenes with Chastain offer the possibility of healing and redemption during an ugly, tumultuous time. And given that shes been winning pretty much every award leading up to the Oscars, we know shell give a memorable speech Sunday night herself.
BEST ACTOR
Nominees: Demian Bichir, A Better Life; George Clooney, The Descendants; Jean Dujardin, The Artist; Gary Oldman, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy; Brad Pitt, Moneyball. LEMIRE: A month ago, I would have picked George Clooney to win this. His performance as a father struggling to raise his two daughters while their mother is in a coma while also accepting the revelation that shes been having an affair and deciding how to handle an important land deal that will alter his familys royal Hawaiian legacy felt like a rare regular-guy role. He was nally an ordinary, middle-aged man dealing with ordinary, middle-aged problems, and its some of the best work of his eclectic, sterling career. But

the majority of Californians, not just to their own, so this is just a continuation of that process, he said. I think weve laid the groundwork for improving our standing in the state, but its a long journey for us. Its going to be a long journey for the party because we didnt emphasize the fundamentals of party-building enough over the last decade. Republicans now make up just 30 percent of registered California voters, while Democrats have nearly 44 percent. More than 21 percent of voters now say they have no party preference up 5 percentage points from 2003, when Republican registration was about 5 percentage points higher and Democrats were around the same as they are now. This weekends meeting will feature three town halls showcasing demographic groups the party has historically overlooked but now hopes to appeal to: Asian-Americans, Hispanics and young voters. Ricky Gill, a 24-year-old IndianAmerican who is challenging Democratic incumbent Jerry McNerney in a San Joaquin Valley congressional seat, will be a featured speaker at the young voters forum on Saturday. In recent years, California Republican Party conventions also have been marked by internal political feuds, as party moderates have challenged conservatives to be more pragmatic. Del Beccaro declined to say whether hes deliberately trying to keep the spotlight off divisive social issues such as abortion and gay marriage at the Fridayto-Sunday gathering. Instead, he said Republicans are focusing on the economy, their support for a state spending cap and Californias $9.2 billion budget decit. Theres nothing about me that lives in the negative, he said. Im doing things because I want to, not because Im afraid of what else is going on. Still, party delegates are scheduled to vote on a new platform that would continue the GOPs movement to the right by drawing attention to exactly those issues. It emphasizes free enterprise economics, traditional marriage, two-parent families, opposition to abortion and ending Californias practice of providing election ballots in multiple languages. We believe public policy and education should not be exploited to present or teach homosexuality as an acceptable alternative lifestyle. We oppose samesex partner benets, child custody, and adoption, reads one of the sections. Republicans in the Legislature opposed a bill that was passed last year and signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown requiring public schools to include the contributions of gays and lesbians in social studies lessons. Gingrich is the only presidential hopeful scheduled to address the gathering. Pawlenty, a former candidate for the nomination who now supports Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, also is among the speakers, along with Reince Preibus, chairman of the Republican National Committee. dancers Erin Yarbrough-Stewart and Jonathan Powell brings it to life with such erotic grace that the audience is held breathless by the sheer beauty of their movements. Smuin programs generally conclude with some knock-out, choreography to songs by popular singers songs, such as Elvis Presley. This time its Dear Miss Cline, by resident choreographer, Amy Seiwert, to songs by the late country and pop singer Patsy Cline. Ive been watching Seiwert, a former dancer with the Sacramento Ballet and Smuin Ballet, ever since Michael Smuin gave her the rst shot at choreographing for his company. I watched her grow from the rst works, clearly inuenced by Michael until she proves in Dear Miss Cline she is now a secure choreographer in her own right. As could be expected from the Cline songs she choreographed, including my favorite: Bill Bailey Wont You Please Come Home? its a fun romp for the young company in down-home, hoedown country dancing. Seiwert throws in some unique new movements that put this a cut above run-of-the mill country choreography. So, the Smuin Ballet under Ceila Fushille marches on until its Spring Concert, mostly new works, at the Mountain View Center of the Performing Arts in April. interest is also earned while the district has the money. From the rst loan, Parungao estimates the net cost to the district will be $3,581. The real cost to the district is time. Were consistently losing human resources because of cuts, he said. Applying for such a short-term loan can take two to three weeks. Parungao has dedicated more than that this year as the district is going for a second round. The San Carlos Elementary School District will also be looking to a shortterm loan. Superintendent Craig Baker said the board annually approves such a nancing measure but normally doesnt have to use it. Jill Fredericksen, budget analyst for the San Carlos district, said it may need to go for a $7.7 million short-term loan money the district should receive next month. Baker wasnt a fan of needing the funding bridge but recognized its a reality. Borrowing money isnt new for local districts. Its a solution some turned to in both 2009 and 2010.

GOP
to be the headline attraction on Saturday, along with former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. After losing the race for California governor and all other statewide ofces in 2010, the Republican Partys fortunes fell further in 2011 when an independent commission created new electoral maps that reduced the number of districts in which Republicans are favored in the state Senate, Assembly and Congress. Party officials invested months of energy on a costly lawsuit asking the state Supreme Court to overturn the new maps that were drawn by a voterapproved commission that the party once backed. The state Republican party also has spent more than $2.3 million on an initiative campaign asking voters to overturn the maps, which is expected to qualify soon for the November ballot. Critics within the party say that money would have been better spent helping candidates in districts expected to have close races or registering new voters. Party Chairman Tom Del Beccaro, who took over the top post last year, remains undaunted. He said he is focusing on the fundamentals, including voter registration, communication with voters and building support teams in communities throughout the state. From day one, if you remember, I said the party needed to start talking to

SMUIN
It remains as good as ever, even with some substantial changes in personnel over the following years. If I needed to characterize the performers equally cast in numbers with male and female dancers in a few words it would be athletic grace, as they are called upon to perform modern, new, complex and often tortured athletic movements as well as the classical. Its like a finely tuned dancing machine in which there arent any principal performers but all of equal quality and interchangeable in all of the companys roles from elegant classical to modern whimsy. Perhaps, the title ballet is insufcient to describe this company because it serves equally as a modern dance company. The program opens with Tango Palace, a sultry and wildly sexy tribute to the tango by Smuin himself, usually danced in dimly lit dives by slinky lower-class residents of Argentina. But Smuin added touches of whimsy, such as a sequence of two males rejected as dancing partners by the women in the room doing a satirical version of the passion of normally heterosexual dancing partnerships, showing how furious

and ridiculous some of the movements are to American eyes as they throw each other around the dance oor to sounds of traditional Latin music. The company moves on to another work by Smuin, Sabat Mater, to the somber music of the same name by Antonin Dvorak. It was inspired by events of 9/11 and poses the eternal question about the meaning of loss and death. It features a very moving pas de deux by Susan Roemer grieving the loss of her man, danced by Joshua Reynolds. Michael Smuins romantic pas de deux Eternal Idol, to the music of Frederic Chopin, was the show stealer of the evening. Based on a statue of a nude couple in an embrace by August Rodin, For other local districts, the college funding change will mean more work. Most revenue limit districts are paid through a combination of local property taxes and state funds. For example, for this school year, the Redwood City Elementary School District estimated its revenue limit funding would be $45.9 million, which is made up of $17.3 million in property tax and $ 28.6 million in state aid, said Chief Business Ofcial Raul Parungao. Now, the local property tax will go to the college district. Redwood City will still get $45.9 million but all the money will come from the state, which has been deferring payments. To ensure employees are paid and the lights in classrooms stay on, the Redwood City Elementary School District needs to take out short-term loans. This year, the district turned to a $12.59 million loan in October and will need to take out another for at least $6 million in May to cover cash-ow needs through the end of the school year, said Parungao. Of course the district faces interest payments on the loan, but Parungao notes

immediate benet from the change it shouldnt be impacted by the recently announced state shortfall to Californias community colleges. Earlier this week, California Community Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott announced the 112campus system faces an additional $149 million decit because of lower-thanexpected property tax revenue and greater demand for student fee waivers. At the start of the year, the college district was revenue limit. As such, it budgeted conservatively. With the basic aid status, property tax funding and state fees are more than the estimated budget, explained Kathy Blackwood, interim executive vice chancellor for the SMCCD. So, being basic aid doesnt get us any more money, but it does mean that we are partially protected from deeper cuts, she said.

Venezuelas Chavez assures backers:I will live!
CARACAS, Venezuela For someone whos ill, President Hugo Chavez didnt show it Thursday as he launched into fullblown campaign mode on his last day in Venezuela before ying to Cuba for cancer surgery. Chavez, who is running for re-election this year, spoke for more than four hours on a folksy, upbeat broadcast, pausing only so supporters could send greetings, messages of encouragement and reports on home construction and new soy plantations from Hugo Chavez around the country. At one point, an apple-cheeked boy clad in the red of Chavezs socialist political movement appeared via a video feed from the western city of Maracaibo and recited a poem about the presidents illness and how he will overcome it. Chavez, 57, invoked the revolutionary language of both Cuba and his own country, and vowed to see the campaign through even after revelations of his cancers comeback cast his health and stamina in doubt. I will live! I will live! cried a bespectacled Chavez, pounding the table in a hall in the Miraores government palace during the live broadcast. The president took over the national airwaves hours after lawmakers granted him permission to absent himself from the country while he has a potentially cancerous tumor surgically removed, a formality required by the constitution.
Widespread attacks kill 55 across Iraq

BAGHDAD Bombs and deadly shootings relentlessly pounded Iraqis on Thursday, killing at least 55 people and wounding more than 225 in a widespread wave of violence the government called a frantic attempt by insurgents to prove the country will never be stable. Cars burned, school desks were bloodied, bandaged victims lay in hospitals and pools of blood were left with the wounded on oors of bombed businesses after the daylong series of attacks in 12 cities across Iraq. The assault demonstrated how vulnerable the country remains two months after the American military left and put the onus for protecting the public solely in the hands of Iraqi forces. There was no reason for this bomb. A primary school is here, students came to study and people came to work, Karim Abbas woefully said in the town of Musayyib, where he saw a car bomb
We want to know:What were the thousands of policemen and soldiers in Baghdad doing today while the terrorists were roaming the city and spreading violence?
Ahmed al-Tamimi
parked near an elementary school kill three people and wound 73. Most of the injured in the town, located about 40 miles (60 kilometers) south of Baghdad, were schoolchildren. Other Iraqis, fed up with the continued violence, furiously blamed security forces for letting it happen. We want to know: What were the thousands of policemen and soldiers in Baghdad doing today while the terrorists were roaming the city and spreading violence? said Ahmed al-Tamimi, who was working at an Education Ministry ofce a block away from a restaurant bombed in the Shiite neighborhood of Kazimiyah in northern Baghdad. He described a hellish scene of human esh and pools of blood at the restaurant, where another car bomb killed nine
people and wounded 19. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the latest attacks, but car bombs are a hallmark of al-Qaida. The Iraqi Interior Ministry blamed alQaida insurgents for the violence. These attacks are part of frantic attempts by the terrorist groups to show that the security situation in Iraq will not ever be stable, the ministry said in a statement. These attacks are part of al-Qaida efforts to deliver a message to its supporters that al-Qaida is still operating inside Iraq, and it has the ability to launch strikes inside the capital or other cities and towns. Fifteen of the days 26 attacks targeted security forces on patrols, at checkpoints and around government and political ofces.
In battered Syrian city, cries of tragic plight

BEIRUT Medics stitch wounds with thread used for clothing. Hungry residents risk Syrian government sniper re or shelling to hunt for dwindling supplies of bread and canned food on the streets of the besieged city of Homs. The opposition stronghold was being destroyed inch by inch, by government forces, with collapsed walls and scorched buildings, according to accounts Thursday, while Western and Arab leaders hoped to silence the guns long enough to rush in relief aid. The pressure for humanitarian corridors into the central Syrian city of Homs and other places caught in President Bashar Assads crushing attacks appeared to be part of shifts toward more aggressive steps against his regime after nearly a year of bloodshed and thousands of deaths in an anti-government uprising. In back-to-back announcements, U.N.-appointed investigators in Geneva said a list for possible crimes against humanity prosecution reaches as high as Assad, and international envoys in London including U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton made nal touches to an expected demand for Assad to call a cease-re within days to permit emergency shipments of food and medicine.

SIMITIAN
not ll their prescriptions due to cost. Senate Bill 798, the Recovery & Reuse of Unused Prescription Medicines bill passed in 2005, allows counties to recover unused prescription medications from skilled nursing facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturers and wholesalers and distribute them without charge to people of modest means who need the medications. Simitian will introduce legislation today at Stanford University that will expand the numbers of who can supply and receive the surplus drugs, make it easier for counties to opt into the program and allow county pharmacies to transfer discarded drugs between themselves. Simitian has partnered with a nonprot group out of Stanford called Supporting Initiatives to Redistribute Unused Medicine, or SIRUM, that has redistributed more than 250,000 pills to the uninsured through SB 798 since its passage. Simitian said SIRUMs work shows that the program has proven itself successful and that it is time to divert more wasted drugs to those who cannot afford it. It is time to take the bill to new levels, Simitian told the Daily Journal yesterday. Clinics that serve the uninsured have high medicine acquisition costs, said Kiah Williams, co-founder and director at SIRUM. We see a lot of opportunity to expand the program. There are lots of uninsured in California who need access to drugs, she said. SIRUM provides technological and logistics help in moving the medications from one patient to another, she said. SIRUMs redistribution effort has already saved the state nearly $600,000. If one nonprot can save the state this much, Simitian said, then expanding the program should save the state even more while providing more people with needed medicine. SB 798 ensures that all medications are collected by and maintained under the authority of a licensed pharmacist and are received and maintained in their unopened, tamper-evident packaging. Simitian and others will hold a press conference 4:30 p.m., today, Hass Center for Public Service, 562 Salvatierra Walk, Stanford University.
